1
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to JAG's AM. Training camp continues a scrimmage scheduled

2
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: for today. We're in studio here for you on JAGSAM

3
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,159
Speaker 1: as we get ready for the second preseason game on

4
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Saints, but still a couple more days

5
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: of practice before we get to that. Welcome into studio

6
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: here the hun Day Studios. I'm Tan Nannie Stevens. John

7
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: Oser is with me. We also have a special guest

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: host I'll introduce in a minute, but let's start out

9
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: with our Big Things presented by g e H A

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 1: Government Employees Health Association. Big Thing Number one is the scrimmage.

11
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: I mentioned this is going to be the second scrimmage

12
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: we've seen during training camp, a little bit different. They're

13
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: treating it like an actual game and going to get

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: some advice from our guest host today, David Garard, former

15
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: Jaguars quarterback. David, Welcome to the show.

16
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: And it's a little bit unusual.

17
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: What else of these scrimmages like this, We don't see

18
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: them very often. Did you experience that all when you played?

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: And and how does that help with quarterback?

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: Yeah?

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 3: I think, uh, they're probably having multiple scrimmages because you're

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 3: just lacking so many preseason games like you used to

23
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: do back in the day. So this is opportunity to

24
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 3: see your starters in situations that you can actually put

25
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: 'em in and see how they perform, but also get

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 3: some of the young guys in situations because you start

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: to lose the opportunity to get them in preseason games

28
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 3: to get meaningful snaps. So uh, I think it's a

29
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 3: great thing, and I'm sure more teams are gonna be

30
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: doing us around the league.

31
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, David, and I think the second factor

32
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 4: in this, uh, they would have liked, I think to

33
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 4: have had two joint practices, meaning they have one against

34
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 4: the Dolphins. I think they would have liked In the future,

35
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 4: we'll try to get another, uh cause I know Liam

36
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: Cohen likes that.

37
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

38
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 4: This is a way I think to sort of simulate

39
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 4: a little more game action, get a little more of

40
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 4: that intensity maybe you'd have gotten from a joint practice.

41
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: Uh.

42
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 4: But it's interesting, I I I'm not sure I've ever

43
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 4: been around a team that's had two real scrimmages during

44
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 4: uh the tra uh during the preseason.

45
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 5: Uh.

46
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 4: So I'm wondering if if that's a trend going forward.

47
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 4: I think, as David said, it might be with with

48
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 4: the three preseason.

49
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: Games, our second big thing today is gonna be second look.

50
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: We talked a little bit about what we saw from

51
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: the starters in that first game earlier this week, but

52
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: it was only for one drive on offense and and

53
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: one and a half for some of the defensive players. John,

54
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: what are we looking forward to in this second look?

55
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: Obviously this might be the last time we see the starters,

56
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: cause there's only three preseason games. What do you kind

57
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: of have your eye out for in the second look

58
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: in the second preseason game.

59
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 4: Yep, It's so hard to know because usually you judge

60
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: how you're gonna see preseason based on what the coach

61
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 4: is underfore, and this is Leam's first time through this.

62
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 4: I would think this might be the last look. Because

63
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 4: you had a joint practice next week against Miami.

64
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: A lot of.

65
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 4: Coaches pull the starters out of that because they feel

66
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 4: like they've gotten the work in that in that pre

67
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 4: a in that uh joint practice. So you would assume that,

68
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 4: and then you would assume maybe a couple of series

69
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 4: to try to get a feel for these guys that

70
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 4: you couldn't they got to play more than.

71
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: One because you have to have a little bit of

72
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 2: an adjustment.

73
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 4: So maybe three series. I doubt through halftime. That doesn't

74
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 4: feel right to me, but we'll see, David. You just

75
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 4: don't know at this point.

76
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm a fan now, so I want

77
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 3: to see my starters. I want to see them go

78
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 3: out and operate. I think it's a good thing for

79
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: them to go out and have multiple preseason games that

80
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: they play in. And I'm starting to see a trend

81
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: where more teams are starting to play more of their starters.

82
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,839
Speaker 3: I mean, Joe Burrow played in the first preseason game.

83
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: You didn't see that kind of thing the last you know,

84
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 3: five years, honestly, So I like it. I think guys

85
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: need more opportunity to get the season started. You've already

86
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: eliminated one preseason game, So get your starters out there

87
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: for at least two quarters. Maybe never go into the

88
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: third quarter just because you feel like you've kept everybody

89
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 3: healthy and you can finish in the first quarter. But

90
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 3: give them some time to play together so that they

91
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: can start the season fast and strong and not come

92
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 3: limping into the season like they have the last few seasons.

93
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: Our final big thing today is going to be happy campers.

94
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: Is about two weeks left at this point until they

95
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: cut the roster down and things kind of wrap up

96
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: for training camp. David, I know things were different when

97
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: you played. Obviously had two days, so it was a

98
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: little bit different for a training camp. But where's what's

99
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: the perspective of a player at this point. Obviously it's

100
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: a long training camp, dog days at this point, where

101
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: what are the player's mindset at this point?

102
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, being that old guy, I am a little jealous

103
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: that there's only one practice and I think there might

104
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 3: be a second practice that's another practice, just a walk through.

105
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 5: But you know, their.

106
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 3: Mindset is they're excited that camp is finally breaking. If

107
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 3: it is truly like a camp where they're in a

108
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: hotel and locked over there and they can't see their family,

109
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 3: you know, guys would always, you know, three or four

110
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: weeks in start getting excited to be able to get

111
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: back to their kids and their wives and those kind

112
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: of things, just to break up the monotony of camp.

113
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 3: But this one that they're doing now, I mean I

114
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: feel like they kind of can stay in it for

115
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: a little bit and uh continue to work on meshing

116
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: as a unit, meshing as a team. But usually their

117
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: their mindset is, you know, we made it through another one,

118
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: and now we've got to see who's sticking to the

119
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: roster and who's not.

120
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 5: And you know that's never a fun time. Uh, but

121
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 5: it's a it's a necessary time. Yeah.

122
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 4: I think the next couple of weeks or realistically for

123
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: this team more about trying to mesh, more about trying

124
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 4: to get ready. Liam Cohen on that I think it

125
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 4: was Monday, talked about you know, they probably know their

126
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 4: first fifty to fifty one guys right now. Uh, and

127
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 4: then they're trying to figure out he's gonna be on

128
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 4: the practice squad, what those last uh couple of roster

129
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 4: spots that you sort of play with are gonna look like.

130
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 4: But we saw in the scrimmage, Uh, this team still

131
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 4: needs to mesh under new head coach, new offensive coordinator,

132
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 4: new defensive coordinator, new GM.

133
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: Uh.

134
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 4: There's still some camaraderie and some chemistry uh to be gained.

135
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: So it feels like that's what this is.

136
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 4: And uh, two more weeks of I guess it's the

137
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 4: dog days.

138
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: I guess there's dog days still in training camp.

139
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 5: I don't know about that.

140
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, no more dog days. It's two pushack.

141
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, stick with us. We're gonna talk to

142
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: David gard a little bit about that first season game

143
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: and also preview the Staints matchup this weekend. Welcome back

00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: Welcome back in.

148
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: We've got David Gerard with us today, so we're gonna

149
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 1: pick your brain a little bit as we talk about

150
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: that first preseason game, also kind of the experience of

151
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: training camp a little bit. So when we look at this,

152
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: a lot of new faces around here in Jacksonville, but

153
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: one of the familiar ones is Trevor Lawrence entering his

154
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: fifth season, but a lot of change for him, right,

155
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: three different coaching staffs, three different offensive systems. I'm sure

156
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: you're familiar with a lot of change in terms of systems.

157
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: So how difficult is that as a quarterback to pick

158
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 1: up a new system?

159
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 3: It can be pretty difficult because every system can be

160
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: totally different.

161
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 5: You can be speaking Spanish one day and then.

162
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 3: All of sudden you're speaking English or Chinese, like it's

163
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: just a totally different language, and you really have to

164
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 3: put in a ton of work. Like at home, he's married,

165
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: so he's got a wife that can sit there and

166
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 3: call plays to him so he can repeat it back towards.

167
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: These are things that me and my wife did many times.

168
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: And you have to because you're trying to get yourself

169
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: familiar with the verbiage so that when you're in the huddle,

170
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 3: the guys know exactly that you have it one hundred

171
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 3: percent down. Now they can struggle a little bit with

172
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 3: what's being said, but the quarterback can.

173
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 5: So it's it's very important for you to.

174
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 3: Know that language that you're speaking and be able to

175
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: enunciate it and get it to the guys clearly.

176
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 2: And David, how important you know?

177
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 4: I assume there's learning the system and then there's applying

178
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 4: the system once the pads go on and once you

179
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 4: know the bullets fly or however you want to call it.

180
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 4: Is is it different in a new system once it

181
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 4: gets real and you've really got to use what you've learned.

182
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: Is there a process that Trevor's going through right now.

183
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's really trying to figure out the best

184
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: way that when he hears the call that he is

185
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: going to be able to go out and produce as

186
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: easily and functional for him as possible, because if he's

187
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: not on, then it's hard to get anybody else on

188
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 3: because he's the one that's got to.

189
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 5: You know, get the ball to everybody.

190
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 3: So you want to make sure as a quarterback that

191
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 3: you are prepared and that you're ready to go, but

192
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: not just mentally, but also physically, and also making sure

193
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 3: your teammates are ready to go. So if he has

194
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 3: to have meetings where he calls in the whole offense

195
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: or just the receivers, or maybe the running backs are

196
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 3: struggling with something, he's got to make sure, you know,

197
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: coming from a coach, that he's also being a coach

198
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: and going and sometimes he'll stop in the running backs

199
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 3: room see what they're going over so that he can

200
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: tell them, oh, this is what I'm thinking on this,

201
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 3: what are you thinking on this? And he'll go into

202
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 3: every room and do that because you have to. You

203
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 3: have to make sure the old line is on the

204
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: same page, receivers, running backs, tight ends, all of them.

205
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 5: And then you go sit in with the coaches.

206
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: So you're another coach out there on the field and

207
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 3: when you're in the locker room, in the meeting rooms.

208
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 2: Running back room is one we've been focusing on.

209
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot of some new faces, some old faces,

210
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: a lot of competition in that group. Liam Collen has

211
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: said his focus is really establishing the run and taking

212
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: some of that pressure off Trevor. Obviously you've played with

213
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: some good running backs yourself. How much does that help

214
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: you when you kind of know what you're getting from

215
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: those guys, so you can kind of expect something from

216
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: them and take a little bit of pressure off yourself.

217
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

218
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 3: I love the running back room because you have so

219
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 3: many different dynamic running backs. You got Etn who can

220
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: he can rush, he can also catch very well, and

221
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 3: he's real fluid and smooth when he's on the field.

222
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 5: Tank Bigsby type back that is.

223
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 3: More bruising downhill but also still has the speed to

224
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 3: take off. Touton who just has the speed and cannot

225
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: run anybody, and every coach will tell you speed kills.

226
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 3: So anytime you can get those kind of guys on

227
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: the field, and even Allen the other bigger back, is

228
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: huge because you want to make sure your quarterback has

229
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 3: somebody that he can rely on I can just turn around,

230
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 3: hand this ball to you and know that you can

231
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 3: take it forty to.

232
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 5: Fifty yards and take some of that pressure off me.

233
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 5: Just look at the Philadelphia Eagles with Sakoon Barkley.

234
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 3: I mean, when you can have a back that can

235
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 3: take some of the stress off of the offense, off

236
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 3: of the quarterback and they can go put the ball

237
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: in the end zone, it's huge.

238
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 5: So we definitely need this group to perform well this year.

239
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 4: Something I've talked a lot about this week data the

240
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 4: other night when two scored in the second half and

241
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 4: the team sort of carried.

242
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 2: Him into the end zone. If you well, it wasn't

243
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 2: quite like that the offensive line pushed him in.

244
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 4: You know, I may be making too much out of it,

245
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 4: but it really seemed the reaction afterward. As much as

246
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 4: Liam Cohen has talked about the running game, it seemed

247
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 4: very symbolic and it seemed like a sign that this

248
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 4: team was buying into.

249
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: That whole idea We've got to be more physical. Anything

250
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: to that. Did you like seeing that? And can a

251
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 2: team sort of embrace that sort of thing this early?

252
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 5: Yeah?

253
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 3: Absolutely, That's what training campus for is to build those

254
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: that camaraderie, to build guys that are trying to work together,

255
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 3: that are trying to you know, pull and push in

256
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: the same direction.

257
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 5: And so that's what you want. That's what you need.

258
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 3: Just like when our kicker hit that seventy yarder. Yeah,

259
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 3: I mean you see Travis Hunter, first guy out there

260
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 3: to go give him a big chess ball.

261
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 5: I mean those he.

262
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 2: Almost jumped ashigh as you did. He jumped way higher than.

263
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 5: So, but that's what you want.

264
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 3: Those are the things that's the galvanizing All those things happen.

265
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 3: Now when you see the Chiefs and all these other

266
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 3: teams in the Super Bowl, it's because of these moments

267
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: in training camp, them figuring it all out and everybody

268
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 3: buying in to being on the same page to move

269
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: in the same direction. That's what's gotta happen. And anytime

270
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 3: you can get those moments, you know, doesn't matter who

271
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 3: it is. Guys don't care who it is. I mean

272
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: I wasn't the starter my whole time when I played,

273
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 3: but when I got out there, guys.

274
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 5: Were pulling for me to go out there and perform.

275
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 3: So whoever's out there, as long as you're putting the

276
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 3: ball in the end zone, you're making plays. You're the

277
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: guy that is that's got the energy, that juice that

278
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: guys want to go out there and rally behind and

279
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 3: play for They'll do it, doesn't matter who you are.

280
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: I didn't want to touch on the offensive line room.

281
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: This feels like the first season we've had in a

282
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: while where there's a ton of competition in that group.

283
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: What as a quarterback, is it just time on task

284
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: to get that trust with your offensive line? What does

285
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: it take to get to that?

286
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is, it's it's that, but it's really just

287
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 3: believing in them, knowing that they can get the job done,

288
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 3: because you know, when you're playing quarterback, you can't think

289
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 3: about what they're doing.

290
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 5: You're thinking about how not.

291
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 3: To get hit and protect yourself and all that kind

292
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 3: of stuff. But once the ball is snapped, it's on

293
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 3: them to do their job, and you want to make

294
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 3: sure that you have the best five the coaches have

295
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 3: figured out who's the best out there, especially for my

296
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: left tackle, because I can't see what's going on back there,

297
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 3: so I need to make sure that you've got it

298
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 3: down and coaches understand, like if somebody's struggling in that area,

299
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 3: if it is a little that's struggling or whatever it is,

300
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 3: they'll help him. They'll protect him, they'll put the tight

301
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 3: end to his side more, they'll slide the line to

302
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 3: his side. So there's ways to help. Because sometimes when

303
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 3: you get a rookie that comes in, you want to

304
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 3: make sure that you're just not leaving them on an island.

305
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: So there's ways to help, especially tackles, but you want

306
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 3: to make sure you have the five and then they

307
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 3: play together as much in as long as possible, because

308
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 3: there are times when a call isn't gonna be made,

309
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 3: but you need to make sure or that person needs

310
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 3: to know this is what I'm supposed to be doing

311
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 3: in this situation.

312
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 5: Even though nobody said it.

313
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm ready for it, and that you just gotta

314
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,000

324
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: underway in training camp today. But we're gonna talk a

325
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: little bit quickly about that second preseason matchup that's coming

326
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: up this weekend. Normally Daguars play Friday, Saturday or something

327
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: like that. They're gonna playing Sunday at one. It's gonna

328
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: be like a real deal, as we had to New

329
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: Orleans this weekend and taking on a franchise that's in

330
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: a similar spot in terms of new coaching staff. We

331
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: don't have a new quarterback, but they'll have a new

332
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: quarterback as well, So lots of change going on for them.

333
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: But Kellen Moore, who was the offensive coordinator with the

334
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion of Philadelphia Eagles, They're obviously gonna be

335
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: tried to be offensively focused, as many teams are in

336
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five NFL. But I feel like there's

337
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: at least here there's an excitement to see what the

338
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: team will actually look like. Right So, I'm assuming New

339
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: Orleans is in a similar situation where John they don't

340
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: necessarily know their identity yet, but this is when they're finally,

341
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: for the first time kind of seeing how this team

342
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: will be built going forward.

343
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, they finally had to hit reset. I mean, I

344
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 4: mean they were franchised for years with Breeze. They kept

345
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 4: playing it out, playing it out, sort of mortgaging the future.

346
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 4: As you say, they even because of their salary cap.

347
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 4: And I'm looking at it from a distance, but because

348
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 4: their salary cap, they sort of had to he sort

349
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 4: of patchworking it for a while, and then this year

350
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 4: they finally said, Okay, we.

351
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: Have to make a change and move this thing forward.

352
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: It feels like rebuilding there with the first year quarterback in.

353
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 4: Preseason David, realistically, you're looking more at the team you're covering.

354
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: So I'm fascinated really to see what we.

355
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 4: Talked about earlier, how the Jaguars will play starters, how

356
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 4: they will approach this. Do they have this feel like

357
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 4: their preseason warm up, meaning you know, there's always a

358
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 4: dress rehearsal game for you guys, it was always Week

359
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 4: three because you wanted to not play in Week four.

360
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 4: I'm curious to see how much this is a dress

361
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 4: rehearsal for.

362
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 5: The Jaguars.

363
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: When we're looking at We talked a little bit about

364
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: Tyler Shuck, who's actually one week older than Trevor Lawrence,

365
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: which will be interesting considering the new college landscape.

366
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: Rookie, that's what I mean.

367
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: He's a rookie.

368
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: He's coming in.

369
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: Trevor's into year five, Shuck is into year one. When

370
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: you're coming in a little bit older, is it?

371
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 5: I mean?

372
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: I guess we'll find out on Sunday. But what's the

373
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: learning curve? How was it for you coming in and

374
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: kind of trying to learn that NFL offense? Did you

375
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: feel prepared for it when you came in?

376
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 5: Yeah? So when I came in, once again, it was

377
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 5: old school. We're always gonna be saying old school when

378
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 5: people were talking about me, but it was a more

379
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 5: old school kind of way.

380
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 3: You played at least four years of college football, and

381
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 3: if you red shirted like I did, it was five

382
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 3: years of college football because they wanted to have a

383
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 3: more veteran guy coming into the league and not a

384
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 3: young pup that they would have to kind of learn

385
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 3: and figure out how to play NFL ball and all

386
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. But the way that the college

387
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 3: game is and the way that the NFL game is,

388
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 3: they're kind of getting closer and closer together.

389
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 5: I mean, you can see in the pros everybody's.

390
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 3: In shotgun all the time already now so and in

391
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 3: college they don't even know how to go under center.

392
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 5: So it's it. That's just how the game is, and

393
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 5: I'm okay with it.

394
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 3: I used to be the grumpy old guy that would say,

395
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 3: you know, get under center, and what are we doing here?

396
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 3: We're teaching these college guys, you know, bad habits and

397
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 3: all this kind of stuff. But as long as the

398
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 3: game is fun, they're putting points up, quarterbacks are making plays.

399
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 3: When I was coming out, you did not talk the

400
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 3: same way that these uh NFL teams are talking with

401
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 3: their language and that kind of stuff. There might be

402
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 3: some similarities here and there, but are hundred plays compared

403
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 3: to their three hundred and fifty plays.

404
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 5: It's a big difference. You're like, how can you add

405
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 5: that many more plays? But you can't? Uh, and they did.

406
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 3: So it is interesting. It is pretty cool. But I

407
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 3: think with Schuck he's gonna be that kind of older,

408
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: young vet rookie guy that can come in and hopefully

409
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 3: handle things a little better. Than say a twenty one

410
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 3: year old. But you know, it's always what are you

411
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 3: doing on the field, That's what it always comes down to.

412
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 3: We can talk about it all right now in the preseason.

413
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 3: You can look great in the preseason, but when real

414
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,239
Speaker 3: bullet start flying in Week one, that's when we're going

415
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 3: to get a true idea of how good these guys are.

416
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like he's gonna get to start right away,

417
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: so we'll get a look at that on Sunday. Say

418
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: it with here, we'll tell you what's coming up the

419

Speaker 1: I'm going to talk a little bit about cut day,

425
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: which is I think ten days away at this point eleven.

426
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not coming Tuesday, the next Tuesday. Liam Cohen

427
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: talked earlier this week and he said in his mind

428
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: he's got fifty of the fifty three kind of figured out.

429
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: So David, just want to use your experience a little

430
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: bit at this edge of the this point in the preseason,

431
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: what are players kind of trying to try to make

432
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: a mark on their last uh last kind of opportunities

433
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: to show the coach.

434
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 3: That they got Yeah, I mean it's the last opportunities

435
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 3: of you being able to make that mark so that

436
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 3: coaches remember you and say, we need to have this

437
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: guy on our st on our roster. So it is

438
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 3: a big moment for a lot of guys. You know,

439
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 3: I honestly never had to go through any kind of

440
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 3: cut situation like that. Well at the cut times I did.

441
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 3: If anybody remembers, but.

442
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: Your lunch, well we did have lunch, so you know.

443
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 5: But it is testing.

444
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 3: Even when you are a starter, even when you are

445
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 3: a guy that's not worried as much, you still kind

446
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 3: of have it in the back of your mind because

447
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: you start hearing of other guys that are vets that

448
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 3: you're like, whoa, that guy's pretty good and he just.

449
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 5: Got let go. So it's always in the back of

450
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 5: your mind for everybody.

451
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 3: But when you're a young guy, when you get to

452
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 3: these moments, you just have to stay within yourself, make

453
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 3: sure that you're putting in a ton of extra reps

454
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 3: before and after practice as much as you can so

455
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 3: that when your number is called, you're able to go

456
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 3: out there and just make a play, make a play

457
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 3: or two so that the coaches say, we can't cut

458
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 3: this guy.

459
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 5: This guy is making plays for us.

460
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 3: I mean, Terrell Davis uh has kind of the most unbelievable,

461
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 3: you know, last day of cut situation. He's in a

462
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 3: final preseason game. He's not making the team. The coach

463
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 3: has already kind of told him he's not, So just

464
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 3: go out there and have fun done and do whatever

465
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 3: you can do. Goes down and makes a huge hit

466
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 3: on a guy on kickoff, and he makes a team

467
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 3: through special teams because of that hit on the last

468
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 3: preseason game. This guy turns out to be a Hall

469
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 3: of Fame player, which is unbelievable in so many different ways.

470
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 3: But that right there just tells you you can do it,

471
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 3: and you can go on and have a great career,

472
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 3: not just make a team one year.

473
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

474
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 4: I think one thing to to remember now it's so

475
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 4: much different than when I started covering to league when

476
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 4: you played, is that there's now sixteen guys on the.

477
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 2: Practice squad rather than six.

478
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 4: So the reality of the last cut has become and

479
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 4: I think it's a really positive for the league and

480
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 4: the players. By the way, it's less about, you know,

481
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 4: when you get that knock on the door. For a

482
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 4: lot of these guys, the career is not ending. It

483
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 4: just means they're not gonna be making as much money

484
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 4: that first week, and then they're still gonna have a

485
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 4: chance to develop, which is a huge It's been a

486
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 4: major improvement.

487
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 2: It also takes you know, it's obviously a huge deal

488
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 2: to make the.

489
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 4: Final roster, but so much of the roster now five

490
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 4: or six or seven of these guys are on the

491
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 4: practice squad wind up getting moved up. You're sort of

492
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 4: a you know, an auxiliary part of the team, if

493
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 4: you will. So it's not like you're necessarily saying goodbye.

494
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 2: To these guys. A lot of these guys will still contribute.

495
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 4: That said, when you make that roster, it's still a

496
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 4: big deal for these kids, and it's still a cool

497
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 4: story that day when they make that fifty three.

498
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: Absolutely tough decisions, but very exciting for those that make

499
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: the fifty three. So we're gonna head to New Orleans

500
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: this weekend our second preseason game, will be back next
