- 0:36Speaker 1: They burned it. We burned it. That's fine, Okay, it
- 0:39Speaker 1: wasn't about revenge. This is a different team. I'm gonna
- 0:42Speaker 1: tell you why it's different. All right. The guys are
- 0:45Speaker 1: one year older, the guys that have been here one
- 0:47Speaker 1: year into. We've got some new guys that have bought
- 0:49Speaker 1: into what we do. We care about each other. The
- 0:52Speaker 1: team is the most important thing. And as long as
- 0:55Speaker 1: we keep doing it for each other in this room, okay,

- 1:01Speaker 1: of us. It's the same way. Whether we want to

- 1:06Speaker 1: of the season, a f the opponent, enjoy it. It's
- 1:09Speaker 1: a great win. Come back to our corrections, and then
- 1:13Speaker 1: we got the division coming up. Okay, good job. Let's
- 1:15Speaker 1: go work on through, work on through, Let's go to work.
- 1:21Speaker 1: It's over. I wanted more. I wanted more of that.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Doug was sensational on the sideline yesterday, just watching him
- 1:28Speaker 1: the way that he managed his football team and in
- 1:30Speaker 1: the locker room afterwards, setting the expectation for how he
- 1:34Speaker 1: wanted his team to approach it um just through and
- 1:38Speaker 1: through football coach, I mean, at all times, managing the
- 1:40Speaker 1: situations at a pleasure to watch his football team yesterday.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Good morning, Welcome to Jack's Drive time on a Monday morning,
- 1:48Speaker 1: brought to you by Jet Home Loans, Brian Sexton, Ashlyn
- 1:51Speaker 1: Sullivan and the senior writer John Owes. You're here with
- 1:54Speaker 1: you to recap the game and offer you some perspective.
- 1:59Speaker 1: What say you guys this morning? I'm pipe, I'm pumped.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Did you say we're pipe? Pipe? Everybody's pipe aren't? This
- 2:09Speaker 1: is the morning to be pipe pie pipe. I think
- 2:13Speaker 1: we can just I think yes, you did. I think
- 2:17Speaker 1: We've got a long way we can go with that
- 2:19Speaker 1: one let's try to get what say you this morning?
- 2:21Speaker 1: As I am happy you know you were born pipe,
- 2:30Speaker 1: you know, watching that piece that the first time I've
- 2:33Speaker 1: seen it, and then thinking last night, I trying to
- 2:38Speaker 1: put this game in perspective. Um, I don't know what's
- 2:40Speaker 1: going to happen the rest of the season. I don't
- 2:42Speaker 1: know if this team has had it for the Super Bowl.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I think I think it has a chance. I think
- 2:45Speaker 1: it's really good. But listening to Maron and then watching
- 2:49Speaker 1: the players come in and you know, do the go
- 2:55Speaker 1: um and then listen to him in the locker room,
- 2:58Speaker 1: they hear his mess. This is this team's time. This
- 3:02Speaker 1: is a team that's ready to win now. We talked
- 3:05Speaker 1: throughout the offseason about how in O T O Tasman
- 3:11Speaker 1: training camp it felt like a team ready to flex
- 3:14Speaker 1: and show how strong it was. Um, everything's coming together.
- 3:18Speaker 1: We've talked about how much talent there is on the roster,
- 3:21Speaker 1: about how some of this talent won't be here next year.
- 3:23Speaker 1: They're buying in. There's a time when teams eventually shut
- 3:28Speaker 1: out a coach way way way down the road. They're
- 3:32Speaker 1: hearing this guy and they're into what he's saying. They
- 3:35Speaker 1: know this is their chance in their time, and boy,
- 3:39Speaker 1: is it. You don't get a chance in our business, Brian,
- 3:43Speaker 1: to be around this many teams who you feel like
- 3:46Speaker 1: are all on the same page, going in the same direction,
- 3:49Speaker 1: it's special. Doug was clearly effective with the message, which was, hey,
- 3:53Speaker 1: it's a big win. It's about the Jaguars, it's not
- 3:55Speaker 1: about the Patriots or revenge or any of that stuff.
- 3:58Speaker 1: And all the players we're afterwards of that same mindset.
- 4:02Speaker 1: But I don't think it was just them taking it
- 4:04Speaker 1: in and regurgitating what he had said. Malie Jackson Turney
- 4:09Speaker 1: was like, look, we expected to win. What did you
- 4:11Speaker 1: guys think about it? They were not all no, no,
- 4:16Speaker 1: you are never going to hear the end of that.
- 4:19Speaker 1: But the reality is that this team understood the circumstances
- 4:23Speaker 1: before the game all week long, and they understood the
- 4:26Speaker 1: significance afterwards that this is about week two week. They
- 4:31Speaker 1: know the division is next week. A j boy A,
- 4:33Speaker 1: you know, was like a professor afterwards talking about yet
- 4:36Speaker 1: you take this now, you mix it with this, and
- 4:38Speaker 1: it's the division and it's two for one, and you
- 4:40Speaker 1: gotta go and be focused on the Titans next week.
- 4:42Speaker 1: And I heard one guy say it. I heard ten
- 4:44Speaker 1: guys say it. They got us twice last year. They
- 4:46Speaker 1: have a little revenge to her going here right from
- 4:49Speaker 1: our perspective, from some of those two uh Patriots, Titans
- 4:54Speaker 1: who got him twice last year, Jets who beat him
- 4:56Speaker 1: in overtime last year, it forget revenge. It's a learning opportunity.
- 5:00Speaker 1: It's lessons learned. Oh, this is how we beat Tom Brady.
- 5:03Speaker 1: And by the way, remember last year there was so
- 5:05Speaker 1: many similarities to the game from from the a f
- 5:07Speaker 1: C title that went the Jaguars way this time. I'll
- 5:09Speaker 1: give you two examples. End of the first half. End
- 5:12Speaker 1: of the first half in New England. Bortles hits Marcedes
- 5:16Speaker 1: Lewis for a first down. They're about to go in
- 5:19Speaker 1: twe to three right instead delay of game, they punt,
- 5:23Speaker 1: Tom Brady goes down, makes it fourteen ten. You could
- 5:26Speaker 1: kind of feel it if they had some momentum here
- 5:29Speaker 1: they faced third down, he hits Austin Seferian Jenkins first down.
- 5:33Speaker 1: They go on to go up three. At that point,
- 5:35Speaker 1: I'm like, that's the difference. Then fourth quarter d d
- 5:40Speaker 1: Westbrook he falls down. Last year, he's got the speed,
- 5:43Speaker 1: as we saw yesterday to score and he's on the
- 5:46Speaker 1: Jaguars sideline on that cold turf in New England and
- 5:49Speaker 1: he loses his footing as he tries to make a
- 5:51Speaker 1: move to the inside of the cornerback. Not this time,
- 5:54Speaker 1: he goes outside, goes down the sideline. Game essentially over
- 5:59Speaker 1: at that point. There were moments where it was such boom,
- 6:03Speaker 1: hit you in the head. That didn't happen in New England.
- 6:06Speaker 1: And as much as you want to talk, yes, they
- 6:09Speaker 1: were aggressive throughout and it's been a big storyline and
- 6:13Speaker 1: I get that. At the same time, some of what
- 6:16Speaker 1: happened in the third quarter showed you a little bit
- 6:19Speaker 1: of why they weren't aggressive last year. The turnovers that
- 6:23Speaker 1: happened in the third quarter difference this year as much
- 6:26Speaker 1: as anything. Point blank, Patriots get a touchdown another point blank.
- 6:32Speaker 1: You think that Dante Fowler big play last year when
- 6:36Speaker 1: it was sort of when the water started flowing against them,
- 6:40Speaker 1: that big play didn't happen. I know, Dante Fowler's fumble
- 6:45Speaker 1: didn't result into Jaguars touchdown, It prevented a field goal,
- 6:49Speaker 1: shifted field position back, huge play for Dante. The momentum,
- 6:53Speaker 1: you could just there were a ton on the east sideline.
- 6:56Speaker 1: There were a ton of Patriots fans and it was
- 6:59Speaker 1: an audible sigh, you know, the kind that we hear
- 7:02Speaker 1: sometimes coming from the control room. Uh, they knew, they knew.
- 7:09Speaker 1: And you saw that when d J Chark had the fumble.
- 7:11Speaker 1: I saw John that you tweeted, you can't turn over
- 7:13Speaker 1: on this team because they're going to capitalize on it.
- 7:14Speaker 1: And you thought when that started going, you thought, oh,
- 7:17Speaker 1: but Dante Fowler's play automatically silent stuff. And what a
- 7:21Speaker 1: play by Dante Fowler in terms of unbelievable EFFORCTA. The
- 7:25Speaker 1: most impressive part of it was how Adrian Waddle, a
- 7:28Speaker 1: big offensive tackle was pulling him back by the shoulder
- 7:31Speaker 1: pads and he fought through with one arm to get
- 7:34Speaker 1: the ball. And if you go back and we'll show
- 7:36Speaker 1: the highlight, he had to fight for that ball and
- 7:39Speaker 1: he got it. Hey, how about a look at the
- 7:40Speaker 1: Twitter pool before we get into big things here on
- 7:42Speaker 1: a Monday morning Jags Drive time, who's the Exfinity player
- 7:46Speaker 1: of the game. You know, there's some great candidates right there.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Obviously you can offer someone else who might be to
- 7:54Speaker 1: Shaun Gibson. Right if we had unlimited opportunities for people
- 8:01Speaker 1: to vote. We could probably put six seven names up there,
- 8:04Speaker 1: but that's the three that we've got. You can add
- 8:06Speaker 1: yours in the comment for the expenity Player of the
- 8:09Speaker 1: game and ms Peppy. Let's go write to big things.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Not even a word, No, it's pipe to pipe, pipe
- 8:18Speaker 1: to you pal, all right? Big thing one is the
- 8:21Speaker 1: boat versus the goat and the boat want We heard
- 8:24Speaker 1: people say that that could have been Blake Bortle's best
- 8:26Speaker 1: game of his career. Blake Bortles seventy seven yards, four
- 8:30Speaker 1: touchdowns of Brady two four yards, two Dutch downs. So
- 8:35Speaker 1: I don't get the whole boat thing. I mean I
- 8:37Speaker 1: get best of all times. So we're saying that was
- 8:39Speaker 1: his best game of all time versus the greatest quarterback
- 8:42Speaker 1: of all time. He's just the boat. It's just a
- 8:44Speaker 1: known thing. It's a thing on Twitter. Twitter is this thing, Brian.
- 8:48Speaker 1: If you go online, I've got it up right here.
- 8:50Speaker 1: You'd be surprising I actually follow you, but I don't
- 8:53Speaker 1: have to pay more attention, right, But yeah, the boat
- 8:57Speaker 1: is a thing, and and it's uh yeah, you can
- 9:00Speaker 1: thank Darneld Brady for that one social media manager. He
- 9:02Speaker 1: uses it quite often, but you know, yes, it was
- 9:08Speaker 1: Blake's best game. But I think what's significant is I
- 9:11Speaker 1: don't know that it was far. I mean, it's being
- 9:14Speaker 1: touted as that because it was against Brady, and I
- 9:16Speaker 1: understand the circumstance. But the reality is for the last
- 9:20Speaker 1: eleven games, the last season, uh and now one of this,
- 9:25Speaker 1: he has turned in a lot of these and you know,
- 9:28Speaker 1: it's it's just it, it's tiresome at this point, the
- 9:33Speaker 1: narrative around this kid that he can't get it done.
- 9:36Speaker 1: He was big time yesterday. And you know, as I know,
- 9:40Speaker 1: he's going to have more games where he's not perfect
- 9:42Speaker 1: against we we have to keeping perspective. They are gonna
- 9:45Speaker 1: be dips. But this was a big time performance, not
- 9:49Speaker 1: just the passes he through, but the pocket presence, the
- 9:53Speaker 1: scrambling at the right moment. How many times to read
- 9:56Speaker 1: or hear from New England. We have to be aware
- 9:59Speaker 1: of his mobility, and he got outside the pocket and
- 10:02Speaker 1: ran for three first downs yesterday and orchestrated ten of fourteen.
- 10:08Speaker 1: I believe he was seven of seven on his first
- 10:11Speaker 1: seven third down passes. I don't know how that stat
- 10:14Speaker 1: maintained going forward, but it was as much as the
- 10:21Speaker 1: stats were impressive. He combined the stats with that element
- 10:27Speaker 1: that whenever you talk to people this offseason and they
- 10:30Speaker 1: would ask you why in the world with the Jaguars
- 10:33Speaker 1: re signed Blake, why would they trust in him? And
- 10:36Speaker 1: you would try to explain to him the intangibles that
- 10:40Speaker 1: the players in this locker room feel. I ran into
- 10:43Speaker 1: Jeff Darlington uh the night before the game from ESPN,
- 10:47Speaker 1: and we were talking about UH quarterbacks who were more
- 10:51Speaker 1: liked in their locker room and more loved in their
- 10:54Speaker 1: locker room than this guy. Around the NFL. Jeff covers
- 10:56Speaker 1: the league, he said might be one or two, but
- 11:00Speaker 1: the intangible but this guy brings in terms of being
- 11:02Speaker 1: a locker room leader, in terms of being that guy,
- 11:05Speaker 1: in terms of doing the things on third down, you
- 11:07Speaker 1: saw guts, all that stuff, wanted to play for him.
- 11:10Speaker 1: It's off the charts, and he showed it again. Well.
- 11:12Speaker 1: I wrote in quick thoughts that you know, he may
- 11:14Speaker 1: never get the love nationally, although this morning he's getting so.
- 11:18Speaker 1: But he may never get it nationally, but he darnwell
- 11:20Speaker 1: should get it here with these fans because this is
- 11:23Speaker 1: what they've seen from him. Go back to last year
- 11:26Speaker 1: with that great three game performance against the Colts, the Seahawks,
- 11:29Speaker 1: and the Texans. Right he's thrown eleven touchdowns and only
- 11:32Speaker 1: one interception yesterday which wasn't even his fault, okay, and
- 11:35Speaker 1: has a astronomical quarterback efficiency rating at home. The Jaguars
- 11:40Speaker 1: fans should fully understand what they've got in this kid now.
- 11:43Speaker 1: And by the way, it's not a league where patients
- 11:47Speaker 1: is necessarily a virtue. However, the patient shown to him
- 11:52Speaker 1: right with Tom and Doug and Dave last year is
- 11:55Speaker 1: absolutely paying. It's an interesting concept that you wonder if
- 12:02Speaker 1: some of these quarterbacks who are a little marginal, which
- 12:05Speaker 1: he was for a while, if one or two teams
- 12:07Speaker 1: might look at this and say, we need to be
- 12:10Speaker 1: a touch more patient with our guy. It's really tough.
- 12:13Speaker 1: It's tough to get through what Blake went through his
- 12:17Speaker 1: first well was it three years and even half of
- 12:20Speaker 1: the second to get to this point. But again, for
- 12:25Speaker 1: all his flaws, and there are things that he doesn't
- 12:28Speaker 1: do well, but the things that he does do well
- 12:32Speaker 1: fits so well with this team right now. It's it's
- 12:34Speaker 1: a fascinating story to watch. Worth pointing out Albert Brier,
- 12:38Speaker 1: who writes The Money Morning Quarterback column now for Sports
- 12:41Speaker 1: Illustrated website. Had a conversation with Nathaniel Hackett. I was
- 12:44Speaker 1: reading it before we went on the air, and Nathaniel
- 12:47Speaker 1: said that the little rollout to the little dump off
- 12:50Speaker 1: to Corey Grant early in the game, it may have
- 12:52Speaker 1: been on the first drive was his fifth option. And
- 12:56Speaker 1: the difference between Blake Bortles we talked about, they couldn't
- 12:59Speaker 1: get to that this time his team having patients with Blake.
- 13:03Speaker 1: Blake now is exhibiting the same patience within the offense,
- 13:07Speaker 1: and Corey Grant was his fifth option and he got
- 13:10Speaker 1: to it. So you were seeing the maturation and we
- 13:13Speaker 1: have seen it since last season of Blake Bordles. Jaguars
- 13:17Speaker 1: fans should just get on board. Credit to the guy
- 13:19Speaker 1: you mentioned to he he schemed, meaning Nate Hackett a
- 13:23Speaker 1: hell of a Yang game. I don't think Blake's ever
- 13:26Speaker 1: gonna lose that proving people wrong factor. If I don't know,
- 13:29Speaker 1: if you guys saw right before the game, CBS Sports
- 13:31Speaker 1: Network had their pregame shown, they said, if they're putting
- 13:33Speaker 1: the game in Bartle's hands that I don't know if
- 13:35Speaker 1: the Jaguars even bothers showing up because they're not going
- 13:38Speaker 1: to win. Clown chef who said that. I'd have to look,
- 13:41Speaker 1: but it was on the CBS Sports Network show You've
- 13:44Speaker 1: all retweeted after the game and said it takes expose.
- 13:47Speaker 1: It was kind of a silly statement in the start,
- 13:49Speaker 1: it was, but wow, prove them wrong, man, prove them wrong.
- 13:53Speaker 1: They did yesterday. They did all right. Big thing too
- 13:56Speaker 1: is big moments. So in our second block we're gonna
- 13:58Speaker 1: go over some though. It's huge moments, but there's so
- 14:02Speaker 1: many that we can't even tell them. I can't. So
- 14:03Speaker 1: let me just give a couple of moments in the game.
- 14:07Speaker 1: How about the paths first and ten at the Jaguars
- 14:11Speaker 1: eleven yard line after the penalty on Telvin Smith and
- 14:15Speaker 1: the Jaguars hold him to a field goal. Right, that's
- 14:18Speaker 1: first half stuff. And they hold him to a field goal.
- 14:20Speaker 1: So instead of fourteen seven, it's fourteen three. I mentioned
- 14:24Speaker 1: earlier the Jaguars last year settled for a fourteen ten
- 14:28Speaker 1: lead because they couldn't convert. This time, they drive lead again.
- 14:31Speaker 1: You could feel that at the end of the first half.
- 14:34Speaker 1: How about borders intercepted in three days later, Dante obviously
- 14:37Speaker 1: comes up with that huge play Um maybe as big
- 14:40Speaker 1: a play as any in the game. Third down in five,
- 14:42Speaker 1: little dump out to James White, Kelvin Smith chases him down,
- 14:47Speaker 1: they measure, they throw the challenge flag, and then Bill
- 14:51Speaker 1: Belichick opts to punt um. The next play was the
- 14:56Speaker 1: sixty one yard touchdown. They stayed aggressive to add Westbrook.
- 15:00Speaker 1: How about third and eight Borders running for ten on
- 15:02Speaker 1: the final drive and then third and three Corey Grant
- 15:04Speaker 1: taking little dump out and going for five. There were
- 15:06Speaker 1: just there were just so many moments in the game
- 15:09Speaker 1: where it felt like the Jaguars had to make the play,
- 15:13Speaker 1: and yesterday they did. Yeah, and you mentioned the Telvin
- 15:18Speaker 1: Smith play, Uh, with the challenge. It's one of those
- 15:21Speaker 1: hidden plays that sometimes doesn't make a lot of storylines
- 15:25Speaker 1: because it's not a highlight. Um. I said before the game,
- 15:28Speaker 1: I thought the speed of this defense Miles Jack and
- 15:31Speaker 1: Telvin Smith would be a huge factor against the Patriots.
- 15:35Speaker 1: I've covered a lot of Patriots games over the years,
- 15:38Speaker 1: covered a lot of the Manning Brady rivalry, so I've
- 15:40Speaker 1: seen how the Patriots operate. A lot of times they
- 15:45Speaker 1: win games because of hidden things, because a pass from
- 15:49Speaker 1: Brady gets them into second and two instead of second
- 15:52Speaker 1: and six. Um. There were a lot of plays where
- 15:55Speaker 1: I thought the Jaguars defense, I don't say surprise New England,
- 16:00Speaker 1: but the speed and the level of the Jaguars defense
- 16:03Speaker 1: was playing was putting New England in tougher situations than
- 16:07Speaker 1: they were used to normally. When they would call a
- 16:10Speaker 1: certain play, they and it was successful, they would face
- 16:13Speaker 1: second and three against the Jaguars, all of a sudden,
- 16:15Speaker 1: they're facing second and seven. Because this defense is really good,
- 16:19Speaker 1: really fast. It really stopped the run. Well. As much
- 16:23Speaker 1: as we're talking about the offense today because Blake bol
- 16:26Speaker 1: was a huge storyline, this game doesn't happen without a
- 16:30Speaker 1: sustained excellence that we've come to expect from the defense.
- 16:34Speaker 1: One in particular was when Brady threw it out of
- 16:37Speaker 1: the back field to James White and tell them chased
- 16:41Speaker 1: him down. I mean it was. And the first thing
- 16:43Speaker 1: eleven you're talking about was a very similar thing. As
- 16:49Speaker 1: you watched the Patriots over the years, and again I
- 16:51Speaker 1: probably covered fifteen sixteen games of this regime, they score
- 16:56Speaker 1: in that situation, what they do and what the eight
- 17:00Speaker 1: teams with great quarterbacks do. They're down fourteen nothing and
- 17:04Speaker 1: they get an opportunity. Well, all of a sudden, they're
- 17:08Speaker 1: fourteen seven and walk into the locker room thinking, Okay,
- 17:11Speaker 1: we got this. Now we're back in it. Now we're
- 17:13Speaker 1: rolling to hold them to three there rather than seven.
- 17:17Speaker 1: It is jolting to the Patriots because they don't expect
- 17:22Speaker 1: to be stopped there. Well, and you could see on
- 17:23Speaker 1: the sideline after after the fumble, charts fumble and the
- 17:27Speaker 1: touchdown to Chris Hogan, you could see, I mean the
- 17:30Speaker 1: lift that it gave there. Down fourteen points in the
- 17:32Speaker 1: third quarter. They've done that a million times. They're winning
- 17:35Speaker 1: the game at that point, and they believed it. They
- 17:37Speaker 1: absolutely believe it. Obviously, the Jaguars defense, and that's a
- 17:39Speaker 1: key thing we're talking about. You know, they knew at
- 17:43Speaker 1: that point the Patriots that they were gonna win in
- 17:46Speaker 1: their mind. Uh significant. They also knew in the AFC
- 17:49Speaker 1: Championship game last year they went away when they were
- 17:51Speaker 1: down ten. And I'm saying this exaggeratedly key for the Jaguars.
- 17:56Speaker 1: They knew yesterday they were going to stop him. And
- 17:59Speaker 1: that's a huge change in terms of the maturity level
- 18:02Speaker 1: of the team down in that locker room. Yeah, you
- 18:04Speaker 1: talked about the maturity level. This bench always has a
- 18:06Speaker 1: lot of fun, but they're focused. I saw a new
- 18:08Speaker 1: level of focus with that linebacker corps. When they got
- 18:11Speaker 1: off the field, it was Telvin Smith and Myles Jack
- 18:13Speaker 1: with a whiteboard just by themselves going over plays and
- 18:15Speaker 1: Leon Jacobs, who was out of the game, just the
- 18:17Speaker 1: three of them standing there the entire time the offense
- 18:20Speaker 1: was on the field. They know what's expected of It
- 18:22Speaker 1: was a newfound focus. I saw they had to because
- 18:26Speaker 1: Tom Brady, without the consistent threat outside, knew that he
- 18:30Speaker 1: was going to dump the ball off a lot. He
- 18:31Speaker 1: had guys, what did he throw nine twelve attempts on
- 18:36Speaker 1: opening day? Two running backs, So they knew. They knew
- 18:38Speaker 1: they were going to be targeted, and if they shut
- 18:40Speaker 1: it down, it was really going to be difficult for
- 18:43Speaker 1: Tom Brady to move Anyways, Telvin Smith said after the game,
- 18:46Speaker 1: they knew everything on the Patriots offense runs through Brady, Groom, Casky,
- 18:51Speaker 1: and White, and they talked about to Sean shutting Casky down,
- 18:54Speaker 1: but it was also if they shut down White, Uh
- 18:58Speaker 1: the the e key. Miles Jack's not a kid anymore,
- 19:03Speaker 1: He's a grown up NFL adult football player. Pretty good
- 19:06Speaker 1: on my pretty good athlete to say the least. All Right,
- 19:10Speaker 1: last big thing is what's next. What's next is a
- 19:13Speaker 1: team that is coming into the state and that beat
- 19:15Speaker 1: you twice last year. So at the end of the game,
- 19:17Speaker 1: after Doug's pregame, our postgame huddle speech, lunch, Larente mccraie
- 19:21Speaker 1: gets in the huddle and says, hey, great wing guys,
- 19:23Speaker 1: but rowing two against these guys, let's focus, let's get going,
- 19:27Speaker 1: let's focus next. Yeah, we mentioned that. So a little
- 19:29Speaker 1: bit of a revenge tour here, a little bit of
- 19:31Speaker 1: a redemption if you will, where you've got the Titans
- 19:33Speaker 1: coming in and the Titans at the end of last year,
- 19:35Speaker 1: we're saying, well, okay, they maybe division champs, but they
- 19:37Speaker 1: didn't beat us, right, Uh, Titans are coming and beat
- 19:40Speaker 1: up along the offensive front, which brings us to what
- 19:43Speaker 1: else is next for the Jags. We have not heard
- 19:46Speaker 1: from the Jaguars yet this morning, but the word on
- 19:49Speaker 1: the street from National reporters is that Cam Robinson has
- 19:52Speaker 1: done for the season with a torn a c l
- 19:54Speaker 1: which that was the first thing they were looking when
- 19:56Speaker 1: he was on the ground, and he left the stadium
- 19:58Speaker 1: last night on crutches, Uh, with a big leg brace on.
- 20:02Speaker 1: So assume that that's the case, Josh Wells, next man up.
- 20:07Speaker 1: Imagine there's gonna be a roster movi here somewhere finding
- 20:09Speaker 1: a tackle. Yeah you think, because uh, you don't get
- 20:14Speaker 1: the idea based on what they did during pre season
- 20:17Speaker 1: that they believe Will Richardson is ready for that prime
- 20:21Speaker 1: backup role. Uh, he's more of a right tackle than
- 20:24Speaker 1: a left tackle anyway. Yeah, and uh so yes, and
- 20:29Speaker 1: and well is not the ideal scenario or or he
- 20:32Speaker 1: would be the start. That's pretty obvious. I the great
- 20:36Speaker 1: teams must overcome a one or two or three catastrophic injuries.
- 20:40Speaker 1: Might say catastrophic, I mean season ending, right, And Uh,
- 20:43Speaker 1: this is that Here's that they have been able to
- 20:46Speaker 1: show they can overcome Marquise Lee yesterday, d d Westbrook
- 20:49Speaker 1: and Dante Moncrieff and the receiver's coming up with big plays.
- 20:52Speaker 1: But now they've got to figure out a way to
- 20:54Speaker 1: play at the left tackle spot with a backup. Yeah.
- 20:57Speaker 1: And this is a different conceptual injury than it was,
- 21:02Speaker 1: say when Bisselli tore his a c L and meaning
- 21:06Speaker 1: arrow wise the left tackle in the nineties, even in
- 21:09Speaker 1: their two thousands was considered an irreplaceable part that you
- 21:14Speaker 1: had to have offenses. Now you know the league can
- 21:18Speaker 1: scheme more around this. There have been some Super Bowl
- 21:21Speaker 1: champions in recent years. Uh. The Eagles were not this,
- 21:24Speaker 1: but there have been some Super Bowl champions in recent
- 21:26Speaker 1: years with awful, awful tackle play. Uh, you can overcome
- 21:30Speaker 1: the loss of a left tackle in this league. Now,
- 21:32Speaker 1: all right, there are your big things. We've got much
- 21:34Speaker 1: more ahead on Jags Drive Time on a Monday, presented
- 21:37Speaker 1: by our folks at gent Home Books only in Jacksonville.

- 22:55Speaker 1: Monday morning. A lot to talk about over the after
- 22:58Speaker 1: that big Patriots win. We mentioned highlights and there's a
- 23:01Speaker 1: lot of them. A lot of them are going to
- 23:02Speaker 1: get lost because they're not a touchdown or fumble, right, Sorry,
- 23:07Speaker 1: talk about the lines, and I just I wanted to
- 23:09Speaker 1: talk about the fact that that stadium was unbelievable, awesome, great,
- 23:13Speaker 1: great atmosphere. I mean I didn't see there were the
- 23:16Speaker 1: very up there were the bud zone was full. Um,
- 23:19Speaker 1: the sky patio was full, the deck on this end
- 23:24Speaker 1: was packed. Um. The stadium was it was. It was loud.
- 23:28Speaker 1: It was an incredible scene down it was loud. There's
- 23:31Speaker 1: so many, uh then using levels that there's gonna be
- 23:35Speaker 1: some empty seats because people are moving races. That that's
- 23:37Speaker 1: the NFL in general. They're standing room places. Gathering spaces.
- 23:41Speaker 1: It's not so much a row in a seat like
- 23:42Speaker 1: it used to be, but we're insulating in the process.
- 23:45Speaker 1: One of the things that sometimes frustrating about covering a
- 23:47Speaker 1: game here is it's almost soundproof inside the press box.
- 23:51Speaker 1: You can't really get a feel for how loud it is.
- 23:53Speaker 1: But from what I could here, it was as good.
- 23:56Speaker 1: I mean I expected it to be, but it's as
- 23:58Speaker 1: good a crowd as I've seen here. This hasn't been bad.
- 24:00Speaker 1: But the good news for you was you didn't sweat.
- 24:03Speaker 1: It was fine. I mean, I was with you when
- 24:05Speaker 1: I first got out of the elevator. There's a long
- 24:09Speaker 1: corridor between where I sit and where the elevator. It
- 24:13Speaker 1: was a little warm on that walk. I feel so
- 24:15Speaker 1: sorry for you the agony. Sorry, but I got to
- 24:19Speaker 1: my seat and it was cool and I was pipy,
- 24:21Speaker 1: pipy new word. Guy's gonna make fun of it, but
- 24:25Speaker 1: it's a good word to the highlights. Yeah, we need
- 24:27Speaker 1: you to define it, if you could by by Wednesday
- 24:29Speaker 1: show I think we feel it. I'm going to make
- 24:31Speaker 1: a graphic with a definition and i'll show Wednesday. We'd
- 24:34Speaker 1: like maybe you can be the Twitter powl. It could be.
- 24:37Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the highlights we mentioned. There's
- 24:39Speaker 1: a lot of them. The first one that we have
- 24:41Speaker 1: to mention is the first touchdown catch for Dante Monty
- 24:44Speaker 1: about the season to set the tone for the offense,
- 24:47Speaker 1: let's grant the running backs touchdown creep. I was standing
- 24:56Speaker 1: right next to you. Actually we were in that corner
- 24:58Speaker 1: and that bowl was thrown. It was a laser. It
- 25:02Speaker 1: was like Tom Brady threw it, to be honest with you,
- 25:05Speaker 1: and a lot of people said, that's in Alan Robinson catch,
- 25:07Speaker 1: go up, bring it down, go get it. I agree
- 25:10Speaker 1: with that, John Yeah, and I like the like celebration. Um,
- 25:17Speaker 1: you know it's uh, we're in such a quick trigger,
- 25:22Speaker 1: quick to criticize deal. Now, people writing this guy off
- 25:28Speaker 1: after one week when you actually had a couple of
- 25:31Speaker 1: decent catches. Um, they signed this guy for reason. They
- 25:34Speaker 1: signed this guy for that. I don't I said during
- 25:37Speaker 1: the offseason, I don't have many yards. He's gonna have
- 25:39Speaker 1: to see how many touchdowns. But moments like that are
- 25:43Speaker 1: what without him you don't have. And it's easy to say, well,
- 25:50Speaker 1: let's just draft guys and have been We saw yesterday
- 25:55Speaker 1: why it's scary to have rookies in big games. Early
- 25:58Speaker 1: DJ Chark with a had been a very costly fumble.
- 26:02Speaker 1: He's going to be very, very good. He's not ready
- 26:05Speaker 1: to be Donte moncrieff level of production yet. I think
- 26:09Speaker 1: eventually he'll be better than Donte Moncrief. But right now
- 26:12Speaker 1: for this team, you need what Donte Moncrief gave you
- 26:14Speaker 1: on that play well, and he had a chance to
- 26:16Speaker 1: give you a huge play late in the ball game too,
- 26:18Speaker 1: and Blake put the ball on the spot and he
- 26:19Speaker 1: just it was kind of over the shoulder. It wasn't
- 26:21Speaker 1: an easy catch and probably, yeah it was in his hands,
- 26:25Speaker 1: he probably should have called it. I don't think he's
- 26:26Speaker 1: gonna go to the Pro Bowl, but you have to
- 26:29Speaker 1: have certain skill sets and things that you can go
- 26:33Speaker 1: to in moments, and that's what he brings you. Well,
- 26:36Speaker 1: I guess what I say by that is is that
- 26:37Speaker 1: there's as good as he was moment yesterday, there's a
- 26:40Speaker 1: chance for to be better. Absolutely. Yeah, there's things that
- 26:42Speaker 1: he can fix, that's for sure, all right. Next highlight
- 26:45Speaker 1: could be the catch of the season, at least so far.
- 26:47Speaker 1: In week two down, I want to say, if you're
- 26:50Speaker 1: back in the middle, I don't. Bellcrode is a great
- 27:03Speaker 1: just across the field and in the end zone. I thought,
- 27:07Speaker 1: did he really hold onto that? Did he get it in?
- 27:10Speaker 1: And afterwards I said to him, I said, that's the
- 27:13Speaker 1: new Odell Beckham Jr. And he looked at me, he
- 27:15Speaker 1: goes nah. I said yeah, and he said, no, that's
- 27:18Speaker 1: Randy Moss right there. Um, he's a Randy Moss fan. Uh,
- 27:22Speaker 1: he wears Randy's number. What what do you say about
- 27:26Speaker 1: that other than it didn't happen. I don't believe it happened.
- 27:30Speaker 1: I mean, because he can't help your breath after that catch,
- 27:32Speaker 1: thinking oh God, is he gonna drop this the ground?
- 27:35Speaker 1: It's not possible. I actually got a text or a
- 27:39Speaker 1: email from an zone reader with that email attached and
- 27:43Speaker 1: say can you explain this? And and you can't because
- 27:47Speaker 1: it really defies the lots of physics. Uh, there's probably
- 27:50Speaker 1: a little bit of like, I mean, when you make
- 27:52Speaker 1: a catch like that, there has to be a little
- 27:53Speaker 1: luck in the way that it's still but unbelievable and
- 27:56Speaker 1: actually said it might. It's it's definitely a catch of
- 27:58Speaker 1: the year so far, and there's going to be a
- 28:00Speaker 1: better one. It's going to be on a rush. Boy,
- 28:03Speaker 1: that could be one clearly better than that at all.
- 28:06Speaker 1: That was huge. And right after that first intent, after
- 28:09Speaker 1: that great catch, Cole comes big again from targets first
- 28:13Speaker 1: down from the Patriots four going this time so much
- 28:20Speaker 1: more comes catch and that when he high fives security
- 28:25Speaker 1: guard way up the tunnel. Well, first of all, cool
- 28:28Speaker 1: Cool has a superstar personality. The guy is absolutely a
- 28:31Speaker 1: great kid. Uh And to see him do well. Everyone
- 28:35Speaker 1: in this building that knows him is thrilled for the
- 28:36Speaker 1: guy from Kentucky Westleyan Well, and they've loved this guy
- 28:40Speaker 1: since he got here. In the off season when people
- 28:43Speaker 1: talked about where they gonna do a receiver, Um, I
- 28:47Speaker 1: actually heard there were people who in o t a
- 28:50Speaker 1: s wondering if he would make the team this year,
- 28:52Speaker 1: you know, and it was like, make the team. He's
- 28:56Speaker 1: their next star. Did you not see the way he
- 28:57Speaker 1: played last year? That's the same tunnel he ran up
- 28:59Speaker 1: the best against. Watched this He has the wherewithal not
- 29:04Speaker 1: only half the security guard, but he tossed the ball
- 29:06Speaker 1: into the stands as he's going underneath with a very
- 29:08Speaker 1: small margin. Freyer, it was. It was a terrific celebration,
- 29:12Speaker 1: probably even as good as the guitar. Real subtle there
- 29:16Speaker 1: it see. I don't think this could be pre planned.
- 29:19Speaker 1: I think here he had lived this. He sudden there
- 29:22Speaker 1: was how he waited to put his arms out to
- 29:26Speaker 1: announce the arrival of the ball until the very last second.
- 29:29Speaker 1: For a young receiver. That was a very savvy of
- 29:31Speaker 1: veteran move because the received the corner wasn't alerted to
- 29:35Speaker 1: the presence of the ball and by the way the
- 29:37Speaker 1: ball was thrown on a dime and significant for him.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Those were two really good plays. Uh, it didn't stop
- 29:46Speaker 1: there for him. Yesterday he also had a huge I
- 29:49Speaker 1: want to say it was third down, but it was
- 29:51Speaker 1: a big moment where he got open on a little
- 29:55Speaker 1: out route about twenty years down field for for what
- 29:57Speaker 1: at the time was a big play. He also had
- 29:59Speaker 1: a you ds on crossing routes. If the statu heard
- 30:03Speaker 1: is correct, I think he's had three d yard games
- 30:05Speaker 1: in his last four Uh. Don't forget with this guy.
- 30:09Speaker 1: He did almost nothing for five or six games last year.
- 30:12Speaker 1: So the stats that he's compiled, the things that he've done,
- 30:15Speaker 1: he's done have all been within the context really of
- 30:18Speaker 1: one season. I believe in his last x number of games.
- 30:23Speaker 1: He's close to a thousand yards for a sixteen game period. Um,
- 30:28Speaker 1: if everything you're hearing about this guy and seeing about
- 30:30Speaker 1: this guy is correct, he may be their next star,
- 30:34Speaker 1: all right. Later on in the game a third and
- 30:36Speaker 1: thirteen Austin Seferian Jenkins, they got to convert in the
- 30:39Speaker 1: boat strikes again third three portals what's lots jickens So
- 30:50Speaker 1: you could just see yesterday there was a third down
- 30:55Speaker 1: and nine conversion to a s J. There were a
- 30:59Speaker 1: couple of conversions. The relationship that we talked about him
- 31:02Speaker 1: going to quarterback meetings and and them working on the
- 31:05Speaker 1: sidelines throughout camp and the preseasons was on display. There
- 31:09Speaker 1: was a comfort level between those two guys. More of
- 31:11Speaker 1: that to come this fault. You see, that's his first
- 31:14Speaker 1: look right out of the pocket. He's automatically looking for
- 31:16Speaker 1: him much and it was and he's looking for because
- 31:20Speaker 1: that's what was scheme to be Um. I assumed incorrectly
- 31:26Speaker 1: that it had there had to have been offensive past
- 31:29Speaker 1: interference on the play because you don't see a tight
- 31:32Speaker 1: income that wide open. And I was incorrect, which I
- 31:36Speaker 1: usually am not in correct, but it uh it again.
- 31:40Speaker 1: I thought that play, much like the Mercedes Lewis touchdown
- 31:44Speaker 1: last year in the championship game. Speaks to all offensive
- 31:49Speaker 1: corners get a lot of criticism when things don't go
- 31:52Speaker 1: right because a big time game from Nathaniel Hackett, who
- 31:56Speaker 1: has shown time and time again that he is very
- 32:00Speaker 1: capable of scheming big time games in big time situations
- 32:05Speaker 1: against big time teams as J just making plays and
- 32:08Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett taking full advantage of him as we saw
- 32:11Speaker 1: right here, and we're not going to see the get off,
- 32:13Speaker 1: so to speak. But he's five yards opened past the corner,
- 32:17Speaker 1: so big play there and more to come from a
- 32:19Speaker 1: s J this fall. Yeah, you were waiting for him
- 32:21Speaker 1: to make a big time play like that. You knew
- 32:23Speaker 1: what was going to happen in the preseason, but for
- 32:25Speaker 1: it to happen in the regular season finally, especially in
- 32:27Speaker 1: front of your home flans, like this is why he's here,
- 32:30Speaker 1: all right, onto the defensive side of the ball. This
- 32:32Speaker 1: guy said earlier in the week, I'm going to make
- 32:33Speaker 1: a play that is going to change the game, and
- 32:36Speaker 1: it certainly did. Brady does Jackson recovering, and from that
- 32:48Speaker 1: angle you get the great view of just how difficult
- 32:52Speaker 1: it was for him Fowler Jr. That is to get
- 32:56Speaker 1: away from waddle the right tackle and at the ball.
- 33:00Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's amazing. Look at him holding
- 33:02Speaker 1: him back. He's trying to pull him back, and he recovers.
- 33:08Speaker 1: I got in the locker room late, and uh I
- 33:11Speaker 1: had a chance to talked Dante, just me and him
- 33:14Speaker 1: for a few minutes about that play. He said, First
- 33:17Speaker 1: of all, I asked him, did it seem like it
- 33:19Speaker 1: took you forever to get the ball? And I was
- 33:22Speaker 1: talking about when he was being held. He thought I
- 33:26Speaker 1: was talking about the contact with the ball in the
- 33:28Speaker 1: fumble and he said yeah. He said, yeah, it felt
- 33:32Speaker 1: to him he saw the ball out, he said, it
- 33:34Speaker 1: felt like I was never going to get there because
- 33:37Speaker 1: it started going in slow motion. And then he kind
- 33:39Speaker 1: of laughter. He goes, I really didn't feel like I
- 33:41Speaker 1: hit it that hard. Was it was sort of like
- 33:43Speaker 1: a little love pat and the ball came out, And
- 33:46Speaker 1: then he said yeah, once he was on the ground
- 33:48Speaker 1: and his shoulders were being held, he said, it felt
- 33:50Speaker 1: like minutes until that ball. This is why you don't
- 33:56Speaker 1: cut or trade good football place and this is why
- 34:01Speaker 1: that play right there. Think about this now. The interception
- 34:04Speaker 1: set them up first and ten down eleven points at
- 34:07Speaker 1: the twenty five yard line with umen minutes to go
- 34:11Speaker 1: in the ball game. Plenty of time for Tom Brady.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Plenty of time for Tom Brady. Three plays later, he
- 34:16Speaker 1: basically ends the ball game. Didn't quite end it, but
- 34:19Speaker 1: end the ball game by giving the ball back to
- 34:21Speaker 1: play Boardles in company with that kind of a play
- 34:23Speaker 1: gave him back their mojo in the game. Yeah. I mean,
- 34:26Speaker 1: that's why somebody that play right there, he's an absolute lion,
- 34:30Speaker 1: and that is why someone is going to pay him
- 34:32Speaker 1: big money. It's why what he does. And everybody always
- 34:36Speaker 1: asked what you know? They they focused on what he's not,
- 34:41Speaker 1: and he's not your Van Miller guy, number three overall
- 34:45Speaker 1: pick in the draft. But I've always said if last year,
- 34:49Speaker 1: when this defense plays well, it has that avalanche star mentality,
- 34:54Speaker 1: like it looks like there's fourteen guys out there. He
- 34:58Speaker 1: when he's not on the field with a it doesn't
- 35:01Speaker 1: look as intimate. And maybe it's because he didn't know
- 35:03Speaker 1: where he's going. I mean, maybe he's just running around
- 35:06Speaker 1: crazy making plays, but somehow he's he's throwing his arms
- 35:10Speaker 1: around the balls coming out guys are getting hit hard
- 35:13Speaker 1: when he's around. He's a huge factor for why this
- 35:16Speaker 1: defense is frightening. I get it. Von Miller is super
- 35:19Speaker 1: Bowl m v P. You know, one of the great
- 35:21Speaker 1: players in the game in the last twenty years. However,
- 35:24Speaker 1: when they were here, when the Broncos were here in
- 35:27Speaker 1: he did nothing until one series in the fourth quarter
- 35:30Speaker 1: and it was bang bang bang, game over with. And
- 35:33Speaker 1: that's what he did on that one play. I know
- 35:35Speaker 1: there's a disparity there in terms of production, but he
- 35:38Speaker 1: gives you the ability to have that kind of a
- 35:40Speaker 1: performance where when the game is on the line, that's
- 35:43Speaker 1: the guy. That's why he's getting paid. It's gonna be
- 35:45Speaker 1: interesting to watch him this year because he has been
- 35:52Speaker 1: progressively better. Missed the first games. We didn't talk about him.
- 35:55Speaker 1: A whole lot uh a lot ahead for him, and
- 35:59Speaker 1: you know, I wonder if he's not going to be sneaky,
- 36:01Speaker 1: really really really good this year. Earlier in the week
- 36:03Speaker 1: I asked him in an interview. He said, you had
- 36:05Speaker 1: the come out game in the FC Championship game. Are
- 36:07Speaker 1: you going to perform at that level consistently? Are you
- 36:09Speaker 1: able to? He says, I'll play like that the rest
- 36:11Speaker 1: of my career. Here we go. This is how I'm
- 36:12Speaker 1: gonna show us right and he did. He did yesterday
- 36:15Speaker 1: the last highlight back onto the offensive side the ball,
- 36:18Speaker 1: first and ten, first play of the drive, near the
- 36:20Speaker 1: end of the game, and Westbrook just makes one move
- 36:23Speaker 1: and it's over. So now still throwing him and Considerabile Jacksonville.
- 36:30Speaker 1: This's just Westbrook still about kids. You know this morning
- 36:42Speaker 1: there there are national writers and common commentators who are
- 36:47Speaker 1: talking about, you know, if the Jaguars get this kind
- 36:50Speaker 1: of quarterback play, but if the Jaguars get this kind
- 36:53Speaker 1: of game planning, because that was scheme right there. And
- 36:55Speaker 1: then you've got guys like Keelan Cole, indeed Westbrook that
- 36:59Speaker 1: we all know have made great progress this team, as
- 37:03Speaker 1: you said, it's their time. And when you get these
- 37:06Speaker 1: guys making places like that, what a huge play in
- 37:09Speaker 1: the fourth quarter when they needed something and what it
- 37:13Speaker 1: was going to correct Ashley because she said one movement
- 37:15Speaker 1: it was all over. One movement wasn't all over. Because
- 37:19Speaker 1: the healing Cole, who every time you used to talk
- 37:22Speaker 1: about markis Lee being a good blocker, people with sort
- 37:27Speaker 1: of discounts, who cares to he's a good block right
- 37:30Speaker 1: right there is you know, as big. If they don't
- 37:34Speaker 1: score there, I get it that they're probably gonna win it,
- 37:41Speaker 1: but putting the foot on the throat at that point,
- 37:45Speaker 1: the Helan Cole moment. That's where huge plays come from,
- 37:48Speaker 1: is with effort down the field. And if if there
- 37:51Speaker 1: was a play that sort of defined that game to me,
- 37:54Speaker 1: it was Helan Cole spark by the way, that is
- 37:56Speaker 1: what Westbrook did at Oklahoma. He took the bowl on
- 37:59Speaker 1: shore routes and ran by people and wow, the play
- 38:05Speaker 1: making ability that he has. And now Nathaniel Hackett has
- 38:09Speaker 1: said I'm going to be aggressive. I'm gonna stay aggressive. Um,
- 38:14Speaker 1: don't forget those two guys, Clan Colan, d D Westbrook
- 38:16Speaker 1: big factors. When Blake talked early in training camp about
- 38:22Speaker 1: their knowledge of the offense being so much more at
- 38:25Speaker 1: the end of last season, their knowledge of the offense
- 38:27Speaker 1: wasn't where it is now. They're a much better equipped
- 38:30Speaker 1: team to continue attacking, attacking, attacking than they were in
- 38:33Speaker 1: the playoffs last year. And they can do it, both
- 38:35Speaker 1: of them. I mean, you mentioned that there was a
- 38:37Speaker 1: five or six game stretch before Kelan Cole started to contribute.
- 38:40Speaker 1: Westbrook was on injured reserve. He didn't come until November.
- 38:43Speaker 1: Westbrook still essentially a rookie. Yeah, we take a break,
- 38:50Speaker 1: we come back. Ozone snapshot NFL headlines Next on Jack's

- 40:26Speaker 1: Or you can add someone else to the equation in
- 40:30Speaker 1: the comments section and we'll have it all day long.
- 40:32Speaker 1: JP will update it throughout the course of drive Time,
- 40:35Speaker 1: not drive Time Happy hour this evening, so expa time
- 40:41Speaker 1: for ozone snapshot we needed. I was zoned for a
- 40:47Speaker 1: little while, but back well, right, I mean zone to
- 40:50Speaker 1: zoning out. Well, if your zoning isn't it ozone by default?
- 40:55Speaker 1: Fair point? Fair point, It's all right. Let's go with
- 40:58Speaker 1: j B from Jackson Ill. Just how good is Keeling Cole?
- 41:02Speaker 1: Why wasn't he drafted? Well, it wasn't drafted because he
- 41:05Speaker 1: went to Kentucky Westley and uh, and you know I
- 41:08Speaker 1: was standing next to him in the locker room. It
- 41:10Speaker 1: was probably after you talked to him, Brian and Uh.
- 41:12Speaker 1: They were asking him about the crowd in the game.
- 41:15Speaker 1: They don't get that for the the Alfred State, he said,
- 41:18Speaker 1: he goes, he goes. I can't give you any perspective
- 41:21Speaker 1: on crowds. I was playing for I was playing in
- 41:24Speaker 1: front of a hunter people two years ago. He goes,
- 41:27Speaker 1: I can tell he's pretty cool. Yeah. So the the
- 41:31Speaker 1: adjustment that he's made, uh, is made you know, how
- 41:35Speaker 1: good is he? I think his chance to be really good.
- 41:37Speaker 1: And we talked about earlier. This is a guy who
- 41:40Speaker 1: literally did nothing for five or six games to the
- 41:43Speaker 1: point where you sort of wonder does he belong? And
- 41:46Speaker 1: they never lost sight of him. Uh. You know, he's
- 41:50Speaker 1: got that kind of speed and they always loved his speed.
- 41:54Speaker 1: But not only this, but the play in the end zone,
- 41:58Speaker 1: the touchdown. He's not just speed. He's making some catches
- 42:02Speaker 1: that are interesting in terms of where is he going
- 42:05Speaker 1: to fit among the league's best receivers because he might
- 42:08Speaker 1: be heading So let me ask you this question. How
- 42:10Speaker 1: many players do you know that can make that catch? Well,
- 42:14Speaker 1: there are lots of great athletes, don't get me wrong,
- 42:16Speaker 1: but that that isn't just about being a great athlete.
- 42:19Speaker 1: That's about reaching for the ball, having big hands. I
- 42:22Speaker 1: get all of that, but that twisting and then able
- 42:25Speaker 1: to control the ball. That's not an every receiver kind
- 42:29Speaker 1: of and there's probably not one guy on every team
- 42:31Speaker 1: that can make that catch. I'm gonna couch this by
- 42:34Speaker 1: saying I don't expect him to make this kind of
- 42:36Speaker 1: catch every week. Well, but who does? But if you
- 42:39Speaker 1: watch practice in the time that we watch, he he
- 42:43Speaker 1: does make some one handed catches pretty routinely, and practice
- 42:47Speaker 1: that that's not a complete flu More impressive is the
- 42:52Speaker 1: play that we just watched in the highlight, because that's
- 42:55Speaker 1: the sort of thing that you can replicate and do
- 42:56Speaker 1: over and over again. And the crossing routes that he
- 42:59Speaker 1: caught yesterday, the way was getting open um. It's great
- 43:02Speaker 1: to have the highlights. Well, what's going to get him
- 43:04Speaker 1: production is some things he did yesterday. I think he
- 43:06Speaker 1: can do consistent. Here's why I bring up how many
- 43:09Speaker 1: guys can do that? Because how many guys have the
- 43:11Speaker 1: upside that he has to be able to make those
- 43:13Speaker 1: kinds of catches. And still from Kentucky Wesleyan be just
- 43:17Speaker 1: a season into this thing in terms of games and productions.
- 43:20Speaker 1: The amazing thing about the catch it almost looked like
- 43:23Speaker 1: he almost double clutched it, like you know, And I
- 43:25Speaker 1: don't know how you double clutch it at that. I
- 43:27Speaker 1: don't understand. I'm not smart enough to understand what happens
- 43:30Speaker 1: or athletic enough to do it, and not athletic enough
- 43:33Speaker 1: to think about it. I would be much less try
- 43:35Speaker 1: to duplicate that I would be injured. Most people would.
- 43:40Speaker 1: Let's go to al and Orange Park. Was that Blake
- 43:43Speaker 1: Bartle's best game as a professional, you know? I think
- 43:47Speaker 1: it has to be considered because of the stage. Forget
- 43:50Speaker 1: the numbers, although the numbers say it's really close, right,
- 43:53Speaker 1: And but I mean he was really good. Remember against Seattle.
- 43:57Speaker 1: He was really good against Pittsburgh in a playoff game. Yeah,
- 44:00Speaker 1: I went back in life, so it's not like he hasn't.
- 44:05Speaker 1: I think what's significant is, like I said, he did
- 44:08Speaker 1: against Seattle, and he against Houston Indianapolis too, But those
- 44:11Speaker 1: were teams that were really struggling. He's done it now
- 44:15Speaker 1: in three really big games. And what is that about
- 44:20Speaker 1: an eight game stretch. That's pretty high percent. So I
- 44:23Speaker 1: went back and looked at the numbers, and and some
- 44:25Speaker 1: of those compared. The Steelers game compares very favorable to that.
- 44:28Speaker 1: And consider that that was obviously a playoff game in
- 44:31Speaker 1: Pittsburgh in the bitter cold. You have to make a
- 44:33Speaker 1: case for that game because he made similar throws. But
- 44:36Speaker 1: in terms of the regular season, that was as good
- 44:38Speaker 1: as he's been and you have to take it into
- 44:41Speaker 1: contextual view and see when he made the throws, not
- 44:44Speaker 1: just how many yards he threw for, and when he
- 44:46Speaker 1: ran for it and the situation that surrounded. I mentioned
- 44:49Speaker 1: that he Moncreef dropped the ball down the field setting
- 44:53Speaker 1: up third down and eight in the fourth quarter, and
- 44:55Speaker 1: the very next play like runs ten yards for the
- 44:58Speaker 1: first down. He took the game on his own shoulders.
- 45:01Speaker 1: And so in terms of the regular season, absolutely his
- 45:04Speaker 1: best game ever. In terms of his whole career, it's
- 45:07Speaker 1: right there with the Steelers performance in Pittsburgh last year
- 45:10Speaker 1: in the divisional round. But I think the best thing is,
- 45:13Speaker 1: you know, the things that he did do not look
- 45:17Speaker 1: like things that he can't replicate, and some of the
- 45:19Speaker 1: things he was doing well such as pocket presents, uh,
- 45:22Speaker 1: seeing the right seeing the right receiver, um, are things
- 45:26Speaker 1: that are going to bode well moving forward. He's not
- 45:28Speaker 1: going to have a game like that every week, but
- 45:31Speaker 1: there are things that he did that make you think, Okay,
- 45:35Speaker 1: this was not a fluke. This is something that he's
- 45:37Speaker 1: building toward and improving, and uh, good for him. Like
- 45:42Speaker 1: the kid a moment in the game that I was like, Wow,
- 45:44Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. Was when he was rushing the first
- 45:46Speaker 1: down into the spin move. That was like, that was
- 45:49Speaker 1: the ten yard. That was the tenure run I was
- 45:51Speaker 1: talking about for you drop the ball and a little
- 45:53Speaker 1: spin move, shake the defender. I didn't love the run
- 45:56Speaker 1: over put the shoulder in. No, but you know that
- 46:00Speaker 1: scares me. But it's what he is. I gotta take
- 46:03Speaker 1: it for what it's worth. All right, let's go to
- 46:05Speaker 1: Brian from Manchester. I wish this was the jogs we
- 46:08Speaker 1: saw every week. When offense is an attack moll with
- 46:11Speaker 1: the defense is when the team is at its best. Yeah,
- 46:15Speaker 1: and I get this is a topic and it's so
- 46:19Speaker 1: hard to re explain this every week and and to
- 46:24Speaker 1: sort of get it through that. They game plan based
- 46:28Speaker 1: on who they're playing what they believe will get them
- 46:33Speaker 1: the best chance to win. So you you don't necessarily
- 46:39Speaker 1: game plan all out throw take chances against every team
- 46:44Speaker 1: because you believe, okay, our best chance to win is
- 46:47Speaker 1: doing this this week there fifteen and eight. With this regime,
- 46:55Speaker 1: I think going if you include Marons last two games
- 47:00Speaker 1: in sixteen and last season in this season, they're good.
- 47:05Speaker 1: They know what they're doing. They have won far more
- 47:09Speaker 1: games than they've lost. They know had a game plan
- 47:13Speaker 1: for this team. I think you'll see them be a
- 47:16Speaker 1: little more aggressive in more situations. I don't think you'll
- 47:19Speaker 1: see this kind of thing every week. They know what
- 47:22Speaker 1: they're doing. I have nothing to add to that. Just
- 47:25Speaker 1: good stuff, keep it going. That's my motto. That's all
- 47:30Speaker 1: I got at all done. That's pretty good. You did
- 47:35Speaker 1: good job, Zone did good? Did alright? When we come back?
- 47:38Speaker 1: Oh no, we've got NFL headlines that let's do that
- 47:41Speaker 1: right now. NFL headlines, And there are some from around
- 47:44Speaker 1: the National Football leaguesterday, and probably none bigger than the
- 47:46Speaker 1: first one, and that is what. How about Vante Davis
- 47:51Speaker 1: retiring at halftime of the Bills game. I couldn't wait
- 47:55Speaker 1: till the game was over to get out of there.
- 47:57Speaker 1: He walked away from football and his teammates in Buffalo.
- 48:01Speaker 1: I get it, it was tough yesterday, but your teammates.
- 48:06Speaker 1: That looks to me like the kind of decision that
- 48:08Speaker 1: he will regret. I hope so, and not not financially.
- 48:12Speaker 1: You can do that, Yeah, yeah, I'll see myself out.
- 48:18Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna he's gonna have to give some
- 48:20Speaker 1: of the money back. The guy was gonna this hasn't
- 48:22Speaker 1: gone well. The guy was in the Pro Bowl three
- 48:26Speaker 1: years ago and at halftime I've never even heard that
- 48:29Speaker 1: abruptly announces his retirement. I like how he said how
- 48:33Speaker 1: he meant no disrespect by it too. What do you
- 48:35Speaker 1: mean you meant no disrespect? There was no respect involved. Yeah,
- 48:38Speaker 1: but you got incredible thinking outside the box. Nobody's done
- 48:42Speaker 1: it before. Go big. He's getting talked about if he
- 48:45Speaker 1: wanted his name off, if you're gonna go out, go
- 48:46Speaker 1: out and stop, I would say he's being talked about.
- 48:49Speaker 1: I don't know whether that style or not. How about
- 48:51Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick or in this case fits and Patrick? Yes, I
- 48:58Speaker 1: thought so too. Last week, UH each threw four touchdown passes,
- 49:02Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick in Tampa and Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City. UH.
- 49:07Speaker 1: This week, Fitzpatrick does it again and then upstages everyone
- 49:11Speaker 1: with his post game press conference attire. And Patrick Mahomes
- 49:16Speaker 1: six touchdowns yesterday in a seven win over Kansas City,
- 49:20Speaker 1: setting an NFL record for most touchdowns in the first
- 49:24Speaker 1: two games of a season and a Chiefs record with
- 49:27Speaker 1: six touchdowns in a game. Can't wait to see him
- 49:31Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. I mean, the guy has
- 49:32Speaker 1: an absolute cannon for an arm and an incredible offensive mind,
- 49:35Speaker 1: Andy Reid, and they're rolling in turns today. He's years old. Yeah,
- 49:41Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to see what teams do to
- 49:45Speaker 1: take what he's doing away, because that happens with quarterbacks.
- 49:48Speaker 1: I think you're seeing it a little bit with Deshaun
- 49:50Speaker 1: Watson some other quarterbacks. But when you have Travis Kelsey
- 49:52Speaker 1: and Tyree Hill and Andy Reid historically is really good
- 49:57Speaker 1: coming out of the box, uh and game playing with
- 50:01Speaker 1: somebody that you haven't seen. Um, I think it was
- 50:05Speaker 1: really good. I think his talent is very high. It
- 50:07Speaker 1: will be interesting to see as as the Jaguars get them,
- 50:11Speaker 1: maybe five or six games in what the book on
- 50:14Speaker 1: My Homes has become. By the way, I love covering
- 50:17Speaker 1: this team. I want to cover Fitzpatrick. Yeah that's fantastic.
- 50:23Speaker 1: Not in the expense of covering this team, but you
- 50:25Speaker 1: mean maybe one game? Yeah with him, I'll fly down. Final. Uh.
- 50:28Speaker 1: Final NFL headline today is Thomas trending upwards? How about this?
- 50:33Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, the second year receiver for the New Orleans
- 50:35Speaker 1: Saints twenty six catches in his first two games, and
- 50:39Speaker 1: he is on pace for nearly two and twenty four
- 50:42Speaker 1: receptions in an NFL season. That would be a record.
- 50:44Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, by eight receptions something like that. So, uh,
- 50:51Speaker 1: they narrowly won over Cleveland yesterday. Hearts go out to
- 50:54Speaker 1: the factory of sadness. Yeah, it may have been a
- 50:58Speaker 1: season saver for the Saints. You know if oh and two,
- 51:02Speaker 1: it's a little dramatic called a season. Say, lost to Cleveland.
- 51:06Speaker 1: It's a tough hill. All right, Well, that's all the
- 51:09Speaker 1: cleverness we have an NFL headlines. We take a break.
- 51:12Speaker 1: When we come back, we will give you the results
- 51:15Speaker 1: of the Twitter pool so far and recap he will
- 51:19Speaker 1: he won't? He might? From Friday's program all that more.

- 52:39Speaker 1: us on Jaguars drag time, let's take a look at
- 52:42Speaker 1: our Exfinity player of the game. Pole Lake Barrels is
- 52:48Speaker 1: the player of the game getting on the wagon. How
- 52:51Speaker 1: can you not I know, there were so many huge performances,
- 52:55Speaker 1: but well, you know, you know, you know who would
- 52:58Speaker 1: stand there and argue for himself, the guy that this
- 53:01Speaker 1: week legitimately put to Shaun Gibson with me mentioned him.
- 53:06Speaker 1: Yet he had two catches for fifteen yards, one on
- 53:09Speaker 1: their opening drive for nine yards, one in the opening
- 53:12Speaker 1: minute of the game, and one the rest of the way.
- 53:16Speaker 1: And that is sensational work. It was. I sat there
- 53:19Speaker 1: and listened to Sean for about ten minutes after the game,
- 53:21Speaker 1: and did he stopped? No, It's absolutely fantastic. Reporter walked
- 53:26Speaker 1: up to him and asked, how did you guys stop Gronkowski.
- 53:31Speaker 1: I'm paraphrased, He said, you guys, it was me, but
- 53:35Speaker 1: he and love it. He that's who too, Sean is
- 53:39Speaker 1: and a lot of what he says is very tongue
- 53:42Speaker 1: in cheek. He knows he wasn't the only person to
- 53:45Speaker 1: cover ground, but he took on ground and it was
- 53:50Speaker 1: not twenty land on ground. Asked to shown if it
- 53:53Speaker 1: was thirty nine land and he had a big smile
- 53:56Speaker 1: while he was saying no. So I think deep down
- 53:58Speaker 1: he's got a logo going on right now, trying to
- 54:00Speaker 1: figure it out that there was incredible game for him.
- 54:02Speaker 1: There was one in the third quarter right at the
- 54:05Speaker 1: at the pylon. Gronkowski was outside and he stepped inside
- 54:08Speaker 1: and made a great play knocking it was coming right
- 54:10Speaker 1: at me and I wondered, because Gronkowski has such luck,
- 54:13Speaker 1: you don't realize watching him on TV like you do
- 54:16Speaker 1: in person, just how long his arms are. There's a
- 54:19Speaker 1: physical reason why he's as good as there's no doubt.
- 54:21Speaker 1: I mean, he has the kind of body that you
- 54:23Speaker 1: just can't create in the weight room. It's just that way.
- 54:26Speaker 1: And DeShawn is not the longest, your tallest yet he
- 54:29Speaker 1: had an incredible position and knocked the ball away big
- 54:32Speaker 1: time played by him, and Deshan said at one point
- 54:34Speaker 1: he was you know, they were running back and he
- 54:38Speaker 1: was trying to give like, uh, Gronkowski, you think he
- 54:42Speaker 1: was talking, yeah, and and he was trying to congrass
- 54:46Speaker 1: and say, hey, man, I really like coming here or
- 54:48Speaker 1: like covering you and he said across he let me
- 54:50Speaker 1: hang it and like h but he had I mean,
- 54:55Speaker 1: it was fun. It's why they played the game. And
- 54:57Speaker 1: you know it's it's uh as clay As Campbell said,
- 55:03Speaker 1: there are so many guys on this team who are
- 55:05Speaker 1: capable of performances like that. It's it's a rare bunch
- 55:10Speaker 1: to have this many guys who can come up big
- 55:12Speaker 1: the way they can't big yesterday. Alright, time to recap
- 55:15Speaker 1: but Friday's he will, he won't, he might. I'll go first,
- 55:18Speaker 1: go for it. I said Austin Stepari and Jenkins would
- 55:21Speaker 1: be a big part of the game plan, and he
- 55:24Speaker 1: was converting on third downs catching the touchdown pass definitely
- 55:29Speaker 1: a factor in the game plan. I said he wouldn't
- 55:31Speaker 1: drop the ball. He didn't, and I said he'd catch
- 55:33Speaker 1: the game winning touchdown. And technically, since this got them
- 55:36Speaker 1: to twenty one and the Patriots only scored twenty, he
- 55:40Speaker 1: did catch the game winning touchdown. I'll give you credit.
- 55:43Speaker 1: That counts. That was good. I feel good about that.
- 55:45Speaker 1: Good for you. That was my t Shaun Gibson moment
- 55:47Speaker 1: on the show. By the way yourself, Okay, you're next
- 55:51Speaker 1: my he will, he won't, he might? He three as
- 55:53Speaker 1: like to call it now is Miles Jack. I said
- 55:57Speaker 1: he will have a huge game and take advantage of the
- 55:59Speaker 1: the opportunity. Seven tackles, want assists, one of the leaning
- 56:02Speaker 1: tacklers on this defense. I said he had a pretty
- 56:04Speaker 1: good game. I said he won't make it about himself.
- 56:07Speaker 1: The Miles Jack wasn't down. We saw the posters, they
- 56:10Speaker 1: were everywhere, but it wasn't about him. Especially with that focus.
- 56:13Speaker 1: I saw behind the bench with Telvin Smith and Leon Jacobs.
- 56:16Speaker 1: He was focused on the game. It wasn't about him,
- 56:18Speaker 1: and I said, might he might have a game changing moment.
- 56:21Speaker 1: I wouldn't say he had a game changing moment, but
- 56:23Speaker 1: just his presence was felts. Yeah, he had lots of
- 56:26Speaker 1: tackles two out of three, ain't bad. His meatloaf one side.
- 56:28Speaker 1: His presence was a game changing moment because I said
- 56:31Speaker 1: earlier the speed of that linebacker corps uh negated a
- 56:35Speaker 1: lot of what the Patriots like to do. So sometimes
- 56:38Speaker 1: you don't have a game changing play, but the fact
- 56:40Speaker 1: that you're on the field and making teams approach differently
- 56:44Speaker 1: is a huge factor. And I thought Miles Jack was
- 56:46Speaker 1: huge on that. Love al right, wrap us up, John.
- 56:48Speaker 1: I believe I went with Jalen Ramsey. Is that right?
- 56:50Speaker 1: You did? Uh? You know, I kind of missed with
- 56:52Speaker 1: this one because I thought he was gonna cover grounk
- 56:54Speaker 1: a little bit more. But I'll tell you what Jalen
- 56:56Speaker 1: did do. Uh. There were times where he was critical
- 57:00Speaker 1: to their game plan against James White, and that's was
- 57:05Speaker 1: a unique wrinkle that I haven't had had time to
- 57:07Speaker 1: study a whole lot because they have a time to
- 57:09Speaker 1: watch the game again. But my senses that Jalen Ramsey
- 57:12Speaker 1: had a bigger game then people would give him credit
- 57:15Speaker 1: for because he didn't take away a guy one on one.
- 57:18Speaker 1: But again, the presence of these guys is so huge.
- 57:23Speaker 1: I should have gone Blake Bortles because I had a
- 57:26Speaker 1: good feeling all week. Last week I told Ashton on
- 57:28Speaker 1: his own Blitz, I thought he was gonna have a
- 57:30Speaker 1: huge game, and I didn't think it's gonna be that big,
- 57:33Speaker 1: but there was something about this guy when he bounces
- 57:35Speaker 1: back that has become a thing. He was highly optimistic
- 57:39Speaker 1: on Friday. They're gonna win, Blake's gonna play great. This
- 57:42Speaker 1: is gonna be a great Sunday. Yeah, but I can't
- 57:45Speaker 1: take a weak credit. I thought if I thought they
- 57:47Speaker 1: were gonna win by the double digit, the the real chance.
- 57:50Speaker 1: But I thought it was going to take interceptions. I
- 57:52Speaker 1: thought it was gonna take turnovers. I think significant. I
- 57:55Speaker 1: got an email to this, uh effect. Not everything went
- 58:00Speaker 1: their way on Sunday. They had, you know, the Norwhell
- 58:03Speaker 1: penalty in the first half, took away a field goal.
- 58:05Speaker 1: They had turnovers that you felt like we're letting get
- 58:10Speaker 1: back in the game, not everything went their way, and
- 58:12Speaker 1: they still never led by less than ten points after
- 58:14Speaker 1: the first quarter. I've covered a lot of these Patriots
- 58:18Speaker 1: teams games. It takes a really good team to control
- 58:22Speaker 1: them like that. Ten points wasn't enough in the a
- 58:24Speaker 1: f C title game in the fourth quarter, but eleven
- 58:27Speaker 1: was yesterday, and the Jaguars to it all on top
- 58:29Speaker 1: of the standings in the a f C South for
- 58:32Speaker 1: yet another week. Tennessee obviously got the narrow win. We'll
- 58:35Speaker 1: see them here this week. The Colts impressive and going
- 58:38Speaker 1: into Washington and holding them to only nine points, and
- 58:41Speaker 1: obviously Houston on the bad end of the year. The
- 58:43Speaker 1: Tennessee field goal at the end. The division just starting
- 58:47Speaker 1: to heat up. It does for the Jaguars. Sunday, the
- 58:49Speaker 1: Titans here for a one o'clock kick. All right, I
- 58:52Speaker 1: thought you guys were good today. You don't try to
- 58:54Speaker 1: be better on Wednesday. Okay, get it right? Sleep, Yeah,
- 58:58Speaker 1: a little bit of that up late, working hardest working
- 59:01Speaker 1: man in the NFL is basking. That'll do it.
