And here's 12 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 3: what's coming up. The league year underway. Just about two 13 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 3: minutes ago. The Jaguars have agreed to terms with nine 14 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,279 Speaker 3: free agents. 15 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 2: And what's next. 16 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 3: So what's on the docket after those players have been 17 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 3: acquired by the Jags. 18 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 2: We'll get to it all coming up. 19 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 4: J P. 20 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 3: Shadrick with John Oser here at the Miller Electric Center 21 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 3: in the Hyundai Studios in. 22 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks is Western LA. And there you have it. 23 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 3: We're gonna get to the all the nine players the 24 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 3: Jags have agreed to terms with But it seems like overall, 25 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 3: Bucky that they filled some immediate needs for this team. 26 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. More important than filling the knees, they found guys 27 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 4: that could advance to the culture that these guys want 28 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 4: to create. When you look at some of the players 29 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 4: that are being brought over, there are some links and 30 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 4: some ties tailed Lincoln and company kind of established the culture, 31 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 4: kind of further that and spread the message to the 32 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 4: masses and so light with the Jaguars are done because 33 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 4: they've flown i would say, under the radar and didn't 34 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 4: try and win the off season hypefest, but concentrated really 35 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 4: on trying to assemble the really solid team that messes 36 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 4: well with the current players that are already established in 37 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 4: the locker room. 38 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 5: This is exactly what I hope they would be and 39 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 5: exactly what they set out to do. They had four 40 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 5: or five six spots that they wanted to make sure 41 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 5: Bucky knows what I'm about to say. I wanted to 42 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 5: make sure you could get lined up right. GMS like 43 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 5: to have a starting roster before the draft to make 44 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 5: sure that they don't have to reach during the draft, 45 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 5: so that you can go after guys who can truly 46 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 5: help you. You don't want to have a hole sitting 47 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 5: there at right guard and have to take a right 48 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 5: guard number three overall, So that's a bit of an exaggeration, 49 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 5: but that's what it's about. I would anticipate four or 50 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 5: five of these guys starting in week one, and I 51 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 5: would anticipate the next couple of drafts being about sending 52 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 5: these guys on their way, thanking them, making sure that 53 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 5: the pay is commiserated with the reward. 54 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 6: Hey, you got paid, We appreciate it. 55 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 5: They can be part of building this I think it's 56 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 5: significant that a lot of these guys have Rams and 57 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 5: Bucks and Vikings connections. Sure that all makes sense, and 58 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 5: I think this is what you want to do. When 59 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 5: you're switching cultures. You have to have guys who understand 60 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 5: that culture. 61 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: No doubt about that. Let's get to it. 62 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 3: And it seemed, you know, at least the guys you're 63 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 3: talking about that could be starters next year. Offensive line 64 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 3: secondary seemed to be big points for the leadership of 65 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: the Jaguars, and let's start Bucky on that offensive line. 66 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 3: After the retirement of Mitch Morris and Brandon Sheriff, it 67 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 3: was a focus going into free agency of course. So 68 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 3: Patrick McCarey comes from the Ravens reportedly three years, thirty 69 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 3: seven and a half million dollars. He's been with the 70 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 3: Ravens the last six seasons. We know how they play 71 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 3: the game on the offensive line. What does he bring 72 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 3: to the table? 73 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 4: Buck, He brings versatility. This is a guy that can 74 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 4: line up anywhere on the front line and have success. 75 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 4: But more importantly, he brings a guy that the last 76 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 4: few years he's played and played really well at a position. 77 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 4: This is a guy that had to jump in and 78 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 4: start some games at various spots, held up well even 79 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 4: though he's had some issues with penalties. I mean, he's 80 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 4: a rock solid starter. He is someone that's going to 81 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 4: help change the temperament along to the line of scrimmage. 82 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 4: And if you want to be able to play physical 83 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 4: football like them Cohen has talked about, you got to 84 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 4: have physical blockers, guys that love that part of the game. 85 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 4: McCarry is one of those guys that can help kind 86 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 4: of change the mindset in the mentality on their front line. 87 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, you can circle two words in what Bucky just said. 88 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 5: Temperament and physical. That's what this is about. That's what 89 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 5: the two offensive linemen are about I don't know that 90 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 5: at the end of their careers if McCary will be 91 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 5: considered a better player than Brandon Sheriff right in the 92 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,799 Speaker 5: arc of their careers. But right now, for this team 93 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 5: what it's trying to bring. They want to be able 94 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 5: to pick up third and one, or at least have 95 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 5: the defense believe that they have a chance to pick 96 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 5: up third and one, which sometimes it didn't feel that way. 97 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 5: The two interior offensive linemen, they're expected to start, and 98 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 5: you got here in a minute. 99 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 6: That's what they're about. 100 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 3: Senator Robert Hainsey from the Buccaneers, the other that you're 101 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,119 Speaker 3: referring to, reportedly three years, twenty one million dollars, started 102 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 3: every game with the Bucks in twenty two and twenty three. 103 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 2: It was a backup last season. 104 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 3: And again, John, it's about that that short yardage mentality 105 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 3: an idea up front. 106 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, and again this might be a case where over 107 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 5: the course of their career, is he's stratospherically better than 108 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 5: Mitch Morse, I don't know for right now. Is he 109 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 5: a physical brawler? You know, fights you kicking in the 110 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 5: teeth as you'd like to kick me. Jb that I don't. 111 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 5: That's what he brings that maybe Mitch Morse didn't quite 112 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 5: have last year, although Mitch played very well, you know. 113 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 5: So it's the run blocking, it's the physicality. This was 114 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 5: a decent pass blocking line last year. But this team 115 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 5: wants to be able to run and they want to 116 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 5: keep Trevor's feet from being rolled into during pass rush. 117 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 3: And Bucky he obviously was with Liam Cohen in Tampa's 118 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 3: so familiarity with what they want to get done offensively. 119 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, familiarity is he and being a center for Liam 120 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 4: Cohen's offense. You want to rely on the center to 121 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 4: make a lot of the line calls, the protection calls, 122 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 4: make sure that we're always in the right play. Maybe 123 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 4: he can alleviate some of that burden that is on 124 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence to make sure that the team is always 125 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,559 Speaker 4: in the right protection and those things. But what John 126 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 4: was kind of speaking to in terms of his physicality, 127 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 4: his Maller brother style, I mean, let's go back to 128 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 4: I mean, I guess I was a teenager when Roadhouse 129 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 4: came out and Patrick Swayze was throwing it and went 130 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 4: out the bar. That's kind of what you need, Like 131 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 4: you need some of those guys that can do some 132 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 4: of the dirty work. We talk about changing the temperament. 133 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 4: The only way you change the timperment you got to 134 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 4: change the people up front. And so the guys that 135 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 4: we're talking about McCrary and then him with Hainsey, we're 136 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 4: talking about two guys that are maller brawlers who love 137 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 4: to engage and I would say legal fisticuffs at the 138 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 4: point of attack. 139 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 5: Yeah, and getting back to the most important part of 140 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 5: this topic. Say what you about Roadhouse JP. 141 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 2: Huh. 142 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 5: When you scroll by and it's on, you always stop out. 143 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 4: It's crazy, get him out the bar. 144 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 5: You can make fun of it, but you always stop. 145 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 5: And you know, on a serious note, what Bucky said 146 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 5: about him being outuld help Trevor Lawrence that uh, beyond 147 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 5: the physicality, that's a huge part of this. 148 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 6: Uh. This is a guy. 149 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 5: Who knows the scheme, who doesn't have to think about it. 150 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 5: There will be times early in the season with Trevor 151 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 5: learning a new offense where it may not be second nature, 152 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 5: it's second majure to Hansen. 153 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 6: So that's a key. 154 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 3: Another offensive lineman, Schuma a Dooga from the Cowboys, started 155 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 3: ten games over the last two seasons combined, and Bucky 156 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 3: seems like he could add to the depth up front. 157 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, he certainly can add to the depth of front. 158 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 4: But another one, Yes, you got to understand there's a 159 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 4: theme that we're seeing. All of these guys are bruisers 160 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 4: at the point of attack. As much as I love 161 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 4: seeing the dancing bears, the guy guys that are nimble 162 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 4: to do all the cute stuff in pastbro at some point, 163 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 4: we've seen it. The last two or three years, we 164 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 4: haven't been able to run the football effectively when everyone 165 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,679 Speaker 4: in the stadium knew that we need to run it. Well, 166 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 4: the guys that we've added are all what I'll called 167 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 4: Marler brawler specialists. At the point of attack, we can 168 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 4: move by as you can move the furniture around the den. 169 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 4: And finally we should be able to run the ball 170 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 4: with any of the running backs that we have in 171 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 4: the backfield. 172 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, and look, when you're changing regimes, it's hard to 173 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 5: go after splashing free agency. First of all, thank goodness 174 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 5: they did, and I'm so tired of splashing. I just 175 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 5: want to towel off. So but it's hard to go 176 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 5: after splash because you spend all your money up top 177 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 5: when you're changing regimes, you know, it's not just about 178 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 5: having five offensive linemen. It's about having the sixth or 179 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 5: seventh and eighth guy that when guys inevitably get hurt, 180 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 5: you feel like you've got veterans who when the coach 181 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 5: turns around and says who's next, they don't want to 182 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 5: have a bad look on their face. 183 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 6: Going ooh's next. You know, you want to make sure 184 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 6: you have guys who can play. 185 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 5: So a lot of this was about making sure this 186 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 5: is not a twenty two man game. This is a 187 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 5: fifty three man game, and you had to get the 188 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 5: thirty seventh guy on your roster better to where they 189 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 5: know what they're doing. Back when they changed before JP, 190 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 5: you remember, I guess it was twelve or thirteen when 191 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 5: Dave and Gust came in. 192 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 2: That's thirteen ye. 193 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 5: Looking back, people involved with that said, we cut to 194 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 5: the cord too much and we were too young. It's 195 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 5: hard to draft and develop and have a functional roster 196 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 5: when all your players that you're turning to in a 197 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 5: crisis are second year guys or first year guys. Clearly, 198 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 5: this list a bunch of five six seven year guys. 199 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 5: When it turns to crisis and there's injuries next year. 200 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 5: They don't want to turn around and be turning to kids. 201 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 5: You have to have some grown men in the lineup, 202 00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 5: and that's what these signings were about. 203 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, look, it's about adding some maturity and experience to 204 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 4: that room, but also having guys that are experienced enough 205 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 4: to play but not on the tail end of their careers. 206 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 4: At some point. You want to have an offensive line 207 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 4: that can grow together, that can kind of move into 208 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 4: their prime collectively as a unit, as opposed to kind 209 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 4: of piece mill into the offensive line every year. Hopefully 210 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 4: we can get some of that connuity and consistency up 211 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 4: front and that will allow the offense to play at 212 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 4: a high level for years and years to come. 213 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 3: Let's move along now to the secondary. That certainly was 214 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 3: a focus, with not a lot of names really locked 215 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 3: into starting spots on the back end of the defense, 216 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 3: at least going into free agency, they got a couple 217 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 3: of names. Now Jordan Lewis from the Cowboys at the 218 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 3: nickel spot, three years, thirty million dollars a reported deal, 219 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 3: twenty of that guaranteed, and Lewis really gets some high 220 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 3: marks for his play in Dallas. Bucky over the years 221 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 3: in the nickel spot. 222 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, he guess he deserves high marks. He played well 223 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 4: last year. Last year was probably the best season of 224 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 4: his career. He had more opportunities than I want to 225 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 4: play inside, but playing outside. Having watched him, because this 226 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 4: is someone I watched as a teenager at camps and 227 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 4: these things. Always been a high IQ player, a feisty, 228 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 4: very competitive player. He is going to challenge guys on 229 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 4: the opposition, but he's also going to challenge our guys 230 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 4: to step up and kind of add a little nastiness 231 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 4: and swag to their game. Really good player, and when 232 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 4: I talk about being a good player, I'm talking about 233 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 4: the IQ, the diagnostic skills, the ability to read and 234 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 4: react quickly. Jordaane Lewis may be listed as a knikel, 235 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 4: but most teams talked about the nickel being the twelfth starter. 236 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 4: This is a really, really good starting nickel cointerback one 237 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 4: of the best in the league. 238 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, as we talked about the offensive line, both of 239 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 5: the secondary editions were basically as you alluded to, JP 240 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 5: being able to get lined up. I mean realistically, on Saturday, 241 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 5: Tyson Campbell was your starter and after that, so. 242 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 6: You know, I think Wind guard fits. 243 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 5: Beyond that, they had to have some guys, and I 244 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 5: still think this is a big draftable position. But everybody 245 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 5: talked about the line coming into free agency, Bucky, the 246 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 5: secondary was a place where I think they felt like 247 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 5: they had four or five six spots that they had 248 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 5: to figure out and upgrade. So I see the draft 249 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 5: still being a big deal for this. I didn't mean 250 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 5: to get off in the draft, but I still think 251 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 5: this was the start of the rebuilding of the secondary 252 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 5: because it probably had as far to go as the 253 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 5: offensive line. 254 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 4: I'm with you looking at the unit of the last 255 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 4: couple of years. Think about the number of deep balls 256 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 4: that are just flown over top of the defense, the 257 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 4: number of blown coverages that we have, the mis tackles 258 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 4: in space. All of those things reflect a bad defense, 259 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 4: the defense that didn't play well in last year. I mean, 260 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 4: all those vadas fade like we're just terrible on defense. 261 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 4: I would say that there aren't any sacred cows in 262 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 4: the back end, with the exception of Tyson Campbell, and 263 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 4: some of that will be due to his contract. Everybody's 264 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 4: gonna have to earn their spot and it'll be refreshing 265 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 4: to see an open competition to determine who are the 266 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 4: best four or five six defensive backs that need to 267 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 4: be on the field in those crucial moments. 268 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 5: So I'm assuming Bucky, you and I have talked about 269 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 5: nickel back before. It's maybe my favorite position on defense 270 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 5: just because of the versatility that takes, and I think 271 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 5: it might be as important as a starting outside guys. 272 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 5: Is Lewis just nickel? Could you see him ever playing outside? 273 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 5: Or does it matter in today's NFL? I guess everybody's 274 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 5: playing in such different spots. Maybe it doesn't matter that much. 275 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 4: I mean like it matters in terms of what he's 276 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 4: most comfortable with. It matters in terms of pay, because 277 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 4: the guys on the outside ever wants to make the 278 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 4: eighteen nineteen million dollars like Tyson Campbell, the guys that 279 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 4: primarily play in so the Jay Lewis like they make 280 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 4: but they make like ten million annually. I want to 281 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 4: put him in the best position for him to be 282 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 4: the guy that we saw on tape in Dallas, and 283 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 4: that primarily should be in the slot. Quickness, instincts, awareness, overall, 284 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 4: feel for pattern reading. He shows all of those things 285 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 4: in the slot. He can go outside, but when he 286 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 4: goes outside. Sometimes the size deficiency can be an issue, 287 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 4: but he's a talented player, and sometimes John and JP 288 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 4: it's about putting the best five or six defensive backs 289 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 4: on the field and then figuring out where they need 290 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 4: to kind of slot into to allow the team to 291 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 4: match up best with the opponent. Will also allowing guys 292 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 4: to play their best individually. 293 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 3: The final secondary player, Eric Murray from the Texans, also 294 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 3: is with the Chiefs of the Browns earlier in his 295 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 3: career three years, twenty two and a half million, twelve 296 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 3: of that guaranteed, and just kind of goes into the 297 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 3: discussion of starting caliber players on the back end. The 298 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 3: news is right around the corner, and the time to 299 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 3: get your twenty twenty five season ticket membership is right now. 300 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 3: Be at the bank for every touchdown. Secure your seats 301 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 3: at Jaguars dot com, slash tickets or by calling nine 302 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 3: zero four six three three two thousand. 303 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 2: It's a good ticket buying music. 304 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 3: It's Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks, JP, Shadwick and John Oser. 305 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 2: It's the start of the league. 306 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 3: Here a special live video version of Huddle Up with 307 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 3: Bucky Brooks. 308 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 2: As the clock struck four o'clock Eastern. 309 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 3: And we are officially now in the NFL world in 310 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. So free agents are agreed to terms 311 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 3: now and for remaining for the Jaguars to get to 312 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 3: all on the offensive side. Diame Brown wide receiver from 313 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 3: the Commanders. With Kirk now officially traded to the Houston Texans, 314 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 3: Gabe Davis coming out of injury, you gotta have John 315 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 3: some guys that can go out there and perform. 316 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think this was I think he starts. 317 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 5: I think he's opposite and Thomas Junior and now gives 318 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 5: them two guys with speed to be able to beat 319 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 5: the defense once Kirk and Ingram left. Which I said, 320 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 5: before those news had to be made, I would have 321 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 5: made them, but it does. It did leave you a 322 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 5: situation where Gabe Davis, who you're not sure what he's 323 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 5: going to bring next year because of injury and you know, 324 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 5: because of production last year and in Parker, Washington, I 325 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 5: don't know that he's quite you know, front line reliable guy. 326 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 5: Yet I think he's still moving toward that. So Bucky, 327 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 5: this guy really came on at the end of last year, 328 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 5: shined in the playoffs. The Cynics would say, not a 329 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 5: lot of productions so far. 330 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 6: Where's he at? 331 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 4: Well? The number one thing? He kind of breaks the 332 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 4: jinks because the Jaguars haven't been as good as they 333 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 4: could be because they hadn't had enough tar heels on 334 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 4: the roster. And now we finally got a tar heel, 335 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 4: a tar heel wide receive on the roster. I feel 336 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 4: like things are looking up. The Jammy Brown is a 337 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 4: big place, specially for us. He really came on like 338 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 4: gang busses in the postseason. Have fourteen catches average about 339 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 4: seventeen yards per catch and just looking at the b 340 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 4: roll in the cliff, his speed is real. Now you 341 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 4: have an opportunity to put two fast guys on the perimeter. 342 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 4: And if we can establish a running game, and we've 343 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 4: seen Trevor's at his best when he's able to run it, 344 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 4: play action, pull it and throw it down the field. 345 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 4: We need more explosive plays because explosive plays lead the points. 346 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 4: Deanmy Brown is a point scorer. Should have this offense. 347 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought they've had about the right number of 348 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 5: tarriers on the roster, l ADJP, But. 349 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 4: Haven't we We haven't. We haven't been able to win. 350 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 4: We don't have enough guys that have pedigree. We need pedigree, 351 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 4: pedigree players to be able to get it done. 352 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 6: Will we playing hoops? 353 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 2: I don't know what we're playing. 354 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. 355 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 3: There By the way, Brown with three hundred and eight 356 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 3: yards in the regular season as a whole, two twenty 357 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 3: nine in the playoffs, including a ninety eight yard game 358 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 3: against Detroit and a touchdown with eighty nine yards against 359 00:17:58,720 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 3: Tampa in. 360 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 2: The first week of the playoffs. Last season. We go 361 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 2: to tight end. 362 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 3: Now, a pair of tight ends come in, Shohnny Munn 363 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 3: from the Vikings, Hunter Long from the Rams, Bucky Well, 364 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 3: you gotta have some tight ends if you get to 365 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 3: play in the NFL. What do you like about these guys? 366 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 4: Well, what I like about him is one to familiarity, 367 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 4: Like you have guys that have come over that have 368 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 4: been familiar with the system that's going to be in place. 369 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 4: They know the coach. The coach knows them, he understands 370 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 4: how to put them in roles to go about it. 371 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 4: But what we're seeing is is a bit of a 372 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 4: change in terms of how the tight end position is used. 373 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 4: Instead of being used primarily like Evan Ingram was basically 374 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 4: a jumble wide receiver with a tight end label. Now 375 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 4: we're gonna get true tight ends, guys that can put 376 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 4: their hand in the dirt and do some of the 377 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 4: things that we want to see on the edges. Yes, 378 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 4: catching passes is a big part of it, but you 379 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 4: also got to be able to kind of get down 380 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 4: there and get your nose dirty. And so now the 381 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 4: combination of guys that we have at tight end plus 382 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 4: Brandon Strange last year, you feel like you have a 383 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 4: more complete room in terms of having guys that of 384 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 4: all the skills that you need when you want to 385 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 4: put multiple y's and f's and flexes on the field. 386 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 5: Beyond the physicality bucket, Is there something to this offense 387 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 5: that makes familiarity at the tight end position important in terms. 388 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 6: Of what those guys are asked to do. 389 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 5: Is it complex so that it's good for them to 390 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 5: have experience running in this system? 391 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 4: Well, and look, it may be complex enough, like we 392 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 4: won't know until we get up under the hood and 393 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 4: see the nuts and boats of what's going on in 394 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 4: OTA's and mini camps and those things that I know 395 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 4: you can't look you can't wait to look forward to 396 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 4: you wait can't and thinking about running multiple tight end 397 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 4: offense and the way you know these teams have operated 398 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 4: in the past. We think about the Vikings and in 399 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 4: the Rams like multiplicity is everything, interchangeability is everything. Having 400 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 4: guys that are similarly built, similarly skilled, allows you to 401 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 4: really change and kind of rearrange the formations to put 402 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 4: guys in the best position to impact the game based 403 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 4: on their talents. 404 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 3: And then the final player agreed to terms with the 405 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 3: Jaguars quarterback Nick Mullins from the Vikings. Now we'll be 406 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 3: here to back up Trevor Lawrence. And Mullins has been 407 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 3: around a little bit in his career San Francisco three years, 408 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 3: had some starting time there at twenty twenty one with Cleveland. 409 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 3: Now the last three years in Minnesota John and Nick 410 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 3: Mullens coming to Jacksonville. 411 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't pretend to be able to break down 412 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 5: arm strength on Nick Mullens. I can tell you that 413 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 5: from a you know, changing regimes, bringing in a new 414 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 5: offense with the age that Trevor Lawrence is at quarterback, 415 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 5: I didn't know it was going to be Nick Mullins, 416 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 5: but the bullet points on what he brings fits exactly 417 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 5: what you would bring a quarterback who you know, is 418 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 5: going to be the starter. He's been in this offense. 419 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 5: He knows Yudinsky so clearly that Yudinsky knows that when 420 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 5: it's just Trevor and Nick in the film room, clearly 421 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 5: they believe if Trevor has a question, Nick can say, well, yeah, 422 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 5: here you go to this guy in this situation, or 423 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 5: you're looking for this coming off the edge a bucky. 424 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 5: He's sort of the cookie cutter backup, right. 425 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a cookie cutter, backup. He's been in this 426 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 4: system for a long time. He understands the ins and 427 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 4: out seven, so that would allow him to get out 428 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 4: of the game. But i'ma be honest with you, I 429 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 4: hope Nick Mullins never plays a down in a regular 430 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 4: season game for the Jaguars, because that means that Trevor's 431 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 4: available for all seventeen games. Hopefully we get a chance 432 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 4: to see him play three games in the preseason. We enjoy. 433 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 4: We feel good about what he's able to do running 434 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 4: the offense and being the guy that can help Trevor 435 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 4: in the bullpen because he is look doesn't have the 436 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 4: arm talent that Trevor does, but he certainly has enough 437 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 4: to be able to close our games, and when you're 438 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 4: looking for backup quarterbacks, you're looking for guys who have 439 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 4: to have to play and play in a pinch that 440 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 4: can get you out of two maybe three games before 441 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 4: the start of returns. He is good enough to do that. 442 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 2: Just hold that tablet on the sideline. That's yeah. 443 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 6: We'll see during OTAs too. 444 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll get a lot of that time. 445 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 4: And I hope, I hope that you're charting. I hope 446 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 4: that you're able to chart him and give me like 447 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 4: a little hit. 448 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 6: I'll be charting something I can see. 449 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, we go chart, we chart. 450 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 5: Chart is complete time until end of practice. 451 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, the clock is the chart.

Because this 507 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 4: is a time where the guys working with the strength coaches. 508 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 4: Eventually you have an opportunity to have an extra mini 509 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 4: camp because of the new coaching staff, and then for 510 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 4: the scouting staff is looking if you can find any 511 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 4: bargain pickups guys that after that first week of free agency, 512 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 4: the price tag has come way down and they're a 513 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 4: little more amenable to coming in to compete and to 514 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 4: sign a team friendly deal to be a part of 515 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 4: the team. I would look for some of those things 516 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 4: to kind of take place. As John talked about, Hey, 517 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 4: we can get lined up, but you're trying to fully 518 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 4: bake it out with some of your backups, some of 519 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 4: your special teams candidates that can help you as you're 520 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 4: trying to build the most competitive rosters that you can 521 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 4: have going into training camp. 522 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think anything else will be based on things 523 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 5: that happen going forward. Maybe players released, and as Bucky said, hey, 524 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 5: this is a guy whose contract is way way down 525 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 5: in terms of the first sort of the part of 526 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 5: free agency that they plot out beforehand, they're done. That 527 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 5: doesn't mean that you're not looking at the roster every day, 528 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 5: and if circumstances changed, then you change it. But this 529 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 5: is what they think of as free agency so far, 530 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 5: and now after that it'll be it'll be moves. 531 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 3: As merited Bucky, thanks for the time as always and 532 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 3: certainly the insight and will catch you again next week? 533 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 2: How about that? 534 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 5: No? 535 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 4: Thanks, whoever's in charge of the booking team.
