Jaguars Happy Hour is 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:17.959 brought to you by dream Finders Homes and now a 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:21.920 guy who witnessed a truckload of coughs overturn on the highway. 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:24.720 On the way in this morning. Luckily there is no 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:30.880 congestion for over eight hours. JP Chacker, welcome in. It 0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:35.639 is Jaguars Happy Hour, presented by dream Finders Homes, official 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:39.800 homebuilder of the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's our final show of 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:44.800 the off season program. Vacation begins in about an hour 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.720 from right now. We'll be back in late July. JP 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.000 Shadick Jeff Flogaman on ten to next lam Jaguars dot Com, 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.000 Jaguars YouTube. Good afternoon, Jeff. 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:55.920 How's your congestion? 0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:01.400 Clear as a bell? Apparently about the last show because 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:03.480 it means that there's gonna be a little bit of 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:04.399 a break for us. 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:07.440 But you know this is the. 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:10.039 Time of a good break. Well, there's nothing wrong with 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.600 a great break, but this is the time of year 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:16.560 too that the players really need to take a break 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:21.760 from a mental standpoint, not from a physical standpoint. The 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:25.840 training still has to go on, but you've got to 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:29.640 be able to step away for a while to kind 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.440 of to get ready to focus in and lock in 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.240 for a season, because I mean that's it's incredibly demanding. 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.600 A lot of people kind of don't understand the mental grind. 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.760 I mean people think that playing football is easy. It's 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.360 just you're being an athlete. Well, try dealing with about 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.920 fifteen different injuries throughout the course of about six months 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.000 and trying to perform at your best level. I mean 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.840 it's hard. It's hard, and it takes a lot of 0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:00.880 mental concentration and mental strength to be able to do that. 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:05.000 And there's only one way that you can prepare yourself, 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.800 and that's to get the mind free and clear and 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.639 refreshed once you roll back up in here and then 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.919 from the physical part of that coming up. You can't 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.720 just be sitting on the couch eating cheetos the whole time. 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:21.400 But there are days that are that's okay, it's called 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:26.359 cheat daye Yes, I don't want to say cheetos. But 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.919 but I think also part of part of this time 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.880 of getting away is that you have days that you 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:38.680 break the discipline to treat yourself to something nice. I mean, 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.360 it's a reward you know, and and I had I 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.080 had one day a week that I always used to 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.320 do though really when I when I played during when 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.920 I was training in the off season, and that I 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.919 would always pick one day to have something. 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.480 That wasn't great for you, you know. 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.480 And I probably had more than just one a week, 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.840 but I tried to keep it to one a week, 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.919 and and it was good because I mean it just again, 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:07.000 it kind of allowed you to just be human, you know, 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:08.200 instead of this. 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.160 Going back to the Rocky movie, right when Drago. 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:19.320 This machine preparing and no pizza, no burgers, no ice cream. 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:20.919 Wait a minute, Wait a minute. You got to have 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.400 a little bit of fun. And that's why Rocky was 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.200 able to beat him by the way he had a 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.280 little bit of well, he trained in Siberia. It was 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.360 the tough way. He went to the scenic rout to 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:31.760 do it. Yes, you got to be able to you 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.880 know what I'm saying. You got to have a little 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.920 bit of mental fun through the whole process and physical fun. 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.160 We'll get to the off season coming up here in 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.200 just a little bit. But the final mandatory mini camp 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.320 practice was today. It was reduced by the time. It 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.200 was a great crowd out here. By the way, on Wednesday, 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.400 fans were invited to come out. Doesn't happen. I don't 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.240 ever remember it happened for a mandatory mini Can. 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:55.840 We get a number on that? 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:59.440 By the way, I think capacity I think is right 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.800 at too, But it felt like there were a lot 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:02.240 more people. 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.240 There's a lot of people standing around too now. 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.640 Which was cool to see. Which if you made it 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.119 out here, thanks for coming. It was a great day 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.520 of practice. Today was shortened a little bit, but the 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:16.400 highlight today logs. You always say you look for Travis 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.760 Hunter first thing I look at. You saw him on 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.320 both sides of the football today in a single practice 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.680 for the first time. Yeah, And I don't know if 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.679 this was the only time that it's actually at least 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.400 Liam Cohen said on the McAfee show today that it 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:33.920 is the first time he's done both in one practice. 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:34.840 And it was the first time for sure that we 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:35.960 had seen. I wasn't for sure. 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.040 So it's good to hear that because you and I 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.640 were standing there and we were who are we We're 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.719 talking to Joe cow We're talking to Joe Cower and 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.680 we're all kind of shooting the breeze, and then all 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.040 of a sudden, we look out there and we're like, uh, 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.040 wait a minute, you pointed it out right, He said, hey, 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.040 By the way, I hate to interrupt the conversation, but 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.600 Travis Hunters now wearing a white jersey, because he started 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:58.560 the practice. 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.920 Out wearing a teal jersey, which is offensive color. 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.280 He was running routes and doing everything on offense and 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.440 then he flipped it over to the white jersey today 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.240 and so yeah, that's cool. 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:08.680 It was. 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.279 It was fun to watch. There was a lot of reps, 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:15.360 more reps today for the twos and threes today than 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.479 I think the ones. Yesterday was a day of a 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.080 lot of reps for the one. But it was fun 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:27.919 watching twelve on offense and on defense. And you know, 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:29.680 there's a lot of work to be done with his 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.280 football team. Travis has got a lot of work to do, 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.480 and it's not anywhere near a finished project, and nor 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.760 should it look like a finished project at this point. 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:41.039 There's still time and uh, they're going to have to 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.200 have a really good training camp. When you've got a 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:48.200 new system, new coaches, new foundation, everything needs to come 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.560 together in time, and I can't wait to see it 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.240 come together. Another thing I liked to see today was 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.520 Brian Thomas Junior back on the practice field after a 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.920 little bit of a scare on Winds. Went down on 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.000 his shoulder, walked back on the field yesterday, didn't get 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.279 back into the work, but then it was back out 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.719 there and apparently working full today. That's good. When he 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:13.160 went down, there was kind of this collective gasp. I 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:16.360 guess you could say it practice. And at first when 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.440 I saw him down, I was like, oh my gosh, 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.400 is that a knee, you know, because that's your first concern. 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:25.440 Is that something you know, crazy happens, non contact or contact, 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.720 it related, doesn't matter. And he got up and then 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:30.440 you could tell that he was walking and had his 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.400 right arm kind of held tight to his right side, 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:37.080 and you're like, okay, it looks like maybe an arm 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.560 or shoulder or something. He comes out, he went inside 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:40.960 for a bit, came out and he's kind of moving 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.000 around a little bit. So very encouraging that he was 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.680 out there practice today, you know. And if there's a 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.120 list of guys as far as don't get hurt on 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:56.000 the Jaguars roster, Trevor number one, yeah, quarterback, right, I mean, 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.560 see what happens when that's happened for the most important 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.400 position that there is on a foot ball team. Travis 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.279 Hunter number two, just because I think Travis represents hope, 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:08.440 represents hope, and change. Brian Thomas because he's a phenomenal 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.680 football player. And then you go down to like Josh 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.520 and Trayvon. I think is as the next two guys, 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.000 just thinking for the perspective of a guy that you 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.800 didn't list right there, I know, Wait a minute, I'm 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.120 not in the I'm not on his list. I'm not guys, 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:27.240 a kid be injured, wait a minute. You know, I'm kidding. 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.960 Everybody else can get her, and I'm just kidding right 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.440 right now. And then the other positive of the mini 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:37.120 camp is complete and there were no injuries to speak 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:42.520 of of significance or really anything that I saw myself, 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.240 I mean, and that's you know, the goal always of 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:49.840 the off season is to get better number one and 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:54.240 probably one B is to stay healthy. Get any into 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.360 training camp as healthy as you possibly can. 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.040 So, you know, so I think. 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.920 Some objectives will reach and the work again, there's a 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.520 lot of work done, but there's still plenty of work 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.360 to do with this football team. We'll get to the 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.200 Jags defense coming up in just a little bit, and 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.560 what you saw this offseason from that group, new scheme, 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.520 a lot of new faces in the back end of 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:17.720 that defense. But we continue on tintin xl Amjaguars dot 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.400 Com and Jaguars YouTube and Jaguars Happy Hour with the 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.560 offense and you know, a lot of focus. You mentioned 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.440 the quarterback there, he spoke today. We'll hear from him 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.760 coming up in just a little bit. But it's all 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:34.040 about how he handles the offense, how he executes, how 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.760 healthy he is. He was wearing a black sleeve on 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.120 his throwing arm today he said, just some general swords 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.440 and yesterday, Yeah, nothing to really be worried about. But 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:49.320 this is obviously a huge season for him coming up. 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:51.880 He's got the contract and everything moving ahead, but a 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.440 new offense, new coaching staff. He's got to start taking 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.560 steps forward and you know, the next month or so 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.720 to get ready for training camp or for him too well, and. 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.760 I think in a big way he needs to take 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:04.480 a step up. 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.160 I mean, this is at the point of a quarterback's 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:12.360 career where you expect to see big gains in his game. 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.800 The concerning thing to me is that day two of 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:21.000 Mini camp was not very good yesterday. Yeah, I felt 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.000 like the defense had a better day on which I'm 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:27.000 okay with the defense having good moments, but I thought 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:31.080 Trevor didn't have a good day. And even Liam Collins 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:32.400 said he had a lot of balls on the ground. 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.280 I mean, like, you can't have that in a non 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:38.440 contact practice. It shouldn't happen well. And look, there's a 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:42.080 lot that goes into the performance of the quarterback. The 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.720 performance around him also has to be good to allow 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.480 him to be good. But his feet have got to 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:54.120 get better in certain situations. There was one throw in 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:57.000 particular in a red zone drill where I mean he 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.040 didn't even adjust his feet to make a throw and 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.040 the ball sailed on him. I mean, you got to 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.200 step into the throws and adjust your feet. 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:04.080 And he knows that. 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:08.320 And that's a huge factor with Liam Cohne's offense, and 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:12.120 he talked extensively about it ways back in the off 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:15.240 season and he realizes it and he's got it to 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.080 continue to work at it and continue to improve. 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:19.960 You know, there are. 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.520 Certain quarterbacks that can throw at any which way you want, 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:24.079 like Patrick Mahomes. 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.640 I mean, his feet aren't perfect all the time. 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.120 But he's got that innate ability just to throw it 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:34.360 from different positions in different angles. That's not Trevor. Trevor 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.840 I think is a quarterback that Look, he's got to 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.960 be disciplined with his feet to get the best result, 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.680 you know, And that's just how it is, and he's 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.720 got to continue to work at it and he will. 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:50.319 He's got a great work ethic. And also his receivers 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.720 need to know where they are need to be as well. 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:55.080 So there's some moments. 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.640 There was a little confusion as well yesterday going back 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:01.480 to yesterday to where it looked like they weren't clean 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.640 on assignment knowledge, which is you know that happens. 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.480 It's a it's a lot of new players on that 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:07.520 side of the ball as well. 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.800 You know, we've we've talked about all these receivers and 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:16.240 you know, the running back room and everything. By the way, 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.120 just let me jump in right there when you mentioned 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:23.160 the running back room, that may be one of the 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:29.160 most interesting position groups to watch going into training camp. 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:33.600 And then also when we get down to the first 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:37.160 game and what roles are going to be earned and 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:42.560 will it impact the roster, you know, could there be 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:46.000 any changes there because you've got a talented room. Yes 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:49.640 you do. And the reality is is that that room, 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:55.400 once you get past a couple spots, special teams contributions has. 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.400 To be a factor. Well, you look at what they 0:11:58.400 --> 0:11:58.760 have now. 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:02.160 I mean, you've got two rookies that were drafted, got 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:05.560 Tank Bigsby, Etn. I mean, you got four guys right 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:09.000 there that are really good football players as far as 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:13.199 running backs go. But is there a special team's capability there? 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.720 You know, some you might think yay, some you might 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.240 think nay. So I think that's going to be a 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.360 really And I say that because I think it's a 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.560 very talented room, and I think it's going to be 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.280 very interesting to watch how the roles are earned out 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.760 of that room. Etn's getting about six and a half 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:35.760 this year million in his final year of his rookie contract, 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.240 the fifth year option season. Of course, Tank Bigsby in 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:42.120 year number three out of Auburn. But I think the 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.920 thing that really stands out about the new guys is 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:50.360 the speed a Schultoton especially has that I mean explosive, 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.599 take it to the house speed from anywhere. If he 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.160 can hang on to the faseball. Powerful and he's strong 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:59.960 and put the one area that he's got to work 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:04.920 gone ball security. Ball security. I mean, if there was 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:08.280 really the only knock in his game coming out of 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:13.680 Virginia Tech was ball security. I think if there were 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.319 no issues with ball security, then he might have been 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:20.560 talked about with the elite running backs that went in 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:24.400 the first round and then soon after. So that's something 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.560 that he has to work on. And earlier today, I 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:31.000 was listening to Tom Coughlin on a radio show and 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.120 he was talking about how he worked with Tiki Barber 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.880 and solving some of those ball security issues with Tiki, 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.600 and I think the coaching staff is working very hard 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.360 with him as well, and it's something that he has 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:49.120 to embrace and realize. And so you've got two guys 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.840 that are in that room, Tank Bigsby. I think it 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.120 was about one fumble every thirty carries I think so 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.840 far in his career, not fumbles loss, but fumbles, which 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:02.360 that's what matters anyway. So you've got to make sure 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:07.440 that those that area with those two guys is cleaned up. 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.000 We've got plenty ahead we'll return and get into the 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:15.400 Jaguars defense over this offseason program, especially the last couple 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:20.320 of days, felt like some positives out of that group. Ohough, 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:21.520 real good, okay. 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.000 I thought the defense had an outstanding mini. 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:28.280 Cap I mean really okay, Well we'll dig into that. 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.520 To me was the bright spot. There's a lot to 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.760 discuss here. Then I'm excited to hear this from you, 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.320 all right. That's when we come back on ten XL, 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:41.040 Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube. This is the final 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:52.720 Jaguars Happy Hour of the offseason. Just there, how you 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.120 go about his work. You know, he held me out 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:55.760 a lot. Like I said last time, I came up 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.400 here and talking. So just been able to take Thames 0:14:58.400 --> 0:14:59.680 from him into money game and. 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.400 Part for party game is just I'm I can applaud 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:03.440 to my game and make me better. 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:08.440 It's Travis Hunter after Wednesday's practice, when asked about Brian 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:12.320 Thomas Junior and the impact of the Pro Bowl receiver 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.960 on him so far in this offseason. Welcome Back Jaguars 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:20.320 Football is presented by Fresh from Florida. It's always in season. 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:24.200 It's Jaguars Happy Hour, JP Shadwick, Jeff Logoman. We're at 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:27.240 the Hyundai Studios the Miller Electric Center for the final 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:32.760 time in the offseason. Program vacation begins in forty two minutes. 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:37.480 We're counting down less than forty two to the dead 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:41.360 zones than minutes. You know, it's not really the dead zone. 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.160 I mean, there are still things that could be happening 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:46.680 from a league standpoint, but I was pretty dead though, 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:48.800 come on, compared to the other eleven months of the year, 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.320 you know, I mean, look at yeah, it's pretty dead. 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.560 But there's still some things that are gonna be interesting 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:55.880 to watch. I mean from a league standpoint. I mean, 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:59.920 what's gonna happen with Jaylem Ramsey for one? You know? 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.840 Of uh, are you really that intrigued by that? I 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:05.480 am intrigued by that. I think it's going to be 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:07.560 very interesting because I don't I don't know if there's 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:09.600 going to be anybody out there looking Is he going 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.640 to play safety for a guy that's gonna cost you 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:16.320 that much money and they're talking about trading them to trade, 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.320 you got to have somebody that's on the other side 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:23.280 that wants to take them, you know. So anyway, I 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.440 think it's just very interesting, and there's there's some other 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.400 storylines that are going to be kind of an interesting watch. 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.400 I mean, what's going on in Cincinnati with Shamar Stewart 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:35.560 the rookie event, and Cincinnati is trying to shove a 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:38.600 clause of the new contract style that nobody in the 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.280 league uses down the throat of this rookie first round pick. 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.960 It just goes to show you that the Bengals once again, Yeah, 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.280 what's the clause, by the way, some type of clause 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.800 that you can take away future guarantees based on some 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:53.360 behavior in one year, which has never been instituted in 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:56.520 the National Football League. Does he have a history or something? No, 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.200 I mean, that's that's weird. I don't I don't get it. 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.280 As far as I know, he doesn't have any history. Okay, 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.840 But here's the thing. If you had a problem with 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.000 the history, okay, don't try to give him a different contract. 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.320 Don't pick them. There's plenty of other players to pick. Yeah, 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:14.919 don't pick the guy you know and anyways, to me, 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:15.840 that's interesting. 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.480 But again that's typical typical Cincinnati. 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:22.360 That's rare now because since the last CBA and everything, 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:25.600 a couple of cbas go. Now when everything was slotted, 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.080 there's no holdouts anymore. Like rookies don't have to hold 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:29.720 out for anything, don't have to do with money. 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.359 Nowadays, it's it's just language. 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.320 And it's rarely goes this deep either. No, but I 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.560 don't think Travis Hunter signed. He has not yet. And 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.760 there some guys in Schmart stud being one of them, said, look, 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.040 if I don't have a contract, I'm not going to practice. 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:47.119 Which I don't blame any rookie for doing that. I 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:50.080 mean that's you know, that's kind of part of their 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:55.760 abilities or power. They don't have to practice in a 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.359 mini camp if they don't have a contract. There are 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.760 some agents that actually advise their clients not to practice 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:05.040 because what happens is something that if a player gets hurt. 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:09.159 Now again that kind of goes back to the organization's history. 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.040 So like if you're with the Bengals, I would be 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:15.080 as a rookie less likely to practice without a contract 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.439 because they may end up trying to give me a 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:21.800 lesser contract if I did sustain an injury. Now, the 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:25.760 Jaguars have no history of doing that type of behavior, 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:28.800 So I would be willing to practice with the Jaguars 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:32.040 as a rookie. Remember they when Dante Faller got hurt, 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.680 If Valor got hurt and rookie Minnie camp had not 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:39.120 sign anything yet and gave him exactly So I think 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:41.960 history has a lot to do with that. But yeah, 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:47.800 it's to me, that's interesting stuff. Jaguars defense, lots of 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:49.520 new Anthony Campanelli. 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:52.199 The Campanelli or is a Campanile. 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:57.879 Yes, I mean that's actually a question that he was asked. 0:18:58.200 --> 0:18:58.880 He said both. 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:00.440 He said, I'm good with the either way. 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:06.679 But it's been it's been fun watching him because I 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:11.600 can tell that he brings an energy and a bit 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:15.679 of a swagger to this Jaguars defense. You know, and 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:18.280 if you go back and if you look at Green 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:23.520 Bay's defense from last year, my analysis of them was that, look, 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:28.080 that's one of the most disciplined defenses that I've watched 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:32.040 all year. I remember preparing for the Jaguars Packers game. 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:33.639 I was like, look, they're not going to give you 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:37.359 any openings. You've better be on you better be on it. 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.359 And I think that and I hope that that's a 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.359 trade that's going to carry over with this team because 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:45.240 so far in the offseason you can tell that that 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.040 is a trade. They're where they want to be, where 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:51.520 they need to be, whereas last year we know that 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:54.200 that was I think the poorst coaching job in Jaguars 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:58.000 history on the defensive side of the ball. And there 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:03.960 were more mental breakdowns last year, I think, the most 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:07.960 in the league, probably by far the worst performance I thought, 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:11.240 in Jaguars history. So it's I think it's going to 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:12.920 be easier to get better obviously on that side of 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.159 the ball. But I like the intensity that he brings. 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:20.399 I like the assignment, cleanliness, responsibility, knowledge, all of that 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:24.520 is cleaned up and is being cleaned up. How many 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:27.840 contested balls have you seen in that three day mini 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:32.919 camp by defenders over the ball, which means they're where 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:35.800 they need to be, And to me that that has 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:39.080 been impressive. So look, and I know it's early, you know, 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:41.760 they haven't even played a game yet, but I like 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:44.320 what I'm seeing out of out of him as a 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:46.840 coordinator and what I'm seeing out of his defense, and 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:50.520 the messaging trickles down to the players, of course, and 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:54.280 you can hear some of that messaging that's likely being 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:57.399 presented in defensive meetings during interviews. One of those is 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:01.560 Jarry and Jones this week when you asked about Campany's 0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:06.479 defense and approach, and he said, quote, whooping someone's ass 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.760 is the main key end quote. It kind of tells 0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:11.760 you everything you need to know. You can tell that 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:15.800 that that comes from the boss man, because he's got 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:17.760 that attitude, you know. And I was telling you this 0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:20.280 a little bit ago, and you know, I'll share it 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:21.600 with everybody on the air. 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:25.000 You know, I people watch in practice. 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:27.119 I mean I watch players, but then I also watch 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.800
