Speaker 1: tape on the nine six loss. Look forward to the

Speaker 1: Jets just a little bit. We've got the rest of
1:22
Speaker 1: the week to do that. By the way, Drive Time
1:24
Speaker 1: on Wednesday's brought to you by Duval Motor Company discovered
1:27
Speaker 1: the difference at any of their four locations Cassid Avenue,
1:31
Speaker 1: Atlantic Boulevard and in Gainesville. Um gosh, where to even
1:37
Speaker 1: begin this morning? There's so much to talk about. Let's
1:39
Speaker 1: start with big thing number one. The number one like
1:43
Speaker 1: it has been for I don't even know how long
1:45
Speaker 1: now is Leonard Slake. That's gonna be the big thing
1:47
Speaker 1: probably all week. And this is huge now coming into
1:49
Speaker 1: the Jets game because we saw the absence of Leonard
1:52
Speaker 1: for net against the Titans. Doug Brown addressed the media
1:54
Speaker 1: yesterday and said it's going to be day to day
1:56
Speaker 1: this week. Feel good about his health and arn a
2:00
Speaker 1: chance to play in this week. I mean, I mean
2:03
Speaker 1: every week I go in today, I was optimistic two
2:05
Speaker 1: weeks ago. You know, Um, I'm just gonna analyst one
2:08
Speaker 1: day to day, you know, I UM, I have no
2:12
Speaker 1: particular insight on Leonard for Nett's injury. I don't think
2:15
Speaker 1: anybody does. And you saw the coach's reaction right there.
2:19
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm starting to get, the sense of, oh right,
2:22
Speaker 1: Leonard used the word popped the first Thursday after that
2:26
Speaker 1: opening game, popped, and I went, you know, they said
2:29
Speaker 1: it was minor. Doug said he felt good and optimistic
2:32
Speaker 1: about what I hed popped. I went, yeah, this this
2:34
Speaker 1: might take a little bit. Then he practiced all week, right,
2:36
Speaker 1: and I thought, okay, where's that pop coming? They didn't
2:39
Speaker 1: play uh, And now Doug rolls his eyes and says,
2:42
Speaker 1: day today, I'm wondering if this isn't more serious um
2:46
Speaker 1: than any of us. No, not so serious that Leonard
2:49
Speaker 1: can't practice, but not quite so optimistic, so minor that
2:54
Speaker 1: he isn't ready to go. Because look, just my perspective,
2:57
Speaker 1: if he was really really close, he's probably in uniform
3:01
Speaker 1: on Sunday for a game against the Titans in the Division,
3:04
Speaker 1: a team that Doug set afterwards, we knew we struggled
3:06
Speaker 1: to score against on these guys and a team that
3:09
Speaker 1: knows how to play you. My optimism for his availability
3:14
Speaker 1: is diminished somewhat because, and again, different players different times.
3:19
Speaker 1: But I remember when Fred had the hamstring injury in
3:24
Speaker 1: UH in Cincinnati and it for six games over the
3:27
Speaker 1: rest of the season, it was is he isn't he
3:30
Speaker 1: will he won't eat Candy Canty the rest of the
3:33
Speaker 1: whole way, and you reached that point where you realized
3:35
Speaker 1: it is day to day you don't know whether he's
3:37
Speaker 1: going to play or not. And these guys know enough.
3:41
Speaker 1: In fact, Kevin Kaplan one day that he was in here,
3:43
Speaker 1: I said, what's the best way to treat a hamstring injury?
3:46
Speaker 1: Kevin Caplan and the j O I. You guys see
3:48
Speaker 1: him and hear him all over the place. One of
3:50
Speaker 1: the better orthpedic doctors that I've ever talked to. He
3:53
Speaker 1: he gets how to explain it. He said, it's just rest.
3:56
Speaker 1: It's simple, it's rest. You have to let the muscle heal. Okay,
4:01
Speaker 1: well it's been two weeks. Yeah. It just again, no
4:05
Speaker 1: particular insight whatsoever other than history being my guide on
4:10
Speaker 1: this one. I just I wonder if this isn't going
4:13
Speaker 1: to be something that stretches into October. Now I agree
4:15
Speaker 1: with you. I think the biggest thing was the uniforms.
4:17
Speaker 1: Like you mentioned, if we're playing the Titans. It's a
4:20
Speaker 1: huge game, you know, you struggle offensively with them, and
4:22
Speaker 1: he's sitting on the bench not in any sort of
4:25
Speaker 1: a uniform. And that kind of concern me because if
4:28
Speaker 1: he was close enough to go, you would think he
4:30
Speaker 1: would be in a uniform just case T. G. T. J.
4:32
Speaker 1: Yelden gets hurt, right, you know, And with Yelden and
4:35
Speaker 1: I saw him, he had a little swing pass to
4:37
Speaker 1: the outside and he got dinged on the plane went okay,
4:40
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you saw it as well, and then
4:42
Speaker 1: he didn't come back in for a couple of plays.
4:43
Speaker 1: They worked him out. Um, you're perilously thin if T. J.
4:47
Speaker 1: Yelden is right, because I think we've established the Corey
4:51
Speaker 1: Grant for all the things that he does. Is a
4:53
Speaker 1: package player in compliment too for net and yelled and
4:57
Speaker 1: Brandon Wild just simply hasn't done it. So Leonard le
5:00
Speaker 1: continues to be the story here. Look, last week we
5:04
Speaker 1: were all in awe of what the offense did without Leonard.
5:08
Speaker 1: In fact, we we questioned, okay, so where does Leonard
5:10
Speaker 1: fit in? How much does the creativity go? And you
5:14
Speaker 1: saw Nate Hackett's reaction. He couldn't believe we were even talking.
5:18
Speaker 1: And of course then Mike vrabel in Dean Peace came
5:22
Speaker 1: in here with Tennessee and they showed you how important
5:25
Speaker 1: it is because with a better front seven, they were
5:28
Speaker 1: able to take away what the Jaguars did so successfully
5:31
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. They took away the crossers, they took
5:34
Speaker 1: away Corey Grant. They were sure handed and tackled him.
5:37
Speaker 1: Now go deep. The receivers weren't as sharp on their
5:40
Speaker 1: routes as they needed to be, for Net changes everything
5:44
Speaker 1: with respect to how a defense has to respect it.
5:47
Speaker 1: He's that powerful, he's that explosive. He changes everything. They
5:51
Speaker 1: need to have him. Can they find ways to win
5:53
Speaker 1: without him? Yeah? Will they be as good? Is the
5:55
Speaker 1: margin for error narrow? Oh? Yeah, yeah, it's really narrow
6:00
Speaker 1: without him. They need him back on the field. Just
6:03
Speaker 1: wondering here on a Tuesday when that's going to be,
6:06
Speaker 1: because if he was close, I would have thought they
6:08
Speaker 1: might have put him on the field on Sunday. Yeah.
6:09
Speaker 1: And I have a feeling we're not going to get
6:11
Speaker 1: much more insight into this because I feel like Doug
6:13
Speaker 1: Morone two weeks ago, he was so optimistic. He kept
6:16
Speaker 1: using the word optimism and then he didn't play, and
6:18
Speaker 1: then he didn't play again. So I feel like Doug
6:20
Speaker 1: is going to be very day to day and he's
6:22
Speaker 1: going to stick to that statement. Coaches love to play
6:24
Speaker 1: games with the injury report. They love They love to
6:26
Speaker 1: be able to stretch it and use it and make
6:29
Speaker 1: your second guess. Um, I believe Doug when he says
6:32
Speaker 1: that he doesn't play those games. I just can't. And
6:34
Speaker 1: I thought maybe he was the first week, second week.
6:36
Speaker 1: I don't think he was. His reaction yesterday I was
6:40
Speaker 1: standing right in front was so genuine right that I
6:43
Speaker 1: realized that he doesn't know either. He's really relying on
6:47
Speaker 1: the process to play out day to day, week to
6:49
Speaker 1: week with the doctors and the trainers and the whole staff.
6:51
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't know, that means no one else knows. No.
6:54
Speaker 1: So Leonards like continues to be our biggest thing here
6:57
Speaker 1: as we wait to see when he will be available
6:59
Speaker 1: to go. Here's the other thing to take into account. Right,
7:01
Speaker 1: he could have a great week of practice. They could
7:02
Speaker 1: say all right, let's go, and then the third or
7:05
Speaker 1: fourth run of the game, here we go again. Right,
7:08
Speaker 1: that was Fred. That's the last thing you want to happen. Absolutely.
7:12
Speaker 1: He knew at some point that the leg or he
7:15
Speaker 1: felt I should say that the leg was good enough
7:17
Speaker 1: for him to go, and then he would go and
7:19
Speaker 1: here it would go again. It would be would crop
7:21
Speaker 1: up again. So you know their philosophy and and and
7:24
Speaker 1: what uh Dr Kaplan and Scott and uh Milo and
7:29
Speaker 1: all the different entities back there, a medical training Milo
7:33
Speaker 1: with the strength and conditioning program and Dr Kaplan overseeing
7:36
Speaker 1: the whole thing. You know they're doing the best they can,
7:39
Speaker 1: but at some point the muscle heels and there's they
7:43
Speaker 1: can do. All right, So we hate to belabor the point,
7:45
Speaker 1: but Leonard's leg will continue to be one of the
7:47
Speaker 1: big things, um until it stay tuned. All right. Big
7:51
Speaker 1: thing too is rookie rebound. This Sunday, you're gonna have
7:54
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, the rookie quarterbacks sensation coming into the stadium
7:58
Speaker 1: with the Jets. We haven't really seen a lot from
8:00
Speaker 1: him though, we haven't seen him take a lot of chances.
8:02
Speaker 1: But you see quarterbacks like Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield
8:05
Speaker 1: have that breakthrough game. You saw Josh Allen have the
8:08
Speaker 1: breakthrough game against the Vikings, and you hope that this
8:11
Speaker 1: is not Sam Donald's breakout game on Sunday. No, you know,
8:13
Speaker 1: he's throwed five interceptions. He's been sacked seven times. Uh
8:17
Speaker 1: and throwing interceptions. He you know, the first night against
8:20
Speaker 1: the Lions, you look like a prodigy. The game plan
8:21
Speaker 1: was set up for him to have success and the
8:24
Speaker 1: Lions had their issues that evening. Uh. He could played
8:26
Speaker 1: sevent his passes on opening night. And when you watch
8:30
Speaker 1: this kid six four two thirty great arm played in
8:33
Speaker 1: a prose set out in in Los Angeles, he's going
8:36
Speaker 1: to be a terrific pro But he's a rookie and
8:38
Speaker 1: he's looked like a rookie the last two weeks in
8:40
Speaker 1: losses to the Dolphins and last Thursday night the Browns.
8:43
Speaker 1: Here's the thing though, before everyone assumes, and the Draguars
8:47
Speaker 1: have not lost to a rookie since two thousand and fifteen,
8:49
Speaker 1: when Marcus Mariota was her rookie. UM Josh Allen, it's
8:56
Speaker 1: proof enough that you can say, well, look, you get
8:59
Speaker 1: a rookie order back. This week, the Jaguars defense read
9:01
Speaker 1: meat tea off the whole nine yards, Um Josh Allen
9:05
Speaker 1: went into Minnesota and was sensational right high completion percentage
9:10
Speaker 1: through a touchdown pass, ran for two more, took control
9:12
Speaker 1: of the game. It wasn't just the Bill's defense. It
9:15
Speaker 1: wasn't like he could lean on. A top tier defense
9:20
Speaker 1: was the reason they won the game. And Donald was
9:24
Speaker 1: the top prospected quarterback by most people's boards. I know
9:29
Speaker 1: Mayfield went first overall, but when you evaluated this guy,
9:32
Speaker 1: Sam Donald was at the top. Again, its subjective opinion. Uh,
9:38
Speaker 1: but he's definitely talented. He's very, very talented, and so
9:40
Speaker 1: you know he comes in now. He has what I
9:43
Speaker 1: don't think Josh Allen does. I think Josh Allen has
9:46
Speaker 1: a defense that is I was a turmoil, but they're
9:49
Speaker 1: rebuilding it. What they've got New York is completely different.
9:52
Speaker 1: You've got a great player on all three levels and
9:55
Speaker 1: really good complimentary players. Leonard Williams and I have been clear,
9:58
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams was one of my favorite players coming into
10:01
Speaker 1: the two thousand fifteen draft, A two time All Pro
10:04
Speaker 1: in his fourth season. The guy is terrific. The linebacker
10:07
Speaker 1: Darren Lee struggled a bit last year, but the kids
10:10
Speaker 1: are really coming on. And then Jamal Adams, who was
10:12
Speaker 1: for Nets teammate at l s u UM the little
10:15
Speaker 1: bit I've seen in the Jets this year. All I
10:17
Speaker 1: see is Jamal Adams, hit hit, hit, hit hit. It's
10:19
Speaker 1: a well coached defense. Todd Bowles as a defensive pedigree,
10:24
Speaker 1: and that head coach has that defense playing well. Um.
10:27
Speaker 1: I don't think they're running game or their offensive line
10:29
Speaker 1: are nearly as strong as they have been in the past.
10:32
Speaker 1: But that kid quarterback makes everyone better. With that rocket arm.
10:35
Speaker 1: You have got to be aware of where he is
10:38
Speaker 1: and what he's doing. And so the rookie quarterback isn't
10:43
Speaker 1: an issue to me. Maybe on Sunday. I mean, Donald
10:45
Speaker 1: may come in here in complete fifty of his passes
10:47
Speaker 1: and throw three picks against this defense. But just looking
10:49
Speaker 1: at it from the outside in rookie quarterbacks can nip
10:53
Speaker 1: you because because Josh Allen did it last week. Yeah,
10:56
Speaker 1: I don't think it would be an issue, but I
10:57
Speaker 1: do think it's something you have to pay attention to.
10:59
Speaker 1: I remember two weeks I was reading something and they
11:01
Speaker 1: were looking into the next few games for the Jaguars
11:04
Speaker 1: and they were saying, oh, when the Jets Comets rookie quarterback,
11:06
Speaker 1: So no big deal. That was before you saw Josh
11:08
Speaker 1: Allen go into Minnesota and completely run the field on
11:11
Speaker 1: a very similar defense that the Jaguars have. So I
11:14
Speaker 1: think now that Josh Allen did that, everyone is saying, Okay,
11:17
Speaker 1: let's take a step back and take this seriously this week.
11:19
Speaker 1: So last year, the Jaguars saw two rookie quarterbacks. They
11:22
Speaker 1: saw Deshaun Watson for a half, but he got the
11:25
Speaker 1: only touchdown drive and he moved the ball with the
11:29
Speaker 1: Texans against the Jaguars a bit in the second half.
11:32
Speaker 1: They could tell just listen to the way Jalen Ramsey
11:34
Speaker 1: talks about Watson and what he thinks he's going to be.
11:37
Speaker 1: The other one they saw it was another Deshaun. Deshaun
11:39
Speaker 1: Kaiser in Cleveland in November. Uh, not so good. You know,
11:43
Speaker 1: had the touchdown, had two interceptions, was sacked and stripped,
11:47
Speaker 1: and gave up the touchdown to Telvin at the end
11:49
Speaker 1: of the ball game. So this defense should have their
11:53
Speaker 1: way with a rookie quarterback. But just because they should
11:56
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they will. And they won't look at him
11:59
Speaker 1: like a key. And you shouldn't took him like a
12:01
Speaker 1: rookie either. Alright, three, and it's one simple word. It's
12:07
Speaker 1: just relaxed after going into the locker room. Yesterday we
12:10
Speaker 1: heard a few guys that kind of eased our worries
12:12
Speaker 1: you and the league. Jackson said, I think this is
12:13
Speaker 1: a learning lesson for us to lose last year. We
12:16
Speaker 1: took it in stride. Calais Campbell said, good teams don't
12:19
Speaker 1: lose twice. The socker room was still confident. They're still
12:23
Speaker 1: gonna work hard. This isn't the end of the world.
12:26
Speaker 1: There will be a new Sunday soon, right, And it
12:28
Speaker 1: sounds like this is just calming the waters here, but
12:32
Speaker 1: the reality of it is is last year they had
12:33
Speaker 1: that dramatic win with ten sacks and they pounded the Texans, right,
12:37
Speaker 1: and they remember that was the day J. J W
12:39
Speaker 1: took the field with the Texas flag and we were
12:42
Speaker 1: expecting a wave of emotion and the Jaguars in and
12:45
Speaker 1: to pound them. Then they come back and we're still
12:47
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what this team is. They didn't
12:49
Speaker 1: play very well against the Titans, then they went on
12:51
Speaker 1: the road. They pounded the Ravens to seven, dominated that
12:54
Speaker 1: game from the first play to the last in London.
12:57
Speaker 1: Then they came back against the Jets team that people
12:59
Speaker 1: thought was one of the worst in the league. And
13:00
Speaker 1: they got beat in overtime. Then they go on the road,
13:05
Speaker 1: shock us again. Right, they beat the Steelers, really destroy
13:09
Speaker 1: the Steelers that then they come back here and they
13:12
Speaker 1: give up an opening game touch opening kickoff touchdown, and
13:16
Speaker 1: then Leonard takes it back. But they get to fourteen
13:19
Speaker 1: by the Rams. Right then they go and they shut
13:21
Speaker 1: out the cold. So it was it was kind of
13:24
Speaker 1: that way, and I get it. People don't think this
13:27
Speaker 1: team is that team. Doug even said this team eighteen
13:31
Speaker 1: is not the seventeen team. But people who are watching
13:33
Speaker 1: and say, yeah, yeah, yeah, they shouldn't have those ups
13:35
Speaker 1: and downs and ups and downs. And I would love
13:38
Speaker 1: to agree with you on that one, that they should
13:41
Speaker 1: be more consistent. The defense obviously is the offense isn't
13:45
Speaker 1: quite there yet, but relax. There was a caller to
13:51
Speaker 1: the postgame show that said everything must be questioned. Well, look,
13:54
Speaker 1: in the NFL, everything is questioned every week. Nobody has
13:59
Speaker 1: un eyeing loyalty in the building. They're watching the tape
14:03
Speaker 1: and they're looking for a player who can minimize the
14:06
Speaker 1: mistakes and maximize their chance to win. So, yeah, everything
14:10
Speaker 1: is questioned. But this defense held the opponent to nine points. Now,
14:14
Speaker 1: Mariota escaped a little bit. But the jagguars didn't give
14:17
Speaker 1: up big plays against them. They just didn't make that stop. Okay,
14:21
Speaker 1: that happens to but nine points, you know you should win.
14:23
Speaker 1: The offense, the quarterback wasn't the primary issue. The receivers were.
14:29
Speaker 1: There were some breakdowns in protection in the third quarter
14:32
Speaker 1: with a backup right guard. I thought Josh Wells, based
14:35
Speaker 1: on what I've seen, and we'll ask Jeff Loghum in
14:37
Speaker 1: this later, it was pretty solid and he knows he's
14:40
Speaker 1: going to have to be week in and week out
14:42
Speaker 1: for this offense to succeed. But consistency from the offense,
14:46
Speaker 1: if you expected it, and I did a little bit.
14:49
Speaker 1: I expected a better performance this week. Not three seventy
14:53
Speaker 1: two yards and four touchdowns, but I expected more consistency.
14:58
Speaker 1: And perhaps I was foolish to to expect that. I
15:01
Speaker 1: don't know. I think everyone who's watching this would say, yeah,
15:03
Speaker 1: I expected something similar to it too. Not there yet, No,
15:07
Speaker 1: And I don't think we expected them to have the
15:09
Speaker 1: breakout performance that did against the Patriots. But you expected
15:12
Speaker 1: them to score, You expected them to be in the
15:14
Speaker 1: red zone. He expected them to threaten the Tennessee tennant
15:17
Speaker 1: And we're going to talk about receivers in your analysis,
15:19
Speaker 1: and that's a big part of it. Young players who
15:21
Speaker 1: have to get better. Uh, they need Leonard. Did we
15:24
Speaker 1: mention that, Yeah, they need Leonard and obvious and look, hey,
15:28
Speaker 1: Blake had three passes in the third quarter, deflected back
15:32
Speaker 1: to back passes on the same drive by the same player,
15:34
Speaker 1: Brian Rapko. Right, okay, hold on, you gotta dial it
15:37
Speaker 1: in that. That's that's on Blake And and I'm sure
15:40
Speaker 1: he would be the first one to say, well he would,
15:42
Speaker 1: and and that's the point. Everyone was going, whoa hold on?
15:45
Speaker 1: Are we getting the Blake boardles who struggles here all
15:48
Speaker 1: of a sudden, And you know on that series he did. Um,
15:52
Speaker 1: they've all got to play better on offense. They all
15:54
Speaker 1: have to play better on offense. And the guys on
15:56
Speaker 1: defense would say that, they say, we have to play
15:58
Speaker 1: better to yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nine points just fine, Okay, um, great,
16:05
Speaker 1: big things, but calm down, there's plenty of the you
16:09
Speaker 1: know it, there's thirteen games left and this team. I
16:14
Speaker 1: thought you said it in your opening comment and Calais
16:17
Speaker 1: and Malik both did. And and once those two start
16:20
Speaker 1: talking in the locker room. The word spreads like fire,
16:24
Speaker 1: and it is good. Teams don't lose back to back games,
16:29
Speaker 1: So expect this team to come out with a little
16:31
Speaker 1: resolve not to be a back to back problem. All right,
16:37
Speaker 1: we will take a break when we come back. Ashland's
16:39

17:52
Speaker 1: you by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor
17:55
Speaker 1: Vehicles and the Florida Highway Patrol. Welcome back, Jack's Drive
18:07
Speaker 1: Time Tuesday morning, Brian Ashland, Joe somewhere around here, Stone
18:12
Speaker 1: Cold is in the other room punching every button that
18:14
Speaker 1: needs to get punch old, and we will roll right along.
18:19
Speaker 1: Now is the time on this show where Ashland takes
18:22
Speaker 1: center stage. It should be an extra spotlight, right, some
18:25
Speaker 1: big intro fireworks, fireworks, No less, I don't ask that
18:30
Speaker 1: much around here. No, no, no, there's nothing about you,
18:34
Speaker 1: screams Diva right now, all right, Ashland's analysis. So we've
18:38
Speaker 1: seen many, many comments about how the Titans loss. It's
18:42
Speaker 1: Blake Bortle's fault and the offense is fault. Now we
18:44
Speaker 1: do fault the offense. We didn't think they played up
18:46
Speaker 1: to part. But when you looked at miked up with
18:48
Speaker 1: Keel and Cole, you'll see maybe some more insight that
18:51
Speaker 1: gives you some answers, what are we doing is good?
18:54
Speaker 1: We got we gotta like, I gotta light. That's that's
18:57
Speaker 1: two first. Now, I was like, that might skull right here,
19:00
Speaker 1: Chi the driver, So drop balls for the story of
19:08
Speaker 1: the offense, I thought on Sunday and you saw killing
19:11
Speaker 1: Cole and I think it shows a lot about this
19:13
Speaker 1: wide receiver group that they're taking credit for that they
19:15
Speaker 1: know they had to play better. They weren't running Chris routes.
19:19
Speaker 1: There was confusion. It didn't seem like Blake and the
19:22
Speaker 1: receivers had good communication together, and all in all, just
19:25
Speaker 1: not a good day for the wide receivers. No. Uh,
19:28
Speaker 1: by the way, uh miked up on Jaguars dot Com
19:31
Speaker 1: right now and well were the look to understand some
19:34
Speaker 1: of the difficult spots during the game. Um okay, So
19:39
Speaker 1: a week ago we were talking about Keilan and Dedy
19:44
Speaker 1: in particular. At that point, Keilan was the leading receiver
19:46
Speaker 1: ten catches in a touchdown, had the hundred yard day
19:49
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. Deed he had the sixty one yard touchdown.
19:52
Speaker 1: He was second nine catches in a touchdown. And I remarked,
19:55
Speaker 1: and and maybe a little too quickly, that these two
19:59
Speaker 1: young players were emerging just what you wanted to see,
20:02
Speaker 1: young talented playmakers who last year we're probably on the
20:06
Speaker 1: field way earlier than you would have liked them to be.
20:09
Speaker 1: Made some plays in December helped you get where you
20:11
Speaker 1: wanted to go. But now we'd see them through an
20:14
Speaker 1: offseason program, through O T A S and training camp
20:17
Speaker 1: and they would know what to expect. Um, this was
20:22
Speaker 1: the disappointing part of the ball game. That right there
20:25
Speaker 1: that he made that amazing cold dude, that amazing catch
20:28
Speaker 1: on the very sideline, and then that one right off
20:31
Speaker 1: his hands hit his helmet o a bounce. That was
20:34
Speaker 1: the one where you went up, oh, what's going on here?
20:38
Speaker 1: So just looking at the numbers, now, Keelan started nine games,
20:44
Speaker 1: he has nine starts, he's played in nineteen plus all
20:47
Speaker 1: three playoff games last year. But remember two years ago,
20:51
Speaker 1: he was playing at Kentucky Westley just two years ago.
20:54
Speaker 1: So despite the big plays that we've seen from him
20:57
Speaker 1: and the star potential, because he does have star potential,
21:01
Speaker 1: not everybody can make this kind of catch, right, they
21:06
Speaker 1: just they can't. Not everyone can do that. He's got size,
21:08
Speaker 1: he's got speed, he's got incredible athleticism. Um not there yet.
21:14
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't if you're a star, you don't
21:17
Speaker 1: have a game like he had on Sunday, Right, same
21:20
Speaker 1: thing for d d Uh. You know DD has a
21:22
Speaker 1: couple of starts under his belt from last year. Remember
21:24
Speaker 1: he was on injury reserve with the core muscle injury.
21:27
Speaker 1: Um played in all three playoff games. But he is
21:31
Speaker 1: just now right starting to be about halfway to make
21:35
Speaker 1: complete season. And we're looking at a guy who can
21:38
Speaker 1: do so much with the ball in his hands, the
21:41
Speaker 1: body control, this sudden acceleration, the nose for the end
21:45
Speaker 1: zone that he showed on that sixty one was magnificent.
21:48
Speaker 1: There are there are a lot of guys in the
21:50
Speaker 1: NFL that can do that, but not all three, not
21:53
Speaker 1: put it all together like he has. Um. In fact,
21:56
Speaker 1: if he didn't have the trouble that he had at
21:57
Speaker 1: Oklahoma off the field, a much higher draft choice. But
22:01
Speaker 1: a guy who can be a player the Jaguars can
22:04
Speaker 1: count on. But as we saw, not yet. Uh. Dante
22:08
Speaker 1: Montcrief is a player who the Jaguars have a lot
22:12
Speaker 1: of hope for. They paid him nine million dollars. He's
22:15
Speaker 1: been inconsistent the first couple of games. You can't write
22:20
Speaker 1: that off to not having a strong relationship with the quarterback,
22:25
Speaker 1: having a new relationship with the quarterback. Sorry my box fell.
22:28
Speaker 1: He go ahead and I'm holding it up. Here's behind
22:30
Speaker 1: the scenes. This is not miked up, but it's behind
22:32
Speaker 1: the scenes. Some insight here into the Jaguars digital network.
22:36
Speaker 1: But you mentioned consistency with Dante Moncrieff, and I think
22:39
Speaker 1: it showed the entire unit is inconsistent. I think we
22:42
Speaker 1: all need to take fall after the Patriots can remember
22:44
Speaker 1: all three of us. John included said this is the
22:48
Speaker 1: breakout season for d du Westbrook and killing Cole. What
22:50
Speaker 1: a great game or seeing them emerged as leaders were
22:53
Speaker 1: seeing them emerged as top wide receivers and then they
22:55
Speaker 1: didn't play so well last week. We all have to
22:57
Speaker 1: remember where they came from and how little they've been
23:00
Speaker 1: in this league. Here's where you miss Marquis. Uh d
23:04
Speaker 1: d and Heilan both can measure up to to to
23:09
Speaker 1: Marquis in terms of their pure athleticism and their speed. Um.
23:13
Speaker 1: I think that you're starting to see, especially Helan become
23:16
Speaker 1: a better blocker downfield, which Marquis is excellent at Westbrook
23:20
Speaker 1: touchdown that huge block he has absolutely and I know
23:22
Speaker 1: there are gonna be some people who are looking to
23:23
Speaker 1: go whoa whoa whoa. Markis had the drop in New York.
23:26
Speaker 1: That's set up the you know, the laws essentially because
23:29
Speaker 1: in overtime, if he catches that, the Jaguars kick a
23:32
Speaker 1: field goal and they win. Although Jason Myers was still
23:34
Speaker 1: the kicker at that point, not Lambo, so maybe not right.
23:39
Speaker 1: You can throw it around, But Marquis is that guy
23:41
Speaker 1: who was incredibly consistent with his preparation and his effort.
23:46
Speaker 1: Member he struggled with the knee last year, but he
23:48
Speaker 1: practiced every week. Maybe not on Wednesday, but Thursday Friday,
23:52
Speaker 1: he was out on the field and he was consistent
23:56
Speaker 1: in his route running. And that's really what you're lacking.
23:58
Speaker 1: I mean, we still talk, I mean, were about Blake
24:01
Speaker 1: Bordles and consistency. So if we're talking about a quarterback
24:07
Speaker 1: in his fifth season still working to become consistent, why
24:11
Speaker 1: are we surprised when wide receiver from Kentucky Wesleyan is
24:15
Speaker 1: still inconsistent and he's just now coming up on his
24:19
Speaker 1: tenth start, not even a full season yet of starting,
24:22
Speaker 1: and d D same thing coming up on his first
24:24
Speaker 1: full season here, Um we shouldn't be surprised there in case,
24:29
Speaker 1: but it it bears mentioning that this wide receiver Corps talented.
24:35
Speaker 1: How about DJ Shark right well, and that that he's
24:39
Speaker 1: had drops, he's said trouble yet at the fumble last
24:41
Speaker 1: week for Stephan Gilmour made a great play to night
24:44
Speaker 1: he punched the ball out um, which can happen when
24:47
Speaker 1: you got a rookie receiver out there who thought he
24:49
Speaker 1: had the ball covered up. But so for all of
24:51
Speaker 1: the potential, and there is in fact I wrote, I've
24:54
Speaker 1: probably said at one point, this is the most talent
24:58
Speaker 1: that we've seen in the wide receiving Corps in Jacksonville
25:00
Speaker 1: in an awful long time. Marquis and Dante and these
25:05
Speaker 1: two young guys and d J chart uh dark rookie,
25:10
Speaker 1: the other two guys barely through a season of starts,
25:12
Speaker 1: not even there yet, and you combine that with the
25:15
Speaker 1: loss of Marquise pretty significant. Keeno McCardell has his hands
25:20
Speaker 1: full with their spot now. But this group, and you
25:23
Speaker 1: saw Cole sounding like a stage veteran, and I'm sure
25:26
Speaker 1: he's talked to Mark. I'm sure Marquis has talked to
25:29
Speaker 1: all of these guys. They gotta pick it up this week.
25:32
Speaker 1: They have got to against the Jets team that's pretty
25:35
Speaker 1: talented on defense. They have got to be spot on.
25:38
Speaker 1: They've got to have a great day on the practice
25:40
Speaker 1: field Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Heck, I'd be in here today
25:44
Speaker 1: looking at the tape, getting an advanced copy of the
25:47
Speaker 1: game plan. I would be in here working towards this
25:50
Speaker 1: because they let him down. You know, Keenanan is going
25:53
Speaker 1: to hold them to really high standards. And I like
25:54
Speaker 1: what you just said about talent. I do think they're
25:56
Speaker 1: the most talented group we've seen here, but inexperienced. Yes,
26:00
Speaker 1: we have all this talent and athleticism. They're so athletic
26:03
Speaker 1: as a group, but it just haven't had the years
26:06
Speaker 1: and that's just something we have to accept. And so
26:08
Speaker 1: it's a great reason for you to go and watch
26:09
Speaker 1: the miked up piece because it gives you a sense
26:12
Speaker 1: of exactly what these guys went through and what they think.
26:16
Speaker 1: You know, it would have been very easy. In fact,
26:18
Speaker 1: at one point I was thinking, boy Blake is off today.
26:21
Speaker 1: But this is where the analysis pork gets difficult, because
26:25
Speaker 1: you might know what the play is, but you don't
26:26
Speaker 1: know what the specific route is, and then you hear
26:28
Speaker 1: keel and say I should have done this, or you
26:30
Speaker 1: hear Keenan say why didn't you do that? And you
26:32
Speaker 1: get a greater understanding of exactly what went wrong. So
26:36
Speaker 1: while people go well it's at the quarterback, because that's
26:38
Speaker 1: the low hanging fruit, it's a piece like this miked
26:41
Speaker 1: up piece or sounds of the game that takes you
26:43
Speaker 1: behind the scenes so you really understand it. So make
26:46
Speaker 1: the time to go to Jaguars dot com and watch
26:49
Speaker 1: that before next week so you understand it helps you,
26:52
Speaker 1: helps us tell you the story in a much greater way.
26:56
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think there were a few balls where
26:58
Speaker 1: Blake would throw and you be like, god, that was awful.
27:00
Speaker 1: Throw Blake, who are you even throwing too? And then
27:02
Speaker 1: you see Keel and Coal and Mike Up say I
27:03
Speaker 1: ran in the wrong route. I wasn't there. So it
27:06
Speaker 1: is low hanging through and it's for fans watching the game,
27:08
Speaker 1: it's like, Blake, who are you throwing to? What's going on?
27:10
Speaker 1: And that's what happens. If it sounds like we're beating
27:13
Speaker 1: our chest, you bet we are. Nobody tells the story
27:16
Speaker 1: better than we do here on the Jaguars digital network
27:18
Speaker 1: including Off the Field. Off the Field, Yes, so last
27:22
Speaker 1: what is it? Saturday Night? Dave Cobbell and his wife
27:24
Speaker 1: have been involved with Toast of the Animals for five
27:27
Speaker 1: years now. It's an event that raises funds for the
27:29
Speaker 1: medical center at the Jacksonville he Meets Society Take a
27:32
Speaker 1: look Toasted the Animals ensures that every animal has given
27:54
Speaker 1: a second chance. This event's goal was to raised two
27:57
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars, but the Jacksonville he Made Society Jaguars
28:01
Speaker 1: General manager Dave Cobwell and his wife Joel, have co
28:04
Speaker 1: chaired this event for five years. All of the money
28:07
Speaker 1: raised goes towards the Shelters medical Fund, and so many
28:10
Speaker 1: of them come to us with injuries or illness that
28:14
Speaker 1: requires some extraordinary medical care, so everything we raised tonight
28:17
Speaker 1: goes towards that special fund. One of the Caldwell's biggest
28:21
Speaker 1: passions has been helping animals. It started seventeen years ago
28:25
Speaker 1: when we got married. Our our wedding present to each
28:29
Speaker 1: other was we rescued a dog. So that was seventeen
28:32
Speaker 1: years ago. She lived, She lived seventeen years and uh
28:35
Speaker 1: she was a great present. And um, so we always
28:37
Speaker 1: have a special place for us with with animals. The
28:41
Speaker 1: new Humane Society's medical center will be named after the
28:44
Speaker 1: Codwells to honor their constant support of the Jacksonville Humane Society.
28:48
Speaker 1: For Jaguars dot com, I'm Ashlyn Sullivan. Good stuff he
28:54
Speaker 1: also shared with me now at the Caldwell House. So
28:56
Speaker 1: currently two dogs and two guinea pigs that are new.
29:00
Speaker 1: That bears mentioning. A lot of players and coaches do
29:07
Speaker 1: their community work right like this on a Tuesday or
29:12
Speaker 1: in the off season right because they're so focused on football.
29:16
Speaker 1: It takes a lot to be able to do something
29:19
Speaker 1: like this during the season. It shows how much it
29:22
Speaker 1: means today and obviously people see that the j Fund
29:26
Speaker 1: and what what coach Coughlin does with that during the season,
29:29
Speaker 1: their events here in the New York UM. These players
29:32
Speaker 1: can make the time to get out and do it,
29:34
Speaker 1: and they do, which says something about them when they
29:37
Speaker 1: choose to do it during the season. Because Tuesday is
29:39
Speaker 1: their only day off, they are here most of them
29:44
Speaker 1: for part of Tuesday also, so when they choose to
29:46
Speaker 1: take some of that precious time and spending the community, UM,
29:49
Speaker 1: we're not beating the drum for them. It deserves to
29:52
Speaker 1: be told. Great story, good stuff. Alright, we'll take a break.
29:56

33:06

33:07

33:10
Speaker 1: overreaction and to take a deep breath. I'm ready, all right,

Speaker 1: Fans did not like that. F tou Night's nobody. A
33:26
Speaker 1: game that bad does not deserve a player of the game.
33:28
Speaker 1: Despite Clay's Campbell, you sacks, Telvin Smith eight tackles, Josh
33:33
Speaker 1: Lambo two field goals. I get it. The Jaguars lost.
33:36
Speaker 1: Take a deep breath. The defense held their opponent to
33:40
Speaker 1: nine points at one point in the first half. The
33:43
Speaker 1: Titans had minus passing yards, right, Yes, I get it.
33:47
Speaker 1: They gave up a couple of runs that sealed it.
33:49
Speaker 1: But this defense played well. We'll ask Jeff Lockhaman in
33:53
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. Um, We're always, by the way,
33:55
Speaker 1: going to have a player of the game always. We
33:58
Speaker 1: have since with the former bud Light play of the
34:01
Speaker 1: game on the radio, and we have it now with
34:04
Speaker 1: the Exfinity Player of the game. It's sponsored, um, which
34:06
Speaker 1: means gonna be on there. But we had it anyway.
34:08
Speaker 1: Because a loss doesn't mean everybody played poorly. It doesn't
34:12
Speaker 1: mean that because Clay As Campbell didn't, he played very well,
34:15
Speaker 1: and I think did he finish as the player of
34:17
Speaker 1: the game he did. Yes, take your deep breath ft
34:21
Speaker 1: U nits all right? Now. We saw Adam Schefter's tweet
34:26
Speaker 1: about Jets running back Leviyan Bell and the trade rumors
34:29
Speaker 1: of him going to the New York Jets. We see
34:31
Speaker 1: a lot of outlandish comments about, oh my gosh, the
34:34
Speaker 1: Jaguars are screwed now, there's no way they can beat
34:37
Speaker 1: the Jets now that Levian Bell is gonna be on
34:39
Speaker 1: the team Exhibit A. And the comments. I couldn't even
34:45
Speaker 1: pull a few of them because it was all, oh
34:46
Speaker 1: my gosh, the Jaguars there in so much trouble. Now, this,
34:49
Speaker 1: by the way, is one of my NFL headlines. Uh,
34:51
Speaker 1: here's the thing. If Levian Bell was traded, and keep
34:55
Speaker 1: in mind, it's not an easy thing to do, as
34:58
Speaker 1: you may or may not have read, because because he
35:00
Speaker 1: was a franchise player and traded, the team that gets him,
35:05
Speaker 1: be at the Jets or the Niners or whoever gets him,
35:08
Speaker 1: cannot sign him to an extension. He's going to hit
35:11
Speaker 1: the free agent market. He can resign with you then,
35:14
Speaker 1: but he has a shot to go everywhere else. So
35:16
Speaker 1: you're giving up a draft pick to rent a guy. Now,
35:19
Speaker 1: if you're a team that's got a a playoff run
35:23
Speaker 1: in you, that may make some sense. But if you're not,
35:27
Speaker 1: then it makes zero sense. If you're a team with
35:29
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback, it doesn't make a whole lot of
35:32
Speaker 1: sense at all to do that. By the way, he
35:35
Speaker 1: hasn't been a part of an off season program. He
35:39
Speaker 1: wasn't in training camp, he didn't play in the preseason.
35:42
Speaker 1: If he was traded today, there is a zero point
35:46
Speaker 1: zero chance that he would play on Sunday. So take
35:50
Speaker 1: a deep breath. It's gonna be okay, Still have a chance.
35:55
Speaker 1: We need a good sound effect if people breathing. All right,
35:58
Speaker 1: the last one and this we have to put the
36:00
Speaker 1: rough in the pastor call in there because we saw
36:02
Speaker 1: that was probably the trending topic with the NFL this weekend.
36:05
Speaker 1: Boogan McFarland played for the Bucks played for the Colts. Now,
36:08
Speaker 1: an analyst with ESPN says, dear NFL. When the people
36:11
Speaker 1: you made the rule to protect start saying the rule
36:14
Speaker 1: is a joke, it may be time to change the
36:16
Speaker 1: rule for roughing the pastor Rogers am big Ben both
36:19
Speaker 1: said they don't like the rule. Okay, So there's a
36:22
Speaker 1: story in the Washington Post this morning by Mark mask
36:24
Speaker 1: who has been there forever um, where he quotes some
36:27
Speaker 1: unnamed sources saying that they're still gonna call the penalty,
36:32
Speaker 1: but they hope that it will be called slightly differently.
36:34
Speaker 1: There's going to be adjustments made to this throughout the
36:37
Speaker 1: course of the year. Look, what was the first game,
36:40
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame game, where we saw just penalty
36:43
Speaker 1: after penalty after penalty, and we all went, oh, this
36:46
Speaker 1: rule is sun cause some problems this year because it's
36:49
Speaker 1: going to slow down the game. It's going to change
36:51
Speaker 1: the way the guys play defense, which is part of
36:54
Speaker 1: how it's intended. Um, we talked yesterday, right, what was
36:58
Speaker 1: Mollie Jackson supposed to do? Just dropped to the ground
37:01
Speaker 1: when he realized there's there's a chance I might hit
37:04
Speaker 1: this guy's helmet if he tweaks his body and turns
37:08
Speaker 1: to the left at the same time his head. You know,
37:10
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't the physics, the dynamic of it.
37:13
Speaker 1: It's it's fluid. So you take your best chance. And
37:16
Speaker 1: I think I think that you had a guy that
37:18
Speaker 1: was trying to hit to the outside and not make
37:20
Speaker 1: helmet the helmet contact. He's a pretty smart player, right,
37:24
Speaker 1: But the quarterback is in motion, and Malik said he
37:27
Speaker 1: thought that he was going to keep moving away from him, right,
37:31
Speaker 1: so he was trying to tackle him. There's just so
37:33
Speaker 1: much that a defender has to be able to do,
37:36
Speaker 1: to see, to think in advance. It's supposed to be
37:40
Speaker 1: an instinctual position. Right now, you're asking these guys to think. Well,
37:43
Speaker 1: the officials same thing. They've got to be able to
37:46
Speaker 1: see all of these things and think about intent and
37:48
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. They're learning how to call it
37:51
Speaker 1: as well. Right, Um, no problem with the call, not
37:55
Speaker 1: at all. You knew when you knew when he tackled
37:57
Speaker 1: it was going to be if you know this, this
37:59
Speaker 1: could go. No problem. We had no problem with the call.
38:02
Speaker 1: It's just the rule in general is too general, and
38:08
Speaker 1: the things that that can happen, the scenarios that are
38:11
Speaker 1: plausible or possible are too multiple right now. Right So,
38:15
Speaker 1: on Twitter, that was probably the number one trending topic
38:17
Speaker 1: for the NFL this weekend. But I don't think that's
38:19
Speaker 1: to take a deep breath. I think that's a factual statement.
38:21
Speaker 1: And you have guys from the league tweeting it out.
38:23
Speaker 1: It's something's going to have to happen. Well, here's where
38:26
Speaker 1: it is a deep breath, and I agree with you,
38:27
Speaker 1: it's factual. It is a deep breath, and that everybody's
38:30
Speaker 1: just going to have to be patient. We're going to
38:31
Speaker 1: deal with this all season long, so there's no reason
38:33
Speaker 1: to get all up in arms about it. It's not
38:35
Speaker 1: going to go away next week. No. Hey, look, and
38:37
Speaker 1: we're talking about a play that had a dramatic impact
38:41
Speaker 1: on the game here. I don't think I'm out of
38:43
Speaker 1: line if I say that the Jaguars probably win the
38:46
Speaker 1: ball game there, right, if they take possession and they
38:50
Speaker 1: have a short field and they get a touchdown. Now
38:52
Speaker 1: you could argue that, hey, did the Jaguars show you
38:54
Speaker 1: anything offensively that would lead you to believe that they
38:57
Speaker 1: were capable of scoring a touchdown? Yeah, but it was
38:59
Speaker 1: early in the aim. Maybe some things that you know,
39:01
Speaker 1: you just would have had all the moment the energy,
39:03
Speaker 1: the momentum fueled by what the devents had done. I mean,
39:06
Speaker 1: but big play. We're not overreacting to it. We're just
39:09
Speaker 1: gonna have to watch and see and then next offseason
39:12
Speaker 1: when the competition committee gets together, then we might be
39:15
Speaker 1: able to see a little bit of justified reaction to it. Patients,
39:20
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking about this all season long. Nice job,
39:23
Speaker 1: take a deep breath. Tuesday on top tweets. How about
39:27
Speaker 1: the NFL headlines we kind of covered some of these.
39:29
Speaker 1: Will start with the Jets, who made an inquiry as
39:33
Speaker 1: you now know, into Levian Bell. Why is a team
39:37
Speaker 1: that doesn't apparently have a reason to trade make a
39:43
Speaker 1: trade with the rookie quarterback. Not because they're going to
39:45
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and they do have to give up
39:47
Speaker 1: a draft pick and they would have to wait and
39:49
Speaker 1: get this guy again in free agency because they can't
39:52
Speaker 1: eighty million dollars in cap room. The Jets can do
39:55
Speaker 1: nearly anything they want. How about the Ramps right a
40:00
Speaker 1: bit corner this week and they play on Thursday night
40:02
Speaker 1: against the Vikings, who are gonna come in hot after
40:05
Speaker 1: the way that they got pumped at home in the
40:07
Speaker 1: off season. You'll recall they went and made a trade
40:09
Speaker 1: for Marcus Peters and they signed a keep to leave
40:13
Speaker 1: and those two players, by all accounts, have been a
40:16
Speaker 1: huge part of the Rams defense and how well they've
40:19
Speaker 1: played both throughout this week. To leave is gonna be
40:21
Speaker 1: gone for a month with a high ankle sprain. Peters
40:24
Speaker 1: have has a calf strain, and he's look, those things
40:27
Speaker 1: can take weeks, weeks and weeks and weeks. We've seen
40:28
Speaker 1: him before, sometimes four, sometimes six weeks. So they have
40:33
Speaker 1: a very short week this week to figure out what
40:34
Speaker 1: they're going to do. And they've got some time here
40:36
Speaker 1: in front of them where they've got to figure out
40:39
Speaker 1: how to solve a problem. Imagine if you take a J.
40:41
Speaker 1: Boyer and Jalen Ramsey and put them both on the
40:43
Speaker 1: side by, I think that changes the way I think.
40:47
Speaker 1: I think that changes the way that you play. You bet,
40:49
Speaker 1: it changes the way that you play. And finally, and
40:52
Speaker 1: this is in reference to last night, Van Roethlisberger in
40:55
Speaker 1: the postgame show said he was worried about the fans
40:58
Speaker 1: reaction to the roughing the pastor calls. Now, he was
41:02
Speaker 1: hit twice and Ryan Fitzpatrick twice that drove drew flags
41:07
Speaker 1: and it was the first time since two thousand one
41:09
Speaker 1: that you had four roughing the pastor penalties called in
41:13
Speaker 1: the same game. But he was worried about the fans.
41:16
Speaker 1: For the record, he said, the first one he questioned,
41:19
Speaker 1: the second one was absolutely the penalty. So he's grateful
41:23
Speaker 1: that there's a rule out there that is going to
41:26
Speaker 1: protect the passer from taking those hits, but he worries
41:29
Speaker 1: that it will negatively impact the game. Kind of what
41:32
Speaker 1: we were just talking about. Everybody's kind of worried about
41:35
Speaker 1: how it will negatively impact the game. And you can't
41:38
Speaker 1: get too wound up in it. By the way, speaking
41:40
Speaker 1: of the rubbing the pastor calls, William Hayes, the fine
41:43
Speaker 1: defensive alignment for the Dolphins, tore his a c l
41:46
Speaker 1: on Sunday in the Dolphins win over the Raiders, and
41:49
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze said yesterday that it was an awkward landing
41:53
Speaker 1: by Hayes, who was trying to avoid landing and putting
41:56
Speaker 1: all of his weight on the quarterback and drawing or
41:58
Speaker 1: roughing the passer. Penalt be right now, that is a
42:01
Speaker 1: subjective interpretation, but that's what Hayes told his coach, and
42:06
Speaker 1: it's what his coach said to the media, And even
42:09
Speaker 1: if it's only true, it goes to show you just
42:12
Speaker 1: how serious the league is in protecting the quarterback and
42:17
Speaker 1: how players are trying to avoid drawing the penalty. Okay,
42:22
Speaker 1: we need a break. When we returned Cheflanga, he joins us.
42:25
Speaker 1: We'll get his thoughts on Sunday's game and we'll look
42:28
Speaker 1: forward to the Jets on Sunday. That is next on

Speaker 1: Jacks Drive Time rolls along Bryan Sexton, Ashlyn Sullivan and
44:25
Speaker 1: Jeff Logoman Tuesday segment that we enjoyed, really appreciate locks.
44:29
Speaker 1: How are you? How was all access last night? It
44:32
Speaker 1: was good? It was wasn't as crowded as the week
44:35
Speaker 1: before post Patriots victory and then Blake Bordles but uh,
44:39
Speaker 1: but it's great. It was Alstin's ferry. And jenkins Is
44:43
Speaker 1: is a very bright, well spoken guy. He's a go
44:46
Speaker 1: to guy in a joy to talk to. And uh
44:49
Speaker 1: and on top of that, I mean I had this,
44:50
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, when he came in, hard choose
44:53
Speaker 1: to fill somewhat because Marcedes Lowis has been one of
44:55
Speaker 1: the best blocking tight ends in the league for many
44:58
Speaker 1: years and arguably the best blocking tie it end in
45:01
Speaker 1: Jaguar's history, although Kyle Brady was pretty dog one good too,
45:05
Speaker 1: right back to back good blocking tight ends, and and
45:07
Speaker 1: Austin has done a great job of blocking. That's the
45:10
Speaker 1: one thing that I was kind of concerned about that,
45:12
Speaker 1: you know, how do you fill those shoes? And he's
45:15
Speaker 1: done an exceptional job. You know, Marcedes was one of
45:17
Speaker 1: my go to guys. He hey, he was here a
45:19
Speaker 1: long time, so you have time to build a relationship
45:21
Speaker 1: with the But I go to him in the locker
45:23
Speaker 1: room for some perspective, and every time that I put
45:26
Speaker 1: my microphone in front of Austin, he says something that
45:29
Speaker 1: I go Wow, he thinks about it. He's terrific and
45:34
Speaker 1: he reminds me of you, and that he's got a
45:36
Speaker 1: very business like approach to the game. He understands that
45:39
Speaker 1: what he does on the field and what he says
45:40
Speaker 1: in the locker room, you know, go hand in hand,
45:42
Speaker 1: and it's all about the business of the league. Get yeah, Yeah,
45:46
Speaker 1: he unders he understands it. He understands the big picture.
45:48
Speaker 1: And I hope to see him get more involved in
45:52
Speaker 1: the offense as a as a pass catcher because I
45:55
Speaker 1: think that's the one thing that really has been has
45:58
Speaker 1: been missing. And he had an opportunity this past game
46:00
Speaker 1: where you know, you've got a high point ball. You know,
46:03
Speaker 1: defender comes up a Dory Jackson, it's a hitting him
46:05
Speaker 1: before he's able to bring it in. But you know,
46:07
Speaker 1: you would still like to see your guy, big powerful
46:09
Speaker 1: tight end pull that ball in and make that catch somehow.
46:11
Speaker 1: All right. So we were talking about the receivers based
46:14
Speaker 1: on what they said, let's go, let's go at that piece.
46:17
Speaker 1: So you tell me what you saw on the table.
46:18
Speaker 1: I thought they weren't good enough. Okay, you know, pretty simple.
46:21
Speaker 1: You know, you have a wide receiver group that had
46:24
Speaker 1: four drops in the ball game. I thought the route
46:27
Speaker 1: running was sloppy, I thought the blocking wasn't good enough.
46:31
Speaker 1: I think the holding penalty on Dante Montcrieff is a
46:35
Speaker 1: matter of you can't hold the defender when he's starting
46:38
Speaker 1: to pull away. You have to let go and move
46:40
Speaker 1: your feet. That's not hard, that's not hard to understand.
46:43
Speaker 1: And he's a veteran guy. And I think the disappointing
46:46
Speaker 1: thing for me so far with Dante is is that
46:48
Speaker 1: he he is the expected veteran guy that you expect
46:52
Speaker 1: his performance to be better and farther along than anybody else,
46:55
Speaker 1: and it's not. So how does it happen? I'm asking
46:56
Speaker 1: you to interpret because obviously you're not in their meeting room.
46:59
Speaker 1: But these has played so well against the Patriots, and
47:01
Speaker 1: we talked about you know, uh Heiling had ten catches
47:04
Speaker 1: ledger team, DEDI was second with nine. And you're talking
47:07
Speaker 1: about young guys rising to the occasion, and then how
47:09
Speaker 1: does it fall off in a week like that? Well,
47:11
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, first of all, did you
47:14
Speaker 1: know you get your own kind of ego stroked a
47:17
Speaker 1: little bit from all the commentary that you had post
47:20
Speaker 1: Patriots game. I mean, Kilan Cole probably had the worst
47:23
Speaker 1: performance of all the wide receivers this past game, and
47:25
Speaker 1: he was the most talked about coming out of Patriots. So, uh,
47:28
Speaker 1: learning lesson there for a young player. You know, I
47:31
Speaker 1: I don't worry about that group a whole lot, you know,
47:33
Speaker 1: because I think they have one of the best coaches
47:35
Speaker 1: in football and KINGO M. Cardell, who's been there, done
47:37
Speaker 1: that many times. And I think that he'll get them,
47:39
Speaker 1: He'll get them straight. But you know that that's the
47:40
Speaker 1: kind of the path of a young NFL player. It
47:43
Speaker 1: takes time, and I think that group is no different.
47:45
Speaker 1: I think, well, eventually get I'm going. I thought Dedi
47:47
Speaker 1: was pretty good in the game. Keilan was not good,
47:51
Speaker 1: Dante was not great. Uh, d J Chark, I mean,
47:54
Speaker 1: come on, man, you know the moment can't be too
47:57
Speaker 1: big for you at some point. You know, so far
47:59
Speaker 1: in the regular season, at least on offense, it has. Yeah,
48:02
Speaker 1: and he's been very good team being a gunner and
48:05
Speaker 1: all that. And I'm not, you know, picking on the
48:07
Speaker 1: wide receivers to take anything off of Blake Ports because
48:09
Speaker 1: you know, look, he he had some things too that
48:11
Speaker 1: weren't very good. I mean he had two wide open
48:13
Speaker 1: Keeling Coles and one of them he throws it too
48:16
Speaker 1: far out in front. The other one that he throws
48:17
Speaker 1: it behind him where Keilan can't he barely touch it
48:19
Speaker 1: with a finger, you know, so you gotta be better
48:22
Speaker 1: than that. He also had two reads that where he
48:23
Speaker 1: had deep wall opportunities because a lot of people saying,
48:25
Speaker 1: how come the Jaguars didn't go deep? Well, they called
48:27
Speaker 1: it okay, just wasn't there. And a lot of people
48:29
Speaker 1: are criticizing, you know, built uh, the offensive coordinate and
48:33
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett, and I think that's on warranted. I mean
48:36
Speaker 1: if when you when you watch the tape and you
48:37
Speaker 1: see the aggressiveness in which he called that game, throwing
48:41
Speaker 1: on first down past plays, Yes, I mean it was aggressive.
48:45
Speaker 1: It was very similar to the Patriots game. It wasn't
48:48
Speaker 1: executed properly. Because if you look at just the numbers
48:50
Speaker 1: of four drops, two misses, which two open guys easy throws,
48:55
Speaker 1: I mean easy throws, that's six in completions right there.
48:59
Speaker 1: And then you add into the act that there were
49:00
Speaker 1: four tip balls, three and one drive. Now you're talking
49:03
Speaker 1: about eleven and completions, and so there's your game right there.
49:08
Speaker 1: Eleven in completions right there. Yeah, there's eleven opportunities for
49:11
Speaker 1: a drive to continue that didn't and we know the
49:13
Speaker 1: Jaguars didn't get into the red zone. So those numbers
49:16
Speaker 1: volumes the running back group. I thought t J. I'm
49:19
Speaker 1: giving t J credit because you can tell his ankle
49:22
Speaker 1: is not right. Yeah, he got hit on the sideline
49:23
Speaker 1: pretty hard and it was a cheap shot. Shouldn't flag? Yeah, absolutely, yes.
49:28
Speaker 1: It was almost to the other side of the white
49:30
Speaker 1: stripe when he got hit. Corey Grant. I'm I'm like, man,
49:34
Speaker 1: where was the guy that an open space against the Patriots,
49:37
Speaker 1: made moves and made a guy miss and there comes
49:39
Speaker 1: I think it was Logan the cornerback in open space
49:43
Speaker 1: and there's Corey Grant with plenty of room to make
49:45
Speaker 1: a movie, runs right into him. You know. I asked
49:50
Speaker 1: the question, was it the Titan scheme? And obviously Rabel
49:53
Speaker 1: knows this team well from his years in Houston, and
49:55
Speaker 1: Dan ps is a long time NFL coordinator. What was
49:59
Speaker 1: it what they did? Or was it just these guys?
50:01
Speaker 1: And when you look at Corey Grant, you have to
50:03
Speaker 1: go you're one on one. You gotta win that. In
50:05
Speaker 1: that case it was him, Yeah, you gotta win that.
50:07
Speaker 1: And I and I give the Titans credit because you know,
50:09
Speaker 1: they're not a bunch of slappy Defensively, they're good. Okay,
50:15
Speaker 1: they're good, solid group. They have arguably the best defensive
50:18
Speaker 1: one of the best defensive tackles in football. I won't
50:20
Speaker 1: say the best have been going a little bit far,
50:22
Speaker 1: but Drill Casey is a marvelous player. Rack Po and Uh,
50:26
Speaker 1: the guy on the outside from Georgia Tech, Uh is
50:31
Speaker 1: a good football player. They've got a good young draft
50:34
Speaker 1: pick from Boston College is gonna be a look. They've
50:37
Speaker 1: got good players on that defense. So let's attack the
50:40
Speaker 1: offensive line for a moment. Let's go inside out. Because
50:42
Speaker 1: Chris Reid was a late addition with the injury to A. J.
50:45
Speaker 1: Cann it looked like he struggled with Casey in the
50:47
Speaker 1: third quarter. Um, everybody struggles. I want to say this
50:52
Speaker 1: because I had heard, you know that other people said
50:56
Speaker 1: that that Chris Reid did not have a good game.
50:59
Speaker 1: That's garbage. Okay, did he have a bad game, No,
51:03
Speaker 1: did he have a great game, No, But he had
51:06
Speaker 1: a solid game. His performance wasn't hindering you from winning now,
51:12
Speaker 1: So I thought it was a solid performance for him
51:14
Speaker 1: for a guy that has most of his snaps in
51:16
Speaker 1: his career as a left guard, not a right guard.
51:20
Speaker 1: And there's a difference when you play the two of
51:22
Speaker 1: them now that it's you know, it's like being left
51:24
Speaker 1: handed right hand and sometimes for certain guys. I thought
51:27
Speaker 1: he was good. I thought the offensive line as a
51:29
Speaker 1: whole had a winning performance. I thought he was exceptional.
51:34
Speaker 1: You've always liked him, do you? I liked him because
51:36
Speaker 1: you know, one his weakness has always been power and
51:41
Speaker 1: rap Po is a powerful player. He handled it and
51:45
Speaker 1: I give him credit because you know, the week before
51:46
Speaker 1: it was Adrian Clayborne. He handled it. So Josh Wells
51:50
Speaker 1: is I mean gold star? I mean gold star performance
51:54
Speaker 1: for me this past week. I thought Parnell was okay,
51:58
Speaker 1: uh good enough? Um, And I think Norwell got better again.
52:03
Speaker 1: You know, I got better from the first game to
52:05
Speaker 1: the second game, in the second game to the third game.
52:07
Speaker 1: And so the offensive line, to me, don't point any
52:10
Speaker 1: fingers at that group at all. If you're Nathaniel Hackett
52:13
Speaker 1: and Keenan mccartel and even coach marroon this week, what
52:16
Speaker 1: are you telling that offense to step up against the Jets. Well,
52:19
Speaker 1: here's what I hope happens. I hope that first of all,
52:22
Speaker 1: the coaches find a way to get the players step up.
52:25
Speaker 1: But I want to see it come from within. You
52:28
Speaker 1: want to start to see your quarterback, you know, have
52:31
Speaker 1: more expectation out of himself, and then he demands more
52:35
Speaker 1: out of wide receiver group, okay, and then the wide
52:38
Speaker 1: receivers start demanding more out of each other. Because the
52:41
Speaker 1: best kind of leadership and to get in the best
52:43
Speaker 1: kind of production comes from the pressure to perform. That
52:46
Speaker 1: comes from within. And I'm when I say within, I'm
52:49
Speaker 1: talking about peer pressure amongst teammates. That's the best kind
52:52
Speaker 1: that you can have. And hopefully that will happen this week,
52:55
Speaker 1: whether it be defensive players putting pressure on the offense,
52:58
Speaker 1: and that has to be kind of you gotta be
53:00
Speaker 1: careful there because then it becomes kind of like, oh,
53:03
Speaker 1: are you pointing fingers at me? Okay? But there can
53:07
Speaker 1: it can be accomplished without finger pointing. Well, the defense
53:11
Speaker 1: and they didn't say it. If I asked Jalen, I said,
53:14
Speaker 1: you know, is there a do you even look at
53:16
Speaker 1: that or or does that stay away from it? He said,
53:19
Speaker 1: we're staying away from it. And the reality of it
53:21
Speaker 1: is is the expectation. When you're the offense, you have
53:23
Speaker 1: to feel the pressure of having that dominant defense on
53:25
Speaker 1: the other side, and when they give you nine points,
53:27
Speaker 1: you expect to win everything every time. I mean, I
53:31
Speaker 1: mean anything less than seventeen points, Yeah, that's I mean,
53:34
Speaker 1: that's that's typically you know alfenses. Yeah, And I mean
53:37
Speaker 1: I would say with this defense, I mean, your expectation
53:39
Speaker 1: is is fourteen I mean fourteen points unless you should win.
53:42
Speaker 1: So the one thing that I can point to that
53:45
Speaker 1: this defense didn't do well, and there may be more,
53:48
Speaker 1: it was deja vous all over again with Mariota. I mean,
53:50
Speaker 1: he did this to them in the game up there
53:51
Speaker 1: in January third doubt in five he runs for seven
53:54
Speaker 1: yards right now, the I think the disappointing part with
53:58
Speaker 1: the one run that he had, which was the third
53:59
Speaker 1: down and trying to get the ball back and you
54:03
Speaker 1: know that they're gonna run it. I mean, and I
54:06
Speaker 1: thought that they should have been more of a true
54:10
Speaker 1: zero coverage type blitz or whatever, you know, stacking guys
54:13
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage and saying look ahead and
54:15
Speaker 1: try to throw it. You know, if you can throw
54:17
Speaker 1: it with two numb fingers, you know, good luck and
54:20
Speaker 1: uh and they didn't do that, so I think that
54:21
Speaker 1: was probably a mistake. And then looking back on it,
54:23
Speaker 1: they probably would have changed the call there. He's just
54:25
Speaker 1: when when when he went into the game, I said
54:27
Speaker 1: to Ashton, I said, oh, just because he has this history,
54:31
Speaker 1: ran for fourth third day, not fourth third duns, four
54:33
Speaker 1: first downs on Sunday, and he just he has that knack.
54:38
Speaker 1: He's a good player. And the reality is is that
54:41
Speaker 1: he you know a lot of people say, well, you know,
54:43
Speaker 1: maybe he was benched. You know, yeah, they want to
54:45
Speaker 1: gather in there. I mean he really he honestly, his
54:47
Speaker 1: pinky ring finger their numb you know, from talking to
54:51
Speaker 1: a couple of people, could put no mustard on the ball.
54:53
Speaker 1: He has two numb fingers, and for a quarterback, you know,
54:56
Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of a kind of a problem.
54:58
Speaker 1: And so uh uh, he's a good football player. Who
55:01
Speaker 1: give the Titans credit? And you know that this is
55:04
Speaker 1: a game that I really expected the Jaguars to get
55:07
Speaker 1: over the hump against the Titans and they didn't do it.
55:10
Speaker 1: And and you know what, kudos to the Titans because
55:13
Speaker 1: you know what, they're whooping his team's but consistently. You know,
55:16
Speaker 1: you're in a year l have won five of the
55:17
Speaker 1: last six. How before we go, how about a thought
55:19
Speaker 1: on the rookie quarterback coming in here. He's had moments
55:21
Speaker 1: where he looks like a prodigy and now the last
55:24
Speaker 1: couple of games not so much more like a rookie.
55:27
Speaker 1: How do you handle that? I think you've you put
55:29
Speaker 1: the heat on them. Their offensive line had a hard
55:31
Speaker 1: time protecting against the Cleveland Browns last Thursday night, and
55:36
Speaker 1: I think you have to kind of I want to say,
55:38
Speaker 1: you know, completely emulate that game plan, but it's got
55:41
Speaker 1: to be something similar in your fashion. Because Sam Donald
55:45
Speaker 1: at times his eyes dropped, he got nervous, his feet
55:48
Speaker 1: were all over the place, you know, And it was
55:50
Speaker 1: pretty neat watching that ball game because you know, you're
55:53
Speaker 1: doing a comparison between uh, Sam Donald and then Baker Mayfield,
55:58
Speaker 1: and it was and I can tell you right now
56:01
Speaker 1: from my watching both of them a couple of different games,
56:04
Speaker 1: I'm taking Baker Mayfield really, he's that he's got kind
56:08
Speaker 1: of a far Van playmaker kind of Yeah, he he
56:12
Speaker 1: can handle. He can handle the bigger moments. I think,
56:15
Speaker 1: you know, and when he came in he's got quick release,
56:18
Speaker 1: I mean unbelievably quick release. We know he's accurate. Look
56:20
Speaker 1: at his numbers in college, and his numbers are are
56:23
Speaker 1: pretty good so far in the pros. But it was
56:25
Speaker 1: fun to watch that game just from that standpoint of
56:27
Speaker 1: here you are, you got the first overall pick and
56:29
Speaker 1: the third overall pick, and which one is gonna be
56:33
Speaker 1: the best guy? You know? And there's all the quarterbacks
56:35
Speaker 1: too that are gonna be evaluate it kind of as
56:36
Speaker 1: part of that conversation too, what you got come up
56:38
Speaker 1: in fild room Friday? Do you know yet? I do.
56:41
Speaker 1: We're actually gonna look at Baker Mayfield and Sam Donald.
56:43
Speaker 1: All right, it should be a nice comparison. More quick thought, Um,
56:46
Speaker 1: who's the best player on that defense they've got? They've
56:49
Speaker 1: got Leonard Williams and Jamal Adams, who I think are
56:53
Speaker 1: one and two. Leonard Williams hasn't taken the step up
56:56
Speaker 1: that I thought that he would, because you know, he
56:58
Speaker 1: was always very good against the run. You big, strong
57:01
Speaker 1: and long, but you know, look, if you're gonna be
57:04
Speaker 1: considered one of the better defensive line in the league,
57:06
Speaker 1: you pass rush. He only had two sacks last and
57:08
Speaker 1: Henry Anderson, who was a Colts draft pick who stand
57:12
Speaker 1: had the knee injury, and now they have him. He's
57:14
Speaker 1: probably a better pass rusher than Leonard Williams. Jamal Adams
57:17
Speaker 1: is a heart and soul of that defense. He's a
57:20
Speaker 1: fantastic player and I'm looking forward to watching the matchup
57:24
Speaker 1: of him against the Jaguars offense, and in particular Uh
57:28
Speaker 1: A S F R A s J because former teammate
57:32
Speaker 1: you know, and you know and and Adams uh likes
57:36
Speaker 1: to talk and when things don't go well, you can
57:39
Speaker 1: see that here's a player that kind of comes unraveled
57:41
Speaker 1: a little bit. So I wouldn't be surprised. Number eighty
57:44
Speaker 1: eight wants to see if he can climb underneath of
57:46
Speaker 1: some skin in this game. Should be fine. Yeah, it
57:48
Speaker 1: should be a lot of time. Thanks so much, we
57:49
Speaker 1: appreciate it. On Tuesdays, that's Jeff Logavan, Ashlyn Sullivan, Bryan Sexton, Jacks.
57:53
Speaker 1: Drive Time completes on a Tuesday morning and will return tomorrow.
57:58
Speaker 1: John Osier is back to get a big show play
58:00
Speaker 1: for you. For Joe Fortunato and Stone Cold. We will
58:03
Speaker 1: sign off for now. We'll let you wonder who Stone
58:05
Speaker 1: Cold is
