Jags A.M. Podcast Ep. 111 | Stopping Vikings Offense, Who Will Play QB, Shell Whites & More · Jags A.M.

• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Welcome to jag Zam this morning. I'm kind of Annie Stevens,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Brian Sexton and John Ozer are with of me. We're
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: gonna talk about the Jaguars Viking game coming up this Sunday,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: but I'm not entirely sure who's gonna be out on.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: The field for the Jaguars at this point.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Let's start out with big thing one, which is QB,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: who Trevor Lawrence banged up in the game against the Eagles,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the team bringing in backup quarterback c Ja Besards to
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: back up the other backup quarterback, Matt Jones. So we
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: heard from Trevor Lawrence earlier this.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Week talking about whether he'd be ready for game TEB.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: That's the goal. I'm gonna doing everything I can to
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: be out there, you know, and if I gets in
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: the past, I've gotten banged up in the past, and
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: I just try to do everything I can do and
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: the week concern myself to play Sunday and just pretty
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: much time as possible into that and getting healthy. So
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: that's that's the way my my mind is right now.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Brand We saw Trevor Lawrence battle through a lot of
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: injuries last year. He played without practicing without trying to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: rest throughout the week. Didn't always go that well for him,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: especially in that kid. At the end of last season,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: they brought in mac Jones for this purpose. Are we
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: gonna see Trevor Lawrence?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Do you think?
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: Listen, I assumed on Monday when I made my little hay,
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: I think the Jaguars will win this Sunday prediction. I
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: assumed that Trevor was going to play, So I'm just
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: gonna go the other way and assume that he's not.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: Although I think the tell there was that's the goal.
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm trying to do. Look, he had a
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: lot of time last year in over six weeks. He
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: learned that it isn't disseasy to do. I mean, your
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: body may say no when your heart and mind say yes.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: I have no inside knowledge on this, and the Jaguars
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: are doing their part to make sure nobody has inside
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: knowledge on this. They want the advantage one way or
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: the other. And I'm going to tell you I didn't
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: get the sense that he was gonna throw it all
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: out there on the field on Sunday.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: I just didn't.
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he's gonna try and He's shown that
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: he's willing CJ. Bethard the Mammy Dolphins practice squad to
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: be the backup to Mac Jones, which means you're keeping
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: CJ on the roster for at least three weeks. That
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: tells I think everybody that there's a serious chance to
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: everyone play. So I'm going to lean toward not just
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: because of the.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Tea leaves and something.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye and see what his availability is
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: in practice as this week goes along.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Our big thing Number two is going to be year three.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: We're looking ahead to that matchup with the Vikings this
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: week and Kevin O'Connell, head coach over there in Minnesota.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Is entering his third season.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And when you look at this offense, Brian, when we've
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: seen what they've done with Sam Darnold and this year
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: after drafting a quarterback and then bringing him in, it's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: been impressive to see on offensive sets football.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: Well, he comes from the Sean McVay, you know, Shanahan
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: kind of mold of a young bright offensive mine. But
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: they were sort of grasping when they grabbed Sam Donald.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: I don't think there's any way that they could have
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: looked and said, well a right. Sam Donald was the
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: fourth pick by the Jets and they let him go,
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: and he went to the Panthers and they let him
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: go when he went to San Francisco for a year.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: I mean, maybe maybe Shanahan shared some knowledge with him
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: about what the quarterback was. But it really helps when
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: you have the best wide receiver in football in Justin
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Jefferson and then they go grab Aara Jones in free
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: agency and he's been a revelation for them, just a
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: powerful running back. And Sam Donald settled in seven seasons
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: in turns out he is a pretty good quarterback. And
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: O'Connell looks like a genius sportthanding him the reins.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you're gonna see Sam Donald type stories
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: more around the league.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: You're seeing it with Baker Mayfield.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: These guys come in and you know, the more I
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: think about this last couple of weeks as I sort
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: of focused on it, I think the league's broken when
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: it comes to trying to develop young quarterbacks. They have
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: to play too soon, the expectations, then you're out the door.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: So I think Sam Donald's an example of I think
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: a trend you're gonna see which means nothing to the
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: Jaguars this week. The point is they've got to play
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: this guy. And the Vikings are a lot better than
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: you would have thought that. The Vikings are one of
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: the teams in the NFL right now. They're consistent, they're
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: always hard to beat, they're always there, and they're even
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: hard to beat for the Jaguars this week.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: And this is a solid team.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: Right hey, don't forget Jared Goff is a reclamation story
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: of his own and he may have the best football
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: team out there right now with the seven and one Lions.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: And the guy in Seattle was reclaimed a couple of
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: different times, so it's going to be a hot storyline
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: because the lack of patients in developing these guys, the
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: sense that you've got to go all in right now.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: I mean c J.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: Stroud, who was so good as a rookie. It's been
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: pretty good this year too. Seems to be the exception
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: to the rule. These guys need some time.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: We're seeing with Anthony Richardson and Bryce Young right now
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: as well, so it's be something to keep an eye
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: on for sure. Let's do our final big thing today,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: which is going to be picked your poison.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: We're talking a little.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Bit about the Vikings, who had kind of an inverse
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: season with the Jaguars have been having They've been playing
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: tight games, and they've been finding ways to win. John
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: when we talk about that offense, obviously what they've been
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: able to do with Sam Darnold, but also this defense
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: has been pretty much shut down since Brian Flour.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I've got there.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: Well, the defense is good. On offense, justin Jefferson's really good.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: This is when you looked at this stretch the Jaguars
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: are going into, I guess the filling a lot of people.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: This was not a game they looked at as maybe
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: the same stretches Detroit or Philly.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: But it's good. And if I picked my poison, I.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: Think the offense this week, I mean, the Jaguars offense
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: is going to need some above the x's and o's
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: type plays from special players. This is not a defense
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: the Vikings that you're gonna go up and down the
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: field twelve plays. It's my headline later in the show,
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: so won't give it away. But yeah, although I could hear.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: It, you're whispering still like that. I'm gonna say the
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: same thing this week that I said last week, and
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: that is if you don't stop Aaron Jones, if you
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: can't make him, if you can't put them in third
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: and long situations, you got no hope of stopping Justin Jefferson.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Anyway.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: So this football team last week got a couple of
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: key tackles that Devon Hamilton played so well, made the
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: big tackle that set up the long field goal that
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: they missed to break serve and give the Jaguars offense
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: a chance. The defense has to help the quarterback, no
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: matter who it is. If it's Trevor who's banged up,
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: or as we seem to think, Matt Jones is going
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: to get his first start for the Jaguars, You're going
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: to have to get something more from the defense, and
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: I think that stopping Aaron Jones is giving them more.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: All right, so far, and Jagzam coming up after the break.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit more about that Vikings matchup
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: coming on Sunday. Welcome back to Jagzam, brought to you
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: by Fields Auto Group, Jackson Bill's premier luxury auto group.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: You can head over to Fieldsauto dot com.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Welcome you back in.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: The Jaguars are going to take on the Vikings in
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: their Salute to Service game this weekend and as they
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: come to town. You're very talented team. We've been talking
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: about it a little bit, but we're going to look
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: into that a little bit more. One of the players
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: that's coming back, very familiar to Jaguars fans, came Robinson
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: traded there last week. I already played one game, so
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: it's been a couple of weeks since he's been gone,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: but he's already been impressive in his first performance.
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: Cam being the first a veteran player with over ninety starts,
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: he knows how to play the game. I thought, for
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: a guy that showed up, and I used the play
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: style term a lot. He probably only heard it about
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: one hundred times, you know, which is a low number
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: most of our players will tell you.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: But that showed up.
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: I mean his physicality in the run game. Maybe the
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: technique might not have been perfect, but his length and
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: strength and able to you know, come off the rock
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: when we needed him to, depending on if we were
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: running to his side or he was on the back
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: side of a run.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: That showed up to me.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Ryan, we very familiar with Cam's style and we know
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: he'll be up for this game for sure. What are
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: we going to see from Cam? This might be the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: best game we see from Cam. Yeah.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: I mean we heard the stories that he was animated
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: when he lost his starting job, so you know, there's
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: a little bur under the saddle there, and the fact
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: that the Jaguars traded him he was the longest tenured
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: player here and that they were willing to move on.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: There wasn't a real cohesive feeling between the organization and came.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: At least from my third person perspective, it felt like
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: it was a little bit disjointed this year. So I
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: expect him to come play well. And I don't know
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: whether you saw the piece of video from the locker
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: room post game where Kevin O'Connell gave him a game ball.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: The smile on his face was pretty telling, and I
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: expect that Josh and trayvonn't gonna have their hands full
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: with him on Sunday.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: The end in the NFL is usually not how you feeling. Yeah,
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: because you're leaving. You don't want to leave. Look, Cam's fun.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: Cam will be up for this, probably some pushing at
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: least some shoving.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: As I've said a couple times this.
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: Week, I fully expect that at some point in the future,
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: Cam will be embraced. Cam will embrace the organization. He
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: was here for eight years. He liked being here.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: This is not the weekend for embracing now.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: It'll be fun. Cam gets motivated by things like that.
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: He's a street ball type guy. He likes the scrap
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: and I think I'm not saying he's gonna be fights,
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: but you know there's gonna be motivation. And you know what, Brian,
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: this is the kind of storyline makes it fun.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Especially when you go at you and seventeen right, you
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: need a little something to juice it up. I also
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: think that if you're Cam Robinson, you appreciate Kevin O'Connell,
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: you know, praising you, not just in front of your team,
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: but in front of the media. Because he's gonna be
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: a free agent in eight more regular season games. They're
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: a playoff team for sure. This gives him an opportunity
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: to stand up and say, hey, I'm still a quality
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: starting left tackle.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: I want some more money.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: He's auditioning a little bit himself.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's look at what the Vikings are
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: going to bring to town. Doug Peterson talked a little bit.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: We mentioned Sam Darnold's kind of his resurgence that he's
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: had in Minnesota. And Doun talked to a little bit
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: about what Sam Donald brings to the game.
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: I think the talent around him, you know, I mean
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: that helps, right, I mean just having having having the
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: run game, the defense, the way the defense is played,
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: you know, being in coach O'Connell's system and in the
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: way he calls plays, I think is helpful. And and look,
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: he's he's always been. He's always been a solid quarterback
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: and whatever team role he's on, I just think now
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: he's learning, maturing and in showing.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: That he's capable of doing it.
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: And that's what you're seeing on on film, you know,
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: taking care of the football. That's a big part of
• 10:39
  Speaker 8: this thing. And and to yes, Justin Jefferson is a
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: you know, obviously an elite receiver in this league that
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: you know can can recavoc on you.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: John ruin this press conference yesterday, I think he laughed
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: when someone asked him about what Sam Donald brings and
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: he just laughed and said, well, Justin Jefferson helped us
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: a lot, and I'm sure it does well.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: So much of this league can be circumstance just Jeffson
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: certainly helps. He's a guy who's a you know, we
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: all love to talk about true number one. Well, he's
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: a true number one, and a lot of guys get
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: tagged with that and they're not really This guy can
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: beat double coverage, he can beat defenses that are designed
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: to stop him. Also, Sam Donald a lot of quarterbacking
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: in this league. There are guys who can ascend through
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: weirdness and define an offense as quarterback. There's the other
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: guys who can thrive in a system that's already there.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: This system is already there. There's light going on around.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: Sam Donald was able to step in into a calm situation,
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: which I doubt he had really had before. So again,
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: the teams that are good know how they want to play.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: The Vikings seem to know their identity, they know how
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: they want to play. It makes them dangerous and Donald's
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: confidence so it's scary.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Listen, when you've already been a bust, right when
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: you've been shipped out of the door by the team
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: that drafted you in the top five and then a
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: backup in Carolina in San Francisco, what do you care
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: what other people think?
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: I don't think he does.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: When I watch him play, he looks like a guy
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: who is out there just functioning, as John said, in
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: a system was really good football players around him, playing
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: and having fun. I mean, he's learned in six previous
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: seasons how to play the game at this level, and
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: now he's got a legitimate opportunity. Remember he wasn't supposed
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: to necessarily be the starter. The McCarthy kid who was
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: drafted out of Michigan with the knee injury, was supposed
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: to be the starter this year. So they plug him
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: in and he goes in, plays great.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: There's a little Kurt Warner to it, right.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: If you remember back in the day the Rams signed
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: Trent Green to be their quarterback. He gets hurt in
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: the Rams thought, oh my god, it's all over, and
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: then Kurt Warner steps in and becomes a Hall of Famer.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: So you know, for him, he's in the perfect situation.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: And six years now, seven years into his NFL career,
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: he just gets to go play.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so much of its maturity. Yeah, six years. He
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: now realizes he said nothing to lose, he can come in.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: He makes a mistake. Why every thought it was my names?
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah mistake. Anyways, supposed to be here and I don't
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: have to be a hero. So he's got his dough
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: Now he can.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Go put let's touch to the other side of the football.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Brian Flora is now their new defensive coordinator coming in
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: this season has given them a different look and and
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Doug spoke a little bit about what that defense looks
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: like now.
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: I think coach Fory has just done a great job
• 13:24
  Speaker 8: with the personnel there. He's found roles for their guys.
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: It's a multiple, multiple front disguise defense. They're going to keep,
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: you know, the lid on it. You know, they're not gonna,
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: you know, let a lot of explosive passages, which I
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: think was a year ago, you know, was was was
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: part of the part of the issue there. But they've
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: done a great job I think just just moving guys
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: around on defense and we got veteran guys in spots
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: that our leaders there. That's a physical group and it's
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: another top challenge.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: For offense, definitely getting the physicality out of them. I'm
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: familiar with Floors is some of his coaching work in
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: New England John and he talked about it on the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: podcast there today with Bucky Brooks and just what he's
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: been able to dial up with them and for lack
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: of a better word, basically attacking their opponents and kind
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: of making them making those teams adjust to them.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: Well, they're really good. They they they blitz.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: Well, they've got I think five or three guys with
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: five or more sacks, so it's hard to identify who
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: you have to double. The key to playing this scheme
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: is you have to be patient and and and you
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: have to be very smart and make good quick decisions
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: in the short passing game.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Uh. I think mac Jones can do that.
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: I mean it's it's uh, this shapes up to me
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: as a game the Jaguars can stay competitive in if
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: they're smart and patient.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: I think Matt can do that if he's the guy.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: Uh if he stays over his feet, so to speak,
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: I try to do too much say in the game
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: plan and not panic, which I think he can do.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: Explorer is the most successful coach to leave New England.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: I mean lots of guys did.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: He obviously didn't have success as a head coach when
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: he went to Miami, but I would argue he's one
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: of the better coordinators and what he's been able to
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: do Obviously he was in the Steelers last year as well,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and he when we talk about how we want our
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: team to be physical and tackle hard and finish, he
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: always gets that out of players and he's really creative. Obviously,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the Malcolm Butler play in the Super Bowl, he was
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: kind of in charge of the secondary at that point
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: when he was able to. I mean, Malcolm Butler undrafted
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: free agent out of small college in Mississippi, so he
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: gets a lot out of what he has and I
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: think plays to their strengths and gets.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: The most of his players.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: I think it's also worth noting that they let the
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: Neil Hunter walk in free agency, right and are fine apparently, Yeah, right,
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: which is a great lesson, a great lesson. They knew
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: what they had, they knew what they wanted, and incomes
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: a new defensive coordinator and without the Neil Hunter puts
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: together maybe the best defense in football.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Gotta love it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: He was impressive, very much.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: So is all right, say us, we're gonna give you
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: our prediction. That's to what the headlines are gonna be
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: on Monday morning. Jag Zam brought to you in part

  Speaker 1: Welcome back, and we're going to do our best to
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: predict the future as we look to what the headlines
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: are going to be on Monday morning after this game
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: against the Vikings on Sunday, Brian, what do you think
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about?
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: Well, as Afford too mentioned, I on Monday thought that
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: the Jaguars were close last week and just said finally
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: they pushed through. I predicted a win on Monday, so
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: I'm sticking with it.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: I go with white hat Hero.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: They're wearing white helmets for the very first time in
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: franchise history. Was weird to be on the practice field
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: to just see those. I'm gonna stick with the assumption
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: that Matt Jones will make his first start in a
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: Jaguars uniform, and I think he makes a play and
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: keeps the Vikings off balance early on, the Jaguars get
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: their offense going and find a way to shock people
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: and beat a really good Vikings team.
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: Well, much like you, Brian, I'm an eternal optimist, and
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: this prediction of mine is full of hope.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: And so I'm I'm predicting a Jaguars a win this
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Tiger's time. Look at the alteration. I like it, hissed Tiger's.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Time would be better.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: But you know, Brian Thomas Junior coming out was sort
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: of like Justin Jefferson in the sense that he was
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: sort of the second LSU receiver in his draft. And
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: I think if the Jaguars are gonna win, they may
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: have to gear the offense more toward BTJ than they've
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: done in the past. So maybe this is when we're
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: sitting there watching NFL Network on Sunday night, when they're
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: talking about Brian Thomas Junior instead of Justin Jefferson.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: Wow, that would be something mackwell, and it really would.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: You could see that being a storyline. That wouldn't mean
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: BTAJA is better yet, right, but if this is a
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: step toward getting there, I think he can get there
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: and he can be that guy. Maybe this is the
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: week he starts to ascend to that level. He's already
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: a pretty good level.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: You were in New England at the time the Jaguars
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: passed on Jordan Jefferson or Justin Jefferson. Jordan Jefferson's in
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: their locker room. Now that didn't pass on him on
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: Justin Jefferson in favor of Caleb on Jason. Imagine if
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: you had both of them.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna get to see it live and in person.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but we got our own LSU wide receiver and
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: after as we mentioned, very talented Mac likes to throw
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: it up too, so we might be able to see
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: some of that if he does.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Get to play. Mine is more of the matchup. We
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: talked a little bit about.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: It already, but it means a friendly fire between Josh
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Heinzeln and Cam Robinson because those two went up against
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: each other in practice for what five six years now,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: so they know each other quite well. I don't know
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: if any love is gonna be lost, because as I mentioned,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Cam's probably gonna be as hype as he's been for
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: a game and quite some time, and I think Josh
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: is taking that on himself, is gonna be going at
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: him most of the day as well. So I don't
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: know which way this is gonna go. I know this
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: is something I'm gonna need watching whenever they're on the field.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Together and keeping my eye on.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: All right, stay with us.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: We we'll talk a little bit more about this game
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, the Spooch Service matchup and what you can expect.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Sam, Welcome back into Jags Am. Today.

  Speaker 1: Also, this week's game against the Vikings is brought to
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: you by CSX CX CSX how Tomorrow Moves. It's gonna
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: be the Slute to Service game for the Jags and
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: also the first first time ever, as Brian mentioned, they're
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: gonna be wearing white helmets.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: People feel very strongly one way or the other on these.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, they cannot wear all white uniforms because you have
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: to wear it with one of your alternate uniforms. So
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I believe it's going to be white helmets, black jerseys,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: white pants, white socks, white shoes. Imagine, so everything else
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: except the jersey will be white, is what they're kind.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Of going for. Do you know thirty years I fail
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: yet I'll have to see it with the whole uniform.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know how I feel.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: Thirty years ago they had a boardroom in the trailers
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: when the stadium was under construction with all sorts of
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: combinations out, and there was no white helmet.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: There was a silver helmet and a black helmet, but
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: no white helmet. So when I turned the corner yesterday,
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: I had no concept of what it was going to
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: look like to see white helmets. And I literally kind
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: of did this and looked back at me. It just
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: looked so strange. I had never contemplated a white helmet.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: I kind of like, it's cool.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd like to see it with all white. I'd
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: like to see it with maybe the teal tops and
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: the teal pants. But you know, when you're talking about
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: uniform combinations in November, it means that your football team
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: is not meeting expectations.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: So we can do out there breaking that passes in
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: a white helmet.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: It's going to be doing it.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Why not.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: It's I mean, I love the black helmet of the Jaguars.
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: I don't think that'll ever go away. You never say never,
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: but this is a cool change up.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: Here's the question, do you ever foresee the day when
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: the NFL loosens the.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Rules and you can work fun.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, this thing goes more international, and it's only
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: going to get more international. I think there'll be a
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: day where there can be a team or two that
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: likes the Oregon approach and has four or five different combinations.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: They put together.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: It's a long time coming.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: You know what.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: I I don't think so.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: I think the international thing is going to drive a
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: lot of innovation in NFL thinking.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Let's just bring the throwbacks back. Let's start with that.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: I think that's a good place to start.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Jagger's is gonna take on the Vikings on Sunday. We
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: will be back on Monday to recap everything for you.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Enjoy the game. We'll see then
