  Speaker 1: Jack Wars Jack Jack Warris, did you go Jaguars Drive Time?
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Bryan Sex steps John? Actually, Jaguars Drive Time starts right now.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Welcome in Jaguars Drive Time Wednesday Morning, brought to you
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: by the Duval Motor Company Company. A nice, easy Wednesday
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: morning here in Jacksonville, as we get ready for Week
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: two heading to Nashville, Tennessee this week in a take
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: on the Titans, as I bring in Brian Sexton and
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: John Osier, my lovely co host this morning, I will
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: admit with a ten ten kickoff Monday night, Brian and John,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I could not stay awake for that game, but I
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: watched the highlight Johnna, A pretty sloppy game. Doesn't look
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: like we miss much, but the Titans did get the win.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Fagged a playoff team May the a C Championship game.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: They could have lost that game in a number of ways.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: They figured out a way to win as a result.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: It's want to know versus want to know. Let's go.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I haven't seen the second half of
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: a prime time game that started after eight o'clock in
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: years to be And that's just the way it goes
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: when you get to a certain point in life. That's
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: why there's NFL game pass and I haven't really looked
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: at the Titans, but I'm going to today. However, John,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you know this to be true. It doesn't matter who
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the coaches, doesn't matter who the quarterback is. Really the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Titans personality hasn't changed in twenty years. Jaguars have not
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: won in Nashville since two thousand thirteen, seven years ago.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: We'll see if they can get it done this Sunday
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: as we get into big things, and Big Thing one
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: is a big challenge ahead. We talked about that sloppy
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: game on Monday against the Broncos that the Titans were
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: still able to win, but Derrick Henry, their power running back,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: still managed to get over a hundred rushing yards Monday night.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to bring up the numbers from
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: last season. Boot time must in Tennessee a hundred and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: fifty nine yards and two touchdowns the Jaguars allowed against
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the Titans when they played in Nashville. However, the Jaguars
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: defense definitely is improving. They've only seen eighty eight rushing
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: yards last weekend against the Poles, so we'll see what
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: happens against Definitely a guy who is extremely talented, Derrick Henry.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Big thing too is do it again. Gardner Minshew's stats.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: We talked about it. We're unreal against the Colts, but
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: now that we're looking back at the game, there was
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: definitely some missed opportunities there against the Colts, and we'll
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: see if he can take advantage of it on Sunday.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Now he has to do it in a place in Nashville,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Tennessee that he's never played before. He beat the Titans
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: at home. Nick Foles was the quarterback last season when
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: they went to Nashville, So we'll see what happens. Maybe
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew is the difference this season in Tennessee. And finally,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Big Thing three is a road trip, the first away
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: game and the COVID nineteen era. What makes this different
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: these road games during a COVID nineteen pandemic, Well, everything
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: is different. Travel party cut down severely, which is why
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you will not see myself, John Osier or Brian Sexton
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: at away games this season. Anyone that travels with the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: team is not allowed to leave the hotel at all,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: must stay in the hotel the entire time. If you
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: were at an away game, and the team now carries
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: seven buses to the airport and back to try to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: make sure everyone has their own rows. So, Brian Sexton,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I'll start with you, this is going to be your
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: first away game that you will not be present as
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a Jacksonville Jaguar. John Osier, you as well will not
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: be traveling with the team, and that is definitely different
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: for you. How is it going to impact your work?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: And I think for everyone, I think we all can
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: expect it's going to just look different for everyone. Well,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: apparently affected Brian. He went on strike and wouldn't talk
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: about I mean it was that's a blow. So uh,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it's it's definitely different, you know. I mean as an
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: inside football how it affects you as a writer. You're
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: watching off TV and you don't quite get the feel
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: for the game. But it's been different so far anyway,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Schlynn from doing interviews, you know it, Brian knows it.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You know, it's been all zoom calls, which takes you
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a little bit away from the team. There's not the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: quote intimate feeling of covering the team, of talking to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: players getting to know them. So it's different. But as
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I've told people when discussing this, before it's COVID nineteen.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: It's a different world this year. I think people who
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: are covering working around the NFL try to figure out
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a way to do it your best until you get
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: somewhere back to normal, and fans will still learn about
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the game from watching our coverage. So I can't speak
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that much to how the team is going to react,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: but that's how we'll react, absolutely, and the team is
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: definitely going to be impacted by this. The craziest thing
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I was reading is that, yes, you have to stay
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: inside the team hotel, which is obviously a big deal
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: in itself, but you can't even go to the restaurant
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: inside the team hotel. All meals are still provided by
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars. I mean, you can't go to the hotel gym.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: So thank goodness we're not traveling because the pool was
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: my favorite part about traveling. And it's crazy that this
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: is how it's impacting at the away games, is that
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: everything is so secluded, trying to keep it as normal
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: as you can, like you were still in Jacksonville. Well
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it has to be. I mean, knock on woods. So far,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: so good. You haven't heard anything from last week's travel
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: around the league. Yet about they're being problems. It's all
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: about keeping the team the bubble as bubble delicious if
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you will shlnt as possible, showing that's the whole idea,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and so far, so good. If that's what it takes
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: to get a season, and that's what it takes, bubble delicious,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: What in the world did you plan on that? Oh?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I don't plan anything. It's all up here. All right,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: let's go to a big thing too. So now that
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: we're a couple of days removed from Sunday's game against
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the Colts, everyone was super impressed with Gardner minshew stats,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and they should be. But the more I'm watching, the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: more I'm listening to people around the country talking about
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: this game, They're saying, yeah, his stats are super impressive,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: but he also missed some opportunities. And the reason his
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: stats were so impressive there was a lot of dinking
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and duncan. It was the first time we saw dig
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Rudin's offensive system. So John, I guess do you have
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: a problem with that? People seem to have an issue
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that he wasn't taking more shots down field, but hey,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: it worked. When analyzing the game, we're trying to as
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: quickly as you do on a Sunday night. That stood
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: out when you're nineteen of twenty four hundred and seventy three,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: it probably means that you didn't take a lot of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: chances downfield. You didn't have a lot of yards downfield.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: But from watching what I could, it appeared that the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Colts were taking a lot of the deep stuff away. Remember,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Gardener is a very accurate deep passer. Uh in training camp,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of the things he did well was though
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: in deep the chart. So the Colts took that away
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and the game plan and Gardner took what was there
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: to a very effective rate. If if the Titans this
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: week they're more of a man to man team, If
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: they play man to man and there are shots down field,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Gardener is not afraid to take those shots. The arm
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: strength thing is not about being able to hit a
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: deep pass. The arm strength thing is it to be
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: able to drive the ball to certain spots on certain throws.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: But it's not about the long ball. If if they
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: defend him to take away the short stuff he can
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: beat then d But sure that was the thing the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: other day, but you also went in nineteen with plenty
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: with free touchdowns. So credit him for in that circumstance,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: with that game plan making it work. Now we've got
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: to see if the Titans defend him differently, how he
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: plays against that. Yeah, the Titans quarterback cornerbacks Malcolm Butler
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and Dorry Jackson are definitely no joke cornerbacks. Will see
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: how that affects the offense as a whole. All Right,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: we I've heard that we have Brian Sexton back in
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the building, and let's go to big thing one, Derrick Henry. Brian,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: you are well aware how talent that this guy is.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Jaguars run defense looked better last week, but talk about
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: a challenge. I mean, this is one of the most
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: challenging guys they'll face all year. Well, and my hot
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: take has to do with Derrick Henry, so I'm gonna
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: stay away from too many. I'll just touch on what
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: you said about his performance on Monday in Denver, that
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: he went over a hundred yards again. However, and this
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: is a very valid point, it took him thirty one
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: carries to get there the other night. It wasn't like
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: well last year when we saw him do it in seventeen. Okay, um,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: thirty one carries his three point eight yards per rush,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: which is as pedestrian as it gets. Now, this is
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: an all Pro running back. At least the last two
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: years he has been he early in the season. He's
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: had four seasons to have been averages average gets. The
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: last two have been all Pro. In those last two seasons,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: his average in September is three eight yards per carry.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: So he gets off to a bit of a slow start.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I'll leave it at that. Already, fantastic teas into your
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: burning wood fire grill hot takes. When we come back,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: we go over those hot taps here on Jaguars Drive time.

• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Drive Time Wednesday Morning. Back on the practice fields today,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: getting ready for Week two, and we have some Bernie
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Wood fired grill hot takes going into Sunday's game in Nashville, Tennessee.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Brian Get teased it, we all know it's about this
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: running back, but tell us more. Yeah, they'll hold Derrick
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Henry get to under a hundred yards on Sunday for
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. And I mentioned, you know, the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: last four times they've played him twice in Jacksonville in September,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: he averaged three point six yards per carry. Twice after
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving in Nashville. He averaged eleven yards per carry. Okay,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: so obviously, like a lot of big backs, I mean,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the guy gets stronger as the game and the season
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: goes along. This is an interesting one because it's in
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Nashville in September, but the Jaguars are highly focused on
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: not being embarrassed by Derrick Henry like they have been
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the last two trips that they've been there. The key
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: is those games two years ago when he popped the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: ninety nine yard and last year when he popped the
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: seventy four yard or there were big runs that powered
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: his numbers. He had two hundred and thirty eight yards there.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: He had a hundred and fifty nine last year, mostly
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: powered fueled by those big runs. So I think this
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: time they are focused on him. It's early in the
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: season where he takes a little time to get going,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: and I think that they have a strong showing much
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: like Gardner Minshew was on the money Sunday against the Colts.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I think I think this run defense knows that this
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: is the litmus tests for them. They couldn't stop the
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: run last year. They haven't been able to stop this
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: guy in Nashville the last two years. I think they
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: come to play on Sunday. This by far is the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: biggest test yet about this Jaguars run defense. We will
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: truly see how much they have improved if they have
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: in the off season. All right, John Ozer, what do
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: you have for your Bernie with fire brill hot tea yet?
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I will definitely get to my hot tache. I completely
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: agree with Brian on how they're going to stop the run.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Big factor with Tennessee. To remember the games when the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Wheels came off at Tennessee in the last few years
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: have been late in the season when the Jaguars were
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: already on the decline. I think stopping Derrick Henry playing
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: better in Tennessee. This is not going to be a
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: team that wilts after one bad play against Derrick Henry.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: So I think that's a factor to which leads me
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: to my hot take, which is Miles Jack. Uh. You
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: know the demise of Miles Jack in the off season.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I can't I can't remember how many times I wrote, Look,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: this guy is not as bad as people keep writing
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and saying. He was at a position last year. I
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: think he may wind up being a Pro Bowl level
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: player this year. I don't know. If it means the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, because that can be tough in terms of
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: how your team does, recognition, whatever. But I think he's
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: going to have a monster year. All the people who
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: rode him off, I think we'll have to eat some
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: crow this year. So Miles Jack, pro Bowl level player.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I think he's a big reason why the Jaggars. You're
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: gonna stop Derrick Henry on Sunday. Don't just look at
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the tackers on him. He was terrific on Sunday. He
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: missed one tackle Schlynn, but from that point on he
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: was all over the field. Even if he didn't become
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the primary tackler, he was in position to make the play.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: He was sensational. Yeah, and just all in all, looking
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: way more comfortable, way more confident on the field on Sunday,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: playing much more fast. Thing. We all noticed that from
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Miles Jack. All Right, I'm going to the offensive side
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: of the ball. Mind Bernie Wood, fire girl, hot take,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: and it's about our new guy, James Robinson. The running
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: back rush for sixty two yards on sixteen attempts for
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: no touchdowns on Sunday against the Colt. I predict that
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: number will go up on Sunday against the Titans, and
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking, this is a tougher defense.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay suffered a turf toe Monday night that Denver
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Broncos running back, So we really haven't seen this Titans
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: defense be tested yet and how they will match up
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: against a running back. But I think Sunday is a
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: true match. I think by the end of this game,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: people across the country are gonna know who James Robinson is.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: He already has been talked about in Jacksonville after his
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: performance against the Colts. I think he hasn't even better
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: performance against the Titans and the country starts taking notice
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Bryan set Well, if they didn't already take notice of
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: that leaping play that made it all over sports media
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: and social media. Um, it's tough to break in to
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the conscious of you know, the sporting public in America,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: especially in the NFL, because we're such a star studded league,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: focus so much on the Tom Brady's and the Drew
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Brees and those guys. Um, he's gonna have to have
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: a hacking for performance on Sunday to get there. But
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I think by the time this season is complete, at
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: least in football households, he'll be a name. It's well known, yeah, John.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: It strikes me the similarities of the love Lindsay almost
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the style of running the undrafted free agent. I mean
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay. A couple of years ago, no one knew
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: who he was, and now he's a household name. Well,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and I said a lot last week. It's a position
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: where an undrafted guy. It's very common for lowly drafted,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: undrafted running backs to be successful in the NFL. The
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: unique thing about James Robinson was he started this season
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: as an undrafted running back, and even more than that,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: he's obviously the first running back in the NFL history
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: to start the season as an undrafted guy with no
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: preseason games. So that was the unbelievable great unknown. But
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: he's when you watch him run, he's more than just
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: that hey free agent running back story. There's something to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: this guy. He's got really, really, really good vision. He
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't waste yardage, he doesn't waste time, He gets the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: most out of runs. I don't know watching him that
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: he's going to be a spectacular back, meaning a lot
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: of seventy five yard runs, but he's very efficient and
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: a good thing for the Jaguars offense the offensive line.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: If there's four yards there, he's gonna get four or five.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: He's not gonna waste time and waste the play. Mhmin
• 18:12

  Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com slash stadium I learn more. We're back
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: on a Wednesday morning with some Ashland asked. The white
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: boards are out, which means we've got the tough questions
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: coming for a week two on Sunday, Ashland asks number one.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I hope you boys are already with the white board,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: all right, Bryan Sexton. I guess whoever is ready first?
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Who needs to step up on Sunday and have a
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: great game? Who needs to step up on Sunday in Nashville, Kinnessee.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: The Jaguars have not won there in seven seasons two
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: thousand thirteen. That's when I graduated high school. Long time,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Brian Sexton, John Ozier, do you have an answer for me?
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I do, but you called on Brian Bird. I was waiting.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: So here it is Caven Bryant Um. He's the biggest,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: strongest guy on that defensive front and they are facing
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: the biggest strongest running back in the league. Ergo, the
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: biggest and the strongest must win. So I say, David
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Brian has got to stand up. He played pretty well
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, but he's got to have his first dominant
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: game where it's like wow, look at him inside there.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: And this offensive line is good. They're not as good
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: as the Colds, but they're good, and so it'll be
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: a big test for Taven. We've talked about him since
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: training camp, We talked about him since the season finale
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: last year against the Colts. Time to bring it and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: and bear those words to fruition. Yea hopefully talking about
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Taven Brian on Monday Show because that's when you know
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: you had a good game. John Osan who needs to
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: step up on Sunday, Well, it starts with Taven Bryan
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: and the defensive line. I'm gonna go with Joe Schobert
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: for the sake of not saying Taven Brian again. Joe
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Schobert needs to be that second wave of defense. Uh.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna shut Derrick Henry to zero yards.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: What you don't want is the yard the seventy four
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: yard run. You don't want to break out. So the
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: second line of defense, Joe Schobert, Miles Jack, preventing that,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: not letting him get ahead of steam. I think it's
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: just as important as the defensive front. Not agree more.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I gotta stop those exclusive runs. And I guess this
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: isn't a really stepping up, but I haven't seen these
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: guys yet these season, and it's the tight end. We
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: talked so much about them in training camp in the
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: off season. With the signing of Tyler Eiffert one catch
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: for eight yards from Tyler Eiffert. James O'Shaughnessy was targeted
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: once for no catch. Where are these guys? This is
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Jay Gruden, This is Gardner Minshew, this is the tight
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: ends as a whole. Use them on Sunday against the Titans.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: All right? Ashlan asked number two. How many yards well
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: James Robinson have against that Titans defense? We talked about
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: him in Big Things. We all expect him to go
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: up at about sixty yards against the colt Are we
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: expecting the same? Are we expecting more? Could he break
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: a hundred? Possibly? Hard to say because we haven't seen
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: much from him. What do you guys expecting from James
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Robinson on Sunday? Yeah, I'm getting too long with my number.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Chill out, you boys have an answer, I do. Let
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: me see it. I shan't move my light here, and
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: you see that I gotta use a different color sixty two,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: which is exactly what he had on Sunday against the Colts.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: And it's not that I wasn't depressed or don't think
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: he has the ability to get better. It's just in
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the second half of that Colts game, you saw what
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Indianapolis did. They said, he's not running and they stopped him.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: He had very little production on the ground in the
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: second half because the Colts focused on an undrafted rookie
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: with no preseason games. It really is remarkable. The Titans
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: will come in with an idea of what he's capable of,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: and they're going to want Minshoe to throw the ball
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: a lot so they can get after him with the
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: pass fresh They're gonna make Minshoe beat him. When Steve
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: McNair was the quarterback there in his early years, we
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: used to call the defense darre McNair. In other words,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: sell out to stop Eddie George and darest McNair to
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: beat you. I think that's kind of what they do here,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: is they put Minshew in the crosshairs, they'll take the runaway.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I still think he'll be productive, but about the way
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: he was last week, Alright, I don't know, what do
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: you think of the same. Yeah, I think I think
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: he runs for fifty, but I think he gets forty
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: as a receiver because I think there's an element of
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: his game where he can do that. So I think
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be about the kind of back we saw
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: in the opener, sixty seventy yard back that gets you
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: a thousand. That's what this team needs. They need consistency,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: need him to be able to do things outside the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: running game as well. He'll have some explosive you I mean,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I have some exposive players, explosive to the yards. I
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: don't know that the Tennessee defense, which is pretty good.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I think Brian's right. I think they try to stop
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: him and then it opens up things for Minshow where
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: it'll come back is if the passing game can continue
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: to hurt defenses. Defenses have to pay more attention to that.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Robinson's apple of that when they start paying more attention
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: to the to the passing game. But I think he'll
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: be a sixty seventy yard rushing guy with the passing
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: stat I think he'll be very productive this season Already'd
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: like to hear it fifty plus forty. Like John said,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: is we're on the exact same page here. I think
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: they'll start off the Jaguars offense running the ball a lot,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: so like you guys said, taking the runaway and forcing
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Minshew to beat them with guys like Chark and Keeling,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: cole visca channel so We'll see what happens. But I
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: think we're all on the same page, either tying what
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: he had first week or going up final ashle nask
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: for you, what matchup are we looking at on Sunday
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: in Nashville, Tennessee all kinds that we mentioned that Titans
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: defense is pretty good. Bryan's Tannehill came out of nowhere
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: last season and led that team to the playoffs. You
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: got Derrick Kenry, you got talented wide receivers. Who are
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: we looking at on Sunday? All right, who's ready? I'll
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: be ready quite well. I'm gonna say Corey Davis versus C. J.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Henderson and it might be some A J. Brown versus C. J. Henderson. Uh.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: The Titans wide receiver better than people realize. There's so
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: much focus on Derrick Henry. This is a pretty good
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: passing offense. There were times last season where the passing
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: offense carried them late in the season. Uh. Corey Davis
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: is a guy going into his fourth year, He's in
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: a contract year. At a hundred. The other night against Denver,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the Titans can be dangerous, but C. J. Henderson obviously
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: has shown he's a guy who can take that away.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: So I think that matchups something to watch, all right,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I'm like that under the radar friends text him off,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: the hell with it, it won't work. Uh, you gotta
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: get my lighting right here. So I'll say Jadavian Clowney
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: against whoever he lines up against. Right, I mean I
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: was saying in the spring, and people were like, he's
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: not better than Unique and gock Way. He's never had
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: ten sacks. Forget sacks. The reason that Jadeveon Clowney is
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: such a good football player and a guy that you
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: want on your team is because he's so damn disruptive.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: He's six ft six, his arms are probably eight ft long.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: He's got meat Cleaver's for hands. He's just the kind
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: of guy that you could put on the edge, or
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: you can put in the middle, or you can loop
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: him around. He's a matchup problem no matter who he
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: lines up again, Cam Robinson or a J. Can Right,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: his former teammate at South Carolina. The guy is absolutely disruptive.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: So you know that Mike Grabel is going to have
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: a plan to move him all over the place and
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: try and make the passing lanes very short. For Gardner Minshew,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: who was just over six ft tall, wherever he lines up,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: whoever he lines up against, and better be right. Big
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: test for the Jaguars offensive line. I have Malcolm Butler
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: versus d J. Charks seeing if they double team chart
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: but obviously very talented cornerback for the Tennessee Titans. So
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: this is a good matchup to watch when we come back.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Some ozone snapshot you're on the Jaguars Digital Network. Hey
• 29:30

  Speaker 1: all jackson al righty, let's go to some ozone snapshot
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: in the ozone mailbags thing right here in jack Pinville's
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: who our guy Royce? Mr Oh, there is nothing wrong
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: with winning, But the average rushed by Poltz Brunners was
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: concerning what say you, well, I say that a lot
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: of the yards per carry happened early in the game.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I like what they did in terms of getting better
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: late in the game. I thought it was encouraging that
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: they got stronger as the game went on. For the
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: run defense, I thought overall the opener bodes well for
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: how they will play moving forward against the run. The
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Culture running backs average three point eight yards per carry
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: when you back out the evers and the quarterback scrambling,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: and that includes a twelve yard run in an eighteen
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: yard run. They, as John mentioned, gave up some things early,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: but got much stronger as the game went along. And
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: really their issue was tackling early in the ballgame. They
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: had shots at the receivers, at the running backs pardon me,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: but just didn't bring him to the ground. Their run
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: defense is much improved, and that yard per carry average,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: the one that matters, is three point eight, and they
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: won that one. I love to hear it run defense improving.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Let's see if you can improve it this week against
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. Let's go to Atlantic Beach. Jeff, what do
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: you got for us? You always hear that young teams
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: have to learn how to win. How impressive is it
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: that this team was able to close out this game
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: against a veteran quarterback Philip rivers Well. I think it's
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: important because Rivers obviously has savvy. UM. I unfortunately sort
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: of wonder if Rivers is going to be the same guy.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: You know, Uh, there were a couple of throws that
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: you weren't sure that the velocity was there. At some
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: point players get old that, you know. So I think
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: there is an element of still wondering what Philip Rivers is.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: All of that said, this is a guy who is
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: very good in the clutch. He is very good at
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: bringing teams from behind when it matters. The Jaguars withstood
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: that and got him off field. That can't be lost.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: But it will play out just where he is in
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: his career right now. Um. Last December, Rivers played magnificently
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: here and he had a track record against the Jaguars. Um.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: But Rivers isn't Rivers anymore. And that's tough for me
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: to say, because I love the guy. I mean as
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: a player, I was him on the field. Personally, I
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: love who he is as a husband and father and
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: member of his community. I mean, I just Philip Rivers
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: is at the top of my list in terms of
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks and and players and people. Um, so I think
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: really really highly of him. But it was clear um
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: that he's not the same guy. He just isn't. And
