- 0:01Speaker 1: Jeff Wars, Did you don't Jack, Jack Warris, did you
- 0:03Speaker 1: go Jaguars Drive Time? Ryan sex sext? John, Actually, Jaguars
- 0:13Speaker 1: Drive Time starts right now. You know, for us, we
- 0:18Speaker 1: just we just gotta do a better job. I mean
- 0:20Speaker 1: that's all I can say. I mean, we got a
- 0:21Speaker 1: coach better, We gotta play better, we gotta execute better,
- 0:23Speaker 1: we gotta make better decisions. Um, it's not just one guy,
- 0:26Speaker 1: it's not just one group. Um. You know, the team
- 0:30Speaker 1: effort and it's loss today. That was Jaguar's head coach
- 0:35Speaker 1: done Moron recapping a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs
- 0:38Speaker 1: at Arrowhead Stadium thirty to fourteen. The final score, inefficient offense,
- 0:43Speaker 1: defense that we still think is very good, and injuries.
- 0:46Speaker 1: We have a lot to talk about today, Recapping a
- 0:49Speaker 1: game that most of us would like to forget. Uh.
- 0:52Speaker 1: You know, I flew home commercial last night and they
- 0:53Speaker 1: were a lot of Jaguars fans. They didn't let me
- 0:55Speaker 1: forget it, right, I mean, they shot, they wanted to talk.
- 0:58Speaker 1: And the more that I talked John, the more I
- 1:00Speaker 1: came to a conclusion that they all seem to agree with.
- 1:03Speaker 1: And that is, at least offensively Right now, this team
- 1:06Speaker 1: isn't what it thought it was going to be coming
- 1:09Speaker 1: out of training camp. And I'm not talking in terms
- 1:11Speaker 1: of production, but you've got your entire offensive line is injured.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Parnell can Lender norwell that they are all playing with
- 1:18Speaker 1: various injuries. You might be on your third offensive tackle
- 1:21Speaker 1: this week, depending on Josh Wells, and you don't have
- 1:24Speaker 1: Leonard for that. This team was built to run and
- 1:27Speaker 1: was going to work off the run, and all of
- 1:29Speaker 1: a sudden you don't have what you thought you could
- 1:31Speaker 1: count on, and so they're having to scramble. And if
- 1:34Speaker 1: you have to scramble and throw sixty one times, man,
- 1:36Speaker 1: that ain't the way they played either. And I think
- 1:38Speaker 1: the numbers was seventy dropbacks, which is probably maybe not
- 1:44Speaker 1: double what this team wants to do, but it's I
- 1:47Speaker 1: think it's well, I mean, not thirty five passes you're
- 1:50Speaker 1: gonna throwing a game, but it's very close to double
- 1:53Speaker 1: what the team wants to do. And you know, there's
- 1:56Speaker 1: so much to analyze. Ashland said at the top, it
- 1:58Speaker 1: was Doug marrone Reek happening. If those few words completely
- 2:03Speaker 1: recap the laws would be great, but there's so much
- 2:05Speaker 1: to get into Um, you can't if you're the Jaguars
- 2:12Speaker 1: be in a situation where you're playing offense that way,
- 2:16Speaker 1: and it all goes back to it doesn't feel like
- 2:20Speaker 1: they have the personnel in the backfield right now. Two
- 2:25Speaker 1: run the offense that they want to run, and Uh,
- 2:29Speaker 1: Nate Hackett will be criticized, probably correctly so in some
- 2:33Speaker 1: cases for passing so much. But I got the feeling
- 2:37Speaker 1: and then I have a chance to talk to Nate
- 2:39Speaker 1: once Corey Grant went out of the game. Yes, they
- 2:42Speaker 1: were running effectively, but it got to the point where
- 2:44Speaker 1: you only had two guys to hand the ball to. UH,
- 2:47Speaker 1: and I'm sure part of it was t J. Yeldon's
- 2:50Speaker 1: running on a bad wheel, a bad ankle. So there's
- 2:54Speaker 1: got to be a thought in the mind when you're
- 2:56Speaker 1: trying to game plan for what the last three quarters
- 2:58Speaker 1: of the game, how much realistically can I turn the
- 3:01Speaker 1: ball and handed these running backs when I've also got
- 3:04Speaker 1: to throw to them begs The bigger question do you
- 3:08Speaker 1: have only three running backs active for the game and
- 3:11Speaker 1: do you have the right guys in the backfield. I
- 3:14Speaker 1: expect moves this week without a doubt, and obviously one
- 3:16Speaker 1: of the big questions will be where's Leonard? You know? Yeah?
- 3:20Speaker 1: Is this a week that he might be able to go?
- 3:22Speaker 1: And we'll hear from Doug Moron this afternoon. I'm sure
- 3:26Speaker 1: that'll be a topic of conversation. I'd be shocked if
- 3:27Speaker 1: he's ready to go this week. I mean, I'm not
- 3:29Speaker 1: thinking he's back till after the bye, so I mean
- 3:32Speaker 1: I'm not hearing that. But which means you have to
- 3:34Speaker 1: do something. I mean, are you expecting to play this week?
- 3:37Speaker 1: I'm expect from what I understand, the plan is not
- 3:41Speaker 1: to shut him down for that. The plan is to
- 3:43Speaker 1: get him on the field when he's ready to go. Yeah.
- 3:46Speaker 1: And and this just feels like a year long thing
- 3:49Speaker 1: well and down right, which means it can be weak
- 3:52Speaker 1: to week, which means that he could practice this week
- 3:54Speaker 1: and be ready to go. Uh. But in talking more
- 3:57Speaker 1: to Dr Kaplan and some other people just about the
- 3:59Speaker 1: hamstring injury, read and that is is it takes months
- 4:03Speaker 1: on an m R I to see in a hamstring injury,
- 4:06Speaker 1: to see to physically see the healing process that takes time.
- 4:10Speaker 1: It's a it's a dense muscle. So they're going off
- 4:12Speaker 1: of feel. How does Leonard feel? How does he respond
- 4:15Speaker 1: to it um and and that it can be week
- 4:18Speaker 1: to week. It can be a good week and could
- 4:19Speaker 1: be a bad week. And so I'm not ruling about
- 4:22Speaker 1: and and I don't understand in talking to people around here,
- 4:25Speaker 1: it's there's not a shut him down plan. It's to
- 4:28Speaker 1: see how he is week to week. So that question
- 4:30Speaker 1: is not going away. It'll have to be a conversation
- 4:32Speaker 1: we have week to week whether he's gonna play, there's
- 4:34Speaker 1: no doubt, all right, big thing one is the second
- 4:36Speaker 1: quarter from passing on a third down and fourth down
- 4:39Speaker 1: when you drove the ball all the way down the
- 4:41Speaker 1: field with running, two turnovers and interceptions. Janalen Ramsey gives
- 4:44Speaker 1: us his thoughts on the loss. Overall, we're try not
- 4:49Speaker 1: to give up any points and we um, you know,
- 4:51Speaker 1: we let them give up points defense when when's games
- 4:53Speaker 1: and defense wins championships. So we're not gonna be too
- 4:57Speaker 1: happy about giving up even three points their team points.
- 4:59Speaker 1: So yeah, I gotta go home and you know, watch
- 5:01Speaker 1: the film. We have to watch the film as a
- 5:03Speaker 1: defense and figure out what we went wrong. But you know,
- 5:08Speaker 1: we're frustrated. But sometimes things aren't as bad as they say,
- 5:10Speaker 1: and they're not always as good as they say as well.
- 5:14Speaker 1: So you're down um tend nothing in the second quarter,
- 5:18Speaker 1: but you drive down the field and you feel like
- 5:21Speaker 1: you have a shot. You have third, third and one
- 5:26Speaker 1: from what the four? And you get nothing? Third and two?
- 5:31Speaker 1: I think, um, third and two, yes, let me just
- 5:35Speaker 1: double check here. I was standing right there on the
- 5:38Speaker 1: corner looking at it, and it didn't seem like it
- 5:40Speaker 1: was a full two yard so I may just be yeah,
- 5:43Speaker 1: there's actually one. It's just here, third and one from
- 5:45Speaker 1: the Kent City three. So I think the ball was
- 5:48Speaker 1: between the four and the five, which is why you're
- 5:50Speaker 1: saying it. So it was third in less than two. Um,
- 5:53Speaker 1: you come away with no points and I remember thinking,
- 5:55Speaker 1: you know, oh, and then they go start marching down
- 5:58Speaker 1: the field and you have two Shawn's interception and then
- 6:01Speaker 1: you have the strip sact the Ford got n Blake
- 6:04Speaker 1: and they get the field goal, and now you're down thirteen.
- 6:07Speaker 1: And then the very next play you come back and
- 6:09Speaker 1: there's the pick six. I mean before it was just
- 6:11Speaker 1: an avalanche all of a sudden. The second quarters were
- 6:14Speaker 1: the game turned well with a defense like this. You
- 6:19Speaker 1: you know, I thought, first of all, the third and
- 6:24Speaker 1: two and the third and one whatever it was. There
- 6:26Speaker 1: was a question why are you throwing there? Well, Doug
- 6:29Speaker 1: Brown answered the question and it was a legitimate answer.
- 6:32Speaker 1: You know, the Chiefs had cover zero and they blitzed,
- 6:37Speaker 1: So if you're running there, you're running into an all
- 6:41Speaker 1: out blitz, which your better play, percentage wise for a
- 6:45Speaker 1: touchdown is indeed to throw the back shoulder. Um, do
- 6:50Speaker 1: you feel like you're dominating running on that drive because
- 6:54Speaker 1: you're overpowering them. They they had seventy two yards of
- 6:58Speaker 1: offense on that draw. Fifty of it came from the
- 7:00Speaker 1: ground game, which which is what makes it a I
- 7:02Speaker 1: would have run legitimate argument, right, I would have run
- 7:06Speaker 1: two in that situation. I watched the game this morning.
- 7:10Speaker 1: A lot of their running yards on that were they
- 7:13Speaker 1: weren't lining up and blowing the Chiefs off the ball.
- 7:16Speaker 1: They were they were scheming the run. My only thing,
- 7:20Speaker 1: you know, and I'm trying to explain it. My only
- 7:21Speaker 1: thought is they must have been thinking, we're scheming it.
- 7:25Speaker 1: We're not blowing him off the ball. Are scheme calls
- 7:27Speaker 1: for us to pass the time? That's the argument for
- 7:30Speaker 1: So now I'm standing in that corner of the end
- 7:31Speaker 1: zone and the throw to mon Creef wasn't horrible. He
- 7:35Speaker 1: could have caught the ball, and Austin Seferian Jenkins should
- 7:39Speaker 1: have caught the ball. So so I get that. Here's
- 7:41Speaker 1: here's my only argument with it. And I am a
- 7:44Speaker 1: good place work bad place, don't. I don't want to
- 7:46Speaker 1: micro manage that. I'm sitting here. I would have run.
- 7:49Speaker 1: But I'm saying this is the reason that they went
- 7:51Speaker 1: after the past if you could, because I thought you
- 7:53Speaker 1: could take the points. You're on the road. But the
- 7:56Speaker 1: argument is, well, they know that the field goals are
- 7:58Speaker 1: not gonna win. You need touchdowns against homes, and they're
- 8:00Speaker 1: moving the ball, although the defense to that point now
- 8:03Speaker 1: had figured him out a little bit and just holding
- 8:05Speaker 1: them to field goals. Right, Okay, So my thought is
- 8:09Speaker 1: on this one is that you even if if you
- 8:12Speaker 1: decide your going for it on fourth down, no matter what,
- 8:14Speaker 1: we'll run one of the two players. Sure run one.
- 8:17Speaker 1: That's it. Um. The other argument for going for it
- 8:20Speaker 1: no matter what in that situation philosophically, when you have
- 8:26Speaker 1: a defense like this, Um, you were built and you
- 8:30Speaker 1: game plan all offseason, how are we going to play
- 8:32Speaker 1: football games? Well, we're gonna play believing that our defense
- 8:36Speaker 1: is number one in the league and wins this game.
- 8:39Speaker 1: So your third and three third, I mean, if you
- 8:42Speaker 1: got dependance at the five yard line, you're on the four.
- 8:45Speaker 1: So there is a school of thought that if we
- 8:48Speaker 1: don't get it, we should hold without a doubt short
- 8:52Speaker 1: punt and you're still at the fifty. So it's not
- 8:56Speaker 1: but they let him out. And that's the other part
- 8:59Speaker 1: of the first to have. As much as the defense
- 9:03Speaker 1: was not horrible yesterday, considering he was a Kansas City Chiefs,
- 9:07Speaker 1: but it seemed like every third down, every third and seven,
- 9:14Speaker 1: the Jaguars couldn't get off the field in big situations enough.
- 9:18Speaker 1: And that's where it felt like they were getting as drugged.
- 9:23Speaker 1: Whatever it was, was it or Telvin? We didn't all right,
- 9:29Speaker 1: So just an observation. Everyone's impressed with the arm strength,
- 9:33Speaker 1: you know, because of the home's ability to just drive
- 9:36Speaker 1: the deep ball, which was seemingly a flick of the wrist.
- 9:39Speaker 1: But I was standing in one of the end zones
- 9:40Speaker 1: early in the ball game, first quarter, and the thing
- 9:43Speaker 1: that was really impressive was how he was able to
- 9:45Speaker 1: hold the ball and hold the ball and extend to
- 9:47Speaker 1: play simply by not throwing the ball because at the
- 9:50Speaker 1: last minute he can deliver the ball on a dime.
- 9:52Speaker 1: He did that three or four times out in the
- 9:53Speaker 1: flat to a full back, to a tight end, uh
- 9:55Speaker 1: to Sammy Watkins, where it looked like Malik or Dante
- 9:59Speaker 1: was going to get their unique in in a couple
- 10:02Speaker 1: of situations. And he's so confident in his arm, and
- 10:05Speaker 1: his receivers are so confident that they get to the
- 10:07Speaker 1: spot and extend to play. That's his great strength, not
- 10:11Speaker 1: the deep ball. There are lots of guys who can
- 10:13Speaker 1: deliver the deep ball. His ability to hold the ball
- 10:15Speaker 1: for an extra second and extend the place simply by
- 10:17Speaker 1: waiting because he knows he can deliver the ball in
- 10:20Speaker 1: the spot was what converted on third down. I'm not
- 10:23Speaker 1: always a big believer that, uh, every game and every
- 10:28Speaker 1: situation in this league is defined by coaching. But Andy
- 10:31Speaker 1: Reid's done a great job with that scheme and playing
- 10:34Speaker 1: to that kid's strength. Well, and we're gonna get to
- 10:37Speaker 1: a little bit later in ozone. But that first drive, um,
- 10:40Speaker 1: which is really the first time anyone had driven on
- 10:43Speaker 1: this team, definitely the first time someone had driven on
- 10:46Speaker 1: their opening drive this season, and it hasn't happened a
- 10:48Speaker 1: lot since the started two seventeen. Um, the scheme, the
- 10:52Speaker 1: plays that he ran, the way that he set things
- 10:54Speaker 1: up with that first play with Tyreek Hill. Um, when
- 10:57Speaker 1: you're coaching against Andy Reid, you're in a long day
- 11:00Speaker 1: and he's going to make you work and think the
- 11:03Speaker 1: entire game, and there's always crucial you know, if these
- 11:05Speaker 1: teams will play again, I'm not convinced that that the
- 11:09Speaker 1: game would go the same way. I cilan Jaguars would
- 11:11Speaker 1: have a very good chance to win because the NFL
- 11:15Speaker 1: is such a situational game and there were so many
- 11:17Speaker 1: situations earlier. I think they converted three of their first
- 11:21Speaker 1: three first downs, I mean three of their first three
- 11:24Speaker 1: third downs. Um, there were opportunities for the Jaguars to
- 11:28Speaker 1: go up the field, and I'm sure the coaches and
- 11:30Speaker 1: the players gonna be looking at this today thinking early drive,
- 11:34Speaker 1: third and six, you're facing, all of a sudden your
- 11:37Speaker 1: third and one because Malik jumps offside at third and one,
- 11:41Speaker 1: they hit a fifteen sixteen yard passed two. I think
- 11:45Speaker 1: it was Kelsey over Telvin. Smith's completely different play if
- 11:49Speaker 1: it's third and six, because Telvin's not playing the run.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Those are the situations where Doug talks about penalties. Maybe
- 11:55Speaker 1: it doesn't show up in the stats and analytics that
- 11:57Speaker 1: it kills you, but it killed them situationally at times. Yesterday, alright,
- 12:01Speaker 1: big thing too is four hundred plus four. So bordles
- 12:04Speaker 1: through for four thirty yards. Just stay, but also had
- 12:07Speaker 1: four interceptions. At times made spectacular throws and wide receivers,
- 12:10Speaker 1: made great plays. And then he had the turnovers where
- 12:12Speaker 1: he went, oh god, so we're back talking about his
- 12:15Speaker 1: inconsistency and he was going to say that I didn't
- 12:17Speaker 1: play well enough. Yeah, we gotta find a way to
- 12:20Speaker 1: get going early. Uh. We gotta find a way to
- 12:22Speaker 1: make plays early, sustained drives uh and get a role
- 12:25Speaker 1: and it's almost you know, it felt like we waited
- 12:27Speaker 1: until we were down and in a bad place, until
- 12:29Speaker 1: we decided we wanted to play. Uh, and that can't happen.
- 12:32Speaker 1: We gotta start from from the beginning, from the first snap, um,
- 12:36Speaker 1: you know, playing it, playing as hard as we can play,
- 12:37Speaker 1: doing everything we can do uh to be successful score points. Um.
- 12:41Speaker 1: Early on, maybe it was the weather. It didn't feel
- 12:44Speaker 1: like you know, bad blake. Uh. That play in particular
- 12:48Speaker 1: made it feel like, you know, bad blake, even though
- 12:52Speaker 1: at that point the game is it's twenty to nothing there.
- 12:56Speaker 1: It's twenty nothing, though, but if you make it twenty
- 12:59Speaker 1: seven there, you know they gotta get that touchdown. It's
- 13:04Speaker 1: different in this day and age. Twenty and nothing is
- 13:08Speaker 1: a different score in twenty and nothing was twenty years ago,
- 13:13Speaker 1: and so h that play mattered. You know, it didn't
- 13:18Speaker 1: feel like awful blake until it started getting out of
- 13:23Speaker 1: hand a little bit. Um the screen pass, I don't
- 13:26Speaker 1: know what that was that was, But this play here
- 13:33Speaker 1: I thought was really the key in the game, the
- 13:36Speaker 1: strip sack fumble where it was ten nothing. At that point,
- 13:42Speaker 1: the defense felt like it had its feet under it.
- 13:44Speaker 1: At last. It was getting the Chiefs out of the field.
- 13:46Speaker 1: I wasn't concerned about the early blitz creeg whatever you
- 13:49Speaker 1: called by the Chiefs. That kind of thing happens, and
- 13:52Speaker 1: then the reason you have a great defense is because
- 13:55Speaker 1: you hope you can stop that, you can stay in
- 13:57Speaker 1: the game. They did. They got the pick and there
- 13:59Speaker 1: at the forty one yard line going in and all
- 14:02Speaker 1: of a sudden, you give it right back. And that
- 14:05Speaker 1: to me was in a normal NFL game in the
- 14:09Speaker 1: way this league set up right now, Evan flow, Evan
- 14:12Speaker 1: flows that you're going back and and you're ten seven.
- 14:14Speaker 1: This is a ballgame. When you lose that Evan flow
- 14:17Speaker 1: and and you give the turnover right back, then you're
- 14:20Speaker 1: playing with the football guys, and it's going the other way.
- 14:22Speaker 1: And and I don't know that there's any reason to
- 14:24Speaker 1: just keep going on the Blake thing here. It is
- 14:26Speaker 1: what it is at this point, and we'll talk about
- 14:28Speaker 1: it a lot. So let's change the defense just in
- 14:30Speaker 1: that in that vein um, the numbers say it looks bad,
- 14:37Speaker 1: right and and and and the defenders in the locker
- 14:39Speaker 1: room afterwards, we're talking about how they didn't perform as
- 14:41Speaker 1: well as they thought they were going to and they
- 14:43Speaker 1: had talked all week, and they shouldn't be talking all week.
- 14:46Speaker 1: But you know, midway through the third quarter, in fact,
- 14:48Speaker 1: through the entire third quarter, they'd only allowed sixteen points
- 14:51Speaker 1: to an offense that scoring thirty six. So they were
- 14:54Speaker 1: twenty points under their average with fifteen minutes to play.
- 14:57Speaker 1: Now they scored on the first play of the fourth quarter.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Kind of extend that one. But if we had said, look,
- 15:03Speaker 1: the defense is going to hold them to twenty three points.
- 15:06Speaker 1: Do you win? Yeah, because you felt like this offense
- 15:10Speaker 1: against that defense would be able to get things done.
- 15:12Speaker 1: The defense wasn't shut down like like we thought they
- 15:15Speaker 1: were going to be, but they weren't as bad as
- 15:18Speaker 1: the numbers. Look, it wasn't up to their standard, but
- 15:23Speaker 1: it was good enough to win. The circumstance sometimes dictates
- 15:27Speaker 1: that it's not up to your standard. And but that
- 15:30Speaker 1: I mean you got to well, you got two picks.
- 15:36Speaker 1: You also kept them out of the end zone. In
- 15:39Speaker 1: situations where had the offense been scoring at even a
- 15:45Speaker 1: pace of say, you know, seven points at three points,
- 15:49Speaker 1: seven points in the first quarter and three points in
- 15:51Speaker 1: the second quarter, which is not ridiculous to ask if
- 15:54Speaker 1: they were down and they had opportunities. If the offense
- 15:57Speaker 1: takes advantage of its opportunities, it doesn't turn the ball
- 15:59Speaker 1: over the defense's effort. That to Sean Gibson, play should
- 16:06Speaker 1: have been. When we're talking about much like the Miles
- 16:08Speaker 1: Jack interception, It's Pittsburgh last year right where I talked
- 16:11Speaker 1: all last week about the defense needed to break served well.
- 16:16Speaker 1: A great offensive leagues in this league is going to score.
- 16:19Speaker 1: What your great defense has to do is give your
- 16:21Speaker 1: offense enough opportunities to get ahead had the offense played better.
- 16:28Speaker 1: I think the defense's numbers are closer to that three
- 16:30Speaker 1: yard range in the four hundred yard range. I just did.
- 16:33Speaker 1: I totally agree with going back to Blake. I was
- 16:35Speaker 1: talking to someone on the sideline and when the fourth
- 16:37Speaker 1: quarter of the rushing touchdown, they were saying, no, I
- 16:39Speaker 1: only see fire in his eyes. The will to win
- 16:42Speaker 1: I thought was impressive. And there were times that he
- 16:43Speaker 1: made good throws, but they were saying on offense, you know,
- 16:46Speaker 1: he was one of the few that still had that
- 16:48Speaker 1: will to win in the drive in his eyes. Well,
- 16:50Speaker 1: and there were a couple of rag tag throws that
- 16:52Speaker 1: hit the ground and bounced, and again the fourth quarter,
- 16:55Speaker 1: maybe frustration is factory into that that. By the way,
- 16:57Speaker 1: I was standing in the end zone on that right
- 16:59Speaker 1: in front of it. That throw was picture perfectly. Only
- 17:03Speaker 1: t J could get it. He adjusted to get it. Uh.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Blake had some moments yesterday. Um, but as we know,
- 17:11Speaker 1: three three really critical turnovers that you placed on him.
- 17:14Speaker 1: I don't think you put the strip sack on him.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Although getting rid of the ball against anyone is a key. Yeah,
- 17:20Speaker 1: there is an element to sort of where he holds
- 17:23Speaker 1: the ball. Sometimes that that does lead to that, and
- 17:26Speaker 1: you don't have the ball with one hand. I didn't
- 17:28Speaker 1: look to see if he was holding the ball with
- 17:29Speaker 1: one hand on that place. Look at it too, But
- 17:32Speaker 1: those three picks two have been the red zone. The
- 17:37Speaker 1: the screen pass that gets returned for the touchdown is
- 17:41Speaker 1: an absolute killer at that point. Um, you know, he
- 17:45Speaker 1: knows he just can't do it. And the reality is
- 17:50Speaker 1: he's not a we're gonna win if he's throwing fifty
- 17:54Speaker 1: five times a game guy. So not at all. Is
- 17:58Speaker 1: that a long term problem. I don't know. They're not
- 18:00Speaker 1: changing quarterbacks. I don't think changing quarterbacks anytime soon. So
- 18:05Speaker 1: you have to be able to at least have the
- 18:08Speaker 1: thread of the run and the consistency of the run
- 18:11Speaker 1: to have him in situations where he can succeed. And
- 18:15Speaker 1: I think that's the huge issue right now is what
- 18:18Speaker 1: they're going to do about this backfield. And we'll probably
- 18:21Speaker 1: know something. There's got to be someone coming in this week.
- 18:24Speaker 1: It won't be a work guys out. Let's wait and see.
- 18:26Speaker 1: And it's not gonna be Tim Cook coming back. I mean,
- 18:28Speaker 1: you've got to go find somebody. Maybe it's the dark
- 18:30Speaker 1: Kwak kid that was in last week. You've got to
- 18:31Speaker 1: get an experience back in here. I'm not I haven't
- 18:34Speaker 1: looked at the free agent list. I know Dark waws
- 18:36Speaker 1: high on a couple of lists, so he was worked
- 18:39Speaker 1: out for a lot of teams. My guesses is that
- 18:41Speaker 1: they're going to get someone in here tonight. But I
- 18:42Speaker 1: wonder if you don't need to have Oah again, what
- 18:46Speaker 1: they think about about four net and where he's at
- 18:48Speaker 1: to go A long way towards deciding that absolutely all right,
- 18:51Speaker 1: big thing three is three in two, So let's all
- 18:53Speaker 1: take a deep breath. You're not losing grounds. The Titans
- 18:56Speaker 1: lost as well yesterday, and talking to guys in the
- 18:58Speaker 1: locker room on defense, they said everything is going to
- 19:00Speaker 1: be fine or right where we need to be. You know,
- 19:03Speaker 1: they played well today. Um you know, like you said,
- 19:05Speaker 1: it was a clash of Titans number one officer for
- 19:07Speaker 1: number one defense and uh, I feel like they came
- 19:09Speaker 1: away with the advantage. They were able to put up points.
- 19:11Speaker 1: They we want to drive the ball, which you know
- 19:13Speaker 1: a gainst us that's unheard of. So you know they
- 19:15Speaker 1: were able to drive on us. But you know, it's
- 19:17Speaker 1: something in the world. You know, we took a lump today.
- 19:19Speaker 1: We'll get back up and get ready to play. I
- 19:22Speaker 1: know this team is resilient. You know, we're tough. You know,
- 19:24Speaker 1: we stick together. We have a lot of heart, and
- 19:27Speaker 1: so you know what I mean, we lost one on
- 19:28Speaker 1: the road and gets a good team, you know, with
- 19:30Speaker 1: things don't go away. Now, things are bouncing away, and
- 19:32Speaker 1: we got a lot of you know, you know, thing's
- 19:33Speaker 1: going away, and we still lost us It's a big deal.
- 19:35Speaker 1: But you know, today was one of those days where
- 19:36Speaker 1: things and not go away, and we just stay you know,
- 19:39Speaker 1: stay with it and kept fighting. And you know, obviously,
- 19:41Speaker 1: you know we lost the game, and you know, you
- 19:43Speaker 1: know by a good, good amount. But at the same time,
- 19:45Speaker 1: you know, I like to fight my team, and I
- 19:47Speaker 1: know that we're gonna bounce back and we'll be just fine.
- 19:49Speaker 1: I know it's hard to see this morning for a
- 19:51Speaker 1: lot of fans because they look at the five turnovers,
- 19:54Speaker 1: um But the reality of it is three and two.
- 19:58Speaker 1: They're still where they were because the Titans beat in Buffalo,
- 20:01Speaker 1: um and and they're not where we thought they could
- 20:07Speaker 1: be at this point, but they're certainly right where they
- 20:09Speaker 1: should be, which is in the thick of it in
- 20:11Speaker 1: the middle of the entire thing, and that they're three
- 20:13Speaker 1: and two with as many injuries on the offensive side
- 20:15Speaker 1: of the football, decimating their personality if you will, because
- 20:19Speaker 1: they don't do right now what they really want to do. Um,
- 20:22Speaker 1: no reason to push the panic. Right after Blake Bortle's
- 20:26Speaker 1: press conference, he was saying about winning the quarter. If
- 20:28Speaker 1: you're six and two at the end of this quarter,
- 20:30Speaker 1: you're right where you need to be. So these next
- 20:31Speaker 1: three weeks are extremely important pressure on you. Yeah, well,
- 20:34Speaker 1: they're very important. And it feels to me like a
- 20:37Speaker 1: month where again I'm not assuming that I'm going to
- 20:41Speaker 1: see Leonard for a net at full health until I
- 20:43Speaker 1: see him at full health. So it seems like you're
- 20:47Speaker 1: going to have a month where there's a high possibility
- 20:51Speaker 1: that you spend two or three weeks trying to figure
- 20:54Speaker 1: out again what you are offensively. Maybe that means getting
- 20:57Speaker 1: to where you have more faith in Blake and he
- 21:00Speaker 1: cuts down the turnovers and they start inching out some
- 21:03Speaker 1: things in the running game. It feels to me like
- 21:05Speaker 1: a month where you might have some seventeen to thirteen
- 21:08Speaker 1: wins where it's defensive oriented, where you're holding your breath
- 21:12Speaker 1: a little bit where on Monday's people are talking about, well,
- 21:16Speaker 1: that wasn't as big a win as we thought we
- 21:18Speaker 1: were going to get. Uh, this team isn't winning impressively.
- 21:21Speaker 1: They may need to win ugly a couple of weeks
- 21:23Speaker 1: till you get to London, but guess what, that's what
- 21:26Speaker 1: this team is built to do. I think it's gonna
- 21:27Speaker 1: be a high pressure month. I don't think it's gonna
- 21:29Speaker 1: be a pretty month necessarily, but you need to win
- 21:32Speaker 1: these next two. Last year, this team was good in
- 21:35Speaker 1: the red zone and they were in positive territory in
- 21:39Speaker 1: the turnover margin. Just forget for a moment where they
- 21:41Speaker 1: are these next three games. To get to that midway
- 21:44Speaker 1: point in a good position, they've got to be what
- 21:47Speaker 1: they were last year, not turning the ball over, taking
- 21:50Speaker 1: the ball away, and they've got to be efficient when
- 21:52Speaker 1: they get those chances, because, as you just said, they're
- 21:55Speaker 1: gonna be grinding it out. You're not gonna get as
- 21:57Speaker 1: many chances as you'd probably like, and so you can
- 22:00Speaker 1: not leave the red zone with with no points. That's
- 22:04Speaker 1: a field goal. You gotta get something in those games.
- 22:07Speaker 1: And this team, you know you've watched it, Brian, you've
- 22:10Speaker 1: watched it, Ashley since Demarone took over. This is absolutely
- 22:15Speaker 1: a team that lives to scrape out three points on drive.
- 22:19Speaker 1: I mean it plays that way. It plays a scoreboard. Okay,
- 22:23Speaker 1: we didn't get three here, but we have I mean,
- 22:25Speaker 1: we didn't get seven here, but we got three. We
- 22:27Speaker 1: have a good enough defense, and we're gonna get three again. Uh.
- 22:31Speaker 1: They believe in that, and that's sort of what made
- 22:33Speaker 1: that decision down ten nothing to go for the field goal.
- 22:39Speaker 1: I mean, I have to go for the touchdown. A
- 22:40Speaker 1: little odd. They usually play, let's stockpile some points early. Uh,
- 22:46Speaker 1: I'm not sure they trusted their defense enough early in
- 22:49Speaker 1: that game to get the Chiefs off the field. Alright,
- 22:50Speaker 1: let's take a look at the Jags drive time pull
- 22:54Speaker 1: on Twitter, and it's the Excity player of the game,

- 25:09Speaker 1: Welcome back to Jack's Drive Time Here on a Monday,
- 25:11Speaker 1: presented by Jet Home Loans. We have some highlights for
- 25:14Speaker 1: you from this Kansas City loss. There are a few
- 25:16Speaker 1: of them, some offense, some defense. Let's start with the
- 25:19Speaker 1: second quarter. I was standing behind the bench in the
- 25:22Speaker 1: second quarter when the defense is going on the field
- 25:23Speaker 1: and Kelvin Smith looked as defense said, this is where
- 25:26Speaker 1: it changes. This is where we get the ball and
- 25:28Speaker 1: make something happen. So what happens to Sean Gibson interception
- 25:31Speaker 1: completely changed the momentum of the game. The offense is
- 25:34Speaker 1: back on the field, you say, all right, we have
- 25:35Speaker 1: a chance, and the offense just does not capitalize. To
- 25:38Speaker 1: sum it up, up the body one. You got the
- 25:43Speaker 1: field and he's got the ball. Backs critics were trying
- 25:47Speaker 1: to run away space. Yeah, John, you already have said
- 25:52Speaker 1: you thought that was really the turning point of the game.
- 25:54Speaker 1: And when you look back on it, they only went
- 25:57Speaker 1: down and got the field goal. But the turning point
- 26:00Speaker 1: of the game. Part of it to me is is
- 26:02Speaker 1: that all of a sudden, now everything looks shaky and
- 26:05Speaker 1: the very next play was the pick six. Well, I
- 26:07Speaker 1: said turning point, and you know, the entire first half
- 26:10Speaker 1: was a turning point because the Chiefs dominated and there
- 26:13Speaker 1: was all these little moments where in the NFL right now,
- 26:18Speaker 1: the league is so built toward offense that you expect
- 26:22Speaker 1: teams to be able to come back from a ten
- 26:23Speaker 1: point deficit or three team point deficit. It's set up
- 26:26Speaker 1: for scoring like that. So the Jaguars had multiple opportunities
- 26:29Speaker 1: to sort of take advantage of the of the way
- 26:32Speaker 1: the league is. This was one of them, and they
- 26:35Speaker 1: didn't do it. And Jerey part had a rough day.
- 26:37Speaker 1: I go to Tony Boselli and Jeff Logham for the game.
- 26:40Speaker 1: They were very concerned about that being a tough matchup
- 26:43Speaker 1: for Jeremy Partnell. I didn't expect it to be a
- 26:46Speaker 1: game ruining matchup. Um. I think had the had the
- 26:50Speaker 1: rest of the offensive line played better, maybe that one
- 26:53Speaker 1: matchup isn't a game ruining matchup. But it seemed like
- 26:55Speaker 1: d Ford was in Blake Bois's face well, and he
- 26:57Speaker 1: was two years ago to Jeremy struggled with the speed
- 27:00Speaker 1: of that that smaller guy. And again the offensive line
- 27:04Speaker 1: from right to left. Parnell is dealing with the knee
- 27:06Speaker 1: right he's on the injury report nearly every week. The
- 27:09Speaker 1: tricept for the right guard, the back for the center,
- 27:12Speaker 1: the foot for the left guard, and the left tackle
- 27:15Speaker 1: to be determined. You know, is it Josh Wells or
- 27:18Speaker 1: is it going to be Josh Walker depending on the
- 27:20Speaker 1: Well's groin injury. Who I mean, They've got to figure
- 27:23Speaker 1: out a way to be able to hold up long
- 27:26Speaker 1: enough for Blake to be able to throw the ball. Yeah,
- 27:28Speaker 1: And it's clearly is I mean, it goes saying this
- 27:31Speaker 1: is not this team's offensive identity to have beat up
- 27:36Speaker 1: offensive line. No for Net to not be able to
- 27:40Speaker 1: turn the ball and to turn around and hand him
- 27:42Speaker 1: the ball. Uh. The loss of Corey Grant means I
- 27:47Speaker 1: think we're a long way from seeing any sort of
- 27:49Speaker 1: a two back, dynamic defense, which is what this team
- 27:55Speaker 1: wanted to be and when it built, that's what it
- 27:58Speaker 1: thought it was right the Atlantic, thinking that this was
- 28:02Speaker 1: that was how they were going to grow as an
- 28:04Speaker 1: offense this year. Precisely, we were going to see a
- 28:07Speaker 1: lot of the creativity with the with the multiple looks
- 28:10Speaker 1: and the talent that they had back there and John.
- 28:12Speaker 1: We haven't been able to see it because of the injury.
- 28:14Speaker 1: And now I'm not sure you can pull it out.
- 28:16Speaker 1: I mean correct, maybe there's a little if you have
- 28:18Speaker 1: both for Net healthy along with Yeldon, but gone is
- 28:21Speaker 1: the Corey Grant side of it, and he was that
- 28:23Speaker 1: X factor because out of the backfield he was so dynamic.
- 28:25Speaker 1: He's done. I remember us talking about that Week three
- 28:28Speaker 1: preseason Atlanta, how impressed we were with those two back formations.
- 28:31Speaker 1: And now that and that was it and we're not
- 28:34Speaker 1: seeing it. Also now it's back to what they did
- 28:36Speaker 1: last year, which is grinded out you can get your
- 28:39Speaker 1: grinder back. Yes, all right, next play started the second half,
- 28:43Speaker 1: third quarter, you're down thirty two points. I'm sorry. At
- 28:46Speaker 1: that point, the offense needs get on the board, needs
- 28:49Speaker 1: to get on the board of Westbrook twenty three yards,
- 28:51Speaker 1: Coal thirty two yards too, beautiful receptions and then a touchdown.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Push it out's throw it, Zona yelled with a touchdown.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Terrific throw. I mean, just put it right where t
- 29:05Speaker 1: J could pull it in. And at that moment they're
- 29:07Speaker 1: down seven, about five minutes left, I think maybe in
- 29:11Speaker 1: the third quarter, and um, you think, okay, well, let's
- 29:14Speaker 1: see if the defense can get a stop. And this
- 29:18Speaker 1: was an example of they couldn't get the stop, they
- 29:20Speaker 1: couldn't get them off the field. They get a field goal,
- 29:22Speaker 1: they make a twenty three seven, they keep pushing their
- 29:24Speaker 1: lead up there. But at that moment there was some
- 29:26Speaker 1: wind in the Jaguars sales well, and I think that's
- 29:28Speaker 1: what Doug Moronn was talking about. I think it's what
- 29:30Speaker 1: the defensive players were talking about. There was they were
- 29:33Speaker 1: in the locker room afterward. There were strong lines of
- 29:36Speaker 1: questioning about well, you only gave twenty three points to
- 29:39Speaker 1: chiefs uh if you thought that before the game, you
- 29:43Speaker 1: probably think you win, So was this a good defensive effort?
- 29:46Speaker 1: And you could kind of tell the guys in the defense,
- 29:48Speaker 1: we're thinking about it, and it just didn't feel like
- 29:52Speaker 1: that so a game. There are some games where you
- 29:55Speaker 1: give up twenty and you feel on a defense like,
- 29:59Speaker 1: you know what, we didn't play that bad with this one.
- 30:02Speaker 1: Doug Marone talked in his press conference about the big
- 30:04Speaker 1: plays aloud. He said, there were six in the first half.
- 30:07Speaker 1: I go back to the third downs you couldn't get
- 30:09Speaker 1: off the field, the Sammy Watkins play where you didn't
- 30:12Speaker 1: get enough of a rush on my homes and all
- 30:14Speaker 1: of a sudden he burst wide open. There were moments
- 30:17Speaker 1: where you felt like, okay, they've weathered the storm. If
- 30:21Speaker 1: they can get a stop now, they'll be back. And
- 30:23Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, it was first down Kansas City.
- 30:25Speaker 1: That's what they're used to executing defensively. It's what they
- 30:29Speaker 1: didn't do yesterday. All right, last play thirty seven in
- 30:33Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. We talked about Bordles, the will to win.
- 30:35Speaker 1: This play impressed me. Despite the loss alta state, there's
- 30:41Speaker 1: sports and three portals contends to drive it toward the
- 30:48Speaker 1: goal line and it's a touchdown. So I was just
- 30:51Speaker 1: in the right place all day yesterday because I was
- 30:53Speaker 1: standing there in that corner of the end zone as
- 30:56Speaker 1: he came through too, and I thought he was just
- 30:57Speaker 1: gonna go out of bounce with the first down, and
- 30:58Speaker 1: then he just kind of you could just kind of
- 31:00Speaker 1: see it in his eyes. Not enough. He was not
- 31:02Speaker 1: getting taken down. You know, he knew he was having
- 31:04Speaker 1: a tough day. He was going to try to give
- 31:05Speaker 1: his team a lift as much as he could. And
- 31:07Speaker 1: that was I mean that that's what we love about
- 31:10Speaker 1: this kid. I mean, there's that he is willing to
- 31:12Speaker 1: throw his body into the fray and play the game
- 31:15Speaker 1: that way. His teammates love that about him. He's gonna
- 31:18Speaker 1: need to play like that the rest of the year. Well,
- 31:20Speaker 1: you can't question his heart now, or is want to
- 31:23Speaker 1: or any of the stuff that you'll love. Um, what
- 31:29Speaker 1: is disturbing is the foreign reception game at this point
- 31:37Speaker 1: where in this league right now, it's designed to have
- 31:43Speaker 1: a lot of passing yards, design have a core of
- 31:46Speaker 1: playing at a high level, and he has a lot
- 31:48Speaker 1: of passing yards. He's putting up numbers and there are
- 31:51Speaker 1: moments where he's fantastic, but the great ones you don't
- 31:56Speaker 1: have interceptions like he had yesterday, and then you don't
- 32:00Speaker 1: have the problems the ide yesterday. But I also go
- 32:03Speaker 1: back to they know what he is in no way,
- 32:07Speaker 1: shape or form in the off season or this week.
- 32:10Speaker 1: Are they sitting down they're going, Okay, this week, Brian,
- 32:13Speaker 1: we're gonna throw seventy and we're gonna come out and
- 32:16Speaker 1: we're gonna win. Never at any point, or are they
- 32:20Speaker 1: putting seventy passes on the whiteboard as goals for this week.
- 32:25Speaker 1: They can't play that way. So when they get into
- 32:27Speaker 1: that situation, there's very few quarterbacks you can win that way.
- 32:30Speaker 1: This one certainly can't. Alright, That's all I got for highlights.
- 32:34Speaker 1: All Right, We'll take a break and return on a

- 34:25Speaker 1: Drive Time Brian Ashland John time for ozone snapshot. Tell
- 34:30Speaker 1: you talking over your music Zone? All right, let's go
- 34:41Speaker 1: kill the music Joe that he gave you. How dare
- 34:45Speaker 1: you talk over the music Joseph former DJ. He loves
- 34:49Speaker 1: the music, Joe. Just send me that light a bit.
- 34:53Speaker 1: All right? This first Ozone is exactly what I would
- 34:55Speaker 1: have expected the first ozone mail bag to be. Ryan
- 34:58Speaker 1: from Jacksonville. Do you think that the jag should have
- 35:01Speaker 1: handed the ball off to the fullback or even gone
- 35:03Speaker 1: with a QB keeper when it was third in a
- 35:05Speaker 1: yard and a half to go at the k C three. Well,
- 35:10Speaker 1: you know we went over it earlier in one handle
- 35:12Speaker 1: it could have show would uh? I thought it was
- 35:17Speaker 1: one of those situations, Brian. We alluded to it earlier
- 35:20Speaker 1: where you probably went philosophically or not philosophically but technically
- 35:27Speaker 1: with the right call for the situation, meaning on on
- 35:30Speaker 1: third and one, you're looking to cover zero, they're blitzing you.
- 35:35Speaker 1: Feel like, hey, if we throw the ball on this
- 35:39Speaker 1: play twenty times our percentage of getting a touchdown or
- 35:43Speaker 1: high This is the right read for the situation. I
- 35:48Speaker 1: but what this team is, what it what it wants
- 35:51Speaker 1: to be. There is a team that can just will
- 35:55Speaker 1: its way to a first down and leonards in the game,
- 35:58Speaker 1: right you probably do run it least. Guess the overriding
- 36:01Speaker 1: issue here is, right now they don't feel like they're
- 36:05Speaker 1: that team. So here's the interesting issue. We're talking about
- 36:08Speaker 1: Blake not being the guy that you want throwing the
- 36:10Speaker 1: ball thirty five or forty times a game, but you
- 36:12Speaker 1: don't have for Net and you don't have Grant and
- 36:14Speaker 1: t J. Yelden's beat up, so you're not who you
- 36:17Speaker 1: want to be. You may have to play like you
- 36:19Speaker 1: don't want to play at times, and the defense is
- 36:23Speaker 1: going to have to play like they did last year.
- 36:27Speaker 1: Score some touchdowns, be opportunists to create short fields and
- 36:30Speaker 1: take the pressure off of an offense that isn't right
- 36:33Speaker 1: now what it wants to be. The answer to the question,
- 36:35Speaker 1: from my perspective from standing right there, is if you're
- 36:37Speaker 1: not going to take the point, you got to try
- 36:39Speaker 1: and run it at least once. Because they had mashed
- 36:42Speaker 1: the ball down the field fifty of the seventy two
- 36:44Speaker 1: yards on that drive. We're on the run and against
- 36:47Speaker 1: the defense that had been giving up six point six
- 36:49Speaker 1: per carry the last couple of weeks. Yes, but again
- 36:51Speaker 1: no for net they're playing the odds. No way in
- 36:57Speaker 1: the world, Brian, would you have expected in August for
- 37:02Speaker 1: the Jaguars to have third and one and a half
- 37:06Speaker 1: in that situation. Absolutely not feel like we're not even
- 37:10Speaker 1: questioning we're running twice, but right now that's where they
- 37:14Speaker 1: are well and and that's that's telling. That they're throwing
- 37:18Speaker 1: twice down there tells you what they think about their
- 37:20Speaker 1: ability to run behind an offensive line that's beat up,
- 37:23Speaker 1: and I'm sure they had a lot to do with it.
- 37:24Speaker 1: Absolutely not confident, all right, ozone to rob, but we're
- 37:28Speaker 1: going to we have no offensive weapons. How long do
- 37:31Speaker 1: we pretend we can consistently win with no offensive stars?
- 37:35Speaker 1: We need to star and one is does Bryant? Can
- 37:37Speaker 1: you think of anyone else who is out there at
- 37:39Speaker 1: the running back? I want to see number twenty seven back,
- 37:41Speaker 1: but he is inconsistent at best at this time. We
- 37:44Speaker 1: need stars to offset our youth on offense. Please talk
- 37:47Speaker 1: about potential pickups stars. That's what it is. Let me
- 37:54Speaker 1: do this for you. I forgot Max camera here. Watch
- 38:00Speaker 1: Please don't hurt yourself. How you do it? Well? Des Bryant,
- 38:04Speaker 1: are you kidding? Here's the thing? He was a star,
- 38:08Speaker 1: right and he's been on the street now for months.
- 38:12Speaker 1: Can you think of anyone else who is out there
- 38:14Speaker 1: running back? Well? I can't think of maybe there running
- 38:17Speaker 1: back or receiver, uh or the offensive line potential pickups.
- 38:22Speaker 1: It's week five in the NFL. You don't find these
- 38:24Speaker 1: guys sitting on the street, right, And Des Bryant is
- 38:29Speaker 1: not the solution to what ails these guys. If it was,
- 38:33Speaker 1: he would be here. If if there were other guys
- 38:35Speaker 1: out there, they would already be here. Now, could they
- 38:39Speaker 1: make a trade this week? Will they go after something
- 38:42Speaker 1: with the running back? I don't where your head? Do
- 38:46Speaker 1: you think that? Is that what this guy was asking
- 38:48Speaker 1: for trade for leving on Bell? I'm sure he like it, Yeah,
- 38:52Speaker 1: I mean, and I wouldn't mind it. What are you
- 38:54Speaker 1: gonna give up? I mean, what are you gonna get him?
- 38:56Speaker 1: By the way, and I got to ask that question,
- 39:00Speaker 1: but just on the off chance that they were, we
- 39:04Speaker 1: gotta throw something we gotta save the running game this season.
- 39:06Speaker 1: Let's go for Levan Bill. First of all, you're not
- 39:08Speaker 1: going to have him on the on the field till
- 39:09Speaker 1: after the bye week. He hasn't been a camp you know,
- 39:12Speaker 1: your offense. So now you're trading what to two to
- 39:16Speaker 1: get a guy you're going to get eight games from two? Whoa,
- 39:21Speaker 1: consider the possibilities. Let's get groned while we're at it.
- 39:26Speaker 1: Mine as long as we're making calls and well, I
- 39:30Speaker 1: guess it doesn't cost anything anymore. Alright, last one, let's
- 39:34Speaker 1: go to Daniel from Jacksonville. Can we stop talking about
- 39:38Speaker 1: this defense as an elite defense? Now, sure, we had
- 39:41Speaker 1: a few sacks and a few turnovers, but we've also
- 39:43Speaker 1: seen offenses marched down the field on this defense on
- 39:46Speaker 1: extended drives. I know the NFL has catered to offenses,
- 39:49Speaker 1: but this is the lead we play in now. Elite
- 39:52Speaker 1: defenses don't allow this. Yeah, you know, it was not
- 39:56Speaker 1: a great day for the defense, especially early. It was
- 39:58Speaker 1: a tough day for the defense and they weren't happy
- 40:01Speaker 1: with what they played. But I don't think you can
- 40:06Speaker 1: say that this is still not one of the best
- 40:09Speaker 1: defenses in the league. Well, look at what the other
- 40:11Speaker 1: defenses did yesterday, right, and tell me that it's not.
- 40:14Speaker 1: I still expect this defense, you know, I still expect
- 40:17Speaker 1: this defense to win a lot of games for this team.
- 40:20Speaker 1: I expect the defense to carry this team for the
- 40:22Speaker 1: next couple of weeks and get out of this month
- 40:24Speaker 1: at least two and two, get to at least five
- 40:26Speaker 1: and three, get to the bye week where you can breathe.
- 40:29Speaker 1: I think that's a realistic goal right now. I think
- 40:31Speaker 1: that's what you want to do. Um. And I still
- 40:35Speaker 1: believe that this defense is playing at an equal level
- 40:38Speaker 1: to what it was last year, even without the sacks,
- 40:41Speaker 1: even without the turnovers. A lot of times those those
- 40:46Speaker 1: eye catching stats are dictated by circumstances. Um, I believe
- 40:52Speaker 1: those stats will come, But I do believe that the
- 40:56Speaker 1: offense has to start functioning at a level to allow
- 40:59Speaker 1: the defense to have their splash play realistic. Yesterday was
- 41:03Speaker 1: the first time that a team lined up and drove
- 41:05Speaker 1: the ball down the field. Uh, the Chiefs did it
- 41:07Speaker 1: three times. They did it once in the first half,
- 41:09Speaker 1: just once, um, and twice in the second half. But
- 41:15Speaker 1: at the end of the third quarter you'd still only
- 41:17Speaker 1: allowed them sixteen points on defense, and that was a
- 41:22Speaker 1: team twenty points below it's seasonal average. They didn't give
- 41:26Speaker 1: up a touchdown pass to the guy they took the
- 41:28Speaker 1: ball away from him twice. Did they play great? No,
- 41:31Speaker 1: But are they still one of the best teams one
- 41:34Speaker 1: of the best defenses in football? There's no question. Look
- 41:37Speaker 1: at the Eagles, look at the Vikings, look at teams
- 41:40Speaker 1: with great defenses and how they have given up yards
- 41:43Speaker 1: and points this year. It's the league. It's the way
- 41:45Speaker 1: that it is designed. Offenses have a tremendous advantage with
- 41:49Speaker 1: the rules. The way this team is built, you expect
- 41:55Speaker 1: the defenses. You expect the defense to be elite and
- 41:58Speaker 1: have to carry the team because of the way the
- 42:02Speaker 1: equity has been spent, draft picks, money, whatever. It's going
- 42:05Speaker 1: to be an elite defense and the offense is not
- 42:08Speaker 1: going to be as elite as as the defense. That
- 42:11Speaker 1: doesn't mean I don't have to carry its weight, correct it.
- 42:15Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be great the offense, but it
- 42:18Speaker 1: must be better than it was. Sont's be honest. In
- 42:20Speaker 1: the two losses this year, the offense has worked against
- 42:23Speaker 1: the Jaguars defense. It has not been able to produce
- 42:27Speaker 1: against the Titans. The Jaguars absolutely shut them down, kept
- 42:30Speaker 1: them out of the end zone. They made plays on
- 42:32Speaker 1: third down. But if the offense scores in that ball game,
- 42:36Speaker 1: then they don't worry about that same thing yesterday. If
- 42:38Speaker 1: the offense doesn't turn the ball over, if the offense
- 42:40Speaker 1: score some points to your point from earlier, well then
- 42:43Speaker 1: this defense, its effort does look elite against a top offense.
- 42:48Speaker 1: You always talking offense hasn't helped, right, You always talk
- 42:50Speaker 1: about the league being a league, plays lead a big
- 42:55Speaker 1: play anything. But what we talked about so far in
- 42:57Speaker 1: this show, Chiefs early especially very efficient on some crucial
- 43:03Speaker 1: third downs. The Jaguars three times inside the five get
- 43:09Speaker 1: no points, not only no touchdowns, but no points. Different game,
- 43:13Speaker 1: you flip those two things. Different game. It's a different game.
- 43:17Speaker 1: But ifs, ifs and butts and all that. But that's
- 43:20Speaker 1: why hope is not lost for this team down the road.
- 43:24Speaker 1: It must get better in those situations. That is all
- 43:28Speaker 1: for ozone. Alright, time for some NFL headlines for you
- 43:31Speaker 1: before we take our final break of the morning. And uh,
- 43:35Speaker 1: there's plenty in the kicking game. How about this Mason
- 43:37Speaker 1: Crosby yesterday thirteen points, He cost his team. Mason Crosby,
- 43:42Speaker 1: the all time leading scorer in Packer's history, missed four
- 43:45Speaker 1: field goals and a point after in an eight point loss.
- 43:49Speaker 1: He missed thirteen points. Did Ashton do this graphic? Or
- 43:51Speaker 1: did you? Why? Do you know who? We're all fitz
- 43:55Speaker 1: ash Do you know who? He made? Not since nineteen
- 44:01Speaker 1: eighty when Rolf Bersha of the San Diego Chargers missed
- 44:04Speaker 1: four field goals in a point after six and he
- 44:08Speaker 1: was the guy actually who they would not look at
- 44:11Speaker 1: the goal posts for a kick. He would have his
- 44:14Speaker 1: holder align him up and his superstition there, he would
- 44:18Speaker 1: not look at the goal post for he kicked. He
- 44:20Speaker 1: was like completely on the holder and never looked at
- 44:22Speaker 1: the ball. I mean, I never looked at the goal post.
- 44:24Speaker 1: I love. Yeah. The reason this one is in is
- 44:27Speaker 1: beside the fact that that's a lot of points for
- 44:28Speaker 1: a kicker to miss, is we could talk about Rolf,
- 44:31Speaker 1: which I don't think in years of doing this, I've
- 44:35Speaker 1: talked about Rolf binnurse, You've been remiss, not any longer. Uh.
- 44:39Speaker 1: Staying with the kicking game. Yesterday in New York, Graham
- 44:42Speaker 1: Gono a m sixty three yard game winner it's the
- 44:47Speaker 1: longest game winner. It's not the longest field goal any longer,
- 44:51Speaker 1: because the kid in Denver has a sixty four yarder UM.
- 44:54Speaker 1: But Tom Dempsey beat the Lions at the seventy That
- 44:58Speaker 1: was the longest field goal the NFL history until a
- 45:01Speaker 1: few years ago. But the longest game winner, and yesterday
- 45:04Speaker 1: was the longest game winner since nineteen seventy beats the
- 45:09Speaker 1: New York Giants. Great kicks. That's an incredible It's funny
- 45:15Speaker 1: you've been waiting for that sixty three yard or the
- 45:21Speaker 1: Dempsey hit to feel more and more obsolete, um because
- 45:27Speaker 1: it seems like the rest of the game, you know,
- 45:29Speaker 1: but it keeps. It's still the standard. It's it's still
- 45:34Speaker 1: one that lives, and I'm not sure they'll stretch much
- 45:38Speaker 1: beyond that. Alright, let's wrap this one up with a
- 45:41Speaker 1: little perspective on the Jaguars defense. Isaiah Crowe l last
- 45:44Speaker 1: week had four carries for zero yards. That's a zero
- 45:49Speaker 1: point zero average. Yesterday fifteen carries, an NFL record fourteen
- 45:54Speaker 1: point six yards per carry average, set the Jets single
- 45:57Speaker 1: game record with twitter nineteen yards against the Broncos defense,
- 46:01Speaker 1: which last I checked, still had plenty of talent, was
- 46:04Speaker 1: a pretty good defense and Corwell ran crazy in New York.
- 46:09Speaker 1: It's a week to week league. Things change. This team
- 46:11Speaker 1: didn't let Correll even get started last week. Good perspective.
- 46:15Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break. One more segment of

- 48:06Speaker 1: Jet Home Owns. Let's take a look at our Axfinity
- 48:08Speaker 1: Player of the Game drive Time poll. Forty eight percent
- 48:11Speaker 1: say t J Yeldon Say t J Yeldon is the
- 48:15Speaker 1: player of the game. Reading a few comments, there's a
- 48:18Speaker 1: few Patrick mahomes. That's not an option. It doesn't count
- 48:21Speaker 1: good one. Jaguars fans, though, however, made me a giggle.
- 48:25Speaker 1: Not gonna lie glad that you're giggling because you're not
- 48:28Speaker 1: real pipe this morning. No, that's for sure. I'm only
- 48:30Speaker 1: pipey after wins. Fans are a clever lot. Before we
- 48:34Speaker 1: wrap the show, should we recap? He will? He won't
- 48:37Speaker 1: be mind a week? Who did you have? Do you have? Jalen?
- 48:43Speaker 1: You didn't, yes, Um, I thought he played okay. I mean,
- 48:47Speaker 1: I don't remember what I said as far as you
- 48:49Speaker 1: will you any mind? I thought you have a pick.
- 48:52Speaker 1: I thought you might get some shots to Tyryk Hill. Uh.
- 48:55Speaker 1: A lot of being made to the fact that Tyrreek
- 48:56Speaker 1: Hill beat him once down the sidelines and and he
- 48:59Speaker 1: was on him at by the way. Yeah, And so
- 49:02Speaker 1: Jalen was right last week in the sense that it
- 49:04Speaker 1: wasn't going to be him on an island against Tyreek
- 49:07Speaker 1: I thought he did okay against him. The Chiefs used
- 49:09Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill in such a way that he's gonna get
- 49:12Speaker 1: his yards because they sort of use him a little
- 49:14Speaker 1: bit like a running back in the sense that they
- 49:16Speaker 1: get him in spots where he's going to get the ball.
- 49:19Speaker 1: Uh Jaalen gave up the big play. And because he
- 49:23Speaker 1: talks a lot when he gives up big plays, much
- 49:26Speaker 1: like an offensive lineman, when you give up a sack,
- 49:29Speaker 1: you're gonna get noticed, He's fine. The narratively different this week.
- 49:34Speaker 1: All right, I had Malik Jackson. I said he will
- 49:37Speaker 1: be a contribution. He had want tackle, so I guess
- 49:39Speaker 1: that counts. He did contribute. I said he won't have
- 49:42Speaker 1: a penalty that affects the game. You can make an
- 49:45Speaker 1: argument that penalty affected, so I was I was wrong there.
- 49:49Speaker 1: I said he might be the player of the game defensively.
- 49:51Speaker 1: He wasn't, So I was wrong. So you had a
- 49:54Speaker 1: tough day too, Yeah, that happens that I went with
- 49:57Speaker 1: Sean Gibson and I I said that I he he
- 50:02Speaker 1: will obviously cover the tight end, but he wouldn't do
- 50:04Speaker 1: it exclusively and didn't do as much as I thought
- 50:07Speaker 1: he would know And and in fact, Sir Travis Kelsey
- 50:09Speaker 1: had a hundred yards receiving, but the two big plays
- 50:12Speaker 1: that he made, uh Telvin obviously was out of position
- 50:16Speaker 1: and Barry Church took a bad angle. So um I
- 50:19Speaker 1: also thought that he would get his first interception after
- 50:23Speaker 1: he had taken away. Uh. And I said that he
- 50:25Speaker 1: would be chirping and talking, or he might chirp and
- 50:29Speaker 1: talk the whole day, which is not out of the question.
- 50:32Speaker 1: But I thought in the locker room afterwards that he
- 50:34Speaker 1: was pretty good. Um. The one thing about Sean is
- 50:38Speaker 1: is he will talk endlessly, win or lose. And yesterday
- 50:42Speaker 1: in the locker room, I mean, he just point blank said,
- 50:44Speaker 1: which you don't always hear from him. Credit to them, Um,
- 50:48Speaker 1: we weren't as good as they were today. And I
- 50:50Speaker 1: was surprised by the I mean, I'm never big on you.
- 50:55Speaker 1: Were they flat? Were they too much? But two or
- 50:57Speaker 1: three or four different guys said they felt like they
- 50:59Speaker 1: were flat early. Um, that surprised me. I don't quite
- 51:05Speaker 1: know what to make up. Brian, you were on the sidelines,
- 51:08Speaker 1: or both of you guys are on the sideline. Maybe
- 51:11Speaker 1: you felt it. Maybe it was the rain. I don't know,
- 51:13Speaker 1: you know, but that's an odd thing to have happened
- 51:16Speaker 1: for a team that had no reason not to be
- 51:19Speaker 1: pumped up. So it's it's it's a little bit of
- 51:21Speaker 1: an odd take after the game by the players. Maybe
- 51:23Speaker 1: you guys sensed it flat, wasn't the way I described it,
- 51:25Speaker 1: a little confused because well and and and Mahomes was
- 51:31Speaker 1: making plays that they had never seen before. Right one
- 51:34Speaker 1: of the screen passes Dispenser wear on the third down,
- 51:37Speaker 1: Mahomes is looking over here and he just kind of
- 51:39Speaker 1: threw the ball over his shoulder. I don't think he
- 51:42Speaker 1: was looking at where where it was going. I mentioned
- 51:44Speaker 1: earlier there was some some extended rollouts where the Jaggers
- 51:47Speaker 1: normally have that covered, and he's able to fire the
- 51:49Speaker 1: ball in because of the strength of his arm. I
- 51:52Speaker 1: think that they were a little deflated early because he
- 51:54Speaker 1: was making plays against them and they didn't anticipate that.
- 51:58Speaker 1: Deflated is a good word. I noticed, more than ever
- 52:00Speaker 1: so far this season a lot of televin like come on,
- 52:03Speaker 1: let's go, Jalen, come on, let's go, let's get hyped up.
- 52:05Speaker 1: Normally they don't have to do that with the defense,
- 52:07Speaker 1: but at one point Tellan went down the entire defensive
- 52:10Speaker 1: bench and addressed each person individually and said, come on,
- 52:13Speaker 1: let's go. Let's get the game going, which normally that
- 52:15Speaker 1: doesn't have to happen. Get a functioning team on the
- 52:17Speaker 1: other side of the ball. Can make you see and
- 52:22Speaker 1: and again credit to Andy Reid. The script that he
- 52:25Speaker 1: had for the first fifteen or twenty plays was breathtaking.
- 52:28Speaker 1: They were so and that's a talented team. They got
- 52:31Speaker 1: into a rhythm early and the jagg Wars couldn't disrupt
- 52:34Speaker 1: the rhythm. And they drove down the field and got
- 52:36Speaker 1: that early touchdown and there except the talent. So I
- 52:38Speaker 1: think they were a little deflated. We'll see how they
- 52:40Speaker 1: bounced back. They got a big week this week. Deflated
- 52:43Speaker 1: is flat, That's that's fair. Yeah, but flat flat flat, Well,
- 52:49Speaker 1: but to say flat means that they came out without
- 52:52Speaker 1: any year at all. And I thought they did have
- 52:53Speaker 1: some error and took it out just less than normal,
- 52:57Speaker 1: hence deflated. Yeah, if we're arguing this point, it's time
- 53:00Speaker 1: to say goodbye. Right later they we'll have head coach
- 53:02Speaker 1: Doug Moron at three thirty answering the hard hitting questions.
- 53:06Speaker 1: JP Shattering Crew will be on later on in Happy Hour,
- 53:09Speaker 1: and Brent Martineau and I will be on drivetime tomorrow morning.
- 53:12Speaker 1: We'll see you there. Thanks for watching. H H.
