We gotta look at all the newest Jags 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.040 players and it did not disappoint as much as Mini 0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:29.960 Camp really can. So let's start out with our first 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:31.760 big thing of the day, which is star of the show, 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:32.680 Travis Hunter. 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:34.200 Of course, all eyes were on. 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:35.520 Him as we got to see him in the Jaguars 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.520 uniform for the first time and brought the energy for sure. 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:40.720 Yes, it's definitely. 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:42.760 It's definitely a blessing to you know, be able to 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:44.519 do that. You know, I gotta be authentic, you know, 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:46.240 gotta bring the end v up out here. 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.640 You know, make sure everybody everyone is having fun, you know, 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:50.400 with a smile on their face and doing below. 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:54.240 Why is that important, Bryan? 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:55.960 We saw him out there dancing, but he takes it 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.120 seriously too, so he's not just out there having fun. 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.280 But nice to finally see him out there and fans 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:01.480 got to stay on Saturday as well. 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:03.880 Yeah, you know, listen for hey, mini camp, you're running 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.200 around running routes. I thought he was the star of 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.200 the show more for that social media post from his 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.160 seat mate on the flight home from Denver to Colorado, 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.640 the lady who had no idea who he was. He 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.120 helped her with the bag, yes, ma'am, no, ma'am, and 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.199 before you knew it, she's talking about becoming the season 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.560 ticket holder. I mean, he's the star of the show 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.680 for so many reasons right now, but not the least 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.880 among them is that when you hear of an interaction 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:29.760 with this superstar athlete, it's always my, gosh, what a 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:31.880 really nice guy. I'm really excited about him. 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.920 Yeah, it's from the too good to be true department. 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.520 I saw that post and the old Sinnecon was like, 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.320 I wonder if somebody's set this up. I mean, because 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.600 it was so cool that you thought it couldn't be real. 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:48.840 But this is who he is beyond that. On the field, 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:52.040 he's fast, he's quick, he's all the things he is 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:56.480 advertised with Rocky Maincamp. You just wanted to see him look, 0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:00.240 uber quick, uber athletics. 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.720 It's good that he's also a super good kid too. 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.120 Well to your pois Kai, the fans had an opportunity 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.000 to just be around him and that was what it 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.480 was all about, was to give them an opportunity to 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:14.440 see this next generation of Jaguars superstar, to feel the 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:18.679 buzz and connect and from that perspective, what an outrageously 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.040 successful hour that was. 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:21.959 Can feel the excitement on the field and off the 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.880 field of the fans as well. Our second big thing today, 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.440 go many changes last week. This is happening, but Gave 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.839 Davis dropped from the team. Obviously not a great free 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.320 agent signing from the last administration there as he's only 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.440 here one season and a lot of money left on 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.239 the line. John, I don't think there's anything we would 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.560 be surprised with at this point, because we've seen that 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.240 the front office now is not scared to do moves 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.160 that they think need to be made and make moves 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.040 that need to be made, and this was just a 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:49.079 move they felt they had to make. 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:53.920 Yeah, And sometimes when you have regime chant moves and 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:58.880 you have made moves the previous offseason, you have contracts 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.400 that you sort of get rid of. Usually those guys 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:06.359 stay through because of cap reasons. Brian, the Jaguars decided 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.119 this was not the right fit, and I think culturally 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:10.360 they wanted to move on. 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:12.240 You know, I don't know is this the catch or 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:16.160 the drop in the end zone in that's a catch, 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.919 remember the drop. It was the opening drive. The Jaguars 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.000 had been bouncing around and had no success, and they 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:26.160 desperately needed something from their thirteen million dollar receiver last year. 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.120 And you get to the Bears game and he drops 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:30.440 it and have to settle for a field goal, and 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.440 it seemed like they were on their heels. Just I 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.200 don't ever think he fits. He seemed like one of 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.680 those knee jerk free agent signings last year that the 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:42.400 Jaguars have too often engaged in. It's nice to see 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.840 this year that they didn't go that direction, give. 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.040 Some opportunity for the rookies and maybe some of the 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.280 undrafted players a chance to kind of make their way 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.480 in the wide receiver room as well. So our final 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.440 big thing today is when the schedule a release. It's 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.640 officially coming out tomorrow, but we do know now that 0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.200 the Daguars are going to play one game in London 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.960 and they're going to take on the in week seventh. Brian, 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:03.800 the last couple of years we've played two there. This 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.400 year only one game, and one needs to expect we'll 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:07.880 talk a little bit more about the schedule coming out, 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:09.040 but when do you think about the Lendon game. 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.600 Well, the why behind that is that the Jaguars have 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.320 always said it had to match up, there had to 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.159 be an opponent that was giving up their home game 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.279 in order for it to fit. And it didn't fit 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.920 this year. Obviously, in twenty six and twenty seven, when 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:25.880 the stadium is under serious construction, you can expect multiple 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:29.479 games back in London. Then, John, the league never misses 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:33.359 the opportunity to have some sort of drama on the side, 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:37.560 and obviously the storyline will be Liam Cohen and James 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.719 Gladstone and their first year taking on the Rams. 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.880 Yeah, it's gonna be a cool three or four days, 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:47.080 a cool story. And as you said, the reason there's 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.480 not two is there's no opponent. And kai guess what 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.760 in the NFL, it's hard to play without an opponent. 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:56.839 Okay, and listen, it's worth pointing out remember when everybody 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.000 was worried about the Jaguars playing multiple games in London, 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.600 and now you see a situation where they're saying, look, 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.560 it just didn't fit, so we're not But look at 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.239 all the games that the NFL announced this morning. John, 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.520 You've got games in Madrid and I forget whether it 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.080 was Berlin or Frankfurt for the game in Germany, and 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:18.159 multiple games in London and in Dublin. And we haven't 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.279 even heard who the Chargers opponent is going to be 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.280 when they go back to Brazil this year. I mean, 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.440 this is just man, this is where the league is 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:28.560 headed to, this international platform, and it's exciting in one 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.360 sense because you see all the places they're spreading the game. 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:33.760 An expansion for sure. Stay with us. 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:35.240 We're going to talk a little bit more about Mini 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.840 Caamp through a recapital here from your head coach, Liam Cohen. 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:42.600 Coming back in to jag Za. I'm going to talk 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:43.080 a little. 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:45.600 Bit more about Mini camp because that's what went down 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:47.520 last week with the rookies getting in here trying to 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.440 figure everything out. Obviously, the start of the show was 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.919 Travis Hunter and Cohen talked a little bit about his 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.560 new star player. No. 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:58.680 You know when he got here after the draft. You know, 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:00.440 we got to hang out with him for for a 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.280 little bit there, and you felt it right away, right 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:06.040 you did. You felt that infectious smile that he has 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.760 that he provides and brings into the building, very serious 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:15.080 about football, very serious about his process in order to 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.000 put himself in a position to ultimately just be in 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.120 a physical shape to be able to do this and 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.200 to run forever, and to have the stamina and strength 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:24.719 to be able to do this at a high level. 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.880 But you see him out there dancing and having fun, 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:29.040 and that's. 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:29.799 Really cool to see. 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.360 You know, we want to see some more of that. 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.520 And when he goes out there and he's doing his thing, 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.080 he is serious about this process. 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.640 Talked a little bit about what he's like off the field, 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.840 obviously that viral posting about his plane ride back from Boulder, 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.120 but just seeing him interact with the other players right, 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.600 the energy, it's infectious, And we talked a little bit 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.960 about his off the field. Just the star power that's 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:52.919 going to come along with this is pretty cool. 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.800 I wonder whether his personality John is going to take 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.960 over and become the persona of this team. You know, 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:03.800 Trevor's his doesn't just exude like this guy does. They're 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.160 just not the same personality. This one is much that 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.200 once loud. It's probably not the right word, but man, 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.760 you feel it when you're around it, and for all 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.400 the good guys in the locker room and the strong leaders. 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:19.080 This personality is different. And by the way he's used 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.800 to his personality being the personality of his team. It 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.560 was in high school, at Jackson State and at Colorado. 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.240 Yeh, some guys just when they come into the league, 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.640 they're ready to lead. 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:31.520 By being themselves. 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.040 When I was in Indie, Bob Sanders came in second 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.240 round draft pick, and it would have been a Hall 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:37.920 of Fame safety had he not gotten hurt. 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.320 But from day one he knew he belonged right. 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:47.840 And in terms of his personality, this is not fair 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:52.280 to Travis Hunter. But I keep thinking about how Magic 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:56.520 Johnson changed kream Ab bil Jabbar just by being himself. 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:57.360 And nobody thought. 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.320 Kream At Bilgebar could ever have fun on the court 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.480 in the seventies. And Magic Johnson was such a dynamic 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:06.560 personality that he's sort of changed the way the Lakers 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.360 did business. Now you have to be great to do that. 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:12.160 But Travis Hunter, you know all the stuff with Gladstone 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:14.480 talking about intangibly rich and how you can come into 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:18.320 an environment and raise it by being yourself. I don't 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.200 think this kid knows any other way to be and 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:26.760 because it comes from a place of integrity, it's who 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:28.960 he is. He can get away to danceing on the field. 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.560 You also need to be pretty good to dance in 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:35.240 the field. I've watched guys in this organization dance during 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.480 warm ups who weren't very good, and all I wanted 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:42.120 to do was telling him to stop dancing. But this guy, 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:46.760 it's not for show. It's who he is. He's always 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.640 like to use the term over his feet, He's always 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:53.440 being himself and if he's good and great, then I 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.400 absolutely think he'll be the personality of the team and. 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.600 He may make it easier for more quiet star players 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.160 like Brian Thomas to just be himself and play ball 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:02.360 and not. 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:02.960 Worry about it. 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:04.800 And I think that's one of the cool points about 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:06.480 this is we talk a lot about the new regime 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.280 coming in and I think in the last couple of 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:11.520 years they've struggled with this as well. Is making an 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.920 identity for themselves or when you have players who already 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.000 know who they are and I'm using that term who 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:18.400 he is as a person, but also as a player. 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:20.440 He feels like he understands his own skill set and 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.960 what he can contribute to a team that can give 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.040 you the identity that we feel like I've been lacking 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:25.480 for a while. 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.560 Yeah, I mean we're talking about his personality so much. 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.320 A because it's the time of year, but b because 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.400 that's one of the things that Jaguars were planning on 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.920 when they swung big to go up and get him. 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.760 He's that kind of transformative personality on the field and 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.400 off the field. They're expecting it. They're expecting him to 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.160 buy being himself transform this place. 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:49.559 All right, let's talk a little bit more about Mini camp. 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:53.000 I know it's John's favorite time of year, but coach 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.240 did talk a little bit about what he actually has 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.520 in terms of expectations and what they were working on 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:58.040 this week. 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:03.360 Called that an alignment assignment period where you know, we 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:10.000 can we've installed plays right on both sides of the ball, concepts, uh, formations, motions, 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:15.600 shifts defensively you know, calls right adjustments to these formations 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.720 and motions and shifts, and so it was just a 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.280 good op to kind of get out there, get the 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.320 huddle or I mean, it's wild when you pull these 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.280 guys on. How many of the ben in the huddle 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.600 recently and how many have heard of verbal cadence recently, 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:33.080 it's very minimal. So we are actually teaching this is 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.600 the huddle, this is where you line up in the huddle, 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.000 this is how we break the huddle, and this is 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.160 a verbal cadence. And so that is like starting at 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.000 you know, ground zero in a lot of ways. So 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.000 didn't really feel like it was fully necessary to come 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:50.480 and do true competitive eleven on eleven. But at the 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:52.000 end of the day, I think we got something out 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:53.320 of it sewn. 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.640 Perhaps the state of college football at this point, but. 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:57.880 Showing them what a huddle is, you know, showing them 0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.520 they are a proper alignments are where they're going to 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:00.559 be placed, dot on the. 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:01.920 Line, just the little things. 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:03.480 Got to get those in order because if you want 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.080 to join regular practice this week, they need to know 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:06.560 what's going on. 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:10.600 Yeah, and I think it's a very I think more 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.719 coaches are talking about it now, but I absolutely think 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:15.440 it's a huge factor when guys coming to the league. 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:24.360 Quarterbacks Trevor had not been in professional huddle and scrimmage 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:28.440 situations very much. So yeah, there's a learning curve. It's 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:32.680 what makes this time of year so critical for in 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:36.120 a new regime, but for rookies always, even if they 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.000 never take a hit, which they don't, this time of year, 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:44.640 it's vital because they're having to learn new, instinctive, natural 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.600 things to do. They're having to get their muscle memory 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:49.600 back from something they never had before. 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.880 It's not the most important time of the year, but 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.800 it's really valuable for the reasons that you just said. 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:58.960 The consistent programs, I mean, the teams that win consistently 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.600 are the teams find ways to maximize their hour on 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.960 the field of a Saturday in May. And it's pretty 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:09.079 clear listening to Liam kind of go through the litany 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.959 of reasons and rationale there of what they were trying 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:15.080 to do that this is a hyper organized coaching staff 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.600 that is making sure they maximize their time on the field, 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:19.840 and it. 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:21.480 Is that time of year where you learn the little things. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:22.839 This is how we're going to run this, so then 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.280 it's not a question when it gets to training camp 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.800 or the season. They know how things are going to operate. 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:28.800 So let's hear a. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.280 Little bit also from coach talking about some of the 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.959 players that stood out to him. 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:38.240 Jack Kaiser first and foremost on the defensive side of 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:42.880 the ball, just from a diligent standpoint. You could tell 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.920 he's already had some of those leadership qualities that you 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:50.240 look for. He's in really good physical shape coming into 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.440 camp here this weekend. I think Caleb Randsaw as well 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:57.000 stood out on the defensive secondary. Wyatt Milam did a 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.599 nice job in the drills over the course of the 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.280 last two days. And you know, really all these guys 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:03.800 did a great job. You know, we'll be able to 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.520 go watch the tape from today. A lot of mistakes 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:08.800 and things that did happen to occur yesterday, but that's 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:13.440 part of it. But overall, really appreciate their energy and enthusiasm. 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.880 Ran those are some names we're familiar with, obviously being complimentary, 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.520 but it does give me a little bit of a 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.680 sense that some of those guys can compete for starting jobs. 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.280 We've been talking about it, but it really does feel 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:24.640 that way, and it doesn't always feel that way with. 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.920 The rookie listen. I I just because I knew we'd 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:28.839 spend so much time talking about Travis Hunter, I went 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.400 a different direction and I wrote it for the website. 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.280 I spent most of my time just watching why Att 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:36.480 Milam and listen the eye test you see him immediately 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.640 you realize, okay, he's built different than most of the 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:40.120 rookie offensive linemen they come in. 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:42.760 He's big, he's tall. 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:46.720 He's broad, and he moves really well. That's all you 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.800 can see, right is the movement's skills. So I looked 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:51.280 at that and I thought, well, there's no reason just 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.959 pencil him in. I mean, make him starter. Let's go. 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.040 This line's going to look a lot different. 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:57.840 I think, well, I mean, I think so. But when 0:13:57.840 --> 0:13:59.480 you see the way that he would hit the bag 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.200 or explose off the line and then go right to 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.080 the coach with the is that what you're looking for? 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.319 Sort of am I doing that right? Or my hands 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:08.040 in the right position? It's just clear he's a guy 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.600 that belongs. I mean, I don't know whether intangibly rich 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.080 john is the right adjective to use in this case, 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.320 but in reality that's the type of player that they're 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:17.600 looking for. They got their guy. 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.480 Yeah, And as you look more and more at him, 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.360 it's hard to figure out sort of why you drop 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:23.080 guys drop. 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:25.440 He was moving from tackle to guard. 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.800 This is a kid who's very decorated in college, and 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.480 as you say, sometimes with a lignement when they get 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.160 out there, even in mini camp you're like, oh, yeah, 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.920 it's not really the body type that you like. He 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:42.800 certainly looks the part I'm excited about Kaiser. I think that, 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:48.400 as you said, I think Milam will start and the 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.920 third round safety's names escaping me and it shouldn't. 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.520 Be Ransom, so I think he starts. 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:53.720 Well. 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.400 The running back is somebody that's going to be really 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.840 interesting too, because it's clear, even though it was just 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.840 rookie minicamp, he's got an explosive first two steps. 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:01.120 Yeah. 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.320 Ye, speed is there and the strength as well, I 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.400 think is what we're gonna see. So if they can 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:08.480 pass pro well, then they'll see the field. 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:09.640 I'm sure. Stay with us here. 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.640 We're gonna talk about the schedule release coming up, and 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:13.119 we'll give you some of our predictions. 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:21.360 Move the freight, Move the freight. 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.280 Magellan Transport voted the coolest office space in Jacksonville. Can 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:30.840 head over to Magellanlogistics dot com. Welcome back into jags Am. 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:32.600 We're gonna talk a little bit about the schedule. It's 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:36.040 gonna be coming out officially on Wednesday night, but we 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.120 do have one that we already know, which is they've 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:39.360 announced the international games. 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:40.520 So the Jaguars are gonna. 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.840 Play one game in London this season. That'll be Week 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.600 seven against the Rams. A little bit different from the 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:47.480 last couple of years. We talked about just one game 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:50.080 this season because of the way things worked out with opponents. 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.360 But we're gonna try to do our best and make 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:54.280 a couple of guestimates as to what we think the 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.120 schedule is gonna look like. So for the season opener, 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.040 we all picked a game that we think maybe the 0:15:59.080 --> 0:15:59.640 season opener. 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:00.880 Brian, did you go in the cheese? 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:02.840 Well, you don't have the Chiefs a couple of times 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.600 the home opener in twenty three, we had him for 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:09.080 the season opener in twenty nineteen and in twenty thirteen. 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.920 It just seemed to me like that is a marquee 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.920 opponent of the Jaguars, you know, at the beginning of 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:18.920 the season, and have a little sex appeal with the 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.960 quarterback and his you know, his tandem of receivers of 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:25.680 Thomas and Hunter. It just seems to me like that's 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:29.320 a good game for opening day with one of the 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.880 league's marquee teams against one that they're hoping we'll take 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:32.600 a step forward. 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:35.800 Qus Minsheumani will be coming back. That's right. 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:39.440 I forgot he was there. He was the starter, if 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:43.000 you recall, because Nick Foles got hurt on opening Day 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:46.040 twenty nineteen, which wrecked that season and that's the start 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.640 of Midschewmania. That even that that makes it even more. 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:49.680 I'd forgotten he was there. 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:51.200 Completed a bunch of passes in a row. 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:52.920 Yeah, John Wade. 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:57.400 I went with the Texans because why not? 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:02.280 Yeah, there were like fourteen opponents. I went to Texans 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:07.800 because and because they opened against Miami last year it 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:12.920 was out of division. Why not put the Texans kind 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:17.200 of hoping, Uh, it's a road game at Houston. Once 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:18.600 when they opened on the road of Houston, they had 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:20.560 a great season off of seventeen. 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:22.800 So it's really hard. 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.959 I mean, it's the schedule always cracks me up because 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.120 once it comes out, everybody says, oh, well, that's why 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.160 the league did that, And there's five or six things 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:32.280 with the Jaguars. 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:33.320 You can say, well, that's why the league did that. 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:38.720 They were planning on that, But really it's it's mostly arbitrary. 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:41.560 And you can tell I had no clue last year 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:43.920 they were going to open against the Dolphins. In Miami, 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:48.280 and it really didn't have a whole lot of context 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.480 freet of team sometimes just the way it falls. 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.320 I wanted the Titans mostly because I feel like the 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:54.359 last couple of seasons have. 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:57.520 Been ending up going to Nashville, so I'm gonna will 0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:59.160 this into existence. I want to go there when it's 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.920 not freezing, So let's let's try to do that in September. 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:02.800 That would be nice. 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:05.199 Let's do what we think there's going to be for 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:07.680 primetime games. I didn't think there would be multiple this year. 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:09.760 I think we all picked one. Maybe a Thursday night 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:11.480 is kind of what we're looking at. But Brian, what 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:12.199 were you looking at? 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.800 I went with the Broncos for the obvious storyline of 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:18.960 Travis Hunter's return to Colorado. I think it's a Thursday 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.880 night game for sure. I think that there is one 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.240
