WEBVTT - Ep. 70: 2024 Schedule Predictions | Jags A.M. Podcast

0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into dag Ziyam. I'm kindan a Stephens here with

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.759
<v Speaker 1>Brian Sexton and John Ogier as we get ready for

0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 1>rookie Mini Caamp a little later on in the week.

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.120
<v Speaker 1>But if you want to talk a little bit about

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 1>some moves that have been made since last week, our

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 1>first big thing, Number one is the wide receiver room.

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>At the beginning of last week's show, we told you

0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>about Jay Jones being released, and of course you know

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Brian Thomas Jr. Was that first round pick. So, Brian,

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.479
<v Speaker 1>how different is this wide receiver room going to be

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>this year? With also the legit of Calvinism.

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I really can't speak to Ridley as much. Knowing Zay

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 2>like I did and understanding the dynamic that existed between

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Kirk and Jones and the quarterback. I think it's going

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 2>to be interesting to not have Jones there. He was

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.040
<v Speaker 2>one of those guys that you could always count on.

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it just seemed the most difficult throws Jones

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 2>was there. And I go back to that game winning

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.960
<v Speaker 2>or department game time drive against the Cowboys when Trevor

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 2>rolled out to his left and just knew right where

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 2>to put the ball. There's just a chemistry that existed there.

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that the Ridley chemistry, you know, ever

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 2>even approached that. So now you've got Christian Kirk and

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Evan Ingram who's not in the receiver's room, and you're

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 2>going to try to integrate Brian Thomas. It's gonna be

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 2>a storyline to watch, for sure.

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.240
<v Speaker 3>John was a guy when young and new receivers weren't

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 3>quite sure what was going on could look to him,

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.759
<v Speaker 3>and he knew exactly where every receiver on the field

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 3>was supposed to be, regardless of position. Look, I said

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.680
<v Speaker 3>last week, I hoped against hope. I guess that they

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 3>would keep saying I liked cover him, like being around him,

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 3>and I thought he gave you something at the same

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 3>time when he was not healthy in twenty twenty four,

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean in twenty twenty three, he really wasn't there

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 3>to give that to you. In the NFL sometimes you

0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 3>had to move on, but well it looked different. Yeah,

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 3>but it's gonna to be a room where everybody outside

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 3>the rookie really needs to be on the same page,

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 3>and then they bring the rookie along.

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, A word to describe it was joy. I mean,

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 2>this guy loved to come to work, He loved to

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 2>be in the locker room around his teammates. Who's going

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.919
<v Speaker 2>to be that lighthearted guy. We don't know Brian Thomas's

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:20.640
<v Speaker 2>personality yet. Christian Kirk is a very low key, serious performer.

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who's going to be that guy that

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 2>keeps it loose and fun, especially guy in the fourth

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 2>quarter when it's tight and a play needs to be made.

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:32.680
<v Speaker 4>Who's that guy? I guess we're gonna find out.

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, we do have Gabe Davis, and we know he

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:36.679
<v Speaker 1>can make some big plays as to what we've seen

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>in Buffalo, so that's always an option. Our second big

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.359
<v Speaker 1>thing this week is look at him because as we mentioned, John,

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I know this is your favorite time of year, but

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 1>what can you take away from rookie camp when all

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>the young guys come in and kind of see how

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 1>things are laid out?

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 3>Nothing? And when I say that, I mean what's going

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.639
<v Speaker 3>on on the field, whether this guy is beating this

0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 3>guy or catching touchdowns and any anything away. What you

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 3>don't want to see is guys where the scouts are

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 3>coming off the field going to know about that one

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 3>and that doesn't happen very often.

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 4>Anymore.

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 3>But basically this should be a week is what I'm

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 3>getting at, Brian, where you're just showing guys what it is,

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 3>what the NFL is. Okay, we'll see in a week

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.920
<v Speaker 3>when OTAs start, we'll go over this again, go over

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 3>it again in training camp. This should be an initiation,

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 3>and I don't think you want to read too much

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 3>into it. If some kid doesn't look quite ready yet.

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's practice for practice, Kai, I mean, this is

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 2>where you're going to show these guys how you work

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>and what the expectations are, and just get them familiar

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 2>with the schoolhouse, so to speak. It's kind of a

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 2>first day of school experience for them. Know where the

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 2>bathrooms are and know where the lunch room is, understand

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 2>where the locker room is and the.

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 4>Quickest way out to the field.

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 2>There was a situation years ago where the Jaguars in

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 2>nineteen ninety seven drafted an offensive lineman out of Colorado

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 2>State who walking off the practice field. One very high

0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 2>profile offensive lineman once was heard say who is that guy?

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 2>He can't play at all? And you don't want that.

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 2>You want everybody to look the part.

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine what lineman would have said that I

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>had might know him pretty well. Maybe our first, our final,

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>big thing today is going to be final additions. So,

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>because the draft is over, free agency obviously behind us,

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>is this the roster set that we're going to look at.

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure if he talks to the GM, they'll say

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.040
<v Speaker 1>they're always looking for players. But Brian, do you think

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:26.719
<v Speaker 1>this is kind of the roster we're going to see

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:28.680
<v Speaker 1>going into the season with as much.

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.599
<v Speaker 2>Money as they've got under the salary cap. I don't

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 2>think they're going to limit themselves if there's somebody out

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 2>there that makes sense.

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:36.239
<v Speaker 4>If there's someone that's cut during.

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Training camp, you'd have to look at very specific positions,

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.480
<v Speaker 2>and I think on the defensive side of the ball entirely.

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.600
<v Speaker 4>A quarterback or a pass rusher.

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Who can help that with Ryan Nielsen, and someone gets

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 2>cut somewhere he's been along the way Atlanta, maybe there

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 2>would be a guy there, So I would say, no,

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I think there's still a guy or two here that's

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 2>going to come on and be a big time contributor

0:04:59.160 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 2>at some point.

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 3>This Yeah, it's essentially the final roster obviously, But as

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 3>Brian said, Trent Balkey likes to leave room for one

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.280
<v Speaker 3>mid season move, a trade deadline move one way or

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 3>the other. And I do think no matter what happens

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 3>with Trevor Lawrence's contract later, with whatever contracts they still

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.600
<v Speaker 3>have to get done, they'll leave room to make at

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 3>least one either mid season or training camp acquisition.

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.479
<v Speaker 2>They really have managed the salary cap exceedingly well. When

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.600
<v Speaker 2>they started this process of free agency, I wasn't sure

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.160
<v Speaker 2>because of Josh Allen's contract that they'd be able to

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 2>be as aggressive as they were, and now to set

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 2>themselves up with as much room as they've got, they've

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 2>done a really good job.

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 4>With the cap this year.

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.679
<v Speaker 1>Good to have options and that flexibility going into training

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.480
<v Speaker 1>camp and the season. Stay with us here on Jagsam.

0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:50.680

0:05:50.720 --> 0:06:07.119
<v Speaker 1>do our schedule predictions for the upcoming season. Move the freight.

<v Speaker 1>Logistics dot com. Welcome back to jag Zam. As I mentioned,

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna look ahead to the schedule now. Schedule usually

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 1>comes out first to second week in May. We don't

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:26.919
<v Speaker 1>have an exact date for that just yet, but we

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:28.799
<v Speaker 1>do wanna get ahead of things and kind of predict

0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. We'll play predictor and try to figure

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.479
<v Speaker 1>out exactly what's going on. We're not always right, but

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.159
<v Speaker 1>we do try once in a while. So we all

0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.279
<v Speaker 1>took our best guess at what we think some of

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the Marquee dates on the schedule are gonna be. We're

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna start out with the season opener. We all have

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.840
<v Speaker 1>a theme here. It's not always true, but sometimes it is.

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.600
<v Speaker 1>We all stayed within the division for our season opener.

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I went with the Colts. I'm gonna copy last year.

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.159
<v Speaker 1>I think it'll be home this time though, one of

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 1>our home games. But you guys have any reasoning on

0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 1>why you pictures or just kind of going within the division.

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:05.080
<v Speaker 2>That that Texans Jaguars rivalry is quietly, you know, a

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:09.560
<v Speaker 2>budding marquee rivalry. It doesn't have the status yet because

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 2>neither team has made a deep playoff run.

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 4>But watching what CJ. Stroud did last.

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Year and the division came down to the last game

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 2>and the rookie took it over the more veteran quarterback,

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 2>I think the league would look at this game and

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 2>say it would be a four o'clock game. I think

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 2>it's in Houston, to be honest with you, and it

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 2>could be something that could be really compelling.

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:35.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I agree with Brian about the Texans rivalry. I

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 3>kind of just leaned the other way that maybe they

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.120
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't put that as the opener because they think both

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 3>games will be so important for the division race, but

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 3>it can easily be the opener. I just kind of,

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, and looking at this, you're really guessing on

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 3>how they're gonna think because a lot of times it

0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 3>comes down to what.

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 4>Every game's left.

0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 3>They're not actively thinking about how to do the Jaguars

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 3>every day or do bad things with the Jaguars, which

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 3>is what most fans will think on Thursday. So I

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 3>went with Tennessee just because I think it'll be a

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 3>division game. I think generally the league sort of likes

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.679
<v Speaker 3>putting division games in the opener when they can. They've

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 3>done the colt so often is the opener, and I

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 3>don't think they'll do the Texans. So guess what the

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Titans are the team that's left to take. So that's

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:23.840
<v Speaker 3>why I went that directly.

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 1>One other option, let's look at some of what we

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 1>predict for London. Obviously last year they played two games there.

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 1>We haven't had that confirmed. There is rumors, there's reports

0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 1>that there could be two games there this year, and

0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>if there are two games, we do know that one

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 1>of those would be against the Bears. So we each

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 1>have our predictions if there are two games, that's what

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.840
<v Speaker 1>we're going with. The prediction that if there are two,

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.600
<v Speaker 1>who we think the opponents would be. So, John, who

0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 1>did you have for yours.

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:48.360
<v Speaker 4>With the Bears?

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Yea?

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:54.080
<v Speaker 3>And we should clarify the reason that that would be

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.320
<v Speaker 3>is when you look at the potential road games, sure,

0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.960
<v Speaker 3>there's really only one that could be and so I

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:05.440
<v Speaker 3>went with Chalk there. I went with Cleveland. I don't know.

0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean one of the reports said the most likely

0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:12.239
<v Speaker 3>were either Cleveland or New England. I went with Cleveland

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.840
<v Speaker 3>because it kind of feels like they would try to

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.679
<v Speaker 3>put what might be perceived as the better game over there,

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.200
<v Speaker 3>but that could be one.

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I know that they had a strong Patriots contingent in

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Germany last year, even though neither the Colts know, the

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Patriots were very good at the end of the year.

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 2>So I went with the Bears for the reasons that

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.600
<v Speaker 2>you both enumerated, and I went with the Patriots because

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.839
<v Speaker 2>obviously they have a huge fan base and an international

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 2>following from all of the Brady years, and I just

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 2>think as many times as they can get the Patriots

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 2>in front of a European audience, they're going to want

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.839
<v Speaker 2>to do it. And without Bill Belichick there to put

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.960
<v Speaker 2>the brake on it because it doesn't fit, you know,

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 2>his mantra, I think with a young coach and potentially

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 2>a new GM, I think that this is a situation

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.680
<v Speaker 2>where they can coax them over and take advantage of

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 2>their immense popularity.

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>They had marketed very well internationally, so wouldn't be surprised.

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.160
<v Speaker 1>I went with similar thought process. I went with the

0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Jets for my Bears, of course, and we mentioned if

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.200
<v Speaker 1>there is an extra game, it would be that I

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 1>went with the Jets as well, because I'm thinking Aaron Rodgers.

0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I know when we go there, there's jerseys of every

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 1>color and every team, but Green Bay is always represented

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 1>very well. And I know Aaron's not there anymore, but

0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I think some of that might carry over, so I

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 1>think that's there's some pull there. So that's where I

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>went with my choices on that there's.

0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 4>A lot of optimism this year. There always is when

0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:30.440
<v Speaker 4>you're doing with the Jets.

0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean there are always people that seemingly nonsensically jump

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:35.839
<v Speaker 2>on board. I mean, you've got a foty year old

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:38.720
<v Speaker 2>quarterback coming back with a bad achilles and yet I

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 2>have seen people put the Jets at the very top

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:41.719
<v Speaker 2>of the AFC.

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 4>So it would make sense to put the Jets in London.

0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.200
<v Speaker 1>It would. Now let's look ahead to primetime. So last

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.680
<v Speaker 1>year we had quite a few we if there's any football,

0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Sunday night football, Monday night football. Obviously the London games

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>are technically primetime as well, because they're the only games

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 1>on where do we think they're going to end up? Here? John,

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I know you went with two. I think for yours. Yeah,

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.320
<v Speaker 1>everyone's promised one includes Thursday.

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, everyone's promised. Why I went with the Texans for

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.680
<v Speaker 3>the early reason. I think over the course of the

0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 3>next five years, this game will be on primetime twice.

0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 3>At some point it'll be a four o'clock. Yeah, he's

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 3>going to turn into the rivalry Brian's talking about. So

0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:23.200
<v Speaker 3>if I looked at the schedule, it would seem logical

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 3>that that would be one. They would consider the Dolphins.

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 3>Both teams had winning records last year. Meet JAG's nine

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 3>and eight, Dolphins like eleven and six, it would make

0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 3>sense to get that on primetime. It was on primetime

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.840
<v Speaker 3>on a Thursday a few years back. The state rivalry

0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:42.440
<v Speaker 3>thing might give it a little percentage edge over some

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 3>other rivalry. Those two made a little bit of sense.

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 4>But there's a bunch that could be.

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Where'd you go with yours, Brian, I think you had

0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 1>a couple of more.

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think I had three. I don't wait for

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:54.320
<v Speaker 4>you to put them up because I've forgotten.

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.679
<v Speaker 2>I went with the Texans, and if they play a

0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:01.320
<v Speaker 2>four o'clock game in Houston, and then I would think

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 2>this would be, you know, maybe the season finale something

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 2>like that. I like the Dolphins for the same reason

0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.000
<v Speaker 2>that you do. You know, two teams with winning records

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.839
<v Speaker 2>in Florida. I mean, it could be a Thursday, could

0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.360
<v Speaker 2>be a Monday. There's lots of opportunities for that. And

0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I think the Packers game could be a primetime game.

0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 4>Here. You've got an exciting young quarterback in.

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Love who you know, pulled off a huge upset

0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 2>in the playoffs and of course, the Packers are always

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:29.800
<v Speaker 2>a great draw in primetime, and the league likes quarterback matchups,

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:31.719
<v Speaker 2>and I think they're going to gamble and go back

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.440
<v Speaker 2>to Trevor Lawrence. They didn't have a lot of success

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.440
<v Speaker 2>in primetime last year, but I don't think that takes away.

0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:38.520
<v Speaker 2>I think that would be an end of the season

0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.319
<v Speaker 2>kind of thing because it'd be in the flex schedule

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 2>with a small market like Jacksonville. But I could see

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:43.200
<v Speaker 2>all three of those.

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I have one similar to you guys, I want with

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins. I could definitely see that being like a

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Thursday Monday night something, just because of proximity and the records,

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 1>as John mentioned. But then I straight a little bit.

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.400
<v Speaker 1>We are going to Buffalo this season, hopefully if it's

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.400
<v Speaker 1>a primetime game that is in the fall and not

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.679
<v Speaker 1>in January, because I don't think that be very fun.

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:02.640
<v Speaker 1>And then this is a little bit different. I think

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the Lions primetime in the sense it's Thanksgiving wouldn't be

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 1>in the evening, but it would be on Thanksgiving. The

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars are the only team to never have played on Thanksgiving,

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.599
<v Speaker 1>So if there's a chance this is the year, I

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.679
<v Speaker 1>don't know if the lead cares about that, but if

0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:17.200
<v Speaker 1>they do, this would be the year to do it

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:19.080
<v Speaker 1>and play to turn and Thanksgiving.

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think there's a good chance that that happened.

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:23.920
<v Speaker 3>I say a good chance, the realistic chance that happens.

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:25.840
<v Speaker 3>I didn't put it on there because I just didn't

0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:27.839
<v Speaker 3>really think that as a primetime game. If you think

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 3>that's primetime, then absolutely, I think that could happen.

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 1>It's definitely primetime for eating turkey and stuffing, and you

0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 1>watch football.

0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 3>Technically prime time is.

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 4>Night, so it's a barkie game though.

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Marquy, Yes, but I will go prime time for turkey

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 3>at noon on Thursday, fair enough.

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:50.560
<v Speaker 2>And besides just the lines, there's always the opportunity that

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 2>a Jaguars game could be put on that in that

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.480
<v Speaker 2>wild card Thursday night, sure, because they've not announced to

0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:58.000
<v Speaker 2>the teams would be for that yet.

0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, let's look at what we think our regular season

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.880
<v Speaker 1>finale will be for this year, because that's all of us.

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of where I went with mine, in the

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 1>sense of I didn't put this in my primetime necessarily,

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 1>but I know kind of when they flexed that Titan

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 1>game the other year at the end of the season,

0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:14.120
<v Speaker 1>That's what I could see for the Texans game, because

0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I think they always kind of want a division game

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.720
<v Speaker 1>at the end, you know, if it's gonna decide the division.

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I think that matchup against the Texans is gonna be

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.000
<v Speaker 1>a big one, and that's something I could see where

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.760
<v Speaker 1>they have the flex availability there for to put that

0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.760
<v Speaker 1>in a in a time frame when a lot of

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:29.720
<v Speaker 1>eyes can be on the TV.

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I went with the Colts as because I think

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.000
<v Speaker 3>it'll be division I kind of think they might get

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:37.720
<v Speaker 3>the Texan stuff out of the way. I think it

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:42.160
<v Speaker 3>could easily be the Texans. My only hesitancy with picking

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 3>the Texans is I kind of wonder if the league

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.400
<v Speaker 3>doesn't sort of think that they're the favorites and might

0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 3>put them against somebody else if they thought that at

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 3>the end of last season meant Jacksonville's declining. I don't

0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:58.400
<v Speaker 3>believe that, but sometimes that might play in the play

0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 3>in in in how they schedule games.

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 4>I want with the Raiders.

0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Just as a throwback, twenty years ago, the Jaguars went

0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 2>to Oakland to play the Raiders in the season finale

0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.520
<v Speaker 2>with the playoffs on the line, and they got beat.

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:11.480
<v Speaker 4>By a field goal at the end.

0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 2>So I just harken back to that and think, well,

0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:15.720
<v Speaker 2>maybe they'll put the Raiders out of this year.

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 4>We're guessing. So this is true.

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 1>We are all guessing, and hopefully if that is true,

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 1>it's a different finish this time around.

0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 4>Well it's a different city, that's true.

0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, stay with us. We're gonna come back and

0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:26.440

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I guess it does.

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 1>We ask the questions here this week. Interesting. I mean

0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:11.680
<v Speaker 1>we talked a little bit about this, but first questions

0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 1>from Sean. He wants to know, would you say the

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars have more depth than last year or about the same.

0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:19.880
<v Speaker 4>It's hard to say.

0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.720
<v Speaker 3>I guess they have a little more.

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:24.520
<v Speaker 4>Depth.

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.680
<v Speaker 3>Is such a weird thing in the NFL because if

0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 3>you get an injury to it a particular position, then

0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 3>all of a sudden you don't have depth. It can

0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 3>be a perception thing. Meaning remember twenty twenty two, Brian,

0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:39.640
<v Speaker 3>nobody thought they had any depth, no, and they were

0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.280
<v Speaker 3>able to withstand two significant injuries on the offensive line

0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:46.200
<v Speaker 3>and a couple in their places and they were fine.

0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.880
<v Speaker 3>Last year they thought they had depth, they got two

0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.640
<v Speaker 3>injuries at receiver and one at quarterback and the season

0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.520
<v Speaker 3>went down the tubes. So it's really all about where

0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 3>you get injured in specific spots. I didn't really think

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 3>that injury to Christian Kirk would affect them that heavily,

0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 3>and it just seemed to waylay them. So yes, I

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.680
<v Speaker 3>think they're deeper. I think they have good depth going in.

0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.560
<v Speaker 3>I worry a little about some key players having a

0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 3>lot of miles on the tires on the offensive and

0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:20.640
<v Speaker 3>defensive line, but going into the season, I think it's

0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 3>a deep team. I think it's well constructed, even though

0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:24.959
<v Speaker 3>they might add a player too.

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:25.719
<v Speaker 1>Well.

0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, last year, I think we thought that there

0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 2>was a lot of depth on the offensive line.

0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:31.840
<v Speaker 4>There were certainly a lot of bodies.

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:33.960
<v Speaker 2>And then remember in Detroit they lose Josh Wells, who

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.280
<v Speaker 2>was going to be that swing tackle for them, and

0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.280
<v Speaker 2>it seemed like it unraveled from there.

0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:39.119
<v Speaker 4>There were injuries.

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:44.159
<v Speaker 2>With Cam there were several injuries at left guard, and

0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:46.600
<v Speaker 2>it just they never got any traction whatsoever. So it's

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:48.720
<v Speaker 2>easy to look and say, oh, yeah, we've got depth

0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.360
<v Speaker 2>in the second week in May, but by the time

0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.240
<v Speaker 2>you get to the start of the regular season, all

0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.120
<v Speaker 2>of that depth is evaporated.

0:17:56.240 --> 0:18:01.560
<v Speaker 3>And clarify something, no team has the depth to withstand

0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 3>two or more injuries at I mean I say nine,

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 3>it's rare. It's very difficult to withstand or run on

0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:12.639
<v Speaker 3>injuries at a position group, especially the secondary, because usually

0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:15.720
<v Speaker 3>once an injury happens and you get too then all

0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:16.400
<v Speaker 3>of a sudden, it's.

0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:16.960
<v Speaker 4>Katie bar the door.

0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:18.280
<v Speaker 2>But there are a couple of places right in the

0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.439
<v Speaker 2>secondary with the two young corners they drafted. If one

0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 2>of those guys all of a sudden becomes a contributor,

0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:26.320
<v Speaker 2>whether that's Nickel or having to take some significant time

0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.560
<v Speaker 2>for an injury to Ronald Darby, and up front right,

0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:31.439
<v Speaker 2>if one of those two young defensive tackles has to

0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:34.120
<v Speaker 2>work their way into a rotation that seems like it's

0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:35.520
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of bodies, then.

0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.439
<v Speaker 4>You could have depth. But it's so tough to know.

0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 3>If the league gets set up so that they don't

0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:40.640
<v Speaker 3>want teams to have depth.

0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:42.040
<v Speaker 4>Right, that's what free agency is.

0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.639
<v Speaker 1>It's parody, and we'll figure out a lot once the

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:46.399
<v Speaker 1>rookie's get in here too, about who's going to be

0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:49.440
<v Speaker 1>of service to the team right away. Our second question

0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.320
<v Speaker 1>about the offensive line is Rogs Paul from Lake City says,

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.560
<v Speaker 1>as a veteran center and a fourth rounder really change

0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:57.560
<v Speaker 1>our line that much? I see a line that is

0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.520
<v Speaker 1>one or two injuries away from being ineffective. Again, obviously

0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:02.440
<v Speaker 1>we can't count for injuries, but yeah.

0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:06.600
<v Speaker 3>Plays in the I was saying before, Yeah, I think it.

0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:11.800
<v Speaker 3>If Mitch Morse is better than Luke Fordner and you

0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:17.919
<v Speaker 3>get interior solved, and remember everybody talks about they'd make

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:21.680
<v Speaker 3>enough changes. I think the team considers Ezra Cleveland a change.

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:25.439
<v Speaker 3>I don't think there's a belief that we saw the

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:29.120
<v Speaker 3>complete Ezra Cleveland experience last year.

0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.440
<v Speaker 4>So that would be two.

0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 3>If they get that interior offensive line fixed and it's

0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.760
<v Speaker 3>not and you're able to run for half a yard

0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.359
<v Speaker 3>more Carrey, then I do think the offensive line is

0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.720
<v Speaker 3>better in terms of if you get a couple of

0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:55.359
<v Speaker 3>injuries away. I would say this every team, ideally in

0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:58.720
<v Speaker 3>the NFL, you want seven or eight good offensive linemen.

0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Most teams have trouble fight and five. So yes, they're

0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:06.080
<v Speaker 3>probably an injury or two away from not being as

0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:09.359
<v Speaker 3>good on the offensive line. There might be two or

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:11.440
<v Speaker 3>three teams in a league that aren't that way.

0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:14.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it's also important to mention you do want change.

0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I think they definitely need to make change to that line,

0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:19.280
<v Speaker 1>but you don't want four out of new five new

0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:20.480
<v Speaker 1>players on your offensive line.

0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:22.280
<v Speaker 3>There is it's not realistic to try to do that.

0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:25.520
<v Speaker 2>What if the change is that Walker Little and Cam

0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Robinson are both available.

0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:27.800
<v Speaker 4>For sixteen games this year?

0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.360
<v Speaker 2>That's huge, right, I mean that has changed that neither

0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:32.879
<v Speaker 2>one of them were last year. So what if what

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:34.720
<v Speaker 2>you do in the off season, the way that they train,

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:36.400
<v Speaker 2>the way that they change their diet. What if that's

0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:39.000
<v Speaker 2>the change that keeps them on the field the entire time.

0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:41.359
<v Speaker 2>And what if the young kid from Missouri all of

0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:43.080
<v Speaker 2>a sudden looks like he's a guy that you could

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:46.000
<v Speaker 2>count on if there is an injury. So you've got

0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:48.959
<v Speaker 2>four offensive tackles, now, two of them didn't play a

0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:51.840
<v Speaker 2>full season, and Anton Harrison, who's coming off he's probably

0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 2>the most consistent offensive lineman they had as a rookie.

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:58.680
<v Speaker 2>There's plenty of change. It just isn't all names and numbers.

0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's important to remember. It's a good point.

0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Our final question for you, John is from a fellow John,

0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.480
<v Speaker 1>and he says, the addition of Darnell Savage and Jariin Jones,

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:09.320
<v Speaker 1>how do you foresee Antonio Johnson's role in the upcoming season?

0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:11.359
<v Speaker 1>Have to keep that production on the bench.

0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's it's hard right now. I think we'll know

0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:17.600
<v Speaker 3>more in a couple of weeks. I'm not a big

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 3>hey I look forward Ota guy, but I think it

0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:24.280
<v Speaker 3>will be interesting to see and maybe get some sort

0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:27.120
<v Speaker 3>of a feel for how they're gonna play the safety position.

0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:31.159
<v Speaker 3>There's talk with Darnell Savage and Antonio Johnson playing you know,

0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:35.520
<v Speaker 3>Nickels safety, Where does do he wingerd fit in. I

0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 3>don't really have a great feel yet for exactly where

0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:42.399
<v Speaker 3>Antonio is gonna line up. My sense from talking to

0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:45.640
<v Speaker 3>people about this defense is that the safeties are all

0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:50.480
<v Speaker 3>gonna have roles and there might be some switching back

0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:53.960
<v Speaker 3>and forth between Nickel and big safety and big Nickel,

0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.520
<v Speaker 3>you know. So I think this is TBD, but he's gonna.

0:21:57.280 --> 0:21:58.400
<v Speaker 4>Have a role. I think he's a start.

0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:00.639
<v Speaker 2>I think he with Andre Cisco will start, and then

0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:03.440
<v Speaker 2>you'll see Darnell Savage playing with Jari and Jones or

0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:04.960
<v Speaker 2>whoever the other Nichol is going to be.

0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:08.639
<v Speaker 4>I think his talent is too good and his potential is.

0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Too high to put on the bench, and he takes

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:13.399
<v Speaker 2>ray Sewn Jenkins spot and the.

0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:14.000
<v Speaker 4>Starting line up.

0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:15.560
<v Speaker 1>It remains to be seen, but I think there'll be

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:17.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of rotation on defense, especially if they're gonna

0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:20.920
<v Speaker 1>play running gun as we've described, you know, playing Manda

0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Man all day, you're gonna need a lot of players

0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:24.800
<v Speaker 1>in there stay fresh and healthy. So it remains to

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:27.960
<v Speaker 1>be seen. Coming up after the break, we'll preview our

0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 1>rookie mini camp with what's coming up the rest of

0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the week.

0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:45.320
<v Speaker 5>For me, it's a well, just completing my game. I

0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:47.040
<v Speaker 5>was going to my four years kind of like you know,

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 5>you think about like a senior in high school, like

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:50.320
<v Speaker 5>you're supposed to You're supposed to know what to do now,

0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:52.280
<v Speaker 5>you're supposed to do everything right, supposed to shore the guys.

0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:54.359
<v Speaker 5>So I'm looking to be a leader and just like

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:55.480
<v Speaker 5>I said, take the next step.

0:22:56.800 --> 0:22:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Out of way. The safety Andre Cisco entering his fourth season,

0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:02.040
<v Speaker 1>final year of his contract, believe as well. So just

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:04.199
<v Speaker 1>talking a little bit about that. He's now kind of

0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:07.280
<v Speaker 1>after the movement we've seen in the defensive back room,

0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:09.120
<v Speaker 1>he's a more of a veteran presence this year.

0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:13.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, he's he and Tyson Campbell are the most tenured

0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:18.600
<v Speaker 3>guys back there outside of Dewey. So yeah, it is

0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:21.360
<v Speaker 3>an important It's an important year for him. He has

0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:24.399
<v Speaker 3>been very very close to being very very good at times.

0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:30.359
<v Speaker 3>He's also got a step to take before he's what.

0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:30.840
<v Speaker 4>He wants to be.

0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:32.200
<v Speaker 3>So I think it's a big year for him.

0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Cisco and Campbell. Consistency definitely gonna be big for them,

0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:38.280
<v Speaker 1>and staying injury free. Of course, as always, I know

0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:40.239
<v Speaker 1>rookie Minni camp. We don't get a ton out of that,

0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:43.119
<v Speaker 1>but we will see them. They head into camp on Thursday,

0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I believe, Johnny. Just you just heading out and make

0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:48.440
<v Speaker 1>sure everybody can run around.

0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:54.440
<v Speaker 3>I exaggerate, I say every year with these things, not

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:57.760
<v Speaker 3>to get worked up. If you see media reports of

0:23:58.280 --> 0:23:59.520
<v Speaker 3>this guy isn't what I thought.

0:23:59.320 --> 0:23:59.679
<v Speaker 4>He would be.

0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:04.320
<v Speaker 3>This I ran this wrong route. He didn't look the part. Whatever.

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:07.479
<v Speaker 3>Just don't get too hyped up about little things that

0:24:07.560 --> 0:24:09.800
<v Speaker 3>you see. But you do want to see guys that

0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:11.639
<v Speaker 3>look like they belong and that's what you're sort of

0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:14.320
<v Speaker 3>going out there to see. Brian Thomas, does he look

0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:17.239
<v Speaker 3>the part? You want guys to look the part. Just

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:22.119
<v Speaker 3>don't get overly worried if they don't shine on the

0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:23.600
<v Speaker 3>first two days that they're out there.

0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:26.399
<v Speaker 1>Brian, what are you looking forward to this week?

0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:27.880
<v Speaker 4>Nothing?

0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Worky minute camp is just from our perspective, offers you nothing.

0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:36.040
<v Speaker 2>It's all hype, not to coaches, not to the players,

0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:41.560
<v Speaker 2>but it's conclusions nothing. By the time we get to

0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 2>OTA's no one remembers rookie minicamp. The only rookie minute

0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:48.440
<v Speaker 2>camp I remember is twenty fifteen because Dante Fowler Junior,

0:24:48.680 --> 0:24:51.159
<v Speaker 2>the third pick in the draft, popped his ACL in

0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:52.480
<v Speaker 2>the first ten minutes, and I.

0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:54.200
<v Speaker 4>Thought, why are we out here with these guys. I'm

0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:54.920
<v Speaker 4>gonna get him hurt.

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:56.800
<v Speaker 2>They haven't been training for this, and now all of

0:24:56.840 --> 0:24:58.520
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, you go from training to run a forty

0:24:58.600 --> 0:25:00.359
<v Speaker 2>or bench you know, two twenty five. I've had ver

0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:03.359
<v Speaker 2>many times you can to actually getting into pass rest drills.

0:25:04.000 --> 0:25:06.400
<v Speaker 2>This doesn't make any sense and they know that too.

0:25:06.760 --> 0:25:09.720
<v Speaker 2>There's a fine line that they'll walk with these guys

0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:12.120
<v Speaker 2>this week so that they are ready to come back

0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:14.840
<v Speaker 2>for whatever off season they're a part of and mini

0:25:14.880 --> 0:25:16.800
<v Speaker 2>camp and be ready to go for training camp. So

0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:19.680
<v Speaker 2>from that perspective where it's all just about being smart

0:25:19.680 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 2>and safe, what are we going to get from it?

0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:24.560
<v Speaker 1>That is the prime thing staying safe. Of course, we're

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:26.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna hear from some of the coaches, the coordinators this week,

0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I believe as well, and perhaps Matt House as well,

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:31.520
<v Speaker 1>who has that LSU connection with all of our draft picks.

0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:34.000
<v Speaker 1>That House, So stay with us. We'll check them with

0:25:34.040 --> 0:25:35.840
<v Speaker 1>you next week and let you know all things that

0:25:35.880 --> 0:25:36.920
<v Speaker 1>go down here on Jacks.

0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:54.560
<v Speaker 4>I am
