  Speaker 1: says it actually Jaguarris Drive Time starts right now. I

  Speaker 1: know that. You know every time that we've played them
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: since I've been here at the head coach, you know
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: we've we haven't done a good job at score and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: points against. You know, that's the one thing that you
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: know we have to do a better job of. And
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I've comes with execution. Good morning, and welcome to Jacks
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Drive Time. Plays like that that seemingly were there all
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: game against the Patriots and Sunday ago just worn't yesterday.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about why. Bryan Sexton, Ashlyn Sullivan and John
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Oshire with you for Jack's Drive Time, brought to you
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: by our friends at jed Home Loans um start with this. Look.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: The Titans came in hungry. I mean, if you read
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: any of their comments or heard anither comments yesterday, logan
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Ryan said, we played just like the Jaguars play. We
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: played great defense, we run the ball, except we do
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: it better, and yesterday they could make the case for that.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Wesley Woodyard, the linebacker, was outspoken yesterday had a jaguar
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: themed shirt on and said we're the Jaguar killers in
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the NFL. And he can make the point they've beaten
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: him three times since the start of last season. The
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Titans came in beat up, but hungry, angry, whatever you
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: want to say. They kind of just feel confident about
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: this team, especially here in this arena. Yes, and they should. Yeah,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: they match up well against the Jaguars. They do things
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: defensively to give the Jaguars a lot of trouble clearly.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I mean the team hadn't scored it. I mean Harper
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: on the stab before the game, after the game, jar
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: was haven't scored a meaningful offensive touchdown in this against
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the Titans since Christmas Eve two thousand sixteen. Well, when
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you don't do that, it's not a fluke anymore. Um.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And you showed at First Place and said the places
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: they were seeing there against the Patriots weren't there against
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the Titans. A lot of us because the Titans took
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: it away. You know. The jail was read, a lot
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: of crossing, rout, a lot of things they do well
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: against New England. England played a lot of man. Titans
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: kept everything in front of him, took away the screen
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: all the football one of one stuff that we'll get
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: into later in the show. But uh, you know, Blake
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Bortles didn't go down field a whole lot. There was
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of combinations of things. But I think
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you know Nate Hackett last Tuesday when he talked, everybody
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: was trying to sort of get to what happy against
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the Patriots? Why was it so good? The jail was
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: won a lot of one on one matchups against the Patriots,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and it made a lot of plays as simple as
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: it sounds, and his maddenings, it sounds that they didn't yesterday.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: They match up well against this team. They have a
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: better front seven than the Patriots have. We were talking
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: about that last night. I think a lot better. And
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: right now, Mike Vrabel has been in this division. He knew.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: He saw this team last year as the defensive coordinator
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: with Houston, so it was new stretch for him to
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: have a good plan coming in and they executed it
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: very well. Now this is Captain Obvious speaking, but I
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: said this to Ashland on the sideline yesterday when Blaine
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Gabbett was walking off the field, I said, oh, because
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and we showed that we showed the highlights here last week.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota will never dazzle you, or I should say
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: he hasn't dazzled people yet with his overall statistics. But
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: he just has this pension for making a play when
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: he needs to. There were a couple of times where
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: he stood in the pocket late and just kind of
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: tossed the ball over the Jags defense. On third down
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: he ran four times for first downs yesterday and then
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: of course on third and one on here that their
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: thirty one. Again, it was a tight situation for the Jaggers.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: With third one he runs for fifteen yards. That was
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: just like last year, last January in the cold in Nashville,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: third down in five with a fifteen ten lead with
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: two thirty two left to play, and on third and five,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you figured this defense has it in to make a
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: stop s defense in football, right, and Marcus squirted free
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: for thirteen yards then, so it was deja vu all
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: over again. To quote the great Yogi bearra But Marcus
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Mario to like these Titans, just has a way against
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: these Jaguars. Well, he's a He's a very good quarterback.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: If if the defense can keep games close, he can
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: make those plays that just drive you up the wall.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: And he seems dude against the Jaguars because these all
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: three of these games that they've lost to this team
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the last what h thirteen months now have been almost identical.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Six three at halftime. I think it was six three
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: at halftime last year and the Titans pulled away. It
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: was six a bunch of field goals yesterday, really a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: bunch of field goals and one long Derrick Henry run
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: in December. These two teams are gonna play games we
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: kick out of field goals. It's it's gonna be close.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I worried before the game, and I said it on
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: nug on our pregame show. The Jaguars needed to score
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a touchdown in the first half yesterday. You didn't want
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: this game to be six three, to be where they
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: were doubting themselves. And I think that's a lot of
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: what happened is you got to about halftime and there
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: was a feeling of we need to score, we need
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to score, and it felt, I don't say tight, but
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: that the longer it didn't happen, the harder was going
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to be to happen. It was almost like desperation mode.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: That you had to get into the end zone, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: there were times where you thought you have to score
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: on this drive to keep it alive, and we didn't
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: get close, by the way, And we'll cover a lot
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: of this through big things, but it just it felt
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: off yesterday from the early going. I don't whether it
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: was a throw or a drop or you know, t
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: J yelled and getting stopped short in the sticks. It
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: just it felt off. So let's get into big things
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: because we'll cover a lot of the numbers and a
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: lot of the storylines from Sunday's nine to six lost
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: for the Titaness. Yes, the first big thing is punch
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Losing isn't fun, especially when it to the Tennessee Titans.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: We just talked about it. They have now lost three
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: games to Tennessee Titans, have not scored a meaningful offensive
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: touchdown in those three games, Yet Miles Jack says they're
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: still the better team. I feel like we should have
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: won the game, But at the end of the day,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: um early lows nine at nine to six will bounce Bay.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I'd rather happen now than later on. So a little
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: things learn we learn from. We didn't lose that same
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: as better than us, So I'm not too worried about it.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Major day ja vu right there. That's Fred Taylor in
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: as the Titans were the only team to beat this
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: club that year. I mean, just it took me back.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Um Myles could make a case, uh if he wants,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: because it was such a close ball game. But as
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: we were talking about, the Titans just took it to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: them early on. Defensively, John, they kept everything in front
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: of them. As you mentioned, they took away all the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: things that worked well and dared the Jacks to go
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: deep down the field. Two things didn't work really well yesterday.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: The offensive line struggled and obviously you had two backups
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in there that the offensive line played okay well. There
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: were they were key moments where pressure came especially of
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the game, but for the most part early on, I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: think I can't hang this one on the offensive line,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: not hanging it all on the offensive line. But Chris
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Reid got beat a couple of times in the third
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and fourth quarter where you really needed him to hold
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: up so that you could connect on those passes. So
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: it was and he had a big holding penalty. They
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: really hurt absolutely. There were issues there. The really big
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: one though, is the wide receivers didn't play very well.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: There were routes that were rounded off broups that were
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: run to the markers. Last week, we're behind the markers.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: So it was just it was out of sink. And
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I could just tell by the language the body language
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: of Deeede Westbrook in the locker room afterwards, and he said,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: we didn't play very well. And it sure seems like
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: they were a big part of the problem. And Needy
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: uh several times that Look, the game plan was fine,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: we didn't execute. Um. Again, I think the Titans had
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: something to do with that. And you say, why is
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: there such a huge difference. The Patriots played a ton
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: of man and the Patriots a secondary, as we saw
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: last night, is not incredibly fast. Uh. Blake Bortles played
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: very well against the Patriots. But also if you think
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: about a lot of those crossing routes, they were very
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: easy wide open throws. Um. I do wonder yesterday you
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: get into it. It seemed like Nate Hackett had a
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: few down field throws called uh, none of them got thrown.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: And I don't think they had a pass over fifteen
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: yards downfield. And you wonder if it it just didn't
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: look there. If the separation wasn't there, I think Blake
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: would tell you sometimes you have to go ahead and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: make that chance throw. You can't throw into the wrong coverage,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: but you've got to set something up where you're going
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: downfield more than they were. Your bigger picture, though, is
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: is that you got a shot with the Colts and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the Texans losing, to be up in the division and
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: be in first place this morning, and they're not. They're
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: half a game technically behind the Titans, and that which
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you had hoped you'd be able to declare which is
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: best team in the division. Now it's going to be
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a dog fight. And I think a lot of us
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: thought that it would be a dogfight all year last year,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: that you know, a three oh lead or a two
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: game lead in a three oh record might not be
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: entirely representative of what this division is going to be. Yeah,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: it almost seemed too good to be true. We were
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: talking about it last week, saying that they could have
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: a full two game lead in this division, and now
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: we're here the dog fight again. And you know what
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: they say about things that are too good to be true?
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Jay generally are I never get him? Move on let's
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: go to the next one. Okay, big thing too is
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: no offense. And when we say now and we mean
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: a very little rush for eighty seven yards thirty six
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: on third out efficiency. Bordal said it best. You can't
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: win a game when you score six points. No, I
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: mean we killed ourselves with stupid penalties, were drops, miss
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: some throws. Uh, you know, we gotta not hurt ourselves. Uh.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: You know, I think especially the way our defense is
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: and the way they play. I mean we got scored
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: one touchdown and win the game and go out there
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and scores six points in four corners. Um, I mean,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: that's that's bad. As an offense. You can't ever. You
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: gotta find a way to to get the ball in
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the end zone, um, you know, and find a way
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: to win. But you know, give them credit defensively, they
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: put a good He's gonna take a lot of the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: heat obviously, the quarterback always does, and he in particular
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: always does from folks that will just look at the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: numbers and say that was bad. Blake Bortles right, um.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: And there were some moments where it's like, oh right,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the the consecutive past deflections out of the pocket by
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Brian Rapko in the third quarter. Uh, that didn't look good,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and there were a couple of balls that sailed on him. Um.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: But in talking to people, they put this one more
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: on their receivers than on Blake Bortles or the drops hurt.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: And when you're playing a game like this, and the
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Jaguars play a lot of games like this because they
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: do play to their defense, they're not gonna have every
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: game is not always gonna be like Newing when you're
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: throwing the ball up and down the field. Um. So
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: as a result, you're gonna be in some tight games
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: where a few big players are going to turn it. Uh.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: It just seemed like eight penalties or seventy five yards
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem like a huge number compared to some of
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: their bad penalty days, but everyone of them felt like
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: they hurt. Every one of them. Put you behind the
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: chain on offense. I think it was four twenty nine yards,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: but it was a delay that all of a sudden
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: puts you in first and fifteen against the Titans. The
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: way they played defense against the Jaguars. Every time you're
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: behind the sticks, if it feels like you're in third
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and twenty five, as opposed to first and fifteen. So
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: many little things like that, the two keeling cold drops,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: where had he caught the ball and turned around and
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: run five yards he has a first down. They never
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: seem to get the momentum going. And four I have
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: little plays like that. When you're running, it always feels
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: like you're running few plays and few possessions against the Titans,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: so every one of them seems magnified. All the things
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: you miss. Clearly they miss Leonard for Nett and what
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: he brings. And we were there without him. We weren't
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: saying right, that was the storyline last week, wasn't it. Yeah?
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: And that's that and and that's evaporated. At this point,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: people are wondering where's Leonard for Nett. My question this
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: week for Doug Morone is how far is he from
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: coming back? Right? I mean, I think a lot of
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: people assumed that they're just resting him there being smart,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: they think they can beat the Titans without him. Yes,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't buy any Yeah, me neither. I mean I
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: was actually asked for the game, well, uh, there's waiting
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: to get him back against the Jets, right, And I said,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: waiting back against the Jets playing the Titans reach you
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: twice last year. There was this amazing perception last year
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: last week that the Titans were bad. Is a team
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: that beats you twice that was one and one coming in.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: The only loss was to a Miami team that hasn't
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: lost yet. Now, whe all, you know, it was sort
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: of well, yeah, there's no way they're thinking that if
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: for it wasn't in the games because he couldn't be
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: in the game. The perception, by the way of the Titans,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I think was built on the fact that they had
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: two offensive tackles that were on the injury report and
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: they were gonna play with Blaine Gabert. But they still
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: have given up a whole lot of right, I think.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I think I'm not gonna speak for everybody, but I
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: think if Blaine Gabbert's in that ball game yesterday, the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Jaguars rocked him enough early that he right, he was
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: not going. He was never comfortable in the pocket anyway
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: against this defense. Not a different game. Right, they shot
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: themselves in the foot by knocking the starting quarterback out.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: But that's neither here nor there. That's an easy storyline
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to talk about, um, But going into the game, that
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: wasn't there thinking Blaine and beat him last year. Going
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: into the game. There was no thought of, hey, let's
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: rest our guys and get this is in college. You're
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: not playing college at Charleston yesterday. I think the for
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Net storyline, which lingering like a hamstring injury, will be
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: big all week long. Well, I think it's really big,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and Brian, you and I have talked about it. It's
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: really big because because Corey Grant is not an every
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: down running back and you really only have one experienced
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: every down back to go to when Leonard Fournette's out
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: of the game. It was a question in the offseason.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: It was curious in the offseason, and and with four
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Nette out, now you have a really t J yelled
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and I'm not knocking Brandon wild and I think he's okay,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: but he's never done it before. So you do wonder
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: how you move forward running back with that position. Well,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: and remember on the sideline of the Jaguar sideline yelled him,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: got digged and Corey had to go in for a
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: moment there you're playing with Corey and Brandon Wilds. Well,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: so really you're playing with Brandon Wilds because Corey is
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: not between the tackles runners. He's a scheme guy. You
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: set him up with scheme. UM. It was frustrating yesterday
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to watch this offense without their hammer because defenses and
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the Jets, by the way, have a really good defense,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: uh defensive scheme this this this team completely different without
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Leonard for not on the field, So we're gonna be
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: watching that all week long. UM. Leonard gave a clue
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: in his Thursday news conference last week. He didn't assume
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: he would be back. He said, it's a long season.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: It's up to the coaches. We'll have to wait and
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: see what Doug says he practiced last week. This is
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: a major storyline this week. The Jaguars are not the
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: same without Leonard for that, despite what we saw against
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, I think it's worth noting, by
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the way, UM, as good as they were against the
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Patriots when four nets in there, he gives Nate Hackett,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: a clever guy, the ability to be even more creative
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: if he has to be creative to win without him.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Think about how creative he can be this year with him.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: But we've barely see him. He was out midway through
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the second quarter of the opener, and they played I thought,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: considering the conditions in New York, I thought they were
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: playing pretty well offensively. Went for when for Net was
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: in the game, they had I think it was three
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: scores on four possessions. They had to touchdown all back.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: As as you pointed out many times, Brian, it's not
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: necessarily just the yards that for Nette gives you. It's
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: what he forces defenses to do. And the Jaguars, no
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: defenses are going to scheme them a certain way when
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: for Nets in the game, and it and it does
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: open up a lot of other things. Nor for net
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: receivers who are playing well, is you're really bad combination?
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Mark that one down, all right? Final big thing, final
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: big thing is the a f C South. So the
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Jaguars had the chance to go to games up and
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the division yesterday. Obviously that did not happen. Now you're
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: in second place. Talking to a s J in the
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: locker room after the game, Brian, and he said, the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: focus now is going three and one in the first quarter.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Moving forward. At the end of the day, you know,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: it's unfortunately lost. The Titans own one in division play
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: one on one and obviously conference play, but you know,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: we could we could end this quarter of the season
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: three one, and I think that's something really ver important
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: that we got to look at. Unfortunately, like you said,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: we know no one likes to lose, but if you
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: want to look at the big picture here, we have
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: a chance to go three one in that first quarter
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: and that's very very nice. Yeah, let's stay big picture
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: real quick, and then we'll will narrow in on the
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: on the division. Can see right there the Jaguarrison Titans
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: up on the Colts. The Colts, by the way, I
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: have to say, they've impressed me with their resilience. And
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: then the Darius Leonard kid. I watched some of the
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: highlights that all over the field gives their defense something
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't think they had. So that unit with him
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: on the field is a much better unit. Um Hey,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: to go into Philly and to be in the ball
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: game late something for Indianapolis. Houston looks like they're in
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: a tailspin right now, uh, losing at home. However, with
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the talent they've got down there, they they're going to
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: be a factor until they're not to steal one of
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: John's lines. Yeah, you know, I'm not sure, you know
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: it's a Houston always thought coming in was a team
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: that needed to prove it again to get back. I
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: understood the hoop around to Shawn Watson. There's also an
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: element with young quarterbacks that they need to prove it
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: over the long term rather than six games. I think
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: he will be good. I think he still got a
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: long way to go. A little concerning with luck because
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you're hearing words that the arms strength isn't quite Yeah,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: we've got that. We're gonna cover that. NFC South headlines
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: where they did and uh, you know, so if he
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't get back, you wonder where their peak is. I
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: hope he does, because you don't want to see guys.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: The league needs it's great quarterbacks. And but that's a
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: little concerning to be hearing that, and maybe it's just
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: a matter of him still taking steps towards that. Here's
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: the thought. Let me be more clear on the Texans.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I don't see them as being a factor in winning
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the division this year, and that's not their record. Their
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: offensive line is horrible. Their offensive line is really banged up.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: The guy that they spent a lot of money, Sean
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Arle Henderson to man, the left tackle is done for
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: the season. So they're shuffling already with that offensive line,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: but with their defense, they can be an impactful force
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: in terms of division wins late in the season. They can,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: you know, the pecking order, they can impact that in
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: a big way. And by the way, big picture, right,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: um in two and one, with a chance to go
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: three and one with a game at home against a
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: rookie quarterback next week, it's fine. How would you like
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: to be the Minnesota Vikings this morning? Who are the
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: first team as a seventeen point favorite to lose? Since what?
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: We'll save that one. We get that one coming up
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: a little Friday. About that too, and oh oh and
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: two week three? Oh yeah, I was applying it to
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Baltimore Denver. It's a tough, tough thing to get to
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: three and oh against a desperate team, and that's where
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: the Vikings were faced. All right, here's our Axfinity player
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: of the game Twitter pool who is at Calais Campbell
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: with a couple of sacks, Josh Lambo with a couple
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: of field goals, someone else. You can vote obviously by
• 19:35

• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Jags drive on on a Monday morning from t I
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: A A Bank Field in Jacksonville. Jaguars full nine to
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: six to the Titans two and one. Now on this season,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: bummer for them. What could have been an eight game
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: home winning streak was ended by the Titans yesterday. We've
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: got some of the highlights, some of the moments of
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the game we want to share with you. Ashley. Yeah,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: we'll start off with a positive. So a solid game
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: for the defense gets the quarterback a lot at the beginning,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: started the game with a three and ounce, So let's
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: show a few of those sacks. Third and seven, gaber buried,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Calais Campbell getting there for Jacksonville. Gabra from the gun
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: this time and get under pressure. Escapes for a moment
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: that he is sicked. Telvin Smith is reasy Jaguars. I
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: thought they they had put him in a box and
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: he was going to struggle all day. At this point,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: you're feeling really good about the ball game because pressure
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: is not Blaine's thing, and they were coming from all angles,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: and uh, how about Calais Campbell, What can you say?
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, here's a guy who's has been battling a
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: sore knee and yesterday dominated when he lined up inside,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: came away with two sacks, looked like the mayor of
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Saxonville all over again, and had a mammoth play late
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: in the game on a run stop followed by either
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: a sack or a pressure. They really kept the team
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: in it. I men, you know, as much as they
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: were pressure and Gabbert early, I didn't have a great
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: feeling early either. I still thought even if Gabbert had
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: stayed in, I don't know if that was going to
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: change how this team's offense was gonna. I think they
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: were gonna win the game, but I think they would
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: have been the team winning twelve nine or nine six
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: um because I just didn't, you know, maybe I was
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: two locked into my early on. I was worried about
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: this game from the start, but as well as the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: defense was playing, I felt like they were going to
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: need a defensive touchdown, and boy, the Malik Jackson play
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: here we Go just really reversed that. That's what we're
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: about to show because if any play turned the game,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: this was it. So third of night, Gabrit again set
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: football came lose. Boy Gabert looks like he just shake
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: it up. You know, when you go back and see
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: it from a different angle, it wasn't helmet, the helmet,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: his shoulder hit him in the chest. Watch right here.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I think you can see it. Maybe the crown of
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: his helmet hit the face mask there. It's tough to tell.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: It's I wrote this morning. It's a brutally tough call.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: And you you want to blame the league, You want
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: to blame the officials. You want to blame somebody because
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: it took away a big play. I don't know how
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: the official in that case, I couldn't have called it also,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: but I also don't know. I mean, Lee Jackson will
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: be on this set on Wednesday. I don't know what
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I'll tell him he should do differently. Well, I mean
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: he you know, not that he would listen to me anyway,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: But a coach, I don't know how you coach out
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: of that. You're talking about a guy two hundred pound
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: defensive lineman who disengages from a block and his forward
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: momentum is carrying his body down right, he's trying, but
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: he can't help it. I'm not, by the way, I'm
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: not saying that it was a bad call. Clearly, the
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: way that the rules are written today, that's a call
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: that the officials can make, and they did. It's just
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: when you've got defensive lineman engage with offensive lineman and
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: they used their leverage to get free, they're not coming
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: all the way back up. His body was naturally going down.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: By the way, the quarterback, as you'll notice, was squatting down.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: He was down. It was gonna happen. There was no
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: way you could avoid that play. And you wonder if
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: there's not at the end of all this some sort
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: of fine system. Yeah, I feel is wrong to penalize
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: that play, but it doesn't feel wrong to try to
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: penalize head to head contact out of the game. You
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: wonder if there's not some sort of exorbitant fine system
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: coming down the road. I'm not trying to get players,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: uh checkbook lighter, but where you can make the intent
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: or I make it so severe that that any intent
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: goes away. I don't know that that's even possible, because
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: they probably would have done that if it was possible.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: But it just feels wrong to penalize some of these
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: things when it's changing the outcome of the game like that.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: So we've got to get into Malik's mind. But so
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: he gets free and he's making his way to the
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: quarterback in a system where the fine deters a player
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: from hitting, Is he supposed to just hit the ground?
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? In that case, there's
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: no way that Malik Jackson, who's forwardablementum. And I'm not
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: a physicist, right, but anyone who whiz can tell you
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: their weather man. Well I can do right. But but
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: but mass right going forward two pounds going forward like
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: that at that speed, how is he supposed to get
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: How is he supposed to pull his head out? It's
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: not gonna happen. Yeah, So is he supposed to just
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: take himself out of the place where the end at
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the quarterback? I just don't know how you get away
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: with that? Yeah? I don't know, right, I mean do
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: you can just see and you see him trying to
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: tilt his head to the side where he's trying to
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: make a change for it. But you just look at
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: the hit last week on Cam Newton where it was
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: very obvious it was helmet helmet contact. That's a whole
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: different story than this, right, And I do think as
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: it as it goes on, the way it usually works
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: is the competition committee will meet after the season or
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: really season, and they get examples like this and they say, Okay,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: how can we massage it so that it's more fair,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: that it's better for the game. So I do think
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: there will be things that have been to try to
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: tweak to improve it. But in the era where we
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: are so aware of concussions, I can't see it going
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: back to the defense. It's not going to go back,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: but you can it's gonna be easier for Willie Jackson
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: in the future. But I think it I think it
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: can be better. It's never gonna be great, but I
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: think it can be better than it is now. That
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: and I think most people who were watching that that
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: was the turning point of the game, not only because
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: it took away a takeaway, but because it took Gabbard
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: out of the game and brought Mariota in. And as
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I have said, but since last week, John he's a
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: guy this team struggles with because he's slippery and he
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: finds way to keep drives alive. Let's keep going with highlights.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Will obviously talk more about that all week. Yes, so
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: the offensive store line was the drop passes. Here is
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: one example of many of a catch you have to
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: make in order to make a play. Portals are going
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: from the gun. This is second and twenty isn't complete
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: off the hands of Keeling coal now and the only
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: guy who when I saw that, I went, whoa, whoa? Well,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: what happened to Odell Beckham Junior last week? Right? You
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: gotta catch that. I get that it's a bit low,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: it's not ideally thrown. But the guy who made maybe
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: the catch of the season in week two can't pull
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: that one in on a week three. That's an example
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: of the receivers not being dialed in. They didn't play
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: well yesterday well, and it's also subtly it shows you
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: a couple of things that were going wrong. And it's
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: what we talked about with everything seemed to be difficult yesterday.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: What was the down and distance on that play? I
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: can't recall second shouldn't be in second and twenty. I
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: forget how they got there, But but you don't get
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: in second and twenty. They don't line you up with
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: twenty yards to go, you have to mistake your way
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: back to second and twenty. I think it was a
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: penalty and that's what they were up against. They kept
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: giving themselves difficult situations. It was not as extreme as
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: what they did last year against Tennessee. Remember last year
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: against Tense, they were like five have straight possessions where
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: they were in all of a sudden, he's long down
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: and distance. This is not you know, this is not
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: going to be a team They were exceptionally good on
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: third long against New England. This there are a few
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: teams that can do that all the time. This is
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: not going to be a team that ever does that
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: all the time, especially when you're not playing its man coverage.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: So it was. It was tough, and they made it
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: tough for on themselves too often. Before we show you
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: in the next highlight, this fake punt that we're about
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: to show is deja vu all over again again, over again,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: all over again, all over again. Right the minute they
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: ran it, I thought back to the game here in
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: week two in the rain, at the end of the
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: first quarter in the first half, where Brian Barker ran
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the fake field goal and was stop shy. The Gold line,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: and I remember thinking, then, boy, that's a terrible call. Tom,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? And as they're running, I could
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: see Corey Grant coming in motion and I thought they
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: running a fake punt? What are they doing running a
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: fake punt? Here? Go ahead and show the highlights. There's
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: another first put this week, trying to find the edge.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: That's Corey Grant needed the fifty for the first down.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: You know, they got fake punts off last year against
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: teams like Baltimore, right, they got one against Houston in
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the division, But against this team that was and Doug
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Brown said afterwards it was a mistake. He saw something
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: he liked, but still that was a mistake And that's
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: the kind of play early on where you go, okay,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: this is not their day. Well, they showed I think, um,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: this is gleaning from what the commentators said. They seemed
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: to show all out rushed and they've My impression is
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: they've all out rushed from that formation the Titans, and
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: they didn't all out rushed. They basically played against the fake. Uh,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: sometimes you eat the bears. And I was buried to you, hey,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: when it worked last year, it was it was genius
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: and it so it's awfully hard, considering that Doug's m
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: O has been to be aggressive. They're a couple of
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: plays last year we thought why in the world would
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: you do that? Um, and it worked and it was great.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: So that of course led to a field goal and
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: an early three nothing lead. It's just all right the NFL.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: When it doesn't work, get it. If it works. Everyone's
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: calling him the genius this morning, and I'm not saying
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: it's stupid. I just when I saw Courty Grant go
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: on motional, I went, wow, this just felt to me
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: like off the wrong time. Yeah, well reminded me of
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: the fake field goal. It's they're just moments. And I
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: guess you know they played forty seven times in the
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: regular season, now forty eight times overall. I guess just
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: what these two teams know each other so well? History
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: repeated itself yesterday and they got stoned on that special
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: team's play. Yep. But to credit of Doug Moron, if
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: that play would have worked, we all have been calling
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: him an aggressive play calling genius. Yeah, but sometimes aggression
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: he's misplaced. Take it from me. Okay, final play the
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: last highlights, so we've mentioned it all throughout the show.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Marks Mariota can kill you with his feet, and sometimes
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: the stats don't show at seven attempts for fifty one yards,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: but on third down he always seems to get that
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: extra yard. And here's an example of it. Are you
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: down too, Mariota fist down and more. Everyone's thinking Lewis
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: And it was Mariota third and five last January, New
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Year's Day in uh or New Year's Eve in um Nashville.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Same play, I mean, same result at least, if not
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: the exact same play call. Third down to one of
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Mariota gets him and Telvin's almost got him right there.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: It's deja vu again and again again again again again again. Well,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: it's interesting. Very Church made a tackle And I talked
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: to Barry Church immediately after the game and he was
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: talking to another media person about third manageable, you know,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: and they said they were in third manageable all day.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: They kept it in Mariota would make a play here
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: or play there. And I I said, sort of what they do, right,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: and he yeah, that's what that When they're good, when
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: the Titans are winning, that's what they are. They don't
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: dazzle you. They're a weird team. And I'm not talking
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: for Barry Church and talking for me, they're a weird
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: team because you watched me to think, how in the
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: world are they good? And I asked to Sean Gibson
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: this last because said why are they good? And he
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: knew what I was asking because they don't look great,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: they don't look like they should beat you. And yet
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: at the same time I get they changed head coaches.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Last year, they were nine and seven. Two years ago,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: they were nine and seven. Last year they were one
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: of eight teams playing at the end. They only made it.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: You know why, the Jaguar was only made it one
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: round further than them. It's not like there's this big
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: discrepancy in talent or performance between these two teams. They're
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: good because they scrap and they claw, they keep it
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: close and then they can make a player two at
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: the end of the games. That's how they expect to win.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Mariota seven starts against the Dragonars five and two. He
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: just is a guy and he's probably made a play
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: like that in in most of those win probably more
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: than one if you go back and you look at
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: him last year too. He just finds a way to
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: get the place made when they need to be made.

• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Brian Sexton, Ashley Sullivan, John Ozure Um, there was kind
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: of a sense of the world was ending among Jaguars
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: fans last night after the loss. I mean, I didn't
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: see your inbox. I know your inbox gets full. We're
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: gonna get the ozone snapshot in just a moment. But
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: just you know, my sampling of family and neighbors and
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: kids and all of that stuff, just like, how could
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: this happen? My goodness, two and one is so different
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: than three and oh you know why right, John? And
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned Um. He never misses the opportunity
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: to make a statement I thought I thought this driving
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: home last night and coming in this morning. It's been
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: a long time since he had a loss like this.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that the New England lost last year.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: You know, they hadn't lost this year. They were tuna.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: The New England lost the end of year last year.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Season over right, Well, the last two losses last year
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: didn't matter, so it was very much okay, they lost it,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: and then you lost at Arizona. That was the last time.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: So the first few losses last year, you didn't know
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: if this team was good yet or not. It was
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: sort of a one and one and then they'd win
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: and be like, oh, they're good, and then they lose, Uh,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: they're terrible. Well now you sort of know they're good,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: and you lose one at home and you're like why
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: what happened? So it it's hard to get past the
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: fact that in the NFL one early season loss, it's bad.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: You've got to fix it, you've got to improve off
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: of it. But it doesn't remotely mean the seasons over
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: It doesn't mean you're not a good team. This team
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: still is is an unbelievably good defense that will be
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: its calling card all year. It will win them a
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: lot of games. You must improve from this, But I
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: think that's what it is. I think it's been so
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: long since they had a loss during the regular season
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: that you forget that in the NFL, nobody goes undefeated.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: You have these and you have to move on from right. Well,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I think it bears mentioning. If you're a Vikings fan
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: this morning, you're waking up, you're questioning how good you
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: are because that that Buffalo team three and opening day,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: they didn't look like get out of their own way.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: They were really never in the ballgame against the Chargers
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: last week, and they were a seventeen point underdog coming
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: into this. If you're if you're the Vikings this morning,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: you're wondering, what was that? What's going on? What if
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: you're what if fan this morning and you're waking up
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: thinking Jimmy g should have gone out of bounds right
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the thirty seven million dollar quarterback
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: is gone. Most teams have a few what was that
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: games during the city and I think the Jaguars had
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: one of theirs yesterday. The concern is more to me, Okay,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: now you're you know, is offensively can you sort of
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: get through this and get back healthy and get back
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: to what you want to be. Um. I think the
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: positive for the Jaguars is there is nothing that happened
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: so far that makes you question is this a great defense?
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: Is this defense something you canna lie on? Are we
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: going to be in all games? That's still their formula
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: and they're still that right. And we'll talk about Leonard
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: coming back all week long, but last week they took
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: too much away from Leonard. This week you want to
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: be careful not to put too much on Leonard. This offense,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: the receivers, the offensive line, the quarterback, they all have
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: to get better. All right, Time for Roson snapshot, Let's
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: see what was in your in box? To the Oh
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: all right, that song just makes everything better. Let's go.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Let's go with Brian. This feels exactly like the Jags
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Titans friber we of old, where Jackson can make the
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: argument that they are the superior team, except we just
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: can't beat Tennessee. Yeah. I mean, it's uh, you don't
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: want to automatically correlate everything to ninety nine, but there
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: are those you don't have to just go through the
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: history of the of the of the arrivalry. I mean,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: it's just been that way. Well, it's not like it's
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: a completely one side of a a row. It's like twenty
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: and twenty all time. I mean, it's not like yeah, yeah,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: that's yeah, no no, But but there have been enough
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: memorable losses here to this franchise. Remember when they were
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: the Oilers in playing in Nashville, they kept you from
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: winning the division on your home turf here, Remember that game.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a um beyond the history of it though.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: I think the bigger point is they have a tough
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: time matching up against this Tennessee defense, and which you
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: wonder going forward, are there other teams that can match
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: what they do to it? Uh? I think the Tennessee defense,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: because they're very good in the front seven, because they
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: keep everything in front of them, because they defend screens
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: very well, really match up well against Jaguars offense. Uh.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: That's more concerning to me than the Hecks. But hey,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: when you haven't scoring, it's a team in three straight
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: games or something to it. I'm on the record in
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: the show Deja Vu all over again again again, that's
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: the team today. Yeah, when the Titans it is. Ryan's
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: right on all right, let's go to Bill from New York.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: We had a chance in an early choke hold on
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: this division. Wow. Yeah, And we mentioned it was a
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: it was a big chance to get to a two
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: game lead early. It would have felt like you were
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: sprinting and everybody else was sort of gasping and trying
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: to get at your heels. But at the same time,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: we've talked about this big picture thing. Let's not lose sight.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: There's only four unbeaten teams in the NFL right now,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: and you're still two in one if you and next
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: week you're three in one and you've and you've won,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: you know, you've won the first quarter of your season,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: which they always talk about. You go two and one,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: two and one every segment and you're eleven and five.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: This is still a good start. It's frustrating because you
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: didn't beat Tennessee, but I think you were still in
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: a very good position moving forward this season, and I
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: think you feel like you're going to get your wins
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: as they go on. All right, let's wrap it up
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: with Mark from Ocean Way. So any truth to the
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: thought that Malik Jackson lost the game for US as
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: soon as Marietta went into the game, I got nervous. Well,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: he makes you nervous. And we've talked about this a
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: little bit. It's kind of silly to think that MOLLIEK
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Jackson lost the game for him by doing that. But
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: there is certainly a Some teams match up against other players,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: but they do others. The way the Jaguars rushed the
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: past or, you would have thought they could have kept
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: getting to Gabbert, maybe with just Katie bar the door.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Look that it was in the first quarter. You teams
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: in the NFL adjust and they would have adjusted to
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: something out of that to solve that a little bit,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: you would have thought. But a Mariota, there's something about
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: as Brian said, all the show, all every game, you're
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: that phrase, right, Um, he seems to do that, and
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: when he came in, I think everybody got nervous. It
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: reminded me of the game. This is not deja vu, h.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: It reminded me the game in Washington in two thousand fourteen.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: It was a week two when the Jaguars, and again
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: a different team, they knocked r G three out and
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: r G three was in the ballgame and he didn't
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: look all that good and Kirk Cousins came in, you know,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: I mean the minute that Mariota came into the game,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: it was, oh, this is not the same guy that
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: they were harassing. So all right, let's take a break.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll have NFL headlines, we'll have
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: headlines from the a f C South. But first, here's
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: where the pool stands right now. Who is your Exfinity
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: player of the game from yester days lost to the Titans.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: A lot of comments in someone else that no one
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: should be in a loss, but you can't take away
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: from Calais two sacks, two big plays plus the one
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: that John mentioned late in the ball game. We'll see
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: what you think. Jaguar's Twitter at the place to go

• 45:49
  Speaker 1: third quarter, uh, which sort of speaks to how short
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: that you know, Tennessee shortens the game the way they
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: play and all of a sudden, you feel like you're
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: running out of time. It felt like it was late
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: in the game, and it was actually the first star
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: the third quarter. Uh, that's what they do. By the
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: time the Jaguars get the ball back, all of a sudden,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: you know it's the end of the third quarter and
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: you feel like you're running out of game. Uh. That's
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: the sort of game they wind up playing against the Jaguars,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: and for some reason, he gives his team fits. All
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: right for a moment, let's take on the rest of
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: the a f C South Here headlines from yesterday, and
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: the Texans are oh and three, but they have a
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: little ray of sunshine. You realize J. J. Watt got
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: a half a sack yesterday. He shared it with Jadeveon Clowney.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: It was a strip sack of Eli Manning, his first sack,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: his first big play in an offensive backfield since the
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: of September two thousand and sixteen. Now he's had back surgery.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: He broke the tibial plateau at the top of his
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: of his tibia. Um, he doesn't look like the same
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: guy when you watch him, But if they get him
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: back to any degree close to that, he is a
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: game changing kind of guy on defense. And I haven't
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: had a chance to watch the Texans, mainly because I
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: watch the Jaguars every Sunday, so he don't get a
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: chance to delve into what they're doing. You know, he
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: just feels like a guy and and in the game
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: we saw him early last year, not the same guy
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: as he was for these injuries, and when you start
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: seeing stats like what you're seeing, you start wondering if
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: they ever get back. And again, that's why it's tough
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: to say that the Texans are going to be what
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: they were until you see him back, because he was
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: such a big deal, such a dominant defensive player. Clowney
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: and Merciless are fine, but they're not J. J. Watton
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: his prime in terms of being able to almost singlehandedly
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: make you a defensive factor as a team. And that
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Clowney shared that sack is big for them because they've
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: been trying to get him back on the field on
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: a consistent basis. He missed their loss in Nashville the
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: week before. Stay tuned to UH to find out more
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: about J. J. Watt. We'll see him the week before
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: the Jags go to London, so we'll follow down and
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: three for them. You know again, you said master the
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: obviously it's kind of obviously. That's a deep hole and
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: they're in a lot of trouble at this point if
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: they don't win. Now, Uh, the Colts yesterday, here's what
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: you were alluding to. They changed quarterbacks. They sent Jacoby
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Brissette in. Luck played the whole game and started the
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: final drive at an eleven yard line and Dington Duncton
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: navigated them out to the forty six where there was
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: time for one final shot to the end zone, and
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: they went with Jacoby Brissette for the sixty yard pass
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: instead of Luck. Now this morning in Indianapolis, they're saying, look,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: there's no problem with Luck, although Luck afterwards said, look,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with the coach making the change.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: Brissette has a stronger arm than I do right now,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: so he's still clearly working his way back. Let's term
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: off right now. There a lot I think, well and
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: it again, it'll loses what we talked about earlier. The
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: I haven't had a chance to watch a whole lot
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: of the Colts, but what you year is that the
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: arm strength isn't quite there. There's some Dincon and Duncan.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: He obviously knows the game, He obviously can see it.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: He obviously is a very good quarterback in terms of
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: knowing where to go with the ball um physically. Will
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: he get back to what he was before the injury
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: and therefore be the same dynamic player who looked comfortable
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: in every situation. He's so important to what they do
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: that sort of rises and falls on him. Well, we
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: talked about J. J. Watt, Right, you're talking about a
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: dominant defensive lineman, a guy who was physically overpowered. Well,
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: he has back and a leg. Right, a quarterback with
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: shoulder would seem to be in the same boat as J. J. Watt.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: They both have to figure out how they can get
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: closer to that. But I don't know that you ever
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: see you can do it at the quarterback position. You could.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to imply that he's not helping them
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: be in the lineup. They're certainly better overall with him
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: in the game right now than they would be without him.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Can he get back to what he was for a
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: couple of years? They remember? It's easy to sort of
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: write off the Colts, uh, because their last couple of
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: years for a couple of years he was getting into
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: eleven and five when once he went out, it was
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: clear they weren't eleven and five talent team. He was
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: one of those guys all right. Time for NFL headlines
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: and we'll talk about another quarterback, this one Jimmy Garoppolo,
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: the thirty seven million dollar man. He is the single
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: largest salary cap hit on any team's cap. In two
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: thousand and eighteen, he evaded Justin Houston, went up the
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: sideline for thirteen yards, but instead of stepping out of bounds,
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: he fought for extra yardage with about five minutes left
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: to play in the game and ran into Steve Nelson,
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: that the Chief's corner on the sideline, and afterward Houston
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: said he should have just stepped out of bounds. Now
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: this morning, they're worried that Jimmy Garoppolos lost for the
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: season with the a c L. We all saw how
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: well he played against this team last year and clearly
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: the Niners were making him the centerpiece. They had some
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: hopes to be will to be a wild card team
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: this year. If Garoppolos out, that seems to be over.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: That's your momentum, that's your team, your offense, Like we
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: think that the Jaguars have issues and that the fans
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: are upset this morning. That is that is a blow. Yeah,
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: they weren't. They were probably a little overblown in the
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: off season because of their finish last year. I don't
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: know that they were wild card bound. But I get
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: what justin Houston saying, it's awfully hard to take the
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: fight out of the guy. And it's all the hard
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: to look back and say, well he tores a c
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: of course he should have, but football, Yeah, it's sure
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: is up next. Cover my glasses on. Carry on. Johnson
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: a hundred one rushing yards and did a seventy game
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: streak with the Lions not having a one hundred yard
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: rusher not since Thanksgiving Day two thousand and thirteen. And
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: that was a big win for them. They were oh
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: and two and not Patricia facing Bill Belichick that whole,
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: that whole story line. They beat him up pretty good.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: That was a muslin for them. Think about how much
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: better Matt Stafford is with the running game. Yeah, And
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: it's it's tricky here because I'm a big believer that
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: oh and two teams are the most dangerous teams there
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: are because They're on their last shred of hope. This
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: is this is a league where it's very hard for
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: a non desperate team to beat a desperate team because
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: town is usually close. Teams are that desperation, as we've
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: all seen it, and I think that was a little
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: bit happened in Minnesota yesterday. The Patriots usually trump that though,
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: so for the Patriots to lose that game, I ain't
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: The Patriots will be back, but this is a weirder
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Patriots start than usual. Well you wanted to. People are
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: pointing to Julian Edelman returning, but remember he's coming back
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: from an a c L. Right, even with the extra
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: month off because of the suspension, you're still relying on
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: a receiver coming back off of an A c L.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: It appears that Josh Gordon might be able to help them,
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: but it's got a hamstring and he hasn't been on
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: the field of on only eleven meaningful games since two
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: thousand and thirteen. They're kind of gambling. I mean, they
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: need some things to fall right for them. I'm hearing
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: a lot and reading a lot of the Patriots are
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: done until they don't rattle off seven of eight. Do
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: you remember a couple of years ago when they got
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: beat in Kansas City on a Sunday night. There's something
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: ridiculous like forty seven to thirteen, and everyone said, no, no,
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: they're done. Yeah, they won the Super Bowl that year.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: They they Usually it's usually not too though. It's usually
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: not a double where you're down double digits. I get
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: what people are saying. What they're saying, this is a
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: taller task. When they face a four. It's usually okay,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: they have one game, everybody's panicing and they and they
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: rattle off a bunch. To be one and two and
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: to have been down double diges both games, this is different.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: But again I'll believe they don't do it when they
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: don't do it, all right, And back to Minnesota, where
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: we have said panic would be the order of the day. Um,
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: there's a huge loss for them, A big, big win
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: because the Bills became the first team that was a
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: seventeen point underdog to win since December third, when the
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: Redskins upset the Cowboys, and in the Super Bowl era.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Take what you want from the oddsmakers, but the seventeen
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: point favorites were one and fourteen in the Super Bowl era.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: So that's a big win, the first one in twenty
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: three seasons for the UH for the seventeen point underdog,
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: and just the thing that stunned me was you have
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback going to face that defense in Minnesota
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: against an eighty four million dollar quarterback that has all
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: kinds of weapons. We saw them when we were there
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: in August, and who would have thought. At some point
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: I looked up at the board, that is that right?
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: Twenty seven nothing buffalo, oh and too desperate with a
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. I'm not shocked that the Bills won, because
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: I guess I've been coming to the NFL long enough
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: where I'm never really shocked anybody loses. I am shocked
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: that they beat him. It was so one sided, side fast.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Usually with that you expect miracle, some sort of overtime
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: for flaky thing. It's rare to get run out of
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: the building like that. Um, they look the shock factors
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: in the score alone. I mean, Josh Allen ran for
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns and through for one. That's enough to pull
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: an upset, no doubt, that's enough to pull it. And
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: again covered this sleep for twenty years. I've seen it too.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: But that Buffalo team that traded away so many key
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: pieces looking for you know, manageable situations to rebuild their
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: roster over the next two years to do that to
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: that Vikings team in their home and by the way,
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: the Vikings, you know, blew it in overtime. They were
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: little angry from the week before against the Packers, and
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: yet they came in and totally just laid the egg.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: It's interesting if you look. I was just I was
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: starting the beginning of the power rankings, and it it's
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: tough to find teams that and I was gonna be
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars way way down. But it's tough to find
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: teams that Merritt being way way up because there's only
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: four unbeaten teams and you've got some teams that you
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: think are good, they are all of a sudden one
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: one and one oh one and one. So it's a
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: always interesting. You never really you always think you know
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: early in the season teams that are good. You never
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: really know in this league until about week five who's
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: really good and who's not because people want to grab
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: onto trends after two weeks. There are no trans in
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: the NFL after two weeks. Well on Wednesday, when you're back.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about power rankings. They'll be out all right,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: I'll be here. Good look forward to John. Have a
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: good day. You too. Actually, YouTube Joe YouTube, Max, you too.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: Everybody who's watching Jaguars are two and one gets set
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: for with the Jets and we'll talk about that the
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: rest of the week. Thanks for joining us on Jags
