- 0:29Speaker 1: Com here and I like you guys. But it's nice
- 0:32Speaker 1: a little space this morning. I mean, we were especially
- 0:35Speaker 1: when some of the big guys were in there there
- 0:38Speaker 1: well tight type quarters. John was too close. But it's
- 0:41Speaker 1: fun to be a Minneapolis last week. You know, you
- 0:44Speaker 1: just asked for that, You just you totally completely just
- 0:48Speaker 1: asked for that. How are you, guys. I'm fantastic, you
- 0:52Speaker 1: know what, I'm not fantastic. I'm worn out from what
- 0:57Speaker 1: the whole you know, the angst and the and the
- 1:02Speaker 1: panic in this fan base over a few things that
- 1:05Speaker 1: happened in a preseason game. I get it, Cam Robinson
- 1:08Speaker 1: struggled to left tackle, you know, but the whole you know,
- 1:12Speaker 1: I'm getting emails about quarterback trades, about Blake Bortles about disaster.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Do you know what we should do? It's harder to
- 1:21Speaker 1: be a good team than it is a bad team. Yeah, Um,
- 1:24Speaker 1: that's it. That's a good line. You should tweet that.
- 1:27Speaker 1: I don't want to tweet it. I wanted. I spent
- 1:31Speaker 1: all day changing out smoke detectors yesterday, Brian. My arms
- 1:36Speaker 1: are sore. I'm an old man, I'm tired. It's a
- 1:39Speaker 1: long season. Let's start driving. I'm an emotional mess. Just
- 1:44Speaker 1: like Max, I spent all day doing things to Ashton
- 1:48Speaker 1: was the only one that had a day off. She
- 1:49Speaker 1: says she slept all day. I'll bet she didn't change
- 1:51Speaker 1: that fire a long. Do you know what we should do?
- 1:55Speaker 1: Just to call them people's ants. We should take them
- 1:57Speaker 1: into the locker room and show them how calm Doug
- 2:01Speaker 1: Morone was about his football team afterwards. So, since we're
- 2:05Speaker 1: back in the home studios and it feels so good,
- 2:07Speaker 1: Hi Max, Max Hochman is here. Can you show us
- 2:12Speaker 1: any we have a guest in the studio today, can
- 2:15Speaker 1: you show us? Can you turn the camera and show
- 2:17Speaker 1: us Dave to Candice at some point there you go, No,
- 2:21Speaker 1: let's do it now, you know we're home. We're getting
- 2:23Speaker 1: used to the way things are. Show us Dave to Candice,
- 2:26Speaker 1: real quick, Dave running the board. We may have an
- 2:28Speaker 1: impromptu Hey Dave this morning because Hey, Joe is not
- 2:32Speaker 1: with us. But Max, can you go ahead and roll
- 2:34Speaker 1: the post game from Doug in the locker room and
- 2:37Speaker 1: give people maybe a little comfort? We still got work
- 2:41Speaker 1: to do, and that's why we've got a couple of weeks,
- 2:43Speaker 1: all right. We can still improve on a lot of things,
- 2:45Speaker 1: which we will, all right, and we'll be a better
- 2:47Speaker 1: football team Fordance. Alright, So again, like I said before,
- 2:52Speaker 1: this thing squad, Okay, we want a game. We're able
- 2:55Speaker 1: to finish it out the end. Good job here, We're
- 2:57Speaker 1: gonna break it down. What all right, Slynn? That leads
- 3:02Speaker 1: just right to big things. You should take it from here,
- 3:04Speaker 1: all right. So the big thing one is nowhere close.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Good moments of Saturday's game. But you just heard Doug
- 3:09Speaker 1: Morowns say they're nowhere close for a regular season game.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say after the game. You know,
- 3:15Speaker 1: obviously we've got the win, but you know I don't
- 3:17Speaker 1: want them leaving this locker room. Obviously. We have a
- 3:20Speaker 1: day off tomorrow. I don't want them leaving thinking that, Hey, listen,
- 3:22Speaker 1: we're really close. We still have got a lot of
- 3:24Speaker 1: work ahead of us, and and we'll work our butts
- 3:27Speaker 1: off to become a better football team going into the season.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Do you think John that calms the nerves? I doubt it,
- 3:32Speaker 1: but um, you know part of this to remember, And
- 3:37Speaker 1: I got an email to this effect yesterday, so I
- 3:39Speaker 1: want to credit the emailer with spawning this idea. Um.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Remember this team didn't look great last preseason. I think
- 3:49Speaker 1: they've had a couple of drives that have been impressive
- 3:53Speaker 1: that bode very well for what they want to do
- 3:55Speaker 1: during the radio season. They had a very good drive
- 3:57Speaker 1: offensively against the Saints and a very good drive the
- 3:59Speaker 1: other day against a really good Vikings defense. I think
- 4:03Speaker 1: some of what Doug does during training camp is by design.
- 4:08Speaker 1: I don't want to say he wants them to look
- 4:10Speaker 1: bad in the preseason, but I do wonder if an
- 4:16Speaker 1: entire half the other day to cap what was probably
- 4:22Speaker 1: the longest stretch of the preseason, if you combine the
- 4:25Speaker 1: week that they had going into Minnesota, plus Minnesota plus
- 4:28Speaker 1: a road trip, I don't think he minds that much
- 4:32Speaker 1: if they don't look like a well oiled machine. The
- 4:34Speaker 1: first two preseason games. He alluded to that a little
- 4:37Speaker 1: bit at some point of Hey, I I told these
- 4:41Speaker 1: guys last yeay had to trust me, And I think
- 4:44Speaker 1: there is a little bit of the preseason where it's
- 4:47Speaker 1: a trust. He's got a process to get them ready
- 4:49Speaker 1: for the regular season, and I think some of the
- 4:50Speaker 1: clunkiness was due to that. You know. On Friday, asked
- 4:52Speaker 1: him about the evaluation process in practice against the Vikings,
- 4:56Speaker 1: and the whistle was blown so quickly, right, and that
- 5:00Speaker 1: coaches ro scream let him finish the run, Let him
- 5:01Speaker 1: finish the run. They were looking at so many different things,
- 5:04Speaker 1: and Doug came down and said, it's about the technique.
- 5:07Speaker 1: He was looking to see, not if a guy made
- 5:09Speaker 1: the block, but was he in a position to make
- 5:11Speaker 1: the block? Right, if a guy got free from the
- 5:13Speaker 1: runner or got up to a position where he could
- 5:15Speaker 1: make the tackle, because they didn't really do that, but
- 5:17Speaker 1: they were looking to see did guys know what they
- 5:19Speaker 1: were supposed to do? Were they in a spot where
- 5:21Speaker 1: they could achieve the outcome of the play. And then
- 5:24Speaker 1: that's how he evaluated it. So what the fans at
- 5:27Speaker 1: home we were watching this are looking for and what
- 5:29Speaker 1: we're looking for broadcasting the game is completely different than
- 5:32Speaker 1: what Doug Moron is looking for. And he, as he said,
- 5:35Speaker 1: doesn't think they're close to being ready to play. But
- 5:38Speaker 1: you know when you evaluated last year against the Buccaneers
- 5:40Speaker 1: and the Panthers, Yeah, they didn't look good. I couldn't
- 5:43Speaker 1: run the ball very well, didn't stop the run in
- 5:45Speaker 1: those two games. And you're thinking, is this defense is
- 5:47Speaker 1: going to take some time to get to where they
- 5:49Speaker 1: need to be. How long until the offense is functional?
- 5:52Speaker 1: Calm down, relax. They have a plan. Their plan isn't
- 5:55Speaker 1: the same as what you want to see when the
- 5:58Speaker 1: Falcons come here on Saturday night. They're comfortable with where
- 6:01Speaker 1: they're at. It might be a little closer Saturday night
- 6:04Speaker 1: because they're actually gonna game plan. I think what Doug
- 6:06Speaker 1: said after the game about t J Yelden, who, by
- 6:09Speaker 1: the way, it looked very good um sort of plays
- 6:13Speaker 1: into that. They they specifically wanted to get a look
- 6:18Speaker 1: at Leonard for Nette doing some things. They specifically wanted
- 6:20Speaker 1: to get a look at t J Yelden. They got
- 6:23Speaker 1: to look at him in the first half with the
- 6:25Speaker 1: three or not with the threes, but in what he
- 6:28Speaker 1: normally would play, some passing situations. Then they wanted to
- 6:31Speaker 1: get a look at him in the second half with
- 6:33Speaker 1: the Bay. A lot of preseason is we want to
- 6:37Speaker 1: look at these packages in these situations. Corey Grant didn't
- 6:40Speaker 1: play at all, I don't think in the first half offensively. Well,
- 6:43Speaker 1: that's probably not going to be the case once the
- 6:45Speaker 1: regular season starts. So a lot of this is about
- 6:48Speaker 1: getting looks so they can evaluate, so that they can
- 6:51Speaker 1: know what they want going into the regular season. And again,
- 6:56Speaker 1: it it's not the regular season and it's not time
- 7:00Speaker 1: to make trades for goodness sake to mode the lawn yesterday, Brian,
- 7:06Speaker 1: that's really what this spill both ways, Ashland go. Just like,
- 7:15Speaker 1: look at the game. I know wins and losses don't
- 7:17Speaker 1: matter very much so in the preseason, but Miles Jackson,
- 7:19Speaker 1: the Lockerman, almost felt like a loss because of his
- 7:21Speaker 1: personal performance. But he said when the regular season comes around,
- 7:24Speaker 1: they're gonna be ready. Preseason is there to get better.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Doug Maron said it when we arrived last Wednesday on
- 7:29Speaker 1: the practice fields at the Vikings new facility. It's about
- 7:33Speaker 1: getting better, he said after the game on Saturday. It's
- 7:36Speaker 1: about getting better. Did they get better? They look pretty
- 7:39Speaker 1: good in certain spaces, right, They identified areas they've got
- 7:42Speaker 1: to improve upon. My thought is as they came home
- 7:46Speaker 1: from Minnesota, they were a better football team. The fact
- 7:50Speaker 1: that they completely shut down the Vikings offense and look
- 7:55Speaker 1: fantastic defensively without Jailing, without Dante, without Marcel Darius, and
- 8:01Speaker 1: without Sean Gibson. Uh my goodness. This is a defense that,
- 8:06Speaker 1: as I said after the game, Brian, very good defense.
- 8:08Speaker 1: It has a chance to be great. Come on and
- 8:12Speaker 1: Blake Borders, by the way, we'll talk more about this.
- 8:13Speaker 1: The drive after his interception vintage great great stuff. All right,
- 8:19Speaker 1: big thing too, young lady, Big thing too and that's
- 8:21Speaker 1: got to be penalized. It was ugly at times on
- 8:23Speaker 1: both sides of the ball on Saturday, Jags thirteen penalties
- 8:27Speaker 1: for a loss of a hundred and forty yards. Coach
- 8:29Speaker 1: bron says they got to give their chance they got
- 8:31Speaker 1: they got to give their team a better chance to win. Yeah,
- 8:34Speaker 1: some of the what are you going to Okay, we
- 8:39Speaker 1: were going to fund We're gonna let you talk first
- 8:41Speaker 1: and then we'll hear from the coach. Well, that's that's
- 8:43Speaker 1: a good order. Some of that was do not encourage him.
- 8:49Speaker 1: It was what was the number? Uh three of them
- 8:53Speaker 1: forty five were interesting calls at best. You know, the
- 8:58Speaker 1: Niles Paul penalty on the kickoff. I think it's gonna
- 9:01Speaker 1: get called the a J Boy, the A J Boy called,
- 9:05Speaker 1: I wrote on Saturday, you couldn't avoid this issue forever.
- 9:09Speaker 1: A few of the Jaguars they got lucky in the
- 9:11Speaker 1: preseason opener and didn't have any of that. The a
- 9:13Speaker 1: J Boy, I think is going to be one of
- 9:15Speaker 1: those that as the season goes on, officials are going
- 9:19Speaker 1: to figure out what to call and what not to call.
- 9:22Speaker 1: I don't know what the Jared Wilson penalty was. I
- 9:25Speaker 1: guess you got a penalty for playing football, because it
- 9:28Speaker 1: seemed at that point like there is a tendency the
- 9:32Speaker 1: officials on this one to just call it and to
- 9:35Speaker 1: just okay, call it first, asked questions later. So I
- 9:40Speaker 1: think those three skewed it a lot. But certainly it
- 9:44Speaker 1: felt sloppy on some parts, and as Doug said, you're
- 9:48Speaker 1: gonna lose if you do that. Well, you can see
- 9:50Speaker 1: right here these were the Jaguars fifteen yard penalties. One
- 9:55Speaker 1: to three, four, five, fifteen yard penalties. Now in a
- 9:59Speaker 1: regular season game, that's a bad day. It's a bad
- 10:02Speaker 1: day for the team, or it's a bad day for
- 10:04Speaker 1: the officials. Speaking of bad day, twenty penalties called in
- 10:08Speaker 1: that game on Saturday. It made it unwatchable at times. Yeah,
- 10:12Speaker 1: and it was a topic I didn't get enough to do. Anyway,
- 10:15Speaker 1: there was a topic on the Vikings broadcast twenty penalties.
- 10:22Speaker 1: It seems like that's one that that crew will will
- 10:27Speaker 1: look at it and be told absolutely, it's funny. During
- 10:33Speaker 1: the halftime interview, I had the producer in my years saying, Hey, Ashlynd,
- 10:36Speaker 1: if coach Moron doesn't bring up the penalties, be sure
- 10:38Speaker 1: to ask him. And I said, if I know anything
- 10:40Speaker 1: about Doug, that is the first thing out of his
- 10:42Speaker 1: mouth is this team used to stop at the penalty. Well,
- 10:44Speaker 1: and here's what he had to say after the game
- 10:46Speaker 1: on Saturday. If we do that in a game, the
- 10:51Speaker 1: odds are we're not gonna win, you know. And it's
- 10:53Speaker 1: it's even though people say statistically penalties don't really um
- 10:57Speaker 1: fall until a factor of winning a losing, but you know,
- 11:00Speaker 1: hundred forty yards you're talking about field position extending drives
- 11:02Speaker 1: things of that nature. I think that's where it gets
- 11:05Speaker 1: a little overlooked from a statistical standpoint. And if I
- 11:08Speaker 1: know dug it all, and I do, he's going to
- 11:10Speaker 1: use these penalties and this opportunity with so many of them,
- 11:14Speaker 1: to beat that nail with the hammer all week long.
- 11:19Speaker 1: It's a great teaching point. That's what coaches talk about.
- 11:22Speaker 1: And he has thirteen of them to use this week
- 11:24Speaker 1: getting ready for preseason game number three. One interesting penalty
- 11:28Speaker 1: that wasn't against the Jaguars against the Vikings was the
- 11:33Speaker 1: I guess it's called the defenseless quarterback or the driving
- 11:36Speaker 1: the quarterback into the ground rule, which has gotten a
- 11:38Speaker 1: lot of play on on a sports center. Um, that's
- 11:42Speaker 1: a thing and that's gonna happen this year, and that
- 11:45Speaker 1: was gone over very clearly with the officials. That's to
- 11:48Speaker 1: get the Aaron Rodgers type injury out of the game.
- 11:51Speaker 1: The one they called on Sunday I thought was a
- 11:53Speaker 1: little sketchy, but at the same time you could see
- 11:56Speaker 1: the body weight look intentional going onto the quarterback um
- 12:01Speaker 1: as much as people are up in arms. And that's
- 12:03Speaker 1: one that's getting sort of mocked by national media. That
- 12:08Speaker 1: penalty is going to stay, and that has been a
- 12:10Speaker 1: problem too long in terms of they want things out
- 12:14Speaker 1: of the game that looked like it can be avoided.
- 12:18Speaker 1: And I didn't have as much problem with that call.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Not there was against the Jaguars or whatever, but the
- 12:21Speaker 1: concept of that call didn't bother me as much as
- 12:24Speaker 1: the boy, which didn't look to me like he could
- 12:26Speaker 1: have avoided it. A big thing three is they're back.
- 12:30Speaker 1: So despite Jalen Ramsey and Dante Feller not being present
- 12:32Speaker 1: the entire last week, the defense still played really, really well.
- 12:36Speaker 1: So it shows the promise of the depth of this defense.
- 12:38Speaker 1: But today they are back in that locker room and
- 12:41Speaker 1: it will be entertaining, you know. So here's Fred reached out.
- 12:46Speaker 1: He knows somebody that works as part of Jalen's management
- 12:49Speaker 1: team and on Saturday morning just said, hey, where's his
- 12:52Speaker 1: mind as he gets ready to come back, because I
- 12:54Speaker 1: think we were all wondering. You know, the locker room
- 12:57Speaker 1: is open today for the first time. Normally during training
- 12:59Speaker 1: camp they bring players to the media. Today the played,
- 13:02Speaker 1: the media goes to the players, and Jalen is back.
- 13:05Speaker 1: So Fred reached out. This is what he found. Uh,
- 13:10Speaker 1: that doesn't give it all the context that you need. Uh,
- 13:13Speaker 1: the word, the key word was understood. He understood the
- 13:18Speaker 1: suspension and the violation and was ready to get back
- 13:21Speaker 1: to work. So there could be an interesting dynamic in
- 13:24Speaker 1: the locker room today. He may or may not even
- 13:26Speaker 1: go in right. We'll wait and see how that one
- 13:28Speaker 1: plays out. He's back, Dante Veller Jr. Is back, And
- 13:31Speaker 1: really the only thing I want to say on this
- 13:32Speaker 1: is they were so good without those two players, and
- 13:36Speaker 1: without two Shawn Gibson. Imagine how good they can be
- 13:39Speaker 1: if they can stay healthy and have those guys available
- 13:41Speaker 1: to them every Sunday afternoon. Because you're about the best
- 13:44Speaker 1: player on that defense Jalen, and maybe the most athletic
- 13:47Speaker 1: player Dante Fowler, and a veteran guy in Gibson. There's
- 13:51Speaker 1: a lot to like. Tell you what I know, Jaalen
- 13:55Speaker 1: is the best. I'm not gonna tell you and go
- 13:58Speaker 1: way that he's not right. And then he struck out.
- 14:02Speaker 1: I wondered the first couple of years, how good unique
- 14:07Speaker 1: ceiling without maybe thirteen fourteen, and then I heard people
- 14:09Speaker 1: around here throwing out eighteen nineteen sacks. Um. He looks
- 14:15Speaker 1: like a different cat this year. If Vic Beasley can
- 14:18Speaker 1: get what's seventeen and a half two years ago when
- 14:20Speaker 1: he led the league in rushing, then, so can you unique.
- 14:22Speaker 1: And I'm not surprised at all by the way that
- 14:23Speaker 1: Jalen understands it. I don't think that's just a tweet
- 14:26Speaker 1: from Fred. Whatever he is or isn't, this kid wants
- 14:31Speaker 1: to win. I don't anticipate this being an issue going
- 14:33Speaker 1: forward at all. I've said it from the beginning. Fred
- 14:35Speaker 1: showed me the tweet from the manager, so I'm paraphrasing
- 14:38Speaker 1: it right. He didn't put it all in there, and
- 14:42Speaker 1: and and he missed the chance to go to Minnesota.
- 14:46Speaker 1: He wanted to be there competing against deefon digs and
- 14:49Speaker 1: against the Kwan Treadwell and Adam Feeling. He was remorseful
- 14:53Speaker 1: of the opportunity missed. And that's all understand I got
- 14:56Speaker 1: a lot of emails Brian saying, Oh, it's a paid
- 14:58Speaker 1: vacation or not forgoing Jalen Ramsey, Well, that's not a
- 15:03Speaker 1: vacation for these guys. Oh they get to miss practice. Well,
- 15:06Speaker 1: that's not how these guys are wired. So I think
- 15:09Speaker 1: what you want at as one of my answers, Well,
- 15:12Speaker 1: I can't control what you think. I can't control perception,
- 15:14Speaker 1: but that's not how it feels when a player suspended.
- 15:17Speaker 1: All right, wrapping up this first segment of Jags Drive
- 15:20Speaker 1: Time on a Monday morning is our Jags Drive Time
- 15:22Speaker 1: poll on Twitter and it kind of fits right into this.

- 17:17Speaker 1: Jags drive time on this Monday morning. There was some
- 17:19Speaker 1: exciting place on Saturday, and we're about to go over them.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Let's see him. Let's see him. Let's start with Unique
- 17:26Speaker 1: and Gockway. So Unique and Gockway takes down Kirk cause
- 17:29Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins drops him for a lost of eleven yards.
- 17:32Speaker 1: But that's before an excessive celebration penalty. Yeah, and the
- 17:35Speaker 1: excessive celebration penalty. It caught me off guarded first two
- 17:38Speaker 1: because he didn't celebrate over And here's the play. Didn't
- 17:42Speaker 1: celebrate over the quarterback watch her he steps away. Um,
- 17:46Speaker 1: but it's that gesture, that gesture of a sexual nature.
- 17:49Speaker 1: That was the term that was used with me. That
- 17:52Speaker 1: got the official flag throne. That will do it? What
- 17:57Speaker 1: can you do? You have to be Yeah, he's young guy,
- 18:00Speaker 1: it's the preseason. He's excited, I think he said afterwards
- 18:04Speaker 1: he had a lot of celebrations planned. Hopefully that one
- 18:06Speaker 1: is now out of the repetition because that fifteen yard
- 18:09Speaker 1: penalty is Um, you don't want that. I don't get
- 18:13Speaker 1: the you know. And I'm trying to remember all of
- 18:15Speaker 1: his sacks and the dances. And I've never thought of
- 18:18Speaker 1: him as a guy who well that's a big issue
- 18:23Speaker 1: for no. Yeah, I mean he's a violent player. He's
- 18:25Speaker 1: an emotional player. He I assume that he's probably had
- 18:29Speaker 1: a couple of sportsmanlis over the time. I don't recall
- 18:32Speaker 1: him for that. And he's a smart player too. He's
- 18:34Speaker 1: the guy who gets in people's face and says, hey,
- 18:35Speaker 1: don't cost us penalty yards by being stupid. Yeah. I
- 18:38Speaker 1: got a few emails like this, Oh I bought his jersey.
- 18:41Speaker 1: I'm not you know, uh, I think I think this
- 18:45Speaker 1: is going to be an outlier for him. Yeah, I agree. Alright,
- 18:47Speaker 1: So let's go to the next highlight. Not one of
- 18:49Speaker 1: Blake Bartle's best place an interception throwing a D. D. Westbrook.
- 18:53Speaker 1: Harrison Smith from the Vikings picks off. I was reading
- 18:55Speaker 1: Twitter and people called it, called this a flat out
- 18:57Speaker 1: embarrassing interception. Well, I think any Rebeck would tell you
- 19:00Speaker 1: that every interception can be embarrassing. But Harrison Smith, I
- 19:05Speaker 1: watched him the two days that we were on the
- 19:06Speaker 1: practice fields with the Vikings. Hey, he's tall and able
- 19:10Speaker 1: with long arms to make these kinds of plays. He
- 19:13Speaker 1: just kind of stepped in the way. It was a
- 19:14Speaker 1: great play by him, and Blake was running a timing
- 19:16Speaker 1: route obviously to d D. He missed him. That's what
- 19:19Speaker 1: preseasons four. Harrison Smith read it perfectly. He said it
- 19:25Speaker 1: it's a bad place, shouldn't happen to move on. But
- 19:29Speaker 1: this idea that it's a defining moment and an example
- 19:33Speaker 1: of what's wrong. Didn't we find that out last year
- 19:35Speaker 1: when he threw five of them on the practice field
- 19:38Speaker 1: and then still led the team to the ANFC Championship
- 19:40Speaker 1: game right here you go, were panicking. It's it's beyond
- 19:44Speaker 1: I'm about to bang the head on the table. Harrison Smith,
- 19:46Speaker 1: by the way, um is a tremendous football player. I
- 19:51Speaker 1: had not seen him up close and in person like
- 19:54Speaker 1: I did got the chance to in the practice fields. Um,
- 19:57Speaker 1: he's all Pro. He is Pro Bowl. He is one
- 20:00Speaker 1: the highest paid defensive backs in the game for reason.
- 20:02Speaker 1: He is a great safety. And to people who are saying, well,
- 20:07Speaker 1: it was, it didn't take a great safety to make
- 20:10Speaker 1: that play. But but I mean that was a bad throw.
- 20:13Speaker 1: So yes, he's great. Let's not completely defend Bortles on
- 20:17Speaker 1: that one. It's not a victiated either. It's a preseason throw.
- 20:20Speaker 1: That's the point. It's it's a preseason throw. Guess what.
- 20:25Speaker 1: He's gonna have eleven or twelve interceptions this year, you know,
- 20:29Speaker 1: But so are most quarterback you know. Kirk Cousins had
- 20:34Speaker 1: twelve yards passing the other day. People would be at
- 20:38Speaker 1: the gates with torches if it had been Bordles his day.
- 20:42Speaker 1: So four million dollars guaranteed for Kirk Cousins. I'm not
- 20:46Speaker 1: here slam on Kirk Cousins. I'm four million dollars and
- 20:50Speaker 1: you have twelve three of eight for twelve passing. But
- 20:52Speaker 1: there's a reaction of well, it's against the Jaguars defense.
- 20:55Speaker 1: Jaguars defense is really good, we should do that. Well,
- 20:58Speaker 1: really good. And they went down and had a very
- 21:02Speaker 1: impressive drive and three or four throws I can remember.
- 21:07Speaker 1: They were really good throws on Blake's part. So stop
- 21:11Speaker 1: chill out? Are you okay? The fans, both of you,
- 21:14Speaker 1: you chill out? All right, Let's go to the next one. Jaguars,
- 21:18Speaker 1: even as we know they played incredibly well. Here is
- 21:20Speaker 1: a Latavius Murray's second fumble of the game. Elikue Jackson
- 21:23Speaker 1: strips it, Kalaias Campbell recovers it. We have Brian's call
- 21:26Speaker 1: on this, let's do it. They handed and Unique and
- 21:31Speaker 1: Gogway was there. That ball is three and Kalius Campbell
- 21:34Speaker 1: has recovered the bumble. So just like that, the Jaguars defense.
- 21:39Speaker 1: You know, the great thing about this play is it
- 21:41Speaker 1: showed unique penetration and then watch Malik here. I didn't
- 21:45Speaker 1: even know that it was Malik that knocked it free
- 21:47Speaker 1: until we saw the replay in the booth. And then
- 21:48Speaker 1: Kalius falls on it. He thought first was it was?
- 21:51Speaker 1: It looked like in gokway right there, right, and then
- 21:54Speaker 1: there's Malik reaching his arm around both the offensive lineman
- 21:57Speaker 1: and reaching the ball away from Latavius Murray and there's Calais.
- 22:01Speaker 1: I mean, that's what this offense, a part of the defense,
- 22:03Speaker 1: did so well last year. They changed the momentum of
- 22:07Speaker 1: games in favor of the Jaguars. That was after Blake's
- 22:10Speaker 1: not so great driving. Yeah, he comes right back on
- 22:13Speaker 1: the field, grabs home. He didn't even have time to
- 22:15Speaker 1: put his helmet on the bench. He had to grab
- 22:16Speaker 1: it right away and go back on the field. You
- 22:20Speaker 1: can say how you went well. They can't count on
- 22:23Speaker 1: the defense to bail him out after every intercepity prove it.
- 22:26Speaker 1: And that's true. But that's what this defense does. And
- 22:30Speaker 1: I thought, what the offense did on the ensuing drive,
- 22:34Speaker 1: it's gotten overlaw. It's gotten overlooked that they did it
- 22:37Speaker 1: against a very good Vikings defense. Um, it was. It
- 22:43Speaker 1: was an impressive drive that again showed what Blake has become.
- 22:47Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to avoid talking about the interception,
- 22:51Speaker 1: but what do you want to hang on it? It
- 22:53Speaker 1: sounds like years ago when something bad happened to this offense.
- 22:58Speaker 1: It was Curtains. The impressive thing and the thing that
- 23:02Speaker 1: they like, the reason they like Portals is that he
- 23:07Speaker 1: shrugs off and overcomes those bad moments very very well.
- 23:13Speaker 1: Not just better than it before, but he's gotten very good.
- 23:15Speaker 1: I'll tell you why I'm not worried about the interception
- 23:16Speaker 1: at all and why I'm not hanging on it, and
- 23:19Speaker 1: that is the fourteen yard run on third down and
- 23:22Speaker 1: goal from the fifteen yard line. He took the ball
- 23:25Speaker 1: and I think you're gonna show this year in a minute.
- 23:27Speaker 1: He took the ball and set up fourth and goal
- 23:29Speaker 1: from the one. Come on. It was the eleventh play
- 23:32Speaker 1: of a twelve play drive after an interception. What's not
- 23:35Speaker 1: to like about that resilience. I'll admit you want to
- 23:38Speaker 1: hang on the interception more. What's not to like about
- 23:41Speaker 1: it is when he was about the seven yard line,
- 23:44Speaker 1: I was saying, it's preseason go down. Yeah, but that's
- 23:47Speaker 1: not what he is. And I would have rather not
- 23:51Speaker 1: had to put the head down and try to score
- 23:52Speaker 1: a moment. But that's what he is. Let's take a
- 23:55Speaker 1: look at I remember I was cringing when he took
- 23:57Speaker 1: that tackle. Portals on the run looking for him to
- 24:01Speaker 1: the outside, and it takes a block at a hit
- 24:04Speaker 1: and he is stopped shy at the goal line. It's
- 24:06Speaker 1: right up. I wasn't word at all. Yeah, you don't
- 24:08Speaker 1: have to go full on Zonc in the preseason play.
- 24:11Speaker 1: I mean, but he's pounds, he can handle it. Yeah.
- 24:16Speaker 1: I have a feeling that coached on the sideline weren't
- 24:18Speaker 1: saying that. But I just appreciated it. It didn't look
- 24:22Speaker 1: like a hard hit at all. I think you guys
- 24:24Speaker 1: are all word for nothing or soft John and I
- 24:28Speaker 1: I am. I love the fact that after the interception
- 24:34Speaker 1: he wanted to score. He wanted to put something positive
- 24:37Speaker 1: on the board. That's the number one defense in football.
- 24:40Speaker 1: We talked, We sat, we dug maron on Friday night
- 24:45Speaker 1: for a little production meeting, and he talked about, hey,
- 24:49Speaker 1: we marched out and get a fifteen play drive against
- 24:51Speaker 1: these guys, we'll know we have something, all right. Well
- 24:54Speaker 1: that was the third drive, not the first, right, but
- 24:57Speaker 1: it was a twelve play scoring drive against the number
- 24:59Speaker 1: one defense in football. Looked at me like they had
- 25:01Speaker 1: something that also came back the next series they didn't score.
- 25:06Speaker 1: It was when Lambo's fifty six yard or fell short. Uh,
- 25:10Speaker 1: And I believe it got I believe it got hung
- 25:13Speaker 1: up by penalties. But there are a couple of impressive throws.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Was that drive? There were two drove the next one,
- 25:21Speaker 1: and so they had a back to back drives where
- 25:23Speaker 1: they got it going after that. Um, you know, I
- 25:26Speaker 1: guess I just saw too much from this offense that
- 25:28Speaker 1: I'm not as worried as the people outside the gates are.
- 25:34Speaker 1: All right, let's go to our final. We have heard
- 25:37Speaker 1: so much about this wide receiver battle. Rare Shad Green
- 25:40Speaker 1: on special teams show speed on a fifty six yard return,
- 25:44Speaker 1: making defenders miss left and right. Sean Green's got it
- 25:47Speaker 1: at the forty of Bates One defender now running back
- 25:49Speaker 1: reversing his field. He's got a wall of white shirts
- 25:51Speaker 1: and room to run. Bars can get a couple of
- 25:54Speaker 1: blocks here where shot Green couldn't get the chance to
- 25:57Speaker 1: win the ball game. He still on his feet at
- 25:58Speaker 1: the five, doubt at the four. Pretty good stuff, you know.
- 26:02Speaker 1: A coach told me on the plane ride up to
- 26:04Speaker 1: Minneapolis last Tuesday that Green was an interesting guy. He
- 26:07Speaker 1: was competing, but not just as a return man, but
- 26:12Speaker 1: in coverage as well, and obviously a wide receiver. And
- 26:16Speaker 1: this is the type of performance we've seen from Rashade
- 26:19Speaker 1: Green since the O t A s He's not the biggest,
- 26:22Speaker 1: he's not the fastest, he's not the flashiest at all,
- 26:24Speaker 1: but he makes things happen when given an opportunity. And
- 26:28Speaker 1: he makes mistakes as well. He did against the Saints
- 26:30Speaker 1: when he muffed that punt. Looks like he's acquitted himself
- 26:32Speaker 1: well of that and really going to give these guys
- 26:34Speaker 1: a major headache when it comes to cut down day
- 26:37Speaker 1: at a group at wide receiver, where keeping six now
- 26:40Speaker 1: looks like it's a really viable option. Absolutely and say,
- 26:44Speaker 1: he's not that bad he keeps six. He's that that fast,
- 26:47Speaker 1: He's not a straight four three guy. He's quick, He's
- 26:51Speaker 1: suddenly changes his field. He's not that big, he's not
- 26:54Speaker 1: that fast, but he got down the field. Look at
- 26:56Speaker 1: the blocks in front of him. I think they have
- 26:58Speaker 1: to keep six. When I don't know is if I
- 27:02Speaker 1: don't know that he's going to make the team over
- 27:04Speaker 1: mickens Um. But what it does give you is terrific
- 27:10Speaker 1: options if there's an injury in the receiver corps Um.
- 27:14Speaker 1: He's a better receiver than Mickens is Yeah, And that's
- 27:17Speaker 1: still i've I've said since we started this thing right
- 27:20Speaker 1: before training camp. I still think if if Westbrooker Green
- 27:25Speaker 1: win the punt returner job, then I think Green's on
- 27:28Speaker 1: the team. If Mickens wins the punt returner job, which
- 27:32Speaker 1: right now, I still feel like he's the guy with
- 27:34Speaker 1: special teams who has a better chance to make it
- 27:37Speaker 1: than I thought at the beginning of training camp. I
- 27:39Speaker 1: just think this is a brutally tough spot, whereas usually, Brian,
- 27:43Speaker 1: as you know, the decisions on cutdown day usually aren't
- 27:47Speaker 1: as tough as we make them out to be. I
- 27:49Speaker 1: think on this one, so that one is, and what
- 27:51Speaker 1: we don't know because because we don't have that tape,
- 27:53Speaker 1: is how he did in coverage. But if ra Sean
- 27:56Speaker 1: Green returns like that, catches a couple of passes like
- 27:59Speaker 1: he did from this, because he's a true slot receiver,
- 28:01Speaker 1: and I don't know that you can say that they
- 28:02Speaker 1: have a true slot receiver on this roster other than
- 28:05Speaker 1: him and can give them something on coverage. I don't
- 28:08Speaker 1: know how you don't keep him over Mickens. He's a
- 28:10Speaker 1: better receiver than Mickens. We'll see. It was funny. I
- 28:13Speaker 1: was standing behind the bench right before that play and
- 28:15Speaker 1: Leonard for Nett was joking around, dancing, and he looks
- 28:18Speaker 1: at a fan behind the bench right before that kickoff
- 28:20Speaker 1: and says, this will be a touchdown. Watch and he's
- 28:22Speaker 1: running down the field and he's jumping on the bench.
- 28:25Speaker 1: He probably said that eight or nine times, probably, but
- 28:28Speaker 1: I just happened to catch him at that time. But
- 28:30Speaker 1: that hyped up the entire bench at the very end
- 28:32Speaker 1: of the game. All right, So there's highlights for you.
- 28:35Speaker 1: Don't forget. Our Twitter poll is after watching on Saturday,
- 28:40Speaker 1: who are you most excited about? Yanique and Gokway is

- 30:28Speaker 1: back to Jack's Drive Time on a beautiful Monday morning
- 30:30Speaker 1: here in Jacksonville. Glad to be back after spending almost
- 30:33Speaker 1: a week in Minneapolis, which by the way, is an
- 30:36Speaker 1: excellent city. I really enjoyed it. Nice downtown, nice uh
- 30:40Speaker 1: nice people on a couple of long walks and talk
- 30:43Speaker 1: to some folks and they're very proud of their city.
- 30:45Speaker 1: They should be a good city it too. I was
- 30:48Speaker 1: surprised by how much there was to do there. Oh no,
- 30:50Speaker 1: it's a major metropolitan area. Major lots to do, you know,
- 30:54Speaker 1: when you think about it. They've got hockey over in St. Paul.
- 30:56Speaker 1: The Wild play there. They obviously have the Timberwolves, and
- 30:59Speaker 1: the Twins were home the whole time we were there. Ryan,
- 31:01Speaker 1: I mean talking about supporting four big sports franchises, and
- 31:06Speaker 1: all of them are are well attended. And they're building
- 31:09Speaker 1: that huge soccer stadium. We drove past it and it
- 31:11Speaker 1: looks like a football stadium. Absolutely. Now, Mineapolis is a
- 31:13Speaker 1: great place. So time for ozone snapshot. Oh yeah, here
- 31:18Speaker 1: we go, all right, Krusty from right below Freddy T's
- 31:21Speaker 1: Ring of honor. I hope for one week every safety
- 31:25Speaker 1: in the league, instead of tackling receivers over the middle,
- 31:27Speaker 1: throws his hand up to avoid a penalty and lets
- 31:29Speaker 1: the receiver run free. Then Hopefully the NFL will realize
- 31:33Speaker 1: that by removing the element of danger, they're going to
- 31:36Speaker 1: bury it. The game was founded on danger. The fans
- 31:39Speaker 1: don't want a second MBA. Yeah, you know, I understand this.
- 31:44Speaker 1: I just I guess I'm not as I'm concerned about
- 31:49Speaker 1: the way it's getting called. I think everybody is. I'm
- 31:52Speaker 1: not as angry with the NFL for the rule, and
- 31:57Speaker 1: I don't think it's a it's a malicious lead done real.
- 32:00Speaker 1: The NFL didn't want to do this. Nobody in the
- 32:03Speaker 1: league office was saying, hey, ideally, let's take these huge
- 32:09Speaker 1: hits out of the game. They're great for television. But
- 32:11Speaker 1: from a saving the game standpoint and from a trying
- 32:15Speaker 1: to protect these players standpoint, it had to be done.
- 32:17Speaker 1: So this is a dilemma, but it's it's nobody's fault
- 32:21Speaker 1: and he's trying to do anything evil here. You just
- 32:23Speaker 1: gave people a real clue into the way that a
- 32:26Speaker 1: lot of us think. You didn't say fixed the game,
- 32:28Speaker 1: you said save the game. There's an element of you.
- 32:31Speaker 1: I think that's the driving element of this right now.
- 32:34Speaker 1: Because the concussion lawsuit, they had almost a billion dollars
- 32:37Speaker 1: set aside in that in that pool for players, right
- 32:41Speaker 1: that is always being evaluated by federal judges. I mean,
- 32:45Speaker 1: this is the concussion thing, um, equipment manufacturers. There's a
- 32:49Speaker 1: lot of people involved in this thing. It's much bigger
- 32:51Speaker 1: than just the league office saying, well, let's arbitrarily try
- 32:54Speaker 1: to make the game safer. No, they're trying to save
- 32:56Speaker 1: the game by making it safer because they could lose
- 33:00Speaker 1: it if they don't. We are at a tipping point
- 33:03Speaker 1: right now where they've got to find the balance between
- 33:07Speaker 1: what is safe and what is still football. What will
- 33:10Speaker 1: bring you to still watch the Gladiator game? And it's
- 33:14Speaker 1: not like, you know, this is still I get that
- 33:18Speaker 1: we're all seeing it and we're seeing games and we
- 33:21Speaker 1: want to react to it. This is still It's not
- 33:25Speaker 1: a great word considering it's it's people's safety, but it's
- 33:30Speaker 1: still a rough draft of this in terms of how
- 33:32Speaker 1: they're calling it. And in talking to boy after the
- 33:36Speaker 1: game who was called for a very weird penalty, he
- 33:42Speaker 1: wasn't incredibly upset. It was preseason, so he wasn't you know,
- 33:46Speaker 1: did cost him a game, but he said the official
- 33:49Speaker 1: told him, hey, this is a tough rule to call,
- 33:51Speaker 1: and a j didn't say this, but you got the
- 33:53Speaker 1: idea of the official was saying, we're trying to figure
- 33:55Speaker 1: this out, and the official worked with him and said, hey,
- 33:59Speaker 1: if you on this, we wouldn't have called it. Uh.
- 34:03Speaker 1: A J said that the official actually told him because
- 34:05Speaker 1: he went so low, and A J was like, well,
- 34:07Speaker 1: that's what we're taught to do, go lower when it's
- 34:10Speaker 1: a bigger player. So that's what has to be worked out.
- 34:12Speaker 1: Did you see Stefon Digg's comment after practice on thursdayd
- 34:15Speaker 1: you see that in the paper? H He said he
- 34:17Speaker 1: would rather take the shot to the head than to
- 34:19Speaker 1: the legs. I think about that for a while. He
- 34:22Speaker 1: said he'd rather take the pop up top exactly because
- 34:26Speaker 1: they know that take their leg out, it's a long
- 34:29Speaker 1: term injury. Look, the interesting dynamic with what what you
- 34:33Speaker 1: said and what I firmly believe, you know, save the game.
- 34:36Speaker 1: So the players Association, they're right in the middle of
- 34:39Speaker 1: this because they have to think about the safety of
- 34:42Speaker 1: their players, their members. But the job, right, the high
- 34:45Speaker 1: paying job, is based on the television ratings in people's interest.
- 34:48Speaker 1: So while I totally get Krusty's comment, because at some
- 34:51Speaker 1: point people don't want to watch basketball, on grass and
- 34:54Speaker 1: you can't ever legislate out the dangerous part of the game.
- 34:57Speaker 1: It just is get Tony Bosellion here and let him
- 35:00Speaker 1: go off on this. It is a long conversation, so
- 35:04Speaker 1: there has to be a bit of patience on the
- 35:06Speaker 1: part of us, the media and the fans as well,
- 35:09Speaker 1: and the players and the coaches, as you've strived to
- 35:11Speaker 1: find that line where the game is perfectly balanced. They're
- 35:16Speaker 1: not there yet, and there eventually, I believe will will
- 35:20Speaker 1: come into this. An element of getting back to did
- 35:23Speaker 1: it look intentional? As if you're trying to use your
- 35:28Speaker 1: equipment as a weapon, meaning your head. And the reason
- 35:33Speaker 1: that the league has tried to go away from that
- 35:36Speaker 1: sort of judgment was shown in the play on the
- 35:42Speaker 1: vikings that they didn't like, meaning the referee had to
- 35:45Speaker 1: judge on that play, the one I was talking about
- 35:46Speaker 1: the first half where he used his body weight, there
- 35:49Speaker 1: was a judgment of did he in the middle of
- 35:52Speaker 1: the play tried to do this? Well, that's where you
- 35:57Speaker 1: get judgment into it, and that's where you get all
- 35:59Speaker 1: these debates. Sense. It makes people angry, so they're back
- 36:02Speaker 1: to what they have tried to legislate out for twenty
- 36:05Speaker 1: years of bringing judgment back into these things. Um, it's necessary,
- 36:10Speaker 1: but it's going to cause a lot of these conversations.
- 36:13Speaker 1: We are at a key moment in the history of
- 36:15Speaker 1: the game as they look to the future and they
- 36:17Speaker 1: are trying to solve it right now. They'd rather solve
- 36:19Speaker 1: it themselves than have one court settlement, you know, one
- 36:23Speaker 1: lawsuit that settles it for them. Absolutely no one wants that. No,
- 36:27Speaker 1: all right, let's go to Charlie from Jacksonville. Hey, John,
- 36:31Speaker 1: since when is an unsports and like penalty to celebrate
- 36:33Speaker 1: a sack? Frankly, I could have done without most of
- 36:36Speaker 1: that celebrating myself. But I was quite quite surprised by
- 36:39Speaker 1: that call. Well, it's gave me a sportsman like conduct
- 36:43Speaker 1: penalty to tell it when you sit, when you celebrate
- 36:46Speaker 1: it like that. Yeah, I can't do that. I was
- 36:49Speaker 1: told after the game. I asked two different people. It
- 36:51Speaker 1: was the sexual nature of the celebration, those words, right,
- 36:55Speaker 1: So there you go. I'm not a big celebration guy either. Um,
- 36:59Speaker 1: but that's it. I'm like a lot of we're talking about.
- 37:03Speaker 1: This is an easy teaching the point. Don't you don't
- 37:05Speaker 1: do that? Don't just don't do that alright, last one,
- 37:09Speaker 1: big on Blake from Philly. Really, I can't believe I'm
- 37:13Speaker 1: still reading articles from people not even qualified to take
- 37:16Speaker 1: out the trash at t I a a bank field
- 37:18Speaker 1: about whether the Jags should trade for Bridgewater after two
- 37:21Speaker 1: preseason series against the last year's best defense. Just stop.
- 37:26Speaker 1: This is getting ridiculous. It sounds like he's banging his
- 37:29Speaker 1: head for you today. Yeah, that sounds like John, did
- 37:31Speaker 1: you write that? Yeah? Big on Blake from Philly is big.
- 37:33Speaker 1: He's big on Blake and he's from Philly. Um, I
- 37:41Speaker 1: think we've said enough about it, haven't we. There's really
- 37:43Speaker 1: there's nowhere else you can go with this. He came
- 37:45Speaker 1: back and overcame two second and long on the very
- 37:49Speaker 1: next drive, and then ran at fourteen yards, which I loved,
- 37:52Speaker 1: even though John and Ashley clearly were in favor of
- 37:55Speaker 1: tough game for tough people. UM, say something about that
- 37:57Speaker 1: fifteen yard completion to Monk Grief there, because you I
- 38:00Speaker 1: talked about that on the plane right home. In fact,
- 38:01Speaker 1: that's the first play that you brought up to me. Um.
- 38:05Speaker 1: I thought it was this. I thought it was good.
- 38:07Speaker 1: It was a good throw by Blake, and I thought
- 38:09Speaker 1: he had a couple like that. I thought he had
- 38:11Speaker 1: one to Marquise Lee that was equally impressive. Efficient, What
- 38:15Speaker 1: are we wanna call it? To me? If Moncrieff consider
- 38:19Speaker 1: the way they want to in this offense, you can
- 38:21Speaker 1: see how many receivers they have. If Moncrieff makes that
- 38:24Speaker 1: kind of play once a half the entire season. Um,
- 38:28Speaker 1: now you say that that'd only be thirty two receptions
- 38:31Speaker 1: for the season. So I guess that's not enough. But
- 38:33Speaker 1: if he makes that sort of play with that sort
- 38:36Speaker 1: of separation, using his size, using his ability to get open,
- 38:41Speaker 1: that gives them two first downs a game moves to change.
- 38:44Speaker 1: That's so I think that's what they got him for,
- 38:46Speaker 1: is that's sort of we can rely on this guy
- 38:50Speaker 1: to make this sort of a professional play. You don't
- 38:53Speaker 1: know that the young guys can do that quite yet. No,
- 38:56Speaker 1: And remember when Allen Robinson went down last year in Houston.
- 38:59Speaker 1: That was the one thing we thought we miss is
- 39:00Speaker 1: the close, contested third down where he'd be able to
- 39:03Speaker 1: use his big body and take the ball away from
- 39:05Speaker 1: the defender. Clearly, Dante Moncreep has the ability to play
- 39:09Speaker 1: that way too. Right to me, the gamble with mon
- 39:11Speaker 1: Creef is not whether you know, it's been a weird
- 39:17Speaker 1: signing for people to interpret because they see his numbers
- 39:19Speaker 1: and they don't know why would you pay him so much.
- 39:23Speaker 1: It's not a matter of what he'll bring you on
- 39:25Speaker 1: the field. It's so clearly, if he can stay healthy,
- 39:29Speaker 1: he will be a perfectly good one year signing for
- 39:32Speaker 1: this team. If he can't, that's the only danger to me,
- 39:36Speaker 1: not how he's going to perform on the field. We
- 39:38Speaker 1: take a break, come back with one more segment of

- 41:05Speaker 1: TRUSTe Rundown tells me that we are going to review
- 41:10Speaker 1: the results of the Twitter pole Ashlyn. Where are we
- 41:13Speaker 1: at right now? After watching Saturday? I'm most excited by
- 41:17Speaker 1: a fifty nine percent, say unique in Gowckway. And there's
- 41:20Speaker 1: an interesting comment here Ronnie Harrison. I'm most excited to
- 41:23Speaker 1: see what he can become in Gockway, the most exciting
- 41:26Speaker 1: for the upcoming season. However, I um I loved watching
- 41:29Speaker 1: Ronnie Harrison. I mean he made a couple of plays.
- 41:32Speaker 1: The sideline tackle has been celebrated by a lot of
- 41:34Speaker 1: people because it was the kind of lead with the
- 41:37Speaker 1: shoulder head to the chest, but a big play where
- 41:40Speaker 1: he blew the running back. The kid Mike Boone from
- 41:44Speaker 1: Baker County blew him up on the sideline. He showed
- 41:46Speaker 1: great range he forced the fumble. I mean, he looks
- 41:49Speaker 1: like a guy we talked about these first three round picks,
- 41:52Speaker 1: Taven Brian in particular and Ronnie Harrison being guys that
- 41:56Speaker 1: you have to get results from for your captives stay
- 42:00Speaker 1: healthy long term. He looks like a keeper. To me,
- 42:04Speaker 1: it looks like they've gotten It's so really to say
- 42:06Speaker 1: on Tavan Brian, I'm assuming he's going to be good
- 42:09Speaker 1: until I see that he's not, because everybody says he is.
- 42:12Speaker 1: I think they've got three there who they're in good shape.
- 42:15Speaker 1: Along with DJHR a couple of NFL headlines for you
- 42:18Speaker 1: from the weekend, and we'll lead with number one being
- 42:21Speaker 1: something left in the tank apparently for Adrian Peterson, the
- 42:24Speaker 1: thirty three year old who played last season in Arizona.
- 42:28Speaker 1: We saw him had a couple of big games for
- 42:30Speaker 1: the Cardinals, is visiting the Redskins now. They lost DJ Geiss.
- 42:34Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Darius, guys, they lost Darius guys. And so
- 42:38Speaker 1: they're looking at Peterson and the thirty one year old
- 42:41Speaker 1: Jamal Charles in particular, UH Zack Martin the highest paid
- 42:47Speaker 1: offensive lineman interior offensive lineman UH in Pro football. He
- 42:51Speaker 1: surpassed Andrew Norwell, who signed here for thirteen million dollars
- 42:55Speaker 1: a year. He got eighty four million with forty million guaranteed. UH.
- 43:00Speaker 1: Off the field with what looked like an ugly knee
- 43:02Speaker 1: injury for the Cowboys on Saturday, and it turns out
- 43:06Speaker 1: he's okay, probably won't play again in the preseason. A
- 43:09Speaker 1: bone bruise, hyper extended, but no knee damage. So hey,
- 43:13Speaker 1: when you're all pro incredibly expensive heartbeat of your offensive
- 43:17Speaker 1: line and that's considered the best line in football is
- 43:20Speaker 1: available to you, good for them. UH. And finally, Jacoby
- 43:24Speaker 1: Brissette was traded about this time last year, right from
- 43:30Speaker 1: the Patriots to the Colts, and now the Seahawks reportedly
- 43:34Speaker 1: sent feelers out. You know what would it take for
- 43:36Speaker 1: you to send Jacoby Brissette to us? And apparently Jim
- 43:41Speaker 1: Mercy has stood strong and said, we're not trading the
- 43:43Speaker 1: best backup quarterback in football? Is he the best backup
- 43:47Speaker 1: in football? Well he's okay. I mean he's uh. I
- 43:54Speaker 1: was still young when he was doing what he's doing
- 43:56Speaker 1: last year and playing with a team that was not
- 43:59Speaker 1: great around him. So I think you feel good if
- 44:02Speaker 1: you've got him. I had heard they the Seahawks were
- 44:06Speaker 1: offering a second round pick. I thought I saw that,
- 44:09Speaker 1: but I could be If they're offering that much, that's
- 44:13Speaker 1: a lot. So I didn't see that in him last year.
- 44:16Speaker 1: That's wrong. Maybe someone else did. And it proves that
- 44:19Speaker 1: we're not always right. Do you know that? What? I
- 44:22Speaker 1: don't even be the sally here just sight. Obviously he's
- 44:27Speaker 1: got some value if people think he's that good that
- 44:29Speaker 1: they're willing to trade a second on pick. I just
- 44:30Speaker 1: didn't see it the two games that we played. Of course,
- 44:32Speaker 1: he was playing the best defensor at the second best
- 44:34Speaker 1: defensive football. That has to factor into it. Um. Busy
- 44:38Speaker 1: week around here. This is the game plan week. They
- 44:41Speaker 1: kind of go into a regular season mode here, kind
- 44:45Speaker 1: of not fully because they're still in camp mode to
- 44:48Speaker 1: some degree until next week. I think they break camp
- 44:50Speaker 1: after this week, right, Um? Jaylen Ramsey's back, Dante Faller Jr.
- 44:54Speaker 1: Is back? Am I missing anything? Uh? Premiere over all
