Ep. 28: Offensive Line Changes in Week 5? | Jags A.M. Podcast · Jags A.M.

0:19
Speaker 1: Welcome into jags am here in not so sunny but
0:23
Speaker 1: beautiful England as we are presented by Jet Home Loans. Today,
0:26
Speaker 1: you guys were on location, not the Honday Studios, but
0:28
Speaker 1: Honday Studios on location and it's pretty much as good
0:31
Speaker 1: as this is going to get for environments.
0:33
Speaker 2: It's at least in terms for practice.
0:34
Speaker 3: Ranberry Studios sounds almost the same there studios.
0:37
Speaker 1: Yes, John, I know you don't like to be away
0:39
Speaker 1: from home, but we're doing okay.
0:40
Speaker 2: Right, this is awesome. It's awesome.
0:42
Speaker 1: Look at this. We got positive job today. I'm excited.
0:44
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into our big things right away.
0:47
Speaker 1: Big thing number one this week is going to be
0:49
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. And this week Josh Allen can mean two
0:52
Speaker 1: different people, because as we know, we have our Josh
0:54
Speaker 1: Allen and this week we're gonna be facing off against
0:56
Speaker 1: Bill's quarterback Josh Allen and that will not be a
1:00
Speaker 1: light test because what we've seen from him the last
1:02
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, Brian has been him at peak form.
1:04
Speaker 3: Well you know, he threw the three interceptions on opening
1:08
Speaker 3: night against the Jets and everyone said, while, oh, there's
1:11
Speaker 3: Josh Allen. He's regressing since then he's throwing eight touchdowns
1:14
Speaker 3: in one interception, completed seventy seven percent of his passes,
1:18
Speaker 3: and oh, by the way, these Bills have scored thirty eight,
1:21
Speaker 3: thirty seven, and forty one points or partly forty eight
1:23
Speaker 3: points for an average of forty one. You name it.
1:26
Speaker 3: They're doing it well, especially on offense. And Josh Allen
1:29
Speaker 3: is playing like an MVP right now.
1:31
Speaker 2: Well, when he's right, he's as good as any quarterback
1:34
Speaker 2: in the league, including Mahomes, mainly because he has that
1:38
Speaker 2: running ability where he can just run through guys. His
1:41
Speaker 2: issue over the years has been every once in a
1:43
Speaker 2: while he has a game much like Week one, where
1:47
Speaker 2: you say, oh, you know, there's that guys. It's a
1:51
Speaker 2: very dangerous task and they need again for the Jaguars
1:56
Speaker 2: Josh Allen to be the best Josh Allen on the field,
1:59
Speaker 2: which a couple years ago.
2:00
Speaker 3: You know, there's there. You can look at numbers, you know,
2:02
Speaker 3: six six, two fifty looks different on some people. This
2:07
Speaker 3: is a big If you stand next to him on
2:09
Speaker 3: Sunday at any point, you will see he looks like
2:11
Speaker 3: an offensive tackle, right. I mean, he's not quite as
2:13
Speaker 3: heavy as an offensive tackle, but He's just massive, broad shoulders,
2:17
Speaker 3: long arms. When he's in the pocket, he's very difficult
2:20
Speaker 3: to bring down. And more so than that, when he
2:22
Speaker 3: gets up a full head of steam, he's not scared
2:24
Speaker 3: to put his shoulder down and push through someone to
2:26
Speaker 3: get to the first down marker. He is as dangerous
2:29
Speaker 3: a quarterback as there is.
2:30
Speaker 1: John. Are we going to see another example of the
2:32
Speaker 1: battle of the Josh Allen's like we saw last time,
2:34
Speaker 1: where our Josh Allen had a day?
2:36
Speaker 2: Well, you sure hope. So, I mean I got a
2:38
Speaker 2: question a couple of days ago about you know, well
2:41
Speaker 2: the Jaguar used the same strategy that they did two
2:44
Speaker 2: years ago. Well, they're not gonna want to use the
2:46
Speaker 2: nine point game, so.
2:48
Speaker 3: I'm gonna hold those guys to six.
2:49
Speaker 2: Well I don't think they're gonna winn to score nine either,
2:51
Speaker 2: So I don't think they used the offensive game plan.
2:54
Speaker 2: But if they can have a game plan where Josh
2:55
Speaker 2: Allen Jaguars, Josh Allen is disruptive and somehow get the
3:01
Speaker 2: Bills Josh Allen into one of those days where he
3:04
Speaker 2: forces something where he just does stuff he doesn't wanted to.
3:07
Speaker 2: That's what you want, and this Josh Allen mean the
3:11
Speaker 2: Jaguars this year, there's no reason to think he's not
3:15
Speaker 2: going to play well right now. So I think there's
3:16
Speaker 2: a chance.
3:17
Speaker 3: You could absolutely see Josh Allen and Josh Allen. But
3:19
Speaker 3: I think it's more likely if the Jaguars win on
3:21
Speaker 3: Sunday that you see Travon Walker's name coming into it,
3:23
Speaker 3: because they desperately need more pressure from him off the
3:27
Speaker 3: other edge, and you know, while we're at it, the
3:28
Speaker 3: guy's pushing the pocket on Sunday could really help force
3:32
Speaker 3: him to step out and give them a better chance.
3:34
Speaker 3: But they really need Travon Walker to come through on
3:36
Speaker 3: Sunday because you know, the Bills are going to slide
3:38
Speaker 3: the protection towards Josh Allen, knowing what he did to
3:40
Speaker 3: them two years ago and knowing what he did a
3:42
Speaker 3: week ago.
3:43
Speaker 1: Our big thing number two this week is going to
3:45
Speaker 1: be cavalry because we've got some help coming back this week.
3:48
Speaker 1: Cam has been taken off of the suspension list, so
3:52
Speaker 1: he's back practicing. He could be available to play this week,
3:55
Speaker 1: say Jones, is a potential possibility at Agnew's working his
3:58
Speaker 1: way back. When you look at that, is that hopeful
4:01
Speaker 1: for us? I mean, I know, things aren't going great
4:02
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball right now, but
4:04
Speaker 1: some people are coming back.
4:05
Speaker 2: It's always better to have your guys than not have
4:07
Speaker 2: your guys. And I do think Cam Robinson, if he
4:12
Speaker 2: can play left tackle, will matter. It would enable him
4:16
Speaker 2: to move Walk a little somewhere and help everybody. When
4:23
Speaker 2: Cam was suspended, there was this overall feeling of, well,
4:26
Speaker 2: his contract might be up at the end of the season,
4:28
Speaker 2: let's move Walker a little there, don't worry about maybe
4:31
Speaker 2: even trick, you know, Brian, When guys are starters and
4:35
Speaker 2: five or six year starters in the NFL, they're that
4:38
Speaker 2: for a reason. Cam matters this offensive line on the
4:41
Speaker 2: field and off the field.
4:42
Speaker 3: Well, the reason the conversation about the salary cap came
4:45
Speaker 3: up is because he's got a twenty three million dollar
4:47
Speaker 3: cap figure next year, one of four players over twenty
4:50
Speaker 3: three million dollars, and they have to pay a quarterback,
4:53
Speaker 3: maybe a quarnerback, maybe a pass rusher. So that's why
4:55
Speaker 3: that conversation came up. And honestly, the inside of the
4:58
Speaker 3: line has been so effective that they need Cam back
5:02
Speaker 3: so they can move Walker little in And I'm going
5:05
Speaker 3: to talk about that to a greater degree coming up
5:08
Speaker 3: with this or that. So I'll talk more about the
5:12
Speaker 3: fact that you get Jay Jones potentially back this week.
5:15
Speaker 3: He's such a clutch guy for the quarterback and we
5:18
Speaker 3: haven't seen him in a couple of weeks. He's always
5:20
Speaker 3: seemingly there when he needs them, and it's not just
5:23
Speaker 3: like the dump off, it's oh, there's a twenty two
5:25
Speaker 3: yards down the field on third and nine. And not
5:28
Speaker 3: having him the last two weeks, the offense has seemed
5:31
Speaker 3: a bit out of rhythm. Not that Zay Jones is
5:33
Speaker 3: the heartbeat of the offense, but he's more important than
5:35
Speaker 3: people give him credit for. We talk about Christian Kirk,
5:38
Speaker 3: Evan Ingram, Calvin Ridley, Travis, etn. Zay Jones is no
5:43
Speaker 3: less important than any of them when you look at
5:45
Speaker 3: the overall flow of the offense, and I think it's
5:48
Speaker 3: big one other guy. And I don't know who's back
5:49
Speaker 3: this week, but we could hear today from the head
5:52
Speaker 3: coach that he is going to be activated to the
5:54
Speaker 3: twenty one day practice window. Was Duwan Smoot And we've
5:57
Speaker 3: talked about the practice and the pass rush. That would
6:00
Speaker 3: be an interesting one where we can find that up
6:02
Speaker 3: this morning.
6:02
Speaker 1: Antonio Johnson's been practicing as well, so there's a lot
6:05
Speaker 1: of names of different people that'll be coming back in
6:07
Speaker 1: the coming week. So that's something to keep an eye
6:09
Speaker 1: on for sure. Our final big thing today is second
6:11
Speaker 1: of four because the second of the four big AFC
6:16
Speaker 1: matchups that they have this season. Obviously Kansas City was
6:18
Speaker 1: one of them the Bills this week, and then we'll
6:20
Speaker 1: have Cincinnati and the Ravens a little bit later on
6:23
Speaker 1: in the season, and of the AFC elites, right, that's
6:25
Speaker 1: kind of where you measure yourself up against them. John
6:28
Speaker 1: I know we'll go into a little bit of the
6:29
Speaker 1: Kansas City versus this game with the Bills, but it's
6:32
Speaker 1: always good to see where you're at against the team
6:34
Speaker 1: you know we'll be around in the playoffs.
6:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you know, I think of the two games
6:39
Speaker 2: that they played in London last week really mattered. I
6:44
Speaker 2: think that had more of a must feel than this
6:46
Speaker 2: game it has. If you dropped to two and three,
6:49
Speaker 2: you don't want to drop to two and three, But
6:50
Speaker 2: if you dropped to two and three, you've got the
6:52
Speaker 2: Colts next week and you still fight, you it's still
6:56
Speaker 2: within range. If you drop this game, This is more
7:00
Speaker 2: of a measuring state game. It's one of four or five.
7:04
Speaker 2: Don't forget Frisco is in there too at the AFC,
7:07
Speaker 2: but a monster game. So this is one of those,
7:11
Speaker 2: and you would like to get it. If you don't
7:14
Speaker 2: get it, it's not the end of the world. Don't
7:18
Speaker 2: love the chances that the Bills play well because Bills
7:20
Speaker 2: are at such a high level right now. It's not
7:22
Speaker 2: knocking the Jaguars. Bills might be the best team in
7:25
Speaker 2: football right now.
7:25
Speaker 3: I think they are, which is why I think this
7:27
Speaker 3: is interesting because with Kansas City, you know how they
7:30
Speaker 3: like to play, and you've been close. I mean, you
7:32
Speaker 3: can go back and look last November, last January, this
7:34
Speaker 3: game that we just saw in September, and now you
7:38
Speaker 3: get a completely different Bills team than this club has
7:40
Speaker 3: seen in a while. Two years ago, they were coming
7:42
Speaker 3: off of a big win in Kansas City on a
7:44
Speaker 3: Sunday night, and I thought we'd see that powerhouse Bills team.
7:47
Speaker 3: We didn't. For whatever reason. They were completely ineffective. They
7:50
Speaker 3: were totally flat that day. It was a nine to
7:52
Speaker 3: six game. I expect that we're going to see on
7:54
Speaker 3: Sunday those Bills that put forty eight points up against
7:57
Speaker 3: the Dolphins, that powerhouse football team, and I want to
8:00
Speaker 3: know how this team matches up.
8:01
Speaker 1: Sure, I think we will definitely see some of that
8:03
Speaker 1: on Sunday here on jags Am. One of our sponsors,
8:06
Speaker 1: Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville, Step up to Luxury Fields Auto
8:09
Speaker 1: dot Com. We'll be right back talking a little bit
8:11
Speaker 1: more about what's going on in the division in the
8:13
Speaker 1: AFC South. So we're back here on jags Am this
8:18
Speaker 1: morning on location in London as the team prepares for
8:21
Speaker 1: their second game abroad, as they'll take on the Buffalo
8:24
Speaker 1: Bills this week. But we're gonna check in around the
8:26
Speaker 1: AFC South see what everybody else is doing, because everybody's
8:29
Speaker 1: tied it two and two right now, so the playing
8:31
Speaker 1: field is up for grabs and the lead is up
8:33
Speaker 1: for grabs, I guess. Depending on this week, we're gonna
8:35
Speaker 1: start it with the Titans, who just beat down on
8:37
Speaker 1: the Bengals, which I don't know if it says more
8:38
Speaker 1: about them or says more about where the Bengals are
8:40
Speaker 1: at right now, if they're just falling apart or what's
8:42
Speaker 1: going on there. But it's it's crazy to say this.
8:44
Speaker 3: League is so interesting because two weeks ago the Cleveland
8:47
Speaker 3: Browns just took apart the Titans. They couldn't do anything
8:50
Speaker 3: right and they beat them twenty seven to three. Then
8:52
Speaker 3: you go get a team that many consider to be
8:54
Speaker 3: a favorite in the AFC this year in Cincinnati, and
8:57
Speaker 3: they did everything right and they beat them twenty seven
8:59
Speaker 3: to three. Right, I mean, which team is it? I'll
9:03
Speaker 3: say this, they got a big game from Derrick Henry,
9:07
Speaker 3: which is what has powered them. It's made Ryan Tannehill
9:10
Speaker 3: so effective since he joined them in twenty nineteen. If
9:13
Speaker 3: they can continue to get that, we'll see the good Titans.
9:16
Speaker 3: On the days where he's bottled up, it's all on
9:18
Speaker 3: Tannehill in his arm, and they don't have the receivers
9:21
Speaker 3: necessarily to take over a game. But when the running
9:23
Speaker 3: game works, man, they're good.
9:24
Speaker 2: Yeah. And it really is a week to week league
9:29
Speaker 2: in the AFC South. Two long standing NFL truce have
9:33
Speaker 2: comeing to me week to weekly leagues one of them.
9:35
Speaker 2: And you just don't know what the league is until
9:36
Speaker 2: about five or six weeks in. Are the Titans that team?
9:41
Speaker 2: I don't think we know yet. I've said all along though,
9:45
Speaker 2: count them out at your own peril under Mike Vrabel,
9:48
Speaker 2: this team always seems to have three and one, two
9:52
Speaker 2: and two to start, and then they get it together.
9:55
Speaker 2: If they stay healthy, they're always dangerous. Out of the
9:57
Speaker 2: teams in the division. The Titans to me to still
10:00
Speaker 2: feel like the team because of that element and they
10:03
Speaker 2: know who they are. They always feel dangerous until they're eliminade.
10:06
Speaker 3: He's a veteran coach and a guy who always seems
10:08
Speaker 3: to have a murder to go.
10:09
Speaker 1: Always seems to find a way he does elsewhere in
10:12
Speaker 1: the division. The Texans man handled the Steelers, and again
10:16
Speaker 1: the Texans are starting to show a little something, maybe
10:19
Speaker 1: sooner than we expect it.
10:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, CJ. Stroud is coming out of the gates like
10:22
Speaker 3: Ben Roethlisberger did, right, Only Ben Roethlisberger had Jerome Pettis
10:26
Speaker 3: and an excellent defense and they don't necessarily have all
10:29
Speaker 3: the weapons around. So he's been really impressive and very composed.
10:33
Speaker 3: I still don't think he's throwing an interception, which is
10:35
Speaker 3: remarkable for a rookie quarterback. I think that meltdown moment
10:39
Speaker 3: is probably coming, but that's only you know, based on
10:42
Speaker 3: a longstanding history in the league of it happening to
10:45
Speaker 3: every rookie quarterback. I wet it didn't happen to Ben.
10:49
Speaker 3: He won eleven games in a row. So Stroud is
10:51
Speaker 3: either going to have his letdown or he's going to
10:55
Speaker 3: be Ben Roethlisberger, which is not a good sign for
10:57
Speaker 3: the Jags in the division. It means he's gonna be
11:00
Speaker 3: for a long time. Yeah.
11:01
Speaker 2: I think the Texans are okay. I think the Jaguars
11:06
Speaker 2: played poorly against him, so I think that gave the
11:09
Speaker 2: Texans a chance to look really good in Jackson and
11:12
Speaker 2: not taking the victory away from him, but they looked
11:14
Speaker 2: really good in that game because the Jaguars looked really bad.
11:18
Speaker 2: I sort of wonder if the Steelers aren't sort of
11:23
Speaker 2: maybe they should be in AFC South because they've been
11:26
Speaker 2: up and down, up and down. Yeah, So I don't
11:28
Speaker 2: know if we can figure out yet what the Steelers
11:30
Speaker 2: are to say that the Texans are a power, but
11:33
Speaker 2: they're sure not in that bottom five of the league
11:36
Speaker 2: that people thought they were aforehand. They're more tough to
11:41
Speaker 2: figure for me than the Titans. I don't quite believe
11:44
Speaker 2: they're great, but they're better than we thought.
11:46
Speaker 3: Well, Jamika Ryans is getting a lot of credit in Houston,
11:48
Speaker 3: as they should for the job that he has done coaching,
11:51
Speaker 3: and he's got that defense playing better than their talent
11:53
Speaker 3: would seem to indicate. It's interesting because Mike Tomlin, who
11:56
Speaker 3: is as tough a tough guy as there is in
11:58
Speaker 3: the league, was all over his team postgame and early
12:01
Speaker 3: this week about the fact that they got manhandled by
12:04
Speaker 3: the Texas. The Steelers are not used to being the
12:06
Speaker 3: team that is pushed all over the field, especially not
12:09
Speaker 3: with a big power back like Najie Harris, but teams
12:11
Speaker 3: have done it to them, and the Texans did on Sunday.
12:13
Speaker 1: Very interesting the people that were taking that quarterback in
12:15
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh over Trevor Lawrence. Right about now, we're gonna check
12:19
Speaker 1: out the Colts. That's our final thing in the AFC South.
12:21
Speaker 1: They lost a close one in overtime to the Rams
12:24
Speaker 1: this week, and they're gonna be the opponent we see
12:26
Speaker 1: when we head back to Jacksonville, and they look like
12:28
Speaker 1: they're putting some things together as well.
12:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like it's gonna be a big game.
12:32
Speaker 2: I mean, it's going to be a chance, no matter
12:35
Speaker 2: what happens on Sunday for the Jaguars to get two
12:38
Speaker 2: games over division rivals, so it's gonna be key. I
12:41
Speaker 2: think most people thought Brian before the season that if
12:44
Speaker 2: you played Minshew over Anthony Richardson, it would give the
12:47
Speaker 2: Colts a better chance for the short term. It would
12:51
Speaker 2: be interesting if they win Sunday and they go into
12:55
Speaker 2: Jacksonville and if they can get to a certain number
12:58
Speaker 2: of wins, do they stick with Minshew, you know, because
13:03
Speaker 2: they think they've got something right now, or they go
13:05
Speaker 2: back to him. I have no idea the answer to that.
13:07
Speaker 3: Well, Richardson played last week against the Rams.
13:10
Speaker 2: Well that shows me I was over in London.
13:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, he played against the Rams and he played well
13:14
Speaker 3: and got them a chance to get back into the
13:16
Speaker 3: ball game. So I imagine they'll they'll stay with him.
13:19
Speaker 3: What's interesting is if you go back to opening Day,
13:21
Speaker 3: the Jaguars offensive line played very poorly, inconsistently. Phil Rauscher
13:27
Speaker 3: would say against that Colt's defensive front, which is why
13:30
Speaker 3: they need to make some adjustments to the offensive line
13:33
Speaker 3: and get it right with Cam Robinson back, because if
13:36
Speaker 3: you're gonna beat the Cults, you're gonna have to control
13:37
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage. They didn't do a good job
13:39
Speaker 3: of that on opening day, and it'll be a measuring
13:42
Speaker 3: stick for the offensive line if they're ready to go
13:44
Speaker 3: and play them when we get back to Jacksonville.
13:47
Speaker 1: We're gonna do some more offensive line talk when we
13:49
Speaker 1: come back here on Jags Am. Stay with us, and
13:51
Speaker 1: we got this or that coming up after the break.
14:00
Speaker 4: Y'all look good man, I'm great great, Y'll look good
14:03
Speaker 4: Man's pistol formation.
14:06
Speaker 5: Play fake Trevor rolling left fire that's caught by to
14:09
Speaker 5: Evan Ingram. He's got a forty five in the falcon
14:12
Speaker 5: serratory along the air sideline.
14:19
Speaker 3: Hey, why don't be a doll?
14:20
Speaker 1: Bro?
14:20
Speaker 3: Whyn't be a doll?
14:21
Speaker 2: Bro?
14:21
Speaker 3: Hey?
14:22
Speaker 4: Sit down, big fella, sit down, get your rest all right?
14:25
Speaker 3: Why the fight, man? Why the fight? Bro?
14:27
Speaker 5: Wait?
14:27
Speaker 3: You step up? Way to step up?
14:28
Speaker 2: All day?
14:29
Speaker 1: Bro?
14:29
Speaker 3: That was big Tom brother.
14:35
Speaker 1: Miked up for us this week in that game at
14:37
Speaker 1: Wembley Stadium. I found out we are three and oh
14:40
Speaker 1: when Evan is miked up. So we should do that
14:41
Speaker 1: a little bit more.
14:42
Speaker 3: I think right put one on him permanently.
14:44
Speaker 2: Was that the play where they were still singing sweet? Yeah?
14:47
Speaker 3: He talked about that.
14:48
Speaker 2: That was fantastic. It was so funny.
14:49
Speaker 1: He was like, Yeah, I knew they're coming to me
14:50
Speaker 1: and I couldn't hear anything or the snap, so I
14:52
Speaker 1: just kind.
14:53
Speaker 2: Of ran ritz love sweet cairline.
14:55
Speaker 1: Oh they sure do, which I didn't know outside of Boston,
14:58
Speaker 1: but apparently it's very popular here in the UK as well.
15:00
Speaker 1: So we're going to get to our price dot Com
15:02
Speaker 1: this or that today, Brian, do you want to kick
15:05
Speaker 1: us off? What's your this or that for?
15:06
Speaker 3: Else? The Jaguars have a rare opportunity because you've got
15:09
Speaker 3: a starting left tackle who is coming off suspension, You've
15:12
Speaker 3: got a left tackle who has started in his place
15:15
Speaker 3: who has played well, and you've got a valuable reserve
15:18
Speaker 3: who is extremely close with this quarterback. So do you
15:21
Speaker 3: make the wholesale changes? I assume John, like you have
15:24
Speaker 3: been saying that we're going to see Walker little slide
15:26
Speaker 3: inside and Cam into the lineup. But I'm saying because
15:29
Speaker 3: Luke Fortner has not played well this year. He just hasn't.
15:32
Speaker 3: And the thought was he would get stronger, and he
15:35
Speaker 3: hasn't because he's getting pushed at the line of scrimmage
15:37
Speaker 3: and that is throwing off the timing of the offense.
15:40
Speaker 3: As far as I can tell So I would make
15:42
Speaker 3: the whole sale change. I take Shylo Shatley, who has
15:44
Speaker 3: played center here at a very high level for them
15:46
Speaker 3: when they have needed it, move him to center, put
15:49
Speaker 3: Walker Little in at left guard, and I would put
15:52
Speaker 3: Cam Robbinson at left tackle. And I know you're going
15:53
Speaker 3: to say that the quarterback centers thing is important, continuity
15:57
Speaker 3: all that, But Tyler Shatley is he and Trevor are
16:02
Speaker 3: very tight, right, They share the same agent, they share
16:04
Speaker 3: the same pastor, they share the same alum you know,
16:07
Speaker 3: Alma mater. I mean, these guys are tight, and I
16:09
Speaker 3: think he's a calming factor for Trevor Lawrence. So I
16:12
Speaker 3: would go ahead and make the wholesale change.
16:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, I certainly wouldn't rule that out. I don't think
16:16
Speaker 2: we'll have a great idea if that's gonna happen or not,
16:20
Speaker 2: maybe U till game time because they do. I would
16:23
Speaker 2: not rule it out. Because of Shatley's strength and they
16:25
Speaker 2: have gotten too much push on the interior. I don't
16:29
Speaker 2: think it would be a bad idea. The counter argument
16:32
Speaker 2: against it would be, as you say, there is some
16:35
Speaker 2: continuity not only with quarterback, both offensive line calls that
16:41
Speaker 2: teams don't like to change centers unless they have to.
16:44
Speaker 2: I think it's a fascinating storyline all season. I mean
16:47
Speaker 2: all week, though, Ryan.
16:49
Speaker 1: I'm curious if Cam will get in immediately because there's
16:51
Speaker 1: still some speculation about whether he'll be ready to go.
16:53
Speaker 1: He's been around the team, but he hasn't been practicing yet,
16:55
Speaker 1: so I think he will be.
16:56
Speaker 3: But he wasn't a great shape in August and they
16:58
Speaker 3: were unhappy with him. He needed to get he needed
17:02
Speaker 3: to dial it in while he was away. From what
17:04
Speaker 3: I've heard right from people in the building last week
17:07
Speaker 3: is that he looks good okay.
17:09
Speaker 2: And my guess with Cam is he probably knew he
17:11
Speaker 2: wasn't going to need to be ready until now. He's
17:14
Speaker 2: a veteran knows how to get his body ready. I
17:16
Speaker 2: would guess that's the case. We'll see.
17:18
Speaker 1: That's what i've heard, all right, John, what's here this
17:20
Speaker 1: or that for us this week in terms of kind
17:22
Speaker 1: of a tough test.
17:23
Speaker 2: Well tougher test of the Kansas City Chiefs, who you
17:26
Speaker 2: would think would have been the toughest test of the season,
17:29
Speaker 2: being the defending Super Bowl champions, and they're brutally tough
17:31
Speaker 2: no matter what or the Buffalo Bills in Week five
17:35
Speaker 2: before the season, I think most people would have said
17:37
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. And this is nothing against the Chiefs, but
17:40
Speaker 2: when they came in, Brian, you remember, Travis Kelcey wasn't
17:43
Speaker 2: quite up to speed, Chris Jones. They had great games,
17:47
Speaker 2: but they didn't feel like the Chiefs.
17:49
Speaker 3: Yet.
17:50
Speaker 2: Whatever the Bills are, they feel like the Bills. So
17:52
Speaker 2: I think this it's hard to imagine the Jaguars this
17:56
Speaker 2: season facing a team coming in hotter. Something you said
18:00
Speaker 2: earlier sort of triggered me thinking they had played the Chiefs,
18:04
Speaker 2: so they sort of knew what to expect. We sort
18:06
Speaker 2: of knew the matchups to watch. With the Bills. I
18:10
Speaker 2: don't think anything that happened two years ago really was
18:13
Speaker 2: this week. I have no idea what to expect. I
18:15
Speaker 2: do expect that this team, meaning the Jaguars, needs to
18:18
Speaker 2: score at least twenty eight to win this game, maybe more.
18:22
Speaker 2: You can see the defense holding them into the twenties.
18:24
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're gonna hold them into the teams.
18:25
Speaker 2: So I think we need to see the Jaguars offense
18:29
Speaker 2: that we thought we were gonna see this season.
18:30
Speaker 3: All right, So I think I think it's by far.
18:32
Speaker 3: I think Buffalo and people will take this as an
18:35
Speaker 3: offense towards Kanasit. They don't mean it that way. They
18:37
Speaker 3: beat you with scheme. They beat you by putting wide
18:39
Speaker 3: receivers in the pattern that you can't possibly cover, and
18:42
Speaker 3: a quarterback that you can't possibly stop. These guys just
18:46
Speaker 3: overpower you with a line of scrimmage. He realized they're
18:50
Speaker 3: averaging forty one points a game the last three games,
18:53
Speaker 3: and the Jaguars are scored forty two points in the
18:56
Speaker 3: last three games. They're holding their opponents to only eight.
18:59
Speaker 3: This is a game of power and they are just
19:03
Speaker 3: giving it to people. A number that I came across.
19:06
Speaker 3: Number one. We've talked about the Jags red zone problems.
19:08
Speaker 3: The Jaguars have nine red zone possessions, they have four
19:11
Speaker 3: touchdowns and three field goals nine They've scored one touchdown
19:14
Speaker 3: in their last six trips to the red zone since
19:17
Speaker 3: opening day. The Bills have nineteen and they've scored thirteen
19:21
Speaker 3: touchdowns and five field goals. And they're doing it with
19:26
Speaker 3: the power. So I say this is a much greater test.
19:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, Miami was the flavor of the week last season.
19:32
Speaker 3: I mean I can't sit. They get you with more
19:34
Speaker 3: guys than you can cover.
19:35
Speaker 2: But the Bills I think are only eleven points behind
19:38
Speaker 2: Miami in terms of in terms of total scoring this season.
19:41
Speaker 2: The Bills might be the flavor of the season. You know,
19:43
Speaker 2: we said did their flavor of the week and it's TV.
19:46
Speaker 1: Yeah.
19:46
Speaker 3: I know you're really good at too, John. I just
19:47
Speaker 3: want to point out we talked earlier about how good
19:49
Speaker 3: a league is week to week, and we talked about
19:51
Speaker 3: Tennessee giving up, you know, winning twenty seventy three one
19:54
Speaker 3: week and then losing twenty seventy three. How about this
19:56
Speaker 3: the Dolphins scored seventy and then give up fifty? Yeah, right,
20:00
Speaker 3: how good are you week to week? They're good? But
20:02
Speaker 3: are they as good as the Bills?
20:04
Speaker 1: I don't know, all right, My this or that this
20:06
Speaker 1: week is going to be part of the players returning.
20:08
Speaker 1: If you know, we have at this point on Wednesday,
20:10
Speaker 1: we don't know if Cam is going to start this weekend,
20:12
Speaker 1: that's definitely a possibility. And then Zay Jones from all
20:15
Speaker 1: accounts was expected to possibly be available for this game
20:18
Speaker 1: against the Bills. So if you can only have one,
20:20
Speaker 1: which one would you rather have?
20:21
Speaker 2: Back?
20:21
Speaker 1: First, and who's a bigger you know, has a bigger impact.
20:26
Speaker 1: I guess right out of the gate, Cam ER's day.
20:31
Speaker 2: It's tough because, as Brian said earlier in the show,
20:34
Speaker 2: Zay matters a lot, and I think he gets overlook
20:37
Speaker 2: because they have so many receivers. I'm gonna go with
20:40
Speaker 2: Cam because the offensive line has been such a struggle.
20:45
Speaker 2: I don't know that I love the pick, but I
20:47
Speaker 2: think for this week, I go with Cam.
20:49
Speaker 3: Brian, well, I'm gonna go with Cam as well. You know,
20:51
Speaker 3: because Cam strengthens two positions at once. Right, he strengthens
20:55
Speaker 3: left tackle, and he also strengthens left guard. And that's
21:00
Speaker 3: not a knock on the way that that that Uh
21:02
Speaker 3: Walker played left actle. He played well, but you're bringing
21:05
Speaker 3: in a veteran guy and he strengthens two positions at once,
21:08
Speaker 3: And so I'll say Cam. Though if za plays, I
21:10
Speaker 3: mean I expect him to make a couple of critical
21:12
Speaker 3: third down catches. So it's it's it's a toss.
21:15
Speaker 2: Up, and that's really where they've missed him man Zay.
21:18
Speaker 2: In the big moments, Uh Trevor, everybody talks about the
21:24
Speaker 2: continuity and the timing that he has with Christian Kirk,
21:27
Speaker 2: it's not that far behind his day.
21:28
Speaker 3: Well, the catch he made on that on that drive
21:31
Speaker 3: to set up the game tying field goal against Dallas
21:33
Speaker 3: last year, it was just so good. It was so
21:36
Speaker 3: indicative of how clutch he can be. And I want
21:39
Speaker 3: to see hi back in the lineup a quoite as possible.
21:41
Speaker 3: I know Trevor does.
21:42
Speaker 1: I'm going to be selfish. Hopefully both of them will
21:44
Speaker 1: come back this week and then we won't have to
21:45
Speaker 1: choose one or the other. All right, say with us,
21:47
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. We'll preview the rest of the
21:48
Speaker 1: week here on Jacks Am.
21:54
Speaker 3: And we ickle like dead tours.
22:00
Speaker 2: And he's coming, and he's coming.
22:05
Speaker 6: What a great read by Darius Williams. He literally jumped
22:09
Speaker 6: around in front of the wide receiver Drake London. This
22:12
Speaker 6: is the first interception that Darius Williams has had since
22:17
Speaker 6: going all the way back to November of twenty twenty,
22:21
Speaker 6: and what a big moment to get it when his
22:23
Speaker 6: team needed is on the road at Wembley and now
22:26
Speaker 6: they're having fun group celebrations in the Amazon.
22:29
Speaker 3: Great job in lock room before we bought to play. No,
22:33
Speaker 3: I know I remember that.
22:34
Speaker 6: I said, I got the hardest celebration and he's coming
22:37
Speaker 6: in a room, turn around, fall.
22:40
Speaker 3: Out and to go right. That's who I said, road, No,
22:43
Speaker 3: it's not for the kids.
22:47
Speaker 2: Nineteen ninety five, that's what the kids did. It's for
22:53
Speaker 2: the kids, guys.
22:53
Speaker 3: That fun stuff.
22:55
Speaker 2: That's cool.
22:55
Speaker 1: Really, So we were going to look into it, do
22:57
Speaker 1: our investigative powers. We found out Zay is the achena
23:00
Speaker 1: of the Toy Story celebration idea. Evan Ingram apparently not
23:03
Speaker 1: a fan, but it went overwhel with everybody else.
23:05
Speaker 3: How could you not be a fan after watching how
23:07
Speaker 3: good that Toy Story broadcast was? It was really good.
23:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty.
23:12
Speaker 1: Cool and I love to see anything different. Anybody get
23:15
Speaker 1: everybody else engaged and it's fun. Why not let's try
23:17
Speaker 1: it out a little bit more.
23:18
Speaker 3: You know, the reason they do those things is to
23:21
Speaker 3: grab the kids attention. Right, it's such a cluttered media world.
23:25
Speaker 3: My eighteen and nineteen year old we're talking about it,
23:28
Speaker 3: so cookerse they grew up watching it. So I know
23:31
Speaker 3: you said your son did too.
23:32
Speaker 2: Oh, no doubt. And what a cool thing for Zay
23:36
Speaker 2: to embrace it and make sure it happened. And then
23:38
Speaker 2: now the defensive players to get into it. They really
23:40
Speaker 2: are a bunch of kids sometimes and that's it's pretty cool.
23:43
Speaker 1: Pretty cool. See all right, We're going to be here
23:44
Speaker 1: for the rest of the week in England. We've got
23:46
Speaker 1: regular media day schedule, so we'll update you in get
23:49
Speaker 1: you ready for Sunday's game against the Bills throughout the week.
23:51
Speaker 1: We'll see you tomorrow on Jack's Am.
