- 1:19Speaker 1: days straight of training camp practice. I got an next
- 1:22Speaker 1: hour of sleep this morning, which means I'm bringing the
- 1:24Speaker 1: juice Ryan. Are you oh sleep? Who needs that? Come on, Lynn,
- 1:31Speaker 1: have a couple of kids. You have to get them
- 1:33Speaker 1: up and getting ready for school. That'll tough a job.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Uh No, thank you, John, I know that you appreciated
- 1:40Speaker 1: made some extra sleep. I have no juice, but I
- 1:44Speaker 1: did appreciate the extra sleep. So it's uh, I'm ready
- 1:48Speaker 1: to go. I'm raring to go. This morning bride eyed
- 1:50Speaker 1: and bushy tail, right eye, bushy tail. You will call
- 1:54Speaker 1: me basic, but this morning is the first morning of
- 1:58Speaker 1: pup pumpkin coffee at Starbucks. So that's why I'm ready
- 2:01Speaker 1: to go. It wasn't extra hour's sleep. And make that
- 2:04Speaker 1: for you. Somewhere deep inside Starbucks they can said, you
- 2:08Speaker 1: know what that is our target market, Ashlyn Sullivan for pumpkin. Yep.
- 2:14Speaker 1: I hope they're now calling and they'll give me free
- 2:16Speaker 1: coffee for life, because that's exactly what they need, is
- 2:18Speaker 1: more advertising. They're definitely gonna target me, that's for sure.
- 2:22Speaker 1: All Right. We're doing a little something different with big
- 2:24Speaker 1: Things today. We are picking three players that Jaguars fans
- 2:27Speaker 1: have not been so fond of lately. We are calling
- 2:30Speaker 1: these three big things. Deal with it. Big Thing Number one,
- 2:33Speaker 1: Deal with it. Taven Brian is good and getting better,
- 2:37Speaker 1: safe to say, Tam And Brian has not lived up
- 2:39Speaker 1: to the expectation of a first round pick, and you
- 2:41Speaker 1: need sometimes to adjust to this new defensive system. His
- 2:44Speaker 1: d line coach spoke with us yesterday. Instead of times
- 2:47Speaker 1: he over analyzes things. But as of right now, he
- 2:50Speaker 1: is having one heck of a training camp and it's
- 2:53Speaker 1: growing confidence and his teammates are starting to recognize that.
- 2:57Speaker 1: I mean, if you really pay attition that every single play,
- 2:59Speaker 1: whenever the tabs out there, he wrecks. He's freaking knocking
- 3:03Speaker 1: people off blocks and knocking off pulls and everything like that.
- 3:06Speaker 1: That's his role, that's his I mean that, that's what
- 3:08Speaker 1: he does. He's a wrecking ball. He's gonna get vertical
- 3:10Speaker 1: and he's gonna knock off blocks and do what he
- 3:12Speaker 1: has to do to open up plays for our linebackers.
- 3:15Speaker 1: So I mean just because he's just because the statue
- 3:17Speaker 1: doesn't show it doesn't mean he's not out here like grinding.
- 3:20Speaker 1: And he's a valuable part of the team as well,
- 3:22Speaker 1: you know. So, I mean he he just stays in
- 3:24Speaker 1: his role. He knows what he can do, and that's
- 3:26Speaker 1: what he's gonna do. Big thing number two is deal
- 3:31Speaker 1: with it. Andrew Norwell is overpaid but underappreciated. At the time,
- 3:36Speaker 1: five years, sixty six million dollars made Andrew Normal the
- 3:40Speaker 1: highest paid guard in the NFL. When he came to
- 3:42Speaker 1: the Jibs in two thousand and eighteen. Maybe this is
- 3:45Speaker 1: because he's a left guard and it's not as flashy
- 3:47Speaker 1: of position as left tackle, but you see the impact
- 3:50Speaker 1: Quentin Nelson has that left guard with the culture. I
- 3:53Speaker 1: think that's what we expected Andrew Normal to come in
- 3:55Speaker 1: and do. Now it's been a slow process, but he
- 3:58Speaker 1: is well as having a great camp and don't go
- 4:00Speaker 1: out this offensive line as a whole either. We're definitely
- 4:04Speaker 1: putting a big emphasis on, you know, get more push
- 4:07Speaker 1: off the line, being more physical at the point of contact.
- 4:09Speaker 1: So we've definitely been focusing on that every day and
- 4:12Speaker 1: uh coach Warhawking preaching that best every single day that
- 4:14Speaker 1: you know, we need to get more movement off the
- 4:15Speaker 1: line and you know, create more spacebo Our running best
- 4:18Speaker 1: lot of We got a lot of good backs, so
- 4:19Speaker 1: we gotta make some space for him and create plays
- 4:21Speaker 1: for them and finally a big thing three deal with it.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Miles Jack has all pro potential this year. I know
- 4:30Speaker 1: Jagrs fans were not too fond of him last season
- 4:32Speaker 1: doing with middle linebackers in charge of getting Quincy Williams
- 4:36Speaker 1: and Leon Jacobs in place with constant ships in the
- 4:38Speaker 1: linebacker unit due to injuries last year. Now you have
- 4:42Speaker 1: Joe Schobert in the middle, and now Miles Jack can
- 4:44Speaker 1: go to his natural position. At will Saturday scrimmage, he
- 4:47Speaker 1: was by far the standout, and Brian, I think we
- 4:50Speaker 1: all can affect Myles Jack maybe make the biggest jump
- 4:54Speaker 1: going into this season. Well, he's certainly in his most
- 4:59Speaker 1: natural physic. You know, he's a playmaker. We saw that
- 5:01Speaker 1: in seventeen. In the last couple of years, they've tried
- 5:04Speaker 1: to find a place where he could do that, but
- 5:07Speaker 1: middle linebacker wasn't in So you watch Miles and the
- 5:10Speaker 1: thing that you see is a big, athletic guy who
- 5:14Speaker 1: can really run. He sees the ball, he reacts to it. Well,
- 5:18Speaker 1: they're putting him in a position on the weak side, which,
- 5:20Speaker 1: by the way, this is the first time in his
- 5:22Speaker 1: pro career he's been a true week side linebacker where
- 5:25Speaker 1: he can take advantage of just those skills. Like tell me,
- 5:29Speaker 1: like Colvin Smith used to um, I would expect a
- 5:33Speaker 1: year where the statute is packed for him. Yeah, and
- 5:40Speaker 1: this has been a misunderstood thing for a long time.
- 5:43Speaker 1: I get a lot of emails along these lines. First
- 5:45Speaker 1: of all, Oh, Miles Jack's terrible. He wasn't a terrible
- 5:47Speaker 1: middle linebacker. He I think he's gonna be a better
- 5:50Speaker 1: week side linebacker. But the demise of Miles Jack last
- 5:54Speaker 1: year was vastly overrated. Second of all, I got all
- 5:57Speaker 1: kinds of questions for all off season. Well, if this
- 6:01Speaker 1: is his natural position, then why were the Jaguars so
- 6:04Speaker 1: stupid to put him in the middle. Well, Telvin was
- 6:07Speaker 1: playing week side for two years, so we're you gonna
- 6:09Speaker 1: put him there. Paul faus Leshlie was playing the middle,
- 6:11Speaker 1: where you're gonna put him there? There was no place
- 6:13Speaker 1: to put Miles Jack for a long time. Last year,
- 6:16Speaker 1: Telvin leaves in May, and all of a sudden, you're
- 6:20Speaker 1: gonna move Myles Jack with two months to go before
- 6:23Speaker 1: the sea. Probably not, So I agree with you guys.
- 6:26Speaker 1: I think Miles Jack is gonna have a really good year.
- 6:28Speaker 1: I think he's in his position really through no fault
- 6:32Speaker 1: of his own that he hasn't been there already. But
- 6:34Speaker 1: this is a huge year for him. Is a make
- 6:36Speaker 1: or break I don't know, but it's close. Let's go
- 6:39Speaker 1: back to the top and talk about Telvin. I'm sorry,
- 6:42Speaker 1: Calvin haven Um, you gotta did a little research. If
- 6:47Speaker 1: you go look at Kenny Clark, the now highly paid
- 6:51Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers defensive tackle. He came in as the
- 6:55Speaker 1: pick in the first round in out of U c.
- 6:58Speaker 1: L A. Was not high hilly regarded. He was thought
- 7:01Speaker 1: he was a guy that was strong and could anchor
- 7:03Speaker 1: in and develop and get better. Taven was twenty nine.
- 7:08Speaker 1: So over the next two years, people in Green Bay
- 7:12Speaker 1: saw glimpses of his athletic potential. But Clark didn't even
- 7:15Speaker 1: have a sack until Week thirteen of the seventeen season,
- 7:20Speaker 1: and he came into his own in he made his
- 7:24Speaker 1: first Pro Bowl and now he is one of the
- 7:27Speaker 1: highest paid defensive lineman in Pro football. I think he
- 7:30Speaker 1: is actually the highest paid defensive tackle. The fact of
- 7:34Speaker 1: it is is when you're picking near the bottom of
- 7:36Speaker 1: the first round, your potential is there, but there's something
- 7:39Speaker 1: that has to develop, and you can't argue that. Taven
- 7:42Speaker 1: Bryan ended last season as a guy whose arrow was
- 7:46Speaker 1: pointing straight up. So here he is near the same
- 7:49Speaker 1: point that Kenny Clark was in looking for a breakthrough.
- 7:53Speaker 1: We're seeing glimpses. You heard you want smooth, We're seeing
- 7:56Speaker 1: glimpses of it when we see him on the practice field.
- 7:59Speaker 1: It was yawned argument. The guy finally has a comfort
- 8:04Speaker 1: level with what they're asking him to do and he
- 8:07Speaker 1: can combine that with his size and strength and his
- 8:10Speaker 1: natural attributes. I think this is going to be a
- 8:13Speaker 1: massive breakthrough season for Taven. Brian if he can get
- 8:17Speaker 1: back healthy of bone bruise is something that can linger.
- 8:19Speaker 1: But if he gets back to a position of health,
- 8:21Speaker 1: I think this could be a year in which Taven
- 8:23Speaker 1: Bryant makes a massive move forward. Yes, sometimes you wish
- 8:30Speaker 1: for the sake of guys that they did what you
- 8:33Speaker 1: really ought to do. E grade in these guys, which
- 8:36Speaker 1: usually most years there's first round guys and after that
- 8:41Speaker 1: they're really not bona fide first round talent, which means
- 8:44Speaker 1: they're not going to come and make a huge impact
- 8:46Speaker 1: right away. Taban has been good, but but he needed
- 8:50Speaker 1: to develop, as Brian said, and he probably was a
- 8:54Speaker 1: second round talent, second round pick. If he'd been taking
- 8:57Speaker 1: the second round, you wouldn't have so many people saying, oh,
- 9:00Speaker 1: he's just another first round but he's just this so
- 9:02Speaker 1: all that. I agree with you guys. Again, he has
- 9:06Speaker 1: had a good camp. He was very good at the
- 9:08Speaker 1: end of last year. His task is to be consistent.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Because he hasn't been, we can say deal with it
- 9:14Speaker 1: all we want. The bottom line on Tavian is he
- 9:17Speaker 1: hasn't been good enough yet. He is a guy. He's
- 9:20Speaker 1: still got to take a step up to be what
- 9:22Speaker 1: they need on the interior. If he's really, really good,
- 9:27Speaker 1: then all of their interior problems aren't nearly as glaring.
- 9:30Speaker 1: If he's not what they hope he is, then they're
- 9:33Speaker 1: in trouble on the interior. I don't know that there's
- 9:35Speaker 1: a more important player in the Jaguars roster right now,
- 9:37Speaker 1: considering all it's going on at the defensive tackle position
- 9:40Speaker 1: outside Gardner Minshew. Of course, Yeah, John, I couldnot agree
- 9:45Speaker 1: with you more. This is definitely the year that he
- 9:47Speaker 1: has all the pressure on him to improve. And I
- 9:49Speaker 1: almost got the vibe yesterday when we heard from Dawan
- 9:52Speaker 1: Smooth and Tavin Bryant's defensive line coach, Coach ReBs that
- 9:56Speaker 1: it almost was like they felt the need to stick
- 9:58Speaker 1: up for him, almost because of course you hear the stigma.
- 10:00Speaker 1: They said that Taven Brian doesn't pay attention to it,
- 10:03Speaker 1: but I felt very passionate emotions coming from the defensive
- 10:08Speaker 1: line coach and Dewan Smooth sticking up for Taven Brian
- 10:11Speaker 1: that they know that he hasn't lived up to his potential,
- 10:13Speaker 1: but believe in this guy. They see something in him.
- 10:16Speaker 1: The Jaguars fans should as well. The finally, guys, let's
- 10:19Speaker 1: go to big Thing two with Andrew Norwald. This this
- 10:22Speaker 1: guy might be the most confusing guy on the team
- 10:25Speaker 1: because he does have that sticker price on him. And
- 10:27Speaker 1: I think that's why Jaguars fans gets so upset when
- 10:30Speaker 1: you mentioned the name Andrew Norwal. But we're seeing him
- 10:33Speaker 1: yesterday at practice pancaking guys, Brian, Well, and look, I've
- 10:38Speaker 1: been as disappointed in the results and as guilty as
- 10:41Speaker 1: anyone of applying the highest paid guard in football tagged
- 10:45Speaker 1: to him or the second highest paid, I think is
- 10:47Speaker 1: what he is now. So when you look at him,
- 10:50Speaker 1: you see one of the biggest guys on the line,
- 10:51Speaker 1: and you expect to see more push. Well, he's dealt
- 10:54Speaker 1: with various injuries, calf, ankle, foot, different things over the
- 10:59Speaker 1: course of his two year years. This camp, he's been consistent.
- 11:02Speaker 1: He is a big, strong guy and I watched him
- 11:05Speaker 1: pull and move and he's looked smoother, he's looked more
- 11:11Speaker 1: certain of what they're asking him to do. I think
- 11:15Speaker 1: George Warhop has had a lot to do with Andrew
- 11:18Speaker 1: Norwell playing better this camp than he has, at least
- 11:21Speaker 1: to my eyes, in the first two years. He's going
- 11:24Speaker 1: to be a critical part of stabilizing the left side
- 11:26Speaker 1: of that line as Cam Robinson works his way back.
- 11:30Speaker 1: If they can run both left and right, you know,
- 11:32Speaker 1: the Doors have been a right handed team because that's
- 11:35Speaker 1: where they're big grinded out guys have been. Now you're
- 11:39Speaker 1: gonna have some big, grinded out guys on the left side.
- 11:41Speaker 1: The ability to run left or right handed. It's going
- 11:44Speaker 1: to be critical this year for Gardner Minshew to do
- 11:47Speaker 1: what he does best, which is utilized play action. Yeah,
- 11:52Speaker 1: a few thoughts here. Norwell falls victim to what most
- 11:56Speaker 1: non elite offensive lineman fall victim to, which is they
- 12:01Speaker 1: can play very very good for a hundred plays. If
- 12:04Speaker 1: they mess the hundred and first one up, it's all
- 12:07Speaker 1: you remember. And for an offensive lineman, there's no way
- 12:09Speaker 1: to make up for that. Defensive players around here have
- 12:13Speaker 1: been missing assignments for years and and go into Pro
- 12:16Speaker 1: Bowls because they make big plays. Offensive lineman can't do
- 12:19Speaker 1: that kind of turnound So it's a little bit unfair,
- 12:21Speaker 1: but it's a nature of the position. First. Second of all,
- 12:24Speaker 1: Norwell Anger's Jaguars fans because of what he represents. It
- 12:29Speaker 1: was the year they didn't resign a rob and they
- 12:31Speaker 1: chose a guard over a rob, so that bothers him.
- 12:34Speaker 1: I do think George Warhop is going to have a
- 12:37Speaker 1: huge impact on the whole offensive line only because of this.
- 12:40Speaker 1: When Warhop spoke on Sunday and when Doug Maron spoke
- 12:43Speaker 1: before that, they both mentioned the second year under this guy,
- 12:47Speaker 1: and Warhop mentioned that some of his techniques are a
- 12:51Speaker 1: little tricky to learn. He teaches a little differently. Everything
- 12:54Speaker 1: you hear is that they like this offensive line right now,
- 12:57Speaker 1: I've got to think for Norwell and the rest of
- 12:58Speaker 1: the offensive line, getting a year under Warhops really going
- 13:02Speaker 1: to help. Again much the same as as a point
- 13:05Speaker 1: of maybe Taven Bryant, the offensive line is critical to
- 13:09Speaker 1: this bunch. If they're good, the offense could be good.
- 13:12Speaker 1: I think the defense is going to struggle. If the
- 13:14Speaker 1: offensive line is as good as it ought to be,
- 13:17Speaker 1: then maybe this team can score some points and get
- 13:19Speaker 1: in track meets and win some games. That's all We've
- 13:23Speaker 1: been hearing all offseason long from coaching staff and everyone
- 13:26Speaker 1: within the Jaguars is how confident they are in this
- 13:29Speaker 1: offensive line so shortly, in a few weeks, we will
- 13:31Speaker 1: put it to the test. Those are big things. Three
- 13:34Speaker 1: guys dealing with it, hoping that they will make major
- 13:37Speaker 1: steps in the right direction going into the season when
- 13:40Speaker 1: we return a new segment. I can't help but think
- 13:44Speaker 1: coming up on Jaguars, Hey Jacks fans, we all know
- 13:59Speaker 1: dove All is a big place and you need to
- 14:02Speaker 1: get a lot of mileage out of what you drive.

- 16:06Speaker 1: you're doing there, Joe, very clever man. This Wednesday morning,
- 16:10Speaker 1: welcome back to Jaguars Drive Time here with a new
- 16:12Speaker 1: sub segment. I can't help but think posing some questions
- 16:16Speaker 1: and some thoughts. Now that we are through training camp
- 16:19Speaker 1: almost Saturday's scrimmage would put the end of a long
- 16:22Speaker 1: training camp practice for us. So Brian, let's go to you.
- 16:25Speaker 1: I can't help but think, what is Brian Sexton thinking
- 16:28Speaker 1: about this morning? John Osier, Brian is not ready for
- 16:45Speaker 1: his thoughts? What are you thinking about this morning? Well?
- 16:49Speaker 1: I can't help, but thanks you go to thedish line.
- 16:51Speaker 1: I used the title to get into the segment um.
- 16:54Speaker 1: I can't help but think that if the Jaguars are
- 16:57Speaker 1: going to be good this season, they're really Are you
- 17:00Speaker 1: going to depend on d J. Shark and Gardner Minshew
- 17:02Speaker 1: and I get that there are two of the better players.
- 17:04Speaker 1: They're the core of this offense right now. We have
- 17:07Speaker 1: really haven't seen Leonard for Nette yet because it's it's practice,
- 17:10Speaker 1: so it's hard to tell. But it seems to me
- 17:12Speaker 1: that if this team is going to get in some
- 17:14Speaker 1: of the track meets and win these games. Everybody saw
- 17:20Speaker 1: that Minshew and Shark were developing developing a chemistry last year.
- 17:24Speaker 1: They saw that Shark was really really good the first
- 17:27Speaker 1: half the season and he was sort of this Pro
- 17:30Speaker 1: Bowl level guy. I think if the Jaguars are gonna
- 17:33Speaker 1: be good, meaning if they're gonna get seven or eight
- 17:36Speaker 1: wins with this team, Sharks gonna have to be here.
- 17:39Speaker 1: He has shown signs of being here in training camp.
- 17:42Speaker 1: I like what you've seen. It looks like a year
- 17:44Speaker 1: to develop or a year three development. Guy. Their chemistry
- 17:49Speaker 1: that we've seen so far is going to have to
- 17:52Speaker 1: be a national story. It's gonna have to be one
- 17:54Speaker 1: of those things they're talking about on Good Morning Football
- 17:56Speaker 1: with your guy Kyle Brandt. You know, all of that
- 17:59Speaker 1: is gonna have to come to Wish and it's gonna
- 18:00Speaker 1: have to be a big story for this team to
- 18:02Speaker 1: be good. They had the capability, They look magical so far.
- 18:06Speaker 1: They're gonna lean on those two a lot earlier. I
- 18:08Speaker 1: can't help but think that, Yeah, and the relationship already
- 18:12Speaker 1: seems to be exactly where it needs to be. And John,
- 18:15Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing with that when we talk
- 18:16Speaker 1: about Chark and Minshoo's relationship. We saw how successful DJ
- 18:20Speaker 1: Chark was at the beginning of the season. Then teams
- 18:22Speaker 1: started catching on to his potential. He gets double team
- 18:26Speaker 1: and that's where I really think Levisca Chennault Jr. Is
- 18:29Speaker 1: going to come in If he can take some of
- 18:30Speaker 1: the pressure off a Chart and also Keelan Cole is
- 18:33Speaker 1: having a great camp. If you can have another wide
- 18:35Speaker 1: receiver that reaches somewhat the potential that Chart does. I
- 18:39Speaker 1: think that helps him out a lot of a lot,
- 18:41Speaker 1: because at the end of last season he really couldn't
- 18:43Speaker 1: be so productive because everyone around the league started taking notice. John. Yeah,
- 18:48Speaker 1: I fir should help that too. The more weapons you have,
- 18:51Speaker 1: obviously Ifford in the middle of the field and l
- 18:54Speaker 1: in the middle of the field, they Jane has the
- 18:56Speaker 1: capability of playing a tight end tight role in terms
- 18:59Speaker 1: of what the sensive cordiners have to do to combat you. Uh,
- 19:02Speaker 1: it's also up to DJ a little bit, meaning the
- 19:06Speaker 1: elite guys, which he has the capability of being, they
- 19:10Speaker 1: have the ability to get open and catch even when
- 19:13Speaker 1: they're doubled. It's very hard, but that's what the elite
- 19:16Speaker 1: guys do. Not all the time, but they can get
- 19:19Speaker 1: open and no matter what the situation. So I know
- 19:22Speaker 1: he knows that's his task this year. Again, he got
- 19:25Speaker 1: to hear last year in the Pro Bowl. It was
- 19:27Speaker 1: remarkable for he was as a rookie. But he's got
- 19:31Speaker 1: to take that next step and be able to combat
- 19:34Speaker 1: those things on his own. All that such n You're
- 19:36Speaker 1: exactly right. Channalt to me is the guy who can
- 19:39Speaker 1: add dimensions to this offense, get some pressure off a DJ,
- 19:43Speaker 1: really open things up, and if Channault's good, then all
- 19:47Speaker 1: of a sudden, this combination we're talking about alrighty, I
- 19:49Speaker 1: couldnot agree more. DJ Chark a lot to ask out
- 19:52Speaker 1: of a second year player, but let's go with Mike.
- 19:54Speaker 1: I can't help but think, I hope you guys love
- 19:57Speaker 1: the selfies that we've been doing. They look fabulous at
- 19:59Speaker 1: my opin and I can't help but think d J.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Henderson is actually a rookie and that is quite all right.
- 20:07Speaker 1: Monday practice he had a tough day. I think sure
- 20:09Speaker 1: a lot of you have seen it on Twitter, going
- 20:11Speaker 1: against Healing Cole, visibly frustrated after losing some reps against
- 20:15Speaker 1: Healing Cole. He was out with a sickness for a
- 20:17Speaker 1: few days before that. But you see at practice coached him,
- 20:20Speaker 1: Walt and taking him aside, calming him down, And I
- 20:23Speaker 1: think that's what opened my eyes. He came into this
- 20:26Speaker 1: league was such high act believe and so much pressure
- 20:30Speaker 1: coming and saying, hey, you're gonna be the guy. You're
- 20:32Speaker 1: gonna be that number one corner to take over for
- 20:34Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, to take over for a J boy A.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Monday's practice was the first time that I saw a
- 20:41Speaker 1: rookie c J Henderson. And that's okay because he is
- 20:45Speaker 1: a rookie. Everyone on Twitter freaking out saying, uh, a diva,
- 20:49Speaker 1: he's getting frustrated. This guy has been in the league
- 20:52Speaker 1: for four weeks in training camp. Give the guy a break.
- 20:55Speaker 1: It is okay. He's a rookie. He's going through learning
- 20:58Speaker 1: curves and I still John think you see the potential
- 21:00Speaker 1: with him. Yeah, everybody's got their opinion on this, and
- 21:04Speaker 1: that's that's what's sort of too bad about Twitter. In
- 21:07Speaker 1: a lot of cases, it's the world we live in,
- 21:10Speaker 1: but there's all the quick reaction to it, and guys
- 21:14Speaker 1: don't have a chance to develop. You know, practice slynn
- 21:18Speaker 1: used to be something where guys could actually practice and
- 21:21Speaker 1: improve and you would never have any idea what happened.
- 21:24Speaker 1: And then that's what practices for to get you ready
- 21:27Speaker 1: for games. So I don't particularly worry that he had
- 21:30Speaker 1: one rocky practice. C J. Henderson, from all reports, is
- 21:34Speaker 1: a couple of things he's a guy with unbelievably unbelievable
- 21:37Speaker 1: athletic ability. He's also a guy with unbelievable want to
- 21:41Speaker 1: an unbelievable work ethic. Usually when you put those two together,
- 21:46Speaker 1: you develop a good player. If you're missing one of those,
- 21:48Speaker 1: obviously it's gonna fall apart on you. I think he, Henderson,
- 21:52Speaker 1: and Channault all had that look at. Guys are gonna
- 21:55Speaker 1: be impact players. Um, he's probably gonna have some bumps
- 22:00Speaker 1: in the road this year. Most rookie cornerbacks do. Let's
- 22:04Speaker 1: not forget Jalen Ramsey was a great player for this team.
- 22:08Speaker 1: He also had some games that you really couldn't talk
- 22:12Speaker 1: about later because things went really off the rails in
- 22:15Speaker 1: the NFL these days, in passing offense, cornerbacks are not
- 22:18Speaker 1: going to be perfect. It's impossible for corner next to
- 22:20Speaker 1: be perfect. This day and age, it is geared toward
- 22:23Speaker 1: winning the past. Thank you for calming my frustration and
- 22:29Speaker 1: nerves about C. J. Henderson. John, all right, Brian, I
- 22:31Speaker 1: think we have you back. So what is your I
- 22:34Speaker 1: can't help the thing and helping built in London and
- 22:49Speaker 1: that was a rebuilding year, a year in which people
- 22:51Speaker 1: didn't think the Jaguars were going to be very good,
- 22:53Speaker 1: that the roster wasn't that strong, And and the San
- 22:55Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners ran out onto the field and I
- 22:58Speaker 1: looked at them and I said, look how big these
- 23:00Speaker 1: guys are, how strong they look. And you looked at
- 23:02Speaker 1: the Jaguars and they just didn't measure up well in
- 23:05Speaker 1: this year that a lot of people think that the
- 23:07Speaker 1: Jaguars roster doesn't measure up. I think ESPN had them
- 23:11Speaker 1: at the bottom of their power rankings when they came
- 23:13Speaker 1: out yesterday, for whatever that means. Um The thing that
- 23:16Speaker 1: stood out to me was how big an athletic this
- 23:19Speaker 1: team is. There are not the big names out there,
- 23:21Speaker 1: but there are a couple of spots where they've gotten
- 23:23Speaker 1: bigger and stronger and more athletic. For instance, Tyler Eiffort
- 23:27Speaker 1: comes on, Tyler Davis adds to the tight ends room,
- 23:31Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the position it was woefully
- 23:33Speaker 1: undermanned last year, is much bigger, much stronger, much more athletic.
- 23:38Speaker 1: On the other side of the ball, just looking outside linebacker,
- 23:42Speaker 1: you have Curtis Marsh's son, Cassius Marsh, who is out there,
- 23:46Speaker 1: what six four, two fifty big, strong, athletic can run.
- 23:51Speaker 1: They have gotten bigger and more athletic at receiver with
- 23:54Speaker 1: the addition of Colin Johnson and Laviscas Chenault. So no,
- 23:58Speaker 1: this roster is not the most star studied roster in
- 24:01Speaker 1: the league, and it's a game of players. However, the
- 24:05Speaker 1: reason why you should be optimistic about this football team
- 24:08Speaker 1: and their chances week to week to get into the
- 24:11Speaker 1: fourth quarter of a game and try to win some
- 24:13Speaker 1: of these things and be able to win some of
- 24:15Speaker 1: these things is because there are a lot of good
- 24:18Speaker 1: looking athletes out there on the field, and if the
- 24:20Speaker 1: Jaguars coaching staff is as good as I think they are,
- 24:23Speaker 1: they're going to take advantage of bigger, stronger, faster, more
- 24:25Speaker 1: athletic players and be able to convert some of this
- 24:28Speaker 1: fourth quarter close losses the fourth quarter close wins. Yes,
- 24:39Speaker 1: Brian could not agree more. And I think a lot
- 24:41Speaker 1: of that position we've been saying that a couple of seasons,
- 24:45Speaker 1: saying that they don't have that number one big guy
- 24:48Speaker 1: like a Larry Fitzgerald or Antnio Brown, but they have
- 24:51Speaker 1: a lot of guys that can contribute. I think you're
- 24:53Speaker 1: seeing that across a lot of position groups. This year
- 24:55Speaker 1: for the Jaguars Roster and that is our new segment.
- 24:58Speaker 1: I can't help but think when we come back, we
- 25:01Speaker 1: have some top tweet You're on the Jaguars Digital Network, Helvida,

- 27:00Speaker 1: stuck on the sidelines. Do Vall Motor Company will service
- 27:03Speaker 1: any make, any model at any of their first post locations.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Top tweets. I know I can't see John, but I
- 27:19Speaker 1: know he laughs every single time that top tweets music
- 27:22Speaker 1: comes on Good Times, which we were back in the
- 27:24Speaker 1: studio to see that as we get into some top tweets,
- 27:27Speaker 1: and I know almost everyone saw top tweet number one,
- 27:30Speaker 1: and that is Gardner Minshew's new bud Light campaign had
- 27:34Speaker 1: us all laughing yesterday afternoon. Bud Light will send a
- 27:38Speaker 1: case of beer if you draft Gardner Minshew as your
- 27:41Speaker 1: starting quarterback and fantasy and send them a screenshot. John,
- 27:46Speaker 1: I don't think I can think of a more perfect
- 27:49Speaker 1: campaign than this one for Gardner mit Chew whig is,
- 27:58Speaker 1: he knows his stick. It's all it's all perfect, all
- 28:01Speaker 1: lines up, and you know, credit bud Light for seeing
- 28:04Speaker 1: a guy that they could sort of latch onto and
- 28:07Speaker 1: would get it. And again, actually we've talked about one thing.
- 28:10Speaker 1: I hope fans understand. I think fans of this show,
- 28:13Speaker 1: because they obviously follow the Jaguars closely, get it. But
- 28:16Speaker 1: Garter does stuff like this and this is about ten,
- 28:19Speaker 1: you know, ten percent or less of his day, you know,
- 28:25Speaker 1: and it's probably one percent of his day. He's a
- 28:28Speaker 1: diligent guy on the field and at the stadium. This
- 28:34Speaker 1: is all fun for him, but he's a hard worker.
- 28:37Speaker 1: I hope that doesn't get lost. But yes, this is
- 28:40Speaker 1: a perfect fit for Gardner Minshew. Yeah, Gardner mans who
- 28:45Speaker 1: definitely not a craft Bear, shock pop type of guy,
- 28:49Speaker 1: a bud Light type of guy. And I think it
- 28:51Speaker 1: speaks to I've gotten a lot of questions. I don't
- 28:53Speaker 1: know if you, John have as well as where has
- 28:55Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew been all offseason? You didn't really see any
- 28:58Speaker 1: of the social media campaign is all you really saw
- 29:01Speaker 1: was him working out in Naples. So this is truly
- 29:04Speaker 1: the only one big joking thing he's done in about
- 29:07Speaker 1: eight months. And I think that says something that he
- 29:09Speaker 1: definitely has been focusing on football. Just he does something
- 29:12Speaker 1: fun like this once let it slide. The guys having
- 29:14Speaker 1: fun and definitely focusing at training camp and we're sticking
- 29:18Speaker 1: with Gardner Minshew and top tweets. Jowan Taylor on CBS
- 29:22Speaker 1: Sports Radio yesterday says, this is definitely Gardner Minshew's team.
- 29:27Speaker 1: He's a true leader. He's getting more confident in what
- 29:31Speaker 1: he does every single day. Joan Taylor that that draft
- 29:35Speaker 1: class is definitely very close along with d J. Chark
- 29:38Speaker 1: and Josh Allen. Jowan Taylor one of Gardner Minshew's biggest fans,
- 29:41Speaker 1: always speaking to how he is playing. But John, I
- 29:44Speaker 1: think we talk about d J. H R and Gardner
- 29:47Speaker 1: Minshew's relationship. This is another huge one is this offensive
- 29:51Speaker 1: line with Gardner. I think Joan Taylor's leading the way here. Look,
- 29:56Speaker 1: nobody around the Jaguars is not on the Gardener to train.
- 30:01Speaker 1: Everybody loves this guy. Everybody respects this guy. Everybody wants
- 30:04Speaker 1: to play for this guy. Everybody wants to pull in
- 30:07Speaker 1: the direction to let this guy succeed and have him
- 30:10Speaker 1: help him succeed. Um, it's it is his team and
- 30:15Speaker 1: now he has got to perform on the field and
- 30:17Speaker 1: have it remain his team. But never let there be
- 30:21Speaker 1: any doubt that this locker room, he is the leader
- 30:25Speaker 1: and as the quarterback, he has to continue earning that.
- 30:28Speaker 1: That's that's the NFL. But he's definitely got the team
- 30:31Speaker 1: right now, so here's hoping he holds onto yeaph definitely
- 30:37Speaker 1: has the team and now has all the love of
- 30:39Speaker 1: Jack Fille if he didn't already with that bud Life video,
- 30:42Speaker 1: I know everyone's loving that. And that is top tweets.
- 30:44Speaker 1: When we come back on Jaguar's drive time, some losing
- 30:47Speaker 1: thoughts coming up. Hey, ax, fans, we all know do
