- 0:50Speaker 1: and I'm calling earlier. I think they win bare they
- 0:53Speaker 1: come um big game because of last Sun when they
- 0:58Speaker 1: made it a big You wouldn't have said, d with
- 1:00Speaker 1: the Jets, the way that their season looked, with the
- 1:03Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, that this was gonna be a big game.
- 1:05Speaker 1: But it's it's it's sort of your classic. It's it
- 1:09Speaker 1: won't be looked at as big as they win it. Yeah,
- 1:12Speaker 1: but it's gonna be darn big if they lose. It.
- 1:14Speaker 1: We got a lot to talk. You gotta win this
- 1:15Speaker 1: respective to that game. Before we do that, let's do
- 1:17Speaker 1: the Twitter pool and then get into big things so
- 1:19Speaker 1: we can dive into the topic of the Jets. So
- 1:21Speaker 1: here it is and uh four, Hey Joe Fortsnato, who
- 1:24Speaker 1: will join us in the B segment. We're doing the
- 1:26Speaker 1: drive time poll at three And it's well, it's just
- 1:33Speaker 1: he likes to think about this for the entire show
- 1:36Speaker 1: before he votes, so he wants the question to be
- 1:39Speaker 1: offered to him early. He's quick like that, kind of
- 1:41Speaker 1: like the Corvette that he's driving these days. Uh, who
- 1:44Speaker 1: is the most impactful newcomers so far? About a month
- 1:48Speaker 1: into the season? Now, which one of these gentlemen, including
- 1:51Speaker 1: the former Jet Austin Seferian Jenkins, would be at the
- 1:55Speaker 1: top of the list, or is there someone else that
- 1:58Speaker 1: comes to mind? Today's JAG drive Time pull on Twitter.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Please vote and by the way, uh, the Happy Hour
- 2:06Speaker 1: crew this afternoon will continue with the poll, so you
- 2:09Speaker 1: have twenty four hours to cast your impactful vote on
- 2:12Speaker 1: the impactful newcomer? Got a vote there pipe this morning?
- 2:21Speaker 1: So well, uh yeah, my vote would be Ronnie Harrison
- 2:25Speaker 1: um and disappointed that my votes, not Dante moncrief Uh,
- 2:31Speaker 1: you know, Austin Sfari and Jenkins. I've been thinking about
- 2:35Speaker 1: this last couple of days about Austin's Ferry and Jenkins.
- 2:37Speaker 1: He's made an impact. I don't think he's made the
- 2:39Speaker 1: impact that people want him to yet. But my guess
- 2:43Speaker 1: is that that impact as the running backs get going
- 2:47Speaker 1: and as Leonard Fernick gets back and they become more
- 2:51Speaker 1: of the offense that they want to be, which is
- 2:53Speaker 1: two back and slamm and Leonard into the line of
- 2:55Speaker 1: scrimmage some I think that will open up the seam
- 2:58Speaker 1: stuff for Austin Farran Jenkins. Right now, it's been stuff
- 3:03Speaker 1: into the flat. It's been stuff where it seems like
- 3:05Speaker 1: every time you throw him he's covered by five people.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Everything's sort of in a phone booth with him right now.
- 3:10Speaker 1: I think that will change me more of an impact.
- 3:12Speaker 1: But you know, I so far have been wrong about
- 3:15Speaker 1: Dante Moncreeve. I thought he would be a signing that
- 3:19Speaker 1: truly mattered and truly showed up. And so far do
- 3:22Speaker 1: you suppose the injury to Marquise Lee has hampered him,
- 3:25Speaker 1: In other words, not as much as hampered Marquise well,
- 3:29Speaker 1: but a lot in terms of having a veteran presence
- 3:32Speaker 1: on the other shide where the coverage couldn't think about him. Maybe,
- 3:36Speaker 1: but that's uh, you know, I don't think they signed
- 3:41Speaker 1: him with the idea that he would be four hundred
- 3:45Speaker 1: yard fourteen touchdown guy. I think nine million bucks yea,
- 3:49Speaker 1: I kind of thought he'd be an impactful player. Impactful,
- 3:53Speaker 1: but really, uh, nine million dollars for a wide receiver
- 3:58Speaker 1: these days, is I mean it's not and if joining
- 4:02Speaker 1: out of money for a one year contract, but I
- 4:05Speaker 1: thought he would give you more in terms of making
- 4:07Speaker 1: the defense pay attention to him, and more in terms
- 4:11Speaker 1: of you know, I thought he was absent the other day,
- 4:14Speaker 1: even when Marquis was here on the field playing. I
- 4:18Speaker 1: don't recall us even really making a big deal about
- 4:20Speaker 1: Dante Moncrief. Remember in training camp, we talked about d
- 4:22Speaker 1: d Westbrook every day because of the place he was making.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Dante Moncrief even during training camp, I don't think made
- 4:27Speaker 1: that stamp off. I'm here, I'm ready to go. I
- 4:30Speaker 1: want to get back to Harrison for a moment that
- 4:33Speaker 1: I actually thought Dante looked better in training camp once
- 4:35Speaker 1: he got healthy. Um, again, I didn't expect him to
- 4:40Speaker 1: be thousand yard guy, but I expected it to be
- 4:45Speaker 1: a guy who made two or three big plays. A
- 4:48Speaker 1: game change, absolutely, but so far. I'll get back to
- 4:53Speaker 1: Ronny Harrison for just a moment. Well, he's got to
- 4:56Speaker 1: be really on Jacob because he's starting overly on Jacobs.
- 4:59Speaker 1: They're they're playing in the big nickel and they're not
- 5:01Speaker 1: playing the strong side backer package very much at all.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Uh And Ronnie Harrison so far out of all the newcomers,
- 5:11Speaker 1: it may not be fair to put him over s
- 5:12Speaker 1: J because a s J has made the touchdown catch
- 5:14Speaker 1: and he's had some big first down catches. But Ronnie
- 5:20Speaker 1: Harrison has done something new the newcomer has done. He
- 5:24Speaker 1: has played well enough for them to put something in
- 5:27Speaker 1: their defensive package they've never had before. They've gone back
- 5:30Speaker 1: and schemed and said, we need to figure out a
- 5:32Speaker 1: way to get this guy in the field. And I
- 5:34Speaker 1: haven't seen anywhere where he has been a liability at all, um.
- 5:38Speaker 1: And from talking to people, he's the guy out of
- 5:42Speaker 1: the rookie class that you hear the most buzz about
- 5:46Speaker 1: future star. And that's why the other option is there.
- 5:49Speaker 1: So I don't forget the Jags Drive Time poll one
- 5:52Speaker 1: for Ronnie Harrison or others. How you just sort of
- 5:56Speaker 1: catch all in it ahead and I don't know that
- 5:59Speaker 1: save just me. It just gives people the opportunity to contribute,
- 6:02Speaker 1: you know, to be their own senior writer for a day.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Nobody went there at least of all you all right,
- 6:09Speaker 1: time for big things? All right, John, guess what big
- 6:11Speaker 1: thing wanted? Don't look at the sheet. It's it's it's
- 6:15Speaker 1: a Leonard Leonards leg. Yes, it's Leonard's leg. It will
- 6:19Speaker 1: be the story until it's not. Yes, it'll continue to
- 6:21Speaker 1: be big thing one until it's not. Like Brian just said,
- 6:24Speaker 1: we're gonna get an update from head coach Doug moro
- 6:26Speaker 1: Own today about Leonard's leag We're hopefully going to see
- 6:28Speaker 1: Leonard on the practice field to day. So things were
- 6:31Speaker 1: moving forward today with leonard'slake. Seeing him on the practice
- 6:34Speaker 1: field equate to an outcome. No, because we saw him
- 6:38Speaker 1: on the practice field last week. It might see if
- 6:41Speaker 1: he's full. I mean, he was limited last week. And
- 6:44Speaker 1: as long as somebody's limited, it's in that nebulous gray
- 6:47Speaker 1: area I like to live in. But it's not a
- 6:49Speaker 1: good thing for an injured player in the NFL with
- 6:56Speaker 1: limited Sometimes when guys are limited with some teams, that
- 7:01Speaker 1: means they're playing with this bunch. It has very much
- 7:04Speaker 1: been in Gray that you don't know. I wasn't shocked
- 7:08Speaker 1: that Frett didn't play last week. I think what I
- 7:10Speaker 1: was shocked at or bothered by, more than anything, was
- 7:17Speaker 1: t J yelled in being unable to sort of and
- 7:23Speaker 1: the tone there sounds like it's it's down on t
- 7:25Speaker 1: J yeld and it's not. I thought he played a
- 7:26Speaker 1: great game playing through what he played, but it it
- 7:30Speaker 1: hurt them not to have more firepower at the running
- 7:33Speaker 1: back position. Well, he got dinged up fairly early in
- 7:36Speaker 1: the game, and then they're relying on Corey Grant and
- 7:38Speaker 1: Brandon Wild. My question with regards to Leonard is simply
- 7:43Speaker 1: how close, not if he's ready to go this week
- 7:45Speaker 1: or not, because and we've referenced this several times in
- 7:51Speaker 1: it turns out Fred wasn't really full strength until late
- 7:54Speaker 1: late in the season. So how close is he? Is
- 7:57Speaker 1: he close that he might be available to you this
- 8:00Speaker 1: week or Kansas City? I mean, how close is he?
- 8:04Speaker 1: And we don't know? I mean, Doug even said in
- 8:06Speaker 1: his news conference kind of rolled his eyes. His body
- 8:08Speaker 1: language said I don't know. I've been optimistic the whole time.
- 8:11Speaker 1: But if he's not, they gotta figure they had figure
- 8:13Speaker 1: out a way you get a Brandon Wild involved. And
- 8:16Speaker 1: if if Brandon Wild isn't a guy they want involved,
- 8:19Speaker 1: what do you have? Well? One carry the other day
- 8:20Speaker 1: I think or um, but it was not a factor. Uh.
- 8:24Speaker 1: If he's not going to be involved, then you wonder
- 8:29Speaker 1: how they run the offense that they want to run well.
- 8:32Speaker 1: I imagine the t J. Yeldman will be limited at
- 8:35Speaker 1: some point today, uh and maybe Thursday also because of
- 8:38Speaker 1: the ankle in Juram Doug referenced that on Monday. So
- 8:41Speaker 1: I would think that Brandon Wild is going to get
- 8:43Speaker 1: plenty of time on the practice field to be ready
- 8:45Speaker 1: to carry the ball more on Sunday against the Jets.
- 8:47Speaker 1: I mean that just is logical thinking. Well, but it
- 8:50Speaker 1: would have been logical thinking last week too because t
- 8:52Speaker 1: J was ankle from the week before and if you
- 8:56Speaker 1: wasn't gonna go. The more I look at this offense
- 9:00Speaker 1: and the running backs, they you know, and it's not
- 9:04Speaker 1: like I'm breaking any news here, but the running backs
- 9:07Speaker 1: have to be involved, have to be dynamic for this
- 9:09Speaker 1: offense to look right, um the other day, fifty yards
- 9:15Speaker 1: from the running backs on the two field goal drives,
- 9:18Speaker 1: on all the other drives when they're not getting the
- 9:21Speaker 1: backs the ball out of the backfield. When it's not
- 9:23Speaker 1: that there's a feeling sometimes this offense is right, Well,
- 9:27Speaker 1: you're not sure which backs getting the ball and you're
- 9:29Speaker 1: not sure where they're going to get the ball. It's
- 9:31Speaker 1: gonna test the edges. When they're not doing that, that
- 9:34Speaker 1: limits the whole offense and pulls everything back in. For
- 9:37Speaker 1: that's a guy to get it. For this offense to
- 9:40Speaker 1: be right, he's got to get back and TJ's gotta
- 9:42Speaker 1: be were just about to say, can this offense be
- 9:44Speaker 1: right with t J Elden and Corey Grant? And I
- 9:47Speaker 1: think you know it was pretty right against New England.
- 9:49Speaker 1: I was gonna say on a game by game basis, yes,
- 9:50Speaker 1: when the matchups work for you, but it gets a
- 9:52Speaker 1: team like Tennessee that plays your style or Pittsburgh right, No,
- 9:57Speaker 1: you've got to have him on the field. And that's
- 9:59Speaker 1: the X I mean for people who are panicking about
- 10:02Speaker 1: the offense, that's the X factor. If he gets back,
- 10:05Speaker 1: and if t J is right, then I think they'll
- 10:07Speaker 1: be fine, but it does feel like it's gonna be
- 10:10Speaker 1: a hold your breath thing for those guys to be healthy.
- 10:12Speaker 1: And I go back to how close is he because
- 10:15Speaker 1: if my thought, if he was close on Sunday, you
- 10:19Speaker 1: probably have him active. Yes, I don't know what's close
- 10:23Speaker 1: with with a hamstring. Close is different with a hamstring
- 10:29Speaker 1: on a running back than it is on say, an
- 10:31Speaker 1: elbow on a quarterback like Mariota. With Mariota, uh, the
- 10:36Speaker 1: Titans knew they could play him obviously with no risk
- 10:39Speaker 1: for further damage. With close with a hamstring, you're at
- 10:42Speaker 1: further damage risk. And I think that's why it's a
- 10:44Speaker 1: little You don't say, well he's n I think he's
- 10:47Speaker 1: getting back to percent. I don't know how close he happen,
- 10:49Speaker 1: but I don't know you get to a percent with
- 10:51Speaker 1: a hamstring on a running back during the season. Again,
- 10:53Speaker 1: I go back to the one season that I can
- 10:55Speaker 1: reference that, and that's Fred, you know, another elite performer,
- 10:59Speaker 1: and he was it and it was played two games.
- 11:01Speaker 1: Here's the hamstring again, which is what my thought is
- 11:04Speaker 1: is that they're trying to avoid that lingering, right, which
- 11:07Speaker 1: just makes sense. And yet I'm not sure you can
- 11:09Speaker 1: avoid that with a hamstring. The key word. Yeah, that
- 11:14Speaker 1: pop was scary. That's what makes you think. Okay, well,
- 11:16Speaker 1: I just wonder how close he is and I guess
- 11:18Speaker 1: we'll find out as they find out. Did they need
- 11:20Speaker 1: to figure out how to get Brian Wilth involved in
- 11:22Speaker 1: effective to alright? Big thing too? Is no easy? Oh
- 11:26Speaker 1: so flat out. This offense is just gonna have to
- 11:28Speaker 1: play better. Not you, John O, It's nothing easy about
- 11:32Speaker 1: you O. The Jets defense, you have Leonard Williams, Jamal Adams,
- 11:36Speaker 1: really talented guys on the field, and the moral of the
- 11:38Speaker 1: the story is that they're just gonna have to step
- 11:40Speaker 1: it up. To speak the entire unit. It's a good
- 11:42Speaker 1: defense and they're well coached. Todd Bowles has a defensive pedigree.
- 11:45Speaker 1: He took over some of the play calling in the
- 11:47Speaker 1: second half of the the Browns game. And with Leonard
- 11:50Speaker 1: Williams upfront, who is a disruptive force. Now, Jeff Lackoman
- 11:54Speaker 1: told us yesterday he hasn't been the pass rusher that
- 11:56Speaker 1: he had been early in his career, but he's still
- 11:59Speaker 1: a two time pro performer. Behind him, you've got Darren Lee,
- 12:03Speaker 1: the linebacker from Ohio. Steve was a bit of a
- 12:04Speaker 1: late bloomer. I think they thought he would be more
- 12:06Speaker 1: than he was early. Uh. And then behind him was
- 12:08Speaker 1: Jamal Adams is the best player on this defense who
- 12:11Speaker 1: is a Jalen Ramsey caliber talent at safety, and they
- 12:14Speaker 1: feel like their defense is better. They added to Maine
- 12:17Speaker 1: Johnson at cornerback. They feel like he has made them better. Um,
- 12:20Speaker 1: it's a it's a defense that's scares you. The X
- 12:24Speaker 1: factor here is you know the Jaguars defense or I
- 12:28Speaker 1: feel like Jaguars defense is going to play well enough
- 12:31Speaker 1: to counter the Jets playing well. I think the key
- 12:35Speaker 1: to this game not to get away from it too quickly.
- 12:38Speaker 1: But I think the key to this game is the
- 12:41Speaker 1: Jaguars defense playing much better than it did last year
- 12:44Speaker 1: against the Jets when he gave up Tuneer in fifty.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Just touch the guy down, Ashley, just like when he's down.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Just touching them um referred to Bible Powells touchdown, just
- 12:52Speaker 1: touch um. But if they played better, especially against the run,
- 12:58Speaker 1: then you can get to Sam Arnold, uh, a ricky quarterback.
- 13:02Speaker 1: If you get to him, you should be able to
- 13:03Speaker 1: create the turnovers. If you can get a little edge.
- 13:05Speaker 1: If you can get that seven. I think they were
- 13:07Speaker 1: up by seven last year when had the run. If
- 13:10Speaker 1: they had gotten up ten in that game, I feel
- 13:12Speaker 1: like they'd have won it going away. You've got to
- 13:15Speaker 1: get to the point where you stop the running game
- 13:17Speaker 1: and get donald making mistakes so that your defense can
- 13:20Speaker 1: play offense on side. And remember last year they scored
- 13:23Speaker 1: a touchdown Miles Jack recovered the fumble. I mean, the
- 13:25Speaker 1: defense had its moments, and you need to create takeaways.
- 13:29Speaker 1: That's been the part missing from this defense this year
- 13:32Speaker 1: is that that takeaway now. I mean you had it
- 13:35Speaker 1: against the Patriots, but last week we didn't see it.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Um the judge defense. If you want to take advantage
- 13:41Speaker 1: of that, put this offense on short fields, absolutely right, right,
- 13:44Speaker 1: no question. And I think the defense must play offense
- 13:48Speaker 1: this week and against a rookie quarterback, that's when you're
- 13:51Speaker 1: supposed to play offense on defense. But the strength of
- 13:53Speaker 1: the Jets is their defense, no question, No easy you alright.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Big thing three is Austin Safari and Jenkins a s
- 14:04Speaker 1: J the return of his former team. It's an emotional
- 14:07Speaker 1: time for him. Looking back. There was an article by
- 14:09Speaker 1: our friend d Rock from ESPN yesterday where he said
- 14:12Speaker 1: a s J said that the Jets saved his life,
- 14:14Speaker 1: helped him get back on the field, helped him with
- 14:16Speaker 1: his alcohol issue. He owes a lot to that organization,
- 14:19Speaker 1: so I know this week will be a pretty emotional
- 14:20Speaker 1: time for him. He's a good guy in the locker room,
- 14:22Speaker 1: which is why my vote would be for him as
- 14:25Speaker 1: the most impactful player because of his impact on the
- 14:29Speaker 1: offense with the quarterback going to the quarterback meetings to
- 14:33Speaker 1: kind of understand the entire picture of the offense. He
- 14:37Speaker 1: wanted to have a huge impact early and I don't
- 14:40Speaker 1: know that you'd say he had a huge although he
- 14:42Speaker 1: had a touchdown called back on opening Day and he
- 14:45Speaker 1: had the touchdown against the Patriots. So two touchdowns in
- 14:47Speaker 1: the first two weeks pretty big, Um. But this is
- 14:50Speaker 1: a guy who has I keep using the word impact,
- 14:53Speaker 1: but he's been impactful on the field, in the locker room,
- 14:56Speaker 1: in the meeting rooms. Um, and a former Jet and
- 14:59Speaker 1: I'm remember play last year was his longest reception of
- 15:02Speaker 1: the season. It was up the scene which we were
- 15:04Speaker 1: talking about earlier, twenty seven yards and the Dragon Wars
- 15:07Speaker 1: did not have that guy on the field for them.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Last year. Now they've got it, but without for NET,
- 15:14Speaker 1: I don't know that they can execute it. Remember what
- 15:16Speaker 1: the Jets were doing in that game, Well, they were running,
- 15:18Speaker 1: So it creates opportunities. And uh again, I think that
- 15:24Speaker 1: is so key to what this team wants to do,
- 15:26Speaker 1: not just for Net. But you know, and I'm a
- 15:30Speaker 1: broken record on this, I keep going back to the
- 15:31Speaker 1: Atlanta game in the preseason when they had the two
- 15:34Speaker 1: backs and when it when it felt like they had
- 15:37Speaker 1: nine running backs in the field every play because you
- 15:40Speaker 1: didn't know where those guys were going. I can't help
- 15:42Speaker 1: but feel that that is a major part of what
- 15:45Speaker 1: they believe will make this offense dynamic. Um, if you
- 15:48Speaker 1: look back at the at the series that this team
- 15:50Speaker 1: has been effective this year, it has been on most
- 15:55Speaker 1: of those series they have had eight, nine, twelve yard
- 16:00Speaker 1: gains from the running back. Someone runs, someone passes. But
- 16:06Speaker 1: when those you said something, said, yeah, you said something
- 16:10Speaker 1: that got my series going. Because if we want to
- 16:13Speaker 1: get her involved with a little paddle game later, we can't. Um.
- 16:17Speaker 1: The running backs need to be involved in terms of
- 16:21Speaker 1: pass and run to keep the opposing secondary off balance
- 16:25Speaker 1: and to get into that rhythm. They need to get into.
- 16:27Speaker 1: If you're a broken record in the Atlanta game, I'm
- 16:29Speaker 1: a broken record in the Pittsburgh game from the playoffs
- 16:31Speaker 1: last year where they started throwing to Koyak and O'Shaughnessy underneath,
- 16:35Speaker 1: which opened up the running lanes for Leonard, which then
- 16:38Speaker 1: further opened up the deep passes Tequilan, Coole and Mark Eastley.
- 16:43Speaker 1: It all seemed to be in sync. The running game
- 16:45Speaker 1: makes this thing go Alright, don't do it. I didn't
- 16:49Speaker 1: know if mine had something to say to Sometimes I'll
- 16:55Speaker 1: just turn my phone here, we'll just figure out exactly
- 16:59Speaker 1: all right, you've got the Twitter question. Big things done,
- 17:03Speaker 1: Hey Joe and the oh next on Jack's Drive Time,
- 17:07Speaker 1: and we leave you as we go to this commercial

- 18:38Speaker 1: A beautiful Sunday morning in Jacksonville, sunny dispositions across the desk.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Here inside the studio, opening sexty National and Sullivan John
- 18:57Speaker 1: Now for demand that you don't always see, but you
- 19:01Speaker 1: just feel comfortable knowing he's in the room. Oh shucks,
- 19:09Speaker 1: there he is, ladies, gentlemen, Joe Singer, songwriter, driver of
- 19:16Speaker 1: Core Vets. You know, I had it all planned today.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Everything was planned. It was gonna come up with a nice,
- 19:23Speaker 1: allegedly humorous list of how to Did you say humorous
- 19:27Speaker 1: or humorous? Humorous? You use the h from film us,
- 19:32Speaker 1: I don't use them. It's humorous with a y, all right? Anyway? Uh,
- 19:37Speaker 1: you know how to? How to come down off the ledge.
- 19:39Speaker 1: It's okay. You know you're still two in one. Everything's
- 19:42Speaker 1: looking great. I get ready to do it. I come
- 19:44Speaker 1: in this morning and you know what another cassette sitting
- 19:47Speaker 1: on the chair and I, I don't understand this. I
- 19:50Speaker 1: don't know where they're coming from. Is this one from
- 19:52Speaker 1: Tad Dickman? I could be you never know, but away
- 19:55Speaker 1: musical genius. We'll give it a play anyway, here it is.
- 20:01Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen. I can't tell by
- 20:04Speaker 1: the riff Bang kids. The Jets are really awful, and
- 20:10Speaker 1: Donald runs around like he's a deer caught in the headlights.
- 20:14Speaker 1: They couldn't soar enough to beat the lonely Browns with
- 20:20Speaker 1: cow that running back. You all to just throw in
- 20:24Speaker 1: the towel chat the fowl. Have you seen the you
- 20:33Speaker 1: down the feating up the jets that it's obvious, I
- 20:38Speaker 1: like Dordles is going to be wonderful, like enough that
- 20:42Speaker 1: you have ever seen you simply have a move. I've
- 20:49Speaker 1: seen that the movements in the tree that was harsh
- 20:54Speaker 1: cool rotating this chet. Luckily, I think it's over to tape.
- 21:00Speaker 1: You know, you know you can see the ends going
- 21:01Speaker 1: back and forth, the little ends running out, so it
- 21:04Speaker 1: must be over weird. That sounds like you do. That's strange,
- 21:09Speaker 1: what a terrible thing to say. I used to like you, Sullivan.
- 21:12Speaker 1: You brought a smile to Johnny O's face. Chucks. Yeah,
- 21:17Speaker 1: I like it. That's hey, Joe Fortunado. Is that a
- 21:20Speaker 1: smile or is it some kind of sort of maniacal
- 21:22Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure Ashlon was a cassette in
- 21:28Speaker 1: the seventies and eighties. Yes, this is bank of your phone.
- 21:33Speaker 1: How like, imagine inside if there was a little band
- 21:36Speaker 1: that it was really cool. So we have a segment
- 21:39Speaker 1: on this show. I still got some cassette day educating. Ah. Yeah,
- 21:43Speaker 1: it would be a long segment. We would need all
- 21:47Speaker 1: day what the topic was. But definitely history, Joe, it's
- 21:51Speaker 1: always real. Shucks straight jog jog dog like she said job,
- 22:00Speaker 1: I thought she said John another pipe beyond you know,
- 22:04Speaker 1: I think there needs to be I think I think
- 22:06Speaker 1: hey Joe needs to create a list of words at
- 22:14Speaker 1: the top. You might call it hey jog from here. No,
- 22:19Speaker 1: you are called I should right there, Zoe. I wish
- 22:29Speaker 1: we could just gonna play out. Let it play out.
- 22:32Speaker 1: I apologize sorry, okay, go ahead, thank you for your
- 22:37Speaker 1: mom in the sun. Let it breathe. You didn't get it.
- 22:41Speaker 1: It's time for the ozone snapshot, a look at the inbox,
- 22:46Speaker 1: or a sampling of the inbox earlier this week of
- 22:49Speaker 1: one John Osan, it's a popular inbox these days. I've
- 22:52Speaker 1: heard it's it's it's a scene to see. You know,
- 22:56Speaker 1: we probably should have Kelsey Grammar in the somewhere because
- 23:01Speaker 1: he he's an amateur psychologist. After a nine to six loss,
- 23:05Speaker 1: talking people off the left and I'm I'm listening right
- 23:09Speaker 1: to Daily Fight. That's fine, all right, let's get on
- 23:13Speaker 1: with Let's go to Phoenix. Jefferson, I'm feeling shades of
- 23:17Speaker 1: Fred Taylor's two thousand one injury with four nets hamstring.
- 23:21Speaker 1: Tell me true, well, Leonard be back this year? Are
- 23:23Speaker 1: the coaches just listing him as questionable as a strategy move?
- 23:27Speaker 1: Well to clarify and Brian, you were here in two
- 23:29Speaker 1: thousand one and I wasn't. Uh, but this is not
- 23:32Speaker 1: the injury you were talking about Fred Hams hamstring and
- 23:36Speaker 1: that was when it really was similar to this where
- 23:38Speaker 1: it just sort of kept him in out. I remember
- 23:40Speaker 1: that one, right, he's talking strategically because in two thousand
- 23:44Speaker 1: one he tore the groin muscle off the bone and
- 23:47Speaker 1: Tom Coughlin did not put him on injured reserve and
- 23:51Speaker 1: left him as questionable and that was that that became
- 23:55Speaker 1: a questionable move obviously because the old fragile Fred thing built.
- 23:59Speaker 1: That wasn't fair to Fred. And this doesn't feel like
- 24:03Speaker 1: that because that was one where looking back from what
- 24:07Speaker 1: Fred has said, he knew he wasn't playing again that season,
- 24:10Speaker 1: or it was very very doubtful that he was going
- 24:12Speaker 1: to play, So it was it was a little bit
- 24:14Speaker 1: of gamesmanship on that part. I don't get a gamesmanship
- 24:17Speaker 1: feel with the for Nette thing, and I think that's
- 24:19Speaker 1: what the readers concerned about, is is this one where
- 24:22Speaker 1: we're hearing that it's questionable and they've the tone of
- 24:26Speaker 1: the question is have they written for neet off for
- 24:29Speaker 1: the season? In no way, shape or form. Do I
- 24:31Speaker 1: feel that, Oh no, they wouldn't have him on the
- 24:34Speaker 1: practice field right and he wouldn't. At no point did
- 24:37Speaker 1: Fred ever come to the microphone and say, no, I
- 24:40Speaker 1: feel better. It may be up to the coaches, but no, no,
- 24:42Speaker 1: he was done. I mean there was no chance that
- 24:44Speaker 1: he was going to do that, and I and I
- 24:46Speaker 1: don't think Tom Coughlin would do that again, right, No, no, yeah,
- 24:49Speaker 1: So this if you're gonna make a comparison to an
- 24:52Speaker 1: injury the more, which is where he injured it in Cincinnati,
- 24:56Speaker 1: and then it was kind of on and off, on
- 24:58Speaker 1: and off. He tried to play and he would tweak
- 25:00Speaker 1: it again, and just to kind of circle back to
- 25:03Speaker 1: big thing number one, if I have a concern, it's
- 25:06Speaker 1: that he rests, and he's close, and he rests, and
- 25:08Speaker 1: then he comes back and tweaks it. He may play
- 25:11Speaker 1: two games and then all of a sudden it's not
- 25:12Speaker 1: great again. The hamstring has a way of lingering throughout
- 25:15Speaker 1: the season. Kevin Caplan, the team's representative doctor from j O,
- 25:20Speaker 1: I don't know whether you call him the orthopedic sort.
- 25:22Speaker 1: He is northopedic surgeon, but um, I'm lost. Doc Dr
- 25:28Speaker 1: Kaplan said, the only way that you truly heal hamstring
- 25:32Speaker 1: is rest. You stretch it and you treat it and
- 25:34Speaker 1: all of that, but rest is what gets it back.
- 25:37Speaker 1: But you could rest it as they did with Fred,
- 25:38Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks and then here you go again.
- 25:41Speaker 1: So we're not joking when we say It'll be a
- 25:44Speaker 1: story until it's not. It's liable to be a story
- 25:47Speaker 1: even if he plays Sunday. It's liable to be a
- 25:49Speaker 1: story again, is it? Or Yead's bothered me again? Going
- 25:54Speaker 1: to sit out this week? You know, let it rest.
- 25:57Speaker 1: It's liable to be something that we talk about all
- 25:59Speaker 1: season long. It's just a hamstring with a running back.
- 26:01Speaker 1: Just Is doesn't go away. But no, no strategy in
- 26:04Speaker 1: this one other than getting it back on the field.
- 26:06Speaker 1: Is importance to the offense? Yes, all right, let's go
- 26:09Speaker 1: to Bill from Florida, oh Man. A close win. It
- 26:13Speaker 1: gets a mediocre Giants team, a good win over and
- 26:16Speaker 1: obviously very weak Patriots team, and an ugly loss on
- 26:19Speaker 1: a very injured Titans team. Is it time to tap
- 26:22Speaker 1: the brakes a bit on all of the super Bowl talk? Well,
- 26:25Speaker 1: it's always time to tap the brakes and super Bowl
- 26:27Speaker 1: talk until you get to December. But not because of
- 26:32Speaker 1: what the reader said. The super Bowl. I mean teams
- 26:37Speaker 1: start off, stop and start Okay, not okay, this is
- 26:44Speaker 1: an NFL start. There's a couple of teams that have
- 26:47Speaker 1: had unbelievable starts Kansas City, Sandels Ramps. But guess what
- 26:52Speaker 1: in two weeks. I was gonna go to Kings City
- 26:54Speaker 1: and win, and everyone's gonna be talking about, Oh my goodness,
- 26:56Speaker 1: what's Kansas City? What's wrong with Kansas City? They played
- 26:59Speaker 1: this great defense and now they can't solve it. That
- 27:02Speaker 1: could easily happen and then all of a sudden, the
- 27:03Speaker 1: wheels will be off in Kansas City. Something will happen
- 27:05Speaker 1: to the Rams. Well, the Rams are gonna play without
- 27:08Speaker 1: their starting two corners on Thursday night against the Vikings,
- 27:10Speaker 1: and that happens. The Daggons are playing without Leonard for
- 27:13Speaker 1: Nett their offense. How close were the uh Jaguar's Super
- 27:19Speaker 1: Bowl last year? Brian six minutes and thirty two seconds.
- 27:23Speaker 1: Were they any different in Week three? No? No, in
- 27:27Speaker 1: fact than they are right now. They're better right now.
- 27:29Speaker 1: They were like, there's no doubt. Hey, look we went
- 27:31Speaker 1: through this a bit yesterday. But you know, big win
- 27:33Speaker 1: in Houston, big loss here, huge win in London, you know,
- 27:37Speaker 1: excruciating overtime lost to a Jets team that this team
- 27:40Speaker 1: was better than. Enormous win over Pittsburgh, big loss at
- 27:43Speaker 1: home to the Rams. I mean, if they win on Sunday,
- 27:47Speaker 1: there'll be a game better than they were last year.
- 27:49Speaker 1: It will be a better start to the season than
- 27:52Speaker 1: last year, and the defense is is markedly better. The
- 27:55Speaker 1: case I make for the defense is this, Brian. Last
- 27:58Speaker 1: year against Tennessee, tight game, war down, ending up, blowing
- 28:01Speaker 1: out of the building out here. This year, tight game
- 28:04Speaker 1: against Tennessee. A couple of things they could have done differently,
- 28:06Speaker 1: but but they kept in it. Never gave up a field.
- 28:08Speaker 1: I mean, I never give up. But more than a field,
- 28:10Speaker 1: this is a better defense than it was last year.
- 28:12Speaker 1: I don't care what the sack numbers say. Um. There
- 28:15Speaker 1: are occasionally teams in the NFL they come roaring out
- 28:19Speaker 1: of the box, which is what we hope the Jaguars
- 28:22Speaker 1: would do last week. Get that three and oh, start,
- 28:24Speaker 1: get it to four and oh, all of a sudden,
- 28:25Speaker 1: you feel good, you're flexing the muscle. But the list
- 28:32Speaker 1: of Super Bowl champions over fifty years is littered with
- 28:37Speaker 1: teams that stopped and started early, those seven and O teams.
- 28:42Speaker 1: That's great, but you've got to be playing well in December.
- 28:45Speaker 1: That's when it matters. You stay afloat until you get
- 28:47Speaker 1: to the lateness. I made the comparison to this defense.
- 28:49Speaker 1: I thought they could be like the Ravens were in
- 28:51Speaker 1: two thousand and and the comparison between the teams makes sense.
- 28:54Speaker 1: Strong running game, right, a quarterback that's not that featured
- 28:57Speaker 1: Peyton Manning Tom Brady kind of guy, and a great defense.
- 29:01Speaker 1: They gave up thirty six points in Week two. Right.
- 29:03Speaker 1: As great as they were, they have the single single
- 29:05Speaker 1: season record for fewest points allowed in a sixteen game schedule.
- 29:09Speaker 1: Right gave up sixty two yards rushing per game. They
- 29:12Speaker 1: were gashed early and gave up big points in Week
- 29:15Speaker 1: one and week two. It wasn't until Week four that
- 29:18Speaker 1: they started to get their groups. So absolutely, um, you know,
- 29:21Speaker 1: I play amateur psychologist at public at the boy Scout
- 29:25Speaker 1: meeting last night to a bunch of dads that want
- 29:26Speaker 1: to talk about this, and I say, wait a second,
- 29:29Speaker 1: you're jumping overboard because of one bad performance. Hold on,
- 29:32Speaker 1: there will be other bad performances this year. This is
- 29:35Speaker 1: not a sixteen and no team at no team in
- 29:37Speaker 1: this league is a sixteen and no team you mentioned
- 29:39Speaker 1: that there will be teams that will stumble. In Kansas City.
- 29:42Speaker 1: They have a prolific looking offense, but their defense is
- 29:45Speaker 1: thirty second that's not gonna hold up and play a
- 29:48Speaker 1: defense yet exactly. So take a deep breath, remember the
- 29:52Speaker 1: things about this team that are at strengths. Understand the inconsistencies,
- 29:56Speaker 1: and we saw some of that last week, and relax
- 29:58Speaker 1: a little bit. Now get I will say, you can't
- 30:02Speaker 1: play like he did last week and think that you're
- 30:04Speaker 1: gonna go all the way. But but I don't think
- 30:06Speaker 1: anybody expects that they're going to play that way consistently.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Like he keeps saying, is what's the calling card? Why
- 30:12Speaker 1: do you think they have a chance to win the
- 30:13Speaker 1: Super Bowl above anything else because of their defense? Defense?
- 30:16Speaker 1: Has the defense let you down yet? So that's still there.
- 30:20Speaker 1: I can't imagine there's gonna be very many games where
- 30:22Speaker 1: this team is not in it late. As bad as
- 30:24Speaker 1: they parted on offense, they were in it late. There's
- 30:27Speaker 1: gonna be four or five six games like that the
- 30:29Speaker 1: Giants games sort of, But there might be three or
- 30:31Speaker 1: four games like that. Well, they're gonna win a couple
- 30:34Speaker 1: like that, they might lose a couple like that. The
- 30:37Speaker 1: defense is going to set them up to have a
- 30:38Speaker 1: few blows like they did last year. I really this
- 30:40Speaker 1: seems gonna get to tennery leven wins. It's can they
- 30:43Speaker 1: get this running game in the offense dynamic like they
- 30:46Speaker 1: think it can be by late in the season. At
- 30:48Speaker 1: no point on Sunday did I think that the Tennessee
- 30:51Speaker 1: Titans were going to score a touchdown. At no point.
- 30:53Speaker 1: Now it became a parent the Jaguars weren't going to
- 30:55Speaker 1: score one either, So it was a matter off could
- 30:57Speaker 1: they get field position and get and get a field
- 30:59Speaker 1: golden you know, perhaps get overtime and get the ball
- 31:01Speaker 1: and get another field goal. But at no point did
- 31:04Speaker 1: I think the Tennessee was going to find the end zone.
- 31:07Speaker 1: And when I look at this Jets team, I see
- 31:09Speaker 1: some weapons and a rookie quarterback, but I could see
- 31:12Speaker 1: the Jaguars keeping them out of the end zone. Also,
- 31:15Speaker 1: the last time the Jaguars gave up a touchdown when
- 31:17Speaker 1: leading less by ten, when leading by less than ten
- 31:21Speaker 1: no New England last year. They haven't done it this year.
- 31:24Speaker 1: That's a nice statan, Thank you, Ashley. Oh, you're welcome.
- 31:27Speaker 1: That's what I did, all right. Last one, let's go
- 31:30Speaker 1: to Jordan's from Jacksonville. We have zero vertical passing game.
- 31:34Speaker 1: Do you think we can find a way to stretch
- 31:36Speaker 1: the field? Well, I nd you to this real quick
- 31:39Speaker 1: with that Austin Seferian Jenkins down the scene. Yeah, yeah, vertical,
- 31:45Speaker 1: and I think it's a chicken in the egg thing. Um,
- 31:50Speaker 1: can they get the running game going enough to make
- 31:53Speaker 1: defenses respect it and then give you a chance to
- 31:55Speaker 1: have vertical passing game. It's gonna be tough for this
- 31:57Speaker 1: offense to have vertical passing game if the opposing defense
- 32:03Speaker 1: isn't worried about what's going on over here? What's going
- 32:06Speaker 1: on over here? Do after we got you know, if
- 32:08Speaker 1: all they're doing is saying, well, we don't really believe
- 32:10Speaker 1: that you're gonna be just with the running games, we're
- 32:11Speaker 1: gonna protect against that, well, then you're gonna see a
- 32:13Speaker 1: lot of games like the Titans. I think Austin Severian
- 32:16Speaker 1: Jenkins with the running game opens up that vertical passing
- 32:19Speaker 1: game because hey, in the middle takes the safety's attention
- 32:22Speaker 1: and now you've got Keeling Cole and Dante Moncreef food
- 32:25Speaker 1: just have to win, right, all things consider, You go
- 32:28Speaker 1: back to the Steelers game, like you just mentioned with
- 32:30Speaker 1: Kayak and O'Shaughnessy, how much that opened up Ye, yep,
- 32:33Speaker 1: it's all built on the running game. That's why they
- 32:34Speaker 1: took Leondard for net number four overall. Right, so hey,
- 32:38Speaker 1: we'll take a break. When we return, we've got Ashland
- 32:41Speaker 1: asks in top tweets are broadcast today, brought to you

- 34:16Speaker 1: Welcome back to Jack Drive Time on this Wednesday morning,
- 34:19Speaker 1: and update of the Twitter poll, Neck and Neck who
- 34:23Speaker 1: is most impactful newcomers so far? Andrew Norwell A s J. John.
- 34:29Speaker 1: We have a few comments of Ronnie Harrison. Your vote
- 34:33Speaker 1: pretty competitive. You haven't commented Bolt like you said you
- 34:36Speaker 1: were going to. Oh, he's kind of no doubt about it.
- 34:42Speaker 1: All right? Are we ready for Ashlan asks? I have
- 34:45Speaker 1: some good ones. They were, as John likes to say,
- 34:49Speaker 1: we were born ready. All right, let's start with some
- 34:51Speaker 1: football on a serious matter. If you had to pick
- 34:55Speaker 1: one player who needs to step up and have a
- 34:58Speaker 1: big week, who is it? Most likely an offensive player?
- 35:03Speaker 1: I'm guessing there's a few like portals, the quarterback, wide receivers, Keeling,
- 35:10Speaker 1: Cole Westbrook. John's going defense intriguing? Oh maybe not a
- 35:20Speaker 1: racing Brian stumped you. Um, I'm gonna cheat. You're cheating?
- 35:29Speaker 1: Oh good, all right, John, let's see it. I like cheer.
- 35:38Speaker 1: Oh me, I'm gonna saying Marcel Darius and the reason
- 35:44Speaker 1: I was saying. Marcell Darius said, right, I'm laughing at you.
- 35:48Speaker 1: Don't know what Camper will look at you so confused?
- 35:50Speaker 1: I never have I lived that way. Um he uh.
- 35:55Speaker 1: It's easy to say offense and there are many offensive
- 35:58Speaker 1: players that have a big game Mars sol Darius. Remember
- 36:01Speaker 1: when he got on board last year, the run defense
- 36:05Speaker 1: took a huge step up hundred and thirty eight rushing
- 36:07Speaker 1: yards per game allowed to look at Sammy stat it's what.
- 36:15Speaker 1: I don't believe that the Jets will be nearly as
- 36:17Speaker 1: effective running the ball with Marcel in there. I don't
- 36:20Speaker 1: know that it's all on him to stop the run. Um.
- 36:23Speaker 1: I don't believe that the Jaguars are gonna win this
- 36:27Speaker 1: game by coming out and all of a sudden going
- 36:29Speaker 1: into the run and shoot. I think they'll play better
- 36:31Speaker 1: on offense. But I think if they play better on offense,
- 36:34Speaker 1: it will be a result of the defense getting things going.
- 36:37Speaker 1: I think the defense gets things going, it's got to
- 36:39Speaker 1: stop the run first to get a chance to get
- 36:41Speaker 1: after Sam Donald, So I think his addition and then
- 36:44Speaker 1: being a better run defense will be the reason they
- 36:47Speaker 1: win this game. I think they win big and in
- 36:49Speaker 1: effort to diversify the show. I'm going to go to
- 36:51Speaker 1: the easy side and go offense, but I'm gonna say positions,
- 36:54Speaker 1: so that is not one person. No, it's like nine
- 36:58Speaker 1: people at the whole. Hold on, now, if you let
- 37:01Speaker 1: me interpret, you'll understand where I'm going here. Uh. Not
- 37:03Speaker 1: knowing whether Net's gonna play or how healthy t. J.
- 37:07Speaker 1: Yeldon is, my thought is is that either of the
- 37:11Speaker 1: other two running backs, Grant or Wild, has to be productive.
- 37:14Speaker 1: I don't know what productive is. Let's say converting two
- 37:18Speaker 1: or three third and shorts right. Um. The other is
- 37:22Speaker 1: whoever gets Leonard Williams has their hands full with a
- 37:26Speaker 1: monstrous talent, a guy who can disrupt the game. I
- 37:29Speaker 1: want to say, Norwell, but I don't know where Leonard
- 37:31Speaker 1: Williams is going to line up. I want to say,
- 37:32Speaker 1: Chris Read if he's playing for a j can Again,
- 37:35Speaker 1: don't know where he's going to line up. So wherever
- 37:38Speaker 1: big Leonard lines up number nine two in your program,
- 37:41Speaker 1: the offensive lineman is going to have to be prepared.
- 37:44Speaker 1: Let me translate Brian's answer here. I was trying to
- 37:51Speaker 1: narrow it down for times to play better than last
- 37:55Speaker 1: week where they didn't get into the red zone. Right,
- 37:57Speaker 1: she's one guy? Is that I will agree with that?
- 38:00Speaker 1: You're right, No, it is true. It is factual. Thank
- 38:02Speaker 1: you very well. Let you get away with its. Wait
- 38:04Speaker 1: if it's factual, are you letting me get away with it?
- 38:07Speaker 1: Or did I you didn't follow the rules, blew that
- 38:09Speaker 1: one out of the water section, but it was correct.
- 38:12Speaker 1: All right. Now we're going to see if you guys
- 38:14Speaker 1: have been playing paying attention to Jaguar's f a Q
- 38:17Speaker 1: the Tributes show sweeping the nation. You weren't aware, John,
- 38:21Speaker 1: We're going past episodes and present episodes because you're on
- 38:25Speaker 1: that show. It's to the point of obsession with me. Actually,
- 38:27Speaker 1: I watch it as I'm waking up, as I'm going
- 38:31Speaker 1: to sleep. So maybe some of those views that you're
- 38:33Speaker 1: getting or not distinct separate people. I have a feeling
- 38:37Speaker 1: he's lying. That's okay, alright? Who on offense? You can
- 38:41Speaker 1: play the saxophone and the tuba. Oh he's gone, he's
- 38:47Speaker 1: not gone. Ben Koyak could do. Yes, he's gone. This
- 38:51Speaker 1: is a present offensive player. So who's a band guy?
- 38:57Speaker 1: So you would think I think I thought too that
- 38:59Speaker 1: I would go the obvious, But it's not the obvious.
- 39:02Speaker 1: There's a clue. It's a clue. We mentioned him in
- 39:05Speaker 1: the show earlier. Max just gave me a clue, and
- 39:08Speaker 1: that's going to give it away on offense, brianie got it?
- 39:15Speaker 1: Oh no, no, I don't have it. Well, let's see it.
- 39:18Speaker 1: Let's see the guess. I would see why you would
- 39:21Speaker 1: think that, but because you said it wasn't the obvious,
- 39:24Speaker 1: so I want the absolute opposite direction. But no, right,
- 39:29Speaker 1: if Jeremy Parnell did play the saxophone, that would be
- 39:32Speaker 1: something we'd have to get that a camera. Yeah, hey,
- 39:34Speaker 1: to see that, it is sort of a guess, ding
- 39:39Speaker 1: ding ding. Well done, John, he seems like kind of
- 39:43Speaker 1: renaissance man. Right, and Brian spelled Jeremy. Right. I'll win
- 39:47Speaker 1: for both of you. I learned from my mistakes. Yes, John,
- 39:52Speaker 1: I'm impressed. He's cool. He seems like it's because his
- 39:57Speaker 1: father play the saxophone in the tuba. I just to
- 40:00Speaker 1: go on record, you guys know that, Um I was
- 40:02Speaker 1: a big Marcedes Lewis guy. I enjoyed talking to him
- 40:06Speaker 1: because I always got something. Of course, eleven years in
- 40:09Speaker 1: the locker room, you you can forge your relationship with
- 40:11Speaker 1: people like you can't with someone who's there for two
- 40:13Speaker 1: or three? Uh? And Marcedes, I thought was really good.
- 40:17Speaker 1: This guy is fantastic. When you talk to him, you
- 40:21Speaker 1: learned something. You obviously learned that he could play two instruments.
- 40:25Speaker 1: I just I appreciate the way that he does his job.
- 40:28Speaker 1: He's a good player, he's a good representative in the
- 40:30Speaker 1: locker room. And clearly he is a musical, interesting guy.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Man of many traits, right John, just like you? And
- 40:41Speaker 1: yes and yes? All right, now, we're going to a
- 40:45Speaker 1: little teaser for this week's episode. I'm not going to
- 40:47Speaker 1: give away the whole episode, but here's a question. Which
- 40:50Speaker 1: Jaguar has a twin brother. I'm not giving any clues
- 40:56Speaker 1: of offense or defense, not briant sex. And he doesn't count.
- 41:04Speaker 1: My mom says, I count, I do have a twin brother. Hi,
- 41:09Speaker 1: Terry was very smart by the way, um twins. I
- 41:19Speaker 1: laid that out there for you. Never let it be
- 41:22Speaker 1: said that you won't take the easy layup Molly Jackson.
- 41:27Speaker 1: I won't say if that's correct or not yet because
- 41:29Speaker 1: John has not even answer. Can you participate in the game? Yeah? Also,
- 41:36Speaker 1: I mean I'm just dying Sexton. If you put that down,
- 41:38Speaker 1: it's right a right. It is right. I have a
- 41:41Speaker 1: twin brother. If you have no clues, I'm just gonna
- 41:43Speaker 1: get it. That's incorrect. I was right on both counts.
- 41:46Speaker 1: I do have a twin brother. And you would have
- 41:47Speaker 1: been right if you put it down. But if you
- 41:50Speaker 1: had narrowed it down to which player in the locker
- 41:51Speaker 1: room Millie Jackson, Mollie Jackson, thank you? Yes, I was
- 41:54Speaker 1: gonna say Millie Jackson, all right, and yet you wrote
- 41:57Speaker 1: t J Yeldon. I'm going to have to give this
- 42:00Speaker 1: one a John. I'm sorry, but he got the first
- 42:03Speaker 1: answer correct too. What was the first one? He chose
- 42:08Speaker 1: one player? Well, you chose an entire unit. Crap, that
- 42:11Speaker 1: is opinion only. You can't get him right. He got
- 42:13Speaker 1: one right, I got one right, So you can give
- 42:15Speaker 1: it to him, but I'm giving it to me victory.
- 42:18Speaker 1: Then all right, that's all I have for Ashland. Ask
- 42:24Speaker 1: next week you'll get him. So I got him this week.
- 42:28Speaker 1: So just to clarify, I want okay, Yeah he did. Yeah,
- 42:32Speaker 1: I'm pretty good. Who does this show with you five
- 42:34Speaker 1: days a week? You wanted to point that out, but
- 42:38Speaker 1: John big performance today on an opinion you're giving him
- 42:42Speaker 1: the vote on an opinion. That's the point. I can't
- 42:44Speaker 1: follow the rules. Follow all right, That's all I have
- 42:49Speaker 1: for a tweets, tweets, top tweets, all right, where come
- 42:59Speaker 1: by top tweets and NFL headlines? Here a little bit
- 43:03Speaker 1: going with Judy Batista, our friend of NFL network, who
- 43:06Speaker 1: tweeted yesterday. I'm told this morning a number of members
- 43:10Speaker 1: of the Competition Committee are uncomfortable with the roughing the
- 43:12Speaker 1: pass or calls, particularly the claim Matthews one from the
- 43:15Speaker 1: Vikings Game Committee call next week, but members are unsure
- 43:19Speaker 1: if anything will change this year. Yeah. I, um, and
- 43:25Speaker 1: you're on the lone wolf on this. I don't think
- 43:27Speaker 1: it's a bad rule. I think they need to perhaps
- 43:30Speaker 1: clarified a little bit. Uh. I thought this hit in
- 43:34Speaker 1: particular was fine in terms of being a penalty. Um. Wait,
- 43:38Speaker 1: the one of claim Matthews are the one here with
- 43:40Speaker 1: Mollie Jackson, Well, it's different. Uh. The one of Lene
- 43:42Speaker 1: Jackson is lower in the head. They're talking about the
- 43:45Speaker 1: uh coming down with the weight on the player and
- 43:48Speaker 1: not driving into the ground. Um, you might tweak it,
- 43:53Speaker 1: but that rule needs to be in the game because
- 43:55Speaker 1: you can't have hits like the one on Aaron Rodgers
- 43:59Speaker 1: last year the implement of this rule. Perhaps he needs
- 44:01Speaker 1: to be clarified, but on on at least two of
- 44:04Speaker 1: Clay's hits, you can still see where he allowed his
- 44:08Speaker 1: body weight to come down the quarterback. And I think
- 44:11Speaker 1: in the long run they may tweak that, they may
- 44:13Speaker 1: try to get some clarification on it, but I don't
- 44:15Speaker 1: think the rules should be out of the game. Well,
- 44:16Speaker 1: and look, the numbers may not say this, but it
- 44:18Speaker 1: sure feels to me as if the lowering the head
- 44:20Speaker 1: rule is more of a protecting their quarterback. At this point,
- 44:23Speaker 1: we haven't seen it called down the field as much
- 44:26Speaker 1: as we've seen it called in the pocket. So I'll
- 44:28Speaker 1: say this about the roughing the pastor rule encompassing both.
- 44:31Speaker 1: The intent is obviously there, but trying to find the
- 44:34Speaker 1: balance of where that is. I don't think we'll see
- 44:37Speaker 1: much change this year. I know they said yesterday again
- 44:40Speaker 1: more of a feel that they think it might be
- 44:42Speaker 1: called differently. I would be surprised if you're at college
- 44:45Speaker 1: is extensively anymore. That's what I mean by differently. And
- 44:48Speaker 1: and again on on a couple of Clay's I can
- 44:50Speaker 1: see his point, and it is tough when you when
- 44:53Speaker 1: you've been doing something that's the way your whole life.
- 44:56Speaker 1: But there is also the thing they're trying to get
- 44:59Speaker 1: out of the game. Is this idea that you can
- 45:02Speaker 1: get the quarterback at a point in the play where
- 45:05Speaker 1: it's not technically roughing the passer because the ball is
- 45:08Speaker 1: not gone, and then once you've got him, all of
- 45:11Speaker 1: a sudden, you've got this guy in a vulnerable position
- 45:13Speaker 1: and then you drive him now on a On a
- 45:16Speaker 1: couple of plays, he didn't quite do that, but you
- 45:19Speaker 1: can also see where there's a there's a shoulder and
- 45:23Speaker 1: back arch that perhaps could have been. I've been trying
- 45:28Speaker 1: to take it out of the game since Turkey Jones
- 45:30Speaker 1: did Terry Bradshaw. Yeah, but he actually flipped Bradshaw. That's
- 45:34Speaker 1: what I mean. It was that what I mean I
- 45:37Speaker 1: remember when William Refrigerator Perry did it to Neil Lomax
- 45:39Speaker 1: of the St. Louis Football Card was back in the eighties.
- 45:42Speaker 1: I mean, he turned him upside down and just threw
- 45:43Speaker 1: him to the ground, and it's a different game. I
- 45:46Speaker 1: will say this has gone a little reactionary in the
- 45:48Speaker 1: sense that none of the ones I've seen called have
- 45:53Speaker 1: been as obvious as the call that as the it
- 46:00Speaker 1: wasn't called that hurt Rogers last year. But I still
- 46:04Speaker 1: think there is a way to get this rule a
- 46:08Speaker 1: little more clarified but still protect the quarterback. But the
- 46:11Speaker 1: rules should not be out of the game. I agree.
- 46:14Speaker 1: All right, let's go to NFL fantasy football from Sunday
- 46:19Speaker 1: a job at blake Boardles. Of course, when you finally
- 46:21Speaker 1: take the leap and start blake Boardles, use what it
- 46:24Speaker 1: could have should have as your hashtag. Now. I was
- 46:26Speaker 1: reading the comments of this, and this is why I
- 46:28Speaker 1: put it in here. A bunch of these people are
- 46:30Speaker 1: saying because of his throwing motion and his slow wind up,
- 46:33Speaker 1: the three batted balls at the line of scrimmage, how
- 46:36Speaker 1: they're soapset they started Bardles on their fantasy football team,
- 46:40Speaker 1: and I wish I would have put this and take
- 46:41Speaker 1: a deep breath Tuesday last Wednesday. I don't care. I
- 46:44Speaker 1: don't care either. I don't care about your fantasy football
- 46:46Speaker 1: comb We do a little fantasy segment because I think
- 46:48Speaker 1: it's fun, but um, you know, let the buyer be
- 46:51Speaker 1: wear caveat MP tour, as they say in Latin. What
- 46:55Speaker 1: he said? Yeah, alright, last one football is family. We've
- 47:00Speaker 1: heard that saying many times, but this is to be true.
- 47:03Speaker 1: Last week, a J boy was on Good Morning Football
- 47:06Speaker 1: and that's a picture of his daughter Zoe tuning in.
- 47:09Speaker 1: That's cool. Yeah, I love it because when you talk
- 47:12Speaker 1: to a J about his daughter, it's great. His eyes
- 47:15Speaker 1: he lights up, and most parents do, but in particular
- 47:18Speaker 1: in that locker room when you start talking about kids,
- 47:21Speaker 1: he just he wants to go with that conversation. Yeah.
- 47:24Speaker 1: So I we were having a conversation two weeks ago
- 47:27Speaker 1: and I asked, you know, what do you do before
- 47:28Speaker 1: the game. Do you get really tuned into? You come
- 47:30Speaker 1: to the the same early and he goes, no, I go
- 47:32Speaker 1: home and i't watch cartoons with Zoe and completely tunes
- 47:35Speaker 1: out anything football related. That's awesome to see. And that's
- 47:39Speaker 1: all I got for top tweets, Top top tweets. All right,
- 47:43Speaker 1: we'll take a break, our final one of the day
- 47:45Speaker 1: on Jags Drive Time, brought to you by Duval Motors,

- 49:25Speaker 1: the day and get started on this matchup Sunday, the
- 49:28Speaker 1: Jaguars and the Jets here at t i A A
- 49:31Speaker 1: bank Field. The conclusion of a three game homestand one
- 49:35Speaker 1: o'clock kickoff on Box Bryan, Ashlyn and John again this
- 49:44Speaker 1: um asterix and that is is that we look at
- 49:48Speaker 1: the power rankings as fun. Yes, okay, here we go.
- 49:53Speaker 1: Power rankings from me up first. I had the Rams
- 49:57Speaker 1: first last week. Staying with it. I know the Chiefs
- 49:59Speaker 1: have the thirty second ranked defense. Still that offense is
- 50:03Speaker 1: achieving right now at a very high level. As John mentioned,
- 50:05Speaker 1: they haven't played a defense yet. Um, the Eagles yourself evident.
- 50:10Speaker 1: I go with the Saints at four because of the
- 50:13Speaker 1: overtime win on the road. I know their defense isn't
- 50:15Speaker 1: played up to a very high level yet this year,
- 50:18Speaker 1: but we know what they're capable of, and when you've
- 50:19Speaker 1: got Drew Brees, you can pull off wins like that.
- 50:22Speaker 1: I slide the Jaguars down, keeping the top five. My
- 50:27Speaker 1: power rankings are similar, except I flipped Saints in Eagles.
- 50:31Speaker 1: I think because of Drew Brees. That's huge overtime win
- 50:34Speaker 1: like you mentioned, and then I think they beat the
- 50:35Speaker 1: Giants this week. I think they stay on that winning momentum.
- 50:39Speaker 1: But I kind of wish I would have put the
- 50:40Speaker 1: Dolphins in there. Now that I'm looking at it. I've
- 50:42Speaker 1: been pretty impressed with them. Teaser to John's Power rankings. Yeah,
- 50:49Speaker 1: I mean I have the three unbeaten teams at the
- 50:52Speaker 1: top because you know, if you haven't lost, you're pretty
- 50:54Speaker 1: good to me after three weeks. Uh. In itsly, if
- 50:58Speaker 1: you haven't lost, you're okay. Uh. I think I put
- 51:00Speaker 1: the Jaguars eight, maybe nine, um, mainly because I had
- 51:04Speaker 1: I had to have somebody to get the Titans over them,
- 51:07Speaker 1: because they won on the road, and the Titans won
- 51:09Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. They have the same record. So I had
- 51:12Speaker 1: a tough time keeping the Jaguars high because I believe
- 51:16Speaker 1: if if if you beat a team on the road
- 51:18Speaker 1: and you have a similar record to them, then you're
- 51:21Speaker 1: better right then. So I think the Titans are better
- 51:23Speaker 1: than the Jaguars right now. I don't. I don't think
- 51:24Speaker 1: it will be the case by the end of the season,
- 51:26Speaker 1: but right now, I couldn't put the Jaguars in the
- 51:28Speaker 1: top five, so I'm sure it'll be very hurt by that.
- 51:30Speaker 1: Why the Chiefs over the Rams um mainly because I
- 51:39Speaker 1: think they've looked better so far. Uh. They've been more
- 51:43Speaker 1: impressive in dynamics so far. Uh. And I think the
- 51:47Speaker 1: Rams would look more a schedule in front of me,
- 51:49Speaker 1: but I thought they had perhaps one when there was
- 51:52Speaker 1: a little more impressive than the Rams. But so far
- 51:55Speaker 1: the Rams beating in Arizona. They came back on. Uh,
- 51:59Speaker 1: they've the Raiders, the Raiders, Chargers and Chargers and Chargers.
- 52:04Speaker 1: What were the Chargers? Yeah, the Chargers tend to dig
- 52:06Speaker 1: themselves into a hole early, though I put the Rams.
- 52:08Speaker 1: I put the Rams first because I think their offense
- 52:11Speaker 1: and their def I think they look like a more
- 52:12Speaker 1: complete team. Wasn't the was the Steelers they want at Pittsburgh? Right?
- 52:17Speaker 1: Who did? Yeah? Yeah, So road wins for me tend
- 52:21Speaker 1: to carry some weight over a team that I get.
- 52:24Speaker 1: The Steelers haven't been all that, but they you know
- 52:27Speaker 1: it's uh, it was close, but a road wind. When
- 52:31Speaker 1: I'm looking for a way to clarify power rankings, I'll
- 52:34Speaker 1: sometimes go with a recent road win. Well, it's still
- 52:37Speaker 1: early and obviously those are just men for your enjoyment.
- 52:41Speaker 1: Anything else to add before we sign off? That's all
- 52:43Speaker 1: I got. Phone, have anything or I think you woke
- 52:48Speaker 1: Siri up because you're pounding the table. You were being
- 52:51Speaker 1: so emphatic. Yeah, I'll emphasize things now, Siri, Hey Si,
- 52:58Speaker 1: we're good. There's nothing to say there, you bunch of nothing.
- 53:02Speaker 1: But basically I was going to say, what would you
- 53:03Speaker 1: like to say to the ozone A good day? I
- 53:06Speaker 1: don't know if we want to know that answer the
- 53:09Speaker 1: series curse she might with that question. Alright, that'll do
- 53:13Speaker 1: it for Joe Fortunato and mad Max Hawkman, have a
- 53:15Speaker 1: wonderful day. Happy Hour comes your way four o'clock this afternoon.
- 53:18Speaker 1: Don't forget the Jaggs Drive time pole on Twitter
