• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Time Friday morning. As always, we started the show with
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: coffee with the Coach. With head coach dug my own
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: coffee cup filled to the brim. I just saw it happen.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not lying. How many cups of coffee are you
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: normally by noon? Oh? Usually it's about two d's in
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the morning and then I uh kind of slow it
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: down that huge cup. Two of those. Yeah, but you
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: get your own, you're not a oh yeah, I do
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: my Yeah. Matter of fact, I bought my own. I
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: have my own coffee making now, Just so I don't
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: get I used to get frustrated early on in my career.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I'd come in the morning and get everything ready, make
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the coffee, get my cup, go start work. Then as
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: everyone else trickled in, it always timed up. By the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: time I went back to the coffee machine, it was empty.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Then I started screaming and yelling and then so that
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: was when I was an assistant, then only became a
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: head coach. I'm like, I can't. I can't do that anymore, screaming, yell.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: So you know, I found another way to do it without.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I gotta have my own coffee maker. Yeah, I mean
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: mine's yeah, I go old school. I was grinds, just
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the coffee beans, and you know, it's not like those
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: those things now he just popped those things in. Yeah,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm like old school. And plus, you know, coffee
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: doesn't taste great until you've run millions and millions of
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: cups through it. I mean growing up in in the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Bronx when we used to go and you know, you
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: have the black coffee and you go into your espress
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: or whatever. You know, you go into these places on
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: you know, Arthur Avenue, and you look at these big
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: old machines that they've had, I mean they've been there forever,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you know, and the coffee that comes out, it's just
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: it's just it's just I can't, I can't explain it's
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: that's outstanding. I feel kind of ashamed of my little cup,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I know, put it away, put that cake couple away.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: He's not a Starbucks prappuccino type of guy. John, How
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: has this week one? It's actually gone well? Um? You know,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I think it's very difficult for people on the outside
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to look in and and try to say, hey, you
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: know you have you know a a going on or
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: be going on. You know, all the stuff that's going on.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of noise on the outside. But you know,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I give the coaches and players a lot of credit.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You know, they've come in and they's just been focused
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and they know that. Um, they've got a tough challenge
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you had, you know, heading out to Denver and playing,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and you know, I feel like we've had you know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: really two good days of practice is the whole I've
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: aways had. Theory, the whole idea of distractions is a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: little overrated because you guys have your routine every week.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: The players are here doing their own thing. Um. I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: just never thought it was that big a deal. Do
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you think that distractions are a thing? I really don't.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I think you know, it's it's um, you know, sometimes
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I think it's it's made a thank for excuses, you know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: after it's over. Um, But I don't think. Uh. Sometimes,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you know, you might have some people that are that
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: are into like drama just naturally I'm not saying that,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: but pretty much, for the most part, you know, professionals,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: was just coming and go to work. I agree with you.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of times it's it's um it's
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: over overrated, and you know, I think sometimes for me, uh,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I do a poor job you know in the media
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: when they talk to me about you know, they asked
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: me these questions and and I'm not really thinking about it,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you know, because I'm focused on what we have to do,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and you know, I kind of know where it's it's own.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it's wrong to ask questions like that,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: but you know, to me, sometimes I just I shouldn't
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: say I think it's funny or I think it's a joke,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: because obviously it's not. You know, something's going on. But
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: it was just like, come on, you know, you've gotta
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: be kidding me. You know, here, here's what we're all roll, professionals.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: It is what it is. Let's let's let's go and
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: let's get past it. Obviously, the big news have been
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Jalen in Minshumania and outside the building. It's a huge deal,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: but inside the building, it really hasn't seemed like you
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: guys think much about that. No, you know, we're just
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you know, we're just you know, going to work. It's
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the same thing with like you know, um, last year
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: with all those injuries mounting up, and this year we've
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: had some injuries, but um, they haven't really affected us
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: as much. So, UM, you know those things happening, you
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: just kind of you kind of just go forward. Um,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: there's nothing else you know, you can you can really do.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, unless you unless you want this job right
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: when you come here, and then I guess you can
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you can do a lot of that. There's been so
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: much talk about Gardner, but he's what people are talking about. Um,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you've been very forthcoming about how impressed you are by
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: how he approaches it. And it's not because all the mania.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: It's because of how he approaches the job on a
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: day to day basis. Uh, mature beyond his years and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: almost seems experience beyond his years somehow. Yeah, I agree,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I think that it's it's it's a difficult, Um, it's
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: difficult to really describe, um, you know, just his uh
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Demeana and you know, based upon how his performance has been. Um.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: And when when I say that, it's like, you know,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you know, it's hard for people to understand. It's hard
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: for me to understand, you know, if of a young
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: guy that you know, let's say it like it like
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: it was, I mean, like it is. It's a six
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: round draft pick, you know. And you know, everyone saw
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: he had a lot of opportunities in the in the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: in the preseason, and again I talked about the preseason.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: You know, you don't have the best of the players
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that you have around him, which is kind of tough
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to to evaluate, but you know, and then going in
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: there and and um, you know, and playing the way
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: he's been playing is is really um. You know, you
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you always have to watch what you say as a coach.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: But you know, I let this word out the other day,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and and it really the truth. I mean, I don't
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: have the time right now to really evaluate what's going on,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you know, because we're trying to push and get better
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and keep going. But I you know, if I did
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: sit back and I wasn't pushing all the time, I
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: would use the word remarkable, you know, to to the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: performance that he has and I think that, um, But
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: when you start to really get underneath the player and
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the personality, you can see why there is success for him.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: You know that that gives him that opportunity and you
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: know we're hoping that he can continue that had been
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: times where he's come over to the sidelines in a
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: crucial moment and you thought, this kid doesn't act like
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a rookie. I mean, I assume some rookie quarterbacks would
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: be overwhelmed by the moment. Yeah, I think I think
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: what happens John is is during that moment as a coach,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and you don't you're not thinking you know what I'm saying,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: You're not really thinking about that, And I think you're
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: going through the discussion, Hey, these are the two things.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: This is what we think they're gonna do. This is
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: what we like, You're comfortable. How do you feel? This
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: is the way we want you to read it. You know,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: those are the kind of things that go on. You know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I'm saying when when those guys come over to the
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: sideline and then you put them out there. But I
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: think to your point, I think it's something you think
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: about afterwards, you know what I mean. Like, so when
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the game's over, it's like, hey, there's a crucial play,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: or this happened, or how easy when he comes over
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the sideline, then you start thinking about it. You're like,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's pretty natural, you know, and and and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that's probably the best way to say it. I think,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: you know, if you can communicate and it's natural and
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: as communication going both ways, then then you have a
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: chance to be successful. If the communication is going one
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: way or the other, it doesn't matter player to coach
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: or coach the player. You know, if if that's not
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: being you know, if that's not collectively you know, a
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: collaborative type of effort to figure out what the best
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: thing is, then you've got a problem on one side,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: either the coaches or the player. The running game has
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: been a huge emphasis. You've talked about it, Leonards talked
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: about offensive line. They said they've worked on communication this week.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Do you expect it to be better on Sunday or
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: does it take way more time than just a week
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: of being an emphasis? I mean, you know, you know,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: you go out and you expect it to be better.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Anytime you emphasize something or you work on something, um,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you expect it to be better. The thing that that
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: happens is it doesn't doesn't you know, do you get
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: that instant gratification? You know? And I think that's what
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: your question is. And you know, sometimes you do and
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: sometimes you don't. And obviously the goal is to try
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: to get it, but you know we're gonna try to
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: get it without putting I guess the you know, the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: plan and Jeff, you know what I'm saying of what
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: we're trying to do. And you know, like I said before,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, we can go out there and and hand
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: that ball off and run and run and we'll break,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you know, break a couple. But is that going to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: help us, you know, win a game. Um, I don't know.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: But what we've talked about is what the reason why
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I think we put a lot of emphasis on it.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Of course we want to get it going, is really
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: to open up this play action game where we can
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: get these big chunk plays and you know, have people
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: back there and then you know, if we do run it,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: we can get our running backs on the safeties down
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the field, so that there's a lot of things that
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that open up to you and and you have manageable
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: third downs and you know, you know, people will always
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: talk or you know, I hear here. When you know
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: someone comes up and says, you gotta run the ball more,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: you got you know, you gotta run I get that.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt, you know. But my my point is
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: is that it's not that they're wrong, but there's certain
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: things that you have to do as a as an
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: offense to be able to run the football more. And
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of it comes down to third down. And
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: when you see these teams and you do these studies
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: of teams that you know run the football, you'll see
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: that they're in the high sixties low seventies from the
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: stand on point of plays because they're able to, you know,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: keep it going, keep mixing it up um and stay
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: on the field. You know, usually if you're not being
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: able to stay on the field, it's because you can't
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: get manageable situations and convert on third down. You know. Therefore,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: it's going to be very difficult to keep running the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: football and score points. You talked over the years about
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: veterans that you respect, Uh, guys like Curtis Martin who
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: you've been around Mawai. Uh, it sounds like a Calais
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: is in that same class to you guys who take
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: care of themselves, guys who are able to extend their
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: careers and play at a high level. D Yeah, I
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: think that, you know, when I look back, you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure that that I'm clear that
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I respect really everyone that plays the game, because it's
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: such a tough game to play, meaning that you know,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the way you have to take care of your body,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the uh, just a mental part of it. There's just
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: a lot that that goes into it. And don't get
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: me wrong, I think you get more out of this game, um,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: you know, than than anything else, at least for me.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: You know, the discipline of life and things of that
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: nature if you do it the right way. And I
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: think that when I look back and I look at
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: guys like Curtis Martin and Kevin and has many many
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: other players. UM, you know, I think Klais does fall
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: in into that, um that boat. And I've been very fortunate. UM.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know whether it's because of the position I
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: coached or um, you know, maybe it was just luck,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: but I've really been around um not only to me,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: not only outstanding football players. UM. Granted that's important when
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: you look at the job, but more importantly to me,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: outstanding people, outstanding you know, human beings, whether it be
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: outstanding husbands, fathers, people in the community and leaders. And
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, for me, when I go back
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and I look for the players that I've been associated
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: with or been privileged to work that too, and that's
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: that's how I see it. Um, that's the one thing
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I look at. And when you look at Klaus, I mean,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: look what he's done both locally and in Denver, you know, charity,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: look at you know how how successfully has been for
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: such a long period of time, and you know how
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: great he is to his teammates. You know, I agree,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know he's up there. I'd find it
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: very very difficult. You know if ten fifteen years whatever
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: it is from now that that you know, a guy
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: like him is not in the Hall of Fame. Not
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: just because he's a great player, obviously, that's why you
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: get voted in the Hall of Fame, but gosh, what
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: a great representative of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: For sure, we go back to last year when this
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: team was struggling five and eleven. He was always the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: guy when we went in the locker room that you
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: would stand up and be honest and give us as
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: much time as we needed. Yeah, you too. Okay him
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: as a player, you as a coach well, but also
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: also the guy late in the season who continued to
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: show up playing through different stuff and playing at a
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: high level, which is not easy. No, And you know
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the older that you get and I saw this with
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you know, with Curtis and and and Kevin and then
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of players. But you know the amount of
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: time that you have to spend making sure that you know,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: nutrition getting your body right and play. You know, it's
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's a big commitment, it really is. I
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: don't think you know, it's not like you just go
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: grab a bag of ice and you put it on
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and so I mean, you're there has a lot of
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: things going on to make sure that you can still
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: play at that level. Um, you know, for for for
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: as long as as those guys have played. Going in
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Denver this weekend, you're excited to get back on the road.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: And this also the emphasis this week has been in
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the locker room. You guys, this doesn't seem like a
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: winless team the Broncos. No, No, I mean you look
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: at the talent they have. Um, you know, obviously we're
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: we're excited to play. Um, you know, it's we're we
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: always get more excited when we play at home. But
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: you know, but it's it's a it's a great challenge
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: for us to go out there. It's, um, it's a
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: you know, I've been out there, you know, a couple
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: of times as a player and a coach, so you
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: know it'll be a challenging atmosphere. You know. But when
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you look at this team, you know, you see a
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: lot of talent, and um, you know, they've got guys
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: that can make plays and do a lot of things
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: and and and they're gonna they're gonna get their share
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: of plays. You just hope it's not game changing type
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: plays and things of that type, you know nature that
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you know, these these players are gonna have you know,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: stats at the end of the year, and you know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: if they get him against you just make sure it's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: you know, it's you get to win, because you know,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: you look at von Miller, you look at Chub, you
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: look at you know, lindsay to running back, and he's
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: you know, he's he's a player. I think everyone knows
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: about von Miller and because you know they're it's great players.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: And but you know, Lindsay is a guy that not
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of people know about. You know, who's an
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: outstanding running back that can you know, run the football,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: catch the football really good in space, really good inside um.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: And then obviously we know of Sutton and Sanders on
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the outside, but you know, he's a guy that many
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: people might not know about. But he's a heck of
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: a football player. And they've got a good team and
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I got a really good coaching staff. All right, coach,

  Speaker 1: post her child, Yeah, that's him. That's all right. Let's
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: get into big things. Big thing one is momentum. Obviously,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: there's been a ton of momentum this week in the
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: loft room. We've heard it from head coach dun Browne.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: It was great to get a Thursday night football when
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the momentum carrying it on too Denver will be huge.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Big thing too is the running game. Obviously, that needs
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: to get better as well. We just heard head coach
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Dun Morone say it starts up front with the offensive line.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Leonard for in locker room yesterday definitely seemed frustrated that
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: it's not where it needs to be as of right now.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: And Big thing three is resiliency. So yesterday in Jaguars
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinators John D. Philippo's press conference, he was talking
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: about how he was kind of down when Nick Foles
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: went down the first game players game of the season,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: and how can you not be your starting quarterback goes down.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Obviously they had a great relationship, but he pointed out
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Doug Marrone as keeping it even keel. We know he's
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: great at that, but for a coach to say that
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: about their head coach really shows something. Yeah, I mean
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: it's uh if you've been around Doug through really two thousand, seventeen, eighteen,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: and nineteen. He was here a couple of games in sixteen,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: but it's hard to get a feel for what he
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: was as a coach. I've always told people when to
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: talk about Doug, he is a professional football coach in
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: this sense. He's not going to be raw roy guy.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: He's not going to try to rely on a motion
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: that perhaps a college coach can when you're dealing with
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: nineteen to twenty two year old kids. Doug understands that
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: he's dealing with the professional athlete. That even keels all
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: about it. And I've been around different coaches who, uh,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: every NFL coach strives and says they're about consistency and
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: says they don't get too higher to oh, some do
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: a better job at it than others. Doug is very
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: good at that, partly because he always sort of keeps
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: it low. Yeah, he's always sorted down so it but
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: that's who he is and I think the important thing
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: with Doug is he never tries to be something he's not,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: which in the NFL is the biggest way to fail
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: as a head coach is to try to act or
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: treat people in a phony way, if you will. He
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: never does that, and I think over time players understand
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: that when he says something, he's saying something real to
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: him and they typically respond to that. So, uh, yeah,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: he's the steady guy. He's the guy who's not going
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: to get too higher, too low. And I've always thought
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: that the only way to succeed as head coach. And
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: that's why it almost drawed my attention when he was
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: just talking about Gardner Minshew and he said he used
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the word remarkable about his first three games that normally
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't come out of his mouth, something like remarkable. Well,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: with Gardner, you just don't see it. Um. I've been
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: doing this twenty five years. I don't pretend to have
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the insight into players that Doug does, but you just
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: don't see rookies, you know. In my stories for Jaguars
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: dot Com, for example, I rarely talk to rookies unless
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to the rookie about themselves, because they usually
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: don't have anything to say about the NFL because they
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: haven't been doing it long enough. They have no perspective.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: And when you talk to him, there's very little insight
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: because they're trying to figure out if their code is
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: still working in the morning. You know, they're still trying
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: to figure out. Yeah. And so Gardener, I think because
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: of his path here, because he played at so many
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: different schools, when there's so many different situations, he to
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: me feels like a fifth year guy, which is a
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: quarterback to feel like a fifth year guy. I've never
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: seen it before, and I've never been around a rookie quarterback,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: first round pick. I've never had that guy come in
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: and own a situation. Gardeners as good as I've seen
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: in terms of feeling like a quarterback, feeling like he
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: brings those her back things you need in his first year. Um,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: it's it is remarkable. Yeah, And it's a lot to
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: ask someone in their early twenties. I mean, the attention
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: he's getting around the country. And he was talking about
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: his roommate was in here on Happy Hour saying how
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: he wakes up in the morning to all these Instagram
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: followers and national phenomenon. I know, you know the feeling,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: so I get that from him. Um. I think the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: important they remember about Gardner, and I think sometimes people
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: who are outside the team and just follow through the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: media maybe don't grasp this element of it. And you're
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: at him too. I get the idea that the forty
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: five seconds that Gardner talked about Minsheu mania in the
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: press commence the other day is probably the only time
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: he's thought about it since he landed out to get
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: off the plane from Pullman, Meaning it's not like he's
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: caught up in Minshu mania. When he talks about it.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: He addresses it. He knows it's there, he knows from
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: experience last year that it's a topic people are going
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: to ask about, but he gives it. It's in this
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: small situation, but that's fifteen minutes of his week, and
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: there's seven days that he has, so um, he knows
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: how to handle it, he knows where to put that
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: to be able to go and do his job. And
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: for a rookie to to have that feel about him again,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: it's it's remarkable. And I think at the quarterback position
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: that's so much more important than the others. It's why
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: he has a chance to succeed. And I don't think
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Minshumani is slowing down anytime soon. No, but he won't
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: get caught up in it. I mean, if he hasn't
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: now he never went. He'll enjoy it. And in the
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: off season, I'm sure you know, we'll see Instagram, you know,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: photos of him wherever. But uh, you know, and he'll
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: continue to show me that he has a better day
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: than I've had a life. But that's good for him
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: in the off season. But he uh he uh. You
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: can't say enough about his ability to handle this situation.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Many many rookies, this would blow up in their face.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think it will with him. I'm sensing a
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: little bit of jealousy maybe with his social life. Well
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: it's just more just a chronic depression on my phone.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: But that's fine, just constant, constant. I can do all right, good,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I'm worried about this. That's what the young kids say, right,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I can deal. Yeah, you get a good deal. Even
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: hang out with the Gardner. Oh, he couldn't handle me.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: When we come back to something, he will, he won't.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: He might for Sunday's game in Denver right here on
• 23:21

• 25:07
  Speaker 1: morning as the Jags head to Denver tomorrow to look
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: for their second win of the season. And we have
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: he will, he won't, he might against the Broncos, got
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: the most popular guy the week almost this week move
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: to Jalen Rams. Yeah, and I'll do that. He will,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: he won't, he might format because Brian loves it so much. Yes,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: please follow the directions. He will continue to be the
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: main story around this team, for better or for worse. Uh.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: And it's unstoppable now. The momentum that the story, as
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I guess, because it's so out there and you've got
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: national people tweeting about it, It's become one of those
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: stories that truly takes on a life of its own,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: and the story itself is uh one thing, and people's
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: opinions on the story are a completely different thing. And
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: it's almost like the opinions on the story start to
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: push the story in different directions. And that is what
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: it is. But as we talked to Doug about, I
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: don't think it affects us locker room very much, which
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: is he won't be a distraction. And I continue to
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: get emails and people talk to me about they've got
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: to do something about Jalen Ramsey because it's distracting things
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: and it's taking things off course. Um, the reality is
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: this all started in the first quarter against Houston. They
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: have played better in the seven quarters since this all
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: started than they have in a year. Maybe keep it
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: going so there's no distraction on this front. And let's
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: be honest about Jalen. He got drafted number five over
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: all on two that in sixteen. He's been a distraction
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: since he walked in the door. If this is a distraction,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: he's been distractions he walked in the door. And I
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: don't I don't necessarily mean to say there's a negative.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: You heard me over the year, So I don't mind
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: all the stuff that Jalen brings with him. All the
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: brinks truck, that's fine. But if that was a distraction,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: which I didn't think it was, But if that's what
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: it was, all of this is still the same sort
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: of thing. So I don't think it's gonna be a
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: huge effect, and he might play. I think there's a
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: very good chance, maybe a better and fit recent chance,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: that he plays on Sunday, and I don't know how
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: well he'll play with no preparation. The thing that concerns
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: you about him playing is not necessarily hasn't practiced, if
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: he hasn't been in meetings, So that would be the
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: concern there. I think that would be the only reason
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: that they would hesitate and that they should maybe pump
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the brakes on him playing. It's one thing to play
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: without practicing, which he can, which he can do, and
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: which most elite players can do, and most players can
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: do if it's only been one week, um, But to
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: play without knowing the defense and being really immersed in
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: the schemes you're running. Uh, that's the one thing that
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: gavin't effect, right, And we know with the schemes and everything,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: if Jalen is on key with everyone, that can lead
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: to yeah, well, if you're playing in the secondary. Is
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: that way with anybody. But if you're playing the secondary
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: and you're on the same page, all of a sudden
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: you're talking busted Big plays, So uh, we'll see what happens.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: But that would be, in fact, the only thing I
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: can think of. And it's not distracting, because, like we've said,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: it's been a week to week thing with Jaymen. It's
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: almost like this is just another thing. But the only
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: thing I can think of is Trey Herndon because you
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: go back and forth and back and forth. We were
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: talking to in the locker room room yesterday, and for
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: him not to know I think daily where he stands.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: That's the only thing I could think of. It's tough.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: But he's also been preparing for as a backup forever.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know that his role in what he's studying
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: to change that much based on whether or not Jane
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Ramsey plays. I think if they were doing things along
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the lines, if it was this scenario, if you were
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: moving d J. Hayden from Nickel out to the outside
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: to replace him, I think that would be okay, who's
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: playing here? Who's playing here? He's playing They know it'll
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: be Trey Herndon. Trey Hernon's job has been to be
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: ready to play Nickel and play the outside. So it's
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: a small factor. But I don't think that's what people
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: are thinking when they think distraction. I think they think that,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: you know, Leonard for Nett and Brandon Lender are all
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: worked up about what's going on everywhere. I really think
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: at this point with Jalen, after three years, it's hey,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: what Jalen say? Now? Okay, and then they move on
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: because he's a magnetic, polarizing guy. I don't think that
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: changes with this. Yeah, and we know how close Leonard
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: and Jalen are. Over the summer, I was up there
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: and I was asking Leonard about Jalen and he goes, oh, well, yeah,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: he's the drama child. We know that he's he's drama
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: and they accepted for what it is, right, and it's
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: almost just another check of what he's done. Absolutely all right, Mike,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: he will, he won't, He might? Is Leonard for nets
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: he will improve this week because we know that he's
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: been frustrated with the running game, with the lack of production.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't just start with him. It starts the
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: offensive line. Like we heard head coach Doug Marrown say,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: with how much it's been an emphasis this week, I
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: would think it has to improve at least a little bit.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: He won't be all bright and shine everything's gonna be great.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: There's always been been some frustrations about it. Um, he's
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: been vocal about how he's been using the blocking game.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: That's going to have to continue. He's going to be
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: continued to be using the blocking game, but it's not
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: going to be just a bright, shiny path and everyone's
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: gonna get along the rest of the season. With this
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: running game. It's gonna be a few bumpy pass at times,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: and he might get his first touchdown of the season
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: this week. I see him coming back in a big way.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: I think he's been very vocal and honest this week
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: about the running game, and I see it getting better
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: this week. He talked on Thursday about frustration, but I
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: thought that he was good in the way he talked
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: about it. It didn't feel like it was a frustration
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: that was aimed at other people. It was more, look,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: we have to get this going. Um. They didn't play
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: together primarily because of injuries. The offensive line would have
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: been together more and I think they would have played
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: those guys, Uh, maybe a little more in in spots
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: had they been healthy. Cam was still coming back. Remember
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Cam's first game. Cam Robinson's first game was three. They
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: really haven't even haven't even had him for week one
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: or week two. He's a really important part of the
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: running game. Continuity in the running game, and we really
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: didn't get to this with Doug. Run blocking and run
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: offense is one thing that I've consistently over the years
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: seen teams improve on as the season goes on. A
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: lot of times teams are what they are entering the season.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: You don't get that much better in spots. The running
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: game is the one exception of that because continuity is
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: so important. So if these guys can stay together, if
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Camp can get comfortable, they had the pieces to be
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: a good run blocking team. It would not surprise me
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: if they got significantly better. I don't think they'd be
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: never won in the league with it. But you don't
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: have to be. As long as your running game is
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: giving your passing game opportunities, that should be enough. In
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah, and Lennon was saying yesterday in the
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: locker room how he wants to be a running back
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: first and he loves the screen game and passes and blocking,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: but I gotta be a running back first. And I
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: think that's where he's getting frustrated. He's been used in
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: so many different angles that the run games being affected
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: by and I think that will again. Oh where time
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: happened And he seemed to get that. He went there
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: a couple of times yesterday. Of Look, we didn't play
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: together very much in the preseason. This is going to
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: come a lot of times. The running game can look
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: a lot worse, and it can look tragic frankly, and
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: be a lot closer than people think. You get the
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: idea that they think they're getting there on some level. Yeah,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: getting clubs all right? When we come back, pick one
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: and pick it for this NFL weekend. Right here on

  Speaker 1: Time Friday Morning, our last segment, we talked about minsh Mania.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: This is nothing like it. Uncle Rico visiting the building yesterday.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: It was a scene. It was a scene. Employees were
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: lined up outside to take pictures with Uncle Rico. Did
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: you grow up on on that movie? It was a
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: game changer, was right in your wheelhouse. It was a
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: little star struck, not gonna lie. I was like, no, Shelon,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: don't be that girl and go get in line for
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: the picture. Oh it's okay with it right now? Yeah,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: please don't do that. Is he a movie? Yeah, he's
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: an icon. He is an American icon. It's fair. So
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: it's going to be on Sunday NFL countdown what they
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: did together. I can only imagine how that conversation went.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: So it was probably Gardener's wheelhouse too, because I mean
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: that movie is probably he was probably a little star struck,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: probably a tier Napoleon dynamite. I've been't. I was drawing
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: a blank. But yeah, okay, that movie, well yeah I hadn't.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: There you go, you're hipet, you're a hip all right,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: pick one and pick it this weekend, two good ones.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Go for it. John, Um. I had to and I
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: need to see the graphic to be honest. Okay, Cowboys Saints.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: I remember I was I was strongly considering two from
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the NFC, and I was feeling a little guilty about
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: not going a f C South. But the a f
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: C South we didn't have any premium matchups and there
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: were a couple that It appears to me the Jaguars
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: need to win this week because it looks like the
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: other a f C South teams will win, so they
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: need to win to keep pace. Cowboys Saints is a
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: huge game. I think it's a statement game of sorts
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: for the Saints, who went out to Seattle last week
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: and surprised me by being able to win real untily
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: convincingly on the road in Seattle. A lot of people
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: think the Cowboys are a playoff team. This is the
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: kind of game to me. Historically, the Saints go win
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: and draw the Cowboys back to the pack a little bit.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: It's very hard early in the season for a team
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: like the Cowboys, unbeaten, to beat a historically good team
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: like the Saints and sort of bury them. So this
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: again plays in the first half the season. To me,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: is always desperate team time. If a team thinks it's
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: about to play its way out but still has a
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: chance to be in it, or if they're in danger
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: of getting knocked out but still has a chance to
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: be in it, they're very dangerous. I think Saints in
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: this one. Ezekiel Elliott. It seems like ever since he
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: got that contract and got paid, the Cowboys have been
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: so hyped up nationally wide. Obviously because of how they're playing,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: but so much attention is on the Cowboys. You really
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: don't hear much about Saints at all. It feels like
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: a year that is coming together for the Cowboys. They've
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: been good and close and talked about because they're the
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Cowboys for four or five years. The way they've started,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: it feels like they have it together. It feels they're
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: going to be there for the long term. Often that
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: team in in the short term during the season, it's
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: going to hit some snags against really good teams. If
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys win this, it's a huge statement to me
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: because the Saints are desperate, and it's hard to be
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: team desperate in September and October. Alright, my pick one
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: and pick it is Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears. Minnesota
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Vikings offense Dalvin Cook is the focal point lately. Ran
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: the ball a hundred and three times so far, third
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: most in the league, and they're looking to go three
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: and Oh they're undefeated at this point. But it's hard
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: to run against the Bears defense. We watched them play
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: last week and their defense is really impressive. Not many
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: lanes to run against the Bears. They've only allowed three
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: yards per carry. After watching the Bears last week and
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: that defense, I don't know many offenses that can beat them. Yeah,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: defense is really good. Uh. The Vikings defense is also
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: really good. These are two teams I would expect to
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: be in the playoffs I chase late in the season.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: I was as surprised the Packers lost last night, but
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: again not team desperate because the Eagles really needed the
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Packers needed a much So Uh, this really isn't either
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: case being I have to this to me feels like
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: more like two teams are gonna fight for it at
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: the end. Uh. I like the Vikings a little more
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: because it feels like the Bears offensive self in trouble
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: getting going. All right, John, we gotta end the show.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Are they gonna win Sunday? I think they will, um it.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: It is tough It's a tough point for the Jags
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: because the Broncos do have talent. They're playing at home.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: If the Broncos get breaks early, then it's gonna be dangerous.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: But you would like to see the Jaguars somehow do
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: exactly what they did last week, which is obviously got
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: a four teen point lead. It goes about saying, but
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: to get a couple more breaks early to get things
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: going their way early. This team, once it starts rushing
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: the pastor is very dangerous, meaning the Jaguars the Broncos
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: are the same thing. So, uh, you don't want to
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: give a team like this life early. So I think
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: the first quarter of this game is very key because
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Mile High. If it gets going, they're going to think
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: they have a chance and that they're saving their season.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: So you want to go as much as possibly want
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: to kill the way. But I don't think that I
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: felt really confident about the Titans game last week they
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: were gonna win big. I don't think they're gonna win big,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: but I thinks Jack was find a way to win.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: I wrote in your final analysis that I think if
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Cam Robinson and Joan Taylor show up to play, they
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: got no problem von Miller and Bradley Chubb. That's they're
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: on the plane. Yeah, what I'm saying, they gotta gotta
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: be yes, they have to be as well. Yeah, that's Keith.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I think they'll play. I mean, it's a huge game
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: for both of them. Uh. And it's a chance for
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Camp particularly to play well. He's been sort of quietly
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: criticized at times over the last couple of years when
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: he has played, so it's a chance for him to
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: prove something. Bounce back game for sure. Big task. Alright,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: stay tuned Sunday morning Jaguars pregame Radio right here in
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: the studio. We'll be back Tuesday morning on drivetime. John
• 39:53
