1 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: Welcome into another Jags broadcast Week in Review podcast. I'm J. P. 2 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: Shadrick and today is Friday, April seventeen. This is a 3 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,240 Speaker 1: look back at the best from the past week of shows, interviews, 4 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: press conferences, and really anything that ran on Jaguars broadcasting 5 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 1: or digital channels. As you listen to this, we are 6 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: inside a week away from the twenty NFL Draft, so 7 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: that meant last week's highlights are draft heavy. We'll hear 8 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: from a couple of former Jags running backs, a few 9 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: NFL Network analysts, a pair of current Jaguars players, and 10 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: g M Dave Caldwell and head coach Doug Moro. Let's 11 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: start with the former Jaguars running backs, going back to 12 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 1: last Friday. In fact, Brian Sexton caught up with Maurice 13 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: Jones Drew, now an analyst with NFL Network. Plenty of 14 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: Jaguars talk, of course in that conversation, but the talk 15 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: later moved to the upcoming draft and what the Jags 16 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: could do at number nine. What one player could they 17 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: take on the first night of the draft that would 18 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: have you say, Wow, Isaiah Simmons from Clemson if there, 19 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's there or Derek Brown. I 20 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: mean when you talk about quarterback and I think two 21 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: is a guy. For me, that's just my that's my 22 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: personal opinion. I think he and he's he's a leader 23 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: and that's that's the most important to me. He's act, 24 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: he does all, he has all the answies, but he's 25 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: a leader. He's a true leader. Best player to me 26 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: would be Isaiah Simmons. I know a lot of people 27 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: like Chase Young, but it's funny because I knew he 28 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: was gonna run fast in the come. I don't know 29 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: he was gonna run that fast, but I actually stood 30 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: next to him. He's a man, the giant right six 31 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: four thirty pounds, and he can play safety, he could 32 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: play linebacker, he could play defensive bent on third, he 33 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: could rush the quarterback. He could cover tight ends and 34 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: slot receivers. But when you watch his tape, he plays 35 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: at four three all the time. The full conversation with 36 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: him j D now available on the team website and 37 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: we stay on the former Jack's running Back Team. I 38 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: caught up with Pride of the Jaguars member Fred Taylor 39 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: over zoom this week. He had plenty of thoughts about 40 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: the Jaguars season moves already, of course, but draft talk 41 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: took over there too. They could use another guy on 42 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: the outside right, I mean a wide receiver opposite chart. 43 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: That would be a really nice get earlier this draft. 44 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: It would be really nice. It would be really really nice. 45 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: The the receiver from Alabama, Jerry Judy. He's a great 46 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: skilled route runner, you know. I think he can get 47 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: better and catching the ball. He had some some drops, 48 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: but he's such a great route runner, and you need 49 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: that in the NFL because of the timing. You want 50 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: the precision. Uh and in the routes that the depths 51 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: the proper depths, knowing how to maneuver in zones, the 52 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: man versus man coverage. He's shown some great ability. So 53 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: I like Jerry Judy, and I also like Justin Jefferson. 54 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: You know, he's a guy I think would be really nice, 55 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: you know. And uh he's a guy who terrorizes the slot. 56 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: Think he was six one two oh five was somewhere 57 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: in that ball park and he showed outstanding hands at 58 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: L s U. Uh just his campaign last year was amazing. 59 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: So I and and he and uh DJ they have familiarity. 60 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: Then to L s U guys, I don't know if 61 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: we can handle three l s. U guys say we're 62 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: a little enough on tigers over here, Fred, But uh, 63 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: you know history usually works that way. Man. Uh those guys, 64 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: you know, they have some ability. We'll see what happens. 65 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: Or maybe even Derek Brown at nine. I mean I 66 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: liked every Brown at nine. First I said Calais was 67 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: you know, the priority was defensive line in my opinion. Uh, 68 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: he's the beast. He could play any position across the 69 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: board in my opinion. Uh, so I like him at nine. 70 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: You know I love that ninth pick. Ninth pick did okay? 71 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: Uh that was me for everything. Yeah, I couldn't. I couldn't. Yeah, 72 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: So that now I was ninth picking ninety eight. So 73 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: I got a lot of love for that slot. And 74 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: Derek Brown, like say, he's a beast out there, SEC 75 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: guy or either it just called back and get a 76 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: receiver at at twenty, who knows, but they got a 77 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: lot of room. The full video conversation with Freddie T 78 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: now on Jaguars dot Com onto a pair of NFL 79 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: Network Analyt's Charles Davis. First Off, as you've heard in 80 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: the build up to the draft, there are plenty of 81 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: ways that Jaguars could go at number nine. Here are 82 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: a few according to Davis. If somehow that young man 83 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: from Clemson, Isaiah Simmons drops to nine, I don't know how. 84 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: You don't hop on him there. Could they surprise us 85 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: all and grab one of those receivers early? Could they 86 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: go defensive line? Is Derek Brown still available from AUBURNE 87 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: is Javon kin Law in their wheelhouse from South Carolina 88 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: at number nine? And Dave called well as the GM, 89 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: I remember him pulling a fast one on all of 90 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: us with a guy named Blake Bortles then no one 91 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: saw coming. What if he decided, Hey, I'm gonna fool 92 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: you all in this draft and come back and get 93 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: another quarterback and create some competition for the guy already have. 94 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: Later in the week, former Redskins and Texans GM Charlie 95 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: Cassidy gave us some of the top cornerbacks that could 96 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: be available, not only at nine, but any I had 97 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: six corners in my first round. You know, you don't 98 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: have thirty two first round value picks. You never do. 99 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: Us to have about seventeen or eighteen on the average, 100 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: but you have thirty two picks. So some of these 101 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,239 Speaker 1: guys I put at the end of the first round 102 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: were the best player available at the position of the 103 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: most need. That's how I got there. But we're they're 104 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: picking uh Henderson of Florida. To me, he's a second 105 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: corner in his draft, but I don't think he'll be there. 106 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: I gave him Fulton, Kristen Fulton from h L s U. 107 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: I think this guy can start. I think he's an 108 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: excellent athlete. I think this guy can press as the 109 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: athletic ability to play off but but certainly he can press. 110 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: So there's a name to watch. Trayvon Diggs of Alabama's 111 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: another name to watch in there. So those are a 112 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: couple of corners that I think should be available at 113 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: that point and could definitely help our Thanks to all 114 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: the folks in the NFL network for making those conversations 115 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: happen over the last couple of weeks. Let's check in 116 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: with Jaguar's Drive Time. On Tuesday, Ashlyn Sullivan, Brian Sexton, 117 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: and John Osher dug into the ozone mail bag with 118 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: a draft theme. Jim says, here we go. I'm looking 119 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: forward to the draft a sense of normalcy and a 120 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: trying time. Do you agree with the decision to not 121 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: postpone it. John. Yeah, and is why I didn't talk 122 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: more about this in Big Things, because we'll be talking 123 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: about it here. Um. I have no problem with it. 124 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: I mean it's I get that there are going to 125 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: be people who look at it as if it's tone deaf. Um. 126 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: At the same time, you know, I'm not passionate about 127 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: it either way. If they were to post opponent, I 128 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: could see the point, But I don't know that you're 129 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: talking about something that they can pull off without putting 130 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: people in danger. If you're going to have something televised, 131 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: this is the thing that makes perfect sense. It won't 132 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: be as smooth as has been in the past. They might, 133 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: I think, Brian we talked. I think they might be 134 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: delaying the first round a little bit to give him 135 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: more time. They'll be hiccups, but frankly, the g ms 136 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: can pull this off, and they can communicate. There's not 137 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: as much in draft conversation and arguing as you might 138 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: see in like a drama created. If if you're prepared 139 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: for the draft as a GM, you've got your board 140 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: and there's not a lot of pounding the table and 141 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: people arguing over certain decisions. You know what guys you want, 142 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: you know your group, you know your strategy. I don't 143 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: think you're going to have that many draft errors or 144 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: dms coming out complaining about, well I didn't get to 145 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: pick this guy because of this format. I think it's 146 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: fine and uh, I think it will give people something 147 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: to watch. And I made most importantly, Brian, it keeps 148 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: the league on a schedule that it will enable it 149 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: to get back to normal because you're not pushing anything 150 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: back it well, and look, if you were gonna push 151 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: it back, when would you put it on. You couldn't 152 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 1: really put a date on it right now? Two weeks 153 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: at this point. Yeah, I mean, so if you're gonna 154 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: give them more time to do more work once this 155 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: thing lightens up a little bit, I mean, at some 156 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: point you push it off into perpetuity and you don't, 157 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: you don't get anything done. Um. Free agency may have 158 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: been toned deaf because we're talking about so and so 159 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: signed for a hundred million dollars. Um. The draft is different. Um, 160 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: it's new, it's fresh, and I'll be honest with you. 161 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: I mean I'm a news junkie, and for the first 162 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: two weeks of this thing, I watched everything I know 163 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: how to apply for the loans that Congress just passed, right, 164 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: because I've watched too much of that stuff. I turned 165 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: on the President's news conference every evening, and and that's 166 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: it because I'm so burnt out on pandemic COVID nineteen. 167 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: Wash your hands.

So those 205 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: main through things I'm really focusing on the most. He 206 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 1: mentioned the penalties there. Taylor had fifteen penalties called against 207 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: him last year, none of them declined. That's tied for 208 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: the league high and accepted penalties against any individual player 209 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: at any position. Hand placement technique are two big parts 210 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,359 Speaker 1: of that. Taylor at it as well.

On an Instagram live conversation with Ashland Sullivan 215 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: this week, Allen recalled that night a year ago He'll 216 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: never forget. Do you remember that time? And what do 217 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: you what? He stands out most? I guess from that night. 218 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: I mean that that time was just so surreal, you 219 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: know what I mean, just from just from thinking about 220 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 1: my journey on how I got there in the first place, 221 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 1: think about all the people that really helped me out 222 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: throughout the years man, and just having my name called 223 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: was definitely a surreal moment, and being able to walk 224 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: out there with Wesley Um was definitely something, you know, 225 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: definitely a moment I would never forget and and hopefully 226 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: at the moment he would never forget and just approve. 227 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: She eate just that failing man a year ago. Man, 228 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: That's that's crazy because a while but you know, I'm 229 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: Doova now. I'm glad they chose me, you know, and 230 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: I'm happy to be here. So Alan and Taylor were 231 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: the top two picks last year. Who will it be 232 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: this year? That's the million dollar question, of course. And 233 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: General manager Dave Caldwell and head coach Doug Marone held 234 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: their annual pre draft media conference this week. It's usually 235 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: held over a luncheon at the stadium, but this year 236 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: was held over Zoom and the Jaguars public relations staff 237 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: sent pizzas to each media member's house right after the conference. 238 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: It's always the last chance to discuss the draft with 239 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: the GM on the record, and Dave Caldwell knows with 240 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: twelve picks, there are plenty of options to improve this 241 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: football team. You know, this is the most draft capital 242 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: we've had here and and we need to hit on 243 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: all twelve and that's our and that's our philosophy and 244 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: in our processes that we want to make every one 245 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: of them count. And if if we could use one 246 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: of those to go maybe trade up and get a 247 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: guy that that we want in the select round, we'll 248 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: do that too. And and you never know, we may 249 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: we may acquaire some more throughout the draft. With speculation 250 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: surrounding the quarterback position in the draft this year, Doug 251 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: Maron was asked about Gardner Minshew's status and how the 252 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: team feels about the second year pro. We evaluate everyone 253 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 1: in his dram, so we evaluated, you know, the quarterback position, 254 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: just like we've evaluated the defensive en running back position, everything. 255 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: You know, And I think a lot of times you 256 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: look out there and you know, right now you know 257 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: this this question. I hope you already gets traight right now. 258 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 1: If we want to play garden men shows our guy, 259 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: and I'm excited about that. But do I want competition 260 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: for him? Absolutely? You want competition for everyone, though you know, 261 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to make it where you know, I'm 262 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: answering this question and Maron is not a confident or 263 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: Maron wants competition. I want, you know, just for the quarterback. 264 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: I want competition for everyone. The one thing about Gardner 265 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: that you know, he has shown some good things last year. 266 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: You know we did win obviously six games with him. Uh, 267 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: he's the guy right now that's working in the app 268 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 1: off me still again, you know how we're working on 269 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: getting a better football team. Like Dave said, if we 270 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: to break some one in or you know, the other 271 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: thing is they bring some people in around that can 272 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: help that position at quarterback. And we end this week 273 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: on a light note. On Thursday, I moderated a season 274 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: ticket member town hall over Zoom featuring Caldwell and Maron, 275 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: answering submitted questions from ticket holders, but also answering a 276 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: few live on video.

I think, I think 290 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: what they did for me. I have two brothers, I 291 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: have two other brothers and another sister, and they put 292 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: us all through uh good educations and really took care 293 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: of us and put us in positions to uh have 294 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: the careers that we've had. And they sacrificed a lot. 295 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: We did not come from a lot, and I think 296 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: they did everything they could do for their children. Doug, 297 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: what you got for us? Both my parents worked, you know, 298 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: growing up they had to work, and my grandmother pretty 299 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: much wasn't around the whole time. So I give a 300 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: lot of credits to my grandmother, you know, from the 301 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: standpoint of, you know, teaching me about parties in life, 302 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: teaching me about faith being first, you know, which was 303 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: really strong. And you know, she was the one that 304 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to go to church, and 305 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: she would drag me to church and forced me to 306 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: do those things, which I appreciate now. Later in life. 307 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: You know, if you don't have that support or you know, 308 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: at home, it's it's difficult to do. Um. The job 309 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: that we do is as coaches. And you know, then 310 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: she she talked to me about you know, obviously education. 311 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: You know, education was the next thing, which was the 312 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: third priority. So you know, when I was growing up, 313 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: my grandmother, because I love sports so much and I 314 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: wanted to play sports, so I used to have to 315 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: come home and you know, I'd have to do all 316 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: my homework for us, make sure we've done right, you know, 317 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: before I can, you know, go ahead and play sports. 318 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: And you know, so at an early age, I I 319 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: realized that, you know, education is more important than go 320 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: ahead and becoming a pro football player or a pro 321 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: baseball player, you know, when I was young. And it's 322 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: something that I appreciated from her. You know, we all 323 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: can be, you know, personal heroes to someone. Great stuff, CJ. 324 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: What a question.
