  [SPEAKER_00]: It's Tuesday July 7th right now We are talking
• 0:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Stars.
• 0:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do the Jaguars have enough star power on their roster right now to win the Super Bowl?
• 0:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think they clearly have enough star power and just well roundedness when it comes to the roster, when it comes to the coaching staff and the culture to win a lot of football games and to be competitive in the playoffs.
• 0:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: But do they have enough star power to win the Super Bowl?
• 0:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: At the end of the day, when the
• 0:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: One team that's happy at the end of the season gets to lift that Lombardi trophy, usually that is a team that has plenty of star power and is well rounded enough to not have any major major weaknesses.
• 0:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think the Jaguar is currently looking at their roster and coaching staff that they have a major weakness.
• 0:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't.
• 1:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, do they have enough stars?
• 1:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that that's a fair question.
• 1:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so we're gonna dive into that here today.

• 1:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: So who are the current stars on the Jaguars roster?
• 1:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Trevor Lawrence, you have a quarterback who scored what 30, 8 or 39 touchdowns last year, MVP finalists, unbelievable athlete and, you know, just his ability to put the football
• 1:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Josh Heinz Allen is also a star.
• 1:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know there's a lot of detractors and they say he's around Jacksonville when it comes to Josh Heinz Allen, but the bottom line is when you watch him play and you actually know what you're looking for and you then compare that with the stats.
• 2:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is a star football player.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: He is in a lead edge defender when it comes to
• 2:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: the run when it comes to effort and he is also one of the most productive past pressures at the edge spot in the NFL over the last four years.
• 2:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's a star.
• 2:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: He absolutely is.
• 2:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: He has the ability to take over football games to dominate his opponent and to be the best player on the field.
• 2:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think you can say that about Trevor Lawrence and Josh Heinz Allen.
• 2:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Beyond that,
• 2:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: This player is, is this player a star, you know, question marker?
• 2:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Are they?
• 2:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
• 2:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I do think it's fair to point out.
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Special teams does impact games and the jag wars have a absolutely star-studded special teams unit.
• 2:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: And to me, I think you can count that as like a star.
• 3:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I do.
• 3:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Cam, little Logan Cook, Ross Matasick, Heath Farwell Coaching up all the coverage units.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that their special teams counts as a star.
• 3:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really do.
• 3:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: But beyond that, actual individual players that can just take over moments and dominate.
• 3:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Travis Hunter is that player.
• 3:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I do.
• 3:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: On the defensive side of the ball right now, I think that corner he is.
• 3:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: And again, you've got a lot of other good players that are not stars.
• 3:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: That, you know, maybe in a given moment, they can play like stars.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: In a given game, they can play like stars.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I don't think that they are like truly star-level players.
• 3:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're very, very good.
• 3:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Eric Armstead, foe, Lua Ken, Buster Brown.
• 3:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think you talk about Colby and Lannon if he's healthy.
• 3:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: You talk about Jacobi Myers, right?
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: is Britain's strange star level player.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
• 4:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's a very, very good player.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: See, a star tied end?
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's close to it.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: But Travis Hunter, I think, is a star corner right now.
• 4:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he is ready to be a CB1 in contention with some of the best cornerbacks in football very quickly this year.
• 4:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so I would, I think objectively, you can say Trevor Lawrence, Josh Hines Allen,
• 4:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I subjectively do believe Travis Hunter is going to be in that this year.
• 4:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just, I mean, based on what I saw him do last year at the corner back position.
• 4:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I also think there's several players that have the opportunity to vault themselves into that level.
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: A couple that are really interesting here.
• 4:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Parker Washington and Antonio Johnson.
• 4:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Parker Washington played like a star down the stretch for the Jaguars.
• 4:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: We talked about it a lot, like over his last 10-11 games.
• 5:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was putting up numbers close to the top of the league, despite being in a passing offense that was still spreading the ball around a ton.
• 5:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: He has the ability to win at all three levels.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: He has the ability to win in contested catch situations.
• 5:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: He has yacca ability, he has special teams value.
• 5:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Based on what we saw, the back half of last year, Parker Washington did play like a star.
• 5:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
• 5:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: But can you take half of the season and say that that's a star player?
• 5:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's where the question mark comes with Parker Washington.
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Subjectively, I think he's going to continue to play like a star.
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: The exact same thing happened on defense with Antonio Johnson.
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely, play like a star for half a season.
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't a starter before that.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: He just wasn't.
• 5:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: But he tied for the AFC lead and interceptions.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was a consistent run defender.
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was not having mental mistakes.
• 6:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: he was awesome all over the field and very very versatile in terms of his alignment and assignment for Anthony Campanile is he a star player based on the back half of last year he absolutely was but can you say that he is a star player moving forward for sure
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's hard to say that based on what you saw last year, but I think, you know, he played through injury.
• 6:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is he a star player?
• 6:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he could be this year, absolutely.
• 6:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, Liam Cohen has challenged him to be that, publicly and privately.
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: And, Liam Cohen gave him a lot of kudos after, you know, this offseason program wrapped up and said he did a lot of what he was expecting him to do.
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that was like dominate practice, make it difficult for the offense to execute and get accomplished what they want to accomplish on a given day when Trayman Walker is on the field.
• 7:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can he take that next step?
• 7:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then, I honestly really do believe Anton Harrison is a star tackle.
• 7:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just can you develop a little bit more consistency this year?
• 7:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, but overall, I think he was awesome last year for the Jaguars.
• 7:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Both in the run game and as a past blocker, he's got all the tools.
• 7:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's one player who I mean, Will Anderson has talked about him being maybe the best tackle that he's gone against.
• 7:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: And everybody considers Will Anderson one of the very best players in the game today, and Anton Harrison, they've had battles, they've gone back and forth.
• 7:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's like neither guy really wins the day when those two players go up against each other.
• 7:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's just a slug fest.
• 7:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that says a lot to me, and I just think Anton has that ability to be a star for sure.
• 8:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then,
• 8:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: BTJ, a player we talk about all the time, can he return to form NBA star?
• 8:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: He has shown for a year he can be a star, can he do it again?
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can he do it again?
• 8:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he can, I think he can do it.
• 8:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's really the question though.
• 8:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so with the Jack Wars like, do they have the star power to win the big one?
• 8:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: I honestly think that we don't know the answer yet.
• 8:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's possible.
• 8:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: With all the players we just talked about, it is very possible that we're sitting here in October, November and saying, the jag wars are absolutely loaded with stars.
• 8:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's also possible that you're saying, in November, December, what's the one missing piece?
• 9:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they are loaded with stars in good players throughout.
• 9:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Matthew Stafford, Pukinakua, Devontae Adams, Miles Garrett, McDuffie.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, those are some of the biggest stars at their respective positions in football, not to mention all the other good players that they have.
• 9:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I think the Seahawks would JSN with, I think Charles Cross is a star tackle with what they have on the defensive front with Bayern Murphy who is a star with Devin Wither Spoon on the back end.
• 9:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Julian Loves is a star level saved.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: So like, in a lot of good players around them, do the Jaguars have the stars.
• 9:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: I want to say that they do, but I honestly do think
• 9:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: When it comes to winning a Super Bowl, hosting a Lombardi trophy, do they have enough star power?
• 10:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's to be determined.
• 10:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would definitely put them with the class of the AFC.
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can they handle the class of the NFC?
• 10:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: If the LA Rams are who they, that we think that they are, and basically I think that will happen as long as they don't suffer catastrophic injuries, can a team from the AFC?
• 10:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can the Jacksonville Jaguar's match up with their star talent?
• 10:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
• 10:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to find out.
• 10:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Really appreciate y'all tuning in.
