WEBVTT - Jags A.M. Podcast Ep. 118 | What We’re Thankful For, Internal Changes & More

0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Jagxam.

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm Ken, Nannie Stevens, Brian Sexton, and John oserre with

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.759
<v Speaker 2>me today. We're gonna have your Thanksgiving pre edition here.

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 2>On Wednesdays, we get ready for the holiday and we

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:27.120
<v Speaker 2>get ready for the dag Wars to take on the

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Texans this weekend. We heard from Doug Peterson yesterday for

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 2>the first time since the bye weekend. We did learn

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:34.919
<v Speaker 2>a couple of things, or at least some new information.

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.559
<v Speaker 2>So big thing number one is internal changes. Doug Peterson

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.240
<v Speaker 2>not overly forthcoming with what those changes are, but he

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:48.559
<v Speaker 2>did say there were changes made. Yeah, we're nothing that

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 2>will share at this time, and I personally thank you

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 2>just to be a little bit more clear on that,

0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:00.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's it's sort of I say that say

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 2>this that the lot.

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 3>Of these are in house, and then these are things

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 3>that we focus on as a staff and as a team,

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 3>and I just don't think they need to be in

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 3>the open right now.

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Brian, we don't know what the exact changes are going

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 2>to be. Maybe we'll figure them out on Sunday when

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 2>we see the team go out there against the Texans,

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 2>but it's a little too late for changes at this point,

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 2>are you just happy they're doing something different.

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm not quite sure what you're asking Kai, am I

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:25.399
<v Speaker 3>supposed to interpret what he?

0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:26.199
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's just.

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 3>So big, Yeah, I mean he leaves it open for

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.400
<v Speaker 3>us to guess, and that's dangerous in and of itself.

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 3>Or we're talking about who's calling the plays, whether they're

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 3>eliminating the rotation on defense that has caused so much angst.

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.760
<v Speaker 3>It probably does make sense for him not to share

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 3>all of it, but a little bit of it would

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.160
<v Speaker 3>make it a little bit easier to describe.

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 4>Have no clue what they are. I neither its John.

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I have my thoughts, but I'm I'm not gonna share

0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 1>them at this time.

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I appreciate you announcing that big thing number two.

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Practice makes perfect Trevor Lawrence. We haven't seen for a

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks. Matt Jones as a starter for the

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.359
<v Speaker 2>last two weeks before the buye. He was at practice

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>on Monday. John, we don't know still at this point.

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 2>I think we'll have maybe a little bit better idea

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the week. But they purposely thegue

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 2>usually with these kinds of things. But it was good

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:19.920
<v Speaker 2>to see Trevor back out there.

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 5>John, Yeah, and I think it's gonna say. I have

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 5>my thoughts on this too.

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure. It feels Brian and Kai like.

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 5>It's going to be a week where we don't find

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.079
<v Speaker 5>out much hard information about Trevor Lawrence and they take

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 5>him into the weekend. I kind of feel like he'll play.

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 5>I guess if he wasn't going to play, I think

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 5>they would probably take the same approach as they did

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 5>in that last game where he didn't play before the

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 5>bye and as kind of Tea leaves, thank goodness we

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 5>have this to discuss, because I'm not sure what else

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 5>we would discuss, But.

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:57.799
<v Speaker 1>That's sort of how it feels.

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 5>I think he'll play, and you know, frankly, Brian, as

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.639
<v Speaker 5>somebody who looks for storylines, let's cross our fingers in

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 5>hope plays yeah, because it'll be interesting and it'll feel real.

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 5>I don't know how it's going to feel if and

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 5>when Trevor Lawrence is done for the season, if that

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 5>even happens.

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 3>So, you know, normally when they play the vague, you know,

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 3>the game with quarterback. I mean, it's obviously to keep

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 3>the other team guessing and make them spend some time

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 3>preparing for Mac Jones or CJ. Bethern. But what would

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:29.920
<v Speaker 3>be a setback for him? I mean, he's not going

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 3>to take a hit on the practice field this week.

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 3>So if he looks good and feels good and where are.

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 4>You on Friday?

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 3>And even then you get the sense douggers are going

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 3>to make any sort of a public proclamation on this thing.

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 3>But he wasn't on the practice field the week of

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 3>the Lions game. I would think that the fact that

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 3>he's out there getting some first team reps, which is

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 3>what we saw when practice was open, would indicate that

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 3>he's going to play.

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Knock the rust off a little bit. Hopefully we see

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Trevor out there on Sunday. Our final big thing today

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>can be Sunday showed out and they're taking on the Texans.

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 2>It's a divisional battle. Texans big lost last week and

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 2>just what we've been able to see, Brian, what would

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 2>a win this week do for this team, especially right now?

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean they're the class of the division. They're

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 3>seven and five. Even though they haven't played well the

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 3>last couple of weeks, they are still a team that

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 3>the Jaguars have been chasing. Since well, since this season started,

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 3>and they were holding them off when last season ended.

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 3>So they're the class, They're the top of the food chain,

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 3>and to go out there and beat them would indicate

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.279
<v Speaker 3>that maybe you're not as bad as you looked against

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 3>the Lions, and that would be a big statement for

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 3>this team to make.

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.480
<v Speaker 5>John Yeah, and I think they should realize that. In

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:39.159
<v Speaker 5>the last two meetings with these teams, the Jaguars won

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 5>the one at the end of last season. It was

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 5>really the last breath of life for this team because

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:49.799
<v Speaker 5>Cincinnati came next and all of a sudden, everything started

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 5>falling apart.

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>And they know.

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 5>I don't want to say the Jaguars were the better

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 5>team in Houston, but they sure had plenty of chances

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 5>to put that game away and win. So the difference

0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 5>was isn't that much? I think the Jaguar I think

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:05.479
<v Speaker 5>it's the game the Jaguars can win. It won't save

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 5>this season, but I guess it would if you assume

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 5>that the Texans are going to be a team that

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.159
<v Speaker 5>the Jaguars as a franchise has to deal with going forward,

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 5>beating them, holding serve at home, bidding them for the

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.719
<v Speaker 5>first time here since seventeen. It would matter in the

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 5>sense that there wouldn't be a tilting toward the Texans

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.400
<v Speaker 5>feel right now, and maybe that would be a good

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 5>thing going forward.

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 3>And Kay, I think it's important to point out they're

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.599
<v Speaker 3>the best team remaining on the schedule, right, I mean, yeah,

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 3>the Titans, the Jets, the Texans are.

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 4>The best team.

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 3>Love, So if you have it in your mind, let's

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.039
<v Speaker 3>go on a little winning streak here at the end.

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.280
<v Speaker 3>To start with the best team and to beat them

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:48.040
<v Speaker 3>would give you something to build on.

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Stay with us on Jagsam.

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 2>We do not know what those internal changes are, but

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 2>we're going to give you our best guess after the break.

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.560

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:14.839
<v Speaker 1>This school the badness, this schools.

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back into jacks Aam.

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna do a little this or that.

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Doug Peterson talking about internal changes on both sides of

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 2>the football, but didn't want to elaborate any more than that,

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 2>but we're going to do our best to guess as

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 2>to what those might be. We'll start with some defensive

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 2>changes and I just picked two that I would like

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 2>to see, and I'll want your guys to point of view.

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.359
<v Speaker 2>If we could get Ventrel Miller's a starter and more snaps,

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:39.040
<v Speaker 2>or Eric Armstead only starting as defensive tackle, which one

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 2>would you.

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Like to see.

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 4>Armstead is a defensive tackle.

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 3>He's been a non factor to my site as a

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:50.160
<v Speaker 3>defensive end, you know what, rushing from that wide nine.

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:54.680
<v Speaker 3>But in the middle, he is tall, he's long, he

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 3>is the kind of guy with his arms stretched, is

0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.599
<v Speaker 3>in the field of view of the quarterback. I would

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 3>love to see him back where he had his most

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.600
<v Speaker 3>success in San Francisco, which is lined up in the

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:06.239
<v Speaker 3>three technique.

0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I agree with you, except I don't know. You know,

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:16.240
<v Speaker 5>it's hard for Trayvon and Josh to play every snap

0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.120
<v Speaker 5>out there, and I don't know who else to put

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 5>out there.

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 1>But I would take that.

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 5>With Armstead playing in the middle absolutely. At the same time,

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 5>I want to see Vntrel in there, Like I'd like

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:32.080
<v Speaker 5>to see a game where Ventrel plays most snaps every snap.

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 5>It's not gonna happen, because you know, I could take

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 5>Devin Boy completely off the field, but gearing more toward

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 5>both I would like to see.

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to see some more of Ventral in there

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 2>for sure.

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:42.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Looking at the offensive side of the football, Press Taylor

0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 2>and Doug Peterson, we've been talking about play calling for

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 2>what seemingly as months, and while we both think, I

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.600
<v Speaker 2>think we all think that they call pretty similar games.

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.560
<v Speaker 2>That may be one of the changes that we've been

0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 2>talking about. Because Doug didn't answer it before the the

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 2>bye week, and now he's saying there's changes.

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, he has an answered it all season, right, I

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 3>mean he has left it of two so that people

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 3>could guess. And when I'm at a speaking engagement or

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 3>in line of publics and someone starts railing about Press

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.120
<v Speaker 3>Taylor and his play calling, extinction and they should fire him,

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 3>like are.

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 4>You sure he's calling them?

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Doug could have clearly said I'm calling the

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 3>place or Press is calling the place, but he didn't

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 3>want to do that. Again, he's an old school guy.

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 3>He likes to leave people guessing his opponent. Also, you

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 3>know John there of the same mind. They've worked so

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.240
<v Speaker 3>closely together through the years. I don't know that it

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 3>matters which one calls the place.

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I've thought this since day one, that it's been

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 5>an overblown issue. It's been a hot point issue the

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 5>frankly Doug has created by leaving it be an issue.

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:46.880
<v Speaker 5>I don't think he thinks it's a big deal. I

0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 5>don't think it's a big deal with fans think it's

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 5>a big deal. Who calls play again, I think you're

0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 5>getting mostly the same result no matter who calls him

0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:00.120
<v Speaker 5>flip a coin.

0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 3>He's been adamant about it going back to his days

0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 3>in Philadelphia. Reportedly, that's what cost him the head coaching

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 3>job when he was with the Eagles was that he

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't make that change. And of course he stood up

0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 3>here right after the Lions game and wouldn't let people

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 3>point fingers as coaches, he said, point him at me.

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 3>So I don't think you'll ever know until one or

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:23.200
<v Speaker 3>both of them are doing something somewhere else who was calling.

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:24.880
<v Speaker 2>The placer get some insight after the fact.

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 4>Maybe maybe all.

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:28.559
<v Speaker 2>Right, coming up after the break, we're gonna tell you

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:41.920
<v Speaker 2>what we're thankful for this Thanksgiving for Jaguars bum For

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.320
<v Speaker 2>eleven years, Dreamfinders Holmes have been proud to call themselves

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.679
<v Speaker 2>the official homebuilder of the Jacksonville Jaguars. You can visit

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Dreamfindersomes dot com for all of the available inventory and

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:57.239
<v Speaker 2>go Jags back here on jag Dam Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.440
<v Speaker 2>So things are not where we expected them to be

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.360
<v Speaker 2>at this time year, but we're still thankful because we

0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 2>get to cover football every single day and we found

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:05.439
<v Speaker 2>a couple of things to be thankful for. I think

0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.720
<v Speaker 2>that's fair enough. But relative to football, yes, relative to football,

0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.520
<v Speaker 2>relative to this team, Brian, I think the stadium deal

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 2>has to be right up there this year.

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, it is for me because for so many years

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 3>it was a question mark if the Jaguars would be

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 3>in this market long term. There was a time in

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 3>two thousand and two where the stadium was empty and

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 3>they were giving away tickets, and you always look to

0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:29.440
<v Speaker 3>the future and what would cement this team in this

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 3>town long term championships do that they don't have one

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 3>of those yet, But to have a stadium like the

0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.120
<v Speaker 3>one that they're calling the Stadium of the future to

0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.680
<v Speaker 3>look forward to and a long term, thirty year lease

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:44.080
<v Speaker 3>means that you know, by the time we get to

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:45.599
<v Speaker 3>the end of at least the Jaguars should have a

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 3>couple of championships and a tradition and a couple of generations.

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 3>I think the stadium represents the long term future of

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.679
<v Speaker 3>the Jaguars and Jacksonville married together. So I'm personally very

0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 3>thankful having been here since the beginning for sure.

0:10:59.080 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah I am as well.

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 5>I mean it's as somebody who I was around when

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 5>or say landed the helicopter in the seventies, nobody of

0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 5>mine down the street had a Jacksonville Colt shirt all

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:11.760
<v Speaker 5>that stuff.

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.280
<v Speaker 1>So to have that be solidified.

0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.960
<v Speaker 5>Long after we're gone, Brian is it's a very cool thing,

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:23.920
<v Speaker 5>and in the big picture matters more than the immediate.

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.360
<v Speaker 5>We just need to get the immediate where it's more

0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:26.800
<v Speaker 5>fun than it.

0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you say the immediate would be really helpful right now,

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.680
<v Speaker 3>but when you when you pull out and think about

0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.559
<v Speaker 3>your kids, kids, kids being able to be Draguars fans

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 3>like the people in Wisconsin are with Green Bay, that's meaningful.

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.240
<v Speaker 2>I think one of the bright spots I always like

0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.480
<v Speaker 2>to point out is Brian Thomas Junior because I didn't

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.839
<v Speaker 2>expect it. John we I think we were both on

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.240
<v Speaker 2>the same page of let's get a corner, maybe someone

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.840
<v Speaker 2>on defense. But Brian Thomas Junior is one of the

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 2>brightest spots we've had this ye.

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Brian and I both thought they might go offensive line.

0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:58.679
<v Speaker 5>I didn't know which direction they would go. Anybody who

0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 5>reads me for the long term knows I expect very

0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.559
<v Speaker 5>little out of rookies usually, and Brian Thomas Junior.

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Has far exceeded my expectation.

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 5>I think what's the most exciting is you can see

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 5>what he is, you can see what he's gonna be.

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 5>And you know, if usually rookies are operating at about

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 5>forty percent of what they're going to become. When this

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 5>kid gets everything, meaning NFL level professionalism, when the game

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 5>slows down for him, he's got a chance to be

0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 5>top five and you know who knows how good he

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 5>can be.

0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I guess what I'm getting that, Bryan.

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, listen, I mean the unanswered prayers, right. I wanted

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 3>them to take offensive tackle. I really felt like in

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.680
<v Speaker 3>this draft high which was so loaded with great on

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.720
<v Speaker 3>young offensive tackles, and with Cam on his way out

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:45.320
<v Speaker 3>and Walker Little on the last.

0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.200
<v Speaker 4>Year of his deal, I want him take a tackle.

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 3>And then this kid comes through in his revelation and

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.120
<v Speaker 3>I'll just I'll use Jimmy Smith's phrase to me, wow,

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:56.520
<v Speaker 3>standing on the sidelines of that Colts game. Before complementing

0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 3>the Ring of Honor, he said, Wow, that kid is

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.079
<v Speaker 3>really good. And Jimmy does throw around a lot of

0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.319
<v Speaker 3>compliments to other wide receivers, so that one really sticks

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.760
<v Speaker 3>in my head. He is special. He will be that

0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.760
<v Speaker 3>guy who helps the quarterback with his game.

0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:10.199
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:12.520
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of pieces they need to add, but

0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 3>when you've got the quarterback and the wide receiver, mixing

0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.200
<v Speaker 3>the running back and the tight end, you've got some things.

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 3>But you got to have the alpha receiver. He's the

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 3>first alpha that we've had in Jacksonville since two thousand

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 3>and five.

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:25.880
<v Speaker 4>Good when Jimmy was playing.

0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:26.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's good to see it.

0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Mine is a little bit. I have a two parter

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.560
<v Speaker 2>because mine originally was I'm thankful we're not playing on

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Thanksgiving because I thought we were gonna play this year.

0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.120
<v Speaker 2>That's the only franchise that hasn't played on Thanksgiving that

0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 2>we're playing Detroit. Maybe we'll play that game. That wouldn't

0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.760
<v Speaker 2>have been very fun to see that Detroit game play

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.880
<v Speaker 2>out this week, and also to have the break be

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.200
<v Speaker 2>home with our families and be able to celebrate the holiday.

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:48.160
<v Speaker 1>So I am thankful for that.

0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.400
<v Speaker 2>But then also breaking news today, Tyler Shatley is back,

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.559
<v Speaker 2>and selfishly he is one of my favorite players that

0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.320
<v Speaker 2>I've ever covered. We're all big fans of him here

0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.040
<v Speaker 2>on the couch. So Tyler Shatley back in the house

0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 2>on a practice squad makes me happy.

0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 4>We look for Tyler and has a legitimate beard once again. Yes, man,

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.640
<v Speaker 4>he takes it very, very seriously. I'm grateful for him

0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 4>to be back to you.

0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 3>He came here in twenty fourteen as an untrafted rookie

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:14.000
<v Speaker 3>and stayed all those years. He's such a sage voice

0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 3>in the locker room. Even though he wasn't a starter

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 3>or a star, he was a guy that you could

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 3>always go to for a little bit of perspective. He's

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:21.120
<v Speaker 3>got it.

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 4>A great guy. Happy Thanksgiving, Glad to have.

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>You back to Yeah, no doubt and his eleventh season.

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 2>So nice to have an elder Jaguar statesman in the

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.280
<v Speaker 2>house again once again. All right, say with us, We'll

0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:31.360

<v Speaker 2>this Sunday's game against the Texans. Also going to be

0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 2>My Cause, My Cleats game, which is pretty cool because

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.600
<v Speaker 2>each player gets to pick a cause or charity that's

0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:08.880
<v Speaker 2>really important to them and get to wear that on

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 2>their cleats, which normally they're very particular about what you

0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.400
<v Speaker 2>get to wear for your uniform. I believe those are

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Ross Matti six is going to be representing the j Fund,

0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Trevor Lawrence doing Wilson's Children's Hospital, and then my personal

0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:21.160
<v Speaker 2>favorite cleats I don't know if we have yes, Evan

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Ingram is doing this special Education School of Florida and

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.880
<v Speaker 2>he loves that. And then this is also coach Shoey

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 2>and some of the other coaches are going to be

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 2>representing triple negative breast cancer research to honor Showey's wife

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 2>who just finished treatment in October, so happy for that.

0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Lots of great causes.

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Check it out.

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 2>We'll have a bunch of stuff posted throughout the week

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 2>about different players and what causes they're representing.

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:47.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the league is so percipity about uniform and socc length.

0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they have people with clipboards that walk around

0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:51.680
<v Speaker 3>on the sidelines before a game and you know, make

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.160
<v Speaker 3>sure that guys aren't violating that. So it was really

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.040
<v Speaker 3>nice to see when they let up for this a

0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.240
<v Speaker 3>few years ago and it was two or three players,

0:15:58.280 --> 0:15:59.720
<v Speaker 3>and now I think over the course of season, every

0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:00.840
<v Speaker 3>player the league gets to do this.

0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.120
