WEBVTT - Ep. 16: How Does Jaguars' Roster Stack Up Against Colts? | Jags A.M. | Jacksonville Jaguars 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:05.040 Now for days away from the start of the season, 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:08.240 is this the season that you've been most excited for 0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:09.559 or you've seen the most hype for the team. 0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:11.440 I think it's the most excited I've been for season 0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:12.520 since nineteen ninety nine. 0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:15.920 Yeah, I think definitely the most hype and uh, the 0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:36.440 outlook for this team is better than Spanson's ninety nine. 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:41.159 Welcome into Jags Am presented by Jet Home Loans. I'm 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.280 Kinnannie Stevens, Brian Sexton, John Osier here with me as 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:46.720 we get prepared for Week one. We're gonna talk a 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:48.919 little bit about the game plan and what we've got 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.680 looking forward to, got to look forward to in week 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.800 one because we're finally there. We're finally finally getting there. 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:56.920 What are you looking for in terms of we talked 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:58.880 about how hyped we are for this team, but Brian, 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:00.440 what are you looking at in terms of wanting to 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.320 see a Week one Well, I. 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.480 Want to see what we saw in the early going 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.600 against the Dolphins, which was in offense that could do 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.399 whatever it wants, right, I mean, there are multiple running backs, 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.240 You've got multiple options in the passing game. Look, let's 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.960 face it. Doug Peterson Press Taylor. I mean, these are 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.240 guys that are very creative offensively, and I expect to 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.360 see a level of offense that we haven't seen here 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:21.319 since ninety nine. 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:25.440 Yeah, I expect to see that. I feel we had 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.720 in the Dolphins game of a team that couldn't wait 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.759 to get out of the gate, and that in that game, 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:36.880 I got the feeling that they had practiced for an offseason, 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.880 in a preseason and just couldn't wait to show people 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.039 how good they were. You hope you see that against 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:45.119 the Dolphins, I mean against the Colts, I'm assuming you're 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:46.840 gonna see an element of that. So I think on 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:50.960 the other side, you want to see a team defensively 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.520 that is better than the observers or thinking is a 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:58.240 team that's bringing back eleven guys as far as starters. 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.520 So I think you want to see a team on 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.280 defense that has a little more energy, a little more 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.880 ability to get to the quarterback that may be observers 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.120 think if you if you see those two things, then yes, 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:09.400 I'm really excited about the season. 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.880 All Right, it's game week. Let's get to our big things. 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.000 The big thing Number one this week is gonna be 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.440 you think you know you're facing off against a division 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.720 opponent in the Indianapolis Cults. But this is not the 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.720 Indianapolis Colts that we saw last year. If they got 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.120 a new head coach, the offense is gonna be starting 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.959 a rookie quarterback. Their defense lost, you know, their best 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.359 player in Stefan Gilmore, who's now in Dallas. So, John, 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.120 what are we gonna see from this Indianapolis team? How 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.399 different is it gonna be with Shane Stiking leading them? 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:39.320 Well, I think you don't know. And that's what makes 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.480 Week one so interesting in the NFL. I think you're 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.200 gonna see a Colts team that tries to protect the 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.880 quarterback a little bit, tries to not put him in 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.560 situations where he makes mistakes, and tries to get him 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:51.480 outside the pocket. 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:53.440 They would like to create. 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.040 And maybe chaos is the wrong word, but they would 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:02.919 like to create moments where the Jaguars defense is confused 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:07.000 and doesn't know what they're doing with this quarterback. If 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.160 there's some indecision on the part of the Jaguars, think 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.360 the Colts feel like he can create enough big plays 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:15.120 to keep them in it. So, really, Week one, that's 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.720 the big mystery in the NFL. Everywhere you don't know 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.240 what you're gonna see. I sure like this better than 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:21.560 if Jonathan Taylor was playing. 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.040 Hey look everywhere every year. 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.359 I can remember standing on the field at MetLife Stadium 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.760 at twenty eighteen before the Jags Giants game and Doug 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:30.880 Marone was kind of bouncy and I said, but just 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.480 you know, opening day nerves, and he goes, no, I 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.880 really don't know. They've got a coaching change, They've got players, 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.120 We've got it. You just don't know an opening day. 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.040 It just always feels this way. So it's one of 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.480 those things that both teams are gonna deal with it. 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.600 It's not an advantage to one or the other. But 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:51.000 you know, when you talk about division rivalries, generally you 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.720 feel like you know a little bit more. It's completely different. 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:57.720 This is no longer the past happy Colts of Peyton 0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:59.720 Manning and Andrew Luck and what they tried to have 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:03.920 with Philip Rivers and Carson Wentz and most recently Matt Ryan. 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:05.520 I mean, this is a team that wants to beat 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.040 up at the line of scrimmage and use the physical 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.960 running game, and especially with this quarterback being able to 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:11.640 open things. 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:12.320 Up for the Deep Bowl. 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.720 Very good big thing Number two for us today is 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.680 it's been a minute. Because John pointed out in our 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.360 Reporters podcast and yesterday that the Jaguars have not won 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.000 in Indianapolis since twenty seventeen. So, Brian, do you make 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:27.600 something of the fact that, you know, there's a bit 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.320 of a bugaboo with them playing in Indianapolis or here 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:30.800 we break. 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:32.240 That it was a tough place to play, you know, 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.320 and they have had good players on both sides of 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:34.560 the ball. 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:35.960 They still do have good players. 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.279 I mean, their offensive line is some really talented guys, 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.479 their defensive line with DeForest Buckner. They got a first 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.000 round pick in Quinny pay Shaquille Leonard is a guy 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.920 that can make a lot of noise if he's healthy. No, 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.159 I mean they play well at home. They've been a 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.920 good team. They've not been a great team. The Jaguars 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.040 haven't been that good of a team since twenty seventeen 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.000 until last year, and they probably should have won last year. 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.159 They had the lead there with two minutes to play, 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.080 but Jack Griffin became the are getting couldn't hold up 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.680 and gave up the game winning touchdown. So I don't 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:06.719 make a lot of it other than the Jaguars haven't 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:07.320 been good enough. 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:08.680 I think that changes this year. 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.360 Well, it's been a series where both teams have won 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:15.360 at home five years in a row now, So yeah, 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.360 I make a little bit of it. I think I 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.360 make more of what Brian just mentioned. 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:21.080 This is a defense. 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.920 Gus Bradley is still there as defensive coordinator, meaning this 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:26.719 defense knows how it wants to play. 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.360 I don't think the defense will have very much confusion. 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.080 That worries you a little bit because you're not going 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:33.960 against new there. You're not going to see very many 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.400 communications breakdowns, and there's some talent. I think that's where 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.520 the Colts have a chance to sort of stay in 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.520 this thing. But in terms of winning up there, when 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:44.359 they went up there in seventeen, the Cults are basically 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:45.000 a broken team. 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:46.360 Andrew Luck was not there. 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:48.240 They shut him out by there twenty eighth. 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.159 To uh yeah, that had just sort of happened. So 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.360 you sort of hope with a new quarterback with Jonathan 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.360 Taylor nut there that they have that broken feeling. 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.279 Our last big thing is going to be state of 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.159 the line. Because the offensive line was a strong sceon 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:03.880 going into training camp. They had some injuries but the 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.640 starters are still mostly intact. But going up against that 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.200 cult's defense, which they had trouble with at times, the 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.760 Forrest Buckner always a force for them. Brian, what are 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:13.240 you looking at in terms of how they're gonna be 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:13.800 dealing with that? 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:15.200 Well, I mean, Buckner's a game wrecker. 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:16.840 I mean in the middle of the line, he can 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:20.800 get his hands up and bat down balls. He legitimately 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.279 he did not play as well last year. He was 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.320 dealing with injuries. But he's the kind of guy that 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.520 you really worry about, and he makes guys around him 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.359 a lot better. Grover Stewart is a very good you know, 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:31.479 I don't know whether there's a nose tackle or a 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.880 three technique. However, they decided to play him and Quid. 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.080 He pays a former first drop pick who's got speed 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.960 and explosiveness. Well, if you're having to double to Forest 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.520 Buckner on every play, you're opening up opportunities for their guys. 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:42.960 Again. 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.840 To Jaguars line with a rookie starting at right tackle, 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:47.960 Walker Little played well last year when he had a 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.080 chance to play left tackle, but you know, you're still 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.120 waiting for him to settle in there. I just think 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:55.160 it's the offensive line was a storyline in training camp. 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:56.720 Will it still be on Sunday night? 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.119 Yeah, Forest Butner is a force. 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.600 What you wonder is Shaquille Leonard remember a couple of 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.279 years ago, was as good as any linebacker in the league. 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.680 Did not play very much last year. It is dealing 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:12.480 with stuff. If he makes it back, then all of 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:16.320 a sudden, they've got two elite kind of players on defense, 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.440 starts turning that defensive unit around. You just kind of 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.840 feel right now that an interior player to Forrest Buckner, 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.240 this Jaguars team, as good as it is offensively, should 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.679 be able to handle that and explode for some points. 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:31.960 It's not that you don't worry about it, but you 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.440 assume that the Jaguars have enough to overcome that. 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.040 Should be under control. All right, coming up, we're gonna 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.160 get to this or that as we look at the 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.360 game against Indianapolis coming up on Sunday. Well, here on 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.520 Jags Am presented by Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville, Step up 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:57.800 to Luxury field Atto dot com comparison shopping cash back 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.320 Coupon's all in one, It's freeze check out price dot 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.040 com today and we're coming back with you here on 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.760 jags Am, we're gonna be doing our price dot com 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:10.240 this or that. We've got game week this week. So oh, 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.480 I love the theme song. All right time, we're gonna 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.160 start up with you. What's your this or that this week? 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.000 Well, here's it's a margin victory, right, So do you 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:18.800 think that the Jaguars win the ballgame? 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.440 And I'm picking them to win, So I'm assuming yes, Okay, 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:22.840 we're going with a way. I got it. 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.840 You expect them to win by less than seven points 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.680 or by more than fourteen points, and I'll throw it 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:28.880 out there. 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:30.400 I'm going by more than fourteen. 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.600 John, because it's a rookie quarterback in his first start, 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.000 and just randomly, I went around and looked at first 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:38.760 starts by top five quarterbacks through the history of well 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:40.479 for the last twenty years. 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:44.320 Of rookie quarterbacks, and most of them start off with 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:45.560 at least two interceptions. 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:47.959 So I'm gonna say that the Jaguars win by more 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.720 than fourteen points because I expect this offense to be 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.480 able to score and I think that the rookie. 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.200 Will give the ball up a couple of times. 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:56.600 I'm gonna go with. 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.920 Less than seven, but I believe they're gonna win by ten. 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.360 And the reason I think that is I think they're 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.240 gonna lead late and then get a pull away touchdown 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:09.640 late because I think they're gonna be leading late and 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:11.960 get a turnover, get something that happens and sort of 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:13.040 makes the score look better. 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.600 But for the purposes of your question, my friend, I'll 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.280 do lesson. 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:18.960 You think it'd be close all the way and then 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:19.640 at the end, Yeah. 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.400 I think it's gonna be close because I think I 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:25.400 think Richardson will do enough weird stuff to keep them 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.120 in it and make the fans angry with me. 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.480 They're always angry with you. John, What's or this or that? 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:31.480 This week it is. 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:37.120 Do the Juars score more or less than twenty seven points? 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:41.040 And JP Shaddrick Arstin Khley got pointed out yesterday that 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:45.520 Jedwars have never scored more than twenty seven at Indianapolis. 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:50.920 It feels like this team, I think they'll score twenty 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.360 eight to thirty. So I think they'll score more than that, 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.640 and I think the days of them not scoring more 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:58.120 than that up there. 0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:59.600 Are coming to an anger. I think this team's gonna 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:00.680 score a lot for a long time. 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:02.880 Yeah, I say they score twenty seven or more. I'm 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.120 going with thirty one. I think this is a thirty 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:06.600 one to seventeen kind of ball game. 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.960 All right. I think that's fair. Mine is similar in 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.600 expectations to what we can expect from the offense as well, 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.120 because when you're talking about scoring twenty seven or plus 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.360 out of the gate, that means an offense that's working. Well. 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.000 Mine's about Calvin Ridley. Everybody's been talking about the new weapon. 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.120 Are we gonna see him come out of the gate, 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.360 have one hundred plus yards a touchdown or two and 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:25.760 all this right out of the gate? Or is this 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.480 something that's gonna build a chemistry with Trevor Lawrence. We're 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.280 gonna get more of a breakout game later in the year. 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.400 I'm going with I think it'll be a slow burn. 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.520 I think that we will see flashes from him, but 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.240 I don't know if we're going to see that crazy 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.440 connection right out of everything in game one yet. 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.600 I don't know what stats we're gonna see from Calvin, 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.480 but I don't think it's gonna take him long. DIACI 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.440 made the Trevor Lawrence we saw in training camp. The 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:53.520 suddenness and the speed is really impressive out of Calvin Ridley. 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:57.360 Maybe the stats don't show up because I think maybe 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.319 teams know about. 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.120 Him and to try to take him away. 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.240 But I don't think you're gonna see a feel of 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:09.120 Jaguars fans wondering why they got this guy. I just 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:10.640 don't know if the numbers are gonna follow it. I 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:11.920 think he's gonna be fine out of the gate. 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.240 If you're Gus Bradley and you look at the Jaguars offense, 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:17.640 who are you saying we've got to. 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.079 Stop him at all costs? Right? I mean, I think 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.679 number one is Calvin. 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.600 Ridley, and so I think you'll see them roll their 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.040 coverages his way, not wanting to give up the big 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:29.960 play and thinking that with Shack Leonard in the middle 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.200 there they can keep things in front of them. I mean, 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:33.959 that's kind of the way you play with the cover three. 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.160 So my guess is, and that's Gus Bradley's based defense. 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.480 So my guess is is that Jay Jones is a 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.200 guy who's gonna have a big day because I think 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.080 they're gonna be so worried about him and Ingram beating 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.920 them for the short yardage underneath and what Christian Kirk 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.160 can do for them at Travis ETN. I think Say 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.200 Jones is a guy this year who's gonna have a 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:54.000 huge year. He's gonna be the beneficiary of defense, is 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.400 looking at some other things, and he is a guy 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.199 with deceptive speed and big playability. 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.600 So I think the big day on Sunday. 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.280 Lots of weapons, lots of options. We'll see what they 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:08.160 end up doing on Sunday. Coming up in our next segment, 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.680 we're gonna do a zone mail bag. John will share 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.679 his wisdom with us and answer all your questions. He'll 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:24.120 stay with us for ten years. Dreamfinders' Homes has been 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:27.080 proud to call themselves the official homebuilder of the Jacksonville Jaguars. 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:30.040 Visit dreamfinders homes dot com for all of the available 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:34.840 inventory and go Jags please. 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:38.160 Podcasts Friday, Oh. 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.880 All right, it's your favorite time of the week. John 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.080 O's You're just gonna share his wisdom with us, answer 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.480 your most written in questions, what you need to know. 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.559 So we're gonna start out with one of our uh, 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:53.880 one of our viewers, I guess I put it there, 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.040 one of our readers, one of John's readers. I'll say so. 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.440 From Omaha bar and Key injury. She says she believes 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.280 that the Tea will be at least thirteen and four 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.000 in the regular season. Do you think the win total 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:04.839 is too low, too high, or just right? 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.600 Well, I think it's too high, and I'm not I'm 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.760 not trying to criticize Sue here, but thirteen wins in 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:11.320 the regular. 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:11.760 Seasons a lot. 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.520 I'm with Sue. I mean, let's do this. 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.560 For a team they are nine last year. 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.240 I think it's a smidge too of I'm going eleven 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:19.959 or twelve wins for this team. I think eleven or 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:23.120 twelve is a good total for any team in the NFL. 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.440 So I think it's a touch too high, which doesn't 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.160 mean I don't think they're good. I just think thirteen 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:30.640 you need a lot to go right. You need to 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.600 play well every week, you need to not have things 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:34.440 go against you certain weeks, and you need to be 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:35.240 healthy all season. 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:36.200 So I think thirteen is tough. 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.360 Yeah, I mean, there's just so many examples of you 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:40.960 don't know who's going to be healthy or who's not. 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.440 I mean, so right now, Kansas City fans say, well, 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.160 you know we're at home defending champs Thursday, night against 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:48.240 the lines. Well, it appears to gonna play without Travis 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:49.880 Kelce and Chris Jones. 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:51.520 Has it reported yet We're. 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.120 Still so confident about that, right, You just don't know 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.560 over the course of an entire season and now a 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.840 seventeen week season, who's going to be there and who's 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.360 not gonna be there. So saying that we're gonna be 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.319 thirteen and four is like saying, well, we're gonna be 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.560 healthy all year. That just feels a little bit off 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:09.000 to me. So I was an eleven win team. I 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.079 mean I thought last year they should have won a 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.560 couple more games. And to me it makes sense. You know, 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.320 eleven twelve wins is about It feels like you could 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.240 overcome some injuries here and there. By the way, what 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.320 a Travis Kelce has a knee issue and doesn't play 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:23.800 for three or four weeks. 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.240 And Chris Jones is a year for week two? 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:25.560 Yep? 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.200 Okay, I mean you just don't know. The injury situation 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.760 is really what drives things in this league. 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:33.680 Yes, that's why we don't like to predict or I 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:34.920 like to predict anyway else. 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.120 Else speaker, you just did you said, well soon and I. 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:38.440 Are on the same page. We're gonna We're gonna go 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.640 We're gonna go big or go home. All right, Our 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:45.640 next writer slash viewer here is gonna be Bradley from Sparks, Nevada. 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.400 Do you think the Jags have the most balanced offense 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:52.640 when compared with the other AFP elite. 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.400 So tough to say that most balanced? 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:59.760 Yeah, he says Nanny's pretty balanced, so it's Buffalo. Yeah, 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:04.240 So I don't know if they're significantly more balanced. I'll 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:09.080 say this, they're really balanced, the Jags, And I think 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.920 what's gonna happen. The reason I chose this question. I 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.760 think they're gonna surprise people and maybe even fans with 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:19.040 how well they can run. So it's a fair point 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.560 they might wind up the end of the season with 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:25.400 everybody around the NFL talking about how balanced they are. 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:27.320 So I think they have a chance to be the 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:28.480 correct answer to this question. 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:29.320 I just don't know yet. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.040 Well, Well, we look at the AFC, though, John, I 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:34.120 mean the Chargers, the Chiefs, We talked about the Bengals 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.200 and the Bills. What what about the Jets, right, I mean, 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.000 they've got Dalvin Cook all of a sudden to go 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.000 with breeze Hall, who's back, and Aaron Rodgers and their 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.640 defenses we saw last year on that Thursday night before 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.120 Christmas really good. So I don't think there are any 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.880 more balance. But they're right there in the mix for 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.240 being one of those balanced teams in the AFC, and 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:53.040 that's what they needed to be. 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:54.960 And I think the offensive line gives them a little 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:56.320 leg up to because youre talking about the Jets. Their 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:57.920 offensive line is a mess. So like, I'll give them 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.480 skill set players, but they're really you know, you count 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.400 all eleven there and I don't really see a hole 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.160 at this point. Again, some of that needs to be 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:08.120 proven with some of the younger guys like Tank Bigsby 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.560 or you know, the tight ends if Brenton Stranger is 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.040 in there on the two tight end sets. But it's there. 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:14.800 We'll just have to wait and see what we actually 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:16.920 get out of it, all right. Our final question in 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.880 the ozone mail bag comes from Nick and he wants 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:23.080 to know are we gonna see Gardner Minshew play on Sunday. 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.280 I don't, and I understand the question. You've got a 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:31.680 rookie quarterback for the Colts, so Minshew usually plays in 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.640 that situation where things break down. I don't think barring 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.560 injuried Anthony Richardson. I don't think they'll go away from 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:39.760 him and play Minshew in week one. That would surprise me. 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:45.520 But Minshew is a presence that if Shane Stykeen is 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:49.560 thinking I'm gonna give Richardson a chance in games until 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.520 I want to see Minshew, that doesn't feel right to me. 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:53.400 So I don't think you'll see it. 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.440 Do you know at credit Gardner Minshew, who has never 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.800 backed down, he seems to have figured out his role here. 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.520 I mean he said when Anthony was named the starter, 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:03.520 I support him. 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:04.880 I think he's going to be starr in the league. 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:05.960 Connect the dots. 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:07.919 He came with Shane steik And and Sdyke and had to 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:09.800 tell him when he signed him, we're going to draft 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:14.159 quarterback at four, so understand your role. And both of 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.440 them are coached by the same off the field coach, 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:19.120 well not off the field budge away from the franchise coach, 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.200 Danny Thompson, who's a guy who has a facility. 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:22.399 Here in Mandarin. 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:26.040 So you get the sense that Minshee's perspective has been 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.320 shaped on where he fits. I mean, it doesn't no, 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:30.639 I don't think we're going to see him, because I 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:34.399
