Speaker 3: them for a while. Thirteen draft picks and of course

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 3: all of those undrafted free agents were here for rookie

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 3: mini camp last week. Culture a big topic of discussion

Speaker 3: with Doug Peterson and of course Trent Balky, So will

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,280

Speaker 3: hit the field, you know, not doing a ton right now,

15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 3: but at least they're out there with their uniforms on

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 3: and helmets and we got a little bit of a

17
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 3: peek at that. Also got the schedule release last week.

18
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 3: So a busy week here in Jacksonville, and of course

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 3: always exciting to see new people here, going to challenge

20
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 3: some of the other players on this team and hopefully

21
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 3: fill out some of those roles that you know need

22
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: in an addition to this roster that's already pretty set.

23
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 3: Had a great season last year and now we're going

24
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: to see some of these new faces coming in. I'm

25
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 3: Kain Nannie Stevens. Welcome into Drive time of course, Brian

26
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: Sexton with us, John Oser, I'm very excited to be

27
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: back with you guys and get things going here. And

28
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 3: last week we had a lot of people in the building,

29
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff going on. What were your first

30
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 3: impressions of some of the new faces we saw.

31
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 4: They all looked apart, right. I Mean, it sounds like

32
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 4: it's so simple, but it's important when guys walk out

33
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 4: on the field that they're you know, big, yeah, exactly,

34
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 4: long length and big hands. I mean, they all look

35
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 4: like they belong. There have been times in the recent

36
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 4: past where some players on this team didn't look like

37
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 4: they belonged right comparative to other teams, and that's not

38
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 4: the case with this roster anymore. John. When you look

39
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 4: across it, you see a lot of guys that look

40
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 4: like they belong on a football field.

41
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't want as a GM or as a scout.

42
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 5: If you're a scout, you don't want one of your

43
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 5: guys that you sort of bang the table for you

44
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 5: don't want to be walking off the field after rookie

45
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 5: minnie camp going or like going off first pretending to

46
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 5: go to the bathroom, so you have to run into

47
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 5: the GM.

48
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 6: And it didn't feel like that was the case at all.

49
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 6: Last week.

50
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 5: I had Trent Pukey on the ozone podcast for this

51
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 5: week and he said, and he's exactly right. His big

52
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 5: concern is make sure that all the guys you start

53
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 5: that camp that day you end with meaning no injuries.

54
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 5: We've had that before around here too. I don't know

55
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 5: if any of these guys beyond the first three can play.

56
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 6: We find that.

57
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 5: Out once they put pads on a training camp.

58
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 6: But the first three really look the part.

59
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 5: The other ten draft picks all look like they belong

60
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 5: around here.

61
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 3: It's part of the fun trying to figure it out.

62
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: Let's do big things really quickly. Of course, our big

63
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: thing Number one is day one. Anton Harrison. He is

64
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: a big thing in many ways. He's a big person.

65
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: So you see him out there getting ready. Obviously he's

66
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: done a lot in college. The versatility that he brings.

67
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: He's going to start at right tackle for the team.

68
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 3: But a lot of what Trent Balk and Doug Peterson

69
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: like about him is that he's may be able to

70
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: play at several positions on the line depending throughout his

71
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 3: career here in Jacksonville. So he talked to us a

72
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: little bit about what this transition has been like here

73
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 3: now that he's a pro.

74
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 4: It's definitely different.

75
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: I'll say it's more intense. You've got it's a better

76
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 2: higher level skill or the defense and offense, a higher

77
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: just IQ of everybody out there. So it's definitely a

78
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 2: higher intensity. But I say it's great to be out here,

79
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: finally back on the field, learning from the coaches and

80
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: the older guys. So it's definitely good to be out here.

81
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: First round picks always have high expectations, and we have

82
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: that him. Of course, big thing to the day two

83
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 3: guys Brenton Strange and Tank Big Spy. They went all

84
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: offense in the first couple of rounds of the draft,

85
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: and you know, maybe some people weren't as familiar. I

86
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 3: don't think Brenton Strange his name had been brought up

87
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: pre draft, but he said he's very excited to be here,

88
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: learn from Evan Ingram and get going.

89
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I talked to Evan. He reached out to me

90
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 7: on Instagram, shot me his phone number and got it,

91
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 7: gave him a text, and so it's great to have

92
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 7: a guy like that. It shows what type of leader

93
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 7: he is and how he comes in and I've only

94
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 7: heard great things about him, how he comes in and

95
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 7: works every day. So I'm really excited to learn from

96
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 7: him because I've been watching him since he's been at

97
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 7: Old Miss. So it's kind of surreal, you know, just

98
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 7: watching a guy growing up and now you play on

99
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 7: the same team with him.

100
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 3: It could be a scary combo right there. And then

101
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: of course our Day three guys. There was a lot

102
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 3: of draft picks this year, the most enfranchised history thirteen.

103
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: Of course undrafted free agents as well, so there's a

104
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: lot of names that maybe we don't know that might

105
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 3: be able to come in, whether or not they have

106
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 3: an impact or they're just gonna compete and push some

107
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: other guys. There were some people that we do have

108
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 3: our eye on, ya see are Abdullah from Louisville is

109
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: one of them. He's been beating up on Flora's Safe

110
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 3: for a while. If you're Flora's Safe in you might

111
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 3: be familiar with him. But he's just excited to come

112
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 3: in here and really learn from the people around him.

113
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 2: Be a pro, you know, be a bit of pro

114
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: and geat everything I can learn. Also, I can't be

115
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 2: a sponge for these coaches and the older Gayzavi.

116
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: So exciting times. We've got every back buddy back in

117
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 3: the building. Anson Harrison there. He is just a big man.

118
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: He's just impressive.

119
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 4: You know what struck me though, was he's big, but

120
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: he's not. Lean's not the right word.

121
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: He looks like a big He's a large built person.

122
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 3: He's not. I don't mean he's fat or a sackey.

123
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 4: Guy like you expect some offensive linemand correct.

124
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: He's almost like shack Like he's just a large person, right,

125
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 3: Like he fits his size and he's athletic. And you

126
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 3: see him and without pads on, he looks like you

127
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: can run around with anybody.

128
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 4: And look. Phil Rosher, the offensive line coach, was giving

129
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 4: him as much coaching as anyone. Right, there's the little

130
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 4: detail thing, of course, But when you watched him, John,

131
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 4: what you saw was a guy we talked about looking

132
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: like you belong. He belongs. I mean, he's effortless in

133
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 4: his movement and I was paying attention to how he

134
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 4: moved to his right since that's where he's going to

135
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 4: be on the right side after playing left tackle at Oklahoma.

136
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 4: Looked like it was no big deal for him. I

137
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 4: know that there's some technique and things that have got

138
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: done there, but it looked like that would be a

139
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 4: transition he could make well.

140
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 5: Kai used the phrase fits into his body, and it's

141
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 5: exactly right. I can remember when Tony Biselli was here.

142
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 5: You would walk out onto the practice field from three

143
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 5: fields away, and if you didn't know Tony was a

144
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 5: offensive tackle, he looked like a wide receiver even though

145
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 5: he was six seven, three ten, but he fit. He

146
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 5: was natural in how he looked. I'm not comparison, not

147
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 5: comparing Anton to Tony, but there is when you were

148
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 5: standing near him when he was working in padwork, when

149
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 5: he hit the pads sounded different than when the other

150
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 5: guys hit the pads. And again it's it's not padded whatever,

151
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 5: but there are some physical things there you like out

152
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 5: of the skit.

153
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 3: You have to imagine that size and the fact that

154
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 3: he's as athletic as he is is going to help

155
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 3: with that versatility. Because you know, we talked to Trent

156
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 3: yesterday again and they really emphasize the fact that they

157
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 3: expect him to play multiple positions at different points in

158
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 3: his career here and that's why they were so focused

159
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 3: on getting him well.

160
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 4: And he looks like a guy who's got good punch

161
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 4: on the bag, right, John talk about hitting the bag.

162
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 4: He's got long arms and big hands. He's got all

163
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 4: the physical tools. We talk about guys looking like they belong.

164
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 4: You got to have those. You gotta the arms and

165
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 4: the hands and the you got to have the length

166
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 4: that gives it offensive tackle, the chance to get a

167
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 4: hold of a guy before he gets into his body. Right.

168
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 4: Shorter arms means these guys are getting on top of

169
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 4: you and bull rushing you. So he looks like that

170
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 4: kind of a guy. And to talk to him afterwards,

171
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 4: to listen to him. He understands the task that's in

172
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 4: front of him and.

173
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 3: He gets it.

174
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 5: He's somebody out of that group Walker, Little Cam Robinson

175
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 5: or Anton Harrison. It stretches reason to me that one

176
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 5: of them isn't going to play guard by the end

177
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 5: of the season, because you're going to try to get

178
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 5: your best five on the field, and I've got to

179
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 5: believe that those three are part of the best five.

180
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 5: Can Anton Harrison come in and play right tackle and

181
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 5: then move to guard as a rookie. I don't really

182
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 5: see why not. I think that's that's absolutely in place.

183
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 5: So the versatility of the Tren's talking about we could see.

184
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: This year and with injuries last year, you can never

185
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: have enough lineman right versati alignment because as we've seen,

186
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 3: that may not be a sexy pick necessarily, you know,

187
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: not a skill player, but they serve a very important role.

188
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 3: So he is very well needed here. Let's talk a

189
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 3: little bit about the day two guys. Brenton Strange, Tank Bigsby.

190
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 3: Brent Strange wasn't necessarily on anybody's radar right off the gate.

191
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 3: I think some people may have been surprised by the name,

192
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 3: not necessarily that there was a tight end added, but

193
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: specifically Brenton Strange out of Penn State. But John, you

194
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: told me when you saw him out on the field

195
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 3: that he just looks like he's going to be a

196
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 3: perfect fit here.

197
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 5: Well, he looks impressive. I mean, if you're walking out

198
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 5: onto the field on Friday or Saturday and you were

199
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 5: looking around and didn't have any roster, didn't have any idea,

200
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 5: and you know nothing about football, Strange would have jumped

201
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 5: out as a guy who is very physically impressive. He

202
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 5: didn't do a whole lot on Saturday. I think it

203
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 5: was and he tweaked something or something happened, or he.

204
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 6: Didn't do a whole lot.

205
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 5: Wasn't a big deal, but you can see why they

206
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 5: chose him if he is as good on the field

207
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 5: as he looks. In terms of the part, I could

208
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 5: easily see him being a versatile type who can block.

209
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 5: They haven't really had that versatile guy probably since Mercedes

210
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 5: had good receiving years Bright. No, he was ona of

211
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 5: that many, but he did that at times. But I

212
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 5: think this is the first guy I've had like that.

213
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 4: He wasn't done anyone's radar because he only had thirty

214
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 4: two catches last year at Penn State, only five touchdowns,

215
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 4: so they didn't use him to his potential. And obviously

216
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 4: Doug Peterson has the reputation of utilizing tight ends to

217
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 4: their potential. He's this year's Trayvon Walker. By that, I

218
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 4: mean when you walked on the field last year and

219
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 4: you got to look at Treyvon Walker, You're like, oh,

220
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 4: I get it right, You could tell, well, that's why

221
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 4: they took him number one overall when you walked on it.

222
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 4: When I walked on the field, I turned my head

223
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 4: and I saw him. I went, that looks bigger than

224
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 4: six foot four, two hundred and fifty five pounds. Right,

225
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 4: it's the way that he's constructed. And he made one

226
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 4: sort of off schedule catch down the scene where he

227
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 4: had to turn his body and focus on getting the ball.

228
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 4: I mean, it's hard to even turn your body like that,

229
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 4: and he did it in stride and was like, Okay,

230
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 4: I get it. The guy it's got a lot of potential.

231
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I haven't.

232
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 5: I haven't talked to Doug or Trance specifically, you know,

233
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 5: off to the side about this kid. To me, this

234
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 5: feels like a pick where Doug Peterson when Trent said, hey,

235
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 5: we've pulled the trigger on this guy, where he smiled

236
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 5: and said, yeah, he fits what I want to do.

237
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 5: I think the tight end room is going to look

238
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 5: more like a Doug Peterson tight end room than it

239
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 5: has since he got here.

240
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 4: They said, all the draft experts said this was going

241
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 4: to be a deep crop, a deep class of tight ends,

242
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 4: and it certainly was. When you get a guy that

243
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 4: appears to be that talented at the bottom of the

244
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 4: second round.

245
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 3: And Doug Peterson did. You could see in the in

246
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: the draft room when they made that pick, he was

247
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 3: smiling ear to ear. So he definitely has some plans

248
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 3: for him, especially also Brent Strange talking about how he

249
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: already had reached out to Evan Ingram, so you got

250
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 3: to hope he's going to learn a lot from him

251
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 3: as well when he gets back in the building. I

252
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: do want to talk about Tank Bigsby as well, because

253
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 3: A that's a great name, and b if he lives

254
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 3: up to it, it's going to be even better. But

255
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 3: he just brings something to this offense that I think

256
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 3: you guys had mentioned last year may have been lacking

257
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: a little bit, because you need that kind of bulldozer,

258
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 3: you know, third in one guy that you can give

259
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 3: the ball to and like get that first down and

260
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 3: maybe you know, give Travis Atn a little bit more

261
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 3: leniency to play his game. And Tank really feels that role.

262
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 3: Feels like he's gonna fill that role.

263
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 4: He's a high knee guy, right, I mean when he

264
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 4: goes in between the tackles, now those knees are getting

265
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 4: up there. He is chopping up ground. He looked very

266
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 4: comfortable again, shorts and T shirts. I get it, but

267
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 4: running between the tackles looks to be where he's gonna

268
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 4: make his yardage in the NFL. And then he's got

269
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 4: the mindset. You get those knees up that high, you'reletting

270
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 4: everyone know here I come people.

271
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 5: I thought about this during the draft a lot too.

272
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 5: Everybody talked about, well, you picked backups. You picked guys

273
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 5: who aren't really gonna start in this offense. Doug Peterson

274
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 5: does not look at an offense and see eleven starters.

275
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 5: He looks at an offense and knows that there are

276
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 5: five offensive line stars, one quarterback starter, but those other

277
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 5: five positions. He likes to have five, you know, ten

278
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 5: eleven guys there. Bigsby and Strange give you the sort

279
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 5: of depth and versatility if you really want to see

280
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 5: this offense go, you needed these guys on the offense.

281
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 5: I think Doug got the offense he wanted. I don't

282
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 5: think they went into the draft thinking they had to

283
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 5: do that, but Bigsby gives them running back by a committee.

284
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 6: Frankly they didn't have last year.

285
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 4: He's got a starter potential, right, I mean, he was

286
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 4: a five star out of Atlanta, Alabama recruited this kid

287
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 4: and offered him as a freshman. He chose Auburn because

288
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 4: the relationship that he had with Cadillac Williams. Okay, so

289
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 4: this is a guy who had Auburn, had to do

290
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 4: a lot of things and didn't have the talent around him.

291
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 4: The word is, this is a starting caliber player and

292
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 4: you're gonna need that because Travis Etn is a guy

293
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 4: who's gonna get nicked up. Or what if you put

294
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: Travis Etn in the slot right here and there and

295
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 4: again to what John's point is is that you're creating

296
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 4: with those guys who are rotating in and you can

297
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 4: use him in a lot of different ways. When you

298
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 4: got a guy like Tank Bixby, you don't have to

299
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 4: worry about putting Travis in some different spots to go

300
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 4: and utilize his open and field skills.

301
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 3: There are very few teams I think in twenty twenty

302
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 3: three NFL that have one soul running back, I mean

303
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 3: running back by committee is the way that you function

304
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 3: in the NFL at this point. So they needed that

305
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 3: also to mention at Auburn, he was there without a

306
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 3: lot of talent about around him, but he stayed there.

307
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 3: Which I think is also very telling in terms of

308
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: you know, they're talking a lot about character guys, Right,

309
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 3: he stayed in a situation maybe wasn't best for him,

310
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 3: but he wanted to be there and work with the

311
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 3: people he worked with, and I think that can be

312
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 3: telling as well. He didn't just try to transfer and

313
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 3: find a good spot.

314
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, Tank talked about on the ozone podcast. So when

315
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 5: I had him on a couple of weeks ago about

316
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 5: that very thing and said when he committed to Auburn,

317
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 5: he committed to them and he wanted to be loyal

318
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 5: as long as he was in college, he was going

319
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 5: to be there. I think what's interesting about I lost

320
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 5: my train of thought. Good, No, it's okay.

321
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 3: I was just going to say. It's so telling for

322
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 3: me as a character standpoint, that's been a big focus

323
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 3: for Doug Peterson and Trent Balky, and that says something

324
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 3: to me about someone that's saying, hey, this isn't the

325
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 3: best of times, but I'm going to stick this out

326
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 3: and do what I can do for myself and for

327
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 3: the team around me. So I think that's very telling.

328
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 3: I do want to touch on some of the Day

329
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 3: three guys really quick anybody that jumped out to you,

330
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 3: I wasn't here. So if there's anybody you saw that,

331
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 3: maybe was a name he hadn't murd of.

332
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 4: For Rodgers, the young man from Baker County High School

333
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 4: who went to Appalachian State. He played tackle in college.

334
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 4: He's going to play guard inside. Just got to learn

335
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 4: to play. But just talking to some of the guys

336
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 4: who scouted him, they're very high on his potential and

337
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 4: think he's a guy who can plug in once he's

338
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 4: got the intricacies of playing guard in and play for

339
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 4: you for ten years.

340
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, this guy looked the part. I mean he out

341
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 5: of the guys who were on the bag. He showed

342
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 5: the same sort of power in that world as Anton Harrison.

343
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 5: And he talked a little bit to somebody I was

344
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 5: listening to an in in the sidelines. He could have

345
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 5: gone different places in applash and State. He stayed loyal

346
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 5: to that program after he committed. This guy is interesting.

347
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 5: I think he is the diamond in the rough out

348
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 5: of those ten picks on day three.

349
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: That's exciting. And do you want to touch on yes

350
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 3: here Abdullah excuse me as well, because he's one of

351
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 3: those undersized guys we talked a little bit about you know,

352
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 3: that room is going to be crowded. We need someone

353
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 3: to kind of step up. Is he someone that, even

354
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 3: if he doesn't make the roster, he's just gonna push

355
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 3: some of the other guys to be the best version

356
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 3: of themself.

357
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 4: Probably.

358
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 5: I mean, I think we're sort of overplaying a little

359
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 5: bit the idea that these Day three guys aren't going

360
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 5: to be on the roster. I think, Okay, the fourth

361
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 5: and fifth round picks, I think they're going to be

362
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 5: on the roster bare minim practice squad. They're gonna be

363
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 5: on the roster because if you have him the practice squad,

364
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 5: they're gonna get signed somewhere. But yes, I think he

365
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 5: can push. And this is a team that is very

366
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 5: good right now in their top twenty two, top thirty,

367
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 5: but the twenty three you're still building depth that you

368
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 5: didn't have for two or three years.

369
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 6: So I think he's a guy.

370
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 5: I think I think Ventro Miller is a special teams

371
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 5: guy immediately, Lacey, you know, I think there are guys

372
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 5: on Day three, especially fourth fifth round Parker Washington, sixth man.

373
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 4: I expect a.

374
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 5: Lot of these Day three guys and we're overplaying the

375
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 5: idea that they may be practice squad guys.

376
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 4: Day three. What Trent bal Key was looking for was

377
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 4: twitchy athletes, right, I mean high at, highly athletic, fast

378
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 4: twitch muscle guys with traits, right, long arms, big hands,

379
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 4: all those things, whatever position they play. And he found

380
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 4: a bunch of those in Parker, Washington Brasswell. The corner

381
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 4: from Rutgers is another one that got brought up to

382
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 4: me and the thing about Abdullah and I ran this

383
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: by someone he had unique and Gockway kind of production

384
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 4: in the ACC the same conference. Right, So this is

385
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 4: a guy who can rush the passer, but he's bigger, right,

386
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 4: He's broader, he's thicker, he can play the run. Interesting

387
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 4: to watch and see how he develops and what role

388
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 4: he figures in to a defense that needs more from

389
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 4: their pass rush.

390
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 3: Those are some of the interesting guys right to see

391
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 3: what we'll get out of them when they get here

392
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 3: and when they hit training camp. All right, guys, stick

393
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 3: with us. We're going to come up in a little

394
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 3: bit and talk about the schedule. We knew who they

395
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 3: were playing, but now we know where and whens. We're

396
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 3: gonna go over some of the games rolling forward to

397
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 3: also maybe a trap game or two, and of course

398
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 3: all of those primetime matchups stay with us a busy week.

399
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 3: Last week, we finally have the schedule for twenty twenty three.

400
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 3: We knew who they were going to play, and we

401
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 3: know when, we know where, and a lot of those

402
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 3: are primetime matchups, which is very exciting for this team

403
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 3: getting rewarded for some of their success last year. And

404
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 3: we were going through the schedule a little bit. You

405
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 3: guys talked a little bit about it last week, but

406
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 3: we're going to play a little bit of a game

407
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 3: because we want to kind of talk over some of

408
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 3: the games that we now know when and where they're

409
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 3: going to be, and maybe what we're looking for as

410
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 3: could be trouble spots, what we're looking forward to, what

411
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 3: might be a highlight for them. So we're gonna start

412
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 3: out with what game do you think might be a

413
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 3: trap game for them? And in that regard, I mean,

414
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 3: not necessarily a game we expect them to win, but

415
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 3: maybe something you hadn't really thought about and then might

416
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 3: surprise and be, you know, not a great performance out

417
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 3: of them. I don't know if anyone has anything particular

418
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 3: in mind, you know, I think sometimes people are get

419
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 3: a little you know, caught up in the London stuff.

420
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 3: That could be something. But Brian, what do you.

421
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 4: Think I'll go with the Texans? Either one? Okay, not

422
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 4: because I think the Texans are all of a sudden

423
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 4: world beaters based on their draft and free agency, or

424
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 4: that Demico Ryans is gonna come in and you know,

425
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 4: set records as a first time head coach. But because

426
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 4: this team always seems to trip itself up against the Texans.

427
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 4: It did it here last year in October, and you know,

428
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 4: as they were making a run down the stretch for

429
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 4: the division title, had they stumbled even once, that Texans

430
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 4: game would have been one to look back on. They

431
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 4: should never have lost to Davis Mills. They'll have a

432
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 4: rookie quarterback in CJ. Stroud, They'll have a first year

433
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 4: head coach. But they've got enough talent and just enough

434
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 4: history with this franchise that either won the one right

435
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 4: before this team goes to London or the one in

436
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 4: November could be that one that you go, oh, why

437
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 4: did that have to happen?

438
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: So is the division guys right that kind of come

439
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 3: out of nowhere?

440
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 5: You're like, gosh, you bet, Yeah, I think I went

441
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 5: with I was gonna go with Houston.

442
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 6: I figured Brian was gonna go with Houston.

443
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 3: The other like this, we'll go different answers.

444
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 5: You also theoretically could have gone with Atlanta. Scares you

445
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 5: a little bit that first London game because you have

446
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 5: that second game in Buffalo. But I don't think they'll

447
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 5: I don't think they'll have a trap game in London

448
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 5: because you know, I.

449
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 3: Think it'll benefit them to be there for two weeks.

450
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, personally, I think I'm going to go with Carolina.

451
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 5: Week seventeen. Carolina picked one, so there's this sort of

452
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 5: assumption that they were bad, but they got a lot

453
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 5: better at the end of last year. Frank Wright can

454
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 5: really coach. And then what you don't want is week

455
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 5: seventeen to be looking ahead to the Tennessee game, and

456
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 5: you know, so it's hard to hope they have everything

457
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 5: clinched by week seventeen, guy, and you're not worrying about this.

458
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 5: But Carolina is an interesting team to me. I think

459
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 5: by week seventeen they could be a team that you

460
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 5: don't want to overlook.

461
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 3: For me, I think it might be Thursday eight football

462
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: when they had to New Orleans because I feel like

463
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 3: they have the London trips, they get back, they have

464
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 3: one game, and then they got a short week and

465
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 3: they're heading to New Orleans, which is always hard for

466
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 3: people on a Thursday, and New Orleans is just one

467
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 3: of those places you don't really know what you're gonna

468
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: get when you get there. So that could be something

469
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 3: to keep an eye on, as well as what game

470
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 3: we're looking forward to most Obviously, you know there's Chiefs

471
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 3: out there. There's a lot of different options. I don't

472
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 3: know if fans are looking forward to the Chiefs that

473
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 3: early in the season or if they would have rather

474
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 3: seen them a little bit later. But is there a

475
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 3: game maybe that you're very much looking forward to, Brian,

476
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 3: what were you looking for?

477
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 4: I'll go with San Francisco forty nine ers. I've said

478
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 4: this before. I've always enjoyed watching how Kyle Shanahan puts

479
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 4: the offense together right.

480
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 3: Every year. It's different, but it's good.

481
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 4: But just the way that he did it with his

482
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 4: dad when he was the offensive coordinated with his dad,

483
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 4: and all those years in Denver and Houston where he's

484
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 4: been Atlanta, really sharp, sharp guy, and I think he

485
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 4: gets the most out of every player, and I always

486
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 4: envied that right until Doug got here and you last year,

487
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 4: it was like, Okay, whoa this is? This is the

488
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 4: AFC version, right, I mean, he comes from the Andy

489
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 4: Reid tree to see these two guys square off against

490
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 4: one another. And of course San Francisco brings in an

491
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 4: amazing defense. Even though Dimigo Ryans, last year's coordinator, is

492
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 4: now in Houston, they have a way of playing defense.

493
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,239
Speaker 4: With the talent on that line, It'll put a lot

494
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 4: of pressure on Trevor and this offense. So I just

495
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 4: and that's coming off the bye week right start in

496
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 4: the second half of the season. You believe these guys

497
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 4: will be in a position to make a run. It's

498
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 4: going to be an important game and I think there'll

499
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 4: be a lot of conversation around the league about it.

500
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 3: The forty nine ers are always a good measuring bars well, right,

501
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 3: because Kyle Shanahan really does make some good adaptions even

502
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 3: when they get you know, so many injuries. I feel

503
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 3: like they're dealing with every single year, but somehow they

504
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 3: still are able to compete and you know, make some

505
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: of those intense runs in the playoffs. John, what do

506
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 3: you have as your game that you're looking forward to

507
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 3: this season.

508
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 5: I would have gone with three games, but it's a

509
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 5: one game question.

510
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 3: The whole season.

511
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 5: The power teams in the AFC Cincinnati, Kansas City, Buffalo, Yeah,

512
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 5: those are the one that are going to be the

513
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 5: measuring state games. It's a very unique time in the

514
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 5: AFC and that you have these teams that everybody sort

515
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 5: of assumes or your power teams, so you have real

516
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 5: measuring state games. But out of that group, I'm going

517
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 5: to go with Cincinnati on Monday Night football because I

518
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 5: assumed that Brian, being from Kansas City, was going to

519
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 5: go Kansas City, so I missed on that and we

520
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 5: talked about Buffalo a little bit. Cincinnati, Joe Burrow, Trevor

521
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 5: Lawrence Monday Night Football.

522
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 6: It'll be that first.

523
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 5: Primetime game in Duval County that's been scheduled. Obviously, you

524
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 5: had the energy, so we know what it's going to

525
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 5: be like. But having that game of min to night football.

526
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 5: Fans have looked forward to that so much. I think

527
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 5: it's going to be the second matchup of Trevor Lawrence

528
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 5: and Joe Burrow, which is going to be a matchup

529
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 5: for the next ten to fifteen years. But the first

530
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 5: one wasn't really on even footing. This is the one

531
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 5: that's really going to start this ride and the Borough thing. Look,

532
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 5: Josh Allen gets a lot of attention and Patrick Wills obviously, but.

533
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 4: He's really good, really good. He's got that Tom Brady

534
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 4: esque sort of ice in his veins. You know, they

535
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 4: always show him wearing something outrageous as he walks in

536
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 4: the game. I do too, just got this little cocky

537
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,719
Speaker 4: little but I think he's terrific. He's as good as

538
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 4: any quarterback in.

539
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 3: Football, and the talent around him, they're gonna be good

540
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 3: for a while. Oh yeah, they are, so yeah. I

541
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 3: mean Monday night football is always great, so that will

542
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 3: be a great return for them to Monday night football.

543
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: I think for me, all those games you mentioned are

544
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 3: really good. I think that second, that Buffalo game in

545
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 3: London is going to be great, and I think being

546
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 3: there for the second game will actually benefit them and hopefully,

547
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 3: you know, not having to go to Buffalo is great,

548
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 3: So getting to play them in London will be good

549
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 3: for them, and I think that's either way going to

550
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 3: be a really fun game and good to see early

551
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 3: on in the season for them. Now, as for those

552
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 3: London games. Do we feel do you feel you guys

553
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 3: feel the same as me that the two games is beneficial.

554
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 3: Do you think it's you know, gonna harm them. It's

555
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 3: the first time we're seeing back to back games for

556
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 3: them in London. They always go once a year, but

557
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 3: to have a home and away game there, do you

558
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 3: think it's beneficial for them to be staying there?

559
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 4: I think there's an advantage for this team because this

560
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 4: is the tenth year that they have gone there to play.

561
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 3: It's pretty much their home away from home.

562
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 4: They understand the trip. In fact, you know, the staff

563
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 4: that's here that handles the logistics has been here for

564
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 4: most of that time in its current composition, So the

565
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 4: coaches have come and gone and they've plugged in because

566
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 4: the system is in place. So now you get them

567
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 4: over there, and I'm of the belief that you're already there,

568
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 4: You're already acclimated. Buffalo's got to come over. They don't

569
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 4: play there every year, So I do think it's an advantage.

570
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 4: It would not be an advantage if you were playing

571
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 4: Josh Allen and choose your backup quarterback as your starter, right,

572
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 4: Gardner Minshew is still the starter here instead of of

573
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 4: a Trevor Lawrence, that's not an advantage. But when you

574
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 4: put Trevor Lawrence on the field against Josh Allen in

575
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 4: Buffalo against Buffalo in London, yeah, I do think you

576
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 4: have an advantage.

577
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 3: John. Is it good that they're playing them in London

578
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 3: instead of Buffalo.

579
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 6: Well, it's good.

580
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 5: Yes, Obviously you're not playing on somebody's home turf and

581
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 5: it's not in January, bl Wizard. So I think that's

582
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 5: an advantage for the Bills if they can have been there.

583
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 5: I think the second game in London, the away game

584
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 5: is an idea. Its time has come. I think they

585
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 5: have been open to that for a while, like the

586
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 5: schedule fell this year where it worked out. Is it

587
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 5: necessarily an advantage, I think it is for now. I

588
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 5: think the Jaguars having been there a lot, as you said,

589
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 5: the logious people know how to get there, and that

590
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 5: keeps players calm going over there. There's no confusion, there's

591
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 5: no weirdness. I think as more teams play over there

592
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 5: more often, that advantage will lessen a little bit. But

593
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 5: I certainly don't think it's anything negative for the Jaguars

594
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 5: to be doing this on the field.

595
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 4: Well, you're building your fan base over there, which we've

596
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 4: seen grow from you know, nascent to really strong, as

597
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 4: strong as anyone over there, you'd think. But most importantly

598
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 4: is that how prescient was Shodkhan when he decided to

599
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 4: do this? Right now everyone wants to go play with

600
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 4: Before we think they're playing in Germany, they're playing in Mexico,

601
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 4: talking about going back to Canada, they're talking about someday

602
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 4: playing in South America. Every team what in fact not

603
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 4: just playing, but there are marketing, oh, licensed to agreements.

604
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 3: That's the smartest part of all this.

605
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 4: There are teams I think the Eagles are one that

606
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 4: are marketing in Nigeria. Okay, So everybody wants the overseas presence.

607
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 4: It's the best way to grow the game according to

608
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 4: these owners, and Con has a head start now after

609
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 4: ten years in London on a lot of teams and

610
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 4: a lot of them would like to be in London.

611
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 4: It turned out to be a really fortuitous move for

612
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 4: the franchise.

613
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 7: Overall.

614
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 3: It's looking very smart with that decision that he made.

615
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 3: We did talk a little bit, but I do want

616
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 3: to touch on it again. The primetime matchups they have,

617
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 3: if you count the London games which are in the morning.

618
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 3: There's five, which is huge for this team that has

619
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 3: not had a lot of primetime exposure and you know

620
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 3: outside coming in for me, that's going to be great

621
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 3: for you guys, because I know what you guys did

622
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 3: because I follow the NFL, but I didn't get to

623
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 3: see it live because you know, the Jaguars aren't available

624
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 3: in other parts of the country. So for you guys,

625
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 3: for the team now to be on primetime and have

626
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 3: the eyeballs on them and some of the non primetime

627
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: games like Kansas City, people are going to be able

628
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 3: to check in on. That is gonna be able to

629
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 3: allow the rest of the country to see Trevor Lawrence

630
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 3: and hopefully get a little bit more respect I would

631
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 3: imagine when they actually see it with their own eyeballs.

632
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 3: Which of these primetime games there are three, So there's

633
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 3: that Thursday night game against the Saints, There's Monday Night

634
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 3: Football against the Bengals, and then there's gonna be Sunday

635
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 3: Night Football against the Ravens. Which of those three do

636
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 3: you think is the biggest challenge for them?

637
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 6: Well, I think Cincinnati.

638
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 5: I mean, I think they're the best team of the

639
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 5: bunch Baltimore could change my mind on that. By the

640
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 5: time the game rolls.

641
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 3: Around, they're my wildcard, I think.

642
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they they'll be good. Both those franchises

643
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 5: be really good. I'll go with Cincinnati because I went

644
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 5: with them on my thing it's now blank. So I'll

645
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 5: go Cincinnati because the Joe Burrow factor. But playing the

646
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 5: Ravens here on Sunday night won't be easy on December

647
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 5: seven or December seventeenth, I think you no.

648
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 4: You're right, But it's a quarterbacks game, and Burrow is

649
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 4: at the very top of the list. And when you

650
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 4: put Burrow and Lawrence in there, I think that's going

651
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 4: to be the most difficult one. Here's the other thing.

652
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 4: They're wide receivers. Jamar Chase is the best receiver in

653
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 4: the league. You know, They've got height, they've got they've

654
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 4: got speed with Taj Boyd, They've got Chase, who's the

655
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 4: all around. They are just as complete a an offense

656
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 4: as there is in football. So I think that's going

657
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,239
Speaker 4: to be the most And and they're used to these

658
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 4: big games now. I mean, there was a time when

659
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 4: the Bengals were an after thought, just like you know,

660
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 4: the Jaguars have come out of that. But now they've

661
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 4: played in big playoff games, they've played in the super Bowl.

662
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 4: Burrow is a star. I think it's clear Cincinnati.

663
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 3: I'm excited for Ravens too. I didn't just mention as

664
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 3: a wildcard because you know, they've had a lot of

665
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 3: injuries as well, so we haven't seen them at full

666
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 3: strength in a while. Lamar Lamar. Jackson's got his money.

667
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 3: Now he's got Odell Beckham junior there. We'll see what

668
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 3: that kind of becomes. There's obviously the possibility there. But yeah,

669
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 3: of course Monday night football with the Bengals is going

670
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 3: to be a good one. Stay with us. We are

671
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,840

Speaker 6: This podcast is own friend Lady oh suit.

676
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 3: Favorite time of the week ozone mail Bag. John Oser,

677
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 3: our fearless leader, going to answer some of your most

678
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 3: desired questions you're writing into us. So where Our first

679
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 3: question here today is from Amy from Jacksonville. She says

680
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 3: these lofty expectations are making her nervous. Should she be scared?

681
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 5: Well, I get this a lot right now, because people

682
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 5: they want to know about expectations. They want to know

683
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 5: is it okay for me to be excited about this

684
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 5: team or should I be scared? Well, I don't know.

685
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 4: Be what you want.

686
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 5: So the reality is this team has earned its expectations.

687
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 5: It's earned the status that it will have as the

688
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 5: AAC South of favorite. I believe they'll win the South.

689
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 5: I believe they'll be very and very competitive. At the

690
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 5: same time, I understand fear for two reasons. I live

691
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 5: with it, kai but the this was not a great

692
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 5: team last year. It was a clutch team that did

693
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 5: great things in it last year and looked like it's

694
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 5: going to be great.

695
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 6: But this team still has.

696
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 5: To earn its status as a as a perennial contender.

697
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 5: It's not Buffalo yet, it's not Kansas City yet, it's

698
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 5: not Cincinnati yet. If they go beat a couple of

699
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 5: those teams this year, get in that conversation, then there's

700
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 5: a four in the AFC. Right now, there's a three,

701
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 5: and this team's been bad for a long time. So

702
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 5: I get why fans are nervous about it. But you know,

703
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 5: what if you weren't nervous about it, then the winning

704
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 5: wouldn't be any fun. It's not scripted television. With apologies

705
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 5: to our guy Asher, it's it's you're supposed to have

706
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 5: that edge. I think they're going to be good, but

707
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,719
Speaker 5: I get why there's some nervous about it.

708
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 4: Amy. This is what happens when you get the respect

709
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 4: that Jaguars fans have been looking for. People start talking

710
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 4: about you in these terms. But with all due respect,

711
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 4: the only thing that matters is whether they have PTSD

712
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 4: about it, and they don't, right, So feel free to,

713
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 4: you know, be nervous about it. But that team that

714
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 4: we watched last year and the additional players who've come

715
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 4: in this year, they're not going to be phased by

716
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 4: it at all. They know they've got a good chance

717
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 4: and they believe they're ready for it.

718
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 3: I think cautiously optimistic might be the way to go, right, sure,

719
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 3: hope for the best, and maybe let your hair on

720
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 3: fire and go all right, go for it, all right.

721
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 3: JT from Fort Worth, Texas is our second question, second

722
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 3: and final question today. So he says, it's great we

723
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 3: have Sunday night football, Monday night football this year, but

724
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 3: he's not blind to the fact that they could get

725
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 3: flexed out, which that's what happens later in the year

726
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 3: to Shay Nfl.

727
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, Kai, this is sort of Jaguars fans, you know,

728
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 5: there's a little bit of a defeatist attitude, and they've

729
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 5: been through a lot, they've been beaten up a lot, and.

730
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 4: They had a game scheduled against the Steelers and they got.

731
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 5: Right and many people were mad at the league that year.

732
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 5: The bottom line is the Jaguars didn't earn the right

733
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 5: to be on that game that season. Look, I did

734
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 5: get a couple of emails like this with people saying, well,

735
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 5: the league's clearly setting it up to be flex. The

736
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 5: league set up Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence and Lamar

737
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 5: Jackson Trevor Lawrence, and they think because they think those

738
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 5: are going to be marquee games both of those teams,

739
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 5: I mean, the Ravens and the Bengals and the Jaguars

740
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 5: still have to earn a spot on that. But this

741
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 5: was not a thing where the league said, hey, we're

742
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 5: going to flex Jacksonville take the candy you now, Now,

743
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 5: this is this is the first for a into being

744
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 5: a respected primetime team, and I have every confidence that

745
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 5: the Jaguars earned the right to stay there.

746
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you. Those two games in December against

747
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 4: AFC playoff hopefuls. Tell me the league would like those to.

748
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 6: Be the games I think.

749
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 3: I think they will remain the same barring injury. I

750
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 3: think that's why they always have that option to flex

751
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 3: out right in case, you know, something untoward happens to

752
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 3: either of those quarterbacks. But for the most part, I

753
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 3: think they're pretty much that just names alone. Those two quarterbacks.

754
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 3: You're gonna want to see that.

755
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 4: You prove it this year, you go win it. Right

756
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 4: until then, Jacksonville remains that market that isn't quite big

757
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 4: enough to overcome the New York Jets, right, Jets aren't

758
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 4: any good, but they're in New York.

759
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 3: And they're dramatic.

760
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 4: Now they got well I'm talking about past, but you're right,

761
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 4: they do. You get my point. Jacksonville will remain that

762
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 4: smaller market that has to earn its way into the

763
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 4: prime time. And once they're there, and with this quarterback

764
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 4: and this coach, there's every reasonably they'll stay there for

765
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 4: a long run. You still got to get over a

766
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 4: hurdle or two.

767
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 5: Look, they have five games on primetime or national TV.

768
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 5: The league is setting it up Tampa's at four o'clock

769
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 5: by that time, that could be a high profile game.

770
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 6: Week eighteen could be high.

771
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 3: Profile tits if there's something online.

772
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 5: If you get a couple of playoff games, all of

773
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 5: a sudden, you're talking about being on TV seven or

774
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 5: eight times potentially two, that's.

775

Speaker 3: media a little bit of a pat on the back

788
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 3: because the schedule release video it has become a phenomenon.

789
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 3: Not just getting the schedule out there, but the video

790
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 3: that goes along with it, and I just think they

791
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 3: did an amazing job. Obviously, you guys have some very

792
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 3: important speaking roles in that video. I was a character actress.

793
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 4: In the Bayeline got cut. He's the only one to

794
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 4: have it. Oh, John, we were just character actors.

795
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 3: Oh that's true. I was just a expression. So I

796
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 3: didn't get to talk either.

797
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

798
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 5: Somebody said, hey, I like your cameo, and I said,

799
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 5: when you're the stars.

800
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 3: It's true. It was all about you. But I just

801
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 3: what they were able to put together was obviously amazing.

802
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 3: We were involved a little bit. It was a multi

803
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 3: day process. Asher Grodman super fan Jackson obviously a great

804
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 3: actor as well, and he.

805
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 4: Rallied the troops. I mean, when you present a script

806
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 4: that gets the coach involved and the quarterback.

807
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 3: And they bought in.

808
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, well yeah, okay, but they all know it's perfect.

809
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 4: He got them all, you know. He wrote the script

810
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 4: and he pitched it here in the building and they

811
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 4: got all the pieces in place and a lot of

812
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 4: enthusiastic participation. It was fun to be a part of.

813
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 4: It was fun to see this team create something right

814
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 4: that was on par with the best of those other

815
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 4: teams in the league.

816
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely, everyone's been, you know, giving them shout outs. I

817
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 3: wanted to do it as well because we got to

818
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 3: see you know, we were involved in parts of it,

819
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 3: but I didn't get to see the player stuff until

820
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 3: it went live, and I was like, oh my god,

821
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 3: that that that made it right. The buy in from everybody,

822
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 3: Doug or Pug, pugged eaters in or whatever we were

823
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 3: going by, that was great. And I think just to

824
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 3: be able to have a team that doesn't take themselves

825
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 3: too seriously and can have fun.

826
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 4: With it well is very telling.

827
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 3: Yeah it should be. Yeah, sorry start, I didn't know

828
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 3: if you had any more words.

829
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 5: I did a great job, and uh, it's shout out

830
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 5: Tod ash Er did a great job, he really did, Yes.

831
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 3: And thank you for involving us. I will take a

832
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 3: speaking line next year though.

833
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 4: Who else did you watch and which one did you like?

834
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 3: So I watched a decent amount of them, I think

835
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 3: for me, I know the Saints tried to do what

836
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 3: we did, which I feel like the Jaguar's a little

837
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 3: bit better. The Chargers, who I love on social media,

838
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 3: I'm not maybe I'm not the target audience. I don't

839
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: get the anime thing. It was very well done. I

840
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 3: can tell the effort is there. I'm not sure I

841
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 3: quite got it. If any of you can explain it

842
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 3: to me a little bit better.

843
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm too old to get it.

844
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I'm old as well.

845
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 4: I like the one, like most people, the one the

846
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 4: Titans did on Broadway.

847
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 3: Was it just Yes, I don't like to give them

848
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 3: credit for anything, but that was pretty cute they did.

849
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 4: It was funny. Yeah, I mean the chest your cheeto thing,

850
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 4: I just touche thing.

851
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 3: Calls whatever they want. They're gonna lose, it doesn't matter.

852
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, Division Champs fits in there.

853
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 3: Any favorites from you.

854
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 6: I didn't watch that many of them.

00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 3: I I just watched yourself a couple of times.

856
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,760

00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think it'll be interesting for fans. I

869
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 5: think they've gotten an idea of what Trayvon's all about.

870
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 5: I've talked to him a couple of times in the

872
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 5: talking to him, which is a little more one on

873
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 5: one in Heartfelt and he was on the ozone podcast

874
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 5: once last year, and he's reserved when there's a lot

875
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 5: of cameras around him, but when it's just you talking

876
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 5: to him, he's very engaging, very insightful, and a lot

877
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 5: of fun to talk to. And I think I think

Speaker 5: you'll enjoy it, and I think fans will get a

879
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:27,319
