JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS 2025 SEASON PREVIEW/ROSTER EVALUATION & RECORD PREDICTION!
[Music] What the razor Heat. Heat. [Music] All right, we back, man, with the Jacksonville. Ville Jaguars. Um Raphael last year for Jacksonville. Ruffier man. Um finishing four and 13. Um of course uh their quarterback Trevor Lawrence, you know, much has been talked about. Um and and and we’ll see uh if he has a bounceback year um in in Jacksonville. Uh but they’re only projected to win seven and a half games um strict for schedule ranking 24th. So not a gauntlet for the Jaguars, but they themselves have struggled in recent years and you know had a made a big move in the draft. We gonna talk about that. you know, made some moves in free agency, but um yeah, man. What What do you think, man? Um about this Jacksonville Jaguars team, man, before we get into the moves they made and and break down the roster and all that, man. Just what’s your overall thoughts about about what you seen in Jacksonville last year? I think this Jaguars team last year was a major major major disappointment. Mhm. Um, they were projected to be a whole lot better than what they were at 4 and3. Uh, they gave Trevor Lawrence his money. Uh, big money, like real big money. And Trevor Lawrence turned out to be a dud, man. Um, I think I think a lot of their struggles is because of his struggles. You put a lot on this kid’s plate. You brought him over there to be your Dan Marino or your Patrick Mahomes or whatever when you drafted him. Uh, I think he was one of the highest recruits to come to the NFL, generational as they call him, what he did out there in Clemson. And he hasn’t shown that Clemson pedigree in Jacksonville. And what is Jacksonville doing for that team since they let go of Tom Coughlin when he had those guys as Super Bowl contenders when he built that defense over there? And I think they allowed their players to control that. They got Tom Coughlin out of there and they’ve been down, down, down ever since. And they did get that playoff win against the Chargers in and I think the year prior, but it’s just something about this Trevor Lawrence kid, man, that I just think giving him that money might have been a huge mistake. And I just think if you’re still trying to make this team go through Trevor Lawrence, you’re not going to be anywhere as good as you want to be. I think they need to take a p a page out of the Chargers. Bring in a coach that can contain Trevor Lawrence and make him be basically a regular quarterback. You ain’t got to go out there and be Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, forced to win games. Let’s get the run game started and make sound and crisp and correct throws like Trevor Lawrence misses wide open receivers so much. And they got some talent over there at the receiver position, believe it or not. But it’s it’s with that guy in that pitcher, man. what is he gonna do in T law man um they did go out and get him a new coach um Liam Cohen um the uh offensive uh I believe he’s the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Bucks um last year um so um they they they did you know they did make a move in in in in that in the front office uh for Trevor Lawrence but coach our resident coach man what’s your thoughts on um go ahead and talk a little bit about Liam Liam Cohen and also what you seen last year um with the Jaguars and do you think Mr. Mr. Cohen may be the right man to turn Trevor Lewis around? I don’t know. He did some things over there with Temple Bay and and Baker Mayfield. Uh for me, he’s still someone you have to watch. I mean, he was OC for one year and got the head coaching job. So, that’s a kudos to him. That’s what every coach would love to do, you know, go from position coach to a coordinator and then head coach in a in a fast track. So, I’m not I’m not poo pooing his ascension, but you know, I would have loved to have seen him a little bit more as an OC, you know, another year or two before you get a head coaching job. But hey, that seems to be the the trend in the NFL, you know, trying to get to these young coordinators as quickly as possible. But, you know, from past experiences watching our favorite team with the the the Giants with Ben Mcadoo, is that always the right thing to do? You know, so it it’s it leaves me to wonder. Trevor Lawrence. Um, I think one of the biggest things is going to be his his his his maturation, but his ability to stay on the field. You know, the the past few years have has has been about injuries with him, you know, and, you know, not being out there. So, and that takes away from your ability to grow as a player. So, um, that’s what I’m going to be looking for, you know, with him this year. Um, and what do they do? I mean, the head coach, what type of system are you putting in? I mean, you know, everybody raved about him with with Tampa Bay. I mean, okay, kudos to him. He helped resurrect in a sense um Baker Mayfield’s career. So, can he do that with with Sun I mean, um, Trevor Lawrence. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I I just It always sticks to my hands. so shy from um remember the titans but you know but can he resurrect his career and get him headed in the right direction because they’re both tied together they’re both tied together and Trevor Lawrence of course um signed that fiveyear $275 million contract extension has not lived up to the uh bill so far. Um but we’ll see. Um all right, let’s take a look at um some of the players that the Jaguars uh lost here um this off season. Of course, uh we talked about uh Christian Kurt um being traded to the division right Texans um which doesn’t happen a lot in the NFL. Um Evan Ingram man who played a big part in their um offense um won’t be there as will not Gabe Davis um who has moved on um Josh Reynolds now a Jet and you know did lose some pieces um um on defense um led better um going to the Giants and then Ronald Darby uh retiring um apparently. So, um, but which one of these, uh, losses, if any, um, do you think is going to have the biggest impact on the Texas, uh, I mean the Texas, the Jaguars moving forward? I got a couple of people, uh, if you can bear with me. Uh, I think Deion Johnson is a a loss for them. I think Deion Johnson stepped up when, you know, Trevor ETN is going through his struggles. I think the loss of Christian Kirk is really going to hurt uh Trevor Lawrence because I think that that was his quick guy and that’s what Trevor Lawrence does best. Even though he has a a strong arm, his deep ball, he seems to always overthrow people. The loss of Evan Ingram and Luke Ferrell, both his tight ends is going to hurt. Uh he lost his best offensive lineman and Brandon Sheriff and Mitch Morse retiring hurts them as well. I think they lost their best run defender and Jeremiah led better coming over to the New York Giants. And I think Andre Cisco, uh, they lost a leader in that defense. Um, and Andre Cisco, he talks a lot of noise. He’s not that great, but he is a good player. I’ll give him that. And Ronald Darby retiring. I think he just got tired of getting his butt whoop. So, yeah, they they lost a couple of pieces, man. But I don’t know what you think, coach. Uh, I’m with you on uh Shref and and Morris. You know, you know me. Y’all y’all know me when I talk about the offense and defensive lines. I mean, that’s your foundational point to to any team, you know? So, when you lose key pieces there, how do you replace that? you know, and then like you said, Kirk and Evan Ingram, I mean, those are re, as much as Giants fans don’t like hearing it, but Evan Ingram became a reliable contributor to Jacksonville. They saw they used him the way the Giants did not use him when he was here. You could talk about the passes, but he became reliable. He really did. And Kurt, you know, what can you say? I mean, you we’ve seen what he his maturation, you know, through through the years. So, I’m with you, Pat. You know, on those key players, you know, what are you doing? Which goes into, you know, especially offensive line. I talked about uh CJ Strad straight rush right into a quarterback’s face. That’s right there in the middle of the quarterback’s face. So, what are you doing to replace that and hopefully improve there, you know, to help your quarterback grow, especially a quarterback who has been dealing with injuries for the past couple of years. Yeah, man. Um I I agree, man. Um people been sleeping on Evan Ingram, man. He he was he’s a good player, man. He was a good player with the Giants, and I think he’s going to be dynamite over there in Denver um in Shawn Payeyton system with um with Bo Knicks, man. But I’m with you guys, man. Those weapons that Trevor Launch um lost, you know, um is going to impact them. But new coach, new system, so we’ll see, man. Let’s see who they bought in um for this new coach and this new system. All right, getting into it here. Um Johnny Mund, uh you they signed Nick Mullins, I guess, to back up um Trevor Lawrence, Deami Brown coming over on a one-year deal. Um they signed Patrick uh Mari from um the Baltimore Ravens, a good guard right there. um also um signed uh Fred uh Fred Johnson um to help out on the offensive line. Um couple pieces on defense um Dwayne Smoot um Emanuel Abba and um Jordan Lewis um being added to the um to the defense there. But which one of these additions, key additions, man, do you think is going to have um going to help out the Jaguars this season, man? Which which one of these, man, you think is going to have the biggest impact? Uh it’s going to be Oh, man. This this this team here, bro, they got a lot of fillins. A lot of those contracts with fill-in players. Mhm. Want to see what Jordan Lewis and Eric Murray because the Jaguars, I do believe if Trevor Lawrence gets his act right, the Jaguars offense will be okay. It’ll be okay with Dean Brown coming in as that third receiver behind uh Thomas and um a future draft pick that we’re going to talk about here soon. Um him being as a third option, I I think that would be okay. But Jordan Lewis and Eric Murray are going to have to panned out because that secondary can get cooked at any given time. It can be. And if their defense is not playing well, I don’t think this Jaguars team will play well because it’s just something about that kid Trevor Lawrence. And hopefully he proves me wrong, but I just don’t think he’s a $55 million man. I just don’t think so. And when you put that much, you know, capital into one player, you’re expecting him to be that guy to put you over the hump. And he has shown he’s not that guy. So, they’re going to need their defense to get back to playing good defense, holding you to 17 points, 20 points, sometimes 14 points when the offense is struggling mightily. And then they lost Christian Kirk and Evan Ingram. Those two guys that bailed them out to move the chains a lot of the times. What is Trevor ETN? is his head straight or they’re going to have to get rid of him. Then you lost the earnest Johnson, you know, the guy that came in and filled in for him. So, we’ll see. I’m not going to say I hate the moves that they did, but it was just a bunch of fillins, man. To me, I don’t think they got better with this free agent class. Yeah, man. Um definitely not a lot of splash moves. Um but what’s your thoughts, coach? Um, who do you think um who do you think could have the biggest impact um from the Jaguars um offensive uh uh well the their offseason additions um here in uh free agency? Logan Cook, the punter right now. I guess they going to be kicking a lot. Yeah, that offense don’t move the football. I mean, you bring in four offensive linemen, you know, like Pat said, they’re fillers. I mean, you know, look, you know, it’s like, you know, you go to the dentist and you just get your fillings as opposed to really getting diving in and really getting some work done on on your teeth. So, it’s it’s it’s yes, it’s not impressive, you know, are they are they more camp bodies or are they guys who are really going to be key contributors? Because I don’t know. It goes back to what I said about the quarterback because, you know, we’re in a day and age where the quarterback is the most important position, but you have to protect that position. And if you don’t protect it, the most important position will eventually be on the on his back looking up at the sky or on the sideline, you know, recovering from an injury. So, um, that’s going to be key more than anything else for them. you know, you did bring in a couple of tight ends, so we’ll see what that does. You know, like Pat said about Brown as a third receiver that that’s a good one. You know, um again, you know, all of these pieces are are just fillers. Now, is that because you paid Lawrence all that money and you know you’re in a small market, so you know, you know, they don’t want to play a lot of money for a lot of big big money players because you let some big money players go. I don’t want to say big money, but important money players go where, you know, you’re you’re you’re bringing in guys just to, you know, fill in for them and hopefully, you know, you’re you’re able to compete and make make a run. So, you know, but, you know, I guess, you know, a lot of this is also going to be contingent upon the young players that they bring in, you know, the the draft and so on and so forth. Yeah, man. So, let us take a look at the 2025 NFL draft class for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Um, and it was a good one, I must say. Um, s started off with a bang, of course, trading up with the Browns to get Travis Hunter. Um, two-way superstar out of Colorado. Um, is gonna definitely help that defense that we just talked about and, um, you know, help hopefully add to their receiving core, man. Um, you know, losing uh Christian Kirk, man. You gain Travis Hunter, man. So, not a not not a bad consolation prize there, I must say. Um, Caleb Ransom, quarterback out of Two Lane. They definitely need some cornerback help over there in Jacksonville. Wyatt Milm, offensive guard, man, that uh me and Pat talked to at the senior bowl. He is definitely going to help that offensive line for uh the Jacksonville Jaguars. Um, and Brashelle Toutin, man, that that was one of the most underrated prospects, um, I thought at that was at the Senior Bowl from a running back standpoint. Um, out of Tech, man, runs hard, runs tough, man. He’s going to definitely help that running game. Jack Kaiser and Jaylen McCloud out of uh Jack Kaiser out of Notre Dame and Jaylen Mloud out of Auburn. We’ll definitely give them a boost um at the second level of their uh defense u and also give you some special teams help there too, man. So, I mean, we pretty much talked to all of these guys at the Senior Bowl, man, their whole draft draft class. Uh Pat, um but tell me, man, what’s your thoughts, man, on on who they took, you know? Travis Hunter being the obvious one, man. But talk about some of the other players, man, that they Yeah, good point. We talked to half their draft class just about. Think about all of them. Yeah. But, um, we all know it’s going to be Travis Hunter. It’s going to be the Travis Hunter show over there with the Jacksonville Jaguars. They’re going to put him in a slot. They’re going to put him to the outside, but they’ll put Diam Brown on the outside with him and Thomas and let him control, you know, that Christian Kirk role in and of sorts. Travis Hunter is going to have to be as advertised for this team. But going into their other draft picks, I like the Wyatt Milm draft pick. Talked to him at the Sing Bowl. Uh he actually stepped up when we said, “Hey, we want to see a little bit more toughness for uh from you in that interview.” He went out there and he showed some toughness. He made himself into a third round pick. Uh we talked to Toutin, very good running back. Talked to Kaiser, very good coverage uh linebacker. So is Jaylen Mloud. He got a little bit of thump to him. He’s a straight line, but he’s a coverage guy as well. And I like the Laquent Allen at 236 from Syracuse. He could be that guy that could get those grimy yards. Mo too, man. Yeah, Moheim from USC. He he was pretty well as well. So, their draft class is way better than their free agent class for me. I I like their draft class. And if they, you know, develop uh Liam Cohen Cohan or however you say his name, Liam Cole, you got to develop. This is a this is a draft class where they’re they’re like moles of clay and you develop them right, they can turn into a pretty dog on good draft class cuz even Rans from two lane has some skill um that he can you know produce for him. Yeah, man. But what’s your thoughts, coach, man, um on the Jacksonville Jaguars, um draft class? And do you think any of these guys outside of the obvious Travis Hunter can come in and and contribute to uh immediately for this team? Well, let’s let’s start with Hunter. Um first of all, how do you use him? Um is are you going to play are you going to do what he did at at Colorado and play a hundred um plays? um in a in a game I I don’t think that’s going to work, you know. So, are you going to focus with him more on offense or on defense? And then the other side will just, you know, on occasion you’re going to put him in there to play. I know Hunter wants to do both and he wants to, you know, he wants to play as many plays, if not every play, you know, that’s just the dog in him. So, I don’t have a problem with the dog me mindset, but you know, as as a coaching staff, you know, you you got to pull the reigns sometimes, you know, and and being that he’s in his home state, you know, he’s going to want to show out, you know, so, you know, but yes, we all know that he’s a player, you know. So, the other factor is, let’s be real, he’s light in the in in the hind part. So, you know, getting into the NFL, you know, and eventually getting into the workout programs as you go along, will he get some good muscle mass, you know, on his frame that can help him as he goes along? So, um, but you know, Mullum, you know, I’ve looked at the film definitely, um, an offensive lineman who can develop, you know, Mahine, you know, I watched him a little bit, you know, at SC, you know, playing that being that he played in the Big 10 and also formerly in the Pack 10, you know, so what can you what can you how can you develop him, you know, because if you can develop him, he can be a service. I’m not going to say he’s a gold jacket. No, I’m not saying that. but he can be an offensive lineman who can eventually help stabilize the interior of your of your offensive line. So that’s going to be key right there. You know, you guys hit on to I mean, you know, I watched him for the last two years going up against, you know, Ruckers. You know, he is a he is a baller. You know, he can definitely, you know, get those explosive plays and, you know, he can create mismatch. Kaiser, former safety, you know, great coverage skills. you know, it’s just that, you know, will teams try and put him more in the run phase consistently? You know, he now he’ll he’ll put his nose in there and he’ll make a tackle, but you know, play after play. If you’re going up against say like a Baltimore which likes to run, will he bear down? Yeah. So, Mloud, you know, you know, he he’s a thumper like you said, Pat, you know, um especially playing in the SEC. So, you know, but again, it’s more about his development. You know, Lane is another one. you know, he’s intriguing. I watched a little bit of him at the Naval Academy, you know, um I think he does need to be developed a little bit more. He’s going to probably start on special teams. And Allen, you know, I mean, you know, you guys know I’ve done breakdowns on him. You know, um he’s someone who, you know, can be a nice third down back catching the ball out of the back field, you know, trying to get to the corners on occasion. Um, and you know, and he can also run up inside. So, I don’t want to make it seem like, you know, that he’s only an outside guy. There have been plenty of times at Syracuse that he just caught the he caught the the the the lane right in between the the the A gaps and he was gone. So, you know, good draft for them. How do you develop talent that is here? Because they do have talent. and and going forward, where do you go, you know, in terms of, you know, integrating this with your regular roster? And speaking of the regular roster, let’s break it down, man. Let’s take a look at the overall picture here for Jacksonville, man. And honestly, I think you mentioned it earlier, Pat. Um, I think they I think they got some good cooking on offense, man. you know, I mean, I see Brian Thomas Jr., Deiani Brown and Travis Hunter make a really good um, you know, uh, triplet set of receivers. Um, still got Parker Washington over there, man, who I liked, uh, coming out of college. Um, so I I think they got a think they got a pretty good group there tight end wise. Britain Strange, Johnny Mund, they just signed um coming in um from the tight end spot on the offensive line. Walk a little Anton Harrison right left tackle. I don’t know. You guys talked to me about those two. Um but I’m I’m I’m liking the interior so far. Um but man, this is going to be on Trevor Lawrence, man. This going to be on Trevor Lawrence. and can he bounce back here um and and and and have a decent season, man, and and be able to get the ball to some of these uh playmakers that they got. Defensive wise, they were the the bottom of the league last year on defense. So, I see why they they they they picked up a lot of pieces on defense and and and bringing in Travis Hunter, you know, helps them on both sides of the ball as well. So, but defensive wise, man, I it might be another struggle for Jacksonville, man. I ain’t going to hold you, man. But you guys tell me what you think, man, about the state of this roster here, man. And and and do they have a strength and and where do they need to improve? Yeah. See what I see here with this roster, man. Um the offense receiver-wise, I think they’re good. They have a foreheaded monster with Parker Washington, Hunter, Brown, and Thomas Jr., their tackles scare me. Cleveland and Patrick McCari, you know, they can do they can do what they do. Robert uh Hany, he’s not bad. And Luke Forner is not that bad either. Brenton Strange is a decent tight end. He can play play your number one tight end. He’s not going to be what Evan Ingram was, but he he he can he can play. He he actually came in and did pretty well with Evan Ingram got hurt. So maybe that’s what made Evan Ingram expendable to them. Um it’s going to be up to Trevor Lawrence, man, in that run game. Is Trevor ETN going to get back to form? Is Trevor Lawrence going to get back to form? That’s what’s going to hurt them on offense. Those offensive tackles and Trevor Lawrence in the in the run game. What What are they going to do? If they if they’re playing well, the offense will be okay. Now, this defense, it’s the same type thing. Trayvon Walker, number one pick overall. Has he been the guy that they they wanted him to be since drafting him? I don’t know. You know, I have to do a little bit more research, but I haven’t seen him, you know, be that impact guy that or opposite of one of the best pass rushers in the game and Josh Hines Allen. Um, is Devin Lloyd gonna step up and be that that all world linebacker they need him to be, you know? And that and that secondary scares me, man. That secondary scares me. You got Eric Murray. Yeah, it’s it’s thin out there, bro. Yeah, you got Tyson Campbell and Jerry and Jones on the outside. Both of those guys get cooked. Jordan Lord show Jordan Lewis shows that he can be decent, but he could get cooked, too. Now, the safeties, Savage and Murray, have decent, but yeah, that that roster there kind of scary. Trayvon Walker, um he had uh 10 and a half sacks last year. He’s had 10 sacks, um the past couple years, but you know, sacks don’t tell the story, you know. Yeah. What’s his impact, right? And and again again, you know, we’re talking about one of the worst defenses um in the uh in the NFL last year, you know, so obviously that that pass rush isn’t having the bigger the big impact that we that we you know that you were talking about Pat now. Um but coach, man, I’m going to turn it over to you. Um talk to me a little bit about um about this roster, man. And what do you think um how do you think they set up, man? You know, what what is the strengths and and where do they need to improve? Um I always start with, you know, me, I always start with the offensive line, you know, so what do you get there? Um right tackle last year was a first round draft pick if I’m not mistaken. Right. Walk a little. I think so. Yeah. Yeah. I think it was the first round draft pick um last year. So, you know, are you how do you con continue to develop him, you know, and then with the interior? I mean, I was looking at the the running back depth chart. I’m like, you know, I forgot they had Tank Big Bixsby over there. So, you know, with with the running backs that you bring in. Yes. You know, Pat said it best. You know, you’re going to have No, they didn’t they didn’t have a first round draft pick uh tackle last year. Where was Where was Little drafted? Um, Walker Little. Um, could have sworn he was a first round draft pick. Hold on, let me look him up real quick. Well, he’s out of Stanford, but he’s 26. Um, he wasn’t he wasn’t um he wasn’t drafted last year. You know, I could have sworn cuz when they when they broke it down, it was because I was looking at, you know, where they came from and it said 21 one. So, I was like, “Okay, he was drafted in the first round.” Okay. Maybe I was wrong. No, it was second round 40 45th. Okay. I don’t I don’t know what I don’t know what they were putting up there. That’s what threw me. I apologize. Had got uh had to check my um statistician real quick, but um No, no, no. You’re good. You’re good. No, it’s when you bring up bring me back up the um the whatchamacall it when you look at the the death chart and it shows um where some of the other guys came from and then right after them it says 21 or 20 um No, that’s not Yeah, Anton Harrison. I’m sorry. Don’t don’t look at that. Yeah, that’s not what it That’s what threw me. I was like, “Okay, wait a minute. That’s just that’s that’s something that they got. Um because others they put down Minnesota, you see, you know. All right. All right. So that that’s what’s throwing me. I was like that’s that’s not how we read this uh this depth chart right here. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Don’t pay attention to those numbers. Pay attention to the colors. The colors is the colors is coded. Um you know the the the yellow colors are free agent ads. The purple colors are draft picks and the blue is and the blue I think is um uh undrafted free agents. The the light greenish um color and then the blue is the people that’s already been on the team from last year. Okay. Okay. So, all right. I apologize. So, um but I mean, you know, the the offensive lineman, you know, is is what really concerns me. So, um, you know, what do you have out of them? So, um, you know, what are you getting out of Cleveland? You know, uh, Ezra Cleveland, Walker Little, you know, what type of players are you going to get? You know, because if that offensive line can, you know, be physical at the point of attack and then help the run game, you know, will the run game also help Trevor Lawrence because, you know, you do have some, you know, good quality outside pieces in the re receiver um, aspect. defensively, you know, Pat broke it down perfectly. I couldn’t have said it best. You know, the only thing that I was wondering because when they had Jordan Lewis and they brought him in, I was like, “Okay, I thought he was, you know, a nickel.” So, and they do have him there, but I also thought Christian Brazwell was someone who I was like, “Okay, Christian has a great opportunity.” And I’m familiar with him because he’s from Ruckers and I watched what he did and his his progression. Now, he’s second on the depth chart, but last year he got a lot of plays. So I’m like, okay, you know, was this going to be his opportune time to step up? But, you know, you bring in Lewis competition. Hey, will it force them to step up? But, you know, overall, when you look at their defense, um last year, um you guys said it best, they gave up uh 435 points, you know, that’s a lot. Ridiculous, you know, and they only score 320 points. So, you that’s a differential of 115 points. So you’re scoring about 19 points a game, but you’re giving up roughly about 28ish somewhere around there. 29, you know, so that’s that’s, you know, defensively you’re going to have to really step up more than offensively. You’re going to have to produce, but defensively, you know, you know, as the offense continues to develop, you have an offensive minded head coach coming in. You know, what is he going to do to help that offense grow? You know, defense is going to have to do something. They’re going to have to step up. And when you, you know, Pat, you said it, you know, you got to look at, you know, Walker and Allen up. And I looked at it, I was like, “Wait a minute. You got some good defensive ends over there, you know, or I thought you did. Where are they at?” They had 34 sacks last year, coach. They had 34 sacks last year, man. And that was that was near the bottom of the league. It was um fifth um least. So, what’s scheme? What type of scheme? What are you doing? Who’s DC? How are you taking advantage of this? Um, you know, um, let me see. Can I see how many yards they were giving up? Uh, defense. Defensively, they rushing the Jaguars. We’re giving them 4.4. 4 yards per carry, 511 carries for 2,254 yards, 19 touchdowns, um giving up 20 plus yards. Um you gave up 12 over the whole season. So, you know, yeah, they definitely have to improve in the run game. Pat already spoke about their their passing, your defensive backfield. You know, there’s concerns there, but it starts with the run game. what I always talk, what I always preach, offensive line, defensive line. That’s where the run game is won and lost. And that’s where, you know, you have two edge rushers. Okay, great. But what are you getting from your interior? What are your linebackers doing to help in the run game? You know, and remember I talked about Jack Kaiser earlier, teams are going to try and run. Well, you know, are you going to force him to be, you know, to come down consistently in the run game? What type of defense are you going to run? you know, it says a forefront, but is it more um is going to be over under, you know, I mean, are you g I mean, what are you going to do to take away the run and force teams to be onedimensional? So, and then hopefully your edge rushers will step up and play at the the level that they’re they’re touted to be as far as um pass rushers. Yeah, man. um 10 games last year. Trevor Lawrence 11 touchdowns, seven interceptions. And and to me, I’m with Pat. That’s kind of where it starts, man. This this kid is making 200 He got a 5year $275 million contract. And yes, you you you got some pieces. You got some pieces. It’s not the best roster, but you got some pieces. Make it work on off. Now, on defense, I’m with you, man. I think this team just gonna struggle. I don’t I don’t I don’t They don’t have no I don’t feel their direction, you know? I don’t feel the direction that they’re headed because you got these pass rushers and they should be producing, man, but you only had 34 st sacks last year. you know, sachs ain’t the telling story of it all, but I’m sure if we was to go a little bit deeper, we’d see a bigger problem than just the sacks. You know what I mean? So, um, we do not have enough. Yeah. It’s called confidence. It’s called, you know, momentum your offense takes away from you. But, you know, we’ll get more deep into that as we get into the season and we see exactly what’s going on. Yeah, man. And speaking of the season, man, this is how it shapes up for Jacksonville. Um, this is how it shapes up, man. Um, Carolina, Cincy, Houston, San Francisco out the gate. You get Kansas City, Seattle, Los Angeles right there. And then you got you got a stretch of Vegas, Houston, the Chargers, the the Cardinals, the Titans, Colts, Jets. I mean, it’s not the hardest schedule in the world, fellas. It’s not. And they got them at seven and a half, though. Um, seeing the roster, seeing the schedule, um, I think they’re going to have some difficulties in the beginning. I will say that, but towards the end, they should pick up a few games. Um, but seven and a half, man. Seven and a half, man. What we doing? Over or under for Jackson? All right. I’m going under, bro. Yeah. Look at that first what? Out of the first eight games, first seven games. You got Carolina, I think Carolina can beat him. Cincinnati, I think that’s a butt whooping. Houston, I think that’s a butt whooping. San Francisco, I think, can beat him. Kansas City, I think, is a butt whooping. Seattle, I think, can beat him. The Rams, damn sure, can beat them. I think they could be one and six. I did at best maybe two and five those first seven games and then you play the Raiders let’s just say I give them the Raiders three and five Houston no Los Angeles Chargers no Cardinals let’s just say they beat the Cardinal that’s four Tennessee five Indianapolis maybe six New York Jets no I think they lose to them Denver show and they’re going to lose one of those Indianapolis Tennessee gangers. They always do. Yeah, I see them seven at best. Best. I’m going under, man. Coach, what you got, man? Over and under. Seven and a half for Jacksonville, man. Looking at the schedule and knowing what you know about the roster and the overall team now. Um, I’m under. I’m taking under because, you know, even if they started two and even if they started two and 0, it’s just right after that, those next five games, it’s like, okay, I I I I I can’t see it. So, but then I don’t think they’re going to, you know, win the first two. I’m not saying that they’re definitely going to win it. They can come out one and one. You know, I like what Pat said, one and one in six to start, then you go to Vegas, you know, are you beat up when you go to Vegas by that point in time. And do you me are you mentally tapped out, you know, because you have a new coaching staff and thinking you going to walk over the Raiders, man. They No, I I don’t think that, you know, cuz we talked about Exactly. You know, and you know, you know, Carol is going to do his thing, you know, to to instill a culture over there. You know, Pat broke it down. I mean, you know, Houston, oh, no, because it’s on the road, you know, Chargers, even Arizona is not an easy one for for them. You know, it’s like you look at it, you look at it and it it’s, you know, can they win can they win seven games? Yes, they can win seven games. Can they push eight games? Maybe. You know, it all like you said, both you said, it depends on Trevor Lawrence. Number one, Trevor Lawrence is on the field. Number two, what type of protection are you giving him? What type of influence in the run game are you are you you guys doing, you know, to help offensively? And then defensively, what are you doing? What are you going to do? cuz that second game against in Cincinnati against that offense with the defense that you you played from last year 430 plus points but look at the offenses they facing you facing Cincinnati you facing Houston you know what I’m saying we’ll see what San Francisco is you know but they still got Brandon Iuk and Christian McCaffrey you know Kansas City you know they going to be a good offense you know the Rams good offense Seattle. We’ll see. We’ll see. You know, you got Chargers. Yes, I’m with you. Arizona could put up points. Denver could put up points. So, I mean, we we we we you’re right. It it’s it’s they have to have an improved defense um from last year. That’s the first thing. And you know, what are you getting in the trenches? What are you getting in the trenches to allow Trevor Morris so we can see can he be the the money quarterback that he’s being paid to be? So, but I’m going under. Yeah, I can’t see this team winning eight games. I’m sorry, Jacksonville Jaguar fans. I I I know. I understand. You know, you want hope. You got Travis Hunter, you got Trevor Lawrence, you know, TNT, Travis and Trevor. But I don’t think that’s going to get you to eight wins, you know, I don’t think that’s going to get you to eight wins. And while your division isn’t tough and we going to get to the Colts and we going to get to um the Tennessee Titans, but let’s not act like you’re head and shoulders above those teams and I don’t think you beating the Texans either, you know, cuz that seems to be the cream of this division. I I just I don’t see I don’t have a lot of faith in this team, you know, and me and Pat, we’ve we’ve done a lot of Jacksonville Jaguars games the past couple years. And nah, man. Trevor Lawrence, I’m sorry. That might be a mistake. That might be something they will regret. But you still got to play him and you still got to play football. I don’t see it turning out too well even though you got a so-called soft schedule. Tell me who you stopping out of those offensive teams that we we talked about with the defense that you got that you put out there on the field. You know, rookies are rookies and they’re going to play like rookies, which means you’re going to have a lot of mistakes, probably some turnovers, probably some miscommunication. Um, and even if you’re competitive, you’ll probably lose those close games because you have a rookie head coach. So again, I don’t think this is lining up to be a good season for Jacksonville. I’m definitely taking the under here with the Jags, man. But last thoughts, man, before we move on to our next team, fellas. Jaguars need some help. Have to come from Trevor Lawrence, man. If Trevor Lawrence turns out to be that $55 million man and go out there and make sound decisions and make, you know, some cuts passes here or there, they may get that over. But I just don’t have no belief in that kid, man. I just don’t. I said it before, um, with a new coach, um, especially a coach who quickly ascended to the position, you know, what are you getting out of him? how what type of system is he implementing to help develop the players on this roster, whether they’re rookies or veterans, you know, what are you doing to, you know, help um these players get the get the most out of their abilities? So, um uh and then, you know, you guys said it, Trevor Lawrence, you know, number one, you got to stay on the field, man. You know, the best ability is availability. you know, um, trenches. I always speak about speak on it. You know, what are you doing down there in the trenches to help him? And, you know, you look like you have some decent running backs. So, you know, what type of running game are you going to establish? So, you know, we’ll we’ll see. Um, but yeah, you know, help like you said, Pat. Yeah, they need a whole lot of help, you know, so a whole lot of help and a whole lot. And Matt Jones, though. Matt Jones. Matt Jones, man. Please. All right, y’all. Man, um, we gonna switch it over, man. And we going to talk about the Colts, man. We going we going to keep this thing moving, man. We’ll be right back. [Music] [Music] Hey, [Music] hey, hey. [Music]
