Jags A.M. Podcast Ep. 162 | Keys to Victory in Week 1 · Jags A.M.

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

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

20:14
Speaker 6: You're talking about guys.
20:17
Speaker 4: Having a feel for the game and understand.
20:19
Speaker 2: So what happened right here?
20:21
Speaker 6: I'm calling a play, My mic cuts out.
20:25
Speaker 7: Well, we could pant it could freak out, but Trevor
20:29
Speaker 7: pulls a play.
20:30
Speaker 6: On his own and we execute it really well. But
20:35
Speaker 6: that's a great job by Trevor. I understand the man.
20:38
Speaker 6: We're playing a screw here.
20:40
Speaker 3: The MC cut out, but there's no pants.
20:43
Speaker 1: It's not hard.
20:45
Speaker 6: That's a great job of owning the system, owning the
20:48
Speaker 6: whole operation and running the show the right way. That's great.
20:59
Speaker 1: That's a scene from the most recent episode of The Hunt.
21:01
Speaker 2: Are behind the scenes documentary style show an hour long,
21:06
Speaker 2: So you want.
21:07
Speaker 1: To get ready for the season. I'll get hyped up
21:08
Speaker 1: seeing all that goes into age one.
21:10
Speaker 3: It's worth pointing out that on Sunday, it's also it's
21:14
Speaker 3: the first game for Liam Cohen as the head coach.
21:16
Speaker 3: It's the first game for each of his coordinators in
21:18
Speaker 3: their role for that matter, for Tony Bisselli and for
21:20
Speaker 3: James Gladstone. So there's a lot, I don't want to
21:23
Speaker 3: say on the line, but there's a lot of preparation
21:26
Speaker 3: and effort that's gone to get to this point where
21:29
Speaker 3: this new regime takes center stage for the first time,
21:32
Speaker 3: and it's made for an interesting week. Guys are working hard.
21:35
Speaker 6: It's been fun so far.
21:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, something's going.
21:38
Speaker 5: Here we go.
