0:01
Speaker 1: It is Thursday, September nine. This is Jaguars Happy Hour
0:10
Speaker 1: and now a confused man trapped in a bastion of
0:13
Speaker 1: common sense? Or is that the other way around? J P.
0:20
Speaker 1: I lost track. I'll say that. Welcome in a Jaguars
0:23
Speaker 1: Happy Hour on this Thursday afternoon. Glad you're along with
0:26
Speaker 1: us today, j P. Shadrick with you, and we've got
0:29
Speaker 1: a busy show ahead, a busy couple hours ahead, in fact,
0:33
Speaker 1: a week one preview the Jaguars in the Houston Texans
0:35
Speaker 1: coming up this Sunday at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
0:40
Speaker 1: Will preview that game. Of course, Trevor Lawrence making his
0:43
Speaker 1: debut as his head coach. Urban Meyer. We'll hear from
0:46
Speaker 1: Darryl Bevel, the offensive coordinator, and Joe Cullen, the defensive coordinator.
0:50
Speaker 1: Both of those guys talked today. CBS Sports analyst Adam
0:53
Speaker 1: Archiletta is on the call this Sunday. He'll join us
0:56
Speaker 1: about four fifteen or so today, and Jaguars analyst Jeff
1:00
Speaker 1: Loghman jumps on a Then at five o'clock on the
1:03
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network. It is the season debut of the
1:07
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer Show. The head coach schedule to join us
1:11
Speaker 1: at five o'clock today. Let's recap the week. Let's start
1:16
Speaker 1: with urban Meyer back on Monday, setting the tone for
1:19
Speaker 1: the week ahead in Week number one, confident in the
1:22
Speaker 1: operation of the organization heading into the week. This week important,
1:26
Speaker 1: of course, but in a little different way than it
1:28
Speaker 1: was back in college. Certainly in college it's a you know,
1:32
Speaker 1: it's it's a march madness. You're you know, um, it's
1:37
Speaker 1: just a little different that, you know, you can't lose
1:39
Speaker 1: a game in college and professional football. Reality is reality.
1:43
Speaker 1: But yeah, heck yeah, this is a tone center, this
1:45
Speaker 1: is a center for everything. But it's also the first game. Yeah,
1:49
Speaker 1: so obviously, back in college, you lose one game. Ask
1:54
Speaker 1: ask Clemson, you lose one game and your chances of
1:57
Speaker 1: getting to the college football playoff have gone way way
2:00
Speaker 1: down there, minuscule in fact, that Clemson has to run
2:03
Speaker 1: the table right now, in fact to do that well.
2:05
Speaker 1: In the NFL, you lose one game. There are six
2:07
Speaker 1: team more to go, and it's all about standing. So
2:10
Speaker 1: there's no rankings, you don't have to impress any voters
2:12
Speaker 1: any of that. But obviously it is a big game
2:15
Speaker 1: for urban Meyer. It's his first NFL game. He's getting
2:19
Speaker 1: ready to put it on display for the first time
2:21
Speaker 1: for a lot of people that may or may not
2:24
Speaker 1: believe that he can do it at the NFL level.
2:26
Speaker 1: So I'm sure at some point deep down he's ready
2:29
Speaker 1: to go out and put a good performance together for
2:31
Speaker 1: this football team. The Jaguars named captains this week as well.
2:36
Speaker 1: Seven captains named by the Jaguars. Urban Meyer announced them,
2:40
Speaker 1: but they were voted on by the team. Three on offense,
2:44
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones Jr. The wide receiver, Trevor Lawrence, the rookie quarterback,
2:47
Speaker 1: and center Brandon Linder is the first Jaguars player to
2:51
Speaker 1: have five straight years of captaincy, so he has the
2:55
Speaker 1: full gold Sea on his jersey this year. On defense,
2:59
Speaker 1: there are four captains, Josh Allen, Shaquille Griffin, Ray, Shawn Jenkins,
3:04
Speaker 1: and Miles Jack who spoke with the media this week,
3:07
Speaker 1: it is an honor for the six year linebacker. I
3:11
Speaker 1: just feel like it's one of the highest honors, especially
3:13
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I mean, a lot of um awards
3:16
Speaker 1: to kind of be skewed, but to be in your
3:18
Speaker 1: building and have people, you know what I mean, feel
3:20
Speaker 1: like you deserve to be a captain. I'll truly appreciate it,
3:23
Speaker 1: and especially with the new faces and new you know
3:25
Speaker 1: what I mean, there's so many new guys, a brand
3:27
Speaker 1: new team. So um, I guess to just kind of
3:31
Speaker 1: have that kind of respect and you know, people think
3:33
Speaker 1: that high. It means a lot. So Meyer said the
3:37
Speaker 1: other day that Miles Jack was the leading vote getter
3:39
Speaker 1: of all the votes for captain for the Jaguars this year.
3:43
Speaker 1: I remember the Jaguars last year actually had eight captains
3:46
Speaker 1: on the team. Urban Meyer says in the past he's
3:48
Speaker 1: always wanted a bunch of captains around, so they have
3:51
Speaker 1: seven on the roster this year and another one of
3:55
Speaker 1: those captains, as we mentioned as rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
3:58
Speaker 1: It's just first start the National Football League and the
4:01
Speaker 1: regular season that's coming against the Houston Texans, and Trevor
4:05
Speaker 1: discussing earlier this week, what do expect from the Texans
4:08
Speaker 1: defense this This won't change every week, but just um,
4:13
Speaker 1: just do what I do, don't try to do too much.
4:15
Speaker 1: That's the thing. I got great players around me. Just
4:17
Speaker 1: trusting those guys, trusting Coach Bev, Coach Shoddy, everybody put
4:21
Speaker 1: me in a good position which they have, um, and
4:24
Speaker 1: just just go and play. But as far as defensively, um,
4:27
Speaker 1: just a really sound defense. They don't try to necessarily
4:29
Speaker 1: trick you. They don't have a bunch of crazy looks
4:31
Speaker 1: and you know, all these different coverages. They keep it
4:34
Speaker 1: pretty simple. But the tough thing about that is when
4:37
Speaker 1: you keep something simple, they everyone's exactly where they're supposed
4:39
Speaker 1: to be, so it makes those windows tighter. Um. They
4:42
Speaker 1: do a really good job when they play man coverage
4:44
Speaker 1: of not giving up big plays. So that'll be a challenge. Um.
4:48
Speaker 1: But definitely definitely, like definitely like what we've seen from
4:50
Speaker 1: our group. But um, yeah, they do a good job
4:53
Speaker 1: zone eyes, really good job reading the quarterback, like they
4:56
Speaker 1: they forced ten turnovers this preseason, which is, you know,
4:59
Speaker 1: three games, that's a lot of turnover. So that's one
5:02
Speaker 1: thing that jumps out off the page. And you're looking
5:04
Speaker 1: at just their stats, um, but just the way they
5:06
Speaker 1: fly around has been has been impressive to watch. Trevor
5:09
Speaker 1: Lawrence the first overall pick in the NFL draft and
5:13
Speaker 1: in the common draft era from nineteen sixty seven through now,
5:17
Speaker 1: there have been twenty five first overall pick quarterbacks selected
5:22
Speaker 1: in their first career NFL start, they are a combined
5:27
Speaker 1: four wins, twenty losses, and one tie. The wins Jim
5:31
Speaker 1: Plunkett and seventy one, l and eighty three, Michael Vick
5:35
Speaker 1: and oh one, and the last to do it was
5:37
Speaker 1: David Carr with the Texans in two thousand two. The
5:40
Speaker 1: lone tie Kyler Murray in twenty nineteen. And a lot
5:44
Speaker 1: of the performances is you would expect with the number
5:47
Speaker 1: one overall pick. A lot of times don't have a
5:49
Speaker 1: lot of personnel around number one pick. There's a reason
5:52
Speaker 1: the team is picking number one overall. This one feels
5:55
Speaker 1: a little bit different though. There are a lot of
5:57
Speaker 1: players back from this team that went one in fifteen.
6:02
Speaker 1: On the offensive side, a veteran offensive line they have
6:04
Speaker 1: confidence in. They've added a tight end to the mix too,
6:08
Speaker 1: run block and Chris Manhert's They've got wide receivers the
6:11
Speaker 1: top three they're very confident in, and d J. Chark
6:14
Speaker 1: will be healthy and ready to go. The running back
6:16
Speaker 1: returns they've added a couple to that room as well.
6:19
Speaker 1: So this has maybe a little bit of a different
6:21
Speaker 1: feel of fully revamped defense to go along with that.
6:24
Speaker 1: We just don't have an idea of what it's really
6:26
Speaker 1: all going to look like. Yet we'll find out coming
6:29
Speaker 1: up on Sunday, and hopefully he can buck that trend
6:32
Speaker 1: of number one overall pick quarterbacks struggling early in their
6:36
Speaker 1: rookie seasons. Now on the Jaguar's offensive coordinator Daryl Bevil,
6:40
Speaker 1: ready to push the buttons and get this offense moving
6:43
Speaker 1: and discussing Trevor Lawrence earlier today, really comfortable. I mean,
6:48
Speaker 1: I'm excited about his progress. And you know, it's it's
6:50
Speaker 1: been a daily thing and it still is a daily,
6:53
Speaker 1: daily deal for him. Uh. He puts a lot of
6:55
Speaker 1: effort and time into it. He really works his tail off.
6:58
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's so much at the quarter I
7:00
Speaker 1: has to do, and we take off of him as
7:02
Speaker 1: much as we can, you know, we gotta. We're very
7:04
Speaker 1: fortunate that we have a veteran center, you know, in
7:06
Speaker 1: Brandon Linder, who can take some of that stuff off
7:09
Speaker 1: of him, but you know, ultimately always falls back on
7:11
Speaker 1: the quarterback. So where he's at right now, I'm really
7:13
Speaker 1: excited about good spot to be good offseason for Lawrence.
7:16
Speaker 1: Of course, all positive reports and grades throughout the off season,
7:20
Speaker 1: preseason training camp, the entire thing and that continues now
7:24
Speaker 1: heading into Week one. Well, he also has to have
7:27
Speaker 1: somebody to throw the football too. He hasn't really had
7:30
Speaker 1: a deep threat Lawrence in the preseason, at least until
7:33
Speaker 1: the final game when they signed a couple of guys
7:35
Speaker 1: to bring in to throw the ball down the field
7:37
Speaker 1: a little bit more. One of those should be back
7:40
Speaker 1: this week. DJ Chark Jr. Big year for chart. It's
7:43
Speaker 1: his fourth year contracts season for him. And we heard
7:47
Speaker 1: from Bevil today as well. What does DJ Chark bring
7:49
Speaker 1: to this Jaguars offense. It's huge for us. I mean,
7:53
Speaker 1: he's he's a veteran player, you know, he's he's he's
7:55
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl player, brings great experience to us. I mean,
7:58
Speaker 1: he he really has been working his tail off, you know.
8:00
Speaker 1: And it's unfortunate that he that he you know, hurt
8:02
Speaker 1: that finger because he missed some of the time. But uh,
8:05
Speaker 1: these last I would say three days, Um, he's really
8:08
Speaker 1: kind of hit his stride again. He's got his speed back.
8:11
Speaker 1: He looks really good moving down the field. So I
8:13
Speaker 1: mean I'm decided with him and Marvin and uh lavisca
8:17
Speaker 1: pretty good trio there. And that's the idea at least
8:20
Speaker 1: on offense at wide receiver. Let's move down on the
8:23
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. Joe Cullen ready to dial
8:26
Speaker 1: it up for the first time as a defensive coordinator
8:29
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, a long time in this
8:31
Speaker 1: league as a defensive line coach. Now gets an opportunity,
8:35
Speaker 1: and his first opportunity will be against Tyrod Taylor, the
8:38
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Houston Texans, and Cullen dug deep during
8:44
Speaker 1: the research of Taylor. He's the big thing is when
8:47
Speaker 1: he can make he can make the deep throws. He's
8:49
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl quarterback. He can he can win the
8:52
Speaker 1: game with his feet if if they like to do that,
8:55
Speaker 1: and we're gotta do a great job. So we went
8:57
Speaker 1: back to the all all this time at Buffalo. We
8:59
Speaker 1: opened season with him when when when we were at Baltimore,
9:02
Speaker 1: and the biggest thing we want to do is make
9:04
Speaker 1: sure we kept him in the pocket because that's where
9:06
Speaker 1: he was beating people. So we just go back to
9:08
Speaker 1: see and not necessarily the plays. And then we looked
9:10
Speaker 1: at the the playoff game here and they were doing
9:12
Speaker 1: a lot of Buffalo is doing a lot of similar
9:14
Speaker 1: things that Easton is doing. Booting them out, sprinting them out.
9:17
Speaker 1: So we went back to those two games Jags and
9:23
Speaker 1: and when when Baltimore opened against him digging deep, they're
9:27
Speaker 1: hoping the pass rush can kind of keep him contained.
9:30
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor a six round picked by the Ravens back
9:32
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven. That's a while a code now, he's
9:35
Speaker 1: just kind of hung around the league. He's had some moments,
9:37
Speaker 1: putting a starting time in the regular season against the Jaguars.
9:41
Speaker 1: He's played in two games with one start. He did
9:43
Speaker 1: have that playoff start for Buffalo after the seventeen season,
9:48
Speaker 1: the a f C wild Card playoff game. Jaguars defense
9:51
Speaker 1: was strong, really strong in that game. He had a
9:54
Speaker 1: regular season start against the Jagson sixteen with Buffalo and
9:59
Speaker 1: it was welve of eighteen passing and that one was
10:01
Speaker 1: sacked five times. That is a while ago though, of course,
10:05
Speaker 1: even back to that playoff game after the seventeen season,
10:09
Speaker 1: and we'll see what this defense looks like. A revamped
10:11
Speaker 1: group up front. Can they stop the run? That's a
10:14
Speaker 1: big question this week. The Texans have a stable of
10:16
Speaker 1: veteran running backs behind Tyrod Taylor to work with, and
10:21
Speaker 1: you know, guys have been around the league for a while.
10:23
Speaker 1: Rex Burke headed his ninth season, mark Ingram and his
10:26
Speaker 1: eleventh season in the league. David Johnson and season number seven.
10:30
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay is one of the young guns of the
10:32
Speaker 1: group and he's in his fourth year and he's had
10:35
Speaker 1: a lot of success in the National Football League. So
10:38
Speaker 1: that is a veteran running back room. We'll see what
10:41
Speaker 1: kind of rotation that Texans have and if this Jaguars
10:44
Speaker 1: run defense is fixed. Only one way to find out
10:48
Speaker 1: that's to go out there on Sunday and line up
10:51
Speaker 1: against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium. Plenty to get
10:55

Speaker 1: has been quite a journey for this organization from that
17:04
Speaker 1: time to now, and hopefully it's the start of a
17:06
Speaker 1: brand new future. You're right, I've seen I've seen the
17:10
Speaker 1: Jaguars go through big ebbs and flows from from Gus
17:15
Speaker 1: to uh to Doug Morone and Tom Coughlin and now
17:18
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer. I've seen him as you guys have a
17:21
Speaker 1: lot of different quarterbacks that were supposed to be the answer. Um,
17:25
Speaker 1: But I gotta say, if you want to be optimistic,
17:29
Speaker 1: and you are optimistic, I mean, it doesn't get any
17:32
Speaker 1: better than this. Chrevor Lawrence is now your quarterback. If
17:36
Speaker 1: he can't do it, I don't know who can. So
17:39
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be a bumpy season. There's gonna
17:42
Speaker 1: be us and downs on paper. Right now, he has
17:45
Speaker 1: everything that it takes to be that guy for you guys,
17:47
Speaker 1: so that the enthusiasm is well deserved. Urban Meyer spent
17:51
Speaker 1: the whole offseason, Adam, trying to establish the culture here.
17:56
Speaker 1: I guess the question is, how do you know when
17:58
Speaker 1: a culture is established? When do you stop pressing the
18:01
Speaker 1: gas pedal on that car and and just get going
18:05
Speaker 1: week to week and coaching football games. Or is it
18:07
Speaker 1: a constant evolution and reminder of what the culture should be. Yeah,
18:11
Speaker 1: that's a good question. I don't think. I think you're
18:14
Speaker 1: always toying with it. And I think when you get
18:18
Speaker 1: a locker room in the same message, it becomes stagnant
18:21
Speaker 1: and it becomes on repeat, then you start to lose things.
18:24
Speaker 1: I think culture, certainly, it starts with being able to
18:28
Speaker 1: draft and develop your young talent right and not have
18:32
Speaker 1: to go out and really stock your team with a
18:35
Speaker 1: bunch of different cree agents. You need those pieces, sure,
18:38
Speaker 1: but the culture really comes from from getting those young guys.
18:41
Speaker 1: And one thing, you know, there's I mentioned Gus and
18:46
Speaker 1: I mentioned Coughlin in Maroon. Very different cults, personalities, very
18:51
Speaker 1: different cultures. Both are successful. To me, what it comes
18:55
Speaker 1: down to as a player is very simple. If I
18:58
Speaker 1: buy in to you're teaching me, and I see the
19:02
Speaker 1: result on the field, meaning I make more plays and
19:05
Speaker 1: I'm having success, then I don't really care what kind
19:09
Speaker 1: of coach you are. I don't care if you're positive
19:11
Speaker 1: by us authority too. I don't care what it is
19:13
Speaker 1: because the bottom line is if I buy into you,
19:15
Speaker 1: Amy A better player at the end of the day.
19:18
Speaker 1: And if these coaches and the staff can instill that
19:22
Speaker 1: in the players within your culture, is going to be
19:24
Speaker 1: just fine. But players are really good at at sniffing
19:27
Speaker 1: out like if you're a phony, and if if I
19:30
Speaker 1: buy in and then I'm not getting rewarded, well, then
19:34
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now we have a problem. So
19:36
Speaker 1: I think that's really what it comes down to. And
19:38
Speaker 1: look not to say that the previous two coaches didn't
19:40
Speaker 1: do that, because they are wildly successful, right, it just
19:44
Speaker 1: didn't translate to getting it done on the field. At
19:46
Speaker 1: a martialletta with us. You touched on Trevor Lawrence. He's
19:49
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick and historically number one overall
19:53
Speaker 1: picks struggle from time to time and the first year
19:56
Speaker 1: and a lot of rookie quarterbacks too. It's just the
19:58
Speaker 1: name of the game. This one feels a little different
20:01
Speaker 1: coming in. There's a lot of guys back from a
20:03
Speaker 1: one and fifteen football team on this offense. The entire
20:06
Speaker 1: line is back, a couple of receivers. The running back
20:08
Speaker 1: you're plugging in, Trevor Lawrence. Can they lean on him
20:12
Speaker 1: right away and open up this full playbook or do
20:15
Speaker 1: you work him into it as the week's go along.
20:17
Speaker 1: I don't really think that you can really, you know,
20:21
Speaker 1: throw the kitchen sink. Um, this is going to be
20:24
Speaker 1: a progression, and if you've been around the NFL, there
20:27
Speaker 1: are going to be ups and downs, and there's a
20:29
Speaker 1: good chance he might struggle mightily. The best example I
20:32
Speaker 1: think I can come up with to explain this process,
20:36
Speaker 1: and somebody I was completely wrong on was Josh Allen.
20:40
Speaker 1: I did maybe three or four of Josh Allen's games
20:44
Speaker 1: as a rookie. I had severe questions I had he
20:49
Speaker 1: where he had to come from. He was so raw
20:53
Speaker 1: and he came from I've never seen a quarterback come
20:55
Speaker 1: from that that a level of rowne. Right, he made
20:58
Speaker 1: improvements in the second year, but I still had reservations.
21:01
Speaker 1: You know, there are some basic stuff that he just
21:03
Speaker 1: wasn't getting and I really really questioned on whether or not,
21:07
Speaker 1: you know, he was gonna be an effective quarterback. And
21:09
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, bam, right, and now this
21:12
Speaker 1: guy is legit, like it's the real deal, legit, bona
21:15
Speaker 1: fide guy. But it was our rocky first two years. Um,
21:18
Speaker 1: you see it, you know the early success Baker Mayfield
21:22
Speaker 1: had when he came in, you know, kind of took
21:24
Speaker 1: over and gave Cleveland a shot in the arm, gave
21:26
Speaker 1: him some energy. Then he struggled in your two and
21:29
Speaker 1: he has two questions. You know. Kevin Stefanci comes in.
21:32
Speaker 1: You see last year, he starts to turn it around
21:34
Speaker 1: and starts to make plays again. So I know, we
21:37
Speaker 1: want to see Trevor Lawrence come out and just light
21:39
Speaker 1: it up and be on fire. Chances are that's not
21:42
Speaker 1: gonna happen. But again, if he can't do it, you know,
21:47
Speaker 1: I don't know who can he. He might be maybe
21:49
Speaker 1: the most polished, you know guy coming out of college
21:52
Speaker 1: since Andrew Luck and certainly look had some good times
21:54
Speaker 1: as a rookie. But you just gotta ride the journey
21:58
Speaker 1: and you just gotta be willing to take it. Jacksonville fans,
22:02
Speaker 1: some great moments, some head scratching moments, but that's the
22:06
Speaker 1: beauty of you had a football fan, Adam Archiletta with us.
22:09
Speaker 1: This defense last year couldn't stop the run at all.
22:12
Speaker 1: At them they were thirty first in the league against
22:15
Speaker 1: the run. They made it a priority in the off
22:17
Speaker 1: season though in personnel, to go get a bunch of
22:19
Speaker 1: free agent players up front, a new linebacker. They added
22:23
Speaker 1: a bunch of free agency in the in the defensive backfield,
22:26
Speaker 1: put some draft equity into that too. The question is
22:29
Speaker 1: what is this thing going to look like? On defense?
22:31
Speaker 1: First of all, it's a whole brand new scheme three four,
22:33
Speaker 1: their multiple, a new coordinator, so many new faces. I
22:38
Speaker 1: think that's the real question mark of this game on
22:40
Speaker 1: Sunday is what in the heck is this thing going
22:42
Speaker 1: to look like? Yeah, you know, I think that's a
22:45
Speaker 1: that's a great question. It's funny because you go to
22:47
Speaker 1: the Texan side and they're going they're almost swopping places
22:51
Speaker 1: so tech. The Texans were, you know, extremely multiple and
22:54
Speaker 1: doing all that stuff with with Romeo's influence. You know,
22:57
Speaker 1: now they go to you know, Lovey Smith, who who
23:00
Speaker 1: keeps it more simple and gets guys to play fast.
23:03
Speaker 1: On the other side, you know, if they're gonna bring
23:05
Speaker 1: that that Ravens kind of style that they're kind of
23:08
Speaker 1: known for, it's gonna be extremely multiple. Right. And so
23:12
Speaker 1: you've got a coach that's coming from a place with
23:13
Speaker 1: a track record of doing two things, putting tremendous pressure
23:17
Speaker 1: on the quarterback and playing with an extremely physical style.
23:21
Speaker 1: I mean that's been the Raven blueprint for years. You know,
23:25
Speaker 1: obviously they draft well, they get good players, they develop players. Um,
23:30
Speaker 1: if it resembles anything like what they've been able to
23:33
Speaker 1: build it in Baltimore, then I think it's gonna be
23:35
Speaker 1: a treat. But again, these are two brand new staff,
23:39
Speaker 1: got a bunch of new players, a bunch of new faces.
23:42
Speaker 1: You know this thing is gonna take time. You know
23:44
Speaker 1: they've had to rebuild this thing. Um, but there's no
23:46
Speaker 1: doubt that upfront is where it starts in the NFL.
23:49
Speaker 1: If you've got guys that can, that can be physical
23:51
Speaker 1: and stuff to run and then obviously get after the
23:55
Speaker 1: passer and harass him, that is really the first two
23:59
Speaker 1: ingredients that you need for a top end defense. Adam,
24:02
Speaker 1: it feels like a big year for Josh Allen. He
24:04
Speaker 1: missed a bunch of games last year defensive ind and
24:06
Speaker 1: outside linebacker. Now a little different set up in this
24:09
Speaker 1: scheme for him. What kind of year can you expect
24:12
Speaker 1: from Alan coming off he's healthy now and all this
24:15
Speaker 1: new environment around him. Well, yeah, it always comes down
24:18
Speaker 1: to hell first and foremost, And you know that's the
24:20
Speaker 1: number one thing that can kind of derail a player
24:23
Speaker 1: who has a lot of promise and had some very
24:25
Speaker 1: early success, right, so you know, if he resembles anything
24:28
Speaker 1: like he was as a rookie, hey lights out. Now.
24:31
Speaker 1: As a rookie, he was more of a situational guy,
24:33
Speaker 1: you know, wasn't really a three down guy, and so
24:36
Speaker 1: he got a chance with a pretty good pass thrusher
24:38
Speaker 1: on the other side to take some of the heat
24:40
Speaker 1: off of him, you know, But now he's probably going
24:43
Speaker 1: to be asked to carry the load a little bit
24:45
Speaker 1: um Again, he is being taught and in a system
24:50
Speaker 1: that really has it dialed in on on how they
24:54
Speaker 1: eat protection, how they get after the past, or how
24:57
Speaker 1: they manufacture rush. In order to do that, you've got
25:01
Speaker 1: to have a pretty discipline secondary that can communicate, you know,
25:04
Speaker 1: and not get mixed up and not give you know,
25:06
Speaker 1: free players or free access to some big plays. If
25:09
Speaker 1: their defensive coordinator's history is any any predictor, they should
25:14
Speaker 1: be able to manufacture some pretty good pressures and put
25:17
Speaker 1: a guy like Allen in one on one matchup and
25:19
Speaker 1: I expect that he's gonna emerge. Is you know that
25:22
Speaker 1: premier rushing in that's Adam arch A Lettas CBS Sports

30:08
Speaker 1: Jeff Logaman jumps in now Jaguars analysts, and it is
30:11
Speaker 1: almost kickoff weekend. In fact, it starts tonight down in Tampa.
30:15
Speaker 1: The World champ is gonna go on. I'm excited about
30:17
Speaker 1: that game and everything that you read about the Tampa
30:21
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers and how much better they are this year.
30:24
Speaker 1: That's hard to imagine because they got on such a
30:27
Speaker 1: role at the end last year. If they're better than
30:30
Speaker 1: last year, look out. I mean, it's gonna be a
30:32
Speaker 1: great team and look a great way to celebrate their
30:35
Speaker 1: Super Bowl championship. And also against America's team. I mean,
30:38
Speaker 1: what better way to start the NFL calendar. So the
30:40
Speaker 1: Jaguars will soon be America's team. Okay, there the next
30:44
Speaker 1: thing if you win, if you win, you can become
30:47
Speaker 1: everybody's team. I mean that's the fact. I mean, JP,
30:49
Speaker 1: you go back and and seriously, you go back to
30:53
Speaker 1: the seventies and when I was growing up as a kid,
30:56
Speaker 1: I grew up right in the backyard of the Washington Redskin,
31:00
Speaker 1: which is now the Washington football team. But in the seventies,
31:04
Speaker 1: who was really good, Not well, Dallas was good, that's right.
31:10
Speaker 1: Terry Branshaw, Frank o'haris, Jack Lambert, who was I used
31:13
Speaker 1: to just love Jack Lambert and they became kind of
31:18
Speaker 1: my adopted team, not you know, because they won. So
31:22
Speaker 1: I mean there could be little kids in Kansas and
31:24
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh that could become Jaguar fans if the Jaguars win.
31:28
Speaker 1: It's that's what it's all about. It's about winning. Urban
31:31
Speaker 1: Meyers said to make his NFL regular season debut this week,
31:36
Speaker 1: and you know, he said it the other day in
31:38
Speaker 1: a press conference that he's so detail oriented when it
31:42
Speaker 1: comes to game planning and and having every tip sheet
31:45
Speaker 1: I dotted, tease, cross and everything. And he's really hard
31:48
Speaker 1: on his assistant coaches more than the players. So I'm
31:51
Speaker 1: sure this this week, going into regular season week one, uh,
31:56
Speaker 1: they're probably getting a full full glass of Urban Meyers,
32:00
Speaker 1: if you will, as he gets ready for a football game. Well, look,
32:04
Speaker 1: that's that's the head coach's job. I mean, he basically
32:07
Speaker 1: holds his assistance accountable, who in turn have to hold
32:10
Speaker 1: the players accountable. And the best in the business at
32:15
Speaker 1: it is Bill Belichick. And when you talked two different
32:18
Speaker 1: people that played for Bill Belichick, that's the one thing
32:21
Speaker 1: they always talk about is his attention to detail and
32:24
Speaker 1: how he never met, never missed any situation to where
32:27
Speaker 1: whenever they got into a game, they felt confident what
32:29
Speaker 1: they were doing because they had practiced it. And there's
32:32
Speaker 1: not many coaches that ever missed all of the details
32:35
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, but Belichick is one of them.
32:37
Speaker 1: Ken or Umayer be one of them. Well, his track
32:40
Speaker 1: record is spoken. He's one of the winning his coaches
32:43
Speaker 1: in college football history. Does that translate to NFL success?
32:47
Speaker 1: Not necessarily, but it's sure. You certainly have Look, if
32:51
Speaker 1: you stink as a college coach, there's probably not a
32:54
Speaker 1: real good chance you're gonna be good in the NFL.
32:56
Speaker 1: So at least you know that he has the ability
32:58
Speaker 1: to be a good coach, and so there's excitement there. Yeah,
33:01
Speaker 1: if you stink in college, you're not gonna get You
33:05
Speaker 1: might not be in college that long either. I mean, look,
33:08
Speaker 1: it's uh. I think leadership is obviously it's incredibly important,
33:13
Speaker 1: but at the NFL level, leadership is not everything. You
33:16
Speaker 1: can have great leadership. Jimmy Johnson great leader. Got a
33:21
Speaker 1: lot of respect for Jimmy Johnson. I mean he's a
33:23
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame coach, and he was able to do
33:25
Speaker 1: it in Dallas and do it at a level that
33:27
Speaker 1: was I mean at that time. I mean he was
33:29
Speaker 1: the man. I mean, he was dominant. And then he
33:32
Speaker 1: goes to Miami and it it turns out a little
33:34
Speaker 1: bit different. It's the same thing with Bill Belichick. Bill
33:36
Speaker 1: Belichick was in Cleveland and wasn't able to do anything.
33:38
Speaker 1: But then once he got together with some great players
33:41
Speaker 1: in New England, namely Tom Brady, he was great. So
33:45
Speaker 1: you gotta have both. And because there's been some great
33:49
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and not many though that have not one. Okay
33:53
Speaker 1: with without me, good luck if you if you gave
33:56
Speaker 1: if you're an owner of an NFL franchise and you
33:59
Speaker 1: asked that owner, and if you went to all owners
34:02
Speaker 1: in the NFL today and said, look, you've got a choice.
34:05
Speaker 1: You can either have the greatest coach or the greatest quarterback.
34:08
Speaker 1: Who you're gonna take the greatest quarterback? Yeah? Absolutely, those
34:13
Speaker 1: don't come around. It's all day long. I mean, because
34:15
Speaker 1: that's that's what it takes. And Jaguars have what many
34:18
Speaker 1: views that he could be a great quarterback. And so
34:22
Speaker 1: this is where you get excited, JP. I mean because
34:25
Speaker 1: now the lights are bright, the game's count. There's winners
34:29
Speaker 1: and losers starting tonight, okay, and carrying on into Sunday.
34:33
Speaker 1: So you're gonna see exactly where this football team stands,
34:36
Speaker 1: and you're gonna see where their first overall draft pick,
34:38
Speaker 1: how he measures up. It's awesome. You know. I'm just
34:42
Speaker 1: going back thinking about the coaches that have made the transition,
34:45
Speaker 1: and john were talking about players. You know, Jimmy Johnson
34:48
Speaker 1: had players because they had up all the draft picks
34:50
Speaker 1: and traded her shill Away and all that. Nick Saban
34:52
Speaker 1: didn't have it in Miami. They couldn't get Drew Brees
34:54
Speaker 1: down there. The physical well look, I mean Nick Staven
34:58
Speaker 1: points to that as the reason why he lost. I
35:00
Speaker 1: mean sure, I mean, that's circ quarterback it. You gotta
35:03
Speaker 1: have a quarterback, and what you have won with it
35:05
Speaker 1: probably would have won a lot more than what he did,
35:08
Speaker 1: might have stayed in the in the National Football League longer.
35:10
Speaker 1: But Nick Saban did the wise thing, and he went
35:12
Speaker 1: somewhere where the field is never level. And that's college football.
35:17
Speaker 1: You can always out recruit the other guy. I mean,
35:20
Speaker 1: but I mean that that's a rare talent in and
35:21
Speaker 1: of itself. I'm not saying that anybody can go and
35:24
Speaker 1: win in college football, because obviously that's not the case.
35:27
Speaker 1: But that's what makes football at the college level so
35:30
Speaker 1: much different than the NFL level. Let's get to the
35:33
Speaker 1: quarterback now, Trevor Lawrence making his National Football League debut,
35:37
Speaker 1: and we asked Archiletta this a moment ago. Do you
35:40
Speaker 1: let him lose? Do you work him into the game
35:43
Speaker 1: plan slowly with some high percentage throws, run the ball?
35:46
Speaker 1: But what's the field with Trevor? I think, I think
35:49
Speaker 1: you have to manage the situation. And I really felt
35:53
Speaker 1: that last year with Justin Herbert, the Chargers did, and
35:56
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn did, I think a masterful job of managing him.
36:01
Speaker 1: And what people say, what do you mean by manage him?
36:04
Speaker 1: There were so many situations that the Chargers were in
36:07
Speaker 1: last year where you would have think, okay, you got
36:10
Speaker 1: to let Justin Herbert aired out here. And the Chargers
36:13
Speaker 1: chose to call running plays where they would hand the
36:16
Speaker 1: ball off. So they tried to take as much pressure
36:19
Speaker 1: off of Justin Herbert as they possibly could, and and
36:22
Speaker 1: and it made it an easier transition for him. It
36:25
Speaker 1: allowed him to have the success in my opinion, that
36:28
Speaker 1: allowed him to have the success that he did. If
36:30
Speaker 1: he didn't have that management of the exposure or his exposure,
36:36
Speaker 1: I don't think he would have done as well as
36:38
Speaker 1: he as he did. So how do you do that?
36:42
Speaker 1: First of all, you need to run the football well.
36:44
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a big part of managing your quarterback.
36:48
Speaker 1: So if you run the football well, you take a
36:49
Speaker 1: lot of pressure off of him. And if you're all
36:51
Speaker 1: a sudden, you run a first down play and you
36:53
Speaker 1: end up getting stuff for a one yard game because
36:56
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say minus one because James Robinson never
36:59
Speaker 1: got to stop for kind us whatever, so we just
37:01
Speaker 1: say it's a one yard game. You can't be afraid
37:04
Speaker 1: to turn around and hand it off again because you
37:07
Speaker 1: know what, maybe end up at third and four, Whereas
37:10
Speaker 1: if you throw an incompletion on second and nine, you're
37:13
Speaker 1: looking at third nine, you know, and third and nine
37:15
Speaker 1: is obviously not nearly as good as third and four.
37:17
Speaker 1: So you can't be afraid to hand the ball off
37:19
Speaker 1: on some second and longs. And that's that's all part
37:22
Speaker 1: of the management. And one thing that listening to Daryl
37:25
Speaker 1: Bevil today speak to the media, he talked about keeping
37:29
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence healthy and in the pocket. Urban Meyer talked
37:32
Speaker 1: about that this week about how do we go about
37:35
Speaker 1: keeping them healthy? How do we go about help helping
37:38
Speaker 1: him have success? And because you know, if you go
37:41
Speaker 1: back and you listen to some of my comments in
37:44
Speaker 1: the off season, I thought that it would be easier
37:47
Speaker 1: to transition Trevor Lawrence into the NFL because they could
37:50
Speaker 1: utilize some of his mobility in some packages while he's
37:54
Speaker 1: learning to function in the pocket. I get the impression
37:57
Speaker 1: now that they're like, there's I don't want to say
37:59
Speaker 1: there's saying essentially that they're not going to do that,
38:02
Speaker 1: but they're saying that we don't, you know, they don't
38:04
Speaker 1: want they don't want to do it that way, which
38:06
Speaker 1: in the long run, that's probably the smart decision to make.
38:09
Speaker 1: But I think it's very interesting how much will they
38:12
Speaker 1: actually let Trevor Lawrence run? How much will they incorporate
38:17
Speaker 1: that read option part of the offense into their offense
38:21
Speaker 1: that they're going to use at the NFL level, because
38:23
Speaker 1: that doesn't work if the quarterback is not a legitimate
38:25
Speaker 1: running threat the read option system that's right, because they
38:29
Speaker 1: can just focus on the back at all times or
38:31
Speaker 1: the past that comes off of it. So I mean,
38:33
Speaker 1: I think it's I mean, and that's part of the
38:35
Speaker 1: curiosity about this opening. First off, there's always the curiosity
38:38
Speaker 1: about a first overall pick. But then for me, it
38:41
Speaker 1: goes beyond that. Are the Uston Texans the dumpster fire
38:45
Speaker 1: that everybody says they are? Are they gonna be as
38:49
Speaker 1: bad as everybody says they are? Are the Jaguars offense?
38:52
Speaker 1: Are they Are they gonna not incorporate some of the
38:55
Speaker 1: read options stuff to make sure that they protect their
38:57
Speaker 1: quarterback Trevor Lads? What will the off it's look like?
39:00
Speaker 1: How will the offensive line performingbe? No? Oh, There's so
39:02
Speaker 1: many different questions that you just you're you're anticipating seeing
39:06
Speaker 1: the answers on Sunday, And I think that's what makes
39:09
Speaker 1: this game so unique. If you're looking for the m

Speaker 1: v P of the truck game, then look no further

44:29
Speaker 1: Here's the injury report presented by Baptist Health changing Healthcare
44:33
Speaker 1: for Good. Yesterday's report had Trey Herndon not practicing with
44:36
Speaker 1: a knee issue, Tyson Campbell limited with a calf issue.
44:41
Speaker 1: Both corners and that is the same designation today. The
44:44
Speaker 1: announcement just came down. Both we're the same exact listing is.
44:49
Speaker 1: Yesterday did not practice for Herndon limited today for Tyson Campbell. Yeah,
44:53
Speaker 1: and Tyson Campbell. Hopefully we'll be fine. I think he's
44:56
Speaker 1: gonna be a part of this defense. This wee um
45:01
Speaker 1: when they go to nickel, he's your nickel guy. I mean,
45:04
Speaker 1: will he move to the inside. I think that would
45:06
Speaker 1: depend on matchups. You know, if they want to have
45:09
Speaker 1: a guy that is longer than Tyson Campbell could be
45:12
Speaker 1: in the nickel back, or if they want to have
45:15
Speaker 1: somebody that's maybe you know, if let's say, for example,
45:17
Speaker 1: Danny Amandola, who just recently signed with the Texans, Let's
45:20
Speaker 1: say he lines up in the slot, maybe they feel
45:22
Speaker 1: better if they've got c J on him. You know,
45:26
Speaker 1: I don't know that, but you certainly have that flexibility.
45:29
Speaker 1: Let's get into this Jaguars defense a little bit here,
45:32
Speaker 1: and to that point, Joe Cohen spoke today Jaguars defensive
45:36
Speaker 1: coordinator and said, you know, there's so many different packages
45:39
Speaker 1: and personnel groupings they can have on this defense, and
45:43
Speaker 1: they do and you can craft, you obviously craft those.
45:46
Speaker 1: At his point was you craft them around the personnel
45:48
Speaker 1: you have. You don't just have Ay, we're doing dime,
45:50
Speaker 1: no matter what. You have to have the right guys
45:52
Speaker 1: out there to be able to execute certain things. And
45:54
Speaker 1: it feels like they're gonna really mix this thing up
45:57
Speaker 1: a lot. Well when when he says they're gonna tax
46:00
Speaker 1: it up a lot, and they have all these different packages,
46:02
Speaker 1: you know, and I think the one thing that he said, well,
46:04
Speaker 1: it was very true. He said, you don't run packages
46:07
Speaker 1: just to run package. So you're running packages because there's
46:10
Speaker 1: a purpose to it. For example, let's say you want
46:13
Speaker 1: to have four down in in your nickel out there. Okay,
46:17
Speaker 1: but the down and distance might be you know, because
46:20
Speaker 1: you're facing the Texans, and the Texans are gonna want
46:22
Speaker 1: to be trying to run the football quite a bit,
46:25
Speaker 1: so you're concerned about them maybe trying to run the football. Well,
46:28
Speaker 1: if that's the case, then you may end up having uh,
46:32
Speaker 1: let's say Von Hamilton's at one defensive tackle and Malcolm
46:36
Speaker 1: Brown at the other defensive tackle, and then you might
46:38
Speaker 1: have Jawad jod Ward at one defensive end and Smooth
46:42
Speaker 1: at the other defensive end. It's kind of a big
46:44
Speaker 1: nickel package, right, Well, if it's all of a a sudden
46:47
Speaker 1: you're feeling like they're gonna really throw the football. Jahad Wards,
46:50
Speaker 1: Now a three technique smoot might be a three technique
46:54
Speaker 1: and then you got Caleb and chays On and Josh
46:56
Speaker 1: Allen outside on as your rushers. You know. So, I
46:58
Speaker 1: mean there's there's a lot of ways to play a package,
47:03
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of ways to play that's in
47:04
Speaker 1: a nickel package. It's no different playing in your base personnel.
47:08
Speaker 1: You have some flexibility there. And that's the one thing
47:12
Speaker 1: about this defense is that you have guys that can
47:14
Speaker 1: do multiple things. And the more each guy can do,
47:16
Speaker 1: the more flexibility that you have as a coach, and
47:19
Speaker 1: the harder it is for an offensive coordinator say hey, look,
47:23
Speaker 1: let's really attack this. Because they have that personnel grouping
47:26
Speaker 1: on the field from the front seven, they can do
47:29
Speaker 1: a lot of different things out of that. So there's
47:31
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to attack a certain area. But
47:33
Speaker 1: the one thing that I do know this week, the
47:36
Speaker 1: Texans are gonna come out and they're gonna try to
47:38
Speaker 1: run the football. I mean they're gonna try to. I
47:39
Speaker 1: mean they're and there. It's not gonna be just okay,
47:41
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a halfhearted dedication to it. It is
47:44
Speaker 1: gonna be a full blown We're gonna run the football
47:47
Speaker 1: and run the football, and run the football, and run
47:49
Speaker 1: the football and run the football because they want to
47:52
Speaker 1: make sure that they can run the ball, play action,
47:56
Speaker 1: run the ball, run the ball, run the ball, play action.
47:59
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor is at his best when he's moving bootlegs
48:02
Speaker 1: out of the pocket, play action and uh. And they
48:05
Speaker 1: have a whole stable of running backs to help them
48:08
Speaker 1: run the football. They got five on the roster, guys
48:12
Speaker 1: that have been around the league for a minute. Me
48:15
Speaker 1: just just the sheer number that they have at that
48:18
Speaker 1: position ought to tell you where where their thought process
48:21
Speaker 1: is from a game planned standpoint. You've got five running backs,
48:25
Speaker 1: you're gonna run football. If you've got eight wide receivers,
48:29
Speaker 1: chances are you might want to throw the football a
48:31
Speaker 1: little bit, you know. So the Texans have revamped their
48:35
Speaker 1: offensive line. They went out and they signed Justin britt
48:38
Speaker 1: as a free agent off the street. He's coming off
48:40
Speaker 1: in a c L that he suffered a nineteen. They
48:42
Speaker 1: moved Titus Howard from right tackle over the left guard,
48:46
Speaker 1: and they've moved some guys around. Andy heck Son is
48:48
Speaker 1: out this week because of COVID, So could they have
48:51
Speaker 1: Marcus Cannon, who you know, the former New England Patriot
48:54
Speaker 1: that opted out last year and who's been a good
48:57
Speaker 1: tackle in the league. I mean, so that they have
49:00
Speaker 1: they have revamped their offensive line, added a stable of
49:03
Speaker 1: running backs because they will be committed to the running game.
49:06
Speaker 1: The uh yeah, and then Tyrod Taylor. We you know,
49:09
Speaker 1: we've heard from Joe Cohen today. We heard earlier in
49:12
Speaker 1: the week from Reverend Meyer about the quarterback for the
49:15
Speaker 1: Texans in this week's game. He's been around the league
49:17
Speaker 1: for a long time, has had some success in his past,
49:21
Speaker 1: but it's really been a never really been a consistent
49:25
Speaker 1: starting quarterback in the league. Was with the Chargers a
49:28
Speaker 1: few years ago. Where he got it was getting a
49:30
Speaker 1: shot in his ribs and it was last year, right
49:33
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, he was getting ready to play in
49:36
Speaker 1: a game. He had a couple of cracked ribs and
49:38
Speaker 1: he was taking a painkilling injection and then the doctor,
49:42
Speaker 1: I guess, pushed the needle in too far. It punctured
49:45
Speaker 1: as lung and and there was major concern. Had rushed
49:48
Speaker 1: him to the hospital and he did not play again
49:51
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year, but he is a good,
49:53
Speaker 1: really good backup. Tyrod Taylor is the one reason why
49:56
Speaker 1: they brought him those because Collie, the head coach of
49:59
Speaker 1: the Hexans, had a relationship with him because they were together,
50:03
Speaker 1: I believe in Buffalo UH back in seventeen when Tyrod
50:08
Speaker 1: Taylor was the starter there. So that's where that relationship
50:11
Speaker 1: came from. And I think originally they wanted to have
50:13
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson there even if UH where. They wanted to
50:16
Speaker 1: have Tyrod Taylor there, even if DeShawn Watson was going
50:19
Speaker 1: to be the quarterback, because David Culley felt so strongly
50:22
Speaker 1: about the example that Tyrod Taylor sets. Well, then everything
50:27
Speaker 1: kind of went to hell in a hand basket with
50:29
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson and the allegations and you know, the demand
50:34
Speaker 1: that he wants to be traded and all that stuff happens.
50:36
Speaker 1: And so now you've got a guy that is And
50:40
Speaker 1: I will tell you this about Tyrod Taylor. He is
50:44
Speaker 1: an average quarterback. That's what he is. I mean, average
50:48
Speaker 1: quarterback at best. He's probably not might not even be
50:50
Speaker 1: an average quarterback. But if he gets out of the
50:53
Speaker 1: pocket and he creates what we call scramble rules or
50:56
Speaker 1: buys time outside of the pocket. Then he becomes a
50:58
Speaker 1: dangerous quarterback because things become off schedule and he can
51:02
Speaker 1: make throws down the field. So what you want to
51:04
Speaker 1: do with him is keep him in the pocket, make
51:07
Speaker 1: him function as a pocket passer. If he gets out,
51:10
Speaker 1: that's where he can hurt you. The Texans receivers are
51:13
Speaker 1: much different looking than they have been over the last
51:15
Speaker 1: few years. Around there, they have a lot of changes.
51:18
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks is there now, Chris Conley is now in
51:21
Speaker 1: the wide receiver room. Uh, it's not quite as deep
51:25
Speaker 1: as it has been in the past there obviously when
51:27
Speaker 1: they had the bigger names that were in that room. Well,
51:30
Speaker 1: Cooks has been all over the place. I mean he's
51:32
Speaker 1: been traded like like five times. I'm being kind of
51:35
Speaker 1: facetious there, but he's been traded a bunch. It's his
51:37
Speaker 1: fourth team. And when you've been traded a bunch, I mean,
51:40
Speaker 1: how good are you? I mean that's a legitimate question.
51:43
Speaker 1: I Mean people that are great they don't get traded
51:45
Speaker 1: like that, you know. So he's a he's not a
51:48
Speaker 1: one number one wide receiver. He's a good wide receiver,
51:51
Speaker 1: and he's got blazing speed, which is a concern. And
51:55
Speaker 1: the rest of them, we know what Conley is. He's
51:57
Speaker 1: a he's a three at best and and uh, super
52:01
Speaker 1: guy love him, and uh, I think he's a stand
52:03
Speaker 1: up of guys that there is. He's big, he has
52:07
Speaker 1: some drops occasionally, as we saw when he was here.
52:11
Speaker 1: And then their third wide receiver was supposed to be
52:13
Speaker 1: Anthony Miller, who they got I believe from the Bears,
52:15
Speaker 1: and he just located the shoulder in the preseason and
52:18
Speaker 1: he has not expected to play, I don't believe this week.
52:20
Speaker 1: And so they go out there and they drive right
52:23
Speaker 1: down the road and knock on the door of Danny Amendola,
52:25
Speaker 1: who's from not far from downtown Houston, and say, hey, well,
52:29
Speaker 1: you want to come to Patriots South, you know, because
52:32
Speaker 1: Cesario Sarrio, the general manager, is from the Patriots, and
52:36
Speaker 1: Avendola obviously spent some time up there with him, and
52:40
Speaker 1: they're trying to create a culture there in Houston. So
52:42
Speaker 1: they signed Amndola to be a slot receiver. I'm not
52:45
Speaker 1: sure exactly why they would pay somebody who is in
52:49
Speaker 1: their thirteenth year, who was on the street and nobody
52:51
Speaker 1: else was willing to sign. I don't know why they
52:53
Speaker 1: would pay him to an half million, but they did.
52:56
Speaker 1: And so once he's on this active roster this week,
52:58
Speaker 1: he's gonna be guaranteed that money, which doesn't make a
53:01
Speaker 1: whole lot of sense as to why that they would
53:03
Speaker 1: do that. But anyway, I don't think Danny's gonna question it.
53:06
Speaker 1: Heck no, I mean he's happy about it. But I mean,
53:08
Speaker 1: looked at again, this is about the running game, and
53:12
Speaker 1: this I think plays right into the Jaguars hands because
53:17
Speaker 1: this defense that we saw in the preseason, as bad
53:20
Speaker 1: as they were last year in the league as far
53:23
Speaker 1: stopping the run, it appears that they have fixed that
53:26
Speaker 1: from what we saw in the preseason. And yes, they
53:29
Speaker 1: weren't facing a lot of number one offenses, but JP
53:31
Speaker 1: what were the numbers were very good? I mean I
53:35
Speaker 1: think they were point though they didn't have They didn't
53:37
Speaker 1: play really a starting running back all preseason. And who
53:41
Speaker 1: scares you with the Texans running back group? Who scares me?
53:46
Speaker 1: Does anybody scare you out of that? Not? Really? Not really?
53:49
Speaker 1: So I mean that's I think a big part of it.
53:51
Speaker 1: I Mean, the Texas running backs are and first of all,
53:54
Speaker 1: a lot of people are calling the geriatric squad are
53:57
Speaker 1: They will say they've been a round the block of
54:01
Speaker 1: time or two MS in his eleventh year. He's been
54:03
Speaker 1: around a long time. And I know he's from Alabama, JP,
54:06
Speaker 1: and I know you're a big fan of his Birkeheads
54:08
Speaker 1: and his your number nine. He's been around the block
54:11
Speaker 1: a lot. David Johnson has been around for a while. Uh.
54:15
Speaker 1: Seventh Philip Lindsay, who was the undrafted guy that the
54:19
Speaker 1: Broncos got a couple of years ago and then kind
54:21
Speaker 1: of flamed out a little bit as a small, shifty
54:23
Speaker 1: type of guy. You know. So Scottie Phillips, I don't
54:27
Speaker 1: know much about him. He hasn't played much. But those other,
54:31
Speaker 1: you know, the four main guys that we're talking about,
54:32
Speaker 1: I mean, they've been around the league, They've been pretty
54:34
Speaker 1: good or have been good at times, and I think
54:37
Speaker 1: that they're gonna be an interesting matchup. I would not
54:39
Speaker 1: be surprised. The one thing I would be concerned about
54:41
Speaker 1: if I'm Joe Cullen is what kind of packages are
54:46
Speaker 1: they going to have with multiple running backs on the
54:48
Speaker 1: field at the same time, you know, I mean, I
54:51
Speaker 1: don't want to say you're concerned, but I mean you're
54:53
Speaker 1: just aware that they could do that. They could end
54:56
Speaker 1: up having Let's say, uh, they got David Johnson lined
55:01
Speaker 1: up split out in the slot, and then they've got
55:03
Speaker 1: Rex Burke had also lined up in a slot, and
55:05
Speaker 1: then they got Marketing Ram lined up behind the quarterback.
55:08
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you how do you match up?
55:10
Speaker 1: I mean, those are some of the things I think
55:12
Speaker 1: that you want to make sure that you're you're ready
55:14
Speaker 1: and prepared to handle. You could you could see if
55:17
Speaker 1: you never know what you're gonna see, and an opening
55:19
Speaker 1: week you just gotta deal with. Sometimes there'll be a
55:22
Speaker 1: negative play, move on, get on to the next play
55:24
Speaker 1: and try to make it a positive. And and I'm
55:26
Speaker 1: glad you kind of bring that up, because that's the
55:28
Speaker 1: one thing about opening day that is critical and that
55:32
Speaker 1: there will be something that pops up with on both sides. Now,
55:37
Speaker 1: I mean from the Texans perspective and also from the
55:39
Speaker 1: Jaguars perspective, and both sides of the ball. From each
55:43
Speaker 1: perspective that let's say the Jaguars go out there and
55:46
Speaker 1: they see something that the Texans offense has never shown before,
55:50
Speaker 1: something they didn't anticipate, they're gonna have to adjust. The
55:54
Speaker 1: Jaguars offense may see something out of Lovey Smith's defense
55:58
Speaker 1: that they've never, never expected, but that they see it,
56:02
Speaker 1: then they have to adapt an adjust on the fly.
56:06
Speaker 1: And that's a lot of times what will happen on
56:08
Speaker 1: opening week, especially when you have two organizations that had
56:13
Speaker 1: significant change with the coaching staff and the player rosters.
56:18
Speaker 1: So the Jaguars and the Houston Texans coming up this
56:21
Speaker 1: Sunday at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. It's a one
56:24
Speaker 1: oh five official kickoff time as the Jacks get it
56:28
Speaker 1: started on the road, and again the Packers and the
56:30
Speaker 1: Saints will be here at t I A. Bank Field
56:32
Speaker 1: five that day. And I can't wait. Man, I'm so
56:36
Speaker 1: fired up. This has been a fun off season. We've
56:39
Speaker 1: had a lot of fun off seasons around here, but
56:41
Speaker 1: it's now time to bring that to real football and
56:45
Speaker 1: and see it between the white lines starting on Sunday.
56:47
Speaker 1: JP the the for me, the anticipation of going out
56:52
Speaker 1: there and just seeing sixteen I mean that's I mean, look,
56:57
Speaker 1: we saw the while moments, the while throws and preseason
57:02
Speaker 1: and practices where a lot of the fans they don't
57:04
Speaker 1: get to see it, and we we're trying to. When
57:06
Speaker 1: we've been telling them all along. You know there's those
57:08
Speaker 1: three or four throws that you see in practice and
57:10
Speaker 1: you go, wow. Well we were saying it, and then
57:14
Speaker 1: in the preseason we didn't see it. But Dallas we
57:16
Speaker 1: kind of got a glimpse of it. You know, we
57:18
Speaker 1: saw some of that because they could actually throw the
57:20
Speaker 1: ball down the field in that game and it was sharp.
57:25
Speaker 1: So that's what we're hoping to see in Houston. And
57:28
Speaker 1: is it gonna be perfect? No, But I'm excited and
57:31
Speaker 1: I'm also I'm excited. And first of all, congratulations to
57:34
Speaker 1: the captains that were named this week, all seven of them,
57:38
Speaker 1: and in a very unique way. If you haven't seen it,
57:40
Speaker 1: go to Jaguars social media, Twitter, Instagram. I'm sure that
57:43
Speaker 1: that's still posted up there and they can see it there.
57:46
Speaker 1: But pretty cool way of them showing that. And the
57:50
Speaker 1: captains are Marvin Jones, Trevor Lawrence, and Brandon Linder on
57:53
Speaker 1: offense and then on defense you've got four Josh Allen, Shack, Griffin,
57:58
Speaker 1: Miles Jack and ray Seon Jake End. Congratulations to them,
58:02
Speaker 1: and uh, a pretty cool honor and I can honestly
58:06
Speaker 1: say that. I don't know if there is a bigger
58:08
Speaker 1: honor in the locker room than being named the captain
58:10
Speaker 1: when you're voted on by your peers. Were you a captain?
58:14
Speaker 1: I was one of the first captains in Jaguars history.
58:18
Speaker 1: Very nice, very nice. That's that's a great honor. Yeah,
58:22
Speaker 1: that was awesome. It was awesome. I mean that's something
58:24
Speaker 1: that you know, you can always say. I look, I
58:26
Speaker 1: was one of the one of the one of the
58:28
Speaker 1: first captains. Who are the others in history? Uh, that's
58:33
Speaker 1: a great question. I have to go back and look.
58:36
Speaker 1: I have to go back and look. It's been a
58:37
Speaker 1: little while. Yeah, it's years, think so, I don't know.
58:43
Speaker 1: Maybe it's been a minute. It's been twenty seven years.
58:45
Speaker 1: It has been. Yeah, it's been a few twenty six years.
58:48
Speaker 1: Congratulations to those guys, and of course the Jaguars and
58:51
Speaker 1: the Texans coming up. Looking forward this game, looking forward
58:53
Speaker 1: to Trevor Lawrence, looking forward to seeing what Urban Meyer
58:57
Speaker 1: gets done in his opening game as an NFL head coach.
59:00
Speaker 1: It's all of that new on defense. What does it
59:02
Speaker 1: look like, what does it feel like? Rolling a couple
59:06
Speaker 1: of sleeps away, a couple of sleeps away. Yeah, but
59:09
Speaker 1: the good thing is is that they'll go pretty fast
59:12
