1
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: Welcome into dag Ziyam. I'm kindan a Stephens here with

2
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: Brian Sexton and John Ogier as we get ready for

3
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: rookie Mini Caamp a little later on in the week.

4
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: But if you want to talk a little bit about

5
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: some moves that have been made since last week, our

6
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: first big thing, Number one is the wide receiver room.

7
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: At the beginning of last week's show, we told you

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: about Jay Jones being released, and of course you know

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas Jr. Was that first round pick. So, Brian,

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: how different is this wide receiver room going to be

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: this year? With also the legit of Calvinism.

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: I really can't speak to Ridley as much. Knowing Zay

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: like I did and understanding the dynamic that existed between

14
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: Kirk and Jones and the quarterback. I think it's going

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: to be interesting to not have Jones there. He was

16
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 2: one of those guys that you could always count on.

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: I mean, it just seemed the most difficult throws Jones

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: was there. And I go back to that game winning

19
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 2: or department game time drive against the Cowboys when Trevor

20
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: rolled out to his left and just knew right where

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: to put the ball. There's just a chemistry that existed there.

22
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: I don't think that the Ridley chemistry, you know, ever

23
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: even approached that. So now you've got Christian Kirk and

24
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: Evan Ingram who's not in the receiver's room, and you're

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: going to try to integrate Brian Thomas. It's gonna be

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: a storyline to watch, for sure.

27
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: John was a guy when young and new receivers weren't

28
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: quite sure what was going on could look to him,

29
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 3: and he knew exactly where every receiver on the field

30
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: was supposed to be, regardless of position. Look, I said

31
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 3: last week, I hoped against hope. I guess that they

32
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: would keep saying I liked cover him, like being around him,

33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 3: and I thought he gave you something at the same

34
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: time when he was not healthy in twenty twenty four,

35
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 3: I mean in twenty twenty three, he really wasn't there

36
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: to give that to you. In the NFL sometimes you

37
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 3: had to move on, but well it looked different. Yeah,

38
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: but it's gonna to be a room where everybody outside

39
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: the rookie really needs to be on the same page,

40
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: and then they bring the rookie along.

41
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: You know, A word to describe it was joy. I mean,

42
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: this guy loved to come to work, He loved to

43
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: be in the locker room around his teammates. Who's going

44
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: to be that lighthearted guy. We don't know Brian Thomas's

45
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: personality yet. Christian Kirk is a very low key, serious performer.

46
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: I don't know who's going to be that guy that

47
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: keeps it loose and fun, especially guy in the fourth

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: quarter when it's tight and a play needs to be made.

49
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 4: Who's that guy? I guess we're gonna find out.

50
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: Well, we do have Gabe Davis, and we know he

51
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: can make some big plays as to what we've seen

52
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, so that's always an option. Our second big

53
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: thing this week is look at him because as we mentioned, John,

54
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: I know this is your favorite time of year, but

55
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: what can you take away from rookie camp when all

56
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: the young guys come in and kind of see how

57
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: things are laid out?

58
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: Nothing? And when I say that, I mean what's going

59
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 3: on on the field, whether this guy is beating this

60
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: guy or catching touchdowns and any anything away. What you

61
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 3: don't want to see is guys where the scouts are

62
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: coming off the field going to know about that one

63
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: and that doesn't happen very often.

64
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 4: Anymore.

65
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: But basically this should be a week is what I'm

66
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: getting at, Brian, where you're just showing guys what it is,

67
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: what the NFL is. Okay, we'll see in a week

68
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 3: when OTAs start, we'll go over this again, go over

69
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 3: it again in training camp. This should be an initiation,

70
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: and I don't think you want to read too much

71
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: into it. If some kid doesn't look quite ready yet.

72
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: Oh, it's practice for practice, Kai, I mean, this is

73
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: where you're going to show these guys how you work

74
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: and what the expectations are, and just get them familiar

75
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: with the schoolhouse, so to speak. It's kind of a

76
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: first day of school experience for them. Know where the

77
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: bathrooms are and know where the lunch room is, understand

78
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: where the locker room is and the.

79
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 4: Quickest way out to the field.

80
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: There was a situation years ago where the Jaguars in

81
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety seven drafted an offensive lineman out of Colorado

82
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: State who walking off the practice field. One very high

83
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: profile offensive lineman once was heard say who is that guy?

84
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: He can't play at all? And you don't want that.

85
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: You want everybody to look the part.

86
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what lineman would have said that I

87
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: had might know him pretty well. Maybe our first, our final,

88
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: big thing today is going to be final additions. So,

89
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: because the draft is over, free agency obviously behind us,

90
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: is this the roster set that we're going to look at.

91
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure if he talks to the GM, they'll say

92
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: they're always looking for players. But Brian, do you think

93
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: this is kind of the roster we're going to see

94
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: going into the season with as much.

95
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 2: Money as they've got under the salary cap. I don't

96
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: think they're going to limit themselves if there's somebody out

97
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: there that makes sense.

98
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,239
Speaker 4: If there's someone that's cut during.

99
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: Training camp, you'd have to look at very specific positions,

100
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: and I think on the defensive side of the ball entirely.

101
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 4: A quarterback or a pass rusher.

102
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: Who can help that with Ryan Nielsen, and someone gets

103
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: cut somewhere he's been along the way Atlanta, maybe there

104
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: would be a guy there, So I would say, no,

105
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 2: I think there's still a guy or two here that's

106
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: going to come on and be a big time contributor

107
00:04:59,160 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: at some point.

108
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: This Yeah, it's essentially the final roster obviously, But as

109
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 3: Brian said, Trent Balkey likes to leave room for one

110
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 3: mid season move, a trade deadline move one way or

111
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: the other. And I do think no matter what happens

112
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 3: with Trevor Lawrence's contract later, with whatever contracts they still

113
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: have to get done, they'll leave room to make at

114
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 3: least one either mid season or training camp acquisition.

115
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 2: They really have managed the salary cap exceedingly well. When

116
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 2: they started this process of free agency, I wasn't sure

117
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: because of Josh Allen's contract that they'd be able to

118
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: be as aggressive as they were, and now to set

119
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: themselves up with as much room as they've got, they've

120
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: done a really good job.

121
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 4: With the cap this year.

122
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,679
Speaker 1: Good to have options and that flexibility going into training

123
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: camp and the season. Stay with us here on Jagsam.

124

128
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: Logistics dot com. Welcome back to jag Zam. As I mentioned,

129
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna look ahead to the schedule now. Schedule usually

130
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: comes out first to second week in May. We don't

131
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: have an exact date for that just yet, but we

132
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,799
Speaker 1: do wanna get ahead of things and kind of predict

133
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: a little bit. We'll play predictor and try to figure

134
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: out exactly what's going on. We're not always right, but

135
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: we do try once in a while. So we all

136
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: took our best guess at what we think some of

137
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: the Marquee dates on the schedule are gonna be. We're

138
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: gonna start out with the season opener. We all have

139
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: a theme here. It's not always true, but sometimes it is.

140
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: We all stayed within the division for our season opener.

141
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: I went with the Colts. I'm gonna copy last year.

142
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: I think it'll be home this time though, one of

143
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: our home games. But you guys have any reasoning on

144
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: why you pictures or just kind of going within the division.

145
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: That that Texans Jaguars rivalry is quietly, you know, a

146
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 2: budding marquee rivalry. It doesn't have the status yet because

147
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: neither team has made a deep playoff run.

148
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 4: But watching what CJ. Stroud did last.

149
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: Year and the division came down to the last game

150
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: and the rookie took it over the more veteran quarterback,

151
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: I think the league would look at this game and

152
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: say it would be a four o'clock game. I think

153
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: it's in Houston, to be honest with you, and it

154
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 2: could be something that could be really compelling.

155
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with Brian about the Texans rivalry. I

156
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: kind of just leaned the other way that maybe they

157
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 3: wouldn't put that as the opener because they think both

158
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: games will be so important for the division race, but

159
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 3: it can easily be the opener. I just kind of,

160
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 3: you know, and looking at this, you're really guessing on

161
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: how they're gonna think because a lot of times it

162
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 3: comes down to what.

163
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 4: Every game's left.

164
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 3: They're not actively thinking about how to do the Jaguars

165
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 3: every day or do bad things with the Jaguars, which

166
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 3: is what most fans will think on Thursday. So I

167
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: went with Tennessee just because I think it'll be a

168
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 3: division game. I think generally the league sort of likes

169
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 3: putting division games in the opener when they can. They've

170
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: done the colt so often is the opener, and I

171
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 3: don't think they'll do the Texans. So guess what the

172
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 3: Titans are the team that's left to take. So that's

173
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: why I went that directly.

174
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: One other option, let's look at some of what we

175
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: predict for London. Obviously last year they played two games there.

176
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: We haven't had that confirmed. There is rumors, there's reports

177
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: that there could be two games there this year, and

178
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: if there are two games, we do know that one

179
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: of those would be against the Bears. So we each

180
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: have our predictions if there are two games, that's what

181
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: we're going with. The prediction that if there are two,

182
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: who we think the opponents would be. So, John, who

183
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: did you have for yours.

184
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 4: With the Bears?

185
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: Yea?

186
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 3: And we should clarify the reason that that would be

187
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 3: is when you look at the potential road games, sure,

188
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 3: there's really only one that could be and so I

189
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 3: went with Chalk there. I went with Cleveland. I don't know.

190
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 3: I mean one of the reports said the most likely

191
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,239
Speaker 3: were either Cleveland or New England. I went with Cleveland

192
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: because it kind of feels like they would try to

193
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 3: put what might be perceived as the better game over there,

194
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 3: but that could be one.

195
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: I know that they had a strong Patriots contingent in

196
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: Germany last year, even though neither the Colts know, the

197
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: Patriots were very good at the end of the year.

198
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: So I went with the Bears for the reasons that

199
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: you both enumerated, and I went with the Patriots because

200
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 2: obviously they have a huge fan base and an international

201
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: following from all of the Brady years, and I just

202
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: think as many times as they can get the Patriots

203
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 2: in front of a European audience, they're going to want

204
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 2: to do it. And without Bill Belichick there to put

205
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 2: the brake on it because it doesn't fit, you know,

206
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: his mantra, I think with a young coach and potentially

207
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: a new GM, I think that this is a situation

208
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 2: where they can coax them over and take advantage of

209
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: their immense popularity.

210
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: They had marketed very well internationally, so wouldn't be surprised.

211
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: I went with similar thought process. I went with the

212
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: Jets for my Bears, of course, and we mentioned if

213
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: there is an extra game, it would be that I

214
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: went with the Jets as well, because I'm thinking Aaron Rodgers.

215
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: I know when we go there, there's jerseys of every

216
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: color and every team, but Green Bay is always represented

217
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: very well. And I know Aaron's not there anymore, but

218
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: I think some of that might carry over, so I

219
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: think that's there's some pull there. So that's where I

220
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: went with my choices on that there's.

221
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 4: A lot of optimism this year. There always is when

222
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 4: you're doing with the Jets.

223
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: I mean there are always people that seemingly nonsensically jump

224
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 2: on board. I mean, you've got a foty year old

225
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: quarterback coming back with a bad achilles and yet I

226
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: have seen people put the Jets at the very top

227
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 2: of the AFC.

228
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 4: So it would make sense to put the Jets in London.

229
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: It would. Now let's look ahead to primetime. So last

230
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: year we had quite a few we if there's any football,

231
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: Sunday night football, Monday night football. Obviously the London games

232
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: are technically primetime as well, because they're the only games

233
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: on where do we think they're going to end up? Here? John,

234
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: I know you went with two. I think for yours. Yeah,

235
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: everyone's promised one includes Thursday.

236
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone's promised. Why I went with the Texans for

237
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 3: the early reason. I think over the course of the

238
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 3: next five years, this game will be on primetime twice.

239
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 3: At some point it'll be a four o'clock. Yeah, he's

240
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 3: going to turn into the rivalry Brian's talking about. So

241
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 3: if I looked at the schedule, it would seem logical

242
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: that that would be one. They would consider the Dolphins.

243
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 3: Both teams had winning records last year. Meet JAG's nine

244
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 3: and eight, Dolphins like eleven and six, it would make

245
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 3: sense to get that on primetime. It was on primetime

246
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 3: on a Thursday a few years back. The state rivalry

247
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 3: thing might give it a little percentage edge over some

248
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 3: other rivalry. Those two made a little bit of sense.

249
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 4: But there's a bunch that could be.

250
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: Where'd you go with yours, Brian, I think you had

251
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: a couple of more.

252
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I had three. I don't wait for

253
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 4: you to put them up because I've forgotten.

254
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 2: I went with the Texans, and if they play a

255
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 2: four o'clock game in Houston, and then I would think

256
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: this would be, you know, maybe the season finale something

257
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: like that. I like the Dolphins for the same reason

258
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: that you do. You know, two teams with winning records

259
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 2: in Florida. I mean, it could be a Thursday, could

260
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: be a Monday. There's lots of opportunities for that. And

261
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 2: I think the Packers game could be a primetime game.

262
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 4: Here. You've got an exciting young quarterback in.

263
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 2: Jordan Love who you know, pulled off a huge upset

264
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: in the playoffs and of course, the Packers are always

265
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: a great draw in primetime, and the league likes quarterback matchups,

266
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 2: and I think they're going to gamble and go back

267
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 2: to Trevor Lawrence. They didn't have a lot of success

268
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: in primetime last year, but I don't think that takes away.

269
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: I think that would be an end of the season

270
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 2: kind of thing because it'd be in the flex schedule

271
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: with a small market like Jacksonville. But I could see

272
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: all three of those.

273
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: I have one similar to you guys, I want with

274
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. I could definitely see that being like a

275
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: Thursday Monday night something, just because of proximity and the records,

276
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: as John mentioned. But then I straight a little bit.

277
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: We are going to Buffalo this season, hopefully if it's

278
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: a primetime game that is in the fall and not

279
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: in January, because I don't think that be very fun.

280
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: And then this is a little bit different. I think

281
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: the Lions primetime in the sense it's Thanksgiving wouldn't be

282
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: in the evening, but it would be on Thanksgiving. The

283
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: Jaguars are the only team to never have played on Thanksgiving,

284
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,599
Speaker 1: So if there's a chance this is the year, I

285
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: don't know if the lead cares about that, but if

286
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: they do, this would be the year to do it

287
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: and play to turn and Thanksgiving.

288
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's a good chance that that happened.

289
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 3: I say a good chance, the realistic chance that happens.

290
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 3: I didn't put it on there because I just didn't

291
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 3: really think that as a primetime game. If you think

292
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 3: that's primetime, then absolutely, I think that could happen.

293
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: It's definitely primetime for eating turkey and stuffing, and you

294
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: watch football.

295
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 3: Technically prime time is.

296
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 4: Night, so it's a barkie game though.

297
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 3: Marquy, Yes, but I will go prime time for turkey

298
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 3: at noon on Thursday, fair enough.

299
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: And besides just the lines, there's always the opportunity that

300
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: a Jaguars game could be put on that in that

301
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 2: wild card Thursday night, sure, because they've not announced to

302
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: the teams would be for that yet.

303
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: Yes, let's look at what we think our regular season

304
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: finale will be for this year, because that's all of us.

305
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: That's kind of where I went with mine, in the

306
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: sense of I didn't put this in my primetime necessarily,

307
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: but I know kind of when they flexed that Titan

308
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: game the other year at the end of the season,

309
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: That's what I could see for the Texans game, because

310
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: I think they always kind of want a division game

311
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: at the end, you know, if it's gonna decide the division.

312
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: I think that matchup against the Texans is gonna be

313
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: a big one, and that's something I could see where

314
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: they have the flex availability there for to put that

315
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: in a in a time frame when a lot of

316
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: eyes can be on the TV.

317
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I went with the Colts as because I think

318
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 3: it'll be division I kind of think they might get

319
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: the Texan stuff out of the way. I think it

320
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: could easily be the Texans. My only hesitancy with picking

321
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: the Texans is I kind of wonder if the league

322
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 3: doesn't sort of think that they're the favorites and might

323
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 3: put them against somebody else if they thought that at

324
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 3: the end of last season meant Jacksonville's declining. I don't

325
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 3: believe that, but sometimes that might play in the play

326
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 3: in in in how they schedule games.

327
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 4: I want with the Raiders.

328
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: Just as a throwback, twenty years ago, the Jaguars went

329
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 2: to Oakland to play the Raiders in the season finale

330
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: with the playoffs on the line, and they got beat.

331
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 4: By a field goal at the end.

332
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: So I just harken back to that and think, well,

333
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: maybe they'll put the Raiders out of this year.

334
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 4: We're guessing. So this is true.

335
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: We are all guessing, and hopefully if that is true,

336
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: it's a different finish this time around.

337
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 4: Well it's a different city, that's true.

338
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,840

Speaker 1: on in love? Your caricature looks just like it?

345
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess it does.

346
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: We ask the questions here this week. Interesting. I mean

347
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: we talked a little bit about this, but first questions

348
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: from Sean. He wants to know, would you say the

349
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: Jaguars have more depth than last year or about the same.

350
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 4: It's hard to say.

351
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: I guess they have a little more.

352
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 4: Depth.

353
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: Is such a weird thing in the NFL because if

354
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 3: you get an injury to it a particular position, then

355
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 3: all of a sudden you don't have depth. It can

356
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: be a perception thing. Meaning remember twenty twenty two, Brian,

357
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 3: nobody thought they had any depth, no, and they were

358
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: able to withstand two significant injuries on the offensive line

359
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 3: and a couple in their places and they were fine.

360
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 3: Last year they thought they had depth, they got two

361
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 3: injuries at receiver and one at quarterback and the season

362
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 3: went down the tubes. So it's really all about where

363
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 3: you get injured in specific spots. I didn't really think

364
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 3: that injury to Christian Kirk would affect them that heavily,

365
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 3: and it just seemed to waylay them. So yes, I

366
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 3: think they're deeper. I think they have good depth going in.

367
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 3: I worry a little about some key players having a

368
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 3: lot of miles on the tires on the offensive and

369
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 3: defensive line, but going into the season, I think it's

370
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 3: a deep team. I think it's well constructed, even though

371
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 3: they might add a player too.

372
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:25,719
Speaker 1: Well.

373
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 2: You know, last year, I think we thought that there

374
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: was a lot of depth on the offensive line.

375
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 4: There were certainly a lot of bodies.

376
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: And then remember in Detroit they lose Josh Wells, who

377
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 2: was going to be that swing tackle for them, and

378
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: it seemed like it unraveled from there.

379
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 4: There were injuries.

380
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 2: With Cam there were several injuries at left guard, and

381
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: it just they never got any traction whatsoever. So it's

382
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 2: easy to look and say, oh, yeah, we've got depth

383
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 2: in the second week in May, but by the time

384
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: you get to the start of the regular season, all

385
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 2: of that depth is evaporated.

386
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 3: And clarify something, no team has the depth to withstand

387
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 3: two or more injuries at I mean I say nine,

388
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 3: it's rare. It's very difficult to withstand or run on

389
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 3: injuries at a position group, especially the secondary, because usually

390
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 3: once an injury happens and you get too then all

391
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 3: of a sudden, it's.

392
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 4: Katie bar the door.

393
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: But there are a couple of places right in the

394
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 2: secondary with the two young corners they drafted. If one

395
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: of those guys all of a sudden becomes a contributor,

396
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: whether that's Nickel or having to take some significant time

397
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: for an injury to Ronald Darby, and up front right,

398
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 2: if one of those two young defensive tackles has to

399
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 2: work their way into a rotation that seems like it's

400
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: got a lot of bodies, then.

401
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 4: You could have depth. But it's so tough to know.

402
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 3: If the league gets set up so that they don't

403
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 3: want teams to have depth.

404
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 4: Right, that's what free agency is.

405
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: It's parody, and we'll figure out a lot once the

406
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: rookie's get in here too, about who's going to be

407
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: of service to the team right away. Our second question

408
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: about the offensive line is Rogs Paul from Lake City says,

409
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: as a veteran center and a fourth rounder really change

410
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: our line that much? I see a line that is

411
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: one or two injuries away from being ineffective. Again, obviously

412
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: we can't count for injuries, but yeah.

413
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 3: Plays in the I was saying before, Yeah, I think it.

414
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 3: If Mitch Morse is better than Luke Fordner and you

415
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 3: get interior solved, and remember everybody talks about they'd make

416
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 3: enough changes. I think the team considers Ezra Cleveland a change.

417
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 3: I don't think there's a belief that we saw the

418
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 3: complete Ezra Cleveland experience last year.

419
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 4: So that would be two.

420
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 3: If they get that interior offensive line fixed and it's

421
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 3: not and you're able to run for half a yard

422
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 3: more Carrey, then I do think the offensive line is

423
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 3: better in terms of if you get a couple of

424
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 3: injuries away. I would say this every team, ideally in

425
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 3: the NFL, you want seven or eight good offensive linemen.

426
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 3: Most teams have trouble fight and five. So yes, they're

427
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 3: probably an injury or two away from not being as

428
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 3: good on the offensive line. There might be two or

429
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 3: three teams in a league that aren't that way.

430
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: I think it's also important to mention you do want change.

431
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: I think they definitely need to make change to that line,

432
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: but you don't want four out of new five new

433
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: players on your offensive line.

434
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: There is it's not realistic to try to do that.

435
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 2: What if the change is that Walker Little and Cam

436
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 2: Robinson are both available.

437
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 4: For sixteen games this year?

438
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 2: That's huge, right, I mean that has changed that neither

439
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 2: one of them were last year. So what if what

440
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 2: you do in the off season, the way that they train,

441
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 2: the way that they change their diet. What if that's

442
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: the change that keeps them on the field the entire time.

443
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 2: And what if the young kid from Missouri all of

444
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 2: a sudden looks like he's a guy that you could

445
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 2: count on if there is an injury. So you've got

446
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 2: four offensive tackles, now, two of them didn't play a

447
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 2: full season, and Anton Harrison, who's coming off he's probably

448
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 2: the most consistent offensive lineman they had as a rookie.

449
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 2: There's plenty of change. It just isn't all names and numbers.

450
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: And I think that's important to remember. It's a good point.

451
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: Our final question for you, John is from a fellow John,

452
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: and he says, the addition of Darnell Savage and Jariin Jones,

453
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: how do you foresee Antonio Johnson's role in the upcoming season?

454
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: Have to keep that production on the bench.

455
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's hard right now. I think we'll know

456
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 3: more in a couple of weeks. I'm not a big

457
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 3: hey I look forward Ota guy, but I think it

458
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 3: will be interesting to see and maybe get some sort

459
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 3: of a feel for how they're gonna play the safety position.

460
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 3: There's talk with Darnell Savage and Antonio Johnson playing you know,

461
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 3: Nickels safety, Where does do he wingerd fit in. I

462
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 3: don't really have a great feel yet for exactly where

463
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 3: Antonio is gonna line up. My sense from talking to

464
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 3: people about this defense is that the safeties are all

465
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 3: gonna have roles and there might be some switching back

466
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 3: and forth between Nickel and big safety and big Nickel,

467
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 3: you know. So I think this is TBD, but he's gonna.

468
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 4: Have a role. I think he's a start.

469
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 2: I think he with Andre Cisco will start, and then

470
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 2: you'll see Darnell Savage playing with Jari and Jones or

471
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 2: whoever the other Nichol is going to be.

472
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 4: I think his talent is too good and his potential is.

473
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 2: Too high to put on the bench, and he takes

474
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 2: ray Sewn Jenkins spot and the.

475
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 4: Starting line up.

476
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: It remains to be seen, but I think there'll be

477
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: a lot of rotation on defense, especially if they're gonna

478
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: play running gun as we've described, you know, playing Manda

479
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: Man all day, you're gonna need a lot of players

480
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: in there stay fresh and healthy. So it remains to

481
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: be seen. Coming up after the break, we'll preview our

482
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: rookie mini camp with what's coming up the rest of

483
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: the week.

484
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 5: For me, it's a well, just completing my game. I

485
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 5: was going to my four years kind of like you know,

486
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 5: you think about like a senior in high school, like

487
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 5: you're supposed to You're supposed to know what to do now,

488
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 5: you're supposed to do everything right, supposed to shore the guys.

489
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 5: So I'm looking to be a leader and just like

490
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 5: I said, take the next step.

491
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: Out of way. The safety Andre Cisco entering his fourth season,

492
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: final year of his contract, believe as well. So just

493
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: talking a little bit about that. He's now kind of

494
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: after the movement we've seen in the defensive back room,

495
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: he's a more of a veteran presence this year.

496
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 3: Well, he's he and Tyson Campbell are the most tenured

497
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: guys back there outside of Dewey. So yeah, it is

498
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 3: an important It's an important year for him. He has

499
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 3: been very very close to being very very good at times.

500
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 3: He's also got a step to take before he's what.

501
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 4: He wants to be.

502
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 3: So I think it's a big year for him.

503
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: Cisco and Campbell. Consistency definitely gonna be big for them,

504
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: and staying injury free. Of course, as always, I know

505
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,239
Speaker 1: rookie Minni camp. We don't get a ton out of that,

506
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: but we will see them. They head into camp on Thursday,

507
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: I believe, Johnny. Just you just heading out and make

508
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: sure everybody can run around.

509
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 3: I exaggerate, I say every year with these things, not

510
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 3: to get worked up. If you see media reports of

511
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 3: this guy isn't what I thought.

512
00:23:59,320 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 4: He would be.

513
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 3: This I ran this wrong route. He didn't look the part. Whatever.

514
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 3: Just don't get too hyped up about little things that

515
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 3: you see. But you do want to see guys that

516
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 3: look like they belong and that's what you're sort of

517
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 3: going out there to see. Brian Thomas, does he look

518
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,239
Speaker 3: the part? You want guys to look the part. Just

519
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 3: don't get overly worried if they don't shine on the

520
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 3: first two days that they're out there.

521
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: Brian, what are you looking forward to this week?

522
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 4: Nothing?

523
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 2: Worky minute camp is just from our perspective, offers you nothing.

524
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 2: It's all hype, not to coaches, not to the players,

525
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: but it's conclusions nothing. By the time we get to

526
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 2: OTA's no one remembers rookie minicamp. The only rookie minute

527
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 2: camp I remember is twenty fifteen because Dante Fowler Junior,

528
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 2: the third pick in the draft, popped his ACL in

529
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 2: the first ten minutes, and I.

530
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 4: Thought, why are we out here with these guys. I'm

531
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 4: gonna get him hurt.

532
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: They haven't been training for this, and now all of

533
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: a sudden, you go from training to run a forty

534
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 2: or bench you know, two twenty five. I've had ver

535
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 2: many times you can to actually getting into pass rest drills.

536
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 2: This doesn't make any sense and they know that too.

537
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 2: There's a fine line that they'll walk with these guys

538
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 2: this week so that they are ready to come back

539
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: for whatever off season they're a part of and mini

540
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: camp and be ready to go for training camp. So

541
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 2: from that perspective where it's all just about being smart

542
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: and safe, what are we going to get from it?

543
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: That is the prime thing staying safe. Of course, we're

544
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: gonna hear from some of the coaches, the coordinators this week,

545
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: I believe as well, and perhaps Matt House as well,

546
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: who has that LSU connection with all of our draft picks.

547
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: That House, So stay with us. We'll check them with

548
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: you next week and let you know all things that

549
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: go down here on Jacks.

550
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 4: I am
