- 0:00Speaker 1: NOD drive time. So so get ready and bear with
- 0:06Speaker 1: we are honored it. Let's get into big things getting
- 0:12Speaker 1: into week four of the regular season, and Big Thing
- 0:15Speaker 1: one is here we go question mark big news in
- 0:19Speaker 1: the NFL yesterday as the Tennessee Titans are dealing with
- 0:22Speaker 1: some positive COVID test, three players, five staff members testing positive.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Titans in Minnesota, Vikings shutting down their facility yesterday as
- 0:32Speaker 1: they played last week, and the Titans getting ready for
- 0:34Speaker 1: a game on Sunday against the Steelers. It's reported that
- 0:37Speaker 1: they're not allowed back in the facility until Saturday. A
- 0:41Speaker 1: constant reminder if we even forgot that this COVID is
- 0:44Speaker 1: still around, we still to take it seriously. If the
- 0:47Speaker 1: day everyone has kind of been waiting for, is there
- 0:49Speaker 1: going to be an outbreak in the NFL. This appears
- 0:52Speaker 1: to be something sort of like that, so we'll definitely
- 0:54Speaker 1: monitor that closely going forward. Big thing too is better
- 0:58Speaker 1: believe that Joe Burr off to a great start, drown
- 1:02Speaker 1: for two touchdown passes last week and a tie against
- 1:05Speaker 1: the Eagles. The secondary for Jacksonville will be tested no
- 1:09Speaker 1: doubt going into this week. However, d J. Hayden is
- 1:12Speaker 1: taking a more simple approach going into Week four. Oh May,
- 1:16Speaker 1: we're gonna have to locky ann strap up, get some
- 1:18Speaker 1: pass break ups, get some turnovers, you know, make them uncomfortable,
- 1:22Speaker 1: and get some sacks. You know, we just gotta it's
- 1:25Speaker 1: got a ball out, man. We just you know, the
- 1:27Speaker 1: last two weeks we didn't really get it done, so
- 1:29Speaker 1: we gotta get it done this week. And finally, Big
- 1:34Speaker 1: Thing three is the underdog. The Jags are three point
- 1:37Speaker 1: underdog going into this Cincinnati game. It's the first time
- 1:40Speaker 1: this season that the Bengals have been favorite in the game.
- 1:44Speaker 1: But honestly, I think we all could agree that might
- 1:46Speaker 1: be Okay, We're starting to think this team and especially
- 1:49Speaker 1: that guy Gardner Minshew, kind of like to be the
- 1:51Speaker 1: underdogs going into games. They were favorite against the Miami Dolphins.
- 1:55Speaker 1: That's definitely didn't turn out in their favor. So we'll
- 1:58Speaker 1: see if this is a kind of a tree ran,
- 2:00Speaker 1: if they're the underdoge going into the game, they played
- 2:02Speaker 1: better with a chip on their shoulders. Let's go back
- 2:05Speaker 1: up to Big Thing one. That is the biggest news
- 2:07Speaker 1: around the league and in the country a lot of
- 2:09Speaker 1: times for today. So Brian Sexton, it's kind of the day. Sadly,
- 2:13Speaker 1: we all were thinking could happen. There were times were like,
- 2:15Speaker 1: you know what, this might not happen, but it took
- 2:18Speaker 1: until week four of the season for for more positive
- 2:20Speaker 1: tests to come up. Well, if you just look at
- 2:24Speaker 1: the landscape of football in general, and you've seen college
- 2:26Speaker 1: games postponed, you know, Baylor in Houston and Notre Dame
- 2:30Speaker 1: and Wake Forest and my son goes to f AU
- 2:34Speaker 1: and they still haven't played a game. They've backed it
- 2:36Speaker 1: up a couple of times. So the reality of it
- 2:39Speaker 1: is is that in the game played like football in
- 2:42Speaker 1: close quarters, it was bound to happen. You know, I
- 2:45Speaker 1: think we've all given rightly praised to get to this
- 2:49Speaker 1: point without it happening, and now all of a sudden
- 2:52Speaker 1: they're gonna have to deal with it. So we'll see,
- 2:53Speaker 1: you know, just how prepared they Obviously the commissioner sent
- 2:57Speaker 1: out that now well reported memo to league executives saying
- 3:02Speaker 1: that they expected this and we'll see if they've got
- 3:05Speaker 1: it nailed down. What I'm interested to see is a
- 3:08Speaker 1: what they do with the Titan Steelers game on Sunday?
- 3:11Speaker 1: Did they move it to Monday night? Which has happened
- 3:13Speaker 1: many times, whether it's a hurricane or the Metro Dome
- 3:16Speaker 1: in Minneapolis deflating, or a snowstorm in Philadelphia, they've moved
- 3:20Speaker 1: games to Monday night before. Do they try that or
- 3:23Speaker 1: do they wait and try to move it back in
- 3:25Speaker 1: the schedule where they've made some adjustments in this thing. Um,
- 3:29Speaker 1: I'm interested in how they respond. Agreed, and it's looking
- 3:36Speaker 1: like the trend is anything but normal. So John, right now,
- 3:39Speaker 1: the news is that they're still trying to play the
- 3:41Speaker 1: game on Sunday. Tennessee can't come back into the facility
- 3:45Speaker 1: till Saturday. They're going to do virtual work and see
- 3:47Speaker 1: what happens. But do you expect this game to happen
- 3:50Speaker 1: on Sunday? I mean, as of right now, that seems
- 3:52Speaker 1: incredibly optimistic. Well, if there's no other day, again this
- 3:58Speaker 1: is from AFAR, no inside information. If there's no other
- 4:02Speaker 1: positives and the situation doesn't change, I absolutely expect to
- 4:06Speaker 1: play it Sunday. Because of a couple of things I
- 4:08Speaker 1: read last night that we're interesting, I think shed some
- 4:11Speaker 1: light on it. The league knew coming into this or
- 4:15Speaker 1: expected that there was going to be some cases where
- 4:18Speaker 1: maybe one team had less preparation time than another. There's
- 4:22Speaker 1: talk the Titans may not practice until maybe Saturday. The
- 4:25Speaker 1: league knew and teams were informed evidently that hey, there
- 4:29Speaker 1: might be some inequities in terms of how you prepare.
- 4:33Speaker 1: We're getting this COVID thing in. I'd be very surprised
- 4:36Speaker 1: if just if just I'm not saying it lightly, but
- 4:39Speaker 1: for three players being on the COVID list, three absences,
- 4:43Speaker 1: I'd be very surprised if they don't try to play,
- 4:46Speaker 1: because moving forward, the league's gonna try to get this
- 4:49Speaker 1: thing in if it's safe, if if a couple of
- 4:52Speaker 1: teams are down in terms of how they prepare, or
- 4:54Speaker 1: if there are some inconveniences at the facility. They expected that.
- 4:58Speaker 1: This is sort of back to maybe in July and
- 5:01Speaker 1: August when it was like, how are we going to
- 5:02Speaker 1: get this in? It's been calm so far. This may
- 5:06Speaker 1: not look calm going forward, but they're going to try
- 5:09Speaker 1: to get this. And I don't think they cancel her
- 5:11Speaker 1: postponed this week because they still need contingency plans going forward.
- 5:15Speaker 1: If they already do it for this, they run out
- 5:18Speaker 1: later on. So yeah, I think they play on Sunday well,
- 5:22Speaker 1: and it's going to start a trend, And what's been
- 5:25Speaker 1: left off this is that Minnesota also now they've had
- 5:28Speaker 1: no positive tests yet. Uh, they're out of their facility
- 5:32Speaker 1: and they're supposed to play in Houston, So you know
- 5:35Speaker 1: that could rise over the next couple of days and
- 5:37Speaker 1: further complicate this. One other thing I think that bears
- 5:40Speaker 1: mentioned in Ashlyn, and that is the Steelers have had
- 5:44Speaker 1: no positives. They're going to get a plane and go
- 5:47Speaker 1: to Nashville and play against the Titans, where obviously COVID
- 5:51Speaker 1: has been an issue. So how are those players going
- 5:54Speaker 1: to respond. Mike Tomlin was very forceful though it apparity
- 5:58Speaker 1: was unhappy with this yesterday when they were talking with
- 6:01Speaker 1: the media about the fact that they've got a grit
- 6:05Speaker 1: up and go play the Titans. And one other thing
- 6:07Speaker 1: that came up yesterday, and that was that there were
- 6:09Speaker 1: some Las Vegas Raiders who were out at a a
- 6:13Speaker 1: fundraiser for a Deer and Waller, the Tight Ends Foundation,
- 6:17Speaker 1: and they were photographed without masks on. So this whole
- 6:22Speaker 1: thing is going to be heightened this weekend. It'll be
- 6:25Speaker 1: interesting to see how it all rules out. Yes, it
- 6:30Speaker 1: will only the beginning. I have a feeling of the
- 6:32Speaker 1: COVID News this week. Right, let's get into big things too,
- 6:35Speaker 1: which is better believe it. Joe Burrow obviously a very
- 6:38Speaker 1: talented quarterback, but John oser I was talking to Tony
- 6:42Speaker 1: Basselli first segment we shoot on Mondays. He's like, yeah, yeah,
- 6:46Speaker 1: he's super talented, but let's talk about this offensive line.
- 6:49Speaker 1: He was sacked eight times against the Eagles. So Tony
- 6:53Speaker 1: was saying, you can be as great of a quarterback
- 6:55Speaker 1: as you want, but with this offensive line, maybe this
- 6:58Speaker 1: is the week we see the Jaguars pass rush finally
- 7:01Speaker 1: be successful and be a big presence on the field.
- 7:06Speaker 1: How many of the silly um But yet that being said,
- 7:10Speaker 1: it is a It sounds like an opportunity. I always
- 7:15Speaker 1: sort of hesitate when I hear a stat like that. Well,
- 7:18Speaker 1: this one team's offensive line is struggling, so another team's
- 7:21Speaker 1: pass rush is gonna get going. Yes, the Bengals have
- 7:24Speaker 1: had to move some guys around. Their right guard situation
- 7:27Speaker 1: has been influx. They've got Jonah Williams on the left side,
- 7:30Speaker 1: who's playing for the first time at tackle, didn't play
- 7:33Speaker 1: last year, number one pick in two thousand nineteen. They've
- 7:36Speaker 1: got some things that on paper make you look at
- 7:39Speaker 1: it and say, Okay, the Jaguars pass rush needs to
- 7:41Speaker 1: get going, But the guys who were there the Bengals
- 7:45Speaker 1: are still NFL players. So far this season, the Jaguars
- 7:48Speaker 1: pass rush hasn't really shown that he can get going
- 7:50Speaker 1: against anybody. So until that group shows some signs of life,
- 7:56Speaker 1: I'm not going to assume that just because the Bengals
- 7:58Speaker 1: are struggling, the Jaguars can do it. Jaguars, his talents
- 8:01Speaker 1: is there. They've got to get going. It looks like
- 8:03Speaker 1: it's a good situation, but they've got to do it,
- 8:06Speaker 1: and they can't assume just because the team has been
- 8:08Speaker 1: struggling that they're gonna do it. But it's key, you know, Ashlyn,
- 8:13Speaker 1: the best defense for the Jaguars on Sunday is a
- 8:18Speaker 1: strong offense. You know, don't play from behind, build a lead,
- 8:21Speaker 1: be able to score. Don't put yourself in a position
- 8:25Speaker 1: where you're giving Joe Burrow opportunities to pick a part
- 8:28Speaker 1: a team that has major weaknesses in the middle of
- 8:31Speaker 1: its defense and has not been able to get to
- 8:33Speaker 1: the quarterback. You know, Burrow has been sacked fourteen times,
- 8:36Speaker 1: the most in the NFL, which is no surprise. He's
- 8:38Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback, but I've been impressed with him because
- 8:41Speaker 1: he stands in the pocket and kind of like Tom Brady,
- 8:45Speaker 1: he's letting you know, this is his face and I'm
- 8:47Speaker 1: going to stay here and I'm gonna make the throws.
- 8:50Speaker 1: They're not quite ready to protect him like that yet,
- 8:54Speaker 1: but he's comfortable in standing in there and making throws.
- 8:57Speaker 1: And you saw his arm. He has a very nice
- 9:00Speaker 1: delivery mm hmm. Definitely a talented quarterback and it is
- 9:04Speaker 1: no secret Doug marrone has put a strong emphasis on
- 9:08Speaker 1: this team, wanting to start much faster going into week Force.
- 9:11Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. We're gonna hear from head coach
- 9:13Speaker 1: Doug Ron at nine o'clock this morning and when we
- 9:15Speaker 1: come back. Some Ashland asked in the white boards out

- 11:28Speaker 1: which means the white boards are out for Ashland ask
- 11:31Speaker 1: getting ready for the Jaguars to had to Cincinnati on
- 11:35Speaker 1: Saturday to take on the Bengals. So let's take a
- 11:38Speaker 1: look back for the first Ashland ask. I hate to
- 11:41Speaker 1: be negative this morning, but at times I must. Fellas
- 11:46Speaker 1: what was the most disappointing aspect of last week's game
- 11:50Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. There are a few options, but when
- 11:53Speaker 1: you're looking back, what's the one thing that you're like
- 11:55Speaker 1: that stinks that that happened to the Jaguars Number one
- 12:00Speaker 1: disappointing thing. Normally I'm an optimist, but I gotta keep
- 12:07Speaker 1: a realist morning, all right, Brian Sexton or John Oser?
- 12:15Speaker 1: What says you? Anyone got an answered? Can you read that? Brian?
- 12:20Speaker 1: You're up turnovers? Yeah? I don't know why. Maybe hold
- 12:25Speaker 1: it way back here and you can get it. Uh.
- 12:28Speaker 1: There we go. Better. The white boards not working turnovers
- 12:31Speaker 1: U two interceptions in the game, against the Titans come
- 12:35Speaker 1: back in a primetime game against the Dolphins at home,
- 12:39Speaker 1: the fumble that led directly to a touchdown, the interception
- 12:42Speaker 1: um Gardner Minshew last year struggled with holding onto the
- 12:48Speaker 1: football and that fumble. Even though it was a good
- 12:51Speaker 1: play by the Dolphins defender, that fumble worries you. And
- 12:54Speaker 1: four turnovers in the last two games are disappointing for
- 12:57Speaker 1: a team whose margin for error is in You can't
- 13:01Speaker 1: afford to turn the ball over, especially point blank range.
- 13:04Speaker 1: But you can't give up that many possessions. You guys
- 13:06Speaker 1: know the numbers. The average game has eleven possessions per team.
- 13:10Speaker 1: You can't give the Dolphins thirteen and take only nine.
- 13:17Speaker 1: Not a recipe for success, to say, at least, sorry,
- 13:19Speaker 1: John Ouger, disappointing, what says you? Yeah? On on Brian's
- 13:27Speaker 1: the interception didn't bother me that much, but I couldn't
- 13:29Speaker 1: agree with them more. The fumble in the pocket when
- 13:32Speaker 1: you're sort of dancing around, that's what hurt him last year.
- 13:35Speaker 1: You didn't want to see that come back up, so
- 13:38Speaker 1: that's got to end. And I think Brian agrees with
- 13:40Speaker 1: you on that. My Ashland asked answer three in three,
- 13:45Speaker 1: meaning three defensive touchdowns in the first three possessions. That
- 13:49Speaker 1: continues a trend. Didjaguars have to stop that if they're
- 13:53Speaker 1: going to win any games? Obviously you can't give up
- 13:55Speaker 1: touchdowns in your first three. They've got to slop stop
- 13:58Speaker 1: the slow starts defensively. Uh it goes to that day. Yep,
- 14:04Speaker 1: Jaguars defense allowing and opening possession touchdown all three games.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Needless say, gotta start quicker. My most disappointing thing is
- 14:12Speaker 1: what they had going for them, which was third down conversions.
- 14:16Speaker 1: That was their thing. NFL best six third down conversions
- 14:20Speaker 1: the first two weeks. They were number one in the league.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Against the Dolphins three four h not good. That was
- 14:28Speaker 1: there one thing that you said, you know what, Jaguars
- 14:30Speaker 1: are really talented at third down conversions. This is what
- 14:32Speaker 1: they're gonna be talented at this year. Not the case
- 14:35Speaker 1: s Week three against the Dolphins. All right, we're done
- 14:37Speaker 1: being negative. Let's go into this game against the Bengals,
- 14:40Speaker 1: and let's go ahead and give a score prediction of
- 14:42Speaker 1: what we think the Jaguars will come home with in
- 14:45Speaker 1: Cincinnati and who will be the breakout guy on the
- 14:48Speaker 1: Jaguars that we're going to talk about Sunday night rapid
- 14:50Speaker 1: where kept We're gonna say, hey, this guy he had
- 14:53Speaker 1: a pretty good game. Hope you guys gonna steal mine.
- 15:03Speaker 1: It's an obvious one. All right, what do we got anyone?
- 15:13Speaker 1: Anyone at all? Hello? Well you're through two questions at Actually,
- 15:22Speaker 1: my gosh, how long does it take? All right? Brian?
- 15:29Speaker 1: Explain yourself. Well, I don't know who wins. Um. I
- 15:34Speaker 1: know that Joe Burrow could put up numbers. He has
- 15:36Speaker 1: five touchdowns and only one interception on the season. Um,
- 15:40Speaker 1: And I think the Djhart comes back and shows you
- 15:43Speaker 1: just how important he is to this offense. I mean,
- 15:46Speaker 1: I can't overstate this. The lack of chart last Thursday
- 15:51Speaker 1: night just fundamentally took away the functionality of this offense.
- 15:55Speaker 1: He makes so many things happen and so many different
- 15:59Speaker 1: things post a bowl. Um, I think he has a
- 16:02Speaker 1: big game in his return. I don't know who wins.
- 16:04Speaker 1: I just think it's gonna be a higher scoring game
- 16:07Speaker 1: and seems about right to me. All Right, we can
- 16:13Speaker 1: work with that, John Ozer, do you agree? Well? Confession,
- 16:18Speaker 1: The first thing I had up here was and I
- 16:22Speaker 1: hate agreeing with Brian on anything, so I changed it,
- 16:24Speaker 1: but I am gonna pick Jacks are gonna win sexon
- 16:28Speaker 1: so and I think it's Josh. You know, I pick
- 16:31Speaker 1: thirty seven thirty four to make a point that I
- 16:33Speaker 1: think if they're gonna win, it's gonna have to be
- 16:35Speaker 1: a shootout. I just don't know if the defense is
- 16:38Speaker 1: it is going to is going to stop people. They
- 16:40Speaker 1: almost won thirty three thirty against a very good Titans team,
- 16:44Speaker 1: so they can score this kind of point um. But
- 16:46Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen's gonna break out. And it sounds
- 16:49Speaker 1: kind of funny to say he's gonna break out if
- 16:51Speaker 1: it's they shootout, but I think by breakout, I mean
- 16:56Speaker 1: he'll get a sacker two against a struggling offensive line
- 17:01Speaker 1: and it will be enough to get a turnover a
- 17:03Speaker 1: big play. Dogs still got up point, but they break
- 17:07Speaker 1: enough surs in the form of a of a Josh
- 17:09Speaker 1: Allen Sacrati sexton. Alright, I'm liking it. I'm going tht
- 17:17Speaker 1: Jaguars win, put up thirty points, and my breakout player
- 17:20Speaker 1: has to be James Robinson. Bengals run defense, second worst
- 17:24Speaker 1: in the league, have given up on average a hundred
- 17:27Speaker 1: and eighty eight yards per game. I think James Robinson.
- 17:31Speaker 1: We already know his name, but I think he is
- 17:32Speaker 1: a breakout player on Sunday, my last ashle nass has
- 17:36Speaker 1: gone terribly wrong. I try to keep Riley in the office.
- 17:40Speaker 1: I could just show her off, and then she started whining.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Who was this whole scene? But I included a picture
- 17:45Speaker 1: of her just so I could show off my roommates dog, Riley.
- 17:49Speaker 1: I was trying to think of something fun. I thought,
- 17:50Speaker 1: you know what, let's just brag about the dog, shall we.
- 17:53Speaker 1: That's Riley b Alliday and I love her. It's not
- 17:57Speaker 1: a question, it's a statement, that's all I Riley, how rude.
- 18:07Speaker 1: It was her time to shine, Brian. I like it
- 18:12Speaker 1: wide retriever. I see what you did there, love her man.
- 18:17Speaker 1: I grabbed it before anyone. John. It's not about was
- 18:19Speaker 1: the only obvious one. John. It's not about your dog today.
- 18:25Speaker 1: It's about Riley. I'll have you. I can't read what
- 18:28Speaker 1: your answer says. Bad dog, bad dogs, dogs barking. No,
- 18:37Speaker 1: this one is about my dog. She's barking at the painters,
- 18:39Speaker 1: so she's a bad dog. That's all I got. Oh wow,
- 18:44Speaker 1: this is actually I thought that was Joe pumping and
- 18:46Speaker 1: barking sounds. That is real life barking. No no, no, yeah,
- 18:52Speaker 1: rat dog, bad dog this morning. That's one thing we
- 18:55Speaker 1: do know. When we come back, we visit the ozone
- 18:58Speaker 1: mail bag here on Jaguar's drives. No answers on that, Hey,
- 19:12Speaker 1: Jax fans, we all know, dov all. There's a big
- 19:15Speaker 1: place and you need to get a lot of mileage
- 19:17Speaker 1: out of what you drive. That's why do Baal Motor

- 21:28Speaker 1: staying here in Jacksonville for our first ozone snapshot and
- 21:32Speaker 1: arrows from our guy He a little the negative this morning,
- 21:35Speaker 1: but that's okay. How can the defense be this bad
- 21:38Speaker 1: when they have drafted three first round defensive players the
- 21:41Speaker 1: last two years. I know they're young, blah blah blah,
- 21:45Speaker 1: but come on, they got some good fast talent here.
- 21:48Speaker 1: They aren't being created enough. It all points the coaching coordinator,
- 21:52Speaker 1: John Osier. Another fire toddwash. Here we go on a
- 21:55Speaker 1: Wednesday morning. Well, I'm worn out on the whole coordinate
- 22:00Speaker 1: or thing. People know how I feel about that whole topic. Uh,
- 22:04Speaker 1: coordinators don't make players great, they don't make players bad.
- 22:08Speaker 1: They coordinate. But beyond that, I think the point of
- 22:11Speaker 1: the email is the good fast players. Yes, they have
- 22:15Speaker 1: a few good, fast, young players. What I've questioned about
- 22:18Speaker 1: this defense from the start, and I think what was
- 22:20Speaker 1: concerned internally was did they have enough experienced, really good players,
- 22:25Speaker 1: meaning second contract guys who were really really good. Josh
- 22:30Speaker 1: Allen caleban chasn ascending to be really good players. I
- 22:34Speaker 1: still think C. J. Henderson is too. Miles Jack and
- 22:38Speaker 1: Joe Schobert are really the only veteran experience big time
- 22:44Speaker 1: players in the defense. So, yes, they're still young. I
- 22:47Speaker 1: get people are going to use it as an excuse,
- 22:50Speaker 1: but I still think that's why you're seeing slow starts,
- 22:53Speaker 1: some bad eyes, if you will, looking in bad places early.
- 22:57Speaker 1: They've still got to grow up, and I'm not sure
- 22:58Speaker 1: there's enough players who are experienced they had them grow
- 23:02Speaker 1: up quickly enough. Brian, I just you can't overstate the
- 23:08Speaker 1: loss of two premier defensive lineman Calais Campbell, who is
- 23:14Speaker 1: playing at a high level right now in a very
- 23:15Speaker 1: good defense, right but they made the decision to move
- 23:18Speaker 1: on from him and Unique and Gonquay upfront. I mean,
- 23:21Speaker 1: those are two guys that created all sources of mismatches.
- 23:24Speaker 1: You don't have that right now. And on the back end,
- 23:27Speaker 1: the youth is is evident. I mean, Trey Herndon's a guy.
- 23:29Speaker 1: He may be a little better than a guy if
- 23:32Speaker 1: you have Jalen Ramsey on the other side, but he's
- 23:34Speaker 1: got a rookie on the other side. And we saw
- 23:36Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick take advantage of him and of c. J.
- 23:39Speaker 1: Henderson with DeVante Parker last week. It just it's a
- 23:43Speaker 1: young defense. They are talented. There are players there, but
- 23:48Speaker 1: they don't have that it, that experience, that knowledge. And
- 23:53Speaker 1: let's let's also throw in the fact they didn't get
- 23:56Speaker 1: a preseason right, So September is generally when offenses are
- 24:00Speaker 1: ahead of defenses because they know exactly what they're doing.
- 24:05Speaker 1: They're throwing the whole playbook out there. Defenses haven't had
- 24:08Speaker 1: time to adjust. I expect you'll see this defense get better,
- 24:11Speaker 1: play better as we go along through the season. Still
- 24:14Speaker 1: gonna have holes in it. I mean, I beat that
- 24:17Speaker 1: drum all week long. They're not going to be able
- 24:19Speaker 1: to fix that this year. They can play better in
- 24:21Speaker 1: some spots that will come in time, some potential there
- 24:26Speaker 1: for the Jaguars defense, and we're all still trying to
- 24:29Speaker 1: figure out what they truly will look like. All right,
- 24:31Speaker 1: let's go to Jupiter, Florida. Our guy Bill has the
- 24:34Speaker 1: questions for John. Do you think the Jaguars will play
- 24:37Speaker 1: to their strength the new foundability to consistently run the
- 24:41Speaker 1: football kind of possession equals keeping the defense off the
- 24:45Speaker 1: field short in the games? John Auger Well, I think
- 24:50Speaker 1: they'd like to gear towards that. I mean, and they
- 24:52Speaker 1: clearly believe they can run, and I think they believe
- 24:55Speaker 1: that correctly. The problem is when you're down fourteen nothing seven,
- 25:01Speaker 1: you can't stick to the run the entire game. Because,
- 25:04Speaker 1: as Doug Maron talked about late last week, when you're
- 25:07Speaker 1: down like that, you're wanting to drop back, You're wanting
- 25:10Speaker 1: chunk plays. You've got to get back in a hurry.
- 25:12Speaker 1: It lends itself to pass rush on the other side,
- 25:14Speaker 1: to the turnovers we discussed early, but it mainly lends
- 25:17Speaker 1: itself to it's hard to stick to the run as
- 25:20Speaker 1: much as you want, so I don't think you're gonna
- 25:22Speaker 1: see three yards in a cloud of dust. But I
- 25:24Speaker 1: think if you stay within the game, then I do
- 25:28Speaker 1: think you'll see Jay Gruden try to stick with James
- 25:30Speaker 1: Robinson a little more. They're not gonna go to it completely, though,
- 25:33Speaker 1: because at some point Gardner Minshew's got to make plays.
- 25:37Speaker 1: It's the NFL in two thousand twenty. You still need
- 25:39Speaker 1: a good quarterback play. Well, why do you go and
- 25:43Speaker 1: bring in Jay Gruden, who, by the way, was outrageously
- 25:47Speaker 1: successful the first two weeks and and exciting to watch.
- 25:50Speaker 1: You don't need Jake Gruden to call run the ball.
- 25:52Speaker 1: I mean you, Doug Brown can do that. Now. This
- 25:55Speaker 1: is not I don't even know if it's to strength you, okay,
- 25:58Speaker 1: I mean Robinson has been depressive. Don't get me wrong, Um,
- 26:01Speaker 1: but I don't. I thought what I saw the second
- 26:05Speaker 1: half of the Colts game and the second half of
- 26:07Speaker 1: the Titans game was becoming their strength, um d J.
- 26:11Speaker 1: Chark and that open things up for healing Cole Uh.
- 26:15Speaker 1: The tight ends in the Titans game, we're wildly affective.
- 26:19Speaker 1: They caught five of seven, four first downs and a touchdown. Now,
- 26:23Speaker 1: I think their strength. There's the ability with Jake Gruden
- 26:25Speaker 1: to work this offense through Gardner Minshew's strengths. And yeah,
- 26:30Speaker 1: run the ball because it's great, but Doug Moron has
- 26:32Speaker 1: said time and again what he really wants to be
- 26:33Speaker 1: able to do is run it when he wants to
- 26:35Speaker 1: run it. I think you're bringing Ja Gruden because you
- 26:38Speaker 1: want to be a modern offense. Is John just alluded
- 26:40Speaker 1: to mm hmm, great point, And you mentioned d J. Charge.
- 26:44Speaker 1: We're gonna get an update on his health with that
- 26:47Speaker 1: chest injury at nine o'clock when Doug Browne meets the media.
- 26:50Speaker 1: Doug brown said on Monday optimistic he could be back
- 26:53Speaker 1: against the Bengals. We sure hope. So when we come back,

- 28:39Speaker 1: top tweets, top tweets, top back on Jack's drive time
- 28:50Speaker 1: for a few top weeks, and I will admit I
- 28:53Speaker 1: did not know Miles Jack was having this good of
- 28:56Speaker 1: the season. I knew he was impactful, but this tweet
- 28:59Speaker 1: definitely showed me more. Miles Jack most productive linebacker stat
- 29:03Speaker 1: wise in the NFL right now from Pro Football Focus
- 29:07Speaker 1: best grade with nine point one with three quarterback pressures
- 29:11Speaker 1: in twenty four tackles. Brian we talked about him. We say,
- 29:15Speaker 1: you know, this is a guy that we saw a
- 29:16Speaker 1: big ceiling for this season. Looks like he's making the
- 29:20Speaker 1: moves in the right direction. Well, I mean this goes
- 29:23Speaker 1: to something that John has said since the end of
- 29:25Speaker 1: last season Miles Jack was not as bad in as
- 29:29Speaker 1: everyone made him out to be. It was just that
- 29:32Speaker 1: the rest of the defense forced him to try to
- 29:34Speaker 1: be all things to all people at all time, and
- 29:37Speaker 1: he wasn't able to focus on doing his job. He
- 29:40Speaker 1: was worried about everyone else. This year, he's focused on
- 29:43Speaker 1: doing his job because Joe Schulberg has taken over the
- 29:46Speaker 1: quarterbacking of the defense and he's done a really nice job.
- 29:49Speaker 1: What's missing now the interception, the scoop and score, the
- 29:53Speaker 1: stuff that the wildly athletic Jack is capable of doing. Yep,
- 30:00Speaker 1: couldn't agree more. And John, you definitely harp that drum.
- 30:03Speaker 1: And if you haven't checked out Miles Jack press conference
- 30:05Speaker 1: from last week, I encourage you to go watched on
- 30:07Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com. Was very entertaining and he said that
- 30:11Speaker 1: he found out the news about moving over to week
- 30:13Speaker 1: side when he was on a plane to Australia. Miles
- 30:16Speaker 1: Jack apparently a world traveler in the off season. And
- 30:19Speaker 1: now we get into some transactions here on top of weet.
- 30:21Speaker 1: Something that kind of got muffled in all the news
- 30:24Speaker 1: of the week was Timmy journey gin Way from the Jaguars.
- 30:27Speaker 1: This is the guy He only played fifty four of
- 30:29Speaker 1: possible hundred and ninety snicks STAPs snaps so far the
- 30:33Speaker 1: season and was only credited with one tackle. And John
- 30:36Speaker 1: this is the guy that we talked a lot about
- 30:39Speaker 1: when he was brought into the Jaguars durning training camp.
- 30:41Speaker 1: They wanted to get him up to speed. Seems like
- 30:43Speaker 1: it kind of just didn't work out with this defense
- 30:46Speaker 1: and he didn't mold the way the Jaguars foresaw that happening. Unfortunately,
- 30:52Speaker 1: when you bring a player in in August, there's usually
- 30:56Speaker 1: a reason that he's being brought in in August. And
- 30:58Speaker 1: you know, uh, he wasn't making plays. Uh wasn't very productive.
- 31:06Speaker 1: So people ask me, well, why was he released? What
- 31:09Speaker 1: about the debt? They think that the players that are
- 31:12Speaker 1: there an hour better, So, uh, you know, it seemed
- 31:15Speaker 1: like a good guy. Wish him well, But when you
- 31:18Speaker 1: brought in in August, there's often a reason. Indeed, and
- 31:23Speaker 1: now we get to some kicker news, the Jaguar signing
- 31:27Speaker 1: two new kickers, with Josh Lambeau right now on injured reserve,
- 31:31Speaker 1: one of them a Super Bowl champion with the Seahawks
- 31:33Speaker 1: in two thousand fourteen and two thousand fifteen. So, Brian,
- 31:37Speaker 1: this could uh, this could be a little interesting storyline.
- 31:40Speaker 1: If these kickers go out and succeed, then what happens
- 31:43Speaker 1: to Josh lamb But we could have some kicker drama
- 31:46Speaker 1: here in Jacksonville. I'll love it. Well, I mean, Lambo
- 31:49Speaker 1: has been outrageously successful in the two years since they
- 31:53Speaker 1: signed him and brought him in and they gave him
- 31:55Speaker 1: the contract. Uh, this allows if how she Good goes
- 31:58Speaker 1: out and picks well, this allows you to leave Lambeau
- 32:03Speaker 1: on injured reserve longer and make sure that the hip
- 32:06Speaker 1: is completely healed. I imagine that once that they are
- 32:09Speaker 1: certain that the hip is ready to go, that how
- 32:12Speaker 1: Skill will be sent packing and Lambeau will come back
- 32:15Speaker 1: in because for all his eccentricities, Um, he is a
- 32:20Speaker 1: terrific kicker. Yes, very reliable guy who right now is
- 32:26Speaker 1: dealing with that hip injury, like we mentioned on injured reserve.
- 32:29Speaker 1: All right, that is our program, Jaguars Drive Time on
- 32:32Speaker 1: a Wednesday morning. Stay tuned. Head coach Doug Maroon coming
- 32:35Speaker 1: up at nine o'clock. We will see you tomorrow morning,
