Speaker 1: It is Thursday, June three. This is jack Bars Happy Hour,
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hours brought to you by Duval Motor Company
Speaker 1: and now the Four Seasons Hotel of Sports Broadcasting JPCE Schadrill.
Speaker 1: Take that as a compliment and welcome in a Jaguars
Speaker 1: Happy Hour presented by the Duval Motor Company. J P. Shadrick,
Speaker 1: Jeff Logaman coming up and a busy day at t
Speaker 1: I A bank Field will re cap all of it.
Speaker 1: The downtown development and first Downtown Jack's dot com announcement
Speaker 1: earlier today in the East Club organized team activities, the
Speaker 1: team was on the field for practice number six out
Speaker 1: of ten scheduled. We'll hear from defensive lineman Roy Robertson Harris.
Speaker 1: He was at it in free agency this offseason and
Speaker 1: I had a chance to catch up with him after
Speaker 1: practice today to get his thoughts on how things are
Speaker 1: are meshing and going in this off season. Then we'll
Speaker 1: go around the National Football League and Mr Loghaman, good afternoon,
Speaker 1: what's up? It is a good afternoon. Yes, it is
Speaker 1: a fantastic day and a good day to watch the Jaguar.
Speaker 1: See little. I have a really nice kind of a
Speaker 1: spirited competitive practice today. I liked it. Okay, yeah, it's good.
Speaker 1: It's good. We'll get into your observations of that coming
Speaker 1: up in just a little bit, because you only get
Speaker 1: one window a week now that you see these guys,
Speaker 1: so one practice a week until the mini camp, so
Speaker 1: you'll have all three access points those two weeks from now,
Speaker 1: so you know, it's kind of limited what you can see,
Speaker 1: so you're really taking everything in when you're out there.
Speaker 1: It is in the action certainly started well before the
Speaker 1: players took the field today. Yes, it did, and let's
Speaker 1: start with that. The development press conference this morning and
Speaker 1: the East Club at t i A A bank Field
Speaker 1: shot Conmark Lamping Urban Meyer addressing the crowd earlier today,
Speaker 1: we all served from Michael Mayo, the new president and
Speaker 1: CEO of Baptist Health of Northeast Florida, and they announced
Speaker 1: the vision for the plans in the Shipyards project, including
Speaker 1: a four seasons hotel on the river, a marina, an
Speaker 1: office building, a partnership with Baptist Health for an orthopedic center,
Speaker 1: and then the future of the stadium and the football
Speaker 1: performance center also unveiled and the renderings were shown, and
Speaker 1: it's quite an adjustment from some of the renderings we
Speaker 1: had seen in the past, totally different from the lot
Speaker 1: Jay thing, which is no longer. So um, it was
Speaker 1: an interesting watch and we're excited to see I think
Speaker 1: what happens next. Well, I think for for me personally,
Speaker 1: I remember when the whole lot Ja thing was was
Speaker 1: banning about, and I just like, I want to see
Speaker 1: that strip of river develop, you know, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's just I remember, this is dead serious and and
Speaker 1: Skip Richardson will tell you the exact same thing, who
Speaker 1: has been with the Jaguars for a very long time,
Speaker 1: has been essentially their head of security for a very
Speaker 1: long time. Me and Joe Schmank coming down Bay Street,
Speaker 1: we said to ourselves, we need to find out who
Speaker 1: owns Atlanta buy it because that's a valuable piece of
Speaker 1: real estate. Well here we are, and it's twenty six
Speaker 1: years later, and it's still not what it really needs
Speaker 1: to be. So I'm excited that this is where the
Speaker 1: proposed building is going to be at. And there's so
Speaker 1: many different components of it that I like. First and foremost.
Speaker 1: We can talk about the performance center in a minute,
Speaker 1: but the the partnership, which which I think the original
Speaker 1: idea came when when we went to Ment to visit
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings And training camp and a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago, three years ago now, when we got to
Speaker 1: see what they had going on at their training facility
Speaker 1: and the partnership that they had with a medical provider
Speaker 1: to have this destination for orthopedic care where people came
Speaker 1: from all over to come in to use the facility
Speaker 1: that the Vikings and and the doctors in the hospital
Speaker 1: built there, and it had a hotel. You'd coming state
Speaker 1: at the hotel with your family and you get the
Speaker 1: procedure done. And so here's a great opportunity and a
Speaker 1: great vision that that I remember was being talked about
Speaker 1: a very long time ago. And I think it's a
Speaker 1: great idea because you have some excellent doctors here in
Speaker 1: this town. With the pedicle and UH, people need to
Speaker 1: find a place to be able to go and where
Speaker 1: they can trust and get great care. So I think
Speaker 1: that's exciting. And also the performance Center, Yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: game changer now. And it was during the presentation this morning,
Speaker 1: there was a graphic that included the average square footage
Speaker 1: of NFL facilities around the league, and it's around the
Speaker 1: average is around a hundred and twenty thousand square feets well,
Speaker 1: and that can include also some facilities that are their
Speaker 1: indoor et cetera. Now, now, one of the things that
Speaker 1: I will tell you over the last number of years
Speaker 1: that the Jaguars have visited visited people for training camps,
Speaker 1: whether been Baltimore, Minnesota, Atlanta, Tampa, all these different places
Speaker 1: that we've got an opportunity to see. First of all,
Speaker 1: Atlanta they did there's years ago. I mean they were
Speaker 1: they were way way ahead forward thinking many years ago.
Speaker 1: But what they have in Minnesota is when when Urban
Speaker 1: Meyer talks about having the best of the best, pretty
Speaker 1: much the Minnesota Vikings have the best of the best.
Speaker 1: The Atlanta Falcons have some of the best of the best,
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens some of the best of the best.
Speaker 1: What they have here which is is okay, But look,
Speaker 1: it's the same facility that was here in when I
Speaker 1: came here as a free agent. And the game the
Speaker 1: game has changed, you know, the the advancement and everything
Speaker 1: that they do from sports nutrition and everything has changed.
Speaker 1: It's so much more in depth that you need to
Speaker 1: have the more space to be able to accomplish some
Speaker 1: of the things that you're you're trying to do. So
Speaker 1: this is long overdoing my opinion, and should have happened
Speaker 1: many years ago, and I'm glad to see that it
Speaker 1: is starting to happen. I almost wish to that, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, because you have the indoor facility now that's
Speaker 1: attached to Daily's place. You know, that can eventually be
Speaker 1: something that can be used for Daily's place, used on
Speaker 1: game day. But to be honest with you, that's not
Speaker 1: a big enough indoor facility for an NFL caliber team.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, it should be twice as big as
Speaker 1: what it is. Um So, I don't know if they
Speaker 1: have that in a plan when the idea was to
Speaker 1: give that back basically to the parks department in Jacksonville
Speaker 1: and okay, three hun days a year open to the
Speaker 1: public for different events or whatever they want. Absolutely absolutely,
Speaker 1: So it's exciting, I think. And I don't know exactly
Speaker 1: how or you know, how the money works on all
Speaker 1: this kind of thing, because that's that's not my area
Speaker 1: of expertise. I just my area of expertise is when
Speaker 1: it comes to football and what good for football and
Speaker 1: what's good for a football team. And I can tell
Speaker 1: you that if I'm a free agent in the National
Speaker 1: Football League and I'm looking around and looking at facilities
Speaker 1: at every team and the Jaguars and in the Minnesota Vikings,
Speaker 1: that it came down to those two and if everything
Speaker 1: else is equal, it's a no brainer. I'm going to Minnesota,
Speaker 1: right I mean, they have the best of the best.
Speaker 1: I mean, they have the best of the best right there.
Speaker 1: So I'm glad to see that that the steps are
Speaker 1: being taken to be able to accomplish something of this nature.
Speaker 1: And uh, and it's time. It's time, and I want
Speaker 1: to see the down I want to see downtown developed JP.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just remember coming here saying that, man,
Speaker 1: at some point, this is gonna be an amazing, thriving downtown.
Speaker 1: We're gonna see cranes. And when we travel to Nashville,
Speaker 1: the number of cranes that you see in the air
Speaker 1: is immense. When you travel to other cities, you see
Speaker 1: a lot of cranes as well, not as many as
Speaker 1: you saw in Nashville. But then when you come here,
Speaker 1: where's the I mean, where's the downtown development? And I
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what the answers. That's not my like,
Speaker 1: I said, that's not Mario of expertise. I do know this.
Speaker 1: The downtown is not where it needs to be at
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Jaguars owner Shod Con during the presentation
Speaker 1: earlier today. And things are looking up for the Jaguars
Speaker 1: and the city of Jacksonville. We have serious momentum here
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville and in particularly downtown. The door o apartments
Speaker 1: done in brad Street, the new f I S headquarters
Speaker 1: um and the rehab of historical buildings throughout downtown is
Speaker 1: truly inspiring. There's much more in when you add the
Speaker 1: promising future of the Jaguars to all that's happening. It
Speaker 1: certainly makes me happy and makes me really proud. But
Speaker 1: one thing about momentum, though, is you can't bank it
Speaker 1: and you can lose it, and we don't want to
Speaker 1: do either. We have the momentum and we're going to
Speaker 1: build upon it. That's Jaguar's owner shot Con earlier today.
Speaker 1: And of course we mentioned the Football Performance Center side
Speaker 1: of things. Seems like a big reason. Urban Meyer is
Speaker 1: sitting in the office across the hall these days and
Speaker 1: he's excited, certainly to see what happens in the coming years.
Speaker 1: I believe if we create the best environment in the
Speaker 1: National Football League, which is our intent, my vision, our
Speaker 1: dream is to have our players live and be part
Speaker 1: of this community, to train here, be part of Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? This is his beautiful places? Or
Speaker 1: is in America fifth Beach? In case you don't know that,
Speaker 1: there's great beaches fifteen minutes from here, and I think
Speaker 1: there's no state tax. If I remember right, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of great advantages to live in here, and then
Speaker 1: if we give them the best facility and best training,
Speaker 1: I see this as a destination place for for football players.
Speaker 1: That's Erban Meyer during the presentation today. He later spoke
Speaker 1: with the media after practice today and was answering some
Speaker 1: questions on this project, and he even went as far
Speaker 1: as saying, you know, if a guy goes to a
Speaker 1: specialist in Arizona because that guy thinks he's the best
Speaker 1: specialist for whatever urban said flat out here, you know
Speaker 1: I might go try to hire that specialist and bring
Speaker 1: him here, because why should a player have to go
Speaker 1: all the way to Arizona on their own dime when
Speaker 1: it should be all in house here. Same mindset he
Speaker 1: had in college as well for college players get the
Speaker 1: best around, really good talent and see how far you
Speaker 1: can go. Well, Urban came from the college arms race,
Speaker 1: which I mean, that's that's what life is in college football.
Speaker 1: It's about recruiting and it's not about how much can
Speaker 1: you pay a guy to determine whether he's gonna come
Speaker 1: to you or not. In college, it's about what kind
Speaker 1: of facilities do you have to be able to entice
Speaker 1: young men to con participate in your program so to
Speaker 1: be able to go from where he's been most recently
Speaker 1: Ohio State, I mean Ohio State. To hear facilities wise,
Speaker 1: I mean, I've never seen the facilities in Ohio State,
Speaker 1: but I would reckon it's a step down. Uh would
Speaker 1: I'd be right there? I mean, yeah, so and uh
Speaker 1: and he wants to be able to look if you
Speaker 1: want to be able to build a consistent winner and
Speaker 1: uh and obviously you want to win football games and
Speaker 1: all that should go hand in hand. You want to
Speaker 1: be able to have the best of the best. You
Speaker 1: want to have the best team, You want to have
Speaker 1: the best facilities, you want to have the best answers
Speaker 1: and uh, medical care, everything for a player, and you've
Speaker 1: got to be able to be willing to expend some resources.
Speaker 1: So I think it's First of all, I think it's
Speaker 1: it's great. I think the location is perfect for the
Speaker 1: sports complex. It encompasses essentially where the practice fields are at,
Speaker 1: eliminates one of the parking lots on the very h
Speaker 1: farther northern boundary of that area and then cuts into lot.
Speaker 1: Uh is that end that is the one immediately outside
Speaker 1: the practice facilities going towards I think it's a lot
Speaker 1: in correct. And and look there's plenty of room to
Speaker 1: do that, and then you can move it all the
Speaker 1: way back towards the stadium a little bit. So I
Speaker 1: mean it's it's a natural place to be able to
Speaker 1: do that. I like it. Have you reserved your residence
Speaker 1: yet at the four seasons because it will be condos
Speaker 1: in there too, Is that right? Yes? Not just hotel rooms, condos?
Speaker 1: And does that what I get season tickets is you

Speaker 1: Lockerman and the Jaguars are on the practice field again
Speaker 1: today O t A Week number two, Practice number six
Speaker 1: today part of a busy day at t i A
Speaker 1: bank field. We just went over the downtown development. Coming up,
Speaker 1: we'll here from Lollie Robertson Harris veteran defense environment added
Speaker 1: this year in free agency. But that will rain late
Speaker 1: and practice today. Some of the veterans were allowed to
Speaker 1: leave early, just to kind of throw them a bone,
Speaker 1: I think, and get him off the practice field after
Speaker 1: a few straight days of work. Some of the younger
Speaker 1: guys had to stay through the rain through the the
Speaker 1: end periods. Here a couple of guys out today, Not
Speaker 1: a big deal. Urban Meyer said after practice that they
Speaker 1: are expected back next week. Voluntary wouldn't matter anyway. But
Speaker 1: the Jacks did sign All Pro turn specialist Farrell Cooper
Speaker 1: the fourth round, picked by the Rams in out of
Speaker 1: South Carolina. Time with the Rams, Cardinals, Bengals, the Cardinals again,
Speaker 1: the Panthers then last season and wide receiver Terry god
Speaker 1: One placed on injured reserve. You know I logs you
Speaker 1: out there today, Trevor Lawrence. Last Thursday, let's say, had
Speaker 1: some red zone struggles. How do you look to you today?
Speaker 1: Overall and what were they working on. I thought he
Speaker 1: looked good. I thought he had some FROs that that
Speaker 1: we're really nice and he had some FROs that you
Speaker 1: sit there and go, you know, he's still learning and
Speaker 1: that that's that's probably what we're gonna see for a while.
Speaker 1: But then one thing is is that I will say
Speaker 1: is that when he knows as far as in his
Speaker 1: mind where the ball needs to go and his feet
Speaker 1: are clean, it's effortless. I mean, the ball is right
Speaker 1: where it needs to be and it's just effortless. But
Speaker 1: he's not gonna get to that point. Often in the
Speaker 1: process of being a rookie, it just doesn't happen. It
Speaker 1: just takes time. It takes time to be able to
Speaker 1: learn and to gain the confidence in the knowledge of
Speaker 1: how your body should be, in the anticipation that everything
Speaker 1: that you're gonna be reading. So that is a process
Speaker 1: and not a lot of people don't like that term,
Speaker 1: but it that's just a fact and that's the way
Speaker 1: it is. So but I will say this, and I
Speaker 1: had a conversation with somebody out there today that that
Speaker 1: doesn't work in football, but they work for the team
Speaker 1: and another capacity. And I was saying I said, the
Speaker 1: amazing thing about Trevor Lawrence is that this guy is
Speaker 1: is so far advanced and so well prepared for what
Speaker 1: he's getting ready to undertake that you couldn't ask for
Speaker 1: anything better. And it's it's obviously gonna have some really
Speaker 1: exciting moments, I think in the future, but it's just
Speaker 1: gonna take time. And uh, but I thought it was
Speaker 1: an excellent practice. I mean excellent practice because it was
Speaker 1: spirited and that guys were into it. And then when
Speaker 1: guys are into it, there's a competitive nature and it's
Speaker 1: a friendly competition. It's not a it's not a salty,
Speaker 1: you know, rub salt in the wound kind of competition
Speaker 1: to where guys are cussing at each other or anything
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, it's that's like how it happens
Speaker 1: in the studio. Sometimes we go a little little bit
Speaker 1: too far from time, but really friendly offense FIRSTUS defense
Speaker 1: banter arguments about was it a catch or wasn't in
Speaker 1: a catch where his feeding bounds were not in bounds.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's where you want to get out,
Speaker 1: where guys are competitive, but they're taking care of each
Speaker 1: other and being safe. And I thought that was a
Speaker 1: really good practice. I watched the offensive line do some
Speaker 1: work today and individuals and uh, and which is you know,
Speaker 1: that's it's hard to get a gauge with offensive and
Speaker 1: defensive line or at this point, you know, but but
Speaker 1: you just want to see how they're working. And the
Speaker 1: offensive line is working hard, working hard, and they look
Speaker 1: there's a couple of guys that look big. Now, I
Speaker 1: mean big Camerabon looks in great shape. Uh, Walker Little
Speaker 1: is not little. I mean you got to You've got
Speaker 1: two guys right there that are gonna be playing tackle,
Speaker 1: and you know, is it gonna be a competition. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think life is always a competition, so
Speaker 1: you might as well have to say it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a competition. But Walker Little is a big man too,
Speaker 1: just like Cam Robinson. When you see, for example, Will
Speaker 1: Richardson Jr. Standing next to Cam Robinson and Walker Little,
Speaker 1: there's no comparison. I mean, it's seriously just built different.
Speaker 1: Will Richardson Jr. Looks like he went to Juco. He's
Speaker 1: in Juco and that these are like or he's j V.
Speaker 1: And I say that I'm not trying to be hard
Speaker 1: on will I'm just saying that from a standpoint is
Speaker 1: that you know when you're you're a kid and you
Speaker 1: used to play football, and you would and you would
Speaker 1: see the other team come out of the tunnel, and
Speaker 1: your first and oppression was always always had an impact.
Speaker 1: And when it was a big team, you were like, WHOA,
Speaker 1: long night, they're really big. You know, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: they're really big. Okay, when Cam Robinson and Walker Little
Speaker 1: come out of the tunnel, you go, whoa, they're really big.
Speaker 1: You know, we've talked about this on probably this show,
Speaker 1: I know, on the Huddle Up podcast Wednesdays. You know,
Speaker 1: everything they've done this offseason, free agency draft, you're getting
Speaker 1: the height, weight, guys that can run. Basically, they're gonna
Speaker 1: get off the bus and look like they those two
Speaker 1: just talked about. Those two are gonna get off the
Speaker 1: bus and look really big. And but you tall corners
Speaker 1: is another way to look at a big, stout defensive lineman.
Speaker 1: And I focused just on the offense today and last
Speaker 1: year they had an offensive lineman, uh Trevor Wallace Sims.
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy is six five sixty pounds. You
Speaker 1: put him on the field with Cam and Little and
Speaker 1: you sit there and you go whoa and uh so
Speaker 1: Ben Bartsch looked like he's uh changed his body a
Speaker 1: little bit and he got a little bit of playtime
Speaker 1: today because there wasn't some there were some guys missing there.
Speaker 1: So that was good to see. And I watched the
Speaker 1: offense almost exclusively today and then I watched the team drills.
Speaker 1: But the team drills were highly competitive. The offense had
Speaker 1: good tempo, offensive lines working hard. Trevor Lawrence continues look good.
Speaker 1: And you know the other one that pressed me was Bethford.
Speaker 1: I thought Beth Word had a really good practice today.
Speaker 1: People are going to what was he play? Well, he's
Speaker 1: a quarterboard. I thought he had a nice day today.
Speaker 1: Now not along the lines of Trevor Lawrence, but I
Speaker 1: mean he he's got some energy to him and he
Speaker 1: had some nice rows today. Did you keep stats on
Speaker 1: the throws and practice today? No, I don't do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: apparently a lot of the reporters do, okay, and I'm
Speaker 1: just saying I'm not into that either. It's June three,
Speaker 1: it's eyeballs. I used the eyeball test, and maybe you
Speaker 1: know that's not very accurate. But the one thing I
Speaker 1: did notice is that there was. There was one guy
Speaker 1: on the eyeball test that he didn't play practice very well,
Speaker 1: and that was Gardner Minshew because he wasn't there. I
Speaker 1: don't know where he was. Its voluntary, so he can
Speaker 1: be urban sent as a personal day. He can be
Speaker 1: wherever he wants. I mean, so, I mean it doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: but he wasn't there today. And which you know, when
Speaker 1: when you're a quarterback and you're when you have four quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's harder to kind of divvy up the
Speaker 1: reps when there's three guys. Everybody's getting a lot of reps.
Speaker 1: And that's I think as if you're a quarterback, you
Speaker 1: probably love a day or one of the guys is
Speaker 1: missing and you only have three of you because then
Speaker 1: you get you get more reps. Yeah, and it's when
Speaker 1: you're competing for a roster spot or a backup quarterback position,
Speaker 1: because that's what everybody's competing for. They're not competing for
Speaker 1: the starting job. They think they are. They might want
Speaker 1: to have a conversation with somebody and you can say
Speaker 1: it's a competition and all this, Well, it's always a competition,
Speaker 1: but it's not I was gonna win. It's not. If
Speaker 1: he doesn't win, then we got bigger issues. We we
Speaker 1: know where that's gonna go. I mean, that's that is
Speaker 1: the quarterback position is not an open competition because it
Speaker 1: because if it is, it's still not a competition. Right.

Speaker 1: Robertson Harris. He was added in this offseason as a
Speaker 1: free agent from the Chicago Bears to help bolster that
Speaker 1: Jaguars defensive line and we caught up after practice today.
Speaker 1: Jaguars defensive lineman Roy Robertson Harris with us here we
Speaker 1: are in the off season program. First off, how are
Speaker 1: you settling into Jacksonville? Now that the teams here, the
Speaker 1: veterans are around, You got a bunch of rookies in.
Speaker 1: Everybody's on the field together. How are you settling in?
Speaker 1: So far? For me, it is just feels good about
Speaker 1: you know, being back in ball. Um. You know, I
Speaker 1: started me back in November. So just being around the
Speaker 1: guys and just being in the locker room and being
Speaker 1: able to play ball again is is A is A
Speaker 1: is a good thing for me mentally. Um, So just
Speaker 1: enjoying the process and join O t s and then
Speaker 1: get to count when it's time. It's got to be
Speaker 1: just a sickening feeling when you you're off to the
Speaker 1: side and can't do anything about it. All you can
Speaker 1: do is rehab. Right, how did you fight through the
Speaker 1: last few months to get ready? I'm just doing everything
Speaker 1: I'm told to do that's gonna help me prepare um
Speaker 1: to be out there. And um, so far, if thing
Speaker 1: has been great, I'm here, I'm playing ball. Again. So
Speaker 1: it's taken every day and just working. There's great participation
Speaker 1: in this offseason program. Not a lot of teams in
Speaker 1: the NFL can say that. Why is that the case
Speaker 1: here in Jacksonville? What is it about this place? We're
Speaker 1: just here to work. Man, we should have win games. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, we don't look at the past. Um, you
Speaker 1: know with the one if the team, but we're just
Speaker 1: trying to trying to flip everything that's happening right now.
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to win right now, trying to win
Speaker 1: games right now. That's it. Tell us about that group
Speaker 1: up front. A lot of some faces that are still
Speaker 1: around here from the past. You've got a bunch of
Speaker 1: new guys up front to there's a lot of work
Speaker 1: to be done on that defensive line. So how's everybody
Speaker 1: messed together so far? And take us through that group
Speaker 1: and and what can that group be this year? But
Speaker 1: I think we got a good group of guys up front,
Speaker 1: you know what with Josh and k on the edges
Speaker 1: and you know me Malcolm and uh, you know, we
Speaker 1: gotta we got a bunch of guys just all across
Speaker 1: the board that could play. And first little guys, Um,
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be very good up front. I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna be able to set the age, be
Speaker 1: stout on the run, do everything we need to do
Speaker 1: up front. That's where it starts, that run game. You
Speaker 1: can't stop the run, which was the case around here
Speaker 1: last year, then you're not gonna win the football game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta be stout up front. I think
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna be able to do this year.
Speaker 1: Where Robertson Harris is with us, Urban Meyer, you know,
Speaker 1: has always put his college players first, put them on
Speaker 1: a pedestal, help them get the best they can have
Speaker 1: around them. It feels like the case here too. What
Speaker 1: were your initial impressions of Urban when in the recruiting process,
Speaker 1: if you will, in free agency, and then now that
Speaker 1: you're around him on a daily basis in the building.
Speaker 1: He wants to win. Obviously, he's got a good resume,
Speaker 1: you know all over college football. One of the greatest
Speaker 1: coaches to coach um. But I think he's just coming in.
Speaker 1: He just wants to win. And uh, you know it's
Speaker 1: not like okay, we're starting here now, like okay, we'll
Speaker 1: win a few You're not now right now? Is you know,
Speaker 1: what we're trying to do is just give wins right now.
Speaker 1: So that's his uh, that's his thought process. That's the
Speaker 1: vibes get from him when I first got here. That's
Speaker 1: all we're trying to do. That's it. Final thought from
Speaker 1: me here. You've got two weeks left in this offseason program.
Speaker 1: What as a defense do you guys still need to
Speaker 1: get accomplished and what do you personally still want to
Speaker 1: get accomplished before the summertime shows out. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: just working, you know, my craft as a player, you know, um,
Speaker 1: run game wise and pass rushing. I'll just keeping my
Speaker 1: hands up and you know, working, working my hands and
Speaker 1: my feet real good. But you know it's a defense.
Speaker 1: I think we're just we're just trying to work. Every day.
Speaker 1: Every single day is a new day, and um, you know,
Speaker 1: we want to be one of the best defenses in
Speaker 1: the league, the best defense in the league. Turnovers and
Speaker 1: uh no, sacks, all that stuff is gonna come. But
Speaker 1: we just want to make sure we have the best
Speaker 1: effort and getting after everybody whenever the time comes. Great stuff.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Jackson, appreciated, thank you, thank you. That's Roy
Speaker 1: Robertson Harris today after practice. Here you hear the forklift
Speaker 1: behind us. There. We were in the hallway just outside
Speaker 1: the TV studio and that is a hot area. A
Speaker 1: lot of things happening outside the mail room there, which
Speaker 1: is okay. But we thank Roy for his time. And
Speaker 1: you know, he mentioned a couple of things there, the
Speaker 1: versatility of some of these guys on the defensive line
Speaker 1: able to move around, you know, changing different schemes at
Speaker 1: three four base for three principles, a lot of moving
Speaker 1: parts there. And then the stoutness of the interior of
Speaker 1: that defensive line is going to be key to be
Speaker 1: able to come close to slowing down the run game
Speaker 1: of another team. Well, I don't I don't think there's
Speaker 1: any doubt with the additions that they made with the
Speaker 1: defensive line that they're gonna be able to hold up
Speaker 1: against the run very well. Because you look at the
Speaker 1: Devon Hamilton's I thought last year had a really strong
Speaker 1: rookie season. Doug Costin was I think he showed that
Speaker 1: he's an adequate backup. You added John Ward, who's a
Speaker 1: big linebacker slash defensive end in free agency, and then
Speaker 1: when you get to some of the big guys. Uh,
Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown, big dude. Robertson Harris obviously is a big dude,
Speaker 1: and uh, and then you're bringing back uh the big
Speaker 1: man god sas. So I don't think there's any question
Speaker 1: that you're gonna have some stoutness and then be remiss
Speaker 1: if I didn't mention to faile the draft picks from
Speaker 1: s C. Who's a big, strong, stout guy who still
Speaker 1: hasn't played a while, been out a year, you know,
Speaker 1: And is he a one? Is he a three? I
Speaker 1: think he's a one. He played three. When I say
Speaker 1: one or three for people that are going, what are
Speaker 1: you talking about? A one would be like a nose tackle.
Speaker 1: A three would be more of a pass rush up
Speaker 1: the field defensive tackle type. And that's a numbering system
Speaker 1: that they used for where people are lining up. So
Speaker 1: I think he's more of a one. But I mean,
Speaker 1: all of these guys are stout, and I don't think
Speaker 1: because I've always believed that stopping the run is a
Speaker 1: big part of scheme number one and execution, I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not a big believer that you've gotta have a
Speaker 1: ton of talent stop the run. I'm just I'm just
Speaker 1: I think you can do it without a ton of talent.
Speaker 1: You gotta have some talent, but you don't have to
Speaker 1: be overly talented. I think where the talent comes in
Speaker 1: in is when you start to rush the passer, when
Speaker 1: you have to rush the pastor and you have to
Speaker 1: cover the wide receivers. To me, that's where the separation
Speaker 1: of talented defenses and teams that don't have talent occurs.
Speaker 1: And I think they still have some work to do now.
Speaker 1: Question is, can Josh Allen take a step back to
Speaker 1: where he was at a couple of years ago and
Speaker 1: maybe even even better, Can Calevan Chase on provide an
Speaker 1: adequate pass rush from the outside on the other side,
Speaker 1: And that's a big question mark because he didn't show
Speaker 1: a ton of ability last year and he's a first
Speaker 1: round pick and I'm not saying that that's his fault
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that, but he's got a lot
Speaker 1: to prove, and I think a lot of guys have
Speaker 1: a lot to prove. So I think that there's this
Speaker 1: this defense. It's gonna take a little bit of time
Speaker 1: to get up to where they want to be, But
Speaker 1: if you can stop the run, you got a chance
Speaker 1: and I think they will stop the run. We're talking
Speaker 1: about this and the time I've referenced the Huddle Up podcast.
Speaker 1: It's a free download on the official Jaguars to the
Speaker 1: show Man every Wednesday. So we're talking with Bucky about
Speaker 1: the Joe Cullen defensive scheme. And you know he came
Speaker 1: from Baltimore, of course, he was the D line coach there,
Speaker 1: but they were coming from everywhere on that defense, blitzing
Speaker 1: from all over. If you're let's let's not turn them
Speaker 1: into the Pittsburgh Steelers where they were sending and the
Speaker 1: Troy Polamalo and the hair's flying and corners are blitz in.
Speaker 1: And the point being quite like that point being if
Speaker 1: you have a lot of younger players, newer to the
Speaker 1: scheme players, that's a lot of moving parts and how
Speaker 1: you know, how quickly can a young player grabs some
Speaker 1: of those concepts. I think you have to be careful. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you have to be careful about how much of a
Speaker 1: playbook that you have because the more intricate the playbook is,
Speaker 1: the more the mind slows down because it's thinking and
Speaker 1: processing information instead of just sending an impulse to the
Speaker 1: body saying go four to six to B wants to
Speaker 1: keep it simple, right, and so Urban has talked a
Speaker 1: lot about this and it's playing fast. Joe Cullen talks
Speaker 1: about well, a little bit different language, but essentially it's
Speaker 1: the same thing. So you have to be careful with
Speaker 1: a young defense or should I say stressing the mind
Speaker 1: too much of a young player or even a veteran player.
Speaker 1: Some veteran players can't handle a game plan that gets
Speaker 1: a little bit much. I mean, that's just reality. So
Speaker 1: you'd like to be able to find there's always kind
Speaker 1: of a a resting place where you want to be,
Speaker 1: somewhere to where you know you're you're not too simple
Speaker 1: and making it easy on offensive coordinators, but then not
Speaker 1: too complex to where you're you're slowing your defense down.
Speaker 1: And somewhere there's a there's a place you need to be.
Speaker 1: And for every team and for level of experience that
Speaker 1: you have, it's always different for every team, and for
Speaker 1: a first year defense, they've got to find out where
Speaker 1: that's going to be at Let's come back, We'll go
Speaker 1: around the National Football League and the league could be

Speaker 1: fifty have signed up to try out for the rule
Speaker 1: of the Jaguars is. It's a huge number, So good
Speaker 1: luck to everyone trying out this weekend. Let's go around
Speaker 1: the National Football League. Let's do shall we? Abvery Jones,
Speaker 1: former Jaguars defensive tackle This moment ago Aaron Wilson on
Speaker 1: Twitter reporting that the Tennessee Titans have signed Avery Jones
Speaker 1: as ABS as he's known. He is by far one
Speaker 1: of one of the all time great solid guys to
Speaker 1: ever come through here. A great personality, Very love having
Speaker 1: a conversation with Avery. He's got a he's got a
Speaker 1: sense of humor about him. He will be you know
Speaker 1: when I say this seriously, he will be a great
Speaker 1: addition to any locker room. From from two standpoints. One,
Speaker 1: he's a solid football player. He's not a great football player,
Speaker 1: but he's a solid football player. And number two, his
Speaker 1: personality can make a room better and that means a
Speaker 1: lot in football now because it's it's not necessarily about
Speaker 1: how much talent you have, but it's also about how
Speaker 1: well the talent ends up getting displayed, and he certainly
Speaker 1: helps that. The Chicago Bears. According to a source of
Speaker 1: those sources you'd ever know, um said that they've already
Speaker 1: promised quarterback Andy Dalton that he'll start the season as
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback. I'll also have another quarterback they've just drafted.
Speaker 1: I don't know about the accuracy of that for a
Speaker 1: couple of reasons. One sources. Okay, and was it a
Speaker 1: beat writer or was it just some crazy run of
Speaker 1: the mill website that just popped up last night? Well, um,
Speaker 1: it's a great question. Well, then here's why I say
Speaker 1: that's crazy. Okay, Andy Dalton will sign or to be
Speaker 1: basically be their starting quarterback if they couldn't get one
Speaker 1: in the draft. Well, they got one in the draft.
Speaker 1: They got one in the first round, and they gave
Speaker 1: up a lot of equity to move up to to acquire.
Speaker 1: And why would you tell anybody that the job is
Speaker 1: yours week one? Because all of that will have to
Speaker 1: play out if the rookie comes in and outperforms the veteran,
Speaker 1: then the rookie plays. See that this is this is
Speaker 1: why there's some teams that always seem to fail, and
Speaker 1: that there are teams and coaches like Bill Belichick that
Speaker 1: continue to win because in Bill Belichick's Kate, you have
Speaker 1: you heard then say, well, Cam Newton's our starter week one?
Speaker 1: You know Mac Jones, Yeah, he's just gonna have to
Speaker 1: wait his turn. No, if Mac Jones is better than
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, mac Jones gonna play. If Cam Newton is
Speaker 1: better than Mac Jones for the entire season, guess what,
Speaker 1: Mac Jones ain't playing. I mean, that's that's the way
Speaker 1: it should always be. So how do you know what
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna look like when you get into August or
Speaker 1: getting ready for a game in September at this point.
Speaker 1: Now that's why I say, you know, consider the source. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So this came apparently from a radio interview with Chicago
Speaker 1: where Dalton said I was on a one year deal,
Speaker 1: I was going to be the starter. He stopped short,
Speaker 1: apparently of saying that's what he was told by the team,
Speaker 1: according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. But Florio
Speaker 1: was told that's what he was told by the team.
Speaker 1: There's your sources. I don't know whatever, you know how
Speaker 1: that goes? Uh. The NFL logs is planning to keep
Speaker 1: COVID related roster rules for having official yet still talking
Speaker 1: through it. An unlimited number of players returning from injured reserve,
Speaker 1: a minimum of three weeks on injured reserve when you're
Speaker 1: placed on there. Practice squads would stay at sixteen players.
Speaker 1: I like that, And the NFL p A and the
Speaker 1: NFL are still negotiating protocols for the rest of the
Speaker 1: league year involving everything else. But I like those rules.
Speaker 1: I like the expansion of the practice squad, and you know,
Speaker 1: the ability a little more flexibility in terms of roster movement.
Speaker 1: I always have always been a big fan of having
Speaker 1: expanded rosters and then a little bit more liberal I
Speaker 1: R rules. I thought the rules that they had in
Speaker 1: place for many years were a little bit archaic. I mean,
Speaker 1: why why not having more like Baseball? Used to be
Speaker 1: my argument all the time, because if a guy gets
Speaker 1: hurt and he's gonna be gone for seven weeks, then
Speaker 1: why not have the ability to put them on some
Speaker 1: type of short term my arm bring him back and
Speaker 1: then maybe if he's not ready, then you just don't
Speaker 1: bring him back to where you're you're not limited a well,
Speaker 1: you can only bring back a certain number of guys,
Speaker 1: and you know if he's hurt, you know, no, just
Speaker 1: make it more liberal, because it makes the game better
Speaker 1: when you can get better players on the field, right
Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of the thinking not I've always had,
Speaker 1: and I think that that's reasonable to think that. So
Speaker 1: I like the roster rules. It will be very interesting
Speaker 1: to see where they are. And I don't know if
Speaker 1: there will ever be an announcement as far as the
Speaker 1: because one of the reasons why I think that the
Speaker 1: roster rules are going to remain in places because what
Speaker 1: percentage of your players are going to be vaccinated? You know,
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that. And I think
Speaker 1: the league is essentially with those rules. And I think
Speaker 1: with the rules, they're saying, Okay, we're not sure where
Speaker 1: we're gonna be at. But they also liked the rules
Speaker 1: from last year regard list of where they're at. But
Speaker 1: I think with some of the players right now, I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're I mean, some guys aren't getting the vaccination,
Speaker 1: I get it, you know, So I don't know what
Speaker 1: the percentages are, but I don't think we'll ever know
Speaker 1: that's that's not really are until you get to the
Speaker 1: magic number and everything is just wide open, which is
Speaker 1: vaccination of the roster. And then I think, look the
Speaker 1: staff wise, I mean, I think nearly every team will
Speaker 1: be almost I would think from a staff standpoint, tier
Speaker 1: one and tier two from people that are around the
Speaker 1: players on a daily basis, I mean they would have
Speaker 1: to be. So I don't know, but but I'm glad
Speaker 1: they kept the roster rules in place, and and I
Speaker 1: trust me JP. I don't like it when it comes
Speaker 1: to game day because you're constantly changing your roster on
Speaker 1: game day and but now you keep up with it
Speaker 1: and it's not that big of a deal. But the
Speaker 1: better a team can be on game day with more
Speaker 1: players on all for it. Concussion settlement was in the
Speaker 1: news this week. Race Norman will be abandoned from the
Speaker 1: assessment of claims made in that settlement. Claims were apparently
Speaker 1: presuming lower baseline cognitive functioning for black players, making it
Speaker 1: harder for them to show that they suffered impairment. They'll
Speaker 1: now go back and review all the claims again without
Speaker 1: that baseline. How they had that in place. Uh is
Speaker 1: beyond me. Whoever wrote the book on what the rules
Speaker 1: we're gonna be well on the initial part of that, UM,
Speaker 1: not very smart. So they're gonna make that right now
Speaker 1: and let's see how many changes come moving forward on
Speaker 1: that one. And this is not NFL news, it's USFL
Speaker 1: news blogs. They're announcing plans to return in spring of two. Now.
Speaker 1: They had a three year run in the eighties. Of course,
Speaker 1: try to move games to the fall in n six
Speaker 1: and then the well the league folded after that was
Speaker 1: Donald Trump going to son know he's available. Spring league
Speaker 1: founded Brian General's right partner. Yeah, he did with the
Speaker 1: Fox Sports and they'll bring the league back as an
Speaker 1: eight team operation and the new entity now retains the
Speaker 1: rights to the original team names. So hello, Birmingham Stallions,
Speaker 1: welcome back, baby, you're gonna be the owner. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I can. I'm gonna play in that that level,
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think it's I think it's first
Speaker 1: of all smart by the u s FL and the
Speaker 1: individual what does his name for the USFL that is
Speaker 1: essentially the main player, Brian Woods. Okay, he is partnered
Speaker 1: with Fox Sports, which is smart. I mean because your
Speaker 1: revenue is essentially dependent upon the broadcast rights of the games.
Speaker 1: So to partner with a Fox Sports, two things happen. One,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to capture a revenue stream with
Speaker 1: broadcast television. Number two, you're essentially partnering with that broadcast
Speaker 1: entity to make sure that you don't lose that broadcast ability.
Speaker 1: So smart from from that standpoint, and also smart from
Speaker 1: the standpoint of that they do not need to try
Speaker 1: to compete with the NFL. If you do, you will fail,
Speaker 1: right right. They won that famous lawsuit, the monopoly law lawsuit,
Speaker 1: and then the I think the payout was three dollars
Speaker 1: or something in the USFL was was great for players
Speaker 1: at that time, great for players. And when I say
Speaker 1: it was great for players and and and it impacted
Speaker 1: I think long term. One, it gave competition for the players,
Speaker 1: which drove up the prices that players were able to
Speaker 1: to achieve because you had another party, You had another option.
Speaker 1: You know, you didn't have only one option playing the
Speaker 1: NFL or don't play at all. You had an option.
Speaker 1: Herschel Walker, Doug Flutie, Jim Kelly, Jim Kelly, Reggie White.
Speaker 1: I mean, all these people or players were in the
Speaker 1: USFL first because the money was better, and in order
Speaker 1: to attract and to keep the players in the NFL
Speaker 1: from all fleeing to go to the USFL, the NFL
Speaker 1: had to raise them their pay a little bit because
Speaker 1: the NFL was was notoriously cheap at about that time frame.
Speaker 1: So that was good for the game, good for the players.
Speaker 1: You have it, but I won't watch it. No, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not gonna watch us I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: watch it. What are you gonna watch? I'll watch golf, baseball. Well,
Speaker 1: if I have a choice between watching USFL or golf,
Speaker 1: I like watching golf when I need a n app, okay,
Speaker 1: But then you're not gonna watch us No, I joined
Speaker 1: I'm seriously, I enjoy watching golf, but seriously, when I
Speaker 1: need an app, I'll turn a volume down. And when
Speaker 1: Jim Nance starts talking all soft friends, you know, he
Speaker 1: starts talking whispering. He's approaching the tea and number five
Speaker 1: he needs to get it about three hundred yards and
Speaker 1: he's gotta avoid the trap on the right. There I go,
Speaker 1: And you'd be out faster on USFL probably probably, So yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I'm not looking for me, football is a fall sport,
Speaker 1: right unless you play in the spring, then it's the spring.
Speaker 1: It's it's like trying to fcs played in the spring
Speaker 1: this year because of the COVID stuff. They pushed them
Speaker 1: all back. Okay, it's not real. How many games did
Speaker 1: you watch? I didn't watch any exactly exactly. I was
Speaker 1: busy doing other things. I guess I don't. It's like
Speaker 1: trying to move hunting seasons to the spring. It doesn't work. Well,
Speaker 1: that's nature involved in a part of the reason for that, right, No,
Speaker 1: I mean not necessarily. No. Well, I mean we don't
Speaker 1: need to get into the detail, but I mean, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's it's it's like the same thing.
Speaker 1: It's like trying to move hockey to the summertime. All right,
Speaker 1: you gotta have ice, it's too hot. Does that make sense?
Speaker 1: If if hockey were in July and August, would you
Speaker 1: watch hockey? No, you don't watch You don't watch hockey. No,
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen. More on hunting schedules available on The
