- 0:14Speaker 2: Ay Stevens and.
- 0:16Speaker 3: I'll tell you about it too. Welcome into Jaguars Happy
- 0:18Speaker 3: Hour from the Hondey Studios. I'm Kinnannie Stevens, Austin Lane,
- 0:21Speaker 3: Pete Prisco with me today and we're gonna talk football.
- 0:23Speaker 3: We're gonna cut down this roster for you. You got a
- 0:25Speaker 3: whole lot coming up right now, presented by Dede Betty Vodka,
- 0:28Speaker 3: handcrafter with real Fruit, proud partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 0:31Speaker 3: So it's Monday, August twenty fourth preseason games. We're gonna
- 0:34Speaker 3: talk a little bit about that. Bucks have a joint
- 0:36Speaker 3: practice here with the Jaguars, two days of joint practice,
- 0:39Speaker 3: so we're very much looking forward to that matchup. And
- 0:42Speaker 3: then we're gonna cut down this fifty three man roster.
- 0:44Speaker 3: I think we all here in studio, I think we
- 0:46Speaker 3: can figure it out. We're gonna do just that, and
- 0:47Speaker 3: then we'll go a little bit around the NFL some
- 0:50Speaker 3: different news. Of course, we know the Browns starting quarterbacks.
- 0:53Speaker 3: We'll get to that later on, But welcome in CBS
- 0:56Speaker 3: Sports senior writer Pete Prisco. Of course, in former Jaguar
- 1:00Speaker 3: its fense Ben Austin Lane. Let's talk a little bit
- 1:03Speaker 3: about that second preseason game, and then let's move on
- 1:05Speaker 3: really quickly, because it was really bad. The Panthers came
- 1:09Speaker 3: in enrolled, and we knew after a really good joint
- 1:12Speaker 3: practice the starters weren't going to go in that game.
- 1:14Speaker 3: And I think that's what Liam Collin kind of challenges team,
- 1:16Speaker 3: you know, hey, maybe they will play to kind of
- 1:19Speaker 3: you know, wink wink, nudge nudge, get them to, you know,
- 1:22Speaker 3: really go out, and they did that against the Panthers.
- 1:24Speaker 3: He saw what he wanted to see and then he
- 1:26Speaker 3: shut it down. But Pete not not great football watching
- 1:30Speaker 3: on Friday.
- 1:31Speaker 2: They look lifeless.
- 1:33Speaker 1: And you get to a point, and Austin get attest
- 1:36Speaker 1: to this because he played. You get to a point
- 1:38Speaker 1: in training camp where you've gone through a couple of weeks,
- 1:41Speaker 1: You've played one preseason game, you had a workout with
- 1:44Speaker 1: the Saints, you have one with the Bucks this week,
- 1:48Speaker 1: and you had that one you know that won last
- 1:50Speaker 1: week with Carolina, and all of a sudden, you look
- 1:52Speaker 1: around and you go, we're in the middle of this thing.
- 1:55Speaker 1: This game doesn't mean anything. Nobody's playing and they just
- 1:58Speaker 1: look lifeless to me, and I think Liam Cohne kind
- 2:01Speaker 1: of hinted at that a little bit after the game.
- 2:04Speaker 1: So it was not a good performance. So the backups
- 2:07Speaker 1: were terrible, but we could have told you that. I mean,
- 2:10Speaker 1: those guys aren't going to be on the roster, the
- 2:12Speaker 1: majority of them. So it just was not a very brisk,
- 2:15Speaker 1: good looking football game.
- 2:16Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, to me, it was really that game
- 2:18Speaker 4: was a tail of two teams. You had the Jaguars
- 2:21Speaker 4: where it looked like they felt like they got their
- 2:22Speaker 4: work in during the joint practice, right, So I'm not
- 2:25Speaker 4: going to use the word of complacent or satisfied, but
- 2:28Speaker 4: you know, in terms of physicality and effort, like it
- 2:30Speaker 4: wasn't always there. And then I felt like you had
- 2:32Speaker 4: the Carolina Panthers, who did play a lot of their ones, right,
- 2:35Speaker 4: who who try to make a statement, who kind of
- 2:38Speaker 4: looked like they were challenged a little more. Right. I mean,
- 2:40Speaker 4: if you go back to that Bills game, there, I
- 2:42Speaker 4: think a live in their second preseason game or the
- 2:44Speaker 4: first because in the Hall pame whatever it was their
- 2:45Speaker 4: first was the first Okay, yeah, so they're against the
- 2:49Speaker 4: beau Yeah, so their second preseason game against the Bills
- 2:52Speaker 4: like that was embarrassing, right, So it's almost like their
- 2:55Speaker 4: GM calls them out, their coach calls them out. You
- 2:57Speaker 4: have the ones playing against Jacksonville and and the did
- 3:00Speaker 4: what they're supposed to do. Now, they weren't perfect, obviously,
- 3:02Speaker 4: but I think you saw one team that kind of
- 3:06Speaker 4: looked like they were challenged a little more, and you
- 3:07Speaker 4: saw another team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, that felt like they
- 3:09Speaker 4: got their work done during the week. That's what it
- 3:11Speaker 4: looked like.
- 3:11Speaker 3: And it's tough because even like second team wasn't out
- 3:14Speaker 3: there for most of that, right, Like, these aren't even
- 3:16Speaker 3: they were you know, some of the rookies weren't even touched.
- 3:18Speaker 3: They were dressed, but they weren't touching the field either.
- 3:20Speaker 3: So when you get that far down the lineup, it
- 3:22Speaker 3: is difficult to see much out.
- 3:24Speaker 4: Of that, you know what.
- 3:26Speaker 1: You know what, And I started tweet out this week
- 3:29Speaker 1: about the preseason being garbage because it really is. And
- 3:33Speaker 1: it's to the point now the work you get in
- 3:38Speaker 1: those joint practices is a hundred times.
- 3:41Speaker 2: More valuable than what you're getting in the games.
- 3:44Speaker 1: I mean, basically, we had bouncers, bartenders, and IBM executives
- 3:49Speaker 1: who were playing at the end of that game. That's
- 3:51Speaker 1: what it was. And here's the other part of the
- 3:53Speaker 1: tough evaluation. If you see a number one player on
- 3:57Speaker 1: an offense, you know, a number one offensive left tackle,
- 4:01Speaker 1: number one right tackle, the running back, and he's working
- 4:04Speaker 1: against a number two or a number three, how in
- 4:08Speaker 1: the hell do you evaluate that? I mean, that's not
- 4:11Speaker 1: you can't evaluate that for the most part because.
- 4:13Speaker 2: He's going to dominating.
- 4:14Speaker 1: It's like the big kid in high school just threw
- 4:18Speaker 1: around all the little kids. That's basically what that is.
- 4:20Speaker 1: So I think it's a real tough evaluation for the preseason.
- 4:24Speaker 1: That's why I think the Jaguars did put a lot
- 4:26Speaker 1: into that joint practice last week. There isn't tackling in
- 4:29Speaker 1: those so it's kind of a fine line. You know
- 4:32Speaker 1: people you know you want to tackle, you want to hit,
- 4:34Speaker 1: and in those things you.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Don't really bring guys to the ground.
- 4:37Speaker 1: So I just think the preseason is outdated, and I
- 4:41Speaker 1: think we're going to eventually get it down to one
- 4:44Speaker 1: or two. And what I have always said, have one,
- 4:49Speaker 1: you know, for the young guys, have the one and
- 4:52Speaker 1: then go have a scrimmage, a full blown scrimmage. No,
- 4:57Speaker 1: not with tackling, but at like where Jacksonville would play
- 5:02Speaker 1: the Falcons and Tampa Bay could go into the middle
- 5:05Speaker 1: of the state and play Miami, or if you wanted
- 5:07Speaker 1: to do.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Tampa Bay, you could do it.
- 5:08Speaker 1: You know, you get you increase your fan base in
- 5:11Speaker 1: these small parts of the smaller parts of the country.
- 5:14Speaker 4: Marketing sounds like a paper viewer too, right, A little
- 5:17Speaker 4: extra incentive, little money there.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Yeah, you get a little you get a little money,
- 5:20Speaker 1: you know, get people interested. But more than that, you
- 5:23Speaker 1: give people who normally wouldn't be able to afford maybe
- 5:25Speaker 1: to go to a football game the opportunity to maybe
- 5:29Speaker 1: pay ten twenty bucks to go in and see them practice.
- 5:31Speaker 2: I think that would be I think that would be fantastic.
- 5:34Speaker 4: So here's the thing, Pete like, Yeah, if you watch
- 5:36Speaker 4: the game, just to watch the game, there wasn't a
- 5:38Speaker 4: lot to like, right, you got twos versus ones, ones
- 5:41Speaker 4: versus twos and everything. So yeah, it wasn't necessarily the
- 5:43Speaker 4: best look from the Jaguars. But then if you look
- 5:45Speaker 4: deeper at it, there were some players on the field
- 5:47Speaker 4: for Jacksonville that are going to be counted on to
- 5:50Speaker 4: get starting reps, right, like Branson Combs, Ventro Miller. If
- 5:54Speaker 4: you look at the safeties, whether it's gonna be Caleb Bransaw,
- 5:56Speaker 4: whether it's gonna be Rayon Lamb, like some of those
- 5:58Speaker 4: guys that were out there as you quote unquote twos
- 6:01Speaker 4: or whatever, they're gonna be expected to make plays as starters.
- 6:04Speaker 4: And I thought that was kind of telling a little
- 6:06Speaker 4: bit too. Where you know, in that safety group, nobody
- 6:09Speaker 4: really stood out to me, Like in terms of that
- 6:11Speaker 4: linebacker group right now, I'm kind of like taking the
- 6:13Speaker 4: less of of the bad. Where do you want Ventro
- 6:17Speaker 4: Miller in his physicality where it seems like he's a
- 6:19Speaker 4: little more dependable, Or do you want Branson Combs, who
- 6:21Speaker 4: is good in coverage but against the Panthers look like
- 6:24Speaker 4: he kind of lacked that physicality and was almost like
- 6:27Speaker 4: hesitant sometimes to step up and make a play.
- 6:30Speaker 3: Against the Panther.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that's gonna be one of those
- 6:33Speaker 1: insaney where they both play.
- 6:35Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think I think it's gonna be an
- 6:37Speaker 3: on the roster for sure.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 6:38Speaker 3: And then that's how they started last year, even with
- 6:41Speaker 3: Devin Lloyd and Ventre Miller, and then it turned into
- 6:43Speaker 3: Devin Lloyd. But uh, until one can prove that they
- 6:46Speaker 3: can be used in both situations, I haven't seen it yet. Personally,
- 6:50Speaker 3: I think that's definitely gonna be an ore on the roster.
- 6:53Speaker 3: A couple of silver linings. Well, we'll try to get
- 6:55Speaker 3: into this because public's we're shopping as a pleasure has
- 6:58Speaker 3: a player of the game. And of course I think
- 7:00Speaker 3: what was interesting about this is a mere Abdullah, who
- 7:03Speaker 3: I know Coach Cohen was hoping would kind of just
- 7:06Speaker 3: be hidden on the side and maybe he could sneak
- 7:08Speaker 3: onto this team. But you know, twelve year vet, he's
- 7:11Speaker 3: been on like six or seven teams. He still got
- 7:14Speaker 3: a little pop there he has, I believe besides la
- 7:18Speaker 3: Quinn Allen, he's good in past pro. And I know
- 7:21Speaker 3: Liam is kind of mad that he had to like
- 7:23Speaker 3: go and use him because he was kind of like,
- 7:25Speaker 3: maybe if I don't play him, then I'll sneak him
- 7:27Speaker 3: around and no one will remember. And now it's like,
- 7:29Speaker 3: oh he has a pop out game. Someone's gonna grab
- 7:31Speaker 3: him if you don't put him on the roster.
- 7:33Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, without a doubt, this was a guy
- 7:35Speaker 4: like you know, you heard the whole preseason Jamari Taylor,
- 7:37Speaker 4: Jamari Taylor, Jamar Taylor. This though, right, and then you
- 7:40Speaker 4: see what Abdullah and once again going in what he's
- 7:43Speaker 4: year twelve? Now you twelve, assuming that he passed all
- 7:47Speaker 4: the drug tests, because I don't know how he's in
- 7:48Speaker 4: year twelve and he's still this fast running back and
- 7:52Speaker 4: this capable is unreal to me. But I think he
- 7:55Speaker 4: made a lot of money for himself in this game,
- 7:57Speaker 4: and I think he's overtaken now Jamari Taylor, and I
- 8:00Speaker 4: understand the you know the debate, right, do you go
- 8:03Speaker 4: with the young guy who looks like he's capable or
- 8:06Speaker 4: do you take the veteran who looks like he's nothing
- 8:08Speaker 4: but dependable in the receiving game. And we're not really
- 8:11Speaker 4: quite sure about la Quinnell and yet if he's gonna
- 8:13Speaker 4: be ready for week one, I'm gonna air on the
- 8:15Speaker 4: side of a mirror Abdulla, because I think he showed
- 8:17Speaker 4: he can do a little bit of everything. He's a
- 8:19Speaker 4: veteran and special teams as well. If you need him,
- 8:21Speaker 4: you might he might be there. So I'm taking Abdulla
- 8:23Speaker 4: right now over Jamari Taylor.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the decision when you look at it.
- 8:29Speaker 1: I don't think either, I'll be honest with you, I
- 8:30Speaker 1: don't think either one of them would be taken off
- 8:32Speaker 1: the roster. I mean, you have a twelve year veteran
- 8:35Speaker 1: in the NFL. He was out there for anybody who
- 8:37Speaker 1: wanted him, and so I no, I don't think he's
- 8:40Speaker 1: going to be taken either. But I don't think Taylor
- 8:41Speaker 1: will be taken off that roster either. So I think
- 8:44Speaker 1: what you're gonna have to decide is do you want
- 8:46Speaker 1: the more reliable guy who's been around on the active
- 8:49Speaker 1: roster and then he put the kid on the practice squad,
- 8:52Speaker 1: which is probably what they'll probably do, and we'll get.
- 8:54Speaker 2: More into that as we go along.
- 8:55Speaker 1: But what if Allen isn't there, then you have a
- 8:58Speaker 1: decision to make if you want to keep four of
- 9:00Speaker 1: them and active, and I don't know if they will
- 9:03Speaker 1: in that scenario.
- 9:04Speaker 3: But probably not active, right, Yeah, I.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Mean I'm not an active but on the fifty I don't.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Have to be on the fifty three.
- 9:11Speaker 1: And again, well, we cut the team, which we love
- 9:13Speaker 1: to do, and you know Bacelli hates when we do it,
- 9:15Speaker 1: but we do it anyways. Yeah, hoody the hoody.
- 9:19Speaker 2: We're cutting the team, and we're going to be right
- 9:21Speaker 2: by the way, Well.
- 9:22Speaker 3: We're going to compare notes when when they do their cutting.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Well, you know, he said last remember he said last
- 9:26Speaker 1: week last year that we didn't get Strig out uh
- 9:29Speaker 1: and bj Green remember, and we did, we had, we had.
- 9:33Speaker 3: We're going to keep stringent notes this time so he
- 9:35Speaker 3: can't come in here and start all that again.
- 9:37Speaker 4: And then the way that they actually copy p when
- 9:39Speaker 4: it comes to draft talk, right, because they're always taking
- 9:41Speaker 4: Pete's guys that you know, I think, is it the
- 9:43Speaker 4: better than team Pete? Yes, yeah, So I mean, you know,
- 9:46Speaker 4: we're to make their jobs really easy.
- 9:47Speaker 2: And they got three of them last Yeah, so they
- 9:49Speaker 2: copy my paper.
- 9:50Speaker 4: Yeah, so we're really going to make their jobs easy
- 9:52Speaker 4: with the cuts as well. When we've cutt on the
- 9:54Speaker 4: team for them, essentially.
- 9:56Speaker 3: He should thank us, really is what he should do.
- 9:59Speaker 3: How about this, we talked a little bit about backup QB.
- 10:01Speaker 3: They're not going to get rid of Nickmullins. That's how
- 10:03Speaker 3: they're going to go forward with this.
- 10:05Speaker 1: But it was better by the way, I thought he
- 10:07Speaker 1: was better a little.
- 10:08Speaker 3: Bit was he operated more quickly and I felt like
- 10:10Speaker 3: got a little bit more.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Balloons where I'm staying in the air for a half hour.
- 10:14Speaker 1: The other night, it was better.
- 10:16Speaker 3: So he's your backup quarterback, But as Joey Aguilar, your
- 10:19Speaker 3: your third team guy is he's he's shown you enough
- 10:21Speaker 3: to be run the scout team. Is that who you
- 10:24Speaker 3: go with there?
- 10:26Speaker 2: I don't think it matters.
- 10:28Speaker 3: Pete doesn't care, he's not trying to develop. He's over it.
- 10:30Speaker 1: No, I don't because I don't think either one of
- 10:32Speaker 1: them is going to develop into a quarterback in the league.
- 10:34Speaker 2: So I mean, to me, it's just a matter of
- 10:37Speaker 2: what your preference is.
- 10:38Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, Carter Bradley's done some good things
- 10:43Speaker 1: and he's done some bad things, you know, but again,
- 10:46Speaker 1: look who this guy's throwing to and playing with and against.
- 10:49Speaker 2: It's hard to evaluate it. There's there's a bunch of
- 10:51Speaker 2: guys that.
- 10:52Speaker 1: Aren't going to be on the team on either one
- 10:53Speaker 1: of those teams next week. So it's a hard evaluation.
- 10:56Speaker 4: It is a hard evaluation, you know. I think probably
- 11:00Speaker 4: the greatest detriment to Carter Bradley was how great he
- 11:02Speaker 4: looked against the Saints and maybe got a little overconfident
- 11:05Speaker 4: because that one interception where he threw across his body
- 11:07Speaker 4: and everything.
- 11:08Speaker 2: It was just terrible.
- 11:09Speaker 4: It was a horrible throw. That can't happen, right, So
- 11:12Speaker 4: so I think you have a guy who came in
- 11:13Speaker 4: a little overconfident if you will, they can make all
- 11:16Speaker 4: the throws. And then we saw what happens there. Like
- 11:19Speaker 4: at least with Joey Agilar, I'll say, there hasn't been
- 11:21Speaker 4: a throw where I'm like, man, I don't know, that's questionable, right,
- 11:24Speaker 4: Like now's there's been like you know, some things that
- 11:26Speaker 4: weren't perfect, but you know, but I mean, at the
- 11:29Speaker 4: end of the day, I'm not questioning a lot of
- 11:32Speaker 4: his decision making compared to what I saw with Carter Bradley.
- 11:35Speaker 1: But you got to go through the whole body. It's
- 11:37Speaker 1: what have they done in the off season, what have
- 11:39Speaker 1: they done in training camp? And we can't put too
- 11:42Speaker 1: much into these preseason games.
- 11:43Speaker 2: We just can't.
- 11:44Speaker 1: It's kind of like the decision made in Cleveland. Everybody's like,
- 11:48Speaker 1: oh my gosh, how do they make that decision? Well,
- 11:49Speaker 1: the decision has been made from April May June July August.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Who's been better on the field, and you guys have
- 11:55Speaker 1: been there more than me. Who's been better on the field?
- 11:58Speaker 1: Carter Bradley or Agalar?
- 12:00Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like, listen when you talk about the
- 12:02Speaker 4: third and four string quarterbacks, Pete, like, I think it's
- 12:05Speaker 4: right right, And for me, it's.
- 12:07Speaker 3: Like I just think there's a little more upside with
- 12:09Speaker 3: Agilar at least from in a game. I like to
- 12:12Speaker 3: see someone that can get in there, be confident, go
- 12:14Speaker 3: through his reads. He's not that pocket whoever's playing a
- 12:18Speaker 3: line at that point in the game. He seemed comfortable,
- 12:20Speaker 3: which was impressive for me to see. And I guess
- 12:24Speaker 3: I like to think that there may be is something
- 12:27Speaker 3: they could make out of that. I don't know if
- 12:29Speaker 3: we know.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Who, we know who Kai's cutting when I'm previewing.
- 12:33Speaker 3: That's where my.
- 12:34Speaker 4: Three but Pete and I can't wait to get in
- 12:39Speaker 4: this with you, man, because see that this is where
- 12:40Speaker 4: we're going to be disagreeing a lot, because I put
- 12:43Speaker 4: so much more emphasis on these preseason games, even though
- 12:45Speaker 4: they not not necessarily that I know, but like, for instance,
- 12:48Speaker 4: we'll break it down later. But Durfy and Brian Thomas junior.
- 12:51Speaker 4: I think Brian Thomas Junior, in terms of what he's
- 12:53Speaker 4: been able to do with the lights on in preseason games,
- 12:56Speaker 4: has been far greater than Durfy. But you can sit
- 12:58Speaker 4: here and say, well, Durphy and practic this, you know
- 13:00Speaker 4: it's okay.
- 13:01Speaker 2: B't even better in practice though, because.
- 13:04Speaker 3: PTJ with a WYS been great in practice as well.
- 13:06Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe the same off a little bit Dirfy.
- 13:08Speaker 1: You know, the Boys of Summer usually tail off. And
- 13:11Speaker 1: I always call them the Boys of Summer because they
- 13:13Speaker 1: I've seen it many a time, and you know this
- 13:15Speaker 1: Austin a guy burst onto the scene and then he's like,
- 13:19Speaker 1: oh my god. Then the paths go on and next
- 13:20Speaker 1: thing to get some more physical and he slows down
- 13:23Speaker 1: a little bit more, and so I always call him
- 13:25Speaker 1: the Boys of Summer. I like it.
- 13:27Speaker 3: All right, we're getting into it here on Happy Hour
- 13:29Speaker 3: coming up. We're gonna get started on our fifty three
- 13:32Speaker 3: man roster. Will tell you what we think they might
- 13:34Speaker 3: go with next week. This is Jaguars Happy A represented
- 13:36Speaker 3: by Jet Home Loans.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:45Speaker 5: I'm ready to I'm ready to go. And you can
- 13:47Speaker 5: just tell about just by today being like a little
- 13:49Speaker 5: jaw food practice, or it's like we need to fine
- 13:53Speaker 5: tune everything, like everything needs to look like how it's
- 13:56Speaker 5: going to look week one, like all the little little
- 14:00Speaker 5: communication eras that you know, we don't make it. It's
- 14:03Speaker 5: like that's overwhere it's time to lock in and it's
- 14:06Speaker 5: time to get this thing going.
- 14:07Speaker 4: So yeah, it's ready in the.
- 14:09Speaker 3: Home stretch of training camp. But we're just at the
- 14:12Speaker 3: beginning of Jaguars Happy are brought to you by Jet
- 14:14Speaker 3: Home Loans. For twelve years, dream Finders have been proud
- 14:16Speaker 3: to call themselves the official homebuilder of the Jacksonville Jaguars
- 14:19Speaker 3: as a Dreamfinders' homes dot Com for all the available inventory.
- 14:22Speaker 3: So we are back. We're getting ready for two joint practices,
- 14:25Speaker 3: but cutdown Day is going to be on Sunday at
- 14:28Speaker 3: six this year. It's a little bit earlier than normal,
- 14:31Speaker 3: and we are going to do our best to predict
- 14:33Speaker 3: what we think the final fifty three are going to be.
- 14:36Speaker 3: Pete doesn't think it'll be too hard. I think we
- 14:37Speaker 3: can do it too, because it's a fun game. So
- 14:41Speaker 3: we're gonna start it with some of the uh I
- 14:43Speaker 3: like to call gimmes or a lock at least because
- 14:46Speaker 3: there is no other punter, kicker, or long snapper on
- 14:48Speaker 3: this team. So I'm marking down our first three as
- 14:51Speaker 3: our specialists, and then we will go from there. Pete,
- 14:54Speaker 3: let's start QBS. You keep in two or three, dude,
- 14:59Speaker 3: keeping too, And so for those keeping track and Trevor Lauren, Yes, I.
- 15:04Speaker 2: Think Trevor's I think Trevor.
- 15:05Speaker 1: Is the right to be on the team.
- 15:07Speaker 3: I think he's earned the right at the lock.
- 15:09Speaker 4: I mean, we haven't seen him in the preseason that much,
- 15:11Speaker 4: but I think we're give him the benefit of the
- 15:13Speaker 4: doubt there.
- 15:13Speaker 3: Here's hoping. Okay, So now let's go to running backs.
- 15:17Speaker 3: We talked a little bit about this in the first block.
- 15:19Speaker 3: We think four is what we're going with our three.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Let's count three now and then if we have a
- 15:25Speaker 1: spot or two we can go back to maybe we'll decide,
- 15:28Speaker 1: okay about that, So your first two at least what
- 15:30Speaker 1: I would do.
- 15:31Speaker 3: Okay, let's do you want to do? C Rod and
- 15:34Speaker 3: Basil Tuton are we don't know which one. It's kind
- 15:37Speaker 3: of one A, one B at this point, so I
- 15:38Speaker 3: think they're fair to say they're both.
- 15:39Speaker 1: I want to get into a little of that too.
- 15:41Speaker 2: Today.
- 15:41Speaker 1: We'll talk out.
- 15:42Speaker 4: You do, let's get into us.
- 15:43Speaker 3: I do, but this is going to be a committee
- 15:46Speaker 3: situation whatever they end up doing. So the Quinn Allen
- 15:49Speaker 3: Junior currently not practicing. He has a soft tissue injury.
- 15:52Speaker 3: All expectations are he'll be available, So I don't think
- 15:54Speaker 3: that's an IR candidate necessarily. But those would be my three, uh,
- 15:59Speaker 3: if we were doing three, and then there's a little
- 16:01Speaker 3: bit of a discussion if we have to come back
- 16:02Speaker 3: and do more. But I think those are probably our
- 16:05Speaker 3: go to gimme threes if you.
- 16:06Speaker 4: Will, Yeah, those are the gimme threes, right, Austin, Yeah, absolutely, yeah,
- 16:11Speaker 4: hands down, without a doubt.
- 16:12Speaker 3: All right, these are We're getting through the easy ones quick.
- 16:14Speaker 3: We got we gotta get this going. Tight ends on
- 16:17Speaker 3: the numbers, right, Yeah, I got the roster right in
- 16:19Speaker 3: front of me, and I've got some numbers down, so
- 16:21Speaker 3: we'll we'll keep track and then we'll go through and
- 16:23Speaker 3: see where we have to tweak if we have to
- 16:24Speaker 3: move anybody around. Tight ends. I think they're going to
- 16:27Speaker 3: pick four or do you think three?
- 16:30Speaker 2: I saw some people keep three. I keep four.
- 16:34Speaker 1: I think I think Marris stays on the roster, So
- 16:36Speaker 1: he's the one two rookies.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Ye, yeah, the two rookies.
- 16:41Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 16:41Speaker 1: I think Morris ober Hunter Long.
- 16:43Speaker 3: Every time I think that Hunter Long does something in
- 16:45Speaker 3: practice or like like surprise, I would keep quitting Morse
- 16:48Speaker 3: as well, just special teams alone. And I know that's
- 16:50Speaker 3: kind of you know, at a certain point you're like,
- 16:52Speaker 3: I'm just keeping people for special teams. But in terms
- 16:55Speaker 3: of blocking and what he would be utilized for, I'd
- 16:58Speaker 3: imagine because they're going to use Brenton Strange and and
- 17:00Speaker 3: the other two rookies, if they were going to use
- 17:02Speaker 3: them in the past game, it would be one of them.
- 17:04Speaker 4: Yeah. And keep in mind last year too, when Breton
- 17:06Speaker 4: Strange went out, Morris really stepped in nicely. They ran
- 17:09Speaker 4: a lot of that split zone and Morris had no
- 17:11Speaker 4: problem blocking that up. Now, not as dependable in the
- 17:13Speaker 4: receiving game, but I think when you talk about that
- 17:15Speaker 4: fourth height end, you're talking about a guy that's going
- 17:18Speaker 4: to be a willing blocker and help out in the
- 17:20Speaker 4: run game. I think that's Quentin Morris over Hunter Long.
- 17:22Speaker 4: So I would take quit Morrison before.
- 17:25Speaker 1: If Stranger Borcier gets hurt, you still have to have
- 17:28Speaker 1: a second blocker, correct.
- 17:30Speaker 3: I think that's right. Okay, so we got through some
- 17:32Speaker 3: of the easy ones. Let's go to wide receiver now.
- 17:35Speaker 3: And this is where I think Travis Hunter really helps
- 17:37Speaker 3: you out because I'm not really going to count him
- 17:38Speaker 3: as a wide receiver in my group. I would count
- 17:40Speaker 3: him in the dB group. He'll primarily play there anyway.
- 17:43Speaker 3: So I think that helps you out because there's two
- 17:45Speaker 3: rookies that have really shined so far in Josh Cameron
- 17:48Speaker 3: and CJ. Williams. And now it's not an either or
- 17:51Speaker 3: situation where maybe if you did have Hunter then it
- 17:54Speaker 3: would be a little more difficult.
- 17:56Speaker 2: So and this is meat he cut too, but way,
- 17:59Speaker 2: come on, we don't even have to debate it.
- 18:01Speaker 3: Well, Also, you might end up getting because Jacoby Myers
- 18:04Speaker 3: now has a splint on his hand, on his thumb,
- 18:06Speaker 3: So I don't know how long that's going to be either.
- 18:09Speaker 3: I mean, he's automatically going to be on the roster,
- 18:11Speaker 3: of course, but like if, I don't know if he's
- 18:13Speaker 3: an IR candidate. We haven't heard anything more on that.
- 18:16Speaker 3: He came out for the game, he wasn't going to
- 18:18Speaker 3: be playing, but he had a splint on his thumb,
- 18:20Speaker 3: and and Liam Cohen said he jammed it up at
- 18:22Speaker 3: practice and he hasn't practiced since and he's still wearing that.
- 18:25Speaker 3: So I am These are the kind of question marks
- 18:28Speaker 3: we get into it, and you know you're trying to
- 18:30Speaker 3: find someone ex which might be an extra spot, but
- 18:32Speaker 3: I have to worry about it.
- 18:33Speaker 2: That's what is a couple of weeks he'll be back.
- 18:36Speaker 1: I don't I don't think that's a I don't think
- 18:38Speaker 1: that's one that keeps him out for a long period
- 18:40Speaker 1: of time.
- 18:40Speaker 2: So I think five.
- 18:42Speaker 4: Yeah, man, that's it. Yeah, I'm just gonna go with
- 18:44Speaker 4: the lap here. I'm saying Jacoby Myers, Parker Washington, Brian
- 18:47Speaker 4: Thomas Junior, Josh Cameron, and then C. J. Williams.
- 18:50Speaker 3: I agree.
- 18:51Speaker 2: And then and then the question becomes, who's the number one?
- 18:56Speaker 3: Do they go that route sometimes Trevor Lawrence likes to
- 18:59Speaker 3: shread the ball around.
- 19:00Speaker 2: But who who has been the best player in the
- 19:04Speaker 2: off season?
- 19:05Speaker 1: There's no question about that.
- 19:07Speaker 4: I got talking about the dude who has uh, you know,
- 19:09Speaker 4: basically sleeps over here every.
- 19:10Speaker 3: Single night.
- 19:12Speaker 4: At the table right now, having a sleepover. I'm not
- 19:15Speaker 4: even sure. Dude's always here.
- 19:16Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been their best player.
- 19:18Speaker 3: He lives here.
- 19:19Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the number one wide receiver.
- 19:23Speaker 3: Yes he is.
- 19:24Speaker 4: Now, Pete, are they going to pay like a one
- 19:27Speaker 4: wide receiver?
- 19:28Speaker 2: I think eventually?
- 19:29Speaker 4: Okay?
- 19:30Speaker 1: Yeah, well correction, he's not getting paid like the number
- 19:35Speaker 1: one wide receivers.
- 19:37Speaker 4: He's making Flowers money. I got you.
- 19:40Speaker 1: He's not getting you know that kind of money Smith
- 19:42Speaker 1: and Jigba and Chase and Jefferson London.
- 19:46Speaker 4: Yeah, I got you.
- 19:47Speaker 3: Yeah, But Pete, does that get done before the season starts?
- 19:51Speaker 1: Got Like, if they're both smart, which I think they are,
- 19:54Speaker 1: I think they get that done.
- 19:56Speaker 2: I think it's going to get done.
- 19:58Speaker 1: I really do.
- 19:59Speaker 2: I mean because a injury risk for him and they
- 20:04Speaker 2: can tag them and for them. If he goes out and.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Has big numbers, then the price goes up. So there's
- 20:10Speaker 1: a risk on both sides. So I think they'll get
- 20:12Speaker 1: it done.
- 20:13Speaker 4: But Peter, are you gonna talk about the franchise take
- 20:14Speaker 4: with Parker Washington?
- 20:16Speaker 6: You might?
- 20:18Speaker 4: You could.
- 20:18Speaker 3: What's the number look like for that?
- 20:19Speaker 4: That's got to be a pretty hefty number.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's still then you would give you another
- 20:24Speaker 1: year to put improve it again.
- 20:27Speaker 4: Okay.
- 20:27Speaker 1: If you can't get it done, if it's irrational right now,
- 20:31Speaker 1: then you could always say, Okay, we're not going to
- 20:33Speaker 1: do that. We can tag you after this season, and
- 20:35Speaker 1: the risk for him is injury. And here's the other
- 20:38Speaker 1: risk for him. The numbers might not be gaudy because
- 20:42Speaker 1: they got a lot of weapons and they're gonna use
- 20:43Speaker 1: a lot of tight ends and everything else.
- 20:45Speaker 2: So I think he's got to be careful with that too.
- 20:47Speaker 1: You know how this league is. If Parker Washington has
- 20:50Speaker 1: forty five catches and eight nine touchdowns and you hit
- 20:55Speaker 1: the market, is that a mega deal. Probably not. If
- 20:59Speaker 1: he has eight and twelve touchdowns, then that is so
- 21:04Speaker 1: you gotta be careful a bitt that too.
- 21:06Speaker 2: So I do think they're gonna get done.
- 21:07Speaker 1: I think they'll ultimately settle on a number that's fair
- 21:10Speaker 1: to both sides.
- 21:11Speaker 4: I mean, and Pete, I agree with you, man, But
- 21:12Speaker 4: you got to keep in mind as well, like before
- 21:15Speaker 4: it used to be you pay the wide receiver based
- 21:17Speaker 4: off a resume, and now you pay a wide receiver
- 21:20Speaker 4: wide receiver one money based off what he could be.
- 21:22Speaker 4: You saw with Christian Watson, you've seen with Alec Pierce, right,
- 21:25Speaker 4: So there is a little bit of a problem where
- 21:27Speaker 4: if you don't pay Parker Washington before the season starts,
- 21:30Speaker 4: and let's just say he goes out there and he
- 21:31Speaker 4: does what he think he can do, even though he's
- 21:34Speaker 4: sharing targets with everybody, and maybe he's around one thousand
- 21:36Speaker 4: yards of the season. Sure, I guess the franchise, hey
- 21:39Speaker 4: could be an optional, But there's gonna be teams out there.
- 21:41Speaker 4: They're gonna be willing to overpay for him then, just
- 21:43Speaker 4: based off of what he could look like on their team.
- 21:45Speaker 4: And I don't want to have that conversation, you know,
- 21:47Speaker 4: but you mentioned Pierce.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Pierce was an unrestricted free agent, so that's different. You know,
- 21:52Speaker 1: you're not He got out on the market and then
- 21:54Speaker 1: then they then they.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Did the deal with him.
- 21:56Speaker 1: He was going to be an unrestricted free agent and
- 21:58Speaker 1: they didn't tag them. So I think this is one
- 22:01Speaker 1: of those situations where if Parker Washington were smart, his
- 22:08Speaker 1: agent were smart, he would do a deal. And I
- 22:10Speaker 1: think Christian Watson got twenty five.
- 22:13Speaker 4: I think something and that when he got something like that.
- 22:15Speaker 1: I think Christian Watson is really good. But Christian Watson's
- 22:18Speaker 1: problem is he hasn't been on the field all.
- 22:19Speaker 3: The time, right, and he's still got that kind of money.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Correct, So I think I think he'll ultimately end up
- 22:24Speaker 1: with a deal that's maybe in that vicinity, But I
- 22:26Speaker 1: don't know if he's going to get to that well.
- 22:28Speaker 4: I mean, but I think it has to be like
- 22:30Speaker 4: it has to be around the twenty three twenty four million?
- 22:33Speaker 1: Would you take Christian Watson or Parker You.
- 22:35Speaker 4: Asked me this yesterday, and guess what. I think it
- 22:37Speaker 4: says a lot about Christian Watson when they drafted Matthew
- 22:39Speaker 4: Golden in the first round, Like, what is that saying?
- 22:41Speaker 2: I think Christian Watson's better?
- 22:44Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, go ahead, I think Parker Washington's
- 22:47Speaker 1: really good. Sure, I think Christian Watson is a better
- 22:49Speaker 1: deep threat.
- 22:51Speaker 4: When he's available, maybe, yeah, I mean like that's.
- 22:53Speaker 1: No availability, now, that's a whole another here's when he's
- 22:56Speaker 1: on the field, And I get it.
- 22:57Speaker 4: Like Christian Watson, he's he's got the wheels. He is
- 22:59Speaker 4: the down field threat for sure. But there's also wide
- 23:01Speaker 4: receivers out there like DeVonta Adams and his prime, DeAndre
- 23:04Speaker 4: Hopkins and his prime who are better route runners than
- 23:06Speaker 4: actually burners, and they can help on a team a
- 23:08Speaker 4: lot too. Like I see Parker Washington as the best
- 23:11Speaker 4: route runner by far on this team, there's nobody that
- 23:13Speaker 4: I've seen that can cover him. And that's including Travis
- 23:15Speaker 4: Hunter so far.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Now, now when you look at, you know, the Jacobe
- 23:19Speaker 1: Myers contract, I think he's going to get more than that.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Initially I didn't think he would. By the way, I
- 23:26Speaker 1: didn't think he would get more than that.
- 23:28Speaker 3: Well, Parker's I mean, he's got He's got to go
- 23:31Speaker 3: in there and say I need more than that, right
- 23:32Speaker 3: of course, Like for sure, Well, he.
- 23:34Speaker 1: Is everything you want in a football player.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Yes, he loves it, he lives it, he's there all
- 23:40Speaker 2: the time.
- 23:40Speaker 1: He's made himself into a really good football player. I'm
- 23:44Speaker 1: not gonna say great, he's great. Is reserved for the truth,
- 23:46Speaker 1: you know, the Chase and Jefferson and Smith and Jigba
- 23:50Speaker 1: and Puka.
- 23:51Speaker 2: They're great.
- 23:52Speaker 1: But he's flashed that and and so maybe this is
- 23:56Speaker 1: the year where he does become great and for him
- 23:58Speaker 1: then the then taking a D would be okay, I
- 24:02Speaker 1: probably shouldn't have taken this deal. But if something happens
- 24:05Speaker 1: and he doesn't get the numbers, then he's not great.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Then there's also that risk. So it's a tough negotiation.
- 24:09Speaker 1: You're paying for a small body of work, but you're
- 24:12Speaker 1: also paying them for his punt returns too.
- 24:14Speaker 3: I was gonna say, you have to keep them on
- 24:15Speaker 3: punt returns.
- 24:16Speaker 4: Right.
- 24:16Speaker 3: Every time people bring this up to me, I'm like,
- 24:18Speaker 3: that's part of this. He's dynamic because of that as well.
- 24:22Speaker 3: Like if you take that away, and I understand they
- 24:24Speaker 3: want him to maybe focus more on offense, but that's
- 24:27Speaker 3: he's so influential. I just yeah, I feel like you
- 24:30Speaker 3: need it.
- 24:30Speaker 4: No, I hear you, kay, But I'm gonn bring up
- 24:32Speaker 4: what I brought up last week. How many one how
- 24:34Speaker 4: many wide receiver one A, one b's are returning punts
- 24:37Speaker 4: in the NFL?
- 24:39Speaker 3: I mean the.
- 24:41Speaker 2: Kail used to do it sometimes used to.
- 24:44Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe you don't do it all the time, but
- 24:47Speaker 1: he's going to get spotted in there for sure.
- 24:49Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 24:49Speaker 3: I feel like it still has to be in the mix,
- 24:51Speaker 3: like I, unless they have someone they've developed that it
- 24:53Speaker 3: is going to be able to.
- 24:55Speaker 4: But he's the one.
- 24:56Speaker 2: He is one on this team. He is the one
- 24:58Speaker 2: receiver right now.
- 25:00Speaker 3: Well, you gotta pay one, gotta keep one around. All right.
- 25:03Speaker 3: We're gonna return and we'll talk a little bit about
- 25:05Speaker 3: the O line and what we think that'll end up
- 25:07Speaker 3: looking like on this fifty three man roster. We're here
- 25:09Speaker 3: on Happy Hour presented by Jet Home Lumps Friday's game
- 25:18Speaker 3: against the Bucks on Friday, brought to you by Wilson's
- 25:21Speaker 3: Children's Hospital, the official Children's Hospital of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 25:25Speaker 3: Welcome back Cannati, Stevens, Pete Prisco and of course Austin
- 25:28Speaker 3: Lane with us for a happy hour here in Hyundai Studios.
- 25:31Speaker 3: And we started to put together what we think the
- 25:34Speaker 3: fifty three man roster is going to look like. And
- 25:36Speaker 3: now we're turning it over to the offensive line. I
- 25:39Speaker 3: went ahead, I made some decisions for us as a group.
- 25:41Speaker 3: So I'm just gonna tell you I put eight people
- 25:43Speaker 3: down already, so I jumped the gun. These are in
- 25:47Speaker 3: alphabetical order for you guys, so Ezra Cleveland, Robert Hainsey,
- 25:51Speaker 3: Anton Harrison, Walker, Little Wyatt, Milam, Jonah Manheim, Emmanuel Pregnant
- 25:55Speaker 3: and Cole van Land And those are my eight. Now
- 25:57Speaker 3: we need to decide do we want nine or ten?
- 26:00Speaker 3: And then some question marks. I didn't put Patrick McCarry
- 26:04Speaker 3: on here because we haven't seen him practice yet and
- 26:06Speaker 3: he's not officially on IR or anything like that. We
- 26:09Speaker 3: know he did have a back procedure in the off season,
- 26:12Speaker 3: but I haven't seen him participating in practice. He's in shorts,
- 26:14Speaker 3: he's out there, but he's not really working out a ton,
- 26:16Speaker 3: So I think that might be a little longer term
- 26:18Speaker 3: than we think. Colvid Landon obviously got acted off, activated,
- 26:23Speaker 3: off pup list. This week. He's back at practice doing
- 26:25Speaker 3: individual drills. We'll see if he starts week one or not,
- 26:28Speaker 3: but he's back in the mix for me, so I
- 26:30Speaker 3: think that's pretty obvious. But what do we think they'll
- 26:33Speaker 3: do with McCarey, because I don't think it makes if
- 26:35Speaker 3: the money wise, they're not going to cut him, right Pete.
- 26:38Speaker 1: They can't really cut him. They can hope he retired,
- 26:41Speaker 1: but I don't think he's gonna do that.
- 26:43Speaker 3: Hush.
- 26:44Speaker 1: I mean, I mean seriously, if you were him, why
- 26:47Speaker 1: would you retire You could get all that money.
- 26:52Speaker 2: No, I'm not being silly.
- 26:53Speaker 4: I mean, if he did what, I gave all that
- 26:58Speaker 4: money back, I'm sure the organization wouldn't mind if he did.
- 27:00Speaker 4: If he's not going to be hurt.
- 27:02Speaker 1: Yet, right so, so, I mean that's the for the organization,
- 27:06Speaker 1: the ideal scenarios he retires.
- 27:07Speaker 4: Patrick, we can have his ceremony for you, We can
- 27:09Speaker 4: have that jersey hanging up in the rafters.
- 27:11Speaker 1: And the ideal scenario is he plays on and cashes
- 27:15Speaker 1: those checks, which the reality is he's probably even if
- 27:18Speaker 1: he didn't play, you cash the checks. So I don't
- 27:21Speaker 1: think he's going anywhere. But I don't think he's going
- 27:24Speaker 1: to be much of a factor this year. That back
- 27:26Speaker 1: was a problem last year. Yes, that last year.
- 27:29Speaker 3: Anyone goes away, so it's all the kudos to him.
- 27:33Speaker 1: He played through it and he was not. Remember in
- 27:36Speaker 1: Denvery went out of the game. He was really struggling
- 27:38Speaker 1: with that back. So another it's always it always seems
- 27:42Speaker 1: that the right guard position in Jacksonville has tough guys
- 27:46Speaker 1: to fight through injuries all the remember Sheriff.
- 27:49Speaker 3: Every week he would go down in game, you would
- 27:52Speaker 3: think he was dead almost and he'd walk off for
- 27:55Speaker 3: one play and come right back. Very tough, but battle through.
- 28:00Speaker 2: I don't I don't think he's on to start the
- 28:02Speaker 2: season for sure.
- 28:03Speaker 3: He's not on that, I don't think so. I think
- 28:05Speaker 3: just we haven't seen him active at all.
- 28:06Speaker 1: So for me, that's so we got to get a
- 28:09Speaker 1: nine and maybe right, So we want nine or ten
- 28:12Speaker 1: on the list.
- 28:14Speaker 2: On the list, this is actually the guy that the
- 28:16Speaker 2: guy that got in the trade has to be.
- 28:19Speaker 4: Daniel.
- 28:20Speaker 3: Do you keep him just because you made him just
- 28:22Speaker 3: trade to pick?
- 28:22Speaker 2: I think personal you have to yeah guard, Yeah yeah,
- 28:27Speaker 2: I think you.
- 28:27Speaker 4: Sacrifice to get him, like yeah, a six.
- 28:30Speaker 2: Round yeah he yeah. Plus, isn't he backing up at
- 28:33Speaker 2: left guard right now on the depth chart?
- 28:36Speaker 1: I think he was the other day he was backing
- 28:38Speaker 1: up at left guard, so I think he I think
- 28:41Speaker 1: I think he stays.
- 28:42Speaker 3: Okay, do we want to keep nine or Tenchuma?
- 28:45Speaker 2: And it depends where Van Lannon is LANs all the
- 28:51Speaker 2: way back and ready to go a week one, Yep,
- 28:54Speaker 2: you go nine. I don't think you can keep nine.
- 28:56Speaker 1: So then you because you're Walker, Little could play tackle
- 28:59Speaker 1: or guard. Okay, Cleveland can play tackle or guard in
- 29:02Speaker 1: the pinch, Monhunt can play garden center, so you have
- 29:08Speaker 1: some can play both guards, so you have some versatility there.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Harrison go to right tackle. We had to he can
- 29:14Speaker 1: play left tackle. Little could play left tackle, not well,
- 29:18Speaker 1: but he could play it.
- 29:20Speaker 4: We saw that experiment a little bit. Yeah, so then
- 29:23Speaker 4: tub was the odd man out then here right, so
- 29:25Speaker 4: was gonna let go.
- 29:27Speaker 2: I would me personally, I would keep nine and not
- 29:29Speaker 2: keep all.
- 29:30Speaker 4: Right, Kyle, you gonna to tell him I saw my job.
- 29:33Speaker 5: They don't.
- 29:33Speaker 4: They don't pay me enough for that.
- 29:34Speaker 3: I promise you that I'm not doing the Cup meeting.
- 29:36Speaker 3: It's absolutely not.
- 29:39Speaker 1: Let's talk a little I was in charge, you'd be
- 29:41Speaker 1: kicking McCarry in the bag.
- 29:47Speaker 4: I Patrick back right there at the right at the
- 29:53Speaker 4: L five a little bit.
- 29:55Speaker 3: Let's talk about some of these young guys, because we
- 29:58Speaker 3: looked at or we've talked about what we've seen. Obviously,
- 30:01Speaker 3: Emmanuel Pregnants jumped the list. He's been impressive to everybody.
- 30:04Speaker 3: But they were going on a lot about Wyatt Milam
- 30:06Speaker 3: and Jonah Manheim, and he seems to just kind of
- 30:08Speaker 3: have jumped over that. Have you heard anything either way on.
- 30:11Speaker 1: That, Pete who's been going in on?
- 30:14Speaker 3: Sorry, Wyatt Milam was someone they picked pretty high last
- 30:17Speaker 3: year and kind of dealt with injury. And I haven't
- 30:19Speaker 3: heard much about him, not in a bad way or
- 30:22Speaker 3: not any negative. Just like you know, someone's kind of
- 30:25Speaker 3: kind of blends in during training camp. I just haven't
- 30:27Speaker 3: heard much on him lately.
- 30:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I still think he's in the mix, right.
- 30:30Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Cleveland's obviously going to start at
- 30:32Speaker 1: right guard, I think, and so Milam would be the guy.
- 30:36Speaker 2: If Cleveland went over to left guard, then Mylam would
- 30:39Speaker 2: probably go in.
- 30:40Speaker 1: I've heard. Look, at some point Monheim and Mylam are
- 30:44Speaker 1: going to be playing. They are. You know, Monheim is
- 30:48Speaker 1: more physical than Hainsey. Hainesy probably knows the offense better.
- 30:52Speaker 1: So you got to make a decision. Excuse me, I
- 30:56Speaker 1: got a frog my throat, but I don't know.
- 30:59Speaker 3: I just think, yeah, and I agree with you. And
- 31:01Speaker 3: there's always that process of O line as well, where yeah,
- 31:03Speaker 3: it's nice to have a veteran presence, but you got
- 31:05Speaker 3: to develop the young guys and put them in at
- 31:07Speaker 3: some point as well. And I think, you know, Monheim's
- 31:09Speaker 3: the center of the future, I'm sure for this team.
- 31:11Speaker 2: And the future might be like by October.
- 31:14Speaker 3: By the way, well, if he gets hurt and Monheim
- 31:17Speaker 3: goes in, might not get your drought back, right.
- 31:19Speaker 4: I think he might tend to job well, and that's
- 31:22Speaker 4: a possibility. But right now where it stands, Pregnant is
- 31:24Speaker 4: gonna be the starting left guard, right, So, like, how
- 31:27Speaker 4: how many young guys do you essentially want right until
- 31:31Speaker 4: you're a little more confident what you have. You know,
- 31:33Speaker 4: you don't have to try too many young guys out there.
- 31:35Speaker 2: But you wanted to be more physical.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Sure, so if you want to run the ball more physical,
- 31:38Speaker 1: who's the more physical center Monheim.
- 31:41Speaker 4: Without a doubt. But and we went over this thing
- 31:43Speaker 4: a little bit last week. Like in the center position,
- 31:46Speaker 4: you don't need a road grader for a center. You
- 31:48Speaker 4: you need a savvy veteran who can cut people off,
- 31:51Speaker 4: who can call it, call it blitzes, call the slides,
- 31:54Speaker 4: all the schemes, everything like that. So I air on
- 31:56Speaker 4: the experience more than the physic county. Right now, they're
- 31:59Speaker 4: center position, especially if I have a rookie left guard
- 32:02Speaker 4: and pregnant, your right takeover.
- 32:03Speaker 1: As well, which is why by October, you know, maybe
- 32:06Speaker 1: by October Monheim takes over.
- 32:08Speaker 3: What's your starting five in October?
- 32:11Speaker 1: Me?
- 32:12Speaker 2: Yeah, you it would be.
- 32:13Speaker 1: It would be Harrison, Pregnant, Manheim, Cleveland, and Van Lannon.
- 32:24Speaker 3: Is this A's last contra?
- 32:26Speaker 2: I think Cleveland wants a new deal too.
- 32:28Speaker 3: I hear that he's playing. I was just wondering because
- 32:30Speaker 3: he's playing like he wants one. He's his camp and
- 32:33Speaker 3: they've been really impressed. I think Tony was saying this,
- 32:35Speaker 3: he's very impressed with the camp that they've seen out
- 32:37Speaker 3: of him, and uh, he's he's looking for it for sure,
- 32:40Speaker 3: and we'll see if they resign him. I guess I
- 32:43Speaker 3: don't know know where all the money's going. I don't
- 32:47Speaker 3: see how you sign him well with the three young
- 32:51Speaker 3: three four young guys were just named, I don't know
- 32:52Speaker 3: how you do either, just because well, there's only so
- 32:54Speaker 3: much money to go around, and you have young talent
- 32:56Speaker 3: that you don't have to pay as much money to,
- 32:57Speaker 3: So why.
- 32:58Speaker 4: Would you, Especially if Anton Harrison balls out like then
- 33:00Speaker 4: the poket is going to be on him. I left tackle.
- 33:02Speaker 1: Yeah, you have on So, yeah, you gotta pay. You
- 33:05Speaker 1: gotta pay Anton. You're not going to pay Cleveland. I
- 33:07Speaker 1: can't imagine this scenario with Cleveland gets a new deal
- 33:10Speaker 1: from Jacksonville.
- 33:10Speaker 2: I just can't imagine that.
- 33:12Speaker 1: Which is why you might have a transition there too
- 33:14Speaker 1: at some point.
- 33:16Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 33:16Speaker 2: Now, if he's playing well, he stays in the lineup,
- 33:18Speaker 2: But if he has.
- 33:18Speaker 1: It for the rest of the year, yeah, pick up
- 33:19Speaker 1: here or there, then you might put myleom into that lineup,
- 33:22Speaker 1: all right, so we're taking nine offensive.
- 33:23Speaker 3: Line run nine. So as of right now, we have
- 33:26Speaker 3: two quarterbacks, three running backs, five wide receivers. That's ten.
- 33:30Speaker 3: Then we have four tight ends fourteen, and then we
- 33:33Speaker 3: have nine offensive linemen, so that's twenty three. And then
- 33:38Speaker 3: we have our three specialists. So we are at twenty
- 33:40Speaker 3: six of our fifty three have been chosen, so we.
- 33:43Speaker 1: Need twenty seven. We probably would have one more on
- 33:45Speaker 1: offense somewhere.
- 33:46Speaker 3: I think he probably he could probably add it that
- 33:48Speaker 3: extra running back, like once we get through it, or
- 33:50Speaker 3: if yeah, you know mcarry will come back at some
- 33:53Speaker 3: point you could use. If he's good to go or whatever,
- 33:55Speaker 3: that'll be your tenth guy.
- 33:57Speaker 2: So can you kick him to the back?
- 34:00Speaker 3: Pee, I'm not a violent woman.
- 34:02Speaker 4: I would never just an urban Meyer kick right to
- 34:05Speaker 4: the back.
- 34:06Speaker 2: Huh oh Yeah, would have kicked him in the bag.
- 34:10Speaker 1: Was ruthless.
- 34:11Speaker 3: JP would do whatever needs to be. What does it
- 34:13Speaker 3: protect the scene, whatever you gotta do. Yeah, he would
- 34:16Speaker 3: have done it. Absolutely. I think when I'm looking at
- 34:20Speaker 3: this lineup, I'm very curious because they're so Liam Cohenes
- 34:24Speaker 3: really excited about what he's going to do with the
- 34:28Speaker 3: tight ends now that they can run like bigger sets
- 34:31Speaker 3: and run with those guys. I'm just curious. We haven't
- 34:34Speaker 3: seen it much yet, Like he didn't run it in
- 34:36Speaker 3: the preseason obviously not going to it's preseason games whatever,
- 34:39Speaker 3: But how does that affect like the O line, Like
- 34:42Speaker 3: do you want the younger guys in there? Is it
- 34:43Speaker 3: easier to move with that? Like schematically? Does that affect
- 34:47Speaker 3: anything with the O line?
- 34:49Speaker 4: I mean, if you're asking me, I think because the
- 34:51Speaker 4: way I see this playing out for this Jaguars offense
- 34:55Speaker 4: is it's going to be depending on who they're playing. Okay, right,
- 34:57Speaker 4: so it's going to be Okay, do they are you
- 34:59Speaker 4: playing it's a great a defensive line? Are they a
- 35:01Speaker 4: weak defensive line? How's the linebacking core? All that stuff?
- 35:04Speaker 4: So I think by a week by week basis, you
- 35:07Speaker 4: might get more thirteen personnel or you might get more
- 35:09Speaker 4: eleven personal depending who you're playing against. I'm gonna say
- 35:12Speaker 4: that I want the more experienced guys in there in
- 35:15Speaker 4: terms of when you're trying to rotate guys and you know,
- 35:17Speaker 4: rotate the different looks and if you're going thirteen personnel,
- 35:20Speaker 4: I want an offensive lineman that is accustomed to the change.
- 35:24Speaker 4: What he has to do and then go forward from there.
- 35:26Speaker 4: I don't want a young guy that's eager and obviously
- 35:28Speaker 4: and everything. I'm excited, but you know, it could maybe
- 35:31Speaker 4: get kind of bogged download with some of these calls,
- 35:33Speaker 4: because this is gonna be a complicated offense, right, and
- 35:36Speaker 4: then I'm gonna air on the side of experience.
- 35:39Speaker 1: I'm going to err on the side of who's the
- 35:41Speaker 1: better player and who's tougher. That's how I'm gonna air
- 35:44Speaker 1: on that, Okay, because and Pregnon deserves the right to start.
- 35:49Speaker 1: I think he's more physical. He's going to help that
- 35:51Speaker 1: run game. He's just a physical, physical player. And all
- 35:54Speaker 1: of a sudden, you look at them coming off the
- 35:56Speaker 1: bus and you look at that left side. You got
- 35:58Speaker 1: Harrison next to Pregnant's put you on the left side to.
- 36:01Speaker 4: Look like you do you think the cool guys? Do
- 36:03Speaker 4: you think the Cleveland Browns and Deshaun Watson's gonna be like,
- 36:06Speaker 4: who's coming off the bus?
- 36:08Speaker 3: Is that?
- 36:09Speaker 4: Is that a pregnant starting spot?
- 36:10Speaker 3: You gotta get the first protect off the bus. Size,
- 36:16Speaker 3: that's correct, But we're talking about squad like j P.
- 36:22Speaker 4: We're gonna bring that whole twenty year old thing back.
- 36:24Speaker 4: What they looks like, looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane
- 36:27Speaker 4: that old yeah.
- 36:29Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah yeah, okay, heart comes school agg you
- 36:32Speaker 1: know how yeah yeah yeah.
- 36:34Speaker 2: But but no, so I think I.
- 36:36Speaker 1: Think pregnant and Harrison. To me, that's your left side,
- 36:38Speaker 1: and that's your left side for a long time. It
- 36:41Speaker 1: should be the center again. Eventually, I think you get
- 36:44Speaker 1: the more physical guy. Maybe you start with the guy
- 36:46Speaker 1: who's more cerebral. Like you said, Austin, the right guard
- 36:49Speaker 1: will be Cleveland and then the right tackle be Van Landa. Now,
- 36:52Speaker 1: these thirteen personnel sets, it's the flavor of the month
- 36:55Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Sean McVay did it. Everybody's
- 36:58Speaker 1: gonna copy it. Here's a couple of things about thirteen personnel.
- 37:02Speaker 1: And I said this to a couple of coordinators. When
- 37:04Speaker 1: you go to I said it to Lilliam Cotto, when
- 37:05Speaker 1: you go to thirteen, What does that do to your offense?
- 37:08Speaker 2: It makes it slower you're taking and.
- 37:11Speaker 1: Not only that, who's going to be doing the bitching because.
- 37:16Speaker 3: Someone yeah, somebody's going to come off the field.
- 37:18Speaker 1: Yeah, right, So when you're in thirteen, which wide receiver
- 37:23Speaker 1: is on the field and who's not.
- 37:25Speaker 4: I think you can go between Parker Washington or you're
- 37:27Speaker 4: gonna go between Brian Thomas Junior. Because if you look
- 37:30Speaker 4: at what the Rams did last year, they used Puka
- 37:32Speaker 4: sometimes and then the red zone they used Devonza Adams.
- 37:34Speaker 4: Devonza Adams had a lot of his touchdowns from thirteen
- 37:37Speaker 4: personnel because the guy's a great route runner and he's
- 37:39Speaker 4: got sized Yeah yeah. Now the attribute for Parker Washington
- 37:43Speaker 4: that's not the best thing is he's kind of on
- 37:45Speaker 4: the shorter side.
- 37:46Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 37:46Speaker 4: Right, So if you're in the red zone and you're thinking, okay,
- 37:48Speaker 4: thirteen personnel, let's run a play action, get him one
- 37:51Speaker 4: on one coverage. I mean, Parker Washington is a great
- 37:53Speaker 4: route runner, but he's not gonna win a lot of
- 37:55Speaker 4: jump balls. So then do you air on the side
- 37:57Speaker 4: of Brian Thomas Junior.
- 37:58Speaker 1: There Brian Thomas juniors on the field no situations than
- 38:02Speaker 1: Parker Washing does not. Then all of a sudden, you
- 38:04Speaker 1: go back to the contract talk. He's not gonna be
- 38:05Speaker 1: on the field as much. Sure, and you're gonna have complaining,
- 38:08Speaker 1: You're gonna have bitching, and you're gonna have moaning and growing.
- 38:10Speaker 1: Not just that you're gonna have another twenty million dollar
- 38:12Speaker 1: a year wide receiver.
- 38:13Speaker 3: Who's also not on the field, Jacoby yep.
- 38:16Speaker 4: But I mean we get here talking about thirteen personnel.
- 38:19Speaker 4: Who's on the field on twelve personnel? Who are you
- 38:21Speaker 4: taking off? If you have two of us them? That's
- 38:24Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like, we're probably gonna see more twelve
- 38:26Speaker 4: personnel than thirteen personnel. So if we're talking about twelve
- 38:29Speaker 4: personnel and I'm Parker Washington's people and everything, am I
- 38:32Speaker 4: gonna be upset if I see Parker coming off the field,
- 38:34Speaker 4: because you know, let Jacobe Myers come off the field.
- 38:36Speaker 4: You just paid him. Brian Thomas Junior's got the speed,
- 38:39Speaker 4: So who's coming off?
- 38:40Speaker 1: And I told him, calling this, you go, you're gonna
- 38:42Speaker 1: have bitching and moaning and problems. And he says, it's
- 38:44Speaker 1: a pretty good problem to have, though, isn't it? And
- 38:46Speaker 1: I said, until you got to deal with it, it
- 38:48Speaker 1: is till.
- 38:48Speaker 4: It's not well.
- 38:50Speaker 5: Right.
- 38:50Speaker 3: Also, what about that that two way guy that you
- 38:52Speaker 3: got to mix into the offense as well? That's right,
- 38:54Speaker 3: they do have another one that you promise he's gonna
- 38:57Speaker 3: play both sides the football, which I believe there would be.
- 39:00Speaker 1: He wouldn't be on a those would be on like
- 39:02Speaker 1: when the third and long in the red zone sometimes,
- 39:04Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and long He's going to
- 39:06Speaker 1: be a part of that. But I think you're gonna
- 39:08Speaker 1: have unhappy wide receivers if you use a lot of
- 39:13Speaker 1: twelve and thirteen personnel.
- 39:14Speaker 3: Well, the good thing is that's not a dramatic group
- 39:17Speaker 3: or anything notoriously or yeah, dramatic, no.
- 39:22Speaker 4: But yeah, I hear you, man, But you know what
- 39:25Speaker 4: kind of sounds is that? Winning football games? And if
- 39:27Speaker 4: they're they're running the teams. Yeah, And if they're running
- 39:30Speaker 4: the football and they're winning football games, the establishing a
- 39:32Speaker 4: line of scrimmage like yeah, maybe Parkers Camp is going
- 39:34Speaker 4: to be a little disappointed, right because now we're talking
- 39:36Speaker 4: about millions of dollars on the line. But I think
- 39:38Speaker 4: they'll buy in. It's not like a bunch of s.
- 39:42Speaker 4: You can't compare every wide receiver.
- 39:43Speaker 1: To a J. Brown, Like, yeah, to compare him to
- 39:47Speaker 1: a wide I'm gonna compare him to a wide receive
- 39:49Speaker 1: coach who's now a wide receiver coach in the natural
- 39:51Speaker 1: Football League. I know he's one of the all time
- 39:53Speaker 1: great wide receiver coaches in this league.
- 39:55Speaker 2: He's done a great.
- 39:56Speaker 1: Job building that Vikings wide in the room into one
- 39:58Speaker 1: of the best in the league.
- 39:59Speaker 2: Yeah, mean and mean and not mean.
- 40:02Speaker 4: Sorry sorry, yeah yeah, And you.
- 40:03Speaker 1: Know what, and John Osher will test to this when
- 40:06Speaker 1: we were covering the Jaguars and Keenan would never ever
- 40:09Speaker 1: ever admit this. Right now, if Keenan caught nine passes
- 40:12Speaker 1: for one hundred and thirty yards and a touchdown or
- 40:15Speaker 1: two and they lost, he was happier than when he
- 40:18Speaker 1: caught three for seventeen and they won. And he's now
- 40:22Speaker 1: a wide receiver in this league and wide receiver coach
- 40:24Speaker 1: in this league. They're all the same, they're all cup
- 40:26Speaker 1: in the same cloth. They want the damn ball, and
- 40:27Speaker 1: I want my receivers wanting the ball.
- 40:29Speaker 3: You have to have part of the deal.
- 40:31Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I mean, I understand that. And that's the
- 40:34Speaker 4: reason why Jacobe Myers is here and not still in
- 40:36Speaker 4: Las Vegas. He essentially said he doesn't want to be
- 40:38Speaker 4: in Las Vegas anymore because he wasn't getting the football.
- 40:41Speaker 4: So I understand there's some ego involved here, but they
- 40:44Speaker 4: also understand what it is like. You don't have a
- 40:46Speaker 4: Jamar Chase aj Brown situation where it's like you have
- 40:49Speaker 4: the one alpha where he has to get ten to
- 40:51Speaker 4: fifteen targets the game because everyone's gonna draft him in
- 40:53Speaker 4: the first round. And fantasy football, we don't have that here.
- 40:56Speaker 4: And if any player in the locker room is self aware,
- 40:59Speaker 4: they're gonna know it as well, like they understand what's up?
- 41:01Speaker 4: Do you have Parker Washington, Brian Thomas Junior, Travis Hunter,
- 41:05Speaker 4: and Jacobe Myers and they all know that any given Sunday,
- 41:08Speaker 4: one of those guys move for one hundred yards.
- 41:09Speaker 1: Now, let's spend Let's flash this forward a little bit. Okay,
- 41:13Speaker 1: we're in week three. They're using a lot of thirteen
- 41:16Speaker 1: twelve personnel. Parker Washington has eight catches on the season
- 41:21Speaker 1: with one touchdown, and he doesn't have a DOW and
- 41:24Speaker 1: he doesn't have his contract done. Happy are they three?
- 41:27Speaker 5: And oh?
- 41:27Speaker 4: Yeah, he's not happy. I mean that they're not happy?
- 41:30Speaker 4: Am I happy? Are the day? Three?
- 41:31Speaker 3: And O?
- 41:31Speaker 4: I don't take him in fantasy football.
- 41:34Speaker 1: Let's just say they're three and oh, he's still not happy.
- 41:37Speaker 1: He goes, you can't spend three and oh you can
- 41:41Speaker 1: never in your life be able to spend three and oh.
- 41:46Speaker 3: Winning is winning, all right, We're gonna take a break
- 41:48Speaker 3: quick here. When we return, we'll check in with the
- 41:50Speaker 3: Microsoft co pilot and talk a little bit about what
- 41:53Speaker 3: the practice squad might end up looking like. Welcome back
- 41:59Speaker 3: into j War's Happy Hour, presented by Dead Home Loans.
- 42:02Speaker 3: Time now to check in with co Pilot, brought to
- 42:05Speaker 3: you by Microsoft. We're going to check in with our questions.
- 42:07Speaker 3: We'll see if CENTI and JP is still with us.
- 42:09Speaker 3: Oh no, it's so we've moved on that. It's okay.
- 42:13Speaker 3: Ai catches up quick. So I asked how many players
- 42:16Speaker 3: are on the NFL practice squad of any given team,
- 42:19Speaker 3: and of course co Pilot answers for us, they can
- 42:22Speaker 3: have up to seventeen. That includes the IPP player, which
- 42:24Speaker 3: is the International Pathway Program player, so get sixteen extra spots.
- 42:28Speaker 3: So that's why cutting the fifty three is not as
- 42:30Speaker 3: dramatic as it used to be, right, because there's so
- 42:33Speaker 3: many people that they can put on the practice squad,
- 42:34Speaker 3: which is great for development purposes. Austin, is there anybody
- 42:38Speaker 3: that's maybe a name lower down that you think would
- 42:41Speaker 3: be a great developmental guy, or you've seen a flash
- 42:43Speaker 3: or two from that you want to see maybe if
- 42:45Speaker 3: they could well move along.
- 42:46Speaker 4: I mean, we we're gonna have this conversation a second
- 42:48Speaker 4: with the defensive line.
- 42:49Speaker 3: But when you tolunched there.
- 42:50Speaker 4: Yeah, but when you talk about Zach Durfy and Brian
- 42:52Speaker 4: Thomas Junior, I mean, I'm not sure both those guys
- 42:55Speaker 4: can can make the active roster, and I think one
- 42:57Speaker 4: of those you might have to hopefully hide on the
- 43:00Speaker 4: practice I hope they don't get picked up because Durfy
- 43:02Speaker 4: have a situation where he was highly coveted. He had
- 43:05Speaker 4: injuries out of college, but teams know who he is.
- 43:08Speaker 4: Doesn't have necessarily like a lot of film in the
- 43:10Speaker 4: preseason games, but people know who he is. And then
- 43:13Speaker 4: you have Brian Thomas Junior, undrafted free agent who's really
- 43:16Speaker 4: made a name for himself. I feel like in these
- 43:17Speaker 4: preseason games where if teams put on the film like
- 43:20Speaker 4: he's going to pop out a little bit. So you
- 43:22Speaker 4: kind of got to help. I feel like, and we'll
- 43:24Speaker 4: break it down in a second, you got to hide
- 43:26Speaker 4: one of those guys hopefully in the practice squad.
- 43:29Speaker 1: Yeah. I think those in the two, and of those two,
- 43:34Speaker 1: I think Durfy's probably the more logical candidate, right now
- 43:37Speaker 1: for the practice squad.
- 43:39Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think you can probably keep him there.
- 43:41Speaker 3: I know there's been a lot about him with the
- 43:43Speaker 3: prospect X and stuff like that, but I still think
- 43:45Speaker 3: he's I think you could put him there and still
- 43:48Speaker 3: work with him for the season.
- 43:49Speaker 1: It hasn't been what we expected it to be, and
- 43:53Speaker 1: once the pads went on and on in the preseason
- 43:56Speaker 1: at least, because there was a lot of hype of
- 43:58Speaker 1: him in the offseason and it's kind of tailed off
- 44:00Speaker 1: a little bit now there's still some ability there and
- 44:03Speaker 1: he's kind of lost, so you would like to keep
- 44:04Speaker 1: him around, of course.
- 44:05Speaker 4: I mean he's showing glimpses he and I spin move.
- 44:07Speaker 3: I saw care seventh trond pick at the end of
- 44:09Speaker 3: the day. I understand there's injuries the situations that go
- 44:11Speaker 3: into it, but he at that level, like you are,
- 44:14Speaker 3: developmental to a certain degree, and I think has there
- 44:17Speaker 3: been Is he built like he should be? Absolutely like
- 44:20Speaker 3: he's physically should be able to play the position. It's
- 44:23Speaker 3: just more getting him up to speed into what they
- 44:25Speaker 3: want to do.
- 44:27Speaker 2: What about the other rookie if you I mean he
- 44:30Speaker 2: hadn't done a lot either.
- 44:31Speaker 4: No, and then that who was is it Horn that
- 44:33Speaker 4: had like the end around where Williams kind of got
- 44:36Speaker 4: Williams got sucked in a little bit. And that's really
- 44:38Speaker 4: his contain right there from what I saw in film
- 44:41Speaker 4: watching it back, and that was kind of on him.
- 44:42Speaker 4: I get it. It's a hard play to stop, right
- 44:44Speaker 4: but and he hasn't seen a lot of that, but
- 44:47Speaker 4: that's on him. And I was just going to say
- 44:49Speaker 4: that exactly, do like out of like the politics point
- 44:52Speaker 4: of it. If you're James Gladstone, like, are you gonna
- 44:54Speaker 4: feel comfortable with putting that guy on the practice squad
- 44:56Speaker 4: and maybe losing him? Like then it's a waste of
- 44:58Speaker 4: a draft pick.
- 44:59Speaker 3: So I mean you have to feel pretty strongly to
- 45:01Speaker 3: undo that anyway. And I don't know big you know,
- 45:05Speaker 3: physical to use him.
- 45:07Speaker 2: Yeah, he's going to be on the roster.
- 45:09Speaker 3: I think that's fair to say. I'm curious if they'll
- 45:11Speaker 3: be able to I know we talked to somen about
- 45:13Speaker 3: the running backs. We might end up adding another one,
- 45:15Speaker 3: but if Jamari Taylor can stick around, I think he's
- 45:18Speaker 3: someone potentially. Those running backs are just so like prone
- 45:21Speaker 3: to get hurt. For me, I just feel like you
- 45:23Speaker 3: can always just throw a couple on there. They're not
- 45:26Speaker 3: a high commodity, like just have some extra people out there.
- 45:29Speaker 3: But I like what they have in the room, especially
- 45:31Speaker 3: because I wasn't sure what it was going to look like.
- 45:33Speaker 3: And I don't want to get you guys into a
- 45:34Speaker 3: full etn blowout. I'm just saying I didn't know what
- 45:36Speaker 3: the room is gonna look like, and I've been pleased
- 45:39Speaker 3: with what.
- 45:42Speaker 2: We don't know what that room is gonna look like yet,
- 45:44Speaker 2: we don't, we have no idea.
- 45:45Speaker 4: No can you imagine if Travis h Chen was here
- 45:48Speaker 4: right now, we don't have to be worried about anything.
- 45:50Speaker 1: We wouldn't get any tough yards between the tack.
- 45:53Speaker 3: Will Also we're talking about mouse to feed. Do you
- 45:55Speaker 3: think he'd be happy? How's he going to get the
- 45:57Speaker 3: ball too? When they're trying to throw it around the yard.
- 45:58Speaker 3: So there's there's that to go around as well.
- 46:01Speaker 1: And we're going to talk more about that because I
- 46:03Speaker 1: got some thoughts on the running back position and I
- 46:06Speaker 1: think where they're headed I think might be something that
- 46:11Speaker 1: I wouldn't do, and so.
- 46:14Speaker 2: We're talking about that. Yeah, Oh I am Pete's boy.
- 46:18Speaker 4: That's bad news for Touton.
- 46:20Speaker 3: I thought we're on the two train.
- 46:22Speaker 1: I love toot Okay. I think Toton needs to get
- 46:25Speaker 1: as many carries as he can handle because he's a
- 46:27Speaker 1: home run threat, and in this league, there aren't a
- 46:30Speaker 1: lot of home run threats, guys who can put their
- 46:32Speaker 1: foot in the ground and put the fear in those
- 46:35Speaker 1: defenses that he's going to go sixty five yards.
- 46:37Speaker 2: Rodriguez isn't that.
- 46:39Speaker 1: He's a grinder. He's a pounder. You want those, You
- 46:42Speaker 1: need him when you need late in the game. You
- 46:44Speaker 1: want third and three.
- 46:46Speaker 2: That's what you want to give the ball to Rodriguez.
- 46:49Speaker 1: But I think if you want to get to where
- 46:51Speaker 1: you need to be as a running team, Houton needs
- 46:54Speaker 1: to be the running back and he needs to get
- 46:56Speaker 1: his carries and he can catch the ball out of
- 46:57Speaker 1: the backfield. You can throw it to him in the
- 46:59Speaker 1: screen game. He's got explosive ability. Get him the football.
- 47:04Speaker 3: It's two time, so says Pete. Stay with us here.
- 47:06Speaker 3: We got a second hour of Jaguars Happy Hour coming
- 47:08Speaker 3: your way. We're gonna keep it real on the preseason games.
- 47:11Speaker 3: We'll finalize this fifty three man roster. All that coming
- 47:14Speaker 3: up on Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars digital network.
- 47:21Speaker 6: You got to maximize these ops and the content. The
- 47:24Speaker 6: continued connuity chemistry is so important that every single time
- 47:28Speaker 6: we step out here there has to be real intentionality
- 47:31Speaker 6: and not just Okay, this is another training camp practice
- 47:34Speaker 6: like that, Ain't it anymore?
- 47:36Speaker 5: Guys?
- 47:37Speaker 6: You know we're building towards something, We're sharpening our EDGs
- 47:40Speaker 6: towards something. And I thought, like Chris Rodriguez today, he
- 47:43Speaker 6: practiced that way, and you know, we got to continue
- 47:47Speaker 6: to get guys to do the same.
- 47:50Speaker 3: Welcome back. It's a second hour of Jaguars Happy Hour,
- 47:52Speaker 3: presented by Mister Chubby's Wings before the game, after game,
- 47:54Speaker 3: after the game, and during the game. And we're gonna
- 47:57Speaker 3: get back into things. We went over the preseason game
- 47:59Speaker 3: number two a little bit, but mostly been focused on
- 48:01Speaker 3: what we think this fifty three man roster is going
- 48:03Speaker 3: to look like. So here's the opening drive for hour two,
- 48:05Speaker 3: presented by Target zero. Let's get everyone home safely. So
- 48:10Speaker 3: Jaguars felt to the Panthers that was not great. But
- 48:12Speaker 3: they've got two joint practices coming up and those are
- 48:14Speaker 3: gonna be huge for them this week. And I think
- 48:17Speaker 3: they've probably made some of their decisions so far about
- 48:19Speaker 3: what this team's gonna look like. But at this point,
- 48:21Speaker 3: it's about the whole team putting in that effort and
- 48:23Speaker 3: getting some work done because they're not gonna see it
- 48:25Speaker 3: likely in the in the preseason game. So getting as
- 48:28Speaker 3: much work done as you can in these joint practices.
- 48:30Speaker 3: But let's pick up where we left off. We're gonna
- 48:33Speaker 3: start on the defensive side of the football now as
- 48:35Speaker 3: we get to this fifty three man roster. If you've
- 48:37Speaker 3: been listening in the first hour, we picked the offense already.
- 48:39Speaker 3: So we've got twenty six of our fifty three filled
- 48:42Speaker 3: out and we're gonna keep it going. So we're gonna
- 48:44Speaker 3: do defensive backs now. Again, I cheated and I put
- 48:48Speaker 3: some names in already. So Montera Brown, Travis Hunter, on,
- 48:51Speaker 3: Antonio Johnson, Jarry and Jones, Jordan Lewis and Eric Murray
- 48:55Speaker 3: are on six of my DB's. Do we think they
- 48:59Speaker 3: will do ten?
- 49:00Speaker 1: Eat?
- 49:01Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna do ten.
- 49:02Speaker 3: You think they do nine?
- 49:03Speaker 5: But nine?
- 49:06Speaker 1: Yeah, we we need to get well, what's this Ramsoll Yeah,
- 49:12Speaker 1: he's in right, Rams will be on there. Yeah, uh, Husky,
- 49:18Speaker 1: that's not that's that takes you that eight and now
- 49:21Speaker 1: you need another.
- 49:22Speaker 4: Corner, which I think it's gonna be Muhammad.
- 49:26Speaker 3: What about well, you need ran lane for special teams?
- 49:29Speaker 4: Wait, we do? We got Jon Jones on there.
- 49:32Speaker 1: Jones, Yeah, so that we have right now, you only
- 49:36Speaker 1: have four corners, but they're gonna play.
- 49:38Speaker 3: They play like nickel and they use them differently, don't they.
- 49:41Speaker 1: They're gonna use a lot of dime too this year,
- 49:43Speaker 1: So you need another corner. I think that's just four corners.
- 49:48Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be Muhammad. He was up and
- 49:51Speaker 4: down in that Saints game. I thought he was probably
- 49:53Speaker 4: the most dependable thing against the Panthers.
- 49:56Speaker 1: So you take your cutting brass well then, so yeah,
- 50:00Speaker 1: if you keep Muhammad, that's five corners, and then you're
- 50:04Speaker 1: gonna keep six safeties.
- 50:06Speaker 2: That takes you to eleven because what's safety? And you're
- 50:08Speaker 2: not cutting any of those safeties.
- 50:10Speaker 1: Are you.
- 50:13Speaker 3: I don't think they're going to cut Jalen Husky or
- 50:16Speaker 3: Kayla Bransaw.
- 50:17Speaker 1: And you absolutely.
- 50:19Speaker 3: Right, you absolutely him Son.
- 50:23Speaker 4: You at eleven five, you're keeping Murray Johnson, Ransaw, Wayne.
- 50:28Speaker 3: And Husky's five, So it's five safeties.
- 50:32Speaker 4: Wait, Antonio Johnson too, County, I said Johnson, Yeah, Murray, Johnson, Ransaw,
- 50:40Speaker 4: Lane Husky, Husky.
- 50:42Speaker 2: That's five. Yeah, so ten total, So.
- 50:46Speaker 3: You want and then after that you want Montery Brown,
- 50:49Speaker 3: Jordan Lewis, Jaron Jones, Travis Hunter Is we're counting as
- 50:52Speaker 3: a CB, yep, and.
- 50:53Speaker 1: Then you want and then whoever winsm or braswell, right.
- 50:58Speaker 4: And I'm taking Muhammad, I think, but I think that
- 51:01Speaker 4: or or if somebody got cut off somebody else's roster.
- 51:04Speaker 2: There's also that possibility too.
- 51:05Speaker 3: Is that a position group where you can kind of
- 51:07Speaker 3: pick and pull and you would feel fine.
- 51:08Speaker 1: You can find guys, you can find guys, you know,
- 51:12Speaker 1: if somebody is like a great special teams player or something. Okay,
- 51:19Speaker 1: so that's ten.
- 51:22Speaker 3: That is our ten. Yes we have ten dbs. Sorry
- 51:25Speaker 3: math is not a strong suit. All right, ten, This
- 51:28Speaker 3: is our ten. It's our final ten. Monteric Brown, Travis Hunter,
- 51:31Speaker 3: Antonio Johnson, Caleb Bransaw, Jalen Husky, Jaron Jones, Jordan Lewis,
- 51:35Speaker 3: Eric Murray, Ray, On Lane jabarmahamma.
- 51:37Speaker 2: That's pretty easy.
- 51:38Speaker 1: Other than Muhammad, eleventh, the off the corner, everything else
- 51:42Speaker 1: is pretty straightforward.
- 51:44Speaker 2: I think the question in there becomes who starts.
- 51:47Speaker 3: Correct because with your safeties.
- 51:51Speaker 1: I mean, well, Murray will start, Johnson and Murray will start.
- 51:56Speaker 3: So that's obvious. But then you're two who do you
- 51:59Speaker 3: go to like who's in next?
- 52:01Speaker 4: Well?
- 52:01Speaker 2: Who who's the corners?
- 52:03Speaker 3: Here?
- 52:03Speaker 2: Here's what Yes, what's corner is Hunter and Brown?
- 52:09Speaker 1: Then is it a battle between jar and Jones and
- 52:12Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis or do you move Lewis outside? Here? Here's
- 52:16Speaker 1: the problem this Jones.
- 52:21Speaker 3: He has.
- 52:23Speaker 1: He deserves to be on the field exactly.
- 52:25Speaker 3: So that's why you have to You got to move
- 52:27Speaker 3: everybody around because you got to find a way. He's
- 52:29Speaker 3: a mall to you, gotta you gotta.
- 52:31Speaker 1: Find Here's the other thing though, guys, all four of
- 52:34Speaker 1: those guys can tackle or willing tacklers, so you can
- 52:38Speaker 1: play all four of them in a dime. And you're
- 52:41Speaker 1: in dime a lot, so I think they're gonna play.
- 52:43Speaker 1: You don't have necessarily have to bring it extra safety
- 52:45Speaker 1: in or you could play for interesting.
- 52:46Speaker 4: So you're thinking instead of bringing the extra safety down,
- 52:48Speaker 4: you're gonna have that extra corner look like a Jerry
- 52:51Speaker 4: and Jones who obviously he's more physical, so you have right,
- 52:54Speaker 4: you're not gonna correct, I got you.
- 52:58Speaker 1: But if you okay, who deserves to be the starters?
- 53:03Speaker 1: That's the question the three if you're in the face, it's.
- 53:05Speaker 3: So like arbitrary starters because they change him out so much.
- 53:09Speaker 4: So they do.
- 53:10Speaker 1: But but if you said, if you like who's your
- 53:13Speaker 1: guys is, does Jordan Lewis need to be the nickel?
- 53:18Speaker 4: I think you have to find a way to because
- 53:20Speaker 4: once again I think it's from like a being a
- 53:21Speaker 4: vocal leader and what and what he was brought in
- 53:24Speaker 4: there for. Yeah, you find him, you find somewhere to
- 53:27Speaker 4: use him. Which the way that it looks right now,
- 53:29Speaker 4: is gonna be that nickel.
- 53:31Speaker 2: So in that scenario, Travis Hunter's surely on the field,
- 53:34Speaker 2: of course.
- 53:35Speaker 1: So in that scenario, it's between Jarion Jones and Brown
- 53:39Speaker 1: who you paid, So, yeah, it's.
- 53:41Speaker 4: Gonna be Brown.
- 53:42Speaker 3: Yeah it's Onetereric I think so Jarry and Jones.
- 53:44Speaker 1: Despite all the fact that he might have been, he's
- 53:46Speaker 1: been as good as anybody at the cornerback in on
- 53:49Speaker 1: the field. That's weird to me because this is a
- 53:52Speaker 1: team an organization that preachers will play the best player.
- 53:56Speaker 3: I think you just it might be one of those
- 53:58Speaker 3: he doesn't you know, to use a bad well term,
- 54:00Speaker 3: he doesn't start, but he comes in in five minutes,
- 54:02Speaker 3: Like you know, they rotate him in quick enough that
- 54:03Speaker 3: maybe the it's not as much of an issue.
- 54:06Speaker 1: He rotates out, well, he rotate him in and Nickel?
- 54:11Speaker 1: Do you rotate him in and from Montek?
- 54:12Speaker 4: Well, where he's been playing has been Nickel, correct, So
- 54:14Speaker 4: then you'd bring out both.
- 54:16Speaker 1: Yeah, but you I think he's I think he can
- 54:18Speaker 1: be a really good outside corner if need be.
- 54:20Speaker 4: But how do you justify paying Monteric Brown what you
- 54:22Speaker 4: pay him if you're just going to bring him out
- 54:23Speaker 4: for somebody else like that?
- 54:26Speaker 2: But you've seen that got paid.
- 54:28Speaker 4: Yeah, but but that was different though, right, Like it's
- 54:31Speaker 4: not Tammy Brown where you kind of took a chance
- 54:32Speaker 4: and you said, Okay, hopefully it works out here. This
- 54:35Speaker 4: is you know, this is Monteric Brown who really earned
- 54:37Speaker 4: his contract last season.
- 54:39Speaker 1: He didn he played monter Blown played well last year. Yeah,
- 54:43Speaker 1: but has he even better in Jarred and Jones in
- 54:45Speaker 1: the summer.
- 54:47Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's a horse apiece. I
- 54:49Speaker 4: think it's debatable. Yeah, And if it's I'm going to
- 54:53Speaker 4: air on the side of the guy that you're paying
- 54:54Speaker 4: money to Right now.
- 54:56Speaker 1: And by the way, the ey'd err on the guy
- 54:58Speaker 1: who's the better player and and who can cover better?
- 55:00Speaker 2: That's the thing.
- 55:01Speaker 1: Who could if you have to play man to man
- 55:03Speaker 1: that you won't necessarily have to play a lot with
- 55:05Speaker 1: Hunter on the other side.
- 55:06Speaker 2: Correct, But which one would be better?
- 55:08Speaker 3: In man?
- 55:08Speaker 2: The man is probably better.
- 55:10Speaker 3: Yeah, this is also I think I should point out
- 55:15Speaker 3: both the veteran guys on this team got hurt last year,
- 55:18Speaker 3: so Murray missed a good chunk of time and Jordan
- 55:20Speaker 3: Lewis Mitch the whole back end of the season.
- 55:21Speaker 2: So this might be which is why you're going to
- 55:24Speaker 2: have all those young guys around.
- 55:25Speaker 1: Yeah, this might a while, but again, that cornerback room
- 55:29Speaker 1: could be one that you can get a lot of
- 55:31Speaker 1: fun little complaining and moaning and growing in about too.
- 55:34Speaker 1: I always look at that on rosters. It's fun to see.
- 55:37Speaker 1: It's a pleasant problem, but it's fun to see.
- 55:39Speaker 4: They don't have to bring in like a psychiatrist or
- 55:41Speaker 4: a therapist for this. Yeah, I mean, the wide receivers
- 55:44Speaker 4: are going to be in there.
- 55:48Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's impossible, but I would say I've
- 55:51Speaker 3: been around some teams and this is not an overly
- 55:53Speaker 3: dramatic team by any means for the most part, like
- 55:58Speaker 3: a ton of divas around here.
- 55:59Speaker 4: In tangibly rich is the word.
- 56:01Speaker 1: But when you're when you're when you're wallets starting and.
- 56:04Speaker 3: Your money comes into it, everybody gets little.
- 56:06Speaker 1: That's fair.
- 56:06Speaker 3: Everybody's different about money. All right, let's do linebackers real quick.
- 56:09Speaker 3: How many do you think they're going to keep?
- 56:13Speaker 2: Six?
- 56:14Speaker 3: Okay, so I didn't make a graphic for this one,
- 56:17Speaker 3: but Foyer is safe in my book, Oh yes, guard
- 56:21Speaker 3: Deck it's safe, compete and or Ventral Miller.
- 56:30Speaker 2: I'm keeping a sere Abdul for specialty teams alone.
- 56:33Speaker 3: So that's five. And I think normally I would say
- 56:36Speaker 3: Jack Kaiser, but he still hasn't come back from his
- 56:38Speaker 3: knee thing yet, so you might even get an extra
- 56:40Speaker 3: spot out of this position group. So you got some options.
- 56:43Speaker 3: If you want to keep Jalen McLeod, who was a
- 56:46Speaker 3: draft pick but I have not seen much from and
- 56:48Speaker 3: does not practice a ton, that's an option to keep
- 56:51Speaker 3: in the in the short term.
- 56:53Speaker 4: I'm going to say, just i've seen that practice. And
- 56:55Speaker 4: if we're going to go with the Pete Prisco philosophy
- 56:57Speaker 4: of where you get your reps, in practice and you
- 56:58Speaker 4: make the team in practice. I feel like they got
- 57:02Speaker 4: they brought in.
- 57:04Speaker 7: He he looks the part, and he's on teams too,
- 57:08Speaker 7: so yeah, and he's around I think I think he's six,
- 57:12Speaker 7: all right, and then Kaiser's Look, it's not like Kaiser
- 57:15Speaker 7: was lighted up before he got hurt either.
- 57:19Speaker 3: So that's six. So now we get to drum roll
- 57:24Speaker 3: d line. Let's do this.
- 57:26Speaker 2: That's sixteen right now.
- 57:27Speaker 3: That's sixteen, so we got ten left currently. We got
- 57:31Speaker 3: some room to wiggle, but we got ten spots left.
- 57:34Speaker 1: I'm just the starter, so you can correct.
- 57:37Speaker 3: I put I put the dummy answers in? Which are
- 57:39Speaker 3: Eric Arms, said Devon Hamilton, Josh Heinesell and Treyvon Walker.
- 57:43Speaker 3: Dickerson is a starter, so he's already in, so he's
- 57:45Speaker 3: your five. I would go j Green six for me,
- 57:52Speaker 3: Dan String l straight Ol seven, Regis Regius, Regis a
- 57:58Speaker 3: Row Row Row is nine.
- 58:03Speaker 4: I'm taking Wesley Williams just because of where they drafted him.
- 58:07Speaker 3: So that's ten. So that means you don't get Brian
- 58:10Speaker 3: Thomas or Zach Durfy. Those are both your practice squad guys.
- 58:14Speaker 4: I'm taking. I'm putting the extra I'm taking eleven here, Kay.
- 58:17Speaker 4: If I had it my way, I would take eleven
- 58:19Speaker 4: and I would put Brian Thomas Junr on that list.
- 58:21Speaker 1: Okay, so you put Brian Thomas Junior on the list,
- 58:23Speaker 1: you got to take somewhere from linebacker.
- 58:26Speaker 4: You got to take to buy off or one of
- 58:28Speaker 4: the linebackers, and then I'll take to buy off, I guess.
- 58:31Speaker 4: But we have six linebackers though, yeah.
- 58:33Speaker 1: We have somebody.
- 58:34Speaker 2: We have ten dbs, six linebackers, and we have how
- 58:37Speaker 2: many spots.
- 58:38Speaker 3: Do we have? We had ten, but if we add
- 58:40Speaker 3: Brian Thomas or Zach Durphy that would be eleven.
- 58:42Speaker 4: But how many know?
- 58:43Speaker 2: How many total spots do we have? On defense?
- 58:45Speaker 4: So we have seven?
- 58:46Speaker 3: Were twenty six?
- 58:46Speaker 4: Yeah, we had five safeties, five corners. Six.
- 58:49Speaker 3: Do we have twenty seven because we had twenty six already?
- 58:51Speaker 3: So then we have twenty seven?
- 58:52Speaker 1: Yeah, that would that would give us the extra So basically,
- 58:57Speaker 1: I think it comes down to whether you keep eleven
- 59:00Speaker 1: defensive linemen.
- 59:02Speaker 2: Or four running backs.
- 59:04Speaker 3: M what would you do, Pete?
- 59:09Speaker 1: I would keep eleven defensive lineman if I if I
- 59:11Speaker 1: think Thomas is gonna get plucked.
- 59:13Speaker 3: I think they like Brian Thomas Junior with a why
- 59:15Speaker 3: very much on defense. I think they're more concerned about
- 59:19Speaker 3: that as well, So I think that's the way they
- 59:22Speaker 3: would lean. Would you try to get a running back
- 59:24Speaker 3: or would you want no?
- 59:26Speaker 4: Because I think and the pe kind of spoke on
- 59:29Speaker 4: this in the first segment where I think it's gonna
- 59:31Speaker 4: be easier to hide a running back than it is
- 59:33Speaker 4: easier to hide either Durfy or Brian Thomas j Everybody, yeah, yeah,
- 59:37Speaker 4: and they're gonna have a feel for that. Like I
- 59:39Speaker 4: feel like Brian Thomas Junior is gonna be harder to
- 59:41Speaker 4: hide on that practice squad, So you put him on
- 59:43Speaker 4: the active roster. You put Zach Durfy on the practice squad. Now,
- 59:48Speaker 4: maybe I'm wrong, maybe all the hype of him coming
- 59:50Speaker 4: out of college and then going to Jacksonville, but like
- 59:53Speaker 4: once again, I'm gonna I'm gonna rely on the tape
- 59:55Speaker 4: what we see in the preseason games, and Brian Thomas
- 59:57Speaker 4: Juniors outplayed him. So I'm gonna have Brian Thomas Juni
- 59:59Speaker 4: the act, Zach Durphy on the on the practice squad,
- 1:00:03Speaker 4: and then hopefully you can stash your running back as well.
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: Here's another interesting debate if if la Quinn Allen's ready
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: to go for the regular season and we don't know that,
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: then do you keep Abdula? Well, you have three running
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: backs and Alan is the third down guy, so I
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: don't think you.
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: Do you put him on the peace squad?
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: Twelve years practice?
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: I don't think you don't think he's practice.
- 1:00:33Speaker 4: That sounds like a reality TV show or something right there. Yeah,
- 1:00:36Speaker 4: ala'zon prime is gonna steal that one or something.
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: But no, yeah, yeah, if you're not to let him go,
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: pet like you just.
- 1:00:46Speaker 4: You just sat there and said, you know, Jerry Jones
- 1:00:47Speaker 4: has been he's been playing at a high level, so
- 1:00:49Speaker 4: you got to find him him in the field, I
- 1:00:50Speaker 4: mean a mere Abdul has been playing pretty well. And
- 1:00:53Speaker 4: even that practice too, he's shown up.
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: But but if you're only going to keep three, well
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: you don't think he's correct?
- 1:01:00Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: Yeah, you have a really young running back room.
- 1:01:04Speaker 3: By the way, how old Chris Rodriguez he's that four
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: years so he's yeah.
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: But the other guys are what too, eight years in
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: that running.
- 1:01:14Speaker 3: Back room, a ton of experience and then Chris kind of.
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: Running back room there, you go draft them run him
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: into the ground. And draft another one. All right, to
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: need his parries. And by the way, last week when
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: I was there for that practice.
- 1:01:31Speaker 3: Was that the good deb Yeah, that was like he
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: had a great phenomenal.
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: That's what he needs to be.
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: That's him, which is sometimes hard to do in training camp.
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: But he found a way and he looked very good.
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: All right, Well, we made it look really easy. So
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: I'm going to keep track of all of this and
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: then we will compare this when we come back week
- 1:01:47Speaker 3: one and see how we did. Obviously things can happen.
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: You have him on there. I told you you wouldn't
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: get it right. I'm gonna get my honey on.
- 1:01:58Speaker 4: I told you you don't know.
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: Football like I know football.
- 1:02:03Speaker 3: Pete, your impressions.
- 1:02:06Speaker 4: I see an emisphere is not in the studio anymore.
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: He's talking real big until he's out here.
- 1:02:12Speaker 4: Saying the other day right to his face.
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: All right, stay with us. We're gonna keep it real
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: about the preseason when we come back on Dago's happy
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: Art presenting by mister Chevy's Wings.
- 1:02:29Speaker 5: But when it's somebody else, it's like I don't don't
- 1:02:35Speaker 5: don't like you, and I don't want to know who
- 1:02:38Speaker 5: you are. I don't want to check on your family.
- 1:02:39Speaker 5: I don't want to see how you're doing out the here,
- 1:02:42Speaker 5: Like I'm here to do what's being called at a
- 1:02:45Speaker 5: very high level and make the players that I was
- 1:02:47Speaker 5: supposed to make. And so that's what type of energy
- 1:02:49Speaker 5: and that's what type of things we get during you know,
- 1:02:52Speaker 5: doing these joint practice. One of ones is you know,
- 1:02:54Speaker 5: we go first thing we do at this at the
- 1:02:57Speaker 5: endies right to one the ones get your mind ready
- 1:03:00Speaker 5: and for me, that's a good mindset builder for me.
- 1:03:02Speaker 4: Just just win.
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: Josh hen' z Allen keeping it real about joint practice.
- 1:03:07Speaker 3: We're going to keep it real as well, presented by
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: Server pro like it never even happened. Welcome back into
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: Jaguars Happy Hour, Connunti Stevens, Austin Lane, Pete Prisco. We're
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: gonna keep it real about the preseason games because I
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: already know what Pete thinks about it. But are the
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: preseason games pointless at this point? Pete?
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: I don't know if they're pointless, because you know, for
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: the younger guys to get some real live reps is
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: always good, So one would be good for those guys.
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: It's pointless for the veterans in my book, I just
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: you know, I just don't think you get much out
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: of it.
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: And I know it's not live tackling and you're hitting,
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: and it's more physical than a joint practice.
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: But you know, you heard Brian Brian Thomas, I.
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: Think say the other day he gets they get more
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: out of the joint practices than they do out of
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: the preseason. And I remember back in the day when
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: I talked to Philip Rivers, he said, and I have
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: joy practices. I get tons of reps in the preseason.
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: If I did play, I might get like one series
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: and out. That doesn't get you ready for the season either.
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: So I do think that they become a little bit meaningless.
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: But for young players, no doubt they're important.
- 1:04:16Speaker 4: See, I think it depends who you talk to, because
- 1:04:18Speaker 4: there's a reason why Patrick Mahomes against preseason reps in games.
- 1:04:21Speaker 4: There's a reason why Joe Burrell get like. Everyone's got
- 1:04:23Speaker 4: a different philosophy. I'm under the philosophy of and I
- 1:04:27Speaker 4: understand health is a premium. You gotta be careful of that,
- 1:04:30Speaker 4: but there's nothing more realistic than a preseason game. Putting
- 1:04:34Speaker 4: the pads on underneath the lights, in front of the fans,
- 1:04:37Speaker 4: going through the pregame and everything like. That's just different
- 1:04:39Speaker 4: and you can't replicate that in practice. Now, sure you
- 1:04:43Speaker 4: can get a lot more reps and a lot more
- 1:04:45Speaker 4: attention in practice, but I'm not sure if that's the
- 1:04:50Speaker 4: best stimulus to try to dictate exactly how good these
- 1:04:52Speaker 4: players are. I would much rather have it when the
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: pressure's on, when the cameras are on, when you're on
- 1:04:56Speaker 4: national television, playing in a football game set aside from
- 1:05:00Speaker 4: in front of you know, two thousand fans with some
- 1:05:03Speaker 4: music going on and everything at a joint practice. But
- 1:05:06Speaker 4: I guess I'm just a little old school wh it come,
- 1:05:07Speaker 4: you know, that's my philosophy.
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: I think it's just I mean, mostly some of these
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: preceeding games look like they have two thousand fans in
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: the crowd anyways.
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: I mean, I mean it's not.
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: No. That's by the way. That's why the two preseason
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: games probably aren't going away is they charge full price
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: for the tickets. For the most part, you get concessions
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: which you don't get at training camp. They make money
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: on the parking, so the teams are making money on
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: the preseason game.
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: So why would you want them to go away completely,
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: which is why they.
- 1:05:39Speaker 4: Won't and and Deck what you said in the beginning
- 1:05:41Speaker 4: here Pete too, this is a lot more for like
- 1:05:43Speaker 4: the rookies and the young guys just trying to make
- 1:05:45Speaker 4: a roster spot or a practice squad. Like do you
- 1:05:47Speaker 4: think Liam Cohen in the middle of Tampa Bay practices
- 1:05:49Speaker 4: is going to go you know, when it's one hundred
- 1:05:51Speaker 4: degrees outside, guys are tired. Hey, guys, we're go need
- 1:05:53Speaker 4: extra thirty minutes for our fours and fives to get
- 1:05:55Speaker 4: some work and appreciate you. Yeah, we're gonna be ot
- 1:05:57Speaker 4: for an extra thirty minutes here for practice. Like no,
- 1:05:59Speaker 4: that's that's that's not how it goes, right, So you
- 1:06:02Speaker 4: just can't get rid of all the preseason games because
- 1:06:04Speaker 4: then how are you going to evaluate in terms of
- 1:06:06Speaker 4: guys trying to make teams, trying to make practice squads,
- 1:06:09Speaker 4: because it's not like you're gonna be trading away the
- 1:06:10Speaker 4: joint practice film, right, So they for an adition.
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: Veterans, would you play veterans this week?
- 1:06:18Speaker 4: I would I mean I would have played veterans week two,
- 1:06:21Speaker 4: like the second preseason game.
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: Well, he remember, and then practice?
- 1:06:27Speaker 3: Yeah, those all right? Maybe I will.
- 1:06:30Speaker 4: But Pete's answer a question, I definitely would play veterans
- 1:06:33Speaker 4: in the preseason just because I can't. I don't come
- 1:06:36Speaker 4: from the belief system of I gotta expect the worst
- 1:06:38Speaker 4: of guys getting hurt, Like I feel like, you can't
- 1:06:40Speaker 4: think like that. You can't think like that in the draft,
- 1:06:43Speaker 4: free agency or I would.
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: Have played them a little bit too. But but do
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: you play them this week after two days of work
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: with the Bucks. I mean, I don't know if they will.
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: I didn't mind it, you know, maybe ten years ago,
- 1:06:55Speaker 3: and it's kind of the opposite where it's like they
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: play a little bit in the first two games. In
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: the last game was the one where it was like,
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: really like the more developmental, younger guys. But the way
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: that now there's three instead of four. And I think
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: also when they try to add another game to schedule,
- 1:07:08Speaker 3: I'm sure that'll affect it going forward to I like,
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: I would like to see him for you know, driver
- 1:07:14Speaker 3: to kind of like what the Panthers did recently. I
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: would not necessarily in this game, this is not happening
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: for the team. That's not even an option. But I
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: think if health allows, I would like to see my
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: starting lineman, at my starting full offense out there functioning
- 1:07:28Speaker 3: at least a little bit, to see what it's going
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: to look like.
- 1:07:30Speaker 4: Because keep in mind too, they're going to have a
- 1:07:32Speaker 4: break after this, this last preseason game.
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: If they don't, Yeah, there's like an extra week this
- 1:07:36Speaker 3: year in between, which is u usual. Normally it's kind
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: of Labor Day weekend.
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: Thinks that last year, and and so you get to
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: you get time off. I mean, it's it's incredible.
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: It's a club.
- 1:07:48Speaker 4: Yeah, So I would like to see the guys. I mean,
- 1:07:50Speaker 4: like I said, I would have played preseason game number
- 1:07:52Speaker 4: two over three, but I would still want to see
- 1:07:55Speaker 4: some of the starters in there because, and I'll say
- 1:07:57Speaker 4: this much, I know we're all ways away from it.
- 1:07:59Speaker 4: When you play Cleveland on paper, the Jagos have the advantage.
- 1:08:03Speaker 4: They have talent above Cleveland in every single position. But
- 1:08:06Speaker 4: here's the thing. Physicality is also an equalizer. And if
- 1:08:08Speaker 4: you wut to say, when they bout the Cleveland Browns,
- 1:08:10Speaker 4: they're always a physical football team. So that physicality can
- 1:08:14Speaker 4: be the equalizer in terms of how much talent you
- 1:08:16Speaker 4: supposedly have on paper. That's what I would be worried about.
- 1:08:18Speaker 4: That's what I would say, Okay, we got to get
- 1:08:20Speaker 4: some physicality, and they didn't play.
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: They didn't play a lot of veterans either. You know,
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: they played their quarterbacks, but they haven't played a lot
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: of veterans either.
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: I think with the time off you go, that means
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: you go a long time without.
- 1:08:34Speaker 3: Their final padded practice on Wednesday. Then they won't have
- 1:08:38Speaker 3: pads on be hitting each other until I mean, if
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: they want to do it the week before, I guess,
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: but they're not gonna be in a real game until
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: the thirteenth of September.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: That's a long It's incredible.
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: It's a long time to go without hitting.
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: It's a very long time. I don't know if any
- 1:08:50Speaker 3: of that's ever going to change, but it it the
- 1:08:52Speaker 3: way you've seen the last couple of years. The week
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: one week two, like the product's not always polished.
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: But well, because they don't hit, they can't.
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: Get hit on week one, and they're.
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: Like, oh wait, the angles are terrible.
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: I mean, you can simulate tackling with you know, dummies
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: and everything all you want.
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: It's not the same. It just isn't.
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: And you know that, Austin and just like when blocking
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: for an offensive the offensive line play the first five
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: weeks of the season, it's not doing the league and
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: to begin with, but it's awful early in the season
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: because the timing is off. The athletes are so much
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: better on defense now and the timing is off, so
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: it's it's it's a real problem.
- 1:09:28Speaker 3: All right. Perr I Productions, the Southeast full service event
- 1:09:30Speaker 3: company has everything you need to bring your next idea
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: to life. Is it pri productions dot Com to learn
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: more about that. We kept it pretty real about the
- 1:09:38Speaker 3: preseason games, is what it is. They've got one more
- 1:09:40Speaker 3: coming up, but they've got two joint practices as well.
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: When we return, we're going to answer some of your
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: fan questions here on Jaguars Happy Hour presented by mister
- 1:09:48Speaker 3: Chubby's Wings. Welcome back in the Jaguars Happy Hour, Ken
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: Nannie Stephen's, Austin, Wayne P. Prisco, brought to you by
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: mister Chubby's Wings, and we've got some fan questions for you,
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: just a few, just a couple. First one is about
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: the offensive line. Colvin Landon activated off the physically unable
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: to perform list. He's back at practice. He's taking part
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: in individual drills but is he going to be back
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: for week one? Pete, do you think he's your right
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: tackle starting week one? I do? I do.
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: I think he's made a really good recovery. Now, look,
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: his injury wasn't you know, it was serious. But remember
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: he talked today about he was going to play at
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: one point during the playoffs out he was going.
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: To go out there. That's for sure. He's not one
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: of those guys you have to worry about. I mean,
- 1:10:40Speaker 3: typical offensive line we're talking about are almost dying and
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: they still want to play. He wanted to play.
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: Yes, I think he's there on opening day. I do.
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: I think he's the right time.
- 1:10:48Speaker 3: Is there any concern there when we're talking about he's
- 1:10:50Speaker 3: not going to have had any live hitting at all.
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: I mean, again, the rust is a concern always any
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: time you don't get to hit, because there's one thing
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: about being in shape.
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: And there's another thing in Austin. You know this course,
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: it's different, it's different.
- 1:11:07Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, unless you're Adrian Peterson, then for whatever reason
- 1:11:10Speaker 4: you can just come back after an a cl and
- 1:11:12Speaker 4: just take the lead by store. But everybody else, yeah,
- 1:11:14Speaker 4: you're you're gonna have some issues.
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: But not just the acl but just not working, you know,
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: of course, yeah exactly, But Austin, I meant to ask
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: you that what happens if you don't hit for a while,
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: and then what's your body like the first time you
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: hear the first time you hit.
- 1:11:27Speaker 4: That, It's like everything hurts like this. This is why
- 1:11:30Speaker 4: I'm so big on the preseason games too. It's because
- 1:11:33Speaker 4: like there's an acclamation period when you go live, when
- 1:11:35Speaker 4: you hit somebody, like you almost like build up cows
- 1:11:38Speaker 4: is a little bit and everything right. And if you
- 1:11:39Speaker 4: don't do that, and literally, I don't have to be
- 1:11:41Speaker 4: Kushan Juggins or who's gonna be the starting running back
- 1:11:43Speaker 4: for for Cleveland, but hit like that linebacker, that defensive
- 1:11:47Speaker 4: line who's gonna hit him the first time? They're gonna
- 1:11:48Speaker 4: feel that.
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: Man. So you know back in the day when they
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: used to hit and practice every day, Oh yeah.
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: Every day.
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: I mean the middle drill, the nine on the goal line,
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: they were all live period.
- 1:12:02Speaker 4: Team inside run was it was full speed except restns Drew.
- 1:12:06Speaker 4: I was in Restorns Drew got like the benefit of
- 1:12:08Speaker 4: the doubt. But everybody else, man, I mean I remember
- 1:12:10Speaker 4: popping I was popping Ivy profens like tic TACs after
- 1:12:13Speaker 4: the game, after the practice, just because you're so banged
- 1:12:15Speaker 4: up and sore.
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: It's pretty tough. I didn't play football, so I'm not
- 1:12:19Speaker 3: going to weigh in on this, but that sounds difficult.
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: Let's talk about this a little bit about the college situation,
- 1:12:28Speaker 3: because are they going to change the way the draft
- 1:12:32Speaker 3: functions after they've just had that ruling that players can
- 1:12:36Speaker 3: go back to college now, and then there's all this
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: like wishy washy trying to go back to get your
- 1:12:41Speaker 3: nil money. Like it's become very complex. I think they
- 1:12:44Speaker 3: kick the can down the road a long time and
- 1:12:46Speaker 3: now it's just a free for all. But what's that
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: going to look like? Pete, are they still gonna.
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: There's not gonna be that nanny there'll.
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: Yeah, hopefully. I think this is just a one off,
- 1:12:56Speaker 3: one year thing. But like to think you could go
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: and be at training camp and then go back to
- 1:13:00Speaker 3: school is throwing me off.
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: I mean, but when you think about it, it's great
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: for the kid.
- 1:13:06Speaker 4: I mean, you know the.
- 1:13:08Speaker 3: Kid.
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: They cut the kid and now he's going to go
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: make some ni O money at l s U. I mean,
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: it's great for the kid. But and and by the way,
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: has eligibility left why not?
- 1:13:21Speaker 4: Yeah? Man, but there has to be a point has
- 1:13:23Speaker 4: to be Like the NBA, I feel like where you
- 1:13:24Speaker 4: can go do the combine and stuff, right, but if
- 1:13:27Speaker 4: if you don't feel like you're getting a good grade,
- 1:13:29Speaker 4: you can't, like once you get drafted, that's it.
- 1:13:30Speaker 3: Man.
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: Like then, but the college basketball they and a kid
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: went from the G League to sure where was it?
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: Uh was it Old miss or MISSI State.
- 1:13:39Speaker 4: Or one of them? Yeah, but he wasn't drafted though,
- 1:13:41Speaker 4: like was Alabama?
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: It was Alabama to Alabama.
- 1:13:44Speaker 4: But if you get drafted like that, that's that, that's
- 1:13:46Speaker 4: the end. Like congratulations, he became a professional. Like imagine
- 1:13:49Speaker 4: and that was this kid.
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: I'm trying to think if the kid was draft he
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: wasn't drafted, he was an undrafted He's.
- 1:13:54Speaker 3: Still technically like he got chose to signed a contract,
- 1:13:57Speaker 3: signed the contract.
- 1:13:57Speaker 4: That quite professionally, right, And like, Okay, we can say, well,
- 1:14:00Speaker 4: good for that kid, you can go back to college. Fine,
- 1:14:02Speaker 4: but then imagine the kid that he's going to be replacing,
- 1:14:04Speaker 4: Like you busted your asked the entire summer, like you're
- 1:14:07Speaker 4: supposed to be the starter. Now here comes a guy
- 1:14:09Speaker 4: that was on you know, an NFL team that's.
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: Gonna taste a professional.
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: But the guys are getting paid in college on professionals.
- 1:14:15Speaker 4: I'm not saying that, man, but I'm saying that there
- 1:14:16Speaker 4: has you're a college, you're a student athlete, or you're
- 1:14:19Speaker 4: a professional. You can't go be a professional and then
- 1:14:21Speaker 4: go back to being a student athlete again.
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: I'm against want to you're an athlete, athlete.
- 1:14:27Speaker 4: You're you're an athlete, nil student athlete. Yeah, there you go.
- 1:14:33Speaker 3: I just think it's silly because they gave all those
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: extra years with COVID and whatnot, and it's like some
- 1:14:37Speaker 3: of these players are like twenty six of twenty, Like
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: how long was Stetson Ben? And like everybody was in
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: college for so so.
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: Fun Alstoin, you played the league retired.
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: If somebody came to you and said, hey, Austin, we
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: want you to play defensive end for US at ole
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: Miss and we're going to give you one point two
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: million dollars this year when you go play.
- 1:14:53Speaker 4: Well yeah obviously, yeah.
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: Change that.
- 1:15:01Speaker 4: But I'd have a nice little chick chat with the
- 1:15:03Speaker 4: guy and be replaced and be going, hey, man, I
- 1:15:05Speaker 4: know it sucks, but I kind of.
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: Like if he's not, if he's good enough, he takes
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: your jobs, maybe Tournament is going to come back and
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: take my job again on this seat.
- 1:15:16Speaker 4: Who knows. Yeah, you're right, Pete.
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: Well that means what he have he would have failed
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: in his other job. I don't think he want in
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: the city, wants that. No, no, no, no no.
- 1:15:26Speaker 3: All right. This one's about a little more about this
- 1:15:30Speaker 3: team and expectations. So what are your expectations for Borcature
- 1:15:35Speaker 3: and ran saw this season? What's it going to take
- 1:15:37Speaker 3: for them to be good draft picks.
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: Well, we got to remember with Ramsaw, he's coming off
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: a major foot injury.
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: And I think that's important to point out because I
- 1:15:47Speaker 3: know people are like, it's a second year, he got hurt,
- 1:15:50Speaker 3: Like the first week of training camp, we've seen nothing
- 1:15:52Speaker 3: of him. In my mind, they are treating him like
- 1:15:55Speaker 3: a rookie.
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: In some way, he's a rookie. And in fact, there
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: told me that the other day, they said, he's a rookie.
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: We're treating him like a rookie. His head spinning, he's
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: learning the defense. It's not reacting like he will react
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: when he understands it. When he was just standing there
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: learning the defense. It's different when you're on the field.
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: You got to react, you got to move, you gotta
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: your speed is different. You slow you know when you're
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: when you don't know the defense, you slow down. And
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: I don't think we're seeing the best of him yet,
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: So this might be a little bit of a learning
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: curve for him. As we get maybe middle of the season,
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: you start seeing him go on and because see athletic
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: ability is there, and once the smarts and the and
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: the heads and all that goes on about what he
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: has to do, I think he plays faster. So I
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: think it might be halfway through the season before we
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: really start seeing stuff from him. I think Mortgage is
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: a good draft because he's gonna block a and he's
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: a better receiver than people give him credit for.
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: He's going to be. But again, how many how many
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: guys are gonna be catching passes?
- 1:16:49Speaker 4: How many?
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: Right?
- 1:16:49Speaker 3: There's yep, and we already talked about a ton of
- 1:16:52Speaker 3: them and those ones absolutely have to get it. So
- 1:16:55Speaker 3: what do you think his role is going to look
- 1:16:57Speaker 3: like on the offense? Is here, Pete, because I'm not
- 1:16:59Speaker 3: quite sure because Cozyals looked the better pass catcher thus far.
- 1:17:02Speaker 3: I know they want him into block specifically, he still
- 1:17:04Speaker 3: got Breton Strange in there.
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: If you're gonna be there to block in line, then
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: you can bring Strange out and let him do some
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: some you know, off the line of scrimmage stuff to
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: like flex him out and get him in some one
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: on one situation. So he's a great blocker, Borki Shire
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: and I think he's again he's gonna catch twenty passes,
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: maybe eighteen, get a couple of touchdowns.
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: I think that's what you look for from him this season.
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: Yeah, they also talk about Cozel in the red zone
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: because he's a big target, yes, and he goes get it.
- 1:17:34Speaker 4: I'm gonna keep an eye on Breton Strange two in
- 1:17:36Speaker 4: the red zone because I think with that Barkershire pick
- 1:17:39Speaker 4: and everything, I think that's gonna allow Breton Strange. Like
- 1:17:43Speaker 4: you know, there's there's maybe four or five tight ends
- 1:17:45Speaker 4: in this league where you can put them out wide.
- 1:17:47Speaker 4: You can put them in different situations, one on one
- 1:17:49Speaker 4: coverage with the corner you know, you know when you
- 1:17:52Speaker 4: go trips on the opposite side and you can you
- 1:17:54Speaker 4: can do interesting things with them. They're very dynamic. I
- 1:17:56Speaker 4: think Breton Strange is on his way to being one
- 1:17:59Speaker 4: of those guys where I wouldn't be surprised to see
- 1:18:02Speaker 4: him almost ligning up at us as a wide receiver,
- 1:18:04Speaker 4: maybe one time in the red zone, throw him a
- 1:18:05Speaker 4: jump ball. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in
- 1:18:07Speaker 4: motion and and run more of like an advanced route tree.
- 1:18:10Speaker 4: It kind of like a tight end option route and
- 1:18:13Speaker 4: just kind of trust where he's gonna go find, you know,
- 1:18:16Speaker 4: some coverage in the in the defense and throw them
- 1:18:18Speaker 4: the football. Like I think he's gonna because keep my
- 1:18:20Speaker 4: last year was his first starting year without Evan Ingram,
- 1:18:23Speaker 4: so I think they're gonna put more on his plate
- 1:18:24Speaker 4: this year. And with with the rookies coming in now
- 1:18:26Speaker 4: with you know, Tanner, Cozy and everybody like that, that's
- 1:18:29Speaker 4: gonna allow him to be I think more dynamic in
- 1:18:31Speaker 4: this offense.
- 1:18:32Speaker 3: Yeah, and you see him running with the wide receivers
- 1:18:34Speaker 3: a lot on offense and they kind of utilize them.
- 1:18:36Speaker 3: They certainly want to use him that way. There's so
- 1:18:38Speaker 3: many question marks for me.
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: This is why.
- 1:18:41Speaker 3: So frustrating. Another reason he just got paid.
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: Though, yeah he did.
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: He's not gonna be bitching the guys that went and
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: thrown it to him.
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: They're gonna be right.
- 1:18:48Speaker 3: Once he get the football, they're gonna be mad. I'm
- 1:18:50Speaker 3: just I want to know what this offense is going
- 1:18:52Speaker 3: to look like. And I feel like I'm gonna have
- 1:18:54Speaker 3: no idea until they actually play in Week one because
- 1:18:56Speaker 3: of so many changes and just the preseasons not anymore.
- 1:19:00Speaker 3: So it's just so many question marks from me because
- 1:19:01Speaker 3: we're talking about this and it's like, I don't know
- 1:19:03Speaker 3: what's go look like and I don't know what's right.
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: They might play a little faster this year too, I
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: think they.
- 1:19:08Speaker 3: I think, well, certainly, let's.
- 1:19:09Speaker 4: Speak of the running game real quick. If we have
- 1:19:11Speaker 4: to go to break here, do you want to get
- 1:19:13Speaker 4: into your hot Tutin to tirade quick here?
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: Well, I mean Duton needs to be the lead back
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: and he needs to get the football and he and
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: I'm talking about how.
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: Many how many cares is he going to get a game?
- 1:19:23Speaker 3: Because also, well more.
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: Than the three you got against Buffalo for forty whatever yards,
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: it was.
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: Maybe fifty carries and five receptions get him twenty touches.
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: I just think he's different. He's the different guy I
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: saw an interest in the other day. I saw something
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: I don't know who. They tweeted out a picture of
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: Fred Taylor talking to him.
- 1:19:49Speaker 3: Yeah. I talked to Fred too, and he was saying, and.
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: What did Fred say He's talking about?
- 1:19:54Speaker 3: They were talking a little bit about kind of taking
- 1:19:56Speaker 3: over that role obviously Ten's left town and the pressure
- 1:19:59Speaker 3: of that involved, what that involved in that, and just
- 1:20:01Speaker 3: kind of tuning out the noise. And Fred was great
- 1:20:04Speaker 3: at doing that somehow, And I know it's not as
- 1:20:06Speaker 3: easy now when everything's on your phone and people are
- 1:20:08Speaker 3: kind of getting at you every other way, but just
- 1:20:09Speaker 3: kind of focusing in on that because I think if
- 1:20:12Speaker 3: he does that and doesn't let anybody get in his head,
- 1:20:15Speaker 3: I think that he'll be much better off in that regard.
- 1:20:17Speaker 3: But can he be affected by outside noise?
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: I don't well, Fred fred one said, thanks to me,
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: I got it one of my best tricks ever. I go, Fred,
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: you could probably get to two thousand this year, don't
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: you think? And he said, oh yeah, I think I
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: get to two thousand. I have my headline.
- 1:20:33Speaker 3: I Betty loved that.
- 1:20:34Speaker 4: Yea.
- 1:20:35Speaker 2: He still laughs about it to this day.
- 1:20:36Speaker 4: So just real quick, is your concern that Rodriguez is
- 1:20:40Speaker 4: going to get more of the of the reps and everything.
- 1:20:42Speaker 4: And this is where this is all coming from.
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: Like what well we keep here, it's more physical. We
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: want to be more physical. We want to be more physical,
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: and Rodriguez is more physical, correct, So when you hear that,
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: But again, if I'm playing the Jacksonville Jaguars and I'm
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: defending the Jacksonville Jaguars, I'd much rather defend Chris rod
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: Vegas than Touton and he could go sixty, Rodriguez could
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: go at his best probably twenty five.
- 1:21:07Speaker 4: And I agree with you, and I think Tutan's better
- 1:21:08Speaker 4: in the past game. But like and this is a
- 1:21:10Speaker 4: Liam Cohen staple, I think the better running back will
- 1:21:13Speaker 4: get more reps. Like you saw this when he was
- 1:21:15Speaker 4: in Tampa Bay with Rashad White and Bucky Irvin. Everybody
- 1:21:17Speaker 4: had Rashad White as the future of the Buccaneers. Here
- 1:21:20Speaker 4: comes Bucky Irving out of nowhere and he becomes the
- 1:21:22Speaker 4: Bell Kyle eventually, right like Tutans, reps will be there now.
- 1:21:26Speaker 4: What he does with them, time will tell. But I
- 1:21:28Speaker 4: think going forward, being the physical style running back, you
- 1:21:32Speaker 4: know what you're getting with Chris Rodriguez. You know you're
- 1:21:33Speaker 4: gonna get four to five yards per rep. That's what
- 1:21:37Speaker 4: they need right now because they didn't have that last year.
- 1:21:39Speaker 4: They had that a little bit with Tavis a chan
- 1:21:41Speaker 4: Or etn in the beginning of the season, and then
- 1:21:42Speaker 4: they kind of fell by the wayside in terms of
- 1:21:44Speaker 4: running the football.
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: They I wa yeah, I worry about and I go back.
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: Fred Taylor's not in the Hall of Fame and he
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: should be. Fred Taylor's one of the all time greats,
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: sure well. Fred Taylor's touchdowns are something that hurt him,
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: and Costlin used to take him out on the goal line,
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: which is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. He put
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: one time, James Stewart had five touchdowns in a game
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: because he took Fred Taylor off out of the game.
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: And so don't take Tuton out of the game in
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: goalline situations just because you think Rodriguez is the tougher runner.
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: That's not necessarily always better.
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: It's you know, and now now too, go ahead.
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: Fred Taylor could have gotten those five touchdowns easily.
- 1:22:24Speaker 4: He could have. Were getting ready to call it tooton
- 1:22:25Speaker 4: Fred Taylor because we haven't seen that from Fred Taylor.
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: No, No, there are Fred Taylors are hard to find,
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: of course. I mean, I mean he's the greatest running
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: back in the history that franchise, and Maurice was great,
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: but he's not close. Yeah, and and me, he's one
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: of the great running backs this league has ever seen.
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: So no, I'm not comparing him to him. But he
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: has the home run speed and.
- 1:22:46Speaker 4: I agree with that, Fred Taylor. But but we also
- 1:22:48Speaker 4: have to see the vision come to life. We have
- 1:22:49Speaker 4: to make sure that he can find that hole, hit
- 1:22:52Speaker 4: it and use that speed to get a long touchdown.
- 1:22:54Speaker 4: But until that time, and once again, he's gonna have
- 1:22:56Speaker 4: plenty of opportunities to be the Bell Coop. But I
- 1:23:00Speaker 4: get on airing on the side right now, Chris Rodriguez,
- 1:23:02Speaker 4: because you know exactly what you're getting with him, right
- 1:23:04Speaker 4: Like Alvin Kamara was Elvin Kamara for a long time,
- 1:23:07Speaker 4: but he was his best self, the best version of
- 1:23:09Speaker 4: himself when he had mark Ingram. As soon as you
- 1:23:11Speaker 4: asked Elvin Kamara to do everything, his numbers kind of
- 1:23:14Speaker 4: fell off a little bit. No, he's still older too,
- 1:23:16Speaker 4: got older, but like to me, he was playing his
- 1:23:19Speaker 4: best brand of football when he had mark Ingram.
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: It was like you know, thunder and which one would
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: you rather which one? Would you rather have had the football?
- 1:23:27Speaker 4: If I'm playing fantasy football, Pete, I'm going Alvin Kamara
- 1:23:29Speaker 4: all day.
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: If you're playing real football, you rather you'd rather give
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: the ball?
- 1:23:32Speaker 2: Boy here?
- 1:23:33Speaker 4: Mark, I don't want if it's If it's third and short,
- 1:23:37Speaker 4: I'm giving ball to Mark Ingram.
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: And that's why you're going to give the ball to
- 1:23:40Speaker 2: Rodriguez on third and short.
- 1:23:41Speaker 4: Sure, And I'm gonna get the ball when I need
- 1:23:44Speaker 4: four or five yards?
- 1:23:45Speaker 2: Is they're going to give it to Rodriguez on first
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: intent they are?
- 1:23:49Speaker 4: And then and then enjoy your five yards? And now
- 1:23:51Speaker 4: hey guess what, Pete, Now it's second and five, you
- 1:23:53Speaker 4: can go play action. You run the football a lot
- 1:23:55Speaker 4: of possibilities.
- 1:23:56Speaker 2: I would enjoy thirty yards.
- 1:23:58Speaker 3: But you gotta do it a league.
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: Plat do it.
- 1:24:02Speaker 3: I think it'll be given the chance. I think they're
- 1:24:04Speaker 3: going to start out with Chris Rodriguez doing what you're saying,
- 1:24:06Speaker 3: trying to get big chunks on the first down, second down.
- 1:24:08Speaker 3: But if Tutan can make the home run plays more
- 1:24:12Speaker 3: frequently than I think he starts I do.
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: I think the way they're talking, I think that's bad.
- 1:24:21Speaker 3: I don't know if it's good or bad, But the
- 1:24:23Speaker 3: way that they're talking about it, I think that's how
- 1:24:25Speaker 3: they're gonna go.
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: And that's not an indictment of Chris Rodriguez because Chris
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: Rodriguez is a grinder.
- 1:24:30Speaker 3: I think that's what.
- 1:24:30Speaker 5: I think.
- 1:24:31Speaker 3: That's because they want to come out. If they want
- 1:24:33Speaker 3: to come out and punch people in the mouth and
- 1:24:35Speaker 3: be physical and like establish themselves as a physical team,
- 1:24:38Speaker 3: that's more important to them right now. I think I.
- 1:24:40Speaker 4: Wouldn't be surprised week one if Tuton maybe has more
- 1:24:44Speaker 4: targets and carries total, like more, but I can see
- 1:24:47Speaker 4: Chris Rodriguez getting those first couple of carries. Yeah, just
- 1:24:49Speaker 4: to establish a line of scrimmage.
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: Touton should have fifteen carries for and rip off a
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: long run and end up with like about one hundred
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: yards and have five catches for forty and maybe a touchdown.
- 1:24:59Speaker 2: That's what he should have.
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: Sure, and Rodriguez should be the grinder that gets nine
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: for thirty three in a touch I mean.
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: That's what he is.
- 1:25:11Speaker 3: We'll see. I don't know, Yeah, I believe you. I
- 1:25:15Speaker 3: don't not believe you. I'm just I think that's what
- 1:25:17Speaker 3: they're going to try to start with and then they'll
- 1:25:18Speaker 3: go from there. All right, when we return, we're going
- 1:25:21Speaker 3: to go around the NFL talk about all the things
- 1:25:23Speaker 3: that are going on right here on Jaguars Happy Hour
- 1:25:26Speaker 3: presented by mister Chubby's Wings.
- 1:25:31Speaker 4: Third and about two fires, middle of the field. Up,
- 1:25:33Speaker 4: I was going to be caught inside the ten yard line.
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: That's paying it, broke a tackle to the five yard
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: line till the pylon touchdown. Turn up paying it with
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: a touchdown a twenty nine yard score on a pass
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: from Joey Aguilar.
- 1:25:46Speaker 3: It's Frank Franchie with the call the game presented by
- 1:25:47Speaker 3: Coyle Fence. Since nineteen twenty seven, we've been around the
- 1:25:50Speaker 3: block and fenced it to That was from preseason game
- 1:25:53Speaker 3: number two. That preseason game number three coming up and
- 1:25:56Speaker 3: two joint practices coming our way back here for Jaguars
- 1:25:59Speaker 3: Happy houred by mister Chubby's Wings. Austin Pete, I am
- 1:26:03Speaker 3: very excited for joint practice coming up because we're going
- 1:26:08Speaker 3: to get some actual action. And Pete, you went to Tampa.
- 1:26:11Speaker 3: What did you see when you were out there?
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: They're a good football team, yea, you know they had
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: so many injuries last year across the offensive line, they
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: were just decimated.
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: You know, they had to move their center left the left.
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: Tackle when Worf's wasn't playing, and they had two players
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: on offense start the entire season. One was Baker Mayfield
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: and he was hurt all year, and the other one
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: was Graham Barton, the center, who started at left tackle
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: for a couple of games.
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: So I think they're healthy again.
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: The offensive line is one of the better ones in
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: the league when they're on the field, and I think
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: Baker's going to have a good year. Now, no Mike Evans.
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: That changes the dynamic of the offense. But they do
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: have a lot of Guysbuca McMillan. You know, those guys
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: are going to be able to catch, They're going to
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: get better, and I think they're going to be more
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: involved in the offense. And I think defensively it comes
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: down to ken they rush the passer. Ruben Bain has
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: been everything they thought he would be and more. He's tough,
- 1:27:03Speaker 1: he's physical, he's powerful, and if you can, you know,
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: pair him with ya Ya Dabbi. You can rush the
- 1:27:09Speaker 1: passer with Videvea and you know Elijah Kanty who stays
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: on the field. All of a sudden, you got four
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: guys you can rush the pastor. That's pretty darn good.
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: So I think they're going to be better than people
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: think they are. And Baker's playing with a chip on
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: her shoulder. When Baker plays with a chip on his shoulder,
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: he is going to play well.
- 1:27:26Speaker 3: I'm excited to see you his little trial by fire
- 1:27:28Speaker 3: for the Emmanuel Pregnant. I think at practice tomorrow we're.
- 1:27:33Speaker 4: About to find out.
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: But it'll be because both those guys are good. Chancey's
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: really good too. He's been battled injuries his whole career,
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: but when he's on the field, he's a really good player.
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: So yeah, it's gonna be tough, tough sled for him.
- 1:27:44Speaker 3: All right, let's go around the NFL brought to you
- 1:27:46Speaker 3: by Paramount Plus, the streaming home of your live local
- 1:27:49Speaker 3: NFL on CBS Games and Me and of course he
- 1:27:53Speaker 3: brings us Pete Prisco and we thank them for that.
- 1:27:57Speaker 3: The Browns have finally made it official. Seawan Watson named
- 1:28:01Speaker 3: their starting quarterback. He will be in Jacksonville's starting week
- 1:28:04Speaker 3: one pe.
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: Sur prize, not one bit zero.
- 1:28:07Speaker 3: Why did they pretend like it was a thing. I
- 1:28:09Speaker 3: feel like they were going to go.
- 1:28:10Speaker 1: I I had heard talking to people up there that
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: early on in the process, Watson was clearly ahead. In fact,
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: Sanders was having trouble throwing spirals and he was not
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: operating the offense very well. As it went along, he
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: got better, but Watson did too. And Watson had more
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: of a command for the offense, and then the OTAs
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: and then training camp practices and on into the work
- 1:28:32Speaker 1: with Buffalo. Last week he was the better quarterback. Well,
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: they set him up to fail last week. They put
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: him in with the threes. He's not going to succeed
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: in that scenario, and he didn't. He looked disinterested, and
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: then he had the booze and everybody said, well, you
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: got to cut him after what he said, which is
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: stupidity to the highest level.
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: And so he gives them the best chance.
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: And for people in Cleveland who don't think that Todd
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: Montan made the decision, they're wrong. Todd is the head coach.
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: He made that decision. He feels it gives them the
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: best chance to win in Jacksonville.
- 1:29:03Speaker 2: Early in the season.
- 1:29:05Speaker 3: How long is the starter.
- 1:29:07Speaker 2: It's not like the other guys all world either.
- 1:29:10Speaker 3: I'm not saying it is, but you know how people are.
- 1:29:11Speaker 3: If it's bad, they just want to change of any
- 1:29:13Speaker 3: kind bad.
- 1:29:14Speaker 1: I don't think either one of them are very good,
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: to be honest with you.
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: And Dylan Gabriel must be missing the.
- 1:29:18Speaker 3: Other thing, can you imagine? I know, because they draft
- 1:29:20Speaker 3: him before shoot and he's not even in the conversation
- 1:29:22Speaker 3: and they're both of.
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: Their QUARTERBA quarterback going forward is in college football right now?
- 1:29:28Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean, if I'm pointing on Josh McDaniel, I'm
- 1:29:30Speaker 4: getting out of there, like it's it's way too much.
- 1:29:32Speaker 4: Why would why would you want to deal with Deshaun
- 1:29:35Speaker 4: Watson and all that stuff?
- 1:29:36Speaker 3: Calling off the page, Todd?
- 1:29:39Speaker 4: Why would you want to go because you're making ten
- 1:29:41Speaker 4: million dollars a year? Yeah, fantastic, man, But you get
- 1:29:44Speaker 4: an absolute nightmare of a quarterback room. You have one
- 1:29:46Speaker 4: quarterback and Deshaun Watson who's calling on his fan saying,
- 1:29:48Speaker 4: why are you guys booing me? When hey know why?
- 1:29:51Speaker 4: I think we all know why, And it's got nothing
- 1:29:53Speaker 4: to do with you on the field. Maybe it's not
- 1:29:55Speaker 4: a really good person.
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: I never think of a quarterback either to begin and then.
- 1:30:00Speaker 3: You haven't been for a long time, so if nothing
- 1:30:05Speaker 3: to cheer at this point.
- 1:30:06Speaker 4: No, but but that's why.
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: That's why I think Todd knows that they're going to
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: give him this year.
- 1:30:10Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think going into that situation, Tod munkins
- 1:30:13Speaker 3: a little bit older. I think he probably going in
- 1:30:15Speaker 3: was understanding of, Hey, this is going to be what
- 1:30:19Speaker 3: it is this year and then we'll kind of build
- 1:30:21Speaker 3: up for He.
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: Also is in a situation where he didn't think this,
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: this opportunity would.
- 1:30:25Speaker 3: Come for his career's taking it. Yeah.
- 1:30:28Speaker 4: Yeah, He's got a very polarizing quarterback room. I've just
- 1:30:31Speaker 4: said that much.
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: It's a terrible quarterback room. But you know what, it's
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: going to be a real good quarterback room with arch
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: Manning in it next week.
- 1:30:36Speaker 3: Go oh there we go, all right? For fantasy owners,
- 1:30:39Speaker 3: keeping an eye out Ashton Gentylet leaving practice, But it
- 1:30:42Speaker 3: looks to be a minor ankle injury compared to what
- 1:30:44Speaker 3: they thought it was going to be.
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: I mean they gathered around and said prayer, film aw that.
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: I was like an ankle injury.
- 1:30:51Speaker 3: I mean that you don't know how serious anything is
- 1:30:52Speaker 3: on a practice field and we're not there. So I
- 1:30:54Speaker 3: was like Dad.
- 1:30:58Speaker 2: And Jacksonville, we had a lower leg in injury. The
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: hockey team would.
- 1:31:01Speaker 3: Have said, keep it vague, don't give any tips to anybody.
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: I mean that one bothers me. Just tell what the
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: injury is.
- 1:31:09Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. And also, like listen, if you're gonna
- 1:31:11Speaker 4: have a prayer circle, you're gonna have to do a
- 1:31:13Speaker 4: couple of weeks. I'm sorry you need Yeah, you can't
- 1:31:17Speaker 4: have a but it's gotta be.
- 1:31:19Speaker 2: It's gotta be at least in the prayers. So yeah,
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: by the way, I did.
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: I did give my former radio partner here a little
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: bit of grief last week for lower leg injury.
- 1:31:29Speaker 2: For everybody, Come on, what are you a hockey team.
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: They don't need to know what everybody's doing. I'm getting
- 1:31:34Speaker 2: your break. I used to fight that fight with Coughlin.
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: Tell us what the injury is. They have to because
- 1:31:40Speaker 2: you know, sometimes it leaves players out to.
- 1:31:42Speaker 4: Draw and.
- 1:31:45Speaker 3: I think, yeah, it's situational, but yeah, you gotta be
- 1:31:48Speaker 3: honest with what you can be honest with. Speaking of Vegas,
- 1:31:52Speaker 3: I'm curious they have said Kirk Cousins is going to
- 1:31:56Speaker 3: start correct no.
- 1:31:58Speaker 2: Yes, yes, well they kind of said it without saying, yeah.
- 1:32:02Speaker 3: When when is Mendoza going to get in because now
- 1:32:05Speaker 3: in a week one, well, now my concern is if
- 1:32:07Speaker 3: gent he's not in there, then they're not going to
- 1:32:08Speaker 3: do it at all. They're not going to do it
- 1:32:09Speaker 3: till he's back, right, because they're not just going to
- 1:32:11Speaker 3: throw him in there with no running back.
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: Well, the Mike Washington has been really good, the rookie
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: from Arkansas, so again running back and grow on trees.
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: He pulled one off and let him go.
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: I just think Mendoza should start right away.
- 1:32:24Speaker 3: What do you what are you doing delayraft him there
- 1:32:26Speaker 3: if you didn't want to.
- 1:32:28Speaker 4: Right you're you're letting him learn. Pete because if.
- 1:32:30Speaker 1: This was a different one would have been over and
- 1:32:33Speaker 1: talk to said he learned more in one game than
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: he learned and watching ten.
- 1:32:37Speaker 4: Okay, I mean, do they get helped on Aaron Rodgers.
- 1:32:41Speaker 2: If ever Rodgers would have played right away, he would
- 1:32:43Speaker 2: have been great. There's some guys that would have been great,
- 1:32:45Speaker 2: Man Mahomes.
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: If Mahomes had played right away, he'd have been great.
- 1:32:48Speaker 4: Great.
- 1:32:48Speaker 2: This is great, okay, but there are a lot of
- 1:32:50Speaker 2: guys who sat that weren't great. They started to learn
- 1:32:53Speaker 2: and they never got better.
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: If they want, you.
- 1:32:55Speaker 4: Can go both ways on this, But like, but I
- 1:32:57Speaker 4: don't think Mendoza coming out of college was like this
- 1:32:59Speaker 4: highly talented. We have to tank from Mendoza, Like, I
- 1:33:02Speaker 4: think there's so how good.
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: He was the number one, clear number one draft pick,
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: but played right away and he was awful.
- 1:33:09Speaker 4: But it was Peyton Pete, Like they're different guys come
- 1:33:11Speaker 4: out of college.
- 1:33:14Speaker 2: Correct, But Mendoza was good at Cal two years ago.
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: People forget that he was.
- 1:33:18Speaker 4: I forgot he went to kill Honestly, Yeah.
- 1:33:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm curious if it'll translate. I'm curious to see
- 1:33:22Speaker 3: him in the NFL and what that's gonna look like.
- 1:33:24Speaker 3: Obviously Vegas is its own situation.
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: But I was like Doug Peterson when he was on
- 1:33:28Speaker 1: with me, we were talking about this a little bit,
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: and he said he played Wentz right away because he
- 1:33:32Speaker 1: felt that you get to the process quicker, you find.
- 1:33:36Speaker 4: Out what you have.
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: If you drafted him and you play him and by
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: week ten you know you got a problem.
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: You go into the next season, you have a big problem.
- 1:33:45Speaker 1: If you wait to the next season and don't play him,
- 1:33:47Speaker 1: then that all gets delayed another year.
- 1:33:48Speaker 4: When Mendoza stops referring to Joe Buck as mister bucker.
- 1:33:51Speaker 4: Yes sir, No, sir, then he can go in and
- 1:33:55Speaker 4: be my starting I'm not gonna have my starting, yes, sir.
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: He's a little different, that guy. He's a little different,
- 1:34:02Speaker 2: little Pete.
- 1:34:04Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a little different.
- 1:34:05Speaker 2: But he can play. He can play.
- 1:34:08Speaker 4: The dude hasn't touched the public school in his entire life.
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: It sounds like, yeah, it's it's different.

- 1:34:34Speaker 2: He's a strange bird.
- 1:34:35Speaker 3: Now, I'm very curious. All right, another piece of news
- 1:34:38Speaker 3: just breaking now, E v P Jaguars VP Tony BUSSELLI
- 1:34:42Speaker 3: named the NFL's Competition committee. So Pete, you're gonna get
- 1:34:45Speaker 3: in his ear about some of these rule changes. What
- 1:34:47Speaker 3: do you want to what do you want to get done?
- 1:34:49Speaker 2: Why does he want to do that? I don't know
- 1:34:51Speaker 2: why I wants to do They.
- 1:34:52Speaker 3: Want to talk about push for the eight hundred times.
- 1:34:54Speaker 1: I don't think the funny thing is they're naming a
- 1:34:57Speaker 1: guy to the Competition committee on the rules changes who.
- 1:34:59Speaker 2: Never knew the rules?
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: You have the rules? He didn't even know, he said that. See,
- 1:35:04Speaker 1: he never knew what damn rule to begin with.
- 1:35:07Speaker 4: I had to stool them on all the rules. If
- 1:35:09Speaker 4: you could change one rule, what are you changing?
- 1:35:13Speaker 2: I eliminate special teams?
- 1:35:15Speaker 4: Oh stop, you got someone out there real quick, because yeah,
- 1:35:22Speaker 4: if you have and I've taken a lot of grief
- 1:35:24Speaker 4: last year for this, but if you have a losing record,
- 1:35:27Speaker 4: you don't get to host a home playoff game. The
- 1:35:29Speaker 4: the the benefit of winning a division is that you
- 1:35:33Speaker 4: go to the playoffs, But if you have a losing record,
- 1:35:35Speaker 4: you do not get the host of home playoff game.
- 1:35:39Speaker 2: Because the play fumble out of the back of the
- 1:35:42Speaker 2: end zone. Should it be a touchback?
- 1:35:46Speaker 4: Sure? I mean, I mean, what do you get on.
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: The two yard line? A guy fumbles into the back
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: of the end zones?
- 1:35:52Speaker 2: A touchback?
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: Is should it be?
- 1:35:54Speaker 4: Do you what do you want to be a touchdown
- 1:35:55Speaker 4: like for the other team.
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: No, it shouldn't be a touchdown, but it should go back.
- 1:35:57Speaker 2: To where the ball isn't play.
- 1:36:00Speaker 4: No, that's a touchback, man, if you recover it. Okay,
- 1:36:02Speaker 4: I see, well, well I like touchback.
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: If it goes out in the end zone or whatever.
- 1:36:09Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm.
- 1:36:10Speaker 1: I'm fine with that.
- 1:36:12Speaker 3: We have a direct line to power now, so we
- 1:36:13Speaker 3: can get some of this done. I think is the point.
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: I can't believe they put a guy on it doesn't
- 1:36:17Speaker 2: know the rules, that's the NFL.
- 1:36:20Speaker 3: What if he comes in and breaks all? What if?
- 1:36:22Speaker 3: What if Tony is the catalyst we needed. They're gonna
- 1:36:24Speaker 3: make all these changes. The're gonna stop push push, They're
- 1:36:26Speaker 3: gonna do whatever.
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: To some credit though, because a lot of the stuff
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: he didn't know when he took that job he now knows.
- 1:36:31Speaker 3: Do you think, well he's fully ingrained in it now
- 1:36:33Speaker 3: for sure.
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: Well, he's so deep in it it's amazing.
- 1:36:36Speaker 3: And look, I get I kidded him a lot, but
- 1:36:40Speaker 3: he is in and he's perfect, so much so that
- 1:36:43Speaker 3: I call.
- 1:36:43Speaker 2: Him baby Tom Coughlin.
- 1:36:45Speaker 4: Then there we go. Keep it so paranoid.
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: He's so paranoid, just like Tom Goaughlin used to do.
- 1:36:50Speaker 3: So I wonder why Pete too many years with you
- 1:36:52Speaker 3: he's a little bit paranoid, and then.
- 1:36:54Speaker 1: We can't gunshot.
