0:21
Speaker 1: John Os, you're in time for coffee with the coach.
0:23
Speaker 1: To kick it off, as head coach Doug Brown joined us,
0:26
Speaker 1: how are you this morning? I'm doing well good. We
0:29
Speaker 1: just we wondered with the whole Yankee thing. Yeah that
0:32
Speaker 1: was tough, Yeah, yeah stuff, But I'm over it. I'm
0:35
Speaker 1: focused on, you know, the team. Okay, I guess that's
0:38
Speaker 1: our que not to talk. Don't bring it up. Well used,
0:41
Speaker 1: you know, it is baseball, It's October day. Yankee fanish
0:46
Speaker 1: he was in the tank to really tough. But if
0:49
Speaker 1: you evennew the Red Sox were better, but still didn't
0:51
Speaker 1: mean it didn't hurt futures bright and here we go.
0:56
Speaker 1: We've got plenty to talk about this morning. Just curious
0:58
Speaker 1: as a New Yorker Dallas and New York, the Giants
1:02
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys thing. Is there any deep seated animosity
1:05
Speaker 1: towards Dallas and the Cowboys? No, I don't. Not for me,
1:10
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't grow up in that that are
1:12
Speaker 1: there were there are a lot of Cowboy fans actually, um,
1:15
Speaker 1: you know where I grew up and a lot of
1:16
Speaker 1: Giant fans. But you know, like like I said before,
1:19
Speaker 1: I wasn't a fan of either either team. So, um,
1:23
Speaker 1: you know, for us, it's it's the second game, you know,
1:26
Speaker 1: the second quarter. We're coming off a loss. So we're
1:28
Speaker 1: just focused on you know, going in there and going
1:31
Speaker 1: on the road, which is always difficult, difficult place to
1:33
Speaker 1: play a lot of distractions there. We talked to our
1:35
Speaker 1: team about it during the week, but just to be
1:37
Speaker 1: focused and and um, go out there and play well.
1:40
Speaker 1: It fascinating. It fascinating me this week, Doug, when you
1:42
Speaker 1: said that you sort of like the adversity the teams
1:46
Speaker 1: facing in a way, I'm sure you don't like the injuries,
1:48
Speaker 1: but are you anxious to see how the team responds
1:51
Speaker 1: to Is that what you like about it? Oh? Yeah,
1:53
Speaker 1: I do. I like, you know, I like you know,
1:56
Speaker 1: adversity is is you know, either gonna step up or
1:59
Speaker 1: you're gonna step away. And I think it reveals you
2:02
Speaker 1: know your true character and you know, yes, you know
2:05
Speaker 1: there is some adversity you know that we're going through
2:07
Speaker 1: right now. But it also with adversity gives you the
2:10
Speaker 1: opportunity to improve. And I think that's what I'm excited about, um,
2:14
Speaker 1: you know, working to improve, thinking outside the box, thinking
2:17
Speaker 1: about things that we have to do to get ourselves
2:19
Speaker 1: in position to win and you know, not not be
2:22
Speaker 1: woes me or anything like that, and get excited about it.
2:25
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like the opposite approach where you know,
2:28
Speaker 1: when you have everybody and you're playing well, you know,
2:30
Speaker 1: you feel good. And then the other ways when you
2:32
Speaker 1: get this type of adversity, you know, you you really
2:35
Speaker 1: just step up to the plate and you know, I've
2:37
Speaker 1: been through it before and and and I like it.
2:39
Speaker 1: It just it just weeds things out because those adversity
2:42
Speaker 1: is something that it's very difficult to create on a
2:45
Speaker 1: football team during you know, O T A S or midicamp,
2:48
Speaker 1: preseason is a little bit you know, just just more
2:51
Speaker 1: of the grind, you know, But now it's it's a
2:53
Speaker 1: full impact of of what's going on because you're getting
2:56
Speaker 1: it from the outside, from the inside, you know, and
2:59
Speaker 1: you just have to step up and go. I had
3:01
Speaker 1: a coach tell me once. They liked it, because this
3:03
Speaker 1: is when you can get the players attention to They
3:06
Speaker 1: listened to you when it's yeah, I think you know,
3:08
Speaker 1: I think it goes two ways. You know. You know,
3:11
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to feel sorry for yourself.
3:13
Speaker 1: It just separates things. It reveals, you know, a lot
3:15
Speaker 1: of true character. I believe we have a good character
3:17
Speaker 1: on this team, and we're gonna be tested. Have you
3:20
Speaker 1: ever had a season without adversity? Yeah, there's there's something.
3:23
Speaker 1: You know. Last year we didn't have many injuries, you know, um,
3:27
Speaker 1: and we were trying to find out about ourselves, you know,
3:29
Speaker 1: and we kind of went back and forth, bouncing back
3:31
Speaker 1: early on, and we went on a little run, and
3:33
Speaker 1: you know, we lost at the end of the year,
3:35
Speaker 1: you know, and then came back with a strong performance
3:37
Speaker 1: in in the uh, in the in the you know,
3:39
Speaker 1: the postseason, but uh, and then fell short. But you know,
3:42
Speaker 1: so it's a little bit there. But um, not really
3:46
Speaker 1: much during the season last year. And now we're a
3:47
Speaker 1: team that you know, has obviously high expectations of ourselves
3:51
Speaker 1: and you know, we're in we're three and two, we're
3:53
Speaker 1: in the second quarter. We're trying to keep things in perspective.
3:56
Speaker 1: You know, we do have injuries, and it's it's a
3:59
Speaker 1: challenge and it's it's something that we've got to do
4:01
Speaker 1: a great job of. It was a busy coach, It
4:03
Speaker 1: was a busy week around here. New editions. What do
4:05
Speaker 1: you think of those new guys in the building. I'm excited,
4:08
Speaker 1: I really am. You know, you know Jamal Charles and
4:11
Speaker 1: and and our other running back Derek has has done
4:13
Speaker 1: a nice job. I mean they really came in and
4:15
Speaker 1: and um and and look good on on the field.
4:18
Speaker 1: So you know, again it's one of those things you
4:21
Speaker 1: got to get excited about. Um, you know, Jamal can
4:24
Speaker 1: come in his leadership. He's done a lot in the NFL. Obviously,
4:27
Speaker 1: he's had an unbelievable career and we want to make
4:29
Speaker 1: sure that we can extend that. He's come in here
4:31
Speaker 1: to perform well. And um, you know we're excited about that.
4:36
Speaker 1: What about the other two guys, Uh, Dave Williams and
4:39
Speaker 1: both Scarboroughs and power Runners guys that can help you
4:42
Speaker 1: on the practice field. Yeah, David Williams looks good, you know.
4:44
Speaker 1: I mean he's come in and and he's done a
4:46
Speaker 1: nice job. I think we've upgraded ourselves and those those
4:49
Speaker 1: those situations of you know where else will we were
4:52
Speaker 1: gonna go? Um, And then both Scarborough's come in and
4:55
Speaker 1: on the practice squad with another big back and someone
4:57
Speaker 1: that we can you know look at. So you know,
4:59
Speaker 1: between those those those three guys, um, you know, we
5:02
Speaker 1: we feel good. We feel like you know, they're they're
5:04
Speaker 1: part of our team now and you know the challenges
5:07
Speaker 1: you know implementing them right away. You know, it's a
5:09
Speaker 1: short week, you know for them, and it's it's a
5:11
Speaker 1: whirlwind a little bit, and uh, you know, you spend
5:14
Speaker 1: the extra time, you get them ready to go, and
5:16
Speaker 1: those guys have been uh great as far as doing
5:18
Speaker 1: that and putting in the time getting themselves ready to
5:21
Speaker 1: go because you know we obviously we're gonna need him
5:23
Speaker 1: to play this Sunday. There's been so much to talk
5:25
Speaker 1: about the offensive identity UM and having to I guess
5:30
Speaker 1: refined it without all the injuries. Do you see it
5:34
Speaker 1: that way or do you still know what this offense is? Well?
5:36
Speaker 1: I think you got to play to the level of
5:38
Speaker 1: strength of the players that you have. And then obviously
5:41
Speaker 1: you know, we we've we've lost a couple of players.
5:43
Speaker 1: We all know what you know, you you spend you
5:45
Speaker 1: know ot, you spend your draft, you spend your O
5:47
Speaker 1: t age, your free agency. You know, you're doing everything
5:50
Speaker 1: to try to, uh make sure that you know, you
5:52
Speaker 1: can go out and establish the identity and then and
5:54
Speaker 1: then you have, you know, injuries that occur with positions,
5:57
Speaker 1: so all of a sudden, you just gotta take a look.
5:59
Speaker 1: You know, you don't want to, uh, you know, pound
6:01
Speaker 1: a square peg into a round hole, you know, necessarily,
6:04
Speaker 1: and you know where at a point now where hey, listen,
6:06
Speaker 1: everything's on the table now. You know, whatever we have
6:08
Speaker 1: to do to win, that's what we're gonna be. That's
6:10
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. And if it has to be
6:13
Speaker 1: U change in a different direction, then so be it,
6:16
Speaker 1: you know, as long as it creates results, and that's
6:18
Speaker 1: what we're looking for. You know. Um, the offensive line
6:21
Speaker 1: is that group that needs to be cohesive. And yet
6:23
Speaker 1: you've had guys who have been been practicing dickers you
6:26
Speaker 1: beat up, but still playing and now you're on your
6:28
Speaker 1: third left tackle, which is obviously a challenge. Uh, how
6:31
Speaker 1: do you how do you get that group to play
6:33
Speaker 1: on the same page week to week? Coach when they're
6:35
Speaker 1: not on the same page on Wednesday Thursday. Well, that's
6:38
Speaker 1: that's the challenge. You know. Wednesday we had three or
6:40
Speaker 1: three of them out, you know, um, and obviously we
6:43
Speaker 1: have you know, like you said, our third left tackle in,
6:45
Speaker 1: you know, and it's just a matter of you know,
6:47
Speaker 1: you're in the room, you're talking, you're communicating. There's a
6:49
Speaker 1: lot of things that you can do, you know, off
6:52
Speaker 1: the field, but you know, make no mistake about it.
6:55
Speaker 1: You know, you do have to practice together, and that's
6:57
Speaker 1: something that you're always trying to catch up on, especially
6:59
Speaker 1: if you're you know, putting people in and out, putting
7:01
Speaker 1: people in and out. So um, you know, it's it's
7:04
Speaker 1: a challenging situation and those guys have to step up
7:07
Speaker 1: because you know, obviously this week we're facing a very
7:10
Speaker 1: talented front seven with the Dallas Cowboys, and we need
7:13
Speaker 1: to play well there. We talked about it all week
7:15
Speaker 1: that this defense didn't play bad against Kansas City, but
7:18
Speaker 1: in the locker room after the game, you would have
7:20
Speaker 1: thought they would based on their reaction. Do you expect
7:22
Speaker 1: them to see a difference this week in the defense? Well,
7:25
Speaker 1: I think for us, the way we look at it,
7:26
Speaker 1: in a way, our team. And this is what I
7:28
Speaker 1: give our team great credit for is that, you know,
7:30
Speaker 1: we look at everything from a team perspective, so we
7:33
Speaker 1: don't look at things and break them down as far
7:36
Speaker 1: as a team or coaches from you know, offense, defense,
7:39
Speaker 1: special teams. You know, we all know that. Hey listen,
7:42
Speaker 1: if if if they score four team points, you know,
7:45
Speaker 1: the opposing team, and our defense feels like they got
7:48
Speaker 1: to hold them at their team. You know, if if
7:50
Speaker 1: if we've given up you know, you know, forty points
7:53
Speaker 1: and our offense feels like they have to score forty one.
7:55
Speaker 1: You know, and special teams obviously comes into it. So
7:58
Speaker 1: we understand it's a team game. Him and um, that's
8:01
Speaker 1: how we look at things. So you know, we look
8:03
Speaker 1: at it as listen, what windn't lose. You know, people
8:05
Speaker 1: on the outside are gonna say, well, this part of
8:07
Speaker 1: the game was well, or this group played well, or
8:10
Speaker 1: this unit however it's done. But at the end of
8:13
Speaker 1: the day, a true team, we're gonna sit in there
8:15
Speaker 1: and say, hey, listen, this is what we have to
8:16
Speaker 1: improve upon. Um, you don't get into pointing fingers. And
8:19
Speaker 1: that's what usually leads to it when you're talking about
8:21
Speaker 1: which groups played well. Which groups didn't. Hey, we all
8:24
Speaker 1: need to improve, we all we all have to do
8:26
Speaker 1: a better job, and we have to win football games.
8:28
Speaker 1: I'm sure you'll say, we'll see on Sunday, But do
8:31
Speaker 1: you like how they've responded this week? We'll see how Sunday.
8:35
Speaker 1: You're welcome, Thank you, um before we let you go.
8:39
Speaker 1: Big one tonight, Big big game tonight, Big game tonight.
8:44
Speaker 1: Everybody's fired up, everybody's ready to go. I'll be on
8:47
Speaker 1: this sideline from you. I'll be on I'll be I'll
8:49
Speaker 1: be in the stands in the corner. Nervous as hell.
8:52
Speaker 1: I'll be walking on the track, same way on the
8:54
Speaker 1: BA case side. So you get that nervous I do, Yeah,
8:58
Speaker 1: I do. I do. I get you know, because you know,
9:01
Speaker 1: I think it's like it's it's truly truly like a fan,
9:04
Speaker 1: like you know, you have anxiety, you know, and the
9:07
Speaker 1: reason why it's because you have no control. And you
9:10
Speaker 1: know that's the one thing that I think, you know,
9:12
Speaker 1: I feel. I think I have a pretty good perspective
9:15
Speaker 1: of like with our fans. You know, hey, I know
9:17
Speaker 1: what they want to see and I know what the
9:19
Speaker 1: performance wants to you know, they want to we want
9:21
Speaker 1: it to look like and you get frustrated because obviously
9:24
Speaker 1: they can't come in and and do that, and it's
9:26
Speaker 1: difficult and and I guess I feel the same way,
9:29
Speaker 1: which I think keeps it keeps it balanced for me
9:32
Speaker 1: to make sure I have a true understanding of feelings
9:35
Speaker 1: for everybody. You know, you can probably relate to this
9:36
Speaker 1: when Jake played tennis and that maybe you do to
9:39
Speaker 1: coach uh football that that conversation is where I relate
9:42
Speaker 1: to my son. It's where we can talk. You know,
9:44
Speaker 1: he's seventeen years old and you get to the end
9:46
Speaker 1: of the day and if he has a good game,
9:48
Speaker 1: he wants to talk. And if he has a game
9:50
Speaker 1: where he doesn't play so well, it's harder to talk.
9:52
Speaker 1: And I'm always looking for okay, well I can talk
9:54
Speaker 1: to him about that play. So I mean, I don't
9:57
Speaker 1: know that I would say nervous, but I'm always nervous
9:59
Speaker 1: for him because I want to be able to say afterwards, hey,
10:02
Speaker 1: good game, just to get that that smile on his
10:04
Speaker 1: face at the end of the day. What position does
10:06
Speaker 1: your son play? He plays like an outside linebacker. Yeah,
10:10
Speaker 1: that's a pretty interesting perspective. Just you know, I mean,
10:13
Speaker 1: you want it. You want to go out there. You
10:14
Speaker 1: know you you you want, you want the best for everyone.
10:17
Speaker 1: It's no different than you know, how I go out
10:19
Speaker 1: there and how I would look at my son or
10:21
Speaker 1: his team to play the same way I look at
10:23
Speaker 1: our team. You know, you know these guys that have
10:25
Speaker 1: come in or the offensive line question or where you
10:28
Speaker 1: know what's going on there. You know, you put the
10:30
Speaker 1: work in during the week, you know, and you and
10:32
Speaker 1: you see the the athlete put in the work. And
10:35
Speaker 1: then what you do as a coach when you're on
10:37
Speaker 1: a sideentize you want to see him do well, you know.
10:40
Speaker 1: And I think, like you said before, it's the same
10:42
Speaker 1: in the NFL or any level. You know, when they
10:45
Speaker 1: when they play well, they come in and they win games,
10:47
Speaker 1: is a little bit different spirit to the team. Then
10:50
Speaker 1: then when you um, you know, you don't perform well
10:53
Speaker 1: or you don't play well, and then you come in
10:55
Speaker 1: and and then you know you gotta revisit it and said,
10:57
Speaker 1: you know, do it all over again. It's funny you
11:00
Speaker 1: think of the NFL is such a business. Uh And
11:03
Speaker 1: and with these kids, whether it's high school or the juniors,
11:05
Speaker 1: when you're out there and coaching them and you just
11:07
Speaker 1: want for them so badly to come off the field
11:10
Speaker 1: and have that smile for to hear you say it's
11:11
Speaker 1: the same thing. Um, that's interesting. It is it is.
11:14
Speaker 1: I mean you think about you know, our players and
11:17
Speaker 1: their families that are in the stands and they're watching them,
11:19
Speaker 1: that they're they're going through the same thing, whether it
11:21
Speaker 1: you know, it's at the pro level, the college level,
11:25
Speaker 1: the high school level, the pee wee level, and anywhere
11:27
Speaker 1: you go. And I think that you know, it's it's
11:30
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a situation that I really truly
11:32
Speaker 1: believe that if you could handle it the right way,
11:35
Speaker 1: especially at a young age, you know, peewee football, high
11:37
Speaker 1: school football, you know, handle that communication, handle that you know,
11:41
Speaker 1: how do we get through it? Those are things and
11:43
Speaker 1: the lessons that you learn that are going to help
11:44
Speaker 1: you later on in life no matter what you do,
11:46
Speaker 1: whether you play in the NFL or you know, anything
11:48
Speaker 1: that you do in business. And that's why I think
11:50
Speaker 1: it's such a great sport. That's why I hope you
11:51
Speaker 1: handle the adversity tomorrow and I'm not I hope you're
11:54
Speaker 1: congratulating my guy tomorrow out about cheer for b K.
11:58
Speaker 1: I know that, but it's might What do you mean,
12:01
Speaker 1: I mean like you're gonna leave early, like even half time.
12:04
Speaker 1: I just mean I hope tomorrow you're having the conversation
12:07
Speaker 1: with your son about fighting through adversity of losing to
12:09
Speaker 1: b K. That's what I'm saying, talking going on. I
12:16
Speaker 1: don't think so, you know, it's not my rivalry didn't
12:19
Speaker 1: grow up and it's always had a simple with my son.
12:21
Speaker 1: If you don't win, you don't eat. And that got
12:23
Speaker 1: us through a lot that our coaches to do that
12:27
Speaker 1: in practice sometimes when we were in other words, if
12:29
Speaker 1: you if you know, it would be offense first defense,
12:32
Speaker 1: and we'd have these situations in college and you know,
12:34
Speaker 1: if the defense one, they were gonna eat steak and lobster.
12:37
Speaker 1: And if you know the losing you know part of
12:40
Speaker 1: the team, the offensive defense, you know they were gonna
12:42
Speaker 1: eat hot dogs. But for me, I kind of like
12:45
Speaker 1: hot dogs, but I don't like the losing person. Times
12:48
Speaker 1: we would get on the plane when TC was the
12:50
Speaker 1: head coach here and there would be chicken if you
12:52
Speaker 1: didn't win, and if you want it was amazing, there
12:54
Speaker 1: would be steak. I think one of my favorite stories.
12:56
Speaker 1: I was that not so that Georgia Tech and we
12:59
Speaker 1: were playing a duke team at the time, was you know,
13:02
Speaker 1: you know, struggling and working through it, and and we
13:04
Speaker 1: were very good at the time. I think we were
13:06
Speaker 1: ranked in the top twenty. And um, we go in
13:08
Speaker 1: there and we go up. It's like like literally like
13:12
Speaker 1: thirty thirty one nothing at halftime, you know, and then
13:16
Speaker 1: we come out in a second half, we're talking about,
13:18
Speaker 1: you know, when are we going to put it in
13:19
Speaker 1: the other players and play them, and so we start
13:22
Speaker 1: substituting and putting in well, then all of a sudden,
13:24
Speaker 1: we the duke quarterback gets hurt and this other quarterback
13:26
Speaker 1: comes in and he was like Joe Montana, I mean
13:29
Speaker 1: he was. It was unbelievable. I mean he's throwing ball,
13:31
Speaker 1: I mean throwing bombs. They're hitting long story short. At
13:34
Speaker 1: the end of the game, we had to recover an
13:36
Speaker 1: onside kick to win the game. So for me at
13:39
Speaker 1: that time that point in my life, the only thing
13:41
Speaker 1: I always look forward to in college was that when
13:44
Speaker 1: we got on a plane when we won, I look
13:47
Speaker 1: forward to eating a dub bar. Okay, that was my
13:50
Speaker 1: only that was my my enjoyment. At the time, there
13:54
Speaker 1: was which is on the plane right, just I just
13:56
Speaker 1: wanted the dub boar so but when we won that game,
13:59
Speaker 1: it felt like we lost. And then we get on
14:01
Speaker 1: the plane and I'll never forget the stewardess has a
14:04
Speaker 1: tray full of these dub bars and you know, you
14:06
Speaker 1: can start watering at the me. I started watering, and
14:10
Speaker 1: as as as as she's walking down, you know, the
14:13
Speaker 1: head coaches like, no, no dove bars for these guys.
14:16
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh my gosh, We're not getting dove bars.
14:19
Speaker 1: And I'll never forget the feeling when I walked off
14:21
Speaker 1: the plane and I looked down, I looked at this,
14:24
Speaker 1: the whole tray of just melted dub bars. It's probably
14:29
Speaker 1: one of I was down right, I was down Um
14:34
Speaker 1: is the dove bars somewhere? No, no, no, no, we're
14:37
Speaker 1: like ultra nutrition. We don't. We don't have any of
14:39
Speaker 1: that stuff on our plane. Gotten bad bime. I appreciate
14:45
Speaker 1: the game, all right, thank you. Bat'll do it for
14:46
Speaker 1: coffee with the coach. We're back with Big Thinks right

16:41
Speaker 1: Hi to talk. Yeah it's okay, talk now. Dove bars
16:46
Speaker 1: they who knew? I haven't seen a dove bar on
16:50
Speaker 1: the team plane in the Marone era. Yeah, maybe they'll
16:54
Speaker 1: be them there Sunday. Contraditional stuff. It's like sworbet that's
16:58
Speaker 1: not ice cream. It doesn't count. Does it count to you? No?
17:04
Speaker 1: The doud Boar is the one with it. It's just
17:06
Speaker 1: it's chocolate that thick. We might have to do something
17:09
Speaker 1: about that. I'm all health all the time, Ryan, all right,
17:16
Speaker 1: shall we do big things? I didn't mean to interrupt you. Yeah,
17:19
Speaker 1: if you're ready to go, I am ready to right
17:21
Speaker 1: stuff down. Gold do that alright. Big thing one is
17:25
Speaker 1: loading up the additions that we saw this week. Jamal Child,
17:28
Speaker 1: David Williams, David Grinage now both Scarborough on the practice
17:32
Speaker 1: squad they made transactions this week. We saw the problems
17:35
Speaker 1: last week in Kansas City, and they seem to have
17:37
Speaker 1: made efforts to fix them this week. The Charles one
17:40
Speaker 1: is interesting, um, because he has played so many games
17:45
Speaker 1: and this is a position where you should be able
17:48
Speaker 1: to come in and play. The obstacle to that, John
17:50
Speaker 1: would be kenny pass protect Canny be on the field
17:53
Speaker 1: and recognize the protections so that he can help your quarterback.
17:59
Speaker 1: And obviously they think you can. Yeah, there's that, and
18:02
Speaker 1: then I still think the majority of the carries, majority
18:08
Speaker 1: of the snaps are gonna go to t J Yeldon.
18:09
Speaker 1: It's I would think, But again, he's got an ankle.
18:13
Speaker 1: So right, well we all did um, we all have
18:17
Speaker 1: to let me let me rephrase that. He's been dealing
18:20
Speaker 1: with the shore ankle. So the question isn't who's the
18:23
Speaker 1: featured guy this week? It's can this guy come on
18:25
Speaker 1: and help you when you need him? And there were
18:28
Speaker 1: too many points last week, especially in the second half,
18:31
Speaker 1: where an eight Hackett had no options and Brandon Wilde's
18:35
Speaker 1: had given up a blot or get up a second
18:38
Speaker 1: pass protection, so they had nobody to turn to. And
18:42
Speaker 1: I think that more than anything is WHI Jamal Charles
18:44
Speaker 1: is going to give you is when they can't play
18:47
Speaker 1: t J or when they feel like he needs a break.
18:50
Speaker 1: You've got something reliable, somebody that you know can identify
18:54
Speaker 1: a rusher the right way and get out there and
18:58
Speaker 1: block it and give you maybe seven eight carries. If
19:01
Speaker 1: he gets double digit carries, I would be surprised, I
19:05
Speaker 1: guess at thirty one. I'm withholding judgment until I see
19:10
Speaker 1: what he can do. I'm hopeful, but I don't think
19:13
Speaker 1: the team should count on him being a huge spark.
19:16
Speaker 1: If if he can get them through a few weeks,
19:19
Speaker 1: it would be great. So they've added four running backs
19:21
Speaker 1: this week. One of them is gone when they brought
19:22
Speaker 1: Scarborough and Flowers went away Dmitri Flowers. Um. And now
19:27
Speaker 1: they also brought a tight end up Grinage to replace
19:30
Speaker 1: Austin Seferian Jenkins. That's kind of been lost in the
19:34
Speaker 1: uh in mix this week about it, well, um, because
19:38
Speaker 1: he's been around here. But the loss of Austin Seferian
19:41
Speaker 1: Jenkins will be felt. Um. It never got started like
19:45
Speaker 1: we thought it would, you know, kind of like four net.
19:46
Speaker 1: We expected this offense to run through four net and
19:49
Speaker 1: we expected to see a huge impact from Seferian Jenkins
19:51
Speaker 1: in moving the chains, you know, take over. Maybe that
19:53
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson rolled through down and eight. He was going
19:55
Speaker 1: to be the guy that the go to guy. Um.
19:58
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, you don't have either one
19:59
Speaker 1: of those guys and you're trying to figure out who
20:01
Speaker 1: what we're when? Why now? Yeahs Ferrin Jenkins didn't happen.
20:06
Speaker 1: In terms of his effective as a receiver. There were
20:12
Speaker 1: times where he blocked very well. I don't know how
20:15
Speaker 1: well he was able to block in the last couple
20:17
Speaker 1: of games simply because of the injury. Uh, Grintage is
20:20
Speaker 1: being brought up primarily because they need somebody to inline block.
20:24
Speaker 1: He's a big cat now, he's six six and all
20:26
Speaker 1: of two seven, right, so that would figure to be
20:29
Speaker 1: his role. The question is what does he bring. You know,
20:33
Speaker 1: we don't know until he does it. But O'Shaughnessy and
20:35
Speaker 1: Paul are not going to have that role. Uh, they
20:38
Speaker 1: can do it a little bit, but you're not going
20:40
Speaker 1: to depend on them for the running game. Uh. It's
20:44
Speaker 1: really interesting to see what this offense is going to be.
20:48
Speaker 1: When Blake was talking about this week, I thought he
20:50
Speaker 1: was interesting. We were all talking about identity and how
20:53
Speaker 1: the identity of this team is a run first, run team. Well,
20:56
Speaker 1: when they've been good this year, that hasn't been the identity.
20:59
Speaker 1: Against the Ets and against the against the Patriots, they threw.
21:04
Speaker 1: I think for the next couple of weeks, when they
21:06
Speaker 1: make big plays, they're gonna need to throw, and they're
21:08
Speaker 1: not going to be a power running team as it's
21:11
Speaker 1: currently constructed. Nate Hackett said it yesterday because I asked
21:14
Speaker 1: him about the very question about personalities. So our personality
21:18
Speaker 1: shifts to wherever it has to. However, this is more
21:22
Speaker 1: to the quarterback and that you don't want him throwing
21:24
Speaker 1: forty five times a game. You'd like the running game
21:27
Speaker 1: and the play action threat to be able to set
21:29
Speaker 1: him up to throw between thirty five times a game. Yeah,
21:32
Speaker 1: you'd like it. That's and that's really the personality of
21:35
Speaker 1: this team, because it also plays into the defense and
21:39
Speaker 1: keeps that defense fresh. That's kind of the way it
21:41
Speaker 1: all rolled together. I don't I don't know that this
21:45
Speaker 1: team can be a power running team without Leonard. It
21:49
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who you bring in here for that. But
21:52
Speaker 1: even with Leonard, it's just the threat of it more
21:53
Speaker 1: than anything else, Craig, You've got to establish the threat
21:56
Speaker 1: of the run, and I see that being the running
21:59
Speaker 1: game for the new a couple of weeks is let's run.
22:02
Speaker 1: Let's figure out a way to get enough going where
22:05
Speaker 1: teams have to pay attention to it so that we
22:07
Speaker 1: can pass effectively and you know, frankly scrape out enough
22:11
Speaker 1: points to win. I don't know that we're gonna see
22:13
Speaker 1: thirty point efforts at the same time. Would it shock you?
22:17
Speaker 1: This is I mean, they seem to put up a
22:20
Speaker 1: thirty point effort on all the weeks that we're sitting
22:24
Speaker 1: here talking about how they can't score and to get
22:27
Speaker 1: the offensive line healthy, and that's I mean, that really
22:29
Speaker 1: is the underscore of this whole thing. They're bagged up,
22:32
Speaker 1: they're beat up, I get it. Some of the guys
22:33
Speaker 1: are off the injured report. However, you've got Josh Walker
22:37
Speaker 1: playing left tackle and do we know what that is?
22:40
Speaker 1: Have we seen enough to watch? Right? Apparently they like
22:44
Speaker 1: him because he came back this season and he has
22:47
Speaker 1: been around the block with some different guys, but this
22:50
Speaker 1: is his first start at tackle and you can expect
22:53
Speaker 1: and Marcus Lawrence, depending on how healthy he is, to
22:56
Speaker 1: be lined up over Josh Walker, and it's not like
22:58
Speaker 1: you have Austin Sefury and Jenkins or more. Stardi's lewis
23:02
Speaker 1: that you can set out there and say, okay, you
23:03
Speaker 1: take him out of the game, she will be missed.
23:06
Speaker 1: That's for sure. All right, It's a pickle. It's adversity,
23:10
Speaker 1: all right. Big thing too is locking down. So we
23:12
Speaker 1: mentioned how we thought the defense didn't have a bad
23:15
Speaker 1: day against the Kansas City Chiefs, but they didn't play
23:17
Speaker 1: to their elite standards. My favorite part yesterday of Jalen
23:20
Speaker 1: Ramsey's press conference was when he was asked about Tyree
23:23
Speaker 1: killany ad minute, He's like, yeah, I was tired chasing
23:25
Speaker 1: him around. It was a tough day for me to
23:28
Speaker 1: admit that, and to see I think the defense comes
23:30
Speaker 1: back out with elite standards this week. Yeah. I thought
23:33
Speaker 1: Jalen's was interesting as well. His comments and then he
23:37
Speaker 1: also went back and talked about how he had run
23:38
Speaker 1: more against oh b J in the opener than he
23:42
Speaker 1: ever had. Um. I didn't get the idea that he
23:45
Speaker 1: was jail and complained about it. I thought it was
23:47
Speaker 1: it was sort of just jail and being jail, and
23:49
Speaker 1: I was saying yeah, it's hard. I think there was
23:53
Speaker 1: also a tone of it doesn't matter it's hard, I
23:56
Speaker 1: can still do it. I mean it's not like he
23:57
Speaker 1: was saying. It was like a track meet. I love
24:00
Speaker 1: try right, So, uh, yeah, it's gonna be hard. But
24:04
Speaker 1: he's still played well, He's still you know all that stuff. Um,
24:09
Speaker 1: the defense. There are times where teams go through this
24:14
Speaker 1: kind of a thing with offensive injuries. Uh. The good
24:18
Speaker 1: news for the offenses for it's not down for the season.
24:22
Speaker 1: Sparry and Jenkins is down for a long time, and
24:23
Speaker 1: not down for the season. You can still get wells back.
24:27
Speaker 1: Not all these guys are on I R and gone.
24:30
Speaker 1: You would think there is a way to over a
24:33
Speaker 1: couple of weeks if they can stay healthy offensively now
24:35
Speaker 1: to figure out what they are it's up to the
24:37
Speaker 1: defense to sort of bridge this gap when two of
24:41
Speaker 1: three here in October, keep yourself alive. Uh, this is
24:46
Speaker 1: what good teams do. And remember this is how this
24:49
Speaker 1: team is built. You haven't lost the strength of your team.
24:52
Speaker 1: They're supposed to get you through these next years. And
24:55
Speaker 1: Joe and I were talking to Dave cald Well this
24:57
Speaker 1: morning and I brought up the defense. I said, you
24:59
Speaker 1: know it. Thankfully your defense is stayed healthy. Stud stop
25:02
Speaker 1: right there. We don't talk about that, stop right there.
25:06
Speaker 1: But thankfully for the Jaguars, the defense is remarkably attact.
25:10
Speaker 1: Now this is what you are. He pointed out that
25:12
Speaker 1: it has not been beneficial to not have d J.
25:14
Speaker 1: Hayden because he was playing very well. But it appears,
25:18
Speaker 1: you know, that toe is not necessarily it didn't getting
25:21
Speaker 1: better enough fast enough for him to get back on
25:22
Speaker 1: the field anytime this week. But again, you know it's
25:28
Speaker 1: he's not gone. You'll have him back at some point.
25:30
Speaker 1: You'll have him back. And they've played pretty well even
25:34
Speaker 1: without him. You're supposed to. They can withstand DJ Hayte
25:39
Speaker 1: and the defense should be able to lock down the Cowboys.
25:42
Speaker 1: I get it, Ezekiela. It's going to get his yards.
25:44
Speaker 1: I mean, he is a sensational back. Lead to the
25:46
Speaker 1: National Football League. It's kind of like like Morris Jones
25:49
Speaker 1: drew in two thousand and eleven. Here worse passing attack
25:52
Speaker 1: in football, and he led the league with six six
25:54
Speaker 1: yards that year. He and Lashawn McCoy went back and
25:56
Speaker 1: fourth week to week. It was remarkable because you thought
25:59
Speaker 1: they're stacking the ball he's still getting yards. Same thing.
26:01
Speaker 1: You stack the box on this guy, He's still going
26:03
Speaker 1: to get his yards. But really, uh, Witton's gone, Bryant's gone.
26:08
Speaker 1: I mean, the the big play threats that they've had
26:09
Speaker 1: in the past aren't big play threats any longer. This
26:12
Speaker 1: should be a one dimensional offense, absolutely, and the defense
26:15
Speaker 1: should be able to lock it down. I think you're
26:17
Speaker 1: gonna hold your breath for the next couple of games. Uh.
26:21
Speaker 1: At some point during the seasons, as Doug said, most
26:25
Speaker 1: NFL seasons aren't like last season where you sort of
26:29
Speaker 1: not face very much. Other they face more than he
26:31
Speaker 1: sort of gave him credit for last year. But still
26:34
Speaker 1: you're gonna face these kind of things. Seasons are defined
26:38
Speaker 1: by how you get through periods like this, even with
26:42
Speaker 1: the injury. I think we think we all think these
26:44
Speaker 1: next two games are ones they ought to win. Well,
26:46
Speaker 1: you gotta go win him, prove that, and then get
26:50
Speaker 1: back to where you get the offense back to a
26:53
Speaker 1: little bit of once you can rEFInd your identity during
26:57
Speaker 1: the season, that's what this month is about. So refresh
26:59
Speaker 1: my memory if if I have this wrong. But in
27:01
Speaker 1: two thousand six, when the Colts came in here and
27:03
Speaker 1: the Jaguars ran for what they run for three? They
27:06
Speaker 1: ran over around through them and and I've had this conversation.
27:10
Speaker 1: I told you that I thought they were done right.
27:12
Speaker 1: No matter how good Manning was, I thought that defense
27:14
Speaker 1: is gonna have to play better. I went to Tony
27:15
Speaker 1: Dungee's news conference afterwards. He said, it's just adversity. We
27:19
Speaker 1: can fix it. I know what it is. We can
27:21
Speaker 1: fix it. Did it feel like adversity for that team
27:23
Speaker 1: at that moment? Yeah, I feel like it was. I mean,
27:25
Speaker 1: I mean that day, But did it feel did it
27:27
Speaker 1: feel that week after, like, oh where is this thing headed?
27:31
Speaker 1: And have you ever covered a team that's made a
27:33
Speaker 1: run deep in the playoffs that didn't have adversity? Yeah?
27:37
Speaker 1: I mean there were Colts teams I covered that we're
27:39
Speaker 1: fourteen and oh h that I really didn't have much
27:44
Speaker 1: adversity like this. They all face injuries. Uh. That year,
27:48
Speaker 1: the colstest didn't just lose that game, They lost I
27:52
Speaker 1: believe their last four road games. If if I memory Sarch.
27:55
Speaker 1: They started off seven and finished twelve and four and
27:59
Speaker 1: lost all three of their division road games in December,
28:02
Speaker 1: So nobody thought they were doing with the day. They
28:05
Speaker 1: got one guy back. They got Bob Sanders and Rob
28:06
Speaker 1: Morris back. But um, you deal with adversity. This is
28:12
Speaker 1: a different thing than that because it it's it's defensive dependent. Um.
28:18
Speaker 1: But that team again, it refound an identity, the big
28:24
Speaker 1: cliche that everybody forgets, but the coaches talk because it's true.
28:29
Speaker 1: Teams changed during seasons. Right now, we don't know what
28:33
Speaker 1: the Jaguars offense is going to be. Um, if it
28:36
Speaker 1: stays what it was last week, which is error prone
28:40
Speaker 1: and not really able to depend on the run, then
28:42
Speaker 1: it's not be very good. They have to rEFInd what
28:45
Speaker 1: they are in through the course of what I think.
28:49
Speaker 1: You're going to be a couple of breath holding games.
28:51
Speaker 1: Big week for Nathaniel Hackett, that's for sure, all right,
28:54
Speaker 1: Big thing three is a bigger game. So we were
28:57
Speaker 1: looking at the schedule at the beginning of the season,
28:59
Speaker 1: we all thought that the was a big game and
29:00
Speaker 1: it was an important one. But now after losing in
29:02
Speaker 1: a Kansas City, this all of a sudden makes this
29:04
Speaker 1: game very, very important. You heard Blake Bortles talk this
29:07
Speaker 1: week about the importance of these next three weeks, and
29:10
Speaker 1: that's rare for him to look forward like that and
29:12
Speaker 1: to mention, no, hey, this week is important, but also
29:15
Speaker 1: this entire month is important now well. And as Brian
29:17
Speaker 1: broad has said yesterday on the show that the Cowboys insider, um,
29:21
Speaker 1: they're all big. I mean, when you were across the
29:22
Speaker 1: halland you only have sixteen of them, every one of
29:24
Speaker 1: them is big. And I'll point out, as I did
29:27
Speaker 1: yesterday when we were talking, um, if you lose this one,
29:30
Speaker 1: you're three and three. You were three and three last year.
29:32
Speaker 1: But I get why this feels like a big game
29:34
Speaker 1: because you're coming off a really awful game and you
29:36
Speaker 1: don't want to come home against the Houston team that
29:38
Speaker 1: all of a sudden seems to have found its defense.
29:40
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a game for the Jaguars to
29:42
Speaker 1: get there, to rediscover their offense to a point that
29:46
Speaker 1: they can be functional and successful the next couple of
29:50
Speaker 1: weeks against good teams. This month isn't easy. I think
29:53
Speaker 1: that's the bigger point Brian, which he said, refining its offense,
29:58
Speaker 1: figuring out what it's going to be. Um, there's this
30:01
Speaker 1: feeling and we're only two weeks removed from the having
30:05
Speaker 1: five hundred yards and thirty one points against the Jets.
30:09
Speaker 1: And yet well, yeah, in every question Arey analysis, there's
30:14
Speaker 1: this thing of, well the Jaguars offense isn't playing well lately. Well,
30:18
Speaker 1: it's one game and they had four hundred or five
30:21
Speaker 1: hundred yards in that game with a bunch of turnovers. Um,
30:25
Speaker 1: So they can do it. It's gonna be fascinating to
30:29
Speaker 1: see if they can do it in a in a
30:32
Speaker 1: productive way to get this team going in the right
30:35
Speaker 1: track and to reduce the turnovers. I kind of think
30:38
Speaker 1: they will. But what's gonna be fascinating is they've lost
30:42
Speaker 1: their uh, the thing that they used to be able
30:45
Speaker 1: to depend on. Meaning you always thought if things are bad,
30:48
Speaker 1: they just turn around hand the ball off. That was
30:50
Speaker 1: last year. That's not what it is. So so can
30:53
Speaker 1: you find something else to become your identity. We'll see,
30:57
Speaker 1: We'll see what turnovers those are the big things. Minus
31:01
Speaker 1: six the last two weeks, and the fact that they're
31:03
Speaker 1: one and one is remarkable. I mean, you just you
31:06
Speaker 1: don't win when your minus three, and they did beat
31:08
Speaker 1: the Jets, and you don't win when your minus three
31:11
Speaker 1: and they didn't against the Chiefs. Well key there against
31:14
Speaker 1: the Jets. Memory they were leading when they started turning
31:17
Speaker 1: the ball out totally. There has been in the first
31:19
Speaker 1: half they had been in real trouble, so time is
31:21
Speaker 1: a little bit. But this team is not built to win.
31:25
Speaker 1: If it's minus seven turnover margin, all right, take a break,
31:29
Speaker 1: come back. He will, he won't, he might is next

33:20
Speaker 1: back on a Friday. Friday is a good day around
33:23
Speaker 1: in NFL franchise. Highly recommend if you ever worked for
33:27
Speaker 1: one to enjoy Fridays. They are good ones. I don't
33:33
Speaker 1: like him that much. Why because he's a contrarian. You
33:36
Speaker 1: didn't know that about him or you just figured that
33:37
Speaker 1: one out. I'm just now figuring him out all right.
33:40
Speaker 1: Time for he will, he won't, he might. We'll start
33:41
Speaker 1: with you, John, who you got and give us the
33:44
Speaker 1: details I have Blake port Um and he will be
33:50
Speaker 1: under you know, and I always getting tired of saying it,
33:54
Speaker 1: but he will be under an enormous amount of scrutiny
33:56
Speaker 1: and always under pressure, as he always is. Um And
34:00
Speaker 1: as Nate Hackett said, and as we've all said, I
34:03
Speaker 1: don't worry about him handling that part of it. He
34:08
Speaker 1: is almost immune to the noise. And that serves him
34:13
Speaker 1: well in this and it's gonna need to serve him well.
34:16
Speaker 1: He might not ever be consistent. And that's something that
34:20
Speaker 1: I've sort of settled on this week. All the questions,
34:24
Speaker 1: what's wrong with the Blake? What's he going to be?
34:26
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be this. I think he's gonna
34:27
Speaker 1: be what we're seeing. And it's gonna be three or
34:30
Speaker 1: four games a season that are conkers. And I think
34:34
Speaker 1: that's especially true if he's getting pressured the way he
34:38
Speaker 1: did last week. The pressure caused enormous problems for him
34:42
Speaker 1: early and they never really recovered from it. Um. You
34:45
Speaker 1: would like him to get past that I feel like
34:47
Speaker 1: he's gotten better at that and it was extreme last week.
34:50
Speaker 1: Was why had heard him so much? Uh, he might
34:53
Speaker 1: have a huge game this week and that may be
34:57
Speaker 1: a little hope, but his Yeah, and he hasn't done
35:02
Speaker 1: it on the road as much as he has at home. Uh,
35:05
Speaker 1: that's the one outlier here. You hope he can turn
35:08
Speaker 1: around him because they really need him. Uh. This might
35:12
Speaker 1: be one of his biggest tests on that front because
35:15
Speaker 1: it's the first time since they've been good, meaning the
35:19
Speaker 1: beginning of last year, that they've come in truly needing
35:24
Speaker 1: him to play well. Sometimes we've had a storyline that
35:26
Speaker 1: he needs to play well, but there's been other things
35:31
Speaker 1: to help him offensively where he could sort of depend
35:33
Speaker 1: on that he needs to play well. This might be
35:35
Speaker 1: one of his biggest games. Um. I just have a
35:39
Speaker 1: feeling he's going to play well. Maybe that's blind faith.
35:42
Speaker 1: Blind faith. Blind blind Faith was a banned in the
35:46
Speaker 1: late sixties with Eric Clapton. No idea, he's full of lessons,
35:51
Speaker 1: blind rabbits restaurants somewhere here in town. Yes, good restaurant.
35:56
Speaker 1: Sure he will. He won't be my is Andrew Norwell.
35:59
Speaker 1: I think he will play We saw him in the
36:01
Speaker 1: locker room earlier this week. He told us that he
36:03
Speaker 1: will practice on Thursday, and he seemed rather excited to
36:06
Speaker 1: get back on the field. I think he plays, and
36:07
Speaker 1: I think he plays well and gets this offensive line
36:10
Speaker 1: back to where it needs to be. He won't be penalized.
36:12
Speaker 1: We saw earlier in the season when he got the
36:14
Speaker 1: penalty that brought back the touchdown. I think he learned
36:16
Speaker 1: from that. I think he's going to try to avoid
36:18
Speaker 1: those as the Giants at all costs. He might be
36:21
Speaker 1: a key part of this offense finding their identity. Yet again,
36:24
Speaker 1: he is the staple of that offensive line. We solve
36:27
Speaker 1: the improvements they made when he was brought in. I
36:29
Speaker 1: think he takes credit on himself to bring that offensive
36:31
Speaker 1: line back to where it needs to be. We haven't
36:34
Speaker 1: really seen a healthy and more well this year. Uh refreshment,
36:38
Speaker 1: it was a calf. It was calf. He was calf
36:41
Speaker 1: for quad. I'm trying to remember he missed a lot
36:43
Speaker 1: of practice down and then obviously now he's got the
36:46
Speaker 1: foot that he's dealing with. So uh he no doubt
36:50
Speaker 1: he's got tremendous football player. We just haven't had a
36:52
Speaker 1: chance to see him. And truthfully, if you have a
36:55
Speaker 1: foot and you're wearing the boot two days and then
36:57
Speaker 1: you know, practicing on Friday and trying to play, I
36:59
Speaker 1: don't know that we'll see a completely healthy Andrew Norwell
37:03
Speaker 1: this year full potential. I guesses will. You don't have
37:07
Speaker 1: a chance to see it after the bye Um. But
37:09
Speaker 1: I think your point, Brian, is one that needs to
37:11
Speaker 1: be remembered. You're starting to get some feedback from vandoh, oh, well,
37:17
Speaker 1: what's this guy really brought? What's the Well? First of all,
37:19
Speaker 1: it's hard to tell what a guard has brought when
37:22
Speaker 1: everybody's injury on the offensive line. Um, he does strike me,
37:26
Speaker 1: and I've seen it a lot before. A free agent
37:29
Speaker 1: comes in a lot of expectations at a position that's
37:32
Speaker 1: hard to define. Uh, and he comes in hurt. Um.
37:36
Speaker 1: I think we've got to wait until he's completely healthy
37:39
Speaker 1: or more healthy to judge the signing. I still think
37:43
Speaker 1: this is going to wind up being a positive spot
37:45
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. Okay, I will go with Telvin Smith
37:49
Speaker 1: as my he will he won't he Mite of the Week. Uh,
37:53
Speaker 1: he will have his work cut out for him on Sunday. Um,
37:57
Speaker 1: that's one of the best offensive lines. It may not
37:59
Speaker 1: be playing as well as it has in recent years
38:01
Speaker 1: like it did in sixteen, but they are very talented
38:05
Speaker 1: and they have a way of getting out to the
38:06
Speaker 1: second level and getting in linebackers faces. He's a two
38:10
Speaker 1: d and fifteen to two and twenty pound linebacker against
38:13
Speaker 1: a big offensive line, his speed is going to have
38:16
Speaker 1: to be on display. So he will have a track
38:19
Speaker 1: meet kind of like Jalen Ramsey talked about yesterday. He
38:23
Speaker 1: will be running all over the place. He won't let
38:26
Speaker 1: his team down. I think you'll see this guy have
38:28
Speaker 1: fifteen tackles on Sunday. You know, he was he was
38:33
Speaker 1: now he was. He was laughing and having fun the
38:35
Speaker 1: week of Kansas City and and this week when he
38:37
Speaker 1: talked to the press, he was he was more dialed in,
38:40
Speaker 1: he was more subdued. Uh, and I think he realizes
38:43
Speaker 1: that this week is his week. It's a linebacker week. Um.
38:46
Speaker 1: We talked to Brian broad Us yesterday from the Cowboys. Uh,
38:49
Speaker 1: he's sort of their insider. Watching the tape, he said, Look,
38:51
Speaker 1: one of the things that Cowboys are going to take
38:53
Speaker 1: advantage of is the opportunities that over aggressive linebackers will
38:57
Speaker 1: give Ezekiel Elliott, guys who will go too far. He's
38:59
Speaker 1: a cut back runner. I don't think he'll make that mistake.
39:02
Speaker 1: He won't let his team down this week. He'll be
39:04
Speaker 1: ready for that. He might be the guy who scores
39:07
Speaker 1: the first defensive touchdown since opening day. He might be
39:10
Speaker 1: that guy that sparks this team. He's got the capability.
39:13
Speaker 1: Scored two last year. He might get a defensive touchdown
39:16
Speaker 1: which gives the Jaguars an early lead and then allows
39:18
Speaker 1: them to play. I don't want to say more conservatively,
39:21
Speaker 1: but with with a lower heart rate, right, lower heartbeat,
39:25
Speaker 1: not so breathlessly as they had to last year, trying
39:28
Speaker 1: to keep up last year, last week, trying to keep
39:30
Speaker 1: up with the Chiefs and can City. That was a
39:32
Speaker 1: good one. I think. I'm not wouldn't be surprised if
39:34
Speaker 1: Telvin Smith brought a touchdown this week. He's bringing intensity
39:38
Speaker 1: every week. You would be surprised if he just told you, well, yeah,
39:40
Speaker 1: but he's been playing well, that's why he listened to sex.
39:44
Speaker 1: That's one reason. That's one I don't. I can give
39:46
Speaker 1: you a lot of reasons not to also. Okay, so
39:49
Speaker 1: that's he will he won't. He might will pay that
39:50
Speaker 1: off for you on Monday when we recap it. Time
39:53
Speaker 1: for pick one, then pick it. This is where we
39:55
Speaker 1: choose a game that we're interested in, give you a
39:58
Speaker 1: little detail, and then pick it. And we'll start with
40:01
Speaker 1: John Um. Well, you wouldn't have thought this one before
40:06
Speaker 1: the season, would you know? But when I looked at
40:09
Speaker 1: this late of games, there's three that are really interesting,
40:13
Speaker 1: but this one, all of a sudden, feels like one
40:17
Speaker 1: where you're I look at the Browns and I think
40:22
Speaker 1: they seem a little like the Jags did last year,
40:27
Speaker 1: have stumbled a little bit early. But now of a sudden,
40:29
Speaker 1: I think there're two two and one if they win this,
40:32
Speaker 1: aren't we sitting here talking about them differently? Next week
40:35
Speaker 1: there's three two and one. They beat in the Chargers.
40:37
Speaker 1: Now the Chargers are are that team they can throw
40:41
Speaker 1: in a clonker. So if the Browns win, it might
40:45
Speaker 1: be that. Uh, But it feels like whichever team wins,
40:50
Speaker 1: this is the team that's gonna have a shot to
40:53
Speaker 1: sort of get on a run and at least get
40:55
Speaker 1: into the wild card. And I know we're way early
40:57
Speaker 1: on that, and in two weeks off forgotten I said that,
41:00
Speaker 1: but I won't. Now you won't. I'm gonna go with
41:05
Speaker 1: the Browns and if if they do win, all of
41:09
Speaker 1: a sudden, they become the sexy story of the early season.
41:12
Speaker 1: You know, they're a talented team. We saw that last year.
41:15
Speaker 1: Are they ready for this though, That's gonna be the question.
41:17
Speaker 1: They ready to have this step And by talent, I
41:19
Speaker 1: mean oh and sixteen I get it. The quarterback was
41:22
Speaker 1: a major problem last year, but you could see the
41:24
Speaker 1: talent on the defensive side they league. They leave the
41:27
Speaker 1: league with fifteen takeaways. They've got a ground game with
41:30
Speaker 1: with Nick Chubb and Baker Mayfield doesn't have to carry
41:33
Speaker 1: the load because they've got some weapons. I mean, going
41:36
Speaker 1: out and getting Jarvis Landry was a worthwhile investment for them.
41:39
Speaker 1: I'll go with the Browns as well. Although the one
41:42
Speaker 1: thing on this is Philip Rivers has a history of
41:46
Speaker 1: traveling and playing well. Played well here, played well in
41:48
Speaker 1: New England, played well in New York a couple of
41:50
Speaker 1: years ago. Um, I still think he's got something left.
41:54
Speaker 1: But this Browns team has something they haven't had in years,
41:56
Speaker 1: and that is confidence, a little momentum. So with the
41:58
Speaker 1: Browns two, I go at the Browns as well. Because
42:00
Speaker 1: of that momentum. I see them on a roll. I
42:02
Speaker 1: don't think the role stops and they just have so
42:04
Speaker 1: much talent. I do agree with you, John that I
42:06
Speaker 1: think this is the team this year that has that
42:08
Speaker 1: sexy season and gets into the wild Card. It's it's
42:11
Speaker 1: their time. Can you say sexy about a team that
42:13
Speaker 1: wears brown though in orange? Oh? If the Browns get hot,
42:19
Speaker 1: they'll be the lovable story this year. Absolutely yea. Give
42:24
Speaker 1: us one pick a game and then let's pick it.
42:25
Speaker 1: Kansas City at New England. This is a huge, huge game,
42:30
Speaker 1: home field, Foxborough, New England. That's I think the key here.
42:33
Speaker 1: The Paths have outscored the Dolphins and colt S to
42:36
Speaker 1: thirty one. They seem to have found their rhythm, have
42:38
Speaker 1: found their momentum. We saw how good Kansas City was
42:41
Speaker 1: last week, though, but I think the home field advantage
42:43
Speaker 1: is something to be told here. I think New England
42:46
Speaker 1: gets them this week rolls um only because of this. Uh,
42:53
Speaker 1: there is the factor. It's very hard to start and
42:56
Speaker 1: keep your undefeated streak in the NFL usually catches up
42:59
Speaker 1: with you. Kansas City is one of the few teams
43:02
Speaker 1: with Andy Reid's coach because of their experience, they don't
43:05
Speaker 1: care that they're going to Foxborough. There's not very many
43:08
Speaker 1: teams who don't get intimidated by that situation. Uh if if,
43:14
Speaker 1: if there is a franchise, they can go up there
43:16
Speaker 1: and win in this situation and sort of feel like
43:19
Speaker 1: they did it routinely Kansas City's want of I think
43:21
Speaker 1: they went well. They thrashed them there last year in
43:24
Speaker 1: route to a five and oh start uh, and then
43:26
Speaker 1: they lost six of the next nine. I think I'm
43:29
Speaker 1: gonna go with New England in this one because I
43:31
Speaker 1: think Tom Brady finally has some things to work with
43:34
Speaker 1: with Edelman back and with Gronkowski back, and I think
43:36
Speaker 1: Kansas City as good as they are, I just I
43:41
Speaker 1: don't see them continuing undefeated. Uh. And I think Belichick's
43:44
Speaker 1: got something for him at home, So I'll go with
43:46
Speaker 1: the Patriots as well. Um my game is the Ravens
43:49
Speaker 1: at the Titans. I mean, here are two teams the
43:51
Speaker 1: Jaguars will be competing with all season long in terms
43:55
Speaker 1: of you know, common opponents, a f C record. The
43:58
Speaker 1: Ravens have played so well on defense. Now they talked
44:01
Speaker 1: about a clunker nine to six. They lost last week, Uh,
44:05
Speaker 1: to the Cleveland Browns. Tennessee we know is capable of
44:08
Speaker 1: that nine six ball game. I really I don't know
44:11
Speaker 1: where to go with this one. Flacco is playing better
44:13
Speaker 1: this year than he did last year. Mariota isn't necessarily
44:16
Speaker 1: playing better. Neither team has established themselves into that groove yet.
44:21
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with the Ravens to hand the
44:24
Speaker 1: Titans their second straight loss because I just think that
44:27
Speaker 1: Flacco and their offensive line has more than the Titans
44:31
Speaker 1: have right now. Yeah, I think this is a low
44:33
Speaker 1: scoring game. I don't think it'd be rather exciting, but
44:36
Speaker 1: I think I'm going with the Ravens here as well. Uh,
44:39
Speaker 1: Carson Tinker has been placed on injured reserve. By the way,
44:42
Speaker 1: Matt Overton signed. Okay, there's just another personnel move this. Yeah,
44:46
Speaker 1: and uh so I just said I thought we passed
44:49
Speaker 1: it along. You can get that on your phone now, Huh.
44:51
Speaker 1: It's awesome. You've got you get emails updates. There's also
44:55
Speaker 1: these new things called apps' I'm going for to checking
44:57
Speaker 1: those out. Uh, we're talking Ravens and Titans. I think, um,
45:05
Speaker 1: this feels like a season where the Titans are gonna
45:09
Speaker 1: win more of these games than they lose. The ones
45:12
Speaker 1: where Jaguars fans sort of circle it and say, hey,
45:15
Speaker 1: this might be one where somebody gets them. Uh. I
45:19
Speaker 1: just think they're gonna squeeze out enough of these to
45:22
Speaker 1: be a threat all of seasons. So I think they
45:23
Speaker 1: squeeze out this. Okay, So there's picked one and pick it.
45:26
Speaker 1: When we return, we go to Fantasy Life with Mike Dempsey.
45:30
Speaker 1: A little Fantasy football here to round out a Friday

47:33
Speaker 1: off Ryan John Ashlyn and Mike Dempsey who every every
47:39
Speaker 1: week now joins us for fantasy. But he will he won't.
47:42
Speaker 1: He mind as well give it to us. I didn't
47:44
Speaker 1: hear yours. So if I steal anybody's, I'll try to
47:47
Speaker 1: do it better. Okay, I'm gonna do Marcel Darius No,
47:50
Speaker 1: all right, Marcel Darius will be the key to stop
47:53
Speaker 1: in the Cowboys offense because the Cowboys offense is Ezekiel Elliott,
47:57
Speaker 1: and he's the key to the Jaguars run defense in
47:59
Speaker 1: my opinion, and so he will be the key there.
48:02
Speaker 1: He won't give up on a play. If you saw
48:05
Speaker 1: him run down Kareem Hunt, you know exactly what I'm
48:07
Speaker 1: talking about. Down the field. It was pretty impressive all
48:11
Speaker 1: right there. And he might be the fastest big man
48:13
Speaker 1: in the not the only play we've seen him do that, No,
48:16
Speaker 1: but that was that was But laterally he gets but
48:21
Speaker 1: did not. I mean, most guys guys ten fifteen yards
48:24
Speaker 1: passed you down the field, You're never gonna catch up
48:26
Speaker 1: to him. But you know, and that was Tyreek Hill,
48:28
Speaker 1: that it was his hill. It was so to see
48:32
Speaker 1: the speed that he used to catch up with that guy.
48:34
Speaker 1: And then and then he had something extra for him
48:38
Speaker 1: when he let him know, which even if Tyreek's jogging,
48:42
Speaker 1: that's impressive. Yeah, Yeah, that's that's the thing. You know.
48:46
Speaker 1: You gotta have somebody slow up Tyreek Hill at some
48:48
Speaker 1: point for you to be able to make that play.
48:50
Speaker 1: But a lot of guys would just give up and
48:52
Speaker 1: not assume that that's going to happen. So it's nice
48:54
Speaker 1: to see, right, Okay, here we go. Here we go.
48:57
Speaker 1: Last week, Brian, Yeah, top honors with sixty points. Nice job.
49:03
Speaker 1: That's a bad week six. It was a down fantasy
49:07
Speaker 1: week overall. It really wasn't a high scoreing week, which
49:09
Speaker 1: is amazing. All the stories have been this week about
49:11
Speaker 1: how much more offense there is this year than in
49:13
Speaker 1: the last five. Sometimes you get those weeks though we're
49:16
Speaker 1: kind of off schedule. Players make the big plays. You
49:20
Speaker 1: had Antonio Brown lead the way with you for twenty
49:22
Speaker 1: eight points. Let's see fifty eight points last week. Ashland
49:26
Speaker 1: with forty six and John with forty four. But overall,
49:30
Speaker 1: Brian maintains the top pick right now because he's still
49:33
Speaker 1: trailing with two ninety. John's got three thirteen, Ashland with
49:36
Speaker 1: three twenty three, and I've got four oh one to
49:39
Speaker 1: this point, I was surprised. I scored it all as
49:41
Speaker 1: bad as my four picks were Fris Vance McDonald. After
49:46
Speaker 1: I praised your pick of Vance McDonald, I was there
49:49
Speaker 1: for after the fact, Brian, you lead us off this week,
49:54
Speaker 1: I'm coming for you. Oh, just so you know, I'm
49:56
Speaker 1: gonna go with Sony Michelle. Okay, Sunday night foot Sunday night. Fo.
50:00
Speaker 1: But I don't think the Chief's run defense is all
50:02
Speaker 1: that much better than it was the last couple of weeks,
50:04
Speaker 1: So I'll go with him like it brought our John.
50:06
Speaker 1: You're up next. When I looked on here, I actually
50:08
Speaker 1: had two Giants players on here, So I'm assuming I
50:12
Speaker 1: can't do that to take one anyway. Yeah, I want Barkley, Um,
50:21
Speaker 1: trust me, Tony Boselli will try that on Sunday. How
50:23
Speaker 1: does he do that? Okay, I'm gonna take Travis Kelsey
50:27
Speaker 1: versus doing Travis. Okay, Ashland, I'm gonna take Matt Ryan.
50:33
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. I should have reminded folks we we do
50:36
Speaker 1: a quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end, and
50:38
Speaker 1: you can only use each player once all season long,
50:41
Speaker 1: and once they're taking today nobody else can use them.
50:44
Speaker 1: I will take Matt Ryan's hopefully favorite receiver this week.
50:47
Speaker 1: Julio Jones going big, Well, I am gonna go this week.
50:52
Speaker 1: There are a lot of good quarterbacks. I'm gonna wait
50:54
Speaker 1: on the quarterback position. Sony Michelle was actually my number
50:57
Speaker 1: two running back on my list. That makes me feel good,
51:00
Speaker 1: you know, um yeah, he went advanced McDonald's. You know
51:04
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna take mine. I'm gonna go real
51:06
Speaker 1: big this week. I'm gonna go to Todd Gurley along
51:08
Speaker 1: with Juleio Jones, So back to Ashland. It's got Matt Ryan.
51:12
Speaker 1: I'm going t J Yeldon, all right, t J, I
51:15
Speaker 1: get versus the Cowboys. Obviously, John, I'm going with Marshawn Lynch.
51:26
Speaker 1: You got it. Brian, You've got Sony Michelle. You get
51:29
Speaker 1: back to back picks here. I'm gonna go with Adam
51:32
Speaker 1: Feeland against Arizona, and I'll take Mitchell Trubisky, true wisky.
51:43
Speaker 1: I gotta get him in at some point. And I
51:48
Speaker 1: don't think you. I don't think he will arms leave
51:49
Speaker 1: or not, but if he gives me something close to that,
51:51
Speaker 1: I'll be happy. He wore his arm out throwing all
51:53
Speaker 1: those touchdowns. John need a quarterback or a wide receiver here,
51:59
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Mike Evans versus Calkins. All right,
52:06
Speaker 1: I saw a little no do you like that pick? Well?
52:08
Speaker 1: I like that game. I think that game in the
52:10
Speaker 1: Kansas City a New England game are probably the two
52:12
Speaker 1: best fantasy games at least going into the weekend. Actually,
52:16
Speaker 1: you got Matt Ryan and t J yeldin so far.
52:19
Speaker 1: I'm going Sammy Watkins, Sammy one. You don't like that pick?
52:25
Speaker 1: Like that, boy, I tell you I'm gonna go. I'm
52:29
Speaker 1: gonna go crazy big this week. I'm gonna go Tom
52:31
Speaker 1: Brady boy, and I'm gonna pair him with Rob Gronkowski
52:34
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football. We're never going to catch him. Well,
52:37
Speaker 1: we all get to use them. We can only do
52:39
Speaker 1: some one, you know, everybody gets to using throughout the season.
52:41
Speaker 1: You need a tight end here, ashland in Hurst first, okay,
52:46
Speaker 1: Jacksonville kid, John need your quarterback. M you can't pick Giants.
52:56
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is on a by I'm going big. I'm

Speaker 1: last week. And tight end for you, Brian Eric Ebron
53:07
Speaker 1: for the Ebron, Okay, you missed a couple of practices
53:10

Speaker 1: I say, with all sincerity, you're you're two hundred points ahead.
53:17
