- 0:07Speaker 1: sports car, or jump like a sports car. It will
- 0:10Speaker 1: break down. Welcome to Jaguars Reporters presented by t I
- 0:14Speaker 1: A A Bank with Brian Sexton, John Oshan, Ashlyn Sullivan,
- 0:19Speaker 1: and j P. Shad Pretended by t I A A
- 0:24Speaker 1: Bank starts right now. Welcome in the Jaguars Reporters podcast,
- 0:29Speaker 1: Big Week Ahead. It finally feels like we are looking
- 0:32Speaker 1: forward to the season, Asheton Sullivan, J P. Schadrick, Brian
- 0:37Speaker 1: Sexton and John Osier here with you. And yes, the
- 0:40Speaker 1: draft looks forward, japs the kisses. The week of rookie
- 0:44Speaker 1: mini camp and schedule release that you're finally all right
- 0:48Speaker 1: here we go. We went through months of not having
- 0:51Speaker 1: actual football things going on, and then in the last
- 0:55Speaker 1: couple of weeks, draft schedule, rookie camp, here come ot days.
- 1:01Speaker 1: It's coming in hot so here we are finally John
- 1:04Speaker 1: brought a football field on Friday. Yeah, and uh it's
- 1:08Speaker 1: it's different, you know, I'll be the old man again.
- 1:11Speaker 1: It's different than it used to be. There's I don't anticipate,
- 1:15Speaker 1: uh learning a great deal. I anticipate, uh, it being
- 1:20Speaker 1: really cool seeing these guys in Jaguars uniforms, especially Trevor Lawrence.
- 1:23Speaker 1: You know what wasn't cool was the first practice of
- 1:27Speaker 1: rookie minicamp when Dante Fowler went down. There's all this
- 1:31Speaker 1: excitement about him coming in and being that leo in
- 1:33Speaker 1: that defense, and there he is on the ground early
- 1:36Speaker 1: And so we were talking earlier, Ashlyn about what is
- 1:39Speaker 1: rookie minicamp anymore? Because remember sixteen seventeen nineteen, they really
- 1:43Speaker 1: scaled it back. I mean, they weren't going to take
- 1:45Speaker 1: any chance with these guys, and for good reason, right,
- 1:48Speaker 1: They're coming off of basically, um huge injury years. Yeah.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Well but but not just that, but they're they're not
- 1:56Speaker 1: in football shape, right, So when you say that, you're
- 1:59Speaker 1: you don't to learn much. Yeah, I mean I think
- 2:01Speaker 1: the coaches are gonna learn who's in good shape and
- 2:03Speaker 1: who needs more. And especially with Trevor, I mean, how
- 2:05Speaker 1: much is he really going to do still coming back
- 2:07Speaker 1: from the shoulder surgery, right, But I don't you're gonna
- 2:11Speaker 1: really have him throw the ball around the yard all day? Yeah,
- 2:14Speaker 1: The important stuff goes on, you know, behind closed doors
- 2:18Speaker 1: with some meetings. You know, you have to have some
- 2:22Speaker 1: time where you start getting acclimated. You have to have
- 2:25Speaker 1: uh sometimes where you start learning not only the offense,
- 2:29Speaker 1: but who the coaches are. C You need some face
- 2:31Speaker 1: time with people. But that doesn't necessarily mean on field
- 2:34Speaker 1: time where you're putting your body at risk. So this
- 2:37Speaker 1: weekend weekend rookie Mini Campbell be on the field on Friday,
- 2:40Speaker 1: and then Wednesday at eight o'clock is the schedule release.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Now we know who the opponents are. But for someone
- 2:47Speaker 1: like me who loves to plan, I am fired up
- 2:49Speaker 1: to take my planner and have my colored pens and
- 2:52Speaker 1: then write out what day is, what game? It just
- 2:55Speaker 1: gets me so excited. And it's Wednesday. What color is
- 2:58Speaker 1: for prime time? Pink? Okay? How many out how many
- 3:02Speaker 1: pink notes will you make on your schedule this year?
- 3:06Speaker 1: I say three primetime games some kind Thursdays, Sunday or Monday.
- 3:12Speaker 1: I think to Mondays and a Thursday two Mondays. That's
- 3:15Speaker 1: just really gonna throw off my schedule. I don't know
- 3:17Speaker 1: if I'm okay. John's gonna hate that. Yeah, I accomplished
- 3:20Speaker 1: what acts on accomplished with attack? I take attack and
- 3:23Speaker 1: a piece of paper and put it on the bulletin board,
- 3:26Speaker 1: and that's the planning. But I would anticipate I would
- 3:33Speaker 1: be stunned if they get a Sunday because that's usually
- 3:37Speaker 1: reserved for teams that have been in the playoffs the
- 3:41Speaker 1: previous year or that they think will contend for the playoffs.
- 3:45Speaker 1: I would say too, I'd say a Thursday and a Monday.
- 3:47Speaker 1: You know, that's my gut. I hope, you know, for
- 3:52Speaker 1: the fans sake. I hope it's more I'll be for
- 3:54Speaker 1: my sake. I hope it's seventeen one o'clock games all
- 3:58Speaker 1: at home for you. I would say that you if
- 4:01Speaker 1: you look at the December schedule, you might find an
- 4:03Speaker 1: attractive game or two. You know, if this thing comes
- 4:06Speaker 1: along and we're talking about, you know, dramatic improvement somewhere
- 4:10Speaker 1: near five. Although somebody pointed out to me the day
- 4:13Speaker 1: there is no such thing seventeen games. I hadn't. I
- 4:16Speaker 1: hadn't thought about that. But if there is a game
- 4:20Speaker 1: in December that has an attractive schedule, that might be flexed, right,
- 4:25Speaker 1: not because maybe the jag Wars are involved in the playoffs,
- 4:28Speaker 1: but you've got Urban Meyer and Trevor Lawrence against the
- 4:31Speaker 1: Colts and the Colts are in the middle of it
- 4:33Speaker 1: or something like that. Yeah, I can see that as possible.
- 4:36Speaker 1: And we usually have that Thursday night divisional game Titans
- 4:40Speaker 1: with Derrick Henry Stiff farming people and all that. Let's
- 4:42Speaker 1: stop that, but I think that's probably in play again.
- 4:46Speaker 1: My guess is what they'll do. They'll be two relatively
- 4:51Speaker 1: early season games, one September one, you know, late October.
- 4:58Speaker 1: You put Trevor Lawrence on TV, possibly against another young
- 5:02Speaker 1: quarterback in September, where TV can look at it and say, okay,
- 5:07Speaker 1: they'll if you're not sure how good these teams are
- 5:10Speaker 1: going to be when you think a team that may
- 5:12Speaker 1: struggle on paper, I don't think I was gonna struggle,
- 5:15Speaker 1: but nationally that would sill be the perception. So you
- 5:19Speaker 1: might have it an early season on Monday Night with
- 5:22Speaker 1: a Thursday night throwaway, which they usually treat this team
- 5:25Speaker 1: like a throwaway when they put him on Thursday Night.
- 5:28Speaker 1: That's what this will be it, Yeah, I mean from yeah,
- 5:36Speaker 1: this is this is going to be a team that
- 5:38Speaker 1: is going to We're gonna be looking at three primetime
- 5:41Speaker 1: games a year and the possibility being flexed in to
- 5:45Speaker 1: a fourth on a regular basis with Trevor Lawrence if
- 5:48Speaker 1: he is as good as we all believe he is. Yeah,
- 5:50Speaker 1: and you can't blame it because you look at that
- 5:52Speaker 1: last season, the Thursday night football game against the Dolphins,
- 5:55Speaker 1: and it was this big, hyped up it was a
- 5:56Speaker 1: crazy week in the Jaguars. They didn't show up, and
- 5:59Speaker 1: you make the argument when they get these slots, they
- 6:01Speaker 1: don't show up and it's not competitive. So we'll see
- 6:03Speaker 1: what happened. Those days are over in the past. Last
- 6:06Speaker 1: Monday Night game for the Jags, well five and then
- 6:10Speaker 1: the last I guess that was. I don't know what
- 6:13Speaker 1: week that was anyway, the last Sunday night games two
- 6:15Speaker 1: thousand and eight, been a while, been a while? Well?
- 6:19Speaker 1: Was that that was a That wasn't a true Sunday Night?
- 6:22Speaker 1: Was it? That was Sunday Night? Was in the eight?
- 6:25Speaker 1: It was week five and oh eight? And then I
- 6:27Speaker 1: forget the weekend and did his homework today? Fellis he
- 6:30Speaker 1: knows the dates supposed to be and get flexed away.
- 6:34Speaker 1: All right, here we go, big thing. Let's to talk
- 6:36Speaker 1: about John Oser. You're up, you have your notes ready.
- 6:39Speaker 1: I do not shocking pull them off? Would you like
- 6:42Speaker 1: me to read your big thing. I read all right,
- 6:45Speaker 1: John for evermore? By the way, yes now he will
- 6:48Speaker 1: never The Jaguars tackle situation may suddenly be pretty good.
- 6:52Speaker 1: You want to answer it to Ashlan? Would be great?
- 6:55Speaker 1: This is um, This is a little bit of a
- 6:59Speaker 1: reached I don't know if it's to be good good,
- 7:01Speaker 1: but it sure looks a lot better. And I guess
- 7:04Speaker 1: I really like the Walker Little pick and I think
- 7:08Speaker 1: that he's going to push Jowan Taylor and Cam Robinson.
- 7:12Speaker 1: So I didn't think that the two tackles played as
- 7:16Speaker 1: poorly last year as observers believed. So I think they're
- 7:20Speaker 1: pretty good, and I think they have potential to be
- 7:22Speaker 1: a lot better. But if you add a guy who
- 7:24Speaker 1: I think should have been a first round pick had
- 7:26Speaker 1: he not been injured, all of a sudden, you've got
- 7:28Speaker 1: a really good situation, and you wonder if is it possible?
- 7:33Speaker 1: I think JP you wrote this in I sent him
- 7:35Speaker 1: around on Jaguars dot com this week. Could one of
- 7:38Speaker 1: those guys push be pushed enough to move inside the guard?
- 7:45Speaker 1: Could they? You know, could Walker Little be good enough
- 7:48Speaker 1: to force Cam Robinson inside? I don't think that will
- 7:51Speaker 1: happen early, but you wonder about it happened later, because
- 7:55Speaker 1: as if that happens, is Cam Robinson a better guard
- 7:57Speaker 1: than Norwell, yeah, I mean at that point you have
- 8:00Speaker 1: to or does Andrew may not his walker little forces way? Well,
- 8:04Speaker 1: is it only on the left side. It's not like
- 8:06Speaker 1: Juwan Taylor has blown everyone's expectations away on the right.
- 8:10Speaker 1: And if you're looking at somebody who is better suited
- 8:12Speaker 1: to play guard, I would argue that that Taylor is
- 8:15Speaker 1: the better suited guard. I think Cam Robinson is too
- 8:18Speaker 1: tall to play inside and guarden. We've had six ft
- 8:20Speaker 1: seven guards around here in the past, and they struggle
- 8:22Speaker 1: in some of the blocking schemes just they're so tall
- 8:25Speaker 1: they can't get underneath paths. Um But I could see
- 8:27Speaker 1: Joan Taylor playing inside at guard and being much more
- 8:30Speaker 1: effective than perhaps he has been a tackle. Although I
- 8:34Speaker 1: don't want to make it sound like I'm giving up
- 8:35Speaker 1: on Taylor. I mean he's a talented guy. Inconsistent quarterback
- 8:39Speaker 1: play hasn't helped him. But I could see Cam Robinson
- 8:42Speaker 1: over on the right side with Jowan Taylor inside his position,
- 8:47Speaker 1: and everybody assumes is a weakness. I'm not sure those
- 8:51Speaker 1: three guys are I think they have a chance to
- 8:54Speaker 1: be more of a strength and a liability at Cam
- 8:57Speaker 1: Robinson coming into last season right, remember it's any camp,
- 9:00Speaker 1: he comes in unbelievable shape because it's contract year for him,
- 9:03Speaker 1: the whole deal, and hey, he's on a one year
- 9:07Speaker 1: deal now too. I mean it is a big number,
- 9:10Speaker 1: franchise number right now, but there's no future guaranteed after
- 9:14Speaker 1: that for him, so he's probably going to be motivated again,
- 9:17Speaker 1: what not that he wasn't before, but to really be
- 9:19Speaker 1: in his top shape. So if even the presence of
- 9:22Speaker 1: little helps Cam elevate his game and he's are starting
- 9:26Speaker 1: left tackled, then he's already done a good thing. But
- 9:28Speaker 1: doesn't it feel like for the offensive line and maybe
- 9:31Speaker 1: for a lot of guys in the offense, but particularly
- 9:34Speaker 1: the line, the real clock starts now. I'm not sure
- 9:38Speaker 1: you know what the offensive line was based on the
- 9:43Speaker 1: quarterback play behind it for the last three years, the
- 9:48Speaker 1: inconsistency and just not knowing what's going to be back there,
- 9:52Speaker 1: not knowing what's going on around you. Uh. I guess
- 9:57Speaker 1: I'll wait and see what kind of players can Robinson
- 10:00Speaker 1: and John Taylor Until I see them in this offense
- 10:03Speaker 1: moving forward, and I think you have to account for
- 10:05Speaker 1: that fact. What do they give up last year? Thirty
- 10:07Speaker 1: seven or thirty eight sacks and I think nine were
- 10:10Speaker 1: on the quarterback, you know, in terms of bad decision making,
- 10:13Speaker 1: holding the ball too long. Um. And if I saw right,
- 10:17Speaker 1: I think Pro Football Focus had this offensive line somewhere
- 10:20Speaker 1: in the middle of the pack, uh with their grading system,
- 10:23Speaker 1: which I don't entirely understand, but you know, if if
- 10:26Speaker 1: they're being fair about it, the middle of the pack
- 10:28Speaker 1: seems about right. So now you put a consistent quarterback
- 10:31Speaker 1: back there. And by the way, I think you also
- 10:33Speaker 1: take into account you had a thousand yard rusher from
- 10:35Speaker 1: with an undrafted rookie, the offensive line didn't play as
- 10:39Speaker 1: poorly and urban Meyer and all of their actions this
- 10:43Speaker 1: year suggest that they believe that too. So I think
- 10:46Speaker 1: you're right. I think the clock starts now. Yeah. I
- 10:48Speaker 1: think competition is great for every position group, but it
- 10:51Speaker 1: seems like the offensive line would benefit the greatest from
- 10:55Speaker 1: having something pushed against them, doesn't It just seem like that.
- 10:58Speaker 1: You can make an argument for every position group, but
- 11:00Speaker 1: I think offensive line needs at the most all. Right,
- 11:03Speaker 1: here we go. J P. Shadrick you're up, I'm gonna
- 11:05Speaker 1: read my own. How about that, I'm gonna go to
- 11:09Speaker 1: the running back position. You mentioned James Robinson, but I
- 11:12Speaker 1: think you know. I was on a show in in
- 11:15Speaker 1: England yesterday right Talk Sport Radio. They're talking about what
- 11:18Speaker 1: does the Travis E. T N pick mean for James Robinson. Well,
- 11:22Speaker 1: I think they're allowed to coexist. They can be on
- 11:25Speaker 1: the team together. They can both have a role in
- 11:28Speaker 1: this offense. Still, Jay Robs your study, consistent four yard
- 11:31Speaker 1: and carry guy, rarely loses yard. Did you know that
- 11:35Speaker 1: E t N can score from anyone on the field,
- 11:37Speaker 1: they think. I think they can both be in there.
- 11:40Speaker 1: They can both be on the field at the same
- 11:41Speaker 1: time in certain situations maybe, but they both can have
- 11:45Speaker 1: a role on this team. Ashley, Yeah, And I think
- 11:48Speaker 1: the hard thing is when you see that pick and
- 11:50Speaker 1: you see running back, You're like, huh, that's that's kind
- 11:51Speaker 1: of weird. What about James Robinson. I think we need
- 11:53Speaker 1: to stop looking at Travis C. T N as as
- 11:55Speaker 1: solely a running back. You gotta look at him as
- 11:57Speaker 1: an offensive weapon, and it makes way more sense. Urban
- 12:00Speaker 1: Meyer said he's a slash In his press conference, he
- 12:04Speaker 1: said those guys are really hard to find to try
- 12:06Speaker 1: to figure this out. And he said that he's an
- 12:08Speaker 1: instant impact player. So when you look at it in
- 12:11Speaker 1: that sense, it makes way more sense why you would
- 12:14Speaker 1: get an offensive weapon. He's the perfect fit for this.
- 12:19Speaker 1: I'll ask you this, Um, before James Robinson got hurt
- 12:21Speaker 1: and didn't play at the end of the last season, Um,
- 12:25Speaker 1: do you remember another running back even carrying the ball?
- 12:30Speaker 1: I mean, because they really didn't. You can't do that.
- 12:33Speaker 1: That's not how it's supposed to be built in the NFL. Uh.
- 12:37Speaker 1: Your perfect situation is to have a running back who
- 12:41Speaker 1: can give him a break, help take his carries down,
- 12:47Speaker 1: which ETN can do and how I can do as well.
- 12:51Speaker 1: But with E t N that's not all he can do.
- 12:54Speaker 1: You can have him reduced carries, and you can alsos
- 12:55Speaker 1: have him not playing another role. It's uh, it it fast,
- 13:00Speaker 1: and its me the amount of angry questions I get
- 13:05Speaker 1: based on people who believe that only twenty two players
- 13:09Speaker 1: play in the NFL. You can't know your team that way. Well,
- 13:13Speaker 1: you know, look, last year we saw Lamar Jackson and
- 13:16Speaker 1: mark Ingram. Now that this quarterback in the running back
- 13:18Speaker 1: both run for a thousand yards, right, but still that's carries. Um.
- 13:22Speaker 1: Dangeli Williams and Jonathan Stewart did it for the Panthers
- 13:24Speaker 1: in Oh nine. Um, Brandon Jacobs and Derek Ward did
- 13:28Speaker 1: it for the Giants in oh Wait, we've seen it
- 13:29Speaker 1: where you have thousand yard rushers, two of them in
- 13:32Speaker 1: the same backfield. Um, there's absolutely enough carries for these guys.
- 13:37Speaker 1: But I tend to think of a t N as
- 13:39Speaker 1: the offensive weapon because I do think that he is
- 13:42Speaker 1: going to be that creativity that that when the Chiefs
- 13:47Speaker 1: got Tyreek Hill, they didn't just start lining him up
- 13:50Speaker 1: at wide receiver. They moved him out of the backfield,
- 13:53Speaker 1: the slot a lot of different ways that they deployed
- 13:56Speaker 1: him until he became a Pro Bowl, All Pro wide receiver.
- 13:59Speaker 1: And now that's pretty much what he does. But this
- 14:01Speaker 1: kid's got the same sort of explosiveness that that that
- 14:06Speaker 1: Hill has, and so they can put him in many
- 14:08Speaker 1: different rules and I just it's gonna be touches, and
- 14:11Speaker 1: this offense looks to have a lot of explosiveness to
- 14:14Speaker 1: it with this quarterback and this scheme, and I think
- 14:17Speaker 1: there's gonna be plenty of touches to go around all right,
- 14:19Speaker 1: I like it. Quarterbacks. Yeah, you know, I was having
- 14:22Speaker 1: a conversation over the weekend. I was home in Kansas
- 14:24Speaker 1: City for Mother's Day and my brothers were interested in,
- 14:28Speaker 1: you know what's going on here with Trevor Lawrence, and
- 14:30Speaker 1: we were talking about quarterbacks, and we got into the
- 14:33Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the a f C South. And if you're
- 14:35Speaker 1: calling year ago, um, you had a really strong situation
- 14:39Speaker 1: with DeShawn Watson in Houston and Tannehill has emerged with
- 14:44Speaker 1: Derrick Henry Um. But you know, the Jaguars were bottom
- 14:50Speaker 1: of the barrel, all right, They Gardner Minshew, they didn't
- 14:53Speaker 1: know what they had. Well, now, if you look at
- 14:54Speaker 1: the a f C South in particular, look at the
- 14:56Speaker 1: quarterback situations and then look at at Jacksonville. So I
- 14:59Speaker 1: would argue with you that they they've gone from the
- 15:02Speaker 1: least settled to the most settled. And the kid hasn't
- 15:05Speaker 1: even played for him yet, right, because the Deshaun Watson
- 15:07Speaker 1: thing just star quarterback, absolutely elite star quarterback. But do
- 15:12Speaker 1: we know when he's gonna play again. And it's funny
- 15:14Speaker 1: because at the end of last season, you could have
- 15:16Speaker 1: argued that was the most settled quarterback without a doubt
- 15:20Speaker 1: Tannehill has played at a Pro Bowl level. But Derrick
- 15:22Speaker 1: Henry I think made him because he was played bordles
- 15:25Speaker 1: when he was with Miami and didn't have that strong
- 15:28Speaker 1: running game. Everything is based off of Derrick Henry in Tennessee,
- 15:32Speaker 1: and so Tannehill, who does have a nice arm, has
- 15:35Speaker 1: been able to thrive in that. But if if Derrick
- 15:37Speaker 1: Henry goes out, we'll find out. Right, I don't know
- 15:40Speaker 1: that that's a very settled situation without Derrick Henry. And
- 15:42Speaker 1: then of course, Carson Wentz is coming off the season
- 15:44Speaker 1: in which he was benched for a draft pick, right,
- 15:47Speaker 1: Carson Wentz forty million dollars of dead money that they
- 15:51Speaker 1: that they're they're sucking up this year in their in
- 15:53Speaker 1: their cap situation. So getn't even played yet, and already
- 15:57Speaker 1: he has made the Jaguars quarterback situation perhaps the most
- 16:00Speaker 1: settled in the A. C. Style. Yeah, I think I
- 16:02Speaker 1: think Tanny Hills a little better than you give him
- 16:05Speaker 1: credit for. But your point is still absolutely dead on
- 16:08Speaker 1: and he's uh, you know, as long as as long
- 16:13Speaker 1: as Trevor is what he's supposed to be, then you're
- 16:15Speaker 1: exactly right. And that's what I don't know if you
- 16:17Speaker 1: find if you start finding out Friday, you have seen
- 16:21Speaker 1: him through Friday. But as when we start finding out
- 16:23Speaker 1: next season. Yeah, and I think you look at this
- 16:25Speaker 1: yere yes. But more so if you look at the
- 16:28Speaker 1: situation five years from now, like Ryan Tannehill's contracted through,
- 16:32Speaker 1: then what and you start looking in the future. This
- 16:35Speaker 1: is supposed to be a quarterback for the next ten
- 16:37Speaker 1: fifteen years maybe more. It seems like the Jaguars are
- 16:40Speaker 1: on a path of of new and fresh and come
- 16:43Speaker 1: three four years, all these other teams are gonna have
- 16:45Speaker 1: to be figuring it out well. And and that just
- 16:47Speaker 1: makes the Texans situation seem that much more troubling because
- 16:50Speaker 1: you know, they this year, the one thing that could
- 16:53Speaker 1: count on was Deshaun Watson and he had a tremendous year,
- 16:56Speaker 1: and their roster is all of a sudden influx. He's
- 16:59Speaker 1: not there. They couldn't trade him to recoup draft picks
- 17:02Speaker 1: in a year in which there were a lot of quarterbacks.
- 17:04Speaker 1: So that's a that's a bad situation. But they have
- 17:07Speaker 1: gone from here not having a clue to the quarterback
- 17:09Speaker 1: was going to be too Okay, you got the guy
- 17:12Speaker 1: that'd be good buy in all right. I hate to
- 17:16Speaker 1: bring up old news. I never do that, but look
- 17:19Speaker 1: how the Jaguars have capitalized on the Jalen Ramsey trade.
- 17:22Speaker 1: First round Caleb and Chason Travis et t N in
- 17:26Speaker 1: this draft in fourth round pick Jordan's Smith. Not to
- 17:30Speaker 1: mention that you feel pretty good about your cornerback room
- 17:32Speaker 1: as it is right now, I would say that wasn't
- 17:35Speaker 1: too shabby of a trade. JP. We'll see what Caleb
- 17:38Speaker 1: and Chason does this year. Different scheme, you know, first
- 17:42Speaker 1: year out last season, a lot of inconsistency on defense,
- 17:46Speaker 1: to say it nicely, uh, at the end of the
- 17:49Speaker 1: year left, Yeah he was. So that gives you a
- 17:51Speaker 1: little hope that he can really step in and and
- 17:53Speaker 1: maybe it opens up some space for him this year
- 17:55Speaker 1: in a different scheme with different feel for him. And
- 17:59Speaker 1: then E t N. We'll see. There's all that promise
- 18:01Speaker 1: with what he can do in the offensive sithen Jordan
- 18:03Speaker 1: Smith is a little bit of a project still. I
- 18:06Speaker 1: think he's a little later down, but hey, maybe he
- 18:09Speaker 1: comes out there and flashes and gives you some production earlier.
- 18:12Speaker 1: It's it's a big TBD to me. I mean, it's
- 18:14Speaker 1: it's a they had to trade Jalen. When they traded him,
- 18:18Speaker 1: it was I mean, I wouldn't have either let him sit,
- 18:21Speaker 1: but they believed they had to trade him. It was
- 18:25Speaker 1: a situation that I guess was not going to solve itself.
- 18:28Speaker 1: But the three guys they've traded for too haven't been
- 18:31Speaker 1: on the field, and it's it's a big TBD. Let
- 18:35Speaker 1: me take a different tack with it. Jalen Ramsey is
- 18:37Speaker 1: a star. He's he is a difference making, game changing player.
- 18:42Speaker 1: We know that the Rams know it. That's why they
- 18:44Speaker 1: traded picks and gave him the big salary. I would
- 18:47Speaker 1: argue that if he were here, you wouldn't have Trevor Lawrence.
- 18:50Speaker 1: He would have made a play or two. He would
- 18:52Speaker 1: have done something that would have won you another game
- 18:55Speaker 1: or two um or change the outcome or the momentum
- 18:58Speaker 1: of a game, and you wouldn't have been as bad
- 19:02Speaker 1: as they were last year with Jalen Ramsey here. So
- 19:05Speaker 1: not only to trading him, that those three players that
- 19:07Speaker 1: you've talked about, I would argue that also brought to
- 19:10Speaker 1: you Trevor Lawrence. And from that perspective, million dollars to
- 19:15Speaker 1: the point is exactly right. Although he may have been
- 19:18Speaker 1: as he may have been enough of a disruption to
- 19:21Speaker 1: counter anything he didn't field. I'm saying that a little
- 19:24Speaker 1: bit tongue in cheek, But he was a prideful enough guy.
- 19:27Speaker 1: He was going to go. Had he been playing right,
- 19:30Speaker 1: had he been playing the way he's capable, and and
- 19:34Speaker 1: if his back had been okay, then I completely believe
- 19:36Speaker 1: that you his back would have been bad. Maybe all
- 19:40Speaker 1: minus minus is a it's looking down the road. It's
- 19:45Speaker 1: you know, if he's here and he's playing, you know,
- 19:48Speaker 1: I get it. He wasn't happy and all that, But
- 19:49Speaker 1: if you'd had a player of his caliber on defense
- 19:52Speaker 1: last year on your roster, he would have been the
- 19:54Speaker 1: best player on the roster. And you probably don't go
- 19:57Speaker 1: one in fifteen with a player like that on your team. Yeah,
- 19:59Speaker 1: you probably get three wins, and it's a whole different
- 20:01Speaker 1: ballgame works time forward. Did you hear this? Duty Batista
- 20:05Speaker 1: of NFL Network has been everywhere contdag wars lately, and
- 20:09Speaker 1: she did a deep dive on why head coach Urban
- 20:12Speaker 1: Meyer places such a strong emphasis on sports sites. Well,
- 20:16Speaker 1: he really emphasized he thinks the biggest change they've already
- 20:19Speaker 1: made is to sports performance, and that's really you know,
- 20:22Speaker 1: like a catch all term for how you take care
- 20:25Speaker 1: of players, how you treat players. He really emphasizes like
- 20:28Speaker 1: things should be you should have the best of the
- 20:31Speaker 1: best for the players, Like this should be a franchise
- 20:35Speaker 1: built around supporting the players and doing everything you can
- 20:39Speaker 1: to maximize the players, which is not just good for
- 20:42Speaker 1: the team, it's good for the players, right. And and
- 20:45Speaker 1: that means everything from you know, nutrition, uh, treatment facilities, right,
- 20:51Speaker 1: recovery facilities, um, you know, personalized attention to their diets,
- 20:56Speaker 1: personalized attention to their weightlifting regiment, just everything geared to
- 21:01Speaker 1: getting the most out of players. And of course players
- 21:04Speaker 1: like that. They want their bodies to be taken care
- 21:06Speaker 1: of and that maximizes their career and obviously their earnings
- 21:09Speaker 1: that go along with it. And certainly it has benefits
- 21:13Speaker 1: for the team, right, I mean, if players are performing
- 21:16Speaker 1: at their peak, that's that's good for the team generally.
- 21:19Speaker 1: So he really has emphasized that, and he said he's
- 21:22Speaker 1: been interested in that since he was a receiver's coach
- 21:24Speaker 1: at Colorado State, Like he used to send his receivers
- 21:27Speaker 1: to go run track on the theory that the track
- 21:30Speaker 1: coaches know how to teach speed. He didn't know how
- 21:33Speaker 1: to teach speed, but they knew how to teach speed.
- 21:35Speaker 1: So he's always been sort of interested in that. And
- 21:38Speaker 1: but he said, you know, it's hard to do it
- 21:39Speaker 1: at college. They did it at Ohio State because they
- 21:41Speaker 1: have obviously have big resources at Ohio State. Be says,
- 21:45Speaker 1: most college programs, you know, don't have those kinds of resources.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Obviously NFL teams have those kinds of resources, and you
- 21:51Speaker 1: should be using them, right. I mean, his feeling is,
- 21:54Speaker 1: you know, the modern athlete, as he put it, it's
- 21:57Speaker 1: like a high performance sports car and you have to
- 22:01Speaker 1: maintain it like a high performance sports car car or
- 22:04Speaker 1: just like a sports car, it will break down. You
- 22:07Speaker 1: do not want players breaking down. And he said he
- 22:09Speaker 1: was really inspired by you know, he would talk to
- 22:12Speaker 1: his old players from Florida and Ohio State who would
- 22:15Speaker 1: go into the NFL and then their careers would end
- 22:17Speaker 1: kind of prematurely and here and asked him, you know
- 22:20Speaker 1: what the heck happened? Like, you know, I know, you've
- 22:21Speaker 1: got gas left in the tank. And they would tell him,
- 22:25Speaker 1: you know, they don't take care of your bodies in
- 22:26Speaker 1: the NFL. And so that's always been in his head
- 22:29Speaker 1: that you know, you've got to take care of these guys,
- 22:31Speaker 1: and he wants, you know, if guys want dry needling
- 22:35Speaker 1: and acupuncture and plunge pools, then that's what they should have.
- 22:40Speaker 1: That Jaguars should be supplying that. You know, you shouldn't
- 22:43Speaker 1: have to go outside to find somebody to do dry needling.
- 22:47Speaker 1: Why wouldn't the franchise provide that. So that was a
- 22:49Speaker 1: big point of emphasis for him, and I think it's
- 22:51Speaker 1: going to be a huge point of emphasis going forward
- 22:53Speaker 1: for the franchise. Well, he really emphasized he thinks the
- 22:56Speaker 1: biggest change they've already made is too sports performance and
- 23:00Speaker 1: that's really you know, like a catch all term for
- 23:02Speaker 1: how you take care of players, how you treat players.
- 23:05Speaker 1: He really emphasizes, like things should be you should have
- 23:09Speaker 1: the best of the best for the players, Like this
- 23:12Speaker 1: should be a franchise built around supporting the players and
- 23:16Speaker 1: doing everything you can to maximize the players, which is
- 23:20Speaker 1: not just good for the team, it's good for the players, right,
- 23:23Speaker 1: and and that means everything from you know, nutrition, uh,
- 23:27Speaker 1: treatment facilities, right, recovery facilities, um, you know, personalized attention
- 23:33Speaker 1: to their diets, personalized attention to their weightlifting regiment, just
- 23:38Speaker 1: everything geared to getting the most out of players. And
- 23:42Speaker 1: of course players like that. They want their bodies to
- 23:44Speaker 1: be taken care of and that maximizes their career and
- 23:47Speaker 1: obviously their earnings that go along with it. And certainly
- 23:51Speaker 1: it has benefits for the team, right, I mean, if
- 23:53Speaker 1: players are performing at their peak, that's that's good for
- 23:56Speaker 1: the team generally. So he really has emphasized at and
- 24:00Speaker 1: he said he's he's been interested in that since he
- 24:02Speaker 1: was a receiver's coach at Colorado State, Like he used
- 24:04Speaker 1: to send his receivers to go run track on the
- 24:07Speaker 1: theory that the track coaches know how to teach speed.
- 24:11Speaker 1: He didn't know how to teach speed, but they knew
- 24:12Speaker 1: how to teach speed. So he's always been sort of
- 24:15Speaker 1: interested in that. And but he said, you know, it's
- 24:17Speaker 1: hard to do it at college. They did it at
- 24:19Speaker 1: Ohio State because they have obviously have big resources at
- 24:22Speaker 1: Ohio State. Bea says, most college programs, you know, don't
- 24:25Speaker 1: have those kinds of resources. Obviously, NFL teams have those
- 24:28Speaker 1: kinds of resources, and you should be using them, right.
- 24:31Speaker 1: I Mean, his feeling is, you know, the modern athlete,
- 24:34Speaker 1: he as he put it, it's like a high performance
- 24:37Speaker 1: sports car and you have to maintain it like a
- 24:40Speaker 1: high performance sports car car or just like a sports car,
- 24:44Speaker 1: it will break down. You do not want players breaking down.
- 24:47Speaker 1: And he said he was really inspired by you know,
- 24:50Speaker 1: he would talk to his old players from Florida and
- 24:52Speaker 1: Ohio State who would go into the NFL and then
- 24:54Speaker 1: their careers would end kind of prematurely, and he and
- 24:58Speaker 1: asked him, you know, what the heck happened? Like, know,
- 25:00Speaker 1: I know you've got gas left in the tank. And
- 25:02Speaker 1: they would tell him, you know, they don't take care
- 25:04Speaker 1: of your bodies in the NFL. And so that's always
- 25:07Speaker 1: been in his head that you know, you've got to
- 25:09Speaker 1: take care of these guys. And he wants, you know,
- 25:12Speaker 1: if guys want dry needling and acupuncture and plunge pools,
- 25:17Speaker 1: then that's what they should have. That Jaguars should be

- 25:23Speaker 1: to find somebody to do dry needling. Why wouldn't the
- 25:26Speaker 1: franchise provide that. So that was a big point of
- 25:29Speaker 1: emphasis for him, and I think it's going to be
- 25:30Speaker 1: a huge point of emphasis going forward for the franchise.
- 25:33Speaker 1: You can catch the rest of that interview on the
- 25:35Speaker 1: ozone podcasts and Brian this has been a topic since
- 25:39Speaker 1: head coach Obenmeyer was hired. Here. He's gonna change everything.
- 25:42Speaker 1: You look at this building and something's going to change,
- 25:44Speaker 1: but especially the sports science thing. This is almost priority
- 25:48Speaker 1: number three on the list. Yeah. I mean, look, these
- 25:52Speaker 1: athletes have almost become like NASCAR, right, I mean the
- 25:56Speaker 1: science that they put into their own Remember the story
- 25:58Speaker 1: that we did about Calais Campbell and how much and
- 26:00Speaker 1: he spent for his own acupuncturist, in his own massage therapist. Um,
- 26:04Speaker 1: so I get why he's putting so much into it
- 26:06Speaker 1: because he's trying to get so much out of it.
- 26:08Speaker 1: The point I would make is it's it's interesting. We're
- 26:11Speaker 1: already seeing this. Judy Batista is here. She was here
- 26:13Speaker 1: for the draft. She came down once, I think when
- 26:15Speaker 1: Tom Coughlin was here because she had a relationship with
- 26:18Speaker 1: him from the days in New York. Um, and she
- 26:20Speaker 1: does a great job. By the way, I enjoyer. You're
- 26:22Speaker 1: gonna see her all the time now, right because Urban
- 26:25Speaker 1: is so interesting. In the combination of Urban Meyer and
- 26:28Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is so compelling even though they haven't done
- 26:30Speaker 1: anything yet. Buckle up. I mean they're gonna be embedded.
- 26:33Speaker 1: Remember when reporters were embedded in the Warrant Rock twenty
- 26:36Speaker 1: years ago. She's gonna be embedded with the Jaguars and
- 26:38Speaker 1: others will be embedded down here, following the story as
- 26:41Speaker 1: it grows, because the NFL is about entertainment and it's
- 26:44Speaker 1: about telling stories. And I don't know that there's as
- 26:48Speaker 1: compelling a story as what they're doing with this franchise
- 26:50Speaker 1: in this small market. I will say I kind of
- 26:53Speaker 1: I feel for James Palmer. I don't know if you
- 26:55Speaker 1: guys saw when he he asked her to throw him
- 26:57Speaker 1: the football and char was like, now I'm gonna save
- 26:59Speaker 1: it for my teammates. I was in del Rade this
- 27:01Speaker 1: weekend and I had so many people asked me, man,
- 27:03Speaker 1: what happened with James Palmer and Trevor? Like are are
- 27:05Speaker 1: they mad at each other? Like is this a big deal?
- 27:08Speaker 1: Like this thing went viral and I feel we make
- 27:11Speaker 1: a big deal out of things they don't need it. Yes, absolutely,
- 27:15Speaker 1: all right, it's time for everyone asking I will start
- 27:18Speaker 1: the schedule. Release is Wednesday at eight p m. What
- 27:22Speaker 1: opponents are you most excited for UM cedral GP. Well,
- 27:28Speaker 1: that's a good one. You know. We mentioned the Jets
- 27:31Speaker 1: earlier with the two young quarterbacks possibly against each other,
- 27:35Speaker 1: Zach Wilson Trevor Lawrence. I'd be fun to see um,
- 27:39Speaker 1: you know, a trip to Seattle. Why not Russell Wilson
- 27:44Speaker 1: and and Trevor. You know, Trevor and whoever the quarterback
- 27:47Speaker 1: is the other team is a pretty good matchup. How
- 27:49Speaker 1: about the l A. Rams. We mentioned Jalen Ramsey playing
- 27:52Speaker 1: the Jaguars for the first time. I know it's a
- 27:54Speaker 1: new regime, but I don't think it's gonna matter to Jalen. No. Well,
- 27:58Speaker 1: I think can fascinating. I don't know if I'm sided
- 28:00Speaker 1: about one particular game, but there are so many. They'll
- 28:03Speaker 1: play the Jets. I believe they'll play the Bengals. I
- 28:07Speaker 1: believe they'll play the Dolphins. So they're going there's a
- 28:11Speaker 1: chance to be a lot of matchups with presumably Trevor Lawrence.
- 28:16Speaker 1: I think he might have a chance to start Brian
- 28:18Speaker 1: Um So those will be depending on how they get started,
- 28:26Speaker 1: meaning depending on how the Jaguars start is uh. I
- 28:29Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna start five and oh. I think
- 28:31Speaker 1: there'll be some struggles still early, but depending on how
- 28:34Speaker 1: they start, those matchups will give you some very compelling
- 28:38Speaker 1: storylines no matter how the season plays out. You know,
- 28:42Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer. I don't know
- 28:44Speaker 1: that they're going to go ten and seven. I think
- 28:47Speaker 1: there's going to be ups and downs in the first
- 28:49Speaker 1: season of this. I think they'll be very, very good.
- 28:53Speaker 1: But those young quarterback matchups, I think we'll give you
- 28:58Speaker 1: something to hang your hat on. In tern was the
- 29:00Speaker 1: quarterbacks development, which obviously is the main story. In May,
- 29:04Speaker 1: I'll give you two. One at home is Arizona Kyler Murray.
- 29:07Speaker 1: Um that that's going to be a compelling storyline to
- 29:10Speaker 1: watch for me. Uh and the one on the road
- 29:13Speaker 1: is the Chargers. And uh, particularly because Justin Herbert's there,
- 29:16Speaker 1: and I don't recall whether people remember, um that Dave
- 29:20Speaker 1: Caldel was trying hard to get up in the draft
- 29:22Speaker 1: in twenty twenty to get Justin Herbert and didn't. So
- 29:26Speaker 1: there's the quarterback that got away, and then, of course,
- 29:28Speaker 1: because he got away, the quarterback that's here. And I
- 29:31Speaker 1: think that'll be a fun game absolutely all right. So
- 29:33Speaker 1: what we got we got Brian Sexton. Yeah, and I
- 29:35Speaker 1: have to pull this one up. Well no, no, I've
- 29:38Speaker 1: got it right here. It's okay. When I so, how
- 29:43Speaker 1: big would the crowd be at Rookie Minicamp was entirely
- 29:45Speaker 1: open to the public. Remember a couple of years ago
- 29:47Speaker 1: when Blake was here, we were like eight thousand people. Yea,
- 29:52Speaker 1: what do you think seven years ago? Oh for it
- 29:59Speaker 1: to be a couple of Again, would they have to
- 30:03Speaker 1: put it into the stadium if if it was open
- 30:06Speaker 1: because of this? Yeah, I think you'd put white JP.
- 30:09Speaker 1: You're the Alabama guys said, you know, it's spring ball.
- 30:13Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think it would put the Crimson
- 30:17Speaker 1: Tide puts two thousand in their spring game, right, But
- 30:20Speaker 1: I don't think it'd be that number. But I'm guessing
- 30:24Speaker 1: it would be. I mean you could in theory. I
- 30:27Speaker 1: think you could open it up and see who came
- 30:30Speaker 1: and they might not stop for a while. Because that's
- 30:33Speaker 1: kind of what it was with Blake. It eight with Blake,
- 30:36Speaker 1: was that it was eight eight with Blake and you're
- 30:40Speaker 1: multiplying it by three. Remember they had to stand people
- 30:43Speaker 1: on the side of the actual practice field and open
- 30:45Speaker 1: up field three for people to stand on just to
- 30:47Speaker 1: what it was the scene man, so uh you know
- 30:50Speaker 1: that times two at least right sixteen last time. I'm
- 30:54Speaker 1: not a math major, but I think it's fair to
- 30:56Speaker 1: savy be in the stadium. Yeah, but a last COVID
- 31:00Speaker 1: makes it not as fun, but that's okay. We will
- 31:03Speaker 1: prevail JP Shadrick. What's you got for us? There's been
- 31:07Speaker 1: a lot of tight end talk lately for the Jaguars. Um,
- 31:11Speaker 1: so yeah, I don't know if you've heard. So will
- 31:15Speaker 1: the Jaguars make a trade for the quote unquote answer
- 31:19Speaker 1: to the tight end discussion. They're still looking for that
- 31:21Speaker 1: past catching consistent threat, they say at tight end. If not,
- 31:27Speaker 1: then what do they let it ride as it is?
- 31:30Speaker 1: Do they sign somebody off the street if available, or
- 31:33Speaker 1: do they leverage their waiver positioning at roster cuts? Brian Um,
- 31:38Speaker 1: it's good to remind people that this is the first
- 31:42Speaker 1: year of Myers build and you can't get all positions
- 31:48Speaker 1: answered from a one in fifteen roster through free agency
- 31:51Speaker 1: in the first draft, so they might not get it
- 31:54Speaker 1: this year. I don't think they trade because next year
- 31:57Speaker 1: they only have six strap choices seven, so it's not
- 31:59Speaker 1: like you're gonna trade a premium drafts about to get
- 32:01Speaker 1: somebody who's on someone else's roster. I think you let
- 32:04Speaker 1: it ride for now. I guess they're gonna sign Tim
- 32:06Speaker 1: Tebow or at some point. But he's not the answer. No,
- 32:09Speaker 1: he's not the answer. And I think you're the answer
- 32:10Speaker 1: is going to come next year. And we've seen them tried.
- 32:13Speaker 1: By the way, remember Julius Thomas, how did that work?
- 32:16Speaker 1: I'd say that next year? Yeah, exactly right, Austin Seferi
- 32:20Speaker 1: and Jenkins for those of you who don't recall his
- 32:22Speaker 1: brief tenure here. Um, I think this is something that
- 32:25Speaker 1: they'll try to solve in the draft or free agency
- 32:27Speaker 1: next year. You don't forget Jeff Swain. I don't know
- 32:32Speaker 1: that they the urgency outside the building on this topic. Um,
- 32:39Speaker 1: it's a bigg story than Watergate around here. This is
- 32:43Speaker 1: you know, it's like a ten it. It's like the
- 32:46Speaker 1: world will come to an end when they didn't go
- 32:49Speaker 1: after Kyle Pitts. I I know from listening to urban
- 32:54Speaker 1: talk they know it's a need. My impression is it's
- 32:58Speaker 1: a need. Okay, we gotta keep an eye on this.
- 33:02Speaker 1: I don't think they see it as a ten it's
- 33:05Speaker 1: not def Con eight. You know, it's uh because, as
- 33:09Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks has pointed out on the Hole Up Podcast
- 33:12Speaker 1: several times, Schottenheimer and Bevel in the past haven't really
- 33:16Speaker 1: used tight ends a whole lot in their offense. Urbans
- 33:20Speaker 1: offenses in college were not tight end centric um. It
- 33:24Speaker 1: would be good to have one, but I don't know
- 33:26Speaker 1: that they have it on their radar as this. I
- 33:29Speaker 1: don't think that they don't believe they can function offensively
- 33:34Speaker 1: unless they have Kyle Pitts. It would be a nice
- 33:36Speaker 1: thing they have it. So answer the question, I don't
- 33:39Speaker 1: know that they'll I don't think they're gonna make a
- 33:41Speaker 1: trade that gives up any significant equity. And I don't
- 33:43Speaker 1: think they're gonna make a trade for somebody that they
- 33:45Speaker 1: have to. Okay, as soon as you're in the building,
- 33:47Speaker 1: he's looking at him saying, well, where's my five year deal?
- 33:50Speaker 1: So I think that's what is prevented the zach Ertz
- 33:55Speaker 1: or any other veteran is you would have to sign
- 33:57Speaker 1: him to a long term deal as soon as you
- 33:58Speaker 1: get HI where he's unhappy. So I guess the answer
- 34:01Speaker 1: the question, I'm not sure they're going to do much
- 34:03Speaker 1: except maybe ride with Well, look at they've got a
- 34:05Speaker 1: blocking tight end in Chris Man Hurts and so necessity
- 34:09Speaker 1: is the mother of invention, right, They've got a lot
- 34:12Speaker 1: of different pieces that they can use. You can move
- 34:14Speaker 1: College Johnson around, you can put Travis E. T n.
- 34:17Speaker 1: So maybe you do more of the fun and gun
- 34:20Speaker 1: type of thing with more receivers. Yeah. Absolutely, And look,
- 34:24Speaker 1: it would be great to have a Noah Fan as
- 34:27Speaker 1: your young star tight end. You don't, so figure out
- 34:30Speaker 1: other ways to get the ball into the middle of
- 34:32Speaker 1: the field just makes sense. I think they let it
- 34:35Speaker 1: ride for all those reasons. I don't think it's worth
- 34:37Speaker 1: going and trading for a body at this point. Let
- 34:39Speaker 1: it ride, and you were one fifteen last season. You
- 34:41Speaker 1: can't fix it all in one year. That's all I got, John,
- 34:45Speaker 1: bring us home. So you know your questions. I don't
- 34:48Speaker 1: know my question. I come prepare. That's how I roll.
- 34:52Speaker 1: Aside from Trevor, and on one level, this sort of
- 34:56Speaker 1: silly questions have already established there's not gonna be that
- 34:58Speaker 1: much to see on Friday. But beyond Trevor, anybody that
- 35:03Speaker 1: you're excited about seeing on the field, excited about seeing
- 35:06Speaker 1: how they run. Uh, some sort of dynamic or if
- 35:10Speaker 1: you're just excited about seeing them play next year. Beyond
- 35:13Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, Slynn Walker Little hasn't played football in so long.
- 35:17Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be fired up to be on
- 35:18Speaker 1: the field and offensive line for rookie mini camp. You
- 35:21Speaker 1: can at least see what they look like in person,
- 35:23Speaker 1: how tall they are, how big they are. So I'm
- 35:25Speaker 1: gonna go him with a very hard second to Trevor Lawrence. Okay, well,
- 35:29Speaker 1: basice Tervor Lawrences, I'm still putting him into lawn. That
- 35:34Speaker 1: was the whole Okay, that's an obvious answer. That wouldn't
- 35:38Speaker 1: be fun if I said Trevor Lawrence like great, so
- 35:41Speaker 1: well all of us give me give me Travis et n.
- 35:44Speaker 1: I know they're wearing, as our friend Doug Moron would say,
- 35:48Speaker 1: pajamas on this weekend. But we'll see him run around,
- 35:51Speaker 1: all right. I mean you'll see a little bit of
- 35:53Speaker 1: the what he has to offer. He won't open it
- 35:55Speaker 1: up all the way, I don't think, but let's see
- 35:58Speaker 1: who the best running back or of the best running
- 36:00Speaker 1: backs in college football was the last few years and
- 36:02Speaker 1: see him in the flesh on Friday. Yeah, I agree
- 36:05Speaker 1: with JP Bryant seeing ETN and I do believe you
- 36:08Speaker 1: can see explosiveness, and I just see how quick some
- 36:12Speaker 1: of the missibility stuff. But who are you most looking
- 36:15Speaker 1: forward to. I'll go with the lightning in the bottle.
- 36:18Speaker 1: I'll go to Jordan Smith, the pass rusher, and I
- 36:20Speaker 1: know it's you know, you know, I can see a
- 36:22Speaker 1: lot of of that kind of stuff. But I want
- 36:24Speaker 1: to see what six ft six almost six ft seven
- 36:27Speaker 1: two and fifty looks like. How athletic is he? I
- 36:29Speaker 1: mean to keep hearing he's a freak athlete. Of course,
- 36:32Speaker 1: the term freak athlete is thrown around about so many guys.
- 36:34Speaker 1: Now there are many more. Now you know a quitty
- 36:40Speaker 1: pay in the first round was a freak athlete. All right, Well,
- 36:43Speaker 1: let's see just you can tell how a guy moves,
- 36:46Speaker 1: you know, even when they're just running, how natural they are.
- 36:49Speaker 1: I know he's got he's got a road in front
- 36:51Speaker 1: of him, because that's what coach Meyer said, you know,
- 36:55Speaker 1: on on the final day of the draft. But he
- 36:57Speaker 1: was you know, six seven to sixty five at one
- 36:59Speaker 1: point um during his college career, so he should look
- 37:02Speaker 1: like it. And if you're going to play a three,
- 37:04Speaker 1: four and I've said it already a hundred times. I'll
- 37:06Speaker 1: say it again. You need lots and lots and lots
- 37:09Speaker 1: of linebackers and he's going to have to be one
- 37:11Speaker 1: of them. On that front. I'm kind of looking forward
- 37:13Speaker 1: to seeing Shatterick's guy, Dylan Moses. Yeah, a linebacker. See
- 37:17Speaker 1: how he is. Um, he had some knee issues, was
- 37:19Speaker 1: fighting through some pain last year. That could be and
- 37:23Speaker 1: if he's right, then they've found something. That's a steel
- 37:26Speaker 1: undrafted when did the intervening a couple of years ago,
- 37:28Speaker 1: but then played last year through some pain and was
- 37:32Speaker 1: great early in his career at Alabama. And if he
- 37:34Speaker 1: can hit, then he found something. Yea, he was first round. Yeah,
- 37:38Speaker 1: we'll see. All right. There you have. It's big week.
