0:51
Speaker 1: They'll win over the Cowboys. There was some early offensive
0:54
Speaker 1: success with two touchdowns and three drives with the starters,
0:57
Speaker 1: well at least some of the starters head coach Urban Meyer.
1:00
Speaker 1: In the postgame press conference, the most impressive group was
1:03
Speaker 1: the old line five of our top six didn't play.
1:05
Speaker 1: And there was a point yesterday, um even late yesterday,
1:09
Speaker 1: where should we play Trevor or not? And that was,
1:12
Speaker 1: you know, my gosh, you take the first overall pick,
1:14
Speaker 1: and and then Will Richardson, who has been really arguably
1:17
Speaker 1: one of our most improved players. We moved in the
1:20
Speaker 1: right guard and basically you did just have walked through.
1:22
Speaker 1: We took two guys that were recently cut, but Derra
1:26
Speaker 1: and Jermaine and I mean the first time I'm shaking
1:29
Speaker 1: her hand as a pregame meal and that's that's a
1:32
Speaker 1: new one. But they're good guys. They played Walker Little
1:36
Speaker 1: played really well. Shatley's a stud, you know, he hangs
1:38
Speaker 1: in there, Juwan Taylor, but everyone else was out and
1:41
Speaker 1: uh but that was the most impressive thing that I
1:45
Speaker 1: saw offensive line protect our guys and we had to
1:48
Speaker 1: let the QB play. Why did you get rid of
1:50
Speaker 1: any Obviously the obvious is true, but you know the
1:54
Speaker 1: reality is, you know, I don't want to take away
1:56
Speaker 1: from w and they played well, but Dallas, you know,
1:59
Speaker 1: didn't play a lot of the the gay eyes and they
2:00
Speaker 1: played very vanill on defense as we did. But confidence
2:04
Speaker 1: that that's the most unique position in all of sport
2:07
Speaker 1: and getting a little bit of a rhythm. You know,
2:09
Speaker 1: we made that trade and we're going with him, and uh,
2:12
Speaker 1: he did not disappoint. It looked like you maneuver more
2:16
Speaker 1: in the shotgun, more bubble screens, more ruled outs for Trevor.
2:19
Speaker 1: Was that all design to get him comfortable? Yeah, it's
2:22
Speaker 1: just something you know that obviously that's what he did
2:24
Speaker 1: in college. Um, and we're gonna be you know, I'd
2:28
Speaker 1: like the rhythm, you know, I like the fact on
2:30
Speaker 1: third down and four we took a shot. You know,
2:31
Speaker 1: I like to be more aggressive than we've been in
2:33
Speaker 1: the first few weeks. And I thought Bev did a
2:35
Speaker 1: great job. But we're gonna do what that player does well.
2:38
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence finished eleven of twelve passing for a hundred
2:41
Speaker 1: thirty nine yards through the air and two touchdowns, and
2:44
Speaker 1: he said postgame, the rhythm was great to see. It
2:46
Speaker 1: felt great out there. Obviously, I think we just executed
2:50
Speaker 1: a lot better than we have the past two games.
2:52
Speaker 1: So it was just great to see. It's a good feeling,
2:55
Speaker 1: a lot better feeling coming to the locker room, uh
2:57
Speaker 1: today as opposed you know this time last week. So
3:00
Speaker 1: just one step in the right direction. You gotta keep
3:02
Speaker 1: getting better. Um now now they're going to count for real.
3:05
Speaker 1: So just putting everything we have into getting ready for Houston.
3:08
Speaker 1: But it was a great you know, builds a lot
3:10
Speaker 1: of confidence going into, you know, the season. It's nice
3:13
Speaker 1: to to finish the preseason with a game like that.
3:15
Speaker 1: We talked a lot about getting you into a tempo,
3:17
Speaker 1: not just cute the offense and get you just mentioned
3:20
Speaker 1: that he did a lot of things with you today
3:22
Speaker 1: that you did in college. How much of an impact
3:24
Speaker 1: we did make to be in the shotgun, the bubble screens,
3:26
Speaker 1: in the rollouts. I felt good. I thought we had
3:29
Speaker 1: a good game plan. I mean honestly, Um, it's all
3:32
Speaker 1: about execution that Like I said, I think we had
3:34
Speaker 1: a good game plan last week too, we just didn't
3:36
Speaker 1: execute it. So it's easy as someone from the outside
3:39
Speaker 1: to see a game and you know, we don't play
3:41
Speaker 1: that great or we don't execute it. It's it's gonna
3:43
Speaker 1: make it look like maybe we're not running the right
3:45
Speaker 1: scheme or whatever. But it's all about execution. Doesn't matter
3:48
Speaker 1: what you run. If everybody's on the same page and
3:50
Speaker 1: everybody knows it you're gonna play well. So we felt
3:53
Speaker 1: that today we were on the same page. We communicated well,
3:56
Speaker 1: we kept it simple, and then for me, just being accurate,
3:59
Speaker 1: making quick decisions, getting the ball in my hand and
4:01
Speaker 1: letting our guys make plays, and that was that was
4:03
Speaker 1: a difference. Run game was great too. So it was awesome.
4:06
Speaker 1: And there was a serious question about whether they play
4:09
Speaker 1: you today because how many offensive Linden were out. How
4:11
Speaker 1: much did they communicate to you about that about it,
4:13
Speaker 1: what the circumstances are gonna be. We talked about it.
4:16
Speaker 1: At the end of the day. We felt good with
4:18
Speaker 1: the five that we were running out there. You know,
4:19
Speaker 1: it's obviously it wasn't our starting five, but those guys
4:23
Speaker 1: have been busting their tail and they were ready and
4:25
Speaker 1: um and practice. They were ready, had a good week,
4:27
Speaker 1: and you know, I felt felt good with it, and
4:29
Speaker 1: we had a good plan to war. You know, we
4:32
Speaker 1: did take some shots, but also getting the ball in
4:33
Speaker 1: my hands, staying on the move that helped a lot.
4:36
Speaker 1: Run game was great. Like I said, I thought we
4:38
Speaker 1: just came out and executed well and that always feels good.
4:41
Speaker 1: All the press conferences from post game available on Jaguars
4:44
Speaker 1: dot Com. On a Happy Hour radio Monday, Tony Boselli,
4:48
Speaker 1: Pete Prisco, Well, they hijacked a couple of segments as
4:51
Speaker 1: usual and started discussing the quarterback competition before the trade
4:55
Speaker 1: of Minshew to the Eagles. I'm not trying to criticize
4:58
Speaker 1: Urban I mean he does more about managing and leading
5:01
Speaker 1: a football Yeah. My whole point is that every guy
5:06
Speaker 1: on the team knew. I've been in these situations. Do
5:09
Speaker 1: you know who the starter is? Like? Most of the
5:12
Speaker 1: time you go into practice and Pete, how oft did
5:14
Speaker 1: I tell you walking up the field early? And ok,
5:18
Speaker 1: are camp saying he can play? He can't play? He
5:21
Speaker 1: can he can't players. And here's the other thing. Urban
5:27
Speaker 1: Meyer knows fifty thousand billion more things than I do
5:32
Speaker 1: about football, and he always will and he always has.
5:34
Speaker 1: He's a professional coach. He's a great coach. He's been
5:37
Speaker 1: a great coach. But that doesn't mean everything he does
5:40
Speaker 1: is right. And that's what I always get, this pushback,
5:42
Speaker 1: or you're not coach, not coach. Look, I know what
5:46
Speaker 1: I think is right, and I can say that, and
5:48
Speaker 1: I can and I can say the quarterback competition was
5:51
Speaker 1: not right. And if you wanted to explain it to me.
5:54
Speaker 1: I might understand it, but I don't see any rational
5:57
Speaker 1: reason to do that. Agree, you have a um, I
6:01
Speaker 1: think we figured it out. I can't remember because we
6:03
Speaker 1: kind of we've kind of jumped on the compey. Shocking. Wow.
6:08

Speaker 1: Week one while the Jaguars are away to face the
8:50
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. The kickoff for the Packers in the Saints
8:53
Speaker 1: game is scheduled for four Eastern Wednesday afternoon. Offensive line
8:56
Speaker 1: coach George Warhot met the media on a zoom call.
8:59
Speaker 1: He expects the full starting offensive line to be ready
9:01
Speaker 1: to play next Sunday in Houston, but he was also
9:04
Speaker 1: asked about the pressure of blocking for the number one
9:06
Speaker 1: overall pick quarterback and the relationship between Trevor Lawrence and
9:10
Speaker 1: the line. I think you know, protection starts with us
9:12
Speaker 1: in the backs right, we got to do our part
9:15
Speaker 1: to protect the quarterback. He's got to do his part
9:17
Speaker 1: by getting the ball out of his hand. So it's
9:20
Speaker 1: more than just the old line and how we go
9:21
Speaker 1: about it or the backs of the tied ends with protections,
9:24
Speaker 1: and there's no question we got to do our job.
9:25
Speaker 1: And I could really care less who's back there. We
9:27
Speaker 1: don't want to get touched. So whether it's a rookie
9:29
Speaker 1: or fifteen year vet, right, we we got to protect
9:32
Speaker 1: the quarterback. But then it also becomes offensively how you
9:35
Speaker 1: deal with it. Right as the ball coming out or
9:37
Speaker 1: you know, as he holding the ball is we're moving
9:39
Speaker 1: him or doing whatever. So it's a collective deal to
9:42
Speaker 1: protect the quarterback. So and I think, uh, the plan
9:46
Speaker 1: that we have for him, I think it is going
9:47
Speaker 1: to be pretty effective. So with that, what what is
9:50
Speaker 1: Trevor's relationship with with your guys up front and how
9:53
Speaker 1: has that developed throughout throughout camp and then specifically once
9:56
Speaker 1: he became became the name starter and his interactions with them. Well,
10:00
Speaker 1: mean you've met Trevor, correct, I mean, uh, who's an
10:03
Speaker 1: engaging kid. Um, he's an upbeat kid. Uh, he's that way.
10:07
Speaker 1: All our guys love him. He talks to them all,
10:10
Speaker 1: he engages them all. So I've been most impressed with
10:13
Speaker 1: how he's come in and really just related to everybody.
10:16
Speaker 1: So there's zero issue with him in terms of starting
10:20
Speaker 1: a relationship or even you know, taking time to meet
10:23
Speaker 1: with chat Lee or meet with Linda Gay as a center. Hey,
10:26
Speaker 1: how you looking at this? How are you gonna go
10:28
Speaker 1: about that? And those guys being on the same page. So, um,
10:31
Speaker 1: he's a great He's a really good young pro. He's
10:33
Speaker 1: got a tremendous personality, and he's already engaged in these
10:35
Speaker 1: guys at a fairly high level. All the press availabilities
10:38
Speaker 1: this week available on Jaguars dot Com. Let's move along
10:42
Speaker 1: to Wednesday afternoon, where Bucky Brooks, John Ojan and I
10:45
Speaker 1: reacted to the roster cuts, the waiver claim, and much
10:48
Speaker 1: more on huddle up with Bucky Brooks. That's concerned number
10:51
Speaker 1: one for me. You know, we got Dorset as dinged
10:53
Speaker 1: right now. We brought in Devin Smith and he goes
10:56
Speaker 1: out there and makes him you know, it makes a
10:58
Speaker 1: catch that I told I haven't seen guys make so.
11:02
Speaker 1: But he's also had two a c l as he's
11:03
Speaker 1: an older player. But he gives you the top end
11:06
Speaker 1: of the he can knock the top off the covers. Uh,
11:10
Speaker 1: that's my that's my biggest concern. And also three running
11:13
Speaker 1: backs with the et M being out, so we're that's conversation,
11:18
Speaker 1: as they continued head coach Urban Meyer after the game
11:22
Speaker 1: Sunday in Dallas and welcome back. This is Huddle Up
11:25
Speaker 1: with Bucky Brooks, j P Shadrick John Osan alongside as well.
11:29
Speaker 1: And this hour of Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks is
11:31
Speaker 1: brought to you by Fields Cadillac of Jacksonville and Fields
11:34
Speaker 1: Cadillac St. Augustine, members of the Fields Auto Group. Well,
11:39
Speaker 1: that said, the Jaguars have the number one priority and
11:43
Speaker 1: the claim order and waivers, and they used that last
11:47
Speaker 1: night and today, and they have picked up wide receiver
11:51
Speaker 1: Tyron Johnson off waivers from the Los Angeles Chargers, originally
11:56
Speaker 1: undrafted in twenty nineteen out of Oklahoma State by the
11:58
Speaker 1: Texans a few different practice squads in twenty nineteen. Last season,
12:03
Speaker 1: week four was elevated back down the week after that
12:07
Speaker 1: and then finished the season from Week six forward on
12:09
Speaker 1: the regular roster in Los Angeles waiver claim and you
12:13
Speaker 1: see the stats there on the screen in front of
12:15
Speaker 1: you in nearly four hundred yards three touchdowns. But Bucky,
12:18
Speaker 1: it's all about speed With Tyron Johnson, they have to
12:21
Speaker 1: be faster on the perimeter right now. They have a
12:24
Speaker 1: lot of same speed guys, meaning possession receivers, guys that
12:27
Speaker 1: are chain movers, but they don't have any big play threats.
12:30
Speaker 1: And so when you're scaling the waiver wire, you're looking
12:33
Speaker 1: for something that's different than what you currently have. They
12:35
Speaker 1: want someone who can give them a vertical dimension in
12:38
Speaker 1: the passing game. Maybe Tyron Johnson gonna be a guy
12:40
Speaker 1: that can help them right away. Yeah, I thought Bucky
12:43
Speaker 1: hit hitting on the head right there. Right now. You
12:47
Speaker 1: know the numbers thing that Irban Meyer talked about in
12:49
Speaker 1: the press conversation day five receivers, three running concerned about
12:53
Speaker 1: five receivers and about three running backs. So I think
12:55
Speaker 1: people and I probably fell into this too, automatically assumed, well,
13:00
Speaker 1: they've got those numbers, so they're gonna go out and
13:03
Speaker 1: sign or claim waiver players to up those numbers. Well,
13:09
Speaker 1: now that they've gotten those guys through to them, they've
13:13
Speaker 1: got what seventeen wide receivers in the practice squad. Now
13:16
Speaker 1: JP what number was that, But they've got four or
13:19
Speaker 1: five and Chebucky's point, a lot of those guys are
13:22
Speaker 1: sort of the same kind of guy. They also have
13:26
Speaker 1: divine as Egbo and on Nathan Cotrell at running back
13:30
Speaker 1: in the practice squad, those guys be protected. The numbers
13:34
Speaker 1: issue that Meyer was concerned about yesterday has been solved.
13:37
Speaker 1: Now that those guys are through to the practice squad.
13:39
Speaker 1: They've got their depth there, I think they believe, so
13:42
Speaker 1: there's not that urgency to go out necessarily sign a player.
13:46
Speaker 1: I'm a little surprised that they weren't more active on
13:49
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, but they saw this Tyron Johnson, who
13:53
Speaker 1: is Bucky said, gives them something they didn't have. I
13:56
Speaker 1: guess in ourtrick. I'm not surprised they didn't address defense
13:59
Speaker 1: because they kept so many guys that they clearly liked
14:02
Speaker 1: those guys for a reason, or else they wouldn't have
14:04
Speaker 1: kept them. So I don't say they're done, but I
14:07
Speaker 1: don't think there is worried maybe as they were yesterday
14:11
Speaker 1: when those guys were floating out there, and the the ability
14:13
Speaker 1: to move guys up and down off the squad Bucky
14:16
Speaker 1: gives them some flexibility gives everybody in the league the
14:18
Speaker 1: flexibility another year. Also, the expanded practice squad size sixteen
14:23
Speaker 1: guys being able to be on the practice squad eventually
14:26
Speaker 1: being able to really stockpile the kind of talent that
14:28
Speaker 1: you want. Also, it's not a coincidence that a lot
14:31
Speaker 1: of the guys that are on the practice squad were
14:33
Speaker 1: in camp with the Jaguars, because what you would like
14:37
Speaker 1: is to have a bullpen full of players that know
14:40
Speaker 1: the system. They've gone through preseason, they understand those things,
14:43
Speaker 1: so it's minimal teaching and learning that needs to be
14:46
Speaker 1: done if they're elevated. This is all part of a
14:49
Speaker 1: bigger plan when it comes to the team building process,
14:52
Speaker 1: making sure you have enough I was going to be
14:54
Speaker 1: parts to be able to step up at a moment's
14:57
Speaker 1: noses whenever you need it. Cut down day JP really
15:00
Speaker 1: it's lost some of the luster and and it doesn't
15:03
Speaker 1: have luster for players. I'm talking as fans and media
15:07
Speaker 1: who watched it and they're waiting for that cutdown day
15:09
Speaker 1: to come, and it means careers are gonna end. Some
15:12
Speaker 1: careers do end, and I'm not being incessantive intensitive that,
15:15
Speaker 1: but the reality is it's not a fifty three man
15:18
Speaker 1: roster in the NFL right now, it's about a sixty
15:20
Speaker 1: or sixty one man roster because of how many of
15:22
Speaker 1: the that you can protect. And it's really, as Urban
15:25
Speaker 1: alluded to yesterday, having those sixteen spots made those cuts
15:29
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot less difficult because now you've got
15:32
Speaker 1: about what sixty six sixty seven of the guys that
15:36
Speaker 1: you had before. So yesterday they said goodbye to about
15:42
Speaker 1: fifteen guys, not thirty seven like it used to be
15:45
Speaker 1: on that day. Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks airs Wednesdays
15:47

Speaker 1: news segment this week. I think I think I'm gonna
16:04
Speaker 1: go ahead and go first because surprise, I picked Walker Little,
16:06
Speaker 1: everyone's favorite person to talk about. I think I think
16:10
Speaker 1: there is a reason George Warhop is pumping the brakes
16:13
Speaker 1: on Walker Little. So before what we just heard, offensive
16:16
Speaker 1: line coach George Warhop was saying, you know there's some
16:19
Speaker 1: things that Walker Little can improve on in training camp
16:22
Speaker 1: in preseason, and I think there's a reason for that.
16:25
Speaker 1: I think we notably pump up Walker a Little as
16:28
Speaker 1: much as we possibly can. We paved his way to Canton,
16:31
Speaker 1: but we have to remember that this guy is a rookie.
16:34
Speaker 1: And coach war Hoop was talking about how much he
16:36
Speaker 1: likes the starting five, the offensive line, which as of
16:40
Speaker 1: right now does not include Walker Little. There's a reason
16:43
Speaker 1: for that. I think everyone's hearing Walker Little's pushing camera
16:46
Speaker 1: than Walker Little might be the starter week too up
16:49
Speaker 1: to coach Coach Warhop, I don't think so. You know,
16:51
Speaker 1: it's interesting, Um, as I was listening to Georgia today,
16:53
Speaker 1: I realized, we're all around the celly all the time. Right.
16:57
Speaker 1: We get irritated buying him. We forget at how great
17:02
Speaker 1: of a left tackle he was because he stepped right
17:05
Speaker 1: in as a rookie, and he didn't step in an
17:07
Speaker 1: opening day. He went in on a Sunday night against
17:09
Speaker 1: Green Bay and and shut down Reggie White and Shawn
17:13
Speaker 1: Jones and did not give up a sack. Um he
17:16
Speaker 1: was hurt opening day or he would have shut down
17:18
Speaker 1: that gap. He didn' get in because he was injured.
17:21
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is it from the very moment
17:22
Speaker 1: that he stepped on the field, he wasn't just the
17:25
Speaker 1: best offensive lineman. He was one of the best two
17:27
Speaker 1: or three players on the field. And Walker Little is
17:30
Speaker 1: extremely talented and a guy with a huge upside. But
17:35
Speaker 1: the George Warhop says, hey, rookie left tackles. This guy
17:37
Speaker 1: included all struggle Vassell, he didn't struggle. That tells you
17:41
Speaker 1: how great Passel he was. And that Walker Little is
17:44
Speaker 1: just not quite the gonna take time so slowed out.
17:48
Speaker 1: Pump the brakes, John. I still anticipate the walk a
17:50
Speaker 1: little by virtue of injury attrition. Something will happen he's
17:55
Speaker 1: on the field this year, and I anticipate that by
17:59
Speaker 1: the time he gets on the field this year, he
18:01
Speaker 1: won't come off the field again. It'll be a a
18:04
Speaker 1: more natural transition, which is sort of the kind of
18:07
Speaker 1: tradition I mean, transition that coaches like in this situation.
18:12
Speaker 1: Uh So, I think this will all take care of itself.
18:14
Speaker 1: Where is the guy who can step on the field.
18:15
Speaker 1: They want to anchor that pivotal position. But he's a
18:18
Speaker 1: guy who will be an anchor for a very long
18:21
Speaker 1: time once he gets out there all right, I think,
18:24
Speaker 1: I think, I think, I think, I think, I think
18:27
Speaker 1: um that Josh Allen is the jaguars most important story
18:32
Speaker 1: right now outside of Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence is, you know,
18:35
Speaker 1: the big matster ball hanging out there of it. Josh
18:38
Speaker 1: Allen is important because of this. I love Josh Allen.
18:45
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a fantastic player. I
18:48
Speaker 1: think he's going to be a pro bowler. I think
18:49
Speaker 1: he has a chance to be a game changing, franchise
18:52
Speaker 1: defining defensive player. And if you've got that on both
18:55
Speaker 1: sides of the ball, that's really rare. Most teams who
18:59
Speaker 1: have franchise quarter act don't have elite Von Miller defensive guy.
19:03
Speaker 1: But he hasn't really been that guy yet. And a
19:07
Speaker 1: lot of what I said is faith because I see
19:10
Speaker 1: the guy in practice every day. I hear a coaches
19:13
Speaker 1: talk about him. I see how he is, he prepares,
19:16
Speaker 1: everything's there. But the unknown is can he be carry
19:21
Speaker 1: the defense guy? I think he can, he hasn't yet.
19:25
Speaker 1: If he does that, the team and the defense or
19:30
Speaker 1: I dramatically better. He hasn't done it yet. So to me,
19:33
Speaker 1: that's the key for this season. I don't want to
19:35
Speaker 1: discount what he did as a rookie, but he did
19:37
Speaker 1: it with Calais Campbell on the other side and Yannick
19:39
Speaker 1: and Goquay on the other side. He made great plays
19:42
Speaker 1: with tending to have sacks, which was the most by
19:43
Speaker 1: all rookies that year and a Jaguars rookie record. Obviously,
19:47
Speaker 1: last year, when the focus was on him before he
19:49
Speaker 1: got injured, he struggled right to be able to create. Well,
19:52
Speaker 1: there's more talent there this year, so he should be able.
19:55
Speaker 1: He has to be like von Miller, the guy who
19:58
Speaker 1: can make it happen on his own team. Stopping the
20:01
Speaker 1: run better should by definition help him be what he is.
20:08
Speaker 1: Last year, I sort of thought a lot of the
20:09
Speaker 1: reason that he wasn't what we thought he was was
20:11
Speaker 1: because of that and any injury. Um, if there is
20:14
Speaker 1: good against the run and other teams are in obvious
20:17
Speaker 1: passing situations, then Josh Allen must be an eight or
20:20
Speaker 1: nine SAT guy, I would agree, and I think he's
20:22
Speaker 1: capable of being that and more. He's that talented. Um.
20:25
Speaker 1: I think I think that I really like shack quarterman
20:28
Speaker 1: in Joe Collen's defense. Right at least this segment makes
20:32
Speaker 1: you giggle. Um, because I liked the way on first
20:36
Speaker 1: and second down, right, I want to tell you who
20:38
Speaker 1: I think he is rather than say, well, he's not
20:40
Speaker 1: Fred Warner. He you know, he's not Luke Keithley or
20:42
Speaker 1: Devin White. I'll exactly, Well, that's true, and and a
20:46
Speaker 1: local boy at that. But he reminds me of two
20:49
Speaker 1: guys that played in that three four and the hallmark
20:51
Speaker 1: three four to me was the Steelers. Um, he's not
20:53
Speaker 1: as big as Levon Kirkland, but he runs to the
20:57
Speaker 1: whole like Levon Kirkland. And when he gets there, he
20:59
Speaker 1: hit like Earl Holmes, the former Florida A and M linebacker.
21:03
Speaker 1: He's a guy especially in run situations. And again I'm
21:06
Speaker 1: figuring by injury and attrition he's going to be on
21:09
Speaker 1: the field in the scheme at some point. A three
21:11
Speaker 1: four scheme is a linebacker intensive scheme they play, and
21:15
Speaker 1: I think Jack Corterman fits this one to a t.
21:17
Speaker 1: And listening to him yesterday, his mindset, his mentality, his
21:20
Speaker 1: approach to the game, it's it's a prototypical three four linebacker.
21:25
Speaker 1: He's not going to be a tense sack guy like
21:27
Speaker 1: a Fred Warner. You know he's not gonna be an
21:28
Speaker 1: interception pick six guy. Um, but man, is he going
21:32
Speaker 1: to be a factor at some point in helping this
21:34
Speaker 1: team stop the run? I Think Jaguars Drive Time airs Monday,
