- 0:44Speaker 1: I am great? First off? You know, uh, we live
- 0:50Speaker 1: in a technology age. Yes, I know, we're live. Yeah,
- 0:53Speaker 1: we got it's a bit different than the show sometimes.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Oh but look man, ex Trinity, we gotta get it together.
- 1:02Speaker 1: We gotta get it together. My telephone line is out.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Oh no, we're on the cell phone now and that's
- 1:07Speaker 1: technology for it happens, it's fine and we we're glad
- 1:10Speaker 1: to have Thanks for battling through. You know, you're you're
- 1:13Speaker 1: a consummate pro. You're able to make that adjustment. So
- 1:15Speaker 1: I appreciate your boss, appreciate you coming on this program today. UM,
- 1:20Speaker 1: I gotta start with the dress rehearsal week. As a
- 1:23Speaker 1: former player, I mean back obviously when you were playing
- 1:26Speaker 1: in the early days, especially, Um, you guys played pretty
- 1:29Speaker 1: much every week in the preseason. How much time did
- 1:33Speaker 1: you need as a starting running back for you personally
- 1:36Speaker 1: to be ready for the season. Every play was griffin
- 1:40Speaker 1: and ripping. I tried to score a touchdown every time
- 1:42Speaker 1: I got the ball JP and sometimes people didn't like that,
- 1:46Speaker 1: but I wanted to in those first two preseason games,
- 1:49Speaker 1: I wanted to be look, let me show you what
- 1:51Speaker 1: I got coaching pre sy, I'm mid season ready. Take
- 1:55Speaker 1: me out of the game, man, you know, and uh,
- 1:58Speaker 1: I really try to do something big. And I hope
- 2:01Speaker 1: the a lineman had, you know, created a couple of
- 2:03Speaker 1: holes early so we can we can be on the
- 2:05Speaker 1: styline eating the sun flower season, sneaking, eating the hot dogs.
- 2:09Speaker 1: You know, that's what we were after after the first
- 2:13Speaker 1: first two preseason games, the dress rehearsals were a bit different.
- 2:17Speaker 1: This is when you're completely locked in. You're treating this
- 2:20Speaker 1: game identically as it's a regular season game, because you
- 2:25Speaker 1: want to go through everything that you tend to go through,
- 2:28Speaker 1: you know, as a veteran, uh for for preparation for
- 2:31Speaker 1: a regular season game. So for me, what's making sure
- 2:34Speaker 1: I warmed up at the right time. UH, I had
- 2:38Speaker 1: my the trainers stretching at the right time. I want
- 2:42Speaker 1: to make sure I would get my back you know,
- 2:44Speaker 1: stepped on in the in the locker room at the
- 2:47Speaker 1: right time. So I was going through my routine uh
- 2:51Speaker 1: at the third preseason game, UH to start out, and
- 2:55Speaker 1: but my visualization techniques was all about the same as
- 2:59Speaker 1: what I would do during the regular season. So I
- 3:01Speaker 1: really treated that game and and and the pre game
- 3:06Speaker 1: part in the whole entire piece as if HiT's a
- 3:09Speaker 1: regular season game. And I attacked it that way once
- 3:11Speaker 1: ball kicked off, and I really paid attention to, uh,
- 3:16Speaker 1: the situations of the game, you know, I mean, carries them,
- 3:19Speaker 1: getting early tempo, when they hit it, when not to
- 3:22Speaker 1: hit it, all that stuff. So if you're gonna be
- 3:25Speaker 1: a pro, this game was a very serious approach and
- 3:29Speaker 1: I needed it. I really needed it to to make
- 3:32Speaker 1: sure from a confidence standpoint, I was ready to go
- 3:35Speaker 1: for the regular season. What do you want to see
- 3:37Speaker 1: out of Leonard for NET in Thursday Night's game? Since
- 3:41Speaker 1: he hasn't played yet in the preseason? How much? How long?
- 3:43Speaker 1: What do you want to see out of him? Well,
- 3:46Speaker 1: I want to be able to see him hit that,
- 3:47Speaker 1: you know, flip the switch because they haven't played. Now
- 3:51Speaker 1: you go from you know, we're we're we're being told
- 3:55Speaker 1: that we're getting game like reps in practice. Are we
- 3:58Speaker 1: really you know, are we doing enough and practice? I
- 4:01Speaker 1: want to see him, you know, be able to flip
- 4:04Speaker 1: the switch and say, all right, this is fully live.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Being able to bend his knees, lords his shoulder, pass,
- 4:10Speaker 1: run through contact, you know, find those lanes that are
- 4:13Speaker 1: gonna be there, uh, and create some when some aren't there.
- 4:18Speaker 1: You know. I just want to make sure it's pat
- 4:20Speaker 1: level is great. Uh, he's running through contact and getting
- 4:24Speaker 1: his fields, you know, uh, getting his fields before the
- 4:27Speaker 1: regular season comes along in the next couple of weeks. Uh.
- 4:31Speaker 1: And I want to be able to see him when
- 4:33Speaker 1: when he's in there in passing situations. Uh As he's
- 4:36Speaker 1: been in there a bit more through practices third downs,
- 4:40Speaker 1: He's done some solid pass protections. I want to see
- 4:42Speaker 1: be able to see a little bit of that because
- 4:44Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the Dolphin is gonna have a you know,
- 4:46Speaker 1: they want to see their blitz packages, the ones. They
- 4:49Speaker 1: want to see what they have on from the defensive sides.
- 4:51Speaker 1: So I'm pretty sure a couple of blitz opportunities who arise,
- 4:55Speaker 1: and so I want to see how step in there
- 4:56Speaker 1: and and protect folds. Prior of the Jaguars running back
- 5:00Speaker 1: Taylor with us, the Jaguars offensive coordinator John d. Filippo
- 5:03Speaker 1: gets his starters out there for the first time in
- 5:06Speaker 1: this preseason, you know, and talking to him the other
- 5:09Speaker 1: day and hearing his press conference, you know, he understands
- 5:12Speaker 1: that the performance of this offense is not gonna really
- 5:16Speaker 1: say what's gonna happen in the regular season, but there's
- 5:19Speaker 1: gotta be somewhere down in there. You you want these
- 5:21Speaker 1: guys to perform and have some kind of move the ball,
- 5:24Speaker 1: have some sustained drives on offense, and and show pretty
- 5:28Speaker 1: well their first time out there, of course, without a doubt.
- 5:31Speaker 1: I mean that's why they prepare they I'm pretty sure
- 5:35Speaker 1: in a perfect world, they would like to go out there,
- 5:38Speaker 1: you know, the first possession of the ball game and
- 5:42Speaker 1: and and and hit a big play, hit a big
- 5:45Speaker 1: run maybe to start the game, or even a big
- 5:47Speaker 1: play with vice versa. Whatever comes first, they don't care.
- 5:50Speaker 1: They want to see it though, uh. And then they
- 5:53Speaker 1: want to see it capped off with a touchdown, so
- 5:56Speaker 1: you know, something like the three or four play, big play,
- 5:58Speaker 1: big play, a decent run, uh or a big player
- 6:02Speaker 1: big player, a nice nice pass pick up and a
- 6:04Speaker 1: touchdown four or five places right. They would love to
- 6:07Speaker 1: see that, you know. And then in the second positions possession,
- 6:11Speaker 1: they would probably want to see let us um have
- 6:14Speaker 1: some sustained drives we were executing third down because that's
- 6:17Speaker 1: a big part of it. Let's see how well our
- 6:21Speaker 1: our quarterbacks and our receivers, you know, let's see if
- 6:25Speaker 1: they're on the same page with communications with audibles, if summarized,
- 6:31Speaker 1: and in a few third down conversions, I'm pretty sure
- 6:34Speaker 1: they would love to, you know, come off the shield
- 6:36Speaker 1: after the first two possessions with you know, twenty plays
- 6:40Speaker 1: in the bag and fourteen points. Uh. And and again
- 6:43Speaker 1: no matter how many plays they put out there. They
- 6:46Speaker 1: want to see execution, you know, encrunched situations. But more
- 6:50Speaker 1: importantly jp the thing that we haven't seen the first
- 6:53Speaker 1: two weeks, the points. They want to see points more
- 6:57Speaker 1: than anything in the world. They don't care. They just
- 7:00Speaker 1: want to see points. Offensive coordinator, get it on the
- 7:03Speaker 1: board somehow in this game against the Miami offense and
- 7:07Speaker 1: get some points. That's a that's a good one their
- 7:08Speaker 1: friends offensive line. You know, it sounds like the list
- 7:12Speaker 1: of players not playing did not include Cam Robinson, so
- 7:16Speaker 1: by that it sounds like he's gonna get some time
- 7:18Speaker 1: tomorrow night. I think I'll probably believe it when he
- 7:20Speaker 1: runs out of the tunnel and he's you know, running
- 7:22Speaker 1: out of the on the field to start the game.
- 7:25Speaker 1: But you want your five offensive linemen together at some
- 7:29Speaker 1: point in the preseason. It seems like maybe not for long,
- 7:32Speaker 1: but it seems like they might have that tomorrow night.
- 7:34Speaker 1: How important is that for continuity upfront, not just you know,
- 7:38Speaker 1: in the run game, but as an offense, to have
- 7:40Speaker 1: those five guys together, it's pretty important. It's important for
- 7:44Speaker 1: him not only the offense, but you know, those those guys,
- 7:49Speaker 1: each guy, the guy next to I'm listening for a
- 7:53Speaker 1: speciftic voice, you know, a certain pitch. You know, these
- 7:56Speaker 1: guys have to be able to communicate, especially uh at
- 8:00Speaker 1: the opponent's home when when it's loud. You know, they
- 8:04Speaker 1: have to be able to trust each other, know how
- 8:06Speaker 1: Uh this guy is an overstepper on certain plays or
- 8:11Speaker 1: if this guy steps tight you know and and and
- 8:13Speaker 1: shallow or tight and vertical uh in there you know
- 8:17Speaker 1: pulls or zone zone stepping or maybe even their past set.
- 8:21Speaker 1: So it's one of those field things. Um the gap
- 8:25Speaker 1: space and you know back in the day, you know,
- 8:28Speaker 1: pop one and you would have to two ft you know,
- 8:31Speaker 1: two feet gaps between each lineman. You know, that's still
- 8:35Speaker 1: a thing. You wouldn't think it would be the case
- 8:37Speaker 1: in the pro. But these guys really gotta give each
- 8:41Speaker 1: other space because because of the way they step, you know,
- 8:45Speaker 1: little things like that that goes unnoticed to the fan,
- 8:49Speaker 1: to the naked eye, they're huge, and they're huge for
- 8:52Speaker 1: the guys, and it's huge for the offense of success.
- 8:55Speaker 1: And then you go from there, it's a confidence for
- 8:59Speaker 1: the quarter back, you know, for the running backs. If
- 9:01Speaker 1: I would look up there and Butselly wasn't out there,
- 9:05Speaker 1: I'm gonna want to trust the guy who's filling in
- 9:07Speaker 1: for him. But it's a different thing, you know what
- 9:10Speaker 1: I mean. It ain't seventy one baby, you know what
- 9:14Speaker 1: you're getting over there. So, uh, it's a confidence thing
- 9:17Speaker 1: for the quarterback in the running backs more so then
- 9:20Speaker 1: the receivers. They don't care. They just want the ball.
- 9:23Speaker 1: They don't even care who's throwing it to him half
- 9:25Speaker 1: the time until it goes in the dirt ten times
- 9:27Speaker 1: in front of him. Then they cry. But it'll be
- 9:32Speaker 1: a good thing to see all those guys back from
- 9:34Speaker 1: a coaching standpoint, other guys on offense, looking around, just
- 9:39Speaker 1: seeing the guys. But you know the band, it's back
- 9:42Speaker 1: in town and they want to be with each other. Man.
- 9:45Speaker 1: That's what the starters want to be with the starters
- 9:48Speaker 1: Bright and the Jaguars running back Fred Taylor with us
- 9:51Speaker 1: a few minutes left with you here, Fred, Let's flip
- 9:53Speaker 1: it the defense now. Had we heard earlier on this
- 9:55Speaker 1: show from Kleas Campbell when I asked him the other
- 9:58Speaker 1: day in the locker room how many reps? How many
- 10:00Speaker 1: how much time do you need in this game? And
- 10:02Speaker 1: he said, well, needs a strong word, And I don't
- 10:05Speaker 1: really need any time. I would want a couple of
- 10:08Speaker 1: drives here there. If you're Doug Maron Fred, we're gonna
- 10:13Speaker 1: call you the head coach for this game. How long
- 10:15Speaker 1: are you playing the front line? Defensive line starters in
- 10:19Speaker 1: this game? And got Way Campbell guys like that, I'm
- 10:23Speaker 1: gonna play him up until at least two possessions, two
- 10:27Speaker 1: or three possessions into the third quarter. I mean, you've
- 10:30Speaker 1: been on vacation, you know, the past couple of weeks.
- 10:32Speaker 1: So I'm gonna see what I got out of the group.
- 10:35Speaker 1: I want to see what my rotations look like. And
- 10:37Speaker 1: I want to see what's the best group that I
- 10:39Speaker 1: can put out there, you know, when the team presents
- 10:42Speaker 1: me with sub package, and I want to be able
- 10:44Speaker 1: to throw the rookie, the rookie and and my second
- 10:48Speaker 1: year guy and Tavin Bryan. I want to be able
- 10:50Speaker 1: to put you know, find a nice personnel grouping in
- 10:54Speaker 1: the rotation. Who can I put out there when this
- 10:57Speaker 1: guy runs out tired after being out there, you know
- 11:01Speaker 1: on a twelve played drive, who cannot put out there
- 11:04Speaker 1: if they come out here and know how to offense,
- 11:06Speaker 1: you know, I just have to from a comfort level.
- 11:09Speaker 1: I have to see these guys. Yeah it looks good
- 11:11Speaker 1: on paper, but I need to see it. I need
- 11:14Speaker 1: to see what level of energy I'm gonna get from
- 11:16Speaker 1: the group, and what type of production, and who's gonna
- 11:19Speaker 1: lead who when the real leaders aren't on the field,
- 11:23Speaker 1: you know. So it's a because there's so many many
- 11:25Speaker 1: dynamics to that group and so many different uh pairings
- 11:30Speaker 1: that you could put together depending on what the offense
- 11:33Speaker 1: presents to you. I need to see it as a
- 11:36Speaker 1: head coach, and I do agree with kells in in
- 11:39Speaker 1: a small sense that you know, he said he doesn't
- 11:42Speaker 1: necessarily need it. I'm pretty sure he was being more
- 11:45Speaker 1: sarcastic than than anything, because he's a if. No one
- 11:49Speaker 1: else in the entire NFL isn't. He's a pro, and
- 11:52Speaker 1: he's gonna need his fields. You know. He wants to
- 11:55Speaker 1: go through that uh but like he said, he wants
- 11:59Speaker 1: to get out there and get some snap because that's
- 12:02Speaker 1: what needs to be done. He's been away from the action.
- 12:06Speaker 1: They've all been away from the real action, so they
- 12:09Speaker 1: should all want it, you know. So I'm looking forward
- 12:11Speaker 1: to seeing that group along with Josh Allen, with the
- 12:14Speaker 1: returning starters, from a year ago. I can't wait to
- 12:16Speaker 1: see him get excited running on that field with that,
- 12:20Speaker 1: with the ones, the guys who are going to start,
- 12:22Speaker 1: I'm ready to see what he's gonna bring to the table.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Let's see some sacks, will see some quarterback pressures, some heads.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Let's get to the quarterback they we haven't been able
- 12:30Speaker 1: to really do that in the preseason yet as a
- 12:32Speaker 1: whole with the second and third groups here. Uh, Fred, Hey,
- 12:36Speaker 1: thanks for coming on today, man, and we really appreciate
- 12:39Speaker 1: It's always good to visit with you. And are you
- 12:40Speaker 1: gonna be at the game tomorrowight you're in South Florida.

- 17:09Speaker 1: Twodesky trucks. Yeah, they come through every year. I couldn't
- 17:11Speaker 1: remember which one it was, which time it was. So
- 17:14Speaker 1: it's been a little bit, but it's good too. Good
- 17:15Speaker 1: to have you always. I appreciate your time as always.
- 17:18Speaker 1: Here we'll get to the wrestling stuff coming up. You
- 17:20Speaker 1: mentioned the Fight for the Fall and let's start with
- 17:22Speaker 1: a little football though. And you know there's a trend
- 17:25Speaker 1: in the league now alex of the starter is not
- 17:28Speaker 1: even seeing the field the first week especially, but a
- 17:31Speaker 1: lot of times the first two weeks of the preseason,
- 17:33Speaker 1: and the in the Jaguars, um look at it here,
- 17:36Speaker 1: they're gonna go tomorrow night and probably not next week.
- 17:39Speaker 1: So this is kind of trending towards not having a
- 17:43Speaker 1: lot of starters out there and the bang for the
- 17:45Speaker 1: buck for the people coming to games and all that
- 17:48Speaker 1: is this gonna Are they gonna trim this preseason at
- 17:52Speaker 1: some point? Where is this leading down the road here?
- 17:55Speaker 1: I think too dangling that Carrod in front of the
- 17:57Speaker 1: NFL Players Association saying that we'll play fewer preseason games.
- 18:01Speaker 1: You'll have a chance to make more money with more
- 18:03Speaker 1: regular season games. You know, there's an NFL Network report
- 18:07Speaker 1: that you know, there's a possibility three preseason games, and
- 18:10Speaker 1: then you add another playoff game, in other words, making
- 18:13Speaker 1: it now where the number two seed rather than getting
- 18:15Speaker 1: to buy, would end up having a play that first week,
- 18:19Speaker 1: you know, and you'd roll from there, so it's you know,
- 18:22Speaker 1: I'm very you know, and you'd add a seventh team,
- 18:25Speaker 1: essentially another playoff team in and you then have seven
- 18:27Speaker 1: against two, three against six and four against five, and
- 18:32Speaker 1: so you'd have you know, to to two. You could
- 18:35Speaker 1: divide the games, you know three, you know, the three
- 18:37Speaker 1: on Saturday, three on Sunday. They've been floating on Monday
- 18:40Speaker 1: night games, Friday night games, all these different things. But
- 18:42Speaker 1: you know, again, the NFL players, is this something that
- 18:45Speaker 1: they want? So far, they've been reticent. They fill sixteen
- 18:47Speaker 1: games is enough, and a lot of them believe, and
- 18:50Speaker 1: I think rightfully so, based upon the way that the
- 18:52Speaker 1: coaches are handling the preseason, why do they need to
- 18:56Speaker 1: add more regular season games? If they're not going to
- 18:58Speaker 1: play in the preseason games, who care? Right, they'll show up,
- 19:02Speaker 1: They'll stand around, they'll watch, you know, I mean, and
- 19:05Speaker 1: that's exactly what's been happening with the Jaguars. I don't
- 19:07Speaker 1: know how to evaluate this team when I'm watching you know,
- 19:10Speaker 1: four quarters of Gardner minshew, I don't really know. I mean,
- 19:14Speaker 1: you can't, I mean, you know, and I'm not a
- 19:16Speaker 1: practice every day, so I mean, I can't see the
- 19:18Speaker 1: ones on the ones. But what's what they've found? And
- 19:20Speaker 1: it's interesting talking to Bill Pollyon about this from Serious
- 19:23Speaker 1: X having of course, his son Chris works for the
- 19:25Speaker 1: Jaguars under Dave Caldwell. You know how he was a
- 19:28Speaker 1: Colts camp and what he found out, and I think
- 19:30Speaker 1: it reaffirmed some things he suspected. But essentially, the people
- 19:33Speaker 1: that do the tracking of player data in other words,
- 19:37Speaker 1: like the way that a you know, number of snaps
- 19:39Speaker 1: received and how much work are you getting, they've determined
- 19:42Speaker 1: that you can almost get as much good work in
- 19:43Speaker 1: a scrimmage as you can in a preseason game. So
- 19:48Speaker 1: they found ways now, you know, and Matt Neggie did
- 19:50Speaker 1: it when Chicago scrimmage against the New York Giants. You know,
- 19:53Speaker 1: they were able to get some really good work done
- 19:55Speaker 1: to the point that he didn't feel he had to
- 19:56Speaker 1: play his quarter you know, his starters, and he wasn't
- 20:00Speaker 1: definitely gonna put Travisky at risk. What you do is
- 20:02Speaker 1: when you got that quarterback in the non contact jersey,
- 20:04Speaker 1: you you know, eliminate really the risk of any sort
- 20:07Speaker 1: of major injury outside of something flukey a lot of
- 20:10Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater. So teams have found let's do this. You
- 20:13Speaker 1: saw what Cleveland baker Mayfield last week. They thought he
- 20:16Speaker 1: got enough good working against the Colts, so they didn't
- 20:18Speaker 1: play the starters now you see Frank Reich saying, you
- 20:20Speaker 1: know what, and he said this earlier today, I don't
- 20:22Speaker 1: think I'm gonna play my guys. So you're seeing it
- 20:24Speaker 1: across the league. You still have some old school coaches,
- 20:26Speaker 1: you know, Vic Fangio, Andy Reid. They're gonna play it
- 20:29Speaker 1: where their guys go a little bit more. That's how
- 20:31Speaker 1: they run their programs. But an increasing number of coaches,
- 20:34Speaker 1: especially newer coaches, just figure we're not gonna get much
- 20:37Speaker 1: out of this work that we can't get in a scrimmage.
- 20:40Speaker 1: Let's stick with the scrimmaging and try to mitigate injury risky.
- 20:43Speaker 1: And if you're a starting quarterback. You know Pete Prisco,
- 20:46Speaker 1: you know him, you've heard of him. Told the story
- 20:49Speaker 1: the other that he talked to Philip Rivers and they
- 20:51Speaker 1: had a practice against another team where he got forty
- 20:54Speaker 1: throws in one of those practices. Well, in a preseason
- 20:58Speaker 1: game that week, he would have probably had five throws,
- 21:00Speaker 1: you know, So he's getting not that he needs to work,
- 21:03Speaker 1: but that's just an example of how much work you
- 21:05Speaker 1: can do against the team on a practice field and
- 21:07Speaker 1: it's safe. And then you're you know, because they're not
- 21:09Speaker 1: gonna go a full quarter in one of those first
- 21:11Speaker 1: preseason games as a starting group, right, I meant, but
- 21:15Speaker 1: every team is different, right in terms of where they're at.
- 21:18Speaker 1: For example, a team like the Arizona Cardinals. You know,
- 21:21Speaker 1: when it comes to Kyler Murray and trying to fast
- 21:23Speaker 1: track his development, you love to get him into a
- 21:25Speaker 1: game setting. Actually where there are some things that you're
- 21:28Speaker 1: just not gonna be able to simulate. Teams that I
- 21:30Speaker 1: mean that sounds goofy with teams with you know, special
- 21:32Speaker 1: teams very rare. You have full speed everyone just hauling
- 21:37Speaker 1: butt down field type special teams work in scrimmages. It
- 21:40Speaker 1: just usually does. It's hard to simulate that. I think
- 21:43Speaker 1: for some veteran teams, teams that are acclimated with a
- 21:45Speaker 1: certain system, maybe you have familiarity with a coach, it's
- 21:48Speaker 1: one thing, but there's others. If you're a team with
- 21:50Speaker 1: a first time coordinator, you know, you want to be
- 21:52Speaker 1: able to work on something. So I think there's no
- 21:55Speaker 1: one size fits all answer. But I do think teams
- 21:58Speaker 1: are moving more toward let's scrimmage together and and we'll
- 22:01Speaker 1: roll from there, and then we'll use the preseason games,
- 22:04Speaker 1: you know, judiciously if you will to try to see talent,
- 22:08Speaker 1: and of course when it comes to the fans, I
- 22:10Speaker 1: feel for people who buy season tickets because you're essentially
- 22:13Speaker 1: being asked to pay for two games where you're seeing
- 22:16Speaker 1: a subpar NFL product. I understand that it's an incredible
- 22:19Speaker 1: evaluation tool for some teams. I understand careers around the line.
- 22:23Speaker 1: I respect the game, I respect the talent evaluators who
- 22:26Speaker 1: can't get enough film to watch people. But when you
- 22:29Speaker 1: charge people full price for these types of things, it's
- 22:32Speaker 1: a tough pill to swallow for Elite that claims it's
- 22:34Speaker 1: fan friendly, you know. I just hope that there's maybe
- 22:37Speaker 1: some remedy in the future where the amount that's charged
- 22:40Speaker 1: for these games is greatly reduced compared to having to
- 22:43Speaker 1: pay for regular regular season price. In the preseason, Alex
- 22:46Speaker 1: Barvez with us from Serious x M, NFL Radio and
- 22:49Speaker 1: All Elite Wrestling. New offensive coordinator, new quarterbacks, and new
- 22:54Speaker 1: faces on offense around here, Alex, what is this offense
- 22:58Speaker 1: going to look like Week one against in the City.
- 23:00Speaker 1: What can you expect from from Fulls and some of
- 23:03Speaker 1: the new faces and d Filippo And because there's really
- 23:06Speaker 1: hasn't been an idea of what it's going to be
- 23:07Speaker 1: like that, well, I think it's going to be a
- 23:10Speaker 1: lot of Leonard Fournette if if you would, you know,
- 23:12Speaker 1: if you continue to read the press clippings and you
- 23:14Speaker 1: sort of see where this is going, for Net out
- 23:16Speaker 1: of the backfield, for Net being a workhorse, you know
- 23:19Speaker 1: type running back. This was the vision for the previous
- 23:22Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguar's offensive coordinator, but it never came to pass,
- 23:25Speaker 1: and that was largely because of Leonard Fournette with injury,
- 23:29Speaker 1: you lack of professionalism on his part, lack of preparation,
- 23:32Speaker 1: all of those things, you know, running off the bench
- 23:35Speaker 1: and getting into a brawl up in Buffalo, you name it.
- 23:37Speaker 1: I mean, these types of things. It's not you know,
- 23:39Speaker 1: we love fighting in a ew not so much when
- 23:42Speaker 1: it comes to getting a guy ejected so we can't
- 23:44Speaker 1: play the following week. So does Martin. Does you know
- 23:47Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette realized what a pivotal season it is for
- 23:50Speaker 1: him in and he told serious x M on the
- 23:52Speaker 1: training camp tour that he's you know, eliminated some of
- 23:55Speaker 1: the influences some friends that maybe you know, he didn't
- 23:58Speaker 1: you know, he realized these aren't positive people in my life,
- 24:01Speaker 1: so let me, you know, move on from them. How
- 24:03Speaker 1: serious does he take this sport because he's really on
- 24:06Speaker 1: the verge of being out of Florida's first coast. To
- 24:08Speaker 1: my opinion, things don't work out this year. You're not
- 24:10Speaker 1: going to see a rookie option get picked up, and
- 24:12Speaker 1: you'll see the Jaguars go in another direction. And it's
- 24:14Speaker 1: a painful loss to have to write off if this
- 24:17Speaker 1: is the case, because this is a jag team that
- 24:19Speaker 1: that passed on Patrick Mahomes, that passed on Deshaun Watson,
- 24:22Speaker 1: two quarterbacks readily available at that number four overall pick.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Instead they go with Leonard for net and he has
- 24:27Speaker 1: yet to live up to what they drafted him for.
- 24:29Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what John d. Philippo learned
- 24:32Speaker 1: on the job last year with the Minnesota Vikings. This
- 24:34Speaker 1: offense was so out of out of whack in Minnesota,
- 24:37Speaker 1: and talking to the people up there, they just believed
- 24:39Speaker 1: that they believe. For example, Dalvin Cook was healthy second
- 24:43Speaker 1: half of the season, he just wouldn't call running place.
- 24:45Speaker 1: He got very past happy and that's not and that's
- 24:48Speaker 1: what's so strange about the hiring of John D. Philippo
- 24:51Speaker 1: under Doug Morone, you look at a team that says
- 24:53Speaker 1: we want to be a smash mouth type team. They
- 24:56Speaker 1: base their signings in the two thousand and eighteen offseason
- 24:59Speaker 1: with that Andrew or Well at left guard, I mean,
- 25:01Speaker 1: one of the premier run blockers in the NFL. You
- 25:04Speaker 1: look at a team that they just wanted to pound
- 25:06Speaker 1: the rock and then you hire the guy who pounded
- 25:09Speaker 1: the rock the least of anyone in two thousand and eighteen.
- 25:13Speaker 1: Did John D. Filippo evolved as a play caller and
- 25:17Speaker 1: we'll find out. You know, I like Nick Foles. I
- 25:20Speaker 1: like him a lot. I think that he's a leader.
- 25:21Speaker 1: I think you can do a lot of things that
- 25:23Speaker 1: that Blake Bortles can't. And I mean I like Blake personally.
- 25:26Speaker 1: I just realized he was limited as a quarterback. I
- 25:29Speaker 1: just think there's just a lot of questions about you know, guys,
- 25:32Speaker 1: are they going to step up their game? And you
- 25:35Speaker 1: look at some of the at the offensive line right now,
- 25:37Speaker 1: Cedric Abwehe at right tackle, and then Cam Robinson. You know,
- 25:42Speaker 1: in his recovery, is he gonna be ready for the
- 25:43Speaker 1: start of the regular season. Are you're gonna be playing
- 25:46Speaker 1: someone else at the left tackle spot. I just I
- 25:48Speaker 1: don't worry so much about the defense. I mean, they're
- 25:50Speaker 1: gonna be solid all the way around. They I don't
- 25:53Speaker 1: think they were a special unit last year, JP. I
- 25:55Speaker 1: think they really you know, that was the one thing.
- 25:57Speaker 1: They were a good unit, but everyone got spoiled in
- 25:59Speaker 1: and expected the stars in the moon from this group
- 26:02Speaker 1: in eighteen and it just didn't happen. I think the
- 26:04Speaker 1: pieces are there to have a really good year on defense,
- 26:07Speaker 1: but again, this offense too many questions for me to
- 26:09Speaker 1: tell you that the problems are fixed, and again I
- 26:12Speaker 1: don't know exactly what to expect based upon the history
- 26:14Speaker 1: of the people involved. Yeah, it sounds like by the
- 26:16Speaker 1: way offensive line Jawan Taylor is going to get that
- 26:18Speaker 1: right tackle job for the Jaguars the rookie. They gotta
- 26:21Speaker 1: update that depth chart, man. That's right, and it's week three,
- 26:25Speaker 1: so you might get an updated one after next week.
- 26:27Speaker 1: Alex Marves serious XM Radio with his final football thought here.
- 26:31Speaker 1: Uh In Gockway had, if you hear the story right,
- 26:35Speaker 1: had a contract offer and didn't sign it. So it
- 26:37Speaker 1: sounds like he's playing for his fourth year contract number
- 26:41Speaker 1: this year. Miles Jack's contract is coming up. Jalen Ramsey
- 26:45Speaker 1: at some point is going to have to get paid
- 26:47Speaker 1: by somebody. Where would you prioritize those three if you're
- 26:51Speaker 1: the Jaguars in got Way one, Jack two and John
- 26:55Speaker 1: Town of Jalen Ramsey. Guy in terms of Jalen looked,
- 26:59Speaker 1: he's he's I think when you show up to camp
- 27:03Speaker 1: the way that you did with the whole Brinks truck thing,
- 27:06Speaker 1: I just you know what I mean. And he didn't
- 27:08Speaker 1: have a great year last year. That's the whole thing.
- 27:10Speaker 1: It's one thing. If Jalen Ramsey would have played up
- 27:13Speaker 1: to Jalen Ramsey's potential, I mean that's you know, gay,
- 27:16Speaker 1: then that's fine, and the Jaguars don't want to pay you,
- 27:19Speaker 1: I get it, you know. But he didn't. A J
- 27:22Speaker 1: Boye was the best cornerback on the Jacksonville Jaguars last year.
- 27:25Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey didn't live up to that. And that's the
- 27:27Speaker 1: thing that's frustrating because he can be one of the
- 27:30Speaker 1: great players in the NFL, not just cornerbacks, I mean
- 27:33Speaker 1: one of the great players. I think it's smarter of
- 27:35Speaker 1: the Jaguars to not make that investment in him. Right now,
- 27:37Speaker 1: let's see how serious he takes this, How serious does
- 27:41Speaker 1: he take this season? Does he get back to playing
- 27:43Speaker 1: at the same level that he does? I think in
- 27:46Speaker 1: Yannickntqua's case turning down a contract depending upon the numbers,
- 27:51Speaker 1: and I didn't see him, but how do you make
- 27:53Speaker 1: back tens of millions of dollars over the course of
- 27:57Speaker 1: your NFL career if you turn and down an extension
- 28:01Speaker 1: in two thousand? So what it comes down to, right?
- 28:04Speaker 1: I mean, if that first number starts with a two,
- 28:06Speaker 1: and I'm talking twenty million dollars a year on the average,
- 28:08Speaker 1: because that's where we're at, even nineteen million dollars a year,
- 28:12Speaker 1: I mean, how do you make back that type of
- 28:14Speaker 1: money playing on a contract for a third round pick
- 28:17Speaker 1: that is paying you what about a million dollars in
- 28:19Speaker 1: base salary this year about to and change to and change.
- 28:22Speaker 1: That's it. I mean, how do you make that up
- 28:24Speaker 1: over the course of your career? And you know, we
- 28:26Speaker 1: know what the injury rate is in the NFL. I
- 28:29Speaker 1: knock on wood, nothing happens to him. But man, how
- 28:31Speaker 1: do you even begin to you know, do you take
- 28:33Speaker 1: that risk because you're not going to be able to
- 28:35Speaker 1: make that type of money back probably over the course
- 28:37Speaker 1: of your career. So you have that and I listen,
- 28:40Speaker 1: my Miles Jacket is an extremely valuable piece of this defense.
- 28:43Speaker 1: I just think though, and Gotay has got to take precedence.
- 28:45Speaker 1: We'll see what what's up with Miles Jack too, because
- 28:48Speaker 1: the MIC linebacker market. The New York Jets by paying C. J.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Mosley as much as they did, blowing out the salary slot,
- 28:55Speaker 1: and there is a triple down effect. The highest PAIDMIT
- 28:57Speaker 1: and MIC linebacker in the NFL previously was Luke Kickle
- 29:01Speaker 1: at twelve point three million dollars a season, and then
- 29:03Speaker 1: the Jets pay C. J. Mosley seventeen million dollars a season.
- 29:07Speaker 1: You see what Bobby Wagner gets from the Seattle Seahawks.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Is there a team that says, Okay, we have this
- 29:12Speaker 1: money available now we'll pay seventeen million dollars a year
- 29:15Speaker 1: for a MIC linebacker or eighteen million dollars a year.
- 29:18Speaker 1: Do you feel that good about him? And the one
- 29:20Speaker 1: thing that I don't know with Miles Jack, And because
- 29:22Speaker 1: it's interesting because it's faded as a story. Remember he
- 29:25Speaker 1: lasted until the second round because everyone said that he
- 29:27Speaker 1: had an arthritic knee condition or a problem that was
- 29:30Speaker 1: going to be affecting him and shortening his career. No
- 29:32Speaker 1: one's talked about that for a long period of time.
- 29:35Speaker 1: Was the medical was the medical diagnosis wrong? Or indeed,
- 29:38Speaker 1: is there a concern signing him to a big money
- 29:40Speaker 1: deal because potential potential knee problems I could surface starting
- 29:44Speaker 1: in year four of his career something to follow with
- 29:45Speaker 1: the jack something. Yeah, you're right, we haven't heard that
- 29:48Speaker 1: around here in a while. It has seemed to have
- 29:50Speaker 1: been an issue for for Miles in his first few
- 29:52Speaker 1: seasons in the league. Here Alex Marvez with US Serious
- 29:55Speaker 1: x M, NFL Radio and All Elite Wrestling, the new
- 29:59Speaker 1: venture that time family involved in that of course, and
- 30:02Speaker 1: you were part of the commentary crew for All Elite Wrestling.
- 30:06Speaker 1: How did this all get started with you, by the way,
- 30:09Speaker 1: and how fun has it been so far for you?
- 30:11Speaker 1: It has been amazing. And you know, Tony Conn and
- 30:13Speaker 1: I have struck up a friendship outside of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 30:16Speaker 1: I mean, just look a brilliant guy. I mean, he
- 30:19Speaker 1: he raises my game when I hang out with him.
- 30:21Speaker 1: Let me put it like that, and we you know
- 30:22Speaker 1: he he knew of me you know, because I had
- 30:24Speaker 1: a background reporting on professional wrestling, and you know, when
- 30:28Speaker 1: when he and his family first bought the team, you know,
- 30:31Speaker 1: he introduced himself and he told me that I'll never
- 30:33Speaker 1: forget I met him doing a serious XM you know
- 30:35Speaker 1: radio show, you know, previewing the Jaguars camp and who
- 30:39Speaker 1: was in the old locker room, you know, before the
- 30:41Speaker 1: neon lights. That was your suggestion, by the way, I
- 30:43Speaker 1: know that, and uh, you know so, so we talked
- 30:46Speaker 1: about wrestling, but then as time went along we became
- 30:48Speaker 1: closer friends. You know, we went to a New Japan
- 30:51Speaker 1: pro wrestling show and Long Beach together. Were actually all
- 30:53Speaker 1: over the TV show when you saw New Japan's debut
- 30:56Speaker 1: in the States on Access TV, And he told me
- 30:59Speaker 1: confidentially that, look, I'm thinking about starting up a pro
- 31:02Speaker 1: wrestling company. I'd love for you to be involved, and
- 31:03Speaker 1: I'm not going to turn that down. So that's where
- 31:06Speaker 1: things started with All Elite Wrestling. And it's a true
- 31:08Speaker 1: passion of Tony. It doesn't diminish the amount of time
- 31:10Speaker 1: that he's spending, you know, on the Fulham soccer team
- 31:13Speaker 1: or you know, with the Jacksonville Jaguars, helping with the
- 31:15Speaker 1: analytics and things like this. It's just something that that
- 31:17Speaker 1: he's loved for a long period of time. He has
- 31:19Speaker 1: an incredible vision for where he wants our company to be.
- 31:22Speaker 1: And I mean already even before our first match on
- 31:25Speaker 1: t NT coming up October two, eight to ten Eastern time,
- 31:28Speaker 1: every Wednesday night, I mean, he has already made a
- 31:31Speaker 1: huge impact on the wrestling business. W w E has
- 31:34Speaker 1: it's the panic button because they don't want to give
- 31:36Speaker 1: us any momentum. They've added Wednesday night programming that's coming
- 31:39Speaker 1: up on another cable network because they're afraid of us
- 31:41Speaker 1: making inroads. They've signed their talent to longer contracts worth
- 31:45Speaker 1: more money because they're worried about all Eilie wrestling. I mean,
- 31:49Speaker 1: it's been it's been fascinating to watch, you know, the
- 31:52Speaker 1: way the way that the competition has reacted to this
- 31:55Speaker 1: upstart company. But I think we just are going to
- 31:58Speaker 1: stay in our lane. We're gonna produce a uality product.
- 32:00Speaker 1: We're going to produce great wrestling, and with a lot
- 32:02Speaker 1: of fresh faces, people that you haven't seen every week
- 32:05Speaker 1: on TV that are burgeoning superstars or have the potential
- 32:09Speaker 1: to become that combined with some really good veterans. It's
- 32:11Speaker 1: a very exciting time, you know, for this company for
- 32:14Speaker 1: professional wrestling. For a e W comes along at a
- 32:16Speaker 1: perfect time and Wednesday night, it's going to be very
- 32:19Speaker 1: interesting head to head wrestling wars starting once again. I
- 32:22Speaker 1: guess being back on t NT with pro wrestling for
- 32:24Speaker 1: the first time in twenty years or so, that's apropos
- 32:27Speaker 1: because that's really what the genesis of of TNT getting
- 32:29Speaker 1: involved in primetime wrestling to begin with those old WCWWW
- 32:33Speaker 1: E wars. That's the good old days right there of
- 32:36Speaker 1: wrestling for sure. Here's the schedule coming up for a
- 32:38Speaker 1: e W all out at the Series Center in Chicago
- 32:41Speaker 1: August thirty one, and then the a e W on
- 32:43Speaker 1: T n T schedule starts in October, as you said,
- 32:46Speaker 1: October two in Washington, Boston, a week after that, Philly, Pittsburgh, Charleston,
- 32:50Speaker 1: West Virginia down the Pike as well. One final question
- 32:54Speaker 1: about this, Alex before I let you go today, I
- 32:56Speaker 1: appreciate your time always. Um, how different is it a
- 32:59Speaker 1: pro coaching, reporting and comment hating on wrestling than it
- 33:03Speaker 1: is reporting on and interviewing people for football? And how
- 33:09Speaker 1: different are the two? Oh No, it's it's completely different.
- 33:12Speaker 1: And listen, I'm swimming in deep water, okay. I mean
- 33:14Speaker 1: we're talking about Jim Ross and Excalibur, the announcing partners
- 33:17Speaker 1: that I've had. I mean, these guys have broadcast literally
- 33:19Speaker 1: thousands of matches and among the very best in their
- 33:22Speaker 1: field before all elite wrestling. In the debut show Double
- 33:25Speaker 1: or Nothing, my experience was o point oh as far
- 33:28Speaker 1: as any sort of call of play by play, etcetera.
- 33:31Speaker 1: So definitely a learning curve. I feel like I've improved,
- 33:34Speaker 1: you know, quite a bit from you know, Fight for
- 33:35Speaker 1: the Fallen when I announced that to Double or Nothing.
- 33:38Speaker 1: I hope to have opportunities in the future to continue
- 33:40Speaker 1: to grow in that regard. But it is completely different.
- 33:42Speaker 1: You know. The nice part is I'm not reporting on
- 33:44Speaker 1: professional wrestling anymore. I talk about it. I have an
- 33:47Speaker 1: incredible background in professional wrestling in terms of all the
- 33:49Speaker 1: things that I've written about it in the past, but
- 33:52Speaker 1: I don't have to do that, you know, put pen
- 33:54Speaker 1: to paper and covered as a legitimate enterprise anymore, which
- 33:57Speaker 1: is nice. I'm actually part of the show at this point,
- 34:00Speaker 1: doing a lot of things for a ew some things
- 34:02Speaker 1: behind the scenes, some things like called by the numbers
- 34:05Speaker 1: for our road To series online, which previews the next
- 34:08Speaker 1: show like road To all out things like that. I mean,
- 34:11Speaker 1: so it's been an incredibly challenging thing at this point
- 34:14Speaker 1: in my career. JP. It's my twenty fifth season on
- 34:17Speaker 1: covering the NFL in some form of fashion, whether as
- 34:20Speaker 1: a writer, whether doing TV reporting like I did for
- 34:22Speaker 1: FS one, or or announcing for Serious x M NFL Radio.
- 34:26Speaker 1: And you know, to be able to have the chance
- 34:28Speaker 1: to learn something new and do something different on top
- 34:31Speaker 1: of that, at this point in my life, at this
- 34:32Speaker 1: point of my professional career, it's been extremely challenging, extremely
- 34:36Speaker 1: rewarding as well. I wouldn't change it for a minute.
- 34:39Speaker 1: And I mean the best is yet to come. I mean,
- 34:41Speaker 1: every week I'm gonna have a chance to be involved
- 34:43Speaker 1: with a pro wrestling show on television, on cable television
- 34:47Speaker 1: in a different city around the country. What an incredible
- 34:49Speaker 1: opportunity for me. And I'm greatly appreciable the con family
- 34:51Speaker 1: for giving it to me. Excited to see you on
- 34:53Speaker 1: that as well. Alex. Is always good to have you
- 34:55Speaker 1: and we always appreciate your time. Man. Thanks a lot,

- 37:14Speaker 1: Jags and the Dolphins coming up Tomorrow Night's eight fifteen.
- 37:17Speaker 1: The official kickoff time schedule for eight o'clock, but the
- 37:21Speaker 1: national television broadcast so eight fift told meats leather tomorrow,
- 37:25Speaker 1: but the Jags and the Dolphins. Some final thoughts here
- 37:27Speaker 1: in the segment. Each Wednesday, we John Oshan and I
- 37:30Speaker 1: usually pick some players to watch. Usually it'd be deep tracks,
- 37:33Speaker 1: but we're not really doing that right now in the preseason.
- 37:36Speaker 1: We're gonna pick two players to watch for tomorrow night,
- 37:38Speaker 1: and they're barely clear. First of all, for me, Cam
- 37:41Speaker 1: Robinson tomorrow. If he goes, it sounds like he could
- 37:44Speaker 1: get a little bit of time to our night. It's
- 37:47Speaker 1: his third NFL season, of course, coming off the knee injury.
- 37:50Speaker 1: He was just back on the practice field two weeks
- 37:54Speaker 1: ago for the first time, trying to get some more
- 37:56Speaker 1: teamwork at some point, we think, and it sounds like
- 38:00Speaker 1: not on the list of players not going at least.
- 38:01Speaker 1: Doug Marron had yesterday that we'll see if he trots
- 38:04Speaker 1: out there with the opening group tomorrow and how much
- 38:07Speaker 1: time he gets on that knee. He's been working with
- 38:10Speaker 1: a brace on the knee and practice the last week
- 38:12Speaker 1: or so, at least the periods we've had open to see.
- 38:15Speaker 1: He did not have the brace on the first week
- 38:17Speaker 1: he came back, when he was doing individual and walked
- 38:20Speaker 1: through only, so that has been a little bit of
- 38:22Speaker 1: a little bit of a change for him. He said
- 38:23Speaker 1: he doesn't really like it, but he understands why he
- 38:25Speaker 1: has to wear it. That's what he told us in
- 38:26Speaker 1: the locker room the other day. We'll see if he
- 38:29Speaker 1: gets time. That's a big part of this Jaguars offense
- 38:31Speaker 1: this year. If they can get their left tackle back
- 38:33Speaker 1: and ready to go for Week one, it is a
- 38:36Speaker 1: tight schedule of him coming back. That's somebody to watch
- 38:39Speaker 1: on offense tomorrow night. And on defensive side you heard
- 38:41Speaker 1: from earlier today. For me, it's Miles Jack, fourth year linebacker. Uh,
- 38:46Speaker 1: he's controlling this defense. Everybody has raved about his training
- 38:50Speaker 1: camp and preseasons or not. The preseason he hasn't played
- 38:53Speaker 1: in the game yet, but the training camp so far,
- 38:55Speaker 1: he's controlled that defense, getting guys in the right spot,
- 38:57Speaker 1: giving him the good looks. And let's see it in
- 39:00Speaker 1: a game tomorrow the first time with the starters on
- 39:02Speaker 1: the defensive side of the football. Let's see what Miles
- 39:05Speaker 1: can get done in his fourth season. Big one contract
- 39:07Speaker 1: here for the former second round pick. And you heard
- 39:09Speaker 1: Alex Marvez there say, you know, everybody kind of forgot
- 39:11Speaker 1: about those alleged knee issues that dropped him down in
- 39:15Speaker 1: the draft. Um, we'll see as the year goes on
- 39:18Speaker 1: here and his play continues. If you know, at some
- 39:21Speaker 1: point he's either gonna become a free agent or he won't.
- 39:24Speaker 1: What happens with the Jaguars with that, that's on down
- 39:26Speaker 1: the line. Let's see a little football tomorrow night from
- 39:29Speaker 1: Miles jack Our schedule tomorrow on Jaguars Radio, It's busy.
- 39:33Speaker 1: It starts at five o'clock with the public's tailgate show
