- 0:01Speaker 1: Jeff Wars Did you don't talk with Jack Morris? Did
- 0:03Speaker 1: you Jackuarris Drive Time? Brian sex stepstick, John Oh says it,
- 0:10Speaker 1: Ashley sub Jackuarris Drive Time starts right now. You know,
- 0:17Speaker 1: we've got to take a good look at ourselves. You know,
- 0:19Speaker 1: we've got to look ourselves and you know, we've got
- 0:21Speaker 1: to put the responsibility on all of us, starting with me,
- 0:24Speaker 1: and you know, pull your boots straps up and let's go.
- 0:31Speaker 1: That is what we will endeavor to do this morning.
- 0:34Speaker 1: I'd say good morning, but in this building, despite that
- 0:39Speaker 1: beautiful sunrise, it doesn't feel all that good. Welcome to
- 0:42Speaker 1: Jack's Drive Time. Brian Sexton along with Ashlyn Sullivan and
- 0:45Speaker 1: John Oh youring. It's brought to you on Mondays by
- 0:48Speaker 1: our friends at Jet Home Loans. We've got a lot
- 0:50Speaker 1: to get into. But here's the here's the overriding theme here. Um.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Help is not on the way for the defense. They
- 0:58Speaker 1: shouldn't need it. The years that they've got are the
- 1:01Speaker 1: players that built this defense into the one, into one
- 1:04Speaker 1: of the best defenses in football. Right on the offense,
- 1:09Speaker 1: help is on the way. If Leonard Fernette is a
- 1:13Speaker 1: guy you can say is help if he's going to
- 1:15Speaker 1: be back this week, if Eric Flowers, I mean, I
- 1:17Speaker 1: can't believe I'm saying it's excited him on Friday, right,
- 1:19Speaker 1: But you need help on the offensive line in the
- 1:21Speaker 1: worst way, and so you know there, Yeah, there's not
- 1:27Speaker 1: a lot of help on the way on the offense
- 1:28Speaker 1: if you're not counting on Leonard. No, you said the
- 1:31Speaker 1: theme was you know that's not the way the theme
- 1:36Speaker 1: there's a scene in Christmas Vacation we're going to that
- 1:39Speaker 1: it's not even Halloween where Ellen tells Clark to calm down,
- 1:42Speaker 1: and Clark tells her calm down. We're at the depths
- 1:44Speaker 1: of Hell. And that's where part of that game felt.
- 1:47Speaker 1: I mean covered a lot of games, and considering where
- 1:51Speaker 1: we thought this team was three weeks ago and where
- 1:54Speaker 1: it is now, I'm not sure I've ever seen anything
- 1:58Speaker 1: that looked quite as concerning discouraging is that now? I
- 2:06Speaker 1: always on overreaction Monday, hesitate to go completely overboard because
- 2:10Speaker 1: we've all seen teams turn things around. But you know,
- 2:14Speaker 1: I used the word crisis last week. I don't know
- 2:16Speaker 1: what described this. Well, we're gonna try dramatic drop off.
- 2:19Speaker 1: It's crazy that three weeks ago we were talking about
- 2:21Speaker 1: this team and I think just the expectations of this team,
- 2:24Speaker 1: it's it's disappointing. Do you know what it felt like
- 2:26Speaker 1: to me and Ashlyn you weren't here yet, but John,
- 2:29Speaker 1: it reminded me of that Thursday night game in Nashville
- 2:31Speaker 1: two years ago. You remember the last time they wore
- 2:33Speaker 1: those awful mustard uniforms. Uh, that game was worse than
- 2:37Speaker 1: those uniforms were. It seemed as if because of this um,
- 2:41Speaker 1: neither side of the ball that night in Nashville could
- 2:45Speaker 1: do anything. I mean, it was their hands were on
- 2:47Speaker 1: their heads. What in the world are we going to
- 2:49Speaker 1: do in the first quarter? Well, it it felt that way.
- 2:53Speaker 1: When the Cowboys went up to nothing, It felt like
- 2:56Speaker 1: nothing that they were doing or could do based on
- 3:00Speaker 1: the you know, the population of their office, who they
- 3:03Speaker 1: had to be able to play with, I was going
- 3:05Speaker 1: to be able to come back and counter attend nothing.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Lead was insurmountable for this offense yesterday. Yeah, it felt
- 3:11Speaker 1: like a couple of things me, Brian, and you know
- 3:14Speaker 1: these references too. Unfortunately, like Kansas City last week, where
- 3:19Speaker 1: the defend you know, I'm trying to be snide, but
- 3:22Speaker 1: where the defense in the first quarter just looked kind
- 3:26Speaker 1: of like, what do we do? And that's an odd
- 3:30Speaker 1: thing to see how this defense. It also felt and
- 3:33Speaker 1: I have to go in the way back machine before
- 3:34Speaker 1: Ashton was born to two thousand. That's right, um, But
- 3:43Speaker 1: and I hate to use the phrase two thousand because
- 3:46Speaker 1: of course that you know your two thousand was a
- 3:49Speaker 1: drop off from nine. Nine. Felt a little like the
- 3:51Speaker 1: Colts on that Money Night game. I remember that one
- 3:54Speaker 1: where there had been injuries early in the season. You
- 3:57Speaker 1: felt like they were okay, they had I mean it
- 4:00Speaker 1: was earlier that season, but at Trading Water a little
- 4:03Speaker 1: bit and all of a sudden if it felt like
- 4:06Speaker 1: things caught up that night and you just wondered if
- 4:09Speaker 1: they find their footing again. This doesn't have to be that,
- 4:13Speaker 1: you know, but it had a little bit of that
- 4:16Speaker 1: feel of I don't know where the answers are. Um.
- 4:21Speaker 1: The flip side of that is there is an answer
- 4:24Speaker 1: on this team. It's not ridiculous to think that this
- 4:28Speaker 1: defense plays better. Um, it's not like they're completely depleted
- 4:32Speaker 1: with what is supposed to be their strength. But right
- 4:35Speaker 1: now you have to use the phrase supposed to be
- 4:37Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that. We've got plenty to get
- 4:39Speaker 1: into first though, and this seems ridiculous to say after
- 4:43Speaker 1: a forty seven lost, but our Twitter pool is the
- 4:46Speaker 1: Exfinity Player of the Game for the Jaguars, and um, well,
- 4:52Speaker 1: there are a couple of guys we can point to.
- 4:54Speaker 1: D D. Westbrook had the big touchdown, the only touchdown.
- 4:57Speaker 1: UM Kelvin smith let the team with ten tackles, a
- 5:01Speaker 1: unique in Gockway had two sacks. Was within probably a
- 5:05Speaker 1: half a yard of that being three. Uh, someone else.
- 5:10Speaker 1: I guess this is sponsors why we're doing We should
- 5:14Speaker 1: probably just make Exfinity Option ABC and and have been
- 5:20Speaker 1: done with it because the comments from people about how
- 5:23Speaker 1: can you have a player of the game, well we do.
- 5:25Speaker 1: We always have that player of the game after every
- 5:28Speaker 1: win and after every loss. So deal with it, folks
- 5:30Speaker 1: there there. But to your point, this was a a
- 5:36Speaker 1: rare game where um, the Doug hit on the head.
- 5:40Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm not saying he doesn't use a
- 5:42Speaker 1: hit on the head, But in his comments after the
- 5:44Speaker 1: game where he said it was poor, it really was
- 5:49Speaker 1: something where he couldn't stand up there and say we
- 5:54Speaker 1: can build on this. We can build on that those
- 5:56Speaker 1: games in this league are rare, and uh for Clais
- 6:00Speaker 1: Campbell to use the word ugly game, I mean you
- 6:04Speaker 1: had guys in the locker room who can usually sort
- 6:06Speaker 1: of spin it forward, and their tones sounded very real.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Of this is something we gotta fit. Claius last week
- 6:17Speaker 1: had talked about a game where nothing went their way,
- 6:20Speaker 1: and but he was convincing in the locker room last week.
- 6:24Speaker 1: It was almost as if he was trying to sell it.
- 6:27Speaker 1: It was a little stunt. Yeah, And I don't see
- 6:29Speaker 1: how now being stunned again doesn't. There's been plenty of
- 6:34Speaker 1: teams who have been stunted during the very season. You know,
- 6:37Speaker 1: the Titans lost like eighty nine to nothing once last year.
- 6:41Speaker 1: I mean exaggerate, but it was a four team. If
- 6:44Speaker 1: you're in this league for any amount of time you're
- 6:46Speaker 1: gonna take you can come back from things like this.
- 6:48Speaker 1: But this isn't, you know, so unexpected. Yeah, this is
- 6:52Speaker 1: not one that you just kind of say, okay, uh,
- 6:56Speaker 1: it's a loss that's move you know, this is a
- 6:59Speaker 1: foundation and shaker where you have to say, let's get
- 7:03Speaker 1: the foundation back. This is not just okay, burn the
- 7:05Speaker 1: film move off, right, all right? So let's get into
- 7:07Speaker 1: big things so we can all right, big thing one
- 7:10Speaker 1: is dominated in Dallas. The Cowboys absolutely dominated at the
- 7:14Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Credit goes their offensive line defensively, the
- 7:17Speaker 1: allowed three seventy eight yards. Miles Jack says, this defense
- 7:20Speaker 1: needs to get back on track. The defense. We've got
- 7:22Speaker 1: to go out there on the first job and get
- 7:24Speaker 1: it three and now we can't give an offense hope
- 7:26Speaker 1: or momentum or a feeling like they can drive on us.
- 7:29Speaker 1: So we got we gotta start the game on fast um,
- 7:32Speaker 1: which we haven't done the last two weeks. And yeah,
- 7:35Speaker 1: we just gotta be better. It's gotta be better. Man,
- 7:37Speaker 1: myself included, I gotta be better. So the word in
- 7:40Speaker 1: Dallas last week was that the Cowboys offensive line was
- 7:45Speaker 1: a shell of itself, not playing well, missing center Travis Frederick.
- 7:48Speaker 1: They weren't the same. You just saw the touchdown run
- 7:51Speaker 1: that the Jaguars were driven off the ball two and
- 7:53Speaker 1: three yards um. From the very first series all the
- 7:57Speaker 1: way through, the Jaguars defensive front was dominated. Dominated Tyrone Smith.
- 8:04Speaker 1: That left tackle he handled the first half. He handled,
- 8:08Speaker 1: the speed rush and the moves of Yanique and the
- 8:11Speaker 1: power rush of Calais. The Jaguars got whipped up front,
- 8:16Speaker 1: and I I didn't I thought that would might be
- 8:19Speaker 1: a draw. They got whipped. Yeah, and that it seemed
- 8:26Speaker 1: and I watched the game this morning, it seemed like
- 8:29Speaker 1: it's started there and then the reaction to that caused
- 8:35Speaker 1: a lot of the Cowboys misdirection to work. Once as
- 8:39Speaker 1: as a defense, you know one thing is not working,
- 8:41Speaker 1: you have to overcompensate for it. There's so much to
- 8:44Speaker 1: get into with the defense. It wasn't just what you're
- 8:46Speaker 1: talking about, but it sure started there. And that's a
- 8:49Speaker 1: surprise because you thought that this defensive line was something
- 8:53Speaker 1: you could always count on. Well one of the reasons. Look,
- 8:56Speaker 1: two players beat the Jaguars esterday. Ezekiel Elliott is not
- 8:58Speaker 1: one of them to play years Dak Prescott and Cole
- 9:02Speaker 1: Beasley and Dak Prescott. He and it was only in
- 9:06Speaker 1: the first half, right, So take the second half and
- 9:08Speaker 1: set it aside for a moment. In the first half,
- 9:10Speaker 1: he had a hundred and fifty one of his passing
- 9:12Speaker 1: yards and fifty three of his rushing yards. He only
- 9:15Speaker 1: had eighty rushing yards and a hundred and eighty passing yards.
- 9:18Speaker 1: He did his damage in the first half. Cole Beasley
- 9:21Speaker 1: had six of his nine catches and eighty of his
- 9:23Speaker 1: hundred yards and both of his touchdowns in the first half.
- 9:26Speaker 1: So what did he have time to throw? And Prescott
- 9:29Speaker 1: had that because of the misdirection and his footwork was
- 9:34Speaker 1: more than the Jaguars could handle. And I we had
- 9:37Speaker 1: people on this show last week last week, and people
- 9:39Speaker 1: in Dallas said they thought they might be able to
- 9:41Speaker 1: take advantage of the Jaguars aggressiveness. And they did with
- 9:45Speaker 1: the misdirections, the boots, the waggles, they took advantage of. Yeah,
- 9:49Speaker 1: they just looked confused and all of it. What was
- 9:50Speaker 1: concerning to me was the amount of times we heard miscommunication.
- 9:53Speaker 1: You heard it in Ducks press conference, you heard it
- 9:55Speaker 1: in the locker room after the loss. They just looked
- 9:58Speaker 1: straight up confused the whole game. The Jaguar defense. Yes,
- 10:02Speaker 1: and uh, that's a major problem because it looks like
- 10:06Speaker 1: it happened two games in a row. Um, the a
- 10:11Speaker 1: common thread and and once you look for is some
- 10:17Speaker 1: sort of thing to hold your hat on that maybe
- 10:19Speaker 1: they can get out of it. The common thread does
- 10:21Speaker 1: seem to be mobile quarterbacks. Uh. And A the quarterbacks
- 10:27Speaker 1: ability to scare you with the run pass option. Uh,
- 10:32Speaker 1: guess what this is not. He's not the last two
- 10:35Speaker 1: teams they're gonna face. They can up this week. You
- 10:37Speaker 1: get to Shawn Watson, who may not be the mobile
- 10:39Speaker 1: guy that he was a year ago before he got hurt,
- 10:42Speaker 1: at least not now, but they still run elements of it.
- 10:44Speaker 1: He can still hurt you with that. Uh. And they
- 10:48Speaker 1: look they have they have looked at the key points
- 10:53Speaker 1: of the game, which with this offense right now, the
- 10:54Speaker 1: key points of the game the first ten minutes because
- 10:56Speaker 1: you don't come back. They have looked confused. Last week,
- 11:01Speaker 1: we all talked about the flat comments. You know, it
- 11:07Speaker 1: came out flat, And I said at the time, I
- 11:10Speaker 1: didn't think they came out flat as much as when
- 11:13Speaker 1: you don't feel like you know what you're doing, and
- 11:15Speaker 1: when you feel like the other team is faster than
- 11:17Speaker 1: you are and as ahead of you, you feel flat
- 11:20Speaker 1: because you're reacting and and you're not the aggressor. They
- 11:23Speaker 1: look flat again yesterday, think for the same reason. Okay,
- 11:25Speaker 1: so that is a major concern because at what point
- 11:30Speaker 1: have we said that about this team since the start
- 11:33Speaker 1: of two thousand seventeen, that they looked like they didn't
- 11:37Speaker 1: know what they were they were doing right that. So
- 11:41Speaker 1: that's on Todd Washing and his staff this week. If this,
- 11:45Speaker 1: if this defense looks like that in back to back weeks,
- 11:48Speaker 1: maybe they didn't know what they were doing. You have
- 11:51Speaker 1: to adjust now, I mean, if you just did what
- 11:54Speaker 1: you did, well, they figured him out. The Cowboys figured
- 11:59Speaker 1: them out, and they made no adjustments because of that. Well,
- 12:01Speaker 1: they did make adjustments in the second half. Of course,
- 12:04Speaker 1: the game was different the second half when when the
- 12:05Speaker 1: Cowboys are leading nothing. However, in the first half, which
- 12:09Speaker 1: is why I'm separating the two halves, the first half
- 12:11Speaker 1: the game was over the first quarter maybe, but in
- 12:13Speaker 1: that first half, even the one time they stopped him,
- 12:17Speaker 1: but one time Jaguars get the penalty, and the Cowboys
- 12:20Speaker 1: went right back to the misdirection, the waggles, the boots,
- 12:24Speaker 1: they didn't adjust to it in the first half. Right,
- 12:26Speaker 1: They're getting six saddles on first down off that, and
- 12:29Speaker 1: you felt like the Jaguars defense was like the whole
- 12:32Speaker 1: team was playing at hill the entire game. But you
- 12:35Speaker 1: felt like the Jaguars defense was playing at hill. They
- 12:37Speaker 1: weren't the aggressors. Uh. There the thing that you always
- 12:44Speaker 1: hear is well, why are they playing so much zone?
- 12:46Speaker 1: H And that is a question. You play zone against
- 12:52Speaker 1: these kind of mobile quarterbacks because if you play man,
- 12:55Speaker 1: they can beat you even worse with their mobility. Uh
- 12:59Speaker 1: So that's the argument for zone against man to man.
- 13:04Speaker 1: But it's not working. No, it's not alright, change needs
- 13:09Speaker 1: to come to big thing too is train wreck. So
- 13:12Speaker 1: we just talked about the defense. Let's go to the
- 13:14Speaker 1: offense now. Offensively ten first downs the Cowboys twenty three
- 13:17Speaker 1: first downs orders, some not great decisions. You saw the
- 13:21Speaker 1: absence of Leonard for net yet again, yet again. An
- 13:23Speaker 1: offensive line, Oh Boys offensive line. Yeah. So there was
- 13:27Speaker 1: a photo in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael last week
- 13:31Speaker 1: with a train that had been blown off the tracks.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Cars were everywhere, wheels up. That's what this offense feels
- 13:40Speaker 1: like right now, that you've got to get a crane
- 13:41Speaker 1: in there and pick the pieces up and put it
- 13:43Speaker 1: all back together. Um. But as I mentioned, you know,
- 13:47Speaker 1: there are a couple of cars that maybe you're talking
- 13:50Speaker 1: about helping you. I don't know, John, I mean right now,
- 13:54Speaker 1: and we're add nauseum on this one. We have talked
- 13:57Speaker 1: about the lack of personality. Uh, the Jaguars stinked. Two
- 14:01Speaker 1: back sets, the power sets that they wanted to run.
- 14:05Speaker 1: Lost in all of this is not Leonard's injury or
- 14:09Speaker 1: Corey Davis's absence, but what it means not to have
- 14:13Speaker 1: Austin Seferian Jenkins on the field, that big tight end
- 14:16Speaker 1: that makes a lot of things go. Well, you're the
- 14:19Speaker 1: point now where I've heard criticism of this from people saying, well,
- 14:24Speaker 1: how can you say that the injuries are hurting the
- 14:26Speaker 1: offense when they didn't have any playmakers to begin with.
- 14:29Speaker 1: They weren't an offense of of Pro Bowl playmakers, but
- 14:35Speaker 1: they were an offense that had a lot of different pieces. Again,
- 14:40Speaker 1: I always going back to the Atlanta game, but the
- 14:41Speaker 1: stat jumps out even beyond the two back dynamic look
- 14:48Speaker 1: they had. I think the stat was they had eleven
- 14:51Speaker 1: guys catch passes in the first half of that game,
- 14:53Speaker 1: or eleven guys catch passes when the game was in doubt.
- 14:57Speaker 1: And I believe the stat that I wrote was that
- 14:59Speaker 1: at ten of them looked like they were guys who
- 15:01Speaker 1: were going to be big parts of what you do well.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Marquis Lee was in that bunch. I believe, no doubt uh,
- 15:11Speaker 1: that was the game. He got hurt early on. You
- 15:14Speaker 1: were counting on him, Safari and Jenkins. We're at Grant
- 15:19Speaker 1: cam Robinson, right, who's very important in the running game.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Was struggling and passing offense, but really important in the
- 15:25Speaker 1: run game. So is Marquise. Other people want to discount that.
- 15:28Speaker 1: So it's you've lost a lot of your pieces. None
- 15:33Speaker 1: of them were all pro pieces. But if you had
- 15:36Speaker 1: all these guys who were maybe bees, and you've taken
- 15:39Speaker 1: a lot of bees off and now you replace them
- 15:41Speaker 1: with a plant, your deteriorated had a bunch of contributions.
- 15:44Speaker 1: You had a plan for how you were going to
- 15:46Speaker 1: play football this and that plan can withstand one or
- 15:49Speaker 1: two loss. But go back to the touchdown that Leonard
- 15:53Speaker 1: had in that Atlanta game. Remember he ran right and
- 15:55Speaker 1: then Safari and Jenkins led the way and he had
- 15:58Speaker 1: an athletic cut back and back to the middle of
- 16:01Speaker 1: the field. Your first thought, Bryan, you said the next morning, boy,
- 16:04Speaker 1: this is the guy we drafted exactly, and Austin Seferie
- 16:07Speaker 1: Jenkins in the locker room after that game said, that's
- 16:10Speaker 1: why I came here, because that guy is so special.
- 16:12Speaker 1: He can go back the other way. Both of those
- 16:15Speaker 1: guys are out of the offense right now. And if
- 16:17Speaker 1: you need to understand the impact of a big time back,
- 16:21Speaker 1: you saw it in the second half yesterday. What Ezekiel
- 16:24Speaker 1: Elliott in particular meant to their ability. It still wasn't
- 16:29Speaker 1: really a game, but seven they started pounding him and
- 16:33Speaker 1: they took away the Jaguars will. Uh. This is how
- 16:37Speaker 1: anemic it felt yesterday. I got a couple of questions
- 16:41Speaker 1: on boardles and I barely even thought about borders as
- 16:45Speaker 1: a problem. I get that there are major, major issues
- 16:49Speaker 1: there over the long term, but yesterday he was so
- 16:54Speaker 1: far down the list. I didn't even the offensive well.
- 16:59Speaker 1: And again the interest option was horrible, but it was
- 17:06Speaker 1: the the pressure up the middle yesterday on boardles is
- 17:12Speaker 1: a major concern because this is an area that I
- 17:16Speaker 1: guess they're playing hurt because the interior line on one sack,
- 17:21Speaker 1: in particular, Andrew Nowell was was beaten really badly. And
- 17:25Speaker 1: the only thing you think of he must not be
- 17:26Speaker 1: able to slide and move with the toe. And remember,
- 17:29Speaker 1: these guys have all been on the injury most of
- 17:32Speaker 1: the week. They've practiced on Friday and played, and that
- 17:35Speaker 1: showed up yesterday too, hence train wreck meaning you gotta
- 17:39Speaker 1: pick every car up and put it back. The only
- 17:41Speaker 1: thing you can hope for at this point is that
- 17:43Speaker 1: if you can get your playmaker and Leonard back on
- 17:45Speaker 1: the field, it can open some things up. But gosh,
- 17:48Speaker 1: it was just so clear. They weren't scared of James
- 17:51Speaker 1: O'Shaughnessy or David Grinage or Niles Paul. They weren't scared
- 17:55Speaker 1: of Keelan Cole. They you know, Deeedie Westbrook gave them
- 17:58Speaker 1: some pause because he's got that blowsiveness out there. Dante
- 18:01Speaker 1: Moncrief was single covered. That didn't bother them either. There's nobody.
- 18:04Speaker 1: You have to game plan no one. There's nobody, and
- 18:07Speaker 1: which is why attend nothing. Hole was more than they
- 18:09Speaker 1: could overcome, encountering that. I wrote last week that for
- 18:15Speaker 1: Nette wasn't great last season, but he was leased on
- 18:18Speaker 1: the fields. People got mad at me for saying, well,
- 18:20Speaker 1: how can you not say it was great? Well, he
- 18:21Speaker 1: wasn't great, he was he was good, and I thought
- 18:24Speaker 1: he was showing signs making that step. But what he
- 18:29Speaker 1: was was somebody they had to be concerned about. What
- 18:33Speaker 1: he was was as much as people criticized the derris
- 18:35Speaker 1: Will not being able to move against eight man fronts.
- 18:37Speaker 1: Last year, they at least knew that the opponent was
- 18:41Speaker 1: going to be in the eight man front. As a result,
- 18:43Speaker 1: you can call plays, you can scheme knowing what you're
- 18:47Speaker 1: gonna see right now, that teams don't have to stop
- 18:51Speaker 1: them with an eight man front, and therefore the play action,
- 18:53Speaker 1: as we've talked about Brian isn't there because there's really
- 18:58Speaker 1: no way to base off of your own strength. They
- 19:04Speaker 1: don't have any sort of identity. The optimism from August
- 19:08Speaker 1: was based on the Jaguars ability to play. We've said
- 19:11Speaker 1: this the style of football they played in Pittsburgh in
- 19:13Speaker 1: the Divisional title game or the divisional playoff game, based
- 19:17Speaker 1: on running the ball with play action and then keeping
- 19:19Speaker 1: the defense fresh and not asking, hey, defense score for us, right,
- 19:23Speaker 1: which is what you felt yesterday. Well, if you can score,
- 19:25Speaker 1: the defense is going to have to do it. So
- 19:27Speaker 1: now you've taken one side of the ball and you've
- 19:29Speaker 1: put it all on them because the other side hasn't
- 19:31Speaker 1: been able to get it done. Does for Net come
- 19:33Speaker 1: back this week? I guess we'll find out if he's
- 19:35Speaker 1: gonna practice on Wednesday, maybe this afternoon when when Doug
- 19:38Speaker 1: Marone speaks, Boy, he better get back fast because at
- 19:41Speaker 1: this point t J. Yelden isn't isn't frightening anyone. Did
- 19:45Speaker 1: you see any pop from Jamal Charles yesterday? Of course
- 19:48Speaker 1: it's not fair with he just got right. You can't
- 19:51Speaker 1: expect and the offensive line isn't playing well. But he
- 19:54Speaker 1: did back. He wasn't going to come in and have
- 19:57Speaker 1: the dynamical exhibit. That's why I'm saying absolutely and even
- 20:01Speaker 1: beyond what we found out that I think Corey Grant
- 20:04Speaker 1: wasn't which was in every down back, it was the
- 20:08Speaker 1: combination we saw Dallas histego misdirection and we've seen the
- 20:14Speaker 1: Chiefs do that as well. That's what the threat of
- 20:18Speaker 1: for net, the speed of Corey Grant working together complementary
- 20:24Speaker 1: t J. Yell. Then again you can say, well, uh,
- 20:27Speaker 1: he doesn't doesn't scare you, but boy can he be
- 20:30Speaker 1: effective as part of that package we're talking about now
- 20:34Speaker 1: he's the main guy. You never envisioned him being the
- 20:36Speaker 1: main guy. He doesn't scare you as in every downpack,
- 20:39Speaker 1: he doesn't make you think like Leonard does what he's
- 20:41Speaker 1: capable of doing. He just kind of slides in their
- 20:44Speaker 1: complimentaries the way he can sure produce circumstances are right,
- 20:47Speaker 1: that's the right word for this this offense. They have
- 20:50Speaker 1: a lot of complimentary pieces, they don't have the stars right,
- 20:56Speaker 1: and Letter needs to get back to give you a
- 20:58Speaker 1: guy that you hope can become a store. But at
- 20:59Speaker 1: this point, even the thirteen million dollars you spent on
- 21:02Speaker 1: Andrew Nowell is not effective money right now because he's
- 21:06Speaker 1: injured and you don't have the guy running behind him
- 21:08Speaker 1: that you thought you would, so try and wreck on
- 21:10Speaker 1: the offense. Final big thing, all right, Big thing three
- 21:13Speaker 1: is must win in week seven. So we talked about
- 21:15Speaker 1: this month when we approached the month of October that
- 21:17Speaker 1: this week was going to be the most important week
- 21:20Speaker 1: of the month. Well, now it really is a f
- 21:22Speaker 1: C South match up against the Houston Texas Clais Campbell
- 21:24Speaker 1: puts in perspective for us. But we're got to figure out,
- 21:28Speaker 1: you know what we can do this week to make
- 21:30Speaker 1: sure we win this next day. No, because this one
- 21:32Speaker 1: right here, I mean we're coming to carry over. No,
- 21:38Speaker 1: you can't. Um So if you're looking for a bright
- 21:41Speaker 1: spot something to hang your hat on this morning, anybody,
- 21:43Speaker 1: does anybody? Uh? The Jaguars went from playing maybe the
- 21:47Speaker 1: best offensive line in football to an offensive line that
- 21:51Speaker 1: is a major concern this week against the Houston Texans.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Say it's worse than last year. The story there is
- 21:57Speaker 1: the guy's been hit sixty six times in six games
- 22:00Speaker 1: and has been sacked twenty five. They're running game isn't dominant.
- 22:05Speaker 1: They have one dominant player on the offensive side of
- 22:07Speaker 1: the ball and one really fast player DeAndre Hopkins and
- 22:11Speaker 1: Will Fuller. So you like your matchups, Although it's worth
- 22:14Speaker 1: pointing out Jalen Ramsey was dragging his leg in the
- 22:17Speaker 1: fourth quarter yesterday. His injury status this week his availability
- 22:22Speaker 1: is going to be a major concern for this football
- 22:24Speaker 1: team as they get set to take on to Shaun Watson. Um.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Thanks for bringing his thick good news, Bro, appreciate well. Okay, however,
- 22:31Speaker 1: I did start with the news that the Jaguars defensive
- 22:33Speaker 1: front should be able to get after these guys because
- 22:36Speaker 1: this Texans offensive line is just not good. Do you
- 22:40Speaker 1: like the matchup that's for sure this week? Yeah? And again,
- 22:43Speaker 1: the thing that I think it scares you is I
- 22:46Speaker 1: think a major storyline the next two weeks Carson Wentz
- 22:49Speaker 1: as well. Both of them, the head aco have had injury,
- 22:53Speaker 1: so you would think that their mobility is not quite
- 22:56Speaker 1: as frightening. But this is a major now, you know,
- 23:02Speaker 1: can you pressure mobile quarterbacks the way you can stationary ones?
- 23:07Speaker 1: As poor as the Texans offensive line is, they need
- 23:11Speaker 1: a big game to re meaning Saxonville needs to be
- 23:14Speaker 1: Saxonville again. Uh. And I think if for once the
- 23:22Speaker 1: major spotlight might not be on Blake this week, well,
- 23:25Speaker 1: I'll be on the other side of the ball. Can
- 23:26Speaker 1: they be what they were? That that light will absolutely
- 23:29Speaker 1: be bright. However, if you're looking for something that concerns
- 23:32Speaker 1: you anybody, thank you for that, um you're getting. You're
- 23:36Speaker 1: getting a Texans defense that he's starting to look like
- 23:39Speaker 1: the the the advertised unit absolutely merciless. Made a big
- 23:44Speaker 1: play yesterday. But you would have thought, Brian that that's hey,
- 23:48Speaker 1: a knockdown, drag out, you know, hit him in the
- 23:52Speaker 1: mouth matchup. That's what I thought yesterday was gonna be right.
- 23:56Speaker 1: And I've reached the point where I don't have any
- 23:58Speaker 1: more to say, Wow, we stumped because the issues are
- 24:07Speaker 1: so free enough to know you've seen too much. Yeah,
- 24:09Speaker 1: the issues are clear. All right, We'll take a break.
- 24:12Speaker 1: We'll come back with some what is next highlights? Highlights soup.
- 24:15Speaker 1: We have a few of them. We have to Yeah,

- 26:12Speaker 1: the Jaguars. I pre ferst if that offers you some comforts,
- 26:19Speaker 1: Absolutely does, I mean uh. And the reason it does
- 26:24Speaker 1: is if you step back from what happened yesterday and
- 26:28Speaker 1: you realize that in in many NFL seasons, you have
- 26:32Speaker 1: teams that struggle mightily for a couple of games and
- 26:37Speaker 1: it looked like they are done, and then by the
- 26:41Speaker 1: end of the season the storylines are often you're sitting
- 26:45Speaker 1: her own shows like this saying, boy, they they got it. Together,
- 26:49Speaker 1: they found something, and you say, if only they had
- 26:53Speaker 1: been able to get in, then, boy, wouldn't we like
- 26:58Speaker 1: what we've sent? You know? Oh, the glory of this
- 27:03Speaker 1: is that if they find something, they haven't played their
- 27:06Speaker 1: way out of it yet. If you were in the
- 27:11Speaker 1: a f C West or the Rams Division, you'd be
- 27:16Speaker 1: looking at it and you'd be counting up wild cards scenarios.
- 27:19Speaker 1: Right now, Right now, you're still very much in all
- 27:23Speaker 1: the cliches. You're in control of your destiny. You got
- 27:25Speaker 1: it now. Everybody out there saying, boy, but if they
- 27:28Speaker 1: play like that, then there's, of course there's no way
- 27:32Speaker 1: that they'll get it. But ten games, Brian, you've seen
- 27:36Speaker 1: teams that look lost that all of a sudden go
- 27:39Speaker 1: on a little run, and the best scenarios the year
- 27:43Speaker 1: we were talking about two thousand, there were two thousand.
- 27:47Speaker 1: The Titans got away from you, and they were clearly
- 27:49Speaker 1: the better team all year, and you're out of it.
- 27:52Speaker 1: They got that season to what was I think they
- 27:54Speaker 1: got to seven and seven late they did before following
- 27:56Speaker 1: it with a little run against some teams that, well,
- 28:00Speaker 1: that happens this year. You're in it the whole way,
- 28:02Speaker 1: and I'm not saying, I have no idea what the
- 28:04Speaker 1: future bringing this, but that's the point of you're in
- 28:07Speaker 1: a division like this now now you're a little run.
- 28:10Speaker 1: If you can get going, you're back in it. And
- 28:13Speaker 1: who knows. So, yes, the three and three thing, Matt Well,
- 28:15Speaker 1: and they were three or three a year ago, and
- 28:16Speaker 1: if you remember, it was after the Rams game a
- 28:18Speaker 1: year ago where they were three and three and Todd
- 28:20Speaker 1: Gurley rammed the ball down their throat in the second
- 28:22Speaker 1: half and really kept them from you know, calling their
- 28:25Speaker 1: way back into it. So you're wondering, Okay, you know,
- 28:28Speaker 1: three and three, but the defense they gave up two
- 28:31Speaker 1: fifty six yards in New York two weeks prior then
- 28:35Speaker 1: they had the big takeaway game in Pittsburgh, and then
- 28:37Speaker 1: they came home and gave up all the yards to
- 28:39Speaker 1: Jared Golf and Gurley, and you're just what what is this? Right? Um?
- 28:44Speaker 1: I brought that up talking to Clay's Cambell in the
- 28:46Speaker 1: walker room last night after the game and said, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 28:49Speaker 1: I get it. But I don't want to talk about
- 28:51Speaker 1: three and three last year because we're supposed to be
- 28:52Speaker 1: better this year. We're supposed to be more mature we're
- 28:55Speaker 1: supposed to be more aware of what we need to do,
- 28:58Speaker 1: and yesterday all we heard was they weren't right, lack
- 29:01Speaker 1: of communication. So and I totally get it right. People
- 29:05Speaker 1: should find some comfort in the fact that in this
- 29:07Speaker 1: division at three and three, you're right there, you've only
- 29:10Speaker 1: played one division game, so there's all kinds of stuff
- 29:14Speaker 1: out there. The defense has the characters, right, the actors
- 29:18Speaker 1: that you want to play, the way that you want
- 29:20Speaker 1: to play. And on offense, I have nothing to add
- 29:25Speaker 1: at that point right there, except that if you get
- 29:27Speaker 1: Leonard back, and I think we all went into the
- 29:30Speaker 1: season thinking, well, he's your best offensive player, right, Okay,
- 29:34Speaker 1: your best offensive player is not done for the year.
- 29:37Speaker 1: You can get him back. Yeah, it's also promising how
- 29:41Speaker 1: early it is on this season. It's fine that you
- 29:42Speaker 1: said lost, John. I was talking to a member of
- 29:44Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys social media team and she was saying,
- 29:47Speaker 1: you know, last week, I thought this team was lost,
- 29:49Speaker 1: and I thought it was over, and now look at
- 29:50Speaker 1: this team. So you think about how bad the Jaguars
- 29:53Speaker 1: played the last two weeks, it's still earlier. By the way.
- 29:55Speaker 1: As surprised as we are that the Jaguars got pounded
- 29:59Speaker 1: folks in Alas. They're surprised that they pounded by that reaction.
- 30:04Speaker 1: That stadium was going nuts. That was a huge one
- 30:06Speaker 1: for them. We'll see what they get done. All right?
- 30:07Speaker 1: Do you want to go through these highlights? Do I
- 30:09Speaker 1: have to do? Okay, let's start with Dak Prescott absolutely
- 30:14Speaker 1: manhandled the Jaguars defensive line along with that offensive line
- 30:17Speaker 1: for the Cowboys through and eighty three yards rush for
- 30:20Speaker 1: eighty two of them. Here is one example of that.
- 30:33Speaker 1: Prescott with over eighty yards rushing fifty three of them
- 30:37Speaker 1: in the first half. This obviously made it a tend
- 30:39Speaker 1: nothing game. That wasn't the first play action that they
- 30:43Speaker 1: ran um. This is Ezekiel's twenty yard run, his big
- 30:47Speaker 1: run in the first half. But you could just see
- 30:49Speaker 1: the offensive line pushing guys off that those two runs there,
- 30:52Speaker 1: I went, what is going on with the defensive line?
- 30:55Speaker 1: And then the closer I watched, Zack Martin had an
- 30:58Speaker 1: answer and he may be the best guard in football,
- 31:01Speaker 1: but he handled Marcel Darius like Marcell has not been
- 31:03Speaker 1: handled right. I mean, you just go down the line.
- 31:05Speaker 1: Mollie Jackson was ineffective yesterday and he got started in
- 31:09Speaker 1: the second half and given a lot of credit. I mean,
- 31:11Speaker 1: he showed you what he's capable of. He figured out
- 31:14Speaker 1: a way to beat Tyron Smith in the second half
- 31:16Speaker 1: and kept the same intensity level the entire game despite
- 31:18Speaker 1: the score. Absolutely, and and on on the Zack Um,
- 31:24Speaker 1: I'm sorry. On on the deck touchdown run, it appeared
- 31:27Speaker 1: Bury Church took a bad angle and when inside, when
- 31:32Speaker 1: it appears you should have gone outside. It's always hard
- 31:34Speaker 1: to tell. Watch watch Taven Bryan right here on this one,
- 31:36Speaker 1: by the way, right to me, that personified the day
- 31:40Speaker 1: what's going on. I guess my point with the buried
- 31:44Speaker 1: Church was it was already five or six yards downfield, right,
- 31:47Speaker 1: and that is what you know. They obviously have to
- 31:52Speaker 1: scheme something dramatically different against run pass option to make
- 31:57Speaker 1: this work because teams are killing him with it all right.
- 32:00Speaker 1: Next one, we did not talk about this last week.
- 32:01Speaker 1: This was not mentioned. Did we ever imagine that Cole
- 32:03Speaker 1: Beasley was going to cut up this Jaguars defense a
- 32:06Speaker 1: hundred yards and two touchdowns? Damn it? They sealed the pocket,
- 32:13Speaker 1: wrung it up, and he finds Beasley all alone and
- 32:17Speaker 1: he takes the football to the third Now one of these, yeah,
- 32:21Speaker 1: the answers. No, I mean you liked the one on
- 32:24Speaker 1: one matchups that you had there. They just attacked Tyler
- 32:28Speaker 1: Pattman in the first half yesterday and Beasley was running
- 32:32Speaker 1: wide open Cole Beasley across the middle, and again they
- 32:36Speaker 1: were taking advantage of very aggressive Jaguars front and Beasley
- 32:40Speaker 1: was dragging across the middle and it seemed to be
- 32:42Speaker 1: open forever. Right, it's the same stuff the Jaguars used
- 32:46Speaker 1: against New England. You know they drag r out across
- 32:49Speaker 1: the middle. Um, No, you didn't think it when when
- 32:56Speaker 1: you started looking at the tape, you said, okay, well
- 32:58Speaker 1: here's where the Jaguars can find ways to move, you know,
- 33:03Speaker 1: to to to beat the Cowboys offense. And the Cowboys
- 33:07Speaker 1: offense said, oh, well, here's how we can figure out
- 33:10Speaker 1: ways to beat this aggressive Jaguars defense. So you have
- 33:13Speaker 1: to give Scott Line had credit. He beat Todd Walsh yesterday.
- 33:15Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, right, the play we just saw sort
- 33:20Speaker 1: of personified a lot um hard to know responsibility there
- 33:25Speaker 1: without knowing the defense. But Patman's five yards up and
- 33:29Speaker 1: then you see to Sewan Gibson turn around and pointing
- 33:31Speaker 1: it himself. Again an example of the miscommunication. Uh, I'm
- 33:36Speaker 1: with Ashlyn. Every player you talked to, you talked about miscommunication.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Doug talked about it at all three levels. It's a
- 33:45Speaker 1: major confusing. The Cowboys had a plan to confuse the
- 33:49Speaker 1: Jaguars and it worked. It did work. It was effective,
- 33:52Speaker 1: that's for sure. All Right, let's shine a positive light,
- 33:54Speaker 1: shall we? Are we ready? Oh? Maybe? At this point
- 34:00Speaker 1: thought you have a chance portals best throw of the
- 34:02Speaker 1: day by far Tennessee Jackson Bill in Houston, second and nine.
- 34:08Speaker 1: That's poort throw and he's got French jacksonbille touchdown Westbrook.
- 34:15Speaker 1: You know what, what what strikes me about that play
- 34:18Speaker 1: is the posture that Bordles had in the pocket when
- 34:20Speaker 1: he turned him through was just like the touchdown past
- 34:22Speaker 1: the sixties seven yarder that he had to Dante Moncrief
- 34:25Speaker 1: against the Jets. Here. We just haven't seen enough of
- 34:27Speaker 1: that the last two weeks. That was a confident throw.
- 34:30Speaker 1: He knew exactly where he was going, he was poised.
- 34:32Speaker 1: It was his best throw of the day. But yeah,
- 34:33Speaker 1: we need more of that, that's for sure. It speaks
- 34:36Speaker 1: to what he is meaning he's not terrible, but when
- 34:43Speaker 1: he is under pressure like he has been the last
- 34:46Speaker 1: couple of weeks. He did not handle it early. Well,
- 34:49Speaker 1: I don't know that he handled it great yesterday, but
- 34:52Speaker 1: if if you go through the pressure stats, he we
- 34:58Speaker 1: know that he's not going to play fantastic with you know,
- 35:01Speaker 1: that kind of pressure. So I don't know that you
- 35:03Speaker 1: can expect him to Um. He has to be protected better.
- 35:09Speaker 1: And is that an indictment on him. I don't know,
- 35:14Speaker 1: but we know it's the case. And if if the
- 35:17Speaker 1: offensive line can't protect better, it has the last couple
- 35:20Speaker 1: of weeks, and maybe it's some of that is because
- 35:23Speaker 1: they do have the threat of the run. Uh. By
- 35:26Speaker 1: the way, we're gonna see more of this. That touchdown
- 35:29Speaker 1: was a beautiful throw, right, That's the same play that
- 35:31Speaker 1: was intercepted and returned by Heath, the very same play,
- 35:35Speaker 1: and the Cowboys read it differently. So when people are
- 35:38Speaker 1: looking going what a terrible throw, Bortles was trying to
- 35:40Speaker 1: make the same play. They ran it again and it
- 35:42Speaker 1: didn't work. You're about to see that difference was those
- 35:45Speaker 1: three guys, Well, there were three guys that we go
- 35:48Speaker 1: back and show again. There were three guys that he
- 35:50Speaker 1: threw into Westbrook. Yeah, all right, let's take a look
- 35:54Speaker 1: at it them. Okay, and it hasn't been that way
- 35:56Speaker 1: for Jackson betaking. The line go up to cover, the
- 36:02Speaker 1: third guy comes up, Heath steps in right, the corner
- 36:11Speaker 1: steps up, tips the ball. Heath is the safety over
- 36:14Speaker 1: the top. He grabs it. But it's the exact same play.
- 36:18Speaker 1: Look how confidently he throws that ball. But you see
- 36:20Speaker 1: the corner. They fell off. They read that ball. The
- 36:22Speaker 1: Cowboys defense made an adjustment absolutely. So. Of course that's
- 36:26Speaker 1: in the second half when the game was out of
- 36:27Speaker 1: hand anyway, they were trying to get something down the field.
- 36:30Speaker 1: But that was a crucial moment the game because you're
- 36:33Speaker 1: down to seven. Now, this sets it up to even
- 36:35Speaker 1: pile on more. This this was a deep side play.
- 36:38Speaker 1: This was a oh boy, Jaguars go down. Well they score,
- 36:43Speaker 1: they're up as you think you get a stop there,
- 36:48Speaker 1: maybeke it interesting in the second half, maybe be more
- 36:50Speaker 1: competitive momentum at least. And the Cowboys go right down
- 36:54Speaker 1: the field and get the field goal. So you get
- 36:56Speaker 1: the ball back down twenty You think, okay, down twenty
- 36:58Speaker 1: and see what you got. Interception right then The next
- 37:01Speaker 1: one was the fumbled by Healing Cole and it went
- 37:07Speaker 1: which I was a little surprised he didn't challenge that.
- 37:10Speaker 1: It looked it looks like they rolled out of bound
- 37:12Speaker 1: without possession. Yeah, I mean, and it looked like the
- 37:15Speaker 1: arm of the defender who recovered. I probably a good
- 37:20Speaker 1: call in the sense that it would have been hard
- 37:22Speaker 1: to overturn. But I was a little surprised he never
- 37:25Speaker 1: reached for his flag and he was standing right there.
- 37:27Speaker 1: So well on change of possession, you're supposed to I
- 37:32Speaker 1: believe getting automatic review. Uh maybe they did. Okay, all right,
- 37:37Speaker 1: last highlight, Ezekiel Elliott, we talked about them all the
- 37:39Speaker 1: way that the jag Wars equence was going to have
- 37:41Speaker 1: to stop him a hundred and six yards one touchdown.
- 37:44Speaker 1: Let's take a look at him, because that was the play.
- 37:57Speaker 1: And I wanted to put this in there, Ashley, where
- 37:58Speaker 1: I thought the Dagon was just don't have that right,
- 38:01Speaker 1: They don't have the threat of that without Leonard for
- 38:04Speaker 1: Net on the field. Forget that. The Jaguars let him
- 38:07Speaker 1: get you know, the open spot. Um he took advantage,
- 38:10Speaker 1: so smart. If you if they showed one more time,
- 38:12Speaker 1: they show Okay, you saw Dante Fowler taken outside move
- 38:17Speaker 1: and Ezekiel Elliott saw that and cut it right into
- 38:21Speaker 1: that area. You you just don't have that guy on
- 38:24Speaker 1: the field point right now, right off the bat. That's
- 38:30Speaker 1: and we talked about not having the threat of that.
- 38:32Speaker 1: I didn't think that Zeke necessarily dominated the game or
- 38:36Speaker 1: was the reason that they won, but in the first half,
- 38:42Speaker 1: his existence in the game, even though they shut him down,
- 38:47Speaker 1: affected everything else they did because you have to stop him.
- 38:50Speaker 1: It allowed them to run Dak Prescott with the run
- 38:55Speaker 1: pass option, with the waggles, with the boots. They were
- 38:57Speaker 1: so concerned about Elliott that they couldn't put more on
- 39:02Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. And that's what we talked about earlier. Without
- 39:05Speaker 1: a doubt, the Jaguars don't have that. So even if
- 39:08Speaker 1: even Burnett was not great in the past, the fact
- 39:12Speaker 1: that defenses were concerned about him was a major deal
- 39:16Speaker 1: that they don't have right now. Dak Prescott through for
- 39:19Speaker 1: one eight he ran for eight and cold Beastley had
- 39:23Speaker 1: nine catches for a hundred yards. Forget it, Forget for
- 39:27Speaker 1: a moment Elliott because in the first half he wasn't
- 39:29Speaker 1: a factor. He doesn't have those with that, I mean,
- 39:31Speaker 1: those other stats though don't exist, but totally has. However,
- 39:38Speaker 1: it was their inability to contain Prescott and cold Beastley
- 39:41Speaker 1: that lost in this game. All right, we'll take a

- 41:43Speaker 1: back Jack's drive Time Monday Jaguars lose forty seven. Time
- 41:48Speaker 1: for ozone snapshot. I'll be v no matter how down
- 41:59Speaker 1: you interrupted his owns How dare you interrupted own songs? Yet?
- 42:08Speaker 1: That soft little pipe just to weep it? Not much though. Alright,
- 42:16Speaker 1: let's go to Albert from the north side. I would
- 42:19Speaker 1: like for the team to run the ball more with
- 42:21Speaker 1: the two big backs and use the drag. Why can't
- 42:23Speaker 1: the Jaguars don't go down the field more to help
- 42:25Speaker 1: the runny? You know which two big backs? Yeah, thinks
- 42:29Speaker 1: what they're talking about. I chose this because it speaks
- 42:33Speaker 1: to the It's not a bad question, no, Um, it's
- 42:38Speaker 1: just missing the fact that they don't have two big
- 42:39Speaker 1: backs right now. Well, person, when fans watch games, or
- 42:43Speaker 1: anybody watches games, your first reaction as well, this isn't working.
- 42:48Speaker 1: So why don't they do this? And this was more
- 42:52Speaker 1: an example of many of the hundreds of emails I
- 42:55Speaker 1: got of why didn't they run more? Why didn't Nate
- 42:59Speaker 1: hack it this? Why didn't he do this? Well? I
- 43:03Speaker 1: just didn't see it on offense, particularly as a play
- 43:07Speaker 1: calling deficient game. I'm not sure what you call with
- 43:12Speaker 1: a d with an offense that is built philosophically to
- 43:16Speaker 1: be a run eccentric offense when you have the backs
- 43:20Speaker 1: they have, and when you have the interior the line
- 43:24Speaker 1: not protecting if I maybe they ran blocked, they run blucked,
- 43:29Speaker 1: Okay at times early I don't know that they have
- 43:34Speaker 1: the personnel to do what this, questions asked, Well, they
- 43:39Speaker 1: didn't yesterday. There's no doubt they did not yesterday. And
- 43:42Speaker 1: and the health of the offensive line and the tight end.
- 43:46Speaker 1: The tight end is a major It was pointed out
- 43:48Speaker 1: to me, Hey, don't forget this right and I want
- 43:52Speaker 1: because you do not have that blocking tight end makes
- 43:55Speaker 1: a lot of the things go. So to say, well,
- 43:57Speaker 1: Leonard for Nette's return gives you hope, I mean does
- 44:00Speaker 1: to some degree. However, the loss of Austin Severian Jenkins
- 44:04Speaker 1: means that Nate and Pat fhlarity they're gonna have to
- 44:07Speaker 1: find out different blocking schemes up front to make that work,
- 44:11Speaker 1: because it was a huge part of blocking part A
- 44:15Speaker 1: huge part was the interior of the line, which is
- 44:19Speaker 1: still intact, but there was for Net and a s
- 44:24Speaker 1: J out there too, And now you've lost the end
- 44:31Speaker 1: of that, I guess you will. And Cam Robinson is
- 44:33Speaker 1: the other one, a s J next to Cam Robinson
- 44:35Speaker 1: with Leonard Fronette behind it. As much as Cam may
- 44:38Speaker 1: have struggled at times pass blocking a big time run
- 44:42Speaker 1: blocker without a s J and Cam Robinson there and
- 44:45Speaker 1: for Net, that's a huge thrust that you've lost. Well,
- 44:48Speaker 1: and with all of that gone, you talked about not
- 44:49Speaker 1: being a play calling deficiency in Dallas, not sure what
- 44:52Speaker 1: he's supposed to do. There's only a small window of
- 44:55Speaker 1: place then that you can reliably count on him. You
- 44:57Speaker 1: can't just go run anything. You can't just go empty set,
- 45:00Speaker 1: let's just chuck the ball all over the field any
- 45:03Speaker 1: more than you can say, all right, we're gonna run
- 45:04Speaker 1: power now. Because you didn't have any of those options available,
- 45:07Speaker 1: his play sheet may have been, you know, this big,
- 45:10Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, it's this big because
- 45:12Speaker 1: of the personnel that he has. So it isn't as
- 45:15Speaker 1: if he can just do anything. Don't do something just
- 45:19Speaker 1: to do it that might have caused more problems. All right,
- 45:22Speaker 1: let's go to Jason from Jacksonville. Do the Jaguars know
- 45:26Speaker 1: how to play any other defense than nickel zone? What's
- 45:29Speaker 1: the point having this great secondary to just play zone
- 45:32Speaker 1: all day long? Zone? Um? Well, angry touching this a
- 45:36Speaker 1: little bit earlier as well. Uh My guess is that
- 45:43Speaker 1: you're going to see different approaches moving forward. You know,
- 45:49Speaker 1: I can't imagine that they won't change something to get
- 45:53Speaker 1: back to the aggressiveness. I think you will see more
- 45:57Speaker 1: man if nothing else, just as a we must try something,
- 46:01Speaker 1: We must try something to get back to our aggressiveness
- 46:04Speaker 1: at the same time when you're playing these mobile quarterbacks. Uh.
- 46:09Speaker 1: Think about when Blake has been at his most effective
- 46:12Speaker 1: running this year. It's been when teams have been in
- 46:15Speaker 1: man and all of a sudden, The Patriots game comes
- 46:21Speaker 1: most to mind. That's what I'm thinking about. All of
- 46:23Speaker 1: a sudden, Blake's running and you and and You've got
- 46:25Speaker 1: defenders turned around, turned around downfield, and he's running for
- 46:28Speaker 1: twenty yards easily. That's the danger of playing man against
- 46:31Speaker 1: mobile quarterbacks. That's I'm assuming that's what they're staying away from.
- 46:36Speaker 1: But um, well, I thought Jalen's answered last week. You
- 46:39Speaker 1: remember he was questioned about Stefan Gilmour's comments about him. Um,
- 46:43Speaker 1: and he was so comfortable saying, I'll play whatever they
- 46:45Speaker 1: want me to play. You know, he has been so
- 46:48Speaker 1: insightful the last couple of weeks, where you thought he
- 46:52Speaker 1: might be I N C I T E F U
- 46:55Speaker 1: L right, he might he might be hot under the
- 46:57Speaker 1: collar about playing so much zone. Um, but he's been
- 47:01Speaker 1: very insightful in showing people why this team does play
- 47:05Speaker 1: zone at times if they know they have to do it.
- 47:07Speaker 1: It seemed like, I mean, it's been well documented his
- 47:12Speaker 1: one word answer press conference. Uh after the game, they say, Um,
- 47:17Speaker 1: I'm sure after a game like that where they played
- 47:20Speaker 1: a lot of his own, the defenders were likely not
- 47:23Speaker 1: happy about. I don't I don't put words in Jalen's
- 47:25Speaker 1: mouth because I have no idea what he was thinking.
- 47:27Speaker 1: But I'm sure they were likely not happy, because you're
- 47:30Speaker 1: never happy after a forty seven loss. Uh. If if
- 47:34Speaker 1: that's what he was thinking, good job holding his tongue
- 47:36Speaker 1: yesterday and not bring it out in the open. Uh.
- 47:39Speaker 1: But something's got to give defensively. That's not a great answer,
- 47:45Speaker 1: but something's got to change, and they've got to get
- 47:47Speaker 1: back to where they all like what's going on. The
- 47:49Speaker 1: light may not go off in Todd Walsher's office all week,
- 47:52Speaker 1: not all week. He's got a long week ahead, that's
- 47:55Speaker 1: for sure. All Right, let's go to Jordan from jacksonvill
- 47:57Speaker 1: to wrap it up. I know this will come off
- 47:58Speaker 1: as a hot take or way too early, but I
- 48:01Speaker 1: honestly have a feeling that the window has closed. But
- 48:03Speaker 1: this Jaguars team to make a run for the Super Bowl.
- 48:06Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong. You know, I don't know. It's
- 48:11Speaker 1: always hard to figure out what the window is, and
- 48:13Speaker 1: you don't really know until it until you look back
- 48:17Speaker 1: on it. Um. I don't necessarily believe this because I
- 48:22Speaker 1: feel like there is a core of young players who
- 48:26Speaker 1: are going to be good for this team for a
- 48:28Speaker 1: long time. So the NFL is always changing. As we saw,
- 48:33Speaker 1: we all talked about a window in the off season,
- 48:34Speaker 1: and injuries have cracked that window this year. I guess
- 48:39Speaker 1: I just don't know how to answer the window question yet.
- 48:41Speaker 1: As much as I think this year is not so
- 48:43Speaker 1: much about the window closing as it has been about
- 48:46Speaker 1: injuries taking a okay offense way way down and now
- 48:51Speaker 1: you've got to figure out how to get this defense right. Well,
- 48:53Speaker 1: if there's a window, it's it's on the defensive side
- 48:55Speaker 1: of the ball. We know that because of the shalary
- 48:57Speaker 1: cap and how much money they have set up front, um,
- 49:01Speaker 1: And we know the defense doesn't stay together very long.
- 49:03Speaker 1: You know, offense generally does in the sense that if
- 49:06Speaker 1: you have that great quarterback, it holds it together. And mean,
- 49:09Speaker 1: you look at the Tom Brady's of the world, those
- 49:10Speaker 1: quarterbacks that Drew Brees, they bring in talent around them
- 49:14Speaker 1: and they hold the window open all by themselves. But
- 49:17Speaker 1: on defense when you're you're gonna lose a couple of
- 49:19Speaker 1: guys next year, and you've got to be able to
- 49:20Speaker 1: replace guys who have been impactful. Forget yesterday where it
- 49:24Speaker 1: appeared nobody was all that impactful when the game was
- 49:26Speaker 1: on the line. But you know that the Marcel Darius
- 49:28Speaker 1: is in the Calais Campbell's and Malice Jackson and Dante Fowler.
- 49:32Speaker 1: I mean, all these guys you still gotta pay. Remember
- 49:35Speaker 1: you gotta playing on rookie contracts, Unique and Gonqway, Miles
- 49:38Speaker 1: jack and Jalen Ramsey. That's the bad news. The good
- 49:41Speaker 1: news is you have a Pro Bowl caliber player on
- 49:46Speaker 1: every level going forward. So this should enable the defense
- 49:50Speaker 1: maybe not to be this dominant as right, what is dominant?
- 49:54Speaker 1: But the things you talked about, Brian, what you just
- 49:56Speaker 1: talked about is rare go ahead. Well, I guess what
- 49:59Speaker 1: I was going to say is is that, yes, the
- 50:00Speaker 1: window for this defense in its current incarnation, it probably
- 50:05Speaker 1: closes this year. I don't know what Dave Coldwell's plan is. However,
- 50:09Speaker 1: you have to be able to think logically about the
- 50:11Speaker 1: salary cabin and where the money has to get spent. Yeah,
- 50:14Speaker 1: that window probably closes but you still have other windows
- 50:17Speaker 1: you can open because of the talent that's on this roster.
- 50:20Speaker 1: And I know no one wants to hear that this morning,
- 50:23Speaker 1: because it didn't look like there was any talent on
- 50:25Speaker 1: the roster yesterday. But we all know that not Pro
- 50:29Speaker 1: Bowl caliber. You have all Pro talent and it's not
- 50:32Speaker 1: just those three. Don't forget what you have in um
- 50:38Speaker 1: Telvin Smith, who's an All Pro caliber player, second team
- 50:41Speaker 1: but all Pro caliber player. You've got a young guy
- 50:43Speaker 1: and Tavin Bryant. Ronnie Harrison looks like he's going to
- 50:46Speaker 1: be You've got pieces in place. That's on the defensive side.
- 50:50Speaker 1: Now on the offensive side, it's a whole another story.
- 50:52Speaker 1: But the windows not closed. If if you're thinking and
- 50:57Speaker 1: planning to pay the play is that you mentioned in
- 51:01Speaker 1: Gockway Ramsey Jack, aren't you Yes, If you're thinking about
- 51:07Speaker 1: paying them so much that you lose other people, which
- 51:14Speaker 1: is the case, then you're assuming that they're good enough
- 51:18Speaker 1: to keep your window open. It's a circle of life
- 51:21Speaker 1: in the NF. It happens. All right, We'll take a break,
- 51:24Speaker 1: come back with some NFL headlines from yesterday, and wrap
- 51:27Speaker 1: up a Monday morning show on a great morning here

- 53:31Speaker 1: the world works, folks. Um uniquleading the way, two sacks,
- 53:35Speaker 1: nearly a third. Someone else? Do I want to know
- 53:39Speaker 1: who someone else is? There's that someone else's just full
- 53:42Speaker 1: of a witty banter? Can I save one? You say?
- 53:46Speaker 1: As many as you want. The bus driver that took

- 53:56Speaker 1: I wouldn't give him my vote. This guy would the
- 53:59Speaker 1: guy wasn't bustle ride. You must not have been sitting
- 54:02Speaker 1: up front by me. It was a white knuckle ride. Okay.
- 54:05Speaker 1: Headlines from around the NFL. Uh, This first one is
- 54:08Speaker 1: sort of a statement. Uh, that says Ravens there are
- 54:11Speaker 1: eleven s is one for each of the eleven sacks
- 54:15Speaker 1: that they put on the Titans yesterday. Now, but we
- 54:19Speaker 1: talk about the Jaguars defensive line getting whipped. That is
- 54:22Speaker 1: a pretty good Titans offensive line. Eleven sacks, which is
- 54:28Speaker 1: the second most in NFL history. Ravens their new Twitter
- 54:32Speaker 1: handle clever. You won't see much about Saxonville these days,
- 54:37Speaker 1: and it does. It has raised legitimate question of the
- 54:42Speaker 1: Ravens can do it. Why can't saxon them? We'll see,
- 54:45Speaker 1: because they can't pressure against Tennessee like that. Next headline, Um,
- 54:52Speaker 1: it's something how Davis used to say, the quarterback must
- 54:54Speaker 1: go down and the long coat must come out. Ryan
- 54:57Speaker 1: long coat being the cold weather gear that they they
- 55:00Speaker 1: wear late in the season. So that's Josh Allen sitting
- 55:03Speaker 1: on the ground yesterday with an elbow injury. Uh. Nathan
- 55:06Speaker 1: Peterman comes in and helps them take the lead late
- 55:09Speaker 1: in the game, but then with a chance. The game
- 55:11Speaker 1: is tied with two minutes to play, he throws a pick.
- 55:14Speaker 1: Pick six, goes back, Houston takes the lead. They get
- 55:17Speaker 1: one more opportunity, throws another interception. Um, Buffalo had done
- 55:22Speaker 1: some nice things the last couple of weeks, you know,
- 55:25Speaker 1: the big win in Minnesota. Obviously they had a chance
- 55:27Speaker 1: to make to get back in that game. Absolutely, And um,
- 55:31Speaker 1: if you're playing Nathan Peterman instead of Alan Josh Allen,
- 55:35Speaker 1: that's problem. And wrap it up with a really nice note.
- 55:40Speaker 1: That's Ryan Shazier, who was nearly a year ago was
- 55:43Speaker 1: injured in the Steelers game in Cincinnati. He walked out
- 55:47Speaker 1: onto the field yesterday. His team won a huge game
- 55:51Speaker 1: in the a f C North, and afterwards all anyone
- 55:55Speaker 1: wanted to talk about was what it meant to see
- 55:57Speaker 1: him on the field. Andy Dalton, the Bengal quarterback, nearly
- 56:01Speaker 1: ran to him after the game. The Bengals players, UH,
- 56:04Speaker 1: players in general, it didn't matter who they were playing. Uh,
- 56:07Speaker 1: to see a guy like that, a great player who
- 56:11Speaker 1: went through that sort of an injury, to see him
- 56:13Speaker 1: walk onto the field makes them all feel good. We
- 56:16Speaker 1: can all use a little that this morning. Yes, all
- 56:18Speaker 1: competitive goes aside. You can all root for him, Okay.
- 56:20Speaker 1: A couple of notes uh Calais Campbell at Mellow Mushroom
- 56:24Speaker 1: tonight and Yanke and dock Way will be his guest. Uh.
- 56:28Speaker 1: Doug Marone talks at five o'clock this evening, and imagine
- 56:33Speaker 1: that you'll hear that during Happy Hour with JP and
- 56:36Speaker 1: the crew and the Jaguars at three and three sit
- 56:39Speaker 1: in the a f C South in a first place tie.
- 56:42Speaker 1: So we'll see how they can reshape things this week
- 56:45Speaker 1: from a game planned perspective. UM, My lasting image from
- 56:50Speaker 1: the locker room last night was Klais Campbell and the
- 56:54Speaker 1: intensity and yet I don't know how to describe it.
- 56:59Speaker 1: I mean, it was almost as if he was willing
- 57:00Speaker 1: his teammates to feel the same way that he did.
- 57:03Speaker 1: He's got a lot to get done this week. This
- 57:05Speaker 1: will be a busy week, a big week, alright. So
- 57:07Speaker 1: for Joe Fortunato and Hollywood Hawkman, we'll wrap it up
- 57:10Speaker 1: and say, don't forget Drive time at four o'clock, all
- 57:13Speaker 1: Access at seven, have a great day, everybody.
