Speaker 1: We'll have a preview of the Colts Jaguars matchup in

9
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: week one right around the corner. Big test for this

10
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense. Certainly, how they played against the run last

11
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: season was not good enough. Far from it. They'll get

12
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: a test this week against the Colts team that ran

13
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: the ball very effectively last year. The debut of the

14
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: Jaguars offense is on the Doctor coming up. What will

15
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: this thing really look like? And we'll find out. Tony

16
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: Maselli joins us at four thirty today and then Doug

17

Speaker 1: Groan joins us at five o'clock on The Doug Moron Show.

18
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: Jeff Lockerman, Good afternoon, It's Game week. Finally, Hey, JP excited?

19
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: Uh We've got a little football action tonight and then

20
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: the Jaguars home opener against the division to put it

21
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday. So it's setting up to be a pretty

22
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: good week. Yeah, I would say some game tonight. Fantastic

23
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: matchup of quarterbacks tonight. The defending champions are at Arrowhead

24
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: this evening against the Texans. Well, you know we're gonna

25
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: pick that game a little bit later in the show.

26
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: I know you can't wait for that. Let's say, get

27
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: to the news of the day. The Jags back in

28
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: the practice field Thursday to get ready for the Colts.

29
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: They were one running back shorter, though divin A Zigbo

30
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: placed on the reserve injured list after that hamstring injury

31
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: that he misspracticed with yesterday, so he's gone. The Jaguars signed.

32
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna try this, logs Dary. That's pretty good.

33
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. A couple of tricky names. Are you

34
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: very surprising about a Zigbo? I mean, holy count hamstring

35
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: and practice just kind of odd there, and especially with

36
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 1: all the attention that the Jaguars running back position has

37
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: gotten this week and last week with the release of

38
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: Leonard four Nett and uh and then James Robinson. When

39
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: they put out the depth chart, He's right at the

40
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: top of it. And so the expectation was, Okay, it's

41
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: going to be a shared role between Thompson or Zigbo

42
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: and Robinson. And now Zigbo goes to I R which

43
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: means that he can come back later on in the

44
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: season and play for this football team. And then they

45
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: go and sign dari Obo. And the only reason that

46
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: I can pronounce that is that we played the Texans

47
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: when he was with the Texans, and it was one

48
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: of the most challenging names that that I had to

49
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: pronounce and the easy way, and I always do it.

50
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: I've got these U little flip card my cheat sheets

51
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: JP and that you've seen me carrying it around all

52
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: the time, and I make a ton of notes. And

53
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: if I have a guy's name that is incredibly hard

54
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: to say or to pronounce, I write the name out phonetically.

55
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: That way that even BASSELLI could read my chart and

56
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: get it right, even though he doesn't. You know what's funny, though,

57
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: I haven't spelled out phonetically as well, and I still okay,

58
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: that's the way it goes sometimes, but we'll I get

59
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: used to that name because he's one of three running

60
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: backs that at least currently are on the active roster

61
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The injury report just came out

62
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: as well. Josiah Scott, rookie cornerback, was added today. He

63
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: did practice full though, but he's listed with a shoulder

64
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: so but a full practice was not on the list yesterday.

65
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: Tyler Eiffort full today after a scheduled day off Wednesday.

66
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: James O'Shaughnessy practiced yesterday, but a scheduled day off today.

67
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: Tyler Avis, the rookie tight end from Georgia Tech with

68
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: a knee issue, is not practiced this week yet. And

69
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: then Adam gotsis added to the list of the scheduled

70
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: day off today. And then as we mentioned by a

71
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: zigbo is on injured reserve. So there's your at least

72
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: thursday injury report for the Jags. And if you look

73
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: at the Colts sideblogs, the whole left side of the

74
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: offensive line for the Colts is on the list today. Yeah.

75
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a big deal with them. Uh,

76
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's more of a precautionary thing,

77
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: you know that I don't want to say it's a

78
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: scheduled day off, because if that was the case, it

79
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: would it would end up saying that, like the Jaguars

80
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: have certain guys that have scheduled days off, but I

81
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: think those are more precautionary. I think the concern and

82
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: what is going to be interesting I know that we'll

83
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: have to talk to Doug Moron about this later on

84
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: during the Doug Moron Show, is that this year the

85
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: rules are a little bit different about how you can

86
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: bring guys up from the practice squad as opposed to

87
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: what they've been in the past. You know, this year

88
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: you had expanded practice squad roster in which you can

89
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: have even veterans and the and the number was expanded

90
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: to sixteen. Well, in past years, if you wanted, for example,

91
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: let's say Davis the tight end, let's say he can't

92
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: play this week, Well, what would you do, Well, you

93
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: would release somebody off of your fifty three to be

94
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: able to elevate. Maybe, uh Ellison, did I say that right?

95
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: Ellison Elson? The other yeah, the young tight end that

96
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: that practice squad, yes, from North Dakota State. Well, in

97
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: years past they would have to let somebody go to

98
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: to be able to elevate Ellison off the practice squad

99
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: to be able to play on game day. The rules

100
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: are different this year, and uh and I was talking

101
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: to Doug run a little bit about that earlier today,

102
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: and we'll go into greater detail with it with him

103
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: because he can explain, I think a whole lot better

104
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: than me. But now you don't have to release somebody

105
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: to elevate somebody from the practice squad, which is a

106
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: big difference than in years past. So essentially what the

107
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: practice squad is now, it's really just an expanded roster.

108
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: And I think the only difference is is that if

109
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: a player is elevated from the practice squad to be

110
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: active on game day, then he ends up getting a

111
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: minimum salary one seventeenth paycheck instead of a practice squad salary.

112
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: So it gives the team's great flexibility. And obviously the

113
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: whole reason that they put this in was in the

114
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: case of a huge outbreak of COVID nine team with

115
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: a football team, they wanted to allow teams to be

116
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: able to feel the teams. Hey, look, if you've got

117
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: fifteen guys or sixteen guys, hey just elevate the whole

118
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: practice squad and let's go. Because with contact tracing. You

119
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: never know what might end up happening. If all of

120
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: a sudden, one guy is sick and he was around

121
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: twelve other guys or fifteen other guys, you may end

122
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: up having to utilize all of that practice squad. So,

123
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: even though the rules were designed for COVID nineteen JP,

124
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: I think the rules provide a lot of flexibility for

125
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: teams this year to be able to utilize that practice

126
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: squad in a much different fashion than what they have

127
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: done in past year. And you know, considering that there

128
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: was no preseason games this year, it kind of gives

129
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: some guys that may not have had a chance to

130
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: to really show a lot under the lights, which they

131
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: might not still, but at least they're still involved in

132
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: an NFL team with an expanded opportunity on the on

133
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: the practice. What excited to hear what Doug Moron says

134
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: about that? Um, let's hear from Doug Moron now. In fact,

135
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: he was asked this week, with the opener looming on

136
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: the horizon here a few days away, is it exciting

137
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: or daunting? It's definitely exciting, you know, I mean, you know,

138
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: you see a bunch of guys that have worked you know,

139
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: extremely hard to see guys that are pulling together. Um,

140
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not you know, obviously you can't predict,

141
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, with what's gonna occur. But um, you know

142
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: the focus, Um, you know all the things that you're

143
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: looking for that you're kind checking off the box, things

144
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: that may cause you anxiety. You know, we've worked extremely

145
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: hard about you know, discipline. We've worked extremely hard on penalty's.

146
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: We've worked extremely hard and you know, not turning the

147
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: ball over and creating turnover. So you know, we we

148
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: put a lot of time in this and and it's

149
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: been reflective in the practice now. Um, you know when

150
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: you go out there and play, you know, you expect

151
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: that to carry over, but that doesn't always happen. Head

152
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: coach Dumarone earlier this week. Yeah, I mean excited. That's

153
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: the way he has to be, right, I mean, he's

154
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: the head coach of the team. This is a group

155
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: that he believes in. It is a younger excuse younger,

156
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: but they are veteran in certain key areas, especially the

157
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: offensive line. So he's excited for what this team can

158
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: bring to the table this year. Logs well first and foremost,

159
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of people say, how can you be

160
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: excited because you're young and this team is tanking. Look,

161
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: they put together a roster that they think that they

162
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: can in with, but then also build to the future with.

163
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: Now is that going to happen or not? I mean,

164
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: that's debatable, you know, and you can argue different ways,

165
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: and eventually the win and lost record is gonna end

166
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: up being the truthth indicator obviously of was it the

167
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: right thing to do and is it the right thing

168
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: to do? But there's a lot of reason for excitement

169
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: this week jp whether you have a young football team

170
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: or whether you have an older football team right now.

171
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: First off, it's kickoff weekend, and kickoff weekend in the

172
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: NFL is incredible, especially when the nation is still in

173
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: the midst of a global pandemic and many people didn't

174
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: even expect the NFL to be able to pull this off,

175
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: So it's exciting from that aspect. Also, it is the

176
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: home opener, and the home openers, even though you're not

177
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: going to have plus strong, it still means something. And

178
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: also it's a divisional opponent, you know, so even though

179
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: you're going against teams to where the whole secrecy thing

180
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: and and to where you know, nobody knows what they

181
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: did in the preseason. You don't get to see their players,

182
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: and uh and the team's as we know JP they

183
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: went to their utmost to protect all of their little

184
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: trade secrets because camps were closed this year and they

185
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: weren't seen by other teams. Even though all of that happened,

186
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: there's there's still some others. But there's so much excitement.

187
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: I think when the season gets started. I don't care

188
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: if you're you're the favorite, the Kansas City Chiefs playing tonight,

189
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: or you're the Jacksonville jagut Wars which many people have

190
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: thirty two and the power polls. There's always excitement to

191
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: the newness of the season. And right now at zero

192
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: and zero, everybody zero and zero, and that that's why

193
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: they play the games. We're gonna find out this weekend

194
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: where this Jaguars football team is at. And I'll I

195
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: will say this too, not only this week, but the

196
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: next week the Titans on the road in Nashville. I mean,

197
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: we're gonna get a really good idea of how the

198
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: Jaguars are going to fare in the a s C

199
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: South really quick this season. The first two weeks of

200
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: the year here they come. Well and let me kind

201
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: of to that, because you know, during this past Saturday,

202
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: when the general manager Dave called well talked, he alluded

203
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: to that and said, hey, look, we're gonna know right away.

204
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: We've got a couple of tough games, and obviously some

205
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: people are picking the Colts and the Texans to be favorites, etcetera, etcetera.

206
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: And you know, look, you don't play the first two

207
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: weeks to find out where you're at, where you're at.

208
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: You know, you play to win and then you figure

209
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: out where you're at at the end of the season.

210
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: That's what mattered. It doesn't matter where you are in

211
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: week two, because as a football team, you can still

212
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: get better and from week one, week too, all the

213
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: way until your week sixteen, you know. And I think

214
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: that's what Bill Belichick has had such great success in

215
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: New England is that he always, even though he had

216
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Gronkowski, and that he always preached improvement

217
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: throughout the season, and his team's always improved throughout the

218
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: regular season. So I'm a little i want to say shocked,

219
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: but I'm a little surprised at at you know, the

220
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: comments that you know, after two weeks, we're gonna know

221
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: where we are. Well again, I want to say that, Look,

222
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 1: after two weeks, it doesn't matter where you are, it's

223
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: after sixteen weeks, you know, the whole goal is to

224
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs. When the vision get to the

225
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 1: playoffs and get in the tournament race. And so with

226
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: the young football team, I think the most important thing

227
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: is is that you've got to get better every week

228
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: so that when the end of the season rolls around,

229
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: you feel good about where you are and where you

230
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: can be. All right, let's come back in a moment,

231
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: Logs and we'll get into the Jaguars defense and what

232
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: they have in store this week against the Colts offense

233
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: with one of the top rushing attacks in the league

297
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,720

Speaker 1: some great weapons on the outside too and obviously Philip.

299
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,040

Speaker 1: to get to in different situations and stuff like that.

304
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,880

308
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: the best funds in the league and we're fortunate up

309
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: that we get to seem twice a year. Todd Wash

310
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: talking about the Colts offensive blind Welcome back Jaguar is

311
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: a happy hour. J P. Shattrick from the home studio.

312
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: Jeff Lagman from his home studio. And we're about fifteen

313
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: minutes or less away from Tony Boselli joining us at

314
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: four thirty. So here we go right in the fire

315
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: against one of the top offensive linds in football. And

316
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: we mentioned earlier that three of the guys are are

317
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: on the injury report, but it just doesn't seem like

318
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: they have missed the opener, but who knows. Let's this

319
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: is a group that, look, they've thrown so much money

320
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: at this position, at at this group across the front

321
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years to really solidify things

322
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: their draft equity and some free agent money and new contracts.

323
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the numbers. Costanzo is on a

324
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: two year deal thirty three billion. There's quinnin Nelson still

325
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: in his rookie deal, all guaranteed twenty three point eight.

326
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: Ryan Kelly just got paid fifty million total contract, Lewinsky

327
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: the right guard, three year, sixteen million, Brandon Smith a

328
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: second year player, a second round pick, still at his

329
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: rookie deal, but they feel like he's a really solid

330
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: player on the right side too. So it's a successful group.

331
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: It's a consistent group. They didn't miss a snap last

332
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: year across the front, and they're all back and most

333
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: of these guys are paid. So that's pretty good group somewhere.

334
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: Why in the hell did you finally decide to address

335
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: the offensive line with me gone? Right? He took a

336
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: beating while he was with Indianapolis, and Ryan Grigson, the

337
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: general manager, essentially got fired for it, and rightly so.

338
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: But I think What is is interesting is that the

339
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: things you mentioned about the Colds, that you know, they

340
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: played all sixteen games last year and they were think

341
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: the only offensive line that we're all able to do

342
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: that and play every play. But the Jaguars are also

343
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: returning all five starters from the offensive line from a

344
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 1: year ago. This, I don't know how many times has

345
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: has ever happened in league history. Where do you have

346
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: an opening game on kickoff weekend where both teams return

347
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: all five starters from the year before. It's very rare,

348
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: and obviously it's something that because that is the case,

349
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: that both teams have an expectation out of that offensive

350
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: line to be something that you can count on, and

351
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: the Colts have proven that they can be counted on

352
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: as an offensive line. That Jaguars are trying to reach

353
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: that level of success, and so I think it's gonna

354
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: be an interesting watch and it obviously makes Philip Rivers

355
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: very comfortable. When you're talking about a seventeenth year quarterback

356
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: who is a little long in tooth and maybe the

357
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: not the most fleet of foot. He doesn't have great

358
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: escapability outside of the pocket, but he can maneuver in

359
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: a pocket, and I'm sure it was one of the

360
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: big reasons why Philip Rivers decided to go to Indianapolis.

361
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: I mean, look, talk about comfort level, you know, leaving

362
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: San Diego slash l A. And I'm surprised I got

363
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: both of those cities mentioned with the Chargers, which I'm

364
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 1: proud of myself for that. JP by the way, and

365
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, he's got some familiarity with

366
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: Frank Reich and Sara Janni the offensive coordinator, and they

367
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: have a great offensive line. I mean, does it get

368
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: any better than that for Philip Rivers to continue his career?

369
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: And I mean, I think it's a pretty great set

370
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: up for a guy like him. Now, before we went

371
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: to the break, he referred to him as a future

372
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. That's debatable. I think I think it's

373
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: a great argument, but I wouldn't put him in that

374
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: category yet. I don't think there's much of a debate. Logs,

375
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with it. He's every statistical category. I

376
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: know he hasn't won one, but well, I know, I

377
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: I guess you. But you know what when you when

378
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: you play quarterback and you coach, what do you judged

379
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: on wins? Winning the big one, the Big One. Yeah,

380
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: wins in in the Big One, and and he hasn't

381
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: he hasn't done that. So is it enough to get

382
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: him into Hall of Fame? Probably so, But I don't

383
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: think he's a He's not going in on roller skates now,

384
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: so potential Hall of Famer is a better way to

385
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: refer to him. I know it's a it's a one

386
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: year deal for him, so this might be his swan

387
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: song this season. It does help, though, when you have

388
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: a running attack like the Colts had. We saw, of

389
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: course this first hand last year. I think it was

390
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: Week eleven last season when the Colts ran rough shot

391
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: over the Jaguars. Marlon Mack had a big hand that

392
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: day for the Jags. And this is a it's a

393
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: running group, man, I mean, and this is what they

394
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: really I think you're gonna be built to do is

395
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: hand the ball off and then Philip can do his

396
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: damnit off the run. Yeah. Look, Marlon Mack is a

397
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: really good running back. I don't think he's a very

398
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: good back out of the backfield as a receiver. I

399
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: think sometimes he has the Roberto Duran syndrome hands of stone,

400
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: and that's why they have him Hines, who is more

401
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: of a threat out of the backfield, and he's gotten

402
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: great speed. And then all of a sudden they drafted

403
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor in the second round. The Colts had quite

404
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: a few second round picks, and we're able to pick

405
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 1: up a wide receiver and running back, and running back

406
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: is Jonathan Taylor, and he's a good one from Wisconsin,

407
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: and the expectations for him are very high. So you

408
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: have really a really strong one to punch, and maybe

409
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: even a three punch if you're counting the him Hines

410
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: in that category. So the Coults are definitely gonna try

411
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: to lean on what has been their bread and butter,

412
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: particularly in an opener when you're talking about having a

413
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: new quarterback. So the Jaguars better be prepared. And watched

414
00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of film this week of the my

415
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: match up that you were referring to, which was in

416
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: Indianapolis last year, and it wasn't very good. JP. It

417
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,239
Speaker 1: wasn't very good by the Jaguars defensively at all. They

418
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: weren't getting off of blocks, they were out of position.

419
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: You didn't see a wholehearted commitment to stop in the run.

420
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: When I say a whole hearted commitment. The numbers were there,

421
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: in other words, the defensive calls, you fortified the front

422
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: to stop the run, but you just didn't see the

423
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,959
Speaker 1: emphasis in the sense of urgency by the players in

424
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: that game, and it turned out to be a game

425
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: that wasn't pretty. And the Jaguars, obviously, the next time

426
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: around in Jacksonville last year, had a whole lot better

427
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: performance than they did at Indianapolis and were able to

428
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: hold the Indianapolis Colts running game in check. If the

429
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: Jaguars don't hold the Colts running game in check, they

430
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: have no chance of beating the Colts at home this Sunday.

431
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: It's been an emphasis all off season, but we really

432
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: don't know until you go out and play what the

433
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: defense is really going to look like against the run.

434
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: Can they you know, they they've done all they can.

435
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: They've added the middle linebacker free agency, they added a

436
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: couple of other free agents who have opted out, are

437
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: retired for different reasons, and now it's the guys that

438
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: are here are gonna have to step up and do it.

439
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: And they added Journey in at the in the middle

440
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: of training camp as well. But that that middle of

441
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: that defensive line and the middle linebacker spout with Miles

442
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: Jack on the outside roaming around to make some plays.

443
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: That's where it's got to start guys in the right spot,

444
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: and then you have to have the want to after that.

445
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: But a lot of these guys are new here. They

446
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: didn't see that game last year and Week eleven, no,

447
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: And I don't know how much motivation that you get

448
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: out of what happened last year. But but I'm sure

449
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: a guy like Avery Jones or Miles Jack, and we're

450
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: talking about defensive captains that that this is in the

451
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: back of their mind because they went through that and

452
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: they know how important it is to stop the run

453
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: a it's the cults. But knowing that it's important and

454
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: then having the ability to stop it are two totally

455
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: different things. It's a it's a tremendous challenge for any

456
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: football team to stop the running game of the Indianapolis

457
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: Colt And I think it's as a huge challenge for

458
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: a Jaguars football team that has a lot of components

459
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: that are gone and then a lot of components that

460
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: were brought in to fortify areas that were maybe a

461
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: week spot last year. Some of those guys are gone

462
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: to now you know, so can they do it? And

463
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: I think that's a big question. And obviously there's a

464
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: lot of skepticism that is out there about the Jaguars

465
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: ability to improve on defense with some of the lack

466
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: of additions that they had and subtractions that they had

467
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: from last year. I mean, because and I understand it.

468
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at it from a name standpoint, JP,

469
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: the list is pretty long. You're talking about Klais Campbell,

470
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: Marcel Darius uh A, J Boy, Jalen Ramsey, and I

471
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: know that those guys aren't necessarily run stoppers. And then

472
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: Ronnie Harrison. I mean, so there's a lot of new

473
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: faces with this defense and some of the same faces,

474
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: and can they do it? We're gonna find out on Sunday.

475
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: Two new faces on defense first making now their debut

476
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, the two first round picks

477
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: c J. Henderson and Cal and Chase, and a lot

478
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: of folks I know are excited about what they could

479
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: offer on defense this year. What have you seen in

480
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: camp from the two first rounders? What do you expect

481
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: on Sunday? I know there are two different type of

482
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: roles that feels like, I think Calevan Chase On is

483
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: ready to be uh. When I say an impact player

484
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: in that it won't appear that he's a rookie. I

485
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have successful pass rush. I think he's

486
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: gonna be able to put pressure on the quarterback from

487
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: week one. He's got a real nice quickness to him,

488
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 1: He's got some power to him, He's got some advanced

489
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: hands to where he is I think a step ahead

490
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: of where Josh Allen was last year as far as

491
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: knowing how to have moves as a pass rusher, Whereas

492
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen last year was just kind of think more

493
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: more being an athlete than anything else. So I think

494
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: there's a real there's a good role that Caleb and

495
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: Ches is gonna be able to fill. He's gonna back

496
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: up Josh on regular personnel when they get the sub

497
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: which is Nickel or their dieing packages, They're both gonna

498
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: be on the field and both going to be the

499
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: edge rushers. Uh. C J Henderson, I think he's gonna

500
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: have He's gonna get tested, and I think it's gonna

501
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: be very interesting to see what light that they view

502
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: him in. Will he follow a t Y Hilton? Will

503
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: he match up with other number one wide receivers. You know,

504
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: when you draft a guy number one overall and then

505
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: in the top ten at that corner position, I think

506
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: most people would expect that that eventually maybe an right away,

507
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: but at some point you've got to take him and

508
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: put him on somebody else's best guy. And if you

509
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: look at the Jaguars roster and that corner position, that's

510
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 1: not gonna be Trey Herndon. That that's just that's just

511
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: not him. I think he's a good football player, but

512
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: to be able to match up with the true number one,

513
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: that's a that's a totally different level of of of ability.

514
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: And I think CJ has got that ability, But is

515
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: he ready for it? You know, Look, that's why you

516
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: dropped him in the first round. Time to put him

517
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: on a t Y Hilton then find out. But I'm

518
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: excited about him watching him because I think he's got

519
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: he's got the tool box. I don't think there's any

520
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: debate whether he has the tool box. The question mark

521
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: is I think with a lot of young players, especially

522
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: on that on that position that's on an island, do

523
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: they have the mental makeup to be able to have

524
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: success because at some point things are gonna go bad.

525
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: And if things go bad and you give up a

526
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: big play or you have a bad play, what's your

527
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: next play gonna be? Like? What's your next game gonna be? Like?

528
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: You know, can you work your way through? And I

529
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: think that's a question that you don't know until we

530
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: actually get there. Well, we're gonna get there Sunday at

531

Speaker 1: one o'clock and you can get there as well. Game

Speaker 1: You always at that hope, otherwise you're in the wrong business.

596
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: You know, we're very optimistic going to the season. We

597
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: know we have a lot of challenges. We had some

598
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: youth plan but really I think the biggest uh reason

599
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: for belief that I have is the offensive line. I

600
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: think the offensive line uh is very solid right now

601
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: with the tackles that we have, the interior players and

602
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: obviously the center I feel good about. So with an

603
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: offensive line, it gives you the ability to do a

604
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: lot of different things, I think, and hopefully we'll give

605
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: us a chance to get our skilled players the ball

606
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: in space and between the tackles and do some good things.

Speaker 1: What's happening. What's up guys? You know, just getting ready

613
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: for the opener. That's really about it. We've got a

614
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: lot going on. It's uh, it's right around the corner.

615
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: I can't believe it's here tonight is the first game?

616
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: Is it just new or does it not feel like

617
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: kick Off Weekend? I mean, it's just I think it's

618
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: because like historically we've all been a part of this

619
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: where you're like getting ready for the regular season, Like

620
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: you have the preseason games, and you like get tired

621
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: of pre Like you're so excited for the first preseason games, like, hey,

622
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna play someone else is in the stadium, YadA, yadi, YadA,

623
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: and then by like the third preseason game, like I

624
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: cannot wait for the regular season, We're so tired of this.

625
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: And then you're all amped up for opening Day. Well,

626
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: we've cut out such a big portion of it, and

627
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: we haven't been able to be around the team, Jeff,

628
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: like we usually are like talking to people, hanging out,

629
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: like get really amped up. And then I was like

630
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: thinking about today. I'm like, we play a game on Sunday,

631
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: Like I I'm looking looking through the game release and

632
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: and then I'm thinking, Okay, what tape am I gonna

633
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: go watch? Well, there's no tape to watch outside of

634
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: last year's game, I guess. And they got a whole

635
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: new offense because it feel up rivers and everything else,

636
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: and it's, uh, it's it's it's wacky. I think once

637
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: we get into the regular season, um, then we'll it'll

638
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: feel a bit a little bit more normal. I don't

639
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: know if if we're ever even gonna feel even close

640
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: to normal this year. I mean you you like you're

641
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: saying you typically have a build up, and I think

642
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: what may even be stranger is that, you know, we

643
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: go to the stadium on game day this Sunday and

644
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: you're talking about maybe fifteen thousand people, and uh I

645
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: mean talk about different. I mean fifteen thousand people that

646
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: that's something that you would get maybe for a scrimmage

647
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: in preseason. And uh so it's gonna be vastly different.

648
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: And you wonder as a player. You know, look, coaches

649
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: can say all they want, Tony that, Okay, you gotta

650
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 1: have guys that are pros and they're paid to play

651
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: the game and they got to prepare and they gotta

652
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: come ready to play. But to re it is Look

653
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: when I played at Virginia to use an example here,

654
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: and we will go down to play Clemson. It was incredible.

655
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean, great atmosphere. You know, the team coming down

656
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: the hill, touching the rock and getting ready to play

657
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: football game. And they hammered us all the time pretty much,

658
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: and we got beat up, but it was fun. I

659
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: mean it was eighty thousand strong in Death Valley and

660
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: then we travel maybe the Duke and there would be

661
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: a couple of people over in this section, a couple

662
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: of people over in that section, and uh, maybe twelve

663
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand people looking. I know you didn't have that

664
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: in the in the in the pack twelve or ten

665
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: or whatever it is, Tony, But I mean it's got

666
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: to be like playing at Duke back in the day.

667
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: And and yeah, I mean, yeah, you're a pro, but man,

668
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: having sixty thousand plus strong cheering and get you fired

669
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: up that I mean to not have that, that's that's

670
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 1: gonna be different. Yeah, I think it would be really different.

671
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: And as a player, Jeff, I think once you get

672
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: on the field and the game's going, it's competitive. I

673
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: don't think like the level of play will be uh

674
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: noticeably different. I mean, I can't remember remember the last

675
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: game we played in uh Basterdom in nineties six and

676
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: there was one about seven thousand people in that place.

677
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: We played the Oilers and you can literally hear each

678
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: other coming off the sideline. You could hear, but once

679
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: you got in the game, it felt like a real game. Now,

680
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: maybe it's because we were playing for the playoffs and

681
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: we were like getting better at the end of the season.

682
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: And we're really trying to shoot for something. But I

683
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: don't remember thinking, um, I wasn't playing hard. But what

684
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: I think backup is the motion that was surrounding the

685
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: game wasn't the same that gave you that I want

686
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: to say gave me individually extra juice, but to your point,

687
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: made it a more fun environment. Like it was just

688
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: exciting because you like that you could sense the you know,

689
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: the feelings of the fans and everything else. So I

690
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: think that will be missing. I can't you can't replace it.

691
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: Remember the earlier this week or maybe it was over

692
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: the weekend, I was watching UM football college football. It

693
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: was b y U maybe and I'm sitting there and

694
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: there's no one in the stands, and I felt like

695
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 1: I was watching the scrimmage because you could hear the whistles,

696
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: you could hear players, you could hear every aspect of

697
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: going back and forth. Like I felt like I could

698
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: hear the coaches screaming, and it was missing something not

699
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: I watched it. It was great. It was fun to

700
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: watch football UM. But I think it will be different.

701
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: And then I look at it for Jeff, you and

702
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: I in our experience on game day, Uh, like we

703
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: won't even see JP, probably because we're not gonna go

704
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: down the studio. We're gonna spend the whole time up

705
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: in the booth. We're not gonna go down on the

706
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: field and talk to the coaches and get those nuggets

707
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: that you kind of I feel. You get a sense

708
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: of like how everyone's feeling about the game, and you

709
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: know who's up, who's down. You know what happened at

710
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: the end of the practice, the end of the week

711
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: and practice. You know all those things we're missing. And

712
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 1: for me, like I sow it forward to the game,

713
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: It'll be fun to call the game, um, but I'll

714
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: miss that. It won't be as fun because of those experiences.

715
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a whole different deal. Um. But

716
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: I still think you have millions and millions of people

717
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: watching it, and I think the nation cannot wait to

718
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: see uh football start tonight kick it off with the

719
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs in the Texas. Hey, JP, just thought here, JP,

720
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: real quick, the with this game coming up, and obviously

721
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: it's the Colts Jaguars. Philip Rivers has been training for

722
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: a game like this for the last couple of years

723
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: or the last year in l A, right, I mean,

724
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: how many fans that they have in l A that

725
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: were that were Chargers fans, so advantaged Philip Rivers in

726
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:49,479
Speaker 1: this instance. Interesting thought there for sure. Let's go back

727
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,280
Speaker 1: to Jake Gruden at the top of the segment here,

728
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 1: you know he was he was talking about the offensive line.

729
00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: And obviously we've known all offseason, Tony, that they've they've

730
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: put a lot of eggs in this basket. This year.

731
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: They brought everybody back. Um, the entire starting line is

732
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: back from the end of last season. And you can

733
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: argue this obviously for most offenses anybody, but this for

734
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: the Jaguars offense is where this season will be made

735
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 1: or broken. If if they play well, then Gardner has

736
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: time to deal it out to all the playmakers. If

737
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,240
Speaker 1: they don't, they can't run the ball for some reason,

738
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: then Gardner is gonna have to run around like a

739
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: Chase Chicken like he was a lot last year. So

740
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: it starts up front, Tony. And where is your belief

741
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: in this offensive line a few days out? Well, I'll say,

742
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: you know after after Gardner Minshoe, the offensive line is

743
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: the most important position group on this entire team, without

744
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,720
Speaker 1: hands down. Um. I found it interesting listening to Jay Gruden.

745
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: He sounded like me. I've been like the one proponent

746
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: of this offensive line and especially last year, and I

747
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: got just skewered for it because they didn't perform. And

748
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: I was actually um at we said, and I said

749
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: in a little thing I wrote up today, Brochure is like, like, individually,

750
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: I love these guys, Like individually, they're good players, and

751
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: I think they would start on other teams. But for

752
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: whatever reason, as a group, they've been wildly and consistent

753
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: and that has to change this year. They really knew

754
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: have to be the strength and Um and Jay Gruen's right.

755
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: If you have confidence in your offensive line and then

756
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: they perform up to their expectations that everyone has, it

757
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: makes the entire team better because it makes everything easier.

758
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: It makes plain quarterback easier because you can run the

759
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: ball and you have time back there. It makes it

760
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 1: easier to get open outside because they're worried about the run.

761
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: It makes it easier to run the ball if you're

762
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,479
Speaker 1: young back and Robinson as a rookie, I'm just gonna

763
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: get a lot of carries. So um, I agree with them. Um,

764
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit more pessimistic, and it's hard for

765
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: me to be pessimistic about the offensive line, because I

766
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: do love these guys, But after going all in on

767
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: them last year and and taking a lot of heat

768
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: for it, I still believe in them. I believe them

769
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: as individuals, and I think they're well coached. I think

770
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: words War offic is a very good coach. I just

771
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: got to see it happened on the field, and they're

772
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: gonna have to show that their consistent group that can

773
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: really carry this offense. JP the to go back to

774
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,240
Speaker 1: your original comment about the offensive line, and it stemmed

775
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: from a question to the offensive coordinator, Jay Gruden, and

776
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: he was asked about the offense and his entire response

777
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 1: was essentially about the offensive line, and I didn't hear him,

778
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: and he didn't go in any way, shape or form

779
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 1: towards his quarterback, which I kind of find found that interesting,

780
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: And that when you're asked a question about your offense,

781
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: then your answer is about the offensive line. I mean,

782
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: it doesn't usually you're one of somewhere in there you're

783
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: gonna talk about your quarterback. But he didn't. I think

784
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: it's really intriguing how this offense as a whole is

785
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: going to perform, not just the offensive line, but a

786
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: rookie running back, a group of wide receivers that we

787
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: all kind of view as a very talented position, a

788
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 1: second year quarterback that we assume him is gonna take

789
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: the next step, but you can't be assured that he's

790
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: gonna take the next step. So for me, there's a

791
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: lot of intrigue, you know, especially with a new offense,

792
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator in a year in which you've

793
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: had so many things that were different and restricted in

794
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,720
Speaker 1: the off season, and so you didn't and we're able

795
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: to rep this new offense and O t A s

796
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: and mini camps or anything else. So it uh to

797
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: me it's gonna be very interesting to see where they

798
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: are at. Yeah, quite a matchup early this year too.

799
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: And you know Tony today, another change in the running

800
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: back room. Zigbo's gone on i R. They bring another

801
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: guy in off the street last second. So that position

802
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: group has been a revolving door the last week or so. Especially.

803
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,439
Speaker 1: That's not ideal. No, we got Rock Armstead on the

804
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: COVID list and it sounds like he's not gonna be

805
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 1: back for a while. Um JP, I like you this,

806
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: say who the new running backs they signed? You give

807
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: us his name please. I'd like, uh played this game earlier,

808
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: Dara ogun you but you didn't quite get it. Tony

809
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 1: your turn ole um he uh listen, Like I hope

810
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: Robinson is good, and I hope Chris Thompson, you know,

811
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: is the scap back that they want him to be,

812
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: because they put a lot of eggs in those baskets

813
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,839
Speaker 1: in that basket. And I go back to I'm of

814
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: the belief they knew from January that they were going

815
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: to find a way to get you know, try to

816
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: trade Leonard Fournette. He was not in their plans moving forward.

817
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: And because of that, I'm shocked that they did not

818
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: do more to address the running back room. And I

819
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 1: think now we're seeing, you know, this is a thing group,

820
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: and you're counting on an undrafted rookie free agent to

821
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,280
Speaker 1: be your bell cow um more than you know really,

822
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: and Chris Thompson, who's the third down scap back, who

823
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 1: has more receiving yards and rusting yards in his career,

824
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: is going to be, you know, your third down back.

825
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: Not a lot of debt um, not a lot of

826
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: room for air. And I hope Dave and Douga right

827
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 1: um as they kind of put this this room together.

828
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: I know they liked the room. I like that. I

829
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: know they like the attitude in the room. But Jeff,

830
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: I'm still shocked at knowing how I feel, at least

831
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: how I think they felt about Leonard for net for

832
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: a long time, that they didn't do more to put

833
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: some bodies in there. Yeah, I think a little bit

834
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: of the unexpected happened with with rock Armstead and then

835
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: a zig bow with the hamstring. But the good thing

836
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 1: is is that I think both of those guys are

837
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,479
Speaker 1: gonna be able to return at some point. And then

838
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: with the rule changes, you also have Cotrell who was

839
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: an undrafted running back Nathan Contrell on the practice squad,

840
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: and so I think you're gonna have the ability to

841
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: maybe elevate him up this week because O Goo bo

842
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: a is gonna be so fresh and raw to the system.

843
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: How much can he actually understand and no to contribute

844
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: to a game plan? So uh, kind of this is

845
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: gonna be an interesting year. And I mentioned earlier Tony,

846
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if you happen to hear it about

847
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: the rules are different for the practice squad and how

848
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: will that relate to to an issue like you have

849
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: now running back to where Okay, you need some somebody,

850
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, So could Cantrell come up without having to

851
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: subtract somebody from the fifty three man roster. The rules

852
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: are different for that this year, and if teams now

853
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: have greater flexibility, so I would expect that that could

854
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: be a possibility. Uh. But then again, maybe o goombal

855
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: A has some familiarity with J. Gruden system from somewhere somehow,

856
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: and he can hit the ground and run and be running.

857
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting, it's gonna be it's gonna be

858
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: a group that I think, um outside of Robinson really

859
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 1: just being a stud, and maybe it is. I mean,

860
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: maybe he's you know, it's happened before in this league

861
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: where a seventh rounder or undraped two guy comes out

862
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 1: of nowhere. I mean just two years ago, Philip Lindsay

863
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: undrafted guy from Colorado State or next to the University

864
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: of Colorado for the Broncos had a thousand plus yard

865
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,760
Speaker 1: rookie year. It was just dynamic and great. And maybe

866
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: Robinson is that guy, let's hope. So but outside of that,

867
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see a bunch of bodies back there.

868
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: And I agree with Jeff. You can see guys coming

869
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 1: up and down from the practice squad until they really

870
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: figure out, um, what they're gonna do, what they're gonna

871
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: do with that position, or how they're gonna handle that.

872
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: And it's such a far cry from where they were

873
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: the last two years. I mean, think about this offense

874
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: was designed to be built around letter for net. Um,

875
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a run first, pound the ball, physical team,

876
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: um uh. And that's how you wanted to play. And

877
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: now they've traded we're actually cut Leonard for Nette. They're

878
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: going with the young quarterback and they really i mean

879
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: running backs that fit the style that he wants to

880
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: play in and that's out of the shop and a

881
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: lot of inside outside zone and you know, quick throws,

882
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: quick passing game and everything else. So um, it's a

883
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: it's a hundred eighty degree turn for where they were

884
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 1: even last year, especially two years ago when Blake was

885
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Um. And it's very obvious with how they're

886
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: handling the person personnel in that running back room. Something

887
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 1: to watch between now on game day, see what happens

888
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: for the Jags on Sunday at running back position. Let's

973
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: Jack Abery Jones, Jared Wilson, and on special teams the

974
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: kicker Josh Lambeau. Um is that me? Or is that

975
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,760
Speaker 1: a lot of captains, Tony? That's a lot of captain

976
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: of your cent of your roster the captain, Um, I

977
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: mean not that what you know. I looked at other teams,

978
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 1: like I've seen most of them. I have four captains.

979
00:53:58,239 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: I remember Jeff when we played I think it was

980
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 1: three captains. Um. That was different. Tom named the captains

981
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 1: each game. Um, but eight, I was like, Wow, that's

982
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: a lot, Um. So whatever the reason he is, I

983
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. Uh. And the role of

984
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: a captain is different, and you know, depending on the

985
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: team in the culture in the locker room. UM, for instance, like,

986
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 1: we never voted for captains. When Jeff and I played,

987
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: Tom named him each game, and like, but you know

988
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: who the leaders were. It was very obvious who the

989
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: leaders in the locker room were, UM, and then the

990
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 1: other teams. And nowadays they vote for captains, which I

991
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 1: think is great. By the way, I get. I agree

992
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 1: with Gardner what he said. It's quite an honor. I

993
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: guess I was just a little bit surprised that we

994
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 1: have so many but more the merrier, I mean, with

995
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: the distancing, they might not all be able to go

996
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 1: to the coin toss anyway, right, Yeah, to be very crowded. Well,

997
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 1: it will make for an interesting coin toss. I can

998
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 1: tell you that you got that right before we go

999
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 1: on to a Thursday night thinking the game tonight. We

1000
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: we earlier before you jumped on here, Tony. We're talking

1001
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,919
Speaker 1: about the Colts offensive line. And they played every game

1002
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 1: last year, all five positions, super consistent. They were a

1003
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: top ten rushing attack last year. There most of them

1004
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 1: have big contracts, by the way, now, they just paid

1005
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,879
Speaker 1: the center recently. How good is this group compared to others?

1006
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 1: In the league. Oh, I'll just go by what we

1007
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: saw last year. Obviously, I haven't seen what they're gonna

1008
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 1: do this year. But they're very good. UM top ten

1009
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:35,359
Speaker 1: rushing attack top ten and sacks allowed. UM. They were

1010
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 1: the strength of the offensive line. And I think they're

1011
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: a very dangerous team because that they can protect and

1012
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: if you give Philip Rivers a bunch of time, which

1013
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 1: he hasn't experienced in a long time because behind that

1014
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 1: sieve of an offensive line and uh in Los Angeles

1015
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: said he had to play behind Um, he's fighting for

1016
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: his life. Uh, He's gonna be dangerous because he's gonna

1017
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 1: get them in the right play, in the right situation,

1018
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: and if he has time, he's gonna find the open receiver.

1019
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 1: So I think the culture very good, and I think

1020
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: it does start up front with their offensive line. And

1021
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 1: they got Marlon back back there, who's an effective back

1022
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 1: as well. And they got Taylor, the rookiet of Wisconsin,

1023
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: who you know, rushed for like six million trillion yards

1024
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:18,919
Speaker 1: in college and rewards at a campus. He's pretty good. Yeah, yeah,

1025
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, holy cow, he's a great he's a great back.

1026
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: You know, we haven't even talked much about the additions

1027
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: that the Colts have to their defense. They gave up

1028
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,720
Speaker 1: a first round pick to acquire the Forced Buckner, who

1029
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 1: is essentially like a Kliss Campbell that can play and

1030
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 1: he can play a free technique. He can he can

1031
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 1: pass rush, and he can stop the run. He's a

1032
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: great football player. And then nix Xavier Rhodes at the

1033
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: corner spot, who's a big, physical corner. It wasn't very

1034
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: good last come back and even more healthy. Yeah, I know,

1035
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 1: I know, but he's in his past. He's been been

1036
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: pretty good in past. So I think it's gonna be,

1037
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 1: you know, a better Colts defense and certain league with

1038
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: another year under their belt for some of those young

1039
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: players that they've had, because you know, a couple of

1040
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: years ago they committed the youth and so some of

1041
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: those guys you know, and and one of them that's

1042
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 1: obviously is the best of Darius Leonard. I mean, he

1043
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:14,919
Speaker 1: we don't even have to talk about him coming into

1044
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 1: his own The day he stepped foot on an NFL field,

1045
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: he was an impactful player and he's only going to

1046
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: get better, no doubt about that. Now, time to pick

1047
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football. It's the season opener in the National

1048
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: Football League. It's a battle of the two highest paid

1049
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in league history. Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super

1050
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 1: Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs entertained to Shaun Watson and

1051
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. Kickoff time at eight twenty and Arrowhead

1052
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: seventeen thousand expected in attendance. Oh, you got tonight in

1053
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: the season opener on kickoff weekend, Tony. I got the

1054
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: team all the way. They got the best quarterback in

1055
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 1: the league. I think probably one of the best coach

1056
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: teams in NFL. UM. They're good at every position group.

1057
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: On the offensive side of the all they got Chris

1058
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: Jones back is the defensive lineman who's very disruptive. I

1059
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 1: think they're really good and I have I think I

1060
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: think the Texans or a question mark. I actually have

1061
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: them as the third best team in the NFC South. UM.

1062
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: I don't think they're great on defense. UM, and offensively,

1063
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, with no DeAndre Hopkins, I'm interested in how

1064
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: they run that offense because he was a safety outlet.

1065
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 1: He was a safety blanket, to pacifier, whatever you wanna

1066
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: call whatever. Deshaun Watson was in trouble, he'd find me.

1067
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. So I think Deshaun Watson is an outstanding

1068
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: player and because of that, the Texans got a chance.

1069
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: But I think the Chiefs win by ten points. Interesting.

1070
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: It will be very interesting to see how Deshaun Watson takes,

1071
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 1: you know, where his game goes without DeAndre Hopkins. A

1072
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: lot of times quarterbacks get better without the guy that

1073
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: they feel like that they have to throw it to

1074
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: and then they just allow the offense to dictate where

1075
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: the ball goes. So could that be the case with

1076
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. I don't know, but I mean, for me,

1077
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is such a marvelous player. They've got so

1078
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: much speed with at Kansas City offense. They've got a

1079
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 1: very good offensive line, one of the better offensive lines

1080
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: in the league, and they're at home. I don't see

1081
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 1: them losing. Tonight should be a good one. The Texans

1082
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,920
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs kick off the season coming up tonight, Tony,

1083
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 1: we will talk to you Sunday on the Public's tailgate

1084
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 1: show It see you boys, all right, Tony Vaselli, out

1085
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 1: of here. Head coach Doug Barone is coming up. Jeff

1086
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: Loguman and I will stick around the Doug bron Show.
