0:10
Speaker 1: Hour for Wednesday has brought to you by Fields on
0:12
Speaker 1: a Group and our guy who has hair, he just

Speaker 1: refuses to use it. JP. That's my story and I'm
0:22
Speaker 1: sticking to it and welcome into Jaguars Happy Hour, presented
0:25
Speaker 1: my Fields Auto Group on this Wednesday. J P. Shadrick.
0:29
Speaker 1: Senior writer John Osier put this phone away. See if
0:32
Speaker 1: there was a a social element to tweet for the show.
0:36
Speaker 1: That's what I do now, a tweet social that one.
0:38
Speaker 1: That's JP. I think we all try to do that now,
0:41
Speaker 1: right but alass, that's okay. We can get to that
0:47
Speaker 1: coming on. We got plenty coming up on the show today.
0:49
Speaker 1: By the way, on this Wednesday, a uniform unveiling. Nobody
0:53
Speaker 1: publicly knows what the Jaguars will wear tomorrow night, but
0:56
Speaker 1: that is about to end. Jimmy Luck, equipment man for
1:00
Speaker 1: the Jags, will be here in studio. He will unveil
1:03
Speaker 1: for the first time with the Jaguars will wear tomorrow night.
1:06
Speaker 1: That's coming up. Deuce McAllister Saints Radio analysts a preview
1:10
Speaker 1: the pregame interview that lawyer. Tomorrow we'll hear from Deuce
1:12
Speaker 1: coming up and some deep tracks ocean. You and I
1:16
Speaker 1: will pick a handful of players, maybe deeper on the
1:20
Speaker 1: depth chart to watch in tomorrow night's game. I was
1:23
Speaker 1: a wide receiver in high school, often went deep. You
1:26
Speaker 1: were deep on the depth chart, right, That's how that was.
1:30
Speaker 1: I played left down. Good for you, but you're not
1:34
Speaker 1: no longer left You're in sure no media availability today
1:39
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars that the team was working indoors today,
1:42
Speaker 1: uh in helmets only, and then off to the hotel
1:44
Speaker 1: for meetings tonight. They've got the game tomorrow night. Of course,
1:47
Speaker 1: you know, it seemed like John there was a It
1:49
Speaker 1: was a harder week of practice, at least the Sunday practice,
1:53
Speaker 1: especially coming off that day off. I mean, Dug Maroon
1:55
Speaker 1: worked these guys to death. They ran through a couple
1:58
Speaker 1: of different drills twice because they didn't do it really effectively.
2:03
Speaker 1: They let up a little bit on Monday, and then
2:04
Speaker 1: a shorter practice yesterday. The heat was out there this week,
2:08
Speaker 1: but this is the dog days of camp going into
2:10
Speaker 1: that first preseason game. Yeah, I got the idea A
2:12
Speaker 1: couple of things on the schedule or on the on
2:15
Speaker 1: the intensity of camp. I really got the idea on
2:18
Speaker 1: Sunday that no matter how well that team practiced in
2:21
Speaker 1: the first two hours, Doug was going to make a
2:23
Speaker 1: point in the in the last half hour. Not to
2:26
Speaker 1: be a jerk about it, but he's got certain things
2:29
Speaker 1: he likes to get done during camp, and one of
2:32
Speaker 1: those things is to challenge these guys and to make
2:35
Speaker 1: things difficult. Well, as Miles Jack said after that practice,
2:39
Speaker 1: a way to make things difficult is to switch things up,
2:42
Speaker 1: give you something you're not expecting. So Doug did that
2:44
Speaker 1: a couple of times, did it in the heat, made
2:47
Speaker 1: sure they practiced a few minutes longer than the two
2:49
Speaker 1: and a half hours in case there were guys out
2:51
Speaker 1: there on their you know, fitbits looking at the time.
2:55
Speaker 1: He wanted to make sure that he did something that
2:58
Speaker 1: their body clock wasn't used to. But overall, I think
3:02
Speaker 1: this has been a slightly It hasn't felt as intense
3:07
Speaker 1: or as unusual, but I think that's to be expected
3:11
Speaker 1: because I think these veterans understood what to expect coming in,
3:14
Speaker 1: so there's more of an acceptance of, Hey, this is
3:17
Speaker 1: what camps are for us. This is what got us
3:20
Speaker 1: where we wanted to go last year, or very close
3:22
Speaker 1: to it, and this is how it's going to be
3:24
Speaker 1: under this guy. And we get it because we saw
3:26
Speaker 1: the results last year. So an intense camp, yes, but
3:29
Speaker 1: I don't think it's one that the veterans are saying, boy,
3:31
Speaker 1: what is this guy doing? There was an element of
3:33
Speaker 1: that last year. This time it's more, Okay, I get it.
3:37
Speaker 1: We believe in what this guy does. And you know,
3:41
Speaker 1: I thought I thought Miles really put that into words
3:44
Speaker 1: well Sunday after practice when he said we expect that
3:48
Speaker 1: from him, we expect the unexpected, and it's good for
3:50
Speaker 1: us to get that during a practice. Tough to say
3:53
Speaker 1: that in ninety degree heat when you've been through that.
3:56
Speaker 1: So I think that's a level of acceptance. It's one
3:58
Speaker 1: thing to to see guys in the practice yield and
4:00
Speaker 1: playing well there and and we've we've heard about all
4:03
Speaker 1: the performances and practice so far. But Doug Marone earlier
4:07
Speaker 1: this week discussed the difference. You know, it becomes really
4:10
Speaker 1: real when there's another team lining up against you on
4:13
Speaker 1: Thursday night, here's the head coach, because it happens every year.
4:17
Speaker 1: You know, you may be excited about right now. But
4:20
Speaker 1: if it's a defensive player you're excited about and he
4:22
Speaker 1: shows that he can't tackle, then that's going to be
4:24
Speaker 1: an issue. If it's an offensive player you're excited about,
4:27
Speaker 1: but then all of a sudden, now you know whether
4:29
Speaker 1: it's the running back or receiver, a tight end, you
4:31
Speaker 1: know that now you're coming over the middle, uh and
4:34
Speaker 1: as physical contact and you can't hold onto the ball,
4:37
Speaker 1: or if you're running back, you know then those are
4:39
Speaker 1: things that you know are are being looked at. That
4:43
Speaker 1: coach Doug Marone earlier this weekend, and makes a lot
4:46
Speaker 1: of sense. I mean, real football is totally different than
4:49
Speaker 1: going out there even in full pads in practice. Well,
4:51
Speaker 1: it makes sense, but I I thought that comment from
4:55
Speaker 1: Doug and some other things he has said since taking
4:57
Speaker 1: this job along the line, really defines who he is
5:02
Speaker 1: and it defines what this team has become. It's very
5:04
Speaker 1: easy when putting together a roster, when you draft guys
5:08
Speaker 1: and develop them and you see him in the off
5:10
Speaker 1: season without pads, and you see them on your board
5:13
Speaker 1: with their times and where they fire on the depth chart,
5:17
Speaker 1: to forget that. Eventually they have to go out and
5:18
Speaker 1: play football. And Doug is very much he played. He's
5:24
Speaker 1: a coach's coach. I think Tom Coughlin believes in that
5:28
Speaker 1: as well. You know, the whole thing this team does.
5:31
Speaker 1: They let guys go when they're injured, if their marginals
5:34
Speaker 1: so much more than they did before, and they want
5:38
Speaker 1: to practice, they want to see it on the field,
5:41
Speaker 1: and it's easy to lose sight of that sometimes, and
5:45
Speaker 1: Doug does a great job of always keeping that at
5:47
Speaker 1: the forefront of we've got to remember that, we've got
5:51
Speaker 1: to go tackle. He's always talking about the times that
5:54
Speaker 1: he has seen guys who looked really good out of
5:57
Speaker 1: pads or and then when they got into pad fooled
6:01
Speaker 1: them and all of a sudden they had to go
6:02
Speaker 1: reshape their whole dynamic. At a past job, he told
6:06
Speaker 1: that story many times. He's very aware and walks the
6:10
Speaker 1: walk every day that blocking tackling, there's only so many
6:14
Speaker 1: opportunities to see it. It's very important to him, and
6:18
Speaker 1: the preseason, these four games are the only time they
6:21
Speaker 1: get a chance to do. He the only go live
6:22
Speaker 1: a couple of times, so for him, that's what's important
6:24
Speaker 1: to preseason. That's our first chance to see that. For
6:27
Speaker 1: a lot of the new faces for the Jaguars to
6:29
Speaker 1: including DJ Chark, the rookie wide receiver from Louisiana State
6:33
Speaker 1: who's having a fantastic camp. He's gonna take it over
6:35
Speaker 1: to the game field. On Thursday night, we caught up
6:38
Speaker 1: with Keenan mccartel for the pregame interview tomorrow on the
6:41
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network, and Keenan is fired up about what
6:45
Speaker 1: he's expecting to see from Dj Chart. I think we
6:48
Speaker 1: realized that, you know, the talent that he had, the
6:52
Speaker 1: speed that he has, the size that he has, and
6:54
Speaker 1: that's his ability to attract the ball on a deep
6:57
Speaker 1: ball and stuff like that was was It was evident
7:01
Speaker 1: on film, you know, but what I've seen it was
7:03
Speaker 1: that he's a really good route runner. He's not afraid
7:06
Speaker 1: to catch the ball over the middle, so which I
7:08
Speaker 1: like for him being a big and physical receiver. One
7:11
Speaker 1: good thing that helped him is that, you know, l
7:13
Speaker 1: s U ran a lot of pro style stuff concept wise,
7:17
Speaker 1: and he came in and picked it up very well. Um.
7:20
Speaker 1: You know, I have to pat him on his back
7:21
Speaker 1: because you know, he got in his book and for
7:24
Speaker 1: a young guy, you got it. You need to know
7:26
Speaker 1: where you're going, so you're not thinking about the play
7:29
Speaker 1: and and then have to react and to make a play,
7:32
Speaker 1: you need to know what you're doing. So you can
7:34
Speaker 1: just go out and just go and play play fast.
7:37
Speaker 1: And he's done. He's done that. Here the full conversation
7:39
Speaker 1: with kingdomccardell coming up tomorrow in the Public Tailgate show
7:42
Speaker 1: on Jaguars Radio. Interesting stuff that they ran a lot
7:45
Speaker 1: of pro stuff at l s U. The quarterback play
7:47
Speaker 1: was a little inconsistent, has been over the years down
7:50
Speaker 1: in Baton Rouge. That's why some of the receivers who've
7:52
Speaker 1: played well in the NFL did not fair as well
7:55
Speaker 1: statistically in in college. But he's got the smarts, he's
7:59
Speaker 1: got the side, she's got the ability to be in
8:01
Speaker 1: the right place, and he's making plays everywhere. Well, here's
8:04
Speaker 1: a shock Keena McCardel knows more about wide receivers than
8:07
Speaker 1: John Ozan. Because I've been asked about DJ Chark a
8:10
Speaker 1: million times this week. It seems like because he's been
8:13
Speaker 1: such a topic and I've tried to put into words
8:15
Speaker 1: what I think, Keenan just did a great job with
8:18
Speaker 1: You knew DJ Shark had all the physical stuff and
8:21
Speaker 1: could go and get open deep. It's been impressive to
8:26
Speaker 1: me in the last maybe five or six days of
8:27
Speaker 1: practice is how many times you look out there and
8:30
Speaker 1: DJ Shark is making a eight yard twelve yard catch
8:35
Speaker 1: and making it look easy and doing it routinely, and
8:39
Speaker 1: showing that he can consistently get open on those kind
8:41
Speaker 1: of routes. As much as you'll love the guy's deep speed,
8:45
Speaker 1: at some point in the NFL, you've got to be
8:47
Speaker 1: able to make it easier on your quarterback to throw
8:50
Speaker 1: what should be an easy throw for the quarterback and
8:51
Speaker 1: pick up seven or eight yards and everybody can do it.
8:54
Speaker 1: He has been showing that. He's been showing things as
8:57
Speaker 1: Keenan said that you didn't know the necessarily had, and
9:01
Speaker 1: to me, he's operating at a much higher level in
9:03
Speaker 1: terms of consistency and detail. I'm sure Keenan has many,
9:08
Speaker 1: many more detailed things that he wants from this kid,
9:11
Speaker 1: but he's showing enough early to make you think. Wide receiver,
9:17
Speaker 1: to me, is one of the typest positions to adapt to.
9:19
Speaker 1: I've never seen a wide receiver as good as a
9:21
Speaker 1: rookie as he was going to be in year two,
9:23
Speaker 1: year three. To me, Shark is starting to look like
9:26
Speaker 1: a guy who might be a big time player year two,
9:28
Speaker 1: year three. Some production out of him this year, But
9:31
Speaker 1: this is a guy who might wind up being a one.
9:33
Speaker 1: They certainly thought he was because they wanted him in
9:34
Speaker 1: the first round. Yeah, and they tried to trade back
9:36
Speaker 1: up in the round to get him and couldn't do it,
9:38
Speaker 1: and of course he fell down to the second round.
9:40
Speaker 1: I didn't expect to see as many detail promising things
9:47
Speaker 1: in his first seven or eight days and pads as
9:49
Speaker 1: we have. It's impressive and that all said, like, like
9:51
Speaker 1: Doug just said, let's go see it in the game, though,
9:53
Speaker 1: I gotta go see it with another jersey against you. Yeah.
9:56
Speaker 1: But at at receiver, um, there are some positions where
10:01
Speaker 1: it's less surprising when you see it translate. He's doing
10:05
Speaker 1: it in in pads. Uh, It's surprising when receiver stuff like
10:10
Speaker 1: route running and body control, which I thought he's been
10:12
Speaker 1: showing the last seven or eight days, it's surprising if
10:15
Speaker 1: those things don't translated to pads and into live action. Alright,
10:19
Speaker 1: plenty to get to coming up on Jaguars Happy Hour

12:45
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. How's the equipment room handling all this? Well,
12:47
Speaker 1: we're going, We're going. It's uh, it's been a long
12:50
Speaker 1: camp for us as well as the players. Um, you
12:52
Speaker 1: know we're here all hours of the day, laundry machines
12:55
Speaker 1: running constantly, so trying to keep everybody straight, everything going.
12:59
Speaker 1: You've got ninety airs. You got how many coaches? Now
13:02
Speaker 1: I've lost track of we we count. I count twenty
13:05
Speaker 1: four because I count coach Coughlin and that uh and
13:07
Speaker 1: the strength guys and and his assistant to the head coach.
13:10
Speaker 1: We got like twenty four of those guys. UM, staff galore.
13:14
Speaker 1: We got all kinds of trainers, equipment guys, video guys. UM.
13:19
Speaker 1: So it's it's probably probably about a hundred extra you know,
13:22
Speaker 1: ninety players and then about a hundred other people. So
13:24
Speaker 1: we're doing we're doing quite a bit of laundry and issuing.
13:27
Speaker 1: So I know you're the head guys. So you get
13:29
Speaker 1: in around two what what are they getting in? And uh,
13:37
Speaker 1: we're here a pretty good bit of the day. Um.
13:40
Speaker 1: We we try to rotate around so we don't kill
13:41
Speaker 1: each other and um get tired of seeing each other.
13:44
Speaker 1: But normally have one or two guys come in. That's
13:46
Speaker 1: usually here aby about six in the morning and then um,
13:50
Speaker 1: obviously during training camp we have walked through goes till
13:53
Speaker 1: eight fifty, so it's probably about eleven fifteen before everybody
13:56
Speaker 1: gets out of here. So but we normally we have
13:59
Speaker 1: some guys that go home early and then they come
14:01
Speaker 1: in early the next day, so that hopefully where we're
14:03
Speaker 1: not all tired. It's not ours and shatter no, probably not.
14:08
Speaker 1: How many are on your staff told right now? You
14:11
Speaker 1: bring in guys for the season and for camp and
14:12
Speaker 1: all that. Well, I'm pretty lucky They've allowed me to
14:15
Speaker 1: have a pretty good sized crew. There's four of us
14:17
Speaker 1: that are full time, and then uh, we have like
14:21
Speaker 1: four guys that are like season long interns. And then
14:24
Speaker 1: I've got three extra guys that that will come in
14:26
Speaker 1: for just for training camp, college kids, and then we've
14:29
Speaker 1: got some local kids that come in and help us
14:31
Speaker 1: out after school and things like that. Here and there.
14:33
Speaker 1: Very cool man, that's a that's a it's a lot
14:35
Speaker 1: going on down there in equipment room. You ever walked
14:37
Speaker 1: through there, it's always a beehive of activity. Occasionally we
14:41
Speaker 1: get a few, uh, Mike perkins Son, he comes through
14:43
Speaker 1: every now and then Coach when I Coach Coughlin's grandsons
14:46
Speaker 1: came through and helped us out for a little bit,
14:47
Speaker 1: so it was it's cool, we have a good time. Okay.
14:49
Speaker 1: The reason for this segment, which will have on some
14:53
Speaker 1: of these shows, We're not exactly sure when each game week,
14:57
Speaker 1: but we're going to unveil what the Jaguars are going
15:00
Speaker 1: to wear the next game, and Jimmy, you're gonna be
15:02
Speaker 1: here most of those weeks, right, Yeah, we'll try to
15:04
Speaker 1: get it going on here, trying to make it kind
15:07
Speaker 1: of a neat little segment and hopefully something cool that
15:09
Speaker 1: people want to tune in and watch. Well, you're gonna
15:11
Speaker 1: be a TV star at some point, I mean, so,
15:14
Speaker 1: how do you go about determining or is it one
15:17
Speaker 1: person determining what the Jaguars wear? Now it's there's a
15:20
Speaker 1: couple of us. Um, I'll normally I'll lay out an
15:23
Speaker 1: outline on what we want to do and then I'll
15:25
Speaker 1: kind of run it up the chain with with Dave
15:28
Speaker 1: and Doug and obviously Coach Coughlin approves it. So um,
15:32
Speaker 1: it's uh, you know, we we try to do it,
15:34
Speaker 1: you know a little bit of a you know, hey,
15:36
Speaker 1: when we're going to London, we've traditionally worn black on
15:38
Speaker 1: black there, Um, we normally wear white early at home
15:42
Speaker 1: because it's so hot. So there's a few of those
15:44
Speaker 1: little parameters in there that we kind of follow. And then, um,
15:48
Speaker 1: you know there's some unique things when you know, Tampa
15:50
Speaker 1: does the same thing when we go there. They like
15:52
Speaker 1: wearing white early, so we end up having to wear
15:54
Speaker 1: something dark. So um, and then color rushes is something
15:57
Speaker 1: that's kind of new to the league. True. Um, So
16:00
Speaker 1: you just kind of lay it all out and see
16:01
Speaker 1: how it happens and hopefully everybody enjoys what we wear. Okay,
16:05
Speaker 1: let's get to it the moment we've all been waiting
16:08
Speaker 1: for the unveiling. Let's start with. You have the socks.
16:11
Speaker 1: So the socks are new this year. Um, got the
16:13
Speaker 1: little feel stripe in it. Very nice. Hold them out.
16:16
Speaker 1: See those are there, So that's something that's kind of new.
16:19
Speaker 1: We've just traditionally had the black that came down to
16:22
Speaker 1: the white, and we did that, so so that's something
16:25
Speaker 1: kind of neat and new. They come in size twelve
16:27
Speaker 1: and a half. They do a teen and eighteen, so
16:31
Speaker 1: we can get calais and shoes. Okay, the pants for
16:35
Speaker 1: Thursty pants, these are you know, obviously the new pants.
16:37
Speaker 1: Probably if you've seen anything on the unveil, they're pretty basic,
16:41
Speaker 1: all white, got the teal swoosh or blistering as Nike
16:44
Speaker 1: calls it. And then on the back we have just
16:46
Speaker 1: like a little small insert of black, so all the
16:50
Speaker 1: pants have a little insert on the back. Obviously we're
16:52
Speaker 1: in the white with the black insert white pants tomorrow night,
16:56
Speaker 1: so they could get a little dirty. That may make
16:58
Speaker 1: a longer night tomorrow night, probably so. And now just

Speaker 1: It's Jaguars Happy. I are presented by Fields Auto Group

Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Digital Network. Duval Motor Company was found

19:24
Speaker 1: proud to be Dufal Motor Company. All right, this is Tony. Basally,
19:31
Speaker 1: It's no secret that I love the sandwiches at Daily's Dash.
19:34
Speaker 1: But there's one sandwich that stands above the rest of
19:37
Speaker 1: them and keeps me coming back over and over again.
19:40
Speaker 1: It's called the Boss. They pile that bad boy with
19:43
Speaker 1: lots of roast beef, munster cheese, roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions,
19:47
Speaker 1: and of course some Dash sauce. Which as much as
19:49
Speaker 1: I traveled during football season, this sandwich is one more
19:52
Speaker 1: thing that makes me eager to get back to Jacksonville.
19:54
Speaker 1: I could eat the Boss every day Dailies, a local
19:58
Speaker 1: Jacksonville company. It's nice are here. We continue on Jaguars
20:05
Speaker 1: Happy Our presented by Fields Auto Group. A nice look
20:08
Speaker 1: at t I A a bank field all painted and
20:11
Speaker 1: ready to go to mar night the Jags in the
20:13
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints to seven o'clock kickoff time for the
20:16
Speaker 1: preseason opening. We're here again, finally. It seemed like the
20:20
Speaker 1: offseason went that slow this year. It kind of moved
20:24
Speaker 1: fast because the playoffs and then even after O T
20:28
Speaker 1: S I mean that six week period when they were
20:30
Speaker 1: gone just was here. It is again. As you get older,
20:34
Speaker 1: JP starts going by faster. Welcome to life. You know.
20:38
Speaker 1: The Saints are coming in here and much like the
20:41
Speaker 1: Jaguars at the end of the playoffs last year had
20:44
Speaker 1: a disappointing loss at the end. The Jags fell on
20:46
Speaker 1: the ANFC Championship game, of course to the Patriots. But boy,
20:49
Speaker 1: the Saints went to Minneapolis and lost in the Minneapolis
20:53
Speaker 1: Miracle to get knocked out of the player and they
20:55
Speaker 1: were down seventeen nothing in that game, rallied to take
20:58
Speaker 1: the lead and then lost one of the most improbable
21:01
Speaker 1: players you'll see in in any football game, especially in
21:04
Speaker 1: the postseason. It's a it's a rough way to end
21:07
Speaker 1: the postseason run, but you get the field and the
21:10
Speaker 1: Saints are gonna be around. When you have number nine
21:13
Speaker 1: back there slinging it around passer, that's you're not gonna
21:17
Speaker 1: lose many football games well. And they've done a remarkable
21:19
Speaker 1: thing in the sense that often teams and coaches and
21:23
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have one run in him, you know, and you
21:27
Speaker 1: sort of peak. Then you go down in the Saints
21:29
Speaker 1: member one super Bowl oh nine with Sean Payton and
21:32
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, and Peyton is still there. Get the idea
21:37
Speaker 1: that he is, you know, forever linked to New Orleans.
21:42
Speaker 1: Doug talked about what the city meant to him, having
21:46
Speaker 1: been with Sean Payton when they first started what the
21:49
Speaker 1: post Katrina, then being involved with that and when he
21:53
Speaker 1: was saying that, I really thought, you know, Sean Payton,
21:56
Speaker 1: Drew Brees or guys that will be New Orleans forever.
21:59
Speaker 1: So it's kind of fitting that they've been around to
22:01
Speaker 1: bring this thing back. And it feels like they're maybe
22:05
Speaker 1: like the Broncos with l way back in the nineties,
22:09
Speaker 1: are peaking late in Drew Brees career again and giving
22:14
Speaker 1: him a chance to at a advanced age, have a
22:19
Speaker 1: second playoff renaissance run if you will. Uh, they certainly
22:24
Speaker 1: look like a young team now around Breeze. They can
22:27
Speaker 1: be contenders for a couple of years. He's got a
22:29
Speaker 1: run game around him. Now. First of all, that's that's
22:31
Speaker 1: like the Broncos did with Throughout Davis. No doubt the
22:34
Speaker 1: same exact set up there. But he's thirty nine years
22:36
Speaker 1: old now. When he was thirty eight he threw which
22:40
Speaker 1: was that's the league record yards and change. His touchdown
22:44
Speaker 1: numbers are down a bit, but you you spread the
22:46
Speaker 1: wealth with two great running backs in Ingram and Alvin Camaro,
22:49
Speaker 1: who had a fantastic rookie season, a big threat out
22:53
Speaker 1: of the backfield as a receiver as well. So you
22:55
Speaker 1: throw all that together, you're at a couple of draft
22:57
Speaker 1: picks and guess what the offense is gonna be? What
23:00
Speaker 1: it is. Sherwin Brees was gonna sign somewhere else, and
23:02
Speaker 1: he was the hot guy and he was gonna there
23:05
Speaker 1: was no way he was going to leave New Orleans.
23:07
Speaker 1: He should finish his career there, and it again, as
23:11
Speaker 1: you said, certainly feels like they have a structure around
23:15
Speaker 1: him where he doesn't have to do as much as
23:17
Speaker 1: maybe he was doing three or four years ago going
23:19
Speaker 1: down field with all the big plays. They looked at
23:21
Speaker 1: me like a team that could be facing the Jag
23:24
Speaker 1: Wars in this year. Oh, listen to you. Is that
23:27
Speaker 1: a lock? You want to lock them? I don't like that.
23:29
Speaker 1: I'll leave that to the big guy. Okay, we'll wait
23:32
Speaker 1: for Monday's for that one the biggest of big guys.
23:38
Speaker 1: We had a chance earlier to catch up with Deuce McAllister.
23:40
Speaker 1: He's a former running back in the NFL, of course,
23:43
Speaker 1: eight years two Pro Bowls with the Saints. He's now
23:47
Speaker 1: the analysts for the Saints radio network. A preview of
23:49
Speaker 1: the interview here tomorrow in the Public's Tailgate Show, and
23:52
Speaker 1: we start with that talk about how they rebound from
23:55
Speaker 1: the Minneapolis miracle. Let's start, though, with the way things
23:59
Speaker 1: in it last season for both of these teams. Really,
24:01
Speaker 1: the Jags finished in the NFC Championship Game with a
24:04
Speaker 1: tough loss in New England. The Saints, though, we're on
24:07
Speaker 1: the bad end of the Minneapolis miracle to end last season.
24:11
Speaker 1: Is the team passed? It is the city pass it.
24:13
Speaker 1: What's the field right now? Going into eight team for
24:16
Speaker 1: the Saints, you've got to imagine they are as far
24:19
Speaker 1: as being passed. Oh until you go out and actually
24:22
Speaker 1: play the game again. Then that's where you can count
24:25
Speaker 1: and try to remedy. I think it's still gonna linger
24:29
Speaker 1: with some of the fans for a while just because
24:31
Speaker 1: you're that close. I mean you're talking about eleven seconds
24:34
Speaker 1: left in a ball game where it advances you to
24:36
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game. So for the players, I think
24:39
Speaker 1: they've put it past them. I think it will obviously
24:42
Speaker 1: help for them to be able to go out and
24:43
Speaker 1: play a game also though, so they can try to
24:47
Speaker 1: make amends for it. YEA. And Marcus Williams is the
24:49
Speaker 1: one that really stands out the safety on that play
24:52
Speaker 1: now going into his second season. Uh, he says, at
24:55
Speaker 1: least reading about it, that he's put it past it.
24:57
Speaker 1: He's trying not to think about it. He's just ready
24:59
Speaker 1: to play up ball. Do you think that's the case
25:01
Speaker 1: with him? If you're gonna judge one player and say, Okay,
25:05
Speaker 1: who's your camp m v P up until this point,
25:08
Speaker 1: even going back to O. T. A. S and minicamp,
25:10
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Marcus Williams. I mean, the young man
25:12
Speaker 1: has been tremendous. He's been outstanding and just showing range
25:16
Speaker 1: in coverage and really expanding on a strong year as
25:20
Speaker 1: a rookie already. I mean he's talking about a young
25:23
Speaker 1: man that has right at a five intersets as he
25:26
Speaker 1: had another one in that Minnesota game. So for him,
25:29
Speaker 1: he just he wants to move fast and it's the
25:31
Speaker 1: only way that he can really be able to go
25:33
Speaker 1: and do so is playing the game and making some plays.
25:35
Speaker 1: And so for him it still maybe there from a
25:38
Speaker 1: mental standpoint at a certain time, but he's really been
25:42
Speaker 1: impressive to watch throughout training camp as well as though
25:45
Speaker 1: to O t as McAllister with us from the Saints
25:48
Speaker 1: Radio Network, two time Pro bowler eight seasons in New
25:52
Speaker 1: Orleans as a running back, Well, when you have Drew Brees,
25:55
Speaker 1: you always have a chance. He's thirty nine years old,
25:58
Speaker 1: he threw for seven two percent passing last year. Doesn't
26:03
Speaker 1: seem to be slowing down. He has a new contract
26:05
Speaker 1: to go with that. How long is Drew Brees gonna play?
26:08
Speaker 1: And can you really handicap that right now? I think
26:13
Speaker 1: you can't really handicap it. Just because each year it's
26:16
Speaker 1: been more impressive to see him go out and perform
26:19
Speaker 1: at such a high level. And I think one of
26:20
Speaker 1: the things that they've obviously done to help Drew to
26:23
Speaker 1: take some of that pressure off was bringing in Alvin
26:26
Speaker 1: Camara and strengthening that offensive line with a Larry Wolford
26:29
Speaker 1: and Ryan ramcheck Uh and Andrew Speak. Those are all
26:32
Speaker 1: guys that they've brought in within the last couple of years,
26:36
Speaker 1: and it's really, hey, look, you know, Drew may not
26:39
Speaker 1: be able to throw for five thousand yards for us,
26:41
Speaker 1: but maybe a little less of Drew means a more
26:45
Speaker 1: complete team. And so you you have mark ingram that
26:48
Speaker 1: is able to go over a thousand yards. You have
26:50
Speaker 1: Alvin Camara, who who is a jack of all trades
26:53
Speaker 1: that you can split them out wide, you can use
26:55
Speaker 1: them as a traditional running back. It's just giving him
26:58
Speaker 1: more weapons. And so for through us, just tell it,
27:01
Speaker 1: I'm taking it one year at a time. I'm not
27:03
Speaker 1: focused on X y Z. I'm gonna see how I
27:07
Speaker 1: play this year and then we can reevaluate things after that.
27:10
Speaker 1: You mentioned Camara there duced total yards are so last
27:14
Speaker 1: season thirteen total touchdowns as a rookie. I mean, this
27:18
Speaker 1: guy came in, you know, third round pickers so and
27:22
Speaker 1: and just lit the place up and the Superdome was fantastic.
27:25
Speaker 1: How does he build on that? What can he do more?
27:27
Speaker 1: I know he'll have four extra games where mark Ingram's
27:30
Speaker 1: out with suspension early in the season. But what's the
27:33
Speaker 1: next step for Camara? The next step for him has
27:38
Speaker 1: to be too compete against itself. And when I say that,
27:41
Speaker 1: it's not being complacent, not being complacent with what happened
27:45
Speaker 1: last year. It's a new year. Teams will play you different.
27:48
Speaker 1: The looks that you saw from defenses won't be the same.
27:51
Speaker 1: The way that defenders play you as far as a
27:53
Speaker 1: receiver is concerned, won't be the same. So for him,
27:56
Speaker 1: just go out and be yourself. I mean, because in
27:59
Speaker 1: this offense, he is not going to be asked to
28:01
Speaker 1: do everything. There's enough weapons around him that he can
28:05
Speaker 1: go out and just be himself. And if he does that,
28:08
Speaker 1: it may not be that hundred yards and thirteen touchdowns,
28:11
Speaker 1: but it's probably gonna be pretty close. There's duce McAllister,
28:14
Speaker 1: analysts for the Saints Radio Network. Here. The full visit
28:17
Speaker 1: with Deuce coming up tomorrow. Evening on the Public's Tailgate Show.
28:21
Speaker 1: Obviously a great college running back, had a eight year
28:25
Speaker 1: career in the NFL, two Pro Bowls in New Orleans
28:28
Speaker 1: and uh he was in the running for the Heisman
28:30
Speaker 1: at one point in his last year at Old Miss,
28:32
Speaker 1: but a great career down in New Orleans as well.
28:34
Speaker 1: And now as the analyst since the passing of Hokey
28:37
Speaker 1: Guy John, he's now the analysts for Saints Radio the
28:40
Speaker 1: last couple of years. Interesting stuff there. I mean, they've got,
28:42
Speaker 1: like we mentioned before, Alvin Camaro when he came into
28:45
Speaker 1: this league, you know, third round pick, You know, what
28:47
Speaker 1: do you expect he might have some plays with the
28:50
Speaker 1: guy comes out with like dred all purpose yards or
28:53
Speaker 1: at least combined yards receiving and rushing, puts up thirteen
28:57
Speaker 1: touchdowns in his rookie season. It doesn't get much other
29:00
Speaker 1: than that. Well, and completely changed along with uh yeah,
29:08
Speaker 1: I completly changed the way they played last year. I
29:09
Speaker 1: mean this was a team that went from for years,
29:13
Speaker 1: even when they won the Super Bowl with Drew Brees
29:16
Speaker 1: was a pass first. They were defined by Brees play
29:20
Speaker 1: action looking deep down the same as good as that
29:24
Speaker 1: at that throw as anybody they were defined by that
29:27
Speaker 1: and sort of defined by these shootout games where often
29:31
Speaker 1: the defense couldn't hold the lead, and redefined themselves as
29:36
Speaker 1: a team that could run, very similar to the Jaguars
29:39
Speaker 1: team in two thousand seven when they ran at will
29:44
Speaker 1: and ran their way into the playoffs. I don't think
29:47
Speaker 1: anybody expected a Saints team with Seawan Payton to be
29:50
Speaker 1: that kind of a team, and yet they've changed their
29:52
Speaker 1: identity and probably extended Breez's career for a couple of years.
29:56
Speaker 1: You would think, and I give themselves a chance to
29:58
Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl. I guess just guessing here.
30:00
Speaker 1: Haven't seen any reports out of New Orleans yet, but
30:02
Speaker 1: we might not see Drew if if a drive. You know,
30:06
Speaker 1: that's just how why would you? Yeah, I mean you
30:09
Speaker 1: might play him for a series. And then as soon
30:11
Speaker 1: as you start talking about playing for a series, you say,
30:13
Speaker 1: why would I play him a series? Pretty good, you
30:14
Speaker 1: know what I mean? So why would I bother doing
30:17
Speaker 1: that if I'm playing for a series. So the trend
30:21
Speaker 1: has been for fifteen years now, nobody plays in the
30:25
Speaker 1: fourth game. Well, the trend has been more toward the elite.
30:28
Speaker 1: Elite guy at quarterback doesn't play in the first game,
30:31
Speaker 1: so you may not see that interesting stuff in their
30:33
Speaker 1: first round pick. The defensive end they traded up for
30:36
Speaker 1: from Texas San Antonio, Marcus Davenports has been banged up
30:39
Speaker 1: a bit in camp, so you may not even see
30:41
Speaker 1: him Thursday night. I think he's missed more time than
30:43
Speaker 1: he's been on the field with some uh, some muscle issues,
30:46
Speaker 1: a couple of polls. So we'll see what happens tomorrow
30:50
Speaker 1: night when the New Orleans Saints come to town. They're
30:51
Speaker 1: traveling today, they'll be ready for the game tomorrow night.
30:54
Speaker 1: And then of course next week the Jags head to
30:57
Speaker 1: Minneapolis john another dual practice against the Minnesota Viking. Those guys, yeah,
31:02
Speaker 1: the team that beat the sum And interesting in that
31:07
Speaker 1: because they play on Saturday and we're going up there
31:10
Speaker 1: for the dual practice turns into a really long extended
31:13
Speaker 1: week because you're playing Thursday this week. So I'm sure
31:15
Speaker 1: by design or you know, the way Doug Moron would
31:19
Speaker 1: like it, a short week this week, but one last
31:23
Speaker 1: week next week against the Vikings of extended work where
31:26
Speaker 1: it will feel very much like a training camp, practice
31:30
Speaker 1: oriented week. The following week being the third preseason game,
31:34
Speaker 1: turns into much more of a game plan. Let's get
31:37
Speaker 1: ready for a dress rehearsal type game. So this next
31:40
Speaker 1: week against Minnesota is the last time to sort of
31:43
Speaker 1: go through that camp. Let's work on specific things mentality,
31:47
Speaker 1: start game planning. The next week, the team will have
31:49
Speaker 1: off on Friday and then back on the practice field
31:51
Speaker 1: here in Jacksonville Saturday and Sunday and Monday and even
31:55
Speaker 1: I think early Tuesday, before heading up to Minneapolis that
31:58
Speaker 1: afternoon and evening and Wednesday Thursday on the field in
32:02
Speaker 1: the Twin Cities. We'll come back in a moment and
32:05
Speaker 1: we're gonna delve into the deep tracks. We're going deep hit.
32:09
Speaker 1: We're not going for the hit, We're going deep into
32:12
Speaker 1: the album too, to see if we can find some

33:59
Speaker 1: My Fields Auto Group, j P Shadrick, John Osier and
34:03
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey with a fantastic interception earlier this week at practice.
34:08
Speaker 1: I guess those days away from the team are forgotten now, Johnny. Yeah,
34:13
Speaker 1: and he's a fantastic cornerback okay hunter. But it wasn't
34:20
Speaker 1: a bad punt. I mean, what is that a bad punt? Um?
34:25
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's rare. When I was in Indianapolis,
34:29
Speaker 1: we used to talk about how you often saw Marvin
34:33
Speaker 1: Harrison do things in practice that you were He said
34:38
Speaker 1: his great people thought he was. If you if you
34:40
Speaker 1: saw him practice, he'd be even more impressed because he
34:42
Speaker 1: did things in practice that we're astonishing. Uh. That was
34:47
Speaker 1: that sort of play Hall and I talk about Hall
34:49
Speaker 1: of Fame guy with that. Uh, you don't often hear
34:56
Speaker 1: even in practice the opponent just sort of talk about
35:01
Speaker 1: how unbelievable a play was and how unbelievable athletically a
35:05
Speaker 1: guy is. And after you play, Moncreave said, I hooked him. Um,
35:09
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be able to make that sort of a play,
35:12
Speaker 1: And that was a great shot by Patrick Havanaugh of
35:16
Speaker 1: that interception. What was lost in it though, when it
35:18
Speaker 1: slowed down like that, you don't really realize how quickly
35:22
Speaker 1: Jalen reacted to the bat down and it was able
35:25
Speaker 1: to get his hands out and catch it. There was
35:26
Speaker 1: it was and fraction was second. It was slowed down
35:30
Speaker 1: because I'm sure Peak have wanted everybody to see what
35:32
Speaker 1: a great shot, but in real time you couldn't believe
35:38
Speaker 1: he made the catch and it was it was Jalen
35:41
Speaker 1: b and Jail. You know the thing I've noticed earlier
35:44
Speaker 1: in the week, there was a moment in practice where
35:47
Speaker 1: it was it tells you the personality of this defense,
35:50
Speaker 1: especially it was seven on seven. Moved the ball and
35:53
Speaker 1: Blake throws a touchdown past two um James O'Shaughnessy and
35:57
Speaker 1: he jumps over a guy and he goes all the
35:59
Speaker 1: way from a touchdown. So, alright, first team is supposed
36:01
Speaker 1: to come off the field, it comes the second team. Well,
36:03
Speaker 1: first team defense was having none, no, no, get off
36:05
Speaker 1: the field. We're staying out of here. Get out. They
36:08
Speaker 1: had to just shoot him off the field and go
36:10
Speaker 1: at it again. I mean, that's what this defense wants
36:12
Speaker 1: to be. And Jalen is part of that. Miles Jack
36:14
Speaker 1: had a big hand in that moment of keeping that
36:17
Speaker 1: first team defense out there to go at it again.
36:19
Speaker 1: They didn't give up a touchdown the next time. It
36:21
Speaker 1: was interesting you mentioned Miles. There was a time in
36:23
Speaker 1: that practice on Sunday when they were going at it
36:25
Speaker 1: and it was it was probably the peak of the
36:27
Speaker 1: dog days of this camp, and Doug brought him up
36:32
Speaker 1: and they went back out in the field and Jalen
36:35
Speaker 1: is jumping up and I mean, I'm sorry, Miles is
36:37
Speaker 1: jumping up and down and getting guys going, and you
36:45
Speaker 1: it's tough to fake that moment when you're that hot
36:50
Speaker 1: and you've been given that much. And it's sort of
36:54
Speaker 1: personified what they've been saying all along and his whole
36:57
Speaker 1: storyline we've all had. This defense wants to be great.
37:01
Speaker 1: They have a notion of, you know, you can work
37:05
Speaker 1: us as hard as you want, Doug, but we're gonna
37:07
Speaker 1: work hard because it's it's ourselves. And Todd wash said
37:10
Speaker 1: something about them owning it this week, and it really
37:14
Speaker 1: feels like they do. They expect themselves to be great.
37:16
Speaker 1: There's no they know there are things they didn't do
37:19
Speaker 1: last year to prevent them from being considered great, and
37:22
Speaker 1: they know they have to win a super Bowl to
37:23
Speaker 1: be considered that. So um, it just feels like this
37:27
Speaker 1: team can't wait to get out and show people that
37:34
Speaker 1: they're right about how good they can be. And that's
37:37
Speaker 1: you know, it's not something that always comes together. Every
37:40
Speaker 1: team wants to be good in training camp, but you
37:43
Speaker 1: don't always get everything coming together like it feels like
37:46
Speaker 1: it's it's coming together for this team in particularly this defense. Okay,
37:51
Speaker 1: coming up at Daily's Place. Busy schedule as the summer,
37:55
Speaker 1: I guess kind of draws towards an end. It's August,
37:58
Speaker 1: right when the summer over a fit October uh July
38:03
Speaker 1: six for me, vaccasions over. But it's getting heating up,
38:09
Speaker 1: heating up on the south end of EverBank, oh t
38:12
Speaker 1: i a bank Field Daily's Place. Whe Is Khalifa coming up? August?
38:17
Speaker 1: Jason Mraz August seventeenth, Lindsey startling in Evan essence August
38:22
Speaker 1: and Jeff Beck and Paul Rogers auguste. Ticket to Dailies
38:27
Speaker 1: Place dot com. You're going to any of those, I'll
38:29
Speaker 1: age myself, and I'll admit that I haven't the foggiest
38:32
Speaker 1: notion who those first six people are, but I know
38:34
Speaker 1: exactly who. That's where I'm man, I'm fifty two. That's
38:41
Speaker 1: my wheelhouse. I didn't bring it up, I didn't ask. Yeah,
38:46
Speaker 1: I can accept you. I am. This is a segment
38:48
Speaker 1: we're gonna call Deep Tracks, and we'll have it on
38:51
Speaker 1: this program. Kind of digging deep this week. It's digging
38:57
Speaker 1: deep on what players you're going to see tomorrow night,
39:00
Speaker 1: maybe for a lot of the football game now. Other
39:02
Speaker 1: weeks it could be a deep statistic or a deep
39:05
Speaker 1: deep you know, a deep thought. Maybe we'll get to
39:10
Speaker 1: that when we get to that a little later in
39:11
Speaker 1: the season. Today, I don't know if you could if
39:13
Speaker 1: you could hear that John first of all the intro
39:15
Speaker 1: music we had, Joe, if you could crank this the
39:20
Speaker 1: opening for Deep Tracks, this could be right in the
39:25
Speaker 1: wheelhouse as well. It's a Deep Tracks. Wheah, I anticipated
39:32
Speaker 1: deep purple. This is not it's not I'm lost on
39:37
Speaker 1: Mu's not be Jeff Becker. That is not Jeff Becker. Paul,
39:40
Speaker 1: this is blind faith had to cry today. Clapton and
39:43
Speaker 1: Winwood and all the rest deep track. It's a deep
39:47
Speaker 1: track I could have picked out later. Okay, well there's
39:51
Speaker 1: a different band, Alloge. Yeah, let's get us some deep tracks.
39:56
Speaker 1: I'll start with mine. I'll pick five guys to watch
39:58
Speaker 1: tomorrow night, and some these you'll see in the game program.
40:01
Speaker 1: To Barnett as well, it was written, Uh, start with
40:03
Speaker 1: the quarterback Cody Kessler. You know, you know about Blake
40:07
Speaker 1: and you know what he's gonna be, and he's got
40:09
Speaker 1: the contract. Kessler is a big one tomorrow night. Can
40:12
Speaker 1: he be the backup quarterback here? There's been some questions
40:15
Speaker 1: about that. Rashad Green Senior, big year for him. Contract
40:18
Speaker 1: year has been banged up the last couple of seasons.
40:20
Speaker 1: He's had his moments in camp. Let's see what he
40:22
Speaker 1: can do. What's the fourth running back situation? Will they
40:26
Speaker 1: have a fourth? Tim Cook? Could he be the guy?
40:29
Speaker 1: He's big enough, He's got the big body to do it.
40:32
Speaker 1: He was on the i R last year on practice squad.
40:35
Speaker 1: Who is Leon Jacobs? Well, he could be the starting
40:37
Speaker 1: strong side linebacker for this football team. You know about
40:40
Speaker 1: his weight room prowess, you know about the draft pick
40:42
Speaker 1: this year. And then Ronnie Harrison has been flashing in
40:47
Speaker 1: camp at that safety position, could be the strong safety
40:50
Speaker 1: of the future. But could they put him on the
40:52
Speaker 1: field little earlier? And John, I've got a bonus one
40:54
Speaker 1: for you, Carson Tinker. Oh, indeed, coming back off a
40:59
Speaker 1: knee injury, you missed all of last season, his first
41:02
Speaker 1: real game action. So congrats to Carson Tinker to get
41:05
Speaker 1: back on the field tomorrow and five. And for people
41:07
Speaker 1: who follow such things, which I'm sure there are long
41:10
Speaker 1: snapper junkies out there, Uh takes the only long snapper
41:12
Speaker 1: on the roster, So credit to him, as you say,
41:15
Speaker 1: miss last season with an a c L and everyone
41:18
Speaker 1: has made it through and it looks like he's made
41:20
Speaker 1: the long snapper again. Good for him. Let's get we'll
41:23
Speaker 1: get to yours coming up at this moment. But a
41:24
Speaker 1: little more on Kessler here, a conditional seventh round pick
41:28
Speaker 1: in the trade, so they didn't give up a lot
41:30
Speaker 1: to get him. But what have you seen out of
41:33
Speaker 1: Kessler so far? It's kind of hard to tell. Well,
41:35
Speaker 1: it's it's uh. There needs to be an undercurrent of
41:38
Speaker 1: sort of Kessler bashing Uh, And I sort of like
41:43
Speaker 1: what I've seen. There's been times where he think he's
41:46
Speaker 1: throwing the ball. Well, it looks like in the last
41:48
Speaker 1: two or three days he's making more and more plays.
41:52
Speaker 1: I think there is an element with a new quarterback
41:55
Speaker 1: coming in where you have to be careful of completely
41:57
Speaker 1: writing him off. He he's learning the system. He's Uh.
42:03
Speaker 1: Whenever Nate Hacketts talked about him, he's talked about there
42:06
Speaker 1: are certain things fundamentally that they really want their quarterbacks
42:10
Speaker 1: to do that he's having to adjust to. It looks
42:13
Speaker 1: perhaps in the last two or three days like he's
42:15
Speaker 1: adjusting that a little better. I've seen more accuracy from him.
42:18
Speaker 1: It looks like better decision making and faster decision making. Uh.
42:22
Speaker 1: Certainly more things to like in the last week about
42:25
Speaker 1: Kessler than in that in those first couple of days. Um.
42:30
Speaker 1: I think you know, Doug Maron's m O has been
42:34
Speaker 1: to act and talk the well, you know, the talk
42:38
Speaker 1: of they like to bring guys up who are in
42:43
Speaker 1: their system. You know, they're not a big go outside
42:46
Speaker 1: the organization and get a guy. So I think he's
42:50
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback, and so he needs to use these
42:53
Speaker 1: three games or these four games, expecting to play a
42:56
Speaker 1: lot in the finale, but he needs to use this
42:58
Speaker 1: time to show himself and the team that he's ready
43:03
Speaker 1: for that in case the unspeakable appens. Leon Jacobs another
43:06
Speaker 1: one there, John, who was, uh, we saw the draft
43:09
Speaker 1: pick late. Um, we've seen the photos of him in
43:13
Speaker 1: the waiting room in college, and we've seen him now
43:15
Speaker 1: on the practice field for the Jaguars, and by build,
43:19
Speaker 1: he kind of fits what they want at that strong
43:21
Speaker 1: side position, and I think the red flag on him
43:26
Speaker 1: would would have been had okay, you put him in.
43:30
Speaker 1: And then they're talking things like, well, it's gonna take
43:36
Speaker 1: time for a rookie to pick up the defense. You know,
43:39
Speaker 1: if you were hearing things like that from players, then
43:42
Speaker 1: you would think, okay, maybe this is something they need
43:44
Speaker 1: to address. Well, physically, he's got it. He looks the
43:48
Speaker 1: part in terms of being able to set the edge
43:50
Speaker 1: over on that strong side position, and you're hearing players
43:54
Speaker 1: go out of their way. Miles Jack this week went
43:57
Speaker 1: out of his way to say, this kid knows the offense.
44:02
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's the defense. He's further ahead
44:04
Speaker 1: than I was. And I was basically saying, look, he's
44:08
Speaker 1: smarter than I was at this point, and he's picking
44:10
Speaker 1: up faster. When you're hearing that, along with the athletic ability,
44:14
Speaker 1: it certainly makes me think at least at that strong
44:16
Speaker 1: side position where they're not going to ask a lot
44:18
Speaker 1: out of them mentally in terms of, hey, you've got
44:21
Speaker 1: to be able to see things before the play. Basically
44:24
Speaker 1: he has to look over at Miles and I was
44:26
Speaker 1: gonna tell him, Okay, go over here. I think he's
44:28
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. I'd be surprised at this point if
44:30
Speaker 1: he doesn't start the interesting stuff. Those are Those are
44:32
Speaker 1: my five the deep tracks, the Shadrick deep tracks for
44:36
Speaker 1: New Orleans and Jacksonville, and now let's go to the
44:39
Speaker 1: John Oshan deep tracks. You've got five that you've picked.
44:42
Speaker 1: And when we start off with quarterback Blake Bortles, you've
44:46
Speaker 1: got you know it's on my phone, but go ahead
44:49
Speaker 1: and read because I see it. It's on a graphic.
44:51
Speaker 1: Now it's Blake Bortles is the first for obvious reason.
44:55
Speaker 1: I mean, as good as he's looked, Uh, there's still
44:59
Speaker 1: skepticism amongs some fans. So you would love, for Blake's sake,
45:02
Speaker 1: se him come out and have a good couple of series.
45:04
Speaker 1: Look like that calm guy Shane Wynn has shown up
45:08
Speaker 1: during the preces. I mean during the training camp. Uh,
45:11
Speaker 1: done as much as any receiver of his size and
45:15
Speaker 1: his resume, if you will, could possibly do. And you
45:19
Speaker 1: wonder if he's not playing his way into forcing his
45:21
Speaker 1: way onto this team. Trey Herndon, a cornerback, a rookie
45:25
Speaker 1: free agent. Uh, they like his length. He's one of
45:29
Speaker 1: those guys. Doug Marrone talked, there's always a guy who
45:32
Speaker 1: looks good in camp doesn't look good in the games,
45:35
Speaker 1: and vice versa. If he looks as good in the
45:38
Speaker 1: games as he has in camp so far, he's on
45:40
Speaker 1: this team. Logan Cook, I think we've mentioned a phenomenal
45:44
Speaker 1: night in the family night practice. That's really only the
45:47
Speaker 1: only thing we have to gauge him on. Um. They
45:50
Speaker 1: really wanted to improve the punning situation. They wanted a
45:54
Speaker 1: guy who could flip the field and clutch situations. He
45:58
Speaker 1: looked the part the other night. Now, looking the part
46:00
Speaker 1: as a punter in front of a five hour in
46:03
Speaker 1: front of fifteen thousand fans in a glamorous scrimmage is
46:07
Speaker 1: different than doing it in the postseason when the lights
46:11
Speaker 1: are on. Looks the part so far? Hunter Dimmock, You
46:14
Speaker 1: wonder he has looked good. Uh. He has drawn some
46:19
Speaker 1: praise when you talk to people about the edge rusher.
46:22
Speaker 1: Could he play his way into being that third edge rusher? Uh?
46:26
Speaker 1: Could he be on the roster in that Week one
46:28
Speaker 1: when Dante Fowler won't be on the field. Um, he's
46:34
Speaker 1: got a chance. And the preseason for a guy like that,
46:38
Speaker 1: you want to see production out of a spot like that.
46:42
Speaker 1: And with Dante Faller not being there to play, he's
46:45
Speaker 1: certainly going to get opportunities. A guy worth watching. And
46:48
Speaker 1: he was on the practice squad. He's got respect in
46:50
Speaker 1: that room, that's for sure. And and I remember Clays
46:52
Speaker 1: Campbell his first media availability of camp pointed out Demick
46:57
Speaker 1: because I gotta watch now. Sometimes with edge p it's
47:00
Speaker 1: tough because once Week one rolls around, are you willing
47:04
Speaker 1: to go with the guy that she's sort of like
47:06
Speaker 1: but haven't seen him do it before? Or are you
47:09
Speaker 1: gonna go with bigger, strong side type ends who you
47:12
Speaker 1: trust and have been through the fire before, needs to
47:15
Speaker 1: really show up to play his way into the conference
47:18
Speaker 1: level of the coaches, you would think we're taking a
47:19
Speaker 1: look at Shane Wynn here, the wide receiver who was
47:22
Speaker 1: banged up last year play every day. It seems like it, right.
47:26
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a shorter receiver. He can he can move,
47:30
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that. And you know this team
47:34
Speaker 1: has big and they talked about a lot during training
47:36
Speaker 1: camp last year. This team is really big on performance,
47:41
Speaker 1: on practicing well and and producing. If he does it
47:46
Speaker 1: in the games, I anticipate him getting some looks with
47:49
Speaker 1: the first team, the first group, to prove he belongs there. Uh,
47:54
Speaker 1: He's going to be a tough guy to cut. That's
47:57
Speaker 1: what you want to be in camp, especially gonna wide
48:00
Speaker 1: receiver room like that, and of course the guy slinging
48:02
Speaker 1: the rock around Blake Bortle's new contract in hand, and
48:07
Speaker 1: a guy be a tough guy to cut to Jake,
48:09
Speaker 1: And I think so he's gonna get cut. As he
48:11
Speaker 1: said earlier in the camp, the floor has risen for him.
48:14
Speaker 1: I think that's very accurate. You haven't seen a meltdown day.
48:18
Speaker 1: We've seen a couple of bad reps here there. But
48:20
Speaker 1: he's found a way to work himself out of it
48:23
Speaker 1: and and keep this offense on track. And a big
48:25
Speaker 1: part of that is this offense and him knowing that
48:28
Speaker 1: another year in it and all that combined we'll get
48:31
Speaker 1: to see it for the first time at least for
48:33
Speaker 1: a little bit tomorrow night. Well, he's such a focus
48:35
Speaker 1: that you know, I write about him every week, We
48:38
Speaker 1: talk about him all the time. I'm sure you guys
48:40
Speaker 1: have been, say, talked about him all the time if
48:42
Speaker 1: you wonder what new you can find to talk about.
48:44
Speaker 1: But a couple of things during this training camp have
48:47
Speaker 1: really stood out. One was when he talked about the
48:51
Speaker 1: floor being higher, and I thought that really summed up
48:56
Speaker 1: why you feel good about him coming in. He's exactly right.
49:00
Speaker 1: You don't see the disaster moments. It felt like last
49:03
Speaker 1: year he sort of pushed through that trait that he
49:06
Speaker 1: had early on if sometimes when it went bad for Blake,
49:10
Speaker 1: it went really bad and you felt like, boy, could
49:13
Speaker 1: he pull out of it. Now it's almost the reverse
49:16
Speaker 1: JP where you feel like that might be his strength
49:19
Speaker 1: is not really worrying about Okay, I just to a
49:23
Speaker 1: pick now, maybe the fans are gonna boom, you know,
49:26
Speaker 1: maybe they're not gonna like me on Twitter. You know,
49:28
Speaker 1: there's none of that sort of feeling, and it's the
49:31
Speaker 1: resilience that they really like about him. The second thing
49:34
Speaker 1: was when Nate Hackett talked earlier this week, and he
49:36
Speaker 1: went into detail about what he likes about Blake in
49:40
Speaker 1: the second year in Nate system, and he talked very
49:43
Speaker 1: football one oh one is about Blake is so much
49:48
Speaker 1: more knowledgeable in the offense now, so much more capable
49:51
Speaker 1: of getting to third and fourth reads in a play.
49:55
Speaker 1: It's coming to him so much more naturally the line
49:57
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. When he goes to the line. He's not
50:00
Speaker 1: having to think his way through the play call. He's
50:03
Speaker 1: not having to say, Okay, whatever this in film, here's
50:06
Speaker 1: what I gotta do. It's more I know this side
50:09
Speaker 1: isn't gonna work here, but I also know I've got
50:11
Speaker 1: Keeling Cole coming across the middle of this play. I
50:13
Speaker 1: can go to that quickly and then come off that
50:15
Speaker 1: read and come over here. It's it's, uh, you know
50:20
Speaker 1: four thousand, leve you got to four thousand level on college.
50:22
Speaker 1: I got a four thousand level. I struggled there. Um,
50:26
Speaker 1: But it's that point rather than being in the intro stuff.
50:29
Speaker 1: And I think that, combined with the receivers being much
50:33
Speaker 1: more versed in this offense, they're much more capable now.
50:36
Speaker 1: When Blake looks at him and says you know, and
50:40
Speaker 1: it gives him a hand signal. They're much more capable
50:42
Speaker 1: of picking that up because they know the offense better.
50:46
Speaker 1: When Nate was talking about that yesterday, it really is
50:48
Speaker 1: sort of clicked of. That's where experience, That's where time
50:53
Speaker 1: in the offense and repetitions and growing together, that's where
50:57
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see this offense improve more plays
51:01
Speaker 1: like that that pick up big yardage and situations that
51:03
Speaker 1: might have been disasters before. As you heard Doug Morons
51:06
Speaker 1: say earlier this week in one of his media availabilities,
51:09
Speaker 1: they'll figure out tonight the playing time situation for the
51:12
Speaker 1: Jaguars tomorrow, and they'll they don't want to really give
51:14
Speaker 1: guys a pitch count going into the game, so we'll
51:17
Speaker 1: probably know it when when you know it during the
51:19
Speaker 1: game tomorrow night. What do you have on the docket tomorrow, John,
51:23
Speaker 1: For Game Day, I believe I'll be writing ten things
51:27
Speaker 1: to watch in the first preseason game, and it'll be
51:31
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff we've talked about, uh, just maybe
51:33
Speaker 1: things not necessarily that they need to do to win,
51:36
Speaker 1: which which is our regular season piece, but what to
51:39
Speaker 1: watch for and maybe some things you hadn't thought of.
51:44
Speaker 1: To watch for this important gather preseason game. Winning in
51:48
Speaker 1: this game and even necessarily having it being close and
51:51
Speaker 1: second half. Uh. Mainly because of this. You don't scheme,
51:56
Speaker 1: you don't game plan in this. So much of the
51:58
Speaker 1: NFL re results in the regular season are about have
52:02
Speaker 1: you schemed against opponent's weaknesses. There's not a whole lot
52:05
Speaker 1: of that, so it's very hard to draw conclusions based
52:08
Speaker 1: on certain things out of the preseason game. We'll look
52:10
Speaker 1: forward to that. Tomorrow night. We'll have the public Cellgates
52:13
