Speaker 1: Hour is brought to you by the Saint John's River

Speaker 1: and YouTube and on Twitter at JP Shadwick at logs
Speaker 1: five to six because you're a huge social media Maven.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm real big into that. So hit
Speaker 2: us up on there. We'll be here for the next
Speaker 2: couple of hours.
Speaker 1: Of course, the Jaguars made an epic run on the
Speaker 1: stretch run in a while playoff comeback last season, but
Speaker 1: fell short in the Division round in Kansas City.
Speaker 2: Well we know this logs.
Speaker 1: For quarterback Trevor Lawrence, motivation is never an issue anyway,
Speaker 1: self motivated, all of that. But head coach Doug Peterson
Speaker 1: in his first address to the media of this training
Speaker 1: camp set, he's seen even more focused from number sixteen.
Speaker 3: His motivation has change, is probably enhanced a little bit more.
Speaker 3: You know, I think the guys, guys understand that they
Speaker 3: can be a good football team. He understands that this
Speaker 3: can be a good football team. And we just got
Speaker 3: to focus on that right, focus on us and and
Speaker 3: continue the process and continue the hard work. But he's
Speaker 3: he's in a really good place, you know, kind of
Speaker 3: to your point with the with the offense and stuff.
Speaker 3: We do lean on him, we do ask you know,
Speaker 3: him what he likes and doesn't like and try to
Speaker 3: refine it to the things that that the players like,
Speaker 3: you know, and that's that's a sign of you know,
Speaker 3: the I think the confidence that they have in us
Speaker 3: and we have in them that we can have these
Speaker 3: communications and conversations.
Speaker 1: Of course, that's head coach Doug Peterson. And yes it's
Speaker 1: year three for Trevor. Year two in this system, the
Speaker 1: baseline offense is in. They can just build from their logs.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I had a conversation with Press Taylor and the ota
Speaker 1: is about that very top picking about where you can
Speaker 1: go with the offense in year two, and he just said,
Speaker 1: it's amazing how many things that we didn't do last
Speaker 1: year just because we did want to add too much
Speaker 1: to the plate, so to speak, of all the players
Speaker 1: in the offense. And he goes in, especially when you
Speaker 1: have a young quarterback. He said, though, but now that
Speaker 1: you're year in, year two in the system, he said,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of situations to where you can allow
Speaker 1: that quarterback to change plays or get into better formations
Speaker 1: to be to have that flexibility to put you in
Speaker 1: the best position that you possibly can be in. And
Speaker 1: people are trying to think of something that could be
Speaker 1: maybe draw parallel to think of Peyton Manning Okay and
Speaker 1: what he was able to do at the line of scrimmage. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be maybe to that extent,
Speaker 1: because Peyton had been around for a long time there
Speaker 1: at the end where we would watch him do whatever
Speaker 1: he wanted to do. But things like that where Trevor
Speaker 1: can have the ability to change plays and then also
Speaker 1: maybe adjust routes on the fly, which last year you
Speaker 1: had no ability to do very little. I think towards
Speaker 1: the end of the season you might have seen a
Speaker 1: little more of that. He grew into it as the
Speaker 1: season went along, and the receiving corps has a lot
Speaker 1: to do with that too. Do they have above the
Speaker 1: shoulders ability to be able to flip routes without moving
Speaker 1: and know everything in the offense. And that was a
Speaker 1: big key to the success, certainly in December. And I
Speaker 1: also think that a lot of times it's not a
Speaker 1: matter of Trevor having the language to be able to
Speaker 1: change a place. Sometimes things are changed with just a
Speaker 1: little wink in a nod, you know, a little bit
Speaker 1: of body language. And so there's also familiarity with the
Speaker 1: players amongst themselves, on top of the familiarity with the
Speaker 1: system that will allow them to take this offense to
Speaker 1: another level. And I really believe that this offense can
Speaker 1: go to another level for a lot of reasons. Number one,
Speaker 1: it's here, two of the system, and then also the
Speaker 1: quality of the players. I think they're taking a huge
Speaker 1: step up. They've added some pieces to this offense that's
Speaker 1: going to provide not only front line help, but then
Speaker 1: also the depth that is necessary to be able to
Speaker 1: maintain a certain level of performance throughout a season. The
Speaker 1: rookie class so far looks good and the limited opportunity
Speaker 1: that we've been able to see them and the veterans
Speaker 1: like you talked about the impact that Calvin Ridley has
Speaker 1: had almost felt immediately. I mean that's real. I mean
Speaker 1: that's something that you can feel, and it's exciting to
Speaker 1: have components that may be able to step in and
Speaker 1: contribute right away. And a lot of it too, Lugs
Speaker 1: is that. I mean, some of these guys obviously have
Speaker 1: been in the weight room in the off season well.
Speaker 1: And the guy that really stood out to me from
Speaker 1: that aspect was Trevor himself, and I talked with him
Speaker 1: yesterday after practice, the first practice, and I said, man,
Speaker 1: I said, you look bigger and he said that last
Speaker 1: year he finished up the year about two seventeen and
Speaker 1: he's six y six, right, and he's every bit of
Speaker 1: six six, Yes, okay. And I said, well, where are
Speaker 1: you at now? He said, you know, he goes, I'm
Speaker 1: right around two twenty five. And that's you know, that's great.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, for a quarterback, and you want
Speaker 1: to be able to have your quarterbacks to be able
Speaker 1: to withstand a full season. Maybe a little I'm not
Speaker 1: saying an extra bulk, but a little extra cushion, a
Speaker 1: little bit of extra oomph for them to be able
Speaker 1: to have the durability to go through a season. And JP,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you have the opportunity. Did you
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to watch that quarterback series on Netflix?
Speaker 2: I have not seen it yet.
Speaker 1: I highly recommend it to anybody who was a fan
Speaker 1: of football. And Peyton Manning was the executive producer and
Speaker 1: they followed three quarterbacks through the season and last year
Speaker 1: they followed Marcus Mariota Atlanta Falcons, Kurt Patrick Mahomes of
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Sheep Chiefs, and then Kurt from the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings, Oh Cousins, Kirk Cousins. They followed those three
Speaker 1: guys through the season and really kind of showed what
Speaker 1: they go through on a day to day basis and
Speaker 1: a little glimpse into the life of what it's like
Speaker 1: to play quarterback from personal standpoint, but then also a
Speaker 1: professional standpoint. Man, this is must see TV to me,
Speaker 1: just because I've always said this that the quarterback position
Speaker 1: is the hardest position to play in all of sports,
Speaker 1: and so when you get one, it makes you so
Speaker 1: grateful and appreciative of having a franchise quarterback, and that's
Speaker 1: what Trevor is and I can't wait for a year two.
Speaker 1: But again, recommend that series. So are you're trying to
Speaker 1: talk him into doing the show or something?
Speaker 2: Is that no? No, no, no, Look, I thought.
Speaker 1: That was part of your conversation trev Hey, I don't
Speaker 1: talk Marissa into it.
Speaker 2: That'd be great and be part of it. I think
Speaker 2: it would be awesome.
Speaker 1: I mean, and then obviously a lot of Jaguar fans
Speaker 1: would love to be able to take a glimpse into
Speaker 1: the life of a Trevor Lawrence and what it's like
Speaker 1: to play quarterback. For the Jacksonville Jaguars. I don't I
Speaker 1: haven't heard any reports on who the topics would be
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, and maybe they're going to keep
Speaker 1: that quiet, but it would be exciting to watch it again.
Speaker 2: I can tell you that I was. I thoroughly enjoyed.
Speaker 2: You know, I was never a.
Speaker 1: Big fan of Kirk Cousins until I watched the series,
Speaker 1: and then I gained an appreciation for him as a player,
Speaker 1: and because he was always he's always been kind of
Speaker 1: one of those middle of the road quarterbacks that kind
Speaker 1: of gives you teases and glimpses of of he could
Speaker 1: maybe take you a little bit farther. And I always
Speaker 1: kind of slided him a little bit because he wasn't
Speaker 1: able to take his football team to that next level yet.
Speaker 1: But I definitely gained a higher level of appreciation for
Speaker 1: him after watching that. Jacks fans want customized Jaguars furniture

Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour on Tenson XL, Jaguars dot com, Jaguars
Speaker 1: social media, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Let's touch on some
Speaker 1: of the weapons around said quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Of course,
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram signed his deal, tight end our Christian kirksa
Speaker 1: Jones are back in the fold and looking strong so far.
Speaker 1: And we've mentioned it already. Calvin Ridley should off in
Speaker 1: the first practice Wednesday. That stop startability. His just pure speed,
Speaker 1: the hands, the catch radius, everything you wanted. I think
Speaker 1: you got to start with one thing with him, work
Speaker 1: ethic because when you watch him work, Jap he reminds
Speaker 1: me very much of Zay Jones and Christian kirk And
Speaker 1: here's a guy that's gonna fit right in because he
Speaker 1: has that same desire for greatness and he puts in
Speaker 1: the time and the hard work.
Speaker 2: And that's important.
Speaker 1: Because you know, when you have a new guy and
Speaker 1: you add this guy to your culture, you want to
Speaker 1: make sure that he's gonna fit, you know, and he's
Speaker 1: not gonna be this you know, Prima Donna or Diva
Speaker 1: Diva wide receiver and that's not what he is now.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been impressive in the short amount of
Speaker 1: time that we've had a look in OTA's and then
Speaker 1: also this started training camp, he's been impressive and that's
Speaker 1: what I was really looking to see and I've been
Speaker 1: thoroughly impressed. Trevor Lawrence after practice Wednesday at one on
Speaker 1: what numbers zero has to offer.
Speaker 2: Well, he runs.
Speaker 4: There's not many guys like that, especially in and out
Speaker 4: of his breaks, and you know, he's just really crafty,
Speaker 4: obviously great ball skills and then just you haven't even
Speaker 4: seen it yet because we're not in pads and we're
Speaker 4: not full contact, but I think after the catch he's
Speaker 4: really really good too. So and you know, in spring
Speaker 4: we were still kind of working them in so we
Speaker 4: didn't get you know, a ton of reps. So now
Speaker 4: that we're camp, we're full go. I'm excited just to
Speaker 4: continue to build on that. He's going to fit in
Speaker 4: really well with that group, you know, with Zay and
Speaker 4: Ag and Christian and Evan and all the other receivers.
Speaker 2: He's gonna fit in great well.
Speaker 1: I think he spoke with some of the media after
Speaker 1: practice today, so you'll see some quotes coming out from
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley. But obviously we know his track records so
Speaker 1: far in the NFL just a few years in, played
Speaker 1: five games two years ago, missed all of last season.
Speaker 1: So you said it logs the work ethic is there
Speaker 1: to prove to everybody that he's a top level, top
Speaker 1: flight NFL receiver. He showed it with a broken foot
Speaker 1: before already he said he's healthy. Now, he's motivated more
Speaker 1: than ever and all that should combine at least hopefully
Speaker 1: to a big start of the season. Yeah, And talking
Speaker 1: to him yesterday, you know, and you're standing next to him,
Speaker 1: He's not real big, And I think that's the one
Speaker 1: thing that stands out a little bit is that he's
Speaker 1: not real big. And he's a little bit taller than
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, but he doesn't have that bulk that Christian has.
Speaker 1: He's listed at six, yeah, but he looks slighter than that.
Speaker 1: If he's six, then I mean he's he's tough as
Speaker 1: nails to get to that weight.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: The one thing I'm excited about with the addition of
Speaker 1: him to this football team because I mean, first of all,
Speaker 1: his talent has shown through, and look, it's a long
Speaker 1: road and so you still want to see a lot
Speaker 1: more out of him. But what I love about Calvin
Speaker 1: is the work ethic, but also what he's going to
Speaker 1: be able to do to this offense to help others. Okay,
Speaker 1: for example, now that you're going to have Calvin Ridley,
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, Za Jones. That's three incredible weapons. But what
Speaker 1: that's going to do to the dynamic of the offense.
Speaker 1: It's going to allow one thing, which is important. You're
Speaker 1: going to stretch the field and it's going to create
Speaker 1: space for everybody else just because he has vertical speed
Speaker 1: and he has a vertical threat ability. But Christian Kirk
Speaker 1: can now in the most comfortable position where he is
Speaker 1: the most effective at and that's the slot. And that's
Speaker 1: where that's where Christian can make hay and make people pay.
Speaker 1: And so I'm excited about that. And then with Zay
Speaker 1: on the outside, and then you know, let me add
Speaker 1: another name to it, Tim Jones. I think Tim Jones
Speaker 1: is going to be a guy that, you know, look,
Speaker 1: if there's injury at any point of the season with
Speaker 1: some of these guys, I think he's a guy that's
Speaker 1: going to be able to not only give you a
Speaker 1: lot of help on special teams from that wide receiver position,
Speaker 1: but if you have a man down for a week, Okay,
Speaker 1: one guy goes down, which happens, you know he's gonna
Speaker 1: have the ability to step up. And I see an
Speaker 1: increased role for him this year to that capacity. Second
Speaker 1: year player out of Southern Mississippi. His hometown is Biloxi,
Speaker 1: I believe. And he's six one, two hundred pounds. And yeah,
Speaker 1: we've seen him running around with some of those perceived
Speaker 1: first team receivers already, which is a good thing. And
Speaker 1: uh yeah, the special teams obviously will be key because
Speaker 1: there there aren't many spots in the wide receivers a
Speaker 1: room at.
Speaker 2: Least for the five or six.
Speaker 1: Look, yeah, you're you're gonna have an uphill battle to
Speaker 1: gain a roster spot.
Speaker 2: We'll say that.
Speaker 1: Also, the young rookie Parker Washington from Penn State is
Speaker 1: like it looked good so far in camp and he's
Speaker 1: so he's built like a running back, I mean literally
Speaker 1: and his heightweight five ten, two twelve. Okay, that's what
Speaker 1: they have I'm officially listed as. And when he was
Speaker 1: at Penn State, he was kind of one of those
Speaker 1: slot receivers and they threw him the ball a ton
Speaker 1: with a short distance throw and then allowed him to
Speaker 1: do things after the catch and you know, quick screens
Speaker 1: and things of that nature.
Speaker 2: And he's a.
Speaker 1: Guy that I think also is down the road can
Speaker 1: give this football team some productive reps in that slot position.
Speaker 1: But he's not nearly as dynamic as a Christian Kirk.
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk has a very special ability to gain separation
Speaker 1: because of his quickness, the way he comes in and
Speaker 1: out of breaks, and because he's crafty and he has
Speaker 1: as top end speed. So just you know, some things
Speaker 1: there to think about. It's a It's a position that
Speaker 1: if you're a young player, undrafted player, you know, for example,
Speaker 1: you know Dara Jenkins or Oliver Martin, you know a
Speaker 1: couple of players, one from LSU, one from Nebraska. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have a tough way to make in this football team,
Speaker 1: you know, and practice squad. May you be your best bet.
Speaker 1: Jaguars half hours brought to you by the Saint John's
Speaker 1: River Water Management District. Florida's water it's worth saving. And
Speaker 1: when we return cornerbacks and defense Tyson Campbell entering year
Speaker 1: number three, how he can continue to grow as an
Speaker 1: elite cornerback And how do the Jaguars get more pass rush?
Speaker 1: What did they figure out in the off season. That's
Speaker 1: all coming up as Jaguars half Hour Water Management District,
Speaker 1: Florida's water. It's worth saving and welcome back. JP Shadwick,
Speaker 1: Jeff Logman, It's Jaguars Happy Hour on ten toinexlam, Jaguars
Speaker 1: dot Com, Jaguars Social media, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or on
Speaker 1: Twitter as well at JP Shadrick at Logs.
Speaker 2: Five to six.
Speaker 1: Well, Jaguars offense is you know what do they say?
Speaker 1: Offense sells tickets, Defense wins championships. At least they said
Speaker 1: that about thirty years ago. Yeah, that's it's a little
Speaker 1: different now in the modern day NFL. You still need
Speaker 1: defense though, certainly, and the Jaguars defense last year ranked
Speaker 1: around twenty fourth twenty fifth in total yardage in the league,
Speaker 1: but they were tied for seventh and takeaways. They were
Speaker 1: an opportunistic group last year, but they were maybe just
Speaker 1: to tick late overall and.
Speaker 2: Getting to the quarterback.
Speaker 1: So in this offseason logs, we've talked a lot about
Speaker 1: their self scout from last year and what do you
Speaker 1: look at and you know what personnel might you go
Speaker 1: out and get? Well, they didn't really go out and
Speaker 1: get much better in personnel. They drafted some guys that
Speaker 1: they might be able to develop over time, but they've
Speaker 1: spent a lot of draft equity already on defense first
Speaker 1: round picks over the last few years, and they're counting
Speaker 1: on those guys to really step up and take a
Speaker 1: step this year on the defensive side of the ball. Overall,
Speaker 1: where is this defense? What do you think they might
Speaker 1: have found in the self scout that they can adjust
Speaker 1: moving ahead? First of all, go back to last year,
Speaker 1: and I think the saving grace was the takeaways, you know,
Speaker 1: because if all of a sudden you take that out
Speaker 1: of the equation. I think this defense really struggles, I
Speaker 1: mean struggles in a big way. And I think every
Speaker 1: team at the conclusion of a season does a real
Speaker 1: strong self analysis. And I wasn't a part of that
Speaker 1: self analysis, but I think one of the things that
Speaker 1: I felt was that they weren't allowing the guys up
Speaker 1: front to be in the best position to rush the passer,
Speaker 1: to impact the game and get off the field. And
Speaker 1: you know, you go to Mike Caldwell's opening press conference.
Speaker 1: He talked a lot about getting the players in the
Speaker 1: position to do what do things that they do best,
Speaker 1: talking about his off season program conference exactly, yes, exactly,
Speaker 1: and he's I think he speaks officially Tomorrow's exactly, so
Speaker 1: what he means by that I think, if I'm trying
Speaker 1: to interpret it, is that we need to put our
Speaker 1: players in the best position possible. Last year was a
Speaker 1: little bit of a feeling out process. I mean, when
Speaker 1: you have a first time staff, first time coordinator, first
Speaker 1: time exposure being around all these players, there's so much
Speaker 1: to learn. You're trying to learn to be a defensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: The players are trying to learn a scheme, the coaches
Speaker 1: are trying to learn what the players do best, and
Speaker 1: they're trying to put them in the best position possible.
Speaker 1: And so I thought last year was a little bit
Speaker 1: of a learning curve, and I think this year, I
Speaker 1: think you'll see much more strides being made on the
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball because now you have some
Speaker 1: familiarity across the board, and last year they were trying
Speaker 1: to play I'd have been a man.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 1: The reality is is that they really don't have the
Speaker 1: personnel to play a lot of man or they didn't
Speaker 1: last year, and I think this year will be a
Speaker 1: little bit of a question mark of whether they can
Speaker 1: do that again. I think they're gonna have to be
Speaker 1: a little bit more like they were at the end
Speaker 1: of the year. They're gonna have to play a little
Speaker 1: bit more zone, and I think they need to allow
Speaker 1: some of these guys that rush the passer to put
Speaker 1: their hand in the ground and go rush the passer.
Speaker 2: For example.
Speaker 1: Well, last year it felt like that they were have
Speaker 1: that guys in two point stances. Okay, Josh Allen, Trayvon Walker.
Speaker 1: A lot of times we're rushing the passer on second,
Speaker 1: long and third down and they're up in a two
Speaker 1: point stance like a stand up linebacker. Well, look the time,
Speaker 1: you're not trying to fool anybody when they're in second
Speaker 1: long and third and long. Give the player the best
Speaker 1: tool in his toolkit to be able to affect the quarterback.
Speaker 1: The best, most aggressive pass rush is one in which
Speaker 1: a player can have his hand on the ground. Otherwise
Speaker 1: Olympic athletes would be going from a two point stance
Speaker 1: in sprint, right, So sure, so let the player have
Speaker 1: his hand down three point stants and go after the passer.
Speaker 1: And I think that you'll see more of that this year.
Speaker 1: And that's a great question for Doug Peterson. You know,
Speaker 1: we'll ask him when we get the Doug Peterson Show.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, but I think.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a tremendous amount of improvement there, and
Speaker 1: then that will help the pass rush because that's important obviously.
Speaker 1: I think you've got a lot of question marks in
Speaker 1: the back end, at the corner position, not cross I
Speaker 1: think the safety position is very strong. But you've got
Speaker 1: to have these guys up front really being a you know,
Speaker 1: I remember Lawrence Taylor the famous quote on NFL films,
Speaker 1: you got to go after him like a bunch of
Speaker 1: crazed dogs. Okay, well that's your front guy's got to
Speaker 1: go after him like a bunch of crazed dogs. And
Speaker 1: they got to have the quarterback's feet moving and got
Speaker 1: to have those feet nervous. And so Josh Allen needs
Speaker 1: to get back to being what he can be. Last
Speaker 1: year a little banged up, I think he's he's gonna
Speaker 1: be primed for a big year in a contract year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot on the line for him if he
Speaker 1: can do what he did in the last five weeks
Speaker 1: of the regular season stretched that out. I mean, he
Speaker 1: was fantastic down the stretch, got home for sacks, quarterback hits.
Speaker 1: How about the Buffalo game, Yes, I mean wow, I
Speaker 1: mean what a game that Josh had against Buffalo. And
Speaker 1: but so he had games like that that you were
Speaker 1: just like wow, and then he had games where like
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks you're like, did he get in
Speaker 1: the statu chart?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: So, I mean, and I think that consistency there with Josh. Also,
Speaker 1: health will I think be a factor in that he
Speaker 1: got a little banged up last year. Trayvon Walker needs
Speaker 1: to be able to take a big step forward. You
Speaker 1: need to have either a Kay Levon, Chase On or
Speaker 1: you know, you've got a couple young players on the outside.
Speaker 1: You see her Abdullah, who was their fifth round draft pick,
Speaker 1: is a guy. I think he's gonna have some opportunities.
Speaker 1: You know, you've got to be able to affect the passer,
Speaker 1: and these guys up front need to take Here's another guy,
Speaker 1: Roy Robertson Harris, Yeah, he just signed another deal, So
Speaker 1: you sign a deal. Okay, Now you got to produce.
Speaker 1: And Roy early in the season last year.
Speaker 2: Was really good.
Speaker 1: I mean, started out like Gangbusters and then looked like
Speaker 1: he got dinged a little bit, and then he kind
Speaker 1: of fell off for a little while, and then he
Speaker 1: had other games when later in the season he came
Speaker 1: back and he was just dominant you know, you need
Speaker 1: to have Roy kind of back and healthy and playing dominant.
Speaker 1: Dubbed Devon Hamilton, who's a little been a little bit
Speaker 1: on the sideline okay to start camp. Got an extension
Speaker 1: in the off season as well, and he's a very
Speaker 1: good productive player. That was their best interior, big I
Speaker 1: pass rusher last year and I think he probably is
Speaker 1: going to earn some more reps for this year. Those
Speaker 1: guys all have to take steps forward. You know, there
Speaker 1: was no big marquee free agent signing on the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball, and then in the draft, you know,
Speaker 1: you went offense, offense, offense the first three picks, and
Speaker 1: then you got the defense, you know, finally in the
Speaker 1: fourth round. So I mean, now you've got to have
Speaker 1: those guys that have been drafted high in previous years
Speaker 1: start to produce. Devin Lloyd other guy, I mean, he's
Speaker 1: got to be able to help the pass rush too.
Speaker 1: You know, he did that at you Tulsome stand up
Speaker 1: as a blitzer, and I think you're gonna see him
Speaker 1: do a little bit more of that. By the way,
Speaker 1: Roy Robertson Harris three year extension twenty one point six
Speaker 1: million dollars reportedly in that extension. He's worth every penny
Speaker 1: of that, especially down the stretch. He was fantastic. It's
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy our ten ten xl AM Jaguars dot Com,
Speaker 1: Jaguars Social Media, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Glad you're with us.
Speaker 1: PRI Productions, the official event production company of the Jags,
Speaker 1: has everything you need to bring your next idea to life.
Speaker 1: Visit PRI Productions dot com. Well pass rush helps out
Speaker 1: the secondary. Two logs and we touched a little bit
Speaker 1: on the secondary. But Tyson Campbell's coming into year three
Speaker 1: and you said just a moment ago, you know, not
Speaker 1: especially the best overall man coverage group. They really succeeded
Speaker 1: more out of the zone. Let's touch on Campbell especially
Speaker 1: year three for him, had what three picks. Last year
Speaker 1: was around the football a bit. I think he's improved
Speaker 1: over time in seeing the ball in the air. That
Speaker 1: was obviously an issue early in his career. His first year,
Speaker 1: you know, he would look back, lose the ball, lose
Speaker 1: the man, and then the guys would score on big play. Yep,
Speaker 1: big play would happen. That's toned down a little bit.
Speaker 1: I think that's been an improvement he's made. What else
Speaker 1: have you seen better from Tyson Campbell. I know it's
Speaker 1: early in camp, two days in for him. Kind of
Speaker 1: tough to see that some of those guys. But Campbell's
Speaker 1: the guy. He's i think the number one corner on
Speaker 1: this team.
Speaker 2: Oh by far.
Speaker 1: And he's I think a young still a sending player
Speaker 1: that's going to continue to get better. He's got great length,
Speaker 1: he's got good ball skills, he's making strides and that
Speaker 1: department JP that you brought up, you know, you flashback
Speaker 1: to the game in Washington last year and he allows
Speaker 1: a big play because he kind of loses track of
Speaker 1: a guy and that's something he's gotten better at. But
Speaker 1: he I think is at his best when he's got
Speaker 1: his face facing back towards the quarterback and he's got
Speaker 1: such tremendous length. He's very very aggressive tackler, which is
Speaker 1: kind of rare from the corner position and aggressive and.
Speaker 2: Good and one thing to be aggressive, it's you know,
Speaker 2: so I like him.
Speaker 1: I think he's a real I mean, he's a true
Speaker 1: number one corner and uh. And then on the opposite side,
Speaker 1: Darius Williams made some strides last year when you early
Speaker 1: in the year he was in in the slot, and
Speaker 1: then he was moved to the outside. He got a
Speaker 1: little better on the outside. He still needs to improve
Speaker 1: some of his tackling to to get that up to
Speaker 1: a at a better level.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: But the big question mark is it, you know, JP,
Speaker 1: you know, you and I both know that this is
Speaker 1: a passing league, okay, And no longer is the game
Speaker 1: played with two corners. You need to have three and
Speaker 1: four corners. So who's up next? And that's a big
Speaker 1: question mark. Darius Williams was on the other side last year.
Speaker 1: Obviously a veteran guy has been around for thirty one
Speaker 1: years old now I suppose it has been in the
Speaker 1: league as long as his age indicates. He had a
Speaker 1: longer col his career than others. And then Trey Herndon
Speaker 1: would be probably the Nicols slot guy right now. Right well,
Speaker 1: and maybe you know Chris Claybrooks, you know, is a
Speaker 1: guy that also is kind of in that equation. You know,
Speaker 1: he's got some off the field issues that you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how that's going to be addressed at
Speaker 1: some point by the league or the team or league.
Speaker 1: The legalities of it, I'm not sure they're but they
Speaker 1: signed Savanne Campbell, a fifth year veteran in the league.
Speaker 1: He's been around for a while, young Canadian, Canadian guy.
Speaker 1: And look, this is a position that has been addressed,
Speaker 1: not necessarily with the high draft equity, but it's been
Speaker 1: addressed in numbers.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: You look at last year and you had monterk Brown
Speaker 1: and Gregory Junior who were late draft picks, and then
Speaker 1: you turn around this year and you've got Eric Hollett
Speaker 1: in the sixth round out of Pittsburgh and Christian Brown's
Speaker 1: will the sixth round out of Rutgurse. I mean, Trent
Speaker 1: Balkey has definitely got a pattern here and that he
Speaker 1: knows that he needs to address the position, and so
Speaker 1: he six round. I mean, the percentage of hitting in
Speaker 1: the sixth round is obviously just significantly less than it
Speaker 1: is in round two and three and four, you know,
Speaker 1: but you got to keep trying to get guys at
Speaker 1: that position, you know, and hopefully one of these guys develops,
Speaker 1: you know, or one of the rookies, undrafted guys, whether
Speaker 1: it be you know, Caleb Hayes or you know, you
Speaker 1: know whoever. You know, but you're addressing it right now
Speaker 1: with numbers. But I think it's a position that you
Speaker 1: want to see a big time improvement. The reality is, though,
Speaker 1: is that, look, you can address every position in one
Speaker 1: off season. You know there are years that you know.
Speaker 1: The reality is, you know, okay, next year might be
Speaker 1: the year of the day drafted corner higher in the
Speaker 1: in the draft. Let's put a band aid on it
Speaker 1: for this year and then fix it, you know when
Speaker 1: we can't well, And look, this team is not gonna
Speaker 1: just finish camp up and go to fifty three with
Speaker 1: what they've got on this current roster of ninety. You're
Speaker 1: going to be evaluating what every team in the league does,
Speaker 1: who may become available. And that's a premium position. It's
Speaker 1: hard to get a top notch guy, but it's you know,
Speaker 1: there's a possibility that you can get capable people there
Speaker 1: and could you go a veteran rock, could you maybe
Speaker 1: work a trade for somebody at that position? Everything I
Speaker 1: think is on the table for that position. But you
Speaker 1: know the most important thing is is trying to have
Speaker 1: somebody develop and step up at that position from within.
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hours brought to you by the Saint John's
Speaker 1: River Water Management District, Florida's water It's worth saving and
Speaker 1: when we return left tackle Cam Robinson is practicing, but
Speaker 1: what's the plan as we move toward his four game suspension.
Speaker 2: This is Jaguars Happy Hour.
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hours brought to you by the same John's
Speaker 1: River Water Management District, Florida's water. It's worth saving, JP Shadwick,
Speaker 1: Jeff Logoman. We are on Tintin xl AM ninety two
Speaker 1: point five FM, as well Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars Social Media, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube,
Speaker 1: and if you're watching us there, you're you're getting a
Speaker 1: live look inside the Miller Electric Center in the Hyundai studios.
Speaker 2: Not a big look.
Speaker 1: We're in high definition, which I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: a good thing or not. That was the worst Vinson
Speaker 1: ever for a guy like me. Yeah, totally agree. I'm
Speaker 1: in the same category JBA face for radio. That's right,
Speaker 1: That's what it is though. But it's awesome. You know,
Speaker 1: we've got this new studio. There's gonna be another studio
Speaker 1: coming online very soon. Everybody's working behind the scenes to
Speaker 1: make that thing really sing. So we have a lot
Speaker 1: of new different looks on television and radio shows. Well
Speaker 1: sounds on radio shows, but looks on television and digital shows.
Speaker 2: You know, and also just a huge.
Speaker 1: Shout out to the guy that all worked in some
Speaker 1: capacity here at the Miller Electric Center, because I mean
Speaker 1: the number of people is vast. And also there's a
Speaker 1: ton of guys that have been working from the Jaguars
Speaker 1: organization that have been working on this project in a
Speaker 1: tireless fashion, you know, Hamza and Jeff, I mean, all
Speaker 1: those guys, and then everybody from every department was working
Speaker 1: late hours to make sure that everything was just right
Speaker 1: in their departments, you know, department leaders, et cetera. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's you know, and it's an ongoing process. I mean
Speaker 1: over yet it's not over. There's still some kinks and
Speaker 1: some things that they're working out. But uh wow, what
Speaker 1: a facility. And I mean it's it's truly amazing. You know,
Speaker 1: all those years of us going to other places to
Speaker 1: watch the Jaguars practice, the Patriots, the Vikings, the Atlanta Falcons,
Speaker 1: and then when you're looking at all of their facilities, well,
Speaker 1: here we are, and we're looking at one of the
Speaker 1: very best in the national footage right here in Jacksonville.
Speaker 2: Pretty awesome. Man.
Speaker 1: Guys like in the IT department, Chris y Eider, who's
Speaker 1: been pulling his hair out for all the football stuff
Speaker 1: to get done, and then Jason Dean doing a lot
Speaker 1: of our stuff on the media side, and you're watching
Speaker 1: some of it if you're watching on Jaguars dot Com
Speaker 1: right now, some of the footage inside from the tour
Speaker 1: the other week. And yes, it's ongoing and it's I'm
Speaker 1: sure they're worn out, but they've done some great work
Speaker 1: and still some great work to come. I've seen every
Speaker 1: component of this building and it's breathtaking. I think one
Speaker 1: of the coolest aspects of this building is that on
Speaker 1: the lower level that's all basically player function, So the
Speaker 1: from the cafeteria to the locker room, to the meeting
Speaker 1: rooms to the training room that it's all ground floor
Speaker 1: and the meeting rooms literally every position group has a
Speaker 1: door that steps out onto the grass, so teams can
Speaker 1: have meeting positional meetings and then they go right out
Speaker 1: the door right to practice. And then off to the
Speaker 1: one side the indoor facility and weight room that are
Speaker 1: connected just incredible, and the weight room has us like
Speaker 1: a second floor balcony that has cardio equipment for the players,
Speaker 1: and it's just it's cool because you know the players
Speaker 1: can go from locker room, training room, weight room out
Speaker 1: to the grass and the indoor facility.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's it's all right there.
Speaker 1: And the coaches are on the second level up out
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah there.
Speaker 1: You know a lot of the coaches are overlooking the field,
Speaker 1: and then some others are on the interior part of it.
Speaker 1: There's coaches meeting rooms on the on the second floor.
Speaker 1: It's pretty spectacular. And then that's on one side of
Speaker 1: the building. This side of the building that we're on
Speaker 1: is the dining area and the media and all everything
Speaker 1: that happens up here is on the side closest to
Speaker 1: the stadium. The number one difference between the new facility here,
Speaker 1: the Miller Electric Center and then the old part of
Speaker 1: the area where the Jaguars at in the stadium is
Speaker 1: that there's now daylight. Oh yeah, the big windows. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's daylight and uh and there's no shortage of it,
Speaker 1: and it's it's a beautiful thing to see compared to
Speaker 1: the old stadium, which you kind of went into this
Speaker 1: you know, dungeon, batcave, whatever you want to call it,
Speaker 1: and you.
Speaker 2: Didn't see light.
Speaker 1: I mean, the vitamin D deficiency amongst Jaguar staff over
Speaker 1: the last X number of years has been been great.
Speaker 1: You're watching a time lapse video of the construction on
Speaker 1: jaguars dot com, starting from when they broke ground all
Speaker 1: the way to when they opened the thing just the
Speaker 1: other day. And it's pretty spectacular to see. And yes,
Speaker 1: as you said, loges a lot of hard work going
Speaker 1: into it even to this moment. And the area in
Speaker 1: which the fans have been enjoying practice in the stands,
Speaker 1: They've got bleachers that have shades starting completely almost the
Speaker 1: entire bleachers, starting right about the time that practice starts
Speaker 1: in the shade continues throughout the afternoon, and then the
Speaker 1: seats are really nice and and it's elevated, obviously in
Speaker 1: a grand stand type fashion. And then you have these
Speaker 1: fans and I think I know the name of them?
Speaker 2: What are they?
Speaker 1: I can't say on the radio. Why it's a big
Speaker 1: rear end fan. Well they can say it. They're promoting them,
Speaker 1: are they? Yeah, I'm sure they are. They would how
Speaker 1: would you sell them if your perfect? I mean, that's
Speaker 1: like the real name of them. I mean, they're huge
Speaker 1: and these things, I mean are moving some serious air
Speaker 1: over the tops of the fans or the heads of
Speaker 1: the fans and so really cool and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: if I'm a fan being able to come out, I mean,
Speaker 1: there's no problem. You're going to enjoy the whole the
Speaker 1: whole process, all right, we promised Cam Robinson and Cam
Speaker 1: Robinson I also spoke with some of the media folks today.
Speaker 1: You'll see some quotes from him coming out, if not
Speaker 1: already on social media, but in some articles tonight or
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning. Well, he is practicing. He has suspended four
Speaker 1: games at the start of the regular season. He told
Speaker 1: the media today that it was January when he had
Speaker 1: not started his recovery yet when he took something that
Speaker 1: he didn't realize, and hey, he took full responsibility for
Speaker 1: it and has to be better at knowing what's going
Speaker 1: in his body. He took the whole thing today. That's
Speaker 1: the first time he's spoken, at least publicly. I think
Speaker 1: he put out a statement or something when the suspension
Speaker 1: came out, but this is the first time actually on
Speaker 1: the record in front of others talking about it. But
Speaker 1: he's out there, he's working, So he's not going to
Speaker 1: be out there and work in the first month of
Speaker 1: the season.
Speaker 2: Though. Plan B is how many games? Is it four?
Speaker 2: It's four games? Four games.
Speaker 1: And look, some people may end up come out taking this,
Speaker 1: maybe in the wrong way, but if they do.
Speaker 2: I don't care.
Speaker 1: You know, the players are willing to always push the
Speaker 1: boundaries of high performance. Okay, I was no different. I mean,
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that you're trying to make
Speaker 1: your body the best that it can be. You want
Speaker 1: your body to recover in the best thing that it
Speaker 1: possibly can. You're always looking for an edge. You're not
Speaker 1: looking for an illegal edge, but you're looking for an edge.
Speaker 1: And sometimes players can make a mistake by taking something
Speaker 1: that they feel is gonna give him an edge, and
Speaker 1: then after the fact they realized that it was something
Speaker 1: that wasn't allowable. Okay, that happens. That happens, but that's
Speaker 1: what happens in the pursuit of greatness and making your
Speaker 1: body as good as it possibly can. Cam Robinson is
Speaker 1: as good of a person as you'll ever find, Okay,
Speaker 1: And these things can happen, and Cam Robinson is gonna
Speaker 1: end up being a better person for going through this,
Speaker 1: and he's gonna learn his lesson and he's gonna be fine.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The Jaguars, I think are in a great position to
Speaker 1: be able to handle this situation with Cam Robinson because
Speaker 1: you have a first round draft pick tackle. You also
Speaker 1: have the development of Walker Little last year that happened
Speaker 1: in every game he got better. I mean there was
Speaker 1: no concern last year going to Kansas City with Walker
Speaker 1: Little is your left tackle?
Speaker 2: None? Okay?
Speaker 1: And then now you've added Josh Wells to the mix
Speaker 1: as well, who was a proven veteran. He's obviously started
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, was in Tampa for many years, got some
Speaker 1: starts under his belt. He's bigger than ever, He's got experience.
Speaker 1: How many teams in the National Football League would be
Speaker 1: as comfortable as the Jaguars by losing a starting left
Speaker 1: tackle for the first four games of the season.
Speaker 2: I mean there aren't any. I mean there's very few.
Speaker 1: There are very few that are comfortable starting to tackle.
Speaker 2: If any.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's I mean Coy's creditor, Trent Balky
Speaker 1: and his staff for you know, getting the quality of
Speaker 1: players at that position, because that's a premium position. Walker Little,
Speaker 1: I think, is going to handle it just fine. I
Speaker 1: know that Doug Peterson talked about handling that process. Knowing
Speaker 1: that Cam Robinson is not going to be available for
Speaker 1: the first four games, and how that will work. They've
Speaker 1: both got to get work in and training camp, but
Speaker 1: at some point you got to know who's out there
Speaker 1: week one, which is gonna be Walker Little and uh
Speaker 1: you know, so uh it's good to watch him work.
Speaker 1: And you know, the one thing that I've kind of
Speaker 1: noticed in the first couple practices because we're only two in,
Speaker 1: is that Cam Robinson has really taken Anton Harrison kind
Speaker 1: of under his wing and is helping him. You can
Speaker 1: see that there's a lot of conversation between those two
Speaker 1: and that's what you want to see. I mean, you always,
Speaker 1: you always want to have great coaching. The Jaguars have
Speaker 1: one of the best offensive line coaches in football and
Speaker 1: Phil Rauscher, but you also you like to have that
Speaker 1: veteran mentorship, just much like Kalais Campbell and Josh Allen
Speaker 1: a few years ago, and we watched that and we're like, man,
Speaker 1: that's a thing of beauty you're seeing. I'm seeing that
Speaker 1: now with Cam Robinson and Anton Harrison, and it's and
Speaker 1: it's good to watch because you can always, you know,
Speaker 1: listen to a coach and get better. But then also
Speaker 1: some peer information of players that have been involved in
Speaker 1: the game. Cam Robinson, what is this year seven for him?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I believe you know so.
Speaker 1: I mean he's a guy that's got experience that he
Speaker 1: can share those experiences with the young player that's gonna
Speaker 1: be expected to contribute right away and be the starting
Speaker 1: right tackle and then down a road, who knows. If
Speaker 1: you're looking for the MVP of the truck game, then
Speaker 1: look no further than Ford F one point fifty. Loaded
Speaker 1: with impressive capability and designed to dominate.
Speaker 2: Work, play and everything in between. This truck makes tough
Speaker 2: look easy.
Speaker 1: Your local FOURD dealer, proud partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 1: We're on Tintin XL ninety two point five FM, Jaguars
Speaker 1: dot Com, Jaguars Social Media. It's Jaguars halfy Hour, brought
Speaker 1: to you by the Saint John's River Water Management District,
Speaker 1: Florida's Water. It's worth saving, the injury report and much
Speaker 1: more after this, it's Jaguars Happy Hour. Jaguars halfy Hour
Speaker 1: is brought to you by the Saint John's River Water
Speaker 1: Management District, Florida's Water. It's worth saving. JP Shadrick, Jeff
Speaker 1: Logman on Tintin XL ninety two point five FN, our
Speaker 1: first show of the twenty twenty three season officially today,
Speaker 1: and hopefully it's a season of great moments like last
Speaker 1: year and even greater. I was gonna say, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be hard to top some of the moments from last season,
Speaker 1: but the achievements could be better.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the whole goal.
Speaker 1: You're chasing one prize. Thirty two teams are all chasing
Speaker 1: one prize, and everybody's starting at the same level kind of,
Speaker 1: I mean not really at all zero and zero. They're
Speaker 1: all zero zero, but they're all not starting at the
Speaker 1: same level. That's right, Okay, don't we know we've been
Speaker 1: on the bottom end of that for a long time.
Speaker 1: We had many years where we sat there and you
Speaker 1: think we got a chance, like, well, ain't got a
Speaker 1: quarterback yet, you know, so I don't know if we
Speaker 1: can we can go anywhere yet, you know. But you
Speaker 1: got a quarterback now, and you got an offense that
Speaker 1: I really believe that is just brimming with talent. I
Speaker 1: mean it really is. I mean the offense as a
Speaker 1: whole is bringing with talent. I think the big question
Speaker 1: mark is going to be this defense, how they can
Speaker 1: come along and how much progress can they make? How
Speaker 1: much development will we see with some of the players
Speaker 1: and coaches on that side of the ball. That's the
Speaker 1: big question mark. Well, another thing that helped them last
Speaker 1: year was overall, at least a general health of the
Speaker 1: football team. They were pretty healthy. That leads us into
Speaker 1: the injury presented by Baptist Health and the Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute,
Speaker 1: the official sports medicine provider of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Two
Speaker 1: players officially on the physically unable to perform lists, the
Speaker 1: active pup and the training camp time so you can
Speaker 1: go on and off as whenever you're ready. Ben Bartch,
Speaker 1: who of course was injured last year, is on there
Speaker 1: and off to the side to one. Smoot coming off
Speaker 1: the Achilles injury, just recently signed. He's off to the side.
Speaker 1: Also off to the side but not listed on anything.
Speaker 1: Ventro Miller was off today and Devona Hamilton was doing
Speaker 1: some work it looked like on the side as well.
Speaker 1: Those are early in camp before and the two official
Speaker 1: ones of the pup guys. Yeah and uh and look,
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see Smoot resigned, a guy that I
Speaker 1: like the way he plays the game. He's always full go,
Speaker 1: he's versatile. He can play multiple position, he can play
Speaker 1: outside linebacker, he can have his hand in the ground
Speaker 1: as the defensive end. But he's gonna need some time.
Speaker 1: I mean, achilles injury is a serious injury. We saw
Speaker 1: what happened with James Robinson, right, I mean it took
Speaker 1: him some time to even get close to right. That
Speaker 1: was the training camp?
Speaker 2: What last year? Right? Now? Two years ago? When was
Speaker 2: that last year? Was last year? Oh? My gosh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, time flies, yeah, it does, but same idea, right,
Speaker 1: I mean this was in December. It was Christmas week Thursday,
Speaker 1: real late in the season. I mean, just much like
Speaker 1: Jay rob and Ben Barts had a knee and that
Speaker 1: ended his season last year leaves and that, you know,
Speaker 1: just by the way, led to the great performance last
Speaker 1: year of Tyler Shatley at the left guard position. Who
Speaker 1: is back once again Shatley? But you know, get what,
Speaker 1: will Ben BArch be the starting left guard this year?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's a big question mark. You know,
Speaker 1: will BArch compete with Shatley? How will that go? How
Speaker 1: will that look? When will BArch be available? Nobody really knows.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And it also goes back to the left tackle discussion too,
Speaker 1: right four weeks of Walker little at left tackle, what
Speaker 1: happens when Cam is eligible to come back.
Speaker 2: Could one of them go to left guard? You know?
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you do. You don't really know.
Speaker 1: And this is and the coaches I'm sure have kind
Speaker 1: of a plan in mind based on their evaluation of
Speaker 1: each skill set of the players that they have, and
Speaker 1: that's going to be very important, you know. And I
Speaker 1: think they've got a process and a plan in place,
Speaker 1: and we're not privy to the details of that, and
Speaker 1: those those plans can change at any moment based on
Speaker 1: injury or whatever. So that's something that is going to
Speaker 1: be let's you know, let's keep an eye on it
Speaker 1: and see what happens. But that's that's that's one of
Speaker 1: the big questions, one of the few question marks on
Speaker 1: offense right now. I mean, really, there really are no
Speaker 1: other question marks. I mean, there's you know, there's always
Speaker 1: things that arise. Okay, injuries, concerns, whatever, you know, with
Speaker 1: the suspension of Cam, that's obviously something that we know
Speaker 1: is going to be dealt with. But really, other than
Speaker 1: the left guard spot, which I don't even really call
Speaker 1: that a question because if Barts is not available, you
Speaker 1: pick up where you left off with Shatley left guard.
Speaker 1: You got, guys, But I mean, if you're trying to
Speaker 1: force a question on the offense, is that not the
Speaker 1: only one that? And how they will work the whole
Speaker 1: tackle thing out with the suspension at the first part
Speaker 1: of the season. If those are the only question marks
Speaker 1: you got, you're in a pretty good spot. That might
Speaker 1: be the fewest question marks of I mean, it's definitely
Speaker 1: the fewest questions of an offense in the AFC South.
Speaker 1: It might be it might be one of the fewest
Speaker 1: question marks of an offense of any in the AFC
Speaker 1: as a whole. Chiefs, how many question marks do they have?
Speaker 1: They got two new tackles, Okay, there's a couple. I
Speaker 1: mean there's one right there. And who's gonna play wide receiver?
Speaker 1: They lost their leading receiver in Juju Smith Schuster big yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: lost another one that went to the Jets, I believe. So,
Speaker 1: I mean they have a question mark question marks? All right,
Speaker 1: Bills h question Well, well, no Number one is can
Speaker 1: they run the ball effectively late in the season. The
Speaker 1: question mark with their wide receiver, you know, having left
Speaker 1: camp or supposedly wasn't excused, and you know, is that
Speaker 1: all blown over? Can Josh Allen take the step? Can
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills take the next step? You know, I'm
Speaker 1: not real familiar with their changes of personnel off the
Speaker 1: top of my head, but I mean, if you look
Speaker 1: at some of the great teams in the AFC, the
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals might have the fewest question marks on offense.
Speaker 2: Say them next, Yeah, you know, they.
Speaker 1: They added the tackle Brown from the Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: and now they're going to be moving their Alabama guy
Speaker 1: that was the first round pick a few years ago
Speaker 1: over to right tackle and competing over there. But they
Speaker 1: got their whole kind of group back. I mean, that
Speaker 1: might be the those question marks of any team in
Speaker 1: the AFC on the offensive side of the ball. So
Speaker 1: those are the teams the Jaguars are going to see
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, if you're going to go anywhere in
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I mean, those are the teams that are
Speaker 1: gonna be there. I mean, and those are the teams
Speaker 1: that have the quarterbacks that are considered elite level, you know,
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. And then will the Chargers be able to
Speaker 1: do anything this year.
Speaker 2: That's a big.
Speaker 1: Place in the quarterback so Or extended him. Yeah, which
Speaker 1: gives you a little bit of a glimpse into the
Speaker 1: future of what the Jaguars are going to have to
Speaker 1: be contending with. It's a lot of money, by goodness,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's uh.
Speaker 2: I love.
Speaker 1: They asked Trevor Lawrence the other day the media, did, Hey,
Speaker 1: did you notice the thing? He's like, yeah, I keep
Speaker 1: up with the league. I saw it was going out
Speaker 1: with You're going to see that looks a lot of
Speaker 1: played it down. Lamar Jackson still top of the league
Speaker 1: in per year average. His new contract pays him I
Speaker 1: think like fifty two million a year average, and the
Speaker 1: new deal, uh, I think with the Chargers at the
Speaker 1: quarterback's name again, Herbert Herbert, justin Herbert. I think the
Speaker 1: average now is right around forty three because he had
Speaker 1: two years left on his current deal. So if you
Speaker 1: consider it the two years left that he has on
Speaker 1: his current deal, his average is around forty three. And
Speaker 1: I was I said to this to you today, I said,
Speaker 1: you know, it's not it's not impossible to believe that
Speaker 1: at some point that Trevor Million is a billion dollar quarterback.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you think about if you think about
Speaker 1: fifty million being an average now when he gets his contract,
Speaker 1: and then as it increases through the years, I mean
Speaker 1: you could look at be looking at a contract that's
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty he could end up being worth
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty million to a billion dollars as
Speaker 1: a quarterback. I mean, wow, yeah, But I mean that's reality,
Speaker 1: that's reality. Get him done quick, it's only going to
Speaker 1: go up. Well, just with Justin Herbert, right, you got
Speaker 1: him done before the deal expired. With Lamar Jackson, you
Speaker 1: didn't get it done when before the deal expired. And
Speaker 1: he's but you obviously they saved money in the past
Speaker 1: couple of years because he was paid well below market
Speaker 1: value the last couple of years. Now, I think there
Speaker 1: would be some of the building that would say, all right,
Speaker 1: let's tap the brakes. Can we play the season first
Speaker 1: and then get to that. No, I know, I just
Speaker 1: just thinking out loud here. I mean just look, I
Speaker 1: mean that's the way you build. It is because of
Speaker 1: that guy, and everything you do is because of that guy.
Speaker 2: No doubt, financially, no doubt.
Speaker 1: And look, I'm I'm I'm a big fan of Trevor
Speaker 1: and I'm looking forward to watching him performing. And you know,
Speaker 1: and obviously he's not thinking about that, but he's keeping
Speaker 1: track of the news in the National Football League. Why
Speaker 1: wouldn't you, I mean, if it pops up on your
Speaker 1: phone all the time. You know, there's a couple other
Speaker 1: guys in the league that are gonna be worth watching.
Speaker 1: Here coming up, Nick Bosa, is he not withholding his
Speaker 1: services from the forty nine ers? Chris Jones?
Speaker 2: With that?
Speaker 1: There's another issue that with the Cancer City Chiefs. You know,
Speaker 1: these guys are looking for thirty million a year contracts.
Speaker 1: What do you want to hear from Doug Peterson coming
Speaker 1: up on the first Doug Peterson Show of the year, Well,
Speaker 1: let me just the excitement of starting a camp again,
Speaker 1: the new facility, the excitement with his offense, you know,
Speaker 1: a big question mark with his defense. You know what,
Speaker 1: what does he think about the off season evaluation? Where
Speaker 1: does he see that defense progressing towards? That's all coming
Speaker 1: up in mere moments. The first Doug Peterson Show of
