  Speaker 1: Review. What the Jaguars starting quarterback had to say, the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: rookie out of Washington State defensive bounce back, Well, they
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: need one this week after a struggle a week ago.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: The uniform unveiling Jimmy Luck scheduled at about four or
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: fifteen or so from the Jaguars equipment room to unveil
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: what the Jaguars will wear this week. And then Chris
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Conley will join us in studio. He'll be our weekly
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: co host once they're out of meetings. And we're told
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: today he's bringing his wide receiver mate D D. Westbrook.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Firepower on this show, a firepower, offensive firepower, there's no doubt.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: And then those guys too, Yeah, you know that's the truth.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: So here we are Wednesday, first week, first day of
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the next week, to look ahead, get that Kansas City
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: game out of here, Move ahead. The big topic today
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: was Gardner Minshew and his first real press conference as
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the starting quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Doug Marone was
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: talking about Gardner before practice today and he was asked
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: about his ability to take things from the meeting room,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the classroom, concepts, plays, all that and take it to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the field. It showed in the game last week in
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Kansas City when he was in an adverse situation. Had
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to come out there and just play and wing it,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and they picked up things you did well. But his
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: ability to do that, Doug Maron said, it's a gift.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: It's almost like a guy running of four, three forty.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: You can't really explain it. Not everybody has it, but
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Maron thinks that Minshew has that ability. I'm really trying
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to walk a line here, JP, because I've been in
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the twenty five years. You know me. I'm the krusty
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: old guy now used now you've you've been the old
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: guy for a while, but I used to be the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: crusty young guy. Now I'm just krusty. Um. So I
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: don't want to say that there's something special about and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: based on one game, because I don't really believe the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks aren't gonna come in and get it done.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: But there's something about this guy, the confidence, the ability
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to stand on his own, the things that Dougs talking about,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: which all that stuff taking into the meeting room. You
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: don't start thinking about it until you see what he
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: did in the opener last week and realized that's rare.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: For rookie to do this. I get the kids that
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: he was playing back a little bit, but maybe there's
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: something special about this guy. Uh, sixth round pick always
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: brings up Brady. I'm not close to ready to go
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: there because that's just stupid. But can he be successful?
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Can he be one of these stories that you're talking
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: about in five or six weeks? Uh? Maybe he can.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: He's got everything and he had a stronger arm the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: other day than I thought he did. I mean I
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: was ready to write him off because the arm strength
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: he made every throw the other day to tell him,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: knock on him. Can he throw the ball? Can he
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: pushed it down the field? Now, even on that ball
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: he doubled clutch before he let it go. And still
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: it's not deficient the arm strength. So he sure show
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you don't complete five when you're throwing the ball down
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: field a little bit if you can't do it. I
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: just as we came on, I was finished up a
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: story I'm writing for tomorrow. Why not this guy? Why
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: can't he be that guy? And everything about him, the demeanor,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: there's there is something magical about it. I don't know
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: if it's going to translate, but I feel a lot
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: better about it translating than I did before last week,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and the things that Doug marrone keeps talking about. You've
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: been around Doug for a couple of years. He's not,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: you know, give him to hyperbole. He's not gonna run
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: around waving the flag for somebody if he doesn't believe it.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And he's not really one to even falsely pump a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: guy up in the media, even if it's the quarterback.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: He's not gonna give him false confident. Two weeks ago
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: he was saying in public, I'm not sure if this
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: guy is ready to be the guy. And now all
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: of a sudden in the last couple of weeks, I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: think Doug's being honest when he says he thinks this
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: guy can get it done. Wouldn't that be cool because
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: it'd be better than the alternative When this happens to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the Jags, you expect, boy, this is just gonna flush
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the season. Forget it um, Because first backup quarterback in
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the opener is usually a formula for a disastrous season.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think it has to be this time. It
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: was interesting hearing him speak today for the first time
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: as the starting quarterback, as the guy we heard him
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: after the game, of course, but yeah, just a different
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: kind of demeanor today. And he still has that presence
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: about him, and you know, you can see why people
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: kind of gravitate to his personality and the way he is,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: but there is a business side of this guy too,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and he kind of mixed and matched both of them.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I think in the interview today, I read it somewhere
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and I've read so much about it this week that
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I want to give you credit. I don't remember who
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: said it, but they emphasized the point this this is
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a kid who is comfortable in his own skin. And
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that's obviously not this person's own line here that all
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the time, but the fact that he is and he's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: so comfortable in his own skin, he knows who he is.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And I was trying to articulate this all day and
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I haven't done a good job of it. But here's
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: this guy JP who in the NFL quarterbacks are always
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: trying to fit in. Everybody in the NFL these days
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: is is a robot quarterback. They're going to the camps
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: when they're eighteen years old. They look the part. They
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: all look like Blaine Gabbert and they're standing up there
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: they look, and you know they all look that part.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: This kid doesn't bother trying to be that. He's confident
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: in himself. You walk into training camp with Tom Couf
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: from the building. He's the ultimate of old school and
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you're wearing a leisure suit in a bandana, and you realize,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: with this kid, he understands it's about his work, it's
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: about his preparations about what he does in the field.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: He's confident enough in his own ability to prepare and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: be professional in his walk that he doesn't really care
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: what people think of how he acts. That's a little twisted,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and I like that, but I think it shows you
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: he's confident. You gotta be yourself and he's absolutely himself
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and he but he that alone wouldn't be close to enough.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: But everything you hear is he packages it. He is.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: He is prepared man, he is ready. Teammates like him.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: We can share the story about Marquis Markis has some
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: great stuff to say about him today. Teammates like him.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: We want to play for him, and they're confident in
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: guy goes out there and and gets the job done
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and doesn't really complain about it. And the guys kind
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: of we'll hear from d d and and Churs coming
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: up on this as well and get their perspective, and
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: it'll be great on it because they're around him all
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the time, you know. And and Marquis was the same
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: way today, and it'll be fun to to hear those
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: guys coming up a little bit later on the show today.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Defense they need to bounce back week in a big,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: big way. We talk about Gardner some more. We got
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: we can get back to Gardener a little bit later.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: This is a huge topic this week though, of course.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And then the question marks on the Jaguars defensive line.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: A couple of guys out of practice today. You need
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: can Gokua, Calais Campbell, we're not out there. And Doug
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Ron said in the press conference today that wasn't really
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: sure who's gonna be ready to play on Sunday yet
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: it's Wednesday. That might become clear as the days go
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: along here. But you know, this is a against the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Shawn Watson. You gotta go get home against this guy
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: that the Saints did it six times on Monday night. Um,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: this has to be where it starts on defense. Yeah,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: there's a couple of edges on the knife of this
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: story if you will. One is that boy, if if
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Campbell and and got Way aren't there, then that takes
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: away what you would expect the Jaguars major edge to be.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: If if you were doing the old check boxes on
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: each the one area you would favor the Jaguars defensive
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: line versus the Texas defensive line. Figure, if they're gonna
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: win this game, that's how they're gonna do it. Uh
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a storyline. And plays. Campbell today
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: wasn't overly effusive in thinking he was gonna play. And
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: he didn't say I'm not going to, but he wasn't yes, absolutely,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I'm going. You know, I think he's gonna have a question.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I think God is gonna have a question. That's not great.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: But the other side of it is, even if those
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: guys are out there, Jaguars secondary has to cover better.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, if if they don't cover better than the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: other day, I don't think Jard's defensive whin I had
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a bad game the other day. I think my homes
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: was able to get rid of the ball and about
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: one point five seconds most of the time to where
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: no matter who had been back there or who'd been
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: trying to rest the pastor it wouldn't have mattered. So, yeah,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: those guys can be healthy, but the back seven's gotta
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: play better. That was bad. Yeah, a lot of miss assignments,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: some mental errors, some mis tackles. Everything happened. They pretty
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: much covered the gamut of what not to do. That's
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: not good. No, well that wasn't good. The other day
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: it was. It was far from it, and it all
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: added up to the same thing. And it doesn't get
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: easier this week. And we've got great receivers in Houston.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Obviously Hopkins gonna leads the way there, but they've got
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: other guys that can play too. Yeah. I think this week,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and I said this a couple of times this week,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: this game has a chance to defind the season for
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the defense and the team and early for that. But
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I think it must win. I mean I and again,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: you've been running for a long time, JP, I I
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: don't get into September. Must win. But with the rookie quarterback,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: with as poorly as a defense played, you've got to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: re establish yourself. If this is who you are you,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: if if you think you're a great defense, you can't
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: be that two weeks in a row. You can do
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: it once and say, well, we had a bad game,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: but now you got a chance. You're going into Shawn Watson,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: who Doug I think correctly said today will be in
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the m v P race. Uh if he plays like
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: that on Monday night every week up, Yeah, you can't
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: have another stinker. And it's it's the worst possible game
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: for in Gockway and Campbell to be down. I don't
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: in saying that. There's every possibility that, hey, we're just
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: trying to get these guys healthy Wednesday. How much do
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: these guys really need to practice. They're not If they
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: don't practice until Friday, I have no problem with him playing.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: But it's a it's gonna be a topic, and I
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: think it's a huge game. It's it's a big a
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: week two games because of the circumstances, because of the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: way the wheels went off last year. You don't want
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: a big mountain to climb earlier this year because who
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: knows what happens to the confidence of this team. We've
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: seen the matchup of Ramsey versus Hopkins a good bit.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: We know what Hopkins can do with the Jags are
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: faced off against him a lot, and he hasn't over
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: his career necessarily towards the Jaguars every time. The last
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: time out played well. He's has five touchdowns in twelve
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: games against the Jaguars. But he's a guy obviously that
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: you know, can can turn a game the wrong way
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: for your defense in a hurry if you mismanaged this thing. Yeah,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I mean I think Jalen I forget when he talked
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: about this, but um may have been last year and
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: DeAndre had had a good game against him, and usually Jalen,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: even when a guy is a good game against him,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: he won't really acknowledge, you know, hey, hey whatever, Um,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Jalen made the point. Look, this guy is fantastic. He's
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: gonna catch back. He's gonna catch a point being I
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: think you can have a good game against DeAndre Hopkins
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and Hopkins get six catches for yards us as long
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: as it doesn't destroy it. Now, I don't think Jalen's
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: going in saying I hope we give up yards. But
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: you can play very well against this guy and he
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: can still be productive. What you don't want to have
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: happened is him to blow the doors off the game
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and have a two fifty yard you know, he's capable
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: of Sammy Watkins type numbers. What Sammy Watkins had last week,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: He's capable of that every week. So, uh, I think
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: he's reached the level DeAndre Hopkins out. You want to
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: be able to make sure that he doesn't destroy the game.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: And if he gets seventy eight yards, he's not destroying
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the game. That's they expect that when they line up,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: so I and Jalen to do fine, but you don't
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: shut this guy out anymore. He's too good. Final thought
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: on the Texans here. You spoke with John McClain or
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the Houston Chronicle earlier this week for an article on
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com for website check it out, and one
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: of his comments was, and we're gonna hear from Texans
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: folks throughout the week building up to this game about
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the Clowney trade to Seattle and then what they gave
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: up to get Tunsil and Stills in from Miami. And
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the fans are all over Bill O'Brien right now. So
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: when things don't go well or there's oh, there's a sack,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Tunsil gives up a sack, it's it's magnified times one
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: hundred right now, It's a delicate kind of balance right now.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: But it seems like the Texans internally, I don't really care.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: They gotta win right now. They gotta win this season.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: On the Clowney trade, uh, they knew by the time
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: they gave up Clowney that they were going to have
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: to give him up. He was gonna be traded. And
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: at that point, you know, I'm sure the fans believe
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: they mishandled. It shouldn't have got to that point, but
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: it was there. So they just said, okay, we have
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: to get whatever we can get. On the Tunsil trade,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of times fans forget and in the media too,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: forgets that not every first round draft pick is created equal.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: The Texans believe that they traded to late round picks
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: to get Tonsil two Tavin Bryant's if you will. You know,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: that's a much different proposition than giving up elite player ground,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: which is you know, one through eight, one through twelve
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: in that range. So they believe they gave up a
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: couple of seconds in reality, not a couple of Jalen
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Ramsey elite guys. And they believe that you weren't going
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to pick a franchise left tackle at number twenty two overall,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: which is where they expect to pick now. If their
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: seasons blow up and they and they're picking fifth the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: next two years, then all of a sudden, that's a
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: horrible trade. I don't think they don't believe they'll do that.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: And as you indicated, Bill O'Brien is there the people
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: involved with this. This is what you get when you
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: get GM is making decisions based on we need to
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: win now and daring win now mode. He's essentially the
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: GM from what John said, and that's what he is.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: So coaches have the mindset of I need to win now,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: and this is that come to life. Well, you hear
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: about that all week long. We going ahead of this
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: game down in Houston week to the Jags and the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Texans coming up. But when we come back, Jimmy Luck
• 14:21

  Speaker 1: lock here's the head equipment manager. He's not talking to
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: me at all. He's typing away. I don't know what
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: he did. He even say hello to you that I
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: don't know. I wasn'tmpressed with that you talked to John McClain.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Was he lie from not comy Plaza? Yeah, die hard
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: John McClain. This would be a different Jimmy. Thank you
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: for the deep track the to me either. But I
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: know a movie Christmas or everybody? Is it not? No,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: it's not Christmas every It just happens around Christmas. How
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: How warm was it on the field Sunday? It was hot?
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: It was very hot. Um. You looked at some some
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: thermometers read higher than others. Um, but it was definitely hot. Uh.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: He needs some sunscreen, lots of gatorade and water. It was.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: It was a warm one out there. We needs some
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: shades enough to even function right, like hot. I didn't
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: move around a whole lot, which usually you're like a cat.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, normally I am, but it was had had
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: to pace myself. Yeah yeah. And then of course for
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: for the guys, I mean, it's you just gotta stay
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: hydrated and deal with it, right yeah, and I can
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: you know the training staff was pumping water down on
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: gatorade everything, you know, hot shot, these little things that
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: keep them from cramping. So I mean, I don't really
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: remember too many guys cramping. Um really if any? Um,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: so you know, I think we were we were prepared
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: for it. That's a silly question, I'm sorry. Do any
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: of them change anything at halftime? Is there any like
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: change jerseys or there's just no time to do that.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: There's there's not a lot of time. Um, But we
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: did have a couple of guys change tights or change chance. Yeah,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: like um um Lambeau he didn't normally swept that much
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: and so he was a little uncomfortably in all so
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: he changed. But but most of the players don't. Not
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: with these new age jerseys, does it truly matter the
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: color of the jersey? For the heat is black still
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: hotter than white and all that stuff. I think it's
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: more of a mental thing. Um. I think the materials
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: are you know, so high tech now that it doesn't
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: really matter, But there's still that mental thing that is
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: kind of tough to get over. Can you imagine a
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: day like that back in the day when the jerseys
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: were caught? Oh yeah, you know cotton And I don't
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: know how he did it. He didn't do that, he did,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: so there you go. But I did I did bring
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: you guys a little something here. Oh what he got?
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: So I bought you got some headbands? Oh he's a
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: gardener Minshew. Headbands. I need. I need a bigger with
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: than that. I mean, I got a lot of headbands there.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: You don't wear this, put it on? Well? I got
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the road hat on. What we're weary? Oh, will wear
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: that all day? That very nice, Thanks Jimmy. It'll go
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: right in the collection. Thank you. All right, here's uh
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: so all right? Last week it was what white on white? Right?

• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Houston gets to pick, of course as the home team.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: So are you ready to unveil? And it's one of
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: those little nuances, um, yeah, because they do get to pick,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: but we'll we'll go with We're going with the white pants, okay,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: white pants, and because the Texans are wearing their white jerseys,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: we are going with the black jerseys black over white
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: on the road in Houston. Week two. How about that?
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew making the first NFL start this week against
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: the Texans. He didn't know any better. You would think
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: this was minshew right now with the head band, you
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: guys have a kind of look alike. Young athletic, Yeah, whitty,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: whip smart, Yeah, all that the glasses glass, he likes
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: wearing glasses. It's all there. Uh, it's how's he gonna
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: do with so far? How much have you interacted with Gardner? No,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: he's he's a good kid. He's he's pretty quiet. Um,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: he's he's a character, but you know, he's he's not
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: like a loud character or anything. He just you seem
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: and you just kind of chuckle, and you know, because
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: he's always got like a kind of a funny look
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: on his face or his mustache, is doing whatever, and
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and then he'll he's but he's quiet. He goes about
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: his business and you know, I mean he's in his
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: playbook before the game, whether he's playing or not. And
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: he gets along with you guys very well and is
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: very professional. I mean, he just strikes you because of
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: his background. He's been at four different places. He's a
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: kid who knows how to come in deal with new people.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I bet from immediately you can tell he was a
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: mature kid when you first met him. Yeah. No, he's
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: been really good. I mean, we try to give him
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: new shoes. He's got some old ones he likes wearing,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: so it's just like, hey, if you need some more,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: here they are. But he keeps going back to his
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: old faithful probably a guy who bugsy for extra gear
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: that game. Yeah, maybe some scissors to cut some sleeves
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: off or something. Well, now he's the starting quarterback for
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars and he'll be wearing black jersey with
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: white pants in Houston this week. And Jimmy, it's always
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: good to see it appreciated. That's awesome, But it was
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: that new era. Ye have the new era headbands. They

• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Are you a Game of Thrones? Got job? I watched it.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: My wife and my son were both into it. I
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: watched it sort of along with them at times, enough
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: to follow the story a little bit. I can sort
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: of tell you some parts. But I wasn't hardcore. I
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: wasn't mad because the last season didn't live up to
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: my expectation. I never I never watched one episode. I'll
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: be honest with what if I wanted to get into
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the into it, I could go to the concert experience, right, Yeah,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: where's your head band? So we got Gardner fever, right,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: everybody's got Minshew fever now, So he was wearing a
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: headband today. I'm all in. But I think we're all in.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: I don't need I don't need the quarterback to wear
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: a headband for me to where I head to him.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: You're your own, you're your own guy. I was doing
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: it long before he did. We're gonna pick players to
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: watch each week. You know, in the past on this
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: show it was what do we call it? Deep track?
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Is what we called it? Yeah, that's it. And when
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: we pick a song, it was a deep track on
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: the album. It was just a lot of the pain
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: in the backside, is what it was. So we're just
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: gonna pick players to watch. Is that easier for you?
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: It's fine whatever. He's good for me here for me
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: as well, so and certainly easier for Joe and I
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: think this is a more straightforward way we can open
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: it up to more player. I'm gonna start though, that's okay,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: good my players to watch this week. And I don't
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: know if he's gonna play, but he was kind of
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: back out on the practice field today this last week's game,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Marcel Darius Jaguars defensive lineman. With all these other guys
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: not practicing today, a couple other guys, if he can
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: get back from that elbow issue and get back on
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: this defensive line this week, I think it's huge for
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: this defense. He's you know, they gotta get up the field,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: they gotta stop the running game, all of that, and
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: the more experience they can have and they're more guys
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: available to do that. He's a really good football player
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: when he's able to be, and I'm hoping he's able
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: to be this week. That's one of my guys this week.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Will Richardson Jr. Is the other one offensive lineman. Started
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: a left tackle last week, and you know, even if
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Cam Robinson is ready to go, then you would get
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the feeling Will is gonna be on the field somewhere,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: whether it's a right guard or you know whatever. Um
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Tony Wasselli raves about how he played left tackle last week,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and if he's not the left tackle, he's gonna be
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: on the field. And he's a confident young man. So
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: those are my two guys to watch the this week
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: because I guess what you're playing the Texans defense and
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: they have J. G. Watt lining up against him this week. Yeah,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: and I think Darius is Key. I don't want to
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: say they would have won the game that if you've
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: been on the field, that's a little you know, when
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: you lose as bad as they did. I don't know that.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: But this is the guy who gets penetration consistently up
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: the middle, prevents quarterbacks from stepping up, which is what
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: teams want to do when you have good edge rushers.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: He makes it more difficult to do what Mahomes was
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: able to do last week, which is just take a
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: little step by a little time. Marcel makes that very difficult.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: He also is very good at stopping the run. A
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: lot of the gashing plays over guard that it seemed
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: like Kenzie was able to get easily last week. Marcel
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: is a Pro Bowl level or in all pro level talent.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: When you lose that out of the middle of your defense,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: remember what they were in seventeen before him and after him.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: In terms of the run. He matters on this team,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. Sat good pick go ahead.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I believe I went Leonard Fournette was one of them.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: That's sort of obvious when you got Gardner Minshew. Uh.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: In this day and age, it's not as common anymore
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: for offenses to be built around the running game and
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: for quarterbacks to need a good running game. That is
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: sort of in the past for a lot of teams.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: But with a young quarterback and with a team that
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: wants to run the ball for Nette is key. But
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: but more than just Leonard Fournette. It's about this offense
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: needs to run. They need to show a little more
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: consistently some things they started to show against Kansas City
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: last week. So I think as long as Minshew is
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: the quarterback for Nett's gonna be key. Leonard fort you
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: gotta run the gott to run the ball. And you know,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: he had a couple of He had a fumble last
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: week and he dropped the ball at the space mask
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: for the interception. Those are the only kind of real Yeah,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: but that's not him. It's not normal that had He's
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: been criticized a lot, analyze scrutinized all that stuff, but
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: he has not been fumble prone. I thought the one
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: humble he had, uh, the past came in way too hot,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: and it was a tough catch. You gotta make it.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: But I think Gardner Minshew with more experience wouldn't throw
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the ball that hard the fumble. Leonard caught it, and
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: as soon as he caught it, the arms kind of
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: got wrapped a little bit and it was tough to
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: hold on too. I don't think that's gonna be his
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: m O. Some fumbles are just inexcusable. If the guys
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: carrying the ball like a loaf of bread. Uh, that
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: wasn't really this fumble. So I don't think it's gonna
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: happen very often for Leonard for net Who's I kind
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: of forget, But I'll see. Oh Ronnie Harris well, and
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: this to me is more pertinent. He uh had a
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: tough game in his first game as they started. He
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: started a couple of games last year, but as as
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the starter with this kind of spotlight, he went after
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: the interception early. They give the Sammy Watkins play. Uh
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: seemed to me to be playing with his hair on
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: fire a little too much, you know, going for plays
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: that were too big. I think the whole secondary could
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: learn from Just play the defense, Just play with your
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: assignments are don't go for the big play every time.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I think Ryan Harrison will get better as he sort
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: of settles down and doesn't try to make every big
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: play seem like. There's maybe a little of that for
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: him last week. Um so, but he's got to get better.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can't have at the safety position. You
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: can't have your aggressiveness hurt for sixty five yards or
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: for fifty yards, which is what it did on Sammy
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Watkins play. You have to be the last line of defense. Yeah,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I can't have the tawns, can't have all that. Even
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: mentioned that obviously, that's I think he had one last year.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: So this is a little bit of a trend and
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: it's gotta stop. And you know, I think and you
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: probably have talked him more than I have, because you
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: guys like to go with the Christmas you know why,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: the Crimson Tide games, So I'm sure you know him
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: a little more. My thought from watching him so far
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: is he's a young kid who's really fired up, didn't
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: play early as much as he would have liked to,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: is excited about proving that he belongs in this secondary.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Uh is very confident, but both of his taunting penalties.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: If memory, sirs have been when they're trailing, have been
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: when their way down, and there is a point where
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: and this is not just drowning, but the entire team
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: grow up. Stop doing that, realize the situation. Don't taunt
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: when you're down. It's just a bad look. And you
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: know it's time to stop. Because he can. He can.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I don't remember that being a problem in Tuscaloosa in
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: college and all that stuff, and that's just kind of
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: a kind of thing early in his career. Well, the
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: third round taken talented and I'm sure very anxious to
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: prove belongs and he's got talent busting at the seams.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: If we are you look at this guy should be
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: a big time player, and I think he's very anxious
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: to prove that. My senses, as things sort of calm down,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: he'll play more within himself, and I still sense that
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: he'll be fine. Those are our players to watch. I
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: had that Dorius and Richardson, you had Harrison and for that,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: And it's as close to a must win as you
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: can have in a week. Two games, and if they lose,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: ire coming here next week and call the next week
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: it must win. I get all that, but for the
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: mentality of this team, if they hadn't gone through it.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: I just kept having this feeling on Monday talking to
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: guys in the locker room. You were here in the
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: same stuff you heard last year at Week eight, and
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: when you're losing as it did last year, turned into
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: a broken record. Hey, we still got it. We're going
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: to rally with a lot of fans, are all their
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: eyes and I get it. I do too. You can't
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: have that become a broken record this early in the season.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: If if it does, h even the strongest locker rooms
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: have trouble overcoming that. This is still a locker room
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: after last year trying to learn how to piece all
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: that together and learn how to win, learn how to
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: come together. I can't go into will be tough. Yeah,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's a must win. I gotta have it
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: this week in the division and then quick turn around
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the week after that against those Tennessee Titans coming home
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: for Thursday night football on the telout. Yeah. I don't.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to think about Owen too.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: If if, if Tennessee is coming a right, because Tennessee
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: has pretty much owned the head to head the last
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: few years around. But at the same time I'm sitting here,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Sky's falling. Guy. You win Sunday and at three days
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: later you had a chance to play at home and
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: it's a team that you shouldn't match up that poorly against.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: It's not over. You just got it. At some point.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: You can't keep talking about what you're going to do.

• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Night football, coming up Chris Conley, Jaguars wide receiver DD
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Westbrook will join him there in meetings and should be
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: out in UM in mere moments, and they will join
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: us in this studio. It's fun to watch those guys
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: this week. I mean that that was a big topic
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: going into the season. What will this receiver room look like?
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: You know, Chris Connley had never really been the guy
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: in Kansas City, was a fourth fifth guy there and
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: had some some time in moments there in Kansas City,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: but not a lot right. See d D. Westbrooks, the
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: guy that everybody was hoping this offseason was really gonna
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: take a step and and looked like he had some
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: things going and training camp. We'll hear from these guys
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: about that coming up. But DJ Charts stepped up, had
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: a huge game and in his first you know, big
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: moment and as a receiver in the National Football League.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: And it's a good sign because they need these guys,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: especially now all the rookie quarterback back there. They need
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: these guys and stuff play well. Yeah, and uh deed
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: he caught the touchdown past. I'm sure de would have
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: liked to he caught more balls. But I'm not worried
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: about D. D. Westburgh. I think he is. We saw
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: last year what he's capable of being as the offense
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: gets more comfortable, and he'll get better as the offense
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: starts to get more efficient, because he starts me as
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: the kind of guy who can work in and out
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: of of seams, of who knows how to read what
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: defenses are doing as defenses start trying to stop other guys.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: DD's the kind of guy who sneaks in and makes
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: a big play across the bim makes a big play
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: down the scene. Uh. He will get better as the
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks get more comfortable with what you're doing and get
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: to him and and you know from last year what
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: he's going to be. Connolly, I think getting some big catches. Uh,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: seems to have that ability. If there's a guy on
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: this roster. You think if we're on second and twelve
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: and we need somebody to run a crossing route, I
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: think Connley and Shark have both shown they can do that.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: That's a hard route to pick up third and twelve.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: You have to come in and put your foot in
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: the ground and you know, angle across the safety, make
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: the right read on the depth that you want to
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: be running. And both of those guys are big and
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: physical enough to make that play. I think as as
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Minshew gets more comfortable as they start going down field
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: a little more in that sort of past, not the bomb,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: but in a fourteen twenty yard route type of thing.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: That's what you'll be looking for. And I think Conny
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: started selling in that role. Ask him if you think
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: if he agrees that you're probably saying that it's wrong.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: You couldn't be more trust the old senior writer and
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: wrong and defensively we touched on the defense earlier, and
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: you know even those is gonna be up. Doug Moron
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: was just didn't have the great tone today when he
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: was talking about those guys on the defensive line. It
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: didn't have a confident tone about it. Yeah, if you're
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: into reading tones of Doug Moron, but two guys didn't
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: go today with in Goquay and Klaas Campbell, and that's
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: not a good sign. That sounds like a movie title
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: from the sixties, the tones of Doug Moron. Um. I
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: always hesitate with Doug to read too much into his
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: body language, his tone, because he tends to be down.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: So sometimes when he's just being honest, which is on Wednesday,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: when you're talking about guys around the injury report, he's
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: basically saying, look, I don't know what's gonna Hey. It
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: sounded me like he was basically saying, look, if they're
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: out on Wednesday, you're always concerned. But I don't want
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: to jump to conclusions of him saying, boy, I'm really
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: worried about these guys not playing. Klaus has been on
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: injury reports a lot in his time here. They tend
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: to rest him if anything is remotely wrong they tend
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: to rest him on Wednesdays, and he'll be on the
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: injury report anyway. I get the I got the idea
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: from Clays. Maybe he's a little more worried than he
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: usually be on a Wednesday today from listening to him,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: But you still sort of can't imagine him not being there.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Yn typically has played through. He's a gamer. I I
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: just don't see. I think Jan finished the game after
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: the hamstring and and Claius did too. Uh. That's not
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: always a great sign, but if it's a sprain, sometimes
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: you can play through it with the soft tissue stuff,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: like he's what Yehn had. It strikes me they're probably
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: resting him and you play signed I right now expect
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: both of those guys to play, especially yeah, I mean
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: contract to year and everything that happened, Like he's got
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: to get out there and play. Yeah, well it's always
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: his contract or not with Yon. If he can play,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: he's going to, So you don't worry about that end
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: of it. I you know, of course, I thought Marcel
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: was gonna play last weekend. I was wrong. So, uh,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: my guess is they had the full line going on Sunday.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: That would be a good defense it would be nice, yes,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: after all this talk today about that, and if you
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: get um Marcel Darius back with that group, then you're
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: a pretty good shape. But with the back end though,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: with this challenge we talked about earlier, with the hop
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: and the rest of those guys coming from Houston, they've
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: got to be on it this week and they've got
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: ready to go and you do. And again you heard
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: talk this week of the secondary missed a lot of assignments,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: had some cases where you know, one defense was called
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: and guys aren't covering guys running across the field, and uh,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: that is a little bit too much of a pattern
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: for that group back there. It's happened last year. They
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: the defense after Indianapolis last year and after for Tennessee,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: which which were there too, sort of off the Rails
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: games last year. They came back at both games and
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: played very, very very well the entire group. But at
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: some point you can't keep doing that if you're going
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: to be an elite defense and elite players. So, uh,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: it's time. I think they will come back and play
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: well against Houston. I think they'll be focused, they'll be
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: doing everything right and use it. When this group does
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: everything right, they play very well. But right now with
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: the quarterback being out, with you B and O and one,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: with you having two division games up, the defense now
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: has to rally together and say what can we do
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: that we haven't done? We don't have any more margin
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: for air. Needs to be the message, Look, you can't
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: have a brain fade game this week and come back.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: We have to win three or four row. This has
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: to be something where we're the league is talking about
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: is so we'll see the group's talent enough to do it,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: just have to do it. Think about what's happened in
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: this division the last couple of weeks. You know, Andrew
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Luck calls it a career um, everything that's happened in
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Houston with the trades and and Tonsil and all that.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Of course in Tennessee you just don't know what's gonna
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: happen quarterback quarterback there, and then now in Jacksonville with
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: Nick Foles. That's a lot of storylines over the last
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: two or three weeks in the ANFC South and then
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, who I guess, if you're looking
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: at it right now, who is the top dog of
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: the division. It seems like Houston, right, Yeah, there's no
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: question right now, Houston has the best quarterback, and they're
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: a team that's been in the playoffs when healthy at quarterback.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: These teams have been in the playoffs every year since
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: what two thousand fifteen, I think so, or maybe before that,
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: but when they were down at quarterback and when Watson
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: was hurt, it is the only time the last four
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: years they've been in the playoffs. So until somebody shows
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: that they're better than Houston, than Houston the team to beat,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: and after that, I would say Tennessee than Indian Jacksonville
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: because Jacksonville had the worst game last week and the
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: thing that was supposed to be their strength didn't show up,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: so and their quarterbacks out. So if you're not completely
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: close to the team you're looking, you're looking at it
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: right now. Thinking then during the bottom quarter of the league,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: it's up to this team to change it, and and
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: there's talent to do it. But right now this defense
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: looks like an immature unit and they have to prove
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: people otherwise. Chris Connelly d D Westbrook are on the
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: way to the studio, we're told, and they'll be joining us.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: The meetings are out on a Wednesday and we'll hear
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: from the Jaguars wide receivers coming up. You know, back
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: to this division, Like we said, Houston has, it's a
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: good matchup against the Jaguars, right. The Jags have not
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: figured out this Titans thing over the last few years.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: It's just been an issue indie you know. Um, but
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: there's a little bit of light there maybe. But the
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: next two weeks you get the top two teams that
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: you've had struggles with historically over the last five four years.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Really um and then but it's in an environment now
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: where you have to go win these games. It'll be
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: a monumental four. You play the Texans on Sunday, you
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: fly back and four days later you're playing the Titans.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: You could be two and one, feeling great about yourself.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: You could be able in three and be out of
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: division race. That's true, and you know that's obviously technically
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: you're not. But you got a rookie quarterback. And if
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Tennessee would happen to win this week and you fall
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: three behind, uh, then you know, making up that ground
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: would be a great story. Put it that way. But
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: I the way Mintshew played on Sunday at least gives
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: you hope that the formula is not ridiculous, meaning if
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: the defense plays well, and this is tougher to do
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: than it used to be. Before passing offenses came to
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: dominate the league, teams could get by with a defense,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: a great defense, running game, and then mamagining the quarterback position.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: That's harder now because more teams score so much they
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: get out of reach of you. They score so much.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: You can't do that. But minshew, this offense put up
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: nineteen points the other day in his first game, and
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: six if you count the mop up touchdown. They can
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: see it wouldn't surprise me if this team can score
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: twenty one points every game. Right now, you scored twenty
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: points every game in this league with this defense, you
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: should be able to win a handful enough until Foals
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: gets back the defense place. And you know, I've gotten
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: questions all week in the other zone. Is it time
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: to say this defense just isn't what we think it is. Well,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: there was a little bit of a myth last year
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: that it wasn't a good defense. It had three or
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: four stinker games. Beyond that, if you look at the
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: end of the season last year, six out of eight
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: times they played at a very high level in the
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: NFL these days, if you play twelve out of sixteen
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: good games on defense, we feel like often it's so
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: skew toward offenses. Offenses are gonna get you every now
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: and then. It's just there's no five beers anymore. It's
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: not gonna happen anymore. So these events wasn't bad last year.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: There's no reason to think that that worse this year.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: What you have to hope is bad game by the
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: secondary in exactly the kind of game that they can't
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: do that. You can't have your bad game against Casey.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: They did. They're not that bad if they played at
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: their level. The defensive honest, be able to get pressure.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: The formulas still there, they have to execute it. Just
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: some Texans coming up Sunday, Chris Connley and d D.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Westbook right around the corner, headed down the hall, we're told,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: and they'll join us here in just moments, and I
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: think I hear them coming through the door as we speak.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: It will be our first. Well. We had Chris on
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: right before the preseason started for a Wednesday, and he'll
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: have a guest player with him usually on each week
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: here on this program. Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Fields Auto Group, and that is certainly the case again today.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Chris Connley in his first year with the Jacksonville Jaguars,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: a third round picked by the Chiefs back in signed
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: as a free agent by the Jags this Arch after
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: the Nick Foles audition. Here the last week's football game,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: of course against Kansas City. Six receptions ninety seven yards,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: a career best for him, and a touchdown in that
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: game against his former team. He started thirty five games
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: in his career, seven touchdowns now in his career. For
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: Chris Conley, who joins us now d D. Westbrook his
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: guest today, we'll join us and of course the draft
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: pick of the Jaguars. He had a touchdown in last
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: week's game, the fourth round, picked by the Jags out
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: of Oklahoma just a few years ago. And we welcome
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: in Chris Conley. You'll be our regular co host on
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: this Wednesday program. Get the mic a little closer to
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: there we go. How are you, Chris? What's up? I'm well,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: I'm well. It's good to be back again in here
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: with my friend and teammates, you know, bringing him in
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: here to you know, ask him a couple of questions
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: this week, you know, um about just the mindset of
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: the offense going into a week two game, a division
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: game where both teams were hungry for a win. What's
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: your mindset going into this game to build on a
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: good first game? Focus? You know, and with that being said,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: not necessarily saying that I lack focus is just coming
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: off a loss. You know, you gotta pretty much turn
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: to something. And I felt like last week I need
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: to dial in, you know what I mean, and be
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: a lot more focused within myself, take care of what
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: I can take care of, and the rest don't take
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: care of itself. So last week's this game was the
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: heating decks was about like one I heard it was hot.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: It was kind of warm, kind of warm out there.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: We had the fans on the field and everything. You
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: played your high school ball in Texas, right, was it
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: hot like that in Texas? This is it ain't No
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: one twenty hot. That's more Vegas. No, No, didn't get
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: hot in Oklahoma when you were No, it's not. It's
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: not that hot in Oklahoma. Oklahoma's probably you know, like
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: one fifteen, Like that's terrible. Yeah, that's like water on
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: the back of the neck, you know what I mean.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: You gotta cool yourself off in some way. Well, so
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: you played at night too in high school a lot, right,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: So that was one o'clock in the afternoon. Is unfair?
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: I was in the press. I was fine. Guys struggling?
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Is it when it's that hot? Does it become difficult
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: to concentrate at times? I mean because sometimes as players,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: we pretty much get we we get into ourselves, you
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, to the point where it's like, oh,
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not really worried about ball. I'm just so hot.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: I need to cool and I need some water, I
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: need these things. And so we have other things going
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: on in our head and then you gotta go out
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: there and still play that next place. And that's when
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: those mental errors come in, and you know, all those
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: other things come into effect, Like do I really want
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: to take this extra step to go get this block
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: knowing how hot it is? You know what I mean?
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: So you just gotta pretty much push that aside and
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: stay locked in. Yeah, I'm sure you played and stuff
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: like that. I mean, little further south, you played in
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: stuff a little more like this. Yeah, I know. Um,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: I think in high school and college we had some
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: days that kind of hot, and everybody says, you know
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: all the time, Oh, you're from Georgia, this should be normal.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: But going away and going to the Midwest for a
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: couple of years, I kind of forgot. You've come back
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: and your body has to adjust and things are things.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: They get difficult out there. It's it is real and
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: and it's it's a lot of pressure. But you know,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: you're no stranger to pressure. You know, you're a Blind
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: Cuff Award winner in college and you were all Big
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: twelve and an All American as a pretty young player.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: So you know what it's like to have the team
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: on your back. How do you feel about having the
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: team on your back here in Jacksonville with the young quarterback,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: you know, rookie Guy Gardner Minshew and everybody count on
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: you to make those plays. Uh, it's not really as
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: far as the pressure, you know what I mean, Like
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: I've been playing his games. That was seven years old,
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: and so at the end of the day, to me
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: is just going out there and playing football, you know,
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: and whatever you gotta do to get the job done.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: It's just like anybody in the ball come your way,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: you know, you get open, get separated and then you
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: make that catch. At the end of the day, you
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: steal football regardless out of pressure. I block out Illinois
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: and I know you was like throwing in there the
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: things that I've accomplished. You forgot. Heisman finalists went to
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: New York. I gotta do more research, you know, I
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: gotta I gotta cover all my bases. First week. It's okay,
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: I'm getting there warming up. A question for both of
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: you guys. You mentioned when when Gardner comes into the game,
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: Nick goes down after a fantastic throw and catch by
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: DJ for the touchdown, and then Nick has to leave.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: What happens as an offense? Then do you guys get
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: together around Gardener on the sideline? What and before the
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: next drive as a group, you know there's a massive
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: change coming. What was the what were those moments between
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: that next drive? Like, you know, I could speak of
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: the moments for myself when we found out that Nick
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: was out of the game and that Gardener was going
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: to be the guy. You know, I had a moment
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: on the sideline where I went up to him and
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: I was like, hey man, everything that we talked about
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: in preparation and practice in the preseason leading up to
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: this moment. Those are the things that you fall back on,
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: all of that practice us, all of those habits that
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: you made. When things get shaken and you're thrust into
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: a situation, you fall back on habits. And I told him, Hey,
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: you've practiced and you've prepared. Now just go out there
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: and play. Let those things happen. What did you see
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: out of this guy in the summertime here? And what
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: do you like about Gardner? He amends up, hemends up.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: He play the big boy football, and that's what I love.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Like my thing. You can go out there and do
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: whatever you want. But as long as you don't let
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: people intimidate you and you have that chip on your
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: show there in that mindset I can play with. And
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: there's a there's a confidence about this offense still, right,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just just going through there today and
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: talking to some of the guys and talking to you
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: guys here. You guys can still move the ball and
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: get things what you pretty much everything you wanted to
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: get done on offense. You can still do that, right, Yeah, No,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: I think that you know, there's a even more of
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: a sense of urgency with us now that that we
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: need to do more. We saw what we could do
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: with a game with a lot of mental errors, a
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: lot of assignment and technique errors, and we were able
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: to still move the ball and put up points. And
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: now we know that there's even more that this offense
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: is cape bove. If we have a night where we're
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: clicking on all cylinders and we're eliminating those mistakes, we
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: can put up a lot more points. And I think
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: that those guys, we really believe that you guys are
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: both stylish guys. D do you get your clothes? When
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: you first saw a gardener walk in with the mustache
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: and the leads are sitting the head, first impression, he's different,
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: He's different, you know, But at the end of the day,
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: he's a baller. You know, he's a he's a gamer.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: And that was huge for him, you know, Nick go
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: down the way that he did, like praying for Nick,
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: but for Gardner to step in and put his big
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: boy pants on and go out there and deliver dart
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: out the dart, you know, and then to end the
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: game with what he ended with, you know, it's crazy
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: and it's insane, you know, and for him, like that's
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: huge for us that's huge moving forward because now that
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: we know that he can do it, and so we're
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: gonna hold them to those standards each and every time
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: we take the field. Now, Marquis said he was okay
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: with the headband, but he said he couldn't deal with
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: the mustaches. When you play, when you go on the
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: field and you make plays in clutch situation, then you
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: can wear a tied eye headband. You can come in
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: here and you can wear cut off Daisy Duke shorts.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: You can come in here and wear a massive, obnoxious,
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: go crazy chain and people look at you and go, hey,
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: he's a baller. You know guys like that. You know
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: I can't do that. I can't do that. I gotta
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: be myself. You know, if if I wore a chain
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: like that, if I try to look like Dee d,
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: people would be like, Chris, what are you doing? Go home?
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: But you know, he's a baller and he can do that,
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: and and it's him and that's Garner, and they wear it.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: They make it work. You're new to the building here,
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: I mean not anymore. I mean you've been here for
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: a few months now, but you've been around here for
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: a few years. How is it to have the veteran
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: player like this come in to your locker room and then,
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: you know, how do you kind of make yourself work
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: into a new football team as a as a guy
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: who's been around here for a few years, How do
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: you welcome a guy like Chris into that room? Only
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: nice words, I mean, because he's a cool dude, you know.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: And for me and him, it's like he know more
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: of the offense than I do. It's a totally different
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: offense for me, and he's been in it before. And
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: so with that being said, it's like I'm more close
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: to him as far as like getting to know what
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: it is that he do, you know, since he's been
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: in it a lot longer than I have, and so
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: I'm a nerd around him, like I want to know
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: what he's thinking whenever this happened, or when you run
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: this route, like why do you take this many steps
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: supposed to this many? And it's just he's older, you
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, He's been around a game longer
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: than I have. And so as far as like welcome
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: him in, like we both on the same thing. We
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: want to be better and we want to win, you know.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: And so with that being said, we just figure out
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: what's best for the both of us and then for you.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's talent on this football team, especially in
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: the wide receiver room here. They might be a little younger,
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: they're not having as much experience in the league, but
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of talent in this room. And I
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: think that, you know, the first thing going into a
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: room like that with that's a lot has a lot
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: of talent is letting him know, you know, first off, like, yeah,
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm a little bit older, but you know, I
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: still got something in the tank too. But then when
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: you go in and you see the way that that
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: these guys are hungry to be better, you can use
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: that and I can say, hey, you really want to
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: be great, Okay, these are things that we can work
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: on and really let them know that, hey, I'm not
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: picking on you. I want the best for you too.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: I want you to go out there and get paid.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: I want you to go out here and make all
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: these plays, be all pro. And if we're gonna do that,
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: these are the things, these are the steps that come before.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: You know. I had guys that were like that for
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: me when I was a rookie, when I was the
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: second and third year player, and I just want these
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: guys not to make mistakes that I made so that
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: they can go out there and they can be better.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: So I'm go ahead, Is there a motivation for you
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: guys to show that you're a better group than people
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: give you credit for? Because yeah, there was talking to
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: I think I can kind of speak on that. You know. Uh,
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: last year as far as the receiving corps, we didn't
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: have the year that we wanted and we knew that,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: you know, and Chris we kind of like brought him
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: in on it, you know, and I made a comment
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: about it like after training camp going into like the
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: first week was pretty much like last year, we led
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: the league and drops, you know, and I don't want
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: that again, you know what I mean, not only for
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: myself but for my brothers as well. And so with
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: that being said, like we gotta do everything that we
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: possibly could to go out there and makes the quarterbacks
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: job easier, you know what I mean. And so just
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: like whatever being said, just pretty much the basics, you know,
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: watching the ball all the way into thee. All the
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: fundamentals man fundamentally sound and everything that d D just
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: pointed out, and that the guys have been really working
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: on and focusing towards. Hasn't been for people watching outside.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: It's been all stuff that d D wants to prove
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: to d D that DD is the best. DJ wants
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: to prove to that, to to DJ that he is
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: an explosive and great receiver. And so it's this group
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: is putting a challenge and emphasis on themselves to go
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: out there and to be consistent every day and not
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: listening to the outside noise, and that what that's what
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: really excites me seasons here now. So is there time
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: for surfing? I know you've got a vote the other week.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: I know you are you starting some of this? Okay?
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: There maybe there is times there's uh, there's there's time
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: every once in a while. You know, we get an
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: off day after games. But depending on how your body
