- 0:01Speaker 1: Jeffuarris, did you don't Jack, Jack Morris? Did you Jackuarris
- 0:06Speaker 1: Drive Time? Ryan Sex sexted John oh says it actually
- 0:12Speaker 1: Jeduarres Drive Time starts right now. There's any given Sunday Man.
- 0:18Speaker 1: We didn't We didn't do enough so when they did. Um,
- 0:25Speaker 1: I won't say an empty feeling. I don't know how
- 0:28Speaker 1: I would describe it. It sucks losing over and over
- 0:32Speaker 1: and over a hand, but I wouldn't say it's an
- 0:35Speaker 1: empty feeling completely. Just what's up right now? I'd say
- 0:42Speaker 1: it's pretty empty, I'd said, I'd say it's really empty,
- 0:45Speaker 1: to be honest, with a good morning, Welcome to Jack's
- 0:48Speaker 1: Drive Time, brought to you by our friends at JED
- 0:50Speaker 1: Home Loans, Brian Sexton, Ashley Sullivan, John Owes, you're with
- 0:53Speaker 1: you here? Um? The real reason we played that off
- 0:59Speaker 1: the top to show John in the background. Yeah, I
- 1:02Speaker 1: noticed in the shot my glasses a little dirty, So
- 1:04Speaker 1: I'm trying to get you're working on those right now? Um?
- 1:07Speaker 1: And get that none? Yeah, where to even begin? Um?
- 1:11Speaker 1: So I'm on the sidelines and I watched as Moncreeve
- 1:17Speaker 1: pulls the ball in for this seeming go ahead touchdown
- 1:20Speaker 1: right and I'm watching as he is locked with the
- 1:24Speaker 1: defensive back for the ball and thinking, well, this is easy.
- 1:27Speaker 1: I mean, it's he hit the pylon and you know
- 1:31Speaker 1: he's got possession, shared possessions to the offense. Touchdown. Here
- 1:34Speaker 1: we go over the next few minutes. What unraveled. It
- 1:38Speaker 1: was like a vacuum and it sucked all of the
- 1:42Speaker 1: energy and the the life even away from the Jaguars sideline.
- 1:46Speaker 1: And I watched it. It was almost like I grabbed
- 1:50Speaker 1: some popcorn and sit down and watched the drama that
- 1:52Speaker 1: played out. I'll say it's the minute that Leonard Fournett
- 1:54Speaker 1: left the sideline, I said, this one's done, because you
- 1:57Speaker 1: knew he wasn't going over there to play peacemaker. And
- 2:00Speaker 1: if he stays in the ball game, they win because
- 2:03Speaker 1: even if the touchdown was taken away, they get it
- 2:05Speaker 1: at the one yard line. The Jaguars had will believe
- 2:07Speaker 1: or not believe it or not. At that moment, the
- 2:09Speaker 1: Jaguars had momentum. They get the touchdown, he gets his
- 2:12Speaker 1: third touchdown at the game. He's in the running for
- 2:14Speaker 1: a f C Offensive Player of the Week. Instead he's
- 2:16Speaker 1: apologizing after the game. There's people talking about wanting to
- 2:20Speaker 1: take the sea off of his chest and he's facing
- 2:23Speaker 1: a big fine. Yeah, and uh you know I I
- 2:30Speaker 1: do understand the instinct to defend that he was talking
- 2:34Speaker 1: about too. You know you're going to battle with your boys,
- 2:38Speaker 1: you know that whole the helmets John, But well, um,
- 2:44Speaker 1: but you can't do it, you know, it's it's it's uh, yes,
- 2:49Speaker 1: there is an element of all in this together and
- 2:53Speaker 1: fight to the finish. But you're you're also trying to
- 2:56Speaker 1: win a game. Well, that's where the lack of discipline. Correct,
- 2:58Speaker 1: You can't have your cap, didn't running across the field.
- 3:02Speaker 1: You just return to the big guys, right, there's some
- 3:04Speaker 1: defensive linement on the sidelines there go. Hey guys, you
- 3:06Speaker 1: see what's going over there? Can go help you stay put?
- 3:09Speaker 1: But could you imagine was you talking about the sea
- 3:11Speaker 1: on the chest. Could you imagine if Calais when and
- 3:13Speaker 1: did that or he wouldn't. Just let's put it in
- 3:19Speaker 1: perspective here. M Max put up the graphic for the
- 3:21Speaker 1: ex Afinity Twitter pool player, the game that Jags drive
- 3:25Speaker 1: time pull on Twitter right Leonards number one here for
- 3:29Speaker 1: a reason to display the fact that the absurdity of
- 3:31Speaker 1: this all, he was having a dominant game. I mean
- 3:35Speaker 1: a second straight week. He's over a hundred yards, he's
- 3:37Speaker 1: got two touchdowns, and he was running hard. They could
- 3:41Speaker 1: not contain him. He runs off the field. They lose. Now,
- 3:45Speaker 1: small measure of crediting him. He stood in the locker
- 3:47Speaker 1: room after the game him and talked and admitted it
- 3:50Speaker 1: was his fault. The losses entirely on him. Um wow,
- 3:54Speaker 1: And what's the shame is he's problem? Well, actually even
- 3:59Speaker 1: say problem week. I would say he is playing the
- 4:03Speaker 1: last two games at a higher level than he's played
- 4:07Speaker 1: in a year and a half in the NFL. He missed,
- 4:09Speaker 1: of course, the first part of this season, but there
- 4:12Speaker 1: was a large stretch of last season. Well, he's said
- 4:15Speaker 1: to a couple of games he was not great last year.
- 4:18Speaker 1: He was good, and he mattered to this team very much.
- 4:19Speaker 1: He had to stop him. But the last couple of
- 4:21Speaker 1: gamescial yesterday, it it has started to open some eyes
- 4:26Speaker 1: of Okay, this is why he's number four overall. I'm
- 4:29Speaker 1: not saying he's there yet, but uh, he played very
- 4:33Speaker 1: very well. That's what we should be talking about, is
- 4:36Speaker 1: the fact that in the last couple of games. Okay,
- 4:39Speaker 1: this might be something to build around that you can
- 4:44Speaker 1: count on going forward, and instead we're talking about this,
- 4:47Speaker 1: which is uh yeah, I mean it it cost him
- 4:54Speaker 1: the game, and I guess there has just been too
- 4:57Speaker 1: many things like this that have cost them too much
- 4:59Speaker 1: this season. Um, this is kind of Big Thing one one,
- 5:02Speaker 1: don't you roll running from? Yes, Big Thing one is inexcuseable.
- 5:05Speaker 1: So we're talking about this drive right here, a huge
- 5:07Speaker 1: game from Dante Moncreef for thirty yards, its first and
- 5:10Speaker 1: goal on the one right now. You're probably giving it
- 5:12Speaker 1: to lendond for for a touchdown, but he is not
- 5:15Speaker 1: in the game because he was ejected for fighting. He
- 5:17Speaker 1: says later in the locker room. It's all on him loss.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Its totaling on me, you know, I mean, not number one,
- 5:25Speaker 1: just like I mean, that's just how I was raised,
- 5:26Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like they're gonna laugh about it,
- 5:28Speaker 1: see what they're saying. But your brother again attack fighting
- 5:31Speaker 1: out That mean you're gonna have the god the and
- 5:33Speaker 1: also protect young you know. But at the same time, uh,
- 5:37Speaker 1: it's a professionally now, you know what I mean, you
- 5:39Speaker 1: can't have that. You know, I apologized all the kids
- 5:41Speaker 1: out there. We'll look up to me, you know, and
- 5:43Speaker 1: all our fans. But the biggest thing is man, Like
- 5:45Speaker 1: I said this whole there's a loss totaling on me.
- 5:48Speaker 1: I take four responsibilities. You just can't imagine anyone else
- 5:55Speaker 1: wearing the sea on their chest running across the field
- 5:57Speaker 1: like that. You can't. I can't even see Jalen doing that.
- 6:00Speaker 1: What you hope and he sort of talked his way through.
- 6:04Speaker 1: I missed the very very beginning of yesterday, but from
- 6:06Speaker 1: what I heard there, he sort of talked his way
- 6:09Speaker 1: through both sides of the argument. You know, Uh, there's
- 6:12Speaker 1: the instinct, there's the instinct to go fight. Uh that
- 6:15Speaker 1: that I guess you grew up with. And but I'm
- 6:19Speaker 1: a prone now I can't do it. And UM, I
- 6:22Speaker 1: think I'm hearing him right. Well, what you hope is
- 6:26Speaker 1: that that process takes place and he realizes that the
- 6:31Speaker 1: second part in the NFL is the part that you
- 6:34Speaker 1: can't do it, especially when you're at that moment, the
- 6:38Speaker 1: best player in the offense at that moment. That the
- 6:41Speaker 1: reason your teams in the game has a chance to win. Um.
- 6:45Speaker 1: Too much of this season has been changed by what
- 6:49Speaker 1: he couldn't control, which was the first eight games this season. Uh.
- 6:53Speaker 1: It's a shame that yesterday was changed by what he
- 6:55Speaker 1: could control. Firmly believe they win the ball game if
- 6:58Speaker 1: he doesn't get ejected because they score right there. There's
- 7:01Speaker 1: there's no missfield goal, there's no momentum back the other way.
- 7:06Speaker 1: And and and speaking of lack of discipline, three play
- 7:10Speaker 1: sixty eight yards two personal fouls on the Jaguars defense
- 7:16Speaker 1: on the ensuing series. So I'm gonna give the other
- 7:18Speaker 1: side of that though I thought, I thought in Gotway's
- 7:23Speaker 1: face masks uh, he perhaps could have avoided it. I'm
- 7:27Speaker 1: not sure what Barry Church does to avoid his penalty
- 7:30Speaker 1: it uh. And I wrote it a couple of times
- 7:33Speaker 1: in the same vein that you were saying boy two
- 7:35Speaker 1: in sports to in sports my conduct. Um. But we
- 7:38Speaker 1: saw the same thing on a on a series last
- 7:40Speaker 1: week against Pittsburgh. Taylors go down the field. And so
- 7:43Speaker 1: that's why it feels undisciplined. There's no question when you
- 7:46Speaker 1: don't need them, you get to And here's the only
- 7:49Speaker 1: thing we can say about Barry. He lowered his head.
- 7:52Speaker 1: And that's been the rule, that's been the point of
- 7:54Speaker 1: emphasis all season long. I don't think it's been egregiously called.
- 7:58Speaker 1: In other words, we're not seen that called four times
- 8:01Speaker 1: a game like we thought we might. It was a
- 8:03Speaker 1: half to call for the official I'm not sad it
- 8:06Speaker 1: shouldn't have been called. But when you watched the plan,
- 8:08Speaker 1: I watched that this morning trying to figure okay, were
- 8:11Speaker 1: they really just it felt, and I agree with you, Brian,
- 8:14Speaker 1: it felt when it was happening, like, Okay, they've reached
- 8:17Speaker 1: that point where they're just out there playing and they're
- 8:22Speaker 1: no longer concerned about how they play, which is a
- 8:26Speaker 1: lack of discipal. I guess I described a lack of
- 8:29Speaker 1: discipline when I watched Berries. I did kind of say,
- 8:32Speaker 1: I don't know what I would tell him to do
- 8:34Speaker 1: differently except not lower the head. And in that situation,
- 8:37Speaker 1: you almost feel like he's putting himself in harm's way
- 8:38Speaker 1: if he doesn't lower the head. So we're back to
- 8:40Speaker 1: a different argument. But even with that, even with a
- 8:44Speaker 1: lack of discipline, it was still too easy, way too
- 8:48Speaker 1: easy to touchdown. And you know, um, I'm gonna talk
- 8:51Speaker 1: about quarterbacks. Just a note on Josh Allen, big guy
- 8:56Speaker 1: jag Wars couldn't get him on the ground yesterday. Uh,
- 9:00Speaker 1: he just never seemed bothered by that defense. Well, I
- 9:04Speaker 1: mean he's he's big, strong and fast, there's no doubt
- 9:06Speaker 1: about that. But courageous stood in the pocket, was willing
- 9:10Speaker 1: to step up and make throws with everything coming around him.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Was impressed with investor Deck absolutely. All right, let's go
- 9:17Speaker 1: back to the locker room postgame, and here at Doug
- 9:19Speaker 1: Moron had to say about seven ejection we get, you know,
- 9:24Speaker 1: two players get injected, one of each team. Obviously um
- 9:29Speaker 1: with objective for throwing a punch. He came over the
- 9:32Speaker 1: sideline and obviously I talked to him. He's a captain.
- 9:35Speaker 1: He can't do that, you know. Obviously that's something that
- 9:37Speaker 1: hurts our team. You know, when we lose probably best
- 9:40Speaker 1: offensive player who was playing, you know, obviously at a
- 9:42Speaker 1: very high level. Now I know, I take it back.
- 9:47Speaker 1: I don't know whether anybody in the Jaguars organization is
- 9:50Speaker 1: thinking about taking the sea off of his chest. But
- 9:52Speaker 1: I've seen this all over social media this morning. It
- 9:55Speaker 1: will become a conversation that you're captain ran a cross
- 10:00Speaker 1: the field. So he's brought that conversation to himself. He's
- 10:04Speaker 1: brought the game on himself to himself and he's brought
- 10:07Speaker 1: a big fine to himself. So for all of what
- 10:10Speaker 1: he did on the field just today, and he looked
- 10:11Speaker 1: like a dominant offensive force today, it's all well and
- 10:18Speaker 1: what you hope And unfortunately this is a conversation that
- 10:22Speaker 1: we've had too often this season. Jalen Ramsey had the
- 10:26Speaker 1: tough day three weeks ago and it has appeared the
- 10:30Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, um as if he is changing
- 10:35Speaker 1: and learning from it a little bit. That's what you
- 10:37Speaker 1: hope happens with Leanard for net you need at this point.
- 10:40Speaker 1: What else is that with the Colts next week? You
- 10:42Speaker 1: certainly need to move forward? All right? Big thing too
- 10:45Speaker 1: is ineffective regarding Blake Bortles twelve three Ford twenty seven
- 10:50Speaker 1: yards was on until the third quarter that a wide
- 10:53Speaker 1: receiver had a reception. You had the Bills beating every
- 10:56Speaker 1: statistic except for passing yards portals. Thoughts on first and
- 11:00Speaker 1: goal and having to score there, Yeah, I don't know.
- 11:04Speaker 1: I mean it was one of those it shouldn't matter.
- 11:06Speaker 1: First and goal on the one yardline should score nine
- 11:08Speaker 1: times out of ten, or at least could a field goal.
- 11:10Speaker 1: So um, yeah, I'm not sure he even knows what
- 11:16Speaker 1: to say anymore. Yeah. He answered three questions in the
- 11:18Speaker 1: post game. It was a minute long yeah. And part
- 11:21Speaker 1: of the reason for that, I don't want again. Sometimes
- 11:24Speaker 1: when you say things like that, it sounds like he
- 11:26Speaker 1: was itching to get off. I believe he spoke when
- 11:30Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey was speaking, so I'm not sure how many
- 11:32Speaker 1: people were in there. I couldn't get over to the
- 11:34Speaker 1: Blake Boarders press conference, and I don't think a lot
- 11:36Speaker 1: of the media did, which is one reason why it's short.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Sometimes Oh oh, he didn't want to talk. That's not
- 11:42Speaker 1: who Blake is. Um. Yeah, I don't know. I uh,
- 11:46Speaker 1: I don't know. There's a different tone in his voice there, Yeah,
- 11:49Speaker 1: there was. I would say yeah, yeah, I'd say more resigned.
- 11:53Speaker 1: I was just about to use that exact I don't
- 11:55Speaker 1: think he knows the answer to it. Um. I always
- 11:58Speaker 1: hate to use the word regret action because if you've
- 12:01Speaker 1: watched this show, you know that. I believe last year
- 12:06Speaker 1: he played at a much higher let of people gave
- 12:08Speaker 1: him credit for early this season, I thought he got
- 12:11Speaker 1: a lot of criticism wrongly. Um. It seems like in
- 12:14Speaker 1: the last two or three weeks Brian that he is
- 12:17Speaker 1: really struggling not even playing as well as he had
- 12:20Speaker 1: in the past. So I'm not sure how you go
- 12:22Speaker 1: forward with it. Let me be fair just for a
- 12:23Speaker 1: moment um, Eric Flowers, Uh, Chris Reid, Tyler Shatley, his
- 12:31Speaker 1: offensive line right, his tight end is James O'Shaughnessy. It
- 12:35Speaker 1: should be Austin Sefari and Jenkins. The dynamic element of
- 12:38Speaker 1: the offense, Corey Grant is gone now that I don't
- 12:41Speaker 1: want to excuse the poor performance, and it was poor yesterday. Uh,
- 12:44Speaker 1: he missed receivers, he looked tentative. Uh, he didn't throw
- 12:48Speaker 1: the ball well. I mean everything that people saw I
- 12:50Speaker 1: do want to point out. I mean, we're going to
- 12:52Speaker 1: be fair about things about his press conference. He's not
- 12:55Speaker 1: playing with a lot And at the look the minute
- 12:58Speaker 1: that Morewell went out, they took Kyle Williams, who is
- 13:02Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl caliber defensive tackle and put him on
- 13:05Speaker 1: read and he just shoved him backwards. Just it was
- 13:08Speaker 1: done at that point. And so it isn't like he's
- 13:13Speaker 1: he is the only problem. But the passing attack two
- 13:17Speaker 1: straight weeks has been ineffective, is a nice way to
- 13:20Speaker 1: put it. You just can't forward, You can't I guess
- 13:24Speaker 1: That's why I tried to make the point that I
- 13:26Speaker 1: don't think this is necessarily um defines what he has
- 13:32Speaker 1: been what it is right now, we're a year ago,
- 13:37Speaker 1: We're we're getting ready to watch his best stretch of
- 13:39Speaker 1: football where he was the highest traded quarterback in football.
- 13:42Speaker 1: He beat the Colts, he beat the Texans, and I
- 13:45Speaker 1: mean he just took a part the Seahawks, and then
- 13:49Speaker 1: he didn't play very well against Buffalo in the playoff game.
- 13:53Speaker 1: He ran okay, but then when Ben Roethlisberger went wild
- 13:57Speaker 1: down seven he had an US every single time, whether
- 14:02Speaker 1: it was field goals or touchdowns, and then he had
- 14:04Speaker 1: them right on the brink of going to the Super Bowl,
- 14:08Speaker 1: right beating the Patriots. There, all of that said, that's
- 14:12Speaker 1: why they went forward with him this year, and he
- 14:14Speaker 1: validated that when guys were healthy early on, right, But
- 14:18Speaker 1: now with guys not healthy, it shows all of the
- 14:22Speaker 1: warts that are there, all of the blemishes that are there.
- 14:26Speaker 1: And yesterday you just felt like what they run for
- 14:30Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty yards in the first half, and
- 14:32Speaker 1: you just knew what the Bills were gonna do in
- 14:34Speaker 1: the second half. They were going to force him to
- 14:35Speaker 1: row well you felt. I mean, I'll be honest, most serious.
- 14:40Speaker 1: In the second half, I was looking at the binoculars
- 14:44Speaker 1: to see if Kessler was woman up. That wasn't sure.
- 14:47Speaker 1: And uh, you know, the only thing you can say
- 14:52Speaker 1: is and this is the question we'll get all week.
- 14:55Speaker 1: I don't know what Doug will say about it today.
- 14:57Speaker 1: I have I have no gut. I would. They did
- 15:00Speaker 1: make a change yesterday, so I'm assuming they go forward Blake. Um,
- 15:04Speaker 1: they see practice, they know who gives them the best chance,
- 15:10Speaker 1: so they must still feel that way if they're going
- 15:12Speaker 1: forward Blake, And I don't know. All right, let's be fair,
- 15:15Speaker 1: so Cody Kesler behind that offensive line is going to change.
- 15:19Speaker 1: Come on, right, there was a player early on. And um,
- 15:23Speaker 1: I think I do think it's got to the point
- 15:25Speaker 1: where Blake's pocket, pocket awareness and ability to avoid is
- 15:28Speaker 1: not what it was a few weeks ago. But it
- 15:30Speaker 1: may just be the avalanche is coming so hard they
- 15:32Speaker 1: can't do it well. And now, now, how are you
- 15:35Speaker 1: going to even be able to run the ball effectively
- 15:37Speaker 1: with the entire left side out. At least you had
- 15:39Speaker 1: Norwell over there, who was built to run block. Chatley
- 15:43Speaker 1: is a serviceable center, a guy that you can go with.
- 15:47Speaker 1: But now you're you're fourth left tackle, fourth left tackle,
- 15:52Speaker 1: a guard who, quite frankly, it is just not good enough,
- 15:56Speaker 1: and a center who is good when he's got everybody
- 15:59Speaker 1: around him and is playing on one leg. Now running
- 16:03Speaker 1: the ball is going to be a struggle, you see
- 16:05Speaker 1: what I mean, is going to change that. There was
- 16:07Speaker 1: a play early that showed you why they still have
- 16:10Speaker 1: man Uh, one of the defensive ends for the Bills,
- 16:13Speaker 1: had had portals dead right. He ducked out of it,
- 16:19Speaker 1: made a first down out of it. That's why he's
- 16:22Speaker 1: in because of that ability. And I'm not sure if
- 16:26Speaker 1: Kessler has that, but you know, and I kept in
- 16:31Speaker 1: the locker room, miss Stay thinking it was sort of
- 16:34Speaker 1: a repeat of the Pittsburgh situation where I'm listening to
- 16:36Speaker 1: guys who obviously are without answers, and I don't know
- 16:39Speaker 1: what the answer is. In a lot of places, right
- 16:41Speaker 1: questions are the same, the answers at the same right now.
- 16:44Speaker 1: But you saw the impact of Andrew Normal when he
- 16:47Speaker 1: came out of the game. The quickness that the Bill's
- 16:49Speaker 1: defensive line got to portals was right after night and day.
- 16:52Speaker 1: I mean, he looked up and that was it, I
- 16:54Speaker 1: would think, And I don't know what Josh Walker is.
- 16:56Speaker 1: He was inactive last week, last two weeks, has been active.
- 16:59Speaker 1: He got a foot issue. Those you can linger, Um,
- 17:03Speaker 1: I would think you want Josh Walker in there to
- 17:05Speaker 1: try to give yourself some power on the left side. Yeah,
- 17:08Speaker 1: just and he's more of a guard than he has attacked. Uh,
- 17:12Speaker 1: not great, Yeah, not great? All right. That leads us
- 17:15Speaker 1: into big thing three, which is injuries. Andrew normal. We
- 17:18Speaker 1: know he hurt his ankle. We're not sure if it's
- 17:19Speaker 1: a sprain or a break. We're gonna hear from dun
- 17:21Speaker 1: Brown around two five this afternoon to hear more about that.
- 17:25Speaker 1: But it's not just injuries to athletes that we're talking
- 17:27Speaker 1: about here. It's the injuries to the egos in the
- 17:30Speaker 1: confidence in seven straight losses, that's gonna do it to you.
- 17:33Speaker 1: We heard from Clay's Campbell post game. Yeah, you know,
- 17:37Speaker 1: I mean I've been a part of some funks where
- 17:39Speaker 1: you know, there's just things don't go well, you know,
- 17:42Speaker 1: you know, I just you know sometimes you kind of
- 17:44Speaker 1: know that you know, he's just don't half of the tanks, uh,
- 17:47Speaker 1: you know this one and stuff because you know we're
- 17:50Speaker 1: fore like the whole time before, we're going to break
- 17:51Speaker 1: out of it. Just won't play here, won't play there.
- 17:54Speaker 1: We're just can't break out of it. If if you
- 17:59Speaker 1: are taking the sea off of just put it right
- 18:02Speaker 1: next to the other one there. Because that guy has
- 18:04Speaker 1: been in the locker room when it is good, like
- 18:07Speaker 1: it was last year, and now when it's not just
- 18:10Speaker 1: a thought. Um, never have I seen Leonard from it.
- 18:13Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Leonard plays Campbell sit to be interviewed. He
- 18:17Speaker 1: always stands. Yesterday, I think it's telling that he sat.
- 18:22Speaker 1: He looked deflated. He didn't look energetic or confident or
- 18:25Speaker 1: optimistic like he has the past few losses. You shouldn't
- 18:27Speaker 1: talk to him, John, I mean when after you left, Ryan,
- 18:30Speaker 1: I was staying there with you, and after you left
- 18:32Speaker 1: I talked to him for a little more and Uh,
- 18:34Speaker 1: I wrote it in the view from Neo Zone for
- 18:36Speaker 1: the site this morning, for the first time he talked
- 18:39Speaker 1: about this sucks because I see he was still going
- 18:45Speaker 1: into games with the idea that you could make a
- 18:47Speaker 1: run and get in. Uh. And as delusional as that
- 18:50Speaker 1: might have sounded to outside or whatever, that was still
- 18:54Speaker 1: his thought. That was still he was operating from and
- 18:57Speaker 1: you had to know that was still the message that
- 18:59Speaker 1: he was sending to the rest of the team. Um,
- 19:02Speaker 1: and that was gone yesterday. So uh, I don't know
- 19:07Speaker 1: if it made me sad, but I certainly felt for
- 19:09Speaker 1: the guy because here's this guy who has been sort
- 19:13Speaker 1: of the symbol of all that has been good and
- 19:15Speaker 1: the resurgence last year now sort of having to accept that, hey, uh,
- 19:20Speaker 1: this one's over, and even if nobody else was still
- 19:24Speaker 1: believing he was. To me, that was sort of the
- 19:27Speaker 1: concession speech. If he's not putting that vibe out, it's
- 19:30Speaker 1: even more difficult to go where they were. We're we're
- 19:33Speaker 1: headed here into December with the Colts, a short week
- 19:37Speaker 1: with the Titans. The redskin stopped me. When you have
- 19:39Speaker 1: a team that's out of it, the Dolphins in the Texas,
- 19:41Speaker 1: I's gonna say you said it's difficult to go, it's
- 19:43Speaker 1: pretty easy to go with it looks like you're like,
- 19:45Speaker 1: they're going no, no, You've got you've got a gauntlet
- 19:49Speaker 1: of teams that are playing for something, and now you're
- 19:52Speaker 1: injured and your leader is drying to what this is right?
- 20:00Speaker 1: I think that you know it's absurd. They've plus seven
- 20:03Speaker 1: in a row and that's just a mind blowing concept. Uh,
- 20:07Speaker 1: they've got five left. I'm not saying they can't win
- 20:09Speaker 1: one of them. But if you cover the league and
- 20:13Speaker 1: been around it and observed it, you know that usually
- 20:16Speaker 1: December November games January games are about who wants it
- 20:21Speaker 1: versus who doesn't want it, and who needs it versus
- 20:24Speaker 1: who doesn't need it. The Jaguars are a team that
- 20:26Speaker 1: really doesn't need it going against five teams that do. Uh,
- 20:30Speaker 1: that makes getting one very very tough. The rest of
- 20:33Speaker 1: the way so difficult to go where they're going. Oh,
- 20:36Speaker 1: it's easy. I see the argument here. I see both sides.
- 20:40Speaker 1: That's where we're at. That's where we're at. This is
- 20:43Speaker 1: a Monday Jack's Drive Time, brought to you by Jet Homeowners.

- 22:52Speaker 1: You can join us obviously, uh send us thoughts via Twitter,
- 22:56Speaker 1: although I'll be honest, I'm not I don't want you can.
- 23:00Speaker 1: I just say so. I've been on the sideline a
- 23:01Speaker 1: couple of years now, and um, there's been some places where,
- 23:06Speaker 1: you know, fans really get into it. I've never been
- 23:08Speaker 1: to a place that is more abusive. They were me God,
- 23:14Speaker 1: the people in Buffalo were angry. Some guys told me
- 23:17Speaker 1: I sucked. Just that just it spews out of that,
- 23:22Speaker 1: and it's fueled by Labat's Blue. I mean, let's be honest.
- 23:25Speaker 1: I mean that crowd is they are cold or not,
- 23:28Speaker 1: and they start drinking on Friday afternoon it was a
- 23:31Speaker 1: raucous environment. I was I rarely shocked twenty five years
- 23:35Speaker 1: into this game, but I was shocked at some of
- 23:37Speaker 1: the things I heard. They were aggressive, and normally every
- 23:40Speaker 1: away game I get a John Osan's the Man from
- 23:43Speaker 1: someone in the stands, and I got none. So you
- 23:46Speaker 1: don't know anybody in Buffalo. So it was telling that
- 23:48Speaker 1: that's how angry they were. It is unusual when I'm
- 23:52Speaker 1: not lauded, right, that was with a telling thing from
- 23:55Speaker 1: me outside of your own home. I'm never lauded inside
- 23:59Speaker 1: are Let's do some highlights, all right, Let's start all
- 24:03Speaker 1: Buffalo Buffalo Bills. They started fast that offense second and
- 24:06Speaker 1: third drive of the game, touchdowns for the Bills, amstring
- 24:12Speaker 1: injuries was really developed into their most reliable and he
- 24:18Speaker 1: will stut the Buffalo touchdown to go out there by
- 24:25Speaker 1: himself on first to turn under heavy pussons. It's fast touchdown.
- 24:36Speaker 1: So two things. The first touchdown was just it's just
- 24:39Speaker 1: a great call. Sometimes in first quarters of games, you
- 24:45Speaker 1: get scheme, you figured out you come back that. It
- 24:47Speaker 1: invited me a whole lot. I'm not sure on that one.
- 24:51Speaker 1: It it looked like buried church. But I also heard
- 24:55Speaker 1: that it may not have been Church, it is more
- 24:57Speaker 1: of his own. There was confusion in the car where
- 25:00Speaker 1: obviously because he hesitated, it looked like Church was just
- 25:02Speaker 1: solely focused on Josh Allen. Didn't even see him running well.
- 25:05Speaker 1: And so many times when you don't know what the
- 25:07Speaker 1: call is, rather what the responsibilities are, what it appears
- 25:11Speaker 1: isn't always the case. But I mean, this is how
- 25:13Speaker 1: close they work. Smoot and Brian are all over Josh
- 25:18Speaker 1: Allen and he stood there and they couldn't get him
- 25:20Speaker 1: to the ground before he put the ball where his
- 25:22Speaker 1: receiver could go get it. Yeah, when the play first happened,
- 25:25Speaker 1: Brian from the press box, sometimes it looks different than
- 25:28Speaker 1: it does on TV, as you know from calling games
- 25:30Speaker 1: for you. I thought, at first, our angle is from
- 25:33Speaker 1: the back in that in that stadium, meaning we're in
- 25:36Speaker 1: the in the end zone, sort of the left. The
- 25:41Speaker 1: way the ball came out, I thought it was I
- 25:43Speaker 1: thought he had been hit and it had gone straight
- 25:44Speaker 1: up in the air. It was a split second before
- 25:46Speaker 1: you realize the trajectory was right. That's how close it was.
- 25:49Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be an interception, and then
- 25:51Speaker 1: all of a sudden it far from it wasn't. I mean,
- 25:54Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, Allan's got a long way to
- 25:56Speaker 1: go in the passing game. But with his tools and
- 26:00Speaker 1: the throws that he did make yesterday, Um, I was
- 26:04Speaker 1: impressed just his size, how trump it was to get
- 26:06Speaker 1: him down and he loves the game. You can tell
- 26:08Speaker 1: the way that he reacted. So I I think he's
- 26:10Speaker 1: gonna be I think they got a good one. They're
- 26:11Speaker 1: in Buffalo, all right, Let's go to the end of
- 26:13Speaker 1: the first quarter year down fourteen to nothing, Jaguars show
- 26:17Speaker 1: fight though that Bills could not stop the run in
- 26:19Speaker 1: the second half. Where did they go here? And started
- 26:22Speaker 1: three and four yet appears to have enough for the
- 26:27Speaker 1: first town And now they say touchdown again for n
- 26:35Speaker 1: and he is into the zone. And we showed some
- 26:38Speaker 1: highlights earlier because neither one of those runs are so
- 26:40Speaker 1: impressive outside of the fact that they got into the
- 26:43Speaker 1: end zone. He really ran the ball hard yesterday, got
- 26:47Speaker 1: them down into the red zone. He has much better
- 26:49Speaker 1: vision this year, John. I mean, if there's one thing
- 26:51Speaker 1: I'm going to point out where he really seems to
- 26:52Speaker 1: have gotten better is he sees the whole better. Now.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Last week against the Steelers, he missed the chance to
- 26:58Speaker 1: make a play. I get that, But yesterday he saw
- 27:01Speaker 1: the whole They've taken some coaching with Tyrone Wheatley and
- 27:05Speaker 1: in the screen game where I think he's a good player. Um,
- 27:09Speaker 1: just he's a tremendous, tremendous talent. Took himself out of
- 27:12Speaker 1: the game yesterday, Um, which is too bad. That's the move,
- 27:16Speaker 1: by the way, that if he had made it against
- 27:17Speaker 1: the other Steelers, the Jaguars win that game. As I said,
- 27:20Speaker 1: the I get your three and eight. Nothing feels good
- 27:23Speaker 1: to get don out of the game. If there is
- 27:26Speaker 1: a there's a positive to the last couple of weeks,
- 27:29Speaker 1: it's that he is starting to run. Like the fourth
- 27:33Speaker 1: overall pick in the draft. You can see what the
- 27:36Speaker 1: offense or what they thought the offense was going to be,
- 27:38Speaker 1: at least a a a smidge of it with the
- 27:42Speaker 1: running game. So you do feel like, again a lot
- 27:46Speaker 1: of people weren't sure at the end of last year
- 27:48Speaker 1: and the first part of this year what you had
- 27:50Speaker 1: in him. I think you feel better the last two
- 27:53Speaker 1: weeks about what you have in him. Then maybe he
- 27:55Speaker 1: did at the end of last season better. So they
- 27:58Speaker 1: finished the first half hundred seventy three yards. That's the
- 28:01Speaker 1: most since two thousand and six against the Colts. And
- 28:04Speaker 1: everyone was saying, where's the passing? Not a receiver has
- 28:06Speaker 1: caught the ball since the third quarter? Well here it is,
- 28:12Speaker 1: well play there, here's cart that's taking his shot going
- 28:14Speaker 1: to my creak. Isn't a catch my cream? Has it
- 28:19Speaker 1: for a touchdown? You're getting to play the royal short
- 28:24Speaker 1: of the don't line? Well, place the ball at the
- 28:26Speaker 1: one in the yard line first day? Okay? See now,
- 28:31Speaker 1: how is that not a touchdown? He hit the pylon
- 28:35Speaker 1: with his butt, he's in bounce. That's a touchdown one.
- 28:40Speaker 1: I mean, where's the ball at the one? Even if
- 28:44Speaker 1: it's at the one, you would you're its first in goal.
- 28:47Speaker 1: You gotta score there. I thought the call was correct.
- 28:51Speaker 1: I thought, um, I didn't put it so as Blake said,
- 28:58Speaker 1: you're at the one regards. And unfortunately, the call that
- 29:03Speaker 1: really killed him was the holding on Keeling cold that
- 29:06Speaker 1: took away the Westbrook touchdown. Uh, And that was the
- 29:08Speaker 1: correct call. They put them in a situation where I
- 29:13Speaker 1: didn't think they had a choice but to call the
- 29:15Speaker 1: holding on Keeling. So you're three and eighty. Let's move forward.
- 29:21Speaker 1: And show that drive just collapsing post Fornet fight ejection,
- 29:27Speaker 1: Amazing portals, Dicks six and a half, Sex for Hughes
- 29:34Speaker 1: or the season third and goal portals never had a chance.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Kyle Williams getting married for Buffalo and Williams makes the
- 29:44Speaker 1: big sack. Here's Lambole who has hit twenty eight story
- 29:50Speaker 1: from each sounder fifty and that street is over. I
- 29:55Speaker 1: don't want to say I called it because Lambou is
- 29:58Speaker 1: generally he's money. But you could just feel the momentum
- 30:01Speaker 1: and it was a wall at that point, and it
- 30:04Speaker 1: was storming against the Jaguars, and you just felt like, yeah,
- 30:08Speaker 1: now he'll miss this kick and then and then they'll
- 30:10Speaker 1: go down the field. I mean, you could just and
- 30:12Speaker 1: they're gonna go nuts. And that's kind of what happens
- 30:13Speaker 1: when you're you're in the middle of a losing streak.
- 30:15Speaker 1: You could see everything turning against you and if I
- 30:19Speaker 1: can do it now the players did too. That was awesome.
- 30:22Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys putting that sequence together. I really
- 30:24Speaker 1: enjoyed the colaps of the drive. Ye tell him the story.
- 30:29Speaker 1: That was awesome. All Right, we'll come back and we'll

- 32:27Speaker 1: Monday morning in Jacksonville. Jaguars Fae in Buffalo fall to
- 32:33Speaker 1: three and eight on the season. Maybe that's why the
- 32:35Speaker 1: sun is not quite We'll see h time for the
- 32:39Speaker 1: sunny side of life as we go to the Ozones
- 32:42Speaker 1: show the zone. Good Christ? Does that help after those hidelines? Yeah,
- 33:04Speaker 1: that's right, I'm so glad. We live to make you happy. John.
- 33:09Speaker 1: All right, let's go to mad our Mats from Sadsonville.
- 33:13Speaker 1: He's mad, He's mad in Sadsonville. Why are we so pathetic?
- 33:18Speaker 1: Really does demand an explanation. I'm not gonna lie laugh
- 33:20Speaker 1: when I read this fed first, My thirteen and fourteen
- 33:23Speaker 1: year old this morning came downstairs. Yeah, Dad, why did
- 33:28Speaker 1: the tag wars? Yeah? And that's what That's what it is.
- 33:34Speaker 1: You're you know, My first thought on this was, Okay,
- 33:38Speaker 1: why are you derispathetic? We deserving explanation? Well, that's what
- 33:41Speaker 1: we've been doing to explain for six seven weeks. But
- 33:44Speaker 1: it's it's the emotion of the moment. And when you
- 33:47Speaker 1: when you watch that yesterday, there are things that make
- 33:50Speaker 1: you think, oh, my goodness, how could it be this bad?
- 33:52Speaker 1: You know, Uh, when you see a passing game that
- 33:55Speaker 1: for a multitude of reasons can't function. Uh so the
- 34:00Speaker 1: wise there it goes back to injuries have waylaid everything
- 34:05Speaker 1: they wanted to do offensively. Um, that's to me, Brian,
- 34:09Speaker 1: that created the whole structure, or that I took away
- 34:14Speaker 1: the foundation and then uh, they have missed some opportunities
- 34:19Speaker 1: during this losing streak. Two have a better record than
- 34:24Speaker 1: they are, meaning they missed opportunities. The losing streak has
- 34:27Speaker 1: really been two different streaks. It was a three game
- 34:30Speaker 1: streak where they were just uncompetitive and in the last
- 34:33Speaker 1: four they could have won four and should have won
- 34:37Speaker 1: the last three. It should be a different season, and
- 34:39Speaker 1: they haven't quite had. You know, yesterday the maturity against Indianapolis.
- 34:45Speaker 1: That was in there too. There have been some missed
- 34:47Speaker 1: opportunities that they could have controlled. So uh, Jalen played
- 34:51Speaker 1: his worst game in Indianapolis. Um, and that made them
- 34:56Speaker 1: look pathetic, right, um, And then yesterday, and and not
- 35:02Speaker 1: just yesterday, the personal fouls in the third quarter against
- 35:05Speaker 1: the Jaguars, against the Steelers, right, and then yesterday the
- 35:10Speaker 1: two personal fouls on that drive and your captain running
- 35:13Speaker 1: across the field. It just feels undisciplined. It feels like
- 35:17Speaker 1: guys who are apathetic is probably strong word, but just
- 35:22Speaker 1: like spiling out of control. Yeah, just having lost their minds.
- 35:26Speaker 1: And and that's what I imagine Matt is really talking
- 35:29Speaker 1: about there. That's pathetic is the word that he chose
- 35:32Speaker 1: because he's so mad. But the reality of it is
- 35:35Speaker 1: it does demand an explanation. And you're right, we've we've
- 35:37Speaker 1: been explaining it. And if you look at it honestly,
- 35:40Speaker 1: you don't need a whole lot of explanation. You can
- 35:43Speaker 1: see what's played out here. All right, let's go to
- 35:45Speaker 1: Steve from Jacksonville. John this team finally looked like it
- 35:50Speaker 1: was on the cusp of a victory, but instead decided
- 35:53Speaker 1: they would rather fight and run their mouths, totally disgusted
- 35:56Speaker 1: with their performance and offseason accountability as rapidly approaching. Yeah,
- 36:02Speaker 1: I mean, and it's uh, perhaps a little unfair to
- 36:06Speaker 1: stay the whole team. I mean, yesterday really was Leonard
- 36:09Speaker 1: for Nett making a big mistake. Um, should they have
- 36:14Speaker 1: been further ahead all that stuff? Okay, maybe it shouldn't
- 36:17Speaker 1: have come down to that, but it did. In the NFL,
- 36:20Speaker 1: it often comes down to one or two things, and
- 36:23Speaker 1: that's what it was. So an off season of accountability. Um,
- 36:27Speaker 1: what he's really seeing is is he wants someone fired,
- 36:29Speaker 1: and he wants to know who's gonna get fired. That's
- 36:32Speaker 1: what That's what his question is. Accountability hides it and
- 36:34Speaker 1: I got a lot of that, and you're gonna get
- 36:36Speaker 1: a lot more over the next someone wants answers, and
- 36:40Speaker 1: what they mean is they want someone to get fired.
- 36:42Speaker 1: That is the nature of this business. What I would
- 36:45Speaker 1: hope a shot CON's m O. Since he bought. The
- 36:49Speaker 1: team has been typically to wait into the NASEE. He
- 36:52Speaker 1: didn't wait with with with I guess Bradley because it
- 36:55Speaker 1: became obviously that that was going to happen. Um My,
- 37:00Speaker 1: this is they will wait until after the season to decide,
- 37:05Speaker 1: because so I kind of said this several times and
- 37:08Speaker 1: I completely agree with him on this front. These sorts
- 37:11Speaker 1: of decisions are usually not best made in the heat
- 37:14Speaker 1: of the moment. You know, you want to have a discussion.
- 37:17Speaker 1: Even when gus Uh was let go, that was decided
- 37:22Speaker 1: before that Uh in a meeting where it was not
- 37:26Speaker 1: a heat of the moment decision. So I would expect
- 37:28Speaker 1: that to be the case. I don't know who, and
- 37:31Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna speculate on but there will be
- 37:33Speaker 1: changes to any number of different ways and people that
- 37:37Speaker 1: they do things. You can't go through a losing streak
- 37:40Speaker 1: with the expectations. I mean, I think that's the overriding
- 37:42Speaker 1: side of this. Is sure, the expectations for this team
- 37:45Speaker 1: were so high. You can't fall like they've fallen and
- 37:49Speaker 1: not change something. So they will. But we're going to
- 37:52Speaker 1: see a whole lot more of this in Twitter, Facebook,
- 37:55Speaker 1: the inbox, all of this that they'll hide it with
- 37:57Speaker 1: words like accountability, But what they're saying is who's going
- 38:00Speaker 1: to take the acts on this one? Expectations? It was
- 38:06Speaker 1: less than two months ago. This team was three and one,
- 38:09Speaker 1: less than two months and the quarterback had played really
- 38:11Speaker 1: well and had career games against both the Patriots and
- 38:14Speaker 1: the Jets. And you thought, okay, last two months, that
- 38:19Speaker 1: feels like the seventies. Yeah, that was me sitting next
- 38:26Speaker 1: to you pipe and all. Yeah, that was that was
- 38:31Speaker 1: years ago. I was just a one back then. Man,
- 38:35Speaker 1: your innocence is lost in professional football. Youre seven game losing.
- 38:39Speaker 1: Oh let's go yet admit it. By the way, I mean,
- 38:42Speaker 1: girls shows up here last year and they go to
- 38:44Speaker 1: the a f C championship games. She thinks that the
- 38:46Speaker 1: way that this goes. And now I'm to blame for
- 38:48Speaker 1: the losing Street to the NFL. She's the one who
- 38:51Speaker 1: you want accountability from. I guess point the finger at me.
- 38:54Speaker 1: I'll take it. All right, Let's go to George Savannah, Georgia.
- 38:58Speaker 1: The mantra Blake gives us the best chance to win
- 39:01Speaker 1: is becoming tiresome. Yeah, I mean it's it's uh, but
- 39:08Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to go away from that
- 39:10Speaker 1: because he can run and get away from trouble. And
- 39:12Speaker 1: the offensive line is in a situation right now with
- 39:15Speaker 1: Eric Flowers the fourth left tackle. Someone's gonna play left guard.
- 39:19Speaker 1: I don't know whether it's it's Chris Reed or if
- 39:21Speaker 1: Josh Walker goes back in there. Tyler Shatley's your backup center.
- 39:25Speaker 1: And as you mentioned, a j cann is a hamstring issue. UM,
- 39:29Speaker 1: I can only imagine he getted it out yesterday. He did,
- 39:34Speaker 1: he did. People want to change at some point. I
- 39:39Speaker 1: would be surprised at this point if Blake Bortle starts
- 39:42Speaker 1: every game the rest of the season. UM, not shocked,
- 39:44Speaker 1: but surprised. But that ability and experience and escapability behind
- 39:55Speaker 1: this offensive line right now, I would think is the
- 39:59Speaker 1: reason that you keep him in. UM. Although frankly, Brian,
- 40:04Speaker 1: considering the last two weeks and the inaccuracy, I would
- 40:07Speaker 1: think it's got to be a discussion. I think the
- 40:10Speaker 1: discussion will come down for Blake, but I think it's
- 40:11Speaker 1: got to be seriously discussed, because what do you have
- 40:13Speaker 1: to lose at this point. Uh? Well, never ever, ever,
- 40:18Speaker 1: Ashland say that it can't get worse, because it always can.
- 40:23Speaker 1: It can but in my life prime example, Yeah, you
- 40:29Speaker 1: hesitate to do it because at this point of the season,
- 40:31Speaker 1: when you pull him out, you're done. You're done with
- 40:34Speaker 1: him at that point. The next season, you've got to
- 40:37Speaker 1: move him off your roster. You've got to drop I mean,
- 40:40Speaker 1: and and people out there watching they're saying, well, you
- 40:42Speaker 1: gotta do that anyway. Okay, yeah, after yesterday especially, I'm
- 40:46Speaker 1: more with you one this one. But when you do it,
- 40:49Speaker 1: Kessler's in the rest of the season, and then the
- 40:51Speaker 1: off season becomes this and there are enough, especially with
- 40:57Speaker 1: the Leonard stuff from yesterday, there's enough going on right now.
- 41:01Speaker 1: You don't necessarily want to do that. And I'll caution
- 41:03Speaker 1: everyone again with the offensive line the way it is,
- 41:06Speaker 1: and you don't have Julio Jones out there to save
- 41:08Speaker 1: you were the tight end to help Cody Kesler is
- 41:11Speaker 1: not going to come in and have a magic wand
- 41:12Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I just don't see it. So
- 41:17Speaker 1: even if he does go in, be careful. What you
- 41:18Speaker 1: wish for, yes, yes, is that in I say that
- 41:24Speaker 1: because I cut you short in the highlights in the
- 41:26Speaker 1: last one, and I want to cut you short again.
- 41:27Speaker 1: Will he won't. He might Okay, so we're gonna pay
- 41:30Speaker 1: this one off. John. You had Carlos hide, and for
- 41:33Speaker 1: as much as they gave him the ball, he you
- 41:36Speaker 1: saw that one two punch yesterday that they've been thinking
- 41:38Speaker 1: they were going to get. And again it looks more
- 41:42Speaker 1: and more like, Um, I don't know what the offense
- 41:45Speaker 1: I'll be going forward next year. It's got to make
- 41:48Speaker 1: efforts to become much more dynamic in the passing game.
- 41:51Speaker 1: But it's also unrealistic to think that with Leonard Fournette
- 41:53Speaker 1: and your roster that you aren't going to try to
- 41:56Speaker 1: be a running team. I thought the hide move when
- 41:59Speaker 1: they made it was less about the immediate and more
- 42:05Speaker 1: about them looking and saying, okay, with with Leonard Fournett
- 42:08Speaker 1: and this roster, with his uncertainly bad injuries, we need
- 42:11Speaker 1: something as a backup for the long term to make
- 42:14Speaker 1: sure that this will work. I think he has been
- 42:17Speaker 1: showing that that was a good move. Um so, yeah,
- 42:21Speaker 1: I already played well. He had in the first half.
- 42:24Speaker 1: He was a reason did it look so dynamic? All right?
- 42:27Speaker 1: I had unique in gock Way. Not my best pick,
- 42:31Speaker 1: I will say, I said he will have a big game.
- 42:34Speaker 1: He didn't know he did not have a big game,
- 42:36Speaker 1: but the first play affter the Jags didn't score first
- 42:38Speaker 1: in goal, you get a face max penalty fifteen yards
- 42:41Speaker 1: completely avoidable. And then this morning we were watching some
- 42:43Speaker 1: of the highlights Brian and I from Patrick Kavanaugh. You
- 42:45Speaker 1: see the Josh Allen rushing touchdown and he just gets
- 42:48Speaker 1: completely Yeah, and look, Josh Allen is a really big
- 42:52Speaker 1: guy and Unique may have been going for the ball
- 42:55Speaker 1: more than to try to bring the quarterback down. There
- 42:57Speaker 1: were a couple of times where it appeared like Josh
- 42:59Speaker 1: Allen just just brushed him off. There was by the
- 43:01Speaker 1: way to play where he got stiff armed. So yeah,
- 43:05Speaker 1: we keep waiting for Unique, because's such a dynamic playmaker
- 43:07Speaker 1: to come through. And yesterday against that guy who's six
- 43:10Speaker 1: ft six nearly six seven and all of two six pounds,
- 43:15Speaker 1: that it wasn't coming. He exposed him. I said, he
- 43:17Speaker 1: won't lack intensity, which he didn't, but his intensity can
- 43:20Speaker 1: hurt him at times. I went with a J. Boyer,
- 43:22Speaker 1: and I thought a J. Boyer played as well as
- 43:26Speaker 1: he has all season long. There were times when it
- 43:29Speaker 1: looked as if he was running the route for the receiver.
- 43:32Speaker 1: Now again you have a rookie quarterback, and he wasn't
- 43:35Speaker 1: necessary the most accurate. But there was one play I
- 43:38Speaker 1: thought in the first half that a j ran the
- 43:40Speaker 1: route and was going to get the interception. Maybe it
- 43:42Speaker 1: was the opening drive and take the first play, Yeah,
- 43:45Speaker 1: it was. It was really early in the game. You know,
- 43:47Speaker 1: he missed a little time with the with the calf injury.
- 43:50Speaker 1: He did not was not playing well early in the season.
- 43:52Speaker 1: He was not playing the Pro Bowl, you know, cusp
- 43:55Speaker 1: of Old Pro like he was last year. But on
- 43:59Speaker 1: Sunday in Buffalo, when people weren't paying attention to him,
- 44:03Speaker 1: he was playing a terrific game. And that's an important development, Brian,
- 44:06Speaker 1: because he's gonna be back. His contract is such that
- 44:09Speaker 1: he's going to be back. Not everybody that people have
- 44:13Speaker 1: heard of fall into that category, but you're gonna have
- 44:17Speaker 1: him and Jon Ramsey as your two corners next year.
- 44:20Speaker 1: For him to have seemingly he had gotten through what
- 44:23Speaker 1: everyone's going on early in the season to be playing
- 44:25Speaker 1: better is important because this might be the only two
- 44:27Speaker 1: guys in your secondary back in terms of the starters. Yeah,
- 44:30Speaker 1: and you know, he's not the same uh brash, uh
- 44:36Speaker 1: bravado filled guy that jalen Is. But when he's playing confident, Um,
- 44:41Speaker 1: he does bring an energy to that defense. They they
- 44:44Speaker 1: feel like with those two guys outside, they can do
- 44:47Speaker 1: a lot of different things up the middle. Um, it
- 44:50Speaker 1: was good to see. Good to see. So that's he
- 44:52Speaker 1: will he won't. Team might pay off for Friday when
- 44:54Speaker 1: we return a few headlines, some final thoughts will wrap
- 44:57Speaker 1: up Monday brought to you by Jet Homelands. Here on

- 46:41Speaker 1: called Partners of your Jacksonville Jaguars. Welcome back Monday morning.
- 46:49Speaker 1: Jaguars fall for the seventh consecutive week. We're all still
- 46:53Speaker 1: just scratching our head about that. And then we see this, right?
- 46:57Speaker 1: Did I not lead off with Leonard for Nett was
- 47:00Speaker 1: the player of the game before he gets tossed, and
- 47:03Speaker 1: yet of our respondents say that he is still the
- 47:08Speaker 1: player again. I don't know whether that's because they admire
- 47:10Speaker 1: the bravado of running across the field or they just
- 47:13Speaker 1: recognized he really was playing at a very high level.
- 47:16Speaker 1: It's a no brainer that he is. I'm voting for D. D. Westbrook,
- 47:20Speaker 1: who you know, had the forty three yard um uh
- 47:23Speaker 1: run around the end. I scored the touchdown in the
- 47:26Speaker 1: fourth cord but also was a factor on punt returns,
- 47:28Speaker 1: gave the Jagguerson field position. You know, I can't I
- 47:31Speaker 1: can't click for Leonard after getting tossed out of the game.
- 47:34Speaker 1: I just can't remember us talking on the sidelines Brian,
- 47:36Speaker 1: that we were talking about D. D. Westbrook and we
- 47:38Speaker 1: were saying, give him the ball more. You know, he's
- 47:40Speaker 1: having a good day. Keep going to him, you know. Um.
- 47:44Speaker 1: For as much as you just want to put your
- 47:45Speaker 1: head in your hands about the offense right now, there
- 47:49Speaker 1: are some things that you can count on, some things
- 47:51Speaker 1: that you can look at going forward. I think DJ
- 47:53Speaker 1: Shark and D. D. Westbrook are the two guys in
- 47:56Speaker 1: the receiving corps. I've lost all confidence in keeling hole
- 48:00Speaker 1: at this point. But but those and we had high
- 48:02Speaker 1: expectations for him by the way. Um, but those two
- 48:04Speaker 1: guys showed you something yesterday. Yeah, but he's not going
- 48:07Speaker 1: to be back. I mean he was one year, nine
- 48:09Speaker 1: million dollar deals. So but those two guys, Um, you've
- 48:13Speaker 1: got a couple of guys on the offensive line. Let's
- 48:15Speaker 1: say you know Linda Robinson and um uh norwell Ran.
- 48:21Speaker 1: You've got two running backs that you think very highly of.
- 48:24Speaker 1: You've got some pieces you can if you do it right,
- 48:28Speaker 1: you can you can be competitive again offensively. And I
- 48:32Speaker 1: know everyone's going, oh a rookie quarterbay Baker Mayfield yesterday
- 48:35Speaker 1: looked to riff four touchdown passes. Absolutely, and I hear
- 48:41Speaker 1: that even though he's there's a bad team around him,
- 48:44Speaker 1: that the rosing kid is impressing them on the practice
- 48:46Speaker 1: field in Arizona. So those young quarterbacks give those cities,
- 48:49Speaker 1: those franchises something to feel really good about. The one
- 48:53Speaker 1: thing you think, and it does feel a little this
- 48:58Speaker 1: year as if with the with the changing in the rules,
- 49:05Speaker 1: that we may be seeing the beginnings of young quarterbacks
- 49:09Speaker 1: being able to come in and play at a higher
- 49:11Speaker 1: level a little more quickly than they were in the past.
- 49:14Speaker 1: System quarterbacks too. I mean when we had you ever
- 49:17Speaker 1: seen a Texas Tech quarterback come into the NFL and run,
- 49:21Speaker 1: you know, because they ran that air raid where all
- 49:22Speaker 1: Day threw. But you know, Andy Reid put some weapons
- 49:25Speaker 1: around this kid, and and you know it's gonna be
- 49:27Speaker 1: It's going to be the right player, with the right
- 49:30Speaker 1: system and the right coach to make all that happen.
- 49:34Speaker 1: They've got to figure out all of those things, you know,
- 49:37Speaker 1: and how to make it work. It's going to be
- 49:40Speaker 1: a monstrous lift this offseason. Yeah, yeah, it's it's going
- 49:43Speaker 1: to be far more interesting, I think than than any
- 49:46Speaker 1: of us thought that it would be. Okay, how about
- 49:47Speaker 1: a couple of headlines from around the National Football League. Here,
- 49:50Speaker 1: we'll wrap up a Monday show brought to you by
- 49:52Speaker 1: Jed Homelands. In the fact, really please don't maybe it
- 49:56Speaker 1: looks like the netfold now here. How about Aaron Rodgers.
- 49:59Speaker 1: Remember two thousand and sixteen, he came back from the
- 50:01Speaker 1: broken collar bone. They were four and six, they made
- 50:04Speaker 1: the playoffs. He is saying the exact same thing this
- 50:07Speaker 1: morning after they've lost for the fourth time in the
- 50:09Speaker 1: last five games and fall into four, six and one. Uh,
- 50:13Speaker 1: they have not missed the postseason in consecutive seasons with Rogers.
- 50:18Speaker 1: How about this, though they're o and six on the road,
- 50:21Speaker 1: they gotta run the table now and they've got a
- 50:23Speaker 1: couple of road games. So oh and six with the
- 50:25Speaker 1: best quarterback in football. Well, maybe he's not the best
- 50:29Speaker 1: quarterback in but I think most people recognize him as
- 50:33Speaker 1: being right at the very cusp. You have a Packers
- 50:36Speaker 1: team that has just been really bad this year, really bad.
- 50:41Speaker 1: Um up next, Melvin Gordon has an m c L injury.
- 50:46Speaker 1: This morning, they're up. They run this reverse and Anthony Lynn,
- 50:49Speaker 1: who's a guy I know pretty well from the time
- 50:51Speaker 1: when he was here, said in the postgame news conference, Well,
- 50:54Speaker 1: they've been working on this thing on on the practice
- 50:56Speaker 1: field and Melvin loved it. But up ten against a
- 51:01Speaker 1: Cardinals team that you know is not coming back on you.
- 51:03Speaker 1: How about this Gordon playing on the West Coast, and
- 51:06Speaker 1: I get the people with fantasy football probably knows averaging
- 51:09Speaker 1: five point two yards per carring, he's had a great year. Yeah,
- 51:11Speaker 1: he's got thirteen total touchdowns, almost undred total yards, and
- 51:15Speaker 1: now he might be down for a time with an
- 51:17Speaker 1: m c L jury. By the way, Philip Rivers yesterday
- 51:20Speaker 1: completed his first passes finished twenty twenty nine, which is
- 51:24Speaker 1: a new NFL record for completion percentage in the game.
- 51:26Speaker 1: You think he does that without Melvin Gordon. As good
- 51:28Speaker 1: as the Chiefs have been, Um, the Charges aren't out
- 51:33Speaker 1: of this thing yet. And they they look like one
- 51:36Speaker 1: of those teams to me, it's gonna get overlooked all
- 51:38Speaker 1: season and might be the surprise team in the playoff. Well,
- 51:41Speaker 1: they got Joey Bosa back and he had a big
- 51:42Speaker 1: sack yesterday too, So they're playing pretty well on both
- 51:45Speaker 1: sides of the ball, and and they're well coached, and
- 51:47Speaker 1: they got Rivers. They got Rivers. How about this Lamar
- 51:51Speaker 1: Jackson in the starting lineup? Will he leave it the
- 51:55Speaker 1: Joe Flacco led Ravens had lost three in a row.
- 51:58Speaker 1: He's got the hip injury. That's a you know, two
- 52:01Speaker 1: to four week injury according to the media up there.
- 52:05Speaker 1: Uh Now, Jackson's in has led them to back to
- 52:08Speaker 1: back wins, and they're thinking maybe he just stays in
- 52:13Speaker 1: the line. If they've gone from they've gone from the
- 52:15Speaker 1: cusp of the playoffs to there today sitting in the
- 52:17Speaker 1: sixth seed, dynamic runner. He ran for seventy one yards.
- 52:20Speaker 1: We knew that about him and had a touchdown, had
- 52:22Speaker 1: a touchdown, passing two interceptions yesterday. He's gonna be what
- 52:25Speaker 1: he's gonna be as a passing quarterback in his rookie season. Um,
- 52:29Speaker 1: although there's no question in the arm strength, um, But
- 52:33Speaker 1: the guy he makes plays and it's fun to watch.
- 52:35Speaker 1: And in Baltimore they've got something that at least resembles
- 52:39Speaker 1: a quarterback and honest to goodness quarterback conversation right now,
- 52:43Speaker 1: and uh, if not an allowed controversy, But doesn't it
- 52:46Speaker 1: feel like the Colts are going to be the team
- 52:50Speaker 1: that gets into six and five? I mean, five consecutive
- 52:54Speaker 1: wins and U and luck is just so best. This
- 52:59Speaker 1: this sun nay if you want to spoil something, And
- 53:04Speaker 1: they had the chance to to slice apart this winning
- 53:08Speaker 1: streak a couple of weeks ago and Rashad Green fumbled
- 53:10Speaker 1: And it's been a weird week. It's been a weird month.
- 53:13Speaker 1: It's been a weird two months, three and one. At
- 53:17Speaker 1: the end, it's a weird life. I thought I should
- 53:21Speaker 1: just bring it up. Who who's John? Yeah, it sounds
