  Speaker 1: Jaguarris Drive Time starts right now time Friday morning. Brought
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to you by the Fields Auto Group. It is Friday,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and it is week one of the regular season, which
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: means we are thrilled to start the show with head
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: coach Doug Marron joining us. Now, a little difference this season,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: a little different look normally he's sitting here right with us,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Coach Marone. I want to know basically about the coffee
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the David Wolf run into your office and still bring
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you your cup of coffee for coffee with the coach. No,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I had to. I had to get up early this
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: morning and go get it myself. But but that's okay.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I like it more you can do? Are you kidding me?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: We've got enough going on. You can't even get a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a coffee? Oh no, No, I can get a cup
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: of coffee. That's not a problem, alright, coach. So does
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: it feel like week one with all of this going on,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: this long training camp? It's so different? But what is
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: similar about this week? Well? I think you know it's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: it's the same thing. You know, you got a game
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to play Sunday. But I don't I don't think you
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: can say anything similar as far as um. The only
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: thing that probably uh that where you feel like you're
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: not thinking about all the different things that are going
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: on is probably just when you're practicing on the field.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: But the walk through is are different. Everything is different,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the whole building is different. Um, going to the game
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: will be different. And then you know, I just think
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: when you're between those lines or when you're out on
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: that field, I think that's the only time that you
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: go back to you know, feel uncomfortable of hey, this
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: is this is this is football, this is what we're
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: doing and and and really that's it. Practice field Monday,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: after all you had been through, or after all everybody
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: had been through, to get back out there, and there's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: that feeling on Monday when you've got your team. What
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: was that moment like or do or did that stand
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: out at all? When you've made your cuts, you've got
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: your guys you're going into the season with. You know,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: it was pretty good. I mean I mean this year,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you know, we had a roster of eighty and we
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: were going to be able to keep sixteen players on
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: on a practice squad. Obviously you're allowed to keep six
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: veterans as part of that six team. Um. You know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: so really at the end of the day, it's you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of people that aren't leaving and uh,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you know, we had two players that were suspended from
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the league. Um, so that reduces the number. So, um,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you know, it's always difficult that day. It goes two ways.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: You know, you're releasing players that weekend, give yourself a
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: little time to kind of, you know, get get rid
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: of that feeling that's that's always a terrible feeling. And
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: then and then having the team together when you start
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: on Monday is uh, you know, it's fun. It's like, okay,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: here we go. We're starting off. Coach, I'm wondering if
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: you've ever been a part of a team with as
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: many first year players, you know, inexperienced players as you've
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: got in your professional career. Obviously maybe in college it's
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: different with freshman coming in, but sixteen rookies and first
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: year players who were on this roster, and how has
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: your approach changed, if at all, with as many young
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: guys who haven't played NFL football yet. Yeah, I think
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: You're right, I do relate it a little bit too. Uh,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you know, I think it's tougher for a freshman in
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: college to come in and and and play befom. I think,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you know, that's the biggest difference from a physic physical standpoint.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: You know, you guys that are in a college program
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: for a couple of years and guys just come out
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of high school and they were just there probably for
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the year before working the training, So a little bit tougher,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I think transition, and you know for those players, and
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I think you know, for the young players that are
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: here now, it's uh, you know, it's so different, you know,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: really for everyone. So the young guys didn't really know.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: They don't really know what to expect. This is their
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: first time um playing which you know, all the protocols,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: all the rules, everything that's going on, you know, limited
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: fans or no fans, you know, as we worked our
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: way through the season. Um. I just think it's one
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: of those things where the youth actually comes into play
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: as a benefit, you know, for them and not you know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: without the expectation of just of doing it. I still
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: think they had an expectation of of where they were
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: when they thought about what it was to be like
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, but you know it's it's obviously changed
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: quite a bit. So, um, you know, they're young guys,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: they're hungry, they're excited. I mean that that that's something
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: that you know, you know, and I'm excited to see
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: how they play. I mean to sit here say, oh,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I know exactly how they're going to be able to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: go and exactly how they're gonna play. Um, you don't
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: because some guys step up, you know what I'm saying,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and no type of situations. Some guys, um, you know,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: make some mistakes and you know the question is can
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you move on to the next player? Is that play
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: gonna you know, linger with you the rest of the game.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: These are things that we'll find out as when we
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: play on Sunday. But like I said, I feel confident
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: these guys are excited to get out there and play
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Sunday's game. Go ahead, John, Okay, thank you so kind
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: of you, coach. Looking forward to Sunday's game against the Cult.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: A little different look at quarterback with Philip Rivers. We've
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: talked all week about what makes him so successful seven
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and two against the Jaguars, So what is different about him?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: And why is he different than other quarterbacks that he's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: so successful against this team in particular. Well, I mean,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: you know, he's been successful against a lot of teams,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and he's a successful versus us like a lot of
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks have been. We haven't, you know, over a period
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: of time. We haven't been consistently winning obviously outside of
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: just a one year, So you can pretty much stack
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: numbers up from guys that we played, uh with with
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: those type of winning records. But with Philip, you know,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: for seventeen years, he's been in this league, so since
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: seventeen season, and you know, he's an unbelievable competitor. Um.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: You know, we all know that both on and off
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the field, and you know he can just he could
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: take advantage of all the plays, meaning that you know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: if they got a play called, then there's a look
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: that they don't like, whether it's run or pass. You know,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: he has the ability to get that team into a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: play where they have an opportunity to be productive. I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: think that, Um, you know, that's that's that's just strength.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: And you know obviously you can throw the ball well
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and um, you know, probably didn't have the type of
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: year he wanted last year, um, you know with the turnovers,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: but you know it's a different year for him this year,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: and it's to create a great challenge for us, which
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by something you said Monday about this team
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: should be able to handle whatever is thrown at it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: You like this team in that way, its ability to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: overcome adversity. What is it you see in that bunch
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: that you like about that? And how important is that
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: to you as a coach. Well, it's important for me
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: because you know, you try to build that in a team.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: You try to build you know, where you where you
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: don't have these distractions, whether they're coming from the outside
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: or whether they're coming from within the team. And the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: thing that I look for is you know, you know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: people will talk about leadership, which is important, but uh,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and I think we have good leadership at all different levels.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: You know, young guys coming in, guys that have been
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: here one or two years, and some some other older
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: players and that's reflective and you know when you look
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: at our captains so um. But the main thing is
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: just a communication. You know, how guys can have tough
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: conversations or um and really think about what's best for
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the team, excuse me, UM, And we've done that in
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: many different areas. You know, whether it be um, you know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: things that are going on within the team. Uh, you know,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: how we want to look what our vision is and
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: you know, we're constantly talking about our vision and what
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: we want to look like, what we want to be
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and UM, you know, the guys believe in it, and
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and that's important. And and then every year you're gonna
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: be hit with adversity, and there's no doubt about it.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I really think how you handle it, because if you
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: don't handle it well, then you don't have the opportunity
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to get better as the year goes on goes on.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I think if you do handle it, you're gonna get
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: better each and every week. And and that's what you
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: want to do as a football team. Coach had the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: opportunity to speak with running back James Robinson on Wednesday,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and everyone was saying he's a very quiet guy on
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: an off field and they weren't kidding, but when he
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: was talking about his on field performance, he was saying,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: he's really not surprised that he's in the position he
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: is right now, getting ready to play on Sunday, as
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: an undrafted freed and he was telling us how coach
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Grewden asked him every single day, Hey, are you nervous yet?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: And he says no. So at what point for you
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: during camp did you look at him and say, all right,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: this guy's got it one make this team, but play
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a big role on Sunday. Well, I think I think
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: it went back to college, you know. I mean, he's
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a guy that played a lot of a lot of
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: football in college. You know, you can see by the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: screen there. Um, you know, he had a lot of yards,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of yards per carry, a lot of touchdown.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, so he you know, you're talking about someone
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: out with a productive player. You know, he's five nine,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: two twenties, probably one of the most explosive players that
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: we have from the standpoint of you know, the weight
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: room and things of that nature, as far as his
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: explosion and you know, really just you know, when when
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you come out on the field, you you don't know.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: So the first time you come out there and they
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: start running, you're like, Okay, that's that's pretty good, you know,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: and then then all of a sudden he does it
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: another day. You know, like that's two days in a row,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: he's done it well. And all of a sudden, you
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: start seeing things that you know that are instinctive, whether
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you're pressing the hole or making the right cut or
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: having ability to you know, trust the lines, blocking schemes
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: and and and and all of a sudden, you know,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: you start putting the back to back to back to back,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: you know, really great days together. And now you have
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to make a decision. You gotta say, hey, listen, um,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: you know, is what we're seeing you know that? Is
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: it not right? Is it wrong? Uh? Or do we
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: really believe in what we're seeing? And I think, you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: at a time where you've got to take the names
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: off the back of the jerseys, you gotta take um,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: you know, where they were drafted, how much money they're
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: making and everything. Just put them on the field and
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and let there, let them earn a spot. And and
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: James did that. He earned that spot, and he earned
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: it by going out there and working every single day.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: So for me, uh, I'm excited for you know, a
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: guy that many people didn't know about and the guy
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that's really earned it. And now he has an opportunity
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and when we expect him to take advantage of it,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: absolutely very excited to see him in all sixteen of
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: those rookies on Sunday against the Polts head coach Doug Brown.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for taking the time on coffee with
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the coach. Great thank you, Ashlyn, of course, and up

  Speaker 1: We're back Jaguars Jagtime on Friday mornings, brought to you
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: by the Fields Auto Group. As we can into a
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: game preview presented by simply iOS looking at this WHOLP
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: game on Sunday, a little similar to big Things that
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: we're looking at the game specifically. So guys, let's get
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: to our big things and the three things the Jaguars
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: have to handle on Sunday to beat the Bolts. Big
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: thing one, of course, is handling Philip Rivers. We just
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: talked to head coach Doug Rowing about that seven and
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: two against the Jags in his career. You can't stop
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a guy with talent like that, but how do you
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: handle him on the field and maintain him on Sunday.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Big thing too, of course, is stopping the run. We're
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: going to continue to talk about it all off these long,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: all training camp long, and so we see it happen
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: on the field. We all know last season that was
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the biggest issue with the Aguars. They could not stop
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the run. Now they have a Colts running back with
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Marlon Mack and Jonathan Taylor splitting Harry's talk about a
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: big past week one stopping the run. Have to focus
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: on that on defense. And finally, big thing three is
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: seeing what Gardner Minshoe can do. We've seen it in
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: training camp. Looks good as a starter, at times inconsistent.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Two guys, I think this is the biggest thing. Brian,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: let's start with you. We finally get to see what
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew can do. His second ear of his career
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: with the lights on, it is for real finally on Sunday. Well,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: and this will be only the second time has Seem
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Gardner a second time. Last only the Texans based him twice,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: and he saw the Colts at the season finale last
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: year here in Jacksonville, So it'll be interesting to see
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: how they contain him. We know how the Texans did it.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: They brought that fierce outside rush with Whitney, Merciless and J. J.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Watt and forced him to stay up in the pocket
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: and make throws, and he didn't have a very good day.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: So it will be interesting to see how the Colts
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: contain him justin Houston to force Bucktoner can bring the
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: heat and then can he overcome He's talked about working
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: all offseason. We've talked about his opportunity to get better. Well,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: we'll see firsthand on Sunday if he's more comfortable in
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the pocket and able to execute from there. We know
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: what he can do on the run. Guy's a magician
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: on the run. Just go back and look at the
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: throat to Rockwell arms dead in Denver. What can you
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: do in the pocket? We'll find out absolutely and John
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: going to Big Thing to stopping the run. We're all
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: tired of talking about it. We want it to happen,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: but you have to see the improvements made with possibly
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Joe Schobert at middle linebacker and talk about a big test.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Two very talented running backs coming in on Sunday. Yeah,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and Brian's dead on about Minshew. That's going to be
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the book on him. And to help Gardner Minshew Boyd
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: of the Jaguars need to stop the run. I understand
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: nationally all eyes are on minshow locally, this team must
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: stop the run, even beyond Big Thing on Sunday. I
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: mean even beyond Big Thing one. Philip Rivers, you've got
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: to stop the run against the Colt Frank Reich wants
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: to run. He's going to keep running. He's not a
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: dumb guy. He saw the Jaguars give up what two
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: yards five times last year until they prove they can
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: do it. I believe that this team will be better
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: against the run, partially because of what Todd wash said yesterday.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: They've coached it, they have concentrated on it. Usually when
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: you spend that kind of time on something, you get
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: some results. And I think they'll be better gap control.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I think Joe Schobert will have them have less breakout
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: runs against them. I'm optimistic, but it is key, even
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: more key than stopping Philip Rivers, and that's offensive line.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: You're not going to get to Philip Rivers like you
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: get to some quarterbacks. So if you stop the run,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you at least give yourself a chance. But more than that,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: it stopping Philip Rivers becomes guys being in the right spot,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: not blowing coverages and giving him easy throws down the field.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Young guys in that secondary are going to have to
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: play like veterans. And that is our game preview presented
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: by simply iOS. The three big things that Jaguars have
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: to focus on to beat the Colts on Sunday, big
• 18:23

• 18:26

• 20:23
  Speaker 1: We got to watch a game last night. It was
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: awesome and even more awesome, John Osire, is that visual?
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Why on the field the games? There is a game
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. This is what we've been waiting for. Finds
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: a Field, Finds on a Field text. You knew that
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: would get you excited. That's energy we need if anything
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: else doesn't get you amped up. Finds on a field
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: will as we get into he will, he won't. He
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: might coming into Sunday's game in Jacksonville at t I
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: a Bank field looking at three guys to make an impact,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and Brian Sexton, you have Stave Trewe to this man.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Tyler Eifert Well, I think he makes a big difference.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: We saw last year how Gardner Minshu and James O'Shaughnessy
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: were working together in that big performance against the Titans
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: on thirdy night football and you just you could just
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: see where it was starting to show up. Well, then
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: James O shawness he gets hurt. They go out and
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: they get Tyler Eifert, who is a former Pro Bowl player.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: He's big, he's strong, he's athletic, he knows how to
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: play the position, and I think that he will be
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: a difference maker. I think I'll go right to it. Right,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: he will catch five or six passes for seventy yards um.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: He won't have a ten catch hundred thirty yard game. Right.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: He will be productive. He might catch two touchdowns because
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: this is a guy who in his Pro Bowl season
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: caught thirteen and was a big target for the Bengals
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: and quarterbacking Andy Dalton. But to go back to he
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: will of those five to seven catches, five to seven
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: of them will be four first downs. This is the
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: guy who will be where he's supposed to be on
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: every play. Minshew can count on him and he'll be
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: there to move the chains all right. Glad to hear him. Definitely,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: James O'Shaughnessy coming back should help Gardner Minshew as well.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: They definitely had a great connection last season before he
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: got hurt and John's he will, he won't, he might
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: is going to the other side of the ball guy
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: that they're definitely depending on on Sunday, John, Yeah, I
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: actually like Brian's and I couldn't agree more. I absolutely key.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I went with Miles Jack on defense. He will be
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: comfortable in his position much more than he has been
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: in the past. I get this has been something we've
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: talked about all offseason, but I thought it was interesting
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: that Todd Wash when he talked to the media on Thursday,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: sort of went out of his way to say, Hey,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: we can already see Miles as more come. Well, it's
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: taken him a while to get to that week's side position,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: but he's gonna be a guy who is much more
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: fluid they're chasing the ball. He won't be out of
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: position because he won't have He won't be having to
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: make up for others mistakes this year that happened a
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: lot last year. Again, anybody who's watched us has heard
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: us talk about this. He was making up for a
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: lot of youth around him last year when he had
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: when he allowed some breakout run that shouldn't happen this year.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: He might wind up this season being a dark horse
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: for defensive m VP. I think it's gonna be Josh Allen,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: but I ain't Miles Jack's gonna have a standout year
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: with interceptions, bumble recoveries. Specific to Sunday's game. He might
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: be the guy who makes a big play late, who
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: chases down a runner, who gets a key interception. We
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: all remember two thousand eighteen he had the huge pick
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: against the Giants to sort of seal that game back
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: when the Jaguars was so competitive. That's the kind of
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: play he makes when he is right, and I think
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be right this year. That's the kind of
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: thing he can do to help you win. He's the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: highest paid player on the roster by the end of
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the season, I think he has the opportunity to show why.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Let's hope so looking for Miles Jack to make a
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: big impact on Sunday. I'm gonna go with the wide
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: receiver that we talked about a Losstery tuning camp by
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: not so much the past two seasons, and that is
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: wide receiver Healing Cole. He will be listened the second
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: wide receiver on the depth chart and will be targeted
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: way more than we saw last season. He has had
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: a great camp and is back on the scene after.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: To be honest, we kind of forgot about him last
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: year and that because of his training camp. He has
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: forced his way back into conversation at times before training
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: cause we were wondering how many wide receivers they were
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: going to keep and if Healing Cole was going to
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: meet the roster. Now he's listened as the second wide
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: receiver behind d J. Chart, so we will be targeted more.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: He will play more. You're going to see him more.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: He won't let the moment become too big for him,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: and I think that's exactly what we saw this past year.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: We saw those insane catches against Patriots. He was a
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: big factor in that win against the Seattle Seahawks two
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: years ago. But he really didn't see much of him
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: from last year, and I think that is because he
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: got there. He's like, all right, I've got this and
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: he might not have had it just yet, but I
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: don't think this year at the moment is going to
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: be too big for Healing Cole, and he might he
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: might just catch a touchdown pass. We're gonna see d J.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Chark most likely double teams, definitely the biggest threat on
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: the offense, so it might give Healing Cole a chance
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: to open things up and catch a touchdown against the
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Colts on Sunday, John, what do you think of that? Well,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I thought Healing Cole coming into this offseason or coming
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: to this season, had a real chance to make an impact.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I think he started to sort of get it and
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: come back a little bit late last season. He sort
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: of disappeared early in the season, and then gradually last
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: year he started being more involved in the offense. And
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I completely agree with you, Shand I thought in two
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: thousand eighteen after the Patriots game, it looked for the
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: first time like the kid from from Kentucky Westland, like
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: it was a little bit too big for him. But
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I gave him a lot of credit last year for
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: recovering from that. That's not easy to do, getting his
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: feedback under him. And I completely agree. I think he
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: has a very productive year. He's going into a at
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: some point second contract time. I think he earns that
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: somewhere with a year this year. Well, he better be
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: ready to go, because if he's not, he's going to
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: have a hard time getting the attention to the quarterback
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: with Laviska Shenault Jr. Out there along with Deed Westbrook
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and Colin Johnson. It's not like they need him to
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: be a star like they did at points in nineteen.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Now there's a lot of other guys out there, so
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: his motivation level might be in an all time high. Yeah,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I got to think, make yourself known in this game.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: One week one all right, when we come back, we
• 26:59

• 29:31
  Speaker 1: opening weekend of the NFL season, we're going around the
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: horn and picking one game and picking the winner, and
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of interesting games this opening weekend, and let's
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: go all the way to California with Brian sexon game
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: first UM game at Sofi Stadium. I mean, I haven't
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: seen the Jaguars play so and I gave you the
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: wrong one here. I gave you l A instead of
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: l A rams. Uh So we got our wires crossed
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: them this But the Cowboys are playing the Rams at
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium. So I can't really say much about the
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: game because I don't know that much about either team
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: in terms of what they did in August. They just practiced.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: But I'm interested in the stadium because apparently it is
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the Cat's me out, baby. I mean, it is as
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: you'd expect for five billion dollars a sight to behold.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: So I'm interested in that. The other is Dak Prescott,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: who is rightfully getting accolades for some of the personal
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: revelations that he made this week about dealing with some
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: struggles in his life. But he handled the contract situation,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: the franchise tag, watching Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson get
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: the big mega contracts that he is seeking himself, and
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: he handled like a pro. This is a young man
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: who took over a few years ago and a fourth
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: round pick from Mississippi State. I mean, who knew that
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: he would grow into this kind of a player and
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: this kind of a person for the NFL. So I'm
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: interested in a couple of story ends off the field,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: and and Dak Proscott is right at the top of it.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you who wins. I don't know, but
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I'm interested in seeing two stadium and the quarterback for
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I could care less about that cornerback for
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: the Ramps. Burn Yes, definitely agreed. Dak Prescott definitely handling
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: himself with class this week. Everything going on, and it
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: is hard brustpit Waters because we really haven't seen much feeling.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Thing I can base off the Rams is watching hard knocks,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: and that really isn't basing much at all on their
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: on field play. So John, good luck with this one.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Dolphins and Patriots. Well, first of all, in terms of
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: the cornerback, good things happen to good people. Good for him.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Hope the back holds up. Um. As far as the
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Dolphins and the Patriots, I'm intrigued by this, I think
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: for the reason everybody is who are the Patriots now?
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: And how good can the Dolphins be. I've seen where
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: it's become sort of trendy to pick the Dolphins in
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: the a f C. East and to assume that the
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: pay if you're gonna the Patriots, are gonna fall off
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: the table. Um. This feels like one to me where
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: everybody's going to pick the Dolphins, and you just wonder
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: if that dynasty, even without Tom Brady, is really ready
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: to fold. It'll be fascinating. I'll pick the Patriots in
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: this one just because you know, I've I've got a
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: gut on that one. Yeah, that game always hard to pick,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: and of course, normally opening weekend Dolphins versus Patriots, that
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: normally never goes according to plan. All right, My game
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: is st versus Buccaneers. Talk about the historic matchup of
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: two quarterbacks. The Tampa Bay Bucks are the Cleveland brown
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: the blast and I go back to the year and
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: we could not stop talking about the Cleveland Browns. They
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: were on every cover of every magazine. And that is
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: the Bucks this year, and rightfully so when you look
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: at their roster. But I think with these the Saints team,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: they're definitely underrated. Drew Brees, we all know how well
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: he is. Michael Thomas, a lot of people have the
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: same undercover winning the Super Bowl this year, I would
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: not be surprised if the Tampa Bay hysteria is silenced
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: this weekend with a Saints win. And it just as
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: almost like a reality check, just like what we saw
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: with the Browns last year. Everyone just chill out. What
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: do you guys think? Well, I'm always big on the
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: hot team, and free agency is always the team that
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: worries me going into the regular season, the Browns, and
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: it really bought in last year because of that. Usually
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: it takes a year for guys to come together like that.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady maybe an exception to that rule. Also because
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the Bucks were getting better last year without him, and
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: they've added him to it. So I do think the
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Saints win this one because that's I think the Saints
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: are the stronger team, and I think the Saints are
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: the preseason super Bowl favorite in the in the NFC.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: But I don't believe the Bucks will fall off the
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: table the way the Browns did last year. We have
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: the best roster in the NFL. I thought it last
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: year when we saw them here. When you look at
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: their depth, each quality all over the field, They've got
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: stars at positions. Um, I think the Saints win this
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: one earlier, but we'll see these guys, I think in
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game. Now, that would be an interesting
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: game going back this year. All right, guys, thanks so
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: much for all of your time and help this morning
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: on Jack's Drive Time that is our Friday morning show.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Stay tuned to Jaguars dot Com all weekend long lines
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: on the field. You know what that means. Game one
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: this Sunday. We'll see you there.
