WEBVTT - Ep. 63: Analyzing Jaguars' Roster After Free Agency Haul | Jags A.M. Podcast 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:18.600 Welcome into de exam. I'm kind of on a Stephen's 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.520 free agency in the NFL kicking off last Wednesday, and 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:24.079 a whole lot of changes to this Jaguars roster have 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:27.040 come about since that time. Brian Sexton is with me today, 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:29.680 John Osier is off, and Brian, I think the big 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:31.480 thing we need to talk about because at this point 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.199 last week Calvin Ridley was still in the mix, but 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:36.560 he has since signed with the Titans. So our first 0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:39.479 big thing today is zeroed in because Zero is no 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.440 longer on this roster. Calvin Ridley getting a huge guaranteed 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:45.440 deal fifty million guaranteed over ninety two million over four 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:47.880 years as he heads to the Titans. Now, Brian, no 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.479 one's excited when a Jaguar goes to play for the Titans. 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:52.199 But when you saw that contract deal, it kind of 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:52.720 made sense. 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:54.880 Yeah, you didn't want to pay that. 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.480 The Jaguars had him here all year last year, and 0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:59.600 you know it was a contract year for Calvin, and 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:01.840 yet he still struggled to be in the right place 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:03.960 at the right time way too often. 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:04.560 If you watched the. 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.679 Jags last year, you know there were moments where you're thinking, 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.280 what is he doing so. If he's going to get 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.800 fifty million guaranteed dollars to go to a place where 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.080 he might not be in the right place at the 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:17.720 right time with the quarterback who's not that accurate, I 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:18.440 say good luck. 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:19.000 To you, Titans. 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.600 Calvin Ridley's a dynamic talent. We watched him on the 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:25.840 training camp field last year and had huge expectations for 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.080 what he would do, and at times kai I mean, 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.440 we went wow, what he has done, what he did 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:35.360 in his only season in Jacksonville was you know, give 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.280 us a glimpse, give us a taste. 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:38.640 Of what he was capable of. 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.720 And the Titans said, we love him, we'll pay him, 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.240 and the Jaguars said, we'll move on a. 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:45.880 Little bit of what could have been right because if 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:47.920 you look at the situation a little bit differently, maybe 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.440 if Josh Allen's contract gets sorted out a little bit sooner, 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.920 you can franchise tag him, maybe get another year and 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.120 see what that would turn into. But all for not, 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.280 as Calvin is now headed to Tennessee. Our second big 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.920 thing today is a big addition. Because they didn't spend 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.480 that money on wide receiver Calvin Ridley, they were able 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.880 to send it on a big guy, the big addition 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.800 being Eric Armstead and the defensive lineman Brian We've been 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.119 talking for a while about, you know, adding some big 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.160 guys to line Those were big issues for this team 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.280 last year and certainly fills a need both in leadership 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:17.040 and on the field. 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.320 Well, he's big and he's got great wingspan. 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.480 When you watch him play as we are right now, 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:23.359 you see a guy who can make a play even 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.639 when it seems like the play isn't there to be made. 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:27.919 The quarterback sliding out of the pocket, but he can 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.600 reach and pull a guy to the ground. Imagine what 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.040 you can do with a big body like Eric Armstead 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.560 pushing the pocket a We didn't have that last year 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.480 where the pocket was making the quarterback decide to go 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.799 to his left and Josh Allen or to his right 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.120 and Trayvon Walker. So what you've got now is quarterbacks, 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:47.919 if there is not a lot of time to throw 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:49.920 the ball, are going to have to get on the move, 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.800 which should set up the edge guys to make even 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.520 more plays. And the other thing I think is really 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.920 interesting is what you can do with two guys with 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:02.600 great wingspan, both Trayvon Waller and Armstead are tall, have 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.920 great length of shoulder, length of arm and are guys 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:07.959 who can make plays. I think it's gonna be really 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.880 interesting to see how Ryan Nielsen dials up different games 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.079 and stunts with those guys on the same side of 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:13.639 the line. 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:17.000 Absolutely. One final big thing for US today receiver rumor. 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.200 Now there was some talk of fellow forty nine er 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.639 Brandon a Youth possibly getting traded over here, but now 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.720 the focus kind of shifting to the draft. Is a 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.440 wide receiver in the mix for seventeen because this is 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.040 a deep wide receiver draft. Do we think that the 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.720 team is done yet, Brian, or is this something where 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.440 they're going to try to make a trade happen or 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:35.880 are they already focusing on the draft? 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.440 Well, I don't know how you get anything, looks, I 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.080 don't know how you got what you got done last 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:43.040 week with as little cap room as they had, and 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.360 with Josh Allen seeing they were twenty four million dollars 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:45.800 on the cap. 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:47.800 I don't know this, but I would. 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.600 Guess that they can't do anything more really until they 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:52.880 get something done with Josh Allen, and they have until 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.960 July fifteenth, which is when they either have to stick 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:57.360 the tag on him for the rest of the year, 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.640 or get a deal done to get that number down 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.160 and if they want, they can go play there. But 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:06.000 you know, kay, look, the draft is filled with receivers. 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.560 College football now plays the passing game that the NFL does, 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.400 So receivers. I don't want to say they're a dime 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.600 a dozen, but you can find good receivers later in 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.279 the draft. If you have a chance at a Marvin 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:20.880 Harrison junior, a Roma Dunze from Washington, all right, then 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.360 maybe because that looks like a game changer. But where 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.760 the Jaguars sit and where need is for them, we've 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.240 talked about this. They have one offensive tackle under contract 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.760 beyond this season one Cam Robinson and Walker Little's deals 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:34.880 expire at the end of twenty twenty four, so you're 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:36.760 going to want to go and get a young tackle 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:38.520 somewhere in the first two rounds. 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:39.400 They need a corner. 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:44.120 Also, know what they've got will last for now, but 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:48.080 you want a young corner to develop opposite of where 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.600 you're sitting. So I can't imagine that they're going to 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.880 spend a whole lot of time at wide receiver on 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.040 seventeen unless the unthinkable happens and one of those guys 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.680 starts to drop down the board and they say, well, 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:00.880 what a the cost to go up? 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:02.680 But I would say that receiver's going to be done 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:03.560 until the draft. 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:05.719 All about how the board falls. So we still got 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:07.320 a couple of weeks, so as we look forward to 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.040 the draft in April, try to figure things out exactly 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.080 what they're going to do. Stay with us here on Jagsam. 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:13.800 Coming up after the break, we're gonna hear from some 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:33.640 of those new additions from free agency. Freight Move the Freight, 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.400 Move the Freight. Magellan Transport voted the coolest office space 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:40.480 in Jacksonville.

Brian Sexton 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.440 is with me today, John oser Off, I assume on 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.320 a beach somewhere with a cocktail in his hand, at 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:49.960 least I hope. 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:51.839 So for John Stone, I strike you as a beach. 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:55.040 Guy, absolutely, probably a giant I've seen his giant beach 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.920 hats at training camp, so I assume he's a giant 0:05:58.200 --> 0:05:58.880 hat guy on the beach. 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.080 I've never seen him at the beach. I like you 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:02.560 would think the hat would be there if he was. 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:04.599 All right, guys, if you're on a beach somewhere, go 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:06.200 look for Ozone. I think he might be out there. 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.400 He'll be back with us next week. But a lot 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.760 of going on this week. I mean, we've had some 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:13.960 different shows since then, but we haven't had a jags 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.960 Am since all these new additions to the team. Brian, 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:18.440 is there a name that sticks out to you so 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.799 far that is kind of the jewel of the class. 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.560 I feel like everybody kind of fits a need. Obviously 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.120 Armstead is the newest and latest, which is great, but 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.200 all of them kind of fit a need, which is great. Well. 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.240 Trent Balkey, when he sat before the media in late January, 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:34.479 Kai talked about getting more physical up front on both 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.120 sides of the ball, and we assumed obviously that on 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.880 offense that meant changing center right, finding a guy that 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:42.240 you could count on that would help. 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.360 You on third and short, which the Jaguar struggled at. 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.400 So Mitch Moore immediately comes to mind when you watch 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.320 the highlights of him and what he was able to 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.240 do in that Bill's offense, which was more past centric, right, 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.640 I mean, they threw the ball first, but Mitch gets 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.000 out there and moves guys, which we didn't see enough 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.640 of with Luke Fordner last year. You need someone who 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.320 can clearer space, especially on third down and short so 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:04.479 Mitch Moore strikes that. 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.200 But then you bring in Eric Armstead, who he. 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:11.160 Came through here nine years ago on a rookie prospect visit, 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:16.200 and I will never forget how tall and long he. 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:17.320 Was for defensive tackle. 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.880 Right We're all used to Calais Campbell, who plays out 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:21.360 on the end, but this is a guy who's been 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.600 an interior guy. And of course he went on to 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:27.360 great success with the Niners and is not just a 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.920 stud on the field but off the field as a 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:34.000 four time NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.880 from the Niners. So you're bringing in a big guy 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:38.840 who will create a lot of havoc in the middle 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:39.280 of the line. 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:40.560 Makes we hope that he does. 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.600 And I think those two guys are the ones that 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.840 meet the test that Trent set out that day, which 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:48.720 was we have to be more physical. 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.920 I think Armstence specifically, probably one of Trent Balky's better 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.240 draft picks. He was drafted by Trent Balkey in San Francisco. 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.360 That relationship certainly has withstood time because he got him 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.960 to sign here in Jacksonville, and Armstead spoke to us 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.600 yesterday and said a little bit about what he's hoping 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.320 to bring to his new team. 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.000 The Jags were a good team before me, and you know, 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:14.440 whenever I entered the situation, you know, not just football, 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.280 but in life in general, and when I'm meeting people, 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:20.640 when i'm you know, answering situation working with people, you know, 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.400 I want to make the place better than what I founded. 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:27.960 I want to make a positive impact on So I 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.880 think this team was already a phenomenal team, and I 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.560 think I can help get them to the next level. 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.960 So having that opportunity is something I look forward to 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:37.360 as well. 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:39.840 I'm kind of interested to see how he is and 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.920 Roy Robertson Harris play next to each other. He played 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:47.080 at Oregon with the Forest Buckner, who we now know 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.720 obviously is in Indianapolis, but he was drafted by the Niners, 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.679 and so is Buckner, and they played next to each 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.760 other in the same line in San Francisco. You know, 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.200 you've got that size, that height, the length, the ability 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:58.439 to block passes in the middle. 0:08:58.720 --> 0:08:59.600 Well, Roy's that guy. 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:01.880 I mean he's six foot six and he's got the 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:02.920 long arms as well. 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.360 So you put those two guys next to each other 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:05.920 in the middle. 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.439 Longtime Jaguars observers will remember what it was like when 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.440 you had Marcus Stroud at six six and John Henderson 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:14.199 at six seven in the middle of the line. I 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.160 mean it was like having a coke machine next to 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.079 a Pepsi machine, right. I mean you had these two 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.199 big bodies and you had to move around them. 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:21.439 You had to go to the outside. 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:23.800 And now on the outside here you've got Trayvon who's 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.080 tremendous against the run, and Josh Walker, who's playmaker in 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.760 every aspect. But the defensive line took a big step 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.600 forward hitting a guy like Eric Armstead, and I think 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:36.160 if you get Devon Hamilton back to himself, now you've 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.840 got a game change up where you can completely flip 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.840 the script and move things around and create some habit. 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.200 I think one of the first things Armstead said when 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:46.640 he was talking to the media yesterday is he wants 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:48.920 to stop the run, which as we know, got away 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:50.800 from the Jaguars at the end of last season. But 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.080 they have the skill and talent level to be. You know, 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:55.520 at the beginning of the season, we saw they were 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.640 one of the better teams at that So hopefully with 0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.800 that new defensive scheme with Ryan Nielsen and what they 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.520 can work out with these new players, it's going to 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:02.400 be a lot different. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.119 Well, and listen, you know what you've got in Indianapolis 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:07.640 Jonathan Taylor, right, although the Jaguars have done a nice 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:11.199 job on him in recent matchups. And you're grateful that 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.840 Dereck Henry has moved on to Baltimore and you don't 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.160 have to face that runaway train. Although Joe Mixon now 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:21.439 is in Texas and he always gave this franchise problems 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.160 when he was with Cincinnati, so Houston has him, and 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.000 you just better buckle up because it seems every particular 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.880 Sunday afternoon in this division, what is jaj Spears kid 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:32.360 in Tennessee. 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:33.800 You better be able to stop the running. 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.160 This out global quarterbacks as well to also keep an 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.840 eye on so some of our other editions gave Davis 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.480 coming down from Buffalo, he said he was pretty excited 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:44.560 just you know, when he saw some of the team 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.640 names coming in. When he saw that Jacksonville was one 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:48.400 of the teams I called. That was kind of a 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.400 relief for him. 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.400 As soon as I heard Jacksonville, I was like, thank 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:57.560 god they call. I was like, thank god. I wanted 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.480 to come back to Florida. I wanted to be around 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.720 in guys that I knew, you know, coach that I loved, 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.800 and you know, the team's great. See, we can never we. 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.760 Can never beat him, you know what I mean. 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:15.040 So came, uh, came came here, and you know, soon 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.439 as soon as they sent it in, you know, Negoshans 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:18.880 winning and then boom. I was like, yeah, I'm a 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:20.680 Jaguar man. Pretty easy decision. 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:21.320 You know. 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:22.280 You look at him. 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.959 People wanted to compare him to Calvin Ridley. How is 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:30.319 he going to compare, you know, numerically catch his yards, touchdowns. 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:32.480 I would offer to them to look at it a 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.199 different way. Look at it as if he is Marvin 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:39.600 jones replacement two years ago. Marvin Jones, Christian Kirk, Zay Jones, 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:43.880 and Evan Ingram were the basis for which Trevor Lawrence, 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.120 you know, launched into that second half of the season 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.400 and really looked like that franchise quarterback that everybody expects 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:53.640 to see every single Sunday. Gabe is taller, he's got 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:55.920 longer arms. I don't know that he's faster, but he's 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.000 at least as fast as Marvin Jones is. 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.560 And it's been a clutch guy in Ball Tomorrow part 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.840 in Buffalo the last couple of years. So I think 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.040 that it is. I get it. 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:07.840 Calvin Ridley is one of those guys that can put 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.720 up fourteen hundred yards and I don't see that. I mean, 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.400 Gabe's never had a thousand. But if Gabe is a 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:18.760 seventy catch, a nine hundred yard, eight touchdown guy, well 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:22.160 then he's completely productive in this offense because we saw 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.400 Trevor Lawrence comfortable, willing to drop back, hit his back 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.040 foot and find who's ever open, not try to force 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.160 the ball to Calvin Ridley, which honestly, it felt like 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.360 at times last year they were trying to force feed 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.880 and that didn't work. So I think that they go 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.480 back a bit to twenty twenty two where it's simply 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.280 everybody is functioning in the offense. Whoever's opened, that's where 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:41.040 the ball is going. 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:43.120 And that's the best success we've seen so far. With 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.599 Trevor Lawrence obviously not feeling the need he needs to 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.400 go somewhere in particular, but having those options open to 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:50.880 him seems to open up the offense as a well. 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:54.240 And before we say that Gave Davis can't do what 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.720 Calvin did. He had twenty seven touchdowns in four seasons 0:12:57.880 --> 0:12:59.920 and he wasn't the go to guy that was Stefan did. 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:02.880 So you've got a guy that's used to getting the. 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:04.000 Ball in the red zone. 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.160 He had the four touchdown game in the playoffs when 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.080 they played in the AFC Championship game in Kansas City 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:10.920 a few years ago. This is a guy who knows 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.439 how to make big plays and you bring him in now, 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:15.439 it'll be interesting to see how long it takes to 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.880 develop the chemistry with him, between Trevor and him, because 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.440 you know Christian, you knows that you know Evan, but 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:22.960 you get the sense that this is a guy who's 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.120 going to get open and even if he's not, because 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.320 fifty to fifty balls right, it looks like he's got 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:28.920 the size and the length to go take that away. 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:30.680 And we've talked about the team not really having that. 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.280 Right now, you know that big receiver that can go 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.559 up and take the ball from somebody else and that's 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.600 a new you know, talent and skill. 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.360 And an element that you're looking for is that tall receiver. 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:41.040 Absolutely all these players seem to have one thing in common. 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.920 They all come in from winning franchises, winning teams. They 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.800 know what that's going to take to win. Even Ron 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.600 Darby talking a little bit about his previous experience with 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.319 Doug and why that made him want to come and 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:51.679 play on. 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:54.760 This team, I'm miss saying it all day. He is 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.360 straight for a coach, Like that's all of you ask 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.640 for in a coach. You know, he gonna make sure 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:03.079 you work, You're gonna make sure you know things get 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:04.679 done the way and need to get done. He liked 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.720 to wins just as much as the players, and like 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.840 I trusted his schemes and we like he has success 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:10.960 like a great coach. 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:14.800 I have to remember in free agency, obviously these guys 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:16.120 can pick where they want to end up, and I'm 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.680 sure money is a big motivating factor of that, but 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.800 you also want to go somewhere where you're comfortable, you 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:22.920 feel like you're gonna win. There's other intangibles and you 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.400 like your coach, and Doug seems to be winning over 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.520 a lot of people in some of these interviews. 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.000 And the other factor there kai is scheme, right. 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.600 I mean, Ronald Darby is a press corner, and the 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:35.400 Jaguars didn't really have a press corner. Tyson Campbell is 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.720 not necessarily a press corner, so they're gonna have to 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.240 teach him to play that better than he did when 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.600 he was a rookie and they tried to with him. 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.360 Ronald Darby. That is to say, you've got a guy. 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.320 That knows the scheme that's going to come in and 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:50.600 do exactly what Ryan Nielsen wants to get done. He's 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.040 thirty years old, he's a guy who's won. Before you 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.400 mentioned he was with Doug and won a championship. So 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.280 that's why you think, all right, in the first or 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.720 second round, if one of those corners is available, we 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.080 all know the names, you've got to go get yourself 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.760 one of those. So they can learn from Ronald Darby 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.160 how to play the position at the NFL level and 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:09.440 how to play this scheme. 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.360 I'm so excited to see what Ryan Neilson actually does 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:13.880 with all this, because we're getting all these new parts. 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.680 It's looking like a completely different situation. Obviously, we'll have 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.320 to see what that looks like in training camp, but 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.360 it's just gonna be a totally different vibe from the team. 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.040 Yeah, I would imagine that Ryan's having a little trouble sleeping. 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.120 He's so excited about some of these guys. Right when 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.480 you walk in and you've got Josh Allen and Trey 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:29.920 Von Walker twenty seven and a half sacks, the most 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.600 productive one to two tandem in the league last year. 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:34.800 Now you get some strength up front, not just a 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:36.760 little strength, but a big, strong guy. 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:38.200 If they could push. 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.560 The pocket and force guys outside, now you can get 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.600 more production. Quarterbacks are going to be jumping, They're going 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:44.760 to throw the ball up, which means there's more opportunity 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.560 for turnovers and takeaways. We didn't talk about Darnell Savage 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.640 coming in and what that means for the rest of 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:51.760 the guys on the back end. 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:53.400 There there's some versatility. 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:57.280 Now there's some question mark still, right, but there's enough 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:58.400 pieces that he can go out and do what he 0:15:58.440 --> 0:15:58.880 wants to do. 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.400 There's enough and talent there to hold it together. But 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:02.960 then also the young guys are going to get a chance, 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.080 right if it's Antonio Johnson or whoever it might be. 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:06.480 On the back end to kind of see what they're 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.920 going to be able to contribute going forward. Even Andre Cisco, 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:10.520 some of tho people are going to Tyson Campbell, whether 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.240 you're going to want to resign them long term? Is 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:13.600 there big prove of years for them. 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.440 The name that you said that has the most excited 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.160 Antonio Johnson, because we saw him in training camp last 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.520 year and you just you saw a guy who was 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.640 comfortable right just coming out of Texas, a m was 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:25.520 comfortable on the field with what they asked him to do. 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.320 He had the ankle injury and just wasn't healthy. But 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.040 late in the year he was blitzing right, he was 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.360 playing back in coverage. He could do anything you want 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.360 him to do. He's big, he's fast, He's got great length, 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.040 which means that he is a problem for smaller receivers, 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:40.600 and he can step up and play the run. 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:42.520 He's going to be on the field a lot. 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.120 A good young talent for sure.
