Speaker 1: Long from the Associated Press. How are you, Mark, I'm

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: doing well. Thank you, Thanks for having me, Thanks for

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: coming back. Yeah, well, I thought I was blackballed, but

10
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: I guess not. Who said that? When you started yet?

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: Like thirty seconds and that is Daniel Popper from the

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: Athletic I don't did we have you on this one? No,

13
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: this is my debut. Welcome, thanks for having me, Thanks

14
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: for coming on. Guys. Here we go week one of

15
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: the books. And for me, the first thing that really

16
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: pops out it's the quarterback. I mean that that is

17
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: a huge difference when you go out on the field.

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: There's some confidence, there's smoothness, there's the spiral, there's all

19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 1: that that comes with a quarterback position. Here now, all

20
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden, everybody's been around this Jaguars team a

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: long time. There's a couple of things that hit me.

22
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: He's thirty years old. Think about the last decade at

23
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: the very least, I've been talking about two year old quarterbacks.

24
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: So the guy that's been around the block, and that's

25
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: my favorite part of Nick Foles. I have no idea

26
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: how will lead he's going to be, how good he's

27
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: going to be, But I know he's got a presence

28
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: that's been through the battles, and that's what you can

29
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: consistently here leadership, leadership, leadership. I don't know if that's

30
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: a knock on Blake Bortles. I think it's more knock

31
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: on young guys that have been around here for the

32
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: last decade. And this guy's been through and he's got

33
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: a super Bowl ring, and that's the ultimate respect in

34
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: this game. And you can see the comfort level to

35
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: me with the offense. It's it's very clear that he

36
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 1: knows the offense, he knows what he's doing. He doesn't

37
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: he looks poise back there, getting rid of the ball,

38
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: making checks. I always felt like Blake was learning, learning, learning,

39
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: Even in year four and five, he's still learning a

40
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: new offense, you know, tweaking the offense this ton the

41
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: other because I think, what did he have three or

42
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: four three three? Three offensive coordinators plus the replacements in there,

43
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: so you know that there's no consistency when you're when

44
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: you're changing, like they changed and built that offense, like

45
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: they built that offense over those I do believe what

46
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: I see right now is a comfort level with Nick

47
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: Foles and and it shows in in the completions down

48
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: the field, the spirals, uh, the dump offs, all of

49
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: that stuff I think is completely related to him and

50
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: and Um and Flip in there. You know, background and

51
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: their knowledge of each other and the system. Yeah, I

52
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: agree with you, Mark like foals is definitely he's very

53
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: valuable in terms of what how Flip can John d

54
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: Flip of the offenis quarter can bring this offense to

55
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: the team. Uh. He's He's a leader that's gonna be

56
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 1: able to understand the offense, pass it onto the wide

57
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: receiver's passed on even to the backup quarterbacks, to the

58
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: offensive linement, to everyone, bring everyone together. The one thing

59
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: I like, he's capable. He's a capable quarterback. He's an

60
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: established quarterback. We saw him out there today hit Chris

61
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: Conley and an ad R touchdown Healing Cole with the

62
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: big That was a great throw. He put in a

63
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: spot that only Killing could go up and grab it.

64
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: He's hitting guys over the middle. You're not seeing completions,

65
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: you're not seeing poor throws, you're not seeing overthrows. A

66
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: lot of the things that we saw with Blake. Um.

67
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,839
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Nick is gonna fall. Is gonna

68
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: go out there and be a top ten quarterback in

69
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: this league. He could be, but he's gonna be capable.

70
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: He's going to be a top half of the league guy,

71
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And with this defense, that could

72
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: mean wins. No, this is, you know, shorts football. It's

73
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: not like you're in pads yet. Let's say that. But

74
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: for what this is, I think we're all seeing the

75
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: same thing. Well, I don't get carried away with the

76
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: spirals and all that stuff just yet because of that.

77
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been around this block way too many

78
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: times to put too much emphasis on this time of year. Heck,

79
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: even August, show me September whatever, and then I'll start

80
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: believing it October and I can't. And like Gavert looks

81
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: the party looks like a franchise guy, and Blake looked

82
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: like he was making stricts and the entire team looked

83
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: better at times in August and said we have to

84
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: get to October. Now, this team is three and one

85
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: through September last year, so we've all learned that. The

86
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: one thing though, I think that really I can say

87
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: if if I ask you guys this, Sorry now I'm

88
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: asking the question over moderator. If I seriously ask you

89
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: guys this, whose football team was this last year? Coins No,

90
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: you're right, leadership right now. It's not Clay's Campbell, it's

91
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: not Jalen Ramsey, it's not Leonard Fournette. It's obviously Telling

92
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: Smith's not here. Uh, this is to me what I've

93
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: seen in the first couple of weeks, you know, talking

94
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: to players, talking to coaches, seeing Nick Foles on the field.

95
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: I think this guy has been there eighty ninety days

96
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: or whatever it is, and I think it's his football team,

97
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: and it seems like you have a ring demand respect.

98
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: That's just how it works in this lee. You win

99
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: the big one, you get respect, especially for the starting

100
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: quarterback making big throws, and you beat the Patriots. But

101
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: beyond that, beyond in the locker room and on the field,

102
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: the guy commands respect. You know, in the community. It's

103
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: like you see it coming off the field. They're lined

104
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: up ten deep out there. Not for Leonard Fournette. There's

105
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: some Foronard, but they're lined up for Nick Foles. And

106
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: he's the guy leading the charge in terms of some

107
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: of the extracurricular stuff, and I think that matters, and

108
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: people are gonna look up to him and he's going

109
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: to take on a leadership role. I think Blake Bortles

110
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: was great in terms of persian I don't know how

111
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: great he was in the community. Nick Fole is gonna

112
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: be great in the community. Mark Long associated Press, Daniel

113
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: Popper from The Athletic, Brent Martineau from a couple of

114
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: media entities, a mogul of sorts in Jacksonville, Action News

115
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: Jack's as well. Um we heard from John D. Filippo

116
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: for the first time publicly offensive coordinator here. He said, basically,

117
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: as for Nett goes, the offense goes, and the guys

118
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: on our Thursday night show did not agree with that

119
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: at all. If it goes like for Neet goes and

120
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: you're in trouble should go as fulls and the offensive

121
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: line goes to throw it around the yard, you run

122
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: do all that. They weren't buying that the other night.

123
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: You guys are making faces at me right now, I

124
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think this team wins games and

125
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: has a winning season unless they have a Rhyan game.

126
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: They have to run the football. They just have to

127
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: because they don't have enough talent at wide receiver. They

128
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: don't have enough talent at tight end. Now, they have

129
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: some exciting prospects. They have some guys that if they

130
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: step up and and take the next step forward, can

131
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: be productive players in the NFL, But very few of

132
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: those guys have proven it. Jesse Wayne hasn't stayed healthy.

133
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: Josh Olviers, the third round pick at of San Jose State,

134
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: got Mark Easley coming off an injury healing. Cole had

135
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: a down year last year. And I can go on

136
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: and on about it. If Leonard Fournett isn't able to

137
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: be a productive player and put up a thousand plus yards,

138
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a lot of trouble on offense. What's

139
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: debatable on what people don't want to admit because last

140
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: year is so disappointing about Leonard Fournette. It's just how

141
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: good he was in two thousand seventeen. He changed the

142
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: football team. He just changed because he could run. It's

143
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: because people had to game plan for, you know, and

144
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: they had a guy that you had to at least

145
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: you knew he was a threat. He was a talented threat.

146
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: Now where does he take his career, I don't know,

147
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: but he was still very productive. He made that team

148
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: click on offense. They don't have playmakers. Still on this,

149
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: You've been saying this for since the combine. We had

150
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: a conversation at the Combine in February about it. If

151
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette is a playmaker, I think Nick Foles is

152
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: now a playmaker for them, and I will give Dee

153
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: Dee Westbrook a playmaking role until markis Lee gets healthy.

154
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: That's it, guys. There's three of them now. As Daniel said,

155
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: does DJ Chark emerge, does one of those tight ends emerged?

156
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, But I can sign up for three

157
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: playmakers right now for this Jacksonville Jaguars football team. So yes,

158
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: Leonard four nets extremely important. But I'm a little on

159
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: the different side. I don't I think they've got more

160
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: playmakers than you think. I think they got more playkers

161
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: and Daniel things and they get more playmakers, and Joe

162
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: Public thinks I think they just don't have that one

163
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: star playmaker. But I think they've got a lot of

164
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: guys who can beat you in a lot of different ways.

165
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: And I'll go back. I've seen Chark make plays. I've

166
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: seen Marks Lee make a lot of plays. I've seen

167
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: Kean Cole. I mean he's a forgotten guy. I've seen

168
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: Cole make some unbelievable plays that Listen, we talked about

169
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: you and I mission the other day. That catch that

170
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: he made against New England Patriots last year right here

171
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: in the bank is arguably the best catching franchise. But

172
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: do you trust them? Do you trust that going into us?

173
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: But but I feel like I can build on that.

174
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: That was like the last time we saw him last year.

175
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: Though he didn't really do much after that catch. No,

176
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: I get it, But how much of that was was

177
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,119
Speaker 1: directly related to the offensive line not dropped on the ball?

178
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: He did drop balls. Confidence once, you know, some confidence

179
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: is such a big thing in this game, and you

180
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: lose it, you know you're gonna have a hard time

181
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: getting back. Certainly I get it back during the season,

182
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: and I think that's where he's at. But the point is,

183
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: I feel like Mark long As as a member of

184
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: the Sunshine Rainbows Club, it's managed branded studio and everything changes,

185
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: and I'll go out on the limb. I don't think

186
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: we have three days of O T A S. I

187
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,119
Speaker 1: haven't seen anybody better on that football field and Josh

188
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: oliver So and I'll and I'll go to task with

189
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: you if you if you think you have, I think

190
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: he's been fantastic. I think they you know, we were

191
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: talking about is this going to be confidence in that,

192
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: is this gonna be you know, we were always talking

193
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: about it was gonna be Hockinson in the first round.

194
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: I think they any the way it panned out, maybe

195
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: a big blessing for this team moving forward. I think

196
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 1: that guy's got a chance to be something special right

197
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: out of the gate, playing with a guy like Nick

198
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: Foles has got experience and a lot of history of

199
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: getting the tight ends and the one thing for a

200
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: running back can't be productive unless he has an offensive

201
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: line that's blocking for him. And that's where the concerning

202
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: comes from me. You've got a lot of guys coming

203
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: off of season and the injuries last year, including Cam

204
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: Robinson in your lift tackle. You're right, you're gonna have

205
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: a new right tackle. Who is it? We don't know yet.

206
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: Is it John Taylor? Is it sydricog Bohey? Is it

207
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: Will Richardson. I have some concerns about the offensive line

208
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: being able to block for Leonard for net and when

209
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 1: you look at a running back, that's what you have

210
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: to look at. No running back is gonna be able

211
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: to run forever a thousand yards behind the shotty offensive line.

212
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: So I disagree with you a little bit. I have

213
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: more faith even in the off season and that offensive line.

214
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: I think that was so flukey last year. What happened

215
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: sixteen guys playing offensive line in the year, I mean

216
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: it was ridiculous. So and now I feel like you've

217
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: got guys with a chip a little bit. You've got

218
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Lender's got a chip on the shoulder. I think

219
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: you have Cam Robinson with a chip. I think Gator

220
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: Normal is a good player of healthy. He never was

221
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: healthy for this football team. So where do you see

222
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: on the right side. I get it, but I think

223
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: you have enough bodies to be good. Very few teams

224
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: around the NFL have five guys that you're gonna sit

225
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: there and say, Wow, that guy's good. That guy's good.

226
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: That guy's good. That guy's good. That guy is good.

227
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: But service this off. It's a line more than other

228
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: people do like the offensive line. Maybe I'm a fake

229
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: believer in that a little bit, maybe like you are

230
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: with playmakers in my opinion, but I don't mind the

231
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: offensive line. I think they could be good. I'm not

232
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: saying they can't be good. I think they could be good.

233
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: But I just have some questions. That's all going back

234
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: to you. The original question. I personally think that was

235
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: De Filippo's answer was a guy who got fired from

236
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: his previous job for running the ball not enough, comes

237
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: to a place where that's the priority number one, And

238
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: you got Tom Coffin, Doug Moron, it's his first media availability,

239
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: and he goes in. He says the right thing, which

240
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: is this franchise wants to run the ball. We need

241
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: to run the ball. And Leonard Fernette is the guy

242
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: who's going to run the ball like that. Daniel Popper

243
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: with the athletic Mark Long from the Associated Press, Brent

244
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: Martineau from Action News, Jackson ESPN six nine. Let's go

245
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: to defense. Now, the Telvin Smith story is a few

246
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: weeks old now, but exactly right, he's not here, and

247
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: it seems like the franchise trying to move ahead. You know,

248
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: they signed all those veteran linebackers, they drafted a guy

249
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: and all that. Now moving forward on the field, what

250
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: do they do at that week's side spot? Well, what

251
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: have we seen? So I know we can't say a

252
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: lot about who's where, But if you had to handicap

253
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: it right now, opening day, who's the starting week's side linebacker?

254
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, I actually just talked to Doug about this.

255
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: It's Quincy Williams, Remiq Wilson and d J Alexander. Those

256
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: are the guys they're rotating through a week side line.

257
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: But that's because Jake Bryan is not playing. Yeah, you know,

258
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm I'm projecting three months out and I

259
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: think Jake Ryan's gonna come back on. Jake RAN's gonna

260
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: be the middle line. I think they signed into the

261
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: middle linebacker, and I think they're gonna move. Uh, we're

262
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: talking about a guy who's torn his d sail twice

263
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: and he I mean Jeane for Net from the Times

264
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: Union talks to him the other day. And he said

265
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna take it really slow, so I wouldn't count

266
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: on him being on the field week one. And then

267
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna move Myles Jack out of

268
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: middle linebacker until something goes wrong, until the defense starts

269
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: playing poorly and they have a reason to move him out.

270
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: Him and Miles, But that doesn't really matter. The coaches

271
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: are gonna make the decision on that one. Well, that's

272
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: what I wonder. I wonder if that does matter a little.

273
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: You want to I to be playing fast and comfortable

274
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: and somewhat happy. I I don't I understand what you're saying.

275
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: I think if they think they're better with this lineback

276
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: group is Jake, Ryan and Miles on the week side

277
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: and maybe a Josh Allen or whoever on the strong side.

278
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: I get that the coaches will have the ultimate say,

279
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: but I don't know if they also want this confrontation.

280
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: They've got enough problems right now. Line by the way,

281
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: you and I, you and I see so we for

282
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: three weeks now we've butted heads on where Josh Allen

283
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: you've got him that at playing a strong side linebacker.

284
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: I don't think he sit down at strong he's Dante

285
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: Feller from the first half. That's what he's gonna behind.

286
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 1: He's gonna play behind John on first and second down.

287
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: He's gonna play opposite Yohn on third down. Period, that's

288
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: where they're going to do. What does this team continually

289
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: and and you might be right, but if your idea

290
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: is to get the best eleven players on the field,

291
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: which this organization continues to say, I don't know how

292
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: you don't flirt with Josh Allen in one of those

293
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: in that spot it's like strong side right on. Basically,

294
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: I think then you're fantastic. He's smart, and he's a

295
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: mature and I think he can probably handle it everything

296
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: all of that. But I don't know that you want

297
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: to put all of that, and that's been dangerous around here,

298
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: absolutely perfect example of that. It's also important to know

299
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: that they they're never really in base defense the strong

300
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: side line. It's not like because he's because Josh Allen

301
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: is a strong side linebacker, he's gonna be on the

302
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: field a lot. Leon Jacobs played like fifteen snaps a

303
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: game last hear their nickel almost all the time because

304
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: because opponents are always an eleven person. So it's not

305
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: that big of I would try to find a way

306
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: to get yawn And and Josh Allen on the field

307
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: on first and second down together and maybe even move

308
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: Calais inside next to Marcel, especially if Taven you know,

309
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: doesn't develop like we like, you know, they hope he will.

310
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: But to me, that's that's your top four right there.

311
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: Find a way to get them on the field of

312
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 1: the time. And can you flash some looks of a

313
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: three four? It does in that way, and that's what

314
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: we've been talking about on our radio show a lot.

315
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: I mean, can you see that? Will you see that?

316
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: I know my co host Austin later played this game

317
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: for this orders. It's convinced they will show some three

318
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: or four looks at times this year. But we'll see. Well.

319
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: I asked Tom Coffin about that after the draft, and

320
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: he said, well, when you get into Nickel sets, like

321
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: it's not really three four anymore, like it kind of

322
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: becomes an amiba. With the number of defensive backs that

323
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: are on the field, they're gonna do some experimental things.

324
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: They should because the guy is a freak talent. He's

325
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: a crazy athlete, so you want to move him around

326
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: the field and see what he can do. But I

327
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: think as a rookie, initially you're gonna slod him into

328
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: that role a Dante Fowers and maybe build it up

329
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: as the season goes well. And you know, he did

330
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: move around a lot in college, so that you can

331
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: help to learn. He said he will coverage half the

332
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: time you asked the questions, I would guess then if

333
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: it's not, if it's not a movement, Miles Jack stays

334
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: in that same spot. I do think you'll see a

335
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: veteran guy go around the week's side. I do not

336
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: believe they drafted Quincy Williams to play that week sideline

337
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: backer in two thousand nineteen. I don't believe they did that.

338
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: I think it'd be Wilson. Wilson would be the guy.

339
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: And then I think maybe you look at j Good

340
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: good because they've been playing him inside. Yeah, but you know,

341
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: I think he's he's versatile. Yeah. Alright, final thought here, guys,

342
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: what do you want to see next week? And um,

343
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: what's coming up on ghost coverage? What you got Brent?

344
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: Go ahead? Please? Uh let's see what do I want

345
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: to see next week? That's that's good. I think I

346
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: want to continue to see DJ Shark and and D. D.

347
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: Westbrook because those guys have to become I love markis Lee.

348
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of markis Lee. I do think

349
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: the first half of the season Mark eas Lee is

350
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: going to be a little sketchy because it's tough to

351
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: come back. Uh. Heck, even Allen Robinson who had a

352
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: nice season second half of the year for Chicago last year,

353
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: it took him the first half of the year to

354
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: get going. Just the nature of the Beast the way

355
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: it is. So I think those two guys have to

356
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: continue to gain confidence with Nick Foles, rapport with Nick Foles.

357
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: So that's what I'll be looking for. Uh in o

358
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: t a S. I catch our show three to six

359
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: on ESPN six ninety Monday through Friday, except not this

360
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: Monday because it's Memorial Day. And also you can catch

361
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: us on CBS forty seven, Fox Dirty like all the time,

362
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: anything else on Twitter. Hey, he told me I could

363
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: mark new radio show in town. Yeah. Healthy, I think

364
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: you just this is the time of year. You gotta

365
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: stay healthy. Uh. The Nixon bruises, the D. D. Westbrook

366
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: and and Josh Allen. You're gonna live with those and

367
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: deal with those. But what you got it you can

368
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: have this time of years, the Hunter Henry a guy

369
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: blowing out his knee in in non contact. If you

370
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: can avoid that, you're ahead of the game. And that's

371
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: that's what they have to see. That's what they want

372
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: to see. Beyond that, for me, I think you get

373
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: you know, I always look at his stories. You have

374
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: to write, Leonard from that the story you have to

00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: write today for me, and then the stories you want

376
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: to write. Stories I want to write. I want to

377
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: dig in on on Josh Lambo. I think he's fascinating,

378
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: fascinating character. And then I'm gonna dig in on Chris Connelly,

379
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: another guy who's got his uh hands and everything outside

380
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: of football. Well, Daniel, we went from sunshine, rainbows to

382
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: out their knees. Um, I'll do you know, I didn't

383
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: mention anybody for this franchise. That's good, that's good. It's

384
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: baby steps, babies. I'm excited to see Josh Oliver's development

385
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: because he I didn't think he was going to be

386
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: where he's at right now this first week, just in

387
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: terms of the place he's making the catches he's making.

388
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: He could be a weapon. Like Mark was saying earlier,

389
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see how he progresses. The best Josh
