  Speaker 1: Drive Time right and sex stextra Jo Actually, Jeff Warris,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Drive Time starts right now. It's basically it's just gonna
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: be then result you get it done. It you don't
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: get it done. If it's not good enough for the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: people who work for then hey, they're gonna let you go.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, we all know that nothing to hold your
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: head down about. It's nothing to feel bad about. You know,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: It's like anything else. And I walk around here, I'm
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: it's embarrassing, it's frustrating, you know, But at the end
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: of the day, there's got to be leadership somewhere. You know,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: someone's gotta step up, someone's got to go and lead.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I love this place. I love Jacksonville.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: It's my home. I plan on being here for a while,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: meaning in the city. And uh, I'm never gonna drop
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: my head. I'm I'm working my butt off to do
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the best job I can. And I think as long
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: as you can do that and you don't sulky excuses
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: or anything, you know, I looked myself in the mirror
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and know that I did everything I can and and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: that you know what, that's fine. Um, I'll always be
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: disappointed with the results, but that's just the way it is.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I I love that Doug took that question, and the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: question was pointed, are are you going to be back
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: next year? Because when you hit a losing street, especially
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: with the expectations that a team has, that's a fair question.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: And in this league, every player knows that's what it's about.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: We put it at the top of the show today.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: It's kind of theater of the absurd there, because there
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: is no way any of us thought we would hear
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: anything even remotely close to that kind of a question
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: or answer in a Doug Morone press conference this year.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: We thought maybe we'd be talking about you gonna set
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: some starters here in the next couple of weeks. And
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I had someone say to me this morning, did he
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: really get a question about his job? And I said, well,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: it's not a surprise to heet them the first time
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: this has happened, if you've been around this game. And
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and Nate Hackett said that he was surprised on Monday,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and I don't doubt that he was surprised. However, he
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: under hand to the business all of them do. Yesterday
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Blake Bortles understood the questions that were coming and just
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I love the way he handled it. And we'll have
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: it for you in a couple of minutes, which is
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't play well enough. Bottom line, put it on himself,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: just like Doug isn't putting on himself the entire week.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: It's it's it's about the bottom line. It's what you
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: get done, and they weren't getting it done. They've got
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to do something. So good morning, Welcome to Jack's Drive Time,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: brought to you by the Fields Auto Group. I want
• 2:27

• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Okay back to football where highly distracted. Yeah, well and
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: right now this team needs it, to be honest with you.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: The team may not, but people who work around the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: team absolutely. I had again someone called me this morning.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: We were chatting about this and how difficult is it. Oh,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: it's tough. But every morning here on drive time, we
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: endeavor to tell the story in a complete, truthful manner
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and we will do so every single week, win or lose.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: So let's start with big things. Yes, big thing one
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: is the man. There are two man's this week, two man's,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: two men. Yeah, you're right, though, the man and the man. Right,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: there are two of the man. Right, we're talking about
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the man in Jacksonville for breaks to the man's who
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: needs it in journalism grammar. Anyhow, the man in jackson
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: this week is Cody Kessler himself. We saw yesterday and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: speaking the locker room for the first time, we saw
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: him on the practice s Fiel getting first team reps
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: for the first time. We hear from him about what
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: he's feeling this week. A lot of pressure on his shoulders. Yeah,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I mean as a competitor, obviously, you know, excited and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and you know it's tough to get opportunities in this
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: league and to have one. Um, you know, obviously I'm
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: very excited and um, but yeah, I mean we've had
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a close quarterback rooms obviously. When when things happen like that,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: it's part of the business. But at the same time
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: it's a little rough. But yeah, I mean just just
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: moving forward. I'm excited to it is. It's a big
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: opportunity for me this week and um, hopefully get the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: guy's rally around me and kind of turn this thing around.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: So um, yeah, I'm really look forward to it, you know. So, um,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the fantasy here if you're a Jaguars fan is that
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Cody Kessler gets his chance. Now, the comparison is going
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: to sound preposterous to you, um, but not too long ago,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: there was a former second round pick of the San
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Diego Chargers who was a starter for them, but they
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: didn't think he was it enough, and so they drafted
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Philip Rivers and Drew Brees went somewhere and built a career.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Now that's a Hall of Fame career. This year, it
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: looks like the good quite his second second chance of
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl has got one seventy thousand passing yards.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to suggest that Cody Kessler is the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: next Drew Brees, but what if Cody Kessler right plays well.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I don't care, Yeah I do care, But but if
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: if he plays well, that is a win for this
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: team because it means they can go into next season
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: knowing they've got a guy they can count on while
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a rookie, because I fully expect they're drafting someone a
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: rookie can come along at at a measured pace. They
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: don't have to rush them in. Right, Patrick Mahomes didn't
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: play as a rookie. Baker Mayfield is playing as a rookie.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: He goes to it. But if you have a guy
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: with the defense that you've got and the running game
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: that you've got, you can compete much quicker than if
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you have to take a big step back with a
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, right and just hope that they can catch up.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: So fantasy here is is that the guy comes in
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and plays well, that he's a guy who was waiting
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: for his turn. And again that's where Breeze was just
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: waiting for return as he hit his free agency years
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: back in the mid two thousands and he became a star. Well,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: we don't even star, but if you get a good
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: performance by him, that would be big. And the reason
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: that I chose Drew Brees was because they're about the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: same size, right, I mean, you look at quarterbacks these days,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: you'll give a big guy Josh Allen. You think, WHOA,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: that's a quarterback. Quite the difference this guy might be too. Yeah,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and you see Cody and Blake sit next to each
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: other and you see the difference in their size. But
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: what I'm most impressed about with Cody the entire season
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: has been his confidence. Every single week, He's prepared like
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: a starter. He said it all season long. We talked
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: to him back in August in the preseason saying that
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: he wanted a chance here and that he had a
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: great relationship with Blake, but he was here to play quarterback.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: And he has been confident this entire year that he
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: wanted a chance. And again, maybe the opportunity is all
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: he needs to show that he is capable of being
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a starter in this league. We'll find out for the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Jaguars that what they need is a guy who can
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: play well at the end of the season and pull
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: this team out of the losing streak. Um. We mentioned
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: that Blake talked in the locker room yesterday. Hey, that's big.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: By the way, he didn't have to come out and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: talk um. He could have easily just said, no, I'm
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: not the starter. I'm not required by the league to
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: talk anymore, forget it. So just an appreciation for who
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: he's been with the media. And there's a lot of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: people who cares, you know, he stinks, get rid of him. Um.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: But if you went and talk to all the members
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: of the media down there when he leaves every week,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: they all they're grateful that he was here because he
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: stands there and answers the questions. He's candid as can be.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: And yesterday, well let's run the sound bite and you'll
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: see for yourself what we're talking about. Yeah, he's awesome.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: UM was with him, you know obviously all last year
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and this year. UM. Super intelligent guys. Smart. Uh kind
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: of has a different perspective of things, you know, I
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: think being in Canada and playing you know, kind of
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a different style of football as well as you know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: everything he's done, um in the NFL as a player
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and you know, as a coach here in America. So
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I think it's cool that he's got you know, the
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: background of the CFL and some different and so it's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: exciting to see um, you know, watching him working him
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: put together to plan with the rest of the coaches.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: UM and obviously installed it for the first time. The
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: first time any of us had heard him, you know,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: be the guy up in the front and presenting, and
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: you know, he did an unbelievable job today, so it'll
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: be uh. I think it's exciting to watch him. So
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: he's talking about the new play caller, Scott Milanovitch, who
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: has been his quarterbacks coach since the start of Seen.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: But you could easily imagine another high profile player who
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: had been benched standing there, maybe with his hoodie up. Yeah.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Uh huh oh. It would not have gone like that. No, no, no,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: it would not have. And there he is offering, as
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: one man to another, a candid appreciation of who Scott
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Milanovich is and giving him a vote of confidence. You
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: just hope that your sons and daughters, if they're ever
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: facing the kind of adversity that he's faced, that you've
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: raised your kids to be able to stand there, look
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: people in the eye and give an honest answer, and
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: to be able to be magnanimous, to be able to
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: be uh generous with your words and not think about yourself.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a selfless act for him to
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: come in there yesterday and do that, and more people
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: should appreciate the man that Blake borders is even if
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: you don't think the quarterback is deserving of your respect. Absolutely,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: it was impressive. And it's also we know how close
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: him and Nathaniel Hackett are as friends as co workers,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: offensive corner to quarterback. So for him and then go
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and praise Scott Milanovich after Nathaniel Hacket gets let go
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: on Friday also or Monday, says a lot about him
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: because they've been so close his entire career. Well, and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: so you can't see this like we do. We're on
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the sidelines during the game, and to see the two
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: guys when they're sitting there when things aren't good and
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: they're they're looking into the surface right that they're watching place,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: or when he comes off the field and they are good.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: The way that those two men built a relationship, it's
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the kind of relationship of friendship that will go beyond football. Uh.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: And again for Blake to stand there and we can't
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: show you his whole press conference, you can go see
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: that on Jaguars dot com um and have again kind
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: things to say and praise and support for his friend
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: who was fired. Um. Again, it was a selfless gesture
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: to come and talk to the media. No excuses about
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: his performance either, which I thought was huge. So here
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: comes Kessler and people are excited about that. They've called
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: for that. You've got it now. Um, and I said
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: on Monday, be careful what you wish for, because you're
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: gonna put him out there now behind a backup offensive
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: line and a beat up offensive line because the two
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: starters who are still there, Ken and Jeremy, are not healthy.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: They've been on the injury report most of the year.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: You don't have the tight end, you don't have the
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: star running back. But good for Cody to get his chance.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: And as he said yesterday, opportunity tough in this league.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: It's really difficult in this league. Here it is, here's
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: his opportunity to show this league that he belongs as
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: a starting quarterback. Um, good luck to him. It's not
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: gonna be easy with all those weapons missing. But oh,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: it's not a great opportunity. But he gets his chance,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and he does have a good arm. Deedie Westbrook stood
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: and said, the kid has a cannon for an arm.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: All right, let's see it. Looking forward to it. All right, now,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: let's go to them. A man in Indianapolis, the Indianapolis
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Colts Andrew Luck unique and gok Way discusses what is
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: gonna be like trying to get to him on Sunday.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: It's got to be effective and take events all your rushes,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: you know, being a defensive end in this league, that's
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: what you gotta do. Is it more about hands up
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: when the guy gets rid of the ball so quickly,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: being a man in front of you, you know what
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I mean? Of course short those and things of that nature,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: But you wanted to beat the man in front of
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: you and try to affect the quarterback as much as possible.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: So I'm looking for the numbers here, um, but they
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: don't tell the whole story on just how good Andrew
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Luck has been. He has thrown three or more touchdown
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: passes in seven straight games, they've won five in a row. Um.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Here's his his stat line completion thirty two touchdowns, eleven interceptions.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: He's been sacked once in the last seven games. That
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: was last week. Is passer rating one or two point seven? Look,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: he was the first overall picking the draft in two
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: thousand and twelve. He was great before he got hurt.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I wasn't sure. I don't think. I don't think people
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: in indeed knew what they were getting, and yet the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: offensive line that they have built up there has given
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: him time to throw. And you see a play that
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Calais Campbell said had genius, had football genius in him yesterday.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah he is. And we talked about what the Jaguars,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: while moving forward, want to get. They want to get
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: someone like that who they don't have a ton of
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: star offensive power on their side of the ball. But
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: yet Andrew Luck. I remember when we played them three
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: weeks ago, and he threw all those tight ends and
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: just cut up the Jaguars defense. He made everyone on
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: offense look like a star. Well, and last year Jalen
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: didn't have much trouble with t Y Hilton because Andrew
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Luck wasn't out there. And Jalen did a good job
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: on t Y Hilton in the second half last week.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: But he got free on that thirty two yard or
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Luck does that he currently he creates those opportunities. Do
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: you know how the Colts have had this dynasty of
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks and and this is something that you just have
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: to appreciate. They were the worst team in the league.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: They got the number one draft choice and Peyton Manning
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: was the prize right now talk about luck. In two
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: thousand and eleven, they were the worst team in football.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Manning was on the sideline with the neck injury. His
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: time there was over the prize Andrew Luck. They did
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the whole suck for Luck thing that really have to
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: suck at the right time. UM. I don't know whether
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: this is the right time to just appreciate the fact that, UM, well,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: there's going to be a benefit to losing UM. No
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: one wants to lose that. The guys in the locker
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: room hope they don't keep losing UM. But there will
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: be some quarterbacks. There may not be and Andrew Luck,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: maybe justin Herbert's that guy. Maybe Daniel Jones, a duke
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: rises or Will Greer at West Virginia kind of like
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Carson Wentz did a few years ago. Maybe there's a
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: guy sitting right there. There will be some names, and
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: we can talk about that in the spring. But the
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Colts got lucky in that they sucked when they need
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: when you needed to suck. And Andrew Luck is back
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: and they're back, and their defense, and I've told you
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: their defense is there's just not a lot of talent
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. Two players that stand out,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Darius Leonard, the rookie from South Carolina State, and Mali
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Cooker their top pick from Ohio State. But when you
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: got a quarterback putting up touchdown pass after touchdown pass,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: you don't have to be great, you just have to
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: be good. Yeah, the Colts defense gave up over four
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: yards the Jib's offense and still won the game. And
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: your lucky. He is the man and his name has
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: lit off people's radar. It's back in a really big way.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: We were just watching Good Morning Football before the show
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and they were talking about him being the m v
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: P of this season. Well, if the Colts make the playoffs,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: no doubt in my mind he's a guy because last
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: year they were embarrassment, right, they were awful, and now
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: they're not. And that's what a great quarterback does. Let's
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: hear what Klais Campbell has to say about the man.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: He's such a talented quarterback when it comes don like
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: knowing when he has time and when he can hold
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: the ball and when he needs to get rid of it,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and he gets rid of it so like the majority
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: of the time. So then when he does actually an
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: oppoling it, it's like, oh, man, you just so the
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: kids just to keep rushing and they keep just trying
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: to win. And when he actually does hold it, that's
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: when you come home. Yeah, that's when you come come home.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: It'll be tough if they don't have Jalen on Sunday.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: He's out a knee, and Doug said yesterday that there's
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: something wrong there. It's it's not just a little sore nous.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Uh Den did elaborate obviously, But you got two games
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: coming up in eight days, Jaguars playing next Thursday night Nashville,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: So don't know whether we'll see him this week or not.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: But when you don't have Jalen Ramsey, even as poorly
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: as he played in the first half, well, I think
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I said yesterday I anticipated him coming out and having
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: a redemption game, that we would see it and you
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: might still. I mean, Jalen has has not practiced during
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: the week and still played. He's that kind of a guy.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: He's one of the few guys in this game who
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: can have a week of practice and not and not
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: miss a game. I'm sorry, not practice and play however
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: you want to say that. So all right, moving right along,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the men. The Jags defensive
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: line against that huge Colts offensive line that has been
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: so successful this season. We just said that Angela has
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: only been sacked once. Quentin Nelson, we saw him against
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the Jags. He was unreal. Let's see what Klais Campbell
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: has to say about that offensive line. I think that
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: it really starts with them being more physical in the
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: run game. And then when you respect that, you know,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: then it just opens up to play action and the
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: ability to uh do drive back and all falls into it.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: And but I'm looking forward to the chance. And I mean,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: there are a great officive line, you know, but I'm
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: looking forward and trying to just wreck havoc in there.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Hard to do, you know, from the very early going
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: in that game last month, you were I was dazzled
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: by the movement in the offensive line. What Nelson looks like,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: John Hannah, he looks like an all timer, and he's
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: just a rookie. In fact, I've heard his name mentioned
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: his offensive Rookie of the Year. And if Andrew luck
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: is a m VP candidate, well then there's no doubt
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: in my mind. And Nelson, but the way they were
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: getting out and pulling and getting in front of screens
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and draws. Uh. They are talented as all get out,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: and so this defensive line really has their hands full.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm sure they had an appreciation for
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: how much better they were playing, but I don't know
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: if they appreciated just how athletic they were until they
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: got on the field at Lucas Oil Stadium. I expect
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: him play much better, although I mean talk about strength
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: on strength, Yeah, I mean the Jaguars defensive line is
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: its strength and the Colts offensive line is its strength.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: A year ago, at this time, uh, two years ago,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: at this time, Andrew Luck had been sacked something like
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: forty times. We weren't talking about it then, and only
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: eleven and most of those were in the first starting
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: six games of the year when they began one in five.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: They are killing it right now. So this is the
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: matchup on Sunday. The Jags defensive line can create some
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: havoc in the middle, They've got a good chance to win.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: If they don't. Andrew Luck stands in the pocket watch
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: even if Jalen plays, he isn't. That's a problem. Although
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: they will have a j boy A back and that'll
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: be a good thing. That'll help he's playing at a
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: high level. Okay, well that'll do it for a big
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: thing one, two and three. And as we take this break,
• 19:55

  Speaker 1: Welcome back to Jack's Drive Time Thursday morning, brought to
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: you by Fields Auto Group. We now welcome in Caroline can,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: reporter and host for Indianapolis Colts dot com. We spoke
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: to her three weeks ago when the Colts were rolling,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: and they are still rolling, Caroline, five game winning streak. Yeah,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: it has been a good past couple of weeks for
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Cold Awesome. The offensive line is what we
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: keep talking about here, Carolyn. When did you see that
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: this line was going to gel and play consistently together.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Did you see it in the preseason games or did
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: not come till they started winning? You know, it really,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: as cliche as it sounds, it really didn't start in
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: training camp because you know, at training camp you live
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: and you breathe practice um, and we would get to
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: the practice field earlier than the players would, but we
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: never seemed to be able to beat the offensive line there. Um.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: You know, they were there a good thirty forty five
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: minutes before team would be and they were just stretching,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: going through drills, kind of learning the different um warm up. Uh,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: you know, systems that their coach wanted them to do.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Dave de Giuliano and that's one thing that he said,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: now that they are starting to gell, He's like, this
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: didn't happen overnight, you know, this is something that we
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: started back in training camp to now. But of course
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: when they started to get really the Jet game, um,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: is when you kind of started to notice, like, wait
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: a minute, they're they're not just jelling, They're really starting
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: to click and you're seeing that spill over in the
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: run game starting to get going, Andrew Luck having more
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: time in the pocket. Um. It was really that New
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: England and Jets game in week five and six when
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: you really started to see that all of those hours
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: from training camp started to started to work for that group.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: So I'm curious what kind of guy Quintin Nelson is
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: because he plays the game like he kicked his dog
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: when he left the house in the morning and choose
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: some glass and swallowed some nails. I mean, he plays
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: like an old school, nasty kind of guy. Um. Is
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: he the kind of guy in the locker room that
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: you kind of just steer clear of. Absolutely not he is.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: He is actually a player that you know as as
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: a female who has never played the game, um of football.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: But I've been around in my whole life. I know
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of the terminology. UM. And so when you
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: ask a player, you know they're gonna say, oh, overstepped
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: my pass set. Well, I you know, I always go
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: to Quintin and I'm like, what did you mean by that? Um?
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: And he's always always takes the time to explain it. Um.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: He'll even kind of step back and show me, like, well,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: this is what I mean, you know, instead of just
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: telling me. He is dreamly kind and it you know,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: takes the time out to answer questions and is always available. Um.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: But he's always just very even kill. And I will
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: say in the locker room, he doesn't get too hyped up.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: He doesn't, you know, he never looks looks any different.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: He's just always even killed Quintin Nelson. Uh. And then
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: he puts on that helmet and and you're right, you
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: do see a different side of Oh yeah. Hey, I've
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: done this for twenty five years and I have never
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: ever talked about a guard as an offensive Rookie of
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the Year candidate. But it's clear with his mobility, with
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: his toughness, with his intellect, with his his strength and quickness, uh,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: that he is the heartbeat of that offensive line in
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: his first eleven professional games, and he's fun to watch
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: when you see him out there, when you see fifty six,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: you think he's gonna do something. And you know what, Caroline,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: to make the comparison when Tony Basselli was here as
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: the best left tackle in football before your time, but
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: but you know that the name. Yeah, they used to
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: bring a camera on Monday Night football and they would
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: have an extra camera just for Tony Biselli's matchups with
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: some of the best pass rushers in the game. I
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: don't see it as being a stretch that next year
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: you will see crews come in and bring a camera
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: just to put on the middle of the offensive line
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: so that they can show people what a dominant player
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: he is. It's been fun to watch that whole offensive
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: line that they love to pull. They love the run
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: players where they can show off their strength a little
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: bit and get those blots, you know, five ten yards
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: sometimes fifteen yards down the field, which is just something
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: that it's exciting to see. It's it's the second level
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: of the game where you can kind of just watch
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: the offensive line and see what they're gonna do. Carolina
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: tight ends were a huge problem for the Jags three
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: weeks ago, Jack Doyle eric Ebron, is that something you've
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: seen all season? Them cutting up defenses with every game
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: they play. Yeah, this was the point of emphasis when
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Frank Click and Nick Sirianni took over this offense was
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: we want to use the tight ends as pass catchers
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: as much as we can to get that this match
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: um against defenses. And we've seen that all year so
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: far of Eric Ebron. He may not get a ton
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: of snaps, but when he's in the game, he's very
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: very effective. Obviously he's up there not just with tight
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: ends but as all pass catchers for touchdown passes on
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: the season. And then Jack Doyle was unfortunately was moved
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: to i R this week, a big blow to the
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Colts offense. But he was that steady player, steady Eddie,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: one of Andrew Like's favorite targets. So it was one
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: of those where you knew the potential was there. But
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Eric Ebron coming in was this unknown player to Colts
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: fans and what he had done in Detroit, people just
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: had some question marks. But we all know now the
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: type of player that Eric Ebron is um and he's
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: now going to be asked with Jack Doyle on I
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: R too to maybe step up a little bit. See
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: will will we see his role change? We don't know, um,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: but it will certainly be a different dynamic knowing that
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Jack Doyle not only is he hurt, but he's not
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: going to be returning. Tell us about Frank Reich, we
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: know him from his days in Philadelphia, and obviously he
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: was the cold second cho man. What a choice right
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: to have all that go down in the spring with
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels and and that's a nightmare for a football
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: team to have to kind of pull yourself back and
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: dust yourself off. They landed with the guy that probably
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: should have been their first choice. Huh Yeah, Coach Reich
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: was the right choice. Uh that That's kind of what
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: it comes down to is he's been nothing but amazing
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: for this organization. As soon as he came into the building.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I think an interesting part was, you know, Frank Reich
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: said he wasn't looking while the the Eagles were on
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: their you know, run for the Super Bowl. He wasn't looking,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: and so when the time was right, he became the choice. Um.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: And ever since he came in, you know, everyone's been
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: very excited about about what him, uh, Nick Sirianni and
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Andrew Luck we're gonna be able to do with this offense.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: We're starting to see that take off. And I asked him,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: you know, what's the difference between this team now and
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the team that we watched start one and five on
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: the season, And he said, you know, it's just the
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: belief that we were new here and we had them,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: you know, systems and some thoughts and some ideas that
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: we had to get everyone to a hundred percent buy into,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: and they're really starting to believe those things. And so
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: he believes that's the biggest reason why you're seeing this
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: young team all of a sudden, you know, be able
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: to rip off five wins. Caroline, when we talked a
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: few weeks ago before the Jaguars and Colts game, you said,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: this is the statement game for the Colts to really
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: show America that they're here for real. Is playoffs on
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: everyone's mind now in Indianapolis with this five game winning streak, Oh,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: come on, you know that that's that's the only thing
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: anyone ever thinks about, is you get any type of win. Um, Absolutely,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the playoffs or what people thinking about, what the team
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: is thinking. But I think what's been really interesting. And
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: you know, we hear the coaching cliches, and you know,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: you'll hear the players kind of echo what the coaches
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: will say, and it's one week and at a time.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: But I felt it's kind of just joked around with
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the players. Now afterwards, I'm like, let me guess, is
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: it just to finish this week? Want to know? And
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: they laugh and they're like, I know you want more,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: but that really is also we talk about, is we
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: need to finish this week? I want to know, and
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: then the next week it's going to be the same thing.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: And that's been their focus. And I think they've gotten
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: to the point, like Frank Craig said, where they believe
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: that that is genuinely the best way to be able
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: to get to the playoffs and get to where they
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: want to be. But yeah, you better believe that this team.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Every player in the NFL wants to make sure that
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: that their team gets back in the playoffs. Well, you know,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: we talked to Andrew Walker, your your co worker up
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: there back in August, and we were just talking in generality,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: is getting a preview of the team, and I asked him,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: I said, with Andrew Luck coming back and some confidence
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: in him. Are you thinking about the playoffs this year?
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: And he said no, he said, we can't at this
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: point because they're the way that last season went. You know,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: there's some young talent were excited. The defense needs work,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: so to be where you are has got to be
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: an immense amount of fun. And and do you sense
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: that on the part of the players, Even though they
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: won't give you more caroline, you have to see it
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: in their eyes. They've got to be more willing to
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: stand there and talk, more friendly in that sense. It's
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: a perfect timing for it, absolutely. And I think two
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: with this team, they're just so young. A lot of
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: what we saw at the beginning of the year and
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: training camp was was just a little bit of wide eyed,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, like I'm in the NFL, and and
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: it was a little bit on the coaching side, you know,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: they talked about just managing expectations and managing their excitement
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: to where now it's like, oh, this is what it's like,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: and it's it's you know, the game is starting to
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: slow down for these players and when they don't feel
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: quite as overwhelmed and they get to feel comfortable. Of course,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: there's more excitement in the locker room. I love talking
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: to our linebackers because right now they're in a very
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: heated and public uh competition to who has the better
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: turnover and when when that is what you're talking about
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: in the locker room, not just that we want a turnover,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: but our defense has been able to turn the ball
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: over and every single game this season, so they're starting
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: to talk about no, no no, mine was better. No no, no, no,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: it was mine, like mine was better. When those are
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: the types of discussions that you're hearing in the locker room,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: and you know, the conversations between players. Yes, you know,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: it is very different and maybe not what you expected
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season when when there were
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: some managing of expectations. But now it's hey, um, you're
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: actually right at the door knocking on the playoffs, so
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: let's stay here and continue our way into the playoffs.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: So we've gotten to just about the end of this
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: conversation and we have not asked you about Andrew Luck
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: And I think it's interesting, well because because I think
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: it's almost self evident, isn't it. He is back? It
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: is it is you know, it was a conversation that
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: no one could avoid. As he was coming back, he
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: couldn't avoid the conversations. We you know, we couldn't avoid
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: the questions. Um, But now it is fun to just say,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: we don't really have to answer these questions because I've
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: been watching what he's been doing. I mean, he's doing
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: everything that an m VP candidate should be doing. Um,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: he's you know, he's making plays. I think the play
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: against Miami where it was third down, he the pocket
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: starts to collapse, he steps out, finds Chester Rogers to
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: set up that field goal position. I mean, that is
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: an m v P play that was the moment in
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: the in the game that needed to happen, and he
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: was able to do it. Um, he's done everything. He's
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: you know, back in training camp when he returned, it
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: was there are a lot of boxes to check. He's
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: checked those boxes. And now he says, it's just fun
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: to be playing like this again. And and that's all
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: it is. You know, he's excited to be back, he's
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: excited to be playing the way that he is. Um.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: And it's evident when he takes the field that he's
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: just out there having a really good time. It sure is,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: and it's good for the game to have him back
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: as well. And uh, you know, with the the high
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: octane offenses that have taken over the NFL, I wouldn't
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: be surprised if it's not long before he's right there
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: with those quarterbacks throwing touchdown passes the season. Once again, Caroline,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: thanks for your time. We look forward to Senior Sunday.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: By the way, it's been cold here all week. It's
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: been this morning. I think it was probably cold for her.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: The first thing. I think what I woked up this morning,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: it was around twenty degrees here, which actually I will
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: say it has been unseasonably warm, but when I say that,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I mean the highs around Okay, well, it's gonna be
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: one degrees on Sunday. So that was actually in the
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: locker room. In the locker room we did have Alwood
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: asked Margest how excited he was to be able to
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: play in warm weather, and they spent a couple of
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: minutes just excited about the eighty degree weather that we're
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: going to get. This it's gonna be. It's gonna be
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: a nice weekend down here. So travel safely. We'll see
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: you on Sunday, and we certainly appreciate your time. Thanks
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: to see you guys. Caroline Can from Indianapolis Colts dot com.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Um just I thought myself longing for last year because
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: it seems so excited that is they are where this
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: team was a year ago. Now they've they've got something
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: because and we've said it a few times here over
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: the last few weeks, they've got their quarterbacks. They have
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: the answer there, and they have salary cap room, and
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: they've got young talent. Uh So, as the Jaguars start
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: retooling in the off season, you must retool to beat
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: the Colts. I get the Texans, I get the Titans.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Andrew Luck is the best quarterback in the division and
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: will be. I don't care how good Deshaun Watson becomes.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Andrew Luck is a prodigy. He is that good and
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: he will They will stay in the conversation for the
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: next few years. Because of that salary cap they're not
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: going anywhere. I think it's one of the reasons why
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: as you look at what who you're absolutely keeping. Marcel
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Darius needs to be in Jacksonville because you're gonna line
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: him up against Quentin Nelson. You're gonna mean, You're going
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: to put strength on strength. You start to look at
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: matchups and how you get two guys. You're going to
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: need big guys on the inside when it comes to
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: uh to play in the Indianapolis Colts. All right, we're

• 38:11
  Speaker 1: All right, Um, let's talk about tonight's game before we do.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Who said it? Um, you know they try to get
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: good Thursday night matchups and it just the way the
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: season plays out sometimes. I'm sure there's not a lot
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: of people excited to see the Titans and Jaguars next week,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: you know, Um, we're excited to go play it. But
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: you know, it is what it is, Uh, this one tonight.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: You have maybe the best team in football right now.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: And you say that because the Saints beat the Rams.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: I think the Rams are right there at the very top.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: You know, the Rams beat the Chiefs and the Saints
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: beat the Rams, and um, you certainly have a quarterback
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: who's playing at an insane level. Insane. Here's the number
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: for you. The New Orleans Saints are averaging thirty seven
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: point two points. Again, when you were at your height
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: with Peyton, did you average thirty seven points a game?
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know there were some games scored in
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: the forties, but here's a more impressive number. Ready, they
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: score on sixty one of their offensive possessions. I mean
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: that's as an offensive player. That's intense. That's intense. Now
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: they get a Cowboys defense which hasn't given up more
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: than thirty points in more than a season games, and
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: I think they're holding teams to less than nineteen points
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: a game. So it's kind of strength on strength. It
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: should be fun to watch from that perspective. Uh, but
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: let's start with Drew Brees because we're talking earlier. You know,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: there's there's a little similarity with the Cody Kesler thing
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: because he was a second round pick who was drafted
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: by a team and then discarded, but for a draft
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: pick kind of like like like Cody was and Breeze,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: you know, bounces around, there's a shoulder injury. People don't
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: know what he's going to become. And he's got seventy
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: passing yards. He's a Hall of Famer for sure. He's
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: got one Super Bowl, maybe another. He's an m VP
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: candidate every year. Uh, and he seems indestructible. Wow, it's
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: it's a I mean, you can't say enough about a
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: guy like that. But the thing that I'm most impressed
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: about Drew when I look at him is his leadership,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: his servant leadership, and the way he interacts with his teammates. Um.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: To see him doing a pre game speech, to see
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: how filed up he gets, and to see the reaction
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: from the people that the teammates that he's speaking to.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: To me is the most impressive thing that he does.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Because his numbers will speak for themselves, but when you
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: have that kind of impact on a team where you
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: talk and everyone listens, that's powerful. So uh. I forget
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: whether it's ESPN or anython network, but they were in
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: the locker room in New Orleans this weekend. They were
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: asking players about Drew as m v P and mark
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Ingram for one. Uh, the genuine you can see what's
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: real in the player's eyes, the love that he has
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: for he said, we are going all out. He deserves
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: to be the m v P and every one of
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: this offense wants to make every play so that the
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: rest of the league sees his greatness. I just stopped
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: and I thought, I don't know if we've ever had
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: a player in Jacksonville as universally beloved in the locker
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: of There's been some guys who are well like, don't
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: get me wrong, but we're talking about another level of
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: admiration and commitment. I'm guessing you saw that with Peyton
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Manning at that point in your career. Absolutely, Payton is
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: one of those kind of guys just special. I mean,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: not only are they a talented guy, but when you
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: can command that kind of respect, where if I dropped
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: the past and like, oh my god, I let Peyton
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: down because I knew what he expected from us, and
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: to let him down wasn't a slight on, like, well,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be mad at me, but because they were
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: respecting that admiration for the way he approached the game.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: I just think the other thing about Breeze is he's
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: just if he was walking down the street and people
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: who don't follow football didn't know who he was, never
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: guess he's a quarterback. He's I'm taller than he you know. Uh,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: he's sturdy, and he's obviously athletic, and he's got the
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: intense look in his eye. But you don't see superstar
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame NFL, not in the you know, Jim Kelly,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Dan Marino, John Elway, Tom Brady, Peyton, Manning Mold. He
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: just doesn't. It doesn't fit it. Yeah, yeah, And to me,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: that's the one thing that I think about a lot
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: with with Peyton. You know, he has his statue. When
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: you see him, you know he's a big guy. But
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: when I talk about honestuming just a down earth cowboy,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: boots and jeans with T shirt on, having a beer.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: And to me, that's the kind of guy to Drew
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: re strike me as just a genuine guy that loves
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: to be around his teammates. We talked about the difference
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: in the quarterback we saw last week with Josh Allen,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: huge guy, athletic, big Strew Bees is a totally different
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: body stature. And we can talk about what Michael Thomas
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: is doing as your receiver. I mean his numbers they
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: stand alone. But the guy that that to me, is
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: the game breaker there is is Camara And because he's
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: not just physical and he is, and he's not just
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: quick and fast but he is. But he kind of
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: like a former teammate a year's edger and James has
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: that that little unique ability to slide over the top
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: of a guy before he goes down and pick up
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: three sneaky yards. Um really like him? Yeah? Uh, Coach
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Jim Morrow's say, he's always falling forward. If you can
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: always fall forward as a running back, you're doing something
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: positive because at this level you get tackle for loss,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: you're putting your offense at disadvantage. And like Edrin had
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: this unique ability to get like you said, that extra
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: two or three sneaky yards, look up on the statue
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: and it's like, wow, yeah, he's got a hundred fifteen yards.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Where did it come from? Well, he feel fall for
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: you back. He can run over you, he can run
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: by you, but more often than not on third and
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: six he was picking up eight when you had when
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: you had stopped it before. Right, he's still managing to
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: slide over the top of people. So on Thursday nights,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: normally my kids sit down, they turn again, come on, dad,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: let's watch the game. I'm like, yeah, I do that
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: for a living. I do football all day. I'll go
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: find something else to do, but tonight I'll sit down
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: to watch it. I think Drew Brees is must see TV.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: I get that the Cowboys have some stars, but to me,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: this game is all about Breeze. I don't see any
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: way that the Cowboys slowly Yeah, I don't. I don't
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: see it. Then I gotta really get defense down in Dallas.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: But I don't know if they produced enough offensively to
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: keep up with with Drew Brees. And by the way,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: since you say that, that's really where this team is
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: at as they go forward, they've got to find a
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: system of quarterback both uh to play with Drew Brees
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: tomorrow but or today so to speak. But Pat mahomes
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: and and Jared Goff tomorrow they the future of this league.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: You're going to have to score points, have to you
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: have the special way that's being designed now, and you
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: have to have a guy that can throw it a
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: little bit. But you still got to have some ring game.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: But if you can throw it just a little bit,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: you stay in the chance to win a lot of
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: football games. The thing has become a passing league over
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: the last fifteen years. But it feels like the afterburners
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: have been hit have been lit this year with what okay,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: absolutely all right, time for this game? Who I'm going
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: to win? Say that every week. But I think we've
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: had a draw like three or four weeks. But I'm
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: still up one. Yeah, and that's that's under protest. There's
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: an asterisk there. All that matters. I'm up one. You
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: can't protest. It was weeks ago. No, I'm under protest
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: the entire way. Okays have ran out, not not to
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: me after the Thanksgiving holiday. They were cleared him by
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: the host to me. Okay, let's go. Let's start with
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: this on Twitter. Do kids still write lines in school
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: if they get in trouble. I saw this one. Oh
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: I know who this is. I got it. He gets
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: so into this nothing, he's he's convinced. Yeah, he's on offense. Hey,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: you know that's enough. Okay, Wow, I did the research
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: this week. Okay, well you may win this week. That
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: is invigorating. Let's see, well he got in trouble this week. Yes,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: but good. I would seem I knew that DJ charge.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: I should have said DJ because he's the type of kids.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Well you should have said DJ, because then we'd be
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: said that you have said that type of guy to
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: tweet that? Why is that? Yeah? I just think you
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: know once I read it, he's the kind of kid
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: that I would have said it because how he grew
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: up and where he grew up in his personality. Yeah,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: I really like Hey, I really like him. He's a
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: great kid, smart, he's a tough football player. It's important
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: to him matter. Leonard came by when we were interviewing
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: him last week and was kind of, what do you
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: do messing with them? Is it because they're here to
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: talk to me? And I thought, good for you, he said.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: He said, I'm doing my job. I love leading alone.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: This is my time. I hope he reaches his potential
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: because written pressure to come back. This is in reply
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: to the ESPN article about Sean the strength and conditioning coach,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: the good story they did, and then this guy quote
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: tweet and said, not sure there is anyone on this
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: earth that I'm more proud to call a friend regarding Sean.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: I got it in p So I'm struggling today. Did
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: you study at home? Come on? I got it. No,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: you gotta guess one. Come on, it's glad. I turned
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: on the social media today. Do you look this morning?
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: This morning, I was scouring growing up and down the roster. No,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: I'm just choosing guys that that that normally are active
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: on social media, and some of these guys I don't
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: don't as a defense. Oh yeah, come on, don't go there.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: Oh let's see it. There we go Josh Lambo Now,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: I will say Logan Cook also tweeted about him, but
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: he didn't say that tweet. But very likable guy. Now
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: half a point. I'm trying. I can't give you that.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't get mine. That was your third try? All right, well,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: no mercy today, mercy and just chalk and I guess no,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: we have. I have actually have two more. But then
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think that counts if you if you win,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: I don't even have to win this one, right, let's
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: do it any come on, let's do it anyware competitive?
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: I hate this guy about Josh Lambeau. I know we
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: haven't seen had haven't had the season we all imagined
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: so far this year. But make sure you vote for
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: our worthy players to make this year's NFL Pro Bowl,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: starting with Josh Lambeau, who's played lights out all year,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: who tweeted that. Given praise to Josh Lambeau, I'm three
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: and ow I got all three? Please, you're embarrassing you
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: right now. I don't know what I guess is that
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: well done? Brian three and Oklais Campbell tweeted out, give
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: our guy Josh lambeoul love for the Pro Bowl. So
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: I have raised the bar. Now there's little one and
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: one is zero zero now. But this is a clean slate,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: and I look, I have put on the table what
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: I'm bringing you. A bottle of the best sauce Kansas
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: City has to offer, and a bottle of the best
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: rub I have to offer, because I make one mean rub.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: But you haven't told me because now it appears there's
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: a chance that I could win. Yeah, that's a strong change.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Take it or leave it? Oh that not that, Marcus.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: It feels good to win. But I don't want to gloat. No,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: you don't want to You've been I can't help it.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: I've been getting my butt kicked in this thing all
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: season long, holding on by the skin of my teeth.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: And see, that's what happens. When you don't study, you fail,

• 52:18
  Speaker 1: with me. You won't. All right, the best of the
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: locker room, it was a good one last week. We've
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: had some not so great locker rooms, but last or yesterday,
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: And it's worth pointing out that when you get to
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: this point where the losing is just epic, uh, and
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: you have a coach fired, a quarterback bench, a star
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: players suspended. I mean that's like the trifecta. It has
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: been a really bad week, but a lot to talk about. Yeah,
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: the locker room wasn't They were not. No, So we
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: asked Klis Campbell the next five weeks, what's the goal,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: what's left for you? And of course Kleias said there's
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: a lot left for him. The biggest thing is just
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: to keep playing ball, you know, I mean, were you
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: brought there and you're playing good. You know, you put
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: a confidence in the front office and put a for
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: this in the city, and you know you can build
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: on something going forward. You know for fixture years. You know,
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: when you don't play good though, just you right there
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: egg rest of the season. And then you know, you know,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: you expect change. That's what surnounts me that ending you
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: expect change if you go out in lay a egg. Uh.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: It's it's a great He is a one of a
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: kind player, uh, a guy who can stand there and
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: explain the game when it's great, when it's not good
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: at all. Uh. And he sat there in the locker
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: room yesterday and was just I used the word earlier.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: He's magnanimous. He's that guy with a big heart who's
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: willing to take the time and explain what he means
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: and talk to people. It's important to him when football
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: is done. Um, you might want to write this one down.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: This is a great quote. It was given to me
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: by Vick Catchman, who longtime football fans. No. And it's
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: the memories that make you rich. And it's it's Calais Campbell.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: The money is there, but money comes and goes. But
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: the relationships that you build with players and coaches and media,
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: uh and fans. And Calais has a huge contract, but
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: he is rich in personal relationships because there's no one
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: in that locker room that doesn't want to hear what
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: he has to say that doesn't enjoy a conversation absolutely. Now,
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: this next one was a conversation that I had with
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: Unique and gok way Um and it was real simple.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: I said, so, what's the rest of the season about
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: for you? My goal is to ruin other teams. Uh,
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: that's trying to get to the playoffs, and I want
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: us to win the rest of these games, and that's
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: my goal. Went out and try to mess up anybody
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: has to playoff chances. He's the Quittin Nelson of the
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Jaguars locker room, a great player who plays, you know,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: like he's got a mouthful of nails, you know, I mean,
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: he's He's a good guy and he is a person
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: that I enjoy talking to, but there's times where I
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: don't even want to go into it. He is always wound.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: So it's funny we David Canis and I every week
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: go into the locker room play this game Jaguars a
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: fake Q trivia, and Unique and I always have had
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: a good relations ship. He's always been willing to talk
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: to me, but every time I go ask him to
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: play trivia, goes Ashland. I'm not the type of guy.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, you equally, let's play this week
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: like you'll like ido. I will never play trivia. You
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: have a football question, come to me. I'm not trivia
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: type of guy. No fun, well, serious, all football. But
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: you're gonna appreciate the fact that he tells you. He explains,
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: where are some people who just turn their back on you,
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: ignore you? Not right, No, not him. He'll give you
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: a reason, but there's no fun allowed in football season
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: for him. This next byte is one um that stands
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: out for candor, and it stands out for character. We'll
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: let it play and you'll understand for yourself. I put
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: myself in this, you know, in this position, and um,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: you know I didn't didn't play good enough, you know,
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: didn't win football games. I couldn't find a way to
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: get it done. And you know, when that happens, it's
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: it's a business and everybody understands that. And um, you know,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything personal involved, but it's you know,
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: as a quarterback, I think you got one job and
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: that's to won a football game. And if you don't
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: do that, your time's probably limited. So say what you
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: want about him as a quarterback and how you're ready
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: for something else. But you cannot argue with the fact
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: that it takes a high character individual who the week
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: that he's been benched at his friend, the coordinator has
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: been fired, and the expectations of a Super Bowl run
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: have been shattered, that he would stand there probably knowing
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: what we all do, which is that it's likely his
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: time that Jacksonville has done and answer the questions, no
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: matter what the questions were. Hats off to you, Blake.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: More players need to be like you, a true professional
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: and stand there and answer the questions, yeah, and say
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: it's on him, like everything on him. Yeah he did. Okay,
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: all right, Now let's go to the similarities of Cody
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: Kessler in Cleveland and now here in Jacksonville. Yeah, I
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: mean in Cleveland obviously, um, you know all back but
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't a great situation there, um and
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: and there was just a lot of adversity, a lot
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: of tough things, and it was kind of same here
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: right now, you know, three and eight and and you know,
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of frustration. But at the same time, you know,
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: I've always believed it's just you know, it's just a week.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: It's a new opportunity, and and you know, getting these
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: guys that really played for me. It's something that you know,
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: I really want to prove this week, and Sean ready
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: to go, and I don't really care about the record.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: There's a opportunity. It's gonna So I go back to
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: our conversation with him in the hotel suite in Minneapolis
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: before the Vikings camp when he came in and did
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: the production meeting with the preseason crew. UM, and he
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: talked about how Cleveland was so frustrating because last year
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: as Deshauan Kaiser was struggling and they were losing and
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: it was getting tough. He kept thinking, why am I
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: not getting a chance. It's not as if Kaiser is
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: the established veteran quarterback or even established starter or right.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: And I saw that same look in his eye right
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: there as he answered that question when we asked him
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: back in August. So I'm excited to see him play.
