- 1:17Speaker 4: So this wasn't my job, resume when you guys brought
- 1:19Speaker 4: me on to calm people down, Like I thought we
- 1:21Speaker 4: could just be honest after that first preseason game.
- 1:24Speaker 3: But I wasn't told in the email we have to
- 1:25Speaker 3: calm people down. But I'm nervous now. Pete does not
- 1:28Speaker 3: calm anybody down. I got you at all.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Never. By the way, welcome to the insane Asylum, Austin.
- 1:35Speaker 2: We're gonna have it. We're gonna have a great time. Look.
- 1:38Speaker 2: I berated and abused the last.
- 1:40Speaker 5: Guy that'sat in the seat, so he ended up as
- 1:42Speaker 5: being a general manager.
- 1:44Speaker 2: So if I berate and abuse you, you'll probably end
- 1:46Speaker 2: up being the champion of the world.
- 1:48Speaker 3: And you're wait, see I like that. Yeah, we're moving on,
- 1:50Speaker 3: U man. I like it. You can watch it on
- 1:52Speaker 3: CBS apparently coming up too.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that's a good that's a good thing.
- 1:57Speaker 3: The deal.
- 1:58Speaker 2: By the way, who who did you say was down
- 2:01Speaker 2: the hall?
- 2:02Speaker 3: But silly who?
- 2:04Speaker 2: Who? Oh?
- 2:04Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right, what are you talking about.
- 2:09Speaker 2: He's gone, it's sober, he's upstairs.
- 2:12Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying he's down the hall, he's you know, okay,
- 2:14Speaker 3: But I'm curious if he has rabbit ears like the
- 2:17Speaker 3: last guy.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Of course he does, of course he does. You know
- 2:21Speaker 2: he's gonna have rabbit ears? Are you kidding me? Now,
- 2:24Speaker 2: he'll do it in a playful way. He won't do
- 2:27Speaker 2: it in a mean, nasty way, right, I think.
- 2:33Speaker 3: I would hope so.
- 2:33Speaker 4: But to be honest with you, man, is it true
- 2:36Speaker 4: that did you bully him into the EVP job or
- 2:39Speaker 4: did he take that job willingly?
- 2:41Speaker 3: No?
- 2:42Speaker 2: A little bit of both, I think.
- 2:43Speaker 3: Okay, okay, I a little.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Bit of both.
- 2:46Speaker 5: I mean, look, it was. It's a great opportunity for him.
- 2:48Speaker 5: I'm happy for him. I think he's great in that job.
- 2:50Speaker 5: He's be great in the role. But what it really does,
- 2:53Speaker 5: if the thing goes rotten, it gives us. It gives
- 2:56Speaker 5: us a layup on every week.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's the low hanging fruit there, Pete.
- 3:02Speaker 5: I mean, and now he's not only that, he's dressing
- 3:06Speaker 5: like Gladstone.
- 3:08Speaker 3: Oh we had how about Pete? We had both those
- 3:10Speaker 3: guys on together the last three weeks on the Liam
- 3:13Speaker 3: Cohen Show. We don't have the coach yet until the
- 3:15Speaker 3: regular season. So it's been Gladstone and Bisselli together and
- 3:18Speaker 3: it's like the movie Twins, remember that one where it's
- 3:21Speaker 3: like Schwarzenegger individo by wrong.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Though when he used to come on the show, he'd
- 3:25Speaker 2: wear a T shirt or he button down shirt or something.
- 3:28Speaker 5: Now he's wearing these Lulu Lemon hoodies or whatever. He's
- 3:33Speaker 5: dressed like wets.
- 3:34Speaker 3: And these short shorts. Well, all of a sudden, they're
- 3:37Speaker 3: back in style. It's ridiculous. Listen, I'm gonna shout.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Out to you should come in a hoodie. You should
- 3:42Speaker 2: come in a hoodie.
- 3:43Speaker 3: One day.
- 3:43Speaker 4: So, and I don't know, James Gladstone and some of
- 3:46Speaker 4: these coaches actually did a science experiment at training camp
- 3:48Speaker 4: because we saw one day James Gladstone was rocking actually
- 3:51Speaker 4: like a full fledged hoodie, which was insane to me
- 3:53Speaker 4: because we're talking about like ninety degrees. Yeah, practice, And
- 3:56Speaker 4: if you're the GM of the Jacksonville Jaguars, why you
- 3:59Speaker 4: got a sweat you know? I mean, I'm wearing a
- 4:01Speaker 4: tank top. As far as i'm you can't tell me nothing.
- 4:04Speaker 4: I brought Travis Hunter here, but we saw him in
- 4:06Speaker 4: a hoodie, so I was like I was curious if
- 4:08Speaker 4: I were a hoodie out to practice for the full time,
- 4:11Speaker 4: how much you know, how much weight would I lose?
- 4:13Speaker 3: What would my heart rate be? Just standing there?
- 4:15Speaker 4: And we actually measured out. I was talking, I was,
- 4:17Speaker 4: I was talking to some of the other but you
- 4:19Speaker 4: were standing there. It wasn't I mean I was passionately
- 4:22Speaker 4: arguing sometimes too, but you.
- 4:24Speaker 3: Were standing there. I was pastially arguing.
- 4:26Speaker 4: By the way, burned eight hundred calories, lost five pounds,
- 4:30Speaker 4: So don't just say I was standing there. Okay, the
- 4:32Speaker 4: heart right got up to one hundred and thirty five,
- 4:34Speaker 4: my resting heart rate sixty.
- 4:35Speaker 3: So I was doing some work out there, Pete.
- 4:37Speaker 5: Wow, So so wait, so you lost five pounds just
- 4:41Speaker 5: standing there.
- 4:42Speaker 3: I can't stress enough you guys.
- 4:44Speaker 2: I was.
- 4:44Speaker 3: I was in it.
- 4:46Speaker 4: I was kind of jogging a little bit, trying to
- 4:48Speaker 4: see like the team's periods.
- 4:49Speaker 3: They had a goal line period.
- 4:51Speaker 4: I couldn't see anything, so I had to kind of
- 4:53Speaker 4: drag a little bit around the field to see that
- 4:54Speaker 4: goal lion period.
- 4:55Speaker 3: I was working out there the day.
- 4:57Speaker 5: The day I was there at training camp is the
- 5:00Speaker 5: hottest day in Jacksonville history, I think, or.
- 5:02Speaker 3: One of them.
- 5:03Speaker 5: Remember I think it was one hundred and one that
- 5:05Speaker 5: day and JP drags me out into midfield to talk
- 5:09Speaker 5: to the fans before before practice, and half of.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Them hated me and half of them loved me.
- 5:14Speaker 3: Right, that's about right, And that's what I expect.
- 5:18Speaker 2: That's that's what you want, that's what you want. See
- 5:21Speaker 2: right now, everybody loves Austin right the new.
- 5:24Speaker 5: Guy comes in, former player, everybody love it, give him,
- 5:31Speaker 5: give him a month, you know of half hating him
- 5:33Speaker 5: and half loving them.
- 5:34Speaker 2: That's just the way it is.
- 5:35Speaker 3: After the first loss of the season. Guess what if, Austin,
- 5:40Speaker 3: you're out there and uh, you know, as honest as
- 5:43Speaker 3: you want to be, you're going to hear it from
- 5:46Speaker 3: both sides.
- 5:46Speaker 5: I think that defense play the other night Austin would
- 5:49Speaker 5: have been starting even in his age.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Right now, is.
- 5:53Speaker 3: This overreaction, Monday Peene?
- 5:55Speaker 2: It sounds like you, Well, look, I'm one of those guys.
- 5:58Speaker 5: When I look at the PRECISA, I can't analyze it.
- 6:01Speaker 5: I can't break it down. What was the Jaguars record
- 6:04Speaker 5: the preseason last year?
- 6:06Speaker 2: Three?
- 6:06Speaker 5: And okay, enough set a good team, but he can't
- 6:13Speaker 5: evaluate it. You're playing against guys that will be working
- 6:17Speaker 5: you know in on Wall Street or bouncing at a
- 6:20Speaker 5: bar in a couple of weeks. You know, it's just
- 6:22Speaker 5: you can't evaluate it. It's you hope to see some things,
- 6:27Speaker 5: little things, but the big picture evaluation cannot be done.
- 6:31Speaker 5: It just can't be done. Now, I'll say this, that
- 6:34Speaker 5: was a sloppy team. That team was sloppy the other
- 6:38Speaker 5: night in a lot of ways. And you know, we
- 6:40Speaker 5: look at the defense. Can I watched the tape this afternoon.
- 6:43Speaker 5: I can't tell you how many times JP where the
- 6:47Speaker 5: call is coming in and they're looking at each other,
- 6:49Speaker 5: pointing at each other, and the Steelers are running the
- 6:52Speaker 5: play right, I mean, they were just they were not
- 6:55Speaker 5: in any sort of rhythm and sync at all on
- 6:58Speaker 5: defense and it showed up and Cap Pinelli's too good
- 7:02Speaker 5: at coach for that.
- 7:03Speaker 2: Could be a problem.
- 7:04Speaker 5: So I don't know what the disconnect was or why
- 7:07Speaker 5: it happened, but that was a major issue for them
- 7:09Speaker 5: on defense the other night.
- 7:10Speaker 4: So that was one of the things for the pregame
- 7:12Speaker 4: show that I was gonna watch because if you know Camp,
- 7:15Speaker 4: you know coach Camp he does in terms of schemes
- 7:18Speaker 4: and coverages, they can be a little complicated. Now, Granted,
- 7:20Speaker 4: it's the preseason, so it's gonna be meat and potatoes, right,
- 7:23Speaker 4: But I did see some guys out there turn around
- 7:26Speaker 4: kind of hands up and everything, and the ball's getting snapped,
- 7:28Speaker 4: and I get it. Okay, it's the first preseason game,
- 7:32Speaker 4: but I feel like some of those things, along with
- 7:34Speaker 4: those penalties, those things.
- 7:35Speaker 3: Can carry over to the regular season.
- 7:38Speaker 4: So I think those are some things to be cautious
- 7:40Speaker 4: about a little bit where you got to clean them up.
- 7:42Speaker 4: You got to clean up the pre snap penalties, right,
- 7:45Speaker 4: those they get cleaned up. And obviously you can't have
- 7:47Speaker 4: guys turning around wondering what you got when you're in
- 7:49Speaker 4: zone coverage because in the real game it's gonna happen
- 7:52Speaker 4: even faster.
- 7:53Speaker 3: Yeah, And they actually worked on that today. Pete coach
- 7:56Speaker 3: going after practice today, was like, hey, we didn't have
- 7:58Speaker 3: pads on. Weich had helmets. And that's what it was about.
- 8:01Speaker 3: It was about communication. It was about all of that
- 8:05Speaker 3: being in the right spot on defense mainly, but on
- 8:08Speaker 3: both sides of the ball.
- 8:10Speaker 2: You know, Austin, you made a good point. It was
- 8:12Speaker 2: vanilla as vanilla can be.
- 8:13Speaker 5: And they were still having communication problem with what happens
- 8:15Speaker 5: when it starts getting complex. I mean, that's the scary
- 8:19Speaker 5: thing about it, because when I watched practice, I'm sure
- 8:21Speaker 5: you guys have been out there more than me. They
- 8:24Speaker 5: seem to really grasp it and they love it, and
- 8:27Speaker 5: they loved the complexity of it and being able to
- 8:29Speaker 5: show double a gap mug blitzers and backing out of
- 8:32Speaker 5: it and dropping guys out and blitzing guys. Well, they
- 8:35Speaker 5: didn't do any of that the other night, and they
- 8:36Speaker 5: still had busts and really seemed to be lost at time.
- 8:40Speaker 2: So that is a little concern.
- 8:42Speaker 5: I'm glad they went back and did a mental day
- 8:44Speaker 5: today rather than go out and do something physical.
- 8:47Speaker 2: I think that makes a lot of sense. I think
- 8:48Speaker 2: Liam Cole was smart to do that.
- 8:50Speaker 3: Jaguars Happy Our TENTIONONEXLAM, Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube JP Shadrick,
- 8:55Speaker 3: Pete Prisco and Austin Lane. It's the first show of
- 8:58Speaker 3: the twenty twenty five season. How about the offensive performance.
- 9:02Speaker 3: The starters go one drive, guys, they go twelve plays,
- 9:06Speaker 3: field goal penalties, full start on the first play of
- 9:10Speaker 3: the game. It's never ideal. And then the double penalty
- 9:13Speaker 3: negated one of the Travis Hunter catches a little bit later,
- 9:18Speaker 3: but they overcame gotten field goal range and got at
- 9:21Speaker 3: least something down the field too, and they extended to
- 9:24Speaker 3: drive with a fourth down play as well. That right here,
- 9:26Speaker 3: we're looking at it on Jaguars dot Com. Overall, Austin
- 9:30Speaker 3: from the starting offense, what did you gather if anything?
- 9:33Speaker 4: I mean, we just saw that play with Towammie Brown
- 9:35Speaker 4: getting picked up and carried back. I've seen a couple
- 9:37Speaker 4: of yards there. I can't believe that wasn't a full
- 9:39Speaker 4: fledged fistfight. I feel like if you do that ten
- 9:41Speaker 4: years ago, there's gonna be players on the sideline coming
- 9:43Speaker 4: to have his back, man, because it's almost like the
- 9:46Speaker 4: sign of disrespect. We picked somebody up and kind of
- 9:48Speaker 4: carry him back a little bit. But in terms of
- 9:50Speaker 4: this offense, the biggest question for me was what does
- 9:53Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence look like? And I thought for the most part,
- 9:56Speaker 4: I thought he commanded the offense. Well, he had a
- 9:58Speaker 4: nice pass to Breton Strange where it wasn't the first look,
- 10:01Speaker 4: but he I think it was a second look. He
- 10:03Speaker 4: looked calm collected back. There there was one instance where
- 10:06Speaker 4: the pocket broke down a little bit and he took off.
- 10:08Speaker 4: You know, the old Trevor Or. Yeah, the old Trevor
- 10:10Speaker 4: would have probably stayed back there a little longer, try
- 10:12Speaker 4: to make something happen, and maybe it's a fumble.
- 10:14Speaker 3: Right.
- 10:15Speaker 4: So I think overall, you didn't get the ball in
- 10:18Speaker 4: the end zone against a lot.
- 10:19Speaker 3: Of twos, right, And that's gonna linger with that offense.
- 10:22Speaker 3: I'm sure you know.
- 10:23Speaker 4: That's something that they talked about after that game. But overall,
- 10:25Speaker 4: I think Trevor Lawrence being the most important cog of
- 10:28Speaker 4: that machine.
- 10:28Speaker 3: I thought he looked pretty damn good.
- 10:31Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think everything that he's worked on carried
- 10:35Speaker 5: over to the game. The motion was quicker, the mechanics
- 10:39Speaker 5: were better, the feet weren't as elongated, he was tighter.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Everything was tighter, quicker, and the ball got out.
- 10:46Speaker 5: That was what I wanted to see because he talked
- 10:49Speaker 5: about it all offseason. You wonder, though, would it carry
- 10:52Speaker 5: over when when guys start getting around him and hit
- 10:54Speaker 5: trying to hit him.
- 10:55Speaker 2: And it did. And so I think you made a
- 10:58Speaker 2: couple points on two plays.
- 11:00Speaker 5: The one that's strange was really that's that's big boy
- 11:03Speaker 5: football right there. You look come over to the right,
- 11:05Speaker 5: you open to your right, you come back and then
- 11:07Speaker 5: you hit him in the middle of the field and
- 11:09Speaker 5: throw a pitpoint pass where he's pretty pretty decent coverage
- 11:13Speaker 5: on that play. That was impressive to me. That was
- 11:16Speaker 5: a good play.
- 11:17Speaker 2: Now, the one where he took off and ran. I
- 11:21Speaker 2: didn't like that one, And I'll tell you why.
- 11:24Speaker 3: And I'll tell you why.
- 11:25Speaker 2: You go back.
- 11:26Speaker 5: Yeah, here, if we go back and run this play again,
- 11:28Speaker 5: he's got Parker Washington on a cross or if he
- 11:31Speaker 5: wants it. He also has Travis Hunter wide open if
- 11:37Speaker 5: he wants to throw it. And that's the first time
- 11:40Speaker 5: I watched the All twenty two tape today. It's the
- 11:42Speaker 5: first time we'll see Travis Hunter jumping up and down
- 11:46Speaker 5: complaining about I'm.
- 11:48Speaker 2: Wide open and I get the football.
- 11:49Speaker 5: It wasn't like he was mad, but he was jumping
- 11:51Speaker 5: up and down because he's clearly wide open between the
- 11:54Speaker 5: between the safety and the corner and.
- 11:56Speaker 2: He doesn't look at him. Now. I don't know what
- 11:58Speaker 2: the progression is on that play. I imagine that's the
- 12:00Speaker 2: last one, but he was open.
- 12:03Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there's in terms of like that internal timing, right,
- 12:06Speaker 4: I think we're seeing a guy now that's making the
- 12:07Speaker 4: decisions a little quicker.
- 12:09Speaker 3: If he doesn't see what he likes, he takes off.
- 12:10Speaker 4: Could he have hit that shot, absolutely, but he did
- 12:13Speaker 4: get three yards out of it.
- 12:14Speaker 3: Now you know, it wasn't a game changing run by
- 12:16Speaker 3: any The only thing he don't No, I don't want
- 12:20Speaker 3: to see if head first diving crazy in the first place.
- 12:25Speaker 2: But don't you Washington. He had Parker Washington on the
- 12:29Speaker 2: little crosser in that scenario. Give it to him. Take
- 12:33Speaker 2: yourself out of the equation.
- 12:34Speaker 5: Give him the ball Parker Washington takes to hit, not
- 12:37Speaker 5: your star quarterback.
- 12:38Speaker 2: That's that's why I think he should have gone there, right.
- 12:42Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard to retrain that though.
- 12:43Speaker 2: That's what it was better. It was better. It was quicker,
- 12:46Speaker 2: the motion was quicker, the mechanics were quicker.
- 12:48Speaker 5: He seemed comfortable, the ball got out. It was it
- 12:51Speaker 5: was different. It looked different, and he looked different. I
- 12:54Speaker 5: think that's a good thing.
- 12:56Speaker 4: I think we can also celebrate too that, you know,
- 12:58Speaker 4: in terms of the screen game, which has been lacking.
- 13:00Speaker 4: I feel like, I don't know the past decade, maybe
- 13:02Speaker 4: since I hadn't played. In terms of screens and everything,
- 13:04Speaker 4: I thought they showcased a couple of screens. That's obviously
- 13:06Speaker 4: gonna be a staple in that Liam Cohen offense. And
- 13:09Speaker 4: Travis Etn had one the Jets sweep to to Dowmmy Brown,
- 13:12Speaker 4: which I'm not sure if you want to show that
- 13:14Speaker 4: in the preseason, but it looked great.
- 13:16Speaker 3: Prepare for it. You got it on tape.
- 13:19Speaker 5: Yeah, but if you go to practice, if you go
- 13:20Speaker 5: to practice, they run that player.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Everyone's you've seen it, right. I love I like that call.
- 13:25Speaker 5: It's it's a quick you know, you think you're gonna
- 13:27Speaker 5: hand it off inside and you get a quick, easy
- 13:29Speaker 5: turn and give him the back and he's around the corner.
- 13:31Speaker 3: It's easy.
- 13:31Speaker 5: Now, I'm with you on the screen game. I think
- 13:34Speaker 5: that's something they need to get back to. And Etn
- 13:36Speaker 5: is pretty good the screen game. I'll say this about
- 13:39Speaker 5: the running back position and we get we'll.
- 13:40Speaker 3: Get into the I just there's a lot.
- 13:45Speaker 2: But again, I like the offense.
- 13:47Speaker 5: I like the you know, it was very critical design
- 13:49Speaker 5: of the offense last year.
- 13:50Speaker 2: I hated it.
- 13:51Speaker 3: He loves buble screen. I know, Austin, you're new, welcome
- 13:54Speaker 3: to the show. You Pete loves bubble screens.
- 13:57Speaker 5: Okay, well, I don't mind bubble screens, but not when
- 13:59Speaker 5: you're run thirty five of them again.
- 14:02Speaker 2: I mean, you know, left right one.
- 14:04Speaker 5: They're one series where they ran a bubble screen to
- 14:06Speaker 5: the right, a bubble screen to the left, and came
- 14:07Speaker 5: back and ran another one did the right last year.
- 14:10Speaker 2: I mean, he's just got to get created to get
- 14:12Speaker 2: the ball down the field. I think they will get
- 14:14Speaker 2: the ball down the field eventually.
- 14:16Speaker 5: You didn't show a lot of that the other night,
- 14:18Speaker 5: but they will get it down the field.
- 14:20Speaker 3: All right. Plenty ahead, We got plenty of time to
- 14:22Speaker 3: dig into this a little bit more. The running back room.
- 14:24Speaker 3: Apparently Pete wants to dig in there. I'm all about it.
- 14:27Speaker 3: That's a competitive group.
- 14:28Speaker 2: I think, or competitive should it be?
- 14:33Speaker 3: Okay, ah, that's the thought. We'll get to that coming up.

- 15:02Speaker 3: Home Loans.
- 15:19Speaker 6: It takes us just coming in being ourselves every day,
- 15:21Speaker 6: being through to ourselves. As far as we obviously know
- 15:24Speaker 6: it's a physical sport. We all want to come up
- 15:26Speaker 6: with are the physical. But at the end of the day,
- 15:28Speaker 6: it's either you're gonna win or you're gonna lose. I
- 15:31Speaker 6: don't nobody want to lose, So coming there with that mindset,
- 15:33Speaker 6: I feel like as far as with our defensive perspective,
- 15:36Speaker 6: we want to be physical, we want to stop and run,
- 15:37Speaker 6: and that's our main focus.
- 15:38Speaker 3: First. That is Trayvon Walker earlier today after practice discussing
- 15:44Speaker 3: how to establish a defensive identity. It is Jaguars Happy
- 15:49Speaker 3: Hour presented by Jet Home Loans. We're on Tintin xl
- 15:52Speaker 3: Amjaguars dot Com, Jaguars YouTube JP Shadrick Austin Lane in
- 15:56Speaker 3: Jacksonville from Hyundai Studios of the mill Or Electric Center,
- 16:00Speaker 3: Go CBS Sports Senior writer as always down in South
- 16:03Speaker 3: Florida and good to hear from Trayvon Walker there. And
- 16:08Speaker 3: you know, he didn't get many snaps in the game,
- 16:11Speaker 3: but I think his point is good. You have certain
- 16:14Speaker 3: things you want to do as a defensive Pete. It
- 16:16Speaker 3: feels like you really get an identity once you play
- 16:19Speaker 3: some real football games. That's when you're really gonna find
- 16:21Speaker 3: out what it is.
- 16:23Speaker 2: But he talked about stopping the run. The Steelers didn't
- 16:26Speaker 2: run at all. I mean they weren't. They weren't very
- 16:29Speaker 2: good at all run of the football. So I think, yeah,
- 16:33Speaker 2: they have to they have to be better against a run.
- 16:35Speaker 5: Let's be real, the way they're constructed right now on
- 16:37Speaker 5: the offense defensive side of the ball, they're not good
- 16:40Speaker 5: enough to stop the run in a regular season game
- 16:42Speaker 5: with what they have on the field. Defensively, I don't
- 16:44Speaker 5: think they need they need Armstead on the field. They
- 16:48Speaker 5: need Mason Smith on the field. They need those guys playing.
- 16:52Speaker 5: You know, Armstead, I hadn't played at all one How
- 16:56Speaker 5: long has he been out.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Now, I mean a fit actually, I think probably about
- 17:01Speaker 3: a week or so with the back injury.
- 17:02Speaker 2: But he was father than that because he wasn't practicing
- 17:04Speaker 2: when I was there.
- 17:06Speaker 3: That's right. But then all of a sudden he sits
- 17:08Speaker 3: out the scrimmage and that's when a lot of people
- 17:10Speaker 3: notice for the first time, I think, And then they said, oh,
- 17:13Speaker 3: he's got a sore back.
- 17:15Speaker 5: Well, here's something that and I'm not just saying that
- 17:18Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 17:19Speaker 2: His situation, but I'm going to say this as a.
- 17:21Speaker 5: Big picture of the National Football League right now, Injured
- 17:26Speaker 5: and hurt are two different things. And we're seeing a
- 17:28Speaker 5: lot of guys sit out with stuff that back in
- 17:32Speaker 5: the day, even when Austin played, they might have played
- 17:36Speaker 5: and practice.
- 17:38Speaker 2: And so you go all around this league right now,
- 17:40Speaker 2: there are so.
- 17:41Speaker 5: Many guys sitting out practice all across the league.
- 17:44Speaker 2: I mean it's incredible.
- 17:46Speaker 5: Every stop I've been to, this guy's not practiced with
- 17:49Speaker 5: twelve guys out this week, this day.
- 17:52Speaker 2: So I'm concerned.
- 17:55Speaker 5: Armstead right now is a major issue for that team,
- 18:00Speaker 5: as Smith is a major issue for this team.
- 18:03Speaker 2: They have to be on the field.
- 18:05Speaker 5: What we saw the other night, did you see any Austin?
- 18:07Speaker 5: Did you see anything from the defensive interior?
- 18:10Speaker 3: So this would make no not at all.
- 18:12Speaker 4: And this is really my biggest takeaway from this defense
- 18:15Speaker 4: right now, Like it doesn't matter if you have the
- 18:17Speaker 4: bookends on the outside with with Trayvon Walker and Joshua
- 18:20Speaker 4: hinz Allen, your defense will only be as good as
- 18:23Speaker 4: your interior defenders in terms of defensive tackles allow you
- 18:26Speaker 4: to be and right now it seems to be lacking.
- 18:29Speaker 4: And if you want to talk about Eric Armstead and
- 18:31Speaker 4: you want to talk about the back injury, I mean,
- 18:33Speaker 4: I think Jaygars fans have a little PTSD in terms
- 18:35Speaker 4: of back injuries around this place.
- 18:37Speaker 3: From you know, years ago and everything.
- 18:39Speaker 4: So like that, that just that and in general doesn't
- 18:42Speaker 4: sound good. And obviously, being the preseason, we don't know
- 18:44Speaker 4: the extent of these injuries right We don't know what's
- 18:46Speaker 4: going on with Mason Smith right now. But I would
- 18:48Speaker 4: think that if Eric Armistead could truly practice, I hope
- 18:52Speaker 4: that he would because keep in mind, I understand that
- 18:54Speaker 4: he had a very you know, he had a great
- 18:56Speaker 4: career in San Francisco. You know the prior GM brings
- 19:00Speaker 4: him over here. He plays out a position for the
- 19:03Speaker 4: most part last year with the old defensive coordinator. They
- 19:06Speaker 4: get a new regime and everything. But if I'm Merrick Armstead,
- 19:09Speaker 4: I want to make that good first impression because as
- 19:12Speaker 4: far as I'm concerned, James Gladstone, UH coach Camp, coach Comb,
- 19:18Speaker 4: they don't know, they don't owe me anything. Like as
- 19:20Speaker 4: far as I'm concerned, I still have to prove myself.
- 19:22Speaker 4: So you know, if it's a lingering injury where it's
- 19:25Speaker 4: kind of here, I would hope that he you know,
- 19:28Speaker 4: it's a serious injury where he can't be out there,
- 19:29Speaker 4: because if there's if you're teeter tottering, you probably should
- 19:32Speaker 4: be out there. And as far as Mason Smith's concerned,
- 19:35Speaker 4: you know, everything that I've heard is he was you know,
- 19:37Speaker 4: he was training really hard during the offseason.
- 19:39Speaker 3: Has this injury. We're not sure how long he is
- 19:41Speaker 3: going to be out of But.
- 19:43Speaker 4: At the end of the day, in this coach camp defense,
- 19:45Speaker 4: you can have all the different coverages you want, but
- 19:48Speaker 4: you can't make up for deficiencies on the interior defensive line.
- 19:51Speaker 3: I will say this about Mason Smith, the guy's peete.
- 19:53Speaker 3: It's you know, he's been working off to the side
- 19:55Speaker 3: out in the open practices.
- 19:57Speaker 2: What injury.
- 19:58Speaker 3: It looks like lower body. One of his lower legs
- 20:01Speaker 3: is wrapped. They haven't said officially what it is.
- 20:04Speaker 2: It's like it's like hockey now. They're just a lower
- 20:07Speaker 2: lower dud.
- 20:09Speaker 5: But you're right though, also because I heard the same
- 20:12Speaker 5: stuff that he had been just a madman all off
- 20:15Speaker 5: season and he'd gotten into really good shape, and they
- 20:18Speaker 5: were counting on him being a big part.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Of what they were going to do.
- 20:21Speaker 5: So it has to be this one has to be
- 20:23Speaker 5: frustrating for him personally.
- 20:25Speaker 2: And the team. Armstead is a veteran. Camp ain't fun.
- 20:29Speaker 5: Okay, let's be real. Camp isn't fun. Nobody likes it.
- 20:34Speaker 5: But I'm not saying he's jaking it because I don't know,
- 20:37Speaker 5: and we don't know the extent of the injury.
- 20:39Speaker 2: And teams, by.
- 20:39Speaker 5: The way, do it players disserviced by not telling you
- 20:44Speaker 5: what the injury is?
- 20:46Speaker 2: What?
- 20:47Speaker 3: What is it?
- 20:47Speaker 2: What exactly is his injury? Is it a disc injury?
- 20:52Speaker 2: Is it just a tweak in the back?
- 20:55Speaker 3: Is it?
- 20:55Speaker 2: What is it?
- 20:56Speaker 5: And so now what's out there is where? And they're
- 21:00Speaker 5: speculating on is.
- 21:01Speaker 2: He jaking it or not right?
- 21:04Speaker 5: And so if I'm Eric Armstead, I'm going in front
- 21:09Speaker 5: of everybody saying, look.
- 21:10Speaker 2: Dude, this is what my injury is. I have a
- 21:13Speaker 2: disc herniated disc or whatever it is. If he does
- 21:16Speaker 2: have that, then say it.
- 21:19Speaker 5: We the NFL has become so paranoid about the injuries,
- 21:23Speaker 5: but then they don't ever look at the other.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Side of it. It exposes him.
- 21:27Speaker 5: It opens them up to criticism that maybe he doesn't
- 21:30Speaker 5: deserve right if he has a bat a truly a
- 21:33Speaker 5: herniated disc or something wrong with his back, he should
- 21:36Speaker 5: say it.
- 21:39Speaker 3: Fair. I mean, it's fair.
- 21:40Speaker 4: But at the same time, I feel like, now with
- 21:42Speaker 4: social media and everything, if something truly was wrong, what's
- 21:44Speaker 4: to stop a player from just going on online.
- 21:46Speaker 3: And he's got his own podcast. I mean, like, listen,
- 21:49Speaker 3: I'm sure.
- 21:51Speaker 2: Like calling him out for jaking.
- 21:59Speaker 3: I love this guy already.
- 22:01Speaker 4: No, But I mean, I think if it is serious,
- 22:03Speaker 4: if it was me, right, and obviously I'm the modern
- 22:07Speaker 4: era NFL player, right, so I'm watching everything, I'm putting
- 22:11Speaker 4: my name in Twitter and I'm searching it up, and
- 22:13Speaker 4: I'm seeing what people are saying about me.
- 22:15Speaker 3: Well, what they're saying about me now probably isn't the
- 22:17Speaker 3: most positive, right.
- 22:18Speaker 4: So if that's the case, then I'm gonna go maybe
- 22:20Speaker 4: against coaches wishes of hey keep on the dot. No,
- 22:23Speaker 4: I'm gonna be like, here's what's going on. I'm actually
- 22:25Speaker 4: hurt and hopefully I'll be back soon. Like that's that's
- 22:28Speaker 4: what I would say. It could be cryptic, It could
- 22:31Speaker 4: have some rap lyrics to it too, if you want
- 22:32Speaker 4: to do that, because a lot of players are into that.
- 22:34Speaker 3: But whatever the case may be.
- 22:35Speaker 4: But I'm gonna put something out there to let people
- 22:37Speaker 4: know exactly what's going on.
- 22:39Speaker 2: But you know, you talk about it, go against coaches wishes.
- 22:42Speaker 5: I remember back in the day when Coughlin used to
- 22:44Speaker 5: tell players, don't say anything.
- 22:45Speaker 2: About your injuries. And I remember walking up to Hardy Nickerson.
- 22:48Speaker 2: I go, how's your leg? He goes, well, I'm not
- 22:50Speaker 2: allowed to talk about it. I go, it's your leg.
- 22:52Speaker 2: It's your damn leg. It's not their leg, it's your leg.
- 22:56Speaker 2: It's Eric arch Send's back.
- 22:58Speaker 5: Yeah, And I don't think what's going on with him
- 23:01Speaker 5: because you know, you hear it.
- 23:02Speaker 2: You guys live near I've heard a bunch of it.
- 23:05Speaker 5: There are a lot of fans out there who are
- 23:07Speaker 5: questioning his heart and desire right now to be on
- 23:10Speaker 5: the field, and as long as in Austin as well.
- 23:13Speaker 2: By the way, I.
- 23:18Speaker 5: Look rightfully so, because they'd exposed him to that, you
- 23:21Speaker 5: should just make it go away.
- 23:23Speaker 2: He can make it go away. They can make it
- 23:26Speaker 2: go away. What's the damn injury? And how long is
- 23:29Speaker 2: he going to be out? Not just let where is
- 23:31Speaker 2: he he's not practicing? You know, what I mean, it
- 23:33Speaker 2: just leaves it open.
- 23:34Speaker 3: Fred Taylor's injury was legitimate, clearly, I mean, the thing
- 23:38Speaker 3: was off the bone, but they all called him day
- 23:40Speaker 3: to day back then, right, Pete, instead of just saying
- 23:42Speaker 3: what it was.
- 23:43Speaker 2: As soon as it happened, he was day to day.
- 23:46Speaker 5: And that thing was ripped off the bone so badly
- 23:49Speaker 5: that it looked like he got shot with a sniper,
- 23:51Speaker 5: you know. And that's how bad it was. And he
- 23:54Speaker 5: dropped the ball. Fred dropped the ball, He fumbled. That's
- 23:57Speaker 5: how bad that was day to day. And so what
- 24:00Speaker 5: happened with Fred Taylor is it became well, why is
- 24:02Speaker 5: any back?
- 24:02Speaker 2: He's day to day? Why is he back? Well, the
- 24:04Speaker 2: thing was ripped off the bone. This is this We
- 24:06Speaker 2: don't know if this is the same type of scenario.
- 24:09Speaker 3: But that's the point.
- 24:10Speaker 2: Two things are at play here.
- 24:11Speaker 3: Though.
- 24:12Speaker 2: There's only two things.
- 24:13Speaker 5: Either he's really hurt and they need to say it,
- 24:16Speaker 5: or he needs to say it, or he's not really
- 24:18Speaker 5: hurt and they're frustrated like crazy the fact that he
- 24:20Speaker 5: isn't practicing. That's the only two things at play here.
- 24:24Speaker 5: So neither one is great, by the way.
- 24:27Speaker 4: No, but Pete, even in the fact, because listen, the
- 24:30Speaker 4: the MO of this organization, this regime, whether we're talking
- 24:33Speaker 4: about James Gladstone, talking about Tony Basselli or head coach
- 24:36Speaker 4: Liam Cohen, them has been to keep everybody in the
- 24:39Speaker 4: loop right to kind of peel the curtain back a
- 24:42Speaker 4: little bit and take us behind there, Like, are you
- 24:44Speaker 4: a little surprised that we don't know what's going on
- 24:46Speaker 4: right now? Because when Week one starts, we'll know. So
- 24:49Speaker 4: what competitive advantage do you have right now by kind
- 24:52Speaker 4: of keeping it, you know, under wraps, not telling anybody
- 24:55Speaker 4: from a couple of weeks down the line, when it's
- 24:56Speaker 4: week when you're playing Carolina, then we'll all know.
- 25:00Speaker 5: Could tell you I was around a couple of different
- 25:01Speaker 5: spots and and you know, people talking this league and
- 25:03Speaker 5: they're they're looking for a defensive they're looking I mean,
- 25:06Speaker 5: you know, they're the people may they know the Jaguars
- 25:09Speaker 5: are looking so and they signed one. I mean, they
- 25:12Speaker 5: did sign one, right, so they need more. And if
- 25:18Speaker 5: if Armstead and Smith aren't around that group that's right
- 25:22Speaker 5: there on the field right now, isn't good enough?
- 25:24Speaker 7: Just isn't.
- 25:26Speaker 3: We've got plenty ahead. We'll return and get in the
- 25:29Speaker 3: running back room. We'll see who Austin's gonna accuse of
- 25:32Speaker 3: something in that room coming up.
- 25:33Speaker 4: Pete's it gets not even a half hour in.
- 25:45Speaker 2: The team's doing that to them or he's doing it
- 25:47Speaker 2: to himself, one or the other. Austin's not wrong.
- 25:49Speaker 3: Austin's gonna fit in just fine, I think on this show.
- 25:52Speaker 3: UH JAG's Football is officially back. Be there as Travis Hunter,

- 26:17Speaker 3: Happy Hour presented by Jet Home Loans.
- 26:23Speaker 7: Ultimately, it's something that takes no talent to do, and
- 26:29Speaker 7: you know, we can't beat anybody. This is something we've
- 26:32Speaker 7: been preaching for a long time since we arrived, was
- 26:36Speaker 7: we cannot start to beat people until we stop beating ourselves.
- 26:39Speaker 7: And that has remained pretty consistent since February or wherever
- 26:45Speaker 7: it's been so Yeah, frustrating for sure.
- 26:48Speaker 3: Liam Cohen after the game Saturday on the penalties for
- 26:52Speaker 3: the Jaguars Welcome Back Jaguars Happy Hour presented by Jet
- 26:55Speaker 3: Home Loans from the Hundai Studios of the Miller Electric Center.
- 26:59Speaker 3: Coming up in two at five o'clock. We have fanatics,
- 27:02Speaker 3: fan questions, and we'll keep it real. That's all coming
- 27:06Speaker 3: up in a little bit. JP Shadwick, Pete Prisco, and
- 27:09Speaker 3: Austin Lane the first Monday Show of twenty twenty five
- 27:12Speaker 3: on ten TXLAM, Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube. Jaguars
- 27:17Speaker 3: running backs Travis et and Junior officially got the start
- 27:21Speaker 3: on the Saturday night. He played twelve snaps in the game.
- 27:25Speaker 3: Tank Bigsby fifteen snaps in the game, with Quinn Allen
- 27:28Speaker 3: the rookie sixteen the base Shoal Teuton had twenty and Jackson,
- 27:33Speaker 3: the other rookie, had two snaps in the game. And
- 27:36Speaker 3: in terms of their production in the running department, Bigsby
- 27:40Speaker 3: six for twenty four, Tooton six for twenty four in
- 27:43Speaker 3: a touchdown, Etn two for six had some passing game work,
- 27:48Speaker 3: and Touton had a couple catches in the passing game. So, Pete,
- 27:52Speaker 3: we've been waiting anxiously for your take on the running
- 27:54Speaker 3: back room.
- 27:55Speaker 5: Well, because the entire offseason, everybody kept saying that Bigsby
- 27:59Speaker 5: was going to be the start arting running back and
- 28:02Speaker 5: I never bought that.
- 28:04Speaker 2: Why But I also no, I just don't think I don't.
- 28:09Speaker 5: Look, he's a nice runner, he's a puff runner, but
- 28:11Speaker 5: I don't think he's.
- 28:12Speaker 2: What they need at running back.
- 28:15Speaker 5: I don't think Etn is the guy either. I think
- 28:19Speaker 5: Twton will be their starting running back. Now might not
- 28:22Speaker 5: happen on the first game, but at some point it'll happen.
- 28:28Speaker 5: And here's why we saw that the other night. The
- 28:31Speaker 5: reason why not you're playing a preseason game. So, but
- 28:34Speaker 5: you've seen glimpses of it this entire when he's been
- 28:36Speaker 5: on the field. I know he's digged up a little bit.
- 28:39Speaker 5: There was a play, and I'm gonna start with Etn.
- 28:41Speaker 5: There was a play early in that game where he
- 28:46Speaker 5: took a hand off and right tackle Anton Harrison just
- 28:53Speaker 5: blew his guy down the line and all Etn.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Had to do.
- 28:58Speaker 5: And I'm thinking about Fred Taylor and his heyday put
- 29:01Speaker 5: his foot in his put in the ground and pop
- 29:03Speaker 5: it behind that block as he drives it.
- 29:07Speaker 2: He beat him so badly.
- 29:08Speaker 5: He's down the left, He's on the left side of
- 29:09Speaker 5: the line. That's how he caved it in. It was
- 29:12Speaker 5: and he runs for about twenty yards and instead he
- 29:16Speaker 5: ran smack dab into the guy that Anthon Harrison was blocking.
- 29:21Speaker 5: Didn't didn't cut, didn't try and pop outside, didn't try
- 29:24Speaker 5: and go that way, went right into him. Later in
- 29:28Speaker 5: the game, when tots in the game and the backup
- 29:31Speaker 5: lines in the game, there was a handoff in the
- 29:34Speaker 5: middle of the field that I don't remember the exact
- 29:36Speaker 5: yard age he was but it was a six yard
- 29:38Speaker 5: run I think he had where he started to.
- 29:41Speaker 2: The right and popped it to the left. You saw
- 29:45Speaker 2: a little juice in there, a little cutback ability.
- 29:49Speaker 5: Then later on when he scored that touchdown, there was
- 29:52Speaker 5: a little juice and a little power.
- 29:55Speaker 3: The power wasn't in his in his scouting report, honestly.
- 29:59Speaker 5: But if you went back and watch his college tape,
- 30:01Speaker 5: there was more of that than you see. I loved
- 30:03Speaker 5: him coming out. He was one of my favorite guys.
- 30:05Speaker 5: In fact, three of their rookies were on my annual
- 30:08Speaker 5: Better than team right twenty guys that I like better
- 30:12Speaker 5: than the scouts. He was one of them, and the
- 30:16Speaker 5: other two were the two offensive linemen who might have
- 30:20Speaker 5: been as good as any of the offensive linemen on
- 30:21Speaker 5: the field the other night. Mannheim was terrific at left
- 30:25Speaker 5: guard when he was on the field, and I thought
- 30:29Speaker 5: he would be a center, but he was really good
- 30:32Speaker 5: the other night and left guard.
- 30:33Speaker 2: And Mylam was.
- 30:35Speaker 5: The other one who played it right tackle and left
- 30:37Speaker 5: tackle and was good in those situations. So but Twoton,
- 30:41Speaker 5: to me, gives him what the other two guys don't,
- 30:45Speaker 5: the ability to take a run front side and be
- 30:48Speaker 5: able to take it backside the.
- 30:50Speaker 2: Other guy's run right at it. You agree with me, Austin,
- 30:54Speaker 2: I mean, there's not a lot of wiggle.
- 30:56Speaker 3: So I'm gonna say this with Etn.
- 30:58Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that that pre season game, you know,
- 31:01Speaker 4: he didn't show the best vision, and if you want
- 31:03Speaker 4: to be a great back in this league, you have
- 31:05Speaker 4: to have the vision. I did hear rumblings that everyone
- 31:08Speaker 4: was on tanking biggsby be in the starting running back.
- 31:10Speaker 4: I never bought that either, because I think what Liam
- 31:12Speaker 4: Cohen's looking for here in terms of the backfield is versatility.
- 31:16Speaker 4: If you think back to last year, if you had
- 31:18Speaker 4: Bucky Irving, Rashad White, well, what can they do well?
- 31:20Speaker 4: They can well, Bucky every Moore can run, run between
- 31:23Speaker 4: the tackles. He's also a great receiver. And the one
- 31:26Speaker 4: knock on Bigsby is is how dependable is he in
- 31:29Speaker 4: the receiving game. And I think he's one of those
- 31:32Speaker 4: guys where if you see him in the backfield, okay,
- 31:35Speaker 4: it's gonna be power, it's gonna be inside zone. But
- 31:37Speaker 4: he's not gonna scare us in the screen games. He's
- 31:39Speaker 4: not gonna scare us, you know, doing a wheel orut
- 31:41Speaker 4: anything like that. So I think it's gonna be some
- 31:44Speaker 4: combination of ETN and Twuton. I think with Tuton obviously
- 31:47Speaker 4: right now it's can you take care of the football,
- 31:49Speaker 4: which is the most important thing, right and and time
- 31:52Speaker 4: will tell with that once he gets those true game experience.
- 31:55Speaker 4: But I think we're gonna see a running back by
- 31:57Speaker 4: committee for the first couple of weeks see how they do.
- 32:00Speaker 4: But my money right now is on Traves CTM being
- 32:02Speaker 4: you started running back until proven otherwise I would agree.
- 32:05Speaker 5: I think on opening day he will be the running back.
- 32:07Speaker 5: It just becomes a matter of when Tooton takes over
- 32:10Speaker 5: as the guy. And you mentioned the fumbling because he
- 32:12Speaker 5: had fumbling problems at Virginia Tech, but he also fumbled
- 32:16Speaker 5: on the first day he was here, I guess, in
- 32:18Speaker 5: mini camp, and that.
- 32:19Speaker 2: Opened him up. But since that he's been really good
- 32:21Speaker 2: with the football.
- 32:22Speaker 5: And you know, Tiki Barber once was a fumbler and
- 32:25Speaker 5: he kind of cured himself of that. Coauughland kind of
- 32:27Speaker 5: cured himself, cured him of that, and he wasn't He
- 32:29Speaker 5: wasn't a fumbler after that.
- 32:31Speaker 2: So I just think holme run, pop put back ability.
- 32:36Speaker 2: I think they're both there with him.
- 32:38Speaker 5: And the fact that he did show the power, that's
- 32:41Speaker 5: a good thing because that's.
- 32:42Speaker 2: The one thing you were you know, I did see
- 32:44Speaker 2: it at Virginia Tech, but running with power in college
- 32:46Speaker 2: is totally different.
- 32:47Speaker 5: To see it a little bit, even in his first
- 32:49Speaker 5: game in a preseason game is good to see too well.
- 32:51Speaker 4: And I was pleasantly surprised by that because I'll be honest,
- 32:54Speaker 4: I wasn't watching a lot of ACC football last year.
- 32:56Speaker 3: You know, I mean, you have to you have to.
- 32:57Speaker 4: Sec where it just means a little more right and Obviously,
- 32:59Speaker 4: I'm from Wisconsin. I'm a big ten guy, so I
- 33:02Speaker 4: wasn't really, you know, too intrigued with Tutons game in
- 33:04Speaker 4: terms of running football between the tackles. But he showed
- 33:07Speaker 4: me something there and I was excited for that because
- 33:10Speaker 4: then it got me thinking, Okay, well, what is Liam
- 33:13Speaker 4: cohen ZMO?
- 33:14Speaker 3: What does he like to do?
- 33:15Speaker 4: He likes those two back formations, you know that twenty
- 33:18Speaker 4: one personnel twenty personel. I think he calls a pony package.
- 33:21Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, or that's what he called it in Tampa.
- 33:23Speaker 4: So now if you have a combination of Tuton and
- 33:26Speaker 4: travesy Etn back there, I'm all for. And maybe you
- 33:29Speaker 4: throw Tank Bigsby in that mix as well. But like,
- 33:32Speaker 4: and I'm without getting too much x's and o's here.
- 33:35Speaker 4: I remember when Green Bay used to run this back
- 33:37Speaker 4: in the day with AJ Dillon, and I would have
- 33:39Speaker 4: been Aaron Jones, and teams got keen to it because
- 33:42Speaker 4: you saw, okay, well we got AJ Dillon, who's like
- 33:44Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty pounds.
- 33:45Speaker 3: He's not going to be that receiver, so we set
- 33:47Speaker 3: the strong side to him.
- 33:48Speaker 4: We have a linebacker account for Obviously, the passing of
- 33:51Speaker 4: Aaron Jones will go from there. Same thing happened in
- 33:54Speaker 4: Dallas when you had Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard. Ezekie
- 33:57Speaker 4: Elliott's the guy between the tackles and then you have
- 34:00Speaker 4: Tony Pollard was.
- 34:01Speaker 3: The receiving back.
- 34:02Speaker 4: Well, then you go to Indianapolis and you have Jonathan
- 34:05Speaker 4: Taylor and you have nim Hines. That kind of changed
- 34:08Speaker 4: the game a little bit because Taylor can be a
- 34:10Speaker 4: receiver as well. So now you had two essentially receivers
- 34:13Speaker 4: in the backfield causing mismatches. I think Liam con can
- 34:16Speaker 4: do that exact same thing here. He did it obviously
- 34:18Speaker 4: in Tampa Bay. And if you have etn if you
- 34:21Speaker 4: have Tuton back there, that could be a mismatch nightmare.
- 34:25Speaker 5: Here's and you're right, but here's part of the equation
- 34:27Speaker 5: that we don't know. In Tampa Bay, Rashad White's one
- 34:31Speaker 5: of the best third down blockers in the NFL.
- 34:33Speaker 2: He'll put his nose right in there.
- 34:35Speaker 5: The criticism of Ethen is he doesn't isn't great in
- 34:38Speaker 5: pass protection.
- 34:39Speaker 2: We don't know if Tuton can do it, he might
- 34:41Speaker 2: be willing. Do you know who can do it? Alan
- 34:45Speaker 2: can do it?
- 34:49Speaker 3: He is not scared of contact.
- 34:52Speaker 5: He will stick his and by the way, he can
- 34:54Speaker 5: catch the ball out of the backfield too. I mean,
- 34:57Speaker 5: I just think if you look at the big picture
- 34:59Speaker 5: for this team going forward, ETN is probably not going
- 35:03Speaker 5: to be here next.
- 35:04Speaker 3: Year, right, I mean, no, he's not gonna get a
- 35:07Speaker 3: second contract, you would think, especially with all these draft
- 35:09Speaker 3: picks they just got this year.
- 35:10Speaker 5: Okay, so you got to start peaking at some point
- 35:14Speaker 5: the season. You got to start peaking ahead. I'm not
- 35:17Speaker 5: to say that you start, but I think you still
- 35:19Speaker 5: have to win the job.
- 35:20Speaker 2: I mean, would have to win the job or whatever.
- 35:22Speaker 2: But I think their future is tooton. That's where I'm
- 35:26Speaker 2: at with that.
- 35:27Speaker 5: I think he's their future, and it might be sooner
- 35:30Speaker 5: rather than later.
- 35:31Speaker 2: I love home runs, but you know, I love though
- 35:32Speaker 2: the big play and he gives them that.
- 35:35Speaker 3: Could ETN force their hand into another contract though somehow
- 35:38Speaker 3: with like a monster year or is that just too much? No?
- 35:42Speaker 2: No, he is a running back.
- 35:43Speaker 5: There's no way he's getting another contract, right. No, No,
- 35:47Speaker 5: not when you draft two and there's a million of
- 35:50Speaker 5: them out there.
- 35:51Speaker 2: So no, he's not getting another contract. And by the way, the.
- 35:53Speaker 5: James Cook contract. He hasn't got a contract yet from
- 35:56Speaker 5: the Bills. They've offered him a deal from what I heard,
- 35:59Speaker 5: twelve million year. You gonna pay, You gonna pay ETN
- 36:02Speaker 5: twelve million.
- 36:03Speaker 3: They're paying them six and a half right now.
- 36:05Speaker 2: Pete, Well, they're paying James Cooked five and a half.
- 36:08Speaker 2: You're not gonna go from five and a half. You're
- 36:10Speaker 2: not gonna go from six and a half to twelve
- 36:11Speaker 2: with ETN.
- 36:12Speaker 5: You're just not gonna do that. So you gotta start
- 36:14Speaker 5: peeking ahead. It's a cruel reality NFL. He was drafted
- 36:18Speaker 5: in the first round, had lived up to it. Not
- 36:21Speaker 5: going to get a second contract as a runner in Jacksonville,
- 36:23Speaker 5: He's just not.
- 36:24Speaker 3: He kind of thought that was might be trending the
- 36:26Speaker 3: other way with the success of a couple of the
- 36:29Speaker 3: big name guys. Say one, right, all that, but it's
- 36:32Speaker 3: still the business of the league. And what is it
- 36:34Speaker 3: with running backs here?
- 36:35Speaker 4: Two man doesn't matter if they're undrafted free agentsy like
- 36:37Speaker 4: a James Robinson or Traves etm like they have like
- 36:39Speaker 4: those breakout seasons where it's like this is gonna be
- 36:41Speaker 4: the guy for the next decade, it seems like, and
- 36:43Speaker 4: then you know they.
- 36:44Speaker 3: Fall off a little bit. Wow, yeah, serious, what you know?
- 36:47Speaker 2: What you do?
- 36:47Speaker 5: You know what the cruel reality in the NFL is
- 36:50Speaker 5: you draft them, you run them into the ground, and
- 36:52Speaker 5: after four years you draft another one.
- 36:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 36:55Speaker 5: I say, there are millions of them out there, and
- 36:59Speaker 5: in certain situations you can.
- 37:01Speaker 2: You can if you have the good offensive line, they're
- 37:02Speaker 2: gonna run the football. No, there aren't Barclays out there.
- 37:06Speaker 5: There are guys like that dark Derek Henry's out there,
- 37:09Speaker 5: but there are there aren't James Cooks out there. Let's
- 37:13Speaker 5: be real, and so you got to ask yourself because
- 37:15Speaker 5: he worth twelve million dollars a year.
- 37:17Speaker 3: Let's come back in a moment and we'll get into
- 37:20Speaker 3: the specialists. Cam little from seventy the other night. How
- 37:25Speaker 3: do we open up with that? Oh, he had other
- 37:27Speaker 3: stuff to talk about.
- 37:28Speaker 2: This is a kicker, kicker, that's why.
- 37:30Speaker 3: That's apparently why. From the backyard to the beaches. The
- 37:35Speaker 3: Ford f one fifty with available pro Power on board
- 37:39Speaker 3: gives you the power of a mobile generator. Ford proud
- 37:42Speaker 3: partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. See your local Ford dealer today.
- 37:46Speaker 3: It's Jaguars Happy Hour, presented by jet Home Loans that
- 37:57Speaker 3: was a special moment.
- 37:58Speaker 8: I mean, I think the group, you know, not only
- 37:59Speaker 8: the specialist I realized how how cool that was.
- 38:03Speaker 3: But you saw the team just get.
- 38:05Speaker 8: Behind Cam and they realized how talented he is and
- 38:08Speaker 8: the type of person he is, so they love him
- 38:12Speaker 8: to death. And you can just see that the excitement
- 38:14Speaker 8: not only for the for the team, but for him
- 38:17Speaker 8: and in our group. So pretty cool moment. Obviously it's preseason,
- 38:22Speaker 8: you know, we understand that, but it was so cool
- 38:24Speaker 8: to be a part of that.
- 38:26Speaker 3: Seeth Farwell, the Jaguars special teams coordinator, after practice today,
- 38:30Speaker 3: Welcome back. It is Jaguars Happy Hour, JP Shadwick Priscoe,
- 38:34Speaker 3: Austin Lane First Hour presented by Jet Holme Loans seventy
- 38:40Speaker 3: yard field goal for Cam Little the end of the half.
- 38:43Speaker 3: They set it up, they get to play. They banged
- 38:45Speaker 3: the time out and Leam Cohen looked over and Cam
- 38:49Speaker 3: was like, yeah, let's go for it, and he got
- 38:52Speaker 3: it by about three yards. Austin, Yeah, it's wild, man,
- 38:56Speaker 3: not wild.
- 38:56Speaker 4: From the fact that I took after the Jaguars game
- 38:58Speaker 4: is the past year or so, the big story's always
- 39:00Speaker 4: been like, Ah, the punter or the kicker, right, and
- 39:02Speaker 4: then no difference here because this was a trending topic,
- 39:06Speaker 4: as it should have been. But unreal kick, man. You know,
- 39:09Speaker 4: it's shame that happened in the preseason. It's not gonna
- 39:12Speaker 4: officially count. There's an asterisk next to it. But nevertheless,
- 39:15Speaker 4: he's keeping that game ball for a reason, man, because
- 39:17Speaker 4: that was amazing.
- 39:19Speaker 2: You know, he's the best fourteen year old kicker I've
- 39:21Speaker 2: ever seen.
- 39:23Speaker 3: It's amazing till he drives a carnelievable.
- 39:26Speaker 5: He looks he's just some babyface candy booms the hell out.
- 39:30Speaker 2: Of the ball.
- 39:31Speaker 5: You know what the problem with this is now, anytime
- 39:34Speaker 5: in the game they get like inside seventy yards, the
- 39:38Speaker 5: fans are gonna be clamoring for a field goal, right,
- 39:41Speaker 5: no matter what you have four right, if.
- 39:44Speaker 2: It's a sixty five yard or round. He made it
- 39:46Speaker 2: from seventy, don't worry kick it. What are you gonna do?
- 39:49Speaker 2: You gotta kick it. But boy, he's got a big leg.
- 39:53Speaker 2: It must be nice.
- 39:54Speaker 5: And as much as I rip on special teams, and
- 39:58Speaker 5: believe me, I rip on them, you know, I told
- 40:01Speaker 5: Matt Lafleur the other day what I always say about
- 40:03Speaker 5: a kicker.
- 40:03Speaker 2: If I was a head coach. We sit in the
- 40:06Speaker 2: green room when they miss him on Sundays, and I go,
- 40:08Speaker 2: if I were the head coach, I'd walk over there
- 40:09Speaker 2: and choke.
- 40:10Speaker 5: I mean, I really wouldn't, but I'd say that, you know,
- 40:14Speaker 5: and because that's your only job in life is to
- 40:17Speaker 5: make your damn kicks.
- 40:19Speaker 2: I say it all the time, make.
- 40:20Speaker 3: Your da all the time. You say that, make your
- 40:22Speaker 3: damn kicks.
- 40:23Speaker 2: Yeah. In fact, those guys that barstool actually made a
- 40:26Speaker 2: T shirt out of that and started selling it.
- 40:29Speaker 5: By the way, I think I would never see anything
- 40:31Speaker 5: from Marvin Meyer anything, not one thing, zero. But when
- 40:38Speaker 5: you look at their kicking game, no worries at all,
- 40:42Speaker 5: zero worries. And that's always nice. So that's reassuring. But
- 40:46Speaker 5: the kid's a great kicker, and and he's only scratching
- 40:50Speaker 5: the surface.
- 40:52Speaker 3: Now.
- 40:52Speaker 5: Having said that, we've seen kickers who are just unbelievably
- 40:59Speaker 5: good for short periods of time and then next thing
- 41:03Speaker 5: you know, you look over you go, what the hell
- 41:05Speaker 5: happened to him?
- 41:08Speaker 3: Right?
- 41:08Speaker 5: Think back to the history of this league and and
- 41:12Speaker 5: I'm gonna give you a couple of examps. Remember when
- 41:13Speaker 5: Jason Myers was in Jacksonville, ye right, big leg and.
- 41:18Speaker 2: Boom it boom. It didn't work out well.
- 41:22Speaker 5: Then he goes when he went to the Jets, No
- 41:25Speaker 5: Jets first was it?
- 41:26Speaker 2: Jets first didn't work out? Then Seattle.
- 41:28Speaker 5: He becomes a guy that doesn't miss kicks, and then
- 41:32Speaker 5: you wonder when that's gonna go bad, because it goes bad.
- 41:36Speaker 5: But this kid hasn't even scratched the surface yet of
- 41:38Speaker 5: what he is as a kicker.
- 41:40Speaker 2: So he's a great weapon.
- 41:41Speaker 5: You don't want to use him because he's a field
- 41:43Speaker 5: goal kicker, but it's a great weapon that.
- 41:46Speaker 3: I mean when it comes down to kickoffs as well,
- 41:49Speaker 3: you got you've got to place it in certain spots.
- 41:51Speaker 3: He's been pretty good at that.
- 41:52Speaker 5: This league has made the placing of the field of
- 41:55Speaker 5: the of the kickoff such a challenge now because I
- 41:58Speaker 5: hate these stupid rules.
- 42:00Speaker 2: Yeah, and played football.
- 42:03Speaker 3: Yeah that was the thirty five right? Is that? What
- 42:05Speaker 3: was thirty five? Ridiculous kickers anything?
- 42:10Speaker 4: And it's funny too, man, because I talked to Josh
- 42:12Speaker 4: Scobey today and funny story about Josh Scobey. He was
- 42:14Speaker 4: actually in the bathroom. So he went to the game
- 42:15Speaker 4: obviously went to the bathroom before halftime. And actually missed
- 42:18Speaker 4: that kick and then came back and obviously was astonished.
- 42:22Speaker 4: But uh, listen to him rant about just like the
- 42:25Speaker 4: new rule changes, how they're not helping kickers, man. I mean,
- 42:27Speaker 4: he was. He was personally a victim, I feel like.
- 42:29Speaker 4: And he hasn't been in the game for a couple
- 42:31Speaker 4: of years now, man, but he was still pretty kicked
- 42:33Speaker 4: off about it.
- 42:33Speaker 5: You know, the Jaguars had actually had good kickers in
- 42:36Speaker 5: their history. Mike Hollis there was the original kicker, was
- 42:39Speaker 5: a good kicker. Scobe was a good kicker. Now they
- 42:43Speaker 5: had a couple of years where they didn't where they
- 42:45Speaker 5: didn't quite work out.
- 42:46Speaker 4: Didn't quite I had to burn some sage at the
- 42:49Speaker 4: stadium to try to, you know, get rid of that
- 42:51Speaker 4: curse for a while.
- 42:52Speaker 3: I feel like with this team in kickers.
- 42:53Speaker 2: Who was your kickers when you were there? It was Kobe,
- 42:58Speaker 2: So you were good.
- 42:58Speaker 3: I mean.
- 42:59Speaker 4: And by the way, I knew how big of a
- 43:01Speaker 4: deal Scoby was when I first got to the league
- 43:03Speaker 4: my rookie year.
- 43:05Speaker 3: His ego.
- 43:07Speaker 4: Break the dude who was driving an Aston Martin. Okay,
- 43:11Speaker 4: that's exactly you're driving an Aston Martin. You're doing something right,
- 43:14Speaker 4: But and without getting into too much details, I actually
- 43:17Speaker 4: prevented somebody from fighting Josh Scoby one time because somebody
- 43:21Speaker 4: pulled a prank in the locker room and they asked
- 43:24Speaker 4: me who did it, and I knew who it was,
- 43:26Speaker 4: Josh Scoby, and I wouldn't give him up because I
- 43:28Speaker 4: knew Scoby was a cat and he was that big
- 43:30Speaker 4: of a deal. So I got in a fight in
- 43:32Speaker 4: the in a cold tub literally my first week of
- 43:34Speaker 4: training camp. Uh, just to defend Josh Scoby's honor and
- 43:38Speaker 4: not put his name out.
- 43:39Speaker 3: Who'd you fight? We named names on this show, we
- 43:41Speaker 3: named names.
- 43:41Speaker 2: Who'd you fight?
- 43:42Speaker 5: Uh?
- 43:44Speaker 3: Well, I don't think you guys remember him or not.
- 43:46Speaker 3: I don't girl, yea who won? He's doing good?
- 43:50Speaker 4: Uh you know what, man, let's go and call that
- 43:52Speaker 4: a drug. It's a cold tub, A cold tub before
- 43:55Speaker 4: him throw trying to survive.
- 44:00Speaker 5: I hope you were naked, but but yeah, the bottom
- 44:10Speaker 5: line is the kickers are they're their own breed. In fact,
- 44:14Speaker 5: speaking of jahway, when I was in Green Bay, McManus
- 44:17Speaker 5: was there and somebody had told me that the day
- 44:23Speaker 5: before I got there, the guys in the media were in.
- 44:26Speaker 2: The locker room talking about how in the old days.
- 44:30Speaker 5: Somebody would let him in, or you know, he was
- 44:31Speaker 5: staying in the locker room too long, or somebody they
- 44:33Speaker 5: weren't talk about the packers, and he started screaming, all right,
- 44:36Speaker 5: you guys, get out of here, now, get out of here. Now,
- 44:39Speaker 5: we've got enough of you, like in a typical kicker manner.
- 44:43Speaker 2: And I said, you should have turned to him and said,
- 44:45Speaker 2: you're a kicker, crappy you think.
- 44:50Speaker 5: And then he came over, and I happened to be
- 44:52Speaker 5: leaning on the ball you know where they put the
- 44:54Speaker 5: balls for the kickers come over, and he comes over
- 44:57Speaker 5: and he just has this kicker jackass mentality about them.
- 45:02Speaker 3: You know, it's a good description.
- 45:04Speaker 5: And I'm gonna sit there thinking, your only job in
- 45:07Speaker 5: life is to make your damn kicks, and it just
- 45:10Speaker 5: quit acting like you're somebody special.
- 45:12Speaker 2: Now, if I'm not mistaken.
- 45:14Speaker 5: He had a little reputation to of being kind of
- 45:16Speaker 5: a pain in the ass when he was Jacksonville too, right.
- 45:18Speaker 3: But remember he got in trouble too later after the fact. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but.
- 45:24Speaker 2: You know, so look, some Scoffy's a good dude. I've
- 45:27Speaker 2: know Scooby long Scobe's a good dude. He's one of
- 45:28Speaker 2: the good, good guy kickers. My Collins was a good
- 45:31Speaker 2: dude too, didn't it.
- 45:32Speaker 5: But for the most part, kickers have a little bit
- 45:35Speaker 5: of an attitude.
- 45:35Speaker 2: I would say around the NFL.
- 45:38Speaker 3: It is you can't make a seventy yard kick without
- 45:40Speaker 3: a great operation getting to the kick itself either. So
- 45:43Speaker 3: let's point out Ross Mattisik, who's an All Pro and
- 45:46Speaker 3: Pro Bowl long snapper, not just snapping the ball, run
- 45:50Speaker 3: down the field and make a tackle and force a
- 45:52Speaker 3: fumble if he needs to. A good loving cooks fantastic.
- 45:56Speaker 3: That's why that group, the coaching staff of the special
- 45:58Speaker 3: teams is back, because you think is so organized, the
- 46:01Speaker 3: coverage game's good. They've got great specialists, and that goes
- 46:05Speaker 3: a long way, you know.
- 46:06Speaker 4: I think it's something like these past couple years, you
- 46:07Speaker 4: haven't really appreciated it because you know, they haven't won
- 46:10Speaker 4: a lot of games, right, But when it comes down
- 46:12Speaker 4: to you know, whether you're the punch your logan Cook
- 46:14Speaker 4: pinning the ball with in the ten yard line when
- 46:16Speaker 4: the game's on the line, or you're kicking that game
- 46:18Speaker 4: winning field goal, then people remember it, right And hopefully
- 46:20Speaker 4: this year when we're talking about close games. The Jaguars
- 46:23Speaker 4: can win some of those, and we're celebrating the special
- 46:25Speaker 4: teams a little more because it is rare to have
- 46:27Speaker 4: I think a puncher like Logan Cook who is so elite,
- 46:30Speaker 4: and then you have a guy now with you know this,
- 46:33Speaker 4: this kicker kicking seventy yards. I mean, he's well on
- 46:35Speaker 4: his way to being elite as well, So hopefully they
- 46:37Speaker 4: can keep that going.
- 46:38Speaker 5: What about the returner though, that's that's you know, where's
- 46:41Speaker 5: your where's your returner?
- 46:42Speaker 3: Parker Washington?
- 46:44Speaker 5: Yeah, but I mean and he did a good job
- 46:46Speaker 5: last year too, So if he ends up being better
- 46:48Speaker 5: even than he was a year ago, then you have
- 46:50Speaker 5: all of them.
- 46:51Speaker 2: You have all you know, because I think they're they're
- 46:54Speaker 2: covered units.
- 46:54Speaker 5: You saw the Lane kids going to be a hell
- 46:56Speaker 5: of a player on special teams.
- 46:58Speaker 2: That's why they drafted him. So the special team should
- 47:02Speaker 2: be fine. You need.
- 47:02Speaker 5: I don't think you'll be worried about the special teams,
- 47:05Speaker 5: but if the special teams is your best unit.
- 47:10Speaker 3: It is an issue. Let's come back in a moment.
- 47:13Speaker 3: Our two of the program is next Fanatics, Fan Questions
- 47:16Speaker 3: and more. It is Jaguars Happy Hour, presented by Jet Home.
- 47:20Speaker 7: Loans Alignment assignment, getting our cleats in the ground when
- 47:33Speaker 7: we have a call on both sides of the ball,
- 47:37Speaker 7: you know, uh fundamentals. We did a forty play alignment
- 47:42Speaker 7: assignment period of just getting the call, getting our cleats
- 47:46Speaker 7: in the ground, making loud guttural communication, getting the calls
- 47:51Speaker 7: in quickly. That was what we were really kind of
- 47:55Speaker 7: focusing on from an emphasis standpoint.
- 47:57Speaker 3: Obviously, some of.
- 47:58Speaker 7: These guys are gonna be a little bit soler that
- 47:59Speaker 7: played a lot snaps in the game, so we were
- 48:02Speaker 7: trying to really hone in on the mind. Got conditioning
- 48:06Speaker 7: out of it kind of as well. So that was
- 48:09Speaker 7: kind of the thought of today.
- 48:11Speaker 3: That's head coach Liam Cohen, this afternoon or this morning
- 48:14Speaker 3: after the morning practice, Welcome back. It's the second hour
- 48:17Speaker 3: of Jaguars Happy Hour on Monday, presented by Mister Chubby's Wings.
- 48:21Speaker 3: Before the game, after the game, and during the game, JP, Shadrick,
- 48:26Speaker 3: Pete Prisco, Austin Lane and the Jaguars dropped the first
- 48:30Speaker 3: preseason game thirty one to twenty five to the Steelers.
- 48:33Speaker 3: Jaguars offense got one drive. The defense also had one drive.
- 48:37Speaker 3: Travis Hunter, who haven't even really talked about yet. A
- 48:39Speaker 3: lot had eighteen snaps, ten on offense, eight on defense.
- 48:42Speaker 3: Cam Little hit a seventy yard field goal with room
- 48:45Speaker 3: to spare at the end of the first half. The
- 48:47Speaker 3: Jags do have work to get done this week, getting
- 48:50Speaker 3: ready for preseason Week two against the Saints that's coming
- 48:53Speaker 3: up Sunday at Super Dome, and the Jags are planning
- 48:56Speaker 3: on having a scrimmage type feel on Thursday on the
- 48:59Speaker 3: practice field. And we got to first look at the
- 49:02Speaker 3: coaching staff, operation and everything in game for the first
- 49:05Speaker 3: time and it just felt like there guys that just
- 49:08Speaker 3: hearing Liam Cohen today, now we haven't been around him enough,
- 49:11Speaker 3: I guess a little bit to really dig into his
- 49:15Speaker 3: psyche of what he's feeling in his tone. But he
- 49:18Speaker 3: felt a little perturbed. I would say it's probably a
- 49:22Speaker 3: good word, Pete, coming out of that game with the
- 49:24Speaker 3: way they were missing some things alignment assignment, cleats in
- 49:28Speaker 3: the ground, can guttural communication or things. Those are the basics.
- 49:33Speaker 3: It felt a little perturbed to me. What do you think?
- 49:36Speaker 2: Yeah, and rightfully saw you should have been. I mean again,
- 49:39Speaker 2: I watched the All twenty two.
- 49:40Speaker 5: Today and I can't tell you how many ties, particularly defense,
- 49:43Speaker 5: you see guys spinning around, pointing around, looking around.
- 49:46Speaker 2: And there were mistakes on the offense. And I like
- 49:49Speaker 2: the fact that.
- 49:49Speaker 5: He took accountability for the throat of Brian Thomas play call.
- 49:54Speaker 3: Yeah, I could have called him out a play.
- 49:56Speaker 5: And you know what, when I was watching that play,
- 49:58Speaker 5: I said to myself, I said, there's no other option
- 50:01Speaker 5: there for him to throw the football. It's play action,
- 50:05Speaker 5: turn around and throw to him. You got to get
- 50:08Speaker 5: that safety to hold a little bit. He doesn't even
- 50:11Speaker 5: there's a guy out there, but he's not really running
- 50:13Speaker 5: around that will threat in the safety. So there's no
- 50:15Speaker 5: real threat for the safety. So this safety makes a
- 50:18Speaker 5: bee line right there. I mean, should Brian Thomas have
- 50:20Speaker 5: caught the ball, probably, And I guess he's dropped some
- 50:24Speaker 5: in training camp too, which is concerning. But but again,
- 50:28Speaker 5: the design of the play wasn't very good. You gotta
- 50:32Speaker 5: you know, if they had run they were I think
- 50:34Speaker 5: they were single high safety and they run, you know,
- 50:36Speaker 5: a couple of verticals up the field and make that
- 50:39Speaker 5: safety pick one, you're gonna get.
- 50:40Speaker 2: Through the other one.
- 50:41Speaker 5: So it's just I liked he the fact that he
- 50:43Speaker 5: took accountability on that play because he kind of.
- 50:47Speaker 2: He had no choice.
- 50:48Speaker 5: That's the throw on that play, that's the throw, and
- 50:51Speaker 5: he made a good throw.
- 50:52Speaker 2: He just has to catch it, and he got blasted
- 50:54Speaker 2: on him.
- 50:54Speaker 5: But I think today was a bad day for the
- 50:57Speaker 5: for the team in terms of ugly from what happened
- 51:00Speaker 5: the other day.
- 51:01Speaker 2: Kind of fix it and try and fix it.
- 51:03Speaker 4: Ye couldn't that throw by Trevor Lawrence still be a
- 51:05Speaker 4: little better, Maybe be a little lower to protect his
- 51:07Speaker 4: wide receiver a little more, because I almost felt like,
- 51:10Speaker 4: you know, Brian Thomas Tree had extend himself and it
- 51:12Speaker 4: left him a little more open to take that big shot.
- 51:15Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe just a little bit better. But again, I
- 51:19Speaker 5: think if he peaks to the right when he opens,
- 51:22Speaker 5: you know, once he does that play fake, he turns
- 51:24Speaker 5: back around. If he just peaks for a second to
- 51:25Speaker 5: the right and comes back, he holds that safety for
- 51:28Speaker 5: a second because there is a guy out there, but
- 51:30Speaker 5: he doesn't really threaten nobody. Still, if you look that way,
- 51:32Speaker 5: you might hold him. That guy made a bee line
- 51:35Speaker 5: right as soon as he turned around. He made a
- 51:37Speaker 5: bee line for him. So, yeah, there was a bunch
- 51:39Speaker 5: of things that play there. The throw wasn't perfect, probably
- 51:42Speaker 5: should have been caught still, but no matter what happens,
- 51:45Speaker 5: he was getting hit.
- 51:46Speaker 2: I don't care if he put the if he put
- 51:47Speaker 2: it right right where it's supposed to be, he's going
- 51:50Speaker 2: to get hit.
- 51:51Speaker 3: Pete. To your point about BTJ and practice, it does
- 51:54Speaker 3: feel like that a little bit to me also, And
- 51:56Speaker 3: some of the practices there's the ball in the ground
- 51:58Speaker 3: a lot. Sometimes he's a couple of days, but so far,
- 52:03Speaker 3: when the lights have turned on, he's proven that he
- 52:07Speaker 3: can turn into a productive, worry about it, solid player? Right,
- 52:11Speaker 3: So how concern? You're not? None? Zero?
- 52:14Speaker 5: But like the day I was there, I remember I
- 52:15Speaker 5: talked to a couple of coaches and they were talking
- 52:18Speaker 5: about how they had been winning fifty to fifty.
- 52:20Speaker 2: Balls on offense.
- 52:21Speaker 3: And it's fair that's.
- 52:23Speaker 2: That's a concern.
- 52:24Speaker 5: So yeah, there's concern, But for him, what's the lights
- 52:28Speaker 5: go on?
- 52:29Speaker 2: Not worried about it at all.
- 52:30Speaker 3: Well, maybe it's because the defensive backs are improved this year, Austin,
- 52:35Speaker 3: So you look at it from the defensive perspective.
- 52:37Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, listen, that could be the case, but
- 52:39Speaker 4: now the defensive backs, I think it's a giant question
- 52:41Speaker 4: Mark as well, because Tyson Campbell maybe out for a
- 52:44Speaker 4: little bit. We're not sure the extent of the injury,
- 52:46Speaker 4: because once again, we're in the preseason mode, right, so
- 52:50Speaker 4: let's keep things under wraps a little bit to the
- 52:51Speaker 4: regular season to find out what's going on there. And
- 52:54Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest, you know, with that preseason game
- 52:57Speaker 4: against the Steelers, I came away thinking, Travis Hunter is
- 53:00Speaker 4: your best cornerback. He's your best cornerback that you have
- 53:04Speaker 4: right now. And I get it wasn't a flawless performance,
- 53:06Speaker 4: right He had that mistackle, maybe one of those you know,
- 53:09Speaker 4: welcome to the NFL rookie kind of plays.
- 53:11Speaker 3: But but there's somebody who's behind him to clean it up.
- 53:13Speaker 3: It doesn't break the corner.
- 53:14Speaker 2: Well, he was you know what I here right though,
- 53:16Speaker 2: But you know what I loved about it. He got
- 53:18Speaker 2: up and he was he banged his helmet, he was
- 53:20Speaker 2: mad at himself for missing that tack.
- 53:21Speaker 5: Yeah, but but he is their best corner So go aheady, No,
- 53:26Speaker 5: I was.
- 53:27Speaker 2: Gonna say, you're You're right.
- 53:28Speaker 5: Campbell has had a great From everything I've heard, he
- 53:30Speaker 5: has been outstanding in training camp.
- 53:32Speaker 2: They were raving about him. He wasn't very good the
- 53:34Speaker 2: other night though, Yeah, and he wasn't great that night.
- 53:38Speaker 3: You know, it's been really good in camp though, too.
- 53:39Speaker 3: Is Jordan Lewis.
- 53:40Speaker 4: He has been Yeah, And Jordan Lewis is kind of
- 53:42Speaker 4: but you know he's he's playing that spot, he's playing
- 53:44Speaker 4: that nickel, right, So and then you have Jerryon Jones
- 53:47Speaker 4: the other side, who was playing nickel last year and
- 53:50Speaker 4: now is I mean he's played cornerback before obviously, right,
- 53:53Speaker 4: but like he's he's asking to do something different this year. So,
- 53:56Speaker 4: I mean, if these are the conversations that we're having,
- 53:58Speaker 4: and we're not sure how long Tyson can AM's going
- 54:00Speaker 4: to be out for.
- 54:00Speaker 3: Hopefully it's a couple of weeks, but we.
- 54:02Speaker 4: Don't know right now, and he's had a history absolutely
- 54:05Speaker 4: of injuries. I mean, I understand that the m O
- 54:09Speaker 4: right now is to get Travis Hunter all the reps
- 54:11Speaker 4: on offense and then work him in in the defense.
- 54:14Speaker 4: But if I'm coach camp right now, I'm thinking, well,
- 54:16Speaker 4: you guys got Park of Washington over there. He looked
- 54:18Speaker 4: pretty good. He's having a great training camp. Can we
- 54:21Speaker 4: get Travis Hunter a little more on defense please? Because
- 54:23Speaker 4: he's the best one that we have right now at corner.
- 54:25Speaker 5: See, I think Travis Hunter is going to play every
- 54:27Speaker 5: snap on corner. I think that's their plan, and no
- 54:29Speaker 5: matter what, that's their plan.
- 54:33Speaker 2: I didn't believe that at first.
- 54:35Speaker 5: I thought, but they were trying to get him up
- 54:37Speaker 5: to speed on offense because it's harder to learn how
- 54:38Speaker 5: to play the offense. And then he's going to be
- 54:42Speaker 5: the starting corner. I think their ideal scenario would be Campbell,
- 54:45Speaker 5: Hunter and Lewis as their starting corners, and then he'll
- 54:52Speaker 5: spot him in for forty snaps or whatever on offense
- 54:55Speaker 5: or thirty whatever it is on offense, because they're a
- 54:58Speaker 5: better offense when he's on offense too, And so that's ideally.
- 55:02Speaker 2: But you're right, he's their best. He's he has the
- 55:04Speaker 2: chance to be an elite cover corner in the NFL.
- 55:08Speaker 5: Ball skills are amazing, and so you need that more
- 55:12Speaker 5: than you need a wide receiver.
- 55:13Speaker 2: You mentioned Parker Washington.
- 55:14Speaker 5: So I think he plays every snap on defense and
- 55:18Speaker 5: forty snaps thirty to forty snaps on offense.
- 55:21Speaker 2: That's what I think.
- 55:22Speaker 3: Do you think that's adjusted over time? Peter has that
- 55:24Speaker 3: kind of been the plan for them all along, they
- 55:26Speaker 3: just kind of kept it under wraps.
- 55:28Speaker 2: I think that was the plan all along.
- 55:29Speaker 5: I think I think you play him on offense to
- 55:32Speaker 5: learn the offense and get comfortable with the offense because
- 55:35Speaker 5: it's harder to do. I mean, Austin is a defensive guy.
- 55:37Speaker 5: I didn't want to hear that, but that's the reality.
- 55:39Speaker 3: Of it, right, Yeah, you're breaking any news man defense.
- 55:45Speaker 3: It's cool. It was like this, hey, But to.
- 55:48Speaker 4: Be fair, though, I had a higher Wonderlic score than
- 55:52Speaker 4: We're all good. Yeah, higher than Tim Tebow. So to
- 55:55Speaker 4: take that for how you won, well.
- 55:58Speaker 5: So did that stay over here in the corner that's
- 56:02Speaker 5: moving That had a higher score too.
- 56:05Speaker 2: My trash can over here?
- 56:07Speaker 4: And twenty two, Pete, you hit on twenty to Okay, okay,
- 56:12Speaker 4: I got you.
- 56:13Speaker 2: I got what was t Bo's.
- 56:14Speaker 3: I think you got a twenty one. I think you
- 56:16Speaker 3: had twenty one.
- 56:17Speaker 2: But when you get like twenty for signing your name.
- 56:20Speaker 4: Something like that school name, you know, that's a that's
- 56:23Speaker 4: a quick ten, you know what I'm saying, A quick
- 56:25Speaker 4: ten name and stuff.
- 56:26Speaker 5: But but yeah, I think I think he's going to
- 56:29Speaker 5: be a cornerback and a good one.
- 56:33Speaker 2: And I think if Campbell could play like he's played
- 56:36Speaker 2: in training.
- 56:37Speaker 3: Can't be.
- 56:37Speaker 2: Let's take the contract out.
- 56:38Speaker 5: Of the equation, okay, because that's they gave him way
- 56:41Speaker 5: too much money.
- 56:42Speaker 2: Take the contract out of the equation.
- 56:45Speaker 5: He could be a good corner, Lewis could be a
- 56:47Speaker 5: good nickel, and Hunter could be a great corner.
- 56:49Speaker 2: So that's good. You're good there.
- 56:50Speaker 5: But with now, if he's not there now, it becomes
- 56:53Speaker 5: an issue if he's not there for a while, because
- 56:56Speaker 5: who starts there Jerry and Jones.
- 56:58Speaker 4: Yeah, no, with you, but to play, you know, like
- 57:01Speaker 4: the other side of this whole thing. Liam Cohen was
- 57:04Speaker 4: brought here for a reason, and it was to help
- 57:06Speaker 4: out Trevor Lawrence. So do you mean to tell me
- 57:09Speaker 4: that Liam Cohen is gonna be like, yeah, let's go
- 57:12Speaker 4: have our second pick overall, Let's go have him play
- 57:14Speaker 4: defense and let's go sprinkle on an offense every once
- 57:16Speaker 4: in a while.
- 57:17Speaker 3: Or is Liam.
- 57:19Speaker 2: Like all the plays all the players.
- 57:20Speaker 5: It's I think that's crazy. If that sounds I think
- 57:23Speaker 5: he is. That's the they want to sure.
- 57:25Speaker 2: I mean, you know, and going around the league and
- 57:27Speaker 2: talking to players.
- 57:28Speaker 5: When I talked to him about it, they all say
- 57:30Speaker 5: it's not the endurance is unreal, they say, as the
- 57:33Speaker 5: endurance of a marathon runner.
- 57:35Speaker 2: You know, Like I said, the day I was.
- 57:36Speaker 5: There, it was one hundred and one and I actually
- 57:39Speaker 5: sat down and interviewed him and he wasn't even breathing hard.
- 57:42Speaker 2: He had practiced on both sides.
- 57:44Speaker 5: He had done you know, the stuff door and special
- 57:46Speaker 5: teams when he was usually standing around doing stuff on defense.
- 57:49Speaker 2: And I go, hot enough for you, he goes at
- 57:50Speaker 2: one bad. I'm like, you kidding me.
- 57:53Speaker 5: I love the heat, but it was hot that day,
- 57:55Speaker 5: so I think he can do it.
- 57:57Speaker 2: But the question players asked me.
- 57:59Speaker 5: And you know this and being a play well his
- 58:00Speaker 5: body hold up not from an endurance standpoint, but from
- 58:04Speaker 5: a physical standpoint.
- 58:07Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, listen, it's it's hard to fathom because
- 58:10Speaker 4: we always talk about that wall that you know that
- 58:12Speaker 4: the first year guys hit the rookie wall, because you
- 58:15Speaker 4: essentially go from playing the college game, then you play
- 58:17Speaker 4: in a senior Bowl or whatever. Then you prep yourself
- 58:19Speaker 4: with the combine, you prep yourself for your pro days.
- 58:22Speaker 4: You don't have a lot of time to just rest
- 58:24Speaker 4: and acclimate and get ready for the football season.
- 58:26Speaker 3: It's just you go here.
- 58:27Speaker 4: Then you go here, then you go here, so you
- 58:29Speaker 4: have zero time to rest and to expect a first
- 58:32Speaker 4: year guy, even you know, if he is the athletic
- 58:35Speaker 4: freak that Travis Hunter is, to come in here and go, okay,
- 58:38Speaker 4: you know you did you step in Colorado? You know,
- 58:39Speaker 4: you get rid for the PROTA and everything, you haven't
- 58:41Speaker 4: stopped training since, and now you go play both sides
- 58:43Speaker 4: of the football for the whole time.
- 58:46Speaker 3: It's a lot on that. You know that that guy's play.
- 58:48Speaker 4: And I think I would err on the side of
- 58:49Speaker 4: caution more than I would just say, well, okay, man,
- 58:51Speaker 4: let's throw it in the water and see what.
- 58:52Speaker 3: You can do.
- 58:54Speaker 5: You know, if somebody asked me the other day, they said,
- 58:56Speaker 5: what if he plays both sides of the ball for
- 58:59Speaker 5: the next three years or two years, and then he
- 59:03Speaker 5: get the year four and it's time to redo his contract?
- 59:07Speaker 3: Be his agent?
- 59:09Speaker 2: I mean, how do you negotiate that deal?
- 59:12Speaker 5: You know what I said, I said, in year four,
- 59:14Speaker 5: he starts playing one side of the ball.
- 59:17Speaker 2: You know that. You know that's gonna happen.
- 59:20Speaker 5: You know that happens right whatever year is negotiation deal
- 59:24Speaker 5: is he's going to play one side of the ball.
- 59:26Speaker 2: He's not going to play both.
- 59:27Speaker 3: Yeah, you limit the wear and tear. You pick one side,
- 59:31Speaker 3: You pick the one that pays one.
- 59:33Speaker 5: If he's a great place, say he plays every snap
- 59:35Speaker 5: for two years or close to it, and he's an
- 59:39Speaker 5: All Pro corner in year two and he's a sixty
- 59:44Speaker 5: five catch, thousand yard eight touchdown receiver, negotiate that contract.
- 59:53Speaker 5: I mean, because if you're the agent, you're paying him
- 59:55Speaker 5: as a Pro Bowl corner of heighs as high as
- 59:56Speaker 5: you cossibly can.
- 59:57Speaker 2: They're all Pro corner by the way.
- 1:00:00Speaker 5: Let's sprinkle in that he's one of the better young
- 1:00:02Speaker 5: receivers in the league too, and negotiate that deal like
- 1:00:05Speaker 5: guy's gonna make a boatload of money.
- 1:00:09Speaker 4: I mean, you're essentially paying for two players. Like if
- 1:00:11Speaker 4: I'm realistically, if if i'm his agent, and you know,
- 1:00:14Speaker 4: assuming that he has a you know, an all Pro
- 1:00:16Speaker 4: year at corner and he has a decent season at
- 1:00:18Speaker 4: wide receiver, I'm going, Okay, well, let's go and reset
- 1:00:21Speaker 4: the market at uh at cornerback. All right, we got
- 1:00:23Speaker 4: that done, and then let's go ahead and make top
- 1:00:26Speaker 4: you know, eight top five money at wide receiver. Cool
- 1:00:28Speaker 4: sounds gonna add those contracts together and we'll see you guys.
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: Listen. So you're almost in quarterback territory at that point, right, Oh, you.
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: Would be would almost you would be? Yes, you and
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: Dan Court.
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: Fifty five a year, I mean sixty whatever it is
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: at that point. Yeah, and then and then you know,
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: you know, I'm excited for two.
- 1:00:44Speaker 4: I'm excited for the next crop of college kids that
- 1:00:46Speaker 4: are coming out now that are watching Travis Hunter do
- 1:00:48Speaker 4: his thing. Because you want to talk about the transport
- 1:00:51Speaker 4: portal and everything. How many college athletes are gonna go, Oh,
- 1:00:55Speaker 4: if I'm coming to Alabama, you only gotta be playing
- 1:00:57Speaker 4: wide receiver, not corner. Yeah, I'm gonna transfer to some
- 1:00:59Speaker 4: place house where they want me to play both spots.
- 1:01:01Speaker 4: Like that's going to be a trend now too. Just
- 1:01:03Speaker 4: wait and see.
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: The only thing is it's so hard to do. And
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: again you go to you go to the endurance and
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: he did it at altitude. I mean, that's incredile, that's incredible.
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: You played in Denver. How it's hard to I lived
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: there for a year.
- 1:01:16Speaker 5: I remember one time the first time I moved to Denver,
- 1:01:18Speaker 5: I was playing basketball and I started going, I'm like,
- 1:01:21Speaker 5: what is this And it's just and so for him
- 1:01:25Speaker 5: to be able to do that at altitude and now
- 1:01:27Speaker 5: to be able to do it and heat the way he's.
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: Doing it, there's a special kid. But again, his body
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: isn't big.
- 1:01:32Speaker 5: He's not a big kid, and so you worry about
- 1:01:36Speaker 5: body breaking down more than lungs breaking down.
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: Pete, were you good at basketball?
- 1:01:41Speaker 5: Yes, very good as members though that used to work
- 1:01:44Speaker 5: in the in the with the Jaguars, remember Lorenzo.
- 1:01:47Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, works in Miami. Now works for the Dolphins.
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: Him and Ryan Robinson.
- 1:01:51Speaker 5: Remember they had that basket inside the facility there and
- 1:01:54Speaker 5: they Zoe talked a good game, and I go go ahead,
- 1:01:57Speaker 5: we'll go shoot.
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: I shot him. Both out shot shot their lights. Zoe
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: would do that. And by the way, you guys appreciate
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: this since you played with the Boston the other day.
- 1:02:08Speaker 5: When I when I first went on my training camp
- 1:02:10Speaker 5: tour two weeks ago, was at the Dolphins. I was
- 1:02:12Speaker 5: had Tyreek hill on and I looked at him and
- 1:02:15Speaker 5: during the interview, I said, well, you look like.
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: You leaned up a little bit.
- 1:02:17Speaker 5: He goes, Oh yeah, man, he goes, he goes. When
- 1:02:20Speaker 5: I was here for you know, in Kansas City, I
- 1:02:23Speaker 5: was one eighty eight. When I came here, I started
- 1:02:25Speaker 5: feeling like Maurice Jones drew. Maurice is catching strays.
- 1:02:34Speaker 3: Wow.
- 1:02:35Speaker 5: And so then after I was done, I asked him,
- 1:02:37Speaker 5: I said, why did you think you shot at Maurice?
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: He said, when he was a kid. I guess Tyree
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: grew up in Georgia, somewhere close. He was a Jaguars.
- 1:02:44Speaker 5: He followed the Jaguars, and he remembered jumping Maurice Jones Drew.
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: Running the football, and so that's why he took the shot.
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: By the way, Maurice was here for the scrimmage last week,
- 1:02:55Speaker 3: was in town. I saw him in the hallway.
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: I love Maurice's.
- 1:03:00Speaker 5: Maurice is one of those guys that back in the day,
- 1:03:02Speaker 5: he always gave you. When I come into the locker room,
- 1:03:04Speaker 5: he'd always give me crap somehow. Oh, you play the game,
- 1:03:07Speaker 5: you know back when I go and I give him,
- 1:03:09Speaker 5: you know the line I give him.
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: I'm not a five star chef, but I know it
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: tastes good to you know.
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: All right, let's come back. We've got to keep it
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: real when we come because we've been faking it the
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: whole time. I guess. So the first hour. Uh no,
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: no sponsor.
- 1:03:26Speaker 5: But we got all that wine from the other guy
- 1:03:28Speaker 5: a couple of years ago, so we got that calling
- 1:03:29Speaker 5: for him.
- 1:03:30Speaker 3: Didn't Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, Bobby didn't make it.
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: By the way, he's he's years ago. Apparently I didn't
- 1:03:39Speaker 3: realize the guy was dead. I was asking for wine.
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: He's been dead for years.
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: Well, somebody's in family still owns it. So Bobby Junior.
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: Mate Robert Jr. We're back in a moment. We've got
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: to keep it real when we come back. It's Jaguars
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: Happy Hour presented by mister Chubby's Wings. Welcome back. It
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: is Jaguars Happy our first Monday show of the season.
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: JP Shadwick, Pete Prisco, Austin Lane in with us for
- 1:04:11Speaker 3: the twenty twenty five campaign here on Mondays, recapping the
- 1:04:15Speaker 3: Jaguars lost to the Steelers in preseason Week one on
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: ten today XL, Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube. It
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: is time for keeping it Real, presented by Nobody. Jaguars
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: Defensive performance is what we're going with on Saturday night.
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: Steelers quarterbacks listen to these stats. Pete Austin, Mason Rudolph
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: nine of ten eighty four yards and a touchdown. Skyler
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: Thompson twenty of twenty eight two hundred and thirty three
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: yards and three passing touchdowns. How concerned are you with
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: the defense after that performance and moving forward, Austin Aaron Rodgers,
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: better watch out. Let's keep it real right now.
- 1:04:57Speaker 4: No, I mean I'm a little concerned about it because
- 1:05:01Speaker 4: you know, you had your starters out there going against
- 1:05:04Speaker 4: a lot of the twos. Now granted, the Steels offensive
- 1:05:06Speaker 4: line played that opening drive and everything for I think
- 1:05:08Speaker 4: at least a quarter, but you're going against skill guys
- 1:05:11Speaker 4: who are backups, right, and that can't happen. So I
- 1:05:16Speaker 4: get it's one preseason game. We're still learning the defense
- 1:05:19Speaker 4: and everything. But like we talked about to open the
- 1:05:22Speaker 4: show today, we can't You can't have guys looking back confused,
- 1:05:26Speaker 4: not being lined up properly, because that's coaching, Like, that's
- 1:05:29Speaker 4: getting guys prepared to play the game. You know, skill
- 1:05:31Speaker 4: is gonna always win the day, and I get that,
- 1:05:33Speaker 4: but you have to set your guys up for success.
- 1:05:35Speaker 4: And I think there was a lot of guys that
- 1:05:37Speaker 4: were open, you know on Saturday that should have been
- 1:05:40Speaker 4: that wide open.
- 1:05:42Speaker 5: You know, looking at watching the game and seeing Anthony
- 1:05:45Speaker 5: Campanelli's face, I thought somebody it looked like somebody told
- 1:05:48Speaker 5: him that Italian food stinks or something.
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: You know, it's That's what.
- 1:05:52Speaker 5: It looked like to me, because I've actually had a
- 1:05:54Speaker 5: conversation with Anthony about Italian food in Jacksonville. Because he's
- 1:05:58Speaker 5: gotta look look, go around some good ones. I can
- 1:06:01Speaker 5: tell you that.
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: But it's there. You got to look for it. But
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: it was.
- 1:06:06Speaker 5: It was not a good look, and it's supposed to
- 1:06:10Speaker 5: be a new look defense.
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: They didn't show anything again, I have a heart. Let's
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: go back to the touchdown you just showed the Washington.
- 1:06:19Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the big tight end from Jordan.
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: That was they were in his own and it looks
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: like a Loulo con should.
- 1:06:26Speaker 5: Get a little more depth there because there's nobody threatening
- 1:06:28Speaker 5: him underneath, right, that's what it should be. You look
- 1:06:33Speaker 5: at the end zone shot of that. There's no threat
- 1:06:36Speaker 5: for him underneath on that play.
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: Because nobody's running around underneath.
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: Correct, So there is there's nobody there.
- 1:06:43Speaker 5: He's got to get more depth on that to make
- 1:06:45Speaker 5: that a tougher throw and allow Campbell to come over
- 1:06:48Speaker 5: and maybe make a play on it.
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: So yeah, you see what I mean. That's not that's
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: not it. It's he doesn't get enough depth there. I
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: don't think he's kind of frozen for a second. There's
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: no I get it.
- 1:06:58Speaker 5: If there's a threat there, he's got to play it.
- 1:07:00Speaker 5: But there was no threat there.
- 1:07:01Speaker 4: Well, and it's wild too because I still haven't seen
- 1:07:03Speaker 4: the All twenty two yet. I still have to get
- 1:07:05Speaker 4: Pete's password for that one. But you know, when I
- 1:07:08Speaker 4: was looking back, like I couldn't tell if they're in
- 1:07:10Speaker 4: a cover three with the linebackers and a cover four
- 1:07:12Speaker 4: in the back end, Like it looked like they're in
- 1:07:15Speaker 4: a different zone coverages in terms of the safeties and
- 1:07:17Speaker 4: in terms.
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: Of the linebackers, which could be the case some teams
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: do run that.
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: Now that looks like three. That looks like it's covered three.
- 1:07:23Speaker 5: That sample's playing play and he has no threat on him,
- 1:07:27Speaker 5: so he has to come over and make a play
- 1:07:29Speaker 5: on that.
- 1:07:29Speaker 4: Well, yeah, but what the case may be, like you
- 1:07:33Speaker 4: know Hindsight's twenty twenty right, was it the right call
- 1:07:35Speaker 4: right there? Probably not? But once again, if that's gonna
- 1:07:38Speaker 4: be the case, you gotta get pressure, and I get
- 1:07:40Speaker 4: you're not gonna blitz a lot in terms of the preseason,
- 1:07:43Speaker 4: A lot of teams don't. It's more of just the
- 1:07:44Speaker 4: meat and potatoes. But this is where that interior pressure
- 1:07:48Speaker 4: it has to make a difference because the ball's coming
- 1:07:49Speaker 4: out quickly.
- 1:07:51Speaker 5: And some of those touchdowns where against guys that aren't
- 1:07:54Speaker 5: going to be around, you know that, So you gotta
- 1:07:56Speaker 5: put you know, so you got to take those from
- 1:07:58Speaker 5: what they are. But again, it was sloppy. It wasn't
- 1:08:02Speaker 5: it wasn't crisp, it wasn't sloppy. I mean, Josh heinz
- 1:08:06Speaker 5: Allen and Dravon Walker didn't exactly win, you know. So
- 1:08:12Speaker 5: again it's the preseason. There's if you're Josh heinz Allen,
- 1:08:16Speaker 5: what's your motivation in the preseason?
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: Seriously?
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: Stay healthy?
- 1:08:19Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, yeah, right, that's your only motivation, you
- 1:08:23Speaker 5: Travon Walker, your only motivation is to make it out
- 1:08:24Speaker 5: of the preseason, take a few hits, and get to
- 1:08:27Speaker 5: the preseason.
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: Get yourself ready. So I don't read.
- 1:08:30Speaker 5: A lot, and across the board, not just in Jacksonville,
- 1:08:34Speaker 5: but across the board, I don't read. I've been around
- 1:08:36Speaker 5: this thing for so long. I don't read anything into
- 1:08:38Speaker 5: the preseason.
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: Now.
- 1:08:40Speaker 5: So back in the day, if you played a half
- 1:08:42Speaker 5: with the starters versus starters, and you game like preseason,
- 1:08:46Speaker 5: game number three used to almost.
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: Be like a game for a half.
- 1:08:50Speaker 5: You game planned, you did some things, your starters played
- 1:08:54Speaker 5: against their starters, You came out of the halftime because
- 1:08:57Speaker 5: they wanted you to feel what it's like to come
- 1:08:58Speaker 5: out of halftime for And then now it's not close
- 1:09:02Speaker 5: to that. So you can't get any gage in this
- 1:09:05Speaker 5: at all.
- 1:09:05Speaker 3: So then, Pete, what are we talking about here for
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: game two? In game three?
- 1:09:08Speaker 4: I mean, are we satisfied with what we see in
- 1:09:10Speaker 4: a it's the preseason.
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: It's just keep these guys healthy. We don't need to
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: see anymore or do you want to see?
- 1:09:15Speaker 5: You got to play and not be sloppy. Now, whether
- 1:09:19Speaker 5: you dominate or whatever you do, that's a whole different issue.
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: But you can't have guys.
- 1:09:24Speaker 5: It's the same as it was a year ago. Remember JP,
- 1:09:27Speaker 5: all they did was look around. Yeah, I sted coverages
- 1:09:31Speaker 5: and look around and what are they doing?
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: And so I think that has to be better. You
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: have to the mechanism of the game has to be better.
- 1:09:40Speaker 5: The results take it for what it's worth, but the
- 1:09:42Speaker 5: mechanism of the game has to be better this time.
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: And we'll see. You know how the schedule this week
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: affects that too. They're going to have a scrimmage, they're
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: saying on Thursday on the practice.
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: When it's a scrimmage, nobody's tackling anybody. It's shrimmage.
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: Okay, Well maybe they can know where they are in
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: the right place in a scrimmag.
- 1:10:01Speaker 5: So what you're saying is if they have some kind
- 1:10:03Speaker 5: of scrimmage on Thursday, then there's an impact.
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: Who plays on Sunday?
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: Does it impact the reps? And I think that Liam
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: Cohen said that today. Hey, we're gonna wait until after
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: all this stuff happens to really determine that. After Thursday's practice, you.
- 1:10:15Speaker 5: Know, more and more guys played in Week one than
- 1:10:19Speaker 5: have been played in this across the league. If you
- 1:10:22Speaker 5: notice that, Yeah, Kansas City always plays how long.
- 1:10:27Speaker 3: Did How long did Mahomes play? How long did Mahomes?
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: He played a couple series Cincinnati played.
- 1:10:33Speaker 5: They started slowly every year every year they usually don't
- 1:10:36Speaker 5: play them, but they start slowly, So he played them.
- 1:10:38Speaker 5: I just think you guy's got to hit You know
- 1:10:41Speaker 5: that Austin guy's got to hit. If you go through,
- 1:10:44Speaker 5: if you don't play it all in the preseason, that
- 1:10:46Speaker 5: means the first time you actually tackle somebody is in
- 1:10:51Speaker 5: week one from the last time you played a game
- 1:10:53Speaker 5: that mattered.
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: That's a long time not to hit somebody.
- 1:10:56Speaker 3: Tackle somebody, No, without a doubt like that. It's just it.
- 1:11:00Speaker 4: It's a different it's a different mindset when you're in
- 1:11:03Speaker 4: that game, right well, when you I think it's a
- 1:11:05Speaker 4: preseason game, right that the crowd's not at full effect
- 1:11:07Speaker 4: and everything. Maybe the energy from the opposition isn't it
- 1:11:10Speaker 4: to the full effect, but it's still different being.
- 1:11:12Speaker 3: Under those bright lights. And you know, I.
- 1:11:15Speaker 4: Would like to see these guys play a little more.
- 1:11:17Speaker 4: I really went and once again, we'll see how this
- 1:11:18Speaker 4: quote unquote scrimmage goes. I know they have the inner
- 1:11:21Speaker 4: squad whatever practice with the Miami Dolphins.
- 1:11:24Speaker 3: Yes, one day, which is one which is.
- 1:11:26Speaker 4: Crazy that so it's only one day, by the way,
- 1:11:28Speaker 4: because I mean when I played, it was a full week.
- 1:11:31Speaker 3: You know, I had to see these.
- 1:11:32Speaker 4: Guys in Atlanta because there's always Atlanta Falcons, so it
- 1:11:35Speaker 4: was almost like a big time like you know, back.
- 1:11:37Speaker 5: In Miami and Miami Austin went to Chicago to go
- 1:11:41Speaker 5: with the Bears.
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: Listen to their schedule.
- 1:11:43Speaker 5: They went to Chicago, worked out with the Bears on Tuesday,
- 1:11:46Speaker 5: worked out with them on Wednesday, and Thursday, stayed on
- 1:11:50Speaker 5: or wait was it?
- 1:11:50Speaker 4: No?
- 1:11:51Speaker 5: They went on Wednesday, worked out with them on Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
- 1:11:54Speaker 5: had day off, then played on Sunday.
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: Now they go to Detroit. You're go to work out
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: with the Lions for.
- 1:11:59Speaker 5: A day, stay there and play the preseason game on Saturday,
- 1:12:02Speaker 5: and then fly home and they're gonna work out with
- 1:12:03Speaker 5: the Jaguars.
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: So they call it the team bonding thing or whatever.
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: But still that's.
- 1:12:08Speaker 4: There's like a team like tuggle war. There's gonna be
- 1:12:11Speaker 4: like charades. I'm sure they'll be.
- 1:12:12Speaker 3: Playing kind of potato Potato sack race.
- 1:12:17Speaker 5: Stunk a year ago, and your coach let the guys
- 1:12:19Speaker 5: get out of control.
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: He has to try and rein him in. That's exactly
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: what that is.
- 1:12:23Speaker 3: Can he do it down there? By the way, So
- 1:12:25Speaker 3: you can't. You can't.
- 1:12:26Speaker 5: It's like if you I don't have kids, but I
- 1:12:27Speaker 5: understand if you have kids, once you if you try
- 1:12:30Speaker 5: and discipline them after they run wild for four years,
- 1:12:33Speaker 5: you can't do it.
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: It's just not happening.
- 1:12:35Speaker 4: Oh yeah, So I started think that one because I
- 1:12:38Speaker 4: have a ten year old. We start out one years old.
- 1:12:40Speaker 4: Oh he's crying, Hey, let's go ahead, and goes down
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: and you know, go in the corner. There's time out
- 1:12:44Speaker 4: a little bit one year old, not really obviously, so.
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: I was choking. Man, service could be listening to this.
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. Put him in the corner at his
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: bast yea with a dunce cap on. Yeah great, and
- 1:12:59Speaker 3: you know you.
- 1:13:00Speaker 5: Can't even remember it.
- 1:13:02Speaker 4: But but I guarantee, like and I myself to blame
- 1:13:05Speaker 4: for this, that the first I've never I should say this.
- 1:13:08Speaker 4: I've done it one time where I've actually cussed in
- 1:13:10Speaker 4: front of my son and he was probably five or
- 1:13:12Speaker 4: six years old, and I dropped it. It was an
- 1:13:14Speaker 4: f bomb. It was a giant one. But I was
- 1:13:17Speaker 4: watching Blake Bortles throw his second pick six of the game,
- 1:13:20Speaker 4: and I just I let one, going, what what the
- 1:13:22Speaker 4: bleep are you doing? And then I had my wife
- 1:13:25Speaker 4: at the time go, what do you what do you
- 1:13:26Speaker 4: what are you saying? Like it's not my fault, it's
- 1:13:28Speaker 4: the second pick six, Like this is justified, Like anybody
- 1:13:31Speaker 4: would would say this and play Blake. Yeah, so as
- 1:13:35Speaker 4: soon as he's in school by Lake, first day of school,
- 1:13:37Speaker 4: fifth grade, as soon as that first you know that
- 1:13:39Speaker 4: curse word comes out, I'm blaming Blake bort I'm gonna
- 1:13:41Speaker 4: call it Blake Bortles and say you need to go
- 1:13:43Speaker 4: talk to this teacher man because I'm not taking you know,
- 1:13:45Speaker 4: the bullet for this one.
- 1:13:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: I just the thing about a cursing. You gotta be
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: careful around kids because they'll pick it up.
- 1:13:52Speaker 3: And run with him sponges.
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: Where did you hear that? My dad?
- 1:13:55Speaker 3: My dad?
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: But back to the jedguars, I think they need to
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: play too. I think this is a young team. They
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: need to play.
- 1:14:04Speaker 5: You can't be worried about injuries. You just can't play
- 1:14:07Speaker 5: football that way. Well, I mean, don't you think they'll
- 1:14:11Speaker 5: play this week?
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: I hope so. But they gotta play a little right.
- 1:14:15Speaker 3: Here's what I would say. And I'm not sure if
- 1:14:17Speaker 3: this works in locker rooms.
- 1:14:18Speaker 4: And I feel like this was happening with the Bengals
- 1:14:20Speaker 4: because if any quarterback didn't have to play in the preseason,
- 1:14:23Speaker 4: I feel like it's Joe Burrow. But I feel like
- 1:14:25Speaker 4: Zach Taylor asked Joe Burrow, Hey, how are you feeling
- 1:14:28Speaker 4: you want to get some reps in I think Joe
- 1:14:29Speaker 4: Burrow said, yeah, you know, let's shake some of the
- 1:14:31Speaker 4: rust off, give me a couple of series here, and
- 1:14:33Speaker 4: let's go from there. I hope there's some consultation with
- 1:14:36Speaker 4: you know, some of the leaders of this team to
- 1:14:38Speaker 4: be like, how are you guys feeling where you guys at?
- 1:14:40Speaker 4: And I hope it's truthful and being hey, I think
- 1:14:42Speaker 4: we need a little more to kind of showcase what
- 1:14:44Speaker 4: we can do.
- 1:14:45Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they need it, and I think they
- 1:14:47Speaker 5: should play and then you don't play them in the
- 1:14:49Speaker 5: final preseason game.
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I would do, easy enough.
- 1:14:52Speaker 5: Then you play, then you play all you play the
- 1:14:54Speaker 5: guys that are going to be on stock market and
- 1:14:57Speaker 5: not working in wall streets.
- 1:14:58Speaker 4: Well, especially with but because Mammy's coming to town too, right,
- 1:15:02Speaker 4: So you're gonna go to Miami, but you're gonna have
- 1:15:04Speaker 4: that one practice.
- 1:15:05Speaker 3: There, right. So in theory, if if they weren't.
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: Practice will be a lot you get more. Veterans get more.
- 1:15:12Speaker 5: Out of those practices than they do at a preseason
- 1:15:14Speaker 5: game because they get more reps.
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: Like I've talked to many a quarterback.
- 1:15:16Speaker 5: I remember Philip Rivers telling me, look, I go work
- 1:15:19Speaker 5: out with the team I'm getting. You know all these
- 1:15:21Speaker 5: plays that I don't get preseason games is only played
- 1:15:24Speaker 5: like five or you know, ten plays or something at
- 1:15:26Speaker 5: the most, so it's much more valuable. So you're right,
- 1:15:29Speaker 5: I doubt they'll play week in the final week, so
- 1:15:31Speaker 5: you got to play them in this one.
- 1:15:33Speaker 3: Pri Productions, the Southeast full service event company, has everything
- 1:15:37Speaker 3: you need to bring your next idea to life. Is
- 1:15:39Speaker 3: a pr Productions dot Com and learn more. That's it
- 1:15:42Speaker 3: for Keeping it Real, presented by Nobody. It's available Back
- 1:15:49Speaker 3: in a Moment, We've got fanatics, fan questions. It's Pete's
- 1:15:54Speaker 3: favorite segment. Love it.
- 1:15:57Speaker 4: Are these gonna be fight related to because I'm not
- 1:15:59Speaker 4: paying anybody bet If they've lost a bet on me,
- 1:16:01Speaker 4: that's not my problem.
- 1:16:02Speaker 3: That's a good idea. Actually, we might have to start
- 1:16:05Speaker 3: doing fight questions for Austin. If I lost you guys
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: any money, I apologize. Back in the moment, it is
- 1:16:11Speaker 3: Jaguars Happy Hour presented by mister Chubby's Wings. You know
- 1:16:20Speaker 3: it's it is intentional. When we have so many playmakers,
- 1:16:22Speaker 3: you want to get.
- 1:16:22Speaker 9: Them all involved and early and let guys get the
- 1:16:26Speaker 9: rock and do something with us.
- 1:16:27Speaker 3: So I think that is intentional for sure.
- 1:16:28Speaker 9: And then there's times where the ball just kind of
- 1:16:30Speaker 9: finds finds guys more than others. I think in games
- 1:16:33Speaker 9: like this, obviously you want to see you want to
- 1:16:35Speaker 9: spread the ball around, You want to get guys touches,
- 1:16:37Speaker 9: get them going, you kind of see what see what
- 1:16:39Speaker 9: we can do.
- 1:16:41Speaker 3: But I thought the guy's a nice job.
- 1:16:42Speaker 9: Obviously we had the one drive, so it's hard to
- 1:16:44Speaker 9: really evaluate beyond that. But yeah, I thought the guys
- 1:16:47Speaker 9: did a goo job when their number was called.
- 1:16:49Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars quarterback, after the game in the locker room,
- 1:16:53Speaker 3: welcome back. It is Jaguars Happy Hour, our second Hour,
- 1:16:55Speaker 3: presented by mister Chubby's Wings. By the way, they brought
- 1:16:58Speaker 3: Chubby style wings, chicken palm sandwiches, and pretzel bites with cheese.
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: Austin, you train all the time, so do you eat
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: anything like that ever?
- 1:17:10Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, man, I can have a cheat me
- 1:17:12Speaker 4: every once in a while, you know, I can have
- 1:17:14Speaker 4: a little affair meal if I want to.
- 1:17:16Speaker 3: I mean, I want to have some today.
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: I think so delicious training.
- 1:17:19Speaker 5: If you weren't training, would you be you would be
- 1:17:22Speaker 5: eating it though, No matter what, right.
- 1:17:24Speaker 4: I mean, Pete, The way I look at it is,
- 1:17:25Speaker 4: if I'm training hard enough, I can eat whatever I want, right,
- 1:17:27Speaker 4: So I'll just burn the calories in the gym.
- 1:17:30Speaker 3: I feel the same way. There we go, man, That's
- 1:17:31Speaker 3: what I do. That's what you got to do.
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: You're trading the fight. You're trading the.
- 1:17:35Speaker 3: Fight all No, No, I'm not fighting battle.
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: Get a beaten.
- 1:17:43Speaker 3: I'm battling myself, Pete.
- 1:17:45Speaker 5: Okay, it's always a battle, Jap.
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: It's always about it.
- 1:17:50Speaker 4: I mean, am I allowed to have some of that?
- 1:17:52Speaker 4: I'm not like, Okay, well, I'm kind of like a prelancer.
- 1:17:55Speaker 4: I feel like I don't know if I'm allowed to
- 1:17:56Speaker 4: have that or not. The show about a collared shirt too,
- 1:18:01Speaker 4: the second collared shirt that I've worn in like the
- 1:18:02Speaker 4: past couple of days.
- 1:18:03Speaker 3: You're already trying to cut players. You can go eat
- 1:18:05Speaker 3: whatever the hell you want.
- 1:18:08Speaker 5: No, But I do like the fact that when JP
- 1:18:10Speaker 5: opens the show and he talks about Austin Lane being
- 1:18:12Speaker 5: here for twenty and twenty five, are you saying he
- 1:18:15Speaker 5: might not be back in twenty and twenty six and
- 1:18:17Speaker 5: then we're not.
- 1:18:18Speaker 3: Even done VP Junior Man Pete by EVP Pete. We're
- 1:18:22Speaker 3: all day to day Tony, what's okay? Come on, Pete, we.
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: Are but we're day to day in life till again day.
- 1:18:28Speaker 5: But but but the way you say that, I'm like, Okay,
- 1:18:32Speaker 5: he's here for twenty twenty.
- 1:18:35Speaker 3: I was not involved in you even.
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: Said you haven't even a half hour in and he's saying.
- 1:18:39Speaker 4: Hey, man, it is Hey, maybe he's got some high
- 1:18:42Speaker 4: hopes for me.
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: I'm not sure I have high hopes for you. I
- 1:18:44Speaker 3: have high hosts. I like it for here.
- 1:18:46Speaker 4: Now I know the other people in town that man,
- 1:18:48Speaker 4: I like to hear that you say, you know that
- 1:18:50Speaker 4: the high hopes thing, because I have other engagements as well.
- 1:18:54Speaker 3: Who I can't. I don't think we're Are you allowed
- 1:18:56Speaker 3: to say it or not? Your your brother John's Trent? Yeah,
- 1:19:00Speaker 3: rhymes of trouble with a different first letter. And I
- 1:19:02Speaker 3: don't mean Balky.
- 1:19:05Speaker 2: Oh wait, who's who's Trent? Balky? We don't know him?
- 1:19:13Speaker 3: Make it noted. The first person to say that name
- 1:19:15Speaker 3: on the show was Austin that it was going to
- 1:19:20Speaker 3: go there.
- 1:19:21Speaker 4: I don't get an email, man, I don't know's you
- 1:19:24Speaker 4: can say.
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: You can say whatever you want to say.
- 1:19:26Speaker 5: I blistered him last year so bad, well, last year,
- 1:19:30Speaker 5: the year before the year before before that.
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: So uh, look, you got questions, don't you.
- 1:19:37Speaker 3: Oh yeah, let's get to him now, Pete you ready,
- 1:19:39Speaker 3: it's uh Fanatics fan questions and Jags fans gear up

- 1:19:56Speaker 3: Here's the best we've come up with tonight at Samuel
- 1:19:59Speaker 3: du Well, Are you worried Hunter didn't look his dynamic
- 1:20:02Speaker 3: out there as he did in college? I worry his
- 1:20:03Speaker 3: athleticism won't translate to the NFL.
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: Do you think it's all stupidity, stupidity stupidity?
- 1:20:10Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think on offense, what people expected
- 1:20:12Speaker 4: him to be like the next Tyreek kill in preseason
- 1:20:14Speaker 4: game number one and break every single tackle like, yeah,
- 1:20:16Speaker 4: it's the NFL, right, You're gonna have to learn how
- 1:20:18Speaker 4: to navigate, how to wiggle and everything. But I thought
- 1:20:20Speaker 4: on defense he looked fine, and on offense he'll learn
- 1:20:22Speaker 4: as he goes.
- 1:20:23Speaker 3: And Fred made a good point.
- 1:20:24Speaker 5: Say this, that little short pass that he caught, if
- 1:20:28Speaker 5: he hadn't slipped, he was popping out the side to
- 1:20:30Speaker 5: get the big play down the sideline.
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: So it's it's there.
- 1:20:33Speaker 3: And that was my point quick Fred Taylor was with
- 1:20:36Speaker 3: Fred the other night and he said, you know what,
- 1:20:38Speaker 3: maybe that's a cleat issue. There was no He did
- 1:20:40Speaker 3: it a couple of times, actually fell out of his cleat,
- 1:20:42Speaker 3: so maybe that's an adjustment to be made moving ahead.
- 1:20:45Speaker 3: Most athletics played for him was the jump when he
- 1:20:48Speaker 3: hit the kicker after the field goal. It was like,
- 1:20:50Speaker 3: could have heard of that?
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: Man, It's unbelievable.
- 1:20:52Speaker 5: But if again, when you watch the twenty two, if
- 1:20:55Speaker 5: he pops out there, he's down the sideline for a
- 1:20:58Speaker 5: huge play, maybe even score.
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: So it's it's it's common. It'll be fine. It'll be fine.
- 1:21:02Speaker 3: Next question, at no a way, how much improvement can
- 1:21:05Speaker 3: we expect in terms of physicality of play. I saw
- 1:21:08Speaker 3: Steelers backups pushing our starters around Austin.
- 1:21:13Speaker 4: I mean, I hope it improves yet, because I noticed
- 1:21:15Speaker 4: a little bit of the same thing, and it's kind
- 1:21:16Speaker 4: of deceiving in the box score a little bit because
- 1:21:18Speaker 4: if you see like what the Steelers are rushing with
- 1:21:20Speaker 4: their you know, their starting guys.
- 1:21:22Speaker 3: It was few and far between.
- 1:21:24Speaker 4: But yeah, I think in terms of mentality, once again,
- 1:21:26Speaker 4: I've said it, so the Coles come home, it starts
- 1:21:28Speaker 4: in the interior, and I think the interior's got to
- 1:21:30Speaker 4: step it up a little bit.
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, we.
- 1:21:33Speaker 5: Talked about the interior of that defensive line. But Steelers
- 1:21:35Speaker 5: have had problems running the ball. You know that they
- 1:21:38Speaker 5: average four point their identity is to run the ball.
- 1:21:40Speaker 5: They average four point one per rush last year as
- 1:21:42Speaker 5: a team, and they're not a great physical run team anymore.
- 1:21:45Speaker 5: So I think it was You're right, it's a little misleading,
- 1:21:48Speaker 5: but they dominated the offensively.
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: That's that's what you don't want to see.
- 1:21:51Speaker 5: You want to see a defense dominate an offense, and
- 1:21:53Speaker 5: they didn't dominate.
- 1:21:54Speaker 3: Them at all. Next question is about that defense at
- 1:21:58Speaker 3: coach Ripley one. For those who aren't jumping in the
- 1:22:00Speaker 3: Saint John's River, what are Austin's expectations with the defense
- 1:22:03Speaker 3: and the coverage being soft and or the lack of
- 1:22:06Speaker 3: pass rush. Did we blitz or stunt or just play bass?
- 1:22:10Speaker 4: I mean, for the most part, you saw a lot
- 1:22:11Speaker 4: of just bass. Right, this is preseason game number one.
- 1:22:14Speaker 4: You're not gonna see a lot of blitzer. You're gonna
- 1:22:15Speaker 4: see the meat and potatoes. But I think going forward,
- 1:22:18Speaker 4: if what you have right now on that defensive line
- 1:22:20Speaker 4: is what you have, you know, unless Eric Armstead comes back,
- 1:22:23Speaker 4: unless Mason Smith comes back, you're gonna have to generate
- 1:22:25Speaker 4: a little more of that interior rush. So that's gonna
- 1:22:28Speaker 4: be involving blitzing. And keep in mind, like when we asked,
- 1:22:30Speaker 4: you know, Lloyd is a classic example of this. Like
- 1:22:33Speaker 4: Lloyd's great in the run game, Lloyd can get after
- 1:22:35Speaker 4: the passer a little bit as well. In terms of
- 1:22:37Speaker 4: his pass rush, I think you know, there's been times
- 1:22:40Speaker 4: in the past and if you ask him, well, you
- 1:22:42Speaker 4: know what he's has to work on. It's his coverage ability.
- 1:22:45Speaker 4: Well that's an example now of using a player to
- 1:22:47Speaker 4: his strength. So if you want to butlitz Lloyd every
- 1:22:49Speaker 4: once in a while or put somebody else, then more
- 1:22:52Speaker 4: power to you. But until they address that interior, you've
- 1:22:55Speaker 4: got to manufacture a pass rush somehow.
- 1:22:58Speaker 5: Yeah, I think in talking to the guys and the
- 1:23:01Speaker 5: staff about Campanelli, he's going to be exotic and his
- 1:23:06Speaker 5: looks He's gonna show a lot of things. It's not
- 1:23:09Speaker 5: unlike Brian Flores in Minnesota.
- 1:23:11Speaker 2: He shows a lot of those different things.
- 1:23:13Speaker 5: You saw basic as basic can be the other night.
- 1:23:16Speaker 5: So it's hard to read into that, at least from
- 1:23:18Speaker 5: my standpoint.
- 1:23:19Speaker 3: But you know, there's a lot of people scare them.
- 1:23:22Speaker 3: If they can't handle the basics, then how are they
- 1:23:25Speaker 3: gonna handle the exact.
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: The basics are?
- 1:23:27Speaker 5: The basics are just again, are you worried about Trayvon
- 1:23:30Speaker 5: Walker playing the run or rushing the passer? Or you're
- 1:23:33Speaker 5: worried about josh hin Allen rushing the pastor I don't
- 1:23:36Speaker 5: think you are, but they.
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: Didn't do that in the game the other night. So
- 1:23:40Speaker 2: it's just so hard to preseason to evaluate.
- 1:23:42Speaker 3: It really is a couple more here at Tartan Tiel.
- 1:23:45Speaker 3: Does Pete still think Fred Johnson makes the starting old
- 1:23:48Speaker 3: line ahead of Anton Harrison?
- 1:23:50Speaker 5: You know when I said that I thought he would
- 1:23:51Speaker 5: push him, I was told that he would.
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: Push him, and it hasn't materialized. I will say he
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: probably is.
- 1:23:58Speaker 5: He played on the left side the other night, but
- 1:23:59Speaker 5: I think probably more apt to play on the right side.
- 1:24:02Speaker 5: From what I hear, he hasn't had a great camp,
- 1:24:05Speaker 5: and you know there's some concern about him.
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: I think you look at their we talked. We haven't
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: talked much about the offensive line.
- 1:24:15Speaker 5: Adoga has done a really good job at right guard,
- 1:24:18Speaker 5: and I think he might possibly win that job. He saw,
- 1:24:22Speaker 5: you know, when McCary got hurt. You saw crease there
- 1:24:26Speaker 5: and he.
- 1:24:27Speaker 2: Took hold of it.
- 1:24:29Speaker 5: Now, didn't they play him at right tackle today when
- 1:24:32Speaker 5: Harrison was out? Didn't Didn't they play because Milon played
- 1:24:36Speaker 5: right tackle just aft in this with the second group
- 1:24:39Speaker 5: the other night.
- 1:24:39Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I don't know about today because
- 1:24:42Speaker 3: I was I got out there late today.
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: I think I read where McCary might have been over
- 1:24:47Speaker 2: there today.
- 1:24:48Speaker 3: So they've been moving guys around though all camp.
- 1:24:50Speaker 5: I mean, like Manheim played left guard and he's a center. Yeah,
- 1:24:54Speaker 5: and he was, by the way, he was good at
- 1:24:55Speaker 5: left guard. You know, we're not great, but good. I
- 1:25:00Speaker 5: think I think they finally have some developmental alignment. Milam
- 1:25:03Speaker 5: and Monheim both could be developmental alignment. Fortner was better
- 1:25:07Speaker 5: a little bit at center than he had been.
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: But again, the.
- 1:25:10Speaker 5: Offensive line, Fred Johnson, I'd have to say, in just
- 1:25:15Speaker 5: from my personal experience, what I thought he would do
- 1:25:17Speaker 5: come in is probably been a little disappointed.
- 1:25:20Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think in terms of I mean, what
- 1:25:22Speaker 4: was the call he's gonna replace Walker Little or Anton Harrison.
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: The thought was he might push forcible.
- 1:25:29Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think in terms of Anton Harrison,
- 1:25:32Speaker 4: it's been evident during camp that they're trying to push
- 1:25:35Speaker 4: him right in terms of just like what you know,
- 1:25:37Speaker 4: coach Liam Cohen saying in the media and everything like that,
- 1:25:41Speaker 4: they're really making a habit this year of trying to
- 1:25:43Speaker 4: get the best out of Anton Harrison because I think
- 1:25:45Speaker 4: we saw it his rookie year and he wasn't even
- 1:25:47Speaker 4: a hundred percent and he showed some glimpses of but
- 1:25:50Speaker 4: I think being a very good to even great offensive tackle.
- 1:25:53Speaker 4: Then last year, for whatever rhyme or reason, when I
- 1:25:55Speaker 4: feel like he was healthier, didn't pay up to his
- 1:25:57Speaker 4: best abilities. So I think you have a situation now
- 1:26:00Speaker 4: where it's like, is he not getting pushed enough, is
- 1:26:02Speaker 4: he not getting coach right? Whatever the case may be,
- 1:26:04Speaker 4: They're they're all in on this year on pushing them
- 1:26:06Speaker 4: to try to like make make it because basically got
- 1:26:08Speaker 4: to prove the coach is wrong and saying, hey, I
- 1:26:10Speaker 4: can handle this job, and I think for the most part,
- 1:26:12Speaker 4: if you watched that last game and tacha what Pete
- 1:26:14Speaker 4: was saying earlier in the show. I mean, there was
- 1:26:16Speaker 4: one play where if Travis CTN just reads it, it
- 1:26:20Speaker 4: would have been eighty eight and out the gate. It's
- 1:26:22Speaker 4: just he he didn't read the ball. And that was
- 1:26:24Speaker 4: that was spearheaded by Anton Harrison.
- 1:26:26Speaker 5: Let me ask you this, guys, if Odogas starts at
- 1:26:30Speaker 5: right guard and McCary doesn't start, is that bad free
- 1:26:38Speaker 5: agency or do you give him the benefit of it
- 1:26:41Speaker 5: out because they got the other guy on a cheap deal.
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: How do you really how would that play out? How
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: do you look at it from that standpoint.
- 1:26:48Speaker 3: That's a good question, It's a great question.
- 1:26:50Speaker 4: I will look at it and say, you know, we
- 1:26:52Speaker 4: brought in a guy to to have a training camp
- 1:26:56Speaker 4: battle to maybe push McCary, and that guy ended up winning.
- 1:27:00Speaker 4: So I think, you know, if I'm the GM, it's
- 1:27:02Speaker 4: gonna be a win win.
- 1:27:03Speaker 3: You're still you're still paying McCarry, right, is it McCarry
- 1:27:07Speaker 3: and McCary mcary He told me McCarry after his first
- 1:27:10Speaker 3: press conference.
- 1:27:11Speaker 5: Okay, okay, because I've heard McCarthy at times in his career.
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: It's been McCarthy.
- 1:27:15Speaker 3: I've heard McCarthy.
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's still there.
- 1:27:18Speaker 3: It's a big contract. I was like twenty two and
- 1:27:21Speaker 3: a half million guaranteed thirty seven and a half three years.
- 1:27:24Speaker 5: Okay, but but the other guy you signed to be
- 1:27:27Speaker 5: a tackle, a backup tackle, and.
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: You move in the guard.
- 1:27:30Speaker 5: He plays so well because he's played well supposedly in camp,
- 1:27:34Speaker 5: he's had a really good camp.
- 1:27:35Speaker 3: Right, and he's on a two year, seven million dollar deal.
- 1:27:39Speaker 5: Well he's cheaper, yeah, but again, so how would you
- 1:27:43Speaker 5: look at it? It just depends on how he plays.
- 1:27:45Speaker 5: If he played really well, then you look at it
- 1:27:47Speaker 5: as a good move. If he plays done play that well,
- 1:27:49Speaker 5: then you look at it as a two crappy moves.
- 1:27:51Speaker 3: Correct.
- 1:27:52Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:27:52Speaker 5: It's almost like when I was in Buffalo, Christian Benford
- 1:27:55Speaker 5: is their best corner, right. Christian Benford came in the
- 1:27:59Speaker 5: sixth and I remember the year I was there. Benford
- 1:28:04Speaker 5: was a sixth rounder and kyer Elam from Florida was
- 1:28:07Speaker 5: a first rounder and everybody was raising they said, no,
- 1:28:10Speaker 5: the sixth rounders out playing them already. Well, the sixth
- 1:28:12Speaker 5: rounders become one of the better corners in the league.
- 1:28:15Speaker 5: The first round is no longer a buffalo. So do
- 1:28:18Speaker 5: you ping him for drafting elam or do you give
- 1:28:21Speaker 5: him credit for drafting?
- 1:28:24Speaker 2: And that's kind of the same scenario here. If it
- 1:28:26Speaker 2: played out that way, well, I.
- 1:28:27Speaker 3: Mean, I found myself the same situation. It's a little different.
- 1:28:29Speaker 4: But when I got here back in twenty ten, Derek
- 1:28:32Speaker 4: Harvey was the starting defensive end and obviously you remember
- 1:28:34Speaker 4: what they sacrificed to get Derek Harvey here. I mean,
- 1:28:38Speaker 4: it was a lot of draft capital to try to,
- 1:28:40Speaker 4: you know, make him the man. You know, he struggles,
- 1:28:43Speaker 4: and eventually I ended up taking his role, and I understood,
- 1:28:46Speaker 4: like there was a lot of hesitation to do that,
- 1:28:48Speaker 4: not because you know, it was a new GM and everything,
- 1:28:50Speaker 4: but it's like, it's what the move said, right, is
- 1:28:53Speaker 4: that you invested so much in this first round pick
- 1:28:55Speaker 4: and everything, all this capital, and now all of a sudden,
- 1:28:58Speaker 4: you're gonna be like, all right, let's bring this fifth
- 1:28:59Speaker 4: rounder for Murray State wherever that is, and then we'll
- 1:29:01Speaker 4: see what happens.
- 1:29:02Speaker 3: And that's what happened, man.
- 1:29:04Speaker 2: But I did take his job, as.
- 1:29:08Speaker 4: That would have been the Dallas Cowboys game, and I
- 1:29:10Speaker 4: didn't know I was even.
- 1:29:11Speaker 3: Playing in that so early in the season when was yeah,
- 1:29:14Speaker 3: it would.
- 1:29:14Speaker 4: Have been like week five, I think four, week five,
- 1:29:16Speaker 4: and I didn't know I was even gonna play. So
- 1:29:18Speaker 4: I was inactive for the first whatever four games. And
- 1:29:21Speaker 4: I'm in Dallas, think I'm being active again. I'm in
- 1:29:23Speaker 4: the locker room, you know, we get off the bus
- 1:29:25Speaker 4: coach Tuck mel Tucker comes up to me. He's like,
- 1:29:28Speaker 4: you're starting today. I go huh, because I'm thinking, like,
- 1:29:32Speaker 4: you know, like, and I'll be honest, like, there's a
- 1:29:35Speaker 4: mindset that you get in before a game where you
- 1:29:36Speaker 4: think you're starting or you think you're inactive. Right, So
- 1:29:39Speaker 4: did I stay up and and watch a little too
- 1:29:41Speaker 4: much TV? I might have, right, because I think I'm
- 1:29:44Speaker 4: not gonna play it the next day. So I get
- 1:29:46Speaker 4: up and I go huh and he goes, yeah, you're starting.
- 1:29:48Speaker 4: I go okay, cool, and he goes, hey, I understand
- 1:29:52Speaker 4: you right, you're a little nervous. I go, well, yes, sir,
- 1:29:54Speaker 4: and he goes and at the paarapraise I can't cuss,
- 1:29:57Speaker 4: but I'm gonna paarapraise this.
- 1:29:58Speaker 3: He goes, well, like what you do on film?
- 1:30:01Speaker 4: He goes if you're gonna crap on yourself, just make
- 1:30:03Speaker 4: sure you do it one hundred miles per hour.
- 1:30:04Speaker 3: I go, yes, sir, sounds good, and it ended up
- 1:30:07Speaker 3: being a great game.
- 1:30:08Speaker 4: I got a tackle for loss of the first playoffs
- 1:30:10Speaker 4: out there, so I kind of etched myself in, But yeah,
- 1:30:13Speaker 4: it was.
- 1:30:13Speaker 3: It was.
- 1:30:14Speaker 4: There was a lot of resentment though, right because once
- 1:30:16Speaker 4: again Derek Harvey was supposed to be the guy and
- 1:30:18Speaker 4: he wasn't. And how they had that situation was just different.
- 1:30:21Speaker 4: But I will say this too, I found out I
- 1:30:23Speaker 4: was still rooking the NFL, because yes, I was started.
- 1:30:25Speaker 4: You thought life was good. I was still giving the
- 1:30:28Speaker 4: scout team looks too as well, because Derek Carvey didn't
- 1:30:30Speaker 4: want to do that. So I'd have to go with
- 1:30:32Speaker 4: the ones on defense in practice with Jack, and then
- 1:30:36Speaker 4: I had to go give the scout team look because well,
- 1:30:38Speaker 4: Derek Cary wasn't give the.
- 1:30:39Speaker 3: Scout team one.
- 1:30:40Speaker 2: And what ron did you come? You were a fifth
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: a fifth round pickah, So as.
- 1:30:43Speaker 5: A fifth round pick, he ran down the first round pick,
- 1:30:46Speaker 5: the high first round pick five games.
- 1:30:48Speaker 2: That's incredible.
- 1:30:49Speaker 5: It no offense, Austin, but that speaks filures about Derek Garvey.
- 1:30:53Speaker 4: No, no, listen, Derek Carry was a great guy man
- 1:30:56Speaker 4: and he was always cool with me when he have
- 1:30:58Speaker 4: to be right because he got a guy from Murray
- 1:31:00Speaker 4: Stay coming and taking your job, he'd have to be cool,
- 1:31:02Speaker 4: but he was always cool with me.
- 1:31:03Speaker 3: All right, We've got one more question for the Night
- 1:31:06Speaker 3: at the foot fault guy, please tell me Prisco will
- 1:31:09Speaker 3: be on means the show. I need him to keep
- 1:31:12Speaker 3: calling Tony Bisselli a turncoat.
- 1:31:15Speaker 5: Well, look, you give Tony Bisselli a ton of credit
- 1:31:19Speaker 5: because he turn.
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: Coated himself into an executive shop. What is this Tony's
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: exact title, by.
- 1:31:27Speaker 3: The way, executive vice president of Football Operation.
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: Okay, at the end of last year for the last month.
- 1:31:33Speaker 5: And a half when he was defending everything and I
- 1:31:35Speaker 5: called him the turncoat and all that, he.
- 1:31:38Speaker 2: Played it right the right way. Kudos to him. We
- 1:31:40Speaker 2: were the.
- 1:31:40Speaker 3: Dope right because we're still on the show. I mean
- 1:31:44Speaker 3: no offense to the show.
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: It's just but look at him.
- 1:31:47Speaker 5: He played himself in the executive DP of the football
- 1:31:51Speaker 5: operations for NFL team from that seat right there, Austin,
- 1:31:55Speaker 5: think about that.
- 1:31:56Speaker 3: It's incredible big shoes to fill, for sure.
- 1:31:58Speaker 2: You know what it is.
- 1:31:59Speaker 3: How many years did we do the show eleven? I
- 1:32:02Speaker 3: believe I think eleven seasons total.
- 1:32:04Speaker 2: So I taught him well, I sent him on his way.
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: He could be the executive VP now.
- 1:32:10Speaker 5: He learned enough football from me that he could go
- 1:32:12Speaker 5: on his way. You know, it's funny though he's still
- 1:32:15Speaker 5: butchers names.
- 1:32:16Speaker 3: Oh, I bet there's no doubt about that. In meetings.
- 1:32:19Speaker 3: I bet he's hammered.
- 1:32:20Speaker 5: Like I'll talk to about guys around the league sometimes
- 1:32:22Speaker 5: and he'll still butcher their names.
- 1:32:24Speaker 3: Hey, you should have heard him do a commercial the
- 1:32:25Speaker 3: other day. He actually did a commercial the other day.
- 1:32:28Speaker 3: Not sports Coach, No, it's not sports coats back, but
- 1:32:31Speaker 3: it was. It took him a handful of takes which
- 1:32:33Speaker 3: that happened.
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: It's not surprising. That's not surprising.
- 1:32:37Speaker 3: They have it. Fanatics, fan questions are in. We're back
- 1:32:41Speaker 3: in a moment with some final thoughts on our opening
- 1:32:44Speaker 3: Monday night show of the season. This is Jaguar's Happy

- 1:33:29Speaker 3: spent the entire commercial break crushing Basselle on how he
- 1:33:31Speaker 3: couldn't read commercials properly, and I just screwed up the
- 1:33:34Speaker 3: first read of this segment.
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: You know what, He'll give it to you when he
- 1:33:38Speaker 2: sees you. Yeah, because he probably he's probably we know
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: you're in your office listening Tony. We know it.
- 1:33:43Speaker 3: We just know it old Rabbit Ears, Tony.
- 1:33:46Speaker 5: Sitting there in your your hoodie.
- 1:33:51Speaker 3: Eating snacks, eating snacks, watching tape.
- 1:33:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we know it.
- 1:33:56Speaker 3: You know he's listening, well, Rabbit turncoat to Rabbit Ears.
- 1:34:02Speaker 2: You know what, though, I don't think I don't.
- 1:34:05Speaker 5: Think he's going to be like certain other gms in
- 1:34:07Speaker 5: that GM in that building at all.
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: You know, I don't think James will be either.
- 1:34:12Speaker 5: Look, the other guy was so thin skinned Trent Balkey
- 1:34:16Speaker 5: listened to everything and it bothered him.
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: And when you try and talk to him about it,
- 1:34:21Speaker 2: it still bothered him.
- 1:34:22Speaker 5: So you know, look, we're going to be critical. We're
- 1:34:25Speaker 5: not holding back. We will not hold back. If Warren's
- 1:34:29Speaker 5: being criticized, you get criticized, but Warren's being praised, you
- 1:34:31Speaker 5: get praised.
- 1:34:32Speaker 2: Period. That's the way it's going to be.
- 1:34:34Speaker 5: I'm curious because I think late Liam Cohen, I don't
- 1:34:36Speaker 5: know if you guys.
- 1:34:37Speaker 2: I feel like he's handled his team very well in
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: the offseason.
- 1:34:41Speaker 5: And it's just a matter of what's it going to
- 1:34:43Speaker 5: be like in the regular If it's one and two,
- 1:34:46Speaker 5: how does he handle that?
- 1:34:48Speaker 2: We don't know that. That's what we don't.
- 1:34:50Speaker 3: And that's with every new head coach that comes in,
- 1:34:53Speaker 3: especially a first year head coach that comes in. We've
- 1:34:55Speaker 3: had a few of those when they're one and four.
- 1:34:59Speaker 3: Oh boy, things can get tight in a hurry.
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: Us.
- 1:35:02Speaker 4: No, without a doubt. I mean, when you're winning football games,
- 1:35:04Speaker 4: everything's fun. Right Like if you're on a little bit
- 1:35:07Speaker 4: of a winning streak, your job is easy. Just all right,
- 1:35:09Speaker 4: be here at a certain time. I'll coach. That's I'll
- 1:35:11Speaker 4: call these plays cool. But if it's the NFL, so
- 1:35:14Speaker 4: there's gonna be losing streaks, right, So if we're talking
- 1:35:16Speaker 4: three four games in a row, how do you respond?
- 1:35:19Speaker 4: And that to me is gonna be the true makeup
- 1:35:20Speaker 4: of a coach right there, especially a first year coach,
- 1:35:22Speaker 4: of how do you rally your troops? Then how do
- 1:35:25Speaker 4: you get your guys to be invested when you guys,
- 1:35:27Speaker 4: you know, worked hard in the off season and everything,
- 1:35:29Speaker 4: and now all of a sudden it's not going like
- 1:35:31Speaker 4: you wanted.
- 1:35:32Speaker 3: What is the plan going forward?
- 1:35:34Speaker 2: You know?
- 1:35:34Speaker 5: I was talking about Lafleur last week about coaching, and
- 1:35:38Speaker 5: we were talking about he said early in his career
- 1:35:42Speaker 5: it would drive him crazy to the point where he
- 1:35:44Speaker 5: didn't sleep, and what would you do when it wasn't perfect?
- 1:35:49Speaker 5: And I told him, I go, can't be perfect. You
- 1:35:51Speaker 5: can't control it. It cannot be perfect.
- 1:35:54Speaker 2: And until you.
- 1:35:55Speaker 5: Later on in his career, as he started to realize
- 1:35:57Speaker 5: it can't be perfect, that it changed who he is.
- 1:36:00Speaker 5: And so that's what you always worry about with young
- 1:36:02Speaker 5: young coaches who were coordinators, like with Liam, if it
- 1:36:06Speaker 5: goes bad, does he go back to trying to fix
- 1:36:09Speaker 5: the offense?
- 1:36:09Speaker 2: It's not just him Ben Johnson. Uh, those guys, do
- 1:36:13Speaker 2: you go to your side.
- 1:36:14Speaker 5: Of the ball and say, I gotta oh my gosh,
- 1:36:16Speaker 5: I gotta fix this, and not really big picture of
- 1:36:19Speaker 5: the whole team, because that's where you're gonna be decided
- 1:36:22Speaker 5: if you're a great coach or not.
- 1:36:23Speaker 2: Is that you handled a big team, the whole team. Well.
- 1:36:25Speaker 4: And here's the biggest thing too about Liam Conan this
- 1:36:28Speaker 4: entire regime taking over, is that they've put u you know,
- 1:36:32Speaker 4: a really emphasis on transparency.
- 1:36:35Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:36:35Speaker 4: We almost feel like we're behind the curtain the entire
- 1:36:37Speaker 4: time with this new regime. What happens if you lose
- 1:36:40Speaker 4: three or four games in a row? Is there gonna
- 1:36:42Speaker 4: be accountability? Are you gonna call guys out or are
- 1:36:44Speaker 4: we gonna be privileged to know, Hey, what do you
- 1:36:46Speaker 4: guys plan on doing it? Or are we gonna kind
- 1:36:48Speaker 4: of go quiet then and not really give us a
- 1:36:50Speaker 4: lot of information? You know, is gonna be more like
- 1:36:52Speaker 4: Brett Martineau. You would understand from Doug Peterson last year?
- 1:36:56Speaker 3: Remember that one I do remember what you get it?
- 1:36:59Speaker 3: You would can get it?
- 1:37:00Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we can got Liam Cohen breaking down
- 1:37:02Speaker 4: and play by play in the preseason like, I'm a
- 1:37:04Speaker 4: fan of it, but me to.
- 1:37:08Speaker 3: In the NFL.
- 1:37:09Speaker 2: I've said that all the year. There's no secrets in
- 1:37:11Speaker 2: the NFL.
- 1:37:12Speaker 3: Hey, Pete, when do you want to cut the team?
- 1:37:14Speaker 3: And when do you want to pick the schedule? We
- 1:37:16Speaker 3: got like three weeks cut the team.
- 1:37:17Speaker 2: We'll cut the team? What days cut dates? And three
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: weeks from.
- 1:37:20Speaker 3: Uh yeah, it's we won't have a show after that
- 1:37:23Speaker 3: until week one. No, no, we labor Day, we don't
- 1:37:26Speaker 3: have a show either, So we won't have a show
- 1:37:27Speaker 3: until after the first game. So we got to do
- 1:37:29Speaker 3: it before cuts.
