Ep. 85: Predictions for Friday Night Preseason Finale · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

  Speaker 1: Welcome into jag Zam. It's Thursday, August twenty second. We're
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: getting ready for the third and final preseason game of
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the year. Welcome to jag Zam. This morning. Brian Texton
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and John Osier are with me as we're getting ready
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to get ready for that final game. Big thing number
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: one is the final tune up. We mentioned that the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: starters are expected to go about a half in this game,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: but Atlanta not playing any starters. So, Brian, what are
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you gonna be focused on out there? Because they're not
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: going up against the first ring Atlanta team, But what
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: are you gonna focus about for our team?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Well, my expectations and I'm sure they're the same for
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Doug and his coaching staff, or that we play well
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: so to speak.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Right, the offensive line has a degree of cohesion.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: It's the first time we'll see all five of them
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: out there throughout camp. I want to see the defense
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: play fast like they have. I want to see my
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: special teams perform at a regular season level, even though
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I'm only playing against twos and threes if that, because
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: last week in Baltimore, the Falcons sat a lot more
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: than just their starters. I want to make sure that
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: we're out there doing what we do.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: If I'm Doug Peterson, yeah, I think the big storyline,
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: I don't know if we'll be able to judge it
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: that well, but is in fact that the five stars
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: in the offensive line are all playing together for the
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: first time. So I think they'll probably get a little
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: more of an extended run than they might normally because
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: it's the first time these guys have all played together.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: I would expect because it's the first time, there to
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: be some hiccups. You'd like those guys to be coming
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: out of this game saying, Okay, we got all that aside.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: We're ready for the regular season as close as you
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: can be.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: And I do sort of wonder if maybe you get
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Mac Jones a series or two with those guys after
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Trevor's had a chance at him. I don't know that,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: but it wouldn't supprize you if they sort of took
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: that tack.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: You know, if I go back to last year's third
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: preseason game, John, they did pull Trevor in the second quarter.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: He didn't go into the third, which.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Is, you know, kind of how you like to do
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: that last tune up before guys sit for a couple
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: of weeks. I wouldn't be surprised at all. In fact,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I think I would do it because he showed you
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: last week when he started what he's capable of. You
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: might as well get him some reps because if things
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: go right, he gets no reps with the ones the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: rest of the way.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: With the end of the preseason coming up, that means
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be looking at final roster cuts. So our
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: second big thing today is gonna be the fifty three.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: That fifty three man roster cut down is on Tuesday
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: at four pm, John, I think most of it's probably
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: sat in stone at this point. But which group, if any,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: do you think will be the hardest decisions to make.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: On his It's it's tough because I think there's a
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: decision he made maybe six wide receiver deep.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Into the offensive and defensive lines.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: But the reality also these days is once you get
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: to that spot, then there's a high percentage chance that
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: these guys you are gonna be on the practice squad
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: and coming in and off the roster.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: So I'm not trying to avoid the question.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: I just don't think as much about that hard fifty
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: three as maybe I did in nineteen ninety nine, when
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: when you shook these guys' hands, you were saying goodbye
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: to him. Now you're saying, hey, we'll see you next week.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: And you know you're not making as much money as
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: you were, but you're so doing okay.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Yes, So.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: I do think Brian, that the offensive line has some
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: interesting decisions on who they keep, who they try to develop,
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: who they have to protect.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: I think those are the decisions.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Who are you going to let go and can we
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: get these guys back.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I'll give you two names that I think will be difficult.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: One is Juvon Foster, the fourth round pick from Massou,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: who has looked good on the training camp field and
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: has played well at times, but probably not ready to
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: help you. However, if you try to move him off
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the roster and get him to the practice squad, you
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: risk losing him and big guys with potential, and I
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: think I've mentioned my conversation with Tony Biselli about him
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: three or four times, where BISSELLI was really impressed with
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: his feet, and that says something. Big guys with potential,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: especially on the offensive line, they're hard to get to
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the practice squad and they're hard to keep on the
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: practice squad. The other is Jordan Jefferson. We didn't see
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: enough from the young defensive tackle from LSU over the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: course of camp because he wasn't healthy. But last week
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: in the game against the Buccaneers, he flashed. He made
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: a couple of plays. Again, big guys with potential don't
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: last on the practice squad. Well, that means maybe you're
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: trying to keep nine defensive linemen and ten offensive linemen.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Those two guys right there, at least to my way
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: of thinking, could complicate the conversations when they get into
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: those meetings early next week.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd be surprised, kay, if those two aren't on
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: the team. I've heard that, but I'd be surprised for
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: the very reasons Brian said. If you exposed von Foster
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: fourth round pick, with that kind of size and ability,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: he'll be gone in five minutes.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Let me complicate things a little further with our final
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: big thing, which is additions. Now, Brian, you talked a
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: little bit about what they're going to do with the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: young guys, but also when other teams are cutting down
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: their fifty three, that means other people are going to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: be available. Do you think there's a position group of
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: need that maybe the Jaguars are gonna be looking at
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to try to grab somebody off the wave of wire,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you know it.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: To be honest with you, I don't. I think the
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: obvious would be, well, you always want more pass rush.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: But let's be honest.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: When they cut players, they're not cutting players who rush
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the passer really well. They're not letting those guys go.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: And you signed a guy Trevis Gibson, who had been
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: with Bill Shoeley in the past, to be your third
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: pass rusher. You're not gonna go gamble on somebody that
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks or Cardinals or Patriots let go just because
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you didn't quite see enough and you think maybe this
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: guy might be an upgrade. Those guys aren't sitting out there.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: So I'll be honest with you, I think this roster
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: is in really good shape. You'd like these young guys
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: to develop, and I don't think i'd go bring anybody
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: in unless unless it was just absolutely a shocking name.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you might see it at one spot. I can't
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: even tell you what spot it would be because I
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: feel like what Trevor said yesterday.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Is the deepest team.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: This group mean, Trent Doug Trevor, that bunch has had here,
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: so no position stands out as hey, they need to
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: go get this. And there's a reality these days. I
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: think we talked about in the show that teams are
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: developing their guys, and they spend so much time during
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: the off season developing their guys that they get them
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: in their system. I don't think you'll see the Jaguars
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: go after guys on other teams if they're even close
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: to the guys they've already developed, because they know these
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: guys here, So I don't expect too much movement on
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: that front on Tuesday into Wednesday next week.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Stay with us here on JAGSA. I'm coming up after
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the break. We'll hear but from QB one as we
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: get ready to take on the Falcons. Jag Zam brought
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to you by Field's Auto, Jacksonville's premier luxury auto group.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Go to Fieldsauto dot com. Welcome back in with us.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: We're getting ready for the final preseason game of the year.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be in Atlanta. We head out today a
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: little over twenty four hours until kickoff. And you heard
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: from QB one yesterday Trevor kind of discussing I know
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you guys alluded to this already, but he said this
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: is one of the most talented rosters that he's played with.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: This is the most talented team for sure since since
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: I've been here, that we've had, and I think you
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: guys that watch it every day could probably say that
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: as well. So I feel really good. Obviously, that doesn't
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: win you the games, though. You got to go out
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: and play well and execute and put your best foot
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: forward every Sunday and keep your and stay focused on
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: the main goal is to go out there every series,
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: every play and go earn it. But as far as
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: a talent depth standpoint, I think this is the best
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: team we've had, definitely since I've been here.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: John a lot of talent on the team, but doesn't
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: mean anything if they don't go out and win. So
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: how much pressure does this put on the situation? Obviously
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: it's his fourth year here and kind of progressing every year,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: but now it's kind of expected with expectation.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: I think there was gonna be pressure anyway with from
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: outside with the contract, with the fourth year thing that
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: I think I'm assuming his thought is, well, it's gonna
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: be pressure. I may as well have of you know,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: the guys to go do it with that I trust
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: and believe in. And I get the feeling. And I
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: haven't had a chance to talk to him about this,
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: but I'm not even sure he would be honest, because
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: you don't insult the past stuff. But I think he
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: looks around and sees Gabe Davis, Brian Thomas Junior coming on,
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Christian Parker Washington, Evan Ingram, Tank Bigsby, Travis Etn. This
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: feels like a group the twenty two team was really
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: going at the end, and that receiver group meshed and
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: you feel like they had something. But I think he
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: looks around and says, this is the best bunch of
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: skill guys, and not to leave the offensive line out
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: of just saying that bunch. I get the feeling the
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: receivers are gonna mesh, and I think they're excited about
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: what that might be in three or four weeks.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: You know, just to go a little deeper on that.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: There are also some guys like Deandis Johnson who has
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: a role, you know, who at times has been impactful.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: And I keep hearing that at some point when Kilan
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Robinson gets on and he's been struggling with the toe injury.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: He's the same thing.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: And then Brenton Strangers had a pretty good camp and
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: he's a guy there are just those were guys that
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: were always, you know, key backups like number two's and
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: now you're looking down and going well number three sor
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: if the guy's injured, they've got real depth here. But
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: it does all come back to him. As I look
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: at the roster, I think it's really good. I think
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: they've done a nice job putting the pieces together. And
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: it's on the quarterback.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: It is, and it's also going to be on the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: excuse me, offensive line. Because we've talked about them a bunch.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: This is the first time we'll see all five of
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: them together. Trevor talked about that.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: Definitely, just everybody, I mean, especially the guys up front
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: and feel in the pocket and get that's you know,
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: because I don't get hit out here and there it's
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: in the game. It's a different sense of urgency as
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: far as my time clock getting the ball out and
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: also just seeing different pressures and stuff, because there's sometimes
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: in practice you'll get you you'll get beat on a
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: pressure like I don't see it, and they bring they
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: make us hot, and in practice it's like I'm hot
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: in the game. It's like I gotta get out. I'm
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: gonna get smoked if I don't get out of here.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: So all those different things, it just feels different. So
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: I think it's good to have your starting line and
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: to feel the pocket and to move around and kind
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: of test some of your protections as well, Like you
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: do some new stuff and you want to see how
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: it holds up against the live Look.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Right, this first time we're going to see that starting
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: offensive five together playing with each other. Trevor got banged
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: up at the end of last year. Some of that's
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: his own fault for running around.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: But I'm focused on left tackle. I'm focused on a
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: left tackle because Walker Little last year gave up the
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: pressure in the Cincinnati game on which he hurt his ankle,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: and at the season finale, Cam Robinson, just be honest,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: was horrible against arden Key. He just had a terrible day.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: These are guys who are highly paid, who are great
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: athletes and capable of playing at a very high level.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: If Trevor is going to be able to stand in
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: the pocket this year, that left tackle is going to
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: have to stand up. And both of these are guys
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: who are in important years for them right because it's
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the last year of each of their contracts.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: So left tackle.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: I know everyone's focused on center and left, right guard
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: or even left guard, but left tackle, to me is
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: where I'm going to focus my attention tomorrow night and
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: then early in the season because they have two very
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: good left tackles who at times did not play very
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: good last year and they need them to.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: There's a lot to choose from.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, a part of me thinks, you know, we've
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: talked about the offensive line so much for a year
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: that I just kind of want to shut up and
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: watch them on Friday. But you know, I think it's
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: fair to watch the interior. They signed Mitch Morse, but
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Brandon Sheriff has been hurt most of the time he's
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: been here. Ezra Cleveland's new, and the interior is at
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: the topic last year. I have faith that I have
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: seen these two right and left tackles play at a
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: high enough level.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: They know that I know they can do it.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: I haven't seen this interior bunch play together and do
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: what they need to do, So that's.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: What I'll be watching.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: How long does it take to get that down? I mean,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: they talk about it being so important and we haven't
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: seen them all together. So is one game gonna do it?
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Or is it gonna be in the season. They're figuring
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: it out.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Probably degrees. I mean I I I I I.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Even Mitch Morris, when he spoke to the media a
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: couple of weeks back, talked about how difficult it is
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: for an offensive line and the way you prepare it
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: in the NFL these days because you don't have a
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: lot of contact situations, and he even Press Taylor's talked
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: about it on the podium a couple of times.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: You just can't judge what they do until.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: You see them going live, full contact, and that's where
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: you get chemistry. So you hope they're okay to start
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: and then a lot better at the end.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: If they all play close to their potential, it'd be
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: a really good offensive line, but we won't know that.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: And then you've got Mitch Morse in the middle of it,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: who's was brought in to be a leader as well
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: as you know, a road grader upfront, and he's got
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: to figure out and he has to be in the
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: live bullets to figure that out.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: We're gonna see it all in action on Friday night
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: against Atlanta. Say with us here on Jagsam, we get
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: ready to tell you who we're looking at as key
• 12:58

  Speaker 1: this game?
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Brand look at a chat Muma because the move to
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: the strong side backer. He was an inside backer in
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the three to four scheme and in Ryan Nielsen's new scheme,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: he's a four to three and Pier is well suited
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: for the guy who plays up on the line of scrimmage.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: And I think he will continue to make his case
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: for it in his third season. It won't be a
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: given though, because your sir of Doulah is also making
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: a transition right. He was more of an edge rusher
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: outside linebacker in the job Allen Mold last year as
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: a rookie, because that's what he did at Louisville. But
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: he was on the line of scrimmage last week, made
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: a nice job to shed the tackle and duck in
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: underneath and make the play on the running back at
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage. And he's a guy who's really
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: starting to grasp what they want him to do on
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the strong side. But I think Chad Mumma might be
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: in a position to really have an impactful year. He
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: is a sure tackler as you just saw right there,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: and is a guy who has a lot of I
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: say this to people, go I can't make a comparison,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: but he has a lot of the puzz lesniy traits
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: in terms of his the way that he studies the game,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: the way that he understands where to be. He gets
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: the most out of his ability because of his work
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: ethic and Paul pus Leslie did that so masterfully, always
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: put himself in a position to make a play. And
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: I see a lot of those traits again, traits not
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: saying he's Gulfos Lesnie. It's not a comparison, it's just
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: looking and being able to see a.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Couple of traits, thank you, compared to pause.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: But I think he would not be listening to me though.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: He mom is interesting because when you watched him in college,
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: and you can't compare his level in college that he
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: played against the NFL.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: But there were traits.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: As Brian said, this guy ran, he hit, He made
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: big time speed athletic plays that hasn't really shown up
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: in the NFL. And I guess he's playing against faster competition.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: But I expected more flash the first two years. We've
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: seen that a little more now. So you get the
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: idea that you know, some guys when they come into
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: the league, he say, well, scheme fit, and that's not
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: really what it is. They just can't play with him.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: You think, well, maybe he fits this scheme. And I'm
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: with Brian. I think he could be an interesting guy
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: this season.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: He told me on on What Is Today?
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: He told me on Tuesday that he really thinks that
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: that sam linebacker spot, that strong side outside linebacker spot
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: is what fits him best.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: I went with Gabe Davis and he will on Friday,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: I think he'll make a play every time there's been
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: a big moment situation in the preseason. Between preseason games
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: and a couple of practices, it seems like Trevor gets
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: him the ball in situations and he makes a play.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: He had a couple of.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: The nicest gain translatable receptions in practice during training camp
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: that I remember, So I think he, you know, he
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: won't get to show everything that he can do. Trevor
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: talked about this week that Trevor thinks he has a
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: lot more in him than he showed in Buffalo, a
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: lot more versatility, and so I don't think he'll get
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: a chance to show all that. But I was thinking
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: about that this week with Gabe, that he might be
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: the most important piece of this offense in the sense
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: that you sort of know what you think Brian Thomas
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: is gonna give you, you know what Christian Kirschman give you.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Evan Ingram Travis ETN.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: I think people don't quite know to expect from Gay
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: to think he's a deep ball guy because he had
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: the big yards per reception in Buffalo.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: They seem to think that he can be.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: A lot more versatile and a lot more involved in
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: all of it. So he's very interesting to me as
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: the season starts, how he's gonna look and how he's
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: gonna matter to this offense.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: He is as fearless a guy in the middle of
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: the field as I have seen around here in a
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: long time. He reminds me in that respect to make
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: a comparison to Keenan McCardell.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Who pausing. Keenan, yeah, all coming back here, who never never.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Shied away from the middle of the field. And I
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: watched him a couple of routes this week go right
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: through the middle. I mean right where guys get el
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: caboond and not down and made great catches and run
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: after the catch. So he's not just looking to get
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: the ball and get down, He's looking to get up
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: the field. He's a complete receiver.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Well, first, nobody wants to get all Cabald and second,
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: as you know, Brian, the keen of comparison is interesting
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: because when Keenan came in, he had a little bit
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: of a name, and he had been good in Cleveland
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: but hadn't reached great. So Gabe Davis might be the
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: same kind of opportunity where you find your fit at
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: your next franchise.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Very exciting.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the defensive side of the ball
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: for me, I'm gonna do Darnell Savage, he will play
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: in this game. We haven't seen him in action yet
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: because he's been wearing that red non contact jersey, but
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: he got that off this week and so he won't
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: look lost out there because he has been practicing with
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the team all through training camp, just wasn't tackling people
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: to the ground. He very well might be one of
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: those players that has an eye for the ball. Obviously
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: he saw Darius Williams with a lot of interceptions last year.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Darnell Savage kind of along those lines in the sense
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: that he was talking earlier this week calling it a
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: dynamic defense. He feels like there's a lot of playmakers
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, and the way
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: that Ryan Nielsen is scheming things up, it allows each
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: player to kind of play played a role in the defense,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: but also have a little bit of autonomy as well,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: so leaving the way for something like that to come about.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: And I'm excited to see this full defense in action,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: whether it ends up being in this preseason game or
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Week one, I'm just excited to see exactly how everything
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: pans out.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: I think they're excited to see Savage too, because they
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: signed him. He has the ability. It was described to
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: me by Dave Campbell, the former Dallas Cowboys head coach
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: who now works in the media locally, that there aren't
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of guys who can play the nickel man
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: or zone. That it's just not as easy. One guy
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: can do one thing well, another guy can do the
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: other thing well. But the word on Savage is zone
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: or man in the middle. He is comfortable and confident,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: and if that's the case, they have a really interesting
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: chess piece to move around the board.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I couldn't agree more.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: He's sort of the guy much like Gabe Davis, who
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: I talked about a second ago. Savage during training camp
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: has and even in the off season a little bit
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: sort of the overlooked edition. Feels like people talk about Tyson,
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: talk about Garon Jones, they talk about Ronald Darby and
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: not really factoring in that they believe that they brought
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: in a piece and Savage who makes them a much
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: better secondary than they were. I've kind of been guilty
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: of overlooking it because he's been in the Red Jersey,
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: so you don't talk about him. But if if he's
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: what they think, they have a lot of conference in Derby,
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Daryon Jones, Tyson. They think they're really good in a
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: lot of spots Sisca. If he's what they think, then
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of high end guys back there.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: They're exciting. Alright, stay with us. We're gonna preview what's
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: going on the rest of the weekend, what's coming out
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: after the final preseason game. Jags fans want customized Jaguarts

  Speaker 6: I ain't got that Gatoray in him. I'm a new man.
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: Now I'm aunt him or now I'm back. They could
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: throw me in the dirt. They could throw us in
• 20:46

• 20:49

• 21:07
  Speaker 1: extras and micd Up. Those are all on Jaguars dot

  Speaker 1: of The Hunt is gonna come out week one, I believe.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we have a set date yet,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: but it'll be out before the season opener against Miami.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: You just follow up on Savage.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Really nice part about Savage is they don't have to
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: rush Joey and Jones in the right talented guy. They
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: can bring him along that can find a role for
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: him and he'll learn a lot playing with a guy
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: like Savage.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm excited about this rookie class. And I usually
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: don't say that, but when you take Brian Thomas Junior,
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Mason Smith, Jaran Jones, Mason Smith, Cam Little, it's uh
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: has a chance to make a really impact.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Mason Smith and Cam Little the odd couple there, but
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: their best bads.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: I love it. That's really Is that true? Yeah? I
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: didn't know that. Oh yeah, it's very good.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Check out miked up and you'll see it.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Mason Smith is so big and Cam Little is just
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: the most so small.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Well, I just want to say, he.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Looks like a normal human being, right, Sure, he looks
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: like a guy that you're gonna see on a college campus.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Absolutely well. We love a dynamic too, so check that out.
• 22:06
