00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.919
Hey everybody, this is your GM, your back row

00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:03.480
dominance, your GM who currently is not on a

00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:04.719
team right now, but don't you worry about it,

00:00:04.740 --> 00:00:07.500
your hopium, hopium, hopium, hopium, hopium dealer

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:09.820
here to give you episode 13 of the Stack and

00:00:09.820 --> 00:00:12.140
Shed series. Now in this series, we're covering

00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:15.460
all 32 teams, so everybody gets a chance to be

00:00:15.460 --> 00:00:17.359
talked about, all right? Now in this series,

00:00:17.420 --> 00:00:19.260
we're covering a few different topics and they

00:00:19.260 --> 00:00:23.100
include what went wrong, what do they need, stack

00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:26.629
or shed, their draft picks. one move I would

00:00:26.629 --> 00:00:29.250
do in their cap space right now in this episode

00:00:29.250 --> 00:00:32.289
we're going to do vol and we're talking about

00:00:32.289 --> 00:00:34.049
the Jacksonville Jaguars I'm gonna let you guys

00:00:34.049 --> 00:00:36.670
know right now this was by far the most difficult

00:00:36.670 --> 00:00:40.289
one to do because I tried to find something that

00:00:40.289 --> 00:00:43.689
was wrong with this team and I nicked and I picked

00:00:43.689 --> 00:00:46.649
and I couldn't find something until I did find

00:00:46.649 --> 00:00:48.969
something but it might be a little bit minute

00:00:48.969 --> 00:00:51.810
might be a big problem I don't know but let's

00:00:51.810 --> 00:01:01.479
talk about it All right, let's get into it. So

00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:04.000
what went wrong in the Jaguar season? And I will

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.780
eventually say it was a slow offensive and defensive

00:01:06.780 --> 00:01:09.870
start. Despite the controversial hiring process

00:01:09.870 --> 00:01:12.950
of Liam Cohen, my expectations for the Jaguars

00:01:12.950 --> 00:01:15.909
this past season was very low because we've seen

00:01:15.909 --> 00:01:20.010
this same story over and over and over again.

00:01:20.150 --> 00:01:22.310
And that is the Jaguars will bring in a head

00:01:22.310 --> 00:01:24.090
coach who they believe is going to take this

00:01:24.090 --> 00:01:27.049
team to the next level. They may exceed expectations

00:01:27.049 --> 00:01:29.930
in their first year. They may win a playoff game,

00:01:30.010 --> 00:01:32.530
maybe two playoff games. Who knows? And for the

00:01:32.530 --> 00:01:34.390
rest of their tenure, they're trying to regain

00:01:34.390 --> 00:01:36.959
the momentum they had in the first season. Players

00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:39.239
are wanting out. There's division between the

00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:41.420
front office and the coaching staff. The coaching

00:01:41.420 --> 00:01:44.159
staff is leaking out things to insiders. There's

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.239
just chaos everywhere. Although the Jaguars drafted

00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:50.060
Travis Hunter, I was never under the impression

00:01:50.060 --> 00:01:52.500
that he was going to be the sole reason why this

00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:55.540
offense goes to another level. Instead, I just

00:01:55.540 --> 00:01:57.079
thought that he was just going to be a Swiss

00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.659
Army knife that they can use in a variety of

00:01:59.659 --> 00:02:02.099
different ways. And as we saw last season, the

00:02:02.099 --> 00:02:04.379
offense didn't really take off until they acquired

00:02:04.379 --> 00:02:07.870
Jacoby Myers. According to Sumer Sports, From

00:02:07.870 --> 00:02:12.229
Week 1 to Week 9, Trevor Lawrence was 293 attempts

00:02:12.229 --> 00:02:17.669
for 175 completions, 1 ,840 passing yards, 9

00:02:17.669 --> 00:02:21.270
touchdowns, 6 interceptions, a 59 .7 completion

00:02:21.270 --> 00:02:24.669
percentage, while averaging 6 .2 yards per attempt,

00:02:24.810 --> 00:02:28.930
230 yards per game, with a 79 .7 passer rating.

00:02:29.129 --> 00:02:31.969
Now from week 10 to week 18, Trevor Lawrence

00:02:31.969 --> 00:02:37.949
was 267 attempts for 166 completions, 2 ,167

00:02:37.949 --> 00:02:40.930
passing yards, 20 touchdowns, 6 interceptions,

00:02:41.090 --> 00:02:44.150
a 62 .1 completion percentage, while averaging

00:02:44.150 --> 00:02:48.270
8 .1 yards per attempt, 240 yards per game, with

00:02:48.270 --> 00:02:51.669
a 103 .3 passer rating. Defensively, I don't

00:02:51.669 --> 00:02:53.409
know why they started slow. I don't know if it

00:02:53.409 --> 00:02:55.810
was a coaching issue, if it was a schematic issue,

00:02:55.930 --> 00:02:58.349
if it was a player issue, but whatever it was,

00:02:58.409 --> 00:03:01.050
it took them a long time to figure it out. According

00:03:01.050 --> 00:03:04.009
to Sumer Sports, the Jaguars' defense from Week

00:03:04.009 --> 00:03:08.710
1 to Week 9 allowed 2 ,689 yards, 4 .5 yards

00:03:08.710 --> 00:03:12.389
per play, while generating 10 sacks, 11 interceptions,

00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.740
five forced fumbles, and recovering four fumbles.

00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.479
But from week 10 to week 18, the Jaguars' defense

00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:24.280
allowed 2 ,473 yards, 3 .6 yards per play, while

00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:28.020
generating 22 sacks, 11 interceptions, six forced

00:03:28.020 --> 00:03:30.539
fumbles, and recovering five fumbles. Now with

00:03:30.539 --> 00:03:32.860
that being said, what do the Jaguars need? And

00:03:32.860 --> 00:03:35.219
that is a better start to the season. By starting

00:03:35.219 --> 00:03:37.379
off hot, you're applying added pressure on your

00:03:37.379 --> 00:03:40.139
division rivals to keep up with you. We saw last

00:03:40.139 --> 00:03:42.710
season that this division was very competitive

00:03:42.710 --> 00:03:46.060
until the end. So if I'm the Jaguars, I want

00:03:46.060 --> 00:03:48.819
to try to maintain at least a three to four game

00:03:48.819 --> 00:03:52.039
lead over the Texans and the Colts. Because at

00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:53.979
the end of the day, you want to try to lock up

00:03:53.979 --> 00:03:56.620
the division as quickly as possible. You don't

00:03:56.620 --> 00:03:59.000
want this thing to draw out until the last week

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.500
of the season. Because the longer that this thing

00:04:01.500 --> 00:04:04.340
draws out, the better the chance that the Texans

00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:07.379
or the Colts or maybe even the Titans, surprisingly,

00:04:07.539 --> 00:04:10.139
may try to take the division from you. Now, with

00:04:10.139 --> 00:04:11.919
that being said, the question we all need to

00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.169
ask ourselves is stack. or shed. And I would

00:04:14.169 --> 00:04:15.870
venture to say stack. And the reason why I say

00:04:15.870 --> 00:04:18.290
that is because you guys were almost close to

00:04:18.290 --> 00:04:20.029
being the Bills last season in the playoffs.

00:04:20.410 --> 00:04:22.709
There's no need for you to scrap this team. But

00:04:22.709 --> 00:04:24.850
instead, you need to continue to build this team

00:04:24.850 --> 00:04:27.850
the right way. And that is good drafting, good

00:04:27.850 --> 00:04:31.279
signings, and allowing this team to grow. a lot

00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.959
of times we see that teams don't allow their

00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.040
players to grow. Players are going to make mistakes.

00:04:37.339 --> 00:04:39.360
Now, it's what you do with those mistakes that

00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.879
matters the most. Now, do I think this team is

00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.220
in the right direction with Liam Cohen? I don't

00:04:44.220 --> 00:04:47.079
know. It's still too early to tell, but I do

00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.839
believe they have the infrastructure to be successful.

00:04:50.100 --> 00:04:51.800
Looking at their draft picks, they have a second,

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.459
three -thirds, a fourth, two -fifths, a sixth,

00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.560
and three -sevenths. Now, I don't expect the

00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.779
Jaguars to use all 11 picks, but instead, I think

00:04:59.779 --> 00:05:01.180
they're going to group some of them to either

00:05:01.180 --> 00:05:04.420
trade up, trade down, or use them for future

00:05:04.420 --> 00:05:07.860
assets in the 27 draft class. Now the one move

00:05:07.860 --> 00:05:10.420
that I would do is keep Travis Hunter at corner.

00:05:10.579 --> 00:05:13.800
By acquiring Jacoby Myers and Parker Washington

00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.579
showing some promise and the expectation that

00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:18.819
Brian Thomas is going to have a resurgence in

00:05:18.819 --> 00:05:21.180
this upcoming season, it lessens the need for

00:05:21.180 --> 00:05:23.480
Travis Hunter to be a dual threat player and

00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.579
increases his role of being a number one corner.

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:28.779
When Travis Hunter is with the defense, they

00:05:28.779 --> 00:05:33.040
allow Seth 761 yards, 4 .9 yards per play, while

00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.459
generating 5 sacks, 5 interceptions, 1 forced

00:05:36.459 --> 00:05:38.699
fumble, and recovering 1 fumble. But when Travis

00:05:38.699 --> 00:05:41.800
Hunter isn't with the defense, they allow 4 ,401

00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.819
yards, 4 .9 yards per play, while generating

00:05:44.819 --> 00:05:48.759
27 sacks, 17 interceptions, 7 forced fumbles,

00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.540
and recovering 6 fumbles. Now maybe once in the

00:05:51.540 --> 00:05:53.500
blue moon you want to spice things up a bit,

00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.220
maybe get the crowd going, fine. i have no problem

00:05:56.220 --> 00:05:59.680
with that but to have him take offensive and

00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.720
defensive snaps every single game is unnecessary

00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.180
at this point looking at their cap space they

00:06:06.180 --> 00:06:09.040
have 6 .8 million now i expect for them to move

00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:10.759
some money around so that they can be players

00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:12.779
in that second and third wave of free agency

00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.699
while having more than enough to sign all their

00:06:15.699 --> 00:06:18.019
draft picks. Now I'm curious, whose contract

00:06:18.019 --> 00:06:20.819
can they restructure or extend in order to generate

00:06:20.819 --> 00:06:23.220
more cap space? Could they do something with

00:06:23.220 --> 00:06:25.079
Trevor Lawrence? Could they do something with

00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.439
Eric Armstead? Could they try to give an extension

00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:29.639
to Trayvon Walker and maybe you can do something

00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.790
with their cap space right now? I don't know.

00:06:31.990 --> 00:06:33.790
Time will tell. But I'm going to end this episode
