Speaker 1: Welcome to Jack Strife Jon with Ashlyn Sellisells, Johns, Brian set.
0:12
Speaker 1: Jack Strife starts right now. I feel like me and
0:17
Speaker 1: Rayshan probably had the longest talk about, you know, the
0:19
Speaker 1: game after watching on the plane. I feel like, uh,
0:23
Speaker 1: guys like us, you know, uh, you talk about the
0:26
Speaker 1: second play the game. I gotta make that play. You
0:28
Speaker 1: know something that I gotta work on, uh to play
0:30
Speaker 1: with Rayshon, you know, you gotta brain those in. You know,
0:33
Speaker 1: it's little details like that that we have to fix.
0:36
Speaker 1: But I think the biggest thing that we took from
0:38
Speaker 1: the game is that first series, the energy to where
0:41
Speaker 1: we started off, the passion. You can feel it, you
0:44
Speaker 1: can see it. That's the part that we got to
0:47
Speaker 1: kind of continue throughout the whole game. I feel like
0:49
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing. And one more thing about the
0:52
Speaker 1: game that we learned was, you know that's that's find
0:54
Speaker 1: a way not to get frustrated with how the game
0:57
Speaker 1: is going, but focus on completing each time, each play,
1:00
Speaker 1: one play at a time. You know, we can't we
1:03
Speaker 1: can't kind of figure out what offense he may do
1:05
Speaker 1: each game, but we can't control what the defense does
1:07
Speaker 1: each play. That is Shaquille Griffin, Jaguar's cornerback and welcome
1:12
Speaker 1: into Jags Drive time. J P. Shadrick in for Ashland
1:15
Speaker 1: Sullivan this morning. Brian Sexton, John Oser alongside. We can
1:19
Speaker 1: list of the shack all day along though a nice
1:21
Speaker 1: edition and the Jaguars secondary and Jaguars leader on this team.
1:26
Speaker 1: Plenty to get to today. James Palmer coming up and
1:28
Speaker 1: just a little bit from NFL Network, we'll get his
1:30
Speaker 1: insight on the Denver Broncos. He's out in Denver these days.
1:33
Speaker 1: Will play, he will, he won't, he might, And here
1:37
Speaker 1: we go in a week two. Brian, here we go.
1:38
Speaker 1: Nice to see this morning, Well, great to see you guys.
1:41
Speaker 1: And here we are ready, just a few days away
1:44
Speaker 1: now from the home opener, finally fans and a full
1:47
Speaker 1: capacity crowd. John, Well, the nice thing about the NFL,
1:50
Speaker 1: you know, I get into the game next week and
1:52
Speaker 1: you know I'll put the past behind you and I
1:55
Speaker 1: you know, you get this one. Uh, I don't know
1:59
Speaker 1: all things forget in that you're one and one and
2:01
Speaker 1: you're moving forward night and you're right in. You know
2:04
Speaker 1: they're talking about a curve, right, a learning curve. I mean,
2:07
Speaker 1: this isn't a curve. I don't think this year. I
2:09
Speaker 1: think this is a learning staircase. Right, You're gonna go
2:12
Speaker 1: up and then you know, go down and go up
2:15
Speaker 1: and go down. I mean, it's it's gonna be here, here, here, here, here, here,
2:20
Speaker 1: all over the place this year because you've got a
2:23
Speaker 1: new coach a new quarterback, both making the transition from
2:27
Speaker 1: Saturday this Sunday. And as we saw last week, that's
2:29
Speaker 1: a bigger transition than people think. They think you just
2:31
Speaker 1: pop in and go. Clearly you don't. That's a horribly
2:34
Speaker 1: built staircase. Why don't we just have a staircase go up,
2:38
Speaker 1: maybe stairs stepper, you know exactly right, it's going to
2:44
Speaker 1: be this and uh, you know, I don't know that
2:47
Speaker 1: I expect long streaks in either direction. Let's get to
2:51
Speaker 1: our big things today and start off with head coach
2:54
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer and all the social media rumors there's a
2:57
Speaker 1: job opening in college football. Urban says, not so fast,
3:00
Speaker 1: my friend. There's no chance that Montier committed to try
3:06
Speaker 1: to build an organization. That's the comment on the Southern
3:11
Speaker 1: col opening. He's here, he's committed. That's great news for
3:14
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. Let's move to the Denver defense. It's
3:18
Speaker 1: the big challenge this week for the Jaguars offense that
3:21
Speaker 1: pass rush and expensive secondary. Urban Meyer knows the challenge ahead.
3:26
Speaker 1: Bond's gonna line up to our right side. We know
3:28
Speaker 1: where he's at every snap. He's that sort of a player. Um,
3:31
Speaker 1: he's also good against like zone read and those type
3:34
Speaker 1: of things. But he's a dynamic you know, he's a
3:35
Speaker 1: generational pass rusher, So you just have to know where
3:38
Speaker 1: he's at him have to have a plan for him.
3:40
Speaker 1: He's been banged up the last year or two and
3:42
Speaker 1: he's back fully had two sacks last week and their
3:45
Speaker 1: opener against the Giants and finally the home opener for
3:48
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. Trevor Lawrence making his home debut with
3:51
Speaker 1: a regular season for the Jags. Patients is key for
3:55
Speaker 1: the rookie. Honestly, they kept it really simple. If you
3:59
Speaker 1: like you watch the game, that was almost all covered
4:02
Speaker 1: to They didn't really disguise it. The only thing I
4:04
Speaker 1: did with some double mug stuff with the front, but
4:06
Speaker 1: they dropped out I mean eight percent of the time,
4:09
Speaker 1: so they weren't even trying to hide it. I was
4:10
Speaker 1: just not patient with the coverage and that's designed to
4:13
Speaker 1: prevent big plays, and um, I got a little bit
4:16
Speaker 1: greedy on a couple and trying to take too much
4:18
Speaker 1: and it just wasn't patient. That's a direct reflection of
4:20
Speaker 1: you know, the turnovers. You can listen to him talk
4:23
Speaker 1: all day long, I think JP. I I hope people
4:27
Speaker 1: tune in, and I think they will for his press conferences.
4:30
Speaker 1: Um he's so good. He he is so able to
4:34
Speaker 1: relate to people and analyze his own situation. UM so calm,
4:38
Speaker 1: so relaxed. No question, Unlike most coaches, no question bothers
4:43
Speaker 1: him because he knows it's not about the question, it's
4:45
Speaker 1: the answer. And his answers are always really good. I
4:48
Speaker 1: have in the past helped teach players how to deal
4:51
Speaker 1: with media here, and I've always said, don't ever worry
4:54
Speaker 1: about the question. Just think about what the answer is
4:56
Speaker 1: going to be. That's what he does. His answers are great.
4:58
Speaker 1: I think he's fun and he's so far, at least
5:02
Speaker 1: seems so critically. He knows exactly what he's looking at
5:05
Speaker 1: on the tape and can explain that in a proper way. John,
5:08
Speaker 1: I think he understands what his learning curve is going
5:10
Speaker 1: to be. Hopefully it's learning crazy. Was that guy he
5:17
Speaker 1: used to do like the the illusional paintings enid or
5:21
Speaker 1: something lost me? Now, yeah I lost you, then you
5:24
Speaker 1: lost so um U that's the guy. Um So he
5:31
Speaker 1: understands what the progression is supposed to be. I told you.
5:37
Speaker 1: I told with you guys when he threw the picks
5:39
Speaker 1: on Sunday, when you threw the first one, I said, okay,
5:42
Speaker 1: well there's the across the field pick. When you threw
5:44
Speaker 1: the second, I said, well, there's the one where he
5:45
Speaker 1: didn't see the cover two guy dropping, that's checking the bottom.
5:49
Speaker 1: And then there's the one where he didn't see the
5:51
Speaker 1: linebacker drop and checks the box. My guess is, at
5:54
Speaker 1: some point somebody told Trevor, hey, against this defense, here's
5:57
Speaker 1: what you gotta look for. Here's where you're throw picks
5:58
Speaker 1: if you make the wrong mistake. And he probably gone,
6:01
Speaker 1: where is that one? You know? That was? You know?
6:04
Speaker 1: But I think he gets it. I don't think he's
6:07
Speaker 1: alarmed by what he saw. I think he said, well,
6:09
Speaker 1: the next time I see that, I won't do that.
6:12
Speaker 1: Um I've got more on him later, so I won't
6:14
Speaker 1: go into it. But I think he's gonna be great. Yeah,
6:16
Speaker 1: that That was the point about when you listen to him,
6:19
Speaker 1: you understand he's figuring things out really quickly. I don't
6:22
Speaker 1: anticipate you're going to see the same mistakes from him
6:24
Speaker 1: very often twice. It would help a little bit if
6:27
Speaker 1: this offense seemed a little more balanced for him. Fifty
6:30
Speaker 1: one time throwing it in the game is a lot
6:33
Speaker 1: of times throwing in the game. Irba Meyer talked about
6:35
Speaker 1: that this week. They'd love to balance it out some more,
6:37
Speaker 1: and especially against this Denver defense. If you get to
6:41
Speaker 1: third and eight plus and all of a sudden you're
6:44
Speaker 1: in certain passing situations, it's gonna be a long day
6:47
Speaker 1: for those times you've grabbed the hammer that I've been
6:49
Speaker 1: banging all week long. Do you know the numbers? So
6:52
Speaker 1: since the start of the twenty nineteen season, Jaguars quarterbacks
6:55
Speaker 1: and there have been once through five of them have
6:58
Speaker 1: thrown the ball more than thirty five times in a
7:00
Speaker 1: game seventeen times. Do you know what? The record is
7:02
Speaker 1: not good? One in sixteen. That's one in sixteen. It
7:05
Speaker 1: just it screams for run the ball, Run the ball,
7:08
Speaker 1: run the ball. If they can run, they can win.
7:10
Speaker 1: If they have to throw the ball more than thirty
7:12
Speaker 1: five times. The numbers say they won't. The record is
7:17
Speaker 1: the record game that good? In the other games probably better,
7:25
Speaker 1: It is better. But your point is exactly, if they
7:28
Speaker 1: throw that much UM, at least six games better if
7:32
Speaker 1: they throw that much their intro. I don't think they
7:35
Speaker 1: wanted to throw that much. I think they got in
7:37
Speaker 1: a situation where they were committing penalties. And I've been
7:40
Speaker 1: banging that drum all week. Let's have a clean first
7:44
Speaker 1: half to see if we can figure out how good
7:46
Speaker 1: this team really is or not. I have no idea
7:48
Speaker 1: what they can do offensively, because you haven't seen him
7:51
Speaker 1: run the offense. When you're in second and fourteen, you're
7:54
Speaker 1: throwing into the teeth of the defense. And as we said,
7:56
Speaker 1: against this defense, if you do that, uh ten nothing
8:00
Speaker 1: against this defense is going to turn into seventeen nothing.
8:02
Speaker 1: Don't get behind the method. They've won seven games over
8:08
Speaker 1: that time span when they didn't throw the ball through time,
8:12
Speaker 1: so it is significantly matter. Absolutely. I was told there
8:14
Speaker 1: would be no math this morning. Okay, worry about the English?
8:18
Speaker 1: Well yeah, right. And finally our final thought. Our first
8:21
Speaker 1: big thing today was all the noise around Urban Meyer.
8:24
Speaker 1: And there's always going to be noise around Urban Meyer.
8:28
Speaker 1: We knew that coming in Brian. It's always going to
8:30
Speaker 1: be the case, right or wrong. That's what it is.
8:32
Speaker 1: Until he wins a playoff game or Super Bowl, people
8:37
Speaker 1: are always going to say, hey, this college job needs
8:41
Speaker 1: that college coach is one of the best college coaches
8:43
Speaker 1: in recent memory. Hall of Famer um. And until he
8:47
Speaker 1: establishes himself at this level, people are gonna want it.
8:50
Speaker 1: They will never go away. He's got to know that.
8:52
Speaker 1: When he wins the super Bowl, yeah, goes away. I
8:56
Speaker 1: don't know that it will go away then. I mean
8:59
Speaker 1: for him, he's always going to be associated with, you know,
9:02
Speaker 1: the big college job. USC is a big college job. Um.
9:07
Speaker 1: Some of my favorite Urban Meyer press conference moments are
9:10
Speaker 1: when he's in situations like that because when he's asked about, well, well,
9:14
Speaker 1: what are the critics saying about you? Etcetera. Look, he
9:17
Speaker 1: knows what people say about him, and it was funny.
9:22
Speaker 1: I truly believe because I've heard from in the back
9:25
Speaker 1: he really doesn't read. Every coach says they don't read well.
9:28
Speaker 1: Most coaches you read, but he really doesn't. Because I
9:31
Speaker 1: think he's gotten to the point of, look, hey, he's
9:34
Speaker 1: got enough money, would have to worry about it and
9:36
Speaker 1: be I don't think he cares. I think he knows
9:39
Speaker 1: what they're gonna say. I think he knows what his
9:41
Speaker 1: truth is. He can separate it for him. What does
9:43
Speaker 1: it matter? What you know? Egg salad dot com sets right?
9:47
Speaker 1: And you know, there was a moment some years ago,
9:50
Speaker 1: I'm guessing when it was early in Ohio state. He
9:52
Speaker 1: had just come off the Florida thing, was working at
9:55
Speaker 1: ESPN for a year, and then goes back to there
9:58
Speaker 1: was a few things that he read were like, you
10:00
Speaker 1: know what, what? Why am I even worried about this?
10:02
Speaker 1: I mean, that's so far off base that I just
10:05
Speaker 1: need to block it all out altogether. Well, and look,
10:07
Speaker 1: you hit on it. I mean, it's professional football. It's
10:08
Speaker 1: about the money, right, He's got lots of it, and
10:10
Speaker 1: there's more that's probably guaranteed to him in his contract.
10:14
Speaker 1: This lift is so big it's almost like you must
10:18
Speaker 1: turn it off, right whether you do or you must
10:20
Speaker 1: turn it off because you're never going to make people
10:23
Speaker 1: happy until you're winning week to week and that's not
10:25
Speaker 1: what this formula is this year. So just turn it off.
10:28
Speaker 1: Don't care. You got the money count it when you
10:30
Speaker 1: go home, work when you're here, and forget what people say. Yes,
10:35
Speaker 1: that's right, you have to. That's it, because you're never
10:37
Speaker 1: gonna make everybody happy. You just gotta focus and move forward.
10:40
Speaker 1: And that's what the Jaguars planning to do this weekend.
10:42
Speaker 1: Week number two is the Denver Broncos Come to t

13:26
Speaker 1: Here we are finally in week number two and after
13:30
Speaker 1: all this hype and speculation and offseason talk, we're at
13:34
Speaker 1: it now, James here, we are here, we are We're
13:37
Speaker 1: in it. One JP to another, JP, how are we
13:39
Speaker 1: doing doing well? Thanks for coming on this morning. And
13:42
Speaker 1: it didn't really go as planned for the Jaguars in
13:45
Speaker 1: week number one. You know, there were some early fits
13:49
Speaker 1: and starts in the game, they got behind and couldn't
13:51
Speaker 1: rally back. You know, the having to bounce back is
13:55
Speaker 1: one thing, but having to bounce back against the Broncos
13:57
Speaker 1: team that's built like they are is an What kind
14:00
Speaker 1: of challenge lies ahead this week? James, JP? Very different
14:05
Speaker 1: from what they faced with the Lovey Smith defense with
14:07
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. You know, you and I were both
14:09
Speaker 1: there at the game, and that's a defense that you know,
14:12
Speaker 1: even Trevor Lawrence said, they're not gonna try to hide
14:14
Speaker 1: a lot of things from me. They're gonna go out there.
14:16
Speaker 1: They know what they're doing. They don't disguise a bunch
14:18
Speaker 1: and love he does that, so they play fast. It
14:20
Speaker 1: is a different world with vic Fanjoe, who many around
14:23
Speaker 1: the league. When you talk to him, they'll tell you
14:25
Speaker 1: one of the best defensive minds on the planet. He
14:28
Speaker 1: disguises all sorts of things. He hides things, he brings
14:31
Speaker 1: pressure different ways. And that's just not even mentioning the
14:34
Speaker 1: talent that they have in the secondary in the past rush.
14:38
Speaker 1: The health of Bradley Chubb rushing opposite of Von Miller
14:40
Speaker 1: is gonna be something to keep an eye on this week.
14:42
Speaker 1: They're gonna know more today after he practices practice on
14:46
Speaker 1: a limited basis with that ankle issue that held him
14:49
Speaker 1: out of Week one. But if he's healthy, you know,
14:51
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence was under pressure I think thirty percent of
14:54
Speaker 1: the time against the Texans that could go up against
14:58
Speaker 1: this pass rush that the Houston that the ever profits
15:00
Speaker 1: that you know, James, we are all enamored with Trevor
15:05
Speaker 1: Lawrence for a lot of reasons, and he certainly earns
15:07
Speaker 1: the sort of respect that that we're giving him. Do
15:11
Speaker 1: you listen to his news conferences and do you do
15:14
Speaker 1: you hear a young quarterback that sounds different than other
15:16
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks that you've covered. I mean, he just seems
15:19
Speaker 1: like he was made to play this position and to
15:22
Speaker 1: do it at a level that will eventually take him
15:24
Speaker 1: to the top exactly. And you know it's funny. I
15:28
Speaker 1: saw a tweet from Tyron Matthew, who had nothing to
15:30
Speaker 1: do with the opener, right he was, you know, inactive
15:34
Speaker 1: for his own game with the Chiefs and one of
15:35
Speaker 1: the better safeties and all of football, and you know
15:38
Speaker 1: he watched the postgame press conference and said, you know,
15:41
Speaker 1: you know, I thought the world of Trevor Lawrence afterwards.
15:44
Speaker 1: And that's what I got with all the times that
15:46
Speaker 1: I've spoken to him, and I was in that press
15:48
Speaker 1: conference after the game in Houston. You know, when you
15:50
Speaker 1: talk to people around the league, this kind of tell you,
15:52
Speaker 1: guys like, you know, he just gets it right, he
15:54
Speaker 1: just knows, you know, how how to go about his
15:57
Speaker 1: business at the position, and you know they ever knew
16:00
Speaker 1: anything was gonna be too big for him. I remember
16:02
Speaker 1: talking to Darryl Bebo for a while after a training
16:06
Speaker 1: camp practice this past training camp, and he was just like,
16:08
Speaker 1: you know, he's the face of college football for three years.
16:10
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing's gonna be too big for him. He
16:12
Speaker 1: gets kind of everything, and you could see that in
16:15
Speaker 1: the way he carries himself and the way he goes
16:17
Speaker 1: about his business. Watching the game, I didn't think he
16:20
Speaker 1: played all that poorly. I mean being there when you
16:22
Speaker 1: have holding penalties, procedural penalties, twelve men in the huddle.
16:25
Speaker 1: I mean he did make some mistakes, and every rookie
16:28
Speaker 1: quarterback does, but I thought he played pretty well for
16:31
Speaker 1: being under pressure quite a bit. I'd like to see
16:32
Speaker 1: them run play action more. He was really good in
16:35
Speaker 1: play action against the Texans. I'd like to see them
16:37
Speaker 1: do that more moving forward with him. A lot of
16:39
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks. That keeps you comfortable, right. It allows you
16:43
Speaker 1: to have your steps down, to have the way the
16:45
Speaker 1: play is gonna go down. Because everything from the way
16:48
Speaker 1: you fake the handoff and play action, everything has a place.
16:51
Speaker 1: There's less time to drift left time to do it
16:53
Speaker 1: make some mistakes. I like to see that some more,
16:55
Speaker 1: But from a mental side of things, you could tell
16:57
Speaker 1: it wasn't too big. I was told the morning of
16:59
Speaker 1: the Aim that you know, he was calumn, He's ready.
17:02
Speaker 1: You know, he was a little butterflies. But that's with
17:04
Speaker 1: every you know, game that he mentioned that he plays in.
17:07
Speaker 1: I just think he just kind of understands all of it,
17:10
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna be just fine. If you
17:11
Speaker 1: go back and watch that game, there's a lot of
17:13
Speaker 1: times where he was the one that was the calming
17:16
Speaker 1: voice of the offense and he was making his first
17:19
Speaker 1: NFL start James where the Broncos offensively and I guess, Bridgewater,
17:25
Speaker 1: it almost seems like he's the aging veteran now, which
17:29
Speaker 1: I know he's really not. He's not an old guy.
17:31
Speaker 1: But how important is he to it? How does he fit?
17:35
Speaker 1: Can he be the long term guy? And I guess,
17:37
Speaker 1: just where are they offensively? Well? The reason he one
17:40
Speaker 1: this job is is kind of that veteran leadership that
17:43
Speaker 1: he has because you go out and look at the
17:44
Speaker 1: skill positions that they have around Teddy Bridgewater and it
17:48
Speaker 1: is a really really young group. I mean, they're all
17:50
Speaker 1: first and second round picks, which is crazy. You know,
17:53
Speaker 1: the tight ends, all the receivers, the backs, you know,
17:56
Speaker 1: they're all highly drafted, but they're all really young outside
17:59
Speaker 1: of Melvilne Gordon. So what they really do like is
18:02
Speaker 1: that he is that presence, that calming, that leadership side
18:05
Speaker 1: of things to where he runs the show with a
18:07
Speaker 1: lot of youthful talent around him, which you saw in
18:09
Speaker 1: the first game. I wasn't surprised by because I spend
18:12
Speaker 1: a lot of days with him during training camp. Now,
18:14
Speaker 1: the chemistry he had with Jerry Judy stood out throughout
18:17
Speaker 1: camp and you saw it in the opener. Now he's
18:19
Speaker 1: not gonna be with him. But the difference with this
18:22
Speaker 1: receiving corps is they're really deep. Like Tim Patrick might
18:26
Speaker 1: be the best number four receiver in football. When they
18:29
Speaker 1: lost Courtland Sutton last year, Tim Patrick was that big
18:32
Speaker 1: body guy that stepped in for him and didn't have
18:35
Speaker 1: a drop. So then you still have the speedster kJ Handlon,
18:37
Speaker 1: you still have Sutton, which looked for him to get
18:39
Speaker 1: more attention and coming off and a c l himself.
18:42
Speaker 1: He played about the snaps and the opener against the Giants.
18:44
Speaker 1: That's big and then you saw them go to the
18:46
Speaker 1: tight ends. They have both of them. I think the
18:48
Speaker 1: way Teddy runs this is he has so many options
18:50
Speaker 1: with the football. As long as he's smart and sees
18:53
Speaker 1: things pre snap, he's gonna go to the place where
18:55
Speaker 1: he's gonna have the greatest opportunity for success and the
18:58
Speaker 1: least opportunity to turn the up all over. That's what
19:00
Speaker 1: they want him to do with the lack of you know,
19:03
Speaker 1: you know, playmaking abilities sometimes he has, but you saw
19:06
Speaker 1: him go downfield. kJ Hamler dropped a sure fire touchdown
19:09
Speaker 1: on a deep ball that he threw brilliantly. So they
19:12
Speaker 1: showed that he will take probably more shots and some
19:14
Speaker 1: people think, but protecting the football is the name of
19:16
Speaker 1: the game for Teddy Bridgewater and I think he'll do
19:18
Speaker 1: it throughout this year with all the options he has
19:20
Speaker 1: to throw the football too. So the big the Jaguars
19:25
Speaker 1: series James with the Broncos. I wrote piece for Jaguars
19:28
Speaker 1: dot Com that's going up today and if you look
19:30
Speaker 1: back at it going on the way, there have been
19:33
Speaker 1: some big games and they've been decided by a big
19:35
Speaker 1: time player, some guy who is a hero who comes
19:37
Speaker 1: through with a big play um and I would have
19:39
Speaker 1: said that the guy was gonna be Jerry Judy for
19:41
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Right. I think we know who the cast
19:43
Speaker 1: of characters are in Jacksonville, But who's that guy who's
19:46
Speaker 1: the guy who's capable of making the game changing heroic
19:49
Speaker 1: play on their offense? If Jerry Judy isn't available to them,
19:53
Speaker 1: I think it's Coretland Sutton. I mean, I think we
19:55
Speaker 1: very quickly changed or forgot I guess what type of
19:59
Speaker 1: player this was going to be going into last season.
20:02
Speaker 1: I don't think there was a single list put out,
20:05
Speaker 1: you know, on the internet that didn't have Courtland Sutton
20:07
Speaker 1: listed as one of the guys that was going to
20:08
Speaker 1: have a breakout monster season in twenty nineteen. He had
20:11
Speaker 1: a really really good year and I think of just
20:13
Speaker 1: his second NFL season, and then he's missed all of
20:15
Speaker 1: last year. And I've talked to him a lot throughout
20:18
Speaker 1: training camp coming off of this knee injury that was
20:20
Speaker 1: more than an a c L, which is why it
20:21
Speaker 1: took him a little bit longer. It was a lot
20:23
Speaker 1: to get through. But he's a big body, jump ball
20:25
Speaker 1: type of receiver to where it's not a fifty fifty
20:28
Speaker 1: ball when it's thrown up to him, and we saw
20:30
Speaker 1: some of the issues in the secondary with Jacksonville. I
20:33
Speaker 1: think that's the type of player that can go out
20:35
Speaker 1: in the red zone and make a big time play.
20:38
Speaker 1: There are other players that they like to go to.
20:39
Speaker 1: They didn't camp at all, but it was no a
20:41
Speaker 1: fan the former first round pick at the tight end
20:44
Speaker 1: spot where I've talked to Darren Waller, Travis Kelsey, you
20:46
Speaker 1: say this is probably the best young tight end in
20:49
Speaker 1: football right now. He led the Broncos and catches last year.
20:52
Speaker 1: I mean that's pretty good for a young tight end.
20:55
Speaker 1: I think he doesn't have that game changing explosive play
20:58
Speaker 1: like Courtland Sutton, but those are the two options that
21:00
Speaker 1: you're going to see them them go to on offense.
21:02
Speaker 1: James Farmer, NFL Network. I gotta ask and keep seeing
21:06
Speaker 1: the snare drum behind you, what's up with the snare drum?
21:10
Speaker 1: Sha Ja? It's a shade that they're stacked up right.
21:13
Speaker 1: That means we're not playing at all, which is kind
21:15
Speaker 1: of a bummer. But we're a little limited on space
21:17
Speaker 1: here in the studio now than the a K. The
21:19
Speaker 1: basement bedroom that used to be a little jam Session Spot.
21:22
Speaker 1: But now we're we're doing TV down here, which is
21:25
Speaker 1: such a shame. It's the way of the world these days. James,

23:44
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick in for Ashland Sullivan, Brian Sexton, John
23:47
Speaker 1: Ohs you're alongside. It's time now for he will he won't.
23:51
Speaker 1: He might brought to you by move day. Brian get
23:55
Speaker 1: Us started, Um, I think Caleb and Chason will be
23:58
Speaker 1: that the guy with the heroic like Um. You know,
24:02
Speaker 1: this scheme fits him well. And he's a talented guy obviously,
24:05
Speaker 1: was a first round pick. Um. He was all over
24:08
Speaker 1: the place and in the backfield last Sunday in Houston,
24:12
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor turned him inside and out a couple of times. Um,
24:16
Speaker 1: so he'll be Yeah, he won't be fooled like that again.
24:21
Speaker 1: First of all, because Teddy Bridgewater isn't the same sort
24:25
Speaker 1: of of athlete, mobile athlete, explosive athlete that that Tyrod
24:29
Speaker 1: Taylor is. Uh, he might. He might be the lynchpin
24:33
Speaker 1: to the pass rush this year because you saw last
24:36
Speaker 1: year what happened with Josh Allen. I mean, everything slid
24:38
Speaker 1: to Alan's side and he struggled to get to the
24:41
Speaker 1: quarterback because he was facing double team after double team
24:44
Speaker 1: and there was no one that they had to take
24:46
Speaker 1: advantage that they had to take account of. And I
24:49
Speaker 1: think Calavan Jason might be that guy. You might see
24:52
Speaker 1: it as soon as this week. I think the new
24:54
Speaker 1: scheme fits him very very well, Bryan, Thank you very much.
24:59
Speaker 1: John os Well. I went with Trevor Lawrence. Uh well,
25:04
Speaker 1: because I found out very recently. For sure, I thought
25:07
Speaker 1: this is another segment today, So I found out right
25:10
Speaker 1: right before the show that was it was, uh yeah,
25:14
Speaker 1: people do care. Uh he will be under a lot
25:19
Speaker 1: of scrutiny. And the odd thing about the scrutiny, guys, Um,
25:23
Speaker 1: I guess there's gonna be a spotlight on Trevor. But
25:27
Speaker 1: when I read and I get questions, there's all this worry,
25:30
Speaker 1: there's all this oh my goodness, he played you know poorly.
25:34
Speaker 1: It's Sarah. I don't quite get that. Um because uh,
25:39
Speaker 1: he won't. I'm getting he won't. That's the next step
25:42
Speaker 1: in this JP. You go he will he won't. He might, Um,
25:47
Speaker 1: he won't be watching the past rush, even though it's
25:51
Speaker 1: a fierce pass rush. And to me, that was the
25:53
Speaker 1: thing I noticed the most. He gives me the most
25:54
Speaker 1: encouragement against the Houston Texans when he moved, when he
25:59
Speaker 1: got inside the pod get he kept his eyes downfield.
26:02
Speaker 1: I said it multiple times this week. Out of all
26:06
Speaker 1: the stuff, that's the thing way up high. If you're
26:10
Speaker 1: a quarterback and in your first game and you're looking downfield,
26:13
Speaker 1: not looking at the pass rush. Um, there's no other
26:17
Speaker 1: factor that gives you more. Cause I think he's gonna
26:19
Speaker 1: be great than that. Um, he might. You know, he
26:24
Speaker 1: might not throw a pick this week. And I've been
26:26
Speaker 1: saying all week I think he's gonna throw a couple
26:28
Speaker 1: because of Denver. But I just have a feeling that
26:32
Speaker 1: he's going to handle this better. And the Jaguars are
26:34
Speaker 1: gonna right. I didn't mean they're gonna win, but he
26:37
Speaker 1: might not throw a pick. And if he doesn't, boy
26:40
Speaker 1: do they have a shot. So he will, he won't,
26:42
Speaker 1: JP goes he will, he won't, and then he might.
26:45
Speaker 1: So I'll turn it over to you. That's a lot
26:47
Speaker 1: to live up to. It is mine, is Shaquill Griffin.
26:52
Speaker 1: Then we heard from him at the top of the show,
26:55
Speaker 1: and he will get a takeaway this week. Got his
26:59
Speaker 1: hands on one early the game last week, and you know,
27:02
Speaker 1: he said, he's really going to focus on you to
27:05
Speaker 1: make those catches. He said it himself. And in a
27:08
Speaker 1: game like that, they're blowing out in the turnover department
27:11
Speaker 1: three nil, when they had two in their hands and
27:13
Speaker 1: they couldn't bring him home. So Shaq will get the
27:16
Speaker 1: next one that hits his hands. I think he will
27:19
Speaker 1: catch that one and bring it to the Jaguars offense.
27:23
Speaker 1: He won't john that second right, will and thank you,
27:27
Speaker 1: won't let this group stray. You know, there's a lot
27:32
Speaker 1: of new faces, a lot of young guys mixed in
27:35
Speaker 1: with veterans. I mean, there's a lot of new on
27:37
Speaker 1: this defense. Things didn't go all that well last week.
27:40
Speaker 1: I think with that see that you see in his
27:42
Speaker 1: chest right there, will step in and not let a
27:46
Speaker 1: group that's so new and with all the noise outside
27:49
Speaker 1: stray early in the season. I think they'll get back
27:51
Speaker 1: to work and get things going and he'll be a
27:53
Speaker 1: big reason why. And he might be might the last
27:55
Speaker 1: part might be the biggest and most important to issue
28:00
Speaker 1: for this Jaguars secondary. I know they brought in ray
28:02
Speaker 1: Sean Jenkins, no slatch to him. I know they brought
28:05
Speaker 1: in Um Cisco and the draft. They brought in Tyson
28:09
Speaker 1: Campbell in the draft. But to bring him in a
28:12
Speaker 1: guy who's been through it before on a big time
28:15
Speaker 1: defense in Seattle, has seen success firsthand. I think that
28:20
Speaker 1: presence and that experience in successful environments will go a
28:25
Speaker 1: long way to knowing what it looks like back there
28:27
Speaker 1: in the secondary. So that's that's my choice today. Shat Griffin,
28:32
Speaker 1: thank you all right, that's it. Then Joe normally declares
28:37
Speaker 1: a winner. Win Joe, Joe Fortunato, I'm kidding you know,
28:41
Speaker 1: oh John, Well, okay, let's move along. Then we're back
28:43

Speaker 1: Shadrick in for Ashland Sullivan, John Oshan, Brian Sexton, the
30:56
Speaker 1: Jaguars and the Denver Broncos coming up this Sunday o'clock
31:00
Speaker 1: at t I A A Bank Field, the game presented
31:02
Speaker 1: by t I a A Bank and the home opener,
31:06
Speaker 1: and the full capacity crowd expected. We were fired up
31:09
Speaker 1: to be back in the bank in one We're gonna
31:13
Speaker 1: play a segment called Monday's Headlines Today. I love this, Yeah,
31:17
Speaker 1: I do too, so I'll say the headline is better Ryan.
31:22
Speaker 1: It's vague because I can't tell you, like John, whether
31:24
Speaker 1: they're gonna win one big You know, what would that
31:28
Speaker 1: be above the fold top of the page? Hot? What
31:31
Speaker 1: would be like se for the young kids watching today?
31:33
Speaker 1: The newspaper used to be actually printed on newsprint and
31:36
Speaker 1: it it came out and there was a fold, and
31:39
Speaker 1: above the fold were the biggest story. I get the
31:41
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal and my kids say, what, Dad, why
31:42
Speaker 1: do you have this thing delivered? Because I like it
31:45
Speaker 1: um but yet better, because I think they'll be better,
31:48
Speaker 1: significantly better. I don't know whether that equates to a
31:50
Speaker 1: win or not, but I think people walk out and
31:53
Speaker 1: think that was a better football team today. Mine would
31:56
Speaker 1: be back to basics. Cut out the penalty, cut out
32:00
Speaker 1: the mistakes. Caught the ball when he was thrown to you,
32:03
Speaker 1: caught the ball and you had a chance to make it.
32:05
Speaker 1: On defense, Uh, tackled when you had a chance. Do
32:08
