• 0:44
  Speaker 1: has his phone ring happening this morning. That's the alarm
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: for one day after we start. That's Brian Sexton, Ashland
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Sullivan here and let's just get right into it with
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: our big things this week. Ashlyn kick us off. My
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: big thing is we are coming off Cookie Mini Camp
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: weekend and we were out there Saturday for practice. And
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: this is a bit of a bold statement because it
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: was just rookie mini camp and football pajamas and all
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: of that. But that was the most efficient and well
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: organized practice I have seen since starting here with the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Jaguars in two thousand seventeen. They had an m C
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: in between periods telling them exactly where they were going.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: There was ten seconds left in the water break, there
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: was zero time wasted. Lenn's dazzled. I was like, this
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: is legit. I like my cat. I mean, part of
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: that is, I think the new regime and the coaching
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: staff and all that, but new players and everything was
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: so new this weekend. I wonder if that will even
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: happen during veteran camp, all the MC stuff, because you know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: at that point everybody will know where they're going. Well,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I had heard from somebody that they had been out
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and rehearsed it before, you know, with all the staff,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: because there had been so many people who never been
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: out on the field essentially, and this is a new
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: staff together and they needed to learn how they worked
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and where they worked. And so it makes sense, especially
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: with those rookies, that you would get them into the field.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: And that's what rookie camp is about. Here's what we do,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: when we do it, when we move, how we move,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: what we do next? Um so it was efficient. I
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: wouldn't say that I hadn't seen that before, back in
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the early days when Tom Coughlin had so I hit
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: a horn and cards and it was different but highly
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: structured organized. I would say it's much more hightened, much
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: more structured organized than it has been in a long time. Absolutely,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and much more I thought hands on coaching as well.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Just they were very into it and every single drill
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: great John Uh. I thought it was a mini camp practice.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was definitely up tempo, it was definitely
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: fast uh to me. The eight teen players uh made
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: me not pay that much attention to the details of it,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: But I did like the m C like Slen did.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I would be surprised if they don't do that, just
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: because it feels like that's the sort of I'm surprised
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: of Verdenmire has it in this practice and doesn't continue
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: with it, just in terms of I think it gets
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: players minds, Okay, that's the ten second mark. I got
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: get ready for the next thing. So I kind of
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: thought that was cool because I like shiny objects to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and you don't have coaches yelling whatever, you know, there's
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a less of that, at least in the early stages
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and we'll see how it looks moving ahead. And by
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the Urban said after the fact, that wasn't a Jaguars
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: practice tempo. That's Saturday that we saw. They went apparently
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: a little harder on Friday when we weren't out there.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: A couple of guys got nicked up, it felt like,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: so they pulled back the reins a little bit. It's
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: hard to go full tempo with eighteen guys. It was,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you know, it was almost comical to call it a
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: practice when you had a team layers and you look
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: over in the offensive line is two guys and they're
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: going back there no water bricks free offensive line, by
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the way, because they just come going back to back
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: to back to back, and you know, there's a lot
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: of running around. And we'll get to some of our
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: thoughts on it. And I was asked by a No
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Zone reader, Hey, you you didn't give me any takeaways
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and you see you having takeaways after a rookie camp,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and I was like, well, my takeaway is there eighteen
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: players out there, so there wasn't that much to take away.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: When you had Trevor Lawrence, you know, throwing a little
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: bit not able to hand off. So there were some takeaways,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: but I think as O T A S get going,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: we'll have a lot more uh insight into this. Our
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: next big thing today I'll go next is the overreaction
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to the Travis E. T N working at wide receiver business.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: It just feels so strange to me. A lot of
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it's from outside of the local marketplace. I get that
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: some of it seems like it's sniping in urban because
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of people like to snipe at urban It
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: feels like in the national media that may not be
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: around here a lot. And Uh, that's been the plan
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the whole time, is to cross train him and to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: give him some time at wide receiver because that's going
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to be what his position is, not just wide receiver,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: but he's a running back. He's both And how can
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you work at running back when nobody can hand it
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to you during rookie minicamp? The Trevor is not going
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to hand the ball off. They were gonna let him
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: do any of that stuff, So why not give him
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: three days working at wide receiver. I just think it
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: was so overblown nationally. Um that it's but it's kind
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: of expected to be overblown nationally, right, it's your classic
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Twitter reaction. News. You take a quote did you see
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: on Twitter? You as a national guy, you react without
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: knowing any context. It was made to sound initially like, well,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it just working in a wide receiver, which means he's
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: just gonna play wide receive. What Urban never said. He's
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: just gonna play wide receiver. He said from day one.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: And if you go back and listen to the availability
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: when Urban talked after the draft, he said they would
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: not have taken him as just a running back. They
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: saw this guy as an explosive piece to the puzzle.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: They were either going to get Kadarius Tony or they
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: were going to get him there. Why wouldn't you work
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: him a wide receiver this weekend? What in the world
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: is he going to gain in a fifteen to eighteen
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: person practice taking handoff from the quarterback? If the if
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the quarterback could even hand off, they wouldn't let him
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: do it. Why wouldn't you work him a wide receiver
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: this weekend? When did you think they were going to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: start working a wide receiver? November December? I mean, now
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: is the time to do it. It was the stupidest controversy.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Well that's what they do it's people want to be
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: outraged so that they can get a reaction on social media.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: That's all it is. Because I was listening to the
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: availability on Saturday and he said, we've always had a
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: guy like this. Anywhere he's been, they've had a multidimensional
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: guy like this. So that's what he was from the start.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And eighteen players working give me a break. Yeah, And
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I saw something where if he's working at wide receiver,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: this might take away from him being a running back
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and he might lose some of this. How hard is
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: it to play running back? He's done this right, Yeah,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: everybody knows for years it's the easiest position. It's not easy.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not interesting. But if you can easiest position to adapt.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: You take the ball, you run to a hole, you
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: run fast, you run over guys. And he knows how
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to run in power, he knows how he's been here,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: done that. He's the all time leading rusher in the
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: A C. C. We're not really that worried about it.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: They get into vine and have to pitch to E. T. N.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: He'll know what to do with the ball. At some
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: point nature and instincts will take over and that John,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: your big thing could be part of that too, nature
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: your big thing. And you know it was difficult because
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: full disclosure here, I picked mine after JP had picked his.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I was gonna go with the t N and that
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: was obviously going to be the main topic this morning.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: But you know, the more I watched Walker Little and
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the more I think about the Walker Little pick. Yeah,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of teams in the draft who
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: penalized Packed ten guys for sitting out in I still
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: for the life and we can't figure out why that happened. Um.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I look at this kid and he's two years moved
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: from an A c L. He's the number one high
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: school prospect, and I get that doesn't matter, but he
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: was first team All Packed ten as a sophomore. He
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: was coming out. When I talked to David Shaw a
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, the head coach at Stanford, he
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: said they were planning their left tackle position for whatever
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the next year was. Teams when he heard his A
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: c L they were trying to figure out what they
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: were gonna be left tack with. They n he was
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: coming out and he's gonna be a first round pick.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Um in watching him, the way he moves his feet etcetera.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Who knows how I play Once he's out there and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: is the home run pick, home run pick, well, I
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: mean has the potential. Yeah, just seeing him walking out
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: there and you see him, you hear about a size
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and the way you can move, but then you see him,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: it's okay. He is six seven, he is said body fat,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: he's in great shape and the draft guys, for you
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: draft guys, did you hope are gonna be good? And
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: he's got percentage, everything's risk. Uh, this is like a
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: great pick to me, Brian. I'm gonna talk about him later,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: so I'll pass right now, Okay, Slynn, It's it's something
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: that this guy could you know, we'll see when camp
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: comes around. Who he pushes and why. But they're in
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: pretty good shape with him. It feels like yeah, and
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: it's a position that you look at the offensive line
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and yes, the coaching staff likes where they are right now,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: but there's nothing wrong with a little competition. And I'm
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: curious to see what happens with Cam Robinson with this
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: guy pushing right behind him. I think it's a great
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: thing for the unit as a whole. I love I
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: can't wait for the first padded practice one on one's
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: him to see who he lines up again, you know
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: that whole thing. That's going to be fun to watch.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about him later, so alright, yeah, So
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: it wasn't necessarily something that I felt on the field,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: although you kind of could through Urban, just the way
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: he moved, the way that he interacted with players and coaches.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: The culture shifted last week when the players arrived, and
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: then it really hit me. I was driving while I
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: was listening to Urban and uh A, A T N
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and Lawrence on Saturday. Just the way their manner they
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: that's all they've known, right, I mean, these are guys
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: who have won at the highest level Ohio State, Florida, Clemson.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Their expectation is we're going to be here to win.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I think the question two Trevor was how are you
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: going to handle losing? I'm paraphrasing, but you know, how
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: are you gonna handle because you're you're you're off. Your
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: next loss in the regular season is your first loss
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: in the regular season. I'm gonna handle that, And just
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: it rolled right off of him. I'm not here with
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the expectation of being a rookie and losing. I'm realistic.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: But I'm I'm planning on winning. That's why I'm here,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: That's why they brought me. So it just struck me
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: that it didn't take long for the culture to shift.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Now you get the veterans in UM, they will buy
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: into this in a hearty guys like Josh Allen who
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: were so hungry for success and to win. Um. It's
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: it shifted last week. It will be even more noticeable
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: when the veterans get in here. UM. And it didn't
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: take long. No, it isn't it. I was really curious
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to see what coach Meyer's coaching style would be like
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: on the field, if he be really hands on. Really,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: he kind of just walked around and let his coaches coach.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: There was very few times when he went up to
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a player and said something. It was kind of just
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: surveying the scene, which I was impressed by. It was
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: like I saw a few times right before practice started,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the early part, he would go to a guy like
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I saw him talking to Jordan Smith a couple of
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: guys before practice like that. But once it started, it
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: felt like he's, Okay, we're just managing this thing. If
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: he needs to jump in, fine, but let him go well,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: he's he's not given to uh what has been since
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: he gotten here and ever dealt with him before, he's
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: been very transparent. And he said from day one since
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: he got here that he's not going to be particularly
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: hands on coach. And I'm paraphrase and I hope I
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: get that right, but you know what, you follow what
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. He's gonna be a guy who hires good coaches.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Let's stam handle the details. He didn't retain George Warhop
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: so that he can go coach the offensive line during practice.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: He's a Bucky Brooks on our podcast. JP has talked
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: about it at nausea. He's a program builder, he's an overseer.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: He knows how it's supposed to look and uh and
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that's his role. So certainly the practice that Slynn and
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I were so excited about um had his field because
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: he knows how it's supposed to look. When anyone looking
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: at a head coach, you're looking at somebody who comes in.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Who are you gonna hires your coordinators? What kind of
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: style are you gonna run? Well, you're gonna you're gonna
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: hire someone that's going to do that work for you.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: So that you can look at the big picture. The
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: head coach in the NFL is not the coach in
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: terms of being out there working on technique. I mean
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: they all can because they've all come through the ranks.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: But the most important thing is the guy who manages
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the whole process, which includes the media and the equipment
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: staff and the medical training staff, all of those pieces
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: in place. If he hasn't hired good coordinators, he's not
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: gonna win big things in the book here on Jaguars
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: reporters for this Monday May and single game tickets are
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: on sale now for regular season and the preseason, visit
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com or called nine oh four six three
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: three two. There's a team of representatives ready to help
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: you get back in the bank in twenty one time
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: now for did you hear this Trevor Lawrence getting used
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: to voices in his head. Yeah, it's different. Um, it's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: definitely a lot different than what I'm used to tell me.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: We signaled in college, so uh, NFL is completely different.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: But you know, I think I'm making good progress. You know,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I'm getting more I'm getting more used to hearing the
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: calls and repeating them and you know, breaking them. Up
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: to where everyone's understanding it and really being able to
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: direct guys because, um, some of the guys were just
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: trying to learn everything still. So I think that's helping
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: a lot me being able to, you know, take take
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: charge and lead a little bit there. Um, And it's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: just getting more and more comfortable with that, which which
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I am. But that just takes a bunch of reps.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: You know, to get good at something, you've got to
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: practice it a lot. And I guess I've never really
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: thought about this until Trevor disgusted after practice on Saturday.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: You know, they always used hand signals at Clemson. They
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: don't have the radios of the helmets in college. It's
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: you know, something I guess and oversight on my part, John,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: but it's something that he has to adjust to. I've been,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: you know, with voices in my head for years, right,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think you and I can both speak
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to that. That's perfectly It's and I'm dealing with something
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: right now. It's a it is an adjustment, and Urban
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: talked about it as maybe the biggest thing they're working
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: on with Trevor right now, and maybe one of the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: biggest things that he had to deal with Uh, I've
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: never been in that situation. Uh, So, I don't know
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: how difficult it is. I don't anticipate that it's gonna
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: be something that holds him back, but it's certainly one
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: of those behind the scenes things that through training camp
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: it's worth asking him about each week. I can't imagine
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: he won't doo fine because he's gonna be dedicated to
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: it and he's an intelligent kid, but it's certainly an adjustment. Yeah,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: and this is the perfect time to work on that
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: right here, right now, the acclamation period, to get that
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: nailed down. To training camp, you can make the most
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: out of every rep. What was it the Travis said
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: he was super smart? Right that the Trevor has always
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: been super smart and this this is just a blip
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: in its radar. Let's move along now to everyone asks.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: This is a portion of the podcast where I talk
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: about Walker Little. Well, we all ask a question and
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: then we all answered said question, and Brian, I think
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: you've teased it enough time. Yeah. So the question is
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: you know which player interested to the most affter this
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: last weekend, and and for me it was Walker Little.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I was standing over with Jeff Loghman and we were
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: watching and we were talking about the way that he
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: drops his hips. Uh. Jeff made note of the fact
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: that he could drop his butt almost to the ground
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: and still turn his whole body, you know, I mean
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: get really low for a six ft seven offensive tackle.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: That's a really important thing that a guy can get
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: low to get under the pads of a defensive end
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: or a tackle who lines up on the inside of him.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: So it's remarkable the flexibility that he has. And then
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: something that a term that urban Meyer used in his
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: post practice press conference was heavy hands when he hit
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the bag. You heard it from twenty yards away. I mean,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: this is to me, this guy is going to be
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the future at left ackle. And so you understand why
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: they franchised cam Robinson. They weren't sure they were going
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: to get him, and they wanted him to have the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: opportunity to come in and earn the job. Um, but
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: from what you see, there is no reason to expect
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: that that is not your long term solution at left tackle.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: That's a premium position, one of the five at least
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: that I classified as a premium position. And you got
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: him with I forget who said it after the draft
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: is here Balky or Urban that he's one of these
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: guys that makes the hard look easy at his positions,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: and Brian just spoke to being able to do that
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: is hard. He makes it look easy. I've only seen
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: what five minutes of YouTube highlights in him running around,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: but the way he moves, uh, it's when you watch
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: offensive linement over the years. The guys who sort of
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: have to work to get into position, the guys who
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: have to make themselves into players, Um, they can do it,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: but you'd rather have the guy who's put on this
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: earth to do it. This kid feels like he's put
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: on this earth. Yeah, you asked me, you said home
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: run pick earlier in the show, and I declined. If
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: he's the guy and he's a left tackle at forty
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: five in the second round, that's a grand slant. Yeah,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: it's not right. Yeah, what's your answer to the rookie
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: leaving an impression question? I will say it is Jordan's smith.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: And I will say that because it seems like he
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: was getting very heavily coached on Saturday, especially by Joe Colin,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: who the hype was real about. Joe Colins, by the way, Yeah,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I've never seen him in a practice setting before and
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: he was animated, even with eighteen guys out there. It
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: was very cool to see. But Jordan Smith, you could
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: tell they're they're working heavily to get him adjusted and
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: they see a ton of potential in him. I think
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Coach Meyer probably spoke to him more than anyone on
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the field on Saturday. So I'm curious to see how
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: quickly he adapts, but there is definitely some potential there.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: It's tall seven and did you see how long his
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: arms were? I mean, I think he had the second
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: longest a wingspan in UH in the draft this year.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I think it was like eighty four interest and big
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: hands to I mean meat cleavers for hands. You can
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: see why they tried to catch lightning and a bottle
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: with that, because if you've got that in a three
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: or four based scheme, with him coming off one edge
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: and Josh Allen coming off of another, you've got a
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: lot to contend with. And John, I think you said
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: this right after the pick and coverage, that that's worth
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: giving up your seventh round pick to move up and trust.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Especially in this draft. I mean you saw there were
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: six undrafted rookie sign UH, A lot of teams didn't
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: sign very many. The pool was not very deep once
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: he got to this free agency, and in the reality
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: is in drafts, the seventh round is simply guys who
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: you're going to sign as free agents who you don't
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: want to take a chance and pay signing bonuses too.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: So there's a little bit why not give up a
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: seventh round pick if you think you see an element
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: in this kid that you can develop. I just you know,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I've never seen him in person. So just
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the size and the speed and the ability to come
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: out of the backfield and do that stuff. Still needs
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: a little work at wide receiver. I think in the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: route running they should work him over there. Good idea.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe there was a reason you should do. You
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: have a couple of practices in the spring method method
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: to his madness that urban Meyer. John, give us your
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: everyone asked question today? Uh, well, I had an answer
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: um for the last one. Go for it. What rookie
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: left your impression on you? It wasn't Trevor beautiful the hair, No,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, we haven't talked about her walked out on
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the field. But but there he is, and that's what
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: it's real. It's real. That the amount of replies on
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Twitter to that all you have to do was posted
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: video and just say here he is, and everything's like,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, black head bands are going to explode
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the sales. I mean, unbelieve it. You know he's here.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: The way he throws all that stuff, you don't as
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: you want to get through this podcast without talking about
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: him a little bit. Uh, he didn't do that much,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: but the way he handles and stuff in the press
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: or the way he he's the guy. He knows he's
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the guy. He knows at some point he's going to
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: be the the guy. And he was putting the short
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: to do it, and you saw a presence and you
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: didn't not expect it, but it wasn't it cool to see?
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: And then when for Nette was on mute, Oh that
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: was beautiful and no one, I don't even know if
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: anyone had to tell him. It was just a natural segway.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, getting Genie right. Yeah, I will say I
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: was watching him. I was watching him throw with Marcus
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Pollard and I mean every single ball right between the eyes,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: just warming up. And he threw one that was maybe
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: at like the left cheek. It wasn't like beautifully right
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: between the eyes and he looks at Marcus and he goes,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: my bad, that's on me, and a warm up that
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: wasn't right between the ass. It was just what are
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: you doing? Yeah, come on, let's go. What's your question? John?
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: The question is and it's not the most a no
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: question one of these And I put some effort into
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: it and this is what I got. And Uh, what
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: rookie do you think it makes the biggest impact? Anyways?
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I asked this outside Lawrence, right outside Lawrence. Anyways, I
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: asked this. Now we've had a chance to see him,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: had chance to think about it a little bit um,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna, I know, we're gonna be talking about
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Walker little a lot. I don't know how much impact
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: he'll make initially, you know. So now that you've had
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: time to think about the draft a little bit, what
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: rookie or rookies do you think we'll actually have an impact?
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Because Frank, a lot of times they don't. The first
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: year Brian, Well, I think a t n you know,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: it's clear that they're going to put him, uh in
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: that role like tygreek Kill was early in his career
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: in Kansas City. They lined him up in the slot,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: they put him in the backfield, they put him in
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: a flexed position next to a tight end. He's going
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: to be that guy. And John is something you've talked
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: about for years. When you we talked about Paydon Manning,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: he always knew where Reggie was right and he knew
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: where Marvin was. Well, this is a guy who he's
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: worked with for a couple of years. He's gonna know
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: where et N is. He's going to be his safety
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: valve where he can get it all the time. So
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and and with his speed and explosiveness and understanding, I
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: just I think he's going to make the biggest impact
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: outside of and then you know, if he gets the
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: ball a few times, has some big supposed to plays defenses,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: will you know, draw to him to try to shut
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: him down, they might open up for somebody else In
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the reality for a kid like this is a rookie,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: you know, I get what people talk about during the offseason,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Well is he wh what kind of yards does he
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: have to get to? You guys have watched this team.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: We've all watched this team for four or five years.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: If somebody comes in and it's capable of having a
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: thirty yard play every two games, shifting the field like that,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: would you take it? But haven't? Right, So that's the
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: sort of impact that they want. I think would be
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: more than that. I'm not saying that, but uh, flipping
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the field like that when you haven't had it, if
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: he gives you that, if he converts the first own
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: or two, those are the moments and the big momentum
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: changing plays. They haven't had enough, and there's and there's
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: no staff for that, which is worth bringing out, you know.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I mean people won't remember necessarily in the second quarter
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: with two minutes left and you're at third and sixteen,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: that he got eighteen yards Percy Harvin's for example. And
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I didn't follow his NFL career enough, but I do
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: know that in games I watched, you worried about it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: He was necessarily in all pro, not a Pro Bowl guy.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: If you look at his stats, he didn't have fiftd
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: yards receiving in years, but he made plays that matters,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and he made plays that scared you as a defense.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: To your point, what that does for d J Chark, Yeah,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: thank you for DJ, for the sake of what it
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: was already picked. I'm gonna go Andre Cisco. I think
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: that was very much a position of Mead at safety
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: at rays Sean Jenkins and free agency. But you made
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: the argument who would be the other guy? And I
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: think Andre Cisco has a lot of upside, very underrated.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I thought in the draft and everything I've heard from
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: people who have dealt with him is this is the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: ultimate pro. And I think when we talked him in
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the press conference, we got that vibe but doing everything right,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: very professional, ready to work. UM. So I'm excited to
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: see what he brings. I asked the scout buddy about him,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: by the way, and he said to me, I he
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: couldn't pick where he would have gone had he been
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: healthy and played all year. But much higher than the
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: top of the third round was the response that he's
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: that impactful or was that impactful of a player on
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the college level at a position that you guys know
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: has become much more prominent with the the three and
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: four wide receiver sets. It's in a really important spot
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: on the defense. Let's knee right, unhurt. I think he
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: goes higher than more or right around More. I mean,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: same smell, same level. So Brian, have you yeah he
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: d t M Yeah, but that's a that's a great pick,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: thank you. Let's get Let's get his knee correct and
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: see if he can come to camp really ready to go,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and then we'll find out because he can make an
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: imp act on that defense. I'm gonna dig deep here, though,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and it's a little bit of the roll of dice,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: because you don't know about Dylan Moses. Alabama. Might get
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: here Abama because when he was healthy at a high
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: level of Alabama, he was a fantastic linebacker for that team.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Played through pain last year, knee injury two years ago.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I think he had meniscus surgery, and like February of
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: this year, will he be right for camp. He's an
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: undrafted guy. If he contributes somehow, maybe there has to
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: be special teams first. Then he finds a role in
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: a three fourth scheme here, there's a little more opportunity.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I think he could down the line be one of
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the biggest steels of this class. Well, the name that
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: comes to mind when you think about Dylan Moses is
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Jalen Smith, the Notre Dame linebacker who was injuring the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Fiesta Bowl, and they drafted him in the second round
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: in Dallas and then he didn't really play until you know,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: midway through his second year, and then all of a
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: sudden and he looks like Now, I don't know that
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: he's been consistently at that level, but he's played at
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: a very high level of times. And the Cowboys who
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: paid him, so he's been a big time Yeah. If
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: you get a Jalen Smith sort of impact from Dylan Moses. Wow,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Remember they spent a second run pick on j Smith.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: This guy comes undrafted. Holy hold on. And the other
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: thought on him is you need a lot of linebackers
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: when you play the base three four, you need a
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: lot of them. Yes, Smith, I think was a top
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: five Oh yeah, Miles Jack type talent. I think Moses
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: was maybe a an inch below that. But to your point, Brian,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: you got him for nothing, and what a huge deal
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: if he's even a second round level linebacker, And yeah,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: it would be a great pick up. Um can I
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: go with Tebow here? Now? Uh? I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: who said that? Um, I'm gonna go with j And uh.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I was a little skeptical right after the draft when
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Brian spoke of him so highly as a guy who
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: could come in right away contribute and be the base
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: of your defense. Um. I talked to his position coach
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: at USC last week, and obviously he's going to be
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: very high praise of him. But the more you look
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: at it, this is another guy much like Walker Little,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: who I think was hurt by this strange stigma of
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: opting out. Um. And I don't necessarily know why that
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: hurt guys, except perhaps the NFL just has this attitude
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: during the draft, I'm going to find something to knock
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: somebody for and find some reason to lower you. If
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: you thought that this kid, which most people did, was
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: a late first round pick, second round pick, and he
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: was available in the top of the fourth round because
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: he didn't play because of COVID, because his family had issues,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: and because the pack tin canceled the season. Um, he's
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: very very intriguing to me because they needed defensive tackle help.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: It was a bad defensive tackle class overall. But it's
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: it's not hard to envision him being a real fine
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: at the top of the fourth round. And if he is,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: what a fine. Well. Brandon Williams was the comparison that
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I made that day. The the guy who plays the
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: nose in Baltimore, and he's a really good player. Now
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: most fans don't know him because he has, you know,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: thirty eight tackles on the year. But he destroys the
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: middle of an offensive line. He creates a pile up.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: And this guy is bigger and stronger than to Fele
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry to file, is bigger than Brandon Williams. So
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: here's a guy who can not only create a pile
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: up John, but who can get some penetration. I mean,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I think it's a home run pick if he comes
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: in and plays to the level that he had played
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: before the Pac twelve canceled football. Say this, So I'm
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: walking through the hallway here on Friday, going out to practice,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: and that is a wide, large human being. And it's
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: not as as Logs and I talked about on the
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Thursday night show a lot. It's not pumped up size,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: like it's just a large human band. It's not You'd
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: rather have guys who carry it naturally, uh, because it
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: just feels like this is what they're meant to do
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: rather than having to make themselves into a player. Yeah,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: this is the guy that was brought en to stop
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the run. Pretty obvious when you just look at him,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: and they need that help. We all know that you
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: think about there's been times over the last ten years
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: where you've gone out and you looked at the team
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: had to play the Jaguars said, boy, that's a bigger team,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: and so I don't think it's gonna be the case
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: very long with this much. I think these guys want
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: to look picker, stronger, and faster than the other team.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Our next question, I'll take it, what game are you
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: most looking forward to this season on the schedule came
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: out of course last week. So I'm gonna go with
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: the home opener Week two against the Broncos. Who knows
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: what's Aaron Rodgers or not. That's another story for later
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: down the off season, whatever, But just the excitement everything
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: running out of the tunnel the first time, presumably ever
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Lawrence is the starting quarterback, Urban on the sideline with
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: the whist, the whole thing. Right Head said on um
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: that as you talked about the change of culture, the
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: first time they run out with a full stadium, everybody's
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: fired up. The Jags are one to know after coming
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: back from Houston, that's the one I'm looking forward to.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I think we think ashell it's gonna be really hot
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: to September. I heard a rookie say on the field,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: He's like, man, it's not too bad today. And it
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: was a beautiful weekend in Jacksonville. By the way, it
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: was like seventy five and breezy. I was thinking of,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: isn't that adorable? Yeah, just wait till August, buddy, You're
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: gonna love it because that home opener against the Chiefs
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: with the hottest I have ever been in my life,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: and you're from South I didn't think I was gonna
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: make it. I thought it was a goner. What will
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: I say. I'm in between week one and the lending game,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go week one because there's so much
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: hyper on this team. I was watching sports in our
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Sunday morning and there's Trevor throwing the ball and there's
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: all this excitement and build up. And you always say
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: there's that hot, flashy t in the off season, and
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: you can make the argument that Jaguars are that team
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: this season, and that's when it really becomes real. And
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I've heard people say, well, oh, this is a fourth
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: preseason game against the Houston Texans. I don't know if
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: that's the case. I mean, this is still a divisional opponent,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: and I'm really curious to see what happens when it's real,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: when all the talk is over and you have to
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: go do it now. But people are putting a w
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: in the books already because that's what I've seen. Yeah,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: seemed like one in fifteen last year. Let's get it
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: for you. Let's you start writing them down, Let's get it.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Um Well, I'm gonna go, and I hope for everybody's
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: sake that the back is healed by the time this
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: game starts, because it would be fun to see. I
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: knew you were going, Jalen Ramsey, that would be a
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: shame against this team and it would be I mean,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: all kidding aside, that's one that I'm not one that's
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: that into that sort of storyline. I joke about it.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: It's whatever, But certainly that will be one where I
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: don't think there's that many people here that are going
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: to care about it inside the building because it's been
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: the new groups. There's some players, most players don't care
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: about that. They're fine, but boy, won't the fans have
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: fun with And uh, yeah, it'll be fine. I will
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: say I would I'd like to see DJ Chark and
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Jalen because they had some really good training camp battles.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: If you can remember, I got a little chippy at times.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: DJ is not the type to get chippy. But I
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: think that'll be a great matchup to watch that week.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I'll go with them Halloween night in Seattle or Halloween
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: afternoon in Seattle. Uh. That's one of the toughest places
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: to play. It has been for the last couple of years.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: It's a long trip. Even when they weren't a great
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: team like oh nine. Uh, the Jaguars have never played
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: well out there, right. They will beat forty one to
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: nothing that day. They've been outscored like a hundred and
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: thirty and their three losses. It's it's loud as all
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: get out. It's a long trip. I mean it is
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: six full hours. And you said, well, you know you've
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: got that thing going to London. Yeah, well, I mean
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: you've got Friday and Saturday to get read. Most teams
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: now go out on Saturday. So it's long. It's loud. Um.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: They're good, Yeah, and they're good. Russell Wilson is phenomenal
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: and and but you've got a young quarterback here who
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: you want to see how he performs in the most
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: hostile of environments, and you can in any stadium in
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: the league. It doesn't get any worse than this. So
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: let's see what he does on Halloween night coming off
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: the by How we can play this? Should we take
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: our costumes and go trigger treating Saturday? Do you wear
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: him on the plane like that? Coach Mayer doesn't strike
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: me as a big costume on the plane type of guy.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna wear it. John walked on
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: the plane dress and his Pumpkins suit? What pumpkin? A ghost?
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Something like square that night? Yeah, you got it, Ashlyn?
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Take us home? Oh gosh, what's my question? Slynn? Prepared?
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Are you you're sitting by John? Now? That's why the
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: osmosis Okay's he is coming up next week? Number one
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: is Monday. And there's a kind of different ways that
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: you can go about ots. Normally we're on the field
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: for every single one of them. We're not this year.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: So what normally are you paying attention to during an
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: O t A? What's what's your goal? What are you
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: going out there trying to figure out? Brian? Uh Well,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: I mean it would be disingenuous if I said it's
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: anything but urvit Lawrence. I mean I want to watch, Uh,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: you know, he's got to earn the job. I mean
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: that any coach is going to make even the number
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: one overall pick proved that he's ready for the job,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: which means that starts next week when they're on the field,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: or this week started Friday, whenever. Um So let's just
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: see the progress that he makes from practice to practice.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: But beyond that, UM, I'm gonna watch the secondary. I
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: want to see some of these young corners and safeties, uh,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: you know, blend with the Shakille Griffins of the world,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: and see how how that unit comes together because it
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: wasn't very good last year. I think the offense as
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: a whole, what is this thing really going to feel like?
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: You know, and Trevor is the big piece of that obviously,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: but the t n the receivers, how does this thing?
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: You may not get a full picture of it, but
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: you're gonna get a better idea as we move along.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Of Okay, they're gonna use this type of attack and
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: and you know they won't throw out the whole bag.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: It's certainly in an open O t A setting. The
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: few that are open this year, that's number one for me. UM,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: with you on the secondary, like, what is the what
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: is the front of the defense look like? And you
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: won't get a whole lot of that without pads on either,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: But okay, three four, what does that really mean? Um?
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: What does that equate to on the on the practice field?
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I'm curious what that looks like? John, Yeah, I mean
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: and the front of the defense is gonna be fascinating.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: And again I don't know how much. Like JP, I
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: don't know how much we're gonna get in an open
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: O T A S. And how much you're gonna show us. Uh,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: you know the switches late before the play. You know
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: it's Baltimore scheme if you call it that, which there's
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: some elements of that is big on pre snap confusion,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: So they'll be trying to confuse us as well, I'm sure.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: But you were looking for that to see who lines
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: up where. I don't know how much of that will
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: be able to share it first until they start speaking
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: about it. Um. To Schlenn's point earlier in the show
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: that I joked about, you will be watching to see
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: how Urban runs a practice because that will be the
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: first time that we'll be able to really see what
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: they look like, how much tempo is involved. Um. I
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: think overall these questions are so tough because what you
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: want to watch is the offensive defensive line. There's not
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: that much to see inn O T A s uh.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: So I'll go with receivers. It'll be interesting to see
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: how they're gonna use E T N and that. Um,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see sort of where these receivers
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: start shaking out look form Marvin Jones DJ Shark. These
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: receivers have a lot of talent and a lot of
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: ability and a lot of potential. How it's actually gonna
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: look and who steps up as the main guys. Uh,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: we know they're gonna be. How good are they going
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: to be? How good Laviska going to be in this? Um,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: that's a fascinating group to me. Moving forward, the receivers,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: I will say, and I'll be honest, I'm going out
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: O T A when we're able to go out, and
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: I'm bringing the coaching headshots because there were so many
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: times I was on the field and I was like, man,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: I don't I know who the Dene coaches, but it
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: doesn't look like this, And that's what I'm curious about is.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I feel like we really don't know these guys that
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: well yet, and it was very cool to see how
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: they communicate and how they operate. Like we're so used
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: to seeing a different coaching staff out there. It's it's
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: a whole different ball games. Like four pages. A lot
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: of people I kept people would ask me, man I,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I can't help you. I don't know who that is.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: It was funny there was eighteen players or whatever, and
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: there's like triple the amount of people around them, and
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: hence the need for somebody to tell everybody, you know,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: what's going on and where they're going to get the
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: most out of practice. Yeah, it was I'm bringing the
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: head shots next time. Good idea. That'll do it for
• 38:54
