- 1:02Speaker 1: got a lot to cover today, Ashland, A lot to cover,
- 1:05Speaker 1: A very I thought, I don't know what's the right word. Um, transparent,
- 1:11Speaker 1: That's that's not the right word. Profound, um, poignant, I
- 1:15Speaker 1: mean it. Doug Moron was maybe his best yesterday when
- 1:20Speaker 1: things were the most difficult for him and his football team,
- 1:22Speaker 1: coming off of Sunday's epic lost. I mean it was
- 1:25Speaker 1: an epic loss. Was the kind of well, let's be honest,
- 1:29Speaker 1: he says, asp eating uh. And it still feels that
- 1:32Speaker 1: way in this building. People are still stinging from what
- 1:35Speaker 1: Sunday was. They're not gonna hang on it too long, um,
- 1:38Speaker 1: but they're not gonna let go of it too quickly. On.
- 1:40Speaker 1: That's what it was. That's absolutely what it was. It
- 1:41Speaker 1: was impressed that I I thought how dug rown handle himself.
- 1:44Speaker 1: He came right out stated the problems, didn't sugarcoat anything,
- 1:47Speaker 1: and said, this is what we're gonna do. This is
- 1:48Speaker 1: how we're gonna try to fix it. Well. And you
- 1:50Speaker 1: know a lot of times, guys will I say, guys, coaches,
- 1:53Speaker 1: we'll get to the microphone on Monday afternoon. They will
- 1:56Speaker 1: have chewed on it. They will have been mad, they
- 1:58Speaker 1: will have been despond indented times thinking you know what happened?
- 2:01Speaker 1: How do we get this way? Do not work hard enough?
- 2:04Speaker 1: They would have thought through it, and then they'll start
- 2:05Speaker 1: to be defensive. Right, they'll defend their guys. They'll get
- 2:08Speaker 1: defensive of their program. You understand why, right, The pressure,
- 2:11Speaker 1: the money, everything that's involved in this game. Um, but
- 2:14Speaker 1: not Doue and and from his first press conference as
- 2:17Speaker 1: the head coach where it was pretty clear that he
- 2:19Speaker 1: thinks differently than a lot of people, that the things
- 2:22Speaker 1: that are really important to him are maybe different than
- 2:25Speaker 1: a lot of other head coaches in this game. Um,
- 2:28Speaker 1: yesterday I watched it once live and then went back
- 2:31Speaker 1: and watched it twice just to watch his body language
- 2:33Speaker 1: and the posture that he had, and I thought, he
- 2:37Speaker 1: wasn't that much different than we were standing around were
- 2:39Speaker 1: waiting to get on the airplane or in here yesterday
- 2:42Speaker 1: talking about what are shows were gonna be like? He
- 2:44Speaker 1: was just completely candid yep. And he had the perfect
- 2:47Speaker 1: opportunity to make excuses when asked about the injuries. They
- 2:50Speaker 1: were asked, you know your offense is dealing with so
- 2:51Speaker 1: many injuries. Is that why your team is struggling? And
- 2:54Speaker 1: he said, well, yeah, we have a lot of injuries,
- 2:55Speaker 1: but no, there's bigger problems than that. To the perfect
- 2:58Speaker 1: opportunity to make excuses and say, yeah, we're dealing with
- 3:00Speaker 1: a lot of injuries and stinks and it's not just us.
- 3:03Speaker 1: I mean, right, So I walked into the gym this
- 3:05Speaker 1: morning and the guys that I work out with and say, what,
- 3:08Speaker 1: you know, what happened? He's asking those same questions, and
- 3:11Speaker 1: he obviously has a more focused viewpoint than the people
- 3:15Speaker 1: that I was, we would hope. So yeah, absolutely, And
- 3:18Speaker 1: I kind of walked in with my head down thinking
- 3:19Speaker 1: and here it comes, right, same thing you go to,
- 3:21Speaker 1: you know, public and someone's gonna say, hey, hey, hold
- 3:24Speaker 1: on right. You know he's he can insulate himself from
- 3:27Speaker 1: that to a degree, but at some point he has
- 3:29Speaker 1: to lift his team and his coaching staff in particular,
- 3:32Speaker 1: because you want to. If he's feeling it and the
- 3:34Speaker 1: players are feeling it, the coaches are too, because it's
- 3:37Speaker 1: their job to have their guys ready to make the
- 3:41Speaker 1: right moves to get in the right place on coverage,
- 3:44Speaker 1: especially on defense. I mean, if you're the linebackers coach
- 3:47Speaker 1: or the secondary coach today, I mean you are still
- 3:50Speaker 1: wondering what in the world were they thinking, which is,
- 3:53Speaker 1: by the way, what the players were staying in the
- 3:54Speaker 1: locker room yesterday. Right. Yet you're going into immense detail
- 3:57Speaker 1: this week, breaking down every single player, looking at what
- 4:00Speaker 1: went wrong each play, trying to fix it. All right, Well,
- 4:02Speaker 1: let's dive in big things, all right. Big thing one
- 4:04Speaker 1: is deepfense, so we know that they have the talent.
- 4:06Speaker 1: It was the miscommunication in the confusion that we saw
- 4:09Speaker 1: as the issue. Maron says, there's a bigger issue to fix.
- 4:12Speaker 1: At this point. We're ranked thirty second in turnover ratio,
- 4:16Speaker 1: So forget about all the other stuff, you know what
- 4:20Speaker 1: I'm saying until we get that right, because if you
- 4:23Speaker 1: don't get that right and you stay where you are,
- 4:25Speaker 1: you're not gonna win. So that's the first thing that
- 4:29Speaker 1: we talked about. So the pressure hasn't been good enough.
- 4:34Speaker 1: The takeaways haven't been there. Uh and the touchdowns we
- 4:38Speaker 1: saw six in the regular season and the one in
- 4:40Speaker 1: Pittsburgh in the playoffs should have been eight. Right, but
- 4:44Speaker 1: we saw play that last year was a consistent effort
- 4:47Speaker 1: from this defense and we're not seeing it now. The
- 4:49Speaker 1: interesting part is the pieces are still in place. So
- 4:55Speaker 1: as much as we can talk about the offense, and
- 4:56Speaker 1: we will. You know, what are you gonna do with
- 4:58Speaker 1: left tackle? How are you going to compensate for the
- 5:00Speaker 1: loss of your You know, your big I want a
- 5:03Speaker 1: blocking tight end because he can block. But your steam
- 5:06Speaker 1: route guy, your guy who makes the running game go.
- 5:07Speaker 1: How you gonna compensate for that? Is Leonard back? What
- 5:10Speaker 1: are you gonna do to make the offense more effective.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Um on defense. You know, maybe I'm wrong. I just
- 5:17Speaker 1: expect this week they're gonna play a whole lot better.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Now you can be out there watching and say, yeah, no,
- 5:22Speaker 1: Dush Sexton. You know you can't play that bad. You know,
- 5:26Speaker 1: two weeks in a row, can you? And you know what,
- 5:28Speaker 1: you look at the numbers. They fell down twenty to
- 5:30Speaker 1: nothing in Kansas City and twenty four and nothing in Dallas.
- 5:32Speaker 1: But they were two completely different games, especially the way
- 5:35Speaker 1: that the defense in the second quarter found a rhythm,
- 5:39Speaker 1: found a system, figured out how to stop the Chiefs.
- 5:41Speaker 1: They never figured out until the first half was over
- 5:45Speaker 1: how to counter what they were doing. Uh with the
- 5:48Speaker 1: Cowboys on staying so completely different games. Sunday was a
- 5:52Speaker 1: brain fart proportions. Whether it was Miles Jack, whether it
- 5:58Speaker 1: was to Shaun Gibson who was in the locker us
- 6:00Speaker 1: today and I wrote this down, Uh never seen nothing
- 6:03Speaker 1: like it, Okay, and and and the rest of that
- 6:07Speaker 1: the quote, you know, his comment was, you know, guys,
- 6:09Speaker 1: frontline guys that we rely on around here who don't
- 6:13Speaker 1: make those kind of mistakes, We're making them all over
- 6:15Speaker 1: the field. Um MC Miles Jack played that poorly. And
- 6:19Speaker 1: he sat lower after the game. Yeah, and we've talked
- 6:21Speaker 1: about how well he's played this entire season. Your bet
- 6:23Speaker 1: A J. Boyer had mistakes, Barry Church had mistakes, Kelvin
- 6:28Speaker 1: Smith had mistakes. You just don't expect it from a
- 6:33Speaker 1: team who beats their chest where the best. Enough, go
- 6:39Speaker 1: back and play. Stop trying to convince yourselves or everyone
- 6:43Speaker 1: else that you're the best. You did it last year
- 6:46Speaker 1: with your play. It's time to shut up and just
- 6:48Speaker 1: do it with your play. You don't need to stand
- 6:50Speaker 1: down there at the podium on Wednesday or Thursday say
- 6:52Speaker 1: we're the best. Don't forget. Hey, everyone's forgot at this
- 6:55Speaker 1: point after seventy points the last two weeks. Just go play.
- 6:59Speaker 1: If the eyes who are here, just go play. And
- 7:03Speaker 1: Clays Campbell said in the locker room afterwards he expected
- 7:05Speaker 1: that's exactly what they would do, right to Shaun Gibson
- 7:08Speaker 1: yesterday said too much to his credit, Hey, we keep
- 7:10Speaker 1: talking about being the best, We're not. Where is it? Right?
- 7:14Speaker 1: So enough of this elite, enough of this the best
- 7:18Speaker 1: defense in the league. And Rex Ryan, now, I mean
- 7:21Speaker 1: Rex Ryan is a bit of a clown, right, but
- 7:23Speaker 1: he he knows football. He really knows football, and yesterday
- 7:26Speaker 1: on ESPN he was talking about, hey, this is you know,
- 7:29Speaker 1: this defense is vastly overrated. Okay, so hopefully that sharpens
- 7:33Speaker 1: the edge for this guy. You know this, this group
- 7:34Speaker 1: of guys brings them back to the chip on the
- 7:36Speaker 1: shoulder thing. Stop with the best because you're not right
- 7:40Speaker 1: now and just go play. The guys on the defensive
- 7:42Speaker 1: side of the ball are there. The scheme is there,
- 7:46Speaker 1: The coaching that built them up is the same. Go execute.
- 7:51Speaker 1: If you want my opinion, if you don't already know,
- 7:54Speaker 1: all this talk and all this chest beating and all
- 7:56Speaker 1: this swagger, it means nothing. It means offen. In fact,
- 8:01Speaker 1: I think it's to their detriment. I think they you
- 8:04Speaker 1: can expect yourself to play well right. You can talk
- 8:07Speaker 1: the talk and I'm from Missouri to show me stay right.
- 8:09Speaker 1: But if you don't show it, and they haven't the
- 8:12Speaker 1: last two weeks, primarily again I said separate Kandascy because
- 8:15Speaker 1: it's a different game. It was dreadful, dreadful, preposterous for
- 8:21Speaker 1: a team that thinks that has the kind of talent
- 8:24Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. But again, you can
- 8:27Speaker 1: fix it, and I think that they will this week. Yeah,
- 8:29Speaker 1: you go back to Rex Ryan's comments and he's saying
- 8:31Speaker 1: that this defense is overrated, and he has every right
- 8:33Speaker 1: to say that because the past two weeks they've looked
- 8:35Speaker 1: like it. So they're going to be upset. And sorry,
- 8:39Speaker 1: the Jacksonville media is gonna say, oh my gosh, how
- 8:41Speaker 1: could you say that? But when you look at the
- 8:42Speaker 1: past two weeks, how can he not well? And here's
- 8:45Speaker 1: why I'm optimistic this week. But besides the fact that
- 8:47Speaker 1: there is a very very large amount of pride on
- 8:52Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, and from guys who
- 8:55Speaker 1: don't do a lot of the talking right well a
- 8:59Speaker 1: j Boyer buried Church. I mean, these are not talkers.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Even Miles he gets chippy during a game, but he's
- 9:04Speaker 1: not the guy that stands in the locker room. And
- 9:06Speaker 1: I mean these guys I expect them. Plus I mean
- 9:10Speaker 1: Jalen in the in the locker room afterwards was the
- 9:12Speaker 1: first one to say we got our butt speed right um.
- 9:15Speaker 1: And to Shaun, who is a talker to the point
- 9:17Speaker 1: that I wanted to stop talking right uh yesterday said
- 9:20Speaker 1: all the right things. So combine that with the fact
- 9:23Speaker 1: that you have an offensive line that last year against
- 9:26Speaker 1: these Jaguars gave up ten sacks um and he's worse
- 9:29Speaker 1: than than last year's offensive line. Worse. Uh. DeShawn Watson
- 9:33Speaker 1: has been hit sixty six times in six games, eleven
- 9:38Speaker 1: quarterback hits a game on average. Wow, give me, and
- 9:42Speaker 1: he's been sacked twenty five times. This defensive line, playing
- 9:45Speaker 1: with pride, should be able to get in and attack
- 9:49Speaker 1: and bring the defense back to the level of playmaking defense.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Right play. We haven't seen that in weeks. It seems
- 9:57Speaker 1: like years ago that Pai Chriots game, doesn't it The
- 10:02Speaker 1: playmaking thing was they win the game against the Titans
- 10:06Speaker 1: if they don't knock gabbed out and get the penalt right, Um,
- 10:10Speaker 1: we haven't seen it. We haven't seen that dominant effort
- 10:12Speaker 1: the Jets, right Uh. But so come on, guys, Yeah,
- 10:18Speaker 1: this is the week. You have the perfect opponent for it,
- 10:20Speaker 1: and I do think they're gonna work really hard on
- 10:21Speaker 1: the miscommunication issues to speak, a lot of meetings, a
- 10:24Speaker 1: lot of player only meetings. This is the week to
- 10:26Speaker 1: fix it. A lot of pride, a lot of prideful guys,
- 10:29Speaker 1: a lot of players. You can fix the defense this week.
- 10:33Speaker 1: You can get this one back to where it belongs
- 10:36Speaker 1: because it is the more yeah, yeah, you're going there.
- 10:43Speaker 1: It's the most talented defense in football when you look
- 10:46Speaker 1: at the guys who are on it right roster breakdown,
- 10:49Speaker 1: position by position. But it's talented, right, But paper and
- 10:52Speaker 1: performance are different things entirely. In order to really say it,
- 10:56Speaker 1: to look into camera and say it, you know, boldly,
- 11:00Speaker 1: they gotta go do it this week right and turn
- 11:01Speaker 1: it around this week. Very church post game, I thought
- 11:04Speaker 1: was great. You know, he said, you can have all
- 11:05Speaker 1: the talent you want on this defense. And they do
- 11:07Speaker 1: have a ton of talent. If they can't play like
- 11:09Speaker 1: one unit and they can't communicate and they don't know
- 11:11Speaker 1: what the other person is doing, it doesn't matter how talented.
- 11:14Speaker 1: And by the way, I had no answers, have had
- 11:16Speaker 1: no answers for people who have asked me what happened, right,
- 11:22Speaker 1: because when I've asked people in this building, they're like,
- 11:24Speaker 1: I don't know, how do we explain that? Right? These
- 11:27Speaker 1: are guys who are doing what they don't ever do.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Make mental error after mental error, no explanation for it.
- 11:34Speaker 1: Expectation is that it's gone this week. The expectation knowing
- 11:38Speaker 1: the players, knowing the coaches expectation is is that next
- 11:41Speaker 1: week we'll be talking about there's the defense, that's an
- 11:45Speaker 1: elite defense. They went and fixed the errors and came
- 11:48Speaker 1: back this week. That's what you hope. We'll say it
- 11:50Speaker 1: for you, guys. Don't have to say it. Play like it.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Play like it all right. Now to the more difficult
- 11:55Speaker 1: side of the ball. Yes, big thing too is offense.
- 11:58Speaker 1: We know do they not have much talent on the
- 12:00Speaker 1: roster as the defense. They have offensive line problems, running
- 12:03Speaker 1: back problems, the quarterback. He didn't play at a high level.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Maron says, there's a certain way to handle this adversity.
- 12:10Speaker 1: The message to the team was, hey, how do you
- 12:12Speaker 1: handle this? Okay, is either going to be our road
- 12:16Speaker 1: to or a map to handle success and future adversity,
- 12:22Speaker 1: or it's gonna be a long ash year and we're
- 12:25Speaker 1: all going to kick ourselves in ass. Well you put
- 12:28Speaker 1: it like that. It's pretty blunt. Again, that's what we
- 12:31Speaker 1: love about him and and they were kicking themselves in
- 12:34Speaker 1: the ass yesterday. They on the plane right home. Uh
- 12:38Speaker 1: you know yesterday in the locker room. They will be today,
- 12:40Speaker 1: which is the player's day off. I imagine we'll see
- 12:42Speaker 1: quite a few of them in here trying to get
- 12:45Speaker 1: that extra work in. Um. Doug also talked about, you know,
- 12:48Speaker 1: the only way to do it is to go work harder.
- 12:51Speaker 1: I've never thought effort was this team's problem. Absolutely never
- 12:56Speaker 1: watched this team actually on the practice field. And granted
- 13:00Speaker 1: we only see the first twenty minutes of practice and
- 13:02Speaker 1: we see warmups and individuals. We don't see team drills
- 13:05Speaker 1: were escorted off the field at that point. So maybe
- 13:07Speaker 1: there are moments, but know when the guys in the
- 13:09Speaker 1: locker room and knowing the pride that they play with,
- 13:12Speaker 1: I've never thought if it was the problem, um, work harder,
- 13:15Speaker 1: work smarter. Maybe work smarter is the way. So that's
- 13:18Speaker 1: where the film room comes in. That's where you communicate
- 13:22Speaker 1: in the film room. Right, Hey, what about this? What
- 13:24Speaker 1: about that guys getting extra work in there, extra time
- 13:28Speaker 1: perhaps with the physical therapy team, extra time with you know, massage,
- 13:33Speaker 1: with whatever it is, whatever it is, work smarter to
- 13:37Speaker 1: get things done. Now to the offense. This is the
- 13:41Speaker 1: troubling part when you think about the fact that we
- 13:44Speaker 1: have not seen the offense that we thought we were
- 13:46Speaker 1: going to see this year. Right, We've talked about it
- 13:48Speaker 1: at nausea, but we'll get it again. The Atlanta game,
- 13:51Speaker 1: eleven different guys and I know it was the preseason,
- 13:53Speaker 1: but eleven different guys touched the ball. That's what we thought.
- 13:56Speaker 1: We would see. Five six receivers, including tight ends, to
- 14:00Speaker 1: three backs. There would be just a there's not a
- 14:03Speaker 1: lot of star power on the offense, but there were
- 14:05Speaker 1: really good, solid players that put in a position, would
- 14:09Speaker 1: be able to play the two back set. It was
- 14:11Speaker 1: gone the minute that Leonard got hurt. Right now, it's
- 14:13Speaker 1: gone because Corey has done for the season and you
- 14:15Speaker 1: don't have that explosive guy. They are down two left tackles,
- 14:20Speaker 1: they are down two tight ends. Now with Niles Paul's injury.
- 14:24Speaker 1: They are down two running backs. Two of those three
- 14:27Speaker 1: are done. Well, I shouldn't say done. We expect to
- 14:29Speaker 1: see Leonard for at back. One is done. One. We
- 14:33Speaker 1: just yeah, can you come and play two weeks in
- 14:36Speaker 1: a row. Can you play two quarters in a row?
- 14:37Speaker 1: Which we haven't seen from him this season? Right, two quarterbacks, party,
- 14:42Speaker 1: two tackles to running backs, two tight ends. They're down
- 14:45Speaker 1: that at this point. So and the offensive line has
- 14:51Speaker 1: had every they're starting guy on the injury report. Every
- 14:57Speaker 1: guy has missed a day of practice a week, and
- 14:59Speaker 1: when you have that, it all adds up. One guy,
- 15:02Speaker 1: two guys might be out on Wednesday, one guy might
- 15:04Speaker 1: be it on Thursday. One guy might not practice Friday.
- 15:06Speaker 1: That adds up. There are a few players in this
- 15:09Speaker 1: league who can not practice on Wednesday and Thursday, the
- 15:12Speaker 1: big days when the most work gets done. I expect
- 15:15Speaker 1: to play their best and with a line where and
- 15:17Speaker 1: you heard coach when he was in here for coffee
- 15:19Speaker 1: with the coach on Friday. That's the unit that has
- 15:22Speaker 1: to work together. That's communication. You if you don't have
- 15:26Speaker 1: those guys working together, and they can be in the
- 15:28Speaker 1: meeting room and get something done, but you've got to
- 15:29Speaker 1: get it done out in the field, right you communicate
- 15:31Speaker 1: on the practice here you're scratching your head. How do
- 15:33Speaker 1: we fix that this week? Because the quarterback hasn't played great? Okay,
- 15:37Speaker 1: but he hasn't played as bad as people think he has. No,
- 15:39Speaker 1: he hadn't the time, he hasn't had weapons. We barely
- 15:42Speaker 1: even talked about him against the Cowboys, and that shows
- 15:45Speaker 1: how many other problems were present at that time. The
- 15:48Speaker 1: throw that was intercepted on was also the throw that
- 15:51Speaker 1: he made the touchdown to d D. Westbrook on the
- 15:54Speaker 1: defensive back stepped in and made a play. There wasn't
- 15:57Speaker 1: enough room. It wasn't great throw the best, probably not,
- 16:01Speaker 1: but they were trying to get the same play and
- 16:02Speaker 1: they were down in the ball game, so you kind
- 16:04Speaker 1: of understand that more. There were no turnovers in the
- 16:06Speaker 1: first half when the game was on the line, right,
- 16:09Speaker 1: he was not making those mistakes. Um, he has not
- 16:13Speaker 1: been good the last two weeks. He's capable of being good,
- 16:17Speaker 1: but he needs everyone around him, don't we know. That's
- 16:19Speaker 1: what Blake Bortles is. John and I have talked at
- 16:22Speaker 1: nauseum and we've argued for the fact that he's better
- 16:25Speaker 1: than a lot of his critics think that he is.
- 16:27Speaker 1: But he's not good enough to do what Aaron Rodgers
- 16:30Speaker 1: did last night, which is carry the team by himself.
- 16:33Speaker 1: That's not news. That's not him, right, That's not what
- 16:36Speaker 1: we expect him to be able to do. So here's
- 16:39Speaker 1: one more thought. And again, he's got a proven in
- 16:42Speaker 1: the practice because I ask Jeff log him in this
- 16:44Speaker 1: as Doug Moro in this talked to various coaches. Josh
- 16:47Speaker 1: Walker is a journeyman. Josh as your starting left tackle. Now,
- 16:53Speaker 1: you went and signed Eric Flowers, who was cut from
- 16:57Speaker 1: the Giants ninth pick of the draft a few years ago,
- 16:59Speaker 1: play with Brandon Linder at Miami. You'd really like to
- 17:02Speaker 1: see him come out this week and have a good
- 17:04Speaker 1: week's practice and and really make the coaches think should
- 17:08Speaker 1: we put him in? Because he's got to earn it.
- 17:10Speaker 1: You can't just plug him in. He's got to go
- 17:12Speaker 1: earn it this week. Can you reach the guy who
- 17:14Speaker 1: apparently was unreachable, who the Giants just couldn't quite figure
- 17:18Speaker 1: out how to get to him. Can you find a
- 17:20Speaker 1: way to get that back, that big body on the
- 17:22Speaker 1: on the field. Can you find a way to get
- 17:24Speaker 1: into play at a level where he can help you?
- 17:26Speaker 1: Because jadeveon clowney, he loves to line up on that side, right,
- 17:30Speaker 1: and you don't have a s J. And you don't
- 17:32Speaker 1: have Cam Robinson over there, oh right, that can be
- 17:37Speaker 1: a problem. You don't have Andrew Normal who's playing all
- 17:39Speaker 1: that well, who's a percent healthy? Right, You need to
- 17:43Speaker 1: see if you can find a way to work Eric
- 17:46Speaker 1: Flowers on nothing against Josh Walker. There's lots of guys
- 17:48Speaker 1: who find their way into the lineup because of injuries.
- 17:53Speaker 1: He's not a tackle. He's not a tackle. He's not
- 17:56Speaker 1: a tackle. So Eric Flowers hopefully this week as a
- 18:00Speaker 1: much more impactful week. So to recap, Big thing, wanted,
- 18:03Speaker 1: Big thing too, Big thing. One expect the defense to
- 18:06Speaker 1: play a whole lot better. They can play better. They've
- 18:09Speaker 1: got their horses, they can run the race. Offense, what
- 18:12Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Right? What does for net come back?
- 18:15Speaker 1: And I think that he does this week just just
- 18:17Speaker 1: just the feeling getting around the building. Is the expectation
- 18:20Speaker 1: is after running yesterday that he should be able to
- 18:24Speaker 1: play practice on Wednesday, and then it's how does he
- 18:27Speaker 1: feel Thursday, Friday? Right, you get him back? Not to
- 18:29Speaker 1: lay it all on him, but we know what a
- 18:31Speaker 1: feature back means. Right. And we were talking about the
- 18:34Speaker 1: Atlanta game and John I actually talked about this yesterday
- 18:37Speaker 1: on Zone. But's the defense. The opposing defense can't really
- 18:40Speaker 1: plan for this offense in Atlanta. The Lemon guys touch
- 18:43Speaker 1: the ball, how do you plan against it? Now? With
- 18:45Speaker 1: t J. Elden, you know he's not the feature back, right,
- 18:49Speaker 1: Jamal Charles now has to become a complimentary back up.
- 18:51Speaker 1: The keyword with the offense complimentary. There are complimentary players everywhere,
- 18:55Speaker 1: but if you're going to have that kind of an
- 18:57Speaker 1: offense where it's not star laden, then recomplementary player has
- 19:01Speaker 1: to complement the other guy together. Absolutely, you've got to
- 19:04Speaker 1: find a way because this defense coming in has a
- 19:06Speaker 1: lot of confidence. Now we should note and we will
- 19:08Speaker 1: because we're moving to the ex South, So let's just
- 19:10Speaker 1: go there and I'll note it in there. Big thing
- 19:12Speaker 1: three is the a f C. So out the importance
- 19:14Speaker 1: of this week. We talked about it when we enter
- 19:16Speaker 1: in October that this is gonna be the most important
- 19:19Speaker 1: game of the month. And that was before Kansas City,
- 19:21Speaker 1: that was before Dallas, that was before we saw this
- 19:23Speaker 1: team breakdown in those losses. So now this week it's
- 19:26Speaker 1: even more important than we expect it to be. So
- 19:29Speaker 1: here's what's on the table this week. Go reclaim your
- 19:32Speaker 1: home field. Okay, go play well. Beat the Texans. The
- 19:35Speaker 1: Texans have won three in a row after starting three
- 19:38Speaker 1: coming in a hot team, but their secondary is banged
- 19:42Speaker 1: up there down Aaron Colvin and Kevin Johnson. They also
- 19:45Speaker 1: had a young rookie who was contributing to nickel Uh
- 19:47Speaker 1: and he's done right. So they're relying on their guys
- 19:50Speaker 1: up front, who were really you can rely on them,
- 19:52Speaker 1: You can really rely them go get the win. You
- 19:54Speaker 1: with the Titans, who gave up eleven zacks. As good
- 19:58Speaker 1: as this defense was last year, they never even came
- 20:02Speaker 1: close to that against the Titans offensive line never even
- 20:05Speaker 1: came close. So the Titans are hurting too. They got
- 20:08Speaker 1: shut out at home. They're not going to London where
- 20:10Speaker 1: they've never played. We all know the advantage if you've
- 20:13Speaker 1: ever played there. These Chargers have played there. Okay, So
- 20:16Speaker 1: if if you beat the Texans and the Chargers beat
- 20:20Speaker 1: the Titans, which I expect to happen, the Chargers are
- 20:23Speaker 1: staying in Ohio after just kicking the Browns all over
- 20:26Speaker 1: the field, and then they're heading out there. You're four
- 20:29Speaker 1: and three and you're in first place by a game
- 20:33Speaker 1: in the a f C's out there. Doesn't feel better,
- 20:38Speaker 1: It doesn't erase some of the questions that you have
- 20:40Speaker 1: for the offense going in. But if your defense plays
- 20:42Speaker 1: well and the offense is effective on Sunday and you
- 20:44Speaker 1: win the ball game, everybody gets to take a breath
- 20:47Speaker 1: and go over to play the Eagles in London. And again,
- 20:49Speaker 1: the Eagles have never played over there. We know the
- 20:52Speaker 1: advantage that it is seen it, you'll see it this
- 20:55Speaker 1: year the second half. First of all, it feels like
- 20:57Speaker 1: the opponent last year was the Ravens. They're sleepwalking through
- 21:01Speaker 1: the first half right because their bodies just haven't had
- 21:03Speaker 1: time to adjust, and in the second half they're trying
- 21:05Speaker 1: to play catch up. So everything can be better. The
- 21:09Speaker 1: a f C South is still right there. Three and
- 21:12Speaker 1: three doesn't feel all that good because it was forty seven.
- 21:15Speaker 1: If you'd lost two narrow games, if you'd lost one
- 21:18Speaker 1: and twenty three the last two weeks at three and three,
- 21:22Speaker 1: you wouldn't feel so desperate. There would be not much panic.
- 21:25Speaker 1: The desperation is forty seven. That's an outlier. I believe
- 21:30Speaker 1: that's an outlier. I could be wrong with people. Go
- 21:32Speaker 1: well back to back weeks and the turnovers five turnovers
- 21:35Speaker 1: in Kansas City. That's a completely different game. If you
- 21:37Speaker 1: go back and watch the tape. The defense wasn't the
- 21:40Speaker 1: defense in Kansas City that it was in Dallas. So
- 21:42Speaker 1: we'll see. But the a f C South is there
- 21:45Speaker 1: and this could be a very big week to me,
- 21:49Speaker 1: And I said this for Jaguars Weekend when we did
- 21:52Speaker 1: the round table Sunday in Dallas was not a must
- 21:54Speaker 1: win because it's an NFC game, It wasn't a must win.
- 22:00Speaker 1: This Sunday is absolutely a must win. Now is your
- 22:03Speaker 1: season over? Oh so I guess technically not a must win,
- 22:08Speaker 1: but it's as close to a must win as it
- 22:10Speaker 1: can get, all encompassing, right, the feel in the building
- 22:13Speaker 1: and and you you can't get the field through your screen,
- 22:16Speaker 1: your computer, your television, whatever, but the field in the
- 22:19Speaker 1: building is this is a must win. This team needs
- 22:22Speaker 1: to You get on that edge, and you think, man,
- 22:24Speaker 1: this thing could get out of control. It could spiral.
- 22:26Speaker 1: You could see this thing go all of a sudden.
- 22:28Speaker 1: What if you're three and five coming out of London
- 22:31Speaker 1: in the bye week, Well, you don't even know. One
- 22:33Speaker 1: would have expected that, right, you don't. You're having that
- 22:36Speaker 1: conversation because you have the feeling that the Jaguards are
- 22:38Speaker 1: just sliding. Stop it. You gotta stop it here so
- 22:41Speaker 1: that you get some confidence back in this building. And
- 22:44Speaker 1: this is a team that when they're confident, are a
- 22:46Speaker 1: very difficult team to beat. They excel when they're confident.
- 22:49Speaker 1: This locker room needs this win more than ever, but
- 22:52Speaker 1: it certainly does Okay, let's take a break. It's a
- 22:55Speaker 1: Tuesday morning Jags Drive Time. Brian and Ashlyn. Jeff Lockhaman

- 24:56Speaker 1: Tuesday morning, Brian and Ashlyn with you that I ranted
- 24:59Speaker 1: rave enough there The first got pretty hot talking about
- 25:01Speaker 1: the defense. It was do you feel better? It was
- 25:05Speaker 1: cathartic here, right, because I just didn't have enough answers
- 25:08Speaker 1: and so I sat last night and just kind of
- 25:10Speaker 1: pounded out some notes on that and and that was
- 25:13Speaker 1: just extemporaneous thought about what it is um and none
- 25:18Speaker 1: of it is new to them. They're saying the same thing.
- 25:23Speaker 1: They might not say stop talking because but they're doing it.
- 25:27Speaker 1: I might have a feeling Doug is saying something at
- 25:29Speaker 1: some point. Well, at some point, you just no matter
- 25:31Speaker 1: how proud you are, you just have to back off
- 25:33Speaker 1: and you realize you can put your head down and work.
- 25:36Speaker 1: And they seem to do that post game. Yeah, Well,
- 25:39Speaker 1: one thing I know is that the right guy is
- 25:42Speaker 1: leading this team. He's got the right disposition. Coaches talk
- 25:46Speaker 1: all the time. They want to be level right, They
- 25:50Speaker 1: don't ever want to go too high or too low.
- 25:54Speaker 1: So many do up and down, and absolutely it is.
- 25:57Speaker 1: It's tough. There's so much pressure in this job, in
- 26:00Speaker 1: this in this league, so much money involved. It's tough
- 26:05Speaker 1: not to go up and down. You know. The media
- 26:07Speaker 1: asked the questions, friends, wives, you know, it just it
- 26:12Speaker 1: all just starts to build over the course of the week.
- 26:14Speaker 1: But Doug is just eve and keel right. I was
- 26:17Speaker 1: really impressed this press conference yesterday. I thought he handled
- 26:20Speaker 1: it very well. If you haven't seen it posted on
- 26:21Speaker 1: the website, you might want to go back and watch it. Yeah,
- 26:23Speaker 1: well it's you know, sometimes there's a lesson in it
- 26:25Speaker 1: for everyone, which is I wonder if I would handle
- 26:28Speaker 1: myself if I had to stand in front of the
- 26:30Speaker 1: media and explain my actions my team's poor performance. I
- 26:34Speaker 1: wonder if I could do it like that. I don't
- 26:37Speaker 1: think I could. I'm an emotional guy. I tend to
- 26:40Speaker 1: get angry. I would probably be pounding my fist right. Well,
- 26:45Speaker 1: I wouldn't do that because I know that to the
- 26:46Speaker 1: media's job. But I'd probably try to work a little
- 26:48Speaker 1: humor in it, and then I'd a little anger just me,
- 26:50Speaker 1: I know myself. Uh. Doug truly was this and I
- 26:54Speaker 1: respected right. And I think the most impressive thing was
- 26:57Speaker 1: when asked about the team's poor performance, he always went
- 26:59Speaker 1: back to himself. You know, it starts with me. I'm
- 27:02Speaker 1: to blame. It is my fault. You know, he could
- 27:04Speaker 1: have pointed a million fingers. He's not the type of
- 27:06Speaker 1: guy to do that. But what he's doing with that,
- 27:08Speaker 1: and I know you recognize this is he's saying I'm
- 27:11Speaker 1: blaming myself. You darn well better be blaming yourself. You
- 27:14Speaker 1: better be as accepting to his players. You better be
- 27:17Speaker 1: as accepting of the blame that's coming your way in
- 27:19Speaker 1: the meeting room, right, and do the same thing I'm
- 27:22Speaker 1: doing because to change it. Because I'm not sleeping this week.
- 27:26Speaker 1: I'm not turning the light off in my office this
- 27:28Speaker 1: week until i know I've done more to get this
- 27:32Speaker 1: on track. You better have the same to fix what
- 27:34Speaker 1: you can control, you better have the same approach. And
- 27:37Speaker 1: I think maybe that was saying, Hey, by the way,
- 27:38Speaker 1: you know, tuesday's your day off. I don't have any
- 27:40Speaker 1: days off. You might want to get in here, right,
- 27:44Speaker 1: We don't. He can't say that, but well he's sending
- 27:48Speaker 1: the message, the message we're working this week, fellas Okay,
- 27:51Speaker 1: so now is the time when I am quiet and
- 27:54Speaker 1: Ashlyn Rance rants all right. Ashlyn's analysis this week is
- 27:59Speaker 1: we've heard the complaints about this defense on Twitter from
- 28:02Speaker 1: the fan that there is not enough focus and there
- 28:05Speaker 1: is not enough effort. We've heard the word flat but
- 28:08Speaker 1: the past two weeks with this defense, and I'm here
- 28:10Speaker 1: to say that that is not it. It's not a
- 28:11Speaker 1: lack of effort, it's not a lack of focus. It's miscommunication.
- 28:15Speaker 1: We were watching on the field against Dallas and a
- 28:17Speaker 1: lot of people were confused. There was a lot of
- 28:20Speaker 1: people going, I don't know what's going on. It was
- 28:21Speaker 1: a miscommunication, and we're here to say what Calais Campbell
- 28:24Speaker 1: was thinking in the postgame locker room, you know, and
- 28:26Speaker 1: we know we're kept. This wasn't nue, This wasn't all
- 28:29Speaker 1: kind of ball. You know, we went out here and
- 28:30Speaker 1: we and we we play like somebody else, like the impostors.
- 28:34Speaker 1: You know, this wasn't nice. And at the same time,
- 28:36Speaker 1: you know, we got to wear it because because it
- 28:38Speaker 1: is us, you know, that's where we are right now.
- 28:39Speaker 1: And the only way it's called changes for what we
- 28:41Speaker 1: put in this week. You saw it in his eyes
- 28:44Speaker 1: in the term he used impostors. He knows that that defense.
- 28:47Speaker 1: That's not how they play, that's not who they are.
- 28:50Speaker 1: It's not a lack of talent, it's not a lack
- 28:52Speaker 1: of effort, it's not flat. It was just straight up
- 28:55Speaker 1: confusion against Alice. So you know, as I was standing
- 28:58Speaker 1: there listening to him, all I could think of on
- 29:01Speaker 1: Sunday evening in Dallas was this is what Doug was
- 29:04Speaker 1: trying to avoid in the off season. Remember from the
- 29:07Speaker 1: very first moment that he had his team back here
- 29:09Speaker 1: in in April, it was forget about This team is
- 29:14Speaker 1: not a continuation of that one that team has done.
- 29:17Speaker 1: This team comes in, right. He was trying to avoid
- 29:20Speaker 1: a place where the defense was, Hey, we're the best
- 29:24Speaker 1: because look we showed it last year. Right, we're happy
- 29:26Speaker 1: and content. He wanted them on the edge. When he
- 29:29Speaker 1: said the word impostors, all I could think of is
- 29:32Speaker 1: that this defense had played like impostors of the defense
- 29:36Speaker 1: that we had come to see and know, and that
- 29:39Speaker 1: Doug's message to them the entire off season was don't
- 29:43Speaker 1: be go and play. You can talk all you want,
- 29:46Speaker 1: but you've got to go and play. So you were
- 29:49Speaker 1: talking about effort, right, There's not a lack of care, right.
- 29:55Speaker 1: What you saw was the frustration of what is going
- 29:57Speaker 1: on here? And each guy has to ask themselves independent individually.
- 30:00Speaker 1: Did I do enough? Did I see something wrong there?
- 30:04Speaker 1: Did I not spend enough time in the film room?
- 30:05Speaker 1: What's going on? Why am I every guy, which again
- 30:08Speaker 1: goes back to Doug saying I blame myself. You better
- 30:11Speaker 1: blame yourself. Yeah. I got a text from a fan
- 30:14Speaker 1: there and they were saying, it looks like they don't
- 30:16Speaker 1: even care, like they don't even want to be here.
- 30:17Speaker 1: And you and I were both standing behind the bench.
- 30:19Speaker 1: I didn't get that feeling at all that they didn't
- 30:22Speaker 1: want to be there and that they didn't care. They
- 30:23Speaker 1: cared a lot. That defense was on white boards trying
- 30:26Speaker 1: to figure it out after every single drive. It wasn't
- 30:29Speaker 1: a lack of effort, it was just they were outmatched. No. Hey, now,
- 30:33Speaker 1: if you're watching the sidelines closely in the fourth quarter,
- 30:36Speaker 1: there probably was a little let's get this thing over with, right,
- 30:40Speaker 1: it was past that, right with the turnovers when the
- 30:42Speaker 1: game had gotten into the thirties, you know, yeah, okay,
- 30:45Speaker 1: all right, let's go out. And Doug did come by.
- 30:47Speaker 1: He walked by to keep fighting, keep fighting. He wanted
- 30:50Speaker 1: his team to know that he was paying attention to
- 30:52Speaker 1: their effort. And it was the effort in that half
- 30:55Speaker 1: that mattered, and they did when they got on the field.
- 30:57Speaker 1: They kept fighting. A guy's like Uni can do who
- 31:01Speaker 1: just kept the intensity level high. Right, Claius was hurting
- 31:06Speaker 1: from that shot that he took to the ribs. Right, Um,
- 31:09Speaker 1: it was it was, It was unique, and it was
- 31:12Speaker 1: Barry who were keeping that thing going right? Um effort, No,
- 31:17Speaker 1: not a problem concerned, No, not a problem focus concentration. Maybe.
- 31:23Speaker 1: I don't know what Todd Wash and his defensive staff
- 31:25Speaker 1: are saying to then this week. I just know that
- 31:28Speaker 1: I expect this to be an intense when the players
- 31:30Speaker 1: returned tomorrow to the locker room, right, I expect them
- 31:33Speaker 1: to be intense, very intense. You stick a microphone in
- 31:38Speaker 1: anyone's face, you you might get it bitten off. Taking
- 31:42Speaker 1: the end of it off Telvin at the podium tomorrow,
- 31:45Speaker 1: I think we'll be pretty cool here. Yeah, Okay, that's it.
- 31:49Speaker 1: That's all. No more lack of that. Did you pound
- 31:52Speaker 1: your fist? I don't think should you have? Maybe? Okay,
- 31:57Speaker 1: all right, time for agree to disagree? Which is that
- 32:00Speaker 1: crazy little segment where and by the way, when I
- 32:03Speaker 1: typed it out, hey give us a ball prediction, I thought, man,
- 32:07Speaker 1: now is this gonna is? This? Is this gonna come back?
- 32:09Speaker 1: Lots of I mean lots of really good stuff. Some
- 32:12Speaker 1: of it was that incredibly acidic negativity, uh that all
- 32:17Speaker 1: of you know comes with Twitter. There are times when
- 32:21Speaker 1: I just don't even go to it. Who But but
- 32:23Speaker 1: there was a lot of good stuff too, and I
- 32:25Speaker 1: picked a couple that I think I think you're like,
- 32:27Speaker 1: all right, let's see him. So this is from from
- 32:32Speaker 1: sub Dave Scotland and he points out, which we just
- 32:36Speaker 1: pointed out, is that when the Titans lose in London,
- 32:39Speaker 1: the Jagson Texans are playing for number one in the
- 32:41Speaker 1: a f C South. Absolutely agree with that. Now, the
- 32:44Speaker 1: Titans could go and throw that one, but you're still
- 32:47Speaker 1: playing for first in the AFC South even if they win, right, Um,
- 32:51Speaker 1: but the Titans are playing the early game, so we
- 32:53Speaker 1: will know. And this I get it. You focus on
- 32:57Speaker 1: the game that you're playing this week. But if I'm Doug,
- 32:58Speaker 1: I'm saying, hey, look here's what it is. Titans are
- 33:02Speaker 1: playing over there. We beat these guys. Where where we
- 33:05Speaker 1: want to be in first place? Maybe you're tied for
- 33:07Speaker 1: first place with the Titans, right, that's if you beat
- 33:10Speaker 1: the Texans and the Titans when you're still tied for
- 33:13Speaker 1: first place, great, that's where you want to be. You
- 33:16Speaker 1: want to be neck and neck. Because we knew this
- 33:18Speaker 1: race was going to be closed. Oh we thought for
- 33:20Speaker 1: a moment there that if the Jaguars beat the Titans
- 33:22Speaker 1: in Week three, maybe they might start to get a
- 33:24Speaker 1: two game lead three games in, maybe they could run
- 33:26Speaker 1: away with it. Of course, the injuries changed all of that.
- 33:29Speaker 1: But sub Dave Scotland is absolutely right. We totally agree
- 33:32Speaker 1: with you. The Jags are playing for first place in
- 33:33Speaker 1: the a f C South, which just doesn't feel that today. No,
- 33:36Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like that. And I also think they
- 33:38Speaker 1: have to still pay attention to those Titans because of
- 33:40Speaker 1: the loss. I feel as though that's going to be
- 33:42Speaker 1: in the back of their minds this entire season, whether
- 33:44Speaker 1: they like it or not. Yeah, the Titans are in
- 33:47Speaker 1: their head. They the Titans have been in this team's
- 33:49Speaker 1: head since when they were the Oilers and ninety nine
- 33:52Speaker 1: in particular, where they beat them three times, including the
- 33:55Speaker 1: ANC championship game. They're in their heads. It's funny you
- 33:58Speaker 1: mentioned that. I remember us Titans. We I think it
- 34:00Speaker 1: was Tuesday. We were talking about, Man, if you win
- 34:02Speaker 1: this week, you could just be often running games and
- 34:05Speaker 1: games ahead. That didn't happen that if everyone, if they
- 34:10Speaker 1: maintained some health, they were this roster was really good
- 34:14Speaker 1: and it was on its way. They haven't maintained health.
- 34:16Speaker 1: Now they're gonna have to fight it through. So all right,
- 34:18Speaker 1: what's next? Agree to disagree if the Texans win the
- 34:22Speaker 1: division or I said Texans win the division but Jacks
- 34:26Speaker 1: get in as a wild card, make it to the
- 34:27Speaker 1: a f C Championship Game. At least super Bowl is
- 34:30Speaker 1: rams Jags? Um. Texans are hot right now they are.
- 34:36Speaker 1: Jags are not, so you could agree with this one.
- 34:39Speaker 1: I do see the Jags as at least a wild
- 34:42Speaker 1: card team. Okay, um, but that an f C championship
- 34:46Speaker 1: game stuff. Hey, look, the Jags played in the a
- 34:49Speaker 1: f C Championship Game in their second year. We thought
- 34:51Speaker 1: the back next year, no problem, we know how to
- 34:54Speaker 1: do it right. Didn't get back till after nine. They
- 34:56Speaker 1: didn't get back until. I'm going to disagree with that one.
- 35:00Speaker 1: At this point, I'm going to disagree with that one
- 35:02Speaker 1: until the offense shows the ability to consistently score points.
- 35:07Speaker 1: But I think this defense can keep them around and
- 35:09Speaker 1: keep in position to be a wild card if they
- 35:10Speaker 1: don't win the division, keep them relevant. But after the
- 35:13Speaker 1: blowout we saw against the Cowboys in Kansas City, anytime
- 35:16Speaker 1: I see super Bowl in a question, I have to
- 35:18Speaker 1: disagree with it right now until this team proves it
- 35:19Speaker 1: to me. Point your premium right, now, Jaguars don't have
- 35:23Speaker 1: enough equity cash capital to uh to be able to
- 35:27Speaker 1: say we got the points they covered. They can change it.
- 35:29Speaker 1: You can't be talking about super Bowl right now, then
- 35:31Speaker 1: go change. What you talk about is hanging around and
- 35:34Speaker 1: having a chance. It was the turn in the Doug
- 35:35Speaker 1: User to get in the tournament, right that's what they're
- 35:38Speaker 1: focusing on. So the Texans, they're the hottest team in
- 35:42Speaker 1: the division right now. Uh, they come in. They running
- 35:45Speaker 1: game isn't very good, but man is they're passing attack
- 35:49Speaker 1: with Will Fuller who has incredible speed. And we all
- 35:51Speaker 1: know what Jalen Ramsey says about DeAndre Hopkins. If he
- 35:54Speaker 1: says something complimentary about him ran right. All right, So
- 35:59Speaker 1: we'll agree and disagree on that one, because what's up next.
- 36:05Speaker 1: I agree that we're better than this and the effort
- 36:07Speaker 1: over the last two weeks is total crap. No listen,
- 36:10Speaker 1: nationals analysis. These are professionals and we look like a
- 36:13Speaker 1: bunch of amateurs. You want to hammer that one. I disagree,
- 36:17Speaker 1: pounds fist. Okay, it's not a lack of effort. You've
- 36:22Speaker 1: seen it behind the bench. They're trying. This team is trying.
- 36:25Speaker 1: They want to fix more than anyone, including this fan.
- 36:28Speaker 1: It's not a lack of effort. Disagree. Okay, we'll let
- 36:31Speaker 1: you have the last word on that one. Jump in
- 36:32Speaker 1: with the next one. I think we have five lucky
- 36:35Speaker 1: if we go eight night this year. Well, the way
- 36:37Speaker 1: the offense is going to take Nate. But again, I
- 36:41Speaker 1: think they'll be in the hunt with this thing, the
- 36:43Speaker 1: defense we'll see. I think that I disagree with that one.
- 36:47Speaker 1: I don't think that would be lucky. I think that
- 36:49Speaker 1: would be hanging on and fighting. Uh, you know, luck
- 36:52Speaker 1: we'll see might be injuries. Yeah, luck is a huge
- 36:55Speaker 1: part of injuries. But I think healthy might be lucky. Yeah,
- 36:57Speaker 1: I disagree because I do think they get back on
- 36:59Speaker 1: track this week. I think they figure it out this week.
- 37:01Speaker 1: Nice one, stimping, get over it. Uh, now this is
- 37:04Speaker 1: the best one. So this is Moose who shows up
- 37:07Speaker 1: at All Access every Monday night. He says, if I
- 37:11Speaker 1: could be successful with down syndrome and the Jaguars can
- 37:13Speaker 1: be successful, maybe they need a Moose. Pep talk absolutely
- 37:18Speaker 1: a hud agree. If you haven't made it to Jaguars
- 37:21Speaker 1: All Access, which is a metal mushroom over in Avondale
- 37:24Speaker 1: on Mondays, you're missing it and we'll have Jeff on
- 37:26Speaker 1: it just a couple of minutes to talk about, you know,
- 37:28Speaker 1: last night show. But the energy that the players bring
- 37:31Speaker 1: with Calais and his guest last night was unique in
- 37:33Speaker 1: a go way. Um, it's the football side of it
- 37:36Speaker 1: is worth going to. But go introduce yourself to the
- 37:38Speaker 1: mayor of Avondale Moose, and I personally think it would
- 37:43Speaker 1: be great to have him too. He's uber fan loyal
- 37:46Speaker 1: fans who i'nt tell you what you know. Calais, I'm
- 37:49Speaker 1: told was there last night half an hour after the show,
- 37:51Speaker 1: hanging with Moose, talking with Moose. I bet you Klais
- 37:54Speaker 1: could make that one happen. Give him credibility. Yeah, absolutely,
- 37:57Speaker 1: totally agree with you. Moose. Wait, go all right, we're
- 38:01Speaker 1: done with this segment. We'll come back and we will
- 38:03Speaker 1: look at NFL headlines and take a deep breath Tuesday.
- 38:07Speaker 1: Take a deep breath Tuesday right after this. Hi, I'm

- 39:55Speaker 1: deep breath Tuesday, and then we'll take a look at
- 39:57Speaker 1: some NFL headlines. Then Jeff Logaman joined us to kind
- 40:00Speaker 1: of recap his film analysis from yesterday and look forward
- 40:03Speaker 1: a bit to Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, and
- 40:06Speaker 1: so take it away with take a deep breath to
- 40:09Speaker 1: us day. Here it is. We've mentioned it's a little
- 40:11Speaker 1: bit earlier. Rex Ryan isn't holding back when it comes
- 40:15Speaker 1: to the Jaguars defense. This defense is so overrated it's
- 40:20Speaker 1: not even funny. Now we talked about it. You know,
- 40:23Speaker 1: he has the right to say that after the passage, Well,
- 40:24Speaker 1: he has a reputation as a top defensive mind, so
- 40:28Speaker 1: he knows what he's looking at. At some point, I
- 40:30Speaker 1: didn't hear what his analysis was, did you. He went
- 40:33Speaker 1: on a rant on ESPN talking about how and it's
- 40:36Speaker 1: to the credit of the media. I mean, the media
- 40:38Speaker 1: hyped this team up so much over the training camp,
- 40:40Speaker 1: and he was saying, you know, I was, I was
- 40:42Speaker 1: victim to it. I did as well. But what they've
- 40:44Speaker 1: shown us so far is they're overrated. Okay, yeah, I
- 40:48Speaker 1: guess it's fair at this point. It's fair. It's fair.
- 40:50Speaker 1: But they had chance against Kansas City, uh, and they
- 40:53Speaker 1: had a chance against the Cowboys to perhaps win his favor. Um,
- 40:58Speaker 1: we'll see they're overrated to this point. What they do
- 41:01Speaker 1: from now, there's a great This fits perfectly. C. S.
- 41:04Speaker 1: Lewis One said, you can't go back to the beginning
- 41:06Speaker 1: and start over, but you can start where you are
- 41:09Speaker 1: and change the ending. Right. That's what this team can do.
- 41:11Speaker 1: They can change the opinion that people have of themselves
- 41:14Speaker 1: by the way that they play. And the reason that
- 41:16Speaker 1: we're so confident that they can change the opinion is
- 41:19Speaker 1: they've got the talent right, and we've seen them do
- 41:21Speaker 1: it right. They've got the ability to do it. Now
- 41:23Speaker 1: will they We'll find out all right. Next one, take
- 41:26Speaker 1: a deep breath, Tuesday. This is from a fan. This
- 41:29Speaker 1: is Marone. Your job on the line. Continue hoping the
- 41:32Speaker 1: good Boardles shows up, and you're gonna be gone, and
- 41:34Speaker 1: you're gonna be gonna soon play Cody or find someone else,
- 41:38Speaker 1: but you and a lot of you are going to
- 41:40Speaker 1: be gone if you keep putting your hopes on Boardles.
- 41:42Speaker 1: That was embarrassing on national television. So the focus here
- 41:47Speaker 1: is they're saying, if you put it all on boardles,
- 41:49Speaker 1: take about your coaching job. Okay, So on Sunday in Dallas,
- 41:54Speaker 1: you could you heard the players this is embarrassing. First
- 41:58Speaker 1: half right, not they down tend nothing, but when they
- 42:01Speaker 1: couldn't move the ball and Dak Prescott was picking them
- 42:05Speaker 1: apart to Cole Beasley, they were saying, this is embarrassing.
- 42:09Speaker 1: So they were embarrassed. To Carlos, however, everyone knows. Everyone
- 42:15Speaker 1: knows that if you don't win, you don't keep your job.
- 42:18Speaker 1: Doug knows it. Steve Wilkson Arizona knows it. Will share
- 42:20Speaker 1: that one with you in a moment. I guess what
- 42:23Speaker 1: he's getting at is play Cody or find someone else.
- 42:26Speaker 1: It's not a Boardle's issue. Winning is the issue. Well,
- 42:30Speaker 1: if they thought that Cody Kester was a better quarterback,
- 42:33Speaker 1: they plan and we haven't seen Cody on the field
- 42:36Speaker 1: right game time. If you had Julio Jones out on
- 42:40Speaker 1: one side, right and Antonio Brown on the other, it okay, fine, right,
- 42:48Speaker 1: you don't. You have a lack of weapons. You have
- 42:50Speaker 1: an offensive line that is injured, that is playing with
- 42:53Speaker 1: a replacement with their third third left tackle you're playing
- 42:57Speaker 1: without Leonard for ned Cody o Partny Corey Aunt is gone,
- 43:00Speaker 1: so was Austin Sepharian Jenkins. Cody Kessler is going to
- 43:04Speaker 1: come in and change the dynamic. No, it's not the answer. Hey,
- 43:06Speaker 1: Like we talked about last week, Gary Quaso, everybody loves
- 43:10Speaker 1: the backup quarterback. Just a slight tad maybe a little
- 43:13Speaker 1: hyperbole there from Carlos alright, last one. I take a
- 43:17Speaker 1: deep breath Tuesday, another fan. The front office should have
- 43:21Speaker 1: made more aggressive moves this past off season. Moncri has
- 43:25Speaker 1: been collecting free checks. Normal hasn't been worth what we
- 43:28Speaker 1: pay him. We took Brian at twenty nine when Lamar
- 43:30Speaker 1: Jackson was there to take the off season was questionable
- 43:33Speaker 1: and now it shows. Okay, so let's let's start at
- 43:36Speaker 1: the back. Lamar Jackson has no impact on the Baltimore
- 43:39Speaker 1: regulars right now. None a big name, but we haven't
- 43:42Speaker 1: seen much an well. But you know, they went out
- 43:43Speaker 1: in the off season. They had a big splash. Everybody
- 43:45Speaker 1: loved it because Joe Flacco didn't play well last year.
- 43:48Speaker 1: I guess what Joe Flaco was playing well. Lamar Jackson
- 43:50Speaker 1: is watching from the sidelines at this point, So forget
- 43:54Speaker 1: that one. They took Brian at nine because he was
- 43:56Speaker 1: the guy. They had four guys from twenty to thirty
- 43:59Speaker 1: that they had their eye on right, and all of
- 44:01Speaker 1: them went. Brian was there. We ad nausea, and we've
- 44:04Speaker 1: talked about the fact that this year is it the
- 44:06Speaker 1: last year probably of this defensive line in its current incarnation.
- 44:09Speaker 1: You need young players to start replacing some of those
- 44:12Speaker 1: high dollar free agents. You gotta handle that. Could you
- 44:14Speaker 1: put the tweet back up? I can't. I can't recall
- 44:16Speaker 1: what was at the top. We were going from the front.
- 44:19Speaker 1: Oh hey, look, Norwell was a guy that he was
- 44:22Speaker 1: injured in camp. He's injured. Now you don't have Leonard
- 44:25Speaker 1: for Nett, who we thought would really take advantage of
- 44:28Speaker 1: having Norwell. Uh. Mon Creef was not brought in here
- 44:30Speaker 1: to be a yard receiver. He was brought in here
- 44:34Speaker 1: to be a playmaker opposite of markis Lee, who's gone.
- 44:37Speaker 1: They made aggressive moves this offseason. They paid Moncreef nine million,
- 44:40Speaker 1: They paid Marquise Lee nine million, They paid Andrew Norwell
- 44:43Speaker 1: thirteen million. Right, they made moves. The moves haven't worked
- 44:48Speaker 1: out because of whatever reason, injury or otherwise, and they
- 44:51Speaker 1: also made moves for the future. That's tamn Brian for example.
- 44:54Speaker 1: That's for the future. That's not the success of the season, which,
- 44:57Speaker 1: by the way, is the job of every general man
- 45:00Speaker 1: to have that macro view and to be able to
- 45:02Speaker 1: look at the big picture while at the same time
- 45:05Speaker 1: seeing the micro view that the coaches have. You're not
- 45:07Speaker 1: looking just at this year for sure. All right, let's
- 45:08Speaker 1: do some headlines and then we'll get the logs. NFL
- 45:11Speaker 1: headline number one kind of talks to that whole coach thing, right. Uh,
- 45:14Speaker 1: that's Steve Wilkes. He's the head coach in his first
- 45:16Speaker 1: season with the Arizona Cardinals. They're one in five and
- 45:20Speaker 1: they are struggling. He was asked yesterday in his post
- 45:24Speaker 1: game news conference, or maybe it was less less Farrid
- 45:27Speaker 1: because they played it. No, they played the Vikings this week,
- 45:31Speaker 1: so he was asked, I'm just I'm confused moving right. Uh.
- 45:35Speaker 1: He was asked about his defensive cord and offensive wordy
- 45:37Speaker 1: to mc McCoy being fired, and he said, hey, I'm
- 45:42Speaker 1: on the block to six games in right, He's fully
- 45:45Speaker 1: aware of what this business is all about. He said,
- 45:46Speaker 1: don't leave me out. Of it. If we don't start winning,
- 45:49Speaker 1: my job is there. I thought that was a very
- 45:51Speaker 1: self aware approach. Not a lot of guys would take it. Uh.
- 45:55Speaker 1: Six games into it, he knows he's not hanging his
- 45:58Speaker 1: offensive coordinator out to dry. He's taken it all absolutely
- 46:02Speaker 1: without a doubt. Okay, next one, we'll give this one. Right. Um,
- 46:06Speaker 1: here's the defensive coordinator that we all know and many
- 46:08Speaker 1: of us love, and that's Mike Smith. They're desperate in Tampa. Now,
- 46:12Speaker 1: Mike got he was under under pressure in the off season.
- 46:16Speaker 1: He was under pressure after Mitchell Trubiski through six touchdowns
- 46:19Speaker 1: and then they lost their third straight game and it's over. Uh.
- 46:25Speaker 1: The hard part for Dirk Cutter is that they coached
- 46:28Speaker 1: together here. They coached together in Atlanta, They've coached together
- 46:31Speaker 1: in Tampa. That couldn't have been an easy move to make.
- 46:35Speaker 1: Here's the thing, change for change stake? Are they going
- 46:37Speaker 1: to be better with Mark Duffner as their defensive coordinator?
- 46:41Speaker 1: Love duff too, but you're talking about guy who twice
- 46:44Speaker 1: was named the NFL Head Coach of the Year and
- 46:46Speaker 1: who has run defense successfully. They have more issues than
- 46:50Speaker 1: Mike Smith. This is throwing the baby out with bathwater,
- 46:54Speaker 1: so to speak. And if you see them make a
- 46:56Speaker 1: dramatic move forward, I would be stunned. It's a message
- 46:59Speaker 1: to the player, Hey, you better play better. We're trying here.
- 47:03Speaker 1: We'll do anything. And it's the fans as well. You know,
- 47:05Speaker 1: you can hear fans complaints and they gotta do something.
- 47:08Speaker 1: And finally, last NFL headlined the players are now vociferously
- 47:12Speaker 1: calling for the removal of Vanta's birthitt. You see right there,
- 47:16Speaker 1: he's throwing his elbow into the helmet of Antonio Brown
- 47:19Speaker 1: in their game on Sunday. This is a guy who
- 47:21Speaker 1: has not played more than thirteen games because of suspension
- 47:25Speaker 1: since two thousand and fourteen. I mean, he just he's
- 47:29Speaker 1: a guy with the reputation, and he's earned the reputation
- 47:31Speaker 1: you've had a couple of years ago, he took out
- 47:34Speaker 1: both Levan Bell and Antonio Brown with cheap shots in
- 47:37Speaker 1: their game. In fact, I think in that same game,
- 47:40Speaker 1: Ben Roethlis Chirp Burger took a big shot from him
- 47:43Speaker 1: as well. So players are now calling for this one.
- 47:46Speaker 1: They want him suspended again. Yeah, Vante's birthitt on very
- 47:50Speaker 1: thin ice in the National Football League, all right, those
- 47:54Speaker 1: are your headlines will take a break. Jeff Loghaman steps
- 47:56Speaker 1: in to share some thoughts from watching the film yesterday.
- 47:58Speaker 1: We'll also get his opinion on J. J. Watt and
- 48:00Speaker 1: the Texans ruling in here on Sunday. One final segment
- 48:04Speaker 1: to Jack's drive time on a Tuesday morning. He's next. Hi.
- 48:14Speaker 1: I'm Tito Beverage founder and master disteller a Tito's handmade Vodka.
- 48:17Speaker 1: I've been doing this for twenty years, but success doesn't
- 48:20Speaker 1: happen in a vacuum. Thank you for helping me move
- 48:22Speaker 1: this thing along. You help me get this thing going

- 49:48Speaker 1: Jeff Loghaman joins us um interesting show last nime Calais
- 49:53Speaker 1: and you had unique people that were there. Tell me
- 49:56Speaker 1: that the football stuff was great, that they were a
- 50:00Speaker 1: difficult day, they were willing to share some stuff that
- 50:02Speaker 1: they were They were great, and I've been there as
- 50:04Speaker 1: a player, and when you're when you're answering questions after
- 50:07Speaker 1: a loss like that where you give up forty, it's
- 50:09Speaker 1: it's not very comfortable. And that's just the way it is.
- 50:12Speaker 1: And it's two weeks in a row where you've given
- 50:14Speaker 1: up about four yards a week, and as a defensive player,
- 50:19Speaker 1: you're not very proud of that. And I think that's
- 50:21Speaker 1: a a good thing and a bad thing. A bad
- 50:24Speaker 1: thing is that you're answering the questions, but but a
- 50:26Speaker 1: good thing and that you don't feel good about it.
- 50:28Speaker 1: And so I think both players are tremendous leaders of
- 50:32Speaker 1: this defense, and I think those are two of the
- 50:34Speaker 1: main players that need to be kind of beating the
- 50:36Speaker 1: drum of improvement because this is kind of an interesting
- 50:40Speaker 1: quandary there in because a lot of times when you
- 50:42Speaker 1: have problems, you kind of point in one direction or
- 50:44Speaker 1: one area, and with this I don't think you really do.
- 50:47Speaker 1: I think you point to all areas because as a performance,
- 50:51Speaker 1: you look at that Dallas Cowboys game and there were
- 50:54Speaker 1: moments to where the defensive line didn't do enough against
- 50:57Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Good offensive line. Give the Cowboys credit, they're good.
- 51:01Speaker 1: The linebackers didn't do a good enough job at times
- 51:04Speaker 1: because there were some bootlegs that were very successful, and
- 51:06Speaker 1: bootlegs linebackers are a big part of that. Linebackers also
- 51:10Speaker 1: double coverage under Cole Beasley one of them, and since
- 51:13Speaker 1: didn't get done. As I showed last night with Miles Jack,
- 51:15Speaker 1: the secondary not their best performance. To Shaun Gibson on
- 51:20Speaker 1: a third and long, supposed to be a cutter needs
- 51:22Speaker 1: to be a cutter, and you could clearly see in
- 51:24Speaker 1: a game he was tapping his chest to Jalen Ramsey,
- 51:26Speaker 1: that's me. That's me. And look, I mean when you're
- 51:29Speaker 1: if you're six or seven eight Pro bowlers on defense,
- 51:33Speaker 1: that kind of thing can happen. Guys need to be accountable.
- 51:37Speaker 1: Guys need to make sure that their level of play
- 51:40Speaker 1: is good. And so that's why I mentioned to him
- 51:42Speaker 1: last night. And I think what has sometimes can happen
- 51:45Speaker 1: in a situation like this because the fans are similar
- 51:48Speaker 1: in this way, they react instead of respond, and I
- 51:52Speaker 1: think there's a difference between the two. The reaction is
- 51:54Speaker 1: at the fingerpoint, and when you start finger pointing, when
- 51:57Speaker 1: one finger that you have pointed out there's gonna be
- 52:00Speaker 1: two or three of them pointing back at you. So
- 52:02Speaker 1: you have to make sure that your yard is clean
- 52:04Speaker 1: and take care of your business first. And I think
- 52:07Speaker 1: every player on that defense needs to worry about their
- 52:11Speaker 1: yard first, and then after that raised the other guys
- 52:14Speaker 1: up around them instead of pointing at them or accusing
- 52:17Speaker 1: them of not holding up their end of the yeast.
- 52:18Speaker 1: He we thought, Doug did I is he was talking
- 52:21Speaker 1: about me? Me, me, I've got to do it. I've
- 52:23Speaker 1: got to own it. I've got to get my team
- 52:25Speaker 1: and my coaching staff to play at a higher level.
- 52:27Speaker 1: It's on me. I thought. What he was saying is
- 52:29Speaker 1: everybody better have that approach well, and the way he
- 52:31Speaker 1: says that because you want a coach to use the
- 52:33Speaker 1: word we more than he says me or I sure,
- 52:37Speaker 1: But in this instance, that's where it's got to start first.
- 52:40Speaker 1: As me and I I can't recall this defense since
- 52:44Speaker 1: some since they were put together last year, struggling as
- 52:47Speaker 1: much as they did upfront, and I get it, the
- 52:49Speaker 1: Cowboys are really good, but we talked that they weren't
- 52:52Speaker 1: playing at that same level. It all to me started
- 52:55Speaker 1: up front and you were talking about mistakes, more could
- 52:57Speaker 1: have been done? Who and how look at it? Look
- 53:00Speaker 1: at what you see? Well, if you want to talking
- 53:02Speaker 1: about specifically about the guys up front, I thought in
- 53:05Speaker 1: Gow had a very good game. Let me say that
- 53:07Speaker 1: for him. I mean regardless of the two sacks, because
- 53:10Speaker 1: there was two other instances where he could have had
- 53:13Speaker 1: sex wanted me. Tackled Dak Prescott for a game of
- 53:15Speaker 1: like a foot and he just missed the sack on that,
- 53:18Speaker 1: and he had two others that he had an opportunity on.
- 53:20Speaker 1: So and he's going against Tyron Smith, who is all
- 53:24Speaker 1: world and has the body to play huge. L Collins
- 53:29Speaker 1: the right tackle, who and Gockway get snaps against him
- 53:31Speaker 1: to He's a really good football player. He's not a
- 53:33Speaker 1: Pro Bowl Calibal player, but he's a notch below that.
- 53:37Speaker 1: I expected more out of the interior guys. I expected
- 53:40Speaker 1: more out of Klaius and I thought that was Klaius is.
- 53:44Speaker 1: I don't want to say it was his weakest game,
- 53:46Speaker 1: but he's he's come or we've seen him play at
- 53:50Speaker 1: a level that's so high that you expect him to
- 53:53Speaker 1: continue to play at a level that's so high. And
- 53:56Speaker 1: when he doesn't you're like, what's wrong? You know? So,
- 53:59Speaker 1: and he wasn't there against the Cowboys. Marcel Darius I thought,
- 54:02Speaker 1: how solid game, but his pass rush needs to be
- 54:05Speaker 1: more impactful, and I think that's kind of been a
- 54:07Speaker 1: common theme with him throughout. Lake Jackson I thought was
- 54:10Speaker 1: solid at times, could have been better at times against
- 54:13Speaker 1: a rookie guard when he was given the opportunity. Uh
- 54:17Speaker 1: uh So overall, not bad, but could have been so
- 54:23Speaker 1: much better, right, you know, because the challenge was high
- 54:26Speaker 1: against that offensive line, but the linebackers, the secondary members
- 54:30Speaker 1: um not great because when you start having coverage breakdowns
- 54:33Speaker 1: or little mistakes in the secondary and coverage. This is
- 54:36Speaker 1: not a a very complex defense. So what you have
- 54:41Speaker 1: to do is you have to master the simplified version
- 54:45Speaker 1: of your defense, which is what they do. They don't
- 54:47Speaker 1: do a lot of crazy things like the Browns do
- 54:51Speaker 1: with pressures and all that. So what you do, you
- 54:53Speaker 1: gotta do good and you gotta be clean. How, looking
- 54:56Speaker 1: at the defense as a whole, how do you fix
- 54:58Speaker 1: that this week? Because this is now a huge week
- 55:01Speaker 1: for let me say this, Actually, the defense is fixable.
- 55:04Speaker 1: I'm not worried about that side of the ball. I
- 55:07Speaker 1: mean because I think that, look, that's a prideful group.
- 55:10Speaker 1: They know what they're capable of. And I think Kansas
- 55:14Speaker 1: City was a moment for them. They were like, oh,
- 55:16Speaker 1: that's not us. And because down twenty and nothing, you
- 55:19Speaker 1: still had the talk going on the field and you're like,
- 55:22Speaker 1: stop trash talking when you're down by twenty points. And
- 55:26Speaker 1: I think even after the game you heard some commentary
- 55:28Speaker 1: from from the defensive players that we played Okay, wasn't
- 55:32Speaker 1: that bad? You know? Well the Cowboys game was different. Okay,
- 55:37Speaker 1: because that made you wake up a little slap of reality.
- 55:41Speaker 1: You were you were bad and there's no hiding that.
- 55:44Speaker 1: And you heard Clay say many times in this postgame interview,
- 55:47Speaker 1: we need to wear it. The offense is what I'm
- 55:49Speaker 1: concerned about. And can they get better because numerous personnel
- 55:53Speaker 1: changes with an offense that you know is going to
- 55:56Speaker 1: struggle anyway, how do you get better there? That's a
- 56:01Speaker 1: tough one. What do they do well enough right now?
- 56:05Speaker 1: I mean, because here's the thing. If if they do
- 56:08Speaker 1: something well, you can see it, right Ashlan, Do you
- 56:12Speaker 1: see anything that they're doing well right now? That's a problem.
- 56:16Speaker 1: And that's a big problem because you hang your hat
- 56:18Speaker 1: on something that you do well. When you struggle, you
- 56:21Speaker 1: go back to the basics, the foundation of your principles.
- 56:25Speaker 1: Last year, what do they do well? They ran the
- 56:27Speaker 1: ball well? Are they running the ball well this year
- 56:31Speaker 1: they're not? Are they throwing the ball well this year
- 56:33Speaker 1: they're not. That that's that's the biggest concern. That's the question,
- 56:38Speaker 1: or that's the area that you go Is it fixable.
- 56:43Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that, And that's a concern.
- 56:46Speaker 1: And we've talked so much about the offense in that
- 56:49Speaker 1: game against Atlanta with the two backs set, and you
- 56:51Speaker 1: know all the receivers that were involved and all these
- 56:54Speaker 1: complimentary pieces that worked hand in hand, and you have
- 56:56Speaker 1: been able to see the two back set since Leonard
- 56:58Speaker 1: went down. Corey has now gone for the seasons, and
- 57:00Speaker 1: Jenkins talk about the tight end and how impactful that is.
- 57:04Speaker 1: It's I thought it was a bigger injury than it
- 57:07Speaker 1: got credit for. People were more talking about Corey than
- 57:10Speaker 1: they were a s J last week. Well, and Corey
- 57:13Speaker 1: just because he touches the ball and he's exciting, he's fast,
- 57:16Speaker 1: but but Austin Seferian Jenkins is he's a mainstay, he's
- 57:20Speaker 1: a pillar he's a blocking tight end. He's also number
- 57:23Speaker 1: one target in the red zone when he was on
- 57:25Speaker 1: the field. He's a big body. Was he playing at
- 57:29Speaker 1: a high level when he was out there? No, that's
- 57:31Speaker 1: why he ended up going on injury reserve and he's
- 57:33Speaker 1: gonna go get this core injury fixed. So is he
- 57:37Speaker 1: a lost? Yeah, he's a lost because he's an every
- 57:39Speaker 1: downs player, Corey Grants kind of a specialty player. Can
- 57:42Speaker 1: you but can you replace either one of them? That's no,
- 57:46Speaker 1: you can't. I mean that's the NFL. And I know
- 57:49Speaker 1: as much as coaches and players like to say next
- 57:54Speaker 1: man up, it's a great way to say it, but
- 57:56Speaker 1: the reality is the next man up is not as
- 57:58Speaker 1: good as the guy that just went down. Thought on
- 58:00Speaker 1: for net, it sounds as if there's optimism that he's
- 58:03Speaker 1: going to play this week, He's gonna practice on Wednesday.
- 58:06Speaker 1: It sounds like what can he do, especially with the
- 58:08Speaker 1: offensive line that's all banged up. Great question and if
- 58:12Speaker 1: if there was something that they needed, that would be it.
- 58:16Speaker 1: And I'm not saying Leonard Fournete. I'm just saying, spark
- 58:19Speaker 1: somebody to believe in to go back to what was
- 58:22Speaker 1: your foundation, which is running the football. But but my
- 58:26Speaker 1: concern is when Leonard Fournette gets back, what version of
- 58:30Speaker 1: Leonard fournee are we getting? And I'm gonna refer back
- 58:32Speaker 1: to last year. Are we gonna get the Leonard Fournette
- 58:34Speaker 1: that was post injury that was about three point six
- 58:37Speaker 1: yards to carry or you're gonna get the one that
- 58:40Speaker 1: was pre injury that was averaging over four yards to carry.
- 58:43Speaker 1: And even if you get the best version, are you
- 58:46Speaker 1: getting an elite back? No, you're not. You're getting an
- 58:50Speaker 1: average back because right now that's what the number show.
- 58:53Speaker 1: Leonard four Nette is an average back. So you hope
- 58:57Speaker 1: that you can get an average back, and then you
- 59:00Speaker 1: wish and dream that you can get an elite back.
- 59:03Speaker 1: But right now I think you settled for an average
- 59:06Speaker 1: back because right now that's what he's shown to me.
- 59:08Speaker 1: I go back to again that Atlanta game. Remember that
- 59:10Speaker 1: run the touchdown right about twenty one yards where he
- 59:13Speaker 1: fed right off the hip and cut it back on
- 59:15Speaker 1: Austin Severian Jenkins, and I thought, that's gonna be a
- 59:18Speaker 1: great combo. They haven't had it and it's just not
- 59:21Speaker 1: been there for no. And now you got t J
- 59:23Speaker 1: who left the game in Dallas and didn't return, and
- 59:27Speaker 1: nothing was really mentioned about any kind of an injury,
- 59:30Speaker 1: but you know that he's ha had an makele and
- 59:32Speaker 1: it's been alien. So now you're you're hoping a guy
- 59:35Speaker 1: comes back from injury, and then you're hoping that a
- 59:38Speaker 1: guy that's been playing can get better while playing. That's
- 59:41Speaker 1: not easy to do. And then I was asked last week,
- 59:44Speaker 1: I'm sure you were two. What can Jamal Charles bring
- 59:46Speaker 1: to the table. Here's the reality. He was on the
- 59:50Speaker 1: street and he's thirty what years old? Years? Yeah, you
- 59:55Speaker 1: hope of play here or there, but he wasn't hard
- 59:58Speaker 1: to key on what he was gonna do when he
- 59:59Speaker 1: was in there. We're gonna get him the ball. And
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, which is probably in a similar boat, same age, ballpark,
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: same number of miles on the car, so to speak.
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: And Adrian Peterson is still doing it very well for
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: the Redskins. But he's also a guy that came back
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: from an a c O in like six months and
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: then let the league in rushing. And he's a freak superhuman,
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: And so is Jamal Charles a freak? No, because if
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: if he was, then he would have showed a lot
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: of a lot more than what he did in Denver
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: last year. I have had a quick thought on the Texans.
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: Uh will their defense right with that has some holes
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: in the secondary because of injury? Uh can this offense
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: They're gonna struggle. They're gonna struggle. I'm gonna tell you
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: right now, Brian, They're gonna struggle. Jed Watt is back.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: Is he back to his defensive m v P form? No,
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: but he's got seven sacks and that ought to tell
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: you that he's back to playing pretty good. And even
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: though Jaaming Clowney has only two and a half sexs,
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: he's probably one of the top five most disruptive players
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: in the National Football League right now watching him because
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: I've there have been all these common opponents with the Jaguars,
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: obviously they're playing similar schedules, so I've I've gotten to
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: see him like four games on film this year, and
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: he is incredible, I mean incredible. The scary thing is
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: is that with that defense with J. J. Watt and
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: Whitney Merciless, Jenavian Clowney and Bernardrick McKinney. Ardrick McKinney is fantastic.
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: They line them up at different places every different play.
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: And that's the scary thing. Where are they gonna line up?
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: What are they gonna do? You don't know. They they're
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: so creative with their personnel because they have flexibility with
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: those guys. They might line J. J. Watt up and
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: have him rushing over Parnell and then the next three
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: plays he could be across the offensive line for the Jaguars,
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: somebody different every time, and Jendavian Clowney lines up is
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: what it's called a jack. Jack is a three or
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: four term for the right outside linebacker. Okay, so well,
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, the next play he might
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: line up as am my inside linebacker and he's gonna blitz,
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: or that he's gonna look around on the outside on
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: the pass rush. Or he can line up as a will,
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: or he could line up as a Sam, or he
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: can line up with his hand in the ground as
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: a defensive end. I mean, that's the scary thing. Where
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: do they line them up? And so you see so
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: many times in on film to where the opponent offensive line,
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: the center is going and their guards are going. But
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: you know, I'm doing all these hand signals that people
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: can't see it that they're trying to figure out what
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: the hell are they lining up in right? And how
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: do we call this and how do we declare the mic?
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: Who's the mic? I don't know who's the mic, and
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: that's that's where it becomes difficult. They can create confusion
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: and they're always on point. They're not confused when they
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: line up differently. So this is a perfect week for
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: the defense to come back and play. This is a
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: great challenge because and I brought this up to you Nike,
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: and and got way and Clay's campbell last night. The
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: challenge this week is to be better than the Texans
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: defense because statistically you may be ranked higher in yards
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: per game and maybe even points per game then the
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: Houston Texans. But that Texans defense is really good and
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: they come in hot. They won three in a row.
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: That's a big difference. Thanks for time, it's always on Tuesday.
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: Appreciate it. We'll sign off and be back tomorrow with
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: John Osier. Thanks for joining us on Jacks Drive Time.
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: Have a great day, everybody,
