WEBVTT - Ep. 85: Predictions for Friday Night Preseason Finale 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:17.920 Welcome into jag Zam. It's Thursday, August twenty second. We're 0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:21.120 getting ready for the third and final preseason game of 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:24.320 the year. Welcome to jag Zam. This morning. Brian Texton 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:26.439 and John Osier are with me as we're getting ready 0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:29.000 to get ready for that final game. Big thing number 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.120 one is the final tune up. We mentioned that the 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:33.760 starters are expected to go about a half in this game, 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:36.440 but Atlanta not playing any starters. So, Brian, what are 0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:38.199 you gonna be focused on out there? Because they're not 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.400 going up against the first ring Atlanta team, But what 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:42.240 are you gonna focus about for our team? 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:44.680 Well, my expectations and I'm sure they're the same for 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:46.760 Doug and his coaching staff, or that we play well 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:47.400 so to speak. 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.279 Right, the offensive line has a degree of cohesion. 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.519 It's the first time we'll see all five of them 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.840 out there throughout camp. I want to see the defense 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.320 play fast like they have. I want to see my 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:03.760 special teams perform at a regular season level, even though 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:07.280 I'm only playing against twos and threes if that, because 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.920 last week in Baltimore, the Falcons sat a lot more 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:11.959 than just their starters. I want to make sure that 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:13.520 we're out there doing what we do. 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:18.039 If I'm Doug Peterson, yeah, I think the big storyline, 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.520 I don't know if we'll be able to judge it 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.280 that well, but is in fact that the five stars 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:24.840 in the offensive line are all playing together for the 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:29.000 first time. So I think they'll probably get a little 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.839 more of an extended run than they might normally because 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:34.759 it's the first time these guys have all played together. 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.160 I would expect because it's the first time, there to 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.800 be some hiccups. You'd like those guys to be coming 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:45.040 out of this game saying, Okay, we got all that aside. 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:46.880 We're ready for the regular season as close as you 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:47.200 can be. 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.760 And I do sort of wonder if maybe you get 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:56.720 Mac Jones a series or two with those guys after 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:58.840 Trevor's had a chance at him. I don't know that, 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.280 but it wouldn't supprize you if they sort of took 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:01.640 that tack. 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:03.120 You know, if I go back to last year's third 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:06.200 preseason game, John, they did pull Trevor in the second quarter. 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.480 He didn't go into the third, which. 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:09.560 Is, you know, kind of how you like to do 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.239 that last tune up before guys sit for a couple 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.160 of weeks. I wouldn't be surprised at all. In fact, 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.160 I think I would do it because he showed you 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.679 last week when he started what he's capable of. You 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.640 might as well get him some reps because if things 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.720 go right, he gets no reps with the ones the 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:23.320 rest of the way. 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:25.880 With the end of the preseason coming up, that means 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.240 we're gonna be looking at final roster cuts. So our 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.120 second big thing today is gonna be the fifty three. 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.720 That fifty three man roster cut down is on Tuesday 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.240 at four pm, John, I think most of it's probably 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.480 sat in stone at this point. But which group, if any, 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.480 do you think will be the hardest decisions to make. 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:44.720 On his It's it's tough because I think there's a 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:49.600 decision he made maybe six wide receiver deep. 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.440 Into the offensive and defensive lines. 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.440 But the reality also these days is once you get 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.560 to that spot, then there's a high percentage chance that 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.640 these guys you are gonna be on the practice squad 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:01.800 and coming in and off the roster. 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.040 So I'm not trying to avoid the question. 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.280 I just don't think as much about that hard fifty 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.400 three as maybe I did in nineteen ninety nine, when 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.639 when you shook these guys' hands, you were saying goodbye 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.000 to him. Now you're saying, hey, we'll see you next week. 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:16.680 And you know you're not making as much money as 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:17.919 you were, but you're so doing okay. 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:18.959 Yes, So. 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.680 I do think Brian, that the offensive line has some 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.440 interesting decisions on who they keep, who they try to develop, 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:29.519 who they have to protect. 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:31.200 I think those are the decisions. 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.800 Who are you going to let go and can we 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:34.760 get these guys back. 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.640 I'll give you two names that I think will be difficult. 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.720 One is Juvon Foster, the fourth round pick from Massou, 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.080 who has looked good on the training camp field and 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.040 has played well at times, but probably not ready to 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.600 help you. However, if you try to move him off 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.880 the roster and get him to the practice squad, you 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.560 risk losing him and big guys with potential, and I 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.400 think I've mentioned my conversation with Tony Biselli about him 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.760 three or four times, where BISSELLI was really impressed with 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.440 his feet, and that says something. Big guys with potential, 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.520 especially on the offensive line, they're hard to get to 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.320 the practice squad and they're hard to keep on the 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.400 practice squad. The other is Jordan Jefferson. We didn't see 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.240 enough from the young defensive tackle from LSU over the 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.040 course of camp because he wasn't healthy. But last week 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.480 in the game against the Buccaneers, he flashed. He made 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.880 a couple of plays. Again, big guys with potential don't 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.280 last on the practice squad. Well, that means maybe you're 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.839 trying to keep nine defensive linemen and ten offensive linemen. 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.680 Those two guys right there, at least to my way 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:32.120 of thinking, could complicate the conversations when they get into 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:33.400 those meetings early next week. 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.920 Yeah, I'd be surprised, kay, if those two aren't on 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.080 the team. I've heard that, but I'd be surprised for 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.400 the very reasons Brian said. If you exposed von Foster 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.200 fourth round pick, with that kind of size and ability, 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.120 he'll be gone in five minutes. 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:49.719 Let me complicate things a little further with our final 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.160 big thing, which is additions. Now, Brian, you talked a 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:53.480 little bit about what they're going to do with the 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.600 young guys, but also when other teams are cutting down 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.320 their fifty three, that means other people are going to 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.719 be available. Do you think there's a position group of 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:02.800 need that maybe the Jaguars are gonna be looking at 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:04.360 to try to grab somebody off the wave of wire, 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:04.720 you know it. 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.040 To be honest with you, I don't. I think the 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.400 obvious would be, well, you always want more pass rush. 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:11.360 But let's be honest. 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.920 When they cut players, they're not cutting players who rush 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.200 the passer really well. They're not letting those guys go. 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:21.920 And you signed a guy Trevis Gibson, who had been 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.400 with Bill Shoeley in the past, to be your third 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.960 pass rusher. You're not gonna go gamble on somebody that 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:30.240 the Seahawks or Cardinals or Patriots let go just because 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:32.680 you didn't quite see enough and you think maybe this 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.640 guy might be an upgrade. Those guys aren't sitting out there. 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:37.719 So I'll be honest with you, I think this roster 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.520 is in really good shape. You'd like these young guys 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:42.719 to develop, and I don't think i'd go bring anybody 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:46.640 in unless unless it was just absolutely a shocking name. 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.200 Yeah, you might see it at one spot. I can't 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.159 even tell you what spot it would be because I 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.200 feel like what Trevor said yesterday. 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:55.039 Is the deepest team. 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:59.920 This group mean, Trent Doug Trevor, that bunch has had here, 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.039 so no position stands out as hey, they need to 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.360 go get this. And there's a reality these days. I 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:10.360 think we talked about in the show that teams are 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.599 developing their guys, and they spend so much time during 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.320 the off season developing their guys that they get them 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.880 in their system. I don't think you'll see the Jaguars 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.039 go after guys on other teams if they're even close 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.080 to the guys they've already developed, because they know these 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.760 guys here, So I don't expect too much movement on 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.960 that front on Tuesday into Wednesday next week. 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:33.560 Stay with us here on JAGSA. I'm coming up after 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:35.520 the break. We'll hear but from QB one as we 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:43.320 get ready to take on the Falcons. Jag Zam brought 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.200 to you by Field's Auto, Jacksonville's premier luxury auto group. 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:52.120 Go to Fieldsauto dot com. Welcome back in with us. 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.360 We're getting ready for the final preseason game of the year. 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.200 It's gonna be in Atlanta. We head out today a 0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:00.240 little over twenty four hours until kickoff. And you heard 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.719 from QB one yesterday Trevor kind of discussing I know 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:04.840 you guys alluded to this already, but he said this 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.320 is one of the most talented rosters that he's played with. 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.960 This is the most talented team for sure since since 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.160 I've been here, that we've had, and I think you 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.160 guys that watch it every day could probably say that 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:19.240 as well. So I feel really good. Obviously, that doesn't 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:20.840 win you the games, though. You got to go out 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.720 and play well and execute and put your best foot 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.120 forward every Sunday and keep your and stay focused on 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.000 the main goal is to go out there every series, 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.840 every play and go earn it. But as far as 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.680 a talent depth standpoint, I think this is the best 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.280 team we've had, definitely since I've been here. 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:38.840 John a lot of talent on the team, but doesn't 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:40.480 mean anything if they don't go out and win. So 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.200 how much pressure does this put on the situation? Obviously 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.160 it's his fourth year here and kind of progressing every year, 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.680 but now it's kind of expected with expectation. 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.760 I think there was gonna be pressure anyway with from 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.920 outside with the contract, with the fourth year thing that 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.240 I think I'm assuming his thought is, well, it's gonna 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.160 be pressure. I may as well have of you know, 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.080 the guys to go do it with that I trust 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.200 and believe in. And I get the feeling. And I 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:07.640 haven't had a chance to talk to him about this, 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.560 but I'm not even sure he would be honest, because 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.960 you don't insult the past stuff. But I think he 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:17.960 looks around and sees Gabe Davis, Brian Thomas Junior coming on, 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:25.800 Christian Parker Washington, Evan Ingram, Tank Bigsby, Travis Etn. This 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:30.680 feels like a group the twenty two team was really 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.480 going at the end, and that receiver group meshed and 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.280 you feel like they had something. But I think he 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.079 looks around and says, this is the best bunch of 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.199 skill guys, and not to leave the offensive line out 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:43.600 of just saying that bunch. I get the feeling the 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:47.400 receivers are gonna mesh, and I think they're excited about 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.360 what that might be in three or four weeks. 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:50.440 You know, just to go a little deeper on that. 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:54.040 There are also some guys like Deandis Johnson who has 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.800 a role, you know, who at times has been impactful. 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.000 And I keep hearing that at some point when Kilan 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.600 Robinson gets on and he's been struggling with the toe injury. 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:03.600 He's the same thing. 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.640 And then Brenton Strangers had a pretty good camp and 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:10.000 he's a guy there are just those were guys that 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.120 were always, you know, key backups like number two's and 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.520 now you're looking down and going well number three sor 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.200 if the guy's injured, they've got real depth here. But 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:19.880 it does all come back to him. As I look 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:21.719 at the roster, I think it's really good. I think 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:23.800 they've done a nice job putting the pieces together. And 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:25.160 it's on the quarterback. 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:26.800 It is, and it's also going to be on the 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.800 excuse me, offensive line. Because we've talked about them a bunch. 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:31.320 This is the first time we'll see all five of 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.000 them together. Trevor talked about that. 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.640 Definitely, just everybody, I mean, especially the guys up front 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:40.680 and feel in the pocket and get that's you know, 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:42.800 because I don't get hit out here and there it's 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.120 in the game. It's a different sense of urgency as 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.320 far as my time clock getting the ball out and 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.840 also just seeing different pressures and stuff, because there's sometimes 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.000 in practice you'll get you you'll get beat on a 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.280 pressure like I don't see it, and they bring they 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.959 make us hot, and in practice it's like I'm hot 0:09:58.160 --> 0:09:59.679 in the game. It's like I gotta get out. I'm 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.280 gonna get smoked if I don't get out of here. 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.880 So all those different things, it just feels different. So 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:05.920 I think it's good to have your starting line and 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.760 to feel the pocket and to move around and kind 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:10.480 of test some of your protections as well, Like you 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.360 do some new stuff and you want to see how 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:13.800 it holds up against the live Look. 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:16.559 Right, this first time we're going to see that starting 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:20.120 offensive five together playing with each other. Trevor got banged 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:21.480 up at the end of last year. Some of that's 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:22.640 his own fault for running around. 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.640 But I'm focused on left tackle. I'm focused on a 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:30.040 left tackle because Walker Little last year gave up the 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:33.120 pressure in the Cincinnati game on which he hurt his ankle, 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:39.800 and at the season finale, Cam Robinson, just be honest, 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.000 was horrible against arden Key. He just had a terrible day. 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:48.240 These are guys who are highly paid, who are great 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.839 athletes and capable of playing at a very high level. 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.280 If Trevor is going to be able to stand in 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.319 the pocket this year, that left tackle is going to 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.720 have to stand up. And both of these are guys 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.280 who are in important years for them right because it's 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:02.960 the last year of each of their contracts. 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:04.199 So left tackle. 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.600 I know everyone's focused on center and left, right guard 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.800 or even left guard, but left tackle, to me is 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.240 where I'm going to focus my attention tomorrow night and 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.760 then early in the season because they have two very 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.240 good left tackles who at times did not play very 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:17.760 good last year and they need them to. 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:19.360 There's a lot to choose from. 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.199 I mean, a part of me thinks, you know, we've 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.320 talked about the offensive line so much for a year 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.440 that I just kind of want to shut up and 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:29.360 watch them on Friday. But you know, I think it's 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:33.720 fair to watch the interior. They signed Mitch Morse, but 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.360 Brandon Sheriff has been hurt most of the time he's 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.200 been here. Ezra Cleveland's new, and the interior is at 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.880 the topic last year. I have faith that I have 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.520 seen these two right and left tackles play at a 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:47.280 high enough level. 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.160 They know that I know they can do it. 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:53.320 I haven't seen this interior bunch play together and do 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:54.400 what they need to do, So that's. 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:54.880 What I'll be watching. 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:56.959 How long does it take to get that down? I mean, 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.160 they talk about it being so important and we haven't 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.200 seen them all together. So is one game gonna do it? 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:02.720 Or is it gonna be in the season. They're figuring 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:03.280 it out. 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.160 Probably degrees. I mean I I I I I. 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:07.959 Even Mitch Morris, when he spoke to the media a 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:11.120 couple of weeks back, talked about how difficult it is 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.760 for an offensive line and the way you prepare it 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.840 in the NFL these days because you don't have a 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.319 lot of contact situations, and he even Press Taylor's talked 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:21.600 about it on the podium a couple of times. 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.000 You just can't judge what they do until. 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.360 You see them going live, full contact, and that's where 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.600 you get chemistry. So you hope they're okay to start 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:31.920 and then a lot better at the end. 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.559 If they all play close to their potential, it'd be 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.440 a really good offensive line, but we won't know that. 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.160 And then you've got Mitch Morse in the middle of it, 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.000 who's was brought in to be a leader as well 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.440 as you know, a road grader upfront, and he's got 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.920 to figure out and he has to be in the 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:51.240 live bullets to figure that out. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.120 We're gonna see it all in action on Friday night 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.560 against Atlanta. Say with us here on Jagsam, we get 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.560 ready to tell you who we're looking at as key 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:06.720 players in that game on Friday. Said at this Floria's 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.199 Trusted and Reliable Moving company said it is proud to 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.640 be the official moving company of the Jacksonville Jaguars. To 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:15.600 get a guaranteed quote, visit suttith dot com slash Jacks. 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.880 All right, guys, and finally have reached the end of 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.800 the preseason almost we have our final game on Friday 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.679 in Atlanta against the Falcons. We're gonna travel today, so 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.000 we're looking ahead. Who are some names we know the 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.080 starters will be in at least the first quarter, hopefully 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.160 the whole first half. Who's somebody you're looking at in 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:32.520 this game? 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.560 Brand look at a chat Muma because the move to 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:39.120 the strong side backer. He was an inside backer in 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.920 the three to four scheme and in Ryan Nielsen's new scheme, 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.360 he's a four to three and Pier is well suited 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.600 for the guy who plays up on the line of scrimmage. 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:48.960 And I think he will continue to make his case 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.960 for it in his third season. It won't be a 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.960 given though, because your sir of Doulah is also making 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.240 a transition right. He was more of an edge rusher 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:01.760 outside linebacker in the job Allen Mold last year as 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.840 a rookie, because that's what he did at Louisville. But 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.200 he was on the line of scrimmage last week, made 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.960 a nice job to shed the tackle and duck in 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.240 underneath and make the play on the running back at 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.360 the line of scrimmage. And he's a guy who's really 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.720 starting to grasp what they want him to do on 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.560 the strong side. But I think Chad Mumma might be 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:24.000 in a position to really have an impactful year. He 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:27.040 is a sure tackler as you just saw right there, 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:31.680 and is a guy who has a lot of I 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:33.480 say this to people, go I can't make a comparison, 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.240 but he has a lot of the puzz lesniy traits 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.720 in terms of his the way that he studies the game, 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.000 the way that he understands where to be. He gets 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:45.000 the most out of his ability because of his work 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.960 ethic and Paul pus Leslie did that so masterfully, always 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:50.880 put himself in a position to make a play. And 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.480 I see a lot of those traits again, traits not 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:57.080 saying he's Gulfos Lesnie. It's not a comparison, it's just 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:58.640 looking and being able to see a. 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:00.560 Couple of traits, thank you, compared to pause. 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.000 But I think he would not be listening to me though. 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:09.160 He mom is interesting because when you watched him in college, 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.920 and you can't compare his level in college that he 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:13.080 played against the NFL. 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:14.360 But there were traits. 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:18.120 As Brian said, this guy ran, he hit, He made 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:22.320 big time speed athletic plays that hasn't really shown up 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.600 in the NFL. And I guess he's playing against faster competition. 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:28.720 But I expected more flash the first two years. We've 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:30.960 seen that a little more now. So you get the 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.640 idea that you know, some guys when they come into 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.280 the league, he say, well, scheme fit, and that's not 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.760 really what it is. They just can't play with him. 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.080 You think, well, maybe he fits this scheme. And I'm 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.280 with Brian. I think he could be an interesting guy 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:42.760 this season. 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.640 He told me on on What Is Today? 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.560 He told me on Tuesday that he really thinks that 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:50.880 that sam linebacker spot, that strong side outside linebacker spot 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:52.120 is what fits him best. 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:59.480 I went with Gabe Davis and he will on Friday, 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.280 I think he'll make a play every time there's been 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:08.040 a big moment situation in the preseason. Between preseason games 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.320 and a couple of practices, it seems like Trevor gets 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.600 him the ball in situations and he makes a play. 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:15.760 He had a couple of. 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:24.080 The nicest gain translatable receptions in practice during training camp 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:27.200 that I remember, So I think he, you know, he 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.240 won't get to show everything that he can do. Trevor 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.760 talked about this week that Trevor thinks he has a 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:37.680 lot more in him than he showed in Buffalo, a 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.640 lot more versatility, and so I don't think he'll get 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:42.720 a chance to show all that. But I was thinking 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.440 about that this week with Gabe, that he might be 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.640 the most important piece of this offense in the sense 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.840 that you sort of know what you think Brian Thomas 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.120 is gonna give you, you know what Christian Kirschman give you. 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.120 Evan Ingram Travis ETN. 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:00.880 I think people don't quite know to expect from Gay 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:02.720 to think he's a deep ball guy because he had 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:04.600 the big yards per reception in Buffalo. 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:07.520 They seem to think that he can be. 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.400 A lot more versatile and a lot more involved in 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:14.280 all of it. So he's very interesting to me as 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:18.400 the season starts, how he's gonna look and how he's 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:19.520 gonna matter to this offense. 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.919 He is as fearless a guy in the middle of 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.119 the field as I have seen around here in a 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:26.359 long time. He reminds me in that respect to make 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:28.960 a comparison to Keenan McCardell. 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:32.440 Who pausing. Keenan, yeah, all coming back here, who never never. 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.080 Shied away from the middle of the field. And I 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.640 watched him a couple of routes this week go right 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:40.000 through the middle. I mean right where guys get el 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:44.640 caboond and not down and made great catches and run 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:46.840 after the catch. So he's not just looking to get 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:48.720 the ball and get down, He's looking to get up 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:50.320 the field. He's a complete receiver. 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.639 Well, first, nobody wants to get all Cabald and second, 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.399 as you know, Brian, the keen of comparison is interesting 0:17:56.920 --> 0:18:00.359 because when Keenan came in, he had a little bit 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.080 of a name, and he had been good in Cleveland 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:08.359 but hadn't reached great. So Gabe Davis might be the 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:10.560 same kind of opportunity where you find your fit at 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:11.400 your next franchise. 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:12.400 Very exciting. 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:13.800 I'm gonna go to the defensive side of the ball 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.640
