1 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: Welcome into JAG's am our twelfth practice day. We're getting 2 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 1: things ready, We're getting things geared up for the first 3 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: preseason game of the year. We don't know who'll be 4 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: playing this yet, but I, for one, I'm very excited 5 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: to see some real football. Ky Nannie Stevens here, Brian Sexton, 6 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: John Oser with me. We are live outside at Jaguars' 7 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 1: training camp from the Miller Electric Center. Either I'm dead 8 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: inside or it's gotten a little bit cooler. 9 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 2: It's not deadly hot. It couldn't just be in my 10 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 2: I don't know what day does anymore because I am 11 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 2: dead inside. 12 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 3: Okay, so when they opened the door, there was a 13 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 3: wall of humidity that hit us. 14 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 4: But it doesn't feel so bad right now. 15 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: I'm being optimistic. Okay, there's not one hundreds, So it's 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: a win. Is describing training camp in Jacksonville, Florida. 17 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 4: This is a win. 18 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: Absolutely, we've had We're kind of a dog days of 19 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: it now, but we got a preseason game to talk about, 20 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: so that's exciting. And also I feel like we've seen 21 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: some progress in certain areas I want to talk about. 22 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: Let's start out with big thing Number one, which is 23 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: in command Trevor Lawrence looked great yesterday. We saw him 24 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: in the scrimmage operating really well with this new offense, 25 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: and we've talked about how he feels more comfortable out there. 26 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: Grant you. 27 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: Dinsky talked to us yesterday and he talked a little 28 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: bit about giving Trevor leniency, specifically if he makes a 29 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: mistake throws an interception to kind of move on from that. 30 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 5: It's the same mindset and approach with every snap, but 31 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 5: giving them the comfort and confidence to move on from 32 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 5: a throw like that, you know, to progress differently and 33 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 5: to learn from that mistake. I think with reps and 34 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 5: times he sees it, he recognizes the mistake and he'll improve. 35 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: That's in reference to interceptions through in the scrimmage on Friday, 36 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: Brian nothing gets the past. 37 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 2: Foe Stulf. 38 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody was particularly hard on Trevor, but 39 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: I feel like they've given him an ownership in this 40 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: offense to where his demeanor is a bit different and 41 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: we've seen his command of the offense. 42 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 4: It's his now, it is And the word that I 43 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 4: want to use with him is resilience. 44 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: Right, we talked about this team last year, John not 45 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 3: being a really resilient team. They didn't respond in the 46 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 3: fourth quarter in close games. But Trevor, after a admittedly 47 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,679 Speaker 3: underwhelming practice the day before, came out yesterday and owned it. 48 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 3: And he made a beautiful throw on the one headed 49 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 3: catch to Brenton Strange and then you know the run 50 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 3: to the right in the goal line where it was 51 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 3: a risky throw, but he put the ball on a 52 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 3: dime to Diamie Brown and I just I walked away 53 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 3: thinking Trevor has taken up big step forward. 54 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, and look, he didn't have a great practice on Monday, 55 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 6: but you don't have great practices every day. I don't 56 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 6: anticipate having a very good show today, but you guys 57 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 6: will pick me up right here, John, I'll come back 58 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 6: tomorrow and be a lot better. What you look for 59 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 6: from him during training camp is steady growth and it's 60 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 6: not going to be like this. It's going to be 61 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 6: And he had a day like this and then he 62 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 6: came back. Somebody asked me why. I thought that was 63 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 6: because he's human, right, So in the last four or 64 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 6: five days and Brian Kai, I think you feel this 65 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 6: as well. You've seen solid stuff from him. You feel 66 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 6: like overall this is a guy who's comfortable in what 67 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 6: he's doing. He knows what they're asking of him. He's 68 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 6: still working through the footwork stuff, but it has to 69 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 6: be expected. He's learning a new language and he's trying 70 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 6: to speak that language consistently all the time. Now I'm 71 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 6: more optimistic about him than I have been since Cincinnati 72 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 6: in twenty three when it all started going south. I 73 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 6: feel like he's back on track, I would agree. And 74 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 6: since you talked about footwork, Kay, I think the word 75 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 6: with him is traction. It feels like he's getting traction 76 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 6: with the offense. 77 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 3: And for what Liam's expectations are for him as the 78 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 3: leader of this team, I feel like he's rising to 79 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 3: the occasion. 80 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 2: Yes. 81 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: And when you talk about resiliency, I think just in 82 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: contrast to what we felt last year and just being 83 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: around the team, felt like you were waiting for the 84 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: pin to drop at every point, for something to go wrong, 85 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: and it doesn't feel that way. Obviously, we're going to 86 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: get to games soon, so we'll see how it goes, 87 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: but it doesn't feel like they're waiting for the other 88 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: shoot to drop anymore. Feels like they're in control of 89 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: their own destiny, which is a good place to be. 90 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: Let's talk about one of the weapons Trevor's been throwing too. 91 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: Our second big thing today is going to be high flying. 92 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: We talked a little bit about the wide receiver group 93 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: group yesterday, but Parker Washington has had a great training 94 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: camp so far, had one of his best days in 95 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: practice yesterday. Grant he don't see offensive coordinator talked a 96 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: little bit about. 97 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 5: And you see a guy who can win consistently against 98 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 5: man coverage and match coverage, tight coverage like that, make 99 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,559 Speaker 5: plays on the ball, tack the ball with his hands. 100 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 5: Those are encouraging for the play caller. They give you 101 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 5: comfort to give him isolation routes and put them in 102 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 5: different spots, just like we talked about Dyami's ability to 103 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 5: line up in different spots. 104 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 4: It trusts. 105 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 5: It allows you to trust Parker to be at different spots. 106 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:46,119 Speaker 4: On the field. 107 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 5: A guy goes down here, he can plug and place 108 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 5: at different spots and go and execute a wide route. 109 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 2: Treat John during training camp. 110 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: I feel like there's some days where maybe you don't 111 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: see a certain player, they don't really jump out to you. 112 00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: It feels like Parker's doing something every day where you. 113 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 6: Know, yeah, and look I'm not gonna say the whole 114 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 6: roster is there yet because you wouldn't expect it to 115 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 6: be in a regime change. Parker Washington third year looking 116 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 6: like this is what good franchises have all over the roster. Yes, 117 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,559 Speaker 6: he's a six round draft pick who in his third 118 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 6: year now is showing you that if there's a problem 119 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 6: somewhere at receiver, he can step in and they're not lost. 120 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 6: He shouldn't have been the number two guy last year. 121 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 6: You feel great with him as the number four, and 122 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 6: you feel like when he gets in there's no drop off. 123 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 6: There is real depth wide receiver on this team. I'm 124 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 6: not sure how many other places there are, but that's 125 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 6: an example of where you've got to get Brian. 126 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 3: They shall have to go do it on the field, right, 127 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 3: But if they're right about Theammy Brown at Travis Hunter, 128 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 3: we believe they are. Parker Washington is the guy who 129 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 3: makes this the deepest I've ever seen this wide receiver room. 130 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 3: I mean, even going back to Jimmy McKinnon, they struggle 131 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 3: to find the three. 132 00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 4: Now they may have a four. 133 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 3: Think about the flexibility John that that gives Liam Cohen 134 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 3: and Grant you Dinsky to be able to create mismatches 135 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 3: and to attack a defense. It's gonna be tough enough 136 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 3: to cover Travis Hunter in the slot. Now, what are 137 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 3: you gonna do with Parker Washington? I mean, yeah, it 138 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 3: really is. 139 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 4: He's right. This is the mark of a franchise that's 140 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 4: on the right track. 141 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 2: It's exciting. 142 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: Also, when we talked a little bit about wide receiver 143 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: five who that might be Trap's CTN is gonna be 144 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: a big part of this past game as well as 145 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: we've seen the usage. 146 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: So far in training camp. So that's exciting as well. 147 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: Don't want to forget our final big thing game prep. 148 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: We've got a preseason game on Saturday. We'll talk more 149 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: in depth about the Steelers coming to town. We do 150 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: not know if the starters will play, how long they 151 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: will play, what it's going to be, but we do 152 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: know this will be the first NFL head coaching game 153 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: for Liam Cohen as head coach Brian What can we expect? 154 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: What we're gonna learn a lot stylistically about how he's 155 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: gonna coach. 156 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 4: I don't know. 157 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 3: I just get the sense Kai and John that we're 158 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 3: not gonna see a whole lot. He's got the advantage 159 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 3: of not being in the position where he has to 160 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 3: show much. I think we're gonna see a lot of 161 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 3: the basics of what he expects, how he expects effort 162 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 3: and intensity and guys to play. He talked earlier this 163 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 3: week about not needing to play his starters too much, 164 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 3: but then having the experience in Tampa getting some quality reps. 165 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 3: I don't know where he's gonna play him too much, 166 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 3: but I think we're gonna see some very basic things. 167 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 3: But he's going to talk about effort, intensity and hustle 168 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 3: and things like that. 169 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 6: I think he'll learn more about what a head coach 170 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 6: goes through one game day. Then we'll learn about him, 171 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 6: because I don't think he'll show very much what he's 172 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 6: going to do in the regular season the preseason. I 173 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 6: anticipate this is my gut. I think he'll play starters 174 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 6: tomorrow as this as this team gets more his as 175 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 6: these guys have played in systems before. I don't know 176 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 6: if he'll do that moving forward next year, but I've 177 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 6: just got to believe that he's gonna want these guys 178 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 6: to feel game day together before week one. 179 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 4: And that's just me guessing. 180 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 3: He has not pulled me aside and told me that 181 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 3: about the fundamentals right of what he expects his team 182 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 3: and how he expects them deployed right. 183 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: And I think with so many new faces, new system 184 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: in place, it'd be nice to see him out there 185 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: at least for a little bit. 186 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 4: Yes, it would be all right. 187 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 2: Stay with us, We're going to. 188 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: Talk about the game against the Steelers coming up, and 189 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: also do deep dive into the tight end room. Tell 190 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: you who's in there after the break. Jag Zam brought 191 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: to me by Fields Auto Group. See Fields First, Jacksonville's 192 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: premier luxury autogroup. 193 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 2: Go to Fields Auto dot com. 194 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 7: Honestly, from a playing aspect, I don't think it's much different, 195 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 7: because obviously Evan was down last year for a lot 196 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 7: of games, so I had to take on that role. 197 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 4: But it was different. 198 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 7: I was in and out of it, you know, so 199 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 7: and when you're in and out of it, you know 200 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 7: obviously the reps are different, the roles are different, what 201 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 7: you're going to be asked to do in the game, 202 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 7: plans different. So that changed week the week in which 203 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 7: it kind of messed with me a little bit last year, 204 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 7: just trying to understand and feel my way and trying 205 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 7: to always prepare. But I think something that I've done 206 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 7: good ever since I've honestly been in college, and that 207 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 7: my college coaches taught me was to always prepare like 208 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 7: you're going to be a starter. And I think that 209 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 7: that paid off on me last year, and no matter 210 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 7: if I was a starter or whatever it was last year, 211 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 7: that's how. 212 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 3: I always prepared. 213 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: Brenton Strange entering year three. For him, obviously we're gonna 214 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: talk about the tight ends right now. He's probably one 215 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: of the only ones you're gonna remember from last season 216 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: because they really overhauled that room other than the coach 217 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: and Brenton Strange right there. But entering his third year, 218 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: we saw him in flashes. 219 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 2: As he mentioned. 220 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: Obviously, Evan Ingram was a favorite for Trevor Lawrence, but 221 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram dealing with some injuries last year. So we 222 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: saw a decent amount of Brenton Strange and he certainly 223 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 1: has the ability, but he's excited to kind of know 224 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: that that is his role in the offense going in 225 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: this year. 226 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 3: He made a big catch yesterday on that one handed 227 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 3: grab and it made me wonder, John, how good can 228 00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 3: he be? 229 00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 5: Right? 230 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 3: I mean, he doesn't look a Travis Kelcey, Greg Kittle 231 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 3: kind of guy. But yet I thought a Dallas Goddard, 232 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 3: you know, a guy who's gonna catch fifty five sixty balls, 233 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 3: six seven touchdowns, and it'd be a differentiator in the 234 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 3: offense because he's he's going to attack the middle and 235 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 3: force a defense to adjust. He looks like he could 236 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 3: be that kind of impactable player. 237 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think what you said hits it on the head. 238 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 6: Bare minimum he's gonna matter, meaning bare minimum defensive coordinators 239 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 6: can't ignore him. I think bare minimum is gonna be good. 240 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 6: We saw last year. I think he had forty catches. 241 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 6: I think it was about four hundred yards if I'm 242 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 6: remembering right, and he can up that, I think their 243 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 6: room is pretty good around him. At the very least, 244 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 6: he's going to be a high level blocker. Whatever he 245 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 6: gives you as a receiver beyond that forty mark I 246 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 6: think is gravy because I don't think they necessarily need 247 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 6: him to be the productive pass catcher that Devin Ingram 248 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 6: was because they've got so much more on the outside now, 249 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 6: So if he can compliment that and scare defenses in 250 00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 6: the interior, I think he's a big part of the 251 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 6: going to do. 252 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 3: You know, the other thing about him is because we 253 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 3: kind of got to know Am a little bit off 254 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 3: Mike off camera. He's real serious about football. I mean 255 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 3: really serious about football, and that approach is exactly what 256 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 3: they're trying to build around here. 257 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: Absolutely, I think he's excited about every aspect of playing 258 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: a tight end. Sometimes you talk to the tight ends 259 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: and they want to be a wide receiver, right, They're 260 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: not as much into the blocking. You get the feeling 261 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: from him he's just excited to lay somebody out and 262 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: do run blocking as he is as catching a football. 263 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, they want to run better around here, and you know, 264 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 6: I don't want to see him get hurt if they're 265 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 6: going to attain that goal. I think he's really important 266 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 6: for that. 267 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at this group because a lot 268 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: of these names are new, so some of some experience 269 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: brought in. Obviously, Hunter Long and Johnny Munt both in 270 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: LA at one point, so James Gladstone kind of knew 271 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: them that way in free agency bringing those guys in. 272 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: And also some other names, Quinson Morris, Patrick Herbert, Justin 273 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: Herbert's little brother. 274 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 2: He's a rookie this year. He's on the roster as well. 275 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: John Copenhaber, we don't really know how this room is 276 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 1: gonna shake out, whether they'll carry three or four, what 277 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: that's going to be exactly, but there. 278 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 2: Is some experience there. Bretton Strange talked about it. He says, yeah, I'm. 279 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: The one that's been here, but some of these guys 280 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: have been in the league for a lot longer than me, 281 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 1: and they can bring in that experience and help me 282 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: out in that way as well. 283 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 2: So it's certainly not him trying to tell them what 284 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 2: to do. 285 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 3: The Hunter Long and the Johnny Munch strike me as 286 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 3: dependable options, not just because they understand they've been in 287 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 3: the system. But you know, there are guys who gets 288 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 3: to modest success. You know, thirty catches a couple hundred yards. 289 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 3: They know the role, they understand the offense, and they're 290 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 3: gonna be key pieces in packages. 291 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, I've gotten questions people concerned about their tight end room, 292 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 6: where they gonna sign more guys. I think those questions 293 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 6: come from people who haven't heard of the tight end. 294 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 6: And my question is, unless you play fantasy football, how 295 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 6: many tight ends after Kelsey and Kittle have people heard of? 296 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 6: And I'm exaggerating that. But the point is these two 297 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 6: guys are really consistent, and if you've watched practice, when 298 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 6: Hunter Long's healthy, he can contribute in his passing game. 299 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 6: I'm not saying he's gonna catch hundrey yards with the balls, 300 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 6: but the other day he caught a forty five yard 301 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 6: pass and it didn't look like a fluke. So they 302 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 6: like their tight end room. I think a lot more 303 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 6: than people might think when you just glance at the 304 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 6: names and start and start looking for Pro Bowlers, and 305 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 6: they love Breton Strange. 306 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 4: I mean, he's a guy. 307 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 6: If you've watched our stuff, you realize they think of 308 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 6: him as a potential core guy. 309 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 3: If you haven't watched him, and if he plays in 310 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 3: the preseason, just watch the effort, watch the way he 311 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 3: finishes to play. That's what really stands out about him. 312 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 3: We talked about how seriously he is about football. He's 313 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 3: really serious about being a complete tight end, and in 314 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 3: an era where there's more receiving tight ends necessarily than 315 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 3: the complete tight end, Brenton Strange really stands out in 316 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,199 Speaker 3: the way that he plays the game with effort, in 317 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 3: intensity and. 318 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 6: Kyle Munten and Long knowing the offense is really key 319 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 6: for why they're here. It's harder for a tight end 320 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 6: to learn an offense than the other two positions, meaning 321 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 6: line or wide receiver, because you've kind of got to 322 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 6: know everything. The big reason that they're positives is that 323 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 6: they have such experience in this scheme. 324 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, grant you. 325 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: Dinsky talked a little bit yesterday about Johnny Mount. He 326 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: was with him in Minnesota, brought him down here. That's 327 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: going to be part of this, but he talked a 328 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: little bit about how helpful it is to have someone 329 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: that already knows where they need to be in the system. 330 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 4: Really could be. 331 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 5: More than that because of that flexibility, because he can 332 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 5: block so many different run schemes in the run game. 333 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 4: He can line up inline, he can line up. 334 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 5: As a wing, he can be going back across the 335 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 5: formation when he's off the ball, he can be in motion, 336 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 5: he can run a pretty wide route tree. So that 337 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 5: versatility is hard to guard because you can be an 338 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 5: eleven personnel twelve personnel, and he can be doing such 339 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 5: a variety of different things. 340 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: Versatility obviously the word of the day when it comes 341 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: to the tight end position, but these guys really do 342 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: have to do a little bit of everything, and it's 343 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: going to be different than we've seen in the past. Obviously, 344 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: the way Doug Peterson used tight ends is going to 345 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: be the different than the way Liam Cohen uses tight ends. 346 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 2: But it is nice to know that they have the 347 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 2: options with them. 348 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, they don't want him to be receivers necessarily, and 349 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 6: in Doug's offense, Evan Ingram played receiver. Let's face it, 350 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 6: that's not what they're looking for these guys to do 351 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 6: their chess pieces on the board. 352 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 3: You know they're not gonna see him on the field 353 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 3: all the time, but when they are, it's going to 354 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 3: be a very specific package that they've got where they 355 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 3: want the tight end. So I just john, you talked 356 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 3: about the roster death a little while ago, when we're 357 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 3: talking about wide receivers. The thing that I like about 358 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 3: this is that they're completely confident that they've got guys 359 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 3: that fit what they want to do and allow them 360 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 3: to open up the entire playbook. So many times over 361 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 3: the last number of years, you just knew that Jaguars 362 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 3: didn't have enough of those pieces on board, and it 363 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 3: really limited defenses could step up and challenge and take 364 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 3: away your best players for the first time in a while. 365 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 4: I don't feel like they're gonna be able to do 366 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 4: that here. 367 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll see. I mean, the games haven't started yet, 368 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 6: but it just feels like a lot of the free 369 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 6: agents we talked about and didn't talk about a whole 370 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 6: lot are going to matter a great deal. It feels 371 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 6: like they did a nice job. All regimes try to 372 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 6: do this so far, Brown, Jordan Lewis, you know, these 373 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 6: guys feels like they've done a nice job of fitting 374 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 6: pieces and that they wont that they had been able 375 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 6: to draft because they weren't here the guys that you 376 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 6: normally would have drafted. 377 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 4: So we'll see. 378 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: One more SoundBite from Brenton Strange, who talked a little 379 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: bit yesterday about now that he kind of knows his 380 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: role in the offense, he's working on building that trust 381 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: up with Trevor Lawrence. 382 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 7: I think that each day I'm coming out here and 383 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 7: just trying to earn Trevor's trust more and more, because 384 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 7: that's a big part of it. You know, He's had 385 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 7: a relationship with obviously like BT. Like BT, it was 386 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 7: there for him all last year and then, like I said, 387 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 7: I was in and out of games last year, so 388 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 7: I wasn't always the guy that he was throwing the 389 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 7: balls to or whatever it was. So I think that 390 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 7: that's a big thing for me. It's just coming out 391 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 7: here and just not only proven to Trevor, but proven 392 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 7: to the coaches and proven to my teammates as well, 393 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 7: that I can be a reliable playmaker for this team. 394 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: Brian, We've seen in the past Trevor Lawrence likes to 395 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: throw the people he likes to throw to, He's gonna 396 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: have a lot of them are gone, so. 397 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 2: He's gonna have to make new favorites, but a lot 398 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 2: of them working towards that. 399 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 3: Ki Britton was a rookie in twenty twenty three when 400 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 3: he watched Evan Ingram catch one hundred and fourteen past, 401 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 3: the second most by a tight end in a single 402 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 3: season in the league history. He knows that this quarterback 403 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 3: likes that position. And when he says earn his trust, 404 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 3: I mean it's he's going to be in the right 405 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 3: spot on every play, and that's going to give Trevor 406 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 3: the chance to build the same relationship he had with 407 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 3: Evan Ingram. 408 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 4: It might not be one hundred and fourteen catching. 409 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 3: It almost certainly won't because Brian Thomas Junior, and Travis 410 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 3: Hunter and Diami Brown and even Parker Washington. But man, 411 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 3: if it's fifty five and they're the right ones on 412 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 3: third down and seven, he's got a chance to be 413 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,959 Speaker 3: Evan Ingram like in terms of his dependability. 414 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, if Brenton Strange catch one hundred and fourteen, something's 415 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 6: gone hardly alright. So but I do think Strange has 416 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 6: probably practiced more with Trevor than he's played. And it 417 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 6: certainly looks to me out here like Trevor is confident 418 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 6: in the four wide receivers, meaning Parker Washington as well. 419 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,719 Speaker 6: But it it feels to me like he doesn't hesitate 420 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 6: to go to Strange and then he trusts him and 421 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 6: he likes him. I think it's important. 422 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: It's nice to establish at this point in training camp, 423 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: so when the games happen, we'll have that trust. 424 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 2: There as well. 425 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: Say us, we're going to talk a little bit about 426 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: preseason game number one against the Steelers coming up on Saturday. 427 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: Setteth Moving in Storage is for his most trusted and 428 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: dependable moving company said it's proud to be the official 429 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: moving company of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Welcome back to 431 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: jack sam set. 432 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 2: As sponsoring our preview of the first preseason game. 433 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: Of the year against the Steelers and going up against 434 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin. Yes, it's the preseason, but you can always 435 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: learn a little bit something from a guy that's been 436 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: doing it that long Head coach Liam Cohen said earlier 437 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: this week he called Tomlin kind of see what his 438 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: plans were for the game. We'll find what out find 439 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: out whatever that is on Saturday, but have to imagine 440 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: that's a good resource. 441 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 3: Steffy, long time and at a very high level, obviously 442 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 3: never having a losing season in what eighteen years. I'm 443 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 3: really interested, John, because these Steelers have taken a dramatic 444 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 3: departure from what the Steelers have always been. They're not 445 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 3: a free agent team. They're a team that drafts and develops. 446 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 3: And yet they went out and they signed Aaron Rodgers, 447 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 3: and they trade for DK Metcalf and they trade for 448 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 3: Jalen Ramsey, and I mean, these are things that the 449 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 3: Steelers long resisted. It was not part of their DNA 450 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 3: or their personality, and it feels like they are rolling 451 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 3: the dice in a completely new era. 452 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 6: I haven't talked to him in a while, Brian, but 453 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 6: imagine our friend vic Oh has thoughts, many. 454 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 4: Of which would not be suitable for the show. 455 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's absolutely They were for years, really them along 456 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 6: with the Ravens. But the Steelers since I started coming 457 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 6: to the league have always been that team of we're 458 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 6: gonna do what we do, We're gonna draft and develop. 459 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 6: This feels like a Steelers team that is reaching into 460 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 6: free agency, really departing from their past. I'm sure fans 461 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 6: like it, because fans love that. I think old Sealer 462 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 6: fans probably a little uncomfortable with it. So we'll see 463 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 6: how it works. Man, They've done that in the past 464 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 6: and always gone back to what they were. But they 465 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 6: will be one of the teams to watch because when 466 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers is on your team these days, Pat McFee 467 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 6: talks about you, well, you get the. 468 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 3: Sense that they went this route with Ramsey and DK 469 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 3: and all of those guys because they made the mistake 470 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 3: at the quarterback position a couple of years ago. They 471 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 3: drafted the kid out of pitt who last year was 472 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 3: in Philly and now is in Cleveland. They were hoping 473 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 3: to find their next quarterback after Ben Roethlisberger, and they missed, 474 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 3: and so they had to do something about quarterback and 475 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 3: this was their best option. So if you're going to 476 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 3: bring in Aaron Rodgers, will ye, you've got to bring 477 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 3: in other guys around it. You're putting it all on 478 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 3: today for a team that was ten and seven last year, 479 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 3: although it didn't necessarily feel like a ten and seventeen. 480 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 6: To push your chips in year, and the Steelers don't 481 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 6: usually push chips in like that. They usually go like 482 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 6: the Ravens do, which is long term. 483 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens to I am very intrigued 484 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: by this because I feel like there's a lot of 485 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 1: personality Aaron Rodgers and Jalen Ramsey alone, but Mike Tomlin's 486 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: notoriously been able to wrangle that into something in the past, 487 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: Antonio and Brown, what he's doing with last year as 488 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: well some of his other wide receivers. If there's anyone 489 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: that can do it, it's Mike Tomlin. But I am 490 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: curious to kind of see how this plays out. 491 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 3: Which personality which you'd rather deal with Aaron Rodgers, who 492 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 3: last year proved to be more more curial than we 493 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 3: knew or Jalen Ramsey. 494 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 6: Who we know? 495 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 2: You guys know Jalen. 496 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 4: I think Jalen, right, I'd rather I don't know. You're 497 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 4: a big Jalen guy. Yeah. 498 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 6: I think what's interesting is it's a big child. If 499 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 6: anybody can handle those guys, Tomlin can't. I have grave 500 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 6: re sect from Mike Tomlin. He's usually handled Antonio Brown 501 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 6: and that cast younger in their careers. Yes, Jalen and 502 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 6: Aaron are old enough to tune people out. I don't 503 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 6: know if they will tune people out, but they're old 504 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 6: enough to do it. Jalen has tuned people out before. 505 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 6: So look, it's going to be absolutely fascinating. And it 506 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 6: again hip the theme. There's many teams that are fascinating 507 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 6: like this. It's weird to see the Steelers label on 508 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 6: this sort of fascination. 509 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 3: I'm interested in how Jalen reacts to being in Pittsburgh. 510 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 3: That's a place when you go in there, you were 511 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 3: part of the Steelers, you're not necessarily your even though 512 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 3: Antonio Brown was sort of that way. I wonder if 513 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 3: it impacts him because of where he's at in his career. 514 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 3: I mean, he's at that point now where he's getting 515 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 3: towards the end, and his legacy is not as defined 516 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 3: as a player of his abilities should be. Well, he's 517 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 3: moved around a lot. 518 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 4: He's done it to himself. 519 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 6: And it's interesting because there are franchises where he's gone 520 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 6: to that he's had a chance going in to be 521 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 6: a legacy corner. He'll never be the legacy corner in Pittsburgh. 522 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 6: There's two guys that will always be considered better. So 523 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 6: I don't know if that matters. But if you're looking 524 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 6: at it from his perspective, mel Blunt, Rod Woodson, in 525 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 6: that organization, those kind of names still permeate. So will 526 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 6: he fit into that tradition. 527 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 4: I don't know if he wants to, if he's willing 528 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 4: to be humbled to a point. 529 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 3: I know that sounds so weird to say he'll do that, 530 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 3: But if he wants to be can he can take 531 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 3: a great step forward, no doubt with his reputation and listen, 532 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 3: he's a guy with Hall of Fame talent. 533 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 4: You at some point you've got to have somebody behind you. 534 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 3: We know this that pops up and starts talking about 535 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 3: you in those meetings, that's willing to advocate for you. 536 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 4: I don't know who it is right now. 537 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 3: Maybe someone in Pittsburgh can grab that if he goes 538 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 3: in and is part of a team that does something special. 539 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is similar to New England in a way where 540 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: sometimes they get those later in their career free agents, 541 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: but if you go in with effort, they will fully 542 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: take you into open arms for sure. And that as 543 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: you're mentioning, you know, Hall of Fame you looking back 544 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: at like that, you definitely need that symphoria. 545 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 2: All right, So coming back, we'll do our final word 546 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 2: after the break.

This is a 563 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 3: team that's sort of limped to the end of last season, 564 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 3: and it all feels new and different. In fact, John 565 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 3: I said to someone this morning watching them go through 566 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 3: their walkthrough here in front of us inside, that this 567 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 3: team has the posture the confidence of a team that 568 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 3: was nine to eight last year, not four and thirteen. 569 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 4: I'd like to see that on Saturday night. 570 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, if the starters play, you'd like to see the 571 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 6: offense have a couple of series where they get a 572 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 6: few first downs, maybe get a touchdown, come off the 573 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 6: field feeling good about what they've been sort of like 574 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 6: you felt about after the scrimmage the other night. So 575 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 6: you'd also like to see four or five of the 576 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 6: guys we've been talking about, like maybe a Cephas of 577 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 6: a Quint Allen, somebody like that, sort of step up 578 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 6: and show, Okay, we're going from camp storyline to a 579 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 6: guy who can maybe contribute during the regious season. 580 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 4: I think. 581 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 6: I think guy the Quint Allen for fans who are 582 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 6: watching seventh round running back, somebody to really watch during 583 00:25:58,640 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 6: the preseason. 584 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: All the running back, I think, or someone to keep 585 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: an eye on.
