• 1:04
  Speaker 1: be here because this is more relaxing. That's when you know,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Memorial Day was it was more like labor day weekend
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: for me. All Right, We're on to week two of
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: O T as in Big thing one is who was
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: here last week, and that was unique in gock Way
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and Leonard for Nett. Leonard for Nett discussed why he
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: went to Wyoming. It was for an interesting reason. It
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: was to get back to just the basics of football
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: after the season we had last year. You know, I
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: think everybody kind of hit the roof star button. Then
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: we talked about what was going at you know, and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: when I went to Dallas, actually camp was out there.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I went, I went to and beyond trying for a
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: minute together. So it was kind of like play to
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: get back. It's a our foundation where we all started from.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: So learn spoke to the media on Friday of last week.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I think we all were impressed by how calm, cool
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and collected he was after his week of practice. It
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: seems like he's doing all the right things. Guys here, Well,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: he looks the part he's saying the part um we
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: all said from the time in February where it appeared okay,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: whatever the team and Leonard had to discuss had been discussed,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and that he was going and all likely to be
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: coming back because that was a thing early on in
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the offseason that he had at that point, he said
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: he has to keep checking boxes all off season, keep
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: doing and saying the right things. But he won't prove
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: anything until September because he's got to stay healthy. He's
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: got to be productive. He's got to have When things
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: start going wrong is when your look and looking the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: part is tested. Uh, everybody would say that. But for
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: right now, all he can do is do these things.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Be here, have the right attitude, have the right of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: right frame of mind. It's not just here that he's
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: been impressive. When you talk to people back there, Uh,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: he's doing and saying the right things. They like what
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: they see. Now he's got to do it well. Talked
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: about looking the part, I mean he's always looked the part.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: But the shot with a B N four L, I
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: mean it looks like the time in Wyoming certainly a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: lot for him. Um, he's a guy for whom the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: game has always come easy. He was always the biggest, strongest, fastest.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Then he gets to the National Football League and the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Jaguars were so tilted towards the running game. He never
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: had the balance of being able to run against the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: defense that didn't know he was coming. So I would
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: think that he would be hyper motivated to get his
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: money back right by playing with Nick Foles. So what
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing is a guy who gets it, who understands
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: this is the proving time right now. John said it, right,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you gotta be on the field in September proving it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: But being here has them happy with him, and yeah,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that's all he can do. He's doing everything. As much
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: as I asked about Nick Foles out and about I'm
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: asked about this guy, what's he doing? And all I
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: can say is he's here and he's working. And we
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: didn't say that last year, right, And that's all we
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: can really say now. But one of the examples I
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: think of him getting it is that he said on
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Friday that he was the one who approached Nick Foles
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the first pass and said, hey, let's go over the playbooks.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Now after every practice, those two sit down and go
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: over the playbook, and it was for Nets doing initiating that.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I think. I agree that for net is out attacking it.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I do think that the Folds effect is You've got
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of players that want to take advantage of
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the fact that there is now an elite maybe too
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: strong of a term, but a franchise quarterback here that
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: can help make them better. He has to see the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: opportunity that exists for a legitimate threat in the passing
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: game to improve his life. Well, it's a fresh start,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and let's that's Mary Brian, we're both old Shlenz young. Um,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: when you're a Shlens age and when you're Leonard's age, Uh,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: shlens rare. She got immediately when she got here, she
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: worked hard and she was going forward and everything was great.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: That's so nice. A lot of times I have a
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: son different. You know, it's uh twenty three. You forget.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: They don't come into the league knowing what it takes
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to be great. Uh. For this summer, I'm doing a
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: series talking to old Jaguars players about former games, former seasons.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I thought to Fred Taylor, he talked about how as
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a rookie, he said, I was just out there as
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: a kid. I didn't know what it took to be
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: great yet. I was just running on talent. It wasn't
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: until year five or six that he understood what it
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: took to be a great NFL player for the long term.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Leonard's still young. Hopefully he's moving that direction. He sounds
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: like a guy moving that direction. But let's not necessarily
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: write a guy off because in his second year he
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: didn't quite get it yet. You know what he is.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: If that's the case, common true, But it was more
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: than just not getting at the time last year. At times,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the time takes these guys time to grow up. He's
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: growing up. Well, yeah, maybe he is, and it sure
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: seems like he is. And when Nick Foles walks onto
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the field, and we'll all agree his presence is felt,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: it will lift the performance or perhaps even the desire
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to perform in a lot of young players. We just
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: didn't see that from Leonard last year. This is more,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: i think than just maturing with Leonard. It's deciding that
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: he has to work harder. Well, it's seen his career well,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and let's be honest. You say it takes five or
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: six years running backs, especially running backs, you run like that,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: it better not take your fire. Those guys don't play
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: as long in this game. If he wants to get paid,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and it's pro ball, you want to get paid, you've
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: got to prove it now because in two years when
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: you get paid, not three years down the road. All right,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: So we talked about who is here. Now we're talking
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: about who is saying all the right things, and that
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: is Jaguar's defensive and unique in gokway. Yes, he wants
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: a new contract, but that's not the reason that he's here.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I don't have to be here, but I chose to
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: be here. Uh just shows you how much I love
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the game. Man. That's one want to have some guys
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: out sees. He mentioned that he's aware that a con
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: practice coming and that he wants a new contract, but
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the money isn't the reason that he's here. He wants
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to be here with his teams. He sees the opportunity
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to improve some guys, especially Josh Allen. He was talking
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to him all last week on the field. He's saying
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the right things guys last week. Yeah, and that is
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the right thing to say. Uh. At this point with
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Yan there, there always has to be in the forefront
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: of mine that contract because it is a key time
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: in his life and in his career. UM I think
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: he I don't know, there's a thirteen or ten of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: these sessions left and seven Humber volunteered. Uh me and
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the practice the t s, I don't know. They we're
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: gonna see you on and every one of them. Um,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know that he should be everyone of them,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: because there has to be an element of him right now.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: He needs to train and protect. He has to be
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: smart because if he gets hurt, it's not a good
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: thing for him. In terms of the contract being here,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, I thought last week was, hey,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: look this is who I am. This is who I
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: want to be. I want to be part of the team.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I also want to show other teams that I'm a
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: team guy. I think it was the right move. I
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: certainly think everything he's doing now is still a contract motivated.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: But yes, good to be here, but also good to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: be smart. Don't get yourself hurt. You know, I'm not
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a cynical person by nature, but when players generally stand
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: there and say it didn't come in for the contract,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: not I just I mean, it's Pro Bowl. It's about
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the money. You're doing what's best for you. However, my
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: experience with Unique is that he is a person of substance.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: He shows it to you on and off the field
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: at old times. He is not a long winded guy.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: But I thought he stood and explain himself very well
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: last week, and I believe that he is here because
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: he wants to be seen as the guy in a
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: locker room that's got a lot of those alpha males
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: in there, and he's willing to put the work in
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to get the job done. That being said, he also
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: wants to be the guy for his family and his mom,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: who is very close to We all have heard the story.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: So for him, it is about getting the contract. He's
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: doing the right things. I've said, take your time, don't
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: rushing into a hundred million dollar contract for an undersized
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: past rusher, right, because that's why you drafted Josh Allen.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: You've got options. But when he comes in and stands
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: there is poised and as professional as he was last week,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I say, well, you don't want to let a guy
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: like that go find a way to get a deal done.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: And he also showed last week, no matter what happens
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: with the contract, and I think there's a very high
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: percentage chance that he plays at least part of next
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: season without a new contract, uh, he showed that he's
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: going to put in the work two not be under
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: prepared to have a good year. And again, I think
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: it's good for the Jaguars. It's also important for him because,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: as we've talked, about Brian. I don't think it's a
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: guarantee that he gets paid by the Jaggs. I think
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: it will happen, but I don't think it's a dead
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: solid lot for him. He needs a good year in
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: case he doesn't get the deal at his size with
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: third round bit. You know, he doesn't have that Joey
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: boast of pedigree where he's guaranteed to get paid. He
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: knows that that's why the chips there. So he needs
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to have a big year if he doesn't have a
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: contract to maximize his value for whatever happens. I go
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: back to last season, the middle of last season, when
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: he kept talking about in the locker room, you know,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I want to be a captain next year, and you
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: talk about being that guy. He had to take these
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: steps and be present. If he was preaching last season
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: that show me, and he is showing you when he's
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: out here, right But as John pointed out, he's got
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: to balance those two things, and so him not being
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: here is a smart move on his part. Also, coaches
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: won't say it, Tom Coughlin won't say it, but he
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: is doing the right things right now. Doing and saying
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: are completely different. Have respect for the way he's handling it, yep,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and that leads us in the big thing. Three. Another
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: guy who is not here and it is okay is
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: all pro cornerback Jalen Rancy and guys, I think about
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: it last offseason? Is it me or is this not
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: as much of a hype as it was last year?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: If you can remember last year, everyone wants talking about
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Jayla not being here and it was a huge deal.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe people are starting to listen that it's so hey
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: that jan is not here. Well, I think some of
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: it is. There's other issues that people are upset about.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: You have to Telvin Smith issue, you have unique, you
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: have foals, you have for nets. But um, I do
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: think some people do people need to get used to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: uh Brian. I wasn't here when Fred uh started working
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: out in law. After Fred's first couple years, he started
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: working out for a later um I took Maurice Jones
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Drew with him, and I think both those guys which
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: you're not really pretty good and more recently will be
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: there too. So the point is, let's not get overblown
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: and I get used to it, because whether you pay
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: him or not, whatever happens, he's not going to be
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: here unless this mandatory. And I said on Zone Blitz
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: on Friday, that's fine with me. For him, I don't care.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I don't want him here. I don't him getting hurt.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: We're just watching the play that he made, the ridiculous
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: play that he made coming from the far side of
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the field to the middle third in London. The things
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: that he can do are oh much greater than the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: next best cornerbacks. There's never going to be a situation
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: next year. I'm sitting in the press box going have
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: he'd only been here in maybe right, if he'd been
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: there May thirty one. I have such respect for people
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: who walk the walk and talk the talk. And he
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: said last year this is what he was going to do.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: And you remember, at the end of the last season,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: there was considerable pressure for guys to be here. Not
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that TC and Doug Marone were putting it on, but
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: there was a our guys need to be working together,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: and there were players that were saying that um and
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: he said, I'm going to do what I do. Even
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: in the face of at five and eleven season and
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: knowing that a contract is out there to be had,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: he still trusts his dad and his system to put
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: him in a position to be able to play his best. Um,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I don't, it's not It's a non story. Again, people
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: out standing in line at publics. They want to talk
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: about Nick Foles and Leonard Fournette. No one has even
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: remote asked how Jalen Ramsey is. The fan base trusts
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: him to because they shouldn't be worried. You know, they've
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: seen what he does. His phones have apps. Now the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: weather app hundred degrees out there? Was it going to
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: be in Nashville, No wonder? It's crazy like a fox.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Do you know you can look up whether in other
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: cities too. What's it gonna be a nash Well, A
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: bet it's cooler and air so you don't know. That's
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: got to be the main reason I admired you day
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: because I'm gonna be on that field. When we come
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: back on Jags Drift time, we're going to talk about
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: who stood out to us during week one of OTIS.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: We'll be back. When this is the sound of a
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: waterfall in nature, there's no cause for concerned. But when
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: it's a sound of water gushing through your living room
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: ceiling because of pipe person inside the wall, there's reason

• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Week two of OTAs will be out on that field
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: during this week we were just talking about it. It's
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: going to be a real hot one high in the
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: hundreds of the speak. They do have an indoor practice facility.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I'm just throwing that out there in case anybody heresy
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: was listening. Also got a hallway out there. In the hallway,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I thought that'll get it done. They're going to be
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: in the heat. Yeah, and I think they're gonna have
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: to get used to it well, and that's why they
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: do it all. Right, Let's check out who we are
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: checking out during week one of O t S. John,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: we always talk about during O t S that no
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: one really stands out unless you're catching the ball, are
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: throwing the ball during O t S and that is
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: one person that you have that Well, Yeah, it's hard
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: for lineman because all linemen are doing but it's impressed
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: as long as they don't a trip over each other. Um,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: it really is about skill positions and quarterbacks. Uh, I'm
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: gonna go with Josh Oliver. Uh, he looks the part.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: He can catch, he can go up and make contested catches.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: He clearly knows what he's doing in the passing game.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: The X factor for him won't happen until training camp,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: when he shows if he can block a little bit,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: at least enough to give defenses a doubt as to
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: what the team's doing when he's in the game. Um,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: he's a rookie. If he catches thirty forty balls and
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: gives them some sort of threat, make the defense acknowledge
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: him a little bit, it'll be a successful season. But
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: last week he did enough to show you that he's fluid.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: He looks the part. You weren't walking up the field going,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: oh goodness, Graces, why do you draft this guy so?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Uh for week one for three O t A practices,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I thought he looked fine, and uh, I'm optimistic to
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: see what he'll do when the pad's gone. Uh. Well,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I thought the first week was all about Nick Foles,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and I wanted to watch where he placed the ball
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: because that was always such an issue with Blake. The
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: ball was high or away or too low. Um, because
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I really think that the receivers d d Westbrook in particular,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: will benefit from because they are catching run receivers um.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: In other words, they're gonna catch it and run after
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the catch. Is supposed to run down the field to
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: catch the balls, not run to catch. It's catch and run.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: And watching Foles, it's clear that he is going to
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: put these guys in a position to make plays with
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the ball in their hand, and they just I watched
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: a little bit of Oliver in the tight ends, but
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: his placement, whether it was over the shoulder to Keenan
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Cole aquiling coal down the field, or whether it was
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: the underneath stuff to the wide receivers, he has such
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: a mastery of where the ball is going. The accuracy
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: factors should be huge with foals um out alter my
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: attention elsewhere this week, But last week I thought that
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: every pass that he threw was a position where guy
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: could make a play on the ball, And um, I
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: didn't feel that way watching Yeah, that he was actually
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: kind of shaky on Tuesday, but his worst day was good,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: meaning like even if he wasn't absolutely rock solid sharp,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: say that you watched Peyton Manning. We we don't have
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: that frame of reference here from a guy on the
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: practice field, Mark Brunelt is some degree that way. This
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: guy was markedly better on the practice question any quarterback
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: who has played here since two thousand and three. Yeah,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: no question, And I thought of my ts. You have
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: to remember is a lot of times they are putting
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: things in it at eight three in the morning and
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: going out and working on it for the first time
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: that afternoon. So that's why I don't like to chart
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: uh completion percentage and all that. But there were plays
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: especial say as the week went on where he found
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Connolly deep he had he started to have chemistry with guys.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I mentioned the shaky first day only as a way
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: of saying it was but it was so much better
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: than what we've seen, and it's it's only going to
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: keep escalating. I don't know there's a stat for what
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I saw though. That was ball placement. I guess you
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: could use yards after catch would be the They tend
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: to put that on on receivers rather than on quarterbacks.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: But watching it last week, the ball was where it
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: needed to be. Even when he's just okay, it looks
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: very good. Yeah, regardless of the stat that, just the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: offense just seems to run so much more efficiently and quickly.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Just things are going so much quicker than what we're
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: used to seeing last year. That's the biggest thing that
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: set up for me, all right. The guy that I
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: noticed is seems to be Nick foles right hand man,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: and that is Chris Connolly. They played together in Kansas City.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: The throw of the week was a fold deep ball
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: to Connolly over a j boy. The whole offense went
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: and congratulated Connolly when he caught that ball. There seems
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: to be an automatic chemistry. John, you mentioned it that
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: you're seeing these relationships developed last week, and I think
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: this is definitely one to keep an eye on the
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: next few weeks. Well, the Folds one and Conny here,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and there's a reason for it. He's he's fast, he's athletic,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: he was a bargain in free agency. He's got a
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: chance to make a huge impact here. And if he
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: catches five or six touchdowns, it's it's a huge signing
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: and he's huge part of it. Uh. He certainly looks
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: like he's got a chance to be one of the
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: main three receivers and that will take a lot of
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: heat off of Westbrook and Chark on the other side,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: because you've got to athletic guys, really tall athletic guys,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and Connolly and Chart and now Westbrook working middle of the
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the field Marquis League coming back. He is such an
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: offset to the young receivers. As much as we talk
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: about what he'll mean to Nick Foles, what he means
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: to DJ Chart in terms of having that guy on
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the other side of the field out there running the route,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: taking some attention away, he should be a tremendous edition.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Five six touchdowns, You know you could see eight or
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: nine touchdowns, ten touchdowns from this guy if m if
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: he and Folds have the chemistry that we've been told
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: they do well, he looks like what he is. He's
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: a sixth year veteran who Folds can trust to be
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: where he's supposed to be, on the route where he
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to think about it. I don't want to
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: sit here and put him in the Pro Bowl yet,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: but for a guy who has has been okay at times,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: good at times, it looks like this could be a
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: good fit for him. When you talk about the pressure
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: in the wide receiver room, we always talked about how
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Deet he had a great year last year, But all right,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: DD you gotta take one more step forward. You got
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: to be the guy. I feel like that takes some
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: of the pressure off of him to be that solid
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: number one. Well, and remember late in the year. Last year,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: he was the only weapon they had on the offensive
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: side of the ball. I'm not in a passing game.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: He was the Westbrook was the only player that defense
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: has really had to account for. That's how bad this
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: thing was. And I don't know that they drafted him
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: to be that right then you know he's not. And
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I don't take you anyway from d and say he's
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: never going to be a one. But this the game
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: plans certainly was not for him to be the guy
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: in his third year and be there to go to
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: All these guys are part of a package, and there
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: was no package that serious. But he It's remarkable. I
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: remember watching Maurice Jones drew when he led the league
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: and rushing in two thousand and eleven. It was the
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: number one ground game right in the league on the
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: on one of the worst passing attacks, which is it's
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: remarkable because generally, if everyone knows you're running the ball, um,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: you don't have the success that Maurice did. And last year.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I kind of had the same feeling watching Westbrook when
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: everyone knew that he was the only option, he still
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: made plays. So now you put Conley out there, who
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: John mentioned, long athletic, not necessarily a Pro Bowl guy,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: but a guy who can make enough plays to look
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: like one out on one side, and if DJ Chark
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: finds his potential on the other, Okay, now you've really
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: got something. But if you only had Chark and Westbrook
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: and you didn't have Connolly, you'd still have two young
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: receivers finding their way. Connley is that veteran guy who's
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: going to be where he needs to be, and he
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: enfolds will be moving the chains and opening up opportunities
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: for the key. With Conley too, don't forget he's he's
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: elite level fast. So even if he's just okay, he
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: thinks he's just putting up okay numbers, you've got to
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: guard him or or he'll beat you. And it's a
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: huge factor in offensive. Yeah, we saw him be j
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: J Boy last week and he's definitely not slow. All Right,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: we'll see who stands out in week two of ot

  Speaker 1: to Jags Drive time. Let's visit the ozone mail bag.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Hopefully they're a little happier than last week's zone. Probably
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: probably not, They're never happy. Let's go to Bruce from
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Green Cope Springs, Florida. Various pundits are predicting the Jaguars
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: win less than eight games. Yes, I know you said
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: many of these experts don't know much about what's really
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: going on with a given team. Still, I find it
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: concerning as Jaguars fans, we're looking for a playoff runt.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: What weaknesses do you see that may preclude eight winning seasons? Well,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I always ten Brian to you know, not worry too
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: much about what the pundits day, because typically speaking, they're
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: trying to look at thirty two teams and they don't
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: get down into the details the way the local people do.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: And most of those pundits don't really look at the
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Jaguars either, right, And yeah, look at four or five
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: teams and that's fine. Uh, but in looking at this team,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I get why people don't believe in it because they
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: haven't seen Nick Foles do it here yet. Uh. The
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: offensive lines struggled last year. Uh, there's a perception nationally
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: that for Nette fell off last year because he did.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: And then you look at the wide receivers in the
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: tight ends and you don't know who they are. So
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: those are the reasons that it's hard to project because
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: they haven't seen it. And the key to this season
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: is going to be does the or is the Jaguars
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: front office right in the things that they're projecting, Meaning
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Folds looks like he can improve a wide receiver corps
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: that the front office thinks is better than other people believe,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: and and they believe, whether they have to or whatnot.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: In or for net if they're right, and three or
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: four of those things that are unknown are good because
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: seems has a chance you get the playoffs if you
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: know if they roll sevens or ones or snake eyes
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: whatever on those things, and they're gonna be bad. And
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: it all depends on four or five unknown elements on offense.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: If four of them work, I think they're gonna be good.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I'll give you three names, Cam Robinson, Quincy Williams, Josh Oliver.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: If Cam Robinson returns at left tackle and is healthy, okay,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: the offensive line has a major question answered. If he doesn't,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: that's a week spot. If Quincy Williams steps in and
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: can play for Telvin Smith, that's a strength. I mean,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: if he can step in and do with Telvin did
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: his first year, which was a hundred tackles, a couple
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: of interceptions, a sack of force, fumble. Okay, remember fifth
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: round pick, third round pick, you get it. The third
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: one is Oliver for the reason that John just enumerate,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: and those are that they need to be able to
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: have something in the middle of the field folds his
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: This for using the tight end about a third of
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: the time. Um, and this guy looks like the part.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: If he doesn't, and they're relying on James O'Shaughnessy and
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Ben Koyak, what we know with that we saw that
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: last year. There's got to be a difference maker in
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: there somewhere. So left tackle, weak side, linebacker, tight end,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: those three guys if they step in, you're fine. Who
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: we can and it all comes down falls, Who are
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: we kidding? Well, we're looking. We can't just say that
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: in six months, but yes, yeah, and you think that's
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: the initial signing. And everyone was so excited about Foals
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: coming here and everyone was saying playoffs, super Bowl, that's
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: the answer. Now, I think it's allowed where people are
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: allowed to be worried about this team because it's right.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: They haven't seen Foals down. You can't depend We don't
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: know how this is gonna mesh. If they're right and
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: these things mess and they're gonna be in good shape
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: because the defense is good. If not, you know, there's
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of there's a lot of thing can go wrong.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of unknowns. But I think we talked
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: about on the field last week, Brian, it's they could
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: go anywhere realistic between seven and nine and ten and
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: say that puts them in a group of about NFL
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: team is right now, that's what the league is. If
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: it was simple as Nick Foles super Bowl, they would
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: never have let him leave Philadelphia Carson Wentz with the
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: back of knee injuries. I mean, I know what he's
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: projected to be, but they would never let him go
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: if they could have avoided it. All Right, let's go
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: to Gary from St. Augustine, Florida. We're not saying and
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: doing the right things, right. I want to believe when
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: is it okay to trust this guy? Zone? Well, I
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: think that's what we've been talking about all off season
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: with him, is he's either re establishing or establishing trust
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: at this point. And I trust his minds in the
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: right place. Uh. And now, once the regular season starts,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: his mind being in the right place has to withstand
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the ups and downs that are gonna come with the
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: regular season. And he's got to stay health And I
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: don't know how you predict that. I do trust that
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: he is in as good a place as he has
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: been in a three year NFL career so far mentally. Um,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: let's say November. Let's see what he does the first
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: half of the season. Can he get to November? Remember
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: last year you couldn't even get to November, which is,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: by the way, when those teams that are going to
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: be playoff teams start to play like they're going to
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: be playoff teams. Um, let's see where he is when
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: this team needs to him to carry them through the
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: grind of the most important month of the season, November.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: All right, let's wrap it up with Keith from Jacksonville,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: now that the first week of organized team activities are
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: in the books, and again with the coviat that there's
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: no paths in there hitting. Is Nick Foles an upgrade
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: at quarterback from Blake portals? Well, again, it has to
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: be proving the regular season, certainly in terms of accuracy,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: spiral practice. You know, play always says no good practice
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: play it looks better. Um, how it plays out in
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: the field remains to be seen. Uh, it's hard to
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: imagine that it's not a fundamental, uh basics upgrade. It
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: looks better. Uh, I think it will be better, but
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: it's regular season time. A different way to say the
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: exact thing John just said is the arm is better.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: You just watch the arm. It's better. That's an upgrade. Yeah,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: well it'd better be here. It's disappointment. I mean, you
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: paid this guy. Yeah, they want to pay this guy
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: thinking he's a top fifteen guy. Even when they paid Blake.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think they truly believed that he was going
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: to be a top tannel the quarterback. They paid Blake
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: because they wanted to keep he fit in their system.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Going as it was. The hope is he's an upgrade quarterback.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: If he's not, then something went terribly aro. Here. The
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: arm strength tells me this is a big league arm Blake.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: He never had that kind of arms strength, right, and
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: that's just coming off one week. So hope, how what
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: it becomes, we'll find out. Alright, we will wrap up

  Speaker 1: NFL network saying segment asking who the best trash talker
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: in the NFL is and none other the award winner
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey gets the title. Do we agree with this?
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: We're having this conversation in the office before the show.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I think there's no one who talks more than Jalen.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: But is he the best? It's pretty good. It's a
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: part of it is backing it up, which he usually dies.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Part of it's being funny, which I thank he probably is. Yeah,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I think he's he's up there. Sorry, obviously hard to
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: tell it. I mean, we scientifically proved, but I think
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: he's stats. He's uh, he's pretty good. I'm not a
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: big trash talk guy, but I can't think of anyone better.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: So this this stuff with the with A J Green

  Speaker 1: but when he came into the locker room afterwards and
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: kept talking it through the media back to a j UM,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I thought that was brilliant. All right, let's go to D. D. Westbrook,
• 34:29
