1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Is the run defense as good as it appears in

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: pre season? Now? What's the regular season? Is it for real?

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: Is it actually as improved as it looks to be?

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to Jaguars Reporters, presented by t I A A

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: Bank with Brian Sexton, John Osher, Ashlyn Sullivan, and J. P.

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: Shad Presended by t I A A Bank starts right now.

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to Jaguars Reporters. Today is Tuesday, September seven, and

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: Week one is here. J P. Shadrick Ashland Sullivan, John Osier,

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: Brian Sexton planted to get to today including the biggest

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: question mark for this team going into week one. We'll

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: all answer that question coming up in just a little bit.

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: First off, Ashlands, finally game week after a long off season,

13
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: training camp, preseason, it's all in the rear view now

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: finally it's real. And we joke every week is a

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: must win. But I don't know about you guys, but

16
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: it feels like like we said the Dallas how Boys

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: third preseason game was a must win. We never call

18
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: preseason games must wins. This just seems like you need

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: that win, you need that confidence to believe in the

20
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: team message. I know we don't say must wins, but

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: this week sure feels like one. Well, and then if

22
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: they lose, you know a week two is must and

23
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,919
Speaker 1: then week three must win. I mean, I get the point.

24
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: I also look back on the Jaguars beat the colt

25
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: in a Week one last year, so exactly, everything is immediate,

26
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: everything is urgent. It would be big and they have to.

27
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: I think they need to get a couple of wins

28
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: in that first four. I don't think this is a

29
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: playoff team. I think to achieve what they want to achieve,

30
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: I think you need to win a few of the

31
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: next four. I just can't go must win. I just

32
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: can't do it. No, No, you look, you can look

33
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: at the schedule and see where you have. You have

34
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: a Houston team, Broncos team who has a very good defense,

35
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: but they're unsettled at quarterback, and and I think You're

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: zone is a really good team. But then you know,

37
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: since he's coming back, and I they they've set this

38
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: thing up for this team to have a little success

39
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: early and then hopefully have some success late because that

40
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: seven games stretch, he's gonna be hard. It's a like

41
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: to win. But here's another reason why you'd like to win.

42
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: They've lost fifteen in a row, and no one's going

43
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: to put this on this team unless they lose sixteen

44
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: in a row. Right If if you're at sixteen in

45
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: a row, then guess what everyone's riding. The Jaguars have

46
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: lost sixteen in a row. Until you finally break it.

47
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: They're going to carry it. It's not their burden because

48
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: it was last year's team, but if they don't win

49
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: an opening day, it becomes their burden. Irban Meyer spoke

50
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: Monday in a press conference, and you know, if he

51
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: wasn't nervous before Ashland's comment there about having the must

52
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 1: win more nervous, he said, right, he said he wasn't

53
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 1: you know, nervous yet, but it would get there. It's

54
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: you know, I'm guessing just the way he's talked about

55
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: his preparation and his detail with the coaching staff that

56
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: he goes through every week, I'm guessing the training camp

57
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: and offseason urban Meyer, it is a little different than

58
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: game week. Urban Meyer, like game week prep and having

59
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: those sheets ready. John feels like this coaching staff might

60
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: get a real first taste of that coming up. That

61
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: he had the tips sheets ready for Dallas. I mean,

62
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean he he talked about being nervous.

63
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: I'll bet for him it's not so much nerves as just,

64
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, whatever, the tightest you can pull a piece

65
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: of elastic before it breaks. He's probably always like that

66
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: and very, very ready and tuned up. I doubt he

67
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: gets nervous in the sense that I get nervous every day,

68
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: but probably just in a high level of readiness. I

69
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: thought I heard the word anxiety in there too, and

70
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: and and he did go out of his way to

71
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: point out that all coaches get nervous on game day.

72
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: I can remember conversation I had with Doug Maron underneath

73
00:03:52,240 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: them uh Metro what is it? What's the state? Actually

74
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: scripts exactly we're talking about uh met Life Stadium. I

75
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: forgot the name of it, um and and I asked

76
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: him genuinely, this was two thousand eighteen. You know, are

77
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: you ready? And he said, hell no. In typical Doug,

78
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: you're never ready for opening day because you just don't

79
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: know new coaches, new players, new staff members. It changes

80
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: everything and you just don't know. And coaches, especially coaches

81
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: like Urban Meyer, our guys that want to have every

82
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: eventuality on their card. They want to be able to

83
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,559
Speaker 1: deal with every single issue that comes up. Well, you can't.

84
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: It's impossible. And so Doug was relating the fact that

85
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: you're always going to be anxious until the game is

86
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: kicked off because you just don't know what you're dealing with.

87
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: And he's a lot less nervous now than Uh, we

88
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 1: didn't have Trevor Lawrence. It helps. That helps the nuns

89
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: so nervous about it. You got Trevor Lawrence is making

90
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: his debut this week, and you know, there are still

91
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: a lot of changes on offense. There's you know, they

92
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: brought on Tyron John's and the very tail in there.

93
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: They've added a time and they added a running back

94
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: to the practice squad, So actually there is still there

95
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: are still some moving parts for this team. And it

96
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: kind of feels like that might be the case a

97
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: good bit of this season. Guys up and down all year.

98
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: It kind of seems like a plug and play. I

99
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: thought it was interesting, I question what Philip door Sets

100
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: role was on his team when he was assigned to

101
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: the practice squad. I thought, Okay, maybe they're not as

102
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: high on him as they once wore, And then coach

103
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: Meyer made it clear yesterday the hamstring is the reason

104
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: he's on the practice squad. So I think you'll see

105
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: things like that where you'll have those guys being elevated

106
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: d j R. Laviscause, No, Marvin Jones. We know that

107
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: who that fourth and fifth spot is. I think we'll

108
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: find out this week. I'll tell you what door sets

109
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: role is. Run really fast a long way, I mean.

110
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: And that was the thing with him from March is

111
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: they he wants speed ORMs. Great quotes yesterday was I

112
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: don't want to be involved in an offense that doesn't

113
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: have deep speed. And he said it over and over again.

114
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: What's intriguing? And I thought of this when JP asked

115
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: the question, there's a chance they start nine guys who

116
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: start a week one in two thous on offense. Yeah,

117
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: five offensive offensive lineman, O'Shaughnessy, James Robinson, the two wide receivers.

118
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: The only change is really gonna be Trevor Lawrence of significance.

119
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: So big change. I mean, it's the change you wanted, Brian, Well,

120
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: it's that two thousand Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, we're talking about

121
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 1: it since, uh since at least, but that's an amazingly

122
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: small amount of turn for a that But to me,

123
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: it shows you they believe whether or not outsiders believe

124
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: that this offensive line, the continuity can be key to

125
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: what they're doing. I'll get to that. That's a major question,

126
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: but that to me is a huge key. Well that

127
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: brings us to the story. Look, we're talking about speed

128
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: on the outside and the quarterback. The quarterback, the quarterback.

129
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to be the caveman here. I am more

130
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: interested in their ability to run the ball. I go

131
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: back to what he said, you know, back in the

132
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: preseason about talking to Joe Burrow and about the value

133
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: of having play action, and you've got to be able

134
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: to help this kid. Quarterbacks Jaguars quarterbacks the last two

135
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: years one in fifteen when they've had to throw the

136
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: ball thirty five times or more. Right, eventually, I think

137
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: you'll be able to throw it fifty times with this kid,

138
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: like like a Tom Brady or a Peyton Manning, but

139
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: not in his rookie season. You've got to be able

140
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: to run the ball, which means Chris man Hurt has

141
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: to be able to help Linda Norwell and Canny inside

142
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: have to be able to create lanes. If you want

143
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: to throw the ball. You damn well better be able

144
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: to run it, no doubt about that. And the story,

145
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: Oh no, not the end of the story. He's got more,

146
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: but it is one more, one more quick. You were

147
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: talking about about nine nine players from last year's offense.

148
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Starting um, we said last year, we said in the

149
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: off season, this was a one in fifteen team, but

150
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: the roster had more talent than a one in fifteen

151
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: team should, and they validated that with the seasons last year.

152
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: They were one in fifteen because of inconsistent quarterback play

153
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: because of the offensive line, you know, not because of

154
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: the fact that they didn't have a great pass rush.

155
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: Those might have been contributing factors, but the quarterback position

156
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: was the reason they were one in fifteen, and I

157
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: think that has to be pointed out because this kid's

158
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: coming in and it's going to be expected now to

159
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: be the difference. This is Jaguars reporters, and come see

160
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: the new look Jaguars in person at t I A.

161
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: Bank Field this year, or well, not as new look

162
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: as we thought. With this last conversation we had visit

163
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com or called nine four six three three

164
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: two thousand. Let's wrap today with one question for all

165
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: of us. Well, it's about a question mark. What is

166
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: the biggest question mark remaining for this Jaguars team heading

167
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: into Week number one? Ashlands? Is the run defense as

168
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: good as it appears in preseason? Is it fixed? Can

169
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: we talk about it maybe as a strength? It looks

170
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: to be possibly that way from our preseason games, But

171
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: now what's the regular season? Is it for real? Is

172
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: it actually as improved as it looks to be? I

173
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: asked the key beyond quarterback? I think Ashton just hit

174
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: on the key to the season. To me, they couldn't

175
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: compete the last two years because you couldn't stop the run.

176
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: When you can't stop the run, you can't do anything

177
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: else defensively. If they're better against the run, all of

178
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: a sudden, those games that were being decided by fourteen

179
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: points last year shrink to a six point game. Six

180
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: point game anybody can win. And so if if they're

181
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: indeed better, then they're better as a team. Well, I

182
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: totally agree with you. But just as the flip side

183
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: of that, who's gonna rush the pastor I mean, Josh

184
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: Allen will get pressure, but they're gonna slide coverage and

185
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: protections towards him. So who's going to be the other guy?

186
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: Is Caleb and Jason ready to take the step up?

187
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: The hard ward can can to want Smoot continue to grow. Um,

188
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: you've got to have more than one guy that can

189
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: get home right now, Alan is the only guy that's

190
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: proven to be able to create his own pass rush.

191
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: Someone else has to step up. I'm gonna stay on

192
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: defense too, but I'll go on the back end. Just

193
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: for argument's sake. What's c J. Henderson's situation? Can he

194
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: maintain that throughout the season? Shaq Griffin? He had a

195
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: lot of money to come in here on the other side.

196
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: If for some reason Henderson is not available, then his place,

197
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: you know, his value goes way up, has to and

198
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: then all everything else is new back there too, the

199
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: until entire defense is new. I mean, that's that's a

200
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,599
Speaker 1: real big question mark for this team. What will this

201
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 1: thing look like? I don't have any idea. Patients will

202
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: be required at times this year, people to remember that

203
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: good thing. We're all very good at that. Well. I

204
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: alluded to this in the last segment, But I do

205
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: think the offensive line is a question mark because there's

206
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: so many questions marks outside the team about it, but

207
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: I don't really consider that a huge question because I

208
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: believe they're pretty good. Uh So, my question is are

209
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: the wide receivers as good as we locally think they are?

210
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is Marvin James be

211
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 1: pretty good. I mean he's shown it. He's he's a

212
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: nine touchdown thousand ye artist guy. I don't know if

213
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: he's fIF yard guy. DJ Chark showed a flash and nineteen.

214
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: We think Levisca Chenalt is pretty good. So we've seen him,

215
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: and we all sort of spent the off season saying,

216
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: okay're pretty good receiver, but are they really good at receiver?

217
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: You know, which they haven't shown yet. They haven't shown.

218
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: Some people around here Santenna think they'll be one of

219
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: the better groups in the league. They're not there yet.

220
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: This is a group that has the potential to be

221
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: very good. What will that potential look like by the

222
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: end of the season. Are there Pro bowlers in this

223
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: bunch or they're just good players in this bunch. That's

224
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: a big difference in this league right now. Are they elite?

225
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: I want to find that out. I think if if

226
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: you can run the ball, you don't need superstar wide

227
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: receivers all over the field. Right, if it's balanced out,

228
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: you can play on offense with average to above average

229
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: wide receivers, which I think they can be right now.

230
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: I think this is on DJ Chark. Yeah. Well, the

231
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: coach pointed out that he didn't a big um and

232
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: and he's there's no doubt he's got the athleticism and

233
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: the speed. He's he's just not an attack mentality. Uh,

234
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to be the alpha guy that that

235
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: you want from that big one. UM, it's on him

236
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: if he decides to play that way. And I don't know,

237
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: it's a contract year. If it were me, every ball

238
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: that came near me would be mine because here's another million,

239
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: here's another million, collect that the ball, collect the money. Um,

240
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: that would be the way I approach it. If he

241
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: has a huge year, then this is an excellent wide

242
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: receiving groups. I think he defines this group because I'm

243
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: gonna disagree with you. I thought there were flashes in

244
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: nineteen where he would catch the ball coming across the middle,

245
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: where he would make make big plays downfield, where he

246
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: looked like he was flashing that number one thing, but

247
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't there enough. And then it wasn't there last year.

248
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: So is that What he is are the moments that

249
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: you saw where he was making huge plays? What he is?

250
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: If he's that, if he's taken that step, then everything

251
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: else in the wide receiver corps comes along with him.

252
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, Lavisca is a really good

253
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: slotter number two. Then all of a sudden, Marvin Jones.

254
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 1: If you get nine touchdowns and here in yards out

255
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: of your third guy, boy, you're great. So I think

256
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: he's the key, and I think he's one of the

257
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: most intriguing storylines on the team. I didn't say he

258
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. What I'm saying is consistency. Every Sunday,

259
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: the great ones go out and do it. And that's

260
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: what we haven't seen. Yeah, and frankly that the excuses

261
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: and that's not the correct word for it. But we

262
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: always last year when we talked about d J. Chark

263
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: and even really the year before that, we said, well,

264
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: look at the inconsistent quarterback play, look at Jake Luten,

265
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: Mike Glenn and Gardner Minshoe. Now you're gonna have Trevor

266
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: Lawrence hopefully every single week. And he said it last week,

267
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: he said, now having Lawrence. He throws the ball, it's

268
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: gonna be on me to go get it. Yep. Absolutely,

269
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: it's awesome when the balls right there. Yeah, that's true.

270
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: That sure helps the book for sure. I remember to
