2:14
Speaker 1: Tenson XLAM the Jaguars dot Com Jaguars social media Twitter, Facebook,
2:18
Speaker 1: and YouTube and on Twitter at JP Shadwick at logs
2:21
Speaker 1: five to six because you're a huge social media Maven.
2:25
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm real big into that. So hit
2:28
Speaker 2: us up on there. We'll be here for the next
2:30
Speaker 2: couple of hours.
2:31
Speaker 1: Of course, the Jaguars made an epic run on the
2:34
Speaker 1: stretch run in a while playoff comeback last season, but
2:37
Speaker 1: fell short in the Division round in Kansas City.
2:41
Speaker 2: Well we know this logs.
2:42
Speaker 1: For quarterback Trevor Lawrence, motivation is never an issue anyway,
2:46
Speaker 1: self motivated, all of that. But head coach Doug Peterson
2:49
Speaker 1: in his first address to the media of this training
2:52
Speaker 1: camp set, he's seen even more focused from number sixteen.
2:57
Speaker 3: His motivation has change, is probably enhanced a little bit more.
3:02
Speaker 3: You know, I think the guys, guys understand that they
3:06
Speaker 3: can be a good football team. He understands that this
3:09
Speaker 3: can be a good football team. And we just got
3:12
Speaker 3: to focus on that right, focus on us and and
3:15
Speaker 3: continue the process and continue the hard work. But he's
3:18
Speaker 3: he's in a really good place, you know, kind of
3:22
Speaker 3: to your point with the with the offense and stuff.
3:24
Speaker 3: We do lean on him, we do ask you know,
3:26
Speaker 3: him what he likes and doesn't like and try to
3:29
Speaker 3: refine it to the things that that the players like,
3:33
Speaker 3: you know, and that's that's a sign of you know,
3:39
Speaker 3: the I think the confidence that they have in us
3:42
Speaker 3: and we have in them that we can have these
3:44
Speaker 3: communications and conversations.
3:46
Speaker 1: Of course, that's head coach Doug Peterson. And yes it's
3:49
Speaker 1: year three for Trevor. Year two in this system, the
3:52
Speaker 1: baseline offense is in. They can just build from their logs.
3:56
Speaker 2: Yeah.
3:56
Speaker 1: I had a conversation with Press Taylor and the ota
3:58
Speaker 1: is about that very top picking about where you can
4:01
Speaker 1: go with the offense in year two, and he just said,
4:04
Speaker 1: it's amazing how many things that we didn't do last
4:08
Speaker 1: year just because we did want to add too much
4:11
Speaker 1: to the plate, so to speak, of all the players
4:13
Speaker 1: in the offense. And he goes in, especially when you
4:16
Speaker 1: have a young quarterback. He said, though, but now that
4:18
Speaker 1: you're year in, year two in the system, he said,
4:20
Speaker 1: there's a lot of situations to where you can allow
4:23
Speaker 1: that quarterback to change plays or get into better formations
4:27
Speaker 1: to be to have that flexibility to put you in
4:31
Speaker 1: the best position that you possibly can be in. And
4:35
Speaker 1: people are trying to think of something that could be
4:37
Speaker 1: maybe draw parallel to think of Peyton Manning Okay and
4:40
Speaker 1: what he was able to do at the line of scrimmage. Now,
4:43
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be maybe to that extent,
4:45
Speaker 1: because Peyton had been around for a long time there
4:47
Speaker 1: at the end where we would watch him do whatever
4:49
Speaker 1: he wanted to do. But things like that where Trevor
4:53
Speaker 1: can have the ability to change plays and then also
4:57
Speaker 1: maybe adjust routes on the fly, which last year you
5:00
Speaker 1: had no ability to do very little. I think towards
5:03
Speaker 1: the end of the season you might have seen a
5:05
Speaker 1: little more of that. He grew into it as the
5:07
Speaker 1: season went along, and the receiving corps has a lot
5:10
Speaker 1: to do with that too. Do they have above the
5:13
Speaker 1: shoulders ability to be able to flip routes without moving
5:16
Speaker 1: and know everything in the offense. And that was a
5:18
Speaker 1: big key to the success, certainly in December. And I
5:21
Speaker 1: also think that a lot of times it's not a
5:24
Speaker 1: matter of Trevor having the language to be able to
5:27
Speaker 1: change a place. Sometimes things are changed with just a
5:30
Speaker 1: little wink in a nod, you know, a little bit
5:33
Speaker 1: of body language. And so there's also familiarity with the
5:37
Speaker 1: players amongst themselves, on top of the familiarity with the
5:40
Speaker 1: system that will allow them to take this offense to
5:44
Speaker 1: another level. And I really believe that this offense can
5:46
Speaker 1: go to another level for a lot of reasons. Number one,
5:49
Speaker 1: it's here, two of the system, and then also the
5:52
Speaker 1: quality of the players. I think they're taking a huge
5:55
Speaker 1: step up. They've added some pieces to this offense that's
5:58
Speaker 1: going to provide not only front line help, but then
6:01
Speaker 1: also the depth that is necessary to be able to
6:04
Speaker 1: maintain a certain level of performance throughout a season. The
6:07
Speaker 1: rookie class so far looks good and the limited opportunity
6:10
Speaker 1: that we've been able to see them and the veterans
6:13
Speaker 1: like you talked about the impact that Calvin Ridley has
6:15
Speaker 1: had almost felt immediately. I mean that's real. I mean
6:19
Speaker 1: that's something that you can feel, and it's exciting to
6:22
Speaker 1: have components that may be able to step in and
6:25
Speaker 1: contribute right away. And a lot of it too, Lugs
6:27
Speaker 1: is that. I mean, some of these guys obviously have
6:30
Speaker 1: been in the weight room in the off season well.
6:32
Speaker 1: And the guy that really stood out to me from
6:35
Speaker 1: that aspect was Trevor himself, and I talked with him
6:38
Speaker 1: yesterday after practice, the first practice, and I said, man,
6:41
Speaker 1: I said, you look bigger and he said that last
6:44
Speaker 1: year he finished up the year about two seventeen and
6:47
Speaker 1: he's six y six, right, and he's every bit of
6:50
Speaker 1: six six, Yes, okay. And I said, well, where are
6:52
Speaker 1: you at now? He said, you know, he goes, I'm
6:53
Speaker 1: right around two twenty five. And that's you know, that's great.
6:56
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, for a quarterback, and you want
6:59
Speaker 1: to be able to have your quarterbacks to be able
7:01
Speaker 1: to withstand a full season. Maybe a little I'm not
7:03
Speaker 1: saying an extra bulk, but a little extra cushion, a
7:05
Speaker 1: little bit of extra oomph for them to be able
7:08
Speaker 1: to have the durability to go through a season. And JP,
7:11
Speaker 1: I don't know if you have the opportunity. Did you
7:14
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to watch that quarterback series on Netflix?
7:17
Speaker 2: I have not seen it yet.
7:19
Speaker 1: I highly recommend it to anybody who was a fan
7:21
Speaker 1: of football. And Peyton Manning was the executive producer and
7:24
Speaker 1: they followed three quarterbacks through the season and last year
7:27
Speaker 1: they followed Marcus Mariota Atlanta Falcons, Kurt Patrick Mahomes of
7:33
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Sheep Chiefs, and then Kurt from the
7:37
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings, Oh Cousins, Kirk Cousins. They followed those three
7:41
Speaker 1: guys through the season and really kind of showed what
7:44
Speaker 1: they go through on a day to day basis and
7:46
Speaker 1: a little glimpse into the life of what it's like
7:48
Speaker 1: to play quarterback from personal standpoint, but then also a
7:51
Speaker 1: professional standpoint. Man, this is must see TV to me,
7:57
Speaker 1: just because I've always said this that the quarterback position
8:02
Speaker 1: is the hardest position to play in all of sports,
8:05
Speaker 1: and so when you get one, it makes you so
8:07
Speaker 1: grateful and appreciative of having a franchise quarterback, and that's
8:11
Speaker 1: what Trevor is and I can't wait for a year two.
8:14
Speaker 1: But again, recommend that series. So are you're trying to
8:17
Speaker 1: talk him into doing the show or something?
8:18
Speaker 2: Is that no? No, no, no, Look, I thought.
8:20
Speaker 1: That was part of your conversation trev Hey, I don't
8:23
Speaker 1: talk Marissa into it.
8:24
Speaker 2: That'd be great and be part of it. I think
8:26
Speaker 2: it would be awesome.
8:27
Speaker 1: I mean, and then obviously a lot of Jaguar fans
8:29
Speaker 1: would love to be able to take a glimpse into
8:31
Speaker 1: the life of a Trevor Lawrence and what it's like
8:33
Speaker 1: to play quarterback. For the Jacksonville Jaguars. I don't I
8:36
Speaker 1: haven't heard any reports on who the topics would be
8:40
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, and maybe they're going to keep
8:44
Speaker 1: that quiet, but it would be exciting to watch it again.
8:47
Speaker 2: I can tell you that I was. I thoroughly enjoyed.
8:49
Speaker 2: You know, I was never a.
8:50
Speaker 1: Big fan of Kirk Cousins until I watched the series,
8:54
Speaker 1: and then I gained an appreciation for him as a player,
8:59
Speaker 1: and because he was always he's always been kind of
9:02
Speaker 1: one of those middle of the road quarterbacks that kind
9:04
Speaker 1: of gives you teases and glimpses of of he could
9:07
Speaker 1: maybe take you a little bit farther. And I always
9:10
Speaker 1: kind of slided him a little bit because he wasn't
9:12
Speaker 1: able to take his football team to that next level yet.
9:15
Speaker 1: But I definitely gained a higher level of appreciation for
9:18
Speaker 1: him after watching that. Jacks fans want customized Jaguars furniture

Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour on Tenson XL, Jaguars dot com, Jaguars
9:32
Speaker 1: social media, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Let's touch on some
9:36
Speaker 1: of the weapons around said quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Of course,
9:40
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram signed his deal, tight end our Christian kirksa
9:44
Speaker 1: Jones are back in the fold and looking strong so far.
9:47
Speaker 1: And we've mentioned it already. Calvin Ridley should off in
9:50
Speaker 1: the first practice Wednesday. That stop startability. His just pure speed,
9:55
Speaker 1: the hands, the catch radius, everything you wanted. I think
9:59
Speaker 1: you got to start with one thing with him, work
10:02
Speaker 1: ethic because when you watch him work, Jap he reminds
10:05
Speaker 1: me very much of Zay Jones and Christian kirk And
10:08
Speaker 1: here's a guy that's gonna fit right in because he
10:10
Speaker 1: has that same desire for greatness and he puts in
10:14
Speaker 1: the time and the hard work.
10:15
Speaker 2: And that's important.
10:16
Speaker 1: Because you know, when you have a new guy and
10:18
Speaker 1: you add this guy to your culture, you want to
10:20
Speaker 1: make sure that he's gonna fit, you know, and he's
10:23
Speaker 1: not gonna be this you know, Prima Donna or Diva
10:26
Speaker 1: Diva wide receiver and that's not what he is now.
10:29
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been impressive in the short amount of
10:31
Speaker 1: time that we've had a look in OTA's and then
10:33
Speaker 1: also this started training camp, he's been impressive and that's
10:37
Speaker 1: what I was really looking to see and I've been
10:39
Speaker 1: thoroughly impressed. Trevor Lawrence after practice Wednesday at one on
10:43
Speaker 1: what numbers zero has to offer.
10:47
Speaker 2: Well, he runs.
10:48
Speaker 4: There's not many guys like that, especially in and out
10:49
Speaker 4: of his breaks, and you know, he's just really crafty,
10:52
Speaker 4: obviously great ball skills and then just you haven't even
10:55
Speaker 4: seen it yet because we're not in pads and we're
10:56
Speaker 4: not full contact, but I think after the catch he's
10:59
Speaker 4: really really good too. So and you know, in spring
11:02
Speaker 4: we were still kind of working them in so we
11:03
Speaker 4: didn't get you know, a ton of reps. So now
11:05
Speaker 4: that we're camp, we're full go. I'm excited just to
11:08
Speaker 4: continue to build on that. He's going to fit in
11:10
Speaker 4: really well with that group, you know, with Zay and
11:12
Speaker 4: Ag and Christian and Evan and all the other receivers.
11:15
Speaker 2: He's gonna fit in great well.
11:16
Speaker 1: I think he spoke with some of the media after
11:19
Speaker 1: practice today, so you'll see some quotes coming out from
11:22
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley. But obviously we know his track records so
11:26
Speaker 1: far in the NFL just a few years in, played
11:30
Speaker 1: five games two years ago, missed all of last season.
11:33
Speaker 1: So you said it logs the work ethic is there
11:36
Speaker 1: to prove to everybody that he's a top level, top
11:39
Speaker 1: flight NFL receiver. He showed it with a broken foot
11:43
Speaker 1: before already he said he's healthy. Now, he's motivated more
11:46
Speaker 1: than ever and all that should combine at least hopefully
11:50
Speaker 1: to a big start of the season. Yeah, And talking
11:53
Speaker 1: to him yesterday, you know, and you're standing next to him,
11:55
Speaker 1: He's not real big, And I think that's the one
11:57
Speaker 1: thing that stands out a little bit is that he's
12:00
Speaker 1: not real big. And he's a little bit taller than
12:02
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, but he doesn't have that bulk that Christian has.
12:05
Speaker 1: He's listed at six, yeah, but he looks slighter than that.
12:11
Speaker 1: If he's six, then I mean he's he's tough as
12:14
Speaker 1: nails to get to that weight.
12:16
Speaker 4: You know.
12:16
Speaker 1: The one thing I'm excited about with the addition of
12:20
Speaker 1: him to this football team because I mean, first of all,
12:22
Speaker 1: his talent has shown through, and look, it's a long
12:25
Speaker 1: road and so you still want to see a lot
12:27
Speaker 1: more out of him. But what I love about Calvin
12:30
Speaker 1: is the work ethic, but also what he's going to
12:33
Speaker 1: be able to do to this offense to help others. Okay,
12:37
Speaker 1: for example, now that you're going to have Calvin Ridley,
12:40
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, Za Jones. That's three incredible weapons. But what
12:43
Speaker 1: that's going to do to the dynamic of the offense.
12:46
Speaker 1: It's going to allow one thing, which is important. You're
12:50
Speaker 1: going to stretch the field and it's going to create
12:52
Speaker 1: space for everybody else just because he has vertical speed
12:55
Speaker 1: and he has a vertical threat ability. But Christian Kirk
12:59
Speaker 1: can now in the most comfortable position where he is
13:02
Speaker 1: the most effective at and that's the slot. And that's
13:05
Speaker 1: where that's where Christian can make hay and make people pay.
13:09
Speaker 1: And so I'm excited about that. And then with Zay
13:12
Speaker 1: on the outside, and then you know, let me add
13:14
Speaker 1: another name to it, Tim Jones. I think Tim Jones
13:17
Speaker 1: is going to be a guy that, you know, look,
13:19
Speaker 1: if there's injury at any point of the season with
13:21
Speaker 1: some of these guys, I think he's a guy that's
13:23
Speaker 1: going to be able to not only give you a
13:26
Speaker 1: lot of help on special teams from that wide receiver position,
13:29
Speaker 1: but if you have a man down for a week, Okay,
13:31
Speaker 1: one guy goes down, which happens, you know he's gonna
13:35
Speaker 1: have the ability to step up. And I see an
13:37
Speaker 1: increased role for him this year to that capacity. Second
13:41
Speaker 1: year player out of Southern Mississippi. His hometown is Biloxi,
13:44
Speaker 1: I believe. And he's six one, two hundred pounds. And yeah,
13:47
Speaker 1: we've seen him running around with some of those perceived
13:51
Speaker 1: first team receivers already, which is a good thing. And
13:54
Speaker 1: uh yeah, the special teams obviously will be key because
13:57
Speaker 1: there there aren't many spots in the wide receivers a
14:00
Speaker 1: room at.
14:00
Speaker 2: Least for the five or six.
14:02
Speaker 1: Look, yeah, you're you're gonna have an uphill battle to
14:05
Speaker 1: gain a roster spot.
14:07
Speaker 2: We'll say that.
14:08
Speaker 1: Also, the young rookie Parker Washington from Penn State is
14:12
Speaker 1: like it looked good so far in camp and he's
14:15
Speaker 1: so he's built like a running back, I mean literally
14:18
Speaker 1: and his heightweight five ten, two twelve. Okay, that's what
14:22
Speaker 1: they have I'm officially listed as. And when he was
14:25
Speaker 1: at Penn State, he was kind of one of those
14:26
Speaker 1: slot receivers and they threw him the ball a ton
14:30
Speaker 1: with a short distance throw and then allowed him to
14:33
Speaker 1: do things after the catch and you know, quick screens
14:36
Speaker 1: and things of that nature.
14:38
Speaker 2: And he's a.
14:38
Speaker 1: Guy that I think also is down the road can
14:41
Speaker 1: give this football team some productive reps in that slot position.
14:45
Speaker 1: But he's not nearly as dynamic as a Christian Kirk.
14:49
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk has a very special ability to gain separation
14:54
Speaker 1: because of his quickness, the way he comes in and
14:56
Speaker 1: out of breaks, and because he's crafty and he has
15:00
Speaker 1: as top end speed. So just you know, some things
15:04
Speaker 1: there to think about. It's a It's a position that
15:06
Speaker 1: if you're a young player, undrafted player, you know, for example,
15:10
Speaker 1: you know Dara Jenkins or Oliver Martin, you know a
15:13
Speaker 1: couple of players, one from LSU, one from Nebraska. You're
15:16
Speaker 1: gonna have a tough way to make in this football team,
15:19
Speaker 1: you know, and practice squad. May you be your best bet.
15:22
Speaker 1: Jaguars half hours brought to you by the Saint John's

Speaker 1: number three, how he can continue to grow as an

Speaker 1: Twitter as well at JP Shadrick at Logs.
16:16
Speaker 2: Five to six.
16:18
Speaker 1: Well, Jaguars offense is you know what do they say?
16:22
Speaker 1: Offense sells tickets, Defense wins championships. At least they said
16:26
Speaker 1: that about thirty years ago. Yeah, that's it's a little
16:28
Speaker 1: different now in the modern day NFL. You still need
16:31
Speaker 1: defense though, certainly, and the Jaguars defense last year ranked
16:35
Speaker 1: around twenty fourth twenty fifth in total yardage in the league,
16:38
Speaker 1: but they were tied for seventh and takeaways. They were
16:41
Speaker 1: an opportunistic group last year, but they were maybe just
16:45
Speaker 1: to tick late overall and.
16:47
Speaker 2: Getting to the quarterback.
16:48
Speaker 1: So in this offseason logs, we've talked a lot about
16:52
Speaker 1: their self scout from last year and what do you
16:55
Speaker 1: look at and you know what personnel might you go
16:59
Speaker 1: out and get? Well, they didn't really go out and
17:01
Speaker 1: get much better in personnel. They drafted some guys that
17:04
Speaker 1: they might be able to develop over time, but they've
17:09
Speaker 1: spent a lot of draft equity already on defense first
17:11
Speaker 1: round picks over the last few years, and they're counting
17:14
Speaker 1: on those guys to really step up and take a
17:17
Speaker 1: step this year on the defensive side of the ball. Overall,
17:22
Speaker 1: where is this defense? What do you think they might
17:25
Speaker 1: have found in the self scout that they can adjust
17:27
Speaker 1: moving ahead? First of all, go back to last year,
17:30
Speaker 1: and I think the saving grace was the takeaways, you know,
17:32
Speaker 1: because if all of a sudden you take that out
17:34
Speaker 1: of the equation. I think this defense really struggles, I
17:37
Speaker 1: mean struggles in a big way. And I think every
17:40
Speaker 1: team at the conclusion of a season does a real
17:43
Speaker 1: strong self analysis. And I wasn't a part of that
17:47
Speaker 1: self analysis, but I think one of the things that
17:50
Speaker 1: I felt was that they weren't allowing the guys up
17:53
Speaker 1: front to be in the best position to rush the passer,
17:56
Speaker 1: to impact the game and get off the field. And
18:00
Speaker 1: you know, you go to Mike Caldwell's opening press conference.
18:03
Speaker 1: He talked a lot about getting the players in the
18:07
Speaker 1: position to do what do things that they do best,
18:10
Speaker 1: talking about his off season program conference exactly, yes, exactly,
18:14
Speaker 1: and he's I think he speaks officially Tomorrow's exactly, so
18:19
Speaker 1: what he means by that I think, if I'm trying
18:21
Speaker 1: to interpret it, is that we need to put our
18:24
Speaker 1: players in the best position possible. Last year was a
18:27
Speaker 1: little bit of a feeling out process. I mean, when
18:28
Speaker 1: you have a first time staff, first time coordinator, first
18:31
Speaker 1: time exposure being around all these players, there's so much
18:34
Speaker 1: to learn. You're trying to learn to be a defensive coordinator.
18:37
Speaker 1: The players are trying to learn a scheme, the coaches
18:39
Speaker 1: are trying to learn what the players do best, and
18:42
Speaker 1: they're trying to put them in the best position possible.
18:44
Speaker 1: And so I thought last year was a little bit
18:46
Speaker 1: of a learning curve, and I think this year, I
18:48
Speaker 1: think you'll see much more strides being made on the
18:52
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball because now you have some
18:55
Speaker 1: familiarity across the board, and last year they were trying
18:59
Speaker 1: to play I'd have been a man.
19:00
Speaker 4: Well.
19:01
Speaker 1: The reality is is that they really don't have the
19:04
Speaker 1: personnel to play a lot of man or they didn't
19:06
Speaker 1: last year, and I think this year will be a
19:08
Speaker 1: little bit of a question mark of whether they can
19:10
Speaker 1: do that again. I think they're gonna have to be
19:13
Speaker 1: a little bit more like they were at the end
19:15
Speaker 1: of the year. They're gonna have to play a little
19:16
Speaker 1: bit more zone, and I think they need to allow
19:19
Speaker 1: some of these guys that rush the passer to put
19:21
Speaker 1: their hand in the ground and go rush the passer.
19:24
Speaker 2: For example.
19:25
Speaker 1: Well, last year it felt like that they were have
19:29
Speaker 1: that guys in two point stances. Okay, Josh Allen, Trayvon Walker.
19:32
Speaker 1: A lot of times we're rushing the passer on second,
19:35
Speaker 1: long and third down and they're up in a two
19:38
Speaker 1: point stance like a stand up linebacker. Well, look the time,
19:41
Speaker 1: you're not trying to fool anybody when they're in second
19:44
Speaker 1: long and third and long. Give the player the best
19:46
Speaker 1: tool in his toolkit to be able to affect the quarterback.
19:50
Speaker 1: The best, most aggressive pass rush is one in which
19:53
Speaker 1: a player can have his hand on the ground. Otherwise
19:55
Speaker 1: Olympic athletes would be going from a two point stance
19:57
Speaker 1: in sprint, right, So sure, so let the player have
20:01
Speaker 1: his hand down three point stants and go after the passer.
20:04
Speaker 1: And I think that you'll see more of that this year.
20:07
Speaker 1: And that's a great question for Doug Peterson. You know,
20:10
Speaker 1: we'll ask him when we get the Doug Peterson Show.
20:12
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, but I think.
20:14
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a tremendous amount of improvement there, and
20:19
Speaker 1: then that will help the pass rush because that's important obviously.
20:23
Speaker 1: I think you've got a lot of question marks in
20:26
Speaker 1: the back end, at the corner position, not cross I
20:29
Speaker 1: think the safety position is very strong. But you've got
20:31
Speaker 1: to have these guys up front really being a you know,
20:35
Speaker 1: I remember Lawrence Taylor the famous quote on NFL films,
20:39
Speaker 1: you got to go after him like a bunch of
20:40
Speaker 1: crazed dogs. Okay, well that's your front guy's got to
20:43
Speaker 1: go after him like a bunch of crazed dogs. And
20:45
Speaker 1: they got to have the quarterback's feet moving and got
20:47
Speaker 1: to have those feet nervous. And so Josh Allen needs
20:51
Speaker 1: to get back to being what he can be. Last
20:54
Speaker 1: year a little banged up, I think he's he's gonna
20:57
Speaker 1: be primed for a big year in a contract year. Yeah,
21:00
Speaker 1: there's a lot on the line for him if he
21:01
Speaker 1: can do what he did in the last five weeks
21:04
Speaker 1: of the regular season stretched that out. I mean, he
21:07
Speaker 1: was fantastic down the stretch, got home for sacks, quarterback hits.
21:11
Speaker 1: How about the Buffalo game, Yes, I mean wow, I
21:16
Speaker 1: mean what a game that Josh had against Buffalo. And
21:19
Speaker 1: but so he had games like that that you were
21:22
Speaker 1: just like wow, and then he had games where like
21:24
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks you're like, did he get in
21:27
Speaker 1: the statu chart?
21:28
Speaker 2: You know?
21:28
Speaker 1: So, I mean, and I think that consistency there with Josh. Also,
21:32
Speaker 1: health will I think be a factor in that he
21:33
Speaker 1: got a little banged up last year. Trayvon Walker needs
21:36
Speaker 1: to be able to take a big step forward. You
21:39
Speaker 1: need to have either a Kay Levon, Chase On or
21:42
Speaker 1: you know, you've got a couple young players on the outside.
21:46
Speaker 1: You see her Abdullah, who was their fifth round draft pick,
21:49
Speaker 1: is a guy. I think he's gonna have some opportunities.
21:51
Speaker 1: You know, you've got to be able to affect the passer,
21:53
Speaker 1: and these guys up front need to take Here's another guy,
21:57
Speaker 1: Roy Robertson Harris, Yeah, he just signed another deal, So
22:01
Speaker 1: you sign a deal. Okay, Now you got to produce.
22:03
Speaker 1: And Roy early in the season last year.
22:05
Speaker 2: Was really good.
22:06
Speaker 1: I mean, started out like Gangbusters and then looked like
22:09
Speaker 1: he got dinged a little bit, and then he kind
22:11
Speaker 1: of fell off for a little while, and then he
22:13
Speaker 1: had other games when later in the season he came
22:15
Speaker 1: back and he was just dominant you know, you need
22:17
Speaker 1: to have Roy kind of back and healthy and playing dominant.
22:21
Speaker 1: Dubbed Devon Hamilton, who's a little been a little bit
22:24
Speaker 1: on the sideline okay to start camp. Got an extension
22:27
Speaker 1: in the off season as well, and he's a very
22:29
Speaker 1: good productive player. That was their best interior, big I
22:33
Speaker 1: pass rusher last year and I think he probably is
22:35
Speaker 1: going to earn some more reps for this year. Those
22:37
Speaker 1: guys all have to take steps forward. You know, there
22:41
Speaker 1: was no big marquee free agent signing on the defensive
22:44
Speaker 1: side of the ball, and then in the draft, you know,
22:47
Speaker 1: you went offense, offense, offense the first three picks, and
22:50
Speaker 1: then you got the defense, you know, finally in the
22:52
Speaker 1: fourth round. So I mean, now you've got to have
22:55
Speaker 1: those guys that have been drafted high in previous years
22:58
Speaker 1: start to produce. Devin Lloyd other guy, I mean, he's
23:01
Speaker 1: got to be able to help the pass rush too.
23:03
Speaker 1: You know, he did that at you Tulsome stand up
23:05
Speaker 1: as a blitzer, and I think you're gonna see him
23:07
Speaker 1: do a little bit more of that. By the way,
23:08
Speaker 1: Roy Robertson Harris three year extension twenty one point six
23:12
Speaker 1: million dollars reportedly in that extension. He's worth every penny
23:16
Speaker 1: of that, especially down the stretch. He was fantastic. It's
23:19
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy our ten ten xl AM Jaguars dot Com,
23:23
Speaker 1: Jaguars Social Media, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Glad you're with us.
23:26
Speaker 1: PRI Productions, the official event production company of the Jags,
23:29
Speaker 1: has everything you need to bring your next idea to life.
23:33
Speaker 1: Visit PRI Productions dot com. Well pass rush helps out
23:37
Speaker 1: the secondary. Two logs and we touched a little bit
23:40
Speaker 1: on the secondary. But Tyson Campbell's coming into year three
23:44
Speaker 1: and you said just a moment ago, you know, not
23:47
Speaker 1: especially the best overall man coverage group. They really succeeded
23:53
Speaker 1: more out of the zone. Let's touch on Campbell especially
23:57
Speaker 1: year three for him, had what three picks. Last year
24:00
Speaker 1: was around the football a bit. I think he's improved
24:02
Speaker 1: over time in seeing the ball in the air. That
24:05
Speaker 1: was obviously an issue early in his career. His first year,
24:09
Speaker 1: you know, he would look back, lose the ball, lose
24:11
Speaker 1: the man, and then the guys would score on big play. Yep,
24:13
Speaker 1: big play would happen. That's toned down a little bit.
24:16
Speaker 1: I think that's been an improvement he's made. What else
24:19
Speaker 1: have you seen better from Tyson Campbell. I know it's
24:22
Speaker 1: early in camp, two days in for him. Kind of
24:24
Speaker 1: tough to see that some of those guys. But Campbell's
24:26
Speaker 1: the guy. He's i think the number one corner on
24:29
Speaker 1: this team.
24:29
Speaker 2: Oh by far.
24:30
Speaker 1: And he's I think a young still a sending player
24:34
Speaker 1: that's going to continue to get better. He's got great length,
24:37
Speaker 1: he's got good ball skills, he's making strides and that
24:40
Speaker 1: department JP that you brought up, you know, you flashback
24:43
Speaker 1: to the game in Washington last year and he allows
24:46
Speaker 1: a big play because he kind of loses track of
24:48
Speaker 1: a guy and that's something he's gotten better at. But
24:52
Speaker 1: he I think is at his best when he's got
24:54
Speaker 1: his face facing back towards the quarterback and he's got
24:58
Speaker 1: such tremendous length. He's very very aggressive tackler, which is
25:02
Speaker 1: kind of rare from the corner position and aggressive and.
25:06
Speaker 2: Good and one thing to be aggressive, it's you know,
25:14
Speaker 2: so I like him.
25:15
Speaker 1: I think he's a real I mean, he's a true
25:17
Speaker 1: number one corner and uh. And then on the opposite side,
25:21
Speaker 1: Darius Williams made some strides last year when you early
25:24
Speaker 1: in the year he was in in the slot, and
25:27
Speaker 1: then he was moved to the outside. He got a
25:29
Speaker 1: little better on the outside. He still needs to improve
25:31
Speaker 1: some of his tackling to to get that up to
25:34
Speaker 1: a at a better level.
25:35
Speaker 2: You know.
25:36
Speaker 1: But the big question mark is it, you know, JP,
25:38
Speaker 1: you know, you and I both know that this is
25:40
Speaker 1: a passing league, okay, And no longer is the game
25:43
Speaker 1: played with two corners. You need to have three and
25:45
Speaker 1: four corners. So who's up next? And that's a big
25:49
Speaker 1: question mark. Darius Williams was on the other side last year.
25:52
Speaker 1: Obviously a veteran guy has been around for thirty one
25:54
Speaker 1: years old now I suppose it has been in the
25:56
Speaker 1: league as long as his age indicates. He had a
25:59
Speaker 1: longer col his career than others. And then Trey Herndon
26:02
Speaker 1: would be probably the Nicols slot guy right now. Right well,
26:06
Speaker 1: and maybe you know Chris Claybrooks, you know, is a
26:10
Speaker 1: guy that also is kind of in that equation. You know,
26:12
Speaker 1: he's got some off the field issues that you know,
26:15
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how that's going to be addressed at
26:17
Speaker 1: some point by the league or the team or league.
26:20
Speaker 1: The legalities of it, I'm not sure they're but they
26:23
Speaker 1: signed Savanne Campbell, a fifth year veteran in the league.
26:26
Speaker 1: He's been around for a while, young Canadian, Canadian guy.
26:29
Speaker 1: And look, this is a position that has been addressed,
26:35
Speaker 1: not necessarily with the high draft equity, but it's been
26:38
Speaker 1: addressed in numbers.
26:40
Speaker 2: You know.
26:40
Speaker 1: You look at last year and you had monterk Brown
26:43
Speaker 1: and Gregory Junior who were late draft picks, and then
26:46
Speaker 1: you turn around this year and you've got Eric Hollett
26:49
Speaker 1: in the sixth round out of Pittsburgh and Christian Brown's
26:52
Speaker 1: will the sixth round out of Rutgurse. I mean, Trent
26:54
Speaker 1: Balkey has definitely got a pattern here and that he
26:56
Speaker 1: knows that he needs to address the position, and so
26:59
Speaker 1: he six round. I mean, the percentage of hitting in
27:02
Speaker 1: the sixth round is obviously just significantly less than it
27:06
Speaker 1: is in round two and three and four, you know,
27:08
Speaker 1: but you got to keep trying to get guys at
27:11
Speaker 1: that position, you know, and hopefully one of these guys develops,
27:14
Speaker 1: you know, or one of the rookies, undrafted guys, whether
27:17
Speaker 1: it be you know, Caleb Hayes or you know, you
27:21
Speaker 1: know whoever. You know, but you're addressing it right now
27:24
Speaker 1: with numbers. But I think it's a position that you
27:26
Speaker 1: want to see a big time improvement. The reality is, though,
27:29
Speaker 1: is that, look, you can address every position in one
27:33
Speaker 1: off season. You know there are years that you know.
27:35
Speaker 1: The reality is, you know, okay, next year might be
27:38
Speaker 1: the year of the day drafted corner higher in the
27:41
Speaker 1: in the draft. Let's put a band aid on it
27:43
Speaker 1: for this year and then fix it, you know when
27:44
Speaker 1: we can't well, And look, this team is not gonna
27:48
Speaker 1: just finish camp up and go to fifty three with
27:52
Speaker 1: what they've got on this current roster of ninety. You're
27:55
Speaker 1: going to be evaluating what every team in the league does,
27:59
Speaker 1: who may become available. And that's a premium position. It's
28:03
Speaker 1: hard to get a top notch guy, but it's you know,
28:06
Speaker 1: there's a possibility that you can get capable people there
28:10
Speaker 1: and could you go a veteran rock, could you maybe
28:12
Speaker 1: work a trade for somebody at that position? Everything I
28:16
Speaker 1: think is on the table for that position. But you
28:18
Speaker 1: know the most important thing is is trying to have
28:21
Speaker 1: somebody develop and step up at that position from within.

Speaker 1: Shout out to the guy that all worked in some
30:02
Speaker 1: capacity here at the Miller Electric Center, because I mean
30:05

30:10
Speaker 1: ton of guys that have been working from the Jaguars
30:14
Speaker 1: organization that have been working on this project in a
30:17
Speaker 1: tireless fashion, you know, Hamza and Jeff, I mean, all
30:20
Speaker 1: those guys, and then everybody from every department was working
30:23
Speaker 1: late hours to make sure that everything was just right
30:26
Speaker 1: in their departments, you know, department leaders, et cetera. I mean,
30:29
Speaker 1: it's you know, and it's an ongoing process. I mean
30:32
Speaker 1: over yet it's not over. There's still some kinks and
30:34
Speaker 1: some things that they're working out. But uh wow, what
30:38
Speaker 1: a facility. And I mean it's it's truly amazing. You know,
30:42
Speaker 1: all those years of us going to other places to
30:46
Speaker 1: watch the Jaguars practice, the Patriots, the Vikings, the Atlanta Falcons,
30:52
Speaker 1: and then when you're looking at all of their facilities, well,
30:55
Speaker 1: here we are, and we're looking at one of the
30:58
Speaker 1: very best in the national footage right here in Jacksonville.
31:01
Speaker 2: Pretty awesome. Man.
31:02
Speaker 1: Guys like in the IT department, Chris y Eider, who's
31:05
Speaker 1: been pulling his hair out for all the football stuff
31:07
Speaker 1: to get done, and then Jason Dean doing a lot
31:10
Speaker 1: of our stuff on the media side, and you're watching
31:12
Speaker 1: some of it if you're watching on Jaguars dot Com
31:14
Speaker 1: right now, some of the footage inside from the tour
31:17
Speaker 1: the other week. And yes, it's ongoing and it's I'm
31:21
Speaker 1: sure they're worn out, but they've done some great work
31:25
Speaker 1: and still some great work to come. I've seen every
31:28
Speaker 1: component of this building and it's breathtaking. I think one
31:33
Speaker 1: of the coolest aspects of this building is that on
31:37
Speaker 1: the lower level that's all basically player function, So the
31:41
Speaker 1: from the cafeteria to the locker room, to the meeting
31:45
Speaker 1: rooms to the training room that it's all ground floor
31:48
Speaker 1: and the meeting rooms literally every position group has a
31:51
Speaker 1: door that steps out onto the grass, so teams can
31:54
Speaker 1: have meeting positional meetings and then they go right out
31:58
Speaker 1: the door right to practice. And then off to the
32:00
Speaker 1: one side the indoor facility and weight room that are
32:04
Speaker 1: connected just incredible, and the weight room has us like
32:09
Speaker 1: a second floor balcony that has cardio equipment for the players,
32:14
Speaker 1: and it's just it's cool because you know the players
32:16
Speaker 1: can go from locker room, training room, weight room out
32:20
Speaker 1: to the grass and the indoor facility.
32:22
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's it's all right there.
32:24
Speaker 1: And the coaches are on the second level up out
32:27
Speaker 1: of it.
32:28
Speaker 2: Yeah there.
32:28
Speaker 1: You know a lot of the coaches are overlooking the field,
32:31
Speaker 1: and then some others are on the interior part of it.
32:33
Speaker 1: There's coaches meeting rooms on the on the second floor.
32:37
Speaker 1: It's pretty spectacular. And then that's on one side of
32:39
Speaker 1: the building. This side of the building that we're on
32:41
Speaker 1: is the dining area and the media and all everything
32:46
Speaker 1: that happens up here is on the side closest to
32:49
Speaker 1: the stadium. The number one difference between the new facility here,
32:54
Speaker 1: the Miller Electric Center and then the old part of
32:58
Speaker 1: the area where the Jaguars at in the stadium is
33:01
Speaker 1: that there's now daylight. Oh yeah, the big windows. Yeah,
33:04
Speaker 1: there's daylight and uh and there's no shortage of it,
33:07
Speaker 1: and it's it's a beautiful thing to see compared to
33:10
Speaker 1: the old stadium, which you kind of went into this
33:12
Speaker 1: you know, dungeon, batcave, whatever you want to call it,
33:15
Speaker 1: and you.
33:15
Speaker 2: Didn't see light.
33:16
Speaker 1: I mean, the vitamin D deficiency amongst Jaguar staff over
33:20
Speaker 1: the last X number of years has been been great.
33:24
Speaker 1: You're watching a time lapse video of the construction on
33:27
Speaker 1: jaguars dot com, starting from when they broke ground all
33:30
Speaker 1: the way to when they opened the thing just the
33:33
Speaker 1: other day. And it's pretty spectacular to see. And yes,
33:36
Speaker 1: as you said, loges a lot of hard work going
33:38
Speaker 1: into it even to this moment. And the area in
33:41
Speaker 1: which the fans have been enjoying practice in the stands,
33:45
Speaker 1: They've got bleachers that have shades starting completely almost the
33:51
Speaker 1: entire bleachers, starting right about the time that practice starts
33:54
Speaker 1: in the shade continues throughout the afternoon, and then the
33:58
Speaker 1: seats are really nice and and it's elevated, obviously in
34:01
Speaker 1: a grand stand type fashion. And then you have these
34:04
Speaker 1: fans and I think I know the name of them?
34:06
Speaker 2: What are they?
34:08
Speaker 1: I can't say on the radio. Why it's a big
34:11
Speaker 1: rear end fan. Well they can say it. They're promoting them,
34:14
Speaker 1: are they? Yeah, I'm sure they are. They would how
34:17
Speaker 1: would you sell them if your perfect? I mean, that's
34:21
Speaker 1: like the real name of them. I mean, they're huge
34:24
Speaker 1: and these things, I mean are moving some serious air
34:27
Speaker 1: over the tops of the fans or the heads of
34:29
Speaker 1: the fans and so really cool and uh, you know,
34:33
Speaker 1: if I'm a fan being able to come out, I mean,
34:36
Speaker 1: there's no problem. You're going to enjoy the whole the
34:38
Speaker 1: whole process, all right, we promised Cam Robinson and Cam
34:42
Speaker 1: Robinson I also spoke with some of the media folks today.
34:46
Speaker 1: You'll see some quotes from him coming out, if not
34:48
Speaker 1: already on social media, but in some articles tonight or
34:52
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning. Well, he is practicing. He has suspended four
34:55
Speaker 1: games at the start of the regular season. He told
34:57
Speaker 1: the media today that it was January when he had
35:01
Speaker 1: not started his recovery yet when he took something that
35:05
Speaker 1: he didn't realize, and hey, he took full responsibility for
35:10
Speaker 1: it and has to be better at knowing what's going
35:13
Speaker 1: in his body. He took the whole thing today. That's
35:15
Speaker 1: the first time he's spoken, at least publicly. I think
35:19
Speaker 1: he put out a statement or something when the suspension
35:21
Speaker 1: came out, but this is the first time actually on
35:24
Speaker 1: the record in front of others talking about it. But
35:26
Speaker 1: he's out there, he's working, So he's not going to
35:29
Speaker 1: be out there and work in the first month of
35:31
Speaker 1: the season.
35:31
Speaker 2: Though. Plan B is how many games? Is it four?
35:35
Speaker 2: It's four games? Four games.
35:37
Speaker 1: And look, some people may end up come out taking this,
35:43
Speaker 1: maybe in the wrong way, but if they do.
35:45
Speaker 2: I don't care.
35:46
Speaker 1: You know, the players are willing to always push the
35:50
Speaker 1: boundaries of high performance. Okay, I was no different. I mean,
35:54
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that you're trying to make
35:56
Speaker 1: your body the best that it can be. You want
35:58
Speaker 1: your body to recover in the best thing that it
36:00
Speaker 1: possibly can. You're always looking for an edge. You're not
36:03
Speaker 1: looking for an illegal edge, but you're looking for an edge.
36:06
Speaker 1: And sometimes players can make a mistake by taking something
36:09
Speaker 1: that they feel is gonna give him an edge, and
36:12
Speaker 1: then after the fact they realized that it was something
36:15
Speaker 1: that wasn't allowable. Okay, that happens. That happens, but that's
36:21
Speaker 1: what happens in the pursuit of greatness and making your
36:24
Speaker 1: body as good as it possibly can. Cam Robinson is
36:28
Speaker 1: as good of a person as you'll ever find, Okay,
36:31
Speaker 1: And these things can happen, and Cam Robinson is gonna
36:36
Speaker 1: end up being a better person for going through this,
36:38
Speaker 1: and he's gonna learn his lesson and he's gonna be fine.
36:41
Speaker 2: You know.
36:41
Speaker 1: The Jaguars, I think are in a great position to
36:44
Speaker 1: be able to handle this situation with Cam Robinson because
36:47
Speaker 1: you have a first round draft pick tackle. You also
36:51
Speaker 1: have the development of Walker Little last year that happened
36:54
Speaker 1: in every game he got better. I mean there was
36:57
Speaker 1: no concern last year going to Kansas City with Walker
37:00
Speaker 1: Little is your left tackle?
37:01
Speaker 2: None? Okay?
37:03
Speaker 1: And then now you've added Josh Wells to the mix
37:05
Speaker 1: as well, who was a proven veteran. He's obviously started
37:09
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, was in Tampa for many years, got some
37:13
Speaker 1: starts under his belt. He's bigger than ever, He's got experience.
37:17
Speaker 1: How many teams in the National Football League would be
37:20
Speaker 1: as comfortable as the Jaguars by losing a starting left
37:24
Speaker 1: tackle for the first four games of the season.
37:27
Speaker 2: I mean there aren't any. I mean there's very few.
37:28
Speaker 1: There are very few that are comfortable starting to tackle.
37:33
Speaker 2: If any.
37:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's I mean Coy's creditor, Trent Balky
37:37
Speaker 1: and his staff for you know, getting the quality of
37:40
Speaker 1: players at that position, because that's a premium position. Walker Little,
37:45
Speaker 1: I think, is going to handle it just fine. I
37:47
Speaker 1: know that Doug Peterson talked about handling that process. Knowing
37:52
Speaker 1: that Cam Robinson is not going to be available for
37:54
Speaker 1: the first four games, and how that will work. They've
37:57
Speaker 1: both got to get work in and training camp, but
37:59
Speaker 1: at some point you got to know who's out there
38:01
Speaker 1: week one, which is gonna be Walker Little and uh
38:04
Speaker 1: you know, so uh it's good to watch him work.
38:07
Speaker 1: And you know, the one thing that I've kind of
38:09
Speaker 1: noticed in the first couple practices because we're only two in,
38:13
Speaker 1: is that Cam Robinson has really taken Anton Harrison kind
38:18
Speaker 1: of under his wing and is helping him. You can
38:20
Speaker 1: see that there's a lot of conversation between those two
38:24
Speaker 1: and that's what you want to see. I mean, you always,
38:26
Speaker 1: you always want to have great coaching. The Jaguars have
38:28
Speaker 1: one of the best offensive line coaches in football and
38:31
Speaker 1: Phil Rauscher, but you also you like to have that
38:34
Speaker 1: veteran mentorship, just much like Kalais Campbell and Josh Allen
38:38
Speaker 1: a few years ago, and we watched that and we're like, man,
38:40
Speaker 1: that's a thing of beauty you're seeing. I'm seeing that
38:44
Speaker 1: now with Cam Robinson and Anton Harrison, and it's and
38:47
Speaker 1: it's good to watch because you can always, you know,
38:51
Speaker 1: listen to a coach and get better. But then also
38:53
Speaker 1: some peer information of players that have been involved in
38:57
Speaker 1: the game. Cam Robinson, what is this year seven for him?
39:00
Speaker 2: Yeah? I believe you know so.
39:01
Speaker 1: I mean he's a guy that's got experience that he
39:04
Speaker 1: can share those experiences with the young player that's gonna
39:07
Speaker 1: be expected to contribute right away and be the starting
39:09
Speaker 1: right tackle and then down a road, who knows. If
39:12
Speaker 1: you're looking for the MVP of the truck game, then
39:14
Speaker 1: look no further than Ford F one point fifty. Loaded
39:17
Speaker 1: with impressive capability and designed to dominate.
39:20
Speaker 2: Work, play and everything in between. This truck makes tough
39:24
Speaker 2: look easy.
39:25
Speaker 1: Your local FOURD dealer, proud partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
39:28
Speaker 1: We're on Tintin XL ninety two point five FM, Jaguars
39:32
Speaker 1: dot Com, Jaguars Social Media. It's Jaguars halfy Hour, brought
39:35
Speaker 1: to you by the Saint John's River Water Management District,
39:38
Speaker 1: Florida's Water. It's worth saving, the injury report and much
39:42
Speaker 1: more after this, it's Jaguars Happy Hour. Jaguars halfy Hour
39:50
Speaker 1: is brought to you by the Saint John's River Water
39:52
Speaker 1: Management District, Florida's Water. It's worth saving. JP Shadrick, Jeff
39:57
Speaker 1: Logman on Tintin XL ninety two point five FN, our
40:00
Speaker 1: first show of the twenty twenty three season officially today,
40:06
Speaker 1: and hopefully it's a season of great moments like last
40:11
Speaker 1: year and even greater. I was gonna say, it's gonna
40:14
Speaker 1: be hard to top some of the moments from last season,
40:17
Speaker 1: but the achievements could be better.
40:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the whole goal.
40:22
Speaker 1: You're chasing one prize. Thirty two teams are all chasing
40:26
Speaker 1: one prize, and everybody's starting at the same level kind of,
40:29
Speaker 1: I mean not really at all zero and zero. They're
40:32
Speaker 1: all zero zero, but they're all not starting at the
40:34
Speaker 1: same level. That's right, Okay, don't we know we've been
40:36
Speaker 1: on the bottom end of that for a long time.
40:38
Speaker 1: We had many years where we sat there and you
40:41
Speaker 1: think we got a chance, like, well, ain't got a
40:43
Speaker 1: quarterback yet, you know, so I don't know if we
40:44
Speaker 1: can we can go anywhere yet, you know. But you
40:46
Speaker 1: got a quarterback now, and you got an offense that
40:49
Speaker 1: I really believe that is just brimming with talent. I
40:54
Speaker 1: mean it really is. I mean the offense as a
40:56
Speaker 1: whole is bringing with talent. I think the big question
40:58
Speaker 1: mark is going to be this defense, how they can
41:02
Speaker 1: come along and how much progress can they make? How
41:05
Speaker 1: much development will we see with some of the players
41:08
Speaker 1: and coaches on that side of the ball. That's the
41:10
Speaker 1: big question mark. Well, another thing that helped them last
41:14
Speaker 1: year was overall, at least a general health of the
41:18
Speaker 1: football team. They were pretty healthy. That leads us into
41:21
Speaker 1: the injury presented by Baptist Health and the Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute,
41:25
Speaker 1: the official sports medicine provider of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Two
41:29
Speaker 1: players officially on the physically unable to perform lists, the
41:34
Speaker 1: active pup and the training camp time so you can
41:37
Speaker 1: go on and off as whenever you're ready. Ben Bartch,
41:41
Speaker 1: who of course was injured last year, is on there
41:43
Speaker 1: and off to the side to one. Smoot coming off
41:45
Speaker 1: the Achilles injury, just recently signed. He's off to the side.
41:49
Speaker 1: Also off to the side but not listed on anything.
41:52
Speaker 1: Ventro Miller was off today and Devona Hamilton was doing
41:56
Speaker 1: some work it looked like on the side as well.
41:58
Speaker 1: Those are early in camp before and the two official
42:03
Speaker 1: ones of the pup guys. Yeah and uh and look,
42:05
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see Smoot resigned, a guy that I
42:09
Speaker 1: like the way he plays the game. He's always full go,
42:12
Speaker 1: he's versatile. He can play multiple position, he can play
42:15
Speaker 1: outside linebacker, he can have his hand in the ground
42:17
Speaker 1: as the defensive end. But he's gonna need some time.
42:20
Speaker 1: I mean, achilles injury is a serious injury. We saw
42:23
Speaker 1: what happened with James Robinson, right, I mean it took
42:25
Speaker 1: him some time to even get close to right. That
42:28
Speaker 1: was the training camp?
42:29
Speaker 2: What last year? Right? Now? Two years ago? When was
42:31
Speaker 2: that last year? Was last year? Oh? My gosh?
42:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, time flies, yeah, it does, but same idea, right,
42:36
Speaker 1: I mean this was in December. It was Christmas week Thursday,
42:40
Speaker 1: real late in the season. I mean, just much like
42:42
Speaker 1: Jay rob and Ben Barts had a knee and that
42:47
Speaker 1: ended his season last year leaves and that, you know,
42:50
Speaker 1: just by the way, led to the great performance last
42:53
Speaker 1: year of Tyler Shatley at the left guard position. Who
42:57
Speaker 1: is back once again Shatley? But you know, get what,
43:00
Speaker 1: will Ben BArch be the starting left guard this year?
43:03
Speaker 2: Yeah?
43:03
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's a big question mark. You know,
43:06
Speaker 1: will BArch compete with Shatley? How will that go? How
43:09
Speaker 1: will that look? When will BArch be available? Nobody really knows.
43:12
Speaker 2: Yeah.
43:13
Speaker 1: And it also goes back to the left tackle discussion too,
43:16
Speaker 1: right four weeks of Walker little at left tackle, what
43:19
Speaker 1: happens when Cam is eligible to come back.
43:22
Speaker 2: Could one of them go to left guard? You know?
43:24
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you do. You don't really know.
43:26
Speaker 1: And this is and the coaches I'm sure have kind
43:29
Speaker 1: of a plan in mind based on their evaluation of
43:33
Speaker 1: each skill set of the players that they have, and
43:36
Speaker 1: that's going to be very important, you know. And I
43:38
Speaker 1: think they've got a process and a plan in place,
43:41
Speaker 1: and we're not privy to the details of that, and
43:45
Speaker 1: those those plans can change at any moment based on
43:48
Speaker 1: injury or whatever. So that's something that is going to
43:51
Speaker 1: be let's you know, let's keep an eye on it
43:53
Speaker 1: and see what happens. But that's that's that's one of
43:56
Speaker 1: the big questions, one of the few question marks on
43:58
Speaker 1: offense right now. I mean, really, there really are no
44:01
Speaker 1: other question marks. I mean, there's you know, there's always
44:03
Speaker 1: things that arise. Okay, injuries, concerns, whatever, you know, with
44:09
Speaker 1: the suspension of Cam, that's obviously something that we know
44:13
Speaker 1: is going to be dealt with. But really, other than
44:16
Speaker 1: the left guard spot, which I don't even really call
44:19
Speaker 1: that a question because if Barts is not available, you
44:21
Speaker 1: pick up where you left off with Shatley left guard.
44:23
Speaker 1: You got, guys, But I mean, if you're trying to
44:26
Speaker 1: force a question on the offense, is that not the
44:29
Speaker 1: only one that? And how they will work the whole
44:32
Speaker 1: tackle thing out with the suspension at the first part
44:35
Speaker 1: of the season. If those are the only question marks
44:37
Speaker 1: you got, you're in a pretty good spot. That might
44:39
Speaker 1: be the fewest question marks of I mean, it's definitely
44:43
Speaker 1: the fewest questions of an offense in the AFC South.
44:47
Speaker 1: It might be it might be one of the fewest
44:49
Speaker 1: question marks of an offense of any in the AFC
44:52
Speaker 1: as a whole. Chiefs, how many question marks do they have?
44:56
Speaker 1: They got two new tackles, Okay, there's a couple. I
44:58
Speaker 1: mean there's one right there. And who's gonna play wide receiver?
45:00
Speaker 1: They lost their leading receiver in Juju Smith Schuster big yeah, Okay,
45:04
Speaker 1: lost another one that went to the Jets, I believe. So,
45:08
Speaker 1: I mean they have a question mark question marks? All right,
45:10
Speaker 1: Bills h question Well, well, no Number one is can
45:15
Speaker 1: they run the ball effectively late in the season. The
45:17
Speaker 1: question mark with their wide receiver, you know, having left
45:20
Speaker 1: camp or supposedly wasn't excused, and you know, is that
45:24
Speaker 1: all blown over? Can Josh Allen take the step? Can
45:28
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills take the next step? You know, I'm
45:30
Speaker 1: not real familiar with their changes of personnel off the
45:33
Speaker 1: top of my head, but I mean, if you look
45:35
Speaker 1: at some of the great teams in the AFC, the
45:38
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals might have the fewest question marks on offense.
45:42
Speaker 2: Say them next, Yeah, you know, they.
45:44
Speaker 1: They added the tackle Brown from the Kansas City Chiefs
45:49
Speaker 1: and now they're going to be moving their Alabama guy
45:52
Speaker 1: that was the first round pick a few years ago
45:53
Speaker 1: over to right tackle and competing over there. But they
45:56
Speaker 1: got their whole kind of group back. I mean, that
45:59
Speaker 1: might be the those question marks of any team in
46:01
Speaker 1: the AFC on the offensive side of the ball. So
46:03
Speaker 1: those are the teams the Jaguars are going to see
46:06
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, if you're going to go anywhere in
46:08
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I mean, those are the teams that are
46:10
Speaker 1: gonna be there. I mean, and those are the teams
46:12
Speaker 1: that have the quarterbacks that are considered elite level, you know,
46:16
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. And then will the Chargers be able to
46:20
Speaker 1: do anything this year.
46:21
Speaker 2: That's a big.
46:22
Speaker 1: Place in the quarterback so Or extended him. Yeah, which
46:25
Speaker 1: gives you a little bit of a glimpse into the
46:28
Speaker 1: future of what the Jaguars are going to have to
46:30
Speaker 1: be contending with. It's a lot of money, by goodness,
46:35
Speaker 1: I mean, it's uh.
46:36
Speaker 2: I love.
46:36
Speaker 1: They asked Trevor Lawrence the other day the media, did, Hey,
46:39
Speaker 1: did you notice the thing? He's like, yeah, I keep
46:42
Speaker 1: up with the league. I saw it was going out
46:44
Speaker 1: with You're going to see that looks a lot of
46:47
Speaker 1: played it down. Lamar Jackson still top of the league
46:49
Speaker 1: in per year average. His new contract pays him I
46:53
Speaker 1: think like fifty two million a year average, and the
46:56
Speaker 1: new deal, uh, I think with the Chargers at the
47:02
Speaker 1: quarterback's name again, Herbert Herbert, justin Herbert. I think the
47:05
Speaker 1: average now is right around forty three because he had
47:08
Speaker 1: two years left on his current deal. So if you
47:11
Speaker 1: consider it the two years left that he has on
47:13
Speaker 1: his current deal, his average is around forty three. And
47:15
Speaker 1: I was I said to this to you today, I said,
47:19
Speaker 1: you know, it's not it's not impossible to believe that
47:23
Speaker 1: at some point that Trevor Million is a billion dollar quarterback.
47:28
Speaker 1: I mean, if you think about if you think about
47:30
Speaker 1: fifty million being an average now when he gets his contract,
47:36
