• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Jack Warres? Drive Time, Ryan Sex Steps, John O Sage,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Ashley Sunday Jeff Warres Drive Time starts right now Wednesday
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Drive Time from t I A a bank field in Jacksonville.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Beautiful morning sun is starting to come up. What I
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: coughed again at the beginning of the show, Oh Joe
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: just shot me a look like like like I did
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: something wrong. It's it's it is. It is Wednesday, right,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: is final show of the week, right, right? Um? Yeah,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: it's a big Wednesday. Jack Wars get on the practice
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: field today and tomorrow. It's kind of a normal schedule
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: up to that point, and then tomorrow afternoon they'll go
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: head to the airport and fly to London. We've got
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a lot to talk about with respect of this game. UM.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I do think it's worth noting that the Jack has
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: done this Thursday thing, now what three years in a row?
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Three you no, baby, Yeah, it's worked out for him.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: They figured out how to land on Friday and combine
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the sleep with the hydration and you know all that stuff.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: The question is, do you think that's an advantage? Um?
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I guess it is. I was actually on South Palestonio
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: show last time you pick up that name? Uh uh,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: And he was asking me why the Jaguars are three
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and oh and you know the last three games over there,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and how much of a difference it makes, uh, knowing
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the schedule and my impression, I believe the Eagles are
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: doing pretty much the same schedule the Ragings did last
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: year too, right, So as I was, as I was
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: talking to Sal, when we pick up that name, is
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: that a big name anymore? I think? So, it's impressed.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I kind of am. I It doesn't make much sense
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: because the Ravens did the exact same thing last year.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: So you're saying, well, is it really the schedule? Is
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: it really how they approach, which I think is you know,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I feel fine by Sundays that point and how I feel,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: but I feel fine by concerned, whereas when we went
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: over in twelve and thirteen, Um, by the time Sunday
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: rolled around, you know, you you know, you're kind of
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: it's almost like there was an after effect. Is the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: right way, but I don't know why it works better
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: for the Jaguars who've done it five times than the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Ravens who only did it once. Um, except that you're
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: used to it and maybe you're not as distracted. Maybe
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: there's something too that if I was a fan, I
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: would discount that because it sounds kind of silly. But
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: they've been up by like nine points in the in
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the first half the last three years, so it's got
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: It's one of our big things. So hold on to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: that thought. Maybe you can come up with an answer.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: By the time, doubt, I'm not very good. Okay, we'll
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: start thinking. Now you have time. All right. Our show
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: today brought to you by Duval Motor Company, who invite
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you to see the Douvall Difference. Experience it for yourself
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: out on Atlantic Cassette and in Gainesville and Ashland. It's
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: good going, all right. Big thing one is the quarterbacks
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: of Brian and I talked about it a lot yesterday,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: but John, we have not heard your thoughts. Blake Bortle's name,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the starting quarterback, Cody Kessler comes in the game Sunday.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Does okay, does this light of fire under Blake to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: go and perform better than he has been? No? I don't.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not a big light the fire guy,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: especially with a quarterback. I mean, I don't think Blake
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: has been unmotivated. From my understanding is he hasn't lacked preparation.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I've never thought that he lacks desire. Uh yeah. In
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: sort of stepping away from it, I feel like it's
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: probably the right move. I feel that way about um.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I think it would have been different Brian and Ashlen
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: if he had thrown three bad passes, if he had
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: gotten picked, if it looked like he had no idea
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: deal where he's going with the ball. And I hear
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the jokes from fans saying he always looks like that,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: but I'm saying he didn't get benched because of a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: lack of preparation, because it looked like he was just
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: throwing poorly. It felt like Doug got to the point
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: of I've talked to these guys for three weeks about
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: not turning the ball over, and the kid has turned
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the ball over inside the thirty twice now. But they
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: were errors of effort and carelessness with fumbles. Had they
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: been interceptions, maybe you feel differently had you not had
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the kid come back last year from something like this
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: made me feel differently. But all of that I think
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: tipped the scales just enough for the move makes sense. Well,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: we talked about it on Monday about what we thought
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the right move was and why. So I'll just say
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know actually that this is a move for Blake,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that it does anything in particular for Blake. What it
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: does is gives them the best chance to win if
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: they have their running game. And we're gonna talk about
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: that obvious sleep, if Carlos hide, if Leonard, for Nette,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: who were told as going to practice um. At least
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Doug said that on Monday, if you have the running game,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: he gives you the best chance to win. He's proven
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: that in the system they have the return of the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: running game lifts you know, John was talking on Monday.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: You know, most elite quarterbacks they lift their team. That's
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: not what Blake is. Blake is lifted by the running game.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: So for me, the decision to go with the quarterback
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: is more for the team than Blake, because Doug wants
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to win. And you heard uh some of the defensive
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: players in particular, you heard Calais Campbell and Marcel Darius
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: talked about five and their confidence in him and getting
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: him on the field. So to me, this was for
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: them in the defense because it gives them the best
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: chance to win. On Sunday, I got a question kind
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: of big things like a small thing, okay, um? And
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: he saysn't going where you think it's going. You think
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna mention your birthday and I'm not. Um, and
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: your brother? Um, a trade for a quarterback? Would it
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: shock you? It obviously shocked me, which shocked me if
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: they did that. Would it make any sense though? Because
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: everybody's talking about it, everybody wants to know it, and
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I feel like we should. Okay, fine, um, so let's
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: let's go there. I'll go there. From a salary cap perspective,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: do you know how much salary cap room the Jaguars
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: have right now? About six million dollars um. If you
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: were to try to take on and Eli Manning, you
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have the cap space. You'd have to cut players,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: or even worse, restructure and push money forward into future
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: years for guys that maybe you're not planning on being
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: on your roster. You'd have to make too many cap
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: moves in order to make it work. That's number one.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: The Jaguars are tied against the cap. They took on
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: five million dollars in salary cap when they when they
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: brought in Carlos Hyde, and I get it, you can
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: do some of those crazy things. But you know, for
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: those of us who are around in two thousand one
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and two thousand two when the cap killed the Jaguars,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I don't want to see that, not in any way,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: shape or form. So it would disappoint me if they
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: traded for a quarterback at this point, unless it was
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: some blockbuster trade, you know, meant for the future, but
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: a short term fix. No Tyrod Taylor. No, here's here's
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the other thing. And I think maybe you're going to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: go there, but he hadn't been here. What can you do?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: You can say the locker room is going to have
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: more confidence in Tyrod Taylor then it's going to have
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: in Blake Bortles. I can't see it there. Theoretically, there
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: could be a faction that would have more confidence just immediately,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Hey we haven't seen this guy. Hey, you know, and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think that would be the case. In theory.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: You can see that temporary lift, But I'm with you.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I don't see where another quarterback at this point especially
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: would come in and be able to get acclimated quickly
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: enough to make the difference that people think it would
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: you know again birthday? But I just wanted to bring
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it up. Let's go back real quick. But do I
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: look fifty? Um? Thank you. Let's go back and and
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: talk what we talked yesterday about salary cap. Right, the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Jaguars are married to Blake Bortles through next season. And
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I immediately got a pushback on Twitter about this, Oh,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you can't make the decision based on that. Guess what
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: they already did, Okay, And they didn't just buy Blake Bortles.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And they're not just saying that Blake Portles is the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: quarterback now because he makes more money than Cody Kesler.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: It's a broader view than that. What it is is
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the system they bought into this run the ball first,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: set up the play action, play to the defense. And
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: when you look at the salary cab and they're all
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: kinds of ways to look at the salary cap, all right,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: But when you look at the cap and the money
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: that they have dedicated to the defensive line, no team
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: in football has more money on their defensive line than
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: this one. The closest team is Tampa or Philly, and
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: they're in the low fifties. The Jaguars are in the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: low sixties. This team is built to win a certain
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: way exactly, and it's all about that. So if you
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: really think that benching Blake Bortles is a smart move,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you're not looking at the not just today, but the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: short term future of tomorrow. Seven games of of this,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: with all of the injuries, it is so short sighted
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to think just bench him, pull him, move on the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: knee jerk stuff doesn't work. Now, I will say this.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: You said they're married team through next year. To me,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: that doesn't preclude if this goes off the rails, that
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't preclude quarterback first round next year and then transition
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: next season from John. You can blow it up if
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: you want. You can start cutting guys. But if you
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: cut him now, if you say he's not our quarterback.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: But I'm not saying no, no, what, but what I'm
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: just trying to set it up if you want. If
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: it doesn't work, if it goes completely off the rails,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and you finished five and eleven this year and you say, hey,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: look it's just not gonna working. Veterans an option next
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: year and that. But I don't think Rookie is blow
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: If you've got to blow it up, then you do
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: but understand that if you blow it up next year,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: then you are guaranteed to lose. I'm just gonna use
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: names here, Calais uh Malik. You've got to get rid
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: of those heavy salads defensive quarterback next year necessary to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: be absolutely tied into blowing up, right, But getting rid
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: of Blake would tie you into blowing up because his
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: sixteen point five million dead right, you would necessarily get
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: rid of him in that scenario, you could transition to
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the rookie that scenario. I'm not saying it's gonna happen.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying when you say they're married to him,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think that necessarily means you can't do a
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: rookie next offseason. No, I didn't. I didn't see that
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: as being as being mutually exclusive. I just seven games
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: with with the opportunity still to get this back right
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: right this season, It's way too early to just say done.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: You're probably well. I mean, look, people were pretty happy
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: after the Patriots right when he threw for four yards.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: It had a good game against the Jets when they
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: were dicing it up the middle. That was before they
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: had injuries at left tackle and tight end. I mean,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: do you think that has anything to do with it. Right,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: There's a lot to do with it. So everybody just
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: needs to chill out on this now. And if it
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: has to get blown up next year, well then it does.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: But it is massive in terms of how you have
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to structure your salary cap. And you don't necessarily want
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to just need jerk blow it up because the ramifications
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: are significant and people would go, well that's the front office. Yeah,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: But when they're tendant six and playing for the a
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: f C Championship, you're not saying, well this system sucks,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: You're okay with it and they didn't have those injuries
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: last year. I could just I could keep ranting on
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: this forever. Your salary cap is the some of your
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: decisions with your roster. It says who you are and
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: what you can do you cannot. And again maybe this
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: goes back to two thousand two and and just the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: years of losing because the cap decimated the talent. Don't
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: do it, don't need jerk blow it up, right, and
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you go to the salary cap. But also if you
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: have up bringing a gun slinging quarterback, you don't have
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the resources to make that successful. We talked about stick
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: with the formula, the power running team, dominant defense. Do
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you bring a quarterback that slings it down the field?
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: How is that going to help this team right now?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: But do you have the receivers to get down the field?
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Do you have the blocking up front to hold up
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: that would be success long enough that he can turn
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: down the field. And by the way, you know that
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: all of those pieces have to come in place, and
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you don't have all of them right now. Now you
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: can say, well d D. Westbrook is fast, donte Moncreep
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: is fast, very fast. But you're playing with Josh Walker
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: left tackle right now, time to sling it down and
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: he's a guard playing tackle. You don't want to do
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: that to a quarterback, all right, bring it up to
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: interrupt John Alright, the Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz and the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles and defending Super Bowl champs. This is a
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: good game, and we talked about it, or we in
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the season we thought this could be a preview of
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. But now things have definitely changed and
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: it is not that game no longer. This is a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: game where two teams are trying to save their season.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I like watching this guy play. He's not back to
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: what he was and probably won't be this year in
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: terms of his overall mobiley Um, I just I think
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: this is one of the here's obviously one of the
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: stars of the game for years to come. And I
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: think he's just a tremendous talent. And boy the Dragon
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: wars he looks like a Ben Roethlisberger type guy, and
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: that in terms of you hit him, he gets more accurate. Yeah,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: he's strong, smart, tough, all those things, and uh, it's
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: remarkable the ten touchdowns, one interception. There's a little criticism
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: of this week in Philly for the fourth quarter last week.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: That happens in Philly when you lose a game of seventeen.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: This kid is the real deal. And it's a dangerous
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: matchup for the Jaguars defense because this team likes to
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: go RPO, they like to do a lot of misdirection
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: play action in the line of scrimmage, and the day
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: was haven't handled that particularly well. This is a team
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: that will try to fool them. Uh, they'll try to
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: do the same thing the Chiefs did to him. So
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: it's a challenge. They haven't fared that well against that.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Peterson's from the Andy Reid trick. That's what it is.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: And we saw what he get in the Super Bowl
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and understand that this is a guy. Remember he had
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: that critique of of Doug Morone and his decision making
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: at the end of the a f C title. I
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: thought that'd be a big story this way. Well, it's
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: not a big story in terms of the media, but
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: it is kind of a story in terms of game
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: planning to see how he might attack it. Because the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: thought right now is with this team, you know, reeling
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: from three consecutive losses and with some injuries, that maybe
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: they're going to play more conservative, you know, with the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: running game and just try to keep everything in front
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: of them. Apparently Doug Peterson doesn't like that, and this
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: team plays conservative and maybe you can't. This week, maybe
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: he pushes it. If they had been six and one,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: ifs has been six one and five and two, I
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: think the little book comment would have been a huge
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: story last week. I think both teams have so much
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: more that they're worried about that it'll be sideline. Did
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: it come up on that famous person show that you
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: mentioned last time, No, he didn't ask. He didn't ask
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: nels asked. That was a major storyline, Are you gonna
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: drop names to not salpal not? All? Moving right along,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Let's go back to that London thing, all right, big
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: thing three is London. We heard Calais Campbell say after
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the game on Sunday that this team needs some London
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: magic desperately. Now is the time that they need to win?
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Do we think I got asked this question, is this
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the perfect time in the season for this team to
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: make the trip to London? You know, I had somebody, Um,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I heard somebody talking yesterday and I thought they made
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: a really good point that the late September is actually
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the better time to make the trip to London because
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: you've had four preseason games and four regular season games
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: plus training camp. Uh, then you come back and now
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: they didn't get to buy last year, but they've had
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: to buy at early. Like that that maybe, in terms
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: of the totality of the schedule from July to December,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: that making the trip in September, which is closer to
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the middle of the calendar makes more sense. Personally, I
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: love it the later it gets us because I like
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: having to buy later in the season because then once
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: you get off the buy, you get three or four
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: weeks left and then yeah, that'd be it. So yeah,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: and I like later in the season because I like
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: putting off. You know that for the team, um, on
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: of those people, the bye when it benefits you the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: most is usually luck. It would have been terrific for
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: this team if they have had to buy a couple
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago, I think, um, because they would have
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: had a chance to sort of breathe and get healthy
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: a little bit. As it stands, it looks like they'll
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: have the if. If if they win this week, you'll
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: feel like the buy is coming at the perfect time
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: because you'll feel like they're four and four. Okay, now
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: they can breathe a little bit. If they lose this week,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: nothing's gonna look good. So probably the you know, to me,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I like this. I think this is the latest that
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: they'll have the lending game in the season for a while.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: So it's fine, all right, that'll do it. I'll do it.

  Speaker 1: splash and it's gonna make you brown. Your only chip speak.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: All of my cato wasn't down. And now we'll cry
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: for the eagles. You can't get your break cry for
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: don't get your cheese steak. Another said Joe from Philadelphia Folks,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: So it took a little bit for him to heard
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: him a little bit. That was the Steve Miller band Ashland.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: They were mid seventies. Man. That was Fly like an
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Eagle from What's your Favorite Steve Miller song? Dance Dance
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: dand the same album too. I believe, Yeah, it's the
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: It's It's I can go quickly on that. I mean
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I have many Steve Miller songs. I white, but mine's
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: take the money and run. My grandma she's she keeps
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: on dancing and she's might be Grandpa, but it's it's
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: not one of the two. But it's a classic. It
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: is a classic. You're gonna look those up on your
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Apple music, right John. Apple music is this thing on
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: that phone that you've got where it's got all kinds
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: of songs, and I mean songs that you might not
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: even remember that you knew way back when them and
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: listen to them. You see how we see what I
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: did there? We turned it around, Ashlyn. You're going to
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: have to turn it around on them many times A right,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: here comes another classes help each other out. Can I
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: get that on my Apple Music account? Right? I think
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: you might be able to have Joe turn that into
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: what's called an m P three and send it to you,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: and Ashlyn then can show you how to turn that
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: into your ring tone so that every time someone calls you.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I can't turn anything into ring time you hear A.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: To be honest, about four or five years, I have
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: wanted to learn how to do that. It's just not
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: something I've gotten around too well. Right here, Ashly can
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: help give me a call, right, that's what I'm here for. Alright,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: all right, take this away, Ashlyn, please go to day
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: from a video? Big Oh? Does Eric Flowers start soon
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: at left tackle? Or is it Josh Walker's job to lose? Well,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: the Gallows humor would say yes here that it is
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: his job to lose, meaning he's gonna start soon a
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: left tackle and it's Josh Walker's job to lose, and
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: that perhaps Josh Walkers struggled enough that it's gonna be
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Eric Flowers. But you know, and uh, I think I
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: do think he'll start soon. I don't know exactly when
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: it will be. I know they want guys who come
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: in to have to earn their position. You just want
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: a hand. Eric Flowers, a starting job is because everything
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: else is going bad. But I have to think that
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: at some point they're going to turn to that and
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: see what they have. Look, I mean, you're talking about
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: a guy who was the ninth overall pick in the draft,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: and I get there are busts out there, but I
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: had somebody that knows football tell me that the guy's
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: skill set is there that when you watch him, you
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: see a guy, a big guy who can move, a
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: guy with the long arms and the long tour so
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: guy who is built to play tackle. Probably not right tackle,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: which is where they had him this year in um
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: New York after resigning Nate Solder, but a left tackle.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: The other guy, guy who used to playing New York
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: told me that sometimes New York City eat you up
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: and guys aren't meant to handle that, and maybe his
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: experience in New York ate him up. My thing is,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I'd like to see him out there because I know
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: what Josh Walker is a tough guy, a guy who
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: will battle you, but a guard playing left tackle. Also,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: a guy you like to have is one of your
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: eight might not necessarily be a guy that you want starting.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: That's not necessarily you know, it's not a horrible thing
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: to have a guy like that, But I don't know
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: if you want him out of left tackle. I'm not
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: usually wanted to say, well, throw a guy in and
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: see what happens. But at this point, I do think
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Josh has struggled enough in key spots where it makes
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: sense very quickly to get Flowers in right, And I
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: would think that if not this week, then through the
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: bye week you maybe have him ready, you know, understand
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: what what his role is there or what the scheme.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Give him a little more time so we'll see. Obviously,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: though he's the guy that you think you should be
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: able to put in there and have him play. So
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: all right, let's go to Stephen from Jacksonville. Most NFL
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: teams don't typically include many design quarterback runs do. It's
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: to a variety of concerns, including injuries and the importance
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: of passing. Tell me, typed it wants Blake to run
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: more um and it makes sense because he does it well. Uh,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: tuck the ball in though obviously tucked the ball in.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: But I also think I don't think you necessarily want
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: to get into a thing where you're running him fifteen
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: times a game and you're in constant RPO with him.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: But sure, it makes sense he was running last week.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: You know that was where there was some effectiveness. I
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: don't mind the amount of running he did last week.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: I think that's probably the right amount of running. Um
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: tuck the ball in and I just believe last week
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: it felt a little desperate by the way he was running,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: and that makes sense because the day felt desperate. But
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: like everything else he does, it's made better with the
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: running game. Having a power back in Carlos Hide and
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: potentially Leonard for Net will make his runs more effective.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: And I want to say this too. You know a
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: guy who benefits from having at least Carlos Hide out
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: there is t J Yeldon because you were asking him
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: to carry the load and be a feature back and
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: we all know that's not his rule now and I
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: don't know what the ankles like, but benefit tremendously now
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: you put him back into that changeup back role where
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: he is incredibly effective. Everything gets better if you have
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the running game, and I did feel like the last
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks we saw a little bit of diminishing
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: returns with Blake's running um. Perhaps not in the stat sheet,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: but it looked like Tams are getting more of an idea. Okay,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: this guy is dangerous with this. This is something that
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: if we take away it really hurts them, which makes
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: sense because he's not a running quarterback. He has a
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: huge yours per carry average because he has run historically
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: in very good situations to run. So yeah, I think
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: we've seen the last couple of weeks. Why it's really
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: not something you can build around and say, Okay, we're
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: going to be a great offense because Blake can run.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: His runs need to be a supplement to something else
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: good going on. All Right, that's one Joel from Jacksonville.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: What records should we be concerned with? I remember a
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Steelers team being five and seven and managed to win
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: out including the Super Bowl. So until we are past
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: that point, I am satisfied that we have a chance,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: but the team as a whole needs to play better. Yeah,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I'm concerned with three and four, but you know out
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: the further you get down, the more of a miracle
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: you need. This was four and seven in so it
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: can be done, but to me, three and five feels
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: out of it. Brian I it depends on where the
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Texans are right because let's be honest, this division is
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: not performing at a high level, which I think a
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: lot of us thought they might be able to. We
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: might have a couple of of you know, five and
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: two teams perhaps at this point instead of forward four
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: leading the way, UM, three and six. You know, at
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: that point where you are double as many losses as wins,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: then maybe, um, but you get back to four and four.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: No matter what the Texans do, You're you're right in
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: the middle of at all. So the play in a
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: division that will keep them in it if they can
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: make a couple of things happen and stay in it.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I guess I'll say the same thing I said last
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: week when people asked me last week, being it must win.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: And that's why I'm still kind of queasy and down.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: You can kind of sense that, can't you? Actually? Very down,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: very negative? Last week I wanted to see more importantly
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: than when play well and they didn't. So again I
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: would say with Philly, if if you play well and
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Carlos Hyde gives you a lift and it's and you
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: feel like, WHOA, we saw something, then I think three
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: and five Wooden look is bad if if if you're
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: down twenty nothing, how you play? Speaking of the record,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: can I throw something in here that the Joel had
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: and there it is? Okay, it's your day. Yes, some
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: h I don't feel that way. Uh. The part of
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: the record that gets me is the O and two
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: in the division because both of those losses came at home. Right,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Winning the division is your sure shot to the playoffs,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: especially when you look at the rest of the a
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: f C. Obviously you've got the four division leaders, but
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: you've got Kansas City that's gonna win that division, and
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: then the Chargers, who looked like they've got one of
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: the wild card spots left. So you're going to be
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: fighting the Steelers and the Ravens and who else. Who know?
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: The Dolphins if they if they find a way to recover,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: who knows who else? Getting into the playoffs means winning
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the division and two in the division with both losses
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: at home. That's troubling to me. Now, the only positive
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: of that is you still got four division games left,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: and you know there's not one that you go, well,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: you can't win out precisely, and you hesitate to say
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: that because everybody's gonna come back on you and say, well,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: they haven't been the Titans. What makes you think they're
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: gonna be the Titans? Well, they lost by three and
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: if you haven't watched the Titans lately, they don't look
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: like world beaters, right And I don't think anybody thinks
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: that a functioning Jaguars offense just getting a few points
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: means that you couldn't go to Houston and win because
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: they're not intimidating. But right now, the way the Jaguars
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: are playing, everybody looks like a brutal opponent. One step
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: at a time, Joel, One step at a time. When
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: we return, Cattles come out, Ashland asks is next. Plus,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: we'll roll through power rankings and have a familiar guests

• 34:32
  Speaker 1: You hear that one guy in South Carolina apparently one
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: pulled the numbers one one point six billion dollars. I
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: hate him, know him. You must be a terrible person.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine waking up to that this morning? Be good?
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think John would be here. Oh here's news
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: for you. Joe wouldn't be here. I wouldn't be here
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: here either. My wife actually asked me what you you
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: know she talks about like the conversation, what if you want?
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: And she said, well, I'm going to give my two weeks.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I said two weeks. You wouldn't get two minutes. They
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: would would just be assumed, well, oh he's not coming
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: back today, right, And and she said, well how would
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: they know what happened? And I said, hey, I wouldn't
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: care me. They would assume that I want because I'm
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: not there, and they would say, boy, isn't that out
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: of character? They would say, no, no, no, that's very telling.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Actually I don't Yeah, I don't no offense, Joe. I
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: don't think i'd call you. I just would I just
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: take the money and run. I wouldn't even remember who
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: you are. To quote the Eagles, I'd be already gone. Yeah,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: already gone for sure. That's right. Good luck to y'all.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't even knew you. All right, we're ready for
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Ashla going across the pond. You guys have been there
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: a few times. What's your favorite part about London? Doesn't
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: even have to be football related? John uh An, experienced traveler,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: John Oser and Brian Sexton. I've been told the food
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: isn't the greatest, So I'm guessing it's not going to
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: be a restaurant. You haven't and mine is absolutely a restaurant.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: How could I have guessed? You have to know if
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: you hang out with cheap people that only spend their
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: per diem, then there's no chance that you're going to
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: eat anywhere good, Mr John Oser. Yes, Chick fil a
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Chick fil in London parentheses raise his hand. If you,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: if you're if you, if you come with me. In fact,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: maybe on Saturday at some point we'll meet, because this
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: place is open all day and I will show you
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: a phenomenal place in London, car to be squared by
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: the way. It's kind of like diagon Alley in Um
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: in the Harry Potter series. It's really a cool place.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: There is a tapas restaurant. Tappas John is a Spanish
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: style of delivery of meat, meats, Jesus meats and cheeses
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: with incredible red wine. They take them, they take what
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: do you call those those peta right, It's like the
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: pea bread and they grill it and serve it with
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: warm olive oil. It's phenomenal. Doesn't it sound good Tojisa?
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: I hate that you like that restaurant. Um. I mean,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: my heavorite part of London is uh the Clash and
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Elvis Costello from it. And when I say that I
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: enjoy London, I enjoy walking around and the fact that
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: there is so much history and it's uh, it's such
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: a unique city. It's gonna sound very obvious that when
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: you walk around you realize that it's been there forever
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: and and there's nothing in the States obviously where you
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: know such a much younger country. Um, that feels where
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: you get an idea of the enormity and the history
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: of it. I love the clash those guys, you know,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: and like the idea of London probably rather than a
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: specific favorite thing. And I would tell you, since it's
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: it's your first trip to London, I would tell you
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: that getting on the tube and getting into central London
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: and going even if you don't go in, but to
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: stand in front of Westminster Abbey, to stand in front
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: of the Parliament Building, to see those things that you've
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: seen on television or in movies, but to understand the
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: history behind them. Um, there's some great museums. Churchill's War Room,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: which is where he ran the British effort against the
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Nazis in World War two. Uh Tremen turned into sabaras.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: So it's you can get both in one. So it's
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: a brass American pizza with incredible world history that sounds
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: like a wind combination, a fantastic strong bowlie that is
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: a common here and the war. Do you get that
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: at the airport? Did you get on a plane because
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: you know there is a Samarrow it. Yeah, that three
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: snies going I go there and get this far and
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: then go home. I don't necessarily have to be traveling
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: all right. Next question, who is the most popular Jaguar
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: in London? And I've been told that Tony Boselli. Everyone
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: knows him. Stop with that, please, I'm just saying I've
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: been told these things. Scobi heard he's a big London guy,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: everyone knows him. I've also heard J. P. Shadick is
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Mr London. UM, I can't either confirm nor deny that one.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Also John Oser in the Bobby hat, I know there's
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: fans in London of you as well. I'll go the
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: obvious shatter because nobody likes London like Shatrick but also
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: very popular. UM. Player wise, probably Sell. I'm not sure
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: you know it's I'm not sure, yea. The current players
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: don't really get a chance to get out the way
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: the past players do, so there isn't one right now.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Alan Hearns was Mr London? What did he score? You
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: have five touchdowns in London? Mercedes had three last year. UM.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: It is to be determined on Sunday who the most
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: popular Jaguar in London is as part of their victory
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: over the Eagles. Who fills in the shoes right? Who
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: is the next Mr London? It is to be determined
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: because the two guys who were the leading candidates are
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: now gone unknown. For my modest David, I'm really Mr.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: So it says Elvis Costello. You also told me you
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: were going to wear the Bobby hat on the show today,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: and I see Bobby. I did forget that, Bobby, but
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: it's too bad. Okay, fair last question, and I've asked
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: me us the past few weeks. Who has a big
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: game this week? Who needs a big game this week?
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Who steps up this week to get a win? Bryant quick? Mediate,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: let's see it? Um two point? Oh? Jalen Ramsey Today,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: by the way, is his birthday? Also? Yes? Yes, he's
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: much younger than me. Um yeah, much younger than me.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Uh and much more athletic too. Um So I will
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: go with Jalen. I think that against Carson Wentz and
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: the Eagles, here's a chance for him to play a
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: big game against a big team on a big stage. Um.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: You know, he stood in the locker room and kind
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: of had that look in his eye last week. I
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: don't think he was his best on the field or
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: off despite what um DeAndre Hopkins numbers were. So I'm
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: gonna say Jalen Ramsey has a huge game on Sunday,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: you know, makes a game changing play and is the
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: new Mr Jaguar in London. I can see it befitting.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say t J yeldon um and I don't
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: think he'll do it alone. Uh, if the offense is
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: gonna get going, and if I was gonna win the
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Test going and Carlos Hide will be a huge factor. Uh,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: t J has had to me a remarkable year. If
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: they had their normal stable of running backs, I think
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: he would be a part of something special. Um So
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: with with Hide there to sort of carry the bruiser load,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: I think it's entirely foreseeable that that t J have
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns and maybe be the spark that
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: they need because goodness, Goodness knows they need one. Yes,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: definitely is that it's for you? You don't like about
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: this one? There's there's no winners or losers. They're just
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: both winners as opposed to Marcus Pollard comes in here
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: and and I get screwed because her opinion matters more
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: than Yeah, as it should. Right, Okay, time for power time. Yes,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: although it's my day, as you said earlier, it's your win. Uh.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: John Ozier is up first with his take on the
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: power rankings. Here they are. You can see them for yourself, folks.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: At the first five, I think or are pretty self
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: explained story. Uh. The Jaguars at one maybe too high
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: right now? Yeah, yeah, I mean, and I haven't twenty
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: one because there's a lot of teams below them. You
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: know that I have a hard time seeing them beating
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: or I mean, they have a hard time seeing them
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: being very good. But right now, the Jaguars, either way
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: they're playing, I deserve to be in that bottom ten. Ash.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: My power rankings are similar, except the Jaguars will be
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: at twenty and I agree John with especially with the
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: loss on Sunday, they'll be going much lower. It's it's
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: quite the drop of the past few weeks, and it's
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: gone lower and lower and lower. Okay, and uh, I
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: see the Rams at the top as we go to mine. Um,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: no one's really challenged them yet. I put the Chiefs
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: back in front of the Patriots this week because of
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: such an impressive win over the Bengals. The Chargers they
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: got lucky with the two point conversion thing. They might
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: not be sitting there if they hadn't had Mike Vrabel
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: will go for two and and not have it work out.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: But there's still an excellent team playing very well right now. Um.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: I have the Jaguars at twenty primarily because I looked
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: at the teams below them and thought they weren't as great,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: they weren't as talented. Even if the Jaguars aren't playing
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: as well, I couldn't move them up if they win
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: this week. I couldn't move them any higher than the
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: middle of the pack at four and four anyway, So
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: there within shouting range of where I think they belong.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: And that Chie's Patriots, and we're all the Chiefs higher
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: than the Patriots. I have all along. Patriots beat him,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: but they beat him in Foxboro. Um, so it feels
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: like it'll be Rams, Chiefs Patriots, and I kind of
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: think the Saints might have something for the Rams that
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: they play in the playoffs. Well, that Chargers team is
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: the one that I am watching the closest of those,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: because as I mentioned earlier, I think the Chiefs are
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: better and they win the a f C West. But
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: those Chargers with the way they're playing defense right now
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: and they're playing without Joey Bows, so they can get
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: both to back healthy that pass thresh the factory in
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. And so what you don't want to be
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: is a team that has to travel from Florida to
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: La to play in a wild card game. That is
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: not a good formula. That is why it's important to
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: get the winning started soon. All right, we'll take a
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: break and bring a familiar name and voice and maybe
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: face back. I'm holding John up. He wants to keep walking.

  Speaker 1: let's welcome in. Our friend. Mike Kay used to cover
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars, moved up to Philadelphia a few weeks
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: ago and is now the Eagles beat writer. Mike, how
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: are you home? Well? How are you? We are good?
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: Would you like to be home? Phillies? Your home. People
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: didn't realize if you you you went home, which is
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: always a plus. Yeah, you know who such you can't
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: go back. Maybe one day I'll be back in Jacksonville.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: Who knows when it's snowing? Yeah, dirty cold up here,
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: so it'll it'll feel like I'm in New Jersey when
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: we're in London, so that'll be interesting. Tell us about
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. They put Derek Barnet
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: on I R yesterday with the shoulder. Is that a
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: blow or has he not been himself much this year?
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: It's a blow. He suffered a shoulder injury against the
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Titans uh in Week four, and he was their most
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: consistent pass rusher. He ended up missing Week five, but
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: came back for the last two games. Didn't look like himself,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: wasn't getting regular pressure. They've been working a three man
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: rotation of Brandon Graham, Chris Long and Michael Bennett, who
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: has been a surprise. Michael Bennett has three stacks. He
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: leaves all their defensive ends in sacks. He's been getting
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: regular pressure, but it's only really been early in the games.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: He's kind of like a first quarter m v P
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: as we call him. He'll he'll go out there, he'll
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: look great for about two series and then you'll forget
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: he's even in the game. Chris Long getting up there
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: in age he can force a lot of regular pressure,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: he just can't close. And then Brandon Graham, who's known
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: more as a run stopper anyway, isn't getting a lot
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: of pressure. He had some offseason surgeries as well. They
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: are going to look at Josh Sweat, the rookie from
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: FS fu Um. I believe we're all at his pro
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: day actually together. H He is a guy who's kind
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: of an enigma, but I think Fit's the wide nine
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: very very well. So really what you're saying is is
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: that front is still set dictated by Fletcher Cox and
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: what he can do in the middle of the line. Yeah. Absolutely,
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: he is really building up his case for the Defensive
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Player of the Year award. He started off really hot
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: from a stat standpoint, but he's a guy that just
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: stops runners in their tracks. He's been getting regular pressure
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: up in the middle. He's playing close to the snaps,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: which is kind of unheard of for Jim Schwartz rotation.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: So he's been kind of the straw that stars the
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: drink for that defensive line. Mike, we talked about it
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: earlier in the show. Carson wants to impressed. We've been
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: with him the past few weeks. What have you seen
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: at a his performance, Well, he it definitely has improved accuracy.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: He grew he quit his passes against the Panthers this
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: past weekend. He's throwing for over which is a massive
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: height in completion percentage over his over the norm. Last
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: year when he was having his MVP season, he just
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: threw completed over sixty of his passes. So he he
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: looks like he's seeing the field a little bit better.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: He's making the right prose for the most part. If
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: you take away that last drive against Carolina, Um you
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: know the difference here right now is it seems like
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: he's more cognizant of taking hits due to the A
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: c L and L c L surgeries. It does seem
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: like he is a little bit more cognizant of his
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: turnover issues, and that's creating time in the pocket for
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: pass rushers to get to him. He's taken a lot
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: of hits even when he's tried to avoid them, and
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: I think that that's going to be an area where
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars are gonna be able to take advantage. Um.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: He has homed in on zach Ertz and Alshon Jeffrey,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: two guys that are having acid seasons. If you take
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: those guys out of the fold, he has really little
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: to work with. Nelson Aghiler is gonna have to have
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: a big game across the middle against the Jaguars for
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: them to move the ball consistently. Mike john Os, youre here.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: How are you doing? I'm well man, Do you hear
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: your voice? Good? Um? What do they need to do?
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: There's obviously a team that's capable of a deep run.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: What do they need to do to get this thing
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: turned around and make it happen? Well, I think they
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: need to take it. They need to take a step
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: back and realize what they did in the red zone
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: last year needs to be replicated this year. They were
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: one of the best red zone and fourth down teams.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: In the league last year. They're still doing really well
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: on fourth down. The issue is they are struggling in
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: the red zone. They're not scoring points. They've only scored
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: over twenty three points once this season, and the challenges
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: are just gonna get tougher with the Jaguars in London.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Carson wants to move the ball within the twenties, but
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: once they get into that red zone, they need to
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: take advantage of their talent because really they have two
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: big targets in Zack Arts and Alshon Jeffrey who can
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: work in the middle of the field and do all
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: sorts of things move around. They're just not taking the
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: advantage of it when they're in the red zone. All right,
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: Mike K Beet, writer for the Philadelphia Eagles. Now, thanks
• 52:16
