- 0:01Speaker 1: Jeff Wars did you don't check what Jack Warris? Did
- 0:03Speaker 1: you know Jackuarris Drive Time? Bryan Sex steps that, John
- 0:09Speaker 1: oh Say, Ashley sa Jaguarris Drive Time starts right now.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Good morning, Welcome to Wednesday Jags Drive Time Live from
- 0:19Speaker 1: t i A A bank field in Jacksonville. But then again,
- 0:22Speaker 1: you knew that. Brian Sexton along with Ashlyn Sullivan and
- 0:26Speaker 1: John Oh Sure, Hi, John, how are you? I'm wonderful. Really,
- 0:30Speaker 1: it's a wonderful Wednesday, Cupes. I'll let you call it that.
- 0:34Speaker 1: He's an optimistic man lately. Really. Yes, you started on
- 0:38Speaker 1: Friday and it's gone through this week. Is it gonna
- 0:41Speaker 1: keep going? I'm just a big bullets here. You're a
- 0:46Speaker 1: big bull is something? I just think maybe we're gonna
- 0:48Speaker 1: wait for people to tweet their response to that rather
- 0:50Speaker 1: than me say it. Even though the FCC doesn't rule
- 0:53Speaker 1: these airwaves, I still don't think I should say it. Okay,
- 0:57Speaker 1: fair enough, all right, here we go, big show for
- 1:00Speaker 1: you today. Start with the Twitter poll. Uh. Patriots were
- 1:04Speaker 1: just here. Stadium was packed, lots of anxiety and angst
- 1:08Speaker 1: leading up to the game last week. But they're not
- 1:10Speaker 1: really a rival. I want to know who's the primary
- 1:13Speaker 1: rival for the Jaguars. The Titans are rolling in. They
- 1:16Speaker 1: should be. They were the first team to play here,
- 1:18Speaker 1: they were the team that kept them out of the
- 1:20Speaker 1: Super Bowl in the Jeff Fisher's stuff. But there's still
- 1:25Speaker 1: five thousand tickets available, so I I don't know that
- 1:28Speaker 1: that's going to come in as the primary rival. Guys,
- 1:29Speaker 1: the Steelers, obviously, the Jaguars are long history with them
- 1:32Speaker 1: some of the biggest games in franchise history. The Colts
- 1:35Speaker 1: have ruled the roost since the a f C South
- 1:37Speaker 1: was put together back in two thousand and two. Or
- 1:41Speaker 1: who else might it be? That's the Twitter Polly. I
- 1:45Speaker 1: agree with you that it should be the Titans, but
- 1:46Speaker 1: we're seeing a strange response with five thousand tickets still
- 1:50Speaker 1: left this gate. What say you, John Well? I think
- 1:52Speaker 1: it has a chance to become the Titans. Uh. I
- 1:56Speaker 1: honestly think the September is tough here. It just really
- 2:00Speaker 1: I mean it. It is a one o'clock September game,
- 2:04Speaker 1: It is hot. I get it that there might be
- 2:06Speaker 1: you know, a few leftover on it. It's just the
- 2:08Speaker 1: reality of Florida. If if you look at history of football,
- 2:12Speaker 1: NFL football in Florida one o'clock September games are tough
- 2:15Speaker 1: sells h but I think it'll be I don't doubt
- 2:19Speaker 1: it's gonna be an atmosphere well on Sunday, regardless of
- 2:22Speaker 1: the ticket sales. I'm interested in who people see as
- 2:25Speaker 1: that ride well. And I think it's tough because rivalries
- 2:31Speaker 1: are not one year in the making. It's Uh. This
- 2:36Speaker 1: team was bad for a long time and as a result,
- 2:40Speaker 1: any rivalry whilst it's luster. The Colts thing was going
- 2:43Speaker 1: for a while. But you're not gonna have rivals when
- 2:47Speaker 1: you have the kind of seasons this team did between
- 2:49Speaker 1: two thousand eleven two six. You have teams that beat
- 2:52Speaker 1: you a lot, you don't have rivals. So uh, In
- 2:56Speaker 1: talking to Jim Wyatt from My Titans Online, who's the
- 2:59Speaker 1: he would want to describe this way? The John Osier
- 3:01Speaker 1: of Tennessee, Um, poor guy and Uh we talked yesterday
- 3:07Speaker 1: and he says, there's definitely a feeling among the Titans
- 3:14Speaker 1: players that you felt in the late nineties. Jim covered
- 3:18Speaker 1: the Titans for the Tennessee and forever, so he was
- 3:20Speaker 1: around the late nineties as I was here, and he said,
- 3:23Speaker 1: we remember it when it was really good in the
- 3:25Speaker 1: nineties and early two thousand's when even when the Jaguars
- 3:27Speaker 1: started to slip a little bit, they still gave Tennessee
- 3:30Speaker 1: problems when Tennessee was really good. That's what a rivalry is.
- 3:34Speaker 1: It did feel last year like this series has a
- 3:37Speaker 1: chance to get back there with all the hey, we're
- 3:39Speaker 1: the real division champions, you're not drill Casey's comments on boardles.
- 3:43Speaker 1: It felt like that in December. And if this is
- 3:46Speaker 1: a knockdown, drag out as I expected to be, uh,
- 3:50Speaker 1: it'll it'll feel like that again on Sunday. Time for
- 3:53Speaker 1: big things. Ash let's kick it all all right, big
- 3:54Speaker 1: thing one like a tight thun for the past. Because
- 3:56Speaker 1: Leonard's like that, we're taking a different angle on the stage.
- 3:59Speaker 1: So we've been asked this week, is this offense better
- 4:02Speaker 1: when Leonard for Nett is not on the field? Now,
- 4:04Speaker 1: I don't think we would say he's better because we
- 4:07Speaker 1: want for not on the field, but it forces Blake
- 4:09Speaker 1: Barrels to get creative and play a different way. So
- 4:11Speaker 1: we're gonna get an update on Leonard's late today with
- 4:14Speaker 1: Doug Morone and Wednesday's practice. Well, there's you know and
- 4:16Speaker 1: We've talked about this. There's really no way to argue
- 4:20Speaker 1: with the fact that they had to be different, and
- 4:22Speaker 1: they were. So the question is how do you integrate
- 4:27Speaker 1: Leonard and still stay multiple like that, have all the
- 4:30Speaker 1: different looks, be that wide open, aggressive offense and not
- 4:34Speaker 1: just fall back and to give it to the hammer
- 4:36Speaker 1: and let's pound. Has everybody forgotten the Pittsburgh game. I mean,
- 4:40Speaker 1: this is the most maddening storyline to me this week,
- 4:42Speaker 1: and I'm gonna get a little uptight about it. That's
- 4:44Speaker 1: why we put it in for you. Big boy. Leonard
- 4:46Speaker 1: Fournett played against the Steelers in January m That game
- 4:51Speaker 1: plan was as dynamic. They stayed ahead of the chain.
- 4:55Speaker 1: They they lead the whole game. They never took their
- 4:58Speaker 1: foot off the gas. That's what you can do, and
- 5:01Speaker 1: just do that, just break out they can And I'm
- 5:03Speaker 1: over simplifying because you don't break out a game plan
- 5:06Speaker 1: for for their teams. But I said since then that
- 5:08Speaker 1: I thought that was the way they wanted to play, right,
- 5:10Speaker 1: and I think it is. They've only had you know,
- 5:14Speaker 1: people looked at the Giants game and I think tried
- 5:18Speaker 1: to make that a microcos and what this team likes
- 5:20Speaker 1: to do. It was raining, New York. You gotta lead.
- 5:23Speaker 1: You lost four net. Everything you had game plan four
- 5:25Speaker 1: all of a sudden was out the window. So they
- 5:27Speaker 1: did go conserving in the second half. Look at the
- 5:29Speaker 1: Atlanta game this year, the Week three game where they
- 5:33Speaker 1: went two backs. They were creative. I think they used
- 5:36Speaker 1: nine or ten different receivers. Give this thing time, it
- 5:39Speaker 1: will play out. It is not going to be Leonard
- 5:41Speaker 1: four net up the middle of the entire season. Even
- 5:43Speaker 1: when this guy comes back. They don't want that to be.
- 5:46Speaker 1: There's no signs that it's gonna be. It wasn't that
- 5:48Speaker 1: when he was in the game against the Giants. So
- 5:52Speaker 1: just relax, Sexton, you and your big things. I'm glad
- 6:00Speaker 1: I could give you someplace to jump off. But your
- 6:01Speaker 1: recall I have been saying since that Pittsburgh may I
- 6:04Speaker 1: think that's the way they want to play. And the
- 6:07Speaker 1: Atlanta game really is the clue here because they've used
- 6:10Speaker 1: the two backsets with for net on the field. I
- 6:13Speaker 1: think the real point here is four net brings the
- 6:17Speaker 1: dynamic quality to it, and we saw it. He caught
- 6:19Speaker 1: thirties six passes last year. They had him in on
- 6:22Speaker 1: third down because they wanted him to show his pass
- 6:25Speaker 1: protection skills throughout the preseason. It was a jumping off point.
- 6:30Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, Nate Hackett shows you
- 6:32Speaker 1: what he's got planned. You put for Net back into
- 6:35Speaker 1: the offensive game plan. I think what you're going to
- 6:37Speaker 1: see is last Sunday on steroids. You're going to see
- 6:40Speaker 1: that explosiveness with for Net and an even more dynamic offense,
- 6:45Speaker 1: not a less dynamic offense. You'll recall this. I'll talk
- 6:48Speaker 1: to you, know, Ashal, because Brian's mad at me last
- 6:52Speaker 1: week before the Patriots game. I thought with her without
- 6:54Speaker 1: for Net, they were going to be wrinkles they hadn't shown.
- 6:57Speaker 1: And I think there are still a lot of wrinkles
- 7:02Speaker 1: they haven't shown in this offense that they didn't even
- 7:05Speaker 1: show against the Patriots. But I think you're right, Brian.
- 7:07Speaker 1: I think the clue is when they were going good
- 7:10Speaker 1: against the Falcons in Week three, when they had nine
- 7:14Speaker 1: ten different receivers, they were testing the edge of the defense.
- 7:19Speaker 1: What's fascinating to me is once Leonard gets back, what
- 7:23Speaker 1: they can do in terms of getting him outside in
- 7:26Speaker 1: the passing offense, getting him one on one with cornerbacks
- 7:30Speaker 1: and outside linebackers. That's a huge advantage for him. I
- 7:33Speaker 1: think you're gonna see that sort of game plan. Get
- 7:36Speaker 1: these skill guys on the edge and one on one
- 7:38Speaker 1: matchups and see what they can do. Corey Grant, same deal.
- 7:41Speaker 1: I think. To narrow it down, I asked the question
- 7:44Speaker 1: round draft time and throughout the summer, how would the
- 7:46Speaker 1: Jaguars play when Leonard for Nett wasn't on the field
- 7:49Speaker 1: because he wasn't going to play all sixteen games? That
- 7:51Speaker 1: that was an easy assumption, pretty good, And I had
- 7:53Speaker 1: the question backwards, and that is, how can Leonard for
- 7:57Speaker 1: net right change his game? In other words, rather than
- 8:01Speaker 1: staying with that hammer mentality, how much different can Leonard
- 8:05Speaker 1: play the game? We saw that in the Atlanta game.
- 8:08Speaker 1: It isn't going to be tailoring to what Leonard does best.
- 8:12Speaker 1: It's going to be taking his enormous skill set and
- 8:15Speaker 1: putting it in different situations week to week, game to game.
- 8:18Speaker 1: You know, if you take a gallon of water and
- 8:21Speaker 1: you pour it into a round container, the waters round,
- 8:26Speaker 1: and if you take it and you pour it into
- 8:27Speaker 1: a triangular container, it's triangular. Same thing. I think you
- 8:32Speaker 1: can take talented guys and you can put them in
- 8:33Speaker 1: a bunch of different containers, and their shape can fit
- 8:36Speaker 1: the shape or a Morpheus. In other words, you can
- 8:41Speaker 1: take a lot of different shapes. That that's that's not
- 8:44Speaker 1: a made up pipe word. It is a word that
- 8:48Speaker 1: describes things accurately. And I think that we're going to
- 8:51Speaker 1: see the Jaguars be able to put Leonard in different
- 8:54Speaker 1: situations that are not the Well, look at that two
- 8:57Speaker 1: forty pound back. Let's watch him pound. We saw him
- 9:00Speaker 1: in past protection, we saw him in two backs, only
- 9:03Speaker 1: we haven't seen him is lined up wide right. But
- 9:05Speaker 1: I think you could do that with him in certain situations. Yeah,
- 9:07Speaker 1: it seems like fans have loved, especially last week, the
- 9:09Speaker 1: creative nature of Nathaniel Hacken and taking those shots down field.
- 9:12Speaker 1: So you hope even when Leonard Frenette is back that
- 9:14Speaker 1: he can still get creative and making those aggressive play calls.
- 9:17Speaker 1: I think what becomes intriguing some of why things work
- 9:20Speaker 1: in the NFL is when teams expect you to do
- 9:23Speaker 1: one thing and you do another. The Patriots still clearly
- 9:26Speaker 1: the other day expected the Jaguars to be run oriented.
- 9:28Speaker 1: One reason that what Nate was doing worked is because
- 9:32Speaker 1: Blake was throwing against a lot of single coverage. The
- 9:35Speaker 1: line got the Patriots pass rush blocked, so there was
- 9:38Speaker 1: a lot of time to throw to one on one receivers.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Now what happens when finally teams get out of the
- 9:45Speaker 1: box a little bit and you get a chance to
- 9:47Speaker 1: turn around and hand the bottle Leonard against not a
- 9:49Speaker 1: Nate Man box. You remember dar McNair with the Titans,
- 9:52Speaker 1: right that Steve McNear the quarterback came out of Alcorn State,
- 9:55Speaker 1: was thought to be a runner, right, not a thrower,
- 9:58Speaker 1: And so everyone said, well, Darry McNair's stacked the line
- 10:01Speaker 1: of scrimmage, make him throw to beat you. The last
- 10:04Speaker 1: couple years Conn been make Blake right, I mean, take
- 10:07Speaker 1: away the running game and let's see if Blake can
- 10:08Speaker 1: beat you. Well, last week he proved he can. So
- 10:11Speaker 1: there was a point in the mid two thousands where
- 10:14Speaker 1: Darry McNair went away. Perhaps make Blake is going away
- 10:17Speaker 1: now because that personality is no longer about round and pound.
- 10:21Speaker 1: The more I think about this offense, the more I
- 10:23Speaker 1: think the key is going to be. And I keep
- 10:26Speaker 1: going back to that Falcons game, not because of what
- 10:28Speaker 1: they were doing with two backs, the number of different
- 10:32Speaker 1: players that they utilize. You saw it against New England
- 10:36Speaker 1: as well. The Corey Grant t J Yeldon had enough
- 10:42Speaker 1: for Nette been in there. You've had three backs running
- 10:44Speaker 1: seven eight nine different receivers in the patterns using O'Shaughnessy
- 10:50Speaker 1: using Safari, and Jenkins using Niles Paul. I mean, there's
- 10:53Speaker 1: really not going to be a one star on this offense.
- 10:56Speaker 1: I don't think the more you gear towards on ten
- 11:00Speaker 1: guys touching the ball the better. This offensively big thing too.
- 11:05Speaker 1: With the Titans coming in town. Let's take a look
- 11:07Speaker 1: at the a f C South. So obviously the Jaguars
- 11:09Speaker 1: are a top of the a f C South with
- 11:11Speaker 1: two wins, any of the Titans and Colts tied with
- 11:13Speaker 1: one win one loss, and then the Texans are still
- 11:16Speaker 1: looking for that one win. I um, good, Well, I
- 11:21Speaker 1: don't believe in any of the other three teams like
- 11:26Speaker 1: this team, right, I mean, I don't think the offensive
- 11:28Speaker 1: line is gonna hold up in Houston. It looks like
- 11:31Speaker 1: it's gonna be hits on. The quarterback already coming back
- 11:34Speaker 1: from a reconstructed a C L. He's been sacked nine times.
- 11:38Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna hold up all SE's a
- 11:40Speaker 1: fat Jeff Lockhaman was in yesterday and we had the conversation.
- 11:42Speaker 1: He doesn't think he's gonna hold up either. I don't
- 11:44Speaker 1: believe in the defense in uh Indianapolis either, even though
- 11:48Speaker 1: they played better. I think you're still going to be
- 11:50Speaker 1: on the arm the shoulder of Andrew Luck and that
- 11:52Speaker 1: has to prove itself. And the Titans appeared to be
- 11:55Speaker 1: a talented team, one that's had this team's number. But
- 11:58Speaker 1: if Marcus Mariota and those offensive les aren't on the field,
- 12:01Speaker 1: they aren't who they think they are. Then they rely
- 12:03Speaker 1: on a defense which looks pretty good so far, but
- 12:07Speaker 1: only in categories. They've given up a lot of yards there.
- 12:11Speaker 1: I think we're gonna get me early tested the Jaguars
- 12:13Speaker 1: and the Division on Sunday. Yeah. There, the Titans are scrappy.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Um I spent a lot of day yesterday trying to
- 12:20Speaker 1: sort of get a feel for him. And it's hard
- 12:23Speaker 1: to because it's hard to figure out what they are
- 12:25Speaker 1: yet because Mariota has only played a half. You don't
- 12:29Speaker 1: have your tackles, what are they Offensively? You have Blaine Gabbert,
- 12:33Speaker 1: who you can't discount. He beat this team last year.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Here he can go and spurts where he's good enough
- 12:39Speaker 1: to beat you. But he had to have a strong
- 12:41Speaker 1: defensive performance. If the champion, Jones had to dominate the
- 12:44Speaker 1: defensive line. But he also came with plays at the
- 12:46Speaker 1: end of the end. True, he made a big throw
- 12:48Speaker 1: set up a long field goal. But this game, it's
- 12:53Speaker 1: silly to call it a turning point game. But you
- 12:56Speaker 1: win this in the Coal Slues, you're two up, and
- 12:59Speaker 1: you're two up with a win over Tennessee. You don't
- 13:06Speaker 1: clench things in September, but you sure can give yourself
- 13:10Speaker 1: the leading role for the entire season, and you take
- 13:14Speaker 1: a lot of pressure off yourself because all of a sudden,
- 13:17Speaker 1: one loss down the road doesn't absolutely slay your season.
- 13:20Speaker 1: It doesn't put you behind the eight ball. Um. The
- 13:23Speaker 1: other thing that it can do. A good teams do
- 13:27Speaker 1: things like established leads early in the season. They do
- 13:31Speaker 1: things like win eight games in a row at home,
- 13:34Speaker 1: start off three and oh um, you can make Super
- 13:37Speaker 1: Bowls without doing those things. But long winning streaks, unbeaten starts,
- 13:43Speaker 1: wins in the division, those are hallmarks of teams that
- 13:46Speaker 1: have a chance to go all the way. Your odds
- 13:49Speaker 1: go up when you do those things. It's it's too
- 13:51Speaker 1: early to say what's going to happen, But what do
- 13:54Speaker 1: you see in the division? Who was the most likely
- 13:57Speaker 1: contender the way that you see it watching. Could offset
- 14:01Speaker 1: the deficiencies of the offensive line. Because he's a mobile quarterback.
- 14:05Speaker 1: Luck could hold up all season. The arm gets stronger
- 14:08Speaker 1: and be able to make the kind of game changing
- 14:11Speaker 1: plays that offset a defense that doesn't have a lot
- 14:13Speaker 1: of talent. Mariota could get healthy with the tackles, and
- 14:16Speaker 1: the running game could take over like it has in
- 14:18Speaker 1: recent years. Could, could? Could? How do you see it
- 14:21Speaker 1: rolling out based on what you see so far? Well,
- 14:23Speaker 1: you know, I've been saying ever since Deshaun Watson got
- 14:26Speaker 1: hurt there is going to be a learning curve for him.
- 14:30Speaker 1: His first six games were otherworldly, nineteen touchdowns, Teams get
- 14:35Speaker 1: tapes on guys. So far this year hasn't looked like
- 14:38Speaker 1: I think a lot of people expected him to look.
- 14:41Speaker 1: I think perhaps he will after he gets through this
- 14:44Speaker 1: phase of now here's what teams are doing against me.
- 14:48Speaker 1: I have to adapt one more time. So I don't
- 14:51Speaker 1: think the Texans again. This is all about if you
- 14:56Speaker 1: start off three and oh and you get these teams
- 14:58Speaker 1: down to one and two. You wonder if the Texans
- 15:00Speaker 1: are gonna be able to win an FDA games to
- 15:02Speaker 1: get back ahead of you. I don't think so. Uh So.
- 15:05Speaker 1: I think the Titans are the team that's dangerous because
- 15:08Speaker 1: they seem to be a team maybe a little like
- 15:11Speaker 1: that team in the nineties when it first started out
- 15:13Speaker 1: that you can't quite figure out why they're good and winning,
- 15:17Speaker 1: but they're scrappy enough to keep winning. So it makes
- 15:19Speaker 1: him dangers. I will show the highlights yesterday Marcus Mariota
- 15:22Speaker 1: on one drive at the end of the game that
- 15:24Speaker 1: cemented the fifteen ten win. There where on second and
- 15:28Speaker 1: six at his own thirty two yard line. Malik Jackson,
- 15:31Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl defensive lineman, had him dead to right,
- 15:33Speaker 1: and he just kind of ducked under and shot forward
- 15:35Speaker 1: and got seven yards, got a first down. A couple
- 15:38Speaker 1: of plays later, third and five, right this defense against
- 15:41Speaker 1: that offense, and he runs for thirteen and he gets
- 15:45Speaker 1: by Calais Campbell and Barry Church, two guys who played
- 15:48Speaker 1: at a very high level. He's just got a slippery
- 15:50Speaker 1: quality to him. I think right now, as I look
- 15:52Speaker 1: at it, they're the team that's there in December as
- 15:54Speaker 1: the Jaguars are making a push for a second straight
- 15:56Speaker 1: division title. It's early, but that's kind of how I good. Yeah,
- 16:00Speaker 1: I see the Titans as well. When you look at
- 16:02Speaker 1: the Texas what the Shawn Watson said last week, that
- 16:04Speaker 1: pressure doesn't bother me with that offensive line. If I'm
- 16:07Speaker 1: a Texans fan with DeShawn Watson coming off a cl
- 16:10Speaker 1: that worries me because with that offensive line and him
- 16:13Speaker 1: trying to stay healthy, that makes me it's bothered him
- 16:16Speaker 1: so far. I mean, you know they're owing to and
- 16:19Speaker 1: he doesn't look like the guy statistically anyway that you
- 16:22Speaker 1: looked like last year. This is a chance to get
- 16:27Speaker 1: a commanding lead that other teams have to do Yeoman's
- 16:33Speaker 1: work to overcome. It doesn't clinch your division for you,
- 16:36Speaker 1: because it's only three games in, but it sure means
- 16:40Speaker 1: that you have. It means that something has to happen
- 16:43Speaker 1: to you going down the stretch that other teams can't expect.
- 16:47Speaker 1: You've got to lose some to let them get back
- 16:49Speaker 1: in it. It puts you other It puts a lot
- 16:51Speaker 1: of pressure on the other three teams. If you win
- 16:53Speaker 1: this week, let's rapid big things, all right, Big Thing
- 16:55Speaker 1: three is star power. So we're used to seeing a
- 16:57Speaker 1: lot of names on defense being on a film network
- 17:00Speaker 1: and all these big major networks and being stars. But
- 17:03Speaker 1: we're seeing some names recently this season that we're not
- 17:06Speaker 1: used to sing and one of them is Heeling. Cole,
- 17:08Speaker 1: the lead story on Good Morning Football yesterday, got the
- 17:11Speaker 1: call from Prime Time after the game on NFL Network.
- 17:13Speaker 1: It's a pretty cool moment for Healing. Cool because I
- 17:15Speaker 1: have never even heard his name on major networks like
- 17:18Speaker 1: that until last week. They have some young players john
- 17:22Speaker 1: who both made big plays in that game last week.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Obviously Cole had those two catches on that particular drive
- 17:27Speaker 1: and a hundred and sixteen yards uh and DD Westbrook
- 17:31Speaker 1: again getting some attention with the sixty one yard touchdown
- 17:34Speaker 1: that sealed the game. Essentially, um, those two guys are
- 17:38Speaker 1: one and two, ten catches and a touchdown. Nine catches
- 17:42Speaker 1: and a touchdown. We saw them, like last year, start
- 17:44Speaker 1: to rise and now all of a sudden, they look
- 17:47Speaker 1: like guys that you have to scheme for a little bit.
- 17:50Speaker 1: If you're a defensive coordinator, you have to take account
- 17:52Speaker 1: of at least Westbrook and Cole, well, we saw him
- 17:56Speaker 1: rise last year when they didn't even know what they
- 17:58Speaker 1: were doing right, because they were cookies. And I'm not
- 18:00Speaker 1: criticizing what they were doing in terms of preparation, but
- 18:04Speaker 1: when you're a rookie white, when you're a rookie wide
- 18:06Speaker 1: receiver in this league, unless you're a football savant, you
- 18:10Speaker 1: don't know what you're doing because there's too much to learn. UM.
- 18:14Speaker 1: When Blake Bortles talked in training camp about how much
- 18:17Speaker 1: these guys had improved in terms of when he could
- 18:20Speaker 1: look across him in the huddle and call the play
- 18:23Speaker 1: and they would sort of nod and go okay, you know,
- 18:25Speaker 1: and they would leave the huddle before he was finished
- 18:27Speaker 1: calling the play because they knew what he was talking about.
- 18:29Speaker 1: That was a huge sign for both of these guys
- 18:31Speaker 1: because now they can react instinctively. UM. It has been
- 18:36Speaker 1: interesting because every time you talk to people outside the
- 18:41Speaker 1: team about Keelan Cole until maybe now, there was sort
- 18:45Speaker 1: of a yeah, but he's not going to be that good,
- 18:49Speaker 1: right you know? You know, and if you look at
- 18:51Speaker 1: his numbers, he didn't do anything until six games in
- 18:55Speaker 1: last year since he started getting off. I think it
- 18:59Speaker 1: was in any Annapolis last year when he first started
- 19:01Speaker 1: came out. He's had twelve games since then, eight about
- 19:06Speaker 1: fifty yards receiving. His numbers since he started being a
- 19:11Speaker 1: factor are borderline Pro Bowl numbers, and their numbers that
- 19:17Speaker 1: I don't wanna say they make you a one yet,
- 19:19Speaker 1: but they sure make you a guy that nobody's wondering
- 19:21Speaker 1: if you can play in this league. You wonder there
- 19:25Speaker 1: are receivers all over the league, and I'm thinking Antonio
- 19:28Speaker 1: Brown and I'm not gonna put him in that category,
- 19:30Speaker 1: but their receivers all over the league that come out
- 19:31Speaker 1: of nowhere that sort of defy convention. Because Keilan doesn't
- 19:36Speaker 1: look like a guy. He's not a prototype, but neither
- 19:39Speaker 1: is Antonio Brown. So you wonder all the things you've
- 19:43Speaker 1: heard about Keeling Cole, all the speed, all the one
- 19:46Speaker 1: handed catches you see him make, can this guy be special?
- 19:50Speaker 1: And you just wonder that he might be. There's one
- 19:52Speaker 1: more guy who we all think already has shown us
- 19:55Speaker 1: some star power, but on a national scale. Again, people
- 19:58Speaker 1: didn't see him. There's a little bit in the playoffs.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Then the last Sunday is Corey Grant, who, in a
- 20:02Speaker 1: Darren Sprawls kind of way, you know, going into a
- 20:05Speaker 1: tendered year where he's going to be a free agent
- 20:07Speaker 1: next year, could become one of those star players because
- 20:10Speaker 1: everyone here in Jacksonville has been saying where's Corey? Where's Corey?
- 20:14Speaker 1: After last week, if fans won't have to call for it,
- 20:17Speaker 1: they're gonna see plenty of Corey Grant, even more Corey Grant,
- 20:20Speaker 1: then probably they thought they would interesting that I thought
- 20:25Speaker 1: before last week, because this is all he had really
- 20:28Speaker 1: shown that he was pure catch the ball and run
- 20:30Speaker 1: straight ahead runner. He had shown very little miss ability
- 20:35Speaker 1: in his career up until that point. Well, last week,
- 20:39Speaker 1: off sudden, he's dodging guys. He's you know, run into
- 20:41Speaker 1: people's legs free mis tackles, which which at least I
- 20:45Speaker 1: maybe there may be more. And I don't think I
- 20:48Speaker 1: was the only one who didn't think he could do that.
- 20:50Speaker 1: So if he can do that, if he can make
- 20:53Speaker 1: guys miss in the open field, um, I still don't
- 20:57Speaker 1: know that he's a guy that you can turn around
- 20:59Speaker 1: and and the ball off too. He had four carries
- 21:01Speaker 1: for thirteen yards the other day. It looked to me
- 21:04Speaker 1: like the Patriots knew how to stop it when you
- 21:08Speaker 1: were handing the ball in the backfield. But as a
- 21:10Speaker 1: receiver within the context of what we were talking about
- 21:13Speaker 1: A seven, eight, nine guys touching the ball in this scheme.
- 21:16Speaker 1: As I said during the offseason, he's become a guy
- 21:19Speaker 1: that you have to game plan for because if you don't,
- 21:23Speaker 1: he will beat you. But there's only one real example
- 21:26Speaker 1: of him taking the ball in the backfield. That was
- 21:28Speaker 1: the sixteen season finale in Indianapolis, where had a hundred
- 21:31Speaker 1: twenty two yards, but fifty of those came on one
- 21:34Speaker 1: touchdown runs. So we'll have to wait and see. But
- 21:36Speaker 1: I just again, I see Darren Sprowles is that, you know,
- 21:39Speaker 1: can do a lot of different things make guys miss.
- 21:41Speaker 1: How about on the third down play was third and
- 21:44Speaker 1: four and he ran for five, or third and two
- 21:46Speaker 1: when he ran for three where he started to the
- 21:48Speaker 1: left and he came back to the right. I mean
- 21:49Speaker 1: he showed some power on the sidelines. I just think
- 21:52Speaker 1: you've got a couple of young guys now coming in
- 21:54Speaker 1: with four Nette with Austin Severian Jakets. I think we
- 21:57Speaker 1: all believe that Donte Moncrief can do even better than
- 22:00Speaker 1: you need last week. But make a couple of key catches,
- 22:02Speaker 1: convert third down, grab a ball in the back of
- 22:04Speaker 1: the end zone over Stefan Gilmore. Now you mix those
- 22:07Speaker 1: guys in, Now you got something. I what Moncrief gives
- 22:09Speaker 1: you still say, I don't know what his numbers are. Innovate,
- 22:12Speaker 1: but he's got the skill set that again, you have
- 22:17Speaker 1: to account for it when it's on the field. Maybe
- 22:19Speaker 1: you can take it away, but you can't just leave
- 22:22Speaker 1: that alone and assume that he can't beat you. And
- 22:25Speaker 1: those are the guys that you need to allow the
- 22:28Speaker 1: other guys to make plays. All right, We've got much
- 22:30Speaker 1: more to come Joe and the oh next, but first
- 22:32Speaker 1: years to look at our Twitter pool of the day.
- 22:34Speaker 1: It will go all the way through the day. J
- 22:36Speaker 1: people have it unhappy hour this afternoon. Who's the Jaguars
- 22:38Speaker 1: primary rival? We know it's not Tom Brady and the Patriots,

- 24:48Speaker 1: because the Internet says it. Right, John, I bet you

- 25:23Speaker 1: is gonna save. By the way, you know what yesterday was?
- 25:26Speaker 1: Tell me please welcome to show. Joe, thank you said
- 25:32Speaker 1: it was anniversary of Jimi Hendricks dad. How about that
- 25:36Speaker 1: Jimi Hendrix wrote this song? Actually he was only that
- 25:40Speaker 1: was candid guitar player and the former Vietnam paratrooper. Alright,
- 25:44Speaker 1: former army ranger in Vietnam. I should say right anything
- 25:46Speaker 1: elould like to add, some consider him the greatest guitarists,
- 25:50Speaker 1: consider clapping the great guitars. And he's buried in rent
- 25:53Speaker 1: in Washington. Is I am learning a lot today? We
- 25:57Speaker 1: had big fans of Hey Joe, a little modeling. But
- 26:01Speaker 1: when three three times ago, when we went to Seattle
- 26:07Speaker 1: went to his grave, lots of guitar picks there. Yeah, okay,
- 26:11Speaker 1: it was pretty you know for grave side. It was
- 26:13Speaker 1: pretty cool. The great Joe Fortune. Hi, Hi, are you
- 26:18Speaker 1: you know I be this morning? You No, not at all.
- 26:21Speaker 1: This is interesting. I had something planned, you know, about
- 26:24Speaker 1: the Titans and about how this has to stop. It's
- 26:27Speaker 1: no longer another home game for them. But after yesterday's
- 26:33Speaker 1: happy hour, I stopped buying my my desk, and there's
- 26:36Speaker 1: a cassette tape sitting there, so naturally I have to
- 26:39Speaker 1: take the thing home because it's not a cassette tape
- 26:41Speaker 1: around here, not an eight track. Yeah really, anyway, play
- 26:44Speaker 1: the thing and it's okay. So anyway, I figure I'll
- 26:48Speaker 1: play it here. It's sheerworthy. Yeah, you're ready piped? Here
- 26:52Speaker 1: we go, all right, be piped everyone. It sounds familiar, Yeah,
- 27:04Speaker 1: little Yello. The Titans would always win. It was such
- 27:11Speaker 1: a sin. But now that's done because of play, they're
- 27:22Speaker 1: gonna lose play gab there's just new use play gaber
- 27:31Speaker 1: got a flame, gaper gone flame ga. Unfortunately there's a
- 27:39Speaker 1: second verse, is there? I think gonna played this in
- 27:41Speaker 1: the stadium one Sunday. I don't think so. They think
- 27:45Speaker 1: that they should on this town. But Miles Jack wasn't
- 27:51Speaker 1: down very clever, I know, but it rhymes I'm going
- 27:58Speaker 1: up play he's going to where sad since he bade
- 28:17Speaker 1: I'm not talking about Jeff Fisher in the comment after
- 28:19Speaker 1: the and I'm talking about Blame Gabbert with a long
- 28:23Speaker 1: hair on the Jaguars sideline. Yeah, id to only use
- 28:26Speaker 1: pictures of the long locks did for the song. There
- 28:30Speaker 1: were plenty of them, and that was two thousand and
- 28:32Speaker 1: eleven with the long haired Blaine. That was the only
- 28:35Speaker 1: his rookie year. So well done. I don't know where
- 28:39Speaker 1: that came from really, So you don't have a copywriter
- 28:42Speaker 1: or a trademark. Heck no, so somebody could bootleg it.
- 28:45Speaker 1: Yeah that sounded something tells me it's going to be bootlegged.
- 28:48Speaker 1: I mean, if you can find pipe in a dictionary
- 28:51Speaker 1: on the internet, you can find blame Gabert. We might
- 28:53Speaker 1: find pipe in a song someday if we can follow
- 28:57Speaker 1: up that with blame Gabtt's a true American on YouTube.
- 29:00Speaker 1: Even better is that it's a thing. Yeah, it's good,
- 29:05Speaker 1: look at it. Then, Hey, Joe, Yes, sir, fantastic, Thank you, Joe.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Fortunate a Ladies and gentlemen. The day after the musical
- 29:13Speaker 1: genius of Jimi Hendrick's staff. All right, here we go.
- 29:17Speaker 1: Where we're doing next? I've lost my train of thought? Snapshots?
- 29:22Speaker 1: I think it's time. All right, here we go Howard
- 29:25Speaker 1: from Homestead. Two questions. Howard, has one had Tom Brady
- 29:30Speaker 1: taken some of the hits that Blake Bortles took Sunday?
- 29:32Speaker 1: How many palts he's would have been called in too?
- 29:36Speaker 1: Now that bartle stock is increasing, will he start to
- 29:39Speaker 1: get these calls? I guess, I mean, it's uh, it's
- 29:43Speaker 1: so hard to say. I think there was one hit
- 29:46Speaker 1: and it's time to look forward. But this was an
- 29:48Speaker 1: interesting question to me. Um. I think there was one
- 29:51Speaker 1: hit that I recalled Blake sort of looking at the
- 29:54Speaker 1: official and sort of raising his hands that you're like, yeah,
- 29:58Speaker 1: it's probably a time from start getting those calls. Some
- 30:01Speaker 1: of it will be tough because mobile guys who run
- 30:04Speaker 1: and who play with the toughness of that position as
- 30:08Speaker 1: opposed to guys who standing in the pocket, are going
- 30:11Speaker 1: to just by instinct, get fewer calls. But I think
- 30:16Speaker 1: he'll get some. I don't know that it's anything you're
- 30:18Speaker 1: ever gonna be able to count on. I can't tell
- 30:20Speaker 1: what a referee is thinking. Who right, I mean, he's
- 30:22Speaker 1: likely to get those calls as he is to get
- 30:24Speaker 1: the respect from the national media. You figure out if
- 30:26Speaker 1: that's going to happen or not. When he runs out
- 30:30Speaker 1: of the pocket and he's driving with his head er,
- 30:32Speaker 1: driving with his shoulder pads, it's hard to make those
- 30:34Speaker 1: calls because Tom Brady is very rarely going to do that.
- 30:36Speaker 1: So I see what you're saying. When it's two different
- 30:38Speaker 1: types of quarterbacks, you can't really ask for the same call.
- 30:41Speaker 1: You're you're much apt, you're much more up to get
- 30:43Speaker 1: than when you're standing in the pocket and looks like
- 30:46Speaker 1: you're moving away from contact. But there was one the
- 30:49Speaker 1: other day where blame I mean Blake, here we go,
- 30:52Speaker 1: blame on the mind um where Blake was more in
- 30:56Speaker 1: the pocket and probably should have gotten the call. Uh,
- 31:00Speaker 1: you know. I guess the answer is you just can't
- 31:02Speaker 1: put yourself in a situation where you need that. All right,
- 31:06Speaker 1: let's go to Ross from Mechanicsville. Do you see this
- 31:09Speaker 1: team as closer than others in the past? Or is
- 31:12Speaker 1: this comment among all successful teams. I've seen it plenty
- 31:15Speaker 1: of times, but not quite the level it appears to
- 31:17Speaker 1: exist in Jacksonville the past two seasons. Well to what, Yeah,
- 31:21Speaker 1: that wasn't very specific question. What is he seen from
- 31:26Speaker 1: Mechanicsville as a close team? Oh, if you read the
- 31:30Speaker 1: first part of the question, Brian Ashton, you'll see do
- 31:32Speaker 1: you see this team as closer than others in the past?
- 31:35Speaker 1: And it was camaraderie and uh, the first part of
- 31:39Speaker 1: the question it was long, so I cut it down
- 31:42Speaker 1: for uh, you know. Um he was talking about how
- 31:49Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey after the game was asked by a reporter, Hey,
- 31:52Speaker 1: it looked like Blake really had a good first half,
- 31:55Speaker 1: and Jalen evidently several times went he had a good game.
- 31:58Speaker 1: He did just have a good first half. He a
- 32:00Speaker 1: good game, and it does strike you and and we've
- 32:03Speaker 1: all talked about it, how close a the rallying around
- 32:07Speaker 1: Blake is and how much they rally around each other.
- 32:13Speaker 1: I've been doing this twenty four years. Um, I've been
- 32:16Speaker 1: around teams that have won that are close. I don't
- 32:20Speaker 1: think it's overstating it are being corny say that this
- 32:26Speaker 1: is as close a team as I've been around in
- 32:28Speaker 1: terms of the commarade, in terms of the way they
- 32:29Speaker 1: play for each other. Not every team that I've covered
- 32:32Speaker 1: that's been good. I've thought they're good because they play
- 32:36Speaker 1: for each other. With these guys, I do think that's
- 32:38Speaker 1: an element of why they succeed. I think that I
- 32:40Speaker 1: think I think that's real bran in professional football, where
- 32:43Speaker 1: free agency and big money rules that you you can
- 32:46Speaker 1: have a championship caliber team of mercenaries. I mean of
- 32:49Speaker 1: guys who come in to play for themselves, that they
- 32:52Speaker 1: give in and they do what's best for the team,
- 32:55Speaker 1: but they're more worried about themselves than anyone else. Um,
- 32:59Speaker 1: in this case, you could have that because you've got
- 33:01Speaker 1: star players Miles, Jack and cook Way All I don't
- 33:04Speaker 1: have list him. You know who they are, and yet
- 33:06Speaker 1: they don't. They do, Yet they have each other's back.
- 33:09Speaker 1: And that's not an overstatement. You've got a guy who's
- 33:12Speaker 1: perceived as I mean, I'm sure there are people out
- 33:16Speaker 1: there who if you asked who is the biggest prima
- 33:19Speaker 1: don in the league, there are probably national people who
- 33:21Speaker 1: would answer Jalen Ramsey. Well, okay, but this is a
- 33:26Speaker 1: guy who is very close with his counterpart, meaning a
- 33:31Speaker 1: j boy, a who some people think is better than
- 33:33Speaker 1: he is. That would be a guy who you would
- 33:36Speaker 1: think there'd be a rivalry. And they're tight. They love
- 33:39Speaker 1: playing with each other, and Jalen loves playing with him,
- 33:41Speaker 1: and Jalen is always talking about Blake and that, you know, so, um,
- 33:46Speaker 1: I do think there is a special chemistry to this
- 33:49Speaker 1: locker room that doesn't always exist in there. Well, in
- 33:51Speaker 1: the post game on Sunday, I referenced Miles Jack's comment
- 33:55Speaker 1: in New York, which was, Hey, you know, anything the
- 33:58Speaker 1: offense gives us we consider a bonus because we think
- 34:01Speaker 1: if they give us a field goal, that's enough we
- 34:02Speaker 1: should be able to win, which you know is typical
- 34:05Speaker 1: of a very confident defender. So I said, hey, what
- 34:07Speaker 1: about oh, and then they just they just raved about
- 34:11Speaker 1: Blake and the way that I didn't even say Blake.
- 34:14Speaker 1: I just said how about three? And the conversation naturally
- 34:17Speaker 1: steered there so whether it was Unique or Miles or
- 34:21Speaker 1: a j or Jalen, they all wanted to talk in
- 34:24Speaker 1: the postgame about the offense, and by the way they
- 34:27Speaker 1: like to talk about themselves, they wanted to talk about Blake.
- 34:30Speaker 1: This is a I don't know how long it's gonna last.
- 34:33Speaker 1: This is a really good team obviously that I think
- 34:36Speaker 1: is going to win a lot of games for a while.
- 34:38Speaker 1: What makes it fun for us is the fact that
- 34:42Speaker 1: the locker room is so one for all and all
- 34:46Speaker 1: for one and then and there is that and fans
- 34:49Speaker 1: I think since that as well, enjoy this bunch and
- 34:53Speaker 1: how they are with each other because it doesn't always
- 34:55Speaker 1: changes fast. All right, last one, Wade from west Side.
- 34:59Speaker 1: Do you think the Jacks will have a big letdown
- 35:01Speaker 1: after such a big win? I hope this team builds
- 35:04Speaker 1: on it, but we have seen flat performances following a
- 35:07Speaker 1: big win in a way that Titans games may be
- 35:09Speaker 1: much tougher to win. I think it's really perfectly placed,
- 35:13Speaker 1: to be honest with you, John, this team the Titans
- 35:18Speaker 1: coming and beat him twice last year, and we all
- 35:20Speaker 1: know how quickly the players were to point out in
- 35:23Speaker 1: the locker room afterwards, Hey, these guys got us twice
- 35:25Speaker 1: last year. They didn't like Darrell Casey's comments about Bordles,
- 35:29Speaker 1: they didn't like the comments about their the division champ,
- 35:32Speaker 1: but they didn't beat us. So I think this game.
- 35:36Speaker 1: NFL schedule makers can do some interesting things and people
- 35:38Speaker 1: won't look at it. We here can look at it,
- 35:40Speaker 1: but people around the country won't. This game was well
- 35:42Speaker 1: placed on the jobs. Yeah. Um, when you switch gears
- 35:48Speaker 1: in the NFL, meaning on Tuesday is really the day
- 35:52Speaker 1: that you start looking for I'm sure the players do too,
- 35:54Speaker 1: but we do in our coverage. We start looking forward
- 35:56Speaker 1: to the next game. Well, I kept trying yesterday to
- 35:59Speaker 1: figure out how this next game was going to be.
- 36:02Speaker 1: You're trying to get a handle on the on the Titans. Uh,
- 36:06Speaker 1: they're sort of a nondescript team right now because they're
- 36:09Speaker 1: so injured. But the thing I kept going back to is,
- 36:13Speaker 1: I can't imagine that this Jaguars defense, especially the defense
- 36:17Speaker 1: who Malie Jackson a couple other players really didn't like
- 36:21Speaker 1: Darrell Casey's comments last year after a really violent, pushing
- 36:27Speaker 1: and shoving type of game in Tennessee. I can't imagine
- 36:32Speaker 1: that this defense. I don't say they're gonna be more
- 36:35Speaker 1: jack than they were to play New England, but I
- 36:38Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a close second. I can't imagine
- 36:41Speaker 1: that they're not going to come out ready for a fight.
- 36:42Speaker 1: Yeah for them to talk about Tennessee ten minutes after
- 36:46Speaker 1: the Patriots game and had showed me that they're ready
- 36:48Speaker 1: for this game. They're excited for it. But I do
- 36:50Speaker 1: think the writer has a point, not this writer, because
- 36:53Speaker 1: I always have a point, but the writer of the question,
- 36:55Speaker 1: Brian um in that it does feel perhaps a trickier
- 37:01Speaker 1: matchup than New England. And as weird as that sounds,
- 37:03Speaker 1: because New England's New England. This team last year was
- 37:06Speaker 1: ten points ahead Ayling and dominated New England. We have
- 37:09Speaker 1: seen multiple times the Jaguars play for extended stretches of
- 37:14Speaker 1: two and a half three quarters where you thought to yourself,
- 37:17Speaker 1: well they're better than Patriots, and you know, we haven't
- 37:19Speaker 1: seen that against Tennessee. I have to go back and
- 37:21Speaker 1: look and see whether the Jaguars scored first or whether
- 37:24Speaker 1: the Titans did. In the ballgame here it was a
- 37:26Speaker 1: six three ball tight. It was tight. But we haven't
- 37:29Speaker 1: seen him dominate this team. We haven't seen him lead
- 37:31Speaker 1: this team they led the Titans led up there, and
- 37:34Speaker 1: the Titans led to here most of the way. So
- 37:36Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a league of matchups, and sometimes
- 37:39Speaker 1: the matchups are quirky, and sometimes you don't match up
- 37:41Speaker 1: that great against the team the Jaguars need to prove
- 37:43Speaker 1: they match up against the tell and Delanny Walkers on
- 37:45Speaker 1: injured reserve, and he was a mismatchup problem that the
- 37:47Speaker 1: Jaguars had. Mismatch isn't the right word, but he was
- 37:50Speaker 1: a tough matchup. Uh and their two offensive tackles. Obviously,
- 37:55Speaker 1: Uh Conklin may or may not play. He hasn't yet
- 37:57Speaker 1: coming back from the a c. L. Taylor Lauan at
- 37:59Speaker 1: the Cushion. So we'll see where the matchups go. If
- 38:02Speaker 1: the Jaguars are ready to play. Though there is tough
- 38:05Speaker 1: matchup for anyone in the National Football League. We'll take
- 38:08Speaker 1: a breakhen we come back. As paddle time. Oh we
- 38:13Speaker 1: call it as we can call it, paddle time to
- 38:16Speaker 1: paddle time fun. John Please Duval Motor Company was found

- 39:58Speaker 1: to our friends at the Duvon Voter Company Plan and
- 40:02Speaker 1: paddle time. Yeah, alright, paddles. John, are you ready? You
- 40:07Speaker 1: have to redeem yourself. You didn't do so well last week.
- 40:09Speaker 1: I recall you losing. I recall that as well. Maybe
- 40:14Speaker 1: your I'm not acknowledging this. I'm like, you don't have
- 40:19Speaker 1: to all right now, this isn't much of a competition.
- 40:21Speaker 1: It's more opinion based. Your favorite memory of the Jaguars
- 40:25Speaker 1: when over the Patriots is ten seconds. Think quick. There's
- 40:33Speaker 1: a lot of memories, a lot of big plays, highlights,
- 40:37Speaker 1: great atmosphere. You could go a lot of angle with this,
- 40:42Speaker 1: John Straw pictures. He never participates in the game. All right, Brian,
- 40:48Speaker 1: go ahead. I'm gonna go with Austin Severian Jenkins touchdown
- 40:51Speaker 1: at the end of the first half. And the reason
- 40:53Speaker 1: why is a year ago? Why not a year ago? Um?
- 40:57Speaker 1: But in January the Jaguars like fourteen to three and
- 41:01Speaker 1: they were taking it in to go up one three
- 41:03Speaker 1: and I thought at that moment that the Jaguars had
- 41:05Speaker 1: their their first Super Bowl in the bag. And they
- 41:09Speaker 1: threw the out. Bortles threw the out to Mercedes for
- 41:11Speaker 1: the first down, got the flag for too much time,
- 41:14Speaker 1: Jaguars had to punt. Tom Brady went down the length
- 41:16Speaker 1: of the field and scored its fourteen ten, and I thought, oh,
- 41:19Speaker 1: that was the score of the last daf C title game.
- 41:22Speaker 1: The Jags played into the half and they lost it.
- 41:24Speaker 1: We know the outcome this time. Jaguars third down in
- 41:27Speaker 1: seven eight yards to a s J. Then they go
- 41:29Speaker 1: down the field and score go up one to three.
- 41:31Speaker 1: And at that moment I came in, I said, they're
- 41:34Speaker 1: kicking their butt. They got this one. Yep. It was
- 41:36Speaker 1: a huge momentum shift. And I don't think we've been
- 41:37Speaker 1: waiting so long to see a s J make a
- 41:39Speaker 1: big play like that. Go and I think, I said,
- 41:41Speaker 1: and he will, He won't, He might that he would
- 41:43Speaker 1: catch the game, all right, it's like the game of
- 41:46Speaker 1: the season. How long we have to wait? We'll see.
- 41:48Speaker 1: You're just like this fan happenation of the Triggers. Are
- 41:57Speaker 1: you a millennial digital jet an expert? I think I'm both?
- 42:01Speaker 1: Can I be both? I'm just saying we watched them
- 42:03Speaker 1: all training camp. I wanted to see something happen. Okay,
- 42:06Speaker 1: that's fair, all right, What the heck is this? This
- 42:09Speaker 1: is the one? All right? This is a football, This
- 42:16Speaker 1: is a hand coming out of nowhere. This is four
- 42:18Speaker 1: and Cole and this is the reaction of the players
- 42:21Speaker 1: on the sidelines who couldn't believe what they saw. And
- 42:24Speaker 1: I what I will do, Ashland, is I will take
- 42:28Speaker 1: a pictures and print it out and you can put
- 42:30Speaker 1: it on your refrigerator at home, just like kids draw
- 42:33Speaker 1: art for people. The Healing Pole cat on Twitter a
- 42:46Speaker 1: lot of they had a lot of pictures of Patriots.
- 42:50Speaker 1: It's interesting, all right. Next question, are we erased? Are
- 42:54Speaker 1: we ready? I'm sorry you had to remove that great illustration.
- 42:57Speaker 1: That makes me sad. Well time, what game and the
- 43:01Speaker 1: remaining schedule are you most excited for. I don't think
- 43:07Speaker 1: you can draw this one out, John, but I'd like
- 43:09Speaker 1: to see you try. You got the Steelers Titans on Sunday.
- 43:15Speaker 1: We've been saying that's a big matchup Patrick Mahomes in
- 43:18Speaker 1: Kansas City. That looks exciting. Wow. Oh, we got Brian
- 43:24Speaker 1: drawn too. You're already done. And I see, Ashton, thought
- 43:29Speaker 1: I couldn't draw again, But this is k Kansas City,
- 43:35Speaker 1: Kansas City, and you know, I perhaps by the time
- 43:40Speaker 1: the Steelers game gets here, if the Steelers are back
- 43:43Speaker 1: to being the Steelers, Um, Ashton, you'll see And Brian,
- 43:48Speaker 1: you've seen more of these than I have. There's an
- 43:50Speaker 1: energy with Pittsburgh in here on a on a night
- 43:53Speaker 1: game that if they're good and it and it matters,
- 43:57Speaker 1: there's something about that element for this and basse that
- 44:01Speaker 1: just gets unbelievably hyped up. So that may wind up
- 44:04Speaker 1: being the most memorable. But Casey offense against this defense
- 44:08Speaker 1: can be a scene. This is a flaming thumb tack.
- 44:12Speaker 1: I'm up for the next one, the Titans on Sunday, right,
- 44:16Speaker 1: I mean division game, a chance to go three and
- 44:19Speaker 1: oh it might be worse than my drawing. Aw, I
- 44:24Speaker 1: don't think it looks like a sword, right. Yeah, he's
- 44:27Speaker 1: not high definition here, right, I mean it's a paddle
- 44:32Speaker 1: and a sharpeat. I'm excited for Sunday. The Jaguars didn't
- 44:36Speaker 1: beat the Titans last year. They know the energy that
- 44:40Speaker 1: they had in the locker room in the post game
- 44:41Speaker 1: on Sunday had me excited. Yeah, they are pretty good
- 44:45Speaker 1: and that's my hometown. And I think everybody probably thought, oh,
- 44:47Speaker 1: he's probably meant the drawing. I don't care if I
- 44:54Speaker 1: think it's interesting done. When you said about the Pittsburgh Steelers,
- 44:57Speaker 1: are not the Steelers that they used to be at
- 44:59Speaker 1: the smell when in time. But I remember when we
- 45:01Speaker 1: went to Steelers last season and how amped up. That's
- 45:04Speaker 1: Chris Stadium. Eagles in London is a good one too,
- 45:05Speaker 1: especially if Carson Wentz gonna play. There's a few good ones.
- 45:08Speaker 1: You're good. You get some good games, all right. Last one,
- 45:12Speaker 1: if you had to go grab lunch with one player
- 45:15Speaker 1: on the Jags, who are you inviting? Who are you saying, Hey,
- 45:18Speaker 1: let's go to lunch, big guy? So it has to
- 45:22Speaker 1: be a big guy that's just you know, a term
- 45:26Speaker 1: pal friend. There's a lot. John's totally picking Carson Tinker,
- 45:32Speaker 1: that's his guy. Has to be a player. Jalen Ramsey
- 45:43Speaker 1: would be exciting. Mm hmm. Josh Lambo seems to have
- 45:48Speaker 1: a lot of knowledge about the world. You can sure
- 45:51Speaker 1: they would all be great, all right, Brian, go ahead.
- 45:56Speaker 1: I'm going with the one guy who doesn't talk in
- 45:58Speaker 1: the locker room, who scowl, who looks like he would
- 46:01Speaker 1: rather eat you than talk to you. So I'd like
- 46:04Speaker 1: to line up with him in a sandwich and find
- 46:06Speaker 1: out why he doesn't like us, why he won't talk
- 46:10Speaker 1: to us. So you're not going for the pleasant, casual conversation.
- 46:12Speaker 1: I want the tough conversation. I want an offensive lineman,
- 46:17Speaker 1: none of the offensive lineman. And they're really like to talk, right,
- 46:21Speaker 1: this is a yeah, okay, but I can't talk to
- 46:25Speaker 1: him yet because he's not really playing. Um, Jeremy Pornell
- 46:29Speaker 1: gets some of the great matchups that this team faces, right.
- 46:32Speaker 1: I want to ask him he was signed to stop
- 46:33Speaker 1: j J. Watt. I want to ask him about j
- 46:35Speaker 1: J Watt the week of that game. Um, but primarily
- 46:38Speaker 1: because I'm like that dog that knows when you don't
- 46:40Speaker 1: like me, and I'm looking at you, and he does
- 46:45Speaker 1: not like the media. He makes a significant effort to
- 46:48Speaker 1: let you know he doesn't. In fact, on Sunday, Hell
- 46:50Speaker 1: and Cole was of course, had a huge crowd around
- 46:53Speaker 1: him after that catch, and he lockers right next to
- 46:55Speaker 1: Jeremy and he kept saying he with a genuine look
- 46:58Speaker 1: on his face, like, Hey, you're in Jeremy's right guys,
- 47:01Speaker 1: can we move this over here? You're in Jeremy space.
- 47:03Speaker 1: People seem afraid of Jeremy. I would like to have
- 47:06Speaker 1: lunch with him. Can I see that board? Let's tell
- 47:07Speaker 1: you one reason, like media can't spell his name right
- 47:09Speaker 1: for one thing. Um, there's an Ian Jerem. Yeah, I
- 47:14Speaker 1: knew there was another, but it's not. It's not. It
- 47:17Speaker 1: started with that. That's where it all starts. Why he
- 47:20Speaker 1: doesn't like you because you can't spell his name? Right,
- 47:23Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he doesn't like him either. Can you
- 47:26Speaker 1: spell jeremy? Uh, there's an Ian there somewhere. We're kind
- 47:29Speaker 1: of getting different. I'm gonna go with the obvious. I'll
- 47:31Speaker 1: go with I'm not writing words today, obviously. Uh Blake.
- 47:37Speaker 1: I think you know who wouldn't want to have lunch
- 47:41Speaker 1: with Blake Jalen although he wouldn't really enjoy it much,
- 47:45Speaker 1: but not not definitely, not Tank, definitely not Tinker. Wow,
- 47:52Speaker 1: I'm ever gonna say why, let's just let it in there.
- 47:56Speaker 1: But I could have spelled his name. Well, you we're
- 47:58Speaker 1: supposed to pick one who out of those I said
- 48:02Speaker 1: seven with apologies to five and twenty. You know it
- 48:04Speaker 1: wouldn't mind apologies because they would kill lunch with him. Yeah.
- 48:09Speaker 1: I think I couldn't spell in his name, but I's
- 48:11Speaker 1: put his numbers, so that's tough. That's a long long
- 48:15Speaker 1: list of spelling. All right, that's all I got, Frost,
- 48:19Speaker 1: We'll take your break and come back with a look
- 48:21Speaker 1: at power rankings and NFL headlines and wrap up a
- 48:24Speaker 1: Wednesday morning. Jags Drive Time brought about the good folks
- 48:27Speaker 1: at Duval Motor Company. Duval Motor Company was found at

- 48:56Speaker 1: any of their four locations Cassid Avenue, Atlantic of Art
- 49:00Speaker 1: and Gamesville. Like you, They're proud of their community, proud
- 49:04Speaker 1: to be t Fall Motor Company. Only in Jacksonville, can

- 49:45Speaker 1: to the Jags Drive Time pull on Twitter. Look at that,
- 49:50Speaker 1: say the Titans. That's a good sign. Hopefully the majority
- 49:54Speaker 1: of that fifty percent will show up on Sunday yelling
- 49:57Speaker 1: and cheering as the Jacks play the second of three
- 50:01Speaker 1: consecutive home games. It's gonna be warm, as you can imagine.
- 50:05Speaker 1: In September one o'clock. I think the forecast is slightly
- 50:07Speaker 1: cooler than last week. Instead of being nine, I think
- 50:10Speaker 1: it's eighty eight with some chances of rain. But it's
- 50:12Speaker 1: not terrible. It's still going to be warm. It's still
- 50:14Speaker 1: gonna be warm. Yeah. That Patriots game, the first quarter
- 50:18Speaker 1: I thought was brutal, and then once we got into
- 50:20Speaker 1: the second quarter, it wasn't that bad. I didn't think
- 50:22Speaker 1: it was. And that was hot when the sun was
- 50:24Speaker 1: out in pregame, but when the clouds came by, there
- 50:28Speaker 1: was a little breeze. I kept looking over that thing
- 50:30Speaker 1: that was over dred and I almost thought it was
- 50:32Speaker 1: just fixed there, that they had taped it there, because
- 50:34Speaker 1: it didn't seem as hot. Now the humidity and it
- 50:36Speaker 1: affects the players obviously because we're wearing all those pads.
- 50:38Speaker 1: But I didn't think it was quite as hot as
- 50:40Speaker 1: it felt. And John was nice and cool, and they
- 50:41Speaker 1: are conditioning. It was enough where I had to take
- 50:44Speaker 1: my jacket off. So I feel you, guys, but the
- 50:49Speaker 1: heat was radiating through the window. I'm with you. He
- 50:51Speaker 1: feels the pain. One bond straight dogs stop. Alright, time
- 50:59Speaker 1: for our rankings. Don't you leave this conversation? Oh I can, yes, yes, Well,
- 51:06Speaker 1: we've seen a jump the past week in power rankings,
- 51:09Speaker 1: and almost all the power rankings the Jaguars are in
- 51:11Speaker 1: the town forgot the qualifier though the qualifiers these mean nothing,
- 51:13Speaker 1: no matter who does. They do mean nothing, but we
- 51:15Speaker 1: are still looking at them and fans like them. But
- 51:18Speaker 1: that's our weekly qualifier. We're gonna put them up just
- 51:20Speaker 1: for entertainment value. But they mean nothing. Yes, we've seen
- 51:23Speaker 1: a jump in the past week. Most of the poles
- 51:25Speaker 1: have the Jaguars in the top five, but there are
- 51:27Speaker 1: a few like ESPN that have the Jaguars as number
- 51:30Speaker 1: one and or two. Yeah, there are a lot of
- 51:33Speaker 1: people that do it. Now. John does it as well,
- 51:35Speaker 1: and here are his power rankings. Care to explain anything
- 51:38Speaker 1: at all or does it just speak for itself? Well,
- 51:39Speaker 1: I mean I got a little kickback from fans and
- 51:42Speaker 1: well it should have been this teamship. In this team,
- 51:45Speaker 1: you just beat Tom Brady and the Patriots, and I
- 51:49Speaker 1: don't care if if they're down, up whatever. You expect
- 51:53Speaker 1: that team to win ten or eleven games and you
- 51:55Speaker 1: beat them. Uh, the Bucks have been impressive and they
- 52:00Speaker 1: beat the Eagles, but to beat the Eagles without Carson Wentz,
- 52:03Speaker 1: I think the Eagles gonna be a better team once
- 52:05Speaker 1: Carson Wentz gets back. I'm not sure you felt like
- 52:08Speaker 1: you've beat a hundred Eagles. Um. You know, Jaguars a
- 52:13Speaker 1: two and and they beat the best team in the
- 52:15Speaker 1: league or the less fifteen years, they should be number one.
- 52:17Speaker 1: Well proven that anybody can do this. We are now
- 52:20Speaker 1: weighing in with our power rankings as um, so I
- 52:24Speaker 1: don't know who you got next, Max, whether it's me
- 52:26Speaker 1: or whether it's Ashland. They got mine. UM I went
- 52:28Speaker 1: with the Rams number one because they still have their
- 52:30Speaker 1: starting left tackle, because they've had Todd Gurley and the
- 52:34Speaker 1: Jaguars have not had Uh Leonard for Nett. Some may say,
- 52:38Speaker 1: well because they haven't had those guys that they're still
- 52:40Speaker 1: two and oh with the win. I get it. I
- 52:42Speaker 1: also like the Jaguars in the slightest little underdog role
- 52:46Speaker 1: you can be in. Because this team loves to play
- 52:47Speaker 1: with the chip on its shoulder. I think it's their
- 52:49Speaker 1: natural disposition. I'm not ready to see them until they're
- 52:52Speaker 1: holding the Lombardi Trophy. Uh not have that attitude. So
- 52:57Speaker 1: I went with Rams, Jaguars. We saw the Vikings. They're outstanding. Um.
- 53:02Speaker 1: The Chiefs obviously are a bit one dimensional. Their defense
- 53:05Speaker 1: is not as good as their offense. UM, but with
- 53:08Speaker 1: an offense like that, they don't have to be. And
- 53:11Speaker 1: the Eagles are the defending Super Bowl champs. They didn't
- 53:13Speaker 1: play very well, but they get Carson Wentz back that
- 53:15Speaker 1: should change things dramatically, if not this week, in the
- 53:18Speaker 1: very near future, I believe they're a top five teams. Alright,
- 53:21Speaker 1: my poweringings, I have Jaguars, Rams, Chiefs, Patriots and Vikings. John,
- 53:25Speaker 1: I agree with you the Jaguars coming off that big
- 53:27Speaker 1: one over the Patriots, and also strength of schedule playing
- 53:30Speaker 1: the Giants in New England. I think they have a
- 53:31Speaker 1: stronger strength of schedule than the Rams. I think the
- 53:34Speaker 1: Vikings look fantastic. Kansas City has a great defense. The Patriots,
- 53:38Speaker 1: even though they lost, they're still fantastic team. So I
- 53:40Speaker 1: put them there at for But John, I like the Bucks.
- 53:42Speaker 1: I think they're playing fantastic as well, and I think
- 53:45Speaker 1: they'll be in the top five everywhere if they keep
- 53:46Speaker 1: playing like that. Yeah, the Bucks I think are going
- 53:48Speaker 1: to have some tricky times because they've got a quarterback
- 53:52Speaker 1: issue coming up, and I think I think they'll stay
- 53:56Speaker 1: with Fitzpatrick. But when you've got a franchise guy coming
- 54:00Speaker 1: back who hasn't lost his job because of anything you
- 54:03Speaker 1: did on the field, but because of a suspension, Uh,
- 54:06Speaker 1: that's gonna get dicey, I think. And you wonder how
- 54:08Speaker 1: long fits Magic cannot maintain. To your point, Brian, I
- 54:13Speaker 1: don't think this team is going to have a problem
- 54:16Speaker 1: if people start saying they're good. I kind of get
- 54:19Speaker 1: the idea that these guys are gonna thrive on that
- 54:22Speaker 1: and want to show, yeah, we're better than you even think. Well,
- 54:26Speaker 1: I don't, I don't think. I don't think this impacts
- 54:28Speaker 1: them in any way. I just like the attitude in
- 54:30Speaker 1: the locker room, do you know what I mean. I
- 54:32Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna lose that attitude because then you know,
- 54:36Speaker 1: if if somebody says this team is the best in
- 54:38Speaker 1: the league. Boy O woul get mad because they said
- 54:40Speaker 1: it wasn't the best of all time. I mean, they'll
- 54:42Speaker 1: figure out a way a guy like Yunike and go way.
- 54:46Speaker 1: I can't imagine him not being able to say. I
- 54:49Speaker 1: think doubt me all they want right that little edge
- 54:53Speaker 1: I enjoy covering, But no, I'm with you. Here's the
- 54:55Speaker 1: one thing you know, and I'll keep it. I look
- 54:57Speaker 1: at these four um entertainment value purely, uh, but also
- 55:01Speaker 1: you know the right people who write them just to
- 55:03Speaker 1: see what they think. The Jaguars are one or two
- 55:05Speaker 1: in most every significant one. And the comment that I
- 55:07Speaker 1: was looking for which I saw was that roster is
- 55:10Speaker 1: loaded and people now recognize it for being as good
- 55:14Speaker 1: as it is. How about a couple of quick NFL
- 55:16Speaker 1: headlines for you. A brand new book coming out in
- 55:18Speaker 1: the next week or so UM on Tom Brady. In fact,
- 55:22Speaker 1: the book is called How I Gonna Get My Glasses Here,
- 55:24Speaker 1: it says Bill Belichick, the making of the greatest football
- 55:29Speaker 1: coach of all time, and a writer named Ian O'Connor
- 55:32Speaker 1: has been doing the media tour and telling the story
- 55:35Speaker 1: of Tom Brady nearly asking to be traded or retiring
- 55:39Speaker 1: because he had had enough of Bill Belichick. Now, the
- 55:42Speaker 1: book is going to be a story in and of itself.
- 55:44Speaker 1: But word out of New England yesterday was that the
- 55:47Speaker 1: whole trade for Josh Gordon was precipitated by a throw
- 55:51Speaker 1: down between Brady and Belichick postgame here about not having
- 55:55Speaker 1: enough targets, not having enough weapons. They got to do
- 55:57Speaker 1: more in the passing game. So that made it interesting
- 56:00Speaker 1: to me. What's next? He just wants to win the
- 56:05Speaker 1: story of Antonio Brown, right, I mean, boy, They've got
- 56:08Speaker 1: a little circus going on right now in Pittsburgh, and
- 56:12Speaker 1: apparently Tom and Bill aren't the only ones because Antonio
- 56:15Speaker 1: Brown skip practice on Monday. Now, it's not the first thing.
- 56:18Speaker 1: He's had sideline blow ups before, not getting the football
- 56:20Speaker 1: thrown in his direction. But the thing in Pittsburgh, I
- 56:24Speaker 1: don't want to say it's going south, but it's it's
- 56:26Speaker 1: teetering right now at oh one and one. Antonio Brown
- 56:31Speaker 1: could be a major distraction. I would still put the
- 56:34Speaker 1: odds on both of these teams. You know, they just
- 56:39Speaker 1: seem to figure out a way to be on a
- 56:41Speaker 1: five game winning streak in October and early November. I
- 56:44Speaker 1: still think the the organizations and the what they do
- 56:50Speaker 1: is strong enough to make that happen. But with the
- 56:52Speaker 1: Levan Bell thing in Pittsburgh, though Pittsburgh differently. The Pittsburgh
- 56:57Speaker 1: thing is interesting because they are not a great defensive
- 57:01Speaker 1: team right now, and at O one and one, you
- 57:05Speaker 1: better start winning. If Levion Bell was there, you'd have
- 57:08Speaker 1: to think they'd be at least one and one and
- 57:10Speaker 1: and potentially based on the way that they came back
- 57:12Speaker 1: on Kansas City the other day, they could be two
- 57:14Speaker 1: and oh. We'll see how it all rolls out. The
- 57:16Speaker 1: final one plays to your story about fits magic over there.
- 57:19Speaker 1: In Tampa yesterday, DeShawn Jackson, a very outspoken receiver, said
- 57:23Speaker 1: you can't mention him. He has to stay in the
- 57:25Speaker 1: lineup when Jamis Winston comes back. So the players in
- 57:28Speaker 1: the locker room, obviously, despite the fact that Winston's the
- 57:31Speaker 1: franchise sticking up for the guy with a great chest
- 57:34Speaker 1: here yeah, and that's yeah, it's just here is out standing.
- 57:38Speaker 1: But um uh, that's great until he's not the second
- 57:45Speaker 1: hottest quarterback in the league. And that will happen because
- 57:48Speaker 1: he does with him well, it does with any quarterback.
- 57:50Speaker 1: I mean, right now, it's obvious you have to keep
- 57:53Speaker 1: the issue becomes when it's not so obvious, And how
- 57:56Speaker 1: does it sort of shake out when it gets dicey
- 57:58Speaker 1: when you're four and two instead of two and oh
- 58:02Speaker 1: you know it's uh it, it's hard to see that
- 58:05Speaker 1: not being an issue. Also, but if you go back
- 58:07Speaker 1: and look at at Fitzpatrick's career, he has had strong
- 58:10Speaker 1: performances and no matter where he's been, he's had moments
- 58:13Speaker 1: where you think, wow, could this guy be the franchise
- 58:15Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, one Sunday, he's not.
- 58:17Speaker 1: And at that moment, I think it becomes an easy
- 58:19Speaker 1: to suit. But why if with him playing at that level,
- 58:21Speaker 1: can you just keep him until he's not playing at
- 58:24Speaker 1: that huge I think that's it. I think that's what
- 58:27Speaker 1: you do. You ride him until that moment you don't
- 58:29Speaker 1: know when it's coming. Maybe with this defense and with
- 58:32Speaker 1: the receiver's playing as well as they are, it lasts
- 58:34Speaker 1: a couple of games longer than it did in Buffalo
- 58:36Speaker 1: or Houston or Cincinnati or the Rams or the Jets
- 58:39Speaker 1: or wherever else he has been. That'll do it for
- 58:41Speaker 1: the show. Don't forget Doug Moron coming up about ten
- 58:44Speaker 1: fifty this after this morning, this morning. Uh and then
- 58:47Speaker 1: we'll have Blake Bordis and Telvin Smith this afternoon. All
- 58:50Speaker 1: of it on Jaguars social channels and on jaguars dot com.
- 58:54Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us, thanks to the Duval Motor Company.
- 58:56Speaker 1: Have a great morning everyone, m
