Speaker 1: It is Thursday August. This is jack Bars Happy Hour,
Speaker 1: and now a guy who says he still sees okay,
Speaker 1: yet the fund keeps getting bigger. Jay Peace Shadrick. Time
Speaker 1: marches on and I am due a visit to the optometrist.
Speaker 1: Welcome in its Jaguars Happy Hour on this Thursday afternoon's
Speaker 1: preseason week three. My name's J. P. Shadrick. We've got
Speaker 1: a busy show ahead. A quarterback has been named for
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. We'll hear from Trevor Lawrence and get
Speaker 1: his thoughts of being named the starter for the Jags.
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer as well. The offense is still looking for
Speaker 1: the end zone, at least the starting offense. They have
Speaker 1: not found Paydhurt in the preseason. They would like to
Speaker 1: find Patrick before the preseason is over. We'll hear from
Speaker 1: Trevor on that as well. A little defensive talk come
Speaker 1: up later the preseason week three approach, especially after the
Speaker 1: injury to Travis E t and Junior. Does it change
Speaker 1: it all for urban Meyer? All signs point to know.
Speaker 1: We'll hear from the head coach on that. Also. Jeff
Speaker 1: Logman joins us at four fifteen today. We'll get his
Speaker 1: thoughts on everything going on. Network coverage of Jaguars Happy
Speaker 1: Hour at five o'clock will also here again from Jeff
Speaker 1: Darlington who joined the Jags drivetime show this morning, and
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks earlier this week Jaguars analyst, and get his
Speaker 1: thoughts on what the Jags should do or could do,
Speaker 1: or might do or might not do. Now without Travis E.
Speaker 1: T n around, let's get to today's news. The Jags
Speaker 1: back on the practice field again today, the final official
Speaker 1: training camp practice, in the last one open full time
Speaker 1: to the media that were assembled today. Tomorrow, it's only
Speaker 1: open for thirty minutes at the start of practice and
Speaker 1: that will be the regular game week routine that starts
Speaker 1: tomorrow on the practice fields here. Last the game prep
Speaker 1: week started for the Jaguars, so they were looking at
Speaker 1: the other teams, um you know, doing offense defense against
Speaker 1: the other team's scheme or some sort of scheme of
Speaker 1: preseason scheme. Same idea this week for Urban Meyer and
Speaker 1: the coaching staff installing some plans against the Cowboys. Looks
Speaker 1: in practice they haven't found the end zone yet are
Speaker 1: they're starting offense? Of course, the approach this week likely
Speaker 1: to see some time from the starters early. It feels
Speaker 1: like find some success and then maybe getting the end
Speaker 1: zone and get them out of there. And it sounds
Speaker 1: like Urban feels the same way, even with E. T
Speaker 1: n s injury the other day on Monday night. You know,
Speaker 1: once a players game ready, he said, it's done for
Speaker 1: the preseason for them. But then he listed only about
Speaker 1: four or five players that were game ready. I means
Speaker 1: there's about seventy five others that I guess are not,
Speaker 1: and you will see a good amount of those on
Speaker 1: Sunday in Dallas when the Jaguars faced the Cowboys. The
Speaker 1: biggest news this week, of course, Trevor It's name the
Speaker 1: starting quarterback by head coach Urban Meyer. The announcement came
Speaker 1: down Wednesday officially in Urban explained, I did, but you
Speaker 1: know it's, uh it's a three week preseason as opposed
Speaker 1: to four we do out of bye week afterwards. But
Speaker 1: I think, um, as we continue, it's uh matter of
Speaker 1: a little bit of repetition now. So we wanted him
Speaker 1: to earn it, as we do with every position we
Speaker 1: felt he has. After the last nice performance was uh,
Speaker 1: it was good, obviously not great, but we you know,
Speaker 1: didn't run the ball very well. But but I kind
Speaker 1: of my mind had that as after the second preseason
Speaker 1: that we kind of have to to get someone ready
Speaker 1: to play in three weeks. Yeah, three weeks away, one
Speaker 1: more week of prep to go, getting ready for a
Speaker 1: game this Sunday, and then two weeks down. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure the practice schedule yet in the dead period or
Speaker 1: if you will, between the final preseason game and regular
Speaker 1: season week one, you know, it'll be likely that the
Speaker 1: week of week one Monday, tuesdays of players off day
Speaker 1: and then Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, But the week before that
Speaker 1: is the one that's a little bit up in the
Speaker 1: air still. Either way, it's three weeks to get him
Speaker 1: ready now for week one, starting with the prep this week.
Speaker 1: Of course, Trevor Lawrence, as you would expect, it was
Speaker 1: excited to move forward. Yeah, it was good man. We
Speaker 1: talked about r qb room and um Man. We just
Speaker 1: have a we have a great group, so I'm really
Speaker 1: excited for the opportunity. It doesn't really change anything though,
Speaker 1: still got the same task in front of us. Got
Speaker 1: to get a lot better um individually, as a team,
Speaker 1: as an offense. So just looking forward to going to
Speaker 1: work this week. You know, bring some clarity, which is
Speaker 1: nice going forward, but it really doesn't change much. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm really excited for the opportunity, grateful for it. Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence on Monday night made his Jaguars national TV debut,
Speaker 1: if you will, and went fourteen thirteen yards. He was
Speaker 1: sacked once to seventy three point three rating, ran one
Speaker 1: time for nine yards and was kind of helicopter down
Speaker 1: like John Elway. It felt like on that play it
Speaker 1: was third down. He wanted to get that first down.
Speaker 1: He said, you can, and you can argue that one
Speaker 1: all day. It's the preseason, but that's Trevor for you.
Speaker 1: He's gonna go after it. And so far in two
Speaker 1: games four yards through the year, he's been sacked three
Speaker 1: times in the preseason. He was hit a good bit
Speaker 1: in last week's Game two, and that was a little
Speaker 1: bit of a concern obviously after the game. I think
Speaker 1: he was officially hit by the Saints defense four times
Speaker 1: in the in the book after the game, I think
Speaker 1: he was pushed another time, sacked once hit on that run,
Speaker 1: so it took a little bit of contact last week.
Speaker 1: The other really big news this week, of course, running
Speaker 1: back Travis Etn Jr. Is now done for the year.
Speaker 1: He's on injured reserve, reported to be a list frank
Speaker 1: issue and his left foot requiring surgery. And it's obviously
Speaker 1: significant because he's down for the year. Urban Meyer discussed
Speaker 1: his absence Wednesday. That was a shot jaw, that one. UM,
Speaker 1: it was really coming on in practice and we're he
Speaker 1: saw his big playability and pregnant not in the game yet, UM,
Speaker 1: tough injury. How do we fill that? You know, we're
Speaker 1: still in that conversation right now. Now in the second
Speaker 1: hour of Jaguars Happy Hour today, we'll hear from NFL
Speaker 1: media analyst Bucky Brooks and Jaguars Dot Com senior writer
Speaker 1: John Osier and get their thoughts off yesterday's Huddle Up
Speaker 1: show and discuss how the Jackson either fill that role
Speaker 1: or figure out something else and and what the options
Speaker 1: could be for that running back slash weapon position that
Speaker 1: irb Meyer had in mind with E. T N who
Speaker 1: is no longer around, a big blow for this offense.
Speaker 1: Now to the final piece of the offense in the
Speaker 1: preseason scoring points, namely touchdowns. They haven't done that with
Speaker 1: the first team yet in the first two preseason games
Speaker 1: and the quarterback says all is, well, don't panic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's frustrating, but also we just gotta
Speaker 1: stick together and keep playing. Um, we're gonna figure it out.
Speaker 1: And I'm really confident in that. So we got a
Speaker 1: bunch of guys that are that are putting the work
Speaker 1: in that we're gonna do everything it takes to to
Speaker 1: get on the right track. So you know, I'm confident
Speaker 1: that I'm not worried. Obviously you'd like to score more
Speaker 1: points than we have for sure, but all stuff that
Speaker 1: we can build on and we know we need to
Speaker 1: get better at. So it's just a matter of doing
Speaker 1: it and going out there. And Praximate urban Meyer was
Speaker 1: a little more straightforward and to the point than Trevor
Speaker 1: on this instant, saying, we need to score some damn points.
Speaker 1: And that was the sentence that rban Meyer said the
Speaker 1: other day when he was asked about it. Obviously, it
Speaker 1: will be a focus this week to get some success
Speaker 1: early and get in the end zone. And they did
Speaker 1: have a couple of sustained drives right before halftime last week,
Speaker 1: which was good to see, and they settled for field
Speaker 1: goal of one of the times and then missed a
Speaker 1: field goal another. Let's move over to the defensive side
Speaker 1: of the football now. The Saints offensive scores, of course,
Speaker 1: scored twice with their starting group, with Jamis Winston making
Speaker 1: the start. Taysom Hill got some time later with the
Speaker 1: first team. In that game, Marquest Callaway caught two touchdown
Speaker 1: passes with incredible catches. Both times the coverage wasn't too bad,
Speaker 1: but they just couldn't fit in at the moment of truth,
Speaker 1: Shaq Griffin in the front left corner of the end
Speaker 1: zone and then later Griffin and Tyson Campbell in the
Speaker 1: middle of the end zone. Safety ray Shawn Jenkins is
Speaker 1: in that defensive backfield as well for the Jaguars, and
Speaker 1: he enters his fifth NFL season, And we heard from
Speaker 1: him after the game in New Orleans and he was
Speaker 1: asked what he really looks for in teammates during training camp.
Speaker 1: My thing is in the preseason, I'm looking more for
Speaker 1: um you know, like Warriors or or you know, those
Speaker 1: dogs that I need to really just um um uh
Speaker 1: have on my team. In the preseason, you know, there's
Speaker 1: not a lot of plays being called. Um You've got
Speaker 1: so many guys in so you just never you don't
Speaker 1: know who's here or who's not, you know, so it's
Speaker 1: just a filling out process right now. Um I it's
Speaker 1: a huge difference from now to the regular season. I mean, Wade,
Speaker 1: a huge difference, you know. So, I mean, uh, we
Speaker 1: still got some work to do. But at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, you know, we're still trying to just
Speaker 1: fit in those missing pieces right now, and um you know,
Speaker 1: preseasons are perfect time to do that. He's one of
Speaker 1: the players that Herbert Meyer listed as game ready the
Speaker 1: other day, so you might not see much of Rayshon
Speaker 1: Jenkins this Sunday in Dallas against the Cowboys. The other
Speaker 1: safety spot, though, is still up for grabs. In the
Speaker 1: latest depth chart, there are still those four co number
Speaker 1: ones that was as of Tuesday. At least. We'll discuss
Speaker 1: all that coming up with Logovan here in just a
Speaker 1: little bit. It is the last chance this week for
Speaker 1: players to show something on tape. The bubble guys on
Speaker 1: the roster. It's a huge week for them because it's
Speaker 1: their last opportunity and then we'll see what happens. The
Speaker 1: final cuts from eighty down to fifty three are this
Speaker 1: coming Tuesday, with just a little less than two weeks
Speaker 1: to go until opening day, so uh as we said
Speaker 1: that battles should be solidified after this weekend at strong Safety,
Speaker 1: some other spots that are up for grabs. You know,
Speaker 1: as of the last depth chart on Tuesday. What kind
Speaker 1: of player though, does Urban Meyer want to see? He
Speaker 1: broke that down earlier this week. I just gotta keep swinging, man,
Speaker 1: We're gonna swing that. I just told them, I'm looking
Speaker 1: for fighters, and I'm looking for competitors. We will have
Speaker 1: a locker room full of competitors and I think we
Speaker 1: got a bunch of them, um, but I'm learning a
Speaker 1: lot about them, like they're a lot to learn a
Speaker 1: lot about us. Yeah, looking for fighters. Gotta keep swinging
Speaker 1: all that, and you gotta do a lot of different things,
Speaker 1: especially if you're on the bubble this week. And you know,
Speaker 1: if if you're on the bubble this week, you've probably
Speaker 1: performed at least pretty well the first couple of games.
Speaker 1: Those those reps certainly matter, I think a little bit
Speaker 1: more than the practice field reps. And then you gotta
Speaker 1: I think, step out and have a day on Sunday
Speaker 1: in Dallas. And it's not just in one spot, it's
Speaker 1: on special teams, too, and that's of a very great
Speaker 1: importance to Urban Meyer. What can you contribute, how much
Speaker 1: can you increase your value to this football team and
Speaker 1: to yourself? And we'll be watching that of course, this
Speaker 1: coming Sunday in Dallas. The final chance for a lot
Speaker 1: of these guys. Two it's a huge cut to I
Speaker 1: mean and now, of course last year is from ninety
Speaker 1: to fifty three and one big swoop. This year they're
Speaker 1: paring it down, you know, five, the first cut to
Speaker 1: eighty this past Tuesday, and then now the big one
Speaker 1: coming up this next Tuesday. And uh, it's it's a
Speaker 1: tough one, and it's the first time that Irban Myers
Speaker 1: really had to go through something like that. He talked
Speaker 1: about that a couple of weeks ago. The one this
Speaker 1: next Tuesday is the real big one, because these guys
Speaker 1: have been with you really the whole time through and
Speaker 1: you got to tell some guys that they're not good
Speaker 1: enough to make your football team. But one last chance
Speaker 1: under the bright lights this Sunday in Dallas. We've got
Speaker 1: putting ahead. We're just getting started on Jaguars Happy Hour.
Speaker 1: Jeff Laghman joins us. In a moment, we'll hear more

Speaker 1: young team. We played out standing. He's getting close to
Speaker 1: being game ready. Head Coch gurban Meyer earlier this week
Speaker 1: and welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy our Veterans Shoes v
Speaker 1: A for the benefits you've earned Shoes visit choose dot
Speaker 1: v A dot gov. JP Shadrick jeff Lockhaman joining us
Speaker 1: now here on the program. Good afternoon, Jeffrey j. P.
Speaker 1: It's a great day, man, it is a great day,
Speaker 1: and we're talking to Jaguar football. It's always a great day.
Speaker 1: And it's preseason week three, so we're getting ever closer
Speaker 1: to the regular season. That'll be a great day, I
Speaker 1: think once it's for real, um sure, And and it's
Speaker 1: a great day because today is the eleven and birthday
Speaker 1: of my beautiful dollar. Happy birthday. It's happy birthday to her,
Speaker 1: and she's an amazing young young girl and so excited
Speaker 1: to celebrate the day with her. It's pretty good. What
Speaker 1: kind of cake? I don't know. That's a good question.
Speaker 1: It's a good question. You need to work on that. Well.
Speaker 1: I'm sure her mom has got a cover, Sure she does.
Speaker 1: What does game ready mean to you? Urban just talking?
Speaker 1: I think it's self explanatory to some extent, but I
Speaker 1: think it also kind of goes to what the coaches
Speaker 1: confidence isn't a player, because that's from Urban's perspective, and
Speaker 1: he wants to have a comfort level with with the
Speaker 1: players to where he terms them game ready. Look as
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones nearly game ready. I mean, this is your
Speaker 1: ten for Marvin Jones. Not now he's game ready. He's
Speaker 1: not nearly game ready. He's ready to go. Is Urban
Speaker 1: Meyer game ready? That's a great question, right, I mean, well,
Speaker 1: I mean he hasn't he hasn't coached in the National
Speaker 1: Football League level, so he's probably not quite game ready yet.
Speaker 1: But I'm sure he's gonna be there at some point.
Speaker 1: But I think that that is just a term that
Speaker 1: he uses with his comfort level. And when it's a
Speaker 1: new team and it's a lot of new faces to him,
Speaker 1: you have to have a level of comfort with all
Speaker 1: of these players, and it's not hard. It's hard to
Speaker 1: achieve that, especially in the National Football League because you're
Speaker 1: limited on what you can do from a time standpoint
Speaker 1: and a number of practices standpoint, and you have a
Speaker 1: limited amount of preseason games. You don't have a track
Speaker 1: record with all of these guys. But yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's all personal perspective. The way he represents in my opinion,
Speaker 1: you know, it's the quarterback, Trevor Lawrence is the starter finally. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of fans, if you hear shot
Speaker 1: of the calls, are like, why don't they do this
Speaker 1: two weeks ago? This and that? Well, it's done now,
Speaker 1: and there are three weeks there were three weeks at
Speaker 1: that time until the regular season, and it's all Trevor now.
Speaker 1: I look, I I don't have any A lot of
Speaker 1: people seem to have like a big issue with that.
Speaker 1: He waited, right, That's strange to me. I don't understand,
Speaker 1: and I don't understand what the big deal is. I mean,
Speaker 1: you let players compete. Was he clearly going to be
Speaker 1: the starter? Maybe? But I think you also have to
Speaker 1: be able to allow the player to compete to show
Speaker 1: his teammates that he is the best option. Because I
Speaker 1: hate to say this, but I've I've been in the
Speaker 1: locker room, okay, where you have a new quarterback that
Speaker 1: comes in and the staff is all excited about him
Speaker 1: taking over the starting job, and the job gets given
Speaker 1: to him without any kind of competition or or a
Speaker 1: period of time to where the players that are gonna
Speaker 1: have to play with this guy can see it and
Speaker 1: believe it. And we were and we're gonna say, of
Speaker 1: this is, go ahead and do it because it's not
Speaker 1: a big It was in New York and we had
Speaker 1: we had Kenny O'Brien, who was a former first round pick,
Speaker 1: was our starting quarterback. We draft Brownie Nagle in the
Speaker 1: second round. Okay, the first year Brownie Nagle sits to
Speaker 1: watch year two Brownie Nagle comes in. They hold Kenny out, okay,
Speaker 1: to allow Brownie Nagle to take the job. And we
Speaker 1: were all like, he's not as good as Kenny. I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe eventually he will be, but look, we gotta win now.
Speaker 1: And it didn't happen that way. And I think the
Speaker 1: players resented it because there never was a competition and
Speaker 1: the job was handed to Brownie Nagle. And I think
Speaker 1: it's it's not good for the player's relationship to the
Speaker 1: person that gets handed the job. But with Trevor Lawrence
Speaker 1: wasn't handed the job. There was a period of time
Speaker 1: that to where they competed. It was very clear I
Speaker 1: think to everybody that watched, players, media staff that Rever
Speaker 1: Lawrence was the superior player. That's why he was the
Speaker 1: first overall picking the draft and so now by naming him, okay,
Speaker 1: now you've got three weeks to get him all the
Speaker 1: reps ready for the opener in Houston. I don't have
Speaker 1: any problem with it all. I don't think there was
Speaker 1: anything bad about it, and I've heard people say, oh,
Speaker 1: they should have been getting him all the reps anyway. Look,
Speaker 1: he still can take reps without actually participating in the play.
Speaker 1: For example, when Trevor Lawrence is taking the snaps, he's
Speaker 1: taken the reps. When Trevor Lawrence is not in the
Speaker 1: hunnele and not in their center, he has the call
Speaker 1: in his ear okame practice, Daryl Bebel uses the radio
Speaker 1: communication handset, so so the quarterbacks get used to that
Speaker 1: he hears the call well when he is sitting there watching.
Speaker 1: You can take mental reps, and sometime mental reps are
Speaker 1: better because it gives you a little bit different perspective
Speaker 1: than actually being there taking the snap and then executing
Speaker 1: it with yourself. So I don't have any issue with whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Jaguar is happy. R. J. P. Shaddick with Jeff law
Speaker 1: have been earlier this week. Logs. You guys were traveling
Speaker 1: back on Tuesday, so I jumped on Jaguars today with
Speaker 1: Mike Dempsey and two hours of that stuff, and a
Speaker 1: lot of those two hours, some of the calls were
Speaker 1: all the play calling is atrocious. In the preseason. On offense,
Speaker 1: it was work, right, I mean, is it they haven't
Speaker 1: scored points yet? I get that they would like to
Speaker 1: score touchdowns. Who doesn't three points in the first half?
Speaker 1: Are you concerned with that? The play calling and all?
Speaker 1: It's too early, right, it's preseason week to play calling.
Speaker 1: You can't look at play calling in the preseason and
Speaker 1: sit there and go what are we doing? And it's
Speaker 1: kind of my point there there is no game planning
Speaker 1: that happens in the preseason. Now, look, you're fair to
Speaker 1: criticize once you get to the regular season when they're
Speaker 1: when they're playing their calling play for downing distance and
Speaker 1: et cetera. In some cases in the preseason they have
Speaker 1: a script of plays that they're gonna run regardless of
Speaker 1: the down and distance. Now did they have that, I
Speaker 1: don't know, But I mean there's some teams that actually
Speaker 1: do it that way. Here's what we want to work on,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna call these plays because that's what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do. And so I'm not a big proponent of criticizing.
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing, g P, because this goes
Speaker 1: along the same lines. I got friends that you know,
Speaker 1: we all have a little group texting, you know. And
Speaker 1: of course the Jaguars come up occasionally and and and
Speaker 1: just like many people, they watch the preseason game and
Speaker 1: they're concerned, and look, I'm concerned. Uh, but I'm not
Speaker 1: freaking out o, thank you. And the reason why is
Speaker 1: that I've been on teams and I've watched teams that
Speaker 1: have been terrible in the preseason. Some of those terrible
Speaker 1: teams in the preseason keep that status quo when they
Speaker 1: get to the regular season they're not very good. But
Speaker 1: sometimes that's not what they look like. For example, the
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens have been undefeated for nineteen games now in
Speaker 1: the preseason, going twenty to break the record the all
Speaker 1: time record held by Vince Lombardies Packers. Okay, have the
Speaker 1: Ravens been undefeated throughout the preseason, No, but they've been
Speaker 1: really good. They've been really good. You can go look
Speaker 1: at some other teams in the National Football League that
Speaker 1: have been perennial losers. Some of them have winning records
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Is that an indicator of the performance
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen in the regular season. No, it is not.
Speaker 1: I mean that's here. I mean we've we've had some
Speaker 1: winning preseasons, and but you want to have them taste
Speaker 1: success and you want to see them have a rhythm.
Speaker 1: It's not like you need to see them go out
Speaker 1: there and score twenty Okay, are twenty one points in
Speaker 1: the first quarter and go you know, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown,
Speaker 1: drive about drive the ball and score once. Yes, I'm good,
Speaker 1: and it's uh, you want to see them get into
Speaker 1: some kind of rhythm. One of the main things it
Speaker 1: seems to be a problem with this offense right now
Speaker 1: is that they're just not finding any rhythm in the
Speaker 1: running game. And when you have a young quarterback, you've
Speaker 1: got to be able to have a running game that's
Speaker 1: going to help you out and give you some some
Speaker 1: semblance of balance. And right now in the preseason, the
Speaker 1: running game is not working. Is at the offensive line,
Speaker 1: is at the running backs, uh, whatever you want to
Speaker 1: call it, it's not working right now in the preseason.
Speaker 1: But at some point you've gotta have it work. They've
Speaker 1: got they missed six of their offensive line. The starters
Speaker 1: were out left tackle, left guards. But but you know
Speaker 1: the counterpoint that, Okay, the Cleveland Browns came in here,
Speaker 1: you know what, week and a half ago and did
Speaker 1: not start an offensive line. But uh, did they come
Speaker 1: out and run the ball effectively? Not really, okay, because
Speaker 1: the Jaguars defense did a good job. But they were
Speaker 1: able to move the ball with a second team offense
Speaker 1: against the first team defense. So I don't know, if
Speaker 1: you sit there and you go, Okay, well it's preseason,
Speaker 1: not well, you still want to see them runna But
Speaker 1: I don't care if they're missing a few starters or not.
Speaker 1: I mean, you still want to see them run the ball,
Speaker 1: because you know what, at some point during the regular season,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be missing starters, and those guys that step
Speaker 1: in like Ben Barts, like Walker Little, like they did
Speaker 1: last week, they're gonna have to be able to play well. Shatley.
Speaker 1: I mean, those guys shall have been a starter in
Speaker 1: this league before. I mean, there's there's nothing, no reason
Speaker 1: why they shouldn't have been able to run ball better
Speaker 1: than what they've been doing so far in both games.
Speaker 1: Plenty ahead, we've got some defensive talk when we come back. Logs.
Speaker 1: That's your side of the ball. I like it. I
Speaker 1: know you talked to Joe Colin today, did you? I did?
Speaker 1: Oh well, maybe you'll give us a little insight. Maybe
Speaker 1: maybe not, maybe not, we'll find out when we come back.

Speaker 1: you're along with us. Preseason Week three the Jags in
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys one o'clock Sunday at at and T
Speaker 1: Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Looking forward to that final full
Speaker 1: camp practice today officially, and they're back to a what
Speaker 1: would be a regular season media schedule at least to
Speaker 1: go watch for about twenty minutes them stretch that's going
Speaker 1: to be about it moving ahead, that's all right. I mean,
Speaker 1: look to the practice today was uppers, which you know
Speaker 1: after and I'm interesting because I don't know the exact
Speaker 1: rules how they work in the next two weeks. You know,
Speaker 1: you have rules that guide you once you get to
Speaker 1: the regular season as far as the number of padded
Speaker 1: practices that you're allowed to have. What is it for this,
Speaker 1: because it's this is new. Is this the in between window?
Speaker 1: What are the rules? How many times can you practice?
Speaker 1: You have two weeks? You know, how many days after
Speaker 1: the players have to have It's it's kind of new
Speaker 1: ground for the NFL here. But but I like the
Speaker 1: idea of having a two week window from the last
Speaker 1: preseason game to the first opening weekend. I guess you
Speaker 1: could say because in reality it's not two weeks away
Speaker 1: because the Thursday Night game starts well before, which I
Speaker 1: think is uh Tampa Dallas, and that the Thursday night game,
Speaker 1: which is like the opening night Thursday Night Football Dallas
Speaker 1: and Tampa Bay and Raymond James Thursday September nine, that
Speaker 1: the first big Sunday is the twelfth. Yeah, So in reality,
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's less than our exact exactly two weeks
Speaker 1: away from tonight, and that that'll be a good football
Speaker 1: game watching the Tampa Bay Bucks and the Cowboys that
Speaker 1: I ought to be good. Let's go to defense logs.
Speaker 1: You know, last week the starter's game up, a pair
Speaker 1: of Jamis Winston touchdown passes. Two nice throws by Jamis,
Speaker 1: give him credit. Decent coverage. The catches were incredible. I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean we're talking catches that were made that were Yeah,
Speaker 1: he had interference flags being thrown in. These catches are
Speaker 1: being made with the fenders draped on guys, and it
Speaker 1: was by Who's that guy? Mark was callaway man. He's
Speaker 1: apparently had a good camp in New Orleans and he
Speaker 1: was going against Shaq Griffin. I think, I mean, look,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the heck of a day for
Speaker 1: a young wide receiver that was undrafted. And and I'm
Speaker 1: sure people in New Orleans are going on, who's Michael
Speaker 1: Thomas who? I don't know if they're saying that, but
Speaker 1: but certainly been impressed with this young man because that
Speaker 1: one right there where he was interfered with from a
Speaker 1: young Tyson Campbell, which you'd like to see a heck
Speaker 1: of a better play than that that he had. But
Speaker 1: but I mean credit credit him the wide receiver from
Speaker 1: the Saints. He did a really good job, is there.
Speaker 1: You know, take us through those two touchdown plays though lugs.
Speaker 1: You know, it was pretty tight coverage on that. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the interference play, they got the flag, he still caught
Speaker 1: the ball. And then the one front left corner it
Speaker 1: was shot Griffin. Uh and still, as urban Meyer said
Speaker 1: in the post game to us, you just gotta finish
Speaker 1: the play. Well, Shack was involved with both of them. Okay,
Speaker 1: on one of them it was him alone. He's he's
Speaker 1: on an island. He's got to be able to cover it,
Speaker 1: and he's got to be a little bit more over
Speaker 1: the top. A couple of ways to accomplish that, get
Speaker 1: a better jam at the line of scrimmage, to interrupt
Speaker 1: the route in the timing, or to just be able
Speaker 1: to run faster. The other one where Tyson Campbell was
Speaker 1: a corner on the opposite side of the field because
Speaker 1: the safety had to what we call cut on an
Speaker 1: out route on the other side underneath of Griffin. Now
Speaker 1: Campbell has to replace the safety and run deep. And
Speaker 1: Campbell's there. They did a good job with plenty of time.
Speaker 1: But once again, when I talk to you about Tyson
Speaker 1: Campbell in the off season and gave you this guy
Speaker 1: and report on him, I said, this guy is the Shadow,
Speaker 1: and he is. That's your nickname. You've claimed it already.
Speaker 1: You you've cleared it through the Marvel people or Marvel
Speaker 1: as you call the people. You know. He's he's he's
Speaker 1: amazing as far as he can stick with anybody. But
Speaker 1: when the ball is in the air, that's when you
Speaker 1: need That's where the money starts to flow. That's where
Speaker 1: you need to make the play. And that's what Tyson
Speaker 1: Campbell had some struggles with at college and that's where
Speaker 1: he needs to show improvement here in the pros. If
Speaker 1: he can show improvement once the ball is almost there,
Speaker 1: this guy is is another worldly player now, I mean
Speaker 1: I'm serious. Now he can be if he can finish
Speaker 1: the If he had Cisco Okay, the draft pick, if
Speaker 1: he had his ball skills and finishing ability, this might
Speaker 1: be one of the best corners in the league period.
Speaker 1: But that's something that he doesn't have that he needs
Speaker 1: to get better at pass rush. No. Josh Allen last week,
Speaker 1: what do you what do you make of that I
Speaker 1: think that this is gonna be a team effort all year.
Speaker 1: And when I say that, they don't have a dominant
Speaker 1: inside pass rushuer JP who tell me who the three
Speaker 1: technique dominant pass rusher is with his it's tough right now?
Speaker 1: I mean Robertson Harris, maybe he's not a pass russ.
Speaker 1: How many sacks did he have last year? Ye? Not many? Zero? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So and he's an outside can I set the edge type?
Speaker 1: So he's a he's a three or four defensive end
Speaker 1: that you hope that he can find more of a ceiler,
Speaker 1: how a little higher ceiling. But I mean that's urban's term.
Speaker 1: You know, we want to find his ceiling. But the
Speaker 1: reality is he wasn't a big sack guy to pass. Now.
Speaker 1: Johad Ward, who we're looking that right here is I
Speaker 1: think is the best inside pass rusher they got. And
Speaker 1: he's a two d nine pound kind of journeyman. And
Speaker 1: I like him though, but I mean he plays hard,
Speaker 1: He's got a little slipperiness to him. He's big. He's
Speaker 1: you know, even though he's a linebacker and he wears
Speaker 1: a fifties number, he weighs about two pound maybe mid
Speaker 1: two eighties. And but besides that, could you get Von
Speaker 1: Hamilton's pushed the pocket a little bit, Yes, but I'm
Speaker 1: talking about a dominant inside pass rush or a really
Speaker 1: good inside pass rush. You don't have one. So somehow
Speaker 1: or another, they're gonna have to scheme a little bit
Speaker 1: and then hope that the edge players and Caleb and
Speaker 1: chays On and Josh Allen can find a way to pressure.
Speaker 1: And then when I would also put Smoot in that category,
Speaker 1: and Smooth can kick down and play a little free technique,
Speaker 1: and Smooth gives you great effort and he gives you
Speaker 1: a good solid play, but he's not a dominant pass rusher.
Speaker 1: So I think that's gonna be something that you know,
Speaker 1: we talked about it in the preseason games where are
Speaker 1: broadcasting that the defense has to find a way to
Speaker 1: make impact plays. Well, impact plays come from two areas,
Speaker 1: taking the ball away interceptions and then also pressuring the
Speaker 1: quarterback which causes a lot of those interceptions. So can
Speaker 1: you find out I think that that's gonna be kind
Speaker 1: of a work in progress all year long. But I
Speaker 1: really believe this defense can be really strong against run.
Speaker 1: When you're good and strong against run, you got a
Speaker 1: chance to be better against the past, you know. That
Speaker 1: was Another topic came up on Tuesday on on Jaguars
Speaker 1: Today was the run defense. And yes, the statistics in
Speaker 1: the preseason have been very good, right they they have
Speaker 1: stopped the run whenever it has been run at them.
Speaker 1: But consider this best run defense in the National Football
Speaker 1: League through two preseason games. This well, consider this, like
Speaker 1: the Browns didn't play any of their starters, right, a
Speaker 1: second team. The Saints didn't have Camarin back there. That's correct. Um,
Speaker 1: so how real is it? I'm not gonna I think
Speaker 1: it's a little early to say, hey, eureka, it's fixed
Speaker 1: the run defense. Let's see it in Really, it goes
Speaker 1: along the same lines of people saying that this offense
Speaker 1: is terrible. I mean it's look, it's preseason, okay. You
Speaker 1: don't overreact to the offense looking rough. And then you
Speaker 1: don't overreact to the Jaguars defense being the number one
Speaker 1: ranked team in the league against the running the preseason.
Speaker 1: People do, but they shouldn't. You take everything. There was
Speaker 1: a there was a term that was used by a
Speaker 1: former general manager here in. His name was Shack Harris,
Speaker 1: and he always said, he said, you know, the one
Speaker 1: thing you got to do sometimes is slow down, he said.
Speaker 1: And and sometimes you need to give yourself a speed
Speaker 1: and ticket to slow down, he said, because that, in
Speaker 1: other words, you don't overreact. You take everything with the
Speaker 1: kind of a little grain of salt and then kind
Speaker 1: of see if it repeats itself, and then you can say, Okay,
Speaker 1: well now we need to react because there's a pattern
Speaker 1: here and right now. There are no patterns in the
Speaker 1: preseason that typically can translate and roll right over into
Speaker 1: the regular season. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. We
Speaker 1: touched on some of the past rush and then the
Speaker 1: inside guys as we were talking on the practice fields today,
Speaker 1: and I brought up Caleb and Chase on on the
Speaker 1: Jahad Wards sack. It looked like he beat the left
Speaker 1: tackle and pushed the quarterback up in the pocket and
Speaker 1: Ward was there to make the sack. What kind of
Speaker 1: play did you see how to chase out? Overall on Monday?
Speaker 1: Not as good as he had against the Browns. I mean,
Speaker 1: he made that one play that was pretty good, but
Speaker 1: I mean, overall, I just thought it was just kind
Speaker 1: of okay. And here's probably one of the reasons why
Speaker 1: this is why you kind of great things on a
Speaker 1: scale in the preseason. Who did he face in the
Speaker 1: Cleveland game? Back up? Two backup tackles? Who did he
Speaker 1: face against the Saints Tehron Armstead and Ram Check. I mean,
Speaker 1: these are two upper echelon tackles in the National Football
Speaker 1: League and they did a great job. So, uh, it
Speaker 1: is what it is. And then here's the thing, the
Speaker 1: sack that Jowan got or what what offensive line was
Speaker 1: in at that point. Backups, It's true backups. Okay. So
Speaker 1: that's why I'm saying you kind of kind of just
Speaker 1: take everything with a little bit of a grain of
Speaker 1: salt and and and you look at the individual play.
Speaker 1: And that's why I think a lot of times when
Speaker 1: you when you watch the preseason game, I don't watch
Speaker 1: the scoreboard so much. For me, I'm watching the play.
Speaker 1: I'm watching individuals play because there's not a scheme so
Speaker 1: much involved, there's not game planning so much involved. And sometimes,
Speaker 1: for example C. J. Bethard looked amazing. Right, Look, here's
Speaker 1: the thing I will I will say, first of all, C. J.
Speaker 1: Bethard has warned the opportunity to compete for the backup
Speaker 1: and he you don't argue he's leading it and absolutely okay,
Speaker 1: But that's part of what you look at and the
Speaker 1: evaluation process. You also have to evaluate the day in
Speaker 1: and day out stuff and practice, etcetera. But if you
Speaker 1: have a quarterback that goes in at that stage of
Speaker 1: the game and c J is in what year? Now, JP,
Speaker 1: do you remember what yours? I believe? Okay? How about
Speaker 1: five fifth year? Okay? When you have a quarterback who's
Speaker 1: got some years under his belt in the National Football League,
Speaker 1: if he's playing in the fourth quarter of a preseason
Speaker 1: game and he doesn't look good, that ain't good. True,
Speaker 1: that's true. And and that's the one thing that you
Speaker 1: you will find that's consistent. If you're if you're ever
Speaker 1: thinking about gambling in the preseason, do they even take
Speaker 1: gambling bets in the preseason? Yes, if you're if you're
Speaker 1: a gambling person, look at the quarterback depth chart, and
Speaker 1: the teams that have the more veteran talent the backup
Speaker 1: quarterback positions take them for entertainment purposes only. Okay, folks. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying is that they they should have success,
Speaker 1: and they typically do have success because they're playing against
Speaker 1: some guys that may or may not be in the
Speaker 1: National Football League in two weeks. That's the way it
Speaker 1: is just saying. Speaking of we'll come back and discuss
Speaker 1: some of the cuts earlier this week, and it is
Speaker 1: a big week for those guys on the bubble and

Speaker 1: That'll be a good one time for the injury report
Speaker 1: presented by Baptist Health, changing healthcare for good not good
Speaker 1: news this week, the Dylan Moses still in the active
Speaker 1: non football injury list. As we say always, that feels
Speaker 1: like a long term solution injured reserve now Travis Eton Jr.
Speaker 1: Were they foot to injury reported to be list Frank
Speaker 1: and three wide receivers uninjured deserved Terry Godwin, Josh and
Speaker 1: Matta Baby and Tim Jones and on the reserve COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen lists currently Josh Allen and I believe he has
Speaker 1: to have two negative tests to be so that's going
Speaker 1: to be a little bit. He will be available most
Speaker 1: likely this week. A couple of things on that list,
Speaker 1: And first of all, Josh Allen, I hope that at
Speaker 1: some point he gets vaccinated. I mean, that's the one
Speaker 1: thing that's concerning about the players that are not vaccinated.
Speaker 1: There's a higher risk of them not being available on
Speaker 1: game days. And it's apparent I guess that you know that.
Speaker 1: I don't if he's un baccent our vaccinated, but if
Speaker 1: he's un baccinated, I hope he gets it. The Travis E.
Speaker 1: T N thing, Yeah, gotten a question a lot obviously
Speaker 1: since yesterday about what exactly can the Jaguars too can
Speaker 1: they do to replace Who's going to replace Travis E.
Speaker 1: T N. The answer is nobody. No, you can't replace
Speaker 1: a guy that has game breaking speed, that has big
Speaker 1: playability that catches the ball and it just doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why he was a first round pick,
Speaker 1: because he's a rare talent and it's a shame I
Speaker 1: feel for him. The List Frank injury is something that
Speaker 1: I had and it's one of the most painful things
Speaker 1: I've ever felt, injury wise, that I had in my career.
Speaker 1: And now to explain it, I don't want you to
Speaker 1: put your foot on the desk and show me, and
Speaker 1: I don't need that. But basically, it's between the big
Speaker 1: toe and the second toe kind of midfoot right it's
Speaker 1: on here, So it's not that big of a deal
Speaker 1: if you were if you were to touch the top
Speaker 1: of your arch, and I have fairly high archers, okay,
Speaker 1: but if you were to touch the top of the
Speaker 1: arch right there in that area lies the Liz Frank area.
Speaker 1: And my injury happened when uh, one of our one
Speaker 1: of my fellow defensive lineman got thrown to the ground
Speaker 1: and he landed and my foot, the toe was down
Speaker 1: in the ground and then the heel was up and
Speaker 1: he landed on the top of my my heel and
Speaker 1: it essentially compressed my foot. It tried to smash my
Speaker 1: foot so toes are up and it didn't hurt my
Speaker 1: toes like getting turf toe or anything, but it all
Speaker 1: the stress went to the middle of the foot. To
Speaker 1: that Liz Frank joined the Liz Frank if I if
Speaker 1: you google this, you'll, I think, find that a Liz
Speaker 1: Frank was named after m guy falls out of a
Speaker 1: uh uh. They found this injury come with people that
Speaker 1: fell out of their horse saddles because it's strained or
Speaker 1: sprained the middle of the foot, and Liz Frank, I
Speaker 1: guess with some guy used ride horses or something of
Speaker 1: that nature. But anyway, I will tell you that I
Speaker 1: missed the last four games of the season and the
Speaker 1: inaugural season here in Jacksonville. And then when I they
Speaker 1: didn't deem that surgery was necessary for mine. They wanted
Speaker 1: to rest it to see if that would cure it.
Speaker 1: So then I started. I actually did like nothing, no training,
Speaker 1: no running or anything until um through January February than
Speaker 1: March and then and at some point March started to
Speaker 1: come back and running and literally, JP, it's still hurts
Speaker 1: so bad. It took literally like four and a half
Speaker 1: five months for my foot to heal, and so we're
Speaker 1: talking about an elite running back that has elite speed.
Speaker 1: That's the one thing about foots. And I guess he's
Speaker 1: gonna have surgery, it was reported. So could he heal
Speaker 1: faster than that with surgery? I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor. I just played one on TV. Yeah,
Speaker 1: on I R before the season. So he's done for
Speaker 1: the year. But that's a pain. That's a painful, painful injury.
Speaker 1: And and I think he got kind of landed on
Speaker 1: in a pile. So that's what happened. We were looking
Speaker 1: at this today because he had that the pass out
Speaker 1: in the flat where he kind of slipped down awkwardly
Speaker 1: and then he kind of looked as he got up.
Speaker 1: It was an awkward and then he stayed in the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he stayed in and didn't seem to be blimping
Speaker 1: or anything. Right two plays later and the next place
Speaker 1: he's kind of running down the field. The play after
Speaker 1: that was a one yard run up the middle and
Speaker 1: he came out of that. That's where I'm wondering. Did
Speaker 1: somebody land on him in that? And it felt like,
Speaker 1: you know, that was the playoffso that Marvin Jones went
Speaker 1: off to the sideline and had his shoulder looked at,
Speaker 1: which is an A C spray, we found out later.
Speaker 1: So they didn't show E. T. N limping off on
Speaker 1: television because they were showing Marvin Jones at the time,
Speaker 1: so we didn't get to see exactly. I see my
Speaker 1: my thoughts, and I don't know this for a fact
Speaker 1: that when he went into that pile, somebody landed on
Speaker 1: his foot and that's what compressed it or uh impacted
Speaker 1: his foot. But yeah, that's it's unfortunate because you know,
Speaker 1: I looked. I mean this, we talked about this after
Speaker 1: the draft and that you know, you you want to
Speaker 1: have two positions for a young quarterback that are very capable.
Speaker 1: And those two positions are, first of all, besides the
Speaker 1: strong running game, I'm talking about in the passing game,
Speaker 1: the security blanket of a quarterback tight end which the
Speaker 1: tight end. People always refer to the tight end as
Speaker 1: kind of a security blanket because that's easy completions. Quarterback
Speaker 1: can take it and throw it to the tight end
Speaker 1: five yards or ten yards down the field. Big target, Okay,
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez, right, I mean called a million of those
Speaker 1: little little what we call choice routes or a little
Speaker 1: stick routes, whatever you want to call them. Well, if
Speaker 1: the tight end is not supplying those easy completions, what's
Speaker 1: what's the next best position? Put? The unique thing with
Speaker 1: E t N is that this is legitimate, world class
Speaker 1: speed on a football field that has great open field
Speaker 1: elusiveness that would have given this team a a hold
Speaker 1: your breath factor when he catches the ball in space.
Speaker 1: And at this point you're not gonna be able to
Speaker 1: find that because that is already signed elsewhere, and they
Speaker 1: don't let go of that. No, and and and some
Speaker 1: people said, well, what about Jamal Agnew Can he do that?
Speaker 1: Can Tavon Austin do that? Look? Can Philip Dorsett provide
Speaker 1: some of that as a wide receiver? Look? The reality
Speaker 1: is that some of these guys have been around and
Speaker 1: bounced around with different teams for a reason. And I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to criticize the players, because some players will
Speaker 1: bounce around the league and have different teams under their
Speaker 1: resume and still be really good players, not not great players,
Speaker 1: but good players. What you were looking for with E
Speaker 1: t N was greatness. When you draft somebody in the
Speaker 1: first round, you're looking for greatness and it's a shame
Speaker 1: that they lost him for the season. I hope he
Speaker 1: comes back strong, and I know who work hard to
Speaker 1: do that. Some cuts earlier this week, the Jacks had
Speaker 1: to be from eight five to eighty. On Tuesday, Durwin
Speaker 1: Gray and offensive lineman was cut. Jameson Houston, cornerback and
Speaker 1: defensive tackle Kenny Randall all gone. The Jacks later in
Speaker 1: the week claimed offensive lineman but Dara trey Or from
Speaker 1: the Bears and waved Garrett McGinn the offensive lineman. Trey
Speaker 1: Or is I saw him out there to dangle man
Speaker 1: six seven three twenty is what he's listed. He's about
Speaker 1: all of it. Well who he he replaced McGinn who
Speaker 1: McGain had a really rough game, I mean a rough
Speaker 1: game against the Saints. They you know, for almost all
Speaker 1: of training camp, McGain had been at right tackle and
Speaker 1: then because all of a sudden, Cam Robinson can't play
Speaker 1: Walker Little starts at left tackle. Now they need to
Speaker 1: back up to play left tackle. They move m again
Speaker 1: over and it just it was outmatched and so U
Speaker 1: you know he would be really good at so wrastling Again,
Speaker 1: have you've seen a guy a big, long hair guy. Right,
Speaker 1: he looks like the Undertaker. I'm serious, this guy needs
Speaker 1: he needs you know, football doesn't work out. Remember Austin
Speaker 1: past Tour that used to play here. Yeah, he he
Speaker 1: looked like one to me too. He did big nasty
Speaker 1: dude with long hair. JP. I'm just telling you Karat
Speaker 1: m again. He he might have a future in wrastling
Speaker 1: if he if football doesn't work out. The somebody from
Speaker 1: a E W needs to call him totally. He totally
Speaker 1: has that. That undertaker looked to him. Wow. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: he's a big guy. I mean, obviously he's a offensive
Speaker 1: line you know, an athlete. Yeah, they are battling for
Speaker 1: roster spots. This is the final chance for a lot
Speaker 1: of guys to get some things on tape. Obviously, the
Speaker 1: old cliche. There thirty one other NFL teams that doesn't
Speaker 1: work out here, you might find somewhere else to be.
Speaker 1: So that's a big cut from eight down to fifty
Speaker 1: three next Tuesday. And I'm sure there are a lot
Speaker 1: of guys that are anxious about their opportunity this Sunday. Well,
Speaker 1: and they should be. And what what you bring up?
Speaker 1: You bring up the word opportunity. This is the last
Speaker 1: opportunity for a couple of different things. It's it's the
Speaker 1: last opportunity for this team to have a game type
Speaker 1: situation to get ready for the regular season. It's also
Speaker 1: the last opportunity for some of these guys to get
Speaker 1: a look to show the coaches what they have. It's
Speaker 1: also a last opportunity for the coaches to see it
Speaker 1: because this is the last impression that will be on
Speaker 1: their imprinted on their minds is they're making the decisions
Speaker 1: over the weekend. So it's, uh, it's gonna be an
Speaker 1: interesting cut. I think there are going to be some
Speaker 1: very difficult decisions. I think at the safety spot, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a couple of players that are gonna get
Speaker 1: let go that are gonna be really good players. And
Speaker 1: other teams, if I'm watching, if I need a safety,
Speaker 1: well maybe like the Dallas Cowboys that have some issues
Speaker 1: with COVID and everything. If I need a safety, I'm
Speaker 1: looking right here in Jacksonville, and I'm I'm gonna find
Speaker 1: a guy that they cut that it can come in
Speaker 1: and start for me somewhere. So and that's I think
Speaker 1: also brings up that will teams watch the Jaguars maybe
Speaker 1: at certain positions. But this team will be watching other
Speaker 1: teams waiver work. Oh yeah, they will be absolutely looking
Speaker 1: to improve position groups through other teams cuts. And they
Speaker 1: get the first three weeks of the regular season to
Speaker 1: take advantage of the first choice because they were the
Speaker 1: worst team in the league last year. Better take advantage
Speaker 1: while you have it. If their opportunities to use it.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like you're gonna all of a a
Speaker 1: sudden you're gonna make the talent. Let's say you had
Speaker 1: a number rating system for talent, and let's say, you know,
Speaker 1: let's say you're at a sixty five. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: take your overall team level talent to like an eight.
Speaker 1: Yeah we're not. We're not playing Madden here, No. Because
Speaker 1: the guys that are getting cut, for the most part,
Speaker 1: are getting cut for reasons. But there are teams like
Speaker 1: the Jaguars that have at that safety services it might
Speaker 1: have a little surplus, and I think the teams that
Speaker 1: are smart find a way to manage the rosters to
Speaker 1: keep that talent together and then to find ways to
Speaker 1: utilize those players or to gain value from them just
Speaker 1: besides cutting them. You know, can you trade them to
Speaker 1: maybe acquire a player at another position that you're delink
Speaker 1: when at can you trade them to acquire a draft
Speaker 1: pick in the future. I mean, those are all things
Speaker 1: that are going to be considered. But make no mistake
Speaker 1: about it. Even though you think or okay, this player,
Speaker 1: they make cuts, Okay, they get down to fifty three,
Speaker 1: and the players that are on that fifty three are going, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I made it. You might want to just hang on
Speaker 1: for a minute because there will be more transactions that
Speaker 1: ensue because remember there's a lot of time between this
Speaker 1: weekend and opening weekend. Yes there is two weeks in fact,
Speaker 1: that'll do it. For our first hour of Jaguars Happy Hour,
Speaker 1: network coverage begins. More of logs and me coming up.
