Speaker 1: It is Thursday, May twenty. This is check Wars Happy Hour.
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour is brought to you by Duval Motor
Speaker 1: Company and now the real reason behind the chicken wing shortage.
Speaker 1: Jay Pious Charts. Yes, welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour presented
Speaker 1: by the Duval Motor Company. J P. Shadrick, Jeff Flagman
Speaker 1: along shortly, we have a program today. Phase two continues
Speaker 1: in the off season program with near full participation from
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, a lot of energy around the organization. We'll
Speaker 1: hear from Shakil Griffin, Jaguar's Corner. Caught up with him
Speaker 1: yesterday after practice and get his thoughts on everything going
Speaker 1: on with the Jaguars. A gentleman named Tim Tebow signed
Speaker 1: a contract today with the Jags and he is now
Speaker 1: a member of the organization as a type. We'll get
Speaker 1: to that. We'll go around the National Football League as well.
Speaker 1: Jeff Lagman, we got some some big time tight end
Speaker 1: news today. Luke Farrell signed his rookie contract. That's that's now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course everybody's talking about Tebow, but I'm concerned about
Speaker 1: the chicken wings short real. It's real, it's real, and
Speaker 1: it's not spectacular real, Yes, I mean, has Leon seriously
Speaker 1: been eating all the child I don't know. Levin Pepper
Speaker 1: is gone. I don't know. So here we go. We
Speaker 1: didn't know. Seriously, I didn't know that that's a concern, right,
Speaker 1: Prices are going up because I guess in the chickens
Speaker 1: get COVID or something. Well, no, that there's still chickens.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's enough people that take the wings
Speaker 1: off the chickens at the beginning stages of the process.
Speaker 1: So there's now a shortage. Interesting. I love a chicken wing,
Speaker 1: don't you. Yes, don't we all our thigh's Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't know. That wasn't on the list of the row. Okay,
Speaker 1: then you know I'm gonna make it because you know,
Speaker 1: you can take the bone out of a thigh and
Speaker 1: uh and flatten it out and it's actually much better
Speaker 1: than a wing in my opinion. Thank you for that
Speaker 1: saying it's a food tip of the day. So just
Speaker 1: chicken wings, no thighs or endangered You know, I needed
Speaker 1: a little more research into this to be really be
Speaker 1: fully prepared on this topic. I was not expected to
Speaker 1: discuss just trying to delay the inevitable. Yeah, I know, well,
Speaker 1: let's we'll stillay it a little bit more. We'll get
Speaker 1: to uh Tim Tebow coming up in just a little bit.
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to delay that conversation. I was trying
Speaker 1: to delay the shot Griffin interview you had. Okay, we'll
Speaker 1: delay that also. We'll get to that coming up a
Speaker 1: little bit later as well. It is phase two of
Speaker 1: the off season program, so individual drills only. There's no
Speaker 1: team work against each other. Um. You know, they are
Speaker 1: pretty specific in phase two. It's only a three or
Speaker 1: four day process this week in Phase two and then
Speaker 1: phase three, the O c A periods start next week,
Speaker 1: where you'll see a little bit more of the team's stuff,
Speaker 1: but still no pads. They'll have some helmets on starting
Speaker 1: next week, but near perfect participation. Only a couple of
Speaker 1: guys out yesterday, for sure. DJ Chark was out yesterday.
Speaker 1: He and his wife had their first baby, so he
Speaker 1: was gone to congratulations to that, right fully voluntary period
Speaker 1: of course, in the off season, it's a new regime,
Speaker 1: new coaching staff, a lot of new players around here,
Speaker 1: and it seems like everybody is on track here to
Speaker 1: try to get things going the right way. Early. It
Speaker 1: feels like, well, look, I think there's always a lot
Speaker 1: of energy. Not always, but I mean for the most part,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of energy and a lot of excitement
Speaker 1: to be able to get back onto the field, and
Speaker 1: especially to get back onto the field with a little
Speaker 1: bit of normalcy. You're not having the the social spacing
Speaker 1: on the field and and trying to keep guy separate.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what percentage and this I'd
Speaker 1: be curious to know this because the reason a lot
Speaker 1: of these things are happening because the vac the nation schedule.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it has been been very good for this
Speaker 1: football team and many teams around the National Football League.
Speaker 1: And I would love to know the percentage of players
Speaker 1: that are vaccinated around the National Football League by now,
Speaker 1: and hopefully that number is very high. So but I'm
Speaker 1: sure for the players this is this is great. And
Speaker 1: when I say it's great, think about it. And that
Speaker 1: the union back in the springtime tried to discourage a
Speaker 1: lot of participation in the in the O T A
Speaker 1: s and the practices and such which I mean, you
Speaker 1: had that conversation and we thought it was very ridiculous
Speaker 1: to have that conversation, very aggressive on Twitter, the p
Speaker 1: A was putting all this stuff out on behalf of
Speaker 1: teams and stuff. And you're seeing league wide now that
Speaker 1: the participation is very high, I mean very high in
Speaker 1: some cases ninety plus percent in a lot of cases,
Speaker 1: that's where it's at. And and I think also because
Speaker 1: the players didn't have the ability or the chance to
Speaker 1: do what they typically do, which is what they're doing now,
Speaker 1: last year it made a miss it and and I
Speaker 1: brought up the topic to you JP and how we were.
Speaker 1: I was disappointed in the union and trying to to
Speaker 1: make that narrative of discouraging players to be there when
Speaker 1: there's so much to benefit from that injury protection, camaraderie,
Speaker 1: a chance to get better, a chance to compete and
Speaker 1: get better physically because you work out better when you're
Speaker 1: working out in a competitive environment. And so I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just good to see the partition participation high and
Speaker 1: the energy high. And I'm sure the players are excited
Speaker 1: to be back together and to be bonding, especially when
Speaker 1: you've got you have a positive energy. And the reason
Speaker 1: you have a positive energies because you have some momentum,
Speaker 1: you have a new coach who has been wildly successful
Speaker 1: you have a new quarterback who has been wildly successful,
Speaker 1: and so when you're a part of that team, when
Speaker 1: you have a chance to be good, the excitement and
Speaker 1: the energy is upbeat, and you want to be a
Speaker 1: part of it. You want to participate, and you want
Speaker 1: to get better yourself so that you can help the
Speaker 1: whole the whole goal of the situation. So so I'm
Speaker 1: excited for him, you know, just because they're they're getting
Speaker 1: back to doing football things, and it's been a while
Speaker 1: since they've been able to do some of these things.
Speaker 1: We haven't seen any of this offseason stuff last year
Speaker 1: because of the COVID nineteen business. So it was nice
Speaker 1: to see the rookie minicamp last weekend, at least one
Speaker 1: day of it. A little bit yesterday had a chance
Speaker 1: to walk out there and see some of the practice.
Speaker 1: And then next week, I think Wednesday's second o T
Speaker 1: a period of the ten is open to the media
Speaker 1: as well, so you're getting a glimpse and getting a
Speaker 1: chance to see what things are all about. And that's
Speaker 1: really the exciting part of this thing. Fired up finally well,
Speaker 1: and and they're working towards something. And and last year
Speaker 1: when you committed to to that young team, and we
Speaker 1: had this conversation and we were doing it virtually because
Speaker 1: we weren't in the same room, right, but we were
Speaker 1: going man of all the years to commit to a
Speaker 1: youthful roster. This was not the year. Just because you're
Speaker 1: you're doing things in a virtual fashion, you weren't having
Speaker 1: the ability to develop a young quarterback that you're expected
Speaker 1: to start the season with. And so thank goodness that
Speaker 1: you have gone back to some normalcy with a new
Speaker 1: coach and a new quarterback. Let's get to the big
Speaker 1: story of the day though around the Jaguars. Of course,
Speaker 1: there's a big high school baseball games that was Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm referring to. Of course, this morning, uh,
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow signed his contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars as
Speaker 1: a tight end. After all the hooplah over the last
Speaker 1: few weeks about him getting some tryouts with the team
Speaker 1: and then possibly signing with the team, he did sign
Speaker 1: with the team today and in the announcement he had
Speaker 1: a statement saying, you wanted to thank the Jacks for
Speaker 1: the opportunity to compete and earned the chance to be
Speaker 1: a part of the team. I know it will be
Speaker 1: a challenge, but it is a challenge, Gi Embrace. I'm
Speaker 1: dedicated to taking the direction of our coaching staff and
Speaker 1: learning from my teammates. I appreciate everyone's support as I
Speaker 1: embarked on this new journey. End quote. That's Tim Tebow
Speaker 1: and the of course, his NFL career spanned three seasons
Speaker 1: as a quarterback, played a number of years in minor
Speaker 1: league baseball in the Mets organization, and just this spring
Speaker 1: retired from baseball. Was also doing SEC network analysts work
Speaker 1: a lot of times, and a few other things. Obviously,
Speaker 1: he's all over the place, but now he's back in
Speaker 1: the NFL giving it a go at tight end. And
Speaker 1: what if I would have told you we number eighty five,
Speaker 1: by the way, five, Yes, is this jersey number. If
Speaker 1: I told you two years ago that Urban Meyer, Trevor Lawrence,
Speaker 1: and Tim Tebow would be on the same team at
Speaker 1: the same time, what would you have told me, You're crazy? Uh?
Speaker 1: But I would have been excited for it and uh
Speaker 1: and mostly excited for Urban Meyer and Trevor Lawrence. The
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow thing, I think it's a it's a nice story,
Speaker 1: but it's not. It's not the main story. The main
Speaker 1: story with this football team is Urban Meyer and Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1: And this tebow stuff is certainly getting a lot of airplay,
Speaker 1: and it's getting a lot of conversation across the nation
Speaker 1: and great um. But the big story really with this
Speaker 1: football team is Trevor Lawrence and Urban Meyer and and
Speaker 1: and for me, I look, I think it's cool that
Speaker 1: that this has become a story. Does it need to
Speaker 1: be a story? Probably not. He's a thirty three year
Speaker 1: old football player who has never really played the position.
Speaker 1: If that has enough way to carry the story, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of confused here. You know. I think it's cool
Speaker 1: that he's trying to do it, and I, like I
Speaker 1: told you last week, I don't have a problem with
Speaker 1: it because ninety guys, when you go to camp, there's
Speaker 1: ten fifteen guy as. You can sit there and say,
Speaker 1: these guys essentially all they are is blocking dummies. They're
Speaker 1: not gonna make it their bodies, their camp bodies. So
Speaker 1: is taking one of those positions and allowing what has
Speaker 1: been a very good athlete, great athlete to some extent,
Speaker 1: to try out at the age of thirty three a
Speaker 1: new position. Does Does that make a lot of sense?
Speaker 1: Probably not? But does it take away from And I've
Speaker 1: heard people say, oh, it takes away an opportunity of
Speaker 1: of a legitimate player. Give me a break. I mean,
Speaker 1: like I said, there's ten of fifteen guys on on
Speaker 1: a ninety man roster that have no chance. They really
Speaker 1: had a chance, they'd be on a roster right now anyway.
Speaker 1: And here here's the other thing. Irvan Meyer has been
Speaker 1: wildly successful as a head coach, right, I mean wildly success.
Speaker 1: So I kind of I kind of trust him and
Speaker 1: that you know, look, he's got a method to whatever
Speaker 1: he is trying to be doing. And I'm sure that
Speaker 1: there's a reason that he deems to be very important
Speaker 1: for bringing in Tim Tebow to play tight end, and
Speaker 1: and if he thinks it's good enough, I'm okay with it.
Speaker 1: And is it is it a thing where people do,
Speaker 1: oh well? And I've heard people say that they can't
Speaker 1: believe that Jaguars come on, which we're talking about one
Speaker 1: position on a ninety man roster. But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Now that Tim Tebow signed a contract and he's wearing
Speaker 1: the black and teal, now he has to do his part,
Speaker 1: which first and foremost means he's got to earn the
Speaker 1: respect to the locker room. And I'm not talking about
Speaker 1: earning the respect to the locker room just by being
Speaker 1: a solid guy, a nice guy. I'm talking about he
Speaker 1: has to show the ability that he can play football,
Speaker 1: that he can help them, that he can help this
Speaker 1: football team. If he can't show that, then I think
Speaker 1: the players will sit there and look at him as
Speaker 1: kind of as a side show, and we'll say, what
Speaker 1: is he doing here? You know it? Because if his
Speaker 1: skill set shows that he doesn't belong, the players in
Speaker 1: that locker room will embrace him. I don't care how
Speaker 1: good of a guy he is. The locker room is
Speaker 1: about can you help us win. If you can help
Speaker 1: us win, you'll be embraced. If you can help us win,
Speaker 1: you will not be embraced. A simple as that. Well,
Speaker 1: the process is underway. He was on the field today
Speaker 1: in Phase two, and we'll get our first look at
Speaker 1: him next week. Wednesday, I think is the first o
Speaker 1: t a practice that is open to the media, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure coverage will follow. We've got plenty ahead on
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour. We'll hear from Shaquille Griffin when we
Speaker 1: come back. Jaguar's cornerback. Caught up with him yesterday after
Speaker 1: practice to get his thoughts on the off season program
Speaker 1: so far, and a little later we'll hear from Urban
Speaker 1: Meyer on some of the rookies, including an offensive tackle
Speaker 1: walker a little We're off and running. It's Jaguars Happy

Speaker 1: up tonight seven o'clock on Jaguars dot Com and the
Speaker 1: Jaguars YouTube channel. That was head coach Irvan Meyer and
Speaker 1: this is Jaguars Happy Hour presented by the Duval Motor Company.
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick, Jeff Blagman. The edges where average stops
Speaker 1: and elite begins. Blogs. According to head coach Urban Meyer,
Speaker 1: got you that's inside access to a team meeting. I
Speaker 1: wonder at what point, because you know we're seeing First
Speaker 1: of all, the show is fantastic. I've watched it. It's
Speaker 1: really a real nice inside peak glimpse into some of
Speaker 1: the inner workings of a football team. But I'd be
Speaker 1: curious to know from a league wide standpoint, because you
Speaker 1: saw the NFL has backed off on some of the
Speaker 1: requirements as far as masking and such, when are they
Speaker 1: going to go back to I mean, because now you're
Speaker 1: on the field with players, at what point will you
Speaker 1: go back to having a classroom like in person meetings
Speaker 1: instead of instead of what we're seeing, which is the
Speaker 1: virtual situation. So now, because I will say that it's
Speaker 1: got to be hard to get to know your coaches
Speaker 1: from a virtual standpoint, you know, I mean, it's part
Speaker 1: of I think the enjoyment of playing professional football and
Speaker 1: playing sports is having the interaction and um and certainly
Speaker 1: it's about relationships and and those relationships develop when you
Speaker 1: get to spend time with people. And I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about spending time over a monitor. I'm talking about spending
Speaker 1: time in person with people. So oh, fully they can
Speaker 1: get back to doing some of those things that are
Speaker 1: even more normal than uh, just the stuff on the
Speaker 1: field that they're seeing. Now. Shaquille Griffin is a new
Speaker 1: addition to the Jaguars this offseason, free agent addition out
Speaker 1: of the Seattle Seahawks, the highest pay an addition in
Speaker 1: the off season. Yeah, that's a lot of money going
Speaker 1: his way, which you know, look, he's that that's the market.
Speaker 1: I'm not bringing that up to to be negative in
Speaker 1: any way. I bring it up because when you get
Speaker 1: the free agency, you're trying to get some of the
Speaker 1: best of the best. And so when you want to
Speaker 1: get some of the best of the best. There there
Speaker 1: is a price to pay, and he was the most
Speaker 1: expensive Jaguars free agent acquisition I think, right, I mean correct.
Speaker 1: I couldn't think of another one, and uh, really good
Speaker 1: football player, really good football players. So I'm looking forward
Speaker 1: to watching him play because I think he's gonna be
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a great addition. We caught up with
Speaker 1: him after practice yesterday and he's new. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of new around him, obviously, see in that secondary trying
Speaker 1: to build that camaraderie. He had some thoughts about the
Speaker 1: offseason program so far, the energy around the Jaguars organization.
Speaker 1: There's an energy out of here. It feels like music
Speaker 1: is going after practice, a lot of participation and that's
Speaker 1: a good thing. You're new to this program here too,
Speaker 1: So what do I feel like the first few days? Oh? Man, Uh,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a different experience and it feels good.
Speaker 1: And I feel like the reason why we have almost
Speaker 1: a perfect attendance is because you have guys who believe
Speaker 1: in something special. You know, Myers was the first one
Speaker 1: to believe by taking his job and knowing that we
Speaker 1: can turn things around, and then he got the guys
Speaker 1: he wanted to get you know, draft went great, and
Speaker 1: now you have everybody here ready to get better, the
Speaker 1: way to improve, ready to change the world, and the
Speaker 1: way they view us in Jacksonville. So you know, I
Speaker 1: start off with Maya's first, and then the good thing
Speaker 1: is if myers believe in it, we believe in it,
Speaker 1: and we believe in him. So that's that's the reason
Speaker 1: why we have almost a perfect tention, because everybody wants
Speaker 1: to do great, everyone wants to do better. So, man,
Speaker 1: this feeling has been unexplainable at the moment you got
Speaker 1: here in free agency and then is urban as advertised
Speaker 1: in meeting rooms? You know that's that's the kind of
Speaker 1: the sales pitching free agency all that you don't know
Speaker 1: if it's real, it is it? How's it feeling real? Like? Man,
Speaker 1: he's the same as he portrayed. You know, he loved winners,
Speaker 1: so you know, you know how to win, you know
Speaker 1: what it takes. And now he's getting everybody to believe
Speaker 1: in that same thing. You know. It's the same energy
Speaker 1: day in and day out, you know, and he can
Speaker 1: care about what everybody else say, what everybody else thinks.
Speaker 1: He believes in his players that he got in his team.
Speaker 1: So we got a coach like that, you know, already
Speaker 1: to run through a brick wall fromim, you know, because
Speaker 1: this type confidence that he having us, you know, as
Speaker 1: the as the organization, so you know, as as advertised,
Speaker 1: you know exactly what you get, you know, and that's
Speaker 1: that's Urban not and I love him for you know,
Speaker 1: I feel like everybody else love him too for that. Man,
Speaker 1: We're ready for great things. Urban's big on the performance
Speaker 1: side of this business, to strength and conditioning, everything that
Speaker 1: goes into that. And it's not just lifting weights after practice.
Speaker 1: I'm sure everybody has their own programmers. Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 1: And the big thing is he want to give us
Speaker 1: the best opportunity to be great. So he got coaches
Speaker 1: in the staff that that's perfect. You know, that's ten
Speaker 1: to everybody. And pacific positions and that's different because you
Speaker 1: know it's easy to just put the line old line.
Speaker 1: You got dvs. You know it's that weight that weight
Speaker 1: class is different. But now that he's he's attacking certain
Speaker 1: areas for bigger guys, tacking certain areas for faster guys.
Speaker 1: You know, I can tell the type of work they
Speaker 1: put in and put the group together to make sure
Speaker 1: that we at our best when it comes to this season.
Speaker 1: And you know that's the best part of body. You know,
Speaker 1: he breaking down. He want to make sure we have
Speaker 1: the best of the best. And he's had showing that,
Speaker 1: and then the staff continue to show that. And man,
Speaker 1: it's the perfoct. I'm ready to get back in shape.
Speaker 1: Perpose shape is possible. So you know, I'm excited for him,
Speaker 1: and I'm loving I'm love being here. You know, you're
Speaker 1: new here, but a lot of guys in the second
Speaker 1: area are new here too. This is the time of
Speaker 1: year to build that camaraderie, that chemistry as a defensive backfield.
Speaker 1: And how important are these next three or four or
Speaker 1: five weeks. Oh man, it's very important. You know. We
Speaker 1: started early. You know, every Tuesday since I've been here,
Speaker 1: I haven't had my house yet, but you know, right
Speaker 1: in my apartment, you know, I take the guys every Tuesday,
Speaker 1: will have taco Tuesday. You know, we're about to pool
Speaker 1: get a chance. And you know, this is guys who
Speaker 1: I never met before the first time. So I'm breaking
Speaker 1: them all in. You know, I'm accepting them, that they
Speaker 1: accepting me, and you know, we have our go Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Every Tuesday. Well, get a chance to get together speaking,
Speaker 1: a chance to understand everybody's story, everybody family, because that's
Speaker 1: what I'm going to battle for. I wanted you to
Speaker 1: know that you can count on me to protect you
Speaker 1: in your family. Why I'm not on this field, and
Speaker 1: we're already starting to build that. So I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get everybody in the same page. You know. Uh, the
Speaker 1: second week here, I took the whole defense out, you
Speaker 1: know to what it was. I forgot. It's like texta day, Brazil,
Speaker 1: I forgot U. There we go, that's exactly what That's
Speaker 1: exactly where we went to the whole defense out and
Speaker 1: now like one of the best span because you know,
Speaker 1: these are things that they weren't used to and now
Speaker 1: it's just something I can count on, you know, you
Speaker 1: know throughout the whole year. You know, you've got them
Speaker 1: office days, we go and watch family. We get a
Speaker 1: chance to interact. You know, these are guys, So I'm
Speaker 1: competing with the guys who I'm going to battle with.
Speaker 1: I want you to better trust me and I can
Speaker 1: trust you. So we atta started need next couple of
Speaker 1: weeks and next three weeks is gonna be just so
Speaker 1: important throughout, even when we go to camp and you
Speaker 1: go through the season. Every week is important to get
Speaker 1: a chance to get closer every single day. Favorite kind
Speaker 1: of taco in place where you get the taco Tuesday,
Speaker 1: I didn't rotate, man Um, I really gotta go with
Speaker 1: the chicken and shrimp, you know. And then every now
Speaker 1: and then if I do switch up and I go steak,
Speaker 1: and then when I feel a little fancy, I just
Speaker 1: do one of each. But no, you know, tacos don't
Speaker 1: get old. I think eat tacos every single day month
Speaker 1: of the Sunday, which I think is a good thing.
Speaker 1: But I could That's Shaquille Griffin, Jaguar's cornerback. Thanks for
Speaker 1: the visit to yesterday after the Phase two practice, and
Speaker 1: uh got to catch up with him first time. Did
Speaker 1: I say that he took the entire defense to dinner,
Speaker 1: to Phogo, to chow, Yes, the Brazilian steakhouse. Yes. I
Speaker 1: want to hang out with that guy, me too. More interviews, Shack.
Speaker 1: Good for him, I'll never forget. And uh, when I
Speaker 1: was a young player, we had, you know, some some
Speaker 1: pretty good veterans. But then when Pete Carrol's our defensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: Bruce Colls it was our head coach. And then free
Speaker 1: agency hit the National Football League and we were able
Speaker 1: to acquire at that time a couple of guys that
Speaker 1: have the most respect for. One of those Arn't Monk,
Speaker 1: who was tremendous leader by example. Ronnie Lott came aboard,
Speaker 1: Leonard Marshall, Boomer Size and some of these guys that
Speaker 1: were great players in the National Football League. And Ronnie
Speaker 1: Lott really brought in kind of what Shaq Griffin is
Speaker 1: is talking about there about trying to team build away
Speaker 1: from the facility to where you get to know your teammates,
Speaker 1: and Ronnie did some of that. Ronnie actually would because
Speaker 1: this is going back to a time when in the
Speaker 1: National Football League. You know, now you have performance trainers,
Speaker 1: you have dietitians, you have chefs that are brought on board,
Speaker 1: the meals are cooked for players when the O t
Speaker 1: A s are going on like they are now. Back
Speaker 1: in that era, they didn't have any of that. We
Speaker 1: didn't have any of that. We didn't even have meals
Speaker 1: brought in, which was crazy. I mean, we were there
Speaker 1: at the building all day and if you wanted lunch,
Speaker 1: you had in the guard and go get lunch. Go
Speaker 1: get lunch. I mean you had to go to the
Speaker 1: Delhi or bring it in like a brown paperbag. And
Speaker 1: Ronnie when he came in, he started bringing in catering
Speaker 1: so that after the work day we would watch film
Speaker 1: together as a group and uh and I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: this is awesome. But it was just one of those
Speaker 1: things that he brought with them from the championships that
Speaker 1: he had won with the forty niners, and that's how
Speaker 1: they did it. That's how they got better as the team.
Speaker 1: So when I when I hear that Shack is doing
Speaker 1: something like that, I mean, for me, I think that
Speaker 1: that's impressive because you got when that's hard to do
Speaker 1: for a young guy to come in and take a
Speaker 1: leadership role even though you're a veteran player, because sometimes
Speaker 1: there's not a comfort level in doing that. But having
Speaker 1: somebody that you bring in that is comfortable taking on
Speaker 1: that role and aggressive and doing so love it. There
Speaker 1: is a lot of new around him too, as we
Speaker 1: referenced in that interview. I mean in theory four of
Speaker 1: the five starters in the secondary, it could be new
Speaker 1: guys at the organization this year. C J. Henderson might
Speaker 1: be the only one could be new. It could be
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's a lot of change. And I
Speaker 1: think just this organization is going to even undergo more
Speaker 1: change and in another year. I mean, because typically in
Speaker 1: the first couple of years, once you have a new coach,
Speaker 1: you have a tremendous amount of turnover in the first
Speaker 1: couple of years. So that's not to be unexpected. You
Speaker 1: hope that that doesn't happen because then it just takes
Speaker 1: more time to get to where you want to be. UM.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, that's a that's a lot of turnover,
Speaker 1: a lot of change, a lot of new There's a
Speaker 1: lot of change last year as well in the secondary.
Speaker 1: But there's reasons. I gotta say this JP because you know,
Speaker 1: last Saturday, when we had the opportunity to watch a
Speaker 1: day of the Rookie Mini Camp, I really enjoyed it
Speaker 1: for from the standpoint of I like the tempo, I
Speaker 1: like the organization. I like the way that they went
Speaker 1: about their business in that rookie minicamp. In rookie minicamps
Speaker 1: that I've seen in the past, there was always this
Speaker 1: we gotta go fast, we gotta go fast, and in
Speaker 1: your and it was almost trying to shock the rookie
Speaker 1: system mentally and physically. It was what I've seen and historically,
Speaker 1: not just here, but at other places as well. And
Speaker 1: I like the way that it was just a little
Speaker 1: bit different and that it had a real nice teaching
Speaker 1: element to it, because I mean, when these young players
Speaker 1: come in, they don't know what they're doing. And I've
Speaker 1: been there. I'll never forget JP when when my linebacker
Speaker 1: coach handed me a playbook and his name was Jim Vicarella,
Speaker 1: hand me a playbook and said here you go learn it.
Speaker 1: And it was one of the and I was like, well,
Speaker 1: when are we gonna be able to meet and you
Speaker 1: know to and now there's your playbook. I mean that's
Speaker 1: kind of the attitude that was taken. And whereas look,
Speaker 1: i mean, now look, you depend on young players to play.
Speaker 1: They gotta contribute you, and it's your job as a
Speaker 1: coach and as a staff to get them up to
Speaker 1: speed as fast as you possibly can. And so I
Speaker 1: liked the tempo and I like the way that they
Speaker 1: were teaching in the rookie minicamp and obviously a short
Speaker 1: glimpse at up for the one day that we were
Speaker 1: able to watch it, but I'm looking forward to watching
Speaker 1: next week's O t A where you got the entire group,
Speaker 1: you know, and seeing how that tempo is and because
Speaker 1: you can't ever lose that element of learning, because that
Speaker 1: learning is about development, and that's developing the guys that
Speaker 1: you have on your roster to making them better players
Speaker 1: so you can become a better team. Let's come back
Speaker 1: and we will get into some of those performances in
Speaker 1: that Rookie Minicamp this past Saturday and some highlights Trevor Lawrence,

Speaker 1: from quarterback Trevor Lawrence, and Welcome back Jaguars Happy Hour
Speaker 1: presented by the Duke Hold Motor Company. J P. Shadrick,
Speaker 1: Jeff Logerman, Glad you're along with us today. We've covered
Speaker 1: the Tim Tebow story. We heard from Shaquille Griffin a
Speaker 1: little bit earlier. Jaguars cornerback Trevor Lawrence. There. We touched
Speaker 1: briefly on rookie minicamp last weekend. This is the first
Speaker 1: chance you and I have had to sit down since then.
Speaker 1: You know, Trevor was not doing Trevor, we haven't haven't
Speaker 1: met him in person, Lawrence was, um, was not doing
Speaker 1: handoffs or taking snaps from center as a precaution because
Speaker 1: of that left shoulder. Let me ask you a question,
Speaker 1: but did you see a center out there in rookie
Speaker 1: Minicaan did not so, but he was throwing the ball
Speaker 1: around a little bit. He was on a pitch count.
Speaker 1: Urban said, but uh, you know it does come out
Speaker 1: of his hand rather nicely. I'll say that that's an understatement. Yeah,
Speaker 1: mean he's he uh, he looks at the part. I
Speaker 1: can tell you that and all the years of watching
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks come into Jaguars camp, I've never nothing has
Speaker 1: ever made me go wow. I mean, this guy makes
Speaker 1: you go wow. Um the ball, how he throws it,
Speaker 1: his placement, his accuracy, his velocity, his footwork, he just
Speaker 1: makes it. I don't want to say makes it look easy,
Speaker 1: because it's not easy. But he's gifted and there's there's
Speaker 1: no doubt. I mean, that's why he was the consensus
Speaker 1: first overall picking the draft. That's why many people said
Speaker 1: that a few years ago that he was going to
Speaker 1: be the first overall picking the draft when he was
Speaker 1: a freshman Clemson. I mean it, he has an incredible
Speaker 1: amount of talent and it's gonna be fun to watch him.
Speaker 1: And they just need to do and make make sure
Speaker 1: that they do a good job with giving him the
Speaker 1: best possible environment to succeed that they can. And it
Speaker 1: looks like they're working towards that, because that's not something
Speaker 1: that you just it just you, you know, flip the
Speaker 1: switch and then all of a sudden, it's there. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a constant process that is ever evolving
Speaker 1: and you have to continue to provide input and resources
Speaker 1: to it. And I'm sure that they're gonna do everything
Speaker 1: that they can. But I'm gonna tell you right now, JP,
Speaker 1: he is the real deal. Now, I mean, to make
Speaker 1: no mistake about it, Trevor Lawrence is the real deal.
Speaker 1: It sounds like maybe towards the end of O T
Speaker 1: A s around that mini camp urbant, Meyers said he
Speaker 1: should be close to and able to do pretty much everything.
Speaker 1: That's a good signs everything. But they're just being cautious. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, if they if they wanted to let him
Speaker 1: do everything. I mean, and remember now, the surgery was
Speaker 1: on a non throwing shoulder, so I mean, um, is
Speaker 1: that an issue? No? I mean three months it's healed.
Speaker 1: Is he at risk of hurting it? And no? Is
Speaker 1: it smart to make sure that you take it a
Speaker 1: little bit slow because you can yes, and uh and
Speaker 1: and they're doing the right thing and uh not taking
Speaker 1: snaps from center during Ricky Minicamp, A lot of people
Speaker 1: kind of made a big deal out of that, But
Speaker 1: then again, let me point out, there was not a
Speaker 1: center on the field. There was two offensive linemen and
Speaker 1: one was a garden, one was a tackle. That was it.
Speaker 1: That's the only two offensive lineman you had on the field.
Speaker 1: So uh and does Jimmy Luck snap, not that Jeff
Speaker 1: snap the criminal guys that I know of. Jeff to Luca,
Speaker 1: I don't think that he's big enough to but it's
Speaker 1: but it was it was fun watching him throw. And
Speaker 1: and really when quarterbacks, I mean, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that can throw football that a receiver can catch.
Speaker 1: The special quarterbacks throw the ball to where it puts
Speaker 1: the person that's catching the ball in the best possible position.
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that watching film and also
Speaker 1: watching him in practice, if the receiver and a receiver
Speaker 1: can be a tied end and running back, a wide receiver,
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. The person who's catching the ball, okay, is
Speaker 1: essentially a receiver. If if he can catch the ball
Speaker 1: in stride without having a hitch or a change in
Speaker 1: his momentum or anything like that, it makes it better
Speaker 1: for the receiver. If the quarterback throws it behind the
Speaker 1: receiver to make him slow down because there's impending contact,
Speaker 1: if he were to throw it on time and allow
Speaker 1: the receiver to be in stride, that's beneficial to the receiver.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the way that Trevor Lawrence throws the football.
Speaker 1: He has a very innate ability to place the ball
Speaker 1: where it needs to be to benefit the receiver, which
Speaker 1: benefits the team. And it's just it's it's a joy
Speaker 1: to watch. I mean, some receivers when they're young, or
Speaker 1: quarterbacks when they're young, you're just happy that they get
Speaker 1: a completion. And I'm not saying that he's gonna step
Speaker 1: onto the eield in his first game ever and looked
Speaker 1: like the rebirth of Troy Aikman or Peyton Manning and
Speaker 1: year three their years three. But I mean, it's gonna
Speaker 1: take some time, but man, it's a I told this
Speaker 1: to a couple of people recently because a lot of
Speaker 1: people are asking me questions over the last week or
Speaker 1: so since the mini camp happened. They were like, did
Speaker 1: you see it? Did you see it? I'm like, I
Speaker 1: did see it. I went and saw it and saw
Speaker 1: it on Saturday, and and they're just dying to know
Speaker 1: how does he look? And I just said, you know,
Speaker 1: I've never been one that that that gets into the hype,
Speaker 1: but I will tell you, be excited. And I told
Speaker 1: this to the people that asked me the question. They're
Speaker 1: fans of the Jaguars. I said, be excited and I said,
Speaker 1: because you know what, I'm excited. I mean, that's how
Speaker 1: good my eyes are telling me that this guy is
Speaker 1: good from film, from watching him in person. And I
Speaker 1: didn't get the opportunity to stand by to hear the ball, right. Okay,
Speaker 1: we wasn't that close to him, but yeah, he's a
Speaker 1: he's a special talent. The one of the most overblown
Speaker 1: stories of the off season, which we've had a few
Speaker 1: around here, it feels like Travis e t n working
Speaker 1: out at wide receiver during that mini camp, And that's
Speaker 1: basically what urban Meyer said. He's working out in this
Speaker 1: three day mini camp at wide receiver because of some
Speaker 1: of the things we talked about earlier. Also, you haven't
Speaker 1: really run a lot of routes in his college career
Speaker 1: to begin with. On the outside, he did a lot
Speaker 1: of his work out of the backfield in the passing game.
Speaker 1: But also Trevor Lawrence wasn't handing the ball off to anybody,
Speaker 1: so that was not going to be allowed for him.
Speaker 1: If one, I understand, he's back at running back now,
Speaker 1: and hey, guess what it's like riding a bike. He
Speaker 1: took a handoff and found open daylight and ran through it.
Speaker 1: So he can do all of this. What is what
Speaker 1: is E. T n gonna gain from being in a
Speaker 1: mini camp, being the only running back out there and
Speaker 1: being out on the field with sixteen seventeen guys and
Speaker 1: taking a handoff and there's you're you're basically running on air. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's really there's nothing to be gained for him. He's
Speaker 1: played running back, and so why not expose him to
Speaker 1: something different, which is plane receiver and learning maybe some
Speaker 1: of the finer details and some of the teachings of
Speaker 1: plane wide receiver because they want him to be a
Speaker 1: dynamic back, which is somebody that's going to separate from
Speaker 1: the formation and create some matchup problems. So I don't
Speaker 1: want to say it was brilliant. I wouldn't go that far,
Speaker 1: but I thought it was a great idea by Urban Meyer.
Speaker 1: It's a perfect time to do it too. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: and is it is it worthy of national news? Travis
Speaker 1: etms mood wide receiver for Jaguars recommendic No, it's not
Speaker 1: worthy of that. People are like crushing Urban about it,
Speaker 1: like come on, people, Yeah, And I don't I don't.
Speaker 1: I didn't see that. I mean, I'm sure that it
Speaker 1: happened but it just look, there's nothing wrong with exposing
Speaker 1: a player to some of the nuances of playing wide
Speaker 1: receiver so that maybe he can learn something that he
Speaker 1: can carry over to him being a receiver for as
Speaker 1: a running back. And uh so I thought thought it
Speaker 1: was a good idea. Let's hear from Urban Meyer about
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman the Jaguars selected Walker Little Urban shockingly
Speaker 1: loves the guy. We just believe he was. He would
Speaker 1: have been a first rounder had he been never had
Speaker 1: that knee injury. At one point he was one of
Speaker 1: the top tackles in the country and and that was
Speaker 1: really hard because you never saw him to they got here,
Speaker 1: you know, you just don't know what their legs look like,
Speaker 1: et cetera. And then when he got here, you like,
Speaker 1: you know, body fat. It's pretty good for three and
Speaker 1: thirty pound man. Let's see how he fits in the
Speaker 1: grand scheme of things once the veterans are here and
Speaker 1: they're all on the field together, but the measurables are
Speaker 1: certainly their loves. What do you think when you saw
Speaker 1: him last weekend? Well, I'll tell you what I thought
Speaker 1: when I saw him in person, and also what I
Speaker 1: saw from watching him on film, because I watched every
Speaker 1: snap that he played from the one game that he
Speaker 1: played in nineteen, and I watched multiple games that he
Speaker 1: played in eighteen when he was the same a true freshman,
Speaker 1: and my my impressions at many can't. He is a
Speaker 1: naturally big man. And I say naturally big. It's not
Speaker 1: like he's an inflated three pounds or three five whatever
Speaker 1: he weighs. He he is a big man. He has
Speaker 1: big frame, he has big bones. I mean, he's got
Speaker 1: big legs. It's not like he's just you know, he
Speaker 1: ate extra, an extra four sandwiches a day to get
Speaker 1: to three thirty and he and he's looking like the
Speaker 1: state puff marshmallow man. That's not it. And he The
Speaker 1: one thing that impressed me about his the way he plays.
Speaker 1: First of all, he's got excellent feet. Excellent feet, never
Speaker 1: puts his head in their excellent hands. Is technique Basselly
Speaker 1: is gonna love and Basselli is a little bit of
Speaker 1: hard butt when it comes to criticizing technique. But I
Speaker 1: think what impresses me the most is that his ability
Speaker 1: to bend. When he gets in a stance, he can
Speaker 1: literally put his gluts down on his ankles and literally
Speaker 1: turned side to side, the flexibility, the athleticism, and I
Speaker 1: said this, and I'm not going to back away from it.
Speaker 1: I'll say I said it to some people, and I'll
Speaker 1: say it right here. I think he will be the
Speaker 1: second best draft pick in this draft class. Okay, write
Speaker 1: it down. I believe that strongly and that that he
Speaker 1: will be behind Trevor Lawrence. He will be long term
Speaker 1: the best draft pick in this draft class. I think
Speaker 1: he is going to be a franchise left tackle. He's
Speaker 1: just gonna need a little bit of time to get
Speaker 1: back into the swing of football. Correct he's been out
Speaker 1: for two years? Why not twice? Two years? Okay, essentially
Speaker 1: almost two years because he played one game in nineteen
Speaker 1: and then Stanford didn't decide to start the season until
Speaker 1: late and at that point he chose not to play,
Speaker 1: which I don't blame him, but I mean, we're talking
Speaker 1: about a young man who was if I remember correctly,
Speaker 1: he was all packed at twelve yea and in a
Speaker 1: sophomore season. Yes, I mean that's that's tremendous. So um,
Speaker 1: he's got it all now, I mean, he he's got
Speaker 1: it all because I always look at it. I look
Speaker 1: at tackles from the standpoint of if you're facing them,
Speaker 1: do you see the whole? Do you see any weaknesses
Speaker 1: in their game? And uh and I don't see any
Speaker 1: weaknesses in his game. Okay, let's get this. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: this is the best tackle selection the Jaguars have had
Speaker 1: since Boselli in the draft saying a lot, It's been
Speaker 1: a lot of tackles drafted. Well, I mean, look, there
Speaker 1: hadn't been a lot of great ones. I mean Tony
Speaker 1: was obviously, I mean, he's all of fame. Count Uh
Speaker 1: should be in the Hall of Fame. But think of
Speaker 1: some of the other tackles that the Jaguars have drafted,
Speaker 1: I mean Cam Robins and is obviously a higher pick
Speaker 1: that they've been able to take. Jocol Um Williams, Well,
Speaker 1: Moe Williams, I mean mo is going back a little bit. Monroe,
Speaker 1: e G. Monroe. This guy right here is that it
Speaker 1: will be the boat the next best tackle to play
Speaker 1: for this organization. You heard it here. First, let's come

Speaker 1: a long story about milkshakes, but we'll leave that alone.
Speaker 1: This week. We're gonna have one tonight, probably will. Let's
Speaker 1: go around the National Football League. Another former professional baseball
Speaker 1: player is back in the NFL today, not named Tim Tebow.
Speaker 1: Tyler Gaffney was signed by the Patriots today. He had
Speaker 1: spent time in the NFL with the forty are the Panthers.
Speaker 1: First of all, he was the draft pick of their's
Speaker 1: the Patriots fourteen through sixteen. Was with the Jaguars in
Speaker 1: camp in ten but went on injury reserve and never played,
Speaker 1: and he retired. And then he played professional baseball in
Speaker 1: the season in the Pirates system in Bradenton down here
Speaker 1: in Florida, and was up in al Tuona in Double
Speaker 1: A for a little bit as well. He retired from
Speaker 1: baseball in February of twenty nineteen. He's now back with
Speaker 1: the Patriots in the off season as a running back. Well, look,
Speaker 1: more power to him. And so here's here's the thing. Yes,
Speaker 1: do you hear an uproar or or a lot of
Speaker 1: conversation about him signing a contract with the New England Patriots.
Speaker 1: Part of that is he was a running back before,
Speaker 1: So it's not gonna played baseball he comes back. You know,
Speaker 1: he hasn't been doing anything for a couple of years.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, where's where's the where conversation about
Speaker 1: that sign. You're gonna have a long conversation about Tyler
Speaker 1: Gaffney on Get Up Tomorrow on ESPN. I'm sure. Mark
Speaker 1: Brunell in the news today, Love, Yeah, Yeah, I heard
Speaker 1: he was doking the fire a little bit, trying to
Speaker 1: get his new Detroit Lions football team, where he is
Speaker 1: the quarterback coach, trying to get the team a little
Speaker 1: fired up and give it some hope, and saying that
Speaker 1: they have a chance to do great things this year
Speaker 1: in Detroit, just like the Jaguars did in Everybody was
Speaker 1: counting you guys out in ninety six, and probably rightly.
Speaker 1: So you're four seven, midway through a little more where
Speaker 1: we weren't. We weren't doing very good at the time,
Speaker 1: but I mean we we we had some pieces that
Speaker 1: we're starting to come together. We just needed to kind
Speaker 1: of have it all work at the same time instead
Speaker 1: of having, you know, one area not working one week
Speaker 1: and then the next week it changes. But good for Mark.
Speaker 1: First of all, I'm excited for Mark because Mark Mark
Speaker 1: comes from a family of coaches. His dad was a coach.
Speaker 1: Mark has always been a coach. He was the head
Speaker 1: coach obviously a high school here in Jacksonville, and so
Speaker 1: he's getting to do what he wants to do, which
Speaker 1: is coach ball, and he gets to do it with
Speaker 1: with an organization and that is excited about their prospects.
Speaker 1: They have kind of like the Jaguars. Obviously they didn't
Speaker 1: have the first overall pick and don't have that kind
Speaker 1: of momentum, but they have a new coach, a new
Speaker 1: general manager, and a new excitement building in Detroit and
Speaker 1: UH and Marks able to be a part of that.
Speaker 1: And I'm happy for the new quarterback, Jared Goff. The
Speaker 1: deal to UH to move Stafford over to l A
Speaker 1: brought golf back to Detroit. So yeah, I think Detroit
Speaker 1: got UH got the better end of that because you know,
Speaker 1: this past year, we we were able to watch the
Speaker 1: lines because the Jaguars played the lines and Stafford. When
Speaker 1: I watched the film on Stafford wasn't very good the
Speaker 1: last time we saw him, and UH it wasn't very
Speaker 1: good against the Jaguars and they won, but it wasn't
Speaker 1: because of him. I just think that the the Rams
Speaker 1: have gotten fleeced in on on a couple occasions with trades,
Speaker 1: and I think the Rams did a poor job in
Speaker 1: this instance. In my opinion, they're not a quarterback away
Speaker 1: from winning Super Bowl, and Matt Stafford is not that
Speaker 1: quarterback that's gonna take them to the super Bowl. They
Speaker 1: feel like they are apparently over there. They could be wrong,
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers apparently or a quarterback away from winning Super
Speaker 1: Bowl because they did it last year and because he's
Speaker 1: the goat. He is the goat, and they did a
Speaker 1: few other things. Of course, they've brought everybody back in
Speaker 1: this off season, but Bruce Arian says he plans on
Speaker 1: coaching for a while, even after Tom Brady retires. Whenever
Speaker 1: that happens, that could be ten years from now. He said, quote,
Speaker 1: I don't have any plans and retiring. It's just when
Speaker 1: do I not want to go back to work. When
Speaker 1: I'm not excited about going back to work, then I'm
Speaker 1: cheating somebody and quote, well, you can argue we were
Speaker 1: talking about this earlier today. Logs, you and I off
Speaker 1: the year. Of course, you know the Jaguars are right
Speaker 1: there as one of the top storylines of the off season.
Speaker 1: But then you remember the Buccaneers are coming off a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with the Goat on the team, and they
Speaker 1: resigned every starter on both sides. Yeah, I look. First
Speaker 1: of all, Bruce arians is one of my favorite coaches
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. UM, mainly because he's he's entertaining.
Speaker 1: He's when he when he talks, he gives you good
Speaker 1: information and sometimes it, uh, it kind of makes you
Speaker 1: chuckle a little bit. Yeah, he's shoots straight. He totally does.
Speaker 1: And uh and and he's not and I give credit
Speaker 1: this past year he would was not even afraid to
Speaker 1: shoot straight about the performance of Tom Brady at times
Speaker 1: which a lot of people were like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I can't believe he said anything like that about Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: How dare he Well, I mean he's a coach, you know.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's how he's wired. That's what he is.
Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm glad that he didn't change who
Speaker 1: he is just because he was coaching the Goat. I mean,
Speaker 1: you gotta be who you are. And so good for him,
Speaker 1: I mean good for him. He's he paid his dues
Speaker 1: and and it took him a long time to get
Speaker 1: the opportunity to be a head coach in the National
Speaker 1: Football League first and foremost, and when he only got
Speaker 1: it kind of unexpectedly, he did a great job and
Speaker 1: it's good to see him back. He was an assistant
Speaker 1: coach under Bear Bryant at Alabama. That's how long he's
Speaker 1: been in the game. A long long time. For Eagles,
Speaker 1: quarterback Jalen Hurts says he's not above a quarterback competition
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia Joe Flaccos with the Eagles. Of course, Hurts
Speaker 1: has some history, at least in changes at the quarterback
Speaker 1: position with him. In one of those changes at Alabama,
Speaker 1: he was mentioned the National title game and it was
Speaker 1: a backup for two A tong of Baloa his remaining
Speaker 1: time in Tuscaloosa and then transferred to Oklahoma. So he's
Speaker 1: up for the battle. I think he'll win the battle,
Speaker 1: though I would think, who's he battling Flacco? J P.
Speaker 1: Where's the battle. I'm just saying that he's open for
Speaker 1: it if there's going to be a competition. Joe Flacco
Speaker 1: has not has not played well in quite some time, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, really, he has not played well. How old
Speaker 1: is he now? He's not that old, I mean as
Speaker 1: far as quarterbacks go. Yeah, I mean he's much is
Speaker 1: he really? Yes? About same age as Matt Ryan thirty
Speaker 1: six years thought he was younger than Matt Ryan. So
Speaker 1: he's about same age as Matt Ryan. Interesting, he was
Speaker 1: the two thousand and eight draft pick. He has not
Speaker 1: played well though in a while. I mean, and and
Speaker 1: that's I mean. So there's no competition in Philly. If
Speaker 1: you're a coach, you're not even thinking about playing Flacco.
Speaker 1: You're you're going with the youth. Absolutely logs well done.
