• 0:35

• 0:38
  Speaker 1: guys to make sure you get your lift in all
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: right before I see your Sorry, are you away? Sorry?
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: That was a little loud. You know. That was right
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: before they found out that they could be sitting in
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the locker room for a couple of hours because it's
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: some mechanical delay. Yeah, that was but people were pretty excited.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: It made it easier to sit in the locker room way.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I was telling my mom that if that happened after
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I lost, people would have been pretty upset. But if
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you had to pick one game for a delay to happen,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: it was Sunday, because what an incredible game, great moment
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: for the team. No one seemed to care about the
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: delay because they were just celebrating the wind. Yeah, and
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: you know, Jaguars got fifty to ten and we didn't
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: get home until eleven o'clock the next morning because of
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: mechanical and weather and fog. And this felt so completely different. Yeah,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: it was. It was a really bad day, to be
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: honest with you. And this one, you know, you were
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: reliving these plays in your mind and on your video
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: screen because they're just so much fun to watch, and
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: they would be fun to watch anyway. But when they
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: happened in the second half and the Jaguars dominate and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: come from behind, um, that's as good a win as
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: we've seen around here since you know, we've seen some
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: good wins, but the Pittsburgh win in Pittsburgh was a
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: week four, Week five. This one felt like that. It
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: felt a lot like that because people were stunned at
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the out complete team win. Two. Everyone had a part
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: yea well, and of course Leonard Fournette was big in
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: that game. And that's probably why it feels so similar
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: because for Net against a great team that day in Pittsburgh,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: dominated the action and in the second half completely took
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a part a Broncos defense that, while not as good
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: as it was when they won the Super Bowl a
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: few years ago, is still one of the better defenses
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: in football from a talent perspective. Not to mention that
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: atmosphere basically a sold out game, loud third down, you
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: couldn't hear yourself think. Do you remember I told you
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: we were on the field a couple hours before kickoff.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: The stadium was empty, and I said to you, when
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: it's good, this is the best environment in the league.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And I really believe that it is better than Pittsburgh,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: It's better than Seattle. There's something about the way that
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: that crowd embraces the altitude and the weather and uh,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the orange crush is what they used to call it
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: back in the day. And you feel it when they're good,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and in the first half, the Jaguars felt it oka
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: big time. All Right, let's get into big things. Big
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: thing one is match, and that of course is Gardner
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Minshew nineteen thirty three thirteen yards, two touchdowns, seven point
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: to pass the rating Rona Mints. We were all a
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: little bit too judgmental in the preseason about Gardner Minshew
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: we've all been around enough to realize how hard and
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: difficult it is to play quarterback in the NFL. I
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: think we all would agree with that. It's hard to
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: find him, it's hard to development, it's hard. You know,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: it's been topic topic, topic, topic, topic after topic. So
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: now let's take it. There's not a guy in this
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: room that after the preseason would say this guy was
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: going to go out here and and and play. Like, Yes,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I think he's changed the way. I know he's changed
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the way I look at things in the preseason, you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: because he didn't play with a lot of those stars.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: You know, but I wasn't sure. I mean, I don't.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything that's crazy, right, big thing too
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: is more more Leonard for net rushes for two hundred
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and twenty five yards, including that eighty one yard run,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: second most in franchise story. That's a career high for him.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: On Sunday, the Jags with like the team they've been
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: wanting to beat is getting back to what we know
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: we're good at, you know, running the ball, and it
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: was effective. You know, all the guys put a bot
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: it on the body. You know. They are also kind
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: of stop vine and also Chuck. You know that those
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: two great at least, and they did a great job
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: hand those two guys. And we wrap up big things
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: with feast or famine. We're looking for a consistency here.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Against the Titans Thursday night football, you get nine and
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: a half sacks. On Sunday you don't get any sacks.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: And then the running game Thurday night football, it was
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: non existent Sunday. It's the reason they won the game.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So it's up and down. You would like it more
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: of an even keel, going forward running game without a doubt,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: And Doug talked about that yesterday. Resiliency is their personality
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: because consistency is not. Uh, you know, one day they run,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you know, the next day they can. One day they're
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a dominant defense. And and look, I know I expected
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: them to go in there and be able to dominate
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the line scrimmage from a defensive perspective. They got on
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: his face a little bit, but they didn't get to
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. You know, good for them. At the running
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: game got started in the second half because the defense
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: got to rest. The defense was able then to really
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: tee off and they got in his face a bit um,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you know, you look at four Net the first couple
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of games, especially against the Titans, it looked like he
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: was satisfied with two three yards just to put his
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: shoulder on a drive the pile right. Well, if you
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: watch this closely, you see a guy who drops his
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: hips and spins out of tackles, who not just drives
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: his shoulder in, but is then trying to leap over guys.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: He ran angry is the best way to describe it. Um,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: he was incredibly motivated, and I was entirely impressed with
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the way that he ran. He's the leading rusher in
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the a f C right now and third in the NFL.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: He's the feature back of this franchise, the fourth overall pick,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and yet people in the NFL since seen have spent
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: more time talking about se Kwon Bark and well deserved
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott and well deserved. It felt for the first
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: time to me like for Net cared that he was
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: not considered to be among the better backs in the league. Yeah,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: it was almost like it was a switch that turned
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: from offt on purpose. You spent time with him in
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: New Orleans this summer, Right, You've spent more time with
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: him than I have you tell me. Yeah, I mean
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: he did everything right in the office, He did all
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the work, everything that led up to it, and it
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: just wasn't clicking. And you could tell how frustrated he
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: was last week with things not going the way he wanted.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And we were walking out onto the field after halftime
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and the whole team runs out and I'm behind everyone,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and he kind of just stops and takes a moment
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to himself and closes his eyes and was there for
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: about thirty seconds. I'm thinking myself, I wonder what he's
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: thinking about right now. And he went out in the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: second half and completely changed his game. Whatever he was doing,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: do it again, making a consistent week tweak thing because
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the Panthers now are going to have to send someone
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage, an extra defender to be
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: cognizant of where he's at. Well, what does that do
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: for Gardner Minshew? It opens things up for the first
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: time the last two weeks they've had a contribution from
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the tight end position. Right James O'Shaughnessy has given them
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: touchdowns and some big catches to um if the middle
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: of the field is open because there is a safety
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: more conscious of the line of scrimmage. You know, good
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: for Minshew because he's proven that he is accurate and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: he can find what's going on. Four nets. Emergence in
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Denver is as much a story, or it should be
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: as much a story going forward as Minshew magic. Let's
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: go back to that. By the way, it was Minshew
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: mania last week. You've got to get it's now we've
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: gotta gotta become Minshew magic. Because that play for the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: touchdown to Rockwell Armstead was magic. Yeah, I've never seen
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: anything like that. He understood not just his footwork, he
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: understood third down here right long drive doesn't want to
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: settle for a field goal and be down eight points.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: So instead of trying to run to the outside and
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: get to the first down marker, he does most young quarterbacks,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: don't you. He runs back into danger right. There are
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: bodies running at him. A wicked hit was coming as
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: he got rid of the VA and so to have
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the awareness to go back into the pocket, the footwork
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: to avoid trouble, and then the awareness to find the
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: receiver that's open and deliver a pass on target. Well,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's magic. And I couldn't help but agree
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: with Doug as he was talking about how it's changed
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the way he looks at the preseason because he told
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: us at the production meeting on the Wednesday before the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Falcons game that Gardner Minshew still had to prove he
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: was the backup quarterback for the football team. I know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I remember thinking, if this guy is not your backup,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: who is, right? But he led no touchdown drives during August.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I was worried about his arm strength after the game
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: in Baltimore, and yet in four games now, there's no
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: question about his arm strength. He delivers. He didn't deliver
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: a touchdown drive in the preseason nationally, and yet every
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: time he's and needed the last two weeks, he's delivered.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: And he delivered in the Houston game all the way
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to the point that the two point conversion was the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: reason that they lost. Um, he's There aren't enough adjectives
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to describe what he's doing for this football team right now. Yeah, no, no,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: No one could have expected this to happen. And if
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: you say you did, you're lying because everyone watched the preseason.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: No one thought that this would happen. When falls went
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: down and you and I are behind the bench and
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: around the bench during the games and the way that
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the players are responding. Everyone right from the backup quarterback
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: to Marcel Darist. Everyone waits in line to be able
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to congratulate the kid when he comes off. He comes
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: off with a bit of swagger, right and his teammates.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: He's a sixth round rookie that didn't impress in August,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and he's the leader of this team unquestionably. I know
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Calaius is there, but even Calaius would point and say
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: when the quarterback is playing, well, he's the leader of
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the football team and the kids. He's doing it with
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: his arm and so we can do it with his mouth.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: It's want to watch, Yeah, you're gonna want to watch
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Jags wire this week just for the sideline sound of anything,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: because Gardner Minshew was just typing up the entire sideline.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I might screw this up, but Pat Kavanaugh was giving
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: us the ratings for the game on TV before we
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: came in here. It was like a uh and a
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: fifty three share, right. Um, it's like a half a
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: million people in this market, and it's a million person market,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: so half the people in Jacksonville were tuned in. Now
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: that's the function of a late afternoon game, right um,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what though, Minshew is driving people
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: to their TV. Hopefully he will drive people into the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: stands for the Saints game. I hope so big game
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: two weeks when we come back. We'll look at some
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: under the radar highlights coming up here on Jags Drive time.
• 10:53

• 12:27
  Speaker 1: you by Jet Home Lands on Jaggs Drive. And then
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: let's get right into the highlights. It's the first quarter
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Jags trying to respond after Denver scores very early Denverse
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: thirty five in DJ Chark making plays like he has
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: been all season long. So far this season, it's true, man,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and the connection is made with d J Chark. We've
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: seen receivers in Jacksonville before who could run and make catches,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: But rarely are the guys who have the physical attributes
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: to leap and grab that ball after the wrong arms
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: after he gets pushed. Uh, that is spectacular. Yesterday, in
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: his Monday Morning Quarterback column, Albert Brier for Sports Illustan
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: wrote that it's time to start talking about him being
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: a number one and someday he'll be a number one
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: for some team. Yeah, this team, team right now, Albert,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: where's your mind? They he's the number one they've been
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: waiting for here. I couldn't believe that he would say
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: for some team. Yeah, for this team. He's already the
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: number one for this team already. And we talked to
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: he was one of the big stories of the off season, Ashley.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Where would he come in The Jaguars didn't have a
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: number one, was the conversation. They had a bunch of
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: guys who could all contribute. Um, he should go to
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: a guy right now, and Albert will be jackson Roan
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: wants to run players off the roster like a national
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: media's pushing Jalen Ramsey off the roster. Now they want
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: to take this kid. No, yeah, I was standing behind
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the bench, and I had a lot of fans screaming
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: at for Net, go get yourself a team for not
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: you're doing great, but go get yourself another team. I
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: can't even then, huh. Trying to develop players for other people.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Peter King had Gardner Minshew one day having his own team.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe this team and Albert Brier had
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: had a chart going somewhere to be a number one. No. No,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: they're finding players in Jacksonville and they're developing them. Good
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: for us. Yea. And the broncos man who had too
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: much bud light was wanting was that the lady behind
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the bench. I wondered if her mom she kissed her
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: mom with the mouth she had. It was embarrassing. Yeah.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I didn't like her too much, to say the least mentioning. Alright,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: it's seventeen thirteen Denver. In the leave after Jack's come
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: out and score at halftime, Leonard for I talked about
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the moment he took to himself. I was hoping he
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: was thinking of this run that first half, has some
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: room to run. Throw that into the open field. Stays
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: on his feet at the third made field, looking for plots.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Still going at the thirty. He wants to fight, keep
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: going to be outside outside. It's three yard touchdown in
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: a franchise record. Um. Still, that was as close to
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: a beast mode kind of run as we've seen in Jacksonville.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: And he just ran over people right through armed tackles.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Just look at the way that he's got his vision,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: he's finding where the angle is, he's waiting for someone
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: to hit him, shoves him off. I mean, that's embarrassing
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: if you're one of those defenders and you get trounced
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: like that. Um, that was a fun run and it
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: did two things. When it sucked the life out of
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: that defensive line run without a doubt, of course, the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: jagg Wars would go on to score. That was a
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: three play drive. It also stole the soul of the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Broncos nation. I mean that whole orange question sat back
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: and what what happened? That's not old? What changed that
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: happened times. It was a magnificent play. Yeah, and credit
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: if you go watch miked up Chris Connelly was miked up.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Credit to him because you see him puffing and puffing
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: holl And but trying to get that at the Remember
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: that stadiums at five thousand a little too high. Yeah,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I shoot for Instagram stories on the sideline and I
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: started filming when he got the first block, and I
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: started trying to run and keep up with him, and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I saved the video because it's so funny to watch.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I stopped at the fifty yard line because I get
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: so tired, and I just tried to zoom the rest.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: There's a great big sign as the busses pull in
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: right next to the horse corral that says altitude sickness
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: is real. Well, it was the people in Denver that
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: we're sick after the game because Leonard Fournet destroyed them.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: And I decided I need to work on my running
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, you might want to get back
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: on the treadmo. I could not keep up, that's for sure.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go. That's where things start get interesting
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: and also a little stressful. Fourth quarter. Before this play,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Garner gets hit in the knee, starts limping, and then
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: delivers a play like this, get mins a break. Leonard
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Fournette has had a big day. They don't mins she
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: looking to throw, plus the football gets it back, throws
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and actually complete it. Here's why this shark a flag
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: played before he jumps and was hurt. Saw he was
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: looking at the ball and you could see he was
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: in paint. He stays in the ball game and does this,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: and watch him jump and as he jumps, he jumps
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: into the arm of von Miller and draws the flag. Right.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I would offer to you that if he came off
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the field even for one play, right, because he wasn't
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: sure whether he could move around, the Jaguars lose because
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Josh Dobbs, you can't expect him to make that kind
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: of a play. That's not who he is. That's who
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: this kid is. He jumps, he makes the throw, he
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: gets the penalty, game on, right, and he's tough man.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: If Minshoe comes out of the game for that play,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: he doesn't get the penalty on the next play. And
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: it wasn't a makeup call. Somebody turned to me with
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: that's a makeup call. Well, okay, it made sense that
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: it would be a makeup call because they totally blew
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: the call before. But von Miller basically clotheslined him. And
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: it was because he drops the ball, he picks it up,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and he was brilliant on that play to get rid
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: of the ball and it's that extra effort that made
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: it happen. And I saw someone complaining that Gardner jumped
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: into the clothes line, but he jumped up a clothes
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: line is a those yeah, no doubt. All right. Now,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: we talked about going into the season where the receivers
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: to make the next step, they had to fight for
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: extra yards. D D. Westbrook and Chris Connelly did just
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: that on the last drive. That's the row forty yard line, Minshew,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: looking through this book, he's doing. He stays, he bounds,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: spitting his right into the thirty and still going and
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: finally at a bounds at and that's a throw I
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: didn't know he could make. So cleats it to Connolly.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Connolly as a close time. So Connolly driving the two
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: receivers with them right so and both the receivers made
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: great place. But that throw right there, we didn't see
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: that in the preseason. He didn't. He had a chance
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: to make a couple of throws like that in Baltimore
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: but didn't. So the throw and then the extra effort
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Westbrook on the sideline with the footwork, and then this
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: is just this is a veteran move by Conley. I
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: mean he just fought for everything he could get. That's
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: what you paid for. You wanted that kind of guy.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: And what those both are are signs of player is
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: helping their quarterback making place and also helping Josh Lambo
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: not knowing if you're gonna get the touch on of
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the field goal. You got to get those extra yards
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: at that moment in time. All right. Those are highlights
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: from a big win in Denver. When we come back.
• 19:12

• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Woodfire Girl hot takes on Jaguars Drive Time. Here on
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Tuesday morning, you have a hot one about Leonard for
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Nett talk about him this week. Grill like done baby,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: um So, what you have on Sunday is a matchup
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: of two quarterbacks taken to the top ten and Christian
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: McCaffrey has been a sensation. He is a phenomenal back.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I mean on Sunday he had a hundred and fifty
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. Um is easily their
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: best offensive player and sets up what they want to do.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: But for Nett is coming off a better game, and
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I think the way that this sets up, I say
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: that for Nette wins the battle of these two guys
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: because the way the Jaguars played defense and the speed
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: they've got, I don't believe that McCaffrey will get free
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: on them like he did against the Cardinals a couple
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: of weeks back, and like he did against the Texans
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: last week. I say, the Jaguars corral him. Oh, he'll
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: still have McCaffrey still have a hundred yards from scrimmage
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: and he may score a touchdown. But I I think
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Leonard will dominate the line of scrimmage like he did,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: because you don't play a game like this and and
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: run this angry motivated style and then go backwards and
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: if you recall, and this is what sets this whole
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: thing up. He had the ninety yard run in Pittsburgh
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and that was the last play the game for him.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: And then the first play of the game for him
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: against the Rams was the what seventy five yard touchdown run?
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I think he is going to back to back game here,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: have back to back big plays and back to back
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: games big games, and so I say he has a
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: better overall day and is more impactful in the Jaguars
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: win in Carolina on Sunday than McCaffrey is in the
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Panther's loss. What's going off to preview right now stays
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: on for him. I don't see it going off, Absolutely
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: not all right, mine, Bernie Wood fired girl. Hot take is,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: let's start treating Gardner Mintshow like the starting quarterback he is.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Everyone knows the stash and the shorts and the personality.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: That's all you hear about on ESPN and NFL Network.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: But he's proven now the past few weeks that he
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: can play. People need to start saying that he can
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: play and start treating him like a starting quarterback. First
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: player in Jaguar's history to throw for at least two
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: d passing yards with a passer rating of at least
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: and four consecutive games. That's bigger than the jorts. That's
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: bigger than the mustache. Let's start talking about him being
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: able to play because he can well, and I think that.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: So I saw a meme this morning on of all things,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: my favorite Twitter, and it was a picture of him
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: being introduced here for the Sunday night game or the
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Thursday night game against Tennessee, and it said Gardner Minshew
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: built the hospital his uh he was born in. He
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: built the hospital. He said he drove his mother home
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: from the hospital the day he was born. I mean,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: it's just there's all of those now. The legend of
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew is alive and well, but it's created by
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: plays like that, So you're right, Yeah. I saw the
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: best one was when he met Peyton Manning pregame and
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: everyone's saying, Peyton Manning just met his m v P
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: of life, not Gardner Minshew meeting his hero met his hero. Great,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: it's fun, it is fun, but none of it would
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: be possible if you didn't have place like that, right,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: And I think if anyone's gonna tell you, I think
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: it's garnered to tell you the min show mania. I
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: don't want to talk about that anymore. I want to
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: talk about my performance on the field. He doesn't care,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: and that's why people can enjoy it. They enjoy it.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: He goes out in place just as himself. And by
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: the way, you're a better broadcaster when you're just yourself.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: He's a much better football player when he's just himself. Yeah,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: if you watch the silent reactions, you definitely see the Gardners.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Totally sure. All right, Welcome back on Jags Drive Time
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: in preview the week right here on the jag Spitual Network.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Did you hear the last two years the Jaguars were
• 24:39

  Speaker 1: your favorite toys Pepsi for just nine cents. Co Jacks
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: get serving up more belloti, participating work for the deep locations.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Then it's one per customer. His name is Jockstrap King. Uh,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: he's playing his part. You know what more can I
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: act from him? You know? And I apologiztic term For
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. I was very frustrating and
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't congratulated Michael was supposed to, you know, And uh,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: he's doing a hell of a job. Right when my
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: hot take was let's stop joking and start talking about
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: his play Strap King comes on because It doesn't sound
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: that flattering, but there's probably not a player in the
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: locker room that wouldn't mind someone referring to him as
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the king of the job. Straps quite the compliment. Yeah,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I think it in a strange testosterone induced way. Yeah,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: it probably is. All right, So it is Tuesday. We're
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: all jumbled here this week after a late night Sunday.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: But tomorrow starts the normal week preparing for Carolina. We'll
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: talk more about it on Wednesday and Thursday and Friday show.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: But these are two very similar teams. Well, they're playing
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: they're playing with their backup quarterbacks. I know you didn't
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: want to refer to him as a backup anymore, but
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: did you not listen to my hot tape. Well, but
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: when you give Nick Foles eighty eight million guaranteed dollars,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: you can't get away from that truth. Uh, They're they're
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: playing with their backup. No Nick Foles, no Cam Newton.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: This looks like a Marquee matchup, um, you know, back
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: before the season began. So they've got that. Both teams
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: have talent all over the defense, and the Jaguars get
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: more credit for their defense than Carolina has. But Ron
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Rivera has some some legitimate talent up there. Uh, and
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: they they they can make life very difficult. That they
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: don't have the two pass rushers like Denver has, but
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: they've got Brian Burns. They've got some guys who can
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: get after it. So there are many similarities. And I
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: just think the way that the Jaguars have played a
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: style that fits their personality and I think it sets
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: up well for them. Yeah. I think the biggest thing
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: to pay attention to on Sunday is we talked about
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: the feast or famine. If they can get the sacks,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: if they can get the run game, this might be
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: a totally different team. Well, if you get again consistency,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: So if the things that you expect to be your
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: personality you get contributions from, this is going to be
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: a tough out for any team, absolutely, all right, And
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: that is our show. We'll be back tomorrow with John Usier.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: We've missed him so really on Shaggs Drive Time. We'll
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: see tomorrow
