The opening 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:39.640 day of real practice going into the first week of 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:44.280 the season. Colts Jaguars preview coming up on kickoff weekend, 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:48.200 the debut for this new look Jaguars offense. As we've 0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:51.120 said on this program and and the others, we'll have 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:53.280 an idea of what it could look like, but we 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:56.440 don't really know. We'll hear from Gardner Minshew though on 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.920 on the veteran part of that group, the offensive line 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.520 uniform I unveiling that happens every Wednesday. Jimmy Luck, head 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:06.240 equipment manager, will join us virtually and give us an 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.640 idea of how the off season has gone in that 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.080 department and what the Jags will be wearing. We're gonna 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:15.679 debut the game called Big Game Jaguar and as you 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.640 might imagine, we're gonna pick the Jaguars that will have 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.399 a big game. Real original name for the segment coming 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.520 up later, we'll go around the league as well. Lucky 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:29.760 Brooks in Los Angeles, Good afternoon. What's happening man, It's 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.600 all good. Really excited first week of games taking place 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:37.280 this weekend. So let's get after it. Yeah, kick off 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.399 weekend is here, John, at long last, We're gonna teat 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.760 up until meat Leather on Sunday at one o'clock. John, 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.960 I'm excited. I'm excited about big game Wednesday. I mean, 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:50.440 I can tell you put some time into that one, 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.040 j V and I appreciate you and the boys back 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:57.640 in the studio. Yeah, well, you know we're gonna move 0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.400 it towards the end of the show to build some 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:03.360 anticipate atian for for the last segment. It's there, it's there. 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.480 It's big. It's big. So I'm glad you're along with 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.880 us today. Um, let's start off the injury report today. 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.919 The first injury report of the regular season put out 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.320 Divino zigbo Is on there with a hamstring did not 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.720 practice today, Tyler Davis with a knee issue, and Tyler 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:23.359 Eifford had a scheduled day off, so we'll see obviously 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.639 how the rest of the week goes, Bucky, But when 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.799 one of your three running backs is did not practice 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:32.680 going into the week, Um, that's a little bit concerning 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:37.160 on Wednesday. Yeah, I asked a huge concern because Wednesday's 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:41.000 the workday. When you think about the way most NFL 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.840 teams practice, Wednesday day heavy day. It's the first day 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.160 of your game plan. You're thinking about first and second 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.760 now run packages, so that is where you really need 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.079 all your running backs available because that is the bulk 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.680 of the game plan. When we get to Thursday and Friday, 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:58.080 it becomes third down, red zone situations. It is a 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.480 huge loss of these not there. But he is going 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.399 to put the onus on Chris Thompson to be able 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.200 to be ready to play and maybe play an even 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.560 bigger role than we thought. Appointment going into the year. 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.480 What do you think about this one? John, the first 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:15.760 injury report, Well, it's uh, obviously you'd rather have it 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:19.120 to be limited or not at all. With his zega. Uh, 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:23.000 it certainly means James Robinson, you sort of thought that 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.680 might be a sixty forties split with the base carries 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.799 between he and Robinson. Uh over now between hand and 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:33.480 is Zigga. You know, the Jaguars love James Robinson. They 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.000 put a lot of stock into him. It also may 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.360 mean eventually later in the week Nathan Cottrell, you know, 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.480 I think he's protected, so might mean something with him. 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.440 It's uh, it's not ideal, but James Robinson he's gonna 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.560 get his opportunities. And I think Bucky's right it will 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.080 mean a more expanded role in the bass stuff for 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:56.920 Chris Thompson maybe been originally thought. I'm curiously, I mean, 0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.000 this is we heard again today from from Doug Morone 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:04.920 and Jake Gruden about Robinson and the faith they have 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.600 in him and his mindset coming in here and kind 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.680 of just goes about his business. And we've talked about 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.920 it on these shows already, Bucky, but he's the first 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.080 string and running back on the depth chart at least 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.080 now in reality, that might not be the case come 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.160 game day. You know, he might be the first guy 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.640 out there. But that's pretty remarkable to have an undrafted 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:29.120 running back as your possible opening day starter. It's unbelievable, 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:33.520 particularly in this set of circumstances. Uh, you don't have 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.480 an opportunity to see him play in the preseason game, 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.400 so we can only speculate what he is going to 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.479 be like, not only as a runner, but in past protection. 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:43.680 So much of what running backs need to be able 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.680 to do is they need to be able to double 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.000 read and make sure they pick up the right guy 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.080 when it comes to who is the additional blitzer so 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:54.039 they can protect the quarterback. And so to task a 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:58.039 young player and undrafted player with that man that is 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.240 that is a lot. That means he might has have 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.760 really been very impressive during the virtual off season, and 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.280 when they got him onto the field, he had to 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.200 show people that he could take it from the board 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.799 to the field and do it very, very quickly and efficiently. 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.800 We'll see coming up this Sunday what they have in 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:18.240 mind at the running back position. We'll get into the 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.200 offense a little bit more. Coming up, we'll here from 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:24.520 Gardner Minshew Um and he'll discuss that offensive line, the 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:28.360 veteran group up front, and and their mindset going into 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.520 the season. But let's start with the Jags defense against 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:36.039 a Colts offense this week. Guys. Obviously, they ran the 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.320 Bowl well last year. John anyway, and then you throw 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:43.359 in Philip Rivers on top of everything, and they have 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.520 a great offensive line, a very well paid offensive line, 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.839 by the way, So this offense is formidable to say 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:58.720 the least. They can really really move the ball. Bucky, 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:03.000 there were talking about JP you talking about the offensive line, 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.679 they are very formidable. When you think about Ryan Kelly 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.480 and Quinn Nelson inside being able to control the point 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:12.200 of attack, Brandon Smith and Cosans were being solid on 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.560 the edges. Make no mistake about it. Despite Philip rivers arrival, 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.760 Frank Wright wants to run the football and it starts 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.359 up front. You're talking about one of the best offensive 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.000 lines in football. They want to set the tone with 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.840 the big boys up front. There's a lot of money 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:31.599 going out, Bucky on the front pot for the Indianapolis Colts. 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.440 I mean those guys. They just signed the center to 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.000 an extension really from the center to the left guard 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.599 to the left tackle, UH and even the right guard. 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:40.960 That's a lot of money going out, and then you 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.520 have a second round pick at right tackle. It is 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.320 it's got to be among the best in the league, right, 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.080 I mean absolutely, it's one of the best in the league. 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.320 When you look at the UH things that they've been 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.040 able to do, like Chris Ballot, the general manager, has 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.680 been able to flip the offensive line. You talk about 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:02.400 those picks Quinn Nelson, Ryan Kelly Radon Smith come in 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.560 very very quickly. They've been able to establish themselves as 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:09.320 one of the top offensive lines. And because that unit 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.080 is so dominant at the point of attack, they're able 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:13.880 to run the ball and it doesn't matter who is 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.320 in the backfield. With Marlon Mack and Jonathan Taylor coming over, 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.400 they can hit you with a one to punch and 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.920 really play old school big boy football, which is what 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.480 Frank Right also wants to do at times. Yeah, and 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.680 and then protect obviously the veteran quarterback John I'm not 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.320 sure if you're with us or not, but uh them. 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:34.120 Can you imagine if Andrew Luck would have had an 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.840 offensive line like this in his early days? Well, and 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.640 that's the great irony of this team. It's uh it. 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.920 It's a team that really shows you how important the 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:49.360 quarterback position is. For from two thousand and twelve to 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.880 two thousand and seventeen is eighteen is they were a 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.640 playoff contender every year because of Andrew Luck. Most people 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:59.320 would say the roster was okay, not great. Now that's 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.960 sort of it where most people think it's a very 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.560 very good roster, with the missing piece being a quarterback 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.240 that we think will be good in Philip Rivers but 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.520 aren't sure. I think Bucky said it best a couple 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:15.440 of minutes ago. This is not a Phillips, a Philip 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.320 Rivers driven team. This is a team that wants to 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.000 play ground and pound. They want to run. So I 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:25.840 think average NFL observer not paying great attention just sees 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.160 Philip Rivers. I think this is a throw it all 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.680 over your throw it all over the yard team. It's 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:32.880 not at all. It will rise and fall on their 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.800 running game, with Rivers needing to make a few big 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:39.360 plays on top of that. So uh, they look awfully 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:43.120 good as long as he's two thousand eighteen Philip Rivers 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.839 and not two thousand nineteen. Yeah, they had some struggles 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:48.760 last year, for sure. He's getting beat up a little 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:52.640 bit too out in Los Angeles. UM. So obviously, the 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.520 big point of emphasis for the Jaguars defense this whole 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:59.360 offseason has been to stop the run more efficiently. They 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.480 did not do the ut last season. We've been through 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.960 all the changes in the offseason. The opt outs the 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.760 retirements early in training camp. So this is the defense 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:10.920 there you are going to go play with Bucky and 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:14.480 they've got some new faces in the interior. There um 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.560 a guy like joern again who will contribute. Avery Jones 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.680 is still around, He's been here for a long time, 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.920 eight years in the league. Now you got a new 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:26.000 middle linebacker two and Joe Schobert, so um, Josh Allen 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.680 really has to play that run too. And they've talked 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.439 about the strength of Chase On at times, but they 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.480 really want him as a pass rusher if they can. 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.760 But you have to get to pass rushing downs and 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.400 it starts the first and second down, and this is 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.920 going to be the You'll find out real quick if 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.199 the Jaguars defense is has patched up the run game 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.240 this year. Yeah, that would be the biggest part of 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.360 the game, especially early. Can the Jaguars hold up against 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:54.160 the physical running game. Everyone knows that the Jaguars struggle 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.439 against the run a season ago. So the first thing 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.000 that you do as an office coordinator, you want to 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.160 test and see if they solve the issues. And if 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.640 they haven't resolved the issues, they can get a heavy 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.840 dosage of the run. So you you pointed to that 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:12.520 interior triangle. R B Jones, Tavin Bryant, Joe Schobert, the 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.520 mic linebacker, those defensive tackles and mic linebacker. They have 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.800 to dominate the tackle to tackle box so they can't 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:21.760 get to the right so they can get the third 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.520 down and have the right to rush the passer. But 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.280 the first two downs, it is all about the toughness 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.480 and being able to stop the run. If they stop 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.920 to run, they have a chance. But if they are leaky, 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:36.120 it's gonna be a problem. It's gonna be a long day. John, 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.560 What did you when we heard from Todd wash Um? 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.280 When was that earlier this week? I suppose when he 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.079 spoke for and he'll speak again as last week. He'll 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.520 speak again coming up later this week. That's obviously gonna 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.720 be a talking point for Todd again this week is 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:54.280 is how do you slow this ground game down? And 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:56.800 he's known from the start this is what they have 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.959 to do this whole offseason. Well, I ain't gonna be 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.760 major talking point until they show they're better at it. 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:07.160 And I don't expect miracles up front this year, meaning 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.280 I don't think all of a sudden they're going to 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.800 be a dominant, dominant run stopping team. But what I 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:14.720 do think they can improve. I mean, and I think 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:16.360 they'll have a little bit of the same issue they 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.679 had last year, which was more bring down than being 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.360 awful all season. They sort of broke down in mid 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.360 season when some of those guys wore out. They just 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.280 played too many snaps. But I do think they will 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.640 be better in one regard. I don't think you'll see 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.720 as many breakout plays against them. Remember, and there were 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.600 games last year Carolina where it seemed duck Christian McCaffrey 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.920 still running. There were a few games like that where 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.880 they had to breakout place. I think Joe Schobert and 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.480 moving Miles Jack, and I think getting Josh Jones in 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.079 there and frankly not having Ryanny Harrison's not gonna hurt that. 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:50.480 A lot of missed assignments last year in the middle 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.400 because Miles was covering up for people. I think if 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.080 they get that settled down and just don't allow the 0:11:56.120 --> 0:12:00.720 breakout runs, how about this your breakout play you're bad, 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:04.400 play the eight yards instead of seventy. That would help 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:08.800 dramatically and improving the run game to an acceptable level. 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.040 Are they going to be dominant without Al Woods, without 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.480 Marcel Darius in his prime all that stuff. I don't 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.960 think so. But they can get better to where it's 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:20.560 not losing them games outright. Yeah, that did feel like 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:24.160 the case a lot. Those big breakaway runs really turn 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.000 the game Bucky a lot of times in last season 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.400 for this defense. Yeah, you can't give up the explosives, 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.920 explosive runs, explosive passes. Uh, that is the name of 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:35.800 the game when it comes to defense. And you talked 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.240 about the Jaguars wanted to get back to being a 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.760 dominant unit. Where the easiest way to get back to 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.920 doing that is simplify things so everyone knows exactly what 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.680 they're doing. John alluded to some of the coverage bust, 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.840 the minimal mistakes, the errors that are not even physical 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.160 errors that led to big plays. Well, let's eliminate those things. 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.440 Make sure that everyone understands exactly what they're doing. Should 0:12:56.559 --> 0:13:00.320 it may be a smaller package of defensive calls the week, 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.760 just because of the preseason where we're at, whether it's 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.880 a small package, the players should know it. They should 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.320 be able to run fast. They have to run fast 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.400 to the ball. And they have to tackle. Those are 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.880 the biggest things early in the season. Will everyone hustle 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.280 and can you make the open field tackle. If they 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.800 can do those things, they can play pretty good run defense. 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.360 Oh yeah, that's that. We'll find out quick if if 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.720 which teams in this league have been going through tackling 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.520 drills in which teams have not? I think on on 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.920 kickoff weekend, we are just getting started. We'll come back 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.199 and get onto the offensive side.

And of course 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.240 game day is right around the corner, and we can't 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.559 wait to be dove all together again.

You know 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.560 if they those guys, you know, maybe more than anybody 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.560 on the team, when something goes wrong, they you know, 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.040 it hurts them. You know, they they don't want to 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.440 mess up because they know that's putting somebody else in danger. Um. 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.440 And one of the biggest things I'm proud of is 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.920 how they've come together. I think as a unit, they've 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.920 really grown and they've grown close. Their communication is really tight. 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:21.640 It's really good. I think they all have a lot 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:23.960 of belief in each other, um that they're gonna be 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:25.440 able to get the job done. And I know everybody 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:29.160 else on the team has that belief as well. Carter 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:33.160 Minshew talking after practice today and welcome back to Jaguars 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:37.480 Happy Hour on this Wednesday, JP Shadrick, Bucky Brooks, John Ohs, 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:41.520 You're glad you're along with us today on Jaguars social channels, 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:46.120 the Jaguars have launched an organization wide commitment to voter education, 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.160 organized by players and coaches and designed to encourage fans 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.760 to get in the game. With a call for civic engagement, 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.680 The Jags are calling for fans in Florida to register 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:59.360 to vote by the October five deadline. Visit Jaguars dot 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:03.240 com slash vote as a resource for voter registration and 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:06.760 key deadlines. You know that we can talk about and 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:08.840 we have and we well, I'm sure at some point 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.959 the all the playmakers that could be on this Jaguars offense, 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:16.960 from chart to effort to Leavisca chan alts just leaving 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:21.080 a bunch of guys out obviously running back by committee. Um, 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.040 you've got Gardner Minshew has to trigger all that. But really, 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.280 I think Bucky, the and John, I think you and 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:28.359 I on the practice field today talked about this for 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:31.440 a moment as we watched the offensive line. It really 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:35.280 starts there with the veteran five guys up front. They're 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.720 all back from last year, Bucky, and if those guys 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.480 are playing well, then it sets up everything else on 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:45.679 the offense. For for j Gruden, it absolutely sets up everything. 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:47.720 The offensive line is where it has to be done. 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.840 We've had plenty of conversations throughout the off season about 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:53.720 Cam Robinson and his Cam Ready, and I think he 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:55.960 is the one that really makes it go. Thinking about 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:58.640 your left tackle, the guy that is your blind side protector. 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:00.840 If he is able to hold up and one on 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.760 one and give going to Miss you opportunities to throw 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:08.240 without being under pressure, that helps. But really it's about 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.159 the running game. And I know we don't anticipate the 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.119 Jaguars having a bell cow runner. They're going to spread 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.320 the carries out. But the best thing that they can 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.080 do to help the offensive line is find a way 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.880 to run the ball. The offensive line is always better 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.600 when it's going forward as opposed to back feddling. If 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:26.560 they can run the ball at the point of attack. 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.880 Andrew Norville a j can those guys, it gives them 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.920 an opportunity to dictate the terms. That makes the conditions 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:37.480 favorable for going to Miss you to have success. John 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:39.760 a lot of veteran presents, especially in the middle of 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:43.879 that offensive line, guards and the center. Yeah, And it 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:48.119 strikes me j P. That maybe this is where there's 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:51.879 the biggest disconnect between the fans and the team. Meaning 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:56.880 when fans say, oh, they're tanking, what are they doing? Um, 0:18:57.000 --> 0:19:01.040 how could you know? Fans believe that Doug Moron and 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:05.480 Dave Caldwell are absolutely lying to them. They think that 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:07.879 Dave and Doug I think this team is going to 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:10.520 be terrible, And I don't get that impression from talking 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.840 to him. And I think the biggest reason why they've 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:17.400 invested in this offensive line as a team, seventh year 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:21.400 In Norwell's, seventh year Lender, sixth year can, fourth year 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:25.439 Cam Robinson. For this team, that's a really veteran line. 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.480 And if you wanted to tank, you to cut Lender, 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:30.520 If you wanted to tank, you to cut Norwell. They 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:35.040 could have cut those guys. So that's where they believe 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:39.040 that they're a good NFL team. You know, most teams 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.359 that are horrible have horrible offensive line because they came 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:44.440 to a quarterback. There's fumbles, it's a mess. You can't 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:49.280 control anything on offense. If they're right, and the offensive 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:52.119 line make the jump and is a solid unit and 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:55.960 acknowledge is really really good, then maybe they can function 0:19:56.000 --> 0:20:00.440 offensively enough to be a legitimate contending team. That's where 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:03.720 they're you know, that's what they're hanging their hats on. 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:08.040 And fans don't get that because if this widespread belief 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:10.840 that the offensive line is terrible, whoever is right on 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:13.680 that maybe the key to figuring out where this season 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:22.000 is going. Yeah, John talks about the offensive lines. JP 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:25.760 is really important that we understand there's a part of 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:28.919 that interior line that is very experienced. Being able to 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:31.320 control the point of attack is so critical. If they 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:35.520 can run the ball, slow the game down, limit the possessions. 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:37.480 I think that's the way that they have to play. 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:40.640 They wanted the game to have fewer possessions, not more possessions, 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:45.879 given the firepower and some of the defensive struggles. The 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:51.360 thing is it begins, that's right, that's right. They better 0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:55.320 be right in the path. I get why fans are skeptical, 0:20:55.359 --> 0:21:00.840 but that's their thoughts. We'll see. Um, that's that's where 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:03.960 it begins. And then of course Gardner Minshew has the 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:06.840 deal the cards the right way. Once the ball is snapped, 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:10.600 and you know, and he he said it last week 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:16.240 when when when he spoke last that I liked his 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:18.920 approach on it. You know, if we're tanking, then if 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:21.280 if that stuff is happening and I'm out of a job, 0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:24.200 Dave's out of a job, Dougs out of a job. 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.400 He kind of threw it out there, which is kind 0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:29.440 of his style and how it works. So there, there's 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:33.560 certainly is already pressure on Gardner, but um in this 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:35.480 new offense, if he can get it out, if he 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:37.879 can get it to some of these guys outside Bucky, 0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:41.000 it feels like they've got some playmakers if they could 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:43.840 just get the ball in their hands out there. Yeah, 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:45.800 I think the way that you described going to Mitsu 0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:47.960 is the best way for him to play. He needs 0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:50.639 to be a Vegas card dealer. He has to distribute 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:53.080
