Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Jaguars, did Jack Jaguars, did you go? Jaguars Drive Time
- 0:08Speaker 1: and Sex Steps John, Actually, Jaguars Drive Time starts right now.
- 0:18Speaker 1: The trade yet to be official by the Jaguars or
- 0:21Speaker 1: the Vikings, but all signs pointing towards the Jaguars receiving
- 0:24Speaker 1: a second rounder and conditional fifth round pick first star
- 0:28Speaker 1: pass rusher Unique in gock Way. If you're watching on
- 0:31Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com Live, you'll see a Unique and gog
- 0:34Speaker 1: Ways tweet from last night tweeting out it is evident
- 0:37Speaker 1: my time in Jacksonville is up. But I want to
- 0:40Speaker 1: say thank you to the organization for making it a
- 0:42Speaker 1: home for myself for four years. Big focus of big
- 0:47Speaker 1: things in Drive Time as a whole about this potential trade,
- 0:50Speaker 1: what it means the Jaguars defensive line. But first training
- 0:54Speaker 1: camp is up. Today is the first day we are
- 0:56Speaker 1: focusing on the regular season as I bring in the
- 1:00Speaker 1: fellows Brian Sexton and John Osier. Brian, can you believe
- 1:04Speaker 1: that tomorrow is September one? No, to be honest with you, um,
- 1:10Speaker 1: you know, training camp is normally something in the preseason
- 1:12Speaker 1: that drags, you know, and we get to this point.
- 1:14Speaker 1: It's like finally. But this year has been so different,
- 1:17Speaker 1: whether it's working at home since the middle of March
- 1:20Speaker 1: or training camp starting late, no preseason games. You know,
- 1:24Speaker 1: we were talking on Saturday at the stadium about two
- 1:27Speaker 1: weeks till the opener. In two weeks from today, we'll
- 1:31Speaker 1: be talking about how the Jaguars fared an opening day
- 1:33Speaker 1: against Philip Rivers in the Indianapolis Colts. It has certainly
- 1:37Speaker 1: gone fast. There's been plenty of news to keep things
- 1:39Speaker 1: moving along, whether it's social justice issues off the field
- 1:43Speaker 1: or player performance on it. John, it's um uh, twenty
- 1:49Speaker 1: seven years in the NFL, I've never I've never experienced
- 1:53Speaker 1: anything like it. It really is unique. Yeah. I think
- 1:57Speaker 1: Doug Marone when he talked to the media after the
- 1:59Speaker 1: Stagram to put it best, he talked about training camp
- 2:02Speaker 1: and he sort of laughed, you guys, if you can
- 2:04Speaker 1: really call this training camp, it's it's not like anything
- 2:07Speaker 1: any of us who have been around for a while
- 2:08Speaker 1: they've ever seen. But I guess the big picture for
- 2:12Speaker 1: the Jaguars is whatever you call what they've just done
- 2:16Speaker 1: for the last two or three weeks. Doug feels good
- 2:18Speaker 1: about it. He likes the team that he has Uh,
- 2:22Speaker 1: it does. And we'll get to this with the Unique
- 2:24Speaker 1: and Gockway thing. But it certainly feels like a fresh
- 2:29Speaker 1: start type season rebuild, whatever you call it. That Doug
- 2:33Speaker 1: likes the attitude and feels like he has this team
- 2:37Speaker 1: on board. Uh, the question is is there enough talent
- 2:40Speaker 1: to do anything with it? So I guess we'll find
- 2:42Speaker 1: that out and now we'll get to Unique, right Lynn,
- 2:45Speaker 1: Absolutely definitely the big story of the day as we
- 2:48Speaker 1: get into big things. Big thing one is a new
- 2:50Speaker 1: home potentially Unique and Goway reportedly being traded to Minnesota
- 2:54Speaker 1: and Goka will have to sign his franchise tag to
- 2:57Speaker 1: then be traded. Report of the Vikings will have to
- 2:59Speaker 1: clear up some cap space as well. But the Jaguars
- 3:02Speaker 1: now have eight picks in the first five rounds next season,
- 3:07Speaker 1: obviously a big deal going into the draft next year.
- 3:09Speaker 1: And what does this mean for the Jaguars defensive line.
- 3:12Speaker 1: We will get into that big thing too, is that's
- 3:15Speaker 1: a wrap kind of a very different training camp, like
- 3:17Speaker 1: we mentioned, came to an end after Saturday scrimmage inside
- 3:20Speaker 1: the stadium, first time we've been in the stadium for
- 3:23Speaker 1: a very long time. As we now shift our focus
- 3:26Speaker 1: to the regular season in the Indianapolis Colts on September.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Dumb Morone is trying to wrap his head around this
- 3:33Speaker 1: past month. I do feel the preaching of team first,
- 3:40Speaker 1: you know, team this is what we're looking for. I
- 3:43Speaker 1: do see uh, players that are that are trying to
- 3:47Speaker 1: do that, that are trying to be players that their
- 3:49Speaker 1: teammates can rely on big spots and where you know,
- 3:53Speaker 1: if something does happen, Um, you can recover quicker when
- 3:57Speaker 1: you have a bunch of guys around you that are
- 3:59Speaker 1: trying to get your going rather than being divisive and
- 4:03Speaker 1: and and and you know, pointing fingers and you know
- 4:06Speaker 1: then now you can't recover. So you know, these are
- 4:09Speaker 1: the type of messages. This is the type of things
- 4:11Speaker 1: that I'm talking to this that I've been talking to
- 4:13Speaker 1: this team about, you know, throughout um this time frame.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Because I still struggle Brian with you know, calling this
- 4:20Speaker 1: a camp you know, I mean, uh, it's so different
- 4:24Speaker 1: than anything that we've done. Finally, big thing three is
- 4:30Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, We're gonna be honest with you. Not his
- 4:32Speaker 1: best day during Saturday's scrimmage, but ended up on a
- 4:35Speaker 1: high note. The final two drives ended up in touchdowns
- 4:38Speaker 1: as he got into a groove, but definitely a shaky
- 4:40Speaker 1: start at first. Overall, I think we all can say
- 4:42Speaker 1: he's made steps in the right direction going into training camp.
- 4:46Speaker 1: But let's hear what the head coach has to say
- 4:48Speaker 1: of his performance. He's put in a ton of work. Uh,
- 4:52Speaker 1: you know, because you know, we're in that mode of
- 4:55Speaker 1: you know, hey, we gotta go to getting ready to play,
- 4:57Speaker 1: and then you know at the end, you're like, holy cow,
- 5:00Speaker 1: where are we with throws? Where are we with this?
- 5:01Speaker 1: And you know, um, you know, trying to get him
- 5:04Speaker 1: back in. So from a mental standpoint, it's not an issue.
- 5:07Speaker 1: I think it's more, hey, let's let's get everyone back,
- 5:16Speaker 1: all right, guys. So let's go all the way back
- 5:18Speaker 1: up to big thing one with the unique and goth
- 5:20Speaker 1: Wayne news, we knew possibly a trade was pending. Honestly,
- 5:24Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings are never Brian really in the whole twitter
- 5:27Speaker 1: sphere of a possible team. So, Brian, when you heard
- 5:30Speaker 1: the news yesterday morning, right and early on a Sunday morning,
- 5:33Speaker 1: what did you think. Well, actually, it confirmed my suspicion
- 5:37Speaker 1: that this was a team in transition. And I just
- 5:38Speaker 1: saw a tweet from Adam Schefter. That s there's the
- 5:40Speaker 1: Jaguars have released Leonard for Nett. Have you all seen
- 5:44Speaker 1: that this morning? That's Adam Schefter. That's not a fake,
- 5:49Speaker 1: Adam Schefter. It's the blue check Adam Schefter. We got
- 5:53Speaker 1: to figure out what this is now. This is a
- 5:56Speaker 1: team in transition. There is no out. In my mind.
- 6:01Speaker 1: I thought it in January. I applaud the coaching staff
- 6:07Speaker 1: and the players for working as if they are they
- 6:11Speaker 1: are ready to go and compete for the playoffs. But
- 6:14Speaker 1: that is not the case this year. Um. You look
- 6:18Speaker 1: at the talent that's gone just from the start of
- 6:19Speaker 1: last season. Um, the last twenty four hours, the trade
- 6:24Speaker 1: of in Gockway and now the release of Leonard for
- 6:27Speaker 1: Nett tells us that this is all about getting prepared
- 6:31Speaker 1: to build this football team. And beyond Yes, John, and
- 6:39Speaker 1: let me briefly interrupt you there. We're gonna have done
- 6:41Speaker 1: Brown speaking to the media live on Jaguars dot Com
- 6:44Speaker 1: at nine o'clock. Definitely gonna hear more details about Leonard
- 6:47Speaker 1: for Nette being waived as of right now. We're gonna
- 6:49Speaker 1: be honest with you. Definitely a surprise to all of
- 6:51Speaker 1: us this morning, but that's what live television is on
- 6:54Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive Time. So John, Leonard Fournett, One News, Unique
- 6:58Speaker 1: and Gockway Newsy. What a crazy day? Right? Well, I
- 7:04Speaker 1: I'm flam I mean I the Gooway thing everybody saw
- 7:09Speaker 1: coming at some point you got equity form. Uh. Frankly,
- 7:13Speaker 1: I'll have to wait until Doug speaks at nine to
- 7:17Speaker 1: get a sense of the Leonard Fournette thing. Uh, because
- 7:20Speaker 1: I didn't see that one coming. I don't think anybody did. Uh.
- 7:23Speaker 1: As far as Unique and I guess Leonard fits in
- 7:26Speaker 1: this too, it's clear, as Brian said that this is
- 7:30Speaker 1: a restart, and I forget who said it yesterday, but
- 7:33Speaker 1: it truly is a franchise going forward now with guys
- 7:38Speaker 1: that all you know, they want to be here. They
- 7:43Speaker 1: feel like everybody who's here is on the same page.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Maybe this is the start, and maybe whatever has happened
- 7:50Speaker 1: before is rock bottom, but it's certainly has to improve
- 7:53Speaker 1: from here. Look, I mean, let's just let's deal with
- 7:57Speaker 1: the then pound elephant in the room. He year the
- 8:00Speaker 1: tank for Trevor conversation is going to become amplified this morning,
- 8:05Speaker 1: and that's probably a mild way of putting it, and
- 8:08Speaker 1: it's certainly worthy of conversation for a franchise that doesn't
- 8:13Speaker 1: have a franchise quarterback to be looking up the road
- 8:16Speaker 1: at the kid at Clemson who looks like the next
- 8:18Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, certainly Peyton Manning on the field, and maybe
- 8:21Speaker 1: Tim Tebow off the field in terms of his his
- 8:24Speaker 1: Christian faith and his personality and all of that stuff.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Just this if if I thought yesterday that the Unique
- 8:31Speaker 1: and Gonway conversation, pardon me, the trade was going to
- 8:34Speaker 1: start this conversation and pour gas on the fire. But
- 8:37Speaker 1: the for Net release, I mean, Hell's bells it's on now,
- 8:42Speaker 1: I mean, that's all you're gonna hear about. I thought
- 8:44Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew and I really liked the kid, So please
- 8:47Speaker 1: don't misunderstand what I'm saying. Boy, does he have an
- 8:50Speaker 1: uphill battle to fight this year? Right, He's battling the COVID,
- 8:55Speaker 1: He's battling the pressure of having to have a stellar year.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Deaf end off the kid at Clemson, or take your
- 9:02Speaker 1: pick if you like the kid at Ohio State or
- 9:04Speaker 1: North Dakota State or whatever. But this was already going
- 9:07Speaker 1: to be a huge lift for Gardener. And now, oh hey,
- 9:11Speaker 1: I mean Uh, I don't even know what to say.
- 9:15Speaker 1: This is. This is I go back to two thousand
- 9:17Speaker 1: and seven when the Jaguars unceremoniously dismissed Byron Leftwich after
- 9:23Speaker 1: a poor performance in Green Bay in the preseason and
- 9:26Speaker 1: handed the reins to David Garrard. I mean, I'm trying
- 9:30Speaker 1: to think of a time I can't. That was the
- 9:32Speaker 1: last time where I went what is going on? There's
- 9:35Speaker 1: no doubt what's going on now. This is full fledged
- 9:38Speaker 1: rebuild reset um. There's just no denying it. The players
- 9:43Speaker 1: and coaches won't say it. They can't. Their game is
- 9:46Speaker 1: every single day because their careers can be short. They
- 9:50Speaker 1: have to focus on winning now. But this franchise is
- 9:52Speaker 1: taking up uh GEO stationary twenty three mile in space orbit.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Look at where the franchise has had it. This is
- 10:01Speaker 1: stunning news this morning. Yes, absolutely, go ahead, John. Unfortunately,
- 10:10Speaker 1: it feels more like two thousand eleven than two thousand
- 10:13Speaker 1: seven when they released Gerrard right for the regular season. Uh,
- 10:17Speaker 1: you know that was stunning. I was here at that
- 10:20Speaker 1: point and with that team, you wondered at that point
- 10:24Speaker 1: how much talent it had to move forward and actually
- 10:26Speaker 1: try to compete that's going to be the question that
- 10:28Speaker 1: you released for NET and a lot of people thought
- 10:30Speaker 1: was their best offensive player. Again, I gotta wait to
- 10:34Speaker 1: hear what Doug says about it, because I don't really
- 10:36Speaker 1: have very much to go on in terms of why
- 10:39Speaker 1: this one happened at this point, John, you were definitely
- 10:43Speaker 1: two thousand seven. Let me tell you, it does not
- 10:45Speaker 1: feel like two thousand and eleven. It feels like two
- 10:48Speaker 1: thousand and seven because this team was saying it has
- 10:52Speaker 1: more talent than the two thousand and eleven team. Now
- 10:55Speaker 1: it doesn't have the quarterback, but it has more talent
- 10:57Speaker 1: than two thousand and eleven. And there's nobody downtown but
- 11:00Speaker 1: had anything except that this is a team that's going
- 11:02Speaker 1: to go out and try to win this year. So
- 11:05Speaker 1: to me, this the stunning move is the dismissal of
- 11:08Speaker 1: the quarterback, just like today it's the dismissal of the
- 11:10Speaker 1: running back. This is bigger than two thousand and eleven.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Because we all knew two thousand and eleven was going
- 11:16Speaker 1: to be about the future with Blaine Gabber. Two thousand
- 11:19Speaker 1: seven was supposed to be about Byron Leftwich in a
- 11:21Speaker 1: big year. Could he become the franchise quarterback, which is
- 11:24Speaker 1: exactly what we're talking about with Minshew. This is two
- 11:26Speaker 1: thousand seven. Yes, crazy news this morning. Ian rapp Report

- 14:03Speaker 1: on Twitter about this Leonard Fournett big news this morning,
- 14:06Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport tweeting out after months of attempting to trade
- 14:09Speaker 1: the former first rounder, Leonard Fournette is gone. Brian and John,
- 14:14Speaker 1: I think let's stick with the big news of the
- 14:16Speaker 1: morning regardless of our show. Brian, we knew that over
- 14:19Speaker 1: the off sne and there were trade talks about Leonard Fournett.
- 14:22Speaker 1: But honestly, I'm gonna be Frank, I'm very surprised about
- 14:25Speaker 1: this because we've been hearing around the building that he's
- 14:27Speaker 1: been great so far in training camp, definitely making an
- 14:30Speaker 1: impact on the field. So do you take this as
- 14:32Speaker 1: just a major clean up like we've been saying that
- 14:35Speaker 1: Doug is trying to rebuild from the bottom down and
- 14:37Speaker 1: get everyone he wants in the building. Well, my first
- 14:40Speaker 1: thought is is that Doug Moron must have been told
- 14:42Speaker 1: that he's going to be back to finish his contract,
- 14:44Speaker 1: right that that he's not only been given this year,
- 14:46Speaker 1: but next, and maybe Dave Caldwell as well. I mean,
- 14:49Speaker 1: you don't see these kinds of moves from general managers
- 14:53Speaker 1: and coaches who are on the brink of losing their job.
- 14:57Speaker 1: And yet that's what everyone assumes that this is unprecedented.
- 15:01Speaker 1: You just you don't see guys who need to win
- 15:05Speaker 1: taking a player like Leonard for Nett and taking a
- 15:07Speaker 1: player like Unique and Gowkway and dismissing them. Um, you know,
- 15:11Speaker 1: we can talk about personalities in the locker room all
- 15:14Speaker 1: you want, but you have to deal with the fact
- 15:16Speaker 1: here that that Doug Morone they let go of a
- 15:19Speaker 1: player this morning yesterday when they traded a Gockway. Okay,
- 15:22Speaker 1: I started calculating the salary cap and with the seventeen
- 15:26Speaker 1: point eight million that will come back to them that
- 15:28Speaker 1: will go forward, because I assume there's no one they're
- 15:29Speaker 1: gonna pay this year, all of that money goes forward
- 15:32Speaker 1: next year. I had them at the top of the
- 15:33Speaker 1: league right with Indianapolis at about seventy six million, dollars
- 15:38Speaker 1: right now. Add on to that, so the Dragonars are
- 15:40Speaker 1: gonna enter next off season with not only the most
- 15:43Speaker 1: salary cap dollars available, but maybe the most draft capital
- 15:47Speaker 1: available as well. I mean, this is just I'm trying
- 15:50Speaker 1: to wrap my brain around this, and it just comes
- 15:53Speaker 1: back to a screaming, Hey, this team is in full rebuild.
- 15:57Speaker 1: They won't say that, but that's exactly what this it. Well,
- 16:02Speaker 1: you talk about getting the cap in order. I mean,
- 16:05Speaker 1: you know, that was the whole thing of the off season,
- 16:08Speaker 1: and this is clearly the last two days, two more
- 16:11Speaker 1: moves towards that. It also and I can't remember if
- 16:15Speaker 1: Doug said this in the off season or if it
- 16:17Speaker 1: was just the overall impression of the off season. So
- 16:19Speaker 1: I don't want to put words in his mouth, but
- 16:21Speaker 1: there is a feeling of if you're gonna go down,
- 16:25Speaker 1: if if, if you're going to fight this fight, meaning
- 16:28Speaker 1: this season, do it with guys that you want around.
- 16:32Speaker 1: And to me, there's no you know, we haven't heard
- 16:35Speaker 1: Doug talk about this, so I'm assuming, but this is
- 16:38Speaker 1: a case of I want guys who I believe in,
- 16:43Speaker 1: who believe in me, etcetera, etcetera. Uh, that's what this
- 16:46Speaker 1: feels like is let's get guys who are all pulling
- 16:50Speaker 1: in the same direction, and let's move forward and see
- 16:53Speaker 1: what we can do with a bunch of guys who
- 16:54Speaker 1: want to fight and win for this team. That's what
- 16:56Speaker 1: it feels like. You know, let her was so good
- 17:00Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago when he was when he
- 17:03Speaker 1: did his uh his only real media availability over Zoom,
- 17:07Speaker 1: and he talked about wanting to win, about not wanting
- 17:10Speaker 1: to be a jerk about having had a pretty good
- 17:13Speaker 1: season last year, but wanting to capitalize and have a
- 17:16Speaker 1: bigger season this year. And I think, you know, outside
- 17:18Speaker 1: of DJ Chark, you could have made the case that
- 17:21Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette was the best player on offense. Now, that
- 17:24Speaker 1: might not have lasted very long. Lavisca Chennault may have
- 17:26Speaker 1: exploded past. You might have seen the same thing with
- 17:29Speaker 1: DJ Chark. But I mean, this guy, he had nearly
- 17:32Speaker 1: seventeen hundred yards from scrimmage last year and had he
- 17:36Speaker 1: mixed in more than three touchdowns, we would have talked
- 17:38Speaker 1: about a guy that had Pro Bowl caliber numbers, and
- 17:41Speaker 1: they just let him go. They didn't even they didn't
- 17:44Speaker 1: even wanted for a conditional seventh round pick. Either they
- 17:46Speaker 1: couldn't get it or they didn't want him here at
- 17:49Speaker 1: the expense of that. I think that's what is so
- 17:51Speaker 1: incredibly interesting. And you know, to walk down that road
- 17:55Speaker 1: of personalities. You know, Leonard over the years has been
- 17:58Speaker 1: a difficult guy at times, and those teammates of him
- 18:00Speaker 1: in Gokwai same thing. A difficult person to deal with
- 18:04Speaker 1: in the locker room. Jayla Ramsey a really difficult human
- 18:07Speaker 1: being to deal with. Dante Fowler Jr. A difficult guy
- 18:11Speaker 1: to get your arms wrapped around, and who had some
- 18:13Speaker 1: off the field issues that embarrass the franchise. There's no
- 18:17Speaker 1: doubt they have taken personalities that they didn't like. As
- 18:20Speaker 1: John just said and just said, you know what, we're
- 18:22Speaker 1: gonna go forward without them, will admit our mistakes. They've
- 18:25Speaker 1: got cash, they've got draft capital. Buckle up. I mean,
- 18:30Speaker 1: this is a year where the fans are going to
- 18:31Speaker 1: be empty anyway for goodness sake. So you know, it's
- 18:34Speaker 1: not like you've got the pressure of people going. Man,
- 18:36Speaker 1: not only they stink, but their fans won't even show
- 18:38Speaker 1: up because they're gonna be one of the teams that
- 18:40Speaker 1: has fans in the stands. Maybe this is just maybe
- 18:44Speaker 1: just this is the perfect storm. You're not gonna have
- 18:46Speaker 1: fans in the stands anyway, so you're not gonna take
- 18:49Speaker 1: the black eye. There's all kinds of draft capital and
- 18:52Speaker 1: all kinds of cash, and you've got a kid at
- 18:54Speaker 1: Clemson who looks like he's the next Peyton Manning and
- 18:57Speaker 1: he has a personality that fits this marketplace. Hey, maybe
- 19:01Speaker 1: tag for Trevor is real. No one will say it.
- 19:04Speaker 1: I'm saying it. Maybe it's real. Yep. Definitely going to
- 19:09Speaker 1: see what this breaking news means. We done her own
- 19:11Speaker 1: live at nine am. As we come back, we're going

- 21:44Speaker 1: back on Jacks Drive time Monday morning, handling the breaking
- 21:47Speaker 1: news of the Leonard for Net release, and this was
- 21:50Speaker 1: already going to be my hot take, so it fits
- 21:53Speaker 1: in perfectly. Guys, we're gonna talk about the running back
- 21:55Speaker 1: room now without Leonard for Net. My hot take was
- 21:58Speaker 1: going to be the redback set is coming back with
- 22:02Speaker 1: undrafted free agent James Robinson playing a role. We've seen
- 22:06Speaker 1: great things out of this guy during training camp. We
- 22:10Speaker 1: have heard the coaching staff loves him. Now that you
- 22:12Speaker 1: have free agent Chris Thompson coming in, Quel Arm said
- 22:16Speaker 1: divine Exebo. Let's look at the running back room as
- 22:19Speaker 1: a whole right now with the current roster. Honestly, a
- 22:22Speaker 1: lot of these guys have similar running styles to Wind
- 22:24Speaker 1: in front and definitely a violent running group. But Brian,
- 22:27Speaker 1: what do you think of this dream as a whole,
- 22:29Speaker 1: and what do you think of that guy I just
- 22:31Speaker 1: mentioned James Robinson. I know he's definitely turned all our
- 22:33Speaker 1: heads so far in camp. Yeah, you know, look, I
- 22:36Speaker 1: mean you can find running backs back in. The Jaguars
- 22:40Speaker 1: made a mistake in drafting Letard for net We know now,
- 22:43Speaker 1: right because there were two quarterbacks that were right there
- 22:47Speaker 1: for them, Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson, who are both
- 22:50Speaker 1: you know, future their current stars and long term stars
- 22:54Speaker 1: for their teams. And the reason they made a mistake
- 22:56Speaker 1: is you just don't draft running backs that high. You
- 22:58Speaker 1: can find product to running backs in a lot of
- 23:01Speaker 1: different ways. Now, the flip side of that is is
- 23:04Speaker 1: that they went to the a C Championship game and
- 23:06Speaker 1: they don't go without Leonard for Net. So you kind
- 23:08Speaker 1: of bobble it up, you were quite Armstead is a
- 23:11Speaker 1: power back. He's not as talented as Leonard for Nett,
- 23:14Speaker 1: but he's a guy they can get productive yardage from
- 23:18Speaker 1: the Robinson kid, the Catrell kid from Georgia Tech. There
- 23:22Speaker 1: have been a number of running backs who have flashed
- 23:24Speaker 1: and impressed through the course of camp. Are they Leonard
- 23:27Speaker 1: for Net caliber players. No, But this is a passing league,
- 23:32Speaker 1: and if you're going to throw the football, you can
- 23:34Speaker 1: do with a running back that you find in the second, third,
- 23:36Speaker 1: or fourth round. Yeah. I mean, all the running backs
- 23:42Speaker 1: so far in basically non contact situations have looked fine.
- 23:47Speaker 1: Robinson's looked fine, zig Bows looked good. I think, uh,
- 23:51Speaker 1: you know, right, quite Armstead. We saw flashes earlier last year.
- 23:54Speaker 1: And as Brian said, the reality in the NFL right
- 23:58Speaker 1: now is, yes, there will be a drop off in
- 24:01Speaker 1: just pure physical talent between for Net and the other guys.
- 24:05Speaker 1: But is that Are you gonna lose this much production
- 24:09Speaker 1: because of it? Or are you gonna lose this much
- 24:12Speaker 1: production because the lack of talent or because of the
- 24:15Speaker 1: drop off in talent, I think it's probably this much
- 24:18Speaker 1: and whatever else they're gaining, which they feel with with
- 24:22Speaker 1: locker room, with pulling in the same direction, whatever they
- 24:25Speaker 1: feel like they're going to gain that much more. So, Uh,
- 24:28Speaker 1: you know, you can't sit here and make a case
- 24:31Speaker 1: that it's a better running back room talent wise without him.
- 24:35Speaker 1: But as Brian said, in this day and age in
- 24:38Speaker 1: the NFL, the drop off from losing a power, physical
- 24:43Speaker 1: runner with not great missability probably doesn't lose you that
- 24:47Speaker 1: much in terms of real on the field, but it's
- 24:49Speaker 1: sure gonna lose you a lot in terms of the perception.
- 24:51Speaker 1: Right now, the franchise m definitely shocking news this morning,
- 24:56Speaker 1: and as of right now, the running back room is
- 24:58Speaker 1: talent as a committee looking at all of these guys
- 25:01Speaker 1: now to hopefully make an impact. Talk about the drop
- 25:03Speaker 1: off in talent. We'll see what that truly means here
