  Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive Time. Ryan sex Sexty John says it actually
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: day jaguarres Drive Time starts right now. All right, here
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: we go on if we can definitely use a motivation,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: but we can't get that back. That's one thing about it.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: And the great thing about it's a new year. That's
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: how it is. Every year, whatever happened in the past,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you forget about it. Those that hold on to it,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: you know, they stay complacent or you know, they get
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: ahead of themselves because they're comparing to what happened last year.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: We can't do that. It's a new year. They have
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: new players. We have new players, new weapons. So we
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: just have to go out there and make plays. I
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: do that all the time. Night. You're so ready to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: go on a Thursday morning, you said to me, you said,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have boy off the top of a We're
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: gonna at the top. Are there we go? Uh? Yeah,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I'm raring to go. It's Thursday. It's Patriots Week. Um,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the storm is not coming this direction that it looks
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: like no storm related weather on Sunday. I just want
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: another Sunday in the wind, in the wind, in the rain, right,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I want to be dry on to day and it
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: looks like we're gonna get that now. So I'm excited, Slint. Sorry,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I just temp the gun on that one. It's okay. No,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I'm excited too. It's gonna be hot, but that's what
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: we wanted to be. No, rain is good exactly. We
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: like the heat. It's our friend. By the way, this
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: hour of Jack's Drive Time is brought to you by
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: our friends at Mercedes of Jacksonville and Mercedes of Orange Park,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: proud members of the Fields Automotive Group. Um, you got
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the sense yesterday just as sort of an overview to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: our show, that there were two schools of thought in
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the locker room. One is it's just another game. In fact,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you could hear the players that were listening to the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: coach because all he said was I heard this, and
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I went, okay, there's the theme. I'm excited that we're
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: playing at home and it's the home opener in front
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: of our fans. They did not take the bait. And
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: then there were some that said, the heck with that.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I want to play the Patriots, right, I want not
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: that it's the same game. It's not revenge because you
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: can't go back and play the Super Bowl over again.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: They got that one. Um, but I want to play better.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I want to walk off the field with the W
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I want that. So there were two distinct schools in
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: that locker room. Mstday absolutely had a j Boy who
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: we just heard. It was very intense focus. We had
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to give him credit real quick. I'm sorry interrupt you,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: but today, um Jalen's the big talker. Jalen obviously is
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the guy who draws everyone to him with his words
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and his play. Obviously, UM boy is more soft spoken,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: but you can see in his eyes the intensity and
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: what he's feeling. Yeah, when he walks up, it's almost
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a scary thing. He is laser focused him. But he
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: was one of the guys that said the first thing
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you said, you know, a win front of our fans,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: regular season Game two. And then you had to Sean
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Gibson who was all about the Patriots, all about an
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: FC rematch and I think he said one and nine
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: against the Patriots. He is, Yeah, he was all excited
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: about the Patriots. Well, he had two separate sides of
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the Spectrus. We said on Tuesday the Jaguars have only
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: ever beaten the Patriots once and Scott Zolak was the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: quarterback that day. Pete Carroll was the head coach. They've
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: never beaten Brady or Belichick. This is their best opportunity
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: with this defense. And if Lendard for Net plays, well,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I'm getting ahead of myself again. I'm sorry. Let's do
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the big things so that we can go catch up.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Catch up to me, Lynn, catch up to me. You're excited,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: all right. Big thing one like it's been all week
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: is for Net status Leonards Like now, it's been our
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: big thing the entire week. Week one. This just it
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: will and it's going to be tomorrow too. So done.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: When we asked him yesterday if he's going to play,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: he said, even if he doesn't practice all week, if
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: he's ready to go on Sunday, they're gonna put him
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: out there. You know, I'm more focused on how we
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: have to prepare then, you know, trying to throw up
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: smoke screens and things like that. I don't I don't know.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: If you guys are ready to play, they play, We
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: get him out there, and uh, you know, it's more
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: of a focus on us. Um. I don't like to.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I think when you start playing those games and things
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: like that, I think you're wasting energy, waste in time.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: You know, this is a common theme throughout the league
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: this week. Uh for net obviously is the engine for
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars on the offensive side of the ball. So
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: we're all waiting to see whether he'll or not. And
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: he said on the field after the game to an
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: ESPN reporter, Oh yeah, he'll be ready to go. The
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: same thing, by the way that Aaron Rodgers said to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Michelle Tafoya on Sunday Night Football. Oh yeah, he'll be
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: ready to go. There are star performers all around the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: league whose expectation is to play on Sunday, and yet
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: they have to work their way towards Sunday and that
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: final workout on Sunday morning. I don't expect that we
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: will know anything until on Sunday morning where they will
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and not that Doug is playing games with this, but
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: he said there's a plan in place, you know, since
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the flight home on Sunday, probably since halftime on Sunday
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: they knew exactly because he was in street closed in
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the second half. They were probably working maybe some stimulation,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: who knows, And they've had a plan all week. They're
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: gonna work him out on Friday afternoon, after the workout,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: after it's closed to the media, which again is not
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: playing games. It's the coaches prerogative. And so then they'll say, Okay, well,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: now can we get it done today? Can we get
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it done? So today? Can we get it done Sunday?
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: And my guess is somewhere between Leonard and the coaches
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: where the reality is and we'll find out at eleven
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: thirty on Sunday. So stay tuned on this one. Anyone
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: that tells you that they know, if it's not Tom,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Dave or Doug, they don't, Right, Leonard's gonna have input
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: into this one. Obviously, he's going to have input in
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: this one. But he may be able to say I'm
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: absolutely going to go on Sunday, and on Sunday Doug
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: may say no, it's week two. We have a long season.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like Carson Wentz, right, what have I
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: been telling you not to beat my own chest? But
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna beat my own chests here? What have I've
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: been telling you since Mayson will not see him in London?
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I think that's true. Not I could be wrong on that,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: but what I've been saying is he won't be ready
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: for the start of the season, and all the stories
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: where he looks great, he'll be ready for the start
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: of the season. Jeff Logan was in here on Tuesday
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and it was real simple, go back to the surgery
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and start counting months. It's a year injury for him.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I don't expect. And now all of a sudden as well,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: he's not ready. He hasn't even he cann't need clear
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: for contact yet. Every player in the league wants to
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: push the timetail forward because it's a very short career.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: They don't want to miss the opportunity to get on
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the field and make their money. Pro ball. It's about
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the money. They want to make their money. Now, Wentz
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: wants to play. Oh yeah, they know, they want to
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: play with their teammates and all that stuff. But the
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: bottom line is these guys sacrifice their bodies for the money. Right.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: They want to go and do that as long as
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: they can. So Leonard for Net, he wants to play,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: he wants he wants to maximize his opportunities, but eventually
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the coaches slow the process down. Agreed and worst case
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: scenario if for Net cannot go on Sunday, Blake Bortle
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: said yesterday to the media. You know are other options.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: We have confidence in them. Am I supposed to not
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: talk right now? I don't know. Everybody knows the kind
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: of football player that Leonard is and what he brings. Um,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: he's extremely good back. And I think when when you
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: know if he's not going to be available and you
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: go to t J and Corey, Um, you know, I
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: think they do a good job of picking up that slack.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: And I think everybod Eels takes pride in the fact that,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you know, if we're not going to have Lindard, we
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: gotta make sure we're on top of our game to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: help about the backs. And suddenly if you're reading between
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the lines there and if you have paid attention to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: our show all week, especially on Tuesday when Jeff came in. Um,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: if everybody is prepared, means if the offensive line plays better.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: They didn't play very well last week. And it wasn't
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: just It wasn't just the left tackle who struggled with
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: a couple of penalties. Andrew Norwell gave up the sack.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: He didn't he wasn't dominant at the point of attack.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Brandon Linder was working his way back after missing most
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of the preseason with the knee injury uh they had
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and by the way, Jeremy Parnell is on the injury
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: report this week within knee, although he's practicing. That group
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: has to be dominant upfront. The The Patriots are good.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: They don't have that absolute game record like the Jaguars
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: do with Marcel Dorius and Millie Jackson in the middle,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: but they're good. The scheme is sound, they are incredibly
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: well coached. UH. Danny Sheldon, the former Cleveland Brown, is
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: a load in and the linebackers play their game very well.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: They can stop the Jaguars from running the ball if
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars offensive line is not playing well. But I
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: think if Andrew Norwell and Brandon Linder and a J
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: can are on their games inside, the Jaguars should be
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: able to run. With t J Yeldon and with Corey Grant.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: For just for this conversation, I'm gonna say Leonard Fernet
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: doesn't play on Sunday, they still should be able to
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: run the ball. Based on what we saw from t
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: J in the preseason. He ran with power, and we
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: know that Corey can run inside the tackles. He did
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: it in the preseason. He's done it before, but they've
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: got to play better up front. I mean, you have
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to give him a chance. And I know fans were
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: so excited to see more of Corey Grant this season.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: If that's the case, wherefore net can't go, probably will
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: see more of Corey Grant, a lot more of well.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: And you know, the Jaguars have had that two backpackage
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: that they would like to use. But in order to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: do that, you have to have three healthy backs. You
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: can't just have to. You need to have three guys
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: so you can rotate them in if you go to
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: that two back can't have it. So in order for
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the whole playbook to be open, you want to have
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: everybody healthy on Sunday. Agreed, That is the goal, all right,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: big thing too is key stats. So we have some stats,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: some numbers for you. John Osier brought up an interesting
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: one yesterday and that is to take care of the football,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the Patriots and the turn of a battle. Some interesting
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: numbers here, Bryan. Well, when you look at at the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Patriots win of the time, it seems like they of
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the time. Anyway, the numbers are overwhelming when they win
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the turnover battle, when they're plus one or greater. Um,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: they lose fifty of the time. That's a winning percentage
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: when they lose the turnover battle. And obviously they're about
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: sixty seven in that range when they're even in the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: turnover battle. So you've got to win this one on Sunday.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: It's a key number. UM. I can remember Tom Coughlin
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: back in the old days when we did an actual
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: radio show together, UM where he said, seventy of the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: time you win when your plus one. That was a
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: chart that he brought out. And when you're plus two
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: are better, it's a nine percent of the time. Plus
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: three or better is ninet three of the time you
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: win plus four plus five. And by the way, we
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: should point out the Browns where plus five last Sunday
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and they tied. I mean, so that just through the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: skewed the whole poll. It makes sense. If you take
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a regulation NFL game, the average number of offensive possessions
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: is eleven, okay over time, over time it's eleven. If
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: you start taking two three possessions away in this league,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: that's two or three scoring opportunities away. Absolutely is major.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: So taking the bowl away is a key stat on Sunday.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: The Jaguars did that last week, the tip ball by
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: every Jones pick six and I swear as and I
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: was standing right there on the sideline when Telvin came
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: over and he and Miles were having the conversation with
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Marcel and calais, okay, now we go score. And I
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: can remember thinking, I don't you don't hear a defense
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: saying now we go score right, now we go sack them.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Now we go get the ball back in three plays,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: we make them pawn. Now we go score and hold
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: them normal. Of course they did right. Eight defensive touchdowns,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the most in the NFL since Opening Day last year.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: They can do it. They've got to do it this week.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: You have to take the bowl away from Tom Brady
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: and limit his exposure. Remember us all back here at
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Cia bake Field, all saying, you know, I feel something coming.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I feel some sort of momentum they need to score here.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I think everyone felt that some kind of shifted momentum
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: need to happen, And then it happened. We talked about
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: how special this defense is. There are enough guys on
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the field that can take that back right if that
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: bowl is anywhere near Miles Jack or Telvin or Dante
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Fowler or Yanni and go or Hack. How about last
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: year in Arizona when Calais Campbell picked it up and
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: took it back in. So this is a team that
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: can dictate. Um, it's tough to dictate to Tom Brady.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I mean just last year they took away Rob Gronkowski, Right,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: he had a bad thumb. Member the story all week.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: They have championship game and still and they had a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: touch lead and they couldn't old him off. This team
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: needs to play nearly perfect and they need to force
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: him into bad situations, which means take the ball away
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and go to that winning percentage. Let that number play
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: into your factor, give yourself a chance. One more stat
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: We talked about how good this defense is. The Patriots
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: are six and oh versus top five defenses since two
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: thousand and six. So we talked a week about how
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: good this defense is. Well, he rises, He rises to
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the occasion, Tom Brady, He's the greatest quarterback of all
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: time because when the game is the biggest, right, he
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: comes through. Right now, not all waisually didn't win the
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl this year, right, but how about when they
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: were down three in the Super Bowl prior? Right, all
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the way back. That's his d n A. This is
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: what the guy does the sixth round in two thousand.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: That is a story. I think that a lot of
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: people forget. You don't hear that as much as you
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: would think you would. Sometimes the stars align and you
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: get lucky, You get lucky, and that's the way it
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: worked for them, all right. Big thing three is the
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Pats rush. So the Giants didn't have much of a
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: pass rush last week, Boardles had some time. Now, when
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you look at the Patriots roster, you don't see a
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: lot of names. You recognize a lot of big names
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: on that pass rush, but it hits on Shawn Watson.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Twelve hits and three sacks on a mobile quarterback. That's
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: not easy. Now. Again, he's coming back from the A
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: c L so he probably doesn't want to hang in
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the pocket very long now. And the Texans offensive line
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: is still not very good and they're now they're down
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a left tackle who tour his or broke his ankle
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: in that ball game. But this is a team that
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: can get pressure on the quarterback. They have to. The
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Jaguars have to be able to establish the tempo on
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the ground. On Sunday they must be able to run
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the ball no matter who it is, and keep Blake
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: boardles facing third down and eight. If the Jaguars can
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: control the tempo, they can control this pass rush. But
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: if they can't, right there playing right into their hands.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: And of course Bill Belichick is an x slent defensive mind.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: You know they've got to be able to throw the
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: ball on Sunday because Belichick is going to force Blake
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: to throw it right. But if he can complete some passes,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: short passes, law any pass complete some passes and lighten
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: them up, soften them up. Then you go to the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: ground game. That's where you hope you have Leonard and
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: that's where you hope your offensive line steps up. Absolutely,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: you are not going to see they don't have Chandler
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Jones anymore. This is not J. J. Watt coming at you.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: You hope you can win the one on one matchups.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: You hope that your tackles, knees and all are healthy
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: enough to be able to be stout against these guys.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Uh down to high tower in the middle of that
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: defense is a very good player and a good pass
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: rusher two. So you need everybody to be on their game. Um,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: they will bring pass rush towards you, and you must
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: be ready for it. You look at guys like Cam
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Robinson and General who didn't have the game that we
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: all wanted him to have last week. This is the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: time week to everyone needs to take a step forward.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: And va Sack came up the middle, didn't come off
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the edge right. Bortles is a guy that can get
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: to the outside. So the outside pressure right that comes
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: tries to keep him in the pocket. Um, they don't
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: necessarily have that middle rusher, although Danny Sheridan can be
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: a handful for anybody. This week, the Jaguars have to
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: protect the quarterback even though you wouldn't think, well, you're
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: not seeing the stud pass rusher. There is no von
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Miller on this team, right, And if Tom Brady gets
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: out to a lead of some sword right and you're
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: trying to play comeback, well, that's when Belichick is at
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: his best. So I don't want to come back from
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: a lead. I don't want to do it. Well, you
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: do not want to fall behind. You want to set
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the temple, which comes back to the running game, which
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: is the story. Our first big thing, Leonard's leg Again,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: no update was working on the side yesterday, as Doug
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: said that he would, but don't try to interpret anything.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: You won't see much. He will not be in view
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: of cameras when practice is open. And again that's not
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: playing a game with it. It's just holding onto the
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: information a little bit, not giving him. Don't interpret much,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: but know everyone's well. And Doug stood there and said
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: he doesn't play those games. And I don't believe that
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: he does. But Tom will Tom Will TC will make
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: sure that Leonard is off to the side, somewhere where
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: no one sees him. He is not about to give
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: up even the slightest shred of information anything that can
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: be put on camera that Bill Belichick can see. Nothing.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I don't believe Doug is playing games. Doug is just
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: gonna do what Doug does. But the people around the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: seasoned NFL veterans, whether they be on the medical training
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: staff or the medical staff or the front office staff,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: are going to make sure that the Patriots getting no advantages,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: because the Patriots been known to take some advantages. I'm legal,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not. Hey, what can you do? You can make
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: sure you don't give him, don't give m anything at all.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: All right, we are due for a break When we
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: come back, we'll talk about the Patriots. This is Jags

  Speaker 1: fun stuff, alright, go and miss out all right. We
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: now are joined by Meredith Gorman New England Patriots team
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: reporter Meredith. How's it going, Hi, guys, Thank you so
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: much for having me. Of course we're excited to talk
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: about you. So we've heard all week about the Patriots
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and how successful they are and how intimidating they are.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: What's it like working for a team that has that reputation?
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: You know, it seems like, you know, everything around here
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: is exactly what you think from the outside. You know,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: it's starts with the top. You know, everything I would
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: say is just exactly how the players portray things to
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the media. If that makes sense. Um, you know, it's
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: basically it's a great place to work. Um. But at
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, you know, it's it's all business.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: And I think when the guys come in here, you know,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: if they're from an outside team, they quickly learned that,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: and then the guys who play on this team they're
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: used to it. I would say that the interesting thought
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: here from a lot of people is you have a
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: star who transcends the game in so many aspects, and really,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: there are only a handful of players in my twenty
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: five years covering this league, a handful of players in
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: any franchise that have what Tom Brady has, who brings
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the sort of aura that he brings. From your perspective,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: what what's it like covering Tom Brady? How easy is
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: he to deal with? It's amazing being able to be
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: here during this era. You know, Um, I think that
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Tom is really humble. He's really really nice. Um. You know,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the same thing for Coach Belichick to people kind of
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: get an outside of view of the two of them
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: is being kind of reserved, you know, kind of shy
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: away from the media. But they're both I mean, they
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: are both really nice people. And Tom is just so humble,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: and the guys in that locker room just cannot say
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: enough good things about him. I'm mean, when you guys
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: come onto the team, I think a lot of them
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: are a little surprised. You know, Tom Brady, He's a
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: lot nicer than they even could have imagined. Do you
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: think people realize and I'm not talking about people in
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: the organization now, talk to people outside the organization. With
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: a forty one year old quarterback who is clearly the
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: greatest of all time, the window is closing to some degree.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Tom Brady era is closer obviously to
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the end. Do you think people appreciate him for everything
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: that he brings to the table, or will it not
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: be until he's gone that they'll have enough perspective on
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady's career to really understand what they watched those years.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: You know, I think that Patriots fans fully appreciate Tom Brady.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, people don't truly appreciate things,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: just in human nature until they look back on things. Um.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: But you know, it's interesting, and you say that because
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: you know, I know that Brady basically. I mean, you know,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: there is all the contra are seeing the off season
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: and stuff, but when you look at what Brady has
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: done for this organization, it's truly incredible. And I know
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: that we talked to some of the guys in the
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: locker room just from an internal perspective last week. You know,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: can you believe that Brady's playing at the level that
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: he's playing at forty one years old? And the guys
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: are like, actually, yeah, we can, because when you see
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: him going in the preparation and the work that he
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: put in, it's no surprise that he's playing at the
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: level that he's playing at at his age. Well, and
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. I asked the question. We were
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: there last summer for the joint practices. I saw kids
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: who were a mid teens, you know, fifteen sixteen, and
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: all they ever knew from their franchise was greatness, was
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: winning ten or more, you know, wins this season for
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: fifteen straight years, five super Bowls in their lifetime. And
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: we know Detroit Lions fans, for instance, or Cleveland Browns
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: fans Jaguars fans who have never even seen Super Bowl,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: let alone one five of them. The level at which
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: they've played is so high, and all I thought was, boy,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: these kids are in for a huge crash when he retires,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: because there's you get that twice. You know, you don't
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: get it twice, you get that that's once in your
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: franchise's history that something like that comes along. Absolutely, and
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, just being in the organization at
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: this time, sometimes you do have to take a step
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: back and kind of pinch yourself and say, hey, you
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: know you're covering this team at a really historical time.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'll never probably see something like this again
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: in my career. You won't, I promise you, if you
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: if you are working to a hundred, you will never
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: see that again in the career. If that's how special,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: it is pretty cool. Now, Rob Rob Bronkowski seems to
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: have an extremely goofy personality, at least when we see
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: him in front of the media. What's he like behind
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the ropes in the locker room? Um, I would say
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: he's still pretty much a goofy person with Robert, you know,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: it seems like he's exactly what meets the I. Um,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: he is silly, obviously, you can be serious when he
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: needs to be. And when it comes to like more
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: serious topics, um, you will see a serious side of him. Uh.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: He definitely is just as goofy and and fun as
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: what he shows to the media. He's pretty Yeah, he's
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: pretty much what what meets that, you know, and that's
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: it's a great word to describe him. I don't think
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: it does enough justice for him. The story on him
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Meredith has been that he hasn't spent a penny of
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: his money. All he's done is spend the endorsement money,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: not his contract money. Uh. In a game that that
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: is absolutely the minority of players. I mean, he really
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: stands out. And you know, the thought on Gronkowski is
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: is that every week for most of his career, it's
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: been is he playing or is he not? But he
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: seems like he's healthy now and not a guy that
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: you're really worried about up there. Absolutely. I mean, I
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: think during the pre season the Patriots just wanted to
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: be extra cautious with him. But I know that, you know,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: he he is fully healthy right now. You know, he
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: said he's feeling like he's a hundred percent. You saw
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: him last week. He looked great out there. I think
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the key is just keeping him healthy. And obviously the
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Patriots are going to have to rely on him a lot,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: especially you know, the first four games of the season
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: with Julian Edelman out for you know, this month. But
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I think that, you know, I think he is fully
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: healthy and I just gotta keep them that way. Do
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: the Patriots have big games in the regular season. I mean,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: for a team whose expectation every year is to play
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: in February, can week to be a big game for
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. Oh? Absolutely. And I don't
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: think anybody within that team right now is downplaying you know,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: just how big coming going to Jacksonville and playing playing
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: you guys. I think this is one of the biggest
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: games on our regular season schedule, and when you think
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: about it, you know it's an a f C Championship
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: rematch Patriots heading down to Jacksonville. You know, the fans
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: are obviously going to bring a lot of energy. Um,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: you could say maybe thoughts of hey, are the Jaguars
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: out for revenge? You know? I mean, I think this
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: is a huge game, and by the looks of it,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars defense has only gotten better from last season,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: so I think the Patriots will definitely have their hands
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: full looking forward to Sunday. What's the reputation of the
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Jaguars like up in New England. We've heard all along
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: about what we think the Jaguars are and what we
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: think the New England Patriots are down here. But what
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: are they saying up there? You know, people are saying
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: they're tough, great defense, well coached. Obviously there's now a
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: little bit of talk about the trash talking because of
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Dalen Ramsey. But I would say, yeah, the three things,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: you know, tough, well coached, and it's gonna be hard
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: to beat. That's what we like to hear. All right, Meredith,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us. I'm sure we'll see
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: you down here this Sunday. Thank you so much for
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: having me. All right, we'll be back with Jaguars Drive Time.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Thank you Meredith for joining us. We'll be back with
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Marcus Pollard and who said it in a Thursday night
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: football preview. We'll see you then. You can step up
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: to luxury now. Hello, I'm Dan Fields. Whenever you're driving,
• 27:15

• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Make this your year to step up to luxury at Fields, Catalec, Mercedes, Bands, Porsche,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Land Rover, Jaguar and Lexus. When it comes to the
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: ultimate car buying experience, there's a league one name that
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: matters Fields, and Fields matters because you matter. The Fields
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Auto Group called Partners of your Jacksonville Jaguars. Did you
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: hear the last two years the Jaguars returned up hunt
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: for a touchdown, earning local families one hundred thousand dollars
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: towards the Dream Finders Home. Lauren Brooks here letting you

• 28:13
  Speaker 1: the guys from Fields Auto Group, proud to present Jacks
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Drive Time, especially Mercedes. I want to say Marcedes all
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: the time. That's what happens to me for eleven years. Uh.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Mercedes of Orange Park and of Jacksonville, proud members of
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: the Fields Automotive Group. All right, let's take a look
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: at the a f C South. It's pretty cut and dried, right,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars all alone in first place. It's only one weekend, uh,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: But injuries in Miami and well in Tennessee and in
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Houston this week, and the Colts hopefully getting someone back.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: So let's take a look at your a FC South
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: headlines as we get started on Thursday. The Texans lose
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: another starter. Cornerback Kevin Johnson, a former first round pick
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: who has struggled a bit with injuries over the course
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: of his career, suffered a concussion last week in New England.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: They thought he would be down a few weeks. It
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: was a serious concussion, and then we learned that he
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: has now had two concussions in the last month, and
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: so he's down on injured reserve for at least eight weeks,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: designated to return, but we'll see he's got a long
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: road ahead of him. And that's a defense that was
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: decimated by injury last year. Recall that they lost J. J.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Watt and Whitney Merciless. They were really playing shorthanded. Their
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: middle linebacker Brian Cushing, was out for a big chunk
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: of last year as well, so they're not starting on
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: a good foot. And by the way, it's the second
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: started they lost for for the injured reserved list, although
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: he's designated a return. Seantral Henderson there starting left tackle
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: done as well with a fractured ankle, which I mentioned
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: as well. So Houston starting up kind of the same
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: way they did last year when injuries absolutely and players
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: still coming back from injury. J. J. Watt, Whitney Merciless,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: and Deshaun Watson all coming back off of a long layoff,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: and so we'll wait and see how long it takes
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: them to get back in mid season form. All right
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: on to Tennessee, where you have Marcus Mariotta, who apparently
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: still has some tingling in his passing hand. Remember that
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: he had the elbow shoulder injury last week in Miami,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: went back in the game after that long delay and
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: through two interceptions. So they're gonna be really cautious at
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: these their franchise quarterback Ashland, but also they're going to
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: be cautious with him because they need to have him
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: performing at a high level. Um So we'll see still tingling,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: but they're hopeful he can play against the Texans, that's
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: their home opener this week. Yeah, if you have tingling
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: and you're throwing interceptions, I have a feeling they're not
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: gonna want to raise that absolutely. But he practiced to
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: a degree yesterday. We'll see what he does. And finally,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: did you hear Andrew. Look, he said that playing on
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Sundays is like a car wreck, which is a very
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: apt way to describe it. It's a scheduled car wreck, right,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: and he's right. This week, it appears that he'll have
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: one of his air bags. Left tackle Anthony Costanzo, who
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: did not play last week because of a hamstring injury,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: is scheduled to return this week. So for a guy
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: who thought he played pretty well and got through the
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: game relatively unscathed. Andrew luck should have his big air
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: bag on the left side there to cushion it. I
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: like that analogy. Yeah, you don't want necessarily be called
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: a bag of hot air. I know I've called that before,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: But air bag in a in the right context, not
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: too bad. A planned car attack, car correck, correct car accident.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: All right? How about NFL headlines? A couple of news
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: and notes from around the National Football League as we
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: get set to start a week to tonight with the Ravens,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: and the Ravens do here this. Mike Zimmer yesterday said
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: that he expects Aaron Rodgers to play on Sunday, and quote,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: what you know that guy he walks on water. Yeah,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: with the intensity that we saw in that postgame interview
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: an all week. If he can go, he's gonna go.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: But his knee was sore, and he didn't go yesterday
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: on the midfield, which is interesting. He didn't go in
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: the practice. Now, running back is a position where you
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: cannot practice and probably play quarterback wouldn't seem to be that.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: And Aaron Rodgers thirty four, been around the game now
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: long enough he might be able to get away with it.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Practicing on Friday alone. That's one to follow, he said
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: immediately after the game which you referred to. He would
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: play Sunday. But he's been in that system so long.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I think he's one of the few that could pull
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: off a quarterback knock practicing. But god, it does walk on.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: We'll find out, Aaron Rodgers, We'll find out. How about
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: this one? The Quarterback Club for quarterbacks under six ft
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: was started by Drew Brees yesterday, who has thrown for
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: seventy eight hundred and eighty four passing yards in his career.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: I think seventy four. He said Baker Mayfield could be
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: better than him. Wow, so that's for at least seventy
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: eighty five of right, those are big shoes to fill.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: And you know, I hadn't thought about it, but in
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: watching Baker Mayfield at Oklahoma, and I'm excited to see
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: the kid developed. Whenever he does get into the lineup
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: in Cleveland, he does have a little breeze to him,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: which is high praise because Drew Brees has that cannon
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: for an arm and the uncanny timing to get rid
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: of the ball to the right guy at the right time,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: and just I think the biggest thing about Baker Mayfield.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: The will to win man. He just finds a way
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: to win. If you watched Hard Knocks, you fell in
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: love with just the love of the game he has.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Oh it's good stuff. It makes Baker Mayfield. Just you're
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: a fan of him, you can't not help but be
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: after Hard Knocks, so you should watch it, all right.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Let's wrap up NFL headlines with this um. Joey Bosa,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: one of the best pass rushers in football, suffered a
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: bone bruise on his foot about a month ago, thought
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: it was healed, and last week, working out in individual
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: drills is the Chargers were preparing for Kansas City, suffered
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: another bruise on his foot. It was confirmed to be
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: a bone bruise. He's out for a week two and
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: the thought is he might be out longer than that.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Not season ending, not injured reserve, designated return, but he
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: might be out for a few weeks with that bone bruise.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: I have heard bone bruises I had won myself. I'm
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: not an athlete, but it was most annoying injury ever.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: It's just there's nothing you can do about it. You
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: just sit there and let it heal. And I can
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: imagine for an NFL athlete who wants to play just
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: sit there. Well, and for the Chargers in particular, who
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: have had such a run of injuries on the defensive
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: side of the football over the last two years. Uh,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: not having him the pressure upfront that they have with
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: those two edge rushers, not having him puts a lot
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: of pressure on the other guy, A lot of pressure
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: on the other guy, and a lot of pressure on
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: the head coach out there, Anthony Lynn to get that
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: thing turned around. Because many people believe that the Charger's
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: roster is as talented as you'll find in the a
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: f C West and should be competing for the division title.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: But they're already in the hold nowt good for them. Uh,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: they get Josh Allen this week, the rookie quarterback and
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bill's team didn't look so great. You come on,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: don't be nice. What did you see from the Bills?
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Let it out, Ashlyn, come on, not very much. I
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: didn't see the Bills we saw here last year. Yeah, yeah,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: they're not very good. And a rookie quarterback going out
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: there to the West Coast and playing in l a um.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: We'll see, We'll see what they get done. All right,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: We'll take a break. When we come back, we anticipate
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Marcus Pollard joining us. For it's not Ashlyn asks what
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: do we call him? Who said it? Who said? Plus,
• 35:27

• 37:21
  Speaker 1: If you'd like more information than we're providing you now,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: and honestly, I don't know why you would, uh, Jaguars
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: dot Com slash Game Day has you ready for the
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Jaguars and the Patriots in a game that's just bigger
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: regular season game. And again we you know, we say
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: that Ashland big regular season game. And then we're in
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: the locker room asking, Yeah, but if you don't win,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: if you come out one and one, does it crush you?
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: I mean does it does it hurt you? Not really?
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: I mean maybe in the tiebreakers when we get towards
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: the end of the season. So we build this up
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: because in the stadium, it's a huge game on the field,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: it's week two, Game two, go play as well as
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: you can go play to win. But if you don't win,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: it's not like you're going fifteen and one, you know
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: what I mean. You got some losses on your schedule
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: in this game. Um, only only the nineteen seventy to
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins and the the only team that finished with
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl title and defeated. But the New England
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Patriots had that sixteen game, sixteen and no season in
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. So look for that. Look for
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: this to be a big environment. Marcus Poller joined us.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Now you want to get his microphone up and get
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: him come on in. Here's daily's play schedule. This week

• 38:43
  Speaker 1: back to back to back nights with concerts sting and
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Shaggy on Friday night. I mean, it just never seems
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: to end at the stadium, which is exactly what they're
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: trying to do. Have this as a destination place, bringing
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: folks through from Sunday to Sunday. We're about ready to
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: talk not music. We're done with music. We're ready to
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: move on to football. But there is Daily's places they're
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: getting set up. Marcus Pollocks here, Marcus, how are you
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: doing great? Ready for this? You did a great job
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: with it last week. That's why he invited him back. Ok, yeah,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: he gotta be humble now, Marcus, come on, he gotta
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: be what game would be. John was really upset because
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: he just won. Because he's our guest. I'm not gonna lie,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: but we had to give it to him. He's our guest.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: We had to be polite. John was having a fit.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Well are you a guest? If you're here again this week,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I think you're now a regular. Now let's go all right,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: let's do this thing, Marcus. Let's do this all right?
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Who said it? Number one? Now? Do you remember the rules?
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Do I have to go over them again? I just
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: run through the real quick alright, So I'm going to
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: read something on social media. Could be Twitter, could be Instagram,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: could be something they said in the locker room. We're
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: expanding now we got the locker room. Yeah, you're really
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: gonna have to start paying attention now. So a player
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: on the Jaguars ball sir said something. You're going to
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: have to guess who said that quote? Now. The first
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: one is this who can dread hair in Jacksonville. We've
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: seen it many times the past few weeks. This guy
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: really needs a hair do. He's tweeted it a lot.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: It's been a major talking point that social media department.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't see it. You didn't see It's a wild guess.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: It's a wild guest. I'm just guessing, basing on on
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: what I saw from him as he walked in your
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: city morning. I see why you would guess that I
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: was right right. He had the hair up yesterday he did,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: and he had his hair braided on Sunday and last
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: week when he met the media. So I it's not
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: a problem that I would know anything to the guy
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: who the answer is, See why you would say that?
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: And Peter, did you make a guess? No, same guess,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: not far off. He is a guy with a lot
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: of hairstyles. But it is it is Austin Safari and Jenkins, right, Bro.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: He had the same thing going last week too. Yeah,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: he had the dreads, the braids with what we call
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: him on what do you call him? Marcus? I called
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: him braids because right now he's rocking corn rolls, all right,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: but he had that frog big he can pull it off.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: He can. He's a big guy. En. So I see,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: that's a good guess for both of you. But I
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: gotta be more attention to social Okay, Now this is
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: about the one and only Rob Gronkowski. Someone said this
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: this week either stop him or see all the crazy
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: dancing that he does. What do you call that? Dancing arms?
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: It's like those two things shot in front of car
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: dealerships that they blow up with area. Oh, that's a
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: good way to call it. Okay, So who said that?
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Who said that? Wouldn't be somebody on the defensive side.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: It would all right, let's see it, Brian, you first,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: highly close but no story of my life, well with
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: close to but no hold on, hold on. Yes, you
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: should have guessed because he was speaking to the media yesterday. Yeah. Oh,
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: his press conferences have become a site to see lately. Well,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: he was walking down the hallway instructing someone on the
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: proper way to cook crab yesterday, snow crab, king crab,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: it didn't matter. He was he was. He was offering
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: his preference for king crab legs. But he was offering
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: a recipe to Savannah she was walking down the hallway
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: after the press conference. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, maybe
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: he has an affinity for it and he's learned how
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: to cook. I have heard he likes to cook, and
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I've already liked seafood. He was telling. I wanted to
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: keep walking down the hallway with him because I wanted
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: to hear the rest of it, but I had to
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: get onto the field. So he was telling us that
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Safe Harbor is his favorite restaurant. Here have you been
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: to Save Harbor? Have been recently? Right out there in
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: mayport By? There's a Safe Harbor on. Look at all
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: the advertising we're giving them right here on the show.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Another ways, bring breakfast for Marcus and Ashlyn and will
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: taste tested gladly? What else you got? All? Right? Last one?
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: This should be a pretty easy one. If you love
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: what you do, is it really work? Someone who loves
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: the game more than most, more than most. You're throwing
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: me off. I would say he loves the game almost
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: the most on this roster. Frustrating that can only be
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: one guy. You ready, it can only be one guy.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, mp D D the man himself. Change it
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: even wasn't before? Well, because you talked to Dante earlier
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: this week, I thought he was happy to be back.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: You're really like waking into I thought, well, then she
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: said loves the game more than anyone else, and I went, no,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: that can only be Chlais. So I did. I changed
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: it before I saw yours. You know what? Dante didn't
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: mention though, how much he loves the game of football.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: I heard it, and listening to your interview with him,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: I heard how much he missed the game last week
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: and how excited most Well, that that was the clue.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: That was That was it when you said that about okay,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: and maybe Dante loves it, but nobody expresses it better
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: than he does at this point in his career. You know,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: just a little perspective, Um, well, how old were you
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: when you retired? That's a great question. Thirty? All right,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: let me let me attack it from a different perspective.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: He's thirty one years old, he's been playing the game
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: now eleven years. He loves it, maybe more than he
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: ever has. Everything about it, he said, the preparation, you know,
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: the trip, playing at home, all of it. Um and
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: last week Jeff Logman told us on Tuesday, he's as
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: well as he did last year. You don't necessarily find
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: guys and you were eleven that are playing as well
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: as they did in year five, let alone your town. Yeah,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: he do you marvel at him? I do? I do
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: because I watched him during training camp. He's not asking
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: for days off. He's out there grinding it, running sprints
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: with Milo and the sun condition stuff and not asking
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: asking for any days off. He's never like he was
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: hurt and he was on a bike and he was
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: like he was last I'm strong out there, and so
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: the You marvel at a guy that's so big and
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: has been beat on so long and still loves the
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: game so much that he still was grinding at it
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: and working hard as a piece of rookie. I'm liable
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: to make someone mad with the statement, but rarely is
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: a free agent worth the money that you pay. Right,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: there's that old adage you're just gonna overpay in the
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: marketplace to get the guy that you want. And in Jacksonville,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: we've seen over the years, we've seen you guys come
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: through here. And you know, because you were playing for
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: the Colts. Again some of the guys, uh that we
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: had come through here. Um god, why can't I think
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: of his name? Logs yelled across the room, the pass
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: rusher that came from Philadelphia, Hugh Douglas. I couldn't Hugh Douglas.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, they paid Hugh Douglas. He rolled up
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: in his Ferrari and gave him nothing. Anyway, Anyway, he's
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: worth every penny, not just for what he's done on
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: the field where he that alone is worth it, but
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: what he means to that locker room in the way
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: that he is an ambassador for not only your football program,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: but your franchise. He's worth seventeen million and one dollar.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: He's worth one more dollar than you pay. And I
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: can't you got some guys in there, Bellie Jackson and
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: and um uh a j I mean, those guys are
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: worth their money. I'm not taking anything away, but and
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: they're they're worth their money. But that guy is at
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: a different level than maybe any free agent I've ever
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: seen at any stop except the guy who started free agency,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Reggie White. This guy has a chance to be as impactful,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: especially if this team win the Super Bowl as Reggie
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: White was and he was the first free agent. He
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: told us. Clay has told us the other day that
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: he still practices right when he started his career. He
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: still does it. That he'll go for around doors, around
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: trash cans and practice pass rush. Oh he does it?
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: See him do it? D What are you doing? Working on? Working,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: working on? He's the best and he never seems to start.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he cracked up. He'll do he'll do coming
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: around me sometimes. Okay, you're working on your craft, broeah exactly.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: Try trying not to get the side of my head
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: that I don't need any of that. Thursday night football
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: thought on how difficult it is. It's not as difficult
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: in week two as it probably is in week seven
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: or week eight. But how do those guys get ready?
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, how do you get turned around in just
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: a few days? And I don't talk to the metal sun,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: not totally physical. What would you do to be ready
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: to play on Thursday night after playing on Sunday? I
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: think it starts up top with the with the coach.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: He has to have some sort of idea, what kind
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: of shape his teams in, what kind of torture they've
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: probably taken on Sunday, and you gotta give some time
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: where they just recover. Practices are a lot short, a
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: lot of hat, hat wearing practices. You do not put
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: on pads at all night, even the Spiders. You do
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of walk through its just to give guys
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: some time to recover, because you do take a pounding
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, says you guys know, uh So to me,
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: that'll be the first and foremost, just to make sure.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of hat wearing practices. Hats on backwards
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: and you just call him hat practices and you kind
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: of just walk through things that you would need to
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: get ready for on Thursday. So tonight the Ravens play
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: the Bengals, and we've got a new segment on the
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: show called MP pays Right. Who would Marcus Pollard pay
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: to watch play tonight? Who in the game this evening
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: is worth your time? You're not going to pay, obviously,
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: but you turn the TV on because you want to
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: see this guy play. I think I want to see
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: um a tight end from South Carolina hating her local
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: guys play tight end. I'm kind of interesting seeing what
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: he can bring to the table. Did you see him
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: when he came through, because I know we probably visited
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: visited with him. A great guy. We had a great,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: great conversation. We talked tight end quite a bit, talked
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: about you know, what he means is community and what
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: he's gonna do when he comes back. Uh. So I'm
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: excited to see what he can do. Also, Lamar Jackson, Yeah,
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: you guys, he got a couple of snaps last week,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: but they're not gonna be a seven and three this time,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens. But I like to see Hayden,
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: see what he does. You know, I was interested to
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: watch A J. Green uh last week to see how
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: because he just was off last year and I got
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: a I get the Ramsey thing from last year, but
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: A J. Green was one of those guys I always
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: enjoyed watching because he's such a different receiver. He's so long,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: so tall, so fast. His timing was always perfect. I'm
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: looking forward to the night's game and last year when
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: the Ravens and the Bengals played Week two this year.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to say another guy I'm interested in this thrill.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Sus been around such a long time and playing at
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: a high level, and it was a lot like Chliss.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Canny still get it done at this point in his career,
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: and I think he's a first Battle Hall of Fame
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: when it comes down. Yeah, you know, And he's a
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: guy I used as an example. The Jaguars had a
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: chance to draft him and they didn't, you know, and
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: they drafted somebody who I love, Byron Leftwich, but who
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: didn't play very long. And he to me, he's an
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: example I always use of. In two thousand three, they
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: passed on Sugs. In two thousand four, they passed on
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Wrothless Burger. In two thousand five, they passed on Rogers. Right, Well,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: when you pass on those types of players, you generally suffer,
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: and they did for a while, right, And so now
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: you look at these drafts, and you look at the
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: way they didn't pass on on Jalen Ramsey, and they
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: didn't pass a Uni Can got away, they didn't pass
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: on some of these guys Leonard for Net, and so yeah,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: when you bring up Sugs, they go, oh yeah, it
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: was very play Seattle and the first thing they said,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: you guys gave up picking the punter Brian Inger. Yeah,
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: and we could have drafted Russell's Wilson. Yeah. That one's
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: never really gone away either. Yeah, exactly. All right, m
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: p pas and this week you're paying to watch the
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: tight end hayden Hurst totally with you on that one.
