Speaker 1: Jeffu Wars did Jack Jack Warris, did you Jaguars Drive Time?
0:08
Speaker 1: Ryan Sex steps to John. Actually, Jaguars Drive Time starts
0:15
Speaker 1: right now. Good morning, Happy Friday. Welcome into Jaguars Drive Time,
0:21
Speaker 1: presented by the Fields Auto Group. We start every Friday
0:24
Speaker 1: morning with head coach Doug Morrow for coffee with the
0:27
Speaker 1: coach coach, Good morning, the Jaguars getting ready to take
0:30
Speaker 1: on the Steelers on Sunday, and we listen to Steelers
0:33
Speaker 1: head coach Mike Tomlin's press conference earlier in the weekend.
0:36
Speaker 1: He had an interesting quote saying that the Steelers aren't
0:40
Speaker 1: preparing to take on Jimmy Smith and the Jaguars aren't
0:43
Speaker 1: preparing to take on Jerome Bettis this week. The history
0:46
Speaker 1: is just history. So my question is how much do
0:49
Speaker 1: you talk to this team about this rivalry. It's always interesting,
0:52
Speaker 1: but does that really matter this week? No, I don't.
0:56
Speaker 1: I don't think it does. I think it makes for
0:58
Speaker 1: good commentary. And you know, I know that um in
1:02
Speaker 1: the past, you know, you know are you know the
1:05
Speaker 1: Jaguars in Pittsburgh have always played in tough games, and
1:08
Speaker 1: you know, I think you know, they go back to
1:10
Speaker 1: you know, the two thousand seventeen year where we were
1:13
Speaker 1: fortunate to beat him twice up there, and then you know,
1:15
Speaker 1: in two eighteen, I believe they came down here and
1:18
Speaker 1: with a close game and they winded up beating us.
1:20
Speaker 1: So I think a lot of people look at that.
1:22
Speaker 1: But obviously, you know, things change in this league, you
1:25
Speaker 1: know every year, and um, you know, they're you know,
1:28
Speaker 1: they're a team that's coming down here. They're they're not
1:30
Speaker 1: to know, they've got a lot going for him, and um,
1:33
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna come down here and try to
1:34
Speaker 1: keep that strict going and we're excited about playing a
1:37
Speaker 1: great football team in Pittsburgh. Coach. For some reason, it
1:44
Speaker 1: always seems to me like Mike Comlin gets overlooked when
1:47
Speaker 1: people talk about great coaches in this league. I know
1:50
Speaker 1: you don't overlook him. I know you respect him a lot.
1:53
Speaker 1: What is it about his teams that you respect and admire?
1:58
Speaker 1: I think I think you get the whole organization. I mean,
2:01
Speaker 1: you know you're talking about for decades. You know they've
2:04
Speaker 1: they've been, um, you know, really probably dominent on the
2:08
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, you know, more than more
2:11
Speaker 1: than anything. Um, you know, they've they've got a lot
2:14
Speaker 1: of good players, and it just seems like a year
2:16
Speaker 1: and a year out there. They're they're always tough, they're
2:19
Speaker 1: always um. You know, they're a tough out, you know,
2:21
Speaker 1: I mean too, you know, go against that defense and
2:24
Speaker 1: I think you know, Ben has been there for about
2:26
Speaker 1: seventeen years now, and I don't know if he's ever
2:28
Speaker 1: had a losing season in full season, you know, since
2:31
Speaker 1: he's been the quarterback. So you know, not only you
2:34
Speaker 1: have a great defense that's been going for every year
2:36
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, you've got a quarterback that's potentially
2:39
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame, UM. You know that's never
2:42
Speaker 1: had a losing season and UM, and you've got a
2:45
Speaker 1: lot of good personnel around them, so you know they've
2:47
Speaker 1: done a great job. And not to say that, you know,
2:50
Speaker 1: you know, Mike's not a big part of it. He is.
2:51
Speaker 1: I think he does a great job with his player,
2:53
Speaker 1: does a great job with the UM. I always had
2:56
Speaker 1: a lot of respect from Mike. We're friends, so you know,
2:59
Speaker 1: we have gone up there in the past when I've
3:01
Speaker 1: been a head coaching Buffalo and practiced against him for
3:03
Speaker 1: a couple of days and you know, really got a
3:06
Speaker 1: lot of great work in so UM you know, just
3:08
Speaker 1: you know, from top to bottom at the at the
3:10
Speaker 1: class class organization. Something you said this week about their
3:15
Speaker 1: front seven really struck me. He said it might be
3:19
Speaker 1: the best Steelers front seven you've seen, which puts them
3:22
Speaker 1: above a lot of really good front sevens. How good
3:25
Speaker 1: is that group? And I guess how important is it
3:27
Speaker 1: to do what you talked about earlier in the week,
3:29
Speaker 1: stay in the game, stay close, keep situations manageable. Yeah,
3:35
Speaker 1: I think I think it's a it's a great challenge.
3:36
Speaker 1: And I said, you know, the best front seven and
3:38
Speaker 1: I've seen as a coach. I mean, obviously I don't
3:40
Speaker 1: want to go back to when you know Lambert and
3:43
Speaker 1: you know whatever you Lambert and Andy Russell and I
3:47
Speaker 1: mean they they've had unbelievable front sevens, you know, during
3:51
Speaker 1: the seventies. But as far as for me, when I
3:53
Speaker 1: when I've been in the league coaching and everything, I
3:55
Speaker 1: think this front seven is is good good. I think,
3:58
Speaker 1: you know, they just keep switching us with the productions there,
4:01
Speaker 1: whether it's you know Kevin Green and Greg Lloyd and
4:03
Speaker 1: now you got Bud dupri and t J. Watt. Plus
4:06
Speaker 1: you know, Cam Haywood's been there for you know such
4:08
Speaker 1: a long time has been a really good football player
4:11
Speaker 1: for him and Truant and you know he's playing outstanding
4:14
Speaker 1: right now. You know, they lost uh, you know Bush,
4:17
Speaker 1: the linebacker that they've had from Michigan, who the heck
4:19
Speaker 1: of a player. But you know, it doesn't seem to
4:21
Speaker 1: have stopped them. I think you know, they're number one
4:23
Speaker 1: in sacks and number two and quarterback hits, you know,
4:26
Speaker 1: as far as the football team, and you know, if
4:28
Speaker 1: you get into you know, tough situations, they can they
4:32
Speaker 1: can really really cause some for you out there. Hey, coach,
4:39
Speaker 1: you know, we spent so much time this week talking
4:41
Speaker 1: about Ben Roethlisberger and those three whiteouts, but we haven't
4:45
Speaker 1: talked about what the Steelers identity has long been, and
4:48
Speaker 1: that's their running game. What have you seen from this group?
4:51
Speaker 1: But I mean, in all the years twenty seven years
4:53
Speaker 1: that I've covered Jaguar Steelers games, they have always had
4:56
Speaker 1: a dominant running back who has been able to set
4:58
Speaker 1: the tone and make things happened. But we just haven't
5:00
Speaker 1: talked about it this week. People are so focused on
5:03
Speaker 1: the passing attack. What do you see from the running game. Well,
5:07
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the things that they came
5:08
Speaker 1: out early in a week with and saying that you know,
5:10
Speaker 1: they wanted to get a little bit more focused on
5:12
Speaker 1: the run game. I think that you know, Ben's playing
5:14
Speaker 1: at a very high level with those receivers and their
5:17
Speaker 1: six you know, total offense, they're scoring a bunch of points. So, um,
5:21
Speaker 1: you know they don't they're not going to really start
5:24
Speaker 1: changing anything from that respect, but I think I think
5:28
Speaker 1: they're taking a good look now and saying, hey, listen,
5:30
Speaker 1: you know when the playoffs come around, because there'll be
5:32
Speaker 1: a playoff team and you know, one of the things
5:34
Speaker 1: when you're playing in the Northeast, you know, you've gotta
5:35
Speaker 1: be able to tackle, you gotta be able to be physical.
5:38
Speaker 1: James Conner is the heck of a running back. You know,
5:40
Speaker 1: we've seen them now over the years, and um, I
5:44
Speaker 1: think I think they're going to try to re establish
5:46
Speaker 1: that and put a little bit more emphasis on it
5:48
Speaker 1: so this way they can you know, continue to build
5:50
Speaker 1: that and then when you get the running game and
5:51
Speaker 1: the passing game going like the way they have, then
5:54
Speaker 1: you know, obviously they're they're tough being the beat and
5:57
Speaker 1: just I know you're focused on this week big picture,
6:00
Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier this week that the Stealers have been
6:03
Speaker 1: winners for fifty years, right since Chuck Nol took over,
6:06
Speaker 1: and you obviously had a relationship with coach Nold. It's
6:09
Speaker 1: so hard to become consistent. That seems almost impossible that
6:13
Speaker 1: the length of time that they've been consistent from your perspective,
6:17
Speaker 1: all the years you've done this, what does it take.
6:20
Speaker 1: Is it a quarterback, is it a coach, is it
6:22
Speaker 1: a an owner? And what creates the kind of consistency
6:26
Speaker 1: that you're looking for. I think it's everything. I think
6:30
Speaker 1: it's everything that you just said. I think that you know,
6:33
Speaker 1: I think from a defensive identity, they've had a lot
6:35
Speaker 1: of you know, defensive coordinators over the years, Dicklebob. You know,
6:39
Speaker 1: it's probably one of the best that I've ever gone against. Um,
6:43
Speaker 1: you know, but as far as the scheme of the defense,
6:46
Speaker 1: you know, it's changed. You know, each coordinator has a
6:48
Speaker 1: little bit of a change in it. But the body
6:52
Speaker 1: type and the type of players that they're getting at
6:53
Speaker 1: those positions seems to have haven't changed for years since
6:56
Speaker 1: the seventies, So there's been a lot of consistency there.
7:00
Speaker 1: And then you know, obviously when you get a quarterback
7:02
Speaker 1: that's played seventeen years, you know you're gonna have you know,
7:04
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to have one a lot of football games.
7:07
Speaker 1: And I think that you know, just your organization and
7:10
Speaker 1: what everyone thinks about the Steelers. They think about physical
7:12
Speaker 1: and toughness, and you know they have skill. You know,
7:15
Speaker 1: there's just there's just a lot of things that you
7:17
Speaker 1: know they have as a culture. Uh, you know that
7:20
Speaker 1: helps them when players walk into the building. You know,
7:23
Speaker 1: the expectations there. Um, you know, the history is there, Uh,
7:27
Speaker 1: ownerships there. So I think just from top to bottom, Um,
7:32
Speaker 1: that's how you create the consistency. It just can't come from,
7:34
Speaker 1: you know, one facet of of an organization coach. I
7:40
Speaker 1: was talking to Tony Baselli earlier this week and we
7:42
Speaker 1: were talking about the offensive line last week in Green Bay.
7:45
Speaker 1: Overall a great game, but what stands out is that
7:48
Speaker 1: final drive with those two sacks, and Tony was saying,
7:51
Speaker 1: that's what's so hard about being an offensive lineman is
7:54
Speaker 1: that spotlight is on you and when things go wrong,
7:57
Speaker 1: everyone knows it. So for Cam Robinson and Jawan Taylor
8:00
Speaker 1: this week, who definitely would like to have that final
8:03
Speaker 1: drive back how do you shake that off so quickly
8:06
Speaker 1: preparing for the Steelers pass rush that's one of the
8:09
Speaker 1: best in the league. Yeah, I think you know it
8:12
Speaker 1: probably Lingers, you know, for a couple of days, you know,
8:15
Speaker 1: and then I think you got to move on and
8:16
Speaker 1: then get a game plan and focus on your opponent.
8:18
Speaker 1: I don't think that. Um, you know, things like that
8:21
Speaker 1: happened during the course of the game. Um, you know,
8:23
Speaker 1: when you're gonna get beat anyone, you know. I used
8:25
Speaker 1: to always say, if you've never been beaten, you never
8:27
Speaker 1: really played. I mean, everyone's gonna get beat How do
8:30
Speaker 1: you come back from it? As obviously important way to
8:32
Speaker 1: shake it off. So I think both of those guys, um,
8:35
Speaker 1: you know, disappointed. Um you know how they performed at
8:38
Speaker 1: the end of the last game. But you know, now
8:40
Speaker 1: they've got to come back and have a strong game
8:42
Speaker 1: against Um, you know the two top pass rushes, you know,
8:46
Speaker 1: tandem in the in the league right now and Kapri
8:48
Speaker 1: and t J. Watt, So you know, they've got their
8:50
Speaker 1: hands filled. They they've they've got to really play well
8:53
Speaker 1: for us, and they understand that, all right, because stinks
9:00

Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine. Well back Jack's drive time Friday morning,
12:02
Speaker 1: which means we get into a game preview presented by
12:04
Speaker 1: simply io a Jaguars and Dealers on Sunday, and the
12:09
Speaker 1: first thing we're going to focus on is protecting your quarterback.
12:12
Speaker 1: This pass rush is the best in the league, leads
12:15
Speaker 1: the NFL and sacks enforced turnovers stay competitive in this game.
12:19
Speaker 1: You have to give Jake Luton a chance and contain
12:23
Speaker 1: that pass rush, keep it under pressure throughout the game
12:26
Speaker 1: to give your quarterback a chance here in this game.
12:29
Speaker 1: All right, big thing too that we're gonna focus on
12:31
Speaker 1: is give him the ball no matter what, no matter
12:34
Speaker 1: who the opponent is. This season, offense runs through running
12:37
Speaker 1: back James Robinson. That does not change this week. Rely
12:41
Speaker 1: on him. Use the run to set up the past.
12:43
Speaker 1: You're not get intimidated by the Steelers pass rush and
12:46
Speaker 1: try to change things up. James Robinson works. Continue to
12:50
Speaker 1: use him. Third thing we focus on, do your job
12:53
Speaker 1: on defense. Dealers have a ton of offensive weapons, especially
12:58
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. D J. Henderson unfortunately was placed on
13:02
Speaker 1: injured reserve yesterday with a groin injury. So this is
13:05
Speaker 1: a big test for this secondary and pass us to
13:07
Speaker 1: try to disrupt the Steelers passing game, which is definitely
13:10
Speaker 1: playing at an all time level. And Brian, that's the
13:13
Speaker 1: biggest thing that stands out, is this secondary without c J.
13:17
Speaker 1: Henderson going against guys like Juju Smith Schuster. You want
13:20
Speaker 1: to try to limit the explosive plays as much as possible. Well,
13:24
Speaker 1: I mean, if d J. Hayden comes back, that helps
13:27
Speaker 1: you quite a bit. But if c. J. Henderson's out
13:29
Speaker 1: d J. Henderson, dj H is not available to you, UM,
13:34
Speaker 1: I don't know if they can do it, which means
13:36
Speaker 1: that it goes on the offense and the offense has
13:39
Speaker 1: got to find a way to score points. Um, which
13:41
Speaker 1: takes us back to the first point, let's protect the quarterback.
13:44
Speaker 1: The thing about the zone blitz that makes it so
13:46
Speaker 1: difficult is it's nearly impossible to guess who's coming because
13:50
Speaker 1: at any moment, anybody but generally the nose tackles days
13:54
Speaker 1: in place, but anybody's dropping back into coverage and someone
13:57
Speaker 1: you don't expect is coming. You can try and guests,
14:00
Speaker 1: you can try and base it on tendencies, but through
14:03
Speaker 1: all the years, every quarterback that's face it has said
14:06
Speaker 1: you just have to be prepared. You have to see
14:08
Speaker 1: it coming when it starts, and you have to know
14:11
Speaker 1: where you're going with the football. That's a big ass
14:14
Speaker 1: john for a quarterback making his third start, which is
14:17
Speaker 1: why we go to the second big thing here, and
14:20
Speaker 1: that is going to abandon the running game. It is
14:22
Speaker 1: his best friend. Yeah, every one of these. Uh. As
14:28
Speaker 1: we went one too three, I kind of laughed and
14:31
Speaker 1: what's tough and the next one as I went, that's
14:35
Speaker 1: tough to do. Yeah, So I think that's what you're
14:37
Speaker 1: dealing with is no matter who you are, jas are struggling.
14:41
Speaker 1: But no matter what teams playing the Steelers this year,
14:44
Speaker 1: if you went down that list of things, they're tough
14:46
Speaker 1: to do. I wrote for my ten things the Jaguars
14:49
Speaker 1: need to do to win, they need to run James Robinson.
14:52
Speaker 1: And then as I wrote that, I thought to myself, well,
14:56
Speaker 1: if Jay Gruden's reading this, he's probably thinking, well, yeah, John,
15:00
Speaker 1: I'd like to do that. But if I don't stay
15:02
Speaker 1: in the game, and if I get behind on the sticks,
15:06
Speaker 1: if a run early on downs doesn't work with James Robinson,
15:09
Speaker 1: how do you stick with him? It's a giant pass.
15:12
Speaker 1: But I agree they're the best that meeting the Jaguars
15:15
Speaker 1: when they can run James Robinson. All these things are
15:18
Speaker 1: retally difficult. I want to go back and I think
15:20
Speaker 1: it's number three covering these wide receivers. This is not
15:24
Speaker 1: a team that goes deep that much anymore. They have
15:27
Speaker 1: to get on the line. They have to disrupt. Todd
15:30
Speaker 1: Wash talked a lot this week about the defensive facts
15:33
Speaker 1: are doing a good job disrupting route. That's the key
15:36
Speaker 1: against the Steelers team. I'm with Brian Without c J. Henderson,
15:39
Speaker 1: I don't know if they can do it. All these
15:41
Speaker 1: passes are tough, but they gotta do them. Yes, they do.
15:45
Speaker 1: When we focus as well on quarterback Jake Luton getting
15:48
Speaker 1: ready for his third start in the NFL, and last
15:52
Speaker 1: week was a tall task going up to Green Bay
15:54
Speaker 1: and those weather conditions, and his stats dropped off a
15:57
Speaker 1: little bit, but overall still played well. So, Brian, what
16:00
Speaker 1: would you like to see from him? He's back in
16:01
Speaker 1: Jackson Will. Obviously the Steelers defense is very talented, but
16:05
Speaker 1: you at least don't have the conditions that you had
16:08
Speaker 1: last week. Well, look, my expectations are not all that high.
16:11
Speaker 1: He's only making his third start against an enormously big
16:15
Speaker 1: challenge with this defense. I mean, not only did they
16:17
Speaker 1: leave the league in sacks, but in takeaways with seventeen.
16:20
Speaker 1: So my expectations aren't that that high to begin with.
16:23
Speaker 1: What I do hope to see is him make progress.
16:26
Speaker 1: He came out and gave us a great look at
16:30
Speaker 1: how he is capable of winning football games against the Texans.
16:33
Speaker 1: Right third play, that touchdown over the top was poised, mounted,
16:37
Speaker 1: that come from behind touchdown narrowly missed on the two
16:40
Speaker 1: point conversion, battled the wind. Well, he's a tough kid,
16:44
Speaker 1: he's tough minded. He's gonna need it on Sunday to
16:47
Speaker 1: show me progress. That's all I'm looking for. I'm not
16:49
Speaker 1: looking for a miracle. Jake Luton is not going to
16:51
Speaker 1: beat the Pittsburgh Steelers all by himself. If that's not
16:54
Speaker 1: going to happen. Um, you know Ben Roethlisberger can do
16:57
Speaker 1: that occasionally, Jake Luton cannot. I want to see him
17:00
Speaker 1: play outside of himself. Just go be you and understand
17:03
Speaker 1: this is another week that you get a chance to
17:05
Speaker 1: try to win this job. Yes, could not agree more.
17:10
Speaker 1: It was funny. I was talking John with Cam Robinson
17:12
Speaker 1: yesterday and Cam was saying, like everyone was saying, the
17:15
Speaker 1: poise stands out, the poise and the confidence. But he
17:17
Speaker 1: did say that first touchdown pass to d J. Chark,
17:20
Speaker 1: he got a little giddy in the pocket and started yelling.
17:23
Speaker 1: And then Camp said he hasn't heard yelling since. But
17:26
Speaker 1: that poise you need it, especially this week. You don't
17:28
Speaker 1: want to get rattled against the Steelers team. No, you don't.
17:33
Speaker 1: And and it was Brian a second ago. I was
17:35
Speaker 1: talking about the wind in Green Baby. Maybe it was Ashley.
17:38
Speaker 1: You know, you can see his scenario midway through the
17:40
Speaker 1: first quarter playing against the Steelers where Jake Luton is like,
17:44
Speaker 1: you know, that wind wasn't so bad compared to these
17:46
Speaker 1: guys because this front seven is a monstrous task. Again.
17:53
Speaker 1: In my ten things that I wrote this week, I
17:56
Speaker 1: wrote that I would like to see Jake Luton hit
17:59
Speaker 1: some plays early and have some success with the deep ball,
18:02
Speaker 1: because I don't think it's fair to expect him to
18:05
Speaker 1: have a monster game, to have a three game where
18:09
Speaker 1: he's good the whole game. If he's going to be good,
18:12
Speaker 1: if he's going to hit some plays, hit them early
18:15
Speaker 1: to get the defense back to keep you in it.
18:18
Speaker 1: I would like to see Jake Luton hit some big
18:21
Speaker 1: plays downfield early and get the Jaguar some early points
18:24
Speaker 1: so they can get to James Robinson. I don't think
18:26
Speaker 1: it's fair to expect him to have a four touchdown
18:29
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. I could not agree more. Just want
18:32
Speaker 1: to see him progress in the upward direction. We come back.
18:36
Speaker 1: He will, he won't. He might going into this Steelers

Speaker 1: Sunday back on Jack's Drive Time Friday morning, getting ready
21:13
Speaker 1: for a big game here in Jacksonville on Sunday against
21:16
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers, which means three key
21:20
Speaker 1: players have to play really well and stand out and
21:22
Speaker 1: that's what we're here for. He will, he won't. He
21:25
Speaker 1: might Bryant sexting you have often. I'm going back to
21:30
Speaker 1: an old favorite tight end, Tyler effort Um. Look, he
21:34
Speaker 1: will become the quarterback's favorite player on Sunday. He played
21:39
Speaker 1: against the Steelers. If anyone are along that front understands
21:43
Speaker 1: what he's seeing when they snap the football, it will
21:46
Speaker 1: be him and he will become the hot read. Right,
21:50
Speaker 1: I mean, the tight end is always a quarterback's best
21:53
Speaker 1: friend against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he will be that
21:55
Speaker 1: guy on Sunday. He will move the chains and keep
21:58
Speaker 1: drives alive. You he won't. He won't be the guy
22:03
Speaker 1: that you know gets down the scene and has the
22:05
Speaker 1: thirty eight yard touchdown. He's not going to be that
22:07
Speaker 1: tight end. Um. You've got guys for that. Tyler Reifford
22:11
Speaker 1: is going to have to be a guy who works
22:13
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, works the sidelines. He's not
22:16
Speaker 1: gonna be that dynamic guy. He's just gonna be slow
22:19
Speaker 1: and steady in the middle of the field. It just
22:20
Speaker 1: slows the wrong word, because I don't think he's slow,
22:22
Speaker 1: but he's going to be steady in the middle of field.
22:24
Speaker 1: He won't be explosive. He might be the m v P.
22:27
Speaker 1: He might be the guy that catches six balls and
22:29
Speaker 1: five of them are first downs or third down conversions
22:33
Speaker 1: for first downs that keep things going win or lose.
22:37
Speaker 1: He might be the glue for this offense to be
22:39
Speaker 1: functional against Pittsburgh. He has seen them many times. He
22:42
Speaker 1: understands what he's looking at, and he'll be able to
22:45
Speaker 1: help the quarterback. I like it. We've been waiting for
22:49
Speaker 1: a big game for Tyler Eiffert. Maybe it is this week.
22:52
Speaker 1: All right, John, you're going defense side of the ball. Well,
22:55
Speaker 1: Brian's wrong. Tyler eiff is not going to be the
22:58
Speaker 1: end because my guy josh al on n B m VP,
23:02
Speaker 1: he will be fired up for this game. I really
23:05
Speaker 1: didn't know this until yesterday when he talked about it
23:07
Speaker 1: in a video conference. But he grew up a huge
23:08
Speaker 1: Steelers fan, favorite player Troy Paulo. Malo wants to hit
23:12
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger life Ben, but didn't want to be a quarterback.
23:15
Speaker 1: You want to be a wide receiver. So he'll be
23:18
Speaker 1: fired up. That'll go away after the game. But it's
23:20
Speaker 1: a good it's a good pregame storyline. I mean it'll
23:22
Speaker 1: go away during the game. It's a good pregame storyline.
23:25
Speaker 1: He won't get a bunch of sacked, mainly because the Steelers,
23:30
Speaker 1: meaning a quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, they get the ball out
23:34
Speaker 1: so fast now that it's really difficult to have the
23:39
Speaker 1: kind of pressure game that they had in two thousand
23:42
Speaker 1: seventeen when they played him. It's a different kind of offense.
23:44
Speaker 1: But he might and all he needs Brian, he might
23:48
Speaker 1: get one. He might get one sack. What they need
23:51
Speaker 1: in this game. They need a sack. They need a fumble,
23:54
Speaker 1: They need a Keeling Cole type punt return. They need
23:56
Speaker 1: one big play to keep him innute early. He might
23:59
Speaker 1: be the I had a breakthrough and get that play.
24:02
Speaker 1: If he does, if they wind up win it, maybe
24:04
Speaker 1: he beats out Tyler Eiffort for the m v P
24:06
Speaker 1: shlne They need five. They don't need one play. They
24:12
Speaker 1: need five. And I'm going back to and the five
24:15
Speaker 1: interceptions they need. They need a bunch of those. However,
24:18
Speaker 1: I will say this John, if he gets the sacks strip,
24:22
Speaker 1: say it's ten seven Steelers in the second quarter, and
24:25
Speaker 1: he gets that sack strip, but it's picked up by
24:27
Speaker 1: Miles Jack returned for a touchdown moments that you were
24:30
Speaker 1: speaking about. Uh, that can turn things around in a
24:33
Speaker 1: big way and give the Jaguars a lift when they
24:36
Speaker 1: need it the most. So maybe one would be enough.
24:40
Speaker 1: We'll see overall, turnovers would definitely help the cause. All right,
24:44
Speaker 1: I'm going offensive line from my he will he won't
24:46
Speaker 1: he my particularly Jawan Taylor, he will leave escape at home.
24:52
Speaker 1: We all know that moment last week on the final
24:54
Speaker 1: offensive drive. We just talked about it with head coach
24:56
Speaker 1: dun Brown. It happens, That's what happened when your offensive
25:00
Speaker 1: lineman in the NFL. But being an offensive lineman is
25:02
Speaker 1: so tough for that reason. He has to block that
25:05
Speaker 1: out come back this week and it's a tall task
25:08
Speaker 1: and again the Steelers pass rush, but he's gonna leave
25:10
Speaker 1: the states at home. We're not going to see that
25:12
Speaker 1: happen this week, and that'll show what a great game
25:15
Speaker 1: he's going to have. He won't be a guy we
25:17
Speaker 1: talked about postgame, and that's a good thing because we
25:20
Speaker 1: did talk about him last week Coast game. You don't
25:23
Speaker 1: want to talk about an offensive lineman in post game
25:25
Speaker 1: because that means he had a good game. Subtle day
25:29
Speaker 1: yer ground. Keep this pass rush contained. And let's not
25:32
Speaker 1: mention Jawan Taylor or Cam Robinson's name Sunday or Monday
25:37
Speaker 1: for that matter. He might be the most important player
25:40
Speaker 1: on the field Sunday. And that's a lot to say
25:42
Speaker 1: with Jake Luton in this Jaguars defense. But if the
25:46
Speaker 1: offensive line does not contain this pass rush, they have
25:49
Speaker 1: no chance of staying in this game. Offensive line huge
25:52
Speaker 1: challenge for them. They have to play well to keep
25:55
Speaker 1: this defense contained and give Jake Luton sometime that is
25:59
Speaker 1: he will, he won't. He might Three players to pay
26:02

28:25
Speaker 1: But that's only one game in this NFL weekend. We
28:28
Speaker 1: have three to preview and pick one and pickets. Bryan Sexton,
28:33
Speaker 1: you're going then the whole rival their game. I am
28:37
Speaker 1: you know. I was on the Bill's bandwagon, and then
28:39
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins crushed my victory last week with that incredible catch. UM.
28:45
Speaker 1: I go with Titans at Ravens, and you've got two
28:48
Speaker 1: teams who've kind of been headed in the opposite direction
28:50
Speaker 1: you've had. The Ravens have won three of their last
28:52
Speaker 1: four and the Titans you've lost three of their last four. UM,
28:57
Speaker 1: here's what's interesting. There are a lot of guys who
29:00
Speaker 1: have been out all week long. UM, and I'm I
29:03
Speaker 1: don't know how you pick games with COVID nineteen hanging around,
29:07
Speaker 1: because who knows who's playing um but this just feels
29:11
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill has twenty interceptions and only a party twenty touchdowns.
29:15
Speaker 1: Once the touchdowns only three interceptions. His numbers say he's
29:19
Speaker 1: had a great season, but the last three weeks he's
29:22
Speaker 1: not been the difference. And they paid him to be
29:25
Speaker 1: the difference. And yet Lamar Jackson every week makes one
29:29
Speaker 1: play that makes you say, how do you beat that?
29:32
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with the Ravens and they keep
29:34
Speaker 1: trending forward and the Titans fall backwards a little bit
29:37
Speaker 1: from the top of the a f C UM, I
29:39
Speaker 1: do think there's a wide gap between the Ravens and
29:43
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the rest of the a f C.
29:46
Speaker 1: MHM would be a huge win for the Titans to
29:49
Speaker 1: stay on the map, that's for sure. All right, I'm
29:51
Speaker 1: going Dolphins at Denver Broncos. Denver's defense has given up
29:56
Speaker 1: more than thirty points in its past four games, and
29:59
Speaker 1: the Dolphin are finding a stride a five game winning
30:03
Speaker 1: street for the Miami Dolphins. Miami's defense kind of under
30:06
Speaker 1: the radar, one of the better ones in the NFL,
30:09
Speaker 1: but everyone is paying attention to this guy. To a
30:11
Speaker 1: tug of byloa of course, But Drew lock is the
30:14
Speaker 1: person that should be paid attention to in this game.
30:16
Speaker 1: The Broncos quarterback. His status is up in the air.
30:19
Speaker 1: But to be frank, does it really matter her because
30:22
Speaker 1: he's coming off a game where he threw four interceptions.
30:25
Speaker 1: Definitely some quarterback troubles in Denver, but it seems like
30:30
Speaker 1: Miami's got it all figured out. If the Dolphins go
30:33
Speaker 1: win Brian and win six in a row, I don't
30:35
Speaker 1: even want to know what's going to happen in South
30:37
Speaker 1: Florida because when that team becomes hot, everyone jumps on
30:40
Speaker 1: the bandwagon. Yeah yeah, and I get that quarterback is
30:43
Speaker 1: hot too. Hey, I just have to add this in
30:45
Speaker 1: real quick. I said Chiefs and Ravens. I obviously meant
30:48
Speaker 1: Steelers those three teams in the a f C, the
30:50
Speaker 1: Steelers nine and oh uh, I didn't. I didn't mean
30:53
Speaker 1: to leave them off. And you may have to put
30:56
Speaker 1: the Dolphins in there next year. Yeah, we'll see. Definitely
31:00
Speaker 1: got to include the Steelers in that one, all right, John,
31:02
Speaker 1: you have cheats at Raiders. Yeah, I thought for a
31:06
Speaker 1: while we had a big story. Brian Sexton dis is Steelers,
31:10
Speaker 1: But it's uh, I think this game is huge because
31:14
Speaker 1: the Raiders are quietly six and three. If they win
31:18
Speaker 1: this game, all of a sudden, they're not so quietly
31:21
Speaker 1: seven and three, you know. And like Shun said, if
31:24
Speaker 1: the Dolphins win their seven and three, that gap that
31:27
Speaker 1: we all saw, and I agree with Brian, I've thought
31:29
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks that it's Steelers, Chiefs and
31:32
Speaker 1: everybody else. I'm having sure the Ravens belong up there
31:34
Speaker 1: right now. But if the Raiders win this game, then
31:39
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, that big gap is not something
31:42
Speaker 1: that we're all talking about. And the Chiefs, who have
31:45
Speaker 1: lost at home and who almost lost at home, looks
31:49
Speaker 1: strangely vulnerable. I still think they get it back by
31:52
Speaker 1: the end. I still think they're the best team along
31:54
Speaker 1: with the Steelers, super Bowl pedigree, super Bowl championship teams
31:59
Speaker 1: win this kind of game. I'm going with the Chiefs.
32:04
Speaker 1: A lot of teams could separate themselves with a big
32:07
Speaker 1: win this weekend, NFL Weekends, Jaguars and Steelers this Sunday,
32:11
Speaker 1: that's the game we're all paying attention to. Stay tuned
32:14
Speaker 1: for rapid recap Sunday after the game, and we'll be
32:16
Speaker 1: back Monday morning, right and early talking about this Jaguars game.
32:20
Speaker 1: Jags for Steelers here in Jacksonville coming up. We'll see
32:24
Speaker 1: you Monday,
