  Speaker 1: Jaguars. Did you don't Jack Jack Warris? Did you know
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Jack Warris drive time? Ryan Sex texted, John says, actually,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Jaguarris drive time starts right now. Collectively at the team,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: that's a big team win. It's hard to win on
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the road in the NFL. Okay, it's difficult to tell
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Opening Day all of the motions and everything. Okay, but
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: let's make sure that we're coming back to work cleaning
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: things up, because we know that we're a hell of
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: a lot better than that. But at the end of
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the day, what are we about winning? You guys want congratulations?
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Break it down. Hey, um, I have a little insight
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: into that. That was a big smile, a really big smile,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: even though you only kind of got the side profile
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: there of of Marone in the Jaguars locker room post game.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I talked to him about an hour before the game.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I was standing there with Dan Hicken from Action Sports,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and Doug came up to have the conversation and I said,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: any Open Day memories at all, I mean, anything that
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: stands out? He said, I hate Opening Day, And you
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: know he was in here and he kind of had
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: little thoughts. He didn't share this on on Friday with
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: coffee with the coach. But what he said was, you
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: really truly don't know what to expect, especially with the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: new coaching staff for the Giants and new personnel. You know,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: we can only go so far. Looking at Minnesota tape,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Shermer's time with the Browns, SA Kwan Barkley's time at
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Penn's Day, you know how the Knickney Lions used him.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: He said, it really is about jumping into the fire
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: um And you know John had been talking about it
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: all week, and that is Opening Day is a completely
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: different animal, right, And I think that we've proved what
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: we thought this team was a dominant defense and offense
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: powered by Blake running and just finding a way to
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: win well. And look, I mean it's people don't necessarily
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: want to go to this this morning. Folks who have
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: followed the NFL for a long time do and that
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: is is that just find a way to win, right.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: It may not be pretty, the defense may give up
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a big run. More on that to come, but you know, relax,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: take the win, regroup, go play again in In in
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that respect, it's a lot like March madness in college basketball.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: You just survive in advance on to the next week.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Put yourself in a position to be in first place,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: all alone in the a f C South. That's where
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars are this morning. Hey, let's start things out
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: as we always do with our Jags Drive Time poll
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: on Twitter, brought to you by Exfinity. Who's your Exfinity
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Player of the game from Sunday's win over the Giants?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Miles Jack for the thirty two yard interception return probably
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: put a B. Jones there in in parentheses right for
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: tipping that ball. Was a great play on his part.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: T J. Yeldon who made that eleven yard touchdown, Ketch,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Buried Church, who had a couple of big plays, or
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: is someone else in your mind is the Exfinity player
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of the game. That's the Jags Drive Time poll today.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Who you got? I gotta go with Barry Church. I've
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: been saying all morning. I thought he played so well,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and at times it wasn't an explosive athletic play, but
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: he made so many think he made six tackles, and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: just the entire second half, I kept hearing his name
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: on the TV broadcast, Barry Church, Burry Church, Barry Church.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And he's normally not a guy that gets a lot
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: of recognitions. So that was cool to see. Um, I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: might throw this after play portals and people go, well,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: he threw that interception and the you know, you couldn't
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: throw the ball effectively in the second half when the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Giants filled the gaps um the forty one yard run.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: That was awesome. And and the comment afterward is why
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: he gets my vote. And this isn't high school. It
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: was just it was so dry and yet so telling.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: It was great. Uh. And look, hey, they went right
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: back down the field after the interception and John you
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: wrote this, uh and scored a touchdown, they answered, he answered,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that's what he does. The rest of the way, they
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: leaned on their defense, which that's what this team does.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: They play to this defense, and the defense loves it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: In talking to the players in the locker room afterwards,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: so I got I gotta played portals. Yeah, we'll get
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: into it this morning. We're sending a message to you
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that we started on time no matter what. Well, yeah,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: history says that's not the case. But uh, I think
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: that's a shot at you, Max, like Max the Buried Church.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go away from that because Ashton I
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: took it. I'm gonna say buried Church just so it's
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: out there. But d J. Hayden deserves some credit, um,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And I get what the defensive players were saying afterward,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and I talked to a lot of them as you did, Brian,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and there was a feeling of, hey, we had this
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: all the way well on a wet field, when the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Giants are at your thirty six with three minutes to go,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you may have had it all the way, but one
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: slip and in that game is a lot different because
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the office was having trouble moving d J. Hayden with
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a big, big play late, a guy who really has
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: been questioned by fans for no legitimate reason because there's
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: been no reason to question him. But throughout the off
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: season you heard saything I did, Brian, Why does this
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: guy sign? What is he is even gonna be? The
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: nickel corner? Huge play on fourth down? They got in
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the ball back, all right, So we'll go where we
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: always go, and that's big things. But the win yesterday
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: over the Giant sets up a huge week in Jacksonville,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and of course we're excited about it. We'll have it
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: every day on Jack's drive time. Let's get going big
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: all right, big thing one has to be Leonard for
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Nette's lake. So despite him missing most of that game
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: with a hamstring injury, and the postgame press conference, Sudden
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Round said he's easing some people's worries and is optimistic.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know they said it was I mean, they
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: said it wasn't a good part, which I don't know
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: if there's any good part of those things, you know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: So I think that, you know, it's something that he
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: felt like. I know when I talked to him, he's
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: had it before and knows how to treat it. So
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you know that that makes things pretty optimistic, whereas normally
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm not that optimistic. So I asked him one
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: on the sideline, who would know yesterday how do you
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: treat a hamstring? Not Leonards specifically, uh, And he said, look,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: you gotta get an m R I and you got
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to see what it looks like. And then it's about rest.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: You know, they're stretching and there's heat and ice and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: all those protocols. But he said, depending on how it looks,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: they'll decide on what the plan going forward is. So
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: they don't know they're optimistic. Blaced on the part of
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the leg, according to the head coach. But today is
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: gonna be a telling day. Yeah. I have a theory.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: You know, it's not just my theory. But there's no
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: such thing as bad pizza. Um. There's no such thing
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: as a good hamstring for a running back. Um, so
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: this is not great. The fact that he didn't play
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the second half. I don't think anybody would be, you know,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: so bold to say that they expect this to not
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: be something that lingers. Maybe it's not with a hamstring
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: with a running back. I fear it's something that will linger.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: But that's just based on well story gut. Uh. And
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that's and as Doug said, he's not an optimistic guy.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: So maybe it's yeah. Maybe. So you know the guy
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: that I talked to on the sideline yesterday, Uh, he
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: kept saying, it's rest, it's rest, it's rest. You've got
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: to give it. And I go back to when fred
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: tweaked his hamstring in a game against Cincinnati ended up
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: missing six games that year because it just never went away. Well, look,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: we know we watched yesterday as the offense struggled to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: find its personality without him, and by the way, that
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: was a worry of mind this year. Would they be
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: able to do what they do run with power without him?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: And the answer this morning is not really, not really.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: So that's another thing that we could talk about. But
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: it may be that he's not ready to go this
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: week or even next week. Rest is the only way
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that a hamstring is healed is bad pizzas. But onto
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: this team's personality without Leonards right, look, and and we
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: have talked about this. A guy like him, a big
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: back like him, not likely to play sixteen games in
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: a season, not likely because of his running style. So
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you're talking about a team that runs the ball with force.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Now we thought, in limited action we had seen t J.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Yelden do that, but that ain't gonna happen. This goes
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: to Blake. Now he's going to have to throw the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: ball to loosen things up. Well, and there's a lot
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: of anks this morning about well, once the offense left
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the game, I mean once for Net left the game,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the offense dragged and it did. But you gotta remember,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and I think you mentioned earlier, Brian, this team is
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: going to play to its defense. This team never trailed
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: yesterday as a result, it played offense a certain way
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: to protect the lead. Um Fans who were waiting for
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: this team to change its approach in that situation, especially
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: on a rainy field, are gonna be waiting a long time.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: That's the way they're gonna play. They're not going to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: take chances when they have the lead. They're gonna play
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to the defense. They're gonna play the percentages in that situation.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And it's just how it's gonna be. And if you
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: don't like it, then the whole philosophy the organization has
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: to change. That's not gonna happen. However, this week, it's
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: different because you're not playing with the lead from the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: very starts, and you expect Bill Belichick will fill all
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the gaps like he did in the fourth quarter and
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: forced Blake Portals to beat them, which means that Nate
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Hackett and Blake Portals and the offensive staff are gonna
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: have to come up with a game plan ready to
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: go in case Leonard is not ready to go. I mean,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: that's the statement of the obvious. That's what they're going
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to be doing. But there's gonna be some personality adjustments
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: there because the force that Leonard runs with is gone
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: with him. Right. It's just like with Pittsburgh last year.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Different game plans for different situations. I don't you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: they clearly had a game plan yesterday for uh RPO
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: whatever you call. The offense looked very good. Into another game,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: they clearly had a game plan set for that. I
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: think had had Leonard stayed in You've seen more Corey
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: grant Um. But Austin Sierry and Change told me in
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the locker room afterwards, he said, I try to tell
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: everybody how special Leonard looked from afar when I watched
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: him last year. You saw how special he was when
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: he was on the sideline, and we were the same.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: We need that player on the field to make things happen.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: So it'll be a storyline, as do you like to say, John,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: until it isn't. Yeah. Yeah. It was funny though, when
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you guys mentioned t J. Yelden and how the difference
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: in him and Leonard for NET and Doug's postgame press conference,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: he said, I have all the faith in the world
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and t J. Yell. I mean, obviously it's great we
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: have both them on the field, but he he thought
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: he did really well well. And the coach is going
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to say that obviously, and and and should say that,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: and t J had a nice preseason and ramblesome force.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: In fact, I praised him, said, look, I didn't I
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: never saw a guy bigger up top put his shoulder
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: into guys. But he's not the same guy. And this
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: team wasn't the same if it had been they played
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: to the defensire right John. And the weather was certainly
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a factor because it was rainy and miserable all day. Um,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: but t J just didn't. He just isn't the force
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: that Leonard is what second round pick and Leonard was
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the fourth pick of the draft. I still think there's
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: gonna be a point where I forgot I was gonna
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: say it's Monday, that's okay. Um, penalties are going to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: be a theme this week. It hurt yesterday in key situations.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know that we would be as angst written
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: about the fence had if they had got he not
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: taken them out of a couple of key down in
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: distant situations that hurt them able to pick up after
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the forty one yard run, and there was another drive
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: in the second half where they reached certain points where
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: they could have threatened and all of a sudden they're
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: back into third night, Uh, for this offense, because it's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: not gonna get many possessions the way it plays. Little
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: points like that are going to cause a huge perception
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: change after games. Well, and since you mentioned it, there
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: were two penalties on the final drive of the second
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: quarter and two penalties on the first drive of the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: third quarter that kept drives alive and instead of it
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: being thirteen three at the half, all of a sudden,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: it's thirteen six. And then yeah, so last drive of
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the second, first drive of the third they were able
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to get points. And the Jaguars had the face masking
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: penalty and the and the holding penalty on on to
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Sean Gibson, the face masking on Unique and Gawkway in
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the third and then the two uh pass interference penalties
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: against Barry Church and Jalen Ramsey, and those things gave
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: them six points. So you're right, absolutely right. It changes
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the dynamic dramatically when you're gonna play this way, a
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: defensive oriented game like this. Two things that get lost
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: that matter special teams, which I thought were pretty good yesterday.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: The punting wasn't great, but the coverage was good. Uh.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And you can't give away this many yards and penalties
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna want to win this way nineteen yards
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: more than Odell Beckham Jr. Garnered Ah, I like that,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: all right. Big thing too, let's grab it all right.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Big thing too is the defense. Rust defense believes they
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: are the best in the NFL. We know that and
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: they kind of proved it last night. So Jalen Ramsey
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: after the game said that there was never a doubt
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: that this team wasn't going to win. Uh, the game
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: wasn't in doubt, you know, it wasn't we We we
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: go out there with the mindset and were don't win
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: with ards, So it wasn't in doubt for us. But
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: we knew we had to go out there and make
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a play, and we kept on challenging each other like
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: who gonna we don't want to make this play, and
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: it just all happened right then and there. You know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: it was a mouth opportunity and it took full advantage
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: of it. So that was my quite Jalen in the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: locker room, and I asked it because at nine third quarter,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Giants looked like they had a little bit of momentum
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: going had gotten the ball back after the Jaguars offense
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: went three and out. It kind of felt like maybe
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the Giants are gonna threaten on this one. Maybe the weather,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: maybe the injury to four net are gonna compound to
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: give the Jaguars more trouble than it seems. Now. The
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: truth of the matter is is Jalen didn't agree with it.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I asked Malice Jackson the same thing, the exact same
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: question just before Jalen. Here's his response. I mean, I
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: got stuck when you say and end out, I mean
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: they were, we were, we had a pretty good lead
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: on him. Out of defense. We prought ourselves from being
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: able an offense score three points and now. And that's
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: how we truly feel. Um, I'm sorry, I got stuck
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: in here. Well, they're just the idea of you know,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't over yet and you came up
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: with you know, the tip ball and that, you know.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I know, but you get my point though, I mean,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: you came up with a play. It's tough to score
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: on defense. You guys do it routinely. That's one of
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: those things we just we just go off to the ball,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you know that whole day? Eli, Man, it was kind
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: of side on them passes in the big gap and
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: uh A. Finally saw Um came back on the rush
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: which we purchased on all the time, put his hands
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: in the air and Jack wasn't down, so we were
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: able to get the pick and just take it and go.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Jack wasn't down. I just missed that. I missed that
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: one yesterday. But by the way, if I had shoulders
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and deltoys like that, I would never wear shirt. By
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the way, just just throwing that other um. I talked
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: to Telvin, I talked to a J Boyer, I talked
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to to Sean Gibson afterwards, and I threw this athem.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a doubt you made to play there, like, Look,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: it was never in doubt. And to a point, they're right.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: It didn't feel like the Giants were really gonna threaten
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: this ball game. Um, But you know it was in
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the back of your head you just thought, okay, can
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: they make this happen. Well, it's it's a tricky mindset
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: for us as observers and author fans in there too
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: to accept that for a team with a defense like this,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and it's like an work every time if you're only
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: four point that occasionally other team is going to get
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: a score and go ahead. But the way this team
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: thinks and approaches it if it has a four point lead,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: and it's a different thing than a three point lead
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: because you can't get tied with the field goal if
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: they believe they're protecting the end zone and have to
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: keep a team from scoring a touchdown to win. Think
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: about the Buffalo game last year. UH a seven point
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: lead in that game and they played the entire second
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: half or after the Koyak touchdown. They played with the
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: confidence as if this game is over me, and the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: way they played offense took no chances put in the
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: hands of the defense. Um, it's not going to be
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: something that fills everybody with ease, but this team is
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: going to believe that a four point lead is something
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: that's going to hold. You heard the mindset, and there's
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a disconnect there between how we watch that game and
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: how they're thinking of it as they play it. And
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I think you heard it in the locker room. This
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: team wins with defense, and there is a different mindset
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: when that happens. Then you see in most of an
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: offensive oriented National football league right now, you know, the
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: numbers also had people wondering about how dominant the defensive
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: performance was so um. Odell Beckham Junior Eleven catches for
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: hundred eleven yards, but he never got free, and the
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Jaguars had a They went between man and zone throughout
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: the game. And by the way, there's a great article
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: and Sports illustrated that all this. I was on the sideline.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I watched as they literally crashed Shepherd into Jalen. It
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: was a pick at the line of scrimmage, right. They
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: did that several times. They worked to get Odell Beckham
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Junior free as often as they could, as many ways
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: as they could, and he met some catches, but at
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: no point did it feel like Odell Beckham Jr. Was
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: in control of the game. And the secondary made sure
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: to point that out afterwards. The same thing with the
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: running game. Uh, they really kept Barkley in check. And
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: then a bad tackle attempted by Calais Campbell, a mis
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: tackle by Miles Jack and a bad angle by two
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Shaun Gibson and Boom, the second overall pick in the draft,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: made him pay. Those things happen. They really controlled those
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: two guys, despite what the numbers say. Well, I had
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: said before the game, if they only let Barkley get
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: off twice. Uh, that would be good because it was
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: such a unique situation, never having seen anything this kid
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: had done that there was gonna be different looks that
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: he gave you. They didn't get off once. It had
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: been better not to have be a sixty eight yard touchdown.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: They almost solved that almost got him out of bounds.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: If they had got him out of bounds at the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: very end of that run went to Shawn had a chance,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: then that sort of fits the formula of Okay, he's
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: gonna get out a couple of times and he's not
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: gonna kill you. I thought the defense on Beckham was very,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: very good for the most part because of this eleven
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: catches for Henry eleven yards when clearly so much of
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: what the Giants were doing, as you said, was designed
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: to get him the ball. As much as they dedicated
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: their offense to getting him the ball, he should have
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: had a hundred eight nine yards sort of like Antonio
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Brian did against U in Steelers game last year, where
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry Antonio brown Um. They made such an effort
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: in that game last year, if you remember in Pittsburgh,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: to get him the ball that he got yards but didn't.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: It didn't feel like he affected the game. Similar this
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: week tobecc and they really tried to get him the
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: ball big time for him to only I say, only
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: have eleven for ten. It's about a ten yard average.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think if you're if you're talking to Giants
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: people today, I don't think that's the way to return
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: they wanted on that investment. If you take away the
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: sixty eight yard run, you can't but just look at
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: the body of work on Barkley. They controlled him except
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: for that one. It wasn't the difference maker. By the way,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the following play, the two point conversion the stag there
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I mean on Kwon Barkley, who if you couldn't tell,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: is going to be a powerful force in the NFC East.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: One more player on defense that has to be mentioned
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: before we forget, and that's one more stat leading to
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a player. The jack got two sacks yesterday. They got
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of pressure and then Manning was very good
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: at of awaiting it. And that's that's a veteran play. Yeah,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: here's the thing unique and Gockway was there within an instant.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: And Nate Solder, who gave him trouble in New England
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: when he was with the Patriots last year, had a
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: holding call against him, was holding him throughout the game.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: His length really negated unique. You had to take that
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: extra step to get around those six nine those arms
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: to get to him. I thought in Gockway was very
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: close on several occasions, and the pressure on the interception
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: and the pressure was forcing the absolutely the pressure. Just
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: one more guy. Marcel Darius on a couple of plays
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: in the first half on the screen out to see
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley and as Barkley ran to the outside, here's
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: three twenty pounds chasing him down and pulling down two
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: pound back and he was a man of that size,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: he looked so to get close to no, no, no, nothing,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: You're right chasing him down the field to uh, Marcel
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Darius played a way of a game. So on a
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Big Thing three. Big Thing three is a very very
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: big week. So despite them just winning a big time
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: football game and opening day, Miles Ox said, I'm already
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: looking forward to next week. I want to think too
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: far ahead because you want to enjoy this still after
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: what happened last year, the touchdown that they took away
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: from you or almost touchdowns. Yeah, um yeah, it's definitely
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: on my mind. Man. As soon as that cloud hit
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: double there, I was already thinking about New England. So
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I cannot wait for that game. And I'm looking forward
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: to Jacksonville being out there. Uh, they will, They'll be
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: out there. The amount of miles jack wasn't down signs.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: I don't even think you're able to count them. Yeah,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: it's good stuff, and it's good stuff to hear on
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the league sort of dropped that in the locker room.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Malik is a troublemaker. He It's funny. And
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: they had Telvin and then Miles next to each other
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: and Telvin talked and then I just turned to Miles
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: and somehow Malik got in the middle of it and
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: said to me, you know, the game was never in
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: doubt as he was using someone's deodor and then walking away.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean, Malik is he's he's an instigator.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I love that about him, is that he's willing to
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: get in. Then that comes smile and talk to the cameras.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Um that death and another line. It was funny. Telvin
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: was talking to the media about how well we knew
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: before we talked before the series that it was going
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: to be an interception and I think it may have
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: been before the play, and he goes, hey, was it
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: before the play? Mole He goes, yeah, it sounds good.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Go with that. So it's like sometimes the things they
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: say in the locker room you want, well, I know,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: I can I confirm it, though I was standing there
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: on the sideline is they all bunched up to go
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: back out on defense. And Telvin turned and said, this
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: is it. We take it, we take it, we score,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: we take it, we score. Um and I wrote in
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: quick thoughts, Now, there's no way that I believe they
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: were going to just will it into being like that.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Sure enough, a couple of plays later, here you go
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: and there's forty four, who, in his second game at
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: that stadium, has his second touchdown. He had the eighty
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: one yard fumble recovery last year against the Jets. UH
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: ten tackles for Miles Jack yesterday a terrific all around
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: game without the pick six. I think the willing it
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: to happen point and she just made speaks to what
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: we're talking it earlier. Though the number of plays this
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: defense made yesterday, I'm thinking of uh stopping on fourth
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: and two in the second half. UH stopping just short
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: of a first down in the second half, getting off
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: the field with a two point conversion in the second half,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: the two big defensive stops the interception for a touchdown. Um,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: this isn't a normal defense. And when I say that,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I mean there's thirty two teams in the league. So
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: you get used to watching games and you get used
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: to sort of the you know, the average what the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: NFL is. Um, most teams play a certain way because
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: they have to to cover up for defense. They can't
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: do what this defense does. This team is gonna win
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: games on defense. And when you say that, you have
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: to allow that to happen. Ah. So it again gets
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: back to the point. A four point lead for this
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: team is going to feel narrow, but they're going to
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: play like it's level them and they're going to play
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: like that's a huge lead, because the way this defense is,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: it is a huge lead. And that's uneasy for me.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm sort of talking it through because it it
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: sounds so connor, it sounds so counterintuitive, But that's the
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: way they coach it, and that's the way they play it,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: and that's the way it's gonna be gonna be a
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: big week in Jacksonville, A really big week, Miles jack
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: As you heard Malik Jackson say it wasn't down. I
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: think that point will be made in many ways by
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: many people, many times. On Sunday when the Patriots are
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: here for a four kickoff. We've got a lot of
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: time between now and then. We'll take a break and

• 25:03
  Speaker 1: this Monday morning, presented by our friends at Jet Home Loans.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: We have some highlights for you, a few of them,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: A few notable, notable highlights that led to this Big Jaguars.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: When the first one is the second play of the game,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Ortals sets the tone. No Mortals keeps it himself. Mortals
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: across the forty bunch year midfield and he could do
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: that completely fall for it. Watch this wops. Guess who
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: has the ball? Very long yard run. Ray Armstrong is wrong,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Landing Collins is wrong. The watch heck of an athlete.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Now big Strong, powerful one of the did you see
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Austin SUFFERI and Jenkins raise his hands like he's gonna score,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: And shortly after that, Portals goes out of bounds the
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: beautiful combat afterwards. This isn't high school, Yes, Plank, I said,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: were you thinking you were taking into the half? People
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: don't appreciate you? Right, he knew what I was getting exactly.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Not today people do not appreciate his candor. I do
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: when I read that, I almost fell overlapping all right,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: second dry of second drive of the game. That Jaguars
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: are up three to zero, coming off a great defensive stop,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: and Genorris Jenkins just makes an absolute incredible play. Today
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: literary Genorius Churckens say the catchy stay in a ship
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: ship playing Wow, I mean wow, check the foot for yeah,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: you look here. That was just a tremendous play. The
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: ball was slightly underthrown. I get that, but Genorris Jenkins
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: is a very highly paid corner, a top corner in
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: terms of salary and uh, and he reached out and
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: made a great play that was athletic. To say the
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: least you keep yourself in bounce. It probably should have
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: been thrown a foot higher to the outside. At the
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: same time, if if you're down a little further and
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: overthrown it, you're criticizing for not giving the receiver a
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: chance to catch the ball. But Moncrieff perhaps it could
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: have made a more aggressive play over the top. It
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: would be a tough play for Dante. Uh. But yeah,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: that's one of those where to the course of the season,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: you're gonna throw a few of those. Um, if you're
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: taking a chance to let your receiver make a play,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: you're gonna throw a few like that. Where goes the
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: other way? All right? Next offensive drive down the field,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: d D Westbrook two catches and then t J. Yelden
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: steps up extra blocker as well. Nix Tyler Shotley Portals
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: looks for Yell didna get the should touchdown? T J
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Yeldon a one yard pass for Blake Portals. Jack you know,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Doug Morone said last week, Um, maybe it was to
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: us Actually in a production meeting, he made the comment
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: that when a player drops the pass, he wants to
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: go right back to him. And t J had dropped
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: that third down conversion. Uh, if he caught it in
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: on the first drive, he puts the drag wars and
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: first and goal, But he dropped it. And so I
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: wasn't surprised at all that they go right back to
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Yelding and give him a chance to make a big play. Yeah,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: it uh. I was just thinking about this drive when
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: you were talking, Brian, and as you mentioned earlier, it's
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: so speaks to what Blake Bortles does so often right
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: after the interception comes down. I think this was the
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: second drive at in your steps. I think they've already
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: had a field goal after one of them. Three of
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the first four drives were touchdowns. This was a particularly
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: impressive drive for this team because it came right after
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: four Nette was out of the game and Blake started off.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: This was the one where he through a twenty yard
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: passed to Westbrooken in seventeen yard passed, I sproke. It's
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: why I still think I watched the game this morning,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: and some of the play calling in the second half
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I think was down and distance oriented that they didn't
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: want to put themselves in trouble and give the Giants
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: undue opportunities. To me, this drive, the way they're able
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: to respond after for Nette was out is why I
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: think that as they go forward, they will be able
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: to find things that work without for Net in the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: game when they feel pressed to go score. And I
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: think that last phrase is gonna be key for this
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: team when they feel pressed to go score this year,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I think they will call it differently than when they
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: feel like they have a lead and when they feel
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: like they don't have to take risks to give the
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: other team opportunities. They're going to protect this defense because
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: they feel like this defense can win games if it
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: does that. All right, speaking of the defense, Now onto
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the defense. Fourth quarter, second giant stride. Eli Manning goes
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: to say kwon Barkley and it doesn't quite turn out
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: like that. They went to the NFC Championship game and
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: he had to pass the flash cut of that picked
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: off files Chack Jack. We'll chack it all the way
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: four eight chackwars touchdown. Well, Miles Jack will get credit
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: for this interception for a touchdown. But this all started
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: with thin Cockway's rush Onton and you mentioned that. And
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: here is the rush by unique in Gockway working against
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Eric Flowers, and all day long he was close, he
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: was back there. How about Abrey Jones reaching back? I
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: loved his comment. I don't rush the pastor like the
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: other guys do. I gotta contribute some way? Wait did
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: he well? And it forced Eli up into a situation where, yeah,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: this is often where interceptions happen is when the quarterback
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: is forced to do things he doesn't want to do.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Um and he threw it a little low because of
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: the pressure and moved up. Aby got his hand up
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: and it was all she wrote. Once Miles got the ball,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: um a J boy a. I'm not sure if the
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: film shows it. Uh a J thought that he was
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: going to get a pick had it not been tipped.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: He was driving on the ball. So they felt like
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I kept asking, guys, did you know something with the
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: way they had been calling plays they gave you confidence
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: that interception was coming, and all kind of said no.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: I think they just sort of feel of if quarterbacks
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: are gonna throw it us this much, then at some
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: point we're gonna get a pick because we're too good
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: not to. Hey, that works to lots of playmakers on
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: the defensive side of the bowl. About a lot of highlights.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: All right, this ends the game and special teams steps
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: up to end it for Shephard t J hated Jack
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Wars will check over you know, um And afterwards Jalen
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Ramsey was right over there. Remember Ramsey talked about this
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: defense and having Aaron Colvin and a C was this guy,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: and they should pay him. I just kind of watched
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: the dynamic between these two guys. Not to say that
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Jalen was unfriendly or not accepting of his teammate, but
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I wanted to see how he would play. And afterwards,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Jalen was right over there congratulating him as you would
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: think he would be talking about the defense. Hayden stepped
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: into that role firmly with that play, and this defense
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: has complete confidence in him. But you've got to earn
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: your way in. I mean I was sort of watching
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: the same thing during O T A S and training camp,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: and I don't know that I ever saw one point
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: where all of a sudden they were, you know, putting
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: him on his shoulders, and it was one of these
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: well you didn't see, yeah, but you didn't see until
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: training camp fair point. But he um, you did see.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: There were certain times where I would see the group
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: and I would think, Okay, if a C was here,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: they'd all be together because it's five guys you know there. Uh,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: but they have certainly accepted Hayden. And you started hearing
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: at the end of training camp. Uh, they talking about
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Hayden in a way of, Hey, this guy's got some
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: strengths that maybe a C did different players. Maybe there's
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: certain things he does that he can't do that a
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: C did. But a play like that, Um, I think
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: he's better in coverage than Aaron was. And I'm a
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: big Aeron fan, but I think he's better in coverage,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: better for that kind of a play. Uh. And I
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: think that was a big play by him. And the
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: first thing that I thought of yesterday when Hayden broke
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: that pass up was the game in London a few
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: years ago against Buffalo when Aeron Colvin on fourth down
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: broke up the pass that won the ball game. And
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I thought, well, here you go, fourth down, here's the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: slot corner right stepping in and breaking up the past
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: a deep downfield covering on the edge like that. Uh,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Hayden more of an outside corner there, and was He's
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: his skill set fits that play that he made interdent.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: That was a big time play all right. Now, This
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: play is where special teams stepped up and ended the
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: game and over and kicked played all the jacks and
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: we'll put the exclamation point the Jacksonville victory hump ball
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: the field. And you see he missed judged. You know
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: that by him having to go to his knees to
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: try to catch it that in the air. It was
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: doing something well. We didn't talk about Kalen Clay much
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: last week. I mean, he's a punt return guy and
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: a good one at that. But this is a case
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: of a situation at the end of the ball game.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Normally he would have fair caught that, but he was
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: trying to make a play with his team down late
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: in the ball game, and the Jack Wars coverage team
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: was able to take advantage of a credit to them.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: It was the best punt of the day by the
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: rookie Logan Cook and great coverage, but it was one
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: of those situations where Clay was trying to make a
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: play and it cost him. Also, you see DJ Chark
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: there pressuring him. He's right there and he makes the catch.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: He did that a few times. Was Chark was exceptional
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: on special teams. I thought yesterday, at least on the coverage,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: it seemed it's hard because I try to get up
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: and watch the condensed version of the game for a coming.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: That's why I was late by the way. You were
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: working working now, um, and it's hard to watch everything.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: But I thought based on what I saw yesterday from
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: the press box, and I trying to keep an eye
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: on on coverage. I thought kickoff coverage and punt coverage,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: which was a major area that this team wanted to address.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: They didn't feel like they were nearly good enough in
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: those areas last year. It looked like they improved and
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: look they like they played well in that spot. That
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: was such a huge deal because, as I mentioned earlier,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: if if you're gonna win playing this way, you have
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: to be penalty low and you have to play well
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: in special teams. I do feel like they took a
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: step forward on special teams, but not the other way.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: A couple of no obviously not a couple of names
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: to watch on special teams. They brought in Niles Paul
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: and Cody Davis, and they both made an instant impact.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: D J. Chark yesterday, as you mentioned also Trey Hernton
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: was you saw him, You noticed him in the middle
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: of coverage with early I think to notice that. So
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: four new names on coverage and four players who made
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: a big difference on opening day. Absolutely all right, there
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: you go. We need a break when we come back.

• 37:31
  Speaker 1: have me back with us on Jaguar's drive time. So
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: on Friday we do a segment called he will, he won't.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: He might where we all pick a player and say
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: something he will do, he won't do, and he might do. Now.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I picked a J boy because of all the who
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: plaw about Jalen Ramsey and Odell Beckham Jr. I thought
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: J Boy was gonna have a big day. He had
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: a pretty good day, two tackles and in his own
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: coverage held his own. But I wish I would have
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: picked Barry Church. He came out of nowhere, man. I thought,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: that's the beauty of the segment. You just don't know
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. You don't football. Who did you have?
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: She didn't pick Barry Church, but she might next week,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: and how it works. Um, I picked Bortles, and uh,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: you know, I thought he played the kind of game
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: that he's gonna play a lot in this league. And
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: I think you mentioned earlier Brian he's, uh, you know,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: he's not gonna be elite, top five guy, but he
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: managed the game. He talked about it afterwards. People hate
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: hearing this because they hate hearing from a quarterback. But
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of his job is to manage the game,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: get the wheels, grease, do whatever it means, not make mistakes,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: they're going to put them in a bad situation. The
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: forty one yard run was big. It got them out
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: of a bad down or a bad field position spot
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: to flip the field. Those kind of plays are big
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: when you play like this because you want to keep
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: the other team back, you want to play some field position.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Nobody plays field position anymore. This team does, so plays
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: like that. I'm not gonna give him an a. The
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: interception could have been avoided, but the ability to respond
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: in the first half and a couple of big plays
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: in the second, I'm okay with how he played, As
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Doug said, because he won um I took Unique and
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Gonquay and I said that he would have a big game.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: That he did have a big game. He impacted it
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: in several ways. Not the least of which we've already
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: shown you was the play on which the ball was
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: tipped and Miles Jack intercepted it for the touchdown. So
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Unique was a force as a pass rusher, even if
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: he didn't get to the quarterback as often as we
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: might have thought. I thought he might have a couple
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: of sacks. Uh didn't get those, but had a very
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: impactful game. I said he wouldn't be a liability against
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: the run, and he wasn't. Uh at least, you know,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: you see that when you watch the tape and dig
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: in and I haven't seen that yet, but my sense
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: was he was very stout against the run yesterday, despite
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: the fact that Sa Kwan Barkley got that one big run,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think he was a liability by any stretch
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: of the imagination. Saw ninety one flashing all over the field.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I said he might have a big day, might do
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: a Calais Campbell. That didn't happen. Um, But it was
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: a good day, a good start for Unique and Gonckway,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: if not a great one. I think all of us
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: think he's got, you know, a great day in front
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: of him. Maybe this week. Remember last year they didn't
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: get to Brady enough, and it was Nate Solder who
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: caused problems again with his length for Unique and Gockway
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: and and even and it's a good players, one of
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: the higest pay tackles in the game. And even for
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Calais Campbell Solder we saw yesterday. It means we don't
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: see him this week. Perhaps this is the week that
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: in Gockway gets a tough day to get pressure upfront
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: to you know, a wet field. Just one of those
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: days the Giants got some pressure, they got some pressure
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: off Blitz. Uh normal had one where he sort of
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: whiffed and gave up one. But it's tough to get
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: edge type pressure, quick type pressure. Uh. You guys were
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: on the field of Brian. You were on the field.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: It felt like a slick track, Um, And you hate
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: to make excuses, but it didn't. It didn't feel like
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: a normal game on that front on several for several reasons. Uh,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: play calling one of them. You know. It was a
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: weird cold day for sept Tammer. Yeah. Um, we haven't
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: talked about the weather a whole lot. It rained from
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: the moment that we got on the bus at the
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: team hotel until the middum we got on the plane
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: to come home after the game. It just and it
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: wasn't heavy, It was just steady, and it wasn't to
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: miss it was heavier than that, and it just it
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: just never relented. It was that way old day. The
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: ball was slick and you know what went through t. J.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Eldon's hands and I firmly believe on that early past
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: that he dropped it was it was the ball that
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: was wet. He wasn't anticipating it, so weather it was
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: a factor in the way that the game was played.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: It as actually the way it was called as much
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: as we're gonna have I mean in the inbox is
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: unbelievable by the way. I mean, it's like they lost
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: by thirty five points, um. And but I think a
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: lot of how they approached the game once they got
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: the lead had to do with having the lead for
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: nets out and hey, this is a bad weather day.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Let's just put the game in the hands of our
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: defense and assume we're gonna win this thing. Time for
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: a recap of the Twitter pool before ozone snapshot again
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: our Exfinity player of the game? Who is it? You
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: can see Miles Jack leading the way as we You
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: think he would write that pick six was a big play.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: He led the team and tackles. But there are other
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: options and you can join us j. People have this
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: in Happy hour this afternoon as well. Plenty of time
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: for you to vote the overwhelming favorite Miles Jack for
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: his big day. All right, onto the snapshot, Onto the snapshot, Son,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: you're ready. I know you were a little late, so
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure you're good born ready, look ready,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: all right, let's go with Roy from a town that
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: I just really don't know what this means. John O
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: b J took Jalen Ramsey's lunch money. Is Ramsey overrated?
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: You know it's uh, you seem to be upset about. Yeah,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: well it's surface under. It's one thing to watch something,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: it's another thing to have no idea what you're seeing.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: And I get there was so much build up on
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: this that people have mectally think every time that Beckham
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: caught the ball, it was gonna be an indictment on
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey's career, his all the stories in the off season,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: and himself as a person a. He wasn't on him
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: one on one nearly as much as people thought. I
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: haven't gone back and had a chance to really look
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: and break it down how much. But they didn't want
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: to play man against these guys the entire game because
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: it's very hard to cover man all the way across
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: the field when you run a lot of crossing routes,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: which is what the Giants like to do, and they
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: and they had some success on those plays. Boy talked
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: about this after the game and said we couldn't. We
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: didn't want to do that. There had to be some
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: zone mixed into that. Plus, if you run zone, I mean,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: if you run man all the time. If NFL teams
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: know exactly what you're gonna do, they know how to
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: beat a defense if it's all you're gonna run. So
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: teams don't play all man, even when you have the
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: best cornerbacks in the league. So, uh no, Ramsey's not overrated.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Um NFL players get their catches, especially when the team's
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: scheme basically the entire game to get him the ball.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: I thought, I Jalen had his best game, but Beckham
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: didn't win that game for him because guess what, the
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Giants didn't win the game. Well, they got Beckham one
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: on one and it was on the final drive of
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: the first half. They went on with Jalen, and Jalen
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: owned that play and now the ball was overthrown. I
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: get that. But if you watched the coverage that Jalen had,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: he was step for step with him. I think I
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: think he had four or five catches, you know, when
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: he was going against Jalen. But as we've said, they
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: were running pick plays right Essentially, that's the way to
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: describe it. They were legal because there was no flag
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: thrown on him, but they were rubbing on him with
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: other guys trying to get Odell Beckham Jr. Free. A
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: lot of the effort of Pat Schirmer's offense was to
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: get Odell Beckham free. He got free. He had eleven
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: catches hundred eleven yards ten yard average and at no
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: point threatened the end zone. Right, just win. And when
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: you're going against him, you know, we have to keep
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: him from doing the spectacular, and they kept him spectacular.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Otto from Ponta Vidra Beach
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: John forgot or worse. It looked like a continuation of
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: last year. An effective passing game, stupid penalties, defense wins.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: It cannot do this next week? Yeah, I guess, I
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: just you know, I was just beaten down. Every email
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: was you know, probably answered, I don't know how many,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: and everything was how bad it was. And this is
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: the National Football League. You won on the road. You
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: want to guess a team that uh has a lot
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: of talent, a lot on the offensive, and you are
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: coming home want to oh, why did this fan base
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: gets so accustomed to all this incredible rich history the
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: last six or seven years. You know, I get there's
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: huge expectations, but the NFL, you win, you win, and
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: you come home and you figure out what you did
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: wrong and you move forward. Uh. Yes, way too many
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: stupid penalties, So cut that out. But I'll bet Brian
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: they're more concerned down there about the penalties and getting
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: that cleaned up. And if they had kept that to
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: four for forty, I think they probably win this thing
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: by eleven points yesterday, and I think they're looking at
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: it like, hey, this is a good eleven point went
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: on the road, they outplayed them by about that margin.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: I think the penalties kept them back in it. So
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: I had the serious NFL radio channel on my way
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: in this morning. I wanted to hear what people were saying,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: and I turned it on and they were talking about
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Jalen versus O'Dell. And the problem is and and people's
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: attention span is so short. They hear something, they believe it,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: they go with it, right all d and eleven yards, Well,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: that's proof that O'Dell won the matchup. And whoever it was,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: Brad Hopkins, I forget who it was, was talking about
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: how O'Dell won the matchup. Well, he wasn't there, he
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: didn't see the game, He paid no attempt, he saw highlights,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: and now he's commenting off of highlights without really diving
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: into the game. Well, that's a great disservice to fans
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: who need a little bit more death to understand. It's
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: not like a quarterback or running back whose statue you
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: can look at and see the game. When you're talking
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: about a corner and you don't know the coverages, you don'
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: understand how they were playing it. You can't possibly dictate
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: a winner and a loser in a matchup just by
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: what you saw on the on the TV. Shame on
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: you guys for not doing more homework before you act
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: like experts on national radio. Shame show. Yeah, I don't
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: have to, that's my shame stick. But I listened coming
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: in and thought, you know, I mean, people are gonna
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: believe this, not they're not paying attention. Agreed, I'm glad
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: you said that. Well, truth, straight facts, facts, homie. Yeah,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say homie, but i'd say straight facts, all right.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: Kevin from St. John's, Florida. Not so much a question
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: but an observation. A win's a win, be it ugly,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: less than expected, or uninspired. They're all w yeah, and
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: and the uninspired things just got me a yes, he's right.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: A win is a win and as the biggest thing,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: And that was the thing talking to players in the
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: locker room after that, you know it's uh NFL players
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: aren't disappointed when they win. They know how hard it is,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: and especially how hard it is up there. We talked
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: all last week about how different it is when you're
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: playing a team week one. There are a couple exceptions.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: Yesterday the bill is obviously you know something's up there.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: But usually you come out and a team is there.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: They believe in it. They've listened to the coach all
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: training camp. They're still going in one direction. Is very
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: tough to win on the road week one because everybody
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: still believes they're good. And guess what, if you're playing
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: in professional football, you probably are good. So to win
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: this one, I didn't see it as uninspired. I saw
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: it they won a game, and they're coming home onet
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: and and they're in first place in their division. You know,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: I had to break it to you, Brian this he's
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: been playing football for twenty four years. It's it's a
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: small sample side of the times they've been wanted out
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: in the first place in the division after one week.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Um yeah, Kevin from St. John's was obviously uninspired by it,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: but the players in the locker room were not. Again,
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: it's not a knock on Kevin, I mean, because he
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: got it. It was. It was a win that you know,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: and it mattered. But uninspired. I just I'm inspired. I
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: was too, So no shame on Kevin. Well, careful who
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: you listened to because they may not know what they're
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: talking about, allegedly straight. All right, we'll take a break,
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: come back and we'll go around the NFL and the
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: a f C give you some headlines before we sign off.
• 49:48

• 51:09
  Speaker 1: Jaguars want to know and a big week coming up
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: this week. Sunday the Jaguars hosts the a f C
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: champion New England Patriots, and that one stings a little
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: bit to say, I'm sure for the players this week,
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: but it's straight facts, right, straight straight facts all right.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Time for some headlines from around the a f C
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: South Jaguars. As we mentioned in first place, all by
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: themselves in the South and um not a good day
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: for the Titans. Good news is is that Marcus Mariota,
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: who left the game with an injured elbowed in the
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: feeling in his fingertips. Uh. It's not supposed to be
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: anything long term for them. However, they did lose Taylor
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: Lawan to a concussion, and we know that that they're
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: highly paid left tackle can be a problem. The other
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: side of it is is that they lost Delaney Walker,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: who was Mariota's favorite target the first couple of seasons
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: and a guy who always gave the Jaguars fits. If
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: you haven't seen the highlight, yeah, don't be squeamish. He
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: dislocated his ankle and there's a fracture in there as well.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: Likely done for the season for the Tennessee Titans up next,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: They're gonna need more than just luck in Indianapolis, folks. Uh,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: through the bowl fifty three times yesterday. Now, he looked good,
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: put his team in a position to win, but they're
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: running game is a mnemic, only seventy five yards rushing
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: and nobody posted threat just three point four yards per game,
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: and their defense gave up over five yards per carry
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: and allowed the the Bengals to get back into it
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: despite lux heroics in his first game back in two years. Track.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's tough because we're covering games, especially one
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: o'clock game. That's tough for us to keep up with.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: I lost track of the Colts game. I was surprised,
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: considering Luck was playing well, that they didn't hold the league.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: I think they were up early or or had control
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: of the game early. Seemingly for them to lose that
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: one not a good sign. I wasn't surprised that it was.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: As the Colts hater over here Colts defense, I think
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a problem. When lux Row was
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: the ball fifty three times, it's not necessarily a good outcome. Uh. Finally,
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: last year Opening Day we saw the Texans troubles on
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: the offensive line. It really hurt them last year. They
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: spent some time and money to fix it. This year, however,
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson better be mobile because Seawan Trell Henderson, the
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: left tackle they paid, broke his left ankle. Probably done
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: for the season. Uh. Watson was sacked three times yesterday
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: by the Patriots, pressured twelve more, hit twelve more, should
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: say ESPN at a stat from their info people that
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: said that he was pressured on dropbacks, which is the
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: highest amount for a quarterback in a regular season game
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: in the last two years. So their trouble upfront could
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: be trouble for their season. If they can't figure out
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: a fix now at left tackle, that is a problem.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: That's quite the stop. Yeah, that's why he's doing. Yeah alright,
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: NFL headline. So if you miss the Green Bay Packers
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: US Deshock Chicago Bay Airs game, it was a really
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: good one, you should go watch the highlights. Aaron Rodgers
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: is somewhat godly, I gotta say, carted off the field
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: knee injury, comes back to the game and is on
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: the sidelines and says I gotta get back in there,
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: and leads this team from way back to an emotional
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: emotional When his postgame interview, he's crying with Michelle de
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: Foya talking about how much this win meant to him.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: It was it was pretty cool to watch. I may
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: have told you my oldest son is somewhat of a
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Packers fans, and when I when I went to bed
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: last night, I thought, I'm going to console this kid tomorrow.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Because if the quarterback is done, their season is over.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: I woke up and thought, I don't have to um miracles,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: and of course he is now the highest paid player
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, and for very good reason. Yeah, it
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: was incredible. Yeah. I had this one on as I
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: was finishing up by last night and it's Uh, it
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: was storybook. It's the sort of game you know we
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: still talk about two thousand to two thousand three when
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: far came back after the death of his father. Uh,
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: it's one of those regular season games that you you know,
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: you talking about a long time and that fans of
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: other teams will still remember in five years and those
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: are rare. Yeah. It's one thing for you to have
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: an injury and get taken off the field, but speak
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: carded off Normally when you see a cart you know
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: that it's basically a season ending injury. And for him
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: to come back in that game, i'd like I said,
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: I was surprised when I woke up turned on the
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: computer this morning. It's odds. So the people in Green
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Bay obviously are used to that kind of heroic good
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: performance by their quarterback. Now they thought it was over
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: to twenty nine. Yeah, people everyone, and they're living thinking
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: it's not the first time that he has rallied that
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: team absolutely, all right, Jamis Winston who so we know
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: that Jamis Winston quarterback the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is on suspension.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: But Ryan Fitzpatrick led his team to He went over
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: the Saints four hundred and seventeen yards and four touchdowns.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think anyone saw that coming. Well, I don't
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: think so, because the conversation in the preseason had been boy,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: the Saints defense with the youngsters that they drafted, Uh,
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: going to take a big step forward? Apparently not. And
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: you know, credit for Fitzpatrick, He's been in this legal
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: long time and he's capable of doing something like this. However,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: he's not Jamis Winston in terms of his physical abilities.
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect him to be able to put up,
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: of course, four touchdowns. Who does that? But it might
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: be an interesting when he does come back. He's out
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: three games Week four, might be an interesting decision. If
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick is still hot, it's gonna get interested. I mean
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: there's people, you know. I was watching Dion Show last night,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: um and in a serious discussion about if if they're
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: two and three or if if they're two and one.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: When Winston comes back, do you Paul Jamis or do
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: you go with Fitzpatrick? They all thought, they all sort
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: of thought, you go with Fitzpatrick, right, as long as
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: you can. I'm not sure they're wrong, considering Winston's body
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: of work has not been so overwhelming that it's not
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: so warning that it's a given he comes back, and
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: that means maybe I'm the hot guy comes in, he stays.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: But Fitzpatrick is in what his fourteenth or fifteenth NFL season.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: He's had flak shows over the years with whatever team,
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: the Rams, the Bengals, the Bills, the Texans, the Titans,
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: the Jat's. Who am I forgetting right? I mean, he's
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: had these moments. At some point he's going to fade,
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: and so I think it's a temporary stay. Maybe he
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: gets you into a position where Jami's can take over
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: and stay in contention into November. We'll see, uh four touchdowns.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to him doing it. As long as you have
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: us the common cold, as you like to call him, yuys,
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: you can't kill that guy, all right. The losing streak
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: over kind of the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers game
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: goes into overtime, and ends in a tie. Cleveland at
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: home probably should have wanted a block field goal. But
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: the Steelers, who feels worse about this this morning? The
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: Browns who thought they had victory against their arch rival
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: at home on opening day they were going to cut
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: open those free beer coolers all over Cleveland, who feels
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: worse them? Or the Steelers who tied Cleveland and Cleveland
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: and opening guy Cleveland has, Oh yeah, they have coolers,
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: and they have coolers. They're they're the bud light waiting
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: to open. Just snap him up and when they win,
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: they'll be a free beer for you. Ohio. I think
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: in the long run, Cleveland, well, you get the sense
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: they will look back on this as a if they've
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: proven in themselves they can play at that level, then
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: overall would be looked at as a positive and more
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: of a short term I wish we'd want it. Well,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: we saw they had some talent up there. They just
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: didn't have a quarterback situation. By the way, we saw
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: Kaiser last night in support of and Rodgers, who, yeah,
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: he might have been the problem last year in Cleveland. Well,
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: there was actually a report that I think it was
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Defoya that Alex I mean Cobb was going to be
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: the quarterback in the second half if Rogers hadn't come in. Now,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I heard it very briefly, and it
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: was never really uh you know, you know I brought
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: more on the broadcast. But if that's the case, then
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: you gotta cut a without a doubt. And they they
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: traded for him right with the idea that they were
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: going to bring him in, and then they traded Brent Hunley,
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: who was their backup last year, to Seattle. Now, sometimes
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: things get reported and said during games that you know,
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: was I hearing that riot or was there an injury?
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: But if if if you're not to play your backup,
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: you're gona play your wide receiver at quarterback, then you've
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: got a takes the backup. And we mentioned it's a
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: big week in Jacksonville, a big week as we get
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: ready for the Sunday showdown with the New England Patriots.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: Here's a look at our week. Obviously, this afternoon we'll
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: have Doug Moron for you Live at three five a,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: JP and crew have Happy hour at four o'clock. Then
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: throughout the rest of the week, don't forget Jags All Access.
• 59:32
