00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,079
Speaker 1: and this is our weekly look at the best of

00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: Jaguars broadcast and digital shows from the past week, including

Speaker 1: rookie linebacker Shack Quarterman getting love from his Jacksonville area

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: high school, and l A Times reporter Sam Farmer provides

8
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: an update on the state of affairs in California. Let's

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: start this week with Monday's ozone podcast. Each week, senior

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: writer John Osier has an extended visit with a special guest,

11
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: and this week it was longtime Sports Illustrated writer turned

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: NFL Network reporter Michael Silver. During past draft Silver has

13
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: been embedded with the Jaguars during Draft Weekend, getting an

14
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: inside look at how the organization functions. This year, he

15
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: was on the inside virtually with Dave Caldwell during round one.

16
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: The conversation with you went through all that, of course,

17
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: but it also covered the return of Caldwell and head

18
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: coach Doug Moron in the first place with an ownership perspective.

19
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: Maybe you guys get this but I think those of

20
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: us who were looking at this from afar may not

21
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,919
Speaker 1: have appreciated how important those last few games were. When

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: Minshew came back and beating the Raiders in Oakland was

23
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: not a small thing. That was a huge, huge, huge

24
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: game for the Oakland Raiders. They really really wanted that

25
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: for their fans and that they were abandoning, and it

26
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: meant a lot to the coach and to the players,

27
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: and that was a you know, pretty impressive thing for

28
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: them to do. And then to to win again, uh,

29
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: you know at the end, and to have Minshew looked

30
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: good and it could have been laying down at that point, yeah,

31
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: or even just you know, we weren't good enough. We

32
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: didn't lay down, but we weren't good enough. And I

33
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: think that would have probably provoked a different type of

34
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,279
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, probably change to coach too, and maybe

35
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: change the GM two and start over. But they came

36
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: out of that thinking, you know what, maybe we have

37
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: something to build around here. Um. Dave Coble did get

38
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: us to that point in twenty seventeen where we felt

39
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: like we were on the verge. What we can get

40
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: rid of the players that we think are not you know,

41
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: part of the culture we want to establish. We can

42
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 1: stockpiled draft picks and cap space. And if we hit

43
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: in the draft and we make some smart moves and

44
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: Minshew is what we think he is, Um, then maybe

45
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: will be better quicker than people think. And and and

46
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: Doug has proven something us to what we saw in

47
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: So that's that's what they're thinking. But um, you know,

48
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: I I think they get now and probably got then,

49
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: but now they get even more now that even if

50
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: you're smart and well meaning and aggressive, you don't always

51
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: know at a lot of it sometimes is out of

52
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: your control, even if you do know. So I think

53
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: if anything, they've shown that they're willing to cut their

54
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: losses and change course, and they didn't come the fact

55
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: that they didn't completely blow it up. Time will tell

56
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: whether that was the right decision. But I at least

57
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: respect the philosophy because that's the easiest. The easiest thing

58
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: to do always is to blow it up. And I

59
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: think that's what fans and media people gravitate toward because

60
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: we get frustrated. The full podcast available on Jaguars dot

61
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: Com or the official Jaguars podcast channels next week. It's

62
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: a certain popular former middle linebackers scheduled to join John Osier.

63
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: Let's move to Jack's Drive time Tuesday morning, Ashelan Sullivan,

64
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: Brian Sexton and John Oser got into a Leonard for

65
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: Net discussion. He's entering his fourth season and the team

66
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: did not take that fifth year option, so this is

67
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: a contract season for number twenty seven. But now that

68
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: there has been new that there's been conversations between the

69
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: coaching staff and Leonard, for Dave Carl to now come

70
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: out and say all these positive things, say we're going forward,

71
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: definitely seems like a talk was necessary and it was

72
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: a good talk. I'm sure it was fine. I mean,

73
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: it's he's under contract. Uh, there was talk that they

74
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: were looking to trade him during the draft. He is

75
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: playing in what is clearly the final year of his

76
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: deal after they didn't pick up the option. I think

77
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: right now people want to make a big deal out

78
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: of this because it's fifty year option time, and this

79
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: is what's being talked about. Bryan. Guys play in the

80
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: last year of their deal all the time. Guys play

81
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: when there's been trade talk about him all the time.

82
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: He's a running back, Leonard go run the ball blocked

83
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: for Minshew when it's you don't have to be happy.

84
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: You don't have to you know, there's so much talk

85
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: with Beyond and the Leonard thing about are they happy,

86
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: are they getting along with management? Are they gonna say

87
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: things on social media? Who cares? Nobody's happy? Brian, just

88
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: go play football? Are you all guys? Are? Um? I

89
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm kind of enjoyed myself. Right. Uh, fine,

90
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: you're the lucky one, yeah, I guess. Um, look at

91
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: it this way, he is either your best or your

92
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: second best offensive player, right, who had a thousand yards

93
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: and eight touchdowns and made some big plays. But you know,

94
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: this guy had sixteen hundred plus yards. Now, he didn't

95
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: find the end zone very often, but he had what

96
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: seventy six catches. I'd say Leonard for nette was your

97
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: best all around offensive player. With the idea that there

98
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: are some young emerging players who you will hopefully see

99
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: in well, I mean, why is he a big deal

100
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: to bring back your best offensive player? It's not bringing

101
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,679
Speaker 1: back let's go, right, And whether he's happy or not happy,

102
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: whether all that. Even if he's unhappy, which if he is, okay,

103
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: that's fine, he still has major incentive to be very

104
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: good this year. He's on a contract year. You think

105
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: this guy is not going to be motivated there? He

106
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: will be fine. I don't think he'll be here one

107
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: But running backs are plug and play in this league.

108
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: He plays this year, goes play somebody somewhere else. They

109
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: either play Armstead or a draft pick next year. It's fine.

110
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: They won't be happy either. It'll be fine. Quick story.

111
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: Uh was walking down the hallway one day talking to

112
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: Ben Coleman back in the early days, and Tom Coughlin

113
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: came by and find Ben for doing an interview outside

114
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: the locker room. Okay, I turned away, WHOA, you can't

115
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: do that. I was just talking to him because he

116
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: knows the rules, I said. But then he won't talk

117
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: to me. You know what Tom said. Football is not

118
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: a fun game. It's not a nice game. I don't

119
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: want guys in that locker room comfortable. Okay. Football is

120
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: not a game for well adjusted men. I don't need

121
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: them all to be happy. In fact, I don't want

122
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: them to be. I like the little tense, little edge

123
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: in that locker room. That's what makes them great. On Sundays.

124
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: No one's happy around here except that's right, right, John?

125
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: Who cares happy, happiness is overrated. Another Wednesday means another

126
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: Jaguars Instagram live interview. This week, Ashman Sullivan caught up

Speaker 1: style in college was really unique and how it might

132
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: change going into the NFL. But you're a very vocal leader.

133
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: How do you foresee that maybe changing in the NFL. Well,

156
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: has Quarterman seems full of energy and you can see

157
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: the full interviews each Wednesday on Instagram Live and their

158
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: archived on Jaguars dot Com late in the week. We

159
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: also heard this week from newly acquired free agent tight

160
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: end Tyler Eiffort in a Thursday video conference that was

161
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: interrupted by his dogs getting loose and him having to

162
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: chase them down. Mark Long of the Associated Press asked

163
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: about playing sixteen games in a season for the first

164
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: time in his career last season, and the answer gave

165
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: us some insight to the mindset of an athlete dealing

166
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: with injuries. It was great to play all sixteen games,

167
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: just staying staying in that grind with the team that

168
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: that says throughout the season. You know, it's a it's

169
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: a long year and it's a grind. But just to

170
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: just to go through all that with the guys was

171
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: it was awesome. You know, I've I've had some bad

172
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: luck with injuries. That was. That was my first sixteen

173
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: game season, which is pretty crazy. But once I once

174
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: I did get through it, I'm like, I thought, it

175
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: was a lot easier than you know, than I than

176
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: I expected. It's just it's not easy. But I can't

177
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: figure out why why I had to keep getting hurt,

178
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: because um, it would have been nice to to play

179
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: a lot more full seasons, but uh, you know, you

180
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: just you just roll with the punches. It's it's a

181
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: violent game. It's a dangerous sport, and you know, I

182
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: just always try to control what I can control and

183
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: give my best effort on the field and put myself

184
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: in the best position to succeed. If I had a

185
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: step back, then then then you deal with it and

186
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: you get better and you come back the next year.

187
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,599
Speaker 1: So it was good to play all sixteen games. So

188
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: do you feel like it was a breakthrough for you

189
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: personally or maybe even psychology psychologically mentally, every every injury

190
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,599
Speaker 1: that I've had, once I get back to full, full go,

191
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: it's out of my mind. I'm not even thinking about

192
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: it again. Yeah, there's certain things that I have to do,

193
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: you know, with all the injuries, you know, just to

194
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: make sure my body is feeling good. And I've learned

195
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: over the years how to how to get myself ready

196
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: to play and the things that I can do to

197
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: help help prevent injuries and those types of things. But

198
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: once you step on the field, I mean, there's no

199
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: there's no thinking about getting hurt or anything. I'm just

200
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm balls to the wall, full go. The full visit

217
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Jaguars broadcast weekend review presented by

218
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: t I A A Bank. Let's fast forward to the

219
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: end of the week. Head coach Doug Maron held his

220
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: weekly Friday video conference with the media, and the questions

221
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: varied this week as always, but ESPN reporter Mike Doroco

222
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: asked Maron about quarterback Josh Dobbs and his recent NASA externship,

223
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: where he worked with NASA engineers on a new space

224
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: launch system. Dobbs has a degree in aerospace engineering from

225
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: the University of Tennessee, and as part of a fairly

226
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: brainy quarterback room with the Jaguars. I know the wonderlick

227
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: isn't the end all be all, but I think him

228
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: and Gardner both had forty plus on that test. So

229
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: that might give you the smartest quarterback room in the league. Hey, listen,

230
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: we'll challenge any team in the league all right to jeopardy.

231
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: You know, with our quarterbacks. I feel pretty damn confident

232
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: about it. But that's the problem. We're not playing We're

233
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: not playing jeopardy. We've got to make sure that you

234
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: know that that those things, uh people you know, to

235
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: what they do out on the field. Uh, it's funny.

236
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: We have a player. We have a guy that works

237
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: in Nick Silvern. I don't know. You know some of

238
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: you guys Ashley knows Nick and people are working around

239
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: the office. Well, I had Nick with me in in

240
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: New Orleans. You know, he played offensive line at Harvard.

241
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,239
Speaker 1: He worked for our organization. Now, Uh, really really bright guy.

242
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: So you know we had him in a room and

243
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, if he ever jumped off side, I'd always

244
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: go Harvard, my ass. You know what I'm saying. You know,

245
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: So I think I think it's I think it's great.

246
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: I think it's uh, you know, great being around people

247
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: like that. But you know, when it comes to the

248
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: football stuff, Um, you know, you've got to be able

249
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: to take that knowledge and be able to perform on

250
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: the field. Archive of those calls always available on Jaguars

251
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: dot Com and now Jaguars Happy Hour presented by Tito's

252
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: Handmade Vodka. And there's Thursday at four o'clock on tinton

253
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: A m and Jacksonville and the Jaguars social media channels.

254
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: Pride of the Jaguars left tackle Tony Vasselli joined us

255
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: for the first time in a few weeks. He has

256
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: the Jaguars going eleven and five this season. As we

257
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: went down the schedule together, but we also discussed the

258
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: league as a whole and what this early season could

259
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: look like, and then I would compress the when you

260
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: have the non conference games later in the season as well,

261
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: And so I can't I can't see them getting rid

262
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: of h division games. I think those are be the

263
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: last to go because of just Equita making sure you

264
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: have an Equita little schedule, because you can't. You know,

265
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: the Jags can't play the Titans only once, and have

266
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: you know other teams have to play in twice and

267
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. So I think that's probably

268
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: the way this thing goes. Um. I wouldn't be surprised.

269
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: I think we're playing football this fall. I'm probably heavy

270
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: on the side will we'll start somewhere near on time.

271
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll be preseason football as we know it.

272
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: Maybe teams practicing together and try to control the atmosphere

273
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more, you know, but I could I

274
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: can see a scenario where this thing and I think

275
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: it all depends on the next several months ago, and

276
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: the NFL does have more time than anybody else obviously,

277
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: and they really set themselves up, which the contingency plans

278
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: to have options. And I think it was back in

279
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: two I want to say, on the shortened strike season

280
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: that they played ten games, so I had to playoffs

281
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: to have Super Bowl, and so they have a lot

282
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: of options, you know, And I think they can kind

283
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: of see where this thing oos and see how their

284
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: teams are doing and how the states. It's kind of

285
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: what the the state of the Union is. I mean,

286
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: we really don't know what's gonna happen with this virus.

287
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's the only thing we know.

288
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: Is it gonna come back, is it gonna disappear, Is

289
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: the treatment's going to get better? So many unknown their japies.

290
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of a wait and see, but

291
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: you can see how the NFL kind of set themselves up.

292
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: Earlier in the show, we went out to Los Angeles,

293
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: California to visit with l A Times NFL reporter Sam Farmer.

294
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: Last year, Farmer won the Dick McCann Memorial Award and

295
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: was honored at the Pro Football Hall of Fame and

296
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: shrinement ceremony. It's commonly referred to as the Writer's wing

297
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. He's been covering the NFL

298
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: for the l A Time since two thousand, for most

299
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: of those years without an NFL team in the city.

300
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: Now there are two teams in l A, both about

301
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: to play in a new stadium this year, but with

302
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: the coronavirus restrictions not easing as quickly as in some

303
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: other locations, there's the possibility of no football in l

304
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: A this year. We asked about the state of affairs

305
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: on a day to day basis in Los Angeles and

306
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: what the future could hold for the Rams and Chargers.

307
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: It's starting to open a bit. It feels like it's

308
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: starting to open a little bit. You know, I'm going

309
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: to play around of golf next week, not as my

310
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: son was in Jacksonville certainly not as open as Jacksonville

311
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: was last week, but you know, it's still weird. It

312
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: still feels like a science fiction movie. Uh. And then

313
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: you hear that l A Health officials saying another three

314
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: more months. I just I don't know how the people

315
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: are going to stand for that. I mean, three more

316
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: months of shelter at home is really tough. But they

317
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: are opening up the beaches and the trails are open,

318
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: so that's good. But I just don't know if there's

319
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: gonna be football here in the state. And that's what

320
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm I'm wondering. You know, the Rams and Chargers play

321
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: in Arizona or possibly Las Vegas. If they're not allowing

322
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: any sporting events in the state, you know, it's it's

323
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: it's a big mystery right now. To me, it makes

324
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: more sense to go to the tried and through stadium

325
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: in Arizona, like the Chargers did back in two thousand four.

326
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: They went to it was like two thousand four they

327
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: went to UH Tempe and played when there were fires

328
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: in San Diego. So every NFL game, a lot of

329
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: people don't know this, but every NFL game has to

330
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: have a backup stadium. Uh. And so it designated. So

331
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think that you could, especially with the

332
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: way the league built these sort of seamless escape hatches

333
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: and in the schedule last week, you would be able

334
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: to play those games. It wouldn't be a huge huge

335
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: deal for the players, not too much travel and listen,

336
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: if if there aren't fans of games, what difference does

337
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: you make where you play? So so I don't think

338
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: it would be an enormous inconvenience with the alternative being

339
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: no NFL games. I mean, I think I think they'd

340
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: certainly rather do that of the game somewhere else. But

341
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: so that's what we're looking at. You know, both l

342
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: A and Vegas or in the process of building their stadiums,

343
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: both have been slowed by the coronavirus because they have

344
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: had to go with sort of skeletal staff on construction,

345
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: so they're not moving along at quite the clip that

346
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: they wanted to. So actually, in some respects it takes

347
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: a little pressure off l A. Uh in particular, with

348
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: this five billion dollars stadium, they don't have to have

349
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: it done and ready by August. They can potentially take

350
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: a little bit more time to fish it up. All

351
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,480
