P. 0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:12.479 Shadrick provide the latest Jaguars news and what's happening around 0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:17.239 the NFL. Jag begins right now. Well, come on the 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:21.360 Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Radio Network. Preseason week three, 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:24.240 the Jaguars and the Dallas Cowboys coming up Sunday at 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.640 a T and T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and training 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:31.520 camp winding down this week. J P. Shadrick with you, 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:35.800 Jeff Loghman alongside Jaguars analysts, former first round pick of 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.800 the New York Jets, and a free agent signing with 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:42.920 the Jaguars. For all those new to our network, and 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:44.760 there are many of those this year, thank you for 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:47.920 joining us on the network this season. So um hey, 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:52.680 they've named a quarterback Logs. Surprise, surprise, it's Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:54.480 and then it was just a matter of time before 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.680 they made the announcement And totally get what Urban Meyer 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.680 was thinking there. You gotta have player proven. It does 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:03.959 good things for the locker room when players quote unquote 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:08.200 earn a job. And uh and it was the obvious 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:12.440 choice when you watched the body of work from practice 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:16.440 to the preseason games. It was very clear, it wasn't 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:21.520 close that Trevor had all the elements. The only thing 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.360 he's missing is inexperience, and it's gonna take some time. 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.160 But there's make no mistake about it. The way he 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.480 throws the football, the composure that he has in the pocket, 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:36.000 the abilities that he has to raise, the abilities of 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.920 others to execute the offense, these are all in favor 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:43.240 of Trevor Lawrence. Let's hear from urban Meyer after he 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:47.440 settled the quarterback position earlier this week, explaining the timing 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:51.640 of the decision. I did, but you know it is, uh, 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.160 it's a three week preseason as opposed to be four. 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.840 We do have the bye week afterwards, but I think, um, 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.360 as we continue, it's uh a matter of a little 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.520 bit of repetition now. So we wanted him to earn it, 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.120 as we do with every position we felt he has. 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:13.079 After the last nice performance was uh, it was good, 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.160 obviously not great, but we you know, we didn't run 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.000 the ball very well. But but I kind of in 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.840 my mind had that as after the second preseason that 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.680 we kind of have to to get someone ready to 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.079 play in three weeks three weeks away from kick off 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.760 weekend the Jaguars in the Houston Texans in week one. 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:35.280 Trevor Lawrence reacting to the news this week favorably as expected. Yeah, 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.360 that was good man. We talked about our QB room 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.840 and um Man, we just have we have a great group. 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.760 So I'm really excited for the opportunity. It doesn't really 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.079 change anything though, still got the same task in front 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.240 of us. Got to get a lot better um individually, 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.639 as a team, as an offense. So just looking forward 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.560 to going to work this week, you know, bring some 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:56.360 clarity which is nice going forward. But it really doesn't 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.360 change much. But yeah, I'm really excited for the opportunity, 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.520 grateful for it. So Trevor was the starting quarterback for 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.639 the Jaguars Lugs, so that means there's now a battle 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:08.119 for the backup spot. C J. Bethor Gardner Minshew going 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:12.040 at it. Well, it feels like you know, I think 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.480 the big question is how do you how do you 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:19.079 grade them? How does the evaluation and the coach's eyes 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:23.520 and the personnel guys eyes, how do they do it? 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:28.679 Because if you're grading on a different scale, for example, 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.280 let's say you put more emphasis on practice or equal 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.000 emphasis on practices you do games, then you might say 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.880 it's it's maybe a little advantage Gardner Minshew because he's 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:42.600 been pretty good in practice. But if you're pushing more 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.720 of that weighted grade to the performance of the games, 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:49.000 which ultimately that's what it's about, is game day performance, 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.400 then c J. Bethard would have a higher grade right 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.720 now because of the performance in the games. But then 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.960 you also have to grade that to scale because CJ's 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:02.360 played later in the reseason games. Gardner Minshew's played a 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.400 little bit earlier against what you would assume would be 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.080 a little bit higher level of competition. So it's gonna 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.360 be interesting. But I think the play of c J. 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.640 Bethard in the last two preseason games has warranted him 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:18.599 to have an opportunity to compete. And we'll see how 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.840 that plays out. I don't know if if it's gonna 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.560 play out or if that isn't truly in fact something 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:29.400 that is open, but it should be. I mean, competition 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.120 is not over until it's over. But the most important 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:40.160 thing I read a quote from Tom Moore, and like 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.719 Indianapolis Colts, Tom Tom Moore, who is a long time 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:49.360 offensive coach for the Indianapolis Colts under Peyton Manning, and 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.240 he was asked one time, and Ron Drowski put this 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:56.479 in his book. Ron Jorski was, you know, he's NFL analyst, 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.880 former quarterback to Philadelphiagles. For those maybe that don't know, Jaws, Okay, Jaws. 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:07.280 He was asked about, do you practice, you know, practice 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.480 not having Peyton Manning, so do you put the backup 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.440 in because they weren't repping the backup quarterback at that time. 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.480 And Tom Moore was like, look, we're not gonna practice. 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:24.120 Messed up. Okay, he goes, because if we don't have 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:28.760 a team, we're messed up anyway. It's a good point. 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:33.960 That's a really good point with Trevor Lawrence. He gives 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:38.360 you your best chance and he is a future, without 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.320 a doubt, franchise quarterback. Get him the reps. He's gonna 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.960 make those around him better. There are gonna be bumps 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:46.880 in the roads, making no mistake about it, but get 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.640 them the reps. Get them ready because it's gonna get faster, 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:51.600 and it's gonna get a heck of a lot more 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.440 involved for the quarterback position once you get in the 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.320 regular season. He's one weapon short now on offense than 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.279 he was last week. Travis e t N Jr. Is 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.560 out for the year Liz Frank injury and his left 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:07.600 foot surgery, and he's on injured reserve. So it's a 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:11.120 big blow for this Jaguars offense. And what did urban 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.279 Meyer say? A punch to the jaw. And yeah, urban 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:18.320 Meyer this week was explaining the situation with e t 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:22.640 N and maybe what to do next? That was a 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:26.000 shot jaw. That one, Um, there's really coming on in 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.400 practice and we're you know, he saw his big playability 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.880 and prag not in the game yet, Um, tough injury. 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:37.200 How do we fill that? You know, we're still in 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.039 that conversation right now. That was earlier this week, that 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.800 was actually on Wednesday. Yeah, that conversation could last for 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:45.680 a long long time. You can talk about it all 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.240 you want, but it's not going to change the fact 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.240 that you lost a weapon. You know. And and and 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:57.320 here's the difference for urban Meyer at Florida or at 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:02.680 Ohio State. You lose Carl his hide, Ezekiel Elliott is 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:08.479 your next guy. Okay, that's what he had in the 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:13.160 National Football League. That doesn't happen. Okay, there's no Ezekiel 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.200 Elliott who is a freshman that you were just gonna 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.840 kind of keep on the shelf until Carlos Hide graduates 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:24.040 and moves on to the pros. It's different, and that's 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.720 the hardest thing. And that's why you've seen kind of 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:30.679 this evolution of the preseason UH in the National Football 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.040 League over the last number of years, and why coaches 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.920 have become hesitant to play some guys in the preseason 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:40.040 because they know if you lose a guy, you lose 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.640 a guy. And it's not like you can just say, hey, 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:44.560 we got this freshman and we're gonna just put him 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.320 right in and we'll be okay. It doesn't work that way. 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.720 So it's a shame. It's a it's a tough injury. 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.560 Any kind of a foot injury for an athlete is 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.760 always concerning because that's the one area you can't protect. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.920 You know, like if you heard a hand okay, you 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:04.120 for example, d J. Chart, you know, yeah, right, had 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:11.960 surgery or whatever. Yeah, what was he doing today running around? 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:14.640 Yeah he's not catching any balls or anything like that, 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.440 but he's running around and he's doing things while staying 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.080 in shape. This is healing, Okay, when you have a foot, 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.280 that's not what it's about. I mean, you can't go 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:28.840 and and practice anything football because pretty much everything football 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:33.000 is involving your foot. So that's a shame. I understand 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.160 he's gonna have surgery, or the reports are that he's 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:39.640 gonna have surgery. Hopefully that will ensure the healium process. 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:43.560 When I say ensure, make it completely healed, and speed 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.320 up that timetable a little bit. And obviously there's plenty 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.400 of time for him to now heal and there's no 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:51.440 reason to push it. But you hope that that makes 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:56.880 it recovery percentage wise, because this was gonna be an 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.920 absolute dynamic threat for this football team, a player that 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.280 you would hold your breath on every time he touched 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.600 the ball in space. In fact, when I was talking 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.040 to Urban Meyer for the pregame interview last week, that's 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:08.720 one of the things I brought up. So you excited 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:10.839 to see Travis c t n finally get the ball 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:12.800 in space. And when I asked him the original question, 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.680 he was like and it was like, like, yes, you know, 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:17.760 we had we had that one in the first preseason 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.640 game against Cleveland that sailed over his head and we 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:22.679 didn't have it happen, but you could tell that he 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:26.199 wanted to see that. Putting more on this coming up, 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.240 and maybe some options for the Jaguars to not fill 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:32.839 the role that's nearly impossible, but some things they could 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.880 do otherwise. A little bit later from Bucky Brooks. A 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.880 little later, also Jeff Darlington of ESPN on Trevor Lawrence's 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:42.000 interview before the Monday night football game.

So it's just 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:32.319 a filling out process right now. I it it's a 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.520 huge difference from now to the regular season. I mean, 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.960 wade a huge difference, you know. So, I mean, uh, 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:40.600 we should think got some work to do, but at 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.400 the end of the day, you know, we're still trying 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.560 to just fitting those missing pieces right now. And um, 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:48.600 you know, preseason is a perfect time to do that. 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:54.560 Rayshawn Jenkins, Jaguars safety earlier this week, actually after the game, 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.760 on Money and Football and welcome back. It's Jaguars happy. 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.920 I don't know. Jaguars Radio Network JP Adrick Jeff Flog, 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.160 I been glad you're along with us. As the Jaguars 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.480 prepared for preseason Week three of the Dallas Cowboys, await 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:10.240 Sunday at a T and T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.960 At one more offensive note before we dig into the defense, 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.080 he logs it, we didn't really get to today yet. 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.240 Tavon Austin went down today. There's no official word from 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:22.240 the Jaguars yet on that one. But I made a 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.439 catch on the field today it was an open practice 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.400 to the media, and then was off on the side 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:30.080 on another field. The athletic training staff came over. They 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.400 were working on his leg and then Eran Meyer came over, 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.440 gave him a big hug, patted him on the head. 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.640 They had a conversation. Uh, no word yet on Tabon Austin. 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:40.680 That was one of the names that had kind of 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:44.480 popped up after Travis et n Hey, maybe Tavan can 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:46.320 do some of this stuff. He won't do all of 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.880 this stuff. But you know, now we'll see we're waiting 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.880 to see what happens with Austin here. Well, it doesn't 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.160 help if you work, you know, as a team, if 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.400 you were considering using a Tavon Austin to replace some 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.800 of the role that Travis Etn was and fulfilled, but 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:04.400 I don't see that happening because E. T N is 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.560 a talent that you were thinking it could be a 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:11.480 game breaker type of player. Is Tavon Austin that? I mean, 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:15.600 he's bounced around, but like four teams, five teams recently 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.920 the Cowboys for a bit, uh, with Green Bay Packers 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:22.720 a little bit last year and you wouldn't even have 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.520 known that because he didn't play and that was a 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.960 team that went pretty far into the playoffs. He ended 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.760 up I think on injury reserve with them. So uh, 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:35.600 that's the hard part of injuries. If if sometimes you 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.640 have players that rise up that you know you just 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.600 didn't know about, but then all of a sudden when 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:43.320 they get the opportunity, you're excited about it. But that's 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:45.000 that's not I mean, do you look at your running 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:46.680 back room. There's nobody in the running back room that 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:50.800 can do that nobody. It's just the way it is. 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.840 Can somebody at the wide receiver position do that? I mean, 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.280 you gotta go, you gotta you got three former for 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.880 you have. Chant is not a burner. Chanal is never 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.440 when he gets the hands on the ball, he's physical. 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.360 He's not gonna run away from people and be a 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.800 home run. That's just not his style of play. He's 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:13.720 a bruiser. He's a big, bumping bruiser that can overpower guys. 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.160 But he can't run away from people. That's not what 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:19.600 he does. Everybody's got a niche. That's not his niche 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.920 because he can. Philip Dorset, I mean remember going all 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:24.600 the way back when they signed and they talked about 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:28.040 how fast and how how much speedy. Has Treadwell another 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.760 former first round pick like Tavon Austin. I mean, all 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:34.040 these guys had had first round picked graves on them 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.560 and they were selected in the first round. But they've 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:40.520 bounced around. They've bounced around for a reason. When Treadwell 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.680 first started camp, right, pretty good, right, Yeah, he's been 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:46.840 okay in the practice field, looks pretty good, making some 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.480 catch up in the last week and a half. What 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.840 are you seeing? They haven't seen that, Yeah, I'd say 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.000 that it's my thing. I mean that, you know, there's 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.200 a consistency and a level that you have to reach 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.280 to be one of those players that you just go, yeah, 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.960 this is gonna be a guy that makes a difference. 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:10.359 Can Laviska make a difference? Yes? Can seventeen make a difference? Dark? Absolutely? 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:16.880 Can thirty make a difference? Absolutely? But knowing those guys 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.040 had the elite speed where they get in space, they 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:21.840 can go. I mean, how many touchdowns a D E 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.800 T M score? Clemson the most ever in the A 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:26.360 C C. Right, it was like, oh, I mean, I 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:30.960 don't want the exact numbers, but it's ridiculous. Amow. So 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.840 that's a tough loss. Let's go to defense now, and 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.680 you know, what is your comfort level with what you've 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.160 seen so far? On the defensive side of the ball. 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.520 The starters are out there a little longer last week. 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.960 Josh Allen is not available, he's on the reserve COVID 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:50.000 nineteen lists. Other than that, pretty much everybody's out there 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.720 and contributing in the preseason. Where are you on the 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.520 defense lives? First of all, I like it because I 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.080 think they're gonna be really good. At the fundamentals of 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.080 stopping to run, which you gotta you gotta start with 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:01.840 that if you if you're not doing that, you don't 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:03.840 have a chance. Last year, the defense couldn't do that, 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:05.919 and it was one of the reasons why they were 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:08.919 one of the worst defenses in the league. Now, with 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:12.480 the front three guys of royd Robinson, Harris Devon Hamilton 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.160 and Malcolm Brown, those three guys are stout and they 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:20.000 can they can push offensive lines back. Miles Jack and 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:24.080 Damian Wilson are gonna be too physical linebackers. Hope they 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.080 stay healthy because you don't have a whole lot of 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:30.040 depth behind them, like the way they're playing your outside positions. 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.280 Outside back of position, you're gonna have multitude of guys 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.359 that are gonna be playing in there. You hope that 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.919 Josh Allen can raise his level of play up in 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.359 the three four defense and find a level of performance 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:44.080 that he hasn't even seen yet. Can he be a 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:46.520 double double digit sack guy? I don't know now he 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:47.879 was a couple of years ago, but you know what, 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.480 j P there was a lot of guys around him 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:54.440 that helped him. Get a lot of guys, so can 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.560 Caleb and Chasan get better. I think those are all 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.000 things that are left un answered. Can Smooth help him? 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:03.160 I think smooths a good football player, plays hard. Can 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:04.800 give him a lot of different reps and a lot 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:08.240 of different places. You can play outside back or defensive end. 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.600 He can rush from three technique. Is that where he's 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.520 gonna make Hay all the time? Probably not, but he 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:16.440 can do it. So, and that's the nice thing about 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.080 this defense. You have a lot of guys that can 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.000 fill a lot of different roles. So when this team 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:24.399 lines up, I think there will be a little bit 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:29.880 of an element of confusion. Okay, what are they gonna run? Well, here, 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.040 they got him and him and him. But wait a minute, 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.520 they lined up in a for three wave and three four? 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:37.560 What is this? You know? So that's kind of what 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.440 they're gonna be able to do because Smooth can play 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:43.440 multiple positions. Devon Hampleton and play knows he can play 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.960 defensive end, he can play defensive tackle. That they mean 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.840 there's guys that can do different things. Jahad War a 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:52.280 guy that can play three technique, defensive vent, outside linebacker. 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.760 I mean that's good. I mean you can maybe some 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.640 prize some teams a little bit and make it harder 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.159 on them from a blocking stay in points. So I 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:05.280 like that. The one thing though, that has shown that 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:06.840 you want to try to figure out a way to 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.480 get better. You gotta make some impact plays to get 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:14.000 off the field. And impact plays are pressuring the quarterback, Sacks, 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:18.240 cause fumbles. These are big plays that set an offense back, 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:20.919 you know, because you always talk here about coaches on 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.760 offense talking about we need to stay on pace. We 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:25.720 need to make sure we don't get behind the down 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.880 and distance. In other words, avoid the second and fifteens, 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:32.000 the second and twelves, you know, lost artist plays. Those 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:35.120 are all good plays, game changing place for a defense, 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:37.400 and you gotta find a way to make some more 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:39.320 of them as a defense. And I think that's gonna 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:43.399 be the challenge for this defense until you can get maybe, uh, 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:47.400 you know, one more dominant corner presence and also a 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:51.439 dominant presence on the interior to pass rush. Let's get 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:55.320 our weekly update on the strong safety battle lugs. They're 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.359 code for code number ones on the depth chart again 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.880 this week. Josh Jones, Jared Wilson, Rudy Ford, Andre Cisco. 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:05.080 Where do you stand now? Preseason Week three. First of all, 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:07.480 Rudy Ford made the tackle on the opening kickoff, and 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.560 that's exactly what they brought him here to do, was 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.159 to first of all lead the way on special teams. 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:15.560 I think if he has to play safety, I think 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:19.000 he'll give you a solid player. And also they played 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:22.840 him at a linebacking position when they went to nickel, 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:28.040 but it was more of a dime one and so uh, 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:31.240 that was cool to see. And that was his first 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:34.679 game action, So what what they designed him to do, 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.560 he did exactly that. That was good to see. He 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:40.040 he was my person to watch in the pregame show, 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:43.719 which which was very nice. My person to watch, unfortunately 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:46.720 was Travis e. T n Well, we watched him unfortunately, 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:49.960 but it wasn't long. But the safety position, I'm serious 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:55.160 when I say this. If you wanted to start Rudy Ford, Okay, 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:58.399 you want to start Jared Wilson, Okay, you want to 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:01.639 start Andre Cisco, Okay, I'm good with you want to 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:06.399 start Daniel Thomas. I think they've got good safety depth. Now. 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:11.159 I think that Josh Jones has some limitations, but I 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:13.959 still think he's a SAT He's an NFL caliber player. 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:18.159 So this is gonna be, in my opinion, this is 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:21.240 gonna be where other teams in the league are really 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:25.120 focusing in on to watch this team, which will make this, 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:28.760 in my opinion, the most interesting position that they have 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:30.880 to cut because there are some good players in there. 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:33.240 I'm not saying there's greatness in there. Maybe there is 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.359 with a Cisco, but it's too early to tell. But 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:39.280 there's some really good players in there. Let's come back 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:42.000 in a moment. The final opportunity for guys to make 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:45.840 a roster this week, the final cut coming up this 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:49.400 coming Tuesday, down to fifty three Jaguars Game Day broadcaster 0:21:49.600 --> 0:21:52.320 presented by Vice Star Credit Union, and this is Jaguars 0:21:52.320 --> 0:22:03.800 Happy Hour on Jaguars Radio. We paid how much for 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:08.159 those lessons? She's doing great? Oh yeah, totally. Can you 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:16.280 pass me a pepsi zero sugar? Great job, honey, Oh 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:19.080 look at that. That's not the end, no way. Now 0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:21.479 it's time for the encore. You know what, You're right? 0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:24.919 Five times not enough times for everyone who traded in 0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:29.040 rock concerts for their kids recitals. You've compromised enough. Pepsi 0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:33.399
