• 1:35
  Speaker 7: time of year, and maybe.
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: I gotta say it would have been worth you missed
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: it on SAT.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest.
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: We saw some stuff.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: I saw a lot of stuff too, I mean from
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: my from my vantage point, I saw the guys lining up.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I saw him doing individual drills. I saw him going
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: through stuff.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: I saw the tight ends making plays, catching passes.
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: I think we saw.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Doing some things.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: It was very is very impactful in terms of being
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: able to line it up and make some decisions in
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: terms of what I'm looking for going forward as we
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: transition into the next phase and get ready for the
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: camps and all that other stuff.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: I'm really excited about where we are.
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: Was that was spoken like a man who makes his living.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: On a lot of podcasts. You know what's gonna happen.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: He's gonna go on the Raiders website and say the
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: same exact thing.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: That he's Justoza really throwing it.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, Bucky just did right there.
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: He moved the sticks. He moved the sticks on. Oh,
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: the sticks have been moved. I mean schedule or or
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: or mini camp.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: First, like we're on it right now. And that was
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the thing we were kind of looking for. Okay, the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: tight ends, Sure, can they move around?
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to see a lot of offensive line,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: you know, technique all that stuff, but how do guys move?
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: And that's yeah, kind of the only thing really you
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: can take out of it.
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: And I don't know what you saw from three thousand
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: miles away, Bucky, but it certainly seemed like the tight
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: ends moved well to me. I was struck by how
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: much Borcature sort of reminded me of strange just build
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: and you know, I guess the whole storyline second round
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: pick now I know much about him being more impressed than.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: If I expected to be.
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: He didn't have any expectations, but being impressed with the
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: first view of it.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: And then Cozy has got some size them.
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: Yes, So I mean it's uh, I guess maybe I'm
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: slipping into sort of football one oh one mode.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: X's and O's guy.
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: But I'm fascinated by how this tight end stuff is
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: going to look next year, the more you start putting
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: it together and thinking about it. Liam talked about it
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: after practice, and I was struck by how he said, Hey,
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: there were games last year we only had two up,
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: meaning two tight ends, and he said, I didn't want
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: to live in that.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: That's not a world I want to live in.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: He said he appreciated Van Lannon and Schuma being able
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: to do what they did in that, but he clearly,
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: you know, and they lost three times without Brenton, so
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: clearly that was something that they did not want to
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: be unprepared for.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: They talked.
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: They talked a lot about always having versatility on offensive line.
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: That's a theme for James. It's pretty clear that it's
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: it's going to be a theme. We got to make
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: sure we can run this package.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it tips your hand obviously if you put
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: an extra offensive lineman out there, buck a little bit.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, in preparation for the thing, I got
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: some notes, some notes from Ricky mini camps. Yeah, so
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: I have some notes, I have some color coordinated highlights,
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: and so I'm glad that we got to the tight ends.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: So The thing about the tight end situation, and what's
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: really interesting to me is last year in the league,
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: there were eighteen hundred snaps with three plus tight ends
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: on the field. Tight Ends accounted for almost twenty eight
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: almost twenty nine hundred catches last year. Last year, the
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Jaguars had two hundred and two plays with two tight
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: ends and thirty one plays with three tight ends. This
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: to me is part of a trend where the Jaguars
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: are trying to catch up with the league. The Rams
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: are obviously the north star when it comes to thirteen personnel.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: They had one hundred and thirty one snaps. So if
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: you think about how Liam learned offense and how he
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: wants to grow this offense, and there's going to be
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: some similarities between what we do and what the Rams do.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: You got to have enough players to be able to
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: pull some of those things off. So the post practice
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: comments where he talked about not wanting to live in
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: that world where we didn't have a lot.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Of tight ends, well, what do you do.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: You go get two tight ends and draft you have
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Bread and Strange, You probably keep another maybe Quinton Morris.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Now you have four tight ends on your roster. That
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: gives you the flexibility to jump in all kinds of
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: different formations and personnel groupings to keep the defense kind
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: of guessing. And when I think about the athletes that
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: you bring in, Borkasher is a wide tight end. Many
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: you want to put him typically right next to the
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: tackle and.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Then have the other tight end move around.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: This gives us the flexibility to not in line up
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: in what we say like ace personnel with tight ends
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: on each side. But now you can put bretton Strange
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: in the backfield, you can move them out wide, you
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: can show the defense a bunch of different looks without
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: changing the personnel. And then when you think about creating
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: mismatches in those things, it really sets the table for
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Breton Strange to be an even bigger part of the offense.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: So while everyone is talking about, well what are they
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: gonna do with wide receiver with Brian Thomas Junior and
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Parker Washington and those things, I think the X factor
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: to this offense going forward is the utilization of the
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: tight ends and how many different ways and iterations we
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: can use various personnel groupings to get those guys on
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: the field.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: To your point to go about the rams.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Remember of course, the Rams game against the Jaguars, they
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: had two injured wide receivers.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Puka did and play in the game.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I think ad Will turned an ankle or something early
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: in the game real and then they scored four red
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: zone touchdowns out of thirteen personnel and they had eight catches.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: The tight ends did that day for just over one
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: hundred yards and a score. The rest went to Devonte Adams,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: but the tight ends were huge in that game for
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: LA obviously.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: You think Liam thought about that a lot on it
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: on the seven hour ride home.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah.
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: And I think he was playing without brenton that day,
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: if so, We talked about it, I think last week Buck.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: But I'm not a big comp guy around the league
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: because I don't watch as much around the league as
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: you do. I don't get the chance to what can
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: Brenton be? I mean, I know he's going to be
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: better with this, But for fans who watch a lot
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: around the NFL, is there a comp can he? I mean,
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: I just see this talent. I already think he's one
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: of the best tight ends in the NFL. But can
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: he ascend to Pro Bowl all pro level with this
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: kind of commitment to the position.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's really good, and I think we haven't even
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: fully scratched the surface on his potential. I think if
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: he's a featured player, he can put up the kind
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: of numbers that are astronomic. Look, I can see him
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: being a seventy five to eighty catch guy in an
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: offense that is really.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Committed to throwing the ball all over the yard.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: I can see him being pretty much like a number
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: one option in the passing game, given his ability to
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: create and exploit mismatches. The thing about it is trying
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: to figure out how do you best utilize him while
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: also making sure that you do things that fall well
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: within Trevor Lawrence's willhouse And so some of that is
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: what they're experimenting with over the course of the summer
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: going into training camp. How can we make sure that
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: we get bred and strange prime opportunities while making sure
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: we stay true to what Trevor Lawrence does really, really well.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: So some of the I would say, the upgrade and
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: tight end personnel, some of the desire to put more
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: tight ends on the field.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: A lot of it will.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Be determined by what Trevor's able to do and doing it.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: But in terms of comparison. Look, man, there's no reason
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: why he can do some of the things that we've
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: seen Travis Kelce do.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Not seeing that he's.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Gonna be like a gold Jackie guy, But there's no
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: reason why he can't be a Pro Bowl player in
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: this offense being asked to do the things that he's
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: gonna be asked.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: To do going forward.
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah, JPI, I think it's fascinating because to me, we've
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: talked about it a lot, I already think he's one
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: of the best I don't know, three or four players
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: on the team. To me, he's a core foundation piece,
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: and I'm trying to imagine next year an offense where
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: once or twice the game you get him out in space,
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: he's catching the ball and running full speed at a corner.
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: The corner doesn't want that, No, not at all. But
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: it again fits to this idea that I think a
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: lot of people who weren't watching closely missed how physical
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: this team was last year. I really think that with
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: Brenton Moore involved in the passing game, with his mood
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: to tight ends, they're gonna be more obviously physical, They're
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: already physical, but I think I think you're they're going
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: to see that as a more punch in the mouth team. Uh,
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: then maybe people realize what they are.
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: I think they are that all right.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: It was Britain so versatile anyway and can block and
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: do everything coming out of Penn State. That was really
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: his m Like he's all over that offense and moving
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: and pre snap motions to all these things lining up
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: in the backfield.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: And we've seen that here.
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: He's fun to watch anyway. How much fun is he
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: going to be in this?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, when he has there's more options.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Guys can block for him and then all of a
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: sudden he's running around. Yeah, so that all the options
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: are on the table, which is great.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: And go ahead, go ahead, no, no, go ahead, say what
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: you canna say, because I have plenty of gas. Because
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: it's not only about Britain strange, it's about how these
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: guys can also help Brian Thomas get back on track.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: I think my question was going to be, how can
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: these guys help Brian Thomas.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: You guys are like wired in together today. It's amazing.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: Well you know, I mean, I mean JP, that's what
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: you do when you prepare for a podcast, like you
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: have plenty of know some plenty of stuff to be
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: able to get out there. So obviously Jo and I
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: took it very very seriously coming in that, hey, we're
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: going to talk about some of the things as it
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: relates to the jacket.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Took it to you distracted.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: On the real I really think this is a great
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: bounce back opportunity for Brian Thomas Junior. And I know
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: there was like this negative feel about his season last year,
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: but when you really dig into it, last year, he
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: avers the same yards per catch average that he did
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: his rookie season.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: He averaged fourteen point seven both years.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: And I know people are saying like it was this
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: fall off, but when you look at that in the
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: big plays, it shows up.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: And then when you go and you do.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: A deeper dive the last six weeks, we kind of
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: discover that other thirty one targets, twenty one of them
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: were outside the hashes. Now, Liam has talked about vertical
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: and outbreaking routes being his thing, and there's nothing wrong
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: with that. When you think about putting more tight ends
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: on the field, and let's just say you put two
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: tight ends on the field, two.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Back and you have one wide receiver. That one wide
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: receiver is Brian Thomas Junior.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: You now have eliminated the ability to really double team him.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: You now create one on one opportunities where he can
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: do the things that he does really well by showing
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: the illusion of the running game to allow him to
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: run those vertical routes. I know that Liam is desperate
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: to get the deep ball in the explosive plays in
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: this offense. Some of the move to go more tight
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: ends on the field is designed to force defenses to
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: play what we call off coverage where Brian Thomas Junior
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: gets free access. And I don't care what people say,
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: he is still one of the better wide receivers in
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: this league. We got to do a really good job
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: of creating maximum big play opportunities for him to do
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: what he did his rookie season and what he's shown
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: and flashes to do his sophomore season.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Buckey makes a good point about the deep stuff outside
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: later in the season, because everybody was kind of spooked
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: because of the early season lack of production. Seven drops
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: in the first nine weeks, a lot of you know,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: ducking out of routes, in breaking routes that just didn't
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: feel like the right thing, and then the adjustment John
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: they made it mid season.
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think what you're going to see too,
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: I would guess you're going to see. Last year everybody,
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: all defenses were focused on BTJ. I don't think going
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: into this season that you're going to see that as much.
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: I mean, I'm sure you'll see it some, but I'm
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: not sure he's going to come into this season as
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: the guy that people are doubling because I'm not sure
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: it's a very smart way to play the Jaguars right now.
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: I mean, are you going to ignore Parker Washington, Jacobe
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: all the tight ends? So I think you may see
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: Brian Thomas Junior getting better looks and less shading.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: All of that.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: It always evolves.
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: I mean, defense is adapt and it always kind of circles.
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: So I expect him to get more opportunities.
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: And I'm not sure.
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: I think we talked about this a lot on this
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: podcast last year, Bucky, but I'm not sure that BTJ
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: has to be a true one in the sense that
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: everybody talks about you know that you're talking about him
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: on national stuff in order to really help this team.
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: I'm not sure this offense has to have that true one.
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: If he's the compliment. If he's the guy that every
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: three or four games, defenses go oh we have to
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: double him. Well, now it opens somebody up. If he's
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: part of the complimentary package, I think that it probably
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: serves this team very well.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: So it's so interesting because I think this conversation about
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: Brian Thomas Junior, I think we have more perspective now
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: that we've had two seasons on him. I think we
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: were really excited about what he was able to do
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: as a rock. He had over twelve hundred yards, ten
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: touchdowns and those things. We hadn't really seen that kind
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: of production on the outside in Jacksonville for a long time.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: He had Alan Robinson who had a one off year.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: You have some bits and flashes and pieces. I mean,
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: I'm DJ was a Pro Bowl player, but it wasn't
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: quite like Jimmy Smith. We were talking about Brian Thomas
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: Junior being an elite number one receiver.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: The thing that is different.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: Brian Thomas Junior at LSU was the compliment to Malik Neighbors.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: He played more of a number two role, or you
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: could say one A, one B, but he was more
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: of a number two role at LSU. It is extremely
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: rare that someone goes from playing a role as a
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: complimentary player to be in the main feature. And the
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: reason why is because I think BTJ saw a little
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: bit of this last year. When you become the number
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: one in the league, you get all of the attention.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: Not only do you see the best corner if you
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: don't see the best corner shadowing you, you now get
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: all the double coverage and your ability to be a
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: number one is none of those.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Things bother you. Whether you're facing Pats or Tan, they're extingly.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: You continue to put up the consistent production that is
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: expected of a number one double team, and.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: They load his own, you find a.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: Way to still have an impact in spite of those things.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: I don't know if he's that, but what I do
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: know is he's the most talented receiver that we have
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: on the receiver corp and our job is to make
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: sure we put him in a position to play to
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: his strengths. And if we're seeing the strengths of his game,
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: as we've seen over two seasons, vertical balls, things where
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: he's on the move, outbreaking routes where then we're going
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: to ask him to do those things by using the
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: strengths of the other guys Jacobe Meyers being able to
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: catch the underneath stuff, Parker Washington working over the middle,
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: being of a bit of a playmaker, and it really
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: Travis Hunter is the wild card. I think BTJ can
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: get back to being a thousand yeard receiver talked about
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: as a number one, even though he's not necessarily a
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: true number one, and be very impactful to the Jaguars
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: continue to have a lot of success on offense.
• 16:53

  Speaker 1: Very very soon.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: The Jaguars part of the NFL International Series of course.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: The games announced Wednesday morning. The international slate including two
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Jaguars games, the Eagles at the Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspurs
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Stadium October eleventh, the Houston Texans at the Jaguars at
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Wimbley Stadium, London, October eighteenth, both teams that have played
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: the Jaguars in London before.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Both the Eagles and the Texans won their.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Respective games against the Jags in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: back to back years at Wimbley.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: John, So here they are back to back.
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the the Eagles game that year was a great game.
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: The Jag was we're starting to decline off off of
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: seventeen and it was it was sort of in the
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: middle of the fall.
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: But the jag was played very well that day.
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: In almost one. The Texans game was a little bit
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: of a fiasco.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Jaguars turned it over four straight times in
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was.
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: It was the game that Minshew manias sort of started
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: to get exposed a little bit. So, you know, neither
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: of those are particularly great memories that we have to
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: rehash a whole long time on this show.
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: Thanks for bringing it up.
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: John, But it's you know, I've gotten some questions already,
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: people mad about the league taking the Texans game away.
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: I you know, you know, look, if you're gonna have
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: two games over there, something's got to be played over there.
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: So the reality is fans tend to look at games
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: that get put over there as a punishment of some sort,
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: like why are are they taking this from us? And
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: the league really doesn't look at it that way. To
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: the league, is just another home game, you know, and
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: it's a home game, and when they're doing the mathematics
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: of the schedule, that's.
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: How they see it.
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: So it's not as if the league is saying, oh bad, Jaguars,
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: we got to put it over there. It's the game
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: that's over there. So from the perspective of if you
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: believe that going over there for two weeks and having
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: experience at it as an advantage, which it's supposed to be,
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: then they have to take advantage of.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Here's the home games remaining for the Jaguars that we
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: played at in Jacksonville. Call up here you go, just
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: to fill the rest of this out. Indianapolis here, Tennessee here,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Brown's here, Steelers here, Commander's here, Patriots here.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: Those are the games in Jacksonville.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we should take it actually as a compliment.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: I think if you look at those two games that
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: are over international games, we should view them as prime
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: time games because the world will have an opportunity to
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: watch them because we'll play before anyone else kicks off.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: And so you think about the Eagles first a prom
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: in essence like a prime time game. It says to
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: me that the league believes the Jags are gonna be really,
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: really good.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: It gonna be one of the top teams in the AFC.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: Sit will want to showcase them and that matchup with
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: the Texans in particularly given the rivalry and given the
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: intensity and physicality that is normally associated with it, it
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: is an opportunity for the world to see that playout,
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: as opposed to being tucked away at one o'clock with
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: fifteen other games or whatever, like whatever.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: They have an opportunity to really show themselves.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: And if this team is what we think it will
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: be this year, it can be a tremendous opportunity to
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: use two overseas games to our advantage to really separate
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: ourselves from the rest of the AFC. But look, it's
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: gonna be tough because both those teams are gonna be
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: expected to be really really good.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Premium game right Super Bowl preview the first game rights
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Jags right, and the.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Next week at AFC South title beout. Maybe yeah, yes,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: but it's it's uh, well, okay, maybe a little.
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: And it also speaks a little bit to the league
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: trying to make sure those games over there are increasingly better. Yeah,
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: there's been years where they felt like they're sort of
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: putting a game there where it hasn't always felt premium,
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: perhaps because the Jaguars haven't always been premium going over.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: There, that's true.
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: But these are you know, both of these games are
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: are featuring teams that what twelve win games, I mean
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: not twelve win teams last year, I forget I made
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: the Eagles one, but they were up there. They're up there,
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: so yeah, so it's it's two premium games. But when
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: your team's thirteen wins last year, you're involved in more
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: premium games and when they're not.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: To your point about those analysis the games.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Not being as great, well, it was up until twenty
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: twenty two was the first time that both teams had
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: a winning record in a London game going in right,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: it was the Giants and the Packers. Okay, so like
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: and then I think last year the Rams Jaguars was
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: like the deepest end of the season where both teams
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: or something like that, so it took that long to
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: get winning record, even that early in a season.
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: So clearly putting the putting Houston to Jacksonville over there
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: is the reason is a big It's a big game
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: that I think is going to continue to get beer.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: So looking for you, yeah, I mean it's a huge game.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: It's a big game. It should be great.
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: I anticipate we probably get the buy week right after
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: that last game, and so to have those two games
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: going into it and probably be in the middle of
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: the season, it gives you a great chance to kind
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: of figure out who you are and where you are
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: and really how to go forward. So I look at
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: them as great opportunities to kind of assess ourselves, much
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: like last year we got a chance to see our
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: sales against Seattle and some of those other top teams
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: where we could kind of use them as a barometer
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: and a gauge of where we're at. These two games
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: will kind of let us know at the midway point, Okay,
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: this is where we're at, and this is where we
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: need to improve to be the team we want to
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: be down the stretch.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: There'll be an important hole in the Jacksonville part home
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: schedule because they'll do some heavy construction in that three
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: to four week period as well while the team is
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: not playing in the building here in Jacksonville. The full
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: international schedule announced Thursday, September tenth, Niners Rams Melbourne, Australia
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: with the cricket ground. September twenty seventh, Ravens Cowboys in Rio, Brazil,
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: and then of course October fourth, Colts Commanders at Tottenham Hotspur,
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Eagles Jaguars, Texans Jaguars and three straight weeks in London,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: then Week seven, the week after that in Paris, the
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Steelers and the Saints first NFL game in the French capital,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: and then November eighth, couple weeks after that Bengals Falcons
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: in Madrid, November fifteenth Patriots Lions in Munich, Germany, and
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: then November twenty second, it's back to Mexico City the
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Vikings and the forty nine Ers. Two international games for
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: the forty nine Ers this year, one in Australia another
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: a little closer in Mexico.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Is what it is.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Get used to it because it's not going there, and
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: in some years it'll be every week there will be
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: so here we go.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: The national games are.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: In look Man This is a money maker.
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: And one thing that the league has done is they
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: have learned how to print money and a bunch of
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: different things. Whether it's these international games that will eventually
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: be sold off to packages for TV or our streaming services,
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: whether it's just taking advantage of having so.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Many people worldwide having interest in the.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Game, being able to pack all these various venues, all
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: of it is working for the league right now. Like
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: I hate to say it, but right now they can't miss.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: Like anything they do kind of hits and hits in
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: a major way. This is a big part of the
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: way the league wants to continue to globalize the sport.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: So we get a chance to see it, and luckily
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: for us, we get to go to the same destination,
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: not going all over the place.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: At least we know exactly where we're going to go
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: each and every year.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah ya, And it's hard. It's a hard it's a
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: hard sport to.
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: Globalize because it's not, you know, organic in a lot
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: of places. I do a question whether they could do
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: it fifteen to twenty years ago, but it's important to
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: them because you can tell with baseball and with basketball
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: you have to try to keep up and they're trying
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: to look fifteen twenty years ahead to make sure the
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: game survives after I don't.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Well, let's all survive until tomorrow because the schedule comes out.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: We'll see the full schedule tomorrow night eight o'clock, the
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: official time. We'll have a recap show here on Jaguars
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: dot com as well whenever that happens.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: So looking forward to seeing the schedule.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: We got Phase two continuing this week and next, and
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, OTAs get here, John's favorite.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Part of the office.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: I'm sure Buck, you'll be there too.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you'll be here right there. I got a front
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: road thing now. I got to make sure that it's open.
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: I'm able to watch and you guys can see me.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: I don't know how you miss me over because week,
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: but sometimes it happens like I may be tucked away
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: at the perch just kind of watching and overlooking everything.
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: But between Phase two happening the schedule release that is
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: going to take place on Thursday, I love this part
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: of it because there's nothing what I loved in picking
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: how the season's going to play out. All of the
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: pronoxication that is going to take plays over the next
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: few days.
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: I just love seeing next Wednesday show right on the list.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, strength the schedule.
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: W w W l w w w w W.
• 26:13
