WEBVTT - Ep. 81: Some Must Sees To Look out for in Joint Practice With Buccs | Jags A.M. Podcast 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:20.520 Welcome into JAG's Am today as we get ready for 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:23.320 two days of joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:25.079 Lots of fans on hands because it's gonna be a 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:25.400 good one. 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:28.480 Finally get to see some matchups against players, not going 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:30.760 up against themselves on the same team, so that's always 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:31.360 exciting for us. 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:32.360 Let's get into our big. 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:34.440 Things right off the bat, because big thing number one 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:36.560 is joint practice. There's a lot to be gained from that. 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.159 Doug Peterson spoke earlier in the week about why he's 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:42.760 so fond of having joined practices with others with other teams. 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.280 Yeah, you're right. You get to pick the situation, the scenarios. 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:48.840 It's very controlled. 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.360 There's no live tackling or anything like that. 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.160 It's you know, but they're their physical practices. 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:56.480 But you can get you can. 0:00:56.360 --> 0:01:00.000 Get quite a bit out of them. So special guests 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.040 with me here this morning. Let's check in with Jeff Logman. 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:05.959 What does a joint practice bring to the game. Why 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:07.920 is it so special to have a joint practice with 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:08.520 another team. 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.000 It's a great question, and the biggest thing that it 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.640 brings is competition. You know, you're used to going against 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:15.640 your own players. But then all of a sudden you 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.399 add another team and then a fan base that's going 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.640 to be watching very closely. It just amps everything up, 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:23.880 and that's what you want to have as an evaluator, 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.720 like for coaches and the scouting staff, the higher the 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.280 level of competition that you can get to a game, 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:30.160 the better it's going to be. 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:31.319 JP. 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:33.200 We had the pleasure of doing this last year we 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:36.039 went to Detroit. Now we're hosting a joint practice. 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:37.319 What do you kind of get out of it? When 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:38.679 you get to watch practice. 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.800 You get to see the starters go. You might not 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.360 get to see many reps for last week. For example, 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.679 the Jaguar starters, if you will, had nine snaps in 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.680 the game. Well today they'll have what fifty or sixty Jeff, 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.720 I mean, they're going to have a lot of opportunities 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.360 out there against another team, and as Doug reference, there 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:56.720 no live tackling, so you can protect your guys for 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.840 the most part. Those are invaluable reps for the starter 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.760 and a really good piece of film to watch after 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:03.920 this next two days. 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.200 Our second big thing today is going to be matchups 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.239 to watch because, as you guys mentioned, going up against 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.280 a different team you can learn a lot and learn 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.040 about different defenses and offenses. 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:13.200 So JP, when you're looking. 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.120 At different position groups today, where are you going to 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:16.320 be honing in? 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:17.120 What are you going to be watching? 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:22.120 Okay, the Jaguars defensive backs against this great Buccaneers wide 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.359 receiver corps. Mike Evans is probably going to Canton at 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:25.880 some point. 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:28.920 How are they going to cover him in one on ones? 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.040 Tyson Campbell, Mike Evans, get your popcorn ready. 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.000 I'm excited for that. I'm also logs. 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.399 The guys in the middle are going to be fun 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.920 to watch today too, because the Bucks have some beef 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:42.120 up front. Well, and one guy in particularly that's got 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.120 a lot of beef, which is Vita Vea. I think 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.519 he goes about three hundred and sixty pounds now he's 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:48.639 tried to swim down a little bit. He's a nose 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.440 tackle for the Bucks. And the Jaguars have a new center, 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.839 Mitch Morse. So I think that's a great opportunity to evaluate. 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.880 Is when you have a joint practice, when you have 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.040 the big guys in a controlled environment. Boy, that's when 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.600 the coaching staff really gets a lot of evaluation. 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.160 At that point, our final big thing today is going 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.920 to be Armstead activated. Eric Armstead, who is signed in 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.280 the offseason, is going to be seeing his first action. 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.160 He's been out there practicing on the side, but not 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.079 with a team, Jeff, when you have a player coming back, 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.600 Doug Peterson talked about Armstead when he does come back, 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:20.960 he wanted him to be at one hundred percent. 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:22.400 You expect we'll see that today. 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.519 Well, And I think it's smart, you know. And that's 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.120 the one great thing about kind of the new age 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:28.959 of the NFL is that you can take care of 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:30.880 the players up until hey, it's time to get ready. 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.880 And Armstead's played a lot of football, so I don't 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.760 really worry about that. He's a premium athlete. And if 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.800 you happen to hear to Sean Gibson, who has recently signed, 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:42.400 when he came in, he talked glowingly about two things 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.760 that Armstead brings to the table. Number one is a 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:46.800 great performance and he's a heck of a football player. 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.800 Number two, great leadership. So I'm looking forward to him 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:51.800 getting back in the mix. I don't know how much 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.640 he's going to be doing out there today against the Bucks, 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.360 probably off to the side until he kind of gets 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.960 up to speed. You know, we've heard leadership, leadership, leader 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.560 ship around this guy. To Sean Gibson spoke yesterday and 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:04.520 it was teammates with him out in San Francisco, and 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:06.400 that's the first thing he did was went up and 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.160 gave double A a hug. That's what he said. So 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.520 he's that type of guy you want in your locker 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.920 room to kind of lead the ways. A lot of 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.280 young guys with a new defense, a lot of change 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:20.159 happening here. Somebody that can be that that compass, that 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:21.560 center for this team. 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.640 Maybe he's that guy. And obviously he's. 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.480 Hopefully still playing at a high level coming off that injury. 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.240 Let's see him work back to health. 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.440 And Doug Peterson said, guy that is probably likely next 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.640 week against Atlanta where he would get some game time. 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:36.560 All right, we'll keep an eye on that today for sure. 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.400 Stay with us here on jag zam as we look 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.240 a little bit more into joint Factice and what we're 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:57.120 gonna be looking at. Welcome back to jag Zam, brought 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.000 to you a part by Fields Auto, Jacksonville's premier lugery 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:05.680 the auto group. Go to Fields Auto dot com. This 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.520 this welcome back to so that today I have two 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:09.080 special guests. 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:10.720 It's like happy our Thursday in season. 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.360 Wow, But Doug Peterson Show's next. Now I'm kidding. It's 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.800 only on Thursdays. But it's great to be with you 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:17.320 this morning. 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:17.919 Guys. 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:19.600 We see each other every day, but it's always nice 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:20.880 to we do a little show together. 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.520 No doubt. And it's nice to be in the air 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.520 conditioning for a while before we go out into the 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:27.440 blast furness. 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.560 So absolutely, because it's going to be in the heat 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:31.480 of the day today as they take on the boxes. 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.240 I'm sure that was probably the point of having practice. 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:35.400 A little bit later in the middle of the day 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.120 and getting the most out of it in these Florida conditions. 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:39.920 But before we get out there, we're going to talk 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:41.479 a little bit about what we've seen so far this 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.000 preseason and this or that we kind of do either 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.440 or for us for this segment, and we talked a 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.680 lot about Parker Washington, that great return he had on 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.719 the first kickoff that we saw. But when it comes 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.120 to a group like that, obviously, Devin Dubernet was brought 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:56.720 in in the off season as a free agent to 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.120 do just that. Obviously, preseason we can't take a ton 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.200 out of playing time. But do we know exactly what 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:02.960 that's gonna look like? Jeff, who do you think is 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:03.719 going to be doing this? 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:05.919 It could be two players, but who are they gonna be? 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:07.560 Well, we know it's gonna be two because that's the 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.560 new kickoff pool. You have to have two guys back. 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.400 Devin Duvernet is clearly, in my opinion, gonna be one 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.560 of those guys. Now, who's gonna be the other guy? 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:16.000 I think it's gonna be a mix in the match 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.320 a little bit. Who's healthy and who's gonna be active 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.000 on game day. I think Parker Washington's a possibility. I 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.279 think Tank Digby is a possibility. And if you listen 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.680 to what Doug Peterson talked about, he talked about the 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.680 new kickoff return being very similar to a zone run. Well, 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.120 if it's similar to a zone run, then what you 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.040 want to have a zone running back right and Tank Bigsby? 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.520 So uh, I think it's I'm excited for this new 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:42.080 play though. I'm excited for the possibilities. And the league 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.159 could also tweak some of the rules as we go 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:45.800 along in this season, so we got to kind of 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.360 see what's gonna happen. Yeah, I'm with you. Jeff Duvernet 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.039 was brought here for a reason, and it wasn't to 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.120 be the fifth wide receiver, like he's here to be 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:56.839 the return guy. And that makes sense punts in and kickoffs. 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.080 And to your point, I think they could mix and 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.400 match some different ideas on the kickoff return depending on 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.000 what type of return maybe they want to execute. If 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.200 they want a running back style, okay, if they want 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.960 Parker Washington to do his thing, they can put him 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:12.920 in there. One well, the other team might just boom 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:14.160 it out of the back of the end zone. You 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.480 never know, So that could just change the whole strategy altogether. 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.440 And if they changed the rule and put a touch 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.640 back back to the thirty five, then all of a sudden, 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.000 those kickoff returns will be in play a whole lot. 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:24.680 More than you think. 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:26.280 Good point bringing up Tank Bigsby. 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:27.800 If he didn't trip himself up, you might have had 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.760 an even better return than we saw from park It's 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:30.280 a touchdown. 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:31.560 It would have been a house call. 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.000 I think he saw his eyes were getting big and 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:34.680 turned over. 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:35.560 Yeah, I got him. 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.880 I'm so excited for him though this year. I mean 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:39.960 in that role, but then also as a running back, 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.640 just because last year when you came out of camp, 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:44.880 you would ask all the different veterans on the team 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.320 who you were excited about watching for the younger guys, 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:51.200 and multiple guys kept pointing to Tank Bigsby. But then 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.280 he had, you know, the kind of the disappointing start, 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.360 and I think there was a confidence issue kind of 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.360 in two different ways, one his own and then also 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.480 the coaching staff. But I think he's a stut and 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:03.880 I think if he gets a little bit of the 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.640 ball rolling to start the season, lookout. And I know 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.080 we're talking kick returns here, but to your point about Tank, 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.560 his performance in the game the other night at running back, 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:15.840 the way he moved and was decisive and downhill, that 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:17.440 will farewell for him in the future. 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.280 We've talked a ton on our show just about those 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.040 second year guys that jump they're going to make, and 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:22.720 both of those guys in their second year, so it's 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.320 good to see, at least in the preseason. 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.040 We hope that carries over guys well. 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:27.680 Also in this or that we're kind of looking as 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.680 we get closer to that roster cut down what exactly 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:32.280 that's going to look like Jeffie, you've been a part 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.800 of the process. Of course, final roster spots. How much 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.240 of this is locked in and how much of this 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.440 is really kind of up for grabs. And if you 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.040 do have a breakout performance, is there always space for somebody? 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.960 Oh, I absolutely think that there's always room for a 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.200 breakout performance. You know, there's a number of positions that 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:52.120 are probably up for grabs. I mean, ballpark probably five, six, 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:56.800 maybe seven. I think the majority of them that we're 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.000 looking at really are on defense. I think the offense 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.640 this is pretty well set. Yeah, we've got a wide 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.120 receiver group. I think we're pretty confident who's gonna play. 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.880 Maybe the last two spots or one spot there's maybe 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.600 up for grabs. The running back room. I think there's 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:12.679 a pretty good idea of their quarterbacks. We know what's 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.400 going to go on. But defense in the back end, 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.600 on the defense, the linebacking position, and also up front. 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.120 That's the big question mark. 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:20.199 Is on the defensive side of the ball. 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.679 Yeah, and they've got a new coordinator to figure out 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.160 a new defense and some new players to go in 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:26.440 those roles, so they've. 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:27.000 Got some time to do that. 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.680 That's why this game coming up Saturday is so big 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.559 because in theory, the starters are going to get most 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.160 of the time on the practice field this week, like 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:35.440 we talked about, that. 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:36.480 Means guys that are on the. 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.080 Bubble bubble, if you will, we'll get a lot of 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.800 time in a game under the lights in live conditions. 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.720 That's huge going towards their effort to make. 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.880 This rush and to kind of expand to what JP 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.920 mentioned there about having a new defensive coordinator. You know, 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.920 all these guys that were with his football team in 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:55.400 the year's past. When you have a new coordinator, okay, 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:57.040 there's not a lot of bank left. You know. What 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.079 I mean by bank is that you're not referring back 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.160 to what I what I did before. You know, so 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.319 the new coordinator's going to say, hey, look, I want 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.040 to see what you've done for me lately and what 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.400 you're doing for me now because I wasn't here last year, 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:09.440 so it's a little different. 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.240 Jeff, have you ever seen in your experience someone that 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.440 maybe had such a crazy performance and your memory at 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:19.400 recent or not that like won themselves a roster spot almost. 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.080 I'm going to give you one that happened last year. 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.040 All right, what you got, that's Elijah Cooks. You know 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:24.720 he's got my depth chart here in front of me. 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.560 Elijah Cooks. Last year, the performance that he had in 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:33.240 the preseason was so strong that he was the highest 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:37.839 rated player in PFF's ranking system. Okay, and when you're 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.320 the highest rated player, even though it's a system that 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:44.160 most teams don't create themselves, it's something that a lot 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.839 of teams subscribe to. And his performance catching the contested 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:51.360 balls and the size of him, obviously the Jaguars felt 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.200 that they had to keep him on the active roster. 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.640 He's a perfect example of a player who who showed 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.640 in live action under the lights that hey, look I 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.440 belong and this year is he gonna make it? I 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.040 don't know. It just depends on that in game performance. 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.040 It look how so much toller he is than Parker Washington. 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:08.280 They're standing right next to each other. 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.319 Different skill set, It's right, it's a little. 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:13.199 Different style and that's a good one. I remember Jaydon Mickens. 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.120 I think he was that kind of guy too. This 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:16.679 is a few years ago. He was kind of a 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:20.280 kick returner. I think he was undrafted. Kind of thing. 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.320 Interesting story about him. He actually slept in his car 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:25.880 for a while. He was that guy. And he and 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.280 kind of interesting this with the week that you bring 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.319 this up. He also played for the Box absolutely and 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.800 and it really had some successful games and seasons down 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:36.559 there in Tampa Bay. But he's that guy that just 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.959 popped out of my head when you asked that question. Yeah, 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.320 because he slept in his car during training camp here. 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.520 That's it's pretty here. In the off season, he was 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.120 slept in his car, didn't have a place, didn't have 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:45.520 any money. 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:46.760 You think that guy wants a roster spot? 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.119 Absolutely? Yeah, who incredible. 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:49.840 I love to see that. 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:51.760 I love to see those guys that maybe are on 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:53.880 the fringe kind of earning their spot, and hopefully we'll 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:54.800 see another one or two of. 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.160 Those this season. Stay with us here on jag Zam. 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:58.920 We're going to answer some fan questions and we come 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.120 back after the break as get ready for joint practice 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:13.880 with the Buccaneers. For eleven years, Dreamfinders Homes has been 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:17.080 proud to call themselves the official homebuilder of the Jacksonville Jaguars. 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.040 Visit dreamfinders homes dot com for all of the available 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:28.920 inventory and go Jags. All right, guys, we've got an 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.040 ozone mailbag for you, but no Ozone, so we're gonna 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:33.120 have to fill in and do our best. 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.480 I have a question, why is he always frowning. 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:36.880 In the logo, you know, John Oser? 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:38.640 Yeah, I guess I can tell you this. 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.480 The logo is way better looking than John. 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.440 We have to post, we have to poke a little 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.080 bit of fun. If he's not here, he might as well. 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.920 And I heard he had card issues, like he loves 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.360 a mile and a half away, like walk it's ten. 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.320 Minutes if John doesn't come biking into practice at some 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.400 point to them to be arry. 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.760 You guys, can you guys picture John Friday in the bike? 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:00.959 No, maybe one of those little took things that they 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.880 have that all the fans used to get out of 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:04.360 the stage. 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:05.800 I'll just roll in with his. 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.280 Oh yeah, somebody's riding the bike. 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:14.439 And straw hat. Yeah they're pedaling, ye yeah right. 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:16.599 I'll never forget. And I know we're going off the 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.520 rail seat. However, John Oser stories just popped in my head. 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.960 I remember one time Josh Scobe was in traffic on 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:25.000 day Meadows and took a video of John Oser running down. 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:25.840 The sidewalk jogging. 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.360 Really, it was fantastic that's not a very athletic run. 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.280 Oh man, have you ever seen John run? I can 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.520 get John because you know, John and I go way back. 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:36.040 Sure, I love John Oser stories. 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.199 Please When I when I was a player here, John 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:40.320 was actually one of the beat riders for the Florida 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.480 Times Union alongside Pete Prisco. 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:44.040 That's quite a do I mean. 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.200 And he had a ponytail. Pony's head had a little 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:47.680 pony tail. 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:48.080 Stop it. 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.160 Oh yeah, he walked around the locker room and he'd 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:54.679 asked questions. They had a little ponytail, and you know, yeah, 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:55.720 way back. 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.240 My favorite John Oder story because obviously I'm new. When 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.040 we went to London last year, he forgot his media 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:02.920 credential on the bus. We took a bus to Wembley 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.320 Stadium and they parked us rather far away because or 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:07.040 they drop us off. 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:08.400 But then we had to walk a little. 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.640 Bit into the stadium and he didn't have it when 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:12.800 we got to the security and couldn't find his way 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.520 back to the bus and had to call several people. 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:16.679 I think an hour later. 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.680 We got him in eventually pulled some strings and whatnot. 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.760 But I can imagine did he use the line don't 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:23.240 you know who? 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.280 I am. I'm Johnny O's. 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.240 Do you read Jaguars the mail bags? 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.080 Come on, come on, all right, We're gonna do our 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.440 best Johnny O impression and try to answer some of 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:34.840 these mail bag questions that he has from the viewers 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.200 as only Johnny Oken. But we'll do what we can. 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.040 Our first question is a little bit about the quarterback room. 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.560 Dave from Jacksonville says, is this the best quarterback room 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:43.920 that the Jags have ever assembled? 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:46.880 Ken? Or will they keep all three of these guys? 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.440 Wow? I think it's the best quarterback room you think 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:53.120 you ever Yeah to tot, I mean I do. And 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.200 here's why. First of all, you've got a guy that 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.600 you're paying fifty five million dollars to, Okay and Trevor 0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:59.760 Lawrence that I ought to tell you that he's pretty good, 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.640 and I believe he's a franchise guy. Mac Jones' former 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.600 first round pick was a starter for a long period 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.840 of time with the New England Patriots, who they got 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:08.320 in trade, which was, by the way, one of the 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:11.080 best trades in Jaguars history. To acquire a player of 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.800 that caliber. On the way out, you're probably gonna get 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.760 a great contensially pick and then CJ. Bethards. You know, 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.760 so I like it because here's here's the thing, Trevor 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.800 and CJ. You can run the same system with and 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.680 my excuse me, Trevor and Mack and Mac is going 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.680 to be the backup in my opinion, and CJ. I 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.520 think there's a chance that he ends up on practice squad. 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.840 I don't think there's any doubt about that. And yeah, 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.040 you don't trade for a guy like Mac Jones for 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.520 him to not be your backup quarterback and have that opportunity. 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.800 So I think he in fact, I think he starts 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.680 this game and this is a big opportunity for him 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.680 to showcase because there may not be many opportunities in 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.040 the regular season for him to play. In terms of 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.520 the historical stuff, I'll leave that to you, but yeah, 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.120 you're right, fifty five million dollar guy, first round pick 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.280 and Mac Jones, CJ. Betherd's played a lot of football games. 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.840 This is Tony Boselli predicted this. He locked it on 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.720 Monday Night. But the Jaguars are going undefeated in the preseason. 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:11.600 I wonder where he got that because of the experience 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:13.840 at quarterback and compared to other quarterback rooms. 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:14.480 This time of year. 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.760 I mean, no offense to Nathan work, but there's no 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.120 Nathan Urkes on this team coming from the CFL. Okay, 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:20.440 and let me ask you a question, where do you 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:22.840 think the Selly got that line from? Was he talking 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.200 to you? He got it from me when I mentioned 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.400 it in our broadcast during the game. There you go, okay, 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.160 because you know, look at the reality is is that 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.480 when you're playing teams in the preseason, when you get 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.040 to their second half or into the second half, the 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:38.360
