- 1:13Speaker 1: all kinds of injuries. We're gonna get an update on
- 1:16Speaker 1: that soon as I bring in Brian Sexton and John
- 1:19Speaker 1: Osier here for Jaguars Drive Time on a Wednesday morning,
- 1:23Speaker 1: bright and early, and something that we did not know
- 1:26Speaker 1: Monday morning. Our last show, Brian Sexton was about the
- 1:29Speaker 1: Houston Texans firing their head coach on Monday night. I
- 1:34Speaker 1: can only imagine in Houston right now, what a crazy
- 1:36Speaker 1: week this is going to be from the Jaguars standpoint.
- 1:40Speaker 1: What does this mean if anything? Well, I'm not sure
- 1:44Speaker 1: it means anything to the Jaguars other than they're going
- 1:48Speaker 1: into a place where you've got a team that clearly
- 1:51Speaker 1: has something to prove. I don't know if it means anything.
- 1:54Speaker 1: I'll say I was stunned. You're talking about a guy
- 1:56Speaker 1: who's had his team at the top of the a
- 1:58Speaker 1: f C South for a number of years. Um, I
- 2:02Speaker 1: get it. He traded away a number of draft picks,
- 2:03Speaker 1: traded away DeAndre Hopkins, and so he was under pressure
- 2:08Speaker 1: and starting Owen four didn't do anything to alleviate that.
- 2:11Speaker 1: But you know, the owner had to sign off on
- 2:14Speaker 1: all those moves, didn't he. It's a little bit it's
- 2:17Speaker 1: confusing as to why they would let a coach like
- 2:19Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien go um in the first month of the season.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Former defensive coordinator now head coach Romeo Cornell takes over
- 2:29Speaker 1: duties and John I was reading more about this, and
- 2:31Speaker 1: I was listening to a bunch of people talking about this,
- 2:33Speaker 1: and I didn't realize how rare it is for a
- 2:36Speaker 1: head coach to also have general manager duties. And they
- 2:40Speaker 1: were saying how he'd be at practice and then he
- 2:42Speaker 1: had to run in to take a call from an
- 2:43Speaker 1: Agent's it's incredible to think how he tried to juggle
- 2:48Speaker 1: all of this at one time. Yeah, it's a it's
- 2:52Speaker 1: rare now, it didn't used to be as rare. Tom
- 2:55Speaker 1: Coughlin basically did it. There have been gms and head
- 2:58Speaker 1: coaches who have done it in the past. Belichick's basically
- 3:01Speaker 1: that guy in New England. But you have to delegate
- 3:04Speaker 1: it during the season when Tom did it and Brian
- 3:07Speaker 1: was there too, it was more he did it in
- 3:09Speaker 1: the off season, but he was not running off the
- 3:12Speaker 1: field during practice state calls from agents. Uh, you know
- 3:15Speaker 1: you also have cell phones which you could do that with.
- 3:17Speaker 1: But the reason that Bill was fired as much as anything. Yes,
- 3:22Speaker 1: they had uh four a f C souse in five years.
- 3:26Speaker 1: But what the Texans looked at with this in the
- 3:29Speaker 1: last six or seven games, they had only scored it
- 3:33Speaker 1: since in the last sixteen games they had scored thirty
- 3:37Speaker 1: offensive points once with DeShawn Watt. In the last six
- 3:41Speaker 1: or seven games, they had been behind by double digit
- 3:44Speaker 1: in all those games, including both playoff games. The perception
- 3:48Speaker 1: was that this was going bad over the last six
- 3:51Speaker 1: or seven games, and that there was too much talent
- 3:55Speaker 1: at the quarterback position for that to happen. So, uh,
- 3:58Speaker 1: that's sort of the you know, the granular part of
- 4:01Speaker 1: why it happened. But I'm with Brian. I'm surprised four
- 4:06Speaker 1: division titles out of five years. I'm surprised that they
- 4:09Speaker 1: pulled the trigger this fast. Well, and I think it
- 4:13Speaker 1: very How does it get better? With Romeo Crennell all
- 4:17Speaker 1: of a sudden in charge, right and we're talking about
- 4:20Speaker 1: a long time defensive mastermind in charge of the offense. John.
- 4:25Speaker 1: My point is, you know, the owner had to sign
- 4:27Speaker 1: off on all these moves. The owner allowed him to
- 4:29Speaker 1: be the general manager. And by the way, if he
- 4:31Speaker 1: was taking calls during practice from agents who were leaving
- 4:34Speaker 1: the field to go take calls, then he wasn't being
- 4:37Speaker 1: a very good general manager. It just seemed like the
- 4:39Speaker 1: Texans were a a stable franchise and this makes them
- 4:44Speaker 1: look anything but stable. Jackar was getting ready to take
- 4:48Speaker 1: on that Houston Texans team this Sunday as we get
- 4:52Speaker 1: into big things. Big Thing one is a lot j earlier.
- 4:56Speaker 1: This week's shot, con Mark Lamb thing Lenny Curry All
- 4:59Speaker 1: had a press conference about the development of the lot
- 5:02Speaker 1: J projects, shod con spoke and says that this lot
- 5:05Speaker 1: J project is still extremely important to the future of
- 5:09Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. This is part of our commitment to
- 5:15Speaker 1: the city of Jacksonville. I think to have a vital
- 5:18Speaker 1: downcount and um, you know I said this, um eight
- 5:23Speaker 1: years ago plus when I was introduced as owner of
- 5:27Speaker 1: the Jaguars, I was going to look for every way
- 5:29Speaker 1: to you know, make a a holpitful viable here. This
- 5:33Speaker 1: is just one part of the strategy. All right, we'll
- 5:39Speaker 1: talk much more about that lot J project coming up
- 5:41Speaker 1: as we get into Big Thing too. Looking to this
- 5:43Speaker 1: game on Sunday, which is Run James, Run James Robinson.
- 5:48Speaker 1: They're going to have to run the ball if they're
- 5:50Speaker 1: going to keep guys like Whitney, Merciless and J. J.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Watt from wrecking the Jaguars offensive game plan. Last year,
- 5:57Speaker 1: the Texans kept Gardner Minshew in the pocket and May
- 6:00Speaker 1: made him throw forty seven times in London. Big Thing three,
- 6:04Speaker 1: the injury report we're gonna hear from Doug Brown at
- 6:07Speaker 1: nine o'clock. Looking at a bunch of guys, but especially
- 6:09Speaker 1: someone like Miles Jack cam Robinson, Josh Alan d J. Hayden,
- 6:14Speaker 1: What is the extent of the injuries that we saw
- 6:17Speaker 1: on Sunday and what is the hope going forward that
- 6:19Speaker 1: you possibly get those guys back on the field sooner
- 6:23Speaker 1: rather than later other than the injury report. Although I
- 6:25Speaker 1: know the Jaguars coaching staff is looking to fix a
- 6:28Speaker 1: bunch of things this week, but one of those things
- 6:30Speaker 1: is not motivation and effort. There's flashes of players guys
- 6:36Speaker 1: have made it um, but you know, the consistency of
- 6:40Speaker 1: it um, you know, is something that we have to
- 6:42Speaker 1: work on it. You know, we continue to keep pushing
- 6:45Speaker 1: a put ourselves in a good situation, you know, with
- 6:47Speaker 1: with the players that that's on us as coaches and
- 6:49Speaker 1: then you know, get those players where we can make
- 6:52Speaker 1: those plays and go. So you know, they looking at
- 6:55Speaker 1: oneself and you know, what do you do to keep
- 6:57Speaker 1: yourself motivated? Uh? Um? You know you work your whole
- 7:02Speaker 1: entire life to try to get where you are. So
- 7:04Speaker 1: if you're gonna lack of motivation or competitiveness about you
- 7:10Speaker 1: at a certain point, you probably weren't cut out, you know,
- 7:13Speaker 1: to be in this business anyway. All right, do we
- 7:18Speaker 1: go back up to big thing one which is a
- 7:20Speaker 1: lot J and Bryant Sex and I know you heard
- 7:23Speaker 1: from SHOCKN what he was saying about Lot J and
- 7:25Speaker 1: what it means for the Jacksonville Jaguars. We really haven't
- 7:28Speaker 1: heard much about Lot J, definitely since COVID nineteen has started.
- 7:32Speaker 1: So it was refreshing to hear that this project is
- 7:34Speaker 1: still on and moving forward even with all of this
- 7:37Speaker 1: going on. Well, a couple of things. First of all,
- 7:40Speaker 1: it's still very important for the Jaguars long term to
- 7:43Speaker 1: create more opportunities revenue wise. I mean, anyone who's turned
- 7:48Speaker 1: on the Chargers or Rams game we're seeing the Raiders
- 7:51Speaker 1: in their new home in Las Vegas understands you're not
- 7:54Speaker 1: gonna have a billion dollar or a little and five
- 7:55Speaker 1: billion dollar stadium project in downtown Jackson Village. Is the
- 7:59Speaker 1: economics of this marketplace just won't work. Um, you know,
- 8:03Speaker 1: with twenty million TV households in southern California, it's easy
- 8:06Speaker 1: to pull something like that off. Easy's probably the wrong word.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Here's one part, just a little perspective on it for
- 8:12Speaker 1: you this morning, and this is you guys have probably
- 8:14Speaker 1: been to the Power and Light District when we've traveled
- 8:17Speaker 1: to Kansas City. It's a vibrant downtown district built around
- 8:20Speaker 1: an arena, by the way, that doesn't host an NBA
- 8:22Speaker 1: or NHL game, and host a couple of college basketball tournaments.
- 8:25Speaker 1: But thirty years ago, when I was in high school
- 8:27Speaker 1: in Kansas City, the only reason we ever went downtown
- 8:30Speaker 1: was in October when all the decrepit old buildings were
- 8:34Speaker 1: turned into haunted houses. Okay, and today where all those
- 8:38Speaker 1: decrepit old buildings are is the is the is the
- 8:40Speaker 1: Power and Light District, which, by the way, I've never
- 8:42Speaker 1: been to. I just have never gone downtown when I've
- 8:44Speaker 1: gone home to Kansas City, but I've seen what it's done.
- 8:48Speaker 1: And they talked about that a generation to go to
- 8:51Speaker 1: generations to go in Kansas City, about getting a project
- 8:54Speaker 1: done and revitalizing the downtown and bringing some of the
- 8:57Speaker 1: energy back from the suburbs. And they've done that. It's
- 9:00Speaker 1: taken a while, taken a long time, but today they
- 9:02Speaker 1: have something vibrant to show for it. When I moved
- 9:05Speaker 1: here in nineteen the landing was only seven years old.
- 9:09Speaker 1: There was a sense of vibrancy in downtown Jacksonville and
- 9:12Speaker 1: some optimism that that would be the spark for projects
- 9:15Speaker 1: to come. Well, you know, twenty six and a half
- 9:17Speaker 1: years later, downtown is worse. How is it possible when
- 9:21Speaker 1: you have an NFL team living in your downtown for
- 9:24Speaker 1: a quarter of a century, how is it possible that
- 9:26Speaker 1: downtown has even less to do today than it did
- 9:29Speaker 1: in Right, That's why this project is important. It's gonna
- 9:33Speaker 1: take time. And if you look across the river, you've
- 9:36Speaker 1: got the district which is still waiting to come up
- 9:38Speaker 1: out of the dirt. And Peter Rummel was the frontman
- 9:40Speaker 1: for that, who cut his teeth a Disney and real estate,
- 9:43Speaker 1: who led the Saint Joe Company, which was one of
- 9:45Speaker 1: the biggest private property holders in Florida for years. Right,
- 9:50Speaker 1: that's taking time too. People are going to be patient.
- 9:54Speaker 1: They want to see things come out of the ground. Yeah,
- 9:56Speaker 1: but if Shaan doesn't do this project, who's gonna do it.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Who's going to have the investment ability, who's going to
- 10:03Speaker 1: have the the motivation to do it like he does.
- 10:08Speaker 1: The Jaguars need this project, the city needs this project.
- 10:12Speaker 1: They just have to come together and figure out a
- 10:13Speaker 1: way to make it work for both sides. Definitely necessary,
- 10:19Speaker 1: very important, and I will have to say, and they
- 10:21Speaker 1: mentioned building apartment condo buildings in the parking lot. My
- 10:25Speaker 1: name is going on the list immediately because I could
- 10:28Speaker 1: roll out of bed and booth ready for Jaguars drive
- 10:32Speaker 1: timing a matter of five minutes. So I'm excited about that.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Let's go to Big Thing three. John Osier, the dog
- 10:37Speaker 1: has stopped barking. You are ready to rumble this injury report.
- 10:41Speaker 1: We haven't heard a lot about it. We heard from
- 10:43Speaker 1: Dug Marown post game he didn't know the extent of
- 10:45Speaker 1: these injuries. It's now Wednesday, and we have a lot
- 10:48Speaker 1: of guys on a list that we're hoping already for
- 10:51Speaker 1: Sunday and not sure right now. Yeah, and it's always
- 10:56Speaker 1: dangerous to specubated about injuries, but so much can change
- 10:58Speaker 1: in a what is it a three day period. It
- 11:01Speaker 1: didn't feel like Josh Allen was a huge, huge concern
- 11:04Speaker 1: long term out of the game Sunday, Miles Jack, Camera Robinson,
- 11:09Speaker 1: particularly d J Hayd and we need to go off
- 11:10Speaker 1: on a part that's the big concern right now. We're
- 11:13Speaker 1: still sort of hanging on the thread that Doug said
- 11:15Speaker 1: on Monday that he's not overly concerned about any of them.
- 11:20Speaker 1: That made it sound to me like he didn't think
- 11:22Speaker 1: that most of them would be going on any sort
- 11:24Speaker 1: of an I R. But you know again, we'll find
- 11:28Speaker 1: out more at nine and uh. That was just sort
- 11:31Speaker 1: of the tone of the week to me. By the way,
- 11:34Speaker 1: Doug kicked it off on Monday, hoping to hear some
- 11:38Speaker 1: good news here at nine o'clock from head coach Doug Brown.
- 11:41Speaker 1: When we come back, we get the white boards out
- 11:43Speaker 1: for some Ashland ask you on Jaguars drive time coming up. Hey,

- 13:46Speaker 1: Wednesday morning, Jaguars Drive Time brought to you by the
- 13:48Speaker 1: Duval Motor Company. Today, as we get into some Ashland, asked,
- 13:53Speaker 1: I hope have your white boards are ready, ready to draw,
- 13:56Speaker 1: ready to imagine, ready to get creative Ashland asked number one,
- 14:01Speaker 1: what will be the mood in Houston after the week
- 14:05Speaker 1: they have had as the Jaguars go into this teame
- 14:08Speaker 1: on Sunday. We're gonna hear from the new Texans head
- 14:11Speaker 1: coach today, have a press conference. Going to find out
- 14:14Speaker 1: more about this team as the week goes on. But
- 14:16Speaker 1: if you can imagine what the mood would be and
- 14:18Speaker 1: try to summarize it in a few words, what would
- 14:21Speaker 1: it be? Boom, We're ready, We're quick this morning, John
- 14:32Speaker 1: Oser go for it first of all, bad dog again?
- 14:38Speaker 1: And now is that really a mood? But I would
- 14:42Speaker 1: say adrenaline with the lightning bolts because there lightning bowls
- 14:45Speaker 1: lend uh and it looks nice. Usually when you see
- 14:49Speaker 1: a mid season coaching change, and we saw it in
- 14:52Speaker 1: two thousand sixteen when Doug Morown took over for Guests Bradley,
- 14:56Speaker 1: you see at least a one week surge in attention
- 15:01Speaker 1: and focus, in energy, whatever it is. I don't necessarily
- 15:05Speaker 1: think it lasts for twelve games for Houston, but a
- 15:09Speaker 1: team that's just changed his coat is a dangerous, refocused team.
- 15:14Speaker 1: So the Jaguars have to withstand that. I have frustrated
- 15:20Speaker 1: on here. I frustrated because the Jaguars talked about being
- 15:25Speaker 1: frustrated last week at one in three and three straight losses,
- 15:29Speaker 1: and I can only imagine that's the same thing. Um. Plus,
- 15:31Speaker 1: you're talking about you know, some star players at the
- 15:34Speaker 1: end of their careers, towards the end of their careers
- 15:37Speaker 1: with the J J. Watt, who is you know, still
- 15:40Speaker 1: looking for that traction to his career? Um you know,
- 15:44Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson just got the big contract. Now all of
- 15:47Speaker 1: a sudden, you know, the coach that brought him along
- 15:49Speaker 1: is gone. I can only imagine that they just are
- 15:53Speaker 1: searching for answers and frustrated. Just like Abrey Jones was
- 15:58Speaker 1: in the postgame news conference from since Naty on Sunday.
- 16:00Speaker 1: I thought he perfect He perfectly embodied frustration. He wasn't mad,
- 16:08Speaker 1: he wasn't happy, He was just kind of in the middle. Yeah.
- 16:14Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. Ashley asks number two. The Jaguars
- 16:18Speaker 1: right now are dealing with some issues. And this is
- 16:19Speaker 1: a perfect world. This isn't going to happen. But we've
- 16:22Speaker 1: been watching other teams. We've watched the Chiefs and the
- 16:25Speaker 1: Patriots on Monday Night football. If you were a general manager,
- 16:29Speaker 1: and you had an endless cap room and you thought
- 16:32Speaker 1: it was a perfect fit for your locker room. Who
- 16:34Speaker 1: would you want to go get to try to band
- 16:37Speaker 1: aid some of the issues we've been seeing on this
- 16:39Speaker 1: Jaguars team. Now, obviously this is not going to happen.
- 16:43Speaker 1: We're just imagining things in a perfect world. Who would
- 16:45Speaker 1: you go get play and plug to try to fix
- 16:48Speaker 1: some of the issues we're seeing. I, for example, had
- 16:52Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew I think he would be a fabulous attention
- 16:55Speaker 1: right now to the Jaguars roster. Obviously that's not going
- 16:58Speaker 1: to happen. John Osha, Bryan Sexton, what she got, Well,
- 17:04Speaker 1: I'll take Patrick Mahomes because that quarterback would tax every
- 17:08Speaker 1: problem that the Jaguars have with the receivers they've got obviously,
- 17:14Speaker 1: running game that they've got here, with the defense they've
- 17:17Speaker 1: got here, Mahomes would fix a lot of things. You said, anyone,
- 17:20Speaker 1: So I took the best quarterback and probably the best
- 17:22Speaker 1: overall player in the game today. Easy choice. Yeah, that
- 17:27Speaker 1: would definitely be a perfect world. John Usher, what do
- 17:30Speaker 1: you got? I'll take my Homes, Rogers, Russell Wilson or
- 17:34Speaker 1: Johnny You and and and not a knock on, mensh
- 17:39Speaker 1: you but if you're going to fix problems in the NFL,
- 17:42Speaker 1: you're going to go with the best quarterback. And right now,
- 17:46Speaker 1: I mean, shoot, we don't know what he is. We
- 17:49Speaker 1: know he's not my homes and that would it fixes
- 17:53Speaker 1: a lot of things, all right, Aaron Rodgers, sign me up.
- 17:58Speaker 1: That sounds like a good plan. That isn't going to happen.
- 18:01Speaker 1: All right. As last number three, let's switch to the
- 18:03Speaker 1: positive side of things. What is the reason to be
- 18:06Speaker 1: optimistic for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. Let's go
- 18:12Speaker 1: around some positive scenarios. What's one thing you look at
- 18:15Speaker 1: with this Jaguars team and say, you know what, they've
- 18:18Speaker 1: got that figured out, and that's a reason to be optimistic?
- 18:34Speaker 1: Ready anyone? Uh, I'll go and this Uh yeah, I'm
- 18:44Speaker 1: not trying to be cute. This was not easy because
- 18:47Speaker 1: I don't even feel optimistic because there's some things we
- 18:50Speaker 1: saw Sunday. I'm hopeful that there are things that can't
- 18:53Speaker 1: prove out of that game. But I'll go with offensive
- 18:56Speaker 1: line because I think it's playing well and up that
- 19:01Speaker 1: if things get better around it, if the defense was
- 19:05Speaker 1: playing better, Schlann and Bryant. This offensive line would be
- 19:09Speaker 1: getting more credit for being a vastly improved unit's blocking
- 19:13Speaker 1: for the run. You don't have Robinson's numbers if you're not.
- 19:16Speaker 1: I think Minhi has had time to work. If things
- 19:19Speaker 1: can get better around it, this offensive line can get
- 19:22Speaker 1: him some games going forward. I don't know things are
- 19:23Speaker 1: gonna get better around it. That's exactly what I had,
- 19:29Speaker 1: and I'm not going to change it because, like John,
- 19:31Speaker 1: you know, you have injury issues and performance execution issues
- 19:36Speaker 1: in nearly every other place. And that's not to say
- 19:38Speaker 1: that the offensive line has been perfect. Um, but minshe
- 19:42Speaker 1: had plenty of time to throw in Cincinnati and Robinson
- 19:45Speaker 1: had plenty of room to run. The offensive line is
- 19:47Speaker 1: not the problem. Now we're going to find out where
- 19:49Speaker 1: Brandon Linder and Cam Robinson are coming up here in
- 19:52Speaker 1: about forty five minutes from head coach Don Moron. That
- 19:56Speaker 1: could take the offensive line as an area of optimism
- 19:59Speaker 1: and move it into a completely different category. But the
- 20:03Speaker 1: first four games, the offensive line has not been the problem.
- 20:06Speaker 1: They both running game of passing game have had room
- 20:09Speaker 1: to work, and even with Brandon Linder's injuries the past
- 20:14Speaker 1: couple of weeks Tyler Shotley is coming and definitely done
- 20:17Speaker 1: his job that we're going to hear an update on

- 22:41Speaker 1: Let's go right down the road the Tampa, Florida the
- 22:44Speaker 1: original Brian ask John Osier, You and the others have
- 22:49Speaker 1: cited youth and inexperience as contributing factors to our defensive woes.
- 22:55Speaker 1: Would you say these are the primary factors? If so,
- 22:58Speaker 1: should things improve as a season aggressive or is the
- 23:01Speaker 1: talent level just too deficit? Well, you know, I think
- 23:07Speaker 1: they're major factors. And I don't know that I've cited
- 23:10Speaker 1: youth and an experience as much as the fact that
- 23:14Speaker 1: the good players are very young and there's not a
- 23:18Speaker 1: lot of you know, six year veteran guy who's the
- 23:22Speaker 1: playmaking guy. That's Miles Jack and now he's hurt, but
- 23:25Speaker 1: he's really the only one on defense that fits that,
- 23:28Speaker 1: and those are who you usually look forward to make
- 23:30Speaker 1: big plays at key time. Uh. I think that I
- 23:33Speaker 1: think the defense will get better if they stay healthy.
- 23:36Speaker 1: They'll get better as the season continues. I don't know
- 23:39Speaker 1: that they'll get to the point where people are calling
- 23:42Speaker 1: them good because we haven't seen that yet, so it's
- 23:45Speaker 1: hard to predict. But I think they'll improve, well, they
- 23:48Speaker 1: improve enough to be considered, you know, a high functioning unit.
- 23:51Speaker 1: I can't say that right now. You know they've got
- 23:55Speaker 1: a lot of of possible But it's pretty differently. There
- 24:00Speaker 1: are a lot of answers to questions on the defense,
- 24:03Speaker 1: right um, look at the way that Davon Hamilton's played
- 24:05Speaker 1: last week. So you say you've got to get better
- 24:07Speaker 1: in the middle of the defensive line. Okay, well there's
- 24:09Speaker 1: a possible answer because he's really starting to come on again.
- 24:12Speaker 1: He's one of those young guys. So I think up front,
- 24:15Speaker 1: in the front seven in particular, you can say, yeah,
- 24:18Speaker 1: they're young, and that's the issue. They'll get better on
- 24:21Speaker 1: the back seven. Sorry, the back end of that. In
- 24:24Speaker 1: the secondary, I just I don't see it. I mean,
- 24:27Speaker 1: I think C. J. Henderson is gonna be a tremendous player.
- 24:29Speaker 1: So yes, there's one. And I like what I see
- 24:31Speaker 1: from Daniel Thomas when he's on special teams because that's
- 24:33Speaker 1: all we've seen of him, and he may be an
- 24:35Speaker 1: answer at strong safety because he looks like a physical player. However,
- 24:40Speaker 1: right now, you have one corner who was an undrafted
- 24:43Speaker 1: rookie free agent who looks like it in Trey Herndon
- 24:46Speaker 1: and you have a massive issue in the middle of
- 24:48Speaker 1: your defense. That's not going to get better this year.
- 24:50Speaker 1: So the young players up front will get better. But
- 24:53Speaker 1: as long as the back end is a hole in
- 24:56Speaker 1: your defense and you can't fill it, well, that's not
- 24:59Speaker 1: necessary really going to get better. The only way that
- 25:01Speaker 1: this defense plays better is if they happen to get
- 25:03Speaker 1: a chance to play with the lead speaking the truth,
- 25:08Speaker 1: Brian Sexton, let's go all the way to Scotland. Everyone
- 25:13Speaker 1: seems divided over Gardner Minshew. I'm wondering how different you
- 25:17Speaker 1: think these discussions would be if he were a first
- 25:20Speaker 1: round pick. Cheers. Oh, well, I'm gonna go into the
- 25:26Speaker 1: direction on this and it's a little bit out there,
- 25:29Speaker 1: but you know, it's a hard question to answer because
- 25:34Speaker 1: you wouldn't be having the same discussion we're here first
- 25:37Speaker 1: round pick, because the discussion with Minshew focuses on the uh,
- 25:46Speaker 1: actually right, I'm looking for But the arms strength, besides
- 25:50Speaker 1: the measurables is the word I'm looking for. Well, if
- 25:54Speaker 1: he'd had those, he would have been a first round pick,
- 25:57Speaker 1: So it's sort of a I get there. He says, Well,
- 26:00Speaker 1: Tyler Murray has got the same numbers as Minshew. He's
- 26:03Speaker 1: not being criticized like this, but Murray has some absolute
- 26:07Speaker 1: unbelievable skills that make you think they'll develop. The issue
- 26:12Speaker 1: with Minshew is you wonder if the things that kept
- 26:15Speaker 1: him from being drafted in the first round are the
- 26:18Speaker 1: things that will hold him back. So the conversation would
- 26:21Speaker 1: be so much different. We're here first round pick because
- 26:24Speaker 1: he would have those measurables that NFL people love. I
- 26:29Speaker 1: was going the same place. I mean, look, when you
- 26:33Speaker 1: are undersized as a quarterback and you don't have a
- 26:36Speaker 1: big arm, the team is constantly going to be looking
- 26:39Speaker 1: for someone who is bigger and who does have a
- 26:42Speaker 1: bigger arms. So you're always going to have this conversation
- 26:44Speaker 1: about Gardner Minshew. He reminds me of Jeff Garcia, right,
- 26:49Speaker 1: a guy that is a runaround guy who makes plays.
- 26:52Speaker 1: He went to Canada for a while. I think he
- 26:54Speaker 1: had sixteen years in the NFL. I had some winning seasons,
- 26:58Speaker 1: went to the playoffs, but every team, whether it was
- 27:00Speaker 1: San Francisco or Detroit or Tampa, they were always looking
- 27:04Speaker 1: to replace him because he wasn't very big and he
- 27:06Speaker 1: didn't have a cannon for an arm, and that's going
- 27:09Speaker 1: to be the issue with Gardner Minshew. Unless he blows
- 27:12Speaker 1: us away with twelve games left to play. Unless he
- 27:15Speaker 1: shows us something, the Jaguars are not going to be
- 27:18Speaker 1: able to pass on a young quarterback that has the
- 27:22Speaker 1: measurables and the skills at the top of the draft.
- 27:24Speaker 1: You can't just keep hoping. Hoping isn't a strategy so far.
- 27:28Speaker 1: As I said on Monday, he's got two games where
- 27:30Speaker 1: you go wow, and two games where you go, oh,
- 27:33Speaker 1: you can't be eight and eight and go forward with
- 27:35Speaker 1: this guy in those two categories. You need ten and six,
- 27:39Speaker 1: you need eleven and five. You need him to show
- 27:42Speaker 1: you any because he's undersized, and because he doesn't have
- 27:45Speaker 1: a big arm, he has to show you exponentially more
- 27:49Speaker 1: for you to pass on a quarterback in next year's
- 27:51Speaker 1: first round. You need consistency in the Gardner Minshew talk
- 27:57Speaker 1: is not over quite yet. As we go to New
- 27:59Speaker 1: Jerseys got asking about gardnerman she as well. Are we
- 28:02Speaker 1: now in the air where a quarterback can put up
- 28:05Speaker 1: huge statistical numbers and still not be a franchise quarterback?
- 28:08Speaker 1: Have the rules changed in the game that much? John Ouser, Yeah,
- 28:14Speaker 1: I think they have and it uh It's a concept
- 28:18Speaker 1: I keep thinking about as I watched more NFL this season.
- 28:21Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's beyond reason to me that
- 28:26Speaker 1: there are all of a sudden, five quarterbacks who look
- 28:30Speaker 1: like all time Rushmore great playing At the same time,
- 28:33Speaker 1: it seems like every team has a quarterback who's high functioning. Well, yeah,
- 28:39Speaker 1: statistically that doesn't work. So the game has changed so
- 28:43Speaker 1: much defenders can't hit. It is all skewed towards the offense.
- 28:47Speaker 1: That I do think there's a different standard for what
- 28:51Speaker 1: your great quarterback has to be. It has to be
- 28:53Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers who are playing it. You know,
- 28:56Speaker 1: they're completing of their passes for seven touchdowns a week. Well,
- 29:02Speaker 1: that's maddened stuff. That's not Yeah, it wouldn't have been
- 29:05Speaker 1: that way before. It wouldn't have been that way in
- 29:08Speaker 1: the sixties. But it's true. Yes, the answer to the
- 29:13Speaker 1: question is, yes, the game has changed that much. We're
- 29:16Speaker 1: just because you're putting up great numbers doesn't necessarily make
- 29:19Speaker 1: you a franchise guy anymore. Well, it does to a
- 29:25Speaker 1: fantasy it does to a fantasy football owner. And let's
- 29:28Speaker 1: be honest, fantasy football has had a huge influence on
- 29:31Speaker 1: how people um enjoy the game. And so the Jaguars lose,
- 29:36Speaker 1: but the quarterback throws for three fifty and two touchdowns,
- 29:39Speaker 1: there's still a modicum of happiness on their part because
- 29:41Speaker 1: their fantasy team did well. Just look at the winds
- 29:44Speaker 1: and the losses. Guys like Drew Brees, Tom Brady, the Mannings,
- 29:49Speaker 1: the great quarterbacks that people have seen and always said,
- 29:51Speaker 1: why don't we have that guy? The number that matters
- 29:54Speaker 1: is wins and losses. And it doesn't matter whether they
- 29:56Speaker 1: have to go and throw forty times and score forty
- 29:59Speaker 1: points or whether they throw twenty five times and score
- 30:02Speaker 1: twenty five points. They win, no matter who's around them,
- 30:05Speaker 1: They win, no matter what kind of game they have
- 30:08Speaker 1: to play well. Those guys are hard to find. They're
- 30:11Speaker 1: very difficult. So you just gotta keep swinging. And the
- 30:13Speaker 1: Jaguars have missed. They've missed way too often on that position.
- 30:16Speaker 1: And I can take you all the way back to
- 30:18Speaker 1: two thousand and three and show you the misses along
- 30:20Speaker 1: the way. They gotta get this one right. Forget the
- 30:24Speaker 1: yards and the touchdowns, look at wins and losses. That's
- 30:29Speaker 1: the most important statistic in this category is looking for
- 30:34Speaker 1: their second win this Sunday against the Houston Texans, and
- 30:38Speaker 1: we come back some closing thoughts. You're on Jaguars Drive
