Speaker 1: Welcome into Jags Am. We're on location today. We love
Speaker 1: a field trip. I'm kind Nannie Stephens, Brian Sexton, John Oh's.
Speaker 2: You're with me.
Speaker 1: We're now in Park, Michigan for joint practice with the Lions.
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of Lyne's practice.
Speaker 2: I feel like you always can get a little something
Speaker 2: out of not going up against your own teams.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 4: And as as Brian, you know, it's nice to wake
Speaker 4: up and not feel like you're already sweating. The sweats
Speaker 4: starting to come in because it is getting warmer. A
Speaker 4: lot of good matchups talk about today, and.
Speaker 5: We had an opportunity to visit with Mark Brunell, who
Speaker 5: everyone who's watching knows who's up here as the quarterbacks
Speaker 5: coach and gets an insight and they're excited.
Speaker 3: We're excited. You know, two.
Speaker 5: Teams that led the league in terms of year over
Speaker 5: year wins. Both the Jaguars and Lions won six more
Speaker 5: games in twenty twenty two than they did in twenty
Speaker 5: twenty one, so both teams are being looked at as
Speaker 5: up and comers, which makes it a fun day.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, let's get into our big things.
Speaker 1: We're going to start off with one verse one because
Speaker 1: the ones are going against the ones, and for ones,
Speaker 1: it's not against their own team.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: The Lions and the.
Speaker 1: Jaguars are going to do some joint practices they just started,
Speaker 1: so they're going to do some of these team drills
Speaker 1: against each other, and it's nice to see exactly how
Speaker 1: your team is going to stack up. John, can you
Speaker 1: just kind of explain how it's a little bit different
Speaker 1: than what we see on the day to day.
Speaker 4: Well, it's because you're not only getting ones versus ones,
Speaker 4: meaning they get the opportunity. There's very little work for
Speaker 4: the backups, and you're getting more extended time for the
Speaker 4: ones versus the ones because there's just more time to
Speaker 4: do it. That was a very great explanation, but I
Speaker 4: think somewhere in there as an explanation. Also, it's different
Speaker 4: from the preseason game because the coaches can say, hey,
Speaker 4: we want to get X number of red zone, X
Speaker 4: number of short yardage. They can control the environment and
Speaker 4: control what they get a chance to work on.
Speaker 5: Doug Peterson told us in our preseason television production meeting
Speaker 5: last Friday in Fort Worth that these reps are more
Speaker 5: valuable than the reps that he could get them in
Speaker 5: a preseason game because they stacked them. Let me give
Speaker 5: you one that I'm looking for, and it's not necessarily
Speaker 5: a one though. I think anybody who's watched Antonio Johnson
Speaker 5: this year realize he's coming hard and fast. I mean,
Speaker 5: this is a very talented young safety.
Speaker 3: Why he was available in the fifth round from just
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 5: But look, there's two guys he's going to get a
Speaker 5: match up against, Shamir Gibbs, who Mark Burnell was telling
Speaker 5: us is amazing in space, right, and the tight end
Speaker 5: Sam Laporta, who is a shifty, very difficult to cover
Speaker 5: tight end. Well, those are two positions that over the
Speaker 5: course of the year he's going to have to be
Speaker 5: able to account for great right, all three rookies, Let's
Speaker 5: see how he handles two guys who are very highly
Speaker 5: thought of by the Lions and by the way, by
Speaker 5: the Jaguars staff.
Speaker 1: John any specific matchups you're looking at, are you just
Speaker 1: excited to kind of see how the Jags matchup in general?
Speaker 4: Well, then you have to watch Aiden Hutchinson versus anton Harrison, Walker,
Speaker 4: little whoever he matches up against.
Speaker 3: He's a natural pass rusher.
Speaker 4: Who can do it and It's always good for somebody
Speaker 4: like Anton Harrison, who hasn't had very many NFL live reps,
Speaker 4: to get them against somebody hasn't seen it. It's the
Speaker 4: more you have seen going in a vague season, the
Speaker 4: better for Anton Harrison.
Speaker 2: And another high pick as well, and Aiden Hutchinson.
Speaker 1: As we know, and I think also we didn't mention,
Speaker 1: but some of the wide receivers going up against our
Speaker 1: dvs are going to be interesting. Marvin Jones junior that
Speaker 1: we're familiar with, and of course I'm onnose Brown who
Speaker 1: has that boom or bust ability, so you have to
Speaker 1: imagine for Tyson Campbell that'll be a good match up.
Speaker 5: And Jamison Williams, who again Brunelle was saying, is as
Speaker 5: fast as he has seen. I mean, the guy can
Speaker 5: just flat out run. So a lot of these younger
Speaker 5: defensive backs are going to have their hands full keeping
Speaker 5: up with that speed today.
Speaker 3: It'll be really good reps for them, and.
Speaker 4: I guess my guess is you will see them try
Speaker 4: to get some of the younger guys in during those
Speaker 4: one versus ones times. They're not really ones, but I
Speaker 4: think the coaching staff once to see some of this
Speaker 4: third fourth, fifth corner against really good players, so you
Speaker 4: might see Tyson and Darius Williams come out a little
Speaker 4: bit whereas some of the other normal starters may not.
Speaker 2: Big thing number two is going to be feeling the heat.
Speaker 1: Now, you can take that two ways, because they're not
Speaker 1: feeling the heat because we're not in Jacksonville right now,
Speaker 1: which is a little bit of a nice break. I
Speaker 1: would assume Doug Peterson talk to a little bit about
Speaker 1: just kind of getting the team some chill time away
Speaker 1: where you know, we're not in the beating sun in
Speaker 1: the middle of the day in Florida. And then also
Speaker 1: feeling the heat because you know some of these bubble
Speaker 1: guys or maybe they didn't show out in that first
Speaker 1: game the way they wanted to. The pressure's on a
Speaker 1: little bit because we're getting into that section where you
Speaker 1: need to really show what you have if you want.
Speaker 2: To make this team.
Speaker 1: If you're on the edge, Brian, what do you look
Speaker 1: for in terms of just whether it's in a game
Speaker 1: or not, what you need to see?
Speaker 5: Well, cut down days two weeks from today, right so
Speaker 5: you can count the number of practices, the number of games,
Speaker 5: and then these guys who are sitting at the bottom
Speaker 5: of the roster, kui are looking at the number of
Speaker 5: reps they're going to get. I mean you can count them, right,
Speaker 5: these guys, No, I only have twenty seven or thirty
Speaker 5: five more opportunities, and they better be good to overcome
Speaker 5: any that I made mistake WHI in the game against
Speaker 5: the Cowboys. So yeah, the heats on. These guys know
Speaker 5: that every rep counts, because let's be honest, John, from
Speaker 5: one to fifty three, you can probably put forty seven
Speaker 5: spots in place and know the roster there's only a
Speaker 5: handful of jobs. And these guys are going back to
Speaker 5: their hotel rooms tonight and calling home and saying I
Speaker 5: did great today, I feel good, or pray for me.
Speaker 3: I didn't have a good day. I need to have
Speaker 3: a good day tomorrow.
Speaker 4: And that could become even more important Saturday, because I
Speaker 4: think first team guys are gonna get most of the reps,
Speaker 4: so the second and third team guys, it feels like
Speaker 4: Saturday is gonna be a big opportunity for them.
Speaker 1: All right, And our third big thing is would you
Speaker 1: rather There's an article in the Athletic actually right now
Speaker 1: that would you rather comparison piece of the Lions and
Speaker 1: the Jaguars we mentioned there were in similar situations right
Speaker 1: picking the top of the drafts two years ago, having
Speaker 1: a comeback, maybe better season than most people expected, and
Speaker 1: then now there's high expectations. Both they're you know, expected,
Speaker 1: if not favored, to win their divisions. But which would
Speaker 1: you rather be? I think I know which side you
Speaker 1: guys are gonna air on. But there is an argument
Speaker 1: I assumed to be made for the Lions as well.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence, Yes, that's the trump card.
Speaker 1: I'm aware. It's just I think it's situational, right because
Speaker 1: you look at the division maybe, I mean, the NFC
Speaker 1: North is kind of whatever Minnesota's going to be, but
Speaker 1: the other two are kind of out of it at
Speaker 1: this point.
Speaker 2: So maybe that.
Speaker 5: Well, again, the conversation that we had with Brunel this morning,
Speaker 5: he likes Dan Campbell, thinks they've got a good staff,
Speaker 5: likes the ownership. The situation here with a revived team
Speaker 5: and the facilities they have. Their salary cap is healthy.
Speaker 5: They've got a talented squad, but they don't necessarily have
Speaker 5: their guy at quarterback, and in Jacksonville, all of those
Speaker 5: things are in place. Plus Trevor Lawrence. I read the
Speaker 5: article two and I got to the end and I'm like, man,
Speaker 5: so like twenty thousand words and the guy didn't even
Speaker 5: tell me what he thought. I thought, I think Jaguars
Speaker 5: are better set up because of Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 3: Is Trevor not practicing it?
Speaker 2: I mean, I think we all know what was I
Speaker 2: just thought it was interesting. I think we all know
Speaker 2: we know what the answer is. All right, Staatewa, that's
Speaker 2: coming up. We're going to talk about the fifty three.
Speaker 1: Some people we have our eyes on that they're gonna
Speaker 1: get on this final fifty three man roster. But until then,
Speaker 1: we're live from Joint Practice training camp in Allen Park, Michigan.

Speaker 1: Welcome back to jags Am presented by Jet Home Loans.
Speaker 1: We are on location. We're on a field trip, whatever
Speaker 1: you want to call it. We're in Allen Park, Michigan,
Speaker 1: joint practice with the Lions.
Speaker 2: We're going to talk over the fifty three.
Speaker 1: This is the segment we do where we talk about
Speaker 1: either people on the bubble of the roster, people that
Speaker 1: need to do really well in camp if they want
Speaker 1: to have a successful you know, showing So who's someone
Speaker 1: that you guys are looking at that's kind of on
Speaker 1: the edge right now?
Speaker 3: Seth Williams.
Speaker 5: I'm going with Seth uh six ' two, two hundred
Speaker 5: and ten pounds, talented wide receiver who made two big
Speaker 5: third down catches last week in Dallas. You know, we're
Speaker 5: talking about that sixth receiving spot, and he's the guy
Speaker 5: who separated himself. I know Harris and Cooks and Jarray
Speaker 5: Jenkins all made players as well.
Speaker 3: But Williams is the guy who can contribute on special teams.
Speaker 5: And if you're gonna be that sixth guy and you're
Speaker 5: going to be active on game day, you've got to
Speaker 5: contribute on teams. And from my understanding, he's ahead in
Speaker 5: that category. Seth Williams has been really impressive.
Speaker 4: While I went with Jacob Harris for much the same reason.
Speaker 4: They don't really have a throw it up and go
Speaker 4: get it guy on this receiving corps right now. Jacob
Speaker 4: Harris sixty five, I think he's two to ten big guy,
Speaker 4: so to me, I don't think he'll make the team
Speaker 4: because I think the numbers will work against him. I
Speaker 4: do wonder if at some point during the regular season
Speaker 4: they wish they had a guy like him. I also
Speaker 4: think he'll definitely be in the NFL somewhere. He was
Speaker 4: a third round pick by the Rams. He can play,
Speaker 4: had a really bad injury when he was a rookie.
Speaker 4: He's gonna catch on somewhere. And he's a guy to me,
Speaker 4: when they're talking about guys that they're gonna be tough
Speaker 4: decisions and if they know they're gonna cut good players,
Speaker 4: he may be top of the list.
Speaker 5: And both of these guys that we've talked about and
Speaker 5: the guy that you're gonna talk about have all made
Speaker 5: place consistently on the practice field every day. It's not
Speaker 5: like they were just flashes. These are guys they're going
Speaker 5: to try to get through to the practice squad, or
Speaker 5: if they don't think they can, maybe they can flip
Speaker 5: them to a team that's receiver needy for a late
Speaker 5: round pick.
Speaker 1: They're so loaded at the wide receiver position. That's why
Speaker 1: we're keeping this all wide receiver position. We feel like
Speaker 1: those first five spots are locked up. I think We've
Speaker 1: moved Parker Washington into that five spot at least on
Speaker 1: my list. So the sixth spot is what we're looking at.
Speaker 1: And as you mentioned, special team is gonna be huge.
Speaker 1: That's why I picked Tim Jones for mine, just because
Speaker 1: I feel like he's been here, he's contributed on special
Speaker 1: teams before, and they know what he's capable of doing,
Speaker 1: and he saw him doing that in the first preseason
Speaker 1: game against Dallas, and I think, unfortunately, that's what's gonna
Speaker 1: come down to.
Speaker 2: If you had an extra spot, maybe you get one.
Speaker 1: Of the taller wide receivers and still that role that
Speaker 1: you don't have, but I don't know if they have
Speaker 1: space for it right now. You might try and sneak
Speaker 1: somebody onto the practice squad, but as we mentioned, it's
Speaker 1: a very deep position group, so a lot of these
Speaker 1: people are gonna get picked up by somebody else.
Speaker 5: And you know, John, it's not every year that they
Speaker 5: keep four tight ends, but when you may that room,
Speaker 5: they're going to keep all four of those guys. So
Speaker 5: it's not like you could even have a seventh receiver,
Speaker 5: any tight ends, or you know, three running backs.
Speaker 3: The numbers just don't work for it. Based on the
Speaker 3: other position groups.
Speaker 4: Now, I think Tim Jones makes the team, and I
Speaker 4: think he's gonna be. If he doesn't, he might be
Speaker 4: their toughest cut because they love him.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, all right, stay with us, guys. We're gonna come
Speaker 1: back get some ozone mail bag questions with the wives,
Speaker 1: John Oser, and then we'll get you some more details
Speaker 1: about joint practice.
Speaker 2: Field's Auto Group Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Step up to Luxury Fields Auto dot Com.
Speaker 2: We are live in Alan Park, Michigan for Jags am
Speaker 2: on this Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Things are heating up a little, but it's still nowhere
Speaker 1: near Jacksonville, so it's still a little bit comfy.
Speaker 2: John.
Speaker 1: I know you enjoy this environment, and of course we
Speaker 1: want your wisdom as we've got a couple of ozone
Speaker 1: mail bag questions.
Speaker 2: As the viewers always have wisdom you receive.
Speaker 3: Why are you kissing up to him?
Speaker 1: We're gonna start off with zingis from Duval Great love this.
Speaker 1: It seems to have been a while since a Jaguars
Speaker 1: defender outplayed his contract or draft position. Do you have
Speaker 1: any candidates for this year to break out? I'm hoping
Speaker 1: for Cisco.
Speaker 3: Sorry.
Speaker 4: Yeah, as this reader noted, we cut the question down
Speaker 4: for space Devon Hamilton started to do that. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: first of all, Roll Roberts and Harrison maybe a little bit.
Speaker 4: He got a new deal this year, yeah, and out
Speaker 4: played the one that he originally signed. Cisco's a good
Speaker 4: choice for this. But since the reader mentioned this, I'll
Speaker 4: go ahead and say, maybe maybe you Seer Abdula, who
Speaker 4: I mean kind of on this week. I don't know
Speaker 4: if he was asking about rookies per se, but you
Speaker 4: see it seems like a guy that can get you
Speaker 4: four or five sacks, that can get you impact. Cisco's
Speaker 4: the best choice because as a third round pick, you
Speaker 4: feel like he's got a chance to be a real
Speaker 4: breakout guy.
Speaker 3: B Ryan, so I'd go with either of those two.
Speaker 3: You probably somebody out, No.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think you're absolutely right on Cisco because
Speaker 5: I think from that Kansas City game in the regular
Speaker 5: season on he was a real force and offenses had
Speaker 5: to know where number five was.
Speaker 3: So I think he's the perfect choice.
Speaker 5: And Abdula, you could say so far just Antonio Johnson, Right, sure,
Speaker 5: two guys just like, what were they doing available so late?
Speaker 5: Because clearly their playmaxers, Well, they're there that late? Because
Speaker 5: Scout said Abdullah's too short. I don't know what the
Speaker 5: story is with Johnson. He has freakish physical abilities, and
Speaker 5: when you watch that kid, you're like, they can't They're
Speaker 5: gonna have to find a way to get him on
Speaker 5: the field.
Speaker 3: He's too good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wonder, how is the only reason I didn't
Speaker 4: choose him? You wonder where they can find a role
Speaker 4: for him? You know where they're gonna find a rule
Speaker 4: for Abdullah, a role for aub dulan third down guy.
Speaker 1: Lots of young options hasn't been talking about, especially showing
Speaker 1: out in those preseason games. And then our other final
Speaker 1: question for you from Ozone today is from Michael from
Speaker 1: Orange Park, Florida. He says, what makes you so sure
Speaker 1: that the Jaguars will be good this year? Well?
Speaker 4: I chose this question because after a preseason game, everybody,
Speaker 4: you know kind of nitpicks and oh they didn't do this,
Speaker 4: they didn't do this, Trevor had an interception, or I
Speaker 4: didn't like this from the defense.
Speaker 3: I think it's.
Speaker 4: Important rite out right now to remember the big picture,
Speaker 4: and that's the you know they're gonna be better? Or
Speaker 4: because you have any any thought that the offense isn't
Speaker 4: gonna be good. Ryan, No, So no, the defense, I
Speaker 4: don't think men, they're gonna be as good as last
Speaker 4: year to me, because they bring everybody back.
Speaker 3: Carl was gonna be better.
Speaker 4: So I think rather than focus on every little thing
Speaker 4: that worries you, remember Trevor's doing this, the offense, you
Speaker 4: continue to do this. I don't know what their record
Speaker 4: will be after five games, but they feel to me
Speaker 4: like a team it's going to be in ascension throughout
Speaker 4: the whole regular season, so I don't doubt they're gonna
Speaker 4: be good.
Speaker 5: Let's use this as a reminder. Preseason games are rarely
Speaker 5: game planned, right.
Speaker 3: I didn't have a game plan for that one last week.
Speaker 5: They're going in looking at players and situational matchups and
Speaker 5: how guys play next to each other in the lines.
Speaker 4: You can't be sure you get guys reps.
Speaker 3: That's so right.
Speaker 5: It has nothing to do with how they're gonna play
Speaker 5: in the regular season. In fact, it's a far cry
Speaker 5: from when they game plan and the way they're gonna
Speaker 5: play because they don't want to show anybody anything. Preseason games,
Speaker 5: ladies and gentlemen, are about evaluation, not about the big picture.
Speaker 5: So my feeling of why they're gonna be good. Number
Speaker 5: sixteen is a really big reason why. Oh and zero
Speaker 5: gives more room in the passing game, and this whole
Speaker 5: thing is about spacing for guys to make plays.
Speaker 2: They've got those guys everybody else. All right, stay with us.
Speaker 1: We'll have a preview of this joint practice today and
Speaker 1: we'll let you know what's coming up. Jags fans, if
Speaker 1: you want customized Jaguars furniture for your home, you can
Speaker 1: check out zipcar dot com zipchair dot com to browse
Speaker 1: all customizable options. Zip chair is furniture for fans. Guys.
Speaker 1: We're out here at joint practice Allen Park, Michigan. Today's
Speaker 1: probably their full pads today, so it maybe a little
Speaker 1: more physical than what we might see tomorrow. But is
Speaker 1: there any drills or anything in particular you look forward
Speaker 1: to when there's joint practice.
Speaker 4: I'm mainly a Brian eleven on eleven. You just want
Speaker 4: to see how these guys fare against each other when
Speaker 4: they're put in a position to make plays against an
Speaker 4: opponents in general.
Speaker 3: But that's what it is.
Speaker 5: You're absolutely right, and I'm gonna go more specific than that.
Speaker 5: You can't get away from the Trayvon Walker Aiden Hutchinson comparison, obviously,
Speaker 5: was one of the first questions asked to Doug in
Speaker 5: his news conference by a Detroit reporter today. Hutchinson was
Speaker 5: a proven pass rusher. He had a big season last year.
Speaker 5: We knew Traybon was gonna have to work to evolve
Speaker 5: as a pass rusher.
Speaker 3: Let's see how he does today.
Speaker 1: We'll have a ton to bring you tomorrow. Jag XAM
Speaker 1: will be live out here tomorrow again at joint practice,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna head out now and get
Speaker 2: All the details for you to share with you, so
Speaker 2: we'll see it then
