It's like it was like 12 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: the first day of school on Monday. Was dressed up nice. 13 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: You know, I'm probably doing pictures later. Yeah, shaved in 14 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: a month, so I'm not sure how nice he looked. 15 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: Just he looked like he'd been hanging out in the mountains. 16 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: Some were in a cave. Yeah, there's some excitement around here. 17 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: Training camp starts next week. John's seven days away whether 18 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: we like it or not, right, yeah, and that is 19 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: starting our news of the week. Training camp does start 20 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: next week and we are awaiting what practices will be 21 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: open to the public. We should expect that news sometime 22 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: this week. But that's going to be a pretty cool thing, 23 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: is seeing fans back out there again. It's something we've 24 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: missed for sure, and I can imagine that they might 25 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: have to cap help many fans are going to show 26 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: up to see Trevor Lawrence's first practice. John Well, I 27 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: think with a lot of things last year, if there 28 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: was a year for fans to miss, that was it 29 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: without the end. If there was a year for them 30 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: to come back, this is certainly it so as uh 31 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: Brian JP National. As we discussed all last year, everything 32 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: seemed to line up to point for mega excitement this 33 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 1: year and I expect training camp to be the first 34 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: example of that. Well, there were what eight thousand people 35 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: here when Blake Bortles made his rookie miniicamp debut. Can 36 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: you imagine if it was unfettered, if there was no limit, 37 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: how many people show up to watch Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 38 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: I mean I just don't think you can cap that number. 39 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: Now they're going to There's not a lot of space 40 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: out there, and obviously they're still some concerned with the virus, uh, 41 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: you know, lingering. But overall, I just the excitement level 42 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: is completely entirely unfettered. They could put this thing in 43 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: the stadium if they had a Fielter for something in there, 44 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: and and be just fine. Yeah, that's that's the way 45 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: that that feels. And it is excited. I mean because 46 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: we haven't seen fans in that environment in a long 47 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: long time, no matter what good, bad team or whatever. 48 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: And yes, it's Trevor Lawrence is gonna kind of drive 49 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: the bus here, but there's a lot of other exciting 50 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: young players that this fan base really hasn't had a 51 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: close up look at, including last year's real they weren't 52 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: trying to camp last year, so maybe they went to 53 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: some games, but to see all those guys together on 54 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: the field is gonna be fun. Yeah, it is amazing. 55 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: I think we sometimes forget because we go through practice 56 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: where they're every day. We're there for years, so you 57 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: forget how how exciting is I get I get questions 58 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 1: in the ozone mail bag. I'm always surprised how many 59 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: questions I get from people when his camp start. I 60 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: want to be there. Uh. The incredible interest level to uh, 61 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: you know, essentially standing bake in the sun, which which 62 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: that's what you're doing. But this year, I think there's 63 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: plenty of storylines to make that worth it. One other thing, 64 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: by the way, since we're mentioning the Ozone mail bag, 65 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: I found out this week that John hates the movie Rudy. 66 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: That's at didn't like the main character read it against 67 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: So I love the movie when it came out. But 68 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: then I actually was doing I was in which to 69 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: Kansas and I was doing a radio show and Rudy Ruder, 70 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: the original came through promoting the book in the movie, 71 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: and I sat with him in the studio at N 72 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: S S Radio and I hated him. I just I mean, 73 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: he was just the most he was abrasive, well hates 74 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: a strong word. I didn't enjoy the interview. I was glad. 75 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: I was so excited to do it because I had 76 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: seen Shawn Aston play him in such a humble role. 77 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: And he walked in with his chest puffed out I'm Rudy, 78 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: and I thought, oh boy, I just great movie. Come on. 79 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: The only great scene in the movie, I thought was 80 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: at the end when the guy who had sort of 81 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: mentored him saw it and he pumped his fist and 82 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: walked off like that was cool. I like the Vince 83 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: Vaughan caret. I like the part where his dad got 84 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: off the bus at Notre Dame. I wanted to get 85 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: back the first that's the most beautiful or something like that. 86 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: I really enjoy the movie. I just didn't enjoy the 87 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: actual Rudy. Something really embarrassing that I just realized like 88 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: a year ago. I had never seen Rudy until like 89 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: a year ago. And Hosiers and my softball coach, my 90 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: entire life, my nickname was Rudy. I was like, Oh, 91 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: that's so nice. He thinks I'm really good and I 92 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: have a really great future and wow, I'm a really 93 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: great softball player. And then I watched the movie. It's like, oh, 94 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: this is the guy that stinks great but works hard. 95 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: And I did like a movie, but what I really 96 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: That's why my nickname was that. You gotta be kidding me. 97 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: You tell me I'm not that good? All right, fine, 98 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: all right, let's move on with you, shall we. The 99 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: preseason schedule is finalized, and there was some confusion of 100 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: whether the Jaguars were going to have joint practices with 101 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: the Saints, and we have been confirmed they will not 102 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: be having joint practices. Those are hard to figure out 103 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: at times. So I saw a tweet and then like 104 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: five minutes later, I saw like ten tweets saying a word. Well, 105 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: I think there was a scheduled release. My understandings there 106 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: was a schedule release, either by the league or somebody 107 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: compiled the schedule. It was league or not. Yes, the 108 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: league tweeted out that the Jaguars would be and the 109 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: Jaguars had not infirmed it, And yeah, I think there, 110 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: as as is often the case, we joined practices. Uh, 111 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: they were probably discussions, conversations. My guess is they probably 112 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: discussed it with anybody who is eligible in that two 113 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: week window, and most teams do and there's uh, you know, 114 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: you say, hey, yeah, let's do it, and then yeside 115 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: not to Yeah, well, you know, John, I mean, and 116 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: I are particular from an era when the schedule was 117 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: put out you know, for practice and for preseason workouts 118 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: with other teams, and it never changed, nothing ever changed 119 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: throughout the course of the season. And now we're in 120 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: an era and COVID's only accentuated. There's everything seems to change, 121 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: right what you planned on, Okay, we're not gonna do that. 122 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: Now we're gonna do something different, a much more fluid 123 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: schedule than it ever has been. I don't like it. 124 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: Brian like, well, it's different. It's different. They're not asking 125 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: and finally we'll end on a positive note. Trevor Lawrence 126 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: was coming back from his honeymoon and then took his 127 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: receivers to Clemson to work out. We all saw it 128 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: on social media and they spent the weekend at the 129 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: Lakehouse and it looked like they had a great for them. Yeah, 130 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: and we didn't get invited, but it's fine. I wasn't 131 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: expecting it. So the video of them jumping in the 132 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: lake or whatever, it was cool, you know, throwing football's 133 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: at Clemson. That's cool. Oh that's cool. Um, But hey, 134 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: let's get real. Now it's time to go out there 135 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,119 Speaker 1: and see if they can do it out here. Well, 136 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: I mean it's from a football standpoint, who cares that 137 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: they they don't have Clemson to me. But from it, well, 138 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it's great, but it's not gonna change how 139 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: they played in the sea somewhere anyway. Right from a 140 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: camaraderie standpoint, from a leadership standpoint, from a game to 141 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: know you know that's what that sort of thing is 142 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: all about. And uh, it sounds very simple to say, well, 143 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: the young quarterbacks should do that. He should get it. 144 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: There are plenty of stories throughout you know, the years 145 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: where young quarterbacks have done that, but there are also 146 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: plenty of young quarterbacks that don't, who don't get it. 147 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: So this doesn't make Learns a Hall of Famer, but 148 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: it certainly shows that he gets what the role is 149 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: and he's so pitched perfect into how a player in 150 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: that position should act. I don't know that he's that unusual, 151 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: but it's good to say, well, he is everything that 152 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 1: he has been advertised to be. Um. And then the 153 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: second thing that stood out, you know to me, did 154 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: you do I think you read the article that was 155 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: in ESPN last fall about him and his black teammates, 156 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: you know, working through the race issues last year, so 157 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: that that just confirms his authenticity and and the genuine 158 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: nature of who he is. Totally agreed. All right, let's 159 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: get into big things, shall we go? Grying you're up well, 160 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: and I'll continue with the theme of this. So I 161 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 1: was I go out west every summer, got family out there. 162 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: I was at a family wedding in Montana, and the 163 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: people who were getting married were from southern California, from 164 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: Orange County, and so all of their friends were from 165 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: Orange County. And when I met them and they heard 166 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: what I do, all they wanted to talk about was 167 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. I turned the conference no tebo, by the way, 168 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: all Trevor right. Um, So I tried to turn the 169 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: conversation to the Rams and the Chargers. And what I 170 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: thought was really interesting was they were not interested in 171 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: either one of those teams. They're Orange County. The Rams 172 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: had been gone their whole life, right, These are kids 173 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: who've gone off to college. They were working, some of 174 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: them in Atlanta, New York and Chicago. They had moved 175 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 1: to other places. So they had no interest in the Rams. 176 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: Even though the Rams Matt Stafford and Jalen Ramsey and 177 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: that whole crowd, Aaron Donald not really interested in the Rams, right. Um, 178 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: You've got Justin Herbert, I mean, who had a an 179 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: awesome season. I mean really, I mean people should be 180 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: talking about him. They're not because he's the in team 181 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: in l A and because of COVID. They had no 182 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: interested in the Chargers because the Charges were San Diego's team. 183 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: So they are really interested in Trevor Lawrence because they 184 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: saw him play every weekend on the national broadcast that 185 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: Clemson was on. And it it led me to wherever 186 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: we were Idaho, Montana, you know, New Mexico, Wyoming, they're 187 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: the same place. No they're not, they're they're re markably different. Yeah, yeah, 188 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 1: there were markably different places and courage you all to 189 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: go um, but that's where I was this summer, and 190 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: people wanted to talk about Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars 191 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: and could hold a conversation about him, and so it 192 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: led to there is a genuine legitimate interest in the Jaguars, 193 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: and not just that that's the Jaguars. It's Jacksonville. You know, 194 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: the stuff we've all heard over the last ten years. 195 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: There are people who are like, what are they doing 196 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: down there? You know, tell me about what Urban Meyer. Well, 197 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: there's not as much to tell because you know, we 198 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: we didn't have the access that we all had in 199 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: years passed around here. But the story is about to 200 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: be written on the practice field in the preseason and 201 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: into the regular season, and there are a lot of 202 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: people that want to read it. That was my takeaway 203 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: from one of them from my summer out west. I 204 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 1: would not expect that from across the country. Old Jacksonville. 205 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: What's Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, that's it, Trevor and Urban. Yeah, 206 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: really it's driving it. Well. I think even I mean 207 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: Urban certainly gives you the base around here, and but 208 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: I think most college football is about the head coach. 209 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: NFL is about the quarterback. Urban certainly gives you a 210 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: chance to recreate the culture around here. But I doubt 211 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: they were talking that much about Urban. No, there was 212 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: one guy who was from Ohio that wanted talking about Urban. 213 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: But but I mean no, No, it was kids, it 214 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: was Lauren, the next generation. Anybody would tell you that's 215 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: the quarterback. That's that's the haircut, it's the bandana, it's 216 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: the personality. And now the time is now. They've never 217 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: with apologies to the great players here in the past, 218 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: they've never had any of them would tell you they've 219 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: never had this, because you know, an argument can be 220 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: made most NFL teams have never really had this come in. 221 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: This is one of the potentially one of the brightest 222 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: stars ever to come in here in terms of everything 223 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: that he brings. Now, there's been many other the brightest stars, 224 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: every queen in place. They haven't worked out, they work out. 225 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, but uh, the potential is unbelievable. Definitely, 226 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: is JP your big thing, kind sir. I'm ready to 227 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: see actual paths on players and see what this offensive 228 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: line can do for real. You know, it's one storyline 229 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: we didn't really get a chance to dissect too much 230 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: in the off season program because there's no contact. We 231 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: have a pretty good idea of what the interior of 232 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: the line is going to be. They're solid with Lender 233 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: and Norwell and Can and Shatley is the backup swing 234 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: guy there. That seems pretty solid, But we have a 235 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: lot of questions still about the tackles Um Cam Robinson's 236 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: on that the one year deal, the franchise deal, Joan 237 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: Taylor has had a lot of improving to do. Uh, 238 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: and Walker Little just signed his deal. He's here and 239 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: there's a lot of hope about his future. So what 240 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: will that end up looking like? I think at tackle 241 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: against this defensive line and training camp, I'm excited to 242 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: see them push some guys around. I thought it was 243 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: a really smart decision on urban Meyer's part to keep 244 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: George Warhopum because the continuity for that group of offensive 245 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: line move right. And when you look at the injuries 246 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: they dealt with with Brandon and with Norwell in recent years, 247 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: and obviously with the with Cam they didn't play like 248 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: a one in fifteen offensive line last year, they had 249 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: moments where they really played well. And so the continuity 250 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: they get with Warhop, who is acknowledged to be a 251 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: very good coach. Right, I'm not gonna say he's the best. 252 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: He's Alex Gibbs Part two, Um, but he's a really 253 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: good coach. And so now you've got some good players. 254 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: You've got more good players when you bring in a 255 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: Walker little right and what we think Ben Bartch might 256 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: be able to grow into. Now you've got a good 257 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: coach and a good nucleus of players who know each other. Okay, 258 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: let's see what you've got. I'm with you, GP. I 259 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: I think the potential for this offensive line to go 260 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: from being okay good at times two really good really 261 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: quickly exists. My guess is urban looked at and said, hey, 262 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: with offensive line, I'm not going to bring in a 263 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: college offensive line coach. The coach professional player that was 264 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: going to be one of the spots that he was 265 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: going to bring in bigtime NFL experience. War Up is 266 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: already here, and it was interesting to me. I think 267 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: it was the last offseason when Warhop was on the 268 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: Zoom call and he made the comment that some of 269 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: the techniques he learned take time to learn and that 270 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: his lines in his second year we're often a lot 271 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: better than his first year. And I'm not sure what 272 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: the details of those techniques or they don't talk about 273 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: that a whole lot, but I think that also played 274 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: in Look, you've got five guys. It's remarkable in this 275 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: day and age, these five. I don't know that a 276 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: J started Week one in two thousand nineteen a J 277 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: can where he was sharing in time with richardson whatever 278 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: it was. But when they if they're healthy kicking off 279 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: week one, it will be the third straight opening week 280 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: that they've been the starting offensive line. I would venture 281 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: a guess if you've been around the league, there's two 282 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: or three teams you could say that this is of 283 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: a designed with continuity and they may have the greatest 284 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: second round draft twist of all time and walk a little. 285 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: Has there ever been anything? He's going to be great, 286 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: But it's believable the amount of hype this kid has 287 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: basically from from his feet looking good in an O 288 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: T A prize. But it's true, like you feel so 289 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: much better knowing that he's there. If something happened, well, 290 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: he certainly looks at the part. Everything lines up from brother. 291 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's funny how because we have 292 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: so little to go on during a t S and 293 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: we've seen him five times and everybody you talked to, 294 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: Hey Walker, we don't know Falcolo commed. I mean once 295 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: he put on his pads against the NFL. But every 296 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: resume line and every box you want to check is 297 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: there for We talked about this before, but it bears 298 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: mentioning again. Last year, the Jaguars quarterback position was a 299 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: black hole. Right You're changing guys all over the place, 300 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: and the inconsistency of the play was noticeable. This was 301 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: not a team that could pass the ball, and yet 302 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: with an undrafted rookie running back, they gained more than 303 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: a thousand yards and there were moments where he really 304 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: looked like he could take control of a game. Well 305 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: that's the offensive line, you know. They created opportunities for 306 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: James Robinson to be able to run when the defense 307 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: stacked the line of scrimmage and said, if we stop him, 308 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: we win. We stop him, We've got control of this game. 309 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: This is a good group. The offensive line is a 310 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: good group of players, and they'll have more consist to 311 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: quarterback play again that could take them make that sight 312 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: quantum leap. All right, John, we're gonna talk about the 313 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: quarterback situation, and the Jaguars backup quarterback situation is so 314 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: much more interesting going into camp than I thought it 315 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 1: would be. And I'm going to assume here, even though 316 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: the team has not said it, I'm going to assume 317 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: that we're not talking about Trevor Lawrence as a backup quarterback, 318 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: even though they have not named the stars. So let's 319 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: let's just for the sake of argument, we would argue 320 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: about this, say that there's no quarterback competition even though 321 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: there is so. But um, I assumed incorrectly and probably 322 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: based off just, uh, you know, the way things were 323 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: looking and in the way people were talking the gardnerments, 324 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: she would not be here and be the backup quarterback 325 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: this year. You know, could he still be traded? Sure, 326 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: could there be a team has an injury there, But 327 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen now. But I also 328 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: don't necessarily know that the competition behind him. Gardner looks 329 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: so much better than uh uh c J. Bethward in 330 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: the off season, but that was only five practices that 331 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: we saw out of fifteen, and we don't know how 332 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,719 Speaker 1: they really feel. We don't know once the lights come on. 333 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: And everything I've heard is that Jake Luton looked pretty good, 334 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: and I know he looked good when I saw him. 335 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: They were impressed with that. I think, you know, my 336 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: guess is, if I had to rank him right now, 337 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: that it's Minshew is the backup. But I don't know 338 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: that that is necessarily written in stone, and I think 339 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: it's going to be a more interesting storyline than maybe 340 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: the backup quarterback has been around here a long long time. 341 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: I think it's worth pointing out, um, the the quarterback 342 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: position always has this you have to earn it, right. 343 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: Robert Slow yesterday said, yeah, Zach Wilson hasn't earned it yet. 344 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 1: He's the number two overall pick, right. He the guy 345 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: who took reps with the number one, And they're saying 346 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: in New York, yeah, Zach Wilson's not the guy, you know, 347 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: not yet he's got to earn it. Same thing they're 348 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: doing here. That's just that's coach speak. It's what they do. 349 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: Um So I'm with you on that. The backup quarterback position, 350 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: to me, I thought, financially, the commitment they made to c. J. 351 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: Bethard and the relationship that he obviously had with Trent 352 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: Bulky coming from San Francisco made Gardner Minshew expendable. But 353 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: then Gardner went and did what what players who love 354 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: the game do. So let's identify that he has a 355 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 1: love for the game, and not just the flowing hair 356 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: and the music videos and all that crazy stuff that 357 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: he does. But he went and proved me or John 358 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: or the coaching staff who may be thought, yeah, we're 359 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: gonna move him out. He's just here now. They he 360 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: proved us wrong. He gave them something to think about, 361 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: which is, by the way, great lesson for every player 362 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: who steps out on that field, and that is you 363 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: have the ability to change the narrative if you play 364 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: well enough, and so far he has. You know, we'll 365 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: see what he does in the preseason. Right, but based 366 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: on last year, it was it seemed like a foregone 367 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: conclusion that he didn't play well he was benched. He 368 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: didn't get back in the lineup until really late in 369 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: the season. I thought he was gone. He's changed that 370 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: narrative for now. C J. Besser. By the way, two years, 371 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: five million dollar contract, two point seven five guarantee. Yeah, 372 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: and when you look at that back, yeah, of course, 373 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: you know. I mean the money that they have spent 374 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: here to improve the facilities, the coaching staff, all of 375 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: that is two point seven five that much in NFL 376 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: dollars to prevent you from saying no, no, but if 377 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: it showed you that they wanted him. At one point, 378 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: they believed all indications, that the direction, all indications where 379 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew's gone because of that right there. Anybody who 380 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: follows the NFL knows that. And then he went and 381 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: changed the storyline. JP, well, I think everything is going 382 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: to depend on you. I apologize. I think everything's gonna 383 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: depend on preseason game reps. You're going to need to 384 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: see him in game action, because it's been before where 385 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: we've seen him on the practice feeling like all right, 386 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: you know that's gonna work, and then something happens during 387 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: the game where it's not successful. So I think it's 388 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: gonna be where they're going to have to switch them 389 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: out a good amount during preseason games. I also agree, 390 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: I apologize, it's not at all. That's where we're gonna 391 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: find out live, live bullets. You gotta go play, and 392 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: that's only when you're gonna find out a lot of 393 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: pretty much every position coming up. And I don't know 394 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: that the book is closed on Jake Luton yet, you know, yeah, 395 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: I mean, young guy, he's the kind of guy in 396 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: training camp. I mean maybe it's closed here. I don't know, 397 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: but there were times last year during training camp but 398 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,479 Speaker 1: I thought this kid's got a lot of ability. Uh 399 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: so we'll say, hey, look there is a market for young, developable, 400 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: develop a bull quarterbacks. Right. I go back to Rob Johnson. 401 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: It was Mark Brunel's team. He was the first pick 402 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: of the fourth round and he became Fred Taylor. If 403 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: you do a good job teach this kid football and 404 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: coach him up, some team that needs a quarterback is 405 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: going to offer you a pick for him in two years. 406 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: That there is value to that, just like you know 407 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: the soccer teams in Europe that have the academies that 408 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: develop young talent and then they trade or sell contracts. 409 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: Same thing here. You've got a young quarterback. He is 410 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: a commodity. Even if he's not your future, if you 411 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: develop him, he becomes someone else's future. Yeah. We always 412 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: said with Jake Luke and if if he didn't know 413 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: the backstory of anything, he had at times the best 414 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: arm on the team last year, and if he had 415 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: some touch. I mean I was talking to D. D 416 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: rest Brook. I remember when he was like, it's a 417 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: fastball coming at you, which can be a good or 418 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: bad thing. If he learns to have some touch on 419 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: the ball, he could definitely be an option. And don't 420 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: forget the wheels. Remember he spun around for the touchdown. Coach, 421 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: coach him up, see what he can become. And then 422 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: he is a key piece in your future if you 423 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: develop him, because you can get value for that position 424 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: for sure. All Right. My big thing is we we 425 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: like to assign. It's what we do. And I'm getting 426 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 1: lots of questions on Okay, well who's gonna be wide receiver? One? 427 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: You have to have one, so who's it going to be? 428 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: And my big thing is, I don't think you need 429 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: to have one. And I think we're seeing this trend 430 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: in the NFL where you don't have the Julio Jones type, 431 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: and if you don't, that doesn't mean you're not going 432 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: to be successful. I think, if I had to answer, 433 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: would be d J. Chark, But then I think maybe not, 434 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: Maybe it's Marvin Jones. And there's multiple guys you can 435 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,959 Speaker 1: put in that role, and I think we don't need 436 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: to assign it. Why do we have to? Brian? Yeah, 437 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry you say that. The quarterback will tell you 438 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: who who his his favorite target is. He'll decide, Yeah, exactly, 439 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: I mean why not live at I mean, are we 440 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: positioning him to be such a gadget player? I mean, 441 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: this is a guy who was mentioned after his sophomore 442 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: year is potentially being the number one overall pick, a 443 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: guy who could come out and be a top five 444 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: pick if it hadn't been for injuries his junior year. Um, 445 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: the quarterback will tell you he'll decide who he likes 446 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: the most, and by the way, that'll be the guy 447 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: who is all least where he's supposed to be when 448 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 1: he's supposed to be there. You know what people talk 449 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: about this because on NFL Network and ESPN when they 450 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: have round tables and NFL Live, they put up a 451 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: w R one and they talk about whose team has 452 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: a w R one. Not every team has a w 453 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,479 Speaker 1: R one and Ashlan's zactly right, you don't need it. 454 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: That's not really how most teams talk about their personnel. 455 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: If you have if you have a Julio Jones, yes, 456 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: you talk about it that way. I was with the 457 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: Colts for ten years. Marvin Harrison was there, Reggie Wayne 458 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 1: was there. They really really talked about one one. It 459 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: was whoever was open on that play got the ball. 460 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: Defenses also decided, hey, who do we have to cover 461 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: on a certain play? Ashons act right. The w are 462 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: one thing is something that's easy to talk about in 463 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: a round table, not as pertinent when these guys are 464 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: putting to other game plans. All right, I feel better now, 465 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: thank you. I was like, I don't know want to 466 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: answer that. I don't know. Do I have to have 467 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 1: an answer? You can have a bunch of wide receiver 468 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: twos and still have a productive offense. Yeah, alright, I 469 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: feel better now, Stop body quick calling? Right, all right, Joe, 470 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: do you have the buzz already? It's time for everyone. 471 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: Ask John it's your question, um my question, and this 472 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 1: is very much uh an unanswerable question in a way. 473 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: But aside from Trevor Lawrence, we're assuming that the next 474 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: five or six years are going to be memorable years 475 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: for this franchise, right ask the assumption that's the hope. Well, 476 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: if that's the case, you need more than Trevor Lawrence 477 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: as memorable generational players. So are the players on this roster? 478 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: Who would you think has a chance to someday be 479 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: in the Pride. And I'm gonna go quickly and say, 480 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: I think Miles Jack has a chance. He hasn't done 481 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: that yet, But if you're good for the next five 482 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: or six years, don't you think Miles Jack could play 483 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,239 Speaker 1: well enough earn a second or a third contract and 484 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 1: be memory may not be remembered by fans of this 485 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: team as a key point around here. If you're going 486 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 1: to be good, I think it would be good for 487 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: Miles Jack to be that good. So that's my answer, Ashley. 488 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: I would have to go I agree with Myles Jack, 489 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: and then I'd have to go with Josh Allen. Ha ha, 490 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: thanks for picking me because they were going to pick them. 491 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, I think will be here for a second 492 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: contract and will make a lasting impact on this franchise. 493 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: One of the best draft picks that we've had is 494 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: an asset to the team in all areas in the stadium. 495 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 1: I for sure see Josh Allen on some sort of 496 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: stadium wall one day, and I think it's the Pride. Now, 497 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 1: if it's Josh, it's okay, because obviously at players in 498 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: this roster right now, there's a good chance there's not 499 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: for players who are going to be in the prize. 500 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 1: If you guys want to pay Josh and Miles feel free. 501 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: I don't know you said current players, So Jalen's out. 502 00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: I guess if you're not walk back not for the back, right, 503 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: it's the Pride And then he's gonna get the busting 504 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: canton to Valker little right now. Um this because contracts. 505 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 1: DJ Charks in the contract year is gonna be around 506 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: long enough to do it. Like you don't got to 507 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: figure that out at the end of the year. Oh man, 508 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: give me, you know what, give me Jane Robinson if 509 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: he's this and they can keep him around and they 510 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: don't have to pay him through the nose at some 511 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: point they might have to. But it's a running back. 512 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: If he's that consistent for that long and he's keeping 513 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: this thing going on offense. Give me him just for arguments, Sike. 514 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: I'm the guy who argues that Brad Measter should be 515 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: up there for two dred nine. You know games, a 516 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: guy who rarely missed to play, let alone games until 517 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: you know season five or six. Um, and you've taken 518 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: all the players. So let me make a case for 519 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: a guy who is a really good football player. It's 520 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: not legit. I don't think he's gonna put in there, 521 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: but I mean Brandon, and there's a guy who's been 522 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: around here for a long time, has played at a 523 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 1: very high level. If not for injuries, I think he 524 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: would be recognized more around the league for the type 525 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: of football player that he is. Um. And if he 526 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: stays around. He's in the last year his contract too. 527 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: If he were to sign on and be part of 528 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: the resurgence of this offensive line, I think you could 529 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: see Brandon Lender take his game to another level and 530 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: be that guy too. I get it, he's not that 531 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: explosive playmaker, um, but you know, I think he's a 532 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: guy who is significant to this franchise, even though the 533 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 1: franchise only had has one winning season in his time. Here, 534 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: And the point of the question is if they're going 535 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: to be as good as everybody hopes they are, they're 536 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:44,959 Speaker 1: gonna need somebody out of these thirty to have seasons 537 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: that you look back on and go, hey, that was 538 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: really important, that was memorable. He made big plays. So 539 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: I think there's players on this roster that can do it. 540 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: I was just curious to see who you guys thought 541 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: I could do it. Well, that's a great question, John 542 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: Way to bring it well, No, and mine is a 543 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: little bit more on the serious side because the storyline 544 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: with this Delta variant that is starting to get attention 545 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: in places like l A and New York, UM and 546 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: and d C. You know, that could affect the trajectory 547 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: of this season again, um, depending on how it goes. 548 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: So there's this issue with players who have vaccinated players 549 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: who are not. I think thirteen teams are above and 550 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: two teams are below the fifty And so that brings 551 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: into how are you gonna balance this this year because 552 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna have guys who don't have to wear masks, 553 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: who can eat lunch together, who can you know, go 554 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: out and leave the hotel and the rules are different 555 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: for two different sets of players, so you're gonna have 556 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: some teams. I think the Steelers are one of the 557 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: teams i've heard that's above. They're going to be closer 558 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: to normal than the Colts, So I think are one 559 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: of the teams i've read that are under fifty. Right, 560 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: how does this affect the season? Is it a tremendous 561 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: advantage for the Steelers and a tremendous decid manage for 562 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: the Colts or is it all just a crapshoot based 563 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: on how they manage things last year. I think it's 564 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: an incredible disadvantage. And I was watching NFL Network and 565 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: Michael Irban was saying it was a hot take for sure. 566 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: He was saying, if you are committed to winning, you 567 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: need to get the shot, and correlating the two, saying 568 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: that teams are going to have a much higher upper 569 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: leg over this threshold. So if you really want to win, 570 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: get the vaccine, which I understand is is a hot take, 571 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: but there is something to say with that. I mean, 572 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,719 Speaker 1: the rules are totally different, I would say this, and 573 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: some teams need the rules and the guidelines and things 574 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: to keep everybody on course. That might be a different 575 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: way to look at it, especially like a young team. Hey, 576 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,239 Speaker 1: you've got to be in this certain area in a 577 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: certain time at a place, and there's rules and regulations 578 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: all no matter what for every team. But I don't know, 579 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: maybe that's a wrong way to look at it, but 580 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: maybe some teams might might use this to their advantage 581 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: to keep guys on the straight and there a little more. 582 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: This is around of time all rup JP. I think 583 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: you're right at anybody. Everybody so far is right. But 584 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: I do think you can't predict the future in this 585 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: vaccine thing. We're learned that with COVID every week you 586 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: were learning last year. But it certainly feels I felt 587 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: like in February March that you had a chance at 588 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: NFL season sort of being much freer from all the 589 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: weekly COVID stories that were last year. Right now, just 590 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: judging by what I read, I'm not a doctor, but 591 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: I play one on the radio. Um, it feels like 592 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna be situations again this year where there's a 593 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: chance you're gonna maybe not games canceled, but it feels 594 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: like there's gonna be a good chance that you're gonna 595 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: have key players out of games because of COVID, because 596 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: you're already seeing a cocoa goths out of the Olympic. 597 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: I mean, different athletes have had to pull out the Olympics. 598 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: I think it's probably gonna happen in the NFL, and 599 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: I think it will be a story, not as biggest story. Well, 600 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: and look the reporting suggests, and and I'm not sure 601 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor either, that this surges among unvaccinated people. Right, 602 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: So that's giving the NFL Players Association and the NFL 603 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: and the coaches even more credibility to go, hey, guys, 604 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: if we're going to get through this season. But if 605 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: you still can't force them, you're still gonna You can't. 606 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: You can't get a personal decision, personal decision, just one 607 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: more thing on your point. Um, A young team like this, boy, 608 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: it's a tremendous advantage if you have everybody in the 609 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,719 Speaker 1: same room doing the same thing. A team like the Bucks, 610 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: you know, that veteran heavy team, it doesn't matter to them. 611 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: I don't think you know, because Tom Brady is gonna 612 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: come in the end and he's going to change any problems. 613 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: He's going to smooth it out and level it out 614 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: for that football team. But for this football team here 615 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: getting to that threshold where they can all be in 616 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: the same place at the same time, doing the same thing. 617 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: I think that's pretty important for urban Meyer and for 618 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: his quarterback. Yeah, totally great to have everyone in the 619 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: same room getting to know each other. Says something, all right, JP, 620 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: your question, how quickly will the Jaguars defense doubled their 621 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: sack total from a season ago? That sack total a 622 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: season ago was twelve twelve for the entire season for 623 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: this Jaguars defense, and I remember seen they had ten 624 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: sacks week one. Um, that's a little different defense obviously 625 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: than the last year's group. How quickly, John, will they 626 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: double their sack total week eleven? And you know, because 627 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: I put him on pace for what probably like thirty 628 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: one thirty two sacks if I mean, I didn't do 629 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: the math. It feels like I don't think they're going 630 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: to be a I'd be surprised if his pass rush 631 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: is as good as two thousands seventeen. I'd be surprised 632 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: if it's one of the greatest pass rushes in team history. 633 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be better if they double 634 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: their sack total from twelve and get to thirty or 635 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: thirty one for the season. Then he had a good season, 636 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: So I would guess that's about the level of improvement 637 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: you can expect. I don't expect ten in week one. 638 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: You know, one of the reasons why this team couldn't 639 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: rush the pastor last year was because they were so 640 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,839 Speaker 1: far behind in so many games that there weren't as 641 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: many opportunities. And I think with an offense to the 642 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,839 Speaker 1: table to score points and keep games closer, and if 643 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: you have Josh Allen on the field, you know you're 644 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: gonna have a greater opportunity. So I'll be more aggressive. 645 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: And I'll say by the bye week they've got twenty 646 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: four sacks. I don't think that means they're gonna get 647 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,280 Speaker 1: forty eight on the season. But I think this defense 648 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 1: is going to come out. I think they've done enough 649 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,720 Speaker 1: to be able to be more aggressive, which is obviously 650 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: Joe Collins m O and I think we're gonna early on, 651 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: they're going to carry the day. I can see some 652 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: of those players making an impact early week seven, halfway 653 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: through the season. So you guys think they're going to 654 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs, they do well. I just said I don't 655 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: think that they're necessarily a forty eight sack team. But 656 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: I think there's going to be opportunities early for them 657 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: to be able to get after it because I think 658 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: the schedule is more favorable to them early where they 659 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: can stay in games. I suppose there's that six games 660 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: stretch where you've got the Rams and the Seahawks on 661 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: the road. Okay, So I'm saying early on, I think 662 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,839 Speaker 1: they'll have more success. I mean, I think, like you, 663 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: I think there are they're capable. If you look at 664 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: the talent in the scheme of of being a thirty 665 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: two three, you know, upper half of the league perhaps 666 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: in terms, I feel really good about that. Yeah, I 667 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,399 Speaker 1: think halfway we get around there. Double It's not hard 668 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: to double that. Okay was the question meet it or 669 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: double it? I can't remember now double it? Double it? 670 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 1: Okay at halftime of the eighth game of the season. 671 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: And you guys better come and tell me if they do, 672 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: and if I'm wrong, let me know, all right. My 673 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 1: question is we all have our stories about fans and 674 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: interactions at games and training camp, and we missed that. 675 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: So what did you miss most about having those fans 676 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: interactions at games, at practices, training camp? What did you 677 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,720 Speaker 1: miss most about it um, people yelling at John Osier, 678 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,359 Speaker 1: no um. The noise on a big play. You know, 679 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: the fans in the stands get to see, you know, 680 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: practice and drills and all that. But when it's eleven 681 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: on eleven and there's a deep ball that's connected and 682 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 1: you know that noise, that that excitement level, I think 683 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 1: is what we missed last year. That's what I got, 684 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: just the energy. I mean. I keep a Washington Football 685 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 1: team helmet on my desk that I have it I 686 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: was a kid. It's a plastic helmet. I got it 687 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,919 Speaker 1: from Sears. They used to run around, you know, play 688 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: football in the backyard with it. And are you laughing 689 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: at Sears used to be the department store. It started 690 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,479 Speaker 1: as a catalog series and Roebuck back in the old days. 691 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 1: There to remind me that I've been doing this forever 692 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: and it feels like and you know, you get a 693 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 1: little jaded. But when I was a kid, I was 694 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 1: in jade. I thought this was like I thought the 695 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: NFL was the greatest thing in the world. And so 696 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: I give it here to remind myself that readers and 697 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: our fans still feel that way. So you miss training 698 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: camp when you see the kids who still look at 699 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: this as the most amazing thing in the world. To 700 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 1: see this up close when the fans aren't here, you 701 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: don't see that. Totally agree. I'm not sure how if 702 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,839 Speaker 1: this answers your question or not. But ten twelve years ago, 703 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 1: when Jack Delil was the head coach here, they did 704 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 1: the Oklahoma drill out on the field, and the night 705 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: that they did the Oklahoma drill, they did it under 706 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: the lights. So they practiced a little bit later and 707 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 1: people started showing up earlier, and a fire truck pulls 708 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 1: up and they put the ladder up. They hang the 709 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 1: American flag from the ladder, and then the the the 710 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: fireman went and sat on rungs of the ladder. It 711 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,760 Speaker 1: was Americana, right. Football is such a fabric of American life. 712 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: And the last year it hasn't it hasn't felt like that. 713 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,879 Speaker 1: The last year it's felt like a video game, right, 714 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: something that you watched from afar, but not something that 715 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: you took part in. And that night is always one 716 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: of my favorite training camp nights because the people could 717 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: touch their heroes, right, they could touch their football team. 718 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:29,720 Speaker 1: And I think those stories, those memories are what's missing. 719 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: It's the memories that make us rich in life. It's 720 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,840 Speaker 1: not the things, it's the people and the memories that 721 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 1: we accumulate over the course of our lives. And that 722 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: was a very memorable night. And and every fan who 723 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 1: comes in here has a different memory from a game, 724 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,280 Speaker 1: from a practice, from an interaction. I missed the memories 725 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 1: that are made very cool. That's a cool story. I've 726 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: never heard that before. I'll take the memories, leave the 727 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: Oklahoma drill where it is. Yeah, that's let's take well. 728 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: And what people may forget was that was the night 729 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,320 Speaker 1: that tyson of Lalu pop du Jeez now were on 730 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 1: the story pcl and and was never able to be 731 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: the players into raptive, wasn't for nine or we can 732 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,319 Speaker 1: overall at week?
