WEBVTT - Ep. 17: Colts Insider Perspective for Week 1 | Jags A.M. Podcast 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:20.800 Welcome, and you guys were here on jag z A. 0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:23.600 I'm kind Nannie Stevens with Brian Sexton John Osier as 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:25.600 we get ready for the Colts this week, you guys, 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.000 I know, we've been talking kind of generally about if 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:29.760 we're really gonna deep dive today, and we're gonna get 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:32.000 an insider in with us as well in terms of 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:34.000 a player specifically, who are you guys kind of looking 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:36.159 at in terms of the cults as someone you're game 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:38.640 planning for or who could be problematic for the Jaguars. 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:43.080 Anthony Richardson obviously is whoever was looking at right the quarterback, 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:47.479 but for me, whoever is being covered or whoever is 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:51.560 covering Jay Jones, because I think Zay is primed to 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:52.400 have a big game. 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.880 I'll go Michael Pittman. Now the wide receiver. Anthony Richardson 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.520 is one everybody's got to watch in order to be interesting. 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.240 I'll say, all right, so we'll go over some of 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.560 our big things today. Our first big thing is going 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.559 to be pushed to start, because as we've been talking 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.000 about having a fast start, the team really needs to 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:13.880 focus on getting the offensive offense going quickly and not 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.120 just a fast start, but also a clean start for them, 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.319 and Doug head coach Doug Peterson talked a little bit 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:27.160 about that yesterday. Well, Doug kind of went over with 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.280 us at least yesterday in his press conference, saying, Yeah, 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.000 you want to a fast start, but you want to 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.560 finish fast as well. And I think for him, as 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:36.559 much as we've hammered home that fast art, he also 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:38.679 was like, yeah, let's play a full complete game out there. 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:40.480 How much have we talked about it. I mean, fast 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.360 start is something every team talks about john every year, 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.960 and you want to get it going and see if 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.360 you can do that. But what matters most is what 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.000 Doug was saying yesterday is that we played consistently well 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:52.920 through the course of the game. 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:58.680 Yeah, they didn't start horrifically slow last year. I get 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:00.400 the sense of when they talk about the fast starts, 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.880 it's exactly that they want to see consistency. Obviously, the 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.560 Chargers game was a slow start. You're down twenty seven nothing, 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.360 so it's not necessarily the first drive. So I went 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:12.359 back and looked at this and they weren't down at 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:16.800 halftime all that much out of out of kilter with 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.520 their schedule. But I think they want to not be 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:23.520 trailing by double digits in the second half the season 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.679 so much so I think I think it's going to 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.600 be a completely different offense and a completely different feel 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.760 when this team starts games this year. I don't think 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:34.600 they'll have to worry about a fast start once we 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:35.880 get into two or three weeks to this thing. 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.560 And do you know what, I think, really another way 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.240 of saying it is clean, right. That was what they 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:42.160 were talking about, the coaches and the players before the first, 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.560 not the first, the third preseason game against the Dolphins. 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.520 They want to go out and execute well, not make mistakes, 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.600 not make penalties, not create issues. So I think if 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.760 they're clean, that could be considered a fast start. We 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.880 saw how well that worked against. 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.320 Miami, absolutely, and I think sometimes we don't. We forget 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.280 about the defense, right, So fast start for them is 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.760 not getting the team down by two touchdowns right out 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.080 of the gate. So that's something to consider as well. 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.320 Our second big thing heard from Trevor yesterday, So it's 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.119 a little bit about winning being everything because we talk 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.359 a lot about stats. Obviously, some of them have big 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.480 contracts coming up. Trevor included they're on their last year 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.720 or their dealer, they're looking for extensions, and while they 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:21.760 do that, they really are focused on winning. I know 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:23.520 it's a little bit of a cliche, but when we 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.640 hear from the players and you feel they actually mean it, 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.600 at least when I feel it's very genuine and Trevor 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.280 speaking yesterday saying none of that really matters to them 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:33.240 as long as they get to win. 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.240 Of course, we all want to we all want to 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:37.760 have good stats, and we want to play well. Like 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.920 that's'd be ideal you do that in win the game. 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.880 But when we're talking about guys like you should always 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:45.640 if you win the game, doesn't really matter what your 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.640 stat line is, even if you have one catch, no catches. 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.920 If I, you know, threw a pick through two picks 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.720 and we win, obviously I'm not gonna be happy with 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.640 my performance, but I'm gonna celebrate with the team. I'm 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:56.360 going to be happy we won the game. That's what 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.880 this league's about. It's hard to win. So when you 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.560 find ways to win. You know, that's the cool thing 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.600 about our team is we enjoy it. You know, we 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.200 understand that it's hard to win, and we have that 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:11.000 perspective of it's not really about personal stats individual stats. 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:11.720 It's about the team. 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.600 Obviously. You know Trevor's super unselfish, but John, I feel 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.680 like we see that a lot in the receiver room specifically, 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.400 there's so much talent there. But you really do feel 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.360 like they want each other to be successful. 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:25.919 Yeah. I don't know how. If somebody asked me after 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.440 this show, well, how do you know what you're saying 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:30.760 is true? I don't know if i'd have an answer. 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:36.400 But in talking to these guys, there is a feeling 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:41.240 of commitment to each other and commitment to the cause 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.640 if you will that. Frankly, you don't feel on every team, 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.040 and I think it combines with sort of an energy. 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:51.720 It's still fresh from last year. This all still feels 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:56.000 new and moving up, if that makes any sense. So, yeah, 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.880 it's real. These guys do want numbers, especially the wide 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:03.400 receivers all right, receivers numbers, But within the concept of that, 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.440 it's as team oriented and supportive a group as I've 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:08.119 ever been around. 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.280 They know they're good, right, They understand that this is 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.320 a good team. They also know, JOHNA We've talked about this, 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.279 that they're not likely all to be together for very 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.200 long because of the salary cap and the way that 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.560 it works, and so you just get the sense that 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.120 they understand that there's something special here with this group. 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:27.440 It's not going to say Jones about it yesterday, and 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.440 they understand that there's going to be days where they 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.560 have big games like they did against Dallas last year, 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:33.880 or there'll be a big game where Christian Kirk or 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.800 Evan Ingram comes through. I think they're all willing to 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:38.719 be part of it because they understand that they're a 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.840 good team that can do something special, but only if 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:43.839 they get out of their own way and start not 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.719 caring about who plays well but that the team wins. 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.120 I think what Christian said the other day, I mean interrupt, 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:53.880 but on Monday, when he was asked about Jacksonville, he went, 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.320 you know, for a couple of minutes on just what 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.359 it means to him to be here and chance to 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.200 be a part of this. I have Zay Jones and 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.600 the ozone podcast later on today. I'm gonna skae him 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.039 the same thing. There does more than a lot of 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:12.240 teams I've been around. There's a feeling of guys, even 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.680 beyond being professional football players and getting paid, there's a 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.920 feeling of this is has a chance to be pretty 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:20.480 cool to be a part of this for a while, 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.560 and maybe this is what I'm gonna remember about my career. 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:26.479 I'm going to remember myself as a Jaguar during this time, 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.240 even if I go other places. I think Ingram feels that. 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:33.440 It feels to me like Zay feels that does that's unique. 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.520 And again I don't know how I would prove it, 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:37.360 but you feel it from these guys. 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.680 Well, I'll second it, right. I mean the thirty years 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.920 each of us doing this, I don't know that I've 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.400 ever felt it, but this is a special room. 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.680 And all those guys you mentioned, you know, evan Za, Christian, 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.479 They've played other places where they didn't win and where 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.120 maybe stats were more important, so they know the difference. 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.200 And I think that gives it a little more credence 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:56.760 when you hear them say it, because they've lived the 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.799 other side of that coin, so rings a little more trip. 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.080 All right. A final big thing today is going to 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.840 be everyone's got one because everybody's got an opinion about 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.080 this team. We obviously have shared ours with you, and 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.400 everybody's been hyping them up a little bit more than 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.480 maybe we're used to around here, but Trevor says, they're 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:13.440 not really listening to it. 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.200 Everyone always asks about expectations and how you deal with them, 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:18.720 Like you don't really deal with them, you just don't 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.680 listen to them. Like, what doesn't matter what you know? 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:22.880 This guy said over here, he's not in our locker room. 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:24.160 He's not a part of our team. And even if 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.920 you said something good, we go out and lose Sunday, 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:28.920 everyone's like, oh, I told you they weren't going to 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:30.600 be and agains. It doesn't really matter, you know what 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.520 people say or you know, so we just have to 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.840 keep our ship tight. And I think that's the biggest 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:37.800 thing that coach has done a good job of is 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.840 making sure we do that and managing all those expectations, 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.160 because that's just it's they're not real. It's not a 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.040 real thing. You know. We have to go play every 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.360 Sunday and put our best foot forward. And you can't 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.559 do that if you're listening to what other people are saying. 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.160 They're clearly blocking it all out. Are we at the 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:54.760 point now where we just got to play football? Like 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:56.000 there's just no nothing left to say? 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:57.960 So John, you know this because you've covered some really 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.280 great teams. Great teams don't care about opinions. They don't 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.360 worry about They drive our world here, right, they drive 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:06.360 the media conversation with the fans, but they don't do 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.400 anything on that side of the whole way. When you 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.920 don't have a good team and people's opinion of you 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.280 is not very high, well then you get your dander 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:15.800 up a little bit about it. But when you're good, 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:16.960 you couldn't care less. 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.080 I think Trevor's just happy he didn't lose to Duke. 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.960 Sore spot spot where that's an opinion he might not like. 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:27.400 All right, coming up, we're going to go across the 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.920 sidelines if you will get our Cults Insider here as 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:33.520 we preview Sunday's Game one matchup in Indianapolis. Stay with us. 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.600 Welcome back to jagsam presented by Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville. 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.760 Step up to luxury Fieldsauto dot Com. Welcome back. We're 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:48.400 in the Hyundai studios and going across the sidelines today 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.360 because we're going to check in with our Cults insider 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.920 Michael Chappell, an old friend of John's. We know, thank 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:54.920 you so much for joining us today. We're excited to 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.600 kind of talk to our divisional friends, and check out 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:03.400 what's going on up in India. Michael, What what are 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.120 you looking at? When we always like to see the 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.240 outside perspective? What what have you seen in terms of 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.480 what the Jaguars are bringing to the table this season? 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.920 They seem loaded. I talked I talked to John earlier 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:18.480 in the week, and for so many years no offense Jacksonville. 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.719 But for so many years it was this is the 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.640 year they're gonna get it right. This is the year 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.400 that the pieces are in place, and expectations were high, 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.720 and it didn't happen for whatever reason. I look at 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:33.960 this different because really two reasons. Coach, quarterback, you seem 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.960 to have hit it right on both and you have 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:39.920 you have to have a good coach, but you gotta 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:41.679 have a good quarterback. You've gotta have a quarterback you 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.040 can rely on. Look at all the great teams and 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.720 John and I hereward were in Indy for the Manning years, 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:54.280 and that quarterback makes anything possible. Trailing thirty five to 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.679 fourteen to five minutes to play, you can't win. Well 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.839 he did. So that quarterback gives you chances and as 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:04.079 and you've got young talent, you know, at the skill positions, 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.760 which which again that's when you build a team. Yeah, 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.920 have defensive line, office run, I understand that, but to 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:14.640 have impact players at skill positions or on the edge 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.960 of the defense, that's what gives I think the outside 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:21.120 world reason to believe that they've they've gotten it right 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:21.760 this time. 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.920 When we go up against a rookie quarterback. We just 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:29.760 trying to get your perspective what you hear from Anthony 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.679 Richardson every day. Obviously some of the Florida fans down 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:34.320 here are a little bit familiar with him, but he 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.960 didn't play you know, a ton of snaps in college. 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.400 So what have you guys seen from him so far? 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.320 And is he ready to go for Sunday? 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:46.160 Well, we'll see. I mean, it's history is not kind 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.839 to rookie quarterbacks. I think Colt's rookies are like thirty 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:53.040 five percent winning percentage for their you know, as a rookie. 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.400 In one stat that sort of tells you the history 0:10:56.480 --> 0:11:02.000 is this team's had one rookie quarterback win the season opener, 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.160 and that was George Shaw in nineteen fifty five. So 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.800 you know, it doesn't happen often. But from what you've 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:14.640 seen individually or personally. You like the temperament. He's very 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.560 well grounded. He moved his family up here, family and 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.280 invited us up here because he knew he needed, you know, 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:24.480 that foundation around him. But it's not too big for 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:28.160 him coming from Gainesville in that atmosphere. I mean, he 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.160 was exposed, even though it was a fear, he was 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.840 exposed to that. On the field, we'll see he's sort 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:38.800 of been what we all thought he's been. This isn't 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.959 Peyton Manning coming in here and the ball never hitting 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.600 the ground in practice and he just looks like he 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.480 owned the team. Not quite the same. You know, he 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.080 was a fifty three percent passer in college. Well that's 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.120 what we've seen. We've seen the inaccuracies, we've seen the 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.599 strong arm, we've seen snippets of the leg, what he 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.440 can do with in the run game. But you don't 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.600 do all of that in preseason. And it's hard to 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:06.120 early tell in camp because you're not taking guys to 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:11.040 the ground. But but what what he does, he gives 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:16.520 them hope and to have that after going through this 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:21.160 cycle of you know, Carson Wentz and Matt Ryan and 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:25.440 Philip Rivers and Kobe were setting on and on the 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:29.760 franchise needs hope, it needs it needs a direction sort 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.760 of what Trevor Lawrence gave you guys last year or 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:37.360 two years ago. When you've got the young quarterback, now 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.560 you've got to be right. If you're not right, you're 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:43.320 setting back another six to eight years. But we have 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.840 seen things to say, you know, maybe maybe this is 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.040 the right guy, and if he is, this can work. 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.120 If not, it's going to be a long haul getting 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:54.440 back to being competitive, Chap. 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.120 Is it too extreme to say that this team goes 0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:00.800 from a great running team to a so so running 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.199 team without Jonathan Taylor? And will he ever play for 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:03.800 the Colts again? 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.880 Two good questions people up here, people are nationally they said, well, 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:10.880 you know, he's just another guy. No, he's a great 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.320 running back. He's top I know, I think top three, 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.880 and we can argue that. But to think that they're 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.320 going to go from you know, one of the top 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.240 two or three running teams in the league to staying 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:27.960 the same without him is ridiculous. I mean, Jacksonville's defensive coordinator, 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.040 you think when they look at the Colts this week, 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:31.440 they're saying, you know, we got to pay attention to 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.800 that running back. No, they're saying quarterback when he gets 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.960 on the edge its quarterback. Will you ever play here? 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:43.040 I don't know. I want to say yes because I 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.240 need someone to tell me how it behooves anybody to 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.760 sit out a season, and if he's on pup all year, 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:53.160 the contract calls and here we are again. So I 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:57.319 kind of thought they would have I guess this dumping 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.960 before rosters were when they had that self imposed deadline 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.560 and just get what you could. Maybe they still do, 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.880 you know, I mean the trade deadlines watched October thirty first, 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.920 that can still happen. I think it's very, very risky 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.280 no matter what quality of employee you have, and this 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:20.640 is this is a great level employee. But just make 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.000 him work for you, you know, no, you know you 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.360 signed a contract and you're gonna play for us, or 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:29.240 you're not gonna play. The team has deliveries that they do, 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:35.040 but it's not very healthy to force somebody to work 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:36.560 for you. And that's kind of where they're going to 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.240 be in a couple of weeks when he comes off up, 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:39.280 if he comes off. 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:40.120 Up, Mike. 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.440 A couple of years ago, not too long ago, the 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:46.200 Colts offensive line was a dominant force. Easy to say, 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.200 maybe the second or best, third best. 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:48.640 In the league. 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:50.360 Last year they fell off. 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.880 Why now that you look back at it, and do 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.120 they have the ability to return to that level since 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:57.880 so many of those players are still around. 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:00.760 Well, it's the same group that finished season, the same 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.760 starting five that gave up sixty sacks last year. They 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.200 miscalculated at left tackle. 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:08.320 Uh. 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.440 They went with Matt Pryor, who had never been a 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:15.040 full time left tackle anywhere, and with Danny penn Or 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.760 at right guard, and neither one worked. Both were binge 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.800 before too long. And then I left tackle. They went 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:24.840 with Bernard Ryman, a rookie who wasn't ready. He just 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:29.040 wasn't ready. So that's that. That was a failing on 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.720 their part, and they paid the price. The quarterbacks paid 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.520 the price, the offense paid the price. They're they're anticipating 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.040 Bernard Ryman really stepping up in a year two. And 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.240 I'll tell you the best compliment I can give him 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:45.160 from training camp is we never noticed him, which you know, 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:46.800 it's kind of like the umpire. If he didn't knows them, 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.200 they did a good job and that that's he's played well. 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.800 He'll get tested this week obviously, but there then they're 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:56.680 expecting that those cornerstones Quentin Nelson, Ryan Kelly and Braden 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.840 Smith to have bounce back years. That's fine, it's just 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:04.760 there's but there's not much proven depth behind them. They 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.280 lose Danny Penner to an ankle injury for the season, 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.800 and that's a major loss. And as good as he's 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:14.080 been at times, you shouldn't say, boy, we really missed 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:18.760 this guy. But the depth is very questionable. And I 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:22.400 think it was in twenty nineteen all starters played sixteen games. 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.280 Well that that happens like once every twenty years, so 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.160 they're gonna need depth. I think the line will be better. 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:32.000 I really do that much better. We'll see again. Losing 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:36.000 Taylor doesn't help. It just doesn't help. But I think 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.640 I think the line, whatever their problems are this year, 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.520 and there will be problems, I don't think the line 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.000 will be top three in problems. I really don't. 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:45.920 How do the Colts win Sunday? Mit? 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:52.640 Oh boy uh. I'd pull out the Dean Smith's for 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.640 a corner and try to shorten the game as much 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.720 as I could. They can't get in a shootout in 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:04.400 Jacksonville's They're just loaded offensively with with skilled people that somebody, 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:07.359 somebody is gonna be on. I mean, whether it's one 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.679 or two guys or whatever. This is. This is a 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:14.000 very mismatched defense right now. Young corners, young secondary and 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:19.440 very good front seven. But don't turn the ball over. 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.200 Find a way to run the ball, make plays when 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:25.280 you have to, but do not under any circumstances getting 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.040 in the get in the shoe. That with Trevor Lawrence. 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.199 All right, Michael, thank you. If anybody knows, we know 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.239 that things can turn around quickly as they did here 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:33.640 in Jacksonville, so we wish the same for you. We'll 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:36.800 see you on Sunday in Indian Thank you for joining us. 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.800 Coming up later, thank you. All right, later on we're 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:41.439 gonna go over He will, he won't. He might as 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:43.359 we have our picks for Sunday's matchups. To stay with 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:48.680 us while we're back. Setteth this Florida's trusted and reliable 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.040 moving company. Setteth is proud to be the official moving 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.760 partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. To get a guarantee quote, 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.919 visit suttith dot com slash jacks. All Right, Suteth is 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:00.520 presenting he will He won't. He might for us this 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.040 week as he walks ahead and pick our players of 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:04.760 the game and what we think they're gonna do. So, Brian, 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:05.680 who did you pick this seak? 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.200 I'm going with Tyson Campbell and he will shut down 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:12.480 Pittman or Pierce or whoever lines up across here. They'll 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.520 have some catches, but they won't be game changing sorts 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.119 of catches. And it's easier to say obviously this week 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.400 because you're not sure that the quarterback can make those 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:24.240 games changing kind of throws. He will not, will not 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:26.960 allow anything to get behind him. Remember last year, the 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:28.760 Jaguars had the lead in this ball game with two 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.720 minutes to play and Chack Griffin let everything get behind 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.159 him and cost them to win. And I think he 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:37.760 might end the season john as a top five corner 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:40.359 in the AFC. You think about Sauce Gardner and Pats 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.720 er Tan and Marlon Humphrey, I think he fits right 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.479 in there. People are gonna point to Jalen Ramsey in Miami, 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:49.000 although he probably won't play this year until it's too 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:50.880 late to be a factor in this thing. I think 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:53.440 Tyson Campbell, based on what we've seen from him both 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.400 last year and then training camp in preseason this year, 0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:59.600 I think he is poised to join the conversation as 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:01.560 one of the best young corners in the AFC. 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:05.480 Well, yeah, I think he's definitely got that. I think 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:07.880 he's right on the outside of that. If he's even 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:09.240 on the outside of that right now. But I think 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:10.560 I think he'd be in the conversation. 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.800 And but Sir Tan Gardner the two he joins, right Luffer, 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:16.679 he's been around for a couple of years, and obviously 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.239 Jalen has two. But Sir Tan and Gardner the two 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:21.280 there one point two and say they're the best young 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:24.600 corners in football. And I think Tyson Kimbell belongs right there. 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:29.800 Yeah, I agree. I went with Travis etn he will 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:34.199 be ready, and obviously they're all ready. But didn't you 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:39.720 guys watching this preseason get an idea the entire offense 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:44.520 is this way, but that Travis's is just ready to roll. 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:46.320 And as one of these guys who in his third year 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.240 is saying, Okay, now I can really show what I am, 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.080 and I think what he is is gonna be really special. 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:56.280 He won't although Doug Peterson said it during the preseason, 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:59.760
