  Speaker 1: Welcome to Jacks Drive John with Ashlyn Sell of Telling
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: John Oceans, Brian Sexton Jacks right starts right now. It
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: was great man. Um, it's really cool feeling, especially as
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: a younger guy, just having that support for my teammates
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and really, like I said, we're you know, being a
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: named starter, they're now a captain. Nothing change, the same
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: expectation and um, now it's time to dcor and win
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: some game. So but I'm really excited. It's definitely an honor.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: It's a cool, cool moment for me to be named
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the captain with those other guys, just a bunch of
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: great guys in the locker room. Um, so we had
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a ton of guys that got votes, but definitely really cool.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Jaguars have voted seven players as team captains for the season.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: There is an awesome clip up right now on Jaguars
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: social media and the front page of Jaguars dot com
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: where our broadcast team was in the room when they
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: announced the team captains. Seven of them and their families
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and friends set in videos and I'm not gonna lie.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I was tearing up in the office. It was really
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: well done. It was it was really really well I
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: mean not just the broadcast side, but especially the football side.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was a clever way for the head
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: coach to involve his team and talk about family because
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: they always do. Um. But he made it more than
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: just words. It was actions. I thought it was very
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: well done. It's cool. You can tell that means a
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: lot to Urban Meyer. He said yesterday he likes a
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: lot of captains. They do have a lot, sevens a lot.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: But you get the idea that Urban's approach to this
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: is if teammates believe X number of players are our
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: leaders and are important enough to vote for, then why
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: not have the captain? So cool? Well, it's it's ironic
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: because it was it was this week a year ago
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: that they cut Leonard for net right, um, and I'm
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: mentioning him. I don't need to pile on. But did
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you ever think he was captain material? Uh? No, no, no, no,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you didn't You didn't that that that that was a
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: rhetorical question. They didn't have enough guys. Why didn't you
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: just say, Brian, did you ever think he was catching?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Even involved me? Well, because you are sitting here and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you get the point that they have seven guys that
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: everyone sees as a leader is a story in and
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: of itself, and there was no surprises on that list. No,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: it all made perfect sense. I don't I don't think
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you had seven guys last year that you could have
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: made captain. They were eight face like musical chape. I
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: can remember it. It's hard to keep up with all
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: of it. But not everybody who gets named to captain
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: deserves it. Sometimes it's political, it wasn't in the name.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: You feel confident that all seven guys deserved it. The captain, Yes,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: and you're my captain. We get your vote. Yeah, do
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: you get to Brian? I don't know about that. I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: don't know who i'd vote for, but I don't think
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: it'd be you. No offense. All right, Welcome to Jaguars
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Drive Time, Thursday morning. Let's get into big things as
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: we get ready for a week one of the regular season.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: It is Trevor time and this will be no easy track,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: no easy task for Trevor Lawrence. On Sunday. Histories tells
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: us that a daunting record of quarterbacks pick first in
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: their first NFL game. Going back to nineteen sixty seven,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: only four quarterbacks pick number one overall have won their
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: first game Trevor Lawrence isn't really worried about that step. Yeah,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: it's super important, super important just for this new season.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I always been working for to get that first win
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: under your belt, especially a division opponent. It's huge on
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the road. Just a lot of confidence going into the season.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Like you said, it's long season and you need all
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: that confidence and get it get it rolling. So um,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that's all our focuses on right now and just taking
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: it one game out of time. Yeah, it's a long season,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: but you just gotta take it one week out of time.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: For big thing too is help him that guy, Trevor Lawrence,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: how do you help him beat the Texans on Sunday
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: while you give him a running game. The Jaguars have
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: rushed for an average of only seventy eight yards per
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: game in their last six matchups against the Texans. Those
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: matchups they've all lost. So James Robinson, Carlos Hied, Chris
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: man Hurts used them to change that narrative and give
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: your rookie quarterback a running game he can depend on.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Big thing three is upward mobility. Looking at the defrons
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: here in the belief that they will be much better
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: on all fronts this season. We spoke to Miles Jack
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: yesterday and he said, don't really worry about what everyone
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: else is saying about the Jaguars. I mean, I mean,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: it's really the in the sense, the best position of being,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because nobody's really catting in.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: People are really looking at direction. Everybody's looking at you know,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the typical guys achieved the books Pittsburgh, everybody. So as
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: long as we kind of dore in our lane, keep
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: building what we got. We have great talent, we have
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the pieces. We're getting that jail together. So that way,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: everybody trusts everybody, everybody knows what each other can do,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and then we just kind of go from there. So
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it's really a great position to be in. When everything
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: is sweet, like and you got all the media and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: it's all cool, it kind of relaxes you. When things
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: aren't going as good, it kind of puts a fire
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and need. Even this offseason, like I was even more
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: motivated from last year. It's just going one in fifteen.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, We're never I'm never experiencing that again. So, um,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: it's really a great position to being, you know what
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I mean. You just have to embrace its silence because
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: life isn't easy. It's not numbers, aren't I. Numbers can
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: get confusing too, So let's go back to the top.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Since sixty seven, when the common Draft started, there's been
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: twenty five players who have been picked number one overall
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: who have started the first game of the season. Okay,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: those guys are four twenty and one. Let me give
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you a better number, though. Go back the last ten
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: guys who have been selected number one overall, and it
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: goes back to Jamacus Russell in two thousand seven. So
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I probably should have stopped it nine because I'm not
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: sure you can compare them. But they are oh nine
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and one in their first starting no matter whether it
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: was opening they or not, which I think is a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: very telling number, more telling than that opening day number
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: one overall pick because it's your first game. Um. Some
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: of these guys didn't start until week four or five, six, Um,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I think that's weeks to the fact that no matter
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: when a rookie number one overall pick or not, but
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: when the number one overall pick starts his first game,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I mean it's hard. It's these guys in the games faster.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: The players are better, So the numbers are stacked against
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence being successful on Sunday. Those are just the numbers.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: That's just the past. But it's an indicator of the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: challenge no matter how good you are, because some of
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: these guys are. Andrew Luck didn't win, he got beat
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: forty seven. Matt Stafford didn't lose, he got beat Um,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Jamis Jami's Whiston. But Baker Mayfield, you know when against
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray tied. Kyler Murray tied the Detroit Lions. Joe
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Burrow got beat sixteen thirteen on opening Day last year. Um,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: there there's some talented guys in there. Maybe only Luck
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: compares legitimately, but it's tough for number one picks. Yeah.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I got an email from somebody about my theory that
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the best possible game for Trevor Lawrence to be two
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: D forty is two touchdowns and a sixty yard bomb.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I totally agree, And they said, well, that sounds like
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a rookie free agent quarterback numbers ideal. Why hold this
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: guy back if he's that good. Essentially, this isn't Madden.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: You don't just take these sounds. Just like Reggie Williams,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: by the way, you don't just take these guys and
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: apply them year five what they will be in the NFL.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: There's growing processes. Uh, he's a rookie quarterback, even though
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: he's incredibly talented ricky quarterback. I would take I think
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and Trevor and the coaches would take two touchdowns in
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the sixty yard That would be ideal. They'd be like
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: player of the week stuff at one point, where as
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: we talked about yesterday, you would rather have the Jaguars
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: run for a hundred and fifty yards and have um
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: James Robinson run for hundred and twenty and have a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: huge day, then you with the quarterback at the quarterback
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: throws for one and completest seven percent of his passes,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: but none of them are interceptions or turnovers. That's just
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: fine because you just want to win. Because winning with
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the number one overall pick, he's beating the odds because
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the odds are oh nine and one, because they're not
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: good odds. Thank you, my captain. All right, Speaking of
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: my captain, Myles Jack received the most votes for a
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: team captain. And it is a treat when Myles Jack
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: is in a press conference because he is very honest,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: very upfront, and I thought it was cool that he
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: was talking about Shock Quarterman and how he sees that relationship,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: kind of like Paul pazz Lesni. It was nice to
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: hear his side of it that he sees a huge
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: upside with Shack quarterman. Yeah, and he has taken a leadership.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know if in his first two years here
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I would have said this guy is going to be
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a captain some day. Um. It felt to me like
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: he likes playing. He was very, very good well leaders
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: he wasn't one. Yeah, and but now in the last
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: two years he's been a captain. He was very captain
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: ish on on the podium. Mr Day, I would love
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: to hear more from happen and she doesn't talk to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the media a whole lot. I think it would be
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: fantastic for the fans if they heard from him more,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: because he does a nice job of enunciating what the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: team is feeling. That's captain stuff. Uh. And he's certainly
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's taken under his wing just
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: because here Myles tell it. Shaq Corterman kind of forced
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: his way under his wing. He said, hey, you're gonna
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: leave me. Was good for Shock quarterman but it sounds
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: like it's a neat relationship to follow. Myles can do
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: things that other guys just can't. And you know one
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: in fifteen season he was lost, right, people didn't pay
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: attention to him, But the guy is a great football player. Yes,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: he is now a captain, the highest voted captain. We
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: have talked about captains. That's impressive not to be the
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: highest voted because they didn't, you think about it. They
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: didn't break down special teams, defense, offense, which is a
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: little unusual, but it showed you and that's how you
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: get seven guys that everybody says, Yes, that makes sense
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: to be the highest vote getter when it's an entire team.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Good for Yes. Indeed, when we come up on Jaguars
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Drive Him, we're looking into the Sunday's game against the
• 10:01

• 12:08
  Speaker 1: getting ready for Week one against the Houston Texans, and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: we now have John McClain from the Houston Chronicle joining
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: us this morning. John, thanks for being here with us.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: A pleasure, Guys, thank you for having me. All right, Johnson,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna throw it out there. What the heck
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: is going on with the Shawn Watson? I know he's
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: not playing on Sunday? Is he ever going to play
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: for the Texans? The Jaguars have not faced well against him.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Can Jacksonville here take a cide relief that they might
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: not see him in Houston anymore? As I've been writing, broadcasting, tweeting,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: texting since March. Watson will never take another snap with
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the Texans, and whenever somebody makes them an offer that
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: general manager Nick for Sarrio wats they'll trade him. Nobody
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: has done that. With all the forty two civil lawsuits,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: investigations by the NFL, Houston Police grand Jury couldn't die.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: FBI is looking into it. Nobody is gonna make an
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: offer they want under those circumstances. And he's being carried
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: on the active roster. He'll be a healthy branch every week.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And it would behoove them to wait until the next
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: draft and then trading because then they know where teams
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: are gonna finish with. Teams have multiple number one pigs.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Their ultimate goal is to get three ones and two twos.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: You can spread that out over three years. So that's
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: been the package they want, and they would have gotten
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: it before the draft, but been the lawsuits started piling up. John,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: John Ogie here, appreciate you doing this. Um what you know?
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I've heard the word fire sale with the Texans this week.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: This roster is not really done moving around. I guess, uh,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: what else do you expect this season? How many moves
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: will this team make to keep trading well, first of all,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: fire sils for people that are clueless about what's going
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: on here. They traded Bradley Roby, who had who was
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: suspended the last five games last year and kept on
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: on a disciplinary reason and was not playing this year,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: so they traded him there in the process of trading
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: him to New Orleans and they bringing players for the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: practice squad. So they've done just the opposite of the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: fire self. And going back, they could have gotten young.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: They could have traded a lot of veterans and loaded
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: up with draft choices and undrafted free agents. They only
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: have five rookies on the team, you know, they have
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: thirty one new new players. And that was the plan
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: for Nckcessario and David Culley. Both are in their position
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: for the first time. They wanted to establish a culture.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: They wanted a mindset with their players, and they thought
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: that's much easier to do with veterans who come from
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: teams where they've done that, established that foundation, and then
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: you'll start to get younger next year when they finally
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: have another number one pick and they have all their
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: picks and probably multiple picks for Deshaun Watson, John what
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: are they doing on the defensive side of the ball.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: It seems like forever ago that you had Watt and
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Clowney and Merciless and Bernard Nick McKinney in the middle,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: and they just had so many different weapons up front.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Lovey Smith wrote a different scheme. What who were they
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: relying on the defensive side of the ball to give
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: them something? This year they've switched from a three four
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: to four to three for the first time since two
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: thousand and ten. Last year they were last against the run.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: They forced the fewest turnovers nine. That's the second fewest
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: in the NFL since nineteen eighty Lovey Smith's trademark wherever
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: He's men have been turnovers. And I know preiousseason doesn't count,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: but when two of your goals are to stop the
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: run against sacks and forced turnovers, they gave up sixty
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: two yards of game running saying they forced a league
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and ten turnovers and have eleven sacks and almost all
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: of those were by backup players who are still on
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the team. So the ideas trying to get a pass
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: rush from your upfront guys. Charles Mena who defensive ender
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: slides inside and passing situation. He led them in sacks
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: with three. Last year he didn't even play. The Snaps
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: had four sacks, sixteen knits on the quarterback. And they
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: will play a lot of guys. David Culley keeps telling
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: us eight or nine, not thinking reality it will be
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: about seven. And they have so many new players up there,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: and they moved there three four outside linebackers like Whitney, Merciless,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the defensive the end, so who knows if they'll get
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: a pressure on the quarterback. They'd like to be able
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: to get after Lawrence without blitzing much. But if you're
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: gonna try to be uh, come up with a game
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: play and to confuse a rookie making his first start,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: usually you blitz, and that's not been their trademark. So
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: we'll see, all right, John, going forward with this game
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. This matchup has not been favorable to the Jaguars,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: especially recently. But but both teams are so new. What
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: are the Texans saying about this game, about the new
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Jaguars team and how do you see the shaking out?
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: They of course say all the right things, just like
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars are saying, or things they know how good
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is. It's been their misfortune that the last
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: two generational talents that would be Trevor Lawrences Andrew Luck
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: have been drafted by a FC South rivals. And when
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: they've needed quarterbacks at the top of the two thousands,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: thinks and four teen drafts, when they took Mario Williams
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and didn't have me on Glowny, there were no quarterbacks
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: like that. With their luck, they'll have the first pick
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: next year and there won't be any quarterback worth using
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: that pick on. And I gotta tell you, guys, I
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: picked the Texans here on the field goal game, but
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: because their field goal kicker Cami Fairbaring is out and
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: they've picked up Joey Slide from Carolina, I picked Jaguars
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventeen. Think it'll be low scoring, a lot of
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: field goals by both teams as both trying to run
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: the ball a lot. Pegsan's the average hundred and fifty
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: six stars a game rushing in preseason, and last year
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: they were next to worst to the Steelers and rushing
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: as they relied more heavily on Deshan Watson. They ran
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: a fewer times last year In the anytime in franchise,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: there was great that's gonna change under David Cully and
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: came from Baltimore where they led the league in rushing
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: two years in a row, and Tyrod Taylor their quarterback.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: He likes to Ronnie didn't show it in brief season,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: but he'll be involved in the running game as well.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: If I'm going Jaguars, John, big picture, I mean, you've
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: covered that, You've covered the league for more than forty
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: years in Houston for the Chronicle. You've seen great teams,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: great players, great coaches. A couple of years ago with
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and the pass rushers on defense and some
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: of the players that they had, DeAndre Hopkins not the
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: least among them. I mean, this looked like it was
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: built for the long term. Is it surprising to you
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: that we're talking about a complete and utter rebuild at
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: this point in time so quickly. I just remember thinking,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: how the Jaguars gonna catch these guys as long as
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: they have that quarterback, and and now they're beyond him.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: It would appear because they've got their guy. This time
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: last year, the Texas were going into their open or
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: coming off an ANFC South title or fourth and five
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: years they beat Buffalo in the wild card round, they
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: had a oh lead. They choked in Kansas City, and
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: we were wondering, can they went another division title? But
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: more importantly, can they finally get beyond the second round
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: of the playoffs, which they've never been able to do
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: because everything sent on the road and then they went
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: straight down the toilet. They started off the season playing
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: against Patrick Mahos. The mar Jacks had Ben Roethlisberger, Kirk Cousins,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: they rowed for. Bill O'Brien got fired. He's never been
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: the general manager because he didn't he didn't cut players
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of slacks, so he traded Clowney. J. J.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Watt was not the same without Clowney on the other side.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Now they traded Hopkins and and Watson had his best
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: statistical season in every category. He was fantastic without without Hopkins.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: But the two players they got running back David Johnson
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: and Pennsis tackle uh Ross Blacklock, neither one or starting.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: They haven't given up on Blacklock, the second year tackle,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: but they didn't get a big return on that Buck
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Bucks except maybe in the future, certainly not now. You
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: guys will see David Johnson a little bit, and you
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: might see Ross Blacklock a little bit. Watson was fantastic.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Last year, they were terrible, not because I am, but
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: because the rest of the offense and defense, and they
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: are rebuilding, and they're rebuilding just like the bag Wires.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: They've just chosen to do it with a little more
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: age than they have a youth. And I think that
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: youth movement be coming next season. John mcclaimed, We appreciate

• 22:23
  Speaker 1: called eight four four my move day or visit move
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: day movers dot com. It's been great, Honestly, I don't
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: feel like we've really missed a step. We've stayed a
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: couple of days after to get some timing routes and
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: all those things just to make sure we're good. But
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've completed a ton of balls, and even
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: last week it was funny like he couldn't really use
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: his hand that much still and he's catching everything with
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: his chest, and I don't think we had one incompletion
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: when we were throwing in the team periods and just
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: hitting his chest. You can hear it all the way
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: from where I was throwing it, so that was that
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: was cool. But he looks great and you can tell
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: his work ethic. I think him being out for a while,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: he was itching to get back. So it's been it's
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: been really nice to have him back. Wide receiver d J.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Chark ready to go for Week one against the Houston Texans,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: not listed on the injury report after missing all of
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: preseason with a hand injury or back. Jaguars drive time.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: He will, he won't, he might, And that transitions so
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: nicely to John's pick alright, alright, no surprise, DJ Chark um.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: He will start, which is significant because he wasn't playing
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: all preseason and I think that was a big difference
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: and a big reason why the offense looked the way
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: it did. Uh, he won't lead the Jaguars in receptions
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: because I continue to believe that they're going to feed
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Marvin Jones or Laviscus Tional a lot of balls underneath
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: or more underneath than Shark. So I don't think at
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: the end of the season you're gonna see DJ Chark
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: being the Jaguars quote leading receiver, but he might be
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the difference in this offense and therefore the game because
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: everything Urban Meyer's been talking about speed, speed, speed. DJ
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Tart might not be the fastest of their wide receivers,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: but he's the best fast wide receiver they have. He's
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: the guy who's gonna be in the game every play two.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: If they get play action going, he's the guy who
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: could hit that. So I'm saying that he's gonna catch
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: a fifty yard pass this week, break the game open,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: or be the field flipper that they want him to
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: be and all that work. All that, you know, pressure
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: from rban Meyer is going to pay off in a
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: week one, Yes, good one, John, Right, what do you got?
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I'll go with Carlos Hide. Um, he's going to be
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: a guy who is more important to the offense than
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: you think he's. He's the guy's gonna move the chains, right,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be the guy that on third down and
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: three powers who is way through. Um. He won't be
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: a stats guy. Um. You know, people focus on yards
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: and touchdowns when they look at backs, and rightfully, so
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: he's going to be a carry's an average guy. Right
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: If he has seven to eight carries a game that
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: averages four point five yards per carry, which is absolutely
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: capable of doing in that limited role, He's his numbers
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: are going to be as important as anyone else's. Um.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: But he might be a guy that we talked about
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: quietly as being one of the most impactful free agents
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: from this class because what he really does is allowed
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: James Robinson arrest. And Robinson talked about getting some rest
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: through the course of training camp and having the different
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: bodies in the room that all brought something different to
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the table, yet all allowed guys to keep their legs fresh.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: If he said it once, he said at four times
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: that day that he was at the podium. Fresh legs,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Fresh legs. Carlos Hide is a workhorse who will be
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: impactful but also help other guys keep their legs fresh.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: In particular, they'll be able to stay with the power
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: game with him on the field. Well done, we are
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: on it today. Let's see if I can bring it home.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Might he will? He won't, he might. We're not confident,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: which was pretty easy. This is a layup. He will
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: have a comeback game. It's a comeback game because he'll
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: be the first tell you he did not play up
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: to his standard last season. He will set the tone
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: for the defense and have a huge game against the Texans.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: He won't be the only one. No secret, the Texans
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: are struggling right now. We just heard John McClean say
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: that Caleban Chason jahad Ward. We might see a lot
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: of flips from jahad board. He won't be the only
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: one contributing to this defensive success against the Texans. He
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: might have three sacks in this game. Remember Calais Campbell's
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: big games were multiple sacks four and a half an
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: opening day in Houston. Josh Allen will have three sacks
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: against the Texans on Sunday. We're fired up to fifty
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: yard passes. Carlos Hyde setting NFL Russian records, didn't say
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: three sacks? We are ready for Houston? Yes we are?
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Can you tell ready for football? And then if he will,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: he won't, he might present it by move Day. Move

• 28:59
  Speaker 1: you by the Fields Auto Group getting ready for a
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Week one against the Houston Texans, and we are predicting
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Monday mornings headlines Today work he on Jock Gouars Drive
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Time at ten o'clock Monday morning. What are we talking about.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I'm saying the headline will be that Trevor Lawrence got
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: the job done. The rookie gets the job done. That's
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: a catchy heads He beats the odds. And it's not
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: crazy flashy numbers. It's not highlight plays. Maybe there's one
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: and all play that like John said earlier in the week,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: makes Sports Center and we checked that box. The rookie
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: gets the job done, he wins, He doesn't do anything crazy,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: he does his job. He flies home. The end I
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: like it, Uh mine is Robinson runs rough shot. It's
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: it's three rsum and I don't know that it's going
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: to be rough shot, but I think the running game
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: will be the key this week. Uh So, yeah, I
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: think that'll be the headline. But again, rookie quarterback. No
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: matter what Robinson does, Trevor will be the headline. So
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: this is a little bit not down, but that's the
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: spirit of the of the segment. Mine Mine has a
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: little subtlety to it. One is greater than fifteen in Houston.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: One being one win is so much greater than the
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: fifteen losses from a year ago, but also one representing
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, the number one overall draft pick, bigger than
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: last season, his future brighter than anything Bob behind this franchise.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: The future is very bright. So one greater than fifteen
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: for the Jacks in Houston. Love it. What do we
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: gotta go in here with your shirt? Is that the
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Sexton coat of arms? No? No, no, I have a
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: speaking engagement this morning, and I just decided that I've
• 30:40
