0:12
Speaker 1: you and today is Friday, December eighteenth, and Week fifteen
0:15
Speaker 1: is upon us. Three games to go in the season,
0:19
Speaker 1: starting this Sunday, when the Jaguars head to the Inner
0:21
Speaker 1: Harbor to face the Baltimore Ravens. We've got plenty to
0:25
Speaker 1: review from a busy week, including a final recap of
0:28
Speaker 1: the loss to the Titans in Week fourteen, the return
0:31
Speaker 1: of gardnerment Too the second to the starting lineup, and
0:34
Speaker 1: the difficult task ahead for the Jaguars defense and containing
0:38
Speaker 1: the dynamic Ravens quarterback and defending NFL m v P
0:42
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Let's start with a rap of last week's
0:45
Speaker 1: lost to the Titans. In the final score and the
0:49
Speaker 1: league's leading rusher, Titans running back Derrick Henry ran for
0:52
Speaker 1: two hundred fifteen yards and two touchdowns and it could
0:55
Speaker 1: have been worse. We recapped the game Monday night on
0:57
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour with Pete Briscoe, Tony Basselli and Yours truly,
1:01
Speaker 1: and after going the first hour without Basselli, he jumped
1:05
Speaker 1: in to start our number two and guess what, pete,
1:08
Speaker 1: you owe me a drink to time? I do you
1:11
Speaker 1: are drink? You know what I think? I think BASSELLI
1:15
Speaker 1: was listening and he raced to get to his office
1:17
Speaker 1: so he would make me a loser that you wouldn't
1:22
Speaker 1: make it by five o'clock to me a break? Well,
1:26
Speaker 1: where were you? What? What? What hold you finish up
1:28
Speaker 1: on before you got out of here? It was for months?
1:37
Speaker 1: You were you? You played well? I hope because the
1:41
Speaker 1: old saw Grass and was at the stadium. Was it
1:43
Speaker 1: the valley? Where were you? We already we had to
1:47
Speaker 1: yanke in a couple into the woods by the way.
1:52
Speaker 1: People called in and sent me a couple of direct messages.
1:55
Speaker 1: They said that it was the best hour of this
1:57
Speaker 1: show they had in like a year. Messages as I
2:01
Speaker 1: was in this other event, saying where are you? It's
2:04
Speaker 1: a train wreck. They can't even carry the show. You
2:07
Speaker 1: were getting messages. Don't you know you're not supposed to
2:09
Speaker 1: have your your phone on on the golf course. I'm
2:11
Speaker 1: surprised that's allowed at Sawgrass, sir, This nuts shouldn't be
2:15
Speaker 1: phone is allowed. We've been we've been evaluating the mess
2:22
Speaker 1: that is oh, I was thinking about I was thinking
2:25
Speaker 1: about the uh, you know kind of the show today
2:28
Speaker 1: and what are you talking about? Because isn't it doesn't
2:31
Speaker 1: it feel like it's a little bit of the same
2:32
Speaker 1: story over and over again. And the only difference this
2:37
Speaker 1: week is instead of being close and like, okay, they
2:40
Speaker 1: had a chance, they never had. I mean from the
2:42
Speaker 1: middle of the second quarter on, it was over and
2:45
Speaker 1: as sooner. You can feel it on that drive where
2:48
Speaker 1: Derrick Kennery you got them about five times for seventy
2:51
Speaker 1: five yards right there, it was like, oh, this could
2:54
Speaker 1: get ugly, and you almost get the feeling you didn't
2:57
Speaker 1: get more ugly because Pete they didn't want too, because
3:00
Speaker 1: they it was thirty one three. They're like, hey, let's
3:02
Speaker 1: just get out of here, run the clock so we
3:04
Speaker 1: can go home without any injuries. That's and they took
3:07
Speaker 1: him out of the game, but then put him back
3:08
Speaker 1: in to get the two one. Well here's the other
3:12
Speaker 1: crazy thing. I bet you had fifty yards runs called
3:15
Speaker 1: back because of that's what we were saying earlier. But
3:19
Speaker 1: you know what, do you get one call back and
3:20
Speaker 1: then he just give it back to him and you
3:21
Speaker 1: go rip up another fifth, another loss for the Jags
3:25
Speaker 1: and now twelve in a row, and of course there
3:28
Speaker 1: is a large portion of the fan base that is
3:30
Speaker 1: only worried now with the draft order next year as
3:33
Speaker 1: it's it's currently, the Jaguars hold the number two overall picked,
3:37
Speaker 1: behind only the windless New York Jets. Linebacker Miles Jack
3:41
Speaker 1: met the media this week and said, even without social media,
3:45
Speaker 1: he can still hear the noise. You know, you hear it,
3:48
Speaker 1: Like you can't run from me, even like when you
3:49
Speaker 1: go out to the gas station and you know you're
3:51
Speaker 1: run into somebody. They're talking about Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields,
3:56
Speaker 1: the tight End from Florida, like Autumn, all those guys.
3:59
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't aren't run from it. Like it
4:01
Speaker 1: is what it is. And if you turn on ESPN
4:02
Speaker 1: you're gonna see it too. So obviously, like for me,
4:06
Speaker 1: like I'm like, na, heck no, I want to win
4:07
Speaker 1: these next three Folk Games and you know what I mean,
4:10
Speaker 1: blow all that, But um, I get it from a
4:13
Speaker 1: fan perspective, you know what I mean. But we're still
4:15
Speaker 1: out there fighting for our jobs, fighting for our livelihoods.
4:18
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, the NFL doesn't
4:20
Speaker 1: pay losers like they pay winners. So you win, you
4:23
Speaker 1: get rewarded. You lose, you know, it gets kind of ugly.
4:27
Speaker 1: So from our perspective, we're like, no, we're not. We're
4:30
Speaker 1: not going out there taking like if anybody's thinking that,
4:33
Speaker 1: we're not doing that. Like I promised more from Jack
4:36
Speaker 1: coming up shortly now to the change at quarterback for
4:39
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, Gardner minshe the second relief Mike Glennon in
4:42
Speaker 1: the third quarter last week, and then you will start
4:45
Speaker 1: this week's game against Baltimore. It's his first outing since
4:48
Speaker 1: Week seven against the Chargers, and as you would expect,
4:51
Speaker 1: he's fired up to be back, and I was like exciting,
4:54
Speaker 1: you know, ready to go. I mean I was already
4:56
Speaker 1: you know, going to the week. I was kind of
4:58
Speaker 1: expecting that, ready to roll. I'm just glad to be
5:00
Speaker 1: back in the saddle. I wouldn't say there's a ton
5:02
Speaker 1: of pressure right now. You know, I don't think anybody
5:04
Speaker 1: really expects much of a one and twelve team, but
5:07
Speaker 1: we expect a lot of ourselves. You know, we're gonna
5:08
Speaker 1: go out there, um trying not to that. You know,
5:10
Speaker 1: what's going on this season, determine what happens in these
5:13
Speaker 1: next three games. We're gonna try to have a lot
5:14
Speaker 1: of fun, make the most of them. Um, put some
5:16
Speaker 1: good stuff on tape. Head coach Doug Moron was asked
5:18
Speaker 1: Wednesday about his confidence level and putting the second year
5:22
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the lineup. Again, when you're a coach and
5:24
Speaker 1: you name someone that's gonna play and go in there,
5:26
Speaker 1: and you you put whoever on the field, I though,
5:28
Speaker 1: I think you're always gonna have full confidence. I don't
5:30
Speaker 1: think you're ever gonna get someone that's gonna say, well,
5:32
Speaker 1: we'll put him out there, And I got my fingers crossed. Gosh,
5:35
Speaker 1: I hope he doesn't, you know what I'm saying. So
5:37
Speaker 1: I think that you know, anyone that you're putting out
5:38
Speaker 1: there to do a certain assignment, whatever it may be,
5:41
Speaker 1: special teams, defense, offense, you know, you have to have
5:44
Speaker 1: that type of confidence in them. For offensive coordinator Jake Gruden,
5:47
Speaker 1: so many quarterback changes is not best for business. Now
5:51
Speaker 1: he's sitting meetings and people understand what we're talking about
5:54
Speaker 1: on a chalkboard and with the film projector, but when
5:56
Speaker 1: they get out their live how much is too much
5:58
Speaker 1: and what can they handle? What can they handle? So
6:01
Speaker 1: that's been the biggest challenge for me. You want to
6:03
Speaker 1: simplify some things, but you also want to try to
6:05
Speaker 1: have some creativity, some different formations and different concepts, but
6:08
Speaker 1: probably put too much on their plate, all of them.
6:10
Speaker 1: Trying to make sure these guys are comfortable. That's the
6:12
Speaker 1: number one thing with Gardner this week. But it has
6:14
Speaker 1: been quite the challenge to know what these guys are
6:16
Speaker 1: comfortable with and what they can execute. The full media
6:19
Speaker 1: availabilities are always available on the official team website Jaguars
6:24
Speaker 1: dot com. So now, with all three quarterbacks playing this
6:28
Speaker 1: year and six place kickers to go on top of
6:31
Speaker 1: all the other position groups that are banged up, the
6:33
Speaker 1: player count this year of players who have touched the
6:36
Speaker 1: field is an all time franchise high. Seventy nine players
6:40
Speaker 1: have played going into week fifteen, And I asked head
6:43
Speaker 1: coach Doug Moron about it to start off the Doug
6:45
Speaker 1: Moron Show Thursday night. All the changes on the roster,
6:49
Speaker 1: so many guys coming and go on either off I
6:52
Speaker 1: R or moving or getting moved off or whatever the
6:56
Speaker 1: deal is with these guys. And I'm I'm thinking the
6:58
Speaker 1: other day that seems like a lot of players, well,
7:01
Speaker 1: seventy nine different players have touched the field for you
7:04
Speaker 1: this year. It's the most in the league this year.
7:07
Speaker 1: It's a franchise record. And not only that, it's the
7:10
Speaker 1: second most players to play for a team in the
7:13
Speaker 1: NFL since at least Miami had eighty four guys last year.
7:18
Speaker 1: How do you handle all of that change all the
7:21
Speaker 1: time on the roster. It has to be difficult with
7:23
Speaker 1: guys coming and going. Yeah. I mean, I think for
7:26
Speaker 1: us as coaches individually, I think, you know, it's not
7:29
Speaker 1: as big of an issue. I haven't really thought about it,
7:33
Speaker 1: and it didn't even really JP hit me until, um, yesterday,
7:38
Speaker 1: I was talking to Killing Cole and and he's like,
7:44
Speaker 1: we were in a conversation and and something came up
7:46
Speaker 1: and Killing said to me, said, Coach, every time I
7:50
Speaker 1: come in here, it is a different guy next to
7:52
Speaker 1: me in the locker room. This is crazy, you know.
7:55
Speaker 1: And I was just like, hey, listen, you know, when
7:57
Speaker 1: you have injuries and you have things you need to
7:58
Speaker 1: bring people in and you try and you know, you're
8:00
Speaker 1: trying to win football games and you're trying to better
8:02
Speaker 1: the roster. These are the things that go on and
8:04
Speaker 1: you know it's different. You know, he've been here with
8:07
Speaker 1: us you know earlier where you know, when you're winning
8:10
Speaker 1: football games and everyone's playing at a high level, you know,
8:12
Speaker 1: I think the roster remains, you know, pretty much in
8:15
Speaker 1: tact I think you're always looking to build the build
8:17
Speaker 1: the roster and any you know, at any point you're
8:20
Speaker 1: in the season. But it's been interesting, to say the least,
8:23
Speaker 1: of all the changes and everything like that. But you know,
8:27
Speaker 1: between COVID, between injuries, between um, you know, not being
8:31
Speaker 1: able to perform well, not be able to win. I mean,
8:34
Speaker 1: you know, these are the things that happened, um in
8:36
Speaker 1: the league. I remember when um, when Jimmy Johnson first
8:39
Speaker 1: took over to Dallas Cowboys, you know, every week and
8:42
Speaker 1: I had friends on that team, and they would say
8:45
Speaker 1: every week, you know, they were working guys out every Monday.
8:48
Speaker 1: They would change in the roster constantly. You know. I
8:51
Speaker 1: think those are the things that you do. I think
8:54
Speaker 1: if you're not doing that, I think it gives a
8:56
Speaker 1: poor impression that you're not trying to get better. In fact,
9:00
Speaker 1: the Dolphins with eight four last year and the Jaguars
9:03
Speaker 1: was seventy nine this year. Their player totals are the
9:06
Speaker 1: two highest in a normal NFL regular season in league history,
9:10
Speaker 1: The seven replacement players season is the only other with
9:15
Speaker 1: skewed data that's a bit higher. The Doug Moron Show

Speaker 1: we return, Jags Right Guard A j Can provides the
9:24

10:34
Speaker 1: week on Jaguars All Access Television. Jaguars right guard A
10:38
Speaker 1: J can A J. Gardner Minshew back at starting quarterback
10:42
Speaker 1: this week and this is the team's fourth quarterback switch,
10:45
Speaker 1: three different quarterbacks. So for you at an offensive lineman,
10:49
Speaker 1: when you hear there is a change at quarterback, how
10:52
Speaker 1: does that change your routine that prepped throughout the week?
10:55
Speaker 1: Does it change it at all? You know? I think
10:57
Speaker 1: more so what changes like how you how you communicate
11:00
Speaker 1: with the quarterback, because the quarterback communicates different. Everybody sounds different, Uh,
11:04
Speaker 1: the cadence may be a little different. So that's, you know,
11:07
Speaker 1: probably the biggest thing to just to just making sure
11:10
Speaker 1: you're in tune with how they call that cadences and
11:13
Speaker 1: how they communicate. That's the biggest is that's the biggest
11:15
Speaker 1: you know change when you've got different quarterbacks rolling it out.
11:18
Speaker 1: You have been here from the start training camp. Remember
11:21
Speaker 1: we had just started talking about James Robinson and now
11:24
Speaker 1: you saw last week his one thousand yard miles stone
11:27
Speaker 1: and he stayed pretty consistent since training camp. And it
11:31
Speaker 1: is the typical you know, put your head down, grind
11:34
Speaker 1: and get success. But for you, you're closer than most
11:37
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. What has it been like seeing
11:39
Speaker 1: him through this entire journey of this season. You know,
11:42
Speaker 1: it's funny because you know, I get, you know, time
11:45
Speaker 1: every now and then to sit and chat with him,
11:47
Speaker 1: and uh, that's a cool kid. Man. Like you just said,
11:49
Speaker 1: he just keep his head down and go to work.
11:51
Speaker 1: Even when you're talking to him, you know, you just
11:53
Speaker 1: gotta and I gotta. I try to break on a
11:55
Speaker 1: little bit because you know he's quiet. You know, he
11:57
Speaker 1: don't say much. But you know that's in the in
11:59
Speaker 1: the league. Know that's a that's a kind of team.
12:01
Speaker 1: A lot of guys like Man, you know, just quiet,
12:03
Speaker 1: head down and go to work and you know, do
12:05
Speaker 1: what's acts of him. Man is a great dude, and
12:07
Speaker 1: everyone's been mentioning that even his teammates can't get much
12:11
Speaker 1: out of him, and he's pretty quiet with us as
12:13
Speaker 1: well with the media. Have you been able to shake
12:15
Speaker 1: him even a little bit? Oh yeah, man, I get
12:17
Speaker 1: I get him laughing and get him going a little bit,
12:19
Speaker 1: you know. I try to make him laugh at he
12:20
Speaker 1: does once. Once he opened up. He's a cool, cool
12:23
Speaker 1: ky He can laugh and you know, enjoy like like
12:26
Speaker 1: most of us. But that's just his person. Now. You know,
12:28
Speaker 1: he's quiet, but at the end of the day, you know,
12:31
Speaker 1: if you break him, he'd have a little fun. I
12:33
Speaker 1: love it all right. So we are getting ready for
12:36
Speaker 1: the holiday season a j and I know that you
12:39
Speaker 1: can relate to a lot of dads out there. You
12:41
Speaker 1: have two little ones at home and a newborn and
12:44
Speaker 1: a little girl. So how many dollhouses have we been building.
12:49
Speaker 1: What's been the vibe at home getting ready for the holidays? Well,
12:52
Speaker 1: like you know, we we're in a good pace now.
12:55
Speaker 1: She really can't ask for anything yet, so it's just
12:57
Speaker 1: like she she enjoyed just the things up and playing
13:01
Speaker 1: with boxes more than toy and stuff now, so I'm
13:04
Speaker 1: just trying to enjoy that a little more. Before she
13:05
Speaker 1: gets to the point where she sees something on TV
13:07
Speaker 1: and she was like I want that. I'm just trying
13:09
Speaker 1: to you know, I'm just trying to enjoy the femin
13:11
Speaker 1: time right now. Women to until we get to that point.
13:14
Speaker 1: So just a simple cardboard box. No Barbie dreamhouse or
13:17
Speaker 1: anything like that. Not yet, not not yet. You know.
13:19
Speaker 1: She she she plays one from town to town, but
13:22
Speaker 1: she she's not as interested as in it as she
13:24
Speaker 1: would be when she gets older. So I'm just trying
13:26
Speaker 1: to enjoy this process right now. I love it. A
13:29
Speaker 1: cheap version of Christmas, a cardboard box. J can thanks
13:33
Speaker 1: so much for joining. That's all she needs. Man entertained
13:37
Speaker 1: a two year old. Let's get to this week's matchup.
13:40
Speaker 1: The Jaguars are one and twelve and they'll try to
13:42
Speaker 1: snap a twelve game losing skin against the Baltimore Ravens.
13:46
Speaker 1: They're eight and five. The Ravens must win out to
13:48
Speaker 1: keep playoff hopes alive, and they got a huge win
13:51
Speaker 1: Monday night against the Browns, led by quarterback Labarn Jackson.
13:55
Speaker 1: He's as dynamic a playmaker as you'll find in the NFL.
13:58
Speaker 1: There are a lot of mobile quarterback these days, of course,
14:01
Speaker 1: but nobody has the home run ability with his legs
14:05
Speaker 1: like Jackson and it's a challenge for this. Jaguars defense
14:08
Speaker 1: coordinator Todd wash said, they've tried in practice this week
14:11
Speaker 1: to simulate it. We got a wide out playing quarterback,
14:14
Speaker 1: uh this week in practice. But at the same time,
14:17
Speaker 1: you know, we were joking. I said we should go
14:18
Speaker 1: and walk through mode and let the quarterback just play
14:21
Speaker 1: normal speed and then that's what it's gonna be like
14:23
Speaker 1: on Sunday because he is extremely fast. You know, he
14:26
Speaker 1: can hurt you. You know, it's supposed to be a
14:28
Speaker 1: drop back pass and he's gonna run for forty or fifty. So,
14:30
Speaker 1: but we we got a wide receiver playing quarterback for us,
14:34
Speaker 1: you know, giving us a real good look the first series.
14:36
Speaker 1: It's gonna be different because he plays at a totally
14:38
Speaker 1: different level than anybody else in this league. Wide receiver
14:41
Speaker 1: Terry Godwin was the guy until he was added to
14:44
Speaker 1: the reserve COVID nineteen lists, and then running back Nathan
14:47
Speaker 1: ConTroll and wide receiver Keelan Cole jumped in at the
14:50
Speaker 1: end of the week. According to Doug Marone, for some
14:53
Speaker 1: kind of look for the Jags defense. For veteran linebacker
14:56
Speaker 1: Miles jack He's never played Lamar Jackson in the regular season,
15:01
Speaker 1: and he said he's actually looking forward to seeing him
15:03
Speaker 1: in person. Just watching the games that he plays, you
15:06
Speaker 1: really just kind of gotta just just deal with him
15:09
Speaker 1: and and hope he decides to throw instead of run,
15:11
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And even when he throws,
15:13
Speaker 1: he can still make really good passes. So, I mean,
15:16
Speaker 1: he's a tough guy. He's he's very talented. M v P.
15:19
Speaker 1: Every time you turn on Madden you see him, So
15:21
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's the real deal, you know, And
15:24
Speaker 1: he's definitely gonna be a challenge for us this week.
15:25
Speaker 1: I'm excited to finally play against him in real life
15:28
Speaker 1: and just watching him do his thing in college and
15:30
Speaker 1: we went up to the preseason and play him when
15:32
Speaker 1: he was young. But I'm definitely excited to see, you know,
15:35
Speaker 1: see it in person and play against him. Be careful
15:38
Speaker 1: what you wish for. I'm Jaguar's Happy Hour. Wednesday afternoon,
15:41
Speaker 1: NFL network analysts Bucky Brooks, senior writer John Oser and
15:45
Speaker 1: I took a closer look at what the Ravens offense
15:48
Speaker 1: is all about, plus more changes in the Jaguars secondary.
15:52
Speaker 1: I think here's the thing that you have to understand
15:53
Speaker 1: when you're dealing with the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson.
15:57
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is at his best. We can talk about
15:59
Speaker 1: him being a dynam mcrunner. They basically are running the
16:01
Speaker 1: single wing. They want to put it in his hands
16:03
Speaker 1: as a runner. Tend to twelve times and allow him
16:06
Speaker 1: to impact and influence the defense because when they begin
16:09
Speaker 1: to chase him, that's when they handed off to mark Ingram.
16:11
Speaker 1: Because Edwards J. K. Dobbin doesn't have a lot of
16:13
Speaker 1: success in the passing game, it is really important for
16:16
Speaker 1: the Jaguars to jam the middle of the field. Lamar
16:19
Speaker 1: Jackson is at his best throwing inside the numbers. If
16:22
Speaker 1: you can force him to throw the ball to the
16:24
Speaker 1: boundary outside and down the field. He struggles in that
16:28
Speaker 1: area going all the way back to Louisville. That has
16:30
Speaker 1: been his Achilles uh tendon and so that's been his
16:33
Speaker 1: Achilles hills. So you have to play them in a
16:36
Speaker 1: specific way because the Jaguars play a single hot defense.
16:39
Speaker 1: That could work in their favor. But now it's about
16:42
Speaker 1: can you execute the game plan because they don't know
16:44
Speaker 1: what to do, but can they get it done? That
16:46
Speaker 1: is what Todd Watch has to figure out. So the
16:49
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense is well walking wounded to begin with. We've
16:53
Speaker 1: talked about this over the last few weeks. John, It
16:56
Speaker 1: is a challenge every week, but against the group like this,
17:00
Speaker 1: it just becomes more and more challenging as the weeks
17:02
Speaker 1: go on, especially when you're losing players. Yeah, I'm not
17:05
Speaker 1: sure how much more there is to analyze when you
17:08
Speaker 1: think about it in this way, losing Trey Herndon, the
17:11
Speaker 1: good news is it sounds like you're getting Clay Brooks back,
17:14
Speaker 1: so you're not down ridiculously at the cornerback position. They're
17:18
Speaker 1: already down so far. I don't know that there's a
17:20
Speaker 1: huge talent drop off anymore when they lose guys because
17:23
Speaker 1: they're plugging guys in. Not in the case of Trey Herndon,
17:26
Speaker 1: but a lot of times you're plugging rookie free agent
17:29
Speaker 1: in for rookie free agent now. So unless you lose
17:32
Speaker 1: Miles Jack, unless you lose you know, Shobert, I don't
17:36
Speaker 1: know that you're losing anything you can't replace because it's
17:39
Speaker 1: such a struggle. They're working so hard, they're playing so hard.
17:43
Speaker 1: If you've got to give them credit, the key is
17:46
Speaker 1: can try hard beat the Ravens and you know try
17:50
Speaker 1: hard has faded in the fourth quarter and earlier the
17:53
Speaker 1: last two or three weeks. I'm not sure if x
17:57
Speaker 1: Is and O's breakdown can say much more than what
17:59
Speaker 1: I just said. They're depleted, and you wonder how long
18:02
Speaker 1: they could hold up against an offensive talented as the
18:04
Speaker 1: raven But Jacks have had ten different starting lineup combinations
18:07
Speaker 1: in the secondary alone this year, and it could be
18:11
Speaker 1: eleven this week. And Jaguars Happy Hour airs Monday, Wednesday
18:14
Speaker 1: and Thursday afternoon at four on Jack's social channels. The
18:18
Speaker 1: Monday and Thursday shows also on Tin ten Am radio
18:21
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. Now to Jack's Right Time. Thursday morning, Ashlyn Sullivan,
18:26
Speaker 1: John Oser, and Brian Sexton caught up with Ravens digital
18:28
Speaker 1: reporter Garrett Downing for a closer look at Lamar Jackson
18:32
Speaker 1: and what to expect with the Jags facing a couple
18:34
Speaker 1: of familiar players on the Ravens defense. Garrett, there was
18:38
Speaker 1: obviously a huge spotlight on Lamar Jackson and and he
18:41
Speaker 1: obviously handles that well. But I'm wondering through a difficult
18:46
Speaker 1: season with the COVID stuff, with everything going on, it
18:49
Speaker 1: seems like Lamar's getting back to being Lamar, is that
18:53
Speaker 1: the way you read it, and you know what's his
18:56
Speaker 1: mindset right now going into this final push. I think
18:58
Speaker 1: that's a good observation. Lamar talked about how when he
19:01
Speaker 1: went on the COVID list, missed the game against Pittsburgh
19:05
Speaker 1: and then returned, how that whole experience for him basically
19:09
Speaker 1: served as a bit of a reset that he felt
19:12
Speaker 1: like when he returned, he realized how much he missed
19:15
Speaker 1: the game, how much he missed being around his teammates,
19:18
Speaker 1: and just how eager he was to come back and
19:20
Speaker 1: just play. I think that it rejuvenated him to a
19:23
Speaker 1: certain extent. I know it sounds strange to say that
19:25
Speaker 1: that going on the COVID list could could be a
19:27
Speaker 1: way to rejuvenate you, but I think that this is
19:30
Speaker 1: a guy who's been in the spotlight so much since
19:33
Speaker 1: the end of last season that to to kind of
19:35
Speaker 1: get a break reset and then come back and uh
19:39
Speaker 1: kind of being a back against the wall mentality where
19:41
Speaker 1: the Ravens have to likely went out to make the playoffs,
19:44
Speaker 1: I think that serves him well. Um And and he
19:46
Speaker 1: has said that he does feel a little bit rejuvenated,
19:49
Speaker 1: UM refocused, and he's played. He played probably his best
19:53
Speaker 1: game of the season overall on Monday night, and he
19:56
Speaker 1: looks really good since returning. Yes, we've talked about all week.
19:59
Speaker 1: The war has one defense bets her be on point
20:02
Speaker 1: and Garrett, it's a it's a storyline down here in Jacksonville,
20:05
Speaker 1: and I'm wondering if it is up there for Kalaias
20:08
Speaker 1: Campbell in Unique and Gaka the return of playing Jacksonville
20:13
Speaker 1: for those two guys. Have you heard anything about it?
20:15
Speaker 1: Are you guys talking about it? Or is that just
20:17
Speaker 1: as kind of overhyping it like reporters sometimes do. No,
20:21
Speaker 1: I mean I think that there's certainly excitement for those
20:23
Speaker 1: two guys. Haven't had a chance to talk with Yunique,
20:25
Speaker 1: but did talk with Calais yesterday. He downplayed it a
20:28
Speaker 1: little bit. You guys know Klaius, you know I'm no
20:31
Speaker 1: surprised that not he he didn't make too big of
20:33
Speaker 1: a deal of it. But I think that whenever a
20:36
Speaker 1: player goes up against the former team, there's motivation there um,
20:40
Speaker 1: there's there's you want to prove something. We've seen that
20:44
Speaker 1: time and time again with players going up against former teams.
20:47
Speaker 1: I mean, one that stands out to me of all
20:48
Speaker 1: time was when Steve Smith game in Baltimore and played
20:51
Speaker 1: Carolina and he had a stellar game and delivered some
20:55
Speaker 1: Steve Smiths quotes after that game in the way he
20:59
Speaker 1: could you know, Calais basically said yesterday, he's got a
21:02
Speaker 1: lot of friends, uh in Jacksonville. Still keeps up with
21:05
Speaker 1: a lot of people there, um, And so there's gonna be,
21:09
Speaker 1: you know, some fun kind of trash talk back and
21:11
Speaker 1: forth over the course of the game. But I'm sure
21:13
Speaker 1: once those two guys get into that environment, they're going
21:16
Speaker 1: to be wanting to prove something. It's only natural, and
21:18
Speaker 1: so I think that I don't think that's necessarily the
21:22
Speaker 1: main focus by any means for the Ravens, but for
21:25
Speaker 1: those two guys, I think that this game is no question,
21:29
Speaker 1: gonna mean a lot. Jack's Drive Time Monday, Wednesday, Thursday
