WEBVTT - Ep. 8: Who Stood Out in Preseason Week 1? | Jags A.M. Podcast 0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:21.000 Welcome into Jagson, presented by Carshield. It's Monday, August fourteenth. 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:25.160 We have Jaguars actual football to talk about in terms 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:27.280 of they played a preseason game, which we've been dying 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:29.440 for because we've been you know, sweating mount in the 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:32.559 sun at training camp. So things are legit, and I 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:34.360 think some of the younger players we've been talking about 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.200 really came out and showed out. And that was what 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:38.840 I was most impressed by from that game. 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:41.400 I think all the rookies did. I mean, maybe you 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.760 could say Eric Hallett, but you just go down the 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:48.040 line and every one of them. John did something that 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:49.000 was noteworthy. 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:50.519 Yeah, and it's what you look for. 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:54.640 I've gotten a striking number of emails from people upset 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.440 about this or that, and the first team offense didn't 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:00.400 start fast. And look Doug talk this morning. He wants 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:01.080 to start faster. 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.320 But is there a big concern on your part. 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:07.120 That the offense isn't gonna be good? None, So relax 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.560 about the offense until we see it a couple of 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.720 regular season games not work, It's gonna work. What you 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.880 wanted out of this was to see the young players 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.080 you wanted to see guys. As they step up, they 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.080 certainly seem deeper. I thought the depth issue was overrated 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.640 last year. I thought they were fairly deep in key spots. 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.560 But it looks like they have some young guys who 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.600 are gonna be key and good for the future of 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:32.120 this franchise. 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.200 And by the way, apologies to Derek Parrish and Eric 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.800 Hallett if they did something. You know, I didn't see 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.440 every Worokie do something, but as I went through my list, 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:42.760 there were a lot of guys that did, and to me, 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:44.200 that's what matters the most. 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:45.920 And we're gonna be talking a ton about that today. 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.400 But let's start off with big things. Because third drive 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.560 was the charm for Trevor. We thought we would see 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.360 the starters for maybe one or two drives. Obviously Trevor 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:57.600 Lawrence throwing that interception on the first drive, and then 0:01:58.120 --> 0:01:59.640 you know, they punted on the second drive. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:01.680 It's obviously a bit. 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.080 Of a I think Duck said the ball slipped out 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:05.800 of his hands there, but just a mistake. You know, 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.240 he just shouldn't have either thrown out of bounds or 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:09.919 you know, let that play go. 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:11.880 But they did bounce back from that, right. 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:15.560 They got the fumble on the punt and they were 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:17.160 able to get the ball back on that third possession. 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:18.320 They put the stage back out there and then you 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:19.720 saw the drive that you wanted to see, right. You 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:21.520 want to see them finish strong and to get that 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.799 touchdown pass to Christian Kirk. They went for the two 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.320 point conversion as well, and I think John were encouraged 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:28.840 that at least they were able to kind of finish 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:30.040 things off after a little bit of. 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:30.679 Rocky start there. 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:32.920 Yeah, and you want to see him smooth it out 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:34.720 over the long run. But this is sort of what 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.680 Trevor is. I mean, he he. 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:38.639 Gets it going. 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:41.920 It can take him a while to get started, and 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.240 it took him ahi to get stared the other night. 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.720 I'm not worried about the interception. I'm not worried about 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:49.799 anything on this offense. But you know, if they had 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.120 stopped the game after three series against the Chargers last year, 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.400 but it gets fired, Yeah, I mean, I'm exaggera and 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.320 they weren't gona get fired. But you know, so football 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.600 is a sixty minute game. This is what this team 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.880 sort of is. If this was a game, they hung 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:05.399 in there, they shut them out, and then they got 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.680 to turn over and went in and scored. 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:09.359 That's football. 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.960 This team takes advantage of opportunities. I'm starting to think 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:19.119 of of Trevor's sort of an adrenaline quarterback and when 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.520 he gets it going and all of a sudden, it 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.880 can turn to magic. And his last two throws were 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:29.120 both scores, So stop worrying about the first one so much. 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:32.320 The offense is gonna be fine. 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.880 People were because they enjoy it, right, I mean, there 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.520 are people that like defining the negative in something and 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.200 then work their way through it. He's still a young quarterback. 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.800 He's got thirty six career starts, thirty four in the 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.800 regular season, so that's nothing that concerns me. I'll tell 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:46.160 you what I lot. 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.440 I guess what, Brian, this team's not going to score 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.400 in every possession this year. If they did, that would 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.240 be some sort of record, and they're probably gonna win 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:53.720 every game. 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.560 So you relax, I will. I don't want to point 0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:58.800 at one thing. The thing that I liked the most 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.760 about the touchdown throw at about the two point was 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.720 how patient he was in the pocket, how he just 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.320 you know, and you covered the Patriots, so you know this. 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.480 When Tom Brady was at his best. He moved in 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.960 about a three foot circle, you know, radius in the pocket, 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.160 not very much, just enough to sort of avoid and 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.760 slide and get the vision that he needed. That's exactly 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.080 what Trevor did. And the other thing is that we 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.400 talked about second year in the systems. Second year with 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:26.159 these guys together, both Kirk and Jones worked their way open. 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.640 The quarterback was patient, they knew where they needed to be, 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:32.440 and they made the place. That's the second year factor 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.480 that we have been talking about since the spring. 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.000 I did like a lot of what I saw on 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.080 that third drive for them. I do have a Patriots 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.279 comparison coming up in hot takes because I did see 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.560 something very reminiscent there, which bodes well for this team. 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.760 As for our big thing number two, that's the youth movement. 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:48.680 So let's take a couple a look at some of 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.159 these plays that we had from Gregory Junior, because we 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.160 know Brian's been talking about him for a while now 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:55.119 and he really came through. 0:04:55.720 --> 0:05:00.359 Well, look when you watch this guy, watch how fast 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.279 he gets where he's going and then how violently he arrives. 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:06.800 I mean, he's bang. You see him, he shows up, 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.760 he pops off the tape, and what impresses me is that, 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.760 you know, he's a guy that shows up from Watchita 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:15.839 Baptist Naia Division two school and in a short time 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:20.480 is making plays like that against guys who are competing 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.120 for jobs on the Cowboys roster. That was early in 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.200 the game. Those guys are competing for those special teams jobs. 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.920 And everything we saw from the digress in terms of 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.760 special teams, we've been talking about it for weeks now 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:32.760 about you know, making your mark there and that's how 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.039 you get your roster spot. And there's got to be 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.680 you know, probably five six players I saw making plays 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:39.560 that could get themselves a spot from that. 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:41.200 By the way, he is not just competing for a 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.680 special team's job this year, for the starting nickelback role 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:46.120 because he's good in the middle of the field. 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:48.800 Yeah, I don't think he's going to start at nickel 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:50.440 this year. I think they's going to get to Trey Herndon. 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:51.039 But he's. 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:56.039 What they needed desperately coming into this camp was for 0:05:56.160 --> 0:06:00.800 some of this abyss of young corners meaning Braswell and 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.840 Junior and Brown, for somebody to step up where you 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.680 felt good about four, five and six, you know, exactly. 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.360 The three is where I'm just saying he can't get 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.400 to that third spot. But I would think it's going 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:18.039 to be Trey. But you wanted, you know, coming into camp, 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.520 you worried if any of those guys are out, who's 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.440 you've seen nothing. Credit to Tim Jones who forced the 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.840 first fumble and showed again why it's going to be 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:29.279 tough to have him not on the roster. 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.880 Hold on on it. I mean, I know Trade's been 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:33.600 around here for a while, but people that I talked 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.360 to say that that is real, that Trey Herndon and 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.560 Gregory Jr. Are locked in a battle for this job. 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:39.840 And it's not just going to be given to the 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.360 veteran because he's got more starts in a young player, 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.240 you know, with some uptick. There also one more name 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.800 we should mention, Devod Wilson, who had an interception that 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.680 was nullified by a penalty on Christian Braswell on the 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.120 other side of the field for illegal contact. So it 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:57.160 wasn't just brass Well and and the other draft picks 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:00.920 and Greg Jr. To Vod Wilson, the undrafted rule who 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.360 came from Georgia who we've talked about on this show 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.240 as well came through with a big play too. 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.040 That's exactly what you want to see in the preseason, 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.440 these names that we've been talking about, that's where you 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.160 need to show out and do that. And we're going 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:12.960 to go over a bunch of that in the B 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:14.840 Block Courage just after the break. We're going to come 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.559 back and talk about a bunch of those young players, 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.480 specifically the draft picks and what they were able to 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:20.600 do in the game, and a round things out with 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:25.040 our big thing Number three, Canada's favorite Son. Because Nathan 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.000 Rourke had a play that ever has been blowing up 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.920 absolutely everywhere, and I was on the sideline that it 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.800 went down on and I was I myself just I 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.320 think I was just like, no way, this man doing 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:37.640 this right now because I was like, why is he 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:39.720 doing it? And then I was like, oh wait, there's 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.880 a chance here, because at this point I was like. 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:43.800 Wait, wait, wait, what are we doing? What are we doing? 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:48.800 And then it's like, oh wait, he's gonna throw it. 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:49.480 It's impressive. 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:50.560 Yeah, big time play. 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.320 I mean it's it's uh, let's pump the brakes on, 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.640 putt him in the Hall of Fame and he's. 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.920 In Canada's Hall of Fame. Thank you should be. 0:07:58.760 --> 0:07:59.920 A some Jaguars fan. 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.200 He was the Canadian player there understandably going nuts and 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.040 you always want to see this, and he played well. 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:12.680 Besides this, I am now very very curious and interested 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:16.600 to watch the quarterbacks, the reserve quarterbacks the rest of 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:18.000 the preseason, which I wasn't before. 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.080 That play not remind you of that third quarter play 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.560 in Denver in twenty nineteen where Gardner Minshew was turned 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.240 inside out and bent over and ran around and found 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.760 Rockwall Armstead in the back of the end zone. That's 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:31.240 the first thing I thought of, is, oh, I've seen 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:31.760 that play before. 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:36.360 Yeah, and it's I want to see it a couple 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:40.720 of more times. Yeah, a consistency, because he looked much 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:44.240 much better in the game than he did in any 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:47.920 of the training camp practices, in any the OTAs. So 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:49.760 I didn't think he had a very good chance to 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.920 make the team before the other night, you know, or 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:56.520 I wasn't sure what was going to happen. Now you 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.600 have to go with game performance with quarterbacks more than practice. 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.319 So let's see it a couple more times, Let's see 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:03.720 him stack it, and then maybe it gets interesting. 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:05.200 He's got a nice arm though. Yeah, yeah, you've got 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:06.000 some zip on that. 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:07.560 Were ready for another mania? Is that what you were 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:08.120 trying to say. 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:11.199 With the don't man yet? 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.360 No, And you're never gonna have that because you got 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.440 Trevor right, that's where the mania is, correct. 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.560 We don't want to get to the point where that's 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:18.480 what's happening again. 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.080 Obviously, I've heard and read a lot about wow, what 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:22.880 a singular play. Well I saw in the regular season. 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.160 We all did, right and at the time when when 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.960 Minshew made that play, it like, whoa, maybe this kid 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.800 can play because that literally was the exact same play, 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:32.439 just going back the other way to a running back. 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:34.199 So we'll see what he can do for the rest 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.000 of the preseason and then maybe you know, whether it's 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:37.800 here or elsewhere, you know, give himself a chance. 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.320 Oh, that play guarantees he'll be on someone's ross. 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:41.440 I think he'll be around here. 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:47.120 It just be a matter of how it. 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:48.520 Absolutely all right. Well, stay with us. 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.480 We're gonna go over some of those plays from the rookies, 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:54.040 specifically that rookie class, that huge rookie class from last year, 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:55.440 and how they were able to come through in the 0:09:55.440 --> 0:10:07.319 first preseason game. Welcome back to Jake Zam presented by Carshield. 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.199 You can call car shield now. If your cars out 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:12.839 of manufacturer's warranty, do not get stuck with expensive mechanical 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:13.960 and computer repairs. 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:18.360 Call car shield now. We finally have some football film 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:19.040 to go over. 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.199 It is the preseason, but that's when we get to 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:22.800 see the young guys play. We get to see what 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.200 they have, specifically this rookie class which was huge, and 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.199 some undrafted free agency and a couple of second year 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.319 guys that really, you know, maybe we're on the practice 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:31.880 squad last year, didn't get a lot of playing time 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:33.000 that we got to see in action. 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.680 We're going to start out with let's see what are 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:36.440 we going to start out with? 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:37.040 Tank? 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.600 Obviously we've been talking about Tank for quite some time. 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:43.199 Right and everybody sees this, but watch eighty five. Watch 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:47.520 the tight end make the block. I'm not sure if 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:48.920 you can see it from that angle. 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.160 Yeah, you can see it. It was in tough, Yeah it was. 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:53.800 It freedom up for that big, long run. 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:55.840 And that's what you're looking for from a guy who 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:57.400 you draft in the second round, to be able to 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.920 contribute on both sides of the line. It's a great block. 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:01.040 And that's what they've been talking about. 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.439 Was Strange as well as like you know, Evan Ingrom 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.360 and Doug has spoken about as well. You know, you 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.080 may not be seeing as many catches Roun right now 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:09.640 because he's blocking and he's doing all the things they 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:10.400 want him to be doing. 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.040 And that's he drove his guy seven if you will, 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:14.600 exactly seven yards up heel. 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:19.160 He's I keep hearing how he's a run blocking tight 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.439 end and he's not a receiver. 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:22.440 I think he's both. 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.160 Every practice I see him make a good catch. Yeah, 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:28.680 and he's a rookie. I don't see why he won't 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.679 get better and better in that area. And he's already 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.800 talking to people who understand blocking far more than I do. 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:36.720 He's already a high end blocker. 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:40.079 So if he supplements that by being an average receiver, 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:42.240 you've got a really good player there. 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.200 That's important because here's the name we have not brought 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.840 up in training camp. Chris Manhertz, who was here for 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.880 two years and a powerful part of the running game, 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.720 is now in Denver. So you're gonna need Breton Strange 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:56.120 and Luke Ferrell, who by all accounts are really good 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.320 blocking tight ends to be able to do some of that. 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:00.520 Do you think they're gonna carry for no matter what? 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:04.439 Yes, totally, And in this day and age, you almost 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:10.880 have to because it does tight ends a disservice to 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:14.000 call them all the same thing, Meaning you basically have 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.839 Luke Farrow and Brittain Strange are your run tight ends, 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:21.280 and Angerman Prince are your move tight ends. 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.000 So teams keep two because you need a backup for 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:26.880 each starter at that spot essentially, and. 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.600 I think Strange has that ability to do both. I mean, 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.280 we've seen him on the practice hurt make excellent catches, 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.200 so it's not like he can't be that guy too. 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.040 He's going to be one that'll be to see where 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:37.960 he will be at the even the end of this season. 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.079 Second year, third year, I think is going to be 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.040 leaps and bounds just because of how quick he picks 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:42.440 things up. 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.600 He looks like a guy who could really be a 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:46.360 monster next year. 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.719 Yeah, time to bloss him in this offense. Get used 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:50.560 to what Doug wants to use with the tight ends. 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:51.600 Doug gloves this tight end. 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.800 Yes, let's go to defense for our next player, because 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:56.240 we've been talking about him as well, when we talk 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.400 about the fifty three, Yes, here Abdullah he was, his 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.560 presence was felt, is what I will say. In game 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.640 one he got a sack, which you know, you want 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:05.400 to talk about the pass rush all day. Here's your guy. 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:08.079 He's coming in. He's got the moves. Jeff Logerman and 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.520 I were talking last week about he just feels like 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.440 Abdula has the sense, right, He just he knows what 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.320 he needs to do. He may not, you know, people 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.880 say he's undersize whatever it is, but he finds a way. 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:20.120 He's gonna make a movie. Fine, I'll do another move. 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.960 Like he's just prepared in that way and has a 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.360 way of finding being where he needs to be at 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:26.200 any given time. 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.080 Yeah, I'll be talking about him later in the show. Ryan, 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.679 So I want, I mean a great take that I 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:31.680 had that I don't want to bring. 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.679 Yeah, right now, like the fifty six, here's the other thing. 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.640 And look, the guy was a really good pass rusher 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.920 at Louisville. Yeah, he played the run really well the 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:41.520 other day too. You know, they had a guy around 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.960 here for years named Unique and Gokway who was a 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.400 terrific pass rusher. But he was two hundred and twenty 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:50.120 pounds and when he had to stop the run, he 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.040 was not a force. This guy is going to be 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:56.800 a force. He's broad and he's strong, and he's built 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:57.760 to play the run as well. 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.440 I sure hope he does, because at the point, we 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.040 need a pass rusher, and as we've discussed, that's a 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:04.720 need that they have. So they need to build it 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.199 from within because even at this point they haven't brought 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:07.440 in yet. 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:08.920 And he's not a liability. It's not like when he's 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:10.480 on the field, you're gona go okay, we're going right there, 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:12.199 not at all. 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:13.600 I think it's great. 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:15.960 Where else are We're gonna go okay, Now, we're gonna 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.240 go to the offensive line because you know, we have 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.960 to represent Baker County as we do. It's it's tugboat 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:24.520 time because not only do we personally like Cooper Hodges. 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:26.520 He was out there for a good portion of this 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.480 game and he looked good at points. 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.040 And he set that up for Deornis Johnson. 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.480 He did. He was he was all over the place. 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:34.760 You can see him getting coached up by his fellow 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:38.040 offensive lineman. And he's a big man, so when he 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:42.680 sets a block and he's hustling there too, so tugboat 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:43.520 does cartwheels. 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.680 There's there's really little that this man can't do. 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.480 John, When do you see him maybe making his way 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.840 into the lineup on the offensive lines the next season? 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:51.200 Maybe? 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.800 Well, I would think next season. There's some guys Brian 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:57.160 who as soon as they get drafted and as soon 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.440 as they're here, you start hearing it in the water, 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.640 meaning the people are talking about him. Hey, keep an 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.760 eye on this guy, and the momentum sort of never stops. 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:12.280 He was a guy the first couple of OTAs where 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:15.440 you looked at and said, Okay, this is a big body. 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:16.800 He can move behind it. 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:21.280 He takes the right approach, He works in the locker room, 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:22.400 he sort of gets it. 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:23.320 He's a mature kid. 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.520 You know. I know you're gonna talk about this later 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:31.280 as well. Everything you hear and see. Ind case, he'll 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.960 start next year without a doubt, you know. And we're 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.520 jumping the shark on this one, but you know, your 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:39.440 right guard, your five time Pro Bowl right guard, is 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:41.280 a twenty four million dollar cap figure next year. 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.960 So the Jaguars, you know, they need to be able 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:47.000 to plug this kid in and have him be the 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:50.320 long term fixture there. Maybe Sheriff has an amazing year 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:53.040 and they decide to redo his deal. I don't know, 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.320 but cap room is precious for this team going forward 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.800 because of the quarterback. So you need Hodges to be 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:00.320 that guy. It looks like he is. And on to 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:04.240 your point, he's making the move from four years starting 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.560 at right tackle to going inside. And you and I 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:09.640 were standing on the practice field talking to Trent Bulky 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.000 during OTAs and he came over and said that this 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.520 is a guy who's good every tool, that everything you 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:21.360 need mentally, physically, everything to be a long term starter 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.440 at guard. But he's got to do the work well. 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:28.560 Watching him pull, yeah, he's doing the work well. He 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:29.120 looks good. 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.520 And in this league you need you know, we all 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:36.960 spend all off season talking about the twenty two. Well, 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.800 once the season starts the twenty two, you need thirty five. 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:42.080 Ye. 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:46.640 And I think they're deep on the offensive line. They 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:48.880 showed last year they were good depth, and I think 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:52.360 they supplemented that and kept that same depth equation if 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:58.280 you will. With Harris and for Taylor, I don't see 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.080 seeing he reads by a week nine or ten if 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.920 you have an injury. I don't It feels like he's 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:08.119 moving toward a guy that they're not going to have 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.040 a lot of angst if he would have to come 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:11.200 into the lineup late this season. 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.320 No, and you've seen instability at left guard right because 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.560 Big BArch, who by the way, has just been elevated 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.520 from the puplace today. He'll be practicing and maybe playing 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.800 this week or next week against the Dolphins. So you've 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:27.760
