WEBVTT - Ep. 13: What Challenges do Dolphins Present? | Jags A.M. Podcast 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:05.520 Now as we prepare for preseason game number three, who 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:08.160 is the biggest threat of the Dolphins starters? 0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:10.200 Looking at the numbers to. 0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:13.560 I gotta go with Tyree. 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.440 Welcome in to JAG's Am on this Thursday, presented by 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:39.720 Field's Auto Group. I'm kay Nannie Stevens, Brian Sexton, John 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.920 Osier with us and a very special guest. We're gonna 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:44.879 talk Miami first. We're switching things up a little bit 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.640 today because we're gonna have that third preseason game against 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:49.360 the Dolphins, so we wanted to check in with one 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:52.960 of our insiders, Armando Selguero, covered the team forever, so 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:54.480 we want to check in with you and kind of 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:56.840 get an update on where the team's at. We were 0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.960 just talking about threats on the starters, but as a 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:01.720 of what you've been hearing, are we going to see 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:02.600 any starters? 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.120 Well, that is being decided this morning. 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:10.080 As a matter of fact, as we speak, Mike McDaniel 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.479 is speaking to the media. I, however, am speaking to you. 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.240 We appreciate uh, We're we're. 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.839 Going to see in the next couple of minutes whether 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:22.040 he is going to play those guys. I would say 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:26.319 to you that I wouldn't be surprised if either way. 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:30.560 To be honest with you, you know, McDaniel isn't one 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:36.000 for exposing his guys. But on the other hand, you know, 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.560 Tua and Tyreek could probably use a little owning. 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.319 And it's on the defense. 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:45.399 I would think that there will be starters on the 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:46.479 field for the Dolphins. 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.280 Armando, John Osher, I appreciate you doing this. How you doing? 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:50.800 I'm doing great? 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:51.960 John, How are you good? 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.680 Hey? Uh, We've talked a lot over the years, and 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.200 you know, we've both sort of covered some teams. 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:00.000 They're on various level. 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.400 Haven't gotten deep in the playoffs in a long, long, long, 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:08.840 long time. I'm curious we followed the Jags so closely 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:12.680 so we know what expectations are here. How high are expectations. 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.760 Everybody talks about the Bills in that division nationally, But 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.000 I get the feeling that Dolphins people and Dolphins fans 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.920 think they've got something this year, maybe to get above 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.280 that hump that they haven't gotten over in so long. 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:26.240 Yeah, it's and. 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.480 It's really now a couple of humps, right because everybody 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.840 talks about the Bills because they've won the AFC East 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:34.280 for three consecutive years. 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.120 There's a little buzz about the. 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:40.280 New York Jets as well, apparently this summer, and they've 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.959 got a certain four time MVP quarterback that has made 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.840 them very, very relevant. And that is also a team 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.480 that now is a fan and pundit. 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.280 Favorite in the AFC East. 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:57.000 Meanwhile, in Miami Dolphins, people forget they did make the 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:58.160 playoffs last. 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.240 Year in Mike McDaniel's first year. 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:04.240 They did go to Buffalo without their starting quarterback too 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:08.200 at the Tongue v LAA and they lost the playoff 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:13.000 game by you know, two points. So I would say 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.680 to you that it's a team that believes itself to 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:23.040 be a contender, more so if Jalen Ramsey hadn't gotten hurt, 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.440 and more so if their talks with Jonathan Taylor and 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:30.120 the Indianapolis Colts bring them an actual running back that 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.520 you know is going to be their belcow ball carrier. 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:37.040 Hey, Armando is Brian Sexton? How are you today? 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:38.000 Hey? Brian? 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:39.880 I want to double down on that thought, but only 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:41.640 on Tua. And I have to admit I was caught 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.840 in the bubble. We didn't see the Dolphins last year, 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:48.200 and my impression was, well, you know, Tua was injured, 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.360 he was out with the concussions most of last year, 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.280 and I'm reading the numbers. His passer rating was greater 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:58.280 than Patrick Mahomes, led the league in third down quarterback efficiency, 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.000 was at the top of the league in the red zone. 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:02.800 And the whole time I'm thinking, yay, yeah, but how 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:04.600 much did he play? And then I looked and he 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.800 played thirteen games. So my question is if not for 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.520 those you know, concussions that kind of created the air 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.440 that Tua was so limited last year, would we be 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.760 talking about him as an elite quarterback, one of those 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.960 you know, top tier guys. 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.000 Absolutely, And I get it. 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:28.359 It's a one year change, of course for Tua because 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:33.000 the previous you know, two years under a different coach. 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:36.119 By the way, under Brian Flores, he wasn't that guy. 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:40.120 He didn't show a whole lot that would suggest he's 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.719 going to be in the top ten, much less elite. 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:49.880 When he threw those six touchdown passes against the Baltimore Ravens, 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.279 that kind of opened some eyes and changed the narrative 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.200 and he went from there. Obviously, the question with him 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.560 now is durability. Dude, you can't be elite you can't 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:04.040 be good, you can't be great certainly if you are 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:04.960 not on the field. 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.680 And so that is the question for Tua. 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:10.400 I want to check in with you, Armando. I know 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.000 there's been some controversy with too It lately. Ryan Clark 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.080 calling him out, said he looked like he hasn't been training, 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:16.760 but he's put on some weight. What does he look 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:18.919 like in person? I assume he needed to put on 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:20.160 a little bit of muscle and a little bit of 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:21.520 weight to try to stay on the field. 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:27.960 Right, So he's two hundred and seventeen pounds dripping wet 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:32.160 before the off season began, he's about two twenty two 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:33.680 to twenty four now. 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.720 The idea that he didn't work out this offseason. 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:43.560 Two has always been thick from the hips down, from 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:47.320 the waist down, really, and he continues to be that. 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.360 He's built up the upper body a little bit so 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:55.040 that he can maintain and not necessarily hit his head 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.240 every single time he goes down. 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.520 He also took jiu jitsu season. 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.000 The whole point is avoid the concussion. Because he had 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.640 two last year. Some people would say he had three, 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.600 and everyone knows if you have another one this year, 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:16.080 you know three concussions in a year. That's a that's 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.719 a bad situation to be in. And we wouldn't be 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.039 talking about missing a game or two. We would be 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:26.440 talking about missing you know, way more significant time. I 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.039 almost said a month or two, but it could be 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:30.000 even more than that. 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.159 It's a good thing to keep an eye on. Certainly, 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:37.200 obviously his health he's taking paramount. What do you see 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.679 in terms of us We talk about how people perceive 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.160 Trevor Lawrence all over the place, and he's getting a 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:43.880 little bit of hype. But what do you guys know 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.279 of him? And how do you see him as being 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:47.360 a threat to the league now? 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:54.960 I watched the playoffs and I was at camp talking 0:06:55.000 --> 0:07:01.159 with Doug Peterson last year before the you know, the production. 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.160 And he hasn't had a uh, you know. 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:09.920 A eyebrow raising blowout season. But he hasn't had Calvin 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:14.680 Ridley before, and he hasn't had a playoff team under 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:19.600 him before. Uh, the Jags are coming. Everybody knows it 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:25.280 in that division. Everybody knows it. And obviously the quarterback 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.040 is about fifty percent of that. 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.360 That's a that's a good team, that's a good roster. 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.200 And I love Dub Peterson as a coach. 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.480 I covered him as a player low those many years 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:38.720 ago in Miami. 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.360 I mean, we talked about expectations for this team, but 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:46.280 you've been around it a long time. You've seen various 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.280 levels of good teams and struggling Dolphins teams. How do 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:54.600 you think this team will do? The Dolphins? 0:07:55.040 --> 0:08:01.680 Dolphins look they are, they have an outstanding roster. 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:06.080 Anything less than the playoffs is a disappointment. 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:11.760 They are to the point where people expect actual playoff run. 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.560 That hasn't happened in South Florida. 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.760 They haven't won a playoff game since January of two thousand. 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:25.600 So the millennium, the new millennium hasn't been kind to 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:30.160 them and the drought has been very long. And folks 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.360 expect to drink playoff victories this year. 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.239 Notice I said victories. 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.640 That tell ye that that playoff winning Junior two thousand. 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.120 Would that have been the win over Seattle at the 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:41.720 old Kingdome before they came here? 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:42.960 No? 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:50.680 Actually it was against the Colts where I forgot the guy's. 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:56.439 Name, but Lamar something, Lamar something he played off for 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.760 like you know, he carried the ball close to forty 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.320 times and he rushed for two hundred and twelve yards. 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.960 But I remember the stats. I just don't, Lamar Smith, 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.680 But have they remember trying to? 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.120 Are you saying that they haven't won a playoff game though? 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:15.640 Since with sixty two to seven loss here, they haven't 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:20.160 won one since? Then the next year, the next year. Sorry, 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.440 I thought you meant it. Okay, gotcha? Hey, The question 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.319 I have for you real quick is the impact that 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.400 you've seen from Vic Fangio on the defensive side, and 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.719 will they see Jalen Ramsey this year and if they do, 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.360 how does that impact them completely on defense? 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.040 Yeah, the Jalen Ramsey expects to be back on the 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.880 field by November, and the Dolphins expect them to be 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:47.640 back on the field by December, and everyone is hopeful. 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.120 We'll see how that works out, because it's not just 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.160 getting back on the field, as you guys know, it's 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.960 also getting back on the field and being Jalen Ramsey. 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.280 Without Jalen Ramsey, all of a sudden, that corner back 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:05.360 tandem with Xavian Howard on the other side becomes much 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:10.720 less so of a threat to opposing quarterbacks. Vic Fango 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:14.040 is a stud. He was you know, he was the 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:19.960 best defensive mind available in the offseason, and the Dolphins 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.360 are paying him like he was because he deserves it. 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.840 He's proven it over the years. Was he a great 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:27.720 head coach? 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.079 No, but because he didn't get the results. 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:35.559 But his defenses were great and before that his defenses 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.800 were great. And the expectations are in Miami, his defense 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:40.480 will be great. 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:46.360 I know who the cult defensive coordinator was in the 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.800 last Dolphins playoff win was Vic Fangia. 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:54.640 We love a throwback, Armanda. Thank you so much for 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.480 joining us. We're looking forward to this tune up on 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.640 Saturday before the regular season begins, and we always appreciate 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.280 hearing from our opponents and what we're gonna be going 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.240 up against. All right, coming up, we will go on 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:06.839 and talk a little bit about what this team is 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:08.480 doing this week and we'll give you a preview of 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:24.280 Saturday's game. Welcome back to Jags Am presented by Field's Autogroup, Jacksonville. 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:28.480 Step up to Luxury Fieldsauto dot Com. I'm Cannanni Stevens, 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.600 Brian Sexton, John Oser. We started off with our guest 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.040 getting a little preview of Saturday's game against the Dolphins. 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:34.880 So now we're gonna bring you the big things. Big 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.480 thing Number one is gonna be the star of the show. 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.240 We've been talking about backup quarterbacks QB three maybe, but 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.560 let's be honest, this whole thing is about Trevor Lawrence 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:44.400 and what we're gonna see from him this year. So 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.120 how excited do you? John will start with you to 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.319 see Trevor actually out there what this offense will be 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.040 capable of, because we're gonna see him at least a 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.360 half and maybe a preview what we'll see the season. 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.360 I'm very interested to see what they do. You would 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:02.319 like to keep it in perspective season certainly, but if 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.280 they get four series, I think they would certainly like 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.800 to get a couple of touchdowns. You'd like to keep 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.760 the three and outs to you know, one or none, 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.600 and you would like to see them drive the ball. 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:20.080 You'd like to see them get convert situations even beyond touchdowns, 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.040 which are important. You would like to see them get 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:24.960 into a rhythm in the middle of the field. And 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:26.840 you kind of feel what I'm talking about more than 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.960 I can really explain it, Brian, But you know, maybe 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.280 a couple of quick tempo plays where you're throwing to 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.439 Kirk over the middle, and then you've got Ridley on 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:38.120 a fifteen yard path where they sort of show what 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.959 they're about and that they're in rhythm all off season. 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:43.560 These guys. 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.160 I to Christian Kirk the other day, and even after 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:51.280 the interview, he said, Trevor's just playing fast. You'd like 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.240 to see that playing fast, and that means reading it easy, 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:57.880 making quick throws, looking the part, looking confident. If they 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.400 don't score, I mean, you want to touch downs, but 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:01.760 I want to see that more than I want to 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:02.440 see anything else. 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:02.720 Brian. 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:08.320 I watched press yesterday, Press Taylor the offensive coordinator in 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.440 this news conference, and he was getting questions about the 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.400 third quarterback and the fifth wide receiver, and I could 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:18.280 just see his eyes gloss over. That's roster building. That 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.559 is the area of the coach and the general manager. 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.920 He's focused on the quarterback, right. He wants to make 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.800 sure that Trevor Lawrence because as Trevor Lawrence goes, this 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:31.160 entire franchise goes. So while we get all caught up 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.880 in Nathan Rourke or Jacob harris Man, he's not thinking 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:38.559 about that at all. His entire focus is on making 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:40.480 sure that sixteen is where he needs to be And 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:44.280 the word that both sixteen and Press used yesterday was clean. 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:49.240 What you're talking about is a clean performance, meaning you 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.440 go out, you don't have to make it complicated. We 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.800 do what we do right, the lands, the patterns, whatever 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.040 it is, the running game, the defense, and we just 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:57.960 go out and we do it well. Doesn't matter what 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.079 the score is, None of that matters. Are we in 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.520 a position where we can launch into a regular season 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.720 mode when it's time to get ready for the Colts. 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:10.160 But the entire storyline of camp ends with the quarterback. 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.600 Is the quarterback ready to take the next step? Because John, 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.320 as you've said, if he takes that next step, this 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:17.599 team is in contention. 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:18.280 Oh no doubt. 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:25.680 And the thing to remember whatever happens on Saturday. We've 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.760 all been around the NFL enough to note, yes it applies, 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:32.920 yes you want it, but once that thing kicks off 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:34.640 on Sunday. 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.160 In two weeks. 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.680 I've been around teams it looks off on the preseason 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:40.960 and come out and just roll in the first quarter 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:41.720 of that first game. 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:43.520 I've been around that does the opposite. 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:47.680 It's nice, it'll make them feel better for two weeks, 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:52.200 but once the lights really go on, it's it's a 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:53.280 different thing that. 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:54.560 You just don't see Saturday. 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:57.480 You just don't want to finish camp in the preseason 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.760 going oh that was ugly, to walk off the field 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:02.640 go okay, all right, good, don't have to be perfect, 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.880 but you just want to go into the tunnel and say, okay, good, 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:06.360 let's go. 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.040 And that's our big thing number two. You mentioned it already, Brian, 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:10.880 but we want to keep it clean, right, and that 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.240 goes for everybody. We want to see the defense also 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.040 going out there not making mistakes. We don't want to 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.200 see dumb penalties. I think a lot of this is, 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.840 you know, mentally being prepared for the season as well. 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:21.920 We've talked as much about that as Doug's not going 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.240 to put up with dumb mistakes like that. He'll give 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.920 you a chance, but you need to be mentally prepared 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.320 for the season. How much of this coming out in 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.160 that final preseason game is just showing that you're ready 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:33.640 to go do your job. 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:37.240 Know what the job is, do the job. It's that 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:41.400 simple for guys. And there are a number of guys, kay, 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.040 who have had to learn different positions, who've had to 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:47.280 be multi dimensional because of injuries here and there, but 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.720 show that you know that you belong by doing your job. 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.160 We said it yesterday. Coaches want to trust that when 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.320 they put you on the field that you can handle 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.680 the situation that they're putting you into, that you can 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.760 handle the job. Go prove that you can do it. 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:06.280 The other thing on clean is healthy. You just can't 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:10.640 have many more nicks, bumps and bruises amongst the big 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.160 guys because on both sides right now you're banged up. 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.680 Yeah. I think as much as penalties, which does indicate 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:22.480 non cleanliness or dirty as it or, I think when 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:26.640 coaches look at this, they also look at being clean 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.040 on and off the field when you're trying to get 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.000 substitutions guys in and out. 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:33.000 I think the. 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.600 Penalties that we'd bother the coaches the most is if 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:37.080 all of a sudden you look up and you've got 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.640 ten men on the field or twelve, which means guys 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:43.200 aren't really dialed in on that front. On the other 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:44.440 side of that is you're working with a lot of 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.560 different combinations in preseasons. You're gonna have mistakes. But I 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:49.880 think they'd like to be clean there. It shows that 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:51.880 the guys are on top of it. If they have 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.560 some interference penalties, some action type penalty, they're not gonna 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.480 worry about it, but it's the penalties of preparation showing 0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:59.120 that they're dialed in and mentally ready for this thing 0:16:59.160 --> 0:16:59.680 to get started. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.320 Clean area or one worry. They need to be clean coverage. Right, 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:07.640 We've seen some returns, sizable returns in both Dallas and 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.680 Detroit against this team. They got to get that stuff 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:12.359 cleaned up now. Part of that, and Heath Farwell's going 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.720 to talk a little later today, is just the number 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:16.879 of guys that you're rotating in and out, trying to 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.320 make sure that you have a good evaluation as to 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:20.600 whether they belong here or not. 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:21.000 Yeah. 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:22.960 Thing Doug said about that, Brian, not to interrupt, no, 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:29.879 which I did. They purposely kicked short in the preseason 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:32.800 to get a look at those guys, so I didn't 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:34.840 get the impression they were overly worried about it now, 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:36.360 but you do want to see it clean when they 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:37.080 have returned. Right. 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:39.800 Our final big thing is going to be that to 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:41.719 a test. As we mentioned, we're not sure how much 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:43.919 we'll see or if we will see the Miami starters, 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:45.520 but if we do, it'll be the first starting quarterback 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.440 we've seen the preseason, and as the defense is always 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.639 a question mark on this team because we love the offense. 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:53.520 Quote love the offense so much because it's going to 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.520 be so great, but we questioned the defense a lot. 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.320 And to be fair, it would be nice to see 0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.320 them up against a starting quarterback to see what they 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:02.159 actually have out there, because they looked good against you know, 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:04.800 second third string. But what will Tua bring if he's 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:05.200 on the field. 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.040 Well, I would assume that if they're going to play Tua, 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:10.240 and we don't know that for sure that they're gonna 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:11.719 play waddle in hill, I mean, you're not. 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:13.680 That's a whole other challenge, right. 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:17.159 So what he brings is that starting offense, which he 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:21.160 was the highest rated passer in the regular season, missing 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:23.600 four starts last year one oh five point six. I 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:24.760 think at Patrick. 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:26.080 Mahomes was one oh five point two. 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:30.080 So clearly he brings a very efficient passing offense. So 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.639 we're gonna test the pressure and the ability to get 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.639 after a mobile quarterback, and immediately we're gonna test the 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:39.280 coverage on the guy who led the NFL and receive it. Well, sorry, 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:41.919 he was second in receiving led the AFC in receiving 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:43.280 yards last year in Tyreek Hill. 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:45.600 Yeah, I'm gonna say something the fans won't love. 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:46.479 Uh Oh. 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:50.719 If the Dolphins are in this regular season game and 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:53.200 they're in their fourth week and they're operating at a 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:54.040 high level. 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:56.080 They're gonna score on the Jags. 0:18:56.200 --> 0:19:00.880 Just like if the Jags are playing with this offense, 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.760 this fan base would expect them to score against any 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:05.480 defense in the league. 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:06.040 The Dolphins. 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:08.760 And my point with that is there's a handful of 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.800 teams that you look at that are good enough offensively 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:15.080 with enough weapons that you're going to need to get 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.320 up in the stratosphere on offense to be able to 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:18.960 hang with it. I'd put the Chiefs there, the Bills, 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.280 the Bengals. My point with this is the Dolphins of 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.720 that sort of team. There's other contending teams forty nine ers, 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:28.480 maybe the Ravens at times that I think are really 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:31.920 really good but maybe don't have to go win shootouts. 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:35.280 The Dolphins can go score with you no matter how 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:39.200 well you're playing defensively, which in the Jaguars play well defensively. 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.640 Make it feel really good, but I wouldn't necessarily Oh 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:43.280 my God, the Dolphins scored a touchdown. 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:45.200 They're gonna score a lot of touchdowns this year. 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:48.000 So play well and be able to break some serves. 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.280 But this is a good offensive team. Get a lead, 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.560 yeah right, give the defense a chance to tee off. 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:55.320 Wouldn't we love that? Fingers crossed, fingers crossed for it? 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:57.000 All right, stay with us. We're gonna do. He will, 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.240 he won't, he might coming up for Saturday's game. We'll 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:05.840 see after the break. Welcome back to Jags Am. We're 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:08.800 talking Saturday's final preseason game versus the Miami Dolphins. That's 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.480 brought to you by Ticketmaster, the official ticket marketplace of 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:13.879 the Jaguars and the NFL. Not a bad game to 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:15.880 check out because I'm sure preseason prices are a little 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:18.199 bit more reasonable, and we're gonna see the starters for 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:21.400 the Jags at least the first half, so unlike other 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.280 preseason games where you maybe you don't see anybody, this 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:26.199 should be good, good football to watch. So we're gonna do. 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:27.960
