0:48
Speaker 1: said on this program and then the others, we'll have
0:51
Speaker 1: an idea of what it could look like, but we

Speaker 1: don't really know. We'll hear from Gardner Minshew though on
0:56
Speaker 1: on the veteran part of that group, the offensive line
0:59
Speaker 1: uniform on veiling that happens every Wednesday. Jimmy Luck, head
1:02
Speaker 1: equipment manager, will join us virtually and give us an
1:06

1:08
Speaker 1: department and what the Jags will be wearing. We're gonna
1:11
Speaker 1: debut of the game called Big Game Jaguar and as
1:15
Speaker 1: you might imagine, we're gonna pick the Jaguars that will
1:18
Speaker 1: have a big game. Real original name for the segment
1:22
Speaker 1: coming up later, we'll go around the league as well.
1:25
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks in Los Angeles, Good afternoon. What's happening man,
1:29
Speaker 1: It's all good. Really excited. First week of games taking
1:33
Speaker 1: place this weekend. So let's get after it. Yeah, kick
1:37
Speaker 1: off weekend is here, John, at long last, We're gonna
1:40
Speaker 1: teat up and toil meat leather on Sunday at one o'clock. John,
1:44
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm excited about big game Wednesday. I mean,
1:48
Speaker 1: I can tell you put some time into that one,
1:50
Speaker 1: j V and I appreciate you and the boys back
1:53
Speaker 1: in the studio. Yeah, well, you know we're gonna move
1:57
Speaker 1: it towards the end of the show to build some
1:59
Speaker 1: anticipate ation for for the last segment. It's there, it's
2:03
Speaker 1: been there. It's big. It's big. So I'm glad you're
2:06
Speaker 1: along with us today. Um, let's start off the injury
2:09
Speaker 1: report today. The first injury report of the regular season
2:12
Speaker 1: put out Divino zigbo Is on there with a hamstring
2:15
Speaker 1: did not practice today, Tyler Davis with an issue, and
2:18
Speaker 1: Tyler Eiffort had a scheduled day off, so we'll see
2:22
Speaker 1: obviously how the rest of the week goes, Bucky, But
2:25
Speaker 1: when one of your three running backs is did not
2:28
Speaker 1: practice going into the week, Um, that's a little bit
2:32
Speaker 1: concerning on Wednesday. Yeah, I asked a huge concern because
2:36
Speaker 1: Wednesdays the workday. When you think about the way most
2:40
Speaker 1: NFL teams practice, Wednesday day heavy day. It's the first
2:43
Speaker 1: day of your game plan. You're thinking about first and
2:45
Speaker 1: second now run packages, so that is where you really
2:48
Speaker 1: need all of your running backs available because that is
2:51
Speaker 1: the bulk of the game plan. When we get to
2:53
Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday, it becomes third down, red zone situations.
2:57
Speaker 1: It is a huge loss of these not there. But
2:59
Speaker 1: it really he's going to put the onus on Chris
3:02
Speaker 1: Thompson to be able to be ready to play and
3:04
Speaker 1: maybe play an even bigger role than we thought. Appointment
3:06
Speaker 1: going into the year. What do you think about this one? John,
3:10
Speaker 1: the first injury report, Well, it's uh, obviously you'd rather
3:15
Speaker 1: have it be limited or not at all. With his EGGA. Uh,
3:19
Speaker 1: it certainly means James Robinson, you sort of thought that
3:23
Speaker 1: might be a sixty forties split with the base carries
3:26
Speaker 1: between he and Robinson. Uh over now between Han and Zigga.
3:30
Speaker 1: You know, the Jaguars love James Robinson. They put a
3:33
Speaker 1: lot of stock into him. It also may mean eventually
3:36
Speaker 1: later in the week Nathan Cottrell, you know, I think
3:39
Speaker 1: he's protected, so might mean something with him. It's uh,
3:43
Speaker 1: it's not ideal, but James Robinson, he's gonna get his opportunities.
3:46
Speaker 1: And I think Bucky's right it will mean a more
3:49
Speaker 1: expanded role in the bass stuff for Chris Thompson maybe
3:52
Speaker 1: been originally thought. I'm curiously, I mean, this is we
3:58
Speaker 1: heard again today from from Doug Rone and Jake Gruden
4:01
Speaker 1: about Robinson and the faith they have in him and
4:05
Speaker 1: his mindset coming in here and kind of just goes
4:09
Speaker 1: about his business. And we've talked about it on these
4:11
Speaker 1: shows already, Bucky, but he's the first string and running
4:14
Speaker 1: back on the depth chart at least now in reality,
4:16
Speaker 1: that might not be the case come game day. You know,
4:19
Speaker 1: he might be the first guy out there. But that's
4:21
Speaker 1: pretty remarkable to have an undrafted running back as your
4:25
Speaker 1: possible opening day starter. It's unbelievable, particularly in this set
4:31
Speaker 1: of circumstances. Uh, you don't have an opportunity to see
4:34
Speaker 1: him playing in a preseason game, so we can only
4:36
Speaker 1: speculate what he is going to be like, not only
4:39
Speaker 1: as a runner, but in past protection. So much of
4:42
Speaker 1: what running backs need to be able to do is
4:44
Speaker 1: they need to be able to double read and make
4:46
Speaker 1: sure they pick up the right guy when it comes
4:48
Speaker 1: to who is the additional blitzer so they can protect
4:51
Speaker 1: the quarterback. And so to task a young player and
4:54
Speaker 1: undrafted player with that man that is that is a lot.
4:59
Speaker 1: It means he must has really been very impressive during
5:02
Speaker 1: the virtual off season, and when they got him onto
5:05
Speaker 1: the field, he had to show people that he could
5:07
Speaker 1: take it from the board to the field and do
5:09
Speaker 1: it very, very quickly and efficiently. We'll see coming up
5:13
Speaker 1: this Sunday what they have in mind at the running
5:15
Speaker 1: back position. We'll get into the offense a little bit more.
5:19
Speaker 1: Coming up, we'll here from Gardner Minshew Um and he'll
5:23
Speaker 1: discuss that offensive line, the veteran group up front, and
5:26
Speaker 1: and their mindset going into the season. But let's start
5:30
Speaker 1: with the Jags defense against a Colts offense this week. Guys. Obviously,
5:35
Speaker 1: they ran the Bowl well last year. John anyway, and
5:38
Speaker 1: then you throw in Philip Rivers on top of everything,
5:42
Speaker 1: and they have a great offensive line, a very well
5:45
Speaker 1: paid offensive line by the way, So this offense is
5:48
Speaker 1: formidable to say the least. They can really really move
5:51
Speaker 1: the ball, Bucky the uh we're talking about JP. You
6:01
Speaker 1: talk about the offensive line, they are very formidable. When
6:04
Speaker 1: you think about Ryan Kelly and Quinn Nelson inside being
6:07
Speaker 1: able to control the point of attack, Brandon Smith and
6:10
Speaker 1: Cosanso being solid on the edges. Make no mistake about it.
6:14
Speaker 1: Despite Philip rivers arrival, Frank Wright wants to run the
6:17
Speaker 1: football and it starts up front. You're talking about one
6:20
Speaker 1: of the best offensive lines in football. They want to
6:23
Speaker 1: set the tone with the big boys up front. There's
6:26
Speaker 1: a lot of money going out, Bucky on the front
6:29
Speaker 1: pot for the Indianapolis Colts. I mean those guys. They
6:32
Speaker 1: just signed the center to an extension really from the
6:35
Speaker 1: center to the left guard to the left tackle, uh,
6:38
Speaker 1: and even the right guard. That's a lot of money
6:40
Speaker 1: going out, and then you have a second round pick
6:41
Speaker 1: at right tackle. It is it's got to be among
6:45
Speaker 1: the best in the league, right, I mean absolutely, it's
6:48
Speaker 1: one of the best in the league. When you look
6:50
Speaker 1: at the Uh, things that they've been able to do,
6:53
Speaker 1: like Chris Balllet, the general manager, has been able to
6:56
Speaker 1: flip the offensive line. You talk about those picks Quinn Nelson,
7:00
Speaker 1: Ryan Kelly Radon Smith come in very very quickly. They've
7:03
Speaker 1: been able to establish themselves as one of the top
7:07
Speaker 1: offensive lines. And because that unit is so dominant at
7:10
Speaker 1: the point of attack, they're able to run the ball
7:12
Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter who is in the backfield. With
7:15
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack and now Jonathan Taylor coming over, they can
7:17
Speaker 1: hit you with a one to punch and really play
7:19
Speaker 1: old school big boy football, which is what Frank Wright
7:22
Speaker 1: also wants to do at times. Yeah, and and then
7:25
Speaker 1: protect obviously the veteran quarterback John I'm not sure if
7:29
Speaker 1: you're with us or not, but uh, the can you
7:32
Speaker 1: imagine if Andrew Luck would have had an offensive line
7:34
Speaker 1: like this in his early days? Well, and that's the
7:38
Speaker 1: great irony of this team. It's uh it. It's a
7:42
Speaker 1: team that really shows you how important the quarterback position is.
7:46
Speaker 1: For from two thousand and twelve to two thousand and
7:49
Speaker 1: seventeen is eighteen is they were a playoff contender every
7:53
Speaker 1: year because of Andrew Luck. Most people would say the
7:56
Speaker 1: roster was okay, not great. Now that's sort of it
8:00
Speaker 1: where most people think it's a very very good roster,
8:03
Speaker 1: with the missing piece being a quarterback that we think
8:06
Speaker 1: will be good in Philip Rivers but aren't sure. I
8:09
Speaker 1: think Bucky said it best a couple of minutes ago.
8:13
Speaker 1: This is not a Phillips, a Philip Rivers driven team.
8:17
Speaker 1: This is a team that wants to play ground and pound.
8:19
Speaker 1: They want to run. So I think average NFL observer
8:24
Speaker 1: not paying great attention just sees Philip Rivers. I think
8:27
Speaker 1: this is a throw it all over your throw it
8:29
Speaker 1: all over the yard team. It's not at all. It
8:31
Speaker 1: will rise and fall on their running game, with Rivers
8:34
Speaker 1: needing to make a few big plays on top of that.
8:36
Speaker 1: So uh, they look awfully good as long as he's
8:41
Speaker 1: two thousand eighteen Philip Rivers and not two thousand nineteen. Yeah,
8:45
Speaker 1: they had some struggles last year, for sure. He's getting
8:48
Speaker 1: beat up a little bit too out in Los Angeles. UM.
8:51
Speaker 1: So obviously, the big point of emphasis for the Jaguars
8:54
Speaker 1: defense this whole offseason has been to stop the run
8:58
Speaker 1: more efficiently. They did not do that last season. We've
9:02
Speaker 1: been through all the changes in the offseason. The opt
9:04
Speaker 1: outs the retirements early in training camp. So this is
9:08
Speaker 1: the defense there you are going to go play with
9:10
Speaker 1: Bucky and they've got some new faces in the interior.
9:13
Speaker 1: There um a guy like joern again who will contribute.
9:16
Speaker 1: Avery Jones is still around. He's been here for a
9:19
Speaker 1: long time, eight years in the league now, and you've
9:21
Speaker 1: got a new middle linebacker two and Joe Schobert, so um,
9:25
Speaker 1: Josh Allen really has to play that run too. And
9:28
Speaker 1: they've talked about the strength of Chase On at times,
9:30
Speaker 1: but they really want him as a pass rusher if
9:33
Speaker 1: they can. But you have to get to pass rushing
9:35
Speaker 1: downs and it starts the first and second down, and
9:38
Speaker 1: this is going to be the You'll find out real
9:40
Speaker 1: quick if the Jaguars defense is has patched up the
9:43
Speaker 1: run game this year. Yeah, that would be the biggest
9:46
Speaker 1: part of the game, especially early. Can the Jaguars hold
9:49
Speaker 1: up against the physical running game. Everyone knows that the
9:53
Speaker 1: Jaguars struggle against the run a season ago. So the
9:56
Speaker 1: first thing that you do as an office coordinator you
9:58
Speaker 1: want to test and see if they have solve the issues.
10:01
Speaker 1: And if they haven't resolved the issues, they can get
10:04
Speaker 1: a heavy dosage of the run. So you you pointed
10:07
Speaker 1: to that into your triangle. R B. Jones, Tavin Bryant,
10:11
Speaker 1: Joe Schobert, the mic linebacker, those defensive tackles in mic linebacker,
10:16
Speaker 1: they have to dominate the tackle the tackle box so
10:19
Speaker 1: they can't get to the right so they can get
10:21
Speaker 1: the third down and have the right to rush the passer.
10:24
Speaker 1: But the first two downs, it is all about the
10:26
Speaker 1: toughness and being able to stop the run. If they
10:29
Speaker 1: stop the run, they have a chance. But if they
10:31
Speaker 1: are leaky, it's gonna be a problem. It's gonna be
10:33
Speaker 1: a long day. John, What did you when we heard
10:37
Speaker 1: from Todd wash Um? When was that earlier this week?
10:41
Speaker 1: I suppose when he spoke for and he'll speak again
10:44
Speaker 1: as last week. He'll speak again coming up later this week.
10:47
Speaker 1: That's obviously gonna be a talking point for Todd again
10:50
Speaker 1: this week is is how do you slow this ground
10:53
Speaker 1: game down? And he's known from the start this is
10:56
Speaker 1: what they have to do this whole offseason. Well, I
10:59
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be a major talking point until they show
11:01
Speaker 1: their better at it. And I mean I don't expect
11:05
Speaker 1: miracles up front this year, meaning I don't think all
11:08
Speaker 1: of a sudden they're going to be a dominant, dominant
11:11
Speaker 1: run stopping team. But what I do think they can improve.
11:13
Speaker 1: I mean, and I think they'll have a little bit
11:15
Speaker 1: of the same issue they had last year, which was
11:17
Speaker 1: more we bring down than being awful all season. They
11:21
Speaker 1: sort of broke down in mid season when some of
11:23
Speaker 1: those guys wore out. They just played too many snaps.
11:26
Speaker 1: But I do think they will be better in one regard.
11:29
Speaker 1: I don't think you'll see as many breakout plays against them. Remember,
11:33
Speaker 1: and there were games last year Carolina where it seemed
11:35
Speaker 1: duck Christian McCaffrey still running. There were a few games
11:38
Speaker 1: like that where they had to breakout plays. I think
11:40
Speaker 1: Joe Schobert and moving Miles Jack, and I think getting
11:44
Speaker 1: Josh Jones in there and frankly not having Rannie Harrison's
11:47
Speaker 1: not gonna hurt that. A lot of missed assignments last
11:49
Speaker 1: year in the middle because Miles was covering up for people.
11:52
Speaker 1: I think if they get that settled down and just
11:55
Speaker 1: don't allow the breakout runs, how about this your breakout
12:00
Speaker 1: play you're bad, play the eight yards instead of seventy.
12:03
Speaker 1: That would help dramatically and improving the run game to
12:07
Speaker 1: an acceptable level. Are they going to be dominant without
12:10
Speaker 1: Al Woods, without Marcel Darius in his prime all that stuff.
12:13
Speaker 1: I don't think so. But they can get better to
12:15
Speaker 1: where it's not losing them games outright. Yeah, that did
12:20
Speaker 1: feel like the case a lot. Those big breakaway runs
12:23
Speaker 1: really turned the game bucky a lot of times in
12:26
Speaker 1: last season for this defense. Yeah, you can't give up
12:29
Speaker 1: the explosives, explosive runs, explosive passes. Uh, that is the
12:33
Speaker 1: name of the game when it comes to defense. And
12:35
Speaker 1: you talked about the Jaguars wanted to get back to
12:37
Speaker 1: being a dominant unit. Where the easiest way to get
12:40
Speaker 1: back to doing that is simplify things so everyone knows
12:43
Speaker 1: exactly what they're doing. John alluded to some of the
12:46
Speaker 1: coverage bust, the minimal mistakes, the errors that are not
12:49
Speaker 1: even physical errors that lead to big plays. Well, let's
12:52
Speaker 1: eliminate those things. Make sure that everyone understands exactly what
12:55
Speaker 1: they're doing. Should it may be a smaller package of
12:58
Speaker 1: defensive calls this week, just because of the preseason where
13:01
Speaker 1: we're at, whether it's a small package, the players should
13:04
Speaker 1: know it. They should be able to run fast. They
13:06
Speaker 1: have to run fast to the ball and they have
13:08
Speaker 1: to tackle. Those are the biggest things early in the season.
13:11
Speaker 1: Will everyone hustle and can you make the open field tackle.
13:15
Speaker 1: If they can do those things, they can play pretty
13:16
Speaker 1: good run defense. Oh yeah, that's that. We'll find out
13:20
Speaker 1: quick if if which teams in this league have been
13:24
Speaker 1: going through tackling drills and which teams have not. I
13:27
Speaker 1: think on on kickoff weekend, we're just getting started. We'll
13:31
Speaker 1: come back and get onto the offensive side. We'll hear
13:34
Speaker 1: from Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew discussing the Jaguars veteran offensive
13:39
Speaker 1: line and what they want to prove this year. And
13:41
Speaker 1: of course game day is right around the corner and
13:43
Speaker 1: we can't wait to be dove all together again. The

16:19
Speaker 1: It's really good. I think they all have a lot
16:21
Speaker 1: of belief in each other, um that they're gonna be
16:23
Speaker 1: able to get the job done. And I know everybody
16:25

Speaker 1: the playmakers that could be on this Jaguars offense, from
17:12
Speaker 1: chart to effort to Leavisca chan alts just leaving a
17:17
Speaker 1: bunch of guys out obviously running back by committee. Um,
17:21
Speaker 1: you've got Gardner Minshew has to trigger all that. But really,
17:24
Speaker 1: I think Bucky and John, I think you and I
17:26
Speaker 1: on the practice field today talked about this for a
17:28
Speaker 1: moment as we watched the offensive line. It really starts
17:31
Speaker 1: there with the veteran five guys up front they're all
17:35
Speaker 1: back from last year, Bucky, and if those guys are
17:38
Speaker 1: playing well, then it sets up everything else on the offense.
17:42
Speaker 1: For for j Gruden, it absolutely sets that everything the
17:45
Speaker 1: offensive line is where it has to be done. We've
17:48
Speaker 1: had plenty of conversations throughout the off season about Cam
17:51
Speaker 1: Robinson and his Cam Ready, and I think he is
17:53
Speaker 1: the one that really makes it go. Thinking about your
17:56
Speaker 1: left tackle, the guy that is your blind side protector.
17:58
Speaker 1: If he is able to hold up in one on
18:00
Speaker 1: one and give Going to Miss you opportunities to throw
18:04
Speaker 1: without being under pressure, that helps. But really it's about
18:08
Speaker 1: the running game. And I know we don't anticipate the
18:11
Speaker 1: Jaguars having a bell cow runner. They're going to spread
18:14
Speaker 1: the carries out. But the best thing that they can
18:16
Speaker 1: do to help the offensive line is find a way
18:19
Speaker 1: to run the ball. The offensive line is always better
18:21
Speaker 1: when it's going forward as opposed to back fending. If
18:24
Speaker 1: they can run the ball at the point of attack.
18:26
Speaker 1: Andrew Norville a j can those guys, it gives them
18:29
Speaker 1: an opportunity to dictate the terms. That makes the conditions
18:32
Speaker 1: favorable for Going to Miss you to have success. John
18:37
Speaker 1: a lot of veteran presents, especially in the middle of
18:39
Speaker 1: that offensive line, guards and the center. Yeah, And it
18:43
Speaker 1: strikes me j P that maybe this is where there's
18:48
Speaker 1: the biggest disconnect between the fans and the team. Meaning
18:52
Speaker 1: when fans say, oh, they're tanking, what are they doing? Um,
18:56
Speaker 1: how could you know? Fans believe that Doug Maron and
19:01
Speaker 1: Dave Caldwell are absolutely lying to them. They think that
19:05
Speaker 1: Dave and Doug I think this team is going to
19:07
Speaker 1: be terrible, and I don't get that impression from talking
19:10
Speaker 1: to him. And I think the biggest reason why they've
19:13
Speaker 1: invested in this offensive line as a team, seventh year
19:17
Speaker 1: In Norwell's, seventh year Lender, sixth year Can, fourth year
19:21
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson for this team, that's a really veteran line.
19:25
Speaker 1: And if you wanted to tank, you to cut Lender,
19:28
Speaker 1: If you wanted to tank, you to cut Normal. They
19:30
Speaker 1: could have cut those guys. So that's where they believe
19:35
Speaker 1: that they're a good NFL team. You know, most teams
19:39
Speaker 1: that are horrible have horrible offensive line because they came
19:42
Speaker 1: to a quarterback. There's fumbles, it's a mess. You can't
19:44
Speaker 1: control anything on offense. If they're right, and the offensive
19:49
Speaker 1: line make the jump and is a solid unit and
19:52
Speaker 1: acknowledge is really really good, then maybe they can function
19:56
Speaker 1: offensively enough to be a legitimate contending team. That's where
20:00
Speaker 1: they're you know, that's what they're hanging their hats on.
20:04
Speaker 1: And fans don't get that because of this widespread belief
20:08
Speaker 1: that the offensive line is terrible. Whoever is right on
20:10
Speaker 1: that maybe the key to figuring out where this season
20:13
Speaker 1: is going. Yeah, John talks about the offensive lines. JP
20:22
Speaker 1: is really important that we understand there's a part of
20:25
Speaker 1: that that interior line that is very experienced. Being able
20:28
Speaker 1: to control the point of attack is so critical. If
20:31
Speaker 1: they can run the ball, slow the game down, limit
20:34
Speaker 1: the possessions. I think that's the way that they have
20:37
Speaker 1: to play. They wanted the game to have fewer possessions,
20:39
Speaker 1: not more possessions, given the firepower and some of the
20:42
Speaker 1: defensive struggles. The thing is it begins, that's right, that's right.
20:50
Speaker 1: They better be right in the path. I get why
20:54
Speaker 1: fans are skeptical, but that's their thoughts. We'll see. Um,
21:00
Speaker 1: that's that's where it begins. And then of course Gardner
21:02
Speaker 1: Minshew has the deal the cards the right way. Once
21:05
Speaker 1: the ball is snapped and you know, and he he
21:09
Speaker 1: said it last week when when when he spoke last
21:13
Speaker 1: that I liked his approach on it. You know, if
21:17
Speaker 1: we're tanking, then if if that stuff is happening and
21:20
Speaker 1: I'm out of a job, Dave's out of a job,
21:23
Speaker 1: Dougs out of a job. He kind of threw it
21:24
Speaker 1: out there, which is kind of his style and how
21:27
Speaker 1: it works. So there, there's certainly is already pressure on Gardner,
21:31
Speaker 1: but um in this new offense, if he can get
21:34
Speaker 1: it out, if he can get it to some of
21:36
Speaker 1: these guys outside Bucky, it feels like they've got some
21:39
Speaker 1: playmakers if they could just get the ball in their
21:41
Speaker 1: hands out there. Yeah, I think the way that you
21:44
Speaker 1: described going to Minshew is the best way for him
21:46
Speaker 1: to play. He needs to be a Vegas card dealer.
21:49
Speaker 1: He has to distribute the ball to a ton of
21:51
Speaker 1: people stressed the defense horizontally before he attacks vertically. We
21:55
Speaker 1: know about DJH Shark. We're hopeful to tell them Iffort
21:59
Speaker 1: could be a guy they can control the middle of
22:01
Speaker 1: the field. Chris Thompson is a legitimate threat out of
22:03
Speaker 1: the backfield. How does Garnan mince you use the players
22:07
Speaker 1: that he has around him? I would like to see
22:10
Speaker 1: him use everybody because the more people that he can
22:12
Speaker 1: get involved and get involved in the game early, the
22:15
Speaker 1: more the defense has to spread. And that gives your playmakers.
22:19
Speaker 1: You're number one guys, DJ Chark, Ifort Thompson gives the
22:23
Speaker 1: opportunities to have work because they'll face one on one coverage.
22:28
Speaker 1: We all know John about Chart and he spoke today
22:30
Speaker 1: as well. But you know, there's there's the rest of
22:33
Speaker 1: this wide receiver room that we've talked about all camp
22:35
Speaker 1: is one of the deepest position groups on this team.
22:40
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got guys who've been around for a
22:41
Speaker 1: little bit, and Conley and and Keelan Cole who's still around.
22:45
Speaker 1: Deeed Westbrook is actually down the depth chart a little bit, John,
22:48
Speaker 1: But that kind of tells you how deep this group is.
22:50
Speaker 1: It seems like it is, And I think that's another
22:54
Speaker 1: spot where maybe national people who really think the Jaguars
22:59
Speaker 1: and me number thirty two and all that stuff, and
23:00
Speaker 1: I get why they think that, But the receivers, when
23:04
Speaker 1: you look at him nationally, all there is is Chart,
23:08
Speaker 1: meaning you look at it, you know, he made the
23:09
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, and when you look at the other guys,
23:12
Speaker 1: Chris Conley very good, but probably not spectacular. And they
23:15
Speaker 1: don't know yet about Chenalta Johnson um, I'm really curious
23:20
Speaker 1: to see this weekend how they use Chenal. It's funny, JP,
23:24
Speaker 1: you were a training camp practice for the first week
23:26
Speaker 1: and a half. It's all we talked about was Chenal
23:29
Speaker 1: and then didn't really talk about him a whole lot,
23:32
Speaker 1: and it's almost like he's been forgotten a little bit
23:35
Speaker 1: among like Jaguars Twitter or everything. How he played. If
23:40
Speaker 1: he can be an impact guy immediately, which I think
23:42
Speaker 1: it's tough to do as a wide receiver, but that's
23:45
Speaker 1: a little bit of an element there that I don't
23:48
Speaker 1: think people are factoring into. Maybe it makes the Jaguars
23:51
Speaker 1: offense better this year. DJ Chark talked about a lot.
23:54
Speaker 1: DJ expects to be doubled and framed and you know,
23:57
Speaker 1: I mean bracketed, he said today. That's where he's told
24:01
Speaker 1: Channalt that's when you've got to shine. That's your opportunity.
24:05
Speaker 1: If those two can help each other and Efford steps
24:09
Speaker 1: in all of a sudden, you've got some weapons, frankly,
24:11
Speaker 1: a lot better than the Jaguars have had at those
24:13
Speaker 1: spots in a long time. That makes it interesting moving
24:16
Speaker 1: into this weekend. Now, that's tough, Bucky for, especially a
24:20
Speaker 1: wide receiver to jump in right away and and make
24:23
Speaker 1: We saw Chark having some issues with that as a rookie.
24:26
Speaker 1: He's a great special teams player, but had some drop
24:29
Speaker 1: issues early in his career and then obviously the second
24:32
Speaker 1: year I really took off. Sometimes it just takes a
24:34
Speaker 1: little time in this league, especially of that position. Yeah,
24:38
Speaker 1: it can't take a little bit of time for for
24:39
Speaker 1: wide receivers. And part of that is because they all
24:42
Speaker 1: are coming into the National Football League out of the
24:44
Speaker 1: spread offense. And when you think about the spread offense,
24:47
Speaker 1: it's not just a roust that they were asked to run.
24:49
Speaker 1: But some of these guys have never heard plays verbally
24:52
Speaker 1: given to them. They're so used to look at the
24:54
Speaker 1: sideline and read the signs and the placards or whatever
24:58
Speaker 1: signals the coach he's given that it takes them a
25:01
Speaker 1: while to really acclimate to the NFL and the way
25:05
Speaker 1: that you play. Now that said, d Jhark is a veteran,
25:09
Speaker 1: young veteran. Uh, you have Chris Connelly who's a young veteran.
25:12
Speaker 1: If China can give them anything, and I think Hopefully
25:16
Speaker 1: Jake Bruten has this a handful of plays to just
25:19
Speaker 1: get Shin off the ball, allow him to make a
25:22
Speaker 1: play as he's young and still figuring it out. His
25:24
Speaker 1: athleticism and his run after cat skills pop off the
25:28
Speaker 1: tape when you look at him at Colorado. They just
25:31
Speaker 1: have to find a way to put the ball in
25:33
Speaker 1: his hands and let him get out the way and
25:35
Speaker 1: let him do what he does. Yeah, I wonder how
25:37
Speaker 1: much is too much though, And we haven't really had
25:40
Speaker 1: a chance to visit with the Visca that much because
25:42
Speaker 1: of the virtual nature of things now. But you know,
25:45
Speaker 1: how much do you want to over You don't want
25:47
Speaker 1: to overload his plate, right Blackie early in his career.
25:50
Speaker 1: I mean, at some point you gotta open it up
25:53
Speaker 1: and do a bunch of different things with him. But
25:55
Speaker 1: I guess the question is how much can he handle? Early? Well,
25:59
Speaker 1: I think the easiest way to get him going is
26:02
Speaker 1: assumed that he can't handle the entire playbook. Man put
26:05
Speaker 1: eight to ten plays on the side of the game
26:07
Speaker 1: sheet that are just designed to get the ball to channel.
26:11
Speaker 1: Because he has been able to do a bunch of
26:13
Speaker 1: different things throughout his collegiate career, quarterback sweeps, bubble screens
26:18
Speaker 1: and those things. Those are easy things to get him
26:22
Speaker 1: the ball in space and allow his natural talent to
26:25
Speaker 1: take over. So if he's not quite ready to be
26:28
Speaker 1: the full time guy, have a handful of plays, a
26:31
Speaker 1: little small menu that allows him to get on the
26:34
Speaker 1: field and make contributions while he's learning how to play
26:37
Speaker 1: the position. Excited to see it, will see if they
26:41
Speaker 1: can translate here in the in the national football Let's
26:44
Speaker 1: touch on this Colts defense, and it's a group. I
26:48
Speaker 1: mean they went out and and paid the gotten divorce Buckner,
26:53
Speaker 1: spent some draft equity to get him. Obviously, Derrik S.
26:56
Speaker 1: Leonard is there. They have a good secondary. This is
26:59
Speaker 1: a pretty formidable defense. To using the word formidable again. Um,
27:05
Speaker 1: it's a group that they felt like they were pretty
27:08
Speaker 1: darn close. So they went out, Bucky and got the
27:10
Speaker 1: Forest Buckner in there and spent a lot of equity
27:12
Speaker 1: to do it. Yeah, I spent a lot of equity
27:15
Speaker 1: in there. But J P. John, the most important positions
27:18
Speaker 1: on your defense are the guys who can get after
27:22
Speaker 1: the pastor on the inside and the outside. Where they
27:24
Speaker 1: have Justin Houston on the outside, and now they've given
27:27
Speaker 1: the Forest buckner on the inside, a guy who can
27:30
Speaker 1: disrupt it at the point of attack. That is critical.
27:33
Speaker 1: The other thing that they have to be able to
27:35
Speaker 1: do they need better coverage. Matt Eberflus, the defensive coordinator. Look,
27:39
Speaker 1: he's a Rod Mary Nelly Levy Smith desciple. They want
27:42
Speaker 1: to play some Tampa two, some man to man. But
27:45
Speaker 1: if they can dictate the terms of taking cover with
27:47
Speaker 1: man to man, they'll live in it all day. But
27:50
Speaker 1: do they have enough? Xavier Rose was a signing that
27:53
Speaker 1: we're still waiting to see how that works. You have,
27:55
Speaker 1: Xavier wrote, rock you see candid Jaguars take advantage of
27:59
Speaker 1: those guys on the island. Yeah, if you can get
28:03
Speaker 1: the ball out there, maybe they have an advantage there. John,
28:06
Speaker 1: you know, you got a guy like Darius Leonard running around.
28:09
Speaker 1: Um we know his story, small school guy who was
28:12
Speaker 1: first team All Pro, and um, that's a guy who
28:16
Speaker 1: gotta follow all day long because he's gonna be everywhere.
28:18
Speaker 1: It seems like, yeah, they're little like the Jaguars in
28:22
Speaker 1: the sense that they believe they have a top five linebacker. Four.
28:26
Speaker 1: They believe they're a very good linebacker, and with the
28:29
Speaker 1: forest buckner, they feel like they can stop the run,
28:32
Speaker 1: disrupt just in Houston, and then they're not so sure
28:34
Speaker 1: about their secondary. It's a young secondary with Malik Hooker.
28:40
Speaker 1: Uh four year guy but has been hurt a little bit.
28:42
Speaker 1: He's still very young. Um. You know. Again, the Jaguars
28:46
Speaker 1: need to be able to run to get themselves into
28:49
Speaker 1: positions where they can take advantage of you know, I
28:52
Speaker 1: don't want to say taking Aari is the Colts weakness,
28:55
Speaker 1: but he's probably not their strength. So they need to
28:57
Speaker 1: be able to give Minshew some time to take advantage
28:59
Speaker 1: of some matchups. And getting back to Chenal, I think
29:03
Speaker 1: that is where they will try to do things against
29:06
Speaker 1: that could defense. Going way back to the draft, Keen
29:09
Speaker 1: and Macarthell was specific on you know on Chenal saying, hey,
29:13
Speaker 1: even when he can't know the players, would be a
29:16
Speaker 1: great route runner. Yet he has playmaking ability. So I'd
29:19
Speaker 1: be surprised if they don't try to do something with
29:21
Speaker 1: China against the Colt secondary. That it's something that they
29:26
Speaker 1: should be able to attack provided they can get in
29:28
Speaker 1: the right situation. Sounds like fun to me. We'll see
29:32
Speaker 1: if the Jags offense could take advantage. We'll come back.
29:34
Speaker 1: John will be back with you and just a little
29:37
Speaker 1: bit for big game Jaguar. I know you're looking forward
29:40
Speaker 1: to that, so get your entry ready for that game

Speaker 1: home studio out in California, and it is time to
31:57
Speaker 1: hear from the head equipment manager Are and friend Jimmy
32:00
Speaker 1: Luck joins us again on Wednesdays. This year, he's at
32:02
Speaker 1: t I a bank field. Jimmy, what's up man, Just
32:07
Speaker 1: hanging in there, getting through it, getting ready for a week.
32:09
Speaker 1: One didn't didn't really think back in May. Maybe I know,
32:15
Speaker 1: all right, It's funny how it works. All of a sudden,
32:17
Speaker 1: here we are. You're gonna throw all the equipment out
32:20
Speaker 1: there on Sunday and play some football. It's been I'm
32:23
Speaker 1: sure training camp with all the protocols and everything, Jimmy
32:26
Speaker 1: has to be unlike anything you've ever seen before. Yeah,
32:31
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely been a challenge, but you know, everybody's
32:34
Speaker 1: chipped in. Everybody's doing their part, the medical staff, video
32:37
Speaker 1: guys setting up virtual meetings, us doing more cleaning and stuff. Like,
32:42
Speaker 1: everybody's done done their part, and it's really been a
32:45
Speaker 1: true team effort. And uh, I can't thank everybody enough for,
32:48
Speaker 1: you know, pitching in and trying to get this thing going.
32:51
Speaker 1: You know, it's while we're all here and hopefully we
32:53
Speaker 1: can get the whole thing in. You know, Jimmy, when
32:58
Speaker 1: you think about the game day operation, because we haven't
33:01
Speaker 1: seen you haven't had a real trial run in the preseason.
33:04
Speaker 1: How much different will it be for you guys in
33:07
Speaker 1: terms of you and all your assistance running around make
33:09
Speaker 1: sure that the players and everybody have what they need
33:12
Speaker 1: with the protocols that are in place to keep everyone healthy.
33:16
Speaker 1: It's uh, it is a little bit nerve racking not
33:19
Speaker 1: having had those kind of dress rehearsals so far. That
33:22
Speaker 1: always makes you feel a little bit better when you
33:24
Speaker 1: know you get a home and a road under your
33:25
Speaker 1: belt and you know now that everything's for real. We
33:29
Speaker 1: really hadn't had that. Even though you know, you go
33:31
Speaker 1: out and you communicate to the players, hey, what do
33:33
Speaker 1: you want to wear on game day? It's all of
33:35
Speaker 1: a sudden it's game day, and you know, their minds
33:37
Speaker 1: in a totally different place, and we just try to
33:39
Speaker 1: stay out of their way and get them on the
33:41
Speaker 1: field and get them going. So um, you know, whether
33:44
Speaker 1: that's you know, trying to work through it or last
33:47
Speaker 1: minute putting something together. So but you know, we'll get
33:49
Speaker 1: it done. Jimmy Luck with US, head equipment manager for
33:53
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars, one of the at least early in
33:56
Speaker 1: training camp. I know a few guys we're trying out
33:59
Speaker 1: the new visors, well not the visor but the face
34:02
Speaker 1: shield underneath the visor. UM. How many guys are still
34:06
Speaker 1: having that? I know there was a new addition this
34:08
Speaker 1: year that I think Oakley created it. And how has
34:11
Speaker 1: that gone? How many players do you think on game
34:13
Speaker 1: they might wear that? Well, the guys that have tried
34:18
Speaker 1: and have kind of liked it. Um, It's definitely a
34:21
Speaker 1: different kind of thing, especially down here in the heat. UM.
34:25
Speaker 1: You know, it's designed to be warned with the visor
34:27
Speaker 1: and the and the mouth shield as as a complete unit. UM.
34:31
Speaker 1: But with the heat, you know, guys sometimes get a
34:34
Speaker 1: little leary on that. So we won't see a lot
34:37
Speaker 1: of those guys, but we'll probably have a handful four
34:39
Speaker 1: or five. UM. We may have some guys start out
34:42
Speaker 1: with him and then take it off during the game. UM.
34:45
Speaker 1: But again it's just one of those fields. It's it's
34:47
Speaker 1: something new. Guys have tried it. It has been pretty hot,
34:50
Speaker 1: so people hadn't been real excited about it. UM. But
34:54
Speaker 1: they also have the option of wearing like, uh, like
34:56
Speaker 1: some little masks that we have UM. New Air has
35:00
Speaker 1: provided for us, and we've got some neckgators that guys
35:02
Speaker 1: will wear. UM. Pretty much every every staff and coach
35:06
Speaker 1: will have something on and then the players kind of
35:09
Speaker 1: have that option whatever makes them feel most comfortable. You know, Jimmy,
35:14
Speaker 1: is funny that you brought up the neck gators and
35:17
Speaker 1: the match because not from a players standpoint, but coaches,
35:21
Speaker 1: so much of what they do is communicating. How are
35:23
Speaker 1: they adjusting to having their face covered up and uh
35:27
Speaker 1: that stuff when they're trying to communicate and talk to
35:29
Speaker 1: their players. It has definitely been a little bit of
35:33
Speaker 1: a challenge. Um, you know, guys have it on. It
35:35
Speaker 1: sounds a little bit muffled. Uh. It's amazing too, how
35:38
Speaker 1: much you realize that even though you hear them, how
35:40
Speaker 1: you kind of read lips. Um. So we've actually got
35:43
Speaker 1: some face shields too that you can like hook to
35:45
Speaker 1: your hat and it kind of comes over. Um, you know,
35:48
Speaker 1: I don't again, that's those are a little hotter because
35:51
Speaker 1: everything is kind of kept in here and you know,
35:53
Speaker 1: you're breathing in and out and keeps it there. But
35:55
Speaker 1: we've got options for everybody. Um, you know, it's just
35:59
Speaker 1: it's just one of those things you kind of learned
36:00
Speaker 1: to get used to. Um, you know. Uh, Coach the
36:04
Speaker 1: Diacon Millis he has kind of tried those out. He
36:07
Speaker 1: might try it this weekend. I don't know. Kind of
36:09
Speaker 1: depends on the heat. But he's a yeller and screamer,
36:11
Speaker 1: so you kind of got a block in his stuff.
36:15
Speaker 1: We all, we all know how fiery heat could get. Right.
36:18
Speaker 1: You can hear him with or without the mask, and yeah,
36:21
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you. I didn't realize how hard
36:23
Speaker 1: of hearing I was until the pandemic came along. Here
36:26
Speaker 1: with all the masks. Um, all right, now it's time, Bucky.
36:30
Speaker 1: I know you're you're new this year with us, and
36:32
Speaker 1: we're glad you're here. So this is the segment every
36:35
Speaker 1: week where Jimmy Luck unveils what the Jaguars will wear
36:39
Speaker 1: this coming Sunday. And so, Jimmy, if you would please,
36:42
Speaker 1: what will the Jaguars wear on kickoff weekend against the
36:45
Speaker 1: Indianapolis called? All right, so we're gonna go with letna
36:49
Speaker 1: dig it out about here. So we got the white pants,
36:53
Speaker 1: oh lean, hey up there, white pants, and then we
36:58
Speaker 1: will go with the white jerseys with the captain there.
37:07
Speaker 1: So so we got that he's got the one star
37:10
Speaker 1: and he's a captain now, um, so everybody can we'll
37:13
Speaker 1: see those and with it being a little warmer early
37:16
Speaker 1: on in the year, we we do wear the white
37:17
Speaker 1: uniforms a little bit more often, and then, uh, there
37:20
Speaker 1: might be surprises, some surprises coming down the road. Oh,
37:24
Speaker 1: really gonna keep everybody. It kind of got out earlier
37:29
Speaker 1: that everybody we were wearing all white, so I got
37:31
Speaker 1: to try to keep a few things close to the vest. Well,
37:35
Speaker 1: we'll have the exclusive announcement Bucky every week right here
37:39
Speaker 1: in this show moving forward, and apparently Zone dot on
37:45
Speaker 1: here with me. Um. I didn't realize he wrote a book,
37:48
Speaker 1: you know. That's interesting. I didn't even know he could read,
37:50
Speaker 1: but let alone write a book that the shelves back there.
37:54
Speaker 1: That's that's amazing. But I'm gonna have to maybe get
37:56
Speaker 1: on a private zoom call later with him, or a
37:59
Speaker 1: team's call and talk through some of that. I'm sure
38:02
Speaker 1: you might get a call from him. Him and Briscol

41:17
Speaker 1: Bucky that Jimmy Luck just dropped the hammer on John
41:20
Speaker 1: at the end of that last segment. Yes, he absolutely did.
41:24
Speaker 1: I didn't know Jimmy was gonna I mean, let's just
41:28
Speaker 1: get that out of there. Books, all these books have
41:33
Speaker 1: been facing forever. We got a dictionary for goodness, say, Dictionary,
41:37
Speaker 1: forget about that. I'm gonna talk to what tomorrow. Yeah,
41:43
Speaker 1: that's that's MC night's jeez. I love it, though I
41:50
Speaker 1: love the passion at least, um, we'll see this could
41:53
Speaker 1: be an ongoing feud. This might have been, This might
41:56
Speaker 1: have been. Might just planted the seed Bucky for the
41:58
Speaker 1: rest of the season with these to Um, let's get
42:01
Speaker 1: to a new game. We're gonna play every Wednesday or
42:05
Speaker 1: whenever I guess we feel like it. But we're gonna
42:07
Speaker 1: start today and this is a working title, but I'm
42:11
Speaker 1: calling it Big Game Jaguars, and we're going to pick
42:15
Speaker 1: our player to have a big game for the Jaguars.
42:18
Speaker 1: Very original, Bucky, get us going, how you got Okay,
42:22
Speaker 1: We've talked about it. They have to do Jaguars have
42:24
Speaker 1: to stop the run. So Joe Schobert is my guy.
42:28
Speaker 1: You look, He's a guy that can control the tackle,
42:30
Speaker 1: tackle box. His ability to play mike linebackers allows Miles
42:34
Speaker 1: Jack to move over to his natural position. So not
42:37
Speaker 1: only as a communicator and the tackler, but his presence
42:40
Speaker 1: should allow other players to play at their best. I
42:43
Speaker 1: need Joe Schobert had a big game this week against
42:45
Speaker 1: the Coast. Yeah, John, it's he. He came in in
42:49
Speaker 1: free agency. He played four years in Cleveland, has a
42:52
Speaker 1: bunch of tackles, by the way in that time, I
42:54
Speaker 1: think fourth or fifth most in the league in the
42:56
Speaker 1: last few years. So uh, he has experience in this league.
43:00
Speaker 1: And you know, we just it's unfortunate. The same conversation
43:03
Speaker 1: comes back up. We haven't been able to see it
43:05
Speaker 1: a lot in the off season, so I think people
43:08
Speaker 1: are people are anticipating what this is going to look
43:11
Speaker 1: like with shober John. Well, one theme we have hit
43:15
Speaker 1: on a lot. Anybody's talked about the Jags off season,
43:18
Speaker 1: Schobert coming in is a solidifying present, and then Miles
43:24
Speaker 1: moving to the outside is a second solidifying present because
43:28
Speaker 1: last year a lot of Miles as mistakes. Everybody's written
43:32
Speaker 1: the guy off that he can't play anymore. A lot
43:34
Speaker 1: of his mistake were because he was trying to cover
43:36
Speaker 1: up for inexperience around him. If you solidify two positions
43:40
Speaker 1: where there's fewer mistakes like that, fewer breakout plays. You know,
43:44
Speaker 1: I'm not taking anything away from Schobert's tackling ability, he's
43:47
Speaker 1: ability in coverage to get those things right. But if
43:50
Speaker 1: you just reduce the number of breakdowns on the middle
43:55
Speaker 1: level of the defense, you can cut out a lot
43:58
Speaker 1: of those breakout runs and again give up a first
44:00
Speaker 1: down on a breakout run and not give up a touchdown,
44:03
Speaker 1: keep yourself alive defensively. That can make a huge difference
44:09
Speaker 1: in a league where a lot of games are decided
44:11
Speaker 1: by one or two possessions. Yeah, so that you have
44:15
Speaker 1: a Joe Schulbert for Bucky this week, Johnny all what
44:19
Speaker 1: you got for us Sunday with kind of obvious when
44:23
Speaker 1: I steered clear of offense because I think the Office
44:26
Speaker 1: is gonna play well. I mean Gardner, missus, the guy
44:28
Speaker 1: I said a big game obviously, but Josh Allen. What
44:31
Speaker 1: I want to see from Josh It's not necessarily about
44:34
Speaker 1: him winning a specific matchup. I want to see him
44:37
Speaker 1: getting up and walking away from Philip Rivers on the
44:40
Speaker 1: ground and not having Philip. I love Philip Rivers, but
44:44
Speaker 1: I don't want to see Philip Rivers with all his
44:45
Speaker 1: you know, talking smack and you all that. Get Josh
44:50
Speaker 1: Allen in his kitchen, get him rushing him and make
44:52
Speaker 1: him fumble. Josh Allen, to me, is the foundation piece
44:56
Speaker 1: in the future of the franchise. He's the best top
44:59
Speaker 1: ten because franchise has had probably in two decades. Let
45:03
Speaker 1: him start being the superstar that he is. Have him
45:07
Speaker 1: beyond Sports Center. I want him talking to whoever is
45:11
Speaker 1: doing live shot nationally, talking to players. He needs to
45:15
Speaker 1: be the star on Sunday. Yeah, and we know Blucky
45:19
Speaker 1: what happens when it's It's tough to get into Philip
45:23
Speaker 1: Rivers head um because he is one of the all
45:27
Speaker 1: time classic smack talkers. He is one of the all
45:31
Speaker 1: time great smack talkers. But what you can do is
45:33
Speaker 1: you can change and disrupt his rhythm. Uh, the Jaguars
45:37
Speaker 1: need to disrupt the rhythm in the time of this
45:40
Speaker 1: passing game, and we know this Philip rivers will turn
45:43
Speaker 1: the ball over, and the best way to force him
45:45
Speaker 1: into some of those bone head turnovers pressure. You have
45:49
Speaker 1: to get pressure on him consistently. But for us to
45:51
Speaker 1: do it, it's gonna take stopping the run and putting
45:54
Speaker 1: him in obvious passing down. So it's a collective effort,
45:57
Speaker 1: but Josh Allen does need to be a big part
45:59
Speaker 1: of that effort. Yeah, So there you have it. Josh
46:02
Speaker 1: Allen for John Osier this week, Schobert for Bucky. I'm
46:07
Speaker 1: gonna go with the undrafted rookie James Robinson at running back.
46:12
Speaker 1: He's the first on the depth chart and they've been
46:15
Speaker 1: talking him up obviously all week long so far. A
46:18
Speaker 1: lot of the camp as well, Chris Thompson has said
46:20
Speaker 1: he's got the best vision of the running back room. Well,
46:24
Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean, he had over yards rushing in
46:27
Speaker 1: his career in college, small school Illinois State. But we'll
46:31
Speaker 1: see if he can come out with the lights come
46:33
Speaker 1: on and and really step in and play. Because, yeah,
46:36
Speaker 1: they want to throw the ball, I think a little
46:38
Speaker 1: bit more than they have in the past, but you
46:39
Speaker 1: still have to run the football, Bucky to be effective
46:43
Speaker 1: in this league, and James Robinson is gonna be a
46:45
Speaker 1: big key. So I'm going with the with the young
46:48
Speaker 1: and back there at running back, Bucky. Yeah, Look, hopefully
46:53
Speaker 1: he is ready for he can take off the nerves
46:55
Speaker 1: very very early. It's gonna be a big change for
46:57
Speaker 1: him because he is now going from being a small
46:59
Speaker 1: school player to now being on to big stage, playing
47:02
Speaker 1: his first NFL game and playing as a starter. So
47:05
Speaker 1: if he can settle in and how quickly he settles in,
47:07
Speaker 1: that is going to be the key. We would like
47:09
Speaker 1: to see him have a hundred yard game, but if not,
47:12
Speaker 1: just know Chris Thompson is in the bullepin. They could
47:16
Speaker 1: share the duties until he's comfortable and ready to really
47:19
Speaker 1: take it over. Yeah, I think we'll see a bunch
47:23
Speaker 1: of those guys out there on a Sunday. We'll see
47:26
Speaker 1: what happens. Obviously the rest of the week with a
47:27
Speaker 1: zig bow will follow that injury report development that came
47:31
Speaker 1: up today and see what the status is Thursday and Friday.
47:35
Speaker 1: There you have it and big game Jaguar. Is that
47:38
Speaker 1: name gonna stick? Bucky? What do you think? No? Does it?
47:41
Speaker 1: I mean, why not. Why not big game Jaguar. They
47:43
Speaker 1: just keep it simple. We talked about reduced the amount
47:46
Speaker 1: of errors on defense. Well, that is one way to
47:48
Speaker 1: reduce the errors. We're talking about Big game Jaguar with
47:51
Speaker 1: Jaguar is gonna have the big game. Keep it simple, simple,
47:56
Speaker 1: and that way we're not as wrong as we be otherwise.
48:02
Speaker 1: Let's finish with a look around in the league. And
48:05
Speaker 1: a former Jaguar got paid today. The Brinks truck arrived
48:09
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles for Jalen Ramsey five years, a hundred
48:13
Speaker 1: five million dollar extension averaging twenty one million a year. John,
48:18
Speaker 1: Let's just hope his back stays healthy. Yeah, good things
48:22
Speaker 1: happen to good people, JP, So let's just hope. I
48:25
Speaker 1: just hope his backstays good. And uh yeah, best wishes
48:29
Speaker 1: to two. Uh look, man, it's a big deal. The
48:34
Speaker 1: Rams had gave up a lot to get them, so
48:36
Speaker 1: you knew they had the fan and void did they
48:38
Speaker 1: fami We saw with to Davids White sound the deal.
48:41
Speaker 1: We knew Jaalen was gonna come in at a big number,
48:42
Speaker 1: and he did earlier clowning to the Titans. They were
48:49
Speaker 1: talking about a sign and trade with the Jaguars involved
48:52
Speaker 1: with that one going to the Ravens, but he ends
48:54
Speaker 1: up in Tennessee and of course Watson signs the extension
48:57
Speaker 1: with the Texans. Two big deals in the division off you, Yeah,
49:01
Speaker 1: two very big deals, did you debating? Clowney deal gives
49:05
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans another bully to add to the mix.
49:08
Speaker 1: This is a team that really wants to beat people up.
49:11
Speaker 1: He does that. I don't think he's an a level
49:13
Speaker 1: pass rusher, but he's certainly disruptive. And then with the
49:16
Speaker 1: quarterback Deshaun Watson signed a mega deal, it just ensures
49:19
Speaker 1: that this division is going to remain very competitive with
49:23
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks that you have in it. Deshaun Watson is
49:26
Speaker 1: maybe at the top of the list. Yeah, John, it's
49:31
Speaker 1: a big one down and he was. You get the
49:32
Speaker 1: quarterback locked in and and he's there for a little while.
49:35
Speaker 1: It was not as long of a deal as the
49:37
Speaker 1: miss Mahomes in Kansas City, but still very important to
49:41
Speaker 1: to lock that guy up in Houston. What we what's
49:44
Speaker 1: critical and this is a big year for him to
49:46
Speaker 1: show what he can do without Hopkins there, he's clearly
49:49
Speaker 1: the franchise. I've been writing all week for a couple
49:52
Speaker 1: of weeks that to me, the Texans are always the
49:55
Speaker 1: strangely overlooked team. Every year people think they won't win
49:59
Speaker 1: the division, and they've wont it four out of the
50:01
Speaker 1: last five years. Shaun Watson is supposed to be the
50:04
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the division. To me, they're the favorites
50:07
Speaker 1: until they're not. But he has to now show, Okay,
50:11
Speaker 1: I'm the franchise guy. No matter what's around me, you
50:14
Speaker 1: can build around me. And the early in his career
50:18
Speaker 1: they've they've had some offensive line issues there. They've got
50:20
Speaker 1: tonsil in there now maybe that helps keep him upright
50:23
Speaker 1: and maybe not having to run around as much as
50:25
Speaker 1: he has earlier in his career. Horrible news out of Denver,
50:30
Speaker 1: not just for the Broncos, but I think for the
50:32
Speaker 1: for the entire league with von Miller injuring an ankle
50:36
Speaker 1: tend on the final snap of yesterday's practice, likely ending
50:39
Speaker 1: his season. This guy is a face of the National
50:42
Speaker 1: Football League, Bucky and and to have him go down
50:45
Speaker 1: days before the opener is just a really a tragedy
50:49
Speaker 1: for the league. Yeah, it's a tragedy for the league.
50:52
Speaker 1: I mean, this is one of the best players, one
50:53
Speaker 1: of the best pure pass uses that we've seen uh
50:56
Speaker 1: in this decade, and he's been a dominant player for
50:58
Speaker 1: most of his career. I think the bigger thing every coach,
51:01
Speaker 1: every front office took notice this is the fear that
51:03
Speaker 1: every team has heading into the first week of the season.
51:07
Speaker 1: Can we keep our gas healthy getting into the regular season?
51:10
Speaker 1: We will past such an abbreviated training camp. John. He
51:15
Speaker 1: has so much impact on young pass rushers in the league.
51:18
Speaker 1: We've seen that first handle and we're going after them.
51:20
Speaker 1: Of course, Josh Allen spent time with him with the
51:22
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl last year. Yeah, and he's I've never actually
51:27
Speaker 1: talked because I don't know him, but everything you see
51:30
Speaker 1: is that he's a fantastic you know, leader faces the league, etcetera, etcetera.
51:35
Speaker 1: You never want to see a guy get hurt. And
51:37
Speaker 1: it also shows what Bucky just said. No matter how
51:41
Speaker 1: you approach training camp practice, no matter how like to
51:45
Speaker 1: keep it, it is a sport where big strong men
51:50
Speaker 1: are moving very fast all the time, injuries are gonna happen.
51:56
Speaker 1: The Cardinals have doled out some money to ever DeAndre
52:00
Speaker 1: Hopkins a new five year deal. He negotiated this deal himself.
52:04
Speaker 1: By the way um a two year, fifty four and
52:08
Speaker 1: a half million dollar extension with twenty seven million dollars
52:12
Speaker 1: of new money. Uh. Some other reports have it five
52:15
Speaker 1: year deal, ninety four million dollar contract with an eighteen
52:19
Speaker 1: million average. Either way, lucky um. First off, he got
52:23
Speaker 1: paid great. Second, he did it himself. He negotiated the
52:27
Speaker 1: thing himself, which is remarkable. It is remarkable. It's even
52:31
Speaker 1: more remarkable. DeAndre Hopkins said he wanted to take on
52:33
Speaker 1: the challenge of negotiating the deal himself because he has
52:36
Speaker 1: aspirations of being an NFL general manager. So we'll see
52:40
Speaker 1: how this works out. But we are seeing more and
52:42
Speaker 1: more players kind of take ownership of the negotiating process.
52:47
Speaker 1: Hass off to DeAndre Hopkins for taking on the challenge
52:50
Speaker 1: and trying to set himself up for a second career.
52:53
Speaker 1: Great player, obviously, John, But yeah, you don't see that often. John,
52:57
Speaker 1: the guy really kind of takes over his own agotiation.
53:00
Speaker 1: A lot of times if they do, it doesn't go
53:02
Speaker 1: that well. But this one seems to know because you
53:05
Speaker 1: can save the agent fee. And school of thought, Okay,
53:10
Speaker 1: if I lose a million in negotiation and make it
53:12
Speaker 1: up with the agent fee, So yeah, more power to Yeah,
53:17
Speaker 1: so a lot of places obviously have state tax involved,
53:19
Speaker 1: and then you have the agent fee on top of that.
53:21
Speaker 1: That's it's a lot of money. Go it out the window.
53:24
Speaker 1: That'll do it for our look around the National Football
53:27
Speaker 1: League today, and Hey, the Jags and the Colts coming
53:30
Speaker 1: up Sunday, Bucky, what's your gut on this game? What?
53:34
Speaker 1: What kind of I don't I'm gonna tell you to
53:36
Speaker 1: predict the game, but what kind of a game are
53:39
Speaker 1: you expecting to wrap us up? I'm expecting it to
53:43
Speaker 1: be a little sloppy at the beginning, but I'm expecting, uh,
53:47
Speaker 1: a physical affair. And I actually think that this is
53:50
Speaker 1: a game that kind of plays into the Jaguars hands
53:53
Speaker 1: because you haven't had any film on Jay Grudened that offense.
53:56
Speaker 1: We really don't know how the piece of the polls
53:58
Speaker 1: a fit on defense. I think the Jaguar will make
54:00
Speaker 1: this a very competitive game, more than anybody would expect
54:03
Speaker 1: based on what we've been seeing with six team Brookies
54:06
Speaker 1: on the roster. Yeah, Johnny, Oh, I'll ask you the
54:10
Speaker 1: same thing. That's um, you know, it's a tough one
54:14
Speaker 1: because we haven't seen either one of these teams in
54:17
Speaker 1: the preseason. Yeah, I agreed. I have a tough time
54:20
Speaker 1: picking the Jags in this game, just because they're so
54:23
Speaker 1: young and the Colts I think are going to be
54:26
Speaker 1: good with rivers. I could see the Jaguars struggling early
54:29
Speaker 1: because of of the youth, the Colts getting a little
54:33
Speaker 1: bit of a lead. I've picked it a couple of times.
54:35
Speaker 1: It's like thirty five thirty one type score with a goal.
54:38
Speaker 1: I think the Jags will be down a little bit,
54:41
Speaker 1: But I like what Doug and a lot of the
54:43
Speaker 1: players I've talked to said about the adversity. They believe
54:46
Speaker 1: this team is going to be strong under adversity. I
54:49
Speaker 1: think the Jaguars come back, give themselves a chance, and
54:52
Speaker 1: maybe again because of that little lack of experience, fall
54:55
Speaker 1: a bit short. But I think you'll feel good, especially
54:58
Speaker 1: on offense, about this team after the game. Yeah, it
55:01
Speaker 1: could be a type football game. Curious to see if
55:04
Speaker 1: it's a running type game. As we mentioned, the Colts
55:07
Speaker 1: want to do that. They have Philip who's seven and
55:09
Speaker 1: two against the Jags all time in his career, with
55:12
Speaker 1: some great numbers passing as well. But we'll see if
55:15
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have that grit to hang around and let's
55:19
Speaker 1: just get it onto the second half and in the
55:21
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and I think it's a close ball game
55:23
Speaker 1: at the end, with maybe the last possession to deciding
55:26
Speaker 1: this thing. In the high twenties, early early thirties. For me,
55:29
Speaker 1: I think that's the where the score ends up. That'll
55:33
Speaker 1: do it. For Jack's happy, our Bucky, well done again.
55:35
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you again on the post game. You're
55:38
Speaker 1: gonna be on the with us. Yes year, it's taking
55:41
Speaker 1: phone calls. How about that? That should be a lot
55:45
Speaker 1: of fun. Johnny O. We'll talk to you a little
55:50
Speaker 1: later in the week. For John Ozier, Bucky Brooks, I'm
