Speaker 1: a chance to catch up on some of the film
Speaker 1: of these guys. He had already looked at the first
Speaker 1: round picks in the pre draft process, but then down
Speaker 1: the list a little bit. We'll go today. We'll here
Speaker 1: from NFL dot Com columnist and reporter Judy Batista, longtime
Speaker 1: reporter for The New York Times covering the National Football League,
Speaker 1: has been with the NFL media since about We'll get
Speaker 1: Judy's take, if she's been very good on social media lately.

Speaker 1: to maybe get league our team facilities around the league
Speaker 1: back open. We'll hear from Judy coming up. Senior writer

Speaker 1: whole boatload of NFL head coaches, including Doug Morone, schedule
Speaker 1: to join on NFL Network. Doug Moron will join us
Speaker 1: on our schedule release show presented by mcwan's Heating and
Speaker 1: air Conditioning. That's its seven thirty tonight, So I catch
Speaker 1: the Jaguar's head coach reaction to the Jags schedule coming
Speaker 1: up a little bit later this evening. Our first well,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say our first guest, but our co
Speaker 1: host is Jeff Logoman and he joins us on the
Speaker 1: phone line. Now, Logs, are you there, and good afternoon,
Speaker 1: Hey Jaffe. I'm looking forward to the NFL Network doing
Speaker 1: a little something different tonight than what they've done in
Speaker 1: the past, you know, the schedule release and involving coaches,
Speaker 1: and I think that's gonna be nice. You know. I
Speaker 1: don't want to say that the virus has had a
Speaker 1: positive effect on on some broadcasting ideas, but it definitely
Speaker 1: has made some people think in different direction and also
Speaker 1: has given I think some good ideas, uh to kind
Speaker 1: of to change it up a little bit, I guess
Speaker 1: you could say, and make it a little bit more
Speaker 1: personal and and cover a little bit more geographic areas
Speaker 1: and get more people and talk to more people and
Speaker 1: find out their thoughts. So I'm looking forward to it tonight.
Speaker 1: You know, I found that interesting about the draft coverage
Speaker 1: to right logs because everybody's used to have, you know,
Speaker 1: fifteen people in a draft room at a team facility,
Speaker 1: no family involved. It's just business and you have a
Speaker 1: camera in the corner and that's it. It's not you
Speaker 1: can't really as a as a regular fan, you can't
Speaker 1: really relate to that. Well, this year you had Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick's dog on the chair in the kitchen Nike. Man,
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. Is he is? He a wolf? Is
Speaker 1: the husky? Who knows? But man, it's a cool looking dog.
Speaker 1: And it was just good to see some personality, you know,
Speaker 1: the draft. I mean forever, you know, even the Jaguars.
Speaker 1: I mean for for every draft that's ever been existence
Speaker 1: in existence, JP, you know, the drill. We'd go in
Speaker 1: there and we will get ready to do a radio show,
Speaker 1: and there would be security guards posted at certain places
Speaker 1: around the building. Oh no, no, no, no, no, you
Speaker 1: can't go past this point. You know, only authorized personnel only,
Speaker 1: like it was protecting Fort Knox, you know. And then
Speaker 1: this year rolls around and everybody is forced to do
Speaker 1: things differently, and here we get a look at at
Speaker 1: families and kids getting involved in helping dad out or
Speaker 1: you know, helping coach out, whatever you want to call him.
Speaker 1: And it just provided a different perspective. I think that
Speaker 1: really needed to be seen by NFL fans, and it
Speaker 1: really kind of put a little bit of personality into
Speaker 1: a lot of people that really don't have any from
Speaker 1: what the public has seen. So you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: let me say it. I mean, Bill Belichick, did did
Speaker 1: you ever think that he would have a dog and
Speaker 1: sitting in his chair and you know, like like I
Speaker 1: never thought Bill Belichick would like anything other than football.
Speaker 1: It was good, man, it was good and and and
Speaker 1: and here's the other thing. The NFL and coaches and personnel.
Speaker 1: People take it away too serious, you know, as far
Speaker 1: as oh, I've got a grind, I've got to put
Speaker 1: the hours in. I can't have the distraction of my
Speaker 1: kids and my family. It was good, man, it was good.
Speaker 1: It was good to see that, and I think it
Speaker 1: was good to enlighten a lot of people in the
Speaker 1: National Football League. Look, let's let's just take a step
Speaker 1: back and realize what's the most important thing in life
Speaker 1: and put everything in perspective a little bit. Jeff log
Speaker 1: went with US Jaguars analysts Jaguars Happy Hour on this Thursday,
Speaker 1: May sevens. Let's get into the spoils of the NFL
Speaker 1: draft for the Jaguars and will start in the first round.
Speaker 1: C J. Henderson ninth overall, Caleb and Chase on the
Speaker 1: defensive ended linebacker overall from l s U. I know
Speaker 1: you had watched these guys leading up to the draft,
Speaker 1: but now that they're wearing teal and black, what did
Speaker 1: you make of the selections and what did what did
Speaker 1: you what have you seen on Phil? Let's start with Henderson.
Speaker 1: What kind of player is he? I think he's got
Speaker 1: I think he's got pretty good mechanics. I think he
Speaker 1: has really good speed. Um. The one thing that I
Speaker 1: would like to have seen was making more plays on
Speaker 1: the ball, you know, because I didn't watch his junior year,
Speaker 1: so I can't sit back and go, oh, he had
Speaker 1: he had the interceptions the year before that. I didn't
Speaker 1: see any, you know, last year. So but there's one
Speaker 1: thing I think that you don't question that he's athletic
Speaker 1: and he can run. And when you start talking about
Speaker 1: the requirements to play corner in the National Football League,
Speaker 1: he'd better be able to run and you better be
Speaker 1: able to be fluid in athletic and I think he
Speaker 1: fits those bills. And I think he definitely needs to
Speaker 1: take some steps forward. I mean, we're not talking about
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey walking in the door here or Dion Sanders.
Speaker 1: I don't want anybody to make any mistake and think
Speaker 1: that this guy is just gonna walk in the door
Speaker 1: and C. J. Henderson is gonna be a lockdown corner
Speaker 1: and he's gonna take the best wide receiver weekend and
Speaker 1: week out. The best wide receiver is not gonna do anything.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's where he's at. I think he's
Speaker 1: got to have he's got some developing to do, and
Speaker 1: I think he certainly got all of the prerequisites to
Speaker 1: be able to fill that role of eventually because he's
Speaker 1: got the hight, he's got the weight, he's got the speed,
Speaker 1: he's got the athleticism. But he's just got to develop
Speaker 1: and I think that that he's got a chance to
Speaker 1: because all the reports are is that this young man
Speaker 1: has a lot of the the intangibles, the non physical
Speaker 1: trades to be able to allow himself to develop. As
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that, he may not be at
Speaker 1: that point now where he's a Pro Bowl level or
Speaker 1: All Pro type player, but as a top ten draft pick,
Speaker 1: at some point he better be or it's not a
Speaker 1: great pick, right, sure, sure, I mean, look it's it's
Speaker 1: the same thing, the same thing you could probably say
Speaker 1: about Leonard Fournet. Is his production good? Yeah? It's good?
Speaker 1: Is it is it great? No? It's not great. I mean,
Speaker 1: look at the Jaguars had him on the trading block
Speaker 1: around the draft, and when you're a top ten pick
Speaker 1: running back, you know you're expected to be you know
Speaker 1: the bomb, I mean, the player that's not meant to
Speaker 1: be traded or the first contract runs out because you know, look,
Speaker 1: the reality he is that we're when you have a
Speaker 1: a top ten talent on a rookie contract, that's he's
Speaker 1: really good. He's very inexpensive. So yeah, I mean, when
Speaker 1: you are picking in the top ten, man, your top
Speaker 1: ten picks need to be elite players, not just good players,
Speaker 1: but they need to be elite players and if not,
Speaker 1: if not elite, they need to be foundational players building
Speaker 1: blocks for the future. And that's certainly part of the
Speaker 1: bigger issue for the Jaguars organization over the last decade
Speaker 1: to twelve years. Not enough of those guys have been
Speaker 1: have lived up to that potential or stuck around long
Speaker 1: enough to live up to that potential. Jeff Logman with
Speaker 1: US Jaguars Analysts Jaguars Happy Hour, Caleb and Chase on
Speaker 1: is an interesting guy to me, lugs, because you know,
Speaker 1: he can do a bunch of different things. That feels like.
Speaker 1: But then you ask us some of the SEC head
Speaker 1: coaches we talked to after the fact, and that the
Speaker 1: main thing they were worried about with him was just
Speaker 1: the pass rush, not much of anything else. They had
Speaker 1: to make sure they got him stopped in the pass
Speaker 1: rush game. Yeah, he's a good pass rusher. And I
Speaker 1: think the one thing that separates him from a lot
Speaker 1: of you know, linebacker type pass rushers, because that's kind
Speaker 1: of what I would classify him, is he's got a
Speaker 1: little bit more size, He's got a little more stoutness,
Speaker 1: and you know, everything kind of has to be taken
Speaker 1: with a grain of salt with Klavana. Is that because
Speaker 1: he is coming back from a significant knee injury last year,
Speaker 1: so his numbers were okay, He's got the athleticism, he's
Speaker 1: got hips, he's got speed, he's got a really nice
Speaker 1: way to bend around the edge. Um, it's not he
Speaker 1: doesn't quite have the bend that Josh Allen has. Uh
Speaker 1: doesn't quite have the hips that in Gokway has as
Speaker 1: far as bending the corner. But he's got a little
Speaker 1: bit of a fierce mentality to him that I really like.
Speaker 1: The one thing that I think that is not good
Speaker 1: is that sometimes you go, Okay, where is he and uh?
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he's a di appearing act, but
Speaker 1: the consistency of performance, you know, whether it's against UH,
Speaker 1: this guy on on five plays, where were you for
Speaker 1: five plays? Because there were certain games that he didn't
Speaker 1: make a lot of impactful type plays. So I think
Speaker 1: the consistency is something that that he definitely needs to
Speaker 1: work on. But he is I think one of those
Speaker 1: guys that goes into the mold of of Josh Allen
Speaker 1: and also and got Way and that. Look, if this
Speaker 1: football team, Jaguars defensive coordinator Todd Walsh wants to dial
Speaker 1: up three four, hey, he can play three four. If
Speaker 1: he wants to dial up for three, he put his
Speaker 1: hand in the ground and play for three. Or he
Speaker 1: can move on over to Sam just like any of
Speaker 1: the other two guys can do that. So I think
Speaker 1: he gives them great flexibility. Uh. And and he plays hard.
Speaker 1: That's one thing I like about him is that he
Speaker 1: plays hard. But I don't think the consistency of performance
Speaker 1: is quite there, and it's something that he can work on.
Speaker 1: Two so and and none of these top picks and
Speaker 1: people had the expectation, Oh you know, if you're drafted
Speaker 1: to somebody in the first round, they need to be consistent.
Speaker 1: They need to to not fade away in one game.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, everybody's got a little bit of a knock.
Speaker 1: Uh And I love Chase him. I think he's got
Speaker 1: a great motor, and I think he's gonna be a
Speaker 1: good football player for this team for for many years
Speaker 1: to come. Jeff Lockman with us. We've got a few
Speaker 1: minutes left with you here, Logs. So let's get through
Speaker 1: some of these other higher round picks that we haven't
Speaker 1: had really a bunch of a chance to discuss. And
Speaker 1: I know you've watched since the draft, and I think
Speaker 1: since we've talked about them. And let's start with the
Speaker 1: Colorado wide receiver Leabiscus Chennault. You know we talked to
Speaker 1: melt Tucker the other day, Logs and head coach of
Speaker 1: Michigan State. Now, he was at Colorado last year and
Speaker 1: they used him all kind of different ways, left receiver,
Speaker 1: right receiver, slot at tight end, lined him up in
Speaker 1: the backfield, gave him the wildcat options sometimes. I mean
Speaker 1: they used him baker athlete. Is he a wide receiver?
Speaker 1: And then does that translate to that all that different
Speaker 1: kind of stuff in the NFL? Well, I think he
Speaker 1: his skill set is that he's physical, he's big, He's
Speaker 1: not like a typical wide receiver. Now, I mean this
Speaker 1: is a this is a imagine Leonard for Nette line
Speaker 1: up at wide receiver. I mean that's that's how big
Speaker 1: is he? Six one? I mean, think about that. I
Speaker 1: mean that that's a big wide receiver in the National
Speaker 1: Football League. And he plays the game like it And
Speaker 1: that's what I like. He He's willing the bang, he's
Speaker 1: willing to finish plays. He's physical, he breaks tackles. Is
Speaker 1: he going to run away from people? Uh like Tyreek Hilt? No,
Speaker 1: is he gonna get the sideline amped up because he
Speaker 1: just truck to two guys and and stiff armed another
Speaker 1: one to gain an extra ten yards. Oh yeah, that's
Speaker 1: him all day long. So a physical presence, and I
Speaker 1: think he'll be somewhat of a security blanket for the
Speaker 1: quarterback eventually, just because he's dependable and he makes a
Speaker 1: lot of tough catches and quarterbacks gonna learn to trust
Speaker 1: a guy like that. We'll see if he can block too.
Speaker 1: If he's that physical in the passing game, maybe he
Speaker 1: can throw a block or two in the run game too. Yeah. Look,
Speaker 1: if you're six one seven, if you can't block, you
Speaker 1: don't deserve to be on in the NFL field. Right
Speaker 1: watch receiver us Davon Hamilton's nose tackle Ohio State and
Speaker 1: and that's a line in in Columbus the last few
Speaker 1: years where a guy like Hamilton's can get overshadowed with
Speaker 1: all the superstars on the outside that have gone to
Speaker 1: the NFL. From that line, Davon Hamilton's a run stopping
Speaker 1: nose tackle right, Yeah, and uh, I'd like to see
Speaker 1: a little bit more knee bend down to him. But
Speaker 1: what really impressed me was his tape at the Senior Bowl,
Speaker 1: and I thought he with, you know, at the elevated competition,
Speaker 1: because I mean, look, when you go to an All
Speaker 1: Star game like that, you know you're talking about competing
Speaker 1: against some of the guys that are getting drafted right
Speaker 1: around you. And I thought his level of play really
Speaker 1: rose watching that the practice tape and also the game
Speaker 1: tape from from the Senior Bowl, So that was impressive.
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of upper body strength. He can
Speaker 1: shuck blocks and throw him aside and make plays which
Speaker 1: he had just a little bit more knee ben to him.
Speaker 1: But big, strong, powerful man, that's that's gonna be able
Speaker 1: to stuff up the middle. I don't know how much
Speaker 1: pass rush he's gonna give you. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's his strength. I mean it's it's okay at times,
Speaker 1: but this is a run stopping. We need to get
Speaker 1: the third down pick right here. Quick thought on shock quarterman,
Speaker 1: local guy oak Leiff High School. What to Miami? I
Speaker 1: love his personality, Love his personality. How's the field stud
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about great instincts, knows for the football,
Speaker 1: he's a little bit like pause and that look his
Speaker 1: step is already he's already taken a step in the
Speaker 1: direction that he needs to go, almost ahead of the
Speaker 1: running back at times where he's making a tackle and
Speaker 1: finds his way through traffic really good. I think the
Speaker 1: Jaguars and fans are gonna really like this young man
Speaker 1: because he plays hard, he's physical, he's got excellent instinct
Speaker 1: I'll maybe the one limitation that he might have and
Speaker 1: that it might be as a space player a little bit,
Speaker 1: but uh, he'll give you great effort every time. And
Speaker 1: I think that he's got a real chance of being
Speaker 1: a future starting MIC and uh, because that's what he is.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you wanted to like take him back
Speaker 1: to the nineteen eighties where football is about running the
Speaker 1: ball linebackers for to forty two hundred fifty pound the
Speaker 1: Matt Millan type man. This this this young man would
Speaker 1: fit right in that. He's about thirty years maybe past
Speaker 1: that type of game. We'll see. I mean he could
Speaker 1: be uh he still can play suld still play the game.
Speaker 1: I mean this will mean, I mean that's really yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's really his strength. I mean he runs well,
Speaker 1: he's got great instincts and he's physical. Man. Like a
Speaker 1: guard comes up to block him, he doesn't just sit
Speaker 1: there and go, oh, here comes to guard. He's turning
Speaker 1: and attack in the guard to make himself at the
Speaker 1: strength and position to where then he can get off
Speaker 1: of the block in a faster in a faster way.
Speaker 1: So that's the one thing I really like about he
Speaker 1: is he is an attacking player from the snap to
Speaker 1: the end. I love those kind of guys. Jeff Lagman
Speaker 1: was one of those kind of guys. To Jaguars analysts,
Speaker 1: Now our time is up, my friend. We'll talk to

Speaker 1: to Jeff Logovan Jaguars Analysts, for joining us talking breaking
Speaker 1: down some of the film of the draft picks. The
Speaker 1: early draft picks for the Jacksonville Jaguars. We'll hear from
Speaker 1: logs each and every week. Let's go to the phone
Speaker 1: lines now. Welcome in our next guest from NFL Network
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com columnist Judy Batista with us. Judy, it's
Speaker 1: great to speak with you again. How are you? It's
Speaker 1: great to talk to you. I'm well, how are you?
Speaker 1: We're hanging in there here in Jacksonville. Where are you?
Speaker 1: Are you in New York? What's great? And in New York? Yes,
Speaker 1: that's where I live. Okay. So what's the situation the
Speaker 1: daily set up for you? Where can you go? What
Speaker 1: can you do? How's life? Uh? Life is fine, thankfully,
Speaker 1: we're all healthy. Um, we don't really go much anywhere
Speaker 1: right now. Um, but you know, we're working at home
Speaker 1: and a daughter does school from home, so we're rolling along. Um,
Speaker 1: we're doing okay. It's it's interesting how some parts of
Speaker 1: the country is starting to change. We're opening up a
Speaker 1: little bit more down here now, and I think that's
Speaker 1: gonna be a big part of how the league's response
Speaker 1: to this thing goes. Judy, it's they want that competitive balance.
Speaker 1: So I guess the question we'll get to the schedule
Speaker 1: and all that coming up, But the next trick after
Speaker 1: the schedule is at what point do league facilities all open?
Speaker 1: And competitive balance is really the the main, the central
Speaker 1: focus of the league, I think when it comes to that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is certainly their top priority now is figuring out
Speaker 1: how to get the facilities open. Yesterday they sent a memo,
Speaker 1: Roger Dolphin's memo to the teams outlining, um, the protocol
Speaker 1: that they want in place by May fifteen, which is
Speaker 1: not really that far away, right next week, um uh.
Speaker 1: And they have to have that in place before they
Speaker 1: can even get to the point where they can open
Speaker 1: the facilities. Um. And that is going to be dependent
Speaker 1: on you know, local rules. Um. They want to have
Speaker 1: competitive equity. So they initially approached this as saying, you know, one,
Speaker 1: nobody can go back unless all can go back unless
Speaker 1: al cirty two can go back. But and that's still
Speaker 1: their philosophy. But you know, you wonder when they get
Speaker 1: to make fifteenth and then there's a there's an owner's
Speaker 1: meeting which is now going to be in a conference
Speaker 1: call um May nineteenth, where they're going to discuss opening
Speaker 1: the facilities. You know, obviously to stay at home orders.
Speaker 1: As you just said, they're all over the place, you know,
Speaker 1: across the country, right. I mean, some places are almost
Speaker 1: completely open, some are still virtually shut down, some are
Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle. So if they're intent on getting
Speaker 1: the facilities open as soon as possible, you wonder if
Speaker 1: the owners are going to have to get comfortable with
Speaker 1: the idea that, you know, some might be open and
Speaker 1: some might not be open, and how would that go over.
Speaker 1: We're sort of seeing that, you know, the n b
Speaker 1: A is trying to open their facilities this week um
Speaker 1: and it's not necessarily going to be all of them, obviously,
Speaker 1: and and that's sort of interesting that they're doing it
Speaker 1: in you know, for instance, to the Alice Mavericks that
Speaker 1: they're not going to open their facility yet because they
Speaker 1: just don't know if it's safe to do it yet,
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting to see how the NFL
Speaker 1: approaches that, you know, in the next week to ten days,
Speaker 1: you know, assuming that you know, everything is not wide
Speaker 1: open all over the country by them. Judy Batista with
Speaker 1: us NFL Network, longtime reporter for The New York Times
Speaker 1: covering the National Football League. The league schedule comes out
Speaker 1: tonight and it feels like it's, um, just the normal
Speaker 1: routine sixteen games, seventeen weeks schedule and then I think
Speaker 1: they'll figure out any changes down the line. But the idea,
Speaker 1: at least in my opinion, it's just to put it
Speaker 1: out and then go from there. Yes, um, that's exactly right.
Speaker 1: Their their philosophy throughout the offseason, and you know it's
Speaker 1: worked so far is to just stay on schedule and
Speaker 1: do league business as as much as you can normally. Now,
Speaker 1: viously they had to make adjustments with the draft doing
Speaker 1: it virtually and they're having the virtual off season program now,
Speaker 1: but but they've managed to get business done, um, and
Speaker 1: so they're just sort of going. They just keep going
Speaker 1: down the calendar and and doing the next thing. And
Speaker 1: so this is the time when you would release the schedule.
Speaker 1: They you know, they intend to play a regular season
Speaker 1: sixteen games in seventeen weeks and the Super Bowl February
Speaker 1: seventh in Tampa. Um, you know, kicking off September tenth,
Speaker 1: that's the intention. Now it's May. Um, it's four months away.
Speaker 1: They will be prepared to make adjustments if if they
Speaker 1: have to as this, you know, as things go along. Um.
Speaker 1: But their intentions certainly is to play a full schedule.
Speaker 1: Is there any idea of a timeline of when they
Speaker 1: would start paring it down or changing it? There? Is
Speaker 1: it too soon to say? I think it's way too soon?
Speaker 1: You know, in another memo that the commissioner sent to
Speaker 1: the team saying, like nobody has any idea what's going
Speaker 1: to happen over the next four months. I mean, let's
Speaker 1: face it, four months ago, none of us could have
Speaker 1: been mad where we are right now. Right so um,
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows what things are going to look
Speaker 1: like in four months, for better or worse. So uh,
Speaker 1: they've got Look, they of all the leagues, have the
Speaker 1: luxury of sometime right. I mean, the NBA and the
Speaker 1: NHL are trying to get back to have a postseason.
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball is just trying to start the season.
Speaker 1: So I mean the NFL, you know, the calendar is
Speaker 1: working in their favor a little bit. They at least
Speaker 1: have some time to see how things play out and
Speaker 1: to see how the other leagues do it. I was told,
Speaker 1: you know, to keep an eye on Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: because if they can get their season started, you know,
Speaker 1: now the reports are it looks like maybe they would
Speaker 1: try to start the season July one, go back to
Speaker 1: sort of a second spring training a few weeks before
Speaker 1: that in June. UM and if if they can do that,
Speaker 1: if they can play games safely, even if there are
Speaker 1: no fans in the stands like that would be a
Speaker 1: really good sign, you know for football season. Judy Batista
Speaker 1: with us at Judy Bautista on Twitter and a fantastic
Speaker 1: reporter NFL Network and NFL dot Com. You know, the
Speaker 1: fans in the stands thing. You just mentioned that, even
Speaker 1: if there are games with no fans in the stands.
Speaker 1: Certainly for a franchise like the Jacksonville Jaguars, that is
Speaker 1: a huge piece of the local revenue puzzle every year, um,
Speaker 1: and everybody gets a slice of the TV revenue. I
Speaker 1: get that, but hey, at some point there's gotta be
Speaker 1: revenue coming in somehow, how do teams and teams of
Speaker 1: this level in the NFL I survived that well. I
Speaker 1: don't think there's any dancing around the fact that teams
Speaker 1: are going to take a hit this year. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just you know, when you have to hope it's
Speaker 1: just a one year thing. It's in operation, um and
Speaker 1: it never happens again. But I don't I don't think
Speaker 1: there's any question that you know, teams are probably going
Speaker 1: to suffer to some degree on the ticket sale thing. Um,
Speaker 1: But everybody, everybody, everybody crossed the don't forget and I mean,
Speaker 1: as you well known, like most of the revenue in
Speaker 1: the NFL is generated by the television contracts, which is
Speaker 1: why playing you know, a regular season a full reason
Speaker 1: it's so important to them because that's where the bulk
Speaker 1: of the money comes from. Um. You know. Look the
Speaker 1: thing about fans is I mean, this is some This
Speaker 1: is I think where owners are going to have to
Speaker 1: grapple with the idea of are they comfortable having different
Speaker 1: situations for different teams across the country, because you could
Speaker 1: certainly see scenarios where you know, some communities would be
Speaker 1: okay with having large gatherings of fans, and some communities
Speaker 1: in other parts of the country won't want any fans
Speaker 1: at all. Like you could certainly imagine that that happens,
Speaker 1: and you know, well, what will they do then? I
Speaker 1: think they will probably you know, play games without fans
Speaker 1: if that's what they have to do. Certainly they would
Speaker 1: prefer to have fans there. But um, you know, I
Speaker 1: I that I think is going to be uh something
Speaker 1: that you know, teams might have to get used to.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a weird year for home field
Speaker 1: of Parishi. I think, a very strange year because even
Speaker 1: if fans, even if we get to a point in
Speaker 1: the country where gatherings of fans are okay and everybody
Speaker 1: is comfortable. Um, first of all, I think I have
Speaker 1: to wonder our fans going to be comfortable. I think
Speaker 1: at the very least, the league and teams are probably
Speaker 1: going to encourage fans who you know, have compromised immune systems,
Speaker 1: who are in high risk groups, um, probably to not
Speaker 1: attend games in person this year. I think we're probably
Speaker 1: going to hear that from the league. Um. But but also,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's a it's a real you know,
Speaker 1: home field advantage of the real thing. You know, when
Speaker 1: you talk to players, it's a real thing, and so
Speaker 1: you know you may lose that this year. Judye Batista
Speaker 1: with us last couple of minutes where they here. Judy,
Speaker 1: I appreciate your time today. Thank you for coming on
Speaker 1: with us. Looking back to the NFL Draft, and this
Speaker 1: is certainly it's the most unique draft I've been around.
Speaker 1: I've only been around it nine years. I don't think
Speaker 1: anybody's seen anything like we saw on television the other week.
Speaker 1: You had a little inside access to the top. Right,
Speaker 1: how did how did they perceive the draft? How did
Speaker 1: how did it go from the upper management the NFL perspective,
Speaker 1: and what can they take away from this draft that
Speaker 1: maybe they use in future drafts down the line. I
Speaker 1: think they were delighted with it. I mean I think
Speaker 1: first of all, probably from their point of view, it
Speaker 1: went off without a technical hitch, and that was the
Speaker 1: most important thing, right. Teams did not have any problems
Speaker 1: getting their draft picks in and there were no delays,
Speaker 1: and they were able to make trades, and you know,
Speaker 1: so from the business point of view, that was the
Speaker 1: most important part of it. And that went off. Another
Speaker 1: hitch and then the whole you know, the way it was.
Speaker 1: It was so personal and intimate, and we saw coaches
Speaker 1: in their offices and you know, GM with their dogs
Speaker 1: in their office, and you know, the kids were around,
Speaker 1: and it was the sort of great scene, this great
Speaker 1: sort of behind the curtain look that we rarely get
Speaker 1: um and and people really seem to be attracted to it.
Speaker 1: And of course the ratings were off the chart, right
Speaker 1: because people are desperate to watch sports, and here it was.
Speaker 1: So they loved it, and I think they would love
Speaker 1: to keep some elements of it. Particularly Roger Condone mentioned
Speaker 1: to me when I talked to him after that first night,
Speaker 1: he loved being able to face time with so many
Speaker 1: of the players, right The players were at their homes,
Speaker 1: they weren't in a green room, you know, and he
Speaker 1: facetimes with like all of those guys that night, which
Speaker 1: he doesn't usually get have the time to do that
Speaker 1: when you're on a stage and introducing people and getting
Speaker 1: off the stage. So I think they will try to
Speaker 1: keep that, whereas all sent out those you know, iPhones
Speaker 1: to a whole bunch of the guys who are going
Speaker 1: to be drafted, so that he can interact with them
Speaker 1: or whoever can interact with more of the kids during
Speaker 1: the draft, more of the kids, you know, the college
Speaker 1: players during the draft. Um, I think we're going to
Speaker 1: see that. Unfortunately, you know, coaches and gms are probably
Speaker 1: not going to allow us into their you know, spare
Speaker 1: bedroom to watch the draft ever again, they'll want to
Speaker 1: be back in their war rooms, so we'll lose that
Speaker 1: part of it. But I thought this year was great.
Speaker 1: This was by far my favorite draft. I think two
Speaker 1: more dogs. We want more dogs for dogs, as many
Speaker 1: dogs as Judy. Great stuff. Great to catch up with
Speaker 1: your glad everybody's safe in New York and let's stay
Speaker 1: that way, how about it? Yes? Absolutely? Likewise, thanks great

Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com senior writer, joins us now speaking of
Speaker 1: um after the farm read um, John, how are you good?
Speaker 1: Good for duty? And Jeff, uh, that's the way it works. Sorry,
Speaker 1: sorry about it. Judy wins she's really good and has
Speaker 1: great access. Has been around for covering the league for
Speaker 1: a long time now, and some good insight there from
Speaker 1: Judy about the league's perspective on this whole COVID matter
Speaker 1: and how they're just going about these landmarks, these these
Speaker 1: uh marks in the off season and just hitting them
Speaker 1: as much as they can until they can anymore. And
Speaker 1: that's kind of the few I think for the NFL. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I answering question to that, I'm sure not with as
Speaker 1: much detail as that duty can provide, But you know,
Speaker 1: why not release the schedule? Why not continue along the
Speaker 1: line as if everything is going to be as a schedule,
Speaker 1: and then you can come off of that if you
Speaker 1: need a contingency plan. But at some point, if you're
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have a plan and you're gonna have
Speaker 1: Plan A and Plan B and Plan C, well you're
Speaker 1: gonna have Plan A. I mean, if you're gonna Plan B,
Speaker 1: Plan A first, so you may as well get your
Speaker 1: game plan going and then you can figure out what
Speaker 1: you need to do if that game plan doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I will find out Plan A tonight. John.
Speaker 1: I think last week we mentioned the idea of Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton coming to the Jaguars. Well, he's somewhere else. Now,
Speaker 1: what do the Jaguars do with the quarterback position behind
Speaker 1: Minshew now? Or does it status quo for the moment? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, it feels like status quo and if it's
Speaker 1: not status quot, then it's going to be uh status
Speaker 1: something that doesn't have excite the fans or observers because
Speaker 1: there's really you know, I don't know right now. Uh,
Speaker 1: Matt Moore, somebody out there. They're not gonna trade, They're
Speaker 1: not gonna I can't imagine they're gonna go to cam
Speaker 1: Newton route just because of money, and that whole thing
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be what they're gonna do. So I
Speaker 1: get I get emails about this all the time, upgrade
Speaker 1: from Josh Dobbs, and you know, the question is what
Speaker 1: do you want? At this point, there's really I don't
Speaker 1: know that anything. There may be somebody out there better
Speaker 1: than that, but it's certainly not going to be a
Speaker 1: big name. It's certainly not going to be somebody that,
Speaker 1: uh would be perceived as real competition for Gardner Minshew's
Speaker 1: so uh. I still sort of think that they will
Speaker 1: have somebody wh I can snap in the NFL before uh.
Speaker 1: But the more time goes on, the more you think
Speaker 1: perhaps not. I can hear Jeff Loguman, now I didn't
Speaker 1: ask him this, but he would probably say, well, the
Speaker 1: Jags could have kept Brandon Allen Oshan, they could have
Speaker 1: kept him around that he would take no, no no, no,
Speaker 1: he's taken that before over the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: It's someone well, I haven't heard that one that that
Speaker 1: was the running line a few years ago. It's yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know that would be an upgrade. Jaguars dot
Speaker 1: Com uh senior writers joining us here on the program. John,
Speaker 1: you have a new podcast out and in the first
Speaker 1: version of that you caught up with Dave Caldwell. But
Speaker 1: did you talk a little more than football? What's the
Speaker 1: idea of this podcast? And well, how was the visit
Speaker 1: with Day As we moved forward, I expect it's a
Speaker 1: little bit football one oh one or or behind the
Speaker 1: scenes that as we moved forward with more guests, I
Speaker 1: anticipate a lot of it being off the feel, particularly
Speaker 1: as we start talking to Jaguars players and coaches UM,
Speaker 1: who are talking to the media a lot about their topics. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I would anticipate going really deep on off the field stuff.
Speaker 1: UM at some point with Dave, I would like to
Speaker 1: have him back on and talk more about how his
Speaker 1: career got started, etcetera. UM. When we talked today, it
Speaker 1: was I think four or five days after the draft,
Speaker 1: so most of that minutes we spent with him was
Speaker 1: about asking questions about the draft, about the off season,
Speaker 1: we just kind of thought that with so much interest
Speaker 1: in that right now. Uh, that that was the main
Speaker 1: thrust of that, And I thought he was really good
Speaker 1: on a lot of things, particularly the approach that they're
Speaker 1: taking in the off season and and the whole tank
Speaker 1: for Trevor thing. We may have talked about this last week.
Speaker 1: I asked hibout the whole tank for Trevor's saying and
Speaker 1: you know, you know the idea that because it's out there,
Speaker 1: they read social media, they know what fans are saying,
Speaker 1: and we kind of laugh, it's sort of doubly absurd, right.
Speaker 1: He goes, well, it's a third anyway, but especially with
Speaker 1: the entity shot. Khan does not want decisions being made
Speaker 1: based on some future thing that might happen that there's
Speaker 1: no guarantee, and he wants to win. So I get
Speaker 1: that fans are going to hear that and ignore it
Speaker 1: and continue with well, they must be doing this, they
Speaker 1: must be trying for this. You know, you talk to
Speaker 1: many people's I do jp tank is not what this
Speaker 1: team's doing. They believe they're gonna be better, they believe
Speaker 1: they've made improvements, etcetera, etcetera. Us So I thought he
Speaker 1: was very candid on that. We've got some good response
Speaker 1: on it um. But I certainly, as you said at
Speaker 1: the top, I look forward as we go on with
Speaker 1: this to talk into a lot of people about some
Speaker 1: stuff maybe they haven't heard before. Maybe they're not thinking
Speaker 1: about next week. Guess is Michael Silver from NFL Network.
Speaker 1: The hook on that was that he talked to Caldwell
Speaker 1: during the draft. He was basically inside the war room.
Speaker 1: We got in a little bit of that, but I
Speaker 1: kind of, uh, you know, I talked to him more
Speaker 1: about his career. He's been an NFL guy for twenty
Speaker 1: five years, and he told some fascinating stories about some
Speaker 1: of the stories he's reported on. I think it'll be
Speaker 1: interesting to fans who maybe like to hear how some
Speaker 1: of these stories get broken. Has some of these guys
Speaker 1: are on a national level approached their jobs, And of
Speaker 1: course Michael always talked, also talked about being the king
Speaker 1: of the block on Twitter. Nobody except maybe Pete Prisco
Speaker 1: blocks quite like Silver. So it's fun and for the
Speaker 1: most part, I hope to have fun with people that
Speaker 1: maybe don't show that side all the time, you know,
Speaker 1: And you'll well look forward to that conversation because if
Speaker 1: you followed the forty Niners in the nineties nineties Mike
Speaker 1: Silver was he was right there amongst all that stuff,
Speaker 1: and he has stories for days. I'm sure about that
Speaker 1: whole crew. Yeah, and the feeling and especially with Michael
Speaker 1: as we hung up or hung up whatever you do
Speaker 1: on video conference, hit leaves meeting was I could have
Speaker 1: kept talking to him for three hours. And I think
Speaker 1: hardcore football fans, I think we'll feel the same way
Speaker 1: after listen to Michael talked about some of his experiences,
Speaker 1: and I think that's part of the goal of it,
Speaker 1: is let's have a conversation at least people. Man, I
Speaker 1: wish that was going on longer. Haven't really heard that before,
Speaker 1: So we'll see how it goes. John, the schedules coming
Speaker 1: out tonight is the official I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: heard about this. I want to see a few more
Speaker 1: tweets with the little kids being excited about something and
Speaker 1: have an NFL team tied it into being excited about
Speaker 1: the schedule coming out. That's what I need. I haven't
Speaker 1: gotten enough of those today. It's like Christmas Morning. John, fantastic.
Speaker 1: But I guess the question is I was gonna come
Speaker 1: out at seven thirty tonight officially by the team, we'll
Speaker 1: have a show coming up. Dug Morons schedule to join
Speaker 1: us to a break down the schedule and everything with us,
Speaker 1: and then at eight o'clock the NFL Network show takes over.
Speaker 1: They have a full roster pretty much of of who's
Speaker 1: who of NFL head coaches at eight o'clock this evening.
Speaker 1: But what what do you? I know this is I
Speaker 1: don't really know how to phrase this question with you
Speaker 1: because I know there's a smart alec answer coming. Um
Speaker 1: what what I know? Shocking? What do you look for
Speaker 1: when the schedule is released? Well, after every years of
Speaker 1: doing this, I don't really look for very much in
Speaker 1: terms of it being a key to how the season
Speaker 1: is gonna go. Um, I guess I sort of look for, Okay,
Speaker 1: is the schedule tough out of the gate? Does it
Speaker 1: seem tougher late in the season? Where's the bye week?
Speaker 1: I it's all about me. As a peoples likes to
Speaker 1: say what's good for me, it's good for me, so um,
Speaker 1: I mainly look at the time games are starting to
Speaker 1: see when the by is give, there's any three game
Speaker 1: road trip. I like one o'clock game, So I always
Speaker 1: hope for a lot of those. Uh, stands like primetime
Speaker 1: games that they don't have to work until five in
Speaker 1: the morning after him. So, um, those are the things
Speaker 1: I look for, but mainly as a fan or somebody
Speaker 1: covering the team figure and stuff out. You look for
Speaker 1: when division games are Uh, if there's a bunch of
Speaker 1: as in games early, then you better come out of
Speaker 1: the gate quick. If there's not, then maybe you can
Speaker 1: make up some ground that you lost early. So coaches
Speaker 1: typical look for the bye and they look for difficult
Speaker 1: road trips to maybe go back to back that sort
Speaker 1: of thing. Well, unfortunately, John, you've been a happy guy
Speaker 1: when the schedules come out. The last few years it
Speaker 1: has been a lot of one o'clock games. That's the
Speaker 1: way this friend. There weren't as many. Last four o'clock
Speaker 1: games are just as bad for somebody who's writing about
Speaker 1: it because it gets you into no man's land. I mean,
Speaker 1: nobody cares about that. But uh, one o'clock game. Give
Speaker 1: me sixteen of them always and I'd be happy, except
Speaker 1: for the fact that means they're not very good. So
Speaker 1: that's not what you want. I will say. The last
Speaker 1: Monday night football game for the Jags was those before
Speaker 1: I worked here and then they haven't had a Sunday
Speaker 1: night football game since I've been here either, So and
Speaker 1: that's team performance space, you know, Oh that question. They
Speaker 1: had two and two that my first year back. I
Speaker 1: think they played the Ravens and then the Chargers on

Speaker 1: the big news in the National Football League the schedule released.
Speaker 1: As we said seven thirty, teams can officially announce their
Speaker 1: schedules individually, and then we'll have live coverage of that
Speaker 1: coming up at seven thirty with the schedule Least show
Speaker 1: presented by McGowan's Heating and air Conditioning myself Brian Sexton,
Speaker 1: John Osier, and we'll hear from head coach Doug Moron
Speaker 1: as well and get his thoughts on the jag schedule
Speaker 1: and how it shook out and what to expect and
Speaker 1: what a head coach looks for and a schedule when
Speaker 1: it was released, because let's face it, all of the games,
Speaker 1: and fans may not agree with this, all of the
Speaker 1: games are NFL games. They're hard, They're tough, no matter
Speaker 1: what team you are. It's sixteen NFL games on a
Speaker 1: schedule that doesn't change. That's difficult, no matter the order
Speaker 1: of those games or where they fall, or no matter
Speaker 1: what any given Sunday, all that stuff. So, um, take
Speaker 1: all that for what it is. It's it's a tough
Speaker 1: schedule no matter what. Now there might be circumstances where
Speaker 1: the bye lands, maybe that helps you if it's a
Speaker 1: you know, I think a lot of teams would love
Speaker 1: to have that right close to the middle of the
Speaker 1: season too, you know, get half a season end, get
Speaker 1: guys rested for the stretch run kind of deal. Um,
Speaker 1: that's probably the most I would guess is the the
Speaker 1: scenario that a lot of teams would like the most.
Speaker 1: And the Jaguars fairly recently have had a lot of
Speaker 1: those because a lot of those London games have come
Speaker 1: the middle of the season. They've had the bye week
Speaker 1: right after it. Normally that's happened a few different times.
Speaker 1: No London games this year. That was already announced by
Speaker 1: the National Football League. So the Jags will have all
Speaker 1: eight home games here in Jacksonville. Here. We'll find out
Speaker 1: when and uh, those opponents are already named, but we'll
Speaker 1: find out when they're being played Tonight at seven thirty
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com at Jaguars on Social Media and then
Speaker 1: eight o'clock the NFL Network Show with a huge roster
Speaker 1: of guests tonight to break it down from around the
Speaker 1: National Football League. So plenty of coverage coming up this evening.
Speaker 1: Let's go around the National Football League and hit a
Speaker 1: couple of key topics. The past interference review rule is
Speaker 1: apparently officially dead. The Competition Committee has said nobody has
Speaker 1: brought that rule back up, so it will just die
Speaker 1: in automatic death. There will be nobody to vote on it,
Speaker 1: so it was one and done past interference review. It
Speaker 1: didn't change much anyway. He got the feeling that wasn't
Speaker 1: going to happen no matter the case, even if they
Speaker 1: voted on it or not. But it just kind of
Speaker 1: died by itself but went away after the one year trial.
Speaker 1: Of course, it all started in the playoff game in
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. It was past interference. It felt
Speaker 1: like it was not called. The satsmissed the playoffs or
Speaker 1: missed the next round. They were knocked out of the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and then the rule change was implemented for a year
Speaker 1: to try it out. It's now gone and good riddance
Speaker 1: because it felt like it just prolonged games a little further.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it wasn't like everybody was reviewing every single p
Speaker 1: I play, but UH just didn't feel like the spirit
Speaker 1: of that rule. So it's gone out of here. Earl
Speaker 1: Thomas is in the news and it's not for a
Speaker 1: good reason. Off the field. Apparently, some months ago, his
Speaker 1: wife was arrested in an altercation where she held a
Speaker 1: gun to his head after he was allegedly cheating on her.
Speaker 1: Her and her friends went to confront uh Thomas and
Speaker 1: everybody in the room with a gun in hand and
Speaker 1: apparently a bullet in the chamber. Even though she took
Speaker 1: the clip out and all that. It's a scary situation
Speaker 1: to m Z had it this morning. It's all over
Speaker 1: social media today, UM and Earl thom has been around
Speaker 1: the league for a long time, great football player, but
Speaker 1: um sad news off the field there. Let's see what
Speaker 1: comes up in the next few days around that. That'll
Speaker 1: do it for our show today. The Jaguars Happy Hours
