0:01
Speaker 1: Celebrating twenty five years of Jaguars football. Touchdown Jacksonville. What
0:07
Speaker 1: a play thirty yard touchdown? Ny the rusted Blackfoot Jaffuars.
0:14
Speaker 1: Did you Jack, war Jack Warris, did you go Jaguars
0:18
Speaker 1: drive time righting sex steps to John Oh, Jack, Actually,
0:24
Speaker 1: Ja Jaguarris drive Time starts right now. We try everything,
0:30
Speaker 1: but all those things came into play when you look
0:32
Speaker 1: at it, whether miss tackles, whether out of gas, whether
0:36
Speaker 1: we're not still in think um, you know pretty much
0:39
Speaker 1: when when the team rushes for that many yards and
0:41
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be one thing, I can tell you
0:43
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be multiple things. When we can never
0:45
Speaker 1: get it, you know, it seems like we can never
0:46
Speaker 1: even get miss stop. That was the story of the
0:53
Speaker 1: Jaguars got basically run over, along with other things that
0:56
Speaker 1: did not go right. The Jaguars ball to four and
0:59
Speaker 1: six on the season, a waste of a huge opportunity
1:02
Speaker 1: to get back on the winning track in John, as
1:05
Speaker 1: you said it best in your article that I read,
1:07
Speaker 1: it's all mathematics and miracles. Now, well it is, and
1:11
Speaker 1: I know we'll hit on this for the next forty
1:13
Speaker 1: five minutes. The concern is Uh, you know, everything looks
1:18
Speaker 1: bad when you lose like that. The main focal point
1:23
Speaker 1: is the run defense. The problem is, I don't know
1:26
Speaker 1: that the tools are there to fix it, and I'm
1:29
Speaker 1: not sure we felt that way a month ago. So
1:33
Speaker 1: so there's is absolutely a concern, especially with how you
1:37
Speaker 1: haven't even competed the past two weeks. Basically, it's three
1:40
Speaker 1: times in the last and we're gonna talk about run defense.
1:42
Speaker 1: I don't wanna go too deep into it, but it's
1:44
Speaker 1: three times in the last five games. Um. They had
1:46
Speaker 1: a good game against Joie Mixon and the Bengals, in
1:48
Speaker 1: a really good game against Levian Bell, who is, you know,
1:51
Speaker 1: an elite guy in this league. But in the other
1:54
Speaker 1: three games in the last five, they've given up more
1:56
Speaker 1: than two yards rushing. So that's when you weigh up
2:00
Speaker 1: this morning with a bit of a hangover from that.
2:02
Speaker 1: It's runs like this that just eight at the heart
2:06
Speaker 1: of that defense yesterday. Um, that eat at the fan
2:09
Speaker 1: base of this team right now, All right, let's get
2:11
Speaker 1: into big things. Big thing one is what was that?
2:15
Speaker 1: How did the Jaguars not take advantage of such a
2:18
Speaker 1: huge opportunity after the bye week, well rested, healthy, and
2:22
Speaker 1: not even show up to play. It seems like Nick
2:24
Speaker 1: Foles said, do not hit the panic button quite yet.
2:27
Speaker 1: They just didn't execute. I gotta play better. Absolutely, we lost. Um,
2:32
Speaker 1: you know, that's ultimately a lot on the quarterback. So
2:34
Speaker 1: I have to you know, watch the film and improve
2:37
Speaker 1: on things that can improve on to you know, obviously
2:39
Speaker 1: put more points on the board. That's on me. This
2:41
Speaker 1: is a tough game. We we got our butts to
2:43
Speaker 1: be pretty good. That's a good team. We're a good team.
2:47
Speaker 1: We're not where we want to be, but we will
2:48
Speaker 1: get where we want to be if we keep believing
2:50
Speaker 1: in each other. Big thing too, is why why was
2:54
Speaker 1: the run defense unable to figure it out? Again? Two
2:57
Speaker 1: sixty four yards given up? Like Brian just said, that's
3:00
Speaker 1: a third game this season where you've given up over
3:02
Speaker 1: two hundred yards. Why is it unable to get fixed?
3:05
Speaker 1: Klais simply says, if you give up that many yards,
3:08
Speaker 1: you're not gonna win. Do you understand that when we
3:10
Speaker 1: stopped to run, we're tough team to beat. But when
3:13
Speaker 1: teams run for like that like they run today, you
3:15
Speaker 1: know we're gonna loose. And it's just fans of bus
3:18
Speaker 1: about it. You know, we can't let the run game,
3:21
Speaker 1: you know, let them run the way like they did
3:22
Speaker 1: today and expect to one ball. Guys, I don't care
3:24
Speaker 1: who you are. And Nestlee, you give up whatever you
3:26
Speaker 1: yards to give up from me. I'm sure it was
3:27
Speaker 1: over to one of yards. You're gonna loose, you know,
3:29
Speaker 1: I mean very few times you want a ball again
3:31
Speaker 1: like that? You know, it takes a lot of luck.
3:33
Speaker 1: Big thing three who who can change the season? As
3:36
Speaker 1: we know as of now, it's not one person that
3:39
Speaker 1: can change the season. We thought Nick Foles would go
3:41
Speaker 1: in and hopefully lead this team to win, and that
3:43
Speaker 1: didn't happen. So it's going to be a team effort.
3:45
Speaker 1: But there is one person who thinks this season is
3:47
Speaker 1: not over yet and there's still room for change. I
3:51
Speaker 1: feel like me as well as because as a receivers
3:55
Speaker 1: and you made some plays. You know we can make
3:58
Speaker 1: more and we will make more, you know. So you know,
4:03
Speaker 1: it's just step one said six more, And I think
4:07
Speaker 1: we're gonna look back at this game and I won't
4:09
Speaker 1: remember it as much because of the next six. So guys,
4:13
Speaker 1: we'll talk in depth about the lack of run defense,
4:16
Speaker 1: but it's also a lot on the offense. I mean
4:18
Speaker 1: they failed to score on six or nine straight possessions.
4:22
Speaker 1: It is um. But yeah, when you lose by twenty
4:28
Speaker 1: like that, nobody's played well. But when you can't stop
4:32
Speaker 1: the run, it's it sucks the heart at everything, Brian.
4:36
Speaker 1: So it sets the tone. And if you remember after
4:39
Speaker 1: the Carolina game, I came in here and I listened
4:42
Speaker 1: to the players and there was a lot of talk
4:44
Speaker 1: about gap control, and I'm familiar with that, and I
4:47
Speaker 1: know from experience that you can fix gap control. Um.
4:50
Speaker 1: Yesterday didn't feel like that. And I think it's at
4:53
Speaker 1: the point now where for three years with this defense,
4:57
Speaker 1: this sort of game has been there at times because
5:02
Speaker 1: it's an undersized unit and when the opponent a Tennessee particularly,
5:06
Speaker 1: has done this to him, next week's opponent well, of course,
5:09
Speaker 1: the time, Tennessee has had an edge in the Jaguars
5:12
Speaker 1: because they've they've been able to get to this style.
5:14
Speaker 1: Teams have tried to get to the style. The problem
5:17
Speaker 1: is now all teams are getting this style. And I
5:20
Speaker 1: think what happened was this is a very very good
5:23
Speaker 1: past rushing defense. I think it still is. It showed
5:25
Speaker 1: yesterday when it was a position to rush of the past,
5:27
Speaker 1: or they just didn't have to they were placed. Um,
5:30
Speaker 1: but it is now at the position where perhaps a
5:33
Speaker 1: lot of people, including myself, overlooked the interior of the defense,
5:37
Speaker 1: the ability to stop the run. It is an undersized front,
5:40
Speaker 1: and right now they have to prove people wrong who
5:43
Speaker 1: say that they can't win with that undersized front, because
5:45
Speaker 1: right now they can't. Well, I don't want to put
5:46
Speaker 1: it all on Marcel Darius, but this looks like the
5:49
Speaker 1: Jags run defense in seventeen before they traded for Marcell Darius,
5:53
Speaker 1: and obviously Darius has been gone for most of this stretch.
5:56
Speaker 1: So you say under size, they're missing a key component
5:59
Speaker 1: to their run defense. One guy can't make it. So
6:02
Speaker 1: you go back to that Panthers game. They were gashed
6:05
Speaker 1: by McCaffrey with big runs and he wasn't wasn't as
6:10
Speaker 1: consistent as yes, no, no, that wasn't the game. That
6:12
Speaker 1: wasn't the case yesterday. It was to me, incredibly poor tackling.
6:18
Speaker 1: There were so many times where they would have either
6:20
Speaker 1: Mac or Jonathan Williams bottled up and boom, they'd screwed out.
6:24
Speaker 1: Because people were whether they were they were wrapping up
6:28
Speaker 1: or whether they were trying to tackle the ball or
6:29
Speaker 1: whether they got blocked. I mean, let's let's not miss
6:31
Speaker 1: what we saw yesterday that Colt's offensive line is really, really,
6:36
Speaker 1: really good, and they got out to the second level
6:39
Speaker 1: and they made it harder for the undersized linebackers to
6:42
Speaker 1: make plays. But it was I turned to you or
6:45
Speaker 1: turned to Patrick at one point. So what is going
6:47
Speaker 1: on when they would have them at three yards and
6:50
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it would become eight or fifteen.
6:53
Speaker 1: It was just consistent. For the first time in Colts history,
6:56
Speaker 1: they had to yard running backs in the same game.
7:00
Speaker 1: I that's this is this is very difficult to swallow
7:03
Speaker 1: because now in the last two weeks they've given up
7:05
Speaker 1: four eight rushing. Ye, they're bad right now. They're a
7:09
Speaker 1: bad defense until they prove otherwise because they can't stop run.
7:13
Speaker 1: They're not a bad in terms of talent everywhere. But
7:16
Speaker 1: if you can't do that in this league, it's a
7:17
Speaker 1: passing league. But if you can't stop the run, you
7:20
Speaker 1: never get to stop the pass. Well, and here's the
7:22
Speaker 1: here's the comes back to your comment about having the tools.
7:25
Speaker 1: If Marcel Darius is the only person really truly missing
7:29
Speaker 1: in this run defense, and he's not likely to return
7:32
Speaker 1: this year. He could still, but he's not likely to. Um,
7:37
Speaker 1: how are you gonna stop the run? You're gonna get
7:39
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry this week and that is nothing but downhill running.
7:43
Speaker 1: Jack Wars did a really good job out here on him.
7:46
Speaker 1: So the only way you're gonna stop at John, I
7:47
Speaker 1: mean legitimately slow the run down because I'm not sure
7:50
Speaker 1: that we're going to see them stop the run like
7:53
Speaker 1: we've grown accustomed to around here, is if the offense
7:56
Speaker 1: scores enough points that the other team has to play
7:58
Speaker 1: from behind. So this puts even more on the offense.
8:03
Speaker 1: And who the last one who can make this offense better?
8:07
Speaker 1: How about Leonard for nette defense? Well, I'm I'm I
8:12
Speaker 1: don't know that you're going to get much better against
8:14
Speaker 1: the run. Of course, you you can avoid giving up
8:17
Speaker 1: two yards rushing. You can improve just by tackling better.
8:21
Speaker 1: But I think this is still a defense is going
8:22
Speaker 1: to be susceptible to usually tackled. All yesterday, they were
8:28
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of seconds without it tackles.
8:31
Speaker 1: We're gonna come after five yards. So I'm switching gears
8:33
Speaker 1: and saying that The best defense now against the run
8:37
Speaker 1: is the offense put points on the board and that
8:40
Speaker 1: forces the other team to maybe abandon the running game
8:43
Speaker 1: and throw the ball, which plays into your strength. And
8:45
Speaker 1: I get it. We can talk about all those different things.
8:49
Speaker 1: The absence of Leonard for Nett the last two games,
8:53
Speaker 1: and these are division games, big games, because we pointed
8:57
Speaker 1: to this three game stretch in which they're now owing
8:59
Speaker 1: to the since it's very troubling. I made the statement
9:03
Speaker 1: yesterday in my quick thoughts that he is your best
9:05
Speaker 1: offensive player. You could argue for d J. Chark, but
9:08
Speaker 1: in terms of a guy who can control the temple
9:10
Speaker 1: of the game, we're talking about somebody who came in
9:12
Speaker 1: averaging more than four point eight yards per carry on
9:14
Speaker 1: the season, who was third in the a f C
9:17
Speaker 1: and rushing yards, third in the NFL in total yards
9:20
Speaker 1: from scrimmage. This was a guy who moved the chains,
9:23
Speaker 1: controlled the tempo, allowed you to play a particular style
9:26
Speaker 1: of football. He ran the ball eight times. Now they
9:30
Speaker 1: threw it to him seven and I'm not saying that
9:32
Speaker 1: they should have given it to him like he was
9:34
Speaker 1: really running well, but his first run was for ten yards.
9:38
Speaker 1: Don't abandon the running game for goodness sakes, and yet
9:41
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, what does he have total fifty
9:44
Speaker 1: sixty yards and some of that. And I know you
9:48
Speaker 1: know this better than anybody. Some of the numbers come
9:53
Speaker 1: about because you're down by agreed, it's a touch skewed.
9:59
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't necessarily say that their plan going in
10:02
Speaker 1: was to run him nine times, um, but or eight. No,
10:06
Speaker 1: it definitely wasn't. It can't be. But it felt yesterday
10:10
Speaker 1: like there was a plan to try to have more
10:15
Speaker 1: balance early and then continue that balance and then and
10:19
Speaker 1: then you went into halftime feeling like, okay, that's still
10:24
Speaker 1: there because you're only down three, and all of a
10:26
Speaker 1: sudden you snap your fingers and you're down seventeen and
10:29
Speaker 1: there just wasn't a chance to you. But all of
10:35
Speaker 1: that said, you've got to get him involved more. The
10:40
Speaker 1: curious thing to me, it didn't feel like they trusted
10:43
Speaker 1: it enough to go to it early. And I'm not
10:46
Speaker 1: sure why it's the case, because he's been running well,
10:48
Speaker 1: and he ran well early yesterday. You could make the
10:50
Speaker 1: case that had they gotten the Colts off the field
10:53
Speaker 1: on third down and nineteen on that opening drive of
10:56
Speaker 1: the third quarter, well you probably don't abandon the run.
10:58
Speaker 1: It felt like a game, right, But at that moment
11:00
Speaker 1: I turned to pack Havana on I said that you
11:02
Speaker 1: gotta win this one. If you can't win third and nineteen,
11:05
Speaker 1: you're not going to win this game. And sure enough,
11:07
Speaker 1: the little bubble screen, Yeah, it was. That was the
11:11
Speaker 1: moment where it seemed like it all unraveled. And and
11:14
Speaker 1: I can understand you have all those drives, what were
11:16
Speaker 1: they four or five in a row at the end
11:18
Speaker 1: of the first half where they couldn't convert on third down?
11:21
Speaker 1: They were one of five at the break on third down?
11:26
Speaker 1: Team is right? I mean when you can't convert that
11:31
Speaker 1: there are things that conspire. I got that question about effort, yeah,
11:34
Speaker 1: and there are things that conspire to make teams look
11:37
Speaker 1: like they're putting out effort. When you can't stop the run,
11:39
Speaker 1: it looks like you're getting run on. Right. I don't
11:41
Speaker 1: want to you can't do third and you can do
11:42
Speaker 1: that either. But here's and this is this is this
11:47
Speaker 1: is big picture, right. This is two games, back to
11:52
Speaker 1: back big division games, one in London against Houston who
11:57
Speaker 1: was missing their best offensive linemen and their best defensive
12:00
Speaker 1: lineman and half their starting secondary right and one of
12:04
Speaker 1: their top receivers. And you come home right for whatever reason.
12:11
Speaker 1: Then the next week you go in and we got Miles.
12:13
Speaker 1: Jack told you in the locker room last week, we
12:15
Speaker 1: must win this game, he said, stood right next to
12:18
Speaker 1: Calais Campbell said, we must win this game. And then
12:22
Speaker 1: that happens right again. Whatever the reasons are, you can't
12:26
Speaker 1: stop the run, can't convert on third down to stay
12:28
Speaker 1: on the field. Now you look at this third game,
12:32
Speaker 1: and I worry about the psyche of this football team.
12:35
Speaker 1: That the heart of their season was this three game stretch.
12:39
Speaker 1: And if they go out with a whimper next week
12:41
Speaker 1: in Nashville like they have the last two weeks in
12:44
Speaker 1: London and in Indianapolis, who that is not That is
12:49
Speaker 1: not good for a football team. That that is an
12:51
Speaker 1: understatement of epic proportions. I'm not to her sure how
12:53
Speaker 1: else to say it, but you have a massive problem
12:56
Speaker 1: if if you don't go compete against the Titans on Sunday,
12:59
Speaker 1: if you don't go play well in sports, when you're
13:03
Speaker 1: not good up the middle defensively, no matter what the sport,
13:06
Speaker 1: you're in trouble. And right now, especially on the defensive front.
13:10
Speaker 1: They're not, so it makes everything else feel weak. It's
13:14
Speaker 1: the foundation of your house. When the foundation is not there,
13:16
Speaker 1: you get trouble. Yeah, and I think it's almost we
13:19
Speaker 1: take blame for this too, as we always compare this
13:21
Speaker 1: defense to two thousand seventeen and last week in the
13:23
Speaker 1: locker room, we were talking about the great offensive line
13:25
Speaker 1: with the Colts, and we were always reminded, yeah, but
13:28
Speaker 1: we're pretty good too. But after this two weeks of performance,
13:31
Speaker 1: you gotta stop saying that because you're not. At this point.
13:34
Speaker 1: You've never been great against the run, but it's really
13:37
Speaker 1: showing itself now. And maybe it's all Darius. I think
13:40
Speaker 1: a lot of it, Brian is you know in this league,
13:45
Speaker 1: teams go off what other teams have done well, and now,
13:49
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, nine ten games into the season,
13:53
Speaker 1: now you've got a pattern where it's easy to game
13:56
Speaker 1: plan for the Jaguars, I think, I mean the Titans
13:59
Speaker 1: coaches might you might leave after lunch this week. I mean,
14:03
Speaker 1: not that it's gonna be an easy game, but how
14:05
Speaker 1: much you a game plan for Okay, we're gonna run,
14:07
Speaker 1: let's get some sandwiches, well, and you're gonna be you're
14:11
Speaker 1: gonna have a running back who is as big as
14:14
Speaker 1: a couple of your defensive line, not as heavy, but
14:16
Speaker 1: big and bigger than all of your linebackers, safeties and corners. Oh,
14:21
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about a challenge. I just I
14:23
Speaker 1: want to I just want to put the final word
14:24
Speaker 1: here before you take a break, and that back to
14:26
Speaker 1: the big overarching picture. Not that I would have liked
14:29
Speaker 1: this team to have lost twenty to twenty four, or
14:32
Speaker 1: felt better if they lost thirty three to thirty one,
14:35
Speaker 1: but at least if they lose those two games close
14:38
Speaker 1: to the two best teams in this division, the two
14:41
Speaker 1: teams that went into Kansas City and beat Kansas City. Right,
14:44
Speaker 1: you could walk out and say we're just we're a
14:46
Speaker 1: play away right where we're we're something away. You can
14:50
Speaker 1: fix that. We have work to do. But when you
14:53
Speaker 1: get beat like that, you there's a hot There was
14:56
Speaker 1: a hollow feeling on that plane coming home last night,
14:59
Speaker 1: and I'm sure there's a hollow feeling, which is why
15:01
Speaker 1: Nick Foles made the comment that was all over the
15:03
Speaker 1: internet this morning, all over Twitter about Sky's not falling
15:08
Speaker 1: because somebody's got to pull this back together. Um, if
15:11
Speaker 1: anybody can do it. It's your veteran quarterback who has
15:14
Speaker 1: played well in months like this. Gotta see it, got
15:18
Speaker 1: to see it, and got to see it soon, that's
15:20
Speaker 1: for sure. All right when we come back, some highlights
15:22
Speaker 1: from the lost the Colts yesterday right here on jag Strike.

17:10
Speaker 1: to your commitment. You're making the world a better place
17:13

Speaker 1: of the week, and Tide is America's number one detergent
17:23
Speaker 1: for all of them. If it's laundry night, it's got
17:26
Speaker 1: to be tied. We're back Monday Jags Drive Time, brought
17:39
Speaker 1: to you by Jeto Owns recapping that loss to the
17:42
Speaker 1: Colts that drops the Jags to four and six on
17:45
Speaker 1: the season. But it all started off nights, and that's
17:49
Speaker 1: when we'll start with these highlights. Full's chart touchdown, start
17:53
Speaker 1: off the game on a high note. Second driving the games.
17:55
Speaker 1: Things are looking promising as of now. Second bounded five
18:00
Speaker 1: bowls over the middle man caught by Chart, Chark and
18:04
Speaker 1: shign the Tony Shark Welco touchdown Jacksonville, a thirty four
18:10
Speaker 1: yard score. Are looking good at this point. You have
18:15
Speaker 1: a lead, you're feeling good. Offense is fired up, the
18:18
Speaker 1: Jaguars benches fired up, and the defense gives it right back.
18:22
Speaker 1: That's because Marlon Mack ran all over the defense this
18:25
Speaker 1: entire drive coming up and it ends in a touchdown,
18:34
Speaker 1: spinning away, bouncing off tacklers, Marlon Mack water run touchdown.
18:45
Speaker 1: So yeah, that wasn't good to say the least, But
18:48
Speaker 1: I do give the defense credit. They seem to have
18:50
Speaker 1: figured it out going forward with Marlon Mack and they
18:54
Speaker 1: get the Colts off the field with no points. The
18:56
Speaker 1: drive before this play that's coming up, and you hope
18:59
Speaker 1: that the Jaguars have a chance to take the lead
19:01
Speaker 1: right before halftime, and then this happens. Bulls taking a
19:10
Speaker 1: deep shot looking for shots shot a flex, So, guys,
19:26
Speaker 1: a big opportunity. You go into halftime with hopefully a lead.
19:30
Speaker 1: But as we all agree, looking at that play, it
19:33
Speaker 1: just looks like a ball that Bull should not have thrown. Yeah,
19:36
Speaker 1: and he uh, I knew we had sound. Um, he
19:40
Speaker 1: said afterward. The read took him there and he didn't
19:45
Speaker 1: really get the throw. Obviously you can't make throw. Um.
19:48
Speaker 1: It looked to me if you know it's the first
19:51
Speaker 1: touchdown or you know, touched down to the show in
19:53
Speaker 1: the highlights, it was a play across the middle man coverage. Um.
19:59
Speaker 1: Some thing that a look that they haven't gotten very
20:02
Speaker 1: much from defense is lately, because defenses have been playing
20:04
Speaker 1: to take the wide receivers away, uh Nick said. After that,
20:09
Speaker 1: they went right back to the zone, went right back
20:11
Speaker 1: to taking away the sides of the field and playing
20:13
Speaker 1: safety over the top. Um I had said for the
20:16
Speaker 1: last two weeks, I didn't know what sort of difference
20:18
Speaker 1: folds were going to make if you didn't get production
20:20
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. Again, they have no
20:22
Speaker 1: tight ends to get I mean, was there a tight
20:25
Speaker 1: end stat yesterday to uh? And it show did oliver
20:29
Speaker 1: one for fun? They are deficient there. It appeared that
20:35
Speaker 1: the Colt defense played the same formula as other teams
20:39
Speaker 1: have played. I don't know how they beat that. Um.
20:42
Speaker 1: The interception was bad, but really you're supposed to be
20:45
Speaker 1: able to overcome one interception like that. I thought the
20:48
Speaker 1: third downs that Doug talked about again came back on
20:51
Speaker 1: this scene. They never got a drive going after that
20:54
Speaker 1: first drive. You know, I didn't he wired. He got
20:59
Speaker 1: full was not what I think a lot of us
21:02
Speaker 1: thought he he would have been based on what we
21:05
Speaker 1: saw in the practice field. Although John d. Philippo did
21:07
Speaker 1: try to tell us last week. He remember he's he's human,
21:10
Speaker 1: he's been gone for two months. There's gonna be a
21:11
Speaker 1: little this rust. And you saw some of it. Uh.
21:14
Speaker 1: You saw some passes. There was a throw to Keelan
21:17
Speaker 1: Cole on a screen. He managed to pull it down
21:19
Speaker 1: and get for the first down, but it was high.
21:22
Speaker 1: There were some passes that were a little bit off,
21:24
Speaker 1: and then there were a couple of reads. That was
21:25
Speaker 1: one of them where you thought, why are you throwing there?
21:27
Speaker 1: There was another he was throwing for Josh Oliver into
21:29
Speaker 1: double coverage as well. It's like, why are you throwing there? Yeah?
21:32
Speaker 1: There was one on a big third down to chart
21:35
Speaker 1: and it was coming towards me in the press box
21:38
Speaker 1: where you could tell from up high that that the
21:40
Speaker 1: safety was coming over, and it was right into the
21:43
Speaker 1: defensive teams you're playing against him. The stat the status
21:46
Speaker 1: from him that I found alarming was forty seven passing attempts. Yeah,
21:51
Speaker 1: you don't, you don't want anything. Yeah, you know what,
21:53
Speaker 1: Tom Brady throwing the ball forty seven times a game. Well,
21:56
Speaker 1: that's not really what he was brought here to do.
21:57
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be fifty pass the game. No quarterbacks
22:01
Speaker 1: quarterback should be. But you couldn't run the ball, which
22:02
Speaker 1: meant that you had to throw it. You have no
22:04
Speaker 1: presence in the middle of the field. Yesterday was just
22:07
Speaker 1: a complete unraveling of the offense. I don't know that
22:09
Speaker 1: you couldn't run the ball. I'm sorry I shouldn't said that.
22:13
Speaker 1: Better you stopped running the books, right right, gotch Yeah, Yeah,
22:15
Speaker 1: it's it's uh. You wouldn't run the ball for whatever reason.
22:19
Speaker 1: You've banned in the running game completely. I'm tired. I'm tired. Well, bufalo,
22:24
Speaker 1: big boy, because there's still a third of the season left.
22:26
Speaker 1: Help me. Well, here she comes to try to save
22:29
Speaker 1: the day. Oh boy, all right. So it's ten to
22:32
Speaker 1: seven at halftime, pretty close games. So it's the first
22:34
Speaker 1: drive coming back from half time. It is third and
22:37
Speaker 1: nineteen in the third quarter, and Jonathan Williams looks like
22:40
Speaker 1: a star running back all of a sudden for some reason,
22:45
Speaker 1: quick past to Williams, Williams, we drug the run, Big
22:49
Speaker 1: Barns day line, Jackson Bill territory, because you said, guys,
22:55
Speaker 1: we talked about it earlier in the show that was
22:57
Speaker 1: all out. Just take the breath out of this play.
23:00
Speaker 1: Third and nine team, you can't get off the field.
23:02
Speaker 1: That leads to a Colts touchdown that leads them to
23:04
Speaker 1: seventeen to seven over the Jaguars. And here is just
23:08
Speaker 1: more of the same fourth quarter Jads, Jags holding on
23:11
Speaker 1: for dear life at this point, and this is the
23:13
Speaker 1: dagger to the chest. Get the plane ready to go home.
23:17
Speaker 1: Didn't weeks ago in Pittsburgh. It was exciting to get
23:23
Speaker 1: back out there. Duty. That leads to another Cults touchdown
23:35
Speaker 1: thirty one to seven Colts and there's the Dame Polks. Yeah.
23:39
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about the run defense today, but
23:41
Speaker 1: it's little things like that, opportunities to make a tackle
23:45
Speaker 1: where you get the guy right near the line of
23:47
Speaker 1: scrimmage and it didn't matter who the running back was.
23:50
Speaker 1: Hindes there had two touchdowns yesterday and was very difficult
23:53
Speaker 1: for them to stop in traffic. It's it's never good
23:55
Speaker 1: when people you haven't heard of are happy when they're
23:57
Speaker 1: playing your team. And and there are a lot of
24:00
Speaker 1: happy backups on the Colts yesterday. Um, you said the
24:04
Speaker 1: one that made you want to start the plane. I
24:06
Speaker 1: thought the scramble play by Brissette was absolutely huge because
24:11
Speaker 1: I thought, Hey, my first reaction was about a horrible
24:13
Speaker 1: play call. You're on the one inch line, and I
24:16
Speaker 1: thought they had gifted the Jaguars a chance to stop him.
24:18
Speaker 1: Then you get pressure and they turn it into a touchdown. Um,
24:23
Speaker 1: and then you know, uh, it did not look like
24:27
Speaker 1: very good uh a tackling angle or even effort on
24:34
Speaker 1: the screen pass. Um, So it looks like they were confused, basically. Yeah,
24:38
Speaker 1: and uh, Ronnie Harrison came up and sort of just
24:42
Speaker 1: waved at him. Um, those are big place. Those are
24:45
Speaker 1: season turning place, and when you don't make them, your
24:49
Speaker 1: season turns. Ronnie Harrison is a guy for whom there's
24:52
Speaker 1: some concern, at least to me, because he was supposed
24:54
Speaker 1: to rise. He's this big athletic guy. You know. I
24:59
Speaker 1: just gottaything, what the long arms, the big frame, and
25:02
Speaker 1: it always seems he's chasing a play down from behind.
25:04
Speaker 1: He's not progressed like I think they hoped he would
25:07
Speaker 1: this year. Again, that's more in the middle of the field.
25:09
Speaker 1: You've got yeah, tackle agreed, middle linebacker Miles who Again,
25:14
Speaker 1: I'm not sure you know a lot of cris sadingtoward Miles.
25:18
Speaker 1: I haven't watched enough to know how he played yesterday.
25:21
Speaker 1: My instinct is when it goes bad up the middle
25:24
Speaker 1: of the field like that, it's very hard for the
25:25
Speaker 1: linebacker to make up for it. But I can't imagine
25:28
Speaker 1: he thinks he played well either. So I'm tired, Brian,
25:31
Speaker 1: I don't think, uh yeah, many played well. To wrap
25:34
Speaker 1: this all up, there's very few that you can take
25:36
Speaker 1: away as a positive from yesterday. Not to be a
25:39
Speaker 1: downer at all, but I'm just saying we don't have
25:42
Speaker 1: to be a when we come back some Bernie Wood

28:39
Speaker 1: I'm going to work on that this week. Bernie Woodfire
28:43
Speaker 1: grill hot takes coming at Chip who first grill light done?
28:48
Speaker 1: Grill light done from how maybe John hit it? Oh
28:53
Speaker 1: that's right, I got to get wrong. I was not thanking.
28:55
Speaker 1: I was thinking you were going to John's grilled done.
28:57
Speaker 1: There we go, Hello, Hello John hit it? Uh oh yeah.
29:03
Speaker 1: We overlooked a little bit, a little bit of this
29:06
Speaker 1: and that's the fine. Well, I mean and I and
29:08
Speaker 1: we talked about it so much. I kind of had
29:09
Speaker 1: a feeling I came with this hot take that it
29:11
Speaker 1: would already be discussed. Um, I think you know again,
29:16
Speaker 1: I go back to I don't think this is a
29:20
Speaker 1: defense that is breaft of talent um. I think the
29:23
Speaker 1: secondary in terms of pass coverage is playing okay. I'm
29:30
Speaker 1: not sure. I'm not sure that Royan Harrison is playing
29:32
Speaker 1: that well. I understanding is Jared Wilson's playing okay? Uh.
29:37
Speaker 1: The linebackers, you know, bad game yesterday. But I think
29:42
Speaker 1: we perhaps overlooked because it had been able to get
29:44
Speaker 1: by with an okay run defense for so long. I
29:49
Speaker 1: don't know that I realized how much they were teetering
29:51
Speaker 1: on the edge if you will, and and they're walking
29:54
Speaker 1: that line, and to me, that is defining the whole season.
29:59
Speaker 1: Every Thing else feels like it's shattered because that is weak.
30:04
Speaker 1: Right now. When that's weak, nothing else matters because you
30:08
Speaker 1: have this feeling. I wrote a somewhere for Jaguars dot
30:11
Speaker 1: Com today, Tony DUNGEI always used to say that defenses
30:16
Speaker 1: you can't stop the run always feel like they're not
30:18
Speaker 1: giving effort, because when you can't stop the run, you're
30:21
Speaker 1: sliding backwards, you're looking around. It's confusing, and it looks
30:24
Speaker 1: like you're not caring or trying, and then you're you're
30:27
Speaker 1: mad each other on the sidelines because you're frustrated. That's
30:30
Speaker 1: what this team is, right now it's a team that
30:32
Speaker 1: can't stop the run. So there's a feeling of, well,
30:34
Speaker 1: no matter what else we do, it's going to slide
30:37
Speaker 1: on defense. That's tough to overcome. It's got to start there.
30:41
Speaker 1: I go back to the end of last season. I
30:44
Speaker 1: can't recall the it was Todd wash or no. I
30:48
Speaker 1: think it was Doug Moron who said that he felt
30:50
Speaker 1: that Calais Campbell played all Pro at the line of
30:53
Speaker 1: scrimmage last year against the run, that he was a
30:56
Speaker 1: dominant player and should have been All Pro. And I
30:58
Speaker 1: think if you look at Pro Football Focus you'd see
31:00
Speaker 1: the same thing on That's not been the case this year.
31:04
Speaker 1: He has not played to that level. UM. Taven Brian
31:08
Speaker 1: has had moments, but not consistent. Marcel Darius is out,
31:12
Speaker 1: Abrey Jones was never designed to play thirty five or
31:16
Speaker 1: forty snaps a game. He was supposed to rotate in
31:18
Speaker 1: with those guys and be very effective. Um. And then
31:21
Speaker 1: you've got an undersized defensive end on the other side,
31:24
Speaker 1: when Unique is in there, who is more of a
31:26
Speaker 1: big linebacker than you know than a lot of people
31:29
Speaker 1: wanted to point out. So you're talking about being undersized,
31:33
Speaker 1: they're undersized. They're undermanned upfront by design, their undersund right, No,
31:37
Speaker 1: they go for the speed. That's right, for the speed,
31:39
Speaker 1: but they're really place. Didn't play very well yesterday. Tavin
31:44
Speaker 1: didn't play very well yesterday. Abray didn't play very well yesterday.
31:49
Speaker 1: Keep going down the list, right, I mean, it's just yeah,
31:51
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's it's defining the season, which gonna bring
31:54
Speaker 1: me to my hot tape transition. Yeah, here we go.
31:57
Speaker 1: This is this is um groundbreaking stuff because we're going
32:01
Speaker 1: to the draft already. Uh well, but but but only
32:05
Speaker 1: look only in this context because the Jaguars do have
32:08
Speaker 1: two first round picks, and I heard a lot of
32:09
Speaker 1: talk in recent weeks, but they gotta go get a
32:11
Speaker 1: corner to replace Jalen Ramsey, and they've got to go
32:13
Speaker 1: get a tight end. And I agree you need both
32:16
Speaker 1: of those things. However, watching the Colts yesterday, they have
32:21
Speaker 1: a first round pick, their own at left tackle, their
32:24
Speaker 1: own first round pick at left guard, their own first
32:26
Speaker 1: round pick at center, and a high second pick, I
32:29
Speaker 1: think the thirty eight pick of the second round the
32:31
Speaker 1: year he came out last year, Brandon Smith their right tackle.
32:34
Speaker 1: Their offensive line is terrific. Was terrific yesterday, not just
32:38
Speaker 1: at the point of attack, but getting to the second
32:40
Speaker 1: level and seedling off the linebackers and safeties. Um. Yeah,
32:45
Speaker 1: there's a lot of sexy positions available next year wide
32:47
Speaker 1: receivers and quarterbacks and all of that stuff. Uh, they
32:51
Speaker 1: need a big offensive line and a big defensive lineman.
32:53
Speaker 1: I mean, this team needs to do what that Colts
32:57
Speaker 1: team did, and that is focus on the middle of
33:01
Speaker 1: both lines. Yeah, and you're to the point in there
33:04
Speaker 1: where you've got you know, when you say that, it
33:08
Speaker 1: makes me a little queasy because they you know, at
33:12
Speaker 1: some point they have to stop neglecting tight end and
33:16
Speaker 1: it's been neglected forever. And they didn't mean to neglect
33:19
Speaker 1: it this year. They wanted to get Hopkinson and Allen
33:21
Speaker 1: was there. That was not a mistake. You had to
33:23
Speaker 1: do it. Um. But I agree with you, tight end
33:28
Speaker 1: if your offensive right, I mean, I'm I'm saying that
33:31
Speaker 1: not as an argument. I'm saying, boy, there is a
33:34
Speaker 1: lot and your instinct is always to say, well you
33:37
Speaker 1: can get tight end later in the Well, they've tried
33:40
Speaker 1: that and it never works. So um, it's easily. Can
33:43
Speaker 1: they have four or five first round picks? Is that
33:45
Speaker 1: is that a thing is that over over time, over
33:48
Speaker 1: the next two years. But I don't want time. I'm tired.
33:51
Speaker 1: I know every look, everyone is. But time is the
33:53
Speaker 1: only thing that you truly have here, and you don't
33:56
Speaker 1: know how much of it you have, but especially May
33:57
Speaker 1: I'm fifty. Clinton Nelson, you know, was the sixth pick
34:00
Speaker 1: of the draft. I mean to me, you see the
34:04
Speaker 1: way that that that crowd at that stage reacts, It
34:07
Speaker 1: loves him. He transformed their offensive line. Uh, you've got
34:12
Speaker 1: to spend some capital in that in that position, in
34:15
Speaker 1: that area because Andrew Norwell is nowhere near that guy.
34:21
Speaker 1: And and look, he went undrafted out of Ohio State
34:24
Speaker 1: and made himself into an old pro. He's not been
34:26
Speaker 1: an old pro here. He's been below average. To my
34:29
Speaker 1: way of thinking that there, people could argue there, you've
34:32
Speaker 1: gotta get stronger at that position. You gotta get stronger
34:34
Speaker 1: at the right guard position, where you've got two guys platooning.
34:37
Speaker 1: That's less than ideal. Also, and as soon as you're
34:39
Speaker 1: saying this, Brian, I got the same I was own
34:41
Speaker 1: question yesterday and my response was, don't forget about detail
34:44
Speaker 1: Well and that's it, because you know, I mean I
34:46
Speaker 1: don't be a weak there again. You you know you
34:49
Speaker 1: you must you must go and address that. That's a
34:51
Speaker 1: need now. And Marcel Darius, because of his salary cap number,
34:54
Speaker 1: is likely to be playing elsewhere next year anyway. So
34:57
Speaker 1: it was it was an easy hot to make based
35:01
Speaker 1: on the way that the Colts played. Um, but we're
35:03
Speaker 1: gonna start talking, unfortunately about the draft around here sooner
35:07
Speaker 1: than we had hoped. And you have two first round picks,
35:10
Speaker 1: and my I said, a plea, but it might become one.
35:14
Speaker 1: Both of those big guys. Got to use both those
35:17
Speaker 1: pics wherever they are on big guys, and let's fix
35:20
Speaker 1: this thing. Yeah, follow the Colts game plan because it
35:22
Speaker 1: seems to be working for the look, they totally transformed
35:24
Speaker 1: themselves into a running football team, and their defense got
35:28
Speaker 1: better because they're not on the field as much as
35:30
Speaker 1: they were the year before based on what they did
35:32
Speaker 1: with their offensive line. You can fix it if you
35:34
Speaker 1: can fix your offensive line, yep, And my Bernie would
35:38
Speaker 1: fire grill hot take is Leonard for Nett. We'll have
35:41
Speaker 1: a big day on Sunday. And I say this because
35:44
Speaker 1: you can't possibly neglect the run like you have the
35:47
Speaker 1: past two weeks. You have to learn from it. I mean,
35:49
Speaker 1: dun Roun admitted slightly in his press conference stat they
35:52
Speaker 1: shouldn't have gotten away from the run as much as
35:53
Speaker 1: they did. First time in franchise history the Jags have
35:56
Speaker 1: had fewer than ten attempts rushing in a game nine
36:00
Speaker 1: times twenty nine yards is the staple of this offense,
36:04
Speaker 1: Leonard for Net, the best offensive player. Run the ball.
36:07
Speaker 1: You're excited to have fulls back. You want to air
36:08
Speaker 1: out the offense. You can't abandon completely what you can
36:11
Speaker 1: hang your hat on this entire year, which is to
36:13
Speaker 1: run the ball. Run the dang ball Sunday. Oh yes,
36:21
Speaker 1: nine times that I keep thinking of mine. Tis so
36:28
Speaker 1: their first round pick, Jeffrey Simmons, the kid who started
36:30
Speaker 1: the season one. He's store, he's playing, and he's playing
36:34
Speaker 1: very well. Um, they are much better against the run
36:38
Speaker 1: than they were early this season. You're gonna have to
36:41
Speaker 1: throw the ball too. You're going to throw the ball
36:43
Speaker 1: to open up the run this week. But you can't
36:46
Speaker 1: abandon the run complete or you have got you gotta
36:50
Speaker 1: find a way to put the ball in his hands,
36:52
Speaker 1: even if you're throwing it to him. He's that good
36:55
Speaker 1: of a player. He's not a he's not elite, he's
36:58
Speaker 1: not Ezekiel Elliott, but he is a Really when you
37:02
Speaker 1: look at guys out there running around, you see his athleticism.
37:05
Speaker 1: You've got to find a way to get him involved.
37:07
Speaker 1: But you gotta and I know we're a broken record, um,
37:12
Speaker 1: to be fair to Di Filippo on this, you've got
37:16
Speaker 1: to stay in the game to keep him in the game.
37:19
Speaker 1: So there's a little bit of you can hammer the
37:23
Speaker 1: nine times, and I'm joking about that, but when that
37:27
Speaker 1: game got away from you so fast in the second half,
37:30
Speaker 1: if they had kept running for a net at that point,
37:32
Speaker 1: everybody who thought he was an idiot. So you've got
37:36
Speaker 1: to play. You've alluded to a couple of times in
37:38
Speaker 1: the show, you've got to play run defense well enough
37:41
Speaker 1: to keep everything else in the game what you want
37:44
Speaker 1: to do. And that really that's stat cause the nine
37:50
Speaker 1: rushes stat as much as anything. I don't mean this
37:53
Speaker 1: is much of a criticism of the coaching staff or
37:55
Speaker 1: the game plan, as more of a symptomatic book at
37:58
Speaker 1: the franchise, at the offense in general, at the at
38:01
Speaker 1: the team in general, you've got to be able to
38:03
Speaker 1: run the ball, well, how do you do that? Well,
38:04
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to throw the ball and stop. Stop.
38:07
Speaker 1: How do you do that? You score, you get the lead,
38:09
Speaker 1: and you forced teams to throw it. It's all gotta
38:11
Speaker 1: work hand in hand. Yeah, But it was to the
38:13
Speaker 1: point where I was questioning, is he hurt? I had
38:15
Speaker 1: a security guard asked and Leonard for Nett make the trip?
38:19
Speaker 1: That's bad. Fy, we got funny people working. Where were
38:23
Speaker 1: they when? That was not a very good question to
38:25
Speaker 1: be asked? Did he make the trip? He's like, well,
38:28
Speaker 1: I can't blame you slap. Yeah, they frown upon that
38:32
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, basically everywhere in the country. Yeah. I just
38:35
Speaker 1: let people out and the step there. That's why it's
38:38
Speaker 1: probably all right, all right, oh zone, you ready for this.
38:42
Speaker 1: It's got to be a pleasant place this morning. It's
38:52
Speaker 1: very copied by hot to Darren fort Worth, Texas Q.
38:58
Speaker 1: Five minutes ago it was ten to seven at half.
39:01
Speaker 1: Why did we get away from the run so early? Yeah,
39:03
Speaker 1: And it's tough coming up with questions after a loss
39:06
Speaker 1: like this because I know we're gonna go over topics
39:10
Speaker 1: and all of the questions are basically about the same
39:13
Speaker 1: tops we're talking about. So why they get away from
39:16
Speaker 1: the runs early. I think they felt they had to. Um, Yes,
39:20
Speaker 1: it was ten seven at the half, but if you
39:21
Speaker 1: went back and look at that game, they the Cold
39:24
Speaker 1: scored touchdowns on their first three offensive possessions, and the Jaguars,
39:28
Speaker 1: I haven't looked at this stat but it didn't feel
39:30
Speaker 1: like they were on the field very much. One key
39:32
Speaker 1: stat I thought in the first half, this kind is
39:35
Speaker 1: kind of going away from this answer. Um, after Folds
39:38
Speaker 1: is touchdown, I think they had seventeen or nineteen yards
39:42
Speaker 1: on their next three drives. It was three and out.
39:45
Speaker 1: All it was touchdown with bam, bam bam, fast three
39:47
Speaker 1: and out. Um, that doesn't help the run defense because
39:51
Speaker 1: you're on the field so it all works together. But
39:54
Speaker 1: that was why they went away. They didn't I'm sure
39:56
Speaker 1: Flip didn't want to go away from the run like that.
39:59
Speaker 1: But once it's seven seven, then all of a sudden,
40:01
Speaker 1: you have one series. If that doesn't work seven, then
40:05
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, as Nick said after the game,
40:07
Speaker 1: you're you're taking your original game plan out and you're
40:13
Speaker 1: putting your two minute package in. So now, all of
40:16
Speaker 1: a sudden, you're not even thinking about what we thought
40:17
Speaker 1: about doing in game plan, you're thinking about what's our
40:20
Speaker 1: two minute package, so that changes your approach. Um. Again,
40:25
Speaker 1: they didn't plan how to go away from from the
40:27
Speaker 1: circumstances dictated. The shorter answer is they couldn't get the
40:30
Speaker 1: Colts off the field on third and nineteen on the
40:33
Speaker 1: opening drive, so that ten seven close game was gone
40:38
Speaker 1: immediately and they couldn't stay with the right. Yeah, I
40:43
Speaker 1: think we've addressed what's next. Uh, kind of the same, Miguel.
40:49
Speaker 1: What happened to the run defense, run fits missing? Darius?
40:53
Speaker 1: I hope it's something fixable. That was terrible. Well, and
40:57
Speaker 1: I guess I included this because I don't know that
41:01
Speaker 1: it's fixable. And I was the one after Carolina who
41:05
Speaker 1: was saying, don't worry about it. Because everything you were
41:08
Speaker 1: hearing after the Carolina game was it's it's gap control,
41:12
Speaker 1: it's run fit, it's staying in near lane, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
41:16
Speaker 1: It didn't feel like that was that yesterday, which is
41:18
Speaker 1: a bigger concern Um. And this again feels like teams
41:23
Speaker 1: over the last three or four weeks overall game planning
41:27
Speaker 1: are saying, hey, this is what we can do to
41:30
Speaker 1: this team. We're gonna do it until they stop it again.
41:33
Speaker 1: That's as Tennessee's m o. Alrighty, sure, So Tennessee is
41:36
Speaker 1: gonna sit down on Wednesday and say, Okay, we're gonna
41:40
Speaker 1: now Jars can stop that. But I don't think it's
41:42
Speaker 1: gonna be I don't think it's gonna be a very
41:44
Speaker 1: taxing game planning week for them. You said, don't worry
41:47
Speaker 1: about it. After that game in Carolina and the next
41:49
Speaker 1: two weeks they held Joe Mixon, who led the a
41:52
Speaker 1: f C in rushing yards last year, and Levy and Bell,
41:54
Speaker 1: who was fourteen million dollar you're running back right, they
41:58
Speaker 1: held him a track, so you thought, all right, something's
42:00
Speaker 1: going good here. And then well they're smaller upfront. They
42:05
Speaker 1: are tackling very well, which maybe the end of this,
42:08
Speaker 1: you know, it's I don't know what the end of
42:10
Speaker 1: the season. I don't know what any were wearing out.
42:12
Speaker 1: I don't know what. Thatt you can probably tackle better
42:15
Speaker 1: if that would be a start. Yeah, but do you
42:18
Speaker 1: want to go back to the basics in week twelve
42:20
Speaker 1: of an NFL season? Do you want to get beat
42:22
Speaker 1: like that again? Now? No, I don't sew you better.
42:25
Speaker 1: Security guards in the sideline, like, really, come on, No,
42:30
Speaker 1: I didn't think to slap him. That would be bad,
42:32
Speaker 1: I don't know or funny, all right. I told Dr
42:37
Speaker 1: Kaplan on the team bus heading to the plane after
42:39
Speaker 1: the loss, I said, Cap Morena, this is going to happen,
42:42
Speaker 1: and it's going to happen a lot. Jeremy from Jacksonville, Mr, oh, listen,
42:48
Speaker 1: did you hear it? It's only a whisper right now,
42:51
Speaker 1: but it'll grow louder with every loss. Minshoe, Minshoe. Yeah.
42:57
Speaker 1: And I don't think that there's going to be much
42:59
Speaker 1: of a movement inside over here and in coaching to
43:04
Speaker 1: go back to Minshi, because you know, in the first
43:09
Speaker 1: a quarter and a half yesterday, I think we saw
43:11
Speaker 1: what folls brings. I was sitting next to seeing people
43:14
Speaker 1: on press road and I kept saying, there it is
43:18
Speaker 1: the ball getting out quickly. Um. There was velocity on
43:22
Speaker 1: the passes early that a gardener couldn't put on there. Um.
43:28
Speaker 1: So you could see why they went to him and
43:32
Speaker 1: he signed for four years, you know. So I don't
43:35
Speaker 1: think there is a thought of this is not a
43:39
Speaker 1: guy that they're in a rush together. The billion is
43:41
Speaker 1: not a veteran who's run his course here and you're
43:44
Speaker 1: trying to play the rookie. I don't think it will happen,
43:47
Speaker 1: but if they lose the next two, I understand it's
43:49
Speaker 1: going to be a storyline. Everyone loved Gary Quaso too.
43:52
Speaker 1: Do you know who Gary Quaso was? Johnny Unitus is backup.
43:55
Speaker 1: Everyone loves the backup quarterback. Everyone loves this kid. I
43:59
Speaker 1: get it. But as I said to a Jaguars fan
44:01
Speaker 1: who was sitting in the front row, hold on, the
44:04
Speaker 1: quarterback is on the field. Now. The quarterback is on
44:07
Speaker 1: the field now, ye just so you know, you can
44:11
Speaker 1: scream from Minshew all you want, But I'm not sure
44:13
Speaker 1: Minshew makes that any better yesterday unless men can tackle,
44:17
Speaker 1: which right don't can tackle when I and fairness the
44:22
Speaker 1: I don't think Foals played very well after they got behind.
44:25
Speaker 1: But I don't know that he is going to be
44:28
Speaker 1: or ever has been a great rally. The team come
44:32
Speaker 1: from behind quarterback and the game still has to be
44:35
Speaker 1: somewhat in control for him to be effective. Um So
44:40
Speaker 1: I don't really know that anything would have been solved yesterday.
44:43
Speaker 1: I go in a different direction. That's my point. Nothing
44:45
Speaker 1: would have been so again unless Gardner could play free
44:49
Speaker 1: safety and make a stomp. Tired. I know I'm tired.
44:52
Speaker 1: It's okay, John, We'll get through it all right when
44:54
Speaker 1: we come back. Some NFL headlines from this past weekend

47:01
Speaker 1: to be tired. We're back Monday Jack's Drive Time brought
47:13
Speaker 1: to you by Jet Homewards. Our last segment Monday Mornings
47:16
Speaker 1: is a look around the league NFL headlines brought to
47:19
Speaker 1: you by me. Uh, we'll make him quick this morning.
47:23
Speaker 1: The first one is DeAndre Hopkins yesterday saying that someone
47:26
Speaker 1: new has to be making the decision on pass interference
47:29
Speaker 1: in New York. I don't know whether you saw it,
47:32
Speaker 1: but yeah, he was basically tackled in the end zone
47:34
Speaker 1: early in the first quarter. Would have tied the ball
47:36
Speaker 1: game at seven. And the Texans are saying, you have
47:39
Speaker 1: a different ball game there, right, um, And they're absolutely
47:43
Speaker 1: right about that. And it brings us back to Doug
47:45
Speaker 1: Moron's decision in the second half, second quarter to challenge
47:48
Speaker 1: what looked like an obvious p I right. Uh, we
47:52
Speaker 1: all thought it was. But when he threw the flag,
47:54
Speaker 1: I went, you're not gonna get this dog. You're gonna
47:56
Speaker 1: miss the time out. And of course they would have
47:58
Speaker 1: had a chance at a field goal. Could they have
47:59
Speaker 1: thrown the all in the middle of the field plawed
48:02
Speaker 1: I'm getting I'm getting there. I'm getting there. But if
48:05
Speaker 1: you had that time out, you might have had more
48:07
Speaker 1: operative not to beat a dead horse. But here are
48:11
Speaker 1: the numbers. Ready this season, through the one o'clock games yesterday,
48:16
Speaker 1: six pass interference calls have been overturned out of sixty's.
48:23
Speaker 1: That's ten percent. Now that's higher than but since week
48:26
Speaker 1: two it's only five, only two out of seven, only five.
48:31
Speaker 1: So they tried it in the first week of the
48:34
Speaker 1: season and then the officials said, we don't like this,
48:37
Speaker 1: it's way too subjective, so they're not calling it. So
48:41
Speaker 1: yesterday after the Ravens Texans game, Bill O'Brien said, I
48:45
Speaker 1: don't know what past interferences anymore. Right, The reality of
48:48
Speaker 1: it is, don't throw the flag for that, Doug or
48:50
Speaker 1: any head coach, don't throw the flag for that. You're
48:53
Speaker 1: not going to get it. Although I say that yesterday
48:56
Speaker 1: the Jets actually got one. Yeah, yeah, and we're to
49:00
Speaker 1: take if it's that egregious. As a coach, your instinct
49:06
Speaker 1: is I've got to do this because it's always a
49:09
Speaker 1: big momentum play when it happened. And so again I'm
49:14
Speaker 1: a broken record on this. I said in January February
49:17
Speaker 1: and March wants to be in the move. It was
49:19
Speaker 1: a it was a stupid rule to put in the
49:21
Speaker 1: first place. Because you can't legislate it, and you're always
49:25
Speaker 1: going to have there's just too much of a gray area.
49:28
Speaker 1: It's too subjective. Um. I thought that what this season
49:32
Speaker 1: was going to be was a multitude of calls being
49:39
Speaker 1: reversed and fan bases on both sides being mad about
49:43
Speaker 1: the reversals. I didn't expect them just to ignore the rule. Well,
49:46
Speaker 1: and and part of the way it's chaos. Look, part
49:48
Speaker 1: of me is glad they are ignoring it because what
49:51
Speaker 1: I worried about was there would be the subjective calls
49:54
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you'd get a coach
49:56
Speaker 1: do a Sean Payton and lead a charge to be
49:59
Speaker 1: able to review a holding call. Right. I mean, now
50:03
Speaker 1: we're really getting into the weeds, down the rabbit hole,
50:06
Speaker 1: however you want to term it. Um, it was not
50:09
Speaker 1: a good decision I believe to go that way. They're
50:12
Speaker 1: not using it. Don't throw the red flag as the
50:14
Speaker 1: message here. Uh DeAndre Hopkins coming out saying someone new
50:17
Speaker 1: in New York up next good news in Cincinnati. I
50:20
Speaker 1: put this one on there for two reasons. Obviously, it's
50:22
Speaker 1: a good story. The other is the Bengals are gonna
50:24
Speaker 1: winless and they're playing in Oakland, and this was a
50:27
Speaker 1: game that didn't get a lot of attention. But if
50:28
Speaker 1: you if you saw it yesterday, that's Autumn Tate who
50:31
Speaker 1: went down in a very scary looking neck injury. Lay
50:35
Speaker 1: on the field for nearly ten minutes. They took him
50:37
Speaker 1: off on the stretcher and as he walked, or rather
50:40
Speaker 1: it was was carried off by the cart, he raised
50:43
Speaker 1: his hand tweeted last night, I'm good he went home
50:45
Speaker 1: with the team. You know a lot of those cases,
50:47
Speaker 1: guys stay overnight wherever they are. Um good because that
50:51
Speaker 1: was a scary moment. If you if you saw yesterday,
50:53
Speaker 1: that's good news. And finally we wrap it up with
50:55
Speaker 1: remember this one. The The Niners lost on Monday Night
51:00
Speaker 1: football in a gut wrenching home loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
51:04
Speaker 1: And yesterday they were down sixteen points to the Arizona
51:08
Speaker 1: Cardinals at home and you're thinking, okay, you know, Jimmy
51:11
Speaker 1: Garoppolo had thrown two interceptions, maybe they're having a little
51:15
Speaker 1: bit of the meltdown after a hot, fast start to
51:18
Speaker 1: the season. And then he rallies and throws four touchdowns
51:21
Speaker 1: and UH passer rating off the charge hundred and fifteen. Uh.
51:25
Speaker 1: Just a sensational performance for Jimmy Garoppolo. They still have
51:28
Speaker 1: to go and play Green Bay in Green Bay and
51:31
Speaker 1: New Orleans in New Orleans, and this is the first
51:34
Speaker 1: game of that stretch for them. They have one more. Yeah,
51:39
Speaker 1: they play three eight win teams to the next Yeah.
51:42
Speaker 1: If they get through that, that's that's the kind of
51:45
Speaker 1: big game, big performance at the end, that can lift
51:48
Speaker 1: a team. And really, because there's still a young team
51:50
Speaker 1: that you bet is not sure that they can play
51:53
Speaker 1: with those tailor hasn't proven against the gnat like that,
51:56
Speaker 1: and early on they were getting their tail kicked, and
52:00
Speaker 1: he brought them back after a slow start through the
52:02
Speaker 1: four touchdown passes. Uh. If the Niners do something, we
52:05
Speaker 1: might point at that game and say that was that
52:07
Speaker 1: was it. Because their coach talked afterwards about what an
52:10
Speaker 1: emotional week it was to lose it home to division
52:13
Speaker 1: rival and how he had to pick his team up
52:15
Speaker 1: and get them ready to play a Cardinals team that
52:17
Speaker 1: everyone picked. They beat, uh, and then fall behind and
52:20
Speaker 1: then you know, um, that's a strong character kind of
52:23
Speaker 1: game for them. Wild week huts for sure. Those are
52:26
Speaker 1: your NFL headlines, all right, and that is our show.
