1
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: Welcome into tag Xam. I'm Kinnanni Stephens, Brian Sexton, and

2
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: John Osier with me this morning as the pre season

3
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: now behind us. Wrapped up preseason game number three on

4
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 1: Saturday in Miami, and we'll talk a little bit about that,

5
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: but we'll also look ahead two week one against the

6
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: Panthers and cut down Day is coming up on Tuesday,

7
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: So we'll start out with big things. Big thing number

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: one is return to sender.

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: Brian.

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: I thought we were going to have some decisions to

11
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: make about offensive line, but Fred Johnson heading back to

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: Philadelphia seventh round pick coming here.

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: Smart move, Yeah, I think so.

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 4: Look, we saw during training camp that Chuma Adoga could

15
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 4: go out and play right tackle, and we saw Patrick

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 4: McCurry in the Saints game play a little bit of

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 4: right tackle. Besides that, we've seen both of those guys

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 4: at some point their crew playing on the left side.

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 4: And Anton Harrison is a guy who can play in

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 4: multiple positions. And you've got Cole van landon w hoop

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 4: you hope to get back at some point this season

22
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 4: as well, so you know they have a bit of

23
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 4: depth at offensive tackle and all the versatility that they

24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 4: talked about creating came through with those two free.

25
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 3: Agents, particular Idoga and McCarry. John.

26
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, this really became a case where they realistically were

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 5: not going to be able to get him on the

28
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 5: fifty three comfortably. They like Wyatt Myland, they like Genna Manheim.

29
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 5: As Brian said, they feel like they've gotten debt, and

30
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 5: they feel like they've got guys who can snap everywhere inside.

31
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 2: They feel like they have their swinging tackle.

32
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 5: So it became a case where how are you going

33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 5: to make the fifty three work the game they were

34
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 5: and unfortunately for Fred Johns, he didn't fit in. But

35
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 5: they've made a couple of good trades to get some

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 5: value for guys who weren't going to be around in

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 5: the last week or so.

38
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 4: And you mentioned that he didn't fit in. It's funny

39
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 4: I thought maybe John he was the biggest human being

40
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 4: we've ever had a Turney camp here. I mean literally,

41
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 4: if I didn't even I was just playing off of that.

42
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you look, as we look at this roster going forward,

43
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: we know they made that trade with the Saints as well.

44
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit about roster decisions coming up.

45
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: But big thing number two, that's a rap the preseason

46
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: behind us. Now they played in Miami, some players played

47
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: in Miami, but over all Liam Collen talked about the

48
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: improvement he's geen over the preseason.

49
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 6: You still gotta continue to get better. There's no doubt

50
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 6: we We cannot waste a single moment, second minute, practice,

51
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 6: walk through, meeting, cannot be wasted. We need to improve

52
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 6: in from now until Carolina. There needs to be continued improvement.

53
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 6: But I am proud of of of this team in

54
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 6: the way that they compete, the physicality in which they

55
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 6: play with. I think we can if we can start

56
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 6: there and have that as a standard that continues to

57
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 6: show up every time we compete. Uh, I'll live with that.

58
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: John. Not a ton to talk about in terms of

59
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: the game, uh against the Dolphins, because thirty six players

60
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: did not dress for the Jaguars as opposed to what

61
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins put out there. They had their starters going

62
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: for a little bit. But it was encouraging to see

63
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: the defense early on against the Dolphins starters and just

64
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: kind of that continued progress, cause you want it on

65
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: all parts of the roster, not just the starters.

66
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 5: Guess aw, what Liam said after was interesting about playing

67
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 5: with the physicality.

68
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: There's so little we all know that.

69
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 5: On September seventh, everything that we've seen the first three games,

70
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 5: all of a sudden just sort of drifts into nothingness

71
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 5: and you forget it all. But I do feel like

72
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 5: Liam likes that physical tone. I feel like he does

73
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 5: like the way this team plays, So maybe they've established

74
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 5: something in that regard. And I do think how the

75
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 5: front seven played against the Dolphins first team was impressive

76
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 5: and encouraging. Mason Smith was out there, Uh, there were

77
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 5: some guys uh, Danny Strigo, Uh, I certain guys who

78
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 5: are going to be around here who are starting to

79
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 5: push up into that world of us known about. So

80
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 5: I thought that first part was more intriguing than I

81
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 5: thought it would be.

82
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: Brian, I don't know if it's gonna translate to anything.

83
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 5: They don't how many guys you're gonna be playing, But

84
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 5: it felt good and it felt like it mattered somehow.

85
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 4: You know, John in that last SoundBite that we heard

86
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 4: from Lee and he used the word standard, right, that's

87
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 4: what leaders do. They established the standard, and he's been

88
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: working to build the standard. And he just said it's

89
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 4: about playing hard and getting better every single time they

90
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 4: take the grass and they did. Those young guys out there,

91
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 4: as you both have mentioned. On offense, Jaquinna Jackson ran

92
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: really hard and Kevin Harris, who just came in last week,

93
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 4: showed you something as well. The offensive line jumped off

94
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 4: sides a little too often, but they did create some

95
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 4: holes in the running game. On defense, there are so

96
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 4: many names to talk about guys who are competing for

97
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 4: the roster. You mentioned Danny striggu and bj Green, right,

98
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 4: Jordan Jefferson and Tyler Lacy, and these guys all showed

99
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 4: up to play and they didn't end up stuffing the Dolphins.

100
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 4: Eventually they got it going, but those first two drives

101
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 4: they made them, you know, three and out. So it

102
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 4: was encouraging to see the second team, the third team

103
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: guys showing that they had gotten better. And if that's

104
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 4: the standard that the coach believes in and that's the

105
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 4: one he set, then mission accomplished at least through the preseason.

106
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: Our final big thing today is going to be cut Day,

107
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: which is tomorrow at four pm, and head coach William

108
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: Cohen talked about his first cut day as a head coach.

109
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 6: You know, so many of these guys, like I told

110
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 6: him last night are been a part of creating our

111
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 6: edge and who we are as a team, and so

112
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 6: those decisions aren't easy at all, especially as a young

113
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 6: coach doing it for the first time. Really, those conversations

114
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 6: aren't easy, The decisions aren't easy, But I think I

115
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 6: believe some guys probably helped themselves out tonight in some ways,

116
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 6: whether it's for our team or somebody else's team. Ultimately,

117
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 6: you want to help guys continue to further their dreams

118
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 6: as well as obviously make our roster as competitive as

119
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 6: it can be.

120
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: Some decisions to.

121
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: Be made today, Brian, we talked a little bit about

122
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: the O line. Decisions might be a little bit easier

123
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: after moving Fred Johnson back to Philadelphia. But any surprises ahead,

124
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: do you think? Or just have to wait and see.

125
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 4: You know, I don't think the initial roster will surprise

126
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 4: a lot of people, But maybe in the days ahead, John,

127
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 4: as players start to become available, guys that other teams

128
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 4: let go that these guys like, then you might see

129
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 4: some you.

130
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 3: Know, John and I were talking before the show.

131
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 4: You know, there's some positions where you'd like to get

132
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 4: better and where you've got a lot of numbers. Safety's

133
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 4: one in particular where there's five or six guys that

134
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 4: you can make the case for having an impact being

135
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 4: on the roster and you could only end up with

136
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 4: four of those or three if there's someone else that

137
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 4: they like.

138
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a meazing a couple of days because I

139
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 5: do think they're going to be active, maybe a receiver,

140
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 5: maybe a couple other positions where they just feel like

141
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 5: that final roster spot.

142
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: It needs to be upgraded. It's gonna be an interesting couple.

143
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 5: Of days at As Brian said, safety corner linebacker, I'm intrigued.

144
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: I'm intrigued.

145
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued to stay with us here on jag Zam.

146
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna go over that roster and tell you what

147
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: we think some of those decisions might be. This school.

148
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: That's this school that.

149
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: Welcome back to jag Zam. Cut day is tomorrow. They're

150
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: gonna get this roster down to fifty three people. So

151
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna do a little this or that. When we

152
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: talk about it. We don't know what's gonna be done.

153
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: We've been around, so we're gonna make some educated guesses.

154
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: First one's gonna be about wide receiver. Are they gonna

155
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: keep six and or do you think they'll kind of

156
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: keep five check to waiver wire maybe add to that, John,

157
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: I know that was something you mentioned was a possibility.

158
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: Obviously we heard through the U through the grape vine

159
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: from the Broncos that they were kind of looking at

160
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: their receiver at one point, So is that a focus.

161
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 5: I think they keep five, and then I think the

162
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 5: four that we all know are very very solid.

163
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: Right beyond that, I.

164
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 5: Want to clarify a lot of these guys were talking

165
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 5: about being cut are still gonna be around, right, Yeah,

166
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 5: And that's the big change in the last maybe ten years, Brian,

167
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 5: when there were six practice squad guys, these cuts meant

168
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 5: everybody was gone r Right. Now you've got sixteen practice

169
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 5: squad guys. So a lot of these guys that we

170
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 5: were saying, oh, that gonna be around.

171
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: So I think uh Irwin Trammel, guys like that could

172
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: be around. Maybe not on the fifty three.

173
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 5: I think they feel good about those guys, but I

174
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 5: think they're also guys that if if you release, they

175
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 5: may fit better here and be part of this as

176
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 5: sort of that periphery getting onto the roster three or

177
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 5: four times during the year guy. So I think they

178
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 5: keep five and starts of way, you know, for the fifth, right,

179
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 5: I think that they would like to keep five.

180
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 4: And I think Trammel's a guy that you have a

181
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 4: real hard time getting rid of because all he's done

182
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 4: is make place for you. But he's been on and

183
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 4: off your practice squad, so perhaps that's where he goes.

184
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 4: But what they really would like is a bigger bodied

185
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 4: guy that fifth receiver, to be someone who can help

186
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 4: heath and special teams, but also be the possession guy

187
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 4: who gets to the sticks and gets you forward. And

188
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 4: I think that was trenton Irwin's job to earn. But

189
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 4: I don't think he's clarified it right, and I don't

190
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 4: think he gives you enough on special teams necessarily to

191
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 4: be able to say, well, that's his spot.

192
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 3: So five.

193
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 4: If they love Trammel, and I know they like him,

194
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 4: and Bucky and I talked a lot about it on

195
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 4: Saturday night.

196
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 3: Maybe six maybe six?

197
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: All right?

198
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: Another crowded a room, the running backs room. Is it

199
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: possible to keep four running backs on this roster? Not

200
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: necessarily dressing, but can Yeah.

201
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: They'll keep four.

202
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 5: I'd be stunned if they don't keep four, because they

203
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 5: love l Quinn Allen and they're not cutting him, and

204
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 5: I think he's going to be active. He does so

205
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 5: many things. Well, so yeah, you can keep four. Now

206
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 5: can they get four active on game day?

207
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: That's really really hard to get?

208
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 3: Well, making a bit easier.

209
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 4: The coach told us on Friday in the production meeting

210
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 4: that Basil Tuton has become much more effective, much more

211
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 4: versed in special teams. It has improved, and so he's

212
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 4: a guy that you can have active on game day

213
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 4: for special teams. Now, at some point he's gonna be

214
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 4: the lead guy and not play special teams. But early on,

215
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 4: if he's not going to get the bulk of the carries,

216
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 4: he could still be active because of teams.

217
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: Is a trade of possibility? Or is that? Is there

218
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: not enough value out a running back position to get

219
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: much for that? Do you think they'll just keep everybody

220
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: they have.

221
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: It's always possible.

222
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 5: But if you listen to Liam talk about running backs

223
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 5: over a seventeen game season, if you keep three over

224
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 5: a seventeen game season, one of those guys isn't gonna

225
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 5: be available.

226
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: For you for three or four weeks.

227
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 5: If you keep three, you're gonna have a situation at

228
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 5: some point in week nine where you have two, and

229
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 5: I don't think they want that.

230
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: So look, sometimes, Brian.

231
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 5: When you've got a lot of good players at one position,

232
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 5: you have to figure out a way to keep good players.

233
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 5: And so I think they may keep that there, maybe

234
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 5: use the Travis Hunter lever, whatever that mean, meaning one

235
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 5: of those positions you don't have to have five because

236
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 5: you have Travis. Maybe they cheated a little bit, you know,

237
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 5: in their numbers by doing that.

238
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 4: I thought Ryan O'Halleran was ten days ago rode a

239
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 4: really compelling column about could you trade Tank Pixby. You're

240
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 4: not gonna trade either the rookies obviously, and you can't

241
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 4: really trade Travis etn because he's playing with a six million.

242
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 3: Dollar you know, fifth year option.

243
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 4: So then you have to decide, well, I mean, is

244
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 4: what I'm going to get back worthy of what Tank is?

245
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 3: And I think Tank's had a really.

246
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 4: Good camp and he's different in that he is a

247
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 4: guy who could play with power and he's got that

248
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 4: big play, explosive potential. He showed us in the game

249
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 4: against New Orleans, you know, just like he had last

250
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 4: year against Houston.

251
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: He's got the ability to do that.

252
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 4: So I don't know why you trade any of these

253
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 4: four guys, because all of them can help you win

254
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 4: this year.

255
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 3: Why send them away and have them help someone else?

256
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're not gonna get much back, I think

257
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: that's a very smart move. So potentially four running backs

258
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: on this roster. And then as we look ahead to

259
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: tough cuts, this was before we had the Fred Johnson trade.

260
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: So what do you think the toughest group to cut

261
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: down is going to be? Obviously I had my eyes

262
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: on safety. I think offensive line at one point would

263
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: have been a little more difficult. Brian, what do you

264
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: think the toughest position to get down on the cuts

265
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:45,599
Speaker 1: will be?

266
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 4: Todd, I think you hit it with safety because you

267
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 4: know you've got your four. You've got Eric Murray obviously

268
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 4: in Dewey winger that you think very highly of, and

269
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 4: Antonio Johnson's has become a special teams guy. And here's

270
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 4: where it becomes interesting. Daniel Thomas has been one of

271
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 4: the best special teams players on this team for a

272
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 4: number of years now, and Keith has a lot of

273
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 4: confidence in him. But they drafted Rayon Lane to play

274
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 4: special teams as well. So you've just you've got a

275
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 4: bunch of guys, and it's not a position where you

276
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 4: normally keep five, so you don't keep six.

277
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: Safety, and I mean, we already covered the one.

278
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 5: I think running back is the toughest because you've got

279
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 5: four guys there who they know can play in the

280
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 5: NFL and play at what they would think of as

281
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 5: a winning level. The safety, for the reasons Brian mentioned

282
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 5: safety is going to be a tough cut.

283
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: And I think Daniel Thomas makes it particularly tough because

284
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 2: he's such a good special.

285
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 4: Teams play and we're looking at video of Darnel Savage

286
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 4: and even mentioned him, and he's got a cap number

287
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 4: that's pretty sizable this year.

288
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 3: And the Jaggers already have more.

289
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 4: Than fifty million in dead money, So that kind of

290
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 4: makes you lean into how much more dead money do

291
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 4: we want.

292
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: Different groups to keep an eye on that. Decisions will

293
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: be made tomorrow by four. Stay with us, though, we

294
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: got some hot takes coming up about start a season.

295
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Jack Exam Hot Takes today, brought to

296
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: you by Firehouse Subs. The preseason is behind us. We

297
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: get real football very very soon. September seventh, first game

298
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: a season against the Panthers and kind of a wrap

299
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: up of the trading camp season. We don't always put

300
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: a ton into the preseason games specifically, but as a whole, Brian,

301
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: what's your hot taker, what's your takeaway from this time?

302
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 4: Well, we thought that we would see dramatic improvement in

303
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 4: the Jaguars running game. It was an area of need.

304
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: It's what Liam Cohen did so very effectively last year

305
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 4: in Tampa, and we've seen it on the practice field

306
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 4: and I in particular have been beating that drum talking

307
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 4: about what it means for the quarterback and you've written

308
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 4: about it.

309
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 3: John. However, in getting to know Anthony KEMPINELI a little.

310
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 4: Better and seeing how his team has gotten from the

311
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 4: first preseason game to the third preseason game and shown

312
00:14:55,160 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 4: improvement in almost every respect sacks, not takeaways, but really

313
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 4: effective football, I think that this defense could be as bigger,

314
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 4: bigger story than the running game by the time we

315
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 4: get to the end of the year. In particular because

316
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 4: Campanialy talked on Friday in the television production meeting about

317
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 4: people overplays and the culture that he was trying to

318
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 4: build in the room, about self sacrifice, about caring for

319
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 4: the guy next to you, and that all it sounds

320
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 4: good and it doesn't necessarily mean anything. But we saw

321
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 4: the threes John out there, and you had Strigau and

322
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 4: Green who were fighting against each other, but each guy

323
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 4: got a sack and they were celebrating with one another.

324
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 4: Right you had Tyler Lacy and Jordan Jefferson, yusirab Doula

325
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 4: and Dennis Gardak. I mean, these guys were in a

326
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 4: position where they were playing for their football lives because

327
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 4: those were the battles that were identified to us, and

328
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 4: they came through and played really well. And I just

329
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 4: think that this defense and its culture of people over

330
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 4: plays has created a tighter knit group that cares about

331
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 4: each other. And he said to us, if you don't

332
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 4: care about each other, you don't really have much of

333
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 4: a chance, and these guys really do. You saw the

334
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 4: veteran players on the sideline, you know, who were locked

335
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 4: in Andrew Andrew Wingard said to us after the game

336
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 4: that he spent the whole game watching the young guys

337
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 4: and was proud of them.

338
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 3: So there's something to that.

339
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 4: And I think this defense might be as big a

340
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 4: story in terms of its improvement as the running game.

341
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think there's a lot to that because I

342
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 5: think they're gonna believe in the direction defensively all season,

343
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 5: and it's clear from the comments that they've made in

344
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 5: the offseason that wasn't quite the case last year.

345
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 2: That's a big deal on defense.

346
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 5: Interestingly, on defense, I think a few guys are really key.

347
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 5: It's hard to judge any of this right because we

348
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 5: really only saw the first team for three series, So

349
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 5: how do we get a real feel for what they're

350
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 5: gonna show?

351
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: And Gardeck is really really.

352
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 5: Interesting in the pass rush because he can give them something.

353
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 5: And it's silly to say Travis Hunter has been overlooked,

354
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 5: but I haven't talked about him a whole lot on defense.

355
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: If he and Jordan Lewis.

356
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 5: Are this sort of takeaway guys that they've shown at times,

357
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 5: Travis in his career and Jordan Lewis out here and

358
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 5: they're starting all of a sudden, you've got some elements

359
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 5: that can.

360
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: Disrupt the opposing offense.

361
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 5: So I think those guys get real interesting once they're

362
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 5: playing the entire game.

363
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: I went the other direction. I went with offense.

364
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 5: When Liam Cohen was talking after the game the other night,

365
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 5: somethings just struck me of we haven't.

366
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: Seen this guy game plan. Yet.

367
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 5: We know he's got tools, we know he's got four

368
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 5: running backs that he likes, we know he's got wide receivers.

369
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 5: But you don't game plan during the preseason. And this

370
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 5: guy is a play caller. We've seen situations on the

371
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 5: practice field where he has schemed guys open. I don't

372
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 5: know if this is going to be a great, elite,

373
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 5: top five offense, yet this year, I do believe that

374
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 5: there's going to be a lot more big plays, a

375
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 5: lot more explosives, Liam creating opportunities for these really fast guys.

376
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 5: To me, Brian, a marginal uptake in short yardage running

377
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 5: coupled with what nine more explosive plays in a season

378
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 5: gives you one every other game. How much of a

379
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 5: difference with that in mate last year if you get

380
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 5: seven more points in five games.

381
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 2: So that's what I always look for.

382
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 5: How how can you improve that element? Is the thing

383
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 5: that we haven't seen yet that I'm intrigued when the

384
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 5: season starts.

385
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 4: And since you're talking about intrigue improvement in the short

386
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 4: yard is running game as we've seen, isn't just gonna

387
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 4: be lining up and running through the A gaps right

388
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 4: and blocking better or hitting the right hole. They're gonna

389
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 4: use the jet sweeps, they're gonna use the quick screen game,

390
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 4: they're gonna use slants. I mean, they're gonna find a

391
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 4: lot of different ways to keep the offense on the field.

392
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 4: And we've seen the last couple of years the offense

393
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 4: has been so ineffective on third down. We've never gotten

394
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 4: to see a rhythm, you know, anything that the coach

395
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 4: could get into the third and fourth segments of his playbook.

396
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 4: He was always in the first segment because you had

397
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 4: to do the fundamentals right, and they didn't.

398
00:18:58,840 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 3: So I'm excited to see that too.

399
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: You too.

400
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna build off a little bit of what John

401
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: was talking about with the offense because I said, how

402
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: about a hot start, because why not, let's think positive.

403
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: I've got my teel colored glasses on. I'm gonna think

404
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: positive about this because I think sometimes it's a benefit

405
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: when people don't know what you're gonna bring out there.

406
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: Because we don't know what we're gonna see. The opponents

407
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: don't know what they're gonna see. So I think the

408
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: Jaguars are gonna start out hot. The Panthers, I think

409
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: they get a win the Bengals always start slow, so

410
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be optimistic and go with a little three

411
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: and one to start the season.

412
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 3: Is my almost the last time.

413
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 4: It's been a long time around here since we've seen

414
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 4: a hot start, a fast start for a Jaguars team.

415
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: And it's hot weather here, so why not have a

416
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: hot start? That's what I'm going with. But I'm just

417
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: going with the John what we're talking about. We don't

418
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: know what we're gonna see yet, right, They don't know

419
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 1: what they're gonna see out of the Jaguars, So let's

420
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: think positive.

421
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 5: Yeah again. The next couple of weeks and No answered

422
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 5: a lot of his own questions.

423
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 2: What do you think? What do you think?

424
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 5: It's so hard because even after pre season now and

425
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 5: you only see three series. Okay, we saw a little

426
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 5: bit I like first team offense, I like we saw

427
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 5: at Trevor, but we didn't see any skiming.

428
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 2: So what's it gonna look like?

429
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 5: And it's gonna be fun the first few weeks to

430
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 5: see what this looks like.

431
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: Something will happen. Yep, we'll be here to see it.

432
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: Stay with us. We'll tell you what's coming up. The

433
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: rest of the week before the start of the season.

434
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 2: Jagsvams.

Speaker 3: I feel good.

439
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 7: I think are the work we've put in will show

440
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 7: during the season. The work we put in during camp.

441
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 7: Today wasn't our best showing. But you know, Grant made

442
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 7: a great point to the quarterbacks after practice. At the

443
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 7: end of the day, we're not going to be judged

444
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 7: on how today went. You know that this is just today,

445
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 7: and you put it in a box, you learn from it,

446
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 7: you move on. That doesn't determine what we do in

447
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 7: week one versus Carolina, just like tomorrow won't determine I start,

448
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 7: what we do in Carolina. It's just an accumulation of

449
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 7: all the days and take all the information and learning

450
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 7: from it, growing from it and understanding that it's all

451
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 7: making us better to get.

452
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 3: Us to a place to where My Week one or

453
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 3: way to.

454
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: Go was Trevor Lawrence after joined practice in Miami. The

455
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: last week saw of him for training camp because he

456
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: didn't play in that final preseason game. But we're talking

457
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: about Liam Collen what to expect from him. We need

458
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: to see more out of Trevor this season.

459
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be a fascinating storyline.

460
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 5: Early I thought There's been a lot of times during

461
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 5: training camp, Brian where I liked what I saw from Trevor.

462
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 5: There were other times, such as Thursday, where he was

463
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 5: the first to admit too sloppy. Realistically, it makes sense

464
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 5: that there would still be growing pains in a new offense,

465
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 5: with new footwork, etc.

466
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 2: I feel like he's going to.

467
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 5: Start off at a solid level, and I'm curious to

468
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 5: see when solid can turn into spectacular.

469
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 2: But that's the storyline for the first six weeks.

470
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, he sounded like a coach there. I mean talking

471
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 4: about a growth mindset. I appreciated that I hadn't heard

472
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 4: that from him in recent years. It always felt like

473
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 4: he was regurgitating what the coaches had talked to him about,

474
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 4: and this time he was explaining it in greater detail.

475
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 4: I asked him on Friday about his leadership because I

476
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 4: I've seen and I've heard a different Trevor Lawrence this year,

477
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 4: and he said that Liam's program, the way that Liam

478
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 4: handles things, has allowed him to step up and to

479
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 4: be more of a leader, still retaining his own individual

480
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 4: qualities because he's never going.

481
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 3: To be a loud mouth.

482
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 4: But he really appreciates the position he's in to rise

483
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 4: to the challenge that Liam gave him to be the quarterback,

484
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 4: to be the guy that leads this team, and I've

485
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 4: seen it from him consistently in August. It was great

486
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 4: to hear him say that in that SoundBite, and then

487
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 4: even more to tell us that he really believed that

488
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 4: Liam was setting the table for him to do it.

489
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 3: Yep.

490
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: I think the setup is there. It'll be his to

491
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: take advantage of cut down days tomorrow. We're not going

492
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: to be here for that. Well, we'll be in the building.

493
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: Excuse me. Our show's not back for the rest of

494
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: this week, so we'll talk about this when we get

495
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: back and kind of get into Week one action next week.

496
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: But I think it's fair to expect for fans that

497
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: there might be some waiverwire moves. Whatever the roster is

498
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: on Tuesday might not be the roster by next week.

499
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: I think point on that.

500
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: So we'll keep an eye on that and we will

501
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: see you next week. Enjoy your last weekend free of

502
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: NFL football. But then we'll be back for the real

503
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: deal in Week one,
