Speaker 1: end of the table, he's John Osan And we're here
0:46

Speaker 1: cram into a show. I'm not even sure we have
0:49
Speaker 1: an hour's you know. We we have an hour and
0:52
Speaker 1: a half worth of show to squeeze into an too
0:54
Speaker 1: much show, is what you're saying. Yeah, there's more. We've
0:57
Speaker 1: got more show than you're paying for, folks, how's that?
1:03
Speaker 1: Dot Com free head coach Doug Moron will join us. Uh.
1:06
Speaker 1: Then Tracy from the CBS Sideline crew who's here on Sunday,
1:09
Speaker 1: will join us. Mike Dempsey will join us for Fantasy
1:12
Speaker 1: He will he won't? He might? Featured game of the week.
1:15
Speaker 1: We have so much degree to we might as well,
1:18
Speaker 1: in a very calm way, get started with big things.
1:22
Speaker 1: Big things. That's been the same big thing all week,
1:26
Speaker 1: Leonard for Nette's leg, the status of his legs. So
1:28
Speaker 1: he spoke to the media yesterday, So it's going to
1:31
Speaker 1: be a game time decision. But he feels like he
1:33
Speaker 1: is on the right track, good news, optimistic. First of all,
1:36
Speaker 1: I love the suit. Whose legs don't look better in
1:39
Speaker 1: a suit like that? In a nice mad suit? No, John,
1:43
Speaker 1: I don't think that would be the case. Yeah, he said,
1:47
Speaker 1: whose legs don't look better? And John saying you wouldn't
1:49
Speaker 1: wear that. So we don't know at this point. They're
1:52
Speaker 1: going to test today if if what Doug said holds true.
1:55
Speaker 1: Earlier in the week, after media time, after practice, they're
1:59
Speaker 1: going to work on the leg. Uh. He was in
2:02
Speaker 1: full pads yesterday like the rest of the team. You know,
2:04
Speaker 1: he's wearing the pants, and he came to the news
2:06
Speaker 1: conference and spoke. So I want to look into that
2:08
Speaker 1: a little bit and say, all right, well, they must
2:10
Speaker 1: feel good about his opportunity. I don't know that he
2:12
Speaker 1: would do either of those if there was no chance
2:15
Speaker 1: for him to play. Uh about the best you can
2:18
Speaker 1: hope for. And we'll know what eleven thirty on Sunday
2:23
Speaker 1: when they have to declare their inactives. Might know a
2:25
Speaker 1: little bit before that, you know. I mean, I think
2:27
Speaker 1: if they if he's not going to play, you would
2:33
Speaker 1: think that a move for Brandon Wilds would be a possibility,
2:38
Speaker 1: just because you know you've got two backs watch them,
2:41
Speaker 1: so watch that a little bit. I don't know if
2:44
Speaker 1: they would completely tip you off, but this is what
2:46
Speaker 1: your is what the intrigue is all about. All I
2:49
Speaker 1: can say is I keep going back to Doug Moron
2:52
Speaker 1: on Wednesday was optimistic or was not pessimistic about the
2:57
Speaker 1: chance I've been playing. Um, you know, thing we've learned
3:00
Speaker 1: about Doug and in a couple of years he's not
3:02
Speaker 1: going to come out there lying. So uh, yeah, there's
3:07
Speaker 1: a chance. You know. The other thing and Fred Taylor
3:10
Speaker 1: talked about it this week too, is hey might feel great,
3:12
Speaker 1: might feel great today tomorrow, have the treatment, get out
3:15
Speaker 1: their play and have it grip again. So I think
3:18
Speaker 1: it's important to note that with a hamstring, you know,
3:21
Speaker 1: he could get into the game, have four or five
3:22
Speaker 1: carries and then all of a sudden be done for
3:24
Speaker 1: the day again, and that's really where you have to
3:26
Speaker 1: be prudent. That's where to go. All right, hold on. Uh.
3:29
Speaker 1: Talking to Kevin Kaplan, one of the team doctors, he said,
3:35
Speaker 1: the only true way to heal a hamstring is rest,
3:39
Speaker 1: give it a rest. And it's tough to gauge how
3:42
Speaker 1: much rest you need. So we'll find out where it's
3:44
Speaker 1: at on Sunday. It may be nothing. They may get
3:46
Speaker 1: over it. Passed it the lynd to bother him the
3:48
Speaker 1: rest of the year. We all recall when Fred had
3:51
Speaker 1: the tweak of the hamstring and it cost him six games.
3:54
Speaker 1: So Acton wasn't born yet. But yeah, but you don't
4:00
Speaker 1: recall now, I don't recall. You're right about that. I
4:03
Speaker 1: was speaking to the folks out there, Jaguars fans recall, So, uh,
4:06
Speaker 1: stay tuned on this story. I have a feeling, just
4:09
Speaker 1: knowing history the way that I do, that it'll be
4:12
Speaker 1: a story that we followed for weeks to come. It
4:15
Speaker 1: feels like, yeah, it feels like definitely in the story
4:17
Speaker 1: this week. Absolutely, All right. Big thing number two is
4:20
Speaker 1: the guys up front. We have concluded that the offensive
4:22
Speaker 1: line needs to control the game, kind of like the
4:25
Speaker 1: defensive line does Brian, you and I spoke about it yesterday.
4:28
Speaker 1: This offensive line, We've been talking about the running game
4:30
Speaker 1: for so long, all this week, it starts with them. Well,
4:32
Speaker 1: there's so much confidence in t J. Yelden in his
4:35
Speaker 1: building and for good reason. He ran very well. He
4:37
Speaker 1: rebuilt his body in the off season, look great in
4:39
Speaker 1: training camp. Uh. Last week had a couple of good runs,
4:43
Speaker 1: but then in the second half didn't quite get it going.
4:45
Speaker 1: And in watching the tape and talking to Jeff Loghaman
4:48
Speaker 1: and even the guys in the locker room, the offensive
4:50
Speaker 1: line has to play better, and the Brandon Linder, they
4:53
Speaker 1: all talked about it. They have to be a factor
4:57
Speaker 1: on Sunday, a really strong force in this ball game.
5:00
Speaker 1: Them playing better equals t J. Yelden more carries more productivity.
5:05
Speaker 1: I think they will. There's you know, this team over
5:08
Speaker 1: the last what games, has typically played better offensively in
5:16
Speaker 1: weeks where everybody's sort of in panic mode. Oh my goodness,
5:20
Speaker 1: they couldn't do this. They couldn't do that. First of all,
5:22
Speaker 1: they game plan differently depending on opponents week to week.
5:27
Speaker 1: I think they'll game plan a little differently they did
5:29
Speaker 1: last week because they always do. And I think they'll
5:31
Speaker 1: run better because I think they'll throw better to set
5:35
Speaker 1: that up. I think they'll be more balanced, you know.
5:37
Speaker 1: I I think last week a lot of it was
5:40
Speaker 1: when this team has a lead and they know that
5:43
Speaker 1: they can grind it out and when doing that, uh,
5:47
Speaker 1: other teams tend to play for that. So I think
5:52
Speaker 1: they will have a game plan that makes sense against
5:55
Speaker 1: New England. And I think it's be one of those
5:56
Speaker 1: games where you're sitting there looking at the stat sheet
5:58
Speaker 1: afterwards and thinking, Wow, I didn't expect so and so
6:01
Speaker 1: to get yards, but they did. So that's my gut.
6:04
Speaker 1: I don't have any based that on except the history
6:07
Speaker 1: of these guys over the last sixteen seventeen games. We'll
6:11
Speaker 1: have head coach Doug Browne in a couple of minutes, Um,
6:15
Speaker 1: one more thought on that and we really want that? Yeah,
6:18
Speaker 1: I think we do. We want that, Doug and joined
6:21
Speaker 1: us for that. Hey, UM, I have said, I said
6:24
Speaker 1: during the draft, do they need to draft a big
6:26
Speaker 1: back so that you know, when you have this situation
6:29
Speaker 1: with Leonard you keep your personality intact, which is that
6:32
Speaker 1: pound the ball. And they didn't draft it. They didn't
6:35
Speaker 1: go sign one in free agency they didn't right, and
6:38
Speaker 1: they've expressed great confidence in t J yelled and to
6:40
Speaker 1: be able to keep their personality intact. Yesterday and talking
6:44
Speaker 1: with Nate Hackett on the day of the coordinators talk,
6:46
Speaker 1: he said the same thing. Playbooks open. They're not gonna
6:49
Speaker 1: pare it down. I mean, there's certain things that Leonard
6:51
Speaker 1: does better than t J and and the reverse is
6:54
Speaker 1: also true. But the playbook is completely open. They don't
6:57
Speaker 1: have to pull pages out if Leonard isn't able to go.
7:00
Speaker 1: It's been more than just you and I talking about it, Brian.
7:03
Speaker 1: It's been a philosophical decision that they made where a
7:07
Speaker 1: lot of people ask the question and thought, hey, are
7:09
Speaker 1: they going to sign a back? Are they going to
7:11
Speaker 1: have a back in free agency? Are you going to
7:13
Speaker 1: even pick up one after training camp started? But it's
7:17
Speaker 1: been something that they have been steadfast on and they've
7:20
Speaker 1: believed we couldn't get Chris Ivery on the field late
7:22
Speaker 1: in the season last season because we had the rotation
7:24
Speaker 1: of for Nett yelled in and Grant that we like. Um,
7:28
Speaker 1: this has been what they have decided to do. And
7:30
Speaker 1: now this is where you see if it pays off
7:33
Speaker 1: them going this direction. All right, let's wrap up the
7:35
Speaker 1: first segment with big Thing three and then we're bringing
7:37
Speaker 1: the head coach. Big Thing three is final analysis. So
7:40
Speaker 1: each week you write something for Jaguars dot Com. Senior
7:42
Speaker 1: writer John Osier check, I have not, no. He told
7:45
Speaker 1: me it's coming in the mail, though he told me
7:47
Speaker 1: mine was direct deposit. I'm waiting. Yeah, you've been waiting
7:49
Speaker 1: for you or I'm sure I never said it in
7:51
Speaker 1: such thing. Very rarely promised other people money. That's true.
7:56
Speaker 1: Each the article each week is the Jaguars will win
7:59
Speaker 1: if and the ozzing team will win if and I
8:01
Speaker 1: said the Jaggers will win if the offensive line steps
8:03
Speaker 1: up what we just said. The Patriots will win if
8:06
Speaker 1: they win that turnover battle. We know how destructive they
8:08
Speaker 1: can be when they win that turnover battle. John, Yeah,
8:12
Speaker 1: I mean I've been saying all week. Got turnovers to me.
8:15
Speaker 1: Stop the Patriots from running. Get pressure on Brady, Assume
8:20
Speaker 1: you're going in healthy with Clayis Campbell and you can
8:23
Speaker 1: gott which they didn't do in the championship game. With
8:26
Speaker 1: all the things we talked about the championship game, the
8:27
Speaker 1: pressure up the middle, all that stuff, that's what should
8:30
Speaker 1: win this game, and I think that will happen on Sunday.
8:33
Speaker 1: There will be critical moments in the game, as they're
8:35
Speaker 1: always are. Third and eighteen last year in the fourth
8:37
Speaker 1: quarter and then the touchdown throw in the back of
8:40
Speaker 1: the end zone to damn Danny amondola Um. In those moments,
8:43
Speaker 1: you must be where you're supposed to be against Tom Brady.
8:45
Speaker 1: Remember Tom Brady had the lacerated thumb and he didn't
8:47
Speaker 1: have Gronkowski in that ball game in the fourth quarter,
8:50
Speaker 1: and he found a way to win. When he's looking
8:53
Speaker 1: for a way to win, be there in his way, right,
8:56
Speaker 1: That's how you win. If your safeties, if you're linebackers,
8:58
Speaker 1: if everybody's on point, if they where they're supposed to be,
9:01
Speaker 1: doing what they're supposed to be doing, you win. I
9:05
Speaker 1: may be acided before that this week, Okay, we'll find out.
9:08
Speaker 1: We will find out, all right. We are due for
9:10
Speaker 1: the head coach to join us. He's in the other

10:56
Speaker 1: We asked you about opening day last week home opener.
11:00
Speaker 1: Have anything more for you fans? Oh? Absolutely. I think
11:03
Speaker 1: our players are excited. I think, um, you know, to
11:05
Speaker 1: play at home. I think it's something that you know,
11:07
Speaker 1: we were able to earn and establish, you know, as
11:10
Speaker 1: a season one along last year, and you know, it
11:12
Speaker 1: definitely definitely helped us. Our players look forward to it,
11:16
Speaker 1: and you know, it's it's the beginning of the year
11:18
Speaker 1: and we've got to make sure that we go out
11:20
Speaker 1: there and perform well. And we know our fans will
11:22
Speaker 1: be a big part of it. And our fans, uh,
11:24
Speaker 1: you know, you know can can make place for us.
11:27
Speaker 1: They really can. And you know, it's a great bunch
11:30
Speaker 1: of people out there, and and our players are are
11:32
Speaker 1: truly excited. Players talked about that a lot this week.
11:35
Speaker 1: Having earned it, you think it means more to and
11:38
Speaker 1: the fact that they saw last year that it was
11:41
Speaker 1: not fantastic early and then all of a sudden the
11:44
Speaker 1: last three or four games it was unbelievable. I get
11:46
Speaker 1: the sense they can't wait to get in front of
11:48
Speaker 1: these Yeah, I agree with that, and I think, you know,
11:50
Speaker 1: because you had it. You know, I tried to change
11:53
Speaker 1: the mindset, you know, to make sure that everyone understood that.
11:55
Speaker 1: Hey listen, you know who wants to come out and
11:58
Speaker 1: you know watch a team that that the perform well.
12:01
Speaker 1: And you know, I can understand that from a fan standpoint,
12:05
Speaker 1: and we wanted to make sure, you know that we
12:07
Speaker 1: were able to earn you know, the right you know,
12:10
Speaker 1: or earn their respect and earn you know, the point
12:13
Speaker 1: of being able to have a home field advantage, because
12:16
Speaker 1: I do believe you have to earn that, and you know,
12:18
Speaker 1: our players brought into it and they worked their butts off,
12:21
Speaker 1: and um, we appreciate the support that we had and
12:24
Speaker 1: we're excited about UH Sunday and seeing that support because
12:27
Speaker 1: that support, you know, can can can change games at times.
12:31
Speaker 1: It's difficult to go on the road, you know, for
12:33
Speaker 1: teams that like for us when we go on the
12:35
Speaker 1: road and some stadiums and you know, our fans are
12:38
Speaker 1: great and we feel that, you know, the way we
12:39
Speaker 1: play the game on the field, the tough, the physical
12:43
Speaker 1: you know, the things that we talk about and try
12:46
Speaker 1: to do on Sunday is a good reflection of what
12:49
Speaker 1: you know this city is. It's just resilient, it's tough,
12:52
Speaker 1: it's you know, a bunch of just hard working people.
12:55
Speaker 1: From outside this building, the reputation of this game is rematch.
12:58
Speaker 1: We want blood. The fan are all excited about a
13:00
Speaker 1: f C Championship game rematch. From inside this building, all
13:04
Speaker 1: the players are saying, this is week two against a
13:06
Speaker 1: tough opponent. Is that how you see this as well?
13:08
Speaker 1: I do from from our our our standpoint, because you know,
13:12
Speaker 1: it's a second game and in the first quarter of
13:14
Speaker 1: the way we present things to the players, Um, you know,
13:18
Speaker 1: it's an a f C opponent. Obviously it's a good opponent.
13:21
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's the right mindset. Now outside
13:24
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna, you know, talk about that, but it's it's
13:27
Speaker 1: it is really a different team, a different year, different chemistry,
13:31
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of things that that that changed
13:34
Speaker 1: from year to year. I think it's it's great from
13:36
Speaker 1: the fans perspective, you know what I'm saying, to be
13:38
Speaker 1: able to talk about that and do that. But you know,
13:41
Speaker 1: for us, you know, we've got to go out and prepare.
13:43
Speaker 1: We've got to be ready to go, and um, you know,
13:45
Speaker 1: we're excited about it. It seems recalling the a f
13:48
Speaker 1: C title game, but against Tom Brady, you've got to
13:52
Speaker 1: be where you're supposed to be at all times. Right.
13:54
Speaker 1: The margin of error against that quarterback is smaller than
13:57
Speaker 1: against most other quarterbacks, isn't it. Well, I think because
14:00
Speaker 1: obviously you know, they they really thrive on, you know,
14:03
Speaker 1: when you make mistakes and they make you pay for it,
14:05
Speaker 1: whether it be um maybe not being in the proper position,
14:09
Speaker 1: or maybe it's you know, you you create a penalty
14:13
Speaker 1: against yourselves and put you in a in a tougher position.
14:16
Speaker 1: It leaves things more open for him and it becomes
14:18
Speaker 1: more difficult to um, you know, attack them, which in
14:22
Speaker 1: several way so you know they they've done a good job.
14:26
Speaker 1: And a lot of times when you play him, it's
14:28
Speaker 1: a team that really makes the least amount of mistakes
14:30
Speaker 1: and um, the team that obviously you know, wins the
14:33
Speaker 1: turnover battle and the team that's able to finish and execute,
14:37
Speaker 1: you know, at a high level. And I know you
14:38
Speaker 1: might say that each week, but I think you're right.
14:40
Speaker 1: I think against this team, you know, your margin of
14:43
Speaker 1: error um decreases, as it does with any good football team. Well,
14:46
Speaker 1: I mean this has been a really good team for
14:48
Speaker 1: a really long time. But it seems they don't blow
14:51
Speaker 1: people out. It's a fourth quarter game with those guys.
14:53
Speaker 1: If they have the ball in the second quarter, in
14:55
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, you know, they they're gonna probably you know,
14:57
Speaker 1: they score. And I think that's something that's a credit,
15:01
Speaker 1: uh to them. I think when you know, you look
15:03
Speaker 1: at you know, two minute offenses over the last you know,
15:06
Speaker 1: fifteen years old or Tommy Brady's career, you know, is
15:10
Speaker 1: there really anyone that's that's performed you know, better than
15:13
Speaker 1: he has? And you know that's you know, we have
15:15
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for that, and you know it's
15:17
Speaker 1: gonna be a great challenge for us. You were with
15:19
Speaker 1: the Jets when Brady really got it going at the
15:23
Speaker 1: start of his career start. Did you at that point
15:27
Speaker 1: I have a chance to watch him enough on coaching
15:28
Speaker 1: offensive line, but did you watch him enough to comment
15:31
Speaker 1: on maybe how he's changed and grown since that early time? Well,
15:35
Speaker 1: I just remember, uh, you know what I remember is
15:39
Speaker 1: is back back then, you know, I think Blitzo was
15:42
Speaker 1: the quarterback, I think prior to him. And I just
15:45
Speaker 1: remember obviously, you know, I worked with the D line
15:48
Speaker 1: a coach every time, and I remember when when Drew
15:51
Speaker 1: was there, our D line, our D line players, you know,
15:54
Speaker 1: we had you know, uh, Abraham and Ellis and those guys,
15:57
Speaker 1: they were they were always excited, you know, because they
16:00
Speaker 1: knew Drew was a big arm guy and you know
16:02
Speaker 1: it's going to take a deep drop and so you
16:04
Speaker 1: could always tell, you know, those guys are practice harder
16:06
Speaker 1: because they thought they can get you know, more sex
16:08
Speaker 1: that game. And then then they transitioned to Tommy, and um,
16:12
Speaker 1: you know, then all of a sudden, the balls out
16:14
Speaker 1: quick and it's going there and it's pinpoint accuracy and
16:16
Speaker 1: things of that nature. And you can see it, um,
16:19
Speaker 1: you know, starting to develop. But I didn't have a
16:22
Speaker 1: crystal ball where I would be able to say, hey, listen,
16:24
Speaker 1: you know whatever, sixteen seventeen years or now, this is
16:27
Speaker 1: where he'd be. But um, it doesn't surprise me because
16:31
Speaker 1: of his uh you know, he's such a a great competitor,
16:35
Speaker 1: you know, and and and you know he's truly football
16:38
Speaker 1: all the time, and um, you know, and it and
16:41
Speaker 1: it shows and he has. Obviously he has talent. It's
16:44
Speaker 1: funny you were asked this week about when the Patriots
16:46
Speaker 1: coming to this building on Sunday, is there gonna be
16:48
Speaker 1: an aura about them? Are you gonna know they're here?
16:50
Speaker 1: And you said no, They're just a good football team.
16:52
Speaker 1: Why do you think that is that all media members
16:55
Speaker 1: and fans think that when the Patriots come to town
16:57
Speaker 1: there's this aura about them. Well, I think I think
16:59
Speaker 1: one is when you win a lot of football games,
17:01
Speaker 1: and you win as many Super Bowls that they have.
17:03
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, you know, when you're on
17:05
Speaker 1: the outside, I think it's it's well deserved that people
17:08
Speaker 1: on the outside, you know, perceive them that way. And
17:12
Speaker 1: you know, I think for us having practiced against them,
17:14
Speaker 1: you know, last year and haven't played him in the
17:16
Speaker 1: ANFC Championship game and coming in again, you know, I
17:19
Speaker 1: think that you know it as you know. I don't
17:21
Speaker 1: want to say that you know, we know them, they
17:22
Speaker 1: know us type thing, but I think you're familiar with
17:25
Speaker 1: it um and and because of that, I think that
17:28
Speaker 1: you're able to go out there and compete. And I
17:29
Speaker 1: think as professional athletes, I think you have to do that.
17:32
Speaker 1: You know, each week whether whether it's a player that
17:35
Speaker 1: has an or about them or a team that does. Um.
17:38
Speaker 1: You know, it's one of those things that when you
17:39
Speaker 1: look at them and you're watching them all week, you
17:41
Speaker 1: can see the good. You can see where maybe, hey, listen,
17:44
Speaker 1: we have an advantage. Let's take advantage of this, and
17:46
Speaker 1: then you get out there and you execute the plan.
17:49
Speaker 1: You know, we talked earlier about a six game home
17:51
Speaker 1: winning streak um and how the players have earned that.
17:54
Speaker 1: They've earned these bigger games this year. You have the
17:57
Speaker 1: CBS number one crew in here this week, the attention
18:00
Speaker 1: of the nation for Week two. You've got a big
18:03
Speaker 1: game against the Steelers later in the year on national TV.
18:07
Speaker 1: Are you interested in how your team handles it? No?
18:09
Speaker 1: Uh no, no, I'm not focused on the things that
18:13
Speaker 1: are going on on the outside as much and or
18:16
Speaker 1: things that you know, basically you can't control, you know what,
18:19
Speaker 1: what we try to control the things that we can
18:21
Speaker 1: do while we're here. I mean, you know, here, we
18:23
Speaker 1: are sitting on a Friday morning, and you know, my
18:25
Speaker 1: mind is not until Sunday yet. My mind is Okay, listen,
18:28
Speaker 1: this is what our goals are today. This is what
18:30
Speaker 1: we have to get done. In practice, this is what
18:32
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to execute, you know, this is what
18:34
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to do after we leave this building.
18:37
Speaker 1: So you know my mind, you know, the way the
18:39
Speaker 1: way I approach it, in the way I approach it
18:41
Speaker 1: with the team is, you know, we we try to
18:43
Speaker 1: focus on on what we're doing at at the exact
18:46
Speaker 1: time and make sure that we we put the work
18:49
Speaker 1: in and do everything we possibly can to be the
18:52
Speaker 1: best at that time, whatever it is during the week,
18:54
Speaker 1: so that we have an opportunity on Sunday to perform. Well,
18:57
Speaker 1: I wasn't surprised because I think you told us at
19:00
Speaker 1: the owners meetings about your super Bowl story about how
19:02
Speaker 1: you didn't watch the super Bowl. But the New England
19:04
Speaker 1: writers were stunned at that this week. Uh yeah, and
19:07
Speaker 1: our viewers probably haven't seen that story. I didn't watch
19:10
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, never have watched the Super Bowl. I'm
19:12
Speaker 1: in and that, yeah, I mean, well, you know, I mean,
19:15
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm kind of in and out. You know,
19:17
Speaker 1: it's not like it's not like the World Series or
19:21
Speaker 1: I'll sit down and and and really watch every single
19:24
Speaker 1: pitch and every single bat and see how they're gonna
19:26
Speaker 1: strategically go after everyone. You know, I'll do that. I
19:30
Speaker 1: think for me, you know, because I'm I'm in this profession,
19:33
Speaker 1: what happens to me is is it's a reminder of
19:36
Speaker 1: of for me of how I failed and and I
19:39
Speaker 1: and I really look at it that way, and and
19:42
Speaker 1: and when that games on, I think to myself, you know,
19:44
Speaker 1: you know, I wish I could have done a better job,
19:46
Speaker 1: But where could I have done a better job? And
19:48
Speaker 1: you know, so there's a lot of mixed emotion for me.
19:50
Speaker 1: It's not that I don't like it or I'm away
19:53
Speaker 1: from it or or that it's just that, you know,
19:55
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of the way I'm I'm I'm wound,
19:58
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm you know, like like people say,
20:01
Speaker 1: you know, I've got some issues and you know, and
20:04
Speaker 1: you know, and and one of them is I don't
20:06
Speaker 1: like I don't I don't like to fail. And and
20:09
Speaker 1: you know, you're in this profession, you're coaching this league
20:11
Speaker 1: to be in the super Bowl, and you know, I don't.
20:14
Speaker 1: I can't enjoy a game where you know, I had
20:17
Speaker 1: an opportunity to to to be in and I didn't
20:20
Speaker 1: get there. So I think it's it's more of that
20:22
Speaker 1: than it is anything else. And you know, you know, hey,
20:25
Speaker 1: I will you know. And plus there's always you know,
20:27
Speaker 1: like Bill O'Brien is one of my good friends obviously
20:30
Speaker 1: with the Texans. He's the first one to call me.
20:32
Speaker 1: You know. He's like, you know, you're so full of
20:34
Speaker 1: you know, He's like, you remember we went to coach
20:36
Speaker 1: O Leary's party when we were coaching at Georgia Tech
20:39
Speaker 1: and watch the San Francisco San Diego game. I'm like,
20:41
Speaker 1: I don't. Okay, fine, go ahead, broadcasting three years ago.
20:45
Speaker 1: I don't remember yesterday. Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean
20:48
Speaker 1: but um no, I mean I'm I'm I'm in and
20:50
Speaker 1: out on I don't. I don't watch it like I
20:52
Speaker 1: think fans watch it. I don't plan the day like
20:54
Speaker 1: people do. And I think it's a great day. I
20:56
Speaker 1: really do, um, you know, for the teams and the
20:58
Speaker 1: fans that are in it. But again, like I'd rather
21:01
Speaker 1: be on the sideline. Uh, you will be watching high
21:03
Speaker 1: school football to night right, absolutely? And did you say
21:06
Speaker 1: volleyball to volleyball of five? How do you manage all
21:09
Speaker 1: of that? No? I think you know it's it's it's
21:12
Speaker 1: good for me it's a chance to you know, you know,
21:14
Speaker 1: see my children compete, and you know, I appreciate that.
21:18
Speaker 1: My my wife heal and she does obviously a great job,
21:20
Speaker 1: you know, taking the kids around as many parents do.
21:23
Speaker 1: And I like, you know, I look at all these
21:25
Speaker 1: parents and I'm like, holy cow, you know, they do
21:28
Speaker 1: a lot, and you know, our time is so limited
21:30
Speaker 1: and and um, you know, it's one of the things
21:32
Speaker 1: I've never I didn't do a good job before, and
21:34
Speaker 1: I try to concentrate that if I do have that time,
21:36
Speaker 1: you know, I do try to get there and be
21:38
Speaker 1: able to support them and see them because you know
21:41
Speaker 1: they've supported They're part of this life too, you know,
21:44
Speaker 1: for any of us that are in this building, coaches,
21:46
Speaker 1: I mean coaches, wives, coaches, children, you know, people that
21:49
Speaker 1: are on our side, you know, the building, or the
21:51
Speaker 1: people that are out there on game day. For all
21:53
Speaker 1: these teams, they you know, they go through a lot.
21:56
Speaker 1: They they go through the wins and losses and the
21:58
Speaker 1: disappointments and the triumph just like everyone else. So you know,
22:02
Speaker 1: I understand that, you know from a family perspective that
22:05
Speaker 1: it's it's it's probably a little bit more difficult on them,
22:08
Speaker 1: like fans because they feel like, you know, they can't
22:10
Speaker 1: really do anything to change it. And um, you know,
22:13
Speaker 1: whereas we have that ability, you know, making the decisions.
22:17
Speaker 1: So I think I have a good understanding of how
22:19
Speaker 1: people feel when we don't perform well and and and
22:22
Speaker 1: what it means to a lot of people. Well, you
22:23
Speaker 1: got home at home, right home tonight and home on Sunday,
22:27
Speaker 1: as opposed to a long road trip you had last week,
22:29

Speaker 1: luck tonight, all right, and obviously thanks for your time. Great,

24:08
Speaker 1: d I A bank Field four five kickoff. Most of
24:12
Speaker 1: the nation will see it. You will on CBS. And
24:15
Speaker 1: if you were here at the stadium from what I
24:18
Speaker 1: gathered talking to people, UM, lots of Patriots parents, by
24:21
Speaker 1: the way, have reached out this week. Hey, if you
24:23
Speaker 1: come across any tickets, Oh yeah, there might just be
24:26
Speaker 1: too sitting here or there. I'bvious grabbing for you. Yeah,
24:29
Speaker 1: no problem, yeah, without any doubt. Um, if you don't
24:32
Speaker 1: have tickets, good luck. Yeah, unless John, you have an
24:36
Speaker 1: extra pair of here, I do not Ah, we were
24:39
Speaker 1: counting on you. My four are spoken four. Ah, you're
24:45
Speaker 1: a man of few words today. Are you okay? Ready
24:48
Speaker 1: for the second half? You're born ready? All right? I
24:50
Speaker 1: am ready for the second He's just focused A well,
24:53
Speaker 1: let's h let's go to he will He won't. He might,
24:56
Speaker 1: but we'll segment. We call age three three, John kick
25:00
Speaker 1: it off three? Mind's Jalen Ramsey. Uh, he will be
25:11
Speaker 1: a big factor in this game. Uh, he won't. And
25:15
Speaker 1: why would be a big factor in this game? Well,
25:17
Speaker 1: because you have to go away from him if you're
25:22
Speaker 1: the Patriots. We have to try to go away from
25:24
Speaker 1: the Patriots. The reason I skimmed over he will is
25:28
Speaker 1: he won't do what everybody's expecting to do, which is
25:31
Speaker 1: cover Grumkowski all over the field. That's what people want
25:35
Speaker 1: to see. They want to see it because of Jalen's comments.
25:38
Speaker 1: Um but I should have figured it out based on
25:40
Speaker 1: last week. I mean, he wasn't on Beckham the whole game.
25:42
Speaker 1: I right, But this is different. I mean he wasn't
25:44
Speaker 1: on Beckham the whole game because they needed to play
25:48
Speaker 1: zone some in that game because of what happened when
25:51
Speaker 1: they tried to play man. There was a lot of
25:53
Speaker 1: screening going on. They had ways to get Jalen off
25:56
Speaker 1: of Odell Beckham Jr. So that's why they went zone
25:59
Speaker 1: so much. Is it's hard to play man the entire
26:02
Speaker 1: game with the other team knows you're playing man. He
26:05
Speaker 1: might though, be on him in the key situations, and
26:09
Speaker 1: I think that's where this matchup is going to become key.
26:11
Speaker 1: I think he will be on him enough to be
26:13
Speaker 1: a factor. I think he's gonna be a big matchup
26:16
Speaker 1: and he might get a pick in that situation that
26:18
Speaker 1: completely changes how the Patriots think. When the Patriots go
26:22
Speaker 1: to Gronk, it's that Ason the Whole type field where
26:27
Speaker 1: we know that we've got this thing that you cannot stop.
26:31
Speaker 1: It's a key situation kinding. They throw it up to
26:33
Speaker 1: him and assume he's going to make the play. If
26:36
Speaker 1: Jalen is in a situation where he takes that Ason
26:39
Speaker 1: the Hole away from them, I think they can get
26:42
Speaker 1: very lost on offense without that right now because of
26:45
Speaker 1: the state of their receivers. And you think he's going
26:46
Speaker 1: to be critical to this game, even though it's not
26:48
Speaker 1: gonna be a one on one all the time matchup.
26:50
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman suspended the first four games, Danny Amondola, who
26:55
Speaker 1: beat the Jaguars last year. Let's be honest in Miami, right,
26:58
Speaker 1: So Chris Hogan has stepped up into a starting role,
27:01
Speaker 1: and Philip Dorsett who made a big catch a thirty
27:03
Speaker 1: one yard catching that ball game in the a f
27:05
Speaker 1: C Championship game. But these are not receivers. It's not
27:09
Speaker 1: all that different than some of the receiving combinations the
27:11
Speaker 1: Jags had back in twelve thirteen, you know, before Alan
27:14
Speaker 1: Robinson and Alan Hearns arrived in North East League, you remember,
27:17
Speaker 1: but you got Tom Brady throwing Braham, which changes the
27:20
Speaker 1: dynamic significantly. He met Kerry Coleman will probably be on
27:24
Speaker 1: the field this week, wouldn't you think Corey Coleman, Corey
27:26
Speaker 1: Coleman any sign and it's twin carry. Yes, they'll figure
27:33
Speaker 1: out a way to get some production out of guys
27:36
Speaker 1: you haven't heard of, because that's what they do. But
27:38
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a thin, a tight game in
27:41
Speaker 1: the second half where the Patriots are gonna have third nights.
27:45
Speaker 1: Jars defense is good, They're gonna have key moments that
27:47
Speaker 1: they have to go to. I anticipate the Jars putting
27:50
Speaker 1: Jalen on him in the key moments, and uh, that's
27:54
Speaker 1: where the one. It might be four or five plays.
27:57
Speaker 1: But if it's a situation where they are trying to
28:00
Speaker 1: go to Gronk when they feel like they have nothing
28:02
Speaker 1: else and Jalen shuts that down all of a sudden,
28:05
Speaker 1: it tips the scales heavily in favor of the Jaguars.
28:07
Speaker 1: If Jalen pulls that off, which I think he will,
28:09
Speaker 1: don't you think that they will make them feel like
28:12
Speaker 1: they have nothing else more often than not. With the
28:15
Speaker 1: state of the Jags defensive backs against the Patriots, should yeah,
28:20
Speaker 1: And I think that's why you may see more zone
28:24
Speaker 1: than fans love, because it keeps it keeps things in
28:27
Speaker 1: front of him. Uh. It prevents you from being able
28:31
Speaker 1: to use those screenplays which you know Belichick has in
28:35
Speaker 1: where they pick a guy off and all of a
28:36
Speaker 1: sudden have a guy that you wouldn't think could run
28:38
Speaker 1: free running free because he's basically been blocked off, which
28:41
Speaker 1: is legal close to the line. So I think you
28:43
Speaker 1: will see some zones so that Jaguars can use their
28:45
Speaker 1: athleticism in the back seven. All right, Ashley, Mine is
28:48
Speaker 1: Miles Jack none other the man of the week. He
28:51
Speaker 1: will treat this like the biggest week of his life.
28:53
Speaker 1: He said that this week, that this is the biggest
28:55
Speaker 1: week of his life. I think he takes advantage of
28:58
Speaker 1: the spotlight. The Miles Jack wasn't down coming off a
29:01
Speaker 1: big game against the Giants. I think he keeps the
29:03
Speaker 1: momentum going. He won't make this about him now. When
29:06
Speaker 1: remember they talked about the Miles Jack wasn't down. They
29:09
Speaker 1: tried to make it about him. He said, yeah, that
29:11
Speaker 1: was cool, but this is about the team. This is
29:12
Speaker 1: the team game eleven on eleven. This is a big
29:15
Speaker 1: week for us, and he might have another game where
29:17
Speaker 1: he is the key defensive player of the game. Well,
29:20
Speaker 1: takeaway would be big. He has three consecutive games with
29:22
Speaker 1: the takeaway, so that would be a big thing to
29:25
Speaker 1: see from him. This steam would erupt. We talked, We
29:28
Speaker 1: talked all off season about him erupting, him emerging as
29:32
Speaker 1: a star performer. He certainly has. Yeah, that's that one
29:38
Speaker 1: better too. He actually has four straight games where he's
29:40
Speaker 1: caused a takeaway. If you remember very key play against
29:44
Speaker 1: Buffalo last year, Eric Colevin gets the pick, he zipped it.
29:47
Speaker 1: Miles Jack gets the deflection. He has had an unbelievable
29:49
Speaker 1: knack lately of having his hands on the ball in
29:52
Speaker 1: incredibly big situations for this team. Should have had really
29:57
Speaker 1: in the in the last four Jaguars games, a game
30:01
Speaker 1: turning momentum play that they probably wouldn't have won the
30:03
Speaker 1: game without because he wasn't there, all right, anything else
30:07
Speaker 1: on Myles Jack got that. That's just that's gonna be
30:10
Speaker 1: beat over the head. So, I mean, Sunday it is
30:12
Speaker 1: going to be in every corner of the stadium in
30:14
Speaker 1: so many clever and creative ways. I don't even know.
30:19
Speaker 1: The broadcast crew will have a field They could fill
30:22
Speaker 1: thirty minutes of their pregame show just about that. And
30:24
Speaker 1: here's the thing about it, that it's gonna get played
30:26
Speaker 1: in some circles like it's a looking back thing. But
30:30
Speaker 1: if you've been around this town, it lost the feel
30:34
Speaker 1: of bitterness very early on, and it's much more of
30:38
Speaker 1: a rallying cry. I mean, and I'm only saying because
30:41
Speaker 1: maybe some people are watching it that haven't followed the
30:43
Speaker 1: Jags a whole lot. It's not a bitter woe is
30:46
Speaker 1: us thing. It's it's had a fun feel of you know,
30:53
Speaker 1: we should have been there, But it's a rallying cry
30:56
Speaker 1: more than it is a you should have want I
30:59
Speaker 1: mean should have one. Yeah, I mean it started there,
31:03
Speaker 1: but it's a fun thing and it's come to embody
31:07
Speaker 1: the spirit of resurgence to me more than it is
31:10
Speaker 1: looking back. I think it just unites the fan base
31:13
Speaker 1: more than anything. It's uh, it's the Jaguars version of
31:17
Speaker 1: a terrible towel. This week, they'll be swinging it all
31:19
Speaker 1: over the place. Yeah, right, straight facts. Every time my
31:23
Speaker 1: kid and I talked about it, we'll talk about it
31:26
Speaker 1: at the end. You know, he really wasn't down. So yeah, anyway, Okay, Um,
31:34
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on the offensive side of the ball
31:36
Speaker 1: and go with Austin Seferian Jenkins, and I say he
31:40
Speaker 1: will be the guy who's the difference maker for the offense.
31:45
Speaker 1: He'll convert on third down. He's the guy who will
31:48
Speaker 1: take over that Allen Robinson rule when a rob was
31:51
Speaker 1: in in fifteen and sixteen, when he was playing well
31:54
Speaker 1: and third and eight. He's got the big body, he's
31:57
Speaker 1: got the long reach, he can go up and get it.
31:59
Speaker 1: He will be a factor for Blake Bortles this week. Um,
32:03
Speaker 1: he won't drop passes. In talking to him this week
32:06
Speaker 1: into the locker room afterwards, it's way too important to him.
32:09
Speaker 1: He understands why he was brought here, the situation that
32:12
Speaker 1: they use him in, and you know, he went through
32:16
Speaker 1: the effort to go to the quarterback meetings. He told
32:19
Speaker 1: us to understand the offense better. Right, and he told
32:22
Speaker 1: us in a production meeting that in seeing how Blake
32:26
Speaker 1: sees the field and knowing how Nate Hackett is trying
32:29
Speaker 1: to set things up, he's able to be more productive.
32:32
Speaker 1: So he Uh, he won't drop passes this week. He'll
32:36
Speaker 1: make plays. Uh, he might make the game winning touchdown catch.
32:39
Speaker 1: He might be that guy in the key situation because
32:42
Speaker 1: I just see, especially with the uncertainty around Leonard for
32:47
Speaker 1: Net and the I don't want to say inability, but
32:51
Speaker 1: the receivers were inconsistent last week. Austin Severian Jenkins has
32:55
Speaker 1: proven that he can play at a high level, and uh,
32:59
Speaker 1: he might play the high level on Sday. Here's what
33:01
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for from him, Ran and it's not necessarily
33:03
Speaker 1: waiting for from him, uh, but waiting for from the offense.
33:08
Speaker 1: You've seen even in preseason, Uh, how they've used him
33:12
Speaker 1: a little bit a lot of misdirection. Let's play action
33:17
Speaker 1: over here and get him one on one with a
33:19
Speaker 1: linebacker on the other side of the field out It's
33:23
Speaker 1: it's been a staple their offense so far as uh,
33:25
Speaker 1: part of the run pass option of them trying to
33:28
Speaker 1: get guys outside one on one on linebackers. You haven't
33:32
Speaker 1: seen him a whole lot with that traditional tight end feel,
33:36
Speaker 1: fifteen yards over the middle, making the big catch with
33:39
Speaker 1: the safety behind him kind of play. Um. He can
33:43
Speaker 1: do that. So you wonder if this isn't the week,
33:46
Speaker 1: if if that isn't a wrinkle that they start to
33:49
Speaker 1: show of Okay, we've done this and we know that
33:52
Speaker 1: we can get him on the edge. Uh, are there
33:55
Speaker 1: other wrinkles, other routes that they're gonna show. We'll see.
33:59
Speaker 1: All right, we move on from he three, which is
34:01
Speaker 1: what we now call it John three. Yeah, Yes, we
34:03
Speaker 1: did to feature games. This is a game every week.
34:07
Speaker 1: We'll pick one. Each of us will bring one in,
34:10
Speaker 1: sell it as to why it's important, and then make
34:11
Speaker 1: a prediction. So, John, why don't you go first? Well,
34:14
Speaker 1: I probably botched this because I'm so far behind in
34:16
Speaker 1: Fantasy after Week one that embarrassing because you and I
34:20
Speaker 1: chose the same game, and so then I had to switch.
34:22
Speaker 1: So you chose a good one. Yeah, and I might
34:26
Speaker 1: have gone with last night's game, except it's last night's game. Uh.
34:30
Speaker 1: That thought going in the last night's game Cincinnati and
34:32
Speaker 1: Baltimore was going to show a lot about the North
34:36
Speaker 1: um Kancity Pittsburgh. To me, it's too early to say
34:41
Speaker 1: that the winner of this game and loser is going
34:44
Speaker 1: to be out and all that. But it's big for
34:46
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh because Kansas City is hot. They came in, they
34:50
Speaker 1: have an offense that makes you think they can go
34:53
Speaker 1: toe to toe and win in a shootout. And Pittsburgh
34:58
Speaker 1: oh and one, you don't want to go oh one
35:01
Speaker 1: and one with a loss at home to a has
35:05
Speaker 1: a chance to be in that mix with the wild card.
35:09
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go Pittsburgh here, but I'm
35:12
Speaker 1: not gonna love it. And uh because Pittsburgh smells a
35:17
Speaker 1: little bit to me like a team that maybe teams
35:20
Speaker 1: are figuring out how to score enough on them. Uh,
35:24
Speaker 1: the Jaguars did it. I think we'll find out a
35:26
Speaker 1: lot about their defense this week. Historically, Pittsburgh punches people
35:31
Speaker 1: in the mouth in games like this where people are
35:33
Speaker 1: doubting them a little bit. Well, they did last year
35:35
Speaker 1: because they could beat by the jag Wars and they
35:37
Speaker 1: went to Kansas City and punched them in the So
35:39
Speaker 1: historically they if the Steelers are the Steelers, they win
35:43
Speaker 1: this game, and I think I think they'll figure out
35:46
Speaker 1: way to still be the Steelers. I think it also
35:48
Speaker 1: is Pittsburgh. When you look back last week with the
35:51
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns game ending in that tie, we said, who
35:53
Speaker 1: does it hurt worse? Does it hurt the Cleveland Browns
35:55
Speaker 1: because they didn't win, or does it hurt the Steelers
35:57
Speaker 1: because they lost the Cleveland Browns. I'll take Kansas City.
36:00
Speaker 1: Um No, Levian Bell Roethlisburger's elbow, Yeah, he has not
36:04
Speaker 1: practiced this week, So I'll go Kansas City in the upset.
36:08
Speaker 1: That got something going right now with Mahomes and Tyreek Hill.
36:10
Speaker 1: What's your game? My name is Minnesota Vikings and the
36:13
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. Now, I think this is exciting because one,
36:16
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is questionable, and two because you looked at
36:19
Speaker 1: that Green Bay Packers game last week and how sensational
36:22
Speaker 1: that was. Any of the Minnesota Vikings, who were the
36:24
Speaker 1: number one defense in the league last week, and we
36:26
Speaker 1: saw how they operate. We went up there for training
36:29
Speaker 1: camp and they're just a really fun team to watch.
36:31
Speaker 1: With me, I'm taking Minnesota one because of Aaron Rodgers
36:34
Speaker 1: into because of that defense. John Minnesota winsday game by
36:38
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, and I say Minnesota as well. And I
36:42
Speaker 1: before we get to Tracy Wilson, who joins us in
36:45
Speaker 1: just a moment, I picked, uh, Houston and Tennessee. Obviously
36:50
Speaker 1: a division game. You have an injured Marcus Mariota. You
36:53
Speaker 1: have a Deshaun Watson coming back from the injury. Uh.
36:57
Speaker 1: He was hit a lot last week the Tech. Since
37:00
Speaker 1: our offensive line took the hit, they lost Chantrell Henderson.
37:03
Speaker 1: Their offensive line truly is not better than it was
37:06
Speaker 1: last year. That's a problem for them. So I'm gonna
37:09
Speaker 1: go with the Titans in this one. In a must
37:11
Speaker 1: win game. They don't want to fall to Owen two.
37:15
Speaker 1: Neither team wants to fall to Owen two. But I
37:17
Speaker 1: think the Titans at home, they get Mariota back, apparently
37:20
Speaker 1: he's got more feeling in his hand. Now I'll go
37:22
Speaker 1: with the Titans. What I'm sorry sho, go ahead, go ahead.
37:27
Speaker 1: I agree with the Titans. I think with Houston all
37:29
Speaker 1: the injuries they have now, Tennessee has some injuries as well,
37:31
Speaker 1: but I think home field advantage is good for them.
37:34
Speaker 1: This is a red flag game for Tennessee if they lose.
37:36
Speaker 1: If they lose this one at home after losing to
37:38
Speaker 1: Mammy team, that I'm not sure. He's great. It might
37:40
Speaker 1: not be good. Um So I think the Texans are
37:44
Speaker 1: gonna win it, uh because I I just think they're
37:49
Speaker 1: further ahead right now, and I think they're they're in
37:51
Speaker 1: trouble getting started under Rabel on Tennessee. All right, there
37:54
Speaker 1: you go. Featured games for this week. We'll let you
37:56
Speaker 1: know last week. Who wanted time now to welcome the
37:58
Speaker 1: sideline reporter for CBS Sports number one team in the NFL,
38:02
Speaker 1: Tracy Wolfson. Who, Tracy, you haven't done a game in Jacksonville?
38:06
Speaker 1: Have you? You've done Jacksonville games, but you haven't done
38:08
Speaker 1: a game here, have you. I have done some Jacksonville games.
38:12
Speaker 1: I think I was here. We were here last year maybe,
38:15
Speaker 1: uh oh the playoff game. You were here for the
38:17
Speaker 1: playoff game last year? Yeah, we were definitely well welcome,
38:21
Speaker 1: But you know from college. I've been in Jacksonville for
38:24
Speaker 1: a long time. Yeah. Absolutely, It's just that the Jaguars
38:27
Speaker 1: or have not been a staple with the number one
38:29
Speaker 1: team with CBS for a while, so it kind of
38:30
Speaker 1: feels new. No, And I don't think we're going to
38:33
Speaker 1: see a scene, you know. I think we'll see a
38:35
Speaker 1: scene on on Sunday that we've never seen before for
38:38
Speaker 1: a regular season game in Jacksonville, and I can't wait.
38:42
Speaker 1: You see the Patriots a lot, obviously because Tom Brady
38:47
Speaker 1: and their incredible extended run of success. Um, just your
38:52
Speaker 1: thoughts on Brady's ability to win no matter who's around him, Tracy.
38:56
Speaker 1: I mean, last year he didn't have Gronkowski, he had
38:59
Speaker 1: to last rated thumb the a f C Championship game
39:01
Speaker 1: against one of the best defenses in football, and he
39:03
Speaker 1: found a way to win. And this year a Mondola's gone,
39:06
Speaker 1: Edelman's down. You know, they're running back by committee because
39:09
Speaker 1: of some of the injuries back there, and yet the
39:11
Speaker 1: guy still finds a way to win it. There's really
39:15
Speaker 1: very few guys in the league like him. Yeah, I
39:17
Speaker 1: don't think there's anyone in the league like him. It's
39:20
Speaker 1: just maybe you could put Aaron Rodgers as we saw
39:23
Speaker 1: last week. But I mean just the way he comes out,
39:26
Speaker 1: the focus that he has, I mean, forty one years old.
39:28
Speaker 1: I have to say when we sat with him in
39:30
Speaker 1: our meetings, he's seen not only as focused as ever,
39:33
Speaker 1: but really in tremendous shape also. So he comes out
39:37
Speaker 1: here and he's just completely confident. He knows what he
39:40
Speaker 1: needs to do. He's always he's always dealt with, you know,
39:43
Speaker 1: changing parts on the offense and having to deal with
39:46
Speaker 1: a suspension and an injury and guys coming in and
39:49
Speaker 1: guy's going out. And that's just the way he's always
39:52
Speaker 1: had to perform when it comes to the New England Patriots,
39:55
Speaker 1: and he's been able to do it and it doesn't matter.
39:57
Speaker 1: And then you know when it comes to these drives
40:00
Speaker 1: at the end of the half, and he always seems
40:02
Speaker 1: to find a way to get into the end zone
40:03
Speaker 1: and then coming from behind as we saw against Jacksonville
40:06
Speaker 1: in the championship game. But it doesn't bother him. It's
40:09
Speaker 1: that that focus that he has and the ability uh
40:13
Speaker 1: to just just win at all costs, And I think
40:18
Speaker 1: that's what's unbelievable. We want to talk about everything that's
40:20
Speaker 1: happened in the offseason or everything that's happened behind closed doors,
40:23
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. You know, his one goal, his one
40:26
Speaker 1: main focus is performing on that football field to the
40:29
Speaker 1: best of his abilities, and he does it so well. Tracy,
40:33
Speaker 1: you said you mentioned that you're here in Jacksonville for
40:35
Speaker 1: the Buffalo playoff game. What did you think of that
40:38
Speaker 1: atmosphere and do you expect it to be bigger this Sunday.
40:41
Speaker 1: I was so impressed by the atmosphere, and I do
40:45
Speaker 1: expect it to be bigger. I've heard that they're taking
40:47
Speaker 1: the torps off, which I think is tremendous. I know
40:49
Speaker 1: they did that in the playoffs, but for a regular
40:51
Speaker 1: season game, UM, I think you can feel the buzz.
40:54
Speaker 1: You can feel the excitement. Uh. You hear the players
40:57
Speaker 1: talking about this game. Um, every one knows, you know,
41:01
Speaker 1: not even what's at stake, because the loss doesn't isn't
41:04
Speaker 1: going to affect them, But it's just a what a
41:07
Speaker 1: win does, what a win can do for this team,
41:10
Speaker 1: for the franchise, for the fan base. UM. So you
41:13
Speaker 1: can feel the buzz already. I haven't even stepped outside
41:15
Speaker 1: my hotel and I can already feel it. With the Patriots,
41:20
Speaker 1: and you said, they're so dominant of conversation we've had
41:23
Speaker 1: all weeks. You know, they don't have a lot of superstars.
41:24
Speaker 1: They have Brady and Gronkowski, but other than that, you
41:27
Speaker 1: look at their roster and you don't really know a
41:28
Speaker 1: lot of ends. But we've said that really doesn't matter
41:31
Speaker 1: for them. You know, we went into last week's game
41:34
Speaker 1: and we said the same thing. You know, what what
41:36
Speaker 1: offense are we going to say? You assume right away
41:38
Speaker 1: they're going to take away Gronk, Right, so if you
41:41
Speaker 1: take away Gronk, which they weren't able to do, Um,
41:44
Speaker 1: you know who who's available for them? And and then
41:47
Speaker 1: we saw after the game, you know, they lose Jeremy
41:49
Speaker 1: Hill to an a c L. He's done for this season.
41:51
Speaker 1: There without Rex burkhead right now, who's in the concussion protocol.
41:54
Speaker 1: I didn't even see that happen. I mean he played
41:56
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. Um, but he's out right now.
41:59
Speaker 1: Who knows. Tony Michelle, their rookie who they were so
42:01
Speaker 1: excited about, um, you know, has also been dealing with
42:05
Speaker 1: a knee injury, and and he has yet to practice
42:08
Speaker 1: fully and so and that's just the running back position.
42:11
Speaker 1: Last week we went in, uh, concerned about the wide
42:14
Speaker 1: receiver position since since training camp. Again they had twenty
42:18
Speaker 1: transactions at the wide receiver position and they had more
42:21
Speaker 1: again this week. So they're still trying to find their way.
42:24
Speaker 1: But you know Tom Brady, he knows, you know, where
42:27
Speaker 1: to go with the football. Of course he looks to
42:30
Speaker 1: to Gronk first, but he's got Hogan, he's got door
42:32
Speaker 1: set and you know they kind of work backwards. What
42:35
Speaker 1: do they need to do in this game? You know,
42:37
Speaker 1: to beat Jacksonville offensively. Um, and that that's gonna be
42:41
Speaker 1: a big key, especially against this defense. Tracy, you've sat
42:45
Speaker 1: down with people from the Patriots over the years. You
42:47
Speaker 1: have an idea about the organization. Uh, how have you
42:50
Speaker 1: seen it change over the years or is it exactly
42:53
Speaker 1: the same as it it's always been since you've been covering.
42:57
Speaker 1: You know what, it's kind of exactly the same. I
43:00
Speaker 1: mean they're very protective. Um, you know, they're not giving
43:03
Speaker 1: things away. Uh. They don't allow you to do a lot.
43:07
Speaker 1: You know, from a reporters standpoint on the sideline, they
43:10
Speaker 1: limit interviews. Um, they're very hush hush. They keep everything
43:14
Speaker 1: inside behind closed doors. I mean you would never see something,
43:18
Speaker 1: you know here, someone like Jalen Ramsey come out and
43:21
Speaker 1: say something from the Patriots. That's just not what they do.
43:24
Speaker 1: They try really hard not to react from it, as
43:27
Speaker 1: we've seen this week from Rob Gronkowski. I didn't interview
43:30
Speaker 1: with him post game, and I asked him specifically about,
43:34
Speaker 1: you know, the trade rumors in the off season and
43:37
Speaker 1: why he stayed and then I asked him about Jill
43:39
Speaker 1: and round Ramsey and he wouldn't let on at all.
43:41
Speaker 1: He changed the topic, he changed the conversation and I
43:43
Speaker 1: actually said him, I love how you changed the the
43:47
Speaker 1: answer on me, and he goes, I've learned for the best.
43:49
Speaker 1: And that's just what the Patriots are, you know. They
43:52
Speaker 1: just they keep everything in the house. Uh, They're they
43:56
Speaker 1: They're just totally focused at all times. It starts from
44:00
Speaker 1: a top um and you we know about Bill Belichick,
44:03
Speaker 1: but it even starts above that and with Craft and
44:06
Speaker 1: Um and I've I've spent a lot of time with
44:08
Speaker 1: Bob Crafts and they are all just the same as
44:11
Speaker 1: they've ever been from the beginning until now. And it
44:14
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what's been happening behind closed doors. We do
44:17
Speaker 1: not see it when we sit down and talk with them,
44:20
Speaker 1: and maybe that's a great model for teams, you know,
44:21
Speaker 1: I mean as much as they won obviously, but how
44:25
Speaker 1: the other side of the coin is you've got this
44:26
Speaker 1: flamboyant defense down here. I mean, you've got a completely
44:29
Speaker 1: different situation. Do you enjoy that? I mean, is it
44:31
Speaker 1: fun for you to have a team like Jacksonville? Okay?
44:34
Speaker 1: I mean and they're new on the scene too, which
44:36
Speaker 1: makes it interesting for people to see it, especially the
44:38
Speaker 1: nation which hasn't got that much of a chance yet.
44:41
Speaker 1: I think it's tremendous. And I love how Dog Moron
44:44
Speaker 1: embraces it. I think that's great. And um yeah, you're
44:48
Speaker 1: you're you know, this is a team that is trying,
44:50
Speaker 1: that's new on the scene and trying to kind of,
44:52
Speaker 1: if you want to say, make a name for themselves, right,
44:55
Speaker 1: And I think that's great. The personalities of this Jaguars
44:59
Speaker 1: defense is what's drives this team, what makes people want
45:02
Speaker 1: to watch. I mean you look at the defense and
45:03
Speaker 1: you go down and you're like stud stud stud stud stud.
45:07
Speaker 1: I mean it's unbelievable. Uh, the talent level out there
45:10
Speaker 1: and the personalities that come with that talent level. And
45:13
Speaker 1: I love it, and it makes it even more exciting
45:15
Speaker 1: going into this game against New England, you know, and
45:17
Speaker 1: let's see what happens, and let's see the trash talk
45:20
Speaker 1: that might happen out on the field, or how Jalen
45:22
Speaker 1: Ramsey if he lines up against Gronk and the reactions,
45:25
Speaker 1: and I think it's tremendous. How much work do you
45:27
Speaker 1: have to do today? What's it Friday like for you? Tracy?
45:30
Speaker 1: Are we going to see you at Stinging Shaggy tonight
45:32
Speaker 1: at Daily's place? People going to see at the concert tonight? No,
45:36
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be at the concert. But we
45:38

48:28
Speaker 1: We're going and get a look at him here after
48:29
Speaker 1: we're done. Uh. Fantasy guru Mike Dempsey joins us now
48:32
Speaker 1: on Fridays to orchestrate a competition of which he's apart
48:37
Speaker 1: Ryan um Ashlyn. As she mentioned, yeats uh, you were second.
48:46
Speaker 1: I think I was third at seven and John was
48:52
Speaker 1: he Mike doesn't even consider that this is so far
48:56
Speaker 1: down Mike's radar in terms of what he cares about.
48:59
Speaker 1: He's got how much going on and I'm not acknowledging
49:04
Speaker 1: the score, but it doesn't really matter. Six times two
49:07
Speaker 1: would be ninety two, which is what Ashland scored week one.
49:10
Speaker 1: I had a strategy. I have a strategy and to it,
49:14
Speaker 1: and that brings us to a key point. There is
49:16
Speaker 1: a strategy to this because there are no wins week
49:18
Speaker 1: to week other than you get draft position if you lose,
49:21
Speaker 1: So that's a win for you. I've got a big
49:24
Speaker 1: time draft position because not lost. But the reality of
49:27
Speaker 1: it is is that she used Darren Rodgers and he
49:30
Speaker 1: had a hell of a game, but you don't get
49:32
Speaker 1: to talk to him again. He's done, see a sister,
49:34
Speaker 1: but his knee might be done. Strategy there's nothing wrong
49:39
Speaker 1: with getting them in early because you make sure you
49:41
Speaker 1: get them in. But claim strategy and he went out
49:44
Speaker 1: of the game. Brian, I'm sure I didn't think it's
49:46
Speaker 1: a great strategy. All right, So here we go. First
49:51
Speaker 1: place chooses last this time correct, and you can't use
49:54
Speaker 1: the same players that you've used in past week. So
49:57
Speaker 1: John the floors. Heres, we've got a quarterback, running back,
50:00
Speaker 1: wide receiver, and tight end to draft. I like Keenan
50:03
Speaker 1: Allen versus Buffalo Keenan Allen. Excellent choice this week, I think, Brian.
50:08
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Eli Manning at quarterback against the
50:14
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense. Interesting one right there. I will take how
50:21
Speaker 1: about Michael Thomas of the New Orleans Saints a wide receiver?
50:26
Speaker 1: So Ashland gets back to back picks here. I will
50:30
Speaker 1: take Melvin Gordon and I will take Philip Rivers. Philip
50:36
Speaker 1: Rivers very nice. Probably my second favorite quarterback this week
50:40
Speaker 1: to Drew Brees, and I will take him now. So Brian,
50:43
Speaker 1: you've got Eli Manning I'm going to go. I'll go
50:49
Speaker 1: with Isaiah Crowell all right for the Jets against the Dolphs.
50:53
Speaker 1: Brian savings some big time players yards last week had
50:57
Speaker 1: a good week last week. You're gonna try to go
51:00
Speaker 1: from some outside the box thinking like in Miami defense
51:02
Speaker 1: that I think is okay, but not I'm with you, John.
51:05
Speaker 1: I like James Conner versus Kansas City because I want
51:08
Speaker 1: to use him because I don't know how long he's
51:10
Speaker 1: gonna last. Very nice and what I do last time
51:14
Speaker 1: wide receivers, running back. So I've got quarterbacks. Um, I'm
51:20
Speaker 1: gonna go Stafford versus he bounces back. This is this
51:23
Speaker 1: one to learn on, John. Everybody else had taken a quarterback,
51:25
Speaker 1: you could have saved that pick for the very last
51:27
Speaker 1: Nobody else could have taken your quarterback from you. Um, Brian,
51:31
Speaker 1: you've got a wide receiver or a tight end here. Um.
51:34
Speaker 1: You know he's doing a lot of talking this week.
51:36
Speaker 1: I like the match up. I'll go with Allen Robinson
51:38
Speaker 1: for the Bears. Robinson, Okay, nobody has taken a tight end.
51:42
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I don't think this is a deep
51:44
Speaker 1: deep cut, but I'm gonna go with George Kittle for
51:46
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers. This is a tough
51:49
Speaker 1: position this year, Ashley. You need your wide receiver and
51:52
Speaker 1: your tight end here. Both you gotta get him both.
51:56
Speaker 1: I'll go Mike Williams and Travis Kelsey. Okay, somebody is
52:01
Speaker 1: going all in on the l A Chargers this week.
52:04
Speaker 1: Exception of Kelsey, I'm gonna go Christian McCaffrey at running back.
52:09
Speaker 1: I had some good games against Atlanta last year, so
52:12
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with that. With a couple of defenders
52:14
Speaker 1: out for the Falcons, Brian need a tight end. Jordan
52:16
Speaker 1: Read for the Redskins every week, I will try to
52:19
Speaker 1: have somebody who's playing against the Colts defense. That's not
52:21
Speaker 1: a bad strategy either, right, and Jordan Read, you'd typically
52:24
Speaker 1: figured at some point get him in now and try
52:27
Speaker 1: that for Uh Well, I was gonna go Read where,
52:31
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to. I'm I'm tempted by a
52:35
Speaker 1: s J. But I'm going Trey Burton. Trey Burton, Okay,
52:38
Speaker 1: hopefully a bounce back game for him. Alright, So John
52:40
Speaker 1: has Matt Stafford, James Conner, Keenan Allen, and Trey Burton.
52:43
Speaker 1: Brian went with Eli Manning, Isaiah Crowell, Allen Robinson, Jordan Read.
52:47
Speaker 1: I have Drew Brees, Christian McCaffrey, Michael Thomas, and George Kittle.
52:50
Speaker 1: And Ashland goes with Philip Rivers and Melvin Gordon, Big,
52:53
Speaker 1: Mike Williams and Travis Kelsey this week for the Chant
52:57
Speaker 1: Week one Chance Take Notes Voice where the Crown While
53:01
Speaker 1: you can't, I hate this game and I hate you.
53:03
Speaker 1: I can't join the club? Uh? Did you come with it?
53:09
Speaker 1: He will? He won't? He I'm glad to hear that.
53:12
Speaker 1: Would Dante Fellar Jr. Good one? He will be fired up,
53:17
Speaker 1: obviously to play right because he's kind of been held
53:20
Speaker 1: back for a variety of reasons his own doing, primarily
53:24
Speaker 1: h He won't being off the field issue the rest
53:27
Speaker 1: of the way, Okay, at least in terms of no suspensions,
53:30
Speaker 1: no miss games because of that kind of behavior. I'm
53:32
Speaker 1: not gonna go with. He won't make any silly penalties
53:36
Speaker 1: in this game and maybe a little over excited. And
53:38
Speaker 1: he might be the key to the defense this week.
53:41
Speaker 1: The pass rush two sacks against Brady in the a
53:43
Speaker 1: s C Championship game, and I think his energy that
53:46
Speaker 1: he brings to get that kind of pressure a Jackson
53:49
Speaker 1: a really good chance. Alright there, you haven't I agree
53:51
Speaker 1: with Mike. I think Dante is the ultimate wild card
53:53
Speaker 1: for this defense this season. Well, he sort of set.
53:56
Speaker 1: He's the guy who runs around with his hair on
53:57
Speaker 1: fire and hair on fire. I agree. Uh, just a
54:01
Speaker 1: general thought in the game. I mean you you've been
54:03
Speaker 1: talking about it all week. Have you felt the buzz
54:06
Speaker 1: from your audience this week? Oh? I mean people have
54:09
Speaker 1: been We felt the buzz about this game for months. Really,
54:11
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's been anticipating. I think this is so
54:14
Speaker 1: difficult to call. I think, you know, I think, like everyone,
54:17
Speaker 1: what is wonder for net gonna do? Is he gonna play?
54:19
Speaker 1: And if he plays, how effective is he gonna be?
54:21
Speaker 1: I think that's a big factor in this game. I
54:23
Speaker 1: think if he plays and he's effective, the Jags win
54:25
Speaker 1: the football game. There you go, Mike Dempson, thanks so much.
