Speaker 1: Jeff Warris, did you don't check what Jack Morris? Did
0:03
Speaker 1: you know Jack Warris drive Time? Ryan Sex texted always
0:10
Speaker 1: says it actually see Jaguarris drive Time starts right now.
0:16
Speaker 1: But when you're going through something that we're going through
0:18
Speaker 1: and it's difficult with the young football team, I think
0:21
Speaker 1: it's it's very natural to, um have people that are
0:24
Speaker 1: gonna you know, I don't you know, not not place blame.
0:28
Speaker 1: Not that anyone's looking to say, hey it's this person's fault,
0:31
Speaker 1: but everyone's really trying to figure out, you know, hey,
0:34
Speaker 1: how can this team get better? But this one is
0:37
Speaker 1: is not you know, this is really all of us.
0:39
Speaker 1: You know that, you know, we all have to do
0:41
Speaker 1: a better job and we all have to dig ourselves
0:43
Speaker 1: out of this because, um, it's never it's never as
0:48
Speaker 1: easy as as what some people think it would be
0:50
Speaker 1: easy if it was you know, one thing, you know,
0:53
Speaker 1: you know, but it's not. We've got to do better
0:55
Speaker 1: at all of it. Everyone wants answer, We get that,
1:01
Speaker 1: and everyone wants someone to place the blame on why
1:03
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are one in five right now going into
1:07
Speaker 1: the season. Welcome to Jaguars Drive Time. On a Wednesday morning,
1:10
Speaker 1: he with Brian Sexton and John Osier. We'll talk much
1:13
Speaker 1: more about that dun Brown's press conference on Monday, and
1:17
Speaker 1: we'll look ahead to the Los Angeles Chargers game on Sunday,
1:21
Speaker 1: and I start off with John. I know you spoke
1:23
Speaker 1: to a Los Angeles Times writer who basically said, yes,
1:26
Speaker 1: the Chargers are one in four right now, but if
1:29
Speaker 1: a couple of different things swung their direction, they could
1:32
Speaker 1: be a three and two team, maybe even a four
1:34
Speaker 1: and one team. They're much better than their record indicates. Yeah,
1:40
Speaker 1: they are. And most pertinently for the Chargers, they seem
1:45
Speaker 1: and they certainly believe that they have found their quarterback
1:48
Speaker 1: in Rikie Justin Herbert uh Jeff Miller from the l
1:52
Speaker 1: A Times, who I spoke to, made a point several
1:54
Speaker 1: times to say, look, several times a game, this kid
1:58
Speaker 1: does things that make you go wow. He makes a
2:00
Speaker 1: lot of mistakes. He makes rookie mistakes. For the Jaguars,
2:03
Speaker 1: the key will be forcing him to do dumb rookie things,
2:07
Speaker 1: which rookies do. But for the most part, they found
2:09
Speaker 1: their guy. And why this is pertinent in this game
2:12
Speaker 1: is that a he's good and be the Chargers while
2:16
Speaker 1: one and four they believe that they're good, they believe
2:19
Speaker 1: they're going in the right direction. It makes them dangerous. Brian,
2:23
Speaker 1: you know when you look at the Chargers, I didn't.
2:27
Speaker 1: I didn't pay any attention to the standings. I just
2:29
Speaker 1: I haven't. I've seen them in passing. I've seen highlights
2:31
Speaker 1: of Justin Herbert. I was surprised this morning when I
2:35
Speaker 1: saw that they were one and four. And you know
2:38
Speaker 1: the teams that they've lost to the Chiefs, the Saints, um,
2:41
Speaker 1: you know, these are teams that will contend. They'll be
2:45
Speaker 1: there at the end. And we're talking about narrow losses
2:48
Speaker 1: to the Buccaneers just a touchdown. They they went and
2:51
Speaker 1: they competed with those teams, and I think the differences.
2:54
Speaker 1: None of us would expect the Jaguars to perform all
2:57
Speaker 1: that well against the Chiefs or the Saints or the
3:00
Speaker 1: Buccaneers right now. And yet with a rookie quarterback and
3:04
Speaker 1: a really good defense, you know these guys are are
3:08
Speaker 1: they're out there against them. That's the difference when you
3:11
Speaker 1: have your young quarterback. I think another difference is, yeah,
3:14
Speaker 1: they're one in four and as the writer you spoke
3:17
Speaker 1: to said, they could be three and two, where will
3:19
Speaker 1: they be at the end of the season. Their arrow
3:21
Speaker 1: is pointing up because of that young quarterback. Absolutely going
3:27
Speaker 1: to be a tough test for the Jaguars. Nonetheless, the
3:30
Speaker 1: Chargers have lost those four games by a touchdown or less,
3:33
Speaker 1: so they're competitive, they're in games. Will preview that game
3:36
Speaker 1: going into Sunday as we get into big things, and
3:38
Speaker 1: big thing one is one dimensional. This team has not
3:42
Speaker 1: run for a hundred yards and four consecutive losses an
3:45
Speaker 1: average just eighty nine yards and five straight games. You
3:49
Speaker 1: cannot win if you cannot run. So Doug Brown explains
3:52
Speaker 1: what is going on with this running game foot We
3:57
Speaker 1: didn't play well enough because you know, you you think
4:00
Speaker 1: about when you run the football. Everyone's talking about how
4:02
Speaker 1: great of a job the offensive line did, and when
4:04
Speaker 1: you don't run the football, then obviously you know the
4:06
Speaker 1: people that are involved in that are are are you know?
4:10
Speaker 1: Um didn't play as well and I think that's what
4:13
Speaker 1: happened yesterday. Those guys didn't play as well and Detroit
4:16
Speaker 1: got the better of us. Now on to defense, big
4:21
Speaker 1: thing too is rush and cover. The absence of Josh
4:25
Speaker 1: Allen has taken away any resemblance of a past rush
4:28
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks, they only have five sacks
4:30
Speaker 1: and six games. We're not even close to Matthew Stafford
4:34
Speaker 1: last week, he had all day to throw the ball.
4:36
Speaker 1: Someone has to win and get to the rookie quarterback
4:39
Speaker 1: this week? Could it possibly really possibly be a Levon Chason.
4:44
Speaker 1: I think when you know, when it hits, it's gonna
4:46
Speaker 1: hit pretty good, you know for him, meaning that when
4:48
Speaker 1: I switch kind of you know, goes off. But this
4:51
Speaker 1: is some of the things that go on when you
4:53
Speaker 1: know you have young players in that position. So, um,
4:56
Speaker 1: you know, we felt we'd get the most out of him, um,
4:59
Speaker 1: you know, being just in the defensive end, working on
5:01
Speaker 1: that and then gradually, you know, if if that role
5:04
Speaker 1: expands them to expand it. But we wanted to get
5:06
Speaker 1: that done first because that was a high priority for
5:09
Speaker 1: us to try to get a rush. And now we
5:13
Speaker 1: look ahead to the Chargers. Big thing three is justin Herbert.
5:17
Speaker 1: This rookie quarterback looks like a prime time player in
5:20
Speaker 1: the making, but he's still a rookie and like John
5:22
Speaker 1: said at the top of the show, he expected to
5:24
Speaker 1: make some mistakes. The question is can the Jaguars and
5:28
Speaker 1: make him make a mistake and if he does make
5:30
Speaker 1: that mistake and they capitalize and turn it into points.
5:34
Speaker 1: We have not seen that in the past two weeks.
5:36
Speaker 1: So let's go back up to big thing one, which
5:39
Speaker 1: is one dimensional, and Brian, I go back to a
5:42
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, we were saying the one thing
5:43
Speaker 1: that Jaguars had going for them was James Robinson, and
5:47
Speaker 1: now the past couple of weeks, even the running game
5:49
Speaker 1: really hasn't been there and done Row mentioned the offensive
5:51
Speaker 1: line definitely could have played better last Sunday. Well, we're
5:56
Speaker 1: getting down into the weeds now because this is another
5:58
Speaker 1: way of talking about what one of our big things
6:01
Speaker 1: last week was, which is you know, the ratio, how
6:04
Speaker 1: much run, how much pass um. You know they're going
6:07
Speaker 1: to have to use the past to set up the
6:09
Speaker 1: run clearly, because what teams are doing is saying, uh,
6:13
Speaker 1: number fifteen, you beat us. The Jaguars have got to
6:17
Speaker 1: figure out a way, whether it's swing passes. You know,
6:21
Speaker 1: when I'm talking play called because I have always said
6:24
Speaker 1: a good play is one that works in a bad
6:25
Speaker 1: play is one that doesn't. But with teams focused on
6:29
Speaker 1: stopping the run and making Gardner Minsho beat him, you've
6:33
Speaker 1: got to open it up. You've got to figure out
6:34
Speaker 1: what the right plays are to call early, to back
6:37
Speaker 1: a defense off enough so that you can run the ball.
6:40
Speaker 1: But the one dimensional nature is making Gardner mins Who's
6:44
Speaker 1: already difficult job, that much harder. They have got to
6:48
Speaker 1: find a way. I'm not saying they got to run
6:49
Speaker 1: the ball a certain number of times even but they've
6:52
Speaker 1: got to be able to line up on first down
6:54
Speaker 1: like they did on their first two first downs last week,
6:57
Speaker 1: and get positive yardage or yards some thing that sets
7:00
Speaker 1: up second and manageable third and short. They find themselves
7:05
Speaker 1: getting into these situations where Minshew's back on third down
7:08
Speaker 1: and twelve and they just pined their ears back and
7:11
Speaker 1: you can't expect any offensive line to hold off seven.
7:16
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. And John, I'll go to you
7:19
Speaker 1: for a big thing too and done. Rowan was optimistic
7:21
Speaker 1: on Monday that Josh Allen could come back from that
7:24
Speaker 1: knee injury and possibly play on Sunday. But it's to
7:27
Speaker 1: the point now that you wonder, okay, Josh Allen gets
7:29
Speaker 1: back in the lineup, he starts, will it make that
7:32
Speaker 1: much of a difference, Because even when Josh wasn't the game.
7:35
Speaker 1: They still didn't have the pass rush that they wanted
7:37
Speaker 1: this season. Yeah, and you hope it does. Josh Allen,
7:43
Speaker 1: remember in the first three or four games he was
7:46
Speaker 1: not what like fans expected, but he was getting pressure.
7:49
Speaker 1: There were times against the Colts he forced rivers into
7:52
Speaker 1: bad throws. Sacks are not the end all. He was
7:56
Speaker 1: getting pressure on the quarterback. He's still being out two games.
8:00
Speaker 1: Leads the team with seven quarterback hits, quarterback hurries whatever
8:04
Speaker 1: they are, So no doubt he will help. If nothing else,
8:09
Speaker 1: he does force teams to pay attention to him. Maybe
8:13
Speaker 1: that would free up Caleb and Chase on a little bit.
8:15
Speaker 1: Who I think this year, we can see he's going
8:17
Speaker 1: to be a three or four SAT guy. He's going
8:20
Speaker 1: to be better next year once he gets an offseason. Uh,
8:23
Speaker 1: you know. To answer your question, I kind of stammer
8:27
Speaker 1: on it every time that we talk about pass rush.
8:30
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's going to be major, major help.
8:34
Speaker 1: Usually when teams after six games have five sacks, that's
8:37
Speaker 1: what they are. They have to prove that wrong. Yes
8:42
Speaker 1: they do. When when finally touch on big thing three,
8:45
Speaker 1: which is justin Herbert and Brian, You look at this
8:47
Speaker 1: Chargers team. It's crazy, the storylines, the drama that happened
8:51
Speaker 1: with Tyrod Taylor. It's incredibly unfortunate. But I was reading
8:54
Speaker 1: about the Chargers and they were saying, you know, it
8:56
Speaker 1: would almost be stupid, even with Tyrod Taylor back health,
9:00
Speaker 1: to take a guy with a hot hand who is
9:02
Speaker 1: winning out of the lineup, despite him even being a rookie.
9:05
Speaker 1: It seems like Justin Herbert's in the lineup to stay.
9:10
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be almost stupid, it would be completely and
9:12
Speaker 1: entirely stupid. And in fact, I know Anthony, he was
9:14
Speaker 1: our running backs coach here in the first couple of
9:16
Speaker 1: years of the Jack del Rio era. Good football coach.
9:20
Speaker 1: Anybody who knows him would agree. Pardon me when he
9:24
Speaker 1: said that Tyrod Taylor was still his starter even after
9:28
Speaker 1: Justin made that start against Kansas City back in Week three,
9:31
Speaker 1: I laughed because I knew Anthony he couldn't have meant that.
9:37
Speaker 1: You don't take the sixth overall pen the future of
9:40
Speaker 1: the franchise, put him in and have him play as
9:41
Speaker 1: well as he did that day against Kansas City and
9:44
Speaker 1: say none of the other guy is going to come back.
9:46
Speaker 1: This has been Herbert's team since the last ten seconds
9:50
Speaker 1: before kickoff against Kansas City and hot hand. I mean,
9:55
Speaker 1: he's got all the measurables, six six, big arm, he's
9:59
Speaker 1: mobile enough. Um, he's courageous in the pocket. He just
10:03
Speaker 1: doesn't know what he doesn't know yet. But look at
10:05
Speaker 1: the weapons that he's got with Mike Williams and Hunter
10:07
Speaker 1: Henry and Keenan Allen. I know Austin Ekeler hasn't been playing,
10:11
Speaker 1: but when they get a running game that they can
10:13
Speaker 1: rely on consistently, mean, this guy is a star. He
10:17
Speaker 1: is a star. Um, I don't know, you know, I
10:20
Speaker 1: don't know what else to say, but it won't be long,
10:23
Speaker 1: I don't think before the best team that plays in
10:26
Speaker 1: Sophie Stadium is the team that rents it every other Sunday. Absolutely,
10:33
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are going to have to force that rookie
10:35
Speaker 1: to hopefully make rookie mistakes on Sunday as the Jaguars
10:39
Speaker 1: get ready to head to l A on Saturday to
10:41
Speaker 1: take on the Chargers. And we come back some ashl

Speaker 1: was pretty cool. It was cool Joe Schobert miked up
13:40
Speaker 1: against the Detroit Lions and check out the full version
13:43
Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot com. We're back Jaguars drivetime Wednesday morning,
13:48
Speaker 1: and it's time for some Ashland ask at the white boards, ready,
13:52
Speaker 1: and we're doing a little perfect world scenario here. For
13:55
Speaker 1: the first Ashland asked, if you could add one veteran,
13:58
Speaker 1: one veteran presence to a group right now, what would
14:01
Speaker 1: that group be to be defensive line? I know Brian
14:06
Speaker 1: want to say quarterback, because a few weeks ago we
14:08
Speaker 1: asked if you could add a player, he would say
14:10
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. No, Obviously, that's a very very perfect world
14:14
Speaker 1: that does not exist in this So if you could
14:17
Speaker 1: add a veteran presence somewhere on the team, where would
14:21
Speaker 1: it be? And why? All right? Who's ready? Brian? Did?
14:31
Speaker 1: I'm ready? Safety? I could have said anywhere in the
14:35
Speaker 1: defensive backfield. That whole group is so young, especially with
14:38
Speaker 1: d J. Hayden on the sidelines right now. But you know,
14:42
Speaker 1: I mean Jared Wilson is a young guy. Uh that
14:45
Speaker 1: Daniel Thomas. I mean name him. I mean there a
14:49
Speaker 1: veteran presence at that position I think would help stabilize
14:53
Speaker 1: and help guys be in the right spot, especially with
14:55
Speaker 1: the lack of a pass rush. Um. I don't know
14:59
Speaker 1: who that might be, but and I don't know that
15:02
Speaker 1: it makes any difference at this point of the season. Um,
15:05
Speaker 1: you know, you might as well play with the guys
15:06
Speaker 1: who were there. To go find somebody to come in
15:09
Speaker 1: and expect them to do something is probably reach. But
15:12
Speaker 1: I think safety is a place where calming veteran presence
15:15
Speaker 1: would make a difference. Not agree more, John Ouzier, who
15:20
Speaker 1: do you have? Well, I went with defensive tackle, and
15:25
Speaker 1: I was gonna pick safety, But I actually think Jared
15:27
Speaker 1: Wilson does a nice job with the veteran present stuff.
15:31
Speaker 1: I think he helps them when he's in there. I
15:33
Speaker 1: don't know that he's above the XS and OSE guy,
15:35
Speaker 1: but I'm okay with him. I think they'll try to
15:38
Speaker 1: upgrade everywhere back there next year. But defensive tackle veteran present,
15:43
Speaker 1: better present, whatever Christmas present. Just give me something. A
15:47
Speaker 1: defensive tackle that can stop the run can have some stoutness. Uh.
15:55
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a leadership we're talking about,
15:57
Speaker 1: but the problems on defense all start with defensive tackle.
16:01
Speaker 1: Teams can run up the middle. You're not getting any
16:03
Speaker 1: pressure up the middle, So therefore the edge guys, give
16:07
Speaker 1: me some sort of birthday present. Slen at defensive tackle.
16:13
Speaker 1: All right, I'll let Dave Cobb. I'll know that your
16:14
Speaker 1: birthday is approaching and we need to address that. I'm
16:16
Speaker 1: going defensive end. I know it's a sore subject, but
16:19
Speaker 1: I think you need more options there. Josh, Allen, Caleb,
16:22
Speaker 1: and Chason would not hurt to have another body that
16:25
Speaker 1: is productive in that position already. Ash last number two,
16:29
Speaker 1: what did you predict the record would be at this
16:32
Speaker 1: point when we were in training camp or we a
16:36
Speaker 1: week before the bye. We're in training camp, it's positive, Affey,
16:42
Speaker 1: We're at home, but we go to the field and
16:44
Speaker 1: we swept for three hours. We saw something, so at
16:48
Speaker 1: that point, it's I think our record would be at
16:53
Speaker 1: this times A chicken and variant. Yeah, I had him
17:13
Speaker 1: beating me. I didn't have him beating the coltson Opening Day.
17:16
Speaker 1: I had them beating the Dolphins on Thursday Night Football
17:20
Speaker 1: and the Bengals. And it hasn't turned out. My expectations
17:28
Speaker 1: for this season were low to begin with. I think
17:30
Speaker 1: a lot of people's were I liked a lot. I
17:33
Speaker 1: thought the first six games were where they would make hay,
17:37
Speaker 1: we'll see what comes from there. But I thought two
17:39
Speaker 1: and four and if I got lucky and they want
17:43
Speaker 1: another one, three and three was the high water mark already,
17:48
Speaker 1: John Osier, what do you get? Yeah, this this terrifies
17:53
Speaker 1: me because Brian and I are on the same page
17:56
Speaker 1: three and three, and three and three was a hope
18:00
Speaker 1: and two and four was what I figured. How was it, Brian?
18:03
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, we thought they'd beat the cold.
18:05
Speaker 1: I thought somewhere you might get Lions, you know in
18:09
Speaker 1: this last five you you know, and I know, and
18:12
Speaker 1: the Texans would start off struggle and I might have
18:14
Speaker 1: picked that, But I thought maybe three and three high
18:17
Speaker 1: water mark in two and four and you know, now
18:20
Speaker 1: I guess what she land and the schedule get tough now,
18:23
Speaker 1: so buckle up. Indeed it eight and three as well
18:28
Speaker 1: being the Dolphins, Bengals and Lions that it did not
18:33
Speaker 1: plan at least all right, fellas last Wednesday show before
18:39
Speaker 1: they only have a Monday show. By me, what are
18:43
Speaker 1: you going to do on your by me any vacations. Brian,
18:50
Speaker 1: are you going to the mountains? John? Are you mowing
18:53
Speaker 1: your grass? Because I'm assuming what your answer is going
18:56
Speaker 1: to be doing adult man things. As you like to say,
19:04
Speaker 1: what are you going to do a week? Because it's
19:06
Speaker 1: sext week? Will change? Oh wait, question Mark Bryant. Well,
19:19
Speaker 1: I mean we we're working from home's been home for
19:23
Speaker 1: seven months. There's nothing to paint, everything's clean. Um, you know,
19:28
Speaker 1: kids have football, high school football still, so can't leave town. Um,
19:33
Speaker 1: there's no scout trips next week. I don't know. I
19:38
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm going to do. Well, I hope
19:42
Speaker 1: you get a few. If that's the case, John, Well Schlan,
19:49
Speaker 1: as you mentioned it, I will be doing manly things.
19:52
Speaker 1: I'll probably I'll probably trim the beard, uh the beard,
19:57
Speaker 1: and then do some chores around the house. Yeah, manly, manly, manly.
20:04
Speaker 1: You two are an exciting bunch. But I'm not much
20:07
Speaker 1: more exciting either. I said sleep because I have. Now
20:10
Speaker 1: I'm on my third cup of coffee this morning, and
20:12
Speaker 1: that's extremely unhealthy. So I'm going to take lots of
20:15

22:53
Speaker 1: and we're going to Pittsburgh. Hey John, what's up? Are
22:57
Speaker 1: the Jags going to play some other rookies so they
22:59
Speaker 1: can get some experience? Well, this is sort of the
23:06
Speaker 1: annual question when you are one in whatever going into
23:10
Speaker 1: October November. It's it's harder than just doing that for
23:15
Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. First of all, a lot of
23:18
Speaker 1: the rookies that you would want to see your playing.
23:20
Speaker 1: Second of all, you don't want to overload with rookies
23:24
Speaker 1: because if you overload with rookies when guys aren't ready
23:27
Speaker 1: to play, it hurts everybody so much that you can't
23:31
Speaker 1: get the evaluation right. Ben Barte, for example, on on Sunday,
23:36
Speaker 1: struggle a little bit because he wasn't quite ready to
23:39
Speaker 1: be in there. So as a result, the offensive line
23:42
Speaker 1: did not play as well as it could have. You
23:45
Speaker 1: get sort of a self fulfilling prophecy when you play
23:47
Speaker 1: too many rookies. So I think as time goes on
23:50
Speaker 1: you'll see some, but usually Brian, that happens without teams trying.
23:57
Speaker 1: You get injured. In the NFL, young players on rosters
24:00
Speaker 1: usually wind up playing well. There's only a couple of
24:05
Speaker 1: guys who really haven't played. One is the quarterback Jake Lewton,
24:08
Speaker 1: and that's an entirely different conversation. We haven't seen Josiah Scott,
24:12
Speaker 1: the young nickelback, the kid from Michigan State, So maybe
24:15
Speaker 1: we see him. Maybe Shakille Quarterman gets into the game.
24:19
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I mean, that's how you tank for
24:21
Speaker 1: Trevor as you just throw all the rookies in and
24:23
Speaker 1: you give yourself no chance to go and compete. And
24:26
Speaker 1: I think we just mentioned you've got the Packers, Steelers, Browns, Vikings, Titans, folts. Um,
24:34
Speaker 1: you're you're not going to give yourself a chance to
24:36
Speaker 1: compete and win any of those games if you just
24:39
Speaker 1: wholesale through the entire rookie class out there, Um, by
24:42
Speaker 1: virtue of a long season, it's still a long season.
24:46
Speaker 1: There's ten games left. You're gonna end up seeing a
24:48
Speaker 1: lot of these guys by attrition. Injuries will open opportunities
24:52
Speaker 1: for them. You're going to see him before the season
24:54
Speaker 1: is out. But I mean unless your wholesale tanking, Uh,
24:58
Speaker 1: you're not just gonna open the gates and rookies off
25:00
Speaker 1: the sidelines. Not quite yet. Ten games left, My goodness,
25:07
Speaker 1: let's go to Alabama. Mark, what do you got for us?
25:11
Speaker 1: Offensive line was so supposed to be our strength this season? John,
25:15
Speaker 1: what happened? Well, it's uh, nothing happened. It has been
25:23
Speaker 1: the strain. What happens is there's been a lot of
25:27
Speaker 1: secks given up, and that is more on Minshee than
25:32
Speaker 1: it is the offensive line. I believe. Also the other day,
25:36
Speaker 1: everybody's on the offensive line about the lack of running game.
25:38
Speaker 1: The lack of running game the other day was not
25:40
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. Brian alluded to it in his
25:43
Speaker 1: Top Thing with Big Thing Black. Running game is because
25:47
Speaker 1: Minshew is not throwing the ball down field. The Lions
25:50
Speaker 1: were playing bare defense, which is eight in the box
25:53
Speaker 1: to bring another safety up. No offensive line, the seven
25:56
Speaker 1: blocks of granite wouldn't be running against that sort of front.
26:00
Speaker 1: The offensive line is fine, The quarterback has to play better,
26:04
Speaker 1: that's my thing. You're so right, John. So many of
26:08
Speaker 1: Minshew's completions are short, which allows that bare defense to
26:13
Speaker 1: be even more effective against them. Hey, look, if you
26:17
Speaker 1: look at the sacks and the pressures that the offensive
26:19
Speaker 1: line is given up, and I don't I haven't done this,
26:21
Speaker 1: but I would. I would wager with you that the
26:24
Speaker 1: predominant number of those were in the fourth quarter, when
26:27
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are behind and Gardner's on his way to
26:30
Speaker 1: throwing the ball forty times or more. You can't ask
26:33
Speaker 1: any offensive line to hold up and hold the pocket
26:36
Speaker 1: firm when you're in that situation. I think the offensive
26:39
Speaker 1: line has been a strength. I shudder to think of
26:42
Speaker 1: what it would look like if the offensive line had
26:45
Speaker 1: been an utter weakness. I mean, it's whoa that would
26:48
Speaker 1: look really bad. The offensive line gave him a chance
26:51
Speaker 1: to be in some ball games. They provided good protection
26:54
Speaker 1: when they were balanced, and that's all you can ask.
26:59
Speaker 1: That would be pretty say the least at the offensive
27:02
Speaker 1: line was not a strength this season. And that is
27:04
Speaker 1: our zone snapshot. And we come back some closing thoughts
27:07
