20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: lot of debuts around here since you arrived. Yeah, there's

21
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: been a lot, but this is a big one. But

22
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: I'm excited. It is a big one. And it's here's

23
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: the thing about the preseason. We're all so eager for football,

24
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: especially this team, because it ended so suddenly in New

25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: England last year and we all want to taste it again,

26
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: and so we'll be really excited from the get go

27
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: to see it. And then midway through the first quarter

28
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, when's the regular season because they're gonna

29
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: be moving guys in and out. There's there's guys and

30
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: nothing's official, but there are guys who won't play this

31
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: evening right for both squads, And but it's that taste

32
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: of it, and we have a taste of something new tonight,

33
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: and that's the new uniforms. Um. I think I said

34
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: this the other day. When I first saw them on

35
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: paper more than a year ago, I thought, I don't

36
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: really like these. I want to see poor right. It's

37
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: the classic example of when you see something static right,

38
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: you can't tell what it is. And then they brought

39
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: them out and I held him, I went I liked

40
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: this better. Then we we debuted them and showed them

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: on mannequins. I was gonna say dummies, but that seems insensitive,

42
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: right And then and then the players wore them and

43
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: I went whoa. That's when I truly saw it and thought, wow,

44
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: this is awesome. When the players came and they were

45
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: in pads and it looked like a real life thing,

46
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: that's when they said, Wow, these look cool. So I

47
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: can't wait to see them. This evening. Jimmy Luck, the

48
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: equipment manager extraordinaire, brought them in and showed them unhappy

49
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: or do we have any video that we're gonna show that?

50
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: Did we decide not to do that? Is that it

51
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: not to do that? See this is some behind the

52
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: scenes production detail. I went to Ashland about fifteen minutes ago.

53
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: I said, Hey, what if we did this? And she said,

54
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a really good idea. Settle down, Brian,

55
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. So she's the one that has to cut

56
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: the video anyway. Yeah, right, get back in your place.

57
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: But tonight they're gonna wear teal on white, which is

58
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: the classic Jaguars look. And I just kind of went

59
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: back through and try to remember the last time they

60
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: wore that combination. Uh, it would have been in the

61
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: two thousand early in eleven, right before they went to

62
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: the black jersey on white, which they switched to midway

63
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: through two thousand and eleven or sometime late in two

64
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: thousand ten. So it's at least been twelve thirteen, fourteen, sixteen,

65
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: seventeenth gap, counting now seven years since we've seen this

66
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: teal on white. It's hanging in the whole way out here.

67
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: You see it in that Pro Bowl wall. Guys that

68
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: used to wear it, and I know it seems like

69
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: it's just teal and white. Yeah, but it's great to

70
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: see the teal on white back it is. I'm just

71
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: excited they went with Tea after talking to so many fans.

72
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: They love the teal, they love the Teal uniforms. I

73
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: know so many people are buying Teal Journey, so I'm

74
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: happy they went with some form of Teal. Said it

75
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: over and over and over. Teal is the heartbeat, It's

76
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: the personality of this team. You can have the black

77
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: look if you'd like, you can go with you all white, which,

78
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: by the way, the all white was the one I

79
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: was probably the most dubious of it. That looked too plain.

80
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: Boy does it look sharp? And I mean, they nailed

81
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: this and I can't wait for Pope folks to see

82
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: it tonight. Absolutely. Speaking of nailing it, how about big things.

83
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 1: Let's nail that, see all right? Big thing Number one?

84
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: Marone and Sean Doug in New Orleans Saints had coached

85
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: Sean pay and they have a relationship. Doug was the

86
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: offensive quartering through two thousand six through two thousand eight

87
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: with the Saints and they have a mutual respect for

88
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: each other. Doug Maroon reflects earlier this week on his

89
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: time in New Orleans. The resiliency, you know, the people,

90
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: not just in New Orleans but of that region, you know,

91
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: to come back was amazing. And I give credit to

92
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: Mickey Loomis and Coach Payton. You know, we actually went

93
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: out in the community and tried to build the community.

94
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: We so we didn't. And the thing is we didn't

95
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: go out there, take a picture with a shovel with

96
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: the team right and have the media out there and

97
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: say okay, we're done, and then get on busses and

98
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: go back or drive back. We actually went went to work.

99
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: So Doug came to New Orleans right after Hurricane Katrina.

100
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: What something to walk into like that? Not only the

101
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: town rebuilding, but the football team as well. They all

102
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: went through it and Doug had to come into that

103
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: and go with this team and go rebuild a city well,

104
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: and and he's talked about that on Drive Time before.

105
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: That thing that stands out the most as he was

106
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: going into a new situation as a football coach, right

107
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: with a team that was on the rise. So there's

108
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: a lot of energy there. And yet the opposite side

109
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: of the spectrum was there was this city that was

110
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: hurting right, that was trying to get back up on

111
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: its feet, and the Saints were an integral part of

112
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: that um And he tells a lot of stories about that,

113
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: and he talks he was in Syracuse, he was with

114
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: the Jets. He doesn't talk about his time in Syracuse,

115
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: uh or with the Jets as much as he talks

116
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: about his time with Sean Payton. And I think we

117
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: have his comment on Sean Payton, he is, well, let's

118
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: just run it and you decide for yourself. The admiration

119
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: that Doug has for Sean, very organized, very good with personnel.

120
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: But I think for me, um, Sean helped me the

121
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: most communication amongst the staff, because you know, I had

122
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: ran some of the meetings and and and he really

123
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: helped me along the way of you know, building a staff,

124
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: what he looks for in a staff, and things of

125
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: that nature. So you know, I owe a great deal

126
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: to Sean. I think the term that comes to mind

127
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: most is genuine admiration. You know, sometimes when you listen

128
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: to Doug, it seems like he's kind of monotone, right,

129
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: unless he's cracking a joke or busting on somebody, at

130
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: which point you see the smile kind of start to build,

131
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: like like a sunrise. You know, he's thinking about it. Yeah, exactly,

132
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: but but he can kind of get into his lost

133
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: in his thought. Um. But with Sean, you can just

134
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: see in his eye, and this is a coach who

135
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: he genuinely admires and respects because not because they won

136
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl together, but because of the way that

137
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: he worked, the way that he built the staff, and

138
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: the impact and the influence he had on him. Yeah.

139
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: And you know that Doug isn't an extremely outspoken person,

140
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: and he's not the most social guy, but he does

141
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: so well of diving up task and always being respectful

142
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: to his entire staff. He always gives credit where credits

143
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: to and I think that's why he respects Shawn so much. Right.

144
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: You know when people go around the national footballing and

145
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: they talk about great coaches, you know they talk about

146
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. I mean obviously what Bill has done, and

147
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: there's some other guys who gets some credit. And but

148
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: when you talk to the football coaches, right, not the media,

149
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: not the fans. When you talk to football coaches, Sean

150
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: Payton is always up there for his innovative approach on offense,

151
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: for the way that he pulled the team and helped

152
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: the team be a beacon as as Doug mentioned for

153
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: that town back when Katrina was still you know, ravaging,

154
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: I mean after the storm. Obviously, it's still an impactful. Um.

155
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm kind of excited to watch the dynamic between the

156
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: two guys, and I am I'm excited for pregame to

157
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: see if they give each other a hug, a hand chicken.

158
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm so sure it's so cool for Sean to see

159
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: Doug come so far, to see this team be so successful,

160
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: and a few years ago for Sean to have Doug

161
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: on his staff and now look across the field and

162
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: see him there, I'm sure that's a pretty cool moment.

163
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: It should be fun thing, too big thing to Louisiana legends.

164
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: For two Jaguars, New Orleans Saints are the hometown team

165
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: of course Leonard for Nett and new rookie d J. Shark.

166
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: Now we don't know Leonard for Nett, that's his hometown,

167
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: New Orleans, and he went back this summer and hosta

168
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: you football camp. Their former Jaguars running back Marie Jones

169
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: Drew caught up with Letton for Net and Leonard is

170
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: saying how excited he is for this season. I always

171
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: like to go back in these interviews and talk about

172
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: the last time I saw you, and it was in

173
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: the locker room after the ANFC Championship game. You were

174
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: visibly upset, right, and the reason was that you guys

175
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: had it right there, a chance to go to the

176
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, do all those things. It was that kind

177
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: of part of that motivating factor getting back in the

178
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: all season is getting ready to have a great camp

179
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: in a great season. Yeah, most definitely, man, I mean,

180
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: nobody's working hard to come a second. You know, uh,

181
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: you know that game is out the way now, but

182
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: you know it still leaves that number feeling and tasting

183
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: them out and this motivation for us to come back

184
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: this year and uh, winn it off. You know. I

185
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: went and read with the interest some of the stories

186
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: when he was doing his camp back there this summer,

187
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: because I'd heard that he was a legend right as

188
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: a high schooler at St. Augustine High. But it goes

189
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: back beyond that, from when he first stepped foot on

190
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: the field as a middle schooler, right in this park

191
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: where he did his camp, everyone knew he was special.

192
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: And then of course I read the stories as he

193
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: was in high school and went to l s U.

194
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: He was so highly recruited. Here's this schoolboy phenomenon who

195
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: was a man among boys, literally what had the body

196
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: of a man as a high schooler and could run.

197
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen what he can do against NFL players.

198
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that? I mean you've never played tackle football,

199
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: have you? Okay? But can you imagine getting in front

200
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: of that time? You're not ruling it out. I like

201
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: that answer. Write that down. We're gonna need to come

202
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: back to that sound boyd uh at some point this season. Um,

203
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: that's like stepping in front of a runaway train at times.

204
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: So he is a legend. He's going against the New

205
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints, his hometown team. This evening. You know, the

206
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: Saints broadcast will feature him for as long as he's

207
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: you know what's he gonna get to three carries? Maybe

208
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: played the first two series. Whatever Doug has scripted out

209
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: for the starters, what he wants to see from them. Um,

210
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: he's proud of his hometown. The whole town is immensely

211
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: proud of him as well. So the connection between the

212
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: Jaguars and the Saints with Doug and with Sean Payton

213
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: exists with Leonard and New Orleans. So the Jaguars Saints thing,

214
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised at all if you don't see

215
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 1: us next year, Uh maybe over in New Orleans to

216
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: play preseason game, right that connection and practicing for a

217
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: couple of days, kind of like we're going to Minnesota

218
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: next week, like we went to New England last year.

219
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised at all because of the connections

220
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: that we've detailed here in Big Thing. Wanted Big Thing too.

221
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: If that's not if that's not something we do are

222
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: now going back to that sound bite with Maurice Jones, Joe,

223
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting one the second place thing

224
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: I love that no one works hard enough to go

225
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: in second place. But Maurice mentioned earlier in the interview

226
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: about the sophomore slump and how Leonard he doesn't have

227
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: that coming back fifteen pounds lighter, there's no slump at all. Well,

228
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: he understands it. Look Um. We had a chance last

229
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: night to talk to Telvin Smith in preparation for the

230
00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: broadcast tonight, and the fire in his eyes, the fire

231
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: in that defensive meeting room has been driving that defense

232
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: to be the best they can possibly be, which they

233
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: know is better than last year, which which is almost

234
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: inconceivable to a lot of us. But there are certainly

235
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: ways they can be better. But that's also pushed this

236
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: entire team, guys like Leonard who's very very tight with Telvin,

237
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: and Jalen Ramsey and a j boy. They're trying to

238
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: build that on the offensive side of the ball, and

239
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: even though Blake is the quarterback, Leonard is the personality.

240
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: He's the strong personality on that side of the ball.

241
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: So he went lost the weight and his coming back

242
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: with the intensity, the desire to be his very very best.

243
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: There there was no I got this right. When Gus

244
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: Bradley was the coach here. You know, the thing that

245
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: he left me with was I got it is the

246
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: worst attitude you can have in professional football. You can

247
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: never have it. Leonard clearly doesn't think he has it,

248
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: even though he's a legend. Absolutely, And I think it's

249
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: great that Leonard is using it as an example coming

250
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: back fifteen pounds leader. He's not, you know, being arrogant

251
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: and talking and he's a came and came back fifteen

252
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: pounds lighter. Is using it as an example for the

253
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: entire offense. Hey, I'm here to work. I can't wait

254
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: to ask Fred about that tonight on the broadcast. Because

255
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: had Fred had seventeen touchdowns as a rookie, he came

256
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: in second place in Rookie of the Year balloting behind

257
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: Randy Moss, who had one of the great rookie seasons

258
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer obviously in NFL history. So he came

259
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: back the next year and he had a hamstring injury

260
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: that lingered and cost him six games. His second year

261
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: was nowhere near what he thought it was going to be.

262
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: So I'm anxious to get his perspective on Leonard for

263
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: NET tonight. Yeah, preparation wise, it seems like Leonard is

264
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: going to have maybe even a bigger year than he

265
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: did last year. If he does, I think I've been

266
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: really clear on what what's going to happen here. If

267
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: he does, this is going to be a special season. Absolutely,

268
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: even a super one, maybe even a superman. Okay, that's

269
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: a nice tease, alright, big thing three. It's different this time,

270
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: it's different this year. We look back to a year

271
00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: ago today, first preseasons, priest, I can't speak, first preseason,

272
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: and we knew that there was a huge quarterback battle.

273
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: Quarterback Blake Bortles was competing with Chad Henny right after

274
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: a practice, right through five interceptions. Now we look back

275
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: to a year ago day and we look here. Now,

276
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: this is Blake's team, without a doubt, without a doubt.

277
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: Blake feels as if And again we chatted with him

278
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: last evening in preparation for the broadcast, and you know,

279
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: it wasn't what he said. It was it was his

280
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: body language. I have a big body language. Relax. Relax absolutely.

281
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: Um wasn't offended by the question, right, which sometimes young

282
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: players are, but just rolled with it and you can

283
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: just see in his being his aura is I get it.

284
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: I know what they want from me. I think getting

285
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: the pay day that he got. Uh, absolutely, Um. There's

286
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: just so much about Blake that is good right now,

287
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: He's a father for the first time. He is uh,

288
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: financially secure right and and but more than that, because

289
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: he was financially secure before the contract. The other side

290
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: of the coin is is that he knows that this

291
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: team trusts him, counts on him. Um, and he likes

292
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: that he It was I really enjoyed the conversation with

293
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: him last I always enjoy listening to Blake. He always

294
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: comes about in a very calm, relaxed manner. Is always

295
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: very professional, which I think I respect. On NFL Network

296
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: yesterday he spoke with two analysts and talked about what

297
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: we've talked about for a really long time. Being in

298
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: a system for the second year. Yeah, it's nice to go.

299
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not going out. We weren't in O

300
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: t A is going out and all of us are

301
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: learning the playbook together and not out there trying to

302
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: figure out, you know, the routes and the adjustments and

303
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: everything together. You know, we as quarterbacks, you know, I

304
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: know it mean And Nathaniel Hacket has spent a lot

305
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: of time together and there's still obviously a lot more

306
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: to learn, but have a good grasp of it. So

307
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: it's it's more of a coaching. Guys were in the

308
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: system for a whole year last year. They understand everything,

309
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: so we can kind of take everything to the next

310
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: level and start worrying about, you know, what defenses are

311
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: doing and how we can you know, make the play

312
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: better and have better adjustments and things like that. He's

313
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: now dictating to the defense. Yes, he has reached that point. Now, Um,

314
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: one more quick thing and then we'll take a break,

315
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: and we've got lots more on the show. Um where

316
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: he's at. Right, So he had sixteen games with one

317
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, Jet Fishes first year, and then he got

318
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: twenty two games with the second offensive coordinator, Greg Olsen. Right,

319
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: it couldn't build the kind of continuity that he now

320
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: has twenty eight games and now counting counting with Nathaniel Hackett.

321
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: Those two men like each other, first of all. They

322
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: understand each other and they trust each other. That is

323
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: a formula for success. So throw out whatever preconceived notion

324
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: you have about Blake Bordles, if he didn't already erase

325
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: that last year and get excited about what he's capable of,

326
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: because he has, because he is all right, speaking of

327
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: a chance, We're gonna take this opportunity to take a

328

352
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,560

353
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: I think we talked about that desperately, but to finally

354
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: see the team on the field again, not playing each other. Okay,

355
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: So what kind of stories can we expect from you

356
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: this evening. We're going to have a look at d J. Chark.

357
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: Of course, he's had a great training camp. I'm actually

358
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: gonna get the opportunity to talk to his mom, which

359
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: I'm really excited for because that's probably going to be

360
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: a huge moment for her. Her sitting in the sands

361
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: watching her son's per cent game. I can only imagine

362
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: that she is equal parts nervous and excited. But if

363
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: she's been paying attention to what we've been talking about

364
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: here for the last couple of days. She has a

365
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: lot of reasons to be excited because he has just

366
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: gotten better every single day as we have gone through

367
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: the course of camp, and as as I have said, gosh,

368
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: anytime anyone's asked me about him. When he walked in

369
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: the door the first day he arrived here, you saw

370
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: the makings of professional receiver. He is tall, he is long,

371
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: he has big hands, He's highly competitive, he's incredibly intelligent. Uh.

372
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: He is a guy to whom this matters. He's a

373
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: lot like Leonard in his approach to the game. He

374
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: yeah played in the Southeastern Conference, obviously at l s

375
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: U and has been around high level football for a

376
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: long time. So we're excited to see that rookie. Let's

377
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: shift gears now and talk a little bit about the Saints,

378
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: and we welcome on the phone John duches here, who

379
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: is here in Jacksonville with the Saints. He's the senior

380
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: writer for Saints dot com and John, good morning are

381
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: you today? Um? Great? How you guys doing good? Thanks

382
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: so much for getting up and spending a little time

383
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: with us today. I know you guys are probably excited

384
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: to get to see the group you've watched for the

385
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: last two weeks. Um, As I look at this Saints team,

386
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: you know, a year ago, I'm not sure that I

387
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: thought Drew was approaching forty his cap number was huge,

388
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: and until those two rookies sparked everything, I'm not sure

389
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: that the expectations for the Saints were they were going

390
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: to challenge for the NFC. Now, all of a sudden,

391
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: Drewid looks like he's twenty nine again, and a big

392
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: reason is Alvin Kamara and Marshawn Lattimore. Can you give

393
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: us a sense of how things have changed in a

394
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: year from training camp seen to today. Yeah, that rookie

395
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: class last year really invigorated the entire franchise. I mean,

396
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: who knew they were going to play that way? And

397
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,719
Speaker 1: you just mentioned the two guys who won Defensive Rookie

398
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: of the Year an offensive Rookie of the Year. But

399
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: also they had Ryan ran Chick come in and play

400
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: left tackle and right. They had Marcus Williams, who had

401
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: a fantastic season at safety safe for that last play,

402
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,719
Speaker 1: and then they also got some helps at linebacker from

403
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: Alex Anzaloni and on there's a sense of line from

404
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: Trade Hendrickson really having to rookie class, and I think

405
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: it really reinfigerated everybody because the expectations were not a

406
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: team that was going to challenge for the NFC, And

407
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: yet here they are a year later. And I mean

408
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: yet those two started at Marshawn Lattimore and at the Camara,

409
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: But they really had a great rookie class and that

410
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: lifted the team a ton. I'd love to tell you

411
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: I knew this, but I don't. So do you know

412
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: have have Has one team ever had the offensive and

413
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: defensive rookies of the year on the same squad before?

414
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's the first. It is the first.

415
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I am in era. There was

416
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: a Detroit Lions team like a billion years ago, right

417
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: in the offensive rookie, the offensive rookie I think was

418
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: Mill far Senior, and I think the defensive rookie was Limbarney.

419
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: You have to check. I have to check on that,

420
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: but I remember doing the research a long time Yeah,

421
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: a long time ago. So they're the second team to

422
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: have done it. But certainly nowadays, the expectation is that

423
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: you don't you don't have that kind of rooky class.

424
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: So we know, we know the numbers, you know, fifteen

425
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: hundred plus total yards, more than ten touchdowns for Camara,

426
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: five interceptions for Lattimore. Tell us something about each guy

427
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: that they did that surprised you or that made a

428
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 1: huge difference that's gone unnoticed. Well, I don't know if

429
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: anyone knew Alvin's true athleticism and toughnice. He's a guy

430
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: who can also run between the tackles. He's tough. He

431
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: wants the extra carries that he might get this year

432
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: with with mark Ingram being suspended for the first four games.

433
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: He wants that challenge. We saw him really smooth. And

434
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: the thing about Alvin is, you know, he's a he's

435
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: really fluid and you don't realize how fast he's moving

436
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: until he goes by. People don't catch him from behind.

437
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't like he's moving fast before you know he

438
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: might hurt somebody. But he is extremely, extremely fluid and

439
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: those of you know. I think the toughness, though, was

440
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: the thing that nobody really knew about him until you

441
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: until you put him out there. And I remember running

442
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: backs coach last year said that he's a kid who'll

443
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: stick his nose in the briar patch. He doesn't mind

444
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: getting in there, and we got a chance to see

445
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: it during the games. And Marshawn, the thing with him

446
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: is he's competitive as all get out. He doesn't like

447
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: the loose. He will fight and he will scrap and

448
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: you know that that whole you know cliche defend every

449
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: blade of the grass. Marshawn takes that literally. You can

450
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: see him going at it one on one against Michael

451
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: Thomas the receiver and practice and he'll lose some and

452
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: he'll win some. But he does not can see any ground.

453
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: He does not like losing on any play and you

454
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: can see it every time he's aft there. John, we

455
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 1: know from on the Jaguar side of the ball, we're

456
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: looking to find out a few things tonight. What are

457
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: you looking for a night to figure out about your team? Well,

458
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: I mean I think mostly we're looking to see some

459
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: minus things because of the starting lineup for the same

460
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: pretty much set. But you want to see something like

461
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: you know, SAME's just trying to find a decent kick return.

462
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: They've been looking for a kick returner, probably since Barren's

463
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: rolled was traded to Philly a couple of years ago. Um,

464
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: they need to find out what they have a right

465
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: the sensive end a little bit death wise, because Alex

466
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: opel Floor is coming back from an injury and Market

467
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: Tavenport in the first round there, he's probably not gonna

468
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: play a lot he's been injured. So they got to

469
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: find out what they had behind those guys. They need

470
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: to figure out their rotation a linebacker, and they have

471
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: more talented linebackers on the team than they've had during

472
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: the Sean Payton era, but they've got to figure out

473
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: what their rotations. They're gonna be right there. They've got

474
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: to figure out something that running back because as I mentioned,

475
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: mark Ingram it's gonna be suspended the first four games.

476
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: So we know Alvin Kamare is gonna be a guy

477
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: who's gonna work in the backfield alongside Alvin Kamare and

478
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: take toose carries when Alvin's got to go to the sidelines.

479
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: And I think receiver, we know the top two receivers

480
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: that will be Michael Thomas and Kick and Junior. We

481
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: have some unknowns behind those guys. Tray Kuan Smith looks

482
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: like the truth, but until you put him out there

483
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: on the field and put him in a competitive situation

484
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Just don't know exactly what's gonna happen there.

485
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: And another minor thing is back up quarterback Tom Savage

486
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: or Tastom Hill. You know they've got to make a

487
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 1: decision there. Now. Looks if if number nine goes down

488
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: and Drew Breese gets hurt and goes down, then you

489
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: pretty much figure the season is not going to be

490
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: exactly what you wanted to be. Okay, if something, yeah,

491
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: but you've got to figure out who's gonna be the

492
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: second guy. I think it's gonna be time Savage. To

493
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: be honest with you, takes Hill will still be on

494
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: the fifty three man because he's such a valuable part

495
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: of special teams. But I would assume Tom Savage, just

496
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: based on experience, will be your number two. Guys. The

497
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: great ones don't play much in the early preseason games.

498
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: Last year, the Jags opened with the Patriots, and we

499
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: didn't see Tom Brady. Will we see Breese tonight? I'm

500
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: not sure he might go a series and too. Personally,

501
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: I would probably just put him in bubble wrap and

502
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: now allow him towards the field. He's competitive, he I'm

503
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: sure he wants the reps he wants it. Uh, they

504
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: have not been in a contact situation this entire preseason,

505
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: I mean this entire training camp so far, so they

506
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: might want to get out there and knock the rust off,

507
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: but he really does not need the work. Now he

508
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: hadn't looked fantastic and practiced against this defense. Its defense

509
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: much improved. But this defense also knows what this offense

510
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: is doing. They've been seeing them think, you know, March,

511
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: and they know everything this offense doing. So they've got

512
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: a couple of picks off Drew and you know, he's

513
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: type who he wants to get out there and he

514
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: wants to extract some revenge of pound the flesh on somebody. Yeah,

515
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: I personally probably wouldn't have him out there, but I

516
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised to see him going a series to two.

517
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: I wish this was the third preseason game because I'd

518
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: like to see this Jaguars defense that it has such

519
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: great expectations for itself after last year. See this quarterback

520
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: maybe the most efficient quarterback I have ever witnessed um,

521
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: But we're not gonna get to see that this year,

522
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: only in the super Bowl. So let's maybe we can

523
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: get there right I'd love to hope some teams that

524
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: does seem to have seemed to have some ingredients. So

525
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: let's see what happens. John one more for you. I

526
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: saw on ESPN yesterday Alvin Kamara said we beat the

527
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: crap out of the Eagles because we were rolling. If

528
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: we won versus Minnesota, I know nobody was gonna stop us. Now,

529
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: the Jogs of a ton of confident individuals on their team,

530
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: how do the Saints respond to confidence like that they're

531
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: gonna back. He's a confident kid and not not necessarily cocky,

532
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: but Alvin is you know, he's one of those guys

533
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: who he will tell you what's on his mind. You

534
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: get him in some unguarded moments, and he has a

535
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 1: lot of unguarded moments, he will he will tell you

536
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: exactly what song is mine. Marshall Adamore is the same way.

537
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas is that way, but Mike Thomas will more

538
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: likely say something like that on Twitter or he might

539
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: not see it publicly. But they've got this young group

540
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: of guys they have, and I know there might seem

541
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: to be a generation gap between them and Breeze. You know,

542
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: they keep Breeze a little bit younger than probably he

543
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: he really is. But these guys are confident. Um, I

544
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: don't I guess you could board. I guess you know,

545
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: some people might call it cocky, whatever you want to

546
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: call it. These guys have it and they're not afraid

547
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,719
Speaker 1: to express it. They'll let you know on the field,

548
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: sometimes they'll let you know off the field. Uh. They

549
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: feel like they're capable of beating anybody. And that's the

550
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: attitude they came in with last year and then really

551
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: again it helped this team on clearer hurdles that they

552
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: hadn't been able to clear. They had been seven and

553
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: nine for three consecutive seasons and had not looked good

554
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: in the process, and then to jump up and win

555
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: the division at eleven and side we win the playoff game.

556
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: That was not solely because of those young players, but

557
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: and do in large part due to those young guys

558
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: because of what they added. You know, it's not ridiculous

559
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: for us to talk Super Bowl for both of these teams,

560
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: which makes it fun. Hey, thanks John for getting up

Speaker 1: like game day, ms man. I'm ready to something that

601
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: I've been looking forward to. So I'm gonna go out

602
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: there and tackle with the same passion that I've had

603
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: as a player, and then we'll see what happens. I'm

604
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: just gonna get out of your way then, because the

605
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: passion that you had as a player was fast and powerful,

606
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 1: and I don't want you to run me over any

607
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: Let me let me backtrack a little bit because I'm

608
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: gonna need you. I'll be there about. Yeah that that

609
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: is bad, which one of us a shock, But we'll

610
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: just leave that one alone. Okay. I just want to

611
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: say this, um, this is, this is and I don't

612
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: want to offend any other former players. This is the

613
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: guy that I enjoyed most watching in his time in Jacksonville.

614
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: Every time Fred Taylor had the ball in his hands,

615
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: he was a threat to score. This was his second

616
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: carry in a game as the starter, right because James

617
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: Stewart went down. I'm showing the fifty two yard touchdown

618
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: run against balls More in Week three, Fred James Stewart

619
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: was the starter when the game started. Three plays into it,

620
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: he's out. Fred's second carry as a starter goes for

621
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: fifty two yards in a touchdown. There's the big Monday

622
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: night er against the Miami Dolphins. Seventy seven yards. The

623
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: stadium erupts. So Fred, no no pressure, But we're expecting

624
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,239
Speaker 1: you to be like John Madden. Here's the touchdown run.

625
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: We're showing the touchdown run against Miami, the seventy seven

626
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: yard and the thing that makes it stand out, it's

627
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: just the the guys you ran away from it was.

628
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: That was a good night right there. That that was

629
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: a great night. Uh, first Monday night game. And I

630
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: remember being stretched by our old trainer, Joe yep and

631
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: I told Joe, you know what, let me get off

632
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: the ground real quick on score test. Now I'll be

633
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: back right. The beautiful the beautiful part about this is

634
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,959
Speaker 1: is we're talking about the Jags all time leading rusher

635
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: obviously prior to the Jaguars member with Fred here, but

636
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: tonight we're gonna talk about the net generation like we're

637
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: gonna talk about Leonard for that a lot. And you

638
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: know you've had a chance to talk with him, to

639
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: watch him. What do you think the most important thing

640
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: for him as he enters his second season? What should

641
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: he be working on and focused on as we start

642
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: the preseason, Fred, you know what I think, Leonard he

643
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: has all the twols. He's showing that he's dedicated by

644
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: going out and dropping about twenty pounds, and that just

645
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: shows once. I think this year he just has to,

646
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, work on the small things, uh, you know,

647
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: trying to show everybody that he can be every down

648
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: back because last year, you know that they pulled him

649
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: out a few times and on a few occasions on

650
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: third down. Uh, So he has an opportunity to go

651
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: and show that he has great hands, that he can't

652
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: pick up the blitch and and then every down back.

653
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: And really, uh, I think that was the only thing

654
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: that he didn't do last year. I like to see

655
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: him play sixteen games and uh and and and push

656
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: push my record, push my season mark, or out rush

657
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: me and my league and and take advantage and get

658
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: the single season record. So since you bring up sixteen games, Um,

659
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: he had that nagging ankle injury last year that just

660
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: it slowed him down. And in your second year you

661
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: had that hamstring that costs you six games. Luckily, James

662
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: Stewart was here, so the two of you guys could

663
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: kind of go back and forth. We're talking about this earlier.

664
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: What's important for him physically? I mean, he lost twelve

665
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: fifteen pounds, you know, what else would you tell him

666
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: he needs to do over the course of the season.

667
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: What what did you do to get to that point

668
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: where you were consistently on the field. Well, you know what,

669
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: I again, I got with and uh then I just

670
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: decided to myself, I'm tired of being injury. I'm gonna

671
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: do what I know. You kind of totally avoid injuries,

672
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: but you can do all that you can to try

673
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: and minimize those. And and for me, it was waking

674
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: up at five thirty in the morning. You know, we

675
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: had eight o'clock team meetings, but I would be in

676
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: the stadium, you know, no later than six thirty, you know,

677
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: just doing my maintenance. So maintenance is gonna be the

678
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: key for him. You know, he's gonna want to make

679
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: sure anytime he feels threatened by anything, you know, whether

680
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: it hurts a lot, or it doesn't hurt, whatever it

681
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: may be, he has to get in there and say, look,

682
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: I stubbed my toe last week. So because the stuff

683
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: token turned into a calf strain or a a sore

684
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: lower back, So he wants to get in there and

685
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: make sure they're doing treating them with tom so it

686
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: doesn't get worse. So a little things like that. I mean,

687
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: that's just so it's that you're dedicated, you know, because

688
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: some guys overlook it. I don't have the time, They

689
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: feel that they have something more important to do. But

690
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: if if he can just take advantage of the small

691
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: things and take care of those small things, he's gonna

692
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: be totally fine. Fred. Looking at the matchup tonight against

693
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: the Saints, you mentioned last night that this was gonna

694
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 1: be You're gonna find out a lot whether this team

695
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: was going to play a sloppy game or a clean game.

696
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: What else would make this a successful game for the Jaguars.

697
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: You know, I think the thing about the think about

698
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,439
Speaker 1: the Treat season is, you know, there are a lot

699
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 1: of new guys, you know, the starters from a year ago.

700
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: They're excited to be back. They want to get out

701
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: there and get there a couple of snaps. They know

702
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: they're not gonna play a lot, but they do want

703
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: to get out there and get their snaps and and

704
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: be as clean as that they could possibly be, and

705
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: to other minimize errors. And that's you know, that's what

706
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: the coaches are looking for. That's gonna be a sign

707
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 1: of these guys have been paying attention throughout training camp,

708
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: and it's gonna show you how far along. Uh, not

709
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: only the returning players are, but the new guys and

710
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: the and the better and faster of the new guys,

711
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: and with the less messing us that they play, they'll

712
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: get the younger guys in much quicker because the coach

713
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be, you know, satisfied with what they've seen

714
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: out of the returning guys. And for the young guys,

715
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be one of those things that

716
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: if they run too fast, they'll trip, you know, because

717
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna try their best. I remember those days were

718
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: wound trip over my own feet by simply trying my heartiest.

719
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: And it's gonna be some of that. So they're gonna

720
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: mess up, but you want to just try your best

721
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: to minimize it. And uh, you know, look at the

722
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: film and get ready to try and do better the

723
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: next game. Fred, you you displayed your attitude. You played

724
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: with great attitude. Mike does can attest to that. I

725
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: think he still feels tread marks that you placed with

726
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: your foot in his mouth as you ran over him

727
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: here on a Sunday night in two thousand three. I

728
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: remember a throat slash or two back when that was

729
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: you know, uh you you played with it right, Um.

730
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: These guys talk the game now they play with it too.

731
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: They talk with their attitude during the week, and they

732
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: feed off of it. What are your thoughts on a

733
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: team who swagger is as verbal as it is physical

734
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: in favor that the confidence, I'm okay with it, you

735
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 1: know now, and then I'll give the team bullets and

736
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: board material in I knew I was going to go

737
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: out there and back it up long time ago in

738
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: college coach Thursday, Freddy, You're giving them bullets coaching goods,

739
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: you know. And as long as you go out there

740
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: with that Mohammed Ali attitude, because that's what made Muhammad

741
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: Ai great. I'm not saying these guys or Ali or anything,

742
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: but you know, just that swaggering that the me there.

743
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 1: You want to go out there and if you put

744
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: something out there, just go back it up, then you

745
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: look like you're the greatest. You know. It looked like

746
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: all I just got knew what he was talking about

747
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: all alonger and and it's as simple as that. But

748
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: when you go out there and you can't back it up,

749
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: then I mean you open up a can of worms,

750
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: and you know, the media comes after you and other

751
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: teams than your last thing, stock and all this other stuff.

752
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: But you have a lot more opportunities backing up a game.

753
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: Anyone else that you're watching for tonight, any guy that

754
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, as you've talked to people and done your homework,

755
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 1: that stands out, You're like, Yeah, I want to see

756
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: this guy in game action. You know, talking to a

757

Speaker 1: few guys I would have loved to see a month creef.

00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: You know, he's been a little banged up and and

759
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: but prior to that he was having an excellent camp

760
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: b J. Chart. I'm ready to see chart people. He's

00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: makes his debut as a television analyst this evening, and

784
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: is about your favorite football team? Is the Jaguars get

785
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: set to open the preseason against the New Orleans Saints.

786
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: A quick break, we come back, look around the a

787
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: f C South and we'll wrap up this Thursday brought

788
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: to you by the Fields Automotive Group. After this on

789
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Digital Network. Secret that I love the sandwiches

790
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: at Daily's dask But there's one sandwich that stands above

791
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: the rest of them, and it keeps me coming back

792
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,959
Speaker 1: over and over again. It's called the Boss. They pile

793
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: that bad boy with lots of roast beef, munster cheese,

794
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions, and of course some dash sauce.

795
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: Which as much as I traveled during football season, this

796
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: sandwich is one more thing that makes me eager to

797
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 1: get back to Jacksonville. I could eat the Boss every

798
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: Day Dailies, a local Jacksonville company. It's nicer here. Jaguars

807
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: could be a hot one though, and uh, there is

808
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: a chance for some thunder stories, but I think those

809
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: are this afternoon, so there should be no weather issues

810
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: other than it's gonna be warm in Hello, news flash,

811
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: it's Florida in August. We're hoping for a beautiful night

812
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: for rough football, exciting preseason football. Okay, that might be hyperbole, um,

813
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 1: because there's gonna be some guys that don't play on

814
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: both sides that will tamper it down. But it'll be

815
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: fun and I'm sure the fans will feel the same

816
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: way to be back in the stadium. This was a

817
00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 1: winning environment last year, especially in December when the games

818
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: matter the most November and December for that matter. So

819
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: people are excited all over town. And even though it's

820
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 1: only a preseason game, we're excited to Yeah, just back

821
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: to being Jaguars. Not the only game this evening. Twelve

822
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 1: games I think in the NFL and a couple in

823
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: the a f C South. So let's get some thoughts

824
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: here real quick. On the a f C South, the

825
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: Titans are playing at the Packers. Probably won't see much

826
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers, but that's the debut for Mike Rabel

827
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of optimism there. He is, you know,

828
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 1: from the Belichick tree and did a nice job with

829
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: the Texans the last couple of years. And I think, um,

830
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: I think there's some belief that the Titans team that

831
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: went to the divisional round got beat in New England.

832
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: UH can do what the Jaguars did, and that is

833
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: take a step right, get over that other hump um.

834
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of talent. They've got some young

835
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: new talent on the defensive side of the ball. Again,

836
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: don't know how much we'll say. I don't. In fact,

837
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: I don't think Sean Evans is playing. He's their first

838
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: round pick from from Alabama. But they have the kid

839
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: that they drafted from Boston College, the pass rusher, Harold

840
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: Landry show um watch for that. And of course Derrick Henry,

841
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: the kid from you Les for inandina Um is the

842
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 1: feature back this year. So they have the taste of

843
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: the Patriots. They went out and signed Malcolm Butler on

844
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: defense and Dion Jordan's on offense. So there's that one.

845
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: Let's see what else have we got. The Texans are

846
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: at the Chiefs. We talked Texans earlier this week with

847
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 1: deep do but Shahn Watson will play tonight and well,

848
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Uh. He was exciting last year,

849
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 1: but people have him as the best quarterback in the

850
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: a f C South. The samples a little small, let's

851
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: be I mean exciting for sure, uh and and has

852
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 1: the potential. You're talking about a guy that's coming back

853
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: from an a c L. So take a deep breath.

854
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 1: And by the way, especially with just preseason, you don't

855
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: want to risk that. Yeah, I mean, the a c

856
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 1: L is not what it used to be. When I

857
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: first started in this league twenty five years ago. That

858
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: could be a career ender. Now it's hardly even a

859
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:59,720
Speaker 1: year for technology. Watson has torn both left in college.

860
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: Right now in the NFL, I think it's wise to

861
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: give him a step back. Probably won't see much of J. J.

862
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: Watt this evening either, but you know he's a guy

863
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: they're counting on. I mean he he wrecks offensive game plans,

864
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 1: just totally wrecks them. And I remember last year early

865
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: in the ballgame and what didn't look like the same J. J. Watt. Course,

866
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: he missed a lot of two thousand six team with

867
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: the back and then you know, midway through the season

868
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: he breaks his leg in a in a horrible way

869
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: and misses that season. So Texans fans are excited to

870
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: see him after two years in which they don't have

871
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 1: the best defensive player of his generation. That is not

872
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: an exaggeration, NFL Defensive Player of the Year, a couple

873
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: of times, highest paid defensive lineman in football for a

874
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: long time rhythmic player. And then probably the biggest story

875
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: in the a f C South is the return of

876
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck, who admitted that even though he has been

877
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: out of the game for more than a year with

878
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: the shoulder, hell, he's excited to play, but he'll be

879
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 1: nervous a year break. How much has changed in a

880
00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: year to now? Do you know who's going to be

881
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: more nervous? Probably Frank Roich the first hit that he takes,

882
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: the first time he lands on that shoulder, right, Yeah,

883
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: that's a lot to ask that, And and maybe the

884
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: Say family will be a little bit nervous. I mean,

885
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: this is a guy they have committed a huge chunk

886
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: of their financial future too. And obviously, look, if he plays,

887
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: he gives them a chance. Their defense is terrible, they're well, no,

888
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,879
Speaker 1: but it's true, right, their defense has a long way

889
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: to go. But if Luck plays, their offense can give

890
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: their defensive break and that's just that's what would Jalen

891
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: say there? Their defense is a long way I used

892
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: chill yesterday in our meeting. Yeah, no, I'm getting there. Yeah,

893
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: that's what Doing the show a couple of days without

894
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: John gives me the chance to, you know, absorb a

895
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: little bit of the hip nous that you bring to

896
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: the show. Um. But luck if he's back this season

897
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: makes them a competitive team, even though their defense has

898
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: who ways to go. I mean, let's face it, last

899
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 1: year was a lost year for them. This year they

900
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: went out and spent some money in free agency. Uh,

901
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: not a lot, but enough, and they had a great draft. Um,

902
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: so we'll see a ton of it. Yeah, it's so

903
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: that's the storyline to follow there. And of course tonight

904
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: we'll have all the storylines for the Jaguars and the

905
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: Saints Saints Saints seven o'clock on Fox thirty here in Jacksonville.

906
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: Fred joins me in the booth. Ashland joins Brent Martineau
