1 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: Welcome to Jacks Drive To with Ashlyn Sullimsells, John Oshan, 2 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 1: Brian Sexton, Jack Time when it starts right now, Welcome 3 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: in Jaguar's Drive Time. It is Tuesday, May tenth. I 4 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 1: am Ashland Sullivan here with Bran Sexton and John Osier. 5 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: It is a slow wish weekenning to a busy week 6 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: as Rookie Mini Camp is this weekend, the first time 7 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: that the rookies will be in the building and we 8 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: will be on this fo old Friday and Saturday, and 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: my fellows are looking very much forward to it. You know, 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: you always some you go in all right, here we go, 11 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: you know, a little football, and then you realize it's 12 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: really not much football, and so then you just kind 13 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: of say, well, when is this over? Although I'm anxious 14 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: to see some of these guys in person, I've never 15 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: seen I wasn't here when Travon Walker was here, um, 16 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: so I'm actually just see a little bit of that. 17 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: But I mean it comes and goes pretty quickly, and 18 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: then you're like, when does training camp start? Yeah, there's 19 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: certainly the first day of school feel for the rookies anyway, 20 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: and as Brian said, the big takeaway for somebody who's 21 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: watched a lot of these and we all have, the 22 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: big takeaway is how do they look? Uh, you want 23 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: to make sure and you try to tell a couple 24 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: of people. Very occasionally you will hear scouts with a 25 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: guy who just doesn't look like he belongs. Go, oh, 26 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: that's do you remember who? That was the most glaring 27 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: example in Jaguars history. Cesario was that guy back in 28 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: the day. I thought Harry Dela Jonas was too. They 29 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: were both ninety seven draft choice. Yeah, back in that um. 30 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: But it was a little more contact, I would say, 31 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: contact with a little more football lead during ReCommunity camp 32 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: at that point. Uh. And I think the veterans were 33 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: actually on the field during the time they realized those 34 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: guys were probably not gonna make it, because Tony Boselli 35 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: walked off the field and said, who's that guy that's 36 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: your third round pick? Yeah, So there's sometimes that that's 37 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: the main thing you don't want. You don't want people 38 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: coming out the field going but you really can't prove 39 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: that you can play during this time, but you can 40 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: sort of proof you don't belong, which I'm very used 41 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: to it. And and there were a couple of guys 42 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: that didn't pass the eye test, You're like, well, that 43 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: guy's a defensive tackle. Harry Della John state. It was 44 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: a really nice guy, but he was really short and 45 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: really square, and you just couldn't with short arms. You 46 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: just were like, how is he going to backle against 47 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: and the guards back At that moment in time, they 48 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: were like six ft five, six ft six guards, and 49 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: you're thinking, how is he gonna win those battles? So 50 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of that. But then when the 51 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: pads come on, you know, some guys the lights come 52 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: on and they show you what they've got. But even 53 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: that elements less now because it, as we discussed on 54 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: Dago's Reporters yesterday, it's gotten so non football. During this time, 55 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: you can watch the skill guys run around a little 56 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: bit and get an idea. Uh frankly, in this day 57 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: and age, you can't tell much about an offensive linemary 58 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: defensive lineman until the pads go on. They start doing 59 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: one all wines exactly. Let's get into big things. Big 60 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: thing one, like we said, is Rakie Mini Camp this 61 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We will be on the 62 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: field Friday and Saturday, and we'll share some observations of 63 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: what we will be able to tell us to stay 64 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: with us for that, but notable that this will be 65 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: the first time that the entire draft classes in the 66 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: building altogether. Big thing too is schedule released. The official 67 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: NFL schedule will come out this Thursday. We know who's 68 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: planning home in a way, but we'll get the official 69 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: dates and we'll have our planners and we'll let it 70 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: out out. We're very excited. Everyone at the table is 71 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: looking forward to that. And finally, Big thing three is 72 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: the London game that was announced last week. The Denver 73 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: Broncos and the Jacksonville Jaguars will play in London Halloween weekend, 74 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: October thirty. Russell Wilson versus Trevor Lawrence. Incredibly notable Brian, 75 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you're you're thinking differently about 76 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos with all the moves they've been making. Well, 77 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: you know, they they've had a lot of pieces and 78 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: they've got some explosive receivers. I mean, Jerry Judy is 79 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: a guy that as a young receiver last year didn't 80 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: have the benefit of a consistent quarterback. Now he does 81 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: Remember he was a high choice. He's a speed guy 82 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: from Alabama who when he was at Alabama made everybody 83 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: you know, look stupid. He was so good. So you 84 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: look at a guy like that. The tight end, Oh, 85 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, they've just they've got some pieces, 86 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: and they didn't have the quarterback. Now they've got the 87 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: quarterback and in the a f C. West John Um 88 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: which is and maybe you'll agree, maybe you won't. I 89 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: think it's the most competitive division I've ever seen it. 90 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: It has a chance to be. I mean, I'm always skeptical, skeptical. 91 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: I'm skeptical literally as well um of offseason moves how 92 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: they really translate once the fall comes around. So to me, 93 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: the big move is Russell Wilson because that it seems 94 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: that a quarterback should be able to come and make 95 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: a huge impact. To me, this division is a huge 96 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: litmus test for the NFL. If it indeed becomes this 97 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: powerhouse division that the pundits expected to, then I think 98 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: you may see the rest of the league follow that 99 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, every offseason is going to 100 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: be absolute chaos with teams making moves like this. The 101 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: old man and Me also remembers times where there was 102 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: a year where the Mammi Dolphins did this in the 103 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: nineties and they had like twelve first round picks and 104 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: they were all free agency and they went like eight 105 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: and eight the next year. If a couple of those 106 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: teams do that, then you wonder if teams will follow 107 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: the trend. To me, the Broncos have the best chance 108 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: out of all those teams to really make a huge 109 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: stride because they've added the quarterback. Well, the Chargers, you know, 110 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: they went and traded for Khalil mac They had a 111 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: really good draft and they've got Justin Herbert who's clearly 112 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: an ascending quarterback. You can make a case for the 113 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: Raiders now with Davante Adams there. You can talk about 114 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: the Chiefs maybe coming back to the pack a little 115 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: bit without Tyreek Hill. I mean so, but when I 116 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: look at those rosters, I see teams that every Sunday, 117 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: I mean it is it's gonna be a match said, 118 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: there has to be an odd man out. And then 119 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: which you wonder is Davante Adams played with Aaron Rodgers. 120 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying von Anams isn't great. There's always been a 121 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: theory in the NFL that when you take guys off 122 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: of teams, do they go and they mesh immediately with 123 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: their new teams. To me, the a f C West 124 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: will be a huge test. If these guys come in 125 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: and make huge impacts, then you're gonna see every the 126 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: league will change and follow this if all of this 127 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: works well. So Derek Carr right yesterday I said, Derek 128 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: Carr gets Davantae Adams who he played with at Fresno. 129 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: And we saw the deal with um Kyler Murray getting 130 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown who played with an Oklahoma. It could be 131 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,559 Speaker 1: something to watch guys who played college together quarterbacks getting 132 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: receivers that they have some sort of a field for. 133 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: But you asked about the London game. That is a 134 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: great division and so we get to see a team 135 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: that we expect to be a much much improved team 136 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: this year. Interesting thing about the n f C West. 137 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: The Chiefs give up Tyreek Hill if they go win it. 138 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: If they go and so are the best team, what 139 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: does that do to the receiver position? Well, and do 140 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: some teams go, Okay, we don't need to go do that. 141 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: We need to keep drafting and developing. So it's a 142 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: little bit of a yeah, it's it's a copycat let. 143 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: Well every is good out of that teams teams will copy. 144 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: And you know that the salary cap is going to 145 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: take a massive jump up in the next three years, 146 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: and so they're laying these contracts out with the idea 147 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: that that's coming. So I want to talk about a 148 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: big thing too, because it's the schedule release, and you 149 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: know that every team that looks at that is coming 150 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: to Florida, that knows they're coming to Florida, whether it's 151 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: Miami jacksonvillor Tampa, looks at the schedule immediately says, when 152 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: are we going to Miami Jacksonville Tampa right? Because they're 153 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: beat ye that first well, the first month of the 154 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: season where the heat and humidity are consistent. I mean 155 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: you can count on suffering a bit uh in a 156 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: game like that. Much like when you're going to play 157 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: in Green Bay. You look to see, im I go 158 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: on the last Sunday of the year or am I 159 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: going to get a go I don't know, late September 160 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: early October when the weather is perfect. You know when 161 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: you look at coming to Florida more so than anywhere 162 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: else because in Arizona they play indoors, and in California 163 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: the weather so temperate here in particular, it is so 164 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: incredibly hot, humid, all those things. It's such an advantage 165 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: if a team is conditioned for it. So I always 166 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: look for that too, to see who has to come 167 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: down and deal with the heat and humidity. And I 168 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: think teams, if it's a non division team, especially, but 169 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: even the division teams, if you draw Jacksonville early, there's 170 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: gonna be that, and then there is going to be 171 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: the unknown. I think teams are gonna look at this 172 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: and say, well, we know Trevor Lawrence has talent, we 173 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: know they added some pieces. What is this kid and 174 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: this team gonna look like under Doug Peterson. I think 175 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: there will be more of a of a confidence around 176 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: or a worry if you will, around the league that 177 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence with Doug Peterson could be scarier early than 178 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: was the case last year when they didn't scare anybody 179 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 1: or even attempting to scout this team week one with 180 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: all these new pieces, How could you even possibly try 181 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 1: to attempt to predict what this offense is going to 182 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: look like when it's so incredibly you and do is 183 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: go back and start looking at Mike McCoy's tape when 184 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: he was an offensive coordinator and Doug Peterson in his time, 185 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: and the press Taylor part is interesting because he's never 186 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: been a coordinator at this level. So there's a new wrinkle. Um. Yeah, 187 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: depending on how it rolls out. I'm anxious to see 188 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: what the first month looks like because you know, as 189 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it, in New Orleans is incredibly hot 190 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: human but they play indoors, right Atlanta plays indoors. It's 191 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: it's Florida where teams look at the heat and humidity 192 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: and say, yeah, it's gonna be a bear. That week 193 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: one game when Nick Foles unfortunately broke his clavical I 194 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: thought I was going to pass out and just this 195 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: is dramatic die because it was not hot. Just to John, 196 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: you remember remember ninety six when the the a f 197 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: C champion Pittsburgh Steelers rolled in and they were carrying 198 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: guys off the field. Chad Brown, so it's an all 199 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: predominant linebacker literally couldn't walk off the field at the 200 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: end of the third quarter. And this is a supremely 201 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: conditioned athlete. So you know, there are a lot of 202 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: guys that train in the South and they can get 203 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: used to it. But you know, there is an advantage, 204 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: especially in that first month of the year when you're 205 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: down here every single day, and if and when the 206 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: Jaguars are good, they can take advantage of this. When 207 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: they're not, they frankly haven't taken advantage of that in 208 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: a long, long time. Well, the Chief game is a 209 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: proven example right there in a four teen nothing hole 210 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: immediately means so things got bad fast for them. You're right, John, 211 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: if you want to be able to do it, you 212 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: better be able to grind the football and run the 213 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: ball and force teams to play a long game. You 214 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: better not stink, and then that should be on a 215 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: T shirt. Better not ST's as simple as that. And 216 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to this year, so I'm 217 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: excited about that and that the big things when we 218 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: come back on Jaguars Drive times some Ashlan nask here 219 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Digital Network. The Jaguars are future focused 220 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: and ready for a new look in to join us 221 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: at the bank this season as head coach Doug Peterson 222 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: and quarterback Trevor Lawrence lead the charge to lock in 223 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: your seats. Visit Jaguars Dot com Slash tickets are Calm 224 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 1: nine oh four six three three two thousand. I had. 225 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: I had the opportunity to intern at NASA, and um, 226 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: you know, I had the opportunity to get a job 227 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: at Toyota. They have a plan in Kentucky and a 228 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: couple opportunities. I never took him up on him, just 229 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: because the time was constraints with football. Um, but definitely 230 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 1: some different options I could have pursued. And I kind 231 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: of got to the end of the fifth year and 232 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: realized that football is what I wanted to do with 233 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: I like, um, so I came back to that six 234 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: year and kind of, you know, dedicated most of my 235 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: time to it. Offensive lineman Luke Fortner on the ozone podcast, 236 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: A man in many talents, A man I had a 237 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: lot of job options, but chose to be a football player. 238 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: Don't you love that when guys have options, they can 239 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: do all these things. Those options will still be there 240 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: for him when he gets done with football, and he'll 241 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: have a lot of money so he can have his 242 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: own company, just like Tom Brady going right back into 243 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: the boose. Yeah, he's an impressive kid. I mean, it's uh, 244 00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: you guys have interviewed enough young players, young people. It's 245 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,599 Speaker 1: always amazing to me the difference that a couple of 246 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: years can make. He's a little older coming into the league. 247 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: I'm assuming he had this same maturity when he was 248 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: younger as well. But he's an interesting guy to talk to. Uh, 249 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: And I think when you look at this guy, uh, 250 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: there's a lot of confidence that he will be the 251 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: starting center here for a long long time. I don't 252 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: know if that means he's gonna be that in September, 253 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: but clearly that's why he was drafted. He's a guy 254 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: who has that maturity and intelligence to be a quick 255 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: leader on the interior. So uh, good kid. I would 256 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: listen to the podcast. I don't have to because I 257 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: did it, but if it was not me, I would 258 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: listen to the podcast A good one. Well, thank you, 259 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: very good episode at a time for AshEL and ask 260 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: three very important questions today as the schedule Least is 261 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: coming out on Thursday. Ashlan asked number one what quarterback 262 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: match up will be the most notable this upcoming season? 263 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: Have lots of options, perhaps a Dak pres Scott with 264 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: the Cowboys or a Derek Are with the Raiders. Well, 265 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: I'm ready because I cheated and I looked at the 266 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: question before. That's not the points. Go on, John Well, 267 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go in a different direction than the spirit 268 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: of the question. Uh but you know, she Land, thanks 269 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: for the question. I'm gonna do something different. I'm gonna 270 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: say all the quarterbacks in the a f C South. 271 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is you've got Ryan 272 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: tanney Hill, Matt Ryan, and Dave's Mills. It's not in 273 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: the elite group. Well, and they are capable, I mean not. 274 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: Ryan tanney Hill has turned in you know, Matt Ryan's 275 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: playing in a Super Bowl. Ryan tanny Hill has uh 276 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: stabilized that that franchise. When Derrick Henry was healthy, he 277 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: was he was a bear to deal with. But when 278 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: we look at Trevor Lawrence and think of an ascending 279 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, there is are a lot of people who 280 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: believe he's the most talented quarterback in the division. How 281 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: soon can he be the best quarterback in the division? 282 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: Can he start winning these matchups by the end of 283 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: the season. Are we looking at him and saying, you 284 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: know what, he was the best quarterback in the division. 285 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: That's why they competed so I'm looking forward to see 286 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: how he stands up against a group of quarterbacks they 287 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,599 Speaker 1: didn't theory at least, I don't think he should be 288 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: number four out of that bunch by the end of 289 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: the season. I don't wear he'll rank, but he should 290 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: start ascending in that. I think that will be a 291 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: key to how the season plays out. And you know what, 292 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: I don't mind that answer. Answer, I just leave the show, 293 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: give it to you. I'll go with Justin Herbert, who 294 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: I You know, the Jaguars were interested in him a 295 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: couple of years ago and he did not slide far 296 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: enough for them. If if he had, they might not 297 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: have Trevor Lawrence at this moment, because I don't know 298 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: I think they would. You're you're talking about a big, 299 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: strong guy. You really think they would have passed on 300 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. You're saying, if they drafted Justin Herbert, would 301 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: they still have drafted Trevor laws They wouldn't, right, would 302 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: be said, Um, the guy is just he's an absolute stud. 303 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a great, big, strong and guy who 304 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: can deliver the ball down the field, and the Chargers 305 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: have built a team around him. He's got receivers he's 306 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: got offensive lineman. Um. I think that the Chargers could 307 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: be good enough this year to win the a f C. 308 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: UM And I was a fan of the kid when 309 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: he was at Oregon, and I'm anxious to see him in. 310 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: What you've got is, you know, two guys. If Trevor 311 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: Lawrence is who we think he is and Justin Herbert 312 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: continues to be who he has been, you've got you know, 313 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: you've got Ben Roethlisberger versus Peyton Manning. I mean, you've 314 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: got that marquee kind of matchup. Um. Of course, you 315 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: can say that about a lot of quarterbacks because the 316 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: a f C is loaded right now. But I think 317 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence has the name, UM, and Herbert obviously has 318 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: the results so far. It could be a special matchup. 319 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: Herbert's a guy you I'm sorry that you keep waiting. 320 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: Not keep waiting. He didn't playing the lead that long, 321 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: but has put up incredible numbers, makes that team very competitive, 322 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: and yet hasn't quite gotten them to where you thought 323 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: at the end of season last year, you thought they'd 324 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: win that last game and getting the playoffs. So it 325 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: hasn't quite gotten that. So I think nationally this is 326 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: a big year for Herbert in that sense. They need 327 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: to get to the playoffs in year three. And and 328 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: I'm not any way calling him under achiever in that sense. 329 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: It's not that because he's not. I think he's really good. 330 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: I would you know, he's one of the two or 331 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: three quarterbacks that I would want if I was starting 332 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: a team. Uh. But there is that thing. They haven't 333 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: quite had that record. Uh And with my homes doing 334 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: in the second year, that's sort of the standard. Now 335 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: you want to get there as this guy. So I 336 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: think it's a big year for Herbert. I love the kid. 337 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: I think he's the guy. And you know, they're playing 338 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: in the shadow of the Rams, right the Super Bowl 339 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: champions in a huge market, and they they have not 340 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: the Chargers have not been on national television in prime 341 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: time games, but in that market, with that quarterback, they're 342 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: not far away from being a you know, three or 343 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: four primetime game kind of team. So this is the 344 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: litmus tester they get over that this year. And by 345 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: the way, you know, it's some point you know, Matt 346 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: Stafford is going to retire and the Chargers are going 347 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: to surpass the Rams because they've got that long term 348 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: solution at quarterback. Yeah. I mean you can only keep 349 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 1: up the roster of the Rams at some point for 350 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: so long. At some point guys start to retire, get old, 351 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: get hurt. But that kid in l A gives the 352 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: Rams a chance, the Charges a chance to best the 353 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: Rams and be the marquee team in the Ram Zone stadium. 354 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: That'll be fun, very true. Okay, ashlass numbers. Who I 355 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: know this is a little vague, so bear with me. 356 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: Who do you still have questions about for this year? 357 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: This can be in the broadcast office, this could be 358 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: in wait hold answer questions about a question about sitting 359 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: on my right Um. Okay, you guys are quick. What 360 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: you got? Well again, I'm a little I would say, 361 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: oh the above, um, And by that I mean we 362 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: think we know a lot about this team. I think 363 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: the offensive line is going to be better. I think 364 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: the defensive front is going to be better with Traylon Walker. 365 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: But you're talking about an offseason, the unbelievable transition around 366 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 1: this team in the last two years, pretty much an 367 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: entirely new defense within the last two years. You have 368 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: a new coaching staff, new offensive line coach. I don't 369 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: know who's gonna line up whirred offensive tack. I assume 370 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: sure it's going to be a right guard, and I 371 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 1: assume that Cam's gonna get left tackle. Beyond that, I 372 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: don't know. I think they're better. But what's it gonna 373 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: look like running back? How healthy is James Robinson gonna be? 374 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: What's that gonna look like? Receiver? They're more confident than 375 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: receivers and a lot of people are, so there's a 376 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: there's a huge amount of questions. I guess I would say. 377 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: What I still don't know is how good is the 378 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: pass rush going to be? I believe the interior, the 379 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: defensive line, and the run stuffing is gonna be much 380 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 1: much better. I have faith that Lloyd Walker Muma are 381 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 1: gonna make that area so much better that overall this 382 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: is going to be a more stout and therefore a 383 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: better pass rush. But are they going to be a turnover, disruptive, 384 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: creating defense. The potentials there. If they are, they're a 385 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: much better team. That's my question. I'm gonna stay with 386 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: the spirit of the question again and answer just one um. 387 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: But it plays into what John was saying, and I'm 388 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: going with right tackle. Now it's more of a who 389 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: in this case than a what or which, because I'm 390 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: not talking about the position as much as I am 391 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 1: of Juwan and Walker. Um. I mean, I really believe 392 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: what I saw from Little last year was a rising 393 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: player with great skills, movement, mobility. He wasn't ready to 394 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: take the starting job from Cam. I mean, they just 395 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: paid Cam, so clearly they thought Cam was a better player. 396 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: But at this point, that competition, to me, is going 397 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: to talk a lot about how the offensive line shifts out. 398 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: Does Does the loser of the right tackle competition become 399 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: a guard right? Or is that the swing tackle? How 400 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: does that envelope the depth? And obviously, as John mentioned, 401 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: there's two guys you know where they're going right, so 402 00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: you got a battle at center. You gotta figure it 403 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: at it. Right tackle and left guard could be Ben Bartch, 404 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: who played pretty well last year, and it is a 405 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: guy that they have groomed and developed. But with a 406 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: new coaching staff, you don't know, well, we don't like 407 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: the kid there, we think you should be here whatever. Um, 408 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: I think that right tackle position is a lynchpin for 409 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: how the offensive line rules out, and so that's the 410 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: question that I have. Yeah, I see with both Ben 411 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: Bartch at right guard. You can't really put that sentence 412 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: one because just like you said, if Jowan Taylor loses 413 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: that job and then shifts over, does he win the 414 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: job over Ben Bartch? And it's kind of like that 415 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: will shake out everything well, and look it's easy to 416 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: go what you just put the loss of that competition. 417 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: He becomes a guard? Will you never played guard? So 418 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: there's gonna have to be some guard reps, you know, 419 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: on on the O t a field, and we'll probably 420 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 1: have to talk about that. Um, we'll see that right 421 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: tackle position is going to be important. Lots of questions 422 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: actually asked number three if you could give these rookies 423 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: one piece of advice, what would it be? They're coming 424 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 1: in here, moving to Jacksonville this weekend, find the bathroom, 425 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: cafeteria something. I have a feeling that Brian's going to 426 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: say something about investing money. Am I wrong? Yes? What 427 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: you say? Hydrate, hike, That's the most important thing for 428 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: a young player, especially guys who have not played in 429 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,959 Speaker 1: the South in in the summer. Hydration is really important. 430 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: And they'll learn that otherwise they'll be on the I 431 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: V at halftime. Right y, all right? I was going 432 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: to put an expletive in here a bit. Shut up, 433 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: just that's not nice. Shut up. And for a guy 434 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: who asked questions, you don't want them to answer, you know, 435 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: not to the meet. It's fine to talk to the media, 436 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: but when you're around the veterans, when you're on the coaches, 437 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: shut up and listen. And most of them do. But 438 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: the point is, this is a different sport than you 439 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: have played before. This is a different game. UH. Surviving 440 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: and thriving is about knowing what to do. Listen to 441 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: the veterans. Josh Allen knows what he's talking about. Kill 442 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 1: Griffin is what he's talking about. There are guys at 443 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: every level of this defense and offense that know what 444 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: they're doing and have survived, UH and have thrived. Shut 445 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: up and listen to those guys, and you'll make it 446 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: fine in the NFL. But it's a short career, so 447 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: listen quickly and get it. Get into the routine. Listen 448 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 1: how these guys prepare. That's the number one thing. If 449 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: you start taking advantage and doing things the right way quickly, 450 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: you can stand in your career a long time. Yeah, 451 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 1: and you stand out right away. We've seen guys like 452 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: that for sure, and that is Astal asked. When we 453 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: come back, we look into the schedule that is coming 454 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: out this Thursday home and away games.

We are act 461 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: Jaguards Drive kind discussing the big news that Tom Brady 462 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: will go into the Fox family when he retires, and 463 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: I love that he hasn't retired, but he alre he 464 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,239 Speaker 1: has a job lined up for him. Yeah, and when 465 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 1: you consider how much money Troy Aikman is making as 466 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: the analyst for Money Night Football for ESPN, you gotta 467 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: figure that Tom Brady can command as much as he wants. 468 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: My question is will he be good at it? I mean, 469 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: will will this be something? He's a natural? Let people 470 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: made the mistake with Joe Montana when he went into 471 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 1: the booth back in the early nineties after he retired. Well, 472 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: he's the greatest quarterback of all time, which he was then, 473 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: and they said it would be great to have him 474 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: and and he wasn't good. The greatest quarterback of all time. 475 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: That's what people were saying about Joe Montana in the 476 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: early nineties. Yeah, you know that, Okay, Joe Montana. You said, 477 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: Joe namean do na? Yeah, okay, I got David Carr 478 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: and Derek Carr, Joe Montana because his name is is good. Yeah, right. 479 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: Joe Montana went into the booth after he left. He 480 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: was not very good in a broadcast role. He didn't. 481 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: But I don't think you ever got the idea with 482 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: Montana when he played that he was particularly funny or engaging. Uh, Brady. 483 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: Since he's left the Patriots, Uh, when you see him interviewed, 484 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: when you see him has relaxed a little bit with 485 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: a sense of humor. I think it's important in the booth, 486 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: so I ain't gonna be good at it. And unfortunately 487 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: for him, having that job means he wanted to worry 488 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: about money when he gets out of football. So good 489 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: for him, I was, you know, yeah, he was worried. 490 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure good for Tom. Yes, absolutely. Let's look at 491 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: this home and away schedule will have the dates as 492 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: of Thursday, but we know at least when we're traveling 493 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: and who's coming here. So let's look at home opponents first. 494 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: Outside of the Division, Cowboys, Giants, Ravens, and Raiders. What 495 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: stands out here, Fellas, I think that that Ravens game, 496 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 1: certainly at home, is a is a difficult one. Well, 497 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: that's the home game that I'm most eager to see, 498 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: right because two years ago the Jaguars went to Baltimore 499 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: and did not show. Well, it was and it was 500 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: the COVID year and all of that, but um, that's 501 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: a marquee quarterback and they had another great draft that 502 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: is as well run an organization as you'll find anywhere 503 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: in the NFL. So that's a great barometer. I mean, 504 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: I don't know whether it's early in Week one, so 505 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: it's hard to say, well, we'd be able to match him, 506 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: but at some point in the season, you you kind 507 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: of match yourself against a team like that. Well, it's 508 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 1: a tough schedule. Mean, you're talking about at home, Dallas, Baltimore, 509 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: Denver and the Raiders, and at least one of those 510 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 1: teams of the you know, of the three in the division, 511 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: there's a playoff team last year, and and the Colts 512 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: would have been if the Jaguars not beat him. It's 513 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,479 Speaker 1: a really tough schedule at home that you know, if 514 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 1: they don't play well, they're gonna have a tough time 515 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 1: winning up. So the Giants are the one team that 516 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: looks quote unquote gettable. But if you ask me if Dallas, Baltimore, 517 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: Denver or the Raiders of being the playoffs, I'd say 518 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: three of them will be YEA very true. And then 519 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: you look at this away schedule, Commanders, Jets, Lions, Kansas City, 520 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: Chargers and Philly going to Kansas City and Los Angeles 521 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: Mahomes and Herbert on their turf. Yes, that again great 522 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: measuring stick. You know how far have we come? How 523 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: far do we have to go? And the Doug Peterson 524 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: going Philly again because the writer is up there. Uh, 525 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: they have an affinity for Doug is a likable guy 526 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: and it will be played up. And I can't imagine 527 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: that Philly fans truly hate Doug Peterson. In Vegas, we 528 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: were sitting right across from from folks from the Eagles, 529 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: right and they did nothing but rape. How do you 530 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: like dogs? Isn't he great. What has he done? He 531 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: I think he's beloved in Philadelphia. Yeah, you get it. 532 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: I mean, if you get a fan base of Super Bowl, 533 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: you're typically uh so. I think that would be an 534 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,199 Speaker 1: interesting They'll certainly be rooting for the Eagles, but I 535 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,239 Speaker 1: think it'll be cool for Doug to go to that stage. Um, 536 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: and I'm sure we'll be cheered and welcomed. It will 537 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 1: be a cold moment, Yes it will. And that is 538 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: a look at the schedule. Will have the dates as 539 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: of Thursday. The schedule leaves show later on Thursday night. 540 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: When we come back some closing thoughts, you know the 541 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: Jaguars Digital Network. We're back Jaguars Drive Time Tuesday Morning, 542 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: brought to you by Jet Home Loans Rookie Mini Camp 543 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 1: this weekend. On Friday, we will be back out on 544 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: the field. Trayvon Walker, Doug Peterson, and Chad Muma will 545 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: be talking to the medium. I kind of like that, 546 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: just throwing Chad moving right into it day one. I 547 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: think it says a lot about what they think he 548 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: could be. Well, he'll be fine with it. I I 549 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: talked to the defensive coordinator there and his name escapes me, 550 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: and I apologize I'm sure the defense corners watching um 551 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: coordinator of Wyoming and as you would expect, nothing but 552 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: praise in terms of the kids approach, in terms of 553 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: what kind of kid the jay Wars are getting. Uh So, 554 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure that press conference will go well. What I 555 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: want to learn from him? Are they shutting up and listening? 556 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 1: You should ask that her very he's shutting up yet 557 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: it's answer what you look for more than details is 558 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: it's sort of had to handle themselves in that situation. Brian, 559 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: I'm eager to see how Walker, Trayvon Walker handles himself 560 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: just with the weight of being the number one pick. 561 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 1: You know, there was there was something in a column 562 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,959 Speaker 1: yesterday about Courtney Brown and making a comparison and former 563 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: first round pick, and you know, the kid's going to 564 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 1: be judged for having been the first round pick. He 565 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: could be a really, really good player, and people are 566 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: still going to question whether he was worth the number 567 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: one overall pick. That's a lot of weight for someone 568 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: to carry. So I'm just kind of anxious to get 569 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: a feel for how, you know, how he feels and 570 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: what he thinks about it and what his approaches. And 571 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure we can predict what he's going to say, 572 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: but you want to hear him say it. From what 573 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: we have seen so far, he's the company man that 574 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: knows how to do this. He was on a big 575 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: draw to defense and isn't say from this I think 576 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: he's going to be a really, really good player. It's 577 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: just in today das day and age, with the twenty 578 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: four news cycle and all the social media sites, some 579 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: people won't give him a break for that. They'll say, well, 580 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: I mean, at twelve sacks, you're number one of you 581 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: should have fifteen. I mean, there's gonna be that kind 582 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: of stuff. He'll constantly be asked about heaven ship on 583 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: his shoulder and he'll constantly now he doesn't and he will. 584 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: So that's just the story, and that is jaguarys Drive Time. 585 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: You can watch those press commers as we just talked 586 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: about on Jaguars dot com on Friday and Saturday Live 587 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: and we will be back with you next Tuesday here 588 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: on Jaguars Drive Time.
