- 0:06Speaker 1: Drive Time? Ye steps John Oh Jos. Actually, Jaguars Drive
- 0:13Speaker 1: Time starts right now. Happy Friday, Good morning, Welcome into
- 0:19Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive Time. A rainy Friday here in Jacksonville as
- 0:24Speaker 1: we get ready for the Houston Texans to come to
- 0:26Speaker 1: town for a home game on Sunday, both teams coming
- 0:30Speaker 1: off the by both teams with the same record, looking
- 0:33Speaker 1: to get out of this losing streak. We're changing things
- 0:36Speaker 1: up a little bit this morning on Jacks Drive Time.
- 0:38Speaker 1: We're gonna go right into our game preview presented by
- 0:40Speaker 1: Simply I O A. And we will have head coach
- 0:42Speaker 1: done round here in a matter of minutes. So Game
- 0:45Speaker 1: preview number one is run the ball, James Robinson, all
- 0:50Speaker 1: eyes on you this week, coming off a hundred yard
- 0:52Speaker 1: game against the Chargers, and it's no secret that's Texans
- 0:56Speaker 1: have a struggling run defense thirty one in the league.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Use that to your advantage, especially with the rookie quarterback.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Definitely want to rely on James Robinson this week. Game
- 1:06Speaker 1: preview number two is make it easy for that rookie
- 1:09Speaker 1: quarterback Jake Luton. He's probably going to make a rookie mistake,
- 1:13Speaker 1: and that is okay. This is not only his first
- 1:16Speaker 1: NFL game action, this is his first start in the NFL,
- 1:19Speaker 1: so everyone around him has to help him out. That
- 1:22Speaker 1: means the offensive line. That means the wide receivers running
- 1:25Speaker 1: crisp routes. That means everyone blocking the way they're supposed to.
- 1:29Speaker 1: We always say do your job, but that is especially
- 1:32Speaker 1: true this week on the offensive side of the ball.
- 1:35Speaker 1: And finally, game preview number three is do not lose
- 1:39Speaker 1: this guy to Shawn Watson. Keep him in the pocket
- 1:43Speaker 1: as best if you can, and when he gets out
- 1:45Speaker 1: because we know all know that's his strength in his game,
- 1:48Speaker 1: he's dangerous on his feet. That means that we're looking
- 1:50Speaker 1: at Miles Jack. He is critical this speak to keeping
- 1:53Speaker 1: the Shad Watson from killing the Jaguars with his running game.
- 1:57Speaker 1: And we're hoping that Miles Jack is back healthy. He's
- 1:59Speaker 1: been at practice all week, but he is absolutely critical
- 2:02Speaker 1: to this Jaguars defense. On Sunday, and now I welcome
- 2:05Speaker 1: in Brian Sexton and John Osier and and Brian, we've
- 2:09Speaker 1: talked so much about Jake Luton this week that it's
- 2:11Speaker 1: kind of been lost the impact James Robinson should have
- 2:15Speaker 1: on Sunday. Not only can you hand it off Jake
- 2:17Speaker 1: Luton if things go wrong, but besides the quarterback play,
- 2:20Speaker 1: you really want to run against this Texans team? Well,
- 2:24Speaker 1: and don't forget, he's the best player you have on offense.
- 2:27Speaker 1: No disrespect to DJ Chark, but without a quarterback that's
- 2:31Speaker 1: consistently delivering the ball on time and and on the money,
- 2:35Speaker 1: um D J Chark is a non factor. He has
- 2:38Speaker 1: been now for what seems like a month. The most
- 2:41Speaker 1: reliable player you have is Robinson, So get him the ball.
- 2:47Speaker 1: I don't care how you do it. If you have
- 2:48Speaker 1: to use swing passes to put the ball in his hands, fine,
- 2:51Speaker 1: And I understand that the coach will say this, and
- 2:53Speaker 1: he's right. You can't just say we're gonna ram it
- 2:56Speaker 1: down their throats because there's enough talent on that side
- 2:58Speaker 1: despite what the numbers that if they decide they're going
- 3:01Speaker 1: to stop the run and sell out against the run,
- 3:03Speaker 1: they're gonna do that. So your quarterback is still gonna
- 3:06Speaker 1: have to make plays. But I just don't see how
- 3:08Speaker 1: you get very for doing anything without Robinson touching the ball. Absolutely,
- 3:14Speaker 1: and John big News out of Houston yesterday. It was
- 3:16Speaker 1: basically the entire linebacking corps for the Houston Texans right
- 3:19Speaker 1: now is on COVID reserve. That includes Whitney Merciless. So
- 3:23Speaker 1: people say, a good break for the Jaguars, but the
- 3:26Speaker 1: Jaguars definitely can't keep that in their pocket, especially with
- 3:29Speaker 1: James Robinson. You still want to plan like they're all playing. Yeah,
- 3:34Speaker 1: I don't know if you game plan for that or not.
- 3:36Speaker 1: You know it, it will certainly help in the sense
- 3:39Speaker 1: that you don't have two great edge rushers coming off
- 3:41Speaker 1: the edge, you know, j. J. Watt with no Merciless.
- 3:44Speaker 1: So it's uh, you know, back to the James Robinson,
- 3:48Speaker 1: I've been saying it all week. You absolutely have to
- 3:51Speaker 1: keep him involved, but it's sort of a you know
- 3:54Speaker 1: which came first, the chicken or the egg. You've got
- 3:57Speaker 1: to stay in the game to keep him involved, and
- 4:00Speaker 1: you have to throw well to keep him involved. So
- 4:03Speaker 1: he needs to have a big game, and boy, you
- 4:06Speaker 1: hope going into the fourth quarter that you're to the
- 4:08Speaker 1: point where you can still keep turning around and handing
- 4:11Speaker 1: him the ball because uh, I think the key overall
- 4:14Speaker 1: is Ken Lewton complete passes early and get them out
- 4:19Speaker 1: of a bunch of defense and give James Robinson room
- 4:22Speaker 1: to run, which he hasn't always had this year. Right says,
- 4:28Speaker 1: you use the run to set up the pass. You
- 4:30Speaker 1: pound the ball, you bring the linebackers and even a
- 4:33Speaker 1: safety closer to the line of scrimmage, and then you
- 4:35Speaker 1: send it over their head. That isn't the way that
- 4:38Speaker 1: this team is going to function. This team is going
- 4:40Speaker 1: to use the past to set up the run. Even
- 4:42Speaker 1: though James Robinson could play it either way. This team
- 4:46Speaker 1: doesn't matter as long as you get the production from
- 4:48Speaker 1: the ground game to take the pressure off. But it
- 4:51Speaker 1: does set it up for the rookie to have to
- 4:54Speaker 1: make some throws early to back them off the plate. Ashlyn,
- 4:58Speaker 1: I could not agree more, and I think someone else
- 5:01Speaker 1: will agree with us. I believe we have head coach
- 5:03Speaker 1: Doug Brown here standing by for coffee with the coach. Coach,
- 5:07Speaker 1: Good morning, how are you, Good morning, I'm doing well,
- 5:12Speaker 1: great to hear. So we were just talking about James
- 5:15Speaker 1: Robinson and Jake Luton and that's obviously the biggest storyline
- 5:18Speaker 1: of this week, and we've been saying all week. We
- 5:20Speaker 1: go back to training camp and Jake Luton was the
- 5:23Speaker 1: storyline for many days with his big arm and impressing
- 5:25Speaker 1: all of us. So now the question I have for
- 5:27Speaker 1: you is, how do you think that translates to the
- 5:30Speaker 1: game field. I think we're gonna see. I think I
- 5:34Speaker 1: would be able to give a better opinion if we had,
- 5:36Speaker 1: you know, preseason games where you're able to go in
- 5:38Speaker 1: there and perform in the preseason. But um, you know,
- 5:41Speaker 1: we didn't have that. So you know, we had scrimmages
- 5:44Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he did well. And I think
- 5:46Speaker 1: that you know, he pretty much checks all the boxes
- 5:48Speaker 1: when you're looking at height, weight, speed, arm strength. Um.
- 5:52Speaker 1: But like I said before, we've seen a lot of
- 5:54Speaker 1: quarterbacks check all these boxes and go out there on
- 5:56Speaker 1: Sunday and and um not perform. And I think that's
- 6:00Speaker 1: going to be the key. So I'm kind of excited.
- 6:02Speaker 1: You know, he's he's worked really hard. He has an opportunity.
- 6:06Speaker 1: We'll see how much you can take advantage of it.
- 6:07Speaker 1: I think that obviously we're gonna try to, you know,
- 6:11Speaker 1: take some stuff off his plate. We don't want to
- 6:13Speaker 1: put too much on him, but uh, you know he's
- 6:15Speaker 1: gonna have to come up with some with some throws. Um,
- 6:18Speaker 1: you know, and obviously a running game and the offensive
- 6:21Speaker 1: line play a big role in this, and the receivers,
- 6:25Speaker 1: you know, yards after the catch. Um, you know Jacole,
- 6:28Speaker 1: you know he'll he'll he'll throw it into tight windows
- 6:30Speaker 1: and and obviously you can throw it deep, so um,
- 6:33Speaker 1: it'll be interesting. I think the key is really just
- 6:35Speaker 1: getting off to a good start and him being confident
- 6:37Speaker 1: and seeing how he reacts to the first time you
- 6:40Speaker 1: get hit, the first time you get sacked, what is
- 6:43Speaker 1: the ball, security in the pocket? You know, these are
- 6:45Speaker 1: things that are unknown because we haven't been able to
- 6:47Speaker 1: put him in those situations. Coach, obviously, you didn't pay
- 6:54Speaker 1: much attention to ja Gluten for a long time because
- 6:57Speaker 1: he's not the starter for a long time. Anything, since
- 7:01Speaker 1: he became the starter that you like with what you
- 7:04Speaker 1: see any any moment anyway it carries himself, anything like that,
- 7:09Speaker 1: since he's sort of returned to your focus. I think
- 7:12Speaker 1: I think a lot of times in my experience, when um,
- 7:16Speaker 1: you know it as an injury and someone's moving up,
- 7:20Speaker 1: I think, you know, obviously, especially with that position, you
- 7:24Speaker 1: know where all eyes are on you all the time.
- 7:28Speaker 1: I think, for the most part, what I've always seen
- 7:30Speaker 1: people do is just really put in the work and
- 7:33Speaker 1: really make sure that theyre not going to be the
- 7:36Speaker 1: reason why the team doesn't do well, more likely trying
- 7:40Speaker 1: to be the reason why the team does does well,
- 7:43Speaker 1: meaning that I also see a lot of other players
- 7:45Speaker 1: around them, both offense and defense, you know, kind of um,
- 7:50Speaker 1: you know, supporting him, you know, to get him going,
- 7:52Speaker 1: and he's really been you know, just kind of locked.
- 7:54Speaker 1: And I would guess it's the best way to explain it,
- 7:56Speaker 1: but I think that's how most people are, knowing that
- 7:59Speaker 1: you these opportunities don't come very often. One thing that
- 8:07Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, I know, we've talked about him so much
- 8:09Speaker 1: over the years. He played him so much, and there's
- 8:12Speaker 1: this perception out there that the Jaguars haven't pressured him,
- 8:14Speaker 1: and you guys have gotten pressure on him. It's just
- 8:18Speaker 1: he's this guy who seems to escape once or twice
- 8:22Speaker 1: a game at key moments. Is that really the strain
- 8:26Speaker 1: of him that you can bottle him up for fifty
- 8:28Speaker 1: eight plays and he gets free in the fifty nine.
- 8:31Speaker 1: I think everyone could see what type of athletes is
- 8:34Speaker 1: at quarterback. I think one of the main things though,
- 8:36Speaker 1: that he doesn't get enough credit for You know, we
- 8:39Speaker 1: used to say this a lot about you know, Ben
- 8:41Speaker 1: Roethlisberger and in Pittsburgh about he was so big he's
- 8:44Speaker 1: hard to bring down. Well, obviously Deshaun is not as big,
- 8:47Speaker 1: but he's very elusive. You know, there's been times where
- 8:50Speaker 1: we've been able to get out his legs or getting
- 8:53Speaker 1: around his hips, and he's been able to spend out
- 8:55Speaker 1: get out of it. And you know what's interesting is
- 8:58Speaker 1: he does a very good job of a decision making
- 9:01Speaker 1: of either a trying to extend plays um when they
- 9:04Speaker 1: have a lot of speed on the field and keeping
- 9:06Speaker 1: his eyes down the field. And then sometimes if it's
- 9:09Speaker 1: just a third down play and he needs to just
- 9:11Speaker 1: take it, he'll just take off and run. I think
- 9:13Speaker 1: he does a very good job of managing those situations,
- 9:15Speaker 1: which is obviously a great challenge for us on defense. Coach,
- 9:20Speaker 1: the last time you played these guys, I thought Jowan
- 9:23Speaker 1: Taylor played really good football. Um. You know, there was
- 9:27Speaker 1: some pressure in the fourth quarter when you were forced
- 9:29Speaker 1: to play come from behind and throw the ball over
- 9:31Speaker 1: the field, But I thought he played his best game
- 9:33Speaker 1: of the season against j. J. Watton did a nice job.
- 9:36Speaker 1: How is he coming along on the right side there,
- 9:39Speaker 1: and can you just give us a sense of where
- 9:41Speaker 1: this offensive line is coming out of the bye week.
- 9:43Speaker 1: You've had to make some moves because of injury the
- 9:45Speaker 1: first half of the season. Where's this group overall? I
- 9:49Speaker 1: think really the three inside players when they're when they've
- 9:52Speaker 1: been in there and healthy, have been really playing well.
- 9:54Speaker 1: I think you know that shows up in the stats.
- 9:57Speaker 1: You know, I think our tackle that time they've they've
- 10:00Speaker 1: you know, been exposed like you said, you know when
- 10:02Speaker 1: you get to these games that are out and then
- 10:04Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now it's just pass rush as
- 10:05Speaker 1: to pass rush and people are just being off on them.
- 10:08Speaker 1: But I think they're proven. I think, you know, one
- 10:10Speaker 1: of the things that probably have hurt more of the
- 10:12Speaker 1: younger players, and it goes back to the younger players,
- 10:14Speaker 1: is not having the off season or the preseason. Guys
- 10:17Speaker 1: that are going into their second year, like like Juwan
- 10:20Speaker 1: or Cam who came off an injury. Um, you know
- 10:23Speaker 1: that would have really helped me. Guys, uh, you know,
- 10:26Speaker 1: being able to perform. But you know, they offense, some
- 10:29Speaker 1: line has done a nice job this year. They really have.
- 10:31Speaker 1: I mean, and I judge it by uh, just the
- 10:34Speaker 1: average yards per game. You know what we're doing running
- 10:37Speaker 1: the football. Obviously, we can do a better job in protection. Um,
- 10:41Speaker 1: you know, hopefully we'll be able to do things and
- 10:43Speaker 1: and and help them with you know, getting the ball
- 10:45Speaker 1: out on time, things of that nature. That always helps
- 10:48Speaker 1: the line, uh in that aspect. But I'm I'm I'm
- 10:51Speaker 1: happy with the line, and we just gotta keep them healthy.
- 10:53Speaker 1: I think, you know, Andrew's Andrew nor Well is having
- 10:55Speaker 1: a really good year. That's kind of being, um, you know,
- 11:00Speaker 1: on a lay low because of our record, but you know,
- 11:02Speaker 1: he's really playing at a high level. Brandon Linda's playing
- 11:04Speaker 1: at a always has played at a high level. And uh,
- 11:07Speaker 1: you know A J. Cannon is is playing his best
- 11:09Speaker 1: football since you've been here. One quick follow up, coach
- 11:13Speaker 1: along those lines. Early in the season, especially that Titans game,
- 11:17Speaker 1: the tight ends made a huge impact. I think they
- 11:19Speaker 1: caught five first downs in that game in Week two
- 11:22Speaker 1: against the Titans, and we haven't seen them as involved
- 11:25Speaker 1: moving the chains and helping with consistency on the offense.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Do you see that as being a focal point over
- 11:31Speaker 1: the second half of this season, especially with a young
- 11:33Speaker 1: quarterback out there for a Tyler eiffort for a James
- 11:36Speaker 1: O'Shaughnessy to make some plays in the middle of the
- 11:39Speaker 1: field and keep the team on the field. Well, you
- 11:42Speaker 1: know what I mean. You know, Jake's a big guy.
- 11:44Speaker 1: You know, he's got good vision. Um. So you know,
- 11:47Speaker 1: when if you get someone like Tyler, you know, Ben Elison,
- 11:50Speaker 1: and he's another guy that's an untold story that's really
- 11:54Speaker 1: doing a good job as our as our y tight
- 11:56Speaker 1: end I'm blocking tight end that that has has really
- 11:59Speaker 1: played well, we pull them up. Um, But I I
- 12:02Speaker 1: would say, yeah, I mean, the more people you can
- 12:04Speaker 1: get involved, the better you're gonna be. You know, if
- 12:08Speaker 1: and that you know, a lot of that's gonna depend
- 12:10Speaker 1: on you know, what we're doing at quarterback, how the
- 12:12Speaker 1: quarterback's doing, how he's reading progressions. You know, you just
- 12:15Speaker 1: can't It's not one of these games where you just say, um,
- 12:19Speaker 1: you know, hey, listen, I'm gonna I'm gonna take this ball.
- 12:21Speaker 1: I'm gonna run someone over in the middle. I'm just
- 12:23Speaker 1: gonna throw it to You know, a lot is dictated
- 12:25Speaker 1: on your progression, your reads, your coverages, and and and
- 12:28Speaker 1: where you gotta go with the football. Um, sometimes they
- 12:31Speaker 1: take that stuff away, but uh, it would definitely help us.
- 12:34Speaker 1: There's no doubt if we can do something in the
- 12:36Speaker 1: middle of the field with our tight ends or bringing
- 12:39Speaker 1: someone of our receiver, then alright, big game this Sunday
- 12:44Speaker 1: against the Texans. Head coach Doug Round, thanks so much
- 12:46Speaker 1: for your time. Great guys, thank you. All right, we'll

- 16:18Speaker 1: Thanks so much to head coach Doug Brown for joining
- 16:20Speaker 1: us this morning in his time for he will, he won't,
- 16:24Speaker 1: he might going into Sunday's home game against the Houston Texans.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Brian Sexson, you're up. I'll take Miles Jack, who returns
- 16:33Speaker 1: to the lineup this week, and I say he'll have
- 16:35Speaker 1: fifteen tackles. Um, you know they've missed him and his
- 16:40Speaker 1: speed and his size and his athleticism. Um, we have
- 16:44Speaker 1: always known what Miles is capable of, and this year,
- 16:47Speaker 1: for the first time, you know, we think he approached
- 16:51Speaker 1: that all pro sort of level that we've all held
- 16:53Speaker 1: out for him. And then the injury in Cincinnati and
- 16:56Speaker 1: we haven't seen him full speed. So he will have
- 16:58Speaker 1: a big day on the tackle sheet. He will be
- 17:01Speaker 1: all over the field and he'll be chasing to Shaun
- 17:04Speaker 1: Watson plenty. He won't have have the splash plays, right,
- 17:08Speaker 1: it'll just be steady, steady, steady. And too many people think,
- 17:12Speaker 1: and he's probably true when you start including the fan
- 17:14Speaker 1: boat and things like the Pro Bowl, that if you
- 17:17Speaker 1: don't have interceptions, return for touchdowns and fumble recoveries and sacks.
- 17:21Speaker 1: You're not going to be a Pro Bowl caliber player.
- 17:23Speaker 1: We've lost the appreciation in this game for that great lineback.
- 17:27Speaker 1: And it's steady, just tackle, tackle, tackle. He won't have
- 17:32Speaker 1: splash plays this week. I just don't think that the
- 17:34Speaker 1: Texans offense is set up for that. They're either gonna
- 17:37Speaker 1: run it or they're gonna throw it deep with Brandon
- 17:38Speaker 1: Cooks and Randall Cob This guy, though he wanted the
- 17:42Speaker 1: splash plays, but he will have lots of tackles and
- 17:45Speaker 1: he might finally show the average football fan his true
- 17:50Speaker 1: worth to this defense, because while you've got Joe Schobert
- 17:54Speaker 1: and the safety's filling gaps, this is the guy that
- 17:56Speaker 1: runs sideline to sideline and makes plays. He might be
- 17:59Speaker 1: the guy. This might be that Sunday where people go, wow,
- 18:04Speaker 1: he is really good without any splash plus, but just steady,
- 18:07Speaker 1: tend of twelve tackles, absolutely crucial to stopping DeShawn Watson
- 18:13Speaker 1: in the Houston offense and crucial to this Jaguars defense
- 18:17Speaker 1: as well. All right, John Osier, you have d J Chark.
- 18:22Speaker 1: All right, I do have DJ Chark, and I have
- 18:23Speaker 1: a question for both you guys. Are you sitting down
- 18:26Speaker 1: because this is gonna blow your mind. You won't. I'm
- 18:30Speaker 1: starting off with he won't. DJ Chark won't be hurt
- 18:36Speaker 1: this week. Uh, and it's a big deal. I think
- 18:39Speaker 1: some of what got lost in his eight receptions over
- 18:44Speaker 1: the last two games was there was a timing thing
- 18:48Speaker 1: with him and Gardner Minshew that wasn't quite right. I
- 18:51Speaker 1: don't know that that was all Gardner. He's off the
- 18:53Speaker 1: injury report, the ankle. I think that helps coming up
- 18:56Speaker 1: second second, not first. He will he will get a
- 19:00Speaker 1: lot of targets, you know. And I know we're talking
- 19:03Speaker 1: about James Robinson and I know Dougs talking about, hey,
- 19:06Speaker 1: we gotta protect Jake Luton a little bit. I don't
- 19:09Speaker 1: know that's how it's going to play out. I think
- 19:11Speaker 1: if Jake Lewton is going to be effective, if this
- 19:13Speaker 1: offense is going to be effective, it needs to throw
- 19:15Speaker 1: the ball. This team believes it has big time receivers,
- 19:19Speaker 1: it wants to use them, hasn't used them enough. So
- 19:22Speaker 1: I think d J Charge is going to get a
- 19:24Speaker 1: lot of targets and he might show Jaguars fans why
- 19:27Speaker 1: going into the season he was the best offensive player.
- 19:30Speaker 1: He's still the best offensive player in this team. He
- 19:33Speaker 1: hasn't had a chance to play like it because the
- 19:36Speaker 1: ball hasn't been getting to him. He might show that again.
- 19:38Speaker 1: So hey, he won't, he will, he might? What are
- 19:44Speaker 1: you doing this week? I think you run the program?
- 19:48Speaker 1: John Ozan, good one. I picked another receiver, Lavisco Chennault Jr.
- 19:51Speaker 1: He will, he won't, he might. He will make an
- 19:54Speaker 1: impact on Sunday. He's been making an impact every single week,
- 19:57Speaker 1: but I think this week more so than others. Doug
- 20:00Speaker 1: Round said before the bye week, I'm going to think
- 20:03Speaker 1: outside the box a little bit. And I think when
- 20:05Speaker 1: we all heard him say that, we thought of Laviska
- 20:07Speaker 1: Schnall Jr. Using him even more creative ways than they
- 20:11Speaker 1: have been using him a rookie quarterback. This week, give
- 20:13Speaker 1: the battle Leavisca. Have him take a few snaps. Why not.
- 20:18Speaker 1: He won't be frustrated if the connection isn't there right away.
- 20:20Speaker 1: When we spoke to Jake Luten on Wednesday, he didn't
- 20:23Speaker 1: mention one receiver, especially in training camp, that he had
- 20:26Speaker 1: that good connection with, and it was Colin Johnson. So
- 20:29Speaker 1: this might take time and that's okay, But this is
- 20:32Speaker 1: not the type of guy that's going to be frustrated
- 20:33Speaker 1: right away if the connection with the new quarterback isn't
- 20:36Speaker 1: there on Sunday, and he might make a game changing play,
- 20:40Speaker 1: but I'm not saying it's a touchdown. I go back
- 20:42Speaker 1: to two weeks ago Los Angeles Chargers. He gets that
- 20:45Speaker 1: crucial first down where he basically plows over three defenders
- 20:49Speaker 1: and gets that first down when it was really needed
- 20:52Speaker 1: to set up the James Robinson touchdown. That's the type
- 20:55Speaker 1: of play that doesn't get as much attention as it should.
- 20:58Speaker 1: Like Brian said, you're always talking about acts and fumbles,
- 21:00Speaker 1: interceptions with wide receivers. You're talking about touchdowns and stuff
- 21:04Speaker 1: like that. But that first down was crucial to that game,
- 21:07Speaker 1: and I foresee him making a play just like that. Brian,
- 21:12Speaker 1: what do you think? I um, I think you're right.
- 21:17Speaker 1: I think he's going to be involved, if only because
- 21:19Speaker 1: he's one of those few multidimensional players that Jay Gruden
- 21:23Speaker 1: and Doug Marone can play around with. You know, they
- 21:25Speaker 1: can put him in a bunch of different roles. You
- 21:27Speaker 1: can't take Tyler Ifort and put him, uh, you know,
- 21:29Speaker 1: in the in the backfield and expect him to do
- 21:31Speaker 1: those kinds of things so and you can't James Robinson
- 21:34Speaker 1: out wide and expect him to beat the coverage down
- 21:36Speaker 1: the field. I think Channault is a guy who's going
- 21:39Speaker 1: to be involved in UM in a number of different ways.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Looking to get a little creative this week against the
- 21:47Speaker 1: Houston Texans, and we come back on Jack's drive time,

- 25:47Speaker 1: Brian Sexton Seattle Seahawks, Buffalo Bills just um NFL weekend.
- 25:57Speaker 1: It's Florida Georgia weekend and I means so that means
- 26:02Speaker 1: that for the for the first for the first time,
- 26:07Speaker 1: the Jaguars will play on Sunday, the day after the
- 26:10Speaker 1: Florida Georgia game is played on Saturday. And Jack del
- 26:13Speaker 1: Rio for years wanted the Jaguars to consider doing this.
- 26:18Speaker 1: He thought it was great for football to have high
- 26:21Speaker 1: school football and then uh, you know sec you know,
- 26:26Speaker 1: heritage game like Florida Georgia. Uh, and then to have
- 26:29Speaker 1: the NFL behind it, and so tip of the cap
- 26:31Speaker 1: to Jackie. He pushed it. It was accidental this year.
- 26:35Speaker 1: It happened because of COVID and not being able to
- 26:37Speaker 1: go to London. But I think we're gonna finally see
- 26:39Speaker 1: you know, how the staff can turn the stadium over. Anyway,
- 26:43Speaker 1: it's a big deal. Um, I think it is. So
- 26:46Speaker 1: I took Seattle at Buffalo. These are two entirely different
- 26:49Speaker 1: kinds of teams. Uh, two entirely different types of quarterbacks.
- 26:53Speaker 1: You know, we talked about prototype quarterbacks all the time,
- 26:55Speaker 1: and Josh Allen is that physical prototype. And then you've
- 26:58Speaker 1: got Russell Wilson, who sort of the new prototype when
- 27:01Speaker 1: you look at the young mobile quarterbacks who were coming
- 27:04Speaker 1: into the league behind him, you know. I mean, just
- 27:07Speaker 1: if you saw that Arizona game a few weeks ago,
- 27:09Speaker 1: you saw the Russell Wilson prototype. So I think this
- 27:12Speaker 1: game is going to be fantastic. Him to franchises there
- 27:14Speaker 1: are are built differently. The Seahawks have built around that
- 27:18Speaker 1: quarterback now, and they've been trading in free agency. I
- 27:21Speaker 1: mean They're just constantly putting the puzzle together as they
- 27:24Speaker 1: go along, whereas it's been a slower, longer rebuild for
- 27:29Speaker 1: these guys since Sabine came in as the general manager
- 27:32Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Everything about these two you know, big cosmopolitan city,
- 27:36Speaker 1: you know, russ Felt City, on the edge of the
- 27:38Speaker 1: Lake Erie. I just I love it all. And I
- 27:40Speaker 1: think this is going to go to the Bills because
- 27:43Speaker 1: they had their chance earlier to step up and declare
- 27:47Speaker 1: themselves to be a contender, and they didn't show up
- 27:49Speaker 1: well against Kansas City. I think Josh Allen, there was
- 27:52Speaker 1: a big spread on him in the Wall Street Journal
- 27:54Speaker 1: this week. I think this is his game, and the
- 27:56Speaker 1: Bills up end the Seahawks. All right, I'm like, I'm
- 28:00Speaker 1: liking it. John Ravens, and yeah, this is a if
- 28:07Speaker 1: they have. The course of a season, there's sort of
- 28:09Speaker 1: games that define different franchises. This feels like that game
- 28:13Speaker 1: for both of these teams. Nobody really believes in the
- 28:16Speaker 1: Colts yet, even though they're five and two and they
- 28:18Speaker 1: have one of the best defenses in the league. If
- 28:21Speaker 1: they beat the Ravens, all of a sudden, people start
- 28:23Speaker 1: looking at them and saying, Okay, maybe they belong right now,
- 28:26Speaker 1: it's Casey in Pittsburgh and the a f C and
- 28:28Speaker 1: everybody else sort of fallen off. Maybe the Colts get
- 28:31Speaker 1: back into this conversation. But a bigger game for the Ravens.
- 28:35Speaker 1: The Ravens have killed teams that they're better than and
- 28:38Speaker 1: gotten beat by good teams this year. If they lose
- 28:42Speaker 1: to the Colts, and that could happen because the Colts
- 28:45Speaker 1: defense is good enough to negate Lamar Jackson. If they
- 28:49Speaker 1: lose to the Colts, all of a a sudden, that's three
- 28:51Speaker 1: playoff teams or potential playoff teams the Ravens have lost
- 28:54Speaker 1: to you. I don't know if they start doubting themselves, whatever,
- 28:58Speaker 1: but they haven't done well in the playoffs in recent years.
- 29:01Speaker 1: This thing about not beating good teams could come to
- 29:05Speaker 1: define the Ravens. So a big game for both teams.
- 29:07Speaker 1: I think the UH. I see the Colts winning it
- 29:11Speaker 1: because I think teams have figured out good defenses, have
- 29:15Speaker 1: figured out how to at least negate Lamar Jackson a
- 29:19Speaker 1: little bit. You know, maybe not with yards, but with turnovers,
- 29:22Speaker 1: making it make mistakes. I go with the Colts in
- 29:24Speaker 1: this one. That would be a huge win for the
- 29:28Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. Alrighty, I have Chicago Bears and Tennessee Titans.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Is a very interesting game because the Bears could be
- 29:36Speaker 1: missing four of their offensive lineman due to injuries due
- 29:40Speaker 1: to COVID, some on the COVID reserve list, and both
- 29:43Speaker 1: teams looking to end a two game losing streak after
- 29:46Speaker 1: both of them had a really impressive start to the season.
- 29:49Speaker 1: But all eyes are on this quarterback controversy in Chicago.
- 29:53Speaker 1: It's Nick Foles right now. He's not playing at the
- 29:55Speaker 1: level they want him to. Mentell Robinski is hurt right now.
- 29:58Speaker 1: A lot of drama going on in Chicago. But if
- 30:00Speaker 1: they can go out and win this game over Tennessee Titans,
- 30:04Speaker 1: that settles some things. But the Titans, Bran, I can't
- 30:07Speaker 1: really figure them out. They had a really good start
- 30:08Speaker 1: to the season. They're on a two game losing streak.
- 30:11Speaker 1: I don't know if it's teams starting to figure out
- 30:13Speaker 1: this offense and Derrick Henry. But if they go ahead
- 30:16Speaker 1: and lose this game, man, what a drop off of
- 30:19Speaker 1: the Titans all of a sudden. Well they're a good team, right,
- 30:22Speaker 1: I mean they're good on both sides of the ball.
- 30:24Speaker 1: I don't think they're great, and I think when you
- 30:26Speaker 1: look at their rise over the last year and a half,
- 30:28Speaker 1: it's followed the quarterback Tenney hill Um. If there's any
- 30:33Speaker 1: fall off on his part, they become so one dimensional
- 30:36Speaker 1: based on Derrick Henry that I think they become an
- 30:38Speaker 1: easy problem to solve. So for the Titans to re
- 30:41Speaker 1: emerge as one of the contenders, they are a contender
- 30:45Speaker 1: as one of the top teams in the a f C.
- 30:47Speaker 1: The quarterback needs to play over the last seven or
- 30:50Speaker 1: eight weeks like he did the first three or four weeks,
- 30:52Speaker 1: maybe five weeks. Could not agree more. All kinds of
- 30:56Speaker 1: interesting games this weekend, including the Houston Texans Jacksonville Jaguars
- 31:01Speaker 1: This Sunday, we'll see Jake Luton get his first start,
- 31:04Speaker 1: and we'll recap it all right back here Monday morning,
- 31:07Speaker 1: Jags Drive time. Have a great weekend. We will see
- 31:09Speaker 1: you then
