Speaker 8: the rest of the group's down on the field sweat
1:12
Speaker 8: nice shady spot.
1:13
Speaker 7: Well, you know, we gotta keep nice and cool and
1:15
Speaker 7: got to protect our skin from the sun.
1:18
Speaker 2: I see that, James Gladstone.
1:21
Speaker 7: You know it's actually the one place you can see
1:23
Speaker 7: everything too. Is the benefit?
1:25
Speaker 2: You definitely have a Yeah, nice, pretty nice?
1:29
Speaker 3: All right, fellas scrimmage today, yep, coming out of it.
1:34
Speaker 3: What's the feeling after the two hour or so workout today?
1:37
Speaker 4: James Stilling a spot where I think the identity of
1:40
Speaker 4: this football team is showing itself, starting to take shape.
1:44
Speaker 4: And I think with every one of these competitive settings,
1:48
Speaker 4: we get a chance to continue to see that come
1:50
Speaker 4: to life. And now we get a chance to to
1:53
Speaker 4: step away from just doing it against ourselves yet again
1:56
Speaker 4: and take the road, take the show on the road
1:57
Speaker 4: to New Orleans and do that in an entirely different setting. Right,
2:02
Speaker 4: We're gonna be on turf for the first time, going
2:04
Speaker 4: to be indoors, So all that stuff is, you know,
2:08
Speaker 4: an opportunity, just like it was this past weekend, to
2:11
Speaker 4: you know, practice a few of the things that we
2:13
Speaker 4: want to sort of implement here in the early going
2:16
Speaker 4: and see how it shows itself, see how guys work
2:19
Speaker 4: together or not, and then take steps forward from there.
2:23
Speaker 2: Yeah.
2:24
Speaker 7: I mean, I think in any situation, any practice, and
2:27
Speaker 7: this was obviously heavy on the team side, very similar
2:31
Speaker 7: to the scrimmage we had in the stadium a week ago.
2:34
Speaker 5: There's always good and bad.
2:35
Speaker 7: I mean, there's stuff that you really like you see
2:37
Speaker 7: in the physicality, and I thought our defense showed up
2:41
Speaker 7: at certain times and you could feel them seeing Dennis
2:44
Speaker 7: Gardek out there and some of the new guys that
2:47
Speaker 7: we've brought in and some of the guys who've been
2:49
Speaker 7: here like really step up their game from the physical standpoint.
2:53
Speaker 7: O Well, I thought the first drive by the offense,
2:56
Speaker 7: you know, very efficient operations look good. At the same time,
3:00
Speaker 7: there's things that you got to clean up otherwise you're
3:02
Speaker 7: gonna lose football games. And I think one of the
3:04
Speaker 7: things that we have to clean up. The head coach
3:06
Speaker 7: has been preaching it and has been holding the line
3:11
Speaker 7: with everybody is the pre snap penalties and and kind
3:14
Speaker 7: of the stuff that you can control before the ball
3:17
Speaker 7: is snapped. You know, listen there's gonna be penalties in
3:20
Speaker 7: the game. People are gonna hold. You know, you never
3:23
Speaker 7: held though I never helped, never, even when I got
3:26
Speaker 7: called for it.
3:28
Speaker 2: You just had hands that a face like every other play.
3:30
Speaker 7: It was not called back then, so I used it
3:32
Speaker 7: to my advantage. And so but those are things you
3:37
Speaker 7: can control the metal side. And I think one of
3:40
Speaker 7: the things is when you get in competitive environments and
3:43
Speaker 7: you ramp it up, those things start to show up.
3:46
Speaker 7: And so that's a concern and that's something that you
3:50
Speaker 7: have to clean up because I think one of the
3:52
Speaker 7: things in the NFL you want to do is you
3:53
Speaker 7: never want to lose the game or lose the down
3:58
Speaker 7: before it even starts. And you know the old saying,
4:01
Speaker 7: don't beat yourself. You we're gonna play seventeen games, and
4:04
Speaker 7: we're gonna play good football teams. And we've said this
4:07
Speaker 7: a couple of times. You know, we want to go
4:09
Speaker 7: seventeen to zero, obviously, but you know, teams are gonna
4:12
Speaker 7: play better than you sometimes and they're gonna make one
4:14
Speaker 7: more play and get you know, one more point on
4:17
Speaker 7: the scoreboard. And that's part of competing in any situation.
4:21
Speaker 5: But as a player, as a coach.
4:23
Speaker 7: As an organization, what we don't want to do is
4:26
Speaker 7: help the other guys win games where you lose, lose
4:30
Speaker 7: it down, lose a game, throw away a series, whatever
4:34
Speaker 7: the situation is because of mental errors, things that you
4:38
Speaker 7: can control. And I think when you get tired, camp
4:40
Speaker 7: gets long, it gets competitive, and those things start popping up,
4:45
Speaker 7: that's when you have to say, Okay, we got a
4:47
Speaker 7: lot of work still do, and thankfully we got we've
4:48
Speaker 7: still got time, plenty of time, and it's a it's
4:51
Speaker 7: a process, and we just got to get back to
4:53
Speaker 7: work tomorrow.
4:53
Speaker 8: Well and kind of alone life Starry James below those
4:56
Speaker 8: lines of taking care of your business so that you
4:59
Speaker 8: do not hurting yourself the self inflicted wounds. Go to
5:04
Speaker 8: the defense against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a little lake getting
5:07
Speaker 8: lined up and a lot of talk about getting the
5:09
Speaker 8: cleats in the ground, and I thought that was another
5:12
Speaker 8: example of how you can help yourself out. But what
5:15
Speaker 8: I loved about today's scrimmage is that as a coaching staff,
5:19
Speaker 8: you admit where you messed up, and you recognize where
5:22
Speaker 8: you messed up, and you go to correct it. And
5:25
Speaker 8: today you've got simulation kind of going on of games
5:29
Speaker 8: to help correct that whole process of communicating the call
5:33
Speaker 8: to the defense and getting lined up worked on it
5:36
Speaker 8: all week. To me as an analyst, I sat there
5:41
Speaker 8: and saw that and I said, that's what you got
5:43
Speaker 8: to have.
5:43
Speaker 2: Good job.
5:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's got to be addressed, right, it can't just
5:47
Speaker 4: be something that you identify. It's actually got to be
5:50
Speaker 4: followed up with some actionable items off of it, some
5:52
Speaker 4: tangible items off of it. And so much of this window, right,
5:56
Speaker 4: we're in the preseason window. We're collecting information. It's not
6:00
Speaker 4: just about the performance, it's about the response, right, how
6:04
Speaker 4: well do we collectively respond, how well the individuals respond,
6:08
Speaker 4: And that's such an important piece because it's never all
6:12
Speaker 4: going to go well, and so when things go poorly,
6:17
Speaker 4: are we going to be able to bend not break?
6:20
Speaker 4: And those sorts of things are what you're working through
6:22
Speaker 4: and looking to identify whether or not we have the
6:26
Speaker 4: right group who can withstand those moments when it's not
6:30
Speaker 4: all perfect.
6:32
Speaker 8: And per question for you, James, you know when you
6:35
Speaker 8: have players that come in and for me, as you know,
6:38
Speaker 8: the analysts, talking head kind of person. You know, you
6:41
Speaker 8: watch a lot of guys, you watch them on film
6:43
Speaker 8: and you kind of have this preconceived notion about a
6:46
Speaker 8: lot of guys, but then when you get them in
6:48
Speaker 8: the building and you get them on the grass, sometimes
6:50
Speaker 8: they show you maybe some other skills and other talents
6:54
Speaker 8: that they have. Are they're players that you're seeing other
6:57
Speaker 8: abilities that maybe you didn't know that. Maybe you could
7:02
Speaker 8: sit there and as a general manager go, you know
7:04
Speaker 8: what my thinking was about this guy was for this position,
7:08
Speaker 8: but you know, maybe he can help us here.
7:10
Speaker 6: Yeah.
7:11
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think that has shown itself certainly throughout the
7:15
Speaker 4: course of the off season program. Every one of us
7:18
Speaker 4: who was on the outside looking in last year and
7:21
Speaker 4: was interviewing for these jobs that we now hold had
7:25
Speaker 4: an idea of what we thought of the group collectively
7:29
Speaker 4: side of ball individuals within position groups, and there have
7:32
Speaker 4: definitely been pleasant surprises or wow, I didn't see that
7:37
Speaker 4: part of who that person is or this position group is.
7:40
Speaker 4: And that's been a pleasant part of this all. And
7:42
Speaker 4: it's the discovery phase. And like I said, we're still
7:47
Speaker 4: discovering the identity of this football team. And you know,
7:50
Speaker 4: I think as those parts all come together, it'll be
7:53
Speaker 4: become pretty vivid here early in the season for us.
7:56
Speaker 6: But at the same time, we got.
7:57
Speaker 4: To get tested, We got to be stressed and see
8:01
Speaker 4: how how we face those stressful situations, because that's really
8:04
Speaker 4: where the true colors show. And that's really what I'm
8:07
Speaker 4: looking forward to, any of these competitive settings that we
8:09
Speaker 4: can produce, knowing that ultimately it's not until Week one
8:13
Speaker 4: versus Carolina that they actually count to the win loss column.
8:18
Speaker 6: We're going to try and take advantage.
8:19
Speaker 4: Of them and make it so that any what might
8:22
Speaker 4: be labeled as a failure doesn't actually act as a
8:25
Speaker 4: failure but a lesson and things that we can apply
8:28
Speaker 4: lessons moving forward.
8:30
Speaker 3: James Gladstone, Tony Bisselli with us. It is the Liam
8:33
Speaker 3: Cohen Show, presented by Fresh from Florida. All Right, all
8:36
Speaker 3: of Duval's wondering how the emotions were in the suite
8:40
Speaker 3: game one.
8:43
Speaker 6: How well, I can tell you this.
8:44
Speaker 4: When that kick went through the uprights, Yeah, there's no
8:49
Speaker 4: doubt it makes it.
8:50
Speaker 6: You know, folks got to be on notice. All we
8:52
Speaker 6: got to do is get it to the fifty.
8:54
Speaker 2: You know.
8:56
Speaker 4: But I will say that's not a It's interesting when
8:59
Speaker 4: you when you think about end of half, right, it's
9:02
Speaker 4: it's a more suitable time to give that a go
9:05
Speaker 4: than maybe first quarter or things like that.
9:08
Speaker 2: Oh, you got to have the perfect circumstance.
9:09
Speaker 5: That's right, because if you miss that, they're in point play.
9:14
Speaker 6: That's right, that's right.
9:15
Speaker 2: Yeah.
9:16
Speaker 8: The other thing too, I think that and I brought
9:19
Speaker 8: this up earlier in the week, is that everybody's celebrating
9:21
Speaker 8: the seventy yard kick, but let's not forget what.
9:25
Speaker 2: Happened on the situation to.
9:27
Speaker 8: That by thirty three and catching a little dump off
9:29
Speaker 8: and making a great catch that was behind him and
9:32
Speaker 8: then turning around having a guy on him. He made
9:34
Speaker 8: that guy miss and then plowed four to hit for
9:37
Speaker 8: a thirteen yard game, and then has the wherewithal to
9:39
Speaker 8: get down on a third down place for a game
9:41
Speaker 8: of four and still have a second left on the
9:43
Speaker 8: clock to be able to make the kick. I mean, look,
9:46
Speaker 8: I thought that was really impressive by baseial tooting in
9:49
Speaker 8: that game.
9:49
Speaker 4: You know what that's so that is with explicit intent.
9:52
Speaker 4: There are segments throughout each week that our coaching staff
9:55
Speaker 4: puts together that is specifically focused on situational masters and
10:00
Speaker 4: obviously that that type of stuff is prepped in advanced
10:03
Speaker 4: but extremely well executed in the moment. And that's what
10:06
Speaker 4: you like to see, Right, Tony was talking about, Hey,
10:09
Speaker 4: we got to clean up pre snap penalties, But there
10:12
Speaker 4: are plenty of instances where high level situational mastery has
10:16
Speaker 4: shown itself and that stuff's got to be praised. But
10:21
Speaker 4: we're looking for that to be the case on an
10:23
Speaker 4: overwhelming consistent basis, right, And again, perfection is hard to
10:28
Speaker 4: actually get to, but that's something we're seeking and and
10:32
Speaker 4: so we'll always look to be better than we were.
10:35
Speaker 4: But that is a great moment and great layer to
10:38
Speaker 4: identify as a part of that lead up to a
10:41
Speaker 4: historic kick, but certainly a big part of.
10:46
Speaker 6: Historic preseason kick history.
10:52
Speaker 7: You can say whatever you want about it. With seventy
10:53
Speaker 7: yards and I've never seen it before.
10:55
Speaker 2: I heard he's kicked one in practice, right.
10:59
Speaker 7: And the ota is I think it was seventy two
11:00
Speaker 7: or seventy three, And it actually made it easier. I
11:04
Speaker 7: thought when he hit it, I thought it was spinning
11:07
Speaker 7: too much of the seventy yarder. I'm like, God, it's
11:09
Speaker 7: gonna be a little short. And so I don't think
11:12
Speaker 7: he hit that as clean as he can hit it.
11:15
Speaker 8: I mean, oh my god, my god, I SHO would
11:17
Speaker 8: have hit a ninety I mean my point is, that's
11:22
Speaker 8: how big a leg he has.
11:24
Speaker 7: But it's interesting, and this is the competitive spirit that
11:27
Speaker 7: we want here. You look at Cam Little, amazing kick,
11:32
Speaker 7: but there's things he can clean up like. So whether
11:35
Speaker 7: it's the guys who do great things like Cam Little,
11:38
Speaker 7: there's things that hey, he can clean up like. It
11:42
Speaker 7: wasn't perfect, and so that's great. Hey, let's celebrate what
11:46
Speaker 7: we do well. We talked about the situational masters. That's
11:48
Speaker 7: big time. That's taking exactly what our coaching staff is
11:52
Speaker 7: teaching in the meeting room, practicing on the grass translating
11:56
Speaker 7: to success on the field. Boy, it doesn't get better.
11:58
Speaker 7: That gets you excited. At the same time, you never
12:02
Speaker 7: want to get comfortable and say, okay, we got this. Okay,
12:04
Speaker 7: look at how great that was. You got to have
12:07
Speaker 7: the same You have to have the same excitement of
12:12
Speaker 7: correcting the mistakes, the same competitive spirit, the saying, hey,
12:17
Speaker 7: this isn't good enough. And one of the things that
12:19
Speaker 7: I really appreciate about our coaching staff, and I give
12:21
Speaker 7: the players credit their approach on the field. I mean,
12:25
Speaker 7: it wasn't perfect today, but those guys practice hard, they're physical,
12:30
Speaker 7: and so seeing them understand what is being asked of
12:33
Speaker 7: them and then going on the grass and trying to
12:36
Speaker 7: reproduce where we talk about the meetings, what has preached
12:39
Speaker 7: the standard, and it's just an ongoing process that we
12:42
Speaker 7: got to continue to attack day in and day out.
12:45
Speaker 5: And you know, and even when we kick it off
12:47
Speaker 5: in the regular season, we're not done. I mean, it's
12:50
Speaker 5: a long season.
12:51
Speaker 7: You know. You keep on keep on working, keep on
12:53
Speaker 7: getting better, and we'll see where we end up at
12:55
Speaker 7: the end.
12:56
Speaker 2: We'll come back in a moment. We'll get in the
12:58
Speaker 2: trenches where Tony likes to.
13:00
Speaker 5: Well, let's go games one Jay.
13:02
Speaker 8: Well, before we do, though, I got a question for
13:05
Speaker 8: him about this whole kicking operation.
13:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, goes Eric. Hurry, there's a little tibbot. We'll do
13:09
Speaker 2: it after it.
13:10
Speaker 7: Oh okay, yeah, tipping kicking operation. I'm an expert at
13:13
Speaker 7: the kicking operation. I've studied it deeply.
13:16
Speaker 2: You're an expert at most things. Just ask you.
13:18

14:02

14:04
Speaker 3: to sit here. See what they say.
14:06
Speaker 2: I know exactly what they say. That won't go so well.
14:09
Speaker 3: No, probably not. I got one more thing, and I
14:12
Speaker 3: got a question about the whole kicking operation.
14:17
Speaker 8: I heard that that you guys have that system thing
14:22
Speaker 8: or whatever it is the golf.
14:23
Speaker 2: What is it called?
14:24
Speaker 5: It's called track man, Okay, it kind of.
14:30
Speaker 8: Okay, so golf, you know the golf channel when you
14:32
Speaker 8: watch ball, speed, angle.
14:35
Speaker 2: Et cetera. That what is what is this thing that
14:38
Speaker 2: you guys have when this and what is the inside
14:43
Speaker 2: joke here that I'm missing?
14:45
Speaker 5: Tony has studied this.
14:47
Speaker 2: You are all in on this.
14:49
Speaker 7: Yes, we currently have a track manas track man track
14:55
Speaker 7: man is in golf. They use it to check launch angle,
14:59
Speaker 7: spin rate, so you can dial in the clubs to
15:03
Speaker 7: lower the spin on the driver because that keeps it straighter,
15:07
Speaker 7: the proper launch angle. So what kind of shaft you
15:09
Speaker 7: have at everything, so to maximize distance. And then each
15:12
Speaker 7: club has a spin rate. So if you translate that
15:15
Speaker 7: to the kicking game, a kicker, there's a launch angle
15:19
Speaker 7: that you want to optimize based on distance and everything else.
15:22
Speaker 7: Obviously the seventy yarder came out much lower because you're
15:25
Speaker 7: trying to drive that ball compared to an extra point,
15:29
Speaker 7: and then the spin rate of the ball impacts how
15:32
Speaker 7: far it will travel as well.
15:34
Speaker 2: Spinning faster goes farther.
15:36
Speaker 7: I think actually spinning faster goes shorter. If I'm not mistake,
15:40
Speaker 7: I don't know that part. Yeah, but I'm just saying
15:43
Speaker 7: I don't know.
15:43
Speaker 2: It's one of the other.
15:44
Speaker 8: It's one of the other James has for those on
15:48
Speaker 8: radio right.
15:49
Speaker 2: Now, and so.
15:52
Speaker 7: Last year cam Little used that to dial in some
15:56
Speaker 7: certain things just his own how he used it, his
16:00
Speaker 7: eactly what he was looking for not exactly sure, but.
16:05
Speaker 5: They did use it.
16:06
Speaker 2: Okay, So James, would you care to fill in the blanks?
16:08
Speaker 5: He has no blanks to fill in well.
16:13
Speaker 6: Because we got so close just so.
16:16
Speaker 4: Yes, he's got something to say about just about it.
16:18
Speaker 4: He's an expert, subject matter expert on just about everything,
16:22
Speaker 4: pretty much heat for the first So he just before this,
16:25
Speaker 4: he walked into my office, didn't say a word for
16:29
Speaker 4: two and a half minutes, just started writing on the
16:31
Speaker 4: board everything he would have said, and walked out.
16:35
Speaker 6: I'm like, holy cow.
16:38
Speaker 5: Then he said, I wish you'd do this more often.
16:42
Speaker 6: No words needed.
16:44
Speaker 3: James Gladstone with us. All right, let's go from the
16:48
Speaker 3: kicking game, which is important, yeah, to the trenches, which
16:51
Speaker 3: is also important. Offensive line today, there's guy's moving all
16:55
Speaker 3: over the place. Anton Harrison leaves practice. I mean this
16:59
Speaker 3: is still work progress up front, guys, So where do
17:02
Speaker 3: you stand now going into preseason week two? A lot
17:04
Speaker 3: of guys flipping and flopping and playing both sides of
17:07
Speaker 3: the line here.
17:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, that position group on the whole has been a
17:11
Speaker 4: really positive piece to the puzzle. They're working well together
17:15
Speaker 4: and the moving one guy to another spot is all
17:19
Speaker 4: part of the plan. In that look, that is a
17:22
Speaker 4: position that typically sees attrition more so than just about
17:27
Speaker 4: any and we got to be prepared for what happens
17:30
Speaker 4: if and so if you don't end up having a
17:33
Speaker 4: guy work in tandem with the one next to him,
17:35
Speaker 4: it can become problematic. It just becomes a slippery slope
17:39
Speaker 4: if that's not something you intentionally prepare for. And so
17:42
Speaker 4: that was something that was put into practice today. Oddly enough,
17:45
Speaker 4: Antim went down with a lower leg and he'll be fine.
17:49
Speaker 6: There's nothing significant there.
17:52
Speaker 4: But at the same time, we were able to adjust
17:55
Speaker 4: in real time and get guys some valuable reps just
17:57
Speaker 4: in case there's a scenario down the road where that
18:01
Speaker 4: presents itself. But as we peek back to what unfolded
18:04
Speaker 4: in PS one preseason one, I think one of the
18:07
Speaker 4: highlights obviously the seventy yarder was great, but something that
18:11
Speaker 4: really jumps out is Beasehall Tuton's touchdown and the fact
18:15
Speaker 4: that that wasn't just a single person. That was a
18:18
Speaker 4: representation of what football should be and that's who we
18:21
Speaker 4: want to be. You talk about I talk about the
18:23
Speaker 4: identity of this football team continuing to be developed in
18:27
Speaker 4: real time, and that was a view into what this
18:31
Speaker 4: could be. The entire offensive line getting in on that,
18:35
Speaker 4: the wide receivers doing their part. That was a phenomenal
18:40
Speaker 4: exposure into what could be. And just got to continue
18:43
Speaker 4: to stack those moments. But a really high moment from
18:47
Speaker 4: my vantished point was seeing that unfolding. Really the plays
18:50
Speaker 4: that preceded it. You got offensive linemen taking guys into
18:53
Speaker 4: the sideline on screens.
18:55
Speaker 6: Those areability. That's exactly right, that's exactly.
18:59
Speaker 4: Who talk about moving guys around. He played four different
19:02
Speaker 4: spots in that.
19:03
Speaker 2: Preseason game and plays them all.
19:04
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, so that was a Those are really high
19:07
Speaker 4: marks for sure, uh and certainly great to get guys
19:11
Speaker 4: to be able to play in multiple spots and feel
19:14
Speaker 4: comfortable enough to do it, because change that's a changing
19:16
Speaker 4: of stance from right side to the left side. That
19:18
Speaker 4: can that can screw you up a little bit. I
19:20
Speaker 4: don't say you got to get either side for him.
19:23
Speaker 4: I just I mean, that's I think pretty special.
19:25
Speaker 6: It is.
19:25
Speaker 4: It's not easy to do, uh, you know, but he
19:28
Speaker 4: certainly is kind of making it look that way right
19:30
Speaker 4: in some instances, and and to do it in game
19:33
Speaker 4: is really the the cool part. That is not an
19:36
Speaker 4: easy thing.
19:36
Speaker 2: Former teammate James.
19:38
Speaker 6: You know what he called that.
19:39
Speaker 8: He called that amphibious. Yeah, he was trying to figure
19:42
Speaker 8: the word.
19:45
Speaker 5: He's going to the water, amphibious in and out of
19:48
Speaker 5: the water. But pick it up on the line.
19:50
Speaker 7: Like in James talked about how that it was always
19:52
Speaker 7: the plan, not just coming into camp. I'll go all
19:56
Speaker 7: the way back to our free agency process led by
19:59
Speaker 7: James and his perspective and experiences at Los Angeles, and
20:03
Speaker 7: he articulated so well something I felt as an offensive
20:07
Speaker 7: lineman and probably couldn't articulate it at the time is
20:10
Speaker 7: having the depth because it's the one position group really
20:14
Speaker 7: on the offense, and all positions are important. But if
20:17
Speaker 7: your O line cannot be functional, the rest of the
20:20
Speaker 7: operation just does not work. I mean, it really handcuffs
20:26
Speaker 7: what you can do. And we go back to free agency.
20:30
Speaker 7: One of the things that why we were so drawn
20:32
Speaker 7: to Patrick McCarry was his versatility to play five different positions,
20:38
Speaker 7: and he had started and played significant snaps and you
20:42
Speaker 7: fast forward you look into the draft. A guy like
20:45
Speaker 7: Wyatt We felt like he was a guard but could
20:48
Speaker 7: play both guard and tackle. Joana Manheim played all five positions,
20:52
Speaker 7: start all five positions at USC and so having not
20:56
Speaker 7: only depth, but the versatility and the ability for guys
21:00
Speaker 7: to move spots helps you on game game day number
21:04
Speaker 7: one as you think about your active roster.
21:06
Speaker 5: And it came to life the first day of camp.
21:11
Speaker 7: Patrick McCarey was our right guard. I don't think very
21:16
Speaker 7: many snaps at all during OTAs did Tuma, a Dooba
21:19
Speaker 7: play guard. He was mainly at tackle. When carry gets hurt,
21:26
Speaker 7: insert Tuma and you don't miss a beat. You actually
21:29
Speaker 7: create a competitive situation. Now we sit two and a
21:33
Speaker 7: half three weeks into camp or Tuma and Patrick are
21:37
Speaker 7: fighting for that starting right guard spot because both are
21:40
Speaker 7: competing at a significant high.
21:43
Speaker 5: Like a good level, a level you feel comfortable with.
21:45
Speaker 7: So this plan, like as people see and I get
21:50
Speaker 7: questions on the field to day, it's like, hey, are
21:51
Speaker 7: you moving because of performance? This has been the plan.
21:54
Speaker 7: I wouldn't just say since camp about how we viewed
21:57
Speaker 7: the construction of this offensive line, and James did a
22:00
Speaker 7: great job of leading us and really highlighting that as
22:03
Speaker 7: we went into free agency and start looking at players
22:05
Speaker 7: in the draft and how we wanted to approach this.
22:07
Speaker 7: So having depth there is important, but also having guys
22:10
Speaker 7: that have the flexibility, the talent, the mental capacity to
22:14
Speaker 7: play multiple positions, because now we're asking guys that we're stressing,
22:17
Speaker 7: guys like a Chuma, like a Patrick McCarey, like a
22:21
Speaker 7: Wyatt Millan who's a rookie we've seen Joe and to
22:24
Speaker 7: play center, right guard, left guard, same practice, and to
22:28
Speaker 7: have the ability to do that and still operate at
22:31
Speaker 7: a level that we feel like is trending in the
22:34
Speaker 7: right direction and could become a starting level quality type
22:37
Speaker 7: of player. So I think it's the approach we've kind
22:41
Speaker 7: of believe in. It's been executed, and hopefully it continues
22:45
Speaker 7: to produce the fruit that we would like to see well.
22:49
Speaker 8: And part of this whole process of where you're at
22:52
Speaker 8: now is trying to figure out what that roster is
22:54
Speaker 8: going to look like. You know, the numbers game, so
22:57
Speaker 8: to speak, at each positions. Is that James, that you
23:01
Speaker 8: and Liam and Tony have talked about, about, Hey, look
23:03
Speaker 8: this position group, here's the number that we're looking at.
23:06
Speaker 8: Or does does the actual talent level at each position
23:10
Speaker 8: group impact that number of what you're going to keep?
23:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have your traditional numbers that are typically on
23:17
Speaker 4: the fifty three man roster. You give a little bit
23:20
Speaker 4: of flexibility saying, hey, this is a position we want
23:24
Speaker 4: to be deep at. This is a position we need
23:25
Speaker 4: to be deep at. It's one that has natural attrition.
23:30
Speaker 4: Or say hey, as an example, typically you carry ten
23:34
Speaker 4: defensive backs. How you split that up between corners and
23:37
Speaker 4: safeties can vary, can be six and four, can be
23:39
Speaker 4: five and five right, and dependent on the versatility of
23:44
Speaker 4: one of the players or multiple players within those position
23:46
Speaker 4: groups who can vacillate between the two right, So you
23:49
Speaker 4: have a little flexibility with that. How would you label yesterday?
23:55
Speaker 7: I was going to say, no, we've never talked about
23:57
Speaker 7: this and no conversations all. It's an extensive conversation. I
24:01
Speaker 7: think it's intensifying the closer we get to the moment,
24:05
Speaker 7: and it's a it's a conversation where you got to
24:09
Speaker 7: be honest, you got to be straightforward and listen you
24:14
Speaker 7: obviously the coaching is involved in this.
24:18
Speaker 5: I mean obviously the head coach.
24:19
Speaker 7: But you want perspective and it's all part of the process,
24:22
Speaker 7: and it's a continuous evaluation. So as you go through camp,
24:25
Speaker 7: I mean you have in your mind and as we
24:29
Speaker 7: go through it, you start doing your roster rankings and
24:31
Speaker 7: looking at it. But you have to have the flexibility
24:33
Speaker 7: and be agile in your own mind not to get
24:37
Speaker 7: rooted in what you see, especially early, and be okay
24:43
Speaker 7: of having the ability to change your mind because different
24:47
Speaker 7: data comes in, you see different things. The great saying
24:51
Speaker 7: that I don't want to quote the wrong coach who
24:53
Speaker 7: said this, but I've heard multiple people with.
24:59
Speaker 6: One that.
25:04
Speaker 7: People are allowed to get better, like players are allowed
25:07
Speaker 7: to get better, And I say, I think so often.
25:09
Speaker 7: What happens if you're not careful is you get rooted
25:13
Speaker 7: in a belief. You get rooted in I don't like
25:17
Speaker 7: this player, and then that clouds how you view them
25:21
Speaker 7: while all the time they're getting better. I catch myself
25:24
Speaker 7: doing it all the time.
25:26
Speaker 2: There's players that go the opposite way, too, And.
25:27
Speaker 7: There's players that you say, hey, maybe we drafted him here,
25:31
Speaker 7: or are we paying him this much money, or I
25:34
Speaker 7: really like them as an individual or whatever, and all
25:37
Speaker 7: of a sudden, you find yourself giving them the benefit
25:40
Speaker 7: of the doubt and maybe overvaluing. And if you're not
25:43
Speaker 7: comfortable having really direct, honest conversations, then you're gonna get
25:48
Speaker 7: in trouble because all of us as humans have these
25:51
Speaker 7: biases that we fall in love with certain things or
25:53
Speaker 7: fall out of love, and sometimes it can be hard.
25:57
Speaker 7: And one of the things I've appreciate about the way
26:00
Speaker 7: we communicate in the group that we have is, I
26:03
Speaker 7: don't I know James is unafraid to check me on
26:07
Speaker 7: saying huh really, And I think James has learned.
26:12
Speaker 4: Tony's humble enough to allow me the luxury to do
26:14
Speaker 4: that without getting them.
26:19
Speaker 7: But also there's like you have to otherwise you're gonna
26:22
Speaker 7: make like really dumb decisions. And and what I appreciated
26:27
Speaker 7: about the process so far, and again, we have done nothing.
26:31
Speaker 7: We're not keeping score yet. We are just in the
26:33
Speaker 7: process and so let's not get too excited and and
26:36
Speaker 7: you know, break our arms patting ourselves on the back.
26:38
Speaker 7: But my belief is if you continue to have those direct,
26:42
Speaker 7: honest conversations and not be rooted in what you think
26:47
Speaker 7: you saw. It's one of the first things I told
26:50
Speaker 7: James when we met, I said, listen, I will be direct.
26:54
Speaker 7: I have strong convictions, like you guys know, I think
26:57
Speaker 7: I know everything, but they are loosely held. And that's
27:01
Speaker 7: something I've tried. I learned in business like I have
27:04
Speaker 7: strong convictions like this is what we're gonna do, but
27:06
Speaker 7: I am unafraid to change my mind and be wrong
27:10
Speaker 7: if new data comes in a different perspective, because I've
27:14
Speaker 7: looked back on life and I've made really stupid decisions
27:17
Speaker 7: when I get rooted in something that's just not true.
27:21
Speaker 4: See things as they are, not as you wish them
27:23
Speaker 4: to be. Right, And so the reason why I asked Tony, hey,
27:26
Speaker 4: how would you label yesterday? To go back to your
27:28
Speaker 4: original question, it was a player's day off, so our
27:31
Speaker 4: coaches had a little bit more bandwidth to begin some
27:34
Speaker 4: of the more structured dialogue as a part of this. Right,
27:37
Speaker 4: we're through one preseason game, we have two more to go,
27:41
Speaker 4: so we had a fairly extensive conversation yesterday about a
27:46
Speaker 4: lot of those counts positionally, side of ball, etc. And
27:50
Speaker 4: what some of the things to look for over the
27:53
Speaker 4: course of these next two weeks need to be and
27:55
Speaker 4: how we need to maybe take action off of it.
27:58
Speaker 6: Right in preparation for some of those Hey James talking.
28:00
Speaker 7: To I'm gonna play and I'm gonna play the role
28:03
Speaker 7: now you yes, I am, so just tell them to
28:05
Speaker 7: relax for a second. Commercials will come when they come.
28:09
Speaker 7: This is what I used to Doe, JP Crazy and
28:11
Speaker 7: everyone over in the other room. James talk a little
28:14
Speaker 7: bit because I love James said this yesterday and he
28:16
Speaker 7: said it to me before. It was a great perspective
28:19
Speaker 7: because listen, this is the first time I've been in
28:22
Speaker 7: this type of role. James has actually been doing this
28:25
Speaker 7: for the last nine years and different iterations in different
28:28
Speaker 7: spots within the front office, and so it's been a
28:30
Speaker 7: lot of fun the learning for me and understanding like, hey,
28:34
Speaker 7: this is good stuff and let me absorb as much
28:37
Speaker 7: as I can. But talk a little bit about the
28:40
Speaker 7: different perspective of where we sit maybe in the clouds
28:44
Speaker 7: coaches and the weeds, which is just the exact opposite
28:48
Speaker 7: it comes to the draft.
28:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's something that you know in the anything in
28:51
Speaker 4: the off season, especially with player acquisition, pro free agency,
28:55
Speaker 4: the draft, I'm in the weeds, so to speak, and
28:58
Speaker 4: to lead up to those decisions, I am deep in
29:01
Speaker 4: the nuances, the finer details. Typically a coaching staff enters
29:05
Speaker 4: the equation and they're flying at thirty thousand.
29:08
Speaker 6: Feet so to speak.
29:09
Speaker 4: They are coming in providing their perspective without a ton
29:13
Speaker 4: of the intricate knowledge that may be underneath the surface,
29:17
Speaker 4: and they provide their thoughts, and that can be really
29:20
Speaker 4: helpful to a decision maker.
29:22
Speaker 6: I value that.
29:23
Speaker 4: I think that it's important to be able to zoom
29:25
Speaker 4: out and change alter perspectives. Tony and I what he
29:30
Speaker 4: was writing on my board before we walked in here
29:33
Speaker 4: was off the heels of a podcast around decision making
29:37
Speaker 4: and how maybe distancing from decisions can be a helpful
29:40
Speaker 4: part of helpful exercise before actually making them. But this
29:44
Speaker 4: is a technique to do that, and I think it
29:47
Speaker 4: flips when we get to this part of the process
29:49
Speaker 4: and that our coaches are in the weeds with our players.
29:53
Speaker 4: They know the intent behind every play, they know the techniques,
29:57
Speaker 4: they know everything that goes in. They know the nuances
30:01
Speaker 4: behind why an offensive alignment should take, what step right,
30:04
Speaker 4: those types of things. But Tony myself, any scout is
30:08
Speaker 4: actually zoomed out. Just like we're up on a perch.
30:11
Speaker 4: We're watching, not all that different from somebody sitting in
30:14
Speaker 4: a stance. Right, we don't know explicitly the details and
30:18
Speaker 4: intent behind every single play call or everything every single
30:23
Speaker 4: coaching point. So it is going to be a slightly
30:25
Speaker 4: different perspective that can help somebody maybe think about it
30:28
Speaker 4: a little bit differently. And so there's value that's right,
30:32
Speaker 4: that's right, it's yin and yang, and so that was
30:34
Speaker 4: one of the things that I definitely I highlighted a
30:37
Speaker 4: little bit yesterday, but I just wanted to, I guess,
30:40
Speaker 4: tap back into that knowing that it can be a
30:42
Speaker 4: part of the equation just for any listeners, knowing that
30:45
Speaker 4: those things can be useful. But no one right way
30:50
Speaker 4: is no one way is going to be the right
30:52
Speaker 4: way all the time, right, So it does take a
30:55
Speaker 4: little bit of humility from everybody to be able to
30:57
Speaker 4: listen and respect that dialogue.
31:00
Speaker 2: You guys got time for one more little segment.
31:01
Speaker 5: We'll come back if it's really short, because we're over
31:03
Speaker 5: our time right now.
31:04
Speaker 2: I mean, you're the ones gone through commercial breaks.
31:08
Speaker 5: I think that was the buzzer a couple of minutes.
31:11
Speaker 3: Back in a moment one final thought, we'll get their
31:13
Speaker 3: thoughts about what to expect on Sunday in the Superdome
31:16
Speaker 3: in New Orleansist Liam Cohen Show on Jaguars Radio.
31:23
Speaker 2: Welcome Back.
31:24
Speaker 1: The Liam Cohen Show, presented by Fresh from Florida continues
31:28
Speaker 1: right now. J. P.
31:30
Speaker 3: Shatrick Jeff Logovan, Toby Vasselli, James Gladstone, Final moments.
31:37
Speaker 2: Welcome back, We're back, and we're back. James. What do
31:42
Speaker 2: you want to see preseason week two?
31:44
Speaker 3: What's a successful night for the Jags in the Superdome
31:46
Speaker 3: on Sunday or Day?
31:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, obviously, I think safe to say that
31:50
Speaker 4: a cleaner operation is something that is within the controllables
31:54
Speaker 4: and should in fact show itself in preseason game two,
31:59
Speaker 4: knowing that it was certainly a point of emphasis here
32:02
Speaker 4: this week. Uh, and making sure that we execute, you know,
32:05
Speaker 4: make sure when guys get the ops, they're able to
32:07
Speaker 4: come through, make the plays that they're supposed to and
32:10
Speaker 4: and even more than that right be able to earn
32:13
Speaker 4: there's their place on this roster, if not here, somewhere else.
32:16
Speaker 4: But would like to see all that start to show
32:18
Speaker 4: itself in a in a more consistent way, for sure.
32:20
Speaker 2: Totally.
32:21
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would echo the clean operation. I'm just having
32:24
Speaker 7: a clean operation from the sideline to the huddle, huddle,
32:29
Speaker 7: line of scrimmage to snap. Just having a nice clean operation.
32:33
Speaker 7: I mean that'd be that'd be a very positive I think,
32:35
Speaker 7: continue the physical brand of football that are that we
32:40
Speaker 7: are asking our players to play with. We've seen it
32:43
Speaker 7: in practice. I thought there was good physicality in that
32:47
Speaker 7: Steelers game. Wasn't perfect, but they were physical. James highlighted
32:52
Speaker 7: that the toot and play that was a physical brand
32:55
Speaker 7: of football. So I want to continue to see that
32:57
Speaker 7: progress and that really become part of that identity. And
33:00
Speaker 7: then I think anytime in preseason you want to come
33:03
Speaker 7: through injury. For you, obviously it's you know, it's a
33:07
Speaker 7: it's a physical game. You know, it's so you want
33:09
Speaker 7: to try to get all your guys to the start line.
33:12
Speaker 7: But at the same time, you got to practice. You
33:14
Speaker 7: got to practice football to play football and to get
33:17
Speaker 7: better at football. So it's that fine line of, hey,
33:20
Speaker 7: we got to get the reps, we got to get
33:21
Speaker 7: the time in, and I think everyone just, you know,
33:24
Speaker 7: you're hoping that everyone gets through cleaned.
33:25
Speaker 5: On both sides.
33:26
Speaker 7: You know, at this time of year, you want all
33:28
Speaker 7: the best players to be able to get to the
33:29
Speaker 7: opening day and go play football. So, uh, those would
33:33
Speaker 7: be kind of three things that I think are.
33:35
Speaker 4: I think beyond that though, too, as I just think
33:37
Speaker 4: about it a little bit more. It's easy to go
33:39
Speaker 4: to all right, here's some areas where we didn't meet
33:43
Speaker 4: what we would have considered standards, right, But also I
33:46
Speaker 4: would love to see it that in critical moments, critical situations,
33:51
Speaker 4: we continue to show some positive science like a fourth
33:54
Speaker 4: down conversion on drive one, Yeah, a fourth down stop
33:58
Speaker 4: from our defense, seventy yard.
34:00
Speaker 6: Field goal, right, that type of stuff.
34:03
Speaker 4: But when it matters most your best shows up. And
34:07
Speaker 4: so that did present itself last week. Can we stack that?
34:12
Speaker 4: Does it remain consistent? And so that's a positive that
34:15
Speaker 4: you'd like to see continue to be a positive as
34:17
Speaker 4: opposed to let's call it a negative. Get better, right,
34:21
Speaker 4: So that's all the element that I.
34:23
Speaker 8: Would always want to see a significant jump from week
34:26
Speaker 8: one to week two. I mean, that's always what you
34:28
Speaker 8: want to see the most because that's usually when you
34:30
Speaker 8: see big improvement too.
34:31
Speaker 2: No doubt, James Tony. We'll do it again in Miami
34:34
Speaker 2: next week.
34:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm the beach and to make sure, but don't
34:40
Speaker 7: wonder what. I know you're gonna be hanging at the
34:43
Speaker 7: pool all day drinking umbrella drinks, and I want to
34:45
Speaker 7: make sure you show up professional dress, professional, you know,
34:50
Speaker 7: not a couple adult beverages in Why would you say that, Well,
34:55
Speaker 7: just rumor has it that you like to know what rumor?
34:58
Speaker 2: Has it? This shows over?
34:59
Speaker 5: How about has it you like the pool?
35:01
Speaker 3: Get out of the studio, go back to your office.
35:03
Speaker 3: Tony Basel, James Gladstone and Pond's good for JPN.
35:09
Speaker 2: Yeah that's true.
35:09
Speaker 6: Appreciate the invite.
35:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, great, You're always welcome, James, Tony. It's the Liam
35:14
Speaker 3: Cohen Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
35:22
Speaker 2: Welcome back.
35:23
Speaker 1: The Liam Cohen Show, presented by Fresh from Florida continues
35:28
Speaker 1: right now.
35:28
Speaker 3: We're back on the Jaguars Radio Network, presented by the
35:31
Speaker 3: University of Florida Number one university and the US News
35:33
Speaker 3: and World Reports Number one state for Education. JP Shadwick,
35:36
Speaker 3: Jeff Logeman, Fourth Straight Show, James Gladstone and Tony Vasselli.
35:41
Speaker 2: And they just keep getting better and better. I think
35:45
Speaker 2: there's always a little smirking going on. It's like inside jokes.
35:49
Speaker 2: And so for the people that, uh.
35:52
Speaker 3: What where where can they watch it? To where they
35:54
Speaker 3: get the video? To YouTube, YouTube and X it's a yes,
35:57
Speaker 3: they're both websites.
35:59
Speaker 8: They got they got to get it there because it
36:01
Speaker 8: is it is very entertaining to watch the looks that
36:05
Speaker 8: these guys.
36:06
Speaker 2: Have between the two of them. It is fun. It
36:09
Speaker 2: is pretty fascinating to see them. They've there.
36:11
Speaker 3: I liked I loved his answer, but both their answers
36:14
Speaker 3: on yeah, we're having conversations. They started really having them
36:17
Speaker 3: yesterday about how you're going to break down the fifty
36:19
Speaker 3: three I have the quick changes.
36:21
Speaker 8: How he was talking about being in the weeds versus
36:23
Speaker 8: you know, thirty thousand feet, you know, from perspectives, and
36:27
Speaker 8: you know how you know the scouts and the personnel
36:30
Speaker 8: people are in the weeds, so to speak. And then
36:31
Speaker 8: now that the practices and games are being played, the
36:35
Speaker 8: coaches are the ones that are down the weeds, and
36:36
Speaker 8: then his perspective is a little bit different. So yeah,
36:41
Speaker 8: it's just it's cool. And the whole thing about the
36:44
Speaker 8: preconceived notions I think is very interesting to me because
36:48
Speaker 8: a lot of times you have them and some of
36:50
Speaker 8: them are warranted, and some of them, you know, do
36:52
Speaker 8: you trust them, you know, to be uh.
36:55
Speaker 2: To be repeated.
36:56
Speaker 8: So I think all that's very interesting when it comes
36:59
Speaker 8: to making personnel decisions with a roster. Let's come back
37:04
Speaker 8: in a moment, Well, you know what I wanted to
37:07
Speaker 8: ask him that I didn't ask him, But yeah, was
37:11
Speaker 8: the numbers. Give us a breakdown on the numbers of
37:13
Speaker 8: each position, because you know, James threw out a couple
37:16
Speaker 8: numbers that are fairly standard.
37:18
Speaker 2: The ten number for defensive back.
37:19
Speaker 8: Sometimes people consider that the same for offensive linemen, but
37:23
Speaker 8: that's always evolving based on the talent you have.
37:25
Speaker 3: We'll get into the offensive performance in the scrimmage today
37:27
Speaker 3: when we come back. It's the Liam Cohen Show on
37:29
Speaker 3: Jaguars Radio.
37:37
Speaker 2: Welcome Back.
37:38
Speaker 1: The Liam Cohen Show, presented by Fresh from Florida continues.
37:42
Speaker 3: Right now Jaguars football is officially back and be there
37:45
Speaker 3: as number two overall draft pick Travis Hunter, the quarterback
37:49
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence, and the entire Jaguars squad take the field
37:51
Speaker 3: for the first time in twenty twenty five on the
37:54
Speaker 3: Jags taking on the Panthers September seventh. Go to Jaguars
37:57
Speaker 3: dot Com, slash tickets or Coldinlano four six three three,
38:00
Speaker 3: two thousand and one o'clock kickoff time, JP Shaddick, Jeff Logoman,
38:04
Speaker 3: Liam Cohen Show continues. We'll have the head coach in
38:07
Speaker 3: week one of going into that Panthers game. Right after
38:11
Speaker 3: the turn of the calendar into September our thanks to
38:14
Speaker 3: James Gladstone Tony Bacelli earlier offensive performance. Jaguars had a
38:17
Speaker 3: scrimmage today on the practice field. They set up benches
38:20
Speaker 3: on both sides. They had the coaches off to the sideline,
38:23
Speaker 3: some in the balcony upstairs, and basically went through an
38:27
Speaker 3: entire football game today.
38:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was a great exercise.
38:31
Speaker 8: You know, the when you got a new coaching staff
38:33
Speaker 8: and new coordinators, it's a it's a great exercise to
38:36
Speaker 8: the mechanics, I think is also you know, when we
38:40
Speaker 8: had Mark Duffner on earlier, the former Jaguars linebackers coach,
38:44
Speaker 8: we talked about the mechanics of lining up to get
38:47
Speaker 8: ready to play. Well, there's also mechanics that exist for
38:50
Speaker 8: coaches to make a play call, you know, getting the
38:53
Speaker 8: personnel grouping from somebody that's high in the sky in
38:56
Speaker 8: the booth right so that he can give you a
38:58
Speaker 8: personnel grouping, so you, as a defensive coordinator play caller
39:03
Speaker 8: can get a personnel grouping, observe the down and distance,
39:08
Speaker 8: and then put your defense in the best position possible.
39:12
Speaker 8: So that process needs to be better for the Jaguars,
39:16
Speaker 8: and then also the assimilation of the information on the
39:19
Speaker 8: field needs to be better from the player standpoint so
39:22
Speaker 8: that the performance can be better. You have a better
39:25
Speaker 8: chance of success when you get lined up cleats in
39:27
Speaker 8: the ground, so to speak.
39:29
Speaker 3: It's in one of those weeks finding the cleats in
39:31
Speaker 3: the ground, the alignments and assignments and.
39:33
Speaker 8: Such, and so that's what I loved about today. It
39:36
Speaker 8: was a great opportunity to practice some more of those mechanics,
39:41
Speaker 8: the things that you struggled with in preseason game number
39:44
Speaker 8: one against Pittsburgh, and Pittsburgh ran kind of a tempo offense,
39:48
Speaker 8: but it was sometimes a little different in that they
39:50
Speaker 8: would huddle, but then break the huddle and then hurry
39:53
Speaker 8: to the line, So it was sometimes it was truly
39:56
Speaker 8: no huddle. Sometimes it was just breaking the huddle and
39:59
Speaker 8: getting to the line fast. And so it's kind of
40:01
Speaker 8: two different situations, but you got to be able to
40:04
Speaker 8: deal with all of them.
40:05
Speaker 3: Let's come back putting more ahead on the Liam Cohen
40:08
Speaker 3: Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back to Liam
40:14

41:02
Speaker 3: know who does have one? Joe fortune Ido has one?
41:05
Speaker 3: Does he from his previous employer?
41:07

Speaker 3: It's one of the original bibbleheads, like from the sixties. Yeah,
41:15
Speaker 3: it is a pretty cool bibblehead. No, uh yeah, those
41:18

Speaker 3: Well, they had like the old ones that had like
41:29
Speaker 3: just the general guy with NFL stuff on him.
41:32
Speaker 8: Yeah, like the I think that's that would be an
41:34
Speaker 8: intra'd be a good trivia question. Who was the first
41:36
Speaker 8: bobblehead of all time? Maybe we'll look that up.
41:39
Speaker 2: I don't know. Anyway, I'm looking forward to Sunday.

Speaker 8: really good food.
42:33
Speaker 2: And I can't wait. Because I was telling you earlier.
42:36
Speaker 8: I was in New Orleans years ago and I happened
42:39
Speaker 8: to find this place, Gus's Fried Chicken, and I'm going back.
42:41
Speaker 2: Oh, it's gonna be one of those. It was so good.
42:44

43:20
Speaker 3: Week one of the regular season logs. What are you
43:23
Speaker 3: looking for in the game Sunday under the roof in
43:26
Speaker 3: the Superdome.
43:26
Speaker 8: Well, I think first I want to see the evolution
43:28
Speaker 8: of Travis Hunter in playtime.
43:30
Speaker 2: You know, could he actually be a true.
43:32
Speaker 8: Two way player this week where instead of you know,
43:35
Speaker 8: there was last week was a focus on one and
43:37
Speaker 8: then the other? Could he do both at the same time.
43:40
Speaker 8: Really going to watch the running back rotation, the positions
43:44
Speaker 8: that are played by the offensive lineman and then linebacker.
43:47
Speaker 8: Those things I think are definitely bear worth watching live.
43:51
Speaker 8: We'll throw one other thing out there, the performance of
43:53
Speaker 8: the safeties, because that is like one of those positions
43:57
Speaker 8: that is unsettled yet and the performance is going to
44:00
Speaker 8: have a lot to do with who gets the nod
44:03
Speaker 8: on starting opening Day.
44:05
Speaker 3: We'll find out Sunday, one o'clock eastern kickoff time for
44:09
