  Speaker 1: Welcome to Jack's Drive with Ashelan Sullivan, Sullers, John Oshan,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Bryan Sexton, Jacks Dry and it starts right now. I
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: definitely think this defense is a player friendly defense for sure,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: you know. And that's one of the first things that
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the coaching staff you know, implemented when they came in.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: You know, they said, uh, you know, the way to
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: keep good players good players is to give them, you know,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: uh simple tags allowing to play fans. So Coach Cullen
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: has done a great job with that. But in terms
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: of when the light came on, I knew someone as
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I really got my opportunity to put my cleats on
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the ground, you know, I would definitely uh gain confidence
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: in and just knowing where I belong mine back the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Shaq quarterman now a big part of what the depth
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: of this defense can look like. Welcome to Jaguars Drive
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Time a Thursday morning, brought to you by the Fields
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Auto Group. Ashelan Sullivan, Brian Sexton, John Osier here with you.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: We're back on the practice field today at that nice
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: little break getting ready for a Week one against the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Houston Texans, and we just heard from shock quarterman, I
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: don't want to talk too much about him, because Brian,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I know I got a thought on him. You're on
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: fire for shock quarterman today. You're right today as shock
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: quarter might be a little bit strong. But but I
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: show something I liked and I heard something I liked
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: in that interview too, So it's a new segment. It is.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: So we'll just get into big things. How about that.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I don't want to blow your cover. Big thing one
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: is protecting Trevor major, major priority. Obviously a lot of
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: change throughout training camp of what this offensive line looked
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: like due to injuries. Offensive line coach George Warhop believes
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the five starters will be back Week one against Houston,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and number one priority is protecting the quarterback. I think
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: that's that's more than just an old line question. That's
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: an offensive question. Um. I think you know, protection starts
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: with us in the backs, right, we got to do
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: our part to protect the quarterback. He's got to do
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: his part by getting the ball out of his hand.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: So it's more than just the old line and how
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: we go about it or the backs or the tight
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: ends with protections. And there's no question we got to
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: do our govern I could really care less respected we
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: don't want to get touched. So whether it's a rookie
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: or fifteen year vet, right, we we gotta protect the quarterback.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: But then it also becomes offensively how you deal with
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: right as the ball coming out, you know, as he's
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: holding the ball, is we're moving them, are were doing whatever.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: So it's a collective bill to protect the quarterback. So
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and I think the plan that we have for him,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I think it was going to be pretty effective. Big
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: thing to Hello, My name is the link wide receivers
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: hi Ron Johnson, coming from the waiver wire to Jacksonville.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Coming from the Los Angeles Chargers three touchdowns last season,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: known as a speed syre, adding more speed to that
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: offense and as a whole, the Jaguar signing five wide
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: receivers to the practice squad yesterday. A lot of those
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: guys that they released coming back on the practice squad.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Big Thing three double header, thanks a little treat here
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: for Jacksonville. The Saints and the Packers are coming to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: town the same day as the Jaguars play the Texans
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: in Houston Week one. Due to the hurricane, this game
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: will be played in Jacksonville, which was big news yesterday.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Brian and I think there were talks of it, it
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: became finalized. But this is pretty cool for people that
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: live in jackson that, you know, get two games and one. Yeah.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I heard through the grapevine that Jerry Jones was not
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: making it easy there financially for for that game to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: go there. Uh yeah, well, I mean he's a businessman, right,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: But then Mr Khan and Mark Lamping reached out and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: so there's a lot of Packers fans, obviously in the Southeast. Um.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of a crowd bill get,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: but I know I heard from a bunch of Packers
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: fans yesterday where can I get tickets? When can I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: get tickets? One of them even sent me a text
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: that said, it's it's Christmas in September, right, because they
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: weren't planning on being able to see the Packers in
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: person this year, so a smart move. Yeah, I on
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a Jaguars show. I don't have that much to say
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: about this game. It'll be good. I won't see it.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I'll be either runing a game or on a plane.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: So for the people who want to see this, I'm
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: very happy for Christmas boy, your friend. Yeah, go Jacksonville.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Big thing one protecting Trevor. Of course, that's a big deal,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: good news that the offensive line will be back intact
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Week one against Houston. But that was the first time
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: we've heard from offensive line coach George Warhop and it
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: was interesting when he was talking about the plug and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: play of the offensive line, and we of course there's
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of depth, but it seems like when he's
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: talking about these starting five, starting five and it's going
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: to stay that way, well, those are the guys he
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: trusts the most because he's had them together the last
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: two years. He knows what they're capable of. And certainly
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: when you talk to anybody on that side of the whole,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: they feel real good about the three guys inside. And
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you assume A. J. Cann is back. We know Brandon
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Linder will be back, and we expect that Andrew Norwell
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: will be back. Um, he told us yesterday that he
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: thought that Juan Taylor had fixed some of those things, right.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I had mentioned a couple of times he boy, he
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: didn't look like he had the feet, but apparently he's
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: fixed that. And we know what Cam Robinson is when
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: he's healthy. So I guess it makes sense that the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: offensive line coach would go with what he knows with
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback. Well, this is an intriguing group because
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: it's it's an unusual group in the NFL these days.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: It's five guys who will start a third consecutive season together. Um,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it's by far the most tenured uh continued group on
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars. So when you break down the roster from
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a salary cap point of view, from an equity point
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: of view, eight year Brandon Leander, eight year Andrew Norwell,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: seven year age a Can, fifth year Camera Robinson, this
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: is an experienced, veteran group. They believe it's a strength. Well,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: in the way you structured your team, this should be
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the strength. Hasn't played to that point yet. But to me,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: if this group is as good as what they've invested
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: in it, then this offense should be good. I feel
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: like it's still stay tuned on this group, but kept
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: them altogether. That surprised a lot of people, and you know,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: it's interesting. So I had to rundown out last night
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and one of my my football playing sons looked and
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: he goes a big thing too, is not a big
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: deal because they only signed one guy, Taven Johnson, the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: kid from San Diego. Well, what I said was what
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: you missed is right. What you missed is that the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: entire practice squad, the entire practice squad is composed of
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: guys who were here, and that they only signed one
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: guy is in and of its selfish story. You thought
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: maybe six or seven. I thought four for sure. This
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: was a roster that was one in fifteen last year,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and yet there's not as much turnover I think as
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I expected about a third of the roster, which is
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: in a normal year. But for a team that was
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: one of fifteen, I expected to be closer to and
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you had four guys claimed you know, guys were going
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: from this team to other teams. Some of that scheme famine.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like Quincy Williams never quite fit in what
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: what they were gonna do, that could fit in what
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: somebody else wants to do. Jake Luton, he knew he
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: was fit, but you knew he was gonna get picked.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I miss read Urban a little bit on when was
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: it Tuesday? I kind of took initially the fact that
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: he was concerned about three running backs and five wide
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: receivers to mean, boy, they're going to be active. Then
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: once they started breaking it down that night. You sort
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: of it's due to reason. They weren't going to go
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: big on defense, because they kept all these guys at
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the expense of offensive guys. So if they liked Doug
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Coston and cut them, which they said, which he said
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday, they would, you're probably not going to release
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: other players on defense. So I misread that a little bit.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: The concern over three running backs and five wide receivers
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: was alleviated when they could get guys back on the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: practice So I thought at first Urban meant, I'm concerned
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: about three, we gotta get more. I think he was
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: just more concerned about we've got to have depth. Now
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: we've got depth on the practice squad. It's telling. They
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: clearly liked their team better than I think observers thought
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: they would, and it was evidenced by only picking up
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: one guy. How many times have we said that this
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: team wasn't one in fifteen bad, that there was some
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: talent on this thing, but the inconsistency at quarterback three
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: different quarterbacks, none of whom played well last year, really
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: cost this team well as of right now, before they
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: play a game, right the sentiment that they were won
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: in fifteen, bad is upheld. Now. If they come out
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: here and only win four games this year, okay, then
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: there's mistakes all over the place. But the reality of
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: it is is that this roster does have talent, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: they like it, and they expect to get better performances
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: from more consistent quarterback play. And that's not just the quarterback.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: You know how many yards he throws for or how
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: many touchdowns he throws for. How about moving the chains
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and keeping the offense on the field and not exposing
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the defense or giving the defense a lead to play
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: with as opposed to always having to stuff the run
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: because the other team has a lead and they're not
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: worried about it. I mean, I think it's gonna be
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: an interesting season to follow, but the fact that there
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: wasn't as much turnover is a telling sign. Before we
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: move on, there's nothing I love. I love pensive line
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: coaches an offensive lineman. I mean, they're my favorite on
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the Lost room society. I don't know George as well
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: as I've known some other offenive lineman, but every offensive
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: line coach I've ever known, we'll always tell you, Hey,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: it ain't all of us. Yeah, and and they're right.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: So many people judge the offensive line by how many sacks?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Did you allow? What George said right there is exactly right.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: It's the quarterback, it's him getting rid of the ball,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: it's the entire offense. A village protects the quarterback. The
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: offensive linemen take the blame, I would say a young
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Cub reporter and uh, I heard a couple of offensive
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: linemen talking about them being the mushroom society? Do you
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: recall this? And um, and I said, what's that? And
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: it was Mike Mazer, god rest his sewell, who said,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: because they treat us like mushrooms. You know, they grow
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: them in the dark and they shovel manure on them. Right.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Offensive line coaches are a crusty lot. I like them,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I really do. I'll never forget the look in Mazer's
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: face which says, and they shovel manure on them. It
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: was fun. He was great. I also feel like why
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: receivers are that as well? When d J. Chuck was saying, well,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I ran, I ran the route, and we had coach
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Keeno Macartell saying the wide receiver always runs the correct route.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: It's not their fault. When we come back on Jaguars
• 10:17

  Speaker 1: segment of Jaguards Drive Time has been brought to you
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: by Jaguar Jacksonville and Atlantic Boulevard. A member of the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: field's auto group Fields Matters because you matter. He had
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to step in for Can in the preseason. Right we
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: went and played in New Orleans and they had number
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: ninety two out there, who's a painting the dairy air
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: to deal with? And I thought he went out there
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: and he handled his business really well with the guy
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: that's that's a high end pass rushing NFL defensive end. Okay,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: so you go watch that game and they're rolling that
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: guy in and out through the first three quarters. And
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I thought, for the most part, other than one staff,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: when you let him go speed the power on him,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I thought, Walker handing himself really well. So if you
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: want to say can ego play based off the preseason,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: go watch that game against a really good player in
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Everyone's favorite person to talk about Walker Little,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: pensil line coach Whords Warhop praising Ham. Welcome back to
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive Time and it's time for a new segment.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I think I think I'm gonna go ahead and go first,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: because surprise, I picked Walker Little, Everyone's favorite person to
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: talk about. I think I think there is a reason
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: George Warhop is pumping the brakes on Walker Little. So
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: before what we just heard, offensive line coach George Warhop
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: was saying, you know, there's some things that Walker Little
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: can improve on in training camp in preseason, and I
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: think there's a reason for that. I think we notably
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: pump up Walker a Little as much as we possibly can.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: We paved his way to Canton. But we have to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: remember that this guy is a rookie, and Coach Warhop
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: was talking about how much he likes the starting five
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the offensive line, which as of right now does not
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: include Walker Little. There's a reason for that. I think
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: everyone's hearing Walker Littles pushing camera. Walker Little might be
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the starter week two up to coach Coach Warhop, I
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: don't think so. You know, it's interesting, um, as I
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: was listening to Georgia esterday, I realized, we're all around
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Theselly all the time. Right he irritated by him. We
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: forget how great of a left tackle he was because
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: he stepped right in as a rookie and he didn't
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: step in an opening day. He went in on a
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Sunday night against Green Bay and shut down Reggie White
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: and Shawn Jones and did not give up a sack.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Um Heaves hurt opening day or he would have shut
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: down that guy. He didn't get in because he was injured.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is it from the very moment
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: that he stepped on the field, he wasn't just the
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: best offensive lineman. He was one of the best two
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: or three players on the field. And Walker Little is
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: extremely talented and a guy with a huge upside. But
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the George Warhop says, hey, rookie left tackles. This guy
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: included all struggle. Miss Ellie didn't struggle. That tells you
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: how great miss Elli was. And that Walker little is
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: just not quite there. Take time, so slowed down, pump
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the brakes, John. I still anticipate the walk a little
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: by virtue of injury attrition. Something will happen. He's on
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the field this he year, and I anticipate that by
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the time he gets on the field this year, he
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: won't come off the field again. It'll be a a
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: more natural transition, which is sort of the kind of
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: tradition I mean, transition that coaches like in this situation.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Uh So, I think this will all take care of itself.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Where is the guy who can step on the field.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: They want to anchor that pivotal position. But he's a
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: guy who will be an anchor for a very long
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: time once he gets out there. All right, I think,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I think, I think, I think, I think, I think
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: um that Josh Allen is the Jaguar's most important story
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: right now outside of Trevor Lawrence. Ary Lawrence is you know,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: the big mats of ball hanging out there. But Josh
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Allen is important because of this. I love Josh Allen.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a fantastic player. I
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: think he's going to be a pro bowler. I think
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: he has a chance to be a game changing, franchise
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: defining defensive player. And if you've got that on both
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: sides of the ball, that's really rare. Most teams who
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: have franchise quarterback don't have elite Von Miller defensive guy.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: But he hasn't really been that guy yet. And a
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: lot of what I said is faith because I see
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the guy in practice every day. I hear a coaches
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: talk about him. I see how he is, I see prepares.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Everything's there. But the unknown is can he be carry
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the defense guy. I think he can. He hasn't yet.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: If he does that the team and the defense or
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I've dramatically better. He hasn't done it yet, So to me,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: that's the key for this season. I don't want to
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: discount what he did as a rookie, but he did
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: it with Calais Campbell on the other side and Yanni
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: can Goquay on the other side. He made great plays
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: with tend and to have sacks, which was the most
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: by all rookies that year and a Jaguars rookie record. Obviously,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: last year, when the focus was on him before he
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: got injured, he struggled right to be able to create. Well,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: there's more talent there this year, so he should be able.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: He has to be like von Miller, the guy who
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: can make it happen on his own. The team stopping
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: the run better should by definition help him be what
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: he is. Last year, I sort of thought a lot
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: of the reason that he wasn't what we thought he
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: was was because of that and any injury. Um, if
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: there is good against the run and other teams are
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: in obvious passing situations, then Josh Allen must be an
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: eight or nine SAT guy, I would agree, And I
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: think he's capable of being that and more. He's that talented. Um.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I think I think that I really like Scheck quarterman
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: in Joe Collen's defense. Right, at least this segment makes
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: you giggle. Um, because I liked the way on first
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and second down. Right, I want to tell you who
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I think he is rather than say, well he's not
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Fred Warner, he's you know, he's not Luke Keikley or
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Devin White. I'll tell you exactly. Well, that's true and
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: at point, and a local boy at that. But he
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: reminds me of two guys that played in that three
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: four and the hallmark three four to me was the Steelers. Um,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: he's not as big as Levon Kirkland, but he runs
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: to the hole like Levon Kirkland, and when he gets there,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: he hits like Earl Holmes, the former Florida A and
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: M linebacker. He's a guy especially in run situations. And
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: again I'm figuring by injury and attrition, he's going to
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: be on the field in the scheme at some point.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: A three four scheme is a linebacker intensive scheme they play,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: and I think Chack Corterman fits this one to a t.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: And listening to him yesterday, his mindset, his mentality, his
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: approach to the game, it's it's a prototypical three four linebacker.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: He's not going to be a tense sack guy like
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: a Fred Warner. You know you're not gonna be an
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: interception pick six guy. Um, but man, is he going
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: to be a factor at some point in helping this
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: team stop the run. I think I hope he is
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: because he is a guy who, uh if fans will
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: love if he is good, very likable, He's a terrific guy.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: He's going to succeed in something in life. But I
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: hope what he does for the next fire or six
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: years his succeed is the Jaguar. I think he's got
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: a chance to really be a nice player in this scheme.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Totally agree. When we come back on Jaguars Drive Time,

• 21:00
  Speaker 1: sign for he will, he won't. He might brought to
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: you by moved so subtle on your poets. Uh. So
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I want Brandon Linder. Uh he will return on Sunday
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: and stabilize the offensive line. I mean he's just he's
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: a really good player, and he's a guy who because
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: of his inability to stay on the field every game,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: because of this team's inconsistency quarterback the last couple of years,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's gotten the credit that he deserves.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: But he's a guy who can really dictate the way
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: an offensive line plays. And he's a consummate pro st
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Thomas Aquinas product. Gotta have at least one of those
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: people in the building, right. Um, he won't stay healthy
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the whole season, I mean older players generally don't. And
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: only once in his eight year career has he played
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: all sixteen games, and that was twenty nineteen, and I
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: think that amazing. Um, he might be the most important
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: player on that offensive line. Um. We talk all the
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: time about tackles and protecting the quarterback, but their ability
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: to help this rookie quarterback is going to be based
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: in the Running Game Urban Meyers spent a lot of
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: time talking to Joe Burrow, last year's number one pick,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: and he said, you've got to give him the running game.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: So the play action works, you have to be able
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: to run. He's the key to being able to run.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: So he might be the most important player on the
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: offense other than Trevor Lawrence. I'm sure he would love
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: to hear that, you know whatever, which I love. He's
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: a grouchy old offensive lineman. He'd say, no comment. Um,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: it was C. J. Henderson. He will be the starter,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: which was in doubt three or four weeks ago, and
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: he's earned it. And it's an impressive story considering eight
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: days missed with COVID. I think at the very start
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: and there's a personal day. Uh, there was a lot
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: of noise swirling around him. Well, guess what. He is
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: a an extremely talent and player. It's easy to see
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: watching him. It's easy to forget sometimes that he was
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the number nine overall pick, which number nine overall pick
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: with corner means you are the best. It also means
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: that if you had been an offensive line or a quarterback,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: you're probably going top three. He's that level talent, and
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: you said that consistently, which is why I'm not surprised
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: that you think he's the starter because he's that good.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Well if he's not, then yeah, you're asking, uh, he
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: won't be traded? And I get why that was a thing.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I get why there are reports. I get why. I
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: even get why the Jaguars may have been open to
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the idea at some point. Um, and before I get
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: to the he might Um no, I'll go ahead, I'll
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: change gears. He might be the first example we have
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: of urban Meyer really impacting something personnel wise, and silly
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: because he impacts everything personnel wise. But it was clear
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: that urban Meyer, from the way he coach CD on
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the field a couple of times, really took an interest
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: in this and has tried to get to c J
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: and get him right. Yeah. So uh credit durban Meyer
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: for that there so far watching CJ since the beginning
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: of training camp, Uh, you would not have known that
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: he was out. So so far, so good credit to him.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: And I think he and Josh Allen are are critical
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: critical pieces of this team. If they're as good as
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: they ought to be, all of a sudden, this defense
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: has a chance to go from being very bad last
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: year to be in very good. Most teams don't have
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: premier corner, premier pass rusher, premier line. That's some extreme
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: talent on all levels. No reason you shouldn't be able
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: to build around that. Agreed, And it's true credit to
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: coach Meyer because how many times have we we've seen
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: on Twitter and we've seen the drama unfolding and we're thinking, oh,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: the is not gonna be good. It's gonna end up
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: in a trade. This is just there's no way this
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: is going to come back. And it's quieted significantly in
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: three weeks. So againting credit to coaching. Absolutely. Alright, smkey
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: will he won't hem is offensive coordinator Darryl bevil. I
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: want a little coach in here. He will be relieved
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: that he doesn't have to talk about a quarterback competition
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: anymore in press conferences and now when we speak to him,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: you can talk about Trevor Lawrence being the starting quarterback.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: There was always a caveat to that, and he kind
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: of just looked at him like, come on, coach, but
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: he had to mention it. He will be relieved over this.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: He won't panic a little blunt that the blame in quotations.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Preseason blame was being put on him the first two
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: weeks for an offense not working, an offense not clicking,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: it's not going quick enough, and everyone was saying, okay, well,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: what's going on with the play calling in preseason? He
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: won't panic because now all of a sudden, he's a
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: hero after the third preseason game in preseason, he might
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: have to rip out a big portion of this playbook
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: with no Travis etn who will be having surgery today
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: reported and missed about four months is the report dates.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: So good luck to Travis Day on his surgery date.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: But it's no secret that Darryl Bubble had to probably
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: rip a large portion of the binder out that was
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: credited to Travis E TNS play calling. Hey, how many
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: spots are left in the practice squad? Two or three?
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: They got they got to get a quarterback in here.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: This would be interesting. Are you going with us? Well,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: no, no no, I'm not going. I'm really not going anywhere
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: except to say, this is why I was surprised that
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Jake Luton was released because now you only have two quarterbacks.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Because I didn't think you'd be able to get him back. Um,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: you can't do it for two reasons. One, you need
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: you need a scout team quarterback, and that's generally what
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: the practice squad quarterback does. But the other thing is
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: you need one for COVID purposes. You go with former
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: tight end. No where with no no, I'm just saying
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see. Clearly they're not finished with
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: the roster, and we talked yesterday about how they could
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: go up to you know, Tuesday with this roster. Look,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see who the quarterback is. You
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: can't not have a third quarterback. No, that's true. And
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I thought when Jake Luton was released, I thought, oh,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: there's no way he makes it. And if they thought, oh,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: he's going to make it through waivers, I thought, well,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: there's somebody they like. I mean, there's somebody. There's somebody
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: that they've got their eye on, or they're being patient,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: or they were talking about trade or I mean whatever.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Who knows. They've got extra six round picks now, um,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: but they've got to have somebody, and it's it's a
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: key piece. And we got to mention that. Ok. Alright,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: So Darryl Bubble might have a busy week ahead because
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: he's gonna have to be looking at quarterbacks. I'm sure
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: he's already for the bullet point. There we come back.
