- 0:19Speaker 1: Philip Heilman covers the Jaguars high Field. So if we
- 0:23Speaker 1: gotta start. Christian Galen is the groundskeeper at the baseball
- 0:26Speaker 1: grounds of Jacksonville. I got a text from here to
- 0:28Speaker 1: day if there's a divot along the first baseline, they
- 0:31Speaker 1: have to bring dirt in and fill. What happened Philip
- 0:33Speaker 1: last night? You know you you're at a baseball game.
- 0:36Speaker 1: You have a couple of adult beverages, and suddenly a
- 0:40Speaker 1: nice young lady asked you to participate in a between
- 0:42Speaker 1: Indians game. Next thing you know, you're running down the
- 0:45Speaker 1: first base line south Paw. I would say, uh, very
- 0:49Speaker 1: dangerously jumped in front of me. I would say, it
- 0:53Speaker 1: caused me to fall, uh head over tea kettle. I
- 0:57Speaker 1: would say, got the great But the important thing uh
- 1:00Speaker 1: as I got up, got my shoes on, still won
- 1:02Speaker 1: the race, and uh no hard feelings with Heuthball. Yeah
- 1:05Speaker 1: you signed the waiver. I hope I did. Yes, that's good. Yes,
- 1:08Speaker 1: that's good for the don't worry. Let's get to Jaguars. O. T. A. S.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Shall we Um. Let's start with Nick Foles. He spoke
- 1:16Speaker 1: today just a little early right after practice at the podium.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Unbelievable week for him and his family. For him to
- 1:23Speaker 1: even be back at work this week tells you a
- 1:25Speaker 1: lot about his role with this football team. Brian, you
- 1:27Speaker 1: had a chance to be over there at that pressure.
- 1:29Speaker 1: What did you take away? Well, I thought, like you
- 1:31Speaker 1: kind of mentioned, I think we were all surprised when
- 1:34Speaker 1: Nick showed up this week, given that everything that he
- 1:36Speaker 1: and his family and Tory have been through. So when
- 1:38Speaker 1: he was back out there on the practice fields on Thursday,
- 1:41Speaker 1: it was kind of like, wow, you know, this guy
- 1:43Speaker 1: has been through an entire lot this weekend Um. Nick
- 1:46Speaker 1: was very, very touching with what he said. At a
- 1:48Speaker 1: point he almost kind of broke down. You can see
- 1:50Speaker 1: how this is still obviously you know, weighing heavily on him,
- 1:53Speaker 1: but he wanted to make it very clear that he
- 1:56Speaker 1: would not be here at practice if it wasn't for
- 1:58Speaker 1: his wife. He felt like to where he said that
- 2:00Speaker 1: it was important for him to be here with his teammates,
- 2:02Speaker 1: and he said very simply, you know, if she wanted
- 2:05Speaker 1: me to be at home right now, like I wouldn't
- 2:06Speaker 1: be here, I would be at home with her. And
- 2:08Speaker 1: it was just a really touching um the way that
- 2:11Speaker 1: he shared everything that he and his family have been
- 2:13Speaker 1: through over the last week or so. Philip, it's amazing
- 2:16Speaker 1: how quickly he's made himself a part of this Jacksonville community.
- 2:20Speaker 1: It seems like everybody's a fules fan of the sudden.
- 2:23Speaker 1: He ain't even thrown the pass in a game yet,
- 2:24Speaker 1: that's happened pretty quick around here. Yeah, certainly, and I
- 2:27Speaker 1: think obviously the circumstances would not wish on anybody, But
- 2:31Speaker 1: to me, it's it's really such an indication of who
- 2:34Speaker 1: Nick Foles is as a person, because we saw him
- 2:36Speaker 1: when he got up here, and it was a lot
- 2:38Speaker 1: of talk about how his faith has driven him. And
- 2:40Speaker 1: you know, that's really easy to say when you're just
- 2:43Speaker 1: signing a four year, eighty eight million dollar contract. You're
- 2:45Speaker 1: going to be the entrenched starter, you're You've got all
- 2:48Speaker 1: these great things happening in life. Your wife is pregnant,
- 2:51Speaker 1: she's next to your young daughter is there as well.
- 2:53Speaker 1: It's very easy to you know, sort of lean on
- 2:55Speaker 1: your faith and praise the Lord during those times. But
- 2:58Speaker 1: then to come out today, uh, after going through a
- 3:01Speaker 1: tragedy that you know, I think many people have gone through,
- 3:03Speaker 1: but it certainly never gets any easier. And to still
- 3:05Speaker 1: be that sort of rock and talk about the rock
- 3:07Speaker 1: that your wife is and how your faith has uh,
- 3:10Speaker 1: you know, sort of fortified you during this time. I
- 3:12Speaker 1: think it really gives you a glimpse into who the
- 3:13Speaker 1: true Nick Foles is. And I think it's a guy
- 3:15Speaker 1: that his teammates are going to continue to rally around.
- 3:17Speaker 1: This is pretty remarkable, isn't it. It really is. And
- 3:22Speaker 1: and Brian and Philip I couldn't agree more with with
- 3:25Speaker 1: what they said, so I mean, I'll just take it,
- 3:27Speaker 1: you know, a step further. In terms of his performance today,
- 3:31Speaker 1: I thought he was outstanding. I mean, you can see
- 3:34Speaker 1: such an upgrade in terms of his ability to look
- 3:36Speaker 1: off a safety throw, the deep ball, hit the receiver
- 3:40Speaker 1: and stride. I thought I thought one throw in particular
- 3:43Speaker 1: today was U was about as good as you can
- 3:46Speaker 1: do it, and uh and there were others as well.
- 3:49Speaker 1: So again, I you know, to already be back it
- 3:54Speaker 1: it looking like it's such a high level uh with
- 3:57Speaker 1: within echoing everything that these guys said about him per
- 4:00Speaker 1: smally and it's just incredibly impressive individual. And to hear
- 4:03Speaker 1: a guy like a j Boye earlier in the week
- 4:06Speaker 1: talk about the quarterback the way he was talking about
- 4:09Speaker 1: the quarterback, that the windows aren't really there, that that
- 4:13Speaker 1: he had to go interset balls and make plays last
- 4:15Speaker 1: year because the ball is somewhere that the defensive back
- 4:17Speaker 1: can't get to it. That's a that's a major step
- 4:19Speaker 1: for this organization, not just the position in the offense.
- 4:22Speaker 1: I mean, it's this could be a huge step to
- 4:25Speaker 1: where this Jaguars team goes in the next four or
- 4:26Speaker 1: five years here. Yeah, So we've seen, uh, just a
- 4:30Speaker 1: tremendous amount of plays from fall so far. I think
- 4:33Speaker 1: one of the places you're talking about Hayes was a
- 4:35Speaker 1: deep ball to Ketling Cole. You've seen Keitling Cole make
- 4:38Speaker 1: a ton of plays almost kind of going back to
- 4:40Speaker 1: how he looked his rookie season. And I'm sure that
- 4:43Speaker 1: a lot of that has to do with who's on
- 4:45Speaker 1: the throwing end of those passes. So you were seeing,
- 4:48Speaker 1: you know, these receivers have a lot of confidence within
- 4:52Speaker 1: Nick Boles in that hotel, and um, you know, these
- 4:54Speaker 1: guys are really looking forward to doing a lot better
- 4:57Speaker 1: than last year. Went Philip, are you buying it? Are
- 4:59Speaker 1: you buying the Folds hype and he's the man and
- 5:02Speaker 1: gonna be the future here or what? Yeah, I would
- 5:04Speaker 1: caution everybody to maybe tap the brakes just a little bit.
- 5:07Speaker 1: You don't have Jalen Ramsey out there. The contact is
- 5:10Speaker 1: not permitted, they're not wearing pads. But certainly for what
- 5:14Speaker 1: may going into June, he's hitting all the checkpoints and
- 5:17Speaker 1: that's really all you can do this time. You're not
- 5:19Speaker 1: winning the super Bowl this time of year, and as
- 5:20Speaker 1: Doug Martin, like I said, you're not really winning jobs
- 5:22Speaker 1: this time of year. So you know, I don't think
- 5:25Speaker 1: the SEC South was one out there on the practice
- 5:27Speaker 1: field today, but certainly I think for where you want
- 5:29Speaker 1: to be at this time of year, Nick Foles is
- 5:31Speaker 1: taking the Jaguars right there, all right. Philip Eland from
- 5:34Speaker 1: The Times Union, Hayes Carline from Tintin XL Brian Jackson
- 5:36Speaker 1: from Channel four with us on this media round table.
- 5:39Speaker 1: You know, all this offensive talk, we hear about how
- 5:41Speaker 1: Nick Foles utilizes tight ends and and how John d.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Philippo would like to utilize tight ends. We've seen this
- 5:47Speaker 1: in action of course in Philadelphia. That's the storyline all this,
- 5:51Speaker 1: but we've all kind of had a chance recently to
- 5:52Speaker 1: talk to some of these tight ends. That's a real
- 5:55Speaker 1: thing too, and how they're working with tight ends and
- 5:58Speaker 1: and even putting him back in the back old sum
- 6:00Speaker 1: in lieu of a fullback at some points that could
- 6:03Speaker 1: be something in this offense too. Hey, this is uh
- 6:06Speaker 1: the tight ends will have a major role in this
- 6:08Speaker 1: offensive sounds like yeah. I thought it was interesting when
- 6:10Speaker 1: we talked to Flip and he said, really, it might
- 6:13Speaker 1: be outside a quarterback the hardest position to master in
- 6:17Speaker 1: the offense because of everything that they asked them to do, uh,
- 6:20Speaker 1: in terms of lining up in the backfield, blocking, obviously
- 6:23Speaker 1: being an asset in the passing game. And uh, I
- 6:26Speaker 1: think it all starts with Josh Oliver. If he is
- 6:29Speaker 1: that Yanniken gok Way third round steal uh and is
- 6:34Speaker 1: able to have that instant impact as a rookie. H
- 6:37Speaker 1: it would do wonders for this offense, and I hope
- 6:40Speaker 1: as a rookie though it's very tough as workie, but
- 6:42Speaker 1: it's tough for a pass rusher. And Jhn had what
- 6:44Speaker 1: eight sacks as a rookie. I mean if eight sacks
- 6:46Speaker 1: as a rookie for a tight end would probably be
- 6:48Speaker 1: what what would you say the equivalent that would be
- 6:50Speaker 1: if he gave a five hundred yard six hundred yard
- 6:52Speaker 1: receiving season, which I think right now would be Uh.
- 6:56Speaker 1: I mean, I think anybody in this building would sign
- 6:58Speaker 1: up for that right now. I think with what strikes
- 7:01Speaker 1: me about Josh is the consistency. It's rookies will flash
- 7:05Speaker 1: here and there, but it seems like Josh has been
- 7:08Speaker 1: a guy that consistently is showing you something as a receiver.
- 7:12Speaker 1: And when I asked Doug about him before practice, I
- 7:14Speaker 1: thought it was interesting. He said, everything that we saw
- 7:17Speaker 1: on tape with Josh has translated to the field, he said,
- 7:21Speaker 1: So that's been great. We're seeing how well he can run,
- 7:23Speaker 1: we're seeing the great catch radius, uh, and eagerness to learn.
- 7:27Speaker 1: So he said, he's really happy with where he's at,
- 7:29Speaker 1: and he always cautions that you know, the contact aspect
- 7:32Speaker 1: hasn't come into play yet, but you know, he he
- 7:35Speaker 1: referenced that he thinks his blocking technique from what he's
- 7:37Speaker 1: seen so far in the drills is good. So uh,
- 7:40Speaker 1: Josh Oliver will be one of the key players to
- 7:43Speaker 1: watch once the pads go on in training camp gets
- 7:46Speaker 1: going here and in late July with the paths go on,
- 7:49Speaker 1: first second day August. Sure, so Oliver one, I guess
- 7:53Speaker 1: it's pretty much consistent. Slam is the second guy. He's
- 7:55Speaker 1: the veteran, he's the fifth year player. He's had good
- 7:58Speaker 1: numbers in Dallas till he got hurt it last year
- 8:00Speaker 1: and that's been his story. Ken Swains stay healthy and
- 8:03Speaker 1: I talked to him today about that, and it's just
- 8:05Speaker 1: he's had some bad luck, you know, some fractures. Is
- 8:08Speaker 1: nothing about not being prepared. But at some point he's
- 8:11Speaker 1: got to move past that. I don't know how you
- 8:13Speaker 1: can really plan to move past that except go play football. Right,
- 8:16Speaker 1: But those are the top two guys right now. Swain's
- 8:18Speaker 1: gotta be right there as well, and we'll see what
- 8:20Speaker 1: really he has. What do you think? Yeah, those are
- 8:23Speaker 1: obviously the top two guys that you know, foals for
- 8:27Speaker 1: whatever reason. You know, he's a quarterback too. There may
- 8:30Speaker 1: not be a quarterback maybe outside of Brady that uses
- 8:33Speaker 1: tight ends as effectively his foalds Um in the NFL.
- 8:36Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see, like we said, if
- 8:40Speaker 1: um those guys can stay healthy. And one thing that
- 8:42Speaker 1: really stood out about Josh Oliver and talking to him
- 8:44Speaker 1: is saying that his roommate right now is garden to Minshew,
- 8:47Speaker 1: so they've been drawing up plays on the white board
- 8:49Speaker 1: in the hotel room and things of that nature. So
- 8:53Speaker 1: those are the types of things that you want to
- 8:54Speaker 1: hear a rookie saying that they're putting in the extra
- 8:57Speaker 1: time because like like Hayes mentioned, Flip said, his f
- 9:00Speaker 1: tight end position is the hardest, second hardest position in
- 9:03Speaker 1: their offense outside of quarterback. So those are the types
- 9:06Speaker 1: of things that you really want to hear, especially a
- 9:08Speaker 1: rookie uh saying at this time of the year, Philip,
- 9:10Speaker 1: they've thrown so much money at this position over the
- 9:13Speaker 1: years here and it just hasn't worked out. Can this
- 9:17Speaker 1: finally be the answer? Is this or it's gonna take
- 9:19Speaker 1: a little time. I know you want him to to
- 9:21Speaker 1: put up seven hundred yards hazes this year and Oliver.
- 9:23Speaker 1: But I mean it's not. I don't think it's a
- 9:26Speaker 1: one year fix, right, Yeah, I mean I don't think
- 9:28Speaker 1: you're gonna suddenly look back and say, Wow, what a
- 9:31Speaker 1: dynamic position group this is. But it's a position group
- 9:35Speaker 1: that at the professional football level makes sense, which last
- 9:38Speaker 1: year it did not. They were pulling guys off the
- 9:40Speaker 1: street mid season to try to fill in holes and
- 9:43Speaker 1: to just even have stability, to have, you know, consistent
- 9:48Speaker 1: production that's on an upward swing compared to where they
- 9:51Speaker 1: were last year, where they have been in previous years.
- 9:53Speaker 1: I think that is going to be a huge difference. Uh,
- 9:56Speaker 1: you know, whether that is seven hundred yards, but even
- 9:58Speaker 1: four hundred yards from a tight end would give the
- 10:00Speaker 1: offense something that it really hasn't had here in a
- 10:03Speaker 1: long time. And whether it's you know, four hundred yards
- 10:05Speaker 1: from Josh Oliver, uh, you know, three fifty yards from
- 10:08Speaker 1: Jess Swam, a couple hundred yards from O'Shaughnessy, whoever else
- 10:11Speaker 1: is there Suddenly to look up it's wow, Okay, there's
- 10:13Speaker 1: nine hundred thousand yards you're getting from the tight end position.
- 10:15Speaker 1: I think the Jaguars would sign up for that right
- 10:16Speaker 1: away all day, right. I mean, they haven't had that
- 10:19Speaker 1: forever around here for a number of reasons. Let's go
- 10:23Speaker 1: to defense, fellas, shall we. Uh, Okay, everybody's excited about
- 10:27Speaker 1: the defensive sounds like Josh Allen is going to play
- 10:30Speaker 1: defensive end according to Todd Wash and nothing else. Is
- 10:34Speaker 1: that the right move, haz, Yeah, it absolutely is the
- 10:37Speaker 1: right move. I mean, Josh Allen, it was incredible fortune
- 10:41Speaker 1: that he fell to seven and you watch him at Kentucky,
- 10:44Speaker 1: and sure, he might be good in coverage, but Josh
- 10:47Speaker 1: Allen is a game wrecker, is a pass rusher, and
- 10:50Speaker 1: that's what the Jaguars need here. So it doesn't make
- 10:54Speaker 1: a ton of sense. Occasionally, you know, Willie drop maybe, sure,
- 10:57Speaker 1: I mean that Molik Jackson used to drop into coverage
- 11:01Speaker 1: every so often. So, I mean, but it was pleasing
- 11:04Speaker 1: to hear from Todd Wash that Josh Allen is here
- 11:06Speaker 1: to rush the quarterback, to get after him, to be disruptive.
- 11:10Speaker 1: And uh, I think when you've got a lineup of
- 11:13Speaker 1: Yannike and Gockway on one side, Josh Allen on the other,
- 11:16Speaker 1: and you've got Calais Campbell and Marcel Darius, I think
- 11:20Speaker 1: in passing situations. Uh, the Jaguars are as good as
- 11:24Speaker 1: any team right now in professional football, and Philip, they're
- 11:27Speaker 1: gonna run at four three. That was Todd WASH's clear
- 11:30Speaker 1: cut answer the other day. There might be some other
- 11:33Speaker 1: things that happened, but there are four three defense. He
- 11:35Speaker 1: made that clear. Yeah, it was interesting. You know, I
- 11:37Speaker 1: thought it would be reasonable to add some three or
- 11:39Speaker 1: four wrinkles if you add a guy like Josh Allen,
- 11:42Speaker 1: if you have a you know, you hire a defensive
- 11:44Speaker 1: assistant like Dom Capers. But clearly Todd Wash is comfortable
- 11:47Speaker 1: with what he knows and what they've done. And you know,
- 11:50Speaker 1: obviously seen the turnovers and the sacks were much higher.
- 11:54Speaker 1: To the defense overall seemed to play at a much
- 11:57Speaker 1: higher level. But still last year it was a very
- 11:59Speaker 1: solid group with the hand that was dealt, which was
- 12:01Speaker 1: an offense that was without a pulse. So I mean,
- 12:04Speaker 1: I still think that, you know, Todd Wash is probably right.
- 12:07Speaker 1: I do think that he could maybe be a little
- 12:09Speaker 1: more creative, maybe untied things just a little bit. And
- 12:13Speaker 1: and maybe he will. And you know, he's not required
- 12:15Speaker 1: to tell us, Okay, well yeah we're fourth three. But
- 12:17Speaker 1: here's what I'm thinking on third down in the opener,
- 12:20Speaker 1: here's what I'm thinking on, you know, for third and
- 12:21Speaker 1: long situations. Here's what I'm thinking of for a second
- 12:23Speaker 1: and intermediate situation. So I'm sure there's some wrinkles to
- 12:26Speaker 1: be had, but he's not going to have this holistic change.
- 12:29Speaker 1: It's going to be a four three that you've seen
- 12:31Speaker 1: here since Todd wash has been the defensive coordinator. It'd
- 12:32Speaker 1: be pretty cool if we had that list, So, I mean,
- 12:34Speaker 1: you know, I'd like it. Yeah, it would be pretty
- 12:36Speaker 1: nice to see. You wouldn't share it, right, No, of
- 12:38Speaker 1: course we wouldn't share that at all. No, Um, Josh Allen,
- 12:42Speaker 1: I mean, did this guy physically is just the first
- 12:45Speaker 1: time you see set eyes on him when he walked
- 12:47Speaker 1: in the building the other the other months, was like,
- 12:49Speaker 1: oh my goodness. I saw him on draft night and
- 12:52Speaker 1: I was thought like, okay, maybe he's the same size
- 12:54Speaker 1: as Uniqun gug Way. Then so him out here for
- 12:57Speaker 1: the first day of otes and I was like, wow,
- 13:00Speaker 1: its guns Like, he's a lot bigger than Unique and Ghagway.
- 13:04Speaker 1: So as soon as that guy can get on a
- 13:06Speaker 1: he can already see his explosion. And you know, the
- 13:09Speaker 1: couple of drills. Obviously, he hasn't really done much the
- 13:11Speaker 1: last couple of days of O T A S. But
- 13:13Speaker 1: you can see the explosion. You can see why this
- 13:16Speaker 1: guy kind of wrecked SEC offenses last year. Yeah, that
- 13:19Speaker 1: SEC Defensive Player of the Year. Let's move to the
- 13:22Speaker 1: secondary now. A J boy A talked earlier this week
- 13:25Speaker 1: and he's at ot as this year. I think he
- 13:27Speaker 1: has there's a sickness in the family. Last year's father
- 13:29Speaker 1: was not well and I think his father is well again.
- 13:31Speaker 1: So A J's back, which is good news. Um, and
- 13:35Speaker 1: a lot of people might call this a bounce back
- 13:37Speaker 1: year for him. I don't know. I mean, he's still
- 13:40Speaker 1: played okay, but this this team as a whole, just
- 13:42Speaker 1: didn't perform well at the end of the year. I
- 13:44Speaker 1: don't know if he would want to go there. What
- 13:46Speaker 1: do you guys making a J boy Phil, What do
- 13:47Speaker 1: you think about his season coming up and where he
- 13:51Speaker 1: is just here and in the other day. Yeah, I
- 13:53Speaker 1: think the expectation with a J boy was set so
- 13:55Speaker 1: high because I mean I think back to seen they
- 13:59Speaker 1: were real think arguments. Could the Jaguars have both of
- 14:03Speaker 1: the starting first team All Pro corners like it was
- 14:05Speaker 1: reasonable to think Jalen Ramsay and aj Boy it could
- 14:07Speaker 1: have been the first team All Pros and they were
- 14:10Speaker 1: very closer. Both Pro Bowlers, obviously both All pros. UH
- 14:14Speaker 1: certainly could have been very close. So, you know, I
- 14:15Speaker 1: don't think he was bad last year. He contends that
- 14:17Speaker 1: he didn't give up any touched on passes throughout the
- 14:20Speaker 1: entire season, which would be interesting. I don't know, off
- 14:21Speaker 1: the top, I had have to go back to my
- 14:22Speaker 1: notes and look, that doesn't seem right. It felt like
- 14:25Speaker 1: maybe not quite as many plays were made, but that
- 14:27Speaker 1: really was the defense as a whole. Going back, you know,
- 14:30Speaker 1: the sacks dropped tremendously, the the touchdown dropped. There just
- 14:33Speaker 1: none of those splash plays that were so important in
- 14:36Speaker 1: that we're just not there. In So, I don't know
- 14:38Speaker 1: that it's really uh a bounce back year for a
- 14:41Speaker 1: per se. But if he considers himself among that upper
- 14:44Speaker 1: echelon of cornerbacks, he probably doesn't need to bring it
- 14:48Speaker 1: a little bit more this year. I think I think
- 14:50Speaker 1: he's gonna have a huge year. Yeah, it's always hard
- 14:54Speaker 1: to gauge. He could have a very good year and
- 14:57Speaker 1: have two picks, but I think I think it's not
- 15:00Speaker 1: unreasonable to think a J. Boyer will finish with four
- 15:03Speaker 1: or five picks and uh and I think a lot
- 15:06Speaker 1: of other big plays, you know, in in crucial situations.
- 15:10Speaker 1: So I think a J. Boyer is the seventeen version,
- 15:14Speaker 1: not so much version because I think he was playing
- 15:16Speaker 1: through some things. I think a J. Boyer is a
- 15:20Speaker 1: fantastic corner in this league, and the fact that you
- 15:23Speaker 1: know he's playing opposite Jalen really puts him in a
- 15:25Speaker 1: in a great spot. I think the pass rush will
- 15:28Speaker 1: be better, which will lead to more opportunities, and they're
- 15:30Speaker 1: gonna be playing with the lead more uh and so
- 15:32Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have the opportunities to get back
- 15:35Speaker 1: to uh that seen level of playmaking, and I think
- 15:39Speaker 1: a J. Boy will be the centerpiece of that a
- 15:41Speaker 1: great majority of those secs two years ago. We're with
- 15:44Speaker 1: the lead, that's just how and you go out and
- 15:47Speaker 1: make plays and quarterbacks are forcing throws back there they
- 15:52Speaker 1: can make plays, that's right a J. I mean, the
- 15:54Speaker 1: guy's stories unbelievable, undrafted guy worked his way up um.
- 15:58Speaker 1: But hearing from him this week, he just seem to
- 16:01Speaker 1: have that swagger of a couple of years ago back.
- 16:03Speaker 1: You know you didn't wouldn't hear a lot from him
- 16:05Speaker 1: last year in the locker room. He was just kind
- 16:07Speaker 1: of struggling through it, I think, And we didn't really
- 16:09Speaker 1: talk a lot last year. You make it. I think
- 16:12Speaker 1: he's I mean, I think he's naturally kind of a
- 16:14Speaker 1: maybe a quiet guy. But it's kind of interested to see, like,
- 16:18Speaker 1: who's gonna be there? I guess their verbal leader in
- 16:20Speaker 1: that secondary. You know. Now they used to say that
- 16:23Speaker 1: Barry Church was their quarterback of their secondary. Obviously he's
- 16:26Speaker 1: not around. We know who's gonna be you know, vocal
- 16:29Speaker 1: at least different leader back there? Yea, Well we know
- 16:32Speaker 1: once twenty comes into building, that's a completely different story.
- 16:35Speaker 1: But um, during this time, boy, while Jalen is still
- 16:39Speaker 1: doing his own thing and down in Nashville, it's interesting
- 16:42Speaker 1: to see, you know, how Boy I gets these younger
- 16:44Speaker 1: guys up to speed. I mean they don't have a
- 16:46Speaker 1: lot of experience, I mean really outside of you know,
- 16:49Speaker 1: d J. Hayden and slots. Uh. You know, if one
- 16:52Speaker 1: of those guys were to go down, it's like, you know, what,
- 16:54Speaker 1: what do the Jaguars have left? So I think you've
- 16:57Speaker 1: got to breaking into new starters at safety is well,
- 17:00Speaker 1: so that's gonna be a lot of Uh, it's gonna
- 17:02Speaker 1: be really interesting to see how the four or five
- 17:05Speaker 1: of those guys in the secondary kind of all get
- 17:07Speaker 1: on the same page because they haven't really spent that
- 17:09Speaker 1: much time together. All Right, final thoughts here, guys, Philip.
- 17:11Speaker 1: Next week four o T A S. I know we're
- 17:14Speaker 1: all looking forward to that and then the mini camp
- 17:17Speaker 1: after that. But next week four O T as left
- 17:20Speaker 1: to go. What do you expect next week and what
- 17:21Speaker 1: do you have coming up in your coverage and the
- 17:23Speaker 1: TU next week? I would expect hopefully more players here.
- 17:27Speaker 1: I think that's maybe the one thing that you know.
- 17:30Speaker 1: No Leonard for net the last couple of days, No
- 17:31Speaker 1: Yannik Gogaway the last couple days, and these are voluntary.
- 17:34Speaker 1: That's I'll find it good. And each player has different reasons.
- 17:36Speaker 1: But I think if you give Doug Murron some truth serum,
- 17:40Speaker 1: he probably would like maybe a little bit higher attendance.
- 17:43Speaker 1: But yeah, our coverage, some good stuff on safeties from
- 17:47Speaker 1: my colleague Gary Smith's coming up. We'll be talking, talking
- 17:49Speaker 1: and tackling the nick Fole situation some more. My colleague
- 17:52Speaker 1: En Fornet wrote a really good calumn in today's paper
- 17:54Speaker 1: talking to Billy Donovan about going through a similar situation.
- 17:56Speaker 1: So I'd encourage anybody who hasn't read that yet to
- 17:58Speaker 1: go online the Jacksonall Dog Commen do something. It's excellent,
- 18:02Speaker 1: really good reading. Read that this morning. Hey's what you
- 18:03Speaker 1: got on Tent Tent coming up? We will have an
- 18:06Speaker 1: interview with Josh Oliver later today. I enjoyed getting a
- 18:10Speaker 1: chance to speak with him, and uh we will be
- 18:12Speaker 1: breaking everything down as best we can all day long.
- 18:17Speaker 1: I love it, Brian. How about Channel four this weekend
- 18:19Speaker 1: to get something coming up with Chris Connley. He's, you know,
- 18:21Speaker 1: the one receiver spent the most time with Nick Fos
- 18:24Speaker 1: up to this point, so be interesting to see, you
- 18:27Speaker 1: know how he can kind of get some of these
- 18:29Speaker 1: other younger receivers who aren't his used to number seven
- 18:32Speaker 1: back there up to speed. So that'll be coming up
- 18:34Speaker 1: this weekend as well. Sounds great, guys. I really appreciate it,
- 18:37Speaker 1: Brian Jackson. Heyes, Carline, Philip Hayman, good to see you guys.
