Speaker 1: Huts pretty accurate. Had one last night back Welcome in
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour j P. Shadrick from the home studio.
Speaker 1: Today is June, and this is our final show before
Speaker 1: a three week hiatus. The dead zone is here, so
Speaker 1: we will go away for a while while we can,
Speaker 1: because once we pick back up and mid July, it
Speaker 1: is going to be NonStop, hopefully until training camp and
Speaker 1: preseason games and the regular season go off without a hitch.
Speaker 1: But over the news the last couple of days, that's
Speaker 1: certainly up in the air now as well. But we'll
Speaker 1: get you through this last program today. Here's what's coming
Speaker 1: up on the show. Analyst Jeff Lockman will join us.
Speaker 1: We'll talk a little ball and see what the Jags
Speaker 1: are up to this week. Few guys have been out
Speaker 1: practicing on their own, it looked like on social media.
Speaker 1: NFL Network reporter Steve White discusses the social justice initiatives
Speaker 1: from the Jaguars that have happened over the last two
Speaker 1: or three weeks and the league as a whole. He's
Speaker 1: been very active on social media and in his reporting
Speaker 1: on NFL Network about what the league has done the
Speaker 1: reaction to it, and he was the one actually that
Speaker 1: broke the Colin Kaepernick story of why his kneeling began
Speaker 1: back in the first place, back in Goshen. So we'll
Speaker 1: get his perspective on that reaction then as opposed to now.
Speaker 1: Senior writer John Ozier joins us. Also, we'll break down
Speaker 1: his podcast earlier in the week. He spoke with Terry Robiski,
Speaker 1: the running backs coach, and Marcus Pollard, director of player
Speaker 1: development for the Jackson We'll get his thoughts on that
Speaker 1: and four three verses three four that was the talk
Speaker 1: late last week from defensive coordinator Todd Wash will break
Speaker 1: that down again. We'll go around the National Football League
Speaker 1: as well. So quite a show today, our last one
Speaker 1: for a while. This is we are nearing the three
Speaker 1: month mark. In fact, tomorrow would be the three month
Speaker 1: anniversary of our last show in the building at t
Speaker 1: I A. A. Bank Field, that was on March nineteen.
Speaker 1: Imagine that, Jeff Loghman on the phone with us now
Speaker 1: Jaguars analysts logs. That's a crazy three month period about that.
Speaker 1: Ah yeah, I mean it, It certainly is crazy. And
Speaker 1: uh you would think in three months you might have
Speaker 1: a little bit more answers, But I think you still
Speaker 1: have a lot more questions, maybe than even than you
Speaker 1: had three months ago. Uh. I think it puts a
Speaker 1: lot of things up in here. But before we get
Speaker 1: to that, was I the only one that was listening
Speaker 1: at the beginning, going, where do you get a hand
Speaker 1: rolled cuban sandwich? Sandwich? You were thinking, Okay, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of hungry. And if we said cuban, I said,
Speaker 1: oh man, I'd love to have me a cuban right now.
Speaker 1: And I started thinking, I said, wait a minute, I
Speaker 1: think he meant a cigar. That's exactly that's true, that
Speaker 1: maybe a st You like them both, don't I will
Speaker 1: turn in either one of them down most days. But
Speaker 1: to get to get back to the conversation about ball
Speaker 1: or you know, the questions of what's happened in the
Speaker 1: last three months, I mean, do you do you see
Speaker 1: in your mind this NFL happening normally when we get
Speaker 1: around to training camp July August, September. But normally I'm
Speaker 1: sure you mean, you know, rookies show up a week early,
Speaker 1: then the quarterbacks are in, and then the rest of
Speaker 1: the team, the veterans show up at a certain date
Speaker 1: and they do two weeks. I mean anything anything being normal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the definition of normal has changed, and we
Speaker 1: don't know what that is yet. Yeah. I think we're
Speaker 1: we're going to see a lot of different things. And
Speaker 1: here's the here's the thing. What happens if you're in
Speaker 1: season and then on Saturday or Sunday morning for that matter,
Speaker 1: you wake up and you're starting quarterbacks not feeling good?
Speaker 1: Okay and uh and and he just spent all week
Speaker 1: in the same room with the backup quarterbacks and with
Speaker 1: the quarterback coach, and you you test him. He's positive,
Speaker 1: whether it be Saturday or Sunday. Um, what are you?
Speaker 1: What are you doing? I mean, do you do you have?
Speaker 1: Can you? Can you just go ahead and expect to
Speaker 1: play your backups who've been in the same room, have
Speaker 1: been around. You're starting quarterback who tested positive. I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you handle that challenge? Man? It's
Speaker 1: it's so it's not even that's not even the right
Speaker 1: word for what this is. Yeah, because even they are
Speaker 1: I mean, what happens, you know, to the game if
Speaker 1: one team does not have quarterbacks available in that scenario?
Speaker 1: Position groups? I mean we're talking, I mean, we're we're
Speaker 1: seeing where it's you know, you guys, are I know
Speaker 1: that what six players or whatever? That the University of Houston,
Speaker 1: I think it was Texas Today. Texas today had a few,
Speaker 1: and then the Houston Texans in the Dallas Cowboys had
Speaker 1: some recently as well. All right, but I think there
Speaker 1: was another university in Texas that had an issue while ago.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm you're sit there and you think
Speaker 1: about that. Okay, Well, what if you get a defensive
Speaker 1: lineman who's positive and he's asymptomatic, and he spends all
Speaker 1: week with his guys. You know, he's doing one on
Speaker 1: one drills. And look, when you do one on one drills,
Speaker 1: I mean you're making contact with people. You know, you're
Speaker 1: you're breathing on people. Uh, you're shedding things. I mean
Speaker 1: that's what the definition what they're talking about how the
Speaker 1: virus passes is through shedding. So what do you do.
Speaker 1: I mean, if if one guy tests positive, he's been asymptomatic,
Speaker 1: he's been in the same room as everybody else, and
Speaker 1: and you could have an entire room that's out, well,
Speaker 1: that entire room also has been around the other entire
Speaker 1: rooms in the huddles and on the field and in
Speaker 1: the locker room. I mean, how how do you handle this?
Speaker 1: You know? I mean, it's so many questions, so many
Speaker 1: And today, I believe, or yesterday, I think it was today.
Speaker 1: Dr Fauci, the infectious disease expert that is in the
Speaker 1: White House and does all that stuff, said that football
Speaker 1: probably won't be able to be played unless it's a
Speaker 1: bubble situation like the NBA is talking about and Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball, where basically you quarantine the entire team at
Speaker 1: a place for the season. Well, that's not realistic. You
Speaker 1: can't do that with you know, fifty three active guys,
Speaker 1: ten practice squad guys, coaching staff, everybody. What are you
Speaker 1: gonna do? Quarantine there, quarantine them and a bubble away
Speaker 1: from their family, and then their family is going to
Speaker 1: be quarantine and a bubble away from anybody else. Right.
Speaker 1: That's tough, I mean, because you can't you can't expect
Speaker 1: a player to be away from his family. But but
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the thing, is that even though
Speaker 1: we were all hopeful that, you know, once we get
Speaker 1: the summer, that the frequency of transmission would down, and
Speaker 1: obviously we're seeing some high set and some of the
Speaker 1: testing procedures that related to an increase in positive tests
Speaker 1: and and the virus spreading or is that related to
Speaker 1: just the simple fact that there's a lot more testing
Speaker 1: going on right now too. You don't know the answer
Speaker 1: to that. And politics seems to get involved in everything,
Speaker 1: and so sometimes it's hard to decipher what the truth
Speaker 1: is going to be. But the boy, it's it's just
Speaker 1: it's just hard sometimes to envisions. We head to this
Speaker 1: little bit of a break in the dead zone, you know,
Speaker 1: when we come back, are we going to be out
Speaker 1: of the dead zone or are we going to be
Speaker 1: continuing to exist in the dead zone with a lot
Speaker 1: of uncertainty? You know? So, uh, I don't have the
Speaker 1: answer to that. And I'm sure that there's a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of possibilities that are being discussed at
Speaker 1: the league level, at team levels, and and I have
Speaker 1: a feeling that there's a lot of I don't want
Speaker 1: to say indecision, but there's a lot of decisions that
Speaker 1: haven't been made because they just simply don't know the
Speaker 1: answer right now. Jeff Lockman with US Jaguars analyst. And
Speaker 1: even if we do get to let's say training camp,
Speaker 1: right and the players can practice and they figured it
Speaker 1: out and they're gonna test and all that is fine,
Speaker 1: quote unquote, I don't think we'll be even close to
Speaker 1: their lives to cover it. No, heck no, no, JP.
Speaker 1: We won't be anywhere. We won't be allowed anywhere near it.
Speaker 1: I'll be sitting in this chair right here, interviewing guys
Speaker 1: over zoom or however they set it up. That's how
Speaker 1: that's going. It'll be, you know, if you want to
Speaker 1: watch maybe on some kind of film, thinking that you're
Speaker 1: not going down there to to be on the field
Speaker 1: and be around players and and for them to be
Speaker 1: at risk of being around you. I mean, that's uh,
Speaker 1: the the way that the game is covered from a
Speaker 1: media standpoint. Media is going to have extremely limited access.
Speaker 1: Everything will be done via zoom or team whatever you
Speaker 1: want to call, uh there or whatever avenue is most
Speaker 1: available or readily available to to the masses. And uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you're gonna restrict everything. I mean, when when
Speaker 1: I mentioned just before, you know, when you talk about
Speaker 1: having your team traveling, I mean, who's essential you're talking
Speaker 1: about essential personnelity be able to have a football game.
Speaker 1: But I mean here's the here's the thing. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's assuming you could even have it right, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's and and that right now, that seems to be
Speaker 1: you know, a pretty big assumption, you know, I mean
Speaker 1: being said, I mean, what other what other pro sports
Speaker 1: league is is playing right now? Well, you got soccer.
Speaker 1: So the Premier League in England started yesterday, I believe
Speaker 1: actual games, Bundesliga and Germany has been playing for a
Speaker 1: little bit. Um Nascar, but that's not a contact sport
Speaker 1: at least personal Nascar is about as good as social
Speaker 1: distancing as you can do. Man could have got a car,
Speaker 1: you know, let him, let him umping grind, but bumping
Speaker 1: grind is six ft or more at least. Yeah, that's right. Uh,
Speaker 1: you're swapping paint, you're not swapping spit. So yeah, so
Speaker 1: that's about it. Bugs. And then once NBA gets going,
Speaker 1: that's the bubble thing. If there's been a little bit
Speaker 1: of pushback from the players on that as of late,
Speaker 1: to be in a bubble, JP, I mean, and you know,
Speaker 1: I mean because I will beyond you that now to me,
Speaker 1: you're asking me sure if that means getting a paycheck,
Speaker 1: I'll say, in the bubble, to get the paycheck and
Speaker 1: then move totally understand that I don't have a family.
Speaker 1: I don't have kids. I don't have any of that stuff.
Speaker 1: So and that's that's where the question gets bigger and
Speaker 1: the answer gets more difficult. And and with football you're
Speaker 1: dealing with man much many, many, many more numbers than
Speaker 1: you're talking about with basketball. And I think that's why
Speaker 1: the league right now, as you know, I don't want
Speaker 1: to say they've been quiet. I mean they've been certainly
Speaker 1: responsive to some extent, but I think that they want
Speaker 1: to see how it goes with other leagues that have
Speaker 1: started or that are going to start, to see how
Speaker 1: they can proceed and what might work and what might
Speaker 1: not work. Right, but that's probably the last thing to
Speaker 1: do in the Jaguars umbrella under the ownership group of
Speaker 1: the cons Fulham Football Club and the Championship that the
Speaker 1: second league in England. They start on Saturday, so they've
Speaker 1: had some warm ups to get ready, so that'll be
Speaker 1: really a first hand look with some of the Jaguars
Speaker 1: folks involved in Fulham business as well over in London,
Speaker 1: so we'll get a little better look there as well.
Speaker 1: Jeff Logan, with US Jaguars analyst, joining us here on
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour. Well, the real virtual offseason program is over,
Speaker 1: but on social media this week we saw a glimpse
Speaker 1: into some Jaguars getting out on a local high school
Speaker 1: field here and starting to work a little bit together. Um,
Speaker 1: I believe Gardner Minshew was involved, d J. Chark, handful
Speaker 1: of receivers, that kind of thing. You know, it's the
Speaker 1: first time I think probably they've been able to get
Speaker 1: together on their own. That's a good thing. I don't know,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna get a lot of answers is better
Speaker 1: than not doing it, I guess. Yeah. I mean it's something.
Speaker 1: And do we know that that's the first time they've
Speaker 1: gotten together. No, I mean if yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. If you have gotten together previously
Speaker 1: with a bunch of guys with with having seen some
Speaker 1: of the criticism that other players have gotten for gathering
Speaker 1: with teammates to play catch or throw the football together,
Speaker 1: you know, some guys might have have done it a
Speaker 1: little bit under the shroud of secrecy, you know, just
Speaker 1: to not expose themselves to criticism for not practicing quote
Speaker 1: unquote social distance team. So but I mean it's good.
Speaker 1: I mean as much as you can try to get
Speaker 1: together and throw I mean, look, Gardner Minshew, even though
Speaker 1: Uncle Rico did it, you know, he can't sit out
Speaker 1: in park a van out in the middle of the
Speaker 1: valley and to start throwing the football over the mountain
Speaker 1: and get loose and feel like he's gotten a lot
Speaker 1: of big workout. You know, you got to throw the people.
Speaker 1: You gotta have speed, you got to have you know,
Speaker 1: your guys and time me and so I mean, it's
Speaker 1: good that they're doing that, and well, you hope that
Speaker 1: they can do as much of that as possible between
Speaker 1: now and the startup camp, just to kind of keep
Speaker 1: things rolling along so that when you do get the camp,
Speaker 1: or if there is a camp, and if there everything
Speaker 1: is going smoothly that I don't want to say you
Speaker 1: can hit the ground running, because I think that's a
Speaker 1: far cry from doing what you need to do to
Speaker 1: hit the ground running. But at least you've had something
Speaker 1: that has has kind of kept you loose and coming
Speaker 1: in feeling like, Okay, I'm not just coming in cold.
Speaker 1: Jeff Lockman with US Jack Warres analysts the we've got
Speaker 1: the next three shows off, so we're back July. I
Speaker 1: believe is that Thursday will have this show return and

Speaker 1: Now to hear from Steve White, NFL Network reporter, analyst
Speaker 1: and host. Longtime reporter in the National Football League for
Speaker 1: a number of different publications in Miami. Harold he was
Speaker 1: an nb A writer for the Washington Post covering the
Speaker 1: Wizards and the league there for a little while in
Speaker 1: Atlanta with the Journal Constitution, and he's been with the
Speaker 1: NFL Network for a number of years now. Social justice
Speaker 1: causes for the Jaguars, they were really the first team
Speaker 1: to to take a team approach. They were the first
Speaker 1: team to to march. We'll start there and Jack's owner
Speaker 1: Shot con I wrote the op ed piece that really
Speaker 1: set the tone for the organization and a lot of
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways the National Football League. You'll
Speaker 1: see the full video coming up early next week with Steve,
Speaker 1: but a little piece of the conversation coming up here.
Speaker 1: Steve Whitch of NFL Network starting with Jaguars owner Shot
Speaker 1: Khan and his op ed piece back on June three.
Speaker 1: What was your reaction to that piece when you first
Speaker 1: read him. Yeah, Look, I think it was important because
Speaker 1: as we know, Shan Khan is the only minority uh
Speaker 1: Prince blowner in the NFL, and so for him to
Speaker 1: come on writing op ed talking about some of the
Speaker 1: race is him that he's faced and of course he's
Speaker 1: he's overcome a lot of things financially in business wise,
Speaker 1: but he still deals with it. Um was fantastic, you know,
Speaker 1: and I really thought it was very important for him
Speaker 1: to say he was going to listen to his players,
Speaker 1: because that's something that owners have not necessarily done somehow,
Speaker 1: but others have been more dictatorial and so you're gonna
Speaker 1: do it this way or it's the highway. So the
Speaker 1: fact that that's the tenor he set for the organization,
Speaker 1: I think it's very important because it lets coaches know, okay, good,
Speaker 1: I can give my players maybe some opportunities or freedoms,
Speaker 1: and let's players know that they can seize control of
Speaker 1: the narrative or what is going to happen with the
Speaker 1: players without any type of obstruction. Steeve, do you think
Speaker 1: that will be something that Mr Cohn starts that other
Speaker 1: owners maybe taken and use on their own as well.
Speaker 1: Is that something like you said in the past, some
Speaker 1: are dictatorial, It doesn't really work like that a lot
Speaker 1: of places. Can this be a league wide phenomena. We'll see. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, look, some owners are stepped out and they've
Speaker 1: made statements, but you know, are they gonna put actions
Speaker 1: behind their words? And some owners have been very active.
Speaker 1: David Tepper with the Carolina Panthers sever ties with their
Speaker 1: big security agency because they're their CEO of their head
Speaker 1: was very dismissive of some of the things publicly about
Speaker 1: what people are protesting against. So you know that this
Speaker 1: is a wait and see. But I do think Shan
Speaker 1: Khan and taking the steps that he's taken, has shown
Speaker 1: significant leadership, maybe to the rest of the owners, but
Speaker 1: I think absolutely to his players and people in the
Speaker 1: community who can see that the influence the Jaguars could
Speaker 1: have and kind of being a guiding hand and measures
Speaker 1: to be taken to kind of make some some repairs
Speaker 1: to what's going on right now, certainly in a town
Speaker 1: like this that the Jaguars are the big fish here
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. So whatever happens from this organization makes a
Speaker 1: big impact of the community. We've seen that already with
Speaker 1: the players marches through down town, including the mayor and
Speaker 1: the sheriff. You don't get a lot of work both
Speaker 1: ways in a lot of places, but Jacksonville is a
Speaker 1: place where that has happened so far, it has, you know,
Speaker 1: And what's interesting is, you know some of these things
Speaker 1: have been player legs all Leonard for NET and some
Speaker 1: people you know, take take that the hold of that,
Speaker 1: and some of them organizationally led. I mean, think back
Speaker 1: when you were a little kid. I mean, even if
Speaker 1: you've got a chance to meet an NFL player or
Speaker 1: even see one you know on the sideline close or
Speaker 1: in person and autograph signing whatever. Even if you know
Speaker 1: that person said you like, hey, you can be a star,
Speaker 1: You're gonna think, man, he told me I can be
Speaker 1: a star. And so players understand the influence of the
Speaker 1: voice of the pro athlete or the or the head coach.
Speaker 1: And that's something you know, you're seeing more and more
Speaker 1: players recognized during this situation, this movement, whatever you want
Speaker 1: to call it, that we're in right now. I think
Speaker 1: they're understanding that, yeah, we may not be able to
Speaker 1: change the minds to some people who are older, who
Speaker 1: are ingrained, we can teach these young people or show
Speaker 1: these young people away that we can be better and
Speaker 1: more tolerant and more accepting. And that's what I think
Speaker 1: so many people are forgetting about because maybe the people
Speaker 1: who aren't buying the tickets but would be the next
Speaker 1: generation to buy the tickets, those can be the significant influencers.
Speaker 1: Are those to be influenced in this moment. Steve Weisch
Speaker 1: with us NFL Media, one of the highly respected reporters
Speaker 1: on NFL Network, and it's been around the league for
Speaker 1: a long time. You Steve obviously broke the story back
Speaker 1: in August of of why Colin Kaepernick was first sitting
Speaker 1: and then kneeling during the national anthem, And we bring
Speaker 1: that up because his name is again at the forefront
Speaker 1: of the league's I guess awakening is a good term
Speaker 1: for what has happened over the last few weeks. Why
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on why it was so controversial
Speaker 1: then and why that maybe has changed and his story
Speaker 1: is moving this forward? Great Quie, And you know, I
Speaker 1: don't think Kaepernick necessarily was simply why things have changed
Speaker 1: with the league this time. I think it changed with
Speaker 1: the nation. I mean, you're hearing news agencies and people
Speaker 1: bring up his name, um in this moment, because he
Speaker 1: told us, you know, when he first did not stand
Speaker 1: and then eventually kneel during the playing of the national anthem.
Speaker 1: A lot of people got hung up on the fact
Speaker 1: that he wasn't standing for the national anthem when he
Speaker 1: was saying he was protesting some of the police brutalities
Speaker 1: and judicial injustices that we're seeing come to the forefront
Speaker 1: right now. Of course it was punctuated, um with the
Speaker 1: killing of George Floyd. And I think anybody because we're
Speaker 1: all home from this COVID right we're all watching our
Speaker 1: TVs who can't escape it. Anybody who saw the police
Speaker 1: officer with his knee on George Floyd's neck and George
Speaker 1: Floyd dying and screaming for his his dead mother. Um,
Speaker 1: that wasn't a matter of black or white. That was
Speaker 1: a matter of right and wrong. And so I think
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons for the ground swell. And
Speaker 1: so this is what Kaepernick was talking about. So people
Speaker 1: can harken back. Let's they see he was trying he
Speaker 1: was trying to tell us he wasn't trying to offend
Speaker 1: anybody at that time by not standing for the national anthem.
Speaker 1: He was trying to offend us, to touch the nerve
Speaker 1: that we're accepting too often of black and brown people
Speaker 1: being killed by law enforcement or being or those or
Speaker 1: those law enforcement officers not being held accountable for some
Speaker 1: of their behaviors. So I think that's part of it,
Speaker 1: um and that's why I think you're hearing more and
Speaker 1: more than narrative, especially when it comes to NFL athletes.
Speaker 1: Instead of saying I'm protesting, they're explaining why. And that's
Speaker 1: the first thing I did the first article I wrote
Speaker 1: about this, I explained why he was doing it. But
Speaker 1: of course again that got lost in translation very quickly.
Speaker 1: Steve Whitch with us NFL Network, final thought on Kaepernick here,
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a ground swell now for
Speaker 1: him to be signed at some point by an NFL team.
Speaker 1: I think the commissioner even mentioned his name the other
Speaker 1: in an interview. Do you think a team will sign him?
Speaker 1: And what type of team can handle this situation? It
Speaker 1: was interesting first off there, Rodger Goodell said publicly that hey,
Speaker 1: I've encouraged teams to sign Colin Caeferick privately, he's done
Speaker 1: that for years, like, hey, you know he's a free agent.
Speaker 1: You know you guys can sign him. Um, but it
Speaker 1: hasn't happened, Which is why I think at this point
Speaker 1: I don't expect the team to sign him. I really don't.
Speaker 1: It's they've had three years to do it most of
Speaker 1: these teams. That means they've had three drafts to kind
Speaker 1: of come up with their their quarterback development cycle. Even
Speaker 1: though even the fact that calf has been out of
Speaker 1: not play football in three years, you can look at
Speaker 1: some backup quarterbacks and kind of say, you know, he
Speaker 1: could he could probably at least compete. But you know
Speaker 1: a team, you know, like the Jaguars, I mean, Mike
Speaker 1: Glennon is there, but there there's someone he could come
Speaker 1: in and compete and be the backup. You know, Gardner
Speaker 1: Minshew is who they're rolling with the starter. But then
Speaker 1: you say to yourself, and this is interesting the academy.
Speaker 1: I've had someone you know, bring this to my attention.
Speaker 1: Do you bring him into a locker room where he
Speaker 1: could either be polarizing or more popular than your starter?
Speaker 1: And would you even worry about it because odds are
Speaker 1: there aren't gonna be any media in the locker rooms
Speaker 1: at least for the first few weeks of training camp
Speaker 1: and maybe the regular season to ask players consistently about this,
Speaker 1: which has always been something that has been a distraction
Speaker 1: in that conversation. So I don't think it's gonna happen um,
Speaker 1: but maybe some team will do it. And then you
Speaker 1: have to ask yourself, will Kaepernick be willing to do
Speaker 1: it um? Because he made his view as a patronizing
Speaker 1: gesture instead of this is a sincere attempt, you know,
Speaker 1: to get him a job back in the NFL. But
Speaker 1: he may just say forget it anyway, I want to play.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it a shot. We just don't know.
Speaker 1: Steve Weis with this NFL network, you touched on a
Speaker 1: little bit of this a moment ago, but the next
Speaker 1: steps for players, ownership, organizations, and the league as a
Speaker 1: hole in this movement. You know, this is the the
Speaker 1: dead period of the off season. Players have been away
Speaker 1: all off season anyway, but they're really away now. Does
Speaker 1: this momentum stay until training camp? And then I guess
Speaker 1: the next question is what this training camp look like?
Speaker 1: And I think you just talked about it. They're a
Speaker 1: little bit without media possibly and then without fans maybe
Speaker 1: at some point the league still holding hope. The next
Speaker 1: steps I think are the big question here. How does
Speaker 1: this momentum caring? Yeah, you know that it's interesting. I've
Speaker 1: got a I just an interview with three Vikings players
Speaker 1: because they felt it was important to talk about this.
Speaker 1: It's gonna air on our programming this week because they're
Speaker 1: ground zero right there in Minneapolis where the George Floyd
Speaker 1: interne had happened and and this could was kind of
Speaker 1: a trigger point, and they said it is up to
Speaker 1: them as players, right, they've got to do their jobs.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, but used the platform ex giving the NFL
Speaker 1: Sundays their practices and their their profiles to still talk
Speaker 1: ab out this. Yes, they know the playing games is
Speaker 1: their occupation and that's what they're going to be focused on.
Speaker 1: But that is where being on their Tuesday off days
Speaker 1: or through some private type of pregame projects or whatever,
Speaker 1: a postgame project. They've got to keep that going again,
Speaker 1: we'll see. Um. You know, the football is a tough sport.
Speaker 1: You really got to lock in on. Players have done
Speaker 1: this before. This is nothing new in terms of community service.
Speaker 1: As for how things are gonna look with COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: still still you know out there and you know, not
Speaker 1: really going away. In a lot of places, we still
Speaker 1: don't know. Man, JP, it's there. There's so much unknown.
Speaker 1: Teams are spoken to some folks with teams that they're
Speaker 1: waiting on the lead from the league. The league is
Speaker 1: kind of saying, well, we've got thirty two different markets.
Speaker 1: We've got to see what's going on there. But you know,
Speaker 1: clearly from everything i'm hearing, you know, media training camp
Speaker 1: and there's either gonna be none or it could be
Speaker 1: something where like say media coverage, we're you know, we're
Speaker 1: parked in a tent and the players are here and
Speaker 1: we're not gonna have any even six ft away interaction. UM,
Speaker 1: social distancing and team facilities. You know, how teams are
Speaker 1: gonna work with players. You know, we're we're hearing about testing.
Speaker 1: UM of course training camps are gonna be a team facilities.
Speaker 1: And we get two games. Will there be fans or
Speaker 1: won't there be fans? Because because here's something I think
Speaker 1: about and I'm sure you have to. Let's just say
Speaker 1: the league goes half capacity at stadiums pre game, What
Speaker 1: are those thousand fans likely going to be doing on
Speaker 1: the parking tailgating? So are there gonna be social distancing
Speaker 1: while their tail game? Right? So then so then they
Speaker 1: come into the stadium if you have people every other row,
Speaker 1: but if you've got someone there to your left and right,
Speaker 1: how's that gonna work? So it's it's it's I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's so complex because there's so many different
Speaker 1: things happening in so many different cities. On the risk
Speaker 1: that the NFL wants to put its players and trainers
Speaker 1: and coaches and staffers in and the risk that they
Speaker 1: want to put fans in um because in all honesty,
Speaker 1: who knows if there's gonna be a vaccine or a
Speaker 1: cure for this anytime in the near future. And so
Speaker 1: there's just so many variables, and we've got about five
Speaker 1: or six weeks to figure it out. It's very very
Speaker 1: hard to tell. And I myself, as I'm sure you
Speaker 1: are eager to find out how where this is going
Speaker 1: to go, we certainly are. That's Steve whitech NFL Network
Speaker 1: at whitech eighty nine on Twitter and a really good
Speaker 1: follow there, very active the last few weeks with everything
Speaker 1: going on around the national football again and the country
Speaker 1: early as a whole. A good perspective there from Steve,
Speaker 1: and you know, as the last note there is the
Speaker 1: one we discussed with Logs as well. But we all
Speaker 1: know until we get closer to training camp and and
Speaker 1: see if this thing dies down at all, or if
Speaker 1: there's a vaccine of some sort that comes on the market,
Speaker 1: that's um all up in the air. As of June eighteen,
Speaker 1: we're back. In a moment, we'll hear from John Ozer,

Speaker 1: day away tomorrow the nineteen, the three month anniversary of
Speaker 1: what what What? Was our final show at t I
Speaker 1: A bank Field before the lockdown, of course, all the
Speaker 1: many of the sports shut down the week prior to that.
Speaker 1: On that Thursday and Friday that was players weekend, and
Speaker 1: then um, we were in the office another few days
Speaker 1: after that, and then finally that Thursday night, the March
Speaker 1: nineteenth was our final show. And we haven't been back
Speaker 1: in the office since, at least I haven't. A few
Speaker 1: folks have been the last couple of weeks since they've
Speaker 1: opened up some parts of the organization. Another person who
Speaker 1: has not been in the office since then his senior writer,
Speaker 1: John Osier, who joins us on the phone. Now, John,
Speaker 1: good afternoon. Yeah, I'm kind of picturing Jake my desk.
Speaker 1: Like I used to go down to Miami right after
Speaker 1: Dan marine I retired and they had his locker they're
Speaker 1: just sort of like encased it with glass. And it
Speaker 1: was like it was when he retired. So I picture
Speaker 1: like my in my crappy shirt that he said, sitting there.
Speaker 1: It's kind of sitting there all all wadded up encasing glass. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's um gonna be frozen in time. I think our
Speaker 1: whole office time. Yeah, what was No, it's crazy, it's uh,
Speaker 1: but it's uh, it's the time we live in. It's
Speaker 1: it's an odd, odd time. It sounds like, you know,
Speaker 1: there's probably already dust settled on all of that down
Speaker 1: at the stadium, but it sounds like there's gonna be
Speaker 1: at least double the dust. You know. I don't think
Speaker 1: we'll be in there doing anything for a while. John,
Speaker 1: that didn't seem like it. And uh, I think we
Speaker 1: talked about it last week, J. It just feels like
Speaker 1: and logically, so I was getting questions about it two
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Hey, do you feel like the NFL is
Speaker 1: being overly cautious and all that? It just feels like
Speaker 1: they're not in the lock except with everybody else. Well,
Speaker 1: as we've seen the last couple of weeks, I don't
Speaker 1: think the NFL is being overly cautious. I think they're
Speaker 1: being correctly cautious. They realized that the more people who
Speaker 1: were together, the greatest, uh you know, without extreme caution,
Speaker 1: the greater chance there is for flare up or whatever
Speaker 1: you call it. So I expect them to proceed with
Speaker 1: the absolutely most costume because I don't know how else
Speaker 1: they would proceed. I mean, they realized that people together,
Speaker 1: uh sweating, which players will do, is going to be
Speaker 1: an extreme caution situation. They've got to figure out analy its.
Speaker 1: So I don't anticipate being back around them. I just
Speaker 1: said I saw talking Jags and covering the team. But
Speaker 1: how that's gonna play out, how the season is going
Speaker 1: to play out? Um, you know, I wrote today in
Speaker 1: the Ozone, I think or maybe it's for tomorrow. This
Speaker 1: has been a the weirdest, most obstacle filled off season
Speaker 1: that you could possibly imagine, and I expect the regular
Speaker 1: season to be that. Times ten senior writer John Osier
Speaker 1: with us you mentioned the Ozone. How many consecutive days
Speaker 1: is your streak of ozone posts? Now? You know it's
Speaker 1: it's uh, I don't really I don't really count it
Speaker 1: in terms of days because you gotta go sort of undoable.
Speaker 1: I started the best in my recollection, and I said
Speaker 1: times to get the original date messed up and I
Speaker 1: to go back and check it either August eleventh or
Speaker 1: four of two thousand eleven, so whatever that adds up
Speaker 1: to one of those days it was. It was a Sunday,
Speaker 1: and unfortunately for me, I kind of started it. This
Speaker 1: was back when there was some doubt over whether Jaguars
Speaker 1: games would be uh blacked out or not. That was
Speaker 1: still a thing, and I sort of made the chronic
Speaker 1: and hey, all, I'll do this every day and until
Speaker 1: it gain is blacked out, sort of making the point
Speaker 1: that I didn't think at that point anymore would be
Speaker 1: blacked out. And I was just sort of flippingly said, hey, y'all,
Speaker 1: well guess what JP put your money where you're math.
Speaker 1: But on a serious now, that's not why I do
Speaker 1: it anymore. As we've talked about, it's not overly hard
Speaker 1: the answer fans questions, and it seems like read it
Speaker 1: every day. Uh, it just for me to sit down
Speaker 1: and answer Jaguar's sans questions. I feel fortunate too write
Speaker 1: about football for a living when a lot of people
Speaker 1: a lot frankly and in the industry came from don't
Speaker 1: have the opportunity. So the answer some questions for people,
Speaker 1: and I think most people have a good time when
Speaker 1: they're reading it. To do that really isn't that hard.
Speaker 1: It's not big deal, and you know you're getting questions.
Speaker 1: When you stop getting questions, you know there are bigger issues.
Speaker 1: So there is any no doubt. Um, John, you've started
Speaker 1: the ozone podcast. We've touched on this the last few weeks,
Speaker 1: but this week we visited with Terry Robisky, running backs coach,
Speaker 1: and Marcus Pollard, the director of player development, and those
Speaker 1: are two gentlemen that were instrumental in the march from
Speaker 1: the stadium to the Jacksonville Sheriff's office steps. Robiski has
Speaker 1: been around this league for darn near forty years and
Speaker 1: as an assistant coach starting with the Raiders way back
Speaker 1: in the early eighties after a short playing career that
Speaker 1: was injury shortened. In fact, Marcus Pollard had a long
Speaker 1: career in the NFL as a tight end, was a
Speaker 1: basketball player coming up and then worked his way in
Speaker 1: the NFL a long career there and now on the
Speaker 1: football side, basically as an adviser of sorts for players.
Speaker 1: But UM, these guys were right there in the front
Speaker 1: of this thing a few weeks ago and it was
Speaker 1: what a forty four minute podcast that you had with
Speaker 1: them this week? What what extra did you get out
Speaker 1: of the conversation with him this week that maybe we
Speaker 1: didn't hear a couple of weeks ago. Well, the reason
Speaker 1: I wanted to have him on UM is, first of all,
Speaker 1: they represent probably close to sixty five cumulative years of
Speaker 1: NFL experience. H Terry has been at it, as you said,
Speaker 1: since seventy seven Marcus started in the league, and he
Speaker 1: hasn't I mean, I think he was out of the
Speaker 1: elite for three or four years between retiring and comes
Speaker 1: to Jaguar. So these guys have seen a lot. And
Speaker 1: it struck me you were there with me JP when
Speaker 1: Terry talked about I thought Terry was incredibly moving when
Speaker 1: he talked during the March, I guess it's been two
Speaker 1: or three weeks now too, and but he talked for
Speaker 1: maybe a minute and a half or two minutes, and
Speaker 1: it struck me that certainly, if he was interesting in
Speaker 1: that regard, if Mark's was interesting on the on the
Speaker 1: steps during an emotional time, that there had to be
Speaker 1: a lot more and some background into what they were
Speaker 1: talking about that they could talk about there. So I
Speaker 1: hoped that by having them on I could get a
Speaker 1: little more of a feel for why. For Terry Robiski
Speaker 1: it was. It was so moving for him to have
Speaker 1: heard what shod Con wrote or to have read what
Speaker 1: shot Com wrote on the website when he talked about
Speaker 1: uh his essay on racism and to talk about what
Speaker 1: Doug Moron's leadership had meant, and he talks about both
Speaker 1: things on the steps, and in talking to both of them,
Speaker 1: they both expanded on that and expanded on a lot
Speaker 1: of the issues as to why what the players are
Speaker 1: doing and why the actions that they are taking on
Speaker 1: the racial equality, racial and social justice whatever we're calling it,
Speaker 1: why that matter to them so much, and why they
Speaker 1: believe in their hearts that this feels different, and why
Speaker 1: it's so important in all the issues. So it was
Speaker 1: as interesting and as insightful, I think as I thought
Speaker 1: it would be, and I thought the most interesting thing
Speaker 1: that came from it. Both of them talked, and both
Speaker 1: of them kept circling back even when this wasn't the topic,
Speaker 1: to how important the Doug Morons approach in terms of
Speaker 1: making everybody feel comfortable talking about this or as comfortable
Speaker 1: as as possible, and promoting the conversation how important that's been.
Speaker 1: So our podcast next week is talking to coach Maron
Speaker 1: about some of the same issues, and I think it's
Speaker 1: taken in total. I think it's a chance if you
Speaker 1: listen to it for about an hour and a half,
Speaker 1: you really get a full feel for how some of
Speaker 1: these conversations started, the tone of it, why that he
Speaker 1: feels like it's important, and most importantly, why they feel
Speaker 1: like it will continue to be an important topic that
Speaker 1: everybody takes seriously, but even within the context of the season.
Speaker 1: So long wit answer obviously, but I certainly feel like
Speaker 1: we were able to talk about a lot of issues
Speaker 1: that are really important right now. And this is going
Speaker 1: to be important obviously throughout this season. And you know,
Speaker 1: Doug Moron is going to carve out time in the
Speaker 1: weekly schedule to have conversations about this with his football team.
Speaker 1: That's that's really a slam dunk for him. I think
Speaker 1: he's definitely gonna do that, and um, you know, I
Speaker 1: think the players wouldn't like it if he didn't like
Speaker 1: they were going to talk about it anyway, So make
Speaker 1: the time for it, address it the right way, and
Speaker 1: I think that's the way that Jaguars are going to
Speaker 1: go here. John O's your senior writer Jaguars dot Com
Speaker 1: with us. You know, we we touched a little bit
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks on this three four four
Speaker 1: three defense thing. Um we have. It's certainly overblown. It's
Speaker 1: not Madden, You're not like, you know, Todd wash said
Speaker 1: that they haven't changed anything they've taught on their defensive front.
Speaker 1: That you know, they still have the same fronts that
Speaker 1: they've had, but they just have some different personnel and
Speaker 1: they'll move some guys around a little bit. But it's
Speaker 1: not like you're gonna choose the three four defense in
Speaker 1: this on this play and Madden and the next play
Speaker 1: bringing the four three and it's a totally different look.
Speaker 1: That's that's not what this thing feels like at all. Well,
Speaker 1: and so listen to Todd talk about it. Listen to
Speaker 1: Dug talk a a little bit. They will be in
Speaker 1: some front where they line up and it looks like
Speaker 1: a three four when three four defense. What he means
Speaker 1: is they are not a pure I you know, old
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers we had a huge nose tackle, and then
Speaker 1: you had to quote defensive ends who were really glamorized
Speaker 1: defensive tackles who didn't rush the past or they weren't
Speaker 1: shooting gaps, and he said, they're not really a two
Speaker 1: gap team because teams that have those kind of players
Speaker 1: asked those guys just to still gaps and not to
Speaker 1: us the quarterback very much, and they're not quick twitch,
Speaker 1: hit gap kind of players. The Jaguars have more players
Speaker 1: who were one gap style, so it sounds like the
Speaker 1: biggest difference is the strong sidelinebacker, who in this scheme
Speaker 1: has been a Leon Jacobs type who plays off the ball,
Speaker 1: whose pursuing side to side. They have more guys who
Speaker 1: from that position can go line up put their hand
Speaker 1: on the ground. And everybody I've talked to, and I
Speaker 1: talked to Jason Rebovitch about this a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and I didn't want to run the story until Tid
Speaker 1: had had a chance to talk. He said the same
Speaker 1: thing to Ti to talk about. It's about versatility, and
Speaker 1: it's about being able to give the offenses more pre
Speaker 1: snap looks that aren't eight four three looks. So they're
Speaker 1: gonna use these players because Unique can do this, and
Speaker 1: Josh Allen can do this, and Cassius Marsh they can
Speaker 1: line up as defensive ends or lineback. That's the biggest
Speaker 1: difference rather than the three or four four three in
Speaker 1: a look. By the way, JP, that is about of
Speaker 1: what they do. So it's it's a lot of talk
Speaker 1: about you know, I've had people actually get mad, Oh,
Speaker 1: Todd wash is an idiot because he's not running a
Speaker 1: three four? What how do you do? You know, they're
Speaker 1: trying to find a steam that fits their person now
Speaker 1: the best no matter what you call, there's no magic
Speaker 1: to a three four. Their defense wasn't bad last year
Speaker 1: because they didn't run a three four. It was bad
Speaker 1: because a lot of the players they had weren't playing
Speaker 1: as well, they were getting old, and now they're trying
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to revamp the schemes. Anyway, JP,
Speaker 1: it's a literally it's a little bit of a pet
Speaker 1: peeve of But that's fine. That's why I brought it up.
Speaker 1: I knew it. Yeah, I wanted to get a reaction
Speaker 1: out of you, John. They're trying to figure out the
Speaker 1: best team to fit the players that they've gone and gotten.
Speaker 1: Then that's what they're going to be doing. That's what
Speaker 1: they should do, right, makes sense. Yeah, And I'll keep
Speaker 1: gad you questions about the three four three and and
Speaker 1: that's fine, but it's it's a lot of it's gonna
Speaker 1: be different looks. It's gonna be what this scheme has
Speaker 1: been all along, a hybrid four three three four team
Speaker 1: that depending on the personnel, can change based on the personnel.
Speaker 1: John Osha with us you mentioned that unique and got
Speaker 1: Quay's name in there, and that has been pretty quiet
Speaker 1: as of late. You know, there was a lot of
Speaker 1: tweeting going on a month or two ago from John,
Speaker 1: and you know, there's all as we've mentioned in the past,
Speaker 1: there's only a few different things that can happen here
Speaker 1: on this thing. But I'm curious if that heats up
Speaker 1: at some point and if there's a deal done or
Speaker 1: a trade done or what. You know, we just haven't
Speaker 1: heard from that in a while, you know. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: it feels like nothing to be said and nothing to
Speaker 1: say for a while, and that one to I fIF
Speaker 1: team throws around or whatever, this will start bubbling up
Speaker 1: into a topic again. I would anticipate complete from me
Speaker 1: on at some point. It wouldn't surprise me. I I
Speaker 1: just don't know really what's going to change from what
Speaker 1: David called look that after the draft, which is the hey,
Speaker 1: we welcome him back, they didn't get any deals. My
Speaker 1: understanding is they are in no hurry and not of
Speaker 1: the inclination to trade Unique got way. This is not
Speaker 1: a situation where the jag wardor saying we need him
Speaker 1: out of the building. They want him in the building.
Speaker 1: So right now, if if he doesn't play for the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: he doesn't play so and and more importantly, probably he
Speaker 1: doesn't get paid. So is is that just smoke? Are
Speaker 1: they looking to trade him sometime in August? I don't
Speaker 1: think that. I I don't know how it'll play out,
Speaker 1: but I don't know that. A whole lot of scenes
Speaker 1: from last of the draft and right that's the draft,
Speaker 1: it felt like if he doesn't play here, he's not
Speaker 1: gonna play. Maybe that's why he's being quiet. I always
Speaker 1: has to want to answer this day. I don't really
Speaker 1: like to put words in Unique's mouth because he's perfectly
Speaker 1: capable in tween that on his own. And I'll be
Speaker 1: up front, I don't talk to Unique during the off
Speaker 1: season just because I'm not calling players on that regard,
Speaker 1: so I don't know what he's thinking or why he
Speaker 1: does what he dies. I like covering him. I hope
Speaker 1: he plays for the Jaguars, but because of his personality type,
Speaker 1: which is he's his own guy. Now, that's what I
Speaker 1: mean by that, he's gonna do what he wants to do.
Speaker 1: I can't predict what he's gonna play it next year.
Speaker 1: I hope he does well. We got the summer months
Speaker 1: there to get to training camp and then we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens on that front. And uh, you know that's
Speaker 1: a big if obviously, the training camp and all that. Hey,
