0:32
Speaker 1: I gotta make the most of it. Um, So I'm
0:35
Speaker 1: super grateful for it. But I know, um, you know,

0:53
Speaker 1: Thursday night football went over the Titans. Who welcome you
0:56
Speaker 1: into Jaguars Drive Time Monday Morning, brought to you by
0:59
Speaker 1: Jet Home Loan. It's Monday, but I don't really feel
1:01
Speaker 1: like Monday because we watched football on the couch yesterday.
1:04
Speaker 1: It was a weird feeling. First of all, literally taking
1:07
Speaker 1: over the country because it was all over Pullman, Washington
1:11
Speaker 1: on social media everywhere. Yeah. Wow, Um, I think he
1:16
Speaker 1: was a big deal in Pullman last year because of
1:18
Speaker 1: what he did as the Pack twelve Offensive Player of
1:20
Speaker 1: the Year. Um, I don't think he was quite as
1:22
Speaker 1: big a deal last year as he is this year.
1:25
Speaker 1: Holy cow, that was unbelievable. And I saw another tweet,
1:30
Speaker 1: big Twitter guy that I am this weekend. Well, I
1:32
Speaker 1: don't tweet much, but I do follow people on Twitter.
1:35
Speaker 1: John in particular. I saw a tweet with Clay Thompson
1:39
Speaker 1: of the Golden State Warriors is a Washington State um
1:43
Speaker 1: alum and holding up a gardner Minshew Jersey. That's pretty cool. Yeah,
1:49
Speaker 1: Minshew has got some got some juice. He's got some
1:52
Speaker 1: juice for sure. Yeah. It's almost just surreal feeling because
1:55
Speaker 1: here there's still an element of he's the back up
2:00
Speaker 1: replacing Nick Foles, and you don't know exactly what that's
2:03
Speaker 1: gonna mean. So if you're if you're not paying attention
2:07
Speaker 1: to the mania, you're sort of watching the kid going Okay,
2:10
Speaker 1: what does he what's he doing? Well, what's he not?
2:12
Speaker 1: And that's the football stuff, and then there's the cultural
2:16
Speaker 1: phenomenon stuff going on around it, and the fact that
2:19
Speaker 1: he's got something that, uh, he's good. I mean, I mean,
2:23
Speaker 1: and there's a there's a quarterback thing, a quarterback field
2:27
Speaker 1: this guy has. It's exciting. Uh, I'm getting all kinds
2:30
Speaker 1: of emails, Brian, Well, what's it gonna mean for the few?
2:33
Speaker 1: Worry about the future. In the future, have a quarterback
2:37
Speaker 1: andrey where you've got two guys that you want to play.
2:40
Speaker 1: We've never had that here, right, Please let us have
2:42
Speaker 1: that for a minute. I said to somebody this morning,
2:45
Speaker 1: and then we can get into big things. I said
2:46
Speaker 1: somebody this morning. I wasn't really crazy about, you know,
2:49
Speaker 1: seeing him right after a win, you know, jetting off
2:51
Speaker 1: across the country. I didn't think it was cool that
2:53
Speaker 1: he was received so well. And somebody who's wise said
2:57
Speaker 1: to me who he is? Well, it's who he is.
3:00
Speaker 1: And also they weren't going to be in watching tape.
3:04
Speaker 1: I get that. Well a question, but that shouldn't he
3:06
Speaker 1: have been. That's not what happens. They come to work
3:09
Speaker 1: on Monday after Thursday game. There wasn't gonna be any
3:11
Speaker 1: study over the way, and we had the locker room
3:14
Speaker 1: where Doug said I'll see you guys on Monday. So
3:16
Speaker 1: he had that time off. There's just the you know,
3:18
Speaker 1: the the overachiever in me that says, you know, get
3:21
Speaker 1: back in work hard, take the time and rest. But
3:23
Speaker 1: that's not who he is. You hide that well, ochiever.
3:28
Speaker 1: I am all overachiever pal. All right, let's get into
3:31
Speaker 1: big things. Big Thing one is no news, or at
3:33
Speaker 1: least it wasn't no news over the week, and we
3:35
Speaker 1: didn't hear much about the Jalen Ramsey trade request. But
3:38
Speaker 1: right before the show started, Adam Schefter tweeted this, saying
3:42
Speaker 1: that Jalen Ramsey called the team late last night saying
3:45
Speaker 1: that he was sick and would be unable to practice today.
3:49
Speaker 1: Adam then goes on to tweet more, saying that he
3:52
Speaker 1: might have the flu all week. He's not sure. Sources
3:54
Speaker 1: say that he's dealing with a flu bug. We'll let
3:56
Speaker 1: you decide if that's a coincidence or not. Big Thing
3:59
Speaker 1: too is per sonality. We always thought the personality of
4:01
Speaker 1: this team is to run impound the ball. That wasn't
4:04
Speaker 1: the case on Thursday Night Football. Before Leonard from sixty
4:08
Speaker 1: nine yard run, he had eleven carries for negative eight
4:11
Speaker 1: yards Doug Marrone says, it's a problem and we have
4:13
Speaker 1: to address it, you know obviously with disappointed and we
4:17
Speaker 1: understand we have to run the ball better, right, I mean,
4:19
Speaker 1: so that that's everybody you know that's tight ends, receivers,
4:22
Speaker 1: running backs, everyone's included in that. And Big thing three
4:27
Speaker 1: is you think, you know so quick to write off
4:29
Speaker 1: players like Leon Jacobs, Taven, Brian will Richardson and Duan Smooth.
4:33
Speaker 1: But we talked about how we have to let those
4:35
Speaker 1: players develop. We saw one guy develop on Thursday night,
4:38
Speaker 1: Calais Campbell. What's happy for him? So good? I mean
4:44
Speaker 1: seeing you know, get get the action. You know, we
4:47
Speaker 1: tease him so so hard, you know, for the first
4:49
Speaker 1: two Yearsday's career, because he's been so close a lot
4:51
Speaker 1: of pressures. He just can never get able to hunt.
4:53
Speaker 1: So we best what I'm calling rookie and stuff. But
4:55
Speaker 1: today he was out there playing like a vet, you know,
4:57
Speaker 1: you know, I mean a true vet. You know, were
4:58
Speaker 1: quay great. So the guys, we gotta go back to
5:01
Speaker 1: big thing one. Yeah. Uh. Jalen Ramsey tweets something late
5:06
Speaker 1: last night at two saying that he's up and over
5:09
Speaker 1: all of that. Um now the news about him being
5:11
Speaker 1: sick this week. I don't know what to make out
5:13
Speaker 1: of that. If he is sick, to activate him until
5:16
Speaker 1: he feels better. He feels better, that's fine, right, See,
5:20
Speaker 1: that's this is the only leverage that he has. Um
5:22
Speaker 1: and and let's just make it clear again for people
5:24
Speaker 1: who are wondering. The Jaguars have him this year, they
5:27
Speaker 1: have the fifth year option. Then after the fifth year
5:29
Speaker 1: option they can franchise him in two He has zero
5:34
Speaker 1: leverage except for this. Now. It's interesting because he pledged
5:38
Speaker 1: last Monday when he was here, that he wouldn't be
5:41
Speaker 1: a distraction, that he'd be there a hundred percent. Well,
5:44
Speaker 1: go back and check the tape. But a hundred percent
5:47
Speaker 1: behind his teammates. Behind him means doing what's best for
5:51
Speaker 1: you and staying at home. Now, if he's legitimately sick,
5:55
Speaker 1: but are we behind that this morning? No, because we
5:57
Speaker 1: talked about it. If it's the Jalen Ramsey that we
6:00
Speaker 1: know and he's sick, he's still here. He doesn't have
6:02
Speaker 1: any leverage. This is the only play that he can make.
6:05
Speaker 1: He's making it. Yeah, and yeah, I go back to
6:09
Speaker 1: I want him to be here. I know Jaguars fans
6:12
Speaker 1: love him, I like watching him. I hope he is
6:14
Speaker 1: part of this team going forward. But at some point
6:20
Speaker 1: the all I want to do is win doesn't add
6:25
Speaker 1: up to I want to leave and now I'm sick,
6:29
Speaker 1: so after you gotta win. If he's sick, I I godspeed.
6:37
Speaker 1: I hope he feels better and a chicken soup into death.
6:40
Speaker 1: But if he's not sick, then move on, timer and
6:45
Speaker 1: not move on cut him, but move on. Let's get started.
6:48
Speaker 1: Us prepare. When you're ready to play, we can play. Well.
6:49
Speaker 1: It's pretty clear if the stories are true that they're
6:53
Speaker 1: not they're not in the mode of trading him because
6:56
Speaker 1: they there have been offers something seem like they're good
6:58
Speaker 1: and legitimate. And the story came out and I forget
7:01
Speaker 1: who broke it over the weekend that Mr Khan was
7:03
Speaker 1: willing to make him the highest paid coinner in the game.
7:06
Speaker 1: He goes back to something that I said last week
7:08
Speaker 1: that I believe. I believe that I believe Now I
7:10
Speaker 1: don't think you can make him happy. The offer that
7:13
Speaker 1: I saw said that he would be the highest paid
7:15
Speaker 1: corner in the game. Jalen Ramsey does not want to
7:17
Speaker 1: be the highest paid corner of the game. He wants
7:19
Speaker 1: to be the highest paid player in the game. He
7:21
Speaker 1: wants to be one of those guys that transcend his position,
7:24
Speaker 1: a difference maker. And I think go to the Houston game.
7:29
Speaker 1: They shut down to Shawn Watson because they took DeAndre
7:31
Speaker 1: Hopkins out of the game. Did you see what Watson
7:33
Speaker 1: did to a very good Texans team, I'm sorry, a
7:36
Speaker 1: very good Chargers team yesterday. Three touchdowns, three fifty yards passing.
7:40
Speaker 1: I mean, Jalen Ramsey transcends a lot of that. They're
7:42
Speaker 1: gonna have to pay him more than I think sixteen
7:45
Speaker 1: million would make him the highest paid guy in the game. Um,
7:48
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on right now. This is just it.
7:51
Speaker 1: He has the only leverage he has is to play
7:55
Speaker 1: these games and hope to frustrate them to the point
7:58
Speaker 1: that they go get him out of here and matter what.
8:00
Speaker 1: But you know, October twenty nine, there's the trade deadline
8:03
Speaker 1: and they don't have to trade him. They're in no
8:05
Speaker 1: hurry to do it. They can just keep deactivating him.
8:08
Speaker 1: And something we've talked about, Brian um Shod Khan is
8:13
Speaker 1: not your normal NFL owner. He is not. If it
8:18
Speaker 1: gets into hey, I think you know, blank or whatever
8:22
Speaker 1: it is. Uh. I don't necessarily think Shod Khan is
8:26
Speaker 1: gonna say, hey, just because you want this, it has
8:29
Speaker 1: to happened. Just because this is the norm, it has
8:31
Speaker 1: to happen. I think he'll be very willing. Look, I
8:34
Speaker 1: think this is what's best for the Jaguars, Jalen, and
8:39
Speaker 1: we need to talk. But just because you want X
8:43
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that I'm going to allow X to happen.
8:45
Speaker 1: I think this is what's gonna happen. This is what's best. Well,
8:48
Speaker 1: and I think that his partners, the other owners are
8:51
Speaker 1: quietly applauding to some degree. A lot of them would
8:54
Speaker 1: have traded. And well, you understand, we talked about the
8:58
Speaker 1: NBA circumstances. You had Alan saying he wanted to be traded,
9:01
Speaker 1: and then you had Jamal Adams saying he wanted to
9:04
Speaker 1: be traded, and there were other players that were you know,
9:07
Speaker 1: trade trade, trade. I went out, I went out, I
9:09
Speaker 1: went out. You know, that's NBA kind of stuff. And
9:12
Speaker 1: we talked about how that's detrimental to the NFL. So
9:15
Speaker 1: for Shod holding the line on that, he's saying, hey, look,
9:19
Speaker 1: you signed a contract, Jalen. Right, you sold your rights
9:24
Speaker 1: to us for that contract when you were drafted. We
9:28
Speaker 1: own your rights. You sold them to us. We're not
9:31
Speaker 1: giving them back just because you want them back. As
9:34
Speaker 1: I told my son when he asked for a car
9:36
Speaker 1: on a sixteenth birthday, it's good to want things and
9:38
Speaker 1: both scared. You bet doesn't mean you're gonna get them. Hey,
9:41
Speaker 1: let's go to the last thing real quickly, because I
9:44
Speaker 1: couldn't help a thing there were and Dwan Smooth didn't
9:47
Speaker 1: get a lot of heat, he didn't get a lot
9:48
Speaker 1: of coverage, you know, back up third round pick. People thought, well,
9:52
Speaker 1: I went Smooth going to come on right to sacks
9:54
Speaker 1: the other night, and we had heard throughout camp from
9:56
Speaker 1: Todd Wash and from Doug Moron that he was coming on.
9:59
Speaker 1: But the tap of Brian thing to me was the
10:01
Speaker 1: one that I that I have to point out here
10:03
Speaker 1: because Taven Brian in the middle of the field was
10:06
Speaker 1: incredibly disruptive. He got pressure in the Texans game, but
10:09
Speaker 1: he didn't get a sack, so no one saw it.
10:11
Speaker 1: But he got great pressure on a couple of different
10:13
Speaker 1: occasions and looked like a guy that was getting better.
10:16
Speaker 1: So smooths getting better and Brian is getting better and
10:21
Speaker 1: and Sin he's on injured reserve. He's a bust. He
10:23
Speaker 1: was a fourth round pick. These guys are meant to develop.
10:26
Speaker 1: How many fourth round picks come in and start right away?
10:29
Speaker 1: Plus youa Jeremy Parnell out there last year. Hey, look,
10:32
Speaker 1: development is the key here. Don't be impatient with players
10:35
Speaker 1: because they don't flash and show dominance right away. Some
10:39
Speaker 1: of Mart's supposed to these guys, these young inexpensive guys
10:44
Speaker 1: are critical to the Jaguars effort this year as they
10:47
Speaker 1: go forward. I'll give you another one, and he's going
10:49
Speaker 1: to be critical this weekend. Try Herndon. Trey Herndon is
10:53
Speaker 1: playing some pretty good ball and it appears he's going
10:55
Speaker 1: to get a chance to play healthy as a horse, Brian,
10:58
Speaker 1: Healthy as a horse can suit for him. But I
11:03
Speaker 1: think it. Look, you judge a team on wins and losses,
11:06
Speaker 1: for sure, but you also judge them as they build
11:08
Speaker 1: their roster. And they've got a nice young group of
11:12
Speaker 1: rising talent and Gardner Minshew's part of that obviously, um,
11:15
Speaker 1: but Tavin, Bryan will Richardson dwant smoot. There's probably others.
11:19
Speaker 1: Leon Jacobs. Leon Jacobs. The last two games that was great,
11:24
Speaker 1: but he was all over the field making tackles in Houston,
11:28
Speaker 1: and then last week against Tennessee. Another guy getting better
11:31
Speaker 1: week to week. That is a really good sign for
11:35
Speaker 1: this franchise that those young guys are playing well. You
11:38
Speaker 1: rarely see Moron get excited on the sidelines. I was
11:41
Speaker 1: standing behind him when Dawan Smooth got the sack. He
11:44
Speaker 1: he jumped, he elevated. I've never seen that man's feed
11:47
Speaker 1: off the ground, and he he's been He's been waving
11:50
Speaker 1: that banner about Smooth throughout the off season all the
11:52
Speaker 1: way back to O t a s. He kept telling
11:54
Speaker 1: us Smooths coming on, He's getting better. We didn't see
11:57
Speaker 1: any evidence of that really because they weren't hitting and
12:00
Speaker 1: the preseason was so limited. But we saw all we
12:02
Speaker 1: needed to see on Thursday night. So let's quickly address
12:05
Speaker 1: big thing too. I know you were on the conference
12:08
Speaker 1: call Friday, John W. Dunrone said that we're not getting
12:10
Speaker 1: Leonard for Net a chance at all. How do you
12:13
Speaker 1: fix that problem? Because that's what we thought the personality
12:16
Speaker 1: of this team wasn't It doesn't appear so I always
12:22
Speaker 1: there's no quick fix. There's no Hey, we're gonna insert
12:25
Speaker 1: this year. Uh, they have to continue to get better,
12:28
Speaker 1: continue to work continuity. I think they've got five talented
12:31
Speaker 1: guys up front right now. Offensive line play is often
12:35
Speaker 1: not necessarily what one person is doing wrong in the
12:38
Speaker 1: run game. It's how they're working together. So they've they've
12:42
Speaker 1: got to keep going at it. They've got to get
12:44
Speaker 1: better at it. The real scientific answer too. You can
12:48
Speaker 1: scheme it a little bit, but for the most part,
12:50
Speaker 1: they have to begin working together better. A couple of
12:53
Speaker 1: things stand out. Um. Fred Taylor and I were sitting
12:57
Speaker 1: and talking during the game on on Thursday evening, and
13:00
Speaker 1: he said, that's just the way it goes. It's you know,
13:02
Speaker 1: it's one yard, it's two yards, it's one yard, it's
13:04
Speaker 1: three yards, then it's sixty nine yards. I mean, at
13:06
Speaker 1: one point he had minus eight yards rushing, So no
13:08
Speaker 1: doubt he's frustrated. Um. And and here's minus eight's an
13:13
Speaker 1: offensive line thing. I mean, yeah, that's not he can
13:17
Speaker 1: make people miss better, it's not what he does well.
13:19
Speaker 1: But when you're minus eight, it's not all the running back.
13:22
Speaker 1: Opponents stack the line of scrimmage against quarterbacks that they
13:26
Speaker 1: aren't worried about. They're gonna stop the run okay, and
13:30
Speaker 1: take away the ability for play action. Well, that means
13:34
Speaker 1: you you want to be able to run the ball
13:35
Speaker 1: to set up the past with the young quarterback right, run, run, run,
13:39
Speaker 1: have everybody come down towards the line of scrimmage to
13:40
Speaker 1: stop it, then go over their head. This may be
13:42
Speaker 1: a case and Mensho may be the guy to do it.
13:44
Speaker 1: Where you throw to run in other words, you're going
13:46
Speaker 1: to throw the ball all over the place and soften
13:48
Speaker 1: them up and make them take guys off the line
13:50
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. And it usually doesn't happen in the course
13:52
Speaker 1: of one game. No is the point. No, it does. No,
13:55
Speaker 1: you that that takes time and a confidence level in
13:57
Speaker 1: your young quarterback. But based on what seven three completion percentage? Uh,
14:02
Speaker 1: he's careful with the ball. I don't think he throws
14:04
Speaker 1: a lot of balls that you know, Oh, that one
14:06
Speaker 1: should have been picked. He's had one maybe in three games,
14:09
Speaker 1: should have been picked. And that's it. The other one,
14:11
Speaker 1: the one that was picked, was bobble the ball and
14:15
Speaker 1: and and you know, lifted it upwards for Frank Clark
14:17
Speaker 1: to get. So I think you can improve the running
14:21
Speaker 1: game by the packages you put on the field in
14:24
Speaker 1: terms of personnel and Minshew being efficient and accurate as
14:28
Speaker 1: he has been, and that should open some lanes up.
14:31
Speaker 1: It's going to be a game plan thing. Yeah, but
14:32
Speaker 1: you see basically all of social media blaming Leonard when
14:35
Speaker 1: we talked about rays running back when in fact, usually
14:40
Speaker 1: the running back might be the least important person in
14:44
Speaker 1: the running game, uh, in terms of the yards before contact.
14:48
Speaker 1: Just an observation. Um, like Bordles needed the running game,
14:52
Speaker 1: he needed a strong running game to set a pass right. Um,
14:56
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see that the Minshew does. I
14:58
Speaker 1: think Minshew can open up the running game with his
15:00
Speaker 1: arm where Blake Bortles couldn't. He's not gonna hang his
15:03
Speaker 1: hat on it, all right, when we come back, some
15:05
Speaker 1: highlights from Thursday Night Football right here on the Jaguars
15:08
Speaker 1: Digital Network. Did you hear the last two years the
15:20
Speaker 1: Jaguars returned up hunt for a touchdown, earning local families
15:23

16:37
Speaker 1: Fields and Fields matters because you matter the Fields Auto Group,
16:41
Speaker 1: proud partners of your Jacksonville Jaguars. We're back Jags Drive
16:50
Speaker 1: Time Monday Morning, brought to you by Jet Homelands. Let's
16:53
Speaker 1: go back to Thursday night and get to some highlights.
16:55
Speaker 1: I only have three because a lot of them are
16:57
Speaker 1: like especially with nine and a half sacks. Okay, he
17:00
Speaker 1: can't show all nine and a half, but let's start
17:02
Speaker 1: talking about starting with momentum. Let's go to the very
17:04
Speaker 1: first um drive special teams turned into points on the
17:08
Speaker 1: board for the Jaguars from Logan car Penalty flag flies
17:16
Speaker 1: as a dory. Jackson has trouble, Paul is out and
17:23
Speaker 1: Jacksonville has it. Winger is the one that forced it.
17:28
Speaker 1: Play action mins wide open for the touchdown. Oh, shaughnessy,
17:35
Speaker 1: right open. You needn't have a chance to catch your
17:38
Speaker 1: breath with all of that going on so quickly at
17:40
Speaker 1: the star leaving. I love the fact that that they
17:41
Speaker 1: went right back to O'Shaughnessy. And you and I both
17:43
Speaker 1: know because Maron said it over and over and over
17:45
Speaker 1: during the TV production meetings in August. That's what he
17:48
Speaker 1: likes to do when a guy drops the ball. Now,
17:49
Speaker 1: one more thing that stood out on that that moment.
17:52
Speaker 1: You and I were on the practice field together last
17:54
Speaker 1: week when O'Shaughnessy dropped pass and I reached down to
17:58
Speaker 1: pick it up, because don't don't it's my punishment. I
18:01
Speaker 1: have to chase that ball down. I should catch that ball.
18:03
Speaker 1: So when he dropped the ball on the third down
18:05
Speaker 1: conversion and he didn't go chase it, I thought, o'shaannesty
18:08
Speaker 1: that your punishment, go pick up the ball. Right. He
18:11
Speaker 1: was mad at himself, and I appreciate the fact that
18:13
Speaker 1: he caught the second pass. Well. I thought all last
18:15
Speaker 1: week Jaguars were gonna win this game by at least
18:17
Speaker 1: ten and people thought I was nuts, But I thought
18:20
Speaker 1: that's how the NFL works a lot of times. I
18:22
Speaker 1: thought they come out with their hair on fire plan.
18:24
Speaker 1: That was a huge play in it. They were able
18:27
Speaker 1: to play from a head rather than behind. And also,
18:30
Speaker 1: if you notice what we were talking about with team
18:32
Speaker 1: stack in the box against Fournette, play action worked at
18:35
Speaker 1: the linebacker, looked in at four Nette and let us
18:38
Speaker 1: Shaughnessy go by him. It's a clear example of what
18:40
Speaker 1: teams are doing. So since you mentioned what you thought,
18:42
Speaker 1: and I know you've get more highlights but it it
18:43
Speaker 1: bears conversation here. Um. I didn't think that this team
18:48
Speaker 1: was going to overcome the Week of distraction because last
18:51
Speaker 1: year they didn't. Right, And we've talked all offseason. We
18:54
Speaker 1: talked about whether this locker room was mature enough to
18:56
Speaker 1: understand the circumstances and then pushed through it, right, especially
19:01
Speaker 1: Jalen because we said he was gonna have to be
19:03
Speaker 1: the key guy. Well he was the guy who was
19:04
Speaker 1: causing the issue. So I wasn't sure that they were
19:06
Speaker 1: going to be able to come through it. When they
19:08
Speaker 1: got that play, I went. But I like the different
19:11
Speaker 1: locker room. We talked about something last week. I liked
19:14
Speaker 1: how after the incident in text in in in Houston,
19:18
Speaker 1: they responded and played better. They showed mental toughness. There's
19:21
Speaker 1: maybe that's twice now there's something to these guys. Maybe
19:26
Speaker 1: they're tougher than last week. The mental toughness was missing
19:28
Speaker 1: in week one. In week two and week three, it's there.
19:31
Speaker 1: That's a great signs. They proved it to us. All right,
19:33
Speaker 1: let's stay in the first quarter three and nine, have
19:35
Speaker 1: to keep the drive going. Minshow takes matters into his
19:38
Speaker 1: zone hands. He could be the backup in preseason. Here's
19:43
Speaker 1: one for the end zone chart. He's got it touchdown.
19:48
Speaker 1: What a throw, what perfect place? I mean that defensive
19:53
Speaker 1: back was all over him. Yeah. All you hear about
19:56
Speaker 1: him coming out of college, arm strength, size, whatever, they're
19:59
Speaker 1: out of college. What about preseason? Right, that's as good
20:02
Speaker 1: a throw as you can make. And I don't know
20:04
Speaker 1: if he has a strong arm a week on whatever,
20:06
Speaker 1: but if you see more of that, he's good. How
20:07
Speaker 1: many times did we see him against Baltimore miss on
20:10
Speaker 1: the fifteen yard out and you thought he just didn't
20:12
Speaker 1: have people after this? Right? We didn't see this gardener
20:15
Speaker 1: binnshoe in the preseason. You can go, well, okay, it
20:17
Speaker 1: was because he wasn't playing with any starters, and that
20:20
Speaker 1: that's valid. But we didn't see the accuracy from him
20:23
Speaker 1: in the preseason like we have seen it, and not
20:25
Speaker 1: just the you know, the zip on the short balls,
20:28
Speaker 1: but dropping that ball in I mean on the right
20:32
Speaker 1: side as good or better than that throw. We're talking
20:35
Speaker 1: about the one yard Yeah, and that was a great
20:38
Speaker 1: multiple big time throws. And then there was a third
20:40
Speaker 1: down conversion to d J. Chark where it was in
20:43
Speaker 1: the spot where only Chart would give there was also
20:45
Speaker 1: a huge series in the second half where I felt
20:47
Speaker 1: like Tennessee was starting in game momentum, where Gardner had
20:50
Speaker 1: at least they got a break on one interference call,
20:53
Speaker 1: but he had a big time pass on third down,
20:55
Speaker 1: the kind of play that when you don't make it,
20:58
Speaker 1: it comes back to haunt you and of a sudden
21:00
Speaker 1: you're giving up a lead. He's got some guts in
21:03
Speaker 1: big situations, all right. We saw this a lot on Thursday,
21:07
Speaker 1: nine and a half times. To be exactly, it was
21:08
Speaker 1: hard to pick one third quarter, it's fourth and six,
21:11
Speaker 1: Titans go for it, not in class Campbell's house. Just
21:16
Speaker 1: got it away again in a sack, and guess who
21:20
Speaker 1: class Campbell. Well, that was the biggest moment of the game, obviously.
21:24
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that right there, just put a knife
21:26
Speaker 1: in the in the comeback hopes of the Titans, because
21:31
Speaker 1: the Jaguars went right down the field, got the field goal,
21:33
Speaker 1: made it seventeen to nothing, and you could just see
21:36
Speaker 1: the deflation on the Titans sideline. And that's when Marcus
21:41
Speaker 1: Mariota has been at his best against the Jaguars, making
21:43
Speaker 1: plays in critical moments, but they didn't give him any
21:46
Speaker 1: room to breathe last Thursday night. Well, the pass rush
21:49
Speaker 1: was so much better in this game than it has
21:52
Speaker 1: been in past games against the Titans, partially because I
21:57
Speaker 1: believe that was the first time that Jaguars have had
22:00
Speaker 1: a seven point lead against the Titans since they blew
22:03
Speaker 1: them out here in Dougs first game. They had a
22:06
Speaker 1: three point lead in the first game in two thousand
22:08
Speaker 1: and seventeen. They have not had a chance to rush
22:10
Speaker 1: the past or get them into passing situations. The way
22:13
Speaker 1: they made the Titans play is the way that the
22:15
Speaker 1: Titans don't like to play, and it's a There's probably
22:20
Speaker 1: three more guys involved in this pass rush now then
22:23
Speaker 1: were involved in the past rush In the past, when
22:25
Speaker 1: you throw Tavan smooth Alan, all of a sudden, they
22:28
Speaker 1: came in waves in two thousand seventeen. It looks like
22:31
Speaker 1: they're able to do that now. Darius was a factor
22:32
Speaker 1: in the pass ruship. I know we got a sack,
22:34
Speaker 1: but more than that, he was pushing the pocket from
22:36
Speaker 1: the middle, and you Mariota loves to get out and
22:40
Speaker 1: make things happen. Well, Calais Campbell was eating both tackles alive.
22:43
Speaker 1: I mean, they're playing Dennis Kelly instead of Taylor Lawan,
22:46
Speaker 1: who we know is one of the better tackles in football.
22:48
Speaker 1: And Jack Conston was all pros a rookie, but his
22:50
Speaker 1: battle knee injury. Since if you have the pressure up
22:53
Speaker 1: the middle from Darius and from Tavan and from Abrey Jones,
22:57
Speaker 1: those guys on the outside are gonna eat and they
22:59
Speaker 1: did and talk about You can't say enough good things
23:01
Speaker 1: about Claius, but he was hurting during the game, especially
23:04
Speaker 1: after halftime. Every single drive was just an effort for him.
23:07
Speaker 1: He needed ten days. Watch it didn't slow him down.
23:10
Speaker 1: Watch this one. Now he's going home to play in
23:12
Speaker 1: his hometown of Denver against Garrett Bowles, the young tackle
23:16
Speaker 1: from Utah who's I think was the first round pick
23:18
Speaker 1: last year. Two years ago. He wasn't first, he was. Yeah,
23:22
Speaker 1: he leaves the league in holding penalties. I mean that
23:24
Speaker 1: the guy has become a he's hanging on for dear life.
23:27
Speaker 1: John always said this has got to stop. Um, it's
23:29
Speaker 1: probably not gonna stop this week because Plais Campbell is
23:31
Speaker 1: going to be lined up over him. Tough matchups, say
23:34
Speaker 1: the least. Yeah, well tough for him. Yeah, all right,
23:37
Speaker 1: when we come back some Bernie Woodfire Girl Hot Takes
23:39
Speaker 1: and we visit the Ozone mail bag. Next on Jaggs
23:42

Speaker 1: means we have some Bernie Wood fire grill hot takes.
25:29
Speaker 1: Garrow was hotter after Owennie grill light grill done. Um.
25:35
Speaker 1: I think after watching the defense the last two weeks
25:38
Speaker 1: and Gardner Minshew obviously completing seventy three passes, Um, I
25:42
Speaker 1: think Jackmons have a winning record at the boy. I
25:46
Speaker 1: think you look at what how it sets up here
25:49
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Um. I watched him yesterday. Their defense doesn't
25:53
Speaker 1: look anything like the defense that we've seen in the past.
25:56
Speaker 1: Their offense looks slow. Um. I'm not saying that was
26:00
Speaker 1: you know, mark that down as a win, but that's
26:01
Speaker 1: a winnable game. Same thing in Carolina. I didn't know
26:04
Speaker 1: that that was a game that you know, this team
26:06
Speaker 1: would go play well, well, you know, I mean, they
26:08
Speaker 1: get the back of a quarterback, although he did play well.
26:10
Speaker 1: Uh you know, same thing Breeze is not playing. Uh,
26:14
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, probably you'll just be getting back into the lineup.
26:17
Speaker 1: You get the Texans in in uh London. I mean,
26:19
Speaker 1: I think it's reasonable to suggest the Jaguars, with the
26:22
Speaker 1: defense playing well, if the quarterback can keep it up,
26:25
Speaker 1: could have a winning record when they get to their body.
26:29
Speaker 1: So I'll go with it. I agree. We all said
26:31
Speaker 1: four and four would be difficult to attain what they
26:34
Speaker 1: had to do, and they you know, four and for
26:36
Speaker 1: whatever it is that Folds four and five. When Folds
26:39
Speaker 1: came back, that was the narrative. I think that's very doable.
26:42
Speaker 1: And uh, four and four or five and four is
26:44
Speaker 1: very doable. And I'll see what happens when he comes back. Yeah,
26:47
Speaker 1: he talks about it last week games. You thought you
26:49
Speaker 1: at least had a chance we were if he about Carolina.
26:52
Speaker 1: That's before we knew anything about what Cam New was going. No,
26:56
Speaker 1: and and and this this Alan kid has a little
26:59
Speaker 1: Minshew thing of his own going there four touchdowns in
27:01
Speaker 1: his hometown yesterday against the Cardinals. So you know, and
27:05
Speaker 1: Matt McCaffrey. Kid is a hell of a player. I
27:07
Speaker 1: mean that you see him pull away on that touchdown.
27:09
Speaker 1: There's I'm not suggesting in any mean that the jag
27:12
Speaker 1: Wons be favored in any of these games. But with
27:14
Speaker 1: the defense playing as well as it is, and it
27:17
Speaker 1: remains to be seen they can play that well without
27:19
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey in the lineup, I think that's a big
27:20
Speaker 1: question mark. I think they'll be five and four. I
27:23
Speaker 1: just I see them going four and too over the
27:26
Speaker 1: next six and it's a big Look, it's a big deal.
27:28
Speaker 1: You're not getting Drew Brees right, Uh, You're not gonna
27:32
Speaker 1: see a healthy Sam darn Remember, because and we've had
27:35
Speaker 1: players around here who have had mono they worried. Remember
27:38
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, Brandon Linder had mono and
27:41
Speaker 1: didn't play for four or five weeks because they worried
27:43
Speaker 1: about the spleen. Well, Adam Gay said over the weekend, Hey,
27:45
Speaker 1: we're worried about the spleen, you know, two weeks. So anyway,
27:50
Speaker 1: there's a lot of reason to think that there are
27:52
Speaker 1: games on the schedule that are falling favorably to them.
27:55
Speaker 1: It could change the jagg wars could have injuries, but
27:58
Speaker 1: presently sitting here right now, hot take bide and four.
28:02
Speaker 1: All right, my heart take is the squeaky wheels us
28:07
Speaker 1: need to be quiet. And by squeaky wheels I mean
28:14
Speaker 1: Unique and Jalen. And this is almost not fair to
28:16
Speaker 1: say to Unique because once he has been back professional
28:21
Speaker 1: no doubt. So uh, this is not saying that he
28:24
Speaker 1: is doing anything wrong with his behavior as approach right now.
28:27
Speaker 1: But he was obviously a story in terms of contract
28:31
Speaker 1: in the off season and now Jaalen is. But the
28:33
Speaker 1: bottom line is, you know, Josh Allen and Clais Campbell,
28:39
Speaker 1: that those two pass rushers are as important, if not
28:43
Speaker 1: more important than the two guys who have made the
28:45
Speaker 1: most noise. And Clais Campbell when he's right, when he's healthy,
28:51
Speaker 1: he is still the best player on this defense in
28:53
Speaker 1: terms of the disruption that they need, in terms of
28:56
Speaker 1: what makes this defense go again. I love jay On Ramsey,
29:00
Speaker 1: but had gave up a huge play the other night
29:03
Speaker 1: and gave up a huge play on third down. Gave
29:05
Speaker 1: up two of the bigger plays that they had against
29:09
Speaker 1: them on defense, one a third down when the game
29:11
Speaker 1: was still in intact. Great player, but the pass rush.
29:17
Speaker 1: The main point of this is at the pass rush
29:19
Speaker 1: up front. Josh Allen, Clay As Campbell, those two guys
29:23
Speaker 1: seem to be what's making it go. I think I
29:27
Speaker 1: thinking got Way will be a big part of that,
29:29
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure that he is quite as important
29:31
Speaker 1: as Clay as Gamble. I was really impressed with how
29:34
Speaker 1: he spent time with you in the locker room Thursday.
29:37
Speaker 1: I thought he was a total pro. Uh and and
29:40
Speaker 1: that's not a surprise. I think we all knew that
29:41
Speaker 1: he could be and probably would be. I'm let me
29:44
Speaker 1: play off of your hot take. I think that Josh
29:46
Speaker 1: Allen and Unique and Gockway, who's still looking for his
29:48
Speaker 1: first act. He's only played in two of the three games,
29:50
Speaker 1: we'll have a big performance. And he had run the
29:52
Speaker 1: other night. Yeah got one, Okay, all right, then I
29:57
Speaker 1: got one. Yeah. I think that those two guys Alan
30:02
Speaker 1: and in Goquay will both have big performances. They may
30:05
Speaker 1: not have seven sacks between them, but if you saw
30:07
Speaker 1: Dante Fowler last night for the Rams, you saw he
30:09
Speaker 1: was in the quarterbacks face a lot. I think that
30:12
Speaker 1: they will because there's going to be so much focus
30:14
Speaker 1: on stopping Calias Campbell that those two guys schematically, I
30:19
Speaker 1: think they'll be putting interesting positions, but I think that
30:22
Speaker 1: those two guys will create havoc in Denver on Sunday.
30:27
Speaker 1: The gist of this take is when this defense is
30:29
Speaker 1: right as much as they need Jalen and and Jalen
30:33
Speaker 1: is really good, it rises and falls on on what
30:38
Speaker 1: the what the rotation, what the waves up front are doing,
30:43
Speaker 1: and when it plays like it did the other night,
30:45
Speaker 1: when it gets that kind of pressure, what's going on
30:47
Speaker 1: the back end. By the way, I think another thing
30:50
Speaker 1: that bears pointing out with Jalen is yes, I think
30:54
Speaker 1: he's the best corner in football and one of the
30:56
Speaker 1: best five defensive players in football. However, if you watch
30:59
Speaker 1: the Packers at yesterday, they have Jayer Alexander, who was
31:02
Speaker 1: the fourteenth pick in the draft and nobody ever said
31:04
Speaker 1: this is one of the best corners in the game,
31:07
Speaker 1: although they said he was a very promising young guy,
31:09
Speaker 1: and Kenny King, who they took at the end of
31:10
Speaker 1: the first round the year before. Um, that's a hell
31:12
Speaker 1: of a combination. They're playing really well. So if the
31:16
Speaker 1: Jaguars were to move on from Jalen, they could replace
31:18
Speaker 1: him they wouldn't replace him with another Jalen, but with
31:21
Speaker 1: the pass rush up front, they could find good players
31:24
Speaker 1: that could come in and play at a high level.
31:26
Speaker 1: You could replace him something to watch and all this
31:28
Speaker 1: boy had his best games since two thousands seventeen the
31:30
Speaker 1: other night that uh, that's gonna be a storyline to follow.
31:34
Speaker 1: Are all right? My Bernie would foul grill hot take
31:37
Speaker 1: is DJ Chark will be a one by two thousand
31:40
Speaker 1: and twenty. He didn't develop as much as he would
31:42
Speaker 1: have liked him last year. But after hearing this in
31:44
Speaker 1: the locker room, I thought, I gotta make this guy
31:46
Speaker 1: in my hot take on Monday. Well, let me go back.
31:50
Speaker 1: Even through struggles, you know, they never got down on
31:52
Speaker 1: me at all. Uh. You know, you had a lot
31:54
Speaker 1: of noise from the outside, but the guy in his
31:56
Speaker 1: locker room always, you know, motivated me. So I felt
32:00
Speaker 1: like it was my duty to go put in the work.
32:03
Speaker 1: And this also even put in a lot of work.
32:07
Speaker 1: So we know he didn't play as well as he
32:09
Speaker 1: wanted to last year, but he was talking about you know,
32:11
Speaker 1: these guys never lost sighting, especially Keena McCardell, d D Westbrook,
32:15
Speaker 1: all those guys knew I had dim me and we're
32:17
Speaker 1: seeing that this year for sure. Well, he didn't play
32:19
Speaker 1: as well as he wanted to that and that's valid. Um,
32:23
Speaker 1: he didn't play as well as some people thought he should.
32:25
Speaker 1: That's invalid. I mean you're always the first one to
32:27
Speaker 1: say rookie receivers take time to develop. But again, he's
32:30
Speaker 1: one of these guys that we add to that list
32:32
Speaker 1: with with Tavin Bryan and Leon Jacobs. Um he uh
32:37
Speaker 1: d wants mood. I mean, these guys are coming on
32:39
Speaker 1: now in their second season, which is when you hope
32:42
Speaker 1: that they are. Yeah, he looks like a one and
32:44
Speaker 1: uh something Jeff Logerman said multiple times last year. They
32:49
Speaker 1: always kind of stuck in the back of my mind.
32:52
Speaker 1: He was playing exceptionally well on special teams the whole year,
32:56
Speaker 1: and it cared about it. Worked at it, worked it
33:00
Speaker 1: better at it. It was really good at it. For
33:02
Speaker 1: a a young wide receiver who plays a prima donna
33:08
Speaker 1: position to come into the league, be willing to do that,
33:11
Speaker 1: be willing to excel, had the tools to do it.
33:13
Speaker 1: Jeff thought that voted very well for his future at receiver,
33:16
Speaker 1: and turns out he's right. And as we all know,
33:18
Speaker 1: he's a great kid, a great young man. Will stand
33:21
Speaker 1: there when it's good, We'll stand there when it's not good.
33:24
Speaker 1: A good head on the shoulders for sure. All right,
33:26
Speaker 1: let's visit the oz on mail back the let's stay
33:39
Speaker 1: right here in Jacksonville. Talked to Ed. What do you
33:42
Speaker 1: think our QB situation will be after the season? If
33:45
Speaker 1: Folds the starter, do we trade Minshew? If Minshew is
33:48
Speaker 1: the starter, what do we do with fols Well? I
33:52
Speaker 1: get that people want to dive into this and and
33:54
Speaker 1: it's going to be a fascinating topic. If Minshew continues
33:58
Speaker 1: to play as well. I guess the problem I have
34:01
Speaker 1: answering it is there are so many ifs. If Folds
34:05
Speaker 1: is good and I Mensho's night, if Minshi's night, if
34:07
Speaker 1: they're both good, if they both so, I think the
34:10
Speaker 1: bottom line is it looks for the first time in
34:12
Speaker 1: a long time that they're going to have to legitimate
34:16
Speaker 1: sources of equity good players at that position. Uh. I
34:21
Speaker 1: don't think under any circumstances, though you if Minshew plays well,
34:26
Speaker 1: I don't see any reason to part ways with him,
34:29
Speaker 1: because Folds is really on a two year deal. You
34:32
Speaker 1: keep Gardner if you think he's good bare minimum. You
34:34
Speaker 1: hold on to that because he's a young quarterback in
34:36
Speaker 1: this league. So I think it's gonna be interesting. Uh.
34:39
Speaker 1: As I wrote in the other one this morning, this
34:41
Speaker 1: whole thing does have potential to be a little bit
34:44
Speaker 1: of a mess, but it's a wonderful mess. Well, so
34:47
Speaker 1: he give me the problem because the last time the
34:49
Speaker 1: Jaguars had any quarterback depth whatsoever like this, when they
34:55
Speaker 1: had Steve Burline, who would go on to leave the
34:57
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers the next year to the NFC Championship game,
35:00
Speaker 1: they had a young Mark Rounell who they knew was
35:02
Speaker 1: going to be their long term starter, and a young
35:04
Speaker 1: Rob Johnson who became Fred Taylor when they traded him
35:06
Speaker 1: to Buffalo for those picks. So, yeah, give me that problem.
35:10
Speaker 1: Here's the thing with um Nick Foles, and I haven't
35:12
Speaker 1: read the ozone, so I'm not sure what you said.
35:14
Speaker 1: It's million dollars in dead money sitting on your cap.
35:18
Speaker 1: You made a calculated decision and a huge financial commitment
35:22
Speaker 1: to Nick Foles, and you're not just going to abandon
35:25
Speaker 1: that based on twelve snaps. You can't so hold your
35:30
Speaker 1: horses there. There's no trade value for Nick Foles because
35:33
Speaker 1: you can't afford to eat that. If sixteen million on
35:37
Speaker 1: this cap for Blake Portals is constricting this year and
35:40
Speaker 1: it is, people said to me, why did they just
35:42
Speaker 1: trade for Josh Dobbs. It's all they could afford, right,
35:45
Speaker 1: So if sixteen is constricting would be crushing. You can't
35:51
Speaker 1: do it. Foles will be here min shoes under contract.
35:54
Speaker 1: Why do anything? Just figure out what's the best way
35:56
Speaker 1: to deploy them and keep them both had a bad Yeah,
36:00
Speaker 1: I don't see why they wouldn't, and then you deal
36:02
Speaker 1: with it as a move forward. All right, let's go
36:05
Speaker 1: to Nicholas. As frustrating as this season may have been
36:08
Speaker 1: at the start, fans should realize that this team is
36:10
Speaker 1: only inches away from being two and one and the
36:12
Speaker 1: a f C South leaders. Yeah, nothing's happened yet that
36:17
Speaker 1: takes you remotely out of anything, though they've They outplayed
36:21
Speaker 1: the Texans last week in the last three quarters and
36:24
Speaker 1: happened to lose, But they outplayed the team that I
36:26
Speaker 1: think is now the division favorite on the road. Uh,
36:30
Speaker 1: they're right in it and everything's in front of them,
36:33
Speaker 1: and and the way they have played the last two weeks,
36:36
Speaker 1: I think with or without Jaalen in the next few weeks.
36:38
Speaker 1: They have a chance to remain in this thing because
36:40
Speaker 1: the defensive line is playing so well. You're just a
36:42
Speaker 1: game back with thirteen to play, you know. From over All, right,
36:46
Speaker 1: let's go to Toronto. I am down with mention media
36:50
Speaker 1: and happy he's doing well. But I still have to
36:51
Speaker 1: wonder how much better this offense would be if Folds
36:54
Speaker 1: doesn't get injured. I have to think that Houston game
36:56
Speaker 1: would be a w and the Titans game a bit
36:58
Speaker 1: more of a blowout, don't you think, Mr? Oh, yes,
37:01
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's fair to Mensh. You you know,
37:03
Speaker 1: I uh, I think they're pretty similar in the way
37:07
Speaker 1: that they want to play. I don't think. I don't
37:10
Speaker 1: think John D. Felippo would be calling games that different
37:12
Speaker 1: if it was Foalds compared to Menshi, particularly either the
37:15
Speaker 1: night he let Minshew play in situations and I dictate
37:19
Speaker 1: the game with his arm uh. I don't know that
37:22
Speaker 1: they'd be any better or worse with Foalds Right now,
37:24
Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything from Minshew to make me think, wow,
37:28
Speaker 1: if Fowls had been there on this play, it might
37:30
Speaker 1: have been different. Maybe in the first game, you know,
37:33
Speaker 1: because it was. But even then he played okay, he
37:36
Speaker 1: played fine afterwards. I don't think anything about the record,
37:39
Speaker 1: about the circumstance would be better with Folds. The only
37:41
Speaker 1: thing I think you might have had was fools get
37:43
Speaker 1: rid of the ball or not fumble the ball when
37:46
Speaker 1: he got nailed from But he got nailed from behind
37:48
Speaker 1: by Whitney merciless, you know, I mean, I just yeah
37:52
Speaker 1: the ball security in Texas and make an argument that
37:54
Speaker 1: may be the only thing. Um. And you know if
37:57
Speaker 1: if you don't have that, you might have won the game, obviously,
38:01
Speaker 1: because that was the only touchdown that they scored. I
38:03
Speaker 1: go back, Um, but I'm not sure that Foals necessarily
38:06
Speaker 1: those last two d minchet. I'm not saying Foals couldn't
38:10
Speaker 1: have done it, but I don't know that he would
38:11
Speaker 1: have done it better. You're reading too much into it
38:14
Speaker 1: too early, You just are I mean, let the whole
38:16
Speaker 1: thing play out. I go back, just on the heels
38:20
Speaker 1: of that, and say again, looking at the Texans offense
38:24
Speaker 1: on the road against Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa, Uh,
38:29
Speaker 1: they were explosive yesterday and they were not week before.
38:34
Speaker 1: So I think that is a good reference point for
38:37
Speaker 1: us with this Jaguars defense. Yeah, it looks like two
38:39
Speaker 1: different teams basically. All right, when we come back, we'll
38:42
Speaker 1: wrap up the show with some NFL headlines right here
38:44
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Digital Network. Did you hear the last
38:54
Speaker 1: two years the Jaguars were turned up hunt for a
38:56

Speaker 1: by m c u A. Alright, wrapping up this Monday
40:26
Speaker 1: show with some NFL headlines over the weekend. Let's go
40:29
Speaker 1: back to Thursday Night. Tom Brady reacting to Thursday Night
40:33
Speaker 1: Football of all people saying I'm turning this game off.
40:37
Speaker 1: There's too many penalties when an actuality, at least for
40:39
Speaker 1: offensive holding, there were less penalties. So there was a
40:42
Speaker 1: conference call Saturday night with l River on who is
40:46
Speaker 1: the gentleman who controls and controls but manages the officiating
40:50
Speaker 1: in the NFL and if you were called back in
40:52
Speaker 1: the off season, there was a point of emphasis on
40:55
Speaker 1: offensive holding, primarily on the back side. They called it
40:58
Speaker 1: lobster blocking. Guys got their hands out side. So in
41:00
Speaker 1: the first two weeks of the season those calls. Holding
41:03
Speaker 1: calls were up sixty six percent. There were five point
41:06
Speaker 1: seven per game. After the phone call the other night
41:08
Speaker 1: where they sort of the emphasized it a little bit,
41:10
Speaker 1: talked about where to call it where not, it was
41:12
Speaker 1: down to just two point nine. That's about well. So
41:17
Speaker 1: the funny thing is is that it was up sixty
41:20
Speaker 1: over the year before. It's just two point nine you
41:23
Speaker 1: could hand holding per game. Yeah, we asked some of
41:25
Speaker 1: the guys in the locker room, was a big deal
41:27
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady was tweeting about Thursay night football prime time,
41:30
Speaker 1: And they're like, he's just sit at home, he's hanging anyway.
41:35
Speaker 1: Players don't aren't as thrilled by a sort of things. Fans.
41:39
Speaker 1: By the way, how about Tom Brady yesterday going to
41:41
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and saying, throw the flag, throw the flag,
41:43
Speaker 1: throw the flag. He got his way and it wasn't overturned. Yeah,
41:46
Speaker 1: I thought that was a bit too all right. NFL
41:49
Speaker 1: headline number two Peyton wins one. He has coached the
41:52
Speaker 1: Saints for fourteen years. Yesterday was his first time beating
41:55
Speaker 1: the Seahawks in Seattle. In his career, mind you, that's
41:59
Speaker 1: what Teddy Bridgewall there, Well, it wasn't the first time
42:01
Speaker 1: that he beat um the Seahawks in Seattle and his
42:04
Speaker 1: crewer was the first time he won a game as
42:07
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Saints without Drew Brees in
42:11
Speaker 1: the starting lineup, right. What what was unusual about that game,
42:14
Speaker 1: also from the Seahawks standpoint, is is that Pete Carroll
42:16
Speaker 1: was fifteen and o at at home in September. Never
42:19
Speaker 1: lost a home game in September until yesterday. They scored
42:23
Speaker 1: on defense, they scored on special teams. Teddy Bridgewater wasn't spectacular,
42:28
Speaker 1: but he didn't have to be. He through two touchdowns.
42:30
Speaker 1: What I thought was interesting is is that all the
42:32
Speaker 1: time that Peyton's been there, it's the first time he's
42:35
Speaker 1: won a game without and it was It was a
42:38
Speaker 1: huge that was surprised everybody because everybody thought that team
42:42
Speaker 1: was built around Breeze and only Breeze. And then I
42:44
Speaker 1: only beat Sattle, they beat him handily. So uh, that
42:48
Speaker 1: shows you that that team A is gonna be dangerous
42:51
Speaker 1: from the Jaguars play him here and B has a
42:54
Speaker 1: good chance to be around when Breeze gets back which
42:56
Speaker 1: means they're still in it. When you score on defense,
43:00
Speaker 1: you win a significant point at the time when you
43:03
Speaker 1: score on defense, and you score on special teams and
43:06
Speaker 1: most of the time, right And I remember when we
43:09
Speaker 1: found out that Drew Brees would be out for the
43:10
Speaker 1: Jaguars team, Everyone's like, ah, that's a win. Then not
43:14
Speaker 1: so fast, Yeah, this team is not good to say
43:16
Speaker 1: that anybody get your point, and well it may all right. Finally,
43:22
Speaker 1: oh two eighteen Offensive Rookie of the Year se Kwon
43:26
Speaker 1: Barkley severed a high ankle spring yesterday was seen leaving
43:29
Speaker 1: the game with crutches. They have the Redskins next week.
43:33
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones played well, but you can't really figure out
43:35
Speaker 1: that Giant's team right now. Well, for Daniel Jones, it's
43:38
Speaker 1: obviously an easier task to play anybody with that guy
43:40
Speaker 1: in the backfield. Without it, it means he's got to
43:43
Speaker 1: use his arm, and he used his leg yesterday too.
43:45
Speaker 1: If your dad, geentleman, aren't you sitting in the press
43:47
Speaker 1: box before s Kwon gets hurt saying maybe I'm not
43:51
Speaker 1: so stupid after all? Right, he knew what he wanted
43:53
Speaker 1: in Jones. Big strong kids, strong arm looks comfortable and
43:57
Speaker 1: confident in the pocket. Um, you know, looks like a younger,
44:01
Speaker 1: maybe bigger, stronger Eli Manning. And uh, it's too bad
44:05
Speaker 1: for sake, Kwan because that high ankle for running back
44:08
Speaker 1: probably will be a month before he gets back minimum
44:12
Speaker 1: and then you've got to sort of work your way
44:14
Speaker 1: back off of that. So that will certainly hurt his
44:18
Speaker 1: overall production. Yeah, I mean and dramatically reduced. And you
44:21
Speaker 1: talk about prose prose. I was watching that game and
44:23
Speaker 1: you had Eli Manning on the bench with Daniel Jones
44:26
Speaker 1: behind him with him the entire game easily could be
44:29
Speaker 1: a jerk about that, and he wasn't. It's a kind
44:31
Speaker 1: of guy. It's his way he was raised. Alright, Stay
44:34
Speaker 1: tuned on Jaguars dot com and Jaguars Social Media. Will
44:36
Speaker 1: have dug her own live at ten twenty this morning,
44:39
