0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:41.519
<v Speaker 1>We'll have a preview of the Colts Jaguars matchup in

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 1>week one right around the corner. Big test for this

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars defense. Certainly, how they played against the run last

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 1>season was not good enough. Far from it. They'll get

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 1>a test this week against the Colts team that ran

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the ball very effectively last year. The debut of the

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars offense is on the dock. Coming up. What will

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 1>this thing really look like? And we'll find out. Tony

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Wasselli joins us at four thirty today and then Doug

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Baron joins us at five o'clock on the Doug bron Show.

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Lockerman, good afternoon, It's Game week. Finally, Hey, j P.

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Excited Uh, We've got a little football action tonight and

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>then the Jaguars home opener against the division to put

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 1>it on Sunday. So it's setting up to be a

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>pretty good week. Yeah, I would say some game tonight.

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Fantastic matchup of quarterbacks tonight. The defending champions are at

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Arrowhead this evening against the Texans. Well, you know we're

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna pick that game a little bit later in the show.

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I know you can't wait for that. Let's say, get

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>to the news of the day. The Jags back on

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the practice field Thursday to get ready for the Colts.

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>They were one running back shorter, though divine A Zigbo

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 1>placed on the reserve injured list after that hamstring injury

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>that he misspracticed with yesterday, So he's gone. The Jaguars

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>sign all right, I'm gonna try this. Log's dary. That's

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. That's pretty good. A couple of tricky names.

0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Are you very surprising about a Zigbo? I mean, holy count,

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:18.360
<v Speaker 1>hamstring and practice just kind of odd there, and especially

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 1>with all the attention that the Jaguars running back position

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>has gotten this week and last week with the release

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>of Leonard Fournett and uh, and then James Robinson. When

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 1>they put out the depth chart, He's right at the

0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>top of it. And so the expectation was, Okay, it's

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 1>going to be a shared role between Thompson or Zigbo

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>and Robinson. And now Zigbo goes to I R which

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>means that he can come back later on in the

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 1>season and play for this football team. And then they

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>go and sign dari Obo. And the only reason that

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I can pronounce that is that we played the Texans

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>when he was with the Texans, and it was one

0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 1>of the most challenging names that that I had to

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>pronounce and the easy way, and I always do it.

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I've got these uh little flip card my cheat sheets

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>JP and that you've seen me carrying it around all

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the time, and I make a ton of notes. And

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>if I have a guy's name that is incredibly hard

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.959
<v Speaker 1>to say or to pronounce, I write the name out

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>phonetically that way that even BESSELLI could read my chart

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and get it right, even though he doesn't. You know

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>what's funny, though, I haven't spelled out phonetically as well,

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:29.360
<v Speaker 1>and I still Butcher. But hey, that's the way it

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.079
<v Speaker 1>goes sometimes. But we'll I get used to that name

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 1>because he's one of three running backs that at least

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>currently are on the active roster for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 1>The injury report just came out as well. Josiah Scott,

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>rookie cornerback, was added today. He did practice full though,

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>but he's listed with a shoulder so but a full

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>practice was not on the list yesterday. Tyler Eiffort full

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 1>today after a scheduled day off Wednesday. James O'Shaughnessy practiced yesterday,

0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 1>but a scheduled day off today. Tyler Davis, the rookie

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 1>tight end from Georgia Tech with the knee issue, is

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 1>not practiced this week yet. And then Adam godsis added

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>to the list of the scheduled day off today. And

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>then as we mentioned, Divina Zigbo is on injured reserve.

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>So there's your at least thursday injury report for the Jags.

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 1>And if you look at the Colts sidelogs, the whole

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 1>left side of the offensive line for the Colts is

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:25.279
<v Speaker 1>on the list today. Yeah. I don't think that's a

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.280
<v Speaker 1>big deal with them, Uh, you know, I think that's

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>more of a precautionary thing, you know that I don't

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:32.919
<v Speaker 1>want to say it's a scheduled day off, because if

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 1>that was the case, it would it would end up

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.279
<v Speaker 1>saying that, like the Jaguars have certain guys that have

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 1>scheduled days off, but I think those are more precautionary,

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.480
<v Speaker 1>and I think the concern and what is going to

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>be interesting, I know that we'll have to talk to

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Doug Moron about this later on during the Doug Marrone Show,

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:52.920
<v Speaker 1>is that this year the rules are a little bit

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 1>different about how you can bring guys up from the

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 1>practice squad as opposed to what they've been in the past.

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, this year you had the expanded practice squad

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.320
<v Speaker 1>roster in which you can have even veterans and the

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 1>and the number was expanded to sixteen. Well, in past years,

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>if you wanted, for example, let's say Davis the tight end,

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 1>let's say he can't play this week, Well, what would

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.600
<v Speaker 1>you do, Well, you would release somebody off of your

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 1>fifty three to be able to elevate maybe, uh, Ellison,

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 1>did I say that right? Ellison? Else? And the other yeah,

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 1>the young tight end that they don't have that practice squad,

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 1>yes from North Dakota State. Well, in years past they

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 1>would have to let somebody go to to be able

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>to elevate Ellison off the practice squad to be able

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 1>to play on game day. The rules are different this year,

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.160
<v Speaker 1>and uh and I was talking to Dug Run a

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.039
<v Speaker 1>little bit about that earlier today, and we'll go into

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 1>greater detail with it with him because he can explain,

0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I think a whole lot better than me. But now

0:05:56.040 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to release somebody to elevate somebody from

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>the practice squad, which is a big difference than in

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>years past. So essentially what the practice squad is now,

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 1>it's really just an expanded roster. And I think the

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 1>only difference is is that if a player is elevated

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>from the practice squad to be active on game day,

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>then he ends up getting a minimum salary one sevente

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 1>paycheck instead of a practice squad salary. So it gives

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the team's great flexibility. And obviously the whole reason that

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>they put this in was in the case of a

0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 1>huge outbreak of COVID nine team with a football team,

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>they wanted to allow teams to be able to feel

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the teams. Hey, look if you got fifteen guys or

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>sixteen guys, hey just elevate the whole practice squad and

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 1>let's go, Because with contact tracing, you never know what

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>might end up happening. If all of a sudden, one

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.080
<v Speaker 1>guy is sick and and he was around twelve other

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 1>guys or fifteen other guys, you may end up having

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.039
<v Speaker 1>to utilize all of that practice squad. So, even though

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 1>the rules were designed for COVID nineteen JP, I think

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>the rules provide a lot of flexibility for teams this

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 1>year to be able to utilize that practice squad in

0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.599
<v Speaker 1>a much different fashion than what they have done in

0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>past year. And you know, considering that there was no

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.840
<v Speaker 1>preseason games this year kind of gives some guys that

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 1>may not have had a chance to to really show

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot under the lights, which they might not still,

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 1>but at least they're still involved in an NFL team

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 1>with an expanded opportunity on the on the practice. What

0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.760
<v Speaker 1>excited to hear what Doug Moron says about that? Um,

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 1>let's hear from Doug Moron now. In fact, he was

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 1>asked this week, with the opener looming on the horizon

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>here a few days away, is it exciting or daunting?

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 1>It's definitely exciting, you know, I mean, you know, you

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 1>see a bunch of guys that have worked, you know,

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 1>extremely hard, to see guys that are pulling together. Um,

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm not you know, obviously you can't predict

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, what what's gonna occur, but um, you know

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:58.680
<v Speaker 1>the focus, Um, you know all the things that you're

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>looking for that you're kind checking off the box, things

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 1>that may cause you anxiety. You know, we've worked extremely

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:10.280
<v Speaker 1>hard about you know, discipline. We've worked extremely hard on penalty's.

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>We've worked extremely hard and you know, not turning the

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 1>ball over and creating turnover. So you know, we we

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 1>put a lot of time in this and and it's

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>been reflective in the practice now. Um, you know when

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 1>you go out there and play, you know you expect

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 1>that to carry over, but that doesn't always happen. Head

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Coachmarone earlier this week. Yeah, I mean excited. That's the

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.079
<v Speaker 1>way he has to be, right, I mean, he's the

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.200
<v Speaker 1>head coach of the team. This is a group that

0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.920
<v Speaker 1>he believes in. It is a younger, excus younger, but

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:44.199
<v Speaker 1>they are veteran in certain key areas, especially the offensive line.

0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 1>So he's excited for what this team can bring to

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 1>the table this year. Logs well, first and foremost, and

0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people say, how can you be excited

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 1>because you're young and this team is tanking. Look, they

0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>put together a roster that they think that they can

0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>win with, but then also build to the future with.

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Now is that going to happen or not? I mean,

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 1>that's debatable, you know, and you can argue different ways,

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>and eventually the win and lost record is gonna end

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.440
<v Speaker 1>up being the truest indicator obviously of was it the

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:16.079
<v Speaker 1>right thing to do and is it the right thing

0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 1>to do? But there's a lot of reason for excitement

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:22.319
<v Speaker 1>this week, jp whether you have a young football team

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>or whether you have an older football team right now.

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 1>First off, it's kickoff weekend, and kickoff weekend in the

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>NFL is incredible, especially when the nation is still in

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 1>the midst of a global pandemic and many people didn't

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 1>even expect the NFL to be able to pull this off,

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.960
<v Speaker 1>So it's exciting from that aspect. Also, it is the

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.000
<v Speaker 1>home opener, and the home openers, even though you're not

0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna have plus strong, it still means something. And also

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 1>it's a divisional opponent, you know, so even though you're

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 1>going against teams to where the whole secrecy thing and

0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 1>and to where you know, nobody knows what they did

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 1>in the preseason. You don't get to see their players,

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 1>and uh and the team's as we know, JP they

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 1>went to their utmost to protect all of their little

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 1>trade secrets because camps were closed this year and they

0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>weren't seen by other teams. Even though all of that happened,

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 1>there's there's still some others. But there's so much excitement.

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I think when the season gets started. I don't care

0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 1>if you're you're the favorite, the Kansas City Chiefs playing tonight,

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.560
<v Speaker 1>or you're the Jacksonville jagut Wars which many people have

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.720
<v Speaker 1>thirty two and the power polls. There's always excitement to

0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the newness of the season. And right now it's zero

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and zero everybody zero and zero, and that that's why

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 1>they play the game. We're gonna find out this weekend

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 1>where this Jaguars football team is at. And now I

0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 1>will say this too, not only this week, but the

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>next week the Titans on the road in Nashville. I mean,

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get a really good idea of how the

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars are going to fair in the a s C. South.

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Really quick this season. The first two weeks of the

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.840
<v Speaker 1>year here they come. Well, and let me kind of

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:04.000
<v Speaker 1>add to that, because you know, during this past Saturday,

0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>when the general manager Dave called well talked, he alluded

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.840
<v Speaker 1>to that and said that, hey, look we're gonna know

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.840
<v Speaker 1>right away. We've got a couple of tough games, and

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.199
<v Speaker 1>obviously some people are picking the Colts and the Texans

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:19.760
<v Speaker 1>to be favorites, etcetera, etcetera. And you know, look, you

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 1>don't play the first two weeks to find out where

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.679
<v Speaker 1>you're at, where you're at. You know, you play to

0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:29.080
<v Speaker 1>win and then you figure out where you're at at

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the end of the season. That's what mattered. It doesn't

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 1>matter where you are in Week two, because as a

0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:38.600
<v Speaker 1>football team, you can still get better and from week one,

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 1>week too, all the way until your week sixteen, you know.

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's what Bill Belichick has had such

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>great success in New England is that he always, even

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.200
<v Speaker 1>though he had Tom Brady and Gronkowski, and that he

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 1>always preached improvement throughout the season, and his team's always

0:11:54.960 --> 0:12:00.200
<v Speaker 1>improved throughout the regular season. So I'm a little don't

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.280
<v Speaker 1>want to say shocked, but I'm a little surprised at

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 1>at you know, the comments that you know, after two

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.720
<v Speaker 1>weeks we're gonna know where we are. Well again, I

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 1>want to say that, look, after two weeks, it doesn't

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>matter where you are. It's after sixteen weeks, you know,

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.680
<v Speaker 1>the whole goal is to get to the playoffs when

0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the division, get to the playoffs and get in the

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.400
<v Speaker 1>tournament race. And so with the young football team, I

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.560
<v Speaker 1>think the most important thing is is that you've got

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.600
<v Speaker 1>to get better every week so that when the end

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.360
<v Speaker 1>of the season rolls around, you feel good about where

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 1>you are and where you can be. All right, let's

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 1>come back in a moment, Logs and we'll get into

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.640
<v Speaker 1>the Jaguars defense and what they have in store this

0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.439
<v Speaker 1>week against the Colts offense with one of the top

0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:45.360

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it's you know one of their strengths. They've

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 1>added some great weapons on the outside too, and obviously Philip,

0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 1>but um, I think that's the strength of their ball club. Um,

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're gonna have our work cutout for us. Um,

0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.200
<v Speaker 1>they're very good players. UM I think we have some

0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:54.400
<v Speaker 1>good matchups that that, uh, we're gonna try to get

0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:58.000
<v Speaker 1>to in different situations and stuff like that. But um,

0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 1>it is definitely their strength and we're gonna to challenge

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 1>our guys up front. It's it's it's been a week

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.080
<v Speaker 1>where we have challenged the heck out of our front

0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.359
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know, they're one of the best fronts

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.240
<v Speaker 1>in the league. And we're fortunate up that we get

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:15.719
<v Speaker 1>to seem twice a year. Todd Wash talking about the

0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:18.760

0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:29.400
<v Speaker 1>away from Tony Boselli joining us at four thirty. So

0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:31.560
<v Speaker 1>here we go right in the fire against one of

0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:34.959
<v Speaker 1>the top offensive linds in football. And we mentioned earlier

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.879
<v Speaker 1>that three of the guys are are on the injury report.

0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.960
<v Speaker 1>But it just doesn't seem like they have missed the opener.

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.200
<v Speaker 1>But who knows. Let's but this is a group that look,

0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:46.840
<v Speaker 1>they have thrown so much money at this position, at

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:50.000
<v Speaker 1>at this group across the front over the last couple

0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:53.439
<v Speaker 1>of years to really solidify things their draft equity and

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.000
<v Speaker 1>some free agent money and new contracts. I mean, look

0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.960
<v Speaker 1>at the numbers. Costanzo is on a two year deal

0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.840
<v Speaker 1>thirty three billion. There's quentnin Nelson still in his rookie

0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.679
<v Speaker 1>deal all guaranteed twenty three point eight. Ryan Kelly just

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:10.280
<v Speaker 1>got paid fifty million total contract, Lewinski the right guard,

0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:14.600
<v Speaker 1>three year, sixteen million. Brandon Smith a second year player,

0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.679
<v Speaker 1>a second round pick, still at his rookie deal, but

0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.679
<v Speaker 1>they feel like he's a really solid player on the

0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.919
<v Speaker 1>right side too. So it's a successful group. It's a

0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:27.359
<v Speaker 1>consistent group. They didn't miss a snap last year across

0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:29.680
<v Speaker 1>the front, and they're all back and most of these

0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:36.960
<v Speaker 1>guys are paid. So that's pretty good group somewhere. Why

0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.760
<v Speaker 1>in the hell did you finally decide to address the

0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:45.760
<v Speaker 1>offensive line with me gone right? He took a beating

0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.639
<v Speaker 1>while he was with Indianapolis and Ryan Griggson, the general

0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:52.199
<v Speaker 1>manager essentially got fired for it, and rightly so. But

0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I think what is is interesting is that the things

0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:57.560
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned about the Colts that you know, they played

0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.240
<v Speaker 1>all sixteen games last year and they were I think

0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the only offensive line that we're all able to do

0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.800
<v Speaker 1>that and play every play. But the Jaguars are also

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.639
<v Speaker 1>returning all five starters from the offensive line from a

0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:10.840
<v Speaker 1>year ago. This I don't know how many times this

0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 1>has ever happened in league history. Where do you have

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:18.520
<v Speaker 1>an opening game on kickoff weekend where both teams return

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:22.120
<v Speaker 1>all five starters from the year before. It's very rare,

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:27.000
<v Speaker 1>and obviously it's something that because that is the case,

0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:30.320
<v Speaker 1>that both teams have an expectation out of that offensive

0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:33.679
<v Speaker 1>line to be something that you can count on, and

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:36.760
<v Speaker 1>the Colts have proven that they can be counted on

0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:40.760
<v Speaker 1>as an offensive line. That Jaguars are trying to reach

0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that level of success, and so I think it's gonna

0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:47.639
<v Speaker 1>be an interesting watch and it obviously makes Philip Rivers

0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.760
<v Speaker 1>very comfortable. When you're talking about a seventeenth year quarterback

0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:53.520
<v Speaker 1>who is a little long in tooth and maybe the

0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.840
<v Speaker 1>not the most fleet of foot, he doesn't have great

0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:00.119
<v Speaker 1>escapability outside of the pocket, but he can maneuver are

0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.320
<v Speaker 1>in a pocket. And I'm sure it was one of

0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.640
<v Speaker 1>the big reasons why Philip Rivers decided to go to Indianapolis.

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:08.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, talk about comfort level, you know, leaving

0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:12.919
<v Speaker 1>San Diego slash l A. And I'm surprised I got

0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.479
<v Speaker 1>both of those cities mentioned with the Chargers, which I'm

0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:18.240
<v Speaker 1>proud of myself for that JP by the way, and

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:20.760
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden, he's got some familiarity with

0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Frank Reich and Sara Janni the offensive coordinator, and they

0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:27.200
<v Speaker 1>have a great offensive line. I mean, does it get

0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:30.399
<v Speaker 1>any better than that for Philip Rivers to continue his career?

0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.960
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, I think it's a pretty great set

0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:36.400
<v Speaker 1>up for a guy like him. Now, before we went

0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:38.639
<v Speaker 1>to the break, he referred to him as a future

0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Famer. That's debatable. I think. I think it's

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:44.439
<v Speaker 1>a great argument, but I wouldn't put him in that

0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:49.280
<v Speaker 1>category yet. I don't think there's much of a debate. Logs,

0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:54.439
<v Speaker 1>I'll be honest with you, he's every statistical category. I

0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:58.159
<v Speaker 1>know he hasn't won one, but well, I know I

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:00.480
<v Speaker 1>get you. But you know what when you when you

0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:04.280
<v Speaker 1>play quarterback and you coach, what do you judged on

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:10.359
<v Speaker 1>wins winning the Big One? The Big One? Yeah, wins

0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:12.680
<v Speaker 1>in in the Big One, and and he hasn't He

0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:16.119
<v Speaker 1>hasn't done that. So is it enough to get him

0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:19.840
<v Speaker 1>into Hall of Fame? Probably so, But I don't think

0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.120
<v Speaker 1>he's a He's not going in on roller skates now,

0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:26.000
<v Speaker 1>so potential Hall of Famer is a better way to

0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:29.600
<v Speaker 1>refer to him. I know it's a it's a one

0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:33.240
<v Speaker 1>year deal for him, so this might be his swan

0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:35.639
<v Speaker 1>song this season. It does help, though, when you have

0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:38.119
<v Speaker 1>a running attack like the Colts had. We saw, of

0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:40.720
<v Speaker 1>course this first hand last year. I think it was

0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Week eleven last season when the Colts ran rough shot

0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 1>over the Jaguars. Marlon Mack had a big hand that

0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:51.800
<v Speaker 1>day for the Jags. And this is a it's a

0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:54.080
<v Speaker 1>running group, man, I mean, and this is what they

0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:57.359
<v Speaker 1>really I think you're gonna be built to do is

0:21:57.600 --> 0:21:59.639
<v Speaker 1>hand the ball off and then Philip can do his

0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:03.480
<v Speaker 1>damn je off the run. Yeah. Look, Marlon Mack is

0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 1>a really good running back. I don't think he's a

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:08.920
<v Speaker 1>very good back out of the backfield. As a receiver,

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:13.960
<v Speaker 1>I think sometimes he has the Roberto Duran syndrome hands

0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:17.399
<v Speaker 1>of stone, and that's why they have him Hines who

0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:19.679
<v Speaker 1>is more of a threat out of the backfield, and

0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:21.560
<v Speaker 1>he's gotten great speed. And then all of a sudden

0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:25.040
<v Speaker 1>they drafted Jonathan Taylor in the second round. The Colts

0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:27.680
<v Speaker 1>had quite a few second round picks, and we're able

0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:29.560
<v Speaker 1>to pick up a wide receiver and running back, and

0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:32.160
<v Speaker 1>running back is Jonathan Taylor, and he's a good one

0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:36.240
<v Speaker 1>from Wisconsin, and the expectations for him are very high.

0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:39.600
<v Speaker 1>So you have really a really strong one to punch

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:41.760
<v Speaker 1>and maybe even a three punch if you're counting to

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 1>him Hines in that category. So the Colts are definitely

0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:50.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna try to lean on what has been their bread

0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:52.960
<v Speaker 1>and butter, particularly in an opener when you're talking about

0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:56.480
<v Speaker 1>having a new quarterback. So the Jaguars better be prepared.

0:22:57.160 --> 0:22:59.639
<v Speaker 1>And watched a little bit of film this week of

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:01.720
<v Speaker 1>the match up that you were referring to, which was

0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:05.600
<v Speaker 1>in Indianapolis last year, and it wasn't very good. JP.

0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:09.320
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't very good by the Jaguars defensively at all.

0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:13.200
<v Speaker 1>They weren't getting off of blocks, they were out of position.

0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:18.440
<v Speaker 1>You didn't see a wholehearted commitment to stop in the run.

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:21.160
<v Speaker 1>When I say a whole hearted commitment, the numbers were there,

0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:24.840
<v Speaker 1>in other words, the defensive calls, you fortified the front

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:27.679
<v Speaker 1>to stop the run. But you just didn't see the

0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:31.959
<v Speaker 1>emphasis in the sense of urgency by the players in

0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:34.480
<v Speaker 1>that game. And it turned out to be a game

0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:37.640
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't pretty. And the Jaguars, obviously, the next time

0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:40.200
<v Speaker 1>around in Jacksonville last year, had a whole lot better

0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:43.840
<v Speaker 1>performance than they did at Indianapolis and were able to

0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:46.919
<v Speaker 1>hold the Indianapolis Colts running game in check. If the

0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars don't hold the Colts running game in check, they

0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:56.800
<v Speaker 1>have no chance of beating the Colts at home this Sunday.

0:23:57.440 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 1>It's been an emphasis all off season, but we really

0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:02.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know until you go out and play what the

0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:05.320
<v Speaker 1>defense is really going to look like against the ruck.

0:24:05.400 --> 0:24:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Can they you know, they they've done all they can.

0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:10.480
<v Speaker 1>They've added the middle linebacker and free agency, they added

0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:13.160
<v Speaker 1>a couple of other free agents who have opted out

0:24:13.160 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 1>are retired for different reasons, and now it's the guys

0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:18.919
<v Speaker 1>that are here are gonna have to step up and

0:24:18.960 --> 0:24:20.720
<v Speaker 1>do it. And they added Journey in at the in

0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:23.159
<v Speaker 1>the middle of training camp as well, but that that

0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:26.080
<v Speaker 1>middle of that defensive line and the middle linebacker spout

0:24:26.119 --> 0:24:29.440
<v Speaker 1>with Miles Jack on the outside roaming around to make

0:24:29.480 --> 0:24:31.919
<v Speaker 1>some plays. That's where it's got to start guys in

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:34.040
<v Speaker 1>the right spot and then you have to have the

0:24:34.119 --> 0:24:36.040
<v Speaker 1>want to after that. But a lot of these guys

0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:38.400
<v Speaker 1>are new here. They didn't see that game last year

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:42.680
<v Speaker 1>in Week eleven. No, And I don't know how much

0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:45.720
<v Speaker 1>motivation that you get out of what happened last year.

0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:48.800
<v Speaker 1>But but I'm sure a guy like Avery Jones or

0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Miles Jack, and we're talking about defensive captains that that

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:55.680
<v Speaker 1>this is in the back of their mind because they

0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:58.840
<v Speaker 1>went through that and they know how important it is

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 1>to stop the run at against the Colts. But knowing

0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 1>that it's important and then having the ability to stop

0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:08.800
<v Speaker 1>it are two totally different things. It's a it's a

0:25:08.840 --> 0:25:13.159
<v Speaker 1>tremendous challenge for any football team to stop the running

0:25:13.200 --> 0:25:15.800
<v Speaker 1>game of the Indianapolis Colt and I think it's a

0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:19.919
<v Speaker 1>it's a huge challenge for a Jaguars football team that

0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 1>has a lot of components that are gone and then

0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:26.919
<v Speaker 1>a lot of components that were brought in to fortify

0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:30.439
<v Speaker 1>areas that were maybe a week spot last year. Some

0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:32.680
<v Speaker 1>of those guys are gone to now, you know, so

0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:37.400
<v Speaker 1>can they do it? And I think that's a big question.

0:25:37.480 --> 0:25:41.400
<v Speaker 1>And obviously there's a lot of skepticism that is out

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:45.320
<v Speaker 1>there about the Jaguars ability to improve on defense with

0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 1>some of the lack of additions that they had and

0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:50.960
<v Speaker 1>the subtractions that they had from last year. I mean,

0:25:50.960 --> 0:25:54.120
<v Speaker 1>because and I understand it. I mean, if you look

0:25:54.119 --> 0:25:57.200
<v Speaker 1>at it from a name standpoint, JP, the list is

0:25:57.240 --> 0:26:03.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty long. You're talking about Klais Campbell, Marcel Darius uh A,

0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:06.600
<v Speaker 1>J Boy, Jalen Ramsey, and I know that those guys

0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:10.880
<v Speaker 1>aren't necessarily run stoppers. And then Ronnie Harrison. I mean,

0:26:10.920 --> 0:26:13.960
<v Speaker 1>so there's a lot of new faces with this defense

0:26:14.400 --> 0:26:17.480
<v Speaker 1>and some of the same faces, and can they do it?

0:26:18.320 --> 0:26:22.600
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna find out on Sunday. Two new faces on

0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:27.160
<v Speaker 1>defense first making now their debut in the National Football League,

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:29.840
<v Speaker 1>the two first round picks c J. Henderson and Cal

0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:32.159
<v Speaker 1>and chaseign A lot of folks I know are excited

0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:35.679
<v Speaker 1>about what they could offer on defense this year. What

0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:38.000
<v Speaker 1>have you seen in camp from the two first rounders?

0:26:38.240 --> 0:26:40.679
<v Speaker 1>What do you expect on Sunday? I know there are

0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 1>two different type of roles. That feels like I think

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Calevan Chase On is ready to be uh When I

0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:52.720
<v Speaker 1>say an impact player in that it won't appear that

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:56.400
<v Speaker 1>he's a rookie. I think he's gonna have successful pass rush.

0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I think he's gonna be able to put pressure on

0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:01.560
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback from week one. And he's got a real

0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:05.440
<v Speaker 1>nice quickness to him. He's got some power to him,

0:27:05.600 --> 0:27:08.399
<v Speaker 1>he's got some advanced hands to where he is I

0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:10.800
<v Speaker 1>think a step ahead of where Josh Allen was last

0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:13.800
<v Speaker 1>year as far as knowing how to have moves as

0:27:13.840 --> 0:27:16.679
<v Speaker 1>a pass rusher, Whereas Josh Allen last year was just

0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:19.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of think more more being an athlete than anything else.

0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:23.560
<v Speaker 1>So I think there's a real there's a good role

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:25.600
<v Speaker 1>that Caleb and Chaz is gonna be able to fill.

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:28.199
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna back up Josh on regular personnel when they

0:27:28.200 --> 0:27:31.159
<v Speaker 1>get the sub which is Nickel or their dime packages,

0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:33.040
<v Speaker 1>They're both gonna be on the field and both gonna

0:27:33.040 --> 0:27:36.880
<v Speaker 1>be the edge rushers. Uh. C j Henderson, I think

0:27:37.160 --> 0:27:39.280
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna have He's gonna get tested, and I think

0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:42.600
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be very interesting to see what light that

0:27:42.760 --> 0:27:46.680
<v Speaker 1>they view him in will he follow a t Y Hilton?

0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:49.679
<v Speaker 1>Will he match up with other number one wide receivers?

0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:52.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you draft a guy number one overall

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 1>and then in the top ten at that corner position,

0:27:55.840 --> 0:27:59.840
<v Speaker 1>I think most people would expect that that eventually maybe

0:27:59.840 --> 0:28:02.800
<v Speaker 1>an right away, but at some point you've got to

0:28:02.840 --> 0:28:05.160
<v Speaker 1>take him and put him on somebody else's best guy.

0:28:05.640 --> 0:28:08.479
<v Speaker 1>And if you look at the Jaguars roster and that

0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:12.320
<v Speaker 1>corner position, that's not gonna be Trey Herndon. That that's

0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:14.680
<v Speaker 1>just that's just not him. I think he's a good

0:28:14.720 --> 0:28:17.200
<v Speaker 1>football player, but to be able to match up with

0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the true number one, that's a that's a totally different

0:28:19.600 --> 0:28:23.320
<v Speaker 1>level of of of ability. And I think CJ's got

0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:26.520
<v Speaker 1>that ability. But is he ready for it? You know, Look,

0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:28.920
<v Speaker 1>that's why you dropped him in the first round. Time

0:28:28.960 --> 0:28:31.439
<v Speaker 1>to put him on a t Y Hilton then find out.

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:35.080
<v Speaker 1>But I'm excited about him, watch him because he's got

0:28:35.240 --> 0:28:37.600
<v Speaker 1>he's got the tool box. I don't think there's any

0:28:37.600 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 1>debate whether he has the tool box. The question mark

0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:43.720
<v Speaker 1>is I think with a lot of young players, especially

0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:47.120
<v Speaker 1>on that on that position that's on an island, do

0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:50.480
<v Speaker 1>they have the mental makeup to be able to have success,

0:28:50.520 --> 0:28:52.880
<v Speaker 1>because at some point things are gonna go bad. And

0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:55.240
<v Speaker 1>if things go bad and you give up a big

0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:58.160
<v Speaker 1>play or you have a bad play, what's your next

0:28:58.160 --> 0:29:00.760
<v Speaker 1>play gonna be? Like? What's your next game gonna be? Like?

0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:02.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, can you work your way through? And I

0:29:02.720 --> 0:29:05.280
<v Speaker 1>think that's a question that you don't know until you

0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:09.840
<v Speaker 1>actually get there. Well, we're gonna get there Sunday at

0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 1>otherwise you're in the wrong business. You know, we're very

0:33:08.040 --> 0:33:09.800
<v Speaker 1>optimistic going to the season. We know we have a

0:33:09.840 --> 0:33:12.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of challenges. We had some youth plan but really

0:33:12.720 --> 0:33:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I think the biggest uh reason for belief that I

0:33:16.680 --> 0:33:18.960
<v Speaker 1>have is the offensive line. I think the offensive line

0:33:19.480 --> 0:33:21.840
<v Speaker 1>uh is very solid right now with tackles that we have,

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:24.880
<v Speaker 1>the interior players and obviously the center I feel good about.

0:33:24.920 --> 0:33:27.320
<v Speaker 1>So for the offensive line, it gives you the ability

0:33:27.320 --> 0:33:28.760
<v Speaker 1>to do a lot of different things, I think, and

0:33:29.040 --> 0:33:30.840
<v Speaker 1>hopefully we'll give us a chance to get our skilled

0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:33.560
<v Speaker 1>players the ball in space and between the tackles and

0:33:33.680 --> 0:33:38.920
<v Speaker 1>do some good things. Jay Gruden, offensive coordinator from the

0:33:38.960 --> 0:33:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville Jaguars earlier this week and welcome back to Jaguars

0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Happy Hour and this Thursday of Colts Week. The kickoff

0:33:45.920 --> 0:33:48.560
<v Speaker 1>weekend game coming up Sunday at t I A. Bank Field,

0:33:48.640 --> 0:33:54.280
<v Speaker 1>JP Shadrick, Jeff Lockerman, and Tony Vasselli joins us. Now, Tony,

0:33:54.320 --> 0:34:00.080
<v Speaker 1>good afternoon. What's happening. What's up guys? You know, just

0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:02.719
<v Speaker 1>getting ready for the opener? That's really about it. We've

0:34:02.760 --> 0:34:05.160
<v Speaker 1>got a lot going on. It's uh, it's right around

0:34:05.200 --> 0:34:07.000
<v Speaker 1>the corner. I can't believe it's here tonight is the

0:34:07.000 --> 0:34:09.799
<v Speaker 1>first game? Is it just new or does it not

0:34:10.000 --> 0:34:14.920
<v Speaker 1>feel like kick off Weekend? I mean, it's just I

0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:17.960
<v Speaker 1>think it's because like historically, we've all been a part

0:34:18.000 --> 0:34:20.120
<v Speaker 1>of this where you're like getting ready for the regular season,

0:34:20.160 --> 0:34:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Like you have the preseason games and you like get

0:34:22.520 --> 0:34:24.560
<v Speaker 1>tired of pre Like you're so excited for the first

0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:26.759
<v Speaker 1>preseason games like hey, we're gonna play someone else's in

0:34:26.800 --> 0:34:30.200
<v Speaker 1>the stadium, YadA, YadA, YadA, and then by like the

0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:33.040
<v Speaker 1>third preseason game, like I cannot wait for the regular season,

0:34:33.080 --> 0:34:35.400
<v Speaker 1>We're so tired of this. And then you're all amped

0:34:35.480 --> 0:34:38.120
<v Speaker 1>up for Opening Day. Well we've cut out, that's a

0:34:38.120 --> 0:34:40.400
<v Speaker 1>big portion of it, and we haven't been able to

0:34:40.400 --> 0:34:42.759
<v Speaker 1>be around the team, Jeff, like we usually are like

0:34:42.840 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 1>talking to people, hanging out, like getting really amped up.

0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:48.279
<v Speaker 1>And then I was like thinking about today. I'm like,

0:34:48.480 --> 0:34:51.239
<v Speaker 1>we play a game on Sunday, Like I'm looking looking

0:34:51.280 --> 0:34:53.799
<v Speaker 1>through the game release and and then I'm thinking, Okay,

0:34:53.840 --> 0:34:55.360
<v Speaker 1>what tape am I gonna go watch? Well, there's no

0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:57.680
<v Speaker 1>tape to watch outside of last year's game, I guess.

0:34:57.680 --> 0:35:00.160
<v Speaker 1>And they got a whole new offense because I up

0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:04.200
<v Speaker 1>rivers and everything else, and it's, uh, it's it's it's wacky.

0:35:04.280 --> 0:35:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I think once we get into the regular season, um,

0:35:07.360 --> 0:35:09.720
<v Speaker 1>then we'll it'll feel a bit a little bit more normal.

0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, if if we're ever even gonna feel

0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:17.920
<v Speaker 1>even close to normal this year. I mean you like

0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:20.640
<v Speaker 1>you're saying you typically have a build up, and I

0:35:20.680 --> 0:35:23.640
<v Speaker 1>think what may even be stranger is that, you know,

0:35:23.680 --> 0:35:26.720
<v Speaker 1>we go to the stadium on game day this Sunday

0:35:26.880 --> 0:35:31.840
<v Speaker 1>and you're talking about maybe fifteen thousand people, and uh

0:35:32.120 --> 0:35:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean talk about different. I mean fifteen thousand people

0:35:35.280 --> 0:35:38.200
<v Speaker 1>that that's something that you would get maybe for a

0:35:38.280 --> 0:35:44.120
<v Speaker 1>scrimmage in preseason, and uh so it's gonna be vastly different.

0:35:44.840 --> 0:35:49.680
<v Speaker 1>And you wonder as a player. You know, look, coaches

0:35:49.719 --> 0:35:53.799
<v Speaker 1>can say all they want, Tony that, Okay, you gotta

0:35:53.840 --> 0:35:56.359
<v Speaker 1>have guys that are pros and they're paid to play

0:35:56.400 --> 0:35:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the game and they got to prepare and they gotta

0:35:58.239 --> 0:36:00.600
<v Speaker 1>come ready to play. But to re it is Look

0:36:01.680 --> 0:36:04.520
<v Speaker 1>when I played at Virginia to use an example here,

0:36:04.680 --> 0:36:09.040
<v Speaker 1>and we will go down to play Clemson. It was incredible.

0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:12.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean a great atmosphere, you know, the team coming

0:36:12.520 --> 0:36:14.680
<v Speaker 1>down the hill, touching the rock and getting ready to

0:36:14.680 --> 0:36:16.799
<v Speaker 1>play football game. And they hammered us all the time

0:36:16.840 --> 0:36:21.040
<v Speaker 1>pretty much, and we got beat up, but it was fun.

0:36:21.560 --> 0:36:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was eighty thousand strong in Death Valley

0:36:26.320 --> 0:36:31.520
<v Speaker 1>and then we travel maybe the Duke and there'd be

0:36:31.920 --> 0:36:34.880
<v Speaker 1>a couple of people over in this section, a couple

0:36:34.920 --> 0:36:39.680
<v Speaker 1>of people over in that section and uh maybe twelve

0:36:39.800 --> 0:36:42.279
<v Speaker 1>fifteen thousand people looking. I know you didn't have that

0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:44.640
<v Speaker 1>in the in the in the pack twelve or ten

0:36:44.719 --> 0:36:47.080
<v Speaker 1>or whatever it is, Tony, But I mean it's got

0:36:47.080 --> 0:36:49.040
<v Speaker 1>to be like playing at Duke back in the day.

0:36:49.719 --> 0:36:53.520
<v Speaker 1>And and yeah, I mean, yeah, you're a pro, but man,

0:36:53.600 --> 0:36:57.680
<v Speaker 1>having sixty thousand plus strong cheering and get you fired

0:36:57.760 --> 0:37:01.000
<v Speaker 1>up that I mean to not have that, that's that's

0:37:01.040 --> 0:37:05.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna be different. Yeah, I think it would be really different.

0:37:05.400 --> 0:37:07.160
<v Speaker 1>And as a player, Jeff, I think once you get

0:37:07.160 --> 0:37:09.640
<v Speaker 1>on the field and the game's going, it's competitive. I

0:37:09.680 --> 0:37:13.000
<v Speaker 1>don't think like the level of play will be uh

0:37:13.200 --> 0:37:15.600
<v Speaker 1>noticeably different. I mean, I can't remember remember the last

0:37:15.600 --> 0:37:19.239
<v Speaker 1>game we played in uh Basterdom in nineties six and

0:37:19.280 --> 0:37:21.600
<v Speaker 1>there was one about seven thousand people in that place.

0:37:21.640 --> 0:37:24.239
<v Speaker 1>We played the Oilers and you can literally hear each

0:37:24.239 --> 0:37:29.080
<v Speaker 1>other coming off the sideline. You could hear, but once

0:37:29.120 --> 0:37:30.680
<v Speaker 1>you got in the game, it felt like a real game. Now,

0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:32.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe it was because we were playing for the playoffs

0:37:32.480 --> 0:37:34.279
<v Speaker 1>and we were like getting better at the end of

0:37:34.280 --> 0:37:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the season and we're really trying to shoot for something.

0:37:36.320 --> 0:37:39.400
<v Speaker 1>But I don't remember thinking, um, I wasn't playing hard.

0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:42.960
<v Speaker 1>But what I think backup is the motion that was

0:37:43.000 --> 0:37:45.520
<v Speaker 1>surrounding the game wasn't the same that gave you that

0:37:45.680 --> 0:37:48.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to say gave me individually extra juice, but

0:37:48.440 --> 0:37:51.759
<v Speaker 1>to your point, made it a more fun environment, Like

0:37:51.800 --> 0:37:54.240
<v Speaker 1>it was just exciting because you like you could sense

0:37:54.320 --> 0:37:57.480
<v Speaker 1>the you know, the feelings of the fans and everything else.

0:37:57.520 --> 0:37:59.360
<v Speaker 1>So I think that will be missing. I can't you

0:37:59.400 --> 0:38:02.400
<v Speaker 1>can't replace the Remember earlier this week or maybe it

0:38:02.440 --> 0:38:07.040
<v Speaker 1>was over the weekend, I was watching UM football college football.

0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:10.520
<v Speaker 1>It was b y U maybe and I'm sitting there

0:38:10.640 --> 0:38:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and there's no one in the stands, and I felt

0:38:13.200 --> 0:38:14.840
<v Speaker 1>like I was watching the scrimmage because you could hear

0:38:14.880 --> 0:38:17.360
<v Speaker 1>the whistles, you could hear players, you could hear every

0:38:17.440 --> 0:38:19.759
<v Speaker 1>aspect of going back and forth, Like I felt like

0:38:19.760 --> 0:38:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I could hear the coaches screaming, and it was missing

0:38:23.000 --> 0:38:25.120
<v Speaker 1>something not I watched it. It was great. It was

0:38:25.120 --> 0:38:27.719
<v Speaker 1>fun to watch football UM. But I think it will

0:38:27.760 --> 0:38:30.560
<v Speaker 1>be different. And then I look at it for Jeff,

0:38:30.600 --> 0:38:33.640
<v Speaker 1>you and I in our experience on game day Uh, like,

0:38:34.040 --> 0:38:36.520
<v Speaker 1>we won't even see JP, probably because we're not gonna

0:38:36.520 --> 0:38:38.080
<v Speaker 1>go down the studio. We're gonna spend the whole time

0:38:38.160 --> 0:38:39.880
<v Speaker 1>up in the booth. We're not gonna go down on

0:38:39.920 --> 0:38:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the field and talk to the coaches and get those

0:38:42.120 --> 0:38:44.600
<v Speaker 1>nuggets that you kind of feel. You get a sense

0:38:44.640 --> 0:38:47.520
<v Speaker 1>of like how everyone's feeling about the game, and you

0:38:47.520 --> 0:38:50.400
<v Speaker 1>know who's up, who's down. You know what happened at

0:38:50.400 --> 0:38:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the end of the practice, the end of the week

0:38:52.160 --> 0:38:55.560
<v Speaker 1>and practice. You know all those things we're missing. And

0:38:55.640 --> 0:38:57.919
<v Speaker 1>for me, like I sow it forward to the game,

0:38:57.960 --> 0:39:00.480
<v Speaker 1>It'll be fun to call the game, Um, but I'll

0:39:00.520 --> 0:39:04.160
<v Speaker 1>miss that. It won't be as fun because of those experiences.

0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:07.440
<v Speaker 1>So it's gonna be a whole different deal. Um. But

0:39:07.719 --> 0:39:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I still think you have millions and millions of people

0:39:11.360 --> 0:39:13.320
<v Speaker 1>watching it, and I think the nation cannot wait to

0:39:13.360 --> 0:39:16.360
<v Speaker 1>see UH football start tonight kick it off with the

0:39:16.400 --> 0:39:21.239
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs in the Texas. Hey, JP, just thought here, JP,

0:39:21.400 --> 0:39:25.520
<v Speaker 1>real quick, the with this game coming up, and obviously

0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:29.279
<v Speaker 1>it's the Colts Jaguars. Philip Rivers has been training for

0:39:29.320 --> 0:39:31.439
<v Speaker 1>a game like this for the last couple of years

0:39:31.520 --> 0:39:33.759
<v Speaker 1>or the last year in l A Right, I mean,

0:39:34.320 --> 0:39:37.840
<v Speaker 1>how many fans that they have in l A that

0:39:37.920 --> 0:39:42.480
<v Speaker 1>were that were Chargers fans, so advantaged Philip Rivers in

0:39:42.520 --> 0:39:49.520
<v Speaker 1>this instance. Interesting thought there for sure. Let's go back

0:39:49.560 --> 0:39:52.320
<v Speaker 1>to Jake Gruden at the top of the segment here,

0:39:52.360 --> 0:39:56.280
<v Speaker 1>you know he was he was talking about the offensive line.

0:39:56.320 --> 0:40:00.520
<v Speaker 1>And obviously we've known all offseason, Tony, that they've they've

0:40:00.600 --> 0:40:02.759
<v Speaker 1>put a lot of eggs in this basket. This year.

0:40:02.800 --> 0:40:06.200
<v Speaker 1>They brought everybody back. Um, the entire starting line is

0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:09.360
<v Speaker 1>back from the end of last season. And you can

0:40:09.600 --> 0:40:12.600
<v Speaker 1>argue this obviously for most offenses anybody, but this for

0:40:12.640 --> 0:40:16.239
<v Speaker 1>the Jaguars offense is where this season will be made

0:40:16.320 --> 0:40:18.919
<v Speaker 1>or broken. If if they play well, then Gardner has

0:40:19.000 --> 0:40:21.319
<v Speaker 1>time to deal it out to all the playmakers. If

0:40:21.360 --> 0:40:24.280
<v Speaker 1>they don't, they can't run the ball for some reason,

0:40:24.680 --> 0:40:26.520
<v Speaker 1>then Gardner is gonna have to run around like a

0:40:26.600 --> 0:40:28.799
<v Speaker 1>Chase Chicken like he was a lot last year. So

0:40:29.160 --> 0:40:33.000
<v Speaker 1>it starts up front, Tony. And where is your belief

0:40:33.000 --> 0:40:36.839
<v Speaker 1>in this offensive line a few days out? Well, I'll say,

0:40:36.960 --> 0:40:40.400
<v Speaker 1>you know after after Gardner minshore the offensive line is

0:40:40.400 --> 0:40:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the most important position group on this entire team, without

0:40:44.120 --> 0:40:47.760
<v Speaker 1>hands down. Um, I found it interesting listening to Jay Gruden,

0:40:48.200 --> 0:40:51.240
<v Speaker 1>he sounded like me, I've been like the one proponent

0:40:51.320 --> 0:40:54.040
<v Speaker 1>of this offensive line and especially last year, and I

0:40:54.120 --> 0:40:57.799
<v Speaker 1>got just skewered for it because they didn't perform. And

0:40:57.840 --> 0:41:00.600
<v Speaker 1>that was actually um and that she said, and I

0:41:00.600 --> 0:41:03.000
<v Speaker 1>said it a little thing I wrote up today. Brochure

0:41:03.160 --> 0:41:06.600
<v Speaker 1>is like, like, individually, I love these guys, Like individually,

0:41:06.840 --> 0:41:09.440
<v Speaker 1>they're good players, and I think they would start on

0:41:09.480 --> 0:41:13.000
<v Speaker 1>other teams. But for whatever reason, as a group, they've

0:41:13.000 --> 0:41:16.000
<v Speaker 1>been wildly and consistent and that has to change this year.

0:41:16.520 --> 0:41:19.400
<v Speaker 1>They really knew have to be the strength and Um

0:41:19.560 --> 0:41:22.000
<v Speaker 1>and Jagrun's right. If you have confidence in your offensive

0:41:22.000 --> 0:41:24.799
<v Speaker 1>line and then they perform up to their expectations that

0:41:24.840 --> 0:41:27.719
<v Speaker 1>everyone has, it makes the entire team better because it

0:41:27.760 --> 0:41:31.759
<v Speaker 1>makes everything easier. It makes plain quarterback easier because you

0:41:31.800 --> 0:41:33.799
<v Speaker 1>can run the ball and you have time back there.

0:41:33.840 --> 0:41:37.320
<v Speaker 1>If it makes it easier to get open outside because

0:41:37.360 --> 0:41:39.279
<v Speaker 1>they're worried about the run, it makes it easier to

0:41:39.360 --> 0:41:42.279
<v Speaker 1>run the ball. If you're young back and Robinson is

0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:44.320
<v Speaker 1>a rookie, I'm just gonna get a lot of carries.

0:41:44.360 --> 0:41:47.799
<v Speaker 1>So UM, I agree with them. Um, I'm a little

0:41:47.800 --> 0:41:49.640
<v Speaker 1>bit more pessimistic and It's hard for me to be

0:41:49.640 --> 0:41:52.000
<v Speaker 1>pessimistic about the offensive line because I do love these guys.

0:41:52.320 --> 0:41:54.279
<v Speaker 1>But after going all in on them last year and

0:41:54.440 --> 0:41:57.120
<v Speaker 1>taking a lot of heat for it, I still believe

0:41:57.160 --> 0:41:59.000
<v Speaker 1>in them. I believe them as individuals, and I think

0:41:59.000 --> 0:42:00.719
<v Speaker 1>they're well coached. I think words war Off is a

0:42:00.800 --> 0:42:02.720
<v Speaker 1>very good coach. I just got to see it happen

0:42:02.760 --> 0:42:04.440
<v Speaker 1>on the field, and they're gonna have to show that

0:42:04.440 --> 0:42:09.360
<v Speaker 1>their consistent group that can really carry this offense. JP

0:42:09.719 --> 0:42:12.719
<v Speaker 1>the to go back to your original comment about the

0:42:12.760 --> 0:42:15.440
<v Speaker 1>offensive line, and it stemmed from a question to the

0:42:15.480 --> 0:42:17.880
<v Speaker 1>offensive coordinator, Jay Gruden, and he was asked about the

0:42:17.920 --> 0:42:23.640
<v Speaker 1>offense and his entire response was essentially about the offensive line,

0:42:23.680 --> 0:42:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't hear him, and he didn't go in

0:42:26.600 --> 0:42:30.080
<v Speaker 1>any way, shape or form towards his quarterback, which I

0:42:30.160 --> 0:42:32.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of find found that interesting, And that when you're

0:42:32.920 --> 0:42:35.719
<v Speaker 1>asked a question about your offense, then your answer is

0:42:35.719 --> 0:42:38.359
<v Speaker 1>about the offensive line. I mean, it doesn't usually you're

0:42:38.520 --> 0:42:41.040
<v Speaker 1>one of somewhere in there you're gonna talk about your quarterback.

0:42:41.080 --> 0:42:44.880
<v Speaker 1>But he didn't. I think it's really intriguing how this

0:42:45.080 --> 0:42:47.920
<v Speaker 1>offense as a whole is going to perform, not just

0:42:48.040 --> 0:42:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the offensive line, but a rookie running back, a group

0:42:51.960 --> 0:42:54.839
<v Speaker 1>of wide receivers that we all kind of view as

0:42:54.880 --> 0:42:59.319
<v Speaker 1>a very talented position, a second year quarterback that we

0:43:00.000 --> 0:43:02.479
<v Speaker 1>whom is gonna take the next step, but you can't

0:43:02.480 --> 0:43:05.799
<v Speaker 1>be assured that he's gonna take the next step. So

0:43:06.440 --> 0:43:09.680
<v Speaker 1>for me, there's a lot of intrigue, you know, especially

0:43:09.719 --> 0:43:12.640
<v Speaker 1>with a new offense, a new offensive coordinator in a

0:43:12.719 --> 0:43:15.160
<v Speaker 1>year in which you've had so many things that were

0:43:15.200 --> 0:43:18.239
<v Speaker 1>different and restricted in the off season, and so you

0:43:18.280 --> 0:43:22.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't and we're able to rep this new offense and

0:43:22.080 --> 0:43:25.080
<v Speaker 1>O t A s and mini camps or anything else.

0:43:25.160 --> 0:43:29.000
<v Speaker 1>So it to me it's gonna be very interesting to

0:43:29.080 --> 0:43:35.160
<v Speaker 1>see where they are at. Yeah, quite a matchup early

0:43:35.400 --> 0:43:39.440
<v Speaker 1>this year too. And you know Tony today, another change

0:43:39.440 --> 0:43:42.800
<v Speaker 1>in the running back room. Zigbo's gone on i R.

0:43:42.920 --> 0:43:45.560
<v Speaker 1>They bring another guy in off the street last second.

0:43:45.719 --> 0:43:49.440
<v Speaker 1>So that position group has been a revolving door the

0:43:49.520 --> 0:43:53.200
<v Speaker 1>last week or so. Especially. That's not ideal. No, we

0:43:53.280 --> 0:43:55.760
<v Speaker 1>got Rock Armstead on the COVID list and it sounds

0:43:55.760 --> 0:43:59.160
<v Speaker 1>like he's not gonna be back for a while. Um JP,

0:43:59.239 --> 0:44:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I like you this, say who the new running back

0:44:01.680 --> 0:44:03.480
<v Speaker 1>is they signed? Did you give us his name please.

0:44:03.680 --> 0:44:13.239
<v Speaker 1>I'd like uh played this game earlier, Dara ogun you

0:44:14.120 --> 0:44:20.480
<v Speaker 1>but you didn't quite get it. Tony your turn ole

0:44:21.680 --> 0:44:26.839
<v Speaker 1>um he uh listen like, I hope Robinson is good,

0:44:27.000 --> 0:44:29.879
<v Speaker 1>and I hope Chris Thompson, you know, is the scap

0:44:29.960 --> 0:44:32.239
<v Speaker 1>back that they want him to be, because they put

0:44:32.360 --> 0:44:34.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of eggs in those baskets, in that basket.

0:44:34.360 --> 0:44:37.520
<v Speaker 1>And I go back to I'm of the belief they

0:44:37.640 --> 0:44:39.520
<v Speaker 1>knew from January that they were going to find a

0:44:39.560 --> 0:44:42.200
<v Speaker 1>way to get you know, try to trade Leonard Fournette.

0:44:42.239 --> 0:44:45.760
<v Speaker 1>He was not in their plans moving forward. And because

0:44:45.760 --> 0:44:47.600
<v Speaker 1>of that, I'm shocked that they did not do more

0:44:47.640 --> 0:44:50.640
<v Speaker 1>to address the running back room. And I think now

0:44:50.680 --> 0:44:53.800
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing, you know, this is a thing group, and

0:44:53.880 --> 0:44:57.000
<v Speaker 1>you're counting on an undrafted rookie free agent to be

0:44:57.160 --> 0:45:00.680
<v Speaker 1>your bell cow um more than you know, really and

0:45:00.760 --> 0:45:02.759
<v Speaker 1>Chris Thompson, who's the third down scap back, who has

0:45:02.760 --> 0:45:05.759
<v Speaker 1>more receiving yards and resting yards in his career, is

0:45:05.800 --> 0:45:08.480
<v Speaker 1>going to be, you know, your third down back. Not

0:45:08.600 --> 0:45:11.239
<v Speaker 1>a lot of debt um, not a lot of room

0:45:11.280 --> 0:45:14.400
<v Speaker 1>for air. And I hope Dave and dougle right um

0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:16.440
<v Speaker 1>as they kind of put this this room together. I

0:45:16.480 --> 0:45:18.200
<v Speaker 1>know they liked the room. I like that. I know

0:45:18.239 --> 0:45:21.319
<v Speaker 1>they like the attitude in the room. But Jeff, I'm

0:45:21.360 --> 0:45:24.520
<v Speaker 1>still shocked knowing how I feel, at least how I

0:45:24.520 --> 0:45:26.560
<v Speaker 1>think they felt about Letter for Net for a long time,

0:45:26.920 --> 0:45:31.919
<v Speaker 1>that they didn't do more to put some bodies in there. Yeah,

0:45:31.960 --> 0:45:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I think a little bit of the unexpected happened with

0:45:34.880 --> 0:45:37.960
<v Speaker 1>with rock Armstead and then a zig bow with the hamstring.

0:45:38.040 --> 0:45:39.600
<v Speaker 1>But the good thing is is that I think both

0:45:39.680 --> 0:45:42.080
<v Speaker 1>of those guys are gonna be able to return at

0:45:42.120 --> 0:45:46.360
<v Speaker 1>some point. And then with the rule changes, you also

0:45:46.480 --> 0:45:50.680
<v Speaker 1>have Cotrell who was an undrafted running back Nathan Contrell

0:45:51.320 --> 0:45:53.720
<v Speaker 1>on the practice squad, and so I think you're gonna

0:45:53.719 --> 0:45:56.319
<v Speaker 1>have the ability to maybe elevate him up this week

0:45:56.360 --> 0:46:00.839
<v Speaker 1>because o'gon bally is gonna be so fresh and raw

0:46:01.000 --> 0:46:04.160
<v Speaker 1>to the system, how much can he actually understand and

0:46:04.239 --> 0:46:07.680
<v Speaker 1>no to contribute to a game plan? So uh, kind

0:46:07.719 --> 0:46:10.239
<v Speaker 1>of this is gonna be an interesting year. And I

0:46:10.280 --> 0:46:11.800
<v Speaker 1>mentioned earlier Tony, I don't know if you happen to

0:46:11.840 --> 0:46:14.520
<v Speaker 1>hear it about the rules are different for the practice

0:46:14.520 --> 0:46:19.640
<v Speaker 1>squad and how will that relate to to an issue

0:46:19.680 --> 0:46:21.759
<v Speaker 1>like you have now running back to where Okay, you

0:46:21.800 --> 0:46:24.560
<v Speaker 1>need some somebody, you know, So could Cantrell come up

0:46:25.080 --> 0:46:29.120
<v Speaker 1>without having to subtract somebody from the fifty three man roster.

0:46:29.600 --> 0:46:31.839
<v Speaker 1>The rules are different for that this year, and if

0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:35.640
<v Speaker 1>teams now have greater flexibility, so I would expect that

0:46:35.640 --> 0:46:39.399
<v Speaker 1>that could be a possibility. Uh. But then again, maybe

0:46:39.440 --> 0:46:43.200
<v Speaker 1>o goobally has some familiarity with Jay Gruden system from

0:46:43.280 --> 0:46:45.480
<v Speaker 1>somewhere somehow, and he can hit the ground and run

0:46:45.520 --> 0:46:49.440
<v Speaker 1>and be running. It's gonna be interesting, it's gonna be

0:46:49.560 --> 0:46:53.280
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be a group that I think, um, outside

0:46:53.280 --> 0:46:55.719
<v Speaker 1>of Robinson really just being a study and maybe it's

0:46:56.160 --> 0:46:58.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, maybe he's you know, it's happened before in

0:46:58.280 --> 0:47:00.879
<v Speaker 1>this league where a seventh rounder or undreut to guy

0:47:01.280 --> 0:47:03.040
<v Speaker 1>comes out of nowhere. I mean, just two years ago,

0:47:03.080 --> 0:47:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Philip Lindsay undrafted guy from Colorado State or next to

0:47:07.440 --> 0:47:10.480
<v Speaker 1>the University of Colorado for the Broncos had a thousand

0:47:10.520 --> 0:47:13.160
<v Speaker 1>plus yard rookie year. It was just dynamic and great.

0:47:13.280 --> 0:47:16.400
<v Speaker 1>And maybe Robinson is that guy, let's hope. So, but

0:47:16.440 --> 0:47:18.120
<v Speaker 1>outside of that, I think you're gonna see a bunch

0:47:18.120 --> 0:47:20.239
<v Speaker 1>of bodies back there, and I agree with Jeff. You

0:47:20.280 --> 0:47:21.960
<v Speaker 1>can see guys coming up and down from the practice

0:47:21.960 --> 0:47:24.759
<v Speaker 1>squad until they really figure out, um, what they're gonna do,

0:47:24.880 --> 0:47:27.000
<v Speaker 1>what they're gonna do with that position, or how they're

0:47:27.000 --> 0:47:29.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna handle that. And it's such a far cry from

0:47:29.480 --> 0:47:31.839
<v Speaker 1>where they were the last two years. I mean, think

0:47:31.840 --> 0:47:34.560
<v Speaker 1>about this offense was designed to be built around letter

0:47:34.680 --> 0:47:37.240
<v Speaker 1>for net. Um, you're gonna be a run first, pound

0:47:37.239 --> 0:47:40.719
<v Speaker 1>the ball, physical team, um uh. And that's how you

0:47:40.760 --> 0:47:43.680
<v Speaker 1>wanted to play. And now they've traded, we're actually cut

0:47:43.800 --> 0:47:46.279
<v Speaker 1>Leonard Fournette. They're going with the young quarterback and they

0:47:46.360 --> 0:47:49.120
<v Speaker 1>really i mean running backs at fit the style that

0:47:49.160 --> 0:47:50.680
<v Speaker 1>he wants to play in and that's out of the

0:47:50.680 --> 0:47:54.400
<v Speaker 1>show and a lot of inside outside zone and you know,

0:47:54.480 --> 0:47:57.680
<v Speaker 1>quick throws, quick passing game and everything else. So um,

0:47:57.719 --> 0:48:00.359
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a hundred eighty degree turn for where

0:48:00.360 --> 0:48:03.040
<v Speaker 1>they were even last year, especially two years ago when

0:48:03.080 --> 0:48:06.839
<v Speaker 1>Blake was the quarterback. Um. And it's very obvious with

0:48:06.840 --> 0:48:13.160
<v Speaker 1>how they're handling the person personnel in that running back room.

0:48:13.360 --> 0:48:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Something to watch between now on game day, see what

0:48:16.080 --> 0:48:18.920
<v Speaker 1>happens for the Jags on Sunday at running back position.

0:48:19.000 --> 0:48:21.960

0:52:21.920 --> 0:52:25.319
<v Speaker 1>and to be their captain. It's something, um, you know,

0:52:25.400 --> 0:52:28.560
<v Speaker 1>of all the you know awards you can win, that's

0:52:28.600 --> 0:52:31.759
<v Speaker 1>one that really, um to me means means a lot,

0:52:31.840 --> 0:52:34.880
<v Speaker 1>means the most because that's really you know, how you

0:52:34.920 --> 0:52:37.320
<v Speaker 1>are with the guys around you and uh, their opinion

0:52:37.440 --> 0:52:39.880
<v Speaker 1>of you. And I think that's the best judge of somebody.

0:52:41.960 --> 0:52:46.120

0:53:33.640 --> 0:53:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Alan Miles, Jack Abery Jones, Jared Wilson, and on special

0:53:37.920 --> 0:53:42.480
<v Speaker 1>teams the kicker Josh Lambeau. Um is that me? Or

0:53:42.520 --> 0:53:45.319
<v Speaker 1>is that a lot of captains, Tony? That's a lot

0:53:45.360 --> 0:53:52.080
<v Speaker 1>of captain of your cent of your roster at the captain, Um,

0:53:52.120 --> 0:53:54.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean not that what you know. I looked at

0:53:54.400 --> 0:53:56.560
<v Speaker 1>other teams, like I've seen most of them. I have

0:53:56.640 --> 0:53:59.600
<v Speaker 1>four captains. I remember Jeff when we played I think

0:53:59.600 --> 0:54:02.879
<v Speaker 1>it was three captains. Um. That was different. Tom named

0:54:02.880 --> 0:54:07.080
<v Speaker 1>the captains each game. Um, but eight, I was like, Wow,

0:54:07.640 --> 0:54:11.480
<v Speaker 1>that's a lot. Um. So whatever the reasoning is, I

0:54:11.480 --> 0:54:14.239
<v Speaker 1>don't know what it is. Uh. And the role of

0:54:14.239 --> 0:54:16.680
<v Speaker 1>a captain is different and you know, depending on the

0:54:16.680 --> 0:54:19.800
<v Speaker 1>team and the culture in the locker room. UM. For instance,

0:54:19.880 --> 0:54:24.480
<v Speaker 1>like we never voted for captains. When Jeff and I played,

0:54:24.520 --> 0:54:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Tom named him each game, and like, but you know

0:54:27.040 --> 0:54:29.680
<v Speaker 1>who the leaders were. It was very obviously who the

0:54:29.760 --> 0:54:32.000
<v Speaker 1>leaders in the locker room were, UM, and then the

0:54:32.080 --> 0:54:34.719
<v Speaker 1>other teams. Nowadays they vote for captains, which I think

0:54:34.800 --> 0:54:36.880
<v Speaker 1>is great, by the way, and I get I agree

0:54:36.880 --> 0:54:38.920
<v Speaker 1>with Gardner what he said. It's quite an honor. I

0:54:38.920 --> 0:54:40.520
<v Speaker 1>guess I was just a little bit surprised that we

0:54:40.560 --> 0:54:46.279
<v Speaker 1>have so many, but more the merrier, I mean, with

0:54:46.400 --> 0:54:48.319
<v Speaker 1>the distancing, they might not all be able to go

0:54:48.400 --> 0:54:56.080
<v Speaker 1>to the coin toss anyway, right Yellow to be very crowded. Well,

0:54:55.760 --> 0:54:58.799
<v Speaker 1>it will make for an interesting coin toss. I can

0:54:58.840 --> 0:55:02.799
<v Speaker 1>tell you that you got that right before we go

0:55:02.880 --> 0:55:05.400
<v Speaker 1>on to a Thursday night thinking the game tonight. We

0:55:05.400 --> 0:55:07.759
<v Speaker 1>we earlier before you jumped on here, Tony. We're talking

0:55:07.800 --> 0:55:12.000
<v Speaker 1>about the Colts offensive line, and they played every game

0:55:12.280 --> 0:55:16.400
<v Speaker 1>last year, all five physicians, super consistent. They were a

0:55:16.440 --> 0:55:19.759
<v Speaker 1>top ten rushing attack last year. They are most of

0:55:19.800 --> 0:55:22.360
<v Speaker 1>them have big contracts, by the way, now they just

0:55:22.400 --> 0:55:25.520
<v Speaker 1>paid the center recently. How good is this group compared

0:55:25.560 --> 0:55:28.200
<v Speaker 1>to others in the league. Oh, I'll just go by

0:55:28.200 --> 0:55:29.759
<v Speaker 1>what we saw last year. Obviously, I haven't seen what

0:55:29.800 --> 0:55:31.960
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna do this year. But they're very good. UM

0:55:32.000 --> 0:55:35.120
<v Speaker 1>top ten rushing attack top ten and sacks allowed. UM.

0:55:35.120 --> 0:55:36.960
<v Speaker 1>They were the strength of the offensive line. And I

0:55:37.000 --> 0:55:39.600
<v Speaker 1>think they're a very dangerous team because that they can protect.

0:55:40.040 --> 0:55:41.799
<v Speaker 1>And if you give Philip Rivers a bunch of time,

0:55:41.840 --> 0:55:44.640
<v Speaker 1>which he hasn't experienced in a long time because behind

0:55:44.719 --> 0:55:47.560
<v Speaker 1>that sieb of an offensive line and uh in Los

0:55:47.640 --> 0:55:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Angeles said he had to play behind um, he's fighting

0:55:50.040 --> 0:55:52.960
<v Speaker 1>for his life. Uh, He's gonna be dangerous because he's

0:55:52.960 --> 0:55:55.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna get them in the right play, in the right situation,

0:55:55.920 --> 0:55:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and if he has time, he's gonna find the open receiver.

0:55:58.160 --> 0:56:00.480
<v Speaker 1>So I think the culture very good, and I think

0:56:00.480 --> 0:56:02.560
<v Speaker 1>it does start up front with their offensive line. And

0:56:02.600 --> 0:56:04.839
<v Speaker 1>they got Marlon back back there, who's an effective back

0:56:04.920 --> 0:56:07.480
<v Speaker 1>as well. And they got Taylor, the rookiet of Wisconsin,

0:56:07.520 --> 0:56:11.040
<v Speaker 1>who you know, rushed for like six million trillion yards

0:56:11.080 --> 0:56:19.000
<v Speaker 1>in college and awards at a campus. He's pretty good. Yeah, yeah,

0:56:19.080 --> 0:56:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, holy cow, he's a great he's a great back.

0:56:21.200 --> 0:56:24.239
<v Speaker 1>You know, we haven't even talked much about the additions

0:56:24.360 --> 0:56:27.640
<v Speaker 1>that the Colts have to their defense. They gave up

0:56:27.640 --> 0:56:30.760
<v Speaker 1>a first round picked to acquired the Force Buckner, who

0:56:31.440 --> 0:56:34.960
<v Speaker 1>is essentially like a Kliss Campbell that can play and

0:56:35.280 --> 0:56:38.319
<v Speaker 1>he can play a free technique. He can he can

0:56:38.360 --> 0:56:40.480
<v Speaker 1>pass rush, and he can stop the run. He's a

0:56:40.480 --> 0:56:43.680
<v Speaker 1>great football player. And then Nix Xavier Rhodes at the

0:56:43.680 --> 0:56:47.440
<v Speaker 1>corner spot, who's a big, physical corner. It was a

0:56:47.560 --> 0:56:50.439
<v Speaker 1>very good last come back and even more healthy. Yeah,

0:56:50.520 --> 0:56:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know, but he's in his past. He's

0:56:53.239 --> 0:56:55.440
<v Speaker 1>been been pretty good in his past. So I think

0:56:55.440 --> 0:56:59.200
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be, you know, a better Colts defense and

0:56:59.480 --> 0:57:03.880
<v Speaker 1>uh certain league with another year under their belt for

0:57:03.920 --> 0:57:05.800
<v Speaker 1>some of those young players that they've had, because you know,

0:57:05.840 --> 0:57:08.120
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years ago they committed the youth and

0:57:08.160 --> 0:57:10.040
<v Speaker 1>so some of those guys you know, and and one

0:57:10.080 --> 0:57:12.400
<v Speaker 1>of them that's obviously is the best of Darius Leonard.

0:57:12.400 --> 0:57:14.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he we don't even have to talk about

0:57:14.320 --> 0:57:16.400
<v Speaker 1>him coming into his own The day he stepped foot

0:57:16.880 --> 0:57:19.720
<v Speaker 1>on an NFL field, he was an impactful player and

0:57:19.720 --> 0:57:22.920
<v Speaker 1>he's only going to get better, no doubt about that.

0:57:23.000 --> 0:57:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Now time to pick Thursday Night Football. It's the season

0:57:26.280 --> 0:57:29.800
<v Speaker 1>opener in the National Football League. It's a battle of

0:57:29.800 --> 0:57:33.160
<v Speaker 1>the two highest paid quarterbacks in league history. Patrick Mahomes

0:57:33.240 --> 0:57:37.360
<v Speaker 1>and the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs entertained

0:57:37.360 --> 0:57:40.200
<v Speaker 1>to Shawn Watson and the Houston Texans. Kickoff time at

0:57:40.200 --> 0:57:44.520
<v Speaker 1>eight twenty and Arrowhead. Seventeen thousand expected in attendance. Oh,

0:57:44.600 --> 0:57:47.880
<v Speaker 1>you got tonight in the season opener on kickoff weekend, Tony.

0:57:49.680 --> 0:57:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I got the team all the way. They got the

0:57:51.520 --> 0:57:53.480
<v Speaker 1>best quarterback in the league I can do. Probably one

0:57:53.480 --> 0:57:56.439
<v Speaker 1>of the best coach teams in NFL. UM. They're good

0:57:56.440 --> 0:57:59.920
<v Speaker 1>at every position group on the offensive side of the

0:58:00.000 --> 0:58:02.840
<v Speaker 1>all they got Chris Jones back is the defensive lineman

0:58:02.920 --> 0:58:05.320
<v Speaker 1>who's very disruptive. I they're really good, and I have

0:58:05.520 --> 0:58:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I think I think the Texans are a question mark.

0:58:08.000 --> 0:58:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I actually have them as the third best team in

0:58:09.400 --> 0:58:13.080
<v Speaker 1>the NFC South. UM. I don't think they're great on defense. UM,

0:58:13.200 --> 0:58:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and offensively, you know was now DeAndre Hopkins. I'm interested

0:58:17.320 --> 0:58:20.280
<v Speaker 1>how they run that offense because he was a safety outlet.

0:58:20.320 --> 0:58:22.560
<v Speaker 1>He was a safety blanket to pacifier whatever you wanna

0:58:22.560 --> 0:58:25.440
<v Speaker 1>call whatever. Deshaun Watson was in trouble, he'd find me

0:58:25.520 --> 0:58:28.200
<v Speaker 1>DeAndre Hopkins. So I think Deshaun Watson is an outstanding

0:58:28.240 --> 0:58:30.360
<v Speaker 1>player and because of that, the Texans got a chance.

0:58:30.360 --> 0:58:35.360
<v Speaker 1>But I think I had the Chiefs win by ten points. Interesting.

0:58:35.880 --> 0:58:39.080
<v Speaker 1>It will be very interesting to see how Deshaun Watson takes,

0:58:39.520 --> 0:58:42.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, where his game goes without DeAndre Hopkins. A

0:58:42.840 --> 0:58:45.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of times quarterbacks get better without the guy that

0:58:45.760 --> 0:58:47.600
<v Speaker 1>they feel like that they have to throw it to

0:58:47.720 --> 0:58:50.280
<v Speaker 1>and then they just allow the offense to dictate where

0:58:50.320 --> 0:58:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the ball goes. So could that be the case with

0:58:52.800 --> 0:58:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Deshaun Watson. I don't know, but I mean, for me,

0:58:56.040 --> 0:58:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Mahomes is such a marvelous player. They've got so

0:58:58.720 --> 0:59:02.000
<v Speaker 1>much speed with at Kansas City offense. They've got a

0:59:02.160 --> 0:59:04.800
<v Speaker 1>very good offensive line, one of the better offensive lines

0:59:04.840 --> 0:59:07.200
<v Speaker 1>in the league, and they're at home. I don't see

0:59:07.240 --> 0:59:13.280
<v Speaker 1>them losing. Tonight should be a good one. The Texans

0:59:13.280 --> 0:59:15.960
<v Speaker 1>and the Chiefs kick off the season coming up tonight, Tony.

0:59:16.000 --> 0:59:19.120
