Speaker 1: Welcome to Jacks Drive John with Ashlyn Sullimson with John Oshans,
0:08
Speaker 1: Bryan Sex Jacks Drive Time and he starts right now.
0:16
Speaker 1: Welcome in Jaguars Drivetime. Wednesday morning, Ashlyn, Bryan and John
0:20
Speaker 1: here with you, getting ready for a home game this
0:22
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Ravens. We were in the locker room
0:25
Speaker 1: on Monday talking to the guys. Were fresh, were charge
0:27
Speaker 1: making some changes on the bye week, but they all
0:29
Speaker 1: are very aware who is coming to Jacksonville on Sunday
0:33
Speaker 1: and everyone is talking about Lamar Jackson. Yeah, yea quite
0:39
Speaker 1: the challenge. That's so, there's no hot takes that um,
0:44
Speaker 1: so why would you start down h Yeah, Lamar Jackson
0:48
Speaker 1: is the overriding theme, just as Patrick mahomes they rid
0:51
Speaker 1: theme two weeks ago. So that's our topic this week.
0:54
Speaker 1: It sure is big things. Let's start a big thing.
0:56
Speaker 1: One is a chance the locker room is still talking
0:58
Speaker 1: about the playoffs because of worst they should be. There
1:00
Speaker 1: are seven weeks remaining. The Jaguars saying if they win
1:03
Speaker 1: those games out they finished with time wins and they
1:05
Speaker 1: make it into the playoffs. Technically, yes, it is still
1:08
Speaker 1: a possibility. You never really truly get away as a competitor,
1:13
Speaker 1: as a competitor knowing that you have the remaining stretch
1:16
Speaker 1: of your season which is going to be significant for
1:18
Speaker 1: us because they're going to UM we have to win
1:22
Speaker 1: in order to get in the playoffs, and uh we
1:24
Speaker 1: know that. So nobody really got away from it and
1:27
Speaker 1: um were just ready to get back get back to it.
1:31
Speaker 1: Big thing too, is where does the defense stand. We
1:33
Speaker 1: all know this defense is looking to improve these remaining
1:36
Speaker 1: seven weeks and limit the big place we saw the
1:38
Speaker 1: first half of the season and some changes coming to
1:41
Speaker 1: the defense expecting this week. Well made today after everybody
1:47
Speaker 1: kind of reflected and stuff that ways we're gonna utilize
1:50
Speaker 1: our players and stuff moving forward. So I was excited
1:52
Speaker 1: to hear all the not really changes in the defense,
1:54
Speaker 1: but just the ways that we feel like we'll be
1:56
Speaker 1: successful moving forward. It's gonna take a team after it, obviously,
1:59
Speaker 1: but we've got we have a good plan for these
2:01
Speaker 1: last seven games to start with this first game, so
2:03
Speaker 1: we're going. And finally, Big thing three is the return
2:07
Speaker 1: of Saxonville Calais Campbell making his return to Jacksonville on Sunday.
2:11
Speaker 1: Everyone looking forward seeing ninety three back in the building. Yeah,
2:17
Speaker 1: definitely me, Me and Josh definitely talked about it. He's
2:19
Speaker 1: definitely one of the most influential guys and in both
2:22
Speaker 1: of our caridge you know, he talked He talked me
2:24
Speaker 1: more than anything about how to take care of my body.
2:26
Speaker 1: You know, now into my six and seven year I'm
2:28
Speaker 1: saying that he was talking about the rookie year were
2:29
Speaker 1: definitely missing. I mean, kind of sad he was let
2:32
Speaker 1: go like a couple of years ago, but I mean
2:33
Speaker 1: he's shown that he can still play and you're not
2:35
Speaker 1: like Otis and the league and he's still building. So
2:39
Speaker 1: and now you have it. Those are big things. Getting
2:40
Speaker 1: ready for Sunday's game against the Ravens and we knew
2:43
Speaker 1: we wanted to talk about Calais Campbell, and in the
2:45
Speaker 1: locker room on Monday, we said, all right, you know,
2:47
Speaker 1: who can we talk to about this? And it's crazy
2:49
Speaker 1: to think how different this team looks since two thousand
2:52
Speaker 1: and seventeen because there were four guys that we could
2:55
Speaker 1: talk about the impact of Calais Campbell Smooth of course,
2:57
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and we had Shotley and Cam Robinson and
3:00
Speaker 1: that was really it from the team. You know, when
3:02
Speaker 1: you talk about the best free agent signings in Jaguars history,
3:06
Speaker 1: you have to talk about Keenan mccordell obviously, and Leon seriously,
3:10
Speaker 1: and probably Paul pus Lusni, But then Calais. I think
3:13
Speaker 1: there are some people that put Calais even higher than that.
3:16
Speaker 1: I Uh, I'm not sure that he's not a pride
3:19
Speaker 1: of the Jaguars guy. And that's insane because he played
3:22
Speaker 1: three years. But if you think of the impact, the
3:25
Speaker 1: love in the community, the fact that they were the
3:28
Speaker 1: last ten in eleven twelve years the year that he
3:31
Speaker 1: came in, and you know, a lot of things reshaped
3:34
Speaker 1: the franchise, but he reshaped the franchise that year from
3:37
Speaker 1: his first day and they got to the a f
3:39
Speaker 1: C Championship game, probably should have made the Super Bowl. Uh,
3:42
Speaker 1: the love in the community. I don't know that he'll
3:44
Speaker 1: you know, it's a way above my pay grade. I
3:46
Speaker 1: decide who's up there. But you know, I'm not sure
3:51
Speaker 1: that he's not in the top handful of guys who
3:54
Speaker 1: have ever influenced this team. I have a list of
3:55
Speaker 1: ten guys who I think belong in the product of the
4:00
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, and he's not next. For me, By the way,
4:02
Speaker 1: Keenan's next. No, I mean Keenan and Tom Coughlin have
4:06
Speaker 1: to be the next two. And Tony Brackens has to
4:08
Speaker 1: be in there before he gets there, and I think
4:10
Speaker 1: Maurice Jones drew, but he's there right around five, you know.
4:14
Speaker 1: I mean, I can list a bunch of guys that
4:16
Speaker 1: belong in there and and he certainly does, which is crazy.
4:19
Speaker 1: That was only three seasons to make that. But you know,
4:21
Speaker 1: he had four and a half sacks in his very
4:23
Speaker 1: first game. He was part of the transformation that year,
4:27
Speaker 1: and the plan if you go back and talk to
4:29
Speaker 1: Tom Coughlin or Dave Caldwell would tell you they thought
4:31
Speaker 1: they'd get three years out of that group, and they
4:33
Speaker 1: only got one because Leonard got hurt and then Cam
4:36
Speaker 1: Robinson got hurt and it all sort of fell apart um.
4:39
Speaker 1: But man, that year they went from four and twelve
4:44
Speaker 1: the year before, three and thirteen the year before to
4:46
Speaker 1: tenants six and ANFC Championship game, and he kind of
4:50
Speaker 1: pulled all the strings together on defense when he was
4:52
Speaker 1: great in the opener, that made everybody else believe it
4:56
Speaker 1: was possible then. And h yeah, I mean I don't
4:59
Speaker 1: think he should be next but Tony Brackens was a
5:03
Speaker 1: great defensive player. Uh, you're all time sack leader. But
5:06
Speaker 1: when Kallias was in his prime here, I think his
5:12
Speaker 1: first two years where his prime. He was better than
5:15
Speaker 1: any other two years stretch any any Jaguars defensive players
5:17
Speaker 1: ever had, I don't know. I would argue that Brackens
5:20
Speaker 1: was in Uh, was a dominant player. She was almost
5:24
Speaker 1: defensive player of the year. Let's go back up to
5:28
Speaker 1: big thing one, which is a chance. And of course
5:30
Speaker 1: you expect the Jaguars to be saying this and doing
5:32
Speaker 1: the math. If we win this game, if we win
5:34
Speaker 1: the division, we can make it into the playoffs. Of
5:36
Speaker 1: course you expect that. You want to hear that. The
5:39
Speaker 1: expectations are high right now for these next seven weeks.
5:41
Speaker 1: To sneak into the playoffs, a lot of things would
5:43
Speaker 1: have to go right. Well, it will go back talked
5:46
Speaker 1: and written about this a lot. They were four and seven,
5:49
Speaker 1: and they came off a terrible loss in Pittsburgh and
5:51
Speaker 1: cut Andre Riisen on Monday, and you thought, well, this
5:54
Speaker 1: thing is done. It's going nowhere. So they go to
5:56
Speaker 1: Baltimore ironically to play the Ravens, and they are down
6:01
Speaker 1: late in the ball game by eight points and Vinny
6:04
Speaker 1: Testaverdie puts the ball on the ground. It bounces right
6:06
Speaker 1: into the hands of Eddie Robinson, the linebacker. The Jaguars score,
6:10
Speaker 1: get the two point conversion and win it in overtime.
6:12
Speaker 1: That started a seven game winning streak, right And in
6:15
Speaker 1: that seven game winning streak, every ball bounced their way.
6:18
Speaker 1: So it wasn't just that they started playing well. They
6:20
Speaker 1: had some great fortune that they was created for them
6:23
Speaker 1: as well. Can it happen? Sure? Is it likely? You know? Um,
6:27
Speaker 1: but you could see a little run here. There's a
6:30
Speaker 1: lot of similarities between that team and this team, and
6:33
Speaker 1: it would be fun. In order for that to happen,
6:35
Speaker 1: it has to have to win on Sunday. Otherwise at
6:38
Speaker 1: that point, you know, I mean, it becomes so remote.
6:41
Speaker 1: But you went on Sunday, you create and John, you
6:43
Speaker 1: recall this this playoff atmosphere where every regular season Sunday
6:48
Speaker 1: became like, hey, if they win this one, and that's
6:51
Speaker 1: what we've been talking about for this team, just be
6:53
Speaker 1: in the conversation. If they went on Sunday, they're just
6:56
Speaker 1: on the cusp of it, right, They're not as entrenched
6:58
Speaker 1: in it as they could be. Had they in some
7:00
Speaker 1: of those winnable games in October. But they'll be in
7:02
Speaker 1: it and you'll have people talking, and that's what gets
7:05
Speaker 1: people excited about where it's headed. I would love for
7:08
Speaker 1: it to happen. The one difference I see with that
7:11
Speaker 1: nineties six team, until they got to the playoffs, the
7:15
Speaker 1: schedule really laid out for a run. It was it
7:17
Speaker 1: was Cincinnati and Huston. You had teams that were uh struggling.
7:23
Speaker 1: This Jaguars team faces a juggernaut down the stretch. So again,
7:29
Speaker 1: I keep going back to this point, it would not
7:33
Speaker 1: surprise me if there's no game down the stretch, they
7:38
Speaker 1: would walk up the field goal. Man, I can't believe
7:39
Speaker 1: Jaguars won that because they've been in every game. It
7:43
Speaker 1: would surprise me if they won them all. Because it's
7:46
Speaker 1: I think all the games will be close. I think
7:47
Speaker 1: they'll be in it. To me, what you watch for
7:50
Speaker 1: in these last seven games is can they start making
7:54
Speaker 1: the play at the end of the game to get
7:56
Speaker 1: them over the hump, which they have been able to
7:58
Speaker 1: do yet. So if if they do that seven times,
8:01
Speaker 1: then sure they can win. I think that. I think
8:02
Speaker 1: they'll be in six of these games. Can they close
8:05
Speaker 1: the door. We'll find out if they could close the
8:07
Speaker 1: door on some of them, especially on Sunday, it'll be fun.
8:10
Speaker 1: And many guys in the locker room, especially on Monday,
8:12
Speaker 1: were mentioning the division and that's the pathway, that's the
8:15
Speaker 1: key to getting into this this playoff is winning the division.
8:18
Speaker 1: And they said, hey, you know, we're two games out.
8:20
Speaker 1: We have three divisional matchups left. It's possible. But every
8:23
Speaker 1: single player that I talked to on Monday was laying
8:26
Speaker 1: out these divisional games. Now they're already important. They are
8:29
Speaker 1: so much more important. Man, do they regret the Texans
8:33
Speaker 1: and the Colts, especially that Texans game out? You regret
8:36
Speaker 1: those because you could be three and o in the
8:37
Speaker 1: division in command? Absolutely, and that is big things. We
8:40
Speaker 1: come back, much more to come on Jaguars Drive Time
8:43
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Digital Network Publix. Were shopping is a
8:52
Speaker 1: pleasure that presenting sponsor of Sunday's game against the Ravens.
9:00
Speaker 1: We're about Jaguars Drivetime Wednesday morning, getting ready for Sunday's
9:03
Speaker 1: game against the Ravens here at home in Jacksonville. And
9:05
Speaker 1: now we bring in Ravens hopes scare it downing now
9:08
Speaker 1: to Jaguars Drive Time. Thank you for waking up for
9:10
Speaker 1: us this morning. Absolutely thanks for having me on for sure.
9:14
Speaker 1: And what can this Jaguars team expect with the Baltimore
9:17
Speaker 1: Ravens coming to town this weekend? What is the state
9:19
Speaker 1: of the Ravens. Look, this Ravens team is really good.
9:23
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of confidence with this group
9:25
Speaker 1: about what they can do this season. There in first
9:28
Speaker 1: place in the a f C North. They're running a
9:30
Speaker 1: four game winning streak and I think that again, the
9:33
Speaker 1: sky is the limit for this team, and there's certainly
9:36
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence with this group. You know, this
9:38
Speaker 1: defense is playing really well. They're coming off their best
9:41
Speaker 1: two games stretch of the season in New Orleans on
9:43
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football and then last week at home against Carolina.
9:47
Speaker 1: They made a big trade at the deadline to add
9:49
Speaker 1: linebacker ro Kwan Smith from the Bears, and he's made
9:52
Speaker 1: an immediate impact with this group and I think everybody
9:55
Speaker 1: around him is playing better as a result. So this
9:57
Speaker 1: defense is playing lights out. And then of course, whenever
10:00
Speaker 1: you're playing the Ravens, Lamar Jackson takes center stage, uh,
10:03
Speaker 1: and he's continuing to have a really strong season. Talk
10:06
Speaker 1: to me about Rokuan Smith and Patrick Queen and Patrick obviously,
10:10
Speaker 1: for folks who have followed the Ravens a bit at all,
10:14
Speaker 1: he's one of those flashing playmakers who's constantly around the ball.
10:17
Speaker 1: How are his and Smith's rules similar or different? What
10:22
Speaker 1: are they asking Roquan Smith to do well? We got
10:26
Speaker 1: our first real taste of it Sunday against Carolina because
10:29
Speaker 1: this was the first time that that Roquan Smith was
10:32
Speaker 1: able to go out play every snap. Against New Orleans,
10:34
Speaker 1: he was sort of just thrown into the fire actually
10:36
Speaker 1: the trade right before that game, and he ended up
10:38
Speaker 1: playing about of the snaps, and then against Carolina he
10:42
Speaker 1: played the full percent of the snaps and so the Queen,
10:45
Speaker 1: both those guys were on the field for every play.
10:47
Speaker 1: And I think what we've seen is that Rokuan's ability
10:50
Speaker 1: to basically both those guys have great sideline to sideline speeds,
10:54
Speaker 1: so they can fly all over the field. Roquan's ability
10:57
Speaker 1: to kind of step in there in the middle has
10:59
Speaker 1: allowed Queen to really use that speed to his advantage.
11:02
Speaker 1: And he's coming off maybe his best game as a
11:05
Speaker 1: Raven last week. This is a former first round pick,
11:08
Speaker 1: he's in his third season. Now he had twelve tackles,
11:11
Speaker 1: a half sacked last week tackle for a loss. Uh,
11:14
Speaker 1: and he's just been playing with his hair on fire.
11:16
Speaker 1: And and when he was coming out, I'm sure you
11:19
Speaker 1: know a lot of your fans will have watched a
11:22
Speaker 1: lot of SEC football. He was a great player at
11:24
Speaker 1: l s U of the year they won the national
11:25
Speaker 1: championship with Joe Burrow. He was the defensive m VP
11:29
Speaker 1: in that National Championship game. And uh, everyone knew about
11:32
Speaker 1: his speed and and that's what I think has kind
11:35
Speaker 1: of been unlocked with him in recent games. And you
11:38
Speaker 1: just see him flying all over the field, making plays
11:41
Speaker 1: in the backfield, making plays along the sidelines. And if
11:44
Speaker 1: he continues to play like he did on Sunday, then
11:47
Speaker 1: him and Rokwan Smith are probably the best you know,
11:49
Speaker 1: inside linebacker do in the NFL. Hey, Garrett, I think people, uh,
11:54
Speaker 1: if they're not paying close attention, may have missed how
11:56
Speaker 1: good this Ravens team is and how good they could be.
12:00
Speaker 1: An amazing stat they've led by ten points in every game.
12:04
Speaker 1: Uh So, how good does this team think they are? Uh?
12:09
Speaker 1: It feels to me like a team that should believe
12:11
Speaker 1: that it can compete to go all the way. Yeah,
12:14
Speaker 1: I think that is the expectation that they you know,
12:18
Speaker 1: have they just have a lot of confidence, um, and
12:21
Speaker 1: and that you know, they believe that this is a
12:23
Speaker 1: really good team. UM. Now where that goes, we'll we'll
12:26
Speaker 1: find out. But the hope is that you know, this
12:28
Speaker 1: team can can certainly you know, be one of the
12:31
Speaker 1: best in the league. Um. You look at the schedule.
12:33
Speaker 1: You know, earlier in the season, they lost to the Bills,
12:36
Speaker 1: they lost to the Dolphins, and both those games they
12:38
Speaker 1: had big leads in the fourth quarter. Uh, same goes
12:41
Speaker 1: from then played the Giants. Basically every game that the
12:43
Speaker 1: Ravens lost. All three games, they had big leads late
12:46
Speaker 1: in that game and they just weren't able to put
12:48
Speaker 1: it away. And John Harball kind of said at that point,
12:51
Speaker 1: you know, the beauty of that those losses, well, of
12:54
Speaker 1: course you don't want them, but the beauty of it
12:57
Speaker 1: is that you you learn, uh, and you kind of
13:00
Speaker 1: attention to the things that you need to improve if
13:02
Speaker 1: you win those games, and you can kind of gloss
13:04
Speaker 1: over on the sweep one of the rug and pretend
13:06
Speaker 1: like those deficiencies don't really exist. When you lose, it's
13:09
Speaker 1: not as easy to do that, um. And so they
13:12
Speaker 1: took a hard look at some things and they've made
13:14
Speaker 1: improvements in certain areas. But yeah, I mean the rate
13:17
Speaker 1: was easily could have won any of those three games
13:18
Speaker 1: that they that they lost, and then they you'd be
13:21
Speaker 1: sitting here saying, oh this this team has the best
13:23
Speaker 1: record in the a f C. So um, I think
13:27
Speaker 1: they're a really good team. Um. But you know they
13:30
Speaker 1: needed their a team Like last week it was a
13:32
Speaker 1: close game against Carolina offense kind of uh sputtered out
13:35
Speaker 1: of the gate. So um, as you guys know, aline
13:37
Speaker 1: thing can happen on Sunday and they're certainly taking that
13:41
Speaker 1: mindset over the course of this week. And finally, Garrett,
13:44
Speaker 1: we were just talking about Klais Campbell at the start
13:47
Speaker 1: of our show, A guy that means a lot to
13:48
Speaker 1: a lot of people here in this building. What have
13:50
Speaker 1: you seen from Calais so late in his career. Yeah,
13:54
Speaker 1: I'm sure the same thing that all you guys saw
13:56
Speaker 1: him when he was in Jacksonville. Um. You know, he's
13:59
Speaker 1: a he's a player, is so well respected. I think
14:02
Speaker 1: a lot of people were worried that he was going
14:03
Speaker 1: to retire this offseason. He flirted with that idea, really
14:06
Speaker 1: considered it, but ultimately made the decision to come back
14:09
Speaker 1: and play. And then once he decided to come back
14:11
Speaker 1: and play, the question was whether he was going to
14:13
Speaker 1: stay here. Uh, and the Ravens were able to work
14:15
Speaker 1: out a contract extension with him to keep him here.
14:18
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, he's he's a great guy. I
14:20
Speaker 1: don't off the field, he's involved in the community, he's
14:22
Speaker 1: a leader in the locker room, and he's playing really
14:25
Speaker 1: good football. This defensive line is I think kind of
14:29
Speaker 1: quietly been one of the strengths of this team over
14:32
Speaker 1: the course of the year. And obviously Collis Campbell is
14:35
Speaker 1: a leader of that group, so you know he's having
14:38
Speaker 1: a he's having a terrific season. Um, They've got Ravens
14:40
Speaker 1: have a couple of veteran players, Calais being one of them,
14:43
Speaker 1: Justin Houston being another, who are pushing off father time
14:47
Speaker 1: and showing that they can keep playing at a high
14:49
Speaker 1: level in the twilight stages of their career. Going to
14:52
Speaker 1: be an exciting game on Sunday, Garrett, thank you so

Speaker 1: if Chad mom is getting a bunch of snaps, it's
15:40
Speaker 1: a breakthrough position there. Um. Is it alan to pressure
15:45
Speaker 1: a quarterback who's difficult to pressure because of his mobility,
15:48
Speaker 1: or is it that linebacker and one of those guys
15:51
Speaker 1: is going to have to know where he's at it
15:53
Speaker 1: old times right and run to the ball and make plays.
15:57
Speaker 1: Who I say it's the linebacker? Whoever this Devin Lloyd
16:01
Speaker 1: or Chad Muma, they've got to make place. Yeah. I
16:05
Speaker 1: mean it's it's tough. That's why it's a good this
16:07
Speaker 1: or that, Brian, because anytime Josh Allen has a breakthrough game,
16:14
Speaker 1: he's having a game of immediacy. I like to call
16:17
Speaker 1: it because he's breaking through right at the quarterback. So
16:21
Speaker 1: if he breaks through and has two sacks and a
16:23
Speaker 1: forced fumble, then all of a sudden, whatever anybody else
16:26
Speaker 1: is doing matters a lot less. That's the impact he
16:28
Speaker 1: can make. We saw it against Josh Allen last year
16:30
Speaker 1: of the Bills um, so I I would still say
16:35
Speaker 1: it's more important for Josh Allen because of the impact
16:38
Speaker 1: of the past rush on any game. But I get
16:40
Speaker 1: your point. As as mobile as Jackson is, it's tough
16:43
Speaker 1: called slant and if you're asking who needs a bigger
16:47
Speaker 1: game right now, I think you have to make the
16:48
Speaker 1: argument it's Josh Allen from anyone on this team. Right now,
16:52
Speaker 1: everyone is starting to ask questions about Josh Allen and
16:54
Speaker 1: where are the sacks and where's the production, And we
16:56
Speaker 1: all predict at some point it's going to show up
16:58
Speaker 1: and we're going to see a Bills like performing from
17:00
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. But I feel like every week we're gonna say,
17:02
Speaker 1: all right, this is the week, this is when it's
17:04
Speaker 1: going to happen. And I think for Josh it's crucial
17:06
Speaker 1: that he needs that breakthrough game at some points on Sunday,
17:09
Speaker 1: yes later in his career. For that reason, I mean
17:11
Speaker 1: that Devin Lloyd is getting his snaps reduced, so I
17:15
Speaker 1: think personally Devin Lloyd probably feels like he needs it
17:18
Speaker 1: as well. There's a lot of urgency for both these
17:20
Speaker 1: guys this week. Who's the tougher matchup, Lamar Jackson or
17:26
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes And I wouldn't have thrown this out there
17:28
Speaker 1: except they just played Patrick Mahomes. Um, I don't think
17:32
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is quite on the level of quarterbacks uh
17:38
Speaker 1: as Mahomes maybe Josh Allen the elite guy. And then
17:43
Speaker 1: as soon as you say that, you stop and think
17:46
Speaker 1: you're gonna be sitting in that press box, then you're
17:48
Speaker 1: gonna be on the sidelines and the brutal cold weather. Um.
17:51
Speaker 1: And you think when it's third and eight and you
17:55
Speaker 1: have a two point lead late in the game, I
17:58
Speaker 1: don't know that you don't consider Lamar Jackson lee at
18:00
Speaker 1: that point because he's you know, so, Uh, I don't
18:05
Speaker 1: know there's a good answer to this question. He's the
18:09
Speaker 1: best in the league. It's a good Lamar Jackson is
18:12
Speaker 1: that guy. Don't think for a minute that he's not
18:16
Speaker 1: as dangerous in big situations as Patrick. Absolutely. Uh And
18:19
Speaker 1: the word dangerous leads me to say Jackson because just
18:24
Speaker 1: as soon as you think you've got him bottled up,
18:27
Speaker 1: he's getting nine yards when he needed seven, and and
18:30
Speaker 1: when you had everything covered, and then you have one
18:33
Speaker 1: on one where you need a Lloyd or a Mumo
18:35
Speaker 1: or a Luiku to be able to get there. It's
18:38
Speaker 1: like Jason Kyler Murray. I mean incredible speed and elusiveness.
18:42
Speaker 1: So I'll say, in terms of the word dangerous, it's Jackson.
18:45
Speaker 1: And then when Jackson gets seven every couple of games,
18:49
Speaker 1: he turns it into eighty, which you know, everybody you
18:52
Speaker 1: talked about Jackson, I mean you watch him, you feel it.
18:55
Speaker 1: He's the quintessential guy in the NFL. Right now that
18:59
Speaker 1: you can beat him for fifty eight minutes and thank
19:02
Speaker 1: you got him beat and then he beats you in
19:04
Speaker 1: minute fifty nine, How would you like to have to
19:06
Speaker 1: go negotiate with him this offseason? It's not going to
19:10
Speaker 1: be pretty for those folks in Baltimore. Ye. And when
19:12
Speaker 1: you think specifically to this Jaguars defense and the struggles
19:14
Speaker 1: they've had against mobile quarterbacks, they go back to that
19:16
Speaker 1: brutal game in Philadelphia that I always talk about, right,
19:21
Speaker 1: I think specifically to this Jaguars defense. The bigger challenge
19:24
Speaker 1: is Lamar Jackson because when you think of a mobile
19:25
Speaker 1: running quarterback, you think of Lamar Jackson. You probably think
19:28
Speaker 1: of Patrick Mahomes in the top three, but Lamar Jackson
19:30
Speaker 1: to me is always number one when you think that
19:33
Speaker 1: he's lightning in a bottle. Yes, indeed going to be
19:35
Speaker 1: a big challenge on Sunday for the Jaguars. And my
19:38
Speaker 1: this or that is talking about that cornerback position that
19:40
Speaker 1: the Jaguars at this point, I feel like they aren't
19:43
Speaker 1: going to get it right these remaining seven weeks. Neither
19:45
Speaker 1: of these guys are ideal for the answer long term
19:48
Speaker 1: for the cornerback position, the starting cornerback across from Tyson Campbell.
19:52
Speaker 1: But for these remaining seven weeks, what do you want
19:54
Speaker 1: guys want to see? Do you want to see Trey
19:55
Speaker 1: Hearn and you know what he is, He's consistent, he's reliable,
19:59
Speaker 1: you understand what trade heard and ceiling is. Or do
20:01
Speaker 1: you want to see the young guy? Do you want
20:02
Speaker 1: to give the reps to Buster Brown and see what
20:05
Speaker 1: he can become. I want to see Brown? Uh two
20:07
Speaker 1: weeks ago, two games ago, um he played okay, in
20:12
Speaker 1: coverage and struggled a bit against the Raiders tackling, and
20:15
Speaker 1: then in Kansas City he struggled a bit in coverage
20:18
Speaker 1: like a lot of players do against Kansas City, but
20:20
Speaker 1: tackled better. Um, he's all sec led the league with interceptions.
20:25
Speaker 1: Is a terrific football player. He's just undersized right, um,
20:29
Speaker 1: and obviously has a lot to learn. You're looking at
20:33
Speaker 1: needing multiple defensive backs for the way that this game
20:36
Speaker 1: has played these days, and you're gonna have to go
20:38
Speaker 1: find them. If you find one on your roster right now,
20:41
Speaker 1: that's one unless you have to try to find in
20:43
Speaker 1: the draft next year. Yeah. I mean, if if you're
20:46
Speaker 1: asking me, if I had to have just one guy
20:49
Speaker 1: there the rest of the season, I'd probably go with Brown.
20:52
Speaker 1: I think they will continue to do what they've done,
20:54
Speaker 1: which is play them both and play them situationally and
20:57
Speaker 1: give Brown a chance to come on. Uh, it's not
21:00
Speaker 1: knock on Trey Herndon. I like Trey Herndon as a
21:03
Speaker 1: reserve on this team because you feel like it's somebody
21:06
Speaker 1: you can rely on to get you through a game
21:08
Speaker 1: or two. I don't think he's a seven team game guy.
21:12
Speaker 1: So yes, C. Brown for the rest of the season
21:15
Speaker 1: if you had to choose that route, all right, And
21:18
Speaker 1: that is this or that presented by price dot Com.
21:19
Speaker 1: And we come back on Jaguars Drive Time some closing thoughts.
21:30
