- 0:28Speaker 1: Happy Thursday morning, to welcome into Jaguars Drive Time, brought
- 0:32Speaker 1: to you by the Fields Auto Group. Starting off your
- 0:35Speaker 1: Thursday with some tunes. I remember that song. What I
- 0:39Speaker 1: remember about that song is when I heard it. It
- 0:41Speaker 1: came out during the playoffs in ninety nine, and the
- 0:43Speaker 1: Jaguars were I still believe we're the best team in
- 0:47Speaker 1: football that year. I know that people said, well, the
- 0:49Speaker 1: Rams won the Super Bowl, Yeah, and the Rams are
- 0:51Speaker 1: really good. Um. But I saw this team, and of
- 0:54Speaker 1: course they lost three times to the Titans, So you know,
- 0:56Speaker 1: Takings fans and people who follow them would say, well,
- 0:59Speaker 1: clearly you were the you couldn't beat them. Um. But
- 1:03Speaker 1: the way this team played mostly they had eleven game
- 1:05Speaker 1: winning street and they were dominant in so many ways.
- 1:08Speaker 1: They just couldn't. You know. They went fifteen and three
- 1:10Speaker 1: and lost all three games the Titans. But when that
- 1:12Speaker 1: song came out, of course they destroyed the Dolphins seven.
- 1:16Speaker 1: That was Dan Marino's last game when the song came out,
- 1:19Speaker 1: I remember thinking, oh, you know, I mean, oh is right,
- 1:24Speaker 1: They're gonna have to eat that one if they don't win.
- 1:28Speaker 1: And then back then we had a newspaper, I mean
- 1:30Speaker 1: Bick Catchman wrote the newspaper, you remember, and it was
- 1:33Speaker 1: called Jaguars Inside Report, and it was literally, you know,
- 1:36Speaker 1: a printed team newspaper. And the cover after the loss
- 1:40Speaker 1: of the Titans in the ANC Championship game said, oh,
- 1:42Speaker 1: comma Jaguars, and Tom Coughlin was hot. He held it
- 1:47Speaker 1: up to that's a shot, Vic, that's a shot, um,
- 1:50Speaker 1: And yes it was, but it was also low hanging fruit.
- 1:54Speaker 1: They took it. So there's the story of Oh Jaguars.
- 1:58Speaker 1: I'm glad I know now because I just always thought
- 2:00Speaker 1: it was a catchy too. No, no, I didn't know
- 2:03Speaker 1: the history behind idea. Reggie, are you ready for big things?
- 2:08Speaker 1: You have some big today. Big thing one is the
- 2:11Speaker 1: black Hole, one of the best environments in the NFL,
- 2:13Speaker 1: and the Jaguars will be a part of history. On Sunday,
- 2:16Speaker 1: playing the last game in Oakland, many of the guys
- 2:19Speaker 1: in the locker room said, yesterday they want to rain
- 2:21Speaker 1: on the Raiders parade and send them out of Oakland
- 2:24Speaker 1: with a loss, including the Big Man. Oh yeah, you know,
- 2:30Speaker 1: you kind of become like, you know, us against the world.
- 2:33Speaker 1: You know, it kind of gives you an energy where
- 2:35Speaker 1: it's like, you know, you know, you only find a
- 2:37Speaker 1: way out of this place, you know. So I think
- 2:39Speaker 1: it will give us a little bit of a spark,
- 2:40Speaker 1: you know, hopefully we can you know, take it and
- 2:43Speaker 1: run with it and finishes your straw. Big Thing too
- 2:46Speaker 1: is revamped lineup, not the revamped you want to see.
- 2:49Speaker 1: This is because of injured reserve, injury list, new guys
- 2:53Speaker 1: in the lineup, especially at linebacker Miles Jack that guy
- 2:57Speaker 1: on injured reserve, Quincy Williams placed on injured reserved yesterday.
- 3:00Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about how this linebacker group is going
- 3:03Speaker 1: to do it with now a whole group of new guys.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Big Thing Three expectations. What is fair for expectations for
- 3:10Speaker 1: this week as the Jaguars fly across the country to
- 3:13Speaker 1: play Oakland. When you are four and nine, it's sad
- 3:16Speaker 1: to say everyone is talking about playing for their jobs,
- 3:19Speaker 1: including the head coach. I think when you get to
- 3:22Speaker 1: these situations and it's it's not rocket science. I mean,
- 3:25Speaker 1: you know, everybody's fighting to maintain to try to stay
- 3:29Speaker 1: in the league. You know, whether it's uh players by
- 3:33Speaker 1: doing a good job, being able to perform so they
- 3:35Speaker 1: can keep a job, or whether it be coaches doing
- 3:37Speaker 1: a good job with their position group, or whether it
- 3:39Speaker 1: be me trying to win football games. You know, I
- 3:42Speaker 1: think that's something that um, you know that we've we've
- 3:45Speaker 1: all talked about. It's sad. It's sad that they are there.
- 3:50Speaker 1: But being in the locker room yesterday, every single person
- 3:52Speaker 1: will get to more of that next segment and around
- 3:54Speaker 1: the locker room, they're all talking about keeping their jobs.
- 3:57Speaker 1: That's where you are. You've been a good team's rad
- 3:59Speaker 1: you've been t didn't have great records, we're coaches were
- 4:02Speaker 1: getting fired as a player. How hard is it? And
- 4:07Speaker 1: how do you keep it all together? You really, you
- 4:11Speaker 1: really just hold on to what you can control. Becomes
- 4:14Speaker 1: just focus. You've got team for a moment, it's about
- 4:17Speaker 1: me doing my job. Yeah, because that's exactly what they're
- 4:20Speaker 1: gonna look at. They're gonna look at who's doing that job,
- 4:22Speaker 1: who's staying professional, who's giving up, who's checking out? And
- 4:26Speaker 1: then I mean the first thing that comes into head
- 4:29Speaker 1: to their head is how much are you making? How
- 4:32Speaker 1: much you're making is it hurting us as a helping
- 4:34Speaker 1: all right? And then when they say, all right, this
- 4:36Speaker 1: person is making as much money, how is this person
- 4:39Speaker 1: playing okay? Because I mean, right now the season is
- 4:42Speaker 1: over and then they just you know, we just have
- 4:45Speaker 1: a few more games. So like now, I really want
- 4:47Speaker 1: to see who's still out their plan, who's still out
- 4:48Speaker 1: there trying to compete, Who in the fourth quarters still
- 4:51Speaker 1: running around giving me maximum effort because I have to
- 4:54Speaker 1: read as as a front office, I have to rebuild
- 4:56Speaker 1: this thing, and I need to get rid of some
- 4:58Speaker 1: some aspects and I need to keep some aspects, and
- 5:01Speaker 1: I had to see who's out there giving me the best.
- 5:04Speaker 1: I can remember. At the end of the O six season,
- 5:06Speaker 1: there were some players and then in the defensive backfield
- 5:08Speaker 1: in particular, who were close to contract incentives. And I
- 5:14Speaker 1: remember the game in Kansas City. You may remember this too,
- 5:17Speaker 1: where you had guys that were going for picks and
- 5:19Speaker 1: giving up touchdowns because they were they were gambling. And
- 5:22Speaker 1: I have a lot of respect for these players personally, Um,
- 5:27Speaker 1: that can happen where you have guys. So that's why
- 5:29Speaker 1: I'm not naming their names. By the way, I don't
- 5:31Speaker 1: want to be pointing out exactly, um, but if you
- 5:34Speaker 1: go back and look, you see that there were a
- 5:35Speaker 1: couple of guys you were close to some incentives and
- 5:37Speaker 1: they went for it. So they did forget about team
- 5:40Speaker 1: and they did lose the game, and I remember the
- 5:41Speaker 1: coaches being incredibly unhappy with that. But how do you
- 5:47Speaker 1: blame them when the game really doesn't mean anything in
- 5:50Speaker 1: terms of the outcome because they weren't going to the
- 5:52Speaker 1: playoffs whether they won that game or not. I mean,
- 5:54Speaker 1: it's the double hit monster here, because I've seen coaches
- 5:57Speaker 1: take players out of the game that's really close to
- 6:00Speaker 1: making an incentive that would hit them hard, like a
- 6:03Speaker 1: two million dollar incentive. This person has one more sack.
- 6:06Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's a game within the game. And
- 6:09Speaker 1: when you're talking about numbers and you're talking about you know,
- 6:11Speaker 1: what to due to the captain, you're talking about having
- 6:13Speaker 1: to pay people, it gets tricky. Now. You know, if
- 6:16Speaker 1: if I'm close to making another half a million dollars, ya,
- 6:21Speaker 1: you better believe I'm gonna gamble and I may do
- 6:24Speaker 1: some things that may you know, cost me a player here.
- 6:27Speaker 1: But you have to think about it. How many people
- 6:29Speaker 1: make a half a million dollars off one player? Hey, look,
- 6:31Speaker 1: it's it's about the money, right and the incentives You're
- 6:36Speaker 1: there for you to go and gat Yeah, I mean
- 6:38Speaker 1: that's what they want you to make these plays, So
- 6:41Speaker 1: you're gonna have to gamble a little bit. Hopefully you
- 6:42Speaker 1: don't kill the team. But when you have, when you're
- 6:45Speaker 1: for and that and you don't really have much to
- 6:48Speaker 1: play for after these few games, this is where you
- 6:51Speaker 1: see players go out and try to improve whatever money
- 6:55Speaker 1: they can get, whatever they can do, especially if you
- 6:57Speaker 1: have a big contract here like you're gonna do. You
- 7:00Speaker 1: want to see them out there playing their hard asn't
- 7:01Speaker 1: trying to get as many steps so they look attractive
- 7:04Speaker 1: for this team or other things. Well, inside a minute,
- 7:06Speaker 1: yesterday was all about Doug's response which you just played,
- 7:10Speaker 1: which I found refreshing because you know, even though it's
- 7:14Speaker 1: the elephant in the room, you know that the coach's
- 7:16Speaker 1: job and all the assistants by the way too. I
- 7:18Speaker 1: can't say that enough. When we talk about the coach,
- 7:20Speaker 1: we're not just talking about Doug Morone. If if he's
- 7:23Speaker 1: feeling the heat every single assistant down to the assistant
- 7:26Speaker 1: special teams, coach, the assistant, equipment, every everybody, everybody, everybody
- 7:32Speaker 1: feels this. So it's not just one guy. And it
- 7:35Speaker 1: gets awkward when you walk around this building because these
- 7:37Speaker 1: are friends, these are people that you talk to, right
- 7:40Speaker 1: and you you don't want, you don't even want to
- 7:41Speaker 1: contemplate what they're going through. However, Doug yesterday stepped up
- 7:45Speaker 1: and gave the obvious answer, which is, yeah, it's Pro
- 7:49Speaker 1: Bowls about the money. And if it's about the money,
- 7:51Speaker 1: it's about winning because there's more money and winning. I
- 7:53Speaker 1: mean one plus two plus three. You just keep adding
- 7:55Speaker 1: it up. It does get to be a difficult thing.
- 7:59Speaker 1: But I really like the way that he answered the question. Yeah,
- 8:02Speaker 1: it's it's a sucking environment where you have to go
- 8:04Speaker 1: to work knowing that you may get fired. No one
- 8:05Speaker 1: likes that feeling. I don't care if you're a janitor
- 8:08Speaker 1: or you're you know, the president of the United States.
- 8:10Speaker 1: It feels terrible when people are calling for your job.
- 8:13Speaker 1: So when Doud comes in here and he just steps
- 8:16Speaker 1: up to the plate and he be and he's honest,
- 8:18Speaker 1: it's refreshing because people want honestly, they want the truth.
- 8:21Speaker 1: They don't want to be lied to, but nevertheless, he
- 8:24Speaker 1: may get fired and that and that affects so many
- 8:26Speaker 1: people down the line. I mean, like people assistance, they
- 8:30Speaker 1: bring their families in, they bring you know, the children,
- 8:32Speaker 1: and they put them in schools and everything, and then
- 8:33Speaker 1: they get fired. You know, four years later they have
- 8:35Speaker 1: to uproot everyone to find a new job. I mean,
- 8:38Speaker 1: that's the nature of the business. But it's just a
- 8:41Speaker 1: lot of things that go into fire and the head coach,
- 8:43Speaker 1: because when you hire a new head coach, he brings
- 8:45Speaker 1: everybody he wants in from trainers to equipment guys because
- 8:49Speaker 1: he has relationships and he wants to be comfortable in
- 8:51Speaker 1: this new job. So it's just it shakes up the
- 8:54Speaker 1: whole building. M Yeah, I think that he or and
- 9:00Speaker 1: I don't know this, but I think here those guys,
- 9:02Speaker 1: the trainers and the equipment guy, they work for the team,
- 9:05Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? And I think that
- 9:07Speaker 1: I don't know that it affects them, but it might,
- 9:09Speaker 1: you know, And and that and that's it's the it's
- 9:12Speaker 1: the doubt that comes in. And the best head coaches
- 9:14Speaker 1: that I've ever been around are those guys who don't
- 9:17Speaker 1: ever talk about themselves, but they talk about their families,
- 9:20Speaker 1: not their family, only their families because they bring these
- 9:24Speaker 1: people in that the relationships that you speak of are
- 9:27Speaker 1: the reason why a guy says, Yep, we'll leave Seattle
- 9:29Speaker 1: and come to Jacksonville. You know, will come and I'll
- 9:32Speaker 1: bring my family, and my wife doesn't want to leave,
- 9:34Speaker 1: and the kids have friends, but we're coming because I'm
- 9:36Speaker 1: coming to work with you. And then you have to say, hey, sorry, um,
- 9:40Speaker 1: you have to leave. I mean that's so when Doug
- 9:42Speaker 1: stood there and comfortable, Yeah, when he answered yesterday, I
- 9:45Speaker 1: was very impressed with his candidate. Let me, actually, is
- 9:47Speaker 1: this an attractive job? The people? I mean the are
- 9:50Speaker 1: there people out there that would love to come in
- 9:53Speaker 1: and take this job? I mean, well, there's there are
- 9:57Speaker 1: a lot of things to like about it, right, I mean,
- 9:59Speaker 1: I lot of people in the NFL that I've been
- 10:01Speaker 1: around and have talked about Jacksonville. It's North Florida. It's
- 10:04Speaker 1: not South Florida. I mean, you came back and lived
- 10:06Speaker 1: here for the reason, right. Uh. The owner is obviously
- 10:10Speaker 1: an incredibly successful business man. You know, they fly on
- 10:13Speaker 1: a big plane. You haven't seen the plane you've heard
- 10:15Speaker 1: of it's unbelievable. Yeah, you've seen the boat. Uh, there's
- 10:21Speaker 1: a lot to like here. But when you don't have
- 10:23Speaker 1: a quarterback, right, I don't know that it is. And
- 10:27Speaker 1: I think that factors into it too. Of course, you know,
- 10:30Speaker 1: we're all trying to guess what Mr Khan is thinking
- 10:33Speaker 1: and where this thing may be headed. We don't know.
- 10:36Speaker 1: We'll see here. I will say this. I read an
- 10:38Speaker 1: article yesterday. It was a really good point. There are
- 10:41Speaker 1: only thirty two of these. Is there such thing as
- 10:43Speaker 1: a bad one? Maybe there might not be a great
- 10:46Speaker 1: one that you can make the argument it's a great opportunity,
- 10:49Speaker 1: every single every single one, because there are only thirty
- 10:51Speaker 1: two of them. And that brings us, by the way
- 10:53Speaker 1: to the black hole where you played plenty of games. Um.
- 10:57Speaker 1: You know, I was in the booth for the first
- 10:58Speaker 1: twenty years of my career, and in the last couple
- 11:00Speaker 1: of years I've been downfield, producing on the sidelines. Um.
- 11:04Speaker 1: I have been astonished at some of the things I've
- 11:07Speaker 1: heard from the crowd, right, because when you're in the booth,
- 11:09Speaker 1: you don't ever hear that. I mean, my ears turned red,
- 11:12Speaker 1: I blushed. I couldn't believe people yell these things. Uh
- 11:15Speaker 1: So I'm anxious because this will be my first trip
- 11:19Speaker 1: there in my role right where I'm doing some different things.
- 11:23Speaker 1: And I've been there plenty of times and I've looked
- 11:24Speaker 1: down and go, man, I'm glad I'm not in no
- 11:26Speaker 1: stands right. Let me give me a story. Tell us
- 11:29Speaker 1: something about the black hole. I can't really tell you anything.
- 11:32Speaker 1: Dump it's it's it's a dump. But I played there
- 11:35Speaker 1: when I was with the Broncos. We played there when
- 11:36Speaker 1: they were really good. They met they had a Super
- 11:38Speaker 1: Bowl run or they Yeah, they play with the Patriots
- 11:41Speaker 1: and they and they got kind of that was it was.
- 11:45Speaker 1: That was a tough one. But when that that that era,
- 11:50Speaker 1: the stadium was packed and I mean you you you
- 11:53Speaker 1: would go in there and they're really close to the field.
- 11:56Speaker 1: The fans are right on top of you, and it's
- 11:58Speaker 1: a wall, and they're really really nasty, and I mean
- 12:03Speaker 1: vogan nasty, not just you know, boom. There are saying
- 12:06Speaker 1: things about your mother, about your children. Will get you
- 12:09Speaker 1: fired if you shed it in the workplace. Yeah, I
- 12:10Speaker 1: mean it's just And then like when you see players reacting,
- 12:13Speaker 1: you see players and you're like, you got to be
- 12:15Speaker 1: a professional. You can't do that, and then you'd be like,
- 12:18Speaker 1: you don't know what he just said about my mother
- 12:20Speaker 1: and what he would do to her. And that's the
- 12:22Speaker 1: type of environment that Oakland is. I mean, they have
- 12:25Speaker 1: some really die hard fans, and I would love for
- 12:28Speaker 1: those type of fans to be right here in jacksonvih
- 12:30Speaker 1: We have very polite and nice fans. Those guys are
- 12:33Speaker 1: like traditionally nasty, like they've seen their parents stuff and
- 12:37Speaker 1: they learned some chance that they have passed down through generations.
- 12:41Speaker 1: And I said this yesterday we had this is where
- 12:44Speaker 1: you wear your helmet on the sideline? Yes, yeah, yes,
- 12:47Speaker 1: I mean they probably you know, thank goodness, they don't
- 12:49Speaker 1: have like glass bottles anything. Everything is poured into a
- 12:52Speaker 1: cut because they used to just throw things and they
- 12:54Speaker 1: I mean like it's like, dude, it's just football game. Relaxed, relaxed.
- 13:00Speaker 1: I did say that. I said, we had MJ. Costa
- 13:02Speaker 1: for Medical Network on yesterday, and I don't know that
- 13:06Speaker 1: you'll have a black hole in that new billion dollar
- 13:09Speaker 1: facility in Vegas because the people who can afford the
- 13:12Speaker 1: tickets are not going to put shoulder pads with spikes
- 13:15Speaker 1: and shrunken heads and paint their face. Yeah, no, you
- 13:19Speaker 1: know that first that first row, no one hit the
- 13:24Speaker 1: front teeth. It was line of the day from Reggie hand.
- 13:30Speaker 1: They'll all have dental plan. That's that's key. That's when
- 13:33Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, that's when you know it's not going
- 13:34Speaker 1: to be quite the same. All right. When we come back,
- 13:37Speaker 1: we go around the locker room, talk much more about
- 13:40Speaker 1: the black hole in the game. Coming up this Sunday,

- 16:39Speaker 1: Because you know, guys have their Twitter accounts, their agents
- 16:42Speaker 1: and their image dang instagrams. That's right. Now, I have
- 16:46Speaker 1: a TikTok. I don't know what that is. You're about
- 16:48Speaker 1: to find good for you. That's amazing. Man like to
- 16:54Speaker 1: be a professional athlete, but still a find of time
- 16:57Speaker 1: to do stuff outside of your job. I mean, yeah,
- 16:59Speaker 1: put some effort in. And he's one of those guys.
- 17:01Speaker 1: You know, there are some guys that play Pro Bowl
- 17:03Speaker 1: there you cornerbacks or short defensive tackles where they walk
- 17:07Speaker 1: into a place and it's like, ohwas he the football player?
- 17:10Speaker 1: You know, when Calais walks onto a military base, right,
- 17:13Speaker 1: there's no mistake, there's no I mean, you're a big guy.
- 17:16Speaker 1: He still getting and you look at that and you go, yeah,
- 17:20Speaker 1: you know, you know what it feels like, huge man? Ye.
- 17:22Speaker 1: I think the biggest difference with him with community events
- 17:25Speaker 1: at least is normally our crew goes to once one
- 17:28Speaker 1: a week and you see guys show up and they're
- 17:31Speaker 1: there and there present, and they're there for a few hours.
- 17:33Speaker 1: When Klis goes like is a production. He makes sure
- 17:37Speaker 1: to talk to every single person. And you know when
- 17:39Speaker 1: it's a Klais community event, you're going to be there
- 17:41Speaker 1: a while because he takes the time to talk to
- 17:44Speaker 1: every single person. It's just it's different. It stands out
- 17:48Speaker 1: there's no one that even comes close. And that's not
- 17:50Speaker 1: a knock to anyone else. It's just those are tough
- 17:53Speaker 1: shoes to fill and there are a lot of very
- 17:55Speaker 1: deserving players around this league. I saw a story on
- 17:58Speaker 1: NFL Network about Chris Long and his water project, and
- 18:02Speaker 1: there's there are a lot of them. I said to
- 18:05Speaker 1: somebody the other day that if I was an NFL player,
- 18:07Speaker 1: I think the thing I would be proudest to wear
- 18:09Speaker 1: on my jersey is that the patch patch that they
- 18:13Speaker 1: get to wear, because um, it signifies something incredible. Absolutely,
- 18:19Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. I mean I wish
- 18:21Speaker 1: that I would have gotten to it. But I wasn't
- 18:24Speaker 1: big on that stuff. I didn't really know about this.
- 18:27Speaker 1: You were involved in the community and stuff. I got
- 18:29Speaker 1: a little bit involved late in my career, but just
- 18:32Speaker 1: being a kid and not knowing too much, you don't
- 18:34Speaker 1: get you don't throw yourself out there. Well I should,
- 18:37Speaker 1: I should. I wish. That's one thing I regret. I
- 18:39Speaker 1: wish I would have threw you're doing it now with
- 18:40Speaker 1: the retired I am doing it now, but no one
- 18:42Speaker 1: knows me. So it's not a fact that the show
- 18:46Speaker 1: you're still doing. You walk into the room, they go
- 18:49Speaker 1: He played for the Jaguars. I know he did Florida
- 18:52Speaker 1: State and and that's and that's that's the thing when
- 18:55Speaker 1: you wear a helmet, right, people don't get to see
- 18:57Speaker 1: your face. Right. I told Shelley, someday people are gonna
- 19:01Speaker 1: say that to you. Didn't you wait a second, But
- 19:05Speaker 1: it happens to everybody. Ted Hendricks one of the greatest
- 19:08Speaker 1: to ever play the game for the Raiders. Just we're
- 19:10Speaker 1: on it. Hall of Famer, you know, All decade team,
- 19:13Speaker 1: all one hundred team, you know, the mad Stork. And
- 19:16Speaker 1: he used to come down here, God rest his soul
- 19:18Speaker 1: for a golf tournament and I got to know him.
- 19:19Speaker 1: He became a friend, and we would go out and
- 19:21Speaker 1: people would look at him and they have no clue
- 19:23Speaker 1: who he was. And then you say, oh, he's Ted Henders.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Oh they didn't know who It's just it's not just
- 19:29Speaker 1: a given. We know who you are. And that's thank
- 19:32Speaker 1: you known. Right here, let's go around the locker room.
- 19:37Speaker 1: Yes we have heard. We are at the point of
- 19:38Speaker 1: the season where players and coaches are talking about their jobs.
- 19:41Speaker 1: But no, going into this week, going into the locker room,
- 19:44Speaker 1: I really wanted to hear from this guy, the Walter
- 19:46Speaker 1: Payton Man of the Year nominee, and what it's like
- 19:48Speaker 1: to play for his job. Sometimes you motivate through fear,
- 19:53Speaker 1: you know, of you know, but I mean this, this
- 19:55Speaker 1: job is a privilege. And history says that teams were
- 20:00Speaker 1: nurse you know. And so when you're part of, you know,
- 20:03Speaker 1: the team that doesn't win too much, you know, there's
- 20:04Speaker 1: a lot of guys end up out of the league,
- 20:06Speaker 1: you know. And so you know, if you want to
- 20:09Speaker 1: keep your job and you know, stay this lead a
- 20:10Speaker 1: little longer, we have to make sure we play good
- 20:12Speaker 1: football and give us put us off a position to
- 20:13Speaker 1: win game. The biggest thing that stood out this job
- 20:17Speaker 1: is a privilege. It's not a given. It's not a given.
- 20:20Speaker 1: And most time they take that privilege away because some
- 20:23Speaker 1: younger kid that's coming up here and he's playing better
- 20:25Speaker 1: than you, and you lose it. He is again, he's
- 20:28Speaker 1: a great example in the locker room because he's the
- 20:30Speaker 1: first one on the field, he's the first one off
- 20:32Speaker 1: the field, he's in the locker room. He's there all
- 20:34Speaker 1: off season. Um, I don't know whether they're going to
- 20:37Speaker 1: keep him or not because his production is tailed off
- 20:41Speaker 1: and he's thirty three and he said scheduled to make
- 20:45Speaker 1: seventeen and a half million next year. Yeah, and he
- 20:48Speaker 1: and the way that gets set up. It's a fifteen
- 20:49Speaker 1: million dollar washed so he's only see what I mean.
- 20:52Speaker 1: You can reach that point in your career Ashland where
- 20:55Speaker 1: you are more valuable for your cap space than you
- 20:58Speaker 1: are for your production and that the top. But he is.
- 21:01Speaker 1: He's one of those guys who is worth every single
- 21:04Speaker 1: penny they paid him. Yeah, I could if they don't
- 21:06Speaker 1: keep MI, I could see him being in like New England.
- 21:08Speaker 1: You know, they would pick him up in the heart
- 21:10Speaker 1: in a heartbeat. He wouldn't make seventeen and a half million,
- 21:12Speaker 1: so you know he wants to be here. Um, we'll
- 21:15Speaker 1: see what they do. We'll see, all right. D J.
- 21:17Speaker 1: Hayden used to play for the Oakland Raiders. Yeah, needless
- 21:21Speaker 1: say they did not bring him back. He's had this
- 21:23Speaker 1: one circle and you can tell he's a little excited
- 21:26Speaker 1: to go this weekend. Yeah, man, it's gonna be It's
- 21:29Speaker 1: gonna be real sweet. You know, I'm excited. You know,
- 21:32Speaker 1: block in this week on technique and everything and make
- 21:36Speaker 1: sure the team come with it. If you had this
- 21:38Speaker 1: one Mark dun calendar all year. Oh yeah, I've been
- 21:40Speaker 1: had this game mark for so for so you know,
- 21:42Speaker 1: I'm excited, man, I can't wait till Sunday when we
- 21:46Speaker 1: go out there to the black Hole for their last
- 21:48Speaker 1: little hurrah, and I'm ready. So after this he goes,
- 21:52Speaker 1: I'm really excited to leave them with a big fat
- 21:55Speaker 1: l Cantle Agi in there that you just left out.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Not to put it in um. This this is a
- 22:03Speaker 1: guy who is a terrific football player. He plays the nickel.
- 22:06Speaker 1: He was overshadowed, obviously by Jalen Ramsey when he was here.
- 22:10Speaker 1: One of the reasons why I think the Jaguars lost
- 22:12Speaker 1: last year was because they didn't on defense. They were
- 22:17Speaker 1: missing him. They were missing DJ Hayde and what he
- 22:19Speaker 1: gave them in that nickel role. And uh, I love
- 22:22Speaker 1: his attitude too. Yeah, and it's nice he's found something
- 22:25Speaker 1: to play for because you don't you're not going to
- 22:27Speaker 1: the playoffs, but you have something like you have to
- 22:29Speaker 1: make small little goals for yourself and this one. This
- 22:31Speaker 1: one of those goals. But he's gonna come out and
- 22:33Speaker 1: play its best because he always wanted, like when I
- 22:35Speaker 1: played the Broncos, always wanted to give it to him.
- 22:37Speaker 1: I just just Mike Shanahan and everything. I was like,
- 22:39Speaker 1: you guys, you know, let me go as far as
- 22:42Speaker 1: you didn't want to match with the Jaguars. Gave me now,
- 22:44Speaker 1: I'm gonna punish you, so every time we play punished them.
- 22:47Speaker 1: But we were out there in a seven and a
- 22:49Speaker 1: way back to back years. I remember those games absolutely.
- 22:51Speaker 1: I do remember you having a little bit he's wearing
- 22:55Speaker 1: the Psycho Bunny on his shirt. Yeah, I put the
- 22:58Speaker 1: bunny up. I don't think. I don't think get tight
- 23:00Speaker 1: enough on that. But but but I remember you having
- 23:02Speaker 1: a looked very similar to that. Yeah, Michael going, it's
- 23:07Speaker 1: not a game for well adjusted men, at least not
- 23:08Speaker 1: a game day. It's not like that's fair, all right,
- 23:10Speaker 1: Josh Allen, we even been impressed by him all year long.
- 23:14Speaker 1: He just gets it. But I was surprised that he
- 23:16Speaker 1: understood this concept of the game. It sounds like Chlais
- 23:19Speaker 1: Campbell might have been talking to him a little bit.
- 23:22Speaker 1: For other people minutes. You know, it's not it's not
- 23:24Speaker 1: as easy. You know, it's still stressful for me at times.
- 23:27Speaker 1: But you know, for guys that you know we've been
- 23:30Speaker 1: around the league, guys a free agent coaching staff that
- 23:33Speaker 1: you know his would have coached or whatever, and they
- 23:35Speaker 1: haven't really as you know, it's the reality of the NFL.
- 23:38Speaker 1: It's not it's not. It's really not easy. It's not
- 23:41Speaker 1: you know, it's not what it really takes out to
- 23:43Speaker 1: be yet. And that's just the hard reality. But it's
- 23:46Speaker 1: the life we live about. So he was asked about
- 23:48Speaker 1: his job security and he said, you know, I'm a
- 23:51Speaker 1: rookie first round picks, so I think I'm okay, but
- 23:54Speaker 1: I still get worried. And he was saying, if I
- 23:56Speaker 1: still get worried, I know this locker room is worried.
- 23:59Speaker 1: He's okay. He's really set the rookie sack record for
- 24:05Speaker 1: the franchise with nine. I think he might have locked
- 24:07Speaker 1: in a spot there. And I'm pretty sure, yeah, he's
- 24:10Speaker 1: penciled in to start. Maybe pen maybe Sharpie can sleep
- 24:13Speaker 1: well at night knowing that you'll have a job next
- 24:15Speaker 1: to right. It would be comfortable. You could go have
- 24:17Speaker 1: a nice offseason. But it was I mean, I thought
- 24:20Speaker 1: he would maybe just dodge the question because the question
- 24:22Speaker 1: has asked. You know, are people starting to get worried?
- 24:24Speaker 1: And for him to stand up there and answer it
- 24:26Speaker 1: means that I think guys are starting to talk to him.
- 24:29Speaker 1: He gets it. He's a lot to ask for a rookie.
- 24:31Speaker 1: He's he's he's a man. He's not one of these
- 24:34Speaker 1: guys that comes in as a kid with a lot
- 24:35Speaker 1: of money. He came in as a man. He's got
- 24:37Speaker 1: a wife and a child. He he grew up figuring
- 24:40Speaker 1: things out, moving from Jersey to Alabama and live with
- 24:42Speaker 1: an uncle. And if you know his story, you understand
- 24:44Speaker 1: he grew up fast and he is a full grown
- 24:47Speaker 1: man at an age where most of us I know
- 24:50Speaker 1: I was, is really just an overgrown boy, very mature
- 24:54Speaker 1: um at that age. He has to understand and mostly
- 24:57Speaker 1: on players do. Eventually you're going to become that person
- 25:00Speaker 1: we're talking about. I don't care how long you're plan.
- 25:01Speaker 1: They're saying tom Brady is playing poorly, and they're, you know, saying, well,
- 25:05Speaker 1: what should we do next year? Tom Brady has been
- 25:07Speaker 1: excellent throughout his career, and they're still having this conversation.
- 25:11Speaker 1: When you play this game long enough, you eventually get cut.
- 25:15Speaker 1: So like have a little respect for the older guys
- 25:18Speaker 1: that are kind of struggling right now, because you know,
- 25:20Speaker 1: you never know when it's gonna be your opportunity, not
- 25:23Speaker 1: for long leg all right, when we come back on Jaguars,

- 27:35Speaker 1: it's got to be tied. JS. We're back Thursday morning,
- 27:49Speaker 1: Jaguar's Drive Time brought to you by the Fields Auto Group.
- 27:52Speaker 1: It is time for Reggie's Reactions. We're breaking down a
- 27:56Speaker 1: positive today. Doug Marron mentioned in his press commerce on
- 27:59Speaker 1: Monday Gardnerman who does not make the same mistake twice
- 28:03Speaker 1: five interceptions, twelve fumbles this season, but none last Sunday
- 28:08Speaker 1: against the Chargers. Garnerman, who talks about his ball security
- 28:12Speaker 1: two hands on the ball through through the pocket. Um,
- 28:14Speaker 1: you know, while you're in the pod and keeping two
- 28:16Speaker 1: hands on that was one of the problems. And then
- 28:18Speaker 1: right as I started to leave the pocket, that was
- 28:19Speaker 1: when the hand would come off and it gets swiped. Um,
- 28:23Speaker 1: you know, just having more of a general awareness of
- 28:25Speaker 1: what's going on around you. So, Reggie, that was a
- 28:28Speaker 1: big topic. When we were told Governerment she would be
- 28:30Speaker 1: the starting quarterback. We all said ball security number one
- 28:34Speaker 1: on the list what he needs to work on, because
- 28:36Speaker 1: at times it was bad. So for the improvement to
- 28:39Speaker 1: be made against the Chargers, obviously he didn't play the
- 28:41Speaker 1: greatest game in the world. But Doug Marone said, you
- 28:43Speaker 1: know that's something we can hang our hat on. We
- 28:45Speaker 1: worked on that last week and it showed. I mean,
- 28:47Speaker 1: I don't think they had a lot to hang their
- 28:49Speaker 1: hat on. And just trying to boost up your young
- 28:52Speaker 1: quarterback and tell him like, look, this is something that
- 28:55Speaker 1: you do well and we can live with this. Not
- 28:57Speaker 1: turning the ball over will give us the opportuny needed
- 29:00Speaker 1: to win. It's a statistic out there to tam that
- 29:02Speaker 1: turns the ball over usually loses the game. So if
- 29:06Speaker 1: we have ball security and you can make some good passes,
- 29:08Speaker 1: will win the game. So he's a young guy. He's
- 29:11Speaker 1: not like Patrick Mahomes where he's you know, throwing the
- 29:16Speaker 1: ball side arm and doing something. He's not that type
- 29:18Speaker 1: of quarterback. He runs with the ball a little bit
- 29:21Speaker 1: and he makes sound throws. Let's not turn it over.
- 29:24Speaker 1: Let's get you a little more confidence, all right. So
- 29:25Speaker 1: he has escapability, which everyone loves, right, everyone remembers the
- 29:29Speaker 1: touchdown in Denver where he went left, he went middle,
- 29:32Speaker 1: he went right, he came back left, and you know
- 29:35Speaker 1: and Quil Armston. So he has escapability, but he doesn't
- 29:40Speaker 1: have trying to think of the right word, leave ability
- 29:44Speaker 1: where he's leaving you behind like Lamar Jackson does. Yeah,
- 29:46Speaker 1: he doesn't have that speed. That's elite speed you're talking about, right, Yeah,
- 29:50Speaker 1: I mean that's like otherworldly speed. So it seems to
- 29:55Speaker 1: figure that he's got to find a way to stay
- 29:59Speaker 1: in the He talked about ball security, up through the pocket,
- 30:03Speaker 1: climbing the ladder with the ball, because if he if
- 30:08Speaker 1: he doesn't stay in the pocket, he's gonna take shot
- 30:11Speaker 1: after shot after shot. Bosha and Ingram and I thought
- 30:14Speaker 1: the offensive blind did a good job against those guys
- 30:16Speaker 1: last week. But you have tandems like that that redirect
- 30:19Speaker 1: and get behind. You don't even see where they're coming.
- 30:21Speaker 1: They stripped the ball and football here. How does he
- 30:26Speaker 1: from your defensive perspective, how does he achieve a place
- 30:30Speaker 1: where he's most effective. I think he should model his
- 30:33Speaker 1: game after like Drew Brees, Like when that came when
- 30:35Speaker 1: we came into the lead, Drew Brees great arm, don't
- 30:38Speaker 1: get me wrong, but he could run a little bit,
- 30:40Speaker 1: he could escape. As he got older, he got smarter,
- 30:42Speaker 1: and like this is one of those scenarios where like
- 30:45Speaker 1: when you get into the NBA, you start dunking the
- 30:47Speaker 1: ball all the time. As you get older, you develop
- 30:50Speaker 1: a jump shot. He is using his legs as while
- 30:53Speaker 1: he's young, as he gets older, getting ridding the ball,
- 30:56Speaker 1: timing with the way I received was stowing the ball
- 30:57Speaker 1: into areas and letting them get there and not taking
- 31:00Speaker 1: those hits. That's how he's going to improve because he's
- 31:02Speaker 1: not like we say, he doesn't have a lead speed,
- 31:04Speaker 1: so he's not going to just run away from laingback
- 31:06Speaker 1: and he does not have a rocket for an arm.
- 31:07Speaker 1: He does not have a rocket for it. So it's
- 31:09Speaker 1: a short accuracy game. It's gonna be his bread and butter,
- 31:13Speaker 1: and that's what they need to focus on. Where they
- 31:15Speaker 1: have timing. They have great receivers with gray hands, and
- 31:18Speaker 1: it's just a possession game. Get a possession, moved the chains,
- 31:21Speaker 1: let's get down the field. So Ashley mentioned that no
- 31:24Speaker 1: turnovers last week, Um, what do you want to see
- 31:27Speaker 1: from him this week? So that next week we're talking about,
- 31:30Speaker 1: oh he got better at this. What's something that you
- 31:32Speaker 1: think based on what you've seen from him this year
- 31:34Speaker 1: he can do better in one week time. I think
- 31:36Speaker 1: that the first drive of the game they went down there,
- 31:38Speaker 1: they look really good. They had a good mixture of
- 31:39Speaker 1: running past and that's why that's all I want to see.
- 31:41Speaker 1: I don't want to see him do anything too crazy
- 31:44Speaker 1: because when he starts freestyle and this thing can go
- 31:46Speaker 1: south fast. So I'd rather them like their their first
- 31:50Speaker 1: scripted plays look great as a as as an offense
- 31:53Speaker 1: and then afterwards and they've done with their script kind
- 31:56Speaker 1: of falls the unravels. So I don't know what they
- 31:58Speaker 1: need to do as far as coaching, but they just
- 32:00Speaker 1: need to make him comfortable where he doesn't have to
- 32:02Speaker 1: take too much of the pressure. Yeah, it was almost
- 32:05Speaker 1: stung around and mentioned I think it was two weeks
- 32:07Speaker 1: ago that they tried to work on his internal clock
- 32:09Speaker 1: and they were working on it in practice, and that
- 32:11Speaker 1: seems like something he still needs to work on because
- 32:13Speaker 1: it's like the minute pressure hits he has. That's a
- 32:17Speaker 1: young quarterback, I mean, and I think it's a young
- 32:21Speaker 1: quarterback that's trying to do too much. Like you are.
- 32:23Speaker 1: You're you really want to make every play, that touchdown play.
- 32:26Speaker 1: You don't need to throw the ball away. Well here's
- 32:27Speaker 1: hope for people. Go back and watch the third game
- 32:31Speaker 1: of the ninety five season, Mark Burnell's first started the
- 32:33Speaker 1: Jack Wars quarterback, and anytime there was a flash of
- 32:37Speaker 1: green in front of him, he took off running. And
- 32:39Speaker 1: I can remember Matt Robinson, broadcast partner at the time,
- 32:42Speaker 1: he is saying, stop, here's your receiver getting up And
- 32:45Speaker 1: they had no receivers and Jimmy Smith had an eld
- 32:48Speaker 1: it for two seconds. But here's Desmond Howard and he's
- 32:50Speaker 1: coming across the middle of you. Just hold it for
- 32:51Speaker 1: another half second, get rid of the ball. But Carlton
- 32:54Speaker 1: hassel Rigg, who was a big, big defensive player for
- 32:58Speaker 1: the for no, I got it wrong. He was an
- 33:01Speaker 1: defensive player, he was an offensive guard. There was a
- 33:04Speaker 1: there and that's age right. You can make fun of
- 33:06Speaker 1: me for that. There was there were a couple of
- 33:08Speaker 1: jets that were just in his face all day long,
- 33:11Speaker 1: and uh and so he wanted to run. Well, he
- 33:13Speaker 1: developed into a pocket pastor. We saw that. The next
- 33:15Speaker 1: year he led the league in passing yards. I think
- 33:18Speaker 1: you become a pocket passer when you feel comfortable with
- 33:21Speaker 1: your online You feel like you may see a flash
- 33:23Speaker 1: of color, but you have confidence that that flash of
- 33:26Speaker 1: color is going to get ran past you. You can
- 33:28Speaker 1: stay right here in this pocket, step up and deliver
- 33:31Speaker 1: the ball. And once he has more confident they have
- 33:34Speaker 1: more chemistry. I think they will see that pocket pass.
- 33:37Speaker 1: I've been as critical as anyone about the guard play
- 33:41Speaker 1: this year. I thought it's been too leaky in past protection.
- 33:43Speaker 1: But last week they did a really good job with
- 33:44Speaker 1: the redirect stuff. Uh. This week there's a new center
- 33:47Speaker 1: because Brandon Lender's you know, not gonna play um. So
- 33:51Speaker 1: I'll be interested to see how it all comes together.
- 33:54Speaker 1: It doesn't. It doesn't when you had a new center
- 33:56Speaker 1: this late in the season, it's it's usually a recipe
- 33:58Speaker 1: for this. It's not all right. When we come back,
- 34:01Speaker 1: we wrap up Jaguars Drive Time with a couple of

- 36:19Speaker 1: Jack's Drive Time, brought to you by the Fields Auto Group.
- 36:21Speaker 1: As we wrap up this fine program, I said, an error.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Brandon Leader's not playing. I don't know that yet. I
- 36:28Speaker 1: just saw the injury report and I thought maybe he wasn't.
- 36:31Speaker 1: I don't know that for sure. Yeah, I was panicking
- 36:34Speaker 1: interview with him on Friday. This is our script. And
- 36:37Speaker 1: at the bottom of the question, I looked down and
- 36:39Speaker 1: I said, oh, the questions are there. I have not
- 36:41Speaker 1: read them either. Just give me that paper. Okay, here
- 36:45Speaker 1: we got not Sidney didn't give me the paper, all right,
- 36:51Speaker 1: Ashlan ask number one who takes advantage of a hostile
- 36:56Speaker 1: violence environments on Sunday and plays Ah, who uses that
- 37:04Speaker 1: as fuel to their fire? Maybe a guy that i'd
- 37:10Speaker 1: have a screw a little loose. It's it's you know what,
- 37:14Speaker 1: it's just coming undone. They all do at some point.
- 37:17Speaker 1: They all do. All right, I'm ready let's not have Okay,
- 37:24Speaker 1: well I was going to fill the space. Yeah, go
- 37:26Speaker 1: ahead and fill the space. Maybe it comes to me
- 37:29Speaker 1: talking about a screw loose. The guy plays crazy and
- 37:32Speaker 1: all the right ways. I think, Um yeah, No, I
- 37:36Speaker 1: think Unique and got way. If you saw the clip
- 37:37Speaker 1: with him last week, uh, you know, going back and
- 37:40Speaker 1: forth with Philip Rivers, who I've said, he's one of
- 37:43Speaker 1: my favorite players. I love the way Unique plays the game,
- 37:47Speaker 1: and I'm fully on board because Unique somehow monitors this.
- 37:51Speaker 1: Now you get paid. Okay, now you get paid because
- 37:54Speaker 1: they're not paying the corner. He hates to hear that too. Um,
- 37:58Speaker 1: but now he deserves to get paid what he deserve.
- 38:00Speaker 1: Do you pay? But now he gets paid by this team.
- 38:02Speaker 1: And I think Unique loves loves these environments. He loves
- 38:08Speaker 1: to talk it, he loves to have people put a
- 38:10Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder for him. Um, I think he.
- 38:13Speaker 1: I think he rocks it this week. He'll get around
- 38:16Speaker 1: Trent Brown without too much difficulty, and I think he'll
- 38:18Speaker 1: make life miserable. And if the Jaggards are gonna have
- 38:21Speaker 1: a chance to win this game, it's going to be
- 38:23Speaker 1: because Unique and Josh Allen are creating short fields and turnovers.
- 38:26Speaker 1: That's it. That's how they win. Silence the crowd. All right,
- 38:30Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with minho r. You know why because
- 38:33Speaker 1: it's um it's gonna be an insane environment and if
- 38:37Speaker 1: he's a little insane, so you put those two together.
- 38:40Speaker 1: He did have chestnuts on his shoes. Exactly, You're gonna
- 38:42Speaker 1: have a crazy it's gonna be a crazy experience because
- 38:45Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that's gonna be some fans. It's gonna
- 38:47Speaker 1: get in his air, and he's gonna go on the
- 38:48Speaker 1: field and make plays because he wants to come back
- 38:51Speaker 1: to talk trash to those fans because they can motivate you.
- 38:55Speaker 1: They're talking about his mother, So yes, I know. So
- 38:59Speaker 1: he's gonna go back, like did you see that? He
- 39:03Speaker 1: and his dad is going to be there so you
- 39:06Speaker 1: can take on the crowd. He was asked the question,
- 39:08Speaker 1: is your dad like going to wear a Jaguar shirt
- 39:10Speaker 1: a Minshew shirt like he probably shouldn't in garden goes.
- 39:13Speaker 1: Have you seen my day? I think he's fine, represented son.
- 39:17Speaker 1: He's a stocky dude. Alright, Ashal ask number two that
- 39:21Speaker 1: time of year, we got to start asking these questions.
- 39:24Speaker 1: Who's the guy you would be sad to see go
- 39:27Speaker 1: We have to take Kelis out of this one, right, Yes,
- 39:29Speaker 1: that's that's an obvious one for all of us because
- 39:32Speaker 1: everybody would say that it can be a coach, it
- 39:35Speaker 1: can be a player, it can be an employee, it
- 39:39Speaker 1: can even be Joe. He's on the hot seat. I
- 39:42Speaker 1: don't know if you knew who is a guy you
- 39:49Speaker 1: would be sad to sego at the end of the season. Ready,
- 39:53Speaker 1: I'm ready. I'm gonna go with Nick because I think
- 39:58Speaker 1: he's getting the short end of the steak as far
- 39:59Speaker 1: as because he hasn't had a real full season to
- 40:02Speaker 1: display his ability to play. I think that he's not
- 40:06Speaker 1: going anywhere. But I would be sad. It would be
- 40:08Speaker 1: sad to see this man leave because, like when you
- 40:11Speaker 1: only get like three or four games to really prove yourself,
- 40:14Speaker 1: it's just tough. That's a tough that's a tough job interview. So, um,
- 40:19Speaker 1: hopefully next year they have some quarterback competition. I don't
- 40:22Speaker 1: think the fans are gonna like it, but as an owner,
- 40:25Speaker 1: as a coach, you've got to really get this man
- 40:27Speaker 1: opportunity to show that he can play football. I'll go
- 40:30Speaker 1: with a j Boyer down here. I like working. Yeah, Ryan,
- 40:39Speaker 1: I put that up here to get your attention. You
- 40:41Speaker 1: never know, don't feel safe, never don't feel safe. You
- 40:44Speaker 1: never got in this leg um. I like a j Lotts.
- 40:48Speaker 1: I think he is a class person. I think he's
- 40:50Speaker 1: a really good football player. He's not a one um
- 40:55Speaker 1: and I would love to see himpaired if the Jaguars
- 40:58Speaker 1: were to take a corner and there are plenty of
- 41:00Speaker 1: good corners in this draft with a young, talented corner um.
- 41:05Speaker 1: But his salary cap number is fifteen point five and
- 41:09Speaker 1: it's eleven point five and cap savings and you know,
- 41:12Speaker 1: remember we talked about sometimes your cap space is more
- 41:15Speaker 1: valuable than your contribution on the field. And that's not
- 41:17Speaker 1: a knock on him, but I just I really enjoy him.
- 41:21Speaker 1: He's always candid, even when he doesn't want to talk.
- 41:24Speaker 1: If he said I need to talk to you, he'll
- 41:27Speaker 1: stay hold on and he'll come back and he'll do it.
- 41:29Speaker 1: Guys like that are so valuable to a locker room
- 41:32Speaker 1: from our perspective, because they show players how to be
- 41:37Speaker 1: professional that class level. He's a good example. He's taught
- 41:40Speaker 1: Ashton a lot, which is why I think it would
- 41:41Speaker 1: be a shame if she leaves after this, because because
- 41:46Speaker 1: it would be all that time wasted. I guess I
- 41:51Speaker 1: didn't know. Maybe Brian's hearing things. I'm not. They're bringing
- 41:54Speaker 1: in another young girl. I'm not sure any of us
- 41:58Speaker 1: would survive that. All right, we've ended every Thursday show
- 42:03Speaker 1: like this. You both know what's coming. What is the
- 42:06Speaker 1: Jaguars record at the end of the season. All right?
- 42:12Speaker 1: For the fans, who all do we have left? We
- 42:13Speaker 1: are the Raiders. We got the Raiders left. We go
- 42:16Speaker 1: to Atlanta the week after that, and then we take
- 42:19Speaker 1: on the cold Set home for the final game of
- 42:21Speaker 1: the season. Three games left, four and nine. Right now,
- 42:28Speaker 1: you wanted to do You want to give them wins,
- 42:30Speaker 1: but it's so hard. You say yes and then you say, wait,
- 42:34Speaker 1: I can't. Yeah, sadly, that's where we're at, Brian, Yeah,
- 42:42Speaker 1: I mean, I don't mean and this is not my
- 42:44Speaker 1: nature to be pessimistic. I wanted to go with five
- 42:47Speaker 1: and eleven, but you have the Jaguars haven't won on
- 42:50Speaker 1: the West Coast since January of two thousand five, after
- 42:53Speaker 1: the two thousand four season, and they've had plenty of
- 42:56Speaker 1: opportunities out there. So I don't know that I say
- 42:58Speaker 1: that they're going to go take on a raid team.
- 43:00Speaker 1: They're still playing for something. Have you seen the Falcons lately?
- 43:03Speaker 1: I mean they put forty points up last week against
- 43:05Speaker 1: the Panthers. How do you say that you're going to
- 43:07Speaker 1: go in there and win, not what you've lost five
- 43:09Speaker 1: in a row by seventeen points, by an average score
- 43:11Speaker 1: of one to ten. Then I wanted to give him
- 43:13Speaker 1: the Colts game because it was here, and the Colts
- 43:16Speaker 1: have lost three in a row and are playing well.
- 43:17Speaker 1: But they could come in here to play for something.
- 43:20Speaker 1: So I just I think it would be disingenuous for
- 43:23Speaker 1: me to say, well, they'll they'll get one to five
- 43:24Speaker 1: and eleven, even though a couple of weeks ago I
- 43:26Speaker 1: thought they could Yeah, yeah, I thought they could get
- 43:30Speaker 1: get a couple of it did It's it's split Hart,
- 43:32Speaker 1: it is. I think the other thing you have to
- 43:34Speaker 1: take into account here is how many players are are new,
- 43:37Speaker 1: I mean, how many guys they're signing. Like yeah, I mean,
- 43:41Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's it's tough to predict it. Will
- 43:44Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Sae, come on, well you do it? Yeah, exactly,
- 43:49Speaker 1: Like yeah, Bryan asks, and Reggie wants to know. Yeah,
- 43:53Speaker 1: I would love to know. I mean, if you look
- 43:55Speaker 1: at it, like we don't have a healthy thing, we
- 43:58Speaker 1: don't have anything, and we're playing for um. The Raiders,
- 44:02Speaker 1: I mean, they have something they're playing for, like it's
- 44:05Speaker 1: a final game exactly, and they're not gonna want to
- 44:07Speaker 1: lose that one because they're gonna want to send their
- 44:09Speaker 1: home base of fans off for the victory. They'll be
- 44:12Speaker 1: throwing seats out of the stands, batteries. And then you
- 44:15Speaker 1: go to Atlanta and they're really good at home, they're
- 44:18Speaker 1: really good on turf, and we we are just not
- 44:20Speaker 1: even playing well. That's how we're losing. I mean, if
- 44:23Speaker 1: you look at it, we have no defense, the offense
- 44:27Speaker 1: is very barely putting up any points. You just can't
- 44:30Speaker 1: if you're a betting person, you can't comfortably say we
- 44:33Speaker 1: have a win out of these last three games. The
- 44:34Speaker 1: culture player, you know, they're playing poorly, but they always
- 44:38Speaker 1: play us well. And then and they may be playing
- 44:41Speaker 1: for something and that old line just dominates something. I
- 44:44Speaker 1: can't say that they're gonna win a game. Now, you
- 44:46Speaker 1: want the positive out of this. A wise man once
- 44:50Speaker 1: said to me, if you're gonna stink, stink, right upside.
- 44:54Speaker 1: The upside of this is the Jaguars are climbing in
- 44:56Speaker 1: the draft order and that is so important to get
- 44:59Speaker 1: what they want. Uh. Coaches don't want to hear that.
- 45:01Speaker 1: Players don't want to hear that. Somewhere, general manager is
- 45:04Speaker 1: just quietly, yeah, that's right, smart general manager saying we'll
- 45:08Speaker 1: take it. We'll tell you take it. Take it. It's
- 45:10Speaker 1: you if you want the Rams to lose at this
- 45:13Speaker 1: point without playoffs for you, you you want your Jacks to like,
- 45:16Speaker 1: I mean, the potential this same really getting some great
- 45:19Speaker 1: draft picks and some good movement is awesome, but I'll
- 45:22Speaker 1: take this. How about play well and lose on the
- 45:23Speaker 1: last second field goal where you have a chance to win.
- 45:28Speaker 1: Let's have a competitive game into the fourth quarter, which
- 45:30Speaker 1: we have not seen since the Jets game. Here. Let's
- 45:34Speaker 1: not have a walkout when people just walk like. I
- 45:36Speaker 1: can't take anymore of this. We're playing too poorly. I
- 45:38Speaker 1: need to go. It's not a good football team, but
- 45:40Speaker 1: they can play better than they have. And if it's
- 45:44Speaker 1: a close game, if it's a close game, because the
- 45:47Speaker 1: Raiders aren't great, the Falcons aren't great, and the Colts
- 45:49Speaker 1: obviously aren't playing great. Then maybe this kid quarterback can
- 45:53Speaker 1: do what he does, which is pull a play out
- 45:55Speaker 1: of his hat. Maybe he can be the game. Maybe,
- 45:58Speaker 1: but I'm not willing. But I'm not willing to say maybe.
- 46:01Speaker 1: To the two wins, I don't blame not yet. I
- 46:04Speaker 1: don't blame you. I'll ask don't Worry'll ask you the
- 46:06Speaker 1: same question next week. Alright, perfect, you get the same
- 46:08Speaker 1: answer if you can play a loop of it the
- 46:13Speaker 1: same show. All right, And that is our show, Jaguars
- 46:16Speaker 1: Drivetime Thursday morning. Stay tuned for Jaguars Happy Hour and
- 46:20Speaker 1: The Dug mor Own Show later on this afternoon
