1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: Jaguars. Did you don't Jack Jack Warris, did you know 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 1: Jaguars R Time Ryan Sex steps that John O's agent. Actually, 3 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: Jaguarris drive Time starts right now. I think I think 4 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: greatness with the team. I'm still gonna push this team 5 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: to get better and better and metal that makes that 6 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: everybody all right, we can do that. Hey, watch each 7 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: other tonight, protect each other. Well, have a job, get 8 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:36,959 Speaker 1: yourself ready to go. I got a short turnaround. That's 9 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: the Jaguars locker room on a happy Saturday night. Jaguars 10 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: performed admirably against the Falcons on that field in the 11 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: final preseason warm up for at least the starters. And 12 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: it was a happy time. Obviously. The Marquis Lee injury 13 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: Castle Paul As people were worried about their teammate. Sunday though, 14 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: things changed in downtown Jacksonville. And look, you can turn 15 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: on a news station this morning and you probably did 16 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: yesterday and find out what happened at the landing. You know, 17 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: the investigation that continues at the landing, um our hearts 18 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: and minds, and you know we're residents of Jacksonville, we 19 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: are citizens of downtown and that we work here. We're 20 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: here all the time. The landing is a place all 21 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: of us have been um so we're concerned about it, 22 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: just like you. We're not going to spend a lot 23 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: of time on it this morning, because maybe this is 24 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: where you're getting a break from it. We do want 25 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: to share with you, though, the statement from Jaguar's owners 26 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: Shot Khan, who's very invested in downtown, and it says 27 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: right there, it's impossible to comprehend today's news. I'm heartbroken 28 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: for the families and friends of the victims and can 29 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: only express my deepest condolences as we try to understand 30 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: why and how this can happen, not only here but anywhere. 31 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: What I can say is I know today what lifelong 32 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: Jacksonville residents have known forever. We're resilient, compassionate, and remarkably 33 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: supportive of our neighbors and friends, particularly in the most 34 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: trying occasions. This tragedy will bring the best of all 35 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: of us, but I know we will respond. So again, 36 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: Downtown is a special place to us as well, and 37 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: our thoughts and prayers are with the families today, and 38 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: we move on to football this morning as they progress 39 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: with their investigation. With that good morning, Yeah, it really 40 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: want yesterday it was not a good day at all. 41 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: I wrote NEOs on this morning. I don't know how 42 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: to make sense this sort of thing, so uh and 43 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: not good enough to try. I know there's connections because 44 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: of Madden me because if it's downtown Jacksonville, US, But yeah, 45 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: no words, unfortunately. Yeah. The first thing I thought of 46 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: is was it a drag Wars event? And when I 47 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: found out it wasn't, I was relieved because we all 48 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: know people here in the events department who are out 49 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: and about in the community doing things like that. So again, 50 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: we promise you will focus on football this morning, but 51 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: to like you, it is on our mind. So let's 52 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: talk a little bit about football and we'll start with 53 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: um with big things this morning. In the big thing, 54 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: it's good, better and best. We know this team is good, 55 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: that's no question. We knew they were getting better during 56 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: training camp. But are they the best? Are they the best? 57 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: Like some of those people in the locker room are saying. 58 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: I spoke to Calais Campbell after the game against the 59 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: Falcons and asked him what his expectations are for two 60 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 1: thou eighteen and if they can be the best. Here's 61 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: what he had to say, I mean, I want to 62 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: take a one kind at a time, but this term 63 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: is very of one and at all a matter of preparation, execution, 64 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 1: and just starting in the government. You know, John, I 65 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: couldn't help. But as I watched, especially the defensive performance again, uh, 66 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: as strong as they were third down keeping, keeping the 67 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: Falcons with Matt Ryan out of the end zone and 68 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: forcing field goal attempts. They were good against the Saints. 69 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: They were better than Minnesota, and in Minnesota um and 70 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: then gosh, they got Jalen Ramsey and Dante Fowler back. 71 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: They didn't have a j boy and yet look at 72 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: what we saw from that first team defense. I mean, 73 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,839 Speaker 1: Marcell Darus and Sean Gibson were out before the half 74 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: was done. So yeah, to me, that's the best defensive 75 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: roster in the league. I keep going back to something 76 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: I said early in training camp. When you talk to 77 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: these guys, there's a feeling. I'm not sure I've ever 78 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: been around a team quite with this kind of feeling. 79 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: When I covered the Colts, people sort of understood they 80 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: were good because they had star power that people knew about. 81 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: You always knew about Petency and New When I covered 82 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: the Jaguars in the nineties. Once they got good in 83 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: nineties six, it was nobody really doubted that that team 84 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: was good back then. So this team still feels a 85 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: little under the radar in a sense. And I keep 86 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: going back to the thought that this team can't wait 87 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: to get to the regular season so it can start 88 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: flexing its muscles, so it can show that they feel 89 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: like this is their year. They feel like they're capable 90 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: of something special. Um, they're so far ahead of what 91 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: they were this time last year. They were good. Last year, 92 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: I was they went to the FC Championship game almost wonted. 93 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: But yes, the defense and there's things they do. They 94 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: seem to have that ability even more than the last year, 95 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: to close the door on third down, to get things. 96 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: There are certain pressure points and games we have to 97 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: perform well. This team on defense especially seems to be 98 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: able to do that. But it's so much further ahead offensively. 99 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: When you see them be able to move the ball 100 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: the way they've been able to move it, I get 101 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: the intercession with the way forwards like it. It's gonna 102 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: be a topic, but and move all against Minnesota. Remember 103 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: on one drive and then on the next drive they 104 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: got out of their own underneath their own goal posts. 105 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: They're able to move the ball. You get the sense 106 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: that this team is going to be able to run 107 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: and do what they want to do. This team has 108 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: an identity, and it feels like they're gonna be able 109 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: to play to that identity at a high light. Let 110 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: me speak to that identity quick. Just just to share 111 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: a story, I was told by my brother in law 112 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: who had a group of buddies in college, guys from Chicago. Um, 113 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: they don't see this team very often, and yet they 114 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: were down on the field before the game and they 115 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: were in front of the defensive line. They knew every name. 116 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you said star power. These guys were well 117 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: aware that they were watching the best defensive line of football. 118 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: And again, different conference, different division, different part of the country, 119 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: and this defensive line's reputation is league wide. I was 120 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: willing to have star power, which i've it's also no 121 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: thing to have all those guys be legitimately good. Sometimes 122 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: the NFL star power, you're a star, but you're at 123 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: the end of your career and not really producing. All 124 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: these guys who talked about with star power, and we've 125 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: talked about Brian They've got all these guys who were 126 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: doing were either in the Pro Bowl last year or 127 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: have been in the Pro Bowl. Even the guys who 128 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: have been the Pro Bowl who weren't there last year 129 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: two Sean Gibson, Marcel Darius that got it's not even 130 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: sivable they could be in the Pro And they're not 131 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: guys who are walking in here on their last legs. 132 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: They're playing at a high level. You've got eight nine 133 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: guys on defense who you could argue are among the 134 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: top three or four at their position in the NFL. 135 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: This is a perfect storm in terms of the ability 136 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: to put an elite, memorable defense on the field. Ashton 137 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: at any point in the preseason, we've seen guys on 138 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, especially number seven flash with 139 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: star power as he did it on a Saturday night. Absolutely, 140 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: and I think when we asked the question good better 141 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: best be automatically just say the defense. But I liked 142 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: what you said about this team has a reputation for 143 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: running the ball, and I think they're fitting for that, 144 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: especially that last preseason, which they just write a big 145 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: thing too. It does running wild. So we know that 146 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: this team had a great offensive standpoint with the Falcons, 147 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: especially with the running back Stunnen Maron introduced a multiple 148 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: running back formation against the Vikings. We saw more of 149 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: it against the Falcons. And here's the reasoning why. I 150 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: just think we're trying to get you know, playmakers on 151 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: the field, you know, the same thing with like you know, 152 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: Lendon be out there on third down a little bit more. 153 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: But you know t J we know can care to 154 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: load on first and second down, you know, and Corey 155 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: is a guy that has some speed. That's a really 156 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: good change up for those two. So we're just trying to, 157 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: you know, continue to look at ways that you know, 158 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: can help us move the football. Really, you know, I 159 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: really think, and we're gonna watch some of these plays 160 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: and four NET was just this This particular run was 161 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: just sensational um as you watch him cut back, and 162 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: you know there's Austin Seferian Jenkins who told Fred Taylor 163 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: and I on a Friday evening that he couldn't wait 164 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: to be out front blocking this tight end. Now, he 165 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: likes to catch the ball. Tight Ends like to be 166 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: a part of the offense um. But they had Corey 167 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: Grant and they put him in situations on that one 168 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: in particular, there was a fake to Leonard who ran 169 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: out into the flat as a receiver, and a handoff 170 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: to Corey, and this just placed the Blake bortal strength John. 171 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: I mean, he's great at selling the play action. He 172 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: may not be great at standing in the pocket and 173 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 1: firing the ball on a dime seventy yards down the field, 174 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: but this is what he does. Yeah, this team is 175 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: going to run, whether it's running well or not. I 176 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: mean we saw that last year. It's committed to the run. 177 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: It seems to be much the offensive players seem to 178 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: have much more of an idea. You usually think about 179 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: continuity and understanding of the offense is part of the 180 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: passing game because you think, well, the receivers know where 181 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: they're going. That's usually proceeded more to be the more 182 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: complex part. It seems like this offensive unit right now 183 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: understands what it wants to do running the ball. Maybe 184 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: it's because there was so much misdirection the other night 185 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: and so much Okay, we're gonna go this way, we're 186 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: gonna fake, we're gonna use Leonard and Corey, which are 187 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: different kind of looks, but they seem to have a 188 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: much better idea at this point than they did at 189 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: this point last year. What they want to do also, 190 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: I think something that's significant. You know, I get that 191 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about Markis later in the show. Uh, 192 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: once he went down, including Marquis. The other night, they 193 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: threw to thirteen different guys. Now you might say, well 194 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: that's the preseason, but eleven of those guys or ten 195 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: of m I counted up the other day, are guys 196 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 1: are gonna be on the roster and probably active. So 197 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: that to me is what this offense is gonna be passing. Uh. 198 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: You can say, well, Blake's not throwing the ball down 199 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: field or he's not doing this, but I think you're 200 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: seeing that this is gonna be an offense that includes 201 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: a lot of different guys. You could see a game 202 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: where O'Shaughnessy, Austin, Defari, and Jenkins, five receivers and three 203 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,599 Speaker 1: running backs all touched the ball, not just running for 204 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: the running backs Faz receivers. You could see a lot 205 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: of games we have eight or nine receivers in the offense. 206 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: I really liked it. You know, we talked as they 207 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: moved the ball up and down the field, and they 208 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: did you know, I mean, especially that long drive where 209 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: you had the Donte moncreef after the Marquis injury came 210 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: in with the thirty seven yard reception, and then you 211 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: had the twenty one yard run to set up the 212 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: twenty one yard run. I mean, and how much better 213 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: do you feel as offense now that you've seen that 214 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: Donte moncrief play, especially considering Marquis so that that's why 215 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: they signed him, and that's why I don't think they're 216 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: gonna make a move at that spot. But that's what 217 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: he can do and they've got a good mixed receiver 218 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: to do that. They had three hundred four total yards. 219 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: I think it was a three or in three as 220 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: a first team offense, which means they had three yards 221 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: first half, the first series of the second That's a 222 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 1: lot of yards, Ashley. If you if you multiply three 223 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: hundred two, it's six and that's a lot of yards 224 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: in an NFL game. So it's uh. I don't think 225 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: the math has changed that much, but that's significant because 226 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 1: they got a lot of it running. They looked overpowering, 227 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: and they looked again. I keep going back to, they 228 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: look like they really know what they want to do. 229 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: All these things we talked about season, Well, what are 230 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: you gonna see because these guys are in their second 231 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: year in this system. What's that year of experience Doug 232 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: Marown has been around. I think you're seeing just a 233 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: team that looks a lot more ready going into the 234 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: regular season. Well, and look, they'd hack It is a 235 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: clever offensive mind. But last year he couldn't even open 236 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: up his entire playbook. He was just trying to get 237 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: the offense installed. You saw when they had t J 238 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: Yeldt and Corey Grant on the field at the same time. Right, 239 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: two guys who are excellent receivers out of the backeld, 240 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: but two guys that can run between the tackles as well. 241 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: That's when you start to see just what he is 242 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: capable of doing. So it'll be fun to watch this 243 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: offense this year as Nate Hackett gets deep into the playbook. Yeah, 244 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: we've heard Doug Brown say all the time that he 245 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: wants to get playmakers on the field. He wants to 246 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 1: find a way, and it seems to be that that's 247 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: working all right, Big thing three wrap them in bubble wrap. 248 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: So we knew that the third preseason game was going 249 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: to be address rehearsal for these starters. The fourth preseason game, 250 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: you hope to see if very little, if not any 251 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: of them. And with Marquis Lee's injury, we're not sure 252 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: of the official word of his injury. We're gonna hear 253 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 1: from Doug Rowne at eleven o'clock on the official word. 254 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: You hope that he just stays healthy and that the 255 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: fourth preseason game we don't see any of these guys. 256 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: So you were there, Ashley on Friday night when Doug 257 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: was talking about how he just believed that the starters 258 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: needed the time to play together, play fast and into 259 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: the third quarter. But he turned and said, nah, but 260 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: don't you know, look, if we have a rash of injuries, 261 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: don't be surprised if I changed my philosophy like that. Um, 262 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: he didn't, really, to be honest with you, I thought 263 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,719 Speaker 1: after the Marquise injury he might pull a couple of 264 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: guys out. He didn't. I mean, Leonard play it into 265 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: the third quarter. So let's deal with the Marquis injury 266 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: and what we know. Obviously, Doug will address it in 267 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: a few hours. Um. Uh, it was ugly, you know 268 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 1: when you see it in replay and you're talking about 269 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: losing a guy who, Yeah, he's not been a thousand 270 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: yard or attend touchdown guy. However, in the middle of 271 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: the field, he is a guy who can make a 272 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 1: big play, catch a big first down, and as we 273 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: saw right there be explosive Yeah, he's just the veteran 274 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,719 Speaker 1: guy as well. We see all these young wide receivers. 275 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: He's the guy that they've been looking to and you 276 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: still need that crunch when I see them. You lost 277 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 1: him on a play that he does so well, and 278 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: you lost him on a play that Blake Bortles feels 279 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: confident in him and that confidence he grew last year. 280 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: You also lost a guy who is uh a big 281 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: part of the offense. I hate to use the word spiritual. 282 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: Bit is that's right. They like him. He rallied around 283 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: Blake early last year. Um, they also lost a guy 284 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: who is a very underrated downfield blocker. And when if 285 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: you talk about blocking with receivers and people's eyes roll, 286 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: but with this offense, he bought into blocking, which helps 287 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: other receivers by into blocking, he was the leader in 288 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: that room. Um, the reality is you have enough depth 289 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: at this position where this is this doesn't feel like 290 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: the killer that Alan Robinson felt like last year you 291 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: are still capable of being good at that position, but 292 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: you lost something. In terms of Brian, we've talked before 293 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: about I'm a big believer that quarterbacks need certain things 294 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: from receivers that they feel confident those receivers can do, 295 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: so that when they dropped back, they know, I'm sure 296 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: this guy's can be able to do this. I can 297 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: count on it. I can put the ball there without 298 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: thinking about it, Marquis on the crossing route, even Marquis 299 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: on on the little ball up down the sidelines. Blake 300 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: had worked with him enough where that felt comfortable. That 301 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: will be missed. I think all of us would be 302 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: stunned if we heard anything from Doug other than he's 303 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: lost for the year. Yeah, I mean judgment by the injury, 304 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: judgment by the way it is. I hope he plays again, 305 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: That's what all of us. I don't want to jump 306 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: the gun because I think he will, but it's it's 307 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: that kind of injury where you look at you go, boy, 308 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: I hope this is not a nerve damage situation. The 309 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: way it bent. You worry about that, but that's speculation. 310 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: It's not fair to put all that out there yea 311 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: Dougle tell us everything you know. It's about eleven o'clock, 312 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: So we go there. All right, We are wrapped up 313 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: with big things.

It started off really strong for the defense. 334 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: Malik Jackson. We're going to start off another dominant performance 335 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: from him, and he started off really strong from the gate. Okay, 336 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,479 Speaker 1: he was strong. Here we go do a little bit 337 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: of pressure, get dropped, Belie, Jackson spun away from the 338 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: offensive line. But you know it's funny. We we spent 339 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: so much time talking about Calais Campbell. We've talked a 340 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: lot John about Marcel Darius. He this guy kind of 341 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: gets forgotten except on pay day of course. No, he 342 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,719 Speaker 1: doesn't forget paid either. Um. He's a little bit of pressure, 343 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: a guy who's impressive. He started off last year, I think, 344 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: not playing the way he wanted to and came along 345 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: and by the end was playing up to his Pro 346 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 1: Bowl level. And he's a guy who adds the extra 347 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: element and that you can get edge rush in this league, 348 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: but in this division with mobile quarterbacks, and in this 349 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: day and age of the mobile quarterbacks, a key to 350 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: the past rush is to be able to get penetration 351 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,479 Speaker 1: up the middle. Marcel Darius can do that more than 352 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: most nose tackles. He's special on that level. But Malie Jackson, 353 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: that's what he does. He gives you interior rush. When 354 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: you put him alongside Claius when they're both rushing on 355 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: the interior, It's really what makes the Jaguars pass rush different. 356 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: A lot of teams can get edge rushed because they 357 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: spend a lot of money there, but when you can 358 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: do it on the interior, also, the guy has got 359 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: no place to step up. A bigger part of the 360 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 1: NFL game these days is that uh Malik's presence and 361 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: his ability to beat his guy one on one quickly 362 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: is a big part of why this defense especially and 363 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: he is a big man who moves extraordinarily quickly and 364 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: is very light on his feet for a defensive tackle. 365 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: Most of the time we think about defensive tackles in 366 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: this league, we think about guys that are shoving and pushing. 367 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: He's shooting gaps and getting around guys. He also is 368 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: a guy who came in here as a free agent 369 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 1: and I think has been underrated. We gave a lot 370 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: of credit to to clay As Campbell and boy A 371 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: last year and and guys who came in, because when 372 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: they came in, there was all of a sudden, this 373 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: big rush of success. But it was really Malik who 374 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: started this thing. Before Malik signed here, there was a 375 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: perception that the Jaguars couldn't get free agents. He was 376 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: really Now I'm not saying Malik looked at Jackson and said, 377 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go make that city great. He got paid 378 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: to be here, no question, but it was a tough 379 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: first season for him. And he never during that season 380 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: when you would have thought a free agent coming in 381 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: from a successful organization could have easily come in and 382 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: started being a malcontent, could have started saying, hey, it's 383 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: not me, it's not my fault. You never got that 384 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: from him. He was always we're going to figure out 385 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: a way to get this done here, um, and I 386 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: think he should be lauded for that necessarily, But guys 387 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: have gone a different direction, and he certainly never did. 388 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: I think that's a big reason why it continued going 389 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: in the right direction. So Aleik with a sack tackle 390 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: for a loss Anna her he set the tone early 391 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 1: for the game. We just talked about Marquis Lee going down. 392 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: I think we all thoughts to ourselves. Someone's got to 393 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: set up Dante Donte mon creef the just that Ordos 394 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: looking he's got Moncrief's got group wants up the steam. 395 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: He's across brick field. What preper move to the outside? 396 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: Trints outsiders Aldo thirty seven yards there And we had 397 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 1: seen some of that on the practice field. John, that 398 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: was the first time we saw him with the first 399 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: team offense really nake a difference. Yeah, and so often 400 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: in preseason. I get it because I do it too. 401 00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: You you quick trigger analyzed the first two games, and 402 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: then as you're sitting there watching the third game, you 403 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: start thinking about logically, you realize, I just quick triggered 404 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: a half of football, because that's really what the first 405 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: two preseason games are. If you take the entirety of 406 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: Dante Moncrease preseason, he's now played about a game. I 407 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: think he's got eight catches for a hundred and not 408 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: twenty three yards. We would be a good game. And 409 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: so there is a tendency after those first two games 410 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: say this guy had been in the offense, well the 411 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: offense play been in the field for a half. It 412 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: would be like writing a guy off because he didn't 413 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: have a good half in the opening. So Dante Moncreeve 414 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,199 Speaker 1: I think has had a good preseason. He's shown what 415 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 1: he is. There were glimpses early during training camp where 416 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: he was beating Jalen Ramsey and he was making plays, 417 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: and he was making plays physically going over Jalen. I'm 418 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: not saying he was dominating Jaalen, but he was making 419 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: enough to make you think this guy, if he's healthy, 420 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: can be a go to receiver in enough situations they 421 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: don't need him to be the go to guy. Well, 422 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: he can certainly make plays when he has to make 423 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: the Starting the season, d J. Chark, we thought was 424 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: gonna be the fourth option, right, he's now going to 425 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: buy the injury to Marquees have to move up a notch. 426 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Marquis is a nine million dollar guy. 427 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 1: This year, you're replacing him, we assume, right, we'll find 428 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: out at eleven with a nine million dollar guy. Not 429 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: many teams have that luxury. Last year, they certainly didn't 430 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: have that luxury when they replaced Alan Robinson with Alan 431 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: Hearns and Marquise and they didn't have that guy. What 432 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: the guys there, well, This is why I mean, this 433 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: is why you don't cut good football players, because it's 434 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: a league of attrition. You have to expect that you're 435 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: going to have an injury like this. It's the only 436 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: sport where an injury happens on legal plays. Now, he 437 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: got penalized the other night, But in baseball, basketball usually 438 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: injuries are mistakes or their court. It happens in this sports, 439 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: you have to prepare for it. They're probably better prepared 440 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: wide receiver than another position, including defensive line, in terms 441 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: of if somebody got hurt they could replace. Because I 442 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: think this will mean Rashade Green and Jadad Makin's on 443 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: their roster. You feel fine with with Rashad Green is 444 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: your fifth guy. What's funny. I was at breakfast with 445 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: my dad Sunday morning. He goes, you gotta call des Bryant, 446 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: you gotta call him. You gotta get a big guy 447 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: in here. And I was like, Dad, you don't they 448 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: have guys, They have the roster the depth to do it. 449 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 1: To your Dad's that guy? Oh he's that get him 450 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: in here. Yeah, we don't need him in here, all right. 451 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 1: So Dante Moncrief, we know he stepped up. We talked 452 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: about the running back packages. Corey Grant had himself a 453 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: big day. Here's one of his big runs. Corey Grant 454 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: checks in with Leonard Burnette. Now Gretti emotion. Here's they 455 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: had all the court. Grant with sweet he's got un 456 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: look at it, got side. But to want such an 457 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: electrifying player, we watched him last year with punt return 458 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: in Baltimore against Baltimore, London punt return here against the Chargers, 459 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: and the guy just has that quality of finding the 460 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: open field and getting to his top gear so quickly. 461 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 1: It's funny when you look at his from the combined 462 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: his speed from you know when he ran track, he's 463 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: got Fred Taylor speed. He's not quite as big as 464 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: Fred obviously, but he's got that Bam. Here I go 465 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: give him the ball. John just find ways to get 466 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: him the ball. Well, he's gotten to the point now 467 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: where UH teams have to game plan for him, and 468 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: that's significant because if you're going to have him in 469 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: the game on these packages, especially when you have it's 470 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: why it makes a lot of sense to have him 471 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: in the game. With Fournett the last year and Corey 472 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: Grams in the game, teams would look would I assume 473 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: would look at it, but not worry about because they 474 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: hadn't seen him before. Now, when he's in the game, 475 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: if you send him in a direction, you better have 476 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: two or three guys running that way, because if he 477 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 1: beats one guy, he's gonna score. Uh. You would think 478 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: that that's going to give them an advantage when they 479 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: go back the other way with four neett It's it's 480 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: a reason I expect to see Corey Grant on the 481 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: field a lot. He may not get the ball enough 482 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: in some games to satisfy fans because he might he 483 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,719 Speaker 1: drawn the defense the other way. Teams have to have 484 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: guys in the field that other teams have to game 485 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: plan for to move the defense and directions to allow 486 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: things open up for the rest of the players. All Right, 487 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna end our last highlight with Leonard 488 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: for of course in a great way for him to 489 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: go out of the preseason in style. Well, it's twenty 490 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: one yard line. There's four nan of the two years 491 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: started going down pets back looks were a great and 492 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: he's got one. He's on the ruggle that had his team. 493 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: He's criminal to pass on letter for that for twenty 494 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: one yards out of the Jaguars have their first leave. 495 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: You know, the great run, and we obviously know what 496 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: he's capable of. But the part that I loved was 497 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: watching Austin's Defari and Jenkins out there waving him on, 498 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: let's go, because he's gonna tackle him. He told us, 499 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: He told us on Friday night because one of the 500 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 1: reasons that he really was excited about coming to Jacksonville 501 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: was the chance to block for this guy. He was 502 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: ready for it. How many tight ends say I can't 503 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: wait to block? Um? A lot of him say it. 504 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: A lot of them don't mean it. Marcus Pollard, who 505 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: I cover for a while, Hell I said it. He 506 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: didn't mean it. Um. But I'm assuming that whoever says 507 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: it needs a conversation. Yes, he's gonna make a difference there. 508 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: I also thought you saw Safari and Jenkins start to 509 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: show the first wrinkle of what he's gonna mean with 510 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: the fifteen yard reception where he's such a big target 511 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: and they haven't had that as much as for Net 512 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: and he was impressed with the other night. Um. It 513 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,959 Speaker 1: was very encouraging that on that run, Brian, and on 514 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: several other runs that you saw that muck that was 515 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: always there in the interior of the line last year 516 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: didn't seem to be there as much. And when I 517 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: say that, I mean not defenders at these guys feet 518 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: when they get started. That was the idea of getting Norwell, 519 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: having Lender, who didn't play the other night, but a 520 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: j can as well. If aj is playing at as 521 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 1: high levels he seems to be in training camp and 522 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: Norwell is what we think we saw the other night. 523 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, those runs happened more. I don't 524 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: I don't think it's coincidental that all three of those 525 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: running backs the lowest yards pacary average was a point 526 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: six the other night, and they all had at least 527 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: four carries. I want to say, uh, one of them 528 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: is over five, one of them over six yards to carry. 529 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: You're not gonna get that during the regular season, but 530 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: the threat of that, the fact that that is what 531 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 1: you're capable of, is going to open up everything else. 532 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: There's the guy I mean yelled at just has been 533 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: at another level this summer, and having him play that 534 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 1: high just the options you're abundant. All right. When we 535 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 1: come back to Jags drive time on a Monday morning, 536 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: here at t I a bank Fields own snapshot steps 537 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: up to the plate.

I'm 561 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: not even gonna ask if you're read anymore, because I 562 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: just know you are ready. That's your line. All right, 563 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: let's go amazing. You're one guy who can take one 564 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: line and where other people would just beat it into submission, 565 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: you find a way to make it fine. Well, Um, 566 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: that yeah, one of a few. All right, let's go 567 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: to pont avidra Beach. Rob has a question for Zone. 568 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: Does Marquis Lee's injury to the scale towards Rashad green 569 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: sor as he is a more serviceable receiver. I'm not 570 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: sure it tells a scale. I think he needs to 571 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: makes the team. Um, And I'm sure the question was 572 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: in reference to all the talk we've had about Jadon 573 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: Mickens and Rashid and uh green sor Um. I think 574 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: they both make the team. I think it. It gives 575 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: them the chance to have Jaden Mickins as your return 576 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: or feel great about it not have to force d 577 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: D into that role. Not that you were forcing it, 578 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: but they wanted him, you know, wanted him to win 579 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: that battle. Well. I think they wanted him to win 580 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: it for the roster spot. I don't think that anything 581 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: against uh Mickens, because I think Mickens has done it well. 582 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: Um Rashad Green, I don't think it's necessarily going to 583 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: be a mega explosive guy, but he's what you need. 584 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: I had kind of thought for a little while that 585 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: Rashad Green, what might happen is that he might get 586 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: released because of the numbers game, and then he might 587 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: be a guy who if there was an injury in 588 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: September that you'd feel comfortable bringing him back because you 589 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: knew he was going to know it. If if he 590 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: would even be available, he might have gotten picked up. 591 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: But he was I thought he might have a chance 592 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: to be that guy. Now I think he's on the roster. 593 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: I think you feel fine about it, um, and he's 594 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: done enough where you like having that guy around. I 595 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: don't think you want him starting necessarily, but if somebody 596 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: gets hurt as a punt returner. You have no qualms 597 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: about sending him in and you feel good about it. 598 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: It's another example of this team being at a point 599 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: in its development where they have unusual depth. Well and 600 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: you know it as well as I. He is the 601 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: most suited to be a slot receiver, the most natural 602 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: slot receiver that they have. Westbrook runs a lot of 603 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: the same routes that Markus does, So all of a sudden, 604 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: now you can see where Westbrook's game load would It 605 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: would seem to take on more guys into the slot. 606 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: I've seen Moncreef playing some in there. I think, um, 607 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: but Markis isn't a slot guy, and neither was Westbrook. 608 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: So you can pay where Westbrook is going to take 609 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: over some of Marquises load other than Green. When they 610 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: move guys into the slot, you feel like, well, they're 611 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: putting him in there for a few but you know 612 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: they're having to do it. They're asking him to do it. 613 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: They're getting that out of him. Green's the guy who 614 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,959 Speaker 1: can do it and feel very natural there. All right, 615 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: let's keep in Pontodra beach Bill. Any of Blake Bortles 616 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: detractors know how many picks he threw in the red 617 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: zone last year. They should look it up. Well, this 618 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: was one of about I think thirteen thousand Blake Bards 619 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: of the emails I got, and you know, I that 620 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: speaks to what I think people have to remember is 621 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: when the lights were on last year, he made plays 622 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: far more often than not in the situations where they 623 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 1: needed him to, he did what they needed to do. Um, 624 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not thrilled with the three interceptions. You 625 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: don't want to see that coming back. It's not how 626 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: he wanted to go into the regular season. But I 627 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: think last year he showed that he's very capable of 628 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: doing the right things, not giving the ball away in 629 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: the red zone when a matter. I'm saying, I'm never 630 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: have any reception this year in that situation. But I 631 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: don't think that's going to be his tendency. And again, 632 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: I'm not overly worried about Blake. I say overly because 633 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: I don't love the interceptions, but I just don't think 634 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: that that's going to be a thing that overwhelms this 635 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: team this year. Yeah, I think we have to wait 636 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: till regular season to really judge that. Zero's the answer. 637 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: By the way, he did not throw reds in interceptions. 638 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: I don't get to that very the lead. UM, but 639 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: I was I hoped you waited for me to be so. 640 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: And I'll go back to you. Thank you. You're very 641 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: good at that. UM. I go back to you know, 642 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: they're the play with Grant and for Ned in the 643 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: backfield where he play action to Leonard as Leonard went 644 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: out into the flat and then turned and gave the 645 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: ball to Corey. I think the misdirection. I think that 646 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: sort of pocket stuff. The presidence he is has part 647 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: of me that he bears this part of who he is. 648 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: And UM, I'm not worried about some interceptions. There's still 649 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: a little going on. And you know, even the other 650 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: night they hadn't used those packages a whole lot before. 651 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: So there is still a process where they are putting 652 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: in things to see if they work. There's still new 653 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: things and there are still things that will be coached. 654 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: Doug made reference to that in his press conference. There's 655 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: still things that they are coaching out of it. And 656 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: often these interceptions aren't just on one gap. You know, 657 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: here's the other thing with the interceptions. If he was 658 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: throwing pick sixers, which he did, earlier in his career, 659 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: then I might worry a little bit more. At this point, 660 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about it. We'll wait and see what 661 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: happens in the regular season. That was with a defense 662 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: like this, you don't worry about you used to. Absolutely not. 663 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: All right, we're not ending on a positive note. But 664 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,280 Speaker 1: that's okay, Mr arrogant from Utopia. I saw a player 665 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: to in an exhibition game that weren't perfectly executed. Consequently, 666 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 1: I've decided some players suck and should be replaced by 667 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: whose names I have heard before. Otherwise this team will 668 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: lose an inordinate number of games. You're welcome, fans everywhere. 669 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: I knew you'd want to know. I think he nailed it, 670 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: nailed it. I mean, that's Mr Arrogant, You're right, and 671 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: that's what you get in preseason. And I get that, 672 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:42,280 Speaker 1: but that's what um you follow your team so closely 673 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,839 Speaker 1: in the preseason, and but that I mean, fans, everybody 674 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: that you pick up part little things and everything that 675 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: happens bad you want, well, why don't we get this guy. 676 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: This is the team, and this is a good team, 677 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: and it's it's not flawless. It's not going to go 678 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: sixteen and O. But boy, when you saw what they 679 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 1: did the other night and we talked about the top 680 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: of the show, boy, do they look like a team 681 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: that is going to be one of the teams that 682 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: has a shot? And that's what you want to be 683 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: at the end of the year. I probably say this 684 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: every week. The sheet, the call sheet, the play sheet, 685 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: the notes that Doug works from in the preseason game 686 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 1: are completely different than a regular season game. I want 687 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: to see Dante Moncrief in the slot in the third quarter, 688 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 1: you know, I mean I want to see Blair Brown 689 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: lined up as strong side backer in the fourth quarter. 690 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: I want to see if this player works in the red. 691 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,800 Speaker 1: Absolutely so trying different down and distant situations. They're trying 692 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 1: to put guys in situations in play, in live actions 693 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: so that when they get to the regular season they know. 694 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: So if a guy, if a guy is playing in 695 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: a position that he normally doesn't write I don't mean position, 696 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 1: but maybe in the slot or lined up instead of 697 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: being an off the ball backer is put on the 698 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage of the strong side. They're working through 699 00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,839 Speaker 1: some things. Yeah, I love the other night when he said, 700 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: you're saying something about running the two backs, and he said, well, 701 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: we wanted to put it in a night because it 702 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: put it in the raular season. It didn't work, you guys, 703 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: and wonder why we had that crap in. And it 704 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: was really sort of telling about how he goes about things. 705 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: He thinks about it in a very meat and potatoes 706 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: kind of way. It's like, well, if we're gonna run 707 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: that in the regular season, we probably better see if 708 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 1: it works. And that's a lot of what they do 709 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: in the preseason. And understand that if that's what they're 710 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: showing you in the preseason, that it's just the tip 711 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: of the iceberg of what they've got play. Well. That's 712 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: what's intriguing about the two backs stuff is you know 713 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,399 Speaker 1: from his time in Buffalo that Nate and Doug, who 714 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: were together in Buffalo, have that in him. They know 715 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 1: how to run two bad, they know how to run heavy. 716 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 1: They led the league in rushing attempts one year in Buffalo. 717 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: That's what they are, uh now that they're comfortable with 718 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: what these backs can do again, it's not a coincidence 719 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 1: that they went out and got Norwell last year, you know, 720 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: and gave up Allen Robinson. This team wants to be 721 00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: able to do what it was doing the other night. 722 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: We'll take a break when we return the final segment 723 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 1: of Jags Drive Time on a Monday morning. Jaguars play 724 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: Thursday night in Tampa. Back after this in the Jaguars 725 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 1: Digital Network.

It's it's an arduous tax. He says 762 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 1: he got one wrong last week, and uh so he 763 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,440 Speaker 1: So those little icons, they don't just make themselves. They 764 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: actually somebody puts them on there, and they are to you, 765 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,839 Speaker 1: and I think they take glue and pet them. Yes, 766 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 1: they are to you with the lines on the field, 767 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,319 Speaker 1: or to me, they're fascinating. You can't wait to see 768 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 1: more of those test them every week? Yes, we also 769 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 1: can't forget Jags wired Wednesday night in Jaguar's weekend Sunday morning. 770 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,800 Speaker 1: What would we do without you? Actually? Big week TV shows, 771 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,359 Speaker 1: Television network. All right, we'll wrap up the show by 772 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 1: looking back to Friday at Players we wanted to watch, right, 773 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 1: and you Joe's wisely, That's what I do every dart 774 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: hits the board. I chose Andrew Norwell and Parnell and 775 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 1: it wasn't exactly rocket science to note that you were 776 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,439 Speaker 1: gonna have to look at them, but I thought that 777 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 1: what they showed and what the Jaguars offense showed again, 778 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 1: was that they're going to be able to drive people 779 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 1: off the ball. They're we want to get movement and 780 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 1: it's so key for what they're gonna want to do. 781 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: I'm it's getting interesting to see how people often think 782 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 1: of the running game is being boring right, Well, the 783 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 1: way Nate hack It runs it, I think it's going 784 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: to be very creative. I think we saw it the 785 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,359 Speaker 1: other night, and as you said earlier, if that's what 786 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 1: we've seen during preseason, I can't imagine how it's gonna 787 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 1: look and the rain calls that you're gonna see during 788 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:09,240 Speaker 1: the regular stage and moving forward to its struck out girl, Yeah, 789 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: I'll get better next week. I picked Ronnie Harrison, who 790 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 1: did not play, but you know what, that's okay. We 791 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: probably don't see him play much this week either, but 792 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:18,799 Speaker 1: after talking to guys in the locker room, to Shaan 793 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,880 Speaker 1: Gibson and Buried Church, they think he's going to have 794 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,479 Speaker 1: a huge regular season, So stay t impactful player for sure. 795 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 1: I took Dante Fowler Jr. And we didn't see a lot, 796 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 1: but I saw one pass rush that was all I 797 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 1: really needed to see, and it was against Matt Shop. 798 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 1: They were driving late in the ballgame in the fourth quarter, 799 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 1: and he came off the edge, just exploded up and 800 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: got in. He was so high that he blocked the 801 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: field division and then he came right down on top 802 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 1: of Shop. It was a great move. I get it. It 803 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 1: It wasn't against the first team offensive line, but he's 804 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 1: a guy that can do that. So you know, he's 805 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: only got a little time. I don't know how much 806 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,840 Speaker 1: is gonna play it at all. I'd play him in 807 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,880 Speaker 1: Tampa this week. Doug hinted last week. I think it 808 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,319 Speaker 1: was that that would be a question for this week. 809 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 1: So it's a possibility not on the roster for the 810 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,319 Speaker 1: first game because of the suspension. So if what I 811 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 1: saw from him is what we're going to get, you 812 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 1: wonder if if if Tavin Bryan might play, who was 813 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:17,839 Speaker 1: another guy that we were all watching that we didn't 814 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 1: mention in the segment. Looked like he got penetration. Looks 815 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,280 Speaker 1: like he's everything that they're hoping he'll be. And again 816 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 1: with these rookies that we're all talking about the way 817 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 1: this team is built right now, they're gonna have a 818 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: chance to come along and be guys. We're all of 819 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 1: a sudden in the third week, you're looking at the 820 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,360 Speaker 1: play count sheet and saying, well, this guy is playing 821 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 1: a little more each week, a little more each week. 822 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 1: It looks like Brian and Sharks certainly and perhaps even 823 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 1: Harrison have a chance to fit into that. But you know, 824 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 1: we talked about the first three obviously, but um logan 825 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 1: Cook hit the first point with thirty five yards, but 826 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,799 Speaker 1: the other two were high and they hung in the air. 827 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 1: And the reason that's important is because if he can 828 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,279 Speaker 1: flop the field like that with this defense, then he 829 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,239 Speaker 1: really is an impactful rookie because the field position that 830 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,759 Speaker 1: he gains won't be lost as often as if you 831 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 1: have a poor defense. But an important guy in that sense, 832 00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,360 Speaker 1: you're here to make sense of things. We also didn't 833 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,719 Speaker 1: mention Dante Foller Junior Jalen Ramsey in the locker room. 834 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,880 Speaker 1: I thought Dante Fowler especially handled himself very well. He 835 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 1: said he tried to set the tone. He said it 836 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 1: a little too much, and I thought he acted like 837 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 1: an adult and a professional. Well, again, he's in a 838 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 1: contract here, and not only are the things that are 839 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,240 Speaker 1: on tape for others to see, which he mentioned, important, 840 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,760 Speaker 1: but the things that he says that are on tape 841 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,319 Speaker 1: or in the printed material are going to be things 842 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,320 Speaker 1: He's going to be judged by by teams that say, 843 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 1: has this kid grown up enough for us to give 844 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 1: him a huge contract? Dante off the field with us. 845 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,719 Speaker 1: There was the initial press conference this year where he 846 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 1: was very quick, was in and out, wasn't in the 847 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 1: mood to be there. That I think for some people 848 00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 1: painted Dante in a bad light. For three or four 849 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:05,120 Speaker 1: years around here, Dante has been nothing but very pleasant 850 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 1: with the media people covering this team, usually smiling, very 851 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 1: accommodating that um, but you gotta Kurt is not what 852 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,719 Speaker 1: Dante is. No. No, but part of the growing up, 853 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 1: the maturation process is understanding you're in front of the 854 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 1: cameras even though I don't feel like being here, I 855 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,319 Speaker 1: better be myself. I better be that nice kid that's 856 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,280 Speaker 1: been around here, because you know, the perception of people's 857 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 1: mind is the videos the elevator, uh, the the issue 858 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,399 Speaker 1: in South Florida, the issue in St. Pete, and then 859 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 1: the video of him standing there going nope, yep, nope, 860 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 1: not in jail, am I and and walking out, Well, 861 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 1: that doesn't show a maturation process at all, and people 862 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 1: need to see that if he's gonna get paid, he's 863 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: gonna have to be able to prove to some degree 864 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,479 Speaker 1: that he's not going to be a complete liability off 865 00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 1: the field. You know he had paid, but I totally 866 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 1: agree that, but to get what he wants. But it 867 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 1: was promising to see him back for him. He is. 868 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,479 Speaker 1: He is a fun to be around, all right. That'll 869 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,879 Speaker 1: do it for the show. John Ozre, Ashlett Sullivan, Joe 870 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 1: Fortunata with a Hey Joe coming up tomorrow.
