- 1:18Speaker 1: back of the practice field today, getting ready for this
- 1:20Speaker 1: week's sevent team matchup against the Houston Texans. Beautiful day
- 1:24Speaker 1: for football, you're in Jacksonville. Blake Bortles back is the
- 1:27Speaker 1: starting quarterback, took the starting reps today. He said he
- 1:31Speaker 1: came in last week in relief of Cody Kessler. Of course,
- 1:34Speaker 1: a lot of focus on the offensive line this week
- 1:37Speaker 1: as well. It's a tough matchup against the Texans front seven. J. J.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Watts fourteen and a half sacks, Todave and Clowney can
- 1:44Speaker 1: move around all over that defense. He has nine sacks himself.
- 1:48Speaker 1: McKenny the leading tackler. They got a lot of guys
- 1:51Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball and a big
- 1:53Speaker 1: reason for the change for Doug Marone. Well, here's part
- 1:56Speaker 1: of the reason. He said this morning, we're gonna start
- 2:00Speaker 1: Lake this week. I talked to both those guys. We
- 2:02Speaker 1: just feel like his mobility. We'll give us um a
- 2:06Speaker 1: better chance, you know, against obviously a very tough team,
- 2:10Speaker 1: a team that's you know we're gonna go into and
- 2:12Speaker 1: it's a playoff atmosphere for him. You know, they win
- 2:16Speaker 1: the game, they get the the ANFC South title and
- 2:19Speaker 1: you know, home field playoff game and they still can
- 2:22Speaker 1: you know, get to buy you know, so it'll be
- 2:25Speaker 1: it'll be a tough atmosphere. See Blake Bortles what he's
- 2:29Speaker 1: done this season last week filled in five for six, passing,
- 2:33Speaker 1: ran the ball, a good bit, let a field goal drive.
- 2:36Speaker 1: So Blake Bortles going in the final game of this season,
- 2:40Speaker 1: the questions will be will this be his final game
- 2:42Speaker 1: in a Jack's uniform? But in terms of this week,
- 2:47Speaker 1: what do you think of the decision? No choice? Had
- 2:50Speaker 1: to do it. Yeah, I mean it's It's not often
- 2:54Speaker 1: in the NFL where a matchup and a pregame theme
- 2:58Speaker 1: is so overwhelming obvious that you are forced to do
- 3:06Speaker 1: something make you stop a Cody Kessler last week was
- 3:10Speaker 1: sacked five times. Uh, Blake was sacked once. That in
- 3:16Speaker 1: at a time where he was just sort of thrown
- 3:18Speaker 1: into the game. So in since Cody Kesler was sack
- 3:20Speaker 1: six times six holding penalties could have had more sacks
- 3:25Speaker 1: if if Kesler hadn't been avoiding it. There you never
- 3:30Speaker 1: say never in the NFL. There was no way the
- 3:32Speaker 1: Jaguars could beat the Texans on Sunday if Kesler was
- 3:36Speaker 1: playing quarterback, if the whole package of protection and Kessler
- 3:42Speaker 1: in the pocket looked like it did against Miami. Um.
- 3:48Speaker 1: So Doug said on Sunday that he basically pulled uh
- 3:57Speaker 1: Kessler because he had to. Well, if that's what he
- 4:01Speaker 1: thought Sunday against Miami, I think about how he thought
- 4:06Speaker 1: if he was trying to game plan for that against
- 4:08Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. So beyond the fact that Bordles has looked,
- 4:17Speaker 1: most people who thought it would say Borders is clearly
- 4:19Speaker 1: the better player. Beyond even that, the fact that Kessler
- 4:24Speaker 1: was getting rid of the balls so slowly was looking
- 4:27Speaker 1: I guess lost in the pocket. I don't think you
- 4:31Speaker 1: had any choice but to make this move. For Blake
- 4:33Speaker 1: Bordles this perspective, he's fired up to get back out
- 4:37Speaker 1: of the field as a football player. I mean, it
- 4:40Speaker 1: feels good any time to play football and they let
- 4:42Speaker 1: you play. Um you know, I know for me, at least,
- 4:44Speaker 1: I enjoyed the hell out of getting u to come
- 4:46Speaker 1: to work every day and practice with these guys. You know,
- 4:48Speaker 1: it's it's our last week, our last opportunity to play
- 4:50Speaker 1: a game together. UM, as this team. Nobody knows what's
- 4:52Speaker 1: gonna happen Yester next year. So you know, I think
- 4:55Speaker 1: most importantly just enjoying this. Um. You know, it's obviously
- 4:58Speaker 1: not not the year the and everybody expected or wish
- 5:02Speaker 1: um you know, would have happened. But we get one
- 5:04Speaker 1: more opportunity, UM, and we're gonna make the best of it.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Like portals off the bench last week, of course, in
- 5:10Speaker 1: an emergency situation with the injury to Kessler, but now
- 5:13Speaker 1: he's gonna get another start. Well, the Jack's here, he's
- 5:16Speaker 1: fired up to do it. And you know, I think
- 5:19Speaker 1: the Jack's fan bases the whole loves his personality, loves
- 5:22Speaker 1: the guy. Man. I love what's happened on the field
- 5:25Speaker 1: with him. But that kind of answer right there, he
- 5:28Speaker 1: just enjoys the hell out of getting out there and
- 5:29Speaker 1: playing quarterback. Yeah. And you mentioned before the first topic,
- 5:34Speaker 1: you don't know what the future holds for Blake, And
- 5:36Speaker 1: you know, I get that it's gonna be a topic
- 5:39Speaker 1: all week. It's gonna a topic rap to the game.
- 5:40Speaker 1: You're gonna talk about during the game of the broadcast,
- 5:43Speaker 1: and then after what happens with Blake's future I think
- 5:46Speaker 1: sometimes when you're following an NFL season, it uh, because
- 5:51Speaker 1: we talk about every game, and we talked so much
- 5:55Speaker 1: every day that it's easy to forget that decisions are
- 6:00Speaker 1: made over the long term and not the short term.
- 6:04Speaker 1: I don't think how Blake plays on Sunday, or how
- 6:07Speaker 1: he played the other day, or what's being said this
- 6:09Speaker 1: week has that much to do with the big picture
- 6:13Speaker 1: decision on him going forward. There are five years worth
- 6:17Speaker 1: of tape, feelings, um act and play with him that
- 6:25Speaker 1: I'm get a lot of emails this week, well could
- 6:28Speaker 1: you restructure him? Could they do this? Or even getting
- 6:30Speaker 1: some well if he plays well Sunday, could that change
- 6:34Speaker 1: the narrative. It's seventy games at this point, eight including playoffs,
- 6:39Speaker 1: seventy eight, so I don't think one game in a
- 6:42Speaker 1: meaningless game behind this makeshift offensive line is going to
- 6:46Speaker 1: have that much to do with it. I'd still say
- 6:48Speaker 1: it's nine chance he's gone next year. I just say
- 6:51Speaker 1: that based on the feeling. Uh. As I said often
- 6:55Speaker 1: this week, I think there's some meeting to be taken
- 6:57Speaker 1: place next week when a lot of things getting hammered out.
- 6:59Speaker 1: But think the feeling going into next week is that
- 7:02Speaker 1: he won't be back. This is the Swan song. Um.
- 7:05Speaker 1: But to your point, I think you're right. I think
- 7:08Speaker 1: a lot of Jaguars fans would really like to see
- 7:12Speaker 1: him go out on top, on top, but go out
- 7:15Speaker 1: a winner. And what a strange dynamic it is in
- 7:20Speaker 1: a sense, because there are fans who on some level
- 7:24Speaker 1: can't wait to see him gone because fairly or unfairly,
- 7:28Speaker 1: so much of what has gone wrong has been attached
- 7:31Speaker 1: to him. And yet they want so badly to cheer
- 7:35Speaker 1: for the guy because he's such a great guy. And
- 7:37Speaker 1: there's there's, uh, there's this connection. By the way, don't
- 7:42Speaker 1: tell my niece Carson that he's not a Hall of Famer.
- 7:46Speaker 1: I mean, there are fans in town and it's not
- 7:50Speaker 1: the hardcore for ones, but he is such a likable
- 7:53Speaker 1: guy that she'll fight you. He's out in about the community.
- 7:59Speaker 1: She will throw down if you tell her that Blake's
- 8:02Speaker 1: not a fantastic player. So there's a lot of allegiance,
- 8:06Speaker 1: and not just from Carson. So it gets the start
- 8:07Speaker 1: this week against the Houston Texans, and it's a Texans
- 8:10Speaker 1: team that with a win, secures the a f C South.
- 8:13Speaker 1: They could be anywhere from having a buy in the
- 8:16Speaker 1: playoffs to the number six seed in the playoffs depending
- 8:20Speaker 1: on the outcome of this game and the other games
- 8:22Speaker 1: around them. Calais Campbell and the Jaguars defense trying to
- 8:25Speaker 1: spoil the party in Houston this Sunday, you know, I mean,
- 8:28Speaker 1: this is a great opponent, you know, and they're playing
- 8:30Speaker 1: to win a division and I don't I don't like that,
- 8:33Speaker 1: you know, none of my watch. You know. If we
- 8:34Speaker 1: can do anything about it, we will. So the mentality
- 8:36Speaker 1: is just a finn and strong a f C playoff picture.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Take a look. Only the Titans and Steelers are still
- 8:43Speaker 1: officially in the hunt. Boy, the Steelers that game the
- 8:47Speaker 1: other night, they had a chance against the Saints and
- 8:49Speaker 1: then blew it with a fake punt and all that stuff.
- 8:52Speaker 1: The Titans and the Colts play on the game two
- 8:56Speaker 1: fifty six, the final game of the season, and if
- 8:59Speaker 1: the Jags knock off the Texans, than the winner of
- 9:02Speaker 1: that game would be the AFC South champion and the
- 9:05Speaker 1: Texans would be the sixth seed. And um, that's how
- 9:08Speaker 1: much this thing can shift in the final week of
- 9:10Speaker 1: the season. It's pretty crazy. It comes down to the
- 9:12Speaker 1: final week. Yeah, and uh, the Texans are still when
- 9:18Speaker 1: they go into that game, they'll still have a shot
- 9:20Speaker 1: at bye, which is important to him, but I think
- 9:24Speaker 1: more important for them. They're playing to not have to
- 9:28Speaker 1: go on the road. And uh, they've been such a
- 9:33Speaker 1: weird team up and down. They're the hottest team in
- 9:36Speaker 1: the NFL for a while, and all of a sudden
- 9:37Speaker 1: they're really not. So as much as anything, they need
- 9:42Speaker 1: this game to go in with a little momentum, go
- 9:46Speaker 1: into where they're not playing on the road. Uh, They're
- 9:50Speaker 1: a team with their defense that could go win on
- 9:52Speaker 1: the road, but their motivation will be as such that
- 9:57Speaker 1: I think this turns into a really difficult matchup on
- 9:59Speaker 1: so many leve us for the Jags. They overcame that
- 10:02Speaker 1: sort of thing last week against the Dolphins, but doing
- 10:06Speaker 1: it against the Texans is a significantly different task, especially
- 10:09Speaker 1: in the last game of the season. It's gonna be
- 10:13Speaker 1: a if they win this one, the Jags, Um, I
- 10:17Speaker 1: don't say I'll eat my hat, but probably they don't
- 10:20Speaker 1: have a hat. We can find what if it happens,
- 10:24Speaker 1: that would be a heck of a win for the Jaguars.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Team on the road, tough en firemen all that. Well,
- 10:31Speaker 1: The whole shebang. We won't even do an extra show
- 10:33Speaker 1: next week just so you can do that would come
- 10:34Speaker 1: back into why not why not the whole thing? He's
- 10:37Speaker 1: coming up a little bit later. By the way. The
- 10:39Speaker 1: defense for the Texans. JJ Watt is leading the way
- 10:42Speaker 1: here fourteen and a half sacks and when the guys
- 10:44Speaker 1: when he was done, yes, and that wasn't that long ago,
- 10:47Speaker 1: and he has come back with a fantastic season and
- 10:51Speaker 1: all the haters and doubters are quiet right now. Yeah,
- 10:54Speaker 1: I mean, and as Doug said today, he's uh asked
- 10:58Speaker 1: about j J. Why said waste playing like like a
- 11:00Speaker 1: player of your candidate, which when he's healthy, that's what
- 11:03Speaker 1: he is. He's playing like the best defensive player in football. Apologies.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Darren Donald is probably one of those two. Uh. He's back,
- 11:12Speaker 1: he's dangerous. He he can wreck a game. And right
- 11:17Speaker 1: now the Jay Ward's offensive line is at the point
- 11:19Speaker 1: where you're praying that Josh Wells can come back and
- 11:24Speaker 1: save you. Well, who is who is playing well? But
- 11:27Speaker 1: he's a backup tackle and that's your hope. So it's
- 11:31Speaker 1: uh again, There's rarely matchups that are so overwhelming in
- 11:38Speaker 1: one team's favor, but if the Jaguars can hold the
- 11:41Speaker 1: Texans to three or four sacks be a major accomplishment.
- 11:45Speaker 1: If if they can keep things upright and not have
- 11:48Speaker 1: these guys wrecked the game. Uh, I think you still
- 11:51Speaker 1: need a defensive touchdowns something quirky, but you need to
- 11:55Speaker 1: get these guys blocks that you can function and not
- 11:58Speaker 1: just what obviously Clowney another guy who can line up
- 12:02Speaker 1: all over the defensive formation and come from anywhere. That's
- 12:05Speaker 1: the trick of these guys. It's not like they're lining
- 12:07Speaker 1: up on the left end and right end and every
- 12:09Speaker 1: down just coming at you. Especially for Clowney. He can
- 12:12Speaker 1: line up as a linebacker, he can go on the line,
- 12:14Speaker 1: he can go interior, and he can wreck a ball
- 12:18Speaker 1: game as well if if you let him. They're really good.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Yes they are. Yeah, And I mean they're so good
- 12:25Speaker 1: and so dynamic and versatile up front that it's uh again,
- 12:33Speaker 1: you've got an offensive line in the Jaguars. It's playing
- 12:36Speaker 1: one starter from at the beginning of the season and
- 12:39Speaker 1: he's been playing on one leg. So uh, it's gonna
- 12:43Speaker 1: be Perhaps the most monumental task is offensive line is
- 12:47Speaker 1: face in his offense has faced this season. Offensive side
- 12:51Speaker 1: of the ball. For the Houston Texans, DeShawn Watson is
- 12:54Speaker 1: the most sacked quarterback in football, but he has that
- 12:58Speaker 1: ability to run around, and if you ask the folks
- 13:01Speaker 1: in Houston, you know he might run around and take
- 13:03Speaker 1: a few too many hits on his own, but he
- 13:05Speaker 1: has the ability to make plays and he can throw
- 13:07Speaker 1: it up to playmakers down the field like Hopkins. That
- 13:09Speaker 1: helps matters when you have a guy like that on
- 13:11Speaker 1: the outside of throw too well. The whole key in
- 13:12Speaker 1: this thing is the Jaguars, as as overmatched as they
- 13:18Speaker 1: seem to be offensively versus the Texans defense. The one
- 13:23Speaker 1: wild card is is if somehow the offense can get
- 13:25Speaker 1: a lead, If somehow you can get up on these
- 13:27Speaker 1: guys and force the Texans into offensive situations that they
- 13:31Speaker 1: don't like, they are a team that will give up sacks.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Uh And when you give up sacks, you are prone
- 13:38Speaker 1: to turnovers. You're prone to the defensive touchdown, as the
- 13:40Speaker 1: Jaguars got against them last year. The if you can
- 13:44Speaker 1: somehow get on even footing or get up that's something
- 13:48Speaker 1: you can turn to your advantage. The tricky part for
- 13:51Speaker 1: the Jaguars is figuring out a way to get it
- 13:53Speaker 1: points to make them one dimensional. And that's where it's
- 13:58Speaker 1: hard to see the jag Wars accomplishing what they want
- 14:03Speaker 1: to this week because that part of it is so hard.
- 14:06Speaker 1: But if they get the lead, there's no reason. The
- 14:08Speaker 1: Jaguars defense right now, the way they're playing, I can't
- 14:13Speaker 1: get the textans a lot of problems. I just question
- 14:15Speaker 1: whether or not they can get any situation to do that.
- 14:17Speaker 1: That's been their Accillis hill all year. The Jaguars defense
- 14:20Speaker 1: is when they can't get in those situations, they have
- 14:22Speaker 1: been able to force the turnovers and penalties they made
- 14:24Speaker 1: this so dangerous last year. We're seeing Hopkins here on
- 14:27Speaker 1: our screen and get another Rams and Hopkins matchup. That's
- 14:30Speaker 1: always must see TV, no matter the situation of the
- 14:34Speaker 1: football game. Those two guys going at it all day.
- 14:36Speaker 1: As far yeah, we watching it. Wud be awesome watching
- 14:38Speaker 1: Down push Jalen all that push them around. I mean,
- 14:44Speaker 1: he uses it. He uses physicality and his body better
- 14:47Speaker 1: than maybe it's in the league right now. Michael Irvin
- 14:49Speaker 1: used to do it. If you get away with it,
- 14:51Speaker 1: it ain't cheat. But he pushes it at the top
- 14:54Speaker 1: of the round as much as anybody I've seen in
- 14:55Speaker 1: five or six years, and good for him because he's
- 14:58Speaker 1: an unbelievably good player. But if if they call that
- 15:04Speaker 1: and if you combat that, he's a lot more defendable.
- 15:07Speaker 1: And I think that's why Jalen has been able to,
- 15:10Speaker 1: if not get the best of him, negate him a
- 15:12Speaker 1: lot because he can match up with that. Of course,
- 15:15Speaker 1: these teams met earlier in the season twenty seven to
- 15:18Speaker 1: win for the Houston Texans. That was a strange day
- 15:21Speaker 1: here t I a a bank field where Blake Bortles
- 15:25Speaker 1: fumbled the ball away a couple of times. Kessler came
- 15:28Speaker 1: in and relief in that game, if you'll remember, and
- 15:31Speaker 1: was thirty passing for only a hundred and fifty six yards,
- 15:34Speaker 1: a lot of short passes that day. I touched down
- 15:36Speaker 1: a pick for Kessler in relief. The Jags offense just
- 15:39Speaker 1: couldn't find any any momentum at all that day. But
- 15:42Speaker 1: that was the game where Doug really had to get
- 15:44Speaker 1: Blake out. He had stressed all week. Remember, don't turn
- 15:47Speaker 1: the ball over, no mistakes, we can stay in this
- 15:50Speaker 1: and probably two of Blake's worst plays of the year,
- 15:54Speaker 1: just sort of being careless, trying to make something happen
- 15:58Speaker 1: and fumbled in memory Thursday were both deep and Jaguars
- 16:03Speaker 1: horatory led directly to points. So it got to the
- 16:06Speaker 1: point where Doug I think he had no choice but
- 16:08Speaker 1: to make that move, and uh did And then later
- 16:14Speaker 1: in the season made the move more apparently away from Blake.
- 16:16Speaker 1: And now we're back to square one. Here we are.
- 16:18Speaker 1: He's coming back from the dead like a cockright. Just
- 16:21Speaker 1: can't just can't kill Blake. Bortles gets the start Sunday
- 16:24Speaker 1: in place those Houston Texans. We'll come back in a
- 16:27Speaker 1: moment and see what Blake Bortles and company will wear

- 18:39Speaker 1: Group on a Wednesday. That music each Wednesday throughout this
- 18:43Speaker 1: season has when it's time for Jimmy Luck had equipment
- 18:45Speaker 1: manager and is no different today for the final time. Jimmy, Yeah,
- 18:51Speaker 1: I'm not sure how to feel about that. I know
- 18:53Speaker 1: it's mixed emotions. You're not the only one with mixed emotions.
- 18:56Speaker 1: You can just hang out, ok, Yeah, I can make
- 18:59Speaker 1: an apparent next Wednesday, all off season Wednesday. What just
- 19:03Speaker 1: come in here and hang out and talk for a while,
- 19:04Speaker 1: all right, I can do that. Sounds like a plan.
- 19:07Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to do it every Wednesday,
- 19:09Speaker 1: like next Wednesday. Maybe I want off Wednesday and then
- 19:14Speaker 1: maybe the Wednesday after, or maybe we'll go Monday after
- 19:17Speaker 1: that we can work it in. How was the holiday
- 19:21Speaker 1: for you? It was good. Did you come into the office.
- 19:24Speaker 1: I did for a little bit, not very long. I
- 19:26Speaker 1: just came into a little bit of laundry and then
- 19:28Speaker 1: headed it back out. So it was good. Every all
- 19:33Speaker 1: my guys were off. We had some guys came in
- 19:35Speaker 1: to get treatment, so I just kind of came in
- 19:37Speaker 1: and cleaned up after that. It's nice, good day off
- 19:39Speaker 1: for your crew. Yeah, I got sleep in. That was nice.
- 19:42Speaker 1: To a couple of naps. That's pretty good day when
- 19:45Speaker 1: you came in yesterday, was anybody on this side of
- 19:48Speaker 1: the building, so it's like today I was here. Okay,
- 19:55Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, there was a couple. There's a lot
- 19:57Speaker 1: like today, there's a couple. Um so, hey, guess what
- 20:01Speaker 1: uniform tracker. We've got another Jimmy Luck photo on there,
- 20:04Speaker 1: because there it was a double last week. Look at
- 20:08Speaker 1: that Jimmy Luck with a couple of wins in the
- 20:12Speaker 1: back half of the season. They're well done. Um black,
- 20:15Speaker 1: white over black apparently pretty good. Um well, it was
- 20:19Speaker 1: a combination last week that got the win. That's the
- 20:21Speaker 1: only time that's that's the only combination that's gotten a
- 20:24Speaker 1: win since uh week four. You notice like black, white, white, black,
- 20:28Speaker 1: some some kind of combination that so I assume we're
- 20:31Speaker 1: going white black this week. It's some combination. I mean, yeah,
- 20:34Speaker 1: we we could in theory. Where were you there today
- 20:40Speaker 1: when I'm picking the South, I was where everybody else
- 20:45Speaker 1: was right here, I was out. Yeah, that's like took
- 20:47Speaker 1: an office poll. Nobody was here. So my vote counting
- 20:50Speaker 1: the number one vote. Hey, let's figure out what that
- 20:53Speaker 1: vote was. Then, what will the Jaguars wear this Sunday
- 20:57Speaker 1: against the Houston Texans an NRG Stadium. Well, it's on
- 21:01Speaker 1: the road. We're going with the white, okay white on
- 21:04Speaker 1: the road, going back to play his former team one
- 21:07Speaker 1: more time. And then um, yeah, we gotta ride the
- 21:11Speaker 1: hot hand here. We got back with the black pant,
- 21:13Speaker 1: black pants, white over black. It was a winner last
- 21:16Speaker 1: week in Miami, and let's hope it the winner again
- 21:19Speaker 1: this week in Houston against those hated Houston Texans. Guaranteeing
- 21:23Speaker 1: it was that a lock. No, I did not say
- 21:26Speaker 1: that we're going to wear white pants. Okay, white on
- 21:32Speaker 1: Black's the white the lock this week in Houston. So
- 21:36Speaker 1: they have it lead pipe block of the week. It
- 21:39Speaker 1: is so since our last time having you, you know
- 21:42Speaker 1: what happens when the season's done, when you guys get
- 21:44Speaker 1: back from Houston, when you just break down lockers, what
- 21:47Speaker 1: happens with the whole Like day or two after Monday
- 21:51Speaker 1: is kind of the big check out day. Um, you know,
- 21:54Speaker 1: go with a lot of formalities. Make sure we got
- 21:56Speaker 1: every buy his address and phone numbers, and that's more
- 21:59Speaker 1: for contra people. Um, we'll get the guys to try
- 22:02Speaker 1: to clean their lockers out a little bit. Um we
- 22:06Speaker 1: do have we'll give each one of the players, will
- 22:08Speaker 1: give them if they were here, they'll get a jersey
- 22:11Speaker 1: for each color. Like some of the practice squad guys
- 22:13Speaker 1: we just signed, they'll only get the white one because
- 22:15Speaker 1: they were only here for that. But if you've been
- 22:17Speaker 1: pretty much here all year, you'll get a black one
- 22:19Speaker 1: and a white one and a til one. So that yeah,
- 22:22Speaker 1: they get a chance. Yeah, because I like a lot
- 22:24Speaker 1: of those guys will trade them throughout the year and
- 22:25Speaker 1: we'll we charge them for that. But after this one,
- 22:28Speaker 1: we we give them one's so will it be in
- 22:31Speaker 1: the new uniform to everybody's kind of fired up about that?
- 22:33Speaker 1: That very nice. What will you get to disappear for
- 22:37Speaker 1: a little while? Um, well, Monday will be a shorter day.
- 22:40Speaker 1: Obviously they've got the bowl game that night. Players will
- 22:43Speaker 1: get out of here pretty quick on Monday and then
- 22:46Speaker 1: we'll kind of start straightening up, you know, Tuesday, Wednesday
- 22:49Speaker 1: maybe and then um maybe try to sneak out of
- 22:52Speaker 1: here on Thursday Friday. And is there anything um eerier
- 22:58Speaker 1: then those first couple of days when the locker rooms
- 23:05Speaker 1: clean in the off season and when you're walking through
- 23:07Speaker 1: there at like two o'clock in the afternoon and it's empty.
- 23:11Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's eerie. After this long season, there's
- 23:15Speaker 1: probably a pretty nice well. But I've always thought it's
- 23:17Speaker 1: bizarre how fast it ends. No, yeah, you're right, it's
- 23:22Speaker 1: a den back there for you guys. They're in and out.
- 23:24Speaker 1: It's loud, and I said, literally forty eight hours, have
- 23:27Speaker 1: seasons over with it. It is dead quiet, and it's
- 23:30Speaker 1: like it never happened. I always wondering for you guys
- 23:33Speaker 1: just walking through back there. It's always strange. But I
- 23:36Speaker 1: guess for you guys you're saying it's nice, Well, it's not.
- 23:39Speaker 1: I mean anytime there's no if it wasn't for them,
- 23:45Speaker 1: I wouldn't be here. Um, But no, it's I mean
- 23:48Speaker 1: it's nice after you know, going through basically twenty six
- 23:51Speaker 1: weeks of football here. Um, and like when you you know,
- 23:54Speaker 1: even when you go to the playoffs, it's like, boom,
- 23:56Speaker 1: we won. I can row it up one more sure,
- 23:59Speaker 1: you know, and just kind of keep going and going
- 24:01Speaker 1: and going, and then when it's over, you're like, all right,
- 24:04Speaker 1: is it? I mean, it's it's the season as a
- 24:05Speaker 1: grind for everyone. I mean, whether it's us trainers, coaches, players,
- 24:10Speaker 1: it's it's not a short season, no doubt. Well done,
- 24:14Speaker 1: white over black this week in Week seventeen for the
- 24:16Speaker 1: Jaguars in Houston, let's get a w and ruin the
- 24:19Speaker 1: Texans seating. How about that? I know he would for

- 26:57Speaker 1: And those guys don't get out and about and do
- 26:59Speaker 1: this kind of stuff a lot, so it's good to
- 27:01Speaker 1: say I don't want him to you want him back

- 27:18Speaker 1: to our deep tracks. This is where this is the
- 27:20Speaker 1: point of every Wednesday show where we pick a deep track,
- 27:23Speaker 1: So we go deep down the album not a hit
- 27:25Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes maybe, but we pick a deeper track and
- 27:30Speaker 1: then we go deeper down the depth chart of the
- 27:32Speaker 1: you know whatever and find a match up a player
- 27:34Speaker 1: to watch for the coming game, so we're gonna do
- 27:38Speaker 1: that for the final time today, m get a good run.
- 27:41Speaker 1: Let's start off with your deep track song today, John,
- 27:43Speaker 1: I went with Brand New Day by Van Morrison. And
- 27:49Speaker 1: this might be cheating a little bit. I ain't a
- 27:52Speaker 1: lout of people who follow a classic rock that era
- 27:56Speaker 1: probably know this song. Yeah, it's not really deep, yeah,
- 27:59Speaker 1: but it's at because the album was such a hit. Yeah.
- 28:01Speaker 1: I mean it's one of those iconic albums where if
- 28:04Speaker 1: you if you follow Van Morrison, you know everybody on
- 28:07Speaker 1: this album. But it's, uh, it's deeper than say Moon Dance,
- 28:13Speaker 1: because that's you know, like it's a marvelous night for
- 28:16Speaker 1: a moon name. But it's a it felt right, it
- 28:19Speaker 1: felt like after the Miami game, things that turn around
- 28:22Speaker 1: a little bit. You're looking forward to the next offseason
- 28:25Speaker 1: or the next season. So in a sense, it's a
- 28:28Speaker 1: brand New Day. Wow, very poetic. Thank you, John M.
- 28:33Speaker 1: Van Morrison. That's enough of that, but a great song, Okay,
- 28:43Speaker 1: song is in. How about your players for this week? John?
- 28:46Speaker 1: Uh Patrick omamay and you could have picked anybody on
- 28:49Speaker 1: the offensive line because it seems like they're all back
- 28:52Speaker 1: up uh and they're all deep tracks and that how
- 28:57Speaker 1: much deeper can you get from a guy who wasn't
- 28:59Speaker 1: on the seat on the team at the beginning of
- 29:00Speaker 1: the season. And they're all up against it. I mean
- 29:03Speaker 1: it's it's uh, Eric Flowers on one side and Mommy
- 29:06Speaker 1: on the other. You've got Shotley, You've got Chris Read.
- 29:08Speaker 1: All of these guys have to come up big just
- 29:13Speaker 1: for the offense to remotely function and not turn the
- 29:16Speaker 1: ball over on Sunday. So, uh, Herry, Mommy deep track
- 29:21Speaker 1: and has his work cut out for him? Is he? Yes?
- 29:24Speaker 1: He does, no matter where on the line he is,
- 29:26Speaker 1: by the way, because those guys can move around a
- 29:28Speaker 1: little bit. Of course, you see there he started a guard,
- 29:30Speaker 1: finished the tackle last week. Defensively, you've got our co
- 29:34Speaker 1: host coming up. Yeah, and he uh, he's he's become
- 29:39Speaker 1: a deeper track than he wanted to be at the
- 29:41Speaker 1: beginning of the season because he's not starting. Had a
- 29:44Speaker 1: sack last week. And you get the idea in this
- 29:49Speaker 1: last game of the season that if the Jaguars have
- 29:53Speaker 1: a shot, their shot is to maybe get a lead
- 29:56Speaker 1: early and maybe have a chance to create some prey
- 30:00Speaker 1: shure up front. If you get a lead early and
- 30:02Speaker 1: then you get a sack fumble, all of a sudden
- 30:03Speaker 1: you're up by a couple of scores, which sounds ridiculous,
- 30:07Speaker 1: but it can happen. But if it's gonna happen, it's
- 30:10Speaker 1: gonna happen in that way. I think. I don't think
- 30:11Speaker 1: they're gonna get offensive points to the tune of one
- 30:15Speaker 1: or twenty four, But can the defense create points? Is
- 30:20Speaker 1: Malik capable of getting a couple of sacks in a game?
- 30:23Speaker 1: And he absolutely is, So he's my deep tractors. All right,
- 30:25Speaker 1: your deep tracks are in Van Morrison, Patrick Obama, and
- 30:28Speaker 1: Malik Jackson set as a brand new day. Let's get
- 30:39Speaker 1: to mind quickly. Well, I'm Milick Jackson coming up shortly,
- 30:42Speaker 1: by the way, Jared Wilson will join us. I'm gonna
- 30:44Speaker 1: go Wilson Pikett. We're going way back to this is
- 30:48Speaker 1: before he was really start and had been hits. Let's
- 30:54Speaker 1: just call it down to my last heartbreak. Yeah, well,
- 31:20Speaker 1: I mean you go negative all the time, John, A
- 31:23Speaker 1: lot of times positive guys. See I see the world through,
- 31:27Speaker 1: Yes you do. Um, there's my deep track song today.
- 31:30Speaker 1: Let's go players this week? And you mentioned the offensive
- 31:33Speaker 1: line Eric Flowers for me left tackle, and you know
- 31:38Speaker 1: the matchup this week with that defensive front seven for
- 31:41Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. He's got to have a better day
- 31:45Speaker 1: and it starts there in the left tackle position. Eric
- 31:48Speaker 1: Flowers one of those for me, a guy who you
- 31:50Speaker 1: know with the mommy. They're both on the Giants to
- 31:53Speaker 1: start the year. We know the story by now. He
- 31:56Speaker 1: came here with all the injuries at left tackle, and
- 31:59Speaker 1: that's a big match up this week for that offensive line.
- 32:01Speaker 1: And as you said, we could pick anybody across that
- 32:03Speaker 1: front five this week, I believe. Defensively, for me, it's
- 32:06Speaker 1: unique in Gockway and you know, this seems like a game.
- 32:11Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson's gonna try to move around a lot. Then
- 32:14Speaker 1: you got to kind of keep him contained and get
- 32:15Speaker 1: in the pocket and get to him. He's the most
- 32:17Speaker 1: sacked quarterback in football. So unique and Goquay needs to
- 32:21Speaker 1: eat this week. Yeah, I'm certain Malik will talk about
- 32:24Speaker 1: this too, but Klai has talked about it in the
- 32:27Speaker 1: locker room. The key is stopping the run so that
- 32:30Speaker 1: you can force these guys to throw, because if you
- 32:32Speaker 1: force them to throw, they'll give up pressure. So it's
- 32:35Speaker 1: a two part equation. Which it often is for the
- 32:36Speaker 1: defensive line. But if they can, uh, Jaguars pass rush
- 32:40Speaker 1: can make things happen this week, so it's uh, I
- 32:43Speaker 1: would I wouldn't be surprised to see repeat it last week.
- 32:46Speaker 1: We're all three of of their really good pass rushers
- 32:50Speaker 1: up front and get sacks. And if that could happen,
- 32:52Speaker 1: you never know. Alright, deep tracks are in Wilson Picking,
- 32:56Speaker 1: Eric Flowers and Unique and got Way. Yeah. Alright, Um,
- 33:08Speaker 1: let's hope it's not a heartbreak this week. I want
- 33:11Speaker 1: a brand new day. So let's just let's give the
- 33:13Speaker 1: Texans a heartbreak with a loss in their final season.
- 33:18Speaker 1: Thank you, We'll come back. Black Jackson joins us for

- 36:02Speaker 1: last one starting strong safety. Now I'm getting an opportunity
- 36:07Speaker 1: to getting that starting role the last couple of weeks
- 36:10Speaker 1: of the season. Yeah, you're excited to get it out there.
- 36:12Speaker 1: I'm sure right, absolutely absolutely, Um distankful, Uh, definitely, Uh,
- 36:18Speaker 1: it's been a long time, but definitely I'm just excited
- 36:20Speaker 1: to be out there and put some good take on
- 36:21Speaker 1: these last few games. And how valuable is that in
- 36:25Speaker 1: in your position, because as you know, starting opportunities can
- 36:30Speaker 1: be rare when you're looking for him. How important has
- 36:35Speaker 1: this opportunity been for you? Well, it's been pretty important.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Uh just get out just to get out there these
- 36:41Speaker 1: last few games, and even like, uh, majority of the
- 36:44Speaker 1: Redskins game, I got an opportunity to be out there
- 36:46Speaker 1: majority of the snaps and uh, just to get that tape,
- 36:49Speaker 1: just get that film. It does feel pretty good. And
- 36:52Speaker 1: I been playing special teams since I've been here, but
- 36:54Speaker 1: just to get the opportunity to go out there and
- 36:56Speaker 1: play some defenses been pretty good and I'm just happy
- 36:58Speaker 1: about it. How's the feeling to be a like you said,
- 37:00Speaker 1: play a lot of special teams, but also, uh, you know,
- 37:02Speaker 1: get younger guys in here, you know, from at the
- 37:05Speaker 1: same position, and still keep fighting. You get your opportunity,
- 37:08Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, what was that mindset
- 37:09Speaker 1: early through the season and just seeing that and uh,
- 37:12Speaker 1: just what you do you know how'd you get through it? Man?
- 37:15Speaker 1: It's just a grind every day, you know, So just
- 37:18Speaker 1: every day put my heart hat on coming here and
- 37:20Speaker 1: just go to work. Really wasn't worried about the depth
- 37:24Speaker 1: chart where I would land and it just as long
- 37:26Speaker 1: as I can come in here and contribute to the
- 37:28Speaker 1: team in anyway special teams with my role now trying
- 37:31Speaker 1: to be the best act. Yeah, that's the hard part,
- 37:33Speaker 1: right because there's a depth chart for a reason that
- 37:36Speaker 1: everybody kind of looks at it. But you can't You
- 37:37Speaker 1: guys can't worry about that right now? Do your job, Yeah,
- 37:40Speaker 1: just do your job. I have a role. Everyone has
- 37:43Speaker 1: a role, if it's to be a backup, and it's
- 37:45Speaker 1: to be a backup and court special teams. God, which minds? Was?
- 37:49Speaker 1: So I just came in and tried to be the
- 37:51Speaker 1: best I could be at that. How close to you
- 37:53Speaker 1: guys on the defensive site, How often do you interact
- 37:57Speaker 1: with each other? You two guys every day whatever? Every days?
- 38:02Speaker 1: You don't ignore him walking down the hall. Na, there's
- 38:07Speaker 1: a reality here too that you can't be a really
- 38:10Speaker 1: good defense, a really good unit if if you have
- 38:15Speaker 1: guys and backups which you were to start the season.
- 38:18Speaker 1: If the backups can't go in and play at a
- 38:20Speaker 1: high level, there's gonna be injuries in this league and
- 38:24Speaker 1: a you know, if those guys can't play well, then
- 38:29Speaker 1: you're not going to be the top five defensive league, right. Yeah,
- 38:32Speaker 1: you know it's important and I like to say, you know,
- 38:33Speaker 1: you're only as good as the people, like you said,
- 38:36Speaker 1: backing up your ones, you know, just because when guys
- 38:37Speaker 1: get tired, you need those guys to go in and
- 38:40Speaker 1: it can't stop, you know, the firmness of the defense.
- 38:43Speaker 1: You know, it can't be any week leads when somebody
- 38:44Speaker 1: comes out to get a break, you know. So it's
- 38:46Speaker 1: imperative that we have people that backup that are ready
- 38:49Speaker 1: to play and stay engaged and practice all week like
- 38:51Speaker 1: they're playing and even they don't get the chance to
- 38:53Speaker 1: be ready because you never know when you do get
- 38:55Speaker 1: the chance. Yeah, so, hey, you gotta go this week
- 38:58Speaker 1: down to Houston and beat the Texans, and you know
- 39:03Speaker 1: they win, they win the a f C South. That
- 39:05Speaker 1: they lose, they could be as low as the sixteed.
- 39:08Speaker 1: You gotta go ruin their season, right and ruin their seating.
- 39:11Speaker 1: That's kind of the mindset this way. Oh yeah, I
- 39:13Speaker 1: mean the goal is always to win, um as far
- 39:15Speaker 1: as they them and where they stand, as far as
- 39:17Speaker 1: them winning division or not. I mean, honestly, I could
- 39:20Speaker 1: care less. I just want to go get the W
- 39:22Speaker 1: with our w is gonna trickle down to them not
- 39:26Speaker 1: winning the division or wherever they follow the seating in
- 39:29Speaker 1: the playoffs, But as long as we could w in
- 39:31Speaker 1: the finish the season off strong, That's what I'm about.
- 39:33Speaker 1: That's how I mean that that thing that win last
- 39:35Speaker 1: week was massive for this team, right you guys there
- 39:37Speaker 1: were people writing guys off, they're looking for next year,
- 39:40Speaker 1: this and that. No, not in this locker room. You
- 39:42Speaker 1: guys wanted to go beat those dolf. I just wanted
- 39:44Speaker 1: to keep fighting. And there's no give up on this team.
- 39:46Speaker 1: You know, we take this very important. That's our job.
- 39:48Speaker 1: It's how livelyhood um. You gotta go out on the
- 39:52Speaker 1: show that we care. You know, no matter what anybody says,
- 39:54Speaker 1: we go out here and we fight. So it's important
- 39:56Speaker 1: to us absolutely. What has been and I say difference,
- 40:00Speaker 1: but what has been the key? Uh? Since the Indie
- 40:03Speaker 1: game to shut out the Redsians scored sixteen points. This
- 40:08Speaker 1: team scored US seven, except for that Tennessee game where
- 40:12Speaker 1: we always kind of came off a little bit. But
- 40:14Speaker 1: it would been easy for the defense and the team
- 40:17Speaker 1: before the Indie game just sort of mail it in
- 40:19Speaker 1: to start the Engines already, if you will. Why hasn't
- 40:22Speaker 1: that happened? I think because if you look at us
- 40:25Speaker 1: as on paper standpoint, as far as the defense goes,
- 40:27Speaker 1: we're still a highly read defense. So for us to
- 40:29Speaker 1: kind of just like all right, season's over, it wouldn't
- 40:31Speaker 1: make sense because we're playing fairly well. If you look
- 40:34Speaker 1: at paper, you know that strictly talking paper, you're looking
- 40:35Speaker 1: at her. I think we're top top ten, I know
- 40:37Speaker 1: for sure, top five. So for for me looking at it,
- 40:41Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's what we do, it's who we are.
- 40:44Speaker 1: You know, we our season might I going to the
- 40:46Speaker 1: right way, but once you play as you're gonna know
- 40:48Speaker 1: that you're just playing the top five defense and you
- 40:49Speaker 1: better bring it. Yeah, So it's important. And how good
- 40:53Speaker 1: did that feel for you last weekends? They will take
- 40:56Speaker 1: a breath, Yeah, they'll take a breath. Man. It was
- 40:58Speaker 1: definitely that was like like when you're waiting for like
- 41:01Speaker 1: that uh where you get it? Like finally something off
- 41:05Speaker 1: your shoulders. Yeah, especially because it'll be waiting like eight
- 41:07Speaker 1: nine weeks I think. So for me, it's just something
- 41:10Speaker 1: that especially working hard. I had a few good Russians
- 41:12Speaker 1: and I almost got him a few times, but just
- 41:14Speaker 1: to finally get them down and it was just special.
- 41:17Speaker 1: It was it was nice. It was it was nice.
- 41:18Speaker 1: Everybody congratulating me, came over said, especially everybody knows I'm
- 41:21Speaker 1: going through, so it was one of those things that
- 41:23Speaker 1: everybody's just really happy. So yeah, it was awesome. Final
- 41:27Speaker 1: thought with you, Jared, before you get you out of here,
- 41:28Speaker 1: and we're gonna keep my link a little bit longer
- 41:30Speaker 1: because that's final chance to what else do you want
- 41:33Speaker 1: to show you one more week left in this season?
- 41:36Speaker 1: What what would be an ideal day for you in Houston? Man,
- 41:40Speaker 1: I'm just you just uh get an opportunity to start
- 41:43Speaker 1: once again. So just put good tape out there, man, defensively,
- 41:46Speaker 1: uh the show I can just play and be a
- 41:49Speaker 1: productive safety in this league. I mean I put good
- 41:52Speaker 1: tape out there as far as just like Sparingly coming
- 41:55Speaker 1: in sparing Church get and uh even Ronnie. So just
- 41:59Speaker 1: to go out there and just have a full game
- 42:02Speaker 1: underneath my belt. This to be my third one in
- 42:04Speaker 1: the row, so just just put that good tape out
- 42:06Speaker 1: there and just have a good game and ball out
- 42:09Speaker 1: for the last one, you know, just have a couple
- 42:11Speaker 1: of tackles, definitely trying to get my hand on a
- 42:14Speaker 1: couple of football so just basically just go out there
- 42:20Speaker 1: and have fun. Really, how big of a difference, I'm sorry,
- 42:23Speaker 1: JP to get the consecutive games part, Um, that's a
- 42:27Speaker 1: huge difference in it. Yeah. Yeah, have a chance to
- 42:30Speaker 1: go back and look at tape, see what you're doing well,
- 42:32Speaker 1: try to improve week to week. Big difference thing coming
- 42:34Speaker 1: in and just playing one game and absolutely um, being
- 42:38Speaker 1: able to go back, have a full game underneath your
- 42:41Speaker 1: belt and then go back and then watch the film
- 42:43Speaker 1: and then get that same those same type of reps
- 42:45Speaker 1: and practice the next week is uh, it's a lot different. Um,
- 42:50Speaker 1: I haven't had that. I've always just been sparingly coming
- 42:52Speaker 1: in and out, so my preparation throughout the week is more.
- 42:56Speaker 1: It's always been more mental just watching church and get
- 42:58Speaker 1: make a strom on top of everything. It being in
- 43:00Speaker 1: there getting the reps. It just actually makes me I
- 43:03Speaker 1: feel a lot more comfortable Boing in his Sunday. So
- 43:06Speaker 1: that's exciting. Well, good luck to you, Jared, good to

- 45:04Speaker 1: back and we do great things. You know, it's only

- 45:12Speaker 1: here in being in the community. Uh, consistent in a
- 45:16Speaker 1: couple of tough years. Yeah, the one year was absolutely fantastic.
- 45:19Speaker 1: With the first year was not easy. This year has
- 45:22Speaker 1: not been easy. But you've always been a pro in
- 45:24Speaker 1: the locker room, which is not easy to do in
- 45:27Speaker 1: those seasons. It helps us, but even beyond that, it
- 45:31Speaker 1: helps the fans understand what's going on with the team.
- 45:32Speaker 1: And you've always been off the charts good with that.
