  Speaker 1: Jack Warris, did you Jack Wuarris time sex dext John
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: actually sell Jack wars joy a time starts right now. No. Um,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I've never been part of any competition in practice, you know,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the week of a game, so it's definitely unique. Um.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: But you know, we just have to do our job,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: and that's to go out there and play to the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: best of our ability and you know, leave those decisions
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: to the decision makers. So it's a unique situation. Hasn't
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: been a unique year, so you know, kind of kind
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: of a lot of a lot to come up this
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: year that I don't think any of us kind of
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: saw coming. Yesterday, head coach Doug Marrone did not name
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: a starting quarterback. He said he's gonna leave it up
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to Mike Glennon and Gardner Mins who to win the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: job this week at practice and gonna all the way
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: up to Saturday's practice to make a decision on who's
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: going to start on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Not
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: a position you want to be in, and John, I
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: have a feeling that's why Trevor Lawrence has dominated the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: conversation this week, is this is not a situation you
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: want to be in. Week sixteen of the season around Christmas,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and you don't know who your quarterback is. Yeah, I
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: don't even know what to say at this point. I'm
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: not sure Doug does either. When you don't have a
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: quarterback week sixteen, they didn't have one week, one week,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: two week, three, weeks four. Now that this has happened,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I fully expect Glennon to start. Uh. You know, I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: don't know what. I forget who said maybeen Jay Gruden
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: yesterday sort of gave it away a little bit. He said, realistically,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: nobody's going to win the job with their first rep
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: in team period one. They're gonna go back and look,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: they're gonna look at at the games that have been
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: played and try to figure out who gives them the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: best chance. Uh. I don't think they were as a
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: group thrilled on field with how Gardner played last week,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: especially in the first half. I would expect Glennan. But
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: you know, whichever, right, Brian, If it was Gardner, it
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be in this conversation, So it seems like they'll
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: go with Mike Glennon. But I know you're in the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: same boat. Doesn't matter the next two No, I'm not
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I'm in a different No, I'm in a different boat, Mary,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Christmas to both of you, Um, you know, from my workshop,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to you and to yours and to everyone who's watching,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: since we won't be on tomorrow, UM that I would
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: be depressed. I would be depressed about the Jaguars right
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: now if they weren't in a position to change it
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: all in April. I'm not even gonna pay attention to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: who the quarterback is on Sunday. I don't care. Ashley,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: can you play? Can you drop back from center? I
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: mean it doesn't Yeah, I can. This branchise is in
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the unique position of suffering through a miserable season, but
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: with the light, to use a Christmas analogy, the star
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: leading to the draft right to show us the way.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: There is an answer to the misery. There is He's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: in the football world, coming for Jaguars fans, right, and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: we just have to wait. We just have to wait.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: So no, John said he has no answers. I have
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: no answers, for goodness sakes. The only answer I've had
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: is since the day that they let for Net go.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And I said, well, this is probably means they're tanking
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: for Trevor Um. And of course you know, no one
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: is going to admit that that was ever the thought. Um,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: But they're in a position right now. So peace on earth,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: goodwill to men in the Jaguars world. Get that quarterback
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and we won't even remember that. We want to remember
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: this game. Yes, it would be a lovely Christmas gift
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: under the tree. And Merry Christmas. Even merry Christmas from
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: our Drivetime family to you. Thanks for sticking with us
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: all season long. As we get into a game preview
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: presented by simply I O a number one run the ball.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: It's been number one for the past I don't know
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: seven weeks. Neither quarterback, whether it's Mike Len or gardnerments
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: who can succeed if he doesn't have a running game
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: to slow down Khalil Mack and company. The big question
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: is for the Jaguars running back, is he playing question Mark,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna rest for today. You know, we'll
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: come back tomorrow and do some stuff with him. Um,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: And that's just he wants to practice. I'm that's a
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: coach's decisions, you know what I'm saying that we're we're
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: just keeping them back, um, because today's just walked through,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: you know, a lot of walk throughs, so, um, you
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: know he wants to play, so you know we'll get
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: him out there on Thursday. So how he runs around,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: he's not limping, not doing anything like that. Um, I
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: feel I feel good talking to him that he's gonna play.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: If it is up to James Robinson, he will be
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: on the field Sunday playing against the Chicago Bears. Number
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: two is make Mitchell true. Whisky can be good and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: he can be bad. Lately, he's been good. Pressure makes
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: him bad. Defensive line. If you're listening, this is a
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: way that you can get ahead on the Chicago Bears.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Is pressured this guy. We've had comparisons all week from
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Mitchell Drabinsky to Blake Bortles. So he's been heating up lately.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: But if you pressure him, you can force him into
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: some mistakes. Number three special teams, something we haven't been
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: talking about lately, but obviously an important part to every game.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Neither neither the offense or the defense has been able
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to carry this team. We know that special teams gives
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: them a chance against the Packers, we saw it. It
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: could be the difference on Sunday. You go back up
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to big thing one, James Robinson and Brian You heard
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: coach Maron saying that if it's up to him, he
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: will play. In credit to him because it could be
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: very easy right now to to sit down and nurse
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that injury. And credit to him if he's injured. But
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: it sounds like no matter what, he wants to play. Well,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: there's a differences, as most people know, between hurt and injured.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: If if you're hurting, you know, generally football players want
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to try to play through that. I mean, Payne is
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: just part of playing pro football, especially in December, especially
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: when you've lost thirteen in a row. But if you're injured,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you might This is where not having a general manager
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: looking out for the long term otherwise I'm not trying
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: to see the way they Doug isn't, but you know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: looking after the long term and saying, you know, this
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: guy's got a guy. You know, he showed us this
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: year that we've got something here. Let's you know, if
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the ankle is even a real issue, let's not play
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: this guy. Um, we'll see. If he's just hurt, I
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: would imagine he plays. If there's any injury there, I
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: would imagine he doesn't. Yes, John, you see both sides
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that end. I looked back the other day, I was
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: looking at the roster for some reason. I looked at
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the injured serve list, and there's guys that we haven't
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: seen in so long that honestly I kind of have
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: forgotten about because we haven't talked about them in so long.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Someone like a C. J. Henderson or Josh Allen we
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: haven't seen in weeks. It's crazy to look at this list.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: But those are guys, like Brian said when you mentioned
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a general manager. Obviously they're safe. Obviously they're gonna stay here.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: So you wonder if James Robinson is it worth the risk? Almost? Yeah,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I mean it, Alvisos be up to him because everything
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: that makes him this guy that you'll love. Uh. If
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: you love football, you love James Robinson because he plays hard,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: he does things the right way, wants to be out
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: there the game. Clearly I haven't had a chance to
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: get to know him, but you can sort of tell
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: by what people say. The game means everything to him.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: So he's gonna want to be out there. Uh, if
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: he's I trust the trainers on this. I know a
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: lot of the trainers. They're gonna give Doug the best advice.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: If he's not hurt, he'll play. I think, Doug, you've
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: kind of seen the last couple of weeks. They've lessened
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: his workload a little bit. He's been beat up. Uh,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Doug's gonna have I mean, he's not going to run
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the kid into the ground if he thinks he's hurt.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: So I would expect a fewer carries from James Robinson,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: although I expect him to play absolutely. And we look
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: at the Chicago Bears in and Big Things too. We
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: mentioned Mitchell true Bisky who has definitely been heating up,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and Brian that's basically the main reason that the Chicago
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Bears are heating up is when he plays good, the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Bears play good. When he plays bad, they struggle. But
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: he's been heating up and their backs are against the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: wall seven wins and they need a win to get
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: into the playoffs. And that's not a team you want
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: to face December. Well, I mean you choose your word.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Um A caretaker quarterback, a system quarterback, um, a game manager? Right?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I mean the Bears have talent on both sides of
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the ball, legitimate talent, you know, in the receiving game,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: in the running game, rushing the past or This is
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: a good, solid football team, but they haven't gotten consistent
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: quarterback play. Um. Trabinsky has come alive the last couple
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: of weeks. They've won two in a row. But he
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: has eight touchdowns and only three turnovers in the last
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: four games. So with him playing well, that lets guys
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: like Allen Robinson and David Montgomery and Khalil Mack and
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and the linebacking corps, you know it, lets those guys
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: make plays. Um. Look, they're a highly motivated team and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: they've got their playmakers right. Imagine if Khalil Mack wasn't
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: on the field for them the last couple of weeks,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: how good would they be? Not that good? I mean
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Jaguars about Josh Allen Not that good. Um, this is
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: trapisky if he comes in here and and plays the game.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: And Todd wash said yesterday that they were putting him
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in positions to succeed. They were rolling him out. They
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: weren't asking him to stand in the pocket and throw
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the ball like Tom Bradier Peyton Manning. They were putting
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: him in a position to do what he does. Um,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: And I expect that he'll play smart football because he
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: knows that his chance to get another bite of the apple,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: so to speak, somewhere next year, if not in Chicago,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: you know, rests on what he does with this opportunity. Yes,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: a ton on the line for that Chicago Bears team
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: in Jonathan, I'll leave it up to you. How do
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: you see this going on Sunday? Well, uh, I agree
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: that Rabiski is the key to me. If he doesn't
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: turn it over. If the Bears don't turn it over,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I think it early. Uh. I think they win, and
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: they may be able to turn it over once and win.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: We saw that last week. The Ravens turned it over
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and still it was over by halftime. I think the
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Bears will look at the Jaguars and say, you haven't
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: stopped the Titans, you haven't stopped the Ravens running the ball.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: You didn't stop Dalvin Cooking in overtime, you didn't stay
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: You know, you can go back a month now. Running
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the ball against the Jaguars when teams have committed to
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: it has worked. It's been there at Chilly's heel the Jaguars.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: So the Bears three the last four games, they're running
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: back and I'm drawing a blank David Montgomery has running
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: for a hundred yards. The Bears love to throw, but
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I think in this game, you know, they're coaching staff
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: looks at it and says, well, we're gonna run until
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: you stop us, and your offense is not good enough
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to get away from us while we're trying to do that.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: So that's the formula. The Bear stick to it, and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: if they stick to it, they'll win the game. It's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: as simple as that. Chicago Bears Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. It is Christmas Eve, and I have assigned
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: some homework for the fellas when we come back. A
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Christmas letter to you coming up on Jabs track. Yes,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I wanted to just point out with big Thing three
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to use it to say that Logan Cook, whom we've
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: forgotten about, pro Bowl caliber player, has had a tremendous year,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: and I didn't want to let this segment go without
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: at least acknowledging he's not in the game now. I
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: mean he's on the COVID list. Um, And when you're
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: talking about your punter as one of your players, you
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: have not had a good season. But I thought it
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: was worthy of us mentioning that he had been a
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: tremendous asset for this football team. The ship start to

  Speaker 1: holiday spirits. Santa is a very busy guy, say as
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: we all know, but we have included three letters that
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: we hope get to him. Brian, what are you asking
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Santa this year? Well? Look, I mean I gotta set
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: this up. You may or may not know, I have
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: a twin brother who's an attorney UM, and my twin
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: brother and I competed our whole lives. He obviously one UM,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: but I would always blame him, and he would always
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: blame me. So our letters would go back and forth.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: You know, it was Terry's fault, it was Brian's fault.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: And so in the spirit of my attorney twin brother,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: my letter to Santa is all about the truth setting
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: me free. So I think, Dear Santa, I haven't really
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: been that good this year. I haven't been that nice,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I haven't been that forgiving. I just haven't been that good.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: In anybody who tells you that they have been good,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Ashlyn John are just lying to you. They're just telling
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: you what you want to here. All year long, all
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I tried to do on this program is in particular,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: is tell people what they needed to hear about this franchise.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: It didn't always sit well, But the reality of it
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: is is that being honest has set me free, which
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: is why I am so brazen and blatant as we
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: get to the end of the year. I haven't been
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: that good, but being honest you count for something. UM.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I'd like these in the world right at the end,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: you ask for anything but that. I'm not sure that
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: you have any perspective. Um and end to hunger. And
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: we have homeless here at the beach and I see
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: them all the time. You know, you do to Ashland
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and there's no one in this country that you go hungry.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: And goodwill this year in the hearts of men and women,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: reaching out not to give something or take something, but
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: to grab the hand of your neighbor, black, white, male, female,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: no matter what, and unite in this human experience as
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: we come to one of the most important days in
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the Christian world Christmas. Oh, when I'd like a quarterback
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: from Clemson Ryan, I knew that was coming. That had
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: me included somewhere. I hope, Yeah, it's not so, it's
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: it's just give your heads. I have to read it
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: off my laptop, so I'm gonna change frames here a minute. Um,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Dear Santa Claus, how are you? This is zone. I
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: hope you had a great year. I'm sure you did.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Quarantine is kind of your thing, right either way. I
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: hope the egg nog was cold and the fire was
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: as warm as the loving arms of Mrs Claus. Secondly, Santa,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I do have a few gripes when I wrote last year,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I said real life scout boy canteen, not let's go
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: one and thirteen, And I said first round by not
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: old man TI getting gear class. Anyway, I've been good
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: this year, Nikki, not like Brian. I've stopped yelling at
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: my support in cast and I stopped making fun of
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: that neighborhood lady who's lip does that thing? You know,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not complaining about last year either. I can't thank
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: you enough for James Robinson and Miles Jack. That was cool.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: As for what I want, you, old Reindeer Rider, well,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I really don't need anything. See is Slynn and Brian
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: know I'm a giver. I long for the happiness is
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: close to me. Think of me as your special little
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: elf Santa a helper. Give Slenn something nice and Sexton,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I guess Palm Beach girls and guys with cool brothers,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: well they need left to it's their happiness. I could
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: and I'm not bragging here either. You're read caped rascal humility.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: That's another one of my many strengths. But what do
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I really want? Can I get to the point please? Ah? Yes,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: nick Man, there are a few things I want. Doug
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Morown to get a win, but only if the Jets
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: win too, and a Pro Bowl revote for Jack and Robinson.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Stuff that, and you're stocking Slynn. But I left the
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: biggest last toy. Boy, however it happens, get me a tall,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: strapping quarterback with golden locks and a cannon arm. Not
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: for me, you big gutted bear of joy, but for
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: those around me, for Brian because nothing would make him happier,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: And for this little elf. That would be the greatest
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: gift of all. Oh, John, Mike twinn Brogger had only
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: ever been his kind to me as you just were. Ok,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Santa's little Elf. What in the world? All right, John,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Well done, well done. So mine actually isn't from me.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: My friend Trevor sent me this letter in the mail
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: to read on air because apparently he can't get in
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: direct contact with Santa. Something weird is going on in Clemson.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: So this is what he wrote. Dear Santa, it's me Trevor.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: We spoke last year when you gave me that sweet
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: apple watch. Anyways, I hope you're hanging in there. You
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: see my Christmas wi already came true. Kind of. I'm
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: really not a New York guy. The big Apple not
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: for me, but you know what I do like beaches,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: warm weather, palm trees, lemon bar Jacksonll doesn't sound so
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: bad after all, Santa. I understand the business, you see,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: and I asked you to do something that will make
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: some people bad and sad, but also kind of happy
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: for Christmas. I would like the New York Jets to
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: be winners, win it all when the rest of the season,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: because my agent, he sent me the press conference, Doug
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Maro own wants to win. I'm a guy that likes
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: make everyone happy, and you seem kind of like that
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: guy guy as well as Santa. When I'm the quarterback
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: for the Jaguars, you and I can kick back, relax
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: and talk about this year, how the best of both
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: worlds aligned. A win in Jacksonville but also a win
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: in New York. Baby forever yours, Trevor, where's my foss? Anyone?

• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and Parah here for you, Here for good Jacksonville. We're
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: back to Jack's Drive time Thursday morning, on this Christmas Eve,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: presented by Fields Auto Group, and we do not have
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: a Friday show tomorrow because it is Christmas, so we're
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: gonna do He will might today for Sunday's game against
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the Bears. Brian, you're up. Okay, Well I'm going with
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Chinla Ridley and I'm just looking up numbers here real quick, um.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: And you know they weren't what I thought they might
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: be this year, you know, only thirty three catches and
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Um. But I saw a play last week
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to say he will be a threat
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: down the middle of the field on Sunday against Chicago.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: You know, I in my um my quick thoughts after
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: the game, I said that the Jaguars really needed to
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: find a tight end, a guy like Mark Andrews who
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: adjusts to the young quarterback and finds a way not
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: only to get open but to you know, catch an
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: uncatchable ball or fight off the defensive back. And ifort
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: is still a relatively young player, maybe he never recovers
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: to you know, to be able to be that guy.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: But in the third quarter I saw a play down
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the middle of the field where he did that for
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Minshew and I thought, okay, well maybe there's something there.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say that he'll be a factor no
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: matter the quarterback. By the way, because when Mike Lennon
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: was in the game, Glennon used the quarterbacks more efficiently
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: than the other quarterbacks had. The tight ends were you know,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: chain movers, guys who kept drives alive. So I'm gonna
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: say Ifort will be that guy, um, you know, he
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: won't all of a sudden become that touchdown guy, that
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: red zone guy, which I thought he might be. Truthfully,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars weren't in the red zone enough this year. Um,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: and when they were, he wasn't a factor. So he
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: won't be on Sunday. Um, but he might be the
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Jaguars leading receiver. Um. He might catch seven or eight
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: passes for sixty seventy yards and six of those will
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: be first downs. Nice, I'm liking it. And Keith to
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Tyler Eiffert is who will play quarterback? So John, obviously
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: you have to include both because we don't have any answer.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: All right, bear with me. Here he will and he
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: might is Gardner Minshew and Mike glenned he will start
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: because well one of them has to start, right, yeah,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: so start. He won't start. He won't start because one
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: of him can't start. So he might. I don't know.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's the quarterback. I don't know what these
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: guys will do. But if it might not be really
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: good because so far the quarterback play hasn't elevated anything.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what they might do. Brian, they
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: might and they might win, and the Jets might win
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: and everything might be okay. Mary Krema, Mary Krema. Uh,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: he put a lot of thought into that. I see,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: very nice, John, he will he won't. What are we doing?
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: What are we doing? Is Healing Cole wide receiver Keiling
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Cole will have something to prove these next two weeks,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: showing that new general manager and the rest of the
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: NFL it's time to pay me contract year in mrr,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: new general manager, if you don't see my potential, but
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I'm playing for another NFL team to notice. Healing Cole
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: a lot on the line for him. I see he
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: gets ready for a contract year and wants to put
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: good team, good tape out the next two weeks. He
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: won't tell you that though he won't gloat about it.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: He won't be arrogant about and he won't say that's
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: what he's doing. We all know this. What he's doing.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: It's in his best interest to do so, to have
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: two great games to end the season, he might finish
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the year was seven touchdowns Right now, he has five.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Could he get one this week, one next week, maybe
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: two this week. I don't know. I don't know everything,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: but I'm calling it. The man will have seven touchdown
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: to end the year. And then, Brian, the question is
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: do you pay him here? Do you pay him what
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: he wants? Do you meet in the middle, or do
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: you go somewhere else? If you're Kealing Cole, it's a
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: lot of question marks around that guy this offseason. Well,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: there's a better than average chance that he ends up
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: coming back here. And that's that's not knowing you know
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: who's going to be the coach or the general manager
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: or any of that, only because we expect the salary
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: cap to go backwards because of this year and lost revenue. Um,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: you know, only takes one one team to fall in
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: love with a guy and make a big offer, and
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: then you decide, well, I'm gonna pass because I don't
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: want to pay him that. But he might not get
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: that big offer this year because so many teams will
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: be struggling to keep their own players. So he needs
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: maybe back here on a short term deal to help
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: a young quarterback. Um, we'll see what happens again. All
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: of that is just speculation because we don't know who's
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: going to be making the decision. But there's a chance, right,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: there is a chance, and that is he will he
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: won't tea MTES when we come back, pick one and
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: pick it. Going into this NFL week coming up at time,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: you can step up to luxury now. Hello, I'm Dan Fields.

  Speaker 1: Group as we gets ready for a merry Merry Christmas.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: But before that, we have to preview this weekends and
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: the f oh Brian, You're up first as always, This
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: is real simple, um, just embracing the petty. I hope
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: that the Seahawks, we hope deal the Rams another glancing
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: blow and uh and and push the Rams and hence
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars second first round pick and do a higher spot.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Um go Seahawks. This one's in Seattle's. Seattle has been winning.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: This will be fun to watch. Should be a good game.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I hope Jalen gives up a long touchdown co Seahawks.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: We're petty here on Jags Drive Time and we love it. John,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: What are you looking at? We didn't know what game
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: you gave me. You mean you don't know what game? Well,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: it's a This is a little bit fascinating because the
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Raiders have been stumbling a little bit and they've done that.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: They did that last season if you remember, the Jaguars
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: went out and beat him, had had a chance to
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs and faded. They've lost. I think it's
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: four or five now, so they're fading again. Uh. It
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: feels like that will continue. It feels like the Dolphins
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: are one of those solid teams that are almost sneaky
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: solid that you don't really think about, and all of
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: a sudden you look at the end of the year,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: there eleven and five and or twelve and four, and
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: they're really really I think eleven and five is their possibility.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: So I think the Dolphins win this. But it's desperate
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: team and the Raiders, and that's always dangerous. But I'll
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: go with Dolphins here. I think they're pretty good. I
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: like it. Dolphins having a great here all right. I
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: have Indianapolis Colts and Pittsburgh Steelers. What the heck has
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: happened to the Pittsburgh Steelers on a losing streak. They
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: have their wide receivers dancing on logos. It's all this
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: drama in Pittsburgh and everyone is wondering is this team
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: even legit anymore? When they were the only undefeat a
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: team at one point. Indianapolis Colts looking for the lead
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: in the a f C South over the Titans, and
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I think the Colts are going to get it done
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: this week, and Brian, if they do, I'm not going
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: to turn on Sports Center. I'm not going to turn
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: on First Take because they will rip the Steelers apart
