1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,960 Speaker 1: The Panthers and the Jaguars coming up. 2 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 2: It is week one in the National Football League kickoff weekend. 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 2: Jen Hale has sideline coverage for the NFL on Fox. 4 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 2: They'll televise the game. Jen, great to speak with you, 5 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 2: and here we go. Finally football is back. 6 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 3: How are you great? JP? 7 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 4: I cannot wait for real football to be back. Cannot 8 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 4: echo you more. 9 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 3: And I think this matchup on Sunday is going to 10 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 3: be really intriguing. So many great storylines. 11 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, and let's get right to it. I mean, it's 12 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: a new era for the Jaguars. 13 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 2: We've heard that a lot over the last ten to 14 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 2: fifteen years, but. 15 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: This is the youngest new era, I believe. 16 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 2: With the Liam Cohen, a young general manager in James Gladstone. 17 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 2: Tony Boselli moves to the front office as well. So 18 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: another new feel around here with some parts on offense 19 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 2: and defense that have been around a few iterations of that. 20 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: Why is this the right move? Liam Cohen, especially at 21 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: head coach. 22 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 4: Lovely and Cohen because of the body of work he 23 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 4: had in Tampa Bay with Baker Mayfield. 24 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 3: Look at what he did for Baker. Baker was a 25 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 3: cast off, has been. 26 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 4: Who ironically had been with the Panthers, a washed up 27 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 4: quarterback that had no future right and he goes down 28 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 4: to Tampa and gets absolutely rejuvenated, and he did so 29 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 4: well in this Limb Cohen system. I love the freedom 30 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 4: Limb gives his quarterbacks and the confidence that they play with. 31 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 4: I can't wait to see exactly how Limb has retooled 32 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence the new dialed up version. 33 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 3: Liam talked about how good quarterback play. It's like a 34 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 3: dance was how he referred to it. 35 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 4: So he's been working on that footwork, the timing, the 36 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 4: body controlled, the eye discipline, the drops. I really think 37 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 4: he's going to make a big difference in Trevor Lawrence's game. 38 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 4: And look, JP, I don't need to tell you, but 39 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 4: this is the season that Trevor Lawrence needs to prove it. 40 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 4: He's gotten a long leash so far, and now it's 41 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 4: time for him to step up and prove that he 42 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 4: was worthy of that number one pick and that he 43 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 4: can be your franchise guy. I think Lin Cohen is 44 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 4: one of a handful of coaches out there that can 45 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 4: get the absolute best out of Trevor Lawrence. It's his 46 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 4: third offense, in five years, So it's certainly a lot 47 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 4: for him to digest in a short amount of time, 48 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 4: but I think it's the right system for him to 49 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 4: succeed in. 50 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's already got his contract extension as well, so 51 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 2: the big money is coming for Trevor Lawrence and the 52 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 2: rubber certainly. 53 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: Has to hit the road. They can say the same 54 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: thing in Carolina. 55 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 2: It's year three for Bryce Young and a good battle 56 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: here of number one overall pick quarterbacks. It felt like 57 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: obviously Young got bench last year, but then came back 58 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 2: in and has now a long stretch of games in 59 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 2: a row with at least a touchdown. It felt like 60 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 2: he played better but well, year two in this system 61 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 2: helped Bryce Young for the Panthers. 62 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 3: It certainly should. 63 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, last year was an up and down experience for him, 64 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 4: a growing time for him. 65 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 3: But look to his credit, that can't be easy being 66 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 3: the number one pick and getting benched, But he took 67 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 3: it and he used it. 68 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 4: To make himself better, to do a true self scout, 69 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 4: not to pout. So to me, that showed a tremendous 70 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 4: amount of maturity, and his teammates certainly think so too, 71 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 4: and that's part of the biggest buy ins that you meet. 72 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 4: You need the team around your quarterback to believe in him, 73 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 4: and we actually my crew had Bryce's game coming back 74 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 4: from the benching, and so many of his teammates talked 75 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 4: about it's just a different guy. The confidence, the way 76 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 4: he carries himself, the way he speaks to others, the 77 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 4: way he's engaged. Now he's moving like a veteran. So 78 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 4: the benching was so good for him from that perspective, 79 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 4: But the stats also tell the story. JP after his 80 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 4: benching almost a sixty two percent completion rate, he was 81 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 4: rushing a ton two hundred and twenty three yards five touchdowns. 82 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 4: So this should be the next step for him now 83 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 4: building off of that, now that he has that new mindset, 84 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 4: now that he's had a full off season with Canal, 85 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 4: let's to really settle in. And look, Carolina's tried to 86 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 4: surround him with some weapons. They took a wide receiver 87 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 4: team MAC in the draft that's supposedly supposed to be 88 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 4: an absolute beast on the field. 89 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 3: You've got Xavier Laget still there. 90 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 4: My question is in that wide receiving corps, they had 91 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 4: some shakeups very last minute. Their wiley veteran Adam Feelin 92 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 4: got traded back to the Minnesota Vikings, and then they 93 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 4: had Jalen Cocher go on IR right around. 94 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 3: The same time, right as the preseason was ending. 95 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 4: So besides t mac and Lagett, do they have the 96 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 4: weapons to get it done for Bryce Young because he 97 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 4: needs to be surrounded by a lot of weapons. They 98 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 4: also have some injury questions on the old line, including 99 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 4: one time then who had to have an deck tomy emergently. 100 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 4: So how does that wide receiving course back up? And 101 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 4: is that O line healthy enough to buy Bryce enough time? 102 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 4: Those are my two big question marks for the Panthers 103 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 4: this Sunday. 104 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: Josh Allen two and a half sacks away from the 105 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 2: France career records, so he's looking at his chops with 106 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 2: that offensive line entry as well. 107 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: Jen Hale with us from the. 108 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 2: NFL on Fox has the sidelines of the Panthers and 109 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 2: the Jaguars. All right, what's the coverage plan for Travis Hunter? 110 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 2: From the Fox TV perspective, we are. 111 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 3: Going to be all over him. 112 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 4: This is the storyline, right, everybody's talking about this nationally, 113 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 4: I think even more so than the storyline of two. 114 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 3: Former number one picks going at it at quarterback. 115 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 4: It's so unusual and so refreshing to see a guy 116 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,799 Speaker 4: like Travis Hunter who doesn't just want to play both ways. 117 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 3: He demanded to play both ways. This is the era of. 118 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 4: Rest of limited snapcount, saving myself to the end, and 119 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 4: here's this rookie. He's tipping that all on its head 120 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 4: and saying, no, give me more, give me more. 121 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: Can he sustain it? Though? 122 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 4: Because the speed of the NFL game, it's so much faster, 123 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 4: it's so much more intense. Of course, very telling that 124 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 4: depth start came out. He's listed as a starting wide 125 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 4: receiver and then as a backup secondary player in the defense. 126 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 4: So obviously he's going to get more snaps offensively than defensively. 127 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 3: How much does he get defensively? 128 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 4: And I'm going to guess it's going to change week 129 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 4: to week based on the matchups. It's really fascinating to 130 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 4: me how they are managing his minutes, not just from 131 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 4: a game perspective, but from a preparation perspective during the week, 132 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 4: because you spend so much time in your respective rooms, 133 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 4: the wide receiver room, the cornerback room, the defensive line room. Right, 134 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 4: how does a rookie who's trying to digest a new 135 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 4: system and a faster way of doing things at that 136 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 4: faster pace. How does he double the workload by doing both? 137 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 4: So I cannot wait. We're going to sit down with 138 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 4: him on Friday and meetings tomorrow, and that's going to 139 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 4: be my first question to him is how have you 140 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 4: divvied up this workload? When you go home at night 141 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 4: from the practice facility? What do you open up first? 142 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 4: Your offensive playbook, your defensive play book. I think it's 143 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 4: going to be a very curious thing how he attacks 144 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 4: this from a preparation standpoint. 145 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: Jin What a way to start your fifteenth year in 146 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: the NFL on Fox right. 147 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 4: Absolutely, it has been JP the most tremendous ride. When 148 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 4: I started, I said, gosh, if I can just make 149 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 4: ten years, if I can make a decade, I will 150 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 4: feel like such a success. And here we are starting 151 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 4: year fifteen with a fantastic matchup, and it's. 152 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 3: A dream come true. You know, I really don't work 153 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 3: a day in my life. 154 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 4: It's what I've always wanted to do and it's a 155 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 4: blessing to get to do this and to do it 156 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 4: with my NFL and Fox grew. We've been together a 157 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 4: long time, Mark Schlare, Chris Meyers, and myself and it's 158 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 4: like family, so it's so much fun. And I've done 159 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 4: a ton of games both in Carolina and in Jacksonville, 160 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 4: so always fun to come back to the places that 161 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,119 Speaker 4: feel a little bit like you're home away from home. 162 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: Great stuff. Thanks for the analysis and we'll talk to 163 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: you on Sunday. 164 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 2: Jen. 165 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 3: Thanks JP. You hope to see on the sidelines.
