1 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: Well Janks Driven with Ashley, John Hoosher, Brian Sexty. Change 2 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: starts right now. Yeah, it does. Um, guys, guys know 3 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 1: you know what this what this week and and what 4 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: everything really beyond. You know this point really means. Um. 5 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: You know, last week was just a matter of just 6 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: kind of you know, cleaning up the roster a little bit, 7 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: you know, and adding some new editions and finalizing the 8 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: practice squad and all that kind of stuff. And now 9 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: it's you know, we're in the game week, and you know, 10 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: everything we do matters, every little thing. How they how 11 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: they take care of themselves away from the building and 12 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: and prepare themselves and and but it's a good group. 13 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: It's a good group. I think that will that will 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: handle it well. And uh, you know they can eliminate 15 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: some distractions around them and just focus on ball, you know, 16 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: at least while they're while they're here. But I think 17 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: it's important to that, um, you know, we are practically 18 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: in some warm weather and how they how they take 19 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: care of themselves as important to regular season starts right now. 20 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: Welcome into Jaguars Drive Time on a Wednesday morning. Ashland Sullivan, 21 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: Brian Section and John Ozier here with you for the 22 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 1: entire football season. We are here Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 23 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: mornings after taking a little break here at the ends 24 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: of training camp in the preseason. But Brian, it feels 25 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: good that it's for real. And we just heard coach 26 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: Peterson say that. When you walked into the building this morning, 27 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 1: I was like, all right, let's go, let's go time. 28 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: It's the first big work day of the season, right Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Wednesday, 29 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: Thursday being the important days, um for us to get 30 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: into the locker room, talk to the coaches, get a 31 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: fix on the storylines. Yeah, it's um, it's nice to 32 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: have it for real. Yeah, what you didn't hear Doug 33 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: say the other day? He had a line he said, 34 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: now is when the fund starts. My first thought was, 35 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: you've been around the Jaguars the last time. Here's heavy Doug. 36 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: But Drew statement, the cool thing is, I think that's 37 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: much different now. It does feel different, and uh, you 38 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: know it, as Brian and said, even doing this as 39 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: long as we've been doing it, the regular season opener, 40 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: the first week, there's a different step. There's fewer guys 41 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: out in the practice field. We've all seen that, you know, 42 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: as you cut the fifty three last week and get 43 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: to sixty nine, there's more energy ere But he knows 44 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: this is his team. Let's see how it goes. It 45 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: is important what you said is exactly right, and that 46 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: is that Doug thinks this is fun. Doug is not 47 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: married to the idea of it hasn't been fun. He's 48 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: not worried about what happened in the here right. And 49 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: I think there's just something I've taken from him this 50 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: summer is there's just this sense of, well, I want 51 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: a championship. I've done this before, so just hold on 52 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: and watch what we do right. And I kind of 53 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: like that. That makes it fun, absolutely right. Let's get 54 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: him to big things. Big thing one is here we go. 55 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: It is the start of the regular season, in our 56 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: first chance to really see how coach Peter since Jaguars 57 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: will look. We are going to focus on wins and losses, 58 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: of course, but coach Peterson has a much bigger focus 59 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: than that. You know, I don't focus on the end result, 60 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: focus on the process, on your journey. And it's the 61 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: care of the small things was a big things to 62 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: take care of themselves, and and and that's the final score. Um, 63 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: and I just know that if we work hard this 64 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: week and prepare and go up there and play hard 65 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: and do the right things, you know, good things can happen. 66 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: And uh, I don't focus on necessary wins and losses 67 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: and put put you know, Um, you just over again 68 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: today you get more points than they do and and um, 69 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: you know, but it's a process to get there. You know. 70 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: We don't play the game on Monday. We we play 71 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: it six days from now. So we've got this journey 72 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: to go through this week. Big thing too is double 73 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: trouble running back James Robinson and Travis et m will 74 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: both be playing on Sunday. And man, that was not 75 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: a promise, but both of these season engine injuries for 76 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: these guys last season. Coach Peterson optimistic we're gonna see 77 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: both here against the Commanders. James is gonna good place 78 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: right now, just in terms of potentially being there on Sunday, Yes, kay, okay, 79 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: yea adventure again. I mean of very few words regarding 80 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: that the game three is good and fast. We think 81 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: this defense is much improved from what we've seen on 82 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: the training camp in preseason field. But against this Commander's offense, 83 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: we're going to find out how fast they can play, 84 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: especially against Carson Wentz. Captain foyert Alu Khan thinks not 85 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: a lot should change in that matter. I think that 86 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,239 Speaker 1: did come naturally with you know, the first game coming 87 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 1: in accounting. But I said, our attention to the details 88 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: shouldn't shift from preseason and now because you know, when 89 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: you're trying to make a team, you should be trying 90 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: to be perfect and everything, and now not just because 91 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: the game comps should take that same atypical detailer and 92 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: put it towards game planning and stuff. So maybe for 93 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: the young guys that's new to them, but it should 94 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: be heightened awareness on stuff and being able to see 95 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: the same looks and not expect to see him in 96 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,679 Speaker 1: the game. And there you have it. Those are big 97 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: things we get ready for a week when against the 98 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: Washington Commanders and away game this Sunday and John, I 99 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: think the biggest thing is we go back a couple 100 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: of months and the biggest question was, Okay, well are 101 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: we going to have both running backs here week one? 102 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: At times that didn't seem optimistic frankly, or really even promised, 103 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: and now it seems like, yeah, we're gonna have both 104 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: of them. Well, it certainly seems that, and I think 105 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: everybody is still waiting to see the effectiveness level of 106 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: James Robinson. I think we've seen Travis c t N. 107 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: He looked fine. He looked like a guy who can 108 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: play in the NFL. I want to see for Travis 109 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: if his speed makes him look faster than regular season 110 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: NFL defenders think it's gonna be the key for him. 111 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: But he runs hard. I mean, this is a kid. 112 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: I've been really surprised. If anything, it's surprising me about 113 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: Travis c t N. It's how many tackles he breaks, 114 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 1: It's how hard he runs for a little guy. James 115 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: Robinson to me, Um, I still want to see it. 116 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 1: I want to see that effectiveness. There's something with the 117 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: Achilles that still makes me nervous. But I'm not a doctor, 118 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: although I play one on TV. Well, two thoughts. First 119 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: of all, we had a conversation with Kevin Caplan, the 120 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: Jaguars UH team orthopedic surgeon, and he didn't do the surgery, 121 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: and he wasn't talking specifically about Um James Robinson, but 122 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: he was kind of giving us the overview of how 123 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: the process for Achilles surgeries have changed and how they've 124 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: fine tuned things to be able to match the spring 125 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: in each calf, you know, get the tension just right. 126 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: It was high brows stuff. But it made it clear 127 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: that this is not a reach for him to be 128 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: ready to go that over time, the surgical procedure for 129 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: the achilles, which used to be sort of a you know, 130 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: flip the coin, could you put it all back together 131 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: and get it right, It's much more precise these days, 132 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: according to what he was telling us. But the real 133 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: issue is here is I'm not a gambler, right. But 134 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: if you would have said to me both e t 135 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: N and Robinson will be on the field and opening day, 136 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: I would have taken that bed. I would have said, 137 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: no chance that both of them are ready to go 138 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: by opening day because those are major injuries. E t 139 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: N I would have given yes because he had more time. 140 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: But Jim's Robinson just did this in New York last December. 141 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: I mean, the fact that he's back now still blows 142 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: my mind. And if both of them have productive seasons 143 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: this year, put them both down for the head Block 144 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: Courage Award because both of them able to come back 145 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: from what could have been career ending injuries, two productive seasons. 146 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: It's a big story, absolutely, and I think we're getting 147 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: so many questions. Everyone's getting questions, Okay, well James Robinson, 148 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: is he going to be the same guy? And getting 149 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: so many questions about fantasy. Should I take him in fantasy? 150 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: And I think the key here is yes, he's back, 151 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: Yes he's gonna be starting running back. But I think 152 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: the question is how many carries is he going to get? 153 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: And they're not going to push that week one. I 154 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: think what what Kevin was telling us that days he 155 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: was explaining that you know how they fixed this procedure 156 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: is that there's a chance he could be the same guy. 157 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: And John, I think both you and I when we 158 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: started in this league, you've got to kill as you're done, 159 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,239 Speaker 1: I mean running back twitch and you couldn't move fast. 160 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: And I've been saying this for six seven months. If 161 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: you're playing James Robinson in fantasy, I don't know that 162 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: you can take his numbers from past regimes and assume 163 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: they're going to be the same. Doug Peterson likes the 164 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: rotating backfield, and I think Travis et and will cut 165 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: into James Robinson's tears. I think it's a good thing 166 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. Maybe not a good thing, Shelenn for 167 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: your fantasy team. Hey, mine, I'm just getting some questions. 168 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: Given the third big thing. It sure seems to me 169 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: like as this offense kind of finds itself all the 170 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: new moving parts and pieces, they're gonna lean on this defense. 171 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: The question is can they lean on this defense? I mean, 172 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: it sure looks like it to talk about optimism from 173 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: what we saw from these guys on the practice field 174 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: and the little bit that we saw from the first 175 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: team offense against the Browns and the Steelers. I'm sorry, 176 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: first team defense against the Steelers, first team offense. Um, 177 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: I think they can lean on them. I mean, that's 178 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: probably what I'm most excited to see, is this defense 179 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: early on against the Commanders. I'm skeptical because I'm not skeptical. 180 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: I'm not skeptical because I can't say the word about 181 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: the quality of this defense. I'm skeptical if today in 182 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: today's NFL, if if any team can truly lean on 183 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: its defense. Even the two thousand seventeen Jaguars, which is 184 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: the best defense I've ever covered, they sometimes had to 185 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: play in shootouts and score a lot of points to win. Um, 186 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 1: I think this defense, what you hope it is, is 187 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: what I think great defenses are right now at big times, 188 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: can you get the opponent brick field? At big times? 189 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: Can you get turnovers? And But this offense, it's still 190 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: going to be in coming on the offense to score 191 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: points when it can. I don't think you can go 192 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: in the NFL anymore if you can't score points. No, 193 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: But I do think that you can lean on the 194 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: defense to break serve like you just talked about, and 195 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: to stop the run. Right if if this team gave 196 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: up a hundred and twenty nine rushing yards per game 197 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: last year and in the first two preseason games where 198 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: we saw the first team defense so against the Browns 199 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: and against the Steelers, they were excellent against the run. 200 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: If they are, then I think you can lean on 201 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: this defense. If they can stop the run, the first 202 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: step back to respectability for this fame. But they can't 203 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: stop the run, that's problem. Yes, so many games last 204 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: year you're going into the second quarter and it feels 205 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: like the game is out of reach at this point 206 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: because at that point they couldn't stop the run. And 207 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: even if the offense scores two more touchdowns. It's still 208 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: out of reach. You don't want is the click and 209 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: the lean head at halftime show. Last year in the 210 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: season finale, the Jaguars did a number on the Colts. Right, 211 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor had fifty seven yards in the game, but 212 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: I think he only had thirteen or fourteen in the 213 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,239 Speaker 1: first half. And when it always on Carson Wentz his shoulders. 214 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: We saw what happened, right, he couldn't deliver. So if 215 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: you can go up there on Sunday and stop the 216 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: run and make Carson Wentz beat, you mightn't like your 217 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: chances to find your way to win. Absolutely big test 218 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: for this defense. For sure, we're going to find out 219 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: who they really are. That's for sure, all right. Coming 220 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: back on Jaguars dry time.

Welcome back to Jaguars Drive 235 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: Time and His Time for This or That, presented by 236 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: Price dot Com. That Brian, Well, so I'll go with 237 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: this UM. Yesterday I turned on the Athletics, a f 238 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: C South preview podcast. I like to have some background 239 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,599 Speaker 1: noise as I'm working, and I settled into start a 240 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: little research on the Washington Commanders. And when they got 241 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,479 Speaker 1: to the Jaguars, it was clear they didn't know this team. 242 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: The offensive line was a wreck, right, Uh, the running 243 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: back situation was entirely unsettled. They didn't know that Travis E. 244 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 1: T n was back. Uh, they had been following it. 245 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: They didn't have a good feel for what the Jaguars 246 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: had done with the defense. UM, and I didn't expect 247 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: them to be Hey, this is a much better team. 248 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: I didn't expect it at all, but I expected was 249 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: they to have some idea since it was an AFC 250 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 1: South podcast of what was going on with this team. 251 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: So I say, if you know this team and your 252 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: expectations for this team are in check, don't pay attention 253 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: to what people are saying about this team because the 254 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: Jaguars and Jacksonville are still low on the priority list 255 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: and people aren't paying a lot of attention to it. 256 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: So it's just like, hey, they stink still, don't they Yeah, 257 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: they yeah, they stink still. Okay, all right, Jaguars stinks, 258 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: So don't worry about them. Onto Indianapolis. Whatever it was, Uh, 259 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: you will, you have your feelings hurt, you'd be mad, 260 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: and your phone may end up on the floor. Not 261 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: that mine did, but I was just I was stunned 262 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: it and how little they had a grasp of this team. 263 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: I thought Doug Peterson might pull people's attention to this team. Um, 264 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: and it did, And that was pretty much what they 265 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: thought was the the loan upgrade to Jacksonville. Don't have 266 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: a lot of expectations this week, and you know this 267 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: is where all the power rankings come out. Yours are 268 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: out today, right, this is where all the things come out. 269 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: People get excited about the season. You want to be excited. 270 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: Then if you would listen to that podcast, you'd be like, 271 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,959 Speaker 1: we exactly why even turn So I would say this week, 272 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: do not Yeah, and it stinks because it comes across 273 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: like it's almost unprepared. But you can't blame them where 274 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: they haven't seen a product on the field to make 275 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: them change their mind. And that's on the Jaguars the Sunday, 276 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: and it is unprepared. And uh, I think this team 277 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 1: is not different than it was last year. But I've 278 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: said all along, fans write me all the time. When 279 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: are they we get no respect? You win your way 280 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: out of that. They've won four games the last two years, 281 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: so people who don't want to do the work and 282 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,719 Speaker 1: figure out real research are going to assume that it's 283 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 1: still the same. So win your way out of that. 284 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: That's all you can do. Absolutely what you got. Uh 285 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: the Jaguars I'm waiting for it will win the turnover 286 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: battle Sunday. Well that's not really r I wrote, but 287 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: or they will lose the game. Uh So I think 288 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: this is a theme for me when I was talking 289 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: about this. That's more than this weekend. I think they 290 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: have built this roster trying to do something to fix 291 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: what was just an awful situation last year, which takeaways 292 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: They had nine for the season, which and they had 293 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: the fewest interceptions in the league, right, yet they had 294 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: seven interceptions nine turnovers and when you have that number, 295 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: you're going to be three and fourteen. So I think, 296 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: as as cliche it is, and as the reality is, 297 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: any team in the league has to watch that number. 298 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: As bad as this team was last year. Trevor Lawrence 299 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: has to reduce his interceptions. The obviously has have a 300 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: fewer turnovers, but the defense, I would say, has to 301 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: at least double that nine number. If it gets into 302 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: the twenties, then all of a sudden, you're talking about 303 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: defense that's doing the job we talked about earlier. But 304 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: well so, and we here coaches say this all the time. 305 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: It's rush and cover, right, So if the pass rush 306 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: is more disruptive, and last year, let's be honest, it 307 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: was all Josh Allen and most weeks he's saw two people. 308 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes you also saw the back on the way out 309 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: of the backfield chipping him as well. All this year, 310 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: they won't be able to do that. It's effectively with 311 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: the Trayvon Walker on the other side. So there's a chance. 312 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: I got to see it first. But there's a chance 313 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: this team will be much more disruptive up from especially 314 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: against the quarterback like Carson Wentz, who will chuck it 315 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: up right. We've seen him do that. And with Tyson 316 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: Campbell the addition of Darius Williams um you feel like 317 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: this team will be more opportunistic in getting the bowl 318 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: away from the other team. So I think there's a 319 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: real chance. I don't think it could be much worse, 320 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: and I think there's a real chance they could take 321 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: a massive step forward simply because nine takeaways to eight 322 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: team would be massive this year, right massive. I think 323 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: they could even do more than that. We'll find out. 324 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: If you see a bunch of defenders for the Jaguars 325 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: running down and finding some camera and this thing that 326 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: it's going pretty well for that the kids like to do. 327 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: If they're doing that at some point in the first 328 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: half and they and the sidelines and get that energy, 329 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: I think they'll win. I think if they get a 330 00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: turnover in the first half, they win the game, absolutely, 331 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: all right, My this sort that is all about these linebackers, 332 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: and he were going to see starting this Sunday against 333 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: the Commanders, Chat Muma or Devin Lloyd. I'm gonna go 334 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: with this week being Chad Muma. That's the rumblings I'm 335 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: hearing is that Chad Muma is going to start this week. 336 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: That's just because Devin Lloyd missed a significant amount of 337 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: time and training camp in the preseason. Devin Lloyd is 338 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: going to be your starter eventually. But I think this 339 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: says a ton about Chad Muma that you can plug 340 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: and play him to be a starter week one. We 341 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: thought at first when these two were drafted, I thought, Okay, 342 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd, now go down a couple of steps then 343 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: Chad Mum. I don't think there's that many steps between 344 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: these guys right now. Well I do because of what 345 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: they did in college. Devin Lloyd had eight sacks, he 346 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: had four interceptions, he had two for touchdowns, he had 347 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: to fumble recoveries. He is a playmaker, He is a 348 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: difference maker. I think Chad move is a very good player. 349 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: I mean he had some pressures, some sacks, some interceptions 350 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: when he was at Wyoming two, but just watch the 351 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: two guys run and move. Was a very good athlete, 352 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: but Devin Lloyd's step above. So I don't know who's 353 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: gonna start on Sunday, but Devin Lloyd is your long 354 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: term guy inside. He's had a couple of weeks to 355 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: get ready. I wouldn't be stunted at all if he's 356 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: out there. Um, there's a reason why Devin Lloyd was 357 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: the first round pick and Chad MoMA was a third 358 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: round pick. And that's not a slight at all on 359 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: Chad movement. It's just Devin Lloyd is special. Yeah, I agree. 360 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: I think Chad movie starts this week. I think Devin 361 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: always a long term starter. But I think this shows 362 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: why they made this pick. Um. I don't think they 363 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: expected to be Week one, but it's okay to have 364 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: more than one good player at every physician Brian, So 365 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: there's no doubt. And especially a couple of days ago, 366 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: the depth chart came out and then you saw all 367 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: over social media, oh my gosh, you are the starters. 368 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: And I think what we're learning, especially with this three 369 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: four defense, is there's no such thing as a starter 370 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: for the entire game. We're gonna see all these rotations 371 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: and you can't get hung up on Okay, Devin Lloyd's 372 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: gonna be the starter forever without a doubt. And you 373 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: see in the three four, and we've talked about this 374 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 1: the last two years. You need lots and lots and 375 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: lots of linebackers. At one point before they brought Adam 376 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: gotz Is back, I think there were what four down 377 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 1: linemen and one of them was Smoot who's twitter and 378 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: seventy pounds. So that I mean, let's talk about stopping 379 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: the run. You want more big bodies. They're telling you 380 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: where their focus is on linebackers. So if Chad Muma 381 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,959 Speaker 1: plays I don't know a third of the snaps right 382 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,719 Speaker 1: or half the snaps, uh, that wouldn't surprise me at all. 383 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: Over the course of the season. He's there's gonna be 384 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: a package. He's going to be involved. He's a really 385 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: good football player. Yeah. Absolutely. And that is this sort 386 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: that presented by price dot Com and we come back 387 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: on Jaguars Drive Time some ozone snapshot. For nine years, 388 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: dream Finders Homes has been proud to call themselves the 389 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: official home builder of the Jacksonville Jaguars because it dream 390 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: Finders Homes Dot com for all your available inventorysun Friendly 391 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: time for ozone snapshot. It has been a couple of 392 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: months since we've visited this Ozone mail bag. It's normally 393 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: not the nicest place in the world, but I'm feeling 394 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: it's a little better this week. It's all right, it's 395 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: all right, all right, let's go to j C. What 396 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: do you got for us? Las Vegas has our over 397 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,719 Speaker 1: under at six and a half. I can't see this 398 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: TIM team winning more than seven or eight games. If 399 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 1: we win that many, I'll absolutely consider this season of success. Yeah, 400 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: I mean, this kind of hits the theme I've been 401 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: talking about all off season. Brian. You know, I don't 402 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: think it's a nine or ten win team yet because 403 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be inconsistencies on offense because of 404 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: a young group learning a new scheme. I think you're 405 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: gonna see a lot of improvement out of the team 406 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: where there's gonna be mondays where we come in here 407 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: and everybody's very excited about what's going on. But I 408 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: don't know that they're going to be consistent enough offensively 409 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: in a league where consistent, high scoring offense now wins. 410 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: But I think you're gonna like what you see att 411 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: a Trevor Lawrence. If you like which see at a 412 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, and you've had a lot of games where 413 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: you feel like the offense move in the right in 414 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: the right direction, and they get to seven, I'll take 415 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,239 Speaker 1: that in a minute. If they I'm on seven, by 416 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: the way, because I thought last year they could have 417 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: beaten the Falcons, the Texans and the Jets later in 418 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: the season, but they had incompetent coaching, and that costs 419 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: them the opportunity to go from three wins to perhaps 420 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: six wins in this season. Right. Of course, you could 421 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: argue they got that one at the end that they 422 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: weren't supposed to get, but so they were five or 423 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: six win team if they if they were well coached 424 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,959 Speaker 1: last year. So I think seven is about the right 425 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: number based on what they've added and how much better 426 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: I expect the quarterback to be. However, the one thing 427 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: that might get me to eight is if the turnover 428 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: ratio that we were talking about earlier, if this is 429 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: a team that creates turnovers and short fields and makes 430 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 1: it easy on an offense that's still figuring its way, well, 431 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 1: then you could perhaps get to eight. I just I'm 432 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: the seven number just sticks in my head. If they 433 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: get to eight and double the win total from the 434 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: last two seasons combined, hey man, everyone should be And 435 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: by the way, I think it's worth saying if at 436 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: the end of this year they only have six wins, 437 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: but the quarterback is playing well right, and you can 438 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: see the development, you can see it, then it's all 439 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: about right and itched you for a team that we 440 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: don't think the playoff team, you know what to look for. 441 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 1: Your eyes will tell you what this team is doing 442 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,959 Speaker 1: and how capable it is. At the end of the season, 443 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: when people want to say seven, they get angry, Well, 444 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: they won three. I mean they won three last year, 445 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: why can't they be I think also, what you need 446 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: to look for this year out of the fourteen losses 447 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: and I'm I'm sure I'm exaggerating that, but it felt 448 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: like eleven. It wasn't even a game where you just 449 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: felt like they were overmatched. I don't think you're gonna 450 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: have an overmatched feeling out of this team this year. 451 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: I think the first step towards playoff contention is winning 452 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: a few more and feeling like you match up against everybody. 453 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: This team didn't do that last year. It's got to 454 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,959 Speaker 1: take that step. Yeah, and we always talk about being relevant, right, 455 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: being on the graphic. Seven eight wins get you to 456 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: that that slight feeling at the end of the year. Well, okay, 457 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: if we win this one, we got a chance. Well 458 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: that's where you want to be if you ask if 459 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: by chance to play your point, If by chance you're 460 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: somewhere around Thanksgiving and you're saying, hey, look if this 461 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: then that, well that'll own. We'll give you that feeling 462 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: of hope coming. All right, let's stay here in Jacksonville. 463 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: We'll go to Ronald. Last time I counted, there has 464 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: been a six turnover on the roster. Would you expect 465 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: some struggles as this key team gets to know one another. Well, 466 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: it's a little high, I corrected, Ronald. Um, I think 467 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 1: it's about which is still a little high. Although the 468 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: league this in this era, the league turns the roster 469 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: every year, so isn't that unusual? Um? But Toronald's point, 470 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: if it's not six, there are a lot of key 471 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: areas that turn that have turned over often. Most teams 472 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: huge turnover number is at the bottom of the roster. 473 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 1: This roster has changed a lot at the top with 474 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: some with a lot of key players. I think the 475 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: reason you're going to see some struggles is the coaching change. 476 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: If Trevor struggles a little bit in the offense, it's 477 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: not it doesn't mean he's not developing. It means there 478 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: is an adjustment period to where the verbage, the things 479 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: that he has to do with the line of scrimmage. 480 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: A tenth of a second a line of scrimmage can 481 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: mean a lot. If he's thinking a little bit about 482 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: the change, he's thinking a little bit about the new 483 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: scheme that will go away in time in this offense. 484 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: I think that's where you'll see struggles is because of 485 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: that first year element. I think you can see struggles 486 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: because you open on the road, and despite whoever you're playing, 487 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: it is tough to win on the road. The Jackers, 488 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: by the way, have lost seventeen consecutive games away from home. 489 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: It's way too many. But then you come home home 490 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: and you get a Colts team that's that wrote the 491 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: score of the game that was here last year on 492 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: painted it in their locker rooms. So you and Matt 493 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: Ryan and Jonathan Taylor and then you go to l 494 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: A to take on the Chargers. I mean, there could 495 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: be some struggles early for a team that's got turnover 496 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: because of the schedule and the opponents that are in 497 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: front of you. Right, and even when we go to 498 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: training camp or we go to preseason, we kept talking 499 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 1: about Trevor and we have three good days in row, 500 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: and then there'd be a day they're like, all right, 501 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: you know, we solve the inconsistencies. And I agree with you, John, 502 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: that's going to take some time. They painted the score. Yeah, yeah, 503 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: it's it's painting. It's it's painted. That's why I love 504 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 1: it so much. I mean, I can't wait a little much. 505 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,479 Speaker 1: I can't wait for next week in week two, just 506 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: because of the rich storylines, whether it's you know, or 507 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: say standing out front of his jet, you know, whining 508 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: to the camera about losing in Jacksonville seven straight years, 509 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: or Frank Wright, who I think is one of the 510 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: better coaches, and even Keeled actually painting the score of 511 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 1: that one game in the locker. But the other ones, Yeah, 512 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: I just it'll be fine. The drama. I love it, 513 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: and we need a more favor in all right. Brian, 514 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: you wrote a question and from Middleburg is just you know, 515 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: how do you think the Jaguars defense will be this year? 516 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: Count me in for top ten in the league. Wow? Yeah, 517 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: I don't with defense in this day and age. Um 518 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: I guess top ten in terms of yards? Fine, and 519 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: we talked better than this show, Brian. Want to see 520 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: out of this defense? Can you get a pass rush 521 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: when it masks? First of all? Can you stop the run? 522 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: Can you get in situations rush in the pastor and 523 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: then when it's third and seven? Am I thinking that 524 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: the quarterback is going to have time? Or am I 525 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: thinking that he's not gonna have time? And if he 526 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: doesn't have time, then I think that turnover number is 527 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: gonna go way up. Uh, I would like to see 528 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 1: a I'm more concerned about seeing a positive turnover ratio 529 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: from this team that I am exactly where the defense finishes. 530 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: I think it will be a defense that's in the 531 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: top half of the league when you if if you 532 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: could watch all three D two teams and get a 533 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 1: feel for it, I think this defense will feel like 534 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: a top half of the league def I'm with you. 535 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about what the number says statistically. However, 536 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: the eye test will tell you'll be able to look 537 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: at the defense and feel the situation. Third and eight 538 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Jacks leading by a field goal? Can the 539 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: defense get a stop right? You'll be able to see that. 540 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: Your eyes will tell you whether this is one of 541 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: the better defenses in the league or if they come 542 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: up short. Still needs something right. An art and key. 543 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: Throughout the entire preseason training camp kept screaming top five, 544 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: top five. He wants this defense to be top Absolutely, 545 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: that's what you wanted to would be a huge jump 546 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: from last season, that's for sure, and that is ozone snatchop. 547 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: When you come back on the Jaguars oginal networks. Some 548 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: closing thoughts. Big week ahead as we get ready for 549 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders this Sunday and away game to start 550 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: this season, and a lot going on.
