Speaker 1: Welcome into jags Am. Here.
Speaker 2: It is day thirteen, lucky number thirteen practice of training
Speaker 2: camp for the Jaguars. As it's beautiful day to be outside,
Speaker 2: so we took jags Am outside once again as we
Speaker 2: enjoy our third week and thirteenth day of practice. I'm
Speaker 2: ka Nannie Stevens here with Brian Sexton and John Oser.
Speaker 1: It's uppiced to be outside again. Enjoy the weather right.
Speaker 3: Well, after so many days inside with all that rain,
Speaker 3: it is nice to be outside.
Speaker 4: It's got kind of that humid feel. It's just a
Speaker 4: touch of it, but it's not bad. So let's go
Speaker 4: watch the football.
Speaker 2: Tis the season, Yes, football's right around the corner. We're
Speaker 2: just a little over forty eight hours out from actually
Speaker 2: seeing some preseason football and we're getting pretty excited for that.
Speaker 2: Let's get into our big things today. We have our
Speaker 2: first big things say, which is the depth chart that
Speaker 2: came out earlier this week because we have our first
Speaker 2: game of the season obviously on Saturday against the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: And Ryan Nielson, defensive coordinator, said, yeah, we put out
Speaker 2: a depth chart, but don't put a lot of stock
Speaker 2: into it.
Speaker 5: The depth chart is etched insand so it can change
Speaker 5: really really on. It could be gamed game playing time.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's we take this thing. We talked about this,
Speaker 5: it's a one day at a time. Every single day counts,
Speaker 5: every rep counts, doesn't matter who that rep is against.
Speaker 5: We're evaluating that player for what he's done on that
Speaker 5: particular rep on tape. That matters, you know, in every
Speaker 5: aspect of the program.
Speaker 2: So that depth chart is in sand Bryan, obviously we
Speaker 2: know things are kind of fluids, specifically on the defensive
Speaker 2: side of the ball. Was there anything that jumped out
Speaker 2: to you on that depth chart? You think it's just
Speaker 2: it is what it is.
Speaker 6: Well, I think you know who the starters are going
Speaker 6: to be, right.
Speaker 3: But Ryan is consistent and he has said since he
Speaker 3: got here that the depth chart means nothing to him.
Speaker 3: He's about evaluating players in different positions, in different combinations
Speaker 3: with other guys. He wants to give everybody a really
Speaker 3: good look. So I smiled when he said it. He
Speaker 3: because it's a great line, right. I can think of
Speaker 3: a handful of great coaches quotes in thirty years with
Speaker 3: this franchise, and that's on the list of top ten.
Speaker 3: I mean, just because the wry smile that he had
Speaker 3: when he delivered it perfectly. But no, I mean, you
Speaker 3: know who the starters are going to be, and we're
Speaker 3: talking about filling out the fifty three at this point,
Speaker 3: and he's steadfast in his belief that there are some
Speaker 3: talented guys on this roster that just need a good,
Speaker 3: thorough evaluation. It's just another reason why I think he's
Speaker 3: a terrific coach. Yeah, it's exactly what you should say
Speaker 3: this time of year. I'm penciling Josh hinz Allen as
Speaker 3: a start or not. I think might start so, but yes,
Speaker 3: in the secondary linebackers, they want the defensive line, for example,
Speaker 3: to be an eight person rotation. Well, go ahead and
Speaker 3: keep telling them that it's that there's no depth chart.
Speaker 3: Keep the ninth and tenth guy working hard, believing in it.
Speaker 6: Why not? I mean, we get it. So it's fine
Speaker 6: if he says that, fair enough.
Speaker 2: Our second big thing today is BTJ Day Bryan Thomas Junior,
Speaker 2: the rookie wide receiver drafted out of LSU. We've seen
Speaker 2: some flashes from him. I think yesterday was probably his
Speaker 2: best day of camp. Caught a couple good balls from
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence and he talked a little bit to the
Speaker 2: media after practice about what it means to him to
Speaker 2: be able to play different roles on this team.
Speaker 7: Very real, just having him being able to play all
Speaker 7: the three positions and out to play inside and just
Speaker 7: do all they move, They move you around, try to
Speaker 7: get the best look for you, get the best matchup
Speaker 7: for you. So I would say it's very challenging, but
Speaker 7: just coming out here and doing it each and every day,
Speaker 7: you'll get better.
Speaker 4: You get better.
Speaker 2: Obviously he's gonna have some rookie moments kind of learning
Speaker 2: as things go along. Christian Kirk in that wide receiver
Speaker 2: room a great veteran presence for him. John What can
Speaker 2: we expect out of Brian Thomas Junior right away? Obviously
Speaker 2: we know he's a great deep threat, but he's learning
Speaker 2: other aspects and we're seeing other aspects of his game.
Speaker 6: Yeah, right away.
Speaker 4: I don't know how much you'll see in the preseason
Speaker 4: because that can be sort of catch his catch can
Speaker 4: What I want to see early is maybe what we
Speaker 4: can't see makes any sense his impact. I think coordinators
Speaker 4: are going to know he's there. I think coordinators are
Speaker 4: going to have to account for him in the red
Speaker 4: zone and deep so I have no idea what his
Speaker 4: stats will be this season, but I think he's a
Speaker 4: legitimate part of a four person with Gabe Davis, Christian Kirk,
Speaker 4: Evan Ingram, and Brian Thomas Jr. I think he matters
Speaker 4: in that equation, so the defensive coordinators will have to
Speaker 4: account for him. I think if that's true, over the
Speaker 4: course of time this season, he will get his numbers
Speaker 4: in the If you're asking exactly what you're looking for,
Speaker 4: I think three or four times in the first nine
Speaker 4: or ten games you want him to stretch the field
Speaker 4: and make a play where, oh, well, now we flip
Speaker 4: the field. Now this team's facing first and ten at
Speaker 4: the forty instead of first and tent their own twenty.
Speaker 4: If he makes that kind of impact, Brian, I think
Speaker 4: the last half the season he can really come on
Speaker 4: once he has chemistry at travel.
Speaker 3: You're talking like the play he made over Ronald Darby
Speaker 3: yesterday down the sideline where he snatched.
Speaker 4: The ball once every few games to give you the
Speaker 4: real yards. And when coordinators see that, they're gonna have
Speaker 4: to account for it, which is going to make the
Speaker 4: offense function in a way that I'm not sure if
Speaker 4: functioned last year without two guys who can stretch it
Speaker 4: in Davis and Thomas.
Speaker 3: In that play, which was all over the internet yesterday,
Speaker 3: you can see the measurables right the height, the speed,
Speaker 3: and the length and just the freakish athletic ability to
Speaker 3: be able to take a ball that you can't quite
Speaker 3: control and control it and then keep running full speed.
Speaker 6: He's got all that.
Speaker 3: I've watched him really closely during camp in the way
Speaker 3: that the Jaguars use him, and I have felt since
Speaker 3: they drafted him that his speed and size it's going
Speaker 3: to make a safety be on their heels as opposed
Speaker 3: to running towards the line of scrimmage. And I think
Speaker 3: in his impact, as John said, he's going to make
Speaker 3: some plays, his impact is that he is going to
Speaker 3: open things up in that box and give Trevor much
Speaker 3: more to work with in terms of the running game
Speaker 3: room for Evan Ingram Underneath, I think Brian Thomas is
Speaker 3: a combination of all the things that you need to
Speaker 3: have that downfield passing attack and benefit underneath.
Speaker 6: And Brian, what you just talked about something fans might miss,
Speaker 6: but it matters very much.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, I think it's exciting to kind of see
Speaker 2: the role he'll have and then as it becomes more
Speaker 2: of an explosive plays or whatever it is, as the
Speaker 2: season goes along, excited to see it myself, say able
Speaker 2: us Here on jags Am. We are live at training camp.
Speaker 2: Practice coming up are a little bit more of a
Speaker 2: preview of game time. Jack's Am brought to you by
Speaker 2: Field's Auto Group Jacksonville Premier Luxury Auto Group.
Speaker 1: You can go to Fieldsauto dot com.
Speaker 5: Try everything exactly the same to prepare the player for
Speaker 5: Sunday to that Hey.
Speaker 6: It's not different.
Speaker 5: Hey, just trust your fundamentals and technique, understand the scheme,
Speaker 5: and then play hard.
Speaker 1: As simple as that.
Speaker 2: Guy's got to keep your routine, keep everything the same.
Speaker 2: We know football players like their routines, athletes of any sort.
Speaker 2: So Ryan Neilson said he's trying to do that as
Speaker 2: much practice the way you play and keep everything in
Speaker 2: the same kind of timeline so that you know when
Speaker 2: some of these younger players, these rookies get out in
Speaker 2: their first game ever in the NFL, that they're not
Speaker 2: kind of overwhelmed by.
Speaker 3: That routine builds consistency, and it's consistency that separates good
Speaker 3: from great, and you could just see the desire on
Speaker 3: Ryan's part to get consistency from all of those young
Speaker 3: players on the defensive side.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think on Saturday you want to see those
Speaker 4: guys play fast. I mean it's to me, I'm not
Speaker 4: as concerned on Saturday with the defense. It gives up
Speaker 4: a touchdown early. It is Patrick Mahomes. But you like
Speaker 4: to see them playing the way they have during practice,
Speaker 4: which is with an urgency and with a suddenness that
Speaker 4: gives you the impression that they get the defense and
Speaker 4: they know how it's functioning. So you'd like to see
Speaker 4: some speed and confidence out of that unit, and I
Speaker 4: think you will because you've seen it.
Speaker 6: In practice so far.
Speaker 3: And we haven't talked a lot about this, but to
Speaker 3: talk to people around here, this defense is much it's
Speaker 3: less complex. I don't want to say simple because that
Speaker 3: makes it seem like it's too simple. But he has
Speaker 3: made this something that these guys can adapt to very
Speaker 3: quickly and as John said, be able to play fast
Speaker 3: and simplifying this defense, you can just see it.
Speaker 6: You can see how confident these guys are.
Speaker 2: A lot has changed. We haven't seen them play a
Speaker 2: football game six seven months. Obviously, the whole defensive side
Speaker 2: of the Ball's new coaching staff, Trevon Walker, talked a
Speaker 2: little bit about this last week, how his role is
Speaker 2: going to change, and he's really excited about the new
Speaker 2: role he's going to play.
Speaker 6: I feel like it fits me great.
Speaker 8: We're playing straight forward and I feel like with me
Speaker 8: playing with my hand in the dirt, I feel a
Speaker 8: lot more explosive and I feel like I can just
Speaker 8: play ball now.
Speaker 1: You can miss any part of dropping into coverage.
Speaker 8: Oh I mean no, no, not at all. But I
Speaker 8: mean the more you can do, the more the better.
Speaker 8: So whatever my teams need.
Speaker 2: John, I think it's obvious he's not gonna miss dropping
Speaker 2: back into coverage very much.
Speaker 1: But is this Is this a better suit for his talents?
Speaker 1: You think?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it remains to be seen. We haven't seen everything
Speaker 4: they're gonna do with him. I always go back to
Speaker 4: last year when Steelers coach Mike tom And called him
Speaker 4: a wrecking ball. And Tomlin typically isn't given to praising
Speaker 4: opponents unless it's warranted, and a Trayvon can be a
Speaker 4: wrecking ball. He was at the end of last season.
Speaker 4: It feels like this defense will put him in more
Speaker 4: situations where when you're a rookie. For example, for him,
Speaker 4: he's he's obviously usually the most dominant, strongest person in
Speaker 4: his matchup. As a rookie, it's hard to make that
Speaker 4: stand out all the time because you're not sure how
Speaker 4: to use that ability. I think in year three, in
Speaker 4: this scheme, I think you're gonna see wrecking ball Trayvon
Speaker 4: very consistently. So yeah, I think it does fit him well.
Speaker 3: They're gonna they're gonna be able to move him inside, right,
Speaker 3: they talked about doing that some last year, but with
Speaker 3: Eric Armstead, now you can do some tricky things where
Speaker 3: you get him and what they call that three technique
Speaker 3: the inside shoulder of the guard and able to get
Speaker 3: up the field where he's gonna have mismatches. So it's
Speaker 3: projection on my part, but I think this does fit
Speaker 3: what he does really really well. And I think it's
Speaker 3: important that people they don't see him as being the
Speaker 3: other Josh Han talent Josh is that he's that edge
Speaker 3: rusher who can bend and get. That's not what Trayvon does.
Speaker 3: Trayvon destroys, I mean, he tears things apart on his
Speaker 3: way to the quarterback. So in that sense, this scheme
Speaker 3: and the way that they're gonna use with his hand
Speaker 3: on the ground allows him to get off the ball
Speaker 3: with more power and that's his game.
Speaker 4: And to me, the most fascinating thing about this team
Speaker 4: that we didn't see last year is the combination of
Speaker 4: heinz Allen, but particularly Trayvon, Devon Hamilton and Eric Armstead healthy,
Speaker 4: three guys who can dominate and disrupt. Get those three
Speaker 4: guys healthy playing together. I'm not leaving Hines down out
Speaker 4: of it, but that you know, three wrecking balls. Really
Speaker 4: we haven't seen that. We haven't even seen Armstate in
Speaker 4: it yet. That's the X factor to me defensively that
Speaker 4: I get, they're playing fast, I get all that, but
Speaker 4: if those three guys are as dominant as it feels
Speaker 4: like they could be, then all of a sudden, you
Speaker 4: can be a dominant defense.
Speaker 6: And they have such great length.
Speaker 3: I mean, Eric Armstead is bigger, if it's possible, than Trayvon,
Speaker 3: and so you've got two guys with that kind of
Speaker 3: length and disruptiveness. You can put them next to each
Speaker 3: other on opposite side to the line. You create a
Speaker 3: lot of problems for offensive coordinators.
Speaker 2: It's always about the trenches on the other side of
Speaker 2: the football. The offensive line is something we talked about
Speaker 2: endlessly last season, still going to be a focus this season.
Speaker 2: Obviously a new center in Mitch Morris. He spoke a
Speaker 2: little bit last week as well about what it's going
Speaker 2: to take to kind of get that consistency of playing
Speaker 2: with people and dealing with injuries as well on the
Speaker 2: offensive line, just.
Speaker 9: The resilience of the group. You know, we had a
Speaker 9: few guys go down, as is the nature of training camp,
Speaker 9: and you know, guys stepped in then Bat and Eye
Speaker 9: worked when they had to. And the great thing about
Speaker 9: that is and when you go off the field, you
Speaker 9: have this huge kind of relax feel because you know
Speaker 9: you put your work in and then we can make
Speaker 9: the adjustments and feel free to run and fly around
Speaker 9: make mistakes because we're just trying to hear to get better,
Speaker 9: and I think this group does.
Speaker 6: A very good job of that.
Speaker 2: As Morise mentioned, a couple of injuries we saw on
Speaker 2: the offensive line last week. Anton Harrison in the concussion
Speaker 2: protocol but is out practicing today, which is the first
Speaker 2: we've seen him kind of participating in practice. Brian, what
Speaker 2: what should we expect to see from the offensive line.
Speaker 2: Is it going to be the full starting line.
Speaker 3: No, it's not a Doug said two hours ago in
Speaker 3: his news conference that we wouldn't see Ezra Cleveland this week,
Speaker 3: nor would we see Anton Harrison. Good news is Cam
Speaker 3: Robinson will be back out there, and obviously we'll see
Speaker 3: Mitch Brandon Sheriff, you know, Walker Little probably over at
Speaker 3: right tackle.
Speaker 6: So no, you won't see the whole thing.
Speaker 3: And it's gonna require some resiliency, which was Mitch's code
Speaker 3: word there. It's gonna require guys to communicate and when
Speaker 3: if Chris Jones plays right, be prepared.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, I'm not looking past the Chiefs game.
Speaker 4: But I think from Doug's perspective, he puts a lot
Speaker 4: of value that I think maybe fans when they're looking at, Okay,
Speaker 4: how's it going to prepare, he puts an awful lot
Speaker 4: of value on those joint practices next week. I think
Speaker 4: he would love nothing more than to have full offensive line, Ezra,
Speaker 4: Anton and the three for two days of practice where
Speaker 4: they know what they want to do against the Bucks,
Speaker 4: hopefully get through that, and then have them available the
Speaker 4: last preseason game. Just from listening to Doug over the
Speaker 4: last couple of years. I think his approaches. If I
Speaker 4: can get those five working in those two practices in
Speaker 4: that last game, then that'll be as close to cohesion
Speaker 4: all that as he can get. I think he'll give
Speaker 4: up this first preseason game if he can get those
Speaker 4: three key.
Speaker 2: Workpoints, get those quality reps next week. Stay with us
Speaker 2: here on JAGSA. I'm coming up after the break. We'll
Speaker 2: go over a little bit more about that Chiefs game,
Speaker 2: what players were expecting to have good games.
Speaker 1: Jaguars fans, you're reminded.
Speaker 2: To the Firehouse Subs San Marco location at nineteen forty
Speaker 2: nine San Marco Boulevard in Jacksonville tomorrow from three to
Speaker 2: four for a very special event. You can meet current
Speaker 2: Jaguars players, Jackson Deville, the Roar cheerleaders.
Speaker 1: Will be there.
Speaker 2: It's all the kick off the thirtieth year of Jaguars
Speaker 2: football and Firehouse Subs in Jacksonville. We hope to see there.
Speaker 2: Got a lot of fans here in attendance. Today rainy,
Speaker 2: it's not too too hot so in the shad. It's
Speaker 2: nice day to take in practice and as we get
Speaker 2: very close to game time, things are getting very exciting.
Speaker 2: We're gonna see real football. It's been six seven months
Speaker 2: at this point, so I know it's preseason football, but
Speaker 2: it's still football for us, And obviously against the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl champs, you can learn a lot from that, especially
Speaker 2: because we've heard Andy Reid similar and Doug Peterson he'll
Speaker 2: play his starters for about a quarter and a half
Speaker 2: as well. So you're gonna get the best, right So
Speaker 2: whoever you probably more that we don't know about you.
Speaker 3: Whoever gets the chance to line up against Travis Kelsey,
Speaker 3: Chris Jones. I mean, those are really valuable reps.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's about as exciting as a preseason game gets,
Speaker 4: so kind of that exciting, but it's so fit. It's
Speaker 4: still better to have the champs in here than not
Speaker 4: fair enough?
Speaker 1: All Right, what are some players You're like? Yeah, who
Speaker 1: are you looking at?
Speaker 3: Who you chose you treat? Prince is the guy that
Speaker 3: you know. He's a guy of the three young corners,
Speaker 3: and they have three that are making moves in camp, right,
Speaker 3: Krek Brown, Christian Braswell and Trey Prince. He's the guy
Speaker 3: that I think has the most upside, and so on
Speaker 3: Saturday night he will have the opportunity because the Chiefs
Speaker 3: send the ball down the field. It doesn't matter who
Speaker 3: the quarterback is. And there are some receivers, you know,
Speaker 3: Kadarius Tony might be playing. When he's out on the field.
Speaker 3: That's a guy with elite speed, So I think he'll
Speaker 3: have a great test. I don't expect him to be
Speaker 3: a guy that breaks the starting lineup, but he has
Speaker 3: everything that you need mentally, physically, all of that. I
Speaker 3: think he's the one with the greatest opportunity. He might
Speaker 3: be the air apparent to go over to that other side.
Speaker 3: Right Ronald Darby is a stopgap guy on a short
Speaker 3: term contract. I think Prince, the way that I have
Speaker 3: seen him play, I think they might have found a
Speaker 3: guy who has the ability to become a starter in
Speaker 3: his second third season.
Speaker 6: Here, Yeah, my guy's tank Bigsby.
Speaker 4: Originally he will, he will, he might so stick to
Speaker 4: the format. I think he will get ample opportunity need
Speaker 4: tomorrow you know, on Saturday. I'm sorry, because he's the
Speaker 4: guy who needs reps. I think this is an opportunity
Speaker 4: to get him real reps. That was the one thing
Speaker 4: they couldn't quite do last season. They couldn't quite have
Speaker 4: the confidence in him to get him in there when
Speaker 4: he needed it.
Speaker 6: Well, this is the first opportunity that, hey, go at it,
Speaker 6: show you what you got. He won't. He won't leave
Speaker 6: me hanging this year.
Speaker 4: And you know, I liked Tank a lot and I
Speaker 4: talked him up a lot last training camp, and the
Speaker 4: circumstances just never played out. You had a couple fumbles early,
Speaker 4: and it felt to me like the coaches they liked
Speaker 4: the idea of him, they liked him, they liked his talent,
Speaker 4: and yet on third and two there never quite came
Speaker 4: the situation where is it better to have Tank or Travis. Well,
Speaker 4: the games were always so tight that it was like,
Speaker 4: we got to go with Travis because he's our best guy.
Speaker 4: So I think he'll get much more opportunity to do
Speaker 4: that this year, and he might. I hate to say
Speaker 4: it because fans give me grief out all the time
Speaker 4: about Tank Bigsby, but I still think that he might
Speaker 4: be the guy to give them production, reliability, the physicality
Speaker 4: that's needed to withstand the wear and tear. I still
Speaker 4: think he might be okay as the other option to
Speaker 4: Travis ETN. And if he doesn't do it this year,
Speaker 4: I won't be talking about him next year During training
Speaker 4: camp but I still think he's got that shot.
Speaker 6: I think he is the guy.
Speaker 3: Listen, Travis etn is a guy that can break big
Speaker 3: plays right, But he's not the guy that I have
Speaker 3: competence in on third down and one why Well because
Speaker 3: last year they didn't get it done right.
Speaker 6: They were that wouldn't Travis Well.
Speaker 3: I'm not blaming it at all on him, but I
Speaker 3: don't think he's that power back, and I think you
Speaker 3: need a power.
Speaker 6: Back in this game. So I do think he's a
Speaker 6: nice compliment and I expect that he will this year.
Speaker 2: I think we will see a lot different running game
Speaker 2: because of the line, and I'm hoping that shows up
Speaker 2: right away in this game. So I'm for sure with
Speaker 2: you on that and hope let tank. Now he's been
Speaker 2: here for a year, he'll have a little bit trust
Speaker 2: with how things work. I think they have to trust him.
Speaker 2: They don't have an option anymore. Obviously we saw last
Speaker 2: year it didn't work if they don't, so they definitely
Speaker 2: need to trust him going forward. I'm gonna go with
Speaker 2: another young guy. I'm gonna go with Brian Thomas Junior.
Speaker 2: We talked about had one of his best days of
Speaker 2: camp yesterday. I think he will surprise you a little bit.
Speaker 2: Obviously we know he's fast, but I feel like he's
Speaker 2: a little sneaky fast at times where he's running and
Speaker 2: then kind of puts in a little extra jet at
Speaker 2: the end. So I think when you see that in
Speaker 2: real action, you might be a little bit surprised by that.
Speaker 2: He's not he won't be the focus of the offense tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I think that's still Christian Kirk. They've Trevor shown a
Speaker 2: lot of progress with Gabe Davis as well, who's a
Speaker 2: new wide receiver.
Speaker 1: So as Brian Thomas Junior.
Speaker 2: Kind of figures things out, he's not gonna be the
Speaker 2: focus right out of the gate, but he might pick
Speaker 2: things up quicker than we expect him to. Even just
Speaker 2: in the two and a half weeks that we've seen
Speaker 2: of his practice so far, he's leaps and bounds because
Speaker 2: I don't see him make a lot of repeated mistakes.
Speaker 2: I feel like when things get addressed with him, he
Speaker 2: kind of moved forward, moves forward from there, and that's.
Speaker 1: All you can really ask of a rookie. Obviously, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff they're not going to know how
Speaker 1: to do. They've never played in.
Speaker 2: The NFL before, but seeing someone pick things up quickly
Speaker 2: and not repeat mistakes is going to be huge for him.
Speaker 6: I feel like you guys, yeah, we talked about it.
Speaker 4: I think he's going to make an impact, and I've
Speaker 4: been surprised during camp frankly at how many plays he
Speaker 4: has made and how comfortable he looks. He gives me
Speaker 4: great optimism that by the second half this season. I've
Speaker 4: always said with a rookie, Brian, especially a high drafted rookie,
Speaker 4: what you want is by the time we're done with
Speaker 4: this this year and we're doing our wrap up show
Speaker 4: in January or February, Hey, this kid's going to be
Speaker 4: really good.
Speaker 6: This kid's a keeper. This kid's going to be a
Speaker 6: core guy.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'd see it every week as a rookie,
Speaker 4: but you want to really be excited and have him
Speaker 4: be an off season topic next offseason.
Speaker 3: I think he can be that guy. You know, since
Speaker 3: Jimmy Smith retired in two thousand and five, they've had
Speaker 3: big receivers, and they've had fast receivers, but they haven't
Speaker 3: had that combination of so eyes and speed and instinct
Speaker 3: and he appears to have all of that. Does that
Speaker 3: mean he's gonna go out and have eighty receptions in
Speaker 3: twelve hundred yards and nine touchdowns as a rookie.
Speaker 6: No, but he's gonna make plays.
Speaker 4: He is a.
Speaker 3: Combination of all the qualities of a modern receiver, and
Speaker 3: it's exciting to think that they've got a guy like that.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's been first round picks around here where you
Speaker 4: watch him during training camp and you went, this is
Speaker 4: a guy where you go, yeah, And it's a big difference.
Speaker 4: You're not gonna see it quite yet, but there's all
Speaker 4: those traits and it's exciting.
Speaker 3: The last guy first round receiver that had that was
Speaker 3: Justin Blackman, and we all know that career got derailed
Speaker 3: and he didn't last very long in this league, but
Speaker 3: he made you go, whoa, Okay, yeah, he could have
Speaker 3: been special. Yeah, and this guy has the same physical trace.
Speaker 3: He's taller, I think he's a little bit longer. We'll
Speaker 3: find out if he can have the body control that
