Speaker 1: Jack Wars Did you Jack, Jack Warris, did you go?
0:05
Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive Time? Ryan Sex text John says, Actually, Jaguars
0:13
Speaker 1: Drive Time starts right now. Good morning and welcome Jaguars
0:19
Speaker 1: Drive Time on a Friday morning, brought to you by
0:22
Speaker 1: the Jet Home Loans. We're getting ready for a home
0:24
Speaker 1: game this Sunday, Guess the Detroit Lines. Starting our show
0:27
Speaker 1: this morning with Coffee with the Coach. Here with head
0:30
Speaker 1: coach Douv Marone, coach, Good morning. We've been talking all
0:34
Speaker 1: week about finding this balanced offense. You've seen the league
0:37
Speaker 1: right now it's definitely leaning too more past attempts. But
0:40
Speaker 1: you have a running back like James Robinson, So how
0:43
Speaker 1: do you get him involved just the right amount on Sunday? Well,
0:48
Speaker 1: I think it all depends on a lot of how
0:50
Speaker 1: you start. You know. Obviously, if you go in there
0:53
Speaker 1: and um, you know, everything is going according the plan,
0:57
Speaker 1: um you know, then you're gonna come out to a
0:59
Speaker 1: part where you're bound us and you're being able to
1:00
Speaker 1: make play at the end of the at the end
1:02
Speaker 1: of the game. And I think that's what it's about about,
1:05
Speaker 1: you know, being consistent on the players that you've worked on,
1:07
Speaker 1: being able to take advantage of it and executing at
1:11
Speaker 1: a very high level. And I think then when that happens,
1:13
Speaker 1: you're in good shape. And the other thing is keeping
1:16
Speaker 1: things manageable. A lot of times, if you get to
1:19
Speaker 1: a point where the down a distance doesn't become manageable,
1:22
Speaker 1: the score doesn't become manageable, or you're not being able
1:25
Speaker 1: to stop something or not being able to execute something,
1:28
Speaker 1: you know, then it's gonna force you into, you know,
1:30
Speaker 1: trying to do things uh differently, And I think that's
1:34
Speaker 1: where sometimes the numbers get skewed a balance. So the
1:38
Speaker 1: whole key is really just the execution. Morning coach. If
1:43
Speaker 1: I remember right in when we went up there and
1:47
Speaker 1: you guys worked against the Patriots, you talked about having
1:51
Speaker 1: no Matt Patricia Am I right on that. How well
1:53
Speaker 1: do you know him? Um? On a serious note, does
1:56
Speaker 1: does he coached like a Belichick kind of coach? Do
1:59
Speaker 1: you see the influences? And on a lighter note, how
2:03
Speaker 1: do you coach against the guy with a degree from
2:05
Speaker 1: m I T yeah. I mean you don't get into
2:10
Speaker 1: a debate, you know. I mean, that's the first thing.
2:13
Speaker 1: And I think that you know, obviously I've known Matt
2:16
Speaker 1: for a while, have a ton of respect for him.
2:18
Speaker 1: I think you know, you, like all of us, I
2:20
Speaker 1: think we're all um, products of systems that we've been
2:25
Speaker 1: in or people that we've looked up to. So you
2:28
Speaker 1: do see part of that, But then you also see Matts,
2:31
Speaker 1: Matt's stamp on on what they're doing. So you know, again,
2:35
Speaker 1: a ton of respect for him. They've done a good job.
2:37
Speaker 1: You know, they'll come in here ready to play and
2:39
Speaker 1: and and our guys will be ready to play, so
2:41
Speaker 1: it'll be it'll be a very competitive game. So you've
2:48
Speaker 1: talked a lot over the years about the respect that
2:51
Speaker 1: you have for players who can play a long time
2:54
Speaker 1: in this league. A running back playing as long as
2:57
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson is sort of a different, uh, at a
3:00
Speaker 1: different level of that. Talked about him a little bit. Yeah,
3:05
Speaker 1: you know, I was fortunate, um, early in my career
3:08
Speaker 1: to be around one of the best backs that have
3:12
Speaker 1: played in Curtis Martin. And you know, at a point
3:16
Speaker 1: where uh, Curtis uh, I guess it's it's in nineteen
3:21
Speaker 1: and two thousand and four, excuse me, at six and
3:24
Speaker 1: ninety seven yards, Um, he was the oldest back to
3:28
Speaker 1: win the rushing title that year. I look at Adrian
3:31
Speaker 1: Peterson and I see a guy that you know, consistently,
3:34
Speaker 1: you know, a year and a year out, has really
3:36
Speaker 1: done a great job. He has really, um, you know,
3:40
Speaker 1: even this year. I mean he looks he looks better
3:42
Speaker 1: this year than maybe last year. And I'm not trying
3:45
Speaker 1: to knock him, but uh, you know, he looks he
3:48
Speaker 1: looks like a young Adrian Peterson, someone that, uh, you know,
3:51
Speaker 1: can take it to the house. He's probably one of
3:53
Speaker 1: the best jump cut runners, meaning you can jump cut
3:56
Speaker 1: and get the ball to the outside, get the ball
3:58
Speaker 1: at perimeter. And um, he's a he's a big back
4:01
Speaker 1: and he's difficult to tackle. So you know, you have
4:04
Speaker 1: a ton of respect for these guys. I don't think
4:06
Speaker 1: until you're really down there and you watch it. Uh,
4:09
Speaker 1: the amount of contact that running backs having this league,
4:12
Speaker 1: multiple contacts on on plays where a carry on the football.
4:16
Speaker 1: I've always been made that how well they've they've been
4:19
Speaker 1: able to take care of the body to place for
4:21
Speaker 1: such a long time coach. From an outsider's perspective, when
4:26
Speaker 1: you look at stats for Gardner Minshew, it looks like
4:29
Speaker 1: he's doing a lot of things right week to week.
4:31
Speaker 1: For you watching him every day at practice in games,
4:35
Speaker 1: what does he need to do to take the next
4:36
Speaker 1: step in the right direction. Well, I think he's getting
4:39
Speaker 1: better and better in practice. I mean that's the one
4:41
Speaker 1: thing that I saw this week. I think that, you know,
4:43
Speaker 1: in order to get things the way you want on
4:45
Speaker 1: Sunday or get him into a game, you know, you
4:47
Speaker 1: want to be able to see that occurrent in practice
4:50
Speaker 1: and then having that carry over. You know, very rarely
4:53
Speaker 1: do you not see do you not get things done
4:55
Speaker 1: in practice and get it done in a game. And
4:58
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is to make sure that you can
5:00
Speaker 1: consistently work to get better during a weekend practice and
5:03
Speaker 1: then obviously bring that to the game. You know, I think,
5:06
Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, one of the things that
5:09
Speaker 1: you know we're working on is just hey, a better start,
5:11
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying in the first quarter. And
5:13
Speaker 1: you know, because once he gets into the rhythm of
5:15
Speaker 1: the game, he's done quite well. Um, you know, so
5:18
Speaker 1: we've just got to make sure we get him off
5:19
Speaker 1: to a good start when he has obviously, like week one,
5:22
Speaker 1: he's he's done, he's done a great job. And then
5:24
Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, after that, just say calm down,
5:28
Speaker 1: let's go, um, you know, make the plays. Obviously you
5:30
Speaker 1: can do it because you're doing it in the other quarters.
5:32
Speaker 1: So we've got to keep him coming along, and when
5:34
Speaker 1: the opportunity presents itself, we've got to be able to
5:36
Speaker 1: make plays. Coach, what's your scouting reports say about Matt Stafford?
5:42
Speaker 1: When people around the league talk about the best quarterbacks
5:44
Speaker 1: in the league, they talk about Mahomes rightfully so and
5:48
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady for obvious reasons. But Stafford seems to
5:52
Speaker 1: slide off to the side. And I don't know whether
5:53
Speaker 1: that's because the Lions haven't had as much success as
5:56
Speaker 1: those other teams or he's just not allowed guy. But
5:59
Speaker 1: what do you see? You watched the former number one
6:01
Speaker 1: overall pick. Well, I think you're right. I think, you know,
6:04
Speaker 1: because of the winning you know what I'm saying. I
6:07
Speaker 1: don't think he gets probably a much credit, um as
6:11
Speaker 1: far as him just being a quarterback at that position,
6:14
Speaker 1: and you know, we talked about the quarterback being part
6:16
Speaker 1: of that, so I think he gets knocked down a
6:18
Speaker 1: little bit. But for me, I've always been a big fan.
6:22
Speaker 1: I've always you know, Um, I've talked to him a
6:25
Speaker 1: couple of times on some different things. Um, you know,
6:28
Speaker 1: I've only competed against him once when I was in Buffalo.
6:32
Speaker 1: But you know, you talk about a guy that can
6:34
Speaker 1: make all the throws. He can move, he can run, um,
6:37
Speaker 1: he can do a lot of things. So his arm
6:40
Speaker 1: talent is outstanding. When you look at his career, Uh,
6:44
Speaker 1: you know, in twelve seasons, he's still young. I mean
6:46
Speaker 1: he's really basically a young quarterback. He's throwing over forty yards.
6:50
Speaker 1: So you know, at the end of the day, I
6:51
Speaker 1: think more people appreciate everything that he's done at the end, Um,
6:56
Speaker 1: you know, probably a whole lot more than maybe the
6:58
Speaker 1: respect that he's getting now. But as far as I'm concerned,
7:01
Speaker 1: I've got a ton of respect from him. I put
7:02
Speaker 1: him up there as one of the best quarterbacks in
7:04
Speaker 1: the league ocase this is a tough league, is you
7:13
Speaker 1: know for rookie receivers. But it looks like Leavisca in
7:16
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks his production has been there.
7:19
Speaker 1: Are you seeing it on film that he's starting to
7:22
Speaker 1: learn the NFL game a little bit? Yeah? I think.
7:26
Speaker 1: You know, obviously he shows that he can make plays
7:29
Speaker 1: with the ball in his hand. Um, he can do
7:31
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of things we've talked about
7:34
Speaker 1: that prior to him coming on the field. UM, I
7:36
Speaker 1: think one of the things, you know, it's just the season,
7:39
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, when you're getting these touches
7:41
Speaker 1: and you're getting these carriers, especially in all the different
7:43
Speaker 1: positions that we have them in. Um, you know, it's
7:45
Speaker 1: a little bit wear and tear. So you know during
7:48
Speaker 1: the week, you guys have seen it. You know he's
7:49
Speaker 1: been limited at times. And then you know he does
7:52
Speaker 1: do a very good job of going out there on
7:54
Speaker 1: Sunday and really compete. I think once we get you know,
7:58
Speaker 1: everything right and we can get uh, you know, him rested,
8:01
Speaker 1: him practicing full, you know the whole week, I think
8:04
Speaker 1: you'll see those numbers go up, and you know that's
8:07
Speaker 1: that's exciting for us. All Right, Coffee with the coach head,
8:12
Speaker 1: coach done round, Thanks so much for your time and

11:17
Speaker 1: ready for a home game this Sunday at the Bank
11:20
Speaker 1: against the Lions. Supposed to be a beautiful day in
11:23
Speaker 1: Jacksonville as we get into a game preview presented by
11:26
Speaker 1: Simply I o A. Three big things to pay attention
11:29
Speaker 1: to on Sunday. The first one is now or never.
11:33
Speaker 1: If you do not run the ball this week, you're
11:35
Speaker 1: never going to get to the point where you want
11:37
Speaker 1: to be this season. The Jaguars defense had trouble stopping
11:41
Speaker 1: the run the past few weeks, so you need to
11:42
Speaker 1: get the run going on offense with this guy James
11:46
Speaker 1: Robinson to make things a little better going forward. Big
11:49
Speaker 1: thing too is don't sleep on Matthew Stafford. We just
11:53
Speaker 1: heard head coach Doug Brown talk about this guy and
11:56
Speaker 1: say he's one of the better quarterbacks in the league,
11:58
Speaker 1: not along the guys of Patrick Mahomes or Russell Wilson,
12:02
Speaker 1: but a borderline elite passer. He's completed his passes for
12:07
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty yards and the two wins he's
12:10
Speaker 1: had against the Jaguars. Interesting note, no touchdown passes however
12:14
Speaker 1: against the Jags in his career. And finally, big thing
12:17
Speaker 1: three is find a way, find a way to win
12:22
Speaker 1: this game. This is not going to be a Jaguars
12:24
Speaker 1: team that imposes its will on all of its opponents.
12:27
Speaker 1: But whether it's a turnover or a red zone possession
12:31
Speaker 1: or even a late field goal, you have to take
12:33
Speaker 1: advantage of the opportunities that come your way. And Brian
12:37
Speaker 1: big time. We're talking about those two interceptions, those two
12:40
Speaker 1: turnovers we saw last week against the Texans and no points.
12:44
Speaker 1: You can't have that again this right, No, that's it.
12:47
Speaker 1: I mean that, that's the obvious point. When you're giving away,
12:51
Speaker 1: take the way is really what it is forget finding it.
12:54
Speaker 1: Sometimes you're giving it. Last week they were and they
12:57
Speaker 1: didn't take that path. Um. I'm gonna go back to
12:59
Speaker 1: up to the top, um because when I wrote this
13:02
Speaker 1: yesterday I wanted to make this point. I obviously didn't
13:04
Speaker 1: to you well enough in the email that I sent you,
13:07
Speaker 1: And that is this is the week to run the
13:10
Speaker 1: ball for two reasons. One, the Lions haven't had much
13:13
Speaker 1: success stopping the run. They're vulnerable to it, So go
13:17
Speaker 1: with the run this week. But the other reason that
13:19
Speaker 1: you really want to attack it this week is because
13:21
Speaker 1: everyone is beating you over the head with it, right.
13:25
Speaker 1: I mean, Doug took it on Monday and Jay took
13:28
Speaker 1: it on Wednesday. And if we had been able to
13:31
Speaker 1: go in the locker room this week, the players would
13:32
Speaker 1: have heard it to the point that they said, just
13:34
Speaker 1: please run the ball and get everyone off our bath.
13:37
Speaker 1: This is the week the spotlight will never be brighter
13:40
Speaker 1: on the running game than right here after last week.
13:43
Speaker 1: And it just so happens that you're not playing the
13:46
Speaker 1: Steelers of the Ravens, who are really really good at
13:49
Speaker 1: stopping the run. This is a team you should be
13:51
Speaker 1: able to run against the offensive line. And John I
13:53
Speaker 1: know you wrote it in quick thoughts, this week has
13:55
Speaker 1: played well this year. No one wants to give them
13:57
Speaker 1: any credit. It's been too easy of a target, too
14:01
Speaker 1: much low hanging fruit. Not this year, they're playing well.
14:05
Speaker 1: Give it to Robinson. Go yeah, Johnny, you just heard
14:14
Speaker 1: Brian talk about that Lions run defense. And it's a
14:17
Speaker 1: really interesting note the past three weeks that Jaguars have
14:20
Speaker 1: faced a defense that has ranked last in the NFL
14:23
Speaker 1: against the runs. Every week, we say, oh, well, this
14:25
Speaker 1: is gonna be the week that they really get the
14:27
Speaker 1: run going. It hasn't happened the past two weeks against
14:30
Speaker 1: the worst ranks run defense in the league, so hey,
14:33
Speaker 1: you gotta think maybe this week it'll happen. Yeah, And
14:37
Speaker 1: the stat can be a little deceiving in this sense.
14:41
Speaker 1: If you get into a game in the NFL, I
14:43
Speaker 1: don't care how bad the run defense is. If you
14:46
Speaker 1: get into the game and you see that the opposing
14:49
Speaker 1: defense is scheming to take the run away and they
14:53
Speaker 1: are presenting passing opportunities that you have to take, then
14:59
Speaker 1: they're is a school of thought that, look, you've got
15:02
Speaker 1: to be able to throw the ball against certain defenses
15:04
Speaker 1: to be able to beat him. So I'll give them
15:06
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt in that sense. I'm sure
15:08
Speaker 1: there were cases in the last few weeks where there
15:10
Speaker 1: were schemes that they felt like they had to throw against.
15:14
Speaker 1: All of that said, they they know they need to
15:17
Speaker 1: stick to the run better, as a play caller, Gruden
15:19
Speaker 1: has said it, So that is a It's certainly a key,
15:23
Speaker 1: and I think they will do it better this week.
15:26
Speaker 1: One thing in the big things thing two and three
15:29
Speaker 1: play into each other just when and take advantage of opportunities.
15:35
Speaker 1: And Matt Stafford or sort of the same thing. He's very,
15:38
Speaker 1: very good, but he will also if you pressure him,
15:42
Speaker 1: he will throw you the ball and give you opportunities.
15:45
Speaker 1: Not every play, of course, but the key to me
15:48
Speaker 1: this game is when they have their chances and interceptions,
15:51
Speaker 1: they must make them. If you see the Jaguars defensive
15:54
Speaker 1: backs clapping their hands after dropping a pick, that's bad
15:59
Speaker 1: because if you've got two or three of those opportunities
16:02
Speaker 1: this week, they need to take advantage of those and
16:04
Speaker 1: get him. You can't see defensive guy frustration on the
16:07
Speaker 1: sidelines after an oh so close pick. It's got to
16:10
Speaker 1: be made. Absolutely. That was the biggest difference between week
16:15
Speaker 1: one and week four. Week one, when they were facing
16:17
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, they took advantage of those turnovers. Last week
16:20
Speaker 1: against the Texans, they did not. You saw the difference
16:23
Speaker 1: with a win and a lost. All right, that is
16:25
Speaker 1: our game preview. When we come back, he will, he won't,
16:29
Speaker 1: he might. You're on job Wars drive time. Why do
16:41
Speaker 1: you choose Farah and Farah? First, we have the financial
16:45
Speaker 1: resources to take on any insurance company, and our track
16:49
Speaker 1: record proves that we know how to win. Our attorneys
16:53
Speaker 1: and staff or a team, and we've worked together for decades.
16:57

18:19
Speaker 1: Drive Time Friday morning, brought to you by the Jets
18:22
Speaker 1: home loans getting ready for a home game here in
18:24
Speaker 1: Jacksonville on Sunday against the Lions, which means there must
18:29
Speaker 1: be lines on that field getting ready for a home game.
18:31
Speaker 1: You gotta love it as we bring up, maxt you
18:34
Speaker 1: read my mind. There they are. It's time for he will,
18:38
Speaker 1: he won't? He might going into Sunday's game. And Brian,
18:42
Speaker 1: you have a guy who just talked about with coach. Yeah,
18:45
Speaker 1: I'll go with Lebiscit l Jr. He'll be a featured
18:47
Speaker 1: performer in this ball game. Um, we talked about James
18:50
Speaker 1: Robinson and the Lions are gonna have to put a
18:53
Speaker 1: lot of resources there. As John mentioned, he'll open up
18:56
Speaker 1: opportunities for other guys. D J. Shark is on the
18:59
Speaker 1: injury report in slowed with the ankle apparently. Uh So,
19:02
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, let's say that chart plays. Jefferkudo
19:06
Speaker 1: is their top young cover guy. I think there's gonna
19:09
Speaker 1: be places for Lavisca to make his place, and I
19:12
Speaker 1: think this would be a good week for him. He's
19:14
Speaker 1: been getting better and better and better, and it just
19:16
Speaker 1: feels like that explosive hundred yard game is waiting for someone.
19:21
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll be a running back in this game.
19:23
Speaker 1: I think he can do it all right, but I
19:26
Speaker 1: don't think he'll be a running back. I think he's
19:28
Speaker 1: the kind of guy they're going to throw the ball.
19:31
Speaker 1: They're gonna put the ball in his hands when he's
19:33
Speaker 1: moving in the middle of the field like he did
19:34
Speaker 1: in Colorado. It just feels that way this week that
19:37
Speaker 1: they're gonna lean on the things that he does best,
19:39
Speaker 1: though he might throw a touchdown pass. And I say
19:42
Speaker 1: this because I don't think Jake Gruden is a shrinking Violet. Now.
19:46
Speaker 1: I don't think they do that. I think they go
19:47
Speaker 1: back to that kind of a play in the red zone.
19:50
Speaker 1: But Gruden is an innovative offensive mind, and he said
19:54
Speaker 1: they put gimmicky type plays right in every single week.
19:59
Speaker 1: They find things they like and they want to run it. Um.
20:02
Speaker 1: This kid's got a big arm. He can do just
20:04
Speaker 1: about anything on the football field, and he this might
20:07
Speaker 1: be a week that you see Gruden say stick it
20:09
Speaker 1: go and put the ball down the field. Let's do it.
20:13
Speaker 1: I'm liking it. And you're referring to that fourth and
20:16
Speaker 1: one play with James Robinson getting a little crafty, and
20:18
Speaker 1: we all know that, yes, the play calling, but it
20:21
Speaker 1: also wasn't executed correctly. So I think Jay Gruden isn't
20:24
Speaker 1: gonna just gonna go back away from those plays. Now
20:26
Speaker 1: going forward? All right, John Osier, you also picked Labisco
20:30
Speaker 1: Shenelzi is the popular guy this week, but I reassigned
20:32
Speaker 1: you James Robinson. Go ahead, all right? Uh, where are
20:36
Speaker 1: you text here? Guys? Nine nineteen, which is during Brian's segment? Wow, John,
20:41
Speaker 1: forgot to tell you Brian took off thanks by bad
20:45
Speaker 1: so here I am here. I am okay. Uh. James Robinson,
20:50
Speaker 1: he will evidently he will be my he will, he won't.
20:54
Speaker 1: He might, Uh, he won't. I don't think he's going
21:00
Speaker 1: to be important in this game compared to Leabiscu Chanal
21:03
Speaker 1: that was gonna be my chanal. Take. I think Chalts
21:08
Speaker 1: he is going to very much healthy offense more than
21:13
Speaker 1: James Robinson, because I mean, I think the Lions are
21:14
Speaker 1: going to know they're going to run Robinson, so I
21:17
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be tough for Robinson to create a
21:20
Speaker 1: whole lot in this game. I think fans are gonna
21:22
Speaker 1: be frustrated with it, but I think I think it's
21:24
Speaker 1: gonna be okay because I think the passing offense is
21:25
Speaker 1: gonna work. But he might, James Robinson, he might. He
21:30
Speaker 1: might be the touchdown guy this week. I don't know
21:32
Speaker 1: if he's gonna be big yards guy. I don't know
21:34
Speaker 1: if you're gonna see a hundred and twenty yards out
21:36
Speaker 1: of him, but I think near the red zone you
21:39
Speaker 1: are going to see James Robinson take advantage of my
21:41
Speaker 1: Guysca chald how's that? Slinn? Alright, wait a second before
21:46
Speaker 1: you move on Slynn, before you move on John, what
21:50
Speaker 1: was your might for Labisca Chenal going to be? I
21:54
Speaker 1: don't know anymore, Bryan, they're my best over here. No, uh,
21:59
Speaker 1: he might? Well, that he might was that he might
22:02
Speaker 1: be more important in this game than James Robinson because
22:04
Speaker 1: there's been so much focus on Robinson that I think
22:07
Speaker 1: Chinal he might be a guy who gets a wrinkle
22:11
Speaker 1: or two this week. But I don't think they're going
22:13
Speaker 1: to use him in this weird way very much anymore.
22:17
Speaker 1: I think they like the way he's developing as a receiver.
22:19
Speaker 1: That's what you want him to be. He's developing very
22:22
Speaker 1: quickly as a receiver. He's been impressive. We covered all
22:26
Speaker 1: the bases then, because I basically stream it to you,
22:30
Speaker 1: we got yes, you know your chinels done, you a
22:35
Speaker 1: great job. Nonetheless, all right, I'm going defensive side of
22:38
Speaker 1: the ball. We're going Joe Schoberst. He will, he won't,
22:42
Speaker 1: he might. He will be challenge against running backs Adrian Peterson,
22:46
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift and carry on Johnson. That is no easy task.
22:51
Speaker 1: Run defense is not where it wants to be right now.
22:54
Speaker 1: But keep an eye on this guy, Joe Schobert to
22:56
Speaker 1: have a big game and definitely a big task to
22:58
Speaker 1: try to improve that run defense is going forwards. He
23:01
Speaker 1: won't be talked about much after this game, and I
23:03
Speaker 1: think that just comes with being the middle linebacker, but
23:06
Speaker 1: also his personality. He doesn't have the explosive playmaking ability
23:10
Speaker 1: like we see with Miles Jack and the interception, and
23:12
Speaker 1: we're talking about it all week, but I think when
23:14
Speaker 1: you look at the statue, you're gonna see a lot
23:16
Speaker 1: of tackles, and you're gonna see him make an impact
23:18
Speaker 1: against this running game. It's just not gonna be a big,
23:21
Speaker 1: fabulous thing like Miles Jack's interception we saw a couple
23:24
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. He might, like I just said, lead
23:27
Speaker 1: the team and tackles, stop these running backs, handle Adrian
23:31
Speaker 1: Peterson and be able to get this Jaguars team a
23:33
Speaker 1: much needed win against the Lions. And there you have it.
23:37
Speaker 1: He will, he won't. He might be covered. Lavisca covered,
23:40
Speaker 1: James Jrobinson kind of sort of not bad. Not the
23:43
Speaker 1: greatest producer all admitutes. And we've covered Joe Schobert. We

Speaker 1: information on how you can play with Sunday A Lot
26:00
Speaker 1: to take a little more, A little more song, Pick
26:07
Speaker 1: one and pick its NFL Weekend No Thursday Nights Football.
26:10
Speaker 1: So we're starting fresh, Bryan Sexton, you're up first of all. Win?
26:15
Speaker 1: Is this game it's been moved? I mean, is it Sunday, Monday?
26:18
Speaker 1: Is it Tuesday? I don't even know what Monday Night?
26:23
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I believe it's Monday Night Football. Uh, Bills,
26:30
Speaker 1: I'll take the Bills. You have two teams that were
26:32
Speaker 1: um undefeated. Last week, Chiefs lost at home to the Raiders.
26:38
Speaker 1: Bill's got hammered on Tuesday Night football. I think the
26:42
Speaker 1: Bills come back and make a statement and send the
26:44
Speaker 1: Chiefs into a bit of a losing streak. Alright, I'm
26:50
Speaker 1: liking it. I'm liking it. Bills and Tightens played Monday
26:52
Speaker 1: Night football and that was something of a game, all right,
26:55
Speaker 1: John Osier, Browns and Steelers go for it. Yeah, and
26:59
Speaker 1: this is big. I'm not one who necessarily always buys
27:02
Speaker 1: into October games being statement games being that big, but
27:07
Speaker 1: this feels like that the Steelers are better than people
27:10
Speaker 1: thought there before the season. Their four no for the
27:13
Speaker 1: first time since seventy nine. They feel like one of
27:16
Speaker 1: those really good Steelers teams. The Browns are the hot
27:20
Speaker 1: team this year and everybody's choice. It just feels like
27:24
Speaker 1: a game historically that the Steelers go in and say,
27:28
Speaker 1: we've been here before. You guys, come back when you're ready.
27:32
Speaker 1: But something about this Brown's team, I'm going with the
27:36
Speaker 1: Brown steps at him this week, all right. I'm like,
27:40
Speaker 1: it's crazy that the Steelers team you barely hear about
27:44
Speaker 1: them and they are undefeated in You just see the
27:47
Speaker 1: difference between a Brown team that was on the cover
27:49
Speaker 1: of all these magazines and now you see the Steelers,
27:51
Speaker 1: And I agree with you, John, They've definitely been here
27:53
Speaker 1: before and they're acting like it. All right. I have
27:55
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans, two teams that we know well.
28:00
Speaker 1: Titans coming off a big Monday night football win over
28:03
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills that Brian just talked about, and very
28:06
Speaker 1: impressive because they were dealing with not practicing, not being
28:09
Speaker 1: in the facility, and it went to show, Hey, I
28:11
Speaker 1: guess practice really isn't that important because they played extremely
28:15
Speaker 1: well on Monday. We saw the Houston Texans get their
28:18
Speaker 1: first win over the Jaguars last week. Brian John, I
28:22
Speaker 1: think I gotta go Titans here, right. I mean, we
28:24
Speaker 1: see we saw what the Houston Texans and how they
28:26
Speaker 1: played last week. It was it was good. But John,
28:29
Speaker 1: the tendency Titans, I feel like you're on another level
28:31
Speaker 1: with this division right now. Yeah, the Titans are are very,
28:35
Speaker 1: very good. Um, it's a huge game for the Texans
28:39
Speaker 1: because if they come out and win this, didn't they
28:41
Speaker 1: tell everybody, Look, the coaching change worked, We're coming back.
28:46
Speaker 1: The Texans franchise has come back from deep deficit four
28:49
Speaker 1: early in the season. I think they were one in
28:50
Speaker 1: four a couple of years back and won the division.
28:53
Speaker 1: So they'll believe in themselves if they win this. But
28:56
Speaker 1: the Titans look like a veteran, experienced team team then
29:00
Speaker 1: knows what it's doing and knows how it wants to play.
29:03
Speaker 1: So I think the Titans are going to be a
29:05
Speaker 1: twelve and four type team this year and be a
29:08
Speaker 1: dark horse once you get to the playoffs. The Titans are, Um,
29:12
Speaker 1: They're what every team should shoot for right now. If
29:14
Speaker 1: you don't have that elite quarterback, that consistency. You know,
29:18
Speaker 1: they were knocked. They were deemed all those years for
29:20
Speaker 1: nine and seven, nine and seven, nine and seven. We
29:22
Speaker 1: take that right and here they are now just playing
29:25
Speaker 1: their brand of football and they're playing it's so very well. Um,
29:29
Speaker 1: I'm with you, John, I mean, I don't know that
29:31
Speaker 1: they can get into a shootout. We saw what Patrick
29:33
Speaker 1: Mahomes did, um turning it on in that a FC
29:37
Speaker 1: Championship game and in the Super Bowl in the in
29:40
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. I don't know if they can go
29:42
Speaker 1: toe to toe with them, but they'll be standing there
29:44
Speaker 1: at the end, that's for sure. Right. That is our
29:48
Speaker 1: pick one and pickets going into this NFL weekend, and
29:51
Speaker 1: that is our show, Jaguars Drag Time on a Friday morning.
