• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Jags am practice Day eleven. I think
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: it's a counting correctly somewhere along those lines. Diaguar's training
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: camp well underway. We're finally getting that steamy Jacksonville weather
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: in the past couple of days. Hi, Donnie Stephens, Brian
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Sex and John Osier here with you today. We're going
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: over some of the big things from last week. We're
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: with you on Thursday. We're coming back a couple.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: More times throughout the week now and we want.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: To tell you what's been going on. So big thing
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: number one is gonna beat chop Wood carry water. Of course,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Parker Washington is always a story in training camp, but
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence talked about their connection and why it works
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: so well.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Just consistency. I mean, the same guy every day. We
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: might not connect on every rep, but it's that dialogue
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: and the communication every single time. And you know what
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: you're gonna get from them if you talk about we
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: had a rep. I don't know if you guys saw
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: the deep shot today and we threw it in the
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: routes on air right before it and I told him
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: to hold this hang. I'm gonna throw out there, and
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I kind of missed the throw a little bit and
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: he man made a good catch on the sideline, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: then we got the same exact rep in team. He
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: ran it the same exact way, and I gave him
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: a good thrower we could run under it. So it's
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: just little things like that where he's just really dependable.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: When you talk about something, he knows what to do,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: he knows what to expect, and you can trust him
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: and he just keeps showing up every day.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Dependable, consistent.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: These are all things you want to hear about your
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: wide receiver, Parker Washington.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: When are they gonna get the deal done?
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Ryan?
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: If there's a player John having a better training camp,
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: I don't know who it is. I mean, he was
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: all over the Pad McAfee show on ESPN the other day.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: I'll talk about a five foot nine receiver who came
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: here as a sixth round pick, who has crafted himself
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: into perhaps the best offensive threat this team has. He's
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: had a tremendous camp. The problem for the Jaguars is
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: is that, well the time receivers are all of a
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: sudden really expensive. Say Flower, it's got a big deal
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: in Baltimore, and as they're trying to close in on
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: the details on this one. The number just keeps going.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Up well, and Parker is sort of like erosion right
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: where he's become one of the better players on this
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: team almost without you noticing it. And I don't really
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: know what day or what game or what you know,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: moments you noticed it, but all of a sudden your
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: house is gone, right?
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Is so.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: All of a sudden without every day he shows up
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: and now all of a sudden, maybe he's one of
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: the best players. And I mean there's Trevor and then
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: there's Parker. In terms of offensive weapons on this team.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: I don't doubt for a minute that it's going to
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: get done at some point. I think the main problem
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: is he has never had a thousand yard receiving season.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: He's never had that huge number season. But you watch
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: him in practice and you know that he has a
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: chance to be that guy, and you think he's going
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: to be that guy. Do you pay it early? When's
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: the right time to pay it? I'd be stunned if
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Parker Washington's not with his team for the long term.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: You remember the training camp where Jalen Ramsey showed up
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: in the Brinks truck to make his point I think
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: you could just pull the Brinks truck up and Parker
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Washington could go get in it to.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Make his Parker would never No, it's what I mean.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: It's completely clear here when I say erosion, I'm not
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: sure a player's I hate the phrase journey, but it's
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: all we use anymore. I'm not has ever impressed me
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: more than this kit because this time two years ago,
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: I didn't know if he was going to factor into
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: the team at all going forward. And now you know,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: I always say there's guys when they go down, like
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: when there's a player injured. I don't want to see
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: forty four. I don't want to see sixteen down. I
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: don't want to see eleven down either. I mean, he's
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: on that on that level in terms of importance to
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: the offense.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: It's truly been brick by brick with Parker, and he's
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: built himself up into quite a talented place. Let's go
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to our second big thing today, which is O line shuffle.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: We've seen some injuries and some movement on the O
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: line so far. Now obviously one of the bigger stories
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: we talked about last week Anson Harrison going to left tackle,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: but now with some injuries as well.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: John, things have been looking a little bit different on.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: The right side.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I don't worry too much about offensive line
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: injuries until you're closer to the regular season and until
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: you start seeing guys get put on lists that mean
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: they're not going to be on the field in Week one.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: But on the you know, Walker Little was playing the
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: right side. I think Anton Harrison has booked for the
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: left side now, so you've seen Jonah Mannheim go to
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: guard and Wyatt Milam go to tackle. As long as this,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: as long as there's not more than one starter down
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: going into the opener, and as long as they're not
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: putting guys on season ending Brian, I don't worry about this.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: This is sort of what they do during the preseason.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: It's not panic time in the O line yet.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: No, you get lots of these nagging injuries, especially after
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: you go to full pads. We're seeing Emmanuel Pregnan, the
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: rookie left guard, out there. He's been gone for a
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: couple of days. I can see it over here through
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: the window. There's a number of guys that are back
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: out there today, so we'll see what that means for
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: their practice on Thursday. Against the Saints and how much
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: participation we'll see from guys on Saturday in the Saints game.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: But at this moment in time, this is just natural
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: for this part of camp.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Manuel Pregnant was out with injury and then also Walker
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Little and Patrick McCarey are dealing with some stuff as well,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: so we'll keep an eye on that obviously, update you
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: as this week goes along. Our final big things today
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: are gonna be the big easy, and I could go
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a couple different ways. Obviously we're going to New Orleans
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: this week for a joint practice and a game, but
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: also Trevor Lawrence has been making it look easy so
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: far in camp as I would like to put it,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: because at least Brian, from what I've seen, usually it's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: inconsistency sometimes with Trevor because he's so talented. But then
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: as training camp goes on day off day, but there's
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: really not been a day where he looks bad. Now.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: There was a moment early in the mock game last Friday,
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: John where he was off target. He under threw Brian
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Thomas Junior, and he came back and he missed Parker Washington,
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: but then he grinded through it on the very next drive,
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: there he was and it was laser laser laser. So
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: he's had some up and down moments, but this is
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: a camp where I have thought that he has grinded
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: his way through the bad moments to get to the
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: good moments. I think it's been a pretty effective camp
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: for him so far.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: We're gonna have Any quarterback is gonna have better games
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: than others and better practices than others. I think the
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: thing you see from Trevor more than anything is if
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: the performance last training camp was this, then the performance
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: this training camp is this, and he up and down
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: is higher than it was last year. Whatever his floor is,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: it's much much higher. His struggling games from here forward,
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: I don't think are going to be the same as
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Australian games before. Even if it's just okay Trevor, it's
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: going to be good enough to win. That wasn't always
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: the case before. I think that's a product Brian of
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: his understanding and comfort within Liam Cohen's offense. He's got
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: eighteen games in now or as he didn't this time
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: last year.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: Well, that's right. The other day he made an arid
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: throw and then came back the next play and made
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: that beautiful throw down the sideline on Sunday to Parker,
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: and he talked about it yesterday with the media where
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: he told Parker what to do. He's just a guy who.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Is a nobody tells Parker what to do.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it sounds like a T shirt. It was an
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: adjustment that he made, and he's adjusting at a much
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: higher level of confidence and understanding of what Liam Cohen wants.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: He looks like a really knowledgeable frontline NFL quarterback right now. Again,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: they still have ups and downs, but I'd be stunned
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: if he's not just really really good this year and
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: we didn't know that last year.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: This time, the floor has been raised for sure what
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: we expect out of him. Stay with us here on Jagzam.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Coming up, we're gonna go over the in stadium in
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the practice facility scrimmage we saw earlier this week and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: tell you what we saw on Friday, the exam brought
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: to by Fields Auto Group Seafields First, Jacksonville's premier luxury
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: auto group. Head over to Fields Auto dot Com.
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: Continuing to improve our physicality and the excess and those
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: behind the games, because so then when we know that
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: and everybody can trust the communication, we can all fly around.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: So I liked what I saw in terms of being
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: in the right spots and stuff and kind of ramping up,
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: getting ready for a real game, kind of get that
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: energy behind it with the motin game field. But it's
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: always good to see a guy out there playing football,
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: talking with each other and flying around.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Wait, we we can weigh in on that mock game
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: they had on Friday. Obviously, lots of team sessions, practice
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: red zone, they do all kinds of stuff, but actually
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: set it up as if to be game like on Friday,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: our first little taste of what this might look like.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Brian, I paid particularly close attention to the running game
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: because that's been a focus for Liam, not just because
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: they've got a different running back room this year, but
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: because John and we talked about it. The running game
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: last year tailed off the second half of the season.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: And despite the fact that we talked so much about
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: Trevor Lawrence Parker Washington and Brian Thomas and Jacob Myers,
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Travis Hunter, what Liam Cohen wants to do with his
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: offense is all predicated on the ability to run the
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: ball when he wants to.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they need to run about an eighth of a
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: yard better than they did last year consistently, meaning they
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: need to get into They were in a lot of second, seven,
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: second and eight last year. They need to be in
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: second and six a lot. And I don't know if
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: we've played the soundbout in any of our shows, but
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Trevor talks about Chris Rodriguez the other day and sort
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: of just stated the company line on what this guy is.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: And it was interesting because I don't think he was
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: trying to say the company and he was talking about
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: what he has seen, the physicality. He's going to be
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: hard to bring down during live action, and his physicality
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: and you know yards after contact are going to be
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: what get them in better situations. It's the non sexy
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: storyline because you can't really see it during OTAs, but
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: they believe it. It's gonna be one of the building
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: blocks of this offense this year.
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: And the other side of the coin there with Chris
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: Rodriguez is he's a hammer and the defense gets tired
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: of tackling this guy. You get into the second half
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: on a game in September and October in particular, remember
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: the Steelers with your own Bettest teams just wear down.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: So you wear him down, Kuy, and then you bring
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: in Bachel Toutin and you run by the tired guys.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: I mean, the things they can do with the running
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: game with a big, bruising back like Chris Rodriguez, Well,
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: we're gonna see him this year.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: I've said it before. I got a lot of questions
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: about Rodriguez and everything seems to be packaged with short yardage,
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: third down, goal line guy. Just because you're big and
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: physical doesn't make you that he's a lot more to
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: this offense than that.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the head coach Liam Cohen said last week,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: you don't really see it until you get the pads on.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: He's in a real game.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: We've see in a little flashes of it, but because
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: they don't tackle all the way to the ground right now.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: But he's definitely that guy where you think it's going
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: to be a yard or two and it ends up
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: being much more than that, just because it's difficult to
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: bring him down. We talked about the running game, of course,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: there's also the defense, which when we talk about linebackers,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Foye is talking a little bit about what that's going
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to look like around him. Devin Lloyd obviously heading off
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: to Carolina, and now Ventrel Miller steps in, but also
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Branson Combs has been impressing some people. John, what's the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Linebracker room going to look like when it all shakes out?
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Well, I think it's gonna be Gardax starting on the
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: strong side. Foyer who It was funny when you see
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: him up there're like, oh, yeah, he's still here and
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: he's still really good. That's our free agents. Have you
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: seen come in and they're gone after two years? You know,
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: older veteran it should say older, but veteran guys. He
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: just keeps plugging and he keeps madder. Everybody sort of
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: assumed that it was going to be Ventrell Miller over
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: or on the weak side. I think Ventreil is gonna matter.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: But Brian, I think it's gonna be Branson Combs in
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: a lot of base situations where they think the offense
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: is leaning pass because he can really cover. I think
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: it's I mean, I think it's going to be an
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: ore situation, uh, rather than a first team situation over there.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: Well, because their skill sets are so different, right, and
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: Ventrell's a guy who could go over and back up
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: and play behind Foyeluacon as well and play true middle linebacker,
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: and Brandon Combs can step in and play the weak
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: side linebacker. So they talk about versatility on the offensive line.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: It matters in the in the linebacker's room. Also, Combs
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: is a guy that we saw last year on special
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: teams and you saw this six foot three guy with
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: really long arms, run really fast, and you thought, what
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: can he be In one year he went from being
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: a practice squad to special teams. What can he be? Well,
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: he can be started. I think they really believe. It's
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: one of the reasons why you don't You don't hesitate
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: with Devin Lloyd. You say, all right, listen, Devin, we
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: appreciate what you did for us last year. But this
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: is a younger player that we think has a very
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: high ceiling and we're going to go with him. So
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: there's been some injuries in that room too, worth pointing out.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: So it'll be interesting to see how that group comes together.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: You mentioned Denis Gardeck. I'm excited to see McCloud. Jalen McCloud.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit elsewhere on the defense, I
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: guess or offense, is there younger players you are excited
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: to see in the preseason because we're not necessarily going
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: to see starters this week and in New Orleans.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you're curious to see how extensive the
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: two rookie wide receivers play. You know, some of these rookies,
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: if they get in and show that they're over their feet,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: so to speak, they know what they're doing, probably aren't
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: gonna play that much in the pre season because they
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: don't get them hurt either. But Williams and Cameron Bryan,
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: it seems like for the first time in a long
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: time they are drafting. You know, there's going to be
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: jars on the shelf at the receiver position of that term.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Where As before they were always sort of searching and
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: could never find late round receivers. They found a bunch
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: of them.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: C J.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: Williams is a guy who started it. First of all,
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: he played at mader D in Santa Ana, California, which
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: is a premier program, and then he went to usc
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: Wisconsin before Stanford. I mean, the game is not too
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: big for him, and we've seen that every single day.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: I'm looking at one guy on the offensive line and
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: one guy on the defensive line in particular this week
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: John Emmanuel pregnant. Assuming he plays and if he's practicing today,
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: assume he'll practice and they have an opportunity to play.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: He's the guy that Jeff Loghaman has been talking about NonStop.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: When someone gets in front of him, they disappear. Now,
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: he wasn't a first round pick and because he doesn't
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: necessarily have the feet to chase guys and pull, but
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: if he figures out how to get in front of someone,
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: he races them. And I want to see if he
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: can do that against the Saints. And the other guy
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: is Wesley Williams, the fourth round pick from Duke Kay.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: This guy is a violent guy off the line of scrimmage.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: He's bigger than you think when you just look at
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: the six foot three and a half and two hundred
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: and fifty eight pounds. He is big. He is muscled up.
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: He's got big wrists, big elbows, you know the joints,
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: because you're going to need those to be strong when
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: you are violently attacking the offensive line. Plus, he's got
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: some nice moves. Want to see if that can translate,
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: because if you can have him and b J. Green
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: and then be able to slide Trayvon Walker inside next
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: to Eric Armstead. I mean, you see where I'm going.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: The multitude of options for Anthony Campinealy, who's one of
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: those defensive minds, those innovators. I'm really excited to see
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: if what we see out here translates to the Caesar
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: super Dum on Saturday.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're really excited about pregnant he I'm not sure
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: that he's going to be quite ready to start you
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: off the bang, so to speak, but at some point
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: he's gonna get it. And all of a sudden, Myleiman
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: preignon as your interior alignment for the future of this franchise. Uh,
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: looks pretty good on the interior of the offensive line.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Sure does.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: And obviously we're going to New Orleans for the first
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: preseason game of the year, but very soon we're gonna
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: be back in EverBank Stadium.
• 16:14

• 16:57
  Speaker 1: People are very upset and as are we, but he
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: left us, so we're moving on now. So first off,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: it's Ken from Saint Augustine, Florida says, I know Jaguars
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: GM James Gladstone always is looking to improve the team,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: but based on the fifty three man roster predictions that
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I've seen, I cannot find a player that I would replace.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: What position do you think the Jaguars would like to upgrade?
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Well, Brian, you always want to be careful in you know,
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: looking at a fifty three man roster and thinking well,
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: we got it. Yeah, you know, because they'll fall in love. Yeah,
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: there's obviously spots that you can replace. I think they're
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: still trying to figure out everything that linebacker will look like.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: I think they feel great about their offensive line. You've
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: got what nine guys do they feel good about. I
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: feel like they're in good shape there. I don't know
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: that there's any glaring position as much as there's just
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: spots that you're still curious. How will safety play out?
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Meaning what's that rotation going to look like? It's more
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: rotations than any place where I feel like there are
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: are places where they have to go upgrade. It's more
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: watching injuries and uh, you know, interior defensive line.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: I was just about to go there.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Could they still you know they love Matt Dickerson, Uh,
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Eric Armstead, you know, all those those things look good,
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: but you could still see a guy or to a
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: veteran who can hold up in there. Maybe there, But
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: I think the readers right, you feel good about everything
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: There's lots of answers to potential questions. Interior defensive line
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: is the first one that comes to mind. Although Eric
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: Armstead when he has practiced and they've been you know,
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: they've been easing him through camp at his stage of
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: the game, he's looked good in the in the past
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: rush party, he has looked really good and that is
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: an encouraging thing to see. And perhaps with Trayvon Walker
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: in there next to him, just the matchup problems that
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: those two guys will create. We'll give you more pressure
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: up the middle. There's been a couple of injuries. The
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: linebacking group is one that you've been like, Okay, you
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: know how we're going to shuff this one around. But
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: there's lots of potential answers to possible questions.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, I don't know the answers, but I'll wait
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: until they arise from the ashes and tell us the guy.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: What's gonna happen?
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Jeremy for Montana, he says, with Harrison looking like he
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: might play left tackle and play it well, I'm thinking
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: we need to get that extension done asap. A good
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: year on the more premiere side could cause a double
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: digit price jump to his eventual deal.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And some of this is whenever there's a guy
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: who starts playing well in his contract is not yet determined.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Every once did happen right away? BTJ sort of falls
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: into that way as well as as Parker. With Anton,
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: you've got the fifty year option, you've already extended him
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: in that sense. You've also got the franchise tag. You
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: can push it out a little bit. You can be
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: you can wait for other guys's contracts to fall off off,
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: you can wait for things to happen elsewhere around the roster.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: So could you go get a deal done, Sure, but
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure that you wouldn't also like to see
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Anton play at a high level there for a period
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: of time before you determine what that contract is going
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: to look like. So I don't know that that's this
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: preseason type issue.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: The way that Parker feels the question about Anton, It's
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: never been his talent. I mean, this is a guy
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: with great feet on that big body, and always a
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: left tackle in waiting. I think we've known that they've
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: wanted to be able to move him over there because
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: he's more natural aside. I had a conversation with him
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: walking off the field the other day. He gets it,
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: He understands left tackles make a lot of money, and
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: he is excited about the opportunity to go over there
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: and play. But the question about him has been his
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: consistency right from his rookie season until now. Can he
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: play consistent football? Can he finish consistently if he does
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: this year, I mean, I'm willing to let it go
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: into the year. If you want to get Parker done. Listen,
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: he's taken care of as far as contract. He isn't
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: going anywhere in twenty twenty seven. You want to lock
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: him up, you want to reward him, but Parker is
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: the more pressing issue for you. Get Parker done, have
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: him prove himself consistently, and I could see him being
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: you know that Jacoby Meyers a December extension where you
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: get him locked up for the lost term. It can
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: be such a balance too. You.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: Yes, you want to get guys locked in, but sometimes
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: franchises can jump too quickly to sign guys for the
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: long term. So you have to sort of be patient
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: and be over your feet a little bit and not
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: want to get you know, you don't want to just
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: have a list and cross it off fast. You want
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: to make sure you're making the right decisions and the
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: pragmatic because that's what you know. Yeah, at that point
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: when you're trying to get those things done.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: By the way, there's nothing wrong with having the carrot
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: hanging out there. Not everybody has to be happy through
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: the course of the season. Having a guy who's a
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: little angst ridden because he wants to know where that
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: contract is he's not necessarily a bad thing. Go earn it.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to anger a big man like that.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: He's a good dude't but he gets it. But there's
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: never a problem as far as I'm conservative saying, all right,
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: here's the level, go earn it.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: I'm just say if it's hanging out there and he's
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: he's not gonna get disgruntled. He wants to play, he
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: wants the money. There's nothing wrong with having.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: To earn it.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: We're still seeing it in real time, meaning when they
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: got here last year, they had to work with him
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: on every day consistency. Now they've moved him to left tackle.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: That step has been taken. So let's see that step
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: play out a little bit and then they'll determine the
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: long term situation.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: All right, let's close this out for Josh from Atlanta.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: He says, there's been some high praise from a few
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: of the beat writers for prospect X. Has Zach Durfy
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: stood out much to you? It would seem with his
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: draft spot, he's set.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: For a good bit of preseason game time.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's looked good. I mean Zach Durfy the defensive end,
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: He's one of four guys at that position who they
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: really like. Wesley Willilliams, J Green, Damie Strogal and you
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: know, I said that as four guys, Green has looked really good.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Durphy has stood out. He has a lot of traits.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: I would expect to see him some in the preseason.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: And uh, you know, you always hesitate with a rookie
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: pass rusher to get excited on August eleventh, because there's
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: so much that you've got to see. But he is
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: a guy. That position is very intriguing. We've talked about
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: it so much. You know about Trayvon, you know about
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Josh einz Allen. Where do you find impact out of
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: those four? Somewhere out of those four, As Kaya said earlier,
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: something will rise from the Ashes.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: I would be surprised if they kept five edge defenders
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: on the roster just from a numbers game, knowing what
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: they want to do on the offensive side. It could happen.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: I mean, his progress through the preseason games could force
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: them to keep him on the team, kind of like
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: Tyler Shatley years ago. He played so well they couldn't
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: put him on the practice squad. But Wesley Williams and
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: b J Green are ahead of him, I think considerably
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: ahead of him at this point, and so I think
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: it's going to be a fight for him to make
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: the roster over Danny Strigau, who's the guy they like.
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: But he's somebody that they want to develop, and that's
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: why they took him in the seventh round.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Sure, and we saw flashes last year, but obviously undrafted
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: free agents both BJ Green and Danny strigo So something
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: to keep an eye on there as well. Stay with
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: us here, we'll tell you what's coming up the rest
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: of the weekend when we'll be back on jags Am.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: That's the other side. I'm real, real healthy.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: I mean I drank coffee every now and then, but
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: I don't really drink it.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: As like me needing. It is more so just for
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: the aesthetic. And then I love Mata toufa.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: It's kind of like.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: The for the vibes.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: But I'm real healthy, of I'm real strict about what
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: I eat.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: John, what do you do for the vibes?
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: I drink coffee like it's oxygen.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: We need the Parker does not.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Parker gets in here at at five am and does
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: not need any caffeany He's just doing it for the esthetic.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: Naturally caffeinated.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: He was talking about that last week about like in
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: before thirty, and I asked him what he why, well,
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: what he meant by that, I'm not even sure that's legal.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Just he does go to bed early. He loves to
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: get some sleep.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: Now that he's a machine. We've talked about it, and
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: what a There's so many guys who fit this around
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: here right now, but what an ideal guy to be
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: setting your tone. All the coaches have to do is
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: say to rookies, oh, you want to be good?
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: Do that? He and Travis and Brian Thomas and Jacobi
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: you have a contest going on to see who can
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: get in here the earliest, which might seem crazy to you.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: It's like it's how they were ridiculous. It's one of
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: my favorite guys in the locker room. He just always
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: has a smile on his face. He's always willing to
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: tell you what he thinks, and he he does. He
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: speaks what he believes, and as someone with the microphone
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: who wants to get the story, you could appreciate the
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: fact that he's got that honesty about him.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: The good day, when that deal gets done, I'm not
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: saying if we're going when. So for us, the rest
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: of the week looks like another practice here tomorrow, then
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: we're heading to New Orleans. We're going to be live
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: from Saint slash Jaguars practice on Thursday for Jags Am
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: And what are you guys looking forward to enjoining practice?
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Like I like to see the competition level go up
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I feel like there's always a little
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: some extra.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll be cool because we really didn't get this
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: last year. Even in Miami. There was one out of
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: the three weeks we had a joint practice, and even
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: then the Dolphins were sort of done with camp, so
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: there wasn't a whole lot the Jaguars could get done
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: out of that. You know, you look for defensive and
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: offensive line play because that always feels a little more
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: real than what they can do out here. I'm not
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: saying it's not real out here, but there's an energy
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: to a joint practice out of that, so pass rush
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: some physicality. You hope that they get some controlled Look
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: at the at the two running games, the offense and defense.
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: I was just going right there, want to watch that
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: in particular because Travis e chan is that we got
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: that right now? Why he never told us formerly known
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: as I still want to know why he never said,
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: never said a word about that. He had the best
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: training camp last year of any Jaguar. So I imagine he
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: is going to be motivated on Thursday to have his
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: best day as a Saint. I hope the Jaguars get
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: after him. Should be fun.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: I loved what Trevor said. He I just called him trav.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Just keep it simple, all right.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: We'll see you again for JAGXAM on Thursday from joint
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: practice with the Saints and Joy.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to you then
