Ep. 8: Who Stood Out in Preseason Week 1? | Jags A.M. Podcast · Jags A.M.

• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Welcome into Jagson, presented by Carshield. It's Monday, August fourteenth.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: We have Jaguars actual football to talk about in terms
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of they played a preseason game, which we've been dying
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: for because we've been you know, sweating mount in the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: sun at training camp. So things are legit, and I
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: think some of the younger players we've been talking about
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: really came out and showed out. And that was what
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I was most impressed by from that game.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I think all the rookies did. I mean, maybe you
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: could say Eric Hallett, but you just go down the
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: line and every one of them. John did something that
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: was noteworthy.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's what you look for.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: I've gotten a striking number of emails from people upset
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: about this or that, and the first team offense didn't
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: start fast. And look Doug talk this morning. He wants
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: to start faster.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: But is there a big concern on your part.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: That the offense isn't gonna be good? None, So relax
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: about the offense until we see it a couple of
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: regular season games not work, It's gonna work. What you
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: wanted out of this was to see the young players
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: you wanted to see guys. As they step up, they
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: certainly seem deeper. I thought the depth issue was overrated
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: last year. I thought they were fairly deep in key spots.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: But it looks like they have some young guys who
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: are gonna be key and good for the future of
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: this franchise.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: And by the way, apologies to Derek Parrish and Eric
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Hallett if they did something. You know, I didn't see
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: every Worokie do something, but as I went through my list,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: there were a lot of guys that did, and to me,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: that's what matters the most.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: And we're gonna be talking a ton about that today.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: But let's start off with big things. Because third drive
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: was the charm for Trevor. We thought we would see
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the starters for maybe one or two drives. Obviously Trevor
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Lawrence throwing that interception on the first drive, and then
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you know, they punted on the second drive.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: It's obviously a bit.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Of a I think Duck said the ball slipped out
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of his hands there, but just a mistake. You know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: he just shouldn't have either thrown out of bounds or
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you know, let that play go.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: But they did bounce back from that, right.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: They got the fumble on the punt and they were
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: able to get the ball back on that third possession.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: They put the stage back out there and then you
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: saw the drive that you wanted to see, right. You
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: want to see them finish strong and to get that
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: touchdown pass to Christian Kirk. They went for the two
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: point conversion as well, and I think John were encouraged
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: that at least they were able to kind of finish
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: things off after a little bit of.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Rocky start there.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you want to see him smooth it out
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: over the long run. But this is sort of what
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Trevor is. I mean, he he.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Gets it going.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: It can take him a while to get started, and
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: it took him ahi to get stared the other night.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: I'm not worried about the interception. I'm not worried about
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: anything on this offense. But you know, if they had
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: stopped the game after three series against the Chargers last year,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: but it gets fired, Yeah, I mean, I'm exaggera and
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: they weren't gona get fired. But you know, so football
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: is a sixty minute game. This is what this team
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: sort of is. If this was a game, they hung
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: in there, they shut them out, and then they got
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: to turn over and went in and scored.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: That's football.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: This team takes advantage of opportunities. I'm starting to think
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: of of Trevor's sort of an adrenaline quarterback and when
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: he gets it going and all of a sudden, it
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: can turn to magic. And his last two throws were
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: both scores, So stop worrying about the first one so much.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: The offense is gonna be fine.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: People were because they enjoy it, right, I mean, there
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: are people that like defining the negative in something and
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: then work their way through it. He's still a young quarterback.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: He's got thirty six career starts, thirty four in the
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: regular season, so that's nothing that concerns me. I'll tell
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: you what I lot.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: I guess what, Brian, this team's not going to score
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: in every possession this year. If they did, that would
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: be some sort of record, and they're probably gonna win
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: every game.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: So you relax, I will. I don't want to point
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: at one thing. The thing that I liked the most
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: about the touchdown throw at about the two point was
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: how patient he was in the pocket, how he just
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: you know, and you covered the Patriots, so you know this.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: When Tom Brady was at his best. He moved in
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: about a three foot circle, you know, radius in the pocket,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: not very much, just enough to sort of avoid and
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: slide and get the vision that he needed. That's exactly
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: what Trevor did. And the other thing is that we
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: talked about second year in the systems. Second year with
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: these guys together, both Kirk and Jones worked their way open.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: The quarterback was patient, they knew where they needed to be,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and they made the place. That's the second year factor
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: that we have been talking about since the spring.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I did like a lot of what I saw on
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: that third drive for them. I do have a Patriots
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: comparison coming up in hot takes because I did see
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: something very reminiscent there, which bodes well for this team.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: As for our big thing number two, that's the youth movement.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: So let's take a couple a look at some of
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: these plays that we had from Gregory Junior, because we
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: know Brian's been talking about him for a while now
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and he really came through.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Well, look when you watch this guy, watch how fast
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: he gets where he's going and then how violently he arrives.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's bang. You see him, he shows up,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: he pops off the tape, and what impresses me is that,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: you know, he's a guy that shows up from Watchita
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Baptist Naia Division two school and in a short time
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: is making plays like that against guys who are competing
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: for jobs on the Cowboys roster. That was early in
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: the game. Those guys are competing for those special teams jobs.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And everything we saw from the digress in terms of
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: special teams, we've been talking about it for weeks now
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: about you know, making your mark there and that's how
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you get your roster spot. And there's got to be
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you know, probably five six players I saw making plays
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: that could get themselves a spot from that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: By the way, he is not just competing for a
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: special team's job this year, for the starting nickelback role
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: because he's good in the middle of the field.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think he's going to start at nickel
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: this year. I think they's going to get to Trey Herndon.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: But he's.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: What they needed desperately coming into this camp was for
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: some of this abyss of young corners meaning Braswell and
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Junior and Brown, for somebody to step up where you
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: felt good about four, five and six, you know, exactly.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: The three is where I'm just saying he can't get
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: to that third spot. But I would think it's going
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: to be Trey. But you wanted, you know, coming into camp,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: you worried if any of those guys are out, who's
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: you've seen nothing. Credit to Tim Jones who forced the
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: first fumble and showed again why it's going to be
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: tough to have him not on the roster.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Hold on on it. I mean, I know Trade's been
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: around here for a while, but people that I talked
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to say that that is real, that Trey Herndon and
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Gregory Jr. Are locked in a battle for this job.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: And it's not just going to be given to the
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: veteran because he's got more starts in a young player,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: you know, with some uptick. There also one more name
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: we should mention, Devod Wilson, who had an interception that
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: was nullified by a penalty on Christian Braswell on the
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: other side of the field for illegal contact. So it
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: wasn't just brass Well and and the other draft picks
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: and Greg Jr. To Vod Wilson, the undrafted rule who
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: came from Georgia who we've talked about on this show
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: as well came through with a big play too.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what you want to see in the preseason,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: these names that we've been talking about, that's where you
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: need to show out and do that. And we're going
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to go over a bunch of that in the B
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Block Courage just after the break. We're going to come
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: back and talk about a bunch of those young players,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: specifically the draft picks and what they were able to
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: do in the game, and a round things out with
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: our big thing Number three, Canada's favorite Son. Because Nathan
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Rourke had a play that ever has been blowing up
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: absolutely everywhere, and I was on the sideline that it
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: went down on and I was I myself just I
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: think I was just like, no way, this man doing
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: this right now because I was like, why is he
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: doing it? And then I was like, oh wait, there's
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: a chance here, because at this point I was like.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: Wait, wait, wait, what are we doing? What are we doing?
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: And then it's like, oh wait, he's gonna throw it.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: It's impressive.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, big time play.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: I mean it's it's uh, let's pump the brakes on,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: putt him in the Hall of Fame and he's.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: In Canada's Hall of Fame. Thank you should be.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: A some Jaguars fan.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: He was the Canadian player there understandably going nuts and
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: you always want to see this, and he played well.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Besides this, I am now very very curious and interested
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: to watch the quarterbacks, the reserve quarterbacks the rest of
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: the preseason, which I wasn't before.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: That play not remind you of that third quarter play
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: in Denver in twenty nineteen where Gardner Minshew was turned
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: inside out and bent over and ran around and found
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Rockwall Armstead in the back of the end zone. That's
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: the first thing I thought of, is, oh, I've seen
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: that play before.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's I want to see it a couple
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: of more times. Yeah, a consistency, because he looked much
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: much better in the game than he did in any
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: of the training camp practices, in any the OTAs. So
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: I didn't think he had a very good chance to
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: make the team before the other night, you know, or
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: I wasn't sure what was going to happen. Now you
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: have to go with game performance with quarterbacks more than practice.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: So let's see it a couple more times, Let's see
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: him stack it, and then maybe it gets interesting.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: He's got a nice arm though. Yeah, yeah, you've got
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: some zip on that.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: Were ready for another mania? Is that what you were
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: trying to say.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: With the don't man yet?
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: No, And you're never gonna have that because you got
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Trevor right, that's where the mania is, correct.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: We don't want to get to the point where that's
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: what's happening again.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Obviously, I've heard and read a lot about wow, what
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: a singular play. Well I saw in the regular season.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: We all did, right and at the time when when
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Minshew made that play, it like, whoa, maybe this kid
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: can play because that literally was the exact same play,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: just going back the other way to a running back.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what he can do for the rest
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: of the preseason and then maybe you know, whether it's
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: here or elsewhere, you know, give himself a chance.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, that play guarantees he'll be on someone's ross.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: I think he'll be around here.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: It just be a matter of how it.
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: Absolutely all right. Well, stay with us.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go over some of those plays from the rookies,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: specifically that rookie class, that huge rookie class from last year,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and how they were able to come through in the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: first preseason game. Welcome back to Jake Zam presented by Carshield.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: You can call car shield now. If your cars out
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: of manufacturer's warranty, do not get stuck with expensive mechanical
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: and computer repairs.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: Call car shield now. We finally have some football film
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: to go over.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: It is the preseason, but that's when we get to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: see the young guys play. We get to see what
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: they have, specifically this rookie class which was huge, and
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: some undrafted free agency and a couple of second year
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: guys that really, you know, maybe we're on the practice
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: squad last year, didn't get a lot of playing time
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: that we got to see in action.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: We're going to start out with let's see what are
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: we going to start out with?
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Tank?
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: Obviously we've been talking about Tank for quite some time.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Right and everybody sees this, but watch eighty five. Watch
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: the tight end make the block. I'm not sure if
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: you can see it from that angle.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can see it. It was in tough, Yeah it was.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: It freedom up for that big, long run.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: And that's what you're looking for from a guy who
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: you draft in the second round, to be able to
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: contribute on both sides of the line. It's a great block.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: And that's what they've been talking about.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Was Strange as well as like you know, Evan Ingrom
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and Doug has spoken about as well. You know, you
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: may not be seeing as many catches Roun right now
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: because he's blocking and he's doing all the things they
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: want him to be doing.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: And that's he drove his guy seven if you will,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: exactly seven yards up heel.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: He's I keep hearing how he's a run blocking tight
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: end and he's not a receiver.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: I think he's both.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Every practice I see him make a good catch. Yeah,
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: and he's a rookie. I don't see why he won't
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: get better and better in that area. And he's already
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: talking to people who understand blocking far more than I do.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: He's already a high end blocker.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: So if he supplements that by being an average receiver,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: you've got a really good player there.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: That's important because here's the name we have not brought
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: up in training camp. Chris Manhertz, who was here for
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: two years and a powerful part of the running game,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: is now in Denver. So you're gonna need Breton Strange
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: and Luke Ferrell, who by all accounts are really good
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: blocking tight ends to be able to do some of that.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: Do you think they're gonna carry for no matter what?
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Yes, totally, And in this day and age, you almost
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: have to because it does tight ends a disservice to
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: call them all the same thing, Meaning you basically have
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Luke Farrow and Brittain Strange are your run tight ends,
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: and Angerman Prince are your move tight ends.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: So teams keep two because you need a backup for
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: each starter at that spot essentially, and.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I think Strange has that ability to do both. I mean,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: we've seen him on the practice hurt make excellent catches,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: so it's not like he can't be that guy too.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: He's going to be one that'll be to see where
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: he will be at the even the end of this season.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Second year, third year, I think is going to be
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: leaps and bounds just because of how quick he picks
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: things up.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: He looks like a guy who could really be a
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: monster next year.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, time to bloss him in this offense. Get used
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: to what Doug wants to use with the tight ends.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: Doug gloves this tight end.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, let's go to defense for our next player, because
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: we've been talking about him as well, when we talk
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: about the fifty three, Yes, here Abdullah he was, his
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: presence was felt, is what I will say. In game
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: one he got a sack, which you know, you want
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: to talk about the pass rush all day. Here's your guy.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: He's coming in. He's got the moves. Jeff Logerman and
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I were talking last week about he just feels like
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Abdula has the sense, right, He just he knows what
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: he needs to do. He may not, you know, people
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: say he's undersize whatever it is, but he finds a way.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: He's gonna make a movie. Fine, I'll do another move.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Like he's just prepared in that way and has a
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: way of finding being where he needs to be at
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: any given time.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll be talking about him later in the show. Ryan,
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: So I want, I mean a great take that I
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: had that I don't want to bring.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right now, like the fifty six, here's the other thing.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: And look, the guy was a really good pass rusher
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: at Louisville. Yeah, he played the run really well the
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: other day too. You know, they had a guy around
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: here for years named Unique and Gokway who was a
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: terrific pass rusher. But he was two hundred and twenty
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: pounds and when he had to stop the run, he
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: was not a force. This guy is going to be
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: a force. He's broad and he's strong, and he's built
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: to play the run as well.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I sure hope he does, because at the point, we
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: need a pass rusher, and as we've discussed, that's a
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: need that they have. So they need to build it
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: from within because even at this point they haven't brought
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: in yet.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: And he's not a liability. It's not like when he's
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: on the field, you're gona go okay, we're going right there,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: not at all.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: I think it's great.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Where else are We're gonna go okay, Now, we're gonna
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: go to the offensive line because you know, we have
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: to represent Baker County as we do. It's it's tugboat
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: time because not only do we personally like Cooper Hodges.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: He was out there for a good portion of this
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: game and he looked good at points.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: And he set that up for Deornis Johnson.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: He did. He was he was all over the place.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: You can see him getting coached up by his fellow
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman. And he's a big man, so when he
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: sets a block and he's hustling there too, so tugboat
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: does cartwheels.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: There's there's really little that this man can't do.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: John, When do you see him maybe making his way
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: into the lineup on the offensive lines the next season?
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: Maybe?
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: Well, I would think next season. There's some guys Brian
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: who as soon as they get drafted and as soon
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: as they're here, you start hearing it in the water,
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: meaning the people are talking about him. Hey, keep an
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: eye on this guy, and the momentum sort of never stops.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: He was a guy the first couple of OTAs where
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: you looked at and said, Okay, this is a big body.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: He can move behind it.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: He takes the right approach, He works in the locker room,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: he sort of gets it.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: He's a mature kid.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: You know. I know you're gonna talk about this later
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: as well. Everything you hear and see. Ind case, he'll
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: start next year without a doubt, you know. And we're
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: jumping the shark on this one, but you know, your
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: right guard, your five time Pro Bowl right guard, is
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: a twenty four million dollar cap figure next year.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: So the Jaguars, you know, they need to be able
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: to plug this kid in and have him be the
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: long term fixture there. Maybe Sheriff has an amazing year
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: and they decide to redo his deal. I don't know,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: but cap room is precious for this team going forward
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: because of the quarterback. So you need Hodges to be
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: that guy. It looks like he is. And on to
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: your point, he's making the move from four years starting
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: at right tackle to going inside. And you and I
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: were standing on the practice field talking to Trent Bulky
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: during OTAs and he came over and said that this
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: is a guy who's good every tool, that everything you
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: need mentally, physically, everything to be a long term starter
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: at guard. But he's got to do the work well.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Watching him pull, yeah, he's doing the work well. He
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: looks good.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: And in this league you need you know, we all
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: spend all off season talking about the twenty two. Well,
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: once the season starts the twenty two, you need thirty five.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Ye.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: And I think they're deep on the offensive line. They
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: showed last year they were good depth, and I think
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: they supplemented that and kept that same depth equation if
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: you will. With Harris and for Taylor, I don't see
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: seeing he reads by a week nine or ten if
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: you have an injury. I don't It feels like he's
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: moving toward a guy that they're not going to have
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: a lot of angst if he would have to come
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: into the lineup late this season.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: No, and you've seen instability at left guard right because
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Big BArch, who by the way, has just been elevated
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: from the puplace today. He'll be practicing and maybe playing
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: this week or next week against the Dolphins. So you've
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: got submissibility with Tyler Shatley who's had the aphib issue
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: and you're not sure you know when he's going to
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: be able to come back. So Hodges is one of
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: those guys that you know, if he's versatile, it can
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: play the left side, could be active on game day
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: as opposed to one of those scratches all season long.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: And I would suspect by the time we get to
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: December he might be.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: And my guess is the decision makers feel much much
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: better about that instability at guard knowing this kid's coming.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: He's making this roster. There's no doubt, no doubt.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: There for sure.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Elsewhere are we on to look, Let's do some pun
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: returns because we saw Parker Washington out there decent amount
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: obviously of agnew so he's on anywhere but Parker Washington
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: is a good, viable option, and we've seen him return
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: some kicks, return some punts, and work his way into
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the offense a little bit as well. But you have
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: to imagine he's someone that they enjoy the versatility that
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: he brings to the game.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Two things. One, it takes courage to be a punt returner,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: and you just don't know how a guy is going
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: to react in the NFL with all these guys bearing
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: down on him. He had no problem with it. And second,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: watch him use his feet here to set up the defender.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: We've talked about how good his feet have looked through
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: a training camp and he shows it right there.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's again a good piece to have if they
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: need a backup punt returner. And he feels like a
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: guy who is going to play his way by next
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: year into mattering in the receiving.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: Group the mix for sure.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: He just seems too fundamentally sound, too quick in the
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: right areas. I don't know if his high end is
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: Christian Kirk someday he's built similarly, but but he certainly
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: seems from an early early look like a guy who
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: can produce in the NFL minimum at.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: A four or five. Kirk was the second round pick, right,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: and and you see how smooth he is, but he's
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: he's this guy was drafted to be that guy, right,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: to be that slot receiver who uses his feet to
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: gain separation in the middle of the field, and he'll
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: have a role. And I mean again, I think he's
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: on this roster. I think he's got one of the
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: six receiver spots.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: From the first practice of ot AS when he was there,
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: he's never looked lost, never, and that's encouraging and I
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: needed it. Strange, you know, both from Penn State, but
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: they both looked like they belonged.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Very very quickly.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: U usually guys that look like that bare minimum contribute
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: for you for a few years.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: That's what you went out of the draft.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Yep, he's in my mind locked up the fifth spot
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: on the wide receivers. And then I feel like the
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: six spot is the one that's kind of up for
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: grabs for people. And then finally we want to do
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Chris Braswell's interception, because we did talk about the defense
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: and who needs to step up and kind of make
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: themselves known because there isn't a ton of depth in
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: the in the dB positions and and.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: This was good to see it.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: But they really really like this kid. Yeah, he's he's uh.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: I think Doug talked about him on on on the
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Zoom call this morning. His athleticism, he's and if Doug
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: said this or not, but it struck you when Doug
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: was talking, He's talking.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: About a kid who knows how to play football.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: Some guys are athletes and they and they're not natural players.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: This kid, everything you hear, he has great instincts. He
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: can play. My sense is they think this guy, if
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: not this year, next year, is going to factor into
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: the five or six dvs are on the field.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: And it's important to note that that interception came in
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter after he had two penalties, right, the
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: one that took away the interception and another illegal contact.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: So he was having a rough day, but he hung
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: in there, and that's what they want to see from
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: these kids. Can you hang in there? Can you overcome that?
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: And can you stay focused on the next play? As
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: a cornerback, you know they talk about the island all
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: the time. You're on that island, can you stay on it?
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: And he did and made a great play and.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: He's still fighting through one of the first couple of
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: days of camp, he pulled up on a deep route.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: He called that, Yeah, he was following somebody and it
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: looked like a hammy. I'm assuming he was a hammy.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: So he's still sort of getting back to it. But again,
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: I know, Brian, he's gonna talk about it later. A
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: litany of rookies who were encouraging on Saturday, a lot.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: Of good stuff.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: We got our hot takes coming up after the break,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: the hottest of hot takes after we've seen preseason game one.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: So stay with us to find out what they are.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: Moved the freight moved the freight.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Magellan Transport is voted the coolest office base in Jacksonville.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: You can ply online at www dot Magellanlogistics dot com.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to Jags Am. We're here in the Hyundai
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: studios and we're gonna do hot takes. We got a
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: little game action, we got to see a little bit
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: of what the team might be bringing to the table.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna start off with hot takes. Brian, I
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: will start with you today.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: I think this has a chance to be the best
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: draft in Jaguars history. And here's why. Because I count
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: John eight guys who legitimately by the end of next
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: season could be starters, if not starters in the sense
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: really key players, right, Anton Harrison will be a starter.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: I think Breton Strange is going to be a starter.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Tank Bigsby I think could be a starter, if not
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: a starter. He's one of those guys. He's gonna have
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: a lot of right, Yeah, right, Jackson, Ventrel Miller, Parker Washington,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Yasira Abdullah, Antonio Johnson, and I just added Christian Brasswell
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: on your recommendation. So that's eight of thirteen guys that
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: based on what we saw first two weeks of camp
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: and how they pay it off in Dallas. You can
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: look and go, yep, yep, yep, you could have eight
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: starters out of one draft. You get that. That's a
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: tremendous draft. That would be the most productive draft in
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Jaguars history.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: You have the best draft in Jaguars history.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty twenty one.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: If he can trevor that one.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I mean you know what I mean.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: That's why I changed from best to preduc Yeah.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: It's I agree.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: And even if all those guys didn't work out, because
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: I think a couple of them Ventrel Miller. You wonder
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: if with Lloyd and Muma inside there uh.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Looked on as a twenty three million dollar cap figure.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: Coming up, right, But Lloyd and Muma could still well
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: But you mean starter, right, And I don't have any
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: doubt that everybody you mentioned will matter over the next
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: two or three years, whether it's starter with Parker Washington,
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: whether he's a starter, or or whether he's catching forty
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: for six sixty or you feel very good if somebody's
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: injured and he comes in, and that's what you need
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: at a draft, becial when you have thirteen. Clearly that's
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: what they wanted. They felt like they were not deep
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: enough and if they needed to get talent in here
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: for the next four years, there's a lot of confidence
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: they did. Tyler Lacy, who you didn't mention. I don't
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: know if he's ever a starter, right, be a role player,
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: but you need eight or nine.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Here's nine by Cooper Hodges. I forgot him on the list.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, there's I mean, this looks like the
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: most productive draft. It's got to play out, obviously, but
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I would think by the end of twenty twenty four,
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: you could look at this draft and say There's never
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: been a draft that good. So hats off to Trent Bulky.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: And he didn't mention my guy. You see her.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Abdula, Sure I did. Oh you did well?
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: That was my takeaway, and it's a hot take because
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: of this. I have no confidence in most rookies to
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: give you anything that will help you be a better
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: team in your rookie year. And I'm exaggerating that. I've
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: just seen so much where their learning and then the
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: next year they're just really good. This kid might be
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: able to give them some pass rush and some impact.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: I think he's going to.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Start, but you need three or four guys who in
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: your packages can affect the quarterback. He was playing against
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: second team the other night. But as logs Is said,
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: often there's a natural element to that sometimes, and this
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: kid seems to have it. They knew in Indianapolis when
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: I was covering them that Robert Mathis, a fifth round
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: draft pick, had three and a half sacks as a
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: rookie in his second year. They all said, this kid
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: is going to be a pro bowler someday. And I
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: don't want to compare the du a bit of Mathis
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: because Mathis might go in the Hall someday, but there's
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: an element there of a young kid who bare minimum
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: can affect the pocket this.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Year, from the moment he stepped on the practice field,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: you knew he belonged absolutely, And then that's high pricks,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: especially from veteran football players. But talking to these guys,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: they have all said that he belongs.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: It's cool because now that we've entered that point of
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: where you have your base of your team already set,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: they're drafting to develop as the term goes. But that
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: means you come in and you have a specific role
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: to fill. You're not coming in trying to be, you know,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: dealing with what Trevor had to deal with him coming
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: in and being the man immediately. Not everybody can do
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: that or thrives in that environment. And there's a lot
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: of these people where Tanks coming in, he's going to
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: work with Travis. He's not just the guy we see
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Brenton come in. He gets to learn from a great
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: tight end room. Anton Harrison has a loaded offensive line
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: that he's working with to help him every single day,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: and he'll have a little more time to maybe get
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: up to size. I mean, he's a huge person to
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: be in with, so I say, get up to size,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: but put on a little more bulk and then by
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: the time you know, second third year, he's going to
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: be even better.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: So there have been way too many years where everybody
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: you mentioned Brian would have been starting.
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: And that's not the best development for a lot of people.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: It really isn't.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: So to be able to have that luxury at this
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: point point that really sets the team up to be
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: successful for many, many years to come, which is what
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: we want to talk about, where it's like, oh, this
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: team is not just going to be a one and
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: done situation. It's like we are building this to be
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: good for a very long time.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: And just one more noteal quick. You mentioned Tyler Lacy
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: has a chance to play well. I talked to him
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: last week coming off the practice field. He looks gassed.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: I don't whether he noticed it every day off the
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: practice field gassed. He's from Texas, Oklahoma State. I said,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: it can't be the heat. He said no, he said,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: I want to prove every play that I belong. I
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: feel like every play I have to find a way
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: to stay well. It's that kind of attitude, that kind
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: of approach gets your places.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: He's a rare guy. And sow Is Hodges in the
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: sense that usually with rookie lineman and Anton Harrison fits
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: this a little bit. You can see where Anton in
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: a year in the weight room is going to look
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: more like Juwan Taylor did when he left and really
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: be one of the top offensive tab He's gonna be good.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: But once he gets size and strength, his man's strength,
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: so to speak, he'll take you to a next level.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Look at Hodges and Lacey physically, they already look there
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: and most rookies don't look that way. So that's gonna
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: be interesting to watch these young linemen they brought in.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: You guys went with the young guys. I'm gonna go
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: with someone a veteran presence on this team, going with
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Christian Kirk.
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: That's my hot take. It's he is the lynch pin
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: for this offense. And I know we talk.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: A ton about what Calvin is going to bring to
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: this team and Trevor's.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: Development, all the other core that he has around him.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: This ship is this is going to be successful if
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: as far as Christian Kirk can take it, because he
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: has become the person that Trevor trusts and he goes
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: to and feels he can throw it to no matter what.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: And it's similar when we talked a little bit about
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: the Patriots earlier, how I felt Brady really worked with
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Welker and then Edelman later on in his career. Yes,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: he throws to Randy Moss who's got twenty plus touchdowns,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: but Welker had the most targets and the most yards
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: in a lot of those seasons where they played together
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: because that was his safety guy. He knew, he trusted everything,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: He knew everything about the mannerisms for Tom Brady. And
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I feel like Christian Kirk has worked so much with
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Trevor that he's really getting to that point where he
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: knows he can be where he needs to be. He
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: knows what Trevor's mannerisms are, where he prefers what he prefers,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: And when you have that type of relationship with your quarterback,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: that is invaluable, especially when you know people are doubling
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: up Calvin or that opens up the field for everybody else.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: I couldn't agree more. I think Christian's number one on
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: that list. It will probably take him a little while
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: to get it with Ridley because there just has to
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: be some game stuff where you just trust what's going
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: to be there. But I have no doubt watching Calvin
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: it's going to be there. The intriguing thing is, you
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: do feel like Trevor right now has at least four
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: guys who are primary weapons who can beat single coverage,
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: who he's completely comfortable throwing to. Jimmy and Keenan still
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: remain the best two wide receivers tandem in franchise history.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: They didn't have three and four like this. This is
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: this is this is intriguing.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: I wasn't all that Christian Kirk was the guy who
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: got free as Trevor was so patient in the pocket
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: and made that beautiful throw. I would agree that he
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: is one A. In terms of connection, I would say
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Evan Ingram is one bee. I mean just a hair
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: behind him. Watching them on the practice field and the
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: way that they work. So he's got guys that he
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: has connections within Zay, but he got Zay in the
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: back of the end zone too. He won't take long
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: on Ridley. That's what makes me so optimistic. And I
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: even think about an interception. The relationship he has with
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: these guys, the connection he has with these guys, find
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: another quarterback in the league, maybe outside of my homes,
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: maybe Burrow in Cincinnati that has this many targets that
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: he's connected to so strongly.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you mentioned Za, and I know we'll get out
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: of this segment. To me, Zay's had the quietest, really
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: really solid camp going every day. When I look at
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: my notes, he's had two or three catches fifteen to
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: twenty yards. The trust there a donut, you know, I
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: don't know if you have a yards and he'll have
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: ten touchdowns. What you know about Zay, He'll have at
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: least five catches that you remember at the end of
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: the season for touchdowns where you say, Okay, that got
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: him the game, and he had about that.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: So there's a lot of.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: Weapons that matter that make you better on offense.
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: Can't wait to see.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: It all come together, all right, say with us, we're
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: gonna preview what we got going on the rest of
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the week. We had to Detroit and let you know
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: all about that after the break. Jags fans, if you
• 31:39

  Speaker 5: Zipchair is furniture.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: For fans, and we talked a little bit about that
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Nathan Rourke play. You know, he's falling down, he gets
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: the touchdown. They played it in the stadium for his
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: old team during their game. Of course, his teammates where
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: he played in the CFL last season, and then obviously
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: they were very excited to see their teammate doing so
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: well here in pre season and hopefully making a name
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: for himself.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: But pretty cool to see there.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: And hopefully we'll see a little bit more of work
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: when we head to Detroit this week because we're doing
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: joint practice for the couple days this week and then
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: they're playing the Lions on Saturday. So what do you
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: guys enjoy most about kind of joint practice? Is it
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: just seeing new people, seeing your team go up against
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: some different players.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: I like validating opinions, right, I mean, because you can
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: see Calvin Ridley line up against I don't choose a
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: young cornerback and think, well, Calvin really is having the
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: best camp possible. Right now, You're gonna go line up
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: against the ones in Detroit. Okay, let's see you do it.
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: What's going to look like?
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: I fully anticipate that he will, but it validates opinions.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: If Gregory Junior goes up and has a big day
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: on the practice field. Yep, okay, he's making the progress.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: And it's a week where the reps between ones during
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: practice a matter is my which is what the fans
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: will see during the game. Like there's a chance some
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: starters may play less on Saturday because of the because
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: they feel like they've got the reps.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: And Doug alluded to it a little bit.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: I don't put words in his mouth, but that there
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: could be some younger guys, the greg junior level player
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: who's not necessarily a starter, who they could want to
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: get reps against ones to give them that experience. This
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: is the meat time of this process.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: So Bucky and I get to sit with the coach
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: and some players the night before the game as we're
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: doing our preseason production meetings, and we had a long
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: conversation with Doug about the value of these matchups, and
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: he said that every rep on the practice field is
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: as valuable as any rep in a game in the preseason.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: That's saying something I think it is and I think
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: we'll see a lot of that, and it's just exciting
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: to see the competitive nature of it. You know, you're
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: not going against your own team, so it'll a lit'll
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: be a little bit different out there. We're going to
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: be live for jags AM on Wednesday and Thursday at
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Detroit's training camp and hopefully a little bit cooler there,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: so we'll be outside and.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: A lot cooler there.
