- 0:24Speaker 1: to you by our friends at Porsche of Jacksonville on
- 0:28Speaker 1: Atlantic Boulevard. Proud member the Field's automotive group. We start
- 0:31Speaker 1: this morning. We had coach Doug mor own coffee with
- 0:33Speaker 1: the coach John, Ashlyn Bryan and head coach Doug. How
- 0:36Speaker 1: are you good? I have to go back to kind
- 0:39Speaker 1: of pay it off congratulations on the wind last week.
- 0:43Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm my focus right, I know, I just
- 0:46Speaker 1: felt like I had to have a little closure on
- 0:48Speaker 1: that one. I know you've got a lot going on
- 0:49Speaker 1: this week. Um Texans back home after two weeks on
- 0:53Speaker 1: the road. Divisional matchup. I think that's the thing that
- 0:55Speaker 1: stands out the most is you got a three way
- 0:58Speaker 1: tie at first place in the a f C South.
- 0:59Speaker 1: This makes it an important game. Well, it's an important game.
- 1:02Speaker 1: It's a division game, and you know it's even more
- 1:04Speaker 1: important for us to make sure we got ourselves back
- 1:06Speaker 1: on track after the you know, our performance the last
- 1:09Speaker 1: two weeks on the road, which is not acceptable. So
- 1:12Speaker 1: you know, we've got to come back here and and
- 1:14Speaker 1: you know, we've had a good week. We've you know,
- 1:16Speaker 1: obviously we've we've worked extremely hard, We've cut things down,
- 1:19Speaker 1: we went back to basics, so you know, we're trying
- 1:21Speaker 1: to give our players the opportunity to go out there
- 1:23Speaker 1: and just play fast and win a game. How has
- 1:25Speaker 1: the team responded to your message to back to basics,
- 1:29Speaker 1: harder practice wins that has a team responding? Well, I
- 1:31Speaker 1: think one of the things that you do is when
- 1:33Speaker 1: you know, you come back and after the way we
- 1:35Speaker 1: played the last two weeks, you have to you know,
- 1:37Speaker 1: everybody's searching for answers. So I think, you know, as
- 1:40Speaker 1: the head coach, you gotta get up in front of
- 1:41Speaker 1: the team and you gotta say, okay, I listen, well,
- 1:44Speaker 1: you know this is our you know, we we're the
- 1:47Speaker 1: ones that created this. Okay, first of all, all, right,
- 1:50Speaker 1: here's why his how it was created. Here are the
- 1:53Speaker 1: things we're not doing well. These are things in this
- 1:56Speaker 1: list right here that we've got to correct. And that's
- 1:58Speaker 1: what we're focusing on this week before we even start
- 2:00Speaker 1: to focus and this is earlier in the week, before
- 2:02Speaker 1: we even start to focus on our opponent. We need
- 2:05Speaker 1: to focus on ourselves. And um, I think you know,
- 2:08Speaker 1: obviously the players can see that and they've they've done
- 2:11Speaker 1: a good job of that. But the same thing with
- 2:12Speaker 1: this game of football. You have to go out there
- 2:14Speaker 1: and prove it on Sunday. When fans see a team struggle,
- 2:19Speaker 1: they often want to see more. They want to see
- 2:21Speaker 1: you do something complex, uh, blitzing whatever. But coaches go
- 2:25Speaker 1: back to basics. Why because I think the more the
- 2:28Speaker 1: more you do, and what what will happen is in
- 2:31Speaker 1: some cases and not to say that, uh may more
- 2:34Speaker 1: pressure may be good, or more of this may be good,
- 2:36Speaker 1: but you know what happens a lot of times is
- 2:39Speaker 1: you know, if you're you're grasping for things and you're
- 2:41Speaker 1: trying to put new things in, things that you haven't
- 2:44Speaker 1: worked on, things that weren't going to be your identity
- 2:47Speaker 1: and what you've sold the players on. You know, then
- 2:49Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know that that creates problems
- 2:52Speaker 1: and it put you at risk. So the best the
- 2:55Speaker 1: best thing to do is we know who we want
- 2:57Speaker 1: to be now. Defensively it's a little bit easier, we
- 3:00Speaker 1: have less injuries there. Offensively it's a little bit more
- 3:02Speaker 1: challenging for what's going on. But you know, you want
- 3:04Speaker 1: to get back to the basics, the things that we're able,
- 3:07Speaker 1: that you were able to do that made you successful.
- 3:10Speaker 1: You have to go back and make sure you point
- 3:12Speaker 1: those things out and and build it during the week.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Is it just commonplace in the NFL that you get
- 3:18Speaker 1: into the middle part of the season and you get
- 3:20Speaker 1: away from basics during practice, the fundamentals and things just
- 3:24Speaker 1: I mean, that's why it's you know, a couple of
- 3:25Speaker 1: people are like, well, you know, you know, you know,
- 3:28Speaker 1: what are the player's responsibility for Well, you know it's
- 3:32Speaker 1: on us as coaches. You know, if those things are
- 3:34Speaker 1: are are are lacking, if you're not getting what you want.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Because the one thing I've always learned and coaching is
- 3:39Speaker 1: that whatever you emphasize, whatever you stress, that's what the
- 3:42Speaker 1: players will do. And you know, we've got away from it.
- 3:45Speaker 1: So we've got to do a better job. Start with
- 3:47Speaker 1: me down to the coaches. If you guys mentioned the
- 3:49Speaker 1: past two weeks that they've been humbled, they used the
- 3:51Speaker 1: word humbled in the locker room. Do you think that
- 3:53Speaker 1: can be a good thing going forward? Um, I think
- 3:57Speaker 1: you'd have to ask them. You know, I think that
- 3:59Speaker 1: I've always respected this game. I understand that this game
- 4:03Speaker 1: you never want to get too high, you never want
- 4:04Speaker 1: to get too low. And and it seems you know that,
- 4:07Speaker 1: and that's and that's how it's it's projected in you know,
- 4:10Speaker 1: the media around the building and things like that. Hey,
- 4:12Speaker 1: when you win, you're ready to go, you're moving on.
- 4:14Speaker 1: When you lose, you know, it's terrible. That's that's part
- 4:17Speaker 1: of it. But I think you know, you I know
- 4:20Speaker 1: that every single play, every single day, you know, every
- 4:23Speaker 1: single practice play, whatever it may be, you know, can
- 4:27Speaker 1: be a humbling experience for you. And I think that
- 4:30Speaker 1: you know, you've got to go out there and you
- 4:32Speaker 1: have to have a lot of It has to be
- 4:33Speaker 1: a bigger reason. You know, you want to do it,
- 4:36Speaker 1: you know, for your teammates, you want to do it
- 4:38Speaker 1: for the people outside or inside the building. And the
- 4:41Speaker 1: people obviously are fans, you know, in the community, and
- 4:44Speaker 1: right now we're not we're not doing that. We've got
- 4:46Speaker 1: to get back on track. Texans this week. Obviously, they
- 4:51Speaker 1: look like the Texans on defense. J David Clowney and J. J.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Watt on either side are quite a challenge, aren't they.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Well they obviously they are there. There two play is
- 5:00Speaker 1: that obviously can take over a game. J. J. Watt's playing,
- 5:03Speaker 1: you know, back to the level of being a defensive
- 5:05Speaker 1: player of the Year. He leaves the league in sacks.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Clown He's obviously a very disruptive player. Um, and they
- 5:10Speaker 1: both disruptive players and both a run in the past game.
- 5:13Speaker 1: But they also have a good um a bunch of
- 5:15Speaker 1: players around them too. I think you know McKinney and
- 5:18Speaker 1: Cunningham's the two linebackers. They're outstanding. Um. McKinney is a
- 5:21Speaker 1: great pressure guy from the linebacker position, you know, when
- 5:25Speaker 1: you merciless has always been a great player in this league.
- 5:27Speaker 1: He's another guy that's on the outside that you know
- 5:29Speaker 1: is problematic. And you know in the back end they
- 5:32Speaker 1: have a very um, you know, veteran group back there,
- 5:35Speaker 1: which you know usually when you have veteran groups, what
- 5:37Speaker 1: you know they're gonna be able to do a little
- 5:39Speaker 1: bit more, you know, from a coverage standpoint, from a
- 5:41Speaker 1: standpoint of disguising things of that nature. So you know,
- 5:45Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great challenge, especially for us on offense.
- 5:47Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna have to do something that might
- 5:49Speaker 1: be a little bit different, might be a little bit
- 5:51Speaker 1: out of our wheelhouse, but again, you know, these are
- 5:54Speaker 1: the things we have to do to give us an
- 5:55Speaker 1: opportunity to go win a game. You mentioned offense, and
- 5:58Speaker 1: you mentioned all the offensive injuries earlier. Do you spend
- 6:01Speaker 1: as a head coach, do you spend more time on
- 6:03Speaker 1: that side of the ball because of that or is
- 6:05Speaker 1: that just something where you know or is it normal now?
- 6:07Speaker 1: I spend equal equal amount, you know, in other words, offense, defense,
- 6:11Speaker 1: and special teams. Uh, the same amount of things I
- 6:14Speaker 1: might be able to throw out, maybe more ideas, you know,
- 6:17Speaker 1: obviously because of my background, but it's no different than
- 6:21Speaker 1: throwing them out in the defensive room too. So um,
- 6:24Speaker 1: you know, it's one of those things. What I look
- 6:25Speaker 1: at it is that you can't get into a point
- 6:27Speaker 1: you're saying, you know, the woes me of Okay, all right,
- 6:31Speaker 1: The reality of the situation is this was our identity,
- 6:33Speaker 1: this who want to play, but due to these injuries
- 6:36Speaker 1: at these three positions, you know, now we've got to
- 6:38Speaker 1: change now we've got players coming in here, and now
- 6:39Speaker 1: let's get excited about that. You know, let's give put ourselves,
- 6:43Speaker 1: put our players in the best situation that we can.
- 6:45Speaker 1: You know, let's go out there, you know and look
- 6:47Speaker 1: at it as a as a challenge and be excited
- 6:50Speaker 1: about it rather than you know, using it as an
- 6:53Speaker 1: excuse or being the woes me type guy. How hard
- 6:56Speaker 1: is that to do when when you have to change
- 6:58Speaker 1: the way that you do something in the same week
- 7:00Speaker 1: that you want to go back to basics and fundamentals
- 7:02Speaker 1: the way I the way I well, basic and fundamental
- 7:04Speaker 1: should be the standpoint or the nucleus or the foundation
- 7:08Speaker 1: of everything that you do. Because at the end of
- 7:10Speaker 1: the day, you know, you have to block people, you
- 7:12Speaker 1: have to tackle, you have to protect the football, you
- 7:14Speaker 1: know all those things. So I never I never lose
- 7:17Speaker 1: sight of that. But for me, it's it's it's not difficult.
- 7:22Speaker 1: You don't like it, in other words, being you know
- 7:24Speaker 1: internally you don't you don't like that. I mean, you
- 7:26Speaker 1: went through O, T, A, S and minicamp in preseason
- 7:29Speaker 1: for a reason, you know, to play a certain way,
- 7:32Speaker 1: and now you have to change. Well, that's fine, but
- 7:34Speaker 1: at the other time, it's like, hey, you know what,
- 7:36Speaker 1: I'm gonna open up this box now. In other words,
- 7:39Speaker 1: everything's on the table, and let's let's go do it,
- 7:42Speaker 1: you know, and look at it as a great challenge
- 7:44Speaker 1: and be excited about it rather than, like I said before,
- 7:47Speaker 1: like you know, because I always say that. I told
- 7:50Speaker 1: the coaches, I said, look, we have to have answers.
- 7:53Speaker 1: It doesn't matter everything on the table. You we gotta
- 7:56Speaker 1: look at this as an opportunity to see, you know,
- 7:58Speaker 1: how we can get better, how players can perform at
- 8:01Speaker 1: a different level, you know, a higher level, meaning that,
- 8:04Speaker 1: and and let's go let's go get it done, and
- 8:06Speaker 1: let's let's get after it, and let's be um, let's
- 8:09Speaker 1: be daring, let's be aggressive. And I'm not saying daring
- 8:11Speaker 1: and aggressive from the standpoint of hey, we're going forward
- 8:14Speaker 1: on every fourth down or we're running reverse passes or
- 8:17Speaker 1: anything like that. I don't want to. I don't want
- 8:18Speaker 1: to give that impression of but hey, listen, in these
- 8:21Speaker 1: personnel groups, you know, who do we want to feature,
- 8:23Speaker 1: what do we want to do, Let's go have let's
- 8:25Speaker 1: let's go after and give guys an opportunity to show
- 8:27Speaker 1: us what they can do because the player, you know,
- 8:29Speaker 1: he wants to do that, and we have to rally
- 8:32Speaker 1: around that and go. And you said a couple of
- 8:34Speaker 1: times and you can hear it in your voice. There's
- 8:37Speaker 1: party that likes that. Yeah, you know, there there is
- 8:40Speaker 1: and and you know it's tough, and you get a
- 8:42Speaker 1: lot of questions during the year, uh, you know, media
- 8:45Speaker 1: wise of you know, you've said you've been through this before,
- 8:47Speaker 1: and and I think and I try to explain that,
- 8:51Speaker 1: you know, I've been through it before and what I've
- 8:55Speaker 1: learned through that experiences, I've learned how to communicate and
- 8:58Speaker 1: handle it better from my standpoint. But don't make you know,
- 9:02Speaker 1: I don't want anyone to, you know, to think differently
- 9:05Speaker 1: that inside it's never changed. It's you're pissed, you're you,
- 9:10Speaker 1: you're this so much, you know, I mean, you're just
- 9:13Speaker 1: like that. But as the head coach, you can't walk around,
- 9:16Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and everyone be scattering when
- 9:19Speaker 1: you're walking down the building. You gotta go and say, hey,
- 9:21Speaker 1: let's look, let's go, we've got to go. We've got
- 9:23Speaker 1: to you know, do this, do that, And here's the answers.
- 9:25Speaker 1: This is what we need done. We want to win
- 9:27Speaker 1: football games. This is what we have to do. So
- 9:29Speaker 1: I think, you know, that's that's where it comes in.
- 9:31Speaker 1: The Other part is you want to open people's minds up,
- 9:34Speaker 1: you know, a meaning and I don't want to listen, Hey,
- 9:37Speaker 1: it is what it is. It's not gonna change. Okay,
- 9:40Speaker 1: all right, at least not this week. So let's take
- 9:43Speaker 1: it as a challenge and let's go. All right, let's
- 9:46Speaker 1: be aggressive. What are thinking, Let's be forward thinking about it.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Let's see what we can do. You know, let's it's
- 9:51Speaker 1: all on the table. In other words, meaning that when
- 9:54Speaker 1: you have an identity and you do something. Let's say,
- 9:56Speaker 1: you know, you see something or you see a play
- 9:58Speaker 1: from someone else and you a, hey, listen, I love
- 10:01Speaker 1: this play. We really got to put this play. And well,
- 10:02Speaker 1: if it doesn't fit what you're doing and fit in
- 10:04Speaker 1: your identity, you're not gonna throw it in. But all
- 10:06Speaker 1: of a sudden, when you have these injuries and and
- 10:08Speaker 1: and we've we've lost that because of injuries. All right, Hey,
- 10:11Speaker 1: let's go. It's all on the table now. And I
- 10:13Speaker 1: think that's what you know, the ideas and everything that
- 10:16Speaker 1: comes in, you know, that generates um, you know, a positive,
- 10:21Speaker 1: you know, flow and a and a chance and an
- 10:22Speaker 1: opportunity to go out there and and perform. Well. Shaun Watson,
- 10:26Speaker 1: you saw him last year for his first half of
- 10:29Speaker 1: football and we haven't seen him since. Just your thought
- 10:31Speaker 1: on him, does he compared to the other quarterbacks that
- 10:33Speaker 1: you've seen this year? Is or anything about him that
- 10:35Speaker 1: stands out differently? Well, I mean, you know, obviously the
- 10:37Speaker 1: division opponents. So even though you know, uh, we didn't
- 10:40Speaker 1: see him the second time around, in the off season,
- 10:42Speaker 1: we go through and study everything, so you know, we
- 10:45Speaker 1: were able to see him throughout all the games that
- 10:46Speaker 1: he played, and it was very impressive. I mean, he
- 10:48Speaker 1: played extremely well. Doesn't surprise me obviously. I know a
- 10:52Speaker 1: lot of people on a clempse, some staff, you know,
- 10:54Speaker 1: a lot of things that were coming out about him.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Everything was positive and I think that it was able
- 10:58Speaker 1: to um carry over into the NFL, which sometimes doesn't happen,
- 11:02Speaker 1: but for for Shawn that that's happened. I think what
- 11:04Speaker 1: you see as a quarterback that you know, it's very calm,
- 11:07Speaker 1: very cool, as great leadership, uh expects a lot of himself,
- 11:11Speaker 1: can make all the throws, and he's someone that in
- 11:13Speaker 1: the past two weeks. His style of players, the style
- 11:15Speaker 1: of play that hurt us a little bit, you know,
- 11:17Speaker 1: being able to extend plays, being able to to run
- 11:20Speaker 1: the football, being able um, you know, to do those
- 11:24Speaker 1: two things to get out of trouble. Um. The last
- 11:27Speaker 1: two weeks we've had problems with Now he's been injured.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Last week he didn't run as much. I don't see that.
- 11:31Speaker 1: This week. I think he'll be fine, He'll be ready
- 11:33Speaker 1: to go. So he'll be a challenge for us, you know,
- 11:36Speaker 1: making sure that we can keep him in the pocket,
- 11:38Speaker 1: that we can make him uncomfortable and not let him
- 11:40Speaker 1: get away, scramble, extend plays or run for first downs.
- 11:45Speaker 1: All right with the coach, Thanks appreciate it, Thank you,
- 11:48Speaker 1: and we're back after this some of the jack Where

- 15:06Speaker 1: you're still angry, right, but you know externally you can't
- 15:09Speaker 1: project that. You can't walk around angry. It doesn't get
- 15:12Speaker 1: anything done. I just know from my own personality that's
- 15:15Speaker 1: very difficult to do. I wear my emotions on my sleeve.
- 15:18Speaker 1: Yeah you're oh, yeah, you're no. Oh no, there's nothing
- 15:23Speaker 1: there's nothing this about me. I know that, which is
- 15:25Speaker 1: probably why I admire Doug for being able to be
- 15:28Speaker 1: this whole week. And his message has been consistent. At
- 15:31Speaker 1: no point does he bend, which is exactly what this
- 15:33Speaker 1: team needed this week. Yeah, he was fantastic. I thought
- 15:36Speaker 1: he had the best press conferences he's had since I've
- 15:38Speaker 1: been here this week, and I I agree, And I
- 15:42Speaker 1: thought the last five minutes of what he was talking about, um,
- 15:48Speaker 1: it was fascinating because he talked about how he has
- 15:53Speaker 1: to take his personality, which I don't think his personality
- 15:56Speaker 1: is really to walk back there even Keel after a loss.
- 15:59Speaker 1: But it was fascinating to me when he talked about
- 16:03Speaker 1: I can't walk back there, uh you know a paraphrase,
- 16:07Speaker 1: and he can't walk back there breaking doors and expect
- 16:11Speaker 1: the coaches the players to be able to function and
- 16:14Speaker 1: respond or the coaches. If the coaches are sitting there
- 16:17Speaker 1: going I don't want to say anything. It Doug, Mike,
- 16:19Speaker 1: it Matt. You know, they can't say, well, how about
- 16:22Speaker 1: if we run the bubble screen this week? If they
- 16:25Speaker 1: think that response is going to be him taking the
- 16:27Speaker 1: playbook and popping it on the head, they can't do that.
- 16:31Speaker 1: So I thought it was very insightful to how a
- 16:34Speaker 1: head coach has to handle this situation and how he
- 16:36Speaker 1: has to channel his emotions. I know it was alarmed.
- 16:40Speaker 1: I won't use names because I don't think these guys
- 16:42Speaker 1: want me to, but there are several coaches this week.
- 16:44Speaker 1: You know, we we've talked about working harder on the
- 16:47Speaker 1: practice field, and we saw the guys walk into the
- 16:49Speaker 1: locker room on Wednesday and they were it was a
- 16:51Speaker 1: hot day with degrees and they were drenched. You and
- 16:55Speaker 1: I talked about Malee Jackson in particular, who stopped at
- 16:57Speaker 1: his locker you know, had to catch his breath. Um.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Same thing for the coaches this week. I know of
- 17:01Speaker 1: at least two guys who have not been home this week.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Not that that's the smartest thing to do, um, which
- 17:09Speaker 1: is why I'm not mentioning their names, but they have
- 17:11Speaker 1: not been home this coaching staff, and and you know,
- 17:14Speaker 1: Doug shed some insight on that, talking about how they
- 17:17Speaker 1: had to do things differently, how they had to change
- 17:20Speaker 1: put everything on the table. Talking to those two guys, first,
- 17:24Speaker 1: my first question is well, what did your wife say? Well,
- 17:26Speaker 1: they under the thought was they thought maybe I should stay.
- 17:29Speaker 1: If my wife heard that, she would want me to
- 17:30Speaker 1: go into coaching somehow. I don't doubt that. But these
- 17:35Speaker 1: coaches have been working over but they already have insane schedules.
- 17:39Speaker 1: By the way, right, these are not nine to five jobs.
- 17:42Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's amazing how many people don't realize
- 17:47Speaker 1: just how difficult and time consuming these jobs can be.
- 17:50Speaker 1: But to not go home all week, I think gives
- 17:53Speaker 1: you some insight into how the Jags are approaching the
- 17:55Speaker 1: Sunday and it's that kind of week. You don't want
- 17:58Speaker 1: to do that all the time. But combined with Dougs
- 18:05Speaker 1: clear um message, Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday of this is
- 18:11Speaker 1: not acceptable. We must get back to basics. We must restart,
- 18:14Speaker 1: we must reboot. Um. I don't know how much what
- 18:19Speaker 1: they're actually doing on the field changes, et cetera. But
- 18:24Speaker 1: you've got to do something to reset and grab the
- 18:27Speaker 1: players attention and make them believe and act urgently differently.
- 18:36Speaker 1: You have to do something. And as he said, what
- 18:40Speaker 1: you don't want to do, what you want to avoid
- 18:42Speaker 1: in the NFL is oh, we're going to change a
- 18:46Speaker 1: scheme wise or all of a sudden, we're a power
- 18:49Speaker 1: running team. Now we're gonna go run and shoot. You
- 18:52Speaker 1: want to stay away from that as much as possible,
- 18:54Speaker 1: But you want to get into a mode where you
- 18:58Speaker 1: have the players attention and change something. I think that's
- 19:02Speaker 1: what they've been able to do. This week's been impressive.
- 19:04Speaker 1: It has, It certainly has. So let's let's jump into
- 19:07Speaker 1: he will he won't he might. By the way, we
- 19:11Speaker 1: have something special coming up just after the top of
- 19:13Speaker 1: the hour, something new, something different. Uh, John will start
- 19:16Speaker 1: with you. Well, when I first sort of came up
- 19:21Speaker 1: with this, I wasn't sure if he'd be on the
- 19:23Speaker 1: injury report. So the first part was he will play
- 19:26Speaker 1: despite the ankle and foot because or at the ankle
- 19:29Speaker 1: and knee, because I can't imagine him not playing in
- 19:33Speaker 1: this situation. He's gonna plays, not the injury report, Um,
- 19:37Speaker 1: he won't. I still think even though he's on the
- 19:40Speaker 1: injury report that there's clearly something gone with his leg.
- 19:43Speaker 1: You saw Brian uh he was not against Dallas. But
- 19:49Speaker 1: I don't think he will let that affect him this week.
- 19:51Speaker 1: He has had the capacity in the past two play
- 19:56Speaker 1: through it. If you remember the Tennessee game early last year,
- 19:59Speaker 1: I thought two people after the game, he basically said
- 20:01Speaker 1: he had no business beyond the field with his ankle. Uh.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Not that he was risking for their injury, but they
- 20:07Speaker 1: were amazed that he could play through it. He has
- 20:09Speaker 1: the capacity to play at a high level despite being injured,
- 20:13Speaker 1: which I think he will do this week. And I
- 20:16Speaker 1: get the press conference. People were sort of upset that
- 20:18Speaker 1: he behaved the way it in the press conference. Under
- 20:20Speaker 1: the point, I don't care what Jalen does in press conferences.
- 20:23Speaker 1: I mean it's people said, wah, were you mad at him?
- 20:27Speaker 1: Or were you like that's who Jalen is. Whoever fine,
- 20:30Speaker 1: whoever walks in there, but a side store exactly. It's whatever.
- 20:33Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's part of the job. If he
- 20:35Speaker 1: wants to come in and just stare at us, I'll
- 20:38Speaker 1: figure out a way to write that. That's fine. I'm
- 20:39Speaker 1: just gonna say I said that this to Ashlyn yesterday.
- 20:42Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what he says sometimes sometimes it's how
- 20:45Speaker 1: he says it. So the story wasn't well that Jalen
- 20:48Speaker 1: didn't talk. It's that Jalen didn't have much to say, right,
- 20:52Speaker 1: And that's fine exactly the way he said it was
- 20:54Speaker 1: the storyline. Want he might um, I don't eve They're
- 21:00Speaker 1: just gonna put him on DeAndre Hopkins and say just
- 21:02Speaker 1: go with it the entire game. But he obviously gets ready.
- 21:07Speaker 1: It's a special matchup for him, and I have a
- 21:11Speaker 1: feeling that he might have one of those Jalen Ramsey
- 21:14Speaker 1: games like he like he did against Hopkins in two
- 21:16Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen in December, where he sort of defines
- 21:19Speaker 1: the day. They sure need that. This is a time.
- 21:24Speaker 1: I'm not saying they can't win if Jalen doesn't step up,
- 21:26Speaker 1: but right now, this is a time for this team
- 21:29Speaker 1: where you need your special players to be special, and
- 21:32Speaker 1: this might be the week that he does. I have
- 21:34Speaker 1: such admiration for him in so many ways the way
- 21:37Speaker 1: he plays the game. But one of the reasons that
- 21:39Speaker 1: I do is that he's learned at a young age
- 21:42Speaker 1: that you're never gonna be in this game, right. There's
- 21:45Speaker 1: a difference between playing hurt and playing injured, and he
- 21:49Speaker 1: figures out a way to do it. Everywhere you play hurt,
- 21:52Speaker 1: they don't want you to play injured. There are guys
- 21:54Speaker 1: in that locker room who still don't know the difference
- 21:57Speaker 1: between hurt and injured. He is a star player who
- 22:00Speaker 1: has figured it out and sets an example at a
- 22:02Speaker 1: very young age. Well, the game matters to him, Brian,
- 22:03Speaker 1: we can do you know all of the other stuff
- 22:06Speaker 1: that he does, uh, the ESPN articles, the Yeah, we
- 22:12Speaker 1: all saw the coat that he barred from me, the goldwin,
- 22:19Speaker 1: that's my coat, the goldwin. But we've all seen the
- 22:25Speaker 1: outside stuff. For Jalen, what makes him special is the
- 22:29Speaker 1: fact that all that is two three four in the
- 22:32Speaker 1: list and Football's football number one. Brian and I were
- 22:34Speaker 1: talking about it Tuesday. A lot of times he could
- 22:36Speaker 1: the reputation of being selfish and all about him and
- 22:38Speaker 1: all about Jalen, But he's the most team guy out
- 22:42Speaker 1: of all this locker room. At times, he's all about football,
- 22:44Speaker 1: and that is not always the case with young players.
- 22:48Speaker 1: All right, Actually you're next, my he will he won't.
- 22:51Speaker 1: He Mike is d D. Westbrook. He will play at
- 22:54Speaker 1: a high level. Now, a lot of this depends on boardles,
- 22:56Speaker 1: but we've seen him make big plays this season in
- 22:58Speaker 1: big games. I think you've you that this week. He
- 23:01Speaker 1: won't have a day that we saw against the Titans
- 23:03Speaker 1: where the wide receivers just couldn't play as a whole.
- 23:05Speaker 1: I think he has a good day. You might see
- 23:07Speaker 1: that touchdown dance this week. You saw it last week
- 23:10Speaker 1: in Dallas and he got some criticism, but that touched
- 23:12Speaker 1: on dance. I think you're gonna see a lot of
- 23:13Speaker 1: that this season him. I mean there. Certainly he has
- 23:16Speaker 1: been the most productive playmaker the last couple of weeks
- 23:19Speaker 1: for this football team. They need him well. And we
- 23:22Speaker 1: didn't think, by the way we'd say that about I
- 23:24Speaker 1: didn't think that this offense right now needs guys who
- 23:29Speaker 1: believe that they should be the player making the plays
- 23:32Speaker 1: above the exs and knows um. The defense is blessed
- 23:37Speaker 1: with an overabundance of those guys. The offense right now
- 23:41Speaker 1: doesn't have many. But I don't think he's a Pro
- 23:44Speaker 1: Bowl receiver yet. But or I don't even know if
- 23:48Speaker 1: he ever will be. I don't know what his future is.
- 23:50Speaker 1: But when he goes out in the field, he believes
- 23:55Speaker 1: he's going to scorey time he touches the ball and
- 23:58Speaker 1: he plays like it, and as a result, he makes
- 24:00Speaker 1: more big plays on offense right now. Very important. Oh thanks.
- 24:05Speaker 1: He wants the ball every time. You see the intensity
- 24:07Speaker 1: on the sidelines, we do that. He wants the ball
- 24:10Speaker 1: every single play. Good sign. Well, we'll see if you
- 24:12Speaker 1: like mine. I'm going with Dante Fowler Jr. Who had
- 24:14Speaker 1: a huge game against these guys on Opening Day last year,
- 24:18Speaker 1: and with the Texans offensive line in as bad as
- 24:21Speaker 1: shape as it is, I say he will be the
- 24:24Speaker 1: defensive player of the game. He was close last week
- 24:27Speaker 1: on Dak Prescott three or four times and just couldn't
- 24:30Speaker 1: get free against what I think is the best offensive
- 24:32Speaker 1: line in the game. He will get free this week
- 24:35Speaker 1: and have a big day. Um, I don't know what
- 24:40Speaker 1: he won't do. Uh, yeah, I know, I know the
- 24:45Speaker 1: second one. No, no, no, I know he is. Um,
- 24:47Speaker 1: he's prone to get wound up and and have bone
- 24:50Speaker 1: headed plays occasionally. He won't have that on Sunday. Uh.
- 24:54Speaker 1: He might score a defensive touchdown, which he did on
- 24:57Speaker 1: opening Day last year. He might be that guy that
- 25:01Speaker 1: opens the log jam up. I think for the Jaguars
- 25:03Speaker 1: to win on Sunday, the defense has got to give
- 25:06Speaker 1: them short fields. It has to be the dominant defense
- 25:09Speaker 1: that we saw against the Texans last year, and I
- 25:12Speaker 1: think he's likely to be the guy. Might be the
- 25:14Speaker 1: guy that opens those floodgates. Somebody out there is saying this,
- 25:18Speaker 1: I'll say it for him. He won't spell his name wrong,
- 25:20Speaker 1: which we did in the graphic. It's you are just today.
- 25:26Speaker 1: But that being said, I think the pass rush and
- 25:32Speaker 1: Dante Feller Jr. Is exactly a guy who can thrive
- 25:35Speaker 1: in this game. Because Deshaun Watson, if he's had a
- 25:38Speaker 1: problem this year, it's been holding the ball too long,
- 25:40Speaker 1: trying to make big plays that plays right into Dante,
- 25:43Speaker 1: who doesn't always get the immediate pass rush that you love.
- 25:46Speaker 1: It's what it's what's held him back from being great.
- 25:50Speaker 1: But he never quits in the field as motor goes.
- 25:52Speaker 1: He is a guy who gets a lot of coverage
- 25:55Speaker 1: sacks because he never quits, and he might get that
- 26:00Speaker 1: heal on, he might, and when he gets there, he
- 26:03Speaker 1: tends to separate the pastor from the ball. All Right,
- 26:06Speaker 1: So there's your he will he won't, he might. For
- 26:09Speaker 1: this week, let's move on. Pick one game and then
- 26:12Speaker 1: pick it for us and John, we'll start with you,
- 26:14Speaker 1: and you've got a good one. Yeah. And I tend
- 26:17Speaker 1: to shy away from interconference games a f C VERUS
- 26:22Speaker 1: NFC because I like the A f C games that
- 26:26Speaker 1: are sort of gonna matter for playoffs standing. This one's
- 26:29Speaker 1: fascinating to me because the Patriots have been really good
- 26:34Speaker 1: at home whenever you're on the road this year. Uh,
- 26:37Speaker 1: the Bears have that feeling of being a team that's
- 26:42Speaker 1: very close to being good. They feel to me like
- 26:43Speaker 1: the Jaguars were early last year, where they're starting to
- 26:46Speaker 1: get noticed and then just when they get noticed, they
- 26:48Speaker 1: have a Miami game last years they lost last week
- 26:51Speaker 1: that they lost, so they're close. They're at home. If
- 26:55Speaker 1: this was on the road, I would pick the Patriots.
- 26:57Speaker 1: You know it was in Foxborg. Pick the patriotside matically
- 27:01Speaker 1: the Bears being at home. This is the kind of
- 27:03Speaker 1: game that a team wins that catapults them into being
- 27:06Speaker 1: for real. And it's the kind of game the Patriots
- 27:08Speaker 1: usually win this time of year, October easily getting going.
- 27:13Speaker 1: This will show me a lot about the Patriots. If
- 27:16Speaker 1: they go in there and route them, then all of
- 27:17Speaker 1: a sudden they're back. If not, then they could have
- 27:20Speaker 1: one of those seasons where they get in at ten
- 27:21Speaker 1: and six. I like the Bears in this one as well.
- 27:24Speaker 1: And here's why. Mitch Drubisky is still a young quarterback
- 27:27Speaker 1: and there are questions about him. He had the six
- 27:29Speaker 1: touchdown game against the box, So what was he going
- 27:32Speaker 1: to do on the back end of that. Was he
- 27:33Speaker 1: going to completely disappear? And he didn't. In Miami, he
- 27:35Speaker 1: didn't get the win, but he threw three touchdown passes
- 27:38Speaker 1: and played pretty well. And that's a major sign for
- 27:40Speaker 1: a young guy. Absolutely it is. And so for him
- 27:43Speaker 1: at home it Soldier Field, you know, Marquee Game defense
- 27:47Speaker 1: is playing well. I'm gonna go with the Bears. Also,
- 27:49Speaker 1: I go with the Bears. Well. I think it's a
- 27:50Speaker 1: big test, and you saw Kansas City test the Patriots
- 27:52Speaker 1: big time last week. I think home field advantage is
- 27:55Speaker 1: the biggest You've got a big game as well. I do. Yes.
- 27:58Speaker 1: Saints at Ravens. The Saints coming off a bye and
- 28:01Speaker 1: Drew Brees record game. It's a classic matchup between the
- 28:04Speaker 1: NFL's top right defense and a great offense. The Ravens
- 28:07Speaker 1: coming off to zero shutout against the Titans. They got
- 28:10Speaker 1: to Marcus Mariota eleven times, sacked him, changed their twitter
- 28:14Speaker 1: handled the Ravens eleven s, which is clever. I think
- 28:18Speaker 1: the Ravens are hot, and I think they stay hot
- 28:20Speaker 1: this week. I I like the Ravens also because they're
- 28:23Speaker 1: playing at home and their defense has got something going.
- 28:27Speaker 1: Great defense. Yeah, this is another one of those for
- 28:29Speaker 1: real games that you get in October where a team
- 28:32Speaker 1: that you're not sure as good as a chance to
- 28:34Speaker 1: prove itself. Um yeah, I like the Ravens. It's if
- 28:41Speaker 1: the Saints win this one, then they're going to push
- 28:44Speaker 1: the Rams at the end of the season. If if
- 28:46Speaker 1: you go on the road against this kind of a
- 28:48Speaker 1: defense and you win, then all of a sudden, you
- 28:50Speaker 1: have to start talking about the Saints as a team
- 28:52Speaker 1: they can push the Rams. You know. The other thing
- 28:54Speaker 1: that the Ravens have is Joe Flacco. Last year looked
- 28:57Speaker 1: like a guy who maybe was was over the hill.
- 29:00Speaker 1: He has played well. He's not been all Pro, but
- 29:02Speaker 1: he has played really good football this year, played within himself. Uh.
- 29:07Speaker 1: If you've got him playing well with that defense, you
- 29:10Speaker 1: have something going. I took the Titans and Chargers in London,
- 29:13Speaker 1: Titans first trip, coming off a day in which they
- 29:16Speaker 1: had a hundred and six total yards in getting beat
- 29:19Speaker 1: last week at home. Um, the Chargers ran for two
- 29:23Speaker 1: six against a pretty good Cleveland defense and the Titans
- 29:28Speaker 1: did absolutely nothing. This is an important game for the
- 29:30Speaker 1: Titans because it's early right and they're gonna know where
- 29:33Speaker 1: they stand before the Jaguars and Texans in terms of
- 29:37Speaker 1: first place in the a f C South. They look
- 29:39Speaker 1: like they're gonna go up and down all season. Um.
- 29:43Speaker 1: I like the Chargers in this one because they have
- 29:44Speaker 1: played in London before and we know the advantage that has. Yeah,
- 29:48Speaker 1: I think the Charges spelled just because of what we
- 29:49Speaker 1: talked about all week. For a team to go to
- 29:51Speaker 1: London for their first time and try to adapt to
- 29:53Speaker 1: that culture, it's tough to do. So I take the
- 29:55Speaker 1: Chargers as well. It's a major game for the Titans
- 29:58Speaker 1: because they've got they've already lost to Buffalo Um and
- 30:04Speaker 1: then they have a tricky part of the schedule coming
- 30:06Speaker 1: in after the bye. It's very hard. I ain't the
- 30:10Speaker 1: Chargers win because they're usually a slow starting team to
- 30:14Speaker 1: start getting better this time of year. There four and two.
- 30:16Speaker 1: Now the Charges believe they're good and the Titans. If
- 30:21Speaker 1: the Titans win this, they're going to be there all season.
- 30:23Speaker 1: This is major for them, but they won't. The Charges
- 30:26Speaker 1: put a thirty eight points last week again again against
- 30:28Speaker 1: a good Cleveland defense that people might say what Cleveland said.
- 30:32Speaker 1: That defense is very talented and they did it in
- 30:35Speaker 1: Cleveland and they made it look easy. Melvin Gordon had
- 30:37Speaker 1: a big day, Philip Rivers had a big day. All
- 30:40Speaker 1: the key players for them came up big last week.
- 30:43Speaker 1: They've got everything rolling and they've also got the advantage height.
- 30:46Speaker 1: The Charges have played before in London, but they've got
- 30:49Speaker 1: Gush Bradley, who as their defensive coordinator has been over
- 30:53Speaker 1: there and understands how to help Anthony Lynn and the
- 30:57Speaker 1: Chargers make the adjustment. And that's you usually the game
- 31:01Speaker 1: historically that the Chargers at Cleveland, that's usually the game
- 31:05Speaker 1: they lose. And everybody's talking on TV. How in the world.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Could they lose that and they get hot at the end, right,
- 31:11Speaker 1: but then to be winning those games makes them very dangerous.
- 31:13Speaker 1: All right, We'll take a break. When we returned. Something
- 31:16Speaker 1: different here on Jags Drive Time brought to you by

- 33:07Speaker 1: this has been an interesting week. You know, in many cases,
- 33:10Speaker 1: when you have a bad week in an NFL city, Uh,
- 33:12Speaker 1: you know, one side of the ball played poorly and
- 33:14Speaker 1: you kind of wonder about it. But when both sides
- 33:17Speaker 1: go down and you have the rally move materials, players
- 33:21Speaker 1: and coaches, it's interesting to watch and see how it goes.
- 33:23Speaker 1: And we all have shared thoughts with you on how
- 33:26Speaker 1: we think Doug Maron has done it. So I can't
- 33:28Speaker 1: explain where the idea came from other than say, if
- 33:30Speaker 1: you've seen the movie Being John Malkovich. This week, I thought,
- 33:33Speaker 1: what's it like to be a Jags fan? And what's
- 33:36Speaker 1: it like to be Doug Maron and Todd wash and
- 33:39Speaker 1: Nate Hackett is they're trying to get everything back. So
- 33:42Speaker 1: let's start with a Jags fan. Because I had somebody
- 33:43Speaker 1: say to me at public the other day, man, you
- 33:45Speaker 1: should try being a Jaguars fan this week. Okay, So
- 33:49Speaker 1: our intrepid producer, Maxwell jay Hawkman put himself in the
- 33:54Speaker 1: role of being a Jags fan this week. He tried
- 33:58Speaker 1: to imagine. And that's what all of this is. By
- 34:01Speaker 1: the way, we each have a rule here. Each of
- 34:03Speaker 1: us took a character in this play this week, this drama,
- 34:08Speaker 1: and try to imagine what it would be like to
- 34:10Speaker 1: beat them. And so we'll start with what it must
- 34:13Speaker 1: be like to be a Jacks fan this week. What
- 34:17Speaker 1: the heck is going on? This was supposed to be
- 34:19Speaker 1: our year. I was spooking my trip to Atlanta back
- 34:22Speaker 1: in August. We're freaking Saxonville. We have two point o Kelvin,
- 34:27Speaker 1: the mayor, malink the freaking Yahn not to mention four
- 34:30Speaker 1: net and playoff Blake or a month and a half
- 34:33Speaker 1: into the season, and where did they all go? We've
- 34:36Speaker 1: lost two in a row and we dropped another one
- 34:38Speaker 1: to this man is eating Titans. I mean, what are
- 34:40Speaker 1: we doing? Is this thing really over before the season
- 34:44Speaker 1: really even started. I'm not going back to the way
- 34:46Speaker 1: it used to be around here, no, sir, I can
- 34:49Speaker 1: take I can't take the losing season anymore. We were
- 34:52Speaker 1: supposed to be or the two thousand Ravens. I mean,
- 34:56Speaker 1: what happened? Oh and we seven? We need him Blake Pizza,
- 35:00Speaker 1: stop throwing picks, and you guys on the defense start
- 35:03Speaker 1: taking the ball away. Let's go, guys. I'm not going
- 35:07Speaker 1: back to no way, no sir. You guys need to
- 35:10Speaker 1: figure this crap out. I mean, I'm done. I can't.
- 35:12Speaker 1: I can't take it anymore. So I'm figuring that that
- 35:16Speaker 1: is the way that a lot of Jaguars fans felt.
- 35:19Speaker 1: And you probably saw that in your inbox this week.
- 35:22Speaker 1: I didn't see that. I was speaking figure. I bet
- 35:29Speaker 1: you saw some things that are a little bit stronger
- 35:30Speaker 1: than that. Sorry, but I didn't see Matt. Yeah, he
- 35:35Speaker 1: did a nice job. By your congratulations, Hollywood, now you've
- 35:39Speaker 1: earned your nickname. Absolutely yeah. Hit a nice job. And
- 35:42Speaker 1: that's uh very reflective of how they're feeling right now. Okay.
- 35:46Speaker 1: Uh So I wondered what it must be like to
- 35:49Speaker 1: be the defensive coordinator. You have a defense, guys, you
- 35:51Speaker 1: you you can appreciate this. You have a defense that
- 35:54Speaker 1: is among the best. It's easily among the top one
- 35:58Speaker 1: or two in terms of talent. And they had played
- 36:01Speaker 1: well the week before in Kansas City. They held an
- 36:04Speaker 1: offensive was scoring thirty six points a game to twenty three.
- 36:07Speaker 1: They did enough, they didn't play as bad as that
- 36:09Speaker 1: game seemed. And then they go and they completely dissolved.
- 36:12Speaker 1: It's kind of like a nuclear reactor, right scrambled the
- 36:15Speaker 1: darn thing when all of a sudden the red light
- 36:17Speaker 1: comes on, uh and everything seemed to go wrong. So
- 36:19Speaker 1: I thought, you know, what must it be like to
- 36:23Speaker 1: be Todd washed this week? So here's my interpretation of
- 36:26Speaker 1: what it must be to be Todd washed the defensive coordinator.
- 36:29Speaker 1: I'm a pretty simple guy, really. I like tough guys.
- 36:32Speaker 1: I like tattoos. I like tough guys with tattoos, who
- 36:37Speaker 1: like to write Harley's Oh, and I like guys who
- 36:40Speaker 1: like to kick other people's ass on Sunday afternoon, and
- 36:43Speaker 1: if they have tattoos, that's a plus. It's been a
- 36:46Speaker 1: tough week because my tough guys got tattooed in Dallas
- 36:49Speaker 1: and I had to rub their noses in it all
- 36:51Speaker 1: week long. My do them some good though. I need
- 36:54Speaker 1: the strong psycho type this week, whose anger is boiling
- 36:57Speaker 1: inside like mine, since that local hack wrote that I
- 37:00Speaker 1: should be fired. I the defensive coordinator, the best defense
- 37:04Speaker 1: in football. Come at me, man, you feel me? That's cool.
- 37:08Speaker 1: He's an internet writer, not even for a newspaper. Let's
- 37:12Speaker 1: get that straight. I've got the best defensive football and
- 37:15Speaker 1: he writes words on the internet. Them is straight facts.
- 37:20Speaker 1: Now I stressed that was my interpretation. Uh yeah, Now
- 37:28Speaker 1: he he wants tough guys. He absolutely wants tough guys
- 37:34Speaker 1: this week, and and I talked to him yesterday. Give
- 37:37Speaker 1: mytle heads up. Uh, he didn't even know. That's how
- 37:40Speaker 1: ingrained he is this week. He didn't even know that
- 37:42Speaker 1: someone had written that he should be fired. You know
- 37:44Speaker 1: what his attitude was whatever. I doubt he's the type
- 37:47Speaker 1: of guy to be scrolled. No, no, no, no, he's not.
- 37:49Speaker 1: I love him, but he is one of the all
- 37:51Speaker 1: time grades who have come through here. But he's intense
- 37:54Speaker 1: and he gave it to his team. I said, did
- 37:55Speaker 1: you rub their noses in it this week? And he goes,
- 37:57Speaker 1: what do you think? Of course he did, of course
- 38:00Speaker 1: he did. And he is a guy that if you
- 38:04Speaker 1: talk to defensive players, UM, a lot of personalities on
- 38:08Speaker 1: this defense. It is not the easiest defense to coach
- 38:13Speaker 1: on that front. As much as we joke about Jalen
- 38:17Speaker 1: Ramsey and about how talkative they are and were last year, UM,
- 38:24Speaker 1: a reason that doesn't get out of hand, and a
- 38:27Speaker 1: reason that it works for the most point in over
- 38:29Speaker 1: twenty five games. You can't tell me that this hasn't worked.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Is it is his personality and the respect of the
- 38:35Speaker 1: players after toddwalking. Yeah. And one of the reasons why
- 38:38Speaker 1: they respect him so much is because he'll tell it
- 38:41Speaker 1: like it is. He doesn't care whether you're Jalen Ramsey
- 38:43Speaker 1: or whether you are Tyler Patman. You're going to hear
- 38:46Speaker 1: the truth. Not every coach is that way. Absolutely not
- 38:49Speaker 1: that true to me was we're going to stop the
- 38:51Speaker 1: cute stuff that was That was truth from Todd Washing.
- 38:54Speaker 1: I can only imagine. All right, So you're up next
- 38:58Speaker 1: being Doug Moron, and we know that he has had
- 39:00Speaker 1: a tough week and he just shared some insight on
- 39:02Speaker 1: what it's like to be a head coach and have
- 39:04Speaker 1: to keep your cool, calm composure the entire week. And
- 39:07Speaker 1: we thought he had some of his breast press conferences
- 39:09Speaker 1: this week. So we're gonna share some insight what it's
- 39:11Speaker 1: been like to be Doug Moron. All right, Right now,
- 39:21Speaker 1: we're not playing well, and I told the players, hey, listen,
- 39:24Speaker 1: I'll be the first to tell you it starts with me.
- 39:27Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I have to do a
- 39:29Speaker 1: better job. We have to work too hard, pull our
- 39:32Speaker 1: bootstraps up and get this Sorry, Tad, you know what
- 39:36Speaker 1: I'm saying. Look, this is on me too. We've lost
- 39:40Speaker 1: two in a row. My dogs are suffering. They haven't
- 39:43Speaker 1: been pet I haven't gone a Bologny sandwich in two weeks.
- 39:46Speaker 1: Two weeks. You think I want to lose. We have
- 39:49Speaker 1: to do a lot of things better for me. Now.
- 39:53Speaker 1: I can't talk about the players. You're gonna have to
- 39:55Speaker 1: ask them, but we need to get better. To the
- 39:57Speaker 1: fundamentals and things of that nature. All right, Hey, like
- 40:00Speaker 1: I always tell the players, and then the players tell me,
- 40:03Speaker 1: and then they tell the players, and then I say, hey, guys,
- 40:05Speaker 1: it's about us. Let's get back to us and focus
- 40:09Speaker 1: on today. I have a ton of respect to the
- 40:11Speaker 1: Houston Texans, but I can't worry about that right now.
- 40:15Speaker 1: All right, thanks, guys, Thanks. I thought you nailed it.
- 40:20Speaker 1: His classic go to when he leaves, all right, gives
- 40:23Speaker 1: a little cheers. He was consistent. He was consistent. You're
- 40:27Speaker 1: a little party mouth, aren't you. Yeah. At times my
- 40:31Speaker 1: dad yells at me for it. He's gonna yell you
- 40:33Speaker 1: now now I've done it. But truthfully, um, if you
- 40:37Speaker 1: listen to his news conferences, uh, he does too. It's
- 40:41Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. Okay, part of Doug and we finished
- 40:44Speaker 1: with you. Oh and you took Nathaniel Hackett and what
- 40:47Speaker 1: it must be like to be the Jaguars offensive coordinity
- 40:49Speaker 1: this week down so many players already, havn't broken the
- 40:53Speaker 1: glass on his emergency plays in his playbook, as he
- 40:55Speaker 1: told us yesterday, and how he handles this. Yeah, I
- 40:59Speaker 1: really no introduction needs. Let's go roll the tape. I'm
- 41:08Speaker 1: Nate Hackett, and I'm more than a big star Wars guy.
- 41:11Speaker 1: I'm the Jaguars offensive coordinator. That means I could use
- 41:14Speaker 1: the force to be with me these days. See, we
- 41:17Speaker 1: came into this season ready to fight evil and opposing
- 41:20Speaker 1: defenses with power and balance. Winnard for Net in the
- 41:23Speaker 1: offensive line, well, they were the power and a s
- 41:25Speaker 1: J and Marquise and Corey Grant, those guys were the balance.
- 41:29Speaker 1: We haven't had much of that lately, and now I'm
- 41:30Speaker 1: trying to figure out what can be done to get
- 41:32Speaker 1: this thing rolled. I still believe strongly in these guys,
- 41:35Speaker 1: and a lot of that is because I believe in
- 41:37Speaker 1: Blake Bortles, And yeah I do, even if you don't.
- 41:40Speaker 1: I also can't wait to say to Leonard what that
- 41:42Speaker 1: gold guy C three p O once said to R
- 41:45Speaker 1: two D two upon that little droid friend of his
- 41:47Speaker 1: awaking from a long slumber. Oh my dear friend, how
- 41:51Speaker 1: I've missed you? Or maybe I should just tell him
- 41:54Speaker 1: help me? You're my only hope? And is that how
- 42:01Speaker 1: you see it? The only hope? Is he? That big
- 42:03Speaker 1: of a piece is Nate Hackett sitting back there pining? Well,
- 42:10Speaker 1: he's pining for something, and I think that's where it is.
- 42:13Speaker 1: You know, I've said for the last couple of weeks
- 42:15Speaker 1: for net Is uh was not great. Last year he was.
- 42:21Speaker 1: He was very good, and he was a very important piece.
- 42:24Speaker 1: But more importantly, he was something that defense has had
- 42:27Speaker 1: to acknowledge. Um. I don't know how he'll play when
- 42:30Speaker 1: he first gets back. But when I say only hope,
- 42:35Speaker 1: it's sort of the last hope. That was one of
- 42:36Speaker 1: the Star Wars movies, right, the last hope, not a
- 42:39Speaker 1: Star Wars guy lost track. I know there was a
- 42:43Speaker 1: return of the Jedi and all that a new hope
- 42:45Speaker 1: and hope anyway, some sort of hope. Um was the
- 42:48Speaker 1: one on the snow planet Empire strikes back. I've lost
- 42:52Speaker 1: that's the last one I saw. It lost me at
- 42:53Speaker 1: some point. But anyway, UM, he's the hope in the
- 42:58Speaker 1: sense that I don't think right now. You can hope
- 43:01Speaker 1: for them to be great, but you've got to hope
- 43:03Speaker 1: for something, and you've got to hope for something. We've
- 43:05Speaker 1: used the phrase all week. I gotta hope for something
- 43:07Speaker 1: you can hang your hat on. And if you can
- 43:09Speaker 1: get him back, then maybe you start getting that piece
- 43:13Speaker 1: back where at least you got a guy who can
- 43:14Speaker 1: run over, guys who can run away from some guys,
- 43:16Speaker 1: make a play now and then. Uh so, I probably
- 43:20Speaker 1: should have said the last hope, but that's not what
- 43:23Speaker 1: Princess Leiah said, and we're leaving it at that. So
- 43:27Speaker 1: that was our attempt at a little levity in a
- 43:30Speaker 1: very serious week and a lensight which obviously folks are
- 43:33Speaker 1: looking for this week. Um, don't look for it anytime soon.
- 43:38Speaker 1: You've got something else planned. That's all I got. All right,
- 43:40Speaker 1: we'll take a break. Mike Dempsey joins us next for

- 45:40Speaker 1: You can be here all presented by our friends at
- 45:43Speaker 1: hannah Nea Automotive Group. Sunday at one o'clock Friday at
- 45:48Speaker 1: about a m. It's time for fantasy football. And I
- 45:52Speaker 1: told you last week I was coming for you. Oh
- 45:54Speaker 1: he did? You got the bonus plant? Baby? I hate
- 45:57Speaker 1: to say, yeah, you didn't hate it two weeks ago
- 46:00Speaker 1: when I had twenty eight points. You don't like it? Now?
- 46:04Speaker 1: Are your? He will? He won't? He might? Please? Okay, yes,
- 46:10Speaker 1: t J Yelden, I made some notes on this. U.
- 46:12Speaker 1: Let's see. He will get his third consecutive start, because
- 46:15Speaker 1: I think we all agree at this point Leonard four
- 46:17Speaker 1: nets not suiting up on Sunday, so that's not much
- 46:20Speaker 1: of a stretch. He will, not, however, get a season
- 46:23Speaker 1: high and carries or be percent healthy. And the former
- 46:26Speaker 1: is because of the ladder. He's the way he is.
- 46:29Speaker 1: You know. I think someone that ten to fifteen range
- 46:31Speaker 1: and hopefully get some help. But I think he might
- 46:34Speaker 1: be the key to slowing down the Texas pass rush
- 46:36Speaker 1: regardless if he can be effective on the ground. And
- 46:38Speaker 1: then the three starts he's had this year, he's average
- 46:40Speaker 1: over five yards of carrying each one of them, and
- 46:43Speaker 1: he's an excellent pass protector as well. He's gonna have
- 46:45Speaker 1: to chip on Clowney, chip on j J. Watt. They're
- 46:48Speaker 1: gonna need some help for this offensive line against you know,
- 46:51Speaker 1: any offensive one. We need some help against his Texans front,
- 46:54Speaker 1: and I think t J is gonna be a big
- 46:55Speaker 1: part of that. Alright, there you have it, So the
- 46:58Speaker 1: microphone's yours. Doctor. Uh, well, you were very good last week, Brian,
- 47:02Speaker 1: you're outstanding. As a matter of fact, you had ninety
- 47:04Speaker 1: three points, and you did it a little off schedule,
- 47:07Speaker 1: which is nice. You save some big guns. You went
- 47:09Speaker 1: with guys like Mitchell Trabiskie, Eric Ebron in your lineup,
- 47:12Speaker 1: but Sony Michelle who's been coming on, which is nice,
- 47:15Speaker 1: not quite enough to have the high point totally. I
- 47:19Speaker 1: went all in. I went all in, and I beat
- 47:21Speaker 1: you by three with Brady, Gurley, Julio and Gronk. So
- 47:24Speaker 1: it's like it's kind of a victory for me because
- 47:26Speaker 1: I didn't go all in and I was close. Yeah,
- 47:28Speaker 1: because I look all, I can't use those players again
- 47:30Speaker 1: the rest of the season. And uh, I have a
- 47:32Speaker 1: feeling girl, he's gonna have some more big outings at
- 47:35Speaker 1: some point this year. However, it's basically college football, all
- 47:38Speaker 1: right there, there's Bama. Feel good that you got him
- 47:43Speaker 1: into overtime. Okay, Brian, maybe UCF he may be going through. However,
- 47:51Speaker 1: John would be Prairie View last week thirty nine points. John. Unfortunately,
- 47:58Speaker 1: anytime you have a Raidar on your team this year,
- 48:00Speaker 1: you could be in trouble. And Marshall Lynch didn't do
- 48:02Speaker 1: your right. Ashlyn got hurt with a big goose egg
- 48:05Speaker 1: from hayden Hurst last week and she had forty six.
- 48:08Speaker 1: So overall, here's what we've got. We've got John now
- 48:11Speaker 1: with the first pick. He's ear in the first pick
- 48:13Speaker 1: with a season total of three to Ashland will be
- 48:17Speaker 1: picking next with three sixty five points. Brian's now up
- 48:20Speaker 1: to three eight three, passing them both by last week,
- 48:23Speaker 1: and I'm at four nineties seven at the moment. So John,
- 48:27Speaker 1: the board is yours. I have channel with my inner
- 48:30Speaker 1: Doug morn I'm going back to basics. Going back to fundamentals,
- 48:34Speaker 1: I'm going with Adam Feeling against the Jet. Adam Dealing
- 48:38Speaker 1: the top wide receiver on my list this week, no
- 48:41Speaker 1: longer the top wide receiver on my list. As we
