  Speaker 1: guy with a pickup selling gas station sandwich. It depends
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: on what food trucks. That's what I mean by that.

• 0:59
  Speaker 1: We've got a good program for you today. Here's what's
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: coming up on this program. Quincy Williams back. We'll hear
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: from the Jaguars rookie linebacker. It is the final preseason
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: game coming up Thursday tomorrow. So bubble players a big
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: topic and guys who once were bubble players will get
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: some different thoughts on what this week is and what
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: this week means. In that locker room offensive line talk.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Still some business to attend to their at right guard.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: According to Doug Moron today at the luncheon and the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: uniform unveiling, Jimmy Luck, we'll join us in studio as
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: usual and we'll pick our players to watch. You and
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I John will pick players to watch in this football
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: game Thursday night against the Falcon. It's a limited list
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: this week of players who watch. That's right. They always
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: give the players not dressing or whatever in the preseason.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: It might be better to show the players who are dressing.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: That's kind of the where this thing's going. Yeah. I
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: will write probably as much tomorrow night on on who's
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: not playing as as who is. But that's that's the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: nature the preseason. Well, let's start with a guy who
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: may or may not play tomorrow night, Quincy Williams, rookie linebacker.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: He's been out with the meniscus issue. They went in there,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: had a little surgery to clean it up. He's been
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: back on the practice field this week. That's the good news.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: The question is whether he'll play or if he's gonna
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: be ready for the regular season without playing in the preseason. Well,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: we heard from Quincy Williams in the locker room this
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: week and it was his first surgery really at all,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and it was a little bit foreign to him. It
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: was scary. Um just going, I have him. I'm a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: healthy horse. Though then when he was like surgery, I
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: was like, whoa hold on now? And then he was like,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: we need to get it done now. And I was like,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: so I already like hospital. So that isn't my biggest thing.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: He's he's a great he's a joy to talk to. Actually,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: he's a He's a smart guy and a really good
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: interview and a nice guy. And U to have him back.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I think it's good for the football team and certainly
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: good for him. I mean, that's just the unknown for him,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I think was the big concern there. And it's kind
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of a neat kid because I've only talked to him
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: one on one maybe a couple of times. But he
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: strikes he as a guy who went to Murray State. Uh,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: A lot of this is sort of new and unexpected.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: He's not jaded all by it. He didn't go to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you know, Alabama. There's a lot of media coach, a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: lot of scrutiny, so a lot of this it's still
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: fun for him. And my understanding was I didn't get
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a chance of asking this yesterday, But I understanding was
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: when they told him knee surgery, he didn't really know
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: what that knee surgery meant. Like he heard knee surgery.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I was like, wait a minute, is this like serious
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: and had to be explained to him. Now it's it's
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a clean up. You're fine with back for the very
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: good season. So I think once he found that out,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: he was very relieved. And he doesn't have the experience
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: yet with surgery like Logs sits here and can rattle
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: off his nine team a thousand surgeries that he had
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and give you a laundry list and logs. You know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: by the time a lot of these guys are in
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the eighth ninth year, they know going in what it is,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: what to expect, this is, it was all new. The
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: good news for Quincy is he's gonna be back. I
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna be back by the regular season. Opener.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I I don't get the idea listening to Doug All
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: through this training camp in preseason. This is a guy
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: who has been cautious to a point of extreme. His
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: air in the side of caution with everything. I can't
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: imagine that he won't do the same thing with a
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: kid who's coming off a knee. Uh. Who they believe in,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: who they've seen a lot out of, they like what
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: they've seen. I think some guys might play them all
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: night who they're not sure what they've seen yet. With Quincy,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I think there's a belief that he's going to be good.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Let's just be safe. I'd be surprised to be played tomorrow.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you on that. That makes a
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: lot of sense. They like Nagy good there, and no
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: matter what happens next week in that position, who they
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: figure out to put out there, I think they're both
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: going to see some time. I don't think there's any Yeah,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: he talked about platooning, and I would get to this
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a minute, but he's talked about platooning right guard. It's
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: kind of hard to believe they wouldn't do that at
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: a linebacker the first week and certainly have a I
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: forget when Doc talked about a couple of weeks back,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: talked about, Hey, you know you're go into these things
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: with young guys of having a Plan A and then
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a Plan B in Casey looks overwhelmed at first. I
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: think the plan B with Nagy good is when they
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: like so maybe Quincy starts gets out there after a series. Hey,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: what'd you see? Something like that would make sense. We'll
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: see moving ahead, what the Jacks plan to do with
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the rookie linebacker. Well, this week is just always a
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: little bit of an odd week in that locker room.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: It's ninety guys and then all of a sudden come Monday,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: they're fifty three guys plus ten practice squad guys, maybe
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: not even ten practice squad guys at that point until
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: they fill out the practice squad roster. So you're down
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: from ninety to say sixty to sixty three guys on Monday.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: It's a big change in the locker room. And we
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: talked to a few different guys this week, John about
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: about this week, guys who haven't been through it yet,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: undrafted rookies this year or just going through it for
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the first time and might have their final chance on
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: an NFL field or final chance with Jaguars. And then
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: we've talked to some veteran guys who have been in
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the league now for seven years who started as an
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: undrafted player and then stuck and have been in the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: league ever since. And one of those is Avery Jones,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Jaguars defensive tackle. He had to think back a little bit.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: It's been a while since he went through this week
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: his rookie season, my rookie year, I felt like I
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: did enough to make practice squad, so I was kind
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: of just waiting on my call and hopefully just get
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: picked back up. And then, you know, I didn't get
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: a call. So, you know, at first I called my agent,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: you know, make sure they had to see if they
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: called him. I know they have my right number or not,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: because they were still calling me arv. But uh, well,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I didn't get I didn't get the call, so you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: when I realized it, it was kind of it was exciting,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, happy as hell. It's just overwhelming,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you know, especially when you think you're not gonna really
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: make it, you know, no fifty three or anything like that.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: It's just life changing to me. It was like a
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: quick transition period because I had to go to work
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the next day and I had nowhere to if and
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: he was kicking us out of the hotel so it
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: was like, you know, it was a half moment, it
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: was a quick transition. There's a lot going on in
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the guy's mind like that, I mean out of places before.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: So you know how that is. It happens right, and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: if you're up against it, if you're trying to make
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: a team or make a broadcast, whatever it is. I mean,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: in any world, walk of life, you can go through
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: something like that. It's a big moment. These guys been
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: working through their college careers to try to get to
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the NFL and they're finally here, but you don't know
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: where you're gonna be the next week. It's the weirdest
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: day of the year when you walk in on Monday.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: And I know players sense it to they're like young guys.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: They don't talk much about it, but you've there's a
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the offseason team and locker room has a much different
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: field than the regular season, and there's ninety guys around.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys. They're all working, they're rehabbing
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: together and they do build some bonds. And then there's
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you know, probably forty five of these guys know that
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: they're probably gonna be on the roster, but they make
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the team and then there's eight guys who are overjoyed
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: because they've made it, at least for a couple of
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: days they're in. But then there's also even the stars
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: go through this when they walk in on Monday and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: look around. There's guys they were working out next to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: who there's that I'm sure fifteen twenty minutes where they're
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: sitting there and the guys not there next to them
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: when they realize this is a business. It's a tough business.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: It ends fast. Uh, And most guys I've ever talked
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to say that there are some there is some time
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: on Monday where you sit back and think how lucky
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: you are to be in this league, and how luck
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: you already have the talent and too and for some
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: of them, how lucky they are to have been in
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: a situation where okay, this time it worked out. Because
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: some of these guys who make it have been situations
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: where they haven't made it before, so they get how
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: difficult it can be. There's a lot of guys on
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the team like that. This year, there's a lot of
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: third or fourth year guys who are trying to make this,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: who have a chance, and uh, it's always an emotional
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: day and you go through these oceans. But yet at
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the same time, the coaches are telling them, now is
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the time. It's it starts. Now all the preparation forget
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: all that. Now it's time to go win. So all
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: of a sudden you're in in uh, you know, game mode.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: So it's it's it's a very strange day. Does a
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: put it? You know, that's when you realize you're one
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: of the chosen ones that the organization feels you can
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: help this team get to the super Bowl and win
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. And that's then it's time to play.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And that's that's how it turns out. The year Abrie
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: got chosen, they weren't winning a Super but but the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: point is, all of a sudden they are in it.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: And and for the young guys, they're not only going
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: through Okay, I made it, but they're trying to the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: coaches are trying to get them to the point of, um,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: there's a different level you have to play at now too. Okay,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: you've made it. That's great. You probably accomplished something that
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: that you've been working for your whole life. Now, guess
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: what we need more? We need more intensity, we need
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: more a higher level of play. That's why I have
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: to be a rookie, because you're not really ready for that.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: You mentioned some of these third, fourth year guys that
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: have been through this before. They're just trying to stick
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: on another team with the Jaguars. One of those guys
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: is Trey mcbrin wide receiver reasons. He's in his fourth
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: year out of William and Mary, and as is the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: case with you know, deep down the depth chart wide receiver's, fourth, fifth,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: sixth receiver types, special teams come into play, and I
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: had a chance to ask him what exactly does that
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: mean for a player and what he's gone through in
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: special teams in this preseason, I'm on the depth chart
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: in all phases. I haven't necessarily repped each phase in
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: every game. It's kind of been split up. You know. Baltimore,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I got some gunner, and I haven't seen much gunner
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: since then, so you know, hopefully I get a chance
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: to get some more gunner, which is an important role
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: um on the coverage team for punt and uh, you know,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I think that that's you know, really critical as far
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: as is my specific career path is involved. But I've
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: been doing kickoff coverage, been you know, I had to
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: tackle UM two weeks ago, and and you know, and
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: assist this last week. And uh, you know, I haven't
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: haven't got a chance to be a feature returner, but
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I have stepped in and returned some UM this preseason,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and I thought that all those were you know, as
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: far as I'm as far as like, the feedback that
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I've gotten from the coaches has been good. You know,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing it right and and and taking the cuts
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: where they need to be and catching all of them
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So you know, I hope that, uh,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I hope that all that stuff matters for me. I
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: hope that they, like, you know, I hope that that
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: holds weight in the in the staff room. And because
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I you know, I believe that I can't help being
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: tremendous help on special teams UM on all phases. I
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: think I'm pretty versatile and you can kind of stick
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: me in anywhere and I can get the job done.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: So there's uh, fantastic approach there for a guy who's,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: as we said, been through this before. He understands what
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: it takes and and and and how this week goes
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and what a performance like that on special teams those
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: those reps, those snaps, though they aren't on offense, are
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: unbelievably valuable, especially a week like this, and he's in
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: a situation and there's a few of these situations out
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: there this year for this team. Thomas Rawls comes to mind,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: um that because everybody's looking for a story right now
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and and you're looking for a hook. We all talk
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: about bubble guys, and we all talk about the young guys,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and we'll all be writing and discussing it on Monday
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: when some of these guys have made it or they
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: haven't made it. But for a guy like Trey McBride,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: his reality might be I don't think he's gonna make
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna keep six h six receivers. I
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: get the feeling one of them be prior, so there's
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: not gonna be seven. But for a guy like him,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: he clearly has shown this staff that he can get
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: it done if needed. So there's a lot of guys
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: like that who might not make the fifty three. But
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and it's an using situation. There's been no injuries at
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: that spot this year. Usually guys like Tray McBride make it.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: If if you have a weird injury, then all of
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: a sudden, that fifth or sixth spot comes open. So
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a guy like him, a guy like Rowle As, a
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: guy like maybe Ben Koyak. These guys come to mind
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: who've been in the league for a while, they've shown
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: and they want to show the coaches one more time
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: on Thursday. You can rely on me. So in September,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: if somebody does get hurt, these guys are the first
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: call back because they know the scheme, they know what's
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: going on. They're comfortable. So sometimes these guys aren't playing
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: for bubble spots right now as much as they're playing
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: for Okay, we're on your list of ten or twelve
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: guys that when attrition starts during the season, and it
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: always does, these guys are often the first calls back.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: We've seen that over the years, many many times, guys
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: who all of a sudden in October, you're saying hello
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to him again. Elie and Ku has been around here
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: for a couple of years. He's a guy certainly on
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the bubble this year with a draft pick at the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: nose tackle spot this year and Dontevious Russell Elienko's approach,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Hey just put it on tape. The goal is to
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: approach it just says any other week. You know, obviously
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: everyone's fighting for a job, whether it's you know here
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: or somewhere else possibly. Um, everyone's just trying to have
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: their best foot forward. You're not trying to stress yourself
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: out with all these are am I gonna make the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: team and blah blah blah. Um. At the end of
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the day, you just gotta put your your your best
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: self on tape. Um. If if you're a bet, you're
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: good fit for this team, then you know you'll end
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: up with this team. But if you belong on another team,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: another scheme, then so be it. And you see what
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: he's done in his career. He's bounced around from the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Texans to the Jags and has been in eleven games
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: so far in his career with sack and a half
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: so far in his time here. And he's another example
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: of what I'm talking about. You know guys who you know,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: even if they think they may not be making this team. Um.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: The coaching staff, especially a guy like Doug remembers, Hey,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: this was a guy who in that last preseason game
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: maybe knew he wasn't gonna make it, still was prepared,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: still gave it the best shots still performed, and then
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: when they're looking at a list of guys in October
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: to bring back who do you trust, Well, this guy
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: did it for me once. I don't know this other
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: name over here. So that's the sort of thing that
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: as disappointed as some of these guys will, we'll never
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: be a lot of disappointment many of the guys who
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: get cut if if you cut what thirty five, twelve, sixteen,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: and those guys wind up playing somewhere else. So that's
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: sort of the very difficult journeyman part of the league.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Our final thought on this topic today comes from an
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: undrafted rookies perspective. We've heard from the seventh year player
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: and Abrey Jones, We've heard from the fourth year veteran
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: and McBride. We've just heard from Ankou who's a young
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: player in this league now Tyree Brady, the undrafted wide
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: receiver from Marshall. It can be a little nerve racking
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: for an undrafted rookie. I'll control you because you know,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: it's a big it's a big um, it's a big
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: game right here. You know, a big week, you know,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: and going into it, you know that that's the main
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: part you wanna, you wanna go in the East game
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: with a clear mind. It's just halfling out there. Just
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: play ball, do what you do. So, I mean, that's
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: what I just meant. Focused on just playing a ball,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: you know, just working on my technique, the little things
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: like that. You know, I'm looking forward because it's a game,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: and you know I'm a siety. I'm in the NFL
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: catching balls, running routes. So I mean that's society. This
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: happy to be here man in the NFL running routes
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and catching balls. One same deal has a chance to
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: be on the practice squad. He showed especially early in camp,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: really showed up probably a little bit more of a
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: pure wide receiver, and it it's hard to visualize him
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: making a huge impact on special teams UM, just because
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: of of the body type. He looks like a big
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: guy who can play uh at the wide receiver position.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Sometimes tough for those guys to be special teams guys. UM.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: But another guy who showed up early and wouldn't be
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: surprising at all on the practice squad, any guy who
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: winds up on the ninety next year. Sometimes those you
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: know you know you started calling first year veterans rather
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: than rookies. A lot of times those guys are the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: guys who wind up showing up in training camp the
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: next season. Fun conversation with him too, He's he's a
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: fun guy. A talk. I haven't talked to him. He
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: seems like a good kid. Let's come back. We've got
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: plenty to come on the Jaguars Happy Hour presented by

  Speaker 1: That was the name of the album. That's right, And um,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: all right, let's move along, shall we talk who we
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: can just continue? Mid nineties pop music it was big,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: all right, that was it was all kind of mashed
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: in together in that year. So and Coolio was out
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: that year too, Gangsters Paradise. I really went down there,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: right well we did the other day on this show.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: That's why, that's why I remembered that right offense. Speaking
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: of all the offensive line talk here, um, right guard
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: still up in the air, according to head coach Doug Marone,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: both yesterday and in the Back to Football lunch in
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: a little earlier today, Um, here's her. Here. Here's his
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: thoughts yesterday on the position where it stands between we're
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Will Richardson and a j camp. You know, it's a
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: tough decision. I don't know if it's it's one guy
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: is going to be the starter and that's it. Uh,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: you know I have platoon players before, you know, a
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: couple of series. We've seen that around the league. I
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: think those are the decisions that will make you know,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: going up to the first game. Said also that he
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't really need more game time to figure it out.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: They have enough practice time left. Do you really see
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: them platooning? These guys are just naming a guy and
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: going on. Well, a couple of thoughts on that. First
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: of all, I think it's it's a good sign. And
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: some people say, well, you know you're always gonna say
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: it's a good sign. You're on Jaguars Radio. But Um.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: In the past, Doug has played guys who are going
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: to play in the regular season in that last preseason game.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, he did that in two thousand
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: and seventeen with a lot of offensive linemen and and
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: a j Can may have been one up um. This year,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think you'll see those guys because I think
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: he's telling the truth when he says he likes what
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: he has seen from both. It's not a case of
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: not knowing what they're going to do with the spot.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: It's a case of trying to decide between two guys
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: that they like at the spot. Big difference between that
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: and what was going on two years ago when you
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: remember it was chaos in the offensive line going into
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: that regular season. So I I do think he'll think
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: about I think he's gonna call it platooning, my guests.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Is what they'll do is they'll start a j Can
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: in the first game because at the experience level. I
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: think it was Jeff Lockerman I heard saying this week
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the right tackle is playing his first game, and if
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: they start Will Richardson at right guard and John Taylor
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: right tackle, you're starting two players where their entire NFL
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: playing experience is whatever snaps they could the two gets
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins last week. Um, that would probably make me
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: uncomfortable if I'm a head coach. So you could see
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: a scenario with a platoon a little bit in that
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: first game, start a J. Give Richardson a couple of series.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I think by the time we hit the end of September,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be Will Richardson starting because they
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: like him, they like his potential. He's the player on
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: the upswing. But what a great situation there. And everybody
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: talks about the lack of depth on the team on
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: the interior of the line. When you've got shot leeann
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Can who can play all three spots, I think they're
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: pretty deep, unusually deep on the interior of that line.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: And I do think A J. Cann is a guy
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: that you know, we all saw it last year. You
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: typically don't make it through an entire raduar season with
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: your offensive line healthy. Um, A J. Cann at some point,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: if you even start starting to right guard, it's gonna
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: play significant minutes for this team, or isn't even place
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: for this team. So but I think it will be
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Will Richardson by October. But a J cann the first
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: game just to get it, just to get it going,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: and then once there's more experience down the line and
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: maybe switch it up well. And I think about last week,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: we're seeing a couple of penalties. You know, they don't
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: if a J has been anything, it's been very reliable
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: on the field in terms of his mental approach. He's
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: a very reliable guy. So they probably trust that. Coaches
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: like veterans, I could see him holding that spot until
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: until Wild Richardson plays well enough to just take it away.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Let's continue on the offensive line. That's the topic we
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: brought up on Monday's show with Tony Boselli. You might
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: have heard of him. Jeff Loguman was in for Pete Prisco.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: You've heard of those two guys as well. And Tony
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: brought up maybe a little concern about the left tackle position.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Cam Robinson's played six snaps in the preseason. He'll play
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: near seventy or so on opening day, and you know
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: the backup, Oh boy, he has a hamstring issue. Right now,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: here's Tony Boselli, Jeff Logan and yours truly on Monday night.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: My position of camp's ever changed. I think he's immensely talented.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I love his nastiness, he's physical, he's tough. I just
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: think his footwork has been just really average at best
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: and what gets him in trouble. And um, I'm not
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: gonna make any judgments from the six place we saw,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't good. But that's okay, I mean, coming
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: back from a c L. Just just beat out there. Yeah,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: just yeah. I'm like, I don't want to be critical. Really,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: he's working hard, but that has to get better, and
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: his conditioning is not going to be where it needs
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: to be. I mean, I'll tell you right now, I've
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I've done it playing temporary tem places in the preseason,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: coming off in a c L and mine was seven
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: and a half months and his is gonna be almost eleven.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: But you're for that first few you're like that first
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: game sucking wind. It's I mean, you like, you know,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: seventy by the way, you're playing against a pretty damn
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: good player in Frank Clark. He's pretty good. Yeah, and
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: so I'm I'm a little worried about that. I think
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: if you're John D. Philippo, you have the game plan
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: for that. I mean, that's a game plan and then
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: and you better hope you got your rookie, right, a
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: rookie on the other side. Okay, right now, who are
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: you more confident in? I'm more confident in Juwan Taylor
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: in past protection. My point is you have to pick one. Yeah,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: that's right. There's Tony Selly, Jeff Logan, and and some
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: concerns there because you know the length of the game
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: and he hasn't gone that long in a while. And
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: then you know, how many time do you keep an
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: extra tackle that he normally would if a boy he's
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: not ready, and there's some questions there. Yeah, I mean,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I probably can't provide much more insight into what's wrong
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: with cam Uh in terms of his foot war than
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Tony and Jeff can. The book on Cam early last
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: year was that he needed to He had played well
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: as a rookie for a rookie in two thousand seventeen
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: was his rookie year, but that if he was going
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: to fulfill his draft status and be that lockdown left
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: tackle that you want, he had to get a lot better.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Through three games last year or through through two games
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: last year. The consensus was he was still struggling preseasons,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: still struggling with it. So all of that is what
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: was said about Ken Robinson last year. Um, he's certainly
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: six plays is not enough to show if he's improved
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: off that. I assume that at this point he probably
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: hasn't improved off that because he's had no time to
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: work on footwork. He's had no time to work on anything.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: So it's definitely a topic. Uh the tight ends not
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: being healthy until now. Are they ready to help him
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: in the passing game? I think all those things are
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: a huge concern. I think they have to run the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: ball well against Kansas City to win because of that. Well.

• 29:51
  Speaker 1: If you buy tickets, you'll get one of those like that. Yes,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: slapping on Remember that from the nineties. I actually don't
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: to the head of been a nineties thing. How there
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: are you in the nineties? Too old for the nineties.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I was thirty when the team started. I never had
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: much of a life, but I had less of a
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: life in the ninties. I got you. That was kind
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: of my prim back in the day. Yeah, it's all
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: downhill since then. I bet you were running how I
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: do in that time? We didn't? Right, Um, Well, here
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: we are the final preseason game, and for you know,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Doug Morons talked about this throughout the week, how tough
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: this week is for him to cut the roster down
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: and sit across from the guy and say, hey, whatever
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: he says, and the guy's gotta go. Then the guys
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: in the locker room this week say on Monday, well
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: it's empty. I mean, there's no nobody around, and this
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: is our team. We gotta go play a football game
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: and forget about that. But the equipment, guys, I mean,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: you're getting rid of getting rid of, but you're losing
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of guys. I have a lot of equipment. Yeah,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: it's it's kind of crazy. I mean, you get you
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: get attached to some of these guys. They've been here since, um,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: you know, early in the year, and in here pretty
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: much every day. And you know, this game, I think
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: we're dressing you know, right at ninety guys. And then
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: the first game and next week, I mean we're gonna
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: dress forty six guys, so it's almost half as many people. So, um,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: it's kind of it's kind of a weird time the
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: next few days. Um, you know, you're glad the season's here,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: but then it's not a good day for a lot
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: of people too. That's something I think a lot of
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: people don't realize. If you're not around the team every day,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: you don't realize that. Uh, A lot of us are
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: around it and we know players, but I might see
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: your talk to three or four players a week. You
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: guys are sort of the first line of defense with
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: players and and and you're with them every day and
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: you do get to know these guys. So when they leave,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: it is tough because it's work, but there are friendships
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: involved here too. You get close to some of these guys,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: you pull form some of them are nicer than others.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, I'm sure better relationships, but it's not an
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: easy time. Yeah, No, there's no doubt. Like everybody, you
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: kind of have, like I work with the DBS, and
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: you kind of get some favorites over there, and you
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: obviously the veterans, you know we're gonna be here, but
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: you know you might get a new guy like Pablo
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: uh Picasso. I called him Pao Picasso Nelson. I mean,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: he's he shows up every day, he's got a smile
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: on his face, he's in the meeting rooms early. Like
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: you just root for that kid. So that's what you hopefully,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: hopefully he's done enough on pape that he can be here.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: If not, you know, I wish him well, but you know,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: he kind of kind of root for him a little bit,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: a little guy. So we fun to see a guy
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: like that baked you know, try guy who was a
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: little bit of long shot here. All right, let's get
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: to the moment of truth here. What will the jaguar?
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: You put your coffee away? John Director should be mad
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: at it. What are the jaguars wearing? Jimmy luck, But
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go with the white pants, white pants, white pants, Okay,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: and then we'll go with the deal Jersey, why not?
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: It's a good look. Won't be getting dirty. Yeah, that
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: one that one probably won't get too week. Hey, j boys,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: he's from Atlanta, so that was kind of why I
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: picked up. He wanted a community award today at the
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Back to Football luncheon, by the way, which was nice
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: to see and a j boy a poise for another
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: good season here with the Jaguars. Yeah, he actually is
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: from like the little high school that's next door to mine, neighboring.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: We we didn't we didn't play them. They were a
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: little bigger. But so I've kind of always been rooting
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: for a j two. Jimmy luck could get open. Man
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: had ways eleven always open. That's right. Have it deeal
• 33:24

• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you get the app. Saw them in concert in
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Tampa and uh in August. I'd like to he's still
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: going around right, A surprisingly strong share, a strong void
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: that he's seventy four, Jeff Lanne surprisingly strong boys, really good?
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: How about that? Good to know. Let's finish up today
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: with our players to watch tomorrow. I'm gonna start because
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna start about that. Give me d j
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Alexander Linebacker, a guy who's been a pro bowler in
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: his career as a special teams player, but for a
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: linebacker room that it has some depth concerns. I think
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: right now he's a guy to watch. You'll probably get
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: some time tomorrow night. Watch him on special teams do
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: his thing, d J Alexander, keep an eye on that
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: linebacker and then he makes the roster. You think, so
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: do you think so? Um? So something watched should unpack
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: the luggage because I said that, But I think John
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Ozer Jaguars got tom reports. Uh. And then the other
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: one for me is that we were talking about the
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: tackle position earlier, the left tackle spot and Cam Robinson.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: We heard from Tony Boselli on Monday about maybe some
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: concerns about the amount of plays he's gonna have to play.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: And then a boy, he's got a hamstring issue. He
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: hasn't been on the practice field. How many tackles do
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: they keep? Is this the last time we see Josh
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Wells in a Jaguars uniform? Uh? He could get significant
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: time in tomorrow night's game. Um. He's been around here
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: for a number of years now, but has been banged
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: up a few different ways throughout his career. Has not
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: been able to be out there a lot. But he's
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: had moments where he's filled in, and when he's been healthy,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: he's played good, solid backup tackle for this football team.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Uh So, watch for him tomorrow night. We may not
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: get to say it, we'll see he's I think he's
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: on the bubble right now. He's definitely on the bubble um.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: And I sort of wonder if you know, he's an
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: odd case because I hope he's around. I think he
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: deserves to be around in terms of what he can
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: do in the field. I almost wonder why, you know,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: I get why he'll play. I almost wonder why in
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: a sense because when he's played, he's played fine. There's
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: no issue with Josh in terms of at how he plays.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: The issue is availability. He's been hurt so much. He
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: was playing at a relatively high level last year. Some
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: people thought he's playing as well or better than Cam
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Robinson had played a left tackle, and then against Kansas City,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden he's out for the season or
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: out until the end the season at eight games. Um So,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: so that's their dilemma with him. You keep him on
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: the roster and he's your depth. Well, they learned last
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: year three games and out, that's scary. Depth um. And
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: that's why I think of way he will be the
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: swing tackle and it's why they've they've played him so much. UM.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: So he's a tricky spot. You'd love to see the
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: kid make it, but sometimes guys just can't stay healthy
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: and it's left to play in this leaf you can't
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: stay healthy. So for me, linebacker DJ Alexander and tackle
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Josh Wells the players to watch. How about you, John Well?
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I went a different direction because everybody's talking about bubble
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: guys this week. I figured we would talk about bubble
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: guys before this segment, and I figured you would talk
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: about bubble guys because you had seen You've already told
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: me who you were talking about. So that was how
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: I figured that we've we've had a whole show a
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: bubble guy. So I went with Gardner Minshew was the
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: first UH backup quarterback. Um. I think he's definitely the
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: backup quarterback. I don't think that before the end of
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: the regular season, or or or for the end of preseason.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: And the reason I think that is if you were
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: going to make a move there, I wonder why you
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have already to bring somebody in who if you
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: don't trust that there would have been time to bring
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: it in and get another look at something else and
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: start teaching the offense a little bit. Well, the problem is,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: like with that, everybody else is signed already still, and
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it's hard to predict who else will
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: be on the street. Some of this may come if
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: a guy winds up on the street that you love, say, okay,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: you know those would those would be decisions to get
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: made Friday and Saturday. But you whether or not he's
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: the guy, If you assume that he is the backup,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: you would still like to see him get the ball
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: in the end zone. That's his next step. He has
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: improved dramatically since week one of the preseason, but you
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: still have not seen him finish off a drive. Either
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: side of that is, has he played with enough around
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: him to blame him for not finishing off the drive? Uh?
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe you would have loved to have seen him get
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: a couple of series with the ones to see how
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: he operated with that environment. But as a rookie backup
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: quarterback in this league, you don't always get put in
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: ideal situations. So the reality there's Gardner Minshew, that's one
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: for you. Another, well, we heard from Doug Moron this
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: week about your next player and said, hey, sometimes you
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: gotta strap it up and get your ass back out
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: there and play. Yeah, and Tavin Bryant I think will play.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: You know, you never know with when choosing veterans for
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Week four, sometimes the coaches decided not to play him.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: He played in the first two weeks, and considering that
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: he has not played fantastically, he is a guy who
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: you figure would benefit from a couple of series on Thursday,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: I think he will play. He obviously doesn't need to
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: play well to make the team, but you would like
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: to see the light go on or at least start
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: to flicker a little bit in terms of field awareness,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: in terms of some of the things that he hasn't
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: been doing. So certainly, if he's in the game, he'll
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: be tightly watched because he has been a hot button
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: issue throughout training camp and will continue to be until
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: he becomes more consistent. He flashes, but not enough consistency yet. Yeah,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: reading your ozone every day, it has become almost a
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: pile on on It's a bit much, to be honest.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's not going anywhere. He's on this welt
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: and he and you said you read it every day,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: and you sometimes search for a way to sum it
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: up when you're answering questions about guys over and over again.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: And I think I like the sum up on him
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: is he's not good enough to be starting, but he's
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: not bad enough to be cut. I mean, no way
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: do I think he's not one of the best ten
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: linemen on the team. So, and you wouldn't cut him
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: anyway because his first round pick, second year of his contract,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: you don't give up on that. But even considering he
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: hasn't lived up to the potential yet, he's he still
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: helps you if one of these top two tackles get hurt,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: you still want him in the game for his potential.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: You'd still worry about the inconsistency. But he's still the
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: best guy. You guys can get better too, I mean, well, yeah,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: experience gives you that sometimes, and he needs to. But
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: I think he's a year away from having roster pressure,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: but he's not a year away from needing to get better.
