1:07
Speaker 1: what's coming up on the program today. By the way,

Speaker 1: the locker room, as he always does, Nick Foles back
1:33
Speaker 1: in the lineup. We heard from head coach Doug Marrone
1:36
Speaker 1: earlier today and the importance of Fools being around during
1:41
Speaker 1: his injury, and and Doug Maron said, you can't lose
1:44
Speaker 1: the fact that how important that was not only for
1:47
Speaker 1: the team, but for Nick Foles himself being around, Uh,
1:50
Speaker 1: it's big. You don't wanna, you know, all of a
1:52
Speaker 1: sudden be absent and then come back in and then
1:54
Speaker 1: you know, now your role is has changed. Where before
1:58
Speaker 1: Nick's role was doing everything can to support not only
2:01
Speaker 1: Gardener but everyone else in around the room, which he
2:03
Speaker 1: did a great job of. Everyone will tell you that
2:07
Speaker 1: being in the locker room with the defensive players and
2:09
Speaker 1: being around them is important. Being around the coaches, being
2:12
Speaker 1: in the meetings, you know, seeing how things are are
2:14
Speaker 1: are going, seeing how guys are playing, getting a field
2:17
Speaker 1: for you know, the receivers, the line, the protections, you know,
2:22
Speaker 1: having that field, just watching it and being in tune
2:24
Speaker 1: and Nick's you know, the ultimate professional. I mean he
2:27
Speaker 1: he was in tune with it. And then now you know,
2:29
Speaker 1: it changes a little bit. You know, obviously you know Gardners,
2:33
Speaker 1: you know, supporting him, and um, you know now Nix
2:36
Speaker 1: is more vocal of you know, hey, this is what
2:38
Speaker 1: we're gonna do, this is what we like, and working
2:40
Speaker 1: together with the coaches. That's head coach Doug Marone before
2:43
Speaker 1: practice today and then the team practiced of course, and
2:46
Speaker 1: then following practice, the quarterbacks smoke Nick Foles so the
2:50
Speaker 1: first time since right after the Kansas City game Week one.
2:53
Speaker 1: Grateful for that quarterback route. We want to continue to
2:56
Speaker 1: grow as a team and continue developing our culture. I'm like,
2:59
Speaker 1: we've been do him, but you know, to be back
3:00
Speaker 1: in a situation where we have an opportunity to make
3:03
Speaker 1: a run, Um, that's all we can ever ask. I'm
3:05
Speaker 1: grateful to be healthy and be back with those guys. Um,
3:09
Speaker 1: I'm proud of Gardener for everything he's done. He's a
3:11
Speaker 1: tremendous player. He's been amazing the QB room and I've
3:14
Speaker 1: really enjoyed watching him play and develop as a young player. UM,
3:17
Speaker 1: because I was once you know, him playing as a
3:19
Speaker 1: young player and to see him play at the level
3:20
Speaker 1: he has has been amazing. He's just going to continue
3:23
Speaker 1: to grow and have a bright career. So I'm excited
3:25
Speaker 1: for him. I'm excited I get to work with him
3:27
Speaker 1: and Johns in the QB room because that's a huge
3:29
Speaker 1: part of a QB success is that room. And it's
3:32
Speaker 1: not talked about enough is you know the guys that
3:34
Speaker 1: are in there. We go, we go through film study,
3:36
Speaker 1: to go through preparation on the sidelines. Going through everything
3:38
Speaker 1: together with Scott Um has been huge, So I'm grateful
3:42
Speaker 1: for them. There's Nick Foles and yeah, that's a group
3:44
Speaker 1: that will follow of course throughout the rest of the season.
3:47
Speaker 1: And Nick Foles back in the lineup this week. John
3:49
Speaker 1: That's the huge story today. We'll hear from Gardner Minshew
3:51
Speaker 1: coming up, but the first time in a long time
3:53
Speaker 1: we hear from Number seven. Yeah, and it's uh, it's
3:57
Speaker 1: fascinating the difference between him and Gardner Man chief. First
4:00
Speaker 1: of all, obviously the personalities are are completely different. Um
4:04
Speaker 1: and I think the million dollar question that will be
4:07
Speaker 1: answered Sunday that I don't know if we know the
4:09
Speaker 1: answer to, is what will this offense be different. Uh.
4:15
Speaker 1: I think the j wards hoped that the Folds effect
4:18
Speaker 1: is the ball getting out quicker, more efficiency on offense,
4:21
Speaker 1: that he will see things on the field that Gardner
4:25
Speaker 1: wasn't able to see as a rookie. UH. That he
4:27
Speaker 1: will completely passes and and that routes will be effective,
4:32
Speaker 1: and that plays will be effective that Gardner, just because
4:36
Speaker 1: of experience, didn't get to didn't see those reads. Uh.
4:39
Speaker 1: And if the offensive line will be helped by those
4:41
Speaker 1: things because Gardner won't be running into some sex which
4:44
Speaker 1: he did, which most rookie quarterbacks do so. Um. But
4:48
Speaker 1: all of that said, we've seen Folds free loving plays.
4:52
Speaker 1: So when people ask me and the others and people
4:54
Speaker 1: ask me, I just I'm talking to what will be different?
4:57
Speaker 1: I just don't think we know yet. It's a fascinating
5:00
Speaker 1: thing that this feels like an O and O team
5:04
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. But it's an O and
5:06
Speaker 1: O team with all the fresh start and the hope,
5:09
Speaker 1: but you gotta win, So there there's not the O
5:13
Speaker 1: and O feel optimism feel of the early season in
5:17
Speaker 1: the sense that that's all well and good, but if
5:19
Speaker 1: you don't win your four and six, so it's it's
5:21
Speaker 1: a must win game with a fresh start quarterback. Uh,
5:25
Speaker 1: it could go great, But there's the other side of it.
5:28
Speaker 1: So you know, it's it's a fascinating week to me
5:31
Speaker 1: on that front. Everybody's talked about the track records that
5:35
Speaker 1: Falls has late in seasons of of coming off the
5:38
Speaker 1: bench in the last two years in Philadelphia. I guess
5:41
Speaker 1: it's a similar idea of that here. But I mean,
5:44
Speaker 1: you gotta remember what was around him in Philadelphia as well.
5:47
Speaker 1: They had an offense that was rolling. They had the
5:50
Speaker 1: tight end room that was stacked really with Arts and
5:53
Speaker 1: the other guys there, and receivers that can really go
5:56
Speaker 1: get enough of these guys can't. But it was a
5:58
Speaker 1: little more proven around him. I think in Philadelphia that
6:01
Speaker 1: success came. Obviously he was a big part of that.
6:04
Speaker 1: But I think it's it's a kind of dangerous to you.
6:06
Speaker 1: You hope it could be that, but it's dangerous to
6:09
Speaker 1: compare those two. Well, what you hope is that, yes,
6:13
Speaker 1: he was dependent on the tight ends, but he also
6:18
Speaker 1: used Alton Jeffries, I mean as Sean Jeffries a lot.
6:21
Speaker 1: He also used the running backs a lot. I think
6:24
Speaker 1: from watching Folds with Philadelphia for watching him here he
6:30
Speaker 1: utilized the strength in the offense. You would hope that
6:33
Speaker 1: as a veteran quarterback, that's what he is and not
6:36
Speaker 1: a guy who was so tight end centric that he
6:38
Speaker 1: can't come off of it. I don't think it's what
6:40
Speaker 1: he has. I've never got any impression from talking to
6:42
Speaker 1: people that's what he is or watching him. So the
6:46
Speaker 1: big thing he brings in it. It's hard to verbalize this,
6:49
Speaker 1: but in the stats you kind of saw it. He
6:52
Speaker 1: was a legend in Philadelphia, big wins and his numbers.
6:57
Speaker 1: He had twelve touchdowns and six interceptions during that time.
7:00
Speaker 1: And you think twelve and stay in same age. That's
7:03
Speaker 1: not great. It's good, it's not great, But remember all
7:06
Speaker 1: of his experience in Philadelphia the last two years. We're
7:10
Speaker 1: in huge games, huge, huge, huge games where every drive mattered,
7:16
Speaker 1: and every defense he's playing is playing for their playoff live.
7:22
Speaker 1: So there's gonna be a few more mistakes, a few
7:24
Speaker 1: more bad things happen. What's impressive about Folds and what
7:28
Speaker 1: is sort of the his identifying characteristic and the reason
7:32
Speaker 1: they out and got him, his ability to overcome those situations,
7:36
Speaker 1: his ability Okay, interception, Fine, here's what we're gonna do
7:41
Speaker 1: to make up where here's here's where we're gonna go win.
7:43
Speaker 1: And uh, I don't think the numbers are as much
7:46
Speaker 1: as what he brings in terms of a winning philosophy,
7:51
Speaker 1: the ability to do that, the ability at as you mentioned, Okay,
7:55
Speaker 1: doesn't have the tight end. Well, we're gonna go to
7:58
Speaker 1: DJ Shark and Chris Conley in this drive and now
8:01
Speaker 1: use D. D. Westbrook as a scat receiver over the middle.
8:04
Speaker 1: Not a tight end. We're gonna get that out of that.
8:06
Speaker 1: I think you've got a guy who can who can
8:09
Speaker 1: adapt to his circumstance under fire and perform at a
8:13
Speaker 1: high level. That's certainly what you paid for. We heard
8:16
Speaker 1: from multiple quarterbacks today. Of course Nick Foles right after practice,
8:19
Speaker 1: then in the locker room Gardner Mentor the second speaking
8:22
Speaker 1: for the first time since the news that he was
8:26
Speaker 1: no longer going to be the starter. Was he disappointed
8:29
Speaker 1: a little bit obviously? Um, you know, because everybody wants
8:32
Speaker 1: to be that guy in the huddle. Um. But you
8:34
Speaker 1: know what, if you told me in the beginning of
8:35
Speaker 1: the year that I get to play half a season
8:37
Speaker 1: and then be able to learn, I just said I'll
8:39
Speaker 1: take that deal. You know what, I'm saying, so I
8:41
Speaker 1: got a lot of good experience and I'm also gonna
8:43
Speaker 1: be able to learn from one of the best dudes
8:45
Speaker 1: in the business. So he's taking it okay. You know.
8:47
Speaker 1: I think he's a competitor and a football player. He
8:49
Speaker 1: wants to play and be out there and help his
8:51
Speaker 1: team and do all that. But I think he kind
8:54
Speaker 1: of gets what's going on here. And for the Jaguars
8:57
Speaker 1: from their perspective, now you know what you have it
9:00
Speaker 1: least baseline of what you have in your backup quarterback,
9:03
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be a point at some point down
9:05
Speaker 1: the line here where he's on the field. Again, well,
9:07
Speaker 1: it means so much in so many different ways. Bare minimum,
9:11
Speaker 1: it gives them a backup quarterback that you know, it
9:14
Speaker 1: is in the top what third of the league and
9:16
Speaker 1: there's the backup quarterbacks. I think you would make that
9:19
Speaker 1: argument whatever the number is, they feel confident in him.
9:22
Speaker 1: Um it also, and I think this is not insignificant.
9:27
Speaker 1: Fast forwarding to next February when we're talking about the draft.
9:32
Speaker 1: This is a team that for X number of years
9:36
Speaker 1: has talked about do you take a quarterback in the draft?
9:39
Speaker 1: Where do you take him? Etcetera. Seven years they have,
9:41
Speaker 1: some years they haven't. Um, you've got two first round
9:45
Speaker 1: picks over the next two years, and two or four
9:48
Speaker 1: first round picks and two segment picks for the next
9:50
Speaker 1: two years. I don't get the idea that with Mintshew
9:54
Speaker 1: here and with Folds, but we meants you, being young,
9:57
Speaker 1: that they're gonna be worried about taking a quarterback in
9:59
Speaker 1: those two rounds. So all of a sudden, you don't
10:03
Speaker 1: have to worry about Okay, if we've got the say
10:07
Speaker 1: fifteen and twenty two picking the draft in the first round,
10:11
Speaker 1: you have to worry about packing those and go getting it.
10:14
Speaker 1: You can let the draft come to you can pick
10:15
Speaker 1: other positions. Uh. And so I think that's important. What
10:21
Speaker 1: he's given them is a feeling of we don't have
10:24
Speaker 1: to worry anymore about the quarterback position. Uh. Is that true?
10:29
Speaker 1: Only time will tell, But I think that's the feeling
10:31
Speaker 1: right now now looking ahead for this Jaguars team this season,
10:34
Speaker 1: of course, seven games to go, and they're up against it.
10:37
Speaker 1: They gotta win games, certainly these division games coming up
10:40
Speaker 1: in an Indie and in Nashville the next two weeks.
10:43
Speaker 1: And you see there on your screen what's coming up
10:45
Speaker 1: for this Jags team. We can look big picture, right,
10:48
Speaker 1: seven games to go, they need to win six seven
10:50
Speaker 1: of them. Whatever Tony was sell he's talked about locking
10:52
Speaker 1: all seven games and all that. But in the locker
10:55
Speaker 1: room you're hearing from guys, well, they can't really think
10:58
Speaker 1: that big. They know what's out there, but it's day
11:01
Speaker 1: to day, week to week. And we heard from a
11:03
Speaker 1: rookie of all things on this today, Josh Allen not
11:06
Speaker 1: focused on all seven. You know, we we can't really
11:08
Speaker 1: think about, you know, the season the rest of the season. Man.
11:11
Speaker 1: And because Marone made it a big emphasis, you know,
11:14
Speaker 1: I've been on that. I've been feeling like that, but
11:16
Speaker 1: since he said that, it was just the whole team
11:17
Speaker 1: and it made me feel a lot comfortable and that
11:20
Speaker 1: everybody's on the same page. Now. It's like, we're not
11:23
Speaker 1: focused on when we play the Chargers, that where we play,
11:26
Speaker 1: you know, then we're focused on today's practice. Then when
11:29
Speaker 1: that practice is over, we watched the film. Then we
11:31
Speaker 1: focus on the next day that once we get the
11:33
Speaker 1: game day, we're prepared and we're focused. That we're gonna
11:36
Speaker 1: do is focus on that game and execute with it.
11:38
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to see, you know how we're gonna
11:40
Speaker 1: play this week because I felt like we had a
11:41
Speaker 1: really good practice Monday and the day and I'm looking
11:45
Speaker 1: forward to this week. Josh Allen is not your average
11:47
Speaker 1: rookie to speak with you, as I think a grander
11:50
Speaker 1: kind of idea of of how things work in the NFL.
11:54
Speaker 1: So interesting to hear his thoughts on how they approached
11:57
Speaker 1: this thing moving ahead. And that's really all they can
11:59
Speaker 1: handle is what's right there in front of him. That's
12:01
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts this week. Yeah, and it's it's a
12:04
Speaker 1: tough matchup. For a few reasons, they're good. The other
12:09
Speaker 1: reason is that I've always thought late in the season
12:12
Speaker 1: that a team's circumstance matters a great deal the Jaguars.
12:17
Speaker 1: Unfortunately for the Jaguars, are going up to Indy with
12:19
Speaker 1: a team that steals a lot on the line, that's
12:22
Speaker 1: lost two in a row, that probably are are feeling
12:28
Speaker 1: as if this is a must win game for them.
12:31
Speaker 1: They're at home, so I think this is a It
12:34
Speaker 1: is a brutally tough matchup because the Cults have lost
12:38
Speaker 1: two in a row. The opposite side of that is
12:42
Speaker 1: they have a quarterback that you figure Jacoby Brissette, if
12:45
Speaker 1: he plays, which I believe he will, has got to
12:49
Speaker 1: be at least a little immobile. Um. But this is
12:54
Speaker 1: the Jaguars probably having to to deliver what would feel
12:58
Speaker 1: like a knockout blow to a team playing at home
13:03
Speaker 1: that is not a bad team when the quarterbacks playing.
13:05
Speaker 1: So this is I think they match up okay against
13:08
Speaker 1: the Colts, but I think this is a tougher matchup
13:10
Speaker 1: than they've had against the Colts in a long time.
13:12
Speaker 1: If you think about it, it's one of the first
13:14
Speaker 1: matchups between these two teams when both of them felt
13:18
Speaker 1: like they had legitimate playoff hopes in a long long time.
13:21
Speaker 1: It's uh in in two thousand and seven team when
13:24
Speaker 1: the Jaguars were first really getting started. All the games
13:26
Speaker 1: before that, you never really felt like the Jaguars had
13:28
Speaker 1: great playoff two seventeen they did, but the Colts for
13:31
Speaker 1: down last year. By the time they started playing the Colts,
13:36
Speaker 1: it's sort of felt like the Jaguars season was sliding
13:38
Speaker 1: away from and the Colts were getting better. So this
13:41
Speaker 1: is really the first time in a long long time
13:43
Speaker 1: that these franchises both have played a big game in
13:46
Speaker 1: November with with with a lot on the line. Interesting Colts,
13:50
Speaker 1: I just put out their injury report for today. Jacob
13:53
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette was full and the head coach there, Frank Reich,
13:57
Speaker 1: said if he was full practice through Wednesday, he would
13:59
Speaker 1: play on Sunday. So it sounds like he's going on Sunday. Yeah,
14:02
Speaker 1: And you wonder about the mobility. Um. Interesting thing about
14:07
Speaker 1: the Colts is right now they feel like in the league,
14:13
Speaker 1: feels like and it's played like this over the last
14:15
Speaker 1: couple of years. They feel like they have one of
14:17
Speaker 1: the best offensive lines in the league, and it's a
14:20
Speaker 1: calling card form. At the same time, the group really
14:24
Speaker 1: hasn't played consistently as it did last year, when pretty
14:29
Speaker 1: much all last year it felt like it was the
14:30
Speaker 1: best offensive or one of the best two of three
14:32
Speaker 1: lines in football. So is that line playing like it is?
14:37
Speaker 1: Can they clear holes from Marlon mack uh To me,
14:41
Speaker 1: the Jaguars season, all their games from here on out
14:44
Speaker 1: will depend on can they stop the run enough to
14:47
Speaker 1: put pressure on the quarterback. This team can put quarterback
14:49
Speaker 1: on any You can put pressure on any quarterback regardless
14:52
Speaker 1: of line if they get leads. So I think that's
14:55
Speaker 1: the matchup to watch Jaguar's pass rush against the Colts
14:58
Speaker 1: offensive line. It will be matter of the Jaguars getting
15:01
Speaker 1: a lead and be able to tell off from reach
15:02
Speaker 1: of the past front to stop that run. As you said,
15:04
Speaker 1: there's been moments this here it hasn't looked very good
15:06
Speaker 1: at all where they miss a gap or an assignment
15:08
Speaker 1: and that goes the distance. And other times they've played
15:11
Speaker 1: well against it. But it's got to be a week
15:13
Speaker 1: over a week consistency the rest of the way. Yeah.
15:15
Speaker 1: To me, it's the whole key. I mean, I get
15:17
Speaker 1: it folds as a key. I said a couple of
15:19
Speaker 1: times this week. The Jaguars season Now, I think they
15:24
Speaker 1: would feel good about this in in August if you
15:27
Speaker 1: told them this. It's gonna depend on their two major
15:29
Speaker 1: offseason acquisitions Josh Allen's last pass rush and not Nick
15:33
Speaker 1: Foles the quarterback. If we're grading those as a pluses
15:37
Speaker 1: in December, you're probably in the playoff chase. If either
15:40
Speaker 1: of them are May and you're probably in trouble plenty ahead.
15:44
Speaker 1: On Jaguars Happy Hour today, we're back in a moment
15:46
Speaker 1: with players to watch for this week. Well, John and
15:49
Speaker 1: I will pick our guys to to watch it Lucas

18:06
Speaker 1: Hour presented by the Fields Auto Group on a Wednesday,
18:10
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick, John Ozier Jags Colts coming up Sunday,
18:13
Speaker 1: one o'clock, Lucas Oil Standing in Downtown Indie. First two
18:16
Speaker 1: meetings this year between the division rivals. They'll be back.
18:19
Speaker 1: The Colts will be back in Jacksonville Week seven, team
18:23
Speaker 1: to wrap up the regular year, and time will tell
18:26
Speaker 1: if that game has meaning. This one certainly does, and
18:30
Speaker 1: a big swing game in the middle part of the
18:33
Speaker 1: season in the a f C south of the Jags win,
18:35
Speaker 1: they could be um, they could be a second place
18:38
Speaker 1: in the division at the end of the day. Yeah,
18:40
Speaker 1: And that's why I mean there was a lot of
18:43
Speaker 1: kick back on Sunday in the ozone mail bag when
18:47
Speaker 1: you know the Titans one all of a sudden, Jaguars
18:51
Speaker 1: in last place. Well, just is important? Was the Colts
18:55
Speaker 1: losing with the Dolphins which brought them back. And so
19:00
Speaker 1: if if the Jaguars would win on Sunday, which I'm
19:04
Speaker 1: not sure which way I'm picking, I think this is
19:05
Speaker 1: a really tough matchup for the Jags. I think it
19:08
Speaker 1: could set them up for a lot, but it's just
19:11
Speaker 1: a big week eleven game. But if they win, I
19:15
Speaker 1: hope the same people who were, oh, well, they're in
19:18
Speaker 1: last place and it shows that nobody here knows what
19:20
Speaker 1: they're doing. Well if they win there in second place,
19:22
Speaker 1: so all of a sudden, they're great. Right it's a
19:25
Speaker 1: week to weekly lately. Yeah, so just just my little thought. Okay, well,
19:31
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of big games to come.
19:32
Speaker 1: If you you get this one this week, then the
19:35
Speaker 1: next one becomes big. A Tennessee of course, a place
19:37
Speaker 1: where historically over the last a few several years, the
19:40
Speaker 1: Jacks are not played well in Nashville, But that becomes
19:43
Speaker 1: the big game. It's un vision game and all that.
19:45
Speaker 1: When you're average, and this has been an average team
19:47
Speaker 1: this year. It was a very good team in seventeen,
19:49
Speaker 1: not a very good team last week. When you're average, uh,
19:52
Speaker 1: through October November, they all matter because you haven't given
19:56
Speaker 1: yourself any room for air, and they all feel like
19:58
Speaker 1: must wins. And right now there's there are some average
20:02
Speaker 1: teams in this league that we all think of his average.
20:04
Speaker 1: Right now, they're gonna get hot and then they're not
20:06
Speaker 1: gonna be average in December. So you have to like
20:11
Speaker 1: the Jaguars chances of being one of those teams. They
20:14
Speaker 1: are healthy, and regardless of whether Brissette is on the
20:19
Speaker 1: injury reporter or it's full or not, he's on the
20:22
Speaker 1: injury report with the knee, so he's not healthy. So
20:25
Speaker 1: you have a healthy team going gets a team with
20:26
Speaker 1: a quarterback on the injury report. That's skill, guys, it's
20:30
Speaker 1: supposed to work to your advantage. But as I'm sure
20:33
Speaker 1: anybody in this locker room would say, as as I'm
20:35
Speaker 1: sure Chris Conner would say when he gets in here.
20:37
Speaker 1: M for the last few weeks feels like we're talking
20:40
Speaker 1: about scenarios at some point. If they win, they will
20:45
Speaker 1: take care of their own scenarios. But you gotta win
20:47
Speaker 1: and it if if you don't win, then you're talking
20:51
Speaker 1: about mathematics and miracles the rest of the way. And
20:53
Speaker 1: that's that's what you don't want to be talking about,
20:55
Speaker 1: not at all in December. Let's get our players to
20:58
Speaker 1: watch for this week's game. You know, last week we
21:01
Speaker 1: had this show on Wednesday and it was an earlier
21:03
Speaker 1: version and it was getaway day before the bye week.
21:06
Speaker 1: So we picked our players to watch, you know, the
21:08
Speaker 1: in the second half, the back seven games of the season.
21:12
Speaker 1: So I decided, you know what, if I'm gonna pick
21:14
Speaker 1: him for the back half of the season, I might
21:16
Speaker 1: as well pick him for this week as well. So
21:18
Speaker 1: I'm going with the same guys are picked last week,
21:19
Speaker 1: and it's Leonard for NET on the offensive side with
21:23
Speaker 1: Foles in there. And I know Foles would be the
21:25
Speaker 1: easy one. Yeah, he's the quarterback. He's coming back. If
21:28
Speaker 1: they spread it out a little bit somehow, if they
21:31
Speaker 1: can have a consistent passing game, maybe it opens it
21:34
Speaker 1: up a little more for Leonard for thatte down the stretch.
21:37
Speaker 1: And you see what he's done this year so far,
21:40
Speaker 1: eight D thirty one yards on the ground, He's right
21:43
Speaker 1: there near the top of the league and yards from scrimmage,
21:45
Speaker 1: so he's been active in the passing game too. He
21:47
Speaker 1: can be an option for Foles out of the backfield
21:49
Speaker 1: and maybe even over the middle of the field at
21:52
Speaker 1: the tight end isn't working on. I think this is
21:55
Speaker 1: a big one for Leonard for NET and we'll see
21:58
Speaker 1: if he can get things done this week and in
22:00
Speaker 1: Annapolis against a pretty good Colts defense as well, by
22:03
Speaker 1: the way, Yeah, And I think a big thing you
22:06
Speaker 1: mentioned it'll be interesting to me how they use him
22:10
Speaker 1: in the passing game going forward. I don't know that
22:13
Speaker 1: you'll necessarily see him get significantly more touches, but I've
22:19
Speaker 1: got to think that there will be times in this
22:21
Speaker 1: less seven games where Foles goes to the line and
22:24
Speaker 1: is able to put for net in good situations, uh
22:29
Speaker 1: for big plays that perhaps Minshew didn't see when he
22:32
Speaker 1: went to the line. And you know, there will be
22:35
Speaker 1: things in this offense that I think when you ask
22:38
Speaker 1: how will it be different, it's hard to pinpoint it,
22:42
Speaker 1: and and we may not even know from watching it
22:44
Speaker 1: how it's different or what he did. But I think
22:47
Speaker 1: there will be cases where Folds at the line and
22:50
Speaker 1: something that Gardner wouldn't have even had a chance to
22:52
Speaker 1: think of. Because he knows three levels of the offense,
22:57
Speaker 1: Folds may be able to get people into a position
23:01
Speaker 1: simply because of his knowledge of the offense. So I
23:03
Speaker 1: think for it and Glennard Fournette, based on what we
23:07
Speaker 1: saw in Philadelphia where they used the running back out
23:09
Speaker 1: of the backfield, it's just so much as they did
23:10
Speaker 1: the tight end, we may see him benefit on that front. Defensively,
23:15
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep an eye on Unique and I think
23:17
Speaker 1: a lot of people will. And that's the guy picked
23:20
Speaker 1: last week for the back half of the season. The
23:22
Speaker 1: last three weeks before the bye week, you see there,
23:25
Speaker 1: he's been very good. Five tackles for lost, five quarterback hits,
23:30
Speaker 1: the sacked numbers, he's got two in the last three games,
23:32
Speaker 1: four for the season. But he's made more of an
23:35
Speaker 1: all around impact this year, especially as of late, in
23:39
Speaker 1: the running game, in the backfield, doing things there, and
23:42
Speaker 1: that sets up well for this Jaguars defense down the stretch.
23:45
Speaker 1: He Doug Morone earlier this week, I was asked about
23:48
Speaker 1: the last three weeks and Unique getting warmed up and
23:52
Speaker 1: what do you expect down the stretch, and Um spoke
23:54
Speaker 1: very highly about his run defense, especially the last three weeks,
23:58
Speaker 1: and UM, that's something that you know over the last
24:01
Speaker 1: couple of years has gotten better, but I think this
24:04
Speaker 1: is the year where it needs to get better, and
24:06
Speaker 1: certainly in the contract a year and everything going on
24:08
Speaker 1: around that. But he's been fantastic lately and I think
24:12
Speaker 1: that can continue, especially if you get the other guy's rolling,
24:15
Speaker 1: if they get in those situations where they can get
24:18
Speaker 1: the pass rush going. I know he's seen a lot
24:20
Speaker 1: of double teams and all that, but if they can
24:22
Speaker 1: get more of a pass rush situation, get leads, and
24:25
Speaker 1: do all the that you said earlier, I think Unique
24:27
Speaker 1: can step up and have a big game. And even
24:30
Speaker 1: this week in Indianapolis he's healthy. There was talk early
24:34
Speaker 1: and people are asking, well, he's not getting sacks early.
24:38
Speaker 1: Is this because he's not trying because of his contract? Well,
24:42
Speaker 1: that's not in his that's that in his d n A.
24:46
Speaker 1: Once healthy, he's been back to the exact same player
24:49
Speaker 1: he's been for three years, which is a guy who
24:52
Speaker 1: gives maximum effort uh consistently when they have a lead.
24:57
Speaker 1: He is a devastatingly good player. And I'm not sure
25:01
Speaker 1: the stat I think he has six and a half
25:03
Speaker 1: sacks against the Colts in the last eight games or
25:06
Speaker 1: four and a half in the last six some very
25:08
Speaker 1: good number out of the last x number of games.
25:12
Speaker 1: That stands reason because this team has matched up well
25:15
Speaker 1: against the Colts, they have had leads against the Colts.
25:17
Speaker 1: He's been able to play his game against the Colts,
25:20
Speaker 1: so he uh. I would expect that if they can
25:23
Speaker 1: stay in the game and get a lead that he
25:26
Speaker 1: will be productive this year. This week five and a
25:28
Speaker 1: half sacks against the Colts from sixteen, so that's and
25:33
Speaker 1: that's if you have had over sixteen games, you're getting
25:37
Speaker 1: fourteen sacks. So that's he plays well against this team
25:40
Speaker 1: because they've won what five of seven games against the Colts,
25:44
Speaker 1: so they've had leads, they've been competitive where he can shine.
25:47
Speaker 1: He's not going to be a great player if you're
25:49
Speaker 1: down by fourteen points because he's a pass rush and
25:52
Speaker 1: that's what he is for net and in God played
25:56
Speaker 1: for me and now for you. It was a guy
25:58
Speaker 1: I think on offense that we didn't think the loss
26:02
Speaker 1: of him in London would be would be as big
26:04
Speaker 1: as it turned out to be. But he's back now
26:08
Speaker 1: and that's good news for the offer. What's d D. Westbrook?
26:10
Speaker 1: And uh, you know I've said a couple of times
26:14
Speaker 1: on various airs that I missed going in. I didn't realize, Hey,
26:20
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if he's gonna play or not against
26:21
Speaker 1: the Texans. Wasn't sure what his impact would be if
26:25
Speaker 1: he didn't. When you right now be d D. Chris Conley,
26:31
Speaker 1: Cole or shark, I wrote for my quick thoughts with
26:35
Speaker 1: Brian Sexton tomorrow. I don't think you can afford to
26:38
Speaker 1: lose any of your top four wide receivers right after
26:40
Speaker 1: the Jags. It's critically important, especially the top three, because
26:43
Speaker 1: they don't have a tight end or a a tight
26:46
Speaker 1: end that you trust the defense after the game plan
26:48
Speaker 1: for So, when they lost D. D. Westbrook, all of
26:50
Speaker 1: a sudden, they were down to Celan Cole, d J
26:53
Speaker 1: hr and Chris Conley. That's fine, except they're pretty much
26:56
Speaker 1: right now you're only threats in the passing game anywhere. Um,
27:00
Speaker 1: that makes it tough. So him being back, him being
27:04
Speaker 1: able to work the middle of the field, and what
27:07
Speaker 1: will be interesting to watch with with D. D. Westbrook.
27:10
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how much it translates, but if you
27:12
Speaker 1: remember preseason him against Miami, Foles went to him all
27:17
Speaker 1: the time. He was the top receiver, went into him constantly.
27:21
Speaker 1: I don't know that it will be to that extreme,
27:23
Speaker 1: but Foals clearly as a comfort level with Westbrook, clearly
27:26
Speaker 1: knows how to use him, So I think he is
27:28
Speaker 1: a player to watch that only now the rest of
27:30
Speaker 1: the season. They need their top three healthy. All right,
27:33
Speaker 1: that's an excellent point. Yes, yes, they do. And you
27:35
Speaker 1: saw in London what the some of the issues were
27:38
Speaker 1: when he was not out there. Defensively, it's the quarterback
27:42
Speaker 1: of the defense. Yeah, with mine was jack Um. He's important.
27:47
Speaker 1: I think he's a guy to watch as you go forward,
27:50
Speaker 1: not necessarily to question whether he would play at a
27:55
Speaker 1: high level. I think he played at a higher level
27:57
Speaker 1: during the first half the season, a higher level than
28:01
Speaker 1: people thought. Uh. He had a bad game against Carolina.
28:05
Speaker 1: There was some some missed assignments early on his part
28:11
Speaker 1: that were more because of what he was trying to
28:15
Speaker 1: make for makeup for around him than they were his
28:18
Speaker 1: own air. And and it comes down to his air
28:20
Speaker 1: because he's jumping out of a gap. But I think
28:23
Speaker 1: as time has gone on, especially since the Carolina game,
28:26
Speaker 1: he's played at a very high level and he will
28:28
Speaker 1: continue that. Now. I will be curious to see how
28:33
Speaker 1: he and the rest of what is now a healthy
28:35
Speaker 1: linebacker group. Can they be consistent against the run over
28:38
Speaker 1: the last seven games this season? Um, they weren't over
28:42
Speaker 1: the first seven because of injuries. Can they stay healthy
28:45
Speaker 1: and play as they did against New Orleans, Cincinnati, the Jets. Um,
28:50
Speaker 1: I think if they have more than one game where
28:55
Speaker 1: it feels like it's out of control against them with
28:59
Speaker 1: the other team running. I don't make I don't think
29:02
Speaker 1: the team may make the playoffs. I think it has
29:04
Speaker 1: to be a consistent run stopping unit and it starts
29:07
Speaker 1: with Miles and I'm confident that he will play at
29:10
Speaker 1: a level that enables them to do that. Do you
29:13
Speaker 1: have it? Westbrook and Jack for John Oscher? I had
29:17
Speaker 1: for that and in Gockway players to watch this week
29:20
Speaker 1: against the Indianapolis Colts. You'll get to watch those players

31:55
Speaker 1: after coming off London. So it was a good few
31:58
Speaker 1: days off kind of reset and getting ready for the

32:02
Speaker 1: when every equipment guy was out we got to come in.
32:07
Speaker 1: We kind of rotated it around, um to where everybody
32:10
Speaker 1: got a couple of days off. Yeah, I think Thursday
32:14
Speaker 1: was the day. I was like, I'm not talking to
32:15
Speaker 1: anybody from the stadium. I think JP even tried to
32:18
Speaker 1: call me and I'm like, no, I'm not only choice,
32:23
Speaker 1: that's not real. But no. Yeah, So we all rotated
32:26
Speaker 1: around and Uh got a little time off. It was nice. Now, well,
32:32
Speaker 1: you know, going up there, the roof could be open,
32:39
Speaker 1: could be closed. Do you have to get do you
32:42
Speaker 1: have to take uh gear based on that or do
32:46
Speaker 1: you assume it's closed or how do you? Yeah, it's
32:48
Speaker 1: it's funny. Indie is kind of one of those places
32:51
Speaker 1: where you say, hey, what's what's the is the roof
32:53
Speaker 1: gonna be open? With Well, we don't have to tell
32:55
Speaker 1: you till ninety minutes before the game, and that that's
32:58
Speaker 1: kind of their line. We're like the guys in Houston,
33:01
Speaker 1: They're like, it's probably gonna be close, you know, and
33:04
Speaker 1: they have some more like strict guidelines too. Nations they
33:08
Speaker 1: can um. But I try to get them back, you know,
33:10
Speaker 1: like we sent them. We send them a little list
33:13
Speaker 1: like you know what you want or what you need,
33:15
Speaker 1: And I'm like, hey, if the roots gonna be open,
33:16
Speaker 1: can we have heated benches? Um? I don't. I don't
33:19
Speaker 1: think they have heated benches. That's kind of why I
33:21
Speaker 1: do that. But it was it was um but they
33:26
Speaker 1: don't want to be cold either, so um. But it
33:29
Speaker 1: was closed last week, UM and it was forty nine degrees.
33:33
Speaker 1: I think it's supposed to be forty degrees this week. Now,
33:37
Speaker 1: we'll we'll definitely throw our cold weather trunks on the
33:39
Speaker 1: truck and we'll put them on first and they'll be
33:42
Speaker 1: in the back and you know, so it'll be there
33:44
Speaker 1: if we need it. Um, I don't really foresee it
33:47
Speaker 1: being open. Um, you know it's gonna be cold. I think,
33:52
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, we've got polos out there in a
33:55
Speaker 1: little chili. Um. So yeah, that's part of you know,
33:58
Speaker 1: kind of the boy scout montro Be for air. Um.
34:01
Speaker 1: You know, but hopefully we don't need it. Today. On
34:04
Speaker 1: the practice field, they're wearing Salute to Service practice uniforms.
34:09
Speaker 1: Those are pretty neat where no the that we will
34:12
Speaker 1: will they wear them all months? What's the deal with them? Um,
34:15
Speaker 1: We'll probably will definitely wear them this week. We kind
34:17
Speaker 1: of see how it goes. It kind of went over
34:18
Speaker 1: pretty well today. Um, November is Salute Service Month. We've
34:22
Speaker 1: got Salute Service game. Our road game is this week
34:24
Speaker 1: against Indie and then um back actually it'll be in December.
34:29
Speaker 1: Our next home game will be Salute Service home game.
34:32
Speaker 1: But um, but yeah, it was kind of an honor
34:34
Speaker 1: of that, UM, the Foundation and those guys. UM, what
34:37
Speaker 1: they're gonna do is we'll wear them and then they'll
34:39
Speaker 1: auction them off and then the money will go to
34:41
Speaker 1: the foundation. So that was kind of a thing to
34:44
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, get back and we'll we'll use
34:46
Speaker 1: that money for for the programs that the foundation uses
34:49
Speaker 1: for some of their outreach stuff. So the black quarterback
34:51
Speaker 1: jerseys were really sweet. Yeah, everybody seemed to want those.
34:55
Speaker 1: Leonard wanted a black jersey and we said, well, you're
34:57
Speaker 1: not a quarterback. He's like, well, I can play one.
35:00
Speaker 1: So he probably just didn't let it in there. No,
35:03
Speaker 1: he you're gonna hear about that one for a while.
35:05
Speaker 1: I think that's right now. This is just the Jaguar
35:08
Speaker 1: thing or Yeah, it was just it was no, it
35:10
Speaker 1: was just something we did. Um. I think some other
35:12
Speaker 1: teams I've done it at different times. Um. I think
35:15
Speaker 1: Philly has done it maybe during training camp and the
35:17
Speaker 1: Falcons and some of those that I, um I used,
35:21
Speaker 1: you know, some of their input on that and how
35:23
Speaker 1: to do it. So but no, it was cool. Yeah,
35:25
Speaker 1: I thought it whenever, well, guys seemed to like it. Um.
35:28
Speaker 1: The camera numbers ironically worked kind of hard to see
35:32
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, So I guess that works. That's the idea.
35:37
Speaker 1: I guess, well done. Um alright, so a road trip
35:41
Speaker 1: coming up the Jaguars and Indy. Are you ready to
35:44
Speaker 1: unveil what the Jaguars We're ready to roll here? What
35:46
Speaker 1: you got for us? We got to go with the
35:48
Speaker 1: black pants. Okay, black pants, and we will go with
35:53
Speaker 1: the white jerseys, white jerseys, black pant Abrey Jones. Both
35:58
Speaker 1: his parents are in the military or drama I believe, veterans,
36:02
Speaker 1: and so that's why I picked him this week. Very cool.
36:05
Speaker 1: It's a big jersey. Yeah, And Naves is a good dude.
36:07
Speaker 1: I like him. He can go to Georgia. He's a
36:09
Speaker 1: great guy, and he's one of the guys. He's a
36:12
Speaker 1: go to guy in the locker room when anything's going on.
36:14
Speaker 1: He can give you some he is. He's drastic guy.
36:19
Speaker 1: That's been great. So he's good to us and I
36:23
Speaker 1: like him, even though, like I said, he did go
36:24
Speaker 1: to Georgia and I'm a Georgia tech guy. But good
36:27
Speaker 1: old fashioned, clean, old fashioned hate, right they call that. Yeah,
36:30
Speaker 1: it's probably not gonna go well this year for me,
36:33
Speaker 1: but it's you have ups and downs, white, I would say,
36:39
Speaker 1: you'll have your your years sometimes soon, but I'm not
36:41
Speaker 1: sure it's true. Yeah, I don't. I don't know. Kind
36:44
Speaker 1: of recruit differently, Yeah, i'd say, um, Jimmy, well done,
36:48
Speaker 1: thank you all right? Yeah, enjoy it up there in
36:50
Speaker 1: Indy wear dress warm, but I'll have it there hopefully

Speaker 1: and we're glad you were with us. Coming up Chris Conley,
39:49
Speaker 1: Jaguar's wide receiver when meetings are done, and we're told
39:54
Speaker 1: his guest today is guard a j Can who's been
39:57
Speaker 1: around here for a number of years, and he'll have
39:59
Speaker 1: some good perspect of on the offense and Nick Foles
40:02
Speaker 1: coming back and all, you know what, his fifth year now,
40:05
Speaker 1: and uh, he's a guy that your guards. Lineman, every
40:11
Speaker 1: mistake is sort of magnified, so people love to sort
40:14
Speaker 1: of bash offensive Lineman. He's taking some criticism over the years,
40:17
Speaker 1: but he's having a pretty good year this year and he's, uh,
40:20
Speaker 1: he's doing a nice job. And people who break down
40:23
Speaker 1: film and analyze it will tell you that he's having
40:24
Speaker 1: one of his better years here. So I like the guy. Well,
40:29
Speaker 1: we'll hear from him coming up. Chris Connley as well.
40:31
Speaker 1: Right around the corner an FC South standings. We touched
40:34
Speaker 1: on them earlier. Let's have a look at them now.
40:37
Speaker 1: And of course, the Houston Texans lead the way in
40:39
Speaker 1: the division at through week ten six and three, Indie
40:43
Speaker 1: five and four, Tennessee and then Jacksonville four and five.
40:46
Speaker 1: And this is how it can swing. As we said earlier,
40:49
Speaker 1: if the Jags win here, then they can jump up.
40:51
Speaker 1: They've beaten Indie, would have beaten India. If they win
40:54
Speaker 1: this week and I've already beaten Tennessee, they would be
40:57
Speaker 1: in second place with the tiebreaker over those two teams,
41:00
Speaker 1: with only Houston ahead of them. And of course if
41:03
Speaker 1: you drop one here it gets treacherous in a hurry
41:06
Speaker 1: at best in this division, well, it just shows you
41:10
Speaker 1: how you know perception and in a league where's only
41:15
Speaker 1: sixteen games, everything swings so much in particularly games, it's
41:20
Speaker 1: it's the nature of the beast. Had the Jaguars won
41:24
Speaker 1: either of their games against the Texans and you say, well,
41:26
Speaker 1: you know, no way they're gonna win in London, well,
41:29
Speaker 1: basically what that graphics showed you is the Jaguars are
41:35
Speaker 1: three inches from first place. It's about right because if
41:39
Speaker 1: for Ned gets in in week three or week and
41:42
Speaker 1: now I'm not I'm not saying they have played like
41:45
Speaker 1: a first place team because they haven't for the most parts.
41:49
Speaker 1: Why they're not there. But that's the reality of the
41:51
Speaker 1: league is that's how close they are to being in
41:55
Speaker 1: first place. Everything out in front of them, but they didn't.
41:58
Speaker 1: So now they're up against it. And that's how that's
42:02
Speaker 1: why they play the games. That makes a great league.
42:04
Speaker 1: That's the truth. Let's take a look at the bigger picture,
42:06
Speaker 1: the a f C playoff picture, and we take a
42:08
Speaker 1: look at the standings and the division leaders. First off,
42:12
Speaker 1: New England of course eight and won. Baltimore is on
42:15
Speaker 1: a roll right now. Houston and Kansas City if it
42:19
Speaker 1: ended today, and it never does, but if it did,
42:23
Speaker 1: but I hope if not. If it did, it'd be
42:26
Speaker 1: Buffalo and it would be trouble for everybody else for
42:30
Speaker 1: a lot of it, a lot of things outside of
42:32
Speaker 1: football too. Um in the hunt though you could probably
42:36
Speaker 1: chop that off after the Chargers, yeah, I guess, and
42:41
Speaker 1: be okay, Raiders, Colts, Titans, Jags, Chargers, Broncos and Cleveland
42:46
Speaker 1: really have to win out to even have a hope here.
42:50
Speaker 1: But for the Jaguars, you play everybody on in the
42:52
Speaker 1: Hunt in the wild Card except the Steelers in the Bills.
42:56
Speaker 1: So you're playing everybody, uh in the in the Hunt
42:59
Speaker 1: ground because the Broncos and the Browns and you've already
43:02
Speaker 1: played the Broncos and beat them. Some team out of
43:05
Speaker 1: that in the Hunt is going to get hot and
43:09
Speaker 1: probably make the Wild Card. I. You know, there's no
43:14
Speaker 1: reason can't be the Jacks. Everything has lined up. They've
43:20
Speaker 1: got the quarterback back. From a national perspective, and sometimes
43:25
Speaker 1: it's perceived different nationally and locally. Locally, there's all the
43:29
Speaker 1: arguing over Minshew and there's still maybe some sort of
43:33
Speaker 1: hangover from the Jalen Ramsey thing, you know what, you're
43:35
Speaker 1: not whatever, But nationally, most people look at that and
43:38
Speaker 1: say they have done a great job surviving without Nick Foles.
43:41
Speaker 1: Now they have their quarterback back. There a game out.
43:43
Speaker 1: This is a team that you've got to watch, so uh,
43:47
Speaker 1: that's what it is. Our regular co host on this
43:51
Speaker 1: program every week joins us in studio now wide receiver
43:54
Speaker 1: Chris Conley. Welcome back. After the by Chris. How are you, sir?
43:57
Speaker 1: Doing well? Doing well? Good to be here, Uh, glad
44:01
Speaker 1: to be back in Jacksonville, back at work and special
44:04
Speaker 1: day to be joined by the illustrious a J. Can
44:09
Speaker 1: welcome illustrious get close to the mike if yeah, I'm
44:12
Speaker 1: sorry microphone etiquette. Yeah sorry, sorry, sorry, Appalachian State fan.
44:18
Speaker 1: I can't believe Juggler. I've known a J. I feel
44:25
Speaker 1: like I can get there and it's rough in here.
44:29
Speaker 1: Spent a lot of time, dude, so I had a
44:30
Speaker 1: little connections. Actually, yeah, but you beat Georgia. We did,
44:37
Speaker 1: so I know he was supposed I know. I'm surprised
44:41
Speaker 1: I didn't take it. I'm not going to wait over here.
44:43
Speaker 1: You know what. He didn't make me do it, which
44:45
Speaker 1: is which is crazy. But I like a J. So
44:48
Speaker 1: even if we would have won, I wouldn't have made
44:49
Speaker 1: him wear anything. There's a couple of guys in there,
44:51
Speaker 1: oh that I'm I'm coming after. But a J and
44:54
Speaker 1: a J. We go way back. Is that why he
44:56
Speaker 1: wasn't the guest a couple of weeks back? No? No,
44:58
Speaker 1: actually he had some stuff that feeling he was supposed
45:00
Speaker 1: to but he had some things come up. Um, He
45:03
Speaker 1: was actually supposed to be on like shortly after that game,
45:06
Speaker 1: but he had some things come up. But you know
45:07
Speaker 1: he's here now. Yeah, I told him that's on the
45:09
Speaker 1: homies spot. I'm gonna making him today. Today's today. But
45:12
Speaker 1: we're glad to have you. But you wouldn't if I
45:14
Speaker 1: was going there. If you would have win there, I
45:15
Speaker 1: probably would have to buy today. Uh story number one today.
45:21
Speaker 1: Nick Foles at the podium. He's back, He's starting this week.
45:24
Speaker 1: You guys are both on offense. How different will this feel?
45:29
Speaker 1: Is it any different from the last week's And what
45:31
Speaker 1: do you expect from Number seven this week? I can
45:33
Speaker 1: already say outside um lining up on the outside, things
45:36
Speaker 1: are different. Things are different breaking the huddle, coming out. Uh.
45:41
Speaker 1: You know, just seven has a different, different presence in
45:43
Speaker 1: the huddle, the way that he likes to play the game,
45:45
Speaker 1: His tempo cadence is much different. So it's been good
45:49
Speaker 1: this week to be able to get that work with
45:50
Speaker 1: him being the huddle, communicate with him, and just get
45:53
Speaker 1: a feel for how that communication is going to go
45:56
Speaker 1: on Sunday. It's been different, but it's been very good
45:59
Speaker 1: and I feel like we've been making strides and being productive.
46:03
Speaker 1: Why for the fan, it doesn't understand why are the
46:06
Speaker 1: things you just said important. Why is tempo and cadence
46:09
Speaker 1: and what he brings as a veteran guy, and it's
46:12
Speaker 1: important from talking to players every years, But why does
46:14
Speaker 1: that matter so much? Well, you know, tempo. Tempo is
46:17
Speaker 1: one thing. You can really gain a lot of momentum
46:20
Speaker 1: from the way that a quarterback decides to go at tempo.
46:23
Speaker 1: You know, every quarterback has a different speed at which
46:25
Speaker 1: they like to play the game, whether it's no huddle,
46:28
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, they want to get to play
46:30
Speaker 1: in fast, get up to the line, make audibles, which
46:32
Speaker 1: Nick is one of those guys. He wants to get
46:33
Speaker 1: to play in early so that he can get to
46:34
Speaker 1: the line, to the defense, make changes if he wants
46:36
Speaker 1: to uh, and you know everybody everybody does a little
46:39
Speaker 1: bit different. Cadence is another thing because you can you
46:43
Speaker 1: can really affect a defense with cadence and vice versa.
46:47
Speaker 1: If you're not very good at cadence, cadence can negatively
46:49
Speaker 1: affect an offense. And so that's just a lot of
46:51
Speaker 1: communication has to go on when you make a change
46:54
Speaker 1: like that. That's something on the offensive line, right, I
46:57
Speaker 1: was thinking my head, yes, because that cadence is a
46:59
Speaker 1: big thing because you especially, uh, for an away game,
47:02
Speaker 1: you know, we'll be on salad count and they're getting
47:05
Speaker 1: tea off on the snap count. You know he's gonna
47:06
Speaker 1: be switching it up and it gets a defensive line
47:09
Speaker 1: off balance. They don't know what snap count is on,
47:11
Speaker 1: especially when you're talking about Katie. I had to refresh
47:13
Speaker 1: my memory because Nick was out of using them all.
47:14
Speaker 1: I'm like, which one is that one? Like it was crazy?
47:16
Speaker 1: He was, yeah, yeah, that's interesting stuff now and let's
47:21
Speaker 1: touch quickly. I mean we talked about this before you
47:23
Speaker 1: guys went away on the buy. But the job Gardener did,
47:27
Speaker 1: and we heard from Gardener today and you know he
47:29
Speaker 1: wants to play and contribute, but he knows, he understands.
47:32
Speaker 1: It feels like what he did for this offense a
47:34
Speaker 1: j is pretty It's remarkable. My heads off to him. Man. Uh,
47:38
Speaker 1: he did a hell of a job for a rookie,
47:40
Speaker 1: you know, quarterback coming in and it's playmaking, seals off
47:43
Speaker 1: the charge. Man. He was able to do things that
47:45
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't expect. But you know, for for us,
47:48
Speaker 1: you know, as as older guys coming in and watching
47:50
Speaker 1: them and then just man, I was I was just
47:52
Speaker 1: as big as a fan that for him as anybody
47:54
Speaker 1: else was. It was. It was incredible good stuff. Man,
47:57
Speaker 1: it's really good for this franchise. Moving ahead here too. Um, okay,
48:00
Speaker 1: division games here coming up, Division game singular. That's how
48:05
Speaker 1: you away. I've corrected. But is getting to the point
48:11
Speaker 1: where we talk about the week at hand, and you know,
48:14
Speaker 1: I like that. You know, first weekend here it was like, oh,
48:17
Speaker 1: these games on the sleigh and I was like, well, well,
48:19
Speaker 1: what we got one We got one game this week,
48:22
Speaker 1: so let's you know. But now we're we're getting close.
48:24
Speaker 1: We're almost there. Oh, person right here. But really like
48:32
Speaker 1: this is this is this is really a big week
48:34
Speaker 1: for us, A really big week for us, going up
48:37
Speaker 1: against a colts team, Uh that's that's had some injury,
48:40
Speaker 1: a little bit of adversity, but that's played really well
48:43
Speaker 1: this year. A team that has a lot of confidence,
48:46
Speaker 1: I have a lot of confidence on defense and the
48:48
Speaker 1: guys that they have out there. A really good challenge
48:50
Speaker 1: for us, you know, getting Nick back out there, getting
48:53
Speaker 1: comfortable as an offense, getting on the same page with him. Uh,
48:57
Speaker 1: and coming off of a bye week this is this
48:59
Speaker 1: is big for us, but we're preparing and we feel
49:02
Speaker 1: prepared for it. I feel like a j that this
49:05
Speaker 1: team over the last few years mesched up pretty well
49:07
Speaker 1: against Andy. Just overall, why is that? Do you feel
49:10
Speaker 1: that way too? Uh? You know, even though you said
49:13
Speaker 1: it's the past, you know, even though it's a new year,
49:15
Speaker 1: the team is. You know, you just can't you can't
49:17
Speaker 1: go into any thinking all these guys don't have the
49:20
Speaker 1: players like that. You know, these guys play scream of
49:22
Speaker 1: the hard. You know, watching the film, I heard coach say.
49:25
Speaker 1: He's quick to say. He was like, oh, these guys,
49:27
Speaker 1: you know, these players are so so, but be careful
49:30
Speaker 1: because you watch film. You turn the film, it's like, wow,
49:33
Speaker 1: these guys, all eleven guys are to the ball and
49:37
Speaker 1: they're there in a hurry. So we gotta be on
49:38
Speaker 1: that P's and Ques and me ready to go that
49:40
Speaker 1: that that linebacker kind of leads away there, right, Derris
49:42
Speaker 1: Leonard is the second year player, young guy. Yeah, that's
49:46
Speaker 1: what that's one thing. Uh co said too. We gotta
49:48
Speaker 1: make sure we put a hand on that guy because
49:49
Speaker 1: if we don't, he's all over the field making place.
49:52
Speaker 1: Where is the line right? Now a j it. It
49:54
Speaker 1: started off during the preseason, a lot of you guys
49:58
Speaker 1: didn't have a chance to play together a lot um
50:02
Speaker 1: and early on there were some stops and starts, but
50:05
Speaker 1: it felt like against the Texans that the pass blocking
50:08
Speaker 1: was there. Just overall, where do you guys feel like
50:10
Speaker 1: you stand? You know, I just feel like, you know,
50:12
Speaker 1: as an offensive line wise, I feel like we just
50:15
Speaker 1: gotta make sure we do a better job at finishing.
50:16
Speaker 1: You know, uh, if you watch from you know we're
50:19
Speaker 1: own guys blocking guys, but the screening finish if we
50:22
Speaker 1: if we put an emphasis on that, there's no telling
50:25
Speaker 1: where the where the runner lanes can hit for Leonard,
50:27
Speaker 1: extra time in the pocket for for for Nick so.
50:31
Speaker 1: But just overall, I think if we do that, you
50:34
Speaker 1: know that I'll make us better offensively as a whole.
50:36
Speaker 1: Impressed story this year with the job that Leonard has done.
50:39
Speaker 1: I mean, last year he fought through injuries, et cetera.
50:43
Speaker 1: But he seems like a different guy coming back. When
50:46
Speaker 1: you watch film, do you see him running differently? Yes,
50:48
Speaker 1: you know, he's a very tough runner and he's one
50:51
Speaker 1: of those guys that as the game gets going when
50:53
Speaker 1: he gets the ball he just gets gets it's harder
50:56
Speaker 1: to bring him down, you know. And that's the kind
50:57
Speaker 1: of back we need and the kind of back we
50:59
Speaker 1: look for, and and and if we want to win games,
51:01
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to establish a run game. And he's
51:03
Speaker 1: the kind of bait that can take on all those carries.
51:05
Speaker 1: D D. Westbrook missed last week's game or two weeks
51:08
Speaker 1: ago now in London, um and everybody's back healthy now.
51:12
Speaker 1: It seems like everybody's at practice. And how important is
51:15
Speaker 1: it for this offense, Chris to have the full assortment
51:17
Speaker 1: of wide receivers available. It seems like you guys missed
51:21
Speaker 1: him a little bit last time out of of course,
51:24
Speaker 1: you know, we rely heavily on every single guy in
51:26
Speaker 1: our room in this offense in some capacity, and missing D. D.
51:30
Speaker 1: Westbrook that that creates a void. But having him back,
51:34
Speaker 1: having all the weapons back in this offense, especially with
51:36
Speaker 1: the guy who likes to go to the line of
51:38
Speaker 1: scrimmage and change things, who likes to go to the
51:40
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and create plays, having weapons across the
51:44
Speaker 1: board makes your offense very potent. It makes it very dangerous.
51:48
Speaker 1: Uh So we're we're very glad to have d D
51:50
Speaker 1: back out there, but overall, having guys healthy on this team,
51:54
Speaker 1: especially late into the second half of the year, Having
51:56
Speaker 1: a healthy team is so important as you go towards
52:00
Speaker 1: the games that really matter for who's gonna be around,
52:03
Speaker 1: you know, come January February. At this point, having those
52:06
Speaker 1: guys back team wise is huge. Can you feel that
52:10
Speaker 1: on the practice field in the locker room that everybody's
52:13
Speaker 1: sort of there again, that makes sense that everybody's healthy.
52:16
Speaker 1: Do you does practice feel lively or faster because of that?
52:22
Speaker 1: I think so. I think a little bit. Uh, not
52:24
Speaker 1: only because people are feeling good, but also seeing faces
52:29
Speaker 1: out there who might not have been out there, Seeing
52:32
Speaker 1: guys out there multiple days in a row when at
52:35
Speaker 1: some point, you know, they would take a day they
52:37
Speaker 1: would have practiced one day they have a day of rest,
52:40
Speaker 1: and seeing those guys out there consistently, seeing the communication
52:43
Speaker 1: going on between guys who might be older and who
52:46
Speaker 1: have to take care of their bodies and stuff at
52:48
Speaker 1: this point in the year, that creates energy. That creates energy.
52:51
Speaker 1: Seeing guys who have fought through stuff back in the
52:54
Speaker 1: mix and creating this team camaraderie and really helping us
53:00
Speaker 1: out everything towards getting a wine. We've asked about Folds
53:05
Speaker 1: in terms of the cadence, But you're a guy who's
53:07
Speaker 1: as close to him as anybody. You've known him a
53:09
Speaker 1: long time. Think everybody knows the story that you know.
53:13
Speaker 1: You kind of predicted the Super Bowl MVP year because
53:15
Speaker 1: you knew him. Um, him stepping into this, I'll call
53:20
Speaker 1: it a must win situation, but very important situation. What
53:24
Speaker 1: is it about him that functions so well when the
53:27
Speaker 1: pressure is on. I think he functions well under pressure
53:31
Speaker 1: because he doesn't feel the pressure. I think he focuses
53:35
Speaker 1: well under pressure because he has always approached the game
53:39
Speaker 1: of football the right way. And even after after the
53:43
Speaker 1: moment where he thought he was going to retire, he
53:45
Speaker 1: learned to approach it even better. If he learned to
53:48
Speaker 1: focus on the things that he can control. He learned
53:51
Speaker 1: to rely and lean on not only his relationship with God,
53:56
Speaker 1: but the brothers around him in his locker room, and
53:58
Speaker 1: really just come down to a point where he could
54:00
Speaker 1: be honest and going huddle and say, hey, guys, I
54:02
Speaker 1: don't know how things are gonna play out here, but
54:04
Speaker 1: I love each and every one of you, and I'm
54:06
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna give you everything that I got and
54:09
Speaker 1: look you in the eye and say that. And when
54:11
Speaker 1: someone can come to you with that honesty, someone who
54:13
Speaker 1: has played on those big stages and says, hey, I
54:16
Speaker 1: don't know everything, but I'm gonna give you everything that
54:19
Speaker 1: I've got and I love you no matter what happens.
54:22
Speaker 1: When when you have that sort of trust in people,
54:25
Speaker 1: it elevates the game of people around him. And so
54:29
Speaker 1: you know, I I don't want to say that he's
54:31
Speaker 1: gonna do this, that he's gonna do that, but I
54:33
Speaker 1: know that he's continuing to approach the day in the
54:36
Speaker 1: moment and stay right where he's at and love the
54:39
Speaker 1: guys around him, and it affects people. And Chris knew
54:41
Speaker 1: him already a j But I assume you felt that
54:43
Speaker 1: as soon as he got here, Like when the first
54:46
Speaker 1: time he came in and I'm gonn saying like this.
54:49
Speaker 1: When he stepped into the huddle and he started calling
54:51
Speaker 1: the play, I was like, man, this guy, this guy
54:55
Speaker 1: knows what he's talking about. He's on the stuff, and
54:56
Speaker 1: the way the way he comes into the huddle, like
54:58
Speaker 1: I can see him. He tells the receivers. He was like,
55:00
Speaker 1: you got this route, that route, that route, office line
55:03
Speaker 1: on this makes remember it's on this like he's just so,
55:06
Speaker 1: he's just so there. You know what, even when he
55:08
Speaker 1: was hurt, when he was talking about guys who uh
55:10
Speaker 1: was heard and now they're back. When when Nick was hurt,
55:13
Speaker 1: he was always around and he showed us, he made
55:15
Speaker 1: his presence known talking. You know, I was always in
55:17
Speaker 1: the locker room making sure I see him talking to
55:19
Speaker 1: guarding about Garden, about this and that. And now that
55:21
Speaker 1: he's back, and just I feel to me, I feel
55:25
Speaker 1: like with his presence he never left, even though he
55:27
Speaker 1: wasn't on the field. I feel like that that Nick
55:29
Speaker 1: never left. He's a quarterback even beyond the fields. That
55:34
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. This is the portion of the show
55:36
Speaker 1: where Chris, you can fire away your guests. You know, uh,
55:41
Speaker 1: typically I I would do that, but given the fact
55:44
Speaker 1: that my university lost and he's not making me aware
55:49
Speaker 1: of the jersey, will open the floor up to a
55:51
Speaker 1: j First. Is there any question this is your moment,
55:55
Speaker 1: any question that you have for me, As as painful
55:59
Speaker 1: as you want to make, you can do it right now.
56:01
Speaker 1: I just want to know you are you guys gonna
56:03
Speaker 1: finish in the in the playoffs. You know Barney did
56:05
Speaker 1: last year. You know, everybody's talking about Obama getting back
56:09
Speaker 1: into it if you guys lose the the SEC Championship.
56:12
Speaker 1: I just want to know, what are you thinking, man,
56:16
Speaker 1: I don't worry about the SEC game yet. You know,
56:18
Speaker 1: I have supported my boys the whole year. But I
56:22
Speaker 1: told you, I told him the week that we came
56:25
Speaker 1: and played him. I was like, you know what, I
56:27
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't know. George is as good as
56:29
Speaker 1: everybody's making them out to beat. You know right now.
56:31
Speaker 1: They have a lot of talent. They have, they have
56:34
Speaker 1: accolades this and that. There's a lot of hype surrounding
56:37
Speaker 1: the program. But the way that the guys have produced
56:41
Speaker 1: on the field just doesn't do it for me. It
56:43
Speaker 1: doesn't do it for me. When I watched this game
56:45
Speaker 1: this past weekend with Alabama and l s U, the
56:48
Speaker 1: level of play that they played too was so elevated.
56:51
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that out of Georgia this year. I
56:54
Speaker 1: honestly have not. I love them, love those guys, believe
56:56
Speaker 1: in them, but they have not elevated their game in
56:59
Speaker 1: every game. Some games they've played down to the level
57:02
Speaker 1: of their opponents. And it's come back to buy them.
57:04
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say. You know, South Carolina, you know
57:07
Speaker 1: they played down that. They played down that week, and
57:09
Speaker 1: South Carolina played a complete in total game. So in
57:13
Speaker 1: order for Georgia to stay in the contention this year,
57:15
Speaker 1: they gotta learn to elevate and they gotta do it fast.
57:18
Speaker 1: At this point, it might be too late. We'll see.
57:21
Speaker 1: Makes sense since the defense is good though, I mean Georgia.
57:24
Speaker 1: Georgia's defense is there. Defense is the defense has played well.
57:28
Speaker 1: But even still, if if your offense needs a defense
57:32
Speaker 1: to make up ground, I haven't seen the defense really
57:35
Speaker 1: step up to an elite level to really push that
57:38
Speaker 1: offense over the edge, push the team over the edge.
57:41
Speaker 1: That makes sense. South Carolina was going up and down.
57:46
Speaker 1: I try to give him some problems. Starts throwing shots
57:50
Speaker 1: at me. Yeah I can, I can, but you know
57:56
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do That's
57:58
Speaker 1: my guys. Guy. Uh a j good to see you man.
