1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Bi everyone, we have general manager James Gladstone available. Please

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: raise your hand if you have a question, we can

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: start with Jamal then move to Demetrius or.

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: What's going on James?

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 3: How you doing? Life is good? How are you guys?

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: Pretty good out here at TPC, so we're might have

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 2: to pull you out here. What do you like about

8
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: Chris Rodriguez?

9
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot to like.

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 4: You know, obviously Liam has some familiar aarity with him

11
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 4: dating back to his time at Kentucky. Beyond that, it's

12
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 4: kind of fun like if I unravel sort of diving

13
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 4: into who he's been as a professional football player and

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 4: get into the nuances of our exposure to him and

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 4: lead up to the decision to prioritize him as an

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 4: untendered RFA, it was. You know, it's interesting when we

17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 4: watch players. Tony Boselli has been a consistent pen in that.

18
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 3: But you know, he's.

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 4: Fallen into the line of if you watch the tape

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 4: right before, sharing his perspective on each player, and and

21
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 4: we've kind of fallen into that becoming a funny comment

22
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 4: knowing that he's usually talking to a group of people

23
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 4: that have watched the tape and and so with that,

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 4: Chris Rodriguez is in fact somebody that if you watch

25
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 4: the tape, you understand very quickly exactly who he is

26
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 4: as a football player, the superpowers that he taps into consistently,

27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 4: and you know, if you draw back to his time

28
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 4: at Kentucky, it's remained a constant he is.

29
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: He's very physical at the point of attack.

30
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 4: He has a really good pace in his approach to

31
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage and finding the lanes. Obviously an

32
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 4: intimate understanding of the system.

33
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: And how Liam likes to call things.

34
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of strong matches just generally from

35
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 4: how you know those two in tandem can really work together.

36
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 4: And then are also our interest in continue to find

37
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 4: ways to level up our capacity in.

38
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: The run game to you know, make it a really.

39
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 4: Balanced attack, being able to attack the perimeter and also

40
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 4: the inside and really you know, fair and balanced forms.

41
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 4: And I think that Chris seamlessly provides that.

42
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 2: You talk team building philosophy briefly, I mean kind of

43
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: quiet through free agency, there's been that frenzy and Jaguars

44
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: fans not necessarily used to it, so maybe a little

45
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: bit of frantic waiting for you to do something there and.

46
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: Quite a bit different than you know a year ago today.

47
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 4: Right, we came out the gates what you might call

48
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 4: is hot, sign in double digit free agents external free

49
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 4: agents right off the bat a year ago, and you know,

50
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 4: the whole approach to that cycle.

51
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 3: Was raised the floor of the football team, and that

52
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: was a part of it.

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 4: We're at a stage now where you know, a higher

54
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 4: volume of draft capital is what we're hunting up in

55
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 4: those compensatory picks. When you think about high price free

56
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 4: agency of ours ended up signing elsewhere well deserved contracts.

57
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 3: I mean a lot of guys that have already.

58
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 4: Announced his signing, I mean they did their part to

59
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 4: put themselves in really sound positions to earn that and

60
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 4: excited for all those guys. In return, by not signing

61
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 4: any outside.

62
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 3: Free agents, we recoup twenty.

63
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 4: Twenty seven draft capital, and I think on its surface,

64
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 4: you would think, oh, Okay, you're going to make picks

65
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty seven, whereas in reality those draft picks

66
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 4: and having more of them actually allows you the luxury

67
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 4: of remaining in the hunt at different intervals throughout the

68
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 4: entire calendar year for acquiring players. You think about training camp,

69
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 4: a year ago and using a Day three pick to

70
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 4: acquire a wide receiver and Tim Patrick, you think about

71
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 4: ahead of the trade deadline and being able to use

72
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 4: two picks on Day three to acquire a wide receiver

73
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 4: in Jacobe Myers. Without that draft capital at your disposal,

74
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 4: you may not be as willing or able to relinquish

75
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 4: some of those future picks. So by building that up now,

76
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: it allows us the luxury of remaining sort of with

77
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: the flexibility to do those sorts of things as we

78
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 4: move into the next stages of the offseason and into

79
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 4: the regular season.

80
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,559
Speaker 1: Chad James, we'll go to Petrius then to Brent.

81
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 5: Hey, James, you you sort of touched her on this

82
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 5: with the comp picks, But in terms of I guess letting,

83
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 5: for lack of a better term, Devin Lloyd Walk, how

84
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 5: challenging was that for you guys, And just you know,

85
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 5: how does that sort of change the outlook of the

86
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 5: linebacker room moving forward?

87
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think Devin's impact on our football team over

88
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 4: the course of the last year was nothing short of,

89
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 4: you know, significant, and without him, without his on ball production,

90
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: games are gonna look a lot different. The results of

91
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 4: those games are gonna look a lot different, and I

92
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 4: know that our coaching staff had such.

93
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: A high appreciate for what he did.

94
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 4: The players in the locker room loved to play beside

95
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 4: him and appreciate all the pieces.

96
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: That he brought to the puzzle.

97
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 4: Beyond that, I think we can look at our own

98
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: that we still have as people that can step in

99
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 4: and have stepped in over the course of their rookie contracts.

100
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 4: A Ventro Miller, he started multiple games at linebacker for

101
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 4: US and did so even last year.

102
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: And beyond that, Branson Combs.

103
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 4: Who is an undrafted college free agent, found his mark

104
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 4: on special teams and still has a lot of upside

105
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: that can be built upon. You know, beyond that, you

106
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 4: look at the middle linebacker spot and Foyer, who's held

107
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 4: that down for quite a few years and is the

108
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 4: leader of that crew, is you know, it's really exciting

109
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 4: to know that he can continue to evolve in that

110
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 4: capacity with Jack Kiser right behind him. And then you

111
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 4: know the fact that we were able to get Dennis

112
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: Back who wasn't assigning until after the draft last year

113
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 4: and really made his dent within the really flexible role

114
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 4: that is sam backer, being able to rush, being able

115
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 4: to drop being able to really be active on special

116
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 4: teams and bring a competitive fire that you know, anybody

117
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 4: who loves football will love Dennis Gardak And you know,

118
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 4: I think that was pretty clear, and he you know,

119
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 4: he allowed Campy, who really appreciates that sam backer position,

120
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 4: to grow it and really make it so that was

121
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 4: suited for you know, what Dennis does best. And then

122
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 4: right behind him, you got you know McLeod who's coming

123
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 4: off of really a red shirt year dealing with his injuries.

124
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: And then also yes.

125
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 4: Her Abdullah who's obviously been such a critical piece in

126
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 4: particular on special teams. So there's a lot of experience

127
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 4: coming back with you know, obviously still room to find

128
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 4: ways to improve over the course of the offseason, not

129
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 4: including just the draft.

130
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 5: Thank you.

131
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: We'll go to Brent, then to O'Halloran.

132
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 6: Hey, James.

133
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 7: As you know, there are a lot of rumors that

134
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 7: fly around and reports this time of year, but there

135
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 7: was some you know, reputable reports over the weekend about

136
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 7: you guys being linked to Crosby before he got traded

137
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 7: or when he got traded to the Ravens. Is there

138
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 7: any merit to it and how much are you guys

139
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 7: still actively trying to fortify potentially that defensive front.

140
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's going to be an ongoing process

141
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 4: where we're continuing to map out how we can level up,

142
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 4: and you know, that's a pairing of personnel and scheme

143
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: and also the back end being tied to rush plans

144
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 4: and continuing to ensure that we're able to stop the

145
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 4: run at such a high tick like we were last

146
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 4: year without diluting that element, but still improving the pass rush.

147
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 4: So that's a fun piece to this offseason to try

148
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 4: to really map out that wasn't necessarily something that we

149
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 4: were actively engaged in. We're always communicating with other clubs

150
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 4: on you know, the landscape of their thoughts, and I

151
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 4: can tell you, in particular, never got down to a.

152
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 3: Real dialogue exploring.

153
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 7: That one follow up, if you don't mind up, you

154
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 7: guys were active last year, you spent a good amount

155
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 7: of money. It's a chance to get better this time

156
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 7: of year as a football team. Potentially, is it hard

157
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 7: to be disciplined the way you guys were this week

158
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 7: or are you just almost kind of forced to be

159
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 7: disciplined with the nature of your cap situation.

160
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Fomo sets in a little bit. You

161
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 3: know we're all human.

162
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 4: Well at the same time, it's not uncharted territory for me.

163
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 4: You know, it's not uncharted territory for Liam. He was

164
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 4: with us at the RAMS, and you know, this was

165
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 4: an approach that we took in multiple cycles and it's

166
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 4: really one that I know well and feel confident can

167
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 4: navigate and really be able to use all the different

168
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 4: intervals that lie in front of us to continue to

169
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 4: shape what will be the twenty twenty six Jacksonville Jaguar.

170
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 4: It's exciting for my vantage point to know that, you know,

171
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 4: the start of the league year began yesterday, roughly twenty

172
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 4: four hours ago, a little less and it's nothing more

173
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 4: than the start.

174
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 7: Thanks appreciate it, Ohhalleran, And to.

175
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: D Rock, Hey, James, I got two for you.

176
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 8: First one is Brian Thomas Junior, so intense interest from

177
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 8: other teams been in trading for him.

178
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 3: And have you even got an offer yet?

179
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 4: No, we haven't, and there hasn't been a ton of

180
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 4: dialogue around that front as teams check in simply because

181
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 4: it seems like there's another word reputable came up earlier.

182
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 4: I don't think there's been any reputable statement. We don't

183
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 4: have any real action on any of those fronts. And

184
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 4: you know, as I think you think back to where

185
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 4: we landed at the end of the season, where our

186
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 4: passing attack was, we have no interest in disrupting the momentum.

187
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 3: We look forward to continuing.

188
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 4: To build off of where we left things and know

189
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 4: that Brian Thomas is a big piece to that puzzle

190
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 4: and we don't want to make sure that that gets

191
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 4: disrupted at any time.

192
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 8: Then secondly, for me, where you are in the draft process,

193
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 8: you have four picks from fifty six to one. Where

194
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 8: you're at with your evaluations, are your needs going to

195
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 8: match up with the strengths and the sweet spots of

196
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 8: those rounds two and three?

197
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: That is a really fair question. I think the best.

198
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 4: Way to sort of think about that is right now,

199
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 4: what we've structured it to be is that we don't

200
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 4: have to pick based off of need necessarily at any

201
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 4: specific spot.

202
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: That's a luxury.

203
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 4: I think when I was with the Los Angeles Rams,

204
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 4: there were too many drafts and I got to live

205
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 4: this where you felt pressed to take a specific position,

206
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 4: and there were instances where it worked out fine for us.

207
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 4: There were instances where it didn't, and that may just

208
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 4: be the draft. It may just be the way that

209
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 4: those Pacific situations unfolded. But I think walking into the

210
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 4: door on day two, as it stands right now, we're

211
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 4: not saying that we need this position at this spot,

212
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 4: which is a luxury, and I'm excited about that. It

213
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 4: means that we can really take somebody that we understand

214
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 4: that we have a clear vision for alignment on and

215
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 4: it doesn't have to be dependent on it's got to

216
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 4: be at this specific spot or this side of ball.

217
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 3: Gotrick, Thanks Javis, thank.

218
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 9: You, Sorry Emily James. Was there an attempt to try

219
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 9: and get or try and resign Travis etn And obviously

220
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 9: with him being gone, what's the level of confidence you

221
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 9: guys have in too and being able to kind of be,

222
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 9: you know, for lack of a better term than number

223
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 9: one guy.

224
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a fair question. We engage with his reps

225
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 3: and monitored his market.

226
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 4: We approached it knowing that his his contract was going

227
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 4: to be pretty pretty high and wanted to make sure

228
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 4: that we were never out of the loop on that.

229
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 4: And you know, as things progressed, we obviously made the

230
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 4: decision to to sort of step aside and have him

231
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 4: get what was earned, and I think he's pretty darn excited,

232
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 4: it seems to be back in his home state and

233
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 4: be able to step into that that that stadium, and

234
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 4: I know for us, it's really exciting because you know,

235
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 4: base Shall was in a spot obviously where he didn't

236
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: receive the bulk of the carries, but certainly had his

237
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 4: moments to shine throughout the course of the year and showcase,

238
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 4: you know, a good chunk of what he has to offer.

239
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 4: And outside of just base Shall, you got Laquin who

240
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 4: carved out a very clear role in contribution to the

241
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 4: football team. Bringing Chris and you got a nice little

242
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 4: trio alongside DJ Dallas.

243
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 3: And Jacquintin Jackson.

244
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 4: So it's a it's a really good crew that we

245
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 4: feel confident in at this stage. Look forward to seeing

246
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 4: how things unfold throughout the course of the spring, and

247
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 4: you know, a lot on our coaches to get get

248
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 4: hands on with Chris and see how that all takes shape.

249
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 3: But as it stands, it's a it's a fairly.

250
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 4: Well rounded, complimentary group and we're excited about it.

251
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 10: And back to Brian Thomas real quick, are you amused

252
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 10: when you see rumors like that just sort of take

253
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 10: a life, take on a life of their home around

254
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 10: the league. When you get to free agency or whatever,

255
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 10: it's like this, and then the next thing you know,

256
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 10: there's like seven or eight people that are talking about,

257
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 10: you know, Brian Thomas available on the market. I mean,

258
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 10: do you guys even do you care?

259
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 3: Does it bother you when that's out there?

260
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 10: What's the reaction when all that happens?

261
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 3: It can be very strange, for sure. I care more

262
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 3: for you know, what weight that might.

263
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 4: Put on Brian himself right when you know it's it's

264
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 4: something that's entirely out of his control and unnecessary. So

265
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 4: I think that's where my mind would go, if anything,

266
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 4: But uh, you know, when it's fraudulent claims, it's.

267
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 3: You just keep it.

268
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 4: You get you know, keep your mind on what you

269
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 4: can you can focus on and you can actually control and.

270
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 3: Try to do what's best for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

271
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 4: And ultimately that's not the hardest thing to do when

272
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 4: you know that's the role and where you can try

273
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 4: to compartimentalize things. But yeah, if anything, it's it's hopefully

274
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 4: it's not a wait that comes with the player that

275
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 4: ever would be involved in.

276
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: Such a thing.

277
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, we're working under time constraints. We have time

278
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: for just two more quick questions. We can go to

279
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: Rick and then to Shipley.

280
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 11: How you doing, James?

281
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: Life is good. How are you good?

282
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 12: I'm doing great? Just overall? How are things different for

283
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 12: you right now? You are really thrown into it a

284
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 12: year ago when you got here with free agency and

285
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 12: you guys made such a dramatic turn as far as

286
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 12: your roster and then what forty two days away from

287
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 12: the draft just to have your own scouts in place,

288
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 12: pro personnel directors in place. How different is this compared

289
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 12: to one year ago?

290
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think last year you were there was a

291
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 6: lot of translation in comparison, not everybody speaking the same

292
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 6: language and trying to bridge that gap.

293
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: This year, it's very seamless.

294
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 4: Dialogue is you know, on the same plane, and it

295
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 4: allows for you know, when communications operating at a high tick,

296
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 4: it allows decisions to you know, unfold in a way

297
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 4: that you would, you know, feel really confident in because

298
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 4: of that, right, there's clarity that comes with that. So

299
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 4: there's a lot of energy that I look back on

300
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 4: a year ago that was applied to bridging the gap,

301
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 4: and you know, a lot of parallel modes of operation

302
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 4: that were being brought together, but this is now a

303
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 4: situation where everybody's walking down the same track, so that

304
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 4: allows it to be a little bit more efficient.

305
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: Thank you, thanks for asking last one.

306
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 11: Shipley, Hey James, thanks for doing this just because I

307
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 11: don't believe asked about him yet, Buster Brown bringing him

308
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 11: back because how much flexibility does I give you? You mentioned

309
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 11: that you know you don't feel like you have a

310
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 11: need really being forced, I mean just knowing you guys

311
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 11: know several guys that cornerback to where that's not like

312
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 11: something glaring heading into April.

313
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, a time so Jack to have Buster back, and

314
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 4: you know his interest in being back existed, and you know,

315
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 4: when it's such a strong match, both parties really interested

316
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,880
