- 1:15Speaker 3: Pete Risco is in South Florida. CBS Sports senior writer,
- 1:19Speaker 3: and I do mean senior.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Hello, Pete.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Well there you go, there's the first shot of the day.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Here's the first shot.
- 1:25Speaker 1: That didn't be long, that didn't take a long, No,
- 1:28Speaker 1: didn't take a long at all.
- 1:29Speaker 2: Jean, How old?
- 1:30Speaker 4: How old are you now?
- 1:30Speaker 1: Pete?
- 1:31Speaker 4: Out of curiosity, I'm being serious on this one.
- 1:33Speaker 2: Sixty three, I'll say this.
- 1:36Speaker 3: You're a.
- 1:38Speaker 4: I don't know if you're a young sixty three or
- 1:39Speaker 4: I'm just getting older. So sixty three seems like not
- 1:42Speaker 4: very old any longer. But let me ask you a question.
- 1:46Speaker 4: Would you have thought you felt that, you know, when
- 1:49Speaker 4: you were back when I was playing, you were what
- 1:51Speaker 4: your mid thirties go it? Did you think you'd feel
- 1:55Speaker 4: as good as you do now and being at sixty three,
- 1:58Speaker 4: because that felt like that felt like ancient back then.
- 2:02Speaker 2: But you know what, though, sixty three is different than
- 2:04Speaker 2: it like when our grandparents were sixty three, they were old. Yes,
- 2:09Speaker 2: you know, not anymore.
- 2:11Speaker 4: The sixties, sixties in the new thirties.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Yeah, And Tony will be saying that until he has
- 2:16Speaker 2: the sixties and he's gonna be saying, well, the seventies
- 2:18Speaker 2: in the new.
- 2:18Speaker 4: Forties is that's my goal at least, Pete. That's why
- 2:21Speaker 4: I'm not trying to take care of myself for any
- 2:24Speaker 4: other reason.
- 2:25Speaker 2: No, absolutely, I mean, look, I feel great and uh,
- 2:28Speaker 2: you know what, I love doing what I'm doing. And
- 2:30Speaker 2: if you love doing what you're doing, it makes it
- 2:32Speaker 2: a lot easier to you know, to keep going and
- 2:34Speaker 2: keep churning it. And you know how this is. We
- 2:36Speaker 2: get into a routine. You do this, this, this, this,
- 2:39Speaker 2: this and this and next thing, you know, you're another
- 2:41Speaker 2: year older, right, I mean, think, well, how old are
- 2:44Speaker 2: you now, Tony fifty two?
- 2:45Speaker 4: Fifty two? No, I'm fifty two. Relaxer, Pete.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Yeah, but you got to add in, uh, add in
- 2:51Speaker 2: those football years though.
- 2:53Speaker 4: That's like, I think part part of my body's fifty two,
- 2:57Speaker 4: another part is seventy five.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Just get a couple of new parts put in. You're
- 3:04Speaker 2: like a young kid. Now.
- 3:05Speaker 1: I'm happy.
- 3:06Speaker 4: I'm happy. I hope part of me stays like as
- 3:08Speaker 4: a teenager. And that's my mental and my fun fund meter.
- 3:14Speaker 1: You don't want to go.
- 3:16Speaker 2: I don't want to always think about that. I'm sixty
- 3:18Speaker 2: three and I'm still like a seventeen year old idiot.
- 3:20Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to stay there.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's that's what you know.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Yeah. Problem, I don't need to grow I don't need
- 3:26Speaker 1: to grow up. Although you said.
- 3:29Speaker 4: Doing what you love, I think I agree with you
- 3:32Speaker 4: helps you stay young. However, I think there's probably some
- 3:35Speaker 4: Jaguar fans that think what you love to do you're
- 3:38Speaker 4: not very good at. After picking the Jags go nine
- 3:42Speaker 4: and eight this year and the Texans go nine and eight,
- 3:44Speaker 4: and for the Texans to win the division, we're gonna
- 3:46Speaker 4: have to talk about that.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Wow, that is uh, that's a.
- 3:51Speaker 2: That's an early pick that I did. They told me
- 3:53Speaker 2: to do that on a Monday, and I did it
- 3:55Speaker 2: on Monday night and went through the games and picked
- 3:57Speaker 2: them and uh and and then I came up with that,
- 4:00Speaker 2: And it's an early pick. It might not be the
- 4:02Speaker 2: one I made.
- 4:02Speaker 4: Well, we usually don't pick that. We usually don't call
- 4:04Speaker 4: out the schedule until right before opening, So the Monday
- 4:08Speaker 4: before the opening weekend week, which is is that next week,
- 4:12Speaker 4: we'rell be next week, then next.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Week, but we might have to move that up.
- 4:18Speaker 4: Based on pete nine and eight, that's a far cry
- 4:20Speaker 4: last year you had them like thirteen and four, number
- 4:23Speaker 4: one seed.
- 4:24Speaker 2: But the weird thing is Tony. I actually think this
- 4:27Speaker 2: is a better team.
- 4:28Speaker 4: But you obviously you don't because you think they're only
- 4:31Speaker 4: going to win the game.
- 4:31Speaker 2: I think the division is a lot tougher. You know,
- 4:35Speaker 2: we went into last year thinking they were going to
- 4:37Speaker 2: be lamps in that division.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Right, yeah, we did, and now you look at it.
- 4:42Speaker 2: I think it's a tough division. You got six games
- 4:45Speaker 2: that are going to be really tough games to win
- 4:48Speaker 2: home and away. So it's not the layups. It was
- 4:51Speaker 2: a year ago. That That's kind of why I did
- 4:53Speaker 2: it the way I did it. But I'm not done
- 4:55Speaker 2: making that product. That's not my official prediction. That was
- 4:57Speaker 2: just a quick cos that's official.
- 4:59Speaker 4: That's that's on the internet. That's on x that's official.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Here is Pete trying to back up. Yes, unbelieve.
- 5:06Speaker 4: That's unlike Pete too. Usually Pete stand up, put out.
- 5:10Speaker 1: A stand up guy.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Then on Monday night, I probably will still stand close
- 5:14Speaker 2: to it.
- 5:14Speaker 4: Pete, did you put your let me ask you a
- 5:16Speaker 4: question when you did it on Monday night. I'm not
- 5:19Speaker 4: sure why Monday night makes it any less credible, But
- 5:21Speaker 4: on Monday night, when you did that and you push
- 5:24Speaker 4: send to your editor or whoever, puts that up for
- 5:27Speaker 4: you. You signed your name on it. Now, if you're trying
- 5:30Speaker 4: to back off, just sit, be a man and own
- 5:33Speaker 4: it that you are backing out of what you signed
- 5:35Speaker 4: your name on.
- 5:36Speaker 2: I'm not backing out, But what happens if somebody gets
- 5:38Speaker 2: hurt in the next two weeks?
- 5:39Speaker 1: No, No, that's not so okay.
- 5:42Speaker 2: My official prediction on every team is made the day
- 5:47Speaker 2: of the Thursday night game. That's when we do so first.
- 5:51Speaker 4: So, but right now where everything sins just signing off
- 5:55Speaker 4: on nine and eight.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Texans going nine and eight as.
- 5:58Speaker 4: Well, and the Texans winning the division.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Yes, wow, Okay.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Most people have the Texans going twelve and five or whatever.
- 6:08Speaker 2: I at least had some rational thinking on that team.
- 6:13Speaker 1: We'll get to this again a little bit later.
- 6:16Speaker 3: I'm just saying I've been opening salvo jaguarsion.
- 6:21Speaker 4: I have the Jags winning the division.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Of course you do, you're a pump on waiver.
- 6:25Speaker 4: No, I think I think they go eleven and six.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Pretty good year. That's a pretty good year.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Since since you boy, you must have done some work
- 6:33Speaker 2: over the weekend and fixed the interior and the offensive line.
- 6:36Speaker 2: I guess.
- 6:38Speaker 3: Hey, by the way, we'll get to that offensive line
- 6:43Speaker 3: and all that coming up.
- 6:45Speaker 1: This is a this is.
- 6:46Speaker 3: A weird game to analyze coming out of it. You
- 6:49Speaker 3: can't there's all the backups play.
- 6:51Speaker 4: I don't know how to say this without just being transparent. Honest,
- 6:57Speaker 4: what are you evaluating? You're evaluating how the back half
- 6:59Speaker 4: your roster is going to be. There's nothing else that
- 7:03Speaker 4: you can really look at and say make a judgment
- 7:07Speaker 4: of what type of team this is gonna be. Okay,
- 7:10Speaker 4: we know what type of team if something God forbid
- 7:12Speaker 4: happens to Trevor Lawrence, Okay, I feel good.
- 7:14Speaker 1: We have a good backup.
- 7:15Speaker 4: Great, not a position you really want to ever find
- 7:18Speaker 4: out about how good that person is. We saw a
- 7:22Speaker 4: handful of snaps from Anton Harrison, who confirmed I think
- 7:25Speaker 4: he's the best offensivelignment. I think that's no different because
- 7:28Speaker 4: he's the best pass blocker. I want to see him
- 7:31Speaker 4: get more physical in the run game. Still, but he's
- 7:33Speaker 4: a very good player. Okay, great. We kind of knew that,
- 7:35Speaker 4: didn't we before his eight or nine snaps on Saturday night.
- 7:41Speaker 1: As we Cleveland played. He's a starter.
- 7:44Speaker 4: I think watching it live he looked better than he
- 7:48Speaker 4: did in practice because I thought in practice on Wednesday,
- 7:50Speaker 4: it was really hobbled, limping. There was a noticeable limp,
- 7:54Speaker 4: So I thought, okay, that was better. Outside of that,
- 7:58Speaker 4: would you like okay, Tank, I'll tell you that positive
- 8:03Speaker 4: thing that came out of that game for me that
- 8:06Speaker 4: can translate into the regular season was Tank Bigsby if
- 8:11Speaker 4: he plays like that, And I love what Doug impressed did.
- 8:15Speaker 4: They purposely threw him the ball because what was one
- 8:17Speaker 4: of the knocks on him as a weakness is his
- 8:20Speaker 4: hands and him be able to be a part of
- 8:22Speaker 4: the passing game. Well, they purposely said, we're gonna build
- 8:25Speaker 4: some confidence, We're gonna get him going, and he I
- 8:28Speaker 4: thought he did a great job of the pass game.
- 8:30Speaker 4: I think he's a very good downhill runner. He runs
- 8:34Speaker 4: through tackles, he finishes. That was the positive, Like, Okay,
- 8:38Speaker 4: I feel way better about our backfield after Saturday night,
- 8:42Speaker 4: knowing that you have Etn and Bigsby with probably Durnis
- 8:46Speaker 4: Johnson is your third. Because the rookie, I don't think
- 8:48Speaker 4: I think they. I think you have to put the
- 8:50Speaker 4: rookie on IR squad. No, not probus Keilan Robinson. I
- 8:55Speaker 4: think you put him on IR because he has the foot,
- 8:57Speaker 4: he's been in a boot, he's done nothing. How do
- 8:59Speaker 4: you make a judgment whether he can do it or not?
- 9:01Speaker 4: How are you gonna trust him in protection and everything else?
- 9:04Speaker 2: So I plot receiver, the slot receiver had a good
- 9:06Speaker 2: day the other night, Parker.
- 9:07Speaker 4: Yeah, but we already knew that, Like, okay, we knew Parker.
- 9:09Speaker 2: We already know that they're saying coming out of that
- 9:11Speaker 2: game specifically.
- 9:12Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just talking that game, Pete. I mean, yeah,
- 9:16Speaker 4: you know, I'm glad, you know we won. It was
- 9:18Speaker 4: a fine showing. It was, but like it was a
- 9:22Speaker 4: bunch it was.
- 9:23Speaker 3: And then to your point on defense, they were only
- 9:25Speaker 3: what two defensive starters that played.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Chad Mumma was one of.
- 9:28Speaker 4: Those, but he didn't play the position he's gonna start
- 9:30Speaker 4: at inside, that's.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Right, And is he really a starter?
- 9:33Speaker 3: I mean, the strong sideline's the starter though, well, I
- 9:39Speaker 3: mean the time, you're right, Pete, and now you know it.
- 9:43Speaker 2: T almost up to seventy now tony and teams. But
- 9:47Speaker 2: Muma actually did some good things the other night, But
- 9:50Speaker 2: again he's playing against guys are going to be, you know,
- 9:52Speaker 2: taking IDs at the bar later on in another month
- 9:55Speaker 2: and a half, as they tried out what they're gonna do.
- 9:58Speaker 4: That was like, that was like the old fourth preseason game.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Like you got a.
- 10:04Speaker 4: Handful of guys that will be on an NFL roster,
- 10:06Speaker 4: and then you have a bunch of.
- 10:07Speaker 1: Accountants and bartenders and bouncers.
- 10:11Speaker 4: I'm trying to I'm trying to be nicer and saying
- 10:13Speaker 4: we've got smart guys out there, but uh.
- 10:16Speaker 2: I mean, look, it's just it's hard to evaluate it.
- 10:19Speaker 2: And I go back and watch all of them, I
- 10:21Speaker 2: try to, and I'm like watching these I'm like, how
- 10:23Speaker 2: can I evaluate this guy against that guy? If a
- 10:26Speaker 2: starter's playing for a team, he's playing against the guy
- 10:29Speaker 2: that's not going to make the team. How do you
- 10:30Speaker 2: evaluate that. It's hard. It's a hard evaluation. It really is.
- 10:34Speaker 4: Well, and then you can get back up.
- 10:35Speaker 2: But here's the other thing we can we can from
- 10:37Speaker 2: the game the other night. We can do we can
- 10:40Speaker 2: stop the fast track to Canton for Cooper Hodge.
- 10:45Speaker 4: Why because of the one play Pete.
- 10:47Speaker 2: It wasn't great, It wasn't great, Tony. It was just okay, okay.
- 10:51Speaker 4: But like, here's my problem with people evaluating offensive. Oh
- 10:54Speaker 4: here we go like like and it's not Pete. I
- 10:57Speaker 4: know you actually do a good job because I I
- 11:00Speaker 4: you watch the entirety of the tape and you make
- 11:02Speaker 4: an overall judgment. But I even think you were skewed
- 11:05Speaker 4: at times by one or two really bad plays. And
- 11:10Speaker 4: he got beat off right here we're watching it. He
- 11:12Speaker 4: got his hands slapped, he got beat immediately. It was ugly,
- 11:15Speaker 4: it wasn't good. We call it whatever you want, But
- 11:19Speaker 4: you can't make a judgment based on one Okay, that's fine.
- 11:26Speaker 4: I'm not saying. I'm not saying he was great on
- 11:27Speaker 4: Saturday Night. But all I hear is I go Cooper Hodge.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Is this Cooper?
- 11:31Speaker 3: Okay?
- 11:32Speaker 4: He got beat and this isn't the case for Saturday Night,
- 11:35Speaker 4: But he played fifty plus snaps. What if every other
- 11:38Speaker 4: snap was good besides that one?
- 11:40Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I get it, Tony, But I mean the
- 11:42Speaker 2: overall body of work. I thought the week before he
- 11:44Speaker 2: was really good, even though he had some negative plays,
- 11:47Speaker 2: And I thought this week he was just Okay.
- 11:49Speaker 4: Okay, that's fine, But I don't think you throw the
- 11:51Speaker 4: baby out of the bath water. You know, of all
- 11:54Speaker 4: the games I've played in my entire life, Well, let
- 11:59Speaker 4: me say this from calling to the pros where you're
- 12:01Speaker 4: playing against really equal talent, competitive people. I have never
- 12:07Speaker 4: had a perfect game, at least in my standard. I
- 12:11Speaker 4: graded high, did all those things.
- 12:13Speaker 1: What is a perfect game to you? Well, that I
- 12:16Speaker 1: my guy.
- 12:17Speaker 4: Actually, I mean I've had guys not on the stat
- 12:19Speaker 4: sheet before, right, But then you know, perfect technique, perfect footwork,
- 12:24Speaker 4: perfect assignment, perfect aiming points, you know, dominating the individual,
- 12:29Speaker 4: finishing every snap. Like, that's a perfect game if you
- 12:32Speaker 4: want to say what it is and what you should
- 12:33Speaker 4: be striving for. And I think some guys need to
- 12:36Speaker 4: raise the standard of what acceptable is. But for me,
- 12:39Speaker 4: that was like, that's the standard. And I can remember
- 12:43Speaker 4: I remember games, you know where seventy plays, let's say,
- 12:49Speaker 4: and I absolutely just beat the you know what out
- 12:52Speaker 4: of the guy for you know, sixty eight of them
- 12:56Speaker 4: and on you know, a play, you know, get a
- 12:59Speaker 4: late rush, maybe a coverage shack where I get give
- 13:03Speaker 4: up late pressure that ends up in a sack, And.
- 13:05Speaker 1: That's all anyone wants to talk about. Now.
- 13:08Speaker 4: For me, it was miserable the rest of the you know,
- 13:11Speaker 4: the whole night. I'm sitting there looking at one play.
- 13:14Speaker 4: But I also think at that position you have to
- 13:16Speaker 4: take a step back and look at the body of
- 13:17Speaker 4: work before you make judgments, because everyone is going to
- 13:22Speaker 4: get beat at some point. Corners.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Yeah, Plus there's an assignment factor that's when you watch it.
- 13:29Speaker 1: That's exactly right.
- 13:30Speaker 2: The assignment factor on the offensive line is hard to
- 13:34Speaker 2: gauge who's responsible for. But you can tell.
- 13:37Speaker 4: Okay, I'll ask you, okay, who's who's the best offense
- 13:42Speaker 4: offensive tackle? Just say who's the best offensive tackle in football?
- 13:44Speaker 4: Right now?
- 13:45Speaker 2: You think Trent Williams when he's playing, I a.
- 13:48Speaker 4: Would either say Tristan Wurst or or or Trent Williams.
- 13:51Speaker 4: I think those are my those are my or Lane
- 13:52Speaker 4: Johnson right tackle. I was thinking left more. But Lane
- 13:55Speaker 4: Johnson's up there too. Is another great one, great player,
- 14:00Speaker 4: I mean just fabulous like great players. I guarantee I
- 14:04Speaker 4: can go turn on tape and show you get them
- 14:05Speaker 4: getting beat.
- 14:07Speaker 2: I know.
- 14:09Speaker 4: I know now me watching that, I understand that you're
- 14:13Speaker 4: gonna have a bad set or things are gonna happen,
- 14:15Speaker 4: or a guy is a great rush you're playing against
- 14:17Speaker 4: a great player, like he just beats you. That doesn't
- 14:20Speaker 4: change the fact that they're great and they dominate football games.
- 14:25Speaker 4: But for whatever reason, an offensive line more than anything,
- 14:28Speaker 4: probably corner after that.
- 14:30Speaker 1: We have this like.
- 14:32Speaker 4: We have we have this biases to look at and
- 14:34Speaker 4: watch the game and like, oh, no, someone got beat,
- 14:39Speaker 4: he had a bad game. No, Now, you don't want
- 14:42Speaker 4: to get beat at the wrong time, and you don't
- 14:43Speaker 4: want to get beat right away. And that's what happened
- 14:46Speaker 4: with the Cooper. It makes it even worse, but it happens.
- 14:50Speaker 4: And so I'm not I'm not defending Pete. I'm not
- 14:54Speaker 4: defending saying he played great and yes, this is like,
- 14:59Speaker 4: this is why you got to be careful anytime you
- 15:01Speaker 4: watch football, especially this time of year, in the preseason,
- 15:05Speaker 4: even camp.
- 15:07Speaker 2: Last week, you were saying out Grady, I thought he played.
- 15:09Speaker 5: No.
- 15:09Speaker 4: My point is that doesn't mean I was ready to
- 15:11Speaker 4: anoint him as the starter Pete. I'm just saying, like,
- 15:14Speaker 4: I still think after two games, Cooper Hodges has the
- 15:17Speaker 4: ability to be play at a starting level. Uh, he's
- 15:22Speaker 4: a starting level caliber type of player in the NFL.
- 15:25Speaker 4: Like I think that's I think that's what he will
- 15:28Speaker 4: be and I think he can get there at some
- 15:31Speaker 4: point this year. I'm not saying I would start him
- 15:34Speaker 4: week one.
- 15:35Speaker 1: I'm not.
- 15:35Speaker 4: I've never said that I don't think he's one of.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Your best five, which goes back to the nine and
- 15:41Speaker 2: eight prediction. The middle of the offensive line isn't worry.
- 15:45Speaker 4: Well, let's well, we can we can we can debate
- 15:48Speaker 4: that and talk about that, because I don't think I
- 15:50Speaker 4: think you and I are going to be on the
- 15:51Speaker 4: same page there. My overall point is this time of year,
- 15:55Speaker 4: the tendency of the media and fans is to make
- 16:00Speaker 4: these statements to these definitive black and white statements good, bad, great, terrible,
- 16:08Speaker 4: And I don't think I think we saw it last year.
- 16:09Speaker 4: I'll give you a perfect example. All of training camp,
- 16:11Speaker 4: all I heard about was how Calvin Ridley was the
- 16:13Speaker 4: second coming of Jimmy Smith.
- 16:16Speaker 1: That's all I was reported.
- 16:19Speaker 2: Like.
- 16:20Speaker 4: And this isn't a knockings Calvin Ridley. I said it
- 16:22Speaker 4: at the time. I said, you guys are crazy to
- 16:25Speaker 4: even make that comparison. And would anyone after the season
- 16:29Speaker 4: last year? Did Calvin Ridly have a fine season over
- 16:32Speaker 4: one thousand?
- 16:33Speaker 1: Yes?
- 16:34Speaker 4: Is he anywhere close to a dominant number one receiver?
- 16:37Speaker 1: No?
- 16:38Speaker 4: Is he anywhere even close to what Jimmy Smith was
- 16:40Speaker 4: for this organization? No, but Pete, that was the talk
- 16:43Speaker 4: all of camp.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Well, and somebody compared him. Somebody I know very well
- 16:47Speaker 2: compared him to a cross between Jimmy Smith and Marvin Harris.
- 16:50Speaker 3: I mean, my goodness, Wow, We've got plenty ahead of course,
- 16:55Speaker 3: second hour coming up. We've got your fanatics, fan questions.
- 16:58Speaker 3: We'll keep it real as always. Who've got some offensive
- 17:03Speaker 3: line talk? Pete's taking shots at me. I'm ready to
- 17:06Speaker 3: go right now. We've got a long time ahead to
- 17:08Speaker 3: take care of this tonight. Jags fans want customize Jaggs

- 17:20Speaker 3: It's Jaguars Happy Hour presented by Jet Home Loans.
- 17:30Speaker 5: The number one goal is to obviously, you know, keep
- 17:32Speaker 5: your quarterback clean. The second thing is to be able
- 17:35Speaker 5: to you know, run the football a little bit with
- 17:37Speaker 5: some success. And and even though you're not going into
- 17:40Speaker 5: these games you know game planning, you still want to
- 17:43Speaker 5: have that success. And then just you know, your training
- 17:45Speaker 5: camp rules kind of take over in you know, protection game,
- 17:49Speaker 5: run game things like that. But you know, play physical
- 17:56Speaker 5: control the line of scrimmer as best you can, no
- 17:58Speaker 5: matter who you know. Who lines up on the other side.
- 18:01Speaker 5: I can't control, you know, Atlanta, but just just see
- 18:05Speaker 5: the continuity, you know, the unity with those five or
- 18:09Speaker 5: six guys will be out there.
- 18:10Speaker 3: Head coach Doug Peterson earlier today discussing what he wants
- 18:14Speaker 3: to see out of the offensive line this week, their
- 18:17Speaker 3: last opportunity to get things going before Week one in Miami.
- 18:22Speaker 3: Welcome Back as Jaguars Happy Hour presented by Jet Home
- 18:25Speaker 3: Loans or on tentin Xcel, Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube
- 18:29Speaker 3: JP Shadwick with Tony Bisselli from the Miller Electric Center,
- 18:32Speaker 3: the Hundai Studios and Pete Presco down in South Florida,
- 18:37Speaker 3: and this hopefully will be the opportunity to have the
- 18:40Speaker 3: starting offensive line out there in a game for the
- 18:43Speaker 3: first time this preseason together.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Week one, there were three of them. Last week there
- 18:48Speaker 1: were two of them Pete.
- 18:49Speaker 3: So that continuity and we'll see it hopefully this Friday
- 18:54Speaker 3: night in Atlanta.
- 18:56Speaker 2: Well, they need to work together, and they need to
- 18:57Speaker 2: get into a game together, just even if it's only
- 19:00Speaker 2: for you know, handful of plays or whatever they play,
- 19:04Speaker 2: because it's nice to take the field in a real game.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Having done a little and again it's a preseason game,
- 19:11Speaker 2: so it's not that not that important. It's not the
- 19:13Speaker 2: same thing, clearly, but you'd like to see him get
- 19:15Speaker 2: some work together. And I think that's good because that,
- 19:19Speaker 2: let's be real, if everything about that team the biggest
- 19:22Speaker 2: concern right now is the offensive line, I don't think
- 19:24Speaker 2: there's any question about that.
- 19:26Speaker 4: Well, they're gonna play I mean everything I'm hearing at
- 19:29Speaker 4: least I heard it. Half yeah, two full quarters.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Well that's good. They need that.
- 19:37Speaker 1: I mean I would agree.
- 19:38Speaker 2: You played, you played offensive line. How important was it
- 19:41Speaker 2: for you to get some work with the guy who's
- 19:42Speaker 2: going to be playing next to you?
- 19:44Speaker 4: That that all depended and I mean the serious early
- 19:49Speaker 4: I think a lot. You know, by the you know,
- 19:51Speaker 4: the end of our run, Pete here, I mean Ben
- 19:54Speaker 4: Coleman and I had played together for three or four
- 19:56Speaker 4: years next to each other, So you know, did we
- 19:59Speaker 4: need it as many reps as we probably got? I
- 20:02Speaker 4: mean we if I go back to think of four
- 20:04Speaker 4: preseason game, we played two series a quarter and a
- 20:09Speaker 4: half to a half game two depending on how it
- 20:12Speaker 4: went the whole half, plus the first drive coming out
- 20:17Speaker 4: in the third quarter. Because Tom wanted to make sure
- 20:19Speaker 4: we knew what it was like coming out of half
- 20:20Speaker 4: that never understood how to do that. And then you know,
- 20:25Speaker 4: then probably you know, six to ten plays in the.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Fourth preseason game. Now I think that was overkill.
- 20:34Speaker 2: Yeah, but you will. And here's the other difference, though, Tony,
- 20:36Speaker 2: you guys actually repped in pads in practice.
- 20:39Speaker 1: Well, I was gonna say that.
- 20:41Speaker 4: And that's on top of four weeks of two a days,
- 20:46Speaker 4: six days a week, full pads.
- 20:50Speaker 2: So how many times has this offensive line not enough?
- 20:54Speaker 4: That's why I'm all for playing a whole half exactly.
- 20:57Speaker 2: I'm with you, I'm with you, play them. Yeah, let
- 21:00Speaker 2: him get some reps, you know, so you can know,
- 21:04Speaker 2: you know, Morrison, the guards know when when they get
- 21:07Speaker 2: off the double the tackles, no one has time to
- 21:08Speaker 2: get off of that.
- 21:09Speaker 4: Yeah, just timing, timing, communication and how it just reps.
- 21:14Speaker 4: I was talking to Tom Moore, who's with Tampa eighty
- 21:18Speaker 4: three years old, still coaching star with the Steelers. Was
- 21:21Speaker 4: the quarterback coach for and coordinator for the Colts when
- 21:26Speaker 4: Peyton Manning, I mean Tom bores book, legendary coach. Him
- 21:31Speaker 4: and I were talking about this in the game before
- 21:33Speaker 4: the game against Tampa and and I was telling we
- 21:38Speaker 4: were talking about how much camp has changed, and everything's
- 21:41Speaker 4: changed since he's been in the league, which is a
- 21:42Speaker 4: lot fifty plus years. He's seen everything. And I've said
- 21:47Speaker 4: always that offensive line is a position of repetition that
- 21:51Speaker 4: you have to have reps to get better. I think
- 21:54Speaker 4: everything in life that way, But even the offensive line
- 21:58Speaker 4: is critical because what are your what you're asking guys
- 22:00Speaker 4: to do. One is not a natural thing you do
- 22:04Speaker 4: on a daily basis, Like, no one's going backwards. You know,
- 22:09Speaker 4: setting and the movements and everything to you. You're typically
- 22:13Speaker 4: blocking guys who are better athletes, some of the premier athletes,
- 22:19Speaker 4: and so to do that effectively, and then you have
- 22:22Speaker 4: to coordinate with across at least five guys, sometimes six
- 22:25Speaker 4: or seven with tight ends the entire scheme. So to
- 22:28Speaker 4: do that effectively, you can't train by yourself. To do that,
- 22:33Speaker 4: you need repetition by yourself. You have to rep your
- 22:37Speaker 4: personal technique. But then you need repetitions as a group
- 22:41Speaker 4: going through drills, game situations, and games to get you
- 22:46Speaker 4: ready for when it counts. Now, do I think we
- 22:50Speaker 4: need it as much as we used to get? No?
- 22:54Speaker 4: Do I think they get enough now?
- 22:56Speaker 1: No?
- 22:56Speaker 4: I think there's a happy medium in there somewhere, and
- 22:59Speaker 4: I don't have the exact number, but the reality is
- 23:03Speaker 4: these guys get so few real reps. Like you get
- 23:09Speaker 4: seven on seven. You can get timing of the passing
- 23:11Speaker 4: game with no pads on a helmet.
- 23:13Speaker 1: And you can do all that and you can be productive.
- 23:18Speaker 4: You can't do that without pads on as an offensive
- 23:21Speaker 4: lineman because it's just not real.
- 23:23Speaker 1: It's not gonna be at.
- 23:24Speaker 4: The same velocity and violence and physicality and all those things,
- 23:29Speaker 4: and you're not gonna have the same leverage, or you're
- 23:30Speaker 4: not gonna have to have the same leverage, because you know,
- 23:34Speaker 4: you lose something when you're not finishing blocks, and you're
- 23:37Speaker 4: not gonna have that finishing mentality. You're not gonna have
- 23:39Speaker 4: the timing getting up to the next level. The only
- 23:42Speaker 4: way you do that is live. The only way you
- 23:44Speaker 4: do that is full speed. And this group, and not
- 23:49Speaker 4: just this group, but across the league have so few
- 23:51Speaker 4: opportunities to do that. I mean, you look at last
- 23:54Speaker 4: week against Tampa. JBI was in at all the practices,
- 24:00Speaker 4: but I believe Monday and Tuesday, if I'm not mistaken,
- 24:03Speaker 4: we're more just helmets and shells.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit.
- 24:08Speaker 6: And then Wednesday, Wednesday when the Bucks showed up, was
- 24:12Speaker 6: full pads Thursday, which I still don't understand and I'm
- 24:18Speaker 6: not being critical, I literally don't understand what the purpose
- 24:20Speaker 6: of this is.
- 24:21Speaker 4: And then Thursday against the Bucks you're in helmets only
- 24:24Speaker 4: with spiders, which ends up being somewhere between a walkthrough
- 24:28Speaker 4: and full speed pace. I'm not sure what you get
- 24:31Speaker 4: out of that. I mean, you get mental reps and
- 24:33Speaker 4: assignment and so, and then you have a game which
- 24:36Speaker 4: none of the starters played it for the most part.
- 24:39Speaker 4: So how many real reps did that offensive line get
- 24:44Speaker 4: going full speed against a defense working on their craft?
- 24:48Speaker 1: Not very many.
- 24:50Speaker 4: Then you couple that with the fact that you have
- 24:52Speaker 4: Nixon bruises, Ezra Cleveland's missed significant time in camp, Anton
- 24:57Speaker 4: Harrison basically lost the whole Harrison lost a whole week
- 25:00Speaker 4: because of a concussion. So now two fifths of your
- 25:04Speaker 4: offensive line has not been together. And you then think
- 25:08Speaker 4: about last year, what was the what was the narrative
- 25:11Speaker 4: that we were told of why they didn't didn't play
- 25:15Speaker 4: as well as they should have, and why they brought
- 25:17Speaker 4: basically the same group back except for a center is
- 25:20Speaker 4: because they had confidence in their starting five, but they
- 25:22Speaker 4: never were together healthy game. Okay, let's let's let's believe
- 25:29Speaker 4: what they're saying. Okay, I'm in gotcha. Well, that means you.
- 25:32Speaker 1: Need reps those written you're not gonna You're not gonna.
- 25:36Speaker 2: They're gonna get a half of them this week.
- 25:38Speaker 1: Is that enough?
- 25:39Speaker 4: I don't know, but you're not magically gonna show up
- 25:42Speaker 4: at the hard Rock Stadium down in Miami on September
- 25:47Speaker 4: whatever data it is, eight eighth, now it's later seven, uh,
- 25:51Speaker 4: maybe eighth, seventh or eighth eight, eight eighth, September eighth.
- 25:54Speaker 4: You're not all of a sudden gonna show up and switch,
- 25:57Speaker 4: you know, flip the switch and all five of us
- 25:59Speaker 4: are gonna be ready to go hitting in all cylinders.
- 26:01Speaker 1: It just doesn't work that way.
- 26:03Speaker 2: No, it does not. And and and the offensive lineman
- 26:06Speaker 2: nowadays have so many things working against them. To begin
- 26:08Speaker 2: with the fact that they, you know, the college game
- 26:11Speaker 2: has become what it is. It's harder to you know,
- 26:13Speaker 2: run block because they're not. Yeah, and then the fact
- 26:18Speaker 2: that you don't hit I mean, and get the reps
- 26:21Speaker 2: in training camp. I mean, how many days is that?
- 26:23Speaker 2: How many times have they had the pads on since
- 26:25Speaker 2: you got seriously, j but you've been every practice. How
- 26:28Speaker 2: many times they have the pads on?
- 26:29Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there was the first week was the
- 26:31Speaker 3: ramp up week, so none of that. Then they had
- 26:34Speaker 3: about three in a row too a row. The second
- 26:37Speaker 3: week I'd probably say about eight times set and nine
- 26:44Speaker 3: ten times maybe, right, maybe that's maybe.
- 26:47Speaker 4: And then here's the other thing, and this is like,
- 26:49Speaker 4: this is the rules everyone wants to play with. According
- 26:52Speaker 4: to the CBA, every four days you have to give
- 26:54Speaker 4: a full day off.
- 26:56Speaker 1: That's right.
- 26:56Speaker 4: Yeah, you're only allowed to be at the facility for
- 26:58Speaker 4: eleven hours in totality from the time you show up
- 27:01Speaker 4: to the time you're done. You're only on the laud
- 27:04Speaker 4: on the field I think two hours from the time
- 27:06Speaker 4: you walk out to the time you get off. As
- 27:09Speaker 4: far as practice, I mean, you can get out there
- 27:11Speaker 4: early and do your whatever actual practice, actual practice, and they.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Have certain timing on the walk through in the afternoon.
- 27:16Speaker 4: Right then you have But okay, that's men different. So
- 27:19Speaker 4: then and now you're only going to go on pads
- 27:22Speaker 4: a couple times a week, maybe three. So why do
- 27:28Speaker 4: you mean it's hard to develop? It's hard to get ready.
- 27:33Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not blaming the coaches rightly, that's what's bargain.
- 27:37Speaker 2: But by the way, that's why the offensive line play
- 27:39Speaker 2: is bad early in the year, and it's also why
- 27:41Speaker 2: the tackling is bad early in the year.
- 27:44Speaker 4: That's right, because you don't get and I and I
- 27:46Speaker 4: have no proof, and I'm probably gonna get killed for
- 27:48Speaker 4: what I'm about to say, but I believe it, so
- 27:50Speaker 4: I'm as well go with it, go for it. I
- 27:52Speaker 4: think you have more soft injuries now than you ever
- 27:56Speaker 4: had when I played. I have no data to back
- 27:59Speaker 4: it up, but that's the sense I get and the
- 28:01Speaker 4: reason I believe that is, and I've had conversation with
- 28:04Speaker 4: several other people across the lague who believe the same thing,
- 28:07Speaker 4: is because you don't train in a manner that prepares
- 28:12Speaker 4: you to go play sixty five snaps, full speed, full explosion,
- 28:20Speaker 4: and I don't think your body is fully ready. And
- 28:23Speaker 4: when that's the case, that's where you get those soft
- 28:27Speaker 4: tissue injuries.
- 28:28Speaker 2: And that is the other part that's my theory.
- 28:30Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true.
- 28:31Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree, I think you have. There's something
- 28:33Speaker 2: to your part of theory. But there's another part of
- 28:35Speaker 2: it as well, the fact that they train at those
- 28:38Speaker 2: high intensity places year round.
- 28:40Speaker 1: Now, maybe that's the true Your body.
- 28:43Speaker 2: Never you know, Okay, you can be in great shape,
- 28:46Speaker 2: but the body never responds and rests the way it's
- 28:48Speaker 2: supposed to rest. I mean, I get it, you have
- 28:51Speaker 2: to be in shape, but Tony, those those places are
- 28:54Speaker 2: intense workouts and sometimes you got to give your body
- 28:56Speaker 2: a little bit of time off, and I think that
- 28:58Speaker 2: contributes to it as well. I think there's but both
- 29:00Speaker 2: both theories are out there, and I agree with probably
- 29:03Speaker 2: both of them combined has has some impact on why
- 29:05Speaker 2: there's so many soft tissue injuries.
- 29:07Speaker 4: So the next I don't know what we have next
- 29:08Speaker 4: segment because I don't ever read anything JP sends out.
- 29:12Speaker 4: Of course, I want to hear from Pete because Pete's
- 29:15Speaker 4: made a couple of comments about this offensive line the interior.
- 29:18Speaker 1: Well, let's do that a little bit later.
- 29:19Speaker 4: I want to understand exactly what he's what he believes
- 29:23Speaker 4: about this group. That'll be our keeping it real, Okayle's
- 29:25Speaker 4: keep it. That'll be that'll be coming up in the
- 29:27Speaker 4: second hour, So love stay tuned for that. We've got
- 29:29Speaker 4: to get to some defensive talk. We haven't touched on
- 29:32Speaker 4: them a whole lot, and what else you want to
- 29:34Speaker 4: see from that group before? How about the starters?
- 29:37Speaker 1: Okay, well we'll come back and dig into that a
- 29:40Speaker 1: little bit more.

- 30:20Speaker 7: so with that, we're trying to align the just before
- 30:24Speaker 7: the presnap win the pre snap is what we talked
- 30:25Speaker 7: about a lot. And then it's also attacking aggressive, and
- 30:28Speaker 7: I think you're able to see that with our player,
- 30:29Speaker 7: how guys are attacking the ball, hit getting hard hits,
- 30:33Speaker 7: and I think it just allows us to play fast too,
- 30:35Speaker 7: and just being able to trust one another out there.
- 30:38Speaker 3: Chet Bloomer, Jaguars linebacker after the game against the Buccaneers
- 30:42Speaker 3: four tackles for him. Welcome back to Shaguars Happy Hour
- 30:45Speaker 3: presented by Jet Home Loans. We're at the Hunday studios
- 30:48Speaker 3: at the Miller Electric Center, or at least Tony Boselli
- 30:52Speaker 3: and I and Pete Prisk goes down in South Florida.
- 30:55Speaker 3: The Jaguars beat the Falcons Friday night, preseason Week three.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Mer City has been stadium down Town Atlanta and the
- 31:02Speaker 3: Jaguars defense. The starters will go, according to Doug Peterson,
- 31:07Speaker 3: on both sides.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Of the ball, about a half.
- 31:09Speaker 3: So the question on defense is what else do you
- 31:14Speaker 3: want to see out of this group before the end
- 31:16Speaker 3: of the preseason.
- 31:17Speaker 2: Pete, Well, I want to see, you know, look, I
- 31:22Speaker 2: want to see the interior guys stop the run and
- 31:26Speaker 2: be good at that. You know, we always focus on
- 31:28Speaker 2: the edge guys, and Tony knows this as well as anybody,
- 31:31Speaker 2: but you do too. If you stop the run, your
- 31:34Speaker 2: pass rush is gonna be that much better. And if
- 31:36Speaker 2: you stop the run, they want to rush with four
- 31:38Speaker 2: guys as much as they can and play man and
- 31:40Speaker 2: man outside. If you can stop the run and put
- 31:42Speaker 2: him in third and long situations, you're gonna have a
- 31:45Speaker 2: heck of a pass rush. So I think that's one
- 31:48Speaker 2: of the most overlooked things that we've talked about. Not
- 31:51Speaker 2: as many people are talking about that because it's not
- 31:53Speaker 2: the sexy part of the game. But we've seen this
- 31:56Speaker 2: team been run on a lot at times over the
- 31:58Speaker 2: last couple of years, and I think that will impact
- 32:02Speaker 2: their pass rush in a big way. They've gotten bigger,
- 32:04Speaker 2: they've gotten more I think more strength upfront now that
- 32:08Speaker 2: they've had and I think that's gonna be important for them.
- 32:10Speaker 2: And you know, getting Armstead back at some point is
- 32:13Speaker 2: gonna be important for them in a big way.
- 32:15Speaker 4: Didn't Armstead just get activated?
- 32:17Speaker 1: He did.
- 32:17Speaker 3: He was out there doing some individual stuff today. But
- 32:20Speaker 3: I don't think he's not playing. It doesn't sound like
- 32:24Speaker 3: week I wouldn't either.
- 32:25Speaker 2: No, he's a week one. He's a week one guy.
- 32:28Speaker 1: So Pete, to your.
- 32:29Speaker 4: Point, I think all I think this is fair to
- 32:33Speaker 4: say all great defenses and really good defenses can do
- 32:37Speaker 4: two things. They can stop the run, and the really
- 32:42Speaker 4: good ones can do with seven in the box. But
- 32:44Speaker 4: they can stop the run whether you have seven or
- 32:46Speaker 4: eight in the box. And they can get pressure with
- 32:49Speaker 4: four so they can play coverage in the back halp.
- 32:51Speaker 4: If you can stop the run and pressure with four guys,
- 32:54Speaker 4: you're gonna be okay. The question is can this group
- 32:57Speaker 4: do that?
- 32:58Speaker 1: Right now?
- 32:58Speaker 4: I'd have more confidence in that and be able to
- 33:00Speaker 4: get pressure with the four up front, assuming Eric Armstead
- 33:05Speaker 4: is healthy, because it mean I think you have three
- 33:08Speaker 4: high quality guys and Josh Allen, Eric Armstead and Trayvon
- 33:13Speaker 4: Walker rushing the passer. The question is is can they
- 33:16Speaker 4: stop the run? Because I think the big question is
- 33:19Speaker 4: on the interior that offensive of that defensive line. Excuse me,
- 33:22Speaker 4: So you got Devon Hamilton coming back after this very
- 33:25Speaker 4: serious scary injury last year. Hard to tell, but yeah,
- 33:29Speaker 4: I mean it looks more like himself. We'll see what
- 33:32Speaker 4: it's like.
- 33:33Speaker 2: When he wasn't anything like himself last year.
- 33:36Speaker 4: No, that's what I'm saying.
- 33:37Speaker 2: He had a serious injury, right, He probably shouldn't come back.
- 33:40Speaker 4: It was scary.
- 33:42Speaker 1: Obviously.
- 33:42Speaker 4: There's questions about Roy Robinson Harris. He was he was
- 33:47Speaker 4: had some issue coming into the camp. I don't think
- 33:50Speaker 4: he's had a great camp. That's proven by the fact
- 33:52Speaker 4: that he played into the fourth quarter in Week one
- 33:56Speaker 4: of the preseason. And he was one of the few
- 33:58Speaker 4: veteran guys or guys who that you assumed would pay
- 34:01Speaker 4: major role as a starter or just like the starter.
- 34:05Speaker 4: He played again in week two, so they have questions
- 34:08Speaker 4: about him, I mean.
- 34:10Speaker 2: And by the way he played into the second quarter.
- 34:12Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He played the extent he played.
- 34:14Speaker 4: And then after that you have Lacey, unproven second year guy.
- 34:19Speaker 4: You have Mason Smith rookie, you have Jefferson rookie, and
- 34:23Speaker 4: then you get into guys like Ledbetter and Gostis and yeah,
- 34:30Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but you just get me. Thank you, I
- 34:33Speaker 4: know you mean, yeah, And so you start looking at
- 34:39Speaker 4: where do you get the production on the You know,
- 34:41Speaker 4: is Eric Armstead a guy who wants to stop the
- 34:43Speaker 4: run after ten years and coming off an injury, why.
- 34:46Speaker 2: What wonder he good at it? At the end of
- 34:47Speaker 2: last year. I can tell you that was watching their
- 34:50Speaker 2: tape all the way through. He had problems with it, and.
- 34:52Speaker 1: Yep, is that.
- 34:55Speaker 4: And so you look at that, And so got a
- 35:01Speaker 4: guy playing mike linebacker for the first time, and Devin
- 35:04Speaker 4: Lloyd ye who in college was the online on the
- 35:09Speaker 4: line of Scrimmers' linebacker last year as will Now you're
- 35:11Speaker 4: moving to mike. So what's that look like? So, I mean,
- 35:16Speaker 4: I think there's questions. Now maybe you get a lot
- 35:21Speaker 4: of production out of these big body rookies. I think
- 35:23Speaker 4: I like what they did in the draft. They went
- 35:24Speaker 4: and got big guys who are big physical guys, I.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Guess and Smith, Jordan Jefferson. Those guys are not small,
- 35:29Speaker 1: not small.
- 35:30Speaker 4: They're powerful. So maybe they can give you that where
- 35:33Speaker 4: you're not counting on any pass rush from them, but
- 35:35Speaker 4: they can just be big, nasty guys who clog up
- 35:38Speaker 4: the middle and get you to passing situations.
- 35:40Speaker 3: Your conversation about Roy robertson Harris Doug Peterson was asked
- 35:44Speaker 3: about him specifically today.
- 35:46Speaker 1: Here's the head coach.
- 35:47Speaker 5: Roy's been doing a really good job. I think, I
- 35:49Speaker 5: think too. He missed a lot of springtime, you know,
- 35:53Speaker 5: with his injury, and so just again it takes some
- 35:57Speaker 5: time just learning the techniques and learning the details of
- 36:00Speaker 5: the defense. And but he's he's been doing a great job.
- 36:03Speaker 5: He's going to be, you know, an impact player for us.
- 36:05Speaker 5: And just continue to grow in the defense consistency not
- 36:10Speaker 5: only by Roy but but by everybody, and and you know,
- 36:14Speaker 5: continue to show that that you know, he's he's one
- 36:18Speaker 5: of the main stays you know on that into your line.
- 36:21Speaker 3: All right, there's the head coach earlier today about Roy
- 36:24Speaker 3: robertson Harris.
- 36:26Speaker 2: There something doesn't add up on the smell test there,
- 36:30Speaker 2: and and god it helped me. If I was a
- 36:31Speaker 2: beat guy but still covering that team on a daily basis,
- 36:34Speaker 2: I'd be waiting down in the parking lot and try
- 36:36Speaker 2: and find something because it doesn't there's no there's no
- 36:39Speaker 2: way a health issue is making him and play into
- 36:44Speaker 2: the fourth quarter of preseason game number one and into
- 36:47Speaker 2: the second quarter of preseason game number two. Don't you've
- 36:49Speaker 2: been around the league is a long long time. You
- 36:54Speaker 2: have to agree with me. There's something up.
- 36:55Speaker 4: There based on the optics, Pete, I agree one hundred
- 36:59Speaker 4: percent with you.
- 37:00Speaker 2: Now.
- 37:00Speaker 4: I also, you know what Doug said makes sense. They
- 37:04Speaker 4: want to get in rets because he missed most of
- 37:06Speaker 4: the offseason. Want to make sure he's comfortable in the defense. Okay, okay, sure,
- 37:13Speaker 4: I mean.
- 37:16Speaker 1: What you're selling.
- 37:17Speaker 4: I loved, I love Doug. I'll i'll bite, I'll take
- 37:21Speaker 4: the take debate.
- 37:23Speaker 2: Okay, you're gonna be me for a day. Has the
- 37:26Speaker 2: beat guy back in the day? What do you you're
- 37:28Speaker 2: not asking that question?
- 37:29Speaker 4: Come, I'm surprised it hasn't been a major story. None
- 37:32Speaker 4: of the beat guys are going after it now.
- 37:34Speaker 3: No, it should be something that was one of the
- 37:37Speaker 3: first times he's been asked about that.
- 37:39Speaker 4: That would have been if I was a beat guy,
- 37:41Speaker 4: which I have no experience. So this is pretty who
- 37:44Speaker 4: would have been questioned one or two or three after
- 37:48Speaker 4: Week one? Like why is Roy Robinson Harrison playing in
- 37:50Speaker 4: the fourth quarter?
- 37:52Speaker 2: Why is the guy with the redone deal with a
- 37:55Speaker 2: monster cabinet that you can't cut him playing in the
- 37:58Speaker 2: fourth quarter. There's guy to be something at play there.
- 38:02Speaker 2: There has to be, and not to get him. Okay,
- 38:04Speaker 2: if he's injured. He didn't get his reps. If he
- 38:06Speaker 2: was injured, you might protect them more. They sure as hell,
- 38:10Speaker 2: I ain't Russian and Eric Armstead back to get his
- 38:12Speaker 2: reps in on the new defense, are they?
- 38:15Speaker 1: No, they're not.
- 38:19Speaker 2: There's not one thing about that that adds up, none
- 38:23Speaker 2: of it.
- 38:24Speaker 1: Zero.
- 38:25Speaker 3: Hmm.
- 38:26Speaker 4: Okay, Pete makes a great point. I'm not sure what
- 38:31Speaker 4: he says he's with me on.
- 38:32Speaker 2: This when he just sits there and he goes, Okay, I.
- 38:38Speaker 1: Mean I got the head coach who I trust, and
- 38:42Speaker 1: I listened to what he says.
- 38:43Speaker 2: Hey, anybody gone to Roy and asked him, what the
- 38:45Speaker 2: hell do you think about playing into the fourth quarter
- 38:47Speaker 2: of a first preseason game as a veteran who just
- 38:50Speaker 2: got his contract redone. There's no way he's happy about that.
- 38:53Speaker 4: Well, it's not anybody, Pete, because if I were to
- 38:57Speaker 4: have a conversation with Roy about that, I would never
- 38:59Speaker 4: talk about it because that's not my job.
- 39:01Speaker 1: My job is to analyze the team.
- 39:04Speaker 4: But I don't know of anybody whose job it is
- 39:08Speaker 4: to ask those questions or our beat, the beat that
- 39:11Speaker 4: has asked Rory that question. Maybe they have and he
- 39:14Speaker 4: didn't want to answer it. I have no idea.
- 39:16Speaker 3: If they haven't, I can tell you that I don't
- 39:17Speaker 3: think he's been at the podium after practice. He put
- 39:20Speaker 3: a player there after each but don't you can request
- 39:22Speaker 3: one on the ones otherwise. And I don't know who
- 39:24Speaker 3: he has or has not talked to.
- 39:25Speaker 1: They have no open lock, they have no locker rooms
- 39:27Speaker 1: in this time of year, this time so weak one.
- 39:30Speaker 2: And by the way, and by the way, he was
- 39:32Speaker 2: blocked the other night too, and against those backups he
- 39:35Speaker 2: was blocked. It wasn't like he was making a major impact.
- 39:38Speaker 2: I mean, there's gotta be there's got to be concern
- 39:41Speaker 2: about him a but more than that, there's got to
- 39:44Speaker 2: be more to the story. Something happened, something's that play here.
- 39:48Speaker 4: Here's the reality, and you know this, they have no
- 39:52Speaker 4: real options because if you cut them, you're paying them
- 39:56Speaker 4: now they wanted to get rid of it. If they
- 39:58Speaker 4: wanted to get rid of them, they could, I mean
- 40:01Speaker 4: and just eat it to open a roster spot that
- 40:03Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure they have the CAF room.
- 40:05Speaker 2: To do it.
- 40:05Speaker 1: But do they have the depth behind them?
- 40:07Speaker 4: But they have the depth and doesn't make any sense, yeah,
- 40:09Speaker 4: you know, and then the conversation you have with the
- 40:12Speaker 4: owner afterwards is like, why do we wait a second.
- 40:15Speaker 1: We's got a guy we've just got done given more
- 40:17Speaker 1: money to.
- 40:18Speaker 2: Well, that's why they can't. That's why they can't, and
- 40:19Speaker 2: they won't. So they're taking another It looks like they're
- 40:22Speaker 2: taking another way to get to them, which is playing
- 40:25Speaker 2: into the fourth quarter. And then I mean, okay, here's
- 40:28Speaker 2: the lineups for the second preseason game. Nobody's playing, but
- 40:32Speaker 2: here's the guy who just got a bunch of money
- 40:34Speaker 2: handed to him and he's playing. Well, we get because
- 40:37Speaker 2: he was hurt and he didn't, you know, did'n get
- 40:39Speaker 2: his reps. Well, Armstt hasn't had any reps either, he's
- 40:42Speaker 2: not playing.
- 40:44Speaker 1: No done that off, fair fair analysis.
- 40:47Speaker 3: Pete looking for the MVP of the truck game, Better
- 40:51Speaker 3: check out the Dude twenty twenty four Ford F one fifty.
- 40:55Speaker 3: It's a little bit impressive capability and game changing tech
- 40:59Speaker 3: and you can dominate work play and everything in between.
- 41:02Speaker 3: Test driving F one fifty at your local four dealer.
- 41:05Speaker 3: Proud partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The second hour coming
- 41:08Speaker 3: up at the top of the hour, we'll have your fanatics,
- 41:11Speaker 3: fan questions. We'll keep it real about the offensive line,
- 41:14Speaker 3: as if we haven't already. And this is Jaguars Happy
- 41:18Speaker 3: Hour presented by Jet Home Loans.
- 41:31Speaker 5: You get a chance to get your starters a lot
- 41:33Speaker 5: of reps in a controlled environment against another football team.
- 41:37Speaker 5: And I thought both teams really did a you know,
- 41:42Speaker 5: showed great sportsmanship during the week. Coach Bowles does a
- 41:45Speaker 5: great job obviously, you know, with his team and our guys.
- 41:49Speaker 5: I was proud of the way, you know, our guys
- 41:51Speaker 5: handled themselves. But to get our starters the number of
- 41:55Speaker 5: reps they did for two days in a controlled environment
- 41:58Speaker 5: really is good work, you know, because in a game
- 42:01Speaker 5: like tonight, they would only get maybe a quarter again
- 42:05Speaker 5: or a quarter and a half. And you know, sometimes
- 42:07Speaker 5: you don't get the scenarios of the situations you want,
- 42:09Speaker 5: so uh, doing a joint practice.
- 42:11Speaker 1: Like that, you can.
- 42:12Speaker 5: You can do that and really get some good work.
- 42:15Speaker 3: Head coach Duck Peterson after the game Saturday Nights, the
- 42:18Speaker 3: win over the Buccaneers and Welcome Back Jaguars Happy Hour
- 42:21Speaker 3: presented by Jet Home Loans. Final moments of the opening
- 42:25Speaker 3: hour of the show, JP Shadwick, Tony Bisselli, and Pete
- 42:28Speaker 3: Prisco recapping that win over the Bucks and a little
- 42:32Speaker 3: later we'll look ahead to the Jaguars and the Falcons.
- 42:35Speaker 3: A little bit more offensive line talk coming up and
- 42:38Speaker 3: we keep it real an hour number two and fanatics
- 42:41Speaker 3: fan questions as well. Yes, Tony, hello, Well, as I
- 42:44Speaker 3: read through this show script today, you really dissected that
- 42:50Speaker 3: you were we missed.
- 42:51Speaker 4: We did not talk about one thing we should talk
- 42:52Speaker 4: about in the first hour.
- 42:53Speaker 1: What's that? That's Mac Jones?
- 42:56Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean fine performance for him and then to
- 43:01Speaker 3: come off the bench again and finish the game out
- 43:05Speaker 3: was good.
- 43:06Speaker 1: Two touchdown passes. This is it's a good thing, right, Pete.
- 43:13Speaker 2: Look, they have a backup quarterback now, that's what they
- 43:15Speaker 2: have because look, that's part of the reason they went
- 43:17Speaker 2: and got him, is because they weren't comfortable with CJ.
- 43:20Speaker 2: Bether being the backup quarterback. I mean they could say
- 43:23Speaker 2: they were, they weren't. That's why they went and got
- 43:25Speaker 2: mac Jones. And mac Jones looked good. He looks comfortable.
- 43:28Speaker 2: He did. He looked like he looked like he was
- 43:32Speaker 2: a good quality NFL backup, and that's what he's going
- 43:35Speaker 2: to be.
- 43:36Speaker 4: So you don't think mac Jones is a starter in
- 43:38Speaker 4: this league for the rest of his career.
- 43:39Speaker 2: I mean he might start somewhere at some point. Yeah,
- 43:42Speaker 2: I mean maybe you Last week you had teams clamoring
- 43:45Speaker 2: to go get him after a year sitting on the
- 43:47Speaker 2: bench behind Trevor Lawrence. I don't understand that.
- 43:50Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know. If I say clamoring,
- 43:53Speaker 4: I don't know about that. I think they'll be clamoring
- 43:56Speaker 4: for him the same way people were clamoring for Baker Mayfield.
- 44:00Speaker 2: I don't I don't. I don't think he's as good
- 44:02Speaker 2: as Baker Mayfield.
- 44:05Speaker 4: That's interesting. I don't know if I agree with you there.
- 44:08Speaker 2: Pete Baker Mayfield is pretty good Tony.
- 44:12Speaker 4: I think mac Jones is better than people think.
- 44:15Speaker 2: So, I mean you, he did some good things the
- 44:18Speaker 2: other night. There's no question about that. And he is
- 44:20Speaker 2: the second he's the back quarterback.
- 44:22Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I don't even think it was a
- 44:24Speaker 3: thing going in. I don't even said it was, and
- 44:27Speaker 3: I don't. I didn't buy that the first few practices
- 44:29Speaker 3: we saw him.
- 44:30Speaker 1: Throw it around.
- 44:30Speaker 4: I mean I think he I think he has an
- 44:32Speaker 4: above average arm, good arm.
- 44:34Speaker 2: Pretty good arm.
- 44:35Speaker 4: I think he has, you know, good instincts in like
- 44:40Speaker 4: football IQ seeing it. I think he's probably a below
- 44:44Speaker 4: average athlete running the ball.
- 44:47Speaker 1: He thinks he's better. He's better than he is running
- 44:50Speaker 1: probably well. He tried. He made some moves.
- 44:51Speaker 4: I give him credit. He juke some guys, So maybe
- 44:54Speaker 4: he's better than I think.
- 44:55Speaker 1: Here's the qua hell.
- 44:56Speaker 4: I think he and I think he's done a great
- 44:58Speaker 4: job in camp. I mean I talked about.
- 45:00Speaker 3: Last week how screwed up was he in New England
- 45:02Speaker 3: though he had he had he had three play callers
- 45:05Speaker 3: at Alabama. He had three different play callers. I think
- 45:07Speaker 3: in New England at least.
- 45:08Speaker 2: But yeah, and they brought in Matt Patricia, and it
- 45:12Speaker 2: was a bad It's a bad situation. It wasn't There's
- 45:14Speaker 2: no doubt it was a bad situation.
- 45:16Speaker 4: They had a they had a former defensive coordinator who
- 45:19Speaker 4: had never coached offensive line is their offensive line coach
- 45:22Speaker 4: and co coordinator. And then they had a special team's
- 45:28Speaker 4: kind of maybe at some point in his career wide
- 45:30Speaker 4: receiver coach judge as the other coordinator. Not clear who
- 45:37Speaker 4: was really calm plays doing what on a roster that
- 45:41Speaker 4: was probably pretty depleted in talent on the offense.
- 45:43Speaker 2: Was it wasn't a good roster. I mean, in fairness
- 45:46Speaker 2: to him, there were a lot of things working against.
- 45:47Speaker 4: Them, Like how about everything working against them? Tell me
- 45:50Speaker 4: what was working for him?
- 45:52Speaker 2: Like he did have Belichick? Okay, are going to be
- 45:57Speaker 2: the greatest coach I've ever has ever lived?
- 46:00Speaker 4: As this is like I'm a huge Belichick fan. I
- 46:04Speaker 4: think he's arguably the best situational football coach in the
- 46:08Speaker 4: history of the game of maximizing and taking advantage of
- 46:11Speaker 4: situations and matching up personnel, especially on the defensive side
- 46:16Speaker 4: of the ball. I mean, there's I don't it's hard
- 46:19Speaker 4: to argue who did what he did.
- 46:22Speaker 2: There comes a butt.
- 46:23Speaker 4: Well no, but he the butt is that he wasn't
- 46:27Speaker 4: just the head coach though he was also general manager,
- 46:31Speaker 4: overseer of all things. And I think I think it's
- 46:34Speaker 4: hard to defend some of the picks and some of
- 46:37Speaker 4: the moves that they made from a personal personnel standpoint.
- 46:42Speaker 1: And I do think.
- 46:43Speaker 4: I mean, if you take a step back and look
- 46:45Speaker 4: at it, Pete, the genius of Belichick matched up with
- 46:50Speaker 4: the greatness of Brady covered a lot of those sins
- 46:53Speaker 4: for a long time.
- 46:55Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, there's no doubt. And by the way,
- 46:57Speaker 2: it's still the dynasty that's built on luck. They drafted
- 46:59Speaker 2: him a six round Brady, and drafted a defensive back
- 47:02Speaker 2: in the same round before him, So it's luck. I
- 47:05Speaker 2: got lucky with the greatest quarterback whoever played. They got lucky.
- 47:09Speaker 2: One quick thing about back Jones. What happens if he
- 47:11Speaker 2: sits the entire season, Tony, then then there's not gonna
- 47:14Speaker 2: be anybody clamoring for him because he's just Mac Jones,
- 47:16Speaker 2: the backup quarterback.
- 47:17Speaker 4: Maybe maybe that's a good point.
- 47:19Speaker 3: We'll discuss that a little bit more coming up in
- 47:20Speaker 3: the second hour. Also, fanatics, fan questions, one hour Down,
- 47:25Speaker 3: one hour ago. It's Jaguars Happy Hour presented by Jet.
- 47:28Speaker 5: Home Loans, third and final preseason game. We usually let
- 47:37Speaker 5: the starters play a little bit more, you know, And
- 47:40Speaker 5: again it depends on the circumstance and the way the
- 47:42Speaker 5: game goes. But you'd love to get maybe two quarters,
- 47:45Speaker 5: you know, out of them, you know. But we do
- 47:49Speaker 5: take a look at Atlanta a little bit and we
- 47:51Speaker 5: simulate like game weeks schedule wise. Now camp is broke,
- 47:55Speaker 5: and that's the probably the only reason, you know, these
- 47:59Speaker 5: weeks are important to get the guys, you know, no
- 48:02Speaker 5: longer in the hotel. They're living home, transportation here, all
- 48:05Speaker 5: that kind of stuff. It just it simulates and sort
- 48:08Speaker 5: of feels like a game week.
- 48:10Speaker 3: Head coach Doug Peterson earlier today, Welcome back second hour
- 48:14Speaker 3: of Jaguars Happy Hour, JP Shadwick, Tony Vasselli, Pete Frisco
- 48:18Speaker 3: of the Second Hour is presented by Mister Chubby's Wings.
- 48:22Speaker 3: Before the game, after the game, and during the game.
- 48:26Speaker 3: Tony Vasselli with me here in studio. Yes, Hall of Famer.
- 48:29Speaker 4: Sote I was listening to Doug's comments about how they
- 48:32Speaker 4: broke camp this week and it's a game week, which
- 48:34Speaker 4: is traditional usually back when I played. The week three
- 48:37Speaker 4: was kind of your simulate what a normal week you
- 48:42Speaker 4: break camp and what's a normal week look like during
- 48:44Speaker 4: the regular season, just to kind of get everyone ready
- 48:46Speaker 4: for I wonder in today's NFL if i'd want to
- 48:50Speaker 4: break camp, especially if you have really really young kids
- 48:55Speaker 4: that don't sleep all night, because in camp, you're you're
- 49:01Speaker 4: at the hotel by six thirty seven every day. Yeah,
- 49:04Speaker 4: which is I got home on a Wednesday Thursday around
- 49:08Speaker 4: six six fifteen. By the time you get out to
- 49:10Speaker 4: the beach.
- 49:10Speaker 3: Oh, you're talking about the kids at home. You're talking
- 49:12Speaker 3: about the kids on the football, about the kids at all.
- 49:15Speaker 4: Wait a minute, So like if you're if you're a
- 49:17Speaker 4: guy married and you have super young kids at the
- 49:22Speaker 4: house and you know, because it's chaos, like camp was
- 49:27Speaker 4: probably pretty nice this year, you know, or this type
- 49:29Speaker 4: of camp because you go when you're done, you go
- 49:32Speaker 4: back to hotel, you have a meal made up, maybe
- 49:35Speaker 4: get your massage, you know, get your body work, do
- 49:38Speaker 4: all the different things. Quiet night of sleep, wake up,
- 49:41Speaker 4: breakfast waiting for you, go to work. It's two minute
- 49:46Speaker 4: drive compared to like when we broke camp.
- 49:50Speaker 2: Yeah, camp was Camp was easy.
- 49:52Speaker 4: When we broke camp, it's like, oh golly, I don't
- 49:55Speaker 4: have to be a meeting still ten thirty at night.
- 49:59Speaker 5: No.
- 50:00Speaker 4: If my wife heard that, she slap me right now.
- 50:02Speaker 4: It's like, how dare you don't want to come spend
- 50:03Speaker 4: time with your kids? No, I want to spend time
- 50:04Speaker 4: with the kids. I love the kids. Pretty nice, getting sleep,
- 50:08Speaker 4: quiet sleep.
- 50:10Speaker 1: Say it again, Pete, I'm sorry.
- 50:11Speaker 2: They're a regular season mode right now this week.
- 50:14Speaker 1: That's what he just said.
- 50:15Speaker 2: And it looked like room open. Then no, well, regular
- 50:21Speaker 2: season the locker room's open, correct, because somebody's gotta go
- 50:26Speaker 2: get Roy Robarts.
- 50:27Speaker 3: I I mean that's kind of what it is. So
- 50:32Speaker 3: but you know today they're working.
- 50:34Speaker 1: On cards, you know.
- 50:35Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 50:35Speaker 4: The big the big difference is is this is the
- 50:39Speaker 4: first time that like you'll have a scout team. Now
- 50:41Speaker 4: scout team's gonna work on Atlanta stuff. So you're gonna
- 50:43Speaker 4: do install like like as an offensivelignment or the offense
- 50:48Speaker 4: and get together however they present it. They'll present the
- 50:51Speaker 4: game plan to present the personnel, you know, kind of
- 50:53Speaker 4: what Atlanta wants to do. You break up position groups
- 50:55Speaker 4: and then you go in and and you start installing.
- 50:58Speaker 4: What's the run game, what's the past game protection wise?
- 51:02Speaker 4: As far as game plan for this week, you know,
- 51:05Speaker 4: here's the fronts and first and second down, here's what
- 51:07Speaker 4: they're sub you know, front look like, here's their top
- 51:10Speaker 4: you know, top blitzes first, you know, and you start
- 51:14Speaker 4: installing that and this is what we're gonna do against it.
- 51:17Speaker 4: And then when you get out to practice, instead of
- 51:19Speaker 4: working against your defense, you know, ones against ones or
- 51:23Speaker 4: ones against twos, however they did it. Now you're working
- 51:26Speaker 4: ones against the scout team that's working off a card.
- 51:30Speaker 4: And so you're getting a you're getting prepped and you're
- 51:33Speaker 4: preparing for Atlanta in the fronts that you're gonna face.
- 51:37Speaker 4: Where against Tampa and against Kansas City, you're not doing
- 51:40Speaker 4: any real prep. You're just running your stuff regardless of
- 51:43Speaker 4: what they're gonna do.
- 51:45Speaker 2: So you just happen to have a lot of you
- 51:47Speaker 2: just happen to have a lot of people around. Yeah,
- 51:51Speaker 2: a lot more bodies that will be there the next week. Well,
- 51:54Speaker 2: this is this is cutting. Are we cutting the team?
- 51:57Speaker 1: Uh? If you want to, we can, but this is
- 52:00Speaker 1: the cuts are easy. I think this is I mean.
- 52:03Speaker 4: Because during the regular season, I don't know how they
- 52:05Speaker 4: do it to now because they have so many practice
- 52:07Speaker 4: squad guys. But back when we didn't have the big
- 52:10Speaker 4: practice squad, the starters during each team session, so we
- 52:16Speaker 4: had we'd have two team sessions of nine and seven
- 52:18Speaker 4: and the blitz. It was like four sessions during regular
- 52:22Speaker 4: season practice. So offensively, the ones would take ninety percent
- 52:26Speaker 4: of those reps and the twos would get a couple.
- 52:28Speaker 4: But then on scout team, Tom always made the starters
- 52:32Speaker 4: go take one or two of the scout team reps too,
- 52:35Speaker 4: which just drove me crazy. But that's what I mean.
- 52:41Speaker 4: But now maybe it was just because you'd have enough
- 52:44Speaker 4: offensive line, you might not have enough bodies to have
- 52:49Speaker 4: you know, everyone, you know, because of injuries and everything else.
- 52:53Speaker 4: Sometimes you you know, might maybe only had you know,
- 52:57Speaker 4: two tackles you had, maybe had the swing and you
- 53:01Speaker 4: had one other guy, but you wanted to get you know,
- 53:03Speaker 4: for whatever reason. But my guess is nowadays, with the
- 53:06Speaker 4: large practice squad, your scout team's your scout team, and
- 53:09Speaker 4: your starters aren't doing any of those sixteen practice quads. Yeah,
- 53:13Speaker 4: it's much different, which I love it. Make the pass
- 53:15Speaker 4: squad as big as you want. That's more jobs for guys.
- 53:17Speaker 2: As but Tony, I was thinking about this before we
- 53:21Speaker 2: got something else to go, but before the break, I
- 53:23Speaker 2: was thinking. After the break, I was thinking about this.
- 53:25Speaker 2: Mac Jones is an unrestricted free agent after the season.
- 53:28Speaker 1: Yes, correct, what if he doesn't.
- 53:31Speaker 2: Play at all? Which is the best case scenario for
- 53:34Speaker 2: the Jaguars by the way, you can meet your quarterbacks
- 53:35Speaker 2: playing the entire season. But what happens if he doesn't play?
- 53:38Speaker 4: So that depends on two things. Pete, what's the quarterback
- 53:42Speaker 4: si shiit? What's the quarterback situation from a veterans standpoint
- 53:47Speaker 4: going into next year? Meaning guys get hurt, guys retire,
- 53:50Speaker 4: We're what teams have gaps?
- 53:52Speaker 2: No, but I'm saying from Jacksonville standpoint, you want to
- 53:55Speaker 2: bring him, try and bring him back.
- 53:56Speaker 4: Well, then I'm gonna get to that in a second.
- 53:58Speaker 4: And so that's the first kind of thing. Second is
- 54:02Speaker 4: what are the what's the drafts? What quarterbacks are coming
- 54:06Speaker 4: out in the draft? So how many guys do are
- 54:08Speaker 4: draftable to be a starting caliber guy? Well, if there's
- 54:13Speaker 4: let's make this up, let's say there's ten teams that
- 54:15Speaker 4: need a quarterback in the NFL, there's only three draftable
- 54:21Speaker 4: guys that you're gonna start right it'll start right away. Well, now,
- 54:25Speaker 4: there's probably a bigger market for a guy like Mac
- 54:27Speaker 4: Jones because he started and taking a team to the
- 54:29Speaker 4: playoffs before. So at that point his market is going
- 54:34Speaker 4: to be stronger, meaning there's there's gonna be more people
- 54:36Speaker 4: offering you money, which then limits the Jaguars from getting
- 54:39Speaker 4: him back as a backup because you're only going to
- 54:42Speaker 4: pay so much for your backup.
- 54:44Speaker 1: And it's.
- 54:46Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, a guy like Mac Jones, i'd
- 54:48Speaker 4: say five to seven.
- 54:51Speaker 1: Yes, But okay, let's so you see what I'm saying.
- 54:54Speaker 2: I get it. If there's a market, if there's somebody
- 54:56Speaker 2: needs one and there's three teams out there, he's going
- 54:58Speaker 2: to get a contract.
- 54:59Speaker 4: That's yeah, he'll get a fifteen million dollar, two year,
- 55:02Speaker 4: thirty million type of deal, prove it cut type of situation,
- 55:06Speaker 4: or he'll have a chance to go start. And obviously,
- 55:08Speaker 4: if you're Mac Jones.
- 55:09Speaker 1: You're gonna go take that absolutely. Now, if let's say there's.
- 55:13Speaker 4: Only three teams or four teams that need a quarterback
- 55:15Speaker 4: and it's a strong draft, now all of a sudden
- 55:19Speaker 4: you're saying, okay, maybe the market's not quite as strong.
- 55:22Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't think there's gonna be that. A
- 55:23Speaker 2: lot of teams looking for a quarterback.
- 55:25Speaker 1: And Pete, I don't know. I haven't.
- 55:27Speaker 4: I have honestly not thought about it.
- 55:28Speaker 2: It's not hard. You can go right through it and
- 55:30Speaker 2: figure it out. I mean, the Giants are going to
- 55:34Speaker 2: be looking for a.
- 55:34Speaker 4: Quarterback probably, Oh my goodness.
- 55:37Speaker 2: Right, so there's one in the East. The rest of
- 55:41Speaker 2: them in the East aren't looking for quarterbacks. AFC East
- 55:45Speaker 2: they're not looking.
- 55:46Speaker 1: Well, Jets could huh, Jets could be.
- 55:50Speaker 2: If he retires, and but I don't think he's retiring.
- 55:53Speaker 4: Well, it depends on what happens this year.
- 55:55Speaker 2: Okay, so maybe the Jets probably not. He said he
- 55:58Speaker 2: wants to play at least a couple of years.
- 55:59Speaker 1: Okay.
- 56:02Speaker 2: AFC South nobody, No NFC South.
- 56:06Speaker 4: What about the NFC AFC West with the West.
- 56:11Speaker 2: Okay, no Broncos. They just drafted one Raiders, the Raiders.
- 56:14Speaker 2: The Raiders would be looking for one, but they just
- 56:16Speaker 2: signed Minshew's.
- 56:18Speaker 4: But oh, I don't think so, I do not think.
- 56:20Speaker 5: No.
- 56:20Speaker 2: I think mac Jones better.
- 56:22Speaker 1: Come on, Pete, so you're I mean, you might be right.
- 56:24Speaker 4: I mean, we don't have to go through the whole.
- 56:26Speaker 2: There's not gonna be a lot of job ocause that's
- 56:28Speaker 2: all I'm saying. And then there will be like three
- 56:30Speaker 2: guys at the top of the draft. The kid from
- 56:31Speaker 2: Jacksonville that's place for Georgia will be one of them. Uh,
- 56:34Speaker 2: Carson will be one of them. Who else? Then you
- 56:38Speaker 2: got Sanders from Colorado, and there's in one or two
- 56:42Speaker 2: guys will emerge, so you're gonna have three or four.
- 56:44Speaker 2: He ain't getting a starting job next year. He ain't
- 56:47Speaker 2: got a free agent. He's gonna be a backup in Jacksonville.
- 56:49Speaker 2: That's what he is. It's okay.
- 56:52Speaker 4: See I probably think a little bit highly more highly
- 56:55Speaker 4: Mac Jones than you do, Pete, but your analysis is correct.
- 56:59Speaker 4: If there's only there's no jobs, Yeah, that could be one,
- 57:06Speaker 4: but I mean, heck, the Carolina Panthers might be looking
- 57:09Speaker 4: for one.
- 57:12Speaker 2: I'm not gonna argue with you on that one. But
- 57:13Speaker 2: I don't think they give up on him. If for
- 57:15Speaker 2: two years, I know.
- 57:16Speaker 1: I don't might break in half before they end up
- 57:19Speaker 1: on him.
- 57:19Speaker 4: Yeah, But but it's just a it's a supply demand
- 57:22Speaker 4: thing for mac Jones because I let's hope he doesn't
- 57:25Speaker 4: give very many reps. Now the flip side of that
- 57:28Speaker 4: is God forbid and I don't want this to happen.
- 57:30Speaker 4: But let's say Trevor missus an two games, two games, hamstring,
- 57:37Speaker 4: something like that, nothing major, and mac Jones comes out
- 57:40Speaker 4: and lights it up for two weeks. There will be
- 57:45Speaker 4: a market for him, and probably a market this year,
- 57:48Speaker 4: oh immediately. If it's surely enough, it could be a
- 57:51Speaker 4: trade market, which I don't think you do unless it's
- 57:53Speaker 4: tigh enough pick you do. I mean, and we know
- 57:55Speaker 4: this firsthand. The reason Fred Taylor is here is because
- 57:59Speaker 4: Robjohnson had one great preseason game, in one great regular
- 58:04Speaker 4: season game that was it, and the Bills gave up
- 58:08Speaker 4: the eighth overall pick to get him.
- 58:11Speaker 2: Well, and also we I worked with Rick Spielman he
- 58:15Speaker 2: Paddick one year when when his quarterback went down with
- 58:18Speaker 2: Teddy Bridgewater went down, he gave up a first round
- 58:20Speaker 2: pick for Sam Bradford. So so there can be there
- 58:25Speaker 2: can be, There can be scenarios. Yeah, he plays if
- 58:28Speaker 2: you don't want that to happen, but if something happened
- 58:30Speaker 2: and he played well, then maybe maybe he gets another
- 58:33Speaker 2: shot and gets a small contract from somebody to go
- 58:35Speaker 2: be a starter.
- 58:36Speaker 4: He plays good enough, it'll be a good sized contract.
- 58:40Speaker 1: Because Pete, you know this.
- 58:41Speaker 4: This is how this league works.
- 58:43Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield didn't get a good sized contract when he
- 58:45Speaker 2: first went to the box.
- 58:46Speaker 4: Can I finish real quick that he proved it. Here's
- 58:49Speaker 4: my point, this is how the league works. So mac
- 58:51Speaker 4: Jones was the first round first rounder, and he had
- 58:54Speaker 4: a first round grade by most teams. Now, maybe not
- 58:56Speaker 4: as high as the Patriots picked him. Okay, so most
- 58:59Speaker 4: gms and scouts a first round grade on mac Jones
- 59:01Speaker 4: somewhere in the first round.
- 59:03Speaker 1: They don't forget that.
- 59:04Speaker 4: So they believed he was a starting caliber quarterback when
- 59:07Speaker 4: he came out of Alabama. Then he goes to his
- 59:09Speaker 4: rookie year and takes the Patriots to the playoffs as
- 59:15Speaker 4: the starting quarterback. So they have that body of work. Okay,
- 59:18Speaker 4: this kid can win in the league. Has a couple
- 59:21Speaker 4: bad years, they can justify why all the things we
- 59:24Speaker 4: talked about in the last segment. And he comes out
- 59:27Speaker 4: and he's the backup for one year to Trevor Lawrence.
- 59:29Speaker 4: Trevor gets a hangnail and misses a game, and Mac,
- 59:34Speaker 4: I'm saying that because I wanted to I don't want
- 59:35Speaker 4: to even speak any injuries. He just says, you know,
- 59:38Speaker 4: tears this something tears his big toe toenail off the
- 59:43Speaker 4: mcknnf whatever, and mac Jones comes out and throws you know,
- 59:49Speaker 4: three hundred yards and two touches downs and takes the
- 59:52Speaker 4: Jaguars to a victory. Well, now, all of a sudden,
- 59:56Speaker 4: if you're a GM that needs a quarterback, you can
- 1:00:00Speaker 4: put together a pretty good store in your mind and
- 1:00:03Speaker 4: sell it to everyone around you that we're getting Mac
- 1:00:07Speaker 4: Jones on a bargain deal. And this is a former
- 1:00:10Speaker 4: first rounder who won a playoff game and his and
- 1:00:13Speaker 4: when he got into a stable situation in Jacksonville, performed
- 1:00:16Speaker 4: at a high level. And Pete, you and I both
- 1:00:19Speaker 4: know how these gms think they will be. They'll be going, Oh,
- 1:00:23Speaker 4: I can make it work here with him, I can
- 1:00:26Speaker 4: win with it.
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: I'm gonna play devil's advocate. On the other side, he
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: was available to anybody who wanted him this year. And
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: what did they get for him?
- 1:00:33Speaker 4: Sixth rounder?
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: I mean, I tell you there wasn't a market. Craven
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: the guy. Okay, well, okay, but he's still the same
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: first round pick that they had the first.
- 1:00:44Speaker 4: I don't agree. I don't disagree. But the last the
- 1:00:47Speaker 4: last thing they saw of him was two years of
- 1:00:51Speaker 4: an inefficient offense that couldn't get out of its own way,
- 1:00:56Speaker 4: and he did not look good.
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: Well, and here's the other part of it. How many
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: quarterbacks that were first round picks actually resurrected their career
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: and had success again somewhere. I mean, Jim Plunkett did it.
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: I mean, how long ago was that.
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: Baker's done it. Baker Bayfield has done it.
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: Baker has done it. I mean, it's possible, but I
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: don't me personally. I think he's a backup quarterback, and
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: I think he's a really good backup quarterback. And you
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: might be right, like he's a better backup. He'll be
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: a better backup quarterback than Blaine Gabrett was. And Blaine
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: Gabert made a lifetime of it.
- 1:01:34Speaker 4: Well, I think he's proven he's a better player. I
- 1:01:36Speaker 4: mean he I mean Blaine never did what Mac Jones
- 1:01:39Speaker 4: did in the regular season as a starter.
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: No, but he but he also just looks like a
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: better quarterback. But Blaine Gabbert. How many Blain Gabert was
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: with the Bucks and then he was with the cheek.
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: I mean.
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: Right, which is great. I love it for Blaine. Good
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: for him.
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: Yeah, Hey, let's come let's come back. We're gonna keep
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: it about the offensive line. We're gonna get Pete's solution
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: to this.
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: I don't know if there is.
- 1:02:05Speaker 4: Do you have a solution.
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: No, I don't have a solution.
- 1:02:08Speaker 4: We're gonna call you this solution man solving problems.
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: I would have got out and got some guys, but
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: they didn't, so I don't think there is a solution
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: on the roster.

- 1:05:02Speaker 3: That's our sponsor, the non existent Welcome to America prisco Bisseli.
- 1:05:09Speaker 4: Podcast.
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: Amazing, all right, So let's get to it. Offensive line.
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: You know, we talked a lot in the first hour
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: about the old line. It sounds like the starters will
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: get time together in the first half. They haven't all
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: five been on the field in a preseason game. What
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: is your greatest concern about this group as a whole.
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: Pete will start with you.
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: The middle of the offensive line. And Morris is a
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: good player, Don't get me wrong, I think signing him
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: makes sense. It's just he's still not an overpowering guy
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: in the middle of the line. He's smart, he's a tactician.
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: He finds a way to get it done. But you
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: know he's not going to be brute strength. I think
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: Cleveland is an athletic guard, not brute strength. I think
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: sheriff once upon a time had more power, not anymore,
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: not brute strength. So I think that's the major concern
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: with me, is the ability to get people and root
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: them out of there and run the football. I think
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: that that was a problem last year. We know part
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: of the major part of the problem was Luke Fortner,
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: but I just don't know if they're physical enough in
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: the middle of that line, and that to me is worrying.
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: Number one. You know people will talk about their tackles.
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: I worry more about the inside guys than I do
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: the tackles. They believe it, not Tony. There are people
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: talking about their tackles nationally that think that's a problem area.
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: I do not think it is, but they think they
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: think cam is a problem because.
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: Just yeah, I mean, and you know you're playing a
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: second year guy who's going to be a really good player.
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: But again it's a big step forward. But me personally
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: power in the middle of the line to root people
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: out run the ball. Look, I'm a pass first guy.
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: I always have been. You throw the score, you run
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: to win. You have to be able to run the ball,
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: and you need to run the ball. And I question
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: whether that group in the middle of that line is
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: good enough to run it when they need to run it.
- 1:07:09Speaker 4: Tony, what Pizza is saying, I would probably agree with
- 1:07:16Speaker 4: most of it, and I think it comes down to
- 1:07:19Speaker 4: how you want to play football. Number one, what's the style.
- 1:07:23Speaker 4: I'm a big believer you have to be able to
- 1:07:26Speaker 4: run the ball when you need to run the ball
- 1:07:28Speaker 4: to close out a game, to get third and one
- 1:07:32Speaker 4: to push it. You got to be able to run
- 1:07:34Speaker 4: the ball in the tight red zone because the windows
- 1:07:37Speaker 4: are so tight. And I think then to stretch the
- 1:07:41Speaker 4: field ultimately is off play action pass, which is set
- 1:07:45Speaker 4: up a lot you know, off that run game. And
- 1:07:49Speaker 4: this is a team last year and I don't have
- 1:07:52Speaker 4: the official ending statistics.
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: I'm sure you do.
- 1:07:55Speaker 4: JP or you have a sense of them. But I
- 1:07:58Speaker 4: believe if it was not the worst, it was at
- 1:08:01Speaker 4: the probably bottom quartile of teams who were effective of
- 1:08:08Speaker 4: converting third and short, fourth and short and punching in
- 1:08:12Speaker 4: the in the goal line on short yard of situations.
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: I just, yeah, I could. I would say that's probably
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: a safe that's you know guess and so yes, just
- 1:08:21Speaker 3: by the eyeball test, and there was.
- 1:08:24Speaker 4: They had trouble controlling the line of scrimmage, especially in
- 1:08:26Speaker 4: the second half of the year, and they did not
- 1:08:30Speaker 4: do much to address that part. They did they brought
- 1:08:33Speaker 4: in Mits Morris, where I think is an upgrade at center.
- 1:08:38Speaker 4: All the things that Pete said about him are accurate.
- 1:08:40Speaker 4: I think he described both Ezra Cleveland and Brandon Sheriff accurately.
- 1:08:46Speaker 4: And so my question is can they get the Can
- 1:08:50Speaker 4: they get third and one when they have to get
- 1:08:52Speaker 4: third and one? Can they get those those hard yardage
- 1:08:56Speaker 4: that heart, that hard yardage when everyone knows you're going
- 1:08:59Speaker 4: to run the ball, and can you move guys? Can
- 1:09:02Speaker 4: you displace that front in a four minute situation? Can
- 1:09:08Speaker 4: they run it when they have to to close out games?
- 1:09:11Speaker 4: That's my big question, And we'll wait and see. But
- 1:09:16Speaker 4: based on last year what we saw now they were
- 1:09:19Speaker 4: injured and so all those everything that we've heard from
- 1:09:23Speaker 4: you know, Trent and Doug around, you know, they never
- 1:09:25Speaker 4: had their five together and all the stuff.
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: That narrative.
- 1:09:28Speaker 4: That's accurate.
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: It's true.
- 1:09:31Speaker 4: So is keeping all those guys so one. You bet
- 1:09:35Speaker 4: you're gonna keep them all healthy, which is hard to do.
- 1:09:37Speaker 4: Very few teams make it with all the starting five
- 1:09:40Speaker 4: off seventeen games.
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: And can't if you do.
- 1:09:45Speaker 4: If you can do that or close to it, are
- 1:09:48Speaker 4: the five guys up front, the guys who can go
- 1:09:52Speaker 4: get that short yardage when you have to have it,
- 1:09:54Speaker 4: can run the ball when you need to close out
- 1:09:56Speaker 4: the game, and control the line of scrimmage. That couple
- 1:10:01Speaker 4: to the fact. So that's the run game. I don't
- 1:10:04Speaker 4: have the statistics, but you know, I believe that Trevor
- 1:10:09Speaker 4: had Trevor got hit a lot, let's put that way.
- 1:10:13Speaker 4: Last year.
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: Now, some of it is on him around, Yeah, someone's
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: on him.
- 1:10:18Speaker 5: You know.
- 1:10:19Speaker 4: It's not all an offensive line, but you gotta hold
- 1:10:22Speaker 4: up protection. Doug talked about that, and so this offensive
- 1:10:26Speaker 4: line has to play better. They got to perform as
- 1:10:29Speaker 4: a unit better than they did last year, and I
- 1:10:33Speaker 4: think the interiors questions I have, you know, I think
- 1:10:36Speaker 4: you have two tackles that are.
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: Good.
- 1:10:41Speaker 4: I'm saying great. I think Anton Harrison has really especially
- 1:10:44Speaker 4: in the past game. His feet are so good and
- 1:10:46Speaker 4: he plays with such good.
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: You know, and the run game. He wasn't great in
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: run game last and.
- 1:10:51Speaker 4: I agree with that. But he's very athletic. You can
- 1:10:53Speaker 4: move and you can pull me and do a lot
- 1:10:54Speaker 4: of He's gonna be so I it's an unknown. I mean,
- 1:11:00Speaker 4: if I was looking at the offense in its entirety
- 1:11:05Speaker 4: and you asked me what position group are you most
- 1:11:07Speaker 4: concerned about, it would be the offensive line. If you
- 1:11:13Speaker 4: had asked me at the end of last year what
- 1:11:14Speaker 4: the group I was most concerned about, I would have
- 1:11:17Speaker 4: said the offensive line. And I wonder if they did
- 1:11:20Speaker 4: enough in the off season to address that.
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: Yeah don't. I don't know if they have. But here's
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: the other thing. You get a physical back in Bigsby,
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: you think, okay, well, maybe he'll be able to solve
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: the short yarded situation and all that stuff. If you
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: can't block him, I don't care how physical your back is.
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: He ain't running it and not running it. So you
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: got to be able to get that somehow, some way.
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: You got to be able to get a crack of
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: a crease on those short yarded situations, get people out
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: of there, and I don't know if they can.
- 1:11:50Speaker 4: But the one thing I'll disagree slightly with you, Pete
- 1:11:53Speaker 4: on short yardist situations. Yes, it starts up front. You're
- 1:11:56Speaker 4: right there. But a good back who has good vision
- 1:12:01Speaker 4: downhill knows how to turn his shoulders and how to
- 1:12:03Speaker 4: find that yard. That's a talent. And I was really
- 1:12:08Speaker 4: impressed watching Tank on Saturday Night. Yeah, like, I think
- 1:12:13Speaker 4: he does a good job of getting downhill playing with
- 1:12:17Speaker 4: pad level. I don't think that's Travis Etn's specialty. He's
- 1:12:22Speaker 4: a more of a space passing game, you know, dynamic,
- 1:12:27Speaker 4: But I don't think he plays with the pad level
- 1:12:29Speaker 4: or the power that Tank does.
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: And so a good back.
- 1:12:35Speaker 4: In that situation can really help you and make you
- 1:12:39Speaker 4: look better as an offensive line just because of their
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: ability to see it, hit it quickly, get pad level low,
- 1:12:47Speaker 4: make that little turn just to slither in there to
- 1:12:49Speaker 4: get that extra half yard. That can be the difference
- 1:12:52Speaker 4: between moving the chains and being off the field.
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: Tank Bigsby to you guys point sixty five rushing yards
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: in this preseason, sixty two of those after contact.
- 1:13:01Speaker 4: Yeah, he's very I mean that I think that was
- 1:13:04Speaker 4: just on Saturday night. I don't think that's all preseason.
- 1:13:07Speaker 4: I thought that was last night.
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: You had thirty seven rushing yards. Okay, yeah, I was
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: very impressed.
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: But that's all well and good. But even one of
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: the most physical runners of all time, Derrick Henry, when
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: you guys know, if there was penetration in the middle
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: of the line, it was over, get his feet bounce,
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: it was done.
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: Yep.
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: So you got to get pushed. You have to get pushed.
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: So it can't it can't cover up.
- 1:13:28Speaker 4: It can't cover up an inept offensive line.
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: Pete. I'm not saying, but you know how they run
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: the ball in the passes where they pin and pull
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: and they get all those guys moving. It is that
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: all they can do. You think, with the way they're
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: constructed right.
- 1:13:41Speaker 4: Now, that's all they can That's all they could do
- 1:13:43Speaker 4: last year. I'm hoping not there. You know, they made
- 1:13:46Speaker 4: it a point of emphasis this offseason all you know,
- 1:13:49Speaker 4: during the OTAs during training camp, getting guys in three
- 1:13:51Speaker 4: point stances coming off the ball better. So I like
- 1:13:56Speaker 4: that and hopefully that will help them, especially in those
- 1:14:00Speaker 4: situations where you got to go get a.
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: R But Jah, you don't know that until you play.
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: I mean, you can do that all off season until
- 1:14:05Speaker 3: you're blue.
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: In the face.
- 1:14:07Speaker 4: But JP, that goes back to in the first hour
- 1:14:08Speaker 4: when we talked about you gotta get reps, you gotta
- 1:14:10Speaker 4: go do it, you gotta go practice it, you gotta work,
- 1:14:12Speaker 4: and like you can do it against a dummy all day,
- 1:14:15Speaker 4: playing with low pad level does not happen just because
- 1:14:19Speaker 4: you tell yourself to play low pad level. You have
- 1:14:21Speaker 4: to work in that range of motion and you have
- 1:14:25Speaker 4: to do it. Like I'll say this as a tall
- 1:14:27Speaker 4: guy where pad level could be an issue. For me
- 1:14:31Speaker 4: being six seven, my pad level was wildly different from
- 1:14:37Speaker 4: the first two weeks of camp by the time we
- 1:14:39Speaker 4: went to opening day, because you, yeah, because you repped it,
- 1:14:46Speaker 4: and you're just repping it, repping it. Repreant that with
- 1:14:49Speaker 4: Mike Maser in my ear yelling at me to get down,
- 1:14:52Speaker 4: get down, get down, lower, lower leverage, leverage, leverage, and
- 1:14:56Speaker 4: you're working and you get tired of getting stood up
- 1:14:58Speaker 4: in the hole and you're doing nine on set and
- 1:15:00Speaker 4: guys are coming downhill like it forces you to go
- 1:15:04Speaker 4: figure it out and play better leverage, better pad level
- 1:15:07Speaker 4: if you want to be effective. And that goes back
- 1:15:10Speaker 4: to what we said in the first hour. It's about repetition.
- 1:15:12Speaker 4: It does, it just doesn't happen. It's not natural to
- 1:15:16Speaker 4: operate as a big tall man, which all these guys are,
- 1:15:21Speaker 4: with pad level at a in a range that gives
- 1:15:25Speaker 4: you the leverage you need to move people.
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: And by the way, I never had any problem with
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: my pad level.
- 1:15:30Speaker 4: No, you have pad level, Pete, you have outstanding pad level.
- 1:15:34Speaker 4: Right now, because we're sitting here talking on.
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: The radio, it's unbelievable. Low low, You're.
- 1:15:40Speaker 3: Very low, very low, back in a moment that was

- 1:16:14Speaker 3: by mister Chubby's Wings.
- 1:16:18Speaker 8: We got to put more stress on him, you know.
- 1:16:20Speaker 8: That was the thing that we talked about. We can't
- 1:16:22Speaker 8: give him a rookie season. We got to get him
- 1:16:24Speaker 8: ready to play now. And we kept them at two
- 1:16:28Speaker 8: and a half weeks long, and and we've kept them
- 1:16:30Speaker 8: previous two rookie classes, so they got a shorter break.
- 1:16:33Speaker 8: We've demanded more of them both mentally and physically, and
- 1:16:36Speaker 8: we've put him in situations in the game that we
- 1:16:39Speaker 8: weren't putting them in the previous two years earlier in
- 1:16:41Speaker 8: the game when it matters an accounts. So you know,
- 1:16:45Speaker 8: I think it's been a very successful transition for us.
- 1:16:48Speaker 3: That's Trent Balkey during the game broadcast on television Saturday

- 1:18:28Speaker 3: trade value for a quarterback needy team like the Vikings?
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: Zero?
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: And why would you trade him? Yeah?
- 1:18:35Speaker 4: First of all, you're not going to trade him for
- 1:18:37Speaker 4: what they give you. Let's say they give you a fourth, fifth,
- 1:18:39Speaker 4: sixth rounder. And the Vikings, yes, they lost to JJ McCarthy,
- 1:18:46Speaker 4: but they also signed the off season Sam.
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: Darnold knowing Nick, and they have Nick Mullins.
- 1:18:52Speaker 4: Nick Mullins, I mean, they're not gonna They're I don't
- 1:18:54Speaker 4: think they're in the market even to trade for a quarterback.
- 1:18:57Speaker 5: No.
- 1:18:59Speaker 3: Next quest at Tartan Teel, do you do the three
- 1:19:02Speaker 3: of you have predictions for the stat lines of Parker
- 1:19:05Speaker 3: Washington and Tank Bigsby this year.
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: Both have really impressed so far.
- 1:19:08Speaker 4: I go over the season. Yeah, yeah, I'll take a
- 1:19:12Speaker 4: shot at this. I'm gonna say six hundred and fifty
- 1:19:18Speaker 4: yards rushing for Tank and a lot two hundreds a
- 1:19:23Speaker 4: lot two hundred yards receiving, now one hundred and fifty receiving.
- 1:19:28Speaker 3: So you say they're going to go what twelve or
- 1:19:30Speaker 3: two thousand rushing yards as a combo this year.
- 1:19:33Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean that means six fifty four thirteen
- 1:19:37Speaker 4: to fifty for I don't think I don't have too much.
- 1:19:39Speaker 4: I don't have Travis getting thirteen to fifty. No, I
- 1:19:42Speaker 4: think Travis is a eleven hundred Okay. I think Parker
- 1:19:48Speaker 4: Washington has between twenty five and thirty catches for three
- 1:19:55Speaker 4: hundred and fifty yards. I mean a couple of touchdowns.
- 1:20:00Speaker 4: I'm assuming that Kirk stays healthy the whole year, so
- 1:20:03Speaker 4: he'll be the backup slot.
- 1:20:07Speaker 2: Okay, how many yards did you say for Parker Washington?
- 1:20:10Speaker 4: I said between twenty five to thirty catches and about
- 1:20:14Speaker 4: between two fifty to three hundred, so ten yards a catch.
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds about right. I would do okay on
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: that one. I think you're way high on thingsby you
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: don't think he gets six to fifty, No, more like
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: five hundreds too high?
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: Okay? And what's Travis getting Travis et in junior pete?
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: I think I think Tony's about right with that one,
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: probably eleven hundred. I mean, what do you think they
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: rushed for as a team?
- 1:20:39Speaker 4: I mean you, well, whatd they rush for last year?
- 1:20:41Speaker 4: Travis had I think right at eleven hundred last year, right,
- 1:20:47Speaker 4: and I don't know what they were. They rushed for
- 1:20:53Speaker 4: like seventeen hundred last year.
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: Standby they average your here, I'll tell you what they
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: average is what they are. I got the average ninety
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: six point eight eight per game, so right about seventeen hundred.
- 1:21:02Speaker 4: Yeah, so seventeen hundred. So I'm saying they're gonna be okay,
- 1:21:04Speaker 4: But let's just say it's seventeen hundred. Okay, say sixteen fifty.
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: Right, so then you have you have them at If
- 1:21:11Speaker 2: I get five hundred and eleven hundred.
- 1:21:13Speaker 4: That's sixteen, that's six hundred. Well I have six fifty
- 1:21:16Speaker 4: at seventeen fifteen. And let's say, uh, Trevor gets another
- 1:21:19Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty. So I've met like eighteen hundred,
- 1:21:21Speaker 4: nineteen hundred yards this year. So I'm bet I'm betting
- 1:21:24Speaker 4: Pete they're gonna have.
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: A better year and stuff like that. You gotta count that, yeah.
- 1:21:28Speaker 4: But I'm betting they're having a better year than they
- 1:21:30Speaker 4: did last year when they were atrocious on the ground.
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: Sixteen got better.
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: I just think six fifty is a lot for your
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: backup running back, though.
- 1:21:37Speaker 4: So let's say, what what did what's middle of the
- 1:21:41Speaker 4: pack last year as far as yards per game rushing
- 1:21:43Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty yards.
- 1:21:44Speaker 2: Pete, Yeah, like a fifteenth ranked team in the league.
- 1:21:47Speaker 2: Last year, the sixteenth ranked team in the league was
- 1:21:49Speaker 2: the Giants at one ten.
- 1:21:50Speaker 4: So what so one ten year ATA is involved in
- 1:21:54Speaker 4: that too, You're right now, basically you're just under nineteen
- 1:21:56Speaker 4: hundred yards at one ten.
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: Right, so that counts reverses. Yeah, quarterback runs, So.
- 1:22:05Speaker 4: Maybe you might be you might be right, So maybe
- 1:22:06Speaker 4: five hundred is better than a But.
- 1:22:08Speaker 3: In theory, Tank would get more work earlier in the
- 1:22:11Speaker 3: season to give Travis more work later in the season.
- 1:22:14Speaker 4: Well, the pace that Travis was on last year, and
- 1:22:17Speaker 4: we said it on the show, was not sustainable the
- 1:22:19Speaker 4: number of touches he had. So I'm expecting I'm expecting
- 1:22:22Speaker 4: Tank to I'm not going to say share the load
- 1:22:25Speaker 4: fifty to fifty running the ball, but.
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: If this team's play, if this team plays, I'll say this, Pete.
- 1:22:30Speaker 4: If this team plays with the lead late in the
- 1:22:34Speaker 4: game and you're in more of that for minute offense,
- 1:22:36Speaker 4: I could see games where Tank has more carries.
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: Well, maybe they should take Travis out on the goal
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: line like Laughlin used to take Fred out on the goal.
- 1:22:47Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised if they put Tank as their
- 1:22:50Speaker 4: goal one back.
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: But see, I never understood that. Well, I don't understand.
- 1:22:54Speaker 4: I didn't understand with Fred because Fred was two hundred
- 1:22:56Speaker 4: and thirty five pounds.
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: Yeah small, he's.
- 1:22:58Speaker 2: Still but I mean, if Etn's your lead back, as
- 1:23:03Speaker 2: your lead back.
- 1:23:04Speaker 4: But I think you're talking apples and oranges. Fred Taylor
- 1:23:08Speaker 4: is bigger than any back on his team. This is
- 1:23:12Speaker 4: all you saying that.
- 1:23:13Speaker 2: This is not just saying in that scenario.
- 1:23:15Speaker 4: I know, Pete, this is all you need to know
- 1:23:17Speaker 4: about Fred Taylor and how great he was. Fred Taylor
- 1:23:22Speaker 4: would be the biggest back on this team, and he
- 1:23:25Speaker 4: would be the fastest back on this team, and he'd
- 1:23:28Speaker 4: be the most elusive back on this team.
- 1:23:32Speaker 2: He might be the fastest player on the team.
- 1:23:34Speaker 3: He very well could be. He ran four two nine
- 1:23:37Speaker 3: or four to three, whatever he ran, he ran as fast.
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: As he Fred Taylor, that's the great You know what,
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: that's the line of the show.
- 1:23:45Speaker 4: Because you're right, JP, Fred ran as fast as he
- 1:23:49Speaker 4: needed to to get in the end zone. I mean,
- 1:23:51Speaker 4: that guy yep.
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: I mean, well, you know what, though Jimmy caught him
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: on his ninety yard run.
- 1:23:57Speaker 4: Well, Jimmy ran as fast as he needed to as well.
- 1:24:00Speaker 4: Those two guys could fly, and here's the difference between
- 1:24:05Speaker 4: them and a lot of guys who can fly at
- 1:24:07Speaker 4: the combine or fly running a forty. They were just
- 1:24:11Speaker 4: as fast in full pads as they were, you know,
- 1:24:17Speaker 4: in jim Short's running.
- 1:24:18Speaker 2: I mean it's just like Jerry Rice. I said to
- 1:24:21Speaker 2: Jerry Rice, he ran four to six when he came
- 1:24:24Speaker 2: out or whatever, and he said, did anybody ever catch
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: me from behind?
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: I said, no, right, no, right Now.
- 1:24:29Speaker 4: There's certain guys, Now there's a lot. I mean Tyreek Hill,
- 1:24:32Speaker 4: he's as fast as he is with pads as he
- 1:24:34Speaker 4: is without. I mean, well he's and he's a track guy, right,
- 1:24:36Speaker 4: that's different. But there are certain guys who play football fast,
- 1:24:40Speaker 4: and Jimmy was one of those guys.
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: He was. Next question, Jag and Tag.
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: Do you think it makes a difference having press Taylor
- 1:24:48Speaker 3: on the sidelines compared to the booth or as a
- 1:24:50Speaker 3: boot because it's preseason, it doesn't.
- 1:24:52Speaker 4: I don't care if it's preseason post skeeds in regular
- 1:24:54Speaker 4: season after season, offseason, no season, full season, it doesn't matter.
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: Can we stop already with this?
- 1:25:04Speaker 4: I'm exhausted and it's not even the regular season of
- 1:25:08Speaker 4: talking about where Press Taylor is in the sidelines, in
- 1:25:12Speaker 4: the press box, who's calling plays? Because here's how this
- 1:25:17Speaker 4: organization works. It's been like this, in my opinion, for
- 1:25:21Speaker 4: the whole time. They build out the play sheet and
- 1:25:25Speaker 4: the call sheet during the week. As a staff, Press
- 1:25:28Speaker 4: and Doug working very closely, and I think when they
- 1:25:31Speaker 4: call the plays, whether it's Press or Doug, both have
- 1:25:34Speaker 4: a lot of input of how the games can be called.
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: Well, here's the other part of it. Where's the There's
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: been coaches, coordinators have been on the sideline, there's been
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: coordinators have been upstairs and coordinators on the sidelines of
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: that success and coordinators.
- 1:25:47Speaker 4: Here's the only thing I want to know if I
- 1:25:50Speaker 4: was king for a day, Press, where are you most
- 1:25:53Speaker 4: comfortable and where are you going to call the best game?
- 1:25:55Speaker 4: Because that's where I'm going to put you right because
- 1:25:58Speaker 4: I don't care if you're on the sideline or the booth.
- 1:25:59Speaker 4: I want to know what's going to give you the
- 1:26:01Speaker 4: best opportunity to call the best possible game.
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: Well, I added it up today. Not counting Doug Peterson,
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: eleven head coaches called plays. They're not in a booth.
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: I don't think it matters.
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: Pete, I don't either. I'm with you, Tony, I agree
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: with your one hundred percent. I don't think it matters.
- 1:26:20Speaker 4: Kevin Gilbright was a great play caller. He was in
- 1:26:23Speaker 4: the sideline correct the year the year called sideline when
- 1:26:29Speaker 4: we went fourteen and two, Tom Tom Kaughlin called the
- 1:26:33Speaker 4: whole year was the offense codinator. I mean he was
- 1:26:35Speaker 4: a called we had a coordinator, but he called every
- 1:26:37Speaker 4: play as the head coach.
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: He was on silent that was uh was that?
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: That was with a crazy man from uh wasn't he
- 1:26:45Speaker 2: from Louisville and the Falcons?
- 1:26:47Speaker 4: And Petrino was the quote unquote coordinator. Yeah, but Tom
- 1:26:53Speaker 4: called plays. In two thousand, Petrino started calm plays.
- 1:26:57Speaker 3: Right, Let's get one more question in at so Ryan
- 1:27:00Speaker 3: looking ahead, Kirk has a cap number of twenty three
- 1:27:02Speaker 3: point three million next year. He is he potentially on
- 1:27:05Speaker 3: the chopping block next off season with tim million of savings.
- 1:27:08Speaker 3: Have to give Washington at least a season as the
- 1:27:10Speaker 3: starter receiving.
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: And take over the role So what are they saying
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: cut him now? I don't know.
- 1:27:16Speaker 2: No, he's talking about oh right now, Well.
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: There's two different thoughts there, I think is the issue.
- 1:27:23Speaker 4: So who picked this question?
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: I did? Is Kirk on the chopping next off season? No,
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: that's one.
- 1:27:29Speaker 4: Well, it depends how he plays this year.
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: Right we're talking about we're talking about who we're gonna
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: cut next year. JP. The fact that of a thousand
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: questions we got on X today, you chose this one.
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: We haven't even cut the team this year yet.
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: And you think I start rushing things when I start
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: talking about the draft only cow? How about this?
- 1:27:48Speaker 4: Here's my answer this question.
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: I don't care.
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: But all I answer it is irritated Tony if but
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: he's right. If Kirk has one hundred catches for you're
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: gonna redo him.
- 1:27:59Speaker 1: Yeah, round, you'll redo it.
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: You'll do it if he has a If he has
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: forty five catches and doesn't do anything, then you'll get
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: rid of him.
- 1:28:06Speaker 4: Here's here's a news flash to you, JP and whoever
- 1:28:09Speaker 4: wrote that question, Christian Kirk is the most important, you
- 1:28:13Speaker 4: could argue, the most important offensive player on this team
- 1:28:17Speaker 4: besides Trevor Lawrence I agree.
- 1:28:20Speaker 2: And here's the other part of that. Equazy does he
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: really was part of that question. He wants them to
- 1:28:24Speaker 2: get rid of now and to.
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: Get Washington some snaps.
- 1:28:30Speaker 4: I don't understand the question. I don't understand how you
- 1:28:33Speaker 4: picked the question.
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: I don't like this is on your part.
- 1:28:37Speaker 3: That's like, ye, you know what, I'll take that one
- 1:28:41Speaker 3: and I take you know. That's that's my response. We're
- 1:28:45Speaker 3: talking about and I have picked a back.
- 1:28:46Speaker 4: Cat management in twenty twenty five when we haven't played
- 1:28:49Speaker 4: a regular season game.
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: And by the way, we're talking about one of our
- 1:28:52Speaker 1: best players.
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: On the team you have to draft in October. JP
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: starts to go nuts you out there, he's got this cut.
- 1:29:00Speaker 2: We haven't even kicked off the season here yet.
- 1:29:04Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on a limba.
- 1:29:06Speaker 4: My guess is Kirk's gonna have a good year this
- 1:29:07Speaker 4: year and he's gonna probably be an important part of
- 1:29:10Speaker 4: the future, and.
- 1:29:11Speaker 2: They'll redo his contract dictate less than the cap it.
- 1:29:13Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know if anyone's watched this team
- 1:29:15Speaker 4: when Kirk's on the field and the difference when he's not.
- 1:29:18Speaker 1: We saw it. We saw it in December, and how
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: he is able.
- 1:29:21Speaker 4: To make plays from the slot. How he's one of
- 1:29:23Speaker 4: the smartest football players on this team. How he's a
- 1:29:26Speaker 4: leader on the team. Like I can't I can't say
- 1:29:28Speaker 4: enough good things about Kirk and this is someone When
- 1:29:32Speaker 4: we signed him two years ago, I was like.
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: Wow, did we overpay for him? Let me tell you
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: what the answer is.
- 1:29:37Speaker 4: No, I was an idiot.
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: We didn't overpay for that.
- 1:29:39Speaker 2: Is that right?
- 1:29:42Speaker 4: You got it right, Pete, you were dead on. I mean,
- 1:29:43Speaker 4: I liked him as a player, but I'm like, wow,
- 1:29:45Speaker 4: that's a lot of money for a slot receiver. Like
- 1:29:47Speaker 4: he's earned every dollar that we have paid him.
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: He is a pros pro.
- 1:29:53Speaker 4: He's an outstanding player, he's a leader, he shows up
- 1:29:56Speaker 4: the work like he's a dang good football player.
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: By the way, the more I watch that rookie wide receiver,
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: the more I like.
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: It's getting better.
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: He can.
- 1:30:07Speaker 4: We're talking about Brian Thomas junior.
- 1:30:08Speaker 2: He can.
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: He can fly like catch on the sideline.
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: That was a heck of a rowdy ran.
- 1:30:15Speaker 4: I agree, he gets behind anyone he wants.
- 1:30:20Speaker 3: Yeah, who, I'll do a questions for twenty Yeah today,
- 1:30:26Speaker 3: give me another week.
- 1:30:27Speaker 4: I got a question when we open the season in
- 1:30:30Speaker 4: the new stadium in twenty twenty eight. Who do you
- 1:30:33Speaker 4: think will be our starting five offensive lineman?
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: Oh man, I just hope I'm alive. Then we're back
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: in a moment.
- 1:30:41Speaker 4: Hey, Pete, we're all day to day baby.
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: A Jag fans.

- 1:31:14Speaker 3: We're at the Hundai studios of the Miller Electric Center. J. P.
- 1:31:17Speaker 3: Shadwick with Hall of Famer Tony BUSSELLI Pete Prisco, isn't
- 1:31:21Speaker 3: our personal Hall of Fame. He's down in South Florida.
- 1:31:24Speaker 3: He should be in the Hall of Fame. He should
- 1:31:26Speaker 3: get the Writer Award. Why haven't you gotten that, Pete?
- 1:31:29Speaker 2: A good question, but I have an idea.
- 1:31:35Speaker 4: Pete is one of the more underrated, underappreciated national.
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: Misunderstood.
- 1:31:44Speaker 4: That's no, he's understood. That's part of the problem. That
- 1:31:52Speaker 4: is part of the problem. But I'm not just saying
- 1:31:55Speaker 4: this because he's one of my good friends, but one
- 1:31:56Speaker 4: of the best in the business. What he does and
- 1:31:59Speaker 4: does not get the recognition he deserves.
- 1:32:02Speaker 2: Well, thank you.
- 1:32:02Speaker 4: That's a fact.
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: Yes, that is a fact.
- 1:32:05Speaker 4: Now sometimes sometimes it's because he says stuff that people
- 1:32:08Speaker 4: don't want to hear, which I enjoyed personally.
- 1:32:10Speaker 2: And there are a lot of guys, by the way,
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: that should be in the Hall of Fame that don't
- 1:32:13Speaker 2: even get sniffs. And I'll give you Rick Stroud, who
- 1:32:16Speaker 2: wrote the book with Tom Moore, by the way, longtime
- 1:32:18Speaker 2: Bucks writers covered the Bucks as long as I cover
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: another one. But he doesn't play the game. Armando Silgarrett
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: covers the Dolphins for years, and Networks doesn't play the game.
- 1:32:28Speaker 2: And so it's almost become a situation where if you don't,
- 1:32:31Speaker 2: you know, go to dinner with certain people or do this,
- 1:32:34Speaker 2: you're not going to get in. And so I've resigned
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: my fact that I'm not getting in. And if that's
- 1:32:38Speaker 2: like Tony, like you used to say, if that's the
- 1:32:40Speaker 2: worst thing that happened in my life, I had a
- 1:32:43Speaker 2: hell of a life.
- 1:32:44Speaker 4: Yep, yep, yep, yep. People who know you, and people
- 1:32:47Speaker 4: who cover the game like you do, and people who
- 1:32:49Speaker 4: played the game that you covered, they know, they know
- 1:32:53Speaker 4: the quality of reporter that you are and that you
- 1:32:56Speaker 4: do the work.
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: And if you get in, if you think I appreciate that,
- 1:33:00Speaker 2: If I got in, I wouldn't be able to sit
- 1:33:01Speaker 2: around and make any more money for signing my signature anyway,
- 1:33:04Speaker 2: So it's not.
- 1:33:04Speaker 4: Worth Yeah, Pete, I don't think you're getting any extra
- 1:33:07Speaker 4: cash for being in there.
- 1:33:12Speaker 3: For eleven years, dream Finders Homes has been proud to
- 1:33:14Speaker 3: call themselves the official homebuilder of the Jags. Visit dreamfinders

- 1:33:23Speaker 1: They did?
- 1:33:24Speaker 4: They build a great home, I mean outstanding home.
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: I haven't seen that home yet.
- 1:33:30Speaker 4: Yeah, they built You've been there the new house. No,
- 1:33:35Speaker 4: that's not true.
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: I invited you last year.
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: But did you for Christmas last I did? I?
- 1:33:40Speaker 4: Actually, Pete, to be clear, I invited him for Thanksgiving
- 1:33:44Speaker 4: and Christmas and he turned both of them down. He
- 1:33:50Speaker 4: was calling a game on Thanksgiving for Christmas, and then
- 1:33:53Speaker 4: I went to see my family, well my fa more important.
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: Yeah, so I've invited it to go see his dad's
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: so dad could spend no ripping on me.
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: Right o.
- 1:34:05Speaker 4: We dreamfinders, they build an outstanding home. I can't say
- 1:34:08Speaker 4: enough about that group.
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: All we did over Christal Center was talk about Pete.
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: That's all we did.
- 1:34:14Speaker 2: Well, you know that's become a running gag now. I
- 1:34:16Speaker 2: hope your dad knows that, right.
- 1:34:19Speaker 4: Uh.
- 1:34:19Speaker 3: This week ahead, final week of preseason. They've got a
- 1:34:22Speaker 3: couple of practices left here and then its starters in
- 1:34:25Speaker 3: the game Friday in Atlanta, maybe a couple quarters. We've
- 1:34:30Speaker 3: talked about offensive line all five expected to go in
- 1:34:33Speaker 3: the game for the first time this preseason, and the
- 1:34:37Speaker 3: defense out there too, so they've been they're gonna work
- 1:34:40Speaker 3: on a little bit of a game plan this week.
- 1:34:42Speaker 3: So full steam ahead, right Tony.
- 1:34:45Speaker 4: Yeah, I think this is important just the first half.
- 1:34:47Speaker 4: I mean, obviously gold number one has come out healthy.
- 1:34:54Speaker 4: But I view Atlanta, new coach, new quarterback, middle of
- 1:35:01Speaker 4: the road NFC South team, you know, middle of the road.
- 1:35:07Speaker 4: So if we think if the Jaguars are who we
- 1:35:09Speaker 4: want them to be, and we think they can be,
- 1:35:11Speaker 4: not that you have to go hang twenty eight.
- 1:35:13Speaker 1: On them or and shut them out.
- 1:35:14Speaker 2: But you need to go control the first half, right,
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: move the ball, Yeah, just control stop them.
- 1:35:19Speaker 4: Yeah, just control the game in the first half. I
- 1:35:21Speaker 4: think that you know, one healthy two controlling the game
- 1:35:27Speaker 4: when your starters are in there. I think that's what
- 1:35:29Speaker 4: the outcome you're looking for going into you know, basically
- 1:35:34Speaker 4: over a two week break before you kick it off
- 1:35:37Speaker 4: for real.
- 1:35:37Speaker 2: I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna make a prediction here.
- 1:35:42Speaker 2: Brian Thomas will catch a long touchdown pass in that game.
- 1:35:46Speaker 3: Do you want to do you want to lock that Pete?
- 1:35:48Speaker 3: Lock it a lock in the final segment, Brian Thomas.
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: What's long? What's your definition of long? I like that lock.
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: He's been playing better.
- 1:36:03Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's I want to see some deep balls
- 1:36:05Speaker 2: going down the field, some shots hit, and I want
- 1:36:08Speaker 2: to see the offensive line show up, show up. That
- 1:36:12Speaker 2: is not a great defensive line for the Falcons, So
- 1:36:15Speaker 2: go and show up, run the ball, push them around,
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: protect the quarterback.
- 1:36:22Speaker 1: Sounds like a player to me, and defensively.
- 1:36:24Speaker 2: Stop the run. Yeah, that's a he's a good bat,
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: that's a good there's talent on that offense.
- 1:36:31Speaker 3: Now we saw what he did, I mean did he plays.
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: Pretty good too. By the way, they're gonna give him
- 1:36:38Speaker 2: a test.
- 1:36:39Speaker 4: Yeah, they're they play physical. I'm not sure how talented
- 1:36:42Speaker 4: they are, but they're well coached.
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: But the right guards might be the best right guard.
- 1:36:48Speaker 4: I'm just saying it's all five across the board. But
- 1:36:50Speaker 4: my point, like, I think, I think Matthews is a
- 1:36:53Speaker 4: good left tackle. He's not great McCrary. They're right tackles.
- 1:37:00Speaker 4: Little bit limited as far as athletically, but big, tough,
- 1:37:03Speaker 4: strong guy physical, So I mean, and I think they're
- 1:37:06Speaker 4: you know, the way they want to play with Robinson
- 1:37:09Speaker 4: and kind of other structured. I think it'll be a
- 1:37:11Speaker 4: good physical matchup.
- 1:37:13Speaker 3: Pete, great show as always. We'll talk to you again.
- 1:37:15Speaker 3: Uh in two weeks. We won't have one on Labor
- 1:37:17Speaker 3: Day next.
