Speaker 1: What's up, man, man? Everything is good. It's all good.
1:30
Speaker 1: J people. Man. John over there looking very festive, very
1:34
Speaker 1: festive in that it's it's John's favorite time of year,
1:40
Speaker 1: and he never disappoints with the Christmas decorations. I'll say
1:43
Speaker 1: that I love it. Is that an elf on the shelf?
1:47
Speaker 1: I think that's an elf on the shelf? But now
1:50
Speaker 1: did it move in the last day. It's just the
1:53
Speaker 1: whole idea I think is to move the elf every day. Right, John,
1:58
Speaker 1: he's dead, JP. He came in. Okay, he didn't quite
2:03
Speaker 1: make it to the holidays. Well, let's let's get to it.
2:07
Speaker 1: Let's start off speaking of you know, the Jaguars are
2:11
Speaker 1: struggling right now, obviously eleven straight losses. There was a
2:14
Speaker 1: five minute window on Sunday where the Jags had a
2:19
Speaker 1: moment where the Jets had the lead on the Raiders
2:23
Speaker 1: and then they didn't have the lead on the Raiders anymore.
2:25
Speaker 1: And it was right at the same time frame of
2:27
Speaker 1: overtime and everything going on with the Jags. So there
2:31
Speaker 1: was a lot going on in that five minute period
2:33
Speaker 1: until the hail Mary and the Jets screwed up everything
2:36
Speaker 1: for us. Bucky. I know, I know JPN is tough
2:40
Speaker 1: for me because I was sitting there watching UM. I
2:42
Speaker 1: had the JEZ game in the lower box and I'm
2:45
Speaker 1: watching it like, oh, they may give up the number
2:48
Speaker 1: one overall pick. But then I'm watching US and we're
2:51
Speaker 1: getting ready to kick off overtime, and I'm I'm torn
2:54
Speaker 1: because there's a part of me that was, like, you know,
2:58
Speaker 1: it would be nice to have uh an opportunity to
3:01
Speaker 1: get that lottery ticket at Trevor Lawrence, but it didn't
3:04
Speaker 1: work out. We'll see, We'll see if the jett can
3:06
Speaker 1: stumble upon another win, and we're just gonna see how
3:08
Speaker 1: plays out for us. Little John at costs the defensive
3:12
Speaker 1: coordinator his job in New York this week. Well, I
3:17
Speaker 1: think it had to. I mean, I Greg Williams had
3:20
Speaker 1: a lot of success that call. Obviously, it is what
3:24
Speaker 1: he is. I've never covered Greg, but I've covered Greg's
3:27
Speaker 1: teams enough to know that's what he does. He wasn't
3:30
Speaker 1: trying to tank, he wasn't trying to lose. I get
3:33
Speaker 1: the conspiracy theories, you know, say hello to tupacet Elvis
3:36
Speaker 1: for me. You know all those things. I get what
3:39
Speaker 1: fans are thinking, but that was what he was. But
3:43
Speaker 1: you know, after that call, uh, I guess they had
3:47
Speaker 1: to make a move. But I mean, I still say
3:50
Speaker 1: I was into a JP I'll I wasn't watching that game.
3:55
Speaker 1: I was watching the jack because that's what we do.
3:57
Speaker 1: But I had a score tracker on and when the
4:01
Speaker 1: Raiders scored, I was like, gotta come on. But I'm
4:04
Speaker 1: still not convinced with four games to go that this
4:06
Speaker 1: team is not gonna win again, meaning the Jaguars. The
4:11
Speaker 1: last four weeks, they've played three playoff teams where you
4:15
Speaker 1: can make an argument that they should have won, been
4:17
Speaker 1: in overtime, whatever. This team, I think may play its
4:22
Speaker 1: way out of that on its own rather than depending
4:25
Speaker 1: on the Jet. Yeah, they're playing hard, Bucky. I mean
4:29
Speaker 1: that they're in some close ball games down the stretcher
4:31
Speaker 1: just can't finish. No, I just can't finish nothing. That's
4:34
Speaker 1: where the talent kind of takes over. Um, you can
4:38
Speaker 1: get you can cover a lot of ground playing harder
4:40
Speaker 1: than the other team, doing things, hustling and and doing
4:43
Speaker 1: all those other things. But at the end of the day,
4:46
Speaker 1: typically the most talented team wins, and what we're seeing
4:49
Speaker 1: some of these game deciding plays. The other guys just
4:54
Speaker 1: more talented than I got right now, and I think
4:57
Speaker 1: there's some lesson to be learned. Obviously from the season.
4:59
Speaker 1: The team is sticking together. Doug Marone does have these
5:02
Speaker 1: guys playing hard, and that's a credit and testament to
5:04
Speaker 1: him and his staff. But right now just a nuts
5:08
Speaker 1: below what you where you need to be to compete
5:10
Speaker 1: with some of the top teams in the league and Jays,
5:14
Speaker 1: let's get to it. Yes, John, I think to play
5:18
Speaker 1: into what Bucky said, I completely agree talent plays a
5:22
Speaker 1: role at the end. I also think experienced talent wins
5:27
Speaker 1: out and the Jaguars have some talent that in a
5:31
Speaker 1: year might be making plays to win these games. It
5:35
Speaker 1: just strikes me that it's a combination of what Bucky
5:38
Speaker 1: said and they're not quite being enough guys who have
5:41
Speaker 1: made those plays before in big situations. You hope somebody
5:45
Speaker 1: makes one at some point that they can learn how
5:48
Speaker 1: that's done. And now I interrupted, JP, go ahead with
5:51
Speaker 1: the show. No, No, that's a that's an outstanding point, John,
5:56
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, because the only way you get
5:58
Speaker 1: experience is to go get experience. Let's start with a
6:02
Speaker 1: guy who has some experience in the NFL at quarterback.
6:05
Speaker 1: Mike Glennon will get to start again this week for
6:07
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, third week in a row, John, And you
6:11
Speaker 1: know the audience first time out was pretty good. Last
6:14
Speaker 1: time out, you see it there a couple interceptions lost
6:16
Speaker 1: to fumble, sacked for safety in the fourth quarter, and
6:20
Speaker 1: he threw that overtime interception that set up the final
6:23
Speaker 1: drive for Minnesota to win the game on a field
6:26
Speaker 1: goal in the final minutes of overtime. But it's Mike
6:30
Speaker 1: Glennon again this week. And I get the feeling, John,
6:33
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be Mike Glennon for a little while here,
6:35
Speaker 1: if not the whole rest of the way. Well, I
6:40
Speaker 1: said when Jake Lewton was playing that he was gonna
6:43
Speaker 1: have to have a disastrous game permits you to come back. Well,
6:48
Speaker 1: he had the disastrous game against Pittsburgh and they put
6:50
Speaker 1: glenn in. I think the same way about Glennon. And
6:53
Speaker 1: and you can call Sunday disastrous if you want. The
6:56
Speaker 1: overtime interception was disastrous, if fumble was disas stress, But
7:01
Speaker 1: I don't think it remotely reached that point, especially when
7:04
Speaker 1: you consider that Glennon had a really good drive at
7:07
Speaker 1: the end of the game. To me, and I want
7:09
Speaker 1: a lot of Buckey's thoughts on this in the show.
7:12
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna belabor it, but I do think that
7:15
Speaker 1: Glennon is doing a lot of things the coaches like,
7:19
Speaker 1: particularly taking shots down field, throwing balls beyond the fifteen
7:25
Speaker 1: yard range that Frankly Gardner wasn't doing and that was
7:29
Speaker 1: why the offense felt constricted. I feel like, no matter
7:32
Speaker 1: what the interceptions are, that they like the fact that
7:36
Speaker 1: he's taking those shots and has the arm to do it.
7:39
Speaker 1: That's my thought on it, But I really want to
7:41
Speaker 1: hear BUCkies on Mike Glennon. Yeah, I think there's some
7:44
Speaker 1: comfort in Mike Glennon because you, Jake gruten Um, you're
7:48
Speaker 1: trying to win a game. You want someone who can
7:50
Speaker 1: basically give you every option at the line of scrimmage. Well,
7:54
Speaker 1: Mike Lenny can do that. He's played enough where you
7:56
Speaker 1: understands how the man is a game at the line
7:58
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. He has a calm in this and the
8:00
Speaker 1: composure to be able to manage the situations that may
8:03
Speaker 1: pop up in the huddle, and frankly, he's played better
8:07
Speaker 1: than the other two guys. I know that he melted
8:10
Speaker 1: down a little bit at the end of the Jacksonville game,
8:12
Speaker 1: but any backup quarterback when you get about forty to
8:15
Speaker 1: forty two throws, they're not meant to throw it that much.
8:18
Speaker 1: That's why their backup quarterback. And so that's not his thing.
8:22
Speaker 1: But the way that he started the first half, the
8:25
Speaker 1: way that he was very efficient and effective getting the
8:28
Speaker 1: ball to a bunch of different receivers, that's the way
8:30
Speaker 1: that this offense wants to look. If Jake Bruton can
8:34
Speaker 1: continue to get that kind of effort from Mike Lennon
8:37
Speaker 1: and maybe lean on the running game just a little
8:39
Speaker 1: bit more, that is a recipe for the Jaguars to win.
8:43
Speaker 1: Mike Lennon gives them their best chance of victory, and
8:46
Speaker 1: I respect to see him be the starting quarterback the
8:48
Speaker 1: rest of the way unless he just has an epic
8:50
Speaker 1: meltdown that I just can't foresee happening. Yeah, it would
8:55
Speaker 1: take something. Um I mean, I don't even really want
8:58
Speaker 1: to speculate one it would take because you just have
9:00
Speaker 1: to see it to really know at that point that
9:03
Speaker 1: they really have to make that move again. Part of
9:05
Speaker 1: that is the receiver corps as well. And there's been
9:08
Speaker 1: a few weeks here where d J Chark has scuffled
9:10
Speaker 1: a bit. He was an active a couple of weeks
9:12
Speaker 1: ago against that Cleveland, but he came back last week.
9:15
Speaker 1: They targeted him seven times, but John, he only had
9:18
Speaker 1: two catches in the game forty one yards. You know,
9:21
Speaker 1: there was that sense of frustration early in the year
9:23
Speaker 1: from him that we saw when when Minshee was out
9:26
Speaker 1: there is the quarterback or this is really early in
9:28
Speaker 1: the season. The things just weren't going great for him,
9:31
Speaker 1: and then how did they get him back on track
9:34
Speaker 1: down the stretch here? John, Yet, I don't know that
9:38
Speaker 1: I didn't sense that same level of frustration the other
9:41
Speaker 1: day from DJ and I. Doug talked about it today,
9:43
Speaker 1: Doug morn that he's really overall handled some tough situations. Well,
9:52
Speaker 1: I think it was Doug maybn J. Everything runs together
9:55
Speaker 1: when you win an eleven JP, But he talked about
9:58
Speaker 1: how he really DJ has handled this well, uh, and
10:03
Speaker 1: that he's a very unselfish player. I honestly don't know
10:06
Speaker 1: how to get him the ball more because they've been
10:09
Speaker 1: doing that there were games where Minshew was playing and
10:12
Speaker 1: Lewton was playing. I think there was one number that
10:15
Speaker 1: over a two game stretch it was twenty one target.
10:18
Speaker 1: Uh So when it was discussed today, there was a
10:21
Speaker 1: feeling that it was a lot of different things. Some'm
10:24
Speaker 1: DJ some I'm the quarterback. So I'm just not being
10:27
Speaker 1: quite on the same page. Uh It's a mystery to me.
10:30
Speaker 1: But the scouts take is here for a reason. You know,
10:35
Speaker 1: it's funny because dj Um he has seven targets. But
10:38
Speaker 1: sometimes when you have a talented player like dj somewhere
10:41
Speaker 1: on your call sheet there's a get the ball the chart.
10:45
Speaker 1: Let's make sure that we get him an easy touch,
10:47
Speaker 1: whether that's a quick screen, a hitch, an isolated route
10:51
Speaker 1: where he can touch the ball. The main thing that
10:53
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that you do each and
10:54
Speaker 1: every week is you keep your number one player engaged,
10:58
Speaker 1: because if he goes for a long stread and in
11:00
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter you need him and he hasn't touched
11:03
Speaker 1: the ball at that point, then it becomes a problem.
11:06
Speaker 1: He getting he's getting coverage loaded his way, he's getting
11:09
Speaker 1: some some things to really eliminate him from the progression.
11:13
Speaker 1: But his own j Gruden to find a way to
11:15
Speaker 1: make sure that he keeps him engaged by making sure
11:17
Speaker 1: he gets enough touches each week. You know that that
11:21
Speaker 1: window you're talking about John was the two games going
11:23
Speaker 1: into the bye week against Detroit and at the Chargers,
11:26
Speaker 1: where he had fourteen targets against Detroit seven against the Charges,
11:30
Speaker 1: and then after the bye the week after that he
11:31
Speaker 1: had twelve targets in that game. So those three games
11:35
Speaker 1: combined he only had fifteen catches though, So there was
11:37
Speaker 1: a lot of football's going his way, but they just
11:40
Speaker 1: weren't coming in. Now the last couple of weeks, a
11:43
Speaker 1: guy who has stepped up at wide receiver to help
11:46
Speaker 1: out Glennon has been the rookie Colin Johnson out of
11:49
Speaker 1: the University of Texas. We know his height six ft six.
11:52
Speaker 1: He said today his last vertical leap that he had
11:55
Speaker 1: measured was thirty eight inches, So put that on top
11:57
Speaker 1: of six ft six, he can go up and get it.
12:01
Speaker 1: And there was some conversation this week that maybe I
12:04
Speaker 1: think Doug Morone said this. You know, he's a smart guy.
12:08
Speaker 1: Maybe he was just thinking too much. Just go out
12:10
Speaker 1: and play and let your size and your ability go
12:14
Speaker 1: stand up and john feels like this is what he's
12:16
Speaker 1: done in the last couple of weeks. Yeah, it's changed
12:20
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think it's gotten a little less.
12:23
Speaker 1: Really really difficult for receivers to adjust. But the Justin
12:29
Speaker 1: Jefferson stories in the NFL are rare. It's a hard
12:33
Speaker 1: position to adapt to, especially when you remember no preseason games,
12:39
Speaker 1: no off season program. Defensive end and wide receiver. I
12:44
Speaker 1: thought it would be the two positions that really impacted.
12:47
Speaker 1: It feels like that was the case with Colin Johnson.
12:49
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes during rookie seasons, when I see observers
12:54
Speaker 1: and other media get excited about a guy, I sort
12:57
Speaker 1: of scoff a little bit and say, well, let's see
13:00
Speaker 1: this guy really be that good. I gotta be honest
13:02
Speaker 1: with you. I'm bought in on Colin Johnson more than
13:04
Speaker 1: I would be a normal rookie. The talent, the persona
13:10
Speaker 1: of this guy. I haven't met him because we're all virtual,
13:13
Speaker 1: but everything I've heard and seen from him, he might
13:17
Speaker 1: be a true sleeper pick. Usually the sleeper picks don't
13:21
Speaker 1: show this much as rookies to make you think it's
13:24
Speaker 1: for real. Bucky, I think Colin Johnson might be for real. Oh,
13:28
Speaker 1: I think he absolutely is for real. Just to give
13:30
Speaker 1: some backstory on Colin Johnson. Head into his final year
13:33
Speaker 1: of Texas, he was rated as one of the top
13:36
Speaker 1: wide receivers in the class. There were big expectations for
13:40
Speaker 1: him to make a jump. His teammate Devin Duvna basically
13:43
Speaker 1: stole his thunder, had over a hundred receptions his final
13:46
Speaker 1: year at Texas, and Colin suffered through some injuries just
13:50
Speaker 1: to get on the field and couldn't perform at a
13:53
Speaker 1: high level. But four four star recruit coming out of
13:56
Speaker 1: high school, five star had left, had athletics, is him,
14:00
Speaker 1: had leaping ability, all the things that we're seeing him
14:03
Speaker 1: do now, that is what he did very early in
14:05
Speaker 1: his career Texas. And so sometimes when we talk about
14:08
Speaker 1: a sleeper pick, a guy that is picked on day
14:11
Speaker 1: three is not necessarily he was picked on day three
14:14
Speaker 1: because he wasn't good. It's because something happened in his
14:18
Speaker 1: final year that prevented him from showing all of his talents.
14:22
Speaker 1: We're now seeing those talents on full display. And I
14:25
Speaker 1: think the Jaguars should be excited because when I think
14:27
Speaker 1: about Chark Johnson Chanot, I think this is a very
14:32
Speaker 1: very solid young wide receiver cord that you can build around. Yeahs,
14:37
Speaker 1: I don't want to jump the gun. I'm sorry, J. P. Good,
14:42
Speaker 1: I don't want to jump the gun. But can he
14:46
Speaker 1: be a one physically feeling that high? Or is it
14:51
Speaker 1: too well? I mean, I think conservatively you say he
14:54
Speaker 1: can be a two, but there's no reason why he
14:56
Speaker 1: couldn't be. If you think about Courtland's Sutton in Denver,
15:00
Speaker 1: the big body playmaker coming from s m U, I
15:03
Speaker 1: think Colin Johnson has some similarities and that I think
15:06
Speaker 1: the thing that we want to see down the stretch
15:09
Speaker 1: as he continues to make noise, how does he handle
15:12
Speaker 1: when defenses really start paying attention to him. Now, in
15:16
Speaker 1: a perfect world, maybe you have one A and one
15:18
Speaker 1: B with Johnson and Chark, and then maybe Chanalda is
15:22
Speaker 1: just your wild card playmaker. But really, when you did Jaguars,
15:26
Speaker 1: you have to feel good about the three young guys
15:28
Speaker 1: that you've been developing. Yeah, that's I think. I think
15:31
Speaker 1: we talked about on Monday nights Jaguars Happy Hour with
15:34
Speaker 1: Priscoe and BASSELLI. You know there's you don't necessarily have
15:38
Speaker 1: to have a number one guy. I don't think the
15:42
Speaker 1: Steelers have a number one, true number one receiver right now.
15:45
Speaker 1: If you have three pretty darn good receivers, you can
15:48
Speaker 1: do some things under the offensive side of the ball.
15:50
Speaker 1: Bucky Well, I mean we saw that. We saw in
15:53
Speaker 1: Minnesota Adam Feeland and Justin Jefferson they alternate responsibilities as
15:58
Speaker 1: the number one. Normally, when that happens, it's a couple
16:01
Speaker 1: of things. Either you have a excellent quarterback who is
16:05
Speaker 1: fair embalance when it comes to the distribution, or you
16:08
Speaker 1: have a system in place that just creates opportunities. Jake
16:12
Speaker 1: Gruden runs a system that's very similar to his brothers,
16:16
Speaker 1: and that system can create opportunities for you. Got to
16:19
Speaker 1: be elevated as a number one. I think he could
16:21
Speaker 1: be the perfect world with those two guys being talented
16:24
Speaker 1: and being able to kind of stake ownership in a
16:27
Speaker 1: code number one role. Alright, guys, let's come back. We'll
16:31
Speaker 1: preview the running back matchup this week Derrick Henry, the
16:35
Speaker 1: league's leading rusher, and James Robinson, number three on the
16:39
Speaker 1: league's rushing list this year. A little later, for thirty,
16:43
Speaker 1: Jemmy Luck will join us as well. We'll play Big
16:45
Speaker 1: Game Jaguar before the day is done. Also, Jaguars Happy

Speaker 1: and John Osher. The Jags and the division rival Titans
19:22
Speaker 1: coming up Sunday at t i A A Bank Field
19:24
Speaker 1: at one o'clock kickoff time. The game presented by p
19:27
Speaker 1: r I Productions. And you know we did not mention
19:32
Speaker 1: James Robinson in the opening segment, so let's get to
19:35
Speaker 1: him now. It's a great running back matchup this week.
19:37
Speaker 1: James Robinson, of course, the third in the league in
19:40
Speaker 1: rushing and just continues to churn out yardage both on
19:45
Speaker 1: the ground and through the air. You see his numbers
19:47
Speaker 1: there at four point six yard per carry average this year.
19:51
Speaker 1: And as we've said on here before, he's he's always
19:53
Speaker 1: going forward. Of the two twelve carries, only twelve are
19:58
Speaker 1: for negative yardage. Now he only had one negative rush
20:01
Speaker 1: last week. And he's a steel. He's been a steel
20:05
Speaker 1: all year. And John, I think you said it earlier
20:07
Speaker 1: in the season. You know, he's not good for a rookie,
20:10
Speaker 1: He's not good for an undrafted player. He's just a
20:13
Speaker 1: good running back and he's a guy you can build
20:16
Speaker 1: around for the long term. Here it feels like, yeah,
20:19
Speaker 1: I have a question for the scout at the end
20:21
Speaker 1: of this, obviously because I love kicking Bucky's brain, But
20:26
Speaker 1: to me, what Doug said today about James Robinson is
20:31
Speaker 1: the most amazing thing about him. The consistency week to week.
20:36
Speaker 1: He has never really had a bad game with the Jaguars.
20:40
Speaker 1: He's had a few games where he hasn't been as
20:41
Speaker 1: productive when early in the season they couldn't quite get
20:45
Speaker 1: to him because they were so far behind they didn't
20:47
Speaker 1: quite know what he was. But he's never been unproductive
20:50
Speaker 1: and at four point six, it's amazing how you can
20:52
Speaker 1: keep that thing around four point five when you never
20:55
Speaker 1: have any negative What strikes me, and I haven't examine
21:01
Speaker 1: the defenses enough to know how right this is, but
21:04
Speaker 1: he's having this kind of a year without any breakaway runs,
21:09
Speaker 1: so he doesn't pat it with eighty five yard run.
21:12
Speaker 1: It's just consistency, and it seems he must be doing
21:15
Speaker 1: against stacked defenses at this point, Bucky. That's the question.
21:21
Speaker 1: How much our teams stacking and designing things to stop
21:25
Speaker 1: him now and how good has he been against that
21:27
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars offensive line. Frankly, he's been good in
21:30
Speaker 1: the old line has been good when they've been able
21:31
Speaker 1: to run the football. I think the best part of
21:33
Speaker 1: the Jaguars offense has been their running game and their
21:36
Speaker 1: ability to set up some complimentary play passes. James Robinson
21:39
Speaker 1: is as good as advertised. He's even better than you
21:42
Speaker 1: can imagine as an undrafted free agent when you dig
21:45
Speaker 1: into his background, I think what we're seeing is past
21:48
Speaker 1: performance does predict future success. He gained nine thousand yards
21:53
Speaker 1: in high school, two thousand yards his final season in college.
21:56
Speaker 1: He comes to the league, he exceeds all expectations when
22:00
Speaker 1: is the starting job before we even get to the field,
22:02
Speaker 1: and he has played like a high level pick and
22:05
Speaker 1: so the production has always been there. His ability to
22:09
Speaker 1: sense what is needed is beyond his experience and his
22:13
Speaker 1: his years in the league. And so when I hear
22:16
Speaker 1: twelve negative runs over the course of a season, that's
22:20
Speaker 1: remarkable because when you don't lose yardage, it is a
22:23
Speaker 1: huge benefit to the offense. It also encourages the offensive
22:26
Speaker 1: coordinated to give you the ball more. And his steady
22:30
Speaker 1: and consistent production has really been a bright spot to
22:34
Speaker 1: this offense. I can't imagine how good he can be
22:37
Speaker 1: when you fix some of the offensive line issues and
22:39
Speaker 1: surrounded with a quarterback that can consistently make big plays.
22:43
Speaker 1: This guy is very, really, really talented, And as he
22:47
Speaker 1: said last week, you know, it's the equivalent of a
22:50
Speaker 1: college season right now. And I think John we touched
22:52
Speaker 1: on this last week too. You know, it doesn't feel
22:54
Speaker 1: like he's gonna slow down. I mean, we hear about
22:57
Speaker 1: the rookie wall and all that all the time, but
23:00
Speaker 1: with this guy and the way he prepares and goes
23:01
Speaker 1: about his business, it doesn't feel like that's going to
23:04
Speaker 1: happen for him. Well, you wouldn't think. He's only got
23:07
Speaker 1: four games left and you haven't seen signs of it yet.
23:10
Speaker 1: And I've thrown out the MTT Smith analogy. I had
23:14
Speaker 1: a reader throwout a good one a couple of weeks ago,
23:16
Speaker 1: maybe Curtis Martin. These guys who aren't necessarily spectacular, but
23:21
Speaker 1: they never seem to take hit that their body doesn't
23:24
Speaker 1: wear down. To me, you know, you talk about a
23:27
Speaker 1: quarterback having field vision and football sent that's how James
23:33
Speaker 1: Robinson runs. He runs like he knows where more defenders
23:38
Speaker 1: are then most running backs do, and he's got great
23:42
Speaker 1: vision with it. For all those reasons, I don't see
23:45
Speaker 1: him slowing down because nothing has been flukey. He doesn't
23:49
Speaker 1: have any games where like I'm not knocking Leonard four Nette,
23:53
Speaker 1: but some of four Nette's big games with the Jaguars were,
23:57
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen yards, I mean of team Carris for
24:00
Speaker 1: twenty yards and then a sixty five yard right. Well,
24:04
Speaker 1: James Robinson doesn't have any of that. All of his
24:06
Speaker 1: are eight or seven, six, one two. That's consistency, and
24:12
Speaker 1: I don't think you need fluke to do that. I
24:14
Speaker 1: don't see him slowing down. Now. I will say this.
24:20
Speaker 1: You brought up Curtis Morton, which I think is a great,
24:24
Speaker 1: uh example of comparison. How about I throw out Frank
24:27
Speaker 1: Gore because when you look at Frank Gore and you
24:30
Speaker 1: look at their body types, they're very very similar. Um.
24:32
Speaker 1: I think he's a more natural pass catcher than Curtis Martin.
24:35
Speaker 1: I think that's where the Frank Gore comes from. And
24:38
Speaker 1: I'm talking about vintage Frank Gore two thousand, uh five,
24:42
Speaker 1: six seven and into two thousand's when he's really kind
24:46
Speaker 1: of getting to going. I think James Robinson has some
24:48
Speaker 1: of that building. I think if you're a decision making
24:51
Speaker 1: as you're building your team, I think you feel great
24:53
Speaker 1: about your number one by the running back. Now it's
24:56
Speaker 1: about how can we build the rest of this offense
24:59
Speaker 1: to make sure that we have a running game that
25:01
Speaker 1: highlights and elevates him while having a passing game that
25:05
Speaker 1: um elevates and accinuates whatever the quarterback is able to
25:10
Speaker 1: do whenever we bring that guy in. All right, we
25:14
Speaker 1: moved from James Robinson to the other side of the
25:17
Speaker 1: ball for the Jags last week. The Jaguars defense I
25:20
Speaker 1: think played pretty well in general in that game. Dalvin Cooked,
25:25
Speaker 1: the second leading rusher in the NFL last week, was
25:28
Speaker 1: held to yards. You say, held to a hundred twenty yards,
25:32
Speaker 1: but over thirty two care he's at three point eight average.
25:35
Speaker 1: They didn't really let him break away for any big
25:38
Speaker 1: runs as long as run in the game was twelve yards.
25:41
Speaker 1: And he's a guy that can explode on you and
25:44
Speaker 1: go for long distances. Well, speaking of guys who can
25:47
Speaker 1: explode and go long distances, Derrick Henry comes to town
25:51
Speaker 1: this week and he's the league's leading rusher, and we
25:55
Speaker 1: know firsthand what can happen when he breaks contained, get
26:00
Speaker 1: outside against little guys and starts pushing them around with
26:03
Speaker 1: his left and right hand and running down the field.
26:06
Speaker 1: That's when he's really dangerous, obviously. Uh And and you know,
26:10
Speaker 1: I think earlier in the year this was a different
26:12
Speaker 1: defense back in Week two obviously, John, But their focused
26:15
Speaker 1: certainly early in the season was to slow down the
26:17
Speaker 1: run in general, and then they made that a focal
26:20
Speaker 1: point in the week to game against Tennessee and they
26:22
Speaker 1: held him pretty pretty tight in that game, carries for
26:26
Speaker 1: eighty four yards. John, Yeah, and it felt sort of
26:31
Speaker 1: similar to some other Jaguars games in the sense that
26:34
Speaker 1: a conservat effort to stop the run, a very good
26:37
Speaker 1: job doing it, and then at the end of that game,
26:39
Speaker 1: Henry kind of got some of his which he's gonna do.
26:42
Speaker 1: What's concerning about Henry this week? To me? With the
26:44
Speaker 1: Jaguars for the last couple of weeks, you've seen a
26:47
Speaker 1: little bit of a pattern which isn't surprising against Cleveland
26:52
Speaker 1: good run defense, good run defense, and then in the
26:54
Speaker 1: second half it got away from him because Cleveland kept
26:57
Speaker 1: doing what they did. Minnesota sort of did the same
26:59
Speaker 1: thing at stop Dalvin Cook. I don't think he was
27:02
Speaker 1: as good against the Jaguars as the Browns word and in
27:04
Speaker 1: in overtime, the stamina of the Jaguars defensive line, the stoutness,
27:09
Speaker 1: sort of gave way. That's why it happens when you're
27:12
Speaker 1: thin and not deep enough and not stout enough up
27:15
Speaker 1: front of the defensive interior. That happened a lot to
27:17
Speaker 1: the Jaguars last year. It feels like that's a danger
27:21
Speaker 1: this year because I mean this week, Titans aren't gonna
27:25
Speaker 1: stop running Derrick Henry. They're gonna keep running hi and
27:28
Speaker 1: running him and running him. In the fourth quarter, when
27:31
Speaker 1: that stamina goes down, that's when it could get very
27:34
Speaker 1: dangerous against Derrick Henry. He's a very dangerous runner, and
27:38
Speaker 1: the best thing that you can do for those kind
27:40
Speaker 1: of runners you gotta stop him in their tracks. He
27:43
Speaker 1: is a guy that needs a bit of a room
27:44
Speaker 1: way to get going. He's a long strider um in
27:48
Speaker 1: my day, I would say he's very reminiscent of Eddie George,
27:51
Speaker 1: and so you have to attack those guys at the
27:54
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. The worst thing that you can do
27:56
Speaker 1: with Derrick Kenny has let him get to the second
27:58
Speaker 1: level clean because no one wants to have to come
28:00
Speaker 1: up and tackle a two two and fifty pounds back
28:04
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. And the reason why
28:07
Speaker 1: you see him have so much success in the second half.
28:11
Speaker 1: When you run the ball with Derrick Henry, it's is
28:14
Speaker 1: similar to fighting a boxer who just wants to hit
28:17
Speaker 1: you with a bunch of body blows. And in the
28:19
Speaker 1: first half you don't really sense anything. But as we
28:22
Speaker 1: get into those later rounds, those body blows move you
28:25
Speaker 1: around a little bit. Defensive backs don't want to have
28:28
Speaker 1: to tackle the big guy in the third and fourth quarter.
28:31
Speaker 1: It is just a physical nightmare. And so if you
28:35
Speaker 1: can stop him early, if you can get a lead,
28:37
Speaker 1: if you can take that out of the equation, that's
28:39
Speaker 1: the best way to thwart the Tennessee Titan. Now. Of course,
28:45
Speaker 1: when Derrick Henry runs the ball as effectively as he can,
28:49
Speaker 1: that opens up the passing game for Tennessee and Ryan
28:51
Speaker 1: Tannehill has been a huge part of their success of
28:53
Speaker 1: course this season the way he has played at the
28:56
Speaker 1: quarterback position. You see his numbers there, he's right on
29:00
Speaker 1: target to jump above three thousand yards this week. Uh
29:03
Speaker 1: touchdown interception ratio is fantastic. He's been over a hundred
29:08
Speaker 1: rating in eight games this year. But it works in tandem, right, guys.
29:12
Speaker 1: I mean, if if you have the run game established,
29:15
Speaker 1: you can play action off of that. John and Tannehill
29:18
Speaker 1: has a second life as a quarterback of the NFL
29:20
Speaker 1: now in Tennessee. Yeah, he fits what they do. A. J.
29:27
Speaker 1: Brown is also really good. Corey Davis is coming along.
29:31
Speaker 1: They have a really good, really tough offense to stop.
29:34
Speaker 1: I think it's important not to overlook how good Tanny
29:38
Speaker 1: Hill has been at times. It's really not just the
29:41
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry show. There have been times where Tanny Hill
29:43
Speaker 1: carries him more concerning for the Titans. I think we'll
29:47
Speaker 1: get to this in a second. Their defense is not
29:50
Speaker 1: what they hoped it would be. It's not a Tennessee
29:52
Speaker 1: defense like you're used to seeing that stout, toughness, the
29:56
Speaker 1: great pass rush. Offensively, though, if they don't get behind
30:00
Speaker 1: like they did last week, once they get ahead, they're
30:03
Speaker 1: brutal to stop because they have so many weapons. You
30:06
Speaker 1: can't bunch up on one thing against this team. To me,
30:08
Speaker 1: A J. Brown maybe one of the more underrated receivers
30:11
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Yeah, Johnny, you hit the nail on
30:16
Speaker 1: the head. This is a very balanced, Uh offense. A
30:19
Speaker 1: J Brown is terrific. Uh. You didn't mention Johnny Smith,
30:23
Speaker 1: But Johnny Smith is another fantastic player. And I think
30:26
Speaker 1: the thing that you want to watch Ryan Tannehill is
30:29
Speaker 1: outstanding off play action. But when he throws off play action,
30:32
Speaker 1: he wants to attack the seams. Because the Jaguars have
30:35
Speaker 1: traditionally been a Cover three or a single high safety
30:39
Speaker 1: man team. Those seams are the first thing that you
30:42
Speaker 1: look for when you're facing those defenses. It is important
30:46
Speaker 1: that the second level defenders do a great job of
30:49
Speaker 1: playing with eyes and vision. They have to cut off
30:51
Speaker 1: those big plays because if they can run it and
30:54
Speaker 1: generate the explosive plays, you have a tough time of
30:56
Speaker 1: slowing down this Tennessee Titans offense. That's why we've seen
31:00
Speaker 1: over the years some Tennessee Titans tight ends have some
31:03
Speaker 1: big games against this Jaguars team. John Smith had two
31:07
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the game back in Week two, if you remember,
31:10
Speaker 1: and Smith was inactive last week. I think he had
31:12
Speaker 1: a knee issue. We'll see what his status is for
31:15
Speaker 1: the game. Moving ahead, let's come back in a moment.
31:17
Speaker 1: We'll touch on the Jaguars defense. Are the Titans defense

Speaker 1: We're gonna zations that they paint for their cleats to
35:02
Speaker 1: to represent. This is the home game for it, so
35:05
Speaker 1: the Jags will wear there's this week. How much is
35:07
Speaker 1: the equipment staff involved in that? I know Adrian Roca
35:10
Speaker 1: from the Foundation has a big hand in this as well,
35:13
Speaker 1: But if it involves cleats, it involves you guys too, Yeah,
35:18
Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean Adrian obviously does the heavy lifting.
35:21
Speaker 1: This is one of his you know things that foundation does. Um,
35:25
Speaker 1: you know, it brings a lot of awareness to players,
35:28
Speaker 1: foundations and stuff. So Adrill works a lot with the
35:31
Speaker 1: players and gets all that done. We basically just make
35:34
Speaker 1: sure they've got the shoes that they want and we
35:36
Speaker 1: get him to him and you know, he gets with
35:38
Speaker 1: the players with what they want on there. Um, we'll
35:41
Speaker 1: give him some feedback a little bit from prior years. Um,
35:45
Speaker 1: you know, we try to help him out by getting
35:46
Speaker 1: like a like an all white shoe, maybe a little
35:48
Speaker 1: easier to paint. Um. But again, you know, like I said,
35:51
Speaker 1: he he does all that, and you know, hats off
35:53
Speaker 1: to him for getting all that together. So you know,
35:59
Speaker 1: this is one where you're coming back home and it's
36:02
Speaker 1: December and the weather forecast this week, what are we
36:06
Speaker 1: looking at? Should be pretty nice? Um? You know this
36:11
Speaker 1: is I guess the at least I feel like some
36:13
Speaker 1: of the best times, you know, a little cooler in
36:15
Speaker 1: the morning, not too hot in the afternoon. Um. I
36:18
Speaker 1: think it's supposed to be around mid seventies, right in
36:20
Speaker 1: the middle of the cool front we got now and
36:23
Speaker 1: one coming in after but we should be okay, maybe
36:26
Speaker 1: a few clouds, um, tiny percent chance of rain, but
36:30
Speaker 1: it should be a nice day out there at the bank.
36:33
Speaker 1: I like that. Coming up Sunday, Week fourteen, the Jaguars
36:36
Speaker 1: and the Tennessee Titans. My clause, my cleats week. Now,
36:40
Speaker 1: have you have we gone through every possible combination of
36:44
Speaker 1: uniform this year? Or what's left on the on the
36:47
Speaker 1: sheet that we haven't got to yet? Um, there's uh,
36:51
Speaker 1: I guess we've got one more we haven't we haven't
36:54
Speaker 1: done yet that we may get to a little further
36:56
Speaker 1: down the road. We hadn't done the white jerseys in
36:59
Speaker 1: the teal pants yet. Um, so we we may see
37:02
Speaker 1: that at some point soon. I'm not sure yet there.
37:10
Speaker 1: I must say there was a buzz John after last
37:12
Speaker 1: week's appearance on the ear by Jimmy on social media
37:16
Speaker 1: about the the whole idea of possible changes in the
37:19
Speaker 1: next year too. I mean, I didn't have any tweets
37:22
Speaker 1: the rest of the week to blew up like that
37:23
Speaker 1: one did, John. That was huge. Well, people like uniforms, man,
37:29
Speaker 1: and they like Jenny, but they like what he does.
37:32
Speaker 1: I am. I really don't like all the changing uniforms.
37:39
Speaker 1: I'm not that guy. I kind of wish just stick
37:44
Speaker 1: with it and stick with you. I would. I like
37:47
Speaker 1: Alabama's uniforms JP just the old school stuff. But then again,
37:50
Speaker 1: I'm old, So I'm fine. Jenny. You keep doing what
37:54
Speaker 1: you do. I like you eat. People don't. Well, I
37:58
Speaker 1: appreciate that, and uh like I say, I don't, I don't.
38:02
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to create a buzz. I just said
38:04
Speaker 1: it was, you know, a possibility. I don't know where
38:06
Speaker 1: all that stands, but um, you know, well, we've got
38:10
Speaker 1: what we got this year and then whatever happens in
38:12
Speaker 1: the offseason, you know, happens. Uh, but yeah, we're um,
38:17
Speaker 1: you know, this back half of the season wearing black
38:19
Speaker 1: at home. So but we'll see what happens in the future.
38:22
Speaker 1: He's really back in from really then back in from
38:27
Speaker 1: last week. That's okay, that's okay, all right, let's get
38:30
Speaker 1: to this week the Jaguars and the Tennessee Titans Division.
38:34
Speaker 1: I mean, we've gotta keep the show going for next
38:36
Speaker 1: year and everything, so we gotta dangle some carrots. I
38:40
Speaker 1: like that. Yes, you know you you bumped the bait
38:42
Speaker 1: a little bit and see what bites it makes sense. Hey,
38:44
Speaker 1: let's get into this week's game. And what will the
38:47
Speaker 1: Jaguars wear this week? Jimmy please? All right? So since
38:51
Speaker 1: we're at home, and like I said earlier, we've got
38:53
Speaker 1: the back half we're so we're going with the black
38:56
Speaker 1: black jerseys. Colin Johnson had a big game last week,
39:00
Speaker 1: big game, Jack, he did, and the players really liked it.
39:05
Speaker 1: So we're gonna roll back with the black and black.
39:08
Speaker 1: So they were pretty fired up about that last week.
39:11
Speaker 1: So we'll go back on black on black. Very nice
39:16
Speaker 1: and yes, it's a good choice this week Colin Johnson
39:19
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks have stepped out and played pretty
39:21
Speaker 1: well for the Jags. A big threat down the field,
39:23
Speaker 1: big height and the leaping ability and everything. So there
39:26
Speaker 1: you have it, black on black, Jimmy, Happy early birthday tomorrow,
39:31
Speaker 1: enjoy the day. And they had it black on black.
39:35

42:09
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, John Oser, thanks to Jimmy Luck for joining us.
42:14
Speaker 1: Let's let's touch on the Titans defense. We've we we
42:17
Speaker 1: mentioned them in passing John, I know you did. This
42:20
Speaker 1: is a group that had uh Jadeveon Clowney of course,
42:24
Speaker 1: but he's banged up now. They had Vic Beasley as well.
42:27
Speaker 1: They paid what twenty three million dollars, Bucky for both
42:31
Speaker 1: those guys and got zero sacks out of those guys.
42:35
Speaker 1: What's going on with the defense in Tennessee, Bucky, they
42:38
Speaker 1: look destruct. They're just they have an inability to generate
42:42
Speaker 1: pressure and some of what we saw in Cleveland knocking
42:46
Speaker 1: off the Titans had to do with um Baker. Mayfield
42:50
Speaker 1: was pressured on only one of thirty three dropbacks, and
42:53
Speaker 1: so when you wanted how you put up those numbers,
42:55
Speaker 1: it's because he basically was throwing seven on seven. He
42:58
Speaker 1: didn't feel the past. Uh, they don't have the ability
43:01
Speaker 1: to get home, and so this is really a great
43:03
Speaker 1: opportunity for Jacksonville to tear it out a little bit.
43:06
Speaker 1: The Tennessee Titians have been able to mask their defense
43:09
Speaker 1: by being great on offense, controlling the clock, using the
43:13
Speaker 1: running game and those things. But if you can even
43:16
Speaker 1: the terms and slow down their offense and make this
43:19
Speaker 1: defense really have to play, and I would say gotta
43:22
Speaker 1: have a situations. They've proven time and time again they
43:25
Speaker 1: do not have the ability to get home, and that
43:28
Speaker 1: is very problematic for a team that is also a
43:30
Speaker 1: little leaky in the back end. John is not good
43:34
Speaker 1: news for a postseason run that they're going to get
43:37
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, right, especially in the a f C. Now,
43:41
Speaker 1: and you can do it that way outscoring everybody, it's
43:45
Speaker 1: hard to do it that way two or three times
43:49
Speaker 1: in a row. I think their last, if I'm not mistaken,
43:52
Speaker 1: their last in the league in third down defense, Well,
43:56
Speaker 1: that goes hand in hand with not being anna rush
43:58
Speaker 1: the pastor. That's usually a co joined stat if you will.
44:02
Speaker 1: They knew in the off season they needed help there.
44:04
Speaker 1: It's why easily Clowney who were both mus say reaches,
44:09
Speaker 1: but they were they were concerns about both entering free
44:12
Speaker 1: agency for US, they wouldn't have lasted that long, and
44:14
Speaker 1: Clowney in particular. Um, you know, I don't know how
44:18
Speaker 1: much it will help the Jaguars, because the Jaguars I
44:21
Speaker 1: don't think they can match up score for score against
44:24
Speaker 1: the Titans, but it's certainly would stand a reason that
44:27
Speaker 1: Glennon should have some more time and these receivers should
44:30
Speaker 1: have time to get open down field against this Tennessee
44:32
Speaker 1: pass rush. Alright, guys, it's time for big game jag war.
44:38
Speaker 1: We play it every week. You love it, you can't
44:41
Speaker 1: miss it. You gotta have it. Let's get yours, Bucky,
44:43
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Well, I'm gonna I'm
44:45
Speaker 1: gonna go out on the limb and I'm i gotta
44:47
Speaker 1: surprispect for everybody this week. I'm gonna go with James Robinson.
44:51
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with I'm saying they need to have
44:53
Speaker 1: a big game out of James Robinson and the reason
44:56
Speaker 1: why he needs to show up big is because if
44:59
Speaker 1: he is running the rock effectively, it allows the Jaguars
45:02
Speaker 1: to play keep away from a dangerous Tennessee Titans offense.
45:06
Speaker 1: James Robinson big game, he has to have one. That's
45:12
Speaker 1: a that's a shocker in my book, John, what do
45:15
Speaker 1: you got for us? JP? First, I'm gonna go some
45:18
Speaker 1: other Bucky uh great picks. He's got the Chiefs in
45:21
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, the Lakers in the NBA Championship. So
45:26
Speaker 1: he he's a visionary, is what Bucky is. The offices
45:30
Speaker 1: go with the brand names, invest in brand names, that's right,
45:36
Speaker 1: and the Yankees in the World Series every year. So
45:40
Speaker 1: I believe I went with Colin Johnson JP, and frankly,
45:43
Speaker 1: this isn't that much more out there than Bucky's, so
45:47
Speaker 1: I'll take the grief. I think he is a guy
45:52
Speaker 1: who is starting to show that he has a chance
45:54
Speaker 1: to be productive every week. I'm not saying hundred herds.
45:56
Speaker 1: He hasn't done that yet, but the last couple of
45:58
Speaker 1: weeks he has had Big Lay's downfield. He's starting to
46:01
Speaker 1: figure out how to do that against this pass rush,
46:05
Speaker 1: against this defense. You know, I don't think the Jaguars
46:08
Speaker 1: have enough firepower to win it. I do think Colin
46:11
Speaker 1: Johnson has enough ability, and he's starting to peek a
46:14
Speaker 1: little bit. He's gonna have big plays and may even
46:17
Speaker 1: get a couple of touchdowns in this game. All Right,
46:21
Speaker 1: there you have it. I'm gonna go on the defensive
46:23
Speaker 1: side of the ball, and considering the way this Titans
46:26
Speaker 1: offense can do things to you, I'm gonna go with
46:29
Speaker 1: Joe Scholbert, the guy who calls the defense, the guy
46:32
Speaker 1: in the middle on the second level. You gotta be
46:35
Speaker 1: in the right gaps, of course, and and keep Derrick
46:38
Speaker 1: Henry contained and hit him in the backfield and do
46:40
Speaker 1: all that so he's responsible for that. Uh And then
46:44
Speaker 1: as Bucky, as you said, protect down the seams as well.
46:48
Speaker 1: John Smith today, by the way, was limited with that
46:51
Speaker 1: knee issue at practice, so we'll see if he's back
46:54
Speaker 1: this week for Tennessee. But I'm going Joe Cholbert because
46:57
Speaker 1: he needs a big game, and this defense obviously needs
47:01
Speaker 1: a big game in containing Henry, defending the scene, and
47:05
Speaker 1: they have a big game. Jaguar is in the books.
47:08
Speaker 1: James Robinson, Colin Johnson, and Joe Scholbert were really dug
47:11
Speaker 1: deep in this episode today we're a big game Jaguars.
47:15
Speaker 1: Let's yeah, we did, Bucky were digging deep. We've got
47:18
Speaker 1: what three more of these to go where we're gonna
47:21
Speaker 1: dig even deeper down the stretch. I think yes, when
47:26
Speaker 1: you're it's okay, We'll take it. Let's finish today's show.
47:30
Speaker 1: On a sad note. Our colleague, Mike Perkins works for
47:34
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's the director of video for lack
47:37
Speaker 1: of a better term, he's the Mr. Everything over on
47:40
Speaker 1: the football side. He's been here since day one of
47:42
Speaker 1: the organization. His father is Ray Perkins, and Ray passed
47:48
Speaker 1: away last night at the age of seventy nine. He
47:52
Speaker 1: was what formerly was an end back in the old days,
47:57
Speaker 1: wide receiver at the University of Alabama. Then he played
48:00
Speaker 1: in the National Football League with the Baltimore Colts under
48:05
Speaker 1: Don Shula. He was the head coach of the Giants
48:07
Speaker 1: from seventy nine to eighty two. He hired Parcels and
48:11
Speaker 1: Belichick about that, then came to Alabama as the head
48:14
Speaker 1: coach after Bear Bryant left there to go to Tampa Bay.
48:17
Speaker 1: Was an offensive coordinator in New England in the early nineties,
48:21
Speaker 1: Brown's assistant in ninety nine and two thousand when the
48:23
Speaker 1: franchise came back. But our our condolences to the Perkins family.
48:28
Speaker 1: Ray passed away last night. I found this in my
48:31
Speaker 1: little collection here from nineteen sixty six, the game program
48:36
Speaker 1: for the Alabama LSU game, number eighty eight, Ray Perkins
48:39
Speaker 1: on the cover. This was the year that Ray was
48:42
Speaker 1: an All America end for Bear Bryant and the quarterback
48:47
Speaker 1: was Steve Sloan that year after before that it was
48:52
Speaker 1: Joe Namath, after that it was Kenny Stabler. But I
48:54
Speaker 1: just found that interesting. I found it today and wanted
48:57
Speaker 1: to show it off on the show. Ray Perkins at
48:59
Speaker 1: seventy nine to what a mind he was in football,
49:02
Speaker 1: Bucky absolutely gray mind. Um. To me, he's synonymous with Alabama.
49:07
Speaker 1: I think about being a kid watching those Alabama teams. Yes,
49:10
Speaker 1: I remember him in the National Football League and he
49:13
Speaker 1: certainly will go down from his time with the Giants.
49:15
Speaker 1: As a kid watching Lawrence Taylor play there with the Giants. Um,
49:19
Speaker 1: it's something to behold. But yeah, great man. Um. My
49:22
Speaker 1: heart goes out to Mike and his family on the
49:25
Speaker 1: loss of the dead, because that is a devastating loss
49:29
Speaker 1: and and John Perkins. Both guys have given their lives
49:34
Speaker 1: and families to football. So again, Mike Perkins, great guys,
49:37
Speaker 1: shout out to or hearts go out to him. Thoughts
49:40
Speaker 1: are with him obviously. Alright, guys, great show, appreciate it.
49:45
Speaker 1: Bucky will talk to you soon. John, We'll talk to
49:47
Speaker 1: you even sooner. And we'll talk to everybody again next week.
