Jags A.M. Podcast Ep. 162 | Keys to Victory in Week 1 · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Jags A I my kind Honesteve in the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: brand section.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: John Osier with me.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It is week one at the NFL.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: We finally get to see Jaguars football for reel again
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: this Sunday to take on the Panthers in Week one
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: in the season opener. So let's get to our big
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Things brought to you by dak Government Employees Health Association.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: And it's gonna be a cat fight to take it
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: on the Panthers, another team coming off a disappointing season
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: last year. Brian, when you look at this, we talk
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: about starting fast. Obviously you want to play well right
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: out of the gate. Well, which one of these teams
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: really needs to play well out of the gate?
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Well, just a thought on the Panthers. They won six
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: of their last nine, so they have a little bit
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: of something that they can lean on. Whereas the Jaguars
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: ended last season on a bad note. Listen, they struggled
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: mightily in the fourth quarter of games that they could
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: have won last year. So you have a team in
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Jacksonville that's hungry to erase their lack of resilience, their
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: inability to close out games.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: And you know.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: We've heard from the head coach John since the first
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: day he was here that he wants a team that's fast, right,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: and it appears that through the course of the preseason
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: they've gotten to that point where they're attacking and situational
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: masters and tough. But we don't know until we see
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: him on Sunday.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, and this hearkens back again first game ever
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Brian in Hall of Fame game in ninety five. Man
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: of these teams, I don't know if it's a rivalry
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: who needs it From our perspective, the Jaguars really really
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: need it, but I think it's probably equal. You know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Carolina showed good things. People don't quite know what they
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: are that. You know, did they get hot late against
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: you know, well when it didn't matter. There's an element
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: of that, but they also got hot late. So I
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: don't think anything that happened last year pertains to the
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Jaguars right now. But I do think it would be
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: nice to get to one to er because the schedule
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: gets tough, and this should be a game where you're
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: on even foot.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Should be let's hope it is a big thing. Number
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: two I should say is grounds work. As we talk
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: about kind of setting the tone early last couple of seasons,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: this team.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Didn't really feel like they had their identity, didn't know
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: what it was. Trevor Lawrence talked about kind of asserting
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: that early this season we're a.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Tough, physical team. It's something we're gonna pride ourselves on.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: I think being situationally really smart. That's such a big
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: part of this game and this league. Games come down
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: to one score all bit more often than they don't,
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: so the situations are huge that'll win and lose you
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: a lot of games. And then just detail oriented group
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: that's really the small things matter so much. I think
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: that's something that this stuff has done an awesome job
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: of preaching to us, and it's been really hard every
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: day how important those details are. The communication and something
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: we've gotten a lot better at. But like I said,
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: you know, you want to see it all come together
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: on Sunday when the bullets are flying, and see us
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: do that for a full game.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: John, We've talked about this.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: You can say all the you know, the acronyms, say
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: what you want to be, but when they actually get
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: out on the field, we're going to see if they're
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: tough as they want to be. And obviously they want
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: to be fast as they're as well, among other things,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: being smart with the details.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: But will we be will we be able to tell
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a lot from what we see out the team in
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the first week.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Well, I think we'll be able to tell the direction
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: they want to go. And I'm with you Ka. When
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: I was listening to Trevor talk about this, I thought, well, look,
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: I know what they want to be. They want to
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: be really physical, and they want to respond really well
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: to adversity everything else. They want to play fast and
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: everything else. But to me, those are the two elements.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: It's nice to say you're physical, it's nice to say
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: you respond well to adversity. In this league, you don't
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: really know that, Brian, until the fourth quarter of the
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: first game that you go play. So I do think
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: those are two areas that Liam Cohen cares about a lot,
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: and then we'll be able to start seeing it on Sunday.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: And they just happened to be two areas that this
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: team couldn't overcome last year. They weren't a very physical
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: team at the point of attack. They struggled to convert
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: on third down and short really they have for the
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: last two seasons, and that's had a detrimental effect on
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: the offense because it couldn't stay on the field, It
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: couldn't go more than two or three pages into the
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: playbook because they were constantly punting. And then the other
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: side of it is the resiliency. And I mentioned that already,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: that they lost nine out of ten games in the
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: fourth quarter, And how many times did you go back
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: look at the Eagles game, look at the Packers game,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: look at the Texans game where there were opportunities to
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: win and they didn't. So you know, he's pointing out
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: the obvious, but that's been the focus since Liam got
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: here to get those things fixed. And we won't know
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: until as you mentioned, the fourth quarter till then our.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Final big thing today is going to be the trenches.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Obviously, we talked a ton about the offensive line and
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the defensive line and the off season, the changes that
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: they've made, and what they're going to need to improve.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Upon going forwards. Brian, do you have a focus on
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you think they both need to step up on?
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Well, they both need to step up on Sunday. I'm
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: looking at the offense just because I've been beating that
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: drum for so many years. But Ron talked to Robert
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Hainsey in the locker room yesterday like a lot of
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: people did, and he was talking about when everyone knows
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: that you need a yard, that's when those guys expect
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: to be able to get that yard. And I told
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: him they haven't expected that the last two years. He
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: says they do this year. The addition of McCary of
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Adoga to a group of guys who've been here for
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: a couple of years. I think John gives him a
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: lot of versatility, it gives him a lot of depth,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: and it gives them some experience. I expect them to
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: be able to get a yard this year.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I thought overall that to define the offensive line last
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: couple of years, like everybody says, I'll be looking at
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: the interior of the defensive line onto the linebackers. They
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: need to stop the run better. If they don't stop
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: the run better, nothing else works on defense. And clearly
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: during camp they saw something that they wanted to improve there.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: They acquired two guys who are on the roster in
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: the middle of the defense. How stout are you? I
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: know they want to be stout. I know Anthony camp
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: nellily talks about getting off blocks and being violent Sundays
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: when we find out if that is talk or if
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: it's real.
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: I think it's real.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: All right, stay with us here on JAGSA. I'm coming
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: up after the break. I go behind enemy lines, check
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: in with our panthers inside, or some.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Can find out more about the opponent. Why fans today is.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Robber Reckfield's Autooop, Seafield's first acting those premier luxury autobroop.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Go to Fieldsauto dot Com.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Welcome into our behind enemy Line segment where we check
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: in with a reporter covering the opponent. For this week,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: it's going to be the Carolina Panthers, so we're checking
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: in with Nick Carboni, sports director at w C and
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: C in Charlotte.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Nick, thanks for joining us this week, and.
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: I'm truly behind enemy Lions. I am inside Bank of
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: America Stadium. I do have clear ince, I promise, but
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: glad to be with you.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: We're very much in there.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: We appreciate that we always at the first first game
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: of the year, right, we don't really know what we're
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: going to see from anybody. Obviously, you guys kind of
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: went through a rebuild a year ahead of us. We're
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: doing that right now here in Jacksonville. Where's the status
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: of that and what are kind of the team's thoughts
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: right now going into Week one.
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think this camp was all about comfortability that
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: kind of builds confidence. That is year two for Bryce
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: Young under head coach Dave Canalis. And even though this
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: is Bryce's third season in the NFL, it's the first
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: time he's been able to carry over the same coach,
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: offensive coordinator, play caller from year to year in that span.
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: So it was a tumultuous first couple of years for him,
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: especially that rookie season, which I know you guys are
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: kind of familiar with situation, a situation like that, so
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: he's kind of coming out of that, and I think
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: Bryce has gained more confidence by being comfortable with what's happening,
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: and I think everybody has as well. So I think
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: this camp was all about, you know, being comfortable with
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: what happened last year continuing into this year and building
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: on that.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: We did see some changes for you guys on offense,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: obviously some trades, some injuries in terms of the wide
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: receiver corps, but some drafting to that position as well.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Where is the in terms of being comfortable with that
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the new receiver corp.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: He's going to have. How do you feel Bryce young
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: is going into this week?
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we're gonna find out quickly. This is now the
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: youngest receiver corps in the NFL.
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: After they traded thirty five year old Adam Thielen last week,
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: which was a surprise to a lot of us that
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: had happened so quickly. They were relying on Jalen Coker,
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: a second year undrafted receiver, to fill that slot role. Well,
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: the day after Carolina traded Feeling Coker got injured. He's
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: out at least four weeks. They brought Brett back Hunter Renfro,
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: a name a lot of Jags fans are familiar with,
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: played for the Raiders, was a Pro bowler. Sat out
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: last year with alternative colitis, really serious injury. Wasn't sure
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: he'd come back and play football. Only wanted to do
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: it if it could be with the Panthers.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: He's from the.
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: Carolina so he got cut Tuesday dealing with traded Wednesday.
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: Cocher was injured Thursday. Renfro was back Saturday and he
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: will start this Sunday in the slot for Carolina. So
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: the Panthers are very confident in their young receivers. As
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: you mentioned, draft one in the first round this year.
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: Tet Tyro McMillan drafted one in the first round last
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: year in xavierly Get and they really liked their second
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: year tight end out of Texas JT Sanders, in terms
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: of catching the football. So I'm sure they wouldn't have
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: liked the last week to go the way it did.
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: But I still think they are confident in those guys.
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: We'll see you when Bryce gets comfortable with them.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: So for us here in Jacksonville, we've got a partially
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: new offensive line, obviously new schemes on both sides of
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: the football. A lot of our focus is on whether
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: they'll be able to protect Trevor Lawrence, so as far
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: as edge rushing and kind of the line that Carolina
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: is bringing into town. However, are they feeling on defense?
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah, getting after the core has been a problem for
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: the Panthers dating back to last season. They're leading sack
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: getter from last year and there weren't any eye popping stats.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: Was Jenevian Clowney and they let him walk. They drafted
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: to all SEC edge rushers in the second and third rounds,
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: so their talent level and their ability to get after
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: the quarterback in the NFL remains to be seen. They
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: obviously like the fact that they came out of the
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: SEC that they were Day two picks Nick Gordon and
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: Princely Umanmiellen. But other than that, they have a couple
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: of veterans who are pretty good players in Pat Jones
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: the second they got him in from Minnesota.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: Dj Wanham, who was here last year, had a slow.
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: Start to the season, didn't play the first half of
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: the season because of some medical stuff. He's you know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: I don't think they have any elite pass rushers at
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: the moment unless one of these two rookies is able
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: to carry that load this season. So you know that
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: that's probably their their weak weakest point in that defense interior.
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: On the line, they got a little stronger Derek Brown,
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: pro bowler who had a record setting over one hundred
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: tackles two years ago but was injured most of last year.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: He is back.
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: They picked up to Shaun Wharton who played alongside Chris
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: Jones in Kansas City, and they brought in Bobby Brown
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: from the LA Rams, who won a Super Bowl. So
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: their big focus is going to be to try and
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: stop the run down at Jacksonville. Getting after the quarterback
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: would be a bonus for this team at this point.
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: I think they've got guys they think they grow into
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: that role, but this is going to be weak one for.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Those guys very good here.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: We're looking forward to seeing exactly how they're going to
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: use Travis Hunter. We've talked a bunch about what it's
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: going to be. We don't know yet even they're playing
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: that close to the best for sure. Who are some
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: players you have your eyes on for the Panthers that
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: will kind of make or break it for them on Sunday, Well.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: Nobody that plays offense and defense. I can tell you
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: that guy. So we're all interested to see what happens
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: there too. You know, I think j C.
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: Horn, the Pro Bowl cornerback who had a full healthy
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: season for the first time for the most part last year,
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: made his first Pro Bowl, got a big contract in
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: the offseason. You know how he is able to hold
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: up against some of Jacksonville's receivers and then really the Panthers' receivers.
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: We talked about it before they took a big swing
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: on tet Tyro McMillan at number eight overall when they
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: needed to plug defensive holes in the first round. By
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: many accounts, they went with offense and a guy they
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: think can help Bryce Young here for a long time.
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: They've had their moments in camp where the chemistry is there.
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: They've had other moments where they need to work on
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: some of that timing. So how much of it will
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: be fully formed by week one remains to be seen.
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: And then their other first round receiver from the prior season,
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: Zaverly Get He had a nice rookie season.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: It wasn't bad by any means, but he also had
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: eight drops. So is he able to.
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: Make tough contest and catches against Jacksonville and hold onto
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: the football in those big moments. So I think the
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: receiver room and Bryce Young starting this season. How he
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: finished last three games last year, ten total touchdowns, zero turnovers,
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: is going to be kind of what makes her breaks
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: this Carolina Panthers football team this year.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun one.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Football is back. We appreciate you, Nick, and that's behind
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: enemy lines.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: You got it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Thanks for having me, all right, guys, we heard a
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: little bit about the Panthers there, so coming back to
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: us when we think about going up against a team
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: that kind of probably started their rebuild a little bit
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: earlier than ours. Obviously in ours is different than theirs.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: They have their new quarterbacks, still dealing with Bryce Young.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: A lot of.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Opportunity there, especially with a team that we feel this
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: is going to be a game where they can set
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: the tone a little bit offensively, hopefully and going up
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: against a defense that seems like maybe an area that
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: they're working on.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: You know, the last time that we saw this team,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: they weren't very good. The Jags shut them out twenty
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: six to nothing. But they moved into the top ten
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: defensively last year. So they have got a really skillful unit.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: And they did that without Derek Brown as their best
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: defensive lineman so and trading away a pass rusher to
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: the New York Giants. So defensively, they're a better team
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: than people give them credit for. And I know all
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: the focus has been on Bryce Young and the changes
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: they've made the receiver, but their defense can keep them
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: in games.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is one of those games where you know,
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: every Jags fan you talk to, oh, we should get Carolina. Well,
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: guarantee every Carolina fan is It's not like Carolina is
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: walking down here going, oh my god, we can't beat Jacksonville,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: you know. So I think both teams feel like it's
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: one that they have a chance to get and should
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: set the tone for their season.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: You talked about the defense.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Carolina's offense has weapons.
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: They run the ball well.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: And they know they can go to their outside guys
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: or for fifty to fifty balls. They have an identity
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: and a way they want to play. They're not searching
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: for what they are, which going into a season is important.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: So this is a dangerous team for the Jags.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: You know, you remember this because you covered the game
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: the first time these two teams played in the regular
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: season back in nineteen ninety six. It was Week six
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: and the Panthers came in three and one and they
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: were kind of the hot team. The Daguars had stumbled
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: to a two and three beginning. But there was such
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: anxiety about the game because it was Carolina and Jacksonville
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: and they came into the league together. And the Jaguars
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: went out and punched him in the mouth. I mean,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: they played a really physical game, exactly what these guys
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: are talking about here. So it's just the parallel, the
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: striking to me that if this team wants to win,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: they're going to have to come out and punch them
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: in the mouth. They're going to have to be able
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: to play physical football.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that game is an aside. After that game may
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: have been to that point the most emotional I'd ever
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: seen Tom Cofflin.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a good emotion.
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: Oh oh oh, very much.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: So.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: He was chessed out and rightfully so. At the time,
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: it was a big way.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Well, the Panthers. They got all the attention when the
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: two teams came into the league together because they were
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Carolina and it was Charlotte and it was a hot market,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: and so there were newspapers and cities that used the
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Panther's logo when the Jaguars were in town.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: They did.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: It was as if we didn't exist compared to them
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: at some point in time. So there was a lot
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: of emotion around the game. And we're not in the
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: same conference, let alone the same division, but playing Carolina
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: still means something to people who've been around since the beginning.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: All right, stay with here on jag Zam.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Coming up after the break, we'll tell you what we
• 15:57

  Speaker 1: Welcome back in. We're gonna try to predict the feature
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: today as we go into week one. We're gonna predict
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: what the headlines are gonna be. So what do you
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: think the headlines are gonna be on Monday?
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I'll say one and oh uh. I think the Jaguars
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: will find a way to get the win at home
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: on opening Day. And I think Travis Hunter will make
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: a play on defense a takeaway. And this is one
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: of the storylines we haven't talked about as much this week,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: is the fact that the Jaguars had only eighty takeaways
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: last season. I mean, that's just not sustainable if you
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: want to win this game. And I think Travis Hunter
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: is as good a threat on defense as he is
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: on offense. And I think he makes a play and
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: perhaps it's a play that turns the momentum the other way.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Well, that would be a cool tone setter, because that's
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: what they drafted him for. And that's why they didn't
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: have enough last year. You hope that the difference this
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: year is big plays at the end of games. I
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: think they've got more guys on offense who can do it,
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: but certainly over time, Travis is sort of the symbol
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: of a guy who can do that. I went with
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: let's get physical. I think if the Jaguars win and
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: you feel good about this team after the game, it's
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: gonna be Brian, because they look like a team, as
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: we talked Abart earlier in the show, that you didn't
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: see the last couple of years.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: You would like to stop your run and have a
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: big play.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: On defense in that regard, maybe a truck sacked by
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Traylon Walker, if you will, And it would be cool
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: right for this team the direction they want to go.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: If they're playing four minute football offensively late and can
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: make that happen, you know, there's a million ways to
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: win a game if you're playing four minutes and holding
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: the ball. I think Liam would smile most widely if
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: that was the case.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: The early injury the Whens the injury report had three
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: starting offensive linemen for the Carolina Panthers out, which talking
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: about this Jaguars defensive front certainly would be a lift
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: and a kwanu. Their left tackle had an appendectomy. They're
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: listening him as questionable. I would say he's doubtful. That's
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: a major and it takes a month five weeks to
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: get back into it. So perhaps there's a potential there
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: for the Jaguars to dominate the line of scrimmage. It
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: may forget dominate that that's the wrong word to use,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: but to win at the line of scrimmage.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, And we have to remember as well, Josh heinzelin
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: quickly approaching that franchise record number. I think he's two
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: and a half to break it, so he's on his way.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: So we'll keep an eye on that as well, because
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: we know he likes to get his sacks and bunches,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: so that would be a nice touch to see it
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: in week one here. I went with a one pun
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: as well, because week one, let's do it. I think
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: there's an opportunity here. We talked so much Trevor Lawrence's
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: fifth season.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: He's healthy.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Finally, we haven't seen a ton of them in terms
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: of just getting injuries and just things.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Not going well the last couple of seasons.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Every opportunity is going to the air form today UH Sunday,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: excuse me, And I think this is an opportunity for
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: him to kind of take the reins and really make
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: this his team, take this offense, run with it, do
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: what Baker Mayfield was able to do. Now, a lot
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: of that's gonna rely on the running games. While I'm
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: not saying I expecting to be Superman out there, but
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: seeing his command of the field team has commanded this
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: offense grow as the A training camp has gone on,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: hoping to see that continue in re in a week one.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: I sat with him on Wednesday to talk for pregame radio,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: and I just saw a spark in his eyes, you know.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's so even keeled most of the time
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: it doesn't let you too far inside, but it was
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: pretty clear just sitting for an interview that he's ready
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: for this one.
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Just wanna see a clean game from him A and
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: UH the UH A stable confident quarterback UH on Sunday
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: from him, UH would mean more to me than numbers.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: And do wonders for our fourteen Absolutely say with us quickly.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: We will UH tell you what's coming up the rest

  Speaker 1: We're shopping as a plug.
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: You're talking about guys.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: Having a feel for the game and understand.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: So what happened right here?
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: I'm calling a play, My mic cuts out.
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: Well, we could pant it could freak out, but Trevor
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: pulls a play.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: On his own and we execute it really well. But
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: that's a great job by Trevor. I understand the man.
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: We're playing a screw here.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: The MC cut out, but there's no pants.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: It's not hard.
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: That's a great job of owning the system, owning the
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: whole operation and running the show the right way. That's great.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: That's a scene from the most recent episode of The Hunt.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Are behind the scenes documentary style show an hour long,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: So you want.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: To get ready for the season. I'll get hyped up
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: seeing all that goes into age one.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: It's worth pointing out that on Sunday, it's also it's
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: the first game for Liam Cohen as the head coach.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: It's the first game for each of his coordinators in
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: their role for that matter, for Tony Bisselli and for
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: James Gladstone. So there's a lot, I don't want to
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: say on the line, but there's a lot of preparation
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: and effort that's gone to get to this point where
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: this new regime takes center stage for the first time,
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: and it's made for an interesting week. Guys are working hard.
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: It's been fun so far.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, something's going.
• 21:38
