WEBVTT - Jags A.M. Podcast Ep. 147 | Takeaways from First Day of OTAs 0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:18.280 Welcome to Dagdam. 0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:20.520 I'm kind of honest. Stephen Spriin, Sexton and John Oser 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:22.320 are with me today as we get ready to talk 0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:25.040 to you about OTA's the unofficial kind of start to 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:27.480 the offseason workouts, and that's our big thing Number one 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.240 OTAs Brian, we kind of make fun of this time 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.519 of year sometimes, but with a new regime coming in, 0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:35.360 this is really important. And we saw pretty great turnout 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:37.839 from the players yesterday. I don't want to say it 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:39.840 was one hundred percent, but I think only a couple 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:42.400 of faces were missing, and seeing everybody buy in this 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:43.680 early is really good to see. 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.440 Well, listen to all of the players from the quarterback 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:49.120 going down talk about the energy with this young staff 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.519 and the newness that comes with it, and they're. 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.640 All obviously revitalized by the fact. 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.160 That they finished four and thirteen last year, and anything 0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.720 would be better than that. I'll tell you what I 0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:02.120 was most interested in was when you look at the 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.000 roster that they hand out to the members of the 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:07.839 media by offensive line, there weren't tackles or guards or center. 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:09.479 It was all ol right. 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.800 And so that's interesting because we've been into OTA's in 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:14.800 the last couple of years we knew there was maybe 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.800 a competition between Cam Robinson and Walker Little at left tackle, 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.679 but you here's Ezra Cleveland and they signed Mitch Morse 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:23.520 last year. You kind of knew who it was and 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:27.120 where they were going to be. John, It's fascinating to 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:29.960 see it all jumbled up and not really have any 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:33.240 delineations of who's where or when. Even the coach said 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:35.840 it's going to go rep to rep from time to time. 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.600 Yeah, and I think that's definitely the plan. I think 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.160 some of the guys that we assume will start in 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.080 the offensive line probably will wind up starting, but they 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.640 have to earn it. I'm gonna take the needle and 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:50.080 put it back on the first song. And we've heard 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:54.800 this record before around here about OTAs with the regime change. 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:58.520 I don't necessarily think that OTAs are always vital for 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.760 every veteran on the team, But with the regime change 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.400 and with a new offense, and with Trevor Lawrence talking 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.880 on Monday about he's still learning this, well, guess what 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.280 if he's still learning it, everybody else surround him needs 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.600 to be learning it with him. So while we really 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:17.079 can't evaluate this or shouldn't evaluate it for you know, 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.200 we don't know, based on an Ota price, who's going 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.959 to start, but it is incredibly important for the players 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.440 to be learning and to be absorbing the culture what's 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:26.320 going on around here. 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.360 Good point, John, John Big thing number two is QB one, which. 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:31.000 We talked about Trevor. 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.200 We haven't seen him working with a lot of these 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.920 new players. I've seen him working out in the off season, 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.760 but now with the rookies here, everybody's here working with 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.920 QB one, and Trevor talked a little bit about what 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:42.880 he did with rehabbing through the off season. 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.400 Not a ton obviously, just getting back into throwing. You know, 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.560 I went for a solid three and a half plus 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:53.000 months without throwing, just with the shoulder deal, and so 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.480 starting to throw a little bit for OTA's and then 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:55.880 working into it. 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:56.520 I feel really good now. 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.000 I feel like my arm's back in shape, feel like 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.120 I'm getting sharper and sharper every day. 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.359 John Wey saw Trevor out there. He's working learning a 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.480 new system, but also a lot of new players he's 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.160 got to work with, both on the line and the 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:09.040 wide receiving group. 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:10.639 He's got to get used to. Yeah, and I think 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.920 particularly key, obviously is the wide receiver group, which I 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.280 know we'll talk about as a show goes on. They're 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:20.440 really fast, they're much quicker, they seem much more athletic 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.680 than maybe any group this team has had here going 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.880 back to the nineties. So there is a crucial element 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:29.800 of getting on the same page with those guys. But 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.000 I think the biggest storyline for Trevor Lawrence is the footwork, 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:36.200 and not necessarily that he needed to improve the basics. 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.920 Dramatically said there was some work he did there, but 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:44.920 Brian getting his footwork right for this offense, it's fascinating. 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.280 He talked about, he talked about several times this offseason 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.680 how the footwork dictates where he's going with the ball 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:55.120 and those things need to be muscle memory. If that's 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:58.800 the case, and it is, then every rep is crucial 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.040 as he tries to get this offense where it's second 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:02.560 nature by the regular season, you know. 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.720 And there was some conversation on the sidelines yesterday because 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.600 he threw a couple of passes that got tipped and intercepted. 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:09.080 And he overthrew one. 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.720 Listen, he alone is just coming back from all the 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:14.680 time he missed last year. Let alone all of the 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.320 new players, like you mentioned guy. But what we don't 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.560 know is how much he's going to progress from day 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:21.280 to day because we're not out there every day, right 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.400 So he may have struggled a little bit yesterday just 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.560 getting into the rhythm of things with people, but he 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.000 may have a much better day today. I think when 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.280 you look at the body of work, you can't look 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.560 at OTAs separate from training camp. It's going to be 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:36.120 how he works his way through this new system and 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.320 getting himself back into football shape all the way up 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:41.800 to the start of the regular season. I think that's 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.280 the best way to evaluate him. And you know, Johnny 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.560 kept saying yesterday that this offense keeps giving you answers. 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:49.599 He didn't elaborate. We didn't have enough time to really 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.719 dive into that. I'll be interested to find out more 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.680 what that means as we get into this thing with him. 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.320 Our final big thing today is going to be expectations. 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.880 As we talk about OTA's head coach Liam Cohen talked 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.080 about what he thinks is important this time of year. 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.760 Are we going to catch every ball and throw every 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.720 ball out here in the first day at Phase three? 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.920 I would assume not but more in terms of the operation, 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.720 the communication. Are we understanding what we're trying to get 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.760 accomplished out of the calls. It's a learning phase, not 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:18.360 necessarily a competitive phase. 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.240 And do you want to be cleaner? Absolutely? 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.800 Do you want it to look perfect, yes, we all do. 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.719 That's just not the reality at this phase this time, 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.760 in this phase, ran I. 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.200 Love some brutal honesty, which is fair the first day 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.560 out there, obviously not one hundred percent, not what you'd 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.560 expect to see at a practice in November. But it's 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.799 the little things that are important this time of year, right, communication, hustle, 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.440 getting your conditioning together. That's all little things when you 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.120 look at it. But in this grand scheme it's going 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:44.960 to play a big factor coming up in a couple 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:45.400 of months. 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:45.600 Well. 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.680 And obviously he understands what they're trying to do and 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.440 expects that the players will get better from meeting the 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.880 meeting in practice to practice, so that by the time 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.200 they get out of OTAs and into mini camp and 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.560 did the start of the training camp then to the 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.880 start of the regular season, they'll get closer to where 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.080 he wants to go. The thing I really enjoyed about 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.560 him yesterday was just the candidates that you mentioned, but 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:06.600 just the transparency. 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:07.440 He gets it. 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.040 He knows that people are going to talk about what 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.039 the quarterback did yesterday or what the defense did. Having 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.800 a couple of interceptions off the two starting well, the 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.240 starting and the backup quarterback both through a couple yesterday, 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:18.920 He's not gonna let that bother him. He's not gonna 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:20.160 let that become the storyline. 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.360 I'm going to move the needle back to the start 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:26.200 of the record again, right and look, it's the first 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.520 practice of OTA's unpadded work with a new system, a 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.920 new offensive system, a new defensive system, new players in 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.760 that system, new coordinators however you slice it, and a 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:39.640 quarterback who didn't throw for three and a half months 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:44.919 this offseason. No unit is ahead of the other unit 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.080 at this point because they're not competing like that. They 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.320 are trying to learn what's going on and trying to 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.960 be as ready as possible for training camp. You don't 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.680 want all the interceptions, but to think you weren't going 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.440 to have any on day one was a little. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:02.360 Selly here on jag Zam. The schedule released last week. 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:03.760 We're going to go over all of the dates with 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:08.320 you coming up after the break. Jag Zam brought to 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.120 you by Fresh from Florida. It's always in season. 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:26.040 This this school, that, this school. Welcome back to jag Zam. 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:27.720 We're gonna go over some of the schedule for you 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.800 and do a little this or that in relation to that. 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.760 So this came out last week on Wednesday, and now 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.440 we finally know where and when they're going to be playing. 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.520 We knew the opponents already, but that first five games 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.720 of the schedule is not going to be an easy set. 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.560 I think we've talked about this obviously. We did a 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.320 schedule release show. We talked a little bit about this, 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.800 but I figured for our jag Zam fans we'll recap 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.360 a little bit. But for me, if you can go 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.720 two and three here, I'm fine with that. This is 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.520 pretty tough out of the gate, including a primetime matchup 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.240 against the Chiefs here at home, which will should be 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.240 a great game if nothing else except to have Monday 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:04.360 night football back, which is always fun. John is the 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:07.840 first game against the Panthers. Is that a must win game? 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:09.640 I know you love call things must win. 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:11.600 No, it's not. 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.040 Because it's week one and if you say you must 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.000 win it. If you win the last sixteen, you look 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.600 pretty silly saying that was a must win game. But 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:30.440 for energy, for belief, yeah, I think it's important only 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:34.960 because if you believe that twenty four results will translate 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:38.000 into twenty five, then this is a really tough start. 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.120 That's usually not the way it works. But that's all 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.280 we have to sort of gauge it on right now. 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.800 If you lose to Carolina, now you're looking at a 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.960 Bengals team that thinks it's going to compete for the 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.880 Super Bowl. The Texans are your big rival in the division. 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.480 You've got the Chiefs, who look, you can play really 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.760 well against Patrick Mahomes and not win. And then the 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:58.520 forty nine ers. You can't believe they're gonna be six 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:02.680 and eleven again, so must win. No, but you better 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.960 win a couple of these. And that looks like the 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:08.000 one that's the most gettable. 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:09.480 I'll take the other side of the coin. From an 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.360 emotional side. You remember what it fell around here last 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:12.360 year when they were one and. 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.079 Four, not great, and it felt like they were out 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.320 of it, you know, And there are still players in 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.360 the locker room who remember that. Despite the fact that 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.360 there's a lot of new faces, both on the coaching 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.640 staff and next to them in other lockers. One in 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.440 four would be a disastrous start to this season, not 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.800 because you couldn't overcome it, because recently they didn't, and 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.160 it would it would be like the negative muscle memory, like, 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.160 oh boy, here we go again. 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:37.400 What's really changed? 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.559 So from that perspective, yeah, beating Carolina here on opening 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.800 day seems like a really important game. 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.320 And part of that too. Look, we're used to this 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:50.079 team struggling because it lost the last or five of 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.079 the last six and twenty three and four and thirteen 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.040 last year, so we're sort of tend to look at 0:09:56.040 --> 0:10:00.520 the schedule with that sort of feeling. Still, these guys 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.040 don't believe they're going to be that team. So if 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:07.440 you're not that team, then that schedule at the top 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:08.960 is just a difficult schedule. 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:12.520 But after Kansas City, if you're one in four, that's 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:14.320 not good. They're still going to believe that they're not 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.560 that team. That's right, right, I mean I don't I. 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.440 Think a little bit at this time we were all 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:21.640 a little Dilall listen here. 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:23.319 The other thing is you don't know, you don't know 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.800 who comes into the season banged up, right, What if 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.319 one of those receivers gets hurt in Cincinnati and training 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.920 campan isn't full speed. You know, what if the offensive 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:35.079 line that they've rebuilt in Houston isn't there. We're judging 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:38.640 them based on last season's results, and we're projecting that 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:40.880 the Niners won't be as bad as they were last year, 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.240 which seems fair to project, but we don't know where 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.000 they're going to be. So yes, it looks on face 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:48.760 value like a very challenging schedule, but there's a lot of. 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.600 Unknowns there are, and it's important for us to remember too, 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.600 as much as we remember how things didn't feel great 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.839 last season. I feel like almost half this roster is 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.000 different at this point, so they'll feel a little bit 0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.880 differently going into this as well. So let's look at 0:10:59.920 --> 0:11:02.440 that next chunk of games, week six through ten. I 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:06.600 believe obviously they're heading to London during that stretch, and 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.400 then there's a bye week. How important is it around 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.840 the bye to have a winning record be five hundred? 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:14.520 Are you looking at it that way, Brian? Are you 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:16.120 kind of just looking at it as a whole. 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:18.199 I'm looking at it as a whole because you can 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.240 grab some momentum over the final six games of the season. 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:23.559 But let's put it this way. 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.880 You want to be around five hundred at the worst, 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:29.200 because you've got these trips to the West Coast interspersed there, 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.640 You've got some challenge as you come off Kansas City. 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.480 You know, you've got a game against Seattle, who's been 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.200 a pretty good team consistently for the last decade. And 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:38.560 we know about the Rams in London, and then you 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.800 come home. You got to go to Vegas and that'll 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.000 be a different team under Pete Carroll. And then you're 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:47.040 at Houston. So two and three gives you a chance. 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:49.880 With these four games, maybe you could go three and 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:53.280 one and take advantage of that and find yourself at 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:58.080 five and five, five to four, right, I mean, that 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.440 would be ideal. When you look at the will stretch 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:00.960 of the season. 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.000 The question is do you have to be five hundred 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:05.440 to buy you know? I do you have to be 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.440 three and four, four and three? I think you need 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.400 to be three and four, you know, I think at 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:15.200 least because it's easy to say, well, you know, you 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.199 can be two and five and come back from look 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.280 what they did in twenty two. But remember how historic 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.599 and what heavy lift got to run the table for you, 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:24.280 and you had to have a team come way back 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:28.080 to you. You can't count on a late season dramatic run. 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.600 So I do think you have to tread water with 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.480 what if the schedule is indeed difficult. I think you 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.200 have to tread water and be five and five, six 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.720 and six ish and then have a chance to sort 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.560 of reel some teams back in with what looks like 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.040 a more manageable late season schedule. 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.520 And we're also assuming that this team is gonna we 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.200 are assuming that this team is going to struggle a 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:49.960 little bit early. 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.480 New coach, some new players. Maybe they don't. 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:55.360 Maybe they don't, that'd be great. 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.160 Let's look at our third section, or a third chunk, 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:02.080 which is games eleven through fourteen. I think, as we mentioned, 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:06.400 there's those West Coast trips interspersed there some tough road matchups. 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.000 When you looked at this schedule as a whole, Brian, 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.720 what was the toughest road games on there? 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.000 I think going to San Francisco. I mean, even though 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:16.720 they were six and eleven, we know the quality of 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.000 that team, and that's a place that the Jaguars have 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.760 never fared well against a team that they've never fared 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.040 well with. That one is the one that stands out, 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.640 is the biggest West Coast trip, you know. But when 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:30.560 you look, you see the one against the Cardinals. That's 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.559 a sneaky good team. Because the quarterback will be healthy 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:37.840 this year second half of the season. I think that 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:39.880 Cardinals game is going to be a pivotal one for them. 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:43.960 Yeah, it feels like that you guys about road games, 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.959 but that Chargers game here at home. Chargers feel like 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.000 a team that's going to push Kansas City this year. 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.400 I agree with Brian, and San Francisco feels like the 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:57.640 toughest one coming up in this final stretch. Denver with 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.520 Sean Payton feeling like he's got that thing go, and 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.480 it just feels like they're going to be contending and 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.520 it's gonna be a game that matters to the Broncos late. 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:07.480 So I would go with that one as well. 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:09.760 I agree with you, John, when I look at that 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:13.480 schedule and I see Denver in December, knowing what they 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.160 did late in the season last year. You have an 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.839 experience head coach of a rookie quarterback kind of coming together. 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.320 We'll see what a sophomore campaign looks like but for 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.240 me cool, if it's a game, it'll be a big 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.360 game Meeta way, I think just in terms of the 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.720 Jaguars on the road that'll be for us. I think 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:27.240 it'll mean. 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:28.880 Something that's always a great environment too. 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.760 Absolutely all right, So let's here on Jagsam. Coming up 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:33.600 in a little bit, we're gonna go over OTA's. You'll 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.120 hear from head coach and your quarterback. 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:40.200 Move the freight. 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.280 Move the freight, Magellan Transport. But the coolest office space 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:50.320 in Jacksonville. You can check things out at Magellanlogistics dot com. 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.680 Back here on jags AM, OTAs are underway and we 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:55.360 got to hear from head coach. Got to hear from 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.400 the quarterbacks the first time in a while, so it 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.360 was nice to get their perspective of Obviously, Trevor Lawrence 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.120 mentioned he hasn't been throwing for a couple of months 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.120 due to that shoulder surgery. Now he's back out there, 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.480 fully active with his teammates, but also learning a new system, 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:11.400 which he talked a little bit about yesterday. 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:14.160 I really like it. You know, it has a lot 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.440 of answers. You know, it's it's it's great. I mean, 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:18.560 it puts a lot of the players you have to 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:20.320 know your stuff, but it gives you all the answers. 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.080 You know, you're not I don't feel like you're stuck 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.040 in a play that's uh not set up for success. 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.040 You know, gives us a lot of answers. And uh 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.280 we changed the presentation a lot and make a lot 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.840 of things look the same. You know, there's there's a 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:33.760 whole lot of without going into too much detail, you know, 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:35.320 there's a lot of things that I like about it. 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:39.240 And it's definitely unlike any system that I've learned before. 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:40.960 So it's been cool to learn and just pick the 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.960 coach's brain and try to get it down as fast 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:44.480 as possible. 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.480 John, that was your question to Trevor Lawrence, and he 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.840 said he likes that it has a lot of answers 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:53.240 for him, kind of talking about that new system for 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.960 him making things available to him. What did you take 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:57.000 from his answer? 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.880 No, Core on first day of OTA is going to 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:06.200 stand up and say this system stinks. But I do 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:10.760 think it's a storyline to follow in terms of what 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:16.000 this system gives the quarterback easily, meaning the footwork all 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:20.440 ties into making the decisions easy and making the quarterback 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.800 have to think. Let's quarterback always has to think, But 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:28.200 it's about taking as many making as many decisions, feel 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.640 like muscle memory, based on the footwork, based on the routine, 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.360 based on the pattern. So I think that's really what 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:38.240 he's talking about liking, and it's going to be interesting 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:41.280 to see how quarterback friendly because I think that's what 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.440 I think that's the word they're looking for with this. 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.240 It's supposed to make it easy to make decisions. 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:48.640 Back there, Well, I'm going to take the needle and 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.320 move it forward a song. Okay, okay, well only in 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.120 the sense that the running game I think is going 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.080 to be the key to making the quarterbacks life easy. 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:58.800 I know the footwork is going to become a story, 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.400 and we're focused on Trevor Is he comes back from 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.560 the shoulder injury, and I think we have plenty of 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.040 new viewers, Travis Hunter fans who come on who may 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:09.360 not know it was the non throwing shoulder for him, 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.720 So it's not like he wasn't throwing because it was 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.199 the throwing shoulder. It's the non throwing shoulder. But I 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.679 think that the running back position is as interesting as 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:19.919 any and we won't talk about it early in OTAs, 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:22.480 we'll talk about it more when they're actually in pads 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:26.160 in training camp. But as he kept talking about answers 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:30.639 and answers and answers, I think the ability to convert 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.120 on third down and shorts, which they haven't done, will 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.000 give him as many answers as anything because it will 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:35.960 keep the defense guessing. 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.000 Yeah, if the running game can get him in better, 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:42.959 not only converting more second and fives as opposed to 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:48.160 second and eight, it'll be key for him. So how 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:52.639 the offensive line fares is going to be key for 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:53.800 him and for everybody this year. 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:55.840 You read between the lines a little bit too when 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.080 he says having plays where he feels like they're set 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.880 up for success, where maybe some other times we talk 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.000 about those third and longs, a lot of the first 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:06.000 couple plays maybe weren't setting them up for success in 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:10.200 past regimes. So we'll definitely see some changes alteration there. 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:12.320 So I think everybody's looking forward to kind of seeing 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:14.919 what they do there. Trevor Lawrence also finally got to 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:16.680 work with Travis Hunter. Right, We've been talking about that 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:18.679 for a while. Travis Hunter have mostly been focusing on 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.880 offense thus far, and Trevor talked a little bit about 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:22.760 what he's seen from himself. 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.880 Far, I got a lot of juice. He can run 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:27.440
