- 0:43Speaker 1: more somber and um, a little more depressed down. Yeah, yeah,

- 0:54Speaker 1: a new week. You know. You have the twenty four
- 0:56Speaker 1: hour rule for the players, so I think we should

- 1:02Speaker 1: You can talk about it as long as you want. Yeah,
- 1:04Speaker 1: that's why I refer to like us as as we
- 1:06Speaker 1: like we not being the players. So it was a
- 1:10Speaker 1: tough Sunday to be a spectator. Of or to be
- 1:13Speaker 1: a you know, a fan of the team. Um, just
- 1:16Speaker 1: it wasn't a fun pretty game to watch, and uh
- 1:21Speaker 1: it really just wasn't fun leaving there either, because then
- 1:23Speaker 1: you got to hear it from all the Titans fans.
- 1:25Speaker 1: So putty to get to today. Here's what we're getting
- 1:28Speaker 1: into in this program. The big things for the show today,
- 1:31Speaker 1: the final thoughts on the Titans. Also put it to bed.
- 1:34Speaker 1: We're gonna move on to the New York Jets. Steve
- 1:37Speaker 1: Weatherford will join us over the phone. Yes, he played
- 1:41Speaker 1: for the Jets, has a Super Bowl ring with the Giants,
- 1:44Speaker 1: had a cup of coffee with the Jaguars. We'll get
- 1:47Speaker 1: to catch up with Weatherford coming up. And John Oser,
- 1:51Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com senior writers with us. And some good
- 1:54Speaker 1: questions this week yea for Social Scobie. Yeah, they the
- 1:58Speaker 1: fans brought it this week. Some good, funny questions and
- 2:02Speaker 1: serious and not so serious questions. So that's why I
- 2:04Speaker 1: love my Twitter followers, because they asked me some really
- 2:08Speaker 1: random things, that's for sure. Well you're kind of a
- 2:11Speaker 1: random answer kind of guy. Well, and that's why I
- 2:15Speaker 1: appreciate him. They know my sarcasm even though I don't
- 2:19Speaker 1: have the font built in just yet. Uh, they get
- 2:22Speaker 1: it so that I get a lot of sarcastic questions
- 2:25Speaker 1: and I enjoy the social media. All right, before we
- 2:28Speaker 1: move on and and put this game to bed, let's
- 2:30Speaker 1: go to the shirt of the week. You have the
- 2:33Speaker 1: DTWD original shirt. And that's pretty cool. Yeah, that's a
- 2:36Speaker 1: good one. I like this the motors building. It's uh
- 2:39Speaker 1: family music. Yeah yeah, but they renamed it for this
- 2:44Speaker 1: so it says go Jaguars, Bold City. It's a pretty
- 2:49Speaker 1: cool shirt. I've only been wearing it for about hour
- 2:51Speaker 1: and a half now, but already got quite a few
- 2:53Speaker 1: comments on it. So good looking shirt. And just another
- 2:57Speaker 1: one of the d t w D originals puts out.
- 3:00Speaker 1: They just gave me a fresh new batch of them
- 3:02Speaker 1: for a few more weeks. They apparently don't have extra
- 3:04Speaker 1: large They don't know. I don't know where you know
- 3:07Speaker 1: where we got lost in translation. I'll see if I
- 3:10Speaker 1: can make a phone call or and tweet or something.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Maybe we can make that happen. That would be, you know,
- 3:14Speaker 1: not a big deal. I'm not You've been talking about
- 3:16Speaker 1: it for like four weeks. Not a big deal. It's
- 3:18Speaker 1: just you know, a month you know it's no big deal.
- 3:20Speaker 1: All right, I'll see what I can no promise, but
- 3:22Speaker 1: I'll see what I could do. We have another like
- 3:25Speaker 1: probably a two extra couple of those in there and
- 3:27Speaker 1: the other room. Patrick's probably a large, Joe's medium, He's
- 3:31Speaker 1: a medium large. We'll get to those, of course. Um,
- 3:35Speaker 1: So this is a This is an ugly football game
- 3:39Speaker 1: on Sunday. The Titans and the Jack nine to six.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Jack's offense can't move the ball. The defense is doing
- 3:45Speaker 1: their thing sure and key moments they couldn't get them
- 3:47Speaker 1: off the field late. You can't hang this on the defense.
- 3:50Speaker 1: So the offense got past the fifty twice in the game,
- 3:54Speaker 1: they were never in the red zone and all that
- 3:56Speaker 1: adds up to a kicker day and no offense to
- 3:59Speaker 1: kill cars. You don't want that really to to be
- 4:01Speaker 1: the outcome here, No, you don't. When I was playing,
- 4:05Speaker 1: I love those type of days whenever we would actually
- 4:07Speaker 1: win those games. But as a spectator and someone who
- 4:12Speaker 1: is a Jaguar fan, you don't want to see this
- 4:14Speaker 1: type of day. You want to see the offense move
- 4:17Speaker 1: a little better or a lot better than they did.
- 4:20Speaker 1: And coming out off last week against the Patriots, everyone
- 4:23Speaker 1: expected this game to be quite a bit different. We
- 4:26Speaker 1: expected to move the ball a lot better than what happened,
- 4:29Speaker 1: and it just seemed like things weren't clicking at all.
- 4:32Speaker 1: It seemed like play calling was a little bit different,
- 4:36Speaker 1: a little more conservative in my point of view, um
- 4:40Speaker 1: and things. Execution just really didn't pan out. And there's
- 4:44Speaker 1: some drops by the receivers, some um mis throws by Blake,
- 4:48Speaker 1: some batted down passes that basically resulted in the offense
- 4:54Speaker 1: going nowhere. And like you said, the only past the
- 4:56Speaker 1: fifty twice in a game. That's almost hard to do
- 5:00Speaker 1: to only pass the fifty twice in one NFL game.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Blake Bortles said it the other day, even after the game.
- 5:05Speaker 1: I think it's hard to score only six points in
- 5:08Speaker 1: an NFL game. Yeah, that's that just tells me that
- 5:11Speaker 1: everyone was a little bit off. And it's hard to
- 5:15Speaker 1: put your finger on and say exactly what it was
- 5:17Speaker 1: because it was multiple things. But I have a feeling
- 5:21Speaker 1: that they're gonna work really hard this week and right
- 5:24Speaker 1: the ship and and do exactly what they need to do.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Look at the film, get over it, and move on
- 5:29Speaker 1: to the first day of practice tomorrow. And I think
- 5:32Speaker 1: the thing that a lot of people are just having
- 5:34Speaker 1: in trouble swallowing is that against the Patriots, the offense
- 5:38Speaker 1: were great. Blake was great. They're making throws, unbelievable catches,
- 5:41Speaker 1: They're running the ball when they have to, even without warning.
- 5:44Speaker 1: For net didn't run a lot in that game. But
- 5:46Speaker 1: the offense moved the ball and they scored points in
- 5:48Speaker 1: this and it looks so great and the next week
- 5:50Speaker 1: out just it's a total opposite feel. I mean, how
- 5:55Speaker 1: can it be that extreme, I guess is a question. Yeah,
- 5:58Speaker 1: that's what you don't want as Jaguars offense. You need
- 6:01Speaker 1: to have some consistency, and going from last week to
- 6:04Speaker 1: this week, there was zero consistency. And there's a quite
- 6:08Speaker 1: a difference between the Patriots defense and the Titans defense,
- 6:12Speaker 1: especially their D line. Their D line has some really
- 6:15Speaker 1: good players, So opening up those lanes for the running game,
- 6:19Speaker 1: it wasn't there. And then the screen game didn't work
- 6:23Speaker 1: for the most part. And I mean you can see
- 6:25Speaker 1: the numbers right there. There just nothing really clicked all day.
- 6:29Speaker 1: And Blake's yard per attempt was very low. They were
- 6:32Speaker 1: throwing the ball short quite a bit and not getting
- 6:35Speaker 1: much out of it. And all that results in six points,
- 6:39Speaker 1: and six point six points are great, but uh, if
- 6:44Speaker 1: you're the other team and you're expecting to win every
- 6:47Speaker 1: single game, if if one team scores six, Leonard for
- 6:51Speaker 1: that was not available for this game yet again, and
- 6:54Speaker 1: you know, this was the kind of game you didn't
- 6:56Speaker 1: really miss him a lot against the Patriots, but this
- 6:59Speaker 1: is the kind of game of physical in the trenches,
- 7:01Speaker 1: gotta get two yards, let's handed off to the big back,
- 7:03Speaker 1: kind of game that you could have used him. And
- 7:07Speaker 1: it's starting to add up a little bit now. You
- 7:09Speaker 1: there was all that talk last week, all the offenses
- 7:12Speaker 1: all right without him. You gotta have your best running
- 7:14Speaker 1: back on this football team available. Yeah, there's a reason
- 7:17Speaker 1: he was a top five pick. It's because he has
- 7:19Speaker 1: that type of talent that is gonna endure this type
- 7:23Speaker 1: of game. And this, like you said, this is a tough,
- 7:26Speaker 1: hard nosed football team, but on both sides, especially on
- 7:29Speaker 1: their d lines, So the running game was gonna be key,
- 7:32Speaker 1: and it seemed like that was the big difference. The
- 7:34Speaker 1: Titans kept putting themselves in third and manageable and not
- 7:38Speaker 1: so much third and long to where they had to
- 7:40Speaker 1: pass the ball. It seemed like they were in a
- 7:42Speaker 1: lot of third and threes, third and fours, third and
- 7:45Speaker 1: shorts that are a whole lot more manageable, and it
- 7:48Speaker 1: seemed like the Jaguars were always in third and long
- 7:51Speaker 1: and having to throw the ball and it just didn't
- 7:53Speaker 1: work out. That's not gonna work out at all, not
- 7:55Speaker 1: for this type of offense. To the way the Jaguars
- 7:57Speaker 1: have built. That's they're they're built for short and pounded
- 8:01Speaker 1: up in the exactly defensively, they gave up nine points.
- 8:06Speaker 1: You expect to win every single game when you give
- 8:07Speaker 1: up nine points. So I can't ask a whole lot
- 8:11Speaker 1: more from these guys. You can't. I mean, nine points
- 8:14Speaker 1: is nine points. At the same time, like I said,
- 8:17Speaker 1: there were a lot of third manageables, and I really
- 8:20Speaker 1: think the big difference was when Gabbett went down, the
- 8:24Speaker 1: game plan changed for the Titans and the I'm sure
- 8:29Speaker 1: the game plan changed for the type of game the
- 8:31Speaker 1: Jaguars defense thought it was gonna be. So obviously they
- 8:36Speaker 1: might not have adjusted as perfect or as well as
- 8:39Speaker 1: they wanted to, but that's the thing you have to
- 8:41Speaker 1: be ready for, and they probably had to know that.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Even if Gabbert hadn't played well that they might have
- 8:46Speaker 1: gone back to Mariota, and but you knew Mariota is
- 8:50Speaker 1: limited and what he could do, and then that showed
- 8:52Speaker 1: in the game. It wasn't like he's throwing down field
- 8:54Speaker 1: all the time. Couldn't feel it to throw down fields,
- 8:56Speaker 1: so a lot of it was short outside passing game,
- 9:00Speaker 1: a few yards here there. Then run the stupid read
- 9:02Speaker 1: option and and then can't stand. It's great when it
- 9:07Speaker 1: works for you because the Jags have it in too,
- 9:10Speaker 1: but they don't lean on it as much as Mariana
- 9:12Speaker 1: had to the other day. But it it worked quite
- 9:14Speaker 1: a bit. I mean, it's the same offense that he
- 9:16Speaker 1: ran in college at Oregon and he blitz people for
- 9:19Speaker 1: that just crushed him. But it just seemed like they
- 9:23Speaker 1: kept getting five and six yards every single time they
- 9:26Speaker 1: ran that offense. And it was frustrating to watch. And
- 9:29Speaker 1: it turned out to be a very short, long day
- 9:32Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. The game ended in it seemed like
- 9:35Speaker 1: two and a half hours because of how how many
- 9:37Speaker 1: running players there were, how many long drives there were,
- 9:40Speaker 1: especially for the Titans, and it was not a fun
- 9:44Speaker 1: game to be a spectator of. No And that's what
- 9:47Speaker 1: four out of five the last five, the Titans have
- 9:50Speaker 1: one against this team. Now, I mean it's John ocean
- 9:53Speaker 1: put it had a pretty good thought last week about this,
- 9:55Speaker 1: and it it came out in this football game to
- 9:58Speaker 1: the Jags haven't stored a meaning full offensive touchdown against
- 10:01Speaker 1: the Titans in like two seasons. Now, when you think
- 10:05Speaker 1: about last year, they scored the late touchdowns they were
- 10:07Speaker 1: down thirty to three or whatever at one point in
- 10:09Speaker 1: the game, then scored some late the defensive touchdown in
- 10:12Speaker 1: Nashville last year. So it's the Christmas Eve game and
- 10:16Speaker 1: it's you got to figure out how to play against
- 10:19Speaker 1: the Titans. And the Titans just have their number right now.
- 10:21Speaker 1: They're built defensively to slow this kind of team down. Yeah,
- 10:24Speaker 1: and you know, you don't want to say that it's
- 10:27Speaker 1: becoming a thing, but it is. It almost is. And
- 10:31Speaker 1: players don't really believe that it might be in the
- 10:33Speaker 1: back of the minds of some of the guys that
- 10:35Speaker 1: have been through, you know, these four to five games
- 10:38Speaker 1: over the past three years, but we don't want it
- 10:41Speaker 1: to be a trend from now on. And we have
- 10:44Speaker 1: to go there in December on a Thursday night and
- 10:47Speaker 1: play them and you don't want to make it five
- 10:50Speaker 1: out of last six games getting beat by them. And
- 10:53Speaker 1: that's just the tough part about the NFL, especially in
- 10:56Speaker 1: your division. You play the same team twice that you
- 10:59Speaker 1: beat him the first time, it feels like you're kind
- 11:01Speaker 1: of pressing the next time you play him. Who was
- 11:03Speaker 1: the Who was the team that had you guys number
- 11:05Speaker 1: when you were playing? It was always Houston for some reason,
- 11:09Speaker 1: even whenever they weren't that great and we were trying.
- 11:12Speaker 1: You know, we had a few years where we were
- 11:15Speaker 1: they seem to have our number. I remember my rookie year,
- 11:17Speaker 1: we played them late in the year. We had just
- 11:20Speaker 1: come off of a great win at Green Bay in December,
- 11:23Speaker 1: and then we come back at home to play Houston
- 11:26Speaker 1: and we laiden Egg. It was thirty to three or
- 11:29Speaker 1: something like that. So that team kind of had had
- 11:32Speaker 1: our number for some reason. And sometimes in this league
- 11:36Speaker 1: that happens. There's just certain teams and certain matchups that
- 11:39Speaker 1: don't go well for other teams. Let's recap in the
- 11:43Speaker 1: Bowl the other day. Was it hotter Sunday than the
- 11:46Speaker 1: Patriots game? If by feel, I feel it felt a
- 11:50Speaker 1: lot hotter. Uh, from my perspective, it did, mainly for
- 11:55Speaker 1: the fact that the team was losing the entire game.
- 11:58Speaker 1: That didn't help. It not have been. But the week before,
- 12:02Speaker 1: I mean, it's such an exciting game. There's big, big
- 12:04Speaker 1: plays being made, so you're standing up, moving around doing
- 12:08Speaker 1: things that cool you off. But there's not much standing up,
- 12:11Speaker 1: moving around and enjoying a nice breeze walking down the
- 12:14Speaker 1: steps and and back up. But it was tough. And
- 12:20Speaker 1: we have our third home game in a row coming
- 12:22Speaker 1: up and a chance to go three and one in
- 12:26Speaker 1: this quarter, win the quarter, and it's something that's a
- 12:29Speaker 1: great opportunity for this team. If you listen to Twitter
- 12:32Speaker 1: and all this a lot of things this week, it's
- 12:34Speaker 1: dooming cool, right, I mean it always is. Well, it's
- 12:40Speaker 1: that's that's the bad part about the NFL, especially the fans,
- 12:44Speaker 1: is they ride the highs and the lows, and the
- 12:47Speaker 1: players try to stay on an even keel. The coaches
- 12:50Speaker 1: try to do the same. They're not in there just
- 12:53Speaker 1: ripping players over and over. They understand, especially Doug Morone,
- 12:56Speaker 1: the way he speaks, you can tell that he understands.
- 13:00Speaker 1: You have to stay a lot more even kill and
- 13:02Speaker 1: not ride that roller coaster of emotions and Uh yeah,
- 13:05Speaker 1: next week, we gotta have this one though. I mean
- 13:08Speaker 1: two and two not not a good feel when you're
- 13:12Speaker 1: going on the road for two weeks and then four
- 13:14Speaker 1: the next five or away from t I a bank field,
- 13:17Speaker 1: including the London game. So uh, three and one going
- 13:20Speaker 1: into that feels a lot. That's less tensible plane ride.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Let's say to Kansas City without a doubt, and that's
- 13:25Speaker 1: gonna be a tough matchup when they go to Kansas City.
- 13:27Speaker 1: So the Jets team coming in here, especially on offense,
- 13:31Speaker 1: they're turning over the ball quite a bit. They have
- 13:33Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback who has played well in spurts, but
- 13:36Speaker 1: he's got quite a few turn turnovers already. So I
- 13:40Speaker 1: think it's a great matchup and in a great game
- 13:42Speaker 1: to be able to bounce back from last week, get
- 13:45Speaker 1: well game right, you would hope so now and we
- 13:47Speaker 1: kind of thought that, but they kind of do in
- 13:50Speaker 1: a way. Um it's it's a good way to, you know,
- 13:54Speaker 1: mentally and physically get back on the right track and
- 13:59Speaker 1: hopefully it'll be a great Sunday. I hate to say this,
- 14:01Speaker 1: but the Fox announcers for this game, Dan Helli and
- 14:07Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher, Jeff Fisher that Jeff Fisher speaking of the Titans.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Oh man, Well, we can never get away from that guy,
- 14:15Speaker 1: all right, we can try. He's coming in this week.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Well we'll just mute him whenever, whenever he's on. But
- 14:22Speaker 1: you get what you get sometimes, I guess, um. There
- 14:25Speaker 1: you have it the review. It's it's two. We're gonna
- 14:28Speaker 1: put this one passes until John Oser comes out a
- 14:31Speaker 1: little later. We'll put some notes on that and then
- 14:33Speaker 1: we'll starting. Then we'll put it to bed. That sounds
- 14:36Speaker 1: good to me. It's over nine to six Titans win.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Jags are two and one. The Titans are in first
- 14:44Speaker 1: place in the a f C South, though they are
- 14:46Speaker 1: two and over the division of the Jags in second
- 14:48Speaker 1: same record, oh and one in the division and Indie
- 14:52Speaker 1: and then Houston right now currently at the bottom there. Josh,
- 14:56Speaker 1: it's a Houston team that they have some playmakers on
- 14:59Speaker 1: off it's you know, they just can't put it together
- 15:02Speaker 1: right now. J. J. Watt found some sacks last week,
- 15:04Speaker 1: finally three sacks in the game. But oh for for Houston,
- 15:08Speaker 1: uh Indy showed a little sign of life with Andrew Luck,
- 15:11Speaker 1: but there's still questions of where he's throwing the football
- 15:14Speaker 1: if he can get it down the field or what.
- 15:16Speaker 1: And you know what's happening here. So there's your division
- 15:19Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, I mean it's a good spot to
- 15:21Speaker 1: be in right now, essentially tied for the lead other
- 15:24Speaker 1: than the division record with Tennessee. But it could be
- 15:28Speaker 1: a lot worse. People were predicting before the year. Houston too, Uh,
- 15:33Speaker 1: come in second, maybe get a wild card and uh
- 15:36Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson to be the m B m v P
- 15:39Speaker 1: of the league one day. So you know, we could
- 15:42Speaker 1: be in much worse spots. We have a winning record
- 15:44Speaker 1: through three games. We have a home game coming up Sunday,
- 15:47Speaker 1: so it's not doom and gloom. Uh. If we get
- 15:50Speaker 1: out of this week three and one and go back
- 15:52Speaker 1: to the beginning of the year and see a lot
- 15:54Speaker 1: of people's predictions, I'd say would be right around that spot.
- 15:59Speaker 1: Everybody wants to and everything though, let's go undefeated. It's
- 16:03Speaker 1: a it's a great feeling too to have those expectations. Now.
- 16:07Speaker 1: You know, a few years ago it was not like that,
- 16:10Speaker 1: and I was a part of it, and believe me,
- 16:13Speaker 1: it was not fun. So Jaguar fans enjoy it and
- 16:17Speaker 1: be there Sunday. Show up and it's gonna be hot,
- 16:20Speaker 1: but enjoy it because we need you. That's Florida in September.

- 18:21Speaker 1: J P. Shadick, Josh Scobie, We're out to Steve Weatherford.
- 18:26Speaker 1: He'll join as shortly former NFL potter and a little
- 18:29Speaker 1: a little bit around the corner. John Ozier Jaguars dot
- 18:32Speaker 1: Com senior writer will recap this, put this game to
- 18:35Speaker 1: bed finally, and then get a little ahead to the
- 18:38Speaker 1: New York Jets and the feel around this Jaguars team,
- 18:41Speaker 1: and then we'll get to social Scoobie coming up very
- 18:45Speaker 1: very shortly. You know. Um, it's it's like we were
- 18:49Speaker 1: saying the last night. It's it's early, it's two and one.
- 18:52Speaker 1: There's still a lot of good things going on for
- 18:55Speaker 1: this football team. You've got the defense, you've got some
- 18:57Speaker 1: parts on offense. This thing just kind of happens from
- 19:01Speaker 1: time to time. It's not pretty to look at, it's
- 19:03Speaker 1: not fun. But this happened last year. To remember, it
- 19:07Speaker 1: was a great game, it was a bad game. It
- 19:09Speaker 1: was three and three. Didn't know which team, which way
- 19:11Speaker 1: this team was going to go until they found their
- 19:13Speaker 1: strata about midway through. Yeah, it seemed like a lot
- 19:16Speaker 1: of the games that we lost last year were games
- 19:20Speaker 1: that we expected to win. The early Jets game, Arizona game, um,
- 19:25Speaker 1: Tennessee both games. So it's nothing too to get too
- 19:30Speaker 1: upset about right now, not you know, make any knee
- 19:32Speaker 1: jerk reactions about Blake, about the offense, about anything, because
- 19:36Speaker 1: last week everyone loved Blake, everyone loved the offense and
- 19:39Speaker 1: how explosive it was, and this week it's the exact opposite.
- 19:43Speaker 1: So it's just the way the NFL goes. You gotta
- 19:47Speaker 1: ride the ups and downs, but not too much. Even
- 19:50Speaker 1: as a fan, not too much, and even as if
- 19:52Speaker 1: that's what fans do though, that's what they do. And
- 19:54Speaker 1: then I always love going to any team web site,
- 20:00Speaker 1: especially Facebook, and reading the comments underneath after a day
- 20:05Speaker 1: like Sunday and just looking at how irrational some people
- 20:09Speaker 1: can be and just say, take a step back, calm down.
- 20:13Speaker 1: These people in the building know what they're doing. Give
- 20:16Speaker 1: them a chance and it'll work out. All right, We're
- 20:20Speaker 1: gonna It's funny because I mean here in the you know,
- 20:25Speaker 1: if you read the comments on the OZO, it's the
- 20:26Speaker 1: same thing. I mean. And we'll hear John Osan's take
- 20:28Speaker 1: on this coming up a little later. I mean, it
- 20:30Speaker 1: never it's every day he gets emails from these fans
- 20:35Speaker 1: that are just upset about everything. That's how it is. Well,
- 20:38Speaker 1: they you know, the ones that pay their hard earned
- 20:41Speaker 1: money and pay for a ticket and show up, and
- 20:45Speaker 1: even the ones that don't, I mean, they're still fans.
- 20:47Speaker 1: They they want to see a good product, and when
- 20:51Speaker 1: they don't get that good product, they get upset, and
- 20:53Speaker 1: it's justifiable. But at the same time, it's still very
- 20:56Speaker 1: early in the season. So give us an idea of
- 21:00Speaker 1: Steve Weatherford, you guys go back for Yeah, two thousand
- 21:05Speaker 1: eight is when he was signed here, uh, towards the
- 21:09Speaker 1: end of that season, and he was here throughout the
- 21:12Speaker 1: next off season, and he's he's a good dude. Uh,
- 21:16Speaker 1: there is holding for you. Yeah. He and I used
- 21:19Speaker 1: to get mistaken for each other in Jacksonville quite a bit,
- 21:23Speaker 1: and now that would not be the case because he
- 21:25Speaker 1: probably weighs forty pounds more than me and it's pure muscle,
- 21:28Speaker 1: so uh. But he played quite a bit in the
- 21:31Speaker 1: league and now he's doing fitness and fitness modeling, crazy
- 21:36Speaker 1: weightlifting and uh, he's got a Super Bowl ring with
- 21:39Speaker 1: the Giants and it's all around good dude. Yeah. And
- 21:42Speaker 1: I played for a number of teams in the league,
- 21:44Speaker 1: and including the New York Jets and Rex Ryan and
- 21:48Speaker 1: that whole crew. And and of course has some really
- 21:51Speaker 1: good Tom Coughlin stories about to Steve. He'll be with
- 21:53Speaker 1: us very very shortly at Weatherford five on Twitter. Uh,
- 21:58Speaker 1: let's get to the specialist watch. This week, the New
- 22:00Speaker 1: York Jets come in with a familiar face at the
- 22:04Speaker 1: kicking position. Jason Myers is the kicker for the Jets,
- 22:08Speaker 1: fourth year out of Maris. We know him here. He's
- 22:12Speaker 1: perfect this year with along of fifty five. Edwards is
- 22:15Speaker 1: a putter from sam Houston State. He's a young fellow
- 22:18Speaker 1: third year, and Thomas Hennessey is the long snapper. But
- 22:22Speaker 1: Jason Meyer's signing he's kicking a ball well this year. Yeah, um,
- 22:26Speaker 1: it's actually, yeah, having a pretty decent year. I think
- 22:29Speaker 1: he's only missed one kick so far, an extra point,
- 22:32Speaker 1: but obviously doing really well on field goals. And he's
- 22:35Speaker 1: up near where he went to college up there in Maris,
- 22:38Speaker 1: so it's good to see him doing well and and
- 22:40Speaker 1: hopefully that continues other than Sunday. But you know, yeah,
- 22:45Speaker 1: it's how you just always root for the Jackson. I
- 22:48Speaker 1: never root for kickers to miss, but unless it's against
- 22:52Speaker 1: my own team, so that's the only reason. Well, I
- 22:55Speaker 1: mean I could see that when you're playing, because it's karma.
- 22:57Speaker 1: You don't want that coming back to you, right you're done.
- 23:01Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I love to see every kicker miss now.
- 23:04Speaker 1: It does doesn't bother except the Jags kicker and the
- 23:07Speaker 1: ones that I know and and and like so and
- 23:10Speaker 1: their punter. This year's having a pretty good years so far.
- 23:14Speaker 1: Uh Lachlin Edwards parents chose Laughlin as his first name,
- 23:19Speaker 1: which is kind of strange. Maybe it's a middle name.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Maybe it's like Mark Laughlin Edwards or something like that,
- 23:26Speaker 1: but very strange name. Having a good season so far
- 23:30Speaker 1: through three games. Forty three point for NET is a
- 23:33Speaker 1: really good NET. We talked about NET last week and
- 23:35Speaker 1: forties kind of the way you want to be. That's
- 23:37Speaker 1: the threshold where you want to be, and forty three
- 23:40Speaker 1: might be probably up there, close to one of the
- 23:44Speaker 1: best in the league through three games. So yeah, I mean,
- 23:47Speaker 1: obviously Jason has a strong leg, so they're gonna have
- 23:50Speaker 1: to account for both of these guys on special teams.
- 23:53Speaker 1: I love it. Do you have it? Our our weekly
- 23:55Speaker 1: specialist watch. John Osier's favorite part of the program. It's
- 23:59Speaker 1: the fleet Watch, and that's where you talk about the
- 24:02Speaker 1: best athletes on the field, and well, at least the
- 24:05Speaker 1: guys that don't get hurt as much. That's that's about it.
- 24:08Speaker 1: The least amount of concussion, the most flexible. Yes, I
- 24:12Speaker 1: mean right, without a doubt. Yeah, I was always one
- 24:15Speaker 1: of the least flexible kickers. There's some guys that are ridiculous,
- 24:19Speaker 1: but the kickers have the strongest hamstrings and groins. So
- 24:24Speaker 1: that's what string coach has always told us. It's true. Yeah,
- 24:28Speaker 1: you better Yeah. If not, you're in trouble. Correct. Let's
- 24:31Speaker 1: take a time out. John Osier right around the corner
- 24:33Speaker 1: to join us, and the Jags and the Jets coming up, John, John,
- 24:39Speaker 1: what's your name, Josh, Jose, It's my name, Jose Scober Perfect.

- 25:41Speaker 1: of a crackling campfire on a cool leavening, you can
- 25:44Speaker 1: sit back and relax. But when it's the sound of
- 25:46Speaker 1: your counters in cabinets smoking and smoldering following a house
- 25:49Speaker 1: fire that's affected your entire kitchen, you need to pick
- 25:52Speaker 1: up the phone and call one eight hundred serf Pro.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Only the cleanup and restoration specialists at serf Pro can
- 25:58Speaker 1: help make fire and utter damage like it never even happened.

- 26:14Speaker 1: Hour continues. J P. Shadrick, Josh Scobee, John Osier right
- 26:20Speaker 1: around the corner, moments away from joining us here. We'll
- 26:24Speaker 1: get to Social Scobe coming out. Let's get to Social
- 26:26Speaker 1: Scobe down. Why not? Why not? Let's knock it out
- 26:29Speaker 1: early today. Plenty of nice questions. Let's start though with
- 26:33Speaker 1: the Josh Scobee tweets of the week. We always start
- 26:37Speaker 1: with some of your you know, I guess humorous. You're
- 26:42Speaker 1: trying to humor and all this. So let's start off
- 26:45Speaker 1: with a number one today from Josh Scoby. There was
- 26:48Speaker 1: a game on Saturday. It was Notre Dame that Wake Forest,
- 26:53Speaker 1: Wake Forest lines up for a field goal, except they
- 26:56Speaker 1: missed the kicker. The kicker was on the side still
- 26:58Speaker 1: warming up. The rest the ten on the special teams
- 27:01Speaker 1: unit are on the field lined up. The holder is
- 27:03Speaker 1: looking around, what the hecks going on? And I think
- 27:05Speaker 1: you've told this story that you told a story similar
- 27:08Speaker 1: to this a week or two ago. You've had this
- 27:10Speaker 1: nightmare before about missing a kick. It's oh, it's an
- 27:14Speaker 1: actual nightmare that I have and every now and again
- 27:17Speaker 1: that for some reason, I have that nightmare. Everyone has
- 27:20Speaker 1: strange nightmares about a random thing. You're naked in school
- 27:24Speaker 1: for some reason, some goofy thing. This is mine. Just
- 27:29Speaker 1: I'm on the sideline, it's fourth down, they're calling field goal,
- 27:33Speaker 1: and my body moves like molasses and I can't get
- 27:37Speaker 1: out there. But apparently with this kid, he's a freshman
- 27:41Speaker 1: and having a decent season before this viral video, but
- 27:46Speaker 1: pretty comical. Uh, he must not have been alerted by
- 27:50Speaker 1: a special teams coach or anyone or paying attention whatsoever.
- 27:55Speaker 1: I've heard other stories where the scoreboard might be wrong
- 27:58Speaker 1: with what down it is, the down marker might be wrong.
- 28:02Speaker 1: I was always really O c D about that, just
- 28:05Speaker 1: making sure I knew what down it was, just in case,
- 28:08Speaker 1: because you don't want something like that to happen, that's
- 28:12Speaker 1: for sure. You just told the story the other week
- 28:14Speaker 1: about having your shoes off and or having a hot
- 28:16Speaker 1: dog in your hand at dog. Yes, that was completely
- 28:19Speaker 1: different scenarios interception, pick six, hot dog in hand. But
- 28:23Speaker 1: this one was there in field goal position and he's
- 28:26Speaker 1: over by the net, warming up and fourth down and
- 28:30Speaker 1: he's still on the side and he doinks it off
- 28:33Speaker 1: the left up right, which makes it that much worse.
- 28:37Speaker 1: But he made a couple of kicks in the second half,
- 28:39Speaker 1: so he he would. They lost the game, but you know,
- 28:42Speaker 1: at least he made a couple. Well. One of my
- 28:44Speaker 1: replies to this tweet was, you can't miss him if
- 28:47Speaker 1: you don't show up, So maybe that was his thought
- 28:49Speaker 1: process that he's not gonna miss but if you don't
- 28:53Speaker 1: show up. It was It was a funny situation for
- 28:57Speaker 1: us to watch. Uh. Next, so sull Scope today, Dustin
- 29:01Speaker 1: carry on Twitter asked you is for that playing? This
- 29:04Speaker 1: is obviously before the game. I'm not the trainer, Dustin.
- 29:06Speaker 1: He says, well, this, this guy tweets me quite a bit,
- 29:10Speaker 1: and he's always got some funny things to say. Um,
- 29:13Speaker 1: but I love when I get these type of answer
- 29:15Speaker 1: or questions. Uh. And that's just the funny things that
- 29:19Speaker 1: that fans can ask that the ones that they actually
- 29:22Speaker 1: think that I might know something about that that I'm
- 29:25Speaker 1: in the locker room or down on the sideline or
- 29:28Speaker 1: in the training room asking if he's gonna go for
- 29:32Speaker 1: maybe for his fantasy team's purposes. So we thought you
- 29:35Speaker 1: knew everything, Josh. I thought he was gonna play last
- 29:39Speaker 1: week and I told people he was probably gonna place.
- 29:41Speaker 1: So that shows how much I know. Alright. Social Scope
- 29:44Speaker 1: beat number three Tiger Woods, arriving at the course in
- 29:49Speaker 1: Atlanta on Sunday, guns out, getting ready for that final
- 29:54Speaker 1: round after a great third round, and yeah, this is
- 29:58Speaker 1: in case you were wondering if is winning today? Straight
- 30:00Speaker 1: out of the weight room, no doubt. Look at Tiger
- 30:02Speaker 1: and he finished the job. Finally he did it was
- 30:05Speaker 1: fun to watch. And yes, that tweet, uh you know
- 30:09Speaker 1: says that he came straight from the gym and did
- 30:12Speaker 1: some bicep curls. Is uh. He is not small. I
- 30:16Speaker 1: think he's forty two forty three summers. Yeah. Yeah, but
- 30:21Speaker 1: he wore that same shirt, which is one of the
- 30:23Speaker 1: goofiest looks I've ever seen him wear. He wore that
- 30:25Speaker 1: undershirt under his normal red and black that he does
- 30:30Speaker 1: and his shirt was a lot bigger and baggy ear
- 30:33Speaker 1: for some reason that day, and whatever, it worked and
- 30:37Speaker 1: he won, so whatever it takes, whatever it takes for
- 30:41Speaker 1: Tiger to win again. It was a great scene though
- 30:43Speaker 1: it was one of the craziest scenes I've I've ever
- 30:45Speaker 1: seen on a golf course. I remember at one point
- 30:49Speaker 1: thinking that he was going to get mobbed and security
- 30:52Speaker 1: was not doing their job. And it just shows you
- 30:54Speaker 1: how much Tiger brings to the scene because Rory McElroy
- 30:58Speaker 1: is trying to go through the crowd and and he
- 31:00Speaker 1: looked like just another golfer and it's Rory McElroy. So
- 31:04Speaker 1: it was fun to watch. Let's continue on the golf
- 31:07Speaker 1: theme here. You ask a reporter who had a photo
- 31:10Speaker 1: of the Ryder Cup team on the airplane steps. Who
- 31:15Speaker 1: thought this was a good idea? He asked, He said,
- 31:17Speaker 1: what are you reaching here for? He's trying to start
- 31:19Speaker 1: some controversy. To this guy, that's just amazing. What what
- 31:22Speaker 1: some reporters and what some people look into and what
- 31:26Speaker 1: they try to find out of a picture. This, this
- 31:29Speaker 1: picture is the US Ryder Cup team coming straight from
- 31:33Speaker 1: the flight from the US landing in London, walking down
- 31:37Speaker 1: the steps and they took this team photo. Theres some
- 31:39Speaker 1: wearing some glasses and some not. And this I guess
- 31:44Speaker 1: golf reporter is trying to find something wrong with this.
- 31:47Speaker 1: And our interaction back and forth was that he said
- 31:50Speaker 1: the European media tries to find everything they can to
- 31:53Speaker 1: stir up controversy this type of week, and and that
- 31:56Speaker 1: this is kind of like what do they call it,
- 31:58Speaker 1: bulletin board material. That's the one that's gonna get them
- 32:01Speaker 1: riled up. Good job, wait to way to go dig
- 32:05Speaker 1: in there. Let's get some fan questions. But it's some
- 32:06Speaker 1: good ones today because you you bashed the fans last week.
- 32:10Speaker 1: You did, you did? You said the questions were not
- 32:13Speaker 1: that good. Oh the yeah, the questions are pretty bad
- 32:15Speaker 1: last week. So we gotta pump this up a little more.
- 32:18Speaker 1: So we've done that and and it worked. The Scobie
- 32:22Speaker 1: fans have responded to they really have a fan question
- 32:25Speaker 1: Number one from Roy Lane the third hashtag social Scobie,
- 32:30Speaker 1: I still want to play Tiger for a hundred thousand
- 32:32Speaker 1: dollars a whole You threaten that back on Twitter? Right,
- 32:36Speaker 1: It was no threat. It was no threat. Uh yeah.
- 32:39Speaker 1: Roy Lang is actually a golf writer in Treeport, Louisiana,
- 32:43Speaker 1: so another golf writer. But no, my reply was a
- 32:48Speaker 1: meme of Danny DeVito shaking his head because that was
- 32:52Speaker 1: obviously not a threat. When I tweeted that the Tiger,
- 32:54Speaker 1: it was a joke. It was a bad joke because
- 32:59Speaker 1: Tiger was down at the time, so I thought, you know,
- 33:01Speaker 1: I could probably beat him step So it was Yeah,
- 33:04Speaker 1: it wasn't very very well thought out by me in
- 33:06Speaker 1: the Chick fil A line getting dinner that night, so
- 33:11Speaker 1: put the phone back in my pocket and took it
- 33:13Speaker 1: back out later, and it was not good. Yeah. I
- 33:16Speaker 1: don't look at the photo a Tiger earlier. I don't
- 33:18Speaker 1: think he's eating Chick fil A anytime lately. I mean
- 33:20Speaker 1: he is, he's locked in Meanwhile, Chick fil A over here,
- 33:24Speaker 1: nothing at all. Fan question number two. Speaking of writers,
- 33:30Speaker 1: I mean you you another writer? We got another writer
- 33:32Speaker 1: coming on shortly with John Ojan. We can get to him.
- 33:34Speaker 1: He looks impatient. Back he does a big g or
- 33:38Speaker 1: is that just big with two gs? Do you wish
- 33:42Speaker 1: you could still be playing for the Jags right now?
- 33:44Speaker 1: Hashtag social Scobie This week, probably not so much. Last week.
- 33:49Speaker 1: Absolutely every week during the season on Thursday when you
- 33:52Speaker 1: get the paycheck, no doubt. But no, there's a reason
- 33:57Speaker 1: I retired. I was ready to be done. So uh,
- 34:00Speaker 1: I'll just say no um to that altogether. You're done.
- 34:05Speaker 1: Once you're done, you're done, Once you're done mentally, once
- 34:07Speaker 1: you're done, you're done. So I'm done mentally. Physically, If
- 34:11Speaker 1: I try to go out and kick, like get back
- 34:14Speaker 1: in leg kicking shape, it would take quite a while.
- 34:17Speaker 1: It's a lot of soreness and probably a lot of struggles. So, um,
- 34:21Speaker 1: what wouldn't don't try to? What would patronize me? What
- 34:25Speaker 1: would it take? Probably six weeks of a full regiment,
- 34:30Speaker 1: and it would take a long time to build up
- 34:32Speaker 1: to that kicking regimen, which is it's like two days
- 34:35Speaker 1: a week it can be very tough. It's a lot
- 34:38Speaker 1: of days in a week. Can we tell you, let's
- 34:41Speaker 1: get do another face on the heads around here as
- 34:46Speaker 1: spedius radius, how does consistency and kicking and punning change
- 34:50Speaker 1: play calling or game plan and if at all the
- 34:54Speaker 1: feel of the team. That's a loaded question. Um, if
- 34:59Speaker 1: you're a kicker or a punter and you're ever thinking
- 35:01Speaker 1: about that, uh, then you're probably not thinking about the
- 35:05Speaker 1: right things. I'm sure the only time it affects play
- 35:07Speaker 1: calling is when a kicker or a punter are performing
- 35:12Speaker 1: very poorly, and then it might change the offensive coordinator
- 35:16Speaker 1: might be a little more aggressive with play calling. Or
- 35:20Speaker 1: if a kicker has a cannon of a leg like
- 35:22Speaker 1: a Justin Tucker, then it could affect it. They don't
- 35:25Speaker 1: feel like they have to get down as far down
- 35:28Speaker 1: the field. So I think that's about it. Yeah, that's
- 35:32Speaker 1: uh never heard that question before, So pretty good question.
- 35:35Speaker 1: It's a good question. I've never heard it pose that way.
- 35:38Speaker 1: Stump Scobi what we'll call the Spedius radius. Yeah, that
- 35:41Speaker 1: guy tweets me a lot too. Yeah, you've got a
- 35:43Speaker 1: lot of regular tweeter do a lot of loyal tweeters.
- 35:46Speaker 1: Over the years. Guys, it stuck with me through the
- 35:48Speaker 1: good times and bad times. So much appreciated. Guy, that's
- 35:52Speaker 1: real nice um. A final fan question, this is a
- 35:56Speaker 1: Blake Bartle's passing chart. Yes it is past along by
- 36:00Speaker 1: Lucas Jewell. Care to comment on this? Was it Blake
- 36:03Speaker 1: not pulling the trigger? The old line in shambles? He says,
- 36:06Speaker 1: those are his words? Or were there not enough deep
- 36:09Speaker 1: routes called hashtag social Scobie. I won't pretend to be
- 36:14Speaker 1: an offensive guru or genius or anyone that knows anything
- 36:18Speaker 1: about an NFL offense, but it just seemed to me
- 36:21Speaker 1: that the play calling was a lot more conservative. There
- 36:25Speaker 1: were a lot more screens and short passes, and as
- 36:29Speaker 1: you can see, one of them was uh completed for
- 36:32Speaker 1: negative nine or ten yards. So that's impressive. So uh,
- 36:37Speaker 1: we were talking about it last week. I feel like
- 36:39Speaker 1: Blake plays well when he plays looser and the playbook
- 36:42Speaker 1: is opened up a little bit more, and it just,
- 36:45Speaker 1: in my opinion, didn't look that way. But that's a
- 36:48Speaker 1: kicker talking, not a a former wide receiver former quarterback
- 36:52Speaker 1: that indeed is a kisser talking. As this kicker is
- 36:55Speaker 1: Josh Goa by the way. You got a little play
- 36:57Speaker 1: on social media last night during the Money Night game.
- 36:58Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw any of that. I
- 37:00Speaker 1: know people adding you when I think the Steelers missed
- 37:03Speaker 1: a kick or something. Oh, it's every Steeler game that's
- 37:05Speaker 1: ever played. Now, if there's a made kick or a
- 37:08Speaker 1: miss kick, I get hammered on there from from their
- 37:11Speaker 1: fan base and they're passionate, crazy, loyal fans, and multiply
- 37:18Speaker 1: that by a thousand on social media. Oh I didn't.
- 37:20Speaker 1: I could have brought some of those in today, but
- 37:24Speaker 1: you probably have to blur out a few of those
- 37:27Speaker 1: those social Scope. We get your questions in again next week.
- 37:30Speaker 1: Here's the hashtag why not social scob hashtag social scobey.
- 37:35Speaker 1: Another social fellow is going to join us here in

- 39:14Speaker 1: Josh Scoby, Senior writer, John Ozier joins us Hi. John
- 39:20Speaker 1: your microphone is not on. That's our Yeah, there are beef,
- 39:25Speaker 1: can you hear me? Not only did I have to
- 39:29Speaker 1: stand over there for ten minutes ten minutes, Jack, I
- 39:34Speaker 1: had to listen to you talk about your regime. You're
- 39:38Speaker 1: kicking regime. Okay, well we'll just start there is it
- 39:43Speaker 1: regiment regimen, the regime's this, this whole thing. But the
- 39:50Speaker 1: regiment regiment six like two or three days a week
- 39:54Speaker 1: of kicking. So alright, A, you're gonna make it. I
- 39:59Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to make it now, that's for sure.
- 40:01Speaker 1: That's for sure. Two whole days a week. John, it's
- 40:06Speaker 1: like three, yeah, maybe three. Here in the season it
- 40:09Speaker 1: was three. Guys. They have a Thursdays you get paid. Yes,
- 40:12Speaker 1: that was my favorite favorite day. Pay check clears. That's
- 40:16Speaker 1: a good day. Um, we're putting this Titans game to bed, John, Sure,
- 40:20Speaker 1: thank goodness. Right, And I mean it is not a
- 40:22Speaker 1: pretty one to look but look ahead, Uh, Wednesday's look
- 40:26Speaker 1: ahead day. In the other's No, there's a twenty four
- 40:30Speaker 1: hour rule in the ozone unfortunates about about sixty hours
- 40:33Speaker 1: you live with a loss. Yeah, it's been tough. I
- 40:35Speaker 1: mean it's uh, it's it's a loss that bothered and
- 40:38Speaker 1: shocked fans. I didn't necessarily shock me. I didn't say
- 40:42Speaker 1: bothered me that much. I think you know, at the
- 40:44Speaker 1: course of the NFL season, you're gonna have some games,
- 40:47Speaker 1: even if you're a really good team that you know
- 40:52Speaker 1: you don't win and if you play poorly, and the
- 40:55Speaker 1: whole thing is, you don't be doing this in December.
- 40:57Speaker 1: But it's to me, it's out of comment at all
- 41:00Speaker 1: for teams that wind up very very good to have
- 41:04Speaker 1: a stinker and Sunday with a stinker. Yeah, it was,
- 41:07Speaker 1: but you kind of had a feeling about this week.
- 41:10Speaker 1: A lot of people were calling for a blowout. I
- 41:12Speaker 1: was one of the guilty parties there, and I got
- 41:18Speaker 1: the nine part right, just not the thirty eight. I
- 41:20Speaker 1: thought the offense would do a little something, but it
- 41:22Speaker 1: just didn't happen. But you didn't have that feel. It was.
- 41:25Speaker 1: You had an idea would be a kind of a
- 41:27Speaker 1: low scoring, grind it out, get them the fourth quarter
- 41:31Speaker 1: kind of game. The Titans are are one of those
- 41:33Speaker 1: teams that because they often look clunky on offense. Even
- 41:37Speaker 1: last year during the playoffs, member they had their win,
- 41:41Speaker 1: but they were down twenty two to three. Or twenty
- 41:43Speaker 1: one to three and came back. And they came back
- 41:44Speaker 1: as Mariotta had to pass, it bounced into the air
- 41:47Speaker 1: and he caught it. Ye it. There's a tendency to
- 41:51Speaker 1: discount teams that a run on offense, and I sort
- 41:56Speaker 1: of get sneaky first down the way they do, but
- 41:58Speaker 1: play really good defense. They had played that way against
- 42:02Speaker 1: this team twice last season. They had beaten him twice.
- 42:05Speaker 1: I still haven't seen the Jaguars score a meaningful touchdown
- 42:08Speaker 1: offensively against this team since December, if she hasn't sixteen,
- 42:11Speaker 1: So that's what you know. I kept saying. I wanted
- 42:15Speaker 1: to see the Jaguars score touchdown in the first half,
- 42:17Speaker 1: get a little breathing room, start to feel like they
- 42:20Speaker 1: could do it, and until they did, I was gonna
- 42:22Speaker 1: be concerned. And they never did it. Yeah, it was.
- 42:25Speaker 1: It was not a fun game to watch, that's for sure.
- 42:27Speaker 1: And we all had the predictions and optimism. I mean,
- 42:34Speaker 1: I felt like it was going to be a low
- 42:35Speaker 1: scoring game just because of how the teams were built.
- 42:38Speaker 1: I expected that Jaguars to win. But at the same time,
- 42:41Speaker 1: you had to be realistic about it because not even
- 42:44Speaker 1: a year removed from losing to the team twice and
- 42:48Speaker 1: a team that won a playoff game, So it's not
- 42:51Speaker 1: that's surprising. That's why I don't think people should really
- 42:55Speaker 1: hit the panic button right now, because the team was
- 42:58Speaker 1: a good team last year and they could be a
- 43:00Speaker 1: good team this year. I want to be Here's the
- 43:02Speaker 1: biggest reason I take the panic button. You came into
- 43:07Speaker 1: this season believing that the Jaguars were going to be really,
- 43:10Speaker 1: really good. Why Well, for the play the defense. They
- 43:16Speaker 1: have done that at a high level the first three games.
- 43:19Speaker 1: They have yet to allow a touchdown when they were
- 43:21Speaker 1: leading by less than ten against the Giants, against the Patriots,
- 43:24Speaker 1: they were up by ten when they allowed touchdowns. They
- 43:27Speaker 1: didn't allow one the other day. This team was playing
- 43:29Speaker 1: really well defensively. If they stay healthy, I see no
- 43:32Speaker 1: reason why that won't change. To me. If they continue
- 43:35Speaker 1: to play at that level, they will be in every game.
- 43:38Speaker 1: They're not gonna have thirteen more clunkers offensively the way
- 43:42Speaker 1: they did the other day. I think they'll blow some
- 43:44Speaker 1: teams out the way they did last year because their
- 43:46Speaker 1: defense will create turnovers. They'll create those landslide type games
- 43:50Speaker 1: we saw last year. I think, I think think they'll
- 43:52Speaker 1: get a few of those. I think that. I think
- 43:54Speaker 1: they'll probably lose some that are close because the offense
- 43:57Speaker 1: is still figuring out and it's not insistent. But overall,
- 44:02Speaker 1: if they're in games like they were the other day,
- 44:04Speaker 1: they're gonna win a lot of those kind of games.
- 44:06Speaker 1: I still think they win twelve, And I still think
- 44:07Speaker 1: the whole key is going to be can they figure
- 44:10Speaker 1: out how to get three or four consistent games in
- 44:12Speaker 1: the postseason? Offensively? They got a couple of last year.
- 44:15Speaker 1: They they got enough, I think to get to the
- 44:18Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Have they not let down in the fourth
- 44:19Speaker 1: quarter defensively? Um So, I think it's still out there,
- 44:24Speaker 1: and I think the key is going to be what
- 44:26Speaker 1: can they figure out can they stay healthy enough offensively
- 44:30Speaker 1: and get consistent enough in the playoffs to do it?
- 44:32Speaker 1: New York Jets coming up next, Sam Donald show coming
- 44:36Speaker 1: to town, rookie quarterback, And I think this is a
- 44:41Speaker 1: game that bodes a lot better for the Jaguars than
- 44:43Speaker 1: the other day because I don't think Donald is as
- 44:48Speaker 1: experienced and savvy. He's healthier than Mariota certainly, but Mariota
- 44:52Speaker 1: gives this team problems because he knows how to create
- 44:57Speaker 1: they stay in a third manageable and then he creates
- 45:00Speaker 1: first downs with his legs and with plays that appeared junkie.
- 45:04Speaker 1: But a lot of that is because he's experienced now,
- 45:07Speaker 1: he knows how to do that. I don't know that
- 45:10Speaker 1: the Jets right now, because of Donald's youth, are as
- 45:14Speaker 1: are as savvy at doing the things that bothered the Jaguars.
- 45:18Speaker 1: M yeah, I'd like that. I feel much better about
- 45:24Speaker 1: the Titans are the only team that I have that
- 45:27Speaker 1: queasy feeling about against this team because they just know
- 45:30Speaker 1: how to play him now. This weekend the Jets. I mean,
- 45:35Speaker 1: the Jaguars can't let the Jets come in here and run.
- 45:38Speaker 1: They ran for like two fifty six last year. If
- 45:40Speaker 1: that happens to Jaguars are gonna lose. But this is
- 45:42Speaker 1: a better run defense, and it was gonna play the
- 45:44Speaker 1: Jets last year. I think they'll hold them. You know,
- 45:48Speaker 1: in in the low hundreds is a team that wants
- 45:50Speaker 1: to run, So they'll figure out a way to run some.
- 45:52Speaker 1: But I don't think it'll get away from him. I
- 45:53Speaker 1: think they'll stop the run enough to pressure Sam Donald
- 45:56Speaker 1: into mistakes that those freak runs last year, they the
- 46:00Speaker 1: early one he wasn't touched down. You know, I just
- 46:02Speaker 1: touch him. Remember screaming that when that play happened, my face.
- 46:07Speaker 1: Keep doing this for a while, just kind of like
- 46:09Speaker 1: you're my wife. Yes, yeah, I just move on from that. Yeah,
- 46:15Speaker 1: I love it. John. What do you got coming up
- 46:17Speaker 1: this week? What do we got here for you? Uh? Well, uh,

- 47:01Speaker 1: Place and they need to breathe. October two. Ticket to
- 47:03Speaker 1: Daily's Place dot Com. We go to the phone lines
- 47:07Speaker 1: now and welcome in our guests today. Former NFL putter,
- 47:10Speaker 1: former Jaguar for a cup of coffee or two. Steve
- 47:14Speaker 1: Wilerford is with us. Steve, what's up? How are you? Yeah,
- 47:18Speaker 1: key man, I'll tell you what, Man, You've got one
- 47:20Speaker 1: heck of a radio voice. Man, I'm trying to hear
- 47:22Speaker 1: Josh Scoby's radio voice. Do you have one? Josh? Say
- 47:25Speaker 1: it again, Do you have a radio voice? I don't.
- 47:29Speaker 1: I have my normal voice. I have a lot of
- 47:31Speaker 1: voices the people that I can mimic and make fun of,
- 47:35Speaker 1: including yours, but I don't. I'm still working on my
- 47:38Speaker 1: radio voice and enunciating and saying things the way that
- 47:43Speaker 1: you need to on the radio. Well, it makes me
- 47:45Speaker 1: feel good, Josh, because you're so good at so many
- 47:50Speaker 1: different things. The fact that I have a good radio
- 47:52Speaker 1: voice and yours is just normal makes me feel a
- 47:55Speaker 1: little bit better about myself. Well, I appreciate I'm trying
- 47:59Speaker 1: to emulate you that one, because people used to mistake
- 48:02Speaker 1: us for the same person whenever you were here in Jacksonville,
- 48:05Speaker 1: which now if they did that it would be quite
- 48:07Speaker 1: a bit different. I can't tell you how many Josh
- 48:10Speaker 1: Scobie autographs I did during my You better not gotten
- 48:15Speaker 1: paid for any of them, and I was so offended.
- 48:18Speaker 1: I'm like my arms are at least one inch bigger
- 48:20Speaker 1: than now. They're about a foot bigger than Steve. What
- 48:25Speaker 1: do you're into. You have a website, you're you've got
- 48:29Speaker 1: the whole fitness thing going on. Now, you're you're on
- 48:32Speaker 1: magazine covers. I mean, you've, you've you're always in good shape.
- 48:37Speaker 1: But this is taking it to a different level right now, Steve. Yeah,
- 48:41Speaker 1: you know what, j P. I have always been extraordinarily
- 48:45Speaker 1: um fascinated by the human body and you know, unlocking
- 48:48Speaker 1: genetic potential and that, honestly, that's the only reason I
- 48:51Speaker 1: ever made it into professional sports at all. I mean
- 48:54Speaker 1: I always had a degree of talent, but I was
- 48:56Speaker 1: always the the try hard guy that came early, stayed late.
- 49:00Speaker 1: I mean I had an opportunity to play with Josh
- 49:02Speaker 1: for a while and uh, you know, and playing Jacksonville
- 49:05Speaker 1: Stadium and get to experience that franchise, and it was
- 49:08Speaker 1: it was so awesome. But to be able to take
- 49:10Speaker 1: that passion and have something that honestly that that doesn't
- 49:13Speaker 1: get me out of bed anymore. It doesn't get me
- 49:16Speaker 1: out of bed in the morning. It pulls me out
- 49:18Speaker 1: of bed in the morning. Man. I absolutely love being
- 49:21Speaker 1: able to encourage people and to inspire people to live
- 49:24Speaker 1: a happier, healthier, more well adjusted life, man, because it
- 49:27Speaker 1: is so freaking easy to get stuck into like what
- 49:31Speaker 1: you have to do every single day, and not not
- 49:34Speaker 1: enough people realize that they get to happen to life.
- 49:38Speaker 1: They don't have to sit back and let life happen
- 49:40Speaker 1: to them. And it really, at the end of the day, man,
- 49:42Speaker 1: it starts with waking up every single day and having
- 49:45Speaker 1: a purpose. And and for me, one of the things
- 49:47Speaker 1: that gets my engine running and really just inspires me
- 49:50Speaker 1: to live life because we only have a finite amount
- 49:52Speaker 1: of time on this earth, is is starting it with
- 49:56Speaker 1: taking care of myself and the self care and whether
- 49:58Speaker 1: that's you know, your nutrition, or or it's training, or
- 50:01Speaker 1: it's just having a purpose of where you want to
- 50:03Speaker 1: go with life and how you want to get there.
- 50:05Speaker 1: And you know, one of the greatest blessings that we
- 50:07Speaker 1: have in this life is our body and it's got
- 50:10Speaker 1: to carry us through the next you know, one years
- 50:13Speaker 1: of life, you know, from the time that we're born,
- 50:14Speaker 1: and not enough people view it that way. You know,
- 50:17Speaker 1: if I told you I was gonna buy you your
- 50:19Speaker 1: dream car tomorrow, but the only catches that's the only
- 50:22Speaker 1: car that you're gonna have for the rest of your life.
- 50:24Speaker 1: You're gonna wash, if you're gonna wax it, You're gonna
- 50:26Speaker 1: balance the tires. You're gonna put only the greatest fuel
- 50:28Speaker 1: that you can inside of that car because you know
- 50:30Speaker 1: that that's gonna last you for the next you know,
- 50:32Speaker 1: sixty seventy eighty years of your life. But people don't
- 50:36Speaker 1: treat it that way. You know, people put all this
- 50:37Speaker 1: garbage in their body, they don't exercise their quote unquote
- 50:40Speaker 1: their car. And then people are wondering why, you know,
- 50:43Speaker 1: anxiety is on the rise, depression is on the rise,
- 50:45Speaker 1: and why people are having trouble getting inspired to live life.
- 50:49Speaker 1: It's because they're not taking care of the vehicle that's
- 50:51Speaker 1: supposed to get them to where they want to go.
- 50:53Speaker 1: We're feeling really guilty right now, is what we're feeling that, Steve. Yeah,
- 50:57Speaker 1: we're a double decker pizza are right now. So we're
- 51:02Speaker 1: gonna run in tonight. Listen. I'm not gonna sit here
- 51:05Speaker 1: and tell you I live like a I live like
- 51:07Speaker 1: a monk man, but I I practiced the you know,
- 51:10Speaker 1: I'm eating eight percent of my meals are really clean, meals,
- 51:13Speaker 1: they're bounced, You're getting plenty of vegetables, etcetera, etcetera. But
- 51:16Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, man, I have some cold beers
- 51:18Speaker 1: and some pieces and some burgers. Tent of the time.
- 51:21Speaker 1: I enjoy life too. I like to hear that because, yeah,
- 51:23Speaker 1: that's that's what you and I like to do whenever
- 51:25Speaker 1: you were here. So that makes me feel a little
- 51:27Speaker 1: bit better about myself. So, uh, we appreciate you coming
- 51:31Speaker 1: on with us, but we wanted to talk to you
- 51:33Speaker 1: about your time with the Jets because each week we'd
- 51:36Speaker 1: like to bring someone on that played with the team
- 51:39Speaker 1: that we're currently playing this week. So, uh, do you
- 51:42Speaker 1: have some fond memories some uh, some things that you
- 51:45Speaker 1: did in New York with the Jets, Uh that you
- 51:49Speaker 1: can tell us about. Well, I mean there's a lot
- 51:52Speaker 1: of things that I can't tell you about, but we'll
- 51:54Speaker 1: start with the things that I can tell you about. Um.
- 51:57Speaker 1: You know, I played there for two for two full
- 51:59Speaker 1: seasons two thousand nine, two thousand and ten, and the
- 52:02Speaker 1: two years that I spent there were with Rex Ryan.
- 52:05Speaker 1: It was his first two years as the head coach there.
- 52:07Speaker 1: His most successful two years as a head coach there
- 52:10Speaker 1: we had a rookie quarterback in Mark Sanchez. We went
- 52:12Speaker 1: to the a f C Championship Game two years in
- 52:14Speaker 1: a row, and the culture for the New York Jets
- 52:17Speaker 1: was really starting to make a paradigm shift to where
- 52:20Speaker 1: we weren't the Jets weren't considered like the sister school
- 52:24Speaker 1: of the New York sports teams, you know, because the
- 52:26Speaker 1: Giants had always had you know, tons of of Super
- 52:29Speaker 1: Bowls in the you know, in the era of the
- 52:31Speaker 1: two thousands and two thousand and seven and etcetera, etcetera.
- 52:35Speaker 1: They had very successful teams, They had a franchise quarterback,
- 52:37Speaker 1: and so going there, there was a lot of excitement
- 52:40Speaker 1: going through the FC Championship Game two years in a row,
- 52:43Speaker 1: and they had probably, i mean, this is my own
- 52:45Speaker 1: personal opinion, the most entertaining head coach that possibly maybe
- 52:50Speaker 1: has ever been in the NFL. And he was even
- 52:52Speaker 1: that much more fun to be able to go to
- 52:55Speaker 1: war with and compete with as much as you can
- 52:57Speaker 1: go to war and compete as a punter. He just
- 52:59Speaker 1: made coming to work a lot of fun and he
- 53:02Speaker 1: he always he would jump on a grenade for his players,
- 53:05Speaker 1: and he was a lot of fun to play with
- 53:07Speaker 1: So those are those two seasons and that was kind
- 53:09Speaker 1: of like the paradigm shift was like, well, maybe the
- 53:11Speaker 1: New York Jets are like for real now, and they
- 53:13Speaker 1: took a little bit of a nose dive, um, you know,
- 53:16Speaker 1: after those first two years. But the time that I
- 53:19Speaker 1: really want to talk to you guys about was in
- 53:21Speaker 1: two thousand and fifteen. I had just retired and I
- 53:26Speaker 1: was doing an ESPN radio show and I was exercising
- 53:29Speaker 1: my radio voice, and uh, I had just got I
- 53:33Speaker 1: was in Manhattan ESPN Radio and I had just got
- 53:36Speaker 1: done previewing. It was on Saturday, about noon. I just
- 53:39Speaker 1: got done previewing the New York New England Patriots and
- 53:42Speaker 1: the New York Jets upcoming game, which is gonna be
- 53:45Speaker 1: the next day. And I remember talking about how awesome
- 53:48Speaker 1: the New York Jet defense was and probably had so
- 53:50Speaker 1: many playmakers and Mohammed Wilkerson and Darrell read This and
- 53:54Speaker 1: Calvin Tase and Bart Scott and all the electric defensive
- 53:57Speaker 1: players that they had. And then I shipped it to
- 53:59Speaker 1: the up and I'm like, you know, they don't have
- 54:01Speaker 1: a really a lot to write home to mom about.
- 54:04Speaker 1: Have you ever seen Ryan Fitzpatrick throw the ball over
- 54:07Speaker 1: forty yards. It's absolutely heinous. And then we went to
- 54:09Speaker 1: commercial break. My phone rings and I look at it
- 54:12Speaker 1: and it's the Jets front office. I'm like, oh, crap,
- 54:14Speaker 1: what did I say? And so I answered the phone
- 54:17Speaker 1: during the commercial break and it's Mike mccaguet. I think
- 54:20Speaker 1: that's how you see his name. It was the GM
- 54:22Speaker 1: for the Jets. And he calls me. He's like, hey, Steve,
- 54:24Speaker 1: how are you doing where yet? And I'm like, oh,
- 54:26Speaker 1: I'm in New York. I'm you know, doing my radio show.
- 54:28Speaker 1: He's like, hey, is there any chance you could get
- 54:30Speaker 1: up to Foxborough tomorrow for the Jets game? And I'm
- 54:33Speaker 1: like thinking in my head, I'm like, uh, I wonder
- 54:35Speaker 1: if this guy wants me to do like the pregame
- 54:37Speaker 1: or the postgame show or something. My Daddy's like, yeah,
- 54:40Speaker 1: our putner seems to have an infection in his cap
- 54:42Speaker 1: and we're wondering if maybe you can play tomorrow. I'm
- 54:45Speaker 1: thinking to myself that I haven't touched the football in
- 54:48Speaker 1: two months. I mean, granted, my arms are getting bigger,
- 54:51Speaker 1: but I haven't touched the football in two months. And
- 54:53Speaker 1: this wants me to play in a game tomorrow, and
- 54:55Speaker 1: I'm like, uh, okay, and so I up calling my wife.
- 55:00Speaker 1: As soon as I got off the phone with him.
- 55:01Speaker 1: I'm like, Hey, they I'm gonna go up to foxborow
- 55:03Speaker 1: tomorrow from the New England game. Can you give me
- 55:05Speaker 1: a favor and track down my cleat? I'm like, And
- 55:08Speaker 1: she's thinking to herself, track down your cleets? Where what
- 55:11Speaker 1: are you talking about? And I'm like, yeah, they want
- 55:13Speaker 1: me to play in the game tomorrow. So my wife
- 55:14Speaker 1: is rummaging through the garage trying to find my cleats,
- 55:18Speaker 1: and uh, I run home, I throw on a suit,
- 55:21Speaker 1: I grabbed my cleets, I drive a swarm park new Jersey.
- 55:23Speaker 1: I jump on the team plane and I'm like introducing
- 55:26Speaker 1: myself to all my new teammates. And I'm not kidding
- 55:28Speaker 1: you what I say this, Josh. They were stitching my
- 55:31Speaker 1: number on my jersey in the locker room in Foxboro,
- 55:36Speaker 1: like forty five minutes before the game. I didn't even
- 55:38Speaker 1: have a jersey to warm up in because you were
- 55:40Speaker 1: chill trying to figure out like what numbers that they
- 55:43Speaker 1: could find to put on a jersey that would actually
- 55:45Speaker 1: fit me. I was learning somebody else's pads. I was
- 55:47Speaker 1: lucky enough to find my own cleets, and I felt
- 55:50Speaker 1: really embarrassed, and I took home one hundred and four
- 55:53Speaker 1: thousand dollars for like four high school caliber and I
- 56:00Speaker 1: think I think my I think my first punt was
- 56:03Speaker 1: maybe thirty nine yards and I think it bounced about
- 56:06Speaker 1: five yards and it was not my strongest showing um.
- 56:12Speaker 1: But I was lucky that they let that check that
- 56:14Speaker 1: that check clear because it was It was kind of
- 56:17Speaker 1: an embarrassing moment for me, but you kind of get
- 56:19Speaker 1: what you kind of get what you paid for. He didn't.
- 56:21Speaker 1: I think I had maybe about fifteen punts and warmups
- 56:25Speaker 1: before the game because the coach was like really nervous.
- 56:27Speaker 1: He's like, well, don't punch too much before the game
- 56:29Speaker 1: because we don't want to wear your leg out. I'm like, why,
- 56:31Speaker 1: I kind of need to punt a little bit because
- 56:33Speaker 1: I haven't done this in about sixty days and you
- 56:35Speaker 1: want me to do this in your biggest game of
- 56:37Speaker 1: the year. And I haven't even touched the football or
- 56:40Speaker 1: even thought about cunching the football for two months. And
- 56:44Speaker 1: Todd Bowles was he couldn't have been cooler. He was like, hey, man,
- 56:47Speaker 1: I know you're kind of like a little bit out
- 56:49Speaker 1: of out of staying and you've never caught a snap
- 56:52Speaker 1: from this long snapper, and you've never you know, these
- 56:54Speaker 1: guys have never blocked or protected for you, and you
- 56:57Speaker 1: don't know what our schemes are. And I'm like, Todd,
- 57:00Speaker 1: it's not that big a deal, man. You snap me
- 57:02Speaker 1: the ball, I punt it. You guys go tackle him.
- 57:04Speaker 1: Let's get this thing done. And I was like super confident.
- 57:06Speaker 1: And then when I actually got out there in the game,
- 57:08Speaker 1: I'm like, this, it's actually a lot harder than what
- 57:10Speaker 1: I remember it being. That's a fantastic story. I have
- 57:15Speaker 1: a question for you. You mentioned your time with Rex Ryan.
- 57:19Speaker 1: You go from Rex Ryan with the Jets to Tom
- 57:22Speaker 1: Coughlin of the Giants. How different personality of those two guys.
- 57:28Speaker 1: It was like going It was like going from the
- 57:30Speaker 1: crazy uncle that you really shouldn't hang out with because
- 57:34Speaker 1: he bought you beer and maybe he'd bought you a
- 57:36Speaker 1: little baggy of cannabis when you know you're not supposed
- 57:39Speaker 1: to to going to playing for like Bob Knight. Um,
- 57:44Speaker 1: But there's you know, I mean, it just goes to
- 57:46Speaker 1: show you you you can win a million different ways.
- 57:50Speaker 1: I had the most regimented, rigorous, um disciplinarian coach, which
- 57:57Speaker 1: is honestly, he's still my hero to this day. And
- 58:01Speaker 1: we were able to win a Super Bowl with him,
- 58:02Speaker 1: and then obviously you win a Super Bowl, you were
- 58:04Speaker 1: able to go to the NFC Championship Game. But the
- 58:06Speaker 1: two previous seasons to that, so I will go two
- 58:09Speaker 1: ten playing with the Jets, we go to the FC
- 58:11Speaker 1: Championship Game twice and lose them and then the next
- 58:14Speaker 1: year my contracts up, I end up going to the
- 58:17Speaker 1: New York Giants, the same stadium, different coach, same result,
- 58:22Speaker 1: except we were able to win the championship game then
- 58:24Speaker 1: go to the Super Bowl. And it was just a
- 58:27Speaker 1: complete different culture shift from the expectations of coach the
- 58:32Speaker 1: player player to coach and just the culture in the
- 58:35Speaker 1: locker room. It was the culture in the locker room
- 58:36Speaker 1: with Rex was all about, you know, let's let's govern
- 58:40Speaker 1: from within. Our locker room was like Luxembourg, you know.
- 58:42Speaker 1: You the team was the discipline areas for the team.
- 58:47Speaker 1: And I think that the biggest problem that Rex Ryan
- 58:50Speaker 1: had as a coach was after that two thousand and
- 58:54Speaker 1: ten season, he let the leaders in the locker room
- 58:57Speaker 1: he let them go in free agency, and he didn't
- 59:01Speaker 1: He didn't provide enough leadership and accountability coming from the
- 59:05Speaker 1: top and trickling down. He let that permeate from the
- 59:08Speaker 1: locker room and then permeate out through the locker room.
- 59:12Speaker 1: And then when you lost those leaders that were in
- 59:13Speaker 1: the locker room, that's when that team really started to
- 59:15Speaker 1: dissolve as a successful franchise. And Tom Coughlin is such
- 59:20Speaker 1: a control, peak control freak, and I mean that in
- 59:23Speaker 1: the best way possible. He left no stone unturned. Nobody
- 59:26Speaker 1: was ever going to out prepare him, and it it
- 59:29Speaker 1: went to show you in games when he would play
- 59:32Speaker 1: some of the greatest minds that's ever coached football, and
- 59:34Speaker 1: Bill Bell, it's like he was able to beat him
- 59:36Speaker 1: the two times that he played him in the Super
- 59:38Speaker 1: Bowl and h It was just a great experience to
- 59:40Speaker 1: be able to to be on both of those teams
- 59:44Speaker 1: and to see that there's not just one way to
- 59:46Speaker 1: win football games. You know, you can do it a
- 59:48Speaker 1: lot of different ways. But with consistency, Tom Coughlin, with
- 59:51Speaker 1: what he's done in Jacksonville and the personnel that he's
- 59:54Speaker 1: put together, and not to take anything away from Doug Morone.
- 59:57Speaker 1: But there's a culture change that happened when Tom up
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: and went down to Jacksonville. And I could not be
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: more proud to say I'm at Jacksonville fan. And I'm
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: not saying this just pandering to you guys on this show.
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: Wherever Colin go, wherever Coflin goes, I will be I
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: will be a fan of that team unless he goes
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: to Philadelphia. I agree with that. Well, we're the Jacksonville
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: fans and community and team is sure glad to have
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: have Coughlin back here. So it's it's cool to hear
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: those stories from you. And uh, we appreciate you, Steve
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: for coming on, Josh. You are the most talented kicker
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: I have ever played with in my life. Man. And
