| 0:00.0 | Who will be the best Jaguars running back to own that more's week on the couch. |
| 0:03.4 | Very excited. |
| 0:04.5 | Mike Dempsey, I'm fired up. Is there of Jags running back that's going to get us fired up in fantasy leagues down the stretch? Fred Taylor, let's go. Yes. Come on, Freddie T. Got to get you in the Hall of Fame. He's another one of the 26th semifinalists. But now, look, I, you know, I'm a Bejel Tootin believer, but I'm not ignorant. I see have eyes. I see what's been going on all year. Travis Ctian's the guy here. He's the starter. He's involved in the passing game. Tutin doesn't get a lot of work in the passing game. I mean, it may be a better any given week kind of coin flip who's going to score a touchdown. And they have used in that capacity. But, too, the ETS got his share of work down there as well. I think, Sig, that they didn't know what they had in ETA, this new staff, when they came here and, you know, |
| 0:54.8 | all offseason, Tank Bigsby was running ahead of ETN. That was not a fake narrative. I was out there |
| 1:00.0 | every offseason practice that I could be at, OTAs, mini camps, training camp. He was the first guy |
| 1:06.2 | up. And that means something. And he was listed as a co-starter and all up until the point where he wasn't. And I think part of it was Bigsby wasn't happy with the role that he was going to play. And this organization is like, you know, we're setting a foundation. If you're not fully on board, you can get out. And really, and he wasn't a problem child or anything like that. But he was not going to be happy playing second fiddle and being a kick returner. So anyway, I had asked, I'm not going to tell you who it is because he didn't give me permission to do. I asked somebody that everybody would know with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who they expected. This was back in like May to take the first series of the season. |
| 1:44.9 | In other words, |
| 1:45.2 | who's opening as a starter? And they told me Bejal Tootin. They drafted him to be the guy eventually. Now, I think what happened was Travis Ctian came in hyper-motivated. You know, you hear all this about all these other guys. It's a contract year. And he had to prove himself. and he knew he had an opportunity to do that. |
| 2:01.5 | And so he's done that. |
| 2:02.9 | But I think, you know, for the long term... It's a contract year, and he had to prove himself, and he knew he had an opportunity to do that. |
| 2:01.4 | And so he's done that. |
| 2:02.7 | But I think, you know, for the long term, I have a hard time believing that they're going to bring ETN back. |
| 2:08.6 | You know, I just do. |
| 2:10.3 | It doesn't seem they're kind of analytically driven. |
| 2:15.3 | It doesn't make sense to me to pay running backs unless you're paying the super top of the |
| 2:21.2 | market elite, you know, 5%. |
| 2:23.9 | I don't think ETN is that. |
| 2:25.9 | They would have this year. |
| 2:27.3 | Had they not been able to pull off the trade for Travis Hunter, they would have taken |
| 2:30.3 | Ashen Gentie at five, 100% believe that. |
| 2:33.1 | Oh, okay? |
| 2:33.8 | They loved R.J. Harvey, But yes, they weren't in position once they traded their second round pick. When he came off the board, that's when they moved back in the third round, because they said, all right, we can't get the guy that we're targeting here. And then Tutin was the next man up. And of course, they drafted Le Quint Allen in the seventh round as well. But I think they drafted Tutin with the |
