- 0:31Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive Time here wrapping up the week, getting ready
- 0:34Speaker 1: for the Jaguars head to Nashville tomorrow to take on
- 0:38Speaker 1: the Titans. I think we should discuss a little more
- 0:42Speaker 1: in depth the run defense. I was going to start with.
- 0:45Speaker 1: You know, Max is producing the show today, get a
- 0:49Speaker 1: bridge shot. Max is happy, reaver wants to get right
- 0:54Speaker 1: to it. That's why his name is stone cold Max.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Like Max gives us the shot. We appreciate that. Max
- 0:59Speaker 1: brains some baggage, and he's happy. This morning he came
- 1:04Speaker 1: in slapping the shoulder. How you doing? Like the shirt?
- 1:06Speaker 1: You know, he is a happy, happy guy and we
- 1:09Speaker 1: got the bridge shot, which makes me happy. So he's
- 1:12Speaker 1: doing something right. I'm not that happy with him because
- 1:14Speaker 1: I brought a box of munchkins to work today and
- 1:17Speaker 1: he said he didn't want any, and I went this morning, thinking,
- 1:20Speaker 1: good for I'll get these munchkins for Max. Stay strong.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Now I'm going to eat all of them. Great, stay strong, Max,
- 1:27Speaker 1: That's what we need. But you know what I've done
- 1:29Speaker 1: here is I've deflected this away from the run defense,
- 1:31Speaker 1: which is what the point I was trying to make this.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Aren't we tired of talking about that? Todd washer as
- 1:37Speaker 1: he walked into his news conference yesterday, guys ready talking
- 1:40Speaker 1: about the past defense? Huh? You know? I mean he was.
- 1:42Speaker 1: He went into great depth in detail about the run defense. However,
- 1:46Speaker 1: he was tired of talking about it too, as I
- 1:49Speaker 1: think we all are a little bit. It has been
- 1:51Speaker 1: the key of the week. Obviously it has to get fixed,
- 1:53Speaker 1: but we know now the problem. It's the key, and
- 1:58Speaker 1: we'll stop talking about it when they talking about it
- 2:00Speaker 1: and get it done. Yeah. That's the bottom line, And
- 2:04Speaker 1: you're right, there's not there's not much more to say.
- 2:07Speaker 1: But beyond that, there's not a bigger key to this
- 2:09Speaker 1: game and had a bigger key to this team. To me,
- 2:12Speaker 1: it's it has defined the season because it's been so
- 2:15Speaker 1: fundamental in three losses that if you had stopped the
- 2:18Speaker 1: run against Carolina, against the Colts and against the Texans.
- 2:22Speaker 1: You would have been competitive in those games, and if
- 2:24Speaker 1: you'd won the last two, you might have won one
- 2:26Speaker 1: if you hadn't stopped the wrong and you're in first peint.
- 2:29Speaker 1: So uh. For whatever else, we're trying to pick a
- 2:32Speaker 1: part about this team, there's allowed to pick apart. You
- 2:35Speaker 1: keep kind of saying, yeah, the passage, but if the
- 2:38Speaker 1: run defense is better, to be better, well the offense.
- 2:40Speaker 1: But if it all goes back to that right now,
- 2:42Speaker 1: and I'm not sure they can fix it, we'll see,
- 2:44Speaker 1: all right, So let's get into big things. Head coach
- 2:46Speaker 1: done Moround taking age break from coffee with the coach
- 2:49Speaker 1: this week. He'll be back with us next week. He
- 2:51Speaker 1: was tired talking about the run defense, and I don't
- 2:53Speaker 1: blame the man. Big thing one must win question mark.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Can we even call this a must when at this
- 2:59Speaker 1: point I'm not even talking about a wild card birth
- 3:02Speaker 1: playoff picture. Is this a must win just for the
- 3:05Speaker 1: well being of the rest of the season. We'll get
- 3:07Speaker 1: into that big thing too, is the personality. Has this
- 3:11Speaker 1: team shifted to a modern passing offense that we thought
- 3:14Speaker 1: would come with John d. Filippo and Nick Fools or
- 3:17Speaker 1: is it still built to run the ball, even though
- 3:20Speaker 1: we have not seen that the past two games. What
- 3:23Speaker 1: is the personality of this offense, personality of this defense?
- 3:26Speaker 1: Is it still a great defense? Can you call it that?
- 3:28Speaker 1: Even with problems that run defense? Big things the Big
- 3:32Speaker 1: Thing three professional football is about the money players, contracts,
- 3:38Speaker 1: jobs on the line. At this point, you hate to
- 3:39Speaker 1: say it, you don't want to talk about it, but
- 3:41Speaker 1: it's to the point of the season where you kind
- 3:44Speaker 1: of have to start mentioning these things well and look,
- 3:46Speaker 1: Big Thing three and Big Thing one tie together. The
- 3:49Speaker 1: reason that it feels like a must win around here
- 3:52Speaker 1: this week is you have guys who don't want to
- 3:55Speaker 1: worry about their job security. They don't want to have
- 3:58Speaker 1: to go home and tell their wives, Hey, start thinking
- 4:01Speaker 1: about where we're gonna put the kids in school next year,
- 4:03Speaker 1: which is the conversation that you have when you're worried
- 4:05Speaker 1: about losing your job. And that's not just coaches, that's
- 4:08Speaker 1: players as well. It feels like a must win because
- 4:13Speaker 1: you played or you had a top tweet a couple
- 4:15Speaker 1: of days ago. With Shod Khan's comments from last December,
- 4:20Speaker 1: these guys feel the pressure to turn this thing around.
- 4:24Speaker 1: And as I've said all week, broken record. A third
- 4:27Speaker 1: of the season remains. They can do that. So it
- 4:30Speaker 1: feels like it's got to start on Sunday against the
- 4:32Speaker 1: team that you beat here, that you know how they play.
- 4:36Speaker 1: You simply have to be better against the run. Yeah,
- 4:39Speaker 1: they have to decide that that's do and that they're
- 4:43Speaker 1: gonna do, and that they're gonna get off blocks and
- 4:45Speaker 1: all those things we talked about a week. Um is
- 4:48Speaker 1: it is a big thing too time yet, or it
- 4:51Speaker 1: can mean whatever you want. There's no personality because they
- 4:54Speaker 1: stunk on offense last week, you know, And I say
- 4:58Speaker 1: that a little for saciously, but there's no personal and
- 5:01Speaker 1: defense right now. If you don't succeed, you don't know personality.
- 5:04Speaker 1: I get the point of the big thing. I'm not
- 5:07Speaker 1: I'm not diminishing it. But you can't say they're a
- 5:09Speaker 1: passing offense when they were as bad passing the ball
- 5:12Speaker 1: as they were last week. You can't say they're running
- 5:14Speaker 1: offense right now, they're a bad offense until they show
- 5:17Speaker 1: us differently. I think they may be trying to get
- 5:19Speaker 1: the personality of a passing offense. I wonder if they
- 5:22Speaker 1: know what their personality is right now. That's the point,
- 5:25Speaker 1: But I'm not Again, I'm not completely convinced that a
- 5:29Speaker 1: Flip wanted to run nine times. I don't think that's
- 5:32Speaker 1: the ratio he wanted. Um. I think they're getting a
- 5:34Speaker 1: little bit of a bad rap for the second half
- 5:36Speaker 1: of that game, because I don't know. They ran three
- 5:40Speaker 1: times the second half, all on the first drive when
- 5:43Speaker 1: they were down by ten, already got the ball back
- 5:45Speaker 1: down by seventeen. Uh where you standing on the sideline saying, hey,
- 5:50Speaker 1: you gotta turn the ball and give it the Leonard
- 5:51Speaker 1: at that point, so they gotta wait. But I get it.
- 5:54Speaker 1: But that's my point is I don't think that's going
- 5:57Speaker 1: to be the m O going forward. I don't think
- 5:58Speaker 1: it would have been even if they're and man to
- 6:00Speaker 1: talk about it this week. Big pictures that teams still
- 6:04Speaker 1: take Leonard away or try to take Leonard away. The
- 6:07Speaker 1: question that I have is is what should the personality
- 6:10Speaker 1: of this team be? It at times looks like a
- 6:14Speaker 1: power running game, but at times it appears they don't
- 6:16Speaker 1: want to be a power running game. They want to
- 6:18Speaker 1: put the ball in the hands of playmakers on the outside.
- 6:20Speaker 1: And if you have D. D. West Brooklyn DJ Jark,
- 6:23Speaker 1: why wouldn't you want to try something like that. I
- 6:26Speaker 1: guess fundamentally, I'm saying, you know, sitting at four and
- 6:28Speaker 1: six here, what is the personality of this team or
- 6:32Speaker 1: what is it built to be? I think it most likely.
- 6:36Speaker 1: I think that's a little bit of the problems of vice.
- 6:38Speaker 1: You don't know your ten games in and I think
- 6:42Speaker 1: everybody watching it who really follows this team, we've talked
- 6:44Speaker 1: about a little bit. They want to be a running team.
- 6:48Speaker 1: The stats show that they're running team. There are flashes
- 6:51Speaker 1: where they're running team. And yet in the second quarter
- 6:57Speaker 1: when it's a three point game, have you run well
- 7:00Speaker 1: enough this year consistently enough to feel like I know,
- 7:03Speaker 1: if I turned the ball in handed to Lennard, we're
- 7:05Speaker 1: gonna get four or or is it going to be
- 7:07Speaker 1: like it wasn't a third quarter where he ran three
- 7:09Speaker 1: times for negative to I'm not putting on the letter.
- 7:11Speaker 1: I think the offensive line has not been consistent enough
- 7:13Speaker 1: in front of him. They haven't run well enough to
- 7:16Speaker 1: believe they're running team when push comes to see. And
- 7:19Speaker 1: my understanding of this last week's game in talking to
- 7:22Speaker 1: people was not only was the blocking only okay in
- 7:25Speaker 1: the run game, he missed those holes when they did
- 7:29Speaker 1: create them, so it was completely disjointed. It was as
- 7:32Speaker 1: if they were not a running team that was trying
- 7:34Speaker 1: to run the ball. I just in two thousand seventeen,
- 7:38Speaker 1: we know what this team was built to do. It
- 7:40Speaker 1: was run the ball, used play action off the top
- 7:43Speaker 1: of it. But more than that, play to the defensive strength.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Let the defense rest enough to come out on the
- 7:48Speaker 1: field and make place, because their defense that year was
- 7:52Speaker 1: good enough when they had these similar Remember second half
- 7:55Speaker 1: of that season. Last year, they were not a good
- 7:56Speaker 1: running team. They were dynamite for for a games, and
- 8:00Speaker 1: then in the second half, maybe the last eight games,
- 8:03Speaker 1: they couldn't run and they needed runs. What happened in
- 8:05Speaker 1: New England? You know what, they didn't It wasn't there.
- 8:08Speaker 1: So if they're going to be a running team, they
- 8:15Speaker 1: have to be better at it to trust it. And
- 8:18Speaker 1: that's kind of self evident. No, I get it. I
- 8:20Speaker 1: agree with you. I think they are are sort of lost.
- 8:23Speaker 1: But when teams aren't very good, they're sort of lost.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Not very good right now, Well let's take it to
- 8:26Speaker 1: a different point of conversation. Then, who's your best offensive player? Okay,
- 8:32Speaker 1: so I would have said and have said Leonard for that,
- 8:35Speaker 1: although I get the argument you're making for it. If
- 8:37Speaker 1: d J. Chark is your best offensive play your passing team,
- 8:42Speaker 1: I think you're making the argument for both. But based
- 8:44Speaker 1: on the past two weeks, I think he's got eight touchdowns.
- 8:48Speaker 1: He's the guy that's made the biggest plays this year.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Leonard has two or three runs of over sixty yards,
- 8:53Speaker 1: three over fifty, two over sixty. He's made big place too,
- 8:55Speaker 1: but they haven't resulted in touchdowns because you just enumerated
- 9:00Speaker 1: the reasons why this team has not run consistently. But
- 9:02Speaker 1: if d J. Chark is your best offensive player, hey,
- 9:06Speaker 1: guess what, you're a passing team. By the way, you
- 9:09Speaker 1: have a twenty million dollar your quarterback. Now you're a
- 9:10Speaker 1: passing team. That's what you are. His second best, don't.
- 9:19Speaker 1: I don't dislike, and I just he's been a disappointment
- 9:21Speaker 1: for all. The offensive line has been up and down,
- 9:28Speaker 1: you know, and Noel you know, has been probably better
- 9:32Speaker 1: than you believe, but not good enough. And I think
- 9:36Speaker 1: that's pretty much the whole offensive line. Well, I will
- 9:40Speaker 1: I will separate you Wan Taylor from this because at
- 9:42Speaker 1: times he looks dominant, he looks like he is going
- 9:45Speaker 1: to be an All Pro caliber player this year, and
- 9:47Speaker 1: you have many holding pen Yeah, I know you, and
- 9:50Speaker 1: I agree with you. It's coming for him. But right now,
- 9:55Speaker 1: within the content that we're talking about, the performance, he
- 9:57Speaker 1: still has to learn some things. But he is a
- 10:00Speaker 1: tremendous football player and an absolute anchor that you can
- 10:03Speaker 1: build the rest of your line around. Yet you hope
- 10:05Speaker 1: to do so. All right, when we come back, he will,
- 10:07Speaker 1: he won't, he might hear. On the Jaguars Digital Network

- 12:42Speaker 1: players who might do something, will do something, and won't
- 12:45Speaker 1: do something John Has Clays Campbell, and I struggle with
- 12:50Speaker 1: this one that he will I think a play better
- 12:54Speaker 1: than he did last week. And the first couple on
- 12:56Speaker 1: this are more about how he played last week because
- 13:00Speaker 1: there's been a lot of criticism of Miles Jack's but
- 13:02Speaker 1: a lot of CHRISTI and a lot of people Clais
- 13:04Speaker 1: had one of his worst gamescins he's been here last week. Um,
- 13:07Speaker 1: he won't do that again because I do think he's
- 13:10Speaker 1: at a point of his career where it's gonna be
- 13:13Speaker 1: tough to be at a high, high level every week.
- 13:16Speaker 1: He's what twelve year guy. And that's the other he won't.
- 13:22Speaker 1: I don't think he will play as many snaps because
- 13:24Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to continue to try to
- 13:26Speaker 1: use him on the inside as much. And that's a
- 13:29Speaker 1: tricky thing. It's part of the reason that they're having
- 13:31Speaker 1: trouble finding a spot for Josh Allen and Bass because
- 13:35Speaker 1: Calais really is to the point of his career. We
- 13:37Speaker 1: can play effectively inside anymore. And that's a tough thing
- 13:40Speaker 1: because he was so good at that two years ago.
- 13:42Speaker 1: But at some point something falls off and he might
- 13:45Speaker 1: And I hate to say that this might be the
- 13:48Speaker 1: last six games for him here, and uh again, I
- 13:52Speaker 1: said that last year. The reason I sort of bring
- 13:54Speaker 1: it up as as he might and not a definite.
- 13:56Speaker 1: We said that last year with six games ago, and
- 13:58Speaker 1: he turned it on and was believable for six games.
- 14:01Speaker 1: You wonder if he has that in him. Um. I
- 14:04Speaker 1: don't want to frame this like he has been bad
- 14:06Speaker 1: this year, because over the course of ten games he
- 14:09Speaker 1: has been key. He had great game against Tennessee. He's
- 14:11Speaker 1: been good a lot. But I don't think he's quite
- 14:13Speaker 1: the same player he was a couple of years ago, obviously,
- 14:15Speaker 1: because he's not a defensive m v P, which he
- 14:18Speaker 1: which he could and should have been. But you know,
- 14:21Speaker 1: it's interesting to watch the last six games. If he's
- 14:24Speaker 1: at the end here, if he's starting to decline. I
- 14:27Speaker 1: hope not. He's a seventeen million dollar guy next year,
- 14:30Speaker 1: and that when you say he might be playing his
- 14:34Speaker 1: last six games here, the question mark is how much
- 14:37Speaker 1: will he take? Sure? You know what I mean, because
- 14:39Speaker 1: the Daggars would love to have him as part of
- 14:41Speaker 1: their team, but a guy who's going into his thirteenth season,
- 14:44Speaker 1: it's tough to justify paying seventeen million unless you're playing
- 14:46Speaker 1: at that level. Well, with that money, the question is
- 14:51Speaker 1: obviously you would have him here until his cleats fell off.
- 14:55Speaker 1: And but with that kind of money, you need him
- 15:00Speaker 1: to be able to play the role, which is to
- 15:02Speaker 1: be the strong end on base kick inside and be effective.
- 15:07Speaker 1: If he can't do both of those, can you pay
- 15:09Speaker 1: him that or does it have to be can for
- 15:13Speaker 1: a different role where he's not on the field as much.
- 15:16Speaker 1: And that's the tricky spot, because he's good enough and
- 15:19Speaker 1: effective enough at times that you figure somebody's going to
- 15:22Speaker 1: pay him for those last couple of years, because that's
- 15:24Speaker 1: what people do in free agency. So we'll see, well, well,
- 15:28Speaker 1: we talked about this later, but the question is how
- 15:31Speaker 1: much money are you willing to pay him? First? How
- 15:34Speaker 1: much someone else would he stay in the system? He's
- 15:36Speaker 1: comfortable and and and those are all questions that have
- 15:39Speaker 1: yet to be answered. But I just want to relay
- 15:41Speaker 1: a quick story. Um. The Jecks run defense obviously was
- 15:44Speaker 1: horrendous on Sunday and Indie and he's a big part
- 15:46Speaker 1: of that. And right after the game, he was sitting
- 15:48Speaker 1: at his locker and pek have and I walked up
- 15:52Speaker 1: to him and said, do you want to talk down
- 15:54Speaker 1: and he said, might as well. And he stood there.
- 15:56Speaker 1: He knew that everyone was coming to him afterwards, and
- 16:00Speaker 1: answered every question and there were some tough ones. And
- 16:03Speaker 1: he looked you in the eye. He wasn't smiling, but
- 16:05Speaker 1: he wasn't growling like some other people do. Um defensive
- 16:10Speaker 1: end on the other side, right, doesn't look like he
- 16:13Speaker 1: wants to to eat you. And afterwards I said thanks,
- 16:17Speaker 1: And he just did this. He gets it. He's a
- 16:19Speaker 1: total There aren't There aren't enough guys in the league,
- 16:25Speaker 1: let alone the locker room who are that good. No,
- 16:29Speaker 1: he is. He's a He's a benchmark face of the franchise,
- 16:33Speaker 1: face of the league. Guy. He's a in three years,
- 16:36Speaker 1: has earned a spot in the pride of the Jaguars.
- 16:38Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned, no question right. So the
- 16:40Speaker 1: point now when you start thinking, you know how different
- 16:43Speaker 1: it would be if he wasn't here. He talked about
- 16:44Speaker 1: it a little bit with the community visit to n
- 16:46Speaker 1: S Jacks yesterday we did are all Access TV show
- 16:49Speaker 1: from Mayport and the face of everyone when he walks
- 16:53Speaker 1: on that ship and you think, man, the Jaguars are
- 16:55Speaker 1: really going to miss that next year if he's not here,
- 16:57Speaker 1: because there's no one even close to filling the shoes
- 17:00Speaker 1: right now. Well, a player and a special person, you
- 17:05Speaker 1: don't get that that The thing we're saying is not
- 17:10Speaker 1: a criticism of everybody. It's hard to be as as
- 17:14Speaker 1: good on the field as good in preparation. We're talking
- 17:17Speaker 1: a plus human being, a plus prep guy. Uh, he's
- 17:22Speaker 1: the gold standards. It's why it's hard, It's why it's
- 17:25Speaker 1: why not everybody is a defensive m v P when
- 17:28Speaker 1: they're in there. Probably, And is he worth it in
- 17:30Speaker 1: terms of everything he brings. Absolutely, he's worth every penny
- 17:33Speaker 1: that you have paid him, without a doubt. It's just
- 17:36Speaker 1: as I have said here many times, you can't pay
- 17:38Speaker 1: everybody what they're worth forever. You can't as much as
- 17:41Speaker 1: you'd like to. So John's thinking of himself. I've lived
- 17:46Speaker 1: that life, right, Who do you have? Technic fools? Um?
- 17:51Speaker 1: I say he will play a much more efficient game.
- 17:55Speaker 1: I don't know whether that's because the play calling is
- 17:58Speaker 1: going to be different, because they're gonna run the ball
- 18:01Speaker 1: and have play action. But he was off last week
- 18:05Speaker 1: in terms of his ball placement, and he will look
- 18:07Speaker 1: much better this week. The speed of practice and the
- 18:11Speaker 1: speed of the game are two entirely different propositions, and
- 18:17Speaker 1: talking to players in the locker room this week, you
- 18:19Speaker 1: just can't simulate that. But getting back into live action,
- 18:22Speaker 1: I think he'll be more precise. He won't do it
- 18:26Speaker 1: all by himself. In other words, just him being on
- 18:28Speaker 1: the field Sunday, because this is a Titans defense that's
- 18:31Speaker 1: up front pretty darn good. The addition of Jeffrey Simmons
- 18:35Speaker 1: with Harold Landry in that three force game can Wake
- 18:37Speaker 1: starting to look like a thirty eight year old pass rusher.
- 18:39Speaker 1: He started to slow down. He was very hot early
- 18:41Speaker 1: in the season. He's not quite the same, um, but
- 18:44Speaker 1: they've got good players up front. Darrell Casey gets back
- 18:46Speaker 1: into the lineup and he's been out of it for
- 18:48Speaker 1: a while, so their front is very good. But he
- 18:51Speaker 1: will put the Jaguars in positions to be able to
- 18:55Speaker 1: score um and he might do the thing that the Jaguars.
- 19:00Speaker 1: He might leave the Jaguars to their first win in
- 19:02Speaker 1: Nashville since two thousand and thirteen. It's been a long
- 19:05Speaker 1: time since they They played pretty well up there and
- 19:08Speaker 1: lost that high scoring game, but they haven't won there since,
- 19:12Speaker 1: and he might be the quarterback to get it done
- 19:14Speaker 1: this week. They have not won there since. Game Yeah,
- 19:21Speaker 1: with the two point returns for touchdowns in the second half.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Was Mike Malarkey's last year. That was I ain't. The
- 19:26Speaker 1: Titans scored on like four straight plays. It was one
- 19:29Speaker 1: of the most phenomenal things I ever saying. I mean,
- 19:31Speaker 1: it was not good. It was. It was It was
- 19:34Speaker 1: impossible to it, but they did it. But they did it.
- 19:37Speaker 1: And that was a close game between two bad teams.
- 19:40Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, the Jaguars looked like
- 19:41Speaker 1: the worst team in the league and they were two
- 19:43Speaker 1: and fourteen, So they were close memories, nice ones. Not really.
- 19:48Speaker 1: He will, He won't. He might is d J. Chark Jr.
- 19:52Speaker 1: He will develop. He already has developed so much the
- 19:55Speaker 1: season we've seen the improvements week to week, but last
- 19:58Speaker 1: week I saw even more improvement. It's a little thing
- 20:00Speaker 1: like this. Remember last year in Dallas when d D.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Westbrook the game was far from over. D D. Westbrook
- 20:06Speaker 1: scores a touchdown, He celebrates it, gets a ton of
- 20:09Speaker 1: criticism for it, but I see both sides of because
- 20:11Speaker 1: it is tough to score in this league, and there
- 20:13Speaker 1: was that huge argument of whether you should celebrate or
- 20:15Speaker 1: not after a touchdown when you're not in the game.
- 20:18Speaker 1: The second touchdown of the game, d J. Chark, everyone
- 20:22Speaker 1: comes over to celebrate with him. He just plays the
- 20:24Speaker 1: ball with the ref and walks off the field. Major
- 20:27Speaker 1: improvement and I see both sides of that. But I
- 20:30Speaker 1: don't know if d J. Chark would have done that
- 20:32Speaker 1: last year. And those are the strides we see him
- 20:34Speaker 1: making this year. He told us yesterday in the locker room.
- 20:36Speaker 1: The difference in prep this year is that he gets
- 20:39Speaker 1: his eight hours asleep, and last year he played a
- 20:42Speaker 1: lot of video games and didn't get as much sleep.
- 20:45Speaker 1: He's a remarkably good player for his second year in
- 20:50Speaker 1: the league. Um because he didn't play very much last year.
- 20:55Speaker 1: I expect him to actually take his year to jump
- 20:57Speaker 1: next year. Which would make him phenomenal. Um, what's striking
- 21:05Speaker 1: is the other day I think it was Yushlyn when
- 21:08Speaker 1: all four of the receivers you hadn't coming off the
- 21:12Speaker 1: field in a little dancing video where you were dancing
- 21:14Speaker 1: with him. How much bigger he is than the other
- 21:18Speaker 1: receiver and how much stronger he looks the other receivers.
- 21:22Speaker 1: He's what twenty three, He hasn't even begun to add
- 21:29Speaker 1: the bulk up top that he will over time. Uh.
- 21:32Speaker 1: If he's already this physical now, in two or three years,
- 21:37Speaker 1: he has a chance to be one of the best
- 21:38Speaker 1: three or four receivers in the league in terms of
- 21:40Speaker 1: he's not gonna lose speed during that time. I think
- 21:43Speaker 1: when he peeks out for the three or four years
- 21:45Speaker 1: where he's in his peak, which he's not there yet. Um,
- 21:48Speaker 1: he has a chance. I'm not gonna put up there
- 21:50Speaker 1: with Jimmy because Jimmy's one of the best all time
- 21:52Speaker 1: receivers in the NFL. But he has I think he's
- 21:55Speaker 1: on his way to being clearly the second best receiver
- 21:57Speaker 1: this team has ever had. And I don't think that
- 21:59Speaker 1: anything from Keening. He's going to push that conversation if
- 22:04Speaker 1: he contains he belongs in the conversation, is what you're saying. Uh,
- 22:07Speaker 1: the first time he walked in the door, you looked
- 22:10Speaker 1: at him and said, that's what a modern NFL receiver
- 22:13Speaker 1: looks like. Almost six four um long body. But he's
- 22:17Speaker 1: still sort of a skinny kid, right, Well, yeah, but
- 22:19Speaker 1: he's he's not. He looks like a skinny kid, but
- 22:22Speaker 1: he's really not. But he's he's long with long arms
- 22:25Speaker 1: and really really big hands to go with, what did
- 22:28Speaker 1: you run? Four? Three four? Right? So you have the height,
- 22:31Speaker 1: the length and the speed. All he had to do
- 22:34Speaker 1: was figure out how to play the game right because
- 22:36Speaker 1: L S sho he really only did one thing, run deep.
- 22:39Speaker 1: They do different things with him here, But the minute
- 22:40Speaker 1: he walked in the door, he passed that eye test
- 22:42Speaker 1: where he went, right, that's a receiver. There's two things significant,
- 22:45Speaker 1: And both of you guys have talked about this too.
- 22:49Speaker 1: His work ethic. You know, Doug doesn't talk about everybody's
- 22:54Speaker 1: work ethic on this team the way he does about DJs. Uh,
- 22:58Speaker 1: that's impressive for a second year guy to know how
- 23:01Speaker 1: to work like he does. And the thing Loguman said
- 23:05Speaker 1: all last year with how good he was on special
- 23:07Speaker 1: teams from the start and how much he cared about it. Um.
- 23:11Speaker 1: Not every player has the attitude and the approach to
- 23:14Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, it's uh when you package that with
- 23:18Speaker 1: the physical ability and what we've seen so far. Um,
- 23:22Speaker 1: unless you know, knock on woods, some sort of injury
- 23:25Speaker 1: knocks him off course, he he's headed that way. Was
- 23:28Speaker 1: one more might he might be the air apparent to
- 23:31Speaker 1: Calais Campbell in terms of the way that he deals
- 23:34Speaker 1: with the media, and he's starting to get it, and
- 23:37Speaker 1: it's the way that he deals with fans. Right. If
- 23:40Speaker 1: you haven't seen it, there's a story you can google it,
- 23:43Speaker 1: YouTube it of him learning to swim and then him
- 23:45Speaker 1: going back the next year and teaching other people how
- 23:48Speaker 1: to swim. He gets it. He is a great human being,
- 23:52Speaker 1: great young man. So lots and lots of upside for him.
- 23:56Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, we pick one and
- 23:57Speaker 1: pick it from this NFL weekend coming on Jide strike time.

- 26:40Speaker 1: Time now for pick one and picket going around the league. John,
- 26:45Speaker 1: you have Dallas at New England and Marquee game. Yeah,
- 26:48Speaker 1: and uh, it's an interesting game because the Patriots are
- 26:55Speaker 1: the most overlooked. Yeah, one loss a defending champion that
- 27:02Speaker 1: I can never remember, and I'm probably forget. I mean,
- 27:04Speaker 1: now there's been years where that's happened. Um, not that
- 27:07Speaker 1: I can remember. But you know, is there any doubt
- 27:11Speaker 1: in your mind that if they play Baltimore in the playoffs,
- 27:15Speaker 1: they're gonna figure out a way to stop MARW Jackson
- 27:17Speaker 1: and Veglem and you know, and that's and they'll say
- 27:19Speaker 1: a few sentences not and move on. Well, yeah, they'll
- 27:22Speaker 1: say a few sentences, but they'll you know, they'll wink
- 27:25Speaker 1: at you why they're doing it. They're not as humble
- 27:26Speaker 1: as you think. Um, this is a big game for
- 27:31Speaker 1: Dallas because they are on the They're probably gonna make
- 27:35Speaker 1: the playoffs because they're in a bad division, but they're
- 27:37Speaker 1: teetering right now. They were a preseason favored. They won
- 27:40Speaker 1: their first three games and now they're went three and
- 27:41Speaker 1: four in their last seven. So if they lose this one,
- 27:44Speaker 1: you know, three of five, you know, they are not
- 27:48Speaker 1: playing very well. But this is a chance to go
- 27:50Speaker 1: prove that they belong. I don't think they will think
- 27:53Speaker 1: it's a game New England wins. At some point in
- 27:55Speaker 1: the last six games, New England's gonna start flexing their
- 27:58Speaker 1: muscles and owing that they belonged. They probably when I
- 28:01Speaker 1: finished in fourteen and two and everybody to overlook them
- 28:04Speaker 1: and then uh that went all again. I didn't Yeah,
- 28:09Speaker 1: I didn't miss on board of it. I didn't miss
- 28:12Speaker 1: the fact that Tom Brady was complaining about their offense
- 28:14Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, nine in one, are you kidding? Um?
- 28:18Speaker 1: I took the Panthers at the Saints. Panthers that were
- 28:21Speaker 1: a hot team even with their backup quarterback, and Christian
- 28:24Speaker 1: McCaffrey is en route to setting every rushing record from
- 28:29Speaker 1: scrimmage right now with six games left to play. However,
- 28:32Speaker 1: they've dropped a couple of games in a row. They
- 28:34Speaker 1: fall into five and five. They're not hot like they
- 28:37Speaker 1: once were. Their quarterback is struggling. He's throw nine interceptions
- 28:40Speaker 1: in the last four games, and people are thinking, well,
- 28:42Speaker 1: maybe Cam Newton isn't so bad after all. Here's the rub.
- 28:45Speaker 1: They've got to go into New Orleans. Who right of
- 28:48Speaker 1: the ship. Last week after that horrible loss to the
- 28:50Speaker 1: to the to the Falcons went and beat the Bucks,
- 28:53Speaker 1: and now they come home. You don't see the Saints
- 28:57Speaker 1: play poorly at home in back to back game that
- 29:02Speaker 1: that team. When we saw them here, I thought their
- 29:05Speaker 1: roster might be the best in the I mean there
- 29:08Speaker 1: you might have any individual player you know, on another
- 29:11Speaker 1: roster that's better, but their roster from one to three,
- 29:15Speaker 1: I think it's it's tough to argue that there's another
- 29:17Speaker 1: roster better. Dari was personnelity people thought coming in. It's
- 29:21Speaker 1: that even without Breeze, that was the best team they
- 29:24Speaker 1: had played at that point. And I think that defense
- 29:27Speaker 1: is capable of taking away Christian McCaffrey and and that's
- 29:31Speaker 1: what they're going to do to make Kyle Allen, who
- 29:33Speaker 1: is no longer the sensation that he was at one point,
- 29:37Speaker 1: beat him. And lately he hasn't been able to do that.
- 29:39Speaker 1: So I think this is a route for the Saints,
- 29:41Speaker 1: and people all of a sudden start saying, well, I
- 29:43Speaker 1: guess the Panthers aren't that good. You know, early on
- 29:45Speaker 1: we thought maybe their defense they got off to a
- 29:47Speaker 1: hot start and they faded. Um, we'll see if Christian
- 29:51Speaker 1: McCaffrey m VP train is still on the tracks after
- 29:55Speaker 1: this week. But if the Panthers win, it's going to
- 29:58Speaker 1: be because of him, and it is going to the
- 30:01Speaker 1: top of the mountain. There's nothing that can stop it.
- 30:03Speaker 1: But if they lose, it's because he doesn't do anything
- 30:06Speaker 1: and it's off the trip. I think win or lose,
- 30:08Speaker 1: the Panthers are done. And I'm not saying as an
- 30:11Speaker 1: award the Panthers. I think the Rams might be done too.
- 30:14Speaker 1: If you look at the at the NFC, eight and
- 30:16Speaker 1: two is a wild card right now. The Rams are
- 30:18Speaker 1: six and four and they feel out of it. Uh now,
- 30:21Speaker 1: they still have a chance to fight and scrap their
- 30:23Speaker 1: way back into it. But five and five in that
- 30:25Speaker 1: conference right now, it's gonna take a miracle for the
- 30:27Speaker 1: Panthers to get back into it. It doesn't look like
- 30:29Speaker 1: the way Kyle Allen's played like they have a miracle
- 30:31Speaker 1: in them. I gotta win on Sunday team and be
- 30:33Speaker 1: in the conversation. Though that leaves perfectly into my pick
- 30:36Speaker 1: one and pickets. Thanks John Baltimore. At Los Angeles Ravens
- 30:42Speaker 1: eight and two Rams six and four. Rams attempting to
- 30:46Speaker 1: stay in the playoff race, but cannot survive many more
- 30:49Speaker 1: losses in order to do so. You just mentioned eight
- 30:51Speaker 1: and two is a wild card spot there six and
- 30:53Speaker 1: four trying to stop Lamar Jackson said, Patriots probably could
- 30:57Speaker 1: do it. Can the Rams? I don't know if anyone
- 30:59Speaker 1: can at this point. Well, it's a fascinating game for
- 31:01Speaker 1: the jet and I mean to get away from the
- 31:02Speaker 1: analysis the game. It's a fascinating game for the jag
- 31:05Speaker 1: Wars because right now the uh the Ravens seemed like
- 31:08Speaker 1: huge favorites. If that drops the Rams, the six and
- 31:10Speaker 1: five and the wild card there is it? What at
- 31:15Speaker 1: that point then you're three games out with five to play,
- 31:18Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you wonder how much incentive the
- 31:21Speaker 1: Rams have left, how much they could slip. I'm saying
- 31:25Speaker 1: they're a bad team. But when you're out the playoffs
- 31:26Speaker 1: in those five games, all of a sudden, the must
- 31:29Speaker 1: win field goes away. All of a sudden, that pick
- 31:31Speaker 1: starts coming back down, and the Jalen Rams and trade
- 31:33Speaker 1: looks better and bad. Look, we're all rooting against the
- 31:35Speaker 1: Rams every week. It's right, those picks are so vital.
- 31:40Speaker 1: I say this. Girly sort of had a research and
- 31:42Speaker 1: game talk Girly did last week, right, which is which
- 31:45Speaker 1: is important for them it is, however, that Ravens defense
- 31:48Speaker 1: is very good, and if they fall to a point
- 31:50Speaker 1: where must win seems to fade away, well then he
- 31:55Speaker 1: seems like a guy that goes on the shelf, not
- 31:57Speaker 1: by his choice, but the team, by the team, the
- 31:59Speaker 1: team saying look week and when he's not running the
- 32:02Speaker 1: way that he ran last year, that is an entirely
- 32:06Speaker 1: vulnerable time. And the reason why I say that is
- 32:08Speaker 1: the way their salary cap is. Right now, You've got
- 32:10Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks who has fifty billion dollars in dead money
- 32:13Speaker 1: and a concussion issue, right, I mean, his career could
- 32:16Speaker 1: be done with the right hit. And you have Girly
- 32:20Speaker 1: who has about forty million dollars still against their cap,
- 32:23Speaker 1: whose knees don't look like they're going to allow him
- 32:26Speaker 1: to be the same player. You've got a couple of
- 32:28Speaker 1: guys you need to protect because they don't have the
- 32:30Speaker 1: draft picks in they need these players on the field
- 32:33Speaker 1: because the cap and because the roster. You're thinking they
- 32:36Speaker 1: might not win a game next year, and this team
- 32:38Speaker 1: has a number one overall pick. No, I'm not thinking
- 32:40Speaker 1: that at all. Well, if you if you think that's
- 32:44Speaker 1: what I'm insening Wating you're not seeing anything. What I'm
- 32:46Speaker 1: what I'm insinuating is is that they're not very good.
- 32:49Speaker 1: If those two players aren't on the field, despite how
- 32:52Speaker 1: good their defense is and their salary cap is. It's
- 32:59Speaker 1: it reminds me of the jag Wars in two thousand
- 33:01Speaker 1: and two. It looks so horrendous if they went out.
- 33:04Speaker 1: They were in a tough situation when they came to
- 33:07Speaker 1: Los Angeles. They needed to make a splash. They knew
- 33:10Speaker 1: that the city of l A was not going to
- 33:12Speaker 1: embrace the team that wasn't winning, so they went after it.
- 33:15Speaker 1: Um can they dig their way out of all that?
- 33:18Speaker 1: I don't know. They're in a tight spot. Remember the
- 33:20Speaker 1: article I told you read? Did you really get There's
- 33:24Speaker 1: an article in yesterday on ESPN's front page about pro
- 33:29Speaker 1: football in l A. And there are grave concerns right
- 33:33Speaker 1: now based on ticket sales, single seat licenses, and looking
- 33:37Speaker 1: at the football future, the immediate football future of both
- 33:41Speaker 1: the Chargers who appear maybe that Rivers is not going
- 33:43Speaker 1: to play all that much longer, and the Rams who
- 33:47Speaker 1: have cooks and girly star performers that look like they
- 33:50Speaker 1: play all that much longer. People are worried out there.
- 33:53Speaker 1: But there was a reason that the Rams and the

- 37:07Speaker 1: But guy, you're going to vote for Yeah, dummy, Josh
- 37:10Speaker 1: Allen's got eight sacks with six games left to play.
- 37:12Speaker 1: It's worth mentioning that if he gets on a run,
- 37:17Speaker 1: eight and six is fourteen, you know, and you could

- 37:34Speaker 1: this game coming up on Sunday, Jags versus Titans. We've
- 37:37Speaker 1: talked about it all week long. Stopping the run. Run
- 37:41Speaker 1: defense has to get better. Gotta give Leonard from at
- 37:43Speaker 1: the ball more, get that run offense going. Can they
- 37:46Speaker 1: get it done in Nashville if they get those two
- 37:48Speaker 1: things done. Yeah, And this is a game of sixty
- 37:51Speaker 1: minute one to meaning there are some teams that if
- 37:53Speaker 1: you stopped their running game in the first two series,
- 37:56Speaker 1: they're gonna stop trying. They're gonna throw. Not them. The
- 37:59Speaker 1: Titans aren't that team. They're gonna keep running, keep running.
- 38:03Speaker 1: They're gonna keep trying to get Derrick Henry out on
- 38:05Speaker 1: your smaller corner. Already smaller people. Um, so it's got
- 38:09Speaker 1: to be a case where the offense sort of keeps
- 38:12Speaker 1: seeing the game and the Titans to get up by ten,
- 38:15Speaker 1: they get up early stuff. Yeah, but it it is
- 38:22Speaker 1: a game that with six to go. Um, if you
- 38:27Speaker 1: wanted bad enough, go up there and win it and
- 38:31Speaker 1: shut us all up. Yeah, these two teams have played.
- 38:36Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, this will be the fiftieth comic
- 38:39Speaker 1: that these two franchises have played the second game in
- 38:41Speaker 1: twenty five years. Um, they have always been there's a
- 38:46Speaker 1: turnover has always had a significant impact in these games.
- 38:51Speaker 1: And last year, I'm sorry, in Week three of this year,
- 38:55Speaker 1: the muff punt totally turned the game over because it
- 38:58Speaker 1: gave you Jack with a chance to go up seven nothing,
- 39:00Speaker 1: and then they just poured it on the rest of
- 39:02Speaker 1: the first half. So you say, run the ball, stop
- 39:05Speaker 1: the run. Totally agree you Also, yeah, you gotta get
- 39:07Speaker 1: a break, you gotta create one. Last last week in Indianapolis,
- 39:10Speaker 1: when Unique and Gockway had his strip sack, the ball
- 39:13Speaker 1: bounced and if Taven Bryant just falls on it, the
- 39:16Speaker 1: Jaguars have a chance to tie the game up. Um
- 39:19Speaker 1: in at least tie the game up, maybe take the
- 39:22Speaker 1: lead going in a halftime. But he decided he was
- 39:24Speaker 1: going to be in Gockway or Telvin Smith and scooping score.
- 39:27Speaker 1: He should just fallen on the ball. I'm gonna hammer
- 39:30Speaker 1: anybody he should have been hammered for that um and
- 39:32Speaker 1: we kind of let it go all week long. Just
- 39:35Speaker 1: get the ball. It doesn't matter. Just get the ball. Yeah,
- 39:42Speaker 1: you look upset about that. I doesn't like me hammering Taven.
- 39:47Speaker 1: I forgot about that play. It was a huge Sorry
- 39:50Speaker 1: I didn't do it before. It was a huge play
- 39:52Speaker 1: in the game. And and now I'm not very happy anymore.
- 39:54Speaker 1: Could I've been happy all week? But I have been
- 39:58Speaker 1: in a great mood, and now you're in it. People
- 40:00Speaker 1: forgot that play, but one turnover. You might have had
- 40:03Speaker 1: an entirely different game if you take the lead into
- 40:06Speaker 1: halftime as opposed to what happened. So fall on the ball.
- 40:10Speaker 1: Make sure no matter what you get the ball, it
- 40:11Speaker 1: is true. Write this down fall on the ball. Stay
