Speaker 1: my dog, lady's chained to the bed. I hope it's
1:00
Speaker 1: just the dog. Welcome and we've got a We've got
1:04
Speaker 1: a show for this morning. There's plenty to talk about.
1:06
Speaker 1: We're gonna start though with our Twitter pool and we'd
1:08
Speaker 1: invite you to join us all day long. It will
1:10
Speaker 1: be up on Twitter and it will be carried through
1:13
Speaker 1: to a Happy Hour this afternoon. So all the talk,
1:15
Speaker 1: the Jaguars only see the Cowboys a couple of times,
1:18
Speaker 1: um every couple of years. So if not the Cowboys,
1:23
Speaker 1: then who is America's team? Spoke a rotary club yesterday morning, Ashlyn,
1:28
Speaker 1: thanks for doing the show, uh, and we got into
1:31
Speaker 1: this conversation who would America's team be? Patriots won five titles,
1:38
Speaker 1: Steelers obviously the Packers, or you can fill in on
1:42
Speaker 1: the comments section. Who is America's team now? John growing
1:47
Speaker 1: up as a fan of the team in Washington otherwise
1:50
Speaker 1: known as the Redskins. Uh. You might argue with the
1:53
Speaker 1: whole America's team thing. No, I mean they were, I
1:56
Speaker 1: mean they were, they are, uh now until I hated
2:02
Speaker 1: them with a passion. I mean I still don't. Don't
2:09
Speaker 1: let me be in the same room as Roger Stalba.
2:12
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, I know he's you know, much
2:16
Speaker 1: older now, but I still resent him, so, you know,
2:20
Speaker 1: And that's the old fan in me of the Redskins,
2:23
Speaker 1: who you know, of course no longer. But I would
2:28
Speaker 1: say the one team on that list that perhaps I
2:33
Speaker 1: don't feel is as hated as the others, and it
2:36
Speaker 1: is maybe universally loved as like a second team for
2:40
Speaker 1: a lot of people as the Packers. That's just my instinct. Um,
2:44
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to put the Patriots on there
2:46
Speaker 1: because so many people it's either love or hate with
2:49
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I mean it's a hatred them there. Yeah,
2:53
Speaker 1: so and the Steelers a little bit that way too.
2:55
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a Steelers fan, you love him,
2:58
Speaker 1: but you talked to a lot of people who just
3:00
Speaker 1: can't stand them. Now, I say that about the Packers.
3:04
Speaker 1: My mother grew up in the Midwest and became a
3:06
Speaker 1: football fan in the sixties and was a Bears fan,
3:10
Speaker 1: and she hates the Packers to this day. So not
3:12
Speaker 1: that you know, they're not universally loved, and I'm sure
3:16
Speaker 1: by by the people in Illinois, right, I mean, so
3:21
Speaker 1: I would say the Packers, but um, even more so
3:25
Speaker 1: than the Cowboys now. But the Cowboys still have that.
3:29
Speaker 1: I mean they got they got the nickname first, so
3:31
Speaker 1: it's theirs. They gave it to themselves a midless but
3:34
Speaker 1: bhil Brandt called them America's team way back when in
3:38
Speaker 1: the seventies and would you like me to name all
3:40
Speaker 1: the scores of the Skins Cowboys games from But you
3:44
Speaker 1: brought up, you brought up you brought up Roger stall
3:47
Speaker 1: Box and and I like you grew up in Europe
3:49
Speaker 1: where there were great teams. Tony dorsset the doomsday defense.
3:54
Speaker 1: Um and so I dropped the name Raphael Septien yesterday
3:57
Speaker 1: on Josh Scholl be thinking. I mean, this was a kicker,
4:00
Speaker 1: all pro kicker for years with the Cowboys. Hated him
4:03
Speaker 1: to right. He grew up in Texas and he had
4:06
Speaker 1: never heard the name Rafael Septien, which made me scob
4:11
Speaker 1: This is not a great sample size of knowledge. Let's
4:16
Speaker 1: move on to big things that you vote pulled. Please
4:19
Speaker 1: all right. Big thing one is new neighbors. It was
4:22
Speaker 1: a busy day yesterday here at the bank. Three new
4:24
Speaker 1: signings Jamal Charles, Dave Williams, David Grinning all signed to
4:28
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Brian Sexton cut up with Jamal Charles and
4:30
Speaker 1: new running back to hear his thoughts. Brian Sexton with
4:34
Speaker 1: your Jaguars running back, Jamal Charles, who joins this courtesy
4:37
Speaker 1: of Austin Texas. You've been out of the league so
4:39
Speaker 1: far this year. What have you been doing to get
4:41
Speaker 1: ready for the opportunity? Oh? I've been trying. Uh what
4:44
Speaker 1: one of my great friends former ut guy Jeremy Hills
4:47
Speaker 1: and also been going a lifetime also been also working
4:51
Speaker 1: at L forty five. So I've been trying to just
4:53
Speaker 1: do all my condition works to stay in shape this case,
4:56
Speaker 1: if I got anybody call, what'd you see in this opportunity? Obviously,
5:00
Speaker 1: so you stay tuned into the league. The defense is
5:02
Speaker 1: obviously calling Card and Leonard when he comes back, be
5:04
Speaker 1: a nice tandem. Yeah. I mean, the reason why I
5:07
Speaker 1: wanted to come here really because I wanted a potential
5:10
Speaker 1: shot at Super Bowl. And that's why I still kept
5:12
Speaker 1: option open because I really want to win the championship.
5:14
Speaker 1: And I was dexcited to have this opportunity to come
5:17
Speaker 1: open and having a defense like this and having running
5:20
Speaker 1: game and having voted at quarterback. I was excited just
5:22
Speaker 1: to allowing me to come, give me, give me a chance,
5:25
Speaker 1: and uh and I'm happy that it works out. The fans, remember,
5:28
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously number one in all time yard per
5:31
Speaker 1: carry average. They know what you do as your runner.
5:33
Speaker 1: What are these guys asking you to do in the
5:34
Speaker 1: passing game. Well, I don't know yet, but in my mind,
5:37
Speaker 1: I want to come in and make my own history.
5:38
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying like I want to start
5:40
Speaker 1: a new history. And everybody say he's old right now,
5:42
Speaker 1: but I want to start something new. I want to
5:43
Speaker 1: make a new uh. I look out for Jamal, for
5:46
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. I want to do something special for
5:49
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. I hope we can go all the way.
5:51
Speaker 1: That's why, That's why I'm hearing my side it so
5:52
Speaker 1: you know the question that's coming, and that is everyone's
5:54
Speaker 1: one or not. It's thirty one. What's he got left
5:56
Speaker 1: in the tank? You tell the fans who are watching this,
5:58
Speaker 1: what does Jamal Charles have left in his tank? I
6:00
Speaker 1: have a lot, man, I got approved a lot. I mean,
6:02
Speaker 1: opportunities come like this is it don't come like this
6:05
Speaker 1: all the time. I'm excited. I'm here for a reason.
6:07
Speaker 1: I feel like it's card playing. At the end of
6:09
Speaker 1: the day, I feel like he wanted me. He made
6:12
Speaker 1: me wait this longly. I mean, everything in my mind
6:14
Speaker 1: could have happened, cut a tie, I could have did
6:16
Speaker 1: other things about God, I kept this option open for me,
6:18
Speaker 1: So I don't know it's it's God playing. The choice
6:21
Speaker 1: is ultimately the coaches. But you ready to go this weekend, Dallas,
6:24
Speaker 1: I know you were there last week for the Oklahoma
6:25
Speaker 1: Texas game. Yeah, I was there last week. Oh home
6:27
Speaker 1: and game hoo. Come homes baby, good job. I'm decided
6:30
Speaker 1: to go back to Dallas. Whatever the same woman to do.
6:32
Speaker 1: I'm up for the challenge. I'm excited. I'm ready to
6:34
Speaker 1: get my foot, get my foot, ready to get to
6:36
Speaker 1: click the dust out the off these cleats. So Jamal
6:40
Speaker 1: Charles in Jacksonville will practice today. Uh the numbers. Impressive career,
6:44
Speaker 1: four time pro bowler and a guy whose average, as
6:48
Speaker 1: you said, see right there is uh, well five point
6:51
Speaker 1: four per carrie career, joined some elite company. Here's the thing.
6:56
Speaker 1: He's ten years into the game. And you go back
6:58
Speaker 1: and look at running backs who sign on ten years
7:01
Speaker 1: in Look Maurice Jones drew right, Uh in his years
7:05
Speaker 1: or year with the Oakland Raiders. To expect a lot
7:10
Speaker 1: is a lot to expect, if you know what I'm
7:12
Speaker 1: saying that even your work with words words of your work. Um, However,
7:18
Speaker 1: I do want to say this, for who he is
7:20
Speaker 1: and the way he plays the game. I think he's
7:22
Speaker 1: a good signing. I think he fits in if you
7:25
Speaker 1: have a role for him. And I think this team
7:27
Speaker 1: is a rule for him. You hope he can be reliable.
7:30
Speaker 1: You hope he can give you you know, to me
7:33
Speaker 1: if he gives you a three point five carry you
7:36
Speaker 1: know or four you know, I don't see. You hope
7:39
Speaker 1: for his sake that it's it's an outlier and he's
7:42
Speaker 1: fantastic historically. And you know from watching this leave for
7:47
Speaker 1: a long time, you're right ten year guys and up,
7:50
Speaker 1: it has happened. But when they're available and resigned. He's
7:53
Speaker 1: had two knee issues that slowed him down in fifteen
7:56
Speaker 1: and sixteen. Believe eleven and and fifteen is when he
8:00
Speaker 1: or fourteen is when he tore the u c LS right.
8:02
Speaker 1: The one later is more of a concern. They're harder
8:04
Speaker 1: to come back from for older running backs and older players.
8:08
Speaker 1: So look, let's hope he's an absolute superstar realistically, if
8:14
Speaker 1: he gives you a bridge for a month of somebody
8:17
Speaker 1: that you can turn to when t J yelled in
8:21
Speaker 1: can't carry on that play, and you can rely on
8:24
Speaker 1: him and he can get you through and be okay,
8:28
Speaker 1: then they will be ecstatic with the signing and he
8:30
Speaker 1: will and he will have done his job. Anymore than
8:33
Speaker 1: that's gravy at his age but I like to sign
8:35
Speaker 1: because he's a guy who knows what he's doing. Clearly,
8:38
Speaker 1: and not to criticize Brandon wild but clearly they reached
8:41
Speaker 1: a point where they didn't trust him uh in the
8:43
Speaker 1: past blocking and they hadn't given him the ball in this.
8:46
Speaker 1: So the other day when t. J. Yelden was caring,
8:49
Speaker 1: you reached a point where feel wise, which for an
8:53
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, for an offense, there's a feel factor when
8:56
Speaker 1: you're called. You felt like you had one running back. Well,
8:59
Speaker 1: that's a couple of too few, and it impacted their
9:04
Speaker 1: play call. I without a doubt. You know one guy
9:07
Speaker 1: that we showed you on the screen, uh, Dave Williams,
9:11
Speaker 1: the young man who was a graduate transfer to Arkansas.
9:15
Speaker 1: I'm a little excited about because he's a pounder. He's
9:17
Speaker 1: a bit six ft one two and thirty pound pounder,
9:20
Speaker 1: which without Leonard in there, I think impacts their play calling. Also,
9:24
Speaker 1: now you've got a guy and I don't know what
9:26
Speaker 1: it gives you. Seventh round draft choice was on a
9:28
Speaker 1: practice squad. But we've all seen those guys Alfred Williams
9:31
Speaker 1: of the world, late draft choices who can come on
9:34
Speaker 1: Yester undrafted. He was undrafted. You can be undrafted and
9:39
Speaker 1: be pred positioned and be fine. Sometimes it's just a
9:42
Speaker 1: matter of getting a field and getting a chance they needed,
9:46
Speaker 1: and you know, I think they've needed all season. Frankly, uh,
9:51
Speaker 1: somebody else they could hand the ball to. Who was
9:54
Speaker 1: a quote every down running back. Now they have three.
9:58
Speaker 1: It's really the It will be the first time they've
9:59
Speaker 1: had had three active that you like in that role.
10:03
Speaker 1: As much as Corey Grant gave the offense, he really
10:07
Speaker 1: wasn't that player. He was a weapon who was very dangerous,
10:10
Speaker 1: and they will miss him. But now they have three
10:13
Speaker 1: running backs, so you feel like if if one gets dinged,
10:17
Speaker 1: you still have two that you feel like you can
10:19
Speaker 1: run the offense eventually. The issue now is you've got
10:23
Speaker 1: these guys coming in on on not three or four
10:25
Speaker 1: days rest. Unfortunately, Brian, as you know that, or as
10:29
Speaker 1: we've talked about a lot, that won't mean getting back
10:32
Speaker 1: at the two back sets. That won't mean the dynamic thing,
10:34
Speaker 1: because that's about knowing and being really comfortable with her.
10:37
Speaker 1: You've got. This is about functioning until for Nette gets back.
10:39
Speaker 1: Here's another thing that we have to point out. They
10:41
Speaker 1: added David greenwge up from the practice squad to fill
10:44
Speaker 1: the role for Austin Suferian Jenkins, but they didn't add
10:47
Speaker 1: anyone on the offensive line, which I wonder if that
10:50
Speaker 1: is because they needed the tight end because they didn't
10:53
Speaker 1: have anybody they wanted to move up, or if things
10:56
Speaker 1: are going well, they've got what they think they need
10:59
Speaker 1: in order to do that. But you get what they
11:02
Speaker 1: need there. I think they're monitoring that if if they
11:05
Speaker 1: get one. You know, all those guys are on the
11:07
Speaker 1: practice squad last week, I mean, I'm sorry, not practiced
11:10
Speaker 1: injured injury report. All of them were. They played, So
11:13
Speaker 1: I get it. I think they're monitoring it. You get
11:16
Speaker 1: the idea if they're calling Josh Wells a week to week,
11:20
Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if he played that would I would
11:22
Speaker 1: think Josh Walker, who played okay, I would go in
11:25
Speaker 1: at that spot. They've got to be monitoring it and
11:28
Speaker 1: ready to make a move at some point if if
11:30
Speaker 1: they have one more guy out. But with every see
11:33
Speaker 1: that's the alarm part that goes off is when you
11:35
Speaker 1: see every one of your starting offensive lineman and I'm
11:39
Speaker 1: kind of Kim Robinson is only your reserve too, So
11:42
Speaker 1: you know your top six guys are listed as injured.
11:46
Speaker 1: That's a troubling thing for this football team. I get it.
11:50
Speaker 1: You know they're playing week to week, but you you
11:52
Speaker 1: don't overcome the tow during a season. Brandon Linder isn't
11:55
Speaker 1: practicing on Wednesdays, the tricep isn't going to go away,
11:57
Speaker 1: and Jeremy's dealing with the need. So football team has
12:01
Speaker 1: to pay close attention as you just mentioned that they are.
12:03
Speaker 1: That's a concern. Yeah. I think their mindset with Parnell
12:08
Speaker 1: is that's what he's dealing with. He did with it
12:11
Speaker 1: last year, So I don't know that that one's a
12:13
Speaker 1: you know, hold your breath, But I agree with you
12:16
Speaker 1: with can uh Lender. It will be curious to see
12:20
Speaker 1: what the back how much you know he's going to
12:22
Speaker 1: have the knee he's again the knee situation when he
12:25
Speaker 1: knows how to manage. That's much like Parnell, where if
12:28
Speaker 1: you're worried about that, then you better have done something
12:30
Speaker 1: in training camp because that's what it's gonna be. So
12:32
Speaker 1: uh yeah, it feels like they're sort of on a
12:37
Speaker 1: on on the edge with the offensive line. The fact
12:40
Speaker 1: they didn't do anything makes me think that Josh wells
12:44
Speaker 1: will not be long term and that they're just trying
12:47
Speaker 1: to get through this week and hope. All right, big
12:50
Speaker 1: thing too? Is everything really bigger in dollars? All of
12:53
Speaker 1: a sudden, this is a very important game for both teams.
12:55
Speaker 1: It's a must win games the Cowboys and the Jaguars.
12:58
Speaker 1: Which makes this game? Are you very important? Remember guys
13:01
Speaker 1: when we were doing talking in the preseason when the
13:03
Speaker 1: schedule came out and we saw this game in Dallas,
13:06
Speaker 1: and we're saying, Oh, that's a big game, that's an
13:08
Speaker 1: important game. That's gonna be a tough place to play.
13:10
Speaker 1: It's the reputation of Dallas, Texas Texas. Nothing else, Texas Texas.
13:17
Speaker 1: I was there for the draft and had been in
13:20
Speaker 1: Philly and that was big. Had been in Chicago, and
13:23
Speaker 1: I think Chicago did a tremendous job with the draft.
13:26
Speaker 1: Uh in Dallas, the set up there in that stadium
13:29
Speaker 1: just said, welcome to a T and T stadium. We're
13:33
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Yeah, this head pretending And if we're talking bigness,
13:36
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a T and T stadium. I assume
13:39
Speaker 1: it's it's a cathedral of football. Never been before. I
13:42
Speaker 1: don't I don't think it's a cathedral football. I think
13:44
Speaker 1: is pretty gold to the bigness of Jerry Jones and
13:47
Speaker 1: the vision that he has the Cowboys. Yeah yeah, in places, Hey,
13:52
Speaker 1: you walked through it, and you will. You'll think you're
13:54
Speaker 1: in a at times you'll think you're in the Cosmo
13:56
Speaker 1: Hotel in Vegas, and it is unbelievable. And he probably
14:00
Speaker 1: the best owner in football, has done more for the
14:01
Speaker 1: game over thirty years. So if he wants to build
14:04
Speaker 1: a theater to himself, that's If I had that kind
14:07
Speaker 1: of money, I would. Here's the thing about the game, Um,
14:10
Speaker 1: I think the Jaguars are in a similar situation to
14:13
Speaker 1: the one they were in last year because the Titans
14:15
Speaker 1: aren't going away. They don't appear to have an explosive
14:18
Speaker 1: scoring machine. Um, they're gonna win close games, they're gonna
14:23
Speaker 1: lose close games, but they're gonna hang in this thing,
14:25
Speaker 1: which means that every game the Jaguars play is going
14:28
Speaker 1: to be important from the sense of you've got to
14:30
Speaker 1: keep pace with the Titans. Look, the lost last week
14:33
Speaker 1: didn't feel good, but it felt better afterwards knowing that
14:35
Speaker 1: the Titans had lost a game as well, and you
14:38
Speaker 1: didn't lose any ground to that football team. You're a
14:40
Speaker 1: vindictive story, aren't you? Uh uh. I was sort of
14:46
Speaker 1: trying to get my head around the bigness of this
14:49
Speaker 1: game this week, because you hate to get into a pattern.
14:52
Speaker 1: We said the Jets game two weeks ago is big,
14:54
Speaker 1: and now of a a sudden, this game is big, and
14:56
Speaker 1: I think that things like must win this early. This
14:59
Speaker 1: isn't really he must win. I mean if if if
15:02
Speaker 1: you lose it, you're three and three, so realistic, but
15:07
Speaker 1: it's sure feels like it, and it sure feels like
15:10
Speaker 1: like given the nature of last week's game, given the injuries.
15:15
Speaker 1: If it's not must win, it's sure wood feel bad
15:19
Speaker 1: to lose, and it would feel worse to lose, and
15:22
Speaker 1: maybe others because it feels like you're teetering a little
15:26
Speaker 1: bit with confidence. If you lose this one. My expectation
15:30
Speaker 1: is too high. But I Blake Bortles has to step
15:34
Speaker 1: back up and give us an efficient game. Right. We've
15:38
Speaker 1: been talking about how he's not that Blake. We've been
15:42
Speaker 1: talking about that throughout the summer. We gave evidence and
15:45
Speaker 1: of his performances last year that told us at least
15:49
Speaker 1: that he was beyond that kind of a game. And
15:51
Speaker 1: then he goes out and has that kind of a game.
15:54
Speaker 1: I need to see the blake who was efficient against
15:57
Speaker 1: the Patriots, who was efficient against the Jets. Got to
16:00
Speaker 1: see that guy back out onto the field. Yeah, and
16:04
Speaker 1: I completely agree. You know, there are some of the
16:06
Speaker 1: throws that you can't have that looked awful. Eleven pressures
16:12
Speaker 1: in five sacks, I get it. I know what was there,
16:14
Speaker 1: which which for NFL stats to have that means it
16:18
Speaker 1: was probably worse than that. I'm not talking about the
16:20
Speaker 1: interceptions as much as I'm talking about there were some
16:23
Speaker 1: throws that were there to be made to O'shawna the
16:25
Speaker 1: red zone in particular on both of the interceptions in
16:28
Speaker 1: the second half, where the ball was either high and
16:31
Speaker 1: behind him or way out in front of him and
16:33
Speaker 1: he couldn't even get to it. If you get to those,
16:36
Speaker 1: you've got more of a game that you can play.
16:38
Speaker 1: And that's what's odd is for a year and a half,
16:42
Speaker 1: he's got really good pocket presents, uh and he's got
16:46
Speaker 1: an ability to evade rush and he helps the offensive
16:49
Speaker 1: line a great deal with that ability. And for in
16:53
Speaker 1: a lot of games, I think he has handled pressure
16:55
Speaker 1: very well, and that one maybe it was. It was
16:58
Speaker 1: just the amount of it. It felt like it got
17:01
Speaker 1: in his head. Uh, Jefflagmin broke it down, and I
17:05
Speaker 1: saw many cases where it appeared that it was still
17:08
Speaker 1: in his head even when it wasn't there. That's phantom
17:10
Speaker 1: pressure and that's not good for a quarterback to feel.
17:12
Speaker 1: But that number sixteen, uh, which was probably higher. He's
17:18
Speaker 1: got to get better at that. But we all know
17:20
Speaker 1: with Blake the offense has to play better around him
17:24
Speaker 1: for him to be efficient. So it's, uh, you'd like
17:28
Speaker 1: not to see it. And you hope that with these
17:31
Speaker 1: offensive line being so injured that you can figure out
17:34
Speaker 1: a way to get back to where it feels like
17:36
Speaker 1: you're on footing, because that felt like slipping. This should
17:39
Speaker 1: be a game where he is able to be efficient
17:42
Speaker 1: against that Cowboys defense. Now they've got pressure, I mean,
17:44
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence can really bring it, and you'd love to
17:47
Speaker 1: have Austin Seferian Jenkins, but still this should be a
17:50
Speaker 1: game where they he should be able to play the
17:53
Speaker 1: way he did against the Jets. Well, you hope I
17:57
Speaker 1: think the I think always doing it's pretty good. Uh.
18:00
Speaker 1: What you hope is that if there are some slippery
18:04
Speaker 1: points early for the offense that the Jaguars defense against
18:08
Speaker 1: this Cowboys offense, which is just okay, it's a good
18:11
Speaker 1: running the ball, it's very it's very pedestrian throwing the ball.
18:15
Speaker 1: You hope that if there are some moments that the
18:17
Speaker 1: offense struggles to get going, that the defense can keep
18:22
Speaker 1: it to where it doesn't feel like getting away and
18:23
Speaker 1: you don't feel pressure offensively. You guys keep mentioning the
18:26
Speaker 1: word efficient with Blake Bortles, But I was talking to
18:28
Speaker 1: Longman yesterday. He was saying, you know, efficient, we talked
18:30
Speaker 1: about that all the time. But against the Patriots and
18:32
Speaker 1: the Jets, he was great. He had great, great games,
18:36
Speaker 1: and then against Kansas City and Tennessee, not great games.
18:38
Speaker 1: So he was saying, you know, I just need him
18:40
Speaker 1: to be good, not somewhere in the middle stellar performance,
18:43
Speaker 1: somewhere in between, somewhere in between. And I wonder if
18:46
Speaker 1: we're gonna get that. And I'm not sure we're gonna
18:48
Speaker 1: get consistent Blake. I think we may get great, And
18:51
Speaker 1: I think the key to this season maybe I kind
18:53
Speaker 1: of expect him to have four or five bad games
18:55
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. Uh, what you want to
18:58
Speaker 1: do is split those this team is able to even
19:01
Speaker 1: though he doesn't play, because I guess I've been riding this.
19:07
Speaker 1: It stay as a roller coaster for me, Brian, So
19:12
Speaker 1: I guess at some point I'm just going to accept
19:14
Speaker 1: the fact that maybe one out every three weeks he's
19:17
Speaker 1: gonna look not great. You'll be back on the roller
19:20
Speaker 1: coast and let's you know when those games defensively, figure
19:24
Speaker 1: out a way to get a couple of them, and
19:26
Speaker 1: then enjoy the ride when he's great. I like that idea.
19:32
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask for a big thing. Three. Big thing
19:37
Speaker 1: three is meeting their match. So you have this Jaguars
19:40
Speaker 1: defensive line, which we know is very very good, against
19:42
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offensive line that is also very good in
19:44
Speaker 1: this team. We talked about identity, they have similar identities,
19:47
Speaker 1: pound the ball, pretty good defense. So it'll be an
19:50
Speaker 1: interesting matchup between these two teams because they're somewhat similar.
19:53
Speaker 1: You know, the only thing they're missing, and I shouldn't
19:55
Speaker 1: say the only thing, but this vaunted Cowboys line, which
19:58
Speaker 1: has been considered the best in football now four or
20:00
Speaker 1: five years in a row. Travis Frederick, the center who
20:03
Speaker 1: is out um is the former leukemia I forget what
20:07
Speaker 1: it is that he has. It's an autoimmune disease. He's
20:11
Speaker 1: not supposed to be back this year. Talking to Todd
20:14
Speaker 1: Archer from ESPN, who covers the Cowboys for ESPN, I said,
20:17
Speaker 1: he's not going to be back. It's an autoimmune disease
20:19
Speaker 1: that affects the nervous system. Uh So he's not going
20:22
Speaker 1: to be back. But they still have Tyron Smith, who
20:27
Speaker 1: was an outstanding left tackle, and um Zack Martin, who
20:30
Speaker 1: may be best Garden football, certainly the highest paid. And
20:33
Speaker 1: we all remember Lyle Collins from a few years ago.
20:35
Speaker 1: It was gonna be a top fifteen pick before the
20:37
Speaker 1: incident with a former girlfriend. You're talking about the right
20:40
Speaker 1: tackle is a solid, soon to be highly paid guy.
20:44
Speaker 1: I was surprised you here a little bit, and it
20:46
Speaker 1: surprised me yesterday. I talked to Todd Archer for about
20:49
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen minutes. The offensive line isn't playing great
20:53
Speaker 1: for them, it's good, uh, And we talked for two
20:57
Speaker 1: or three minutes about it. And they are having points
21:01
Speaker 1: and they miss Frederick. Uh. And I'm I'm drawing a
21:07
Speaker 1: blank on who's playing for him? Is he's playing okay?
21:09
Speaker 1: But he's not Joe looney. Um, they're okay, but they're
21:16
Speaker 1: they're having trouble protecting the pastor at times, and there
21:19
Speaker 1: are it's not the offensive line he said that you
21:24
Speaker 1: think it was from two thousand and sixteen. It's good,
21:26
Speaker 1: but it's not great, and there are times that they
21:28
Speaker 1: have lapses in terms of past in terms of past blocking.
21:32
Speaker 1: So to me, that's a huge edge for the Jaguars defense.
21:36
Speaker 1: Uh that maybe you're not thinking about right now. So
21:39
Speaker 1: you know, I think this is one where as I
21:41
Speaker 1: said before, the key is I think the Jaguars offense
21:44
Speaker 1: is going to have some stumbles because of the injuries,
21:47
Speaker 1: because they're trying to find their identity. Jaguars defense, I
21:50
Speaker 1: think this is a week they create points. I think
21:52
Speaker 1: it's Uh Dak Prescott in particular is having trouble even
21:57
Speaker 1: getting over two yards passing. This is a game of
22:00
Speaker 1: the Jaguars defense should be able to get back to
22:02
Speaker 1: turnovers and touchdowns. Sounds good, tex in Texas in Texas. Yeah.
22:09
Speaker 1: Just here's the one thing that stands out to me
22:11
Speaker 1: is that they they struggle on third down mightily. Right,
22:15
Speaker 1: last week we saw Kan's city team that was best
22:18
Speaker 1: in the league. Right, this week, you get that there
22:20
Speaker 1: minus two in the turnover ratio. And and here to
22:23
Speaker 1: me is the key. Ezekiel Elliott is their leading rusher,
22:27
Speaker 1: the NFL's leading rusher. He's also the Cowboys leading receiver,
22:30
Speaker 1: which tells you what you're dealing with. And with the
22:33
Speaker 1: lack of Alan Hearns is your best receiver and he
22:36
Speaker 1: might be you know what you're dealing with. The Jaguars
22:39
Speaker 1: then have a chance to do defensively what they did
22:41
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, which is focused on stopping the best
22:44
Speaker 1: offensive weapon. It's such a situational game the NFL. Uh
22:48
Speaker 1: I watched the Cowboys Texans game back yesterday morning. When
22:52
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are in third and long, you it's not
22:56
Speaker 1: that they can't pick it up, but in watching Dak
22:58
Speaker 1: Prescott on third and long, you don't have any real
23:01
Speaker 1: confidence on third night that that's a high percentage play
23:04
Speaker 1: for them. With Kansas City, you felt like it was
23:06
Speaker 1: easy and you amost knew what was going to happen. Yeah,
23:09
Speaker 1: that's not just the Jaguars defense, but they have so
23:11
Speaker 1: many weapons that that you're sort of holding your breath
23:13
Speaker 1: on third night. Usually on third night, when you're watching
23:17
Speaker 1: the defense, you're thinking Okay, this is their shot against
23:19
Speaker 1: Kansas City. You're worried. So you're back playing a team
23:23
Speaker 1: this week where if you if you get him in
23:24
Speaker 1: third night, that's the Jaguars. You know, that's when they feed,
23:28
Speaker 1: that's their frenzy. So you would hope he gets back
23:31
Speaker 1: to that because it sure wasn't last week. We'll go
23:33
Speaker 1: in depth on the Jaguars and the Cowboys tomorrow. Brian

Speaker 1: players in the studio anymore? No, with the apologies to
26:29
Speaker 1: smash mouth, here goes nothing. Somebody you want stated the
26:35
Speaker 1: Cowboys were the greatest. They said they were America's team.
26:42
Speaker 1: I said, that's kind of dumb, because the Jacks are
26:45
Speaker 1: gonna come and deflate all up. You win the dreams,
26:51
Speaker 1: but the defense is coming and they won't stop coming.
26:54
Speaker 1: Forget about passing and forget about a run and playing
26:57
Speaker 1: this game won't be much fun to get the special
26:59
Speaker 1: teams because you're gonna have the fun with forty Farmer
27:02
Speaker 1: ninety three. Elliott will take a back seat a think
27:06

Speaker 1: you go. Thank you Maxwell. You know Joe FM radio
28:07
Speaker 1: was still a thing. I would think you might have
28:09
Speaker 1: a future. What's that exactly? Ask any kid today if
28:13
Speaker 1: they know what F M R A M is and
28:15
Speaker 1: they don't. But if there was still such a thing, man,
28:19
Speaker 1: you would be a star. What a future? I love
28:22
Speaker 1: the pictures, But not a blue star, No, not a
28:24
Speaker 1: blue star, not at all. That was good. It was clever.
28:28
Speaker 1: You know whoever this person is that's leaving the cassettes.
28:31
Speaker 1: Thinking a record deal? Yeah, seriously, an album, a record deal?
28:35
Speaker 1: An album? Listen to her, but that there's no idea
28:37
Speaker 1: what a record is. She's never ever put a cassette
28:40
Speaker 1: tape and a player and press play ash. That's not surprising.
28:45
Speaker 1: Are we surprised by that at all? Do you have
28:46
Speaker 1: any CDs? Not anymore? I did when I was younger.
28:50
Speaker 1: Ever seen a track player, so you wouldn't even know
28:53
Speaker 1: what shape it is? No, Joe, I'm not even gonna
28:57
Speaker 1: say the word victrola and you're enough to know, But
29:00
Speaker 1: I will say this zone. How do you know? It's
29:18
Speaker 1: so over his stick? Are you? John? All right? Thank you?
29:25
Speaker 1: Let's go to red from Jacksonville. Hi, John, it's time
29:29
Speaker 1: to hashtag free Cody Kessler. What do we think of that? Ah? Well,
29:37
Speaker 1: I can only imagine if the microphone wasn't right in
29:40
Speaker 1: front of your head, you might bang your head on
29:42
Speaker 1: the table. I'm yeah. Well, Gary Quaso, does that name
29:50
Speaker 1: ring a bell? Yeah? He was Johnny United's backup for years, right,
29:56
Speaker 1: Johnny Unitus was one of the great quarterbacks in NFL history.
29:59
Speaker 1: And yet when Johnny would struggle and have a bad game,
30:02
Speaker 1: because even Johnny United has had bad games, the call
30:05
Speaker 1: for Quaso would go out and Quaso could come in
30:09
Speaker 1: and get with that great Baltimore team. The cultures to
30:12
Speaker 1: be in Baltimore, by the way, did you know that?
30:13
Speaker 1: I know? And and win? And then when he finally
30:17
Speaker 1: went on his own to another team, it wasn't as good. Right,
30:22
Speaker 1: everybody loves the backup quarterback even when Johnny United as
30:25
Speaker 1: your starter, they're not. They're not going to go to
30:28
Speaker 1: Cody Castle. And that's for sure never Because probably the
30:33
Speaker 1: best way to look at it is this, I I
30:35
Speaker 1: get that Blake struggled. I get that I'm not waiting
30:40
Speaker 1: for consistent Blake to come around the corner. I still am.
30:45
Speaker 1: But think about how you feel about this season right now,
30:50
Speaker 1: and think about how you would feel if Blake Borders
30:54
Speaker 1: was unavailable in the rest of the season. You have
30:57
Speaker 1: a problem, Yeah, talk about injuries that would be you
31:00
Speaker 1: would basically say what it's it so and't gonna happen. Well,
31:04
Speaker 1: if you remember he threw that pick to Tyron Matthew
31:07
Speaker 1: late in the ball game in Arizona last year and
31:09
Speaker 1: everybody was up in arms, and he came home against
31:12
Speaker 1: the Colts the Seahawks and the Texans and lit the
31:16
Speaker 1: place on fire and then gut it out running the
31:19
Speaker 1: ball against the Bills and had that magnificent game in
31:23
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and then had them in position to go to
31:28
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Right, he played well enough for all that,
31:30
Speaker 1: So I guess maybe my expectation is at some point
31:34
Speaker 1: he'll hit a hot streak where we will see some
31:37
Speaker 1: stretch of consistency from him. Not not this sixteen games,
31:41
Speaker 1: but how about this for the next three? Yeah, the
31:44
Speaker 1: next three of the buying week. Let's seek. Yeah, I
31:47
Speaker 1: don't think that's too much task. Hashtag no quasso. What's next?
31:52
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to josiph from Sacramento. With Bortles
31:56
Speaker 1: being an average QB at best, why didn't the front
31:59
Speaker 1: office not around Blake with better skill players on offense.
32:02
Speaker 1: An average QB plus okay receivers and tight end plus
32:06
Speaker 1: often injured running back equals lots of question marks? Yeah? Well,
32:12
Speaker 1: A big reason was a availability and be money. You know,
32:17
Speaker 1: you spent huge amounts on the defense over over a
32:22
Speaker 1: two year period, got them to elite um with the
32:26
Speaker 1: idea that you were going to be a defense oriented
32:31
Speaker 1: team that could run They also spent on the offensive line.
32:35
Speaker 1: They spent draft equity in Leonard four Net, Dante Moncrief
32:40
Speaker 1: and all Sinspiri and Jenkins were not paid what Claius
32:44
Speaker 1: Campbell what these defensive players were. They were meant to
32:48
Speaker 1: be pieces of the puzzle. Uh out of necessity. Had
32:54
Speaker 1: there been unbelievable player available for affordable rate, Sure they
33:01
Speaker 1: had done it, but that wasn't gonna be with This
33:03
Speaker 1: past off season was going to be about so Norwell
33:07
Speaker 1: being Norwell and for Net were the high priced acquisitions
33:13
Speaker 1: of the last couple of years for this offense. Well,
33:15
Speaker 1: if I if I answered the question by telling you
33:17
Speaker 1: how much they spent to upgrade the offense, it's thirty
33:20
Speaker 1: five million in salary this year, right, because they paid
33:23
Speaker 1: Marquise Ley nine million, and they gave Moncrief nine million,
33:26
Speaker 1: and Safarian Jenkins got four million dollars and Norwell got
33:29
Speaker 1: thirteen million. So if you look at thirty five million
33:32
Speaker 1: dollars in cash outlay this year, you'd say they did.
33:35
Speaker 1: Markiss is injured. Moncrief then has to take on a
33:39
Speaker 1: different rule, right, which was not the rule that they
33:42
Speaker 1: had envisioned for him, being that thousand yard receiver Austin
33:46
Speaker 1: Seferian Jenkins hadn't really got going but is now injured
33:50
Speaker 1: and Norwell is playing with a foot that slowed him down.
33:53
Speaker 1: Plus it was an ankle I think that bothered him
33:56
Speaker 1: in training quad. Believe okay, and he is down for
34:00
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. As your point, and I go
34:01
Speaker 1: back to what I said on Monday, if you came
34:03
Speaker 1: out of training camp thinking that you were going to
34:05
Speaker 1: be able to run the ball with four Nett and
34:08
Speaker 1: the other two t J and Corey, and we saw
34:11
Speaker 1: that in the Atlanta game, Um, you're not able to
34:16
Speaker 1: do that right now? Right That's what they haven't been
34:18
Speaker 1: able to. They haven't been able to be who they are.
34:20
Speaker 1: And you know, you wonder if with Corey grant out,
34:24
Speaker 1: if they'll be able once Leonard gets back and you
34:26
Speaker 1: start feeling like, okay, we're back to what we want
34:29
Speaker 1: to be. You wonder if they'll be able to get
34:32
Speaker 1: some semblance of that back. I don't know. Jamal Charles
34:35
Speaker 1: could have an interesting role in that because he's got
34:39
Speaker 1: a little versatility. He's he looks to me like a
34:41
Speaker 1: more explosive in his In his prime Net he was
34:44
Speaker 1: a more explosive t J yeld and he was that
34:46
Speaker 1: kind of a running back what the power back had
34:48
Speaker 1: some elusiveness with some speed. It was a nice combination
34:51
Speaker 1: good receiver as well as a great runner. Um. If
34:54
Speaker 1: you've got a guy who can come in and give
34:55
Speaker 1: you that and you get four net back, you could
34:58
Speaker 1: have a nice combination with him and t J. And
35:01
Speaker 1: of course I'm assuming that that's what he's going to
35:04
Speaker 1: be sure, but they signed it because he must have
35:05
Speaker 1: given them something in the workout, and then you're about
35:08
Speaker 1: to the identity that you had. All right, let's go
35:11
Speaker 1: to Fred from Naples. Good teams don't lose two in
35:15
Speaker 1: a row. I believe we've heard that at nausea in
35:17
Speaker 1: the past few weeks. Well, guess what, they don't win one,
35:21
Speaker 1: lose one, win one. Well you get my drift. Yeah,
35:24
Speaker 1: that's actually true, Fred. Uh No, I mean I'm not
35:27
Speaker 1: I'm not down on Freddred's fine. Uh, but that's really
35:31
Speaker 1: not true. Good teams do often lose one, win one,
35:36
Speaker 1: lose one, and then they hit a streak, much like
35:38
Speaker 1: the Jaguars did last year. Remember what good teams do
35:42
Speaker 1: in the NFL is you know that you're going to
35:45
Speaker 1: hit patches where you lose one when one you're trying
35:48
Speaker 1: to stay afloat. You're getting through an injury time. Most
35:52
Speaker 1: teams have crisis points where their fans write them off
35:55
Speaker 1: during the season. Uh, that's feels like it's sort of
35:59
Speaker 1: happening now. In some circles. The good teams stay afloat
36:03
Speaker 1: during that they do win one, lose one, and then
36:05
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they hit a streak where they
36:07
Speaker 1: win four and their back above Fred Fred. Just to
36:10
Speaker 1: go back to last year, they won, they lost, they won,
36:14
Speaker 1: they lost, they won, they lost. They didn't win back
36:17
Speaker 1: to back games until they played n Indy at the
36:19
Speaker 1: end of October, took the bike, came back and beat
36:22
Speaker 1: the Bengals without Leonard for net by the way, so
36:24
Speaker 1: they were three and three. So yes, they they did win, lose, win, lose, win, lose,
36:29
Speaker 1: And that's the way before we even knew what this
36:31
Speaker 1: team was. Right, and you typically make the playoffs at
36:34
Speaker 1: ten and six are better. Well, if you're ten and six,
36:38
Speaker 1: you're you've probably won one, lost one one one, lost
36:41
Speaker 1: one a couple of times at some point, at some point,
36:44
Speaker 1: all right, we'll take a break. The power rankings conversation

39:04
Speaker 1: on him now? Ryan, You these phones. They're not just
39:07
Speaker 1: for for calling your mom anymore. If you um, If
39:11
Speaker 1: you talk to certain people, it's crazy talk. Most kids
39:14

39:16
Speaker 1: I'll just text you. Yeah, But we can talk. Talking
39:20
Speaker 1: takes a lot of time. I'm with them. If it's
39:22
Speaker 1: a quick question. Just text ah youth. He said, all right,
39:29
Speaker 1: are you ready? I'm ready? Okay, Ashlan asked number one.
39:33
Speaker 1: And these are short phrases. We can't write paragraphs here.
39:36
Speaker 1: What is your biggest takeaway from the game in Kansas City?
39:41
Speaker 1: Sorry to bring it back. We got to discuss it
39:43
Speaker 1: a little bit. Could it be the poor offensive performance.
39:49
Speaker 1: Could it be Blake Bortle's for interceptions, Could it be
39:52
Speaker 1: the injuries? A lot of things, a lot of storylines
39:55
Speaker 1: against Kansas City? All right, my first sure, yeah, well,
40:04
Speaker 1: and I think that's what you hope is that it's
40:08
Speaker 1: yuck and you move on. But you know, for the
40:11
Speaker 1: sake of a topic and discussion, I would say the injuries.
40:14
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be necessarily worried about that game if it
40:20
Speaker 1: wasn't for the after effective Corey Grant being out of them,
40:24
Speaker 1: feeling a little more beat up. They drove the ball,
40:28
Speaker 1: They were able to function had they gotten off the
40:30
Speaker 1: field on third down and convert a couple opportunities. I
40:33
Speaker 1: think it's a close game at halftime, and I don't
40:35
Speaker 1: think anybody's nearly as worried if they go back to
40:39
Speaker 1: Arrowhead in the playoffs. I can certainly see many scenarios
40:44
Speaker 1: where they could come out of winner. So you know,
40:48
Speaker 1: I'm not as worried about the overall team as I
40:50
Speaker 1: am about the injuries and how you bounce back and
40:52
Speaker 1: again to steal Brian's line, how you find an offensive
40:57
Speaker 1: identity right now, I think that's really the issue. Injuries
41:02
Speaker 1: hurt and I'm going with the offensive line. I get
41:06
Speaker 1: the Corey Grant and obviously Leonard for Nett, but the
41:08
Speaker 1: offensive line throughout the course of the game, you had
41:11
Speaker 1: four guys who were on the injury report last week,
41:13
Speaker 1: which means they're not fully healthy. And then you lose
41:16
Speaker 1: Josh Wells, who by the way, had been struggling with
41:19
Speaker 1: with some soreness and some injuries anyway. Uh, and you're
41:22
Speaker 1: placing with Josh Walker, who has never played left tackle
41:24
Speaker 1: for you, um, your inability to protect with a backup
41:27
Speaker 1: tight end, and uh an undrafted rookie free agent running
41:32
Speaker 1: back in Brandon Wilds who's out there. Those injuries all
41:35
Speaker 1: combined to create the pressure situations that you alluded to
41:38
Speaker 1: earlier and really helped break down the offense. Not excusing
41:42
Speaker 1: the turnovers, you can't have that, but the injuries really
41:45
Speaker 1: put the offense in the situation where they couldn't help
41:48
Speaker 1: the defense. I said it on Monday. Through three quarters,
41:50
Speaker 1: you held the highest scoring offense in football to sixteen points.
41:54
Speaker 1: If the offense gives you anything in the second quarter
41:57
Speaker 1: or the third quarter that you can work with, you
42:00
Speaker 1: probably hold them to twenty three and you may win
42:02
Speaker 1: the game. Injuries along that offensive line, in particular, we're
42:06
Speaker 1: really painful for this team last week. You hope that
42:08
Speaker 1: they have a good week of rehab and they can
42:10
Speaker 1: get themselves back on the field. All right, Next question,
42:14
Speaker 1: who has a big week, big game this week? One
42:18
Speaker 1: player who bounces back against the Cowboys and outperforms everyone else.
42:26
Speaker 1: History would say it's maybe Blake Bortles. The roller coaster,
42:29
Speaker 1: up and down, up and down. I stumped Brian with
42:33
Speaker 1: this one. This is a tough one in John's writing paragraphs.
42:40
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Bryan, Oh wait here, wait, wait a minute,
42:45
Speaker 1: you're giving away your answer. Eyes on your own paper section.
42:51
Speaker 1: I almost wrote that one, and so I'm gonna go
42:54
Speaker 1: a different way entirely. They still have paper in school.
42:57
Speaker 1: Lash they don't know NI school didn't. I say, Calas Campbell. Now,
43:01
Speaker 1: it's not that he played poorly last week. But I
43:03
Speaker 1: think this is a week where we see his dominant
43:05
Speaker 1: traits come back out, if only because he sat in
43:08
Speaker 1: the locker room and said, I believe in my teammates.
43:12
Speaker 1: I know what we're made of. And I think this
43:15
Speaker 1: is a game where he shows the way. It's early
43:17
Speaker 1: enough in the season that a thirty two year old
43:19
Speaker 1: defensive lineman can still pull out a cannon whoop bass right,
43:24
Speaker 1: and I could see I could see him doing that
43:27
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I could see it. Now he's gonna have
43:30
Speaker 1: to do it maybe inside right because the tackles are
43:33
Speaker 1: pretty good, but he's still a guy who's capable of
43:36
Speaker 1: doing that. And I just have the sense that he's
43:38
Speaker 1: going to lead the way for that defense who didn't
43:41
Speaker 1: play as bad as it looked last week. I'm going
43:44
Speaker 1: with number nine. Yeah, he may not go against the
43:46
Speaker 1: guy who who plays as well as the guy he
43:48
Speaker 1: played last week. So uh, I'm gonna I'm gonna hope
43:53
Speaker 1: that I'm right here and say donte moncrief. And I
43:56
Speaker 1: know people watching it, oh, he's been he's been this well.
44:00
Speaker 1: I got a lot of emails ready to write the
44:02
Speaker 1: guy off this week, about six days after I had
44:05
Speaker 1: a hundred yard game. So what you hope is that
44:11
Speaker 1: he can grow a little bit more into this uh
44:14
Speaker 1: number one role. I guess he's in or the number
44:17
Speaker 1: one big guy role and start being a little more consistent,
44:21
Speaker 1: or maybe like Blake, be a guy who's going to
44:24
Speaker 1: give them some spectacular and then some go away. Um. Probably,
44:29
Speaker 1: I'm more hopeful that the entire receiving corps can step up,
44:35
Speaker 1: because if you get down to it, the receivers are
44:39
Speaker 1: getting to the point where they're they're your most reliable,
44:42
Speaker 1: they're your most healthy group, and they may be the
44:45
Speaker 1: group with the most hope on offense right now. If
44:47
Speaker 1: you take Chark coming along, Moncrief, Uh, Cole, and Westbrook
44:53
Speaker 1: have all had some flashes. Maybe they're ready to start
44:58
Speaker 1: stepping up and being a little bit it more of
45:00
Speaker 1: the core of the offense. I can't say the receiver
45:01
Speaker 1: is gonna be the core, because it's gonna be a
45:02
Speaker 1: running team, but maybe a little bit more consistency of
45:05
Speaker 1: that group. If there was a one a, it might
45:07
Speaker 1: be this guy who struggled with d Ford last week.
45:09
Speaker 1: It's gonna keep listening, guys. I mean, okay, here we go, John,
45:13
Speaker 1: you go ahead to make a last mine. Yeah, um,
45:16
Speaker 1: former cowboy going back to Dallas to play for the
45:18
Speaker 1: first time since he signed with Jacksonville a few seasons back. Uh.
45:22
Speaker 1: He needs to have a better game. He needs to
45:24
Speaker 1: step up. He needs step up, and I kind of
45:27
Speaker 1: get the sense that maybe he will. Sean I would
45:29
Speaker 1: actually make cutlists. I's got my little stary here, Blake, Jamn,
45:34
Speaker 1: keep going. You can't read that. You guys talking about yourself.
45:41
Speaker 1: Another one who needs to step up. Got to bring
45:44
Speaker 1: better verbs this week? John more adjectives mixing an adverb
45:48
Speaker 1: every once in a while. Dang it, I stumped him.
45:57
Speaker 1: All right, No, we have lost one last last class.
46:00
Speaker 1: I thought I gave all my If you to pick
46:03
Speaker 1: one word describe Jamal Charles, what would it be. It
46:07
Speaker 1: can be about the contribution he's going to have this team.
46:11
Speaker 1: It could be that you think he's nice because we
46:14
Speaker 1: can go a lot of options here. Are we're gonna
46:16
Speaker 1: pick one Are we gonna make a list again, We're
46:17
Speaker 1: gonna pick one one word now, Brian, you spoke to
46:24
Speaker 1: him so you could say that friendly that doesn't matter
46:29
Speaker 1: in football. Football is not a friendly game. This isn't
46:31
Speaker 1: this isn't a personal question, but nice hair, John, I
46:38
Speaker 1: think John's going Okay, I had a list and make one.
46:48
Speaker 1: All right, John, are you ready? I'll leave Brian to
46:51
Speaker 1: the personality because I haven't actually met him. All I'm
46:53
Speaker 1: not I'm not going to personality. I'm going to what
46:55
Speaker 1: I think he'll bring as a football. Okay, I'm gonna
46:57
Speaker 1: say functional and with a hope that he can be
47:03
Speaker 1: what he was for a eleventh year guy. I don't
47:07
Speaker 1: expect the dynamic Jamaal Charles, who at one point was
47:11
Speaker 1: maybe the best offensive weapon in the league. If he
47:14
Speaker 1: can give you a flash of that, fine. I hope
47:17
Speaker 1: that the Jaguar's sake, that he can be functional and
47:20
Speaker 1: spell t j Yelden at times until Fournette gets back,
47:24
Speaker 1: and then maybe give you a burst every now and
47:26
Speaker 1: then after that. I think our words are similar. Yeah,
47:30
Speaker 1: with dependable because he is a guy who understands the
47:33
Speaker 1: game ten years in the league, has been around. Um,
47:37
Speaker 1: you can rely on him and pass protection. He's got
47:40
Speaker 1: terrific hands, if not the same athleticism and speed that
47:43
Speaker 1: he had as a much younger man, but a guy
47:45
Speaker 1: who look, let's use Adrian Peterson as an example. Okay,
47:49
Speaker 1: starts in New Orleans last year, ends up last season
47:52
Speaker 1: in Arizona and gave them two big one yard games. Okay,
47:55
Speaker 1: then this year he already had a big hundred yard
47:57
Speaker 1: game for the Washington Redskins. If you can somehow get
48:01
Speaker 1: a hundred yard game out of him somehow in the
48:03
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, that's asking a lot, I get it.
48:06
Speaker 1: But if you get eight seven yard game or something
48:10
Speaker 1: like that out of him, then he will have been
48:13
Speaker 1: worth it and he will help you win a ball game.
48:16
Speaker 1: And I think I think, if I'm judging on looking
48:20
Speaker 1: at him yesterday and talking to some people about his workout,
48:23
Speaker 1: that he's in good shape and he's ready to play.
48:25
Speaker 1: How long have you known Tom coffin Bright, I'll go
48:28
Speaker 1: on twenty five years. Have you ever seen him do
48:30
Speaker 1: a cart wheel? Because he'd be doing that if they
48:35
Speaker 1: get two yard games at him. Yea, I hope they do.
48:37
Speaker 1: Be fantastic if you do, and I would, I would.
48:42
Speaker 1: I would try to record that on my phone. First,
48:45
Speaker 1: you know what I'm not talking about. At five point
48:48
Speaker 1: three nine yard per carry, if he gives you twenty
48:51
Speaker 1: two carries and gets there, it gets the ninety six yards.
48:54
Speaker 1: I mean, you'd be thrilled that you're able to do that.
48:56
Speaker 1: I agree with you on the Adrian Peterson analogy. You know,
49:00
Speaker 1: he's not the two thousand yard sports center guy anymore,
49:04
Speaker 1: but he's been able to give them something, and that's
49:06
Speaker 1: what you hope against hope Jamal Charles can give. I
49:10
Speaker 1: love what Jamal Charles was saying yesterday about what he
49:12
Speaker 1: wants to bring and start a new career. That's that's fine.
49:17
Speaker 1: Let's hope deep down he wants to be reliable and
49:21
Speaker 1: give them what any all right, That's all I got
49:24
Speaker 1: for Ashlan ask By the way, as a veteran guy,
49:28
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's what he wants to tweets to tweet
49:33
Speaker 1: interrupted my song? How rude do we play anymore? All Right, Joe,
49:46
Speaker 1: don't feed into this. Absolutely don't buy into the legend. Okay, alright?
49:52
Speaker 1: Top tweet number one is the guy we were just
49:54
Speaker 1: talking about. Jamal Charles tweeted this right after his contract
49:58
Speaker 1: signing God's plans. We heard that a few times, and
50:01
Speaker 1: you're interview with him. I don't mean to be sacrilegious.
50:03
Speaker 1: I hope God's plan is for him to have a
50:04
Speaker 1: couple of big days. Well, and there is something to
50:08
Speaker 1: this now he Uh, he probably could have been in
50:13
Speaker 1: a camp earlier this year. Uh. And clearly he's at
50:17
Speaker 1: the point where he wants to be in a super Bowl.
50:19
Speaker 1: So that's the thing that gives you hope. And perhaps
50:22
Speaker 1: he has something left. He was waiting for a chance
50:26
Speaker 1: to get with the right team and to take advantage
50:29
Speaker 1: of that, and that's what he can get. If he
50:32
Speaker 1: can contribute to that, then for a month or you know,
50:36
Speaker 1: you know, for a month, be a dependable guy, then
50:39
Speaker 1: perhaps perhaps all right, the next one, Jalen Ramsey, we
50:43
Speaker 1: have to feature him every week. My brother is a
50:45
Speaker 1: j and get popped them interceptions off and now we're
50:48
Speaker 1: about to get right with God. We can overcome any adversity.
50:51
Speaker 1: Believe that. Oh and watch the film. We definitely have
50:54
Speaker 1: been having him and locked. Don't be fooled. Now. There
50:58
Speaker 1: was a lot of backlash on this. I was reading
50:59
Speaker 1: the calm Monston Jaguars fans. How could you say that?
51:02
Speaker 1: What do you mean you Adham Unlock? Well, he only
51:05
Speaker 1: gave up the one big play and you're talking about
51:07
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, maybe the most explosive player in the league.
51:09
Speaker 1: I would say he played pretty well against him and
51:11
Speaker 1: I don't have a snap count, but I was down
51:14
Speaker 1: there watching and he seemed to grab hill whether he
51:17
Speaker 1: was inside on the left side of the offense or
51:20
Speaker 1: outside on the right, travel with himself and by the way,
51:23
Speaker 1: A J. Boye did too, he didn't get free. They're
51:26
Speaker 1: playing fine. They're They're still the best two corners in
51:29
Speaker 1: the NFL. H there the feedback and the kickback right now,
51:36
Speaker 1: they're three and two and fans expecting to be tennano
51:39
Speaker 1: after week five. Well, that would be record, So that
51:43
Speaker 1: would be something, right. The expectations super high, and that's fine.
51:47
Speaker 1: And even the best cover corners are not going to
51:51
Speaker 1: give up zero for zero. The NFL doesn't work that
51:54
Speaker 1: way anymore, all right. Last top tweet. We talked about
51:57
Speaker 1: it yesterday with Brent Martineo and Jeff Logman, but I
51:58
Speaker 1: wanted to get your guys a pin this Austin Sparion
52:01
Speaker 1: Jenkins so early in the season to crown teams. That's
52:04
Speaker 1: the problem with our generation zero maturation eleven games to go.
52:08
Speaker 1: Trust me, the Jags will grow now. They tweeted this
52:11
Speaker 1: out after his injury. I like him, I think he's
52:14
Speaker 1: got good insight. I'll miss him in the locker room
52:16
Speaker 1: because after a game, win or lose. He was a
52:19
Speaker 1: straight shooter and I gave great insight. Hopefully they're able
52:24
Speaker 1: to get him back. He was a presence in the
52:26
Speaker 1: blocking game. I'm not sure Grinage or O'Shaughnessy or Niles
52:32
Speaker 1: Paul can be that for them. They'll miss him, and
52:37
Speaker 1: this is something that often is lost among fans and analysts.
52:43
Speaker 1: The teams do change during the season. The Jaguars were
52:47
Speaker 1: not a team last year. There was gonna be four
52:48
Speaker 1: minutes from the super Bowl after they lost to the
52:50
Speaker 1: Rams out here, and and and fell to three and
52:52
Speaker 1: three in which they were run over by Girley in
52:55
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Right, so what you are after five
52:59
Speaker 1: weeks is not going to be what you are in
53:01
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And I know I'm sounding like a coach
53:03
Speaker 1: here or but that's fine. But what they do over
53:07
Speaker 1: the next eleven games will matter far more than the
53:11
Speaker 1: first five. Right now, they're in position, uh, they're in
53:14
Speaker 1: a little bit of trouble with the offense in terms
53:18
Speaker 1: of if if they don't get that right, then all
53:21
Speaker 1: of a sudden, three and two could turn into five
53:23
Speaker 1: and five. But if they grow, if they improve the
53:28
Speaker 1: way they did last year or last ten games. They're fine,
53:30
Speaker 1: they have to do that again, and it's not assumed
53:32
Speaker 1: that it will. That's it, Ashlyn asks. We call it
53:37
Speaker 1: the Ashlyn segment of the show. We just did. We'll
53:44
Speaker 1: take a break, make back with the all important Power ranking.

55:36
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, who is America's team a curveball? Say other? No?
55:42
Speaker 1: I think I think I anticipated this, and I think
55:45
Speaker 1: I anticipated the other question. I thought it might make
55:48
Speaker 1: for good context. Oh good comments. My favorite one so
55:51
Speaker 1: far is um the Jaguars, John duh Ortals is America?
55:56
Speaker 1: Didn't you know? I'm refraining this question towards you? Okay? Yeah, America, America, America? Okay.
56:06
Speaker 1: I would have liked it better for said America. I'd
56:08
Speaker 1: vote for him for president right now? Wow. Okay, I
56:12
Speaker 1: follow him anywhere, Brian. There are some people who are
56:16
Speaker 1: reading your column who say, yeah, no, Dub, You've been
56:18
Speaker 1: doing that for more than a year. He's loyal. He's loyal,
56:21
Speaker 1: all right. Important with the big asterix, we need like
56:26
Speaker 1: an asterisk that comes slamming into the screen. Don't wears,
56:30
Speaker 1: but it makes for good banter. Who's first? Okay? So
56:35
Speaker 1: the graphic up there because I forget who I put.
56:37
Speaker 1: I think I went with the Rams because that was
56:41
Speaker 1: an impressive come from behind wind Obviously Kansas City, UH,
56:44
Speaker 1: Saints or four and one after starting there were some
56:47
Speaker 1: questions about their defense, which hadn't been playing well early on,
56:50
Speaker 1: but with Drew Brees it doesn't appear to matter. The
56:53
Speaker 1: Bengals surging the Bears with the big win. Uh, And
56:56
Speaker 1: I've got the Jaguars sitting at number seven, the Titans
57:00
Speaker 1: in between them there at number six. I have Rams,
57:04
Speaker 1: Chief Saints. Similar to Brian, I switched Bears and Bengals,
57:08
Speaker 1: Bears a bye week, going to play the Dolphins this week.
57:10
Speaker 1: You slapped the Boys, you dropped them all the way
57:12
Speaker 1: to nine. I did because I have in front of
57:14
Speaker 1: them the Panthers, the Patriots, and the Titans, who I
57:17
Speaker 1: believe are better teams right now than the Patriots. Beat
57:20
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Correct, correct, But they're a better team right now.
57:23
Speaker 1: They've been playing better. Max. Just Max is screaming in
57:27
Speaker 1: my ear. How could you Alright, Well, that's you know,
57:31
Speaker 1: that's your prerogative. Ashland's Power rankings. John, she's asserting herself
57:37
Speaker 1: this morning, John sassy. Yeah, and I have the Jaguars eight.
57:44
Speaker 1: I have the Patriots below them. I believe I have
57:47
Speaker 1: the Titans in their six or seven. I'm holding with
57:51
Speaker 1: the Chiefs because until they get beat I feel like
57:54
Speaker 1: they're the best team. I feel like their offense is
57:57
Speaker 1: it's gonna be difficult to stop. But the Rams in
57:59
Speaker 1: the Chiefs to me or you know, obviously they're unbeaten.
58:03
Speaker 1: Uh so they're the two best, And I would uh
58:08
Speaker 1: say there's a pretty big separation right now. If you're
58:10
Speaker 1: looking for national opinion, most teams are most of the
58:14
Speaker 1: people who do these have the jag We're somewhere between
58:17
Speaker 1: seven and ten. Which you know, when you take a
58:19
Speaker 1: loss like that, when most of the country is seeing
58:22
Speaker 1: your game is fair, you expect that. Yeah, I mean,
58:24
Speaker 1: I I uh, I could see the artament for driving
58:27
Speaker 1: them further if your reactionary. Well, but when they lost
58:30
Speaker 1: to a really good team, and one of the teams
58:32
Speaker 1: that that kind of belongs in that discussion is the Ravens,
58:35
Speaker 1: and they got beat with the Browns and sports six points,
58:38
Speaker 1: So I mean there were some The Eagles got beat,
58:40
Speaker 1: you know again, So what you've got is you've got
58:43
Speaker 1: some teams that are you know, the Vikings, the Eagles,
58:46
Speaker 1: the Ravens, the Jaguars who are a notch below the
58:50
Speaker 1: teams at the very top, and they're all kind of
58:52
Speaker 1: bunched up there between five and ten. Right. It's a
58:54
Speaker 1: week to weekly absolutely all right. We're a day to
58:57
Speaker 1: day show, by the way, and we will be back
58:59
Speaker 1: tomorrow as Lynn and myself. We will have Brian brought
