- 1:09Speaker 1: this show is it's platform. It's primary because social is
- 1:13Speaker 1: people and people are terrible. Now that's a good way
- 1:16Speaker 1: to look at That's why. Okay, so but we'll try it.

- 1:26Speaker 1: and we just we we've never really done this. And
- 1:27Speaker 1: we're sitting around talking the other day. We thought, well,
- 1:30Speaker 1: on a Facebook day where people tend to comment, you
- 1:32Speaker 1: already see how many people are there? Um? I share,
- 1:35Speaker 1: She says, morning Duval, good morning. You know you can
- 1:39Speaker 1: see our show on social pretty yeah, you can watch
- 1:45Speaker 1: yourself talk on your phone. I'm watching the talk, although
- 1:49Speaker 1: it's it's like seven or eight seconds in delay, so
- 1:51Speaker 1: I'm seeing you and then I'm seeing it's anyway. So
- 1:54Speaker 1: the whole point is is you're going to kind of
- 1:55Speaker 1: pay attention to it. Although I will to talk to us,
- 1:58Speaker 1: fans have something to say, right, I'm just gonna jump
- 2:01Speaker 1: in and for example, June West says, good morning, Hello,
- 2:04Speaker 1: good morning June. It's nice to see you. You can't
- 2:07Speaker 1: really see you. I've talked to fans before. This might
- 2:13Speaker 1: not be that fun, but we'll go. It's morning drive
- 2:20Speaker 1: candor for you here on Jags Drive Time. Did I
- 2:22Speaker 1: mentioned it was brought to you by dou Val Motor Company.
- 2:23Speaker 1: I think I have. So here's our Jags Drive Time
- 2:26Speaker 1: poll on Twitter. Reset right, new week Jacks three and
- 2:30Speaker 1: five steers coming in or sorry, three and six, three
- 2:33Speaker 1: and five, which we're thinking. Um, what are your expectations
- 2:36Speaker 1: for the rest of And there are a couple of
- 2:39Speaker 1: choices there for you. Seven consecutive wins, rip them off.
- 2:43Speaker 1: I'll take anything they can get from two and five
- 2:45Speaker 1: to five and two over the final seven. Uh, and
- 2:48Speaker 1: I'm already on to the two thousand nineteen NFL Draft.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Maybe you have something else? What are your expectations for
- 2:54Speaker 1: the remainder of this season? Um? Malie Jackson apparently yesterday
- 2:56Speaker 1: said hey, the season and over yet, which is exactly
- 2:59Speaker 1: what to Calais Campbell said in the locker room at
- 3:02Speaker 1: Lucas Will Stadium on Sunday. So bring it, folks, Jags
- 3:06Speaker 1: Drive Time pull on Twitter. Let us know where you're
- 3:09Speaker 1: at this morning. You ready for big things? Let's do
- 3:13Speaker 1: it all right? Big thing one is the locker room.
- 3:15Speaker 1: We're going around c i a bank Field and saying
- 3:17Speaker 1: what it's like this week, what it's like in the
- 3:20Speaker 1: locker room. Well, Calais Campbell says, you gotta keep the
- 3:22Speaker 1: guys on the locker room together. It's easier said than
- 3:24Speaker 1: done when you're three and six, but when you're looking
- 3:27Speaker 1: at a guy like that, he's the guy to do it.
- 3:29Speaker 1: So and this is interesting, a little behind the scenes
- 3:32Speaker 1: stuff for you. We get to go in the locker
- 3:33Speaker 1: room on Monday, and on Monday to shun Gibson was
- 3:36Speaker 1: the only player that came in and was willing to talk.
- 3:39Speaker 1: There were a couple of guys that they would have
- 3:41Speaker 1: been in He's the only guy who people gathered around
- 3:45Speaker 1: in Fairis. Maybe you say that uh Klaius was in there,
- 3:50Speaker 1: and Lee Jackson was in there, and some other players
- 3:53Speaker 1: were in there who had talked after the game. So
- 3:56Speaker 1: I don't want to give the impression that fifty two guys,
- 3:58Speaker 1: but let's be honest. There were some guys that picked
- 3:59Speaker 1: their head around the corner and they they find there,
- 4:02Speaker 1: they find right, they find reasons to move on and
- 4:04Speaker 1: go do something else. And and sometimes it's legitimate and
- 4:07Speaker 1: other times it's just I don't want to talk. Um.
- 4:10Speaker 1: If it's that way today, it becomes very difficult for
- 4:11Speaker 1: the media to do their jobs. And obviously the media
- 4:13Speaker 1: is a big part of coverage of the National Football League. UM,
- 4:17Speaker 1: and the reason they're there is because it's kind of glum.
- 4:19Speaker 1: When you've lost five in a row. It doesn't feel
- 4:22Speaker 1: real good and there's not necessarily anything new to say
- 4:25Speaker 1: how to find a way to win a game. We
- 4:27Speaker 1: all know what it is. So when we talk about
- 4:30Speaker 1: keeping the locker room together, when we talk about you know,
- 4:32Speaker 1: the players working and and and bringing some energy to it,
- 4:37Speaker 1: there's a challenge. It's challenge this week for a team.
- 4:39Speaker 1: I thought it was good to hear Malik yesterday say hey,
- 4:42Speaker 1: this isn't over yet, because he's one of the energetic
- 4:44Speaker 1: guys in that locker room. Yes, it's what they have
- 4:47Speaker 1: to say it. It's what you want them to be
- 4:49Speaker 1: saying this week. Well, they don't have to say it.
- 4:51Speaker 1: I mean they can go yeah, I mean it's just
- 4:53Speaker 1: week to week and see where we're at. I get it, right, Well,
- 4:56Speaker 1: it's what you want to hear him say. Um, It's
- 5:00Speaker 1: it's realistically, playoffs are not going to happen, but you
- 5:04Speaker 1: certainly want them this week. If you're a player who
- 5:09Speaker 1: has heart, you should be saying, this week, hey, we
- 5:15Speaker 1: can win them all the leeks. The guy who said
- 5:17Speaker 1: they were going to go sixteen and oh, so he
- 5:18Speaker 1: certainly thinks they'd be able to go seven and oh um,
- 5:21Speaker 1: so absolutely you want to see it. Uh, from their perspective,
- 5:26Speaker 1: they have to look at it of you know what,
- 5:27Speaker 1: this is a Steelers team that we've beaten twice last year.
- 5:32Speaker 1: You beat this one and it's the hardest game left
- 5:35Speaker 1: on your schedule, and then maybe you can win six
- 5:37Speaker 1: and rows. So that's how they should be thinking. What.
- 5:40Speaker 1: It will be interesting for them, no doubt. And I
- 5:42Speaker 1: think it will be interesting to see, you know. And
- 5:44Speaker 1: let's these guys come in after some meetings, gonna walk
- 5:47Speaker 1: through today and how the meetings go right? And you
- 5:51Speaker 1: go to work and your boss beach up and you
- 5:53Speaker 1: go back into your office and you're thinking, God hate
- 5:59Speaker 1: when my figuratively figuratively speaking, you watch some tape and
- 6:04Speaker 1: it isn't real pretty and the coaches calling you out
- 6:08Speaker 1: and it's it's easy to see how some guys think.
- 6:12Speaker 1: I just and then you do you get some stupid
- 6:14Speaker 1: questions in the locker rooms someday, right, Um, not pointing
- 6:18Speaker 1: my finger to anyone in particular, but you know you're
- 6:20Speaker 1: looking at me. No, not really, you stupid question, especially
- 6:25Speaker 1: a job. Okay, So, but you get the point. It's
- 6:27Speaker 1: not necessarily the best place to go. But they've got
- 6:29Speaker 1: to bring their own energy into that locker room. Uh,
- 6:32Speaker 1: if they can, expect to have it on the practice
- 6:34Speaker 1: field and throughout the course of the rest of the week.
- 6:36Speaker 1: So if you want to thumb at the heartbeat of
- 6:39Speaker 1: the locker room, I'm on the pulse of the locker room.
- 6:42Speaker 1: However you want to say it. Um, we'll find out
- 6:44Speaker 1: this week. Not worth noting, absolutely agreed. Okay, big thing
- 6:50Speaker 1: too is the practice field. So we heard head coach
- 6:52Speaker 1: dog Marown say on Monday that last week was one
- 6:54Speaker 1: of the best weeks of practices Jaguars team has had
- 6:57Speaker 1: all season. Obviously did not translate to the game field,
- 6:59Speaker 1: and that the key. He said, Sometimes you have great
- 7:02Speaker 1: practices that you don't play a good game and reverse
- 7:04Speaker 1: So it's all about getting the practice and translating it
- 7:07Speaker 1: to Sunday. Yeah. It's interesting because Doug last Friday morning
- 7:10Speaker 1: on coffee with the coach said just that that he
- 7:13Speaker 1: had seen great practices and poor performances, and poor practices
- 7:16Speaker 1: and great performances. It was half and half on Sunday
- 7:20Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, And so you know, I've never been one
- 7:23Speaker 1: to watch practice, whether it's training camp where we see
- 7:26Speaker 1: the whole practice, or or just the beginning of a practice,
- 7:29Speaker 1: or a Friday morning practice where we see a little
- 7:31Speaker 1: bit more UM and think, I know what this team
- 7:35Speaker 1: is going to do on a Sunday UM, it's hard
- 7:38Speaker 1: to suggest how you might translate better from that field
- 7:44Speaker 1: to that field. I think watching practice at lower levels
- 7:49Speaker 1: of football gives you a really good idea of how
- 7:51Speaker 1: a team might play UM because it or in the
- 7:57Speaker 1: days when I covered say high schools, it wasn't as
- 8:01Speaker 1: complicated a game, so you could see an energy level
- 8:04Speaker 1: and with the running game, you could see it, Okay,
- 8:07Speaker 1: this is going to translate there. They're crisp this week
- 8:11Speaker 1: in the NFL, it's so much about as we saw
- 8:13Speaker 1: on Sunday, it's so much about mental assignmentsh It's such
- 8:17Speaker 1: a level of detail that you have a great week
- 8:19Speaker 1: of practice and if you have literally three or four
- 8:23Speaker 1: plays where you have blown assignments. It can change the
- 8:27Speaker 1: entire game. So I'm with you, Brian. It's it's such
- 8:30Speaker 1: a league of matchups that I watched practice. You get
- 8:34Speaker 1: an idea about an energy level, but in no way
- 8:36Speaker 1: does it translate to the game. But I don't just
- 8:38Speaker 1: not you can't tell from right. You can't sit there
- 8:42Speaker 1: and walk off on a Friday and go hey. But
- 8:45Speaker 1: the solution is not to go have a poor week
- 8:47Speaker 1: of practice so that you have a great game, right,
- 8:49Speaker 1: I mean, you still need to go out. All the
- 8:51Speaker 1: emphasis they placed on fundamentals the week of London, all
- 8:54Speaker 1: the emphasis they placed on creating turnovers, all of that
- 8:57Speaker 1: still has to be an effect. You have to go
- 8:59Speaker 1: out and have a great week of practice, especially against Pittsburgh,
- 9:02Speaker 1: who brings in. I mean, look, Andrew luck is an
- 9:05Speaker 1: excellent quarterback, but Roethlisberger is coming off a five touchdown performance.
- 9:09Speaker 1: He's coming off of a day in which he looks
- 9:11Speaker 1: as good as he has in a couple of years.
- 9:14Speaker 1: You gotta be your best after a guy who's ready
- 9:16Speaker 1: to retire fifteen or thirteen months ago. So yeah, and
- 9:22Speaker 1: the great ones, isn't that always the case? The great
- 9:25Speaker 1: ones late in their career. Three or four years ago
- 9:28Speaker 1: Brady everybody said he was done after a lost to
- 9:31Speaker 1: the Chiefs. The great ones have those bad games and
- 9:34Speaker 1: bounce back from and he's a great one going back
- 9:36Speaker 1: to practice. So I think a good judge is the
- 9:38Speaker 1: intensity level. I remember yesterday we were last week, we
- 9:40Speaker 1: were talking about if we were going to see the
- 9:42Speaker 1: same intensity we had seen all season on the field,
- 9:44Speaker 1: and we saw a bunch of intensity, especially after the
- 9:47Speaker 1: finitial stretch. So yes, you can't tell about the mental
- 9:50Speaker 1: aspect of the game in practice, but you can tell
- 9:52Speaker 1: how much this team cares and how hard they're working
- 9:54Speaker 1: practice well out, I think all we can do is ask,
- 9:57Speaker 1: asked some of the players, asked some of the folks
- 9:59Speaker 1: who are out there. You know, there's a coach here there,
- 10:01Speaker 1: how is it today? And you know most of those
- 10:03Speaker 1: guys will tell you, right, Like we had Marcus on
- 10:05Speaker 1: last week who said they had a great week of practice.
- 10:07Speaker 1: If they don't have a great week of practice, coaches
- 10:09Speaker 1: are willing to point that out to it wasn't as
- 10:11Speaker 1: good as it needs to be today, right, So we'll
- 10:13Speaker 1: find out, but we won't find out till Sunday. Alright,
- 10:17Speaker 1: big thing three is Sunday. It's the stadium, so buckle up, folks.
- 10:20Speaker 1: It's not going to be as much of home field
- 10:22Speaker 1: advantage as Jaguars fans would like. We know how Steelers
- 10:26Speaker 1: Nation travels. There'll be a lot of Steelers fans in
- 10:28Speaker 1: the stadium. Yes, it's a home game. Can we put
- 10:31Speaker 1: a ban on using nation after teams? I get so
- 10:33Speaker 1: tired of Stealer nation game? No Nation, how about just
- 10:38Speaker 1: Stealers fans? I like Steelers Nation. Alright, I'm gonna keep
- 10:43Speaker 1: Stealer Nation will be here, Joe Nation, Joe Nation will
- 10:47Speaker 1: be here in the next segment. I like Joe Nation better. Hey,
- 10:51Speaker 1: Joe Nation. There should be a Joe Nation there is.
- 10:53Speaker 1: I have a feeling there is. He has a fan. Hey,
- 10:56Speaker 1: Joe Nation nation of one? We Hey, look we both
- 11:00Speaker 1: been here. John. When the Steelers roll in and fill
- 11:03Speaker 1: up every seat that you don't sell to your fans,
- 11:07Speaker 1: it's what they do. And as I mentioned the other day,
- 11:10Speaker 1: it's good business for places where they don't sell out
- 11:14Speaker 1: in all three teams in Florida, when the Steelers come
- 11:16Speaker 1: to town, do well, because there are Steelers fans all
- 11:19Speaker 1: over Florida. They buy your tickets. They buy your beers
- 11:22Speaker 1: and your sodas, they buy your hot dogs, paper parking,
- 11:24Speaker 1: they spend money, they fill your hotels and restaurants. They
- 11:27Speaker 1: make an impact. And I'm sure it will happen is
- 11:31Speaker 1: they'll be Steelers fans there. They'll have a presence and
- 11:34Speaker 1: the people say, see, see how bad the Jaguars fans are.
- 11:38Speaker 1: It's a universal I mean, if you watch the NFL,
- 11:41Speaker 1: you've seen Steelers fans do this all over the country
- 11:45Speaker 1: and in many different cities where either the team's routinely
- 11:51Speaker 1: don't sell out or it's the second half of seasons
- 11:54Speaker 1: where fans are selling seats. So I anticipated an element
- 11:57Speaker 1: of that. Um I also antil I also anticipate eight
- 12:00Speaker 1: a large faction of Jaguars fans who buckle against that
- 12:04Speaker 1: if you will, And uh so I expected to be
- 12:07Speaker 1: a fevered pitch as long as the Jaguars play well.
- 12:10Speaker 1: See this was the marquee game on the schedule. It
- 12:12Speaker 1: was that prime time Sunday night football. Steelers will show
- 12:16Speaker 1: you kind of game. And I'm wondering if there's still
- 12:18Speaker 1: that passion for three and six team at a one
- 12:21Speaker 1: o'clock game, right, if there isn't some resignation among Jaguars
- 12:26Speaker 1: nation Nation nation, um zone nation. That is definitely, that
- 12:33Speaker 1: definitely exists. Not a place I ever want to go
- 12:36Speaker 1: to talk about that. Let's not let's put that on
- 12:38Speaker 1: your list. It ain't gonna happen, Baby, it ain't gonna happen. Uh.
- 12:42Speaker 1: I'm interested to see what the stadium is like. I look,
- 12:45Speaker 1: we saw it an opening day. Green Bay is another
- 12:48Speaker 1: one of those teams that travels and fills your building. Uh.
- 12:51Speaker 1: And it was a huge presence, and we anticipated it
- 12:54Speaker 1: that there was going to be ten thou of them. Um,
- 12:57Speaker 1: there's something we're looking for. It's it's much like and
- 13:00Speaker 1: now don't forget the irony of this is at Steelers
- 13:06Speaker 1: games last year. There's a pretty big Jaguars contenency too. Um.
- 13:09Speaker 1: So this works both ways. When you're going well, you're
- 13:13Speaker 1: gonna have contingency. The Steeler has been going well for
- 13:15Speaker 1: a long, long, long long time. I in hispate Jaguars
- 13:19Speaker 1: fans being like this. Um, if the team goes well early,
- 13:23Speaker 1: they'll be into it. Uh. You'll get a sort of
- 13:27Speaker 1: a last stand type of reaction as long as they
- 13:31Speaker 1: play well. Uh. If they play poorly as they did
- 13:36Speaker 1: for a three game losing stry. I'm not sure they
- 13:37Speaker 1: played that poorly last two weeks, but if they play
- 13:40Speaker 1: poorly then I anticipate it. Um human nature is that
- 13:44Speaker 1: people will say here we go again. Yeah, well, there's
- 13:47Speaker 1: been too much of that. Just don't be surprised when
- 13:49Speaker 1: you see a lot of black and golden the stadium
- 13:51Speaker 1: when the Steelers play. Everywhere in the NFL there is
- 13:54Speaker 1: a contingent of Steelers fans. That's pretty impressive. So we'll
- 13:58Speaker 1: take a break. Hey, Joe and the oh our Next

- 16:12Speaker 1: to Joe Nation. Cats are coming too, you'll see in
- 16:18Speaker 1: a bit, Hi, Joe. It's getting harder and harder to Wednesday, Welcome,
- 16:25Speaker 1: Hello everyone, Good morning. Uh. It's getting harder to do
- 16:29Speaker 1: these things, you know, because of the record, but we
- 16:34Speaker 1: endeavored to persevere. Johnny Hanson a bunch of emails every day, Joe,
- 16:39Speaker 1: whoa is Joe? Whoa is Joe? Whoa was Joe? And
- 16:43Speaker 1: apparently Whoe was? Oh whoa? Whoa? Whoa? Anyway, with that
- 16:48Speaker 1: in mind, we're gonna butcher twenty one pilots. Okay, I
- 16:53Speaker 1: don't know this song. Ah God. I wish I had
- 17:02Speaker 1: the chance to take us to a better place, to
- 17:05Speaker 1: bring us back to when we were playing in your face.
- 17:07Speaker 1: We had the swagger and the confidence in all the trust,
- 17:10Speaker 1: and now there's a dagger in our season and it's
- 17:12Speaker 1: a bust. I wish I had a magic limp so
- 17:15Speaker 1: I could find the geney. Maybe then I won't be
- 17:17Speaker 1: throwing things at my naving this space. The wise struggle
- 17:21Speaker 1: to win got at the place considering where we have been,
- 17:31Speaker 1: wish we could made friend time for the Steelers game.
- 17:36Speaker 1: But we're brands six, and now that means that we
- 17:40Speaker 1: then lexed out. I wish we could turn back time
- 17:45Speaker 1: Front seven seen when the Sailers had no chance to win,
- 17:50Speaker 1: But now we're flexed out. Jordan, Sweet, that's it one verse.
- 17:57Speaker 1: I don't know the song, don't I about that? Right? Okay? Ye?
- 18:02Speaker 1: Did it work? Yeah, it's good? Alright, that's a hit man, Joe, allright,
- 18:06Speaker 1: we do know this about him. Yeah. So there's new
- 18:09Speaker 1: people in your nation, hip people. Yep. Yeah, we're gonna
- 18:14Speaker 1: see you later in the show than you with a
- 18:15Speaker 1: new segment that did you see this? Cool? Right? Okay?
- 18:20Speaker 1: So can you play the other music for the other nation?
- 18:23Speaker 1: Here it comes? I can do that anything. Yeah, I know.
- 18:37Speaker 1: That's great, and we're over here. I do do that
- 18:39Speaker 1: all day. Act. That's it's a good life. I'm doing
- 18:45Speaker 1: my best life, Ryan, are you? Which is unfortunately? All right?
- 18:50Speaker 1: Let's go to Brian from Round of Rock. Why is
- 18:53Speaker 1: this defense so mentally weak? Don't we have leaders in
- 18:56Speaker 1: the locker room on that side of the ball. It
- 18:58Speaker 1: seems like they checked out and are above playing for
- 19:01Speaker 1: this team. Pathetic? Yeah, um, this has been a constant
- 19:06Speaker 1: theme all week, and I think often people perceive teams
- 19:16Speaker 1: that are struggling as having checked out, uh and not trying.
- 19:20Speaker 1: And my experience, and asked Josh Scoby about this yesterday,
- 19:26Speaker 1: is that NFL teams typically don't check out, and it's
- 19:29Speaker 1: not that they're not trying. It's more in the second
- 19:31Speaker 1: half of seasons that start going poorly, it's players either
- 19:36Speaker 1: try to do too much or they in crucial situations
- 19:43Speaker 1: make plays outside the defense that is called. They don't
- 19:47Speaker 1: stop trying, but they sometimes stop playing within the team
- 19:52Speaker 1: concept as much as you do when you were in contention.
- 19:58Speaker 1: And I think that's the challenge for the A Wars
- 20:00Speaker 1: at this point in the last seven games. And I'm
- 20:02Speaker 1: not saying it's specifically the Jaguars. I've seen it on
- 20:05Speaker 1: basically every team I've ever been around, that things haven't
- 20:08Speaker 1: gone well, it happened. So I think that's the challenge
- 20:11Speaker 1: for anything. When people see losing regaze, oh oh they're
- 20:14Speaker 1: not fighting now, there's no heart. My experience, Brind's that's
- 20:17Speaker 1: usually not what it is. It's just things go awry
- 20:21Speaker 1: and they don't want him to go well. He started
- 20:23Speaker 1: interpreting things right, so and then I say this all
- 20:25Speaker 1: the time. I'm a big body language guy. Look to
- 20:26Speaker 1: see how guys are and there were some slum shoulders
- 20:29Speaker 1: in the first half. Now on the sidelines and on
- 20:31Speaker 1: the field, when they gave up four touchdowns in five
- 20:35Speaker 1: first half possessions for the Colds, I wondered if this
- 20:38Speaker 1: had not come unwound on the defensive side. They got
- 20:41Speaker 1: it back. The offense helped with the long drive to
- 20:43Speaker 1: start the third quarter. And guys, because I asked a
- 20:46Speaker 1: couple of asked. Todd wash got on the plane, did
- 20:48Speaker 1: you do anything schematically different? Did you change anything? And
- 20:51Speaker 1: he said no, guys played better in the second half.
- 20:54Speaker 1: So to me, now that's a good sign, right, especially
- 20:57Speaker 1: against Ben Roethlisberger and started playing in the defense focus.
- 21:02Speaker 1: That's the key. These guys have to play the defense.
- 21:05Speaker 1: I think you know, based on uh log him in
- 21:07Speaker 1: the film study and what you know people we've talked to,
- 21:09Speaker 1: that wasn't the case. I mean, Shaun Gibson said as
- 21:11Speaker 1: much on Monday. The guys were going off trying to
- 21:14Speaker 1: make plays and when it worked for for Jalen in London, right,
- 21:18Speaker 1: he saw what Barry Church did and he went to
- 21:20Speaker 1: the end zone and made a play that very few
- 21:23Speaker 1: Maybe he's the only defensive back in football. Maybe Patrick
- 21:25Speaker 1: Peterson can make the play that he made it wimbley
- 21:28Speaker 1: that day. But you can't do that, I mean you can't.
- 21:30Speaker 1: Just you can't build Sunday to our Jalen. You do
- 21:33Speaker 1: whatever you want and make great plays, but every you can't.
- 21:36Speaker 1: You can't scheme it that way. Um, when guys are
- 21:40Speaker 1: doing that, as you just mentioned, it looks as if
- 21:42Speaker 1: guys have just totally lost it and come Unwell in
- 21:46Speaker 1: the second at the running game, Um, when you're not
- 21:49Speaker 1: stopping the run, it looks like you quit. Yeah. Sometimes
- 21:52Speaker 1: you're just not stopping the run, and things can be
- 21:55Speaker 1: interpreted as they're not give an effort. Well, it's it's
- 22:00Speaker 1: usually just not things are going bad well, and you're
- 22:03Speaker 1: frustrated with the team. And similar to if you can't
- 22:06Speaker 1: stop the run, it looks like you've quit. When guys
- 22:09Speaker 1: are running is open as they were and they were,
- 22:11Speaker 1: I mean Jack Doylety Hilton Ebron, that looks like quit, ye, right,
- 22:17Speaker 1: But as we found out in the second half, it wasn't.
- 22:20Speaker 1: So there's confusion. In the first half, it looked bad,
- 22:23Speaker 1: all right, let's go. Please hold them. Scroll up to Gainesville,
- 22:28Speaker 1: good old Gainesville. Big Oh. I know that tanking for
- 22:32Speaker 1: draft positions is by no means a sure thing proposition,
- 22:36Speaker 1: but in a year where all hope is gone, it's
- 22:39Speaker 1: a um. The gist is, Brian, why not tank? Um?
- 22:45Speaker 1: It's a question that I got a lot from two
- 22:48Speaker 1: thousand and eleven to two Remember familiar with this, Remember
- 22:51Speaker 1: the suck for Luck campaign and Inapolis um and eleven
- 22:55Speaker 1: they and the reality it doesn't happen. Uh. And I'm
- 23:03Speaker 1: not saying no team has ever done in the NFL,
- 23:05Speaker 1: but it's very rare, mainly for the reason that coaches
- 23:09Speaker 1: and players aren't tuned into that. So unless a front office,
- 23:16Speaker 1: which would theoretically have the motivation to do that, comes
- 23:19Speaker 1: in and tells guys, you must pull players out of
- 23:22Speaker 1: the game or you must do this coaches who want
- 23:25Speaker 1: you know, a coach is never gonna stand in front
- 23:28Speaker 1: of the team and say, hey, hey, we're playing for
- 23:29Speaker 1: a draft pick this week, because those players don't care well,
- 23:33Speaker 1: and the coach is gonna want to losing a job
- 23:35Speaker 1: because all of a sudden that's on your record. So
- 23:38Speaker 1: it's it's fine to talk about I understand the instinct.
- 23:42Speaker 1: There's also a logical reason why you don't do it
- 23:45Speaker 1: in the NFL. Um it's not like the NBA, where
- 23:50Speaker 1: one player typically can be target and say, boy, you
- 23:53Speaker 1: are much much better with this guy at the top
- 23:56Speaker 1: of the NBA draft than you are in the in
- 23:58Speaker 1: the number eight because it does happen in the NBA
- 24:02Speaker 1: in the NFL unless there's a rare situation, and luck
- 24:05Speaker 1: was one, but usually in the NFL, moving up three
- 24:12Speaker 1: spots is usually not a franchise defining move. In the NFL,
- 24:18Speaker 1: it can be, but it's not obvious before the draft,
- 24:22Speaker 1: so there's usually not the incentive to do it, although
- 24:25Speaker 1: fans believe there is. Well, you know, and we we
- 24:28Speaker 1: we had this conversation a lot back then, and my
- 24:30Speaker 1: point was, and it's coming again, right, okay, So if
- 24:34Speaker 1: that's the case, don't worry about it. Go play, right,
- 24:36Speaker 1: I mean, players and coach is gonna go play because
- 24:38Speaker 1: the tape tells the story. They're not worried about who's
- 24:42Speaker 1: coming in. They can't. They don't even know if they're
- 24:44Speaker 1: gonna be here. Oh yeah, there's some guys, you know,
- 24:46Speaker 1: we're gonna be here. They're young, their salary cap all
- 24:48Speaker 1: of that nonsense. But they don't. They can't look at
- 24:50Speaker 1: a kid in college, you but what we need him?
- 24:52Speaker 1: So let's lose. It makes no sense at all, but
- 24:54Speaker 1: his fans in December, if you're not in it, don't
- 24:57Speaker 1: worry about it, right, I mean, because the upshot of
- 25:00Speaker 1: not being good enough to win is that you have
- 25:03Speaker 1: a chance to get players now you you can screw
- 25:05Speaker 1: it up. You can take the wrong player, right. So
- 25:07Speaker 1: there's no guarantee there either or is there a guarantee
- 25:10Speaker 1: right now that there's a player sitting there that you want.
- 25:13Speaker 1: There's just not God play. Let the coaches play. It's
- 25:16Speaker 1: camp be an organization. We're gonna suck for luck, right, Um,
- 25:20Speaker 1: it'll be a conversation. It is just no deep down
- 25:23Speaker 1: that it's it's not gonna my thing is in December.
- 25:26Speaker 1: If you're not in it and they're not winning, I
- 25:28Speaker 1: just don't worry about right, and just don't worry about it.
- 25:30Speaker 1: We just have to worry about it. Have plenty of
- 25:32Speaker 1: time to worry about absolutely, plenty of time. I saw
- 25:34Speaker 1: a comment the other day that said this Jaguars teams
- 25:36Speaker 1: has to lose so they can get Will Greer at quarterback.
- 25:39Speaker 1: I'm feeling the locker rooms not saying looking forward to
- 25:42Speaker 1: Will Grew. Any of them are going, Who's will right exactly?
- 25:46Speaker 1: Because they just don't find I mean college football. They
- 25:48Speaker 1: followed their school. That's about it. Let all of them
- 25:51Speaker 1: do that. Let's go to good old Jeff. Looks like
- 25:55Speaker 1: all of those tough contract decisions that we're going to
- 25:58Speaker 1: be made at the end of the sea this season
- 26:00Speaker 1: may not be so tough after all. Yes, the reality
- 26:03Speaker 1: I mean, and it's it's a little bit why again.
- 26:08Speaker 1: You understand why there's questions, and you understand why people
- 26:11Speaker 1: look way ahead and I worry about things. I'm one
- 26:14Speaker 1: of life's great warriors ashally, so I understand warrior um.
- 26:18Speaker 1: But for the most part, in the NFL, decisions like
- 26:25Speaker 1: what they're talking about, the season wind up taking care
- 26:27Speaker 1: of themselves. I wrote a million times last spring. You
- 26:31Speaker 1: don't know between Malik Calais, marcel A, Buried Church just
- 26:36Speaker 1: I mean, all those names you're throwing out, Um, you
- 26:39Speaker 1: don't know if by the end of the two thousand
- 26:41Speaker 1: eighteen season you're gonna want all those guys back. You
- 26:44Speaker 1: don't know within those scopes how each guy is going
- 26:47Speaker 1: to play, whether whether they're going to deserve to come back.
- 26:50Speaker 1: Most NFL careers have a prime of what six or
- 26:53Speaker 1: seven years, so one year can make a dramatic difference
- 26:57Speaker 1: in a guy's perception, his health, et cetera. Uh so
- 27:00Speaker 1: you thought it would probably play out, and uh, it
- 27:03Speaker 1: feels like it's it's doing. I looked at this from
- 27:06Speaker 1: the standpoint of young guys who haven't gotten paid yet,
- 27:08Speaker 1: so very much. If Jalen Ramsey comes out and has
- 27:11Speaker 1: another All Pro season in you still have his fourth
- 27:16Speaker 1: year in his fifth year option right top ten picksure
- 27:18Speaker 1: of the fifth year option and rookie contracts are designed
- 27:21Speaker 1: to help your cap because they played a fixed lower number.
- 27:24Speaker 1: But if Jalen Ramsey has in all Pro season, you're
- 27:27Speaker 1: probably thinking, how do we take care of him in
- 27:29Speaker 1: twenty nineteen to make sure that he's a pillar getting
- 27:31Speaker 1: ahead of the curve, you know, incentivize him to be
- 27:34Speaker 1: here for as much as possible during the off season.
- 27:37Speaker 1: How do we make him happy because we don't want
- 27:39Speaker 1: him next year being unhappy if you can be unhappy
- 27:42Speaker 1: playing for seven million, but if you could be making
- 27:44Speaker 1: twenty right, Okay, he's not having an All Pro year,
- 27:48Speaker 1: you don't have to make that decision. At least in November.
- 27:51Speaker 1: You don't have to make that decision now. Same thing
- 27:53Speaker 1: with Unique and Gonqua. If he has twenty sacks, you
- 27:56Speaker 1: probably don't let him go into the fourth year of
- 27:58Speaker 1: his contract. Although again the structure of the contract is
- 28:01Speaker 1: designed that it helps your cap It's to your advantage
- 28:04Speaker 1: to make these guys play out their rookie contracts because
- 28:06Speaker 1: it gives you flexibility with guys like Calais, Malik d
- 28:10Speaker 1: Marcel Darius, all of those guys. All of a sudden,
- 28:13Speaker 1: now you're not thinking, well, I gotta pay Jalen, and
- 28:15Speaker 1: now I gotta pay Unique, and Miles is coming up
- 28:17Speaker 1: into that situation too. You've got another year, and I
- 28:20Speaker 1: think the linebackers, Brian make a a an excellent case
- 28:27Speaker 1: into why you let it play out? Meaning you thought
- 28:29Speaker 1: for sure you had to pay Miles Jack before this
- 28:31Speaker 1: offseason without it doubt, I'm not sure. I'm not sure
- 28:34Speaker 1: you know for sure. I'm not saying the book is written,
- 28:37Speaker 1: but it's not right now. Oh my goodness, what are
- 28:40Speaker 1: we gonna do if we don't do this. It's now okay,
- 28:42Speaker 1: let's figure this out. Same thing with Telvin Smith. You
- 28:44Speaker 1: thought for sure he was long term, had to have
- 28:47Speaker 1: him back. Now you're looking, is this a guy we're
- 28:51Speaker 1: building around long terms not having a great year. He's
- 28:53Speaker 1: not the only one on defense, But many of these
- 28:56Speaker 1: defensive players. I don't mean to just single out tell them,
- 28:58Speaker 1: but those two players are example poles of it. Um.
- 29:01Speaker 1: Now you're looking at these last seven games of Okay,
- 29:06Speaker 1: what out of this group? How are we going to
- 29:08Speaker 1: structure this moving forward? What moves do we have to make? Now,
- 29:12Speaker 1: here's one caveat to that, and that is there's seven
- 29:14Speaker 1: games left. Jalen could have an interception in every game.
- 29:17Speaker 1: He could score three touchdowns. He could still get to
- 29:20Speaker 1: the cusp of all Pro. Although you're not the all Pro.
- 29:23Speaker 1: Thing goes they look at your whole season. Um, and
- 29:26Speaker 1: he's maybe a guy you lock up anyway. I gets
- 29:32Speaker 1: he's an all pro talent. I get it, even if
- 29:34Speaker 1: he's not having an all Pro season. It's just you
- 29:36Speaker 1: have a little bit more leverage that that's a contract negotiation.
- 29:38Speaker 1: That's Dave Coldwell sitting with the agent making that happen. Um,
- 29:41Speaker 1: Miles uh Unique could go off and have a sack
- 29:45Speaker 1: in every game and have to two sack games and
- 29:47Speaker 1: and be that fourteen fifteen sack guy back to back years,
- 29:50Speaker 1: and you go, okay, we gotta take care of this now,
- 29:51Speaker 1: right because we lose leverage and we've got a deal
- 29:53Speaker 1: right here. Um, those things could still happen. It could
- 29:56Speaker 1: still play out over the final seven games. But if
- 29:58Speaker 1: you're looking at big picture, yeah, the guy from Atlantic Beaches,
- 30:02Speaker 1: Jeff from It is exactly right. You still there is
- 30:05Speaker 1: a positive to it in terms of your salary. And
- 30:09Speaker 1: that's it. He was looking at it that positively than
- 30:11Speaker 1: he was. It's how I look. Yeah, yeah, he justly
- 30:15Speaker 1: was Okay, all right, all right, we'll take a break.
- 30:20Speaker 1: When we come back, the paddles come out. This is

- 32:22Speaker 1: on Facebook, We're listening. For example, John got a shout
- 32:25Speaker 1: out keep up the great work, John from Jeff. How
- 32:30Speaker 1: does that make you feel? What a morning? It's all about? John?
- 32:34Speaker 1: If I don't think the social thanks working not only
- 32:38Speaker 1: complimenting John. All right, let's go to top tweets, shall we?
- 32:42Speaker 1: How was it? That was it? That's all you get? Tweets, tweets, tweets,
- 32:50Speaker 1: top tweets. All right, let's start it off with cold
- 32:54Speaker 1: stock com. I'm sure we all seen this, but it's
- 32:56Speaker 1: a prime example what the Jaguars defense was dealing with
- 33:00Speaker 1: on Sunday. First of all, Quentin Nelson's really good. It's
- 33:13Speaker 1: scary every time. By the way, did I did I
- 33:16Speaker 1: read correctly that the folks who in the social media
- 33:20Speaker 1: department in Indianapolis they added the yelling. I think Quentin
- 33:23Speaker 1: Nelson said, so, yeah, he's a great players. When you
- 33:32Speaker 1: notice a rookie left guard and you don't see that
- 33:35Speaker 1: very often, uh, that really disappoints me. I thought this
- 33:39Speaker 1: whole time that was him, and it made it Apparently
- 33:41Speaker 1: not apparently not, but behavior I was gonna say that. Now,
- 33:47Speaker 1: that's the difference between journalism and the Internet, and that
- 33:51Speaker 1: is is that in the Internet you can do stuff
- 33:52Speaker 1: like that because it's entertainment. Right yet com used to
- 33:57Speaker 1: be really really really good, really really good. But yeah,
- 34:02Speaker 1: but like last year or the year before, I mean
- 34:04Speaker 1: it was but yeah, all right, all right, let's go
- 34:11Speaker 1: to Field Gates, who's predicting the NFL draft order. Then
- 34:16Speaker 1: you see it, Jaguars at nine, three and six, right now,
- 34:19Speaker 1: see the Raiders getting the first pick at the moment,
- 34:21Speaker 1: one in eight, Buccaneers tenth. Not where you want to
- 34:25Speaker 1: be at the moment. No, No, that's how it be.
- 34:29Speaker 1: How it be not much seven games? All right. Let's
- 34:35Speaker 1: go to Austin Safarian jenkins Instagram story from yesterday. He says,
- 34:41Speaker 1: week fifteen, I'm back boys. I wonder whether that's him
- 34:46Speaker 1: telling them I'm ready to come back, or that's them
- 34:49Speaker 1: saying to him, get ready. He's gonna be because he
- 34:51Speaker 1: could return to practice next week. Uh, and then could
- 34:54Speaker 1: play in week fifteen. I mean, I hope that because
- 34:57Speaker 1: he's a guy for whom training up and the preseason
- 35:01Speaker 1: was really productive and we thought we'd see a whole
- 35:04Speaker 1: lot of Austin Sufurian Jenkins, and even absolutely though you
- 35:08Speaker 1: see a whole lot, there was a lot built into
- 35:10Speaker 1: the offense around him, and even I think we've talked
- 35:15Speaker 1: about it, Brian, I don't think he was going to
- 35:17Speaker 1: have a thousand yards receiving, but you could have seen
- 35:20Speaker 1: eight or nine touchdowns though the end, even if he
- 35:25Speaker 1: hadn't gotten those data. Nine touchdowns, the presence of him,
- 35:28Speaker 1: the threat of that player in that position, the ability
- 35:33Speaker 1: to have a guy who could both run, block and
- 35:35Speaker 1: pass catch at the tight end position. Um, you could
- 35:40Speaker 1: argue that they should have had a second option there
- 35:43Speaker 1: behind him, but you can't argue that the loss of him,
- 35:47Speaker 1: it's uh, maybe as big a loss as they had
- 35:50Speaker 1: in the first half the season. Hindsight, I think I
- 35:53Speaker 1: would have brought Mercedes back, But we do see a
- 35:56Speaker 1: sim working off to the side last week, working to
- 35:59Speaker 1: get back. My guess is that tweet is he's now
- 36:03Speaker 1: what that's four weeks away, so he's four weeks out.
- 36:08Speaker 1: My guess is he's hearing from his medical people, Yeah
- 36:11Speaker 1: it's going to be that, and that he's feeling good
- 36:14Speaker 1: about that. So good for him now, the Jaguars still
- 36:16Speaker 1: get to decide ultimately, and maybe they've said to him, Hey,
- 36:19Speaker 1: you know, when you're ready, we want you back. We
- 36:22Speaker 1: can find out you think so they can bring two back. Right,
- 36:27Speaker 1: all right? Are we ready boys for the hard hitting questions?
- 36:31Speaker 1: Oh it's time for actually asks? Yes, time Bryan calls it.
- 36:37Speaker 1: Why did the number one CBS crew choose to cover
- 36:41Speaker 1: the Jaguars and the Steelers. You have Jim Nance, Tony Romo,
- 36:46Speaker 1: Tracy Wilson all come into town. We saw him against
- 36:49Speaker 1: the Patriots, against the Cowboys, against the Chiefs, Jaguars three
- 36:57Speaker 1: six record. If they still choosed to come cover this
- 37:01Speaker 1: game in Jacksonville, all right, I always have the funny
- 37:16Speaker 1: to say, but it's because the Steelers. I mean they're
- 37:19Speaker 1: it's a one o'clock game. Uh, the Steers are good,
- 37:22Speaker 1: they draw fans. Um, that's it. I mean, it's uh,
- 37:26Speaker 1: what has nothing to do with the Jaguars, Well, certainly not.
- 37:30Speaker 1: I mean at this point, as on a knock on
- 37:32Speaker 1: the Jaguars, it wouldn't have It wouldn't have anything to
- 37:34Speaker 1: do with any three and six team outside of a
- 37:37Speaker 1: major market Dallas, New York type team. I mean, it's
- 37:41Speaker 1: here Chris the Steeler, do you know what these are?
- 37:45Speaker 1: Here's a lesson. That's the that's that's my rendition of
- 37:48Speaker 1: the Steelers logo. Right. Those are the hyper cycloids, right.
- 37:52Speaker 1: The red one is fire, the blue one is water,
- 37:56Speaker 1: and the yellow one is represents iron ore, which are
- 37:59Speaker 1: the compile units of making steel. That is the Steeler's logo.
- 38:02Speaker 1: That is the genesis of the Steeler's logo. Vic would
- 38:05Speaker 1: be proud by the way that I always listened when
- 38:06Speaker 1: he would tell me that, Um, yeah, Steelers, what is
- 38:09Speaker 1: going hyper I really am as dumb as I thought,
- 38:15Speaker 1: or I'm smarter than you thought. That's true, Joe, you
- 38:18Speaker 1: have something to say. I've got the real answer. They
- 38:21Speaker 1: want to golf. That's right, they're here. They're probably here already.
- 38:29Speaker 1: Tony said, oh yeah, let's let's just go golf, shall we.
- 38:32Speaker 1: I just I never went when Vick used to draw
- 38:33Speaker 1: that up. I always just listening to, yeah, yeah, yeah, Vick.
- 38:35Speaker 1: I never thought I actually get to explain it to
- 38:37Speaker 1: someone else, And I just thank goodness you did. Coming
- 38:41Speaker 1: out there. Steelers fan is going to see that and
- 38:43Speaker 1: go up. That's a great drawing. Let's go to Ashlan
- 38:46Speaker 1: ask number two what is the atmosphere going to be
- 38:51Speaker 1: like on Sunday talked about it briefly. We think a
- 38:56Speaker 1: lot of Steelers fans are going to show up. Steeler Nation,
- 39:03Speaker 1: Bryant fun, fun, It's the NFL. It's the Jaguars and Steelers.
- 39:07Speaker 1: They were the defining games for this franchise in the
- 39:11Speaker 1: early days, and as you and I talked about yesterday,
- 39:13Speaker 1: some of the moments, the biggest moments for the Jaguars
- 39:17Speaker 1: have been against the Steelers. Hey, folks, there's only sixteen
- 39:21Speaker 1: and I forget who's on a bye week. So if
- 39:22Speaker 1: not sixteen this week, only sixteen places on the planet
- 39:25Speaker 1: that NFL football takes place on a given weekend, and
- 39:27Speaker 1: this is one of them. It's gonna be a beautiful day, right,
- 39:30Speaker 1: sixty eight degrees and sunny. It's gonna be fun. Come
- 39:33Speaker 1: on down. Yeah, they're gonna be wearing teal tops. I
- 39:35Speaker 1: won't tell you the color of the pan. You'll find
- 39:37Speaker 1: that out this afternoon on Happy Hour. Done. Yes, I'm
- 39:45Speaker 1: gonna be hopeful. And when I say that, I don't
- 39:48Speaker 1: mean that the Jaguars fans are hopeful that the team
- 39:51Speaker 1: is going to make the playoffs. But I think for
- 39:54Speaker 1: me Jaguars fans perspective, it'll be hopeful early and so
- 40:00Speaker 1: of a wait and see, let's see if they hang
- 40:02Speaker 1: with him. I think if if they hang with him,
- 40:05Speaker 1: if it's tight, I think Jaguars fans will come up
- 40:08Speaker 1: hoping for a glimpse of what they saw last year
- 40:12Speaker 1: and hoping for one Sunday where they can feel good
- 40:14Speaker 1: about it. So uh yeah, fun all that great? Um,
- 40:19Speaker 1: But I do think that if this team plays well,
- 40:22Speaker 1: it could get the fans behind it and have that memorable,
- 40:25Speaker 1: hopeful pipe day day. That's all we want, And like
- 40:29Speaker 1: the more opportunities to use the word pipe on this show,
- 40:32Speaker 1: the better. Please win on Sunday so we can all
- 40:34Speaker 1: be pipe next week. Who nude? Just a little mistake
- 40:37Speaker 1: from Shellnn would turn into something so great? Don't we
- 40:41Speaker 1: all agree? Oh? Great? The last Ashlyn asked, looking at
- 40:47Speaker 1: the rest of the season, who can turn the surround? Now?
- 40:50Speaker 1: Obviously not just one person, anyone else here the Mary
- 40:53Speaker 1: Tyler Moore song in their head right now? Who can
- 40:56Speaker 1: turn the world on with their smile? Sure we can
- 40:58Speaker 1: think of it that way. Who's going to turn this around?
- 41:01Speaker 1: Obviously it can't be one person, But who can play
- 41:04Speaker 1: better in the second half of the season to help
- 41:07Speaker 1: turn it around. It could be anyone coach, player, John
- 41:15Speaker 1: John I'm going I'm gonna say wide receivers just because
- 41:21Speaker 1: i don't want to say the running backs because I've
- 41:23Speaker 1: harped on the running backs for weeks and weeks and weeks.
- 41:26Speaker 1: The wide receivers certainly, Um if if they could one
- 41:33Speaker 1: play a game. I'm not saying an eight yard pass
- 41:35Speaker 1: like mon increase, but one or two plays a game,
- 41:37Speaker 1: give them that spark Ah, that would help immensely. I
- 41:42Speaker 1: think that's really been the Achilles He'll if you will
- 41:46Speaker 1: have the offense so far so they and then anticipating
- 41:49Speaker 1: because they haven't shown it, but that could really help
- 41:53Speaker 1: everything and help the running game that we've all been
- 41:55Speaker 1: talking about. I'll go with Jalen Um. When he made
- 41:58Speaker 1: that interception in London, the whole sideline erupted. He came
- 42:02Speaker 1: to the sideline, he had energy right and that got
- 42:06Speaker 1: and we we saw the way that he didn't turn
- 42:07Speaker 1: into a win, but we saw the way that the
- 42:09Speaker 1: Jaguars playing they responded. It maintain the momentum for you
- 42:12Speaker 1: bet extended period and it helped. He's maybe the best
- 42:18Speaker 1: player on this team. He's I think he's the best
- 42:19Speaker 1: player on the defense for certain. Um. On Sunday, as
- 42:23Speaker 1: things were going bad, his body language on the sideline
- 42:26Speaker 1: was it was negative. His shoulders were slumped, he shaking
- 42:30Speaker 1: his head, He was not he was not himself on
- 42:33Speaker 1: So I think he would agree with that. UM. I
- 42:36Speaker 1: think if Jalen Ramsey brings his best game, the defense
- 42:41Speaker 1: is lifted by knowing that their best player is having
- 42:44Speaker 1: his best game. So I would say Jalen has the
- 42:47Speaker 1: greatest potential to lift this team. He's good. And here's
- 42:51Speaker 1: the thing Brian I was talking about Jalen. I'm not
- 42:53Speaker 1: sure if this fits your point or not, but I
- 42:56Speaker 1: think if you watched this show and listen to us
- 42:59Speaker 1: all a week, there's been a lot of talk about
- 43:01Speaker 1: how John didn't play well Sunday, UM, I think that's fair,
- 43:05Speaker 1: and you know what, not everybody has a great day
- 43:09Speaker 1: every day and in life, you mature, you grow. Most
- 43:14Speaker 1: I haven't, but most people mature and grow. Um, you
- 43:19Speaker 1: don't have your best day every day. It doesn't mean
- 43:23Speaker 1: that the guy is not a great player, and it
- 43:25Speaker 1: doesn't mean that he can't be an All Pro guy
- 43:29Speaker 1: this year. It doesn't mean he can't you know, doesn't
- 43:32Speaker 1: mean he's not critically important for this defense. Um, so
- 43:37Speaker 1: it's okay to have a bad day. You know, he's
- 43:39Speaker 1: not perfect. Let's see where it goes from here. I
- 43:43Speaker 1: think that will tell his story. All right, fashion, one
- 43:49Speaker 1: more break, We've got a new segment for you called
- 43:51Speaker 1: did you see this? Plus we'll run through the all

- 46:01Speaker 1: on Twitter. See right there, folks, aren't thinking fun. They're
- 46:06Speaker 1: thinking of the two thousand nineteen NFL Draft, which is
- 46:08Speaker 1: why they should come to the game on Sunday and
- 46:10Speaker 1: have fun and think about the two thousand eighteen season
- 46:14Speaker 1: a little bit more, even though it is in prime time,
- 46:16Speaker 1: even though the Jaguars have lost five in a row. Well,
- 46:21Speaker 1: fun wasn't an option on that one. I just you know,
- 46:24Speaker 1: I I said that I thought the atmosphere on Sunday
- 46:26Speaker 1: was fun. So come, you know, com immerse yourself in
- 46:28Speaker 1: the fun and see if maybe that doesn't change the
- 46:30Speaker 1: way that you look at I do. I'm a little
- 46:33Speaker 1: surpriser saying seven consecutive wins. That's I didn't know that
- 46:37Speaker 1: anybody would would would rise to that. Oh, that would
- 46:40Speaker 1: be fun. We've seen it before. I would watch it too.
- 46:44Speaker 1: We will watch it regardless woments. All right, how about
- 46:48Speaker 1: the all important power rankings? Starting with John? These are
- 46:52Speaker 1: strikingly similar, by the way, striking strikingly similar. Roll the graphic.
- 47:00Speaker 1: Here you go, John, I'm not sure mind changed in
- 47:06Speaker 1: the top five, six or seven. This week. We have
- 47:10Speaker 1: a we have a mic issue all of a sudden
- 47:11Speaker 1: with you here, John, We're going to share. Uh, So
- 47:15Speaker 1: go ahead and use Ashland's Mike there Ja okay uh Ashland,
- 47:21Speaker 1: your power rankings, Yes, are strikingly similar, except I have
- 47:27Speaker 1: the Jaguars at because you look at the team below them,
- 47:31Speaker 1: I think they're in the very similar boat with the Jaguars,
- 47:34Speaker 1: and because the number twenty three is significant in this
- 47:36Speaker 1: segment of our respondents to the Jags Drive Time Pull
- 47:41Speaker 1: on Twitter say that they're expecting seven straight wins. I
- 47:46Speaker 1: put the Jaguars at twenty three. That was as I
- 47:50Speaker 1: did this yesterday. Which one are you guys unplugged my mike?
- 47:52Speaker 1: By the way, was that you sex? Brian crawled under
- 47:56Speaker 1: the desk? Break better? We were tired of hearing you
- 48:01Speaker 1: all right now look, just for fun, we started a
- 48:04Speaker 1: new stegment because we spend a lot of our day
- 48:06Speaker 1: preparing for the show, and we're very hard work well,
- 48:09Speaker 1: but we see a lot of stuff on the internet,
- 48:11Speaker 1: right There's all kinds of stories. You have your websites
- 48:14Speaker 1: and Twitter feeds and Instagram stories that you follow. So
- 48:17Speaker 1: do we. So we've got a new segment called did
- 48:20Speaker 1: you see this? Because we might have something that you
- 48:23Speaker 1: haven't seen. This, by the way, is another shameless, even
- 48:27Speaker 1: gratuitous chance to get Joe Fortunato involved in our show.
- 48:31Speaker 1: We need because we just on Wednesdays, We just we
- 48:35Speaker 1: need more of that smile. So why don't you lead
- 48:39Speaker 1: us off with the did you see this? Because I'm
- 48:42Speaker 1: guessing that there's no chance that we have seen what
- 48:45Speaker 1: you have seen. All right. You know there's there's a
- 48:49Speaker 1: a stat out there that says the Jaguars have a
- 48:54Speaker 1: hard time winning when they don't score first. They have
- 48:58Speaker 1: to come out there and just punched the opponent right
- 49:00Speaker 1: in the mouth. Just come out and make a strong
- 49:02Speaker 1: first statement. All right, This video is probably what should happen.
- 49:08Speaker 1: This is a cat, okay, going after a rat. Now
- 49:13Speaker 1: watch the first move of the rat, because it's it's critical.
- 49:18Speaker 1: Cat goes out, stops though, checking it out. Now you
- 49:21Speaker 1: see against the wall, there's an about Watch the rat
- 49:24Speaker 1: bang jumps, jumps right into cat's face. Now it doesn't
- 49:28Speaker 1: get any better for this cat. Okay, that one move,
- 49:32Speaker 1: that one jump in its face took a perfectly good
- 49:37Speaker 1: cat and rendered it useless. I thought when you ran
- 49:40Speaker 1: it across the street, the cat was going to get
- 49:41Speaker 1: run over. And and you know, yeah, and you know
- 49:44Speaker 1: that that this cat's friends and family they're all on
- 49:48Speaker 1: social media. They're running this video over and over again
- 49:51Speaker 1: for this poor cat, and it's just you know, the
- 49:55Speaker 1: cat's wife is probably sitting at home wondering, Robert, I'm
- 49:58Speaker 1: married a pussy cat. Yeah, you're embarrassing me. This is
- 50:02Speaker 1: this is awful, Joe, we set you up for that.
- 50:04Speaker 1: That was beautiful. I had not seen that. But that
- 50:08Speaker 1: is exactly first move, make the first move. That is
- 50:12Speaker 1: exactly what did you see? This is all about? All right?
- 50:16Speaker 1: John Well? I had something playing about an obscure Florida
- 50:21Speaker 1: writer and myself. He's had a bad couple of NFL thirds.
- 50:24Speaker 1: I mean backup of Tuesdays. Long story short. I come
- 50:29Speaker 1: home in October or I wake up out in October
- 50:33Speaker 1: and my wife, Sherry, is that telling me the garage
- 50:35Speaker 1: door it doesn't open. Well, A few hun dollars later,
- 50:39Speaker 1: I had basically new parts for the garage door. That'st
- 50:42Speaker 1: for it. It's awesome. Tuesday morning I replaced my water heater.
- 50:49Speaker 1: Your water right? Is that in the garage? Say this
- 50:53Speaker 1: is a month later. Uh, that's the news flash. When
- 50:56Speaker 1: you come home on Brian on a Monday night and
- 51:00Speaker 1: there's a stream out of your garage when you google that,
- 51:05Speaker 1: it doesn't come up with a list of cheap, easy fixes.
- 51:09Speaker 1: So you know how I like to spend money. So
- 51:13Speaker 1: upwards of a thousand later, I've got these two problems off,
- 51:16Speaker 1: and so I've had a bad week. You could have
- 51:20Speaker 1: your water heater in your attic like some people in Florida. Yeah,
- 51:22Speaker 1: it would be a bigger problem for you with a
- 51:24Speaker 1: stream of water coming through the drywall. I talked to
- 51:26Speaker 1: my guy and my guys the guy who would placed
- 51:29Speaker 1: the water heater, and I said, the situations where water
- 51:32Speaker 1: heaters are inside, because I spent Tuesday night basically, or
- 51:36Speaker 1: Monday to Tuesday stopping up water in the garage. Um,
- 51:41Speaker 1: And he said, yeah, you know there's times where they're
- 51:44Speaker 1: in the middle of the you can't imagine. Anyway, great
- 51:47Speaker 1: day for me, but I was distracted this morning by
- 51:51Speaker 1: a story that I didn't really have time to get.
- 51:53Speaker 1: UM Max the pictures on you find it on your phone.
- 52:01Speaker 1: These things are awesome. UM. Former NFL player Charlie Rodgers
- 52:08Speaker 1: arrested in New Jersey. What about the former Michigan state
- 52:10Speaker 1: wide receiver who was drafted by the Alliance. You can't
- 52:14Speaker 1: tell that from the story yet. He's forty two. What's
- 52:18Speaker 1: notable arrested for wielding a sword and making terrorist threats
- 52:24Speaker 1: at a youth basketball event. Now that I did not say. Well,
- 52:28Speaker 1: first of all, wielding it's a great word. Brandishing was
- 52:35Speaker 1: another word used. I don't think people brandishing wheel things
- 52:39Speaker 1: enough anymore. I think that should be something we bring back.
- 52:42Speaker 1: But we brandish and wheeld this guy. The terrorist threats
- 52:48Speaker 1: aside might be a visionary yea swords. You don't see
- 52:55Speaker 1: enough people wearing stories anymore or capes. Definitely really, I mean,
- 53:00Speaker 1: I hope nobody got hurt. Otherwise I'm in Charlie Rogers.
- 53:03Speaker 1: I understand it's cold up in Jersey now, but how
- 53:05Speaker 1: even with a coat, how do you get into a
- 53:07Speaker 1: youth basketball tournament with a sword. There's way I would
- 53:12Speaker 1: think that'd be alarming walking up to that John, I
- 53:16Speaker 1: expect to see. You don't see this day and age
- 53:19Speaker 1: Brian that much sword play. So and I'll be honest,
- 53:24Speaker 1: this is one off follow I don't want to see
- 53:26Speaker 1: too much sword play unless it's at a fencing studio.
- 53:29Speaker 1: Ashland say, is this a trend? God? I hope not.
- 53:32Speaker 1: What have you got for us? Oh? Just breaking news?
- 53:35Speaker 1: On a casual Wednesday morning, Chick fil A announces nationwide
- 53:41Speaker 1: delivery service. We can have Chick Fila delivered to Jaguar's
- 53:45Speaker 1: drive time every morning now without the swords. Okay, and
- 53:51Speaker 1: so are you saying this? Are you saying tomorrow morning?
- 53:55Speaker 1: I am in support. This is great news. It's a
- 53:58Speaker 1: great day in the neighborhood. Waffle Fries coming to the
- 54:02Speaker 1: stadium at breakfast, no doubt every day. Okay, Ashlyn is happy.
- 54:07Speaker 1: Pipe that makes me pipe? I did? I did not
- 54:09Speaker 1: see that. So we've had three great segments here. I'm
- 54:12Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna take it to a more newsworthy sort
- 54:14Speaker 1: of serious note. Did you see this? So Alan Pierce
- 54:18Speaker 1: manages the I see you at Adventist Hospital in Paradise, California,
- 54:22Speaker 1: where the camp fire has become the deadliest fire in
- 54:26Speaker 1: American history. So he helped with the evacuation of patients
- 54:31Speaker 1: last Thursday as the fire swept in, and then he
- 54:33Speaker 1: hopped in his truck and headed for safety. That's his
- 54:36Speaker 1: truck before he before he got started. Um, the fires
- 54:40Speaker 1: you know, was intense, and it was dangerous and it
- 54:42Speaker 1: was ultimately impassable. Now this next photo shows what it
- 54:46Speaker 1: looked like out his window right as he is trying
- 54:49Speaker 1: to get through. Right, pretty intense. The videos if you
- 54:52Speaker 1: haven't seen them, it's really he put on in Your
- 54:56Speaker 1: Eyes by Peter Gabriel right a song We hope that
- 54:58Speaker 1: you don't have to Nick Joe Um to calm himself.
- 55:02Speaker 1: Set recorded a message on his phone for his family
- 55:05Speaker 1: just in case it didn't work out, because at that
- 55:06Speaker 1: point you think I'm not getting through. At that point
- 55:08Speaker 1: he's blocked. Right behind him is a car that's caught fire.
- 55:13Speaker 1: In front of him, our trees. A bulldozer apparently came
- 55:15Speaker 1: out of nowhere and cleared a path for him to
- 55:17Speaker 1: turn around and go back to the hospital, where he
- 55:20Speaker 1: found a lot of his Paradise neighbors and friends who
- 55:23Speaker 1: were looking for medical help. So they evacuated the hospital's
- 55:27Speaker 1: medical supplies because the hospital was on fire. They went
- 55:30Speaker 1: out to the helipad where the helicopter was, and they
- 55:33Speaker 1: trioshed an emergency room so that they could help everyone
- 55:38Speaker 1: who was injured until help arrived to help get them
- 55:41Speaker 1: all out of there. Um. I heard this morning that
- 55:45Speaker 1: Toyota is giving Alan Pierce a brand new truck. That
- 55:49Speaker 1: truck the lights were melted, the the you know, the
- 55:54Speaker 1: tail lights were melted, the truck was burned. The mirrors,
- 55:58Speaker 1: the rearview mirror, not the review, and the side mirrors
- 56:00Speaker 1: were melted as well. Heroic effort. And he's not the
- 56:04Speaker 1: only one. There are a lot of men and women,
- 56:06Speaker 1: both first responders and just average everyday people who, because
- 56:10Speaker 1: of the circumstances, are living a heroic life right now
- 56:13Speaker 1: in helping their neighbor. You here all the time, love
- 56:15Speaker 1: your neighbor. Well, there's a lot of damage, there's a
- 56:18Speaker 1: lot of suffering going on right now, but when you
- 56:20Speaker 1: see that, there's a lot of love out there as well.
- 56:22Speaker 1: So um good an Alan Pierce, the way that you
- 56:27Speaker 1: handled that so hopefully, Yeah, fantastic. So did you see
