Podcast 0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:17.680 Welcomeing to JAG xam. 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:20.320 I'm kind Annie Stephens, Brian Sexton, and John Osier are 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:21.000 with me today. 0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:23.360 Is we get ready for okas next week. 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:26.400 Rookie Mini camp is behind us, and we didn't learn 0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:28.080 this whole lot, but it is always nice to have 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:30.520 people back in the building and get ready for things 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:32.560 to get going this season. Our first big thing today 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:34.800 is pro football one oh one, A little bit of 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.879 a teaching thing here today as the rookies came to 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.480 the building for the first time last week and got 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:42.640 to try to figure out exactly how this whole pro 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:43.280 thing goes. 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:47.360 Now they're with an NFL club, you know. Right now 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.240 they're we're just rookies. And so come Monday, when everybody 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:53.080 starts walking in here, you know, and they start seeing 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:55.720 all the guys, you know, it makes an impact on them. 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.480 And you know, there are a lot of these guys, 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:01.480 you know, I see they were they were starters in 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:03.640 college and now they're gonna they're gonna have to take 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.560 backup roles and they're going to compete for for starting 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:10.200 positions or at least compete for that backup spot and 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:11.959 and it and it changes just a little bit for 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:16.560 them So this weekend, though, from the meetings to the 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:18.880 on the field stuff, is really going to prepare them 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.760 for the next you know, five weeks. I guess that 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:23.479 we're here, Brian. 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:25.759 We talked a little bit about this last week. Obviously, 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.120 they played big time football. These are high level players 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.240 in college, but getting to the NFL is a little 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:31.720 bit different. 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:35.880 Yeah, you know, last weekend, Kay, the process took center stage. 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.320 You know, where you meet, where you eat, where you 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.600 walk to get to the locker room, all of that stuff. 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:42.920 This week is they get onto the field, even though 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.920 they're not competing yet, it's about the pros and they're 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.440 going to see big, strong and fast. They're going to 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.800 see a different level of competition because these are grown 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.120 men and they are highly paid and this is about 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.720 their livelihood. So that's an interesting transition year to year 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.280 from the college kids who were celebrated, who were seen 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.400 as the big men on campus, and then they put 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:06.960 their feet here and have to figure it all out. 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:09.440 John, Yeah, I laughed. I saw a story over the 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:15.480 weekend that said some Jaguars rookie was bawling out at 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:20.200 the rookie ging, and I wondered how because there was 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.600 no one on ones and there was no seven on seven, 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.040 so I guess they were balling out running routes. And 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:26.960 I mean, if you have to write the stories, I'm 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.480 not necessarily criticiding the story. But there's a misconception about 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:34.320 what rookie Uni caamp Is Doug said it best. They 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.880 were trying to get the rookies to the point where 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.400 yesterday when the veterans got here and the rookies walked in, 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.799 that the rookies weren't eight steps behind and slowing things down, 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.359 and they wanted to give them a chance to compete. 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:46.639 And that's what last weekend. 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:47.600 Was balling out. 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:48.120 We'll get there. 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:49.640 We'll get there soon, John, I promise. 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.600 Our second big thing this week is here today is 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:53.480 new curriculum. 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:54.840 Because they're back in school, they. 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.160 Got to learn a lot of new things and that 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:57.760 goes for some of the that's as well because of 0:02:58.000 --> 0:02:59.840 a new defensive coordinator and his staff. 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.440 It's a bit of learning curve for the players. 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.120 I mean, it's just a different scheme, right, it's a 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:11.720 different scheme, and and you know you're you're you're switching 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.760 gears a little bit from that that three you know 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.440 three four mode to to kind of four down mode. 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.359 And and even though you spend so much time in 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.200 you know four down defense a lot anyway, and I 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:25.560 think some of the techniques are going to be a 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:31.639 little different. Obviously, there's learning with the verbage and terminology linebacker, 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:35.640 you know, the fits, and just the way what I've 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.040 seen so far, the way the coaches have have have 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.080 coached them, and some of the drill work that they're 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:40.840 doing on the field. 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.120 John, We're making a lot about this scheme being totally 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.280 different than last year. How difficult is this going to 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:48.400 be to pick up for the defense? 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:52.920 Well, I mean it's it's new. Uh, they're pro football players, 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.880 so I anticipate them being able to pick it up. 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:58.640 The dbs. The corners will play more press. Man, it's 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.840 not you've never done that before in their lives. Their 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.080 cornerbacks and they know how to play football. So it's 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:08.080 a transition. I don't think it should be a transition 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.760 that come Week one they have no idea what they're doing, 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:12.240 but they have to work on it all offseason. 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.680 A lot of these guys have played together before and 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.960 that's where the communication comes, right. Guys like Josh Allen 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.000 looking to the back end and looking at a safety 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:21.599 and saying, hey, Cisco, this is. 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:22.240 Where we do this. 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.760 The terminology will come and there are some new faces 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:29.360 out there, Ronald Darby, Eric Armstead, But for the most part, 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.800 these guys are in the locker room and in the 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.480 meeting rooms and on the plane and the bus together 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.520 and they'll figure out how to communicate the new verbage 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.360 because they know how to communicate with one another. 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.719 Our final big thing today is going to be homework complete. 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.440 At the end of last season, GM Trent balk And said, 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.720 you wanted this team to get bigger, faster, and more physical, 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.920 and head coach Doug Peterson addressed some of those new additions, 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.159 both from the draft and also free agency. 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.320 I think number one, we've gotten a bigger right, just 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.480 physically big right, with some of the draft picks and 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.680 undrafted guys and even some of our players coming back, 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:07.120 we've gotten bigger. 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:09.640 I think speed. 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.640 We've got a tick faster. You know, obviously we know 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.360 Brian Speed is a wide receiver, and some of the dbs. Now, 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:17.920 I mean we've gotten faster. 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:21.080 And then when we put. 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:25.080 The pads on in July in August, we'll see where 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:26.680 we are physically. 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.320 We got two out of the three checked off, Brian. 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:32.920 When you look at this is how much of this 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:34.680 is going to be mentality And when they go into 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.760 training camp and kind of getting that now that they 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.000 are bigger, faster, stronger, if you want to put it 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.400 that way, to be more physical and use that as 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:41.800 a pro. 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.240 Well, you know every coach wants to be bigger, faster, 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.560 stronger and more physical every year. But you hit on 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.760 the keyword there, Kai and that's the mentality. And last 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.880 year they just didn't play big in big games. I 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.320 think it's a mindset. I'm not sure whether it's preparation. 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:57.760 I don't know. 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.640 They have to be bigger to play better, But to me, 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.880 I want to see this team convert from the potential 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.480 to the actual, which they didn't do in the biggest 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.880 games last year. And so you say, well, you're bigger 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.000 and you're stronger. With Eric Armstead, well he also brings 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.440 a certain mentality from a championship caliber club. Same thing 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.480 with Ronald Darby out on the edge. I mean he 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.600 played in a Super Bowl. So these are guys that 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.400 bring the mental side of the game into your locker room, 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.320 and you don't quantify that on a chart. You just 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.279 understand it by the way that they prepare and the way. 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:29.599 That they play. 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.520 Yeah, I think Doug's headed best also last week. Look, 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.040 everybody in the NFL is big and strong, and they 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:40.359 play physically. I think more than anything the theme of 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.240 the offseason. Yes, they're a little bigger. I think they 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.040 may be a little faster at wide receiver, but they 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.520 wanted to be more of a team that in the 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.640 last five games of the season when you had to 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.080 have a win, they just figured out a way. And 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:55.840 maybe you couldn't even point to it after the game 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.359 and say why they won, but they could take a 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.040 game by the throat. I think Doug want anything withou 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:06.960 like a team that's raw. You know that that's the 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.560 intangible you want. You know, I'm gonna grab it and 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.840 take over and maybe you roar a little bit around. 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:15.120 Here, Kay, little rar, I'm dressed for it. 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.560 Was just about to say, between your dress, Ki and 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.200 that roar, we are certainly in costume today. 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.600 Let's do it. Stay with us after the break, more roaring, 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:24.280 more roaring. 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:26.680 We're gonna hear from some of the new players here 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:37.520 in Jack Middlle, Move the freight, the fright Magellan Transportation 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.200 voted the coolest office space in Jacksonville. You can apply 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:44.280 online at www dot Magellan Logistics dot com. 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.120 Welcome back to jag Zam this morning. 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.400 As you had Mini camp last week, I know that's 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.280 your favorite activity of the year, you guys, But we 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.360 do a VOKS coming up, which is exciting to get 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.320 everybody back in the building and kind of feels a 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.560 little bit more like football. And then training camp is here, 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.440 which that's a whole other thing. So let's talk a 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.000 little bit about mini camp. We got to see some 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.440 of these rookies for the very first time. Obviously, Brian Thomas, 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.480 the first round pick, was out there running routes, probably 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.840 killing it as they would say, you know, John probably 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:10.600 has some other verbal balling out. 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.000 And Brian Thomas did look I mean, in mini camp, 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.360 you want guys to look the part. Mason Smith looked 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.080 bigger than everybody else and looked more physical than everybody else, 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:27.400 and Brian Thomas looked faster and looked like he was 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.960 touched by God more than anybody else on the field 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.439 in terms of playing that position. Jarvis Lander, who was 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.040 in for a tryout, said he he's got elite talent. 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.920 You can see it. He's quicker, catches, the ball cleaner, 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:40.560 all those things that you want to see a guy 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:44.319 when he's running routes on air. So, Brian, you've heard 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.880 the same analogy I've heard for years. What you don't 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:51.840 want is the GM and scouts walking out going and 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.600 I didn't since you saw any of that. We'll see 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:55.200 more this week. 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.600 When you look at him, there's no chance that you 0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.320 could be anything other than entus. 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.600 Just his length stands out to me. 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:03.800 And and when you see a shot of his legs, 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.760 how long his legs are, and you. 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:08.880 Look the part. 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.360 Now, get in and learn it and be ready to 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.800 go so that you can make a contribution in training. 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:14.760 Camp play the part for sure. 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.440 You mentioned Mason Smith John Uh, he's one of those 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.200 uh that tecond round pick for us that physically is 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.280 one of those players that Trent Palky is very excited 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.520 to get out here. He spoke after practice a little 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.520 bit and about what he's most excited about. 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.120 I always been accustomed to hard work, man, just having 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:34.320 having to see my mother, you know, she's a family 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.199 pediatrician doctor. Seeing her work, you know, early morning is 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.280 long night. Seeing my father work in the field for 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.680 thirty plus years. Man, I'm accustomed to so you know 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.880 I never really shy await the p no matter what 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.360 I ever went through, man. And uh, you know, the 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.600 cream always rides to the cr I mean, the cream 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.120 always rights to the top, man. And you know, i'ma 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.080 just keep my head down and keep working and continue 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:55.520 to progress. 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:56.520 Man. That's all I can think of. 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.640 Hard worker, exactly what you wanna hear, especially going into 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.600 OTA in training camp around the corner. They're banking a 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:06.200 lot on him, kind of rebounding from that injury that 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.679 he suffered when he had an ACL. Terry played last year, 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.920 wasn't quite all the way back, but they're hoping now 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.400 that he's fully recovered, we'll see a different player. 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.319 When you look at him, you see a guy that 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.040 you want on your team. And then when you hear 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.480 him talk about mother being a pediatrician, dad working in 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.000 the oil fields, which we all know is a tough, rough, 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.800 blue collar job, it gives you a lot of background 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.800 information on how the kid was raised, and so it 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:32.520 gives you a lot of opportunity, a lot of hope 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:34.760 that he's going to come in here and apply that 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.400 towards being who he was before the injury in twenty 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:38.880 twenty two. 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:43.360 Yeah, there's been some buzz, Oh why they picked that guy. 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:47.240 He was hurt in college. Look the ACL. It happened 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:52.240 in early twenty twenty two. The common comeback from that 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:56.800 is difficulty coming back. First year, maybe a little slow, 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.040 started to come out of it, and then by year 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.679 the second year after an ACL, anybody will tell you 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.439 a young guy below the age of about twenty five 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.680 or twenty six, there's no reason in the world this 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.280 day and age, they don't return to full potential. He 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.240 was dominant when he was a freshman, and you can 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:18.079 see the size all that stuff. To me, this, you know, 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.800 is it the turning point of the draft? Probably? I 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.160 mean it's probably what the draft. It can turn the 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.320 draft either into great or if he's not good, it's eh. 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:34.280 But all second round picks are short of a crapshoot. 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.199 If you get a guy who you think might be dominant, 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:41.400 there another wrong with a pick on that. 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.560 Front to me, when as well risk it of course, 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.679 and as he's mentioned, obviously a hard worker, and I 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.200 think now he trusts that. I think you mentioned earlier 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:49.880 that kind of that trust factor. You're not sure if 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:51.240 your need's going to give. So now that he has 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.320 that back, hopefully he'll be able to get back to 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.560 his freshman year form. We also heard from his former 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.640 defensive coordinator now linebacker coach here Matt House. He was 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:02.240 at LA of course three picks from LSU coming here, 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.240 but that House actually weighed in a little bit on 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.880 Brian Thomas because going up against him in practice every day, 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:07.760 it was certainly difficult. 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:09.640 Yeah. 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.760 BT's got I mean, really good length, obviously elite speed. 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.920 He's a matchup problem and he can go up and 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.440 get the ball. So you know, in particular last year 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.360 at LSU when we were dB short, he was a tough, 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:24.240 tough matchup. 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:26.840 Johnn I know we haven't seen a ton from Binding 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.920 Thomas yet, but it's exciting to see that kind of 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.079 have that option for Trevor and also a wide receiver 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:33.800 that can maybe grow with Trevor a little bit right, 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.080 Like he's had some veteran presence, but now a younger player, 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.200 this drafted hero'll be here for the next however many 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:39.439 years to grow with him. 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.600 Yeah, he comes into a nice situation. He doesn't have 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:47.080 to be the best receiver immediately. Christian Kirk's perfectly capable 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:48.000 of be in it. He didn't have to be the 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.720 go to guy Evan ingers for the cable doing that, 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.120 so he can immediately give the team a wrinkle and 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:57.120 have time to develop. I've said many times since he 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:02.640 got drafted. There before the drift, there were three elite receivers, 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.920 and out of the rest of them, the analysts thought 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.920 that he had the best chance to eventually develop into one. 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.040 The mean, he's going to be it immediately. He can 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:16.319 give them Brian Deep the threat, jump ball threat while 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:18.320 he's developing into an overall player. 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:18.640 Well. 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.880 I shared this after the draft, But to Cortez Hankton, 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.600 who was an undrafted rookie year back in two thousand 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:27.240 and three, is his position coach and was his position 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.079 coaching offensive coordinated at LSU, told me he's the most 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.800 physically gifted receiver he's ever coached, and he obviously coached 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.640 at Georgia before LSU, so that tells you the caliber 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:37.440 of athletes that he's accustomed to. 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:38.760 Said, he's one of my guys. 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:42.400 Guy will get after it, but physically gifted in a 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.400 way that you just haven't. 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.280 You have difficulty drawing it up. It just shows up like. 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:52.480 That, and again it's routes on air, but he just 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.160 makes everything looks easy. I mean, you have things that 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.920 are hard for other players trying to make the NFL 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:01.760 as without you thinking about it. 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.240 Well, something that Howse said is that it's he's a 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.480 difficult matchup, and we're a matchup league where you're trying 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:07.480 to create this matches. 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:09.680 It's different than in college football. 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.720 So you know they're gonna find that other teams or 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.880 other teams are gonna find that it's tough to have 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.480 a corner who is as big and long as he is, 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:20.360 and if he's as fast and physical as we've heard kai, 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:22.320 it'll be a great pack. 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.120 Excited to see him and Trevor kind of figure it 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.440 out and get going. That'll be definitely fun to see. 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:28.640 And also we should mention in the wide receiver room 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.800 Jarvis Landry and for a tryout. So he was part 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.320 of that rookie mini campu miss last year due to injury, 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:35.280 but he's been around for quite some time, and he 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.200 talked a little bit about what it was important for 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:38.800 him and just coming back to football. 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.600 It was stressful. It was stressful, you know, I learned 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.200 a lot about the man, you know, and getting healthy 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.200 and things like that. Spending more time with family kept 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.200 me ground it. You know, had a good support system. 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.400 But you know, it's always it's always good to be 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:53.080 back out here. 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:55.080 John. 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:56.840 What do we see from from Jews out there? 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.360 Because obviously Jarvis Landry has been around, he's done it 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.040 for a while. He was with injury and to kind 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.240 of come back with that appreciation, but also the skill 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:04.400 set had he has. 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:09.320 You could tell who the veteran was. He was precise 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:14.520 to me, he looked quick, particularly for his age. You know, 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.000 I don't necessarily know that they brought him in thinking 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:22.120 we have to sign him immediately in order to have 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:23.920 him on the team. I think they wanted to give 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:25.840 him the opportunity. They wanted to see what it was 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.200 and then perhaps as time moves on, now you know 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.720 a little bit more about a guy. Doug said beforehand, Look, 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:36.600 it's a tryout and that's what it is. Cold he 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.720 would you feel fine putting Jarvis Lander in an NFL 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.920 game right now and having him get you through a 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:48.040 couple of weeks where somebody else isn't isn't performing for 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.200 you as an available Sure? Is he a frontline starter. 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.240 You know, I'm not sure anybody thinks that right now. 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.720 It's a young man's game, and it's hard for guys 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:57.800 who have been to five Pro Bowls to let go. 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:00.960 And clearly he has decided and he's not ready to 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.160 let this one go, So it made sense for him 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.840 to come. And I would think that at some point 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:07.600 later in the season if they don't like any of 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.560 the five undrafted rookies that they signed, right they stacked 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.080 up on these guys for camp and you have an 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.000 injury like last year with a Jones right where you 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:18.000 were just you were lacking any sort of significant depth 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.560 at that position and it hurt the passing game. Well, 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:22.480 then you've got a guy on speed dial if he's 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.680 not anywhere else that you can go and bring in, 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:29.200 and you have a book on him now. But they 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:29.920 went heavy in. 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:30.440 The pain. 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:33.360 On wide receiver. 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.880 They're going for it, and so those young guys come 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.480 in as developmental guys. And really that's where the roster 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:44.120 spots are. The practice squad spots are in Jacksonville for receivers. 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:48.120 With that room as expensive and as draft capital has 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:48.960 been put into it. 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:52.400 And Jarvis also made the comment he has to figure 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:54.720 out if this is something he wants to do sure 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.200 and completely commit to it. I'm not to say that 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:01.480 privy those conversations, but you know I at this stage 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.840 of careers, that's the verbid you hear is is and 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.320 I say, oh my goodness, I have to go get this. 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:10.199 It's I have to find the right fit. I have 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.239 to decide this is what I wanna do. Uh So 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.359 that's what a tryout you Well. 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:17.360 If you didn't, you probably couldn't next, right, being one 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:20.560 year out, two years out not not not as many 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:21.440 opportunities for those guys. 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:23.600 We've also seen that before though obviously you know veteran 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.160 players coming in around training camp, getting into training camp, 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.240 maybe like this is kind of f going a couple 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:29.960 games in, like figuring out this is kind of the 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.439 end of things. So whether that'll be the situation for him, 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:34.240 or whether things will work out and he'll get picked 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.040 up either here or somewhere else, we'll remains to be seen. 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.600 Stay with us here on Jagsam though.
