Speaker 1: we'll get to coming up. Blake Bortles the Jaguars. You

1:27
Speaker 1: mobile ticketing the Leonard skinnerd concert and how that's going.
1:30
Speaker 1: So all that's coming up, But today, let's start off
1:33
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars quarterback Blake Portles, who spoke today. You know,
1:37
Speaker 1: it's a different world this year than it was this
1:39
Speaker 1: time a year ago when he and Chad Hitty were
1:42
Speaker 1: battling for a starting spot. I mean, it feels good
1:45
Speaker 1: to not to not get benched this week. Um, I
1:48
Speaker 1: guess that's a positive. Um, But you know it was
1:52
Speaker 1: it didn't play good. And you know what happens at
1:54
Speaker 1: this level is if you don't play good, you know
1:56
Speaker 1: they're gonna find somebody they can play. There's your quarterback. Yeah,
1:59
Speaker 1: pretty good, right there. He's not benched. He is the starting,
2:02
Speaker 1: the franchise quarterback for this team. And it's a totally
2:06
Speaker 1: different world this year than last. Well, it certainly is
2:08
Speaker 1: within the building. I mean, I continue to be amazed
2:12
Speaker 1: at the chatter and the buzz around this kid who
2:16
Speaker 1: uh has improved dramatically and what is it now, eleven
2:21
Speaker 1: games the last season. Um, it is a different buzz
2:25
Speaker 1: in the sense that there is no thought of you know,
2:30
Speaker 1: sharing roles, trying to figure out who's the guy, and
2:34
Speaker 1: the remarkable process that happened last season of this team
2:37
Speaker 1: the players very organically embracing him and getting behind him.
2:42
Speaker 1: Uh just continues again, he's the quarterback, and I get
2:45
Speaker 1: all the Bridgewater buzz out there, but it's it's it's
2:51
Speaker 1: purely external and this guy continues to look at the
2:56
Speaker 1: part of a leader who's ready to take this thing.
2:59
Speaker 1: But you know, by the horns if you want it.
3:01
Speaker 1: Seems like he's just a good all around teammate too.
3:03
Speaker 1: He's not gonna throw his guys under the bus if
3:05
Speaker 1: things aren't going well. He'll take the blame for a
3:07
Speaker 1: lot of things, and he'll go out and work on it.
3:09
Speaker 1: He's gotten off of Twitter and all that. He stays
3:12
Speaker 1: off social media now for the most part, and he
3:14
Speaker 1: just focuses on football and getting this team better. And
3:17
Speaker 1: the guys responded certainly to that last season. Well, he's
3:21
Speaker 1: he's so over analyzed that you wonder what new there
3:24
Speaker 1: is to say about Blake, but one thing that continues
3:28
Speaker 1: to strike you whenever year around. And then I get
3:32
Speaker 1: maybe fans don't really see this and sense it because
3:35
Speaker 1: they don't see the look in the eyes when teammates
3:38
Speaker 1: talk about him. Is the level that this team believes
3:43
Speaker 1: in this guy. I hate to use the phrase wants
3:46
Speaker 1: to play for him, because all these guys want to
3:47
Speaker 1: play and do well, but there truly is a on
3:52
Speaker 1: this team and unbelievable, And I talked to both Clais
3:57
Speaker 1: and the league about this on Tuesday. I think there's
4:00
Speaker 1: an unbelievable sense on this team of whatever you do
4:04
Speaker 1: and say, we're gonna rally behind you. Remember to Sean
4:06
Speaker 1: Gibson talked about Cleveland last year and and they rallied
4:08
Speaker 1: around him. Uh. In a sense, it felt the same
4:12
Speaker 1: way when they rallied around Blake last year when other
4:14
Speaker 1: guys were talking about him. You know, more so than
4:18
Speaker 1: a lot of teams I've been around. And I'm not
4:21
Speaker 1: saying that it's been antagonistic in the locker room on
4:24
Speaker 1: other teams, but this group really likes each other, really
4:29
Speaker 1: likes playing for each other, and really feels like it's
4:33
Speaker 1: us against them. Whatever that means. However that's quantified. You
4:37
Speaker 1: can feel it, and it does feel like they like
4:40
Speaker 1: heaven Blake is their quarterback because it's like, this is
4:42
Speaker 1: our guy and we don't care what you say about
4:45
Speaker 1: And he's responded as well with some solid playing key time,
4:48
Speaker 1: certainly last year, and he's earned that. By the way,
4:50
Speaker 1: it's not like you know what, you know, we're gonna
4:52
Speaker 1: back this guy. Whatever. They see it, they know the
4:56
Speaker 1: reality of it. They know how smart he is in
4:59
Speaker 1: the offense and what he brains, and they really don't
5:01
Speaker 1: care if anybody else believes it or not. What do
5:03
Speaker 1: you want to see from this week from Blake? Uh? Well,
5:08
Speaker 1: you would love over time to see fewer of the
5:11
Speaker 1: big hiccup moments like we saw last week. I know,
5:15
Speaker 1: I think the first near interception last week had something
5:18
Speaker 1: to do with d D tripping. I probably would have
5:21
Speaker 1: been a tough pass to complete. Anyway, you'd like to
5:24
Speaker 1: see those moments not happen. But I want to see
5:27
Speaker 1: more of the same overall. With this preseason. He's had
5:30
Speaker 1: two really really really good drives. I thought he had
5:34
Speaker 1: half a good drive the other day against Minnesota on
5:36
Speaker 1: the drive afterwards. You always want to see more consistency
5:40
Speaker 1: out of him. I don't know that we ever will see,
5:42
Speaker 1: you know, maximum consistency whatever that means, full consistency as
5:46
Speaker 1: some as some readers love Um, but you want to
5:50
Speaker 1: see him continue to get in sync with the receivers
5:57
Speaker 1: and particularly Austin Seferie and Jenkins. It's probably not so
5:59
Speaker 1: much what he's what you want to see from Blake
6:02
Speaker 1: is what you want to see from the receiver's working
6:04
Speaker 1: around him and then continuing to sort of catch up
6:07
Speaker 1: with him, which is an issue. We move on to
6:09
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Brandon Lender would be surprising when he
6:12
Speaker 1: played this week, just hearing Doug Moron talk about it.
6:15
Speaker 1: They didn't want to do anything stupid, he said, and
6:17
Speaker 1: put him out there too early. So you get a
6:19
Speaker 1: feeling they might just let him get fully rested and go.
6:22
Speaker 1: And that's particularly true considering the timing of it. Um
6:26
Speaker 1: he wouldn't play next week anyway, because it's week four
6:29
Speaker 1: the preseason. I expect a couple of starters to play
6:32
Speaker 1: that week. You get the idea you might see Dante
6:34
Speaker 1: Fowler that week because he hasn't played a whole lot.
6:36
Speaker 1: Guys like that, but Lender played the first two preseason games.
6:41
Speaker 1: Considering that you could rest him this week and get
6:44
Speaker 1: two more weeks on top of that, which would be
6:47
Speaker 1: you know, basically match ap three weeks of rest for him. Uh,
6:51
Speaker 1: that would seem to be the way to go to
6:53
Speaker 1: make sure he's a percent going into uh the game
6:56
Speaker 1: against the Giant. Other guys are back this week though,
6:58
Speaker 1: Norwell and Parnell, but back on the practice field. It's
7:01
Speaker 1: a good time and it's a group that worked together
7:03
Speaker 1: a lot. The first couple of weeks of training camp
7:05
Speaker 1: eight or nine were together, I think, on the field together,
7:07
Speaker 1: and all those starting five guys, you've got an idea
7:09
Speaker 1: that they're gonna be in pretty good shape defensively. It
7:12
Speaker 1: will be our first look in a bit for Fowler
7:16
Speaker 1: and that Jalen Ramsey gets to face off against Matt
7:18
Speaker 1: Ryan and maybe Julio Jones for a little bit. And
7:21
Speaker 1: as as Tony Boselli might have been overselling it a
7:24
Speaker 1: bit the other night, maybe not um, I know, shocking,
7:27
Speaker 1: but Tony would oversell something. But he said for a
7:30
Speaker 1: preseason game, it's about as intriguing as you can get
7:33
Speaker 1: Ramsey against those guys. After what happened in the media
7:35
Speaker 1: last week. Ye, it'd be intriguing who he was gonna play.
7:37
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to so um. Yeah, I
7:41
Speaker 1: mean I want to be around for the postgame picture
7:43
Speaker 1: between Jalen and Matt coming forward it out, you know
7:46
Speaker 1: how they again in the sideline kind of hug it out. Yeah.
7:49
Speaker 1: Actually I don't think so either. A couple other notes
7:52
Speaker 1: in this football You know, the one of the big
7:54
Speaker 1: games last week was Uniqunway flashed. You know you kind
7:58
Speaker 1: of expected him to take a step. I think you
8:00
Speaker 1: wrote it earlier, maybe earlier in the week that you
8:04
Speaker 1: didn't know it was going to be that big of
8:06
Speaker 1: a step that this guy could take. Here, Pete Briscoe
8:09
Speaker 1: thinks he's going to be the defensive player of the year. Well,
8:11
Speaker 1: and you know, unique everybody who's followed this team knows
8:17
Speaker 1: the story with him, that he has a chip on
8:19
Speaker 1: his shoulder and in retrospect, rightly so for not being
8:22
Speaker 1: drafted higher, and that he plays with this incredible motivation
8:26
Speaker 1: all the time. Um. When Claias Campbell got here last year,
8:31
Speaker 1: he started talking very quickly that hey, this kid has
8:35
Speaker 1: a real chance to be the best pass rusher in
8:37
Speaker 1: the NFL Sunday. Well, I had seen Hi got with
8:40
Speaker 1: the first year, had eight sacks, and knew he was
8:42
Speaker 1: pretty good even last year. I I would say, I
8:46
Speaker 1: rolled my eyes when Klaas said it, But you wondered,
8:49
Speaker 1: can he really be that good? Can he be elite
8:51
Speaker 1: level guy? And uh I wrote today, consider this mind
8:56
Speaker 1: changed because everything you see out of this guy, the
9:01
Speaker 1: more you see it. Dominant last week in Minnesota, dominant
9:07
Speaker 1: during pass rushing drills this year, to the point where
9:11
Speaker 1: he's throwing guys around at times. Well, if he adds
9:15
Speaker 1: the ability to throw guys around to what's already an
9:18
Speaker 1: incredible edge move, Uh, what's already an incredible motor. Um, Yeah,
9:24
Speaker 1: he might be the Devins player of the year. I mean,
9:26
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I'd go that far because it's that's
9:30
Speaker 1: a tough get. But you know, boy, does this guy
9:33
Speaker 1: have a chance to be as good as there is
9:36
Speaker 1: in the league for a long time because he's just
9:37
Speaker 1: getting starts only his third year and that knack that
9:40
Speaker 1: he has for getting the ball out. I watched Freenian
9:42
Speaker 1: Mathis do it Indianapolis for a long time and it
9:44
Speaker 1: was what made those two guys special. Um maybe I
9:48
Speaker 1: didn't realize last year because I had seen those guys
9:51
Speaker 1: up close for so long how unique it is. But
9:54
Speaker 1: Unique's got it and it creates points, and that's rare
9:56
Speaker 1: on defense. And if he's not the defensive player there,
9:58
Speaker 1: there could be a couple of other and it's on
10:00
Speaker 1: this defense as well. It could be in the mix
10:02
Speaker 1: of Calais almost got it last year and you know
10:04
Speaker 1: number twenty, there's a it's it's rare to be around
10:08
Speaker 1: a team with as many guys who can create points
10:13
Speaker 1: on defense as this team has. And they've got five, six, seven,
10:17
Speaker 1: They got a handful of guys and they got them
10:19
Speaker 1: here right now. This is a window right now for
10:21
Speaker 1: this Jaguars defense. Let's get to the Twitter question of
10:24
Speaker 1: the day from earlier today on Jaguars Drive Time, they
10:28

Speaker 1: this weekend's game is on a Saturday, so we're gonna
13:42
Speaker 1: do it today. But first off, let's get to the
13:45
Speaker 1: uniform trackers so far. For in the preseason, weeks one
13:50
Speaker 1: and two of the preseason, the Jaguars go for the
13:53
Speaker 1: home game against the Saints teal and white. They lost
13:56
Speaker 1: that ball game, though, Jimmy. They go on the road
13:59
Speaker 1: to Minnesota on white end up with the W fourteen
14:03
Speaker 1: to tend to come from behind victory at the US
14:06
Speaker 1: Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. And we got question marks for
14:10
Speaker 1: the Atlanta game in Tampa Bay, and of course we'll
14:13
Speaker 1: update this is the season goes along here, so we're
14:16
Speaker 1: just gonna unveil one today. First, hold on, not get
14:18
Speaker 1: on the drum roll I'll wait for the drum roll
14:20
Speaker 1: stand by. First off, the reaction to the full white
14:24
Speaker 1: uniforms in Minnesota, well, you know that's a lot of
14:27
Speaker 1: times going to be the road uniform. I'm sure, right, yeah,
14:30
Speaker 1: especially early in the year when it's a little warmer.
14:32
Speaker 1: Um the uh, I think it looks good on the
14:36
Speaker 1: skill guys. A lot of people like that, some of
14:37
Speaker 1: the big guys, you know that the it's not real
14:40
Speaker 1: flattering on them. But but now it seemed to be
14:43
Speaker 1: a pretty good, uh, pretty good reception from from everybody. Um,
14:47
Speaker 1: you know, kind of a clean classic. Look, it's crisp,
14:50
Speaker 1: it's clean. I see whites. Yeah, that's what it is.
14:53
Speaker 1: I have an equipment question hit hit him during the week.
14:58
Speaker 1: What makes you loose sleep? What's your biggest worry? Like
15:02
Speaker 1: on a road game, I've got to make sure this
15:05
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. What's like the number one code for equipment? Guy,
15:08
Speaker 1: do not have this happen? Where is that tabboo? You
15:12
Speaker 1: don't talk about that? Well, I mean, I hopefully we
15:14
Speaker 1: show up with the uniforms and everything, but staying late,
15:17
Speaker 1: getting the whites clean, that's that's what keeps me up
15:19
Speaker 1: a while. Okay, that that can be. Uh, you weren't
15:23
Speaker 1: crazy when you saw that all white? Yeah, that's yeah
15:26
Speaker 1: kind of you know. Yeah, Luckily it was inside on
15:29
Speaker 1: the turf, so it wasn't too bad. But you know,
15:32
Speaker 1: being outside thread or rain anything like that, maybe you
15:35
Speaker 1: spending a lot of time soaking pants and scrub and
15:37
Speaker 1: it's not like you can just throw a bunch of
15:39
Speaker 1: bleach in with it, and and yeah, now that'll mess
15:41
Speaker 1: up the numbers and everything kind of get a little
15:43
Speaker 1: tendon eyes on the shoulder and all that. So not good,
15:46
Speaker 1: not good. Okay, Uh now drumroll please, this is the
15:49
Speaker 1: moment we've been waiting for, and we will do this
15:52
Speaker 1: each and every Wednesday. Jimmy, what is the uniform combination
15:56
Speaker 1: this week for the Jaguars against the Funk? All right,
15:59
Speaker 1: so we're gonna go white pants, which is you know,
16:01
Speaker 1: my favorite on the on the grass. So that'll be
16:04
Speaker 1: a good uh good weekend for me scrubbing those out
16:07
Speaker 1: the crew. And then uh, we're gonna go with the
16:10
Speaker 1: teal jerseys again. All right. So we got a little
16:13
Speaker 1: brought a little a j Bouyer here. Everybody else was
16:15
Speaker 1: giving j On some love, so I forgot to give
16:17
Speaker 1: the other the other side a little bit. So teal
16:20
Speaker 1: on white this week. Yeah, so that's uh, A lot
16:23
Speaker 1: of fans have been clamoring for the teal and I
16:25
Speaker 1: kind of like it. It It looks good. Um, so we'll
16:28
Speaker 1: do that again this week. Um. Come some of the
16:31
Speaker 1: you know, new uniform rules that the NFL allowed you
16:34
Speaker 1: to kind of do a few things out of the
16:35
Speaker 1: ordinary in the preseason. So that's been cool. We'll get
16:37
Speaker 1: a chance to get those out there a little bit.
16:39

20:06
Speaker 1: when this was going on chat and this is obviously
20:09
Speaker 1: the huge concert coming up Labor Day weekend. But that's
20:11
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Carson and Skinner boys are getting in it. Yeah,
20:13
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. They're huge fans, you know, the Jaguars,
20:16
Speaker 1: and we're huge fans of their music. Coaches made it
20:18
Speaker 1: very clear he's big fans. So to be able to
20:19
Speaker 1: bring those two together is awesome to send them off
20:22
Speaker 1: in their hometown. Fact, today we just finalize the fireworks
20:26
Speaker 1: that will shoot off on the stage as they finished
20:29
Speaker 1: their last song sending them off. So it's gonna be
20:31
Speaker 1: an amazing event. I wonder what the last song will be, John,
20:35
Speaker 1: I just want to know where the Chad singing Sweet Home? Yeah?
20:38
Speaker 1: Where was your next week? There not? So that's coming
20:45
Speaker 1: up September two, a Sunday, Labor Day weekend. Uh and
20:49
Speaker 1: a fantastic line. But of course, and you guys, the
20:53
Speaker 1: Jags have wanted to add these type of events over
20:57
Speaker 1: the coming years to increase that local revenue. This is
21:00
Speaker 1: the first, I'm guessing of many to come. Like, Yeah,
21:03
Speaker 1: we've said all along that we know that Jacksonville mobilizes
21:06
Speaker 1: around great events better than any city. We've seen it
21:09
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars, we've seen it with the Players golf tournament,
21:11
Speaker 1: and we've gone out and been able to secure this
21:13
Speaker 1: concert to prove to the music industry that we can
21:15
Speaker 1: do with live music. So we do think this will
21:18
Speaker 1: be the first of many. We'll start building the stage
21:20
Speaker 1: Monday of next week, so we have the game here
21:23
Speaker 1: this weekend and we've got to start building the stage
21:25
Speaker 1: and getting this concert ready. That's awesome. That's gonna be fantastic.
21:28
Speaker 1: Tickets on sale Jaguars dot Com and through Ticketmaster. Now,
21:32
Speaker 1: of course, we've got one home game in the books already,
21:34
Speaker 1: one coming up this Saturday, and the new thing this
21:37
Speaker 1: year is mobile ticketing, no paper tickets at all this year.
21:42
Speaker 1: What's been the response so far? Yeah, Well, you know,
21:43
Speaker 1: we're lucky enough to kick it off of the playoff
21:45
Speaker 1: game against the Bills out of necessity last year. Quick
21:47
Speaker 1: turnaround when we figured out we had that home game,
21:50
Speaker 1: We're able to execute it flawlessly. Fans got in the
21:52
Speaker 1: building quick. More importantly, we had zero fraud for our
21:55
Speaker 1: first playoff game in so many years. So mobile ticketing
21:58
Speaker 1: is done to really make it safer for the fans,
22:00
Speaker 1: right no, no fear of of scalp and counterfeit tickets. Uh.
22:05
Speaker 1: It's also easier. You can send tickets to people in
22:07
Speaker 1: one click. If they get sick, you don't have to
22:09
Speaker 1: wait till they mail them back to you and figure
22:11
Speaker 1: out how to getting me can retract everything. So it's
22:13
Speaker 1: really done as a as a fan experience and we're
22:15
Speaker 1: happy to be on the forefront of that. Are people
22:17
Speaker 1: starting to get it? There's obviously always a technology learning curve.
22:20
Speaker 1: You asked my wife about that. Um, are people getting it?
22:24
Speaker 1: Are you're getting good feedback from you are? The one
22:26
Speaker 1: thing we we challenge people to do is to pull
22:29
Speaker 1: your tickets up early. We did get with a lot
22:31
Speaker 1: of people the day before the game of the day
22:33
Speaker 1: of the game, right, go go tomorrow, pull up your tickets,
22:36
Speaker 1: save them to your mobile wallet. That's the easiest. Write
22:38
Speaker 1: your Apple wallet or your your Google pay and it
22:40
Speaker 1: makes it real easy there. We've had to walk some
22:43
Speaker 1: people through though John and and show them the step
22:45
Speaker 1: by step and made a couple of calls of my
22:47
Speaker 1: wife sharing that that number has been blacklist. Yeah, but
22:52
Speaker 1: but the key is once you once you log in
22:54
Speaker 1: that first time and the app is linked, it's simple
22:57
Speaker 1: from that point on. Chad Johnson with a senior repeat
23:00
Speaker 1: of sales and service for the Jaguars um season ticket
23:04
Speaker 1: numbers through the roof this year. Obviously, with the team
23:07
Speaker 1: coming off a fantastic run, all the amenities here at
23:09
Speaker 1: t I, a bank field, all that combined, it's a
23:12
Speaker 1: monster year in that department, right. Yeah, we we knew
23:15
Speaker 1: we had an opportunity to really capture the marketplace here
23:18
Speaker 1: and luckily we're in a position for it. We had
23:20
Speaker 1: a large staff that had been working really hard over
23:22
Speaker 1: the last number of years and and I say almost
23:24
Speaker 1: not a survival the last few years, but that put
23:27
Speaker 1: us in a position to take advantage of that. So
23:29
Speaker 1: to have the largest growth and season ticket base in
23:32
Speaker 1: the NFL shows that this market was waiting and ready
23:35
Speaker 1: and and like we've all heard, just wait till you
23:37
Speaker 1: turn the corner and watch that support, it's here. We
23:40
Speaker 1: still got a long way to go. We have to
23:41
Speaker 1: continue that success for a number of years, but there'll
23:44
Speaker 1: be a lot of new fans in the building. This year,
23:46
Speaker 1: we're hitting the thirteen thousand new season tickets sold number,
23:50
Speaker 1: so unheard of success right now, But um, we have
23:53
Speaker 1: to deliver an awesome experience in the stadium. So if
23:56
Speaker 1: they continue coming back game after game, has it been
23:58
Speaker 1: for your has been cool for your team to experience that?
24:02
Speaker 1: Because I was here in the nineties, so I knew.
24:05
Speaker 1: I was probably one of the people telling you, hey,
24:07
Speaker 1: just wait till it turns. But for the people who
24:10
Speaker 1: have just come on board in the last few years
24:12
Speaker 1: to see it, it had to have been cool for
24:14
Speaker 1: your whole department, many of whom are very new. Yeah,
24:16
Speaker 1: you know, over the last few years, we had to
24:18
Speaker 1: read your stories and create the rhetoric ourselves and talking
24:21
Speaker 1: about the team and what's going on and and how
24:24
Speaker 1: to overcome that obstacle. And now that's not now that
24:26
Speaker 1: they call excited about the team, so that the conversation
24:29
Speaker 1: starts off on a good foot, or when we're calling them,
24:32
Speaker 1: we don't have to walk through that first obstacle of
24:35
Speaker 1: what was our our one lost record last year, So
24:37
Speaker 1: the excitements there and then it's then it's our team's
24:40
Speaker 1: job to find them the right product in the right seats,
24:43
Speaker 1: and and they've had a blast. Right, listen to that
24:45
Speaker 1: bell ring and listen to everybody scream and cheer all
24:48
Speaker 1: days we're having the success. There's been a lot of
24:49
Speaker 1: fun to being a little worry. It's sad if you're
24:52
Speaker 1: between the lines, like my stories aren't as important anymore.
24:55
Speaker 1: I don't like that. I'm just going to assume and
24:59
Speaker 1: move on. There wasn't a hint there, so you go ahead.
25:02
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit back and try to recover. But good
25:04
Speaker 1: luck with that. The numbers those shows chat that the
25:08
Speaker 1: season ticket holders a lot of new ones over thirteen thousand,
25:11
Speaker 1: you said. The trick though, is moving them forward in
25:14
Speaker 1: their season ticket membership with the Jaguars year over year
25:17
Speaker 1: over year, and not just one and done right. Yeah,
25:20
Speaker 1: And typically this market has had a little bit of
25:22
Speaker 1: a higher attrition rate due to the transiency of the market,
25:25
Speaker 1: due to a lot of people coming in sampling the product.
25:28
Speaker 1: And maybe we haven't performed on the field that way.
25:30
Speaker 1: So yeah, the only way you grow your business is
25:32
Speaker 1: to to retain your season ticket holders and continue to supplement.
25:36
Speaker 1: So this year we've done that. But like I said,
25:38
Speaker 1: we've got to do that for three for more years
25:40
Speaker 1: and get us up there above you know, above league
25:42
Speaker 1: average numbers and show the market what we can do.
25:45
Speaker 1: There's not there, you know, the way the stadium is trending,
25:48
Speaker 1: you know, just the the additions here, the U s
25:50
Speaker 1: as shut clubs, the north end zone of Pet Paradise
25:54
Speaker 1: now on the south end. You're starting to get a
25:57
Speaker 1: game day atmosphere here that football is fans pastic. Of course,
26:00
Speaker 1: on the field, there's a lot of other things going
26:02
Speaker 1: on around the stadium to for a fan who might
26:05
Speaker 1: not be totally into the football game, if you have
26:07
Speaker 1: kids or whatever is going on. There's something for everybody
26:10
Speaker 1: at t I A bank Field. Well more importantly, we
26:13
Speaker 1: we've sold out of lower Bowl season tickets, so we're
26:16
Speaker 1: now we're now dealing with just the upper level. But
26:18
Speaker 1: what's made it exciting for those fans as they do
26:20
Speaker 1: know when they have the upper level ticket, they can
26:22
Speaker 1: stop in the bud Light party zone one quarter, they
26:24
Speaker 1: can head on over to Camp Run Style the next
26:27
Speaker 1: they can go check out Pet Paradise Dog Park. Uh,
26:30
Speaker 1: you know, moving around the building and not just being
26:32
Speaker 1: stuck in that seat the whole game. Has really given
26:34
Speaker 1: him a whole new value. Fantastic stuff. So here we
26:37
Speaker 1: go preseason here, game number two. I guess you're fired
26:41
Speaker 1: up for the season two, right. I don't think anyone's
26:43
Speaker 1: having more fun than we are right now. I mean what,
26:45
Speaker 1: we have a concert tomorrow, football game Saturday, a huge
26:49
Speaker 1: stadium show next week going into that Patriots game. We
26:52
Speaker 1: have three concerts Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and then our home openers.
26:56
Speaker 1: So I don't know that we could say we're having
26:57
Speaker 1: any more fun. And for me, they'll getting football back
27:00
Speaker 1: on the fields the key. Yeah, we didn't even mention
27:01
Speaker 1: Daily's place. Yeah, that's a busy schedule coming up there

31:07
Speaker 1: now for our deep track. Speaking of music, we go
31:10
Speaker 1: deep on the album to find players to watch for
31:14
Speaker 1: this Saturday's game for the Jaguars against the Atlanta Falcons. John,
31:18
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you today go first, if you like to.
31:22
Speaker 1: I've got your We've got your list, handy dandy deep
31:25
Speaker 1: track list ready to go. What do you got? Well,
31:29
Speaker 1: a couple of them aren't quite so deep. I mean
31:32
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson, Felix pretty obvious. Uh, struggled on Saturday against Minnesota.
31:37
Speaker 1: But as also wrote today in Brian Sex and Ize
31:39
Speaker 1: Quick Thoughts, it may be time to pump the brakes
31:42
Speaker 1: a little bit on panicking over Camera Robinson. He struggled
31:46
Speaker 1: against Minnesota. It was the end of a long training
31:49
Speaker 1: camp where the idea is to take legs out from guys.
31:52
Speaker 1: He looked like a fatigued player at times in Minnesota.
31:56
Speaker 1: The X factor here is I don't think we have
32:00
Speaker 1: seen that sort of game from him a lot. I
32:03
Speaker 1: don't think that's his body of work. I think he'll
32:04
Speaker 1: be fine, but I'm sure he wants to perform better
32:07
Speaker 1: on Saturday. They need the previous Saturday. Hearing him talk
32:11
Speaker 1: in the locker room yesterday, he gets the smart kid
32:14
Speaker 1: and all the potential is there he I don't worry
32:17
Speaker 1: about Cam Robinson, uh because I think this would be
32:20
Speaker 1: the motivation to step up from it, and he, at
32:23
Speaker 1: least in his past, he's been known to be able
32:25
Speaker 1: to step up to a challenge, and we'll see if
32:27
Speaker 1: you can do that again. Let's continue with your deep tracks.
32:30
Speaker 1: You got the backup corners on your list. Trey Herndon,
32:35
Speaker 1: Quentin Meeks are guys that I believe will be on
32:39
Speaker 1: the roster. I don't know if they'll get an extended
32:42
Speaker 1: look there. Big look will probably be a little bit
32:45
Speaker 1: in week four, although you know, you know, these could
32:48
Speaker 1: be guys who don't actually play a lot in week
32:49
Speaker 1: four because I think they're gonna make the team. So
32:52
Speaker 1: we'll see on that. But I put these guys on
32:56
Speaker 1: here emphasize the point that I think both of them
32:57
Speaker 1: have a really good shot of making the team. I
32:59
Speaker 1: think they'll be among the ten defensive backs who make it.
33:02
Speaker 1: They've made plays, they've been relatively consistent for rookie I
33:06
Speaker 1: think they have a chance. The next one's Blair Brown
33:08
Speaker 1: and company. The backup linebackers. I think everybody knows now
33:11
Speaker 1: I have to play better, uh I believe Jeff Loghman
33:14
Speaker 1: said earlier this week he thinks there's a chance that
33:16
Speaker 1: the entire backup linebacker crew could be new, could be resigned.
33:20
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go that far, but this is a
33:22
Speaker 1: group behind Leon, Jacobs, Jack and Smith that it needs
33:26
Speaker 1: to play better, and it's it's worth watching on Saturday
33:29
Speaker 1: see if that happened. Donald Payne is in that mix
33:32
Speaker 1: company as well. And then they as brooks Ellis, who
33:35
Speaker 1: was a guy who was playing well, left the game.
33:37
Speaker 1: So that's a little bit of a blow. Um, So
33:41
Speaker 1: you can't be deep everywhere. Uh My gut is that
33:45
Speaker 1: one of these guys will make the roster and be
33:48
Speaker 1: better than people think. But maybe I'm just you know me, Jpmassa, Yeah,
33:54
Speaker 1: of course, all the time you have the tight end.
33:56
Speaker 1: Austin Seferian Jenkins on your list as well, and well,
33:59
Speaker 1: no catches that the looks the first week didn't dress
34:02
Speaker 1: out last week. He's gotta get in the offense at
34:05
Speaker 1: some point. Yeah, then no looks. The first week it
34:08
Speaker 1: was a one drive game for the first team offense.
34:10
Speaker 1: So I don't worry about that that much. I don't
34:13
Speaker 1: see any way in the world that he's not a factor.
34:17
Speaker 1: From watching practice, watch from watching what they want to do.
34:21
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be key for Blake Bortles. Uh.
34:25
Speaker 1: More concerned about him staying healthy then worrying about whether
34:29
Speaker 1: or not a fit in the offense, because I think
34:31
Speaker 1: he will. But this tight end group is going to
34:33
Speaker 1: need him on the field. He's the one guy who
34:36
Speaker 1: is close to a prototypical block and pass. You don't
34:40
Speaker 1: know when he's in the game. You don't know what
34:43
Speaker 1: they're gonna do with the other guys. Uh. They are
34:47
Speaker 1: either past receivers or lockers, so it sort of tips
34:49
Speaker 1: the hand a little bit about what they're gonna do.
34:50
Speaker 1: But I'm looking forward to seeing him in the offense
34:52
Speaker 1: this week and then your final one Dante Fowler Jr.
34:55
Speaker 1: First real look at him in the game. Yeah, and
34:58
Speaker 1: again I don't think there's much of a miss street.
35:00
Speaker 1: I don't worry about Dante getting back to the level
35:04
Speaker 1: that he showed last year. He's a guy whose motor
35:07
Speaker 1: is always going. He plays hard, he's physical, all those things.
35:11
Speaker 1: But Doug hinted a little bit this week that he
35:15
Speaker 1: could play some in Week four, that that that was
35:18
Speaker 1: a better question for Week four best playing time. So yeah,
35:22
Speaker 1: I think he'll play a lot this week and then
35:24
Speaker 1: he might get a series in week four. Uh. He's
35:28
Speaker 1: worth watching because when he plays, he plays hard. There
35:31
Speaker 1: are your five something? What are your five peak? I'm
35:35
Speaker 1: glad you asked, John, because some of them are pretty similar.
35:38
Speaker 1: This week this is this is the dress rehearsal game.
35:40
Speaker 1: You see a lot of the front line guys go deep,
35:42
Speaker 1: So we might not be as deep on the tracks
35:44
Speaker 1: as we would, especially if you're gonna say, Jalen Ramsey
35:47
Speaker 1: is your first deep track, first time back off the suspension.
35:51
Speaker 1: What's the Matt Ryan situation gonna be? Does Julio play?
35:55
Speaker 1: Both of those matchups are interesting to watch and to
35:58
Speaker 1: hear Tony Boselli tell it. You know Tony's wired different,
36:01
Speaker 1: we all know that. But he said, if it's a
36:04
Speaker 1: Super Bowl preseason game the backyard. If somebody called him trash,
36:09
Speaker 1: he would play a little extra against him. So we'll
36:12
Speaker 1: see if Matt Ryan has that same kind of attitude
36:14
Speaker 1: against Jalen Ramsey. I think you would. Yeah, And again
36:17
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the postgame page. I agree with
36:19
Speaker 1: that one. Cam Robinson for all the reasons we touched
36:23
Speaker 1: on just a moment ago, and as I said, you know,
36:26
Speaker 1: his mindset is there. He he knows how to play
36:29
Speaker 1: the position. It's just some little technical things right now
36:32
Speaker 1: that he's working through. And I feel like there's enough
36:34
Speaker 1: good coaching to to help him through that here at
36:37
Speaker 1: both on the staff and on the broadcast crew too,
36:40
Speaker 1: with Tony kind of being around. So I think, Cam, yeah,
36:44
Speaker 1: it's something to watch this week. But in the long run,
36:46
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be okay at left tackle. Dante
36:48
Speaker 1: Fowler back in the mix, Tavin Bryant, first time we've
36:52
Speaker 1: seen him. He's been off to the side. Um little
36:55
Speaker 1: abdominal thing. But he's back and ready, and you know
36:59
Speaker 1: he looks the part, the size, the strength. You just
37:02
Speaker 1: gotta go do it in a game against another team, though,
37:04
Speaker 1: I'm curiously how much he plays you wonder if there
37:09
Speaker 1: might be some easing back just because you don't want
37:12
Speaker 1: to mess up that injury again, but usually their ms
37:16
Speaker 1: if a guy's back, he's back. So you saw right there.
37:19
Speaker 1: He's got great hands, quickness, size, all the tools, and uh,
37:25
Speaker 1: if what they're saying about his profession, excuse me about
37:28
Speaker 1: his professionalism and his approach is correct, then with those
37:33
Speaker 1: tools and he's got a rare ability to get off
37:38
Speaker 1: the ball quickly in that position. If you've got that
37:42
Speaker 1: and you're willing to put in the time to learn
37:45
Speaker 1: how to play it, then it's difficult to not succeed.
37:50
Speaker 1: And then my final one one you picked as well
37:53
Speaker 1: Austin Safari and Jenkins, but I think you could go
37:55
Speaker 1: the entire tight end room there because the way they
37:57
Speaker 1: touched the ball the last couple of weeks, you know
37:59
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a big part of this offense. We
38:02
Speaker 1: haven't seen a lot of the wide receiver down the
38:04
Speaker 1: field stuff yet. We saw a little of that last
38:06
Speaker 1: week or throw the Marquis Lee and that. There's been
38:08
Speaker 1: a lot of tight end and screen heavy stuff right now.
38:12
Speaker 1: I think they'll open the playbook up obviously once the
38:14
Speaker 1: regular season gets here a little bit more. I always
38:16
Speaker 1: tend to leave offensive line off of lists like this
38:19
Speaker 1: in the preseason because my experience tells me it's so
38:23
Speaker 1: difficult to accurately judge an offensive line during the preseason
38:26
Speaker 1: because they don't get a they're not usually scheming a
38:29
Speaker 1: whole lot. They'll game plan some this week, but this
38:32
Speaker 1: the level of scheming, the level of game planning is
38:35
Speaker 1: usually not the same as is you're in the regular season,
38:37
Speaker 1: and it's so important for that group, and they don't
38:40
Speaker 1: often play an entire game, and often with an offensive line,
38:43
Speaker 1: you've got to see him for the entire game, even
38:45
Speaker 1: stretches of games to get into a rhythm. So but
38:49
Speaker 1: considering this will be the first time we see Norwell
38:52
Speaker 1: in part now, if they play, they won't have Linder,
38:55
Speaker 1: I don't think so. You would like to see some continuity,
38:58
Speaker 1: a chance for the guy that you watched on the screen,
39:00
Speaker 1: Norwell to get some reps next to Cam Robins and
39:04
Speaker 1: see how much his presence helps. I don't think we
39:07
Speaker 1: really need to see Parnell. We know what Parnell is.
39:09
Speaker 1: As long as Jerremy Partnell is healthy, he's fine at
39:12
Speaker 1: right tackle. So but a chance to see those guys
39:15
Speaker 1: working together at least one time in a game. The
39:19
Speaker 1: four outside of Lender, it's worth watching. It'll be fun.
39:23
Speaker 1: Jags and the Falcons coming up tomorrow. Are you what's tomorrow? Thursday?
39:28
Speaker 1: You're a Monday Wednesday Friday lifetime Monday Wednesday Friday Drivetime, guys,
39:33
Speaker 1: I'll be on Friday. Okay, so that's not tomorrow. That's
39:35
Speaker 1: two days from them. I'll probably roll either rack around one,
39:38
Speaker 1: come on in a little late lunch, you know, hang out,
39:41
Speaker 1: watch a little ball stop for Smoothie on the way
39:43
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's pretty good little day and the It's
39:46
Speaker 1: drive time tomorrow morning. Brian Sexton Ashelan Sullivan minus John Oser.
