Speaker 1: Welcome to Jacks Drive John with Ashlyn Sells, John Oceans
0:09
Speaker 1: Bryan set Jacks Drive and starts right now. You french yourself.
0:17
Speaker 1: If you lay the ball in the ground, you come
0:18
Speaker 1: out for a few players and then what's up to
0:20
Speaker 1: the position coach where let's put you back in whenever
0:22
Speaker 1: that's time and that's not James, that's whomever. When the
0:26
Speaker 1: ball goes on the ground, you come back. I almost
0:29
Speaker 1: took try to will make a great place Sunday and
0:33
Speaker 1: he was loose with the ball. Remember that great money
0:35
Speaker 1: and after the catch and all that, and I almost
0:37
Speaker 1: took him out of the game because he got away
0:40
Speaker 1: from him. But it was a he was right next
0:42
Speaker 1: to sell. I grad him. I said, locked the ball.
0:43
Speaker 1: You see the right coaching right to block the ball.
0:45
Speaker 1: Lock the ball. So it's just a refocused reframe your
0:49
Speaker 1: mind and make sure that the sound bites are buzzing
0:52
Speaker 1: through your head as you touched the football. A lot
0:55
Speaker 1: coming from the James Robinson situation yesterday, come head coach
0:58
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer as well as Chevor Lawrence. We just heard
1:01
Speaker 1: what coach Meyer said, and then we heard Trevor Lawrence
1:03
Speaker 1: who said James Robinson is one of our best, if
1:05
Speaker 1: not the best, offensive player on the field, and he
1:08
Speaker 1: needs to be on the field. I thought that was
1:11
Speaker 1: very powerful what he said, and I think we can
1:12
Speaker 1: all expect that James Robinson is going to get more
1:15
Speaker 1: carries this weekend if he's healthy. Yeah. Yeah, And I
1:19
Speaker 1: thought the most interesting part of the urban Meyer part
1:23
Speaker 1: was how he talked about I think he uh, the
1:27
Speaker 1: fans and the observers watching this may have got some
1:30
Speaker 1: clarity on what went into the decision, meaning, he's been hurt,
1:35
Speaker 1: hasn't practiced, and the thought is that that's where the
1:38
Speaker 1: fundamentals with the fumbling have sort of happened. I don't
1:43
Speaker 1: know that it's still a great move not to get
1:45
Speaker 1: him back in the game quicker, but that's the rationale
1:49
Speaker 1: and I think that's the first time I had sort
1:50
Speaker 1: of thought about it in that Yeah, holistic to use
1:55
Speaker 1: the wrong word way, Yeah, yeah, you needed just some answers,
1:58
Speaker 1: and you can agree with it, you can disagree with
2:00
Speaker 1: but at least we now know what the mindset is, right, sure, absolutely,
2:03
Speaker 1: let's get into big things. Big thing one is the
2:05
Speaker 1: coach himself had Coach urban Meyer. A lot of questions
2:07
Speaker 1: with Coach Meyer about what is going on with the
2:09
Speaker 1: James Robinson situation of why is not more involved with
2:12
Speaker 1: the rotations. Well, that's a decision he made for himself
2:15
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago. Yeah, I just evaluated myself
2:19
Speaker 1: as the my career went along and I was in
2:22
Speaker 1: as productive and the things I need to be productive,
2:24
Speaker 1: worrying about you know which foot, the three technique, stepping
2:27
Speaker 1: with you know when you're there's so much I thought
2:30
Speaker 1: just this, uh reevaluated myself and you know, the last
2:34
Speaker 1: half of my career at Ohiose State, I did micromanage
2:38
Speaker 1: everything because it's also hard to sleep at night when
2:40
Speaker 1: you don't. And you guys get you have coaches, that's
2:44
Speaker 1: the responsibility. It's not my responsibility to the responsibility. Hire
2:47
Speaker 1: a bunch of good people, coach of fundamentals as hard
2:50
Speaker 1: as possible, let them do their job. And a lot
2:52
Speaker 1: of times I get in the way of that. I
2:53
Speaker 1: know it's too big. Thing too is the tie ins
2:57
Speaker 1: without Derrick Henry, without a j. Brown. They are still
3:00
Speaker 1: the same old Titans who will run the ball even
3:03
Speaker 1: without those star studded names we just listed. Every matchup
3:06
Speaker 1: is one of the Jaguars have to pay attention to
3:10
Speaker 1: ye asks me. Everybody still days. You know you're talking
3:13
Speaker 1: about the season that we want to have, a season
3:15
Speaker 1: that we haven't had yet. You know we're gonna continue
3:18
Speaker 1: to play Everybody like that. They're simple as that. So
3:21
Speaker 1: I think the names, the ecologies, I think all that
3:23
Speaker 1: is out the door now is at the point where
3:25
Speaker 1: you gonna come back there and could beat. I don't
3:27
Speaker 1: care who they dress up or who playing, I don't matter.
3:29
Speaker 1: I'm gonna treating like you the best out there. So, um,
3:32
Speaker 1: haven't really even did deep into what person there though,
3:35
Speaker 1: who they are gonna have a little bit plans have
3:37
Speaker 1: each other come back because just there's so many unanswered questions.
3:40
Speaker 1: But like I said, man, we got a point now,
3:42
Speaker 1: we gotta play great football. I don't care who's got
3:44
Speaker 1: there or who's doing. Big thing three is the intensity.
3:48
Speaker 1: Shaquille Griffin mentioned it yesterday. He wants to see no
3:51
Speaker 1: moping on the field for these next five weeks. He's
3:54
Speaker 1: are really important weeks or the players in the film
3:56
Speaker 1: they put out on the field, And the biggest focus
3:58
Speaker 1: right now is not doing too much. Man. Just like
4:03
Speaker 1: I've always said, keep getting better. Um, I really just
4:05
Speaker 1: want to go go play free There'll be me and
4:07
Speaker 1: make plays. UM, And I think just having a great
4:11
Speaker 1: week of practice, trusting the game plan and then just
4:13
Speaker 1: one game day comes letting it rip. That's something that UM.
4:16
Speaker 1: As this season has gone on, obviously there's been like
4:18
Speaker 1: we set ups and downs and a lot of stuff
4:20
Speaker 1: going on, and UM, that's the one day I need
4:22
Speaker 1: to be consistent on it. Just go out there and
4:24
Speaker 1: play and just be myself. And that's something I want
4:26
Speaker 1: to do a better job of. UM, don't play in
4:28
Speaker 1: a box. I just go play free. And that's something
4:30
Speaker 1: I really really want to do, especially finishing out this season,
4:33
Speaker 1: build on something. UM, like you said, go stacks and
4:36
Speaker 1: wins and feel good about the year. Obviously didn't go
4:39
Speaker 1: exactly has planned, but still we can. We can finish
4:41
Speaker 1: well and have something to to build on for next year.
4:44
Speaker 1: And there you have it. Those are big things. One
4:46
Speaker 1: thing I think that is worth commenting on. Big things
4:49
Speaker 1: is big thing one. And you heard coach Meyer talk
4:51
Speaker 1: about the micro management and how he used to be
4:53
Speaker 1: a coach that was really into that and he had
4:55
Speaker 1: to take a step back, and I think no one
4:58
Speaker 1: wants to hear this, but we don't give him leeway
5:00
Speaker 1: and the patients. He's figuring this out too right, and
5:03
Speaker 1: he's trying to figure out how much he should manage,
5:05
Speaker 1: how much he should trust coach Parmley, the running backs coach.
5:08
Speaker 1: With all this going on, it's it takes some time
5:10
Speaker 1: to figure out the perfect balance. Well, he's the head coach.
5:14
Speaker 1: He's not the wide receiver coach. He's not the tight
5:16
Speaker 1: end coach. And uh he he doesn't really call plays
5:20
Speaker 1: on either side of the ball, so as a result,
5:23
Speaker 1: he is overseeing what's going on much more than he
5:27
Speaker 1: is specifically involved in. You know, I'm sure when a
5:31
Speaker 1: play comes from Daryl Bevil, there are times where it's like, Okay,
5:34
Speaker 1: are we sure we want to run or pass here?
5:36
Speaker 1: But for the most part, he is overseeing the game.
5:39
Speaker 1: That's his role. Other coaches who have come from coordinator
5:43
Speaker 1: positions perhaps have a different approach to that. Ryan, Um, Yeah,
5:47
Speaker 1: I mean I I back to what you were saying
5:50
Speaker 1: talking about him learning it. I didn't think there was
5:51
Speaker 1: going to be a point this year where it would
5:53
Speaker 1: seem like he was on the defensive like this. I
5:55
Speaker 1: mean taking over a franchise that was one in fifteen
5:58
Speaker 1: last year that I had the number one overall pick
6:01
Speaker 1: that was so talent deficient and putting it together. I
6:04
Speaker 1: didn't think we'd get there. Um. But it is for
6:06
Speaker 1: all part of the learning curve for him to figure
6:08
Speaker 1: out because the questions that he's being asked about why
6:10
Speaker 1: don't you know this are because of the coaches that
6:14
Speaker 1: we dealt with, right Because most NFL coaches can tell
6:17
Speaker 1: you David tom Coffin could tell you every single that
6:19
Speaker 1: he micro managed, and I get it. That's not the
6:22
Speaker 1: way that Urban Meyer is. I totally get it. But
6:24
Speaker 1: we're used to in this league, especially where there's one voice,
6:28
Speaker 1: right Um. We're used to the coach telling us everything
6:31
Speaker 1: there is to know and giving us that. So this
6:33
Speaker 1: is a completely different paradigm in terms of transparency, right um.
6:38
Speaker 1: And I can respect that. I kind of understand it.
6:40
Speaker 1: I kind of like it, um, But when the coach
6:43
Speaker 1: is the one who talks every week, then he needs
6:46
Speaker 1: to be able to say, yeah, we need to get
6:48
Speaker 1: James Robinson in the game, or no, I didn't want
6:49
Speaker 1: James Robinson in the game he was injured, or you know,
6:52
Speaker 1: when you fumble, you go to the sidelines and by
6:54
Speaker 1: the way, he's James Robinson is in the first player
6:56
Speaker 1: who's been sent to the sidelines because he's had trouble
6:58
Speaker 1: with the ball. Right, that's happened routinely. There was a
7:01
Speaker 1: time and you remember when Bill Walsh had a handle
7:05
Speaker 1: put on a football for Wendell Tyler back in the day. Remember,
7:08
Speaker 1: and he had to carry that football around. A big
7:10
Speaker 1: story on the NFL today with Reent Musburger long ago
7:12
Speaker 1: far away. Right, this this is not new. Um, he
7:17
Speaker 1: needs to be on the field. He'll be on the field.
7:19
Speaker 1: But it's the coaches prerogative. And I kind of get
7:21
Speaker 1: why the coach is who he is and how he does.
7:24
Speaker 1: Slynn could tell you. Vince Lombardi also, they also did
7:27
Speaker 1: that in nineteen sixty seven to it with your running
7:29
Speaker 1: back and the rookie running Bactually, I know you know
7:31
Speaker 1: the name, I just can't. I can't place the name.
7:34
Speaker 1: Travis was his first name. Yes, I remember that well,
7:36
Speaker 1: those were great times, and yes, I recall it greatly.
7:38
Speaker 1: And I know we gotta get on because we're gonna
7:39
Speaker 1: have myke Keith on. But real quick, it's been a
7:41
Speaker 1: good week for Trevor Lawrence at the podium. I really
7:43
Speaker 1: thought his comments on Sunday in Los Angeles, you can't
7:47
Speaker 1: grow weary, And I remember going, wow, that is really
7:51
Speaker 1: heavy stuff for a rookie, right, and then I gotta
7:54
Speaker 1: be free, apparently because I have grown weird. Well, you
7:58
Speaker 1: could be honest with you, I didn't bring a lot
8:00
Speaker 1: of intensity of the show yesterday. I think I had
8:01
Speaker 1: grown weary, and I think a lot of people who
8:03
Speaker 1: are watching it grown weird. There's five games left and
8:06
Speaker 1: there is a reason to be able to hope that
8:09
Speaker 1: will see some improvement, right, and hopefully it's the coach
8:12
Speaker 1: growing through his style. Uh, it's the quarterback saying, hey,
8:16
Speaker 1: he's got to be on the field, and look, this
8:18
Speaker 1: is Trevor Lawrence's team, right, So he's taking control in
8:22
Speaker 1: the way that a Peyton Manning would take control. Um,
8:25
Speaker 1: there's a long way to go, no doubt. But when
8:27
Speaker 1: I see that, and when I hear him saying I
8:29
Speaker 1: gotta play free, I gotta be me, I mean, I
8:32
Speaker 1: love it. I love what we're seeing from this kid.
8:34
Speaker 1: So I've got intensity based on the way that he
8:36
Speaker 1: has stood at the podium this week. I'm ready, let's go,
8:38
Speaker 1: let's play. You brought it because I just love it.
8:41
Speaker 1: I love Yes, he definitely saw that yesterday. That was
8:44
Speaker 1: the first time you were like, Wow, this is his
8:46
Speaker 1: team and you felt it his team absolutely and that
8:49
Speaker 1: is big things. When we come back on Jaguars Drive Time,
8:52
Speaker 1: the Voice of the Tennessee Titans, Mike Keith, joins us
8:54
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Digital Network. JAGGS Drive Time is brought

9:39
Speaker 1: Titans might Keith to join us on Jaguars Drive Time.
9:42
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us this morning. Good morning, as
9:46
Speaker 1: good morning. I want to know what is going on
9:48
Speaker 1: with this Titans team right now losing the last two?
9:51
Speaker 1: What is the mindset? Uh? That's a great question. Uh.
9:56
Speaker 1: Coming off a much needed by a football all team
10:00
Speaker 1: that's really been through a lot, was able to sort
10:03
Speaker 1: of weather the storm for a long period of time,
10:06
Speaker 1: and then some of the issues with personnel caught up
10:10
Speaker 1: with them in the Houston game and then sort of
10:13
Speaker 1: magnified in the game against a New England team that's
10:16
Speaker 1: playing well right now and not making any mistakes, but
10:20
Speaker 1: you know, a ball club that was in both of
10:22
Speaker 1: those games, m had a chance in the second half
10:26
Speaker 1: sort of miraculously to take the lead even though they
10:29
Speaker 1: weren't playing very well. And now we see if they
10:32
Speaker 1: can get jump started, getting a few guys back after
10:36
Speaker 1: the by and can get back to what they were
10:40
Speaker 1: doing in in the majority of October and the first
10:42
Speaker 1: part of November, we'll see. Hello, Michael, how are you?
10:46
Speaker 1: I'm fine? Brian, how are you? I'm good. I want
10:48
Speaker 1: to know when you knew that Mike Vrabel was going
10:53
Speaker 1: to be a great head coach. I think I always
10:56
Speaker 1: knew he would be a good one. But I've learned
10:58
Speaker 1: in the last year and especially this year, the way
11:00
Speaker 1: that he has handled the injury situation there and handled
11:04
Speaker 1: his team. I think he's a great head coach. Did
11:07
Speaker 1: you know that earlier? Has he shown it to you
11:08
Speaker 1: this year? Also? I had a pretty good idea the
11:11
Speaker 1: first time I sat down with him and and it's
11:13
Speaker 1: really bizarre because you know, you've done this for a
11:17
Speaker 1: long time, and so you understand. There are a lot
11:19
Speaker 1: of great football coaches who are not great head coaches.
11:23
Speaker 1: There's a difference, and it's so many of them don't
11:27
Speaker 1: see the big picture and understand that you have to
11:31
Speaker 1: manage everything that goes with it, and Mike did immediately.
11:36
Speaker 1: Mike understood that I had a job to do, that
11:39
Speaker 1: other people in the building had a job to do,
11:42
Speaker 1: and his great respect for everybody was the first sign
11:48
Speaker 1: that he saw that when you're a head coach. And
11:51
Speaker 1: his dad was a head basketball coach, so he came
11:54
Speaker 1: from being around somebody who sort of got it. But
11:59
Speaker 1: he was a guy who, you know, I'm not going
12:01
Speaker 1: into the bunker and I'm not acting like other things
12:04
Speaker 1: or other people aren't important. That was not his his style.
12:08
Speaker 1: I've seen some guys like that. Everybody who's been in
12:11
Speaker 1: sports heads. Mike had a world view of how you've
12:16
Speaker 1: become a head coach. And then year by year, Briant
12:18
Speaker 1: He's gotten better. He's admitted mistakes at times, He's changed
12:23
Speaker 1: things at different times. He knows when to push when
12:26
Speaker 1: not to push he he really is a super head
12:31
Speaker 1: coach for that reason. He's a really good ball coach.
12:35
Speaker 1: He's a good football coach. He knows defense, he knows
12:37
Speaker 1: a lot of things about fundamentals, but he also knows
12:40
Speaker 1: how to manage people. And I think that's the real
12:43
Speaker 1: strength of what he does. I'll tell you who he
12:46
Speaker 1: is who Jack del Rio always wanted to be. But
12:50
Speaker 1: Jack didn't have interesting he Jack didn't have that same
12:54
Speaker 1: regard for everyone's job in the building, right, He didn't
12:58
Speaker 1: have that same uh ego less approach to getting the
13:02
Speaker 1: job done. Jack always aspired to be that guy. And
13:05
Speaker 1: when up and I enjoyed the way that Jack coached
13:08
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways and his approach to the game.
13:11
Speaker 1: But when I see Rabel, I think that's that's what
13:13
Speaker 1: Jack wanted to be. So well, guys respond to this,
13:17
Speaker 1: and I mean, we we've been through quite a bit
13:21
Speaker 1: this season. As I was doing my boards for Sunday's game,
13:26
Speaker 1: it's it's really interesting that the majority of the Jaguar
13:29
Speaker 1: team that played against the Titans on October tent is
13:32
Speaker 1: going to be the team on Sunday. The Titans team.
13:37
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be fifteen new guys who play
13:40
Speaker 1: who didn't play in the first game, maybe more than that.
13:43
Speaker 1: That's crazy. And the only way you get through something
13:47
Speaker 1: like this and have a chance is if guys believe
13:52
Speaker 1: in what you're doing. And I think that's the thing
13:55
Speaker 1: Rabel has gotten across. So it didn't happen right away,
13:59
Speaker 1: but in year four or it's clearly here now for
14:01
Speaker 1: the titles Mike, Derrick Henry has been the identity of
14:05
Speaker 1: this team for you know, ever since he became a star. Basically,
14:09
Speaker 1: are they still trying to be that team if you
14:13
Speaker 1: follow me? Or they changed any since he's been out? Well, John,
14:16
Speaker 1: they can't change too much because they're built around it.
14:21
Speaker 1: You know. Everything they want to do offensively has become
14:25
Speaker 1: built around Derek. Play action, bigger receivers who block, uh,
14:31
Speaker 1: you know, the the whole thing. You know, when when
14:34
Speaker 1: you have a singular force like Derrick Henry, you'd be
14:39
Speaker 1: crazy not to build around it. So it's not as
14:43
Speaker 1: if when you lose Derek you can say, okay, now
14:46
Speaker 1: we're five wides and we throw every down and you know,
14:50
Speaker 1: and and that's some of what has caught up with
14:53
Speaker 1: the Titans in the last two games. John is that
14:57
Speaker 1: people have figured out, Okay, this is what they're gonna
15:01
Speaker 1: try to do, and this is these are the adjustments
15:04
Speaker 1: that we can make towards them. So that's you know,
15:07
Speaker 1: that's a part of it. Um. But at the same time, listen,
15:11
Speaker 1: they found a couple of backs. I mean, Deante Foreman
15:14
Speaker 1: has run well, Don Trelle Hilliard has run well. You know,
15:18
Speaker 1: there's some things they're they're doing pretty well right now.
15:21
Speaker 1: They had two hundred seventy rushing yards at New England
15:24
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. But they're kind of still
15:28
Speaker 1: having to find how you adjust to still being that
15:32
Speaker 1: team but not having the guy who dictates it the
15:35
Speaker 1: way Derek does. And that's a it's a very difficult adjustment.
15:39
Speaker 1: We knew it would be there there, and and Rabel
15:41
Speaker 1: said it. You know, nobody said, well we're going on,
15:44
Speaker 1: it's just next man up. Well, it may be next
15:47
Speaker 1: man up with everybody except Derrick Henry, right, because there
15:51
Speaker 1: is no other Derrick Henry. Very true, and even without
15:54
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, this is still a big struggle for the Jaguars,
15:57
Speaker 1: who have not won in Nashville since two thousand and thirteen.
16:00
Speaker 1: So we will see what happens in Sunday's game, Mike,
16:03
Speaker 1: thank you for joining us, Thanks for having me on.
16:06
Speaker 1: Absolutely when we come back on the Jaguars Digital Network
16:08
Speaker 1: some he will, he won't, he might coming up. Jad
16:18
Speaker 1: Blackheim is presented in part by Dream Binder's Home Homes
16:22
Speaker 1: That Hit Your Lifestyle and Baptist Health Changing Healthcare for Good.
16:37
Speaker 1: We're back Jaguars Drives, Go Go Go h oh okay
16:54
Speaker 1: good Hirst after two driving it in touchdown, the checks,
17:10
Speaker 1: aggressive draw offunsive lineman, Juwan Taylor miked up against the Rams.
17:18
Speaker 1: You can check out all the mind up features. Oh
17:20
Speaker 1: he's on Jaguars dot Com. We're back on Jaguars Drive
17:23
Speaker 1: Time and his Thursday it is time for some he will,
17:26
Speaker 1: he won't, He might for Sunday's game in Nashville. Jack, Uh,
17:31
Speaker 1: he's had a big week. He has when you were
17:33
Speaker 1: named the team's Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year nominee,
17:39
Speaker 1: that's a big week. And he's really played well again
17:42
Speaker 1: this season, but on a losing effort in most cases.
17:46
Speaker 1: Um No, Derrick Henry, this week helps right. I think
17:51
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see him build on his big week.
17:53
Speaker 1: Um he won't miss the chance to make a big play.
17:56
Speaker 1: I I still go back to that game in New
17:59
Speaker 1: York where the ball was on the ground, he picked
18:01
Speaker 1: it up. When you go ninety three yards of bumble recovery,
18:04
Speaker 1: it was, it was, it was a big play. He's
18:07
Speaker 1: got that big play in him and I but they
18:10
Speaker 1: don't have Derrick Henry there. I think there's gonna be
18:12
Speaker 1: an opportunity for him this week to make a play. Uh,
18:15
Speaker 1: and he won't miss that chance, and then he might
18:16
Speaker 1: score the touchdown this week. I mean, this might be
18:18
Speaker 1: the week that the defense takes the ball away scores
18:21
Speaker 1: a touchdown. That's how this team is gonna win. Yeah, defensively, right,
18:25
Speaker 1: that's how. That's how this team has a chance to
18:28
Speaker 1: create a winning opportunity for themselves. The offense can't line
18:31
Speaker 1: up and just march down the field like a Titans
18:33
Speaker 1: team can, like the Rams did. They need the defense
18:35
Speaker 1: to give them a short field, to give him a score,
18:37
Speaker 1: a special team score, something on which they can build
18:41
Speaker 1: some intensity and even wanting that for Miles Jack, you've
18:43
Speaker 1: been waiting for that big explosive play all year. So yeah,
18:47
Speaker 1: I love the candy. I've always enjoyed talking to him
18:50
Speaker 1: when he was named the Walter Payton Man of the
18:52
Speaker 1: Year nominee. Here. I cheered because I just think he's
18:54
Speaker 1: a great kid. He's very underrated. Also what he does
18:56
Speaker 1: in the community. I was talking to him and he
18:58
Speaker 1: was saying, the heat represents building homes here in Jacksonly
19:02
Speaker 1: was saying, you know, for me, I had to pick
19:03
Speaker 1: something in Jacksonville. You can pick all these nationwide charities,
19:07
Speaker 1: but I wanted to do it here in my home,
19:09
Speaker 1: which I thought was pretty cool. Good kid, no doubt. Uh.
19:13
Speaker 1: I went with La Kwan Treadwell. Uh. He will continue
19:16
Speaker 1: to be a factor for one reason. You don't have
19:18
Speaker 1: vide else. But he has earned that and it's been
19:22
Speaker 1: an impressive story because this is a guy who if
19:25
Speaker 1: people know, a former first round pick. Um A lot
19:29
Speaker 1: of times guys who were former first round picks and
19:31
Speaker 1: don't make it don't make it back to contribute, and
19:34
Speaker 1: he has. Uh. He won't solve the deep speed issue.
19:37
Speaker 1: He's not that guy, but he wasn't brought in to
19:40
Speaker 1: be that guy. Um, he might, which is the reason
19:43
Speaker 1: I chose this Brian, because it is he will, he won't.
19:46
Speaker 1: He might. I'm familiar. There's three, Um, he might have
19:51
Speaker 1: played his way into being a factor for the long
19:54
Speaker 1: term future. I don't know that he's plays way into
19:57
Speaker 1: being a starter for the long term future. But in
19:59
Speaker 1: the last couple of games, you watch him and you
20:02
Speaker 1: think this is a guy who belongs in the league.
20:04
Speaker 1: If if each team has three or four receivers and
20:08
Speaker 1: you multiplied by thirty two, four would be UM. So
20:14
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the better Dwight wide receivers
20:16
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and I think he'll be around for
20:19
Speaker 1: this team contributing. Tell me this, if you have three
20:21
Speaker 1: guys you love next year, when him gets hurt, you
20:23
Speaker 1: don't mind having this kid go in. No, I think
20:25
Speaker 1: he's got some Allen Robinson traits to him. Right. So,
20:29
Speaker 1: a rob is not a guy who runs by people.
20:31
Speaker 1: He can get by people, but a Rab's greatest technique
20:34
Speaker 1: is that he can go and take the bowl away.
20:37
Speaker 1: And I see some of that from this kid. He's
20:39
Speaker 1: that kind of a guy. UM, And if they can
20:41
Speaker 1: work on that and refine it. As much as I
20:43
Speaker 1: enjoyed UM listening to Trevor this week, I really enjoyed
20:48
Speaker 1: listening to la Quan yesterday. When you know when he
20:50
Speaker 1: talked about working with Julio Jones and having to make
20:53
Speaker 1: tough choices and subjects ego and I mean, it's it's
20:56
Speaker 1: important stuff. I like this kid. Did you like how
20:58
Speaker 1: I reign man there? Because I didn't not pre planned
21:00
Speaker 1: the multiplication in that last segment, I would have failed
21:05
Speaker 1: one of these you're going to be he will, he won't,
21:07
Speaker 1: he might. I will say that. I tweeted out that
21:10
Speaker 1: clip about the ego because I thought it was one
21:13
Speaker 1: of the best sound bites of this season. When he
21:15
Speaker 1: said I had to leave my ego at the door
21:17
Speaker 1: when I resigned on the practice squad, I'm arrogant. I
21:20
Speaker 1: would not have been able to do that. I would
21:22
Speaker 1: have said, see you, you know I'm leaving. That says
21:24
Speaker 1: a lot about him that he was able to do that.
21:26
Speaker 1: You'll learn to play. I don't know if she will
21:31
Speaker 1: my he will, he won't. He might. Is Shaquille Griffin.
21:34
Speaker 1: He will be back on the field this week after
21:36
Speaker 1: missing two weeks from concussion protocol and nothing against Nevin
21:40
Speaker 1: Lawson on Cooper Cup, but that is not the same
21:42
Speaker 1: matchup when you have Shaquille Griffin back there. So this
21:45
Speaker 1: is big for the Jaguars. That he will be back
21:48
Speaker 1: on the field, he won't have a lot of stats,
21:50
Speaker 1: and maybe that's a good thing because he's going to
21:52
Speaker 1: be shadowing Julio Jones, and he said he's gone up
21:55
Speaker 1: against him for in his career and in his words,
21:58
Speaker 1: he did well. So if it's just a game where
22:00
Speaker 1: we don't see a lot of Shaquille Griffin, that's a
22:02
Speaker 1: good game for him. Covering Julio Jones. He might be
22:05
Speaker 1: the guy that we need right now, the guy that
22:07
Speaker 1: is telling it exactly how it is on the practice field.
22:10
Speaker 1: I think it was pretty eye opening in his press
22:12
Speaker 1: conference yesterday when he said, yeah, I had to tell
22:14
Speaker 1: some guys quit moping around, you know, yeah, there's five
22:17
Speaker 1: weeks left and quit hanging your head. I thought that
22:19
Speaker 1: was pretty honest of him and something that someone like him,
22:22
Speaker 1: a team captain who's been around, needed to say. There's
22:24
Speaker 1: still five games left. Yeah, they need more guys like
22:28
Speaker 1: half of me. He um, they need more guys like him.
22:34
Speaker 1: It's hard to build core leadership when you've been as
22:38
Speaker 1: bad as this team has been for the last four
22:40
Speaker 1: years because guys you've drafted don't work out, so you
22:43
Speaker 1: don't resign them. Uh So he was signed. It's hard
22:48
Speaker 1: for a free agent to do what he's done, but
22:50
Speaker 1: he has coming and quickly become a spokesman for the team.
22:53
Speaker 1: You would like about ten more him, and they've got
22:56
Speaker 1: a few. Can't a four ten more of him at
22:58
Speaker 1: fourteen million a year? This is true, But I appreciate
23:00
Speaker 1: his honesty. No, he looked his energy level and when
23:04
Speaker 1: he came in here and we we first got to
23:06
Speaker 1: talk and know him a little bit the free agency
23:09
Speaker 1: without he's an impressive guy in that sense, um, and
23:13
Speaker 1: so you need You're right, you need him to create
23:17
Speaker 1: a sense of accountability, a sense of this is how
23:20
Speaker 1: we do things from the locker room inside out. It's
23:23
Speaker 1: Trevor's team. But on the defensive side, this kid's got
23:26
Speaker 1: the personality to be back guy for sure. And that
23:28
Speaker 1: is he will he won't. He might present it By

Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive time Jaguar's game day radio is ought to
24:00
Speaker 1: buy Vice Star, Credit Union, do good, Thank Better? Getting
24:08
Speaker 1: ready for a Titan game in Nashville this weekend, and
24:11
Speaker 1: we're predicting Monday's headlines to day that Jaguars have not
24:16
Speaker 1: one in Nashville since two thousand and thirty. Remember, Bybe,
24:19
Speaker 1: we're going for here, Herculean help. Do you know that
24:22
Speaker 1: Hercules was a titan? Mythology? Knew that? Oh yes, I
24:26
Speaker 1: knew that well Greek classes. Yet I think I think
24:29
Speaker 1: James Robinson is gonna get a bunch carriers this week,
24:31
Speaker 1: and I think, um, he'll get into a groove, and
24:34
Speaker 1: I think that will help. I don't know whether it's
24:36
Speaker 1: enough for them to win there. You can't. You can't
24:39
Speaker 1: reasonably rationally pick a team that's scoring ten points per
24:42
Speaker 1: game over the last six games to go on the road,
24:44
Speaker 1: play team coming off the bye week that has everything
24:47
Speaker 1: to play for, Right, But I say that James Robinson's
24:50
Speaker 1: back on the field and he helps, so we'll call
24:52
Speaker 1: it Herculean help, all right. I no bulldozer, no problem.
24:57
Speaker 1: I just don't know. They don't have Derrick Henry. Um.
25:02
Speaker 1: I worry in this game about the second half when
25:06
Speaker 1: I think the Jaguars will played tough in the in
25:08
Speaker 1: the first half. In the second half, you're going to
25:11
Speaker 1: have a team that's motivated, that's physical against a team
25:14
Speaker 1: that's not motivated except by themselves, which historically in the
25:18
Speaker 1: NFL is a tough thing to overcome. So I think
25:20
Speaker 1: they'll play well. I think they'll play hard. I think
25:22
Speaker 1: the Titans will out physical them in the second half.
25:25
Speaker 1: I hope him wrong. Yes, I think it'll be make
25:27
Speaker 1: it eight, which is eight losses in Nashville, But I
25:30
Speaker 1: think it'll be interesting. There's all this focus on Julio
25:32
Speaker 1: Jones and these explosive offensive weapons and oh no, Derrick Henry,
25:35
Speaker 1: no problem. I think the Titans will run well against
25:38
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, but I think they will take away the
25:40
Speaker 1: Julio Jones and those well let's be on. I mean,
25:42
Speaker 1: this is not Julio Jones from his whole fame day,
25:45
Speaker 1: but you see that name, you're like injuries, he's really
25:48
Speaker 1: been a non factor for them all year because he
25:50
Speaker 1: can't stay on the field. Yeah, I wouldn't worry so
25:54
Speaker 1: much about Julio jonesman for two seventy on New England.
25:57
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. Out Derrick Kind eight in the
26:00
Speaker 1: box and stop the run at all costs. And I
26:03
Speaker 1: think maybe you can do some things with coverage on
26:05
Speaker 1: Julio Jones. You've got to stop the rock. Absolutely, sell
26:08
Speaker 1: out to stop the rock. Yes, and that is the
26:09
Speaker 1: focus as the Jaguars take on the Titans in Nashville
26:12
Speaker 1: this Sunday, stay tuned Jaguars dot com for all your
26:15
Speaker 1: game day coverage. Will be right back here Monday morning
26:18
