  Speaker 1: how do we do? I thought you did fabulous and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you sort of just rotor coach you're speaking engagement. And
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the reason I brought it up in the way that
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I do, you uh him been doing that for twenty
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: four years straight. Year that I had done the ponte
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Vedra Beach Rotary Club, and it brings in a lot
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: of folks, and I got a lot of questions about
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: what we do here on drive time in a particular you,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: oh he really is he really like that? And said,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, does he act like that? All the lot
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: of people who need to get John. Of all the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: broadcast partners you've ever had, is he the most unique?
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Because well, there's no modifier for unique, right You can't
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: be very unique, kind of unique or sort of unique
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: or most it's just John is unique. I'm glad to
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: be back though, John, and I'm glad you hear this morning. Yeah,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: we missed you. It's gonna be a big show. It's
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: gonna be a good show. It's gonna be a great show.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: And so let's start it with big things. Think thing
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: one is the road that Jaguars would help to New
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: York tomorrow, and they lost three road games last season. Guys,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough, tough test, especially on a
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: big stage like New York. Yeah, winning on the road
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: is a challenge in this league. Winning anywhere is a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: challenge in this league. But winning on the road an
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: opening day is a real obstacle for this football team
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: because there will be a lot of emotion in that stadium.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: They're all geeked up for it, just like Jaguars fans
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: are beckham manning the whole nine yards. They're fighting the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: crowd an opening day, for sure. A Week one is
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: tough for any number of reasons. I've always thought that
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest reasons is in Week one, everybody
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: still believes in themselves. They believe in what they have
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: been working on all off season. They spent all off
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: season doing it. They're usually relatively healthy. Um sometimes late
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: in the season in this league, you get the idea
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: of going in that one team is so beat up,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: or one team is so I say, demoralized, but they've
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: been through so much. If you're playing a contender, that
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: it's really tough for a team that's completely out of
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: it late in the season to be the contender. Usually
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: they continue, usually winds up taking that. But at this point, everybody,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: this is pro football. Everybody knows they're good at this sport,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and they believe that they're still in it, and they
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: still believe in what the guy at the front of
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the room is talking about. So it's always tough, much
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: less the fact that you've got incredible skill players on
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: this team that you're playing on the road, and a
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: team that believes it's just gotten it going with this
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: new system. All right, all right, big thing too, is there? Big?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: We have a little stat for you here. Two and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: five teams have started the season oh and two since
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the NFL went to its current playoff format. Only twelve
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: percent of those oh and two teams have made the playoffs. More.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: All of the story is that's not the way you
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: want to start your season. This week is big, next
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: week is even bigger when New England come into town.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: The challenge of the Giants on the road than the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Patriots here, It's important to get off to a fast start.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying, I'm just looking at around here. I'm
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: not being negative. I'm just saying, and it's it's absolutely big.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And I think the first three, yeah, Tennessee coming in
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: out of the division game. I mean, this is a
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: tough schedule that you know, it's kind of obviously if
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you win the first couple, you feel great about it
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: because you've been in two good teams. But it's it's
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a dicey start. And Doug Morone was worried uncomforta on Wednesday,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: as as is his m O on these weeks. But
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a tough little stretch to start well.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And everybody's coming out of the box, right, I mean
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: if everyone played the preseason, but everybody is resetting with
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: their roster this week and getting ready to go right.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: So it means you gotta get up and going fast.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: You don't have a lot of time. Absolutely all right.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Big thing three is a statement games. We have talked
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: all off season, months and months and months Candice team
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: handled the expectations brought upon them. We all have said, yes,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: we're going to find out for real on Sunday. We
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: saw a bit of a statement game last night. You
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: had Philadelphia, right, and they unveiled their World champions uh
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: World Championship banner at the top of their stadium. Uh.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: And so there was a lot of there were a
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: lot of eyes on them. Let's see what we are here, right.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So you have a football team that a year ago
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: when they went to Houston, people weren't really paying attention
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: to I think they thought they'd be better, especially on defense.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: They were interested in what a new coaching staff would
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: mean to a team that had loaded up on talent
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: in both free agency and the draft. But there weren't
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the sort of eyeballs on this team. Were the expectations
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: as there are this year. And now you're going into
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: New York, which is arguably the league's biggest stage, biggest market.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Um giants are whether they are three and thirteen or
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: eleven and five, or a team that gets a lot
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: of attention because of the star players that they've got UH,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: and so there is a an expectation, a sense really
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: called pressure or not people want to see this team
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: let's go because people in talking about the Jaguars well,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and it's certainly a chance for the defense to shut
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: down what is perceived and what should be a very good,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: very fast UH with Eli manning a very experienced offense.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: At the same time, I get last night a statement
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: game for the Eagles, and you know, the biggest statement
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: they made they want and it wasn't a very pretty game.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: It's not going down as a classic, but I think
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: they probably felt good driving home that they won. And
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: in week one, that's your statement, all right. So Jack's

  Speaker 1: were just talking. Um I said that Giants fan or
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Jets fan growing up in New York and you said neither. Yeah,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I grew up a Detroit Lion fan. Actually, I was
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: um my first introduction to football. I guess I was
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: around five or six, and I can recall it. It was.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: It was a Monday night in nineteen seventy and um,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: my parents. I was allowed to stay up late because
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: my parents are gonna bring home a new car. They
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: just bought a nineteen sixty nine Chevy Green Chevy and
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Paula and uh, I just found out, you know, at
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: that age what my zodiac sign was, which is Leo.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: And you know the get the team that was on
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: TV was the Detroit Lions, and they had the Lion
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: on the side of their helmet, and you know, I
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: became a Detroit Lion fan. Lavon Barney played for that club,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: right yeah, yep, Greg Landry quarterback, you know, and then
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: later on they had the great running backs and Billy Simms,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and you know I struggled with them for a long time.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Well you caught him in an area where they stroke.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: They were good right before you started falling probably, yeah, yeah,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and Dick Knight train lane. I had read books when
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I got an older and I love football and you know,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: just learning about the history, but never any interesting. The
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Jets are Giants really no, I mean, you know, not
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: really where I'm from, mostly we're Giant fans, New York
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Giant fans. And then most of the my friends that
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: grew up, which were like cops and fireman you know,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: became Jet fans. And uh it was when I was
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: in high school. I used to play those basketball games,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and you know, I'd be one of those kids that
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: would stand in line and you know, wait to get autographs.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: And you know, I really like Bob Tucker with a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: tight end for the Giants that that played there, and
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I'll never forget. You know, I still have it somewhere.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I had one of those little notepads that you know
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you had when you were in like grammar school, and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: you know, I'd go up there and I'd have all
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the players, you know, you went online and they would
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: sign it. And then when I you know, then I
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: started getting little bit older and coach ourselves was with
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the Giants. They start training at Pace University. You know,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I used I used to
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: go up there and watching practice because I just love
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the game of football. Was the NFL a big deal
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: to you growing up? Was something you sort of following.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I know you're a huge Yankees fan, and how important
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: was football when you were growing up? It was good.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I mean as far as like the cards, and I
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: remember Sinocco ran an ad where they used to have
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: these little stickers and you can put them in books.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: And you know, my dad would go out Monday night
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: and shoot pool and he would come home and it
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: would always be a bunch of you know, he'd always
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: get gas and it'll be a bunch of stickers. And
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I come wake up the next morning and go and
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you know, go downstairs and they'd be laying out for me.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: So I was excited about it. But football was big.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I had. You had the NFL football sheets like you
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: still see now, like the bedspreads and the sheets, and
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: you know, and that's that's that's really, you know, we
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: talked about we talked about football, and we talked about baseball.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: And I had to ask your press conference on Monday,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: You're asked about going home. He said, it's pain. Did
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: that message get out or if you've been besieged as
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: you always are by people that want tickets? No, I
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: think you know, after it's been such a long time. Now,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I think everyone pretty much knows the process and they
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: know where you know, where my mind's at. You know,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: they know that I'm I'm more focused on you know,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: playing the game and not involved with you know, the
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: seeing people and doing those things and um, you know,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and I appreciate that from the people that know me
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: so Um, you know, they know we're going up there
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to play a game, and they know that, you know
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: we're up. My head will be at we were. You
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: don't have people coming to the hotel. You're not that guy.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: It's difficult, you know what what people you try to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: explain it. You know, you land, you get the hotel,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: you have the production meeting, you got to get prepared
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: for the night meetings that you have a night meeting.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Then you have mass and you're talking like now it's
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and you know it's time time to go to bed.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: You want to wake up and you want to be
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: ready to go, and um, you know it's usually it's
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: tough to to fall asleep the night before the game.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I don't have any of those things, Doug, and I
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: still don't want to meet people that tell the night
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: that's fine. I thought you were leaving early to go
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: to New York play, going to the city, have a
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: nice dinner, I get off the bus and get back
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: on the bus. Winning on the road. There's your routine
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: to it, isn't there? Your team ready every week when
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: they go on the road. Yeah, it's tough. I mean
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you go on the road, and I think it's even
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: tough for ourn opening day. So, um, you know, it's
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: a great challenge for our team and it's you know,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: one that we know we try to prepare for the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: best we can. This locker room this week has seemed
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: so excited just to get started for the regular season.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: The excitement is building. Do you see that as well
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and feel that? Yeah, I think it comes to a
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: time where, you know, we coaches, we always want to
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: practice more and do more and be better prepared, you
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: know as you go in because you just you know,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: it's it really is a limited time what you have
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: from Oti's mini camp going into the preseason and then um,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: you know, but there's there's a point where, you know,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the other side of me says, hey, listen, we we
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: need to go start playing. You start getting on each
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: other's nerves, you know, coaches, players, everyone, and you know,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: we just need to go out there and see, you know,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: how our preparation and and work and and you know,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: see where see see what it leads to, you know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: see where it comes to what you know, what are
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the issues we're gonna have. You know, just because the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: season starts, you know, it doesn't mean that you know,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of things to improve on. We still
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: have a lot of things to improve on, and and
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: we'll find out. And you know, these first or a
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: first test is Sunday. You run a physical, demanding camp
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: as much as you can in this day and age. Uh,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: and it seems that your team's come out, or at
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: least last year, ready to play, ready to hit. Have
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: you ever been around a team where you thought, you know,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: we weren't as ready. And I've learned my lesson from
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: that now. I think I was very fortunate that, you know,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: in growing up in this profession and and and just
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: really coming to grips with a philosophy on on on
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: how to play or how to prepare a team, or
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: how to get yourself ready to play. I think it
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: started I go back to, you know, when I first
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: started football, you know, and I give a lot of
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: credit to, you know, my high school coach and obviously
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: my college coach is the Hall of Fame coach, and
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: you know a lot of the coaches that I've been around,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: it's always been about, you know, putting the work in.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: And I've always believed it's kind of one of those
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: things that I kind of grew up in it. You know,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: if you work so hard at something, it's saying hard
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: to quit, you know, And you know, that's one of
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the things that you know, from when I was a
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: kid growing up that my parents helped me with, you know.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: And the other thing was, you know, to make sure
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: if you do something, you do it right and you
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: can you know, you can take pride in it. So
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I never thought of myself as you know, just trying
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: to you know, just kind of get through or guests
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: get to the season, or let's get here and let's
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: start playing. And you know, it's more about you know, fundamentals,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: progressive teaching. Um. I believe in that because I think
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: early on in the season you're gonna see you know,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of it. You know, who can play the
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: game the right way. Penalties will play a big role.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Earlier we saw that last night. I think that you
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: have to have that discipline. But you know, one of
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the things that that I always concerned about is, hey,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: let's just keep it basic. Let's make sure we can
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: you know, we can block, we can tackle, we can
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: take care of the football. I think those things and
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: play fast. You know. One of the storylines this week
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: was it's a new coaching staff. They've made a lot
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: of changes. Uh might not know what's coming from them
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: because they've just been assembled in the last couple of months.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Isn't that though? The truth for any team coming out
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: of the preseason, it's tough to be able to predict
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: exactly what they're gonna do well. I think, you know,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: it's it's always tough in the first I always say,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: like the first two or three weeks until you can
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: get you know, feel of the personnel and the DNA
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: of of of the coordinators in all three phases of
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: how they're going to use their players and what they're
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: gonna do. But schematically you pretty much have a good
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: feel of what you know people have done. I think
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: that you know, um obviously, uh, you know, I have
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: a philosophy, like like we just talked about before, if
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I was hired somewhere, you guys would be able to say, well,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I know he's gonna run camp, you know. I mean
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: you know that we're gonna, you know, do what we do.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: So you know it's a challenge. But like I said,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: you know, you want to be able to play fast.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: You want to make sure your sound, you know, on
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: all your principles of sound, and you don't want to,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: you know, the players to go out there and be
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: confused and and and and have to think. You know,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: you want them to go out there and just play fast.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: And that's one of the keys. So you know, the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: game plans are maybe are not as big as they
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: will be later on, um, you know, as the season
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: progresses and seeing what the players who you know can hold.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: But you know, early on, we just want to make
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: sure that our guys can go out there in a
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: clear mind and just play football. You still have an
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: idea for how special this is to be a part
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: of it as you get forward in a week one,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: just being an NFL coach, having the opportunity of I've
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: been around coaches who in week one take time to think, wow, yeah,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: this is yeah. I think you have to I think yeah, yeah,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I mean I love I love the sport obviously, and
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I love the sport. I don't look at it as
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: you know NFL or Jacksonville or you know head coach
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: or you know assistant coach. I I just I just love,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: you know, the competition, and I love you know, being
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: able to you know, take a philosophy and you know,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: watch us on offense and defense and special teams, coach
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: our players and then have them go out there and
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and and hopefully be successful. I mean, that's that's where,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: you know, and the field of team that you know,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I've always said this before that when you come back
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: in the community, that the community is proud of of
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the team and of the way they play and the
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: way they represent you know, the city that they're from
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: or the college town that they're from, you know, and
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: that's what that's what that's my motivation outside of just
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: loving the sport is that, you know, when people say,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: what's what's a bigger thing for me, Well, the biggest
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: thing for me is when you when you walk around
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: and you see people that have you know, Jaguar shirts
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: on and proud of their football team, knowing that you know,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I was I'm a I'm a small part of it.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not a big part of it. I'm just one
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: of the people that you know, have you know, been
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: blessed to you know, be able to to help these
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: players and help this organization. But you know, it takes
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: it takes a whole village to do that. Any Opening
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Day thoughts, um not stories and he memories from opening
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Day that stand out to you, No, I just I
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: just know. I mean her d was when I worked
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: for him at the New York Jets and he had
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: played ten years in the league, and it was my
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: first NFL job. I was the line coach of New
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: York Jets, and I remember him talking to the team
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: and saying, you know, opening day in the playoffs, so
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the fastest you know football that that will play. And
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I remember thinking myself, I'm like, well, gosh, if that's
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: the case and we're not doing our job as coaches,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, because you would think that
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: every week you gotta go out there and play that way.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: But you know, over the years, I've I've learned from
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: experience that you know, he's right. I mean, it doesn't
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: get much faster than than Opening Day. I mean everyone's
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: ready to go, everyone's hyped up. You know, there's a
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: lot of energy out there, a lot of energy in
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the crowd. Difficult on the road and uh, you know
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: they're players are flying around there and I do agree
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: with them, um that you know, Opening day and the
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: playoffs are are the fastest football you'll see. A head coach,

• 22:07
  Speaker 1: We're not quite full yet a couple more weeks, but
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: it's starting to feel that way. It's gonna feel that way.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: By the way, in New York on Sunday. I think
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the high right now is eight degrees or some wind,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of rain, but a taste of folds.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: We get set to kick off the two thousand eighteen
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: NFL season. Welcome back, Brian Sexton, Ashlyn Sullivan. Um, you
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: can get Facebook on this thing too. Take your bank account.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: He just sticks to a joke. Careful on that one
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: big guy, Careful on that one time. For he will
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: he won't he Mike. If you recall from last year,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: this is where we each choose a player. We say
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: what we think he will do, what he absolutely won't do,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: and what's possible. And John will lead off with you. Well,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Blake Bortles because it seems like
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: somehow he's almost been forgotten as a storyline, which is amazing.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: But now that people are talking about him this week, um,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: he will be. I think a lot more are critical
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: to this game than maybe the pregame build up. Uh.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I saw you guys are picking Naya and got way
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and the Twitter polls got jailing on it and things
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: away from him. Uh, he won't throw an interception? Ryan,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: And uh? Is that because he's going to be that
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: good or because the Giant secondary really isn't uh No,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I think he's going to I don't think what you
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: saw from in preseason with the three picks is going
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: to be what he is. And I also think the
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: game plan is going to be as such. I think
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a run heavy, creative game plan. I
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: think what we saw in the Atlanta game from Nate
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Hackett is what you're gonna see. And I think it's uh.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: They've been talking so much about minimizing that this week
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: that uh, I don't think you're gonna see him throw
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: a pick and uh he might throw three three touchdown passes,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: but if he does that, it's going to be the
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff we saw against Atlanta. It's going to
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: be a rollout short things that his receivers turn into
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: big plays and touchdowns. So I'm going zero and there.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I'm going for a huge game for Bike and he
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: will he won't. He might. Wow, well done john Way
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: to start it off, all right. My guy is a
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: j boy, so I spoke to him earlier this week.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: I think he will come with a new intensity this season.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: He's been on one of the last guys on the
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: practice field all week seems extremely extremely focused going into
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: opening Day. I think he's going to have a new
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: found what is the word I'm looking for, you found
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: focus this year. He won't. He's not going to let
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the outside noise get to him. Especially about Jalen Ramsey
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: and the Odell Beckham Junior matchup. No one really has
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: mentioned him much. He doesn't really seem to care. When
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I asked me, He's like, yeah, I don't listen to that.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I truly believe he doesn't listen to that. He seems
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: so laser focused on football that the outside noise doesn't
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: seem to get to him. And he might make his
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: own place on on Odell Beckham Jr. On Sunday. You know,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: do you suppose that the focus that you're talking about
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: goes back? Remember he was He is a genuine guy.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say he wears his heart in
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: the sleeve, but you can always tell what he's thinking.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: He was genuinely offended by the fact that he was
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: not named Old Pro last year. I mean, he had
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: six interceptions, he led the team, He was I think
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: third in the NFL overall. He had a tremendous season
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: and guys talk all the time about Pro Bowl and
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: not making Pro Bowl, and that kind of goes in
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: one year and out the other with me, because you
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: know how that one is. That is generally a voter
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: driven thing, and there are more fans in New York
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: and Dallas in l A. And but but All Pro
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: is a vote by the Associated Press, by the sportswriters
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: that covered the teams. And he was genuinely I mean
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: offended well to your point. Um, I thinking as I
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: tried to tell him after I forget when it was
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: whatever day it was named. Maybe the next day he
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: was talking about it and the media thing broke up
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: and try to explain he was second team All Pro.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: And I said, that's a bigger honor. I mean, it's
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: not my job to make people realize what they've received,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: but I said, that's a bigger honor than making the
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. Making second team All Pro is a big
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: deal when you go through and if you look at
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: the lists throughout history, past list, second team All Pro
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: is hard to get. Didn't matter, you know, And he
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: and Jalen such a close relationship, the way they play
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: on the field. If I were him, I'd i'd be
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: a little bit ticked off that they're all talking about
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Jalen versus Odell when he probably does full well, he's
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: gonna see Odell hey at some point, and he's been
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: ticked off at jail and talking about I don't I
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: don't see why it would even be productive ticked off Jen,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: But you get my point. There's a little internal motivation there.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: He talks trash on the field, he doesn't talk it
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: off the field. When he gets on the field. I
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: think maybe we'll see a little, a little burrow under
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: his saddle. You can tell what bothers him, like the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: undrafted free agent. That's the heart of the sleep. He
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: carries that way, so you can tell. I think he
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: does wear as hard in his sleep at times. All right, Uh,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: nice job, well done. Um, I'm going with you. He
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: can got way. Here's why he will have a huge
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: game on Sunday, because if you've listened to him over
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the years, well, first of all, because he's had a
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: tremendous offseason. I said this to uh, to Patrick Kavanaugh
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: on the practice field. Either you guys ever go to
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: horse race with someone who knows horses. Yeah, that's right. Okay,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: so you know that the people who know horses. They
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: go and they watch the horses after they go through
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: their workout immediately because they want to see how they sweat, right,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: They want to see how their nostrils flare when they're breathing.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: They want to get they get a feel for it.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: And I don't know what to get into area here,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: but go ahead, alright, Okay. So when American Pharaoh in
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: made his run to the Triple Crown, the first one
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: in you know, thirty whatever years. Um, I just got
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: done reading a book about it. Everyone who saw him said,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: that's special. That force is ready to set to make history,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: to set records the whole nine yards. And I was
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: watching Nikan Gokway the other day and I just watching
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: him as he's warming up, watching him as he's going
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: through the bag drills because we leave the field before
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: they get into any team. Um, I had that same
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: feeling of this guy is he is going to explode
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: this year. And I know you've written it and other
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: guys have said it, but it was the first time
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: that I had that sort of American Pharaoh sort of feel,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: and I thought, this guy is really prime for something big.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Now here's the kicker. His mom is one of the
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: driving forces in his life. Single mom, raised two boys,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: and if you ask Unique what motivates him, he talks
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: about his mom and then little Bertie whispered into my ear.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: His mom will be at the game on Sunday and
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: it's his mom's fiftieth birthday. Now don't you think that
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Unique and Gonkway is going to take that, internalize it
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: and come up with a big game. He's got Eric Flowers,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: who was so so a bust at left tackle the
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: The Giants couldn't even get a second or third day
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: pick for Eric Flowers. Now he's the starting right tackle
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: over there. Um, he's got a challenge in Nate's older
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: and Nate's older shut him down pretty effectively in the
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: a f C Championship game. Um, different scenario, different scheme,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: the whole nine yards. I think he's going to have
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: a very very big star in the season. Um, he won't.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Unique got Kay will not be a liability against the run.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Not that he ever was a liability, but it was
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: not his strong point. I have seen him throughout the
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: course of this training camp play the run better than
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I have seen him play the run in his short
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: NFL career. If he was motivated by anything. It's to
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: be a complete player, not just the pass rusher. And
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: so I don't think that he will be a problem
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: against the run um. In fact, he may be a
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: solution because you've got the linebackers on Barkley. But he's
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: a guy who can run like the linebackers too. H
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: He might. He might pull Las Campbell. He might do
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: a four and a half stack game this week. He
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: might be there. He might. He might be that guy
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: from Osporth Day that comes up with a huge game.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: And I think you're right, Brian. I think where you
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: may see, where he may may where he may make
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: the biggest impact is against the run. To me, there
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: were flashes against Minnesota where you saw him come down
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: the line in pursuit. I don't know that he'll ever
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: be fantastic when they're running straight at him, right, not bad,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: but where he can be really affective, where this whole
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: defense is really effective, when you're chasing from behind, you're
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: chasing the other side, he can be exceptional and that
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: will be critical against a guy like Barkley R. So
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: there you got it, and don Monday, we'll go back
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: and review. He will he won't. He might kind of
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: pay it off for you. Uh. Something else we're doing
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: new here this year obviously, uh is we're going to
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: pick a featured game. He's gonna bring a game to
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: the tip. We're not gonna pick sixteen games. You can
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: find that anywhere. We're gonna sell the game to each
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: other and then make a pick. So John, you want
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: to start? You know, I actually forgot what I was
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Kansas City, Los Angeles Chargers. Could Could you find that
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: on your phone? Yeah? Can I can? But it's not
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: on Facebook. It's it's uh, there's an episode Jaguars dot
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: com free. I think NFL totally free. Cool? Do you
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: have a minute? Look? Um? You know the Chargers she
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: EEFs is intriguing because on paper, there's a part of
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: you that wants to pick both of these teams to
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: win that division. I think they'll both be there all season,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: and yet there's also new quarterback in Kansas City. I
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: would normally be picking the Chargers to win that division.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: They've had so many injuries. My guess is Philip Rivers
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be the difference and he's going to get
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: them to the playoffs this year. Um, I think to
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: start off with there's something about Kansas City, Andy Reid,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: that experience. I think Kansas City wins this coming out
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: of the gate, but I think the Charges eventually get
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: to the playoffs. I think I have the Green Bay Packers. No,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: no, no no, who do you pick for the Chargers' going?
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Chargers as well? You picked the Chiefs though I did.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: She's gonna charge. I'm going Chargers to Okay, now you're game. Okay,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: now my time. Alright, Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: High paid offensive player Aaron Rodgers new Khalil Mack with
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears another high high pay this this game
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: was going to be fantastic anyway. Bears versus Packers at
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Lambeau Sunday night. I mean it's playing of this game,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: which is the most played rivalry in football. It's gonna
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: be good anyway, had Khalil mackin, it gets really fun.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Yea absolutely. Aaron Rodgers is a career quarterback efficiency of
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: a hundred and four point seven. Reading. Is that good? John?
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good? With that? You go with green Bay? John,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: this is the blowout green Bay. All right, we all
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: got that one. Alright. I'm going with Houston at New England.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: UM Houston is interesting to all of us, obviously because
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: they're in the division. It's the return of Deshaun Watson,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: and I I get it. I mean, he played really
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: well before he got hurt last year and looks like
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: a top talent. But we haven't seen enough of it
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: yet for the sort of accolades and and almost crowning
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: that we have seen of Deshaun Watson. Uh, he's coming
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: back up in a c l his second Uh he
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: now has one in each knee. But there's also the
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: return of j. J. Watt, the return of Whitney merciless
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: in that defense. Uh, the addition of Tyron Matthew and
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Aaron Colvin. I just we're interested in this Texans team
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: and how well they're gonna play. But they're going into
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: New England, and now people are starting to write people
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: in places like New York, in l A or you know,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: a a lesser version of Tom Brady, a lesser version
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: of the Patriots. And that may be true because of
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: the talent around him, UM, but I still think that's
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: a difficult challenge for a team, Uh, for Bill O'Brien
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: with the quarterback and all that stuff coming back. So
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Patriots at home, which that's
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: been Tom Brady's m O. This is an interesting game, um, Historically,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: as good as the Patriots have been historically, they occasionally
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: slip early where they surprise you. UM. If Deshaun Watson
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: was more established, more experienced, if they were more together,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: h I would pick the Texans. I still can't go
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: against the Patriots here, but they have had cases under
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Balichick where a Week one game has tripped them up.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: What I can't city do them a couple of years
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: ago and in the first month of the season, you
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: think away way back, oh four. They got got him
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: on Thursday night last year at home. So it's a
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: little dicier than you might think. UM. As a Jaguars fan,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: I think you want the Patriots to get this one
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: because I don't think you want to come in and
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: here on one right, absolutely agree with it's hard to
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: beat the Patriots at home opening day, but you can't
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: be surprised that the Houston Texans pulled off. All right, So, John,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: I have you for the Chiefs, the Packers, and the Patriots.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Is that correct? Yes? It is uh Ashlyn, the Chargers,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the Packers, and the Patriots and you and I are
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: both alike, so we'll play that off on Monday as well.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I have a quick look at the Twitter poll the
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: results so far before we go to our final break,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: and you can see right there Leonard for Nette leading
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: the way. You can vote. Go to well Twitter and
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: that's where you vote on the James Drive on Twitter. Okay, Uh,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: fantasy obviously a big deal, right John? Did you know
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: you can probably get a fantasy out there? Pull up
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: your cheat sheet. Let's go time now you cannot actually
• 35:17

  Speaker 1: on the Friday morning on Jags Drive, I'm in the

  Speaker 1: man who follows us in the studio every day on
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: ten ten x L Myke Dempsey joins us. Now I'm
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: most interested though, in you as the fantasy guy. Are well,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: just because that sounds funny, doesn't have the fan look
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: that up on your phone's But you do so much
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: I mean you do. You do a lot of normal
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: radio and Jackson do, but you do as much more
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: fantasy throughout the week on national radio. Yeah, I probably
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: do about as much. I do five days a week
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Channel on Sirius. I do six to
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: eight p m. Eas from time. And now we're starting
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: a new show on the NFL Radio channel tomorrow that
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: will run from eight to eleven throughout the football season.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, it is big businesses, it's huge business. I mean, honestly,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: among sports channels on Sirious, the Fantasy Network for the
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: months of August and September is the most listened to
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: of any property out there. NFL, ESPN doesn't matter because
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: people are drafting their teams, are following their teams early
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: in the season, and then it starts to fade as
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: they start to fade a little bit, right, all right,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: but for the you know, for the viewers know he's
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: one of the best at this that there is maybe
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: the best nationally. So yes, he works here with us,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: talks Jaguars, but he's really good at this too. Not
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: that Fantasy observer John Osan. We know that's what I hear. Yeah, Okay,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: well I hear, but if you say it boldly then
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: people believe. Okay, So we're sitting next to the very best, right, Yes, right, Yeah,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: I know exactly, and he's he's humble too, will be
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: unless I take the league. Yeah, then we're screwed, all right,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: So give us the scoring system because you're devising this.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: We're gonna play every week a quarterback, a running back,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: a wide receiver, and a tight end. And it's pretty
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: basic for people who play fantasy football. You get one
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: point for every ten yards rushing and receiving. You get
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: one point for every twenty yards passing. Rushing and receiving.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Touchdowns worth six, passing TVs are worth four, and you
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: also get one point for every catch. It's called the
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: PPR league, a point per reception league. So pretty basic stuff.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: If the guys do something positive, you're gonna get points.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: How many leagues are you in, by the way, Oh
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: my god, how do you keep track of that? Well,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: I meant a lot of leaks. You don't have to
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: keep track of that once you draft or done, and
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: you just go with that. I'm in probably I think
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: sixteen that I have to keep track of every week.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: A little mini job, a little mini and what we're
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: gonna do. The twist is we're gonna pick players at
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: these positions. But you can only use whatever player you
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: take today, you can't take them again the rest of
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: the year. So if you take Aaron Rodgers in week one,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: you can't use them again. If Ashley, who had the
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: first pick today, takes Aaron Rodgers or whomever with her
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: first pick, no one else can use that player this week.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: So each player can only be used once per week,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: and once by each person throughout the season. All right, gosh,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: this is pressure. Now should I take Aaron Rodgers because
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: you know it could have been a reverse psychology move
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: by me, But you do have the floor. You get
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: the first pick. I think I gotta go in Tonio Brown.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Tonio Brown never a bad selection. First wide receiver gone
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: not means no one else could take a b John
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: whats your what's your cheep cheeks? I suppose I can't
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: take Julia. Is that you cannot take everywhere we're going
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: to players who have not because I was feeling like
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: a genius last night when I'm going to take I'm
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: playing a long term strategy here. I'm I'm taking Tanny Hill. Okay, wow,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: you are playing a long term strategy here. All right,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: I know what you're doing. You have to think you
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: have to use sixty quarterbacks throughout the year might have
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: to use this week at some point With this, don't
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: you have to take what you think is a lesser
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: guy at some point, Yeah, lesser guy, but you have
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: to plan on having strength as you go forward. Brian,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Joe Mixon for the Bengals against
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: the Colts. I have told Ashley I think the Colts
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: defense might be historically bad. He said it quite often,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: he's kind of meaning them. I think he's right, and
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: facts I've got back to back picks. Um, I will
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: take Andy Dalton and A. J. Green, both of Cincinnati
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: going up against Indianapolis. It might not be that easy, Sexty,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. Kind of works. I'm going to
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: take Jared Goff excellent, excellent pick. If I hadn't taken
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: against anything, going up against Local on Monday night, would
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: have been the next best quarterback value out there, all right,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: John Ashley, Right, Okay, I'm sorry. I want Tyler Effort.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Tyler pretty got to get a piece of that Bengals
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: offense at this point. And the thing with Effort, you
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: never know when he's gonna go on. I R so
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: it's good to get a minute. Honestly, all right, Ashley,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: you have back to back picks now, I'm going big names,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and Gronk Rogers and Gronk Alright, back to you, John,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go h Okay, he thinks it's going
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: to be a shootout indied this week, Brian, back to you.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Tyiki Hill for the Chiefs against
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: the Chargers. Tyreek will Um at least me with back
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: to back picks. I am gonna go with John Are Yeah, John,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: James Connor. I get I'm confused with the terminator sometimes
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: because Lettian Bell is not playing at this point in
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: the season, and who knows when he comes back, this
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: might be the only opportunity to use Connor. I'm gonna
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: go on the theory, get your injury prone players in
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: early with Jordan Read at tight end for the Washington Redskins.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Is you with a tight end pick? Right? I'm gonna
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: go with Jimmy Graham for the Packers against the Bears. Okay,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: and John need a running back running back and mixing
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: is gone. Uh. I'm going to take mother strategy of
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: saving stars for later and go with Alex Collins Collins.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: I think Alex Collins is a great pick this week.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: You know, they're probably gonna handle Buffalo. I thinking in
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: the second half, probably gonna run the ball a lot,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: and that leaves us Ashland with a running back pick
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: for you. I'm gonna go Ezekie Elliott. All right, I
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: think Ashlyn I'm going she went big money on all
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: these guys, and uh, I think she'd be the early
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: lead Rogers, Ezekiel Elliott, Antonio Brown, Gronkowski for Ashland, John Wyth,

• 43:27
  Speaker 1: you watch football like normal people watch football? Can you
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: do that with all the fantasy leagues that you're in?
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Can you watch and enjoy a game without your brain
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: calculating your point total early in the year? I can
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: because I have so many leagues that I figure everyone's
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: playing for me and against me at any given time.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: You know to some degree. You know, I actually got
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: lucky didn't play against Schoolio last night, but didn't know
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: that until this morning. You know, I didn't look, but
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: I can. But you get later into the season. You know,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: I watched Jaguar football from a football perspective. It's when
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: you recover the team, it's a different thing. But when
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: I get home, uh, you know, uh seven to clock
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: on Sunday night, I watched Sunday Night football. I turn
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: off the sound. I'm just watching for stats. Okay, we
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: do something called he will, he won't, he might? Um
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: give us a player. What is the somebody that you'll
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: think for the impact? I thought you listen? Sorry, um so,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: so I took a unique and Gockway this week, right,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: and I said he will, he won't. He might something,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: he'll do something he won't do. Uh, something he could do? Right.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: So with with Unique, I said, it's his mom's fiftieth
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: birthday on Sunday. She's going to be at the game.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: So you know how important she is to him. So
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: I said, he's gonna have a big game. He's gonna
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: come off, just explode out of the gate. I said,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: he won't be a liability against the run this year
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: because he's been so good at it this training camp.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: And I said that he might have a Calais Campbell
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: game for four and a half five sacks, something like that.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: All right, right on the spot here, let's see something.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Will Leonard four nett? Okay, God, he will run for
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: over yards. Uh. He will not be a liability in
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: the passing game. I think they're gonna use him more
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: this year out of the backfield in that capacity. And
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: he might just lead the league in rushing this year.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Does that? Does that? It doesn't happen, Just bang it
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: out of all right, that's it. See and now you
