1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: Jeff Warris, did you don't Jack, Jack Morris? Did you 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: know Jack Warris drive Time? Ryan sex sext John, Actually, 3 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: Jack Warris drive Time starts right now. Really just trying 4 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: to to take the team and put the best team 5 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: together for what we've seen in our practices. So, you know, 6 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I just felt that 7 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: was the best decision for us as a team. I 8 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: think it gives us the best opportunity, um, with the 9 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: skill sets that we have with the other players in there. Um, 10 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: I just thought that that was the best for the team. 11 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: And doing it now. Um, we exhausted, you know, all 12 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: trade opportunities. We weren't able to get anything there. Um, 13 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: So I just felt that, you know, now we can 14 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: you know, work on the team and the plan and 15 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: get ourselves ready for the season. Jaguars head coach Doug 16 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: Baron explained the coaching staff's decision to wave a Leonard 17 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: for Net Shocking News on a Monday morning. It was 18 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: live on our show. We found out. We talked all 19 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: about that before hearing from head coach Doug mor own 20 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: Monday afternoon. So guys, let's not harp too much about this. 21 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: Bringing in Brian Sexton and John Osier. We're gonna talk 22 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: much more about this and big things for Net not 23 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: no longer with the team. But guys, Monday morning obviously 24 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: was shocking news. Brian, how is your opinion changed on 25 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: the matter now that we've heard from head coach Doug 26 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: Morrow and we've heard from running back coach Terry Robiski. 27 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: How has that opinion changed since we heard the shocking 28 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: news Monday. Well, I'll tell you what changed. So you 29 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: and I had a conversation on Sunday night about Hot 30 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: Takes Right, which is a segment in the show, And 31 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: I told you the one I really wanted to do 32 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: was that the Trevor Lawrence issue was going to be 33 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: the most pressing issue around the Jaguars this year. But 34 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: it was a little early to bring that into play. 35 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: Let's give Gardner Minshew a chance. So I went with 36 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: something and I'll unveiled that here a minute. Really, though, 37 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: when the Jaguars cut Leonard for Nett on Monday, they 38 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: put the Trevor Lawrence card into play. I know Doug 39 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: and Dave said they didn't. That wasn't their intention. Totally 40 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: get it. They can't worry about that. But this show 41 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: and shows like it, and social media will now drive 42 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: that thing forward, so it's into play, and while it's 43 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: in play, it just puts the onus even more on 44 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: Gardner minshow I mean, he already had a lot to 45 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: climb over to prove that he is a franchise quarterback. 46 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,399 Speaker 1: No offseason, a different season with COVID nineteen. Now this 47 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: everyone's saying, well, there's Trevor Lawrence up the road. If 48 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: it's not going to be you trust me, that's a 49 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: lot of pressure. It's one more bolder for this kid 50 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: to try and climb over, and you know, it's it's 51 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: like tying an arm behind his back. But we all 52 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: know Gardner and that's kind of the way he seems 53 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: to like it. John, I know you were definitely shocked 54 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: on Monday morning. How has your opinion changed maybe now 55 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: that we've had two days kind of try to divulge 56 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: all of this. Well, I was shocked because you figured, 57 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: if they're gonna move for net, it would have been 58 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: around the draft, to do it, after he had gotten 59 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: all the first team reps, after or not all but 60 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: a lot of the first team reps. Uh to do 61 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: it two or three weeks into training camp, it was jolting. 62 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: It was a surprise. Um, you know it the more 63 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: you think about it, Um, I get that everybody wants 64 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: to take this off the field, and I'm sure there 65 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: were some off the field elements to it, but the 66 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: reality with four Nett is for the last couple of years, 67 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: he really has not been to make you miss guy. 68 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: He has not been a big play guy. And it 69 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: would not surprise me if they make up the production 70 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: that he had this regular season. So, um, it's gonna 71 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: make the Trevor Lawrence thing a factor. But I I 72 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: honestly don't believe that with Doug and Dave that they 73 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: were saying, Okay, we're going to try to get worse 74 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: so that we don't win games this year? Did did 75 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: put more onus on Gardner? Minshew? Yeah, But as Brian said, 76 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: I think he likes that, and I think the team 77 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: really believes that this will help them win. As strange 78 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: as that is for people to believe who thought that 79 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette was a bell cow player, It's definitely strange. 80 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: But now that we've heard from head coach Doug Roan 81 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: and running back coach and players, it definitely seems like 82 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: this new offensive system under Jay Gruden is more back, 83 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: more about running back through Mittie, that ground and pound 84 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: running back that Leonard four Nette was in the offensive 85 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: system that it was in two thousand seventeen. Really no 86 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: longer is the vibe here in Jacksonville. So now that 87 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: it's definitely making more sense two days into him, as 88 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: we get into big things. Big thing one is what 89 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: just happened Monday morning at the time, very shocking news 90 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: about Leonard. For net, like we've discussed, Monday went on 91 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: as a usual day of practice with meetings, but teamm 92 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: we're not shy about how surprised they were about the 93 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: news as well. Yeah, we were shocked about it. Um, 94 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: he came in the room a couple of minutes before 95 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: our team meeting and let us know that he had 96 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: got released. We didn't believe it. We thought he was 97 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: joking because you know, he laughed and jokes with us 98 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: all the time. And it wasn't really until Coach Maron 99 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: said it in the team meeting that we really believed it, 100 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: and um, you know, it was a shocker for everybody. 101 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: The move was just different that day or different yesterday 102 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: at practice, but um, you know it's the NFL and um, 103 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: we just have to rock with the decisions that's being made. 104 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: That was better in running back Chris Thompson dressing the 105 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: fre Net news. A big thing too is now what 106 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: we have covered the for net news, we are putting 107 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: it to bed breaking news over. Let's move forward now 108 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: with what this running back room is right now. Chris Thompson, 109 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: the veteran in the room, mcquell Arms said divine exebo 110 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: and James Robinson has deaf only flash and training camp 111 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: an undrafted rookie right now, but definitely it's turning heads 112 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: and camp. So running back Terry Robiski says after this 113 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: news there's a newfound drive in the running back room. 114 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: Looks like a bunch of fresh guys. You know, just 115 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: a bunch of big guy guys that's uh, that's glaring 116 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: the gold. Just one opportunity they want. They wanted an opportunity, 117 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: and I think they feel the opportunities there and a 118 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: group of guys that, um, I think a group of 119 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: guys that's ready to go meet the challenge, uh, you know, 120 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: go prove themselves. And because everybody in life wants an opportunity, 121 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: I got a group of guys that's uh, that's got 122 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: a shot. They've got an opportunity here and it's uh 123 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: uh it's right before there great opportunity for all four 124 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: of those running backs now in the Jaguars running back room. Sobrian, 125 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: let's go to you. We just talked about Ja Groud 126 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: in this new offensive system, he believes in spreading out 127 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: the ball way more passing. Is now frankly obvious that 128 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: they're building this offense around Gardner minshew, And now you're 129 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: gonna go see a running act by committee instead of 130 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: that one ground and found star running back. Are you 131 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: agreeing with this move? And what do you think of 132 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: this offense right now? Well, look, I mean I understand 133 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,679 Speaker 1: the move, but I disagree with the idea that Leonard 134 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: Fournette couldn't succeed in this offense. He caught seventies six 135 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: passes last year for five and twenty two yards. I mean, 136 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: it is not as if he was incapable of being 137 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: part of a passing offense. In fact, I thought maybe 138 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: he was more productive as a receiver than a runner 139 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: because it got him into the open space. He wasn't 140 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: a guy that could He didn't have the feet necessarily 141 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: to find seams and exploit them. It got him moving 142 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: downhill faster. So I don't necessarily agree. I tend to 143 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: think he isn't here anymore because of some personality issues. Uh, 144 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: you know, whatever the reason is. I don't buy that 145 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: he couldn't fit in this offense. I just think that 146 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: they decided, you know what, we've got a couple of 147 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: other guys. We like, we're gonna go with it, We're 148 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: gonna move on, and we're gonna try to figure out 149 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: what the future is. Because I don't think he was 150 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: going to be here in in any way. Yeah, Helynne. 151 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: Here's the bottom line. They didn't think Leonard Fournette was 152 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: that good. If they did, they wouldn't have cut him. 153 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: So I think they they believe that these guys James 154 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: Robinson in practice has looked as good as for Nette. 155 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: Uh As Zebos looks a good for Nette. Now that's 156 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: practice where you're non contact and all those things that 157 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: has splay out on the field. But Leonard Fournette was 158 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: not an elite back and they think they can get 159 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: a production by committee, you know, out of all this. Amazingly, 160 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: here's what Leonard Fernette did. He made a unique in 161 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: Gockaway not a news story when he got drened. Unique 162 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: being out of here will hurt. There will be games 163 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: that they don't win, or John freezing up on us 164 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: on a little on this one. Nothing we can't handle. Well. Look, 165 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: if you're looking for a reason to believe that they 166 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: can be very productive in the running back room, look 167 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: no further than Philip Lindsay, the Denver Broncos young running 168 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: back who has had a thousand yards season and has 169 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: been incredibly productive, was an undrafted rookie. So you can 170 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: find guys like that who can do things on the field. 171 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: And look, the history books of the NFL are littered 172 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: with running backs who come in and make a name 173 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: for themselves and are productive. Did they last a long time? 174 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: Are they Pro Bowl? All pro kind of players? Know? 175 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: But the player that you need the most to be 176 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: that players, your quarterback and the running acts need to 177 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: fit the system. They need to be able to do 178 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: the things that Jay Gruden wants to get done. And 179 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: he obviously thinks he can get that done with a 180 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: guy like a James Robinson, with with Zig, with these 181 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: other guys.

Definitely, if I would have caught that, 217 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: it would have been the cherry on top per se 218 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: of of the day for me. So um, I'm gonna 219 00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: have to look at that one on film and figure 220 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: out why I didn't come down with it because I 221 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: would have completed my day personally, So I gotta clean 222 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: that up. But I am happy with, you know, the 223 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: other catches and other plays I made. But like I said, 224 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: I'm all about getting better, so I gotta continue to 225 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: get better. Um. Listen to you know coach McCardell. He 226 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: played for seventeen years. A great coach to UM, and 227 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: I'm always learning from the older receivers in the room. 228 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: Wide receiver Colin Johnson out of Texas nearly two touchdowns 229 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: and Saturday scrimmage. But we haven't had the chance to 230 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: talk a lot about Saturday scrimmage with all of this 231 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: breaking news going on. But he almost comes down with 232 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: an unbelievable catch to end the scrimmage. If you do 233 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 1: not know about this guy, you're going to hear about him. 234 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: Colin Johnson absolutely the standout in training camp so far 235 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: as we can into a segment of who stood out 236 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: in Saturday scrimmage. Brian, let's go to you the guy 237 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: we just heard from, Colin Johnson. What have you seen 238 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,959 Speaker 1: from him? Well, look, I mentioned this when they drafted him, 239 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: but they always wanted a big red zone receiver, the 240 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: guy who could go up above everyone else and get 241 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: the fade, and they they look for that guy fifteen 242 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 1: years ago with Matt Jones right, and if Matt had 243 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: been able to do this, the Jaguars might have played 244 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: in another a f C championship game in the two 245 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: thousand and seventh season. So I've always been looking for 246 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: this guy. He's huge, he's got length, he has timing. 247 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: This is when he did at Texas. He knows how 248 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: and when to go and get the ball. He's got 249 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: great body control. He's a top competitor. He wants every 250 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: single ball. Um. You just listen to him. Such a bright, 251 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: articulate young man, a guy who is able to tell 252 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: you what he wants to do. He's been thinking about this, 253 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: He's got his own goals. I mean, I just I 254 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: think he's the complete package. And I say that because 255 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: I've watched him on special teams. And I know most 256 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: people don't pay attention to special teams, but that's where 257 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: this kid is really going to make a breakthrough. A 258 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, DJ Jark, when he was a rookie, 259 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: had a forgettable season as a receiver, but a very 260 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: memorable one as a gunner on teams. With his size, 261 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: with his length, with his speed, he got down the 262 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: field and created havoc like forcing that botched punt in 263 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: Houston on the final Sunday of the regular season. This 264 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: guy had been playing like that. If they get that 265 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: kind of contribution from Colin Johnson, right a late round pick, 266 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: that's enough this year. Everything else is gravy, and I 267 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: think you're gonna have plenty of gravy to poor because 268 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: this guy's gonna make some of those catches. Um, he's 269 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: been phenomenal. Everyone seeing the trick catches. I think the 270 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: special teams is the part that probably excites me the 271 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: most because it shows you that this kid is willing 272 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: to do whatever it takes to be his very best 273 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: and he eventually will be that guy in the offense. Yeah, 274 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: Brian couldn't agree more. And it definitely reminds me about 275 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: two years ago with d J Chart what an impact 276 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: he made on special teams. We saw the potential with 277 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: him when he first came in here. I saw how 278 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: hard he was working on special teams. So I'm definitely 279 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: seeing some similarities there. And in that video, if you're 280 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: watching on Jaguars dot com Live, you're seeing quarterback Jake 281 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: Jake Luton, who John has for his who stood out 282 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: definitely a guy who's throwing the ball very well in 283 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: camp so far, John well, he has and he looked 284 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: good in the scrimmage, and I remember thinking, this kid 285 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: looks like the best quarterback in the field right now, 286 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: and then he threw a really bad pick in the 287 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: red zone, which tells you, Okay, he's a six round rookie. 288 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: There's still a long way to go. But the reality is, 289 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: if you didn't know who the starting quarterback was and 290 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: all you did was watch practice, you would look at 291 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: Jake Lewton because of his size, because the way he throws, 292 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: the arms, strength, all that stuff. Even Gardner Mitchen, he 293 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: was talking about him last week, said, this guy's got 294 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: everything scouts one in a quarterback. What you don't know 295 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: about Luton the lights haven't been on yet. There has 296 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: been no real stuff going on. There's no games, there's 297 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: no defense coordinators preparing for him. So he's not the 298 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: best quarterback in camp. But he has shown more during 299 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: training camp to look good to stand out than any 300 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: quarterback I've seen around here since Gabbert. And what I 301 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: mean by that is all the quarterback stuff. Gabbert was 302 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: not good on the field once games started, but he 303 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: looked the part of an NFL quarterback. No kid has 304 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: looked the part of the NFL quarterback like Jake Luton yet, 305 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: So does he have that stuff on the field. I 306 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: don't know. We get a chance to find out this year, 307 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: but he is sure looked good in camp and some 308 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: of the balls he throws are big time NFL balls. 309 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: I got a feeling this kid at some point he 310 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: is going to contribute for this team. You know, it's 311 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: worth pointing out Ashland that Jake Lewton has shown more 312 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: in camp this summer than Gardner Minshew did last summer. 313 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: I mean I've said this before, but the night before 314 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: the Falcons preseason game last year, Doug Moreau thought that 315 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: he told us the Gardeners still had to prove that 316 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: he was going to be the backup quarterback with a 317 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: good performance in the preseason finale, right. I mean when 318 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: he walked onto the field an opening day, I turned 319 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: to Fred Taylor, I went season sunk because I hadn't 320 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: seen anything from the kid to make me think that 321 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: he could do it. So, you know, we've seen some 322 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: really positive things. Now is John just mentioned He's absolutely right. 323 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: What we haven't seen from him is can he do 324 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: it when the game is live? I mean, Gardner Minshew 325 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: clearly proved last year that he could get things done. Um, 326 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: But Luton has stood out much more than Minshew did 327 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,959 Speaker 1: in practice. Yeah. Absolutely, And I can't help but think 328 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: Johnny talk about the difference between the practice field looking 329 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: great with deep balls and then when the lights go 330 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 1: on a lot of times last season we were watching practice, 331 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: we said, Wow, Tanner Lee throws the best ball at practice, 332 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: and we saw him in the preseason when the lights 333 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: went on, it did not translate. So very curious if 334 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: Jake Luton does end up getting a chance at some 335 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: point this season, how that transfers over to a game field. 336 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: So very curious to keep an eye on that. My 337 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: who stood out, I'm going on the defensive side of 338 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: the ball. Linebacker Miles Jack was all over the running game, 339 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: especially during the first drive. Definitely Saturday's scrimmage like a 340 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: real game. Was juiced up, excited to be in the stadium. 341 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: Immediately as the ball was snapped. He was picking up 342 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: on the run very quickly along with middle linebacker Joe Schobert. 343 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: Their communication definitely is working. They need to have a 344 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: great connection. Miles Jack made multiple plays for a loss 345 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 1: and yards on Saturday scrimmage and seems to be extremely 346 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: confident in his new role. John Bryan. I think we're 347 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: not surprised at all by this. He figured once he 348 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: moves over to his more fluid role in the linebacker unit, 349 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: that he was going to succeed. Brian, what do you 350 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: think of Miles Jack on Saturday? Are you talking to me? 351 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: Ashley and I couldn't hear. I am yes, of all 352 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: alone here. Well, I thought he was good, and I 353 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: expect that he will be good. We've talked about this 354 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: throughout the last couple of months. You're talking about a 355 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: guy who is a natural playmaker. The interception in Pittsburgh, 356 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: the force fumble, fumble recovery should have scored in New England. Um, 357 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: it's what he does. But in the middle he was 358 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: never going to have that kind of an impact. And 359 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: so you know, now all of a sudden, you're gonna 360 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 1: ask him to go and do what he does best, 361 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: which is run to the football. So I would expect 362 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: this year you'll see multiple interceptions, You'll probably see multiple 363 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: fumble recoveries. I remember one in New York and where 364 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: he picked it up off the ground and went more 365 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: than seventy yards for the score. I'll go as farest 366 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: to say that Miles Jack may have two or three 367 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: defensive touchdowns this year. That's how strong I think he's 368 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: going to be in this new role. Yeah. The the 369 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: eyes of Miles Jack has been grossly exaggerated. Uh. The 370 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: people are tired of hearing it, because there's a co 371 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: plaint that stood out last year where he missed on 372 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: But he was not as bad in the middle as 373 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,719 Speaker 1: everybody wants to believe. Everybody knows he was making up 374 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: for guys he didn't know their assignments around him, things 375 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: like that. I agree he has a chance to be 376 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 1: outstanding a weak side linebacker. It's probably it's probably been 377 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: his ideal position, and he's been taken one for the 378 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: team a little bit playing out of position with because 379 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: Lesny being in the middle and with Telvin Smith. So um. 380 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any reason in the world why 381 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: he shouldn't be a Pro Bowl caliber linebacker. Well, the 382 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: Jaguars be good enough to get him name recognition, all 383 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: this stuff. I don't know, But I don't think there's 384 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: any reason in the world where he shouldn't have a 385 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: huge season. Uh. Probably lines up he and Josh Allen 386 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: the two favorites for a defensive m v P. Yeah, 387 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: but in green Wore definitely has a new found confidence 388 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: that seems much more com comfortable in this position. So 389 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: very curious to see how Miles Jack plays in season. 390 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: As we come back, we have some hot takes for 391 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: you here on Jaguars Drive Time.

Mac dj Shark miked up 431 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: during Saturday's a scrimmage. You can catch the full version 432 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: of that later on today on Jaguars dot Com, talking 433 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: about wanting to make plays. Definitely a guy that has 434 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: stood out during Saturday scrimmage. A beautiful touchdown pass from 435 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew after he calmed down and got it together 436 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 1: Saturday inside the stadium. As we get into some hot 437 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: takes here on Jaguars Drive Time, let's go ahead. Let's 438 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: start with Bryan. What do you got for us as 439 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: a hot take? Well, I gave him a hot take 440 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: off the top. Uh So this is the one who 441 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: came up with h Tyler ipert will be the difference 442 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: if the Jaguars are gonna win close games. Last year, 443 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: the Jaguars and fifty four catches fewer than five yards 444 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: and only three touchdowns from the tight end position. It 445 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: was essentially gone once James O'Shaughnessy went down in Carolina 446 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: in the middle of October. This guy by himself is 447 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: capable of putting up better numbers than that. He's a 448 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: lion and a gazelle, right, I mean, he's pure power 449 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. I think he's a terrific 450 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: inline blocker. But he is effortless when he's out in 451 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: the pattern. He's smooth. He knows where he's supposed to be, 452 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: and he turns those hips and gets up the field. 453 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 1: He's a guy that will move the chains, he will 454 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: exploit weaknesses, create matchup problems for opposing defenses. And better 455 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 1: than that, he's got a nose for the football in 456 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 1: the end zone. Before injuries took their toll on him 457 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: with the Bengals, he had a Pro Bowl season in 458 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: where he scored thirteen times. I'm not suggesting that he's 459 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: going to score thirteen times this year, but I think 460 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: he might put up the best numbers for the Jaguars 461 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: at the position since Mercedes Lewis did it when he 462 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: had ten touchdowns, or since cal Brady had sixty four 463 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: catches and nearly eight hundred yards all the way back 464 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: in two thousand. Right, So those are the two hallmark 465 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: seasons by a Jaguars tight end. I think he could 466 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: be better than either of them. I love to hear that. 467 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: Brian definitely already making plays during training camp along with 468 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: James O'Shaughnessy. We saw that connection with Gardner Minshew last season, 469 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: hoping that tight end room can finally get it figured 470 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 1: out and make an impact on the field. John, you 471 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: have the quarterback. Something to do with him for your 472 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: hot tape. Yeah, he's got to be better than he 473 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: was on Saturday. I mean it's it's uh, you always 474 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: sort of couch this with Minshow by remembering he was 475 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: not good in training camp last year. Uh, he really struggled. 476 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: He's good when the lights come on. He's good when 477 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: he's outside the pocket, making plays under duress. When it's real, 478 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,719 Speaker 1: he's very, very good. But you know, if you didn't 479 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: know all that Saturday would have been concerning. It was 480 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: the bad pick six that he threw to d J. Hayden. Uh. 481 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: He did not look accurate, did not look confident. All 482 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: that stuff. Now he came back and in some more 483 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: truncated work, more red zone type stuff, looked very good 484 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: at the end, which is what he does. If you 485 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 1: think about a lot of his his big moments last year, 486 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: came Okay, we didn't play very well in the first half, 487 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: came back against Oakland, a lot of comebacks, a lot 488 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: of pulling games out when you didn't think they were there. Um. 489 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: The issue is it's hard to win the NFL consistently 490 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 1: that way. He has to be more consistent than he 491 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 1: was last year and then he was Saturday. So I 492 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 1: believe he will, but it's gotta be better. I think 493 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: we should note Ashlyn and John that he's not going 494 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: to have the kind of defense that he's had. Um. 495 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: Not that that defense last year was his lights out 496 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,120 Speaker 1: and as it had been in seventeen and eighteen, but 497 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: you know, this pass rush is not going to be 498 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: the same without Unique and gonk Way. I know Josh Allen, 499 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: I know he was capable of, but you know offenses 500 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 1: are gonna gear their protections towards him, which means it's 501 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: gonna be Caleb and Chase on and to want smooth 502 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: that's not the same, and the coverage is gonna take 503 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: some time to get there too. C J. Henderson's a 504 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: terrific young athlete, but he's never played it down. So 505 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: if Gardner Minshew has to play from behind, right, it's 506 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: a totally different game. It's gonna be interesting to see 507 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: if he can do that. Yes, couldn't agree more definitely 508 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: at times concerning Saturday, But John, I think he made 509 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: a great point. When the lights come on, it's a 510 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: totally different ball game for dner minshew. So we will 511 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: see here and just a couple of weeks one week actually, 512 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: when the Colts comes down for the first game. Still 513 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: not used to that, all right. My hot take has 514 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: changed a little bit since Monday, but it still is 515 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: around the same thing, and that is running back James Robinson. 516 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: The running back committee is back, and keep an eye 517 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: on running back James Robinson did not only make the 518 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: team but create a major impact on this offense and 519 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: in the running back room. The coaching staff really likes 520 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: this guy out of Illinois State, forty four touchdowns in 521 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: his college career. A workhorse of course, big impact on 522 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: special teams so far. Joe d is always raving about him. 523 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: You can hear him from across the field. Of course, 524 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: Joji always yelling, so ah, he can't hide much from him. 525 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: So yes, James Robinson making a huge impact in training camp, 526 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: turning our heads for sure. I'm going as far to 527 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: say in my hot take, he makes the team. He 528 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: has an impact in the running back room. Wouldn't be 529 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: surprised you even see him start at times. Definitely keep 530 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: an eye on this guy going forward, running back by committee. 531 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: But maybe this guy takes more of the workforce. Brian, Well, 532 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: you know, he reminds me of a guy that we 533 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: had around here named Montell Owens, who was like the 534 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: ninth or tenth running back in Jack del Rio's first 535 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: couple of seasons, um and and and he made the 536 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: team because of special teams. And that's exactly what what's 537 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: what it looks like. James Robinson's gonna do you know? 538 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: Montell had some big plays here, fake punts and things 539 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: like that, scored some touchdowns. Uh, you need guys like this, 540 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: especially in the salary cap, right, You needed to come 541 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: on and be highly productive players that don't cost a 542 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: lot of money and evolved and developed. Montel became a 543 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: three time Pro Bowl special teamer. Hey, if you can 544 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: get that out of this kid, man, you're really doing something. Yeah, 545 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: I think they're looking at this guy is a lot 546 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: more than special teams. You know, I don't want to 547 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: say he's gonna be the starting running back, but I 548 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: think it's certainly up for consideration. I mean, he has 549 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: looked very, very good. He has college, carrying the ball 550 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: a lot, he's used to gaining on not just giving 551 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: us all kinds of problems. They certainly can have an 552 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: idea that he's gonna and and I've gotten a sense 553 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: he's going to have a role in the offense as well. 554 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: But a guy like that, every running back is going 555 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: to happen, and no one's going to be like Leonard 556 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: and not play special teams. This kid's gonna have to 557 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: make his mark on teams. Yeah. Absolutely, If running back 558 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: by committee means everyone's pulling some weights, we'll see how 559 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: that works. But definitely keep an eye on James Robinson 560 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: going forward, as those are our hot takes. When we 561 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: come back for a few short minutes on Jaguars Drive Time, 562 00:31:47,560 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: we preview the day coming up.
