Speaker 1: It is Thursday August. This is Jaguars Happy Hour. And
Speaker 1: now a guy who hasn't been in diapers in months,
Speaker 1: Jay Peace Shad, it has been a little while. We
Speaker 1: will hear from Jay Gruden coming up as well. Welcome
Speaker 1: in Jaguars Happy Hour on this Thursday afternoon from the
Speaker 1: home studio. Just in a different room of the home
Speaker 1: studio this week if you're watching on at Jaguars and
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com. J P. Shatrick with you. Glad to
Speaker 1: be along with you as always, and Jeff Lagman is
Speaker 1: set up in his new look home studio as well, lives.
Speaker 1: What's up, Bud. It's all good, j C. It's all good.
Speaker 1: I like your background there. You've got the musical thing
Speaker 1: kind of going on there. Yeah, a little bit, you know,
Speaker 1: rolling stones, trumps, mixing in some local flavor what not. Right,
Speaker 1: it's a good thing. It's a good thing. It sits you. Well,
Speaker 1: the let's get to what's coming up on the show today.
Speaker 1: Camp continues. Of course we were out there today. I
Speaker 1: was out there today for the second day in a row.
Speaker 1: Defensive line changes. A lot of moving parts there up
Speaker 1: front on the defensive side for the Jacksonville Jaguars offensive
Speaker 1: installation that continues. That's the diaper reference that Druden talked
Speaker 1: about earlier. And we'll go around the National Football League
Speaker 1: as we always do, so logs, works out, workouts continue.
Speaker 1: This is really a phase two type of situation. They're
Speaker 1: in helmets, um, there's no shoulder pads, there's no contact,
Speaker 1: offenses staying on their side of the field, defenses on
Speaker 1: their field, and they're not doing anything against each other yet.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of drill work to be done.
Speaker 1: That's really about it right now. Yeah, so are you
Speaker 1: are you really calling it camp? I mean really, I
Speaker 1: mean it's it's not really a training camp so to speak.
Speaker 1: I mean there's still in this build up stage to
Speaker 1: get to the point where they do put on pads,
Speaker 1: which is coming up, I believe on the fourteen, I
Speaker 1: believe it is, or is it the seventeen. It's coming soon.
Speaker 1: It's coming on the left right now. I mean there,
Speaker 1: it's literally, I mean, this is going back to the
Speaker 1: basic fundamentals of football, which can be good and it
Speaker 1: also can be maybe not so good, because I'm sure
Speaker 1: a lot of the older guys are like, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: I graduated football one oh, one years ago, and I'm
Speaker 1: on an advanced level of football here, and so let's
Speaker 1: start working on other things and not just working against
Speaker 1: bags and working against air. Let's work against each other
Speaker 1: to where we can work on techniques and work on
Speaker 1: the scheme and the entire scheme against the defense. So
Speaker 1: but it's just as as dun Morone said many times,
Speaker 1: there's nothing normal about this year, and everything is new
Speaker 1: and everybody's just gonna have to adapt to the jobs.
Speaker 1: And part of that adjustment is a new offense too.
Speaker 1: I mean that's they're in the midst of being on
Speaker 1: the field for the first time. Though they can't you know,
Speaker 1: they can run eleven, but they can't run against the defense.
Speaker 1: So they're trying to work some things in. But it's
Speaker 1: hard to do everything in a new offense right now. Long.
Speaker 1: So we heard from Jay Gruden, the offensive coordinator, earlier
Speaker 1: this week and he was asked, in fact, you know,
Speaker 1: how far along is this offense and how far is
Speaker 1: left to go. I'm gonna not speak for Yon out
Speaker 1: of respect for him. He's earned the right. He he
Speaker 1: played his contract out, he played four years, and he's
Speaker 1: earned the right to do what's best for him. And
Speaker 1: his family. And you know, obviously he's a guy that
Speaker 1: we know what he brings to the table. His coaches
Speaker 1: love on, his teammates love him. We all, you know,
Speaker 1: we love love his energy. The fan base loves him.
Speaker 1: So you know, ideally we would love to have him here.
Speaker 1: But I'll let him speak on his behalf of what's
Speaker 1: going on. And um, I know he's uh making some
Speaker 1: calculated decisions. We'll hear from Jake Rudin coming up in
Speaker 1: just a minute. That, of course, was Dave called Well
Speaker 1: discussing Unique in Dockway and that's another situation live. It's
Speaker 1: happening this week. Reportedly Unique and Dockway part of ways
Speaker 1: with his agent again. So and Dave called Well spoke
Speaker 1: with Unique and got way. What do you think this means?
Speaker 1: Is this a good sign or is this just another
Speaker 1: day in the life. I don't think it really means anything,
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. The one thing here that
Speaker 1: I will say, because I got a lot of respecbration
Speaker 1: Dockway as the player, I thought that the way things
Speaker 1: were handled by him and his camp it wasn't very good. Um,
Speaker 1: you don't criticize and an owner of an NFL team,
Speaker 1: which is what and Gockway did with Tony Kahn. Uh,
Speaker 1: you don't publicly question the organization and a public warm
Speaker 1: I didn't understand that, unless you're I mean Jamal Adams.
Speaker 1: I guess I mean it seems that it's it's not
Speaker 1: isolated to just the Goockway situation, but in my opinion,
Speaker 1: with the economics of the NFL and the way things
Speaker 1: are right now with a global pandemic and a salary
Speaker 1: cap that's sure to be lowered significantly in future years. Boy,
Speaker 1: I if I'm a Gockway, I'm probably looking back at
Speaker 1: that situation last year ago. Man, I probably should have
Speaker 1: taken that opportunity at the extension because I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna be able to get that much money
Speaker 1: going forward. Was that part of the process as to
Speaker 1: why he changed agents. I don't know that H. Gockway
Speaker 1: is the only one that knows the answer to that,
Speaker 1: but I would certainly be having second thoughts and would
Speaker 1: be second guests in the decision to turn that contract
Speaker 1: down at this point. Now, let's get to the offense.
Speaker 1: We promised Jay Gruden, and he was asked this week,
Speaker 1: you know how far along is this offensive? Installation and
Speaker 1: how far is left to go? We're still in diapers
Speaker 1: right now. You know, we got a long way to go.
Speaker 1: But uh, I'm excited about the guys. First of all,
Speaker 1: you gotta have guys that are willing to learn and
Speaker 1: willing to work. And I feel like the mentality of
Speaker 1: this football team. Coach Maron does a great job of
Speaker 1: setting a tone for this team. And and these guys
Speaker 1: have come in and uh, they don't act like they
Speaker 1: know it all or had done blah blah blah. They
Speaker 1: they're willing to learn and do things the way we
Speaker 1: want to do things now. Alright, J Gruden the new
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, And you know how much can you really
Speaker 1: do in this time frame right now until you get
Speaker 1: into past. There's not a lot that can truly be done.
Speaker 1: Right Well, first of all, the reference to still being
Speaker 1: in diapers was classic. It It's awesome. Uh. I think
Speaker 1: Gruden's got a little way about and I think both
Speaker 1: Grutens do that where they can entertain when they have
Speaker 1: a little bit of a press conference, but when you're
Speaker 1: at where you're at at as an offense and as
Speaker 1: a football team, where you're not even practicing offense against defense, absolutely,
Speaker 1: you're still in diapers, especially since you didn't have any
Speaker 1: O T s, you didn't have any mini camps, you
Speaker 1: had nothing to develop your offense with. So they're still
Speaker 1: at the very early stages with this offense. And it's
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's comical, but it's it's
Speaker 1: kind of interesting to see when he gets asked a
Speaker 1: question about, hey, how does a guy look well, I
Speaker 1: mean hack. I don't want to say this is the
Speaker 1: underwear Olympics, but I mean they haven't had an opportunity
Speaker 1: to evaluate their personnel against other people, so they've got
Speaker 1: a long way to go. Um. And I want to
Speaker 1: say this about Gruten. He is fun to listen to
Speaker 1: and in a lot of ways. I was thinking back
Speaker 1: to that that movie I think it was Bull Durham
Speaker 1: was a nu laluch. That's right. Gruden is he has
Speaker 1: got he has got some cliche and I'm telling you
Speaker 1: he uses them all. Write this down, right, which is
Speaker 1: one of the good stuff, greatest scenes of a movie ever.
Speaker 1: Kevin calls to just just write it down, just write
Speaker 1: it down, and so Gruden when he was doing it,
Speaker 1: I think it was about JP like a twenty minute
Speaker 1: conversation with the media Ballpark is somewhere there maybe eighteen
Speaker 1: minutes and uh and he you know, and he's trying
Speaker 1: to be helpful, but I mean, the simple answer to
Speaker 1: a lot of the questions is like, guys, we've just started,
Speaker 1: you know, we're we've acclimated, we're just conditioning. We haven't
Speaker 1: even really practiced yet, So what do you want me
Speaker 1: to say? So, I mean, I mean, the the perfect
Speaker 1: phrasing by Gruden with the answers on a lot of
Speaker 1: those situations. It was just flat out entertaining for me anyway.
Speaker 1: And I think we'll have some fun with Gruden throughout
Speaker 1: the year, hearing from him on a weekly basis on
Speaker 1: game weeks at least the coordinators have made available each
Speaker 1: and every week he is coordinating an offense with a
Speaker 1: second your quarterback and Gardner minshew. But it has been
Speaker 1: a while since Gardner has been in this type of
Speaker 1: situation as the starting quarterback. Going into a training camp
Speaker 1: and going into the season for Gardener has been a
Speaker 1: long time. I actually haven't had a camp like this
Speaker 1: going into it since I guess my senior year of
Speaker 1: high school. So it's it's it's it's awesome. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of just being with the guys and trying to
Speaker 1: figure out how we, you know, what we want to
Speaker 1: be as a team, because we get to define that
Speaker 1: right now. There's a group of the group of guys
Speaker 1: on this team, group of leaders that have a very
Speaker 1: real opportunity to change culture here, to develop a winning culture. Um.
Speaker 1: And I think it's already starting. Yeah, I think about that, Logs.
Speaker 1: The last time he was the starting quarterback going into
Speaker 1: a season was high school. That's crazy, but it makes
Speaker 1: a lot of sense because that college career was he
Speaker 1: took the scenic route. I would guess you would say
Speaker 1: in his college career going to a bunch of different places. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a bunch of different places. Now East Carolina Junior College
Speaker 1: and until the West Coast. I mean, holy cow, he's
Speaker 1: been all over the place. But make no mistake, Gardner Minshew,
Speaker 1: I don't think feels comfortable, nor should he feel comfortable.
Speaker 1: You know, he played ten games as a rookie. I
Speaker 1: mean that's it. I mean so um, And he talked
Speaker 1: about changing the culture and he said he feels like
Speaker 1: he's starting to change it now and and that's the positive,
Speaker 1: and that he feels that way. But the reality is
Speaker 1: there's a there's a lot of steps that you have
Speaker 1: to accomplish and meet before you say, Okay, we're changing
Speaker 1: the culture, because what are you trying to change? I mean,
Speaker 1: if it's just wins and losses, Uh, then you've got
Speaker 1: to be able to put games together in the w
Speaker 1: column to say that you've changed the culture. But there's
Speaker 1: a lot of things also that go into changing the culture.
Speaker 1: But it's got to come from the players. You know,
Speaker 1: playing played the game for a long time, and it's
Speaker 1: not very often that culture change can come just from
Speaker 1: the coaching staff. It's got to be a joint effort.
Speaker 1: And you've got to have some strong leadership in the
Speaker 1: locker room. And hopefully Gardner Minshew in a second year
Speaker 1: can ben provide some of that because it's not easy
Speaker 1: for young players to provide leadership in a locker room.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it takes them a few years to pay some
Speaker 1: dues and have success in the league for them to
Speaker 1: have that leadership type of of of ability. You've gotta
Speaker 1: have success and you've got to be a good player
Speaker 1: before you can be a leader. I believe in any
Speaker 1: NFL locker room and and looks This is the challenge,
Speaker 1: the great challenge, not just for the offense, but for
Speaker 1: this team as a whole. We've we've talked about it
Speaker 1: all offseason, how young this football team is, how new
Speaker 1: this football team is. Right, not just the youth and
Speaker 1: the rookies that are in, but the free agent additions
Speaker 1: from familiar faces in the last two three years are
Speaker 1: now moved on. They were leadership in that locker room
Speaker 1: in some instances. It's a lot of turnover, not just
Speaker 1: with rookies coming in, but with free agents coming in
Speaker 1: and and who's going to climb to the top of
Speaker 1: the mountain, if you will, in terms of leadership. That's
Speaker 1: that's a huge challenge overall, not just for the offense,
Speaker 1: but this entire football team. Who's gonna step up well?
Speaker 1: And the the change hasn't stopped I mean right, I
Speaker 1: mean the defense. The the the defensive line I think is
Speaker 1: a perfect example of that. And they've had some injury
Speaker 1: issues along the defensive front um. Now you're looking at
Speaker 1: trying to sign guys that are on the street and
Speaker 1: some veteran guys that are going to be available in
Speaker 1: the next couple of days to be able to practice
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars and so, uh, it's it's never any process,
Speaker 1: and it's never good when you have you know, you
Speaker 1: have two guys that opted out before you even got
Speaker 1: the training camp, and then now that you've gotten the
Speaker 1: training camp, you put two guys on I R. And
Speaker 1: then you have another guy with the non football illness
Speaker 1: that can't practice and coach says, don't even ask me
Speaker 1: for the next five or six days about where he's at,
Speaker 1: you know. So, I mean, it's it's a cons process
Speaker 1: and it's a big challenge for this team because look,
Speaker 1: you you've had a lot of change already and now
Speaker 1: you have even more change with this defensive front. Uh. Boy,
Speaker 1: it's unfortunately they haven't gotten to practices where they're in
Speaker 1: pad yet. Boy, when you get the pad, you would
Speaker 1: like to thank their hope that your football team can
Speaker 1: be as a as a group healthy and available for
Speaker 1: them to practice as a team. Let's come back in
Speaker 1: a moment. We'll hear from Joe Schobert, Jaguars middle linebacker.
Speaker 1: We'll see if this defense can get things going against
Speaker 1: the run this year. We'll touch again on the defensive
Speaker 1: line situation. We just touched down there. We'll hear from

Speaker 1: Definitely gonna be different. Um not having an O T
Speaker 1: A so to kind of get in. That's usually when
Speaker 1: the new guys get into the team and you start
Speaker 1: to create that bond. I mean, we had virtual, but
Speaker 1: you're gonna have bond so much over a computer screen.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting this year for sure. I
Speaker 1: think the team that adapts to this new system the
Speaker 1: best is gonna especially out of the gates in the season,
Speaker 1: UM be performing the best. So I think we have
Speaker 1: a good squad on the defense. The guys have been
Speaker 1: into it, been locked in, U been been enjoying themselves
Speaker 1: to having fun out. They're playing football and hopefully that'll
Speaker 1: be able to take us the right way. Joe Schobert,
Speaker 1: the Jaguars middle linebacker, acquired a free agency in this
Speaker 1: offseason and welcome back Jaguars Happy Hour j P Shadrick,
Speaker 1: Jeff Lagerman, and Tony Poselli's coming up at four thirty,
Speaker 1: so about twelve minutes or so from Big Bow. You know,
Speaker 1: Schobert's um You know, I don't think he's talked about enough. Now.
Speaker 1: We haven't seen them in pads or anything yet in
Speaker 1: full go on defense logs, but you know he's he's
Speaker 1: the middle linebacker. He's the one that's gonna be calling
Speaker 1: the plays and and the quarterback and the defense here.
Speaker 1: And I don't think he's been as um covered I
Speaker 1: think in media as he probably should. But I think
Speaker 1: he will at some point. I think he's gonna turn
Speaker 1: some heads. Hopefully we'll turn some heads once real football starts. Well,
Speaker 1: you hope and you that you get some resolution to
Speaker 1: what's happening up in front of him, because you know,
Speaker 1: we we were expecting for Joe Schulbert, have Al Woods
Speaker 1: and Avery Jones and and other guys that but now
Speaker 1: some are are unavailable because they're injured. So you hope
Speaker 1: that you can get some type of production up in
Speaker 1: front to allow Joe Schulbert and Miles Jack to be
Speaker 1: as good as they can be. So interesting though, and
Speaker 1: I don't know if you happen to catch this with
Speaker 1: Joe Schulbert's press conference. I'm sure you did, but I
Speaker 1: thought it was really interested because you here's a new
Speaker 1: guy coming from another team that typically would have all
Speaker 1: of the off season workouts. He left weights with his teammates,
Speaker 1: get the knowest teammates, and have practices with his teammates,
Speaker 1: and then eat lunch and dinner and breakfast and all,
Speaker 1: I mean, all those things that you that you do
Speaker 1: to bond with your teammates, and he had none of it.
Speaker 1: And so all of a sudden, now you start training
Speaker 1: camp late, and you walk in the door and you
Speaker 1: haven't ever really met anybody in person, and now everybody's
Speaker 1: wearing masks. And so I was kind of chuckled j
Speaker 1: P when Joe said, it's a challenge in that when
Speaker 1: you go into a new building and you meet people,
Speaker 1: but you're meeting this excuse my my tone here, you know,
Speaker 1: so you don't even get to see their whole face.
Speaker 1: And so he said it's a challenge to meet people
Speaker 1: and get to know them and to actually see who
Speaker 1: what they really look like. Completely because everybody's wearing a mask.
Speaker 1: I just thought that that was I thought it was
Speaker 1: insightful because I mean, here's a guy that's a new
Speaker 1: guy that's trying to find his way in the locker
Speaker 1: room and a new locker room at that, and it's
Speaker 1: all all these circumstances are surrounded. I thought that, Uh,
Speaker 1: that was a pretty deep thought by Joe Schobert. And uh,
Speaker 1: and here's a guy that I'm sure it was happy
Speaker 1: to get started here in Jacksonville, you know, after going
Speaker 1: through living in the basement of his in laws, I
Speaker 1: think is where he was at prior to coming to Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: So I'm sure that that was one of those moments
Speaker 1: we were like, yes, we're out of the lag basement. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he mentioned that at his press conference the other day.
Speaker 1: I think it was a mutual agreement that, you know,
Speaker 1: it's probably a good thing to get out of the basement.
Speaker 1: The parents were probably like, yeah, you guys need to
Speaker 1: go on and find your own place to two Way
Speaker 1: Street there. Obviously, on the defensive side of her lives,
Speaker 1: we've we've harped on it a lot, but it's the
Speaker 1: there's a reason why, because it's the main reason this
Speaker 1: defense struggled last year was they couldn't stop the run,
Speaker 1: certainly in the second half of that season and that
Speaker 1: stretch of two yard plus games against this defense. Avery
Speaker 1: Jones met the media today, the big nose tackle who's
Speaker 1: been here for eight years now. He was an undrafted player,
Speaker 1: the most tenured current Jaguar, and he was asked about
Speaker 1: that run defense. How do they improve it starting right now?
Speaker 1: Attention to detail. I mean, we saw a lot of
Speaker 1: things where we was probably in position to make up play,
Speaker 1: but little things like hand placement, keeping our shoulders square
Speaker 1: kept us from doing that. And then really just have
Speaker 1: to put it on our shoulders. I mean, I'm telling
Speaker 1: the guys that we lost people off this d line. Uh,
Speaker 1: the outside noise is expecting us to drop off, and
Speaker 1: we just have to use that to motivate ourselves. I Mean,
Speaker 1: we watch film every day and everyone felts like they
Speaker 1: have a chip on their shoulder because they know they're
Speaker 1: a better player than that. Abrey Jones has been around
Speaker 1: here for a long time and a big piece of
Speaker 1: that Jaguars defensive front. It is, as we've mentioned, a
Speaker 1: different looking defensive front. He mentioned that there he knows
Speaker 1: how much turnover there has been. But that's where this
Speaker 1: thing starts. Attention to detail. What does he mean by that? Well,
Speaker 1: most importantly is that you know you got to do
Speaker 1: your own job. I mean there were instances last year
Speaker 1: to where you had guys that weren't taking care of
Speaker 1: their responsibility. Because run defense it is not rocket science.
Speaker 1: I mean it's really it's not. Um it's a gap
Speaker 1: defense and you're in your gap, and if you're I
Speaker 1: have somebody that doesn't do their job and is out
Speaker 1: of their gap, then you can't stop the run. And
Speaker 1: when Aby's talking about attention to detail, a lot of
Speaker 1: times guys vacate their gap for whatever reason. But you
Speaker 1: always have to make sure that you do your job
Speaker 1: first and then after that then you can go ahead
Speaker 1: and float to another gap to maybe help out somebody
Speaker 1: else that's just getting beat physically, which happens in the
Speaker 1: National Football League. So, um, I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a big challenge for this Jaguars defensive I mean, al
Speaker 1: Woods was expected to be a big part of this
Speaker 1: run defense, big strong, physical, run stuffing type player that
Speaker 1: has a lot of games under his belt and and
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be honest with you, JP, I thought
Speaker 1: his film from last year was tremendous. I mean I'm
Speaker 1: talking tremendous when you know he didn't play a ton
Speaker 1: of staff, but when he did play, he was really good.
Speaker 1: And I thought it was gonna be a big boost
Speaker 1: to this Jaguars run defense having him. And then when
Speaker 1: he decided to opt out, which totally understand and totally
Speaker 1: respect his decision, but that's a big blow to this
Speaker 1: Jaguars football team. And and now you've you've got the
Speaker 1: defensive tackle that they signed from the Arizona Cardinals who
Speaker 1: has the non football illness, which uh Ronnie Gunner. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's tough. I mean, he's he was the other
Speaker 1: expected upgrade along your defensive front. And that's the type
Speaker 1: of and that's the guy that you're expecting to be
Speaker 1: a run stuffing type of guy. And then Dante Vius Russell,
Speaker 1: who they kept last year, uh nose tackle, undrafted guy
Speaker 1: or seventh round pick, he was anyways, a late type
Speaker 1: of prospect. I mean, he's another guy that was expected
Speaker 1: to possibly help. Now what can Karnweed and Carl Davidson
Speaker 1: Josh Morrow do well. I mean, here's the reality they were.
Speaker 1: They were on the street for a reason, and if
Speaker 1: they were considered to be A plus players, they would
Speaker 1: have had a contract. There's only a few of those
Speaker 1: guys that are out there that you can say they're
Speaker 1: unsigned and they're still an A plus type of player,
Speaker 1: and one of those being Clowning. And I think Clowney
Speaker 1: is a wonderful talent. I think any football team can
Speaker 1: be better against the runner, better defensively overall. But Jadavian
Speaker 1: Clowney on their football team. So, uh, take a flyer
Speaker 1: on him, maybe have a conversation about him. How expensive
Speaker 1: will never huh? How expensive would that be? Lugs? That's
Speaker 1: the question. That's it's it's gonna be pretty expensive, you know.
Speaker 1: And and here's the other thing. Doesn't even want to
Speaker 1: come to play for your football team, you know? Uh,
Speaker 1: Clowney is you know, That's that's the beauty of being
Speaker 1: a free age in you know, you can you can
Speaker 1: make that decision based on money. You can make that
Speaker 1: decision based on personal preference. And look, you may not
Speaker 1: like the team's colors and say, you know what, I
Speaker 1: don't want to play for that team because I don't
Speaker 1: like teal or he may say you know what, I
Speaker 1: love till I look good in till I want to
Speaker 1: play for the Jaguars. You don't know. But but my
Speaker 1: point is that it's there's very few people that you
Speaker 1: can sign at this stage of the game that you
Speaker 1: upgrade your roster. There's just they're just not many. I
Speaker 1: thought the Dallas Cowboys did a pretty good job. They
Speaker 1: signed Griffin Everything. Griffin, the defensive vent who played for
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. Still a productive player, still was close
Speaker 1: to double digit sacks last year, has been a Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl type player and has passed, and they got him
Speaker 1: for a reasonable deal. Now, Clowney is you know it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit, a little bit more than
Speaker 1: than that reasonable type of deal that Griffin got. You know,
Speaker 1: most players, I would think their favorite color is money green.
Speaker 1: And first of all, um, and then second, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm on the practice field yesterday, first day out, first
Speaker 1: day in helmets. Uh, you know, the pr staff, everybody's
Speaker 1: doing a great job keeping everybody distance, getting us in
Speaker 1: there to begin with. But I'm looking at the roster
Speaker 1: right we're talking about the defensive line, and they're frouteen
Speaker 1: defensive linemen listed on the roster, and look up fourteen
Speaker 1: listed as defensive lineman. Right, So I look up at
Speaker 1: defensive line drills and I see seven bodies. I'm like,
Speaker 1: where the heck of the other guys? Well, one of them,
Speaker 1: I think Cassius Marsh was running around with the linebackers.
Speaker 1: That happens occasionally, you know, Um, let me to stop
Speaker 1: you right there. Cassius Marsh is not a defensive lineman.
Speaker 1: You know. He may put his hand in the ground
Speaker 1: as a substitutional pass rusher, but he is not a
Speaker 1: defensive n I mean, he could in a in a pinch,
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh my god, we only had seven
Speaker 1: guys active on game day, and we need Cassius Marsh
Speaker 1: to end up being maybe an extra defensive end if
Speaker 1: need be an emergency situation. He could be that guy.
Speaker 1: But he's not a defensive end. He's a he's a backer.
Speaker 1: He's a stand up guy. It's interesting, though, that kind
Speaker 1: of tells you that the lay of the land yesterday
Speaker 1: when you had three guys who had just signed but
Speaker 1: they couldn't go to the practice field yet because they're
Speaker 1: still doing COVID testing, You had other guys injured, I mean,
Speaker 1: was that's the way it was at least the first
Speaker 1: day out. But it's kind of end a little bit now,
Speaker 1: and I think that that brings up, you know, another
Speaker 1: point that I think that the league, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: needs to take a pretty serious look at. And Okay,
Speaker 1: so let's say the Jaguars have a rash of injuries
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season, or you have a
Speaker 1: room that becomes infected. Right so, uh, let's say five
Speaker 1: guys are unavailable or an offensive line group is unavailable. Well,
Speaker 1: you've upgraded the practice squad to sixteen, And in my opinion,
Speaker 1: why not bigger than that? I mean, I mean, here
Speaker 1: we are. We've we've been talking about how it's gonna
Speaker 1: be tough for a lot of younger players to be
Speaker 1: able to make an NFL roster this year, and you're
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to see them for a lot
Speaker 1: of time in training camp. Well, okay, if we're trying
Speaker 1: to develop guys to be able to be future players
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, let's continue to develop them.
Speaker 1: And let's also give ourselves a little extra insurance policy
Speaker 1: because you know what, if all of a sudden you
Speaker 1: can't fulfill a deficiency in the middle of the season
Speaker 1: by just with guys off of your practice squad. What
Speaker 1: are you gonna do. Well, you can't go and bring
Speaker 1: a guy off the street and have him playing in
Speaker 1: two days, because he's gonna have to go through the
Speaker 1: COVID testing to be able to be ready to go
Speaker 1: for a game. So in my and look and practice
Speaker 1: squad guys. And look, I'm not saying in at the NFL,
Speaker 1: H can just spend roodles of money, but I think
Speaker 1: they can afford to pay maybe a few more extra
Speaker 1: practice squad guys. And I guarantee if you went to
Speaker 1: the coaching staff of every NFL team, not one of
Speaker 1: them would be against would be against having twenty let's say,
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. Why not? Yeah, I bet not.
Speaker 1: It's up to sixteen now, and let's come back in
Speaker 1: a moment um. We'll continue this conversation. Logs Tony BASSELLI.

Speaker 1: media earlier this week and welcome back Jaguars Happy ur
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick from the home studio, Jeff Lockman from
Speaker 1: his home studio and in parts unknown Speaking about tackles,
Speaker 1: Tony but Selly joins us. First of all, let me
Speaker 1: say something, Japan. You can't read, So what are you
Speaker 1: all those books behind you for? Well to read? No,
Speaker 1: you don't read, though I can read, but you don't
Speaker 1: I can read. Okay, Well, this isn't going anywhere. I
Speaker 1: just I think it's funny that everybody in today's world
Speaker 1: that is doing these like home podcasts or like virtual
Speaker 1: shows like we are because of coronavirus. I love like
Speaker 1: looking at the set us behind them because they have
Speaker 1: like these books and all these fancy things. I'm like,
Speaker 1: come on, you know they had their wives. Like I
Speaker 1: guarantee you, Jeff and Tera come in and set up
Speaker 1: the back office so it looks like he's like really
Speaker 1: like sophisticated, his leather chair with pictures and like he
Speaker 1: has his he has his Virginia diploma up. They need
Speaker 1: to pull out of the attic and dust off and
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so like this is my office. I
Speaker 1: don't I didn't have any setting this up. The only
Speaker 1: the only thing I did put in my office that's
Speaker 1: different than what I would normally have the helmets right
Speaker 1: in the middle of the day. Everything everything else is
Speaker 1: what it is. Well, I believe that because Jeff's pretty
Speaker 1: organized in pretty detail anyways, But like JP, I guarantee
Speaker 1: you he went out and bought a bunch of books
Speaker 1: off Amazon to put in his bookshelf, so he looks
Speaker 1: like he's smart. I've had them. I haven't opened them
Speaker 1: in years, but they've been around in boxes, they're around,
Speaker 1: and now I can put them to use so let's
Speaker 1: move forward here. Let's move forward here. We heard from
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson there at the top, Tony, Let's get right
Speaker 1: to it. Man. It's uh Cam Robinson coming off the
Speaker 1: knee last year. You heard him say it was it's
Speaker 1: night and day this year to last year, it wasn't
Speaker 1: even cleared yet at this time a season ago, and
Speaker 1: he said that he really didn't feel normal until like
Speaker 1: the last five games of the season. Um, but that's
Speaker 1: kind of what I think we were talking about all
Speaker 1: year with Cam Robinson. What can you expect now from Cam?
Speaker 1: And then we'll get to Will Richardson in just a moment.
Speaker 1: What did you make of Cam's comments there? Yeah, let
Speaker 1: me let me just start pretty preface, like there's like
Speaker 1: a doubt there's very many people in this organization or
Speaker 1: this team or the city that are rooting harder than
Speaker 1: I am for Cam Robinson because I really like Cam.
Speaker 1: I think he's a big, physical guy, that man. He
Speaker 1: brings its nast dat of meanness to that group that
Speaker 1: they need um and I love that he feels better
Speaker 1: for me though, it's gonna be like the proof is
Speaker 1: gonna be in the pudding when we're gonna watch tape
Speaker 1: and we'll watch practice and everything else. Then we get
Speaker 1: into the games. Does he revert to his bad habits?
Speaker 1: Does he revert to his poor footwork? Because this was
Speaker 1: not a knee issue. This was pre knee. He had
Speaker 1: some footwork issues. Now he's such a big, powerful athletic
Speaker 1: man he can get away with it. And now it
Speaker 1: was exasperated last year because of the no doubt about it,
Speaker 1: and I get know what he was experiencing. I've been
Speaker 1: through it and it takes time, and jeffs as well.
Speaker 1: It takes you time to get back to feeling like
Speaker 1: two year old self. But I still go back to
Speaker 1: For me, I'm watching his feet and I'm watching this
Speaker 1: technique because in my opinion, Jeff, this was a pre
Speaker 1: knee issue. Um that I hope he cleans it up
Speaker 1: for a lot of reasons. One, I love to have
Speaker 1: a left tackle, franchise left tackle, and I think Camber
Speaker 1: obviously gonna be that. And then for him individually, big
Speaker 1: year because he's gonna be a free jent and if
Speaker 1: he does figure it out, go look at LARRMYE. Tuncil's
Speaker 1: contract of twenty two million bucks a year. He's gonna
Speaker 1: get paid and I'm always for guys getting paid. Well,
Speaker 1: he's not gonna approach that category just because Larry Mee
Speaker 1: Tuncil has been able to do it, you know, year
Speaker 1: after year after year. But I mean Cam has an
Speaker 1: opportunity to be able to to take care of himself significantly.
Speaker 1: And and Tony right, and that the feet issue or
Speaker 1: if the feat issues that he's had didn't just show
Speaker 1: up because of the knee injury he had him before,
Speaker 1: they were probably exacerbated a little bit last year because
Speaker 1: of the knee injury. And it's kind of sometimes hard.
Speaker 1: I've been there, Tony, You've been there. It's hard to
Speaker 1: work on technique when you're just trying to find a
Speaker 1: way to get through the practice, you know. So, and
Speaker 1: he's got a good offensive line coach and coach Warhop.
Speaker 1: If there's anybody that's gonna be able to coach the
Speaker 1: technique in the in the Cam, it's gonna be coach Warhop.
Speaker 1: So and I'm with Tony. I hope that he is
Speaker 1: able to find the groove. I'm hope he's able to
Speaker 1: improve because I love him, and what I love about
Speaker 1: him is he is a dominant run blocker at times,
Speaker 1: and there's not many left tackles that are playing at
Speaker 1: the NFL level right now that you sit there and
Speaker 1: you go, dang, that guy can run block and look
Speaker 1: at him finish five, you know, five yards down the
Speaker 1: field on a guy. But Cam is one of those guys. Now, Look,
Speaker 1: will had did an impressive job when he was in there,
Speaker 1: and I think this is a great situation that. Look,
Speaker 1: competition is a beautiful thing, and it will make both
Speaker 1: guys better by having them compete against each other for
Speaker 1: that playing time. So let's see it. Let's see the
Speaker 1: cop Petitian. Let it begin. Yeah, let mean and I'll
Speaker 1: say this, let's pick up on that thread, Jeff Um.
Speaker 1: I never understood last year why they didn't give Will
Speaker 1: rich is In the chance to compete for the job
Speaker 1: throughout the year when when Cam was obviously not obviously
Speaker 1: was struggling at times Um with technique and his knee
Speaker 1: and his strength and everything else. And I I was
Speaker 1: thoroughly impressed for a guy who was asked about two
Speaker 1: days before opening day to go kick out the left
Speaker 1: tackle position you never played before. And I thought he
Speaker 1: played in the two games, the two games that he played,
Speaker 1: I thought he was good. I thought he saw it. Now,
Speaker 1: everyone go back to it. He got beat for a
Speaker 1: sack and in two games he gave up like three
Speaker 1: pressures in a sack. Okay, great, that happens you're playing
Speaker 1: from behind. I mean, all kinds of things happened. And
Speaker 1: you know that as well as I do, Jeff. But
Speaker 1: if you watch him on tape and you watch his
Speaker 1: technique like he's not a guard, Let's be clear. I
Speaker 1: don't think he's a guard. He is a He can
Speaker 1: play you in a tackle position. And I'm I for
Speaker 1: one thought he'd get a shot out last year to
Speaker 1: kick out the left tackle and compete with Cam. And
Speaker 1: I'm glad they're giving him the chance now, and I
Speaker 1: do think it'll make Cam better. Tony. What did he
Speaker 1: play in college? Though? Right tackle? You're around him a bit.
Speaker 1: He was a right tackle in college, pretty much dominant right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's all you ever sold? Did he? So I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1: I know what NC state. He never took a snap
Speaker 1: at left tackle. I think it was all the way
Speaker 1: back to high school. He never been a left hander.
Speaker 1: Stands um. I mean he was a he was a
Speaker 1: right tackle. Only they drafted him. They thought he could
Speaker 1: play some guard Um, I don't think he's a natural guard.
Speaker 1: He's pretty long, and I think the suddenness sometimes gets
Speaker 1: on top of him a little bit quick in the
Speaker 1: past game. I think he can run block as a guard. UM.
Speaker 1: I think he's better at space, which would lean him
Speaker 1: towards the tackle position. And um, I was shocked, for
Speaker 1: one that he was as effective as he was uh
Speaker 1: in that opening game last year and even the first
Speaker 1: two games at left tackle, for having never done it
Speaker 1: and uh and with rise he didn't get more reps
Speaker 1: at it when Cam was obviously struggling because coming back
Speaker 1: in the knee. Yeah, let me just add this too, though,
Speaker 1: I think from a from a coaching standpoint there, there's
Speaker 1: probably got to be a lot of comfort knowing that
Speaker 1: you know when you go into a game. Okay, Cam
Speaker 1: Robinson has been a left tackle his entire life and
Speaker 1: that's all he's ever played. Well, now that we've got
Speaker 1: Will Richardson who he can play right tackle. He didn't college.
Speaker 1: He's proven to us that he's played left tackle, he
Speaker 1: competed for time at the right guard spot and can
Speaker 1: play guard. So I think from a comfort standpoint in
Speaker 1: the reality is, if you're in coaching you want to
Speaker 1: be comfortable going into a game day and you feel
Speaker 1: really comfortable having Will Richardson as being your six guy
Speaker 1: or seventh guy if you got somebody else who's a
Speaker 1: backup center, but you feel really good about him having
Speaker 1: that flexibility to play multiple positions. Whereas, Okay, if all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Will is your left tackle, he's got
Speaker 1: to be significantly better than Cam Robinson because you need
Speaker 1: to have a reason to take Cam Robins said, Okay,
Speaker 1: now we need to train him to be able to
Speaker 1: be maybe that swing guy, and that's a lot to ask.
Speaker 1: So I think if this is a competition, then Will
Speaker 1: has to be significantly better, not just that much better,
Speaker 1: but that much better than Cam to be able to
Speaker 1: take him out of that swing role and insert him
Speaker 1: in as a starter. Let's come back. One final segment

Speaker 1: wanted to get that out there. You know, I'm not
Speaker 1: in a joke, but when it comes to football and winning,
Speaker 1: I'm all in for that. Leonard Fournette is not a jerk,
Speaker 1: he says Jaguar's Happy Hour, J P. Shadrick, Jeff Logaman,
Speaker 1: Tony BASSELLI. I'm curious to see Leonard play this year.
Speaker 1: Obviously had a good year last year statistically. Um gotta
Speaker 1: get in the end zone. A little bit more. But
Speaker 1: it's a contract year and Tony, you know what that means. Um,
Speaker 1: if there isn't motivation before, which there always has been,
Speaker 1: there certainly is now for Leonard. You know, what was
Speaker 1: the context of him not being the jerk? I didn't
Speaker 1: What was the question did you do something? Made something?
Speaker 1: I think that in the off season off season, there
Speaker 1: were some comments that maybe he was unhappy around here,
Speaker 1: and there was they were talking about trading him away.
Speaker 1: That was the storyline a little bit in the offseason,
Speaker 1: and he was a little disruntled at times and he
Speaker 1: wanted to explain himself a little bit there. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: didn't understand that part. But okay, um, yeah, I mean, uh,
Speaker 1: it's a big air for him. I don't see him.
Speaker 1: I mean outside of something crazy happening like where he
Speaker 1: just goes crazy numbers, I don't see him. I think
Speaker 1: this is his last year as a Jacksonville Jaguar. Um.
Speaker 1: They didn't they didn't take the extra year, they didn't
Speaker 1: extended the fifth year. Uh. And it'll be interesting to
Speaker 1: see Jagrud's offense, you know, will he be the center
Speaker 1: point where last year I mean they gave him the
Speaker 1: ball and with the ricky quarterback. I mean he was
Speaker 1: like everything, run game, pass game, you know, never came
Speaker 1: off the field unless he was hurt, like the last
Speaker 1: game when he couldn't play. So, um, it'll be interesting.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's gonna be an important piece. This is
Speaker 1: a team at is pretty young. They're best players are
Speaker 1: you know, I mean as far as the guys who
Speaker 1: are explosive are outside. Um, d J. Chark had a
Speaker 1: great year. Uh so no the rookie I mean, big, powerful,
Speaker 1: fast guy that they're going to count on. Um, So
Speaker 1: you have some really young guys, you know, big questions
Speaker 1: at the tight end with Tyler Eiffert, Um can he
Speaker 1: have you know, he's been injury riddled throughout the last
Speaker 1: several years of his career. And I say all that
Speaker 1: because so it circles me back to Leonard four Nette.
Speaker 1: I mean he has to have a big year for
Speaker 1: this team to be successful and to score points. I
Speaker 1: mean him obviously not most important. It's Carter Minshew, but
Speaker 1: he's pretty close up there because they're gonna need to
Speaker 1: find production, uh to score points in offense. Well, he's
Speaker 1: been one of the most consistent producers for this offense
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years is from from a
Speaker 1: production and touches standpoint and he needs to be exactly that,
Speaker 1: especially this year for a couple of different reasons. Some
Speaker 1: of them RESI on his side of the ball, I
Speaker 1: mean partner Minshew being a first time starting quarterback, you've
Speaker 1: got a wide receiver group besides d J. Chart. I mean,
Speaker 1: and he did it for one year, one year only
Speaker 1: it's very unproven. You have a tight end group that
Speaker 1: I will say this. I don't care if Tyler Eiffer
Speaker 1: was a veteran guy or not. He's unproven too because
Speaker 1: it hadn't proven injurious yeah that he hasn't can't stay
Speaker 1: on the field. He did it for one year last year.
Speaker 1: And I think the one thing of note watching his film,
Speaker 1: Tyler Eiffert's film, is that once he got the ball,
Speaker 1: he didn't do a whole lot of exciting things with
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands. It was like he was
Speaker 1: in self preservation mode a little bit, looking to make
Speaker 1: sure that he didn't take any tough hits. So okay,
Speaker 1: so where are you going to get that electrics, you know,
Speaker 1: consistent performance from while I think Leonard Fordette has to
Speaker 1: be one of those guys. The offensive line has to
Speaker 1: be one of the guys because it also reaches to
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball, and that the Jaguars
Speaker 1: defense is construction in time of possession and controlling the
Speaker 1: clock and keeping the defense off the field is going
Speaker 1: to be I think very important for this Jaguars defense
Speaker 1: until it confined a little bit of rhythm. I mean, here,
Speaker 1: here's the crazy thing. A couple of years ago, we
Speaker 1: were talking about one of the best defenses in the league.
Speaker 1: Is this the best defense in the league? And now
Speaker 1: we're talking about the importance of an offensive line and
Speaker 1: a running game to help maybe lessen the burden on
Speaker 1: this defense. But I mean, how things have changed for
Speaker 1: this Jaguars football team and a couple of years to
Speaker 1: go from that, you know, the elite of elite defenses
Speaker 1: in the National Football League to now having a lot
Speaker 1: of question marks across the board on the defensive side
Speaker 1: of the ball. Jeff, what's your biggest question? I mean,
Speaker 1: just and I know where you want to go with this, JP,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna just steer it myself. What is your
Speaker 1: biggest question? Because I think you bring up a great point.
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at both sides of the ball.
Speaker 1: Um a lot of questions in offense, and we always
Speaker 1: kind of just said, yeah, but the defense is good. Well,
Speaker 1: there might be more questions on defense than there are
Speaker 1: on offensive. Oh, there absolutely, as I think, and as
Speaker 1: you look at that, what's your biggest what is your
Speaker 1: biggest question or concern on defense? I'll start with what
Speaker 1: what is the most important aspect of being a good
Speaker 1: defense the National Football League? And it's got to start
Speaker 1: with stopping to run? And we saw Tony you saw
Speaker 1: it last year. They had trouble stopping a run and
Speaker 1: stopping the run. You gotta be good in the middle.
Speaker 1: And when I say the middle, nose tackle, three technique
Speaker 1: inside linebackers because there's two and then safety. Um, are
Speaker 1: they strong at at that middle area on the defense? Well,
Speaker 1: you had one of your guys out woods opt out
Speaker 1: gunners on non football illness. He's out. Joe Schoberg. I
Speaker 1: think has a lot to prove. Yet, even though he
Speaker 1: was an expensive free agent, mile Jack hasn't played will
Speaker 1: before consistently. So how will he look because last year
Speaker 1: when he played, Mike didn't have a great year. Were
Speaker 1: the performance of the safe he's consistent at all? Last
Speaker 1: year no, you know, so you have some mistacker on
Speaker 1: Harrison exactly didn't have you know, the best performance of
Speaker 1: his career last year. So uh, that's a major concern
Speaker 1: of mine is that this Jaguars defense went from Ben
Speaker 1: I mean, holy cow, you had Darius and the league
Speaker 1: and Calais and in pause going back a couple of
Speaker 1: years with Miles Jack and Telvin and uh, consistency at
Speaker 1: safety with two veteran guys, and now all of a
Speaker 1: sudden a couple of years, it's all changed, which you know,
Speaker 1: the league is about changing. It always happened, but that's
Speaker 1: a lot of change in the short amount of time.
Speaker 1: Interesting all the things you just said, Jeff, I agree,
Speaker 1: and you know one of the big stories this offseason.
Speaker 1: Even the campus youn Goquay and Gockway doesn't fix any
Speaker 1: of those problems you just talked about. No, No, he
Speaker 1: does not, none of them. It's still a good pass rusher.
Speaker 1: Trust you want him on your team, but you want
Speaker 1: to be can't but you want him out there. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, what's so interesting one of the guys that
Speaker 1: so much discussion has been around, and don get him
Speaker 1: and can we get him back? And what are we
Speaker 1: gonna do with them, and he's like all the things
Speaker 1: you just said, has almost zero impact on um because
Speaker 1: I mean, at his best he said above average running player,
Speaker 1: but he plays outside and he's you know outside in Yeah,
Speaker 1: when you say when you say at his best, he
Speaker 1: has moments where he's an above average that's what I said. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he's a pure pass rusher. He's a disruptor
Speaker 1: from the edge. Um. But if you look at you,
Speaker 1: he really because of what you said, his impact even
Speaker 1: goes down when you think about it, because you can run,
Speaker 1: you know what else you can't do. You can't get
Speaker 1: teams in the third and long and passing only situations,
Speaker 1: and so that is it's such a I mean, I
Speaker 1: couldn't agree more. I think you know one of the
Speaker 1: things and done talking about it at the beginning. It
Speaker 1: can't be brought up to the Pavin Bryant and you
Speaker 1: and I have talked abo taming a lot. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be the three technique. He's gonna have to become a
Speaker 1: productive player on this team if they want to be
Speaker 1: able to stop the run um or have a chance
Speaker 1: to stop to run. And I mean that's just one
Speaker 1: Showberg agreed, he's gonna If you look at Cleveland, what
Speaker 1: was he known for. He was more known for his
Speaker 1: pass coverage and a good pass defender. Um, he's got
Speaker 1: to become a middle linebacker run stuff and guy Miles
Speaker 1: Jack and all the way down to the safeties. UM.
Speaker 1: And I bring that up because everyone talks about Josh
Speaker 1: Allen and if you get your unique back and uh
Speaker 1: chase on who you drafted in the first round out
Speaker 1: of L s U. All these guys are explosive, splash
Speaker 1: players that can really get after the quarterback and physical
Speaker 1: and run around and make plays you can't stop to run. Well,
Speaker 1: you really nify the impact those type of players can
Speaker 1: have on your football team. All right, guys, let's go
Speaker 1: around the National Football League at some headlines before we
Speaker 1: get out of here. And we start with the league
Speaker 1: and the nfl p A agreeing to extend daily of
Speaker 1: A nineteen testing through September five Tier one and two
Speaker 1: positive tests below one percent so far since a arrival,
Speaker 1: and no individual club rate is greater than two percent.
Speaker 1: So Tony, so far, so good. J Let me let
Speaker 1: me jump in right there real quick because I held
Speaker 1: my nose, Tony, because you probably went through this process.
Speaker 1: You're talking about daily COVID testing For the people that
Speaker 1: aren't familiar with this, the nasal swab technique, Jeff, I
Speaker 1: have not, but I've got some friends that have had
Speaker 1: to go through it, and they said it's it's absolutely horrendous. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I call it the brain tickler because they don't just
Speaker 1: do your nose and all the way to the brain
Speaker 1: and you know, picking your brain. But I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: that if I'm not mistaken, the test that the players
Speaker 1: are doing the NFL is not the nasal swap that
Speaker 1: goes all the way back. It's more of a just
Speaker 1: internal It's maybe advanced technology. That's what someone told me.
Speaker 1: I know, if it's accurate, if God bless him, if
Speaker 1: they have to do the brain tickler every day, I
Speaker 1: do it seven times. It's like it's brutal um and
Speaker 1: so uh yeah, it's uh, you know, it's goods. I
Speaker 1: was one. I've had it. My family's had it. I
Speaker 1: said this the other day about for State football, my
Speaker 1: kids playing there. I think they should play football. I
Speaker 1: think I think I was disappointed the Big ten in
Speaker 1: the Pact twelve what they did. Um, if you look
Speaker 1: at the numbers the risk factors of the age group
Speaker 1: of these men who are playing football, whether it's in
Speaker 1: college or professional football, for the most part, very very
Speaker 1: low risk. I'm not saying it's zero risk, but it's
Speaker 1: low risk. And I know this. If I was a
Speaker 1: player on the things, I'd be worried about. As far
Speaker 1: as happening to be on the football field, COVID would
Speaker 1: not be at the top of it. Now. The key is,
Speaker 1: with all of this being uh, all that being said,
Speaker 1: it's not around the facility I worry about. It's not
Speaker 1: on the field. I worry about it, says these guys
Speaker 1: get out of camp and get into the daily life
Speaker 1: of being just a person. Um you are. They have
Speaker 1: to discipline not to go out and do things they
Speaker 1: shouldn't be and be around people they shouldn't be around.
Speaker 1: As far as go home, you know, be smart, beaut
Speaker 1: your family, like, try to isolate yourself as much as possible.
Speaker 1: We just saw a rookie I don't know the kid's
Speaker 1: name up in Seattle got cut today because in camp
Speaker 1: he tried to sneak a uh female friend into the
Speaker 1: facility um when he wasn't supposed to, broking breaking all
Speaker 1: testing protocols. And everything else, and so that's what you
Speaker 1: worry about. Like, these are young guys, and we forget
Speaker 1: that sometimes, Like you have some older veterans. Actually I
Speaker 1: should say that the Jaguars don't, but other teams of
Speaker 1: older veterans. Um. But these are young guys. And the
Speaker 1: key is for this thing to work and for us
Speaker 1: to get through this without um significant positive tests is
Speaker 1: what they do outside of the facility. I think that's
Speaker 1: really important, um, for these guys to be thinking about.
Speaker 1: All right, good stuff. Some other notes to say. George
Speaker 1: Kittle agrees to a five year, seventy five million dollar
Speaker 1: extension with San Francisco. Everson Griffin gets a one year
Speaker 1: deal worth up to six million dollars with the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: and the ratings down for Hard Knocks in the first
Speaker 1: episode this week drew only two seventy thousand viewers, as
Speaker 1: opposed to over seven hundred thousand a year ago. Tony,
Speaker 1: good stuff. We'll talk to you again next week next
Speaker 1: talk to your Monday. The show kicks off Monday, JP.
