0:17
Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive Time? Ryan Sex steps to John Ashley. Jaguars
0:25
Speaker 1: Drive Time starts right now. Good morning, and welcome Jaguars
0:30
Speaker 1: Drive Time. Friday morning, getting ready to head to Indianapolis
0:34
Speaker 1: tomorrow to take on the Colts on Sunday. Head coach
0:37
Speaker 1: Done Brown joins us. In about ten minutes, dish his
0:41
Speaker 1: coffee is waiting, will tell him that you've already had
0:44
Speaker 1: to sit with Yeah, I kind of wanted to just
0:46
Speaker 1: take it and see what would happen, but I didn't.
0:48
Speaker 1: I didn't want to get fired. So you'd like to
0:51
Speaker 1: see my Ona show next week? Maybe just me stories
0:56
Speaker 1: out of all? Right, let's get right into big things
0:59
Speaker 1: for a head coach Doug going to it her own
1:01
Speaker 1: joins us. Big thing one is fight for it. The
1:04
Speaker 1: playoffs are still in the picture, but as of right
1:07
Speaker 1: now they're very far away. You have to win on
1:09
Speaker 1: Sunday to continue to talk about the playoffs. It's not
1:12
Speaker 1: going to be easy. It's on the table, but you're
1:14
Speaker 1: going to have to fight for it. And that starts
1:16
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Big thing too. It's on Nick. There's no
1:20
Speaker 1: other way around it. All of the pressure is on
1:22
Speaker 1: Nick Foles show up shoulders. But he was brought here
1:24
Speaker 1: to win big games during this time and be the
1:28
Speaker 1: difference during the second half of the season. That's what
1:30
Speaker 1: you paid him eighty eight million dollars to do, is
1:32
Speaker 1: to win games. November December January. Big thing three is
1:36
Speaker 1: the culture. Nick Foles mentioned culture many times in his
1:40
Speaker 1: press conference. He wants to establish a winning culture the
1:43
Speaker 1: right way. He talked a lot about building relationships while
1:46
Speaker 1: he was rehabbing that injury. Hopefully that pays off the
1:48
Speaker 1: second half of the season, and that starts Sunday. All right.
1:52
Speaker 1: So I don't know why people know it or not,
1:53
Speaker 1: but I write big Things, yes, all right, my passion
1:56
Speaker 1: by so that you can look at them. But I
1:57
Speaker 1: ran them, and this morning I'm questioned, um whether fight
2:01
Speaker 1: for it is there is the right phrase for big
2:04
Speaker 1: things one after last night? Right, of course I wrote
2:06
Speaker 1: those yesterday. But we can't go anywhere without talking for
2:09
Speaker 1: at least a moment about the happening at the end
2:12
Speaker 1: of the Steelers Browns game last night. Um No, matter
2:16
Speaker 1: where you go today this weekend, that will be the
2:18
Speaker 1: topic of conversation. Sad for the Browns that even when
2:22
Speaker 1: they do things right and win cut Antonio Callaway right
2:26
Speaker 1: and look like a franchise that's doing things right, they
2:28
Speaker 1: have that. That is I told Sheland this morning. The
2:32
Speaker 1: first view I saw of it was the view looking
2:34
Speaker 1: through the quarterback to Garrett where he was, you know,
2:36
Speaker 1: bringing the helmet over the top of the Steelers defender.
2:39
Speaker 1: And then when I got any of this morning, I
2:40
Speaker 1: saw the real view of it. Vicious, vicious, yeah, and
2:44
Speaker 1: it was I guess the only thing that would be
2:49
Speaker 1: a saving Grayson Miles Garrett. I don't think it's premeditated,
2:53
Speaker 1: but you wonder what went into that escalating to that
2:58
Speaker 1: that quickly. Um, you kept looking for something that Rudolph
3:02
Speaker 1: had done, and I get that he has sort of
3:04
Speaker 1: grabbed his face masks a little bit on the ground,
3:06
Speaker 1: but there there's nothing you do though, nothing that gets
3:10
Speaker 1: done to you where you swing the helmet like that
3:13
Speaker 1: and connect with the guy on top of the head.
3:17
Speaker 1: I guess we've all seen skirmishes that involved things like
3:22
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph, that involved things like Marquis Pouncey, who was
3:25
Speaker 1: sort of kicking at the side. But you've never seen them,
3:27
Speaker 1: I was Garrett thing. I mean, it's it's so it's Uh.
3:30
Speaker 1: The first thought I had was Albert Haynesworth against Dallas
3:32
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and six where he missed tried
3:35
Speaker 1: to stomp on Andre Garad's head. That was That's the
3:39
Speaker 1: most vicious I can recall in the last twenty five
3:41
Speaker 1: years that particular play until this one. That got five games.
3:46
Speaker 1: This has to get six. This has to be a
3:48
Speaker 1: year done for the rest of the season for the moment. Uh. Yeah,
3:52
Speaker 1: and you worry it might be and and I guess
3:55
Speaker 1: I don't. I've never heard you always heard things about
3:59
Speaker 1: Haynesworth that uh, stories about him were legendary. There was
4:04
Speaker 1: baseball bat incident of Tennessee when he was playing. So yeah,
4:10
Speaker 1: this seems had a character from iles Garrett. I not
4:14
Speaker 1: so this year. He's had a couple of skirmishes. Yeah,
4:18
Speaker 1: I can't see where he plays the gennesseeas. No, it's
4:21
Speaker 1: just it seems like it has to be at the point.
4:24
Speaker 1: And I saw a stat from ESPN that said with
4:27
Speaker 1: him in the game, the Browns are like twelve on defense,
4:30
Speaker 1: they give up five point three yards per play, and
4:32
Speaker 1: with him out of the game, they give up six
4:34
Speaker 1: point five yards per play, which is the difference between
4:37
Speaker 1: twelve and thirty first. So that's a massive loss. If
4:40
Speaker 1: he goes down to a team that's won two in
4:42
Speaker 1: a row, is that I think they're two and oh
4:44
Speaker 1: in the division. Yeah, they've got a little something going here,
4:47
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you're talking about their best
4:49
Speaker 1: defensive player being gone for the year and John not
4:52
Speaker 1: just gone for the year, but a a black mark
4:54
Speaker 1: on his reputation. Yeah. I mean, obviously you can change
5:00
Speaker 1: and pull out of these things if you're him over
5:02
Speaker 1: the course of a career, but for right now that
5:04
Speaker 1: this is what he is, and it's it's a it's
5:07
Speaker 1: a shame. It's it seemed weird that it happened when
5:11
Speaker 1: it did. You wonder what was leading up to it,
5:15
Speaker 1: you know, any if there was anything, he knows, if
5:17
Speaker 1: it even matters, you just don't want it in the game.
5:20
Speaker 1: That's we all can agree on that. So going back
5:22
Speaker 1: to big things, big thing one fight for it. Reggie
5:25
Speaker 1: Hayward I thought was very good about this yesterday saying
5:27
Speaker 1: it's not going to be easy, and if everyone buys in,
5:30
Speaker 1: you're capable of getting to the playoffs. But that is
5:32
Speaker 1: the key, is that the entire locker room has to
5:34
Speaker 1: buy him. But I kind of get the sense that
5:36
Speaker 1: they have in the locker room this week. Everyone does
5:38
Speaker 1: seem focus. No one's really given up. You know, some
5:41
Speaker 1: people have asked me that, you know, how does everyone
5:44
Speaker 1: actually buy into this when you're four and five? But
5:46
Speaker 1: I have no reason to believe that they haven't. Here's
5:48
Speaker 1: the question I have. I didn't feel like anyone had
5:52
Speaker 1: not They were all bought in a four and four, right,
5:55
Speaker 1: But I didn't get the sense that they fought real hard.
5:58
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they didn't play hard, but I
6:00
Speaker 1: didn't get the sense they had that fight for it
6:01
Speaker 1: mentality in London against Houston. And I guess the reason
6:04
Speaker 1: why it's, well, so what's different from last week to
6:08
Speaker 1: this week? Your back is further into the corner, you
6:11
Speaker 1: have fewer opportunities. Yeah, I didn't necessarily think that the
6:16
Speaker 1: fight was gone, maybe until the second half last week.
6:19
Speaker 1: I think if if they had gotten three of the
6:20
Speaker 1: five sacks that they had their hands on, uh, they're
6:23
Speaker 1: probably leading at halftime. And if if if you hadn't
6:27
Speaker 1: had the DJ Chark play. I mean in the first
6:29
Speaker 1: half you're still lead or at the beginning of the
6:31
Speaker 1: second um So I wonder if a couple of things
6:35
Speaker 1: had gone different, if we'd feel different about the fight.
6:37
Speaker 1: Tony dun Joeys used to say, uh, when when teams
6:42
Speaker 1: are running on you, it looks like you're not fighting
6:44
Speaker 1: very hard, and that it's sometimes the case that you're
6:48
Speaker 1: just getting run on. It's not that you're fighting. So
6:51
Speaker 1: maybe they were just getting beat and you know the
6:55
Speaker 1: fight that I always believe that fight in a team
6:59
Speaker 1: stays until you're out of the playoffs. Camaraderie stays until
7:02
Speaker 1: your out of the playoffs is locker room. It is
7:05
Speaker 1: very together. They're all on one page. I think if
7:07
Speaker 1: they win Sunday, they stay on it. If not, then
7:10
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're four and six and things
7:12
Speaker 1: started creeping in that. You know, you wonder if every
7:16
Speaker 1: guy is going to give every play that always thinks
7:18
Speaker 1: in when you're the fight's not the issue, then Nick
7:20
Speaker 1: has to be the difference, because that's the only thing
7:23
Speaker 1: that's different this week is you get Nick Fools. Everyone
7:26
Speaker 1: is healthy, right, You're healthier, Maybe you get the quarterback
7:28
Speaker 1: down when you have your hands on Yeah, that would
7:31
Speaker 1: be helpful. Agreed. That was one play really though, that
7:34
Speaker 1: was the one. It was the one that wasn't It
7:37
Speaker 1: was the one play the first half. I watched the
7:39
Speaker 1: whole first There were five, but there was one game
7:42
Speaker 1: changing play, just one, and that's set up a first
7:46
Speaker 1: down inside the red zone which turned into the touchdown
7:50
Speaker 1: that made it. The others you can go back and
7:52
Speaker 1: trail away and figure out what those plays really meant,
7:55
Speaker 1: but there was really only one. So then if the
7:57
Speaker 1: case is that the fight is the same, than the
8:00
Speaker 1: difference has to be nicked this week. Yeah, but you
8:03
Speaker 1: go back if John's talk about those five sacks. We
8:05
Speaker 1: know what happens when this team, especially this defense, gets momentum.
8:09
Speaker 1: I think if they get him down three of those
8:11
Speaker 1: five times, the game changes because we've seen what happens
8:14
Speaker 1: when this defense. Also, there also was a lack of
8:18
Speaker 1: cohesion and offense, so I don't think you can say
8:20
Speaker 1: the same thing unless they're going to score. There was
8:22
Speaker 1: one play that you can point to specifically that you
8:24
Speaker 1: get that one they're kicking a field goal. You've got
8:27
Speaker 1: a different game, all right. When we come Back head

10:18
Speaker 1: Friday morning, as head coach Doun Moron joins us for
10:22
Speaker 1: coffee with the coach. Coach, how's it going. It's going well.
10:25
Speaker 1: How's the good Yeah, working hard, getting ready to go.
10:31
Speaker 1: So I had a big game this week and get
10:34
Speaker 1: ready to go on the road. Obvious question, um Nick
10:37
Speaker 1: being back, Any difference, any difference in what he brings
10:41
Speaker 1: in preparation? Uh, I used to talk about what he's
10:44
Speaker 1: meant this week. Yeah, I mean there's always gonna be
10:46
Speaker 1: a difference, just based on personality and you know of
10:51
Speaker 1: each player. But you know, I think with the quarterback
10:53
Speaker 1: position obviously you know now you know someone that's come
10:56
Speaker 1: back who you know, had a lot of experience and um,
11:00
Speaker 1: you know, who's been excited to come back, someone that
11:02
Speaker 1: has been working, um, you know, these past couple of
11:05
Speaker 1: weeks to get himself ready and prepared, which obviously helps
11:09
Speaker 1: the twenty one day window. Um, but he was someone that,
11:13
Speaker 1: you know, so when Nick was injured and once you know,
11:16
Speaker 1: he got to a point where he can basically get
11:18
Speaker 1: out of bed, you know, he was back in the
11:21
Speaker 1: locker room, supporting gardener and supporting his teammates both offensively, defensively,
11:26
Speaker 1: special teams and you know, so he's been around a team,
11:29
Speaker 1: he's been around for a while, so it's not like
11:31
Speaker 1: we're inserting someone that's that went away, you know, and
11:34
Speaker 1: and rehabbed and then came back into the building and
11:37
Speaker 1: didn't do anything and then boom just showed up. So
11:39
Speaker 1: you know, his his his his influence has been around
11:43
Speaker 1: the whole time. Do you recall being at this point
11:45
Speaker 1: of the season with an injury sheet as um as
11:48
Speaker 1: light as yours is, with a team that's as healthy
11:50
Speaker 1: as yours is in November? Uh? Yeah, I mean it's
11:53
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you know, it's just luck, you know,
11:56
Speaker 1: I mean you just yeah. I mean, you know a
11:59
Speaker 1: lot of it is, and you know you spend a
12:01
Speaker 1: lot of time and and and making sure that you're
12:05
Speaker 1: watching the team and preparing them the proper way so
12:08
Speaker 1: that you know you can be healthy and fresh at
12:11
Speaker 1: this time. I think that, um, you know, you always
12:15
Speaker 1: want help, that's what you're looking for. I think that
12:18
Speaker 1: you know it's probably not gonna happen, but you know,
12:21
Speaker 1: I like where we are right now from a standpoint
12:23
Speaker 1: of health. But you know, you've got to keep going
12:26
Speaker 1: because you know, it's It's kind of like when we
12:29
Speaker 1: played the Cincinnati game. You know, we go to Cincinnati.
12:31
Speaker 1: I thought we were pretty healthy team and I felt
12:34
Speaker 1: really good, and you know, all of a sudden after
12:35
Speaker 1: the game, you have a rash of injuries and you're wondering,
12:38
Speaker 1: you know, who's gonna come back and who's not. So
12:41
Speaker 1: I think it's a week to week thing. But where
12:42
Speaker 1: we are right now coming off to buy is good.
12:44
Speaker 1: I think if there's mentioning, um, you know, look certainly
12:47
Speaker 1: big part of it. The other side, if there is,
12:48
Speaker 1: you had a lot of guys who were committed. It
12:50
Speaker 1: seems this year, I mean Leonard was talking the locker
12:52
Speaker 1: room yesterday about his discipline to his diet, and you
12:55
Speaker 1: know he hasn't been been on your injury report. You
12:57
Speaker 1: have Calais, who we did a story with, who's spending
12:59
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars this year to keep his body in
13:02
Speaker 1: tiptop shape. It seems like a lot of your guys
13:04
Speaker 1: are committed to going above and beyond this year and
13:06
Speaker 1: that's made a difference. Yeah, I think, um, you know,
13:10
Speaker 1: the way you take care of yourself and it's not
13:12
Speaker 1: obviously you know, during the season, just one phase of it.
13:15
Speaker 1: I think you know, when people have asked me about
13:18
Speaker 1: players that I've been around that played, you know, close
13:20
Speaker 1: to fifteen years, and I've been around a couple of them,
13:23
Speaker 1: you know, all different types of people, all different types
13:26
Speaker 1: of guys, different backgrounds, whatever you say, but the one
13:29
Speaker 1: common denominator that all those players have, you know, is
13:32
Speaker 1: that you know they're constantly in a cycle for the
13:36
Speaker 1: full year preparing their body to play. And I think
13:39
Speaker 1: there's much greater awareness now for all athletes, not just
13:43
Speaker 1: football players, of you know, making sure that you know
13:47
Speaker 1: their their bodies are in this year round cycle of
13:50
Speaker 1: of how to how to train to uh get through
13:53
Speaker 1: a season. Um, you know, relatively healthy. How much do
13:57
Speaker 1: you think returning to health for the line backer group.
14:01
Speaker 1: For a while seemed like Miles was the only guy
14:03
Speaker 1: left standard. Um, how much should that help with your
14:06
Speaker 1: run defense? Well, I I think it will. I think
14:09
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna be challenged. You know, we're facing
14:11
Speaker 1: one of the best offensive lines in the league, and
14:13
Speaker 1: I think you know, Mac is probably one of the
14:15
Speaker 1: more underrated running backs in this league for what what
14:18
Speaker 1: he can do, and um, you know, it puts a real, um,
14:22
Speaker 1: real real challenge for you on on tackling. You know,
14:25
Speaker 1: you have to make sure you wrap up and you
14:26
Speaker 1: run through uh those tackles and um, you know, he
14:29
Speaker 1: has a great jump cut and you know we've talked
14:31
Speaker 1: about that all week, so um, you know, but when
14:35
Speaker 1: the linebackers come back, and you know, we've got to
14:37
Speaker 1: do a good job against against the run, and it's tough.
14:39
Speaker 1: You know, people, you know a lot of times when
14:42
Speaker 1: you're when people are switching out and you have some
14:44
Speaker 1: injuries and you know, hey, I'm a guy that now
14:47
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I'm playing next to a guy
14:48
Speaker 1: that I haven't really played a lot with, you know,
14:51
Speaker 1: and we're playing off each other a lot. You know,
14:54
Speaker 1: what we do. You know, it creates a challenge and
14:57
Speaker 1: and a lot of times, uh, you know you'll see
15:01
Speaker 1: the players, you know, sometimes you see the performances go
15:03
Speaker 1: up and then you know you've got the right combination.
15:05
Speaker 1: And sometimes you see the performance you know, maybe not
15:09
Speaker 1: doing as well because hey, you know they're worried, you know,
15:13
Speaker 1: making sure this other person or whoever you put in
15:15
Speaker 1: the lineup is doing it. So I think it goes
15:17
Speaker 1: either way. But we're happy to be uh at full strength.
15:20
Speaker 1: I think, you know, Mark Collins does a really good job,
15:22
Speaker 1: you know, coaching and teaching the linebacker. We've got some
15:25
Speaker 1: veteran guys back there, we have some young guys back there,
15:27
Speaker 1: so we have a pretty good mix. When you think
15:29
Speaker 1: of the Colts, most often you think of offense, but
15:31
Speaker 1: their defense has a couple of guys this year. Uh,
15:34
Speaker 1: give me your opinion of how Houston is played. Coming
15:38
Speaker 1: in as a free agents, got seven sacks and Darius
15:40
Speaker 1: Leonard's back after missing a couple of games. Those two
15:42
Speaker 1: guys in particular seem to be playing a pretty high level. Yeah,
15:45
Speaker 1: I think you know, the one thing when you look
15:48
Speaker 1: at them defensively, I think from an overall, uh, the
15:51
Speaker 1: one thing you see is just how hard they play.
15:54
Speaker 1: I mean they play extremely hard. And everyone plays hard.
15:57
Speaker 1: I understand that, but you know, these guys is a
16:00
Speaker 1: really going I mean they're they're humming on all cylinders
16:03
Speaker 1: and um, and they do a great job of of
16:06
Speaker 1: trying to create turnovers. Um. You know that's something that
16:09
Speaker 1: you can see is is well coached. They're a good
16:11
Speaker 1: tackling football team. Obviously you can see that on tape. Um,
16:16
Speaker 1: They've got guys up front that you know, are really
16:19
Speaker 1: playing extremely well. I think when you look at like
16:22
Speaker 1: you said, uh, Houston is doing a good job. Treat
16:26
Speaker 1: on the other side is good. You know, the three
16:29
Speaker 1: technique I think is an underrated guy. You know for him,
16:31
Speaker 1: you know all three, Um, they they have some good guys.
16:34
Speaker 1: And then obviously you know Leonard is is the guy
16:37
Speaker 1: that can make every single play, you know, both in
16:39
Speaker 1: run and pass and um, he's just a great player,
16:42
Speaker 1: you know, east to west and covers a ton of ground.
16:45
Speaker 1: And then you go in the back end and you know,
16:48
Speaker 1: you know that they mix it up pretty good. But
16:50
Speaker 1: you know it's stuff I mean, and when they when
16:52
Speaker 1: they're in his own coverage. You got a guy like
16:54
Speaker 1: you know, Hooker can go sideline to sideline, so if
16:57
Speaker 1: that ball is up there too long, he can get
16:59
Speaker 1: his hands on it. And then you have all these
17:01
Speaker 1: tight windows with guys that can run and get their
17:03
Speaker 1: hands on balls and tip. And you know another guy
17:06
Speaker 1: that that came over, that Hunt kid, I mean, he's
17:09
Speaker 1: playing really well for him. So they've gotten some players
17:11
Speaker 1: that maybe didn't have weren't playing as well on other teams,
17:15
Speaker 1: but they're playing very well for them now. And Indy,
17:18
Speaker 1: you've said that you've enjoyed being around this team this season,
17:21
Speaker 1: especially this season. We asked Leonard in the locker room
17:24
Speaker 1: and he said that this team is closest ever since
17:27
Speaker 1: I've been here. But he really couldn't put a finger
17:28
Speaker 1: on why that is. Why do you think this season
17:31
Speaker 1: they're so close? You know, I just think that you know,
17:35
Speaker 1: when you spend a lot of time together and you
17:37
Speaker 1: talk about communication, and you're talking about you know, opening
17:40
Speaker 1: up and and and and keeping things, um staying on
17:45
Speaker 1: top of things, meaning that you know, when things occur,
17:48
Speaker 1: you don't suppress them, you you bring them up. You
17:50
Speaker 1: bring everything to the forefront and you know you can
17:53
Speaker 1: work your way through it. I think there's a good
17:55
Speaker 1: commitment to UM doing what's what's best for the team
17:59
Speaker 1: between and you know, I can only say for myself
18:02
Speaker 1: and the players. You know, we work on it, UM,
18:05
Speaker 1: you know, and trying to make sure that we're doing
18:07
Speaker 1: everything we can that's what's best for the team. They
18:09
Speaker 1: have input in it. UM. You know, we we listen
18:12
Speaker 1: to each other and you know, we make decisions and UM,
18:16
Speaker 1: I just think we have guys that are you know,
18:18
Speaker 1: more team oriented, you know, thinking about the team and
18:22
Speaker 1: you know, pulling for each other. And I think you know,
18:25
Speaker 1: you know what, it takes a while too before you
18:28
Speaker 1: can get you know, everything right, and you know you
18:31
Speaker 1: just want to make sure because it doesn't take many
18:33
Speaker 1: people to UM screw that up. I mean, you know
18:36
Speaker 1: you can you know, I was always concerned when I
18:38
Speaker 1: was a line coach and I had a smaller room, UM,
18:41
Speaker 1: and I can only go back to New Orleans where
18:43
Speaker 1: we had a great group of players, and you know,
18:45
Speaker 1: if they were going to bring a player in that
18:47
Speaker 1: had UM, you know maybe what let's call it red flags.
18:52
Speaker 1: You know, My concern wasn't not being not not being
18:54
Speaker 1: able to handle that player. My concern was what that
18:57
Speaker 1: player's influence is going to be on the rest of
18:59
Speaker 1: the guys in the room. And I think one of
19:02
Speaker 1: the most important things. You know, everyone wants talent, you
19:06
Speaker 1: want you want the best talent, best talent, best talent,
19:09
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you want the
19:12
Speaker 1: character and you want good people. And a lot of
19:16
Speaker 1: times in this league, what I've seen is you've seen
19:17
Speaker 1: people with good character. You know, a lot of times
19:20
Speaker 1: are overachievers, you know that have had to work for
19:23
Speaker 1: everything in their whole life, and you need them, uh,
19:25
Speaker 1: you know, on your team and and the team oriented.
19:28
Speaker 1: And it's it's those teams are pretty successful when you
19:33
Speaker 1: look at it. Now there's a balance. And then when
19:35
Speaker 1: you have a talented player and I've been fortunate and
19:38
Speaker 1: we have some here that are very talented, that are
19:40
Speaker 1: that are good team players, that's that's great, that that's
19:45
Speaker 1: what you need. And you know, when you have that,
19:48
Speaker 1: and then you could just increase in the talent with
19:50
Speaker 1: the character. You know, then you got a chance to
19:52
Speaker 1: be a really really good football team or you can
19:55
Speaker 1: be really good at whatever you choose to do. When
19:57
Speaker 1: you have people around you like that, it yeah, it is.
20:02
Speaker 1: It is. But you know, and and people change, I
20:05
Speaker 1: mean you can you can work on them and and
20:07
Speaker 1: do that. Um. I mean it's never never too late
20:09
Speaker 1: to change. I mean, you know I've always been you know,
20:13
Speaker 1: try to take a lot of pride and you know
20:15
Speaker 1: that I still have a lot to learn to a
20:17

22:46
Speaker 1: all this fighting going on, you guys want to fight
22:48
Speaker 1: for me and vote for the Pro Bowl. Thanks good stuff.
22:53
Speaker 1: He's not shy. He's not shy. Go with what works,
22:57
Speaker 1: and that is what people are talking about today. All right,
22:59
Speaker 1: tie for he will, he won't. He might For Sunday's
23:02
Speaker 1: game against the Colts, John, you have Miles Cheff, Well,
23:09
Speaker 1: he will play better than he did overall for the
23:14
Speaker 1: first nine games. And I think he's a guy, Brian,
23:17
Speaker 1: who you targeted a lot in terms of being a
23:21
Speaker 1: big player. For the first year nine games, he was inconsistent.
23:25
Speaker 1: I think Doug addressed it without saying his name and
23:28
Speaker 1: others name when he was talking about the inconsistency of
23:31
Speaker 1: young players around him. I think Miles really uh at
23:35
Speaker 1: times suffered for the inexperienced around him and trying to
23:40
Speaker 1: do a little too much. Um, he won't keep doing
23:44
Speaker 1: that's my point. Um. In this gap control defense, especially
23:48
Speaker 1: against Carolina, Miles was trying to make up for young
23:51
Speaker 1: players around him and got out of his lane. And
23:55
Speaker 1: since that game, I think played much much better. For
23:58
Speaker 1: the most part, I didn't think he played horribly against
24:01
Speaker 1: the Texans. Um that felt like a game that got
24:04
Speaker 1: away from the defense more than anything late in terms
24:07
Speaker 1: of the running game. And he might in this second
24:10
Speaker 1: half the season, now that he's gotten comfortable, now that
24:13
Speaker 1: he knows what's around him, he might wind up turned
24:15
Speaker 1: in the best seven games of his career. You've been
24:17
Speaker 1: waiting for that, I know, well, Um, I think that
24:20
Speaker 1: is where he's at right now in his career. So
24:22
Speaker 1: I think of Miles as one of those players who
24:25
Speaker 1: should be better than he is, like a lot of people,
24:27
Speaker 1: and I think he suffers from just you know, he's
24:29
Speaker 1: a goofy kid. He's got some maturity issues. There's some
24:31
Speaker 1: growing up that needs to be that needs to take place.
24:34
Speaker 1: As Doug talked about, guys can change. He's the guy
24:38
Speaker 1: if he changes, if he becomes that guy who is
24:41
Speaker 1: as focused on football and taking care of himself and
24:45
Speaker 1: being that leader because he's the middle linebacker. He's supposed
24:48
Speaker 1: to and he's got the characteristics to do it. It's
24:50
Speaker 1: not like he's one of those guys you google. Look,
24:52
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey's never going to be a leader. He just
24:54
Speaker 1: doesn't want to do it. I think Miles does. I
24:58
Speaker 1: think if Myles gets serious about it, I think Miles
25:01
Speaker 1: can be what what I and what you see in him.
25:04
Speaker 1: And if he is, then this Jaguars team is up
25:06
Speaker 1: for the fight. But we're talking about you know, is
25:08
Speaker 1: there the fight there? He's the guy a question, right
25:11
Speaker 1: is he dialed in enough to be ready? Because if
25:15
Speaker 1: he plays well, this defense plays well. And if he
25:18
Speaker 1: doesn't play well, then this then this defense lacks something.
25:22
Speaker 1: He's supposed to be that sideline to sideline, sack, forced fumble,
25:27
Speaker 1: pick up, a fumble, intercepted pass, cover the tight end.
25:31
Speaker 1: He's supposed to be that guy. He's the guy who
25:33
Speaker 1: has the highest ceiling and he carries the Jaguars with
25:36
Speaker 1: him if he gets there. Yeah. I noticed a little
25:39
Speaker 1: bit of a difference with Miles, and it's little things.
25:41
Speaker 1: But during the locker room availability this week, normally Miles
25:44
Speaker 1: he doesn't really want to talk to us. We have
25:46
Speaker 1: to go up to him. I was talking to Klaus
25:48
Speaker 1: and Miles comes in with Klis and we ran um.
25:52
Speaker 1: Sound from it. I think Wednesday he stood there and
25:54
Speaker 1: said we have to win this game. Las was talking about,
25:56
Speaker 1: you know, one game at a time, one day at
25:58
Speaker 1: a time. Miles point blank says, no, we have to
26:01
Speaker 1: win on Sunday. I don't care involuntarily came in to
26:04
Speaker 1: talk about it. I don't care if any if Calais
26:08
Speaker 1: mentors any player other than Miles Jack. If he puts
26:11
Speaker 1: his arm around Miles Jack every day and leads him
26:14
Speaker 1: in the right direction, yeah, I'm not so sure that's
26:17
Speaker 1: the same town. Um, then then this team benefits greatly. Yes,
26:22
Speaker 1: it sounds like you just want to hug right, you
26:24
Speaker 1: know what, you just need John's arm around. I really
26:27
Speaker 1: don't really gotta be okay today. I really I'm fine.
26:31
Speaker 1: I really think that Miles has got to take his
26:33
Speaker 1: game to another level. Start Sunday, all right, Brian, you
26:36
Speaker 1: have I say he'll earn some Pro Bowl votes this week.
26:40
Speaker 1: He'll have a hundred yards rushing against the Colts and
26:44
Speaker 1: dred forty yards from scrimmage. Um, he wasn't a factor
26:51
Speaker 1: in the game in London against Houston. I don't think
26:54
Speaker 1: that will be the case the rest of the year.
26:57
Speaker 1: He won't go missing in action. I think Nick Foles
27:00
Speaker 1: opens up a world with possibilities for him. Um and
27:03
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay with he might set the Jaguars single
27:06
Speaker 1: season rushing record. It's six yards. He needs sixteen o seven.
27:11
Speaker 1: That means he needs to average a hundred eleven rushing
27:14
Speaker 1: yards per game. That's absolutely doable from him. It means
27:17
Speaker 1: he has to have a couple of big games because
27:19
Speaker 1: he's going to see a couple of good defenses as well,
27:21
Speaker 1: but he's capable of a hundred eleven yards a game. Um.
27:25
Speaker 1: It Just for side interest, he has eleven and twenty
27:31
Speaker 1: six all purpose yards. He needs a hundred and twenty
27:34
Speaker 1: four all purpose yards per game to set the franchise record,
27:39
Speaker 1: which is nine eighty from the same season that Marie
27:42
Speaker 1: Jones threw led the team in rushing. So I guess
27:44
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is if he gets the rushing record,
27:46
Speaker 1: it's a good bet he gets the yards from scrimmage
27:48
Speaker 1: record as well, and that would be big for him
27:50
Speaker 1: coming into this year. I don't think any of us
27:52
Speaker 1: thought that was possible. I'd be surprised if he doesn't
27:55
Speaker 1: get the second one at this point because of how
27:58
Speaker 1: he's been used in the passing game and because of
28:00
Speaker 1: how I think Foles will continue to use him in
28:03
Speaker 1: the passing game. Um, I think he's got a shot
28:05
Speaker 1: at the first one you're talking about. Because usually to
28:09
Speaker 1: get huge rushing seasons, Mojo's was unusual in the sense
28:13
Speaker 1: that it felt like Mojo in two thousand eleven got
28:16
Speaker 1: six yards four yards at a time. I mean it
28:20
Speaker 1: was a grinded out, physically taxing season, and I think
28:24
Speaker 1: he had one run over thirty five. I could be
28:27
Speaker 1: wrong that he didn't have very many. And uh, it's
28:31
Speaker 1: much easier and more capable to get there. Leonards perfectly
28:35
Speaker 1: capable in seven games of reeling off you know, four
28:39
Speaker 1: or forty yard runs. He's that guy right now. So
28:41
Speaker 1: I think he's got a real shot at You think
28:42
Speaker 1: there's five runs over sixty yards since, which leads to
28:45
Speaker 1: the league, which is surprising considering how many explosive backs.
28:49
Speaker 1: You would think that guys like Dalvin Cook and Ezekiel
28:52
Speaker 1: Elliott and se Kwan Barkley would be challenging him. In that.
28:55
Speaker 1: But he's got five now and this kid goes, he
28:57
Speaker 1: goes the other thing. And by the way, we just
28:59
Speaker 1: got done. Joe and I did finishing up perspectives the
29:02
Speaker 1: Maurice Jones Drew version of our season podcast, and he
29:05
Speaker 1: tells a great story about that two thousand and eleven season.
29:09
Speaker 1: He was injured the second half of the season, had
29:11
Speaker 1: a hip flexor had a knee, and week to week
29:13
Speaker 1: the offensive line was urging him to practice and play
29:17
Speaker 1: because that was something that could hang their hat on
29:20
Speaker 1: winning the rushing title. The rest of the season was
29:22
Speaker 1: a wash obviously. Um, And it just makes me think,
29:27
Speaker 1: when it's healthy. Yeah, it's remarkable that he's healthy. And
29:30
Speaker 1: I'll say it because I said it. I didn't think
29:32
Speaker 1: he was a guy capable of playing sixteen games a
29:35
Speaker 1: season because of his physical Earl Campbell esque running style.
29:39
Speaker 1: I think he's got a legitimate shot at both a
29:41
Speaker 1: real At the very least, we'll be talking about how
29:44
Speaker 1: many yards he needs, I believe the last two or
29:47
Speaker 1: three weeks. If he gets a hundred and seven today
29:50
Speaker 1: or a hundred nineteen tomorrow, um, we'll be talking about
29:53
Speaker 1: him being involved in that. And I think it will
29:55
Speaker 1: definitely help. I would be stunned if full his presence
30:00
Speaker 1: in the line it doesn't help. I thought at the end,
30:02
Speaker 1: especially against the Texans, they knew, let's take away four net,
30:07
Speaker 1: let's do these things against the run, and there's a
30:09
Speaker 1: limited amount to where they're going to hurt us in
30:11
Speaker 1: the past. I think Folds his presence makes that limited
30:15
Speaker 1: amount much less limited, and it should open things up
30:18
Speaker 1: for Net. And I really think Brian, we've talked about
30:20
Speaker 1: this a lot, I really think Folds his presence he
30:24
Speaker 1: is going to see things in the line of scrimmage
30:26
Speaker 1: that enable them to get the ball to four net
30:28
Speaker 1: in the passing game, in the running game much more effectively. Again,
30:33
Speaker 1: it's not a knock on Gardener. He's only seen X
30:35
Speaker 1: number of things in his NFL life. Folds has seen
30:38
Speaker 1: Next Time's ten. You know, I think after today we
30:41
Speaker 1: probably won't be talking about Gardener a whole lot, obviously
30:43
Speaker 1: because Nick comes in. So it's worth remembering for people
30:47
Speaker 1: he went four in four for anything that you might
30:51
Speaker 1: perceive as a slight right. I got in this argument
30:53
Speaker 1: with my kids last night because I was talking about
30:55
Speaker 1: a good football player on one of their teams and
30:57
Speaker 1: the other one wanted to defend himself and say, well,
30:59
Speaker 1: I'm as good as he. They're not mutuo exclusive. Nick
31:02
Speaker 1: and Gardner are not mutually exclusive. The fact that Nick
31:05
Speaker 1: is a veteran quarterback with a wealth of experience nine
31:08
Speaker 1: and two late in the season in the last two
31:10
Speaker 1: years doesn't mean that Gardner isn't a good quarterback. He's
31:13
Speaker 1: just not the same guy. I felt as I was
31:15
Speaker 1: having that argument with my son's last night. It feels
31:17
Speaker 1: the same way with the Nick and Gardner crowd. One
31:20
Speaker 1: is just getting started. One has been through the fire.
31:23
Speaker 1: That's the reason why the Jaguars have hope at four
31:25
Speaker 1: and five for being involved in this thing, right, and
31:28
Speaker 1: you should just not compare because they're just just because
31:30
Speaker 1: you say, well, Nick is this great quarterback? Doesn't he?
31:32
Speaker 1: You're saying, well, this guy isn't good at all? Right,
31:34
Speaker 1: we all saw what he did two different guys, all right, Mike,
31:37
Speaker 1: he will he won't he might? Is that guy, Nick Foles?
31:40
Speaker 1: He will lead this team he talks about in his
31:43
Speaker 1: press conference, working on building relationships and earning the trusts
31:46
Speaker 1: of the locker room during while he was rehabbing his injury.
31:49
Speaker 1: I think that is the key why they will be
31:51
Speaker 1: successful the second half of the season. You can tell
31:54
Speaker 1: how excited the guys are to play for Nick Foles.
31:57
Speaker 1: I think that is the difference the second half. He
31:59
Speaker 1: won't the stage be too big. From we've been ask
32:01
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of pressure on his shoulders
32:03
Speaker 1: on Sunday. All eyes are on him. It's a huge spotlight.
32:06
Speaker 1: He's been there before, he's done it before, he's been
32:08
Speaker 1: successful with that. It's not going to be too big
32:11
Speaker 1: for him. Too much pressure Sunday against Indianapolis, and he
32:14
Speaker 1: might throw two touchdown passes on Sunday. Calling it now,
32:18
Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna say four there five, write it
32:23
Speaker 1: down two touchdown passes d D. That's realistic. Yeah, I'd
32:30
Speaker 1: write about that, Okay, two touchdown passes if I'm right.
32:33
Speaker 1: You have to bring me a dunkin Donuts munchkin on
32:35
Speaker 1: Monday morning. Yeah, John, Well, he agreed to it. You
32:40
Speaker 1: saw it. We'll talk all right when we come back.

34:33
Speaker 1: Friday morning, NFL weekend coming up. As the Jaguars get
34:36
Speaker 1: ready to HND in the Annapolis to play the Colts.
34:39
Speaker 1: We have pick one and picket. John has Chargers at Chiefs. Well,
34:45
Speaker 1: it's uh actually in Mexico City, charging at Chiefs in
34:50
Speaker 1: Mexico City. And to me, it's the fascinating game because
34:54
Speaker 1: the Chargers are desperate and I still believe the Chargers
34:58
Speaker 1: are okay, and they're capable because they have philip rivers.
35:02
Speaker 1: They're capable because they still have a very good defense.
35:05
Speaker 1: And it's gotten to the point now with the Chiefs
35:08
Speaker 1: that if they lose one of these, if they lose
35:12
Speaker 1: a couple of these in a very you know what
35:14
Speaker 1: seems now like a very good division top to bottom,
35:17
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they start sliding back. I think
35:20
Speaker 1: the Chiefs win it, it gets really interesting for the
35:23
Speaker 1: Chiefs if they don't. The Charges are an interesting group
35:26
Speaker 1: because Philip Rivers was strong early, but he hasn't been
35:30
Speaker 1: He hasn't been that that guy the last couple of weeks,
35:33
Speaker 1: and they're starting to sort of look like an old
35:35
Speaker 1: quarter right, and then I don't like that, and that's
35:38
Speaker 1: your guy, and the personality, well, yeah, he's he's a
35:40
Speaker 1: tremendous person whether he's a tremendous quarterback or not any longer.
35:44
Speaker 1: But that's the point. Sixteen years in this thing, Now,
35:46
Speaker 1: is he done? I mean, if Eli Manning is done,
35:49
Speaker 1: they came out in the same year, then it's not
35:51
Speaker 1: out of the rum of possibility that this guy could
35:53
Speaker 1: be done. Um, this might be his last stand game.
35:56
Speaker 1: This might be that last chance to make a run.
35:58
Speaker 1: They've got enough talent that they could be a team
36:01
Speaker 1: involved in the wild card, or they could miss the
36:03
Speaker 1: playoffs altogether. And you could see him right off into
36:05
Speaker 1: the sunset. This is one of the great games last year.
36:08
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was. I think it was in it
36:11
Speaker 1: was in Los Angeles, But there was a game last
36:13
Speaker 1: year between the Charges in the Chiefs where Rivers brought
36:15
Speaker 1: him back late hit a two point conversion late Classic
36:18
Speaker 1: games in Kansas City and so which this game chiefs.
36:22
Speaker 1: But um, you know, so it's hard for me to
36:25
Speaker 1: believe that Rivers is absolutely done, can't be effective less
36:30
Speaker 1: than a year from that. But at that age it goes.
36:33
Speaker 1: It's gone for me. The last fifteen years, they were
36:35
Speaker 1: so talented coming into the year. I mean, you saw
36:38
Speaker 1: the way that they played in the playoffs last year
36:40
Speaker 1: leading in Baltimore, and those big receivers they have, and
36:43
Speaker 1: and you thought Melvin Gordon is a guy who they
36:45
Speaker 1: can get a lot out of. They haven't gotten a
36:47
Speaker 1: lot of him. They lost the two of their starting
36:49
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, they're down on defense. Um, if they're gonna
36:53
Speaker 1: do anything, it's all it's gonna be in him. Yeah,
36:55
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough situation for them. And I
36:56
Speaker 1: don't get two into the whole stadium thing with him.
36:59
Speaker 1: But when you really never play at home, which is
37:02
Speaker 1: sort of that feeling of their um, you just have
37:06
Speaker 1: to wonder if that doesn't cost a game or two somewhere. Well,
37:10
Speaker 1: the probably is they don't have many fans. The people
37:12
Speaker 1: in San Diego said, screw you. You left, and the
37:14
Speaker 1: people in l are like, we got the Rams, what
37:16
Speaker 1: do we need you for their kind? If they even
37:18
Speaker 1: care about their and right well they probably if they
37:21
Speaker 1: do at all, you right now because of what they
37:23
Speaker 1: did last year. So you're going to Mexico City now.
37:26
Speaker 1: And if there was ever a US against the World
37:28
Speaker 1: Circle of Wagons kind of moment, it would be this one.
37:30
Speaker 1: I think there should be a great game. And it's
37:32
Speaker 1: is it Monday night or Sunday night? Believe it's Monday, Yes,
37:37
Speaker 1: Monday Monday for that one. Alright, tough saying, tough matchup.
37:43
Speaker 1: The Texans up against the Ravens. They go to the Ravens.
37:46
Speaker 1: You know, the Ravens had a moment earlier this year
37:48
Speaker 1: where they looked beatable. They lost in Kansas City, which
37:51
Speaker 1: is no surprise, and then they got pounded by the
37:54
Speaker 1: Browns to give it forty points, and you thought, oh boy,
37:57
Speaker 1: you know, what is this Ravens team going to be?
37:58
Speaker 1: And since then, you know, they've beaten the Patriots, and
38:01
Speaker 1: they've beaten the Steelers, and they've played at a high
38:03
Speaker 1: level um, but they're not invincible. And the Texans as
38:07
Speaker 1: beat up as they are. I didn't think there was
38:08
Speaker 1: any way the Texans were gonna beat this team in London,
38:10
Speaker 1: not with all the injuries that they have, And yet
38:12
Speaker 1: they did because Shaun Watson has that m Houdini esque
38:17
Speaker 1: quality to him, and because they're a tough minded team,
38:19
Speaker 1: they went into Kansas City and beat the crap out
38:21
Speaker 1: of him. Um. I think the Texans win this one.
38:25
Speaker 1: I think that people might be surprised at that. UM,
38:27
Speaker 1: But I think that the Texans just have this big
38:31
Speaker 1: game mentality about them. And you know, you could argue
38:34
Speaker 1: the Ravens do too, because they beat the Patriots. UM.
38:38
Speaker 1: I just something tells me this is a Texans win.
38:41
Speaker 1: What's gonna be interesting is some team is going to
38:45
Speaker 1: figure out how to at least a slowdown Jackson Um
38:50
Speaker 1: and the Patriots tried to didn't and didn't do it
38:53
Speaker 1: very successfully. Romeo Cornell, you wonder what he'll come up
38:57
Speaker 1: with to try to come at what he does. I'm
39:01
Speaker 1: not sure there's an answer, but historically in the league,
39:04
Speaker 1: guys don't stay as invincible and as hot as this
39:07
Speaker 1: guy has been, so at some point somebody's gonna come
39:13
Speaker 1: up with what they think is a blueprint. Does it
39:16
Speaker 1: happen this week with Cornell, we'll see. Did you see
39:19
Speaker 1: the run? Of course you did. They touched down run
39:22
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati last week. And it wasn't just the spin
39:24
Speaker 1: move where he went up the middle of the field
39:26
Speaker 1: and ran away from everyone else. It was how he
39:29
Speaker 1: set the spin move up with it with his feet
39:31
Speaker 1: to the outside. There just aren't many people that can
39:33
Speaker 1: do that much less a quarterback. Well, there's just not
39:36
Speaker 1: that many athletes who have that full speed change of
39:40
Speaker 1: direction sort of thing. The one thing I see when
39:42
Speaker 1: I see him is a guy who can he do
39:45
Speaker 1: that if he gets hit low, if someone takes his
39:47
Speaker 1: knee out, and lots of quarterbacks have missed time with
39:50
Speaker 1: knee injuries, especially mobile quarterbacks. If he loses an a
39:54
Speaker 1: c L at some point in his career, is he
39:56
Speaker 1: the same guy? And I bring that up because Brunel
39:59
Speaker 1: not nearly that quick. But Brunell was a very mobile
40:01
Speaker 1: quarterback and he made a lot of guys miss because
40:03
Speaker 1: he could change direction. Then he got the a c
40:05
Speaker 1: L in and he became a pocket past and it
40:10
Speaker 1: does happen. RG three saying was very good as a
40:16
Speaker 1: rookie because teams had to defend their run once they
40:19
Speaker 1: stopped worrying about that not as effective. Um, it would
40:23
Speaker 1: strike you with some of Jackson's accuracy stuff coming out
40:26
Speaker 1: of college that he could fit into that. But so
40:29
Speaker 1: far he has defied everything so far, So who just
40:32
Speaker 1: say he can't continue to do that? At some point
40:33
Speaker 1: in his career if he has a long one, he
40:35
Speaker 1: will be a pocket passer, have to be. That's the
40:37
Speaker 1: problem with longevity with the mobile quarterbacks, and sometimes lose it.
40:42
Speaker 1: And it's Texans when this one they are rolling. Man,
40:45
Speaker 1: that is quite the street. I don't think it was
40:47
Speaker 1: gonna catch them all right, my pick one and pick it.
40:51
Speaker 1: Patriots at Eagles rematch of Super Bowl two years ago.
40:55
Speaker 1: Tom Brady had an interview earlier this week and they
40:57
Speaker 1: asked him, are you over that Super Bowl? Said? Am
41:00
Speaker 1: I over it? I think about it every day and
41:02
Speaker 1: I think that is key to this game. I think
41:04
Speaker 1: Patriots get rematch of this one. Patriots eight and one,
41:07
Speaker 1: Eagles five and four. Tom Brady still thinks about that
41:10
Speaker 1: Super Bowl loss. You don't want Tom Brady think about
41:12
Speaker 1: that type of thing. Well, and you know that this
41:14
Speaker 1: is Carson Wentz shot shot at the Eagles. I'm sorry
41:19
Speaker 1: at the Patriots. He obviously didn't play in that Super
41:21
Speaker 1: Bowl game, and he's got a lot of people who
41:24
Speaker 1: think he's still a terrific young quarterback. And then there
41:26
Speaker 1: are a lot of people that question is he as
41:27
Speaker 1: good as nippoles Um. So this is a big game
41:30
Speaker 1: for him personally, time to prove doubt or is wrong.
41:34
Speaker 1: Doesn't it seem like the Patriots are the most forgotten
41:38
Speaker 1: eight and one? They really are. I was just thinking
41:40
Speaker 1: about this. Wait, you're playing again this week. I in
41:43
Speaker 1: my rankings this week and I have a number one,
41:46
Speaker 1: and people were writing in, Oh, the Ravens just beat them.
41:49
Speaker 1: But until they don't have the best record in the
41:53
Speaker 1: NFL and until they lose in the playoffs, I'll believe
41:55
Speaker 1: when I see it. And I don't think they're the
41:57
Speaker 1: greatest talent team. But don't you think when the Ravens
42:01
Speaker 1: and the Patriots play in the playoffs, if if they
42:03
Speaker 1: do that, somehow that Lamar Jackson runner all over them
42:07
Speaker 1: ain't gonna happen again. Yeah, there's no doubt. But so
42:10
Speaker 1: let's just put it this way. If you put the
42:12
Speaker 1: Patriots and brought the Niners in, and you played in
42:15
Speaker 1: a neutral environment, let's just say you played them in
42:17
Speaker 1: minnots Minnesota, right where weather's not a factor. Is there
42:20
Speaker 1: any doubt who wins Jimmy Garoppolo versus Tom Brady? Right,
42:23
Speaker 1: take the helmets off, and I would say the Niners win,
42:26
Speaker 1: But somehow that team would win. Yeah, I'd say the
42:29
Speaker 1: same thing with if you brought Seattle in Russell Wilson's tremendous,
42:35
Speaker 1: I'd still take Tom Brady in that game. Yeah, yeah,
42:39
Speaker 1: it is true that the forgotten. Yeah, I was looking.
42:41
Speaker 1: I was like, oh yeah they played. Oh wow, they're
42:43
Speaker 1: eating one. Oh yeah, forgot about that. They're good until
42:46
Speaker 1: they're not absolutely all right. And that is our show.
