- 0:39Speaker 1: shocking news, Josh Allen is going to make the fifty
- 0:42Speaker 1: three man roster, but there will be roster cuts coming
- 0:45Speaker 1: that we will talk about shortly. Welcome to Jaguars Drive
- 0:47Speaker 1: Time on a Wednesday, Ashland Sullivan, Brian Sexton, and Brett
- 0:51Speaker 1: Martineau joining us today. Good to see you guys. Yes,
- 0:56Speaker 1: almost talking off. Brian Sexton's here about saying yeah mostly
- 1:02Speaker 1: like so, just a quick story, Um, I was the
- 1:05Speaker 1: sports director at Fox and CBS where he is now
- 1:08Speaker 1: the sports director, and he came in as a young cat.
- 1:11Speaker 1: What was fifteen years ago. You've been years. Wow, you
- 1:15Speaker 1: would never think that. No, you know you've aged very well,
- 1:18Speaker 1: A lot nicer now, yeah, well everyone knew he was
- 1:22Speaker 1: talented then, you know what I mean? And and look
- 1:23Speaker 1: what he's done with his career since. Absolutely, I'm I'm
- 1:26Speaker 1: proud to play just a small part of sports director
- 1:29Speaker 1: ESPN Radio broadcast preseason Brox, You're the busiest man in sports.
- 1:33Speaker 1: But the best thing that's ever happened in fifteen years
- 1:36Speaker 1: is diet coke. That is a big, ye, absolutely free
- 1:42Speaker 1: commercial from me. Yeah, I'm happy with that now. I
- 1:44Speaker 1: love it. We haven't talked about the new coke machine here.
- 1:47Speaker 1: It hasn't made the run down. I just used it
- 1:48Speaker 1: for the first There is a coke machine now in
- 1:50Speaker 1: the States called a freestyle, if we're going to be correct, Yes,
- 1:54Speaker 1: and that is why are so happy all of a sudden,
- 1:56Speaker 1: I haven't hit it yet. It sounds like it's not
- 1:58Speaker 1: head coach Doug Peterson, he has a small part of it.
- 2:00Speaker 1: It's the coke machine in the stadium that's made the
- 2:02Speaker 1: biggest s. All right, let's get into big things, shall we.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Big thing one is the clock. The clock is taking
- 2:07Speaker 1: for the starters, and the clock is taking to make
- 2:09Speaker 1: these final roster spots. This is what makes Saturday's third
- 2:12Speaker 1: preseason games so important, the last chance to make an impression. Yeah,
- 2:18Speaker 1: you know, for for me, I do want to see
- 2:19Speaker 1: our starters play a little bit longer, go a bit
- 2:22Speaker 1: deeper in the second quarter. You know, our defensive starters
- 2:24Speaker 1: haven't played a ton in the first few games they've
- 2:27Speaker 1: They've done well, they just haven't played a whole lot.
- 2:29Speaker 1: So I want to see them play a little bit
- 2:31Speaker 1: more in this in this game, and the same with
- 2:34Speaker 1: the offense, you know, and just again just start seeing
- 2:37Speaker 1: the consistency with those two units. Um. But yeah, I
- 2:42Speaker 1: think overall kind of treating this like like we would
- 2:46Speaker 1: a normal in season game plan type, you know game
- 2:52Speaker 1: big thing too is the driver's seat. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence
- 2:55Speaker 1: progressing in the preseason, coming off a great practice Monday night,
- 2:58Speaker 1: going six team for twenty and eleven eleven. Not as
- 3:01Speaker 1: crisp in today's Wednesday practice, but great self awareness from
- 3:04Speaker 1: the quarterback. For me, you know, obviously I wanted to
- 3:08Speaker 1: make a jump because that's gonna help his team win.
- 3:10Speaker 1: You know. I guess, like I've said before, the quarterback
- 3:12Speaker 1: doesn't play well, you're not gonna win any games. So
- 3:14Speaker 1: in order for us to get to where we want
- 3:16Speaker 1: to be come you know, January, it's gonna have to
- 3:19Speaker 1: play well. So I'm excited to have that opportunity. And
- 3:21Speaker 1: I think this system offers that. And we've got a
- 3:24Speaker 1: lot of answers. Um got a great scheme and then
- 3:28Speaker 1: obviously we have talent everywhere, especially you know, receiver, tight end,
- 3:30Speaker 1: running back, up front. The guys have been playing great.
- 3:33Speaker 1: So I'm just excited to really see what we can
- 3:36Speaker 1: do this year. And big thing three is the Steelers
- 3:39Speaker 1: coming to play the Jaguars this Saturday and the third
- 3:41Speaker 1: Priests and game. And the Steelers are known for a
- 3:43Speaker 1: great running It seem a great test for this defense
- 3:46Speaker 1: that has improved from week one to week two. Same
- 3:50Speaker 1: thing here, you know, learning a new scheme and run
- 3:54Speaker 1: fits and different gaps that you have to protect and defend,
- 3:57Speaker 1: and you know, it's just it's just different style and uh,
- 4:01Speaker 1: but at the same time, you see you see improvement.
- 4:03Speaker 1: You know, we saw improvement a little bit this past
- 4:05Speaker 1: week against you know, Cleveland's rush and then you know,
- 4:10Speaker 1: we got to take it up another notch. You know
- 4:12Speaker 1: this Saturday against Pittsburgh, who can kind of pride himself
- 4:15Speaker 1: and running the football. So um, it's a matter of
- 4:18Speaker 1: just continuing to work together, getting more reps on the
- 4:21Speaker 1: field with those starters. Um, and I think you'll begin seeing,
- 4:24Speaker 1: you know a little more improvement in that that area.
- 4:28Speaker 1: And there you have it. Those are big thing, big
- 4:30Speaker 1: things getting ready for a third preseason game this Saturday.
- 4:32Speaker 1: And I want to go back to big thing too,
- 4:34Speaker 1: because I think that's the biggest topic we all have.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Coming off the practice field today Monday night, Trevor looked great.
- 4:39Speaker 1: I would argue his best practice of training camp today,
- 4:42Speaker 1: not as crips. The ups and downs are going to happen,
- 4:44Speaker 1: and especially going against this defense. We're seeing this defense
- 4:48Speaker 1: improve almost practice to practice, and it's a great challenge
- 4:50Speaker 1: for this offense. You know, if if you want to
- 4:52Speaker 1: know just how well how far Trevord Lawrence has come
- 4:57Speaker 1: from your one year two, he stood at that podium
- 4:59Speaker 1: today a and said, hey, look, we had an intense
- 5:02Speaker 1: practice under the lights in cool weather on Monday night,
- 5:05Speaker 1: and then have a day off and then we come
- 5:07Speaker 1: out here and it's hot and we got a grind
- 5:09Speaker 1: through it, right, I'm paraphrasing, but that's what he was
- 5:11Speaker 1: saying is we've got to learn to be better when
- 5:13Speaker 1: the conditions aren't as good as they were on Monday night.
- 5:15Speaker 1: And I thought that there's your quarterback. Yeah. And the
- 5:16Speaker 1: other thing about is I think he was a sinse
- 5:19Speaker 1: agitated by the fact that he did not perform that
- 5:21Speaker 1: well to And that's a good thing too, I asked
- 5:23Speaker 1: Christian Kirk later. I said, you guys get motivated by
- 5:26Speaker 1: a practice like this, because listen, so long camp, you're
- 5:28Speaker 1: gonna have some good days, something not so great days.
- 5:30Speaker 1: I mean, anybody that's logical. But he said, yeah, we're
- 5:33Speaker 1: motivated by it. So they'll be interested in short practice
- 5:35Speaker 1: tomorrow if they come out tomorrow and just look a
- 5:37Speaker 1: little more crisp, if they get the chance to do
- 5:39Speaker 1: it in that's setting the final one an episcopal. But
- 5:42Speaker 1: it did not look good today. Can't sugarcoat it. It It
- 5:44Speaker 1: was not a good day for the office. There was
- 5:45Speaker 1: a good throat is a Jones over the middle, and
- 5:47Speaker 1: you and I were standing there and when and so
- 5:48Speaker 1: I talked to him afterwards and he said, you know,
- 5:51Speaker 1: these are those dog days at camp where you played
- 5:53Speaker 1: a couple of preseason games, so you think you should
- 5:55Speaker 1: be getting into the regular season routine. But there's still
- 5:59Speaker 1: two preseason games to go. They've got to practice tomorrow,
- 6:01Speaker 1: they've got to be out there in Atlanta on their
- 6:03Speaker 1: practice field next week, so you really have to get
- 6:06Speaker 1: the mental side of it down. And he said, a
- 6:08Speaker 1: practice like this sends you back to watch film and
- 6:11Speaker 1: here from the coaches and dials you up tomorrow will
- 6:13Speaker 1: do that, right, And I think everyone can agree they
- 6:15Speaker 1: want training camp to get here sooner rather than later
- 6:19Speaker 1: the end of it, because it is the dog days.
- 6:20Speaker 1: We've been out there for three weeks and you get all, right,
- 6:22Speaker 1: there's kind of a grind now of being out here
- 6:24Speaker 1: in the hot sun every single day. I think we
- 6:26Speaker 1: saw that today. It was like really hot and I'm
- 6:29Speaker 1: really really hot. And you had five or six guys
- 6:32Speaker 1: in the tent at different times today because they hadn't
- 6:36Speaker 1: been out in this heat really since last Wednesday, because
- 6:38Speaker 1: they had walked through, then a game, then a day off,
- 6:41Speaker 1: then a walk through, then a night practice, then a
- 6:43Speaker 1: day off and now back up. And it hit him.
- 6:45Speaker 1: I mean you could tell it really hit him. And
- 6:47Speaker 1: one of the things about the offense and Trevor Lawrence
- 6:49Speaker 1: through one interception. So far this camp through to today,
- 6:52Speaker 1: I'll tell you how not so great the offense. Yeah,
- 6:54Speaker 1: it just really looked like a timing issue. They just
- 6:56Speaker 1: couldn't get things going. And we've seen from the offense
- 6:58Speaker 1: before they start slow, but they pick it back up.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Today they just couldn't seem to pick it up. And
- 7:03Speaker 1: if people are alarmed by that, just hit the brakes.
- 7:05Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what training camp is. No nobody
- 7:08Speaker 1: has a training camp. Roman Man. I didn't see a
- 7:10Speaker 1: bad practice nobody, no player, no side of the ball,
- 7:13Speaker 1: no coach, nobody. UM camp has been pretty good until
- 7:16Speaker 1: this point. I think this was the biggest. They've stopped
- 7:19Speaker 1: their toe a couple of times, but this is the
- 7:20Speaker 1: one you where he went, Yeah, they're dragging through this
- 7:22Speaker 1: one today. Yeah, and credit to the defense as well.
- 7:25Speaker 1: I mean, we'll say there's been very few days where
- 7:26Speaker 1: I've walked off that practic field going. The defense didn't
- 7:29Speaker 1: look great today. They have had a steady improvement throughout camp.
- 7:31Speaker 1: I thought, you know, they've got a nice mixed brand.
- 7:33Speaker 1: We were talking about this the other day. What you
- 7:35Speaker 1: get inside with Devon Hamilton in the way that he's
- 7:37Speaker 1: played the first two games along with Folly Vatukas and
- 7:41Speaker 1: with Roy Hamilton's on Monday or pardon me, on Friday
- 7:44Speaker 1: against the Browns, they were great. I mean, they really
- 7:47Speaker 1: played well, which when they play well, everyone else plays
- 7:50Speaker 1: well behind him. Yeah. I think the defense has been
- 7:53Speaker 1: unbelievable really in camp, I mean, and it translated to
- 7:55Speaker 1: the game the other night when everybody was out there,
- 7:57Speaker 1: most specifically Josh Allenkasi getting him back Anna Luiken, who
- 8:01Speaker 1: I think is really the biggest piece, probably get everybody organized.
- 8:05Speaker 1: And we still haven't seen it with Devin Lloyd, which
- 8:07Speaker 1: will be fun to see when that happens. But they
- 8:09Speaker 1: have been good and you can't sleep on They've got
- 8:11Speaker 1: me excited this defense and the scheme and even the
- 8:14Speaker 1: way Trevor talks about it. It looks different to him
- 8:17Speaker 1: than it did a year ago. So listen a long
- 8:19Speaker 1: way ago. We'll see how it plays off. We can't
- 8:21Speaker 1: get over the excite all those things. We know that
- 8:23Speaker 1: we've been around it long enough, but they break it
- 8:26Speaker 1: kind of every day, and they brought it again today. Well,
- 8:28Speaker 1: you know, you talk about the running game being a
- 8:30Speaker 1: quarterback's best friend. Defense is as well, if that defense
- 8:34Speaker 1: can give him the ball back right last year didn't
- 8:38Speaker 1: do it enough. If they can create some turnovers, create
- 8:40Speaker 1: some short fields, and and he can get out there
- 8:44Speaker 1: with the running game and dominate. I mean, you can
- 8:46Speaker 1: see where these dominoes start to fall when you have
- 8:49Speaker 1: the talent on both sides of the ball. And Trevor
- 8:51Speaker 1: said that today when he looks at this roster from
- 8:53Speaker 1: a year ago, he sees a significant upgrade in the talent. Well,
- 8:58Speaker 1: if you're the most ever sent in free agency and
- 9:01Speaker 1: the number one pick in every round, you would expect
- 9:04Speaker 1: that they had got there. But it hasn't always been
- 9:05Speaker 1: that way, right, I mean, we've had expectations of money
- 9:08Speaker 1: they've spent, of draft picks they've made, and they haven't
- 9:11Speaker 1: paid off. First at the camp, I don't think there's
- 9:14Speaker 1: been any disappointments, absolutely, And the biggest questions. We saw
- 9:16Speaker 1: James Robinson for one of the first times in a
- 9:18Speaker 1: team period today and I think that's the biggest question.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Do you have James Robinson week one? At this point
- 9:24Speaker 1: my cobbl defensive Cordier spoke this morning, do you have
- 9:26Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd week one? I'm at that point where I
- 9:28Speaker 1: have to ask because we haven't seen him all training camp.
- 9:30Speaker 1: We thought maybe we'll see him this week, maybe we
- 9:33Speaker 1: see him tomorrow. He's off to the side again. Today.
- 9:35Speaker 1: I'm at the point where I'm wondering when Devon Lloyd
- 9:38Speaker 1: will be back as well. Yeah, I don't think we
- 9:39Speaker 1: see Devon Lloyd Saturday night. Of course, he hasn't practiced
- 9:41Speaker 1: enough for that and even for me, and I'm not
- 9:44Speaker 1: even like, if you don't see him Saturday, you're not
- 9:46Speaker 1: gonna seem Atlanta. Well, I do wonder about that. I
- 9:48Speaker 1: questioned that a little bit because because I didn't think
- 9:54Speaker 1: all these guys would play in the Hall of Fame game,
- 9:56Speaker 1: and Peterson put those guys out there, a lot of them,
- 9:59Speaker 1: and so I wonder if you can't time for a
- 10:01Speaker 1: few snaps, maybe if it's not with all the ones,
- 10:04Speaker 1: because I don't agree with you. I don't think the
- 10:05Speaker 1: ones are going to play, but I wonder if they
- 10:07Speaker 1: feel like they have to get him something or or
- 10:09Speaker 1: maybe it's him talking on the front end with the
- 10:12Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game. I understood it a little bit
- 10:14Speaker 1: more because you had time to get these guys back
- 10:16Speaker 1: if you had some soft tissue injuries on the backside
- 10:18Speaker 1: of that, Brent, I agree with you. I mean I
- 10:21Speaker 1: wanted to see Travis e t n in Week one
- 10:23Speaker 1: because I thought, look, if he's gonna take some time,
- 10:25Speaker 1: get him those reps. But I just wonder, you know,
- 10:27Speaker 1: what's the benefit to him of playing seven eight nine
- 10:30Speaker 1: snaps as opposed to having a couple more weeks. Remember
- 10:34Speaker 1: you have that week between this year, between the last
- 10:37Speaker 1: preseason game, you have a full week and then game week,
- 10:40Speaker 1: so there's more time to get him there. And let's
- 10:42Speaker 1: be honest, he's a rookie. You have a long term
- 10:45Speaker 1: perspective with him. If he's not ready to go week one, Okay,
- 10:48Speaker 1: he's not ready to go week one. Chad Moove has
- 10:50Speaker 1: gotten better and looks like he can step in and play.
- 10:53Speaker 1: When you get Devin Lloyd back, be sure you've got
- 10:55Speaker 1: him back. If you're gonna make a little wager here
- 10:57Speaker 1: and those guys playing James Robinson Orvan Lloyd, I mean,
- 11:00Speaker 1: you'd probably be better off betting against that. Maybe a
- 11:03Speaker 1: diet coke on the line, you know, for next week,
- 11:06Speaker 1: and just get him to the get him to the
- 11:08Speaker 1: regular season opener. Like I'm okay, but I do question. Again.
- 11:11Speaker 1: I was surprised by Doug Peterson how many guys he
- 11:13Speaker 1: played in that Canton, Ohio game. So now I'm just
- 11:16Speaker 1: wondering a little bit about Doug. He said, Okay, maybe
- 11:19Speaker 1: he thinks he does need to play, but I'm certainly
- 11:22Speaker 1: okay if Robinson Lloyd don't play until Washington. So I mean,
- 11:26Speaker 1: I'm old school, right. I go back to his team
- 11:29Speaker 1: and I remember training camp being double days in pads,
- 11:33Speaker 1: full contact and and not even thinking twice in Monday
- 11:37Speaker 1: night they're tackling Travis cy Tianna going, whoa, what are
- 11:40Speaker 1: we doing here? Right? Changed? Well, yeah, I mean you
- 11:43Speaker 1: do because that's the way the league is involved. You
- 11:46Speaker 1: You're trying to get your guys through and and log him.
- 11:49Speaker 1: And if you were here to be the first one
- 11:50Speaker 1: to say, hey, look, he's all for the players safety, right,
- 11:52Speaker 1: get these guys to the regular season. Um, But part
- 11:55Speaker 1: of me wants to see everybody play and get a
- 11:57Speaker 1: couple of snaps in every game. But that's just the
- 12:00Speaker 1: way that we do it in this game. You know,
- 12:01Speaker 1: we have to be patient, which is annoying. It is.
- 12:04Speaker 1: And I would say that that if Devin Lloyd isn't
- 12:06Speaker 1: ready week one or even week two. Fine, wait, there's
- 12:10Speaker 1: a guy you hold place twelve years for you. You
- 12:12Speaker 1: can't mess around with the hamstring either, because it will
- 12:14Speaker 1: be all year if you bring it back to it.
- 12:16Speaker 1: When Leonard Fournet popped his hamstring an opening day into
- 12:18Speaker 1: that was the team. It ruined. The offense absolutely wasn't
- 12:21Speaker 1: the same and that is big things. When we come

- 12:46Speaker 1: to have Brent Martineau here with us. Johns, you're joining
- 12:49Speaker 1: us back shortly in a couple of weeks dealing with
- 12:50Speaker 1: a family matter and we are wishing him well, but
- 12:53Speaker 1: you will be back with us. For all of those asking,
- 12:55Speaker 1: it's time for this or that presented by Price dot
- 12:57Speaker 1: Com comparison contrasting, Brian, I'll play off what we were
- 13:01Speaker 1: just talking about. You know, last year was the first
- 13:03Speaker 1: year that they had three preseason games brand new format.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Right um in night they went to a four preseason
- 13:11Speaker 1: because they had six before, right, So they've gone from
- 13:13Speaker 1: six six to four to three, And I'm asking is
- 13:15Speaker 1: at the right number? They have four this year because
- 13:18Speaker 1: of the extra game that's the game in camp. So
- 13:20Speaker 1: it is for the right number because you can use
- 13:22Speaker 1: the first and the fourth to really see young guys
- 13:25Speaker 1: and use those two in the middle to get the
- 13:27Speaker 1: work you need done. Who is three the right numbers
- 13:29Speaker 1: or is to the right number? What is the right
- 13:31Speaker 1: number of preseason games? I like three. I think I
- 13:35Speaker 1: think the three is right. I don't think we're gonna
- 13:36Speaker 1: get the two anytime soon, but I don't mind the three.
- 13:39Speaker 1: At least it's not four overall. I think that's the best.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Although we do the broadcast and get a chance to
- 13:45Speaker 1: enjoy every day. But yeah, I agree with that. I
- 13:49Speaker 1: also love the fact that he doesn't look old enough
- 13:51Speaker 1: to be the historian, but he also can throw out
- 13:53Speaker 1: nine yesterday. He's got some stories. Now. I'm a football geek,
- 13:58Speaker 1: I'll say this. I am. I think people they stay
- 14:02Speaker 1: in the here and now in forty years ago, right,
- 14:05Speaker 1: so they forget that they used to play fourteen regular
- 14:07Speaker 1: season games and six preseason games six six There was
- 14:11Speaker 1: no offseason. Guys came to camp for six weeks to
- 14:15Speaker 1: get in shape, just you know, as a matter of perspective,
- 14:18Speaker 1: so that you're looking at where we are now with
- 14:19Speaker 1: the O T A S and the offseason work. Of course,
- 14:22Speaker 1: guys back then also had jobs selling tires. You're hanging
- 14:25Speaker 1: dry wall. Now they make enough money they don't have to.
- 14:29Speaker 1: So it's just we've evolved, the game has evolved. I
- 14:33Speaker 1: just I'll say I'd like to see four preseason games
- 14:36Speaker 1: just because I think that it allows you the time.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Now I don't want to go to six weeks of
- 14:40Speaker 1: training camp. Right. Um. I like that that extra game
- 14:44Speaker 1: because I think you can play all the young guys
- 14:45Speaker 1: in week one, right, you can mix a sprinkle a
- 14:48Speaker 1: couple of guys in here. But by the time you
- 14:49Speaker 1: get to the last week in Atlanta practice and then
- 14:52Speaker 1: your guys sit for almost two weeks, right, I like that.
- 14:55Speaker 1: I think that gives it more flexibility. We're never going
- 14:57Speaker 1: back to it, And I think you're say, if this happens,
- 14:59Speaker 1: this is all your We're never going back. And we're
- 15:02Speaker 1: probably at least two cycles of the c B A,
- 15:03Speaker 1: which is like two decades. Just two games that you
- 15:07Speaker 1: go to to then you know the next leverage point
- 15:09Speaker 1: the negotiation is eighteen regular season games and they're not
- 15:12Speaker 1: going there. So yeah, see, I don't think you can
- 15:14Speaker 1: get enough in. I just think with Doug Peterson's team
- 15:16Speaker 1: this year, the fourth game fits the extra work and
- 15:19Speaker 1: to get a team ready to play definitely. Alright, Bratt,
- 15:21Speaker 1: what he got my turn for this or that I'm
- 15:23Speaker 1: going to the left guard spot because I think all
- 15:25Speaker 1: of a sudden, when we went into this camp right
- 15:27Speaker 1: and we saw right tackle is really the only starting
- 15:30Speaker 1: position battle that you were keyed in on outside of
- 15:32Speaker 1: kick her right. Well, now all of a sudden, we've
- 15:34Speaker 1: got an emerging competition at left guard based on the
- 15:38Speaker 1: way Tyler Shatley played last Friday and Ben Bartch here
- 15:42Speaker 1: he comes. Now. Interestingly enough, he got first team reps
- 15:44Speaker 1: today and practice and he goes out of practice he
- 15:46Speaker 1: got hit by the maybe de hydration, we don't know exactly,
- 15:49Speaker 1: but he was actually thrown up on the sidelines, so
- 15:51Speaker 1: he had to go in that tent. Yeah, but he
- 15:54Speaker 1: got the first team reps and that says a lot
- 15:56Speaker 1: to me. Now this game is huge for the left
- 15:58Speaker 1: guard spot and also a big deal. I think for
- 16:01Speaker 1: the comfortability of this offense and Doug Peterson, because one
- 16:04Speaker 1: of the things that Peterson said to us last week
- 16:08Speaker 1: was that Luke Fortner, he's really good and he's going
- 16:11Speaker 1: to be good, but it's nice having Shatley right next
- 16:14Speaker 1: to him if he misses a call or doesn't see
- 16:16Speaker 1: something that a veteran can see. So you're taking that
- 16:18Speaker 1: element out and I kind of like that element in.
- 16:20Speaker 1: But I also love the idea that potentially Ben BArch
- 16:23Speaker 1: is gonna go beat him out, because that's a guy
- 16:24Speaker 1: you drafted and have developed now. And if you get
- 16:27Speaker 1: Cam BArch, Fortner Sheriff and walk a little or Jowan Taylor,
- 16:32Speaker 1: you could have that line for the next three to
- 16:34Speaker 1: five years here in Jacksonville going forward with Trevor Lawrence
- 16:37Speaker 1: taking snap. Well, look, all due respect to Tyler Shadley, right,
- 16:40Speaker 1: here's the guy who should up here as an undrafted rookie,
- 16:44Speaker 1: and they gave him a roster spot because they didn't
- 16:46Speaker 1: think they'd be able to get him through the practice squad.
- 16:48Speaker 1: And he's been here it's seventeen. They don't go to
- 16:51Speaker 1: the playoffs. If when Brandon Linder goes down, you know
- 16:54Speaker 1: he missed five weeks, five games in the middle of
- 16:57Speaker 1: the heart of the season. If he can't step in
- 16:59Speaker 1: and give them turned seamless. But he's a break glass
- 17:02Speaker 1: in case of emergency guy. As far as I'm concerned,
- 17:04Speaker 1: he's he doesn't have the size and the length I
- 17:07Speaker 1: think like Barge does to be that consistent force. I
- 17:10Speaker 1: think he's a guy that you want to guard. You
- 17:12Speaker 1: want its center. He's more valuable to you in that
- 17:15Speaker 1: role than he is as a start at Barts. Played
- 17:17Speaker 1: eleven games last year, started eleven games and played really well.
- 17:20Speaker 1: Um and I talked to and you probably have to
- 17:23Speaker 1: Phil Rauscher, the offensive line coach, and I said, give
- 17:25Speaker 1: me a guy that we really need to be paying
- 17:28Speaker 1: attention to. Who's the next Tyler Shatley? He said, I've
- 17:31Speaker 1: been through with Ben Barge. Um, now just I throw
- 17:33Speaker 1: wrinkling to it. I think Walker Little is your right tackle.
- 17:36Speaker 1: I think Jawann Taylor ought to be getting some reps
- 17:38Speaker 1: it card. Really, I think he would be a Pro
- 17:40Speaker 1: Bowl caliber guard. He's such a powerful guy in a
- 17:43Speaker 1: phone booth. I think he would literally I think he
- 17:46Speaker 1: would vault from who's Jowan Taylor? He's a right tackle too.
- 17:48Speaker 1: Have you seen Jowan Taylor. He's gonna hit the free
- 17:50Speaker 1: agent market as a guard, and I know he didn't
- 17:52Speaker 1: like it last year when people asked him because tackles
- 17:55Speaker 1: make more money than guards. But the guard next team
- 17:57Speaker 1: makes eighteen million bucks a year, right, Okay, I would
- 18:01Speaker 1: think playing guard would be good, Playing guards better than
- 18:03Speaker 1: the bank, Yeah, I would. I don't be surprised if
- 18:05Speaker 1: you don't see at some point, um U Juwan Taylor
- 18:09Speaker 1: getting some repsit card because I want Taylor's been pretty
- 18:11Speaker 1: good so far now holding them off. Yeah, but but
- 18:14Speaker 1: Walker a Little, just long term, he just he's more
- 18:17Speaker 1: fluid and and better moving sideways than you wanted. What
- 18:21Speaker 1: I could see happening, it's similar to what we talked
- 18:22Speaker 1: about with Juwan Taylor and Walk a Little. I could
- 18:24Speaker 1: see Juan Taylor and Shot Lee being the guy's starting
- 18:27Speaker 1: week one. But then I'm Walker a Little enters the
- 18:29Speaker 1: lineup and Ben BArch and there's a lineup that's it.
- 18:32Speaker 1: Then they keep them. But I hate to do the
- 18:34Speaker 1: respect thing, but I could just see them going with
- 18:37Speaker 1: that group, and then once they go in and they
- 18:39Speaker 1: play well enough, they're not gone back. There's nothing wrong
- 18:41Speaker 1: with respect. It sends a message to your locker room
- 18:43Speaker 1: when you when you send the respect and you're talking
- 18:46Speaker 1: about two guys who have been here for a while
- 18:47Speaker 1: and who have earned their stripes, I get it, and
- 18:49Speaker 1: I mean no disrespect to either one of them. I'm
- 18:51Speaker 1: looking objectively at it, and I think BArch and Little
- 18:54Speaker 1: are your guys. But those two, if they're in the lineup,
- 18:57Speaker 1: they can help you organizationally. Quick too, is that if
- 19:01Speaker 1: Walker Little doesn't play right tackle, yeah, you run the
- 19:03Speaker 1: risk of putting a second round draft pick from last
- 19:06Speaker 1: year on the bench for two straight seasons. I mean,
- 19:08Speaker 1: that's great job by Jowan Taylor to hold him off,
- 19:10Speaker 1: and credit to him for winning the battle, but that's
- 19:13Speaker 1: not gonna look good with that second round pick overall.
- 19:16Speaker 1: I mean, you got to play these guys sooner or later,
- 19:19Speaker 1: so that brings that conversation in the sides. I look
- 19:22Speaker 1: at him and I think he's ready to go. Now.
- 19:24Speaker 1: He does look ready to go. If it's this close
- 19:26Speaker 1: of a battle, I can so see. It's at the point.
- 19:28Speaker 1: You gotta plan at this point because if not, it
- 19:30Speaker 1: doesn't look like a good draft pick. This is also
- 19:32Speaker 1: the last year of Juwan Taylor's contract. He's on a
- 19:34Speaker 1: four year deal right on his rookie contract, and so
- 19:36Speaker 1: you're gonna have to be making a call about that.
- 19:38Speaker 1: You might as well if it's that close, and it
- 19:40Speaker 1: seems like the guy who's got plenty of time on
- 19:42Speaker 1: his deal. Fascinating stuff. We're gonna find out more about
- 19:45Speaker 1: that in Saturday's game. We're going to find much more
- 19:47Speaker 1: about this last wide receiver spot depending on if they
- 19:49Speaker 1: keep five or six receivers. This is fascinating to me.
- 19:53Speaker 1: Lakwan tread Well or Laws Kashnal, which is crazy to
- 19:56Speaker 1: even put in the universe that Lavis Kasnal might not
- 19:58Speaker 1: make this football team if they keep six receivers. I
- 20:01Speaker 1: think both of them make it. If you keep five receivers,
- 20:03Speaker 1: this is your last spots. And gosh, I make the
- 20:06Speaker 1: argument after watching training camp every single day, I think
- 20:10Speaker 1: Kwan Tribball deserves it. Yeah, here's the deal. I think
- 20:13Speaker 1: the Jags don't have a competition at all at the
- 20:16Speaker 1: wide receiver spot, and I think those five guys are
- 20:19Speaker 1: gonna make it. And also Jamal Agnew, I think there's
- 20:22Speaker 1: gonna be a six because of his return ability, and
- 20:25Speaker 1: I think they're gonna keep six guys. Now, you could
- 20:27Speaker 1: be right. If it's a numbers game it comes down
- 20:29Speaker 1: to five, they'll be very interesting. But I do have
- 20:33Speaker 1: that's what you have to keep back. You have to,
- 20:35Speaker 1: I would think. And also he gives your wrinkles on offense,
- 20:37Speaker 1: so there's plenty of reason to keep him. And I
- 20:39Speaker 1: like what Treadwell has done. But I'm a fan of
- 20:41Speaker 1: Shi at all, more of a fan than anybody else.
- 20:44Speaker 1: I think he can have a bounce back here. And
- 20:46Speaker 1: he too gives you Brian another guy that you might
- 20:48Speaker 1: have to game plan for is a defense even if
- 20:51Speaker 1: you just use them for twelve snaps a game. And
- 20:53Speaker 1: we wouldn't have seen that so far. I mean, they're
- 20:55Speaker 1: not going to give that away in the preseason, right.
- 20:57Speaker 1: We've seen them do some things on the practice field
- 21:00Speaker 1: with him. I have when he's been practicing. If I
- 21:02Speaker 1: was basing it on practice today, I'd say Labisco because
- 21:04Speaker 1: he had a really good day today. Um. I tend
- 21:07Speaker 1: to lean with you on this one. I think she
- 21:09Speaker 1: alta a guy that they've got wrinkles. Four. I don't
- 21:12Speaker 1: think he's a receiver as much as I think he's
- 21:13Speaker 1: a jackknife, you know, a utility in fielder to use
- 21:16Speaker 1: your baseball background. He's Jose a Kendo. He can do
- 21:19Speaker 1: a lot of different thing. You're smiling because you know
- 21:23Speaker 1: not that, but went to the back machine. I'm really old.
- 21:27Speaker 1: It's yeah, well I get people going. They're looking it
- 21:29Speaker 1: up now. I think I think he can do a
- 21:31Speaker 1: lot of different things for you. And and just on
- 21:33Speaker 1: agnute people. Forget last year against Denver he set the
- 21:35Speaker 1: franchise record for the longest scoring play in franchise history,
- 21:38Speaker 1: and then the next week against the Cardinals, he did
- 21:41Speaker 1: it again, right two back weeks, and then he scored
- 21:44Speaker 1: on a sixty six yard reception and a thirty nine
- 21:47Speaker 1: yard run. Oh no, no, he is at I don't
- 21:50Speaker 1: think he's six, by the way, I think he's your
- 21:52Speaker 1: return man and he's fourth or fifth. I think he
- 21:54Speaker 1: gives you that many. He looked good at practice today,
- 21:58Speaker 1: has been good to your point. Yeah, And I think
- 22:00Speaker 1: I just could see the argument to use tread well more,
- 22:02Speaker 1: which is a great problem to have. I agree. I
- 22:04Speaker 1: don't think you can let either of those guys go,
- 22:06Speaker 1: so you have to keep six. Eliminates my argument. But
- 22:08Speaker 1: it's okay, you know what I think. You know, it's
- 22:10Speaker 1: a good argument because they don't always keep six. You
- 22:12Speaker 1: know what I think in his in a small way,
- 22:14Speaker 1: hurts la Quan is you look at him. He's a
- 22:15Speaker 1: big guy, he runs pretty well. And then you've got
- 22:17Speaker 1: Za Jones, who's a big guy who runs really well.
- 22:19Speaker 1: We got a big guy that runs really well. Don't
- 22:21Speaker 1: have the jack knife, so numbers could work against the
- 22:24Speaker 1: quand but you know he's a guy who made tough
- 22:26Speaker 1: catches last year for you when you needed them. So
- 22:28Speaker 1: you have a hard time letting that talent go. I
- 22:30Speaker 1: brought this up the other day. If you guys remember
- 22:32Speaker 1: though a time where really there's not a battle for
- 22:34Speaker 1: that last I mean, potentially it's a battle here, but
- 22:37Speaker 1: let's just say they keep six. There's nobody creeping in
- 22:39Speaker 1: on that now we've had and all these other guys,
- 22:43Speaker 1: And I was really looking at Joan Winningham as a
- 22:45Speaker 1: guy out of the spring. Looked good. But I don't
- 22:48Speaker 1: think there's anybody knocking on the door out of those
- 22:50Speaker 1: six guys. And you wouldn't be surprised if they when
- 22:52Speaker 1: they add the practice squad receivers, that none of them
- 22:55Speaker 1: are are here in camp now because there's nobody that
- 22:57Speaker 1: you're going with that. Guys absolutely on the practice squad,
- 22:59Speaker 1: at least I haven't seen it. Maybe they have. What's
- 23:01Speaker 1: the craziest as I was just talking to someone on
- 23:03Speaker 1: the staff today about this. Do you remember a time
- 23:05Speaker 1: last year when the quad Trouble was your number one
- 23:07Speaker 1: guy at this point last year or not this point
- 23:09Speaker 1: last year, But at the end of last season we
- 23:11Speaker 1: were talking about Trouble being like the go to guy,
- 23:13Speaker 1: the number one guy, and now we're talking about making
- 23:15Speaker 1: the roster. So how far they've come? Absolutely all right?
- 23:19Speaker 1: And that is the sort that presented by Price dot Com.
- 23:21Speaker 1: And we come back on Jaguars Drive Time. I look
- 23:23Speaker 1: at the preseason broadcast. Jaguars Game Day Radio is brought
- 23:32Speaker 1: to you by Vistar Credit Union, do Good Bank Better.
- 23:37Speaker 1: We're about Jaguars Drive Town on a Wednesday, post practice,
- 23:40Speaker 1: coming off the training camp field. We have one more
- 23:42Speaker 1: training camp practice tomorrow at Episcopal High School. It is
- 23:45Speaker 1: crazy to think. I want to say it has gone
- 23:47Speaker 1: by fast, but it really hasn't. Back Jaguars Drive Time
- 23:49Speaker 1: with Brian Sexton and Brent Martineau the last day and
- 23:52Speaker 1: we got to give a shout out to a pistol.
- 23:54Speaker 1: It was seamless. It was a great training camp. There
- 23:56Speaker 1: were zero issue, zero wrinkles. And when this was presented,
- 23:59Speaker 1: I thought of the gonna be a lot, and it hasn't.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Good people that have been excellent hosts, and it certainly
- 24:04Speaker 1: has worked out being so close. I mean, you think
- 24:06Speaker 1: it's up Atlantic Boulevard a little way, it's it's a
- 24:08Speaker 1: seven minute draw. It's yeah, it's it. For the circumstances
- 24:12Speaker 1: this year, I don't think they could have asked anything better.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Thankfully I got here on time because it's so close that.
- 24:18Speaker 1: I mean, that's by the way. A shout out to
- 24:21Speaker 1: Episcopal uh and also a shout out to the operation
- 24:24Speaker 1: staff here with the Jaguars because they did a fantastic job.
- 24:28Speaker 1: I thought it was from our advantage point, from a
- 24:30Speaker 1: media stampoint though it was felt the same, like there
- 24:33Speaker 1: was nothing different, But then there are busses and for
- 24:35Speaker 1: everybody else tell me in their workings. Um, I thought
- 24:38Speaker 1: it was absolutely fantastic. I'd go back there again next year,
- 24:41Speaker 1: but you don't have to because you get this new
- 24:42Speaker 1: thing well. And Doug's good about letting us wander all
- 24:44Speaker 1: around the fields. Not every coach is that opens and
- 24:47Speaker 1: and and there's some shade in one corner of the field,
- 24:50Speaker 1: first shade in the history of Jacks training camp, right, Yeah,
- 24:53Speaker 1: So I found that quickly and I really appreciate it.
- 24:55Speaker 1: But it's what's coming here next year with this new
- 24:57Speaker 1: facility and the covered stands for folks, it's going to
- 25:00Speaker 1: be an amazing training camp venue every year. So it
- 25:04Speaker 1: wasn't as much fun not having fans out there to
- 25:06Speaker 1: interact with the players this year, but from this point
- 25:08Speaker 1: forward they'll fill the stands up. It is worth the way.
- 25:11Speaker 1: Absolutely did miss the fans too, so it will be
- 25:13Speaker 1: nice to have the energy that they bring. Absolutely well.
- 25:17Speaker 1: You two are on the preseason TV broadcast along with
- 25:21Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, and I want to talk to you guys
- 25:22Speaker 1: about the production meetings because I think that's so valuable
- 25:25Speaker 1: a time where you can sit with Trevor Lawrence or
- 25:27Speaker 1: sit with coach Peterson. We're gonna evaluate, like me on
- 25:29Speaker 1: the sideline, I want to talk about hold on, let
- 25:32Speaker 1: me call this up, um. I want to hear the
- 25:35Speaker 1: takeaways from the first week of doing that because that's
- 25:38Speaker 1: a time where they can kind of let their guard
- 25:39Speaker 1: now they're not standing in front of a huge press
- 25:41Speaker 1: conference and they can just talk. Well. A year ago
- 25:45Speaker 1: we had one in person with Trevor Lawrence, remember that
- 25:48Speaker 1: upstairs in the upper Club, and I remember thinking, Wow,
- 25:51Speaker 1: I mean, this kid really is everything that they thought
- 25:53Speaker 1: that they said he was. And when he walked in
- 25:55Speaker 1: and sat down the other day, he still dazzled me
- 25:58Speaker 1: with his his under standing of the process of what
- 26:01Speaker 1: we were trying to get done, of his understanding of
- 26:05Speaker 1: the big picture of this franchise and where it is,
- 26:08Speaker 1: and in his ability to just sit back and I'm
- 26:10Speaker 1: really excited to see z A Jones and it tell
- 26:12Speaker 1: us why and not give away anything, right, but to
- 26:16Speaker 1: you know, give us a storyline that we can work with.
- 26:19Speaker 1: If you like him because of the player that he is,
- 26:21Speaker 1: you would love him as a person. He's fantastic. Yeah.
- 26:24Speaker 1: I love this part of the job. I love this
- 26:26Speaker 1: part of August, being able to on the sidelines go
- 26:28Speaker 1: to the production meetings. I always tell anybody that will listen,
- 26:31Speaker 1: pr Folks or anybody else in the building, like I
- 26:33Speaker 1: wish I could go to these every week because you
- 26:35Speaker 1: do learn a little bit something. It is a different
- 26:37Speaker 1: setting away from the microphone and uh. Last week we
- 26:40Speaker 1: had Josh Allen in. He was terrific by the way
- 26:42Speaker 1: the energy of Josh Allen, what he's done to really
- 26:46Speaker 1: embrace I think this city, this franchise, and this year
- 26:49Speaker 1: where there could be a lot of pressure on him.
- 26:51Speaker 1: And I even said in the production but I said,
- 26:52Speaker 1: you look more free than I've ever seen you. He's
- 26:55Speaker 1: a good personality guy, as we all know, but he
- 26:57Speaker 1: is like ready to go and to the point where
- 27:00Speaker 1: you would buy a lot of stock on Josh Allen
- 27:03Speaker 1: for what this year might look like. And then you
- 27:05Speaker 1: said about Trevor and it doesn't surprise me, but even him,
- 27:07Speaker 1: he's getting more comfortable around everyone here in Jacksonville. They
- 27:11Speaker 1: didn't get that luxury last year for these new guys
- 27:13Speaker 1: coming in with with the rules and restrictions and COVID
- 27:16Speaker 1: and we're back to normal. And then there's Doug Peterson
- 27:19Speaker 1: and the biggest part of it. It is such a
- 27:20Speaker 1: great higher because it's a perfect fit forget about the
- 27:23Speaker 1: football stuff we all know, this place, this building, this
- 27:26Speaker 1: locker room, this city I think needed Doug Peterson. And
- 27:30Speaker 1: I think you feel that a lot of times off
- 27:32Speaker 1: on microphone, but I think we felt that a little
- 27:33Speaker 1: bit more in the production meetings. Too. It's it's a
- 27:36Speaker 1: terrific fit. He's fun. Um. He knows what this is,
- 27:40Speaker 1: this league is, and obviously that wasn't the case last
- 27:43Speaker 1: year when we're in those kind of I mean he look,
- 27:45Speaker 1: he came into the league with Shula and Marino and
- 27:47Speaker 1: then he went to home Grinn and Farv in Green Bay,
- 27:49Speaker 1: and then he connected with Andy Reid in Philly and
- 27:51Speaker 1: went to Kansas City with him and then went to
- 27:53Speaker 1: Philly himself. He has seen it big markets, historic markets,
- 27:58Speaker 1: small markets. He under stands what the situation is here.
- 28:02Speaker 1: It was a great It was great to come in
- 28:04Speaker 1: with Trevor Lawrence, but to come in with the owner
- 28:06Speaker 1: building the practice facility. This is a great job and
- 28:08Speaker 1: he knows it and he's really excited about it. And
- 28:10Speaker 1: that comes through, Yeah, and just the stress free nature
- 28:13Speaker 1: of him. I will say today, when the offense wasn't
- 28:15Speaker 1: looking as good, there was an illegal formation with a
- 28:17Speaker 1: wide receiver and I thought, oh, because Peterson might get
- 28:19Speaker 1: a little mad about this, and he just picked up
- 28:21Speaker 1: the football and said, next group, No need to yell,

- 28:42Speaker 1: offensive coordinator for the first time, defensive coordinator having to
