• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Jeff Warris that you don't. Jack Warris, that you don't.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Jack Warres Drive to him right and sex texted Jack
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Warres Drive tell him starts right now. Just from confidence
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: of feeling again to just being his team being a captain.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: You know, I think that's a big jump because you
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: know that the guys in the locker room are supporting
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: you and they want you to succeed, opposed to you know,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: wishing that you know somebody else's quarterback and things like that.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: So I think that's the biggest thing, and that's transfer
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: on the field translates to the field because you know,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: when you're dropping back, everybody the team wants you to succeed.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: So I think that's the biggest thing in the confidence
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: that he has. Quarterback gardnerments you voted he was captain,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: giving a guy who already has a lot of confidence
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: even more confidence going into Week one. Welcome into Jaguars
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Drive Time Thursday morning, preparing for game week here with
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Brian Sexton and John Osier. Guys, there is football tonight
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Division opponent Chiefs Texans. Brian looking at the Texans, what
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: are you gonna be looking for tonight? Uh? How well,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson plays without DeAndre Hopkins. The word on him
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: was that as long as Hopkins was on the field,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: then Watson was a killer, but that he wasn't quite
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the same quarterback without Hopkins. Obviously, the Texans have had
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: this entire offseason to recalibrate the offense to get their
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: quarterback comfortable. They just they made his bank account quite
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: comfortable the other day. So my eyes are on him
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to when I watched the Texans. Yes, very excited to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: finally watch a football game tonight, Thursday Night Football as
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: we get into big things preparing for our game on
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Sunday against the Colts. Big thing one is all the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: dice do as you wish with the depth chart. But
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: it has been released that running back James Robinson will
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: be the starting back on Sunday. I spoke to him
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: last night on IV Live. Very quiet, reserve guy that
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: solely wants to focus on football, and he definitely has
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: impressed his teammates in his offensive coordinator so far. He's
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a no nonsense guy, he really is. He is. Uh.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I try to get under a skin a little bit.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I asked him if he's nervous every day. He's a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: very poised individual, No nonsense, he's ready to go. You know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: we'll see when Sunday hits. The first time we give
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: him the ball, the first time there's a third and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: one or we gotta get a yard, we'll see how
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: he does. But we have every indication that we've seen
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: a training camp that he can handle it. He can
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: handle the workload if he's strung. He's tough, he's strong,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: he's got great vision, you can explode through holes. We've
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: been impressed with him. Uh so, uh. You know, Unfortunately,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: we haven't had the preseason games really look at him
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: in live situations. We've got a couple in practice, but
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: they're still not the same. But I feel like I
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: feel very confident in his demeanor and his approach to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the game that he will be ready. Speaking of the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: running game, big thing too is Ben brothly occurred this
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: all off season long that the Jaguars coaching staff is
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: extremely confident in this offensive line, the most experience group
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: on the team. We're finally going to see what that
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: really means on Sunday. They possibly could be a reason proptingson. Yeah,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you always have to have hope, otherwise you're in the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: wrong business. You know we're very optimistic go under the season.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: We know we have a lot of challenges. We had
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: some youth plan, but really I think the biggest UH
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: reason for belief that I have is the offensive line.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I think the offensive line UH is very solid right
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: now with the tackles that we have, interior players and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: obviously the center I feel good about. So with the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: offensive line, it gives you the ability to do a
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: lot of different things, I think, and hopefully we'll give
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: us a chance to get our skilled players the ball
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: in space and between the tackles and do some good things.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: And let's go over to the defensive side of the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: ball for big thing three, and that is coverage. Looking
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: at the secondary on Sunday and how they will face
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: guys like Paris Campbell and t Y Hilton, very talented cults,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: wide receivers. Big test for them. C. J. Henderson starting
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: at corner. Josh Jones, the guy you're seeing right there
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: in Jaguars dot Com Live starting at safety. Two guys
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: we have not seen on the real game, live action
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: field for the Jaguars, So very curious to see what
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the secondary looks like in a tough test in Week one.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: But let's go back up. The big thing one guys,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I guess I'll start with you John. Very quiet, reserved
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: guy is James Robinson. Definitely no nonsense. And the biggest
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: thing I was trying to get out of him is
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: these past couple of months, going from an undrafted free agent,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: really didn't know much about him. As the weeks went on,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: we started noticing him. Now he's getting ready to start
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: in his first NFL game. I can only imagine what
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: these greame months have been like for him. But he
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: seems just ready to go, no worries. Yeah, I'm ready,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: No big deal. Well, it's his first NFL game of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: any time, I mean, and because of the nature of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: training camp, it's gonna be the first time that he's
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: been tackled to the ground in like a ten minute
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: ron if you will. Because practice is very light, so
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: they always talk about the speed of the game, the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: impact of the game, sort of going up in stages, camp, practice, preseason.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Right this season, it's gonna be a shock to the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: system to a degree. You know, for a lot of
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: guys with viscus enal, you know, this is gonna be
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: their first NFL action. For him, specifically, it's even more
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: beload divine his eg bows being placed on I R
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: in the last few minutes. So James Robinson and uh
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Chris Thompson are the guys, But James Robinson is the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: guy who's gonna They're gonna be turning around handing him
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the ball. The good news. The one thing you can
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: take from is a rookie. Free agents can do this
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: at the running back position. B. He carried a lot
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: in college. I don't care what the level is. He
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: was the bell cow back yards, forty four touch stands.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: He's used to being the guy. He's going to be
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the guy on Sunday. Ryan. Um, I'm gonna tell you
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: guys the same thing that I just got done telling
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the Pontra Vidra Beach Rotary Club when I got the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: question about the Jaguars running backs, and in particular about
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: James Robinson. I don't know, right, I don't know for
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the reasons that you just enumerated. Um, you can't tell
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: on the practice field. You you can see glimpses of
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: a guy's feet of his vision, but you can't tell
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: until he gets hit and bounces back up how many
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: times you can carry the ball. I'm excited to see
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: him play that kind of production. Four thousand, four d,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: forty four yards and forty four touchdowns. I mean, I'm
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: excited that it's equal eleven eleven eleven over four years.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I can remember that. Um, but this is a guy
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: who kind of looks like he might be fun to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: watch and it's all new. I'm excited to me, Slynn,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: tell us what your conversation like it. When I heard
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Jake Ruben say, here's no nonsense, I can't get him
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to smile, I thought, good luck with that. I g Lidgelyn.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: It was a little difficult to get him going. I'm
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: not gonna lie, but you could tell how passionate he
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: was about football, because once we started talking about the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: actual game and him as a running back, he definitely
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: opened up. The biggest thing I took away was we
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: talked about his vision, because I remember talking to Chris
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Thompson about a month ago and he said the biggest
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: thing that stood out with James Johnson when he is
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: he had never seen vision vision with a running back
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: like with him, and James was telling me that he's
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: watched Lady on Bell his entire life. He thinks the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: biggest thing that goes underrated with running backs is patients.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: A lot of times we think of running backs ground
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and pounds spass right away, like that's not how I play.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I wait, I see, I look, I'm patient, and that's
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: what I've had success with so far in my college career.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So very interest to see what it's like in the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: league for him, And I thought that was interesting. I've
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: never talked to running back about that, and he seemed
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: a definitely wise beyond his years, that he already understanding
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: at this level. Nothing you guys got nothing from him.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: My thing just hiccuped him. So I didn't hear what
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you asked. Wouldn't you ask if he has the vision
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: of Levy on Bell. They're in good shape, and vision
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: is very important for a running back. He certainly sounds,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: from listening to you and from listening to coaches, like
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a guy who is mature and ready for this, as
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: ready as he can be coming from his level. Again,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: my instinct is that he'll do fine. I don't think
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be a significant drop off from Leonard for neet,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: because I'm not sure Leonard Farnett was playing at a
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: great level. So I think this guy will be fine
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: if he can make the adjustment, and that's what we're
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: all watching for on Sunday. Can these young guys make
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the adjustment. There's sixteen rookies. Here's where where Leonard was
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: very effective last year, and that was as a receiver.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Obviously with seventy six receptions. I guess that goes to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Chris Thompson. We're going to find out on the Sunday
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: if that's part of James Robinson's game as well. Sixteen
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: rookies on this roster, looking for a lot of them
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to make an immediate impact on Sunday games. The Colts
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and those are big things. When we come back, we're
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: talking much more about about the Colts with Mike Chappell

  Speaker 1: for a big divisional matchup to start the NFL season
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: for the Jaguars this Sunday, Jaguars versus Pults. As we
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: go live to Indianapolis with Poults Reporter Mike Chapel with
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: CBS and Fox. Up there, Mike, how are you doing?
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining us, So good to thanks
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: for having me. Of course, I think the biggest thing
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: when looking at the Colts is the new quarterback Philip Rivers.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I can only imagine that this town is so excited
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to finally see him in game action. How is he
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: looked in camp? What are you expecting from him? I mean,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: he is the overarching biggest question. He is. They made
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of moves in the offseason, but but the
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: one that's gonna have the biggest impact is Philip Rivers.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Is he the two thousand and eighteen version when he
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: was you know, top top five, top six in the
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: league or was it last year when he had twenty
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: three touchdowns twenty interceptions and they went was it five
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: and eleven? So? And and he's thirty eight? I mean, quarterbacks,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: unless you're Tom Brady or Grew Brees, you don't continue
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: to play at this level generally, So so much of
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: what they want to do in they can do depends
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: on which Philip Rivers they've gotten. You know, myke, the
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Colts had a pretty strong personality with guys like Quentin
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Nelson and Darius Leonard, and now you bring Philip Rivers in,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: who has always been the personality of that Chargers team.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: How's it been from a locker room standpoint? Is he
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and quarterbacks are always the leader obviously, but as he
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: had to step in and give this team a shot
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: of his own personality or is he just fit in. Well,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I think he does that just by his personality. One
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: thing that's kind of notable is that he was voted
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: one of the team captains by the players. This is
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: this wasn't a coaching decision, so it tells you right
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: away that. And this is on top of no offseason work.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: As far as hands hands on together, this was virtual.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: So they've sort of seen early on what he's meant
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: to him, what he brings, and anyone who's watched Rivers play,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: he just brings enthusiasm. He was asked about playing you
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: know in front of stadiums, there won't be a lot
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: of and he said, I'm a guy who are playing
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: in the backyard with no one around. So he is
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: what he So far, he appears to be what he's been.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: We'll see if that's what what it is in the
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: field again, because this team needs him to do more
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: than Yakobe Brissette didn't do last year. If he does,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: there there a playoff quality team since um the Jaguars
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and Colts have been in the same division going back
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: to two thousand to Mike, the Colts personality has always
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: been throw the ball all over the field. They've had
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: some great quarterbacks. Um, all of a sudden, now they've
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: got a tremendous running game, and I'm curious if that
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: personality has changed. I'm on the personality question today. But
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: if you see this is a run first team, well,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Dr Phil uh, yeah, I would think that this used
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: to be. Again, this was Peyton Manning and Andrew luck
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and three yards, three touchdowns, and they have that they
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: they've taken on a different mindset approach with the offensive line.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: That their offensive line is one of the best in
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the league. We can argue where it ranks in the league.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: But three first round picks with Costanzo, left tackle, Nelson
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: and left guard and and Ryan Kelly who is now
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the highest paid center in the league. And they just
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: did re up Costanzo for thirty three million, so and
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Bradon Smith's the second is a second round pick. So
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: they they've really decided under Ballard that it does start
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: up front, offensive line, defensive line, and the by product
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: thus far last year they were they were seventh in
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the league in rushing with Marlon Mack at his first
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: house in the yard season and he's only twenty four.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: So what do they do. They go out and get
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor out of Wisconsin, who one of the most
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: productive backs in college history. Uh, we've we've always wandered
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: with with Raich and Nick Sirianni. How are you going
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to make this one two punch work? They say, it's
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: a one one punch and full number one backs. We'll see.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: You know, you're only gonna run the ball, you know,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: probably thirty five times a game. So how do you
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: divide it up? But this is a team that until
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: you prove you can stop the run, they're gonna trying
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: to jam it down your throat. Well, you got my
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: vote for number one offensive line in the league. If
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: there's a group better than this one, I don't know
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: what it is. They're tremendous. And again it's it's that's
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: where they wanted to start. And these guys are under
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: contract through one and it's crazy that maybe maybe your
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: best player top to bottom is Quentin Nelson guard, you know,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: And I don't know whether that's good or bad. I've
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: always taken your approach, you know. You Howard med the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: long time the late long time coach position to go
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to the Colts all just used to make due with guards,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: not to diminish the players, but you had the people
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: on the outside. You have just already in the middle,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and you sort of made do it guards. Well, now
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: they're saying, we're gonna really invests. They read Mark Lewinskin's
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the right guard doing extension last year, and Quintin Nelson's
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: a two time first team All Pro and in for
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: for that to be your best player not only on
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the field, but the mindset he brings and on the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: field where they every week there's highlights of pancakes and
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: all that, which is great, but what he brings to
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the offense in the mood he says, that's what this
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: they want this entire team to be. Well, he's one
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: of those few players at that position, or at safety
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: or any of those positions that aren't considered premium. I
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: have watched obviously since he signed on in Indianapolis, and
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: he's transformed the mindset there. You can just see it
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: when they walk out of the tunnel. One guy who's
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: been a little bit overlooked, I think nationally because there's
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: been so much conversation about Philip Rivers is de Forrest
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: buckner Um, a guy who's played at very high level
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: all in his time in the NFL. It was a
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: big trade near the draft. What what's your thought on
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: him and how he's fit in and how the Colts
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: planned to deploy him. Well, again, that tells you where
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Battards putting his actions to for his work actually words
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: to actions on it starts up front. This is a
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: guy who one of his great quotes is I love
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: them draft picks. Well, this guy who loves them draft
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: picks gave up their pick for a defensive tackle for
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: a three technique He automatically it's I've covered this team
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: since they've been here, and I was thinking he's the
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: best defensive tackle since And you can ask John Oser,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I can't come up with a who is better than
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: because they've not had that dominant tackle. We've had Freenyan
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Mathis and some really good, uh you know, edge players.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: But they think the three technique drives this defense. They
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: expect him to be that disruptive forces inside. And then
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you you add him to Justin Houston, who you should
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: double digit sex. Nico Autfrey headed down your last year,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: but it's really strong year before Tae Kwon Go was
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the second round pick a few years ago. He had
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: to head the best camp of anyone, so they just
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: think his the trickle down effect of the Forest Buckler
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: is gonna help the linebackers, which might be one of
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the best groups in the league, and the secondary, which
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: is sort of suspects. So they need that defensive front
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: to be stronger and to sort of speed up the
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: clock on quarterbacks to make this defense work. Mike, this
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: may not be a fair question because you haven't seen
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: him that you've covered this team forever. Um, is this
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: a playoff team? And how important is it to the
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: people running this thing for it to be a playoff team?
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: If Philip Rivers is two thousand and eight teen version
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: or close to it, Yes, if he's touchdowns, thirteen interceptions
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: and four thousand yards with the pieces around him, the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: should be a playoff team. Whether at winds, the NFC's
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: out or a wild card. I don't know. But but
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: and it's a good question, how important because at some
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: point you tangible progress. I think this is the best
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: top to bottom roster they've had in quite a while,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: maybe going back to the man in years. As far
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: as you can't look at the roster and say, man,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: what are we doing at disposition? You know, tied in
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: there a little thin with Trey Burton being out, but
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: top the bottom it's a strong roster. But at some
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: point you know that they've not made the playoffs in
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: four the last five years to had that the last
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: time they had a string like that started in Baltimore.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: That's how rare that this playoff drought is. So it's
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: really important. I'm not saying anyone's on the hot seat.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think they are, but at some point you
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: can't say, well, we didn't make the playoffs in in
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: seventeen because Andrew Luck shoulder kept him out, and we
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: didn't make it last year because Luck retired. Those are
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: valid reasons, but at some point no one wants to
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: hear Here's that. They want to say, well, what was
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: your bottom line? This is a big year I think
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: to show that progress and the rosters is conducive to
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: a good start in the division. I think there's no
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: clear cut favorite, so I think this is the year
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: they need to take that step. Already, you heard it
• 21:23
