1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: Right. Welcome to Jacks Drive Jime with Ashlyn SELLI tells 2 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: chat Oceans Bryan Sexton. Jacks Drive starts right now. Offensively, 3 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I think we're a really hard nosed team 4 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: up front. Um, I can run the ball. I think 5 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 1: we're going to create a lot of explosives down the field. 6 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: That's something that I'm really confident with the guys we have. 7 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 1: And we've got a couple of great facts. Um and 8 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: that those are kind of it goes by offensive commandments 9 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: and protect the footballs, create explosives, um, fall security, all 10 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 1: those things. And there's there's more of them too. You 11 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: know we could talk about, but um and that's just 12 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: what we went by us. So we try to be 13 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: big plans for this Jaguar offense under second year quarterback 14 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Getting ready for Week one to get the 15 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: Washington Commanders. Welcome into Jaguars Drive Time on a Thursday 16 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: at Ashlyn, Bryan and John here with you as we 17 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,959 Speaker 1: get ready for this game, our last show of the week. 18 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: Preparing for this Washington Commander's game and back in the 19 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: locker room yesterday you can sell these guys are at 20 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: this point just ready to play. So much anticipation. I 21 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: was down by the offensive lineman talking to Brandon Sheriff 22 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: and mentioned that soot that you just played SoundBite with 23 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: the Trevor talking about the team's identity being hard nosed 24 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: and pushing guys around up front, and you just see 25 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: all the offensive lineman, you know, shaking their head. He 26 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: wasn't talking to them, but he might as well have been. 27 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: It resonated in the locker room. Yeah, and that's it's 28 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: it's what you want to hear. And of course you 29 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: don't know this team's identity as of right now, but 30 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: coach Peterson mentioned it as well. John. It's at the 31 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: point now where we want to know what's the definition 32 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: of this team, and we're not going to go until Sunday, 33 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: but they have a good idea. Yeah. I thought it 34 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: was interesting that Trevor went that way, and uh, yeah, 35 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: you kind of think, you know, but there's been so 36 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: many changes. I am sure. I thought it was interesting 37 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: that Trevor said that that's what they want to be, 38 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: that he went there first. I think sheriff coming around, 39 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: or the sheriff coming around right, sheriff being here is uh. 40 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: I think Trevor is right. I think it was Esday 41 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: when he talked about it. His identity, his attitude has 42 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: rubbed off. Um. I think that will surprise some people 43 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: who have watched this team, because they really weren't that 44 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: way last year. Therefore they have an identity. And in 45 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: the preseason. It's so hard to run in the preseason 46 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: because the offensive line isn't together the entire time. You 47 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: can't get continuity. And they didn't look like a powerhouse 48 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: running team in the preseason. But you could easily see scenarios. 49 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: You see it all the time where a team comes 50 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: out in preseasons out the window now and this is 51 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: what they are. I could see a a scrappy, mauling 52 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: sheriff in town kind of running game on Sunday, and 53 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: I think that'll surprise people. But I do think that's 54 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: what they want to be. Well, if people if you 55 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: played the rest of the SoundBite, you would hear him 56 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: talking about then going over the top right and going 57 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: from which is what a lot of people want to hear. 58 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: They don't want to hear three the origin, the cloud 59 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: of dust. They want to hear going deep. I had 60 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: visions of the Raiders of the seventies when he was 61 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: talking right hound, the ball draw, the safeties go over 62 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: the top. So it's not gonna come together necessarily in 63 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: Week one, but that's who they want to become by 64 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: the time this season is over, right, especially because it's 65 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: almost the trendy thing nowadays in the NFL to say, 66 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: oh or the explosive passing attack of course, and yeah, yeah, 67 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: we'll run the ball here and there. So I was 68 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: a little surprised as well for him to mention the 69 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: running game first. It's just part of who they're going 70 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: to be, but the part that the offensive line likes 71 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: to hear the most. Getting Jay rob in there is 72 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: key that I know we're moving on. But I don't 73 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: know that Travis e t N, just Travis e t 74 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: N would be a back for a malling scrapping team. 75 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: But you add James Robinson into that, and again, a 76 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: guy who wasn't there in the preseason. I think it 77 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: goes back to how this team looks on Sunday could 78 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: surprise even close Jaguars followers. A lovely transition for Big 79 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: Thing One is he back running back James Robinson preparing 80 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: for Week one and is anxious to get back on 81 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: the field. A man who is not very emotional really ever, 82 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: especially in yesterday's locker rooms the guys just ready to play. Yeah, 83 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: kind of sucked. I mean there's a couple of plays 84 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: they had to bring me out because I couldn't do 85 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: it because it was like thud or something like that. 86 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: But um, it was kind of hard, you just seeing 87 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: I was right there, but I wasn't there yet. But 88 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: I'm glad it Right now, I feel pretty good. I mean, 89 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: like I said, well, and I wasn't in the huddle 90 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: or anything like. It was kind of hard, just kind 91 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: of actually getting my reads down and not being able 92 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: to actually read it and I can make my cuts 93 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: and everything. But being in a huddle again, feel pretty 94 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: good and I like it. Big thing too is a 95 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: familiar foe. Head coach Doug Peterson knowing this lotching Commander's 96 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: team very well and knowing the quarterback Carson wants very well. 97 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: Peterson talking about the similarities between Carson Wentz and quarterback 98 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: Trevor Wines, Yeah, you know, it's similar, but in our 99 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: case is different because you're two for Trevor is a 100 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: different staff, right, different different head coach, different coordinator, different 101 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: position coach. Where Carson year two was the same same guys, 102 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,119 Speaker 1: and there was consistency there, you know. And and although 103 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: we've seen tremendous growth in Trevor um year two for 104 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: for Carson, with us, there was another there's another step, 105 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: there's another leap there and and um, you know, those 106 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: are things that we're trying to get Trevor to right 107 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: that level that with Trevor in our system and and um, 108 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna see it probably throughout the course of the season. 109 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: Um you know, but I think time will tell, you know, 110 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: with with him. And finally, big thing three is first 111 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: test this improved offensive line that we've been talking about 112 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: for months, the sheriff back in town. Big test this 113 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: weekends the Washington Commander's defensive fronts. Trevor Lawrence thinks his 114 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: offensive line is ready for the challenge. Man, I just 115 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: think they got the right mindset. I think um shaff 116 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: coming in really has elevated the whole group. You know, 117 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: it's a lot of the same guys that have been here, 118 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: but bringing in him and just his veteran presence, but 119 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: also just his work ethic and the way he attacks 120 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: every day, always ready to go, never complains, just has 121 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: that grit. It's a little bit nasty, like that's that's 122 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 1: something that those guys see and have seen it all, 123 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: you know, O t a s and camp and see 124 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: a guy who's had as much success as he's had 125 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: on his eighth season, I believe, and still brings that 126 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: intensity every day. I think it's elevated the whole boot 127 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: and that is big things on a Thursday morning, and 128 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: go back up to big thing on the biggest story 129 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: of the week. All the running backs back on the field. 130 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: James Robinson in the locker room yesterday, We're all waiting 131 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: for him to come off the practice field. He's like, 132 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,679 Speaker 1: oh great, there's thirty reporters in front of my locker. 133 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: You can just tell he's tired of all the questions 134 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: about the rehab, about the recovery. Just go play football 135 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: and let's talk about that from now on. I think 136 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: I said it the other day. It's the biggest story 137 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: and one of the biggest stories in the NFL. If 138 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: those two guys both play well on Sunday because of 139 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: the injuries, because of the position and that they're back, um, 140 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: it could go from being thirty reporters around his locker 141 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: to the next week. Right. It means as many is 142 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: it can squeeze around to hear from this young man 143 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: who was John just alluded to. The Jaguars are counting 144 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: on to give them a consistent running game, counting on 145 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: so much that they didn't go out and spend a 146 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: high draft choice. They wait until the fifth round to 147 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: grab SNeW Connor. Right, they didn't spend a lot of 148 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: money in free agency at this position, and that's what 149 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: they want to do. Run the ball and use play action. 150 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: I think only one coach in football used play action 151 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: more often than Doug Peterson from two thousand sixteen through 152 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: two thousand and twenty, if I read the statistics right. 153 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: So they're counting on this guy. Buckle up. It's a 154 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: phenomenal story, and I hope it's one that gets told 155 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: because he's having success, which means the Jagboars are having success. 156 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: Forty five reporters, What is he moving to New York? Well, 157 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,239 Speaker 1: you never know. Now it's it's h to your point, 158 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: it's a remarkable story that uh, you know, we've talked 159 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: about it all offseason and and we couched everything by 160 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: saying if these two are healthy under the point, I don't, uh. 161 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: I think James Robinson's health is more of a media 162 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: story than it is an actual story. At this point. 163 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: He wasn't on the injury report yesterday. You get no 164 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: impression from or from James Robinson. First of all, Doug 165 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: said yesterday, if James Robinson is playing and looking the 166 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: part and doesn't come off saying that he needs to 167 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: come out, well he's not gonna say he needs to 168 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: come out. I mean, he saw his kid in the 169 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: locker room acount his leg could fall off, and he's 170 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: not gonna come out and say that he needs to 171 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: fall out, you know, come out. So I think he's 172 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: gonna play the whole game on Sunday. What I'm curious 173 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: to see, guys island um is do? I guess he's 174 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: talking about my multiple personality? What is the workload? Like 175 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: everybody wants is James Robinson can get his normal workload 176 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: in this offense. We don't know what that, we don't 177 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: normal cloud it is. I think it's gonna be lighter 178 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: because I think they're gonna rotate, and I think fantasy 179 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: people are gonna be upset. I left the practice field 180 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: field yesterday practice field for what it is because they 181 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: weren't in full pads. But I left the practice field 182 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: yesterday saying to somebody, I don't see a pitch account 183 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: for this guy because he looked sudden as sudden as 184 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: James Robinson has ever right, Um, he looked light on 185 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: his feet. I thought he looked really good, you know, 186 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: again for practice. I was impressed, and I said to 187 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 1: somebody who were walking in, I don't see a pitch 188 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: account for this guy. He looks good. Yeah, And which 189 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: is that's crazy enough story that he doesn't have a 190 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: pitch count week one? Yes, right, Well, well, then the 191 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,359 Speaker 1: other side of it is, how do they use Travis Etna. 192 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 1: I don't know his role as much as you say, 193 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: John that we don't know what a normal workload is 194 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: going to be in Doug Peterson's offense. How is Travis E. 195 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: T n going to be deployed? I don't think he's 196 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: most effective running between the tackles. That doesn't mean he can't, 197 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: but I think there's We're gonna wait and see how 198 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 1: it evolves with you, all right? And that is big things. 199 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 1: Lots of big stories this week as we prepare for 200 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: a Week one against the Washington Commanders. When we come 201 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: back on Jaguars Drive time. Julie Donaldson from the Washington 202 00:09:47,760 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: Commanders joins us on the Jaguars Digital Network. We're back 203 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: Jaguar's Drive Time, getting ready for Week one against the 204 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: Washington Commanders, and happy to have Julie Donaldson, who was 205 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: on the Commander's game day radio broadcasting is the senior 206 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: vice president handling all things media for the Washington Commanders. Julie, 207 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us. Yeah, I'm glad with 208 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: me here. This is going to interested game for myself 209 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: because I'm actually from Jacksonville as well, and my parents 210 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: are coming up and my mom asked if she can 211 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: wear Jacksonville attire, and I said, uh, might need to 212 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: find her some Commanders these days. Maybe we can do 213 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: a dual outfit of Jaguar top Commander's bottoms. Will figure 214 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: it out. Well, that's so super cool. Well, very cool 215 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: to hear that you're from Jacksonville. What do you think 216 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: about this game? We think just the game as itself 217 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: is incredibly interesting for week one. Well, yeah, it's interesting 218 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: because just for the fact that it is week one, 219 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: you don't really know what you're going to get from 220 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: either team. Of course, you guys with a new coaching 221 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: staff and a lot of additions, UM trying to take 222 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: that next step. But then for Washington, like we're we've 223 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: got a lot of different editions on offense, and with 224 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: Carson Wins coming in here and now with extra options 225 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: of drafting John Dotson, Curtis Samuel being healthy, UM Jadie 226 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: McKissick being back in there as well, Like, how are 227 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: they going to decide to define themselves on offense? That's 228 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: something that everybody appears waiting to kind of see. And 229 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,479 Speaker 1: then they had Brian Robinson they drafted out of Alabama 230 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: that was really going to be exciting and kind of 231 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: really beef up this run game. And then of course 232 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: he tragically UM goes through and get shot in the 233 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: leg and he's working his way back from recovery, so 234 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: he's out. So we're kind of trying to figure out 235 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: what is the I didn't think gonna be on offense 236 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: and on defense? Can they step back up UM and 237 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: and be a dominant defense that they feel that they 238 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: should be UM And last year was rather a little 239 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: bit as than many will say. They were humbled and 240 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: a bit disappointed. Good morning, Julie. I UM, I think 241 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera has done a really good job at compartmentalizing things, 242 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: and I'd love your opinion on it. You know, they've 243 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: been some stories outside of football around the Commanders, and 244 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: yet when you read about the Commanders or talk to 245 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: people about the Commanders, it's all football. Can you give 246 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 1: us a sense of how Ron has kept that thing 247 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: focused on football this offseason and where this team is. 248 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: Is they get ready to start with opening Day? Yeah? 249 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: We asked him that question a lot because since he's 250 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: come here a couple of years ago, taking over a 251 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: team that just had three wins. COVID happens, he ends 252 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 1: up having cancer, doesn't miss a game, but he's going 253 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: through treatment throughout the entire season, and you could see 254 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: him just physically white. Alex Smith coming back from injury. Um, 255 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: everything that happens around the quarterbacks. I think he's had 256 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: like six or seven different starting quarterbacks in just a 257 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: few years that he has been here. Um. He attested 258 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: to his military background of just being kind of steady. 259 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: And that's the one thing that when I first took 260 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: on this job and was kind of learning about him, 261 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 1: everybody would say he's a very steady leader. Uh. And 262 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: he continues to be that way as he goes through 263 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: everything now and still kind of trying to lead this team. 264 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: Um to be able to say, okay, like one of 265 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: his favorite sayings is it's interesting and what's important? You know, like, 266 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: is it interesting, Okay, then let's not put pretty much 267 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: attention to it. If it's important, then we need to 268 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: focus in on it. Um. So he's done a really 269 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 1: good job kind of leading this team, and they've taken 270 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: on his personality as well, and you can kind of 271 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: see that this year with the players. Surely you could 272 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: make the argument that this is, uh, this could be 273 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 1: a last chance for Carson White. It's certainly a third chance, 274 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: which for NFL quarterbacks, you know, you don't get that many. 275 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 1: How is he approaching it? Uh? What's your sense of 276 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: sort of where he's at mentally going into this thing. 277 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: I have been impressed by Carson. I mean he gets 278 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: hit up on this question almost every single interview he 279 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: gets of that. Look, it didn't work out with the Eagles, 280 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: it didn't work out with you know, your guru that 281 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: drafted you. You know you're worth the Colts. And of 282 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: course everybody remembers that game that he had against you 283 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: guys last season that basically lost him his job in Indianapolis, Um, 284 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 1: which is why he's here in Washington. And look, I mean, 285 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 1: coach for Vera's gone out there and made it very 286 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 1: public that we want you, we want you to know 287 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: that this is your team. We believe in you. They 288 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: believe they can get him back to the form um 289 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: that he was in Philadelphia before he became succumbed to 290 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of different injuries that kind of just 291 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: like set things off in a bad course for him. 292 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: But he comes in as a different leader and a 293 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: different man. I mean, he claims that, you know, his 294 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: faith is first and foremost most important to him, so 295 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: that keeps him steady. That he's got a family, his 296 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: two little girls that don't care if he throws interceptions 297 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: or has a bad game. Uh, And so that kind 298 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: of keeps him grounded. And then it's football after that. 299 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: And make no mistake, this means a competitor. He understands 300 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: the pressure, He understands what this season means to him 301 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: in his career as a starter. Um. But so far, 302 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: I mean we're all curious to what does how does 303 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: he do? You know, Like he's got that arm to 304 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: stretch the field, we have the speed with Terry mccorde 305 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: and Johan Dodson to be able to draw those defenders away. Um, 306 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: But is he gonna, you know, be as accurate um 307 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: as you want at times? So I think we're all 308 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: just gonna sit back and wait and see how this 309 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: offense goes. But mentally, I feel like he's coming in 310 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: pretty sound and pretty confident in him off. Julie, how 311 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: is our old buddy Jack del Rio deploying his defense 312 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: without Chase Young, your best defensive player and one of 313 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: the best pass rushers in the game. How are you? 314 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: How is del Rio overcoming the absence of such a 315 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: great player early on? Yeah? Well, last season Chase Young 316 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: didn't get off to the hottest start that we anticipated. 317 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: After winning Defensive Rookie of the Year and having what 318 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: eight nine sacks or so um in that season, you 319 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: tend to expect those players to take big steps in 320 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: big leaves. He was struggling a little bit early on, 321 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: and then when he goes down to an injury, which 322 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: is pretty gruesome with an a c L and some 323 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: other things mixed in there, like he's gonna at least 324 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: miss the first four games of the season. Starting on 325 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: the physically and able to perform list Um, but they 326 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: came together as a unit when he was out. One 327 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: of the issues they had last season if they thought 328 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: a lot of guys were just going for the numbers 329 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: and playing individually, not as one unit. Um. And that's 330 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: something is Ryan Carrigan, as he is now in our 331 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,479 Speaker 1: coaching staff, having retired the all time sack leader for Washington. 332 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: Um comes in and says, you have to rush as one, 333 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: and so they kind of fall a little bit more 334 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: into their system without Chase out there. But look, montess 335 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: what is an animal of himself, a first round draft pick, Um, 336 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: and he has been quietly bracking up some pretty good numbers. 337 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: You know, you've got the interior line with Jonathan Alan 338 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: durn Payne. Drawn Payne has been having an outstanding camp. 339 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: James Smith Williams is coming in on the other side, 340 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: filling in for Chase Young. Um. Look, he might not 341 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: be a Chase Young, but he's a very capable edge 342 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: rusher as well. So they're trying to play more within 343 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: this system as opposed to playing individually. Well, I know 344 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: we all are looking forward to start this thing week 345 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: one of the regular season.

We've 358 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: got to you know, we've got to do the things 359 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: that we've talked about all offseason and training camp, and um, 360 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: I have a vision in my head and and you know, 361 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: I try to relate that and communicate that to the team. 362 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: And now they have to go out and try to 363 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: try to be that. You know. It's it's the fun part. Now, 364 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: it's the fun part of it. Head coach Doug Peterson 365 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: on what this team is going to look like week 366 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: one against the Washington Commanders. It's time for he will, 367 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: he won't. He might present it by Setteth. Seteth is 368 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: Jacksonville's trusted and reliable moving company, said it's probably the 369 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: official moving company of the Jacksonville job. For us to 370 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: get a stress free quote, visit sunneth dot com. All right, Bryan, 371 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: time for yours. He will. I'll go with a free 372 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: agent who hasn't gotten a ton of attention. That's Evan 373 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: named from the tight end, and he will play the 374 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: role of Alshon Jeffrey in this offense. If anyone's read 375 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's book Fearless, he talks about that season and 376 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: a few chapters, and Jeffrey was a key player. He 377 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: was the safety valve. He was the guy that was 378 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: always where he was supposed to be on third down. 379 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: He kept the chains moving, kept drives alive, and gave 380 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: them all kind of flexibility. And that's the rule I 381 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: believe that he will play in this offense. He won't 382 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: be Travis Kelsey, he won't be George Kittle. He's not 383 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: gonna be a hundred reception thirteen touchdown guy. Uh. You know, 384 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: those guys are focal points in San Francisco, in Kansas City, 385 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 1: and he's not gonna be the focal point here. But 386 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: he might be Dallas Knox, who the Buffalo Bills just 387 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: rewarded with a fat contract yesterday because he has become 388 00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's favorite go to target. Um espec actually when 389 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: things are down. So he's not gonna be that sexy, 390 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: flashy guy that a lot of people think of first 391 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: round tight end. But he's gonna be a workman like 392 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: guy who gets the job done. Um. He'll make some 393 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: plays through the course of the season will make you 394 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: go it was a good signing. He may also have 395 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: a couple of jobs that make you go, well, that's 396 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: what we saw in New York. Um. But I think 397 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: they've got a clearly defined role for him, like a 398 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: lot of things. We didn't see it in the preseason, 399 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: and I think it'll start to show itself on Sunday 400 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: in Washington. Yeah. I think he'll have some moments of 401 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: frustrate fans. Uh. But what I think he's going to 402 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: bring more than anything to this offense. Um, you have 403 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: to cover him if you're a defense because he's fast 404 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: enough and good enough to beat you on every play, 405 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: So you have to account for him, and if you don't, 406 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: he can get you beat. So I think he might 407 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: help other receive as other people in the offense as 408 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: much as he actually has stats. Yeah, I'm sure I 409 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: get asked all the times. I'm sure you all do 410 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: about Evan Ingram and oh my gosh, New York, he 411 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: always dropped balls, and I think he is well aware 412 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: of the consistency issues in his career. And I go 413 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: back to the night practice we had here when he 414 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 1: dropped a touchdown pass in the end zone from Trevor 415 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: Lawrence and I go back out to shoot a stand 416 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: up forty five minutes later, and he's out there running 417 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: routes with Trevor as well aware of the consistency issue 418 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: in his career. Have you talked to him in the 419 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: locker room yet? I have not. He is a sensational interview. 420 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: He's very thoughtful, uh and very well spoken on the topic. 421 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: So I would encourage you to find him in the 422 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: locker room. What do you say? I want to know? Now, 423 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: he acknowledges that he has had issues, but he also 424 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: says people don't see how hard he's worked to overcome 425 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: the issue. People only see the drops, and he knows 426 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: that that's part of the game. On tv UM, he's 427 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: been working on it diligently working on it and is 428 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: working on it physically right with the Juggs machine and 429 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: mentally to get himself ready to make a big place. 430 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: He knows he bet on himself with a one year 431 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: contract this year. He's prepared to win that bat Love. 432 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: It's John, what do you got? I have Tyson Campbell 433 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: and he will be an important matchup in this game. 434 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: Terry McClaren, the Redskins mean, I'm sorry. I had the 435 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: Commander's wider's see well, and I grew up a fan, 436 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: so it's it's extrically hard, but um this is a 437 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: good wide receiver corpses facing, so he and Shaq Griffin 438 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: are going to have their work cut out for him. 439 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: They'll be an important matchup, but he won't be overwhelmed 440 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: by this. And we talked all last year. Um, so 441 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: it's it's kind of going over past topics. A remarkable story. 442 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: This kid was Tyson Campbell last year. The first month 443 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: of that season could have broken and I get that 444 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: we're well beyond that. But he's even added to that 445 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: story in the sense that he may have been one 446 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: of their best two or three defensive players during training camp. 447 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody thought that was going to be 448 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: the case last September. He could have a year And 449 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: I guess this is sort of the he might because 450 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 1: it's not he will, he won't. He could, it's he will, 451 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: he won't. He might. Um, he might turn in this 452 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: year to that number one corner and he might be 453 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: the solution to their quote turnover issues. If the defensive 454 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: line and the defensive front gets the pass rush and 455 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: is as disruptive as we think, he will wind up benefiting. 456 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: I think he could have four or five interceptions this year, 457 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: which is a lot. He reminds me the way that 458 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: he runs, the way that he covers, He reminds me 459 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: of Rachine Mathis. He's got fluid hips, he can turn 460 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: and run. Uh. He's got an in eight cents now 461 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: of how to play the ball that he didn't have 462 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: last year. Um. I just I think he's got the chance. 463 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: He's quiet too. Rashie Mathis was not a big talker. 464 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 1: He was quiet but deadly on the field, right Um. 465 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: And I think by the end of this year we 466 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: could see some of those Rachine Mathis traits, which would 467 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 1: be great, not because he went to three Pro Bowls, 468 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: but because he's the all time leading interceptor here in 469 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: Jacksonville with I love his story. I think it's one 470 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: of the best stories here on the Jaguars roster. Because 471 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: you're so right last September now you would have said 472 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: last year or at this point last year. Now he's 473 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 1: gonna be floating the number one wide receiver gainst any opponent, 474 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: which is what my Cobbill said a couple of weeks ago. 475 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: You just said, no way, no way, this guy can 476 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: do that. You think his confidence level is higher with 477 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker up front. Yeah, that certainly helps. Al Right, Smike, 478 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: he will he won't t is running back Travis E 479 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 1: t N. He will play on Sunday, and that is 480 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: significant in his in itself. But I'm gonna go ahead 481 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: and say that he will. It's gonna be incredibly close. 482 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: He will end up getting more carries than James Robinson 483 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: on Sunday. I'm very curious to see how this works out, 484 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: how they balance the two of these guys. What a 485 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: lovely problem to have. But he won't be the starting 486 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: running back. James Robinson is going to be on the 487 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: depth chart and run out as the starting running back. 488 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: But we don't really know what this offense is gonna 489 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: look like. And really you don't need a starting running 490 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: back when you have both these guys who are able 491 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: to do it. And he might just get in the 492 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: end zone on Sunday. I want James Robinson and him 493 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: to get a touch on Sunday to make the story. 494 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: Just put a bow on it, making an even better story. 495 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: But man, want to come back story for Travis E. 496 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: T N. And if he gets a touchdown on Sunday, yeah, 497 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 1: then there will be forty five quarters in front of 498 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 1: his locker at least maybe nineties. Right, it keep doubling. 499 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: The remarkable thing about eat enemy Brian. You said earlier 500 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 1: he's not really between the tackles guy, and you're right, 501 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: prototypically he's not that. But what's remarkable to me he 502 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: runs hard for a running back at his size. I 503 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 1: envisioned when he came in, a player who ran basically 504 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: outside the tackles, got by on his speed. His quickness 505 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: made people miss He's he's very good at that. But 506 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: when he has to run inside and put his head down, 507 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,719 Speaker 1: he does. He's a really tough guy and a very 508 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: unique runner. Right. I'm sure there are others who run 509 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: like him, but to combine that at his size, I 510 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: think Jaguars fans are going to like him because of 511 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: the toughness as much as because of the speed outside 512 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: he can run between the tackles. I'm just not sure 513 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: how many times you want to give him that responsibility, right, 514 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: I mean, how many touches do you see him getting 515 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty a game? I yeah, I think that's 516 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: high for either because, uh, I some point, if you're 517 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 1: doing that, then you're had the two backs testing at 518 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: thirty eight times. But well the next couple you're going, well, yeah, yeah, 519 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks you face some big and 520 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: talented defensive fronts. I mean right out of the gate 521 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: with Washington with the three first rounders. But then you 522 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: come back next week and you've got Indianapolis, and then 523 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: you have to go and play the big boys out 524 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: on the West coast in Los Angeles. So I mean, 525 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: I just we'll find out what he's going to become. 526 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 1: I just don't look at him and think, well, yeah, 527 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: pound him right. Funny enough, he said yesterday in the 528 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: locker room that now that James Robinson is back, he 529 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: now can take all the inside runs. Now that he's 530 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: back and he'll worry about so. Joe Travis kind of 531 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: understands it too. His speed is best utilized off tackles. 532 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: You handle that over there, and he can do it. 533 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: And we did see that. And he is a tough 534 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: kid and he's not scared of it. Yes, all right, 535 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: that is he will he won't. He might present it 536 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: by Setteth when we come back on Jaguar's Drive Time 537 00:25:51,200 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: some Monday's Headlines today. It is time for Monday's Headlines Today. 538 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: We are predicting what we'll be talking about on this 539 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: fine program come Monday morning at nine, recapping Week one 540 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 1: against the Washington Commanders. We think, well, in typical political fashion, right, 541 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: I'll go with gridlock, which is what we see so 542 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: often from Congress, uh and the Senate and Uh. The 543 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: Jaguars defensive line I think will create no room for 544 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: the Redskins to be able to get things done on 545 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: the ground. Uh. I'm sorry, Yeah, I still call me. 546 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: I still called him to San Diego Chargers. I mean 547 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: that's just that's fifty years of that. UM. I and 548 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: I think that the Jaguars defensive line will stack things 549 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: up and make it very hard to get anything done. 550 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: For the commanders on the ground on Sunday. N What 551 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: are you thinking? Well, I think the uh, the Jaguars 552 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: will win. First of all. I think they will win 553 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: by creating turnovers, which will create a turnaround for the organization. 554 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,239 Speaker 1: So my headline is turnover, turn around, turn it. Uh. 555 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: I see you've gotten into the spirit of this segment 556 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: this year. I don't. They don't nothing to say. If 557 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: you're going to be the last headline, you better be good. 558 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: It's so boring. My headline compared is it's Running Game revamp. 559 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: Because we're gonna talk about the Running Game on Monday 560 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: and how revamped it is because Trevor Lawrence said that's 561 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: what he wants his offense to be, and that's what 562 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: it will be because Trevor gets what he wants to 563 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: turn it up. That as exciting as this guy, it 564 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: certainly isn't. He's going last next week. All right, that's 565 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive Time on a Thursday. Thank you for tuning 566 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: in with us.
