- 0:03Speaker 1: Welcome to Jacks Drive Time with Ashlyn Sullivans, John Oshans
- 0:08Speaker 1: and Brian Sexton. Jangs Drive Time. When he starts right now,
- 0:17Speaker 1: Welcome in. It's Shaggs Drive Time on a Wednesday morning.
- 0:21Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick in for Ashland Sullivan, Brian Sexton, senior
- 0:24Speaker 1: correspondent along with US Today and John Osan Jaguars dot
- 0:28Speaker 1: Com senior writer. Good morning, gentlemen. Brian, just trying to
- 0:32Speaker 1: move forward and get onto Tennessee at some point. Yeah,
- 0:37Speaker 1: I heard show last night with the coach. Um. I
- 0:40Speaker 1: thought it's a good show, and well, you're gonna get
- 0:44Speaker 1: into big things. We're gonna talk about focus, you know.
- 0:46Speaker 1: And we didn't talk about this on Monday morning, JP.
- 0:50Speaker 1: We we waited till after the coach spoke, and obviously
- 0:52Speaker 1: a lot has been said and written about it since then. UM,
- 0:56Speaker 1: I think I just had this. Protect the team is
- 0:59Speaker 1: more than just the coach or the players. It's it's
- 1:01Speaker 1: everyone in the front office. Um, because you're not just
- 1:05Speaker 1: protecting the team, you're protecting the market. I mean the Jaguars.
- 1:08Speaker 1: We have always, since day one, had to with a
- 1:12Speaker 1: very little margin for error. We've always had to be
- 1:14Speaker 1: our best and we haven't always been obviously, UM. But
- 1:17Speaker 1: when it comes to things like this, we can't shoot
- 1:20Speaker 1: ourselves in the foot. Everyone looks at this marketplace and
- 1:23Speaker 1: they don't think it's a great market. They look at
- 1:25Speaker 1: the football team and they go, I was not a
- 1:26Speaker 1: very good team, and people want to point their fingers
- 1:28Speaker 1: at us. And so we have to as a collective,
- 1:32Speaker 1: both the coaches and players on the football side, the
- 1:36Speaker 1: business side, and the fans, um and supporters in this
- 1:39Speaker 1: area UM, for Duvall to be its best, we all
- 1:42Speaker 1: have to protect the team. Well, John, good morning, Yeah,
- 1:47Speaker 1: good morning. I mean, you know, you know I would
- 1:50Speaker 1: have to say on it, and it was my first
- 1:52Speaker 1: answer in the ozone this morning. Shot Khan and the
- 1:55Speaker 1: statement talked about regaining trust. Urban Meyer talked about regain trust.
- 2:01Speaker 1: There are the reports out there yesterday about the locker
- 2:03Speaker 1: room and all that, you know, and I don't necessarily
- 2:07Speaker 1: not believe the reports. This is an earth shaker in
- 2:11Speaker 1: terms of relationship with coaching players, and I don't think
- 2:14Speaker 1: anybody would really deny that. I don't think gerbon Meyer
- 2:16Speaker 1: would deny that. So, as I wrote this morning the Ozone,
- 2:19Speaker 1: it feels like that process starts now this is where
- 2:22Speaker 1: we move forward. You know, not to bury it, but
- 2:25Speaker 1: what's done is done. Can't control what happened. Now, We've
- 2:29Speaker 1: got to figure out what's going on. And I do
- 2:31Speaker 1: think the rebuilding of trust it's a major issue. We'll
- 2:34Speaker 1: see how it goes. I want to share one thing.
- 2:39Speaker 1: It's my favorite quote and it's from Abraham Lincoln, and
- 2:42Speaker 1: he said, the best thing about the future is it
- 2:44Speaker 1: comes one day at a time. And that's my message
- 2:47Speaker 1: to the coach and to the players today. Their focuses
- 2:51Speaker 1: is right here in front of them. They can't worry
- 2:53Speaker 1: about what's done or what they see here or read.
- 2:56Speaker 1: They can't worry about the coach. They have to worry
- 2:59Speaker 1: about themselves. And so one day at a time is
- 3:02Speaker 1: the only way they can go forward and get ready
- 3:04Speaker 1: for the Titans on Sunday and give themselves a chance
- 3:07Speaker 1: to compete and win. Brian's right. I was at that
- 3:12Speaker 1: pressor it's been a little while ago, but John has
- 3:18Speaker 1: been at it for a long time. Let's get two
- 3:20Speaker 1: big things today and start off with the focus. The
- 3:23Speaker 1: players can only control what happens on the field, of course,
- 3:27Speaker 1: and what happens on the field, this Sunday is the
- 3:29Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans come to town. We did hear from head
- 3:32Speaker 1: coach Urban Meyer yesterday on the Urban Meyer Show on
- 3:34Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network and all this noise around the
- 3:37Speaker 1: organization the last couple of days. Urban Meyer responded to
- 3:41Speaker 1: the shod con statement that was released yesterday and how
- 3:45Speaker 1: difficult the meetings have been the last three days now,
- 3:48Speaker 1: conversations have been horrible. It's uh. I owned the mistake
- 3:52Speaker 1: that I made. It was a I've always looked at
- 3:55Speaker 1: the job of a coach for a thirty plus years
- 3:59Speaker 1: that I've done this is too You know everything you
- 4:03Speaker 1: can possibly do to make your players comfortable play the game,
- 4:06Speaker 1: that sports performance. I give everybody the best possible situation.
- 4:11Speaker 1: You put him in a good scheme, he put a
- 4:13Speaker 1: good group of assistant coaches around him in a safe environment,
- 4:16Speaker 1: and then get out of the way. And I didn't
- 4:18Speaker 1: do that. I became a distraction, made a stupid decision,
- 4:23Speaker 1: and I apologize to it. I certainly understand our owner
- 4:27Speaker 1: Mr Cohn, has been fantastic since the day I met him,
- 4:30Speaker 1: and I apologized him as well. And and UH have
- 4:33Speaker 1: to move forward and regained the trust. The full audio
- 4:37Speaker 1: from yesterday's show, available in the Official Jaguars Podcast Network.
- 4:42Speaker 1: And next, something has to give. Well, Derrick Henry is
- 4:46Speaker 1: on the other side this week. You gotta slow him down.
- 4:49Speaker 1: We know what he's done against this team in the past.
- 4:51Speaker 1: He's had maybe not a great day and then the
- 4:54Speaker 1: second out and usually it's a huge day against the
- 4:56Speaker 1: Jaguars defense. At least the last three years, that has
- 4:59Speaker 1: been the tra end. You've got to slow him down
- 5:02Speaker 1: and get to him early. And then finally today our
- 5:05Speaker 1: third and final big thing, Trevor Lawrence. It's all about
- 5:07Speaker 1: the quarterback. I think this is evergreen. We could use
- 5:10Speaker 1: this every single drive time big thing if you wanted to.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is the key. There is some improvement as
- 5:18Speaker 1: the weeks go along. It's all about him moving ahead
- 5:21Speaker 1: and you know, cashing in some opportunities later in the
- 5:24Speaker 1: game and and maybe himself willing a team to the
- 5:29Speaker 1: winner circle. Alright, guys, we're coming back to it now
- 5:32Speaker 1: that that's a big thing here, because you know, let's
- 5:35Speaker 1: start with a quarterback. That's the number one thing. He's
- 5:36Speaker 1: playing better. There was a big drive in that game
- 5:39Speaker 1: when the when the Bengals are tied the game fourteen fourteen.
- 5:43Speaker 1: He leads a scoring drive down the field. He's throwing
- 5:45Speaker 1: the ball over the place, has the long pass to
- 5:47Speaker 1: agg knew they did get a defensive holding call down
- 5:50Speaker 1: close to the goal line to set up the touchdown
- 5:52Speaker 1: rund the next play, but that was a big time
- 5:55Speaker 1: drive for the quarterback to you know, answer the bell
- 5:57Speaker 1: a little bit there, guys, Yeah, no question. I thought
- 6:03Speaker 1: out of everything had happened in that game, the first
- 6:06Speaker 1: half was fine. I mean, getting up fourteen nothing. They
- 6:09Speaker 1: had done that before. I had seen that before, and
- 6:12Speaker 1: that felt, Okay, this is what we game plan for.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Before the game. We ran our script. Everything was comfortable,
- 6:20Speaker 1: everything was confident. You can do that. Uh, guys. I
- 6:24Speaker 1: think it's been a long time since I've seen a
- 6:26Speaker 1: drive like the one JP just reference, where the chips
- 6:30Speaker 1: were sort of down, there was pressure on all of
- 6:32Speaker 1: a sudden momentum was getting away, and all of a sudden,
- 6:36Speaker 1: the Jaguars went down and scored. Trevor. I think the
- 6:39Speaker 1: one that stands out is that I think it was
- 6:42Speaker 1: passed to agnew big time play in a big time moment.
- 6:46Speaker 1: I I'm sure I'm forgetting them, but I haven't seen
- 6:51Speaker 1: that in a long time to do that at that moment.
- 6:54Speaker 1: They didn't do it the next drive, but to me,
- 6:56Speaker 1: that was the first step. That was the I've seen
- 7:00Speaker 1: this quarterback, this offense, this franchise since this regime took over,
- 7:05Speaker 1: and JP and Johnny. Look, this is what we expect
- 7:08Speaker 1: because we know what Trevor Lawrence means to this franchise.
- 7:13Speaker 1: I mean, if folks feel bad this week about the coach,
- 7:17Speaker 1: turn the coach off at this point and focus on
- 7:19Speaker 1: the quarterback, because as long as the quarterback is progressing,
- 7:23Speaker 1: everything's fine. This kid is the foundation, the bedrock of
- 7:27Speaker 1: this franchise, and we saw that last week to throw
- 7:30Speaker 1: at the end of the half to set up the
- 7:33Speaker 1: first two goals situation. I mean, it's this kid is
- 7:35Speaker 1: tremendous and as long as he keeps making progress forward.
- 7:39Speaker 1: I'm not sure a lot of people who are watching
- 7:41Speaker 1: this would agree with this statement, but I'm not worried
- 7:43Speaker 1: about the one loss record this season. I kind of
- 7:45Speaker 1: had an expectation that it was going to be more
- 7:47Speaker 1: losses than wins, because that's what happens with rookie quarterbacks.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Peyton Manning got three wins and through twenty eight intersections.
- 7:54Speaker 1: But as long as you can say after the game
- 7:57Speaker 1: he was better, then things are just fine. We've got
- 8:01Speaker 1: plenty ahead on Derrick Henry and how to maybe slow
- 8:04Speaker 1: him down when we come back, We'll get into this
- 8:07Speaker 1: or that and try to slow down the Jaguars or
- 8:10Speaker 1: the Titans running game with Derrick Henry in the backfield
- 8:14Speaker 1: with his dreadlock bouncing around and draw strings flapping as
- 8:17Speaker 1: he runs, Let's try not to get him going. We'll
- 8:19Speaker 1: try to figure that out when we come back. It's
- 8:21Speaker 1: this or that, and we're often running. It's Jags Drive

- 8:58Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick in for from some of it on
- 9:00Speaker 1: this Wednesday, Ryan Sexton and John Osier And it's time
- 9:04Speaker 1: now for this or that, presented by Price dot com Brian,
- 9:09Speaker 1: you're gonna get us started with the league's leading rusher. Yeah,
- 9:13Speaker 1: the guy who's been the league leading rusher since this
- 9:15Speaker 1: heart of the nineteen season. You mentioned earlier that in
- 9:18Speaker 1: the first game the Jaguars have done a better job
- 9:20Speaker 1: against into the second, So let me give you the numbers.
- 9:23Speaker 1: In the first game of the two game series, going
- 9:26Speaker 1: back to team which was Henry's second year, he has
- 9:30Speaker 1: gotten only an average of seventy yards per game and
- 9:32Speaker 1: just three point seven per carry and scored two touchdowns.
- 9:36Speaker 1: So in the first game of the two matchups, the
- 9:38Speaker 1: Jaguars have got a good job historically against Derrick Kenry.
- 9:41Speaker 1: It's the second where things get away, and he averages
- 9:44Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty seven yards and seven point three
- 9:47Speaker 1: seven yards per carry and has scored eight touchdowns. So
- 9:51Speaker 1: the Jaguars historically speaking, have a good chance on Sunday
- 9:55Speaker 1: because their defense is playing better. Their fifth in the
- 9:58Speaker 1: league right now in yard is per a tempt allowed
- 10:01Speaker 1: at three point five yards per tempt. So something's gotta
- 10:04Speaker 1: give here. Either the Jaguars are ready to step up
- 10:06Speaker 1: or Derrick Henry shows everyone why he's the best running
- 10:09Speaker 1: back in football. So my question to you, guys, is this,
- 10:13Speaker 1: do you sell out to stop him, knowing that if
- 10:15Speaker 1: he has a big day, you have no chance to win.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Or do you trust your defense in the way that
- 10:19Speaker 1: he's played in recent weeks and just play it straight
- 10:22Speaker 1: and and trust those guys up front to get the
- 10:25Speaker 1: job done. Yeah. I think it's a tough week to
- 10:30Speaker 1: be toe callin on that front because regardless of what
- 10:34Speaker 1: the history says, the other part of the Derrick Henry's
- 10:37Speaker 1: story or trend to whatever, he's playing better in September
- 10:41Speaker 1: this year than he ever has. So I don't know
- 10:45Speaker 1: that you can assume he's always been a guy from
- 10:47Speaker 1: a distance. At least it looks like he gets going
- 10:49Speaker 1: as the season goes on. Uh. This year, it seems
- 10:52Speaker 1: like he's getting going fast, So I wouldn't necessarily assume
- 10:55Speaker 1: he's only going to get seventy. If you sort of
- 10:58Speaker 1: ignore him, you still got to put a hat on him. Uh.
- 11:01Speaker 1: I think you sell out a little more though, because
- 11:04Speaker 1: the wide receivers for the Titans, Julio Jones and A. J. Brown,
- 11:08Speaker 1: missed last week. It's hard to tell if they're going
- 11:11Speaker 1: to play because to deal with hamstrings, so it's hard
- 11:13Speaker 1: to note probably be game time, but they're probably could
- 11:15Speaker 1: be a percent, So maybe you sell out a little
- 11:19Speaker 1: more than usual, but JP you sell out a lot anyway. Yeah,
- 11:24Speaker 1: you have to. If not, he's gonna get outside and
- 11:27Speaker 1: start stiff arming little guys all over the field, up
- 11:30Speaker 1: in the air and out of bounds and you know
- 11:32Speaker 1: have highlight real type runs down the sideline. We've seen
- 11:35Speaker 1: that firsthand before, So yeah, bring an extra guy, why
- 11:39Speaker 1: not for good measure. You have to at least slow
- 11:41Speaker 1: that down or it could be a long day at
- 11:43Speaker 1: the office. I'll go next today and this or that
- 11:46Speaker 1: is presented by Price dot Com. It's either keep running
- 11:49Speaker 1: the ball or air it out with newer receivers. For
- 11:53Speaker 1: the Jaguars, they're running the ball pretty well when they
- 11:56Speaker 1: run the football. Jane Robinson Carlos Hyde was not available
- 11:59Speaker 1: in last week's game. Trevor Lawrence was involved a little
- 12:02Speaker 1: bit more as the weeks have gone on. He's jumped
- 12:05Speaker 1: into that running game and the read option the keepers.
- 12:07Speaker 1: I don't think you want to make a real habit
- 12:09Speaker 1: of that, but it is a good little wrinkle to
- 12:11Speaker 1: have to keep Trevor a little balanced, maybe in the
- 12:14Speaker 1: game or you know, with dj Chark down. Now you're
- 12:18Speaker 1: starting to see some new faces come into the offense,
- 12:22Speaker 1: a guy like agnew who made a nice catch, but
- 12:24Speaker 1: he's only been a receiver for like a week and
- 12:26Speaker 1: a half basically. I mean he was a little bit
- 12:28Speaker 1: last year, but not long. Um. You know, for me,
- 12:32Speaker 1: I'm thinking, you still want to run the football. That's
- 12:35Speaker 1: what this team was going to do to begin, That's
- 12:37Speaker 1: who they should be, that's who they are, and then
- 12:40Speaker 1: air it out when you have your opportunities. Brian, what
- 12:42Speaker 1: do you think? I'm totally with you. Obviously we haven't
- 12:46Speaker 1: seen an injury report to know where Carlos Hide and
- 12:49Speaker 1: that shoulder that bothered him last week are. But if
- 12:52Speaker 1: he is going to play, then I would keep hammering
- 12:55Speaker 1: the ball. For the obvious reason. It's a play action.
- 12:58Speaker 1: We saw the Jets take deep shots with success on
- 13:01Speaker 1: Sunday against the Titans, and you want to give your chance, sorry,
- 13:05Speaker 1: you want to give your young quarterback every chance to
- 13:08Speaker 1: be able to make big plays down the field. Plus
- 13:10Speaker 1: I just a little cutback on the five yard touchdown
- 13:13Speaker 1: run by James Robinson showed such incredible vision. I mean
- 13:16Speaker 1: that that really is his great attribute that he sees
- 13:20Speaker 1: things opening up before they open up, I just give
- 13:24Speaker 1: him the ball and then hammer with Carlos hide good
- 13:27Speaker 1: block by lender to John by the way on that
- 13:29Speaker 1: play it was you know, I agree for the time being,
- 13:34Speaker 1: I think you have to be run centric, James Robinson centric.
- 13:37Speaker 1: You guys know me. I believe at some point you
- 13:39Speaker 1: have to have a high level passing game. You know,
- 13:42Speaker 1: I don't know the DJ Chark out with just Marvin
- 13:46Speaker 1: Jones and Jess Leviisca China as realistically, those are the
- 13:50Speaker 1: two guys now that have to be your go to
- 13:52Speaker 1: I know Jamal Agnew has a chance to be a
- 13:55Speaker 1: special weapon. I don't know that he's going to be
- 13:58Speaker 1: the guy who gets to the ninety yards a game,
- 14:00Speaker 1: and I don't know anybody else is going to do that.
- 14:02Speaker 1: So I don't know that they have the receiver corps
- 14:04Speaker 1: to go be quote high octane right now. So b
- 14:09Speaker 1: B high octane almost at hockey octane. Be high octane
- 14:12Speaker 1: on the ground with James Robinson and see if you
- 14:15Speaker 1: can't squeeze some things out there. Until the passing offense
- 14:18Speaker 1: is ready to be an NFL elite level passing offense.
- 14:22Speaker 1: That's where they are right now. That's a state of
- 14:23Speaker 1: affairs on offense for the Jaguars. John take us home
- 14:26Speaker 1: with this or that well and said that is either
- 14:35Speaker 1: I can't really see what I wrote here, but if
- 14:38Speaker 1: you rally for a huge victory which would be as
- 14:42Speaker 1: galvanizing as you can imagine for this fan base which
- 14:45Speaker 1: takes the Titans, or you succumb to the noise. And
- 14:50Speaker 1: you know that's what everybody outside our little Jaguars world
- 14:56Speaker 1: is going to think one way or the other. If
- 14:58Speaker 1: they win this game, it's gonna be Hey, they over
- 15:00Speaker 1: came the adversity. If they lose it, it's gonna behay,
- 15:02Speaker 1: the locker rooms separated. They're not playing for urban you know.
- 15:05Speaker 1: So uh. I don't know that that's going to be
- 15:08Speaker 1: the reality, the last part, but that's sure going to
- 15:10Speaker 1: be the perception every little you know Facebook group. You
- 15:13Speaker 1: see the chats about the Jags, JP and I know
- 15:16Speaker 1: you're on there, I know you're chatting with those people. Um,
- 15:19Speaker 1: you know every dialogue is going to be that. So
- 15:24Speaker 1: that's gonna be it. I think they play well, I
- 15:26Speaker 1: don't think they win. I think the Titans are are
- 15:28Speaker 1: a desperate first place team. It feels like he needs
- 15:31Speaker 1: to get a season back on track. I think they
- 15:33Speaker 1: played better, and I think by playing better you can
- 15:36Speaker 1: avoid a little bit of that ladder noise I'm talking
- 15:39Speaker 1: about Brian look having done this as long as I
- 15:43Speaker 1: have all logic and reasons, say take the Titans because
- 15:48Speaker 1: this is a huge distraction this week. It's absolutely massive. However,
- 15:53Speaker 1: the way the Dragon war has played last week against Cincinnati,
- 15:57Speaker 1: and Cincinnati has a much more explosive offense, and the
- 16:00Speaker 1: way that the quarterback played in particular, really it to me.
- 16:04Speaker 1: I was starting to lean towards taking the Jaguars here.
- 16:07Speaker 1: Then I watched how the Jets took their shots down
- 16:09Speaker 1: the field and I thought, you know, this might be
- 16:11Speaker 1: the moment where they steal one, where they get one
- 16:14Speaker 1: at home. They've been playing the run really well. You
- 16:18Speaker 1: can't remove the distraction. But I'm just gonna go for
- 16:20Speaker 1: broke and say, like I did on Monday Show, I
- 16:23Speaker 1: think the Jaguars find a way to win the ball game,
- 16:26Speaker 1: and the huge factor is going to be they can
- 16:28Speaker 1: focus on Derrick Henry because those two receivers aren't as
- 16:31Speaker 1: big a factor as they might be when they play
- 16:34Speaker 1: in December. It would be huge Obviously, it would snap
- 16:37Speaker 1: a nineteen game losing skid oing for to start the season,
- 16:40Speaker 1: and at that point it would put the Jaguars one
- 16:42Speaker 1: game out of first place in the a f C South.
- 16:45Speaker 1: We'll come back in a moment, and the ozone snapshot
- 16:49Speaker 1: is dead ahead. More John Osier. When we come back,

- 17:47Speaker 1: This is from Sean from Jacksonville. What's the story with Lambeau?
- 17:52Speaker 1: Is his self doubt fixed? John? Yeah, I wish I
- 17:56Speaker 1: had an answer, right. You know, I included this question
- 18:00Speaker 1: because I figure we haven't addressed this topic, and on
- 18:02Speaker 1: this shift he's going to compete for the job this
- 18:06Speaker 1: week with Matthew Right, I'm not sure what that means
- 18:09Speaker 1: in practice. I think at some point they will have
- 18:13Speaker 1: to put Lambeau back on the field to see if
- 18:16Speaker 1: he's through his issues. I'm not sure you find that
- 18:19Speaker 1: out in practice. I don't know whether kick this week,
- 18:23Speaker 1: h Brian. I've been around a lot of kickers in
- 18:26Speaker 1: twenty seven years. I haven't figured him out yet. So
- 18:28Speaker 1: how do you answer this one? What makes you think
- 18:31Speaker 1: I have either? Where on the street is he's still
- 18:35Speaker 1: working through it? Just from you know what I've heard,
- 18:39Speaker 1: I don't know. No one knows. I don't even know
- 18:41Speaker 1: if Josh knows until he goes and kicks the ball
- 18:44Speaker 1: and gets that that that infusion, that surge of confidence back.
- 18:49Speaker 1: I think if he goes out and kicks a field
- 18:51Speaker 1: goal and and gets that back, he'll be fine. He's
- 18:54Speaker 1: one of the better kickers I've ever been around. He's
- 18:57Speaker 1: got a big time leg, but no one knows. I
- 19:01Speaker 1: ask you the interesting part, how's the coach going to decide? Yeah,
- 19:05Speaker 1: I mean at some point, JP, you gotta put it
- 19:07Speaker 1: back on the field and state, yeah, that's the only
- 19:09Speaker 1: competition I can imagine. That's right, And then Matthew writes credit,
- 19:12Speaker 1: he made all three extra points. It wasn't even a
- 19:14Speaker 1: concern on Thursday night. They don't have to line up
- 19:17Speaker 1: for fuel goal. But um they they could have right
- 19:20Speaker 1: around the goal line, but they chose to go for
- 19:22Speaker 1: the end zone instead. Uh. Next question Daniel from Jersey City,
- 19:26Speaker 1: New Jersey, Oh, Man, did you fail to account for
- 19:28Speaker 1: Trevor's beautiful flowing hair and your quarterback choice? Well, this
- 19:35Speaker 1: was in reference to a question. There's some people saying, well,
- 19:37Speaker 1: look Gardner Minshew had a better statistical game in X
- 19:42Speaker 1: had a better game sometime and I it just sort
- 19:46Speaker 1: of baffles me JP, how you can watch Trevor Lawrence
- 19:49Speaker 1: and not think that he is on his way, that
- 19:53Speaker 1: he's going to be the next guy. But look, the
- 19:57Speaker 1: hair is absolutely stunning. Yeah, it's wonderful. You get distracted
- 20:01Speaker 1: in press conferences by it. He's the total package, flowing
- 20:05Speaker 1: locks included. But look, I don't ever think that because
- 20:08Speaker 1: of statistics. On a serious note, whatever his stats are
- 20:12Speaker 1: right now, he's comfortable in the pocket. He's confident he
- 20:17Speaker 1: is poisoned the pocket. He's doing quarterback things. Ask anybody
- 20:22Speaker 1: around the league's watching this kid who knows quarterbacks. They'll
- 20:24Speaker 1: tell you he's on he's he's on his way. Locks included. Oh,
- 20:30Speaker 1: I can't believe we saw Gardner Binshoe back on this show.
- 20:34Speaker 1: I'll say this, Gardner Minshee was a lot of sizzle.
- 20:36Speaker 1: I mean, the guy understood how to do that. But
- 20:39Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, he's both sizzle and steak. I have no
- 20:44Speaker 1: comment on hair matters. Next question Cassie from Orlando. With
- 20:48Speaker 1: DJ Chark's injury, do you think the need for a
- 20:51Speaker 1: new number one wide receiver in the next draft took
- 20:53Speaker 1: a huge leap up. It feels like we have not
- 20:56Speaker 1: had a real money wide receiver since Alan Robin's. Yeah,
- 21:02Speaker 1: the injury really didn't change my stance on it. I
- 21:04Speaker 1: I after watching the first four or five games, or
- 21:07Speaker 1: three or four games, I think that has become a
- 21:11Speaker 1: priority for this franchise at this point. If you look
- 21:14Speaker 1: around in the league, the teams that are really going
- 21:18Speaker 1: have a go to guy, and uh this week a J. Brown.
- 21:22Speaker 1: I still consider right now a J. Brown. The Titans
- 21:24Speaker 1: go to guy until Julio sort of gets right and
- 21:27Speaker 1: shows it. But big time teams right now seem to
- 21:31Speaker 1: have that guy who really scares you. I think it
- 21:34Speaker 1: was three in the first round this last draft. Well,
- 21:37Speaker 1: I think along with quarterback, it feels like that position
- 21:40Speaker 1: is gonna start getting pushed up because it's so vital
- 21:42Speaker 1: with the way the rules are. I don't know that
- 21:45Speaker 1: there's a number one on the team right now, no
- 21:47Speaker 1: matter who is out there, I mean, no matter who
- 21:49Speaker 1: is healthy. Uh So, yeah, I think finding a number one,
- 21:52Speaker 1: finding an alpha is going to be a priority. And
- 21:55Speaker 1: it appears jp that there are some guys in college
- 21:58Speaker 1: football who will fit that. Bill the kid at Southern
- 22:01Speaker 1: Cal whose name I forget, but the Garrett Wilson kid
- 22:05Speaker 1: and the love a kid at Ohio State both look
- 22:07Speaker 1: like they're that. I'll remind people a J. Brown, who
- 22:10Speaker 1: looked like one of the better receivers in the league,
- 22:12Speaker 1: was a second round pick, Ceedee Lamb and Richard Jefferson
- 22:15Speaker 1: both bottom third of the first round. So depending on
- 22:18Speaker 1: how the board balls, you don't necessarily need to go
- 22:20Speaker 1: and reach at the top of the draft for that
- 22:23Speaker 1: wide receiver. But it's it's got to be a massive
- 22:27Speaker 1: that in cornerback would in my estimation be positions I'm
- 22:31Speaker 1: going after early. Yeah, that's said JP, and I know
- 22:35Speaker 1: I'm interrupted. I don't know if that's the route they'll
- 22:37Speaker 1: be able to go. I mean, because obviously they have needs,
- 22:43Speaker 1: had a lot of positions, and we thought, like Brian
- 22:45Speaker 1: alluded to, I kind of thought they were set at
- 22:48Speaker 1: some of these premier positions cornerback. I thought they were
- 22:50Speaker 1: set with C. J. Henderson. Well, now all of a sudden,
- 22:53Speaker 1: prime draft capital gonna have to go to some spots
- 22:57Speaker 1: and maybe they thought they had figured out. We'll see
- 22:59Speaker 1: how that goes with see how it plays out. But
- 23:01Speaker 1: there's some needs. It appears unless something changed their last
- 23:04Speaker 1: thirteen games. It's only week five and we're already addressing
- 23:09Speaker 1: needs for two. That's the way things have gone. That's
- 23:13Speaker 1: probably not, but it's what it is, and that's that's
- 23:16Speaker 1: the way things are. And over four record will do
- 23:18Speaker 1: that to you. Let's come back and wrap it up
- 23:21Speaker 1: with some closing thoughts that will do it for the
- 23:23Speaker 1: ozone snapshot today and this is Jack's Drive Time on
- 23:26Speaker 1: the Jaguars Digital Network. Welcome back to Jack's Drive Time.

- 23:57Speaker 1: John O's your final thoughts of Jacks. I have time today.
- 24:01Speaker 1: You know, I think it's Chris Berman who always says
- 24:04Speaker 1: nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. Well, John,
- 24:08Speaker 1: it feels like the Jaguars need a little bit of
- 24:10Speaker 1: that karma this weekend. Circle the wagons and focus on Tennessee. Yeah,
- 24:15Speaker 1: no doubt and uh. One thing that I didn't say
- 24:18Speaker 1: in Big Things that I wanted to our quote about
- 24:21Speaker 1: Urban Meyer talking about being horrible when talking to players.
- 24:25Speaker 1: I got some questions and I got some feedback from
- 24:28Speaker 1: fans that they interpreted that as being that the conversations
- 24:34Speaker 1: went horrible, that it didn't have it didn't go well.
- 24:37Speaker 1: I took it more to mean Urban really just feeling
- 24:41Speaker 1: awful about the situation. Follow me. For him, it was horrible.
- 24:45Speaker 1: So you know, if people are listening, you know, I
- 24:48Speaker 1: think you can interpret it a little more that way.
- 24:51Speaker 1: It felt like some of the sites that right third
- 24:55Speaker 1: handoff things interpreted like, oh, it's still blowing up. I
- 24:59Speaker 1: didn't take that way, but you know that's just an aside.
- 25:02Speaker 1: But yes, overall they're gonna try to shut this out
- 25:05Speaker 1: and end this talk now as much as possible while
- 25:08Speaker 1: they're together, while they're preparing. Do you think, Brian, I
- 25:14Speaker 1: think take it one day at a time. Take you
- 25:16Speaker 1: you know even more than that, JP, Take it one
- 25:19Speaker 1: hour at a time. You know, get in front of
- 25:21Speaker 1: the team, get him out on the practice field, get
- 25:24Speaker 1: him in the meetings, do the things that you do,
- 25:26Speaker 1: and just you know, what's the old saying about who
- 25:29Speaker 1: said it John a thousand years ago? The best way
- 25:31Speaker 1: to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.
- 25:34Speaker 1: This is an elephant this week. It is impossible to
- 25:37Speaker 1: get around, to go through. You just gotta take your
- 25:40Speaker 1: little bites of it here and there, some of it's
- 25:43Speaker 1: not gonna taste very good, and just get the Sunday
- 25:45Speaker 1: and see if you can somehow take a huge bite
- 25:48Speaker 1: Sunday out of the Titans. I wasn't at that availability, Brian.
- 25:52Speaker 1: I didn't hear that Washington or shunt Sue, who are
- 26:00Speaker 1: somebody you know a thousand years ago. On that note,
- 26:04Speaker 1: let's call it a day. Brian John, appreciate you and
- 26:07Speaker 1: we'll talk to you again, most likely tomorrow. Trump Padilla
