0:58
Speaker 1: It's it's an interesting week for this team. I think
1:00
Speaker 1: at at two and three, it's fascinating to me to
1:04
Speaker 1: see how this team feels about itself. I still think
1:06
Speaker 1: it's the main storyline this week, along with all the
1:10
Speaker 1: periphery stuff, the big periphery stuff of Gardner Minshew and
1:13
Speaker 1: the sidebar of Jalen Ramsey continue and and you need
1:18
Speaker 1: this one this week. Here's what we're getting to on
1:20
Speaker 1: the program. Today, We've got a show for you Saints
1:23
Speaker 1: Jaguars Freeview will go through the big storylines of the day,
1:26
Speaker 1: Week six in the a f C South, will touch
1:29
Speaker 1: on all the other teams and where the Jaguars stand
1:31
Speaker 1: in the division. Players to watch. We'll pick our players
1:35
Speaker 1: to to kind of really focus on this week. The
1:38
Speaker 1: uniform unveiling Jimmy Luck schedule to join US head equipment
1:41
Speaker 1: manager Hill unveiled with the Jaguars will wear Sunday on
1:44
Speaker 1: homecoming weekend. And it's always our co host Chris Conley,
1:48
Speaker 1: wide receiver. His guests today d J. Chark Jr. Who
1:54
Speaker 1: is among the best in the National Football League at
1:57
Speaker 1: this point in time and hopefully as the season goes.
2:00
Speaker 1: So we've got to quite a show ahead, Yes, yes,
2:02
Speaker 1: we do. Um let's start. Let's start with a sidebar
2:05
Speaker 1: because that's gonna be the national story. Is Jalen Ramsey
2:09
Speaker 1: back on the practice fields to day in a limited roles,
2:11
Speaker 1: first time practicing in a couple of weeks for this
2:14
Speaker 1: Jaguars team. Who knows what the rest of the week holds,
2:18
Speaker 1: but he was out there for some individual stuff today. Yeah,
2:23
Speaker 1: and you know time will tell if it's UH, if
2:27
Speaker 1: it's a practice limited DMP, d NP, don't play. If
2:31
Speaker 1: it's a practice limited, practice limited on on Thursday, it could.
2:35
Speaker 1: I don't think him practicing is necessarily a harbinger of
2:40
Speaker 1: anything at this point. I think it's we'll see, and
2:45
Speaker 1: I think at this point there's been so much drama
2:47
Speaker 1: with this story, so much stuff going around that we
2:50
Speaker 1: won't know until we know. And I wish on a
2:53
Speaker 1: Wednesday people tune in to to Jaguars Drive or Jack
2:58
Speaker 1: was happier wanting some hard information. I don't think anybody
3:02
Speaker 1: has it right now, because it's going to be up
3:03
Speaker 1: to Jalen's back first and then Jalen what is going
3:09
Speaker 1: on there beyond the back. I don't know that we
3:12
Speaker 1: know either, and that's weird. But that's where we are,
3:16
Speaker 1: and we haven't heard from Jalen. He was not in
3:18
Speaker 1: the locker room today during the open media time at
3:21
Speaker 1: least that I saw, and in the past when he's spoken,
3:24
Speaker 1: it's been on Thursdays. We'll see if that gets back
3:28
Speaker 1: on track this week. I didn't speak last week to
3:29
Speaker 1: the meetings UM, but it's something that's the way we do.
3:33
Speaker 1: You would find out or get an idea of what
3:35
Speaker 1: he says, at least would be if comes from the
3:37
Speaker 1: horse's mouth. So he hasn't spoken yet. And again I
3:41
Speaker 1: wish for people listening that we had more definitive to say,
3:46
Speaker 1: but that's where we're at in this story right now.
3:48
Speaker 1: Let's move along to the Jaguars offense. And you know
3:51
Speaker 1: last week the running game I had a long run
3:55
Speaker 1: and then worked its way into a decent day at
3:58
Speaker 1: the office. Of course, Gordoner Minshew has been fantastic. But
4:01
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of this offense right now
4:02
Speaker 1: that are among the highs in the league in their categories,
4:06
Speaker 1: including Gardner Minshew. The second the Jaguars quarterback is six
4:10
Speaker 1: in the league and rating so far that's third in
4:13
Speaker 1: the a f C. D J. Chark Jr. Fifth in
4:15
Speaker 1: the league, and yardage receiving first in the a f C,
4:19
Speaker 1: tied for the second most touchdowns. You see Leonard four
4:21
Speaker 1: nette what he's done so far, He's still right there
4:24
Speaker 1: near the top of the NFL and the team totals.
4:27
Speaker 1: You know, usually this is the rankings you'll see in
4:30
Speaker 1: the team on the defensive side, top ten looks and
4:33
Speaker 1: rushing and and all that stuff. Well, this is the offense.
4:37
Speaker 1: I mean they are, they're moving the ball. There's six
4:39
Speaker 1: in the league in total offense. Yeah, and it's it's
4:42
Speaker 1: uh very similar in numbers honestly to what they put
4:47
Speaker 1: up in two had seventeen, But it feels so much
4:51
Speaker 1: different this offense. I mean that offense last offensive he
4:54
Speaker 1: had seventeen was a explosive might have four and fifty
4:59
Speaker 1: and then two hundred, and it was a good offensive
5:01
Speaker 1: times and bad offensive others. The intriguing thing about this
5:04
Speaker 1: one is there's a couple of things you keep feeling.
5:08
Speaker 1: Each week, you get more and more confident that what
5:12
Speaker 1: you're seeing is real and and uh not real but sustainable,
5:18
Speaker 1: that it's something that you keep waiting for Gardner Minshew
5:21
Speaker 1: to show rookie stuff. We all of a sudden that
5:22
Speaker 1: for four or five weeks you're like, well maybe this
5:24
Speaker 1: is what this kid is uh DJ Chark, who will
5:27
Speaker 1: be here? Um? You know, it is rapidly becoming a
5:32
Speaker 1: true number one in the sense of I think defenses
5:36
Speaker 1: now have to say during Wednesday and Thursday game planning,
5:40
Speaker 1: we are going to take this this guy away or
5:43
Speaker 1: else he's going to beat us. And that's the mark
5:46
Speaker 1: of a true one where you have to account for
5:49
Speaker 1: a guy and therefore give up other things defensively, that's
5:53
Speaker 1: where they help you. So it's real. Um, now, can
5:59
Speaker 1: it's start being an offense that win shootouts and that
6:05
Speaker 1: instead of losing thirty twenty seven last week, come up
6:08
Speaker 1: with that thirty seven thirty four. You know, that's what
6:12
Speaker 1: the elite teams do. Boy, is this thing gearing towards
6:15
Speaker 1: that in a hurry. Let's hope it keeps it up.
6:17
Speaker 1: If they could do a little more of that early
6:19
Speaker 1: in games too, and get that defense has a hand
6:23
Speaker 1: in that too, obviously that to have early leads. But
6:26
Speaker 1: they haven't played with a lead really in a while.
6:30
Speaker 1: They end you were jimmy headed the defense a little bit.
6:34
Speaker 1: But to me, that's a huge reason why it feels
6:39
Speaker 1: like the defense is not playing well at all in
6:43
Speaker 1: any capacity right now. That's not necessarily true. They've only
6:47
Speaker 1: really played with the lead one time this year, and
6:50
Speaker 1: that was against Tennessee, and how many sacks they have
6:53
Speaker 1: in that game not so I don't think it's quite
6:56
Speaker 1: fair yet to say that this team is not rushing
6:59
Speaker 1: the pastor like it in the past, no matter what's
7:02
Speaker 1: happening you have to have leads and have to be
7:05
Speaker 1: in passing situations to rush the quarterback. The one time
7:08
Speaker 1: they had a chance, they dominated the game. So you
7:12
Speaker 1: do get the idea if this team can get a lead,
7:14
Speaker 1: which is really how it's always played best defensively, Um,
7:18
Speaker 1: then it can get back to where it's a sack
7:21
Speaker 1: type of game. Uh, a Saxonville type of game. But
7:26
Speaker 1: right now you've got a question, can they play run
7:29
Speaker 1: defense well enough to get there? Uh? That's their task
7:33
Speaker 1: this week. Let's take a look at the defensive rankings
7:35
Speaker 1: for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and they are not what you're
7:38
Speaker 1: accustomed to the last couple of years around here. Through
7:41
Speaker 1: five weeks in the league in total defense, rushing defense
7:49
Speaker 1: last in the league, and rush yards per play that's
7:52
Speaker 1: the one that really kills you. Third down percentage that
7:55
Speaker 1: haven't been great in that situation either. So this is
7:59
Speaker 1: far from what we're used to around here. And I
8:02
Speaker 1: think we talked about it on Monday's Jaguars Happy Hour
8:05
Speaker 1: with Criscoe and Basselli. This is not an elite group
8:09
Speaker 1: right now in terms of comparing them to other defenses
8:12
Speaker 1: in the league. They have good, strong players, there's a
8:14
Speaker 1: belief on that side of the locker room that they
8:17
Speaker 1: can get back to doing things the way they used
8:19
Speaker 1: to do it, but it hasn't shown in the statistics.
8:22
Speaker 1: It's not I think it's it's going to wind up
8:25
Speaker 1: being a better defense than what these numbers show. You're
8:29
Speaker 1: still in week five of this thing. And remember they've
8:33
Speaker 1: had two really good games. They had what I consider
8:37
Speaker 1: started a game against Denver. People consider that a wheels
8:42
Speaker 1: off game. Remember against Denver, they had an awful first
8:45
Speaker 1: half and give a hundred and ten yards in the
8:47
Speaker 1: second half, had a bad series late in that game,
8:51
Speaker 1: but the defense played very well during that comeback, help
8:54
Speaker 1: them get back in it, and we're smothering for a while.
8:56
Speaker 1: So let's I'd call that a tie in terms of
9:00
Speaker 1: the defensive the game. There are two awful games. There
9:04
Speaker 1: have been two players on the other side of the
9:06
Speaker 1: ball who might wind up finishing one two an m
9:10
Speaker 1: v P this year. There are there are two really
9:17
Speaker 1: bad games. They were playing against guys who I would
9:20
Speaker 1: make the argument that if you have just an okay
9:24
Speaker 1: game against either of those guys, they can turn that
9:27
Speaker 1: into an awful game. So it may be a case
9:31
Speaker 1: where Over the next few weeks, it trends back and
9:34
Speaker 1: we see, okay, this is not the defense, but it's
9:39
Speaker 1: the middle of the pack. Okay defense my senses with
9:43
Speaker 1: the personnel without Jalen, If if Jalen, Jalen doesn't play,
9:47
Speaker 1: I get the idea that somewhere between twelve and eighteen
9:50
Speaker 1: in the league is about where this defense can get
9:53
Speaker 1: to because you're gonna give up stuff in the back
9:55
Speaker 1: without Jaylen uh but with this offense for the first
9:59
Speaker 1: time in forever, with this offense, twelve to eighteen fine,
10:06
Speaker 1: and okay, for this defense might be enough to get
10:09
Speaker 1: this team wins, so which was completely what we didn't
10:12
Speaker 1: think in September. If this defense has bad games, they're losing,
10:16
Speaker 1: not anymore. And that's why there's hope around this team
10:18
Speaker 1: right now. We've heard about the run defense all week obviously,
10:22
Speaker 1: or lack thereof last week against Christian McCaffrey and run
10:25
Speaker 1: fits or lack thereof, and and guys running free and
10:30
Speaker 1: overrunning plays and chasing things here. So there's been a
10:33
Speaker 1: lot of focus this week, at least so far today
10:36
Speaker 1: on the linebacker position being a part of that. The
10:39
Speaker 1: main part of that. It starts up front. Obviously, every
10:41
Speaker 1: level has guys that have to fill gaps and do
10:44
Speaker 1: their thing, but the linebackers are the ones that are
10:48
Speaker 1: really the first line to do that. Yet it starts
10:51
Speaker 1: there with when a defensive lineman misses a gap, which
10:56
Speaker 1: happened on the eighty four yard Clay has missed his.
10:58
Speaker 1: When that happens, it's supposed to turn into a five
11:02
Speaker 1: yard game, and you're disappointed, and you're staring at second
11:05
Speaker 1: and five and bad down and distance. You can get
11:07
Speaker 1: out of it when a linebacker misses it as much
11:11
Speaker 1: as heat, as much heat as the linebackers have taken deservedly,
11:14
Speaker 1: so when a linebacker misses the gap was turned into
11:17
Speaker 1: into a fifteen yard play and you live to fight
11:18
Speaker 1: another day. A mammoth issue on the breakout has been
11:23
Speaker 1: that the safeties were missing him too well. When all
11:26
Speaker 1: three miss and you get into the secondary and the
11:28
Speaker 1: safeties out of a gap, then what you have is
11:31
Speaker 1: just a straight line of the end zone, which is
11:32
Speaker 1: what McCaffrey had on the one play, which was really
11:35
Speaker 1: the that in the fifty nine yard or by the
11:38
Speaker 1: backup where the two disaster plays. Well, the linebackers in
11:44
Speaker 1: his position is supposed to be able to have a
11:45
Speaker 1: bad gap without it turning into hund eighty five yards Russian,
11:49
Speaker 1: So there's a little bit of that too. The good
11:52
Speaker 1: news with gap errors is historically they are very fixable
11:58
Speaker 1: in that instead of linebacker jumping into gap five when
12:03
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be in gap four, you stay in
12:04
Speaker 1: gap four and you trust that your teammate's gonna be
12:07
Speaker 1: in gap five. Um, So that's gonna be our theme
12:10
Speaker 1: all week. We're talking about it. It's the truth, but
12:14
Speaker 1: the defense. It's great to talk about it, but they
12:18
Speaker 1: still have to go into next Sunday against New Orleans
12:20
Speaker 1: and play with the idea that they're trusting their teammates
12:24
Speaker 1: and that they are doing as long as you do.
12:27
Speaker 1: This is all based on an idea of going into
12:29
Speaker 1: games as long as you were doing your job, trust
12:33
Speaker 1: that your teammate will do his. That's the key to
12:36
Speaker 1: gap defense. If you don't do it, then you've got guys,
12:39
Speaker 1: you know, and all of a sudden, you're yards and
12:41
Speaker 1: you don't want any whoops against Alan Camara. No you don't.
12:44
Speaker 1: And let's touch on those New Orleans Saints. Has been
12:48
Speaker 1: quite a start of the season down in the Big easier.
12:50
Speaker 1: They lost Drew Brees for a handful of weeks coming up,
12:52
Speaker 1: and he's actually back throwing a ball again. But it's
12:55
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgwater's game right now. He's three and oh in
12:58
Speaker 1: relief of Drew Brees. It starts, and of course last
13:02
Speaker 1: week broke out for a huge output against Tampa. Alvin
13:06
Speaker 1: Camara fourth in the league in scrimmage yards. He's a
13:10
Speaker 1: threat really everywhere all over the field. Michael Thomas is
13:14
Speaker 1: arguably the best receiver in football, and if not, he's
13:18
Speaker 1: right there near the top. Leads the league in receptions
13:21
Speaker 1: and receiving yards and all that. But let's start with
13:23
Speaker 1: Camara because the run game was such a success for
13:26
Speaker 1: Carolina last week. This is a I don't know if
13:30
Speaker 1: he's the same as McCaffrey, but it's more similar to
13:33
Speaker 1: McCaffrey than it would be, say Derrick Henry. This guy
13:35
Speaker 1: can shifty, he can break tackles, he's great balance and everything.
13:41
Speaker 1: Asking some of the defensive guys about him today, I mean,
13:44
Speaker 1: you just gotta go take your shot at him because
13:46
Speaker 1: he can make you miss and do some things too.
13:48
Speaker 1: He's the same in the sense that he can hurt
13:51
Speaker 1: you out of the backfield, just like Christian McCaffrey can.
13:54
Speaker 1: I would not call Camara necessarily. Well, you look at
13:57
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. If he didn't have the receiving part of
14:06
Speaker 1: his game, he would still be a Pro Bowl, all
14:10
Speaker 1: Pro level running back. I think I don't know that
14:13
Speaker 1: Kamara would be in that conversation if he wasn't such
14:17
Speaker 1: a dynamic receiver. Um, but guess what in the NFL
14:21
Speaker 1: these days, if you have a back to do it,
14:24
Speaker 1: who can do what Kamara does, then you're elite no
14:27
Speaker 1: matter where you put the statistics. Meaning there's when Caroline
14:32
Speaker 1: and the Saints is the Saints use Kamara out of
14:36
Speaker 1: the backfield as a receiver and it's really sort of
14:41
Speaker 1: part of their running game. Uh. McCaffrey is more if
14:45
Speaker 1: you put him out wide and he's in the rout tree,
14:47
Speaker 1: he plays like a wide receiver and he can get
14:50
Speaker 1: into that. It's a subtle difference, but it's there. Uh.
14:54
Speaker 1: The bottom line is, no matter where you put Camara statistics,
14:57
Speaker 1: he is an extremely dangerous player who if if you
15:00
Speaker 1: are one on one with him, it's an advantage for
15:04
Speaker 1: him and not you. So they have to have the
15:06
Speaker 1: same sort of mentality they were supposed to have against McCaffrey,
15:09
Speaker 1: which is a bunch of guys going to the ball,
15:12
Speaker 1: two guys around him when he catches it. Uh. The
15:16
Speaker 1: the nice thing is you know what the game plan is.
15:19
Speaker 1: The concern is they knew what the game plan was
15:21
Speaker 1: last week and didn't execute us. So, uh, this is
15:26
Speaker 1: all going to be a lot of talk all week,
15:28
Speaker 1: and there's and there's going to be a lot of
15:30
Speaker 1: people listening to the talk and saying, well, I don't
15:32
Speaker 1: really believe you until I see it. So it is
15:35
Speaker 1: very much a put up week on Sunday. If they
15:39
Speaker 1: put up, you have a very pleasant post game show.
15:42
Speaker 1: If they don't, we're talking about a trend. It's very
15:44
Speaker 1: disturbing and some angry listeners and callers after the game
15:47
Speaker 1: to that would work if you shatock John Osan Jaguars
15:51
Speaker 1: happy hour continues. Michael Thomas, the wide receiver, as we mentioned,
15:55
Speaker 1: is right there at the top of the league, and
15:57
Speaker 1: it would be nice if you had your fullest sortment
16:00
Speaker 1: of defensive backs this week, especially in a matchup like this.
16:04
Speaker 1: The former second round pick out of Ohio State three
16:08
Speaker 1: touchdowns this year, but he produces man i mean, he's
16:11
Speaker 1: only missed ten bolts all here targets. It's pretty remarkable
16:16
Speaker 1: percentage of catches. Michael Thomas is the truth, there's no doubt. Yeah,
16:21
Speaker 1: he's um. You always need Jalen, But this is why
16:26
Speaker 1: you drafted Jailen because in a game like this, you
16:30
Speaker 1: should be able to on the in the situations where
16:33
Speaker 1: they play man, which isn't always, but in those situations,
16:37
Speaker 1: the idea would be put Jalen over there and then
16:41
Speaker 1: we'll allow our other three defensive backs and our nickel
16:45
Speaker 1: people to cover the rest of the field and Michael
16:48
Speaker 1: Thomas and in that situation would get six catches for
16:51
Speaker 1: eighty yards, to have a productive day, but not kill you.
16:54
Speaker 1: When Jon is not on the field, then you're talking
16:56
Speaker 1: about him being able to kill you. Michael Thomas and
16:59
Speaker 1: the rest of the guys struggling because they're trying to
17:02
Speaker 1: do things without help that's going over to jail and
17:06
Speaker 1: side of the field. So it completely changes how you
17:09
Speaker 1: play defense without him. Uh, you know, and you would
17:13
Speaker 1: think if if he's healthy, Jalen, that this is a
17:16
Speaker 1: game where he would be ultramotivated. He's got one of
17:19
Speaker 1: the best receivers in the NFL on one side, and
17:22
Speaker 1: he's got a guy on the other side of the
17:23
Speaker 1: ball who makes a strong argument for being better than
17:25
Speaker 1: jail and which is out Lattimore. So again, we all
17:29
Speaker 1: here in Jacksonville say that Jalen Ramsey's the best defensive
17:33
Speaker 1: back in football. That's what I believe. But guess what
17:36
Speaker 1: the people in New Orleans would say the same thing
17:38
Speaker 1: about Lattimore. They have two games to show he's right.
17:41
Speaker 1: He's shut down to Mary Cooper, he shut down Evans.
17:44
Speaker 1: To me, this would be a game that a healthy
17:46
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey comes out with his hair on fire. I
17:48
Speaker 1: don't think there's any doubt about So we'll see if
17:50
Speaker 1: we get that. This is This is why right here
17:53
Speaker 1: speaking a lotta more obviously fantastic player on the back
17:56
Speaker 1: end for the New Orleans Saints. They have some pass
17:58
Speaker 1: rush guys too that have been at it for a while.
18:01
Speaker 1: Cameron Jordan's went at it for a long time in
18:02
Speaker 1: this league and as a very successful player. Marcus Davenport
18:05
Speaker 1: relatively new to the league. But they can get home
18:08
Speaker 1: and when that defense is rolling, they can do a
18:10
Speaker 1: lot of good things down in New Orleans. Big challenge
18:13
Speaker 1: this week and the key. I talked to John descheser
18:18
Speaker 1: over in New Orleans dot dot com this week at
18:20
Speaker 1: the Saints dot Com. He made a good point about
18:23
Speaker 1: this team that I think should resonate as you talk
18:26
Speaker 1: about this game all week. The Saints since Breeze went out,
18:31
Speaker 1: have been able to play exactly as they want to play,
18:36
Speaker 1: meaning they have had leads with an inexperienced quarterback, which
18:40
Speaker 1: was what Bridgewater really is compared to Breeze. If if
18:43
Speaker 1: you're trying to protect your quarterback or play efficiently with
18:48
Speaker 1: a backup, you would love to never be behind. Well,
18:51
Speaker 1: they really haven't been behind since Breeze left, so as
18:55
Speaker 1: a result, they haven't had to throw a lot. They
18:57
Speaker 1: haven't had had to have Bridgewater throwing into into coverage
19:00
Speaker 1: that knows it's coming. Um. It's imperative on the Jaguars
19:05
Speaker 1: to not have a slow start this week. To get ahead,
19:08
Speaker 1: that's always the key. But against the team as good
19:10
Speaker 1: as New Orleans, if you get behind this team, it's
19:12
Speaker 1: tougher to come back then it has been the last
19:14
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, I believe. But if you get ahead
19:16
Speaker 1: of them, it's easy to say right now that the
19:20
Speaker 1: Saints are really, really good because they're four and one
19:22
Speaker 1: and three, and now without breeze, you wonder if they
19:26
Speaker 1: match that same level of performance. If you can get
19:28
Speaker 1: ahead of them, I think they turn into a different team.
19:30
Speaker 1: So I think that's key. You wonder if they might
19:32
Speaker 1: take the ball to start the game, just something, if
19:35
Speaker 1: they get it, just you know, with the idea of
19:38
Speaker 1: doing something. I agree for the most part. I got
19:41
Speaker 1: a lot of questions about this, but for the most part,
19:43
Speaker 1: I agree take the ball to start the second half
19:46
Speaker 1: because coaches love that. You get a chance to get
19:48
Speaker 1: two possessions straight. But you wonder if if with them
19:51
Speaker 1: falling behind so much, if they can get the opportunity
19:54
Speaker 1: to get the ball early, if they would take it.
19:56
Speaker 1: We want the ball and we're gonna score. That's what
19:58
Speaker 1: they'll say at the coin toss. I'd like to say
20:01
Speaker 1: that somebody said that one they did for them. Let's
20:06

Speaker 1: The Jags and the Saints coming up the games Sunday,
22:24
Speaker 1: Presented by the hand of the Auto Group, JP Shadrick,
22:26
Speaker 1: John Ozer. What the game was gonna be? I'm fired
22:31
Speaker 1: up for from us to be a lot of fun.
22:34
Speaker 1: It's it's really sort of the first game since mins
22:40
Speaker 1: Humania really took hold. I mean it was it was
22:43
Speaker 1: sort of fun and sort of hopeful that first week
22:45
Speaker 1: after he had brought him back against the Texans, and
22:48
Speaker 1: you sort of had an idea that something was happening,
22:50
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't in the stands. I don't really know.
22:54
Speaker 1: But you didn't feel like there was a fervor around
22:57
Speaker 1: the kid yet that night. So this is really the
23:00
Speaker 1: first time at home. Yeah, we're giving mustaches away and
23:04
Speaker 1: get the whole Yeah, so uh yeah, this is the
23:09
Speaker 1: first time you really feel it like it's going to
23:11
Speaker 1: be there and and be a real present, since there's
23:14
Speaker 1: a belief. I think that. I think the first time
23:15
Speaker 1: he played at home, it was a cool story and
23:18
Speaker 1: it was all sort of focused on the mustache. Hey,
23:21
Speaker 1: it was cool, the image, the the aviators. This time,
23:25
Speaker 1: he's got a body of work, and I think maybe
23:28
Speaker 1: you'll feel more fans there, feeling the hope that he
23:33
Speaker 1: has infused in it. It's a little more real this time,
23:35
Speaker 1: which is cool. And on Friday, on this free website,
23:39
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com, you'll see Ashlan Sullivan's visit with Gardner
23:43
Speaker 1: mentioned the second in the film room and breaking down
23:45
Speaker 1: some place from the first few weeks of his NFL career,
23:48
Speaker 1: and that'll be good stuff coming up on Friday. I
23:50
Speaker 1: haven't seen it yet. We gotta wait, wait till Friday.
23:53
Speaker 1: Is it ready yet? Is it even? I think it is?
23:56
Speaker 1: Sometimes that office tends to you wait till the last minute.
23:59
Speaker 1: Takes little time. But seriously, that'll be good because she
24:05
Speaker 1: has a good job with this first of all. But
24:06
Speaker 1: our gardner is, you know, so much smarter in football
24:12
Speaker 1: savvy than I think national people who were just focused
24:16
Speaker 1: on the image really realized it would be cool to
24:19
Speaker 1: give him a chance to sort of show that. ANFC
24:21
Speaker 1: South standings coming into week number six, it's shaking a
24:25
Speaker 1: little bit, not really. Actually, the order is about the same.
24:29
Speaker 1: The numbers are a little different obviously, Houston and Indie,
24:33
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and Tennessee. Pretty straightforward there. The Jacks officially third
24:38
Speaker 1: in the division where the division win and coming up
24:42
Speaker 1: this week the games in the division, well, Indy's off
24:45
Speaker 1: this week, the Colts have a bye, of course, the
24:48
Speaker 1: Saints of the Jaguars one o'clock Sunday here Texans at
24:51
Speaker 1: the Chiefs at Arrowhead. That's a one o'clock kickoff. Sunday
24:55
Speaker 1: and the Titans at the Broncos at Mile High I
25:00
Speaker 1: have Eastern time kicks, So two tough road environments for
25:03
Speaker 1: the Texans and the Titans this week, and that a
25:06
Speaker 1: chance for the Jags to getting a little grounds. Yeah.
25:09
Speaker 1: I got a couple of emails last week, I guess
25:11
Speaker 1: because the Texans and the Colts both won. It was
25:16
Speaker 1: impressive on some level. I just got some people saying, well,
25:19
Speaker 1: it looks like we're not going to win the division
25:20
Speaker 1: this year. Is there's eleven games left, it's three and two,
25:25
Speaker 1: two and three. You still play the Colts twice, you
25:28
Speaker 1: play the Texans in London. I I get that we're
25:32
Speaker 1: gonna show the standings because they matter at this point.
25:38
Speaker 1: Play your next five or six games, win a bunch
25:41
Speaker 1: of them, and look how those standings look after that.
25:44
Speaker 1: Just just go play and worry about the standings coming
25:46
Speaker 1: by late November, because if you if you play the
25:49
Speaker 1: way that you feel like you're starting to play, then
25:52
Speaker 1: all that's gonna work itself out. That there's more than
25:55
Speaker 1: enough time for the winds to take care of themselves
25:58
Speaker 1: and put you where you need to be. Let's get
26:00
Speaker 1: to our players to watch this week We've touched on
26:03
Speaker 1: a lot of the big picture stories around this team,
26:05
Speaker 1: but each week we pick a couple of key guys
26:08
Speaker 1: to watch in this game on Sunday. I'll start this week,
26:12
Speaker 1: do that Miles Jack pretty obvious when this week after
26:16
Speaker 1: he took a lot of the blame for the missed
26:18
Speaker 1: run assignments last week. You see his numbers there on
26:22
Speaker 1: your screen. You see his career numbers as well as
26:25
Speaker 1: fourth NFL season. And Miles signed that new contract. So
26:30
Speaker 1: let's see if he can get this defense back on track.
26:33
Speaker 1: He's the defensive captain, he calls the plays, he gets
26:35
Speaker 1: guys in the right place. That's got to get back
26:38
Speaker 1: on track on the defensive side of the ball. So
26:40
Speaker 1: I think that one's an easy one. This week defensive
26:43
Speaker 1: he hadn't played well and a lot of times not
26:48
Speaker 1: playing well for for these guys at this level. How
26:51
Speaker 1: much like Norwell is uh yeah, one or two bad
26:55
Speaker 1: plays they awful and you let but if one bad play,
26:59
Speaker 1: let's an eighty four yard run. Or if one bad
27:02
Speaker 1: play is a fumble that you forced going back into
27:04
Speaker 1: the corby goes the other way, and that's what you're
27:06
Speaker 1: defined by. So toughly tough break. But that's that's what
27:11
Speaker 1: Miles can't do. And you know he last year I
27:18
Speaker 1: wanted to come in and really be a playmaker. All right.
27:21
Speaker 1: At this point, you get the feeling that his best
27:24
Speaker 1: approaches focus on the task at hand, really bear down
27:30
Speaker 1: and make sure you're getting the assignments right and not
27:33
Speaker 1: trying to make too many big plays and just do
27:36
Speaker 1: your job. So uh, that would be the task of
27:40
Speaker 1: all these defensive guys, and Miles of the team captain
27:43
Speaker 1: probably needs to take the lead on that regard. On
27:46
Speaker 1: the offensive side for me this week, Leonard for nettuh right,
27:51
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy is a big piece of this offense.
27:54
Speaker 1: But he's put together back to back hundred yard games.
27:57
Speaker 1: He's never had three consecutive one hundred yard game games
28:00
Speaker 1: in his career, and it's in the NFL at least,
28:03
Speaker 1: and as he goes a lot of times since how
28:05
Speaker 1: this offense is gonna go. I don't think you want
28:07
Speaker 1: Gardner minsh you to have to drop back fifty one
28:10
Speaker 1: times like you did last week four passes and seven
28:13
Speaker 1: runs a quarterback did. So, if you can maintain the
28:16
Speaker 1: running game and stick with it, as we've said over
28:19
Speaker 1: the weeks here, then Leonard at least feels like he's
28:23
Speaker 1: running the right way when when he's running right at
28:27
Speaker 1: the line, can he continue That's a big question mark,
28:30
Speaker 1: and that's that's my one of my picks. Yeah, and
28:32
Speaker 1: I think I think he can. I think you'll continue
28:34
Speaker 1: playing like he's playing, which is how he has to play.
28:37
Speaker 1: I think he's ever gonna be a you know, seven
28:40
Speaker 1: yards made people miss eight or nine plays in a
28:43
Speaker 1: row guy. But he can certainly do what he has
28:46
Speaker 1: been doing, which is running with incredible effort, taking what
28:49
Speaker 1: is there and getting a lot of yards after contact.
28:53
Speaker 1: A statue just threw out, really jumped out of me
28:56
Speaker 1: about Minshew dropping fifty one times and maybe a handful
29:01
Speaker 1: of plays where you thought, okay, this is kind of
29:05
Speaker 1: getting away from him. Shouldn't have made this decision when coaches,
29:11
Speaker 1: you know, spend all week doing whatever they can not
29:15
Speaker 1: to have a rookie quarterback with the ball in his
29:18
Speaker 1: hands by the line of scrimmage that much. Uh. He
29:21
Speaker 1: handled it impeccably against a very very good defense and
29:25
Speaker 1: never felt out of control. One more reason why I
29:27
Speaker 1: think the kids for real. I have Clais Campbell's one
29:32
Speaker 1: and mainly because I thought on Monday that he really
29:37
Speaker 1: uh after a tough defensive effort, which there are a
29:41
Speaker 1: couple of plays that he had that he didn't make.
29:43
Speaker 1: It he was a part of maybe the first time
29:46
Speaker 1: since he's been here where really sort of making a
29:50
Speaker 1: statement when he made the comment about if I was Kamara,
29:53
Speaker 1: I'd be licking my chops about this defense. Um, that
29:57
Speaker 1: felt to me like I'm gonna make sure that people
30:02
Speaker 1: are aware that we need to get better, meaning even
30:05
Speaker 1: some of the teammates, because that's kind of commented. Obviously,
30:07
Speaker 1: he's a veteran, he knows what's going to get written
30:10
Speaker 1: and what talked about. It felt like a little bit
30:12
Speaker 1: of a challenge to himself and this defense of you
30:16
Speaker 1: know what I've been saying all along, We've got to
30:19
Speaker 1: be better than that right now, we don't look better
30:22
Speaker 1: than what we're playing and uh, we need to prove it.
30:25
Speaker 1: So I think it's a big game, uh for him
30:28
Speaker 1: on the field a little bit, but basically as defensive captain,
30:32
Speaker 1: him and Miles are responsible with the coaches for getting
30:36
Speaker 1: this thing right. So you get the feeling that was
30:38
Speaker 1: that that was what that was about. And my other
30:40
Speaker 1: ones Ronnie Harrison who double defense. Well, it's uh, it's
30:45
Speaker 1: the story of the week. Yeah. If you're watching for
30:47
Speaker 1: stuff this week, it's defense and you know, the safeties.
30:51
Speaker 1: It was a big question going into the season. There
30:53
Speaker 1: are a lot of questions going to the season. So
30:55
Speaker 1: many have been answered positively on offense, but people question
31:00
Speaker 1: the linebackers and safetyes on this defense and right now, Ronnie,
31:04
Speaker 1: the rest of the you know, Jared Wilson, guys in
31:08
Speaker 1: the back seven overall, Uh, there's a target this week.
31:12
Speaker 1: They need to play better. And you know a lot
31:16
Speaker 1: of times if you're miss an assignment on defense gets overlooked.
31:19
Speaker 1: This week, if these guys out of a gap there's
31:21
Speaker 1: a big play, it's gonna be talked about. It's it's
31:23
Speaker 1: a big issue. And uh, Ronnie along with four or
31:27
Speaker 1: five guys in the back seven need to play back.
31:30
Speaker 1: You're having our players to watch. I had Miles Jack
31:33
Speaker 1: and Leonard for that. Johnny had Colaius Campbell and Ronnie
31:36
Speaker 1: Harrison for the Jags against the Saints. Big week for
31:39
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean it feels like with the defense
31:43
Speaker 1: that two twos an eighteen or over. Yeah, I mean,
31:48
Speaker 1: obviously they are, but even within the the image of
31:51
Speaker 1: this team. Uh, this is a chance against a very
31:54
Speaker 1: good Saints offense. You come out and play like you're
31:58
Speaker 1: capable of All of a sudden, the waters calmed down
32:00
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, but they are a team that's
32:02
Speaker 1: capable of doing just what Carolina did to you. So
32:05
Speaker 1: it's big. About to get busy again at Daily's Place

40:30
Speaker 1: was a little nervous on his way over here. You're
40:32
Speaker 1: never nervous because I'm in a room with him and
40:34
Speaker 1: I don't know what question as this might be a
40:37
Speaker 1: tough get. Three weeks ago, this has been an easy
40:40
Speaker 1: guy to get. Yeah, but now he's a super starting superstar.
40:43
Speaker 1: Might have been tough. Ok. Yeah, yeah, he's asking for royalties.
40:46
Speaker 1: He already asked me for a cut this right now.
40:49
Speaker 1: You know, it's I had to get him on this
40:51
Speaker 1: week because you know, in a couple of weeks he
40:54
Speaker 1: never really invited me. That's the first time I'm invited.
40:57
Speaker 1: So well, you know, I had to see him do
40:58
Speaker 1: something first. One. Now we got him awesome, but hey,
41:04
Speaker 1: it's an unbelievable start. Well, it's not really unbelievable to you, right,
41:07
Speaker 1: I mean you knew you kind of had this in you.
41:09
Speaker 1: But this is compared to what happened last season? How
41:14
Speaker 1: did you Is it a different motivation now? Is it
41:16
Speaker 1: just experience or balls is coming your way more often?
41:20
Speaker 1: I think I think it's all all of it. Um.
41:23
Speaker 1: Last year took some time off, and then off season
41:27
Speaker 1: I trained pretty hard, hit the playbook way harder. UM.
41:30
Speaker 1: This year. UM, guys like Chris and Nick helped me
41:34
Speaker 1: out a lot. Honestly, I tell him now all the time. UM,
41:38
Speaker 1: and just mature things like that, and uh, having to
41:42
Speaker 1: focus on a plan, uh instead of just going out
41:45
Speaker 1: there and you know, trying to use athletic ability. Did
41:49
Speaker 1: you sense before the season that you were ready for
41:52
Speaker 1: something like this or had you kind of shown yourself
41:54
Speaker 1: each week? Uh where you can go? Uh? Before the season,
41:59
Speaker 1: my thing, my goal was to move into a role
42:03
Speaker 1: where my team can count on me and I one
42:06
Speaker 1: of other teams to uh, you know, take notice. And
42:09
Speaker 1: that was the biggest thing. It wasn't really about UM
42:12
Speaker 1: stats or anything. It would just have an impact on
42:15
Speaker 1: the field. And I think that's what I've been doing
42:17
Speaker 1: this year, you know, just trying to make sure that
42:20
Speaker 1: my teammates can count on me and be consistent with that,
42:23
Speaker 1: and making sure that going into the game that the
42:26
Speaker 1: team is taking notice. That's one of the things that
42:30
Speaker 1: we talked about a lot. We actually talk about accountability
42:33
Speaker 1: a lot in our room. And my question to you
42:36
Speaker 1: would be knowing that there is that level of accountability
42:41
Speaker 1: in our room, and there's that need for place from
42:43
Speaker 1: our team, and knowing that now you're on every team's
42:46
Speaker 1: radar and that they know that you're the guy who's
42:49
Speaker 1: going to get the ball. How does that How does
42:51
Speaker 1: that affect your approach to each week knowing that defenses
42:54
Speaker 1: know you're there, but you still got to be accountable
42:56
Speaker 1: with this team and in our room needing those plays
42:58
Speaker 1: from you. I do have a lot of faith in
43:04
Speaker 1: and Flip, you know when he called the play. So
43:07
Speaker 1: I'll leave the scheming and things like that to them.
43:10
Speaker 1: I just focus on, you know, running great routes, getting open,
43:13
Speaker 1: making the play things like that. Now, I know if
43:18
Speaker 1: it gets to a point where you know the defensive
43:21
Speaker 1: scheme is to take me away, then we have great receivers.
43:25
Speaker 1: You know. Uh, I'm the younger one. You know, people
43:29
Speaker 1: I have to also realize we've got Chris and de
43:31
Speaker 1: d and Keith and Cole. You know, so it really
43:35
Speaker 1: doesn't bother me at all because if you do that,
43:38
Speaker 1: then it's going to make the job even easier for
43:40
Speaker 1: our offense. I feel like so, uh, you know, I'm
43:44
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be pretty okay this year. I
43:47
Speaker 1: have a question for the veteran about the young guy.
43:51
Speaker 1: Size he's got and speed he's obviously got. Give me
43:55
Speaker 1: something about DJ. Maybe the average fan doesn't see it's
43:59
Speaker 1: allowing him to do what he's doing right now. Um,
44:01
Speaker 1: you know, I think there's a there's a level of
44:04
Speaker 1: comfortability that DJ has grown into over the course of
44:08
Speaker 1: this year. Uh. He's always been He's always been a
44:11
Speaker 1: raw athletic talent. You know. From day one when I
44:14
Speaker 1: came in here, uh, and and I signed with the team,
44:17
Speaker 1: they pulled me aside and said, hey, we got this guy,
44:20
Speaker 1: his name is Dju. We want you to we want
44:22
Speaker 1: you to keep an eye out on him and and
44:24
Speaker 1: work with him. And I think from from day one
44:27
Speaker 1: I noticed that he was really athletically talented. Uh. And
44:30
Speaker 1: that's that's half the battle in this game, and at
44:33
Speaker 1: this position. But one of the things that DJ uh.
44:37
Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to blow too much smoke
44:38
Speaker 1: his way, but one of the things that DJ has
44:41
Speaker 1: really impressed me with is his ability to come in
44:43
Speaker 1: even with some success, and to be hungry for more,
44:46
Speaker 1: to learn to work and get better. And not everybody
44:50
Speaker 1: has that. You know, we live in uh the age
44:54
Speaker 1: of Prima Donna. Receivers who have some good games and
44:57
Speaker 1: then they don't want to practice anymore, have some good aims,
45:00
Speaker 1: they don't want to watch film anymore, have some good games,
45:02
Speaker 1: and they don't want to be criticized. But DJ has
45:05
Speaker 1: come in and he's asked for that criticism. He's asked
45:08
Speaker 1: for the reps so that he can work to get better.
45:10
Speaker 1: He's asked me a lot of questions, and that's something
45:12
Speaker 1: that makes me proud. But lets me know that he's
45:15
Speaker 1: going to continue to grow. He's going to continue to
45:17
Speaker 1: get better if he keeps approaching the game with that
45:19
Speaker 1: mindset and allows the game to come to him as
45:21
Speaker 1: it goes. Do we open it up now and allow
45:23
Speaker 1: Chris we can do that, or vice versa. You can look,
45:31
Speaker 1: that's what happens when you make a couple of plays.
45:34
Speaker 1: Then it's it's my I'm the captain. Now, well, somebody's
45:37
Speaker 1: gonna take the helm here, So DJ want to some questions.
45:41
Speaker 1: You've got a question for me? You got a question
45:43
Speaker 1: for me? Let me know. Come on, what's your question?
45:45
Speaker 1: This is your moment, don't spoil it. Oh he's on
45:49
Speaker 1: the spot now, Chris, I do have a question. That's
45:53
Speaker 1: not a question, okay, question. Statement. You can make a statement.
45:59
Speaker 1: You make statements. I got a question. I got a
46:02
Speaker 1: question for him. What is LS you going to do
46:05
Speaker 1: with Florida? Easy? Oh, easy dog Saturday night in Baton Rouge.
46:11
Speaker 1: I'm glad you said that because we have a lot
46:13
Speaker 1: of Florida fans who watched these shows. Two touch you
46:16
Speaker 1: heard it, two touchdowns at least two. If you don't
46:22
Speaker 1: remember to be upset, you'll be upset. If it's a
46:25
Speaker 1: ten point, it should be fourteen or more. Huh. Okay,
46:29
Speaker 1: more more serious questions, more serious questions. He took that
46:32
Speaker 1: one pretty serious? Well, yeah he did, he did. We'll
46:35
Speaker 1: see if at least seriously. Um coming, you're from Alexandria,
46:42
Speaker 1: Louisiana not not a super small town. You guys have
46:46
Speaker 1: a mall, they have them all Alexandria and a Walmart
46:50
Speaker 1: they have at least they have at least five lights,
46:54
Speaker 1: you know, and stop signs. Um going from Alexandria to
47:00
Speaker 1: L s U. Finding some success late in your career,
47:04
Speaker 1: your senior year and really having some explosive plays and
47:07
Speaker 1: explosive numbers, transitioning to somewhere like Jacksonville, and then in
47:11
Speaker 1: your second year, really becoming a face on a team
47:15
Speaker 1: where everyone notices you, everyone you know, expects big things
47:19
Speaker 1: from you. How how has that affected you mentally? Because
47:24
Speaker 1: I know, I know you're a guy who approaches, who
47:26
Speaker 1: approaches his work day, and you know, you come to
47:29
Speaker 1: work to work and you have you have great relationships
47:32
Speaker 1: in the locker rooms. How how has this affected you mentally?
47:35
Speaker 1: Moving moving on into this year because you're you're early
47:37
Speaker 1: on in your career. Yeah, L s U. You know
47:41
Speaker 1: you got a little a little bit of it. Wearing
47:44
Speaker 1: seven was a big deal, you know, But now, uh,
47:50
Speaker 1: you know, it's always social media type thing, so I
47:54
Speaker 1: don't I don't even have Twitter on my phone. Um,
47:57
Speaker 1: I feel like Twitter is a little too personal. You know,
48:00
Speaker 1: anybody can't reach out to you and have a legit
48:02
Speaker 1: conversation with you, even if you don't respond and you
48:05
Speaker 1: see it. So, uh, I don't have Twitter, but I
48:08
Speaker 1: usually it's flattering, you know, it's flattering. But I am
48:14
Speaker 1: very personal and I do like, uh, privacy, So a
48:18
Speaker 1: lot of times I'm at home or if my family
48:21
Speaker 1: is in town. You know, I might go out on
48:23
Speaker 1: the city, but my family and things like that, but
48:26
Speaker 1: a lot of times I'm at home. But I do enjoy,
48:30
Speaker 1: you know, being with my team. So anytime it's anything
48:33
Speaker 1: to do with the team, like the movie night or
48:36
Speaker 1: anything like that, I'm definitely going to attend and that's
48:39
Speaker 1: fun for me. Or doing stuff like in the community
48:41
Speaker 1: on Tuesdays. That's pretty cool. But uh, it's still kind
48:45
Speaker 1: of weird, you know, walking into public or something and
48:50
Speaker 1: you're not sure if anybody noticed you. But sometimes most
48:53
Speaker 1: of the time they deal. Yeah, that's different. That's something
48:56
Speaker 1: that I'm adjusting to. But it hasn't been too bad.
49:00
Speaker 1: Out of the fans here are really respectful. That's awesome. Yeah,
49:05
Speaker 1: I have two questions. You go for it, you roomed
49:07
Speaker 1: the Leonard for that, you got that's got to be
49:11
Speaker 1: the whole thing. But what was that like? And does
49:15
Speaker 1: he ever turn it off? Meaning all of this stuff
49:18
Speaker 1: all the teasing all that. I mean, is he ever
49:20
Speaker 1: just normal or is he always what we've seen all
49:24
Speaker 1: If it's a pie chart, normal would be okay, and
49:33
Speaker 1: everything that you see, it's him for the rest of it,
49:36
Speaker 1: every right energy, Yeah, he is. He is. Now. You
49:40
Speaker 1: have his times where you come in the house and
49:42
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, he don't want to be bothered. That's
49:44
Speaker 1: when you bother them because every time we you know,
49:49
Speaker 1: just chilling, he don't stop, doesn't really care if you're
49:52
Speaker 1: in the mood or not going to go. So whenever
49:54
Speaker 1: he's not in the mood, it's the time that I
49:56
Speaker 1: tend to get under the skin the most. Jimmy Luck
50:01
Speaker 1: was just in here, and you know, there's a lot
50:02
Speaker 1: of theme music around you. There's Jaws, there's the Shark Baby,
50:06
Speaker 1: there's all that stuff. Now DJ where you don't like
50:11
Speaker 1: this DJ, but you prefer the Jaws theme, right, is
50:18
Speaker 1: that your Honestly, I didn't know about the you know,
50:23
Speaker 1: the baby Shark song. I didn't know that until last night.
50:27
Speaker 1: My kids. Yeah, found that last year. And it's cool,
50:32
Speaker 1: you know, it's cool. It's it's cool that you can
50:34
Speaker 1: just insert you know, my last name like that. But
50:41
Speaker 1: it don't really give off the image that I want.
50:44
Speaker 1: You know, you know, I'm kid friendly, kid friendly, But
50:48
Speaker 1: the cornerback in front of me singing that you know,
50:51
Speaker 1: just you know, when you burn him for an a
50:54
Speaker 1: d R touchdown, start singing baby shark and just humiliate.
50:59
Speaker 1: I can be like Jaws and boom just happened? We need?
51:04
Speaker 1: I still vote for DJ. How cool it either one?
51:09
Speaker 1: You know, as long as you're playing songs for you,
51:11
Speaker 1: that means you're doing well. You know, that's just what
51:13
Speaker 1: it means, which is positively speaking of like water and
51:17
Speaker 1: sharks and all that. Last year I went with you
51:20
Speaker 1: when you were taking swimming lessons at the y m
51:23
Speaker 1: c A. Are you and you're now giving lessons? Is
51:26
Speaker 1: that accurate? I'm trying to get into it. Uh. I've
51:29
Speaker 1: went back a few times, you know, to help out,
51:32
Speaker 1: and uh I like it. I enjoy It's something different.
51:35
Speaker 1: It was something that I could get away from football
51:39
Speaker 1: and enjoying, you know, time with you know, kids and
51:43
Speaker 1: people that go to the y m c A and
51:45
Speaker 1: things like that. It's cool. Now would you say you
51:48
Speaker 1: swim like a fish? Not at all? Uh? Like that's
51:52
Speaker 1: why I won't go surfing with you because tragic those
51:57
Speaker 1: are My next question? Are you confident enough in the ocean? Him,
52:01
Speaker 1: I don't think I belonged in the ocean, you know.
52:04
Speaker 1: So I if I've just dropped there, I feel like
52:06
Speaker 1: I can depending out where I am away from the shot,
52:09
Speaker 1: I can get back. So you're saying is if we
52:11
Speaker 1: were in a wave pool, you would go surf with us.
52:16
Speaker 1: It's a way pool and blew by you and it
52:18
Speaker 1: scares me. So I don't know. But that was before.
52:20
Speaker 1: That was before I knew how to swim, So I
52:22
Speaker 1: don't know. I haven't been in one since. But find
52:24
Speaker 1: the way. He could serve clearly, Yeah he could. He
52:27
Speaker 1: would be good, you know, and he could learn things fast.
52:30
Speaker 1: He could pick it up quickly. It's just, you know,
52:32
Speaker 1: we got to get over this. This fear of being
52:35
Speaker 1: on a board out in the water. Not gonna get
52:37
Speaker 1: me out of that. No, we've talked about this before.
52:39
Speaker 1: I mean, you're the visiting team when you go in
52:40
Speaker 1: the ocean. You were the visiting team. It's okay. We
52:42
Speaker 1: go in other people's houses and we you know, we
52:44
Speaker 1: aim to take over, to win games, not to die
52:50
Speaker 1: trying to win. Right, Come on, you're you're you are
52:55
Speaker 1: a DJ shark. You should be. You'll be fine at that.
53:00
Speaker 1: This is the time in your career you're coming into
53:02
Speaker 1: your your own. Are you enjoying it? I mean, are
53:05
Speaker 1: you having fun this season? And are you aware of it?
53:07
Speaker 1: You know? Actually I am because this year, Like like
53:13
Speaker 1: I said earlier, the people that we brought in this
53:17
Speaker 1: year has helped me out a lot, not only in football,
53:20
Speaker 1: but just growing. You know, if I could be like
53:26
Speaker 1: Nick Foles, you know, I'd be a wonderful person as
53:29
Speaker 1: well as Chris Uh. We brought in a lot of
53:32
Speaker 1: people that were very influential to me, you know, and
53:34
Speaker 1: I don't really just speak on it a lot, but
53:37
Speaker 1: that helped me grow as a person. I think that's
53:40
Speaker 1: also helped me when it comes to football. You know,
53:43
Speaker 1: last year, I was felt like I was more of
53:45
Speaker 1: a you know, I was joking a lot, but I
53:49
Speaker 1: didn't take the game that serious and I didn't take
53:52
Speaker 1: what I did when I left the facility as serious
53:55
Speaker 1: and now just meaning people to see levels of success
53:58
Speaker 1: how they did it. Instead enjoying, you know, the smaller
54:02
Speaker 1: things in life opposed to you know, trying to be
54:05
Speaker 1: on ESPN a face at the camera and things like
54:07
Speaker 1: that help me out a lot. Definitely, say it's only
54:10
Speaker 1: my second year. Final thoughts here, Chris game this week.
54:15
Speaker 1: The offenses is moving the ball. I mean it's had
54:17
Speaker 1: five hundred yards offense last week for goodness six That
54:20
Speaker 1: is the positive part of this thing. But it would
54:22
Speaker 1: be nice to to get an early lead in the
54:25
Speaker 1: game and work with a lead as a football team,
54:27
Speaker 1: right I think right now, you know, big focus for
54:30
Speaker 1: us this week is is offensively, we got eliminate termin overs.
54:33
Speaker 1: We gotta be smart with the ball. Whenever you have
54:34
Speaker 1: the ball is precious, especially with teams that can go
54:36
Speaker 1: down the field and score, just like Teddy Bridgewater and
54:39
Speaker 1: the Saints. You know, they have a lot of guys
54:40
Speaker 1: who are explosive on that offense. Uh and Michael Thomas
54:43
Speaker 1: and and just the way that they move with the ball.
54:45
Speaker 1: We have to protect the football when we have it. Uh.
54:48
Speaker 1: And then I think, on a positive note, one of
54:51
Speaker 1: the positive things that we had out of this weekend
54:54
Speaker 1: is there was no pointing fingers. You know, you come
54:56
Speaker 1: to the locker room, everyone says, hey, I gotta do better,
54:59
Speaker 1: I have to study more, or I have to let
55:00
Speaker 1: my practice during the week translate into the game. I
55:03
Speaker 1: have to let that success happen. Uh. You know, there
55:05
Speaker 1: wasn't any playing on defense, offense, special teams. It was
55:08
Speaker 1: everyone saying, hey, I gotta be better. But this week,
55:11
Speaker 1: you know, we have it's a big challenge in front
55:13
Speaker 1: of us. And like I said many times on here,
55:17
Speaker 1: we don't step down from a challenge where we're excited
55:20
Speaker 1: about it. But it is, it is gonna be in
55:23
Speaker 1: you know, a first class example of us having to
55:26
Speaker 1: get the little things right. We gotta do the little
55:27
Speaker 1: things right this week. Then we got shot Saints fan
55:30
Speaker 1: growing up definitely, definitely big time. And Breeze is there
55:36
Speaker 1: the whole time. So it's no, no, and Brooks real
55:42
Speaker 1: Saints fan. It's post super Bowl, you know, not this
55:46
Speaker 1: week though, No, not at all. I'm not gonna I'm
55:49
Speaker 1: not gonna lie. Once I got to Man in college,
55:56
Speaker 1: I stopped watching NFL. So, I mean, I was a
55:58
Speaker 1: fan of the Saints from growing up, but I wasn't
56:02
Speaker 1: like tuning in every Sunday because but then when he
56:06
Speaker 1: got to college, he became a Jacks fan. Yeah. Yeah,
56:09
Speaker 1: he talks to me about this all time. He was
56:11
Speaker 1: a Jacks fan as soon as he got to act.
56:13
Speaker 1: It was I actually did watch the Jazz because Leonard
56:16
Speaker 1: and uh Jalen. Jalen was very entertaining, you know. So
56:23
Speaker 1: it was so I asked to did start watching The
56:26
Speaker 1: Jack a little more. And now he watches the Jacks himself.
56:30
Speaker 1: You know, he puts on the highlights. Yeah, I think
56:36
