• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It feels like Thursday is like next Sunday far away.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: You know, when you lose a game, not that we lost,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: but when the Jaguars lose and you have to come
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: in here and sort of coax your way through the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: week in the locker room, with the coaches, with the fans,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: with the people you talk to a public, it's like,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: just get to Thursday. Thursday. UM, show Day brought to

  Speaker 1: we've had her on before? She's excellent. We're looking forward

• 1:01
  Speaker 1: team in the South with three straight wins. Marcus Pollard
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: also joins us for who said It? And a Thursday
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: night preview. Um, do we know where did the poll
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: end up? Yesterday? You know it was, but it was
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: it was dominated anger had subsided, worry had taken over.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I think if we continue the poll today, what you
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: might see is you might see optimism starting to creep
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in there, because when it comes to people's team, that's
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: generally where they want to feel like on Sunday, we'll
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: be ready to go. Um, Yeah, we're worried about the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Jaguars yesterday and what was number two? We're still angry
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: and what was what was the the optimistic I'm excited
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: about Sunday. But today's a new day, right, so we'll
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: see where people are on this one. Um, good news
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. Jalen Ramsey, uh Malle Jackson off the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: injury report, I don't even call it bad news or not.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: But still no news on whether Leonard for Nett will practice.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: They dug It said last Friday that he anticipated that
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: yesterday was a day that Leonard would practice. He did
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: say there was still a chance that we could see
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: him now. Michael Silver, who was here from NFL Network,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: was on at one point during the day and he
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: was talking about next Sunday, next Sunday, next Sunday. I
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: know he talks to coaches and I know he's around.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: He dismissed the sweet Yeah he did. So we'll add
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: boy that that kind of kicks you a little bit
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in terms of well because he's such an important key.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean the Jaguars don't stand a good
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: chance on Sunday despite what you may or may not think.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Let's get into big things where we will talk about it. Okay,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Big thing one is determination. It was not much fun
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: in the locker room. We should have signment called Jaguars
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: f a Q. We asked a bunch of fun questions
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and there was no room for fun. Yesterday. It was
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: a tough practice. The player said, it was as tough
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: as a training camp practice, and Maro Own discussed the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: adversity that this team is going through it. Like I
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: said before, you you know you pull it up. I
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: like it because it's challenging. What better than hitting adversity
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and coming back from it seeing who people are. You know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: it happens all the time. It's happened my whole entire life.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: So for me, I like it. I don't want to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: be here, make no mistake about it. Okay, But the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: one thing you don't have to worry about, you never
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the one question you're not gonna get is Are you comfortable?
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: There's no way anyone in this building should be comfortable
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: right now. No, and I don't think well, look as
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: we watched the players come into the locker room yesterday
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: off the practice field, there was no comfort at all.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Mollie Jackson, Uh was almost dragging his feet right. Uh.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: He took his shirt off and he just kind of
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: stood there for a moment before dropping it leaning against
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the locker. It was hot. I think people know now.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I think it was hottest day on October the seventeenth
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: since one. I think so. Yeah, it was a very long,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: rigorous effort, and so comfort was not the issue. A
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: couple of things that struck me yesterday. First besides that, Uh,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Doug was terrific. Uh. You're interested to see how guys
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: are going to handle it. There are coaches that I
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: have been around who, when they are going through a
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: losing stretch like this, do not say I like it.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I I deal with the adversity. I embraced the challenge.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: They accept it because they have no other choice. Doug
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: is is unique. He's built for this. He never gets
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: too happy when it's good. He gets a little bit
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: tense when it doesn't go well, but I think he's
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: built for this. I don't want to call him crumpy,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: although he comes off as that to people who don't
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: who aren't around him, who don't know him. Um, there
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: are some people that just kind of revel in the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: misery that they do their best work when things are
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: absolutely at their worst. Well, that kind of seems like
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Doug Moron right, Like he can get down into the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: into the weeds on this thing, and that's where he
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: likes to be because he can be himself and he
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: can be I don't know whether you want to call
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: it tougher, sarcastic, you know, grind a little bit more
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: on the guys. I just think he feels like this
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: is a good spot for his personality. Yeah, it's a
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: huge opportunity for him to coach this team. I think
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the word I always use when I describe him as realistic.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: He's very realistic with the situations presented in front of him,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and he's been He's been great this week. Some of
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the best breast conference I've ever heard from him have
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: been this week. Realist is a good way to describe him.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: He's not a sunny eyed obt, but at the same time,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: he's not a pessim and he's not negative. He just
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: whatever is presented in front of him he deals with.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: He has the ability to see things for exactly what
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: they are. And then instead of thinking, oh, what is
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: me third left tackle? What am I doing without Leonard
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: for net he just kind of figures a way to
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: communicate that. So it was determination, at least to me,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the word was determination. I love the end where he
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: said I will get this right. Yeah, I mean, that's
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: where his mentality is. And by the way, one of
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the things that I really appreciate about him is his
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the effectiveness and the quality of his message to his players,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and and the way that you can tell that he's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: good at that is on Wednesday afternoon, his players are
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: saying the same thing that he is. And see we
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: we we hear from Doug a little before eleven, and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: they go on the practice field a little after that.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: We don't talk to the players until almost two o'clock
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: when they're off the practice field and in the locker room. Well,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: so it's not like they walk right out of the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: meeting and they're just robotic. And I'm going to remember
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: what Doug just said now that they absorbed it over
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: that time, they have time to think about it, to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: experience it on the practice field, and they walk in there.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I can remember the week of the Titans. Uh, nobody
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: talked about the fact that they had lost both games
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: last year the Titans, right, it was. The message was
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: as consistent as possible. It was this is a vision game.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: They all said it in their own way, but his
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: message was affected them. Forget last year, think about what
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: this may mean. And so yesterday it was all about determination.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: It was. It was about fixing the issue. Now, nobody
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: could tell you exactly what they were going to do,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: because that would be saying, well, I need to do
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: this right, But what they did say was we know
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: that we have to work harder. Well, clearly they worked
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: harder yesterday. By the way, that was an interesting question.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: It was brought up to Doug in the locker room
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: or sorry in his press conference. Do you think this
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: team was, as I like to say, had eaten the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: whole pie? Right? They eating the whole pizza? And he
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: said no, you got to ask the players that, but
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you could tell that was part of his message to him.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: As um, you were satisfied, you were content, you were
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: three and one. Right, we're talking about the first quarter.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: You were content. There was some of that going on. Yeah,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and that's why he said, addressed to the players, and
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: what did they say? What did they say? You were
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: in the locker room? What they say? They all had
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the same message about fixing things, so that they all
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: talked about humility. They all the guys that I talk
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to it. And I was on the defensive side, yes,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: except for Blake in his news conference, I was primarily
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: with defensive players, and they all talked about humility, right,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: understanding that you must come to work. You can talk
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: all you want on the field. You can talk all
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you want all week about exactly what you think, but
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: if you don't work with a humble spirit, you know,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: so I can get your best broadcast or no one
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: works the mic like me. Right, But if I don't
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: work at that when we get done here, right, if
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I don't have my show notes done, if I don't
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: have all my preparation done, what what good does it do? Exactly?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: So that's it. In order to be the best, you
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: have to work like the best. And they were all
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: on that message. I thought, I'm Doug was terrific. The
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: last two weeks, as this thing has been right, like,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: oh boy, what are we dealing with here? He has
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: been his very, very best. It didn't translate on the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: field on Sunday. I have a feeling that's going to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: this week. Now the matchup is different. We'll talk about that,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: but I have a feeling that his effort has not
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: gone unnoticed. Yeah, and it's going directly to the players.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: You've mentioned how Doug said we will get this right
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: in a confident manner. You heard Myles say that, you
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: heard Telvin say that, you heard Callias say that we
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: will get this right. Confident, not cocky. But since you
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: bring up, since you bring up Telvin before we move
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: on to big thing number two. His approach was the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: only one that was different. He refused to ben, He
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: refused to talk about being humble. He refused to talk
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: about we have to be better. He just said, I'm
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: straight they are too. You all can panic and push
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the button. We're fine. That did not resonate with me.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: And I like the way that Telvin speaks. I mean,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I enjoy his news conferences and I think for the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: most part he's pretty plugged in. You couldn't get him
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: to Ben. He was still figuratively now, he was still
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: beating his chest. Yesterday he was doing so in a
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: less demonstrative fashion. It wasn't this, but he was still
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: kind of standing there, defiant of the fact that some
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: more humility was required, some more. He's a guy who
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: works hard. He's a two or eighteen pound linebacker. He
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: has always had to do more. He has always had
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to work hard. But he refused to back off of
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: his stance. Whether that serves him well or not, I
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: guess we'll find out on that could be just him.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's we know he's one of the most
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: confident guys in that locker, no doubt. But but it's
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: worth pointing out we're not talking about We're not talking
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: about not being confident. We're not talking about taking your
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: confidence and shrinking it in any way, shape or form.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: What we're talking about is a more realistic approach, and
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: that is am I doing enough? Am I taking the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: confidence and combining it with the preparation, And a lot
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: of the players said, well, obviously we weren't putting as
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: much preparation as we were confidence out there, right. A
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: realistic approach is looking at your two losses especially if
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: you're on defense and forty point scored. That's taking a
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: realistic approaches accepting that. And I think that's what Doug
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: was talking about absolutely, all right, big thing too is
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: fundamental improvements, getting back to basics. So they're going all
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the way back to training camp, all the way back
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to O T S. Dug myr own discuss us is
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: getting back to the fundamentals. It's us. I mean, we've
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: got to do a better job. You know, there's a
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: part on errand, Yeah, that's part of errand. But whatever
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: we emphasize, that's what usually a player will take, you know,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: notice of, and we've got to get back and emphasizes
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the heck out of it, out of it whatever. Uh.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: You might have noticed by the way that the last
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the last two weeks Doug has been his language has
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: been salty, and he hasn't even backed off that they
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: put it in the transcripts. You know a lot of
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: times when when NFL teams transcribe coaches and their and
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: their comments for the media, they leave words like that
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: out No, no, and and and I don't think they should.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: This is a realistic Most newspapers aren't going to print that, right,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: most websites, websites a little different. Um, do we blieve
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: that out We didn't. Okay, we did because we have
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: a broad audience and we don't want kids to necessarily
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: be exposed to that. But these guys, Doug is is
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: if you take that away from him, it's not him.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: It's not him, And we're talking about realistic approach. That
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: is the real Doug. So thoughts on fundamental improvement you
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: can and he said it's on us, meaning the coaching staff.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Sure there's a player component, but it's on the coaching staff.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: You only have so much time on the practice field
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: every weekend. When you get into the season, you tend
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to think about game plan. You tend to think about
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: you know, matchups, personnel, how you're going to attack things.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: And you use every moment, at least every moment that
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: you possibly can to work on running the plays right,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: getting the reps in so that you can work it
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: over and over and over. And what Doug was saying
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: there was they didn't do enough of the fundamental work.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: They they need to trust that the number of reps
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: that they get in will be enough, because you can't
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: get away from the fundamentals of your footwork of your hands, blocking, tackling,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: all of those things. You've got to do more of
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the fundamentals. And for the players, that's tedious. I mean
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: that you go all the way through camp with the
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: fundamental stuff now you right, the players want to get
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: out there and they want to focus on what they
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: have to do on Sunday. Right. The fundamental side of
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: it is, it's not the fun part of practice. You know,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: like to coach youth football with my kids, and when
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: we do the drills for half the practice, I'm bored.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I want to go scrimmage, right. I want to coach
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the guys as they're on the field and working through
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: their assignments. But you know, it's important exactly as hit
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the sled, hit the dummy. I hated too, but the
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: work has to get done. And so I said to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: a couple of guys, do you have to practice this
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: way the rest of the season. Two or three guys that, well,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: we'll find out, right, But two or three other guys said, yeah,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: we probably have to practice this way the whole season.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I've said from the beginning, this is not this is
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: not a front running team. This is not a team
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: that at it. It's at its best, like the Patriots
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: or the Steelers in front because they've been there. This
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: is a team that built its way last year to
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: where they are, but always having that chip on the shoulder.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: It's just it's the assembly of those personalities in the room.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: They're not front runners. Don't don't act like front runners.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Act like you are number thirty two in someone's power
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: rankings at all time. Act like everyone says they stink.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: That's what brings out the best in players like j
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Len Unique and Miles you know, three cornerstones and televin
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: to four cornerstones on your defense. Those guys need to
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: feel disrespected for it to motivate them. They play angry
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: and the way if you watch any of the national
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: media this week, they definitely have that chip back, I mean,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: and then they deserve it because of the past two
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: weeks and the results. And you mentioned tedious, how the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: fundamentals were tedious two players. I got the vibe in
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the locker room yesterday that they weren't really exactly happy
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: with the coaches, that they were annoyed that they were
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: going through the fundamentals. But it's important work. Well I
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: can remember, and this is just absolutely the truth. I
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: can remember once a player being fined for standing outside
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the locker room and having a conversation with the reporter.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: It was not even it wasn't even an interview. But
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: TC walked by, there's back in the early days, walked
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: by and find Ben Coleman for talking. And the fact
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: of the matter is is when when when Tom was Preston,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: don't find him. He'll never talk to me again. He
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: said football is not a game of comfort. I want
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: these guys on edge. That's true. And you know that
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Tom over there when he's letting his experiences reminding not
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: that Doug wants his guys comfortable. He likes him on edge.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: He's saying, sharpen it up, and that's what they have
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: to do. And that's what they're doing. And by the way,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: these guys are professionals. And if the guy next to
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: him needs to be sharpened up, you know the guy
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: who's standing next to that guy needs to be sharpened up.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: It's the way you play. He find him for having
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: a conversation in the hallway. Five brand Hey, Tom wants
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: find a guy A Marlos Leroy, who was a defensive
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: tackle from Georgia, made a bet with Fred Taylor about
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the Florida Georgia game and so a Marlos that was
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: back when the Bulldogs had no chance of winning. A
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Marlos had to hair and orange suit with a blue
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: shirt and tie. Now it was pretty sharp. I wouldn't
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: have wanted, but it was. It was. It was a
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: custom made suit, probably costs red bucks, but a Marlowe
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: swore and he got fine for it. The back he
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: had fine. He got fine for it because it was
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: a I guess he thought he looked like a clown,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: which he probably did. Well. Yeah, all that orange, Yeah, yeah,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: you might look like Barnum and Bailey. Who knows that
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: was a big man wearing a big, big suit. Anyway,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is is that the Jaguars
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: fundamentally have to stay with that edge, and that means
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: bare rolls, monkey crawls, and they don't do that stuff
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: at the NFL. But you get my point. They have
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: to do the things that the players at any level
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily like to do. How about you know what
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen this year? Updowns? Yeah, camp, we saw
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: updowns last year. Two. I haven't seen up downs. I
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: wonder if they're doing nothing get back in the gassers sprints,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Ye ye up, downs and gassers. I don't want to
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: be there. Don't don't tell them that. I said that.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: All right, big thing three is help might be on
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the way. We heard that Leonard for Net was not
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: practicing yesterday. He was working off to the side along
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: with t. J. Yelden, and Doug said, you know it
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: might happen to day Blake on the importance of for
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Net getting back on the field. Um, any time you
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: get you know, whether it's a Leonard or anybody of
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: of you know, kind of his stature and as good
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: of a football player as he is, is going to
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: improve your team when he's dressed out in playing. You know,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that, um. And we got to
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: continue to find ways to win and put up uh
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: points in yards with him not out there, you know,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: because we don't know what he's coming back, but when
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: he's when he's back, um, I mean no doubt mis better.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Obviously you want Leonard for that. He was the fourth
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: overall pick in the draft for a reason. And we
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: talked yesterday with John about not putting all of it
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: like all of a sudden, Leonard comes back and you're
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: scoring twenty points again, you can't put that on. But
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: you saw two weeks ago Kareem Hunt, and you saw
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: last week Ezekiel Elliott and and what it means to
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: have that feature back. No disrespect intended to t J Yelden,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: but he's not a feature back. Plus he's not a
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: healthy feature back. I mean he's dealing with the ankle
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: he's been dealing with since the Titans game. Right when
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: he took the shot on the sideline. You don't want
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: to bang him like that. He's the complimentary piece, the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: guy who is an excellent receiver who, after Leonard has
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: been banging the defense, here comes t J now to
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: kind of find his way through it and make them
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: chase sideline to sideline. Really, that's what this offense is missing.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: They had that one to three with the power, with
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the elusiveness and then just the outright speed of Corey
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Grant and we haven't been able to see that. So yes,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: help on the way. Maybe maybe four nets on the
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: practice field working today. Maybe he's not, but he's not
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the only guy they need back. D J. Hayden, who
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: took Aaron Colvin spot. I can't help but think that
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: if he had been on the field in Dallas now,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: maybe he'd be making the same mistakes that everyone else was.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: But he's a better player than Tyler Patmin and they
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: exposed him and they went to him, they did, and
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Ler Patman was playing as good as he could. But
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: d J. Hayden was playing better than that when he
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: was on the field before he had that injury. That
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: nickelback in this defense is a critical part. But everyone's
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: overlooked that you need to have him back. He's been
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: running too. Perhaps he practices today to get him back,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: to have Jalen Ramsey who's been here, and Malie Jackson
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: who's been here. But they were on the practice we're
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: injury report and you're thinking they're going to be limited,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: because look, few are the players in this league who
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: can go all week without practicing and show up on
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Sunday and be ready to go. Right, if we're talking
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: about an entire team needing more fundamental work, how could
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: you possibly say, well, he can, he can go all week,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: he doesn't need a practice, He'll be ready on Sunday.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: There's no chance. That rarely works with the best of players.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: You can't possibly expect that. So to have Jalen and Malik,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: two of your best players to your best defensive players,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: two of the stalwarts on the practice physical yesterday. That
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: was help on the way. If you can possibly get
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: these guys back on the practice field today, Brandon Linder
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: we think will practice. Um, Andrew Norwell should practice. If
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: you can get d J. Hayden out on the practice field,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: could be a huge left I would be a huge
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: lift for this football team. But it is true after
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the game on Sunday when we saw Jalen hurt and
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: we thought, you know that he might not practice all week,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: and we were on shore, I thought that was a possibility, right,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: So for him to practice Wednesday says a lot Um.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I'm honestly surprised because I watched him walk off the
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: field in the fourth quarter and he was dragging his leg.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: His name was not not at all. Um. We were
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: questioning if he'll even playing the game this week. Yeah
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: point yeah. Well, now he's one of the few guys
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I think you could because he's so gifted, and you know,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: he's a prep guy. He would do everything but practice
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: to be ready to play, and this week would be
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: a DeAndre Hopkins and so he knows him so well,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: but um, I was convinced that he was not going
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: to practice this week. By the way he uh, kudos
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: to him. Besides being a tremendous player and a huge
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: person ality, he is tough. This is not the first
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: time he has played, so he was sore last year.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: The knee is an issue for him and he's going
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: to gut it out. Yeah, that's a great example. And
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: that is is that in this game, you will play hurt.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: You will not play injured hopefully, right, but you will
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: play hurt. Won't be comfortable. No one is comfortable after
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the first couple of games of the season. Hell, some
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: people are comfortable after training camp, right. Guys learned to
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: play with injury. Jalen does it at a level that
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: is I hate the term he's a warrior, right, because
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: it's is a guy. Yeah, you cannot take that away
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: from him. And he's not the only one. But he's
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: a great example, great player who plays even when he's
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: not at his best, and I think for the benefit
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: of the team. You know a lot of his personalityople say, oh,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: he's all about him. He's only worried about Jalen. For
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: him to play at this level and hurt. He's a
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: team guy, but he cares about the effort of this team.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: That is absolutely not true. Okay, big things out of
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the way. When we come back, we go to Houston
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: to get an update on the hottest team in the
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: South and a defense that's starting to look down right
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: scary for the deep fantastic. We're back after this and

  Speaker 1: insured by m c U. A Welcome back to Jack's
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Drive Time presented by Fields Automotive Group. Today. We were
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: going to hear from DPCD later on the show to
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: give us some insight on the Houston Texans. For now,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: we have the best of the locker room. It wasn't good.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: It wasn't exactly a fun locker room, but it was telling. Okay,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: so you've been traveling with us. Now the last two games.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: And so you've been in the locker room after the
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: game with bad losses. It isn't any fun. You know,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: you don't want to go in there, no, because you
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: know you're going to go in there and ask questions
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: they do not want to answer. Now, there are good guys,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: guy Miles Calais, Malik is a champion. Uh, even Jalen
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: who does not like to talk after losses, does it right.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: There are some guys that just I mean, they won't
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: even right. They just can't compose themselves, and you know
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: it's not worth your effort, right, just completely not worth
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: your effort. Um. Yesterday though, you know, Doug said that
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: he likes determination termination, he likes the challenge the university,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: likes to see how his team is and how they're
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: going to respond. I kind of felt that way going
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: into the locker room. All right, let's see how they are,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: and so now we're going to see how they were. Yeah,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I was impressed. Malik had two separate media sessions. So normally,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: y'all you crowd around the player that you know is
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: going to talk. Great, So he had that and then
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes later and other slew reporters came and
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: he talked again, and normally that doesn't happen. Normally they
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: talk once like all right, already talked, he bring it on,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: so let's go to it, okay. Blake Bortles and his
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: press press conference discussed the fact of not starting fast
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: and not starting at all for this offense. And you'd
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: love to be able to say, you know, if you know,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: ever forbid you don't go score on the first drive,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: no big deal. You're gonna still find a way to
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: go score five points. But it's kind of correlated to
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: whereas if we haven't started fast, we haven't started it
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: at all, um, And you know, we definitely got to
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: fix that and make sure that that's not who we
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: are as an offense. If we get off to a
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: slow start, to turn it around. But our goal is
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: to definitely always start fast and go score on that
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: first possession. You know, he gets so much grief, you know,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: grief is in the right word, crap from the national
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: media who pile on when he has a bad day.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: And he he he had a horrible day in Kansas
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: City last week. Not so bad um as a person,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: as a guy who will stand up in front of
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the media on Wednesday. He's terrific. I mean, talking with
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Mike do Rocko from ESPN yesterday, I mean, we love
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: dealing with the guy because he will stand there and
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: say it. He'll take it on himself. I have to
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: do this, we have to do He hides behind nothing.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: It is refreshing. Guys like Mike Silver come in from
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: NFL Network and they leave with a greater appreciation because
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: not every quarterbacks that way. He makes no excuses for himself,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: for this team, for Jacksonville as a whole. It is.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: It is on him. When he knows it's on him,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: He's right. They have got to find a way to
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: get down the field and get points on the board
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: early and not I mean, no kidding, right, I mean
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: they've been shut out the first half of the last
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: two games. That is such a rarity in the NFL.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: But they've got to give the defense something that they
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: can hang on, right. You can't ask the defense to
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: go out there and get nothing series after series. I
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: know Miles after his touchdown in New York said we
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: don't need the offense to score. Will score, right. He
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: didn't mean that, by the way, as a slap. He
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: just meant will, well, we can do everything, right, we
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: got this. If if they can only get three, we'll
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: get seven. We can figure it out. Well, okay, that's
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: happened once this year, right the last two weeks. The
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: defense hasn't found their way into the end zone. So
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: you've got to give them something. And Blake knows it right,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: some teams, Ashlyn would there'd be a division, would be
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the offense and the defense, pointing fingers if one side.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: That hasn't happened in this locker room. And I think
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: it's because I know it's because these guys talk that
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: they're not divided. Their lockers are spread out there, not
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: you know, cornerbacks over here and wide receivers over here.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: They're all mixed up and mixed in. And that's a
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: very shrewd way to do things because they're constantly talking.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: But as much as we like in respect Bortals for
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: the way that he can communicates with us, that's this
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: and he it's completely different with the players. Obviously, he
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: communicates the same way on a deeper level, even better
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: with his teammates. They're respected for absolutely, at least patients
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: there on the table, there's a series going on with
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey uninterrupted on YouTube, and he was talking about
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: yesterday watched the episode and it was talking about how
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: normally on teams, the defense hangs out and the offense
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: hangs out. And they were showing a clip of Leonard
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: for Nett and t J yeld and over at Ramsey's house,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: and he was saying, you know, it's so rare that
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: we have these guys on offense that have the same
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: personality as the defense and we all meshed together. He
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: was saying, how you don't see that in every NFL team? No, no,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: you don't. I mean you have friends all over the place.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: But there have been some moments where I thought that
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: the Titans game in particular, you know, you hold a
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: team to three field goals, you think, okay, we should win.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Where I I thought you were confident. That's an edgy group, right,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, there there you if anyone's gonna do it,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: you would think a Unique or a Telvin or Jalen
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: would just lose their mind. And you know, when you
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: play so well on that note, easily could have happened.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: By now pointing fingers and everybody's watching this and listening
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: knows that happens all the time in every sport where
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: you get guys who want to point fingers. It hasn't
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: happened because of the personalities, but it has not because
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: you have Blake that that team respects Now, I can't
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: promise that wouldn't happen six eight more games down the road,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: right do you have no idea? But I don't expect
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: to see the offense not make some progress. All right.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: We talked about the tough practice, the training camp like
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: practice that Malik Jackson the team went through. He had
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: some comments about Dunrone. Things roll downhill, you know, and
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: right now we lost two in a Rosale. Coach doesn't happy,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: so it's gonna trickle down all the way to us,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna go out there and have to deal
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: with it and change and make him happy again. And
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: only way that's gonna make him happy is winning. But
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: when you lose twice, something needs to change. And then
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: something changed, all right. Um, Malik walked in yesterday dragging right,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: he was tired, took his shirt off, stood there and
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: didn't turn around. He told me later, he goes, yeah,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: I knew you were standing there, you know, And he
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: turned around and he was great, but for that he
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: was so exhausted mentally. He need he did, and he
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: took it, and it's great. He is a stand up
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: guy because he will always tell you what he thinks,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: even if it makes him look like he needed the work. Right.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I don't say bad, but maybe it looked like he
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: was one of the ones that needed to be corrected.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: And he stood there and said, we have to make
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: the coach happy. He didn't say I have to make
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Jalen happy, or I need to make Jeremy Pornell happy.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: We need to make each other happy. He said, we
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: need to make the coach happy, which tells me they
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: came off the practice field and the coach wasn't happy,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: not with their effort, but still not happy with where
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: they are and what they have to do. He understands
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: that they're going back to practice field today. It's gonna
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: be a little bit cooler. They're gonna grind just like
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: they did yesterday. There's none of this inside right. Remember
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, the Jaguars would go out there,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: they do the special team work, they'd stretched, they do
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: some of the individuals, and then they would go inside.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Doug took them out of the heat. I don't expect
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: that they happen this and I don't know. Yeah, I
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: don't know if we see that the rest of the season.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: To be honest, you will not. He talked about the
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: comfort level and at times we were thinking, you know, oh,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: that's you know, good for them. They're practicing inside that
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: comfort level. I think is gone. Just a side note
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: on Malik, you know there are some guys who they
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: want to shower before they talk. They want to put
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: a shirt on before they talk. If I had the
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: chest and the traps that Malik does, I wouldn't put
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: a shirt on either. I appreciate the fact that I
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: can go to him whether he's dressed. He doesn't. He's like,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: come on, let's go right. He is the best, terrific.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: There's a picture of him in his locker holding a
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: little kitten, and I was like, Malik, like, why do
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: you have that picture? And you're locking He goes, it's
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: the Humane Society. I'm a good guy. What do you mean.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I apologize for asking. He is.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: He's a good guy. It's funny, all right. The last
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: one you mentioned Telvin Smith and him saying no, this
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: is all okay, we're going to get this right here here. First,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: when you believe in something, you stay staying fast toward
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: you don't you don't go crazy. When when when something
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: going crazy? Don't you know, jumping ship or starting to
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: think is you know? So again, I just believe in
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: my guys. I believe in my teammates. I believe in
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: the coaches. So I know what we do our mind
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: set around here, we'll get it right. You didn't, and
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier you didn't. There's no hint of that
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: was the humility that because that doesn't that doesn't portray it.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: But there's no hint of him panic. There's no panic.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: There's no panic. There's no hint of him backing down
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: from his dance. And you know, it's funny. All the
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: guys in that locker room seemed to kind of to
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: look at Calias, right, Calais kind of sets the tune.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: You know who Klaius looks at. Yeah, I mean Calias
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: finds some inspiration from number fifty and so from that perspective,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I kind of respect the way that Telvin approached it.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: It's just the rest of the locker room was eight
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: degrees They were embracing the humility of the moment where
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Telvin says, what are you guys talking about? We're fine,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: the team is fine. We'll get back to it. Don't
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: worry at the moment that Telvin was talking and thinking,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: are you delusional? I mean, is this is a problem.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: And then the more that you know I talked to
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: players in the locker room, the more I thought, no, no,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: this is okay. Telvin is the heartbeat. He's the guy
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: who has the things to say before they go on
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: the field. He needs to keep this one up the
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: rest of the team. And not that he didn't work
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: like it, by the way. I mean, he's a worker,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: so he worked like his teammates, but his attitude didn't.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: He didn't change it. He may have believed what Doug said,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: but he wasn't going to change his approach strategically. He
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: was going to say who he was right. And I
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: think that's a great thing. I mean, it's great that
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: everyone is embracing Doug's message, but you also don't want
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: them to lose the personality of this defense. It would
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: be great if it plays out the way that the
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Jaguars wanted to play out right we'll wait and find out.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: All right, So that's the best to the locker room
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: and bring it to you every Thursday, because Wednesday is
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: the big day in the locker room where you kind
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: of get a feel for where this team is at
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: and before we move on to NFL headlines. Um I
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: hesitate to say it just because you know, when we guy,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I can think they are going to absolutely not play well,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: and they go out and they crush it. And other
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: times you think, oh, you know, they are in a
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: great place, this is going to be a huge win,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: and they don't. Um. I sensed a team that had
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: grabbed ahold of the ring this week, the brass ring.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: They know what it is that they want, and they're
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: all there's no shock and awe anymore. There's no what
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: do we do, there's no panic. It's okay, we're following
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: that guy, and that guy is Doug Maron. They are
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: all back in step with him. My feeling in the
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: locker room, I agree, and I think they know how
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: important this week is and what's at stake. This is
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: a big week and they know it. Okay, onto NFL
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: headlines before our next break, than Marcus Pollard will join
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: us for who said it? Um, do you see this?
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: There's some concern in Los Angeles, where the Chargers are
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: the second best team but therefore two. Right they're getting
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: ready to hand to London this weekend playing really well.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Right now. They're good on defense without their best player,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: and Philip Rivers and Melvin Gordon on offense. There's a
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: reason now they're playing a thirty thousand seat stadium that
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: weekly is filled with the opponents fans. Charges have kind
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: of just been in that place. Um. However, at this
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: moment in time, the problem is is that people aren't
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: buying tickets. They're selling personal seat license and tickets. It's
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: not going well. The league has some concern, even though
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: they're trying to be patient. They have reduced their goals.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Right their goal is four hundred million dollars in sales.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Now they're down to a hundred and fifty million dollars.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: The prices in the state and they're gonna sound like
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville prices fifty dollars for a game in that mega
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: stadium that they're building out there. Trust me, the rams
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: are going to cost more than fifty to a ticket.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Trouble in Paradise with the Chargers right now, onto the
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: next one. Um, how about Bill Belichick, the master of
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: saying very little, almost monotone. Um. Boston writers have become
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: experts at taking nothing and turning it into is something.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: But yesterday he had something to say. He was asked
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: to compare Khalil Mack, who has been a sensation since
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: being traded to the Bears. Five sacks, four forced fumbles,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: a couple of tip balls. Um, to compare to Lawrence Taylor.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: You know, he said, whoa, guys, it's Lawrence Taylor. No
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: disrespect to a lot of great pass rushers, but there's
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor and everyone else, and the headline there is
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Belichick said something definitive, highlighted, underscored. You wondered when he
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: would say that. He doesn't say that about his own players,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: and yet talking about Lawrence Taylor, who he coached in
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: New York back in the eighties, he stepped up more. Taylor,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: by the way, nine time All Pro, nine time nine
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: time All Pro in thirteen seasons, add three sex the
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: greatest defensive player perhaps of all time, and Bill Belichick
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: wanted everyone to know it. Yesterday, final headline for you,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: This one comes from Buffalo that's their quarterback, Josh Allen,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: but not this week. This week he has the elbow injury,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: so you think they'd go to the Bartram sensation, right
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: and peterman problem is seven starts, ten interceptions last week
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: cost him a chance to beat the Texans. So they're
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: doing something and we kind of talked about this yesterday
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: with John. You can go find Eric Flowers of the world,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: a left tackle and bring him into play. Rarely do
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: you grab a quarterback midseason and he has to come
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: in and play. But that's exactly what they're doing. Just
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: last week they signed Derek Anderson, who Sean McDermott and
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Bill Bean, the coach and the general manager knew from
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: their days in Carolina. They're bringing him in and they
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: are putting him in the starting line up. Thirteen year
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: veteran will start in place of Josh Allen because they
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: think he gives him the best chance to win on
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Sunday in Indianapolis. Those are your NFL headlines and we
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: move on. You know where we're going, Sure, deepsa do
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Houston Texans Dot Com radio analyst, TV analysts, Deepe, how
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: are you? I'm good, guys. How's it going today in Johnsonville.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: We are good, a little hot, but it's supposed to
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: be cooler this weekend, so that's good news for all.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: She's in Houston. It's hot in Houston. Yeah, he We're
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: all wearing boots and coats right now. It's fantastic. So
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: what is it seventy there? It's gonna be high seventies.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: But there was one day where it was in the fifties.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: It was really nice. I will say this. You know,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: it may be in the fifties or the sixties or
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: the seventies there, but your defense is absolutely on fire.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Who's the spark of that? Is it Jadeveon Clowney, who's
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: been making play after play after play? Or is it
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: the heartbeat of that team? Watt? You know, it's funny
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: that you asked that. I think lately it's it's sort
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: of spread out. J. J. Watt certainly is making a
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: lot of plays. He looks like, what do you look like?
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Before his back to back season ending injuries, I mean
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: he looks he looks pretty darn good. Jadeveon Clowney, you know,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: he's made some big plays. He gets a lot of
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: double teams, he gets held a lot, so sometimes his
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: staffs don't really reflect how good of a game he's having,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: although he's certainly shine in several games this year, including
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: the one up in Indianapolis a few weeks ago. But
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: then you've got Kareem Jackson, who I think has really
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: become a standout this year. You guys have seen plenty
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: of Kareem over the years longest tenured texting on defense. Uh.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: He's been moved to safety this year and he's had
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: a couple of big interceptions and back to back games.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: He had the one against Dallas a few weeks ago,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: UM where the Texans won in overtime. He had the
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: one last week at the end of the game Jonathan
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Joseph had the pick sick up to uh, you know,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: which really prevented a third straight overtime for the Texans.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: You know. And then you've got Tyrone Matthew, You've got
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Bernardrick McKinney. You've got all these other guys that people
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: don't really talk about because you know, there's just so
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: many stars and it seems like everyone's coming together right
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: now sort of at the right time. I think that
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: early on in the season, you know, either the front
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: seven was playing well or the back end was playing well.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: They weren't both playing well simultaneously. And in the last
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: few weeks over this three game winning streak, that's the
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: one consistent thing is that they've been able to stop
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: the run. The communication has been better, and everybody's really
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: stepped up to make plays. But uh, you know, I
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: don't know, I would I would have to say J. J.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Watt and Cream Jackson are are really really hot right now.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson a mobile quarterback. How have you seen him
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: play this entire season so far? You know, it's been
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: a rough go for DeShawn this year. We've got a
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: very young old line and so they've done a lot
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: of you know, we've had some injuries heading into the season.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: After Week one, right tackle Sean Charle Henderson, he was
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: only out there about a quarter, gets put on I R.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: And so then all of a sudden, you know, what
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: was a very young old line, everyone sort of got
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: shuffled around. You had empty rank and who are you know,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Martinez Rankin, who uh you know was a rookie. You
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: moved him to the left side, and then Julian Davenport,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: who had taken snaps that left all offseason, you move
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: him suddenly to the right and Deshaun Watson. The result
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: was he got hit a lot, He got sacked a lot,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: and he got really banged up. And every time he
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: took a hit, you just wondered, like, is this going
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: to be the one that just knocked him out for good?
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: So he's really taken a beating. Um. The old line
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: has looked better in some games some days. You know
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: early on that the run blocking was a lot better
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: than the past blocking. But lately it's just been rough
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: all around. And I think it's a combination of Deshaun
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: being heard and he's a little bit he's holding onto
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: the ball a little bit too long. Sometimes those sacks
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: are on him. You know, he's still young, he's still
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: making mistakes. He wants to make a play for the team.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: You know, he's the type of guy that the play
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: is never dead when the balls in his hands. But
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: sometimes he's just got to learn to let it go
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: so that he doesn't take the big hit. Because even
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: if he doesn't get back, even if he's running outside
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: the pocket, sometimes he takes a big hit anyway. So
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: it's been tough for him. He's put up some three
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: yard games. He last week was was probably uh statistically
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: his his worst game, but he was also he was
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: dealing with a ribs injury and he was really questionable
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: heading into that game. But you know, the defense sort
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: of stepped up, special team stepped up. They had a
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: muff punt and a fumbled the punt that they you know,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: both recovered and scored ten points off of. So everyone
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: else sort of stepped up around the offense that was
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: struggling a little bit last week. But it's been hard
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: for de Shaun. He still looks like Deshaun Watson. He
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: still threw a really nice touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: last week. But you know, I think he needs to
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: get healthy. I think he needs to to kind of
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: go through these growing pains, and the old line really
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: needs to come together for him as well. It looks
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: last week deep and and it's just an observation like
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: he was trying to stay in the pocket more now,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: even with the line being young and the injuries there.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Do they want him to stay put or do they
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: want him out on the run. You know, they want
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: him to be out of the pocket. They wanted to
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: run around a little bit more. I think Early on,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: they were very conservative with him because he was coming
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: off the a c L injury, and then they found
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: that it doesn't work with this old line. It's almost
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: he makes the old line better when he's mobile and
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: he's running, and that's what makes them so hard to defend.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: The r p O, the run pass option. I mean,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: that's what Deshaun Watson is known for. And so they
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: started to do a little bit more of that. But
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: this last week was a little bit different. Even Deshaun
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: yesterday he told us that he was he was hurt
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: in that game, but he was able to play, and
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: and the coaches really wanted to be a little bit
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: more conservative, not run outside the pocket as much, so
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: they were trying to protect him. He still got sacked
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: seven times. So I don't know moving forward if that's
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: going to be the answer for him. Uh. He certainly
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: is a full go in practice this week, so they
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: say he's feeling better this week than he was last week.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: But you know, until he gets a bye week or
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: it gets a little bit extra us, I think that's
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: gonna be really hard to sort of get him to
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: recover fully. The Jaguars coming off two weeks two games
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: where they definitely have struggled while the Houston Texans are
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: hot coming in here in Jacksonville. What has been the
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: memo of this game from the Texans side. Oh, No,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: one is taking the Jaguars for granted. I mean, I
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: don't know what. I'm sure I can imagine what they're
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: staying around the country about the Jaguars after losing two straight.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: But if anyone knows how tough that front seven, how
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: tough that secondary is, it's it's this Texans team, because
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: you know, they've had some really tough battles back and forth,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: and you know they're gonna be dealing with a very
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: angry Jaguars team that's had some tough losses in the
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: last two weeks against Kansas City in Dallas. And trust me,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: everybody in Houston was watching that Dallas Jacksonville game in
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: total shock and awe. Uh you know what that defense
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: was not able to do against the Cowboys often. So
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be really angry Jaguars team. I
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: know that they have to. They want to stay discipline
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: and stopping the run. This Texans team has based two
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: really good running backs, and back to back weeks with
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Sean McCoy and is Equel Elliott. They held him vote
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: to under a hundred yards. And if Leonard four Nette
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: comes back that's certainly going to be the memo for
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: them as well this week, or whoever is there at
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: running back for the Jaguars. And then as far as
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: that that front, keeping DeShawn Watson protected and getting the
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: receiver's open. Everyone knows it's a big task at hand,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: and everyone knows what the stake with the a f
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: C south of this Freeway tie going down. So this
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: is a big game for the Texans. I know it's
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: a big game for the Jags as well, but if
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: they could come out somehow and pull out a win
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: this week, I think it would be momentum shifting for
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: this team that year, and and and the Jaguars can
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: say the same thing, and I think the Titans are
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: saying the same thing as they go face your Chargers
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: in London. We all knew it was going to be
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: a closer division than it was a year ago, and
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: it's starting to play out, so momentum in first place
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: on the line. DP. Thanks for your time. Thanks guys,

• 46:54
  Speaker 1: I love my theme so we don't have It's funny.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: My mom just texted me there's a music festival in
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: April and for audio called Tortuga. Kenny chuse you the
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: headliner from Rose Sullivan herself. I think what she's hangling
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: for his backstage pass passes. That's that's actually subtle little way.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't so so because I didn't caret it.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Only you could explain it to him. And that's how
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: I'm the hammer, and I'm subtle as a sledgehammer. Thursday
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Night football not a barn burner. You have the Broncos
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: who have lost four in a row going against the
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: one in four Arizona Cardinals. But there are some interesting storylines.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: The first is John Elway this week laid it down
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: for his team and tighten the screws. However, you know
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: whatever football coach speak you want to use um, But
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: he went on and signed case Keenum and and throw
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: money at a quarterback to go with his receivers, to
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: go with a defense that he thought would be better,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: and they've lost four in a row. So my question
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: to you is, if you're in the locker room and
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: the general manager happens to be a legend um is
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: telling the public, Hey, it's on my guys, how do
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: you react to that? That that's a tough one. Uh.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: To me, it's you can look at it two ways.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: You can look at this John l Way just kind
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: of threw the team out of the bus, or you
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: can lose use it as a rallying cry. It depends
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: on the locker room. Um, some people can look at
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: it is very negative. I would look at it as
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: very negative because I would think, you know, let's circle
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: the wagon. Let's don't start pointing fingers. You're in the wagon. Yeah,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: that's right, it's you put it together. I mean you
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: actually the engine and with a caboose, you're pulling us
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: in the direction we need to go. And so when
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: our leader makes a statement like that to me, I'll
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: be a little bit up tight, a little bit offended.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, I wouldn't need personally, I
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: wouldn't need that kind of motivation to get me going. Right. Well,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: it's entering. Von Miller stepped up and said, we're gonna
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: kick their body. He didn't just more of the of
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: the Dug Marone vernacular, Right, I'll just kick their ass. Yeah, yeah,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: you can't sit on the radio. I just did. Um,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: this isn't the radio, it's the internet. That's the wild
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: blush the other shot. Yeah, right by the way, they
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: can tune in here, Doug Moron say much worse. UM, which,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: by the way, is an interesting dynamic. I'm kind of
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: enjoying that. The other side of the coin, Arizona one
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: in five, they've had the rookie quarterback in the lineup.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Questions about the offense. Uh. The new offensive coordinator, Mike McCoy,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: who was in Denver was the head coach for a
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: while in San Diego, has got a pretty good reputation.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: The question to Steve Wilkes, the head coach, was is
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: his job on the line? Remarkable answer, He goes, my
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: jobs on the line. You have a coach who's coached
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: less than half a season with this team and he says,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: my job is on the line. I thought that was
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: a very revealing comment. The approach that Steve Wilkes has, Yeah,
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: I'd agree to me. It's different approach than John Elway took.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: To me. Coach making that statement sounds like we're in
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: it together. I'm not gonna throw my offensive coordinator on
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: a bus and say this guy should be getting the
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: offense playing better. We got a young quarterback that can
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: make plays. It's on him. No, it's on all of us.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: And I think once you start to think that you're irreplaceable,
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: that's when you get replaced. So I think if you
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: always keep that age. It was in good, good tide,
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: not necessary early a game that's gonna draw a lot
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: of attention State Farm Stadium between those two teams. However,
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: I'm going to pay attention to it, just because who
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: responds better to the comments that were made to be
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: interesting scene she rallied, Yeah, I'll be interesting, all right?
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Are are you ready to take the reins? Oh? Yeah,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: I recalled that there was a tie last week. Is
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: that correct? Yes? Which one? Do you want? The blue ring?
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Because I'm I'm money today, which means I'm in trouble.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: He's coming confident. I'm not all right? Who said it?
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: Where we show a tweet from the Jaguar and they
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: have to say who said it? Tough lost yesterday, but
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: love all my teammates. We're gonna work until we get
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: this right. Hashtag grind mode, hashtag dovall, hashtag focused. If
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: you can't tell, this is tweeted out on Monday after
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: I saw this one too, this is it? He wrote
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: it down. No, I didn't see it. It just sounds
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: like one of the guys that that. I think The
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: Jaguars retweeted it, so I got got a lot of views. Dude,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: Marcus confidence. We have this song yesterday during one of
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: our board games, and it's six six in your head
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: all the time. Once you hear it, it's done. Dave
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: Decan is like, why are you singing that? Okay, I
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: gotta go for you first, first, last time. I can't change. Okay,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: I'll go first. No, you were so confident and I
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: had no confidence, and I went with Gibson. Really, you
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: guys both want another guess? Yes, okay, go for it?
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Is it a defensive player? I could see why you
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: would guess that. MP. That would be a very talbent
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: thing to say. Guy on Defense tweeted it out on
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Monday tweet. Jaguars retweeted him kind of laid the groundwork
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: of this week. Oh we're gonna work until we get
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: this right. Yeah, let's go with this guy. Let me
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: see him turning around. No, no, no, no, don't we
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: got another. We gotta get it right, We gotta try again. No,
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: we're just gonna give up just right, all right, it's
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: a tie. You both were wrong. I wouldn't the love
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: thing I that threw me off. I would the love
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: threw you off? Yeah, okay, I didn't think it was.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: I would never have guessed it. Yeah, that was a good. Yeah,
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: I can see I'm saying it though. All right, next one,
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: some language here, y'all crazy. If y'all think the sun
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: wants shine again when it rains, keep sleeping on US
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: radio tweet on Twitter tweeted it out Sunday night. Not
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: the best grammar known for his personality, that's for sure.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: But he's confident. I am not too. You're confidently this one?
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: All right? Let's see it? No, MP, No, gosh, you
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: guys did not bring your a game to day. That's
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: supposed to be money today from I'm cutting grass. Let's
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: see it, EMP, what do you got? Go for it? Winner?
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: I went outside the nine dots, right, I went way out.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: He isn't playing right now, but I went with it.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Are you surprised at all that he tweeted that he's not? Really?
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: He's not Mr Grahamer either, So that was kind of
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: my clue. Alright, MP, maybe done, tell you Fowler, but close,
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: I'm close. I just one more question and I can
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: get to win. All I'm thinking about just like I
