Speaker 1: Jeff Warris, did you don't jeckle Jack Warris, did you
0:06
Speaker 1: jag Warris Drive Time right and sex steps to John says, actually,
0:14
Speaker 1: Jaguarris Drive Time starts right now. I mean based practice,
0:20
Speaker 1: we just had I feel good with where the team's at.
0:22
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of times when stuff's going like
0:24
Speaker 1: it is, uh, you know, you get a lot of fingerpointing,
0:27
Speaker 1: a lot of oh, well, I'm doing my job. We
0:29
Speaker 1: really don't have that. Everybody's on the same page, you know,
0:31
Speaker 1: trying to find solutions. Um, it's really all we can
0:35
Speaker 1: ask for. Um. You know, it couldn't be more happy
0:38
Speaker 1: with the guys that we have, and um, you know,
0:40
Speaker 1: I'm excited to keep pushing and keep going to war
0:42
Speaker 1: with them. I heard from multiple players yesterday that same message.
0:49
Speaker 1: Eck Wing Gardner mints you having to be more productive,
0:52
Speaker 1: execute better, and take better advantage of opportunities this weekend
0:56
Speaker 1: against the Detroit Lions. Welcome in to Jaguars Drive of
1:00
Speaker 1: Time Thursday. Warning. We're here with John Ousier and Brian
1:03
Speaker 1: Sexton and John Ousier. I don't know about you, but
1:06
Speaker 1: we heard from Doug Marone, Jay Gruden, Chris Connolly and
1:11
Speaker 1: Gardner Minschree yesterday. Uh, I sensed a sense of urgency
1:15
Speaker 1: and definitely no nonsense getting to work this week. I
1:18
Speaker 1: don't know about you. Yeah, I mean, and that's what
1:22
Speaker 1: you would expect. They've lost four straight games. Uh, it's
1:27
Speaker 1: time to either win or start you know, kind of
1:31
Speaker 1: accepting that. You know, if you don't start winning at
1:34
Speaker 1: some point, then all of a sudden, they can't even
1:37
Speaker 1: talk playoffs, post season, any of that stuff. So you
1:40
Speaker 1: would expect urgency. In terms of Gardner Minshire, everybody always
1:43
Speaker 1: tries to read the quarterback and they try to figure
1:45
Speaker 1: out what he's saying as press conference. Isn't he hasn't
1:48
Speaker 1: been as giddy lately. Well, he's not going to be,
1:52
Speaker 1: you know, Gardner Minshew commercial guy on a four game
1:57
Speaker 1: losing straight. He's a serious guy. He wants to win
2:00
Speaker 1: and he knows he knows now is the time to
2:02
Speaker 1: be serious. I don't know they will or not, but
2:04
Speaker 1: they certainly have a sense of urgency. Yes, big time grind.
2:09
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've noticed the Larry Terry Gary
2:13
Speaker 1: giggling type of quarterback. We haven't seen that in the
2:16
Speaker 1: past few weeks. Eventually it all goes away and you
2:20
Speaker 1: become more business like, and Gardner's reached the point in
2:23
Speaker 1: his career where they're up against the wall and business
2:27
Speaker 1: is the only thing that you can sell. So I
2:29
Speaker 1: thought he did a good job yesterday of taking the
2:31
Speaker 1: appropriate amount of blame if that's the word you want
2:35
Speaker 1: to use for what's going on, and then trying to
2:38
Speaker 1: keep his team together. I mean, he's acting. Let's fix it.
2:41
Speaker 1: The guy has been a pro since he got here. Um,
2:44
Speaker 1: he understands what it takes to play the game, whether
2:46
Speaker 1: he's the big arm or not. Forget all that, all
2:48
Speaker 1: the intangibles he's got, and UM, I liked what I
2:51
Speaker 1: saw and heard from him yesterday big time. And with that,
2:56
Speaker 1: let's get into big things because it absolutely involves Gardner
2:59
Speaker 1: man shoo. Thing One is the ratio. This is nothing new.
3:02
Speaker 1: We have talked about this the past few days, the
3:05
Speaker 1: past to run ratio? Where is it going to be
3:07
Speaker 1: this week? What should this offense be doing? It's no secret.
3:11
Speaker 1: And into the first week through for twenty times or
3:13
Speaker 1: less in name one, the past four weeks he's thrown
3:15
Speaker 1: for forty attempts or more and they have lost offensive
3:19
Speaker 1: porting er J Gruden says they might be sticking with
3:22
Speaker 1: the run a little bit more this week. Every week.
3:25
Speaker 1: Um our design is to go in there and run
3:27
Speaker 1: the football pound of football. Unfortunately, I've done a four
3:30
Speaker 1: job of sticking with it. So is something that something
3:33
Speaker 1: we have to obviously get better at and be uh
3:38
Speaker 1: aware of the game, of the situation and all that. Obviously,
3:41
Speaker 1: sometimes late in the third quarter, fourth quarter, if you
3:43
Speaker 1: take out that part of the game in the last
3:45
Speaker 1: two or three weeks, it's hard to run the ball.
3:48
Speaker 1: But we do have to do a better job early
3:50
Speaker 1: in games, try to maintain the run and and keep
3:52
Speaker 1: for a lineman pounding a rock a little bit and
3:55
Speaker 1: keeping the pressure off Gardner. Big thing too is Captain Connolly.
4:01
Speaker 1: The veterans on this team, such as wide receiver Chris Connolly,
4:04
Speaker 1: have a big task at hand. Yes, worry about their
4:07
Speaker 1: own game, but it's on captain's like them to show
4:10
Speaker 1: these young guys the way to fight through adversity. Chris
4:13
Speaker 1: Connolly has been here before and it's setting a good example. Now.
4:17
Speaker 1: I've been on teams that were one in five, that
4:20
Speaker 1: one eleven straight games and went into the playoffs. You know,
4:23
Speaker 1: like I've been there, I've seen that I've been on
4:26
Speaker 1: teams where we might have been just as talented as
4:29
Speaker 1: we are here, and we want a lot of games.
4:31
Speaker 1: So when you tell someone that, it's tough to get
4:34
Speaker 1: them to believe really believe that. But one of the
4:37
Speaker 1: things that I've noticed about these young guys is they're
4:39
Speaker 1: they're tough, man, They're tough, They're hanging in there, they're
4:42
Speaker 1: working extremely hard, and so we don't have to coach
4:45
Speaker 1: effort here. Uh, it's really just raising our level of
4:48
Speaker 1: discipline and our execution. And so that's what um, that's
4:52
Speaker 1: what we're doing. And um, you know, they're handling it.
4:54
Speaker 1: They're handling it just about as well as they can. Uh,
4:57
Speaker 1: you know, we just got to make sure that everybody's
4:59
Speaker 1: in the right place. Big Thing three is Stafford. Matthew
5:05
Speaker 1: Stafford is definitely an incredibly talented quarterback, but not the
5:08
Speaker 1: elite quarterback we were talking about last week with the
5:11
Speaker 1: Shawn Watson. Nonetheless, this is a very dangerous guy when
5:15
Speaker 1: he gets hot and when he gets productive. The Jaguars
5:18
Speaker 1: defense is going to have to limit that production. On Sunday.
5:22
Speaker 1: Let's go back up too. Big Thing one, Brian, you
5:25
Speaker 1: have honed in on this and I sent you the
5:28
Speaker 1: Twitter message yesterday when Jay Grun mentioned the past to
5:31
Speaker 1: run ratio, I was like, Wow, Jay Gruden, he's watching
5:34
Speaker 1: Jaguars drive time, but is definitely probably something of importance
5:39
Speaker 1: and the offensive meetings. This is basic stuff, you know.
5:43
Speaker 1: I mean when I look at Gardner Minshew, now I
5:47
Speaker 1: see Blake Bortles, right. I mean they're different. One was
5:49
Speaker 1: a third overall pick and one was a sixth round pick.
5:52
Speaker 1: But I see a guy who is going to have
5:54
Speaker 1: success when he's got control of the tempo of the game.
5:58
Speaker 1: They need to be able to run. This is still
6:00
Speaker 1: despite the fact that they've drafted receivers and brought in
6:03
Speaker 1: Jay Gruden, who's a passing game guru. This is still
6:06
Speaker 1: an offense that is predicated on the ability to run
6:09
Speaker 1: the football first and foremost. When they run the football,
6:13
Speaker 1: it plays right to Gardner's strength, just like it did
6:16
Speaker 1: with play Bortles when they ran in seen with Leonard
6:19
Speaker 1: for Nett, this team has to be able to run
6:23
Speaker 1: the ball in order to set up play action when
6:27
Speaker 1: it does. We've seen how good he is. We've seen
6:30
Speaker 1: how he holds the ball, slides in the pocket, makes
6:33
Speaker 1: a move to the outside. He's terrific with play action,
6:37
Speaker 1: but he has to have has to have the running game,
6:40
Speaker 1: which is why the ratio is so important. I don't
6:42
Speaker 1: think it could be any less. In fact, I think
6:46
Speaker 1: it should run to pass. It's me seven years of
6:52
Speaker 1: doing this, it's the way I see this sort of
6:54
Speaker 1: formula working for him. But they've got to get that
6:56
Speaker 1: ratio right, John, Yeah, I can't even remotely for seeing
7:04
Speaker 1: the NFL these days a team actually getting But I
7:09
Speaker 1: know your point. You've got to strive to get much better.
7:12
Speaker 1: It was last week or some of all those lives.
7:15
Speaker 1: That's not gonna cut it for this team. Uh. You
7:18
Speaker 1: know last week it felt like in the first half
7:23
Speaker 1: of that game, they had to have seen something that
7:27
Speaker 1: made them think, we have got to be able to
7:30
Speaker 1: throw against this defense because they are stopping the run.
7:34
Speaker 1: You know it was it was just too there and
7:37
Speaker 1: then to take advantage of it and if it felt
7:39
Speaker 1: like it means you couldn't was what happened. So do
7:44
Speaker 1: they have to go back and say, even if we
7:49
Speaker 1: believe that this is a throw, is the defense need
7:52
Speaker 1: to throw against? Do we need to just go ahead
7:55
Speaker 1: and bat our heads against that wall and hope we
7:58
Speaker 1: break it? Down. So I don't know that they will
8:01
Speaker 1: go to that extreme, but we all know the closer
8:05
Speaker 1: you can get to something something like that, get the
8:09
Speaker 1: run up, I'd be stunned this week after all this
8:12
Speaker 1: talk if it's not closer this week, at least in
8:14
Speaker 1: the first half. Definitely agree, and it definitely plays to
8:20
Speaker 1: the defense that you're playing. This is the third week
8:22
Speaker 1: in a row that the Jaguars offense is facing the
8:26
Speaker 1: worst ranked run defense in the league. But we say
8:29
Speaker 1: that the past two weeks, Brian really haven't seen any
8:31
Speaker 1: production because of that. Not enough, not enough, fair enough,
8:40
Speaker 1: all right, so let's go. It's a big thing too,
8:41
Speaker 1: which is Captain Connelly John wide receiver Chris Connelly definitely
8:46
Speaker 1: fired up yesterday and it's on guys like him. And
8:49
Speaker 1: we've spoken to Avery Jones the past two post games
8:52
Speaker 1: and definitely we're getting the same vibe that they're holding
8:54
Speaker 1: these guys accountable. But they have now a bigger sense
8:57
Speaker 1: of urgency that they have a bigger job to do
8:59
Speaker 1: with caps well, if the leadership on this team is strong.
9:04
Speaker 1: I've been asked several times this week, do you think
9:07
Speaker 1: they'll quit? Do you think they'll get down? At one
9:10
Speaker 1: and four, I don't sense this is a finger pointing team.
9:14
Speaker 1: I don't sense locker room issues along these lines. The
9:17
Speaker 1: issue is are they good enough? Is there enough frontline
9:22
Speaker 1: talent all over the defense two create and make plays
9:28
Speaker 1: in the situations that they're always talking about. There's not
9:31
Speaker 1: gonna be finger pointing. They're pulling together there the same direction.
9:34
Speaker 1: It's a young team. Aside from Conley and a couple
9:37
Speaker 1: of others, these guys haven't been around long enough to go,
9:40
Speaker 1: oh it's somebody else's fault. They're still trying to make
9:43
Speaker 1: their way in the league. I don't see fingerpoint and
9:46
Speaker 1: being an issue. I just wonder if there's enough frontline
9:49
Speaker 1: talent to win enough games to make them I don't
9:53
Speaker 1: know happy, if that's the right word. You know, Like
9:58
Speaker 1: when you talk about Doug a Roan and Dave Caldwell,
10:01
Speaker 1: they both stood up and gave this team thumbs up
10:05
Speaker 1: before the season began, and they both expressed how much
10:09
Speaker 1: they liked the team and how much they wanted people
10:11
Speaker 1: to give it a chance. And John, I think it's
10:12
Speaker 1: for the reason that you pointed out there's good veteran leadership,
10:15
Speaker 1: but there's high character young players on here. So they
10:19
Speaker 1: felt like if there was enough talent that he wrote
10:22
Speaker 1: that he elevated right that arose, they might be able
10:26
Speaker 1: to be competitive in Winston ballgames. Ye couldn't agree more
10:31
Speaker 1: high character guys that are going through some adversity right now,
10:34
Speaker 1: but seem to be handling it in the right wing.
10:36
Speaker 1: When we come back, we dive into Sunday game against
10:39

12:45
Speaker 1: on Jaguars Drive Time Thursday Morning, brought to you by
12:48
Speaker 1: the Fields Auto Group. We're taking a deep dive into
12:51
Speaker 1: Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions here with multimedia journalists
12:55
Speaker 1: for the Lions, Tory Petrie. Tory, thanks so much for
12:59
Speaker 1: waking up early with the with us on Thursday morning.
13:02
Speaker 1: You're coming off an early bye week in the season,
13:05
Speaker 1: and I know that the Lions had a pretty tough
13:06
Speaker 1: schedule to start the or. So take me through how
13:09
Speaker 1: you would summarize this first quarter of the season. First
13:13
Speaker 1: of all, Ashton, thank you so much for having me.
13:16
Speaker 1: I love being on here with you. Love the Gator
13:19
Speaker 1: helmet in your background. It's great to be chatting with
13:21
Speaker 1: the fellow Florida Gator here on Jacksonville Radio. I appreciate
13:25
Speaker 1: you have me. So let's talk about what the Lions
13:27
Speaker 1: have done in these first four weeks of their season.
13:30
Speaker 1: They had the bye in Week five. It was a
13:32
Speaker 1: tough way to open the year. We saw them do
13:35
Speaker 1: this last year where they would get leads in a game,
13:37
Speaker 1: uh and then they would lose it there in the
13:39
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and that happened in several of their games
13:42
Speaker 1: so far this season. They got off to a hot
13:46
Speaker 1: start against the Chicago Bears in Week one and then
13:49
Speaker 1: fell behind ended up losing that game to the Bears,
13:52
Speaker 1: a game they definitely should have won. Week two, they
13:55
Speaker 1: really had a tough time at the halftime swing with
13:58
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packer and the Green Bay Hackers won
14:01
Speaker 1: that game by a long shot. Week three, they were
14:03
Speaker 1: able to be the Arizona Cardinals and get their first
14:06
Speaker 1: win in eleven months. But then in Week four they
14:09
Speaker 1: fell to the New Orleans Saints after getting out to
14:11
Speaker 1: a four teen to zero lead in first five minutes
14:13
Speaker 1: of the game. So this team has not gotten off
14:16
Speaker 1: to the start that they want to, but they really
14:18
Speaker 1: are hoping to turn things around now after the bye.
14:24
Speaker 1: You guys want John to jump in here. He's a
14:26
Speaker 1: gamer alum. He can do the whole chomp thing with you.
14:29
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll go, Hey, Tory, how are you. I'm good.
14:34
Speaker 1: It's so good to chat with you, guys. Nice to
14:38
Speaker 1: see you. Hey. You were probably a freshman in Gamesville
14:41
Speaker 1: when the Lions drafted Matt Stafford. He was a you know,
14:45
Speaker 1: the top pick, clearly the best player in the two
14:47
Speaker 1: thousand nine draft. If you go back and look through
14:50
Speaker 1: the entire draft, the only player that you can say
14:54
Speaker 1: might be his equal would be Lashawn McCoy. Maybe that,
14:58
Speaker 1: but he has never lived up to the bill ing
15:00
Speaker 1: in Detroit as being the number one overall pick for yards.
15:04
Speaker 1: He's got some good numbers, but he's never gotten to
15:07
Speaker 1: that level where you think of him with the elite quarterbacks,
15:10
Speaker 1: even though he was drafted like it. So what is
15:14
Speaker 1: the perception among Lions fans of Stafford and what do
15:18
Speaker 1: you think his long term future is there? He's still
15:21
Speaker 1: a young man with a lot of football left in
15:22
Speaker 1: front of him. Yeah. I mean, well, when you talk
15:26
Speaker 1: about what Stafford has done over the course of his career,
15:29
Speaker 1: you have to remember that wins are not always the
15:31
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that that Sometimes it has not been Stafford's play
15:35
Speaker 1: that hasn't gotten them over the hump, but sometimes the
15:37
Speaker 1: team around him hasn't been good enough. Stafford has carried
15:41
Speaker 1: this team on his back for many points of his career,
15:44
Speaker 1: and last season he was playing at and, uh, you know,
15:48
Speaker 1: an all pro level before he got injured with that
15:50
Speaker 1: back injury halfway through the season and then missed the
15:53
Speaker 1: second half of the year. We really thought he was
15:55
Speaker 1: going to come out with that same power that he
15:58
Speaker 1: did in Darryl Pebble's offense to begin the season last
16:01
Speaker 1: year this season, but he hasn't quite been back to
16:05
Speaker 1: his normal self this season. He's had a little bit
16:08
Speaker 1: of a tough time in these first couple of games.
16:11
Speaker 1: Daryl Bevil, the offensive coordinator, pointed out, maybe it's his
16:14
Speaker 1: footwork that he needs to work on just a little
16:17
Speaker 1: bit this year. But Beth Matthew Stafford is an incredibly
16:20
Speaker 1: talented quarterback and he has been the backbone of this
16:24
Speaker 1: Lions team for many, many years. Um, I really believe
16:28
Speaker 1: the reason why he hasn't gotten over the hump isn't
16:30
Speaker 1: because of him, but sometimes because you know, it takes
16:33
Speaker 1: more than just a quarterback to win football games, and
16:36
Speaker 1: this season it seems like he's maybe made some of
16:39
Speaker 1: those four decisions because he's been trying to do a
16:41
Speaker 1: little bit too much. His defense hasn't really been backing
16:45
Speaker 1: him up in the way that they need to be,
16:47
Speaker 1: so it feels like he's trying to throw a touchdown
16:50
Speaker 1: on every play just because he feels like he has
16:52
Speaker 1: to do so much. Uh. You know, it's not something
16:55
Speaker 1: that he has come out and said, that's just something
16:56
Speaker 1: from from my observations of watching him, So I'm not
17:00
Speaker 1: really sure what has been going on with his game
17:03
Speaker 1: so far this season, but it hasn't been quite on point.
17:06
Speaker 1: But he did talk this week about how the Jacksonville
17:08
Speaker 1: Jaguars are the one NFL team that he hasn't thrown
17:12
Speaker 1: and touchdown against even though he is too and oh
17:14
Speaker 1: against them, so he's looking to change that this weekend. Okay, story,
17:21
Speaker 1: I'll go next. I'll give you a little is that? Okay?
17:28
Speaker 1: All right? I was asked and the first one short
17:33
Speaker 1: photostassing both t J. Hockenson. A lot of Jaguars fans
17:37
Speaker 1: are familiar with him because that was who they this
17:39
Speaker 1: team might have picked, could they not gone Josh Allen?
17:42
Speaker 1: And then the sense of urgency for this game for
17:45
Speaker 1: the Lions there one in three and I assume they
17:48
Speaker 1: feel like they need this game to get healthy and
17:50
Speaker 1: get it right. Oh yeah, absolutely, I definitely agree that
17:55
Speaker 1: they're looking at this game as Okay, we it's time
17:57
Speaker 1: for us to turn things around. First quarter season, didn't
18:00
Speaker 1: know how we wanted to, but now we have an
18:02
Speaker 1: opportunity to start to turn things around. Uh. Here in
18:06
Speaker 1: Week six, you mentioned t J. Hockenson. He is a
18:09
Speaker 1: huge part of this offense, and he's been one of
18:12
Speaker 1: their bright spots through the season so far. You know,
18:14
Speaker 1: we talked about them not getting up to the start
18:16
Speaker 1: that they want, but t J. Hockenson has played solid
18:18
Speaker 1: in every game that they've played so far this season.
18:22
Speaker 1: He got off to a hot start in his rookie
18:24
Speaker 1: year with a big game against Arizona Cardinals. Uh, you know,
18:27
Speaker 1: in in his rookie season in Week one. Kind of
18:30
Speaker 1: tapered off a little bit after that, but we've seen
18:32
Speaker 1: him be a favorite target of Matthew Stafford's here in
18:36
Speaker 1: this season. So far, he has been, you know, a
18:40
Speaker 1: solid option for him, a solid option and fantasy as
18:43
Speaker 1: well ahead the tight end position. So I would expect
18:46
Speaker 1: that to continue this week. Alright to where we got
18:51
Speaker 1: one more for you, Let's go to the defensive defense
18:55
Speaker 1: against the run as of right now, allowing on Alange
18:57
Speaker 1: a hundred seventy yards per game. It has this Devins
19:01
Speaker 1: talked about stopping Jaguars running back James Robinson. He's definitely
19:05
Speaker 1: been a positive here for us down here in Jacksonville. Yeah,
19:09
Speaker 1: James Robinson has been a huge topic of conversation in
19:12
Speaker 1: Detroit this week. They have talked about how they have
19:15
Speaker 1: got to stop that guy. It's been so impressive what
19:17
Speaker 1: he has been doing as an undrafted rookie free agent,
19:21
Speaker 1: and the lines coaches have all talked about how they
19:23
Speaker 1: need to be able to stop the run better than
19:26
Speaker 1: they have. It's the one thing that they really did
19:28
Speaker 1: well in that game against Arizona, there one win so
19:31
Speaker 1: far this season, they were able to stop Kyler Murray
19:33
Speaker 1: on the ground and force him to throw and they
19:35
Speaker 1: got three picks in that game. So I would expect
19:37
Speaker 1: that they're kind of trying to do something similar this week.
19:40
Speaker 1: They really want to stop the ground game so that
19:42
Speaker 1: they are able to make the Jaguars one dimensional. That
19:46
Speaker 1: would be their goal this week. But they have struggled
19:49
Speaker 1: against the run so far this season. And like I said,
19:52
Speaker 1: the one game that they won that was something that
19:54
Speaker 1: they did well, but in all the other games that
19:56
Speaker 1: they've lost, they have really struggled to stop the run. Now,
19:59
Speaker 1: they haven't quite said what adjustments they feel like they
20:02
Speaker 1: need to make to be able to do that, but
20:03
Speaker 1: they certainly need to have made some and they are
20:06
Speaker 1: hoping that this bye week has given them time to
20:08
Speaker 1: reassess their defense and look at what they have been
20:11
Speaker 1: doing wrong against the run. Already, big game on Sunday,
20:18
Speaker 1: Jaguars versus Lions here in Jacksonville, Tory, Petrie. Thanks so

22:44
Speaker 1: Tweets to tweets, to tweets top tweets. We start top
22:55
Speaker 1: tweets with some breaking news. As of last night, A
22:58
Speaker 1: trade going down between the Titans and the Jaguar is
23:01
Speaker 1: something you don't see too often trading within the division.
23:04
Speaker 1: The Titans have traded Kamale Korea to the Jags, a
23:08
Speaker 1: linebacker very productive for the Titans last season five sacks,
23:12
Speaker 1: two in the postseason has not as has not as
23:16
Speaker 1: had as much productivity so far this year. Has only
23:19
Speaker 1: gotten thirty nine snaps so far this year. So, Brian,
23:23
Speaker 1: why do you think this happened? I know he was
23:25
Speaker 1: unhappy in Tennessee, but you don't don't see this often
23:28
Speaker 1: happened often in the division. Um, it makes me wonder
23:34
Speaker 1: if Josh Allen is going to be down for a
23:36
Speaker 1: little bit longer than they may be anticipated. Um, you know,
23:39
Speaker 1: he when your list is questionable and then you don't
23:43
Speaker 1: even travel on Saturday, and I know that things are
23:46
Speaker 1: a little different in the COVID era. Um, that's you know,
23:50
Speaker 1: my first indication all right, something's up. And then when
23:53
Speaker 1: they trade for a linebacker who had two tackles and
23:58
Speaker 1: give up draft capital and don't here that it's a
24:00
Speaker 1: six round pick. A six round pick is Daniel Thomas, right,
24:03
Speaker 1: who had seven tackles last Sunday, So there's value there. Um.
24:07
Speaker 1: I don't know that they're going to come on and
24:08
Speaker 1: say it, but I would watch Josh Allen and his
24:12
Speaker 1: production and his participation closely. The next couple of days
24:15
Speaker 1: leading up to the game. Wouldn't surprise me at all
24:17
Speaker 1: if we don't see him this week or next and
24:19
Speaker 1: maybe they get him passed by. That's just experience saying
24:24
Speaker 1: watch out for this. I don't know what to be true.
24:28
Speaker 1: It depends how quickly they can get him ready. But John,
24:30
Speaker 1: what do you think of this trade going down? Well?
24:34
Speaker 1: I certainly watched for that, um, and I don't doubt
24:37
Speaker 1: that it could be a short term couple of weeks
24:39
Speaker 1: to It also feels a little bit like they may
24:43
Speaker 1: be trade. You know, they knew he was gonna come available,
24:46
Speaker 1: they knew they liked him, and they've had a little
24:51
Speaker 1: here with the Josh, with the Josh Jones who was
24:56
Speaker 1: available with the Sydney Jones, So it may be a
24:59
Speaker 1: case where they really like this guy and I feel
25:01
Speaker 1: like he could be a guy who fits in for
25:03
Speaker 1: the future, and they're saying, Okay, would we have used
25:07
Speaker 1: a sixth round pick on a player like this? Yeah, probably,
25:11
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and make this move. But I agree
25:13
Speaker 1: with Brian keeping eye on Josh Allen as well. Yes,
25:18
Speaker 1: we saw him at practice yesterday practicing with a knee brace,
25:21
Speaker 1: but nonetheless out there at practice getting some reps in.
25:24
Speaker 1: All right, we go to top tweet number two, and
25:26
Speaker 1: it's all about our guy, Sydney Jones, the stat throwing
25:29
Speaker 1: up from last Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, and
25:33
Speaker 1: Brian I spoke to him last night on Instagram Live
25:35
Speaker 1: and he had some pretty interesting things to say about
25:38
Speaker 1: his time with the Eagles. Spent three seasons there and
25:41
Speaker 1: tore his achilles his senior year of college. She was
25:44
Speaker 1: always coming back from that. He said, like, as of
25:46
Speaker 1: right now, he feels like he is finally getting the
25:48
Speaker 1: production that he's wanted in the NFL, and really it
25:51
Speaker 1: took a while for him to get over that achilles injury.
25:53
Speaker 1: So I think we're kind of starting to see the
25:55
Speaker 1: real progress of Sydney Jones so far in his NFL career. Now,
26:00
Speaker 1: part of this game is getting lucky sometimes and and
26:02
Speaker 1: having a player available to you with that kind of
26:06
Speaker 1: potential when he's ready to play. As I said, I
26:10
Speaker 1: watched him and the way that he played, not just
26:11
Speaker 1: the tip balls, but just the way that he played
26:13
Speaker 1: coverage against Houston and thought, well that he's better than
26:17
Speaker 1: anything else you have right now. So plug him in,
26:20
Speaker 1: let's go, and maybe you've got a long term stored
26:22
Speaker 1: on the other side opposite you're very promising first round
26:25
Speaker 1: Pixie j Anderson. Yep. And we're going to hear from
26:30
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Todd wash later on this morning. Johnna, I'm
26:33
Speaker 1: curious to see how they use him going forward. It's
26:36
Speaker 1: almost the point where he played so well. You want
26:38
Speaker 1: to see more of them. Yeah, and I mean thank
26:42
Speaker 1: you would remember, as I'm sure he told you, he
26:46
Speaker 1: tore his achilles it his pro day. He was going
26:49
Speaker 1: to be a first round draft pick out of Washington.
26:51
Speaker 1: So this is a big time talent and it may
26:55
Speaker 1: be a case where it's not. These serious injuries takes
26:58
Speaker 1: two or three years to come back. He did not
27:00
Speaker 1: look like a player Sunday who had been through a
27:03
Speaker 1: major injury. He looked live, He looked you know, peppy,
27:07
Speaker 1: as Slyn used to say a long time ago. So
27:10
Speaker 1: he looked very very good. I would anticipate at some
27:14
Speaker 1: point that you would see Henderson on one side, Jones
27:18
Speaker 1: on the other, with Herndon possibly moving to the slot.
27:21
Speaker 1: That feels like it might be their three best corners
27:24
Speaker 1: right now. I love it, Peppy, the good old days
27:30
Speaker 1: of peppiness, and we all used to be in the
27:31
Speaker 1: studio together. I missed those days, all right, Sidney Jones,
27:35
Speaker 1: big things coming for him. Hopefully this Sunday against the lines,
27:38
