Speaker 1: All Right, welcome into this week's Ozone podcast presented by

3
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: by Star. And I'm excited about this next guest because

4
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: he's been around a long time. He doesn't love to

5
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: do media, even with a nice guy like me, so

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: we haven't talked to him a whole lot. But it's

7
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: Jaguars Fanner, Brandon Lender and Brandon and doing a little research,

8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: which for me means hitting Google. Um, you are now

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: the most tenure Jaguars player eight years? Is that hard

10
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: to believe? Is just gone by quick? Yeah? I mean

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: in the moment, it hasn't gone by quick, but when

12
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: you look at the whole picture, it's definitely flown by.

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's already it's crazy that we're already in December. Um,

14
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: It's it's been a it's been a incredible career. I mean,

15
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: I love Jackson. Oh, I love to be here. I

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: want to finish my career here. But it's definitely flown by.

17
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: I'm definitely trying to I'm going into like these weeks

18
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: and these games. You know, I really try and savor

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: every every emotion that I'll feel on game day. I

20
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: guess the nice way of saying it is you've seen

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: some stuff around here. I mean you've seen some yeah,

22
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: well some turnover. I mean, uh, can you even come

23
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: close to naming all the offensive lineman you've played with? Oh? Yeah,

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember if we had some time, but

25
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: i'd had to really, I had to white. You want

26
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: me to do that right now? No? No, it's just

27
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: conceptually speaking, There's been a lot of players in and

28
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 1: out of the facility. Also, Tyler chat Lee is also

29
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: the longest tenure with me eight years. Um, so we've

30
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: definitely seen, uh seen some faces coming in and out

31
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: of this building. But I think you've got two or

32
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: three days on chat because you were drafted and then

33
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: he came along like two days later. Do you ever

34
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: hold that over him? No? Never, never, that's my guy.

35
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: That's my guy. Judge. Hey, uh, I know the center

36
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: in the quarterback, I have a special relationship. Uh tell

37
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: me about Trevor Lawrence. What are your impressions after being

38
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: around this kid for for seven or eight months? Yeah,

39
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: I mean my impressions of this kid. I mean, the

40
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: kids are stud the kids in absolute stud The thing

41
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: that impresses me most is his maturity level. Uh, you know,

42
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: I think he just turned twenty two. I mean, I

43
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: know when I was at his age, well, heck, I

44
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: think I was still in college. But I mean the

45
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: maturity level on this kid's incredible. Um. The football intelligence,

46
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: and he's learning, he's but you know, he wants to learn.

47
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: He he wants to get better, and it's it's really

48
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: cool to see. It's just a confidence the poise of

49
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: this kid. I mean, you know, obviously our season hasn't

50
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: gone the way we wanted it to, but we're always working.

51
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: He's always striving to get better. And I mean he's

52
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: gonna be here for a long time. And Jackson has

53
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: got a great one in him. Tell me about his

54
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: football intelligence, meaning, I know, you are a guy when

55
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: you're at the line, you see what's going on, uh,

56
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: and you're a veteran who knows what's going on behind him.

57
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: Is he picking it up pretty quick? And in terms

58
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: of seeing that the line of scrimmage and in terms

59
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: of understanding what he's seeing out there, Yeah, he is

60
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: picking up fairly quick. And you know that's something that

61
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: I think your quarterback and center always trying to do

62
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: is get on the same page when looking at the defense,

63
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: I ding it and you know, getting everyone on the

64
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: same page. And he's back there. He's able to flip

65
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: protections and to help me along the way. Um, so

66
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: it's nice to have a sounding board and again just attached.

67
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: You know, we're like Avatar, attached with our tails. But

68
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: now the kids, the kids very impressive and he's I mean,

69
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch him on his journey. For sure,

70
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: you're not an old man, you're twenty nine. But are

71
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: you seeing a difference now like when a young lineman

72
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: comes in when you're talking to Walker Little or Ben

73
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: Bart Do you feel older than those guys yet? Is

74
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: there is there that sort of a difference? Still young?

75
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: I feel, Oh, I'm young at heart, Baby, I feel

76
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: younger than I You know, I might, I might have

77
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: a few more aches and pains in them and a

78
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: few more miles on these treads. But you know, I

79
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: still feel I'm I'm I'm an old sult that I'm

80
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: young at heart. Tell me about this offensive line. It's

81
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: it's an area that fans love to criticize any offensive line.

82
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: They don't really know what they're praising all the time.

83
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: How would you assess this group. Where are you guys

84
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: at Yeah, I love this offensive line. I love our room. Um.

85
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: I mean we truly genuinely our friends, you know, inside

86
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: and out of this building. Um. I mean we come

87
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: to play every game. Um, and that's something we pride

88
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: ourselves on, no matter what what the play is called.

89
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: You know, we're we're in there trying to execute. Um.

90
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: I think I think we've been doing a good job. Obviously,

91
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: there's always room for improvement, always room for improvement, and uh,

92
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: you know we're striving for that always continually. But I

93
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: love this line. I wouldn't trade it for nothing. And um,

94
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: I mean I think this is now our third year altogether.

95
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: You know, losing a j that hurt. Um. But Ben

96
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: bart is stepped up. I mean it's honestly, I mean,

97
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: I'll take this line over any line in the NFL.

98
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: Urban talks constantly about talking to you and other veteran

99
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: players about the state of the team. Uh, how is

100
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: that leadership role gone for you? How is that relationship?

101
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: And I sort of guess where have you and other

102
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: leaders helped him in the process. Yeah, I mean I

103
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: think it's yeah, yeah, very cool thing. Um, it's nice

104
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: to be able to you know, he he wants to

105
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: get our opinion, open communication, um, you know, from the veterans,

106
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: and being able to kind of help him through this process.

107
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: You know, he's not used to all all the NFL stuff.

108
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: But um no, it's been it's been great that he

109
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: you know, asked us for our opinion and we kind

110
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: of share with him what we think and um yeah,

111
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of open for him, kind of bouncing ideas

112
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: off each other. And uh so it has been nice.

113
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: And you cracked me up in your availability this week

114
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: when you talked about communication or the lack thereof being

115
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: the world's biggest problem. I expand on that a little

116
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: bit if you will. Oh. I mean I'm big on

117
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: over communicating, right. I mean you see it day in

118
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: and day out. Everyone sees it in their work life

119
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: and their home life. People don't know how to communicate, right.

120
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: And I think it's just because people don't want to

121
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: have conversations, don't want to have the tough conversations. But

122
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: like that's how we go about it in the offensive

123
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: line room, you know, just over communicating, um and because

124
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: then I mean then you know what everyone's thinking. And

125
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know I just I'm a big

126
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: fan of over communication. You know, nobody's a mind reader,

127
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: nobody knows what the other person is thinking. So, but

128
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: that is the world's biggest problem, one one of them.

129
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to text and communicate now, so that's the Yeah,

130
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: that's the other thing that's probably probably with you kids, Brandon. Yeah. No,

131
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: Well again, I'm an old soul. I'm ana face to face.

Speaker 1: I'm gonna look you in the eye and talk to you.

133
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to text you, I don't

134
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,479

189
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: seems to me like he must be a great guy

190
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: to block four because of the way he sees holes

191
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,840

193
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: He'll give you, he'll crack a smile and then he'll

194
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: run a dude over. I mean, the guy is like

195
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,840

245
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: I mean I think there's a there's a multiple of people.

246
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna have to go with my parents. I'm

247
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: both of them. I can't single out one over the other.

248
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, my dad taking me to football

249
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: practice ever since I was a little kid, you know,

250
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: helping me with working out and just kind of a mindset.

251
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: And then my mom, I mean just being there, uh

252
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: you know, making me incredible food, uh, you know, getting

254
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: being a sounding board for me. So my parents were,

255
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: I would say, the biggest factor. And you know why

256
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here today after eight years or you know

257
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: in my eighth year talking to you. Did your mom

258
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: start you off with the breakfast routine? Actually, my well

259
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: both of them, but my dad, Um, we he would

260
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: make us these shakes when we were when we were kids,

261
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: and you know, it just had it would just be

262
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: packed full of veggies and fruit and stuff. You know,

263
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: so that was a great way for us to get

264
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: it without eating it. But you know, look at me,

265
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: I wasn't I wasn't that piggy growing up. You know,

266
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: I'd eat pretty much what was in front of me.

267
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, my parents, Yeah, my parents were

268
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: the biggest um you know, reason I am who I
