Each and every week. 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:48.080 Offensive coordinator Press Taylor joins us in studio about four fifteen. 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:50.640 We'll hear from the new O C for the Jags, 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.480 his first coordinator role in the NFL and his first 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:58.040 week talking actual xs and ohs with the quarterback and 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:02.280 the offense. We're two weeks until the NFL Draft. Prospect 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:06.479 visits continue, the medical checks, everything going on, and we'll 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:10.080 go around the National Football League more quarterback news as 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.919 usually is the case. Jeff Lockman with us. Now, Hi, Jeff, 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.559 what's up? Hi? JP? Can you imagine being a young 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:22.080 Jaguars offensive coordinator like Press Taylor and to have a 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:27.360 star studded offensive cast of coaches. I mean, that's think 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.360 about that. That's kind of intimidating. You know, Doug Peterson, 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:32.360 who he worked with for a long time in Philly. 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:34.760 Mike McCoy was a head coach in the NFL, has 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.399 been around the game forever. Jim Bob Cooter christ name coordinator, 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.480 greatest name in the NFL. He's been around for a 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.800 while now. I mean, and then you've got the number 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:46.040 one picked from last year at the quarterback position. There's 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:47.800 a lot of input going in, I think to the 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.880 offensive staff. I don't think he's gonna be shy of 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.480 of opinions, but but I think it's a challenge to 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:55.600 when you're a young guy to step in a role 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.080 of being an offensive coordinator with a staff like that, 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.960 to you, you you better have you better have reasons, 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:06.160 and you better substantiate your opinions, because if your reasons 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:10.480 or your information is flawed, you're gonna get called to 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.519 the table with that group of on the offensive staff. 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:16.160 But I mean, I I can tell you this. I 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.639 mean as far as if you're a team guy, that's 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.399 what you want. I mean, you want to have as 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.160 star studded as an offensive cast as you can get 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.760 because a lot of times some of the and you 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.760 go back to the Baltimore Ravens when they were in 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:36.040 their heyday under Brian Billock, that was a staff that 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.320 had a lot of strong personalities on defense. A lot 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.560 of head coaches came from that staff, and when you 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:45.679 talk to those coaches, they will tell you about many 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:50.960 spirited discussions that they had in staff meetings, and spirited 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.919 discussions that sometimes ended up coming down to a little 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.680 bit of this, which I'm holding my knuckles up. I 0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:59.959 was told. So I don't think it's gonna get to 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.880 that here in Jacksonville with the offensive staff, but you know, hey, look, 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.480 spirited conversation and discussion sometimes end up having some of 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.519 your best ideas come to fruition. Well here from Press 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.359 Taylor coming up in about fifteen minutes or so here 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:16.280 on Jaguar's Happy Hour, the Jaguars offensive coordinator, well, he 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.360 does have his left tackle in place. Cam Robinson this 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:23.760 week signed the franchise tender sixteen point six million guaranteed 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.919 dollars this year, and they have until July fifteenth to 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:28.959 work on a long term deal. If they don't get 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.000 to that long term deal. Well, he'll pay play for 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.960 sixteen point six million dollars this year. Drinks are on Camp. Well, 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:40.640 it's you want him to buy for you. That's okay. Uh, 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:45.720 sixteen million is now guaranteed because the franchise tag has 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.760 been signed. If and I think that's the right thing 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.120 to do from a players standpoint, Why would you not, 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.680 because if you don't sign the franchise tag, that tag 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.760 can be removed and then you're put back out in 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.720 the marketplace. And by the way, there's a lot of 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.720 team that have spent their money already. So what would 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.480 the market be. I don't know. But a smart thing 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.320 to do by Cam because now in the meantime, now 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.280 you can work on a long term option with the 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.960 football team if that is in fact the wishes of 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.960 both the team and Cam and to see if something 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.640 can get done for a long term type of situation 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:23.400 because and but I think it makes it challenging in 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.560 this type of situation to work on a long term 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:30.440 deal because think about a JP. You had the franchise 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.880 tag last year that Camp signed. Okay, so now it's 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.960 gonna be he's got a franchise tag now, so if 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:40.240 they want to keep him under contract for next year, 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.640 so now you have another the other the the what 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:48.479 is another increase because there's last year to this year, 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.680 so it was thirteen last year. The actual number for 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.920 a franchise tag tackle anyway, this year was about sixteen, 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.720 but it's increase from last year, which is also right 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.599 around sixteen exactly. So it's gonna there's gonna be another 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:04.400 increase for next year. Okay. So my point is is 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.919 that if you're trying to negotiate a long term contract, 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.719 if you're an agent, the starting point in negotiations for 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:15.920 guaranteed money is the guaranteed money for franchise tag this 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:20.279 year plus the guaranteed franchise tag for next year. You 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:25.320 see what I'm saying. So you basically take sixteen plus increase. 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:28.400 You're looking on another let's just say eighteen for around purposes. 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.560 Let's say it's eighteen and I and it might might 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.080 even be more than that, but I think it's somewhere 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.200 in that range. But the rules change after a certain 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.480 number of years of being tagged. But so now you 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.360 add eighteen and sixteen. So essentially the contract the starting 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.440 point is thirty four million guaranteed right out of the 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.320 gate before you even and that's in the first two 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.960 years guarantee. So uh so that makes it a little 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.719 bit challenging, I think for some guys that have received 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:55.280 the franchise tag for more than just one year, because 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.240 now all of a sudden, this this conversation is kicking 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.400 into play different position. I get it. But I remember 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:05.240 quarterback Kirk Cousins with Washington. He had two different franchise 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.960 tag season sixteen and seventeen, and then went to free 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.480 agency at eighteen and signed a fully guaranteed, three year, 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.640 eighty four million dollar deal. Yeah, I think that's the 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.440 business of football. He's winning. And I think the reason 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.560 why because I think in the in year three of 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:24.279 your franchise tag, there's a big jump it's like increase 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.200 or something of that nature instead of so it makes 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.920 it very very prohibitive. So and and I think that's 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.560 the case. So with Cam then, and when I was 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:35.680 talking about, Okay, thirty four million is your story at 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.159 starting point, it's actually more than that in that in 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.800 that situation, I think with the third consecutive tag, So 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:45.720 congratulations to Cam Robinson. Yeah, no, it's great. I mean, look, 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:49.400 uh he deserves it. He's a he's a good football player, 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:53.080 and he I think is the best part about Cam 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.600 is I think was what Trent Balky talked about back 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.400 when Trent Balky and and Doug Peterson had this informal 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.440 little sit down with the media and Trent shared some 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.599 of the stories about Cam, saying, hey, look, here's a 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:08.480 guy that's always available because of availability always supersedes talent 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.600 and ability always. And with Cam, he's a guy who 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:16.360 loves ball. He's competitive, he finishes um, he does all 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.120 the things that you want to have a good football 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.880 player do. Now, can he be better footwork wise and 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:25.240 some of the some of the basics of playing left tackle. 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.080 When I say basics, some of the basic footwork things, yes, 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:29.960 he can get better at that, but we all everybody 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.520 can get better even at your five or six or 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:36.360 seven wherever that as a pro. The off season program 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.400 is upon us now. It started on Monday strength and 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:44.160 conditioning meetings. It's all very very voluntary, but important to 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:46.960 get some things established with a new coaching staff, new 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:51.120 new terminology, and get the ball rolling on. Just starting 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.480 the organization a new from the beginning. Trevor Lawrence spoke 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.800 this week as well about working with the receivers and 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.600 getting things started with a new coaching staff. We started 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.840 throwing a little bit altogether this first time we can 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.400 use the facility, so um offseason. Obviously, most of those 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.240 guys that are new didn't get here until right before 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.120 we start O t A, so they're trying to you know, 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.440 find places all that, so I didn't get to work 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.600 with them much of this off season. So now we 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:17.320 got a lot of time. You know, we have two 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.640 weeks of just throwing our own and then we'll have 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.640 that period and after those two weeks where we start 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.080 getting out there with some coaches, some routes on air, 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.240 all that stuff, so you've got time to progress into it. 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.240 I feel like we're in a good spot right now. 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.520 It's I think more important just to get everybody speaking 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.320 the same language when we're doing the installs, whatever it is. 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.240 Get everybody on the same page so when we're out 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.160 there and we're all staying the same things. Because if 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.240 you're out there and no one really is on the 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.719 same page and you call routes different things, that makes 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.160 it more difficult. So we're getting there now. We're working 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:50.319 towards it well. As he said, they have some time. 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.960 It is April, they have another week and then they 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:54.600 can get on the field with the coaches and do 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.720 some minor things. But the language thing, I think is 0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:59.600 the big thing. There's a brand new offense. It will 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.960 be his at an offense as a quarterback in the NFL. 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.760 Like we said, all these coaches come from different backgrounds 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:10.520 as well. What concepts are called is a very important baseline. Yeah, 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.360 where they have to all learn to speak the same language, 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.000 and that has to happen as a staff before that 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.080 can be passed on to the players. And then there 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.079 we talked about it last week a little bit with 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:24.760 like Caldwell, the defensive coordinator, about everybody getting on the 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:28.240 same page. And so that's an important part to the 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.160 all season. But you know, I want to say this 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.880 about the off season program. If you're if you're a 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:38.199 player and you're signed under contract by whatever NFL team 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:42.319 and you're not participating in their off season program, you're 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.120 not very smart. And the reason I say that is 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.880 that if you are training on your own and you 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:51.920 sustain some kind of injury, you're on your own. I mean, 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:55.960 so why would you not use the facilities that the 0:09:56.080 --> 0:10:01.640 NFL has every team, And and also the injury protection 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:05.280 that is built in that if you sustain some type 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.400 of injury, you're covered. If it's happening under the umbrella 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.720 of the team, If you're doing it on your own, 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.840 you're on your own. And I just I think it 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:20.000 would be insane if anybody were to not participate in 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:23.320 the club's O t A programs. Also, what Trevor said 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.680 there about a lot of guys getting moved back into town. Look, 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.360 this is an amazing place to live, and a lot 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.960 of these guys are new to the football team, and 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.960 so some of them are trying to find where they're 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.760 gonna live and moving families, etcetera. So I get that 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.040 the guys that are already on the team, they should 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.320 already be here. And uh, and because you want to 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.680 be able to work with your quarterback, Trevor is living here. 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.520 Look if I'm if I'm a receiver, I'm a tight end, 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:53.040 I'm here, man, I'm gonna be here living with my quarterback. 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:57.040 I'm in front of him every single day, if right, 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.080 And I want to want them see my face every day, 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.400 so that you know, you build the camaraderie, you build 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.520 a relationship and you build the trust, and so when 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.959 you catch balls from your quarterback, that's what it's all about. 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:09.920 You want to catch as many balls as you can 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.080 right now so that he has a comfort level with 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.440 you when you get to September. If somebody can't make it, 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.120 you know what, I'm gonna go out there and take 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.480 the fill in. I know that'll be really productive for 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:23.319 the quarterback. If our two run rounds you yeah, JP, 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:27.640 you not not quite un Yeah, I don't think that's 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.439 a hard No. The only thing thing that would help 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.040 the quarterback is that if you know, one of the 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.400 big offensive linemen ran around around the goal line. That's 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.280 maybe the only thing that you could simulate. Just trying 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:40.400 to say thank you very much. UM, this is Jaguars 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.520 Happy Hour on tint to Excel and Jaguars dot Com. 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.160 J P Shadrick, Jeff Lockman, Press Taylor coming up in 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.439 just a few minutes at his thoughts in the first 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:51.520 few days talking football with Trevor Lawrence and the offense. Well, 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.480 all this is happening and we're two weeks to the 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:58.920 NFL Draft logs of course, UM, on the final runway 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.480 before the number an overall pick, and the last second 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:07.800 things are likely happening now, last security checks, the medical checks, 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.360 a prospect visit, they're still going on. I think there's 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:13.320 a little more time for that. You know, last year 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.160 Jaguars had the number one pick for the first time 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:20.120 ever and it's quarterback Trevor Lawrence and it was built 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:23.720 for it. Far from an ideal rookie campaign for Trevor, 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.880 but it's equally important this time another number one overall pick. 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.480 You gotta have somebody that can handle it. I think 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.800 when we learned this, not only I think through the 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.880 course of the season with with the boucle of the 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:41.600 Urban Myra regime, that Trevor Lawrence can can handle anything. 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.840 And part of being uh first overall draft pick, Look, 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.720 you always have that attached to you. And also you 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:54.560 have this, uh, this level of expectation that is nobody 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.120 else is going to have anything close to that because 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:58.959 you always and I don't know say it's a stigma, 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.760 but you have. Hey, look is the first overall draft pick. Okay, 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:05.840 true was built to handle it. He handled it like 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.880 a true professional. All the situations that came his way 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.800 in the team's way last year that weren't very favorable 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:17.200 for different reasons. I thought Trevor handled it beautifully, But 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.520 this year, now you're you're looking at the first overall 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:24.560 pick again, and when you evaluate all these prospects that 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.800 are under consideration for the number one overall pick, you 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:32.920 better make sure that you're evaluating the person and can 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.920 they handle the scrutiny that's gonna come with being the 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:41.480 first overall pick, Because if you're gonna pick somebody who's 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.680 just happy to be there and it ain't gonna work. 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:48.840 If you pick somebody that can't withstand some criticism, then 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.720 that's not the person that you want. So I think 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.720 you have to have and do a really mean because 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.160 that's one of the reasons why the NFL has all 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:01.920 these extended opportunities to interview these potential draft picks by 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.839 bringing them in, by spending time with them at the combine, 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:08.760 by vetting them. And that's probably the most important aspect 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:12.400 is JP is not talking to the person directly and 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:17.439 be in a combine setting because that's all scripted. When 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.040 you bring them in, you get a little bit more 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.320 of an opportunity and and and seeing your building. So 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:26.280 there's a lack of comfort on the prospects side. Of 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.240 things to maybe make you get a little bit more 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.840 of a true feel on that person. But also, when 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.200 I talk about the vetting process, you better make sure 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:37.200 that you're talking to a lot of people that have 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.720 been around that prospect for the last number of years. 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:42.200 I mean, if you want to go back to his 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.360 high school time, you should do that, because if you 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.760 don't do that, then you end up having a situation 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.840 to where you have a player which is not the 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.040 kind of player that you want for your program. And 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.760 I'm not gonna name any names that have been here 0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:00.640 in the past, but I'm sure people can figure that out. Yeah, 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.960 I think they can, because I mean there's there's I mean, 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.240 the reality is the Jaguars have picked number one picks 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:09.640 overall in its history. Okay, that the players were not 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:14.440 properly vetted enough first round picks. Yes, let's first pick 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.080 for the franchise. Yes with you. So, I mean that's 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.560 when when you say vetting, you know, and that's the 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.680 term that's uh, it's very uh. I guess you could 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.920 say in a in a proper setting for a lot 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.400 of politicians, you know, you gotta vet a candidate. Okay, Well, look, 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.280 I mean these candidates for your franchise. I mean that's 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.680 no different. I mean, you've got to have people that 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:39.920 have an incredible high character, moral, morals, et cetera. Because 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:43.560 that's what you're building your program around. And you've got 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.200 an opportunity here with a new staff and a new 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:50.040 general manager. Uh that is uh much more in charge 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.200 than I think what he was last year. So look, 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:56.640 do it right, make sure it's right. Today, the Jaguars 0:15:56.640 --> 0:16:01.480 announced the twenty two Duval Draft Party, presented by Baptist Health. 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:05.880 It's Thursday, April six o'clock.

Press Taylor, Jaguars offensive coordinator, joins us 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:50.720 after this. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.000 I really get mean and it's really really cold. I 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:06.320 mean similar honestly to to coach Devil as far as demeanor, 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.320 really calm, never gets too higher, too low. Um. So 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:10.840 I really like that. It's the type of guy I 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.440 could be around. And then as far as just offensively 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.120 brings some different things to the table. Obviously we haven't 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.080 been he got along and only when he started on Monday, 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.680 so I can't say too much right now, but it's 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.720 really like the way he thinks about things and just 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:28.560 how he's offense is so complimentary, um, and just how 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:30.200 he schemes things up. I think it's see does a 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:33.040 really good job of finding the leak points of defensives 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.160 and exposing them, and I just think he's really smart 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.280 and being able to talk to him, I think we 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.439 aligned pretty well and we're what we're on the same day. 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:44.320 That's Trevor Lawrence, of course, Jaguars quarterback. Welcome back. It's 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:47.760 Jaguars Happy Hour on a Thursday afternoon. J P. Chadwick 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:49.560 with you, Jeff log him in back in with us 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.480 here in a few minutes. And that's the quarterback talking 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:56.520 about offensive coordinator Press Taylor who joins us in studio. Now, 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:58.760 it's some some nice words from the QB. What's up? 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.399 Coach paid him to say that? Did you really? The 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:04.960 check cleared? That's good news. So all right, so let's 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:11.119 start with that. The calm demeanor, the poise, the not streaming, 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.960 you're not that's not your style, and that fits right 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:17.920 in apparently with the quarterback. That relationship obviously is key 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.680 for the success around here, right of course. Yeah, it's 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.000 it's all about putting all our guys in the best 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.920 position to succeed. But obviously that starts with the quarterback. 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:27.960 A lot of times, when your quarterbacks playing well, everybody 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.520 around him is playing well. Um, and that that's given 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:32.240 him things that he likes, put in a position where 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:34.800 he understands, and we can come up with all sorts 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:36.760 of football players. But if he don't love it, don't 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:38.520 believe in it, it's probably not gonna work out. So 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:40.680 we want to make sure we're in lockstep with him 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:44.480 as we build this thing. You know, actually for uh 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:47.120 started to talk football this week for the first time. 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:49.920 Maybe you've met him before, but you actually get into 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.320 the xs and ohs this week with the offseason program 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.400 finally there. What's the first thing that stands out about 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:58.040 Trevor when you sit down in a football meeting room 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.560 with him. He's very mature. He ask and a lot 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.440 of times, you know, we haven't had a lot of 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.680 football conversations, but he asked great questions, so that that's 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:07.480 always one of the things that you know he's engaged. 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.719 You know, you can kind of tell by the questions 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.119 that a guy asked of kind of whether he likes it, 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:15.000 where he's tracking, how he sees it, um and he 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:16.840 he and really all the quarterbacks, Jake and c J. 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:19.280 They've done a great job with the questions they asked, 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.160 the response they're given, the engagement they're given. So it's exciting. 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:25.360 You know, there's a lot of offensive minds around here. 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:27.840 Obviously the head coach, you've been with him for a 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.680 long time in Philly, UM Mike McCoy has been in 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.720 the league for a long time as a head coach. 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:36.760 Jim Bob Cooter, the passing game coordinator, crafting all those 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:40.760 ideas and philosophies together as one with the quarterbacks involved, 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:43.760 I'm sure as well. Um, you know you've been in 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:47.920 all those roles though, quality control guy, assistant quarterback coach, 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:50.520 QB coach, pass you've done all these things. How does 0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:54.920 that help you take in information from all different types 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:57.640 of mindsets? Yeah, I mean, I know. I think part 0:19:57.720 --> 0:19:59.959 of it is, like, I know how I liked being 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.000 treated in each of those roles, and and and what 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:03.919 kind of input I could provide and things like that. 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:06.159 So part of it's being clear in your communication with 0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:09.600 what your expectation is for everybody. And and then at 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:12.240 the on top of that, with a lot of you know, 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:14.679 former quarterbacks and guys that have coach quarterbacks, have been 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:17.160 coordinators in this league, a lot of it's everybody putting 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.600 their egos side and realizing we we don't need to 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:21.520 do what we all did in the past. This is 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:24.040 about putting our guys in the best position to create 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:26.560 the Jacksonville offense. And that's what we're trying to do. 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:30.520 Press Taylor with US Jaguars offensive coordinator, you're balancing building 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.960 the scheme. But you know free agency was here still 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:36.760 is it never really ends, the draft is coming up. 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:39.880 You know. That's all after arriving in like early February. 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:41.639 It's not a lot of time to put all this together. 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.360 How do you balance all the time for all three 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:46.760 of those things? That's what I mean. At times it 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.320 feels like it's in season schedule where we're just kind 0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:51.160 of here all day. That's the good and the bad 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.359 of this. This business necessarily is like when you do 0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:55.240 have a sudden move like this, which a lot of us, 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:57.679 we all moved in from other places. Your family's kind 0:20:57.680 --> 0:20:59.919 of left behind. Now the bad part of that, you're 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:01.960 out with your family, which we all enjoy in the offseason. 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:04.080 That's the great part about life in the NFL. But 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:06.359 it gives you the ability. Then you come in early, 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.439 you stay late. We get a chance to kind of 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:10.680 make up that ground with that time where maybe it's 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:13.160 you know, football in the morning, personal in the afternoon, 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:16.040 playing for the next day at night. So that's kind 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:17.960 of been the schedule we've all kind of worked off 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:20.199 since we kind of got here, really kind of hit 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:22.159 the ground running when the players get here. That's the 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:25.440 first thing you notice when you're digging into the Jaguars 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:27.960 tape from a year ago. Obviously, you know, we're in 0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:30.520 the division not looking at the Jags offense as much. 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:32.760 On the other side with Indy last year, when you 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:35.919 first slipped on the Jaguars offense, what stood out? What 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:38.320 did you inherit as an offensive coordinator? Part of it 0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:40.760 on good and bad you get a chance to evaluate 0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:42.080 a lot of guys. But there's a lot of guys 0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:43.280 on the tape. You know, you saw a lot of 0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:45.240 guys that missed time with injuries and things like that 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:47.359 that really affected a lot of things that it hurts 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:49.879 the chemistry of some things as you go, but it 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:52.320 gives guys good experience, gives us a chance to evaluate 0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:54.399 more actual game tape of some of these guys. But 0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:56.359 there's a lot of talent. There's a lot of young talent, 0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:59.640 which is exciting, you know, obviously starting with Trevor Um, 0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:02.080 but the pieces around there is young talent that we're 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:04.879 excited to work with and look forward to press Taylor 0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:08.240 with us. You mentioned the family settled in, everybody around 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:11.040 everybody here, I mean, it's a whirlwind. In a month 0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:13.119 and a half two months time, we're finally settled in. 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:14.960 So we got the keys to our houses, last week 0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:17.520 and finally started moving in. So now it's I work 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:19.200 all day, I go home, and I work all night 0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:21.119 at home trying to get boxes out and do all 0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:23.520 that type stuff. But definitely makes it life a little 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:26.119 bit better when your families around. It never ends, of course, 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:28.119 that the work never ends, that's for sure. This is 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:30.840 Jaguars Happy Hour on tinton X l j P Shadrick 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:34.000 Jeff Lagman back in a moment. Offensive coordinator Press Taylor 0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:37.600 joining us now free agent editions. Let's go through some 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:39.879 of these guys because we've we've talked about them in 0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:42.280 so many different formats here, but it's nice to hear 0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:44.800 it from the guy who's putting the offense together. And 0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:49.800 let's start off with Christian Kirk thirty seven million guaranteed dollars. 0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:53.760 But the versatility, he said it in his opening press conference. Hey, 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:56.679 I'm not just a slot receiver. I'm here to do 0:22:56.720 --> 0:22:58.600 a lot of different things. What can he bring for 0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:00.840 your offense? Yeah, I think that's the biggest thing. It's 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:03.800 the versatility of we can align them all over the formation. 0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:05.399 He can do a number of different things. He can 0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:08.000 win on the outside. He's a great decision maker with 0:23:08.080 --> 0:23:10.520 great speed, which you know, you don't always hear that 0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:13.040 about receivers being great decision makers, but he really is. 0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:15.320 So you can put them in then in positions to 0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:17.040 be able to adjust things and get on the same 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:21.000 page with Trevor Um. You know, probably something I didn't 0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:23.760 know about him was his demeanor. As we've been around 0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:25.800 each other for a week, He's got a great demeanor 0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:28.720 about himself. He again asked great questions similar to the quarterbacks, 0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:30.800 where I think that makes up for a lot of 0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:33.520 the less time on the grass, where they have the 0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:35.360 ability to just sit and communicate in a meeting room 0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:37.520 and get on the same page. And he brings that element. 0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:40.399 He brings a big plays, dynamic player. He's good with 0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:41.720 the ball in his hands. He's able to win a 0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:43.840 number of different ways, which is intriguing for us. Yeah, 0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:47.119 I don't think I've ever heard decision maker used in 0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:49.199 a wide receiver. How do you know that? How do 0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:51.120 you find that out about a guy? Part of that's 0:23:51.160 --> 0:23:54.480 the way he talks the questions. He asked, like I'm saying, 0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:56.960 you know, versus this coverage, can I adjust this way? 0:23:57.119 --> 0:23:59.320 Verse that? Would you expect me to do this? What 0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:01.600 does Trevor. Want you know, he's asked those type of 0:24:01.680 --> 0:24:04.359 questions where it makes you confident and Okay, this guy's 0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:05.919 picking it up. And we knew a lot of that 0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:08.959 when we dug into him throughout the free agency period. 0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:12.280 Za Jones a guy who has been a couple of 0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:15.800 different places in the league. We've seen some highlights out 0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:17.119 of him too. What do you think so far? A 0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:19.600 few days into the offseason program? Za is a similar 0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:23.320 guys A is extremely cerebral. Another one that asked great 0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:25.119 questions and that's kind of gonna be the core with 0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:26.919 a lot of guys we talked about the high character 0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:31.200 guys love football. This is a little bit of a theme, um. 0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:33.560 And that's not by accident. So these are guys that 0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:36.280 that we we kind of know from we've talked to. 0:24:36.560 --> 0:24:39.080 We researched these guys through players that they played with, 0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:42.440 coaches that coached them, college coaches that coached him. UM. 0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:44.560 So we have a good feel for what we're getting 0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:47.400 out of these guys. Uh And Zay has done nothing 0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:50.480 to disappoint Das. He's a great teammate. He's done a 0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:52.520 great job early on in this process is getting to 0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:54.760 know everybody and getting to learn some things. Let's go 0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:56.560 to the tight end room. You know, I was thinking 0:24:56.600 --> 0:24:59.760 about this earlier today before we're about to do this conversation. 0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:03.560 I guess it was around right the Patriots got Gronk 0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:07.160 and Hernandez and that same draft together. And yes, there 0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:09.000 had been really good tight ends in the league before that, 0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:12.679 but that combination kind of change the mindset of a 0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:15.199 lot of offensive thinking around the NFL because of the 0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:18.720 success of that crew. Not calling this crew that, but 0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:21.160 Evan Ingram comes in. He got Dan Arnold, two guys 0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:23.919 that can go out and catch the football. Having that 0:25:24.000 --> 0:25:27.200 option as a quarterback, n OC has to help. Absolutely. 0:25:27.240 --> 0:25:29.120 It gives you the ability to create matchups and that's 0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:31.080 what we're looking for. When we put Evan Inger on 0:25:31.080 --> 0:25:33.320 the field, who's going to cover him? Do you do 0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:34.879 you need to bring in the lighter body. Do you 0:25:34.880 --> 0:25:36.560 put a nickel on him? Do you put a safety 0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:38.840 on him? Do you put a linebacker on him? Which 0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:41.600 we would ask for if you get to pick um. 0:25:41.640 --> 0:25:44.320 But Evan kind of brings that with his his his 0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:48.160 speed overall first and foremost. But he's got he again, 0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:49.399 He's got a guy that's got a lot in his 0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:51.400 body in terms of the wiggle and the decision making, 0:25:51.400 --> 0:25:54.040 the ability to make the option routes, the read routes 0:25:54.080 --> 0:25:56.520 stretched stretched down the field, does a great job with 0:25:56.560 --> 0:25:58.240 the football in his hands. You know, if you just 0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:00.360 get him out, whether it's a check down, a route, 0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:02.320 whatever that may be, you get a chance to see 0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:03.879 that speed and space, which we're looking to do all 0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:06.480 the time. Press Taylor with us and we'll finish in 0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:11.440 the offensive line. Brandon Sheriff longtime pro of course in Washington, 0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:16.159 perennial All Pro and Pro Bowl player, and just brings 0:26:16.280 --> 0:26:18.800 that kind of attitude I think to that room, right 0:26:19.080 --> 0:26:20.600 and that's a big part of it is we we 0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:23.919 know we're getting in the room. Obviously, UH coach rosher 0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:25.560 had the ability to work with Brandon when they were 0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:28.520 in Washington together, so he could vouch for the character 0:26:29.000 --> 0:26:31.639 and the leadership and it was really off the charts. 0:26:31.640 --> 0:26:33.359 He kind of went on and on about it. And 0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:35.840 then obviously the talent on tape, the Pro Bowls, the 0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:39.439 for all that stuff. He's an incredible talent um. You know, 0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:43.040 somebody that we look forward to adding incorporating in our 0:26:43.080 --> 0:26:46.600 offense as we go. Press final thoughts with you here 0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:49.480 in your past, you're kind of credited for some of 0:26:49.520 --> 0:26:51.840 the key plays in the Eagles run. We've known that 0:26:51.880 --> 0:26:55.440 from the old days, right, different role back then. You're 0:26:55.440 --> 0:26:59.119 now the offensive coordinator. Do you still try to dig 0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:04.720 and find new ways, new plays, steal ideas from college proteins? 0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:08.320 Is that still in your workflow? How much football do 0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:11.960 you watch on a regular basis otherwise beyond Jaguars tape 0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:15.040 and all that, and or does that come in a 0:27:15.119 --> 0:27:18.800 natural progression for an offense and your personnel? Yeah? Um, 0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:21.479 we're always looking for what we think fits us. So 0:27:21.520 --> 0:27:24.040 if you see a route on tape and Okay, that's 0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:25.640 a great route, do we have a guy that could 0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:27.640 do that, that would fitness skill set? Does it fit 0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:30.919 everything else around that we're doing? Um? How expensive is it? 0:27:30.960 --> 0:27:33.320 If it is something unique? That's one of the things 0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:35.199 we'll talk about a lot is how expensive is this? 0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:36.800 Do we want to invest in new ideas that are 0:27:36.840 --> 0:27:38.280 gonna cost a lot of time that we're not going 0:27:38.320 --> 0:27:41.240 to get a lot of return on. So you spend 0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:43.320 a lot of time and it's the things we're comfortable with, 0:27:43.359 --> 0:27:44.919 but the things that we feel like our players can 0:27:44.960 --> 0:27:47.760 do really well. Um, And we can teach really well, 0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:50.960 we can explain, we have evidence of but you really 0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:52.520 you want to know what you're talking about. Obviously for 0:27:52.520 --> 0:27:53.800 the guys you want you have to be able to 0:27:53.800 --> 0:27:55.960 prove to them that you can put them in position 0:27:56.040 --> 0:27:58.240 succeed and then and then giving things that they do 0:27:58.359 --> 0:28:00.880 really well. All right, you're what four days in now 0:28:01.080 --> 0:28:04.160 to the offseason program? Are you on track? What's coming 0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:06.399 up the next week or so? And and take us 0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:09.440 through just a normal day in the office right now, yeah, 0:28:09.600 --> 0:28:11.920 right right now. So it starts, you know, players get 0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:13.880 in here about nine o'clock. Sometimes we have a team meeting, 0:28:13.920 --> 0:28:15.639 sometimes we don't. They get in there. They got the 0:28:15.640 --> 0:28:17.399 ability to lift and then we have the ability to 0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:19.600 meet with them. They go out and run with the 0:28:19.600 --> 0:28:22.159 strength coaches, but in this phase one portion we're not 0:28:22.200 --> 0:28:23.800 allowed to go on the grass with them yet. So 0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:27.320 it's actually great in terms of the teaching progression of 0:28:27.320 --> 0:28:29.040 things where we get a chance to sit in a 0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:31.399 calm environment. There is no pressure to go out and 0:28:31.400 --> 0:28:34.480 perform on this play two hours later in practice right now, 0:28:34.800 --> 0:28:35.960 So you get a chance to ask a lot of 0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:39.160 questions to to see what their retention is on things. 0:28:39.200 --> 0:28:41.560 But it's really it's a pretty good process in terms 0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:43.440 of the progression of things and how we can teach 0:28:43.440 --> 0:28:45.720 our offense and we learn going forward. But I mean, 0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:47.880 I can just see it in your face. You can't 0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:49.880 wait to get on the ground down sunny flward or too. 0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:54.440 I want to get outside. Hey, Press, thanks for the time. 0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:56.240 We really appreciate it. Man. Good luck to you. Thank you. 0:28:56.360 --> 0:28:58.120 We'll see you down the line.

Good morning. Our goals this 0:29:30.760 --> 0:29:34.480 season should be out of reach, but never out of sight. 0:29:34.880 --> 0:29:36.960 My job is to put these goals right in front 0:29:36.960 --> 0:29:39.720 of us, and so we're striving and attaining and we're 0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:42.120 trying to go after these goals every single day. Put 0:29:42.160 --> 0:29:44.840 it in your head right now that we plan on 0:29:44.920 --> 0:29:52.680 planning in January and February. That is a teaser for 0:29:53.120 --> 0:29:56.920 chapter two of the Hunt. It airs tonight seven o'clock 0:29:57.040 --> 0:30:01.880 on the Jaguars YouTube channel. That from the first team 0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:04.240 meeting of the off season program, and of course head 0:30:04.280 --> 0:30:06.400 coach Doug Peterson in front of the room. Welcome back 0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:10.280 at Jaguars Happy Hour, j P. Shadrick, Jeff Logaman back 0:30:10.320 --> 0:30:13.440 with us now. Our thanks to Press Taylor, Jaguar's offensive coordinator, 0:30:13.480 --> 0:30:16.000 for spending some time today. It's a busy time lot 0:30:16.040 --> 0:30:19.600 going on draft, two weeks away, free agency, the players 0:30:19.640 --> 0:30:22.120 are in the off season programs here, they're trying to 0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:24.960 build and craft this offense together. But it was nice 0:30:24.960 --> 0:30:26.720 of him to take a few minutes today. What stood 0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:29.360 out well a couple of couple of things. One, remember 0:30:29.440 --> 0:30:32.880 that they're behind the eight ball a little bit. Okay, 0:30:32.880 --> 0:30:35.080 they got a late start because it's a new staff. 0:30:35.120 --> 0:30:37.760 And then also, uh, it was one of the later 0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:40.560 staffs that was put together. So I don't want to 0:30:40.560 --> 0:30:43.440 say they're playing catch up, but uh, maybe in some 0:30:43.520 --> 0:30:46.200 cases they are so. But I think the one thing 0:30:46.200 --> 0:30:48.640 that stood out to me was was Press talked about 0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:51.960 how much time are you gonna invest in something to 0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:56.000 get what in return? As an offensive play caller. And 0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:58.120 I thought that that was very telling because you want 0:30:58.120 --> 0:31:00.680 to make sure that you're efficient with your time him 0:31:00.720 --> 0:31:04.480 and making sure that okay, let's not spend thirty hours 0:31:04.560 --> 0:31:08.000 and trying to design this one play that we're gonna 0:31:08.160 --> 0:31:12.520 use maybe one time through the season. And I think 0:31:12.560 --> 0:31:14.520 that that's very smart you want to make it because 0:31:14.680 --> 0:31:17.880 here's the thing all of this that we're talking about about, 0:31:17.920 --> 0:31:20.280 where the players are at right now, and that Okay, 0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:23.440 they come in, they can't go out on the coaches 0:31:23.480 --> 0:31:25.400 can't go on the grass with the players. That has 0:31:25.440 --> 0:31:27.520 to be on their own. Okay, they have a little 0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:31.360 bit of a meeting. It's all very limited because of 0:31:31.400 --> 0:31:35.080 the collectively bargained rules and so there's only so much time. 0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:37.960 So you have to make sure that you have an 0:31:38.000 --> 0:31:42.280 economical way of navigating your time frame as coaching staff, 0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:44.520 especially when you have a new staff and you're gonna 0:31:44.560 --> 0:31:48.560 be installing a completely new system. So I think that 0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:52.000 was very smart on his part to talk about the 0:31:52.000 --> 0:31:54.760 amount invested in what you can actually potentially get in 0:31:54.840 --> 0:31:58.920 return here. And Trevor Lawrence talked about it earlier this week. 0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:02.400 You know, he likes to demeanor is calm demeanor. Even 0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:07.320 everybody's calm JP and he walks in the room and okay, 0:32:07.360 --> 0:32:10.360 that makes sense. But when when it gets real, comes 0:32:11.600 --> 0:32:14.760 turn in a billy Bob screamer, you know, when it 0:32:14.800 --> 0:32:17.440 comes to September, October, November. I mean, I don't know, 0:32:17.480 --> 0:32:20.880 but yeah, it's calm. Calm demeanors are always good for 0:32:20.920 --> 0:32:24.920 a quarterback because to play the position of quarterback. Could 0:32:24.920 --> 0:32:28.280 you imagine if last year's defensive line coach we're coaching 0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:37.560 the quarterback position. Okay, what was his name? Uh, Joe Cullen? 0:32:37.720 --> 0:32:41.480 Who was He was a coordinator who was very loud. 0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:45.040 Can you imagine Joe Collin trying to coach quarterbacks. I mean, 0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:46.600 he would do a fine job. But I mean it's 0:32:46.600 --> 0:32:49.960 just it's it's different. I mean, quarterback, you've got to 0:32:49.960 --> 0:32:51.840 be able to make great decisions, and you've got to 0:32:51.880 --> 0:32:54.240 be able to stay calm. Your mind has to work. 0:32:54.360 --> 0:32:58.000 You have to have a coach that kind of emanates 0:32:58.120 --> 0:33:02.040 that calmness about him so that I can be I guess, 0:33:02.120 --> 0:33:04.960 duplicated by the quarterback on game day. So yeah, so 0:33:05.000 --> 0:33:07.560 that's a good fit. I like what Trevor said. I 0:33:07.600 --> 0:33:10.000 also like what Trevor said as far as about how 0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:13.080 things are working, and uh and press Taylor. I think 0:33:13.160 --> 0:33:15.400 is gonna be really good for Trevor. I think it's 0:33:15.400 --> 0:33:18.480 gonna be a good fit. I think the head coach 0:33:18.640 --> 0:33:21.360 is a good fit when it comes to making all 0:33:21.400 --> 0:33:23.960 of this work. And I think Doug Peterson obviously was 0:33:24.000 --> 0:33:27.040 the most important thing here in this hiring cycle for 0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:29.160 this football team, and he's done. I think he's done 0:33:29.160 --> 0:33:34.440 a masterful job of putting together a really strong offensive staff, 0:33:34.680 --> 0:33:38.320 really strong. Tosh Lapoy was his name, by the way, 0:33:39.680 --> 0:33:42.360 from last year. He's like, I just wanted to go 0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:44.760 over and walk over to him and practices sometimes and go, 0:33:44.920 --> 0:33:48.360 Tosh man, just just to take do you have blood 0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:51.360 pressure medicine? Can I get you some? I mean, come on, man, 0:33:52.200 --> 0:33:54.720 let's hear from Shaquille Griffin. He spoke with the media 0:33:54.720 --> 0:33:56.880 earlier this week and has been around the league a 0:33:56.920 --> 0:34:00.000 few years now. Obviously came in free agency last year 0:34:00.280 --> 0:34:03.200 and was asked about the difference from the coaching staff 0:34:03.280 --> 0:34:06.480 from last year to now get a chance to be 0:34:06.520 --> 0:34:09.120 with coaches who have experience in the league. You know, 0:34:09.400 --> 0:34:11.520 the first day we met with coaching and people are saying, yeah, 0:34:11.520 --> 0:34:13.920 I was in the league ten years, eleven years, teen years, 0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:17.279 twelve years they have actually played. That's amazing to me. 0:34:17.640 --> 0:34:19.640 And that's the person who can understand anything that I 0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:21.880 might see or go through or maybe in the future 0:34:21.880 --> 0:34:24.120 that can help me out. So I'll like the atmosphere 0:34:24.160 --> 0:34:27.080 is different because it's so relatable. Yeah, it certainly is. 0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:30.080 And all the assistant coaches have that. The Shade Townshend 0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:32.840 as the cornerbacks coach, he has that. Certainly played in 0:34:32.840 --> 0:34:35.120 the league for a long long time. And then that's 0:34:35.200 --> 0:34:38.080 that's a big thing. When you have to stand in 0:34:38.080 --> 0:34:40.319 front of that room, you have you can relate to 0:34:40.440 --> 0:34:43.400 pretty much anyone. It gets their attention. But then after 0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:46.200 you have gotten their attention as a coach, you have 0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:49.920 to give them substance. But there's no question that a 0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:52.160 lot of the things that a player may go through, 0:34:52.480 --> 0:34:55.160 the coach can relate to that's played the game. And 0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:57.719 I think that matters just as far as relating to 0:34:57.800 --> 0:35:00.520 the players. And when it comes to mess the gene 0:35:01.160 --> 0:35:04.919 and uh and and and building a relationship, I think 0:35:04.920 --> 0:35:07.680 all of that helps. But again I'm gonna say this again, 0:35:08.560 --> 0:35:10.560 you have to be able to show the player that 0:35:10.640 --> 0:35:13.080 you can help them become a better player. If you're 0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:16.799 a former player and you're crappy coach, okay, you're gonna 0:35:16.800 --> 0:35:19.160 eventually be viewed as a crappy coach that can't help 0:35:19.160 --> 0:35:21.239 me play football better than what I'm playing right now, 0:35:21.600 --> 0:35:23.600 and it doesn't become of any use to a player. 0:35:23.680 --> 0:35:27.239 So it opens the door. Initially, it cracks the door open, 0:35:27.320 --> 0:35:31.160 but then the information, the teachings and everything else have 0:35:31.320 --> 0:35:34.560 to cast to keep that door open. Looking forward to 0:35:34.600 --> 0:35:38.120 seeing the cornerback room. By the way, Darius Williams on 0:35:38.120 --> 0:35:42.160 one side, Shaq Griffin, Tyson Campbell was on Drivetime earlier 0:35:42.200 --> 0:35:43.920 this week. Well, I think I think it's gonna be 0:35:43.960 --> 0:35:48.520 interesting to see how they formulate a plan for these 0:35:48.560 --> 0:35:51.160 three guys and beyond. I mean, I'm not talking about 0:35:51.719 --> 0:35:53.719 to train all those in the mix. I mean it's 0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:56.279 I don't want to, you know, cut anybody out here. 0:35:57.000 --> 0:36:00.759 But the obvious question is, Okay, you have a big 0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:03.279 free Asian acquisition last year, you have a big free 0:36:03.280 --> 0:36:06.920 Asian acquisition. This year, you have a promising young draft 0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:10.040 pick from last year. How do you make these three 0:36:10.080 --> 0:36:14.320 guys be the most productive for this football team? And 0:36:14.680 --> 0:36:17.600 that's what the coach's responsibility is and they've got to 0:36:17.640 --> 0:36:20.960 find a way to make these personalities in these traits 0:36:21.080 --> 0:36:25.160 work for this defense, because everybody has a trait that 0:36:25.160 --> 0:36:27.759 that can help a defense and just it's real quick. 0:36:27.920 --> 0:36:31.359 I think that's always what has made Bill Belichick such 0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:35.600 a great coach, and that he can find guys that 0:36:35.719 --> 0:36:39.440 have a couple of traits that can help a football 0:36:39.480 --> 0:36:43.240 team win in a very defined role. He's not looking 0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:46.520 for a guy that's going to eventually be a different 0:36:46.600 --> 0:36:49.200 role player three or four years away from the current 0:36:49.320 --> 0:36:52.239 moment that we're in. He he finds guys that, hey, 0:36:52.280 --> 0:36:55.239 this guy, he can fill this role this year and 0:36:55.280 --> 0:36:57.400 do it very well. And I think that's what you 0:36:57.480 --> 0:36:59.920 have to be able to do to be successful as 0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:02.719 coaching stuff. Find out what the players do well and 0:37:02.760 --> 0:37:05.840 then to find that role and allow them to thrive 0:37:05.880 --> 0:37:08.439 in that role. Let's come back in a moment. We'll 0:37:08.440 --> 0:37:11.400 take a live look outside at the Football Performance Center. 0:37:12.320 --> 0:37:15.959 There's a wall going on. I saw some center blocks JP. Yes, 0:37:16.360 --> 0:37:18.719 the walls are going up on Jaguars dot com and 0:37:18.800 --> 0:37:20.799 or Jaguars social channels. You'll see that in a moment. 0:37:20.840 --> 0:37:23.759 We'll go around the NFL. Also, it's Jaguars Happy Hour 0:37:24.040 --> 0:37:32.359 on the Jaguars Digital Network. Either also was like, now 0:37:32.400 --> 0:37:38.880 I'm glad I don't have to go to No. Not definitely, 0:37:38.920 --> 0:37:41.000 just that's just a human element of it. Uh, just 0:37:41.040 --> 0:37:44.080 center results. You're definitely like if there was any year 0:37:44.080 --> 0:37:47.600 to miss, I missed a great one. That is Travis 0:37:47.600 --> 0:37:51.200 et In Junior earlier this week quote of the week 0:37:51.320 --> 0:37:54.040 so far and welcome back Jaguars Happy Hour. We take 0:37:54.040 --> 0:37:57.479 a live look outside if you're watching on Jaguars dot com, 0:37:57.560 --> 0:38:02.920 Jags social media, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, the footprint of the 0:38:02.960 --> 0:38:07.160 Football Performance Center and there is concrete going yes down 0:38:07.480 --> 0:38:12.160 as foundation, but concrete wall going up. Plugs that would 0:38:12.160 --> 0:38:15.160 be center block. The center block wall is going up. 0:38:15.239 --> 0:38:18.440 That's kind of in the right hand sign of your picture. 0:38:18.480 --> 0:38:21.440 There that little gray box. He looking things that center blocks. 0:38:22.200 --> 0:38:24.120 And it's taller than it looks on the screen, so 0:38:24.200 --> 0:38:27.560 it actually looks like a construction site now instead of 0:38:27.600 --> 0:38:34.200 a motocross park. Right the footprint on the former UM 0:38:34.480 --> 0:38:38.080 practice field site, which before that was Wolfson Park. I 0:38:38.160 --> 0:38:40.800 wonder if the guy and the bulldozer would let me 0:38:40.920 --> 0:38:43.160 drive that for a little while. Are you qualified you 0:38:43.160 --> 0:38:45.920 have a license for that thing? No? But I can 0:38:46.000 --> 0:38:48.440 drive a bulldozer, believe it or not, but not on 0:38:48.480 --> 0:38:52.080 this ground. You can. No. No, no, that a license. No, 0:38:52.360 --> 0:38:55.319 that's against the That's like, that's like when you were 0:38:55.320 --> 0:38:59.960 a kid, j P. Did you not have talk that 0:39:00.000 --> 0:39:03.880 a stick or where they you had metal ones? You 0:39:03.960 --> 0:39:06.680 must have gotten some hand me down. They were they 0:39:06.719 --> 0:39:08.319 were I don't know. I was too young to know 0:39:08.360 --> 0:39:11.480 where they came from. Joe had titanium steel like old 0:39:11.520 --> 0:39:15.759 school red iron steel Tonka toy trucks. I had just 0:39:15.840 --> 0:39:21.319 a regular metal Tonka toy truck. You're gonna like this. 0:39:21.480 --> 0:39:24.960 I had a Tonka truck, big metal. It was a 0:39:25.000 --> 0:39:31.040 car carrier with four nineteen Corvettes. That's where were ruined 0:39:31.040 --> 0:39:35.399 ever since then. Why that explains a lot. Actually, that's 0:39:35.400 --> 0:39:39.480 where your problems started. Joe. How many Corvettes have you 0:39:39.520 --> 0:39:41.359 own in your lifetime? Real quick? Because this is why 0:39:41.400 --> 0:39:44.919 there's a reason why we're saying that the next one 0:39:44.960 --> 0:39:50.680 will be number nine? Good lord, wow, let's go around 0:39:50.680 --> 0:39:53.680 and might have a problem. See that's that's like brainwashing. 0:39:53.760 --> 0:39:56.360 As a child, somebody gave you those Tonka Troy trucks 0:39:56.400 --> 0:39:58.920 with the Corvette carriers, and you were ruined ever since well, 0:39:58.920 --> 0:40:01.040 at least he you know, he's picking nice He could 0:40:01.040 --> 0:40:03.719 have picked Hugos. I mean he's picking corvettes now that 0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:05.920 JP The Hugos would have been for the for the 0:40:05.960 --> 0:40:08.840 monster trucks to drive over. The talk of trucks to 0:40:08.920 --> 0:40:11.760 drive over, not to be carrying them. Let's go around 0:40:11.760 --> 0:40:15.800 the National Football League and get into the quarterback position. 0:40:15.880 --> 0:40:19.960 Kyler Murray news came out today. I'm not really news, 0:40:20.000 --> 0:40:22.640 but he's in the headlines. At least he's not expected 0:40:22.680 --> 0:40:25.719 to play for the Cardinals without a new contract. He's 0:40:25.760 --> 0:40:28.200 doing about five million dollars this year, and with all 0:40:28.239 --> 0:40:31.280 the money flying around the NFL with quarterbacks as of late, 0:40:31.600 --> 0:40:35.040 Kyler Murray apparently thinks he should have some of that. 0:40:35.320 --> 0:40:41.319 Isn't it funny how some guys well do this, I 0:40:41.320 --> 0:40:44.319 guess social media protests. Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna take 0:40:44.360 --> 0:40:49.480 off all of the likeness of the Arizona Cardinals away 0:40:49.640 --> 0:40:53.600 from my Instagram and Twitter account because I'm mad I 0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:57.920 need a new contract. I mean, it's look, it's business, Okay, 0:40:57.960 --> 0:41:02.480 everybody's gonna Everything happens in a in a proper time frame. Okay, 0:41:02.680 --> 0:41:07.360 do you think that taking all names and likenesses of 0:41:07.400 --> 0:41:11.160 the Arizona Cardinals off of your Instagram account is gonna 0:41:11.280 --> 0:41:15.840 sway the ownership of the Arizona Cardinals saying, oh my gosh, 0:41:15.880 --> 0:41:19.919 we can't have that. Give me a break. Come on, man, 0:41:21.080 --> 0:41:23.359 do it the right way, be a pro. What are 0:41:23.360 --> 0:41:26.520 they gonna do? They don't have to give him anything. 0:41:26.560 --> 0:41:29.239 I mean, that's the reality, isn't. Here's the thing. At 0:41:29.280 --> 0:41:31.080 the end of the season last year, he was not 0:41:31.280 --> 0:41:33.640 very good. Although he was one of the most exciting 0:41:33.719 --> 0:41:37.440 quarterbacks by far in the early part of the season, 0:41:37.640 --> 0:41:43.280 the performance waned. So win a playoff game. Be about 0:41:43.760 --> 0:41:48.319 performance and leadership and everything else. Everything else will take 0:41:48.360 --> 0:41:50.799 care of itself. You don't need to have all these 0:41:50.840 --> 0:41:55.759 other trumped up protest okay to to earn yourself a 0:41:55.800 --> 0:41:59.560 new contract. You earned that new contract and that will come. 0:42:00.120 --> 0:42:02.319 Speaking of a guy who has done it the right 0:42:02.320 --> 0:42:05.320 way over the years and signed a three year extension 0:42:05.360 --> 0:42:08.360 with the Las Vegas Raiders Derek Carr. He was scheduled 0:42:08.360 --> 0:42:10.640 to make twenty one million this season. That's now twenty 0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:13.600 four this season. The extension kicks in in twenty three. 0:42:13.880 --> 0:42:17.040 He'll be guaranteed another forty plus million. Then reported total 0:42:17.200 --> 0:42:19.439 value is a hundred and twenty one and a half 0:42:19.520 --> 0:42:22.960 million dollars went to the playoffs last year, and that 0:42:23.120 --> 0:42:26.319 is a it's a crazy division now they're trying to 0:42:26.400 --> 0:42:30.000 keep pace. Car gives them stability at the position. Yeah, 0:42:30.080 --> 0:42:32.440 and and look, uh, I think I think some people 0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:35.240 might have a pretty strong opinion to you and should 0:42:35.280 --> 0:42:39.839 you have given that extension to him? Uh? But uh, 0:42:39.920 --> 0:42:43.080 he didn't. Look, they've got Josh McDaniels there now, and 0:42:43.120 --> 0:42:45.400 they've believe very strongly in him. Can he do that? 0:42:45.600 --> 0:42:49.239 Did he take all the Las Vegas Raiders names and 0:42:49.320 --> 0:42:52.600 likenesses off of his Twitter kind of guests? No? I 0:42:52.600 --> 0:42:54.399 don't think he's that kind of but it worked out 0:42:54.440 --> 0:42:58.440 for somehow. It's amazing. Oh man, same draft class, by 0:42:58.440 --> 0:43:00.360 the way, is Blake Bortles. So he's been around for 0:43:00.360 --> 0:43:04.040 a long time with the boat. Yes, they came through 0:43:04.080 --> 0:43:08.480 here on like the same day. On prospects. What round? 0:43:08.480 --> 0:43:12.040 What round is Derek? Uh? He was pretty high, I think, 0:43:12.040 --> 0:43:15.279 but he wasn't first round. I don't remember exactly what 0:43:15.320 --> 0:43:18.719 I thought he was the second round. Yeah. Yeah, that's 0:43:18.840 --> 0:43:23.800 it's interesting. And um, and look, I'm not saying anything 0:43:23.880 --> 0:43:27.279 to criticize Blake portals. But boy, if you had been 0:43:27.320 --> 0:43:30.160 able to switch the quarterback pick out would have been 0:43:30.320 --> 0:43:34.960 vastly different. At thirty sixth overall for yeah, so top 0:43:35.000 --> 0:43:37.600 of the second round. Yeah. Look, he's a good quarterback, 0:43:38.000 --> 0:43:42.080 and um, I think under the right tutelage, I think 0:43:42.080 --> 0:43:44.359 he can win. Is he a guy that you sit 0:43:44.400 --> 0:43:46.160 there and you go, hey, look we're we're all in 0:43:46.280 --> 0:43:48.359 with him. No, I think you're still one of those 0:43:48.400 --> 0:43:52.800 guys that you still continue to shop. Okay, well, another 0:43:52.840 --> 0:43:55.560 guy that wants to be shopped right now, but isn't 0:43:55.600 --> 0:43:59.399 as of this moment as Baker Mayfield. He says he 0:43:59.600 --> 0:44:03.960 feels quote disrespected about how it ended in Cleveland. Quote 0:44:03.960 --> 0:44:07.080 here's the quote from a podcast this week. One because 0:44:07.120 --> 0:44:09.360 I was told one thing and they completely did another. 0:44:09.760 --> 0:44:11.520 That's what I'm in the middle of right now. I 0:44:11.600 --> 0:44:13.560 got my taste of it because I've had four different 0:44:13.600 --> 0:44:16.239 head coaches in four years, a bunch of different coordinators. 0:44:16.320 --> 0:44:18.880 End quote. He's still on the roster in Cleveland, and 0:44:18.920 --> 0:44:22.000 he also said that Seattle is the most likely option, 0:44:22.120 --> 0:44:24.680 though that may not be his decision. Seattle just signed 0:44:24.719 --> 0:44:27.799 Geno Smith to one year today. I mean, does that 0:44:28.000 --> 0:44:30.880 mean that Banker is gonna be uh or have a 0:44:31.000 --> 0:44:32.799 chance to go to Seattle. I don't know about that. 0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:36.120 Did they do them wrong? What does it matter? Look, 0:44:36.880 --> 0:44:39.040 it doesn't matter. I mean that. I think what you 0:44:39.120 --> 0:44:41.000 just said right there is the most important thing, because 0:44:41.040 --> 0:44:43.320 it does not matter. I mean as a as a 0:44:43.360 --> 0:44:47.839 player that played hurt all year for the team and 0:44:47.920 --> 0:44:52.720 for the organization, does he have a right to be upset? Yeah, 0:44:53.080 --> 0:44:57.120 because he did play hurt and where a lot of 0:44:57.160 --> 0:45:00.440 other players or some other players might not have. So 0:45:00.600 --> 0:45:04.279 does a player feel disrespected about the treatment that he's 0:45:04.320 --> 0:45:09.040 received since then after he sacrificed his body for the 0:45:09.080 --> 0:45:12.480 team this past year. I totally understand his point. But 0:45:12.600 --> 0:45:15.440 at the end of the day, JP, You're right, it 0:45:15.480 --> 0:45:19.520 doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter. So it's about business. 0:45:19.520 --> 0:45:25.239 And they signed Deshaun Watson to a historic contract for 0:45:25.320 --> 0:45:28.200 a guy that has a lot of questions in his 0:45:28.360 --> 0:45:30.960 in his past and in the background, and also questions 0:45:31.000 --> 0:45:34.560 about his future. Is that the right thing that the 0:45:34.560 --> 0:45:39.480 Cleveland Browns ownership did. I don't think so, but uh, 0:45:39.560 --> 0:45:42.000 but it is what it is. And at some point 0:45:42.400 --> 0:45:46.080 the Browns will trade Baker Mayfield when it benefits them. 0:45:46.120 --> 0:45:50.280 The most and unfortunately that's the nature of the business. 0:45:50.320 --> 0:45:53.319 And at some point Baker Mayfield, if he plays well enough, 0:45:53.880 --> 0:45:56.759 then he will hold the cards. And but right now 0:45:57.160 --> 0:46:01.360 a rookie contract, not great performance, is coming off injury, 0:46:01.960 --> 0:46:04.600 and a team that has just signed a guy to 0:46:04.680 --> 0:46:07.600 a record contract, he just has to wait and buy 0:46:07.719 --> 0:46:10.880 his time. Gino Smith. By the way, as you mentioned 0:46:10.920 --> 0:46:16.080 that one year contract, and was it not a huge 0:46:16.160 --> 0:46:17.800 It's not a bunch of money. He's in there. He 0:46:17.920 --> 0:46:19.960 brought in there to compete. They got he's got some 0:46:20.000 --> 0:46:23.120 off field issues. He had suspicion of d u I 0:46:23.280 --> 0:46:26.000 after a week eighteen in January, and he's got some 0:46:26.080 --> 0:46:29.880 court stuff coming. And they got Andrew Locke, the former 0:46:29.920 --> 0:46:33.279 Broncos quarterback as far as the trade that they had. 0:46:33.400 --> 0:46:35.200 So they've got some guys that are gonna be in 0:46:35.239 --> 0:46:39.439 there competing. Could they bring Baker Mayfield into that and 0:46:39.440 --> 0:46:42.400 and let him let him compete. I don't see why not. 0:46:43.680 --> 0:46:47.160 The the Seahawks certainly had the room. Look they they 0:46:47.239 --> 0:46:50.920 clean house now, I mean, Russell Wilson gone, Bobby Wagner gone, 0:46:50.920 --> 0:46:53.120 and they've got they've got they've got the cap room 0:46:53.200 --> 0:46:58.279 to be able to make some additional decisions at that 0:46:58.360 --> 0:47:00.799 quarterback position because the guy that they have, it's not 0:47:00.840 --> 0:47:02.480 like they're costing him a ton of money. They're not 0:47:02.520 --> 0:47:05.759 paying anybody over twenty million or I don't even know 0:47:05.760 --> 0:47:07.480 what the highest pay got because lock still on a 0:47:07.560 --> 0:47:11.360 rookie contract. Russell will Um, not Russell Wilson, but Gino 0:47:11.440 --> 0:47:14.719 Smith is probably on a one year, seven million deal. 0:47:16.400 --> 0:47:18.480 It might not be that much. So it's not like 0:47:18.960 --> 0:47:21.040 it's gonna be prohibitive now if all of a sudden 0:47:21.080 --> 0:47:24.160 they trade for Baker Mayfield. Stop me if you've heard 0:47:24.160 --> 0:47:26.960 this before, Logs, but the Washington Commanders are in the 0:47:26.960 --> 0:47:30.319 news for something other than football. The U. S. House 0:47:30.360 --> 0:47:33.680 of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Reforms sent a letter 0:47:33.680 --> 0:47:36.800 to the Federal Trade Commission saying the Commanders and owner 0:47:36.880 --> 0:47:41.280 Dan Snyder quote may have engaged in a troubling, long running, 0:47:41.320 --> 0:47:45.840 and potentially unlawful pattern of financial conduct that victimized thousands 0:47:45.840 --> 0:47:49.200 of team fans and the National Football League and quote 0:47:49.600 --> 0:47:53.560 the Washington Post was the first to report withholding security 0:47:53.600 --> 0:47:56.799 deposits on premium seating and using the money for their purposes. 0:47:57.239 --> 0:48:00.040 They say the team under reported ticket revenue and what 0:48:00.160 --> 0:48:02.759 at times falsely claim a portion of revenue came from 0:48:02.800 --> 0:48:06.480 special events instead of games. There's allegations of two sets 0:48:06.480 --> 0:48:09.600 of books. This of course goes to the salary cap 0:48:09.640 --> 0:48:11.799 as well that there's some issues that could come from 0:48:11.840 --> 0:48:15.320 the p A on this, and it's just another story 0:48:15.320 --> 0:48:17.600 in a line of long stories. Well I think this 0:48:17.719 --> 0:48:20.279 is uh a big one them. Well, all of this 0:48:20.360 --> 0:48:23.480 is pointing to what's going to be the death blow 0:48:24.400 --> 0:48:29.879 for the current ownership situation in Washington. A couple of things. One, 0:48:29.960 --> 0:48:33.680 class action lawsuits are going to be filed by the consumers, 0:48:33.760 --> 0:48:38.160 the people that had these uh large sums of money 0:48:38.360 --> 0:48:41.759 essentially given to the teams for their luxury seating and 0:48:41.800 --> 0:48:44.040 then not refunded. They were trying to find creative ways 0:48:44.080 --> 0:48:46.720 to not give it back. There will be a class 0:48:46.760 --> 0:48:49.800 action lawsuit for that. And then when you start taking 0:48:50.560 --> 0:48:54.880 food off of the table of family, that's a major problem. 0:48:55.040 --> 0:48:57.360 And when I see food off of the table for family, 0:48:57.400 --> 0:49:01.000 their thirty one other owners in the National Football And 0:49:01.160 --> 0:49:04.400 if this is even remotely close to being truthful that 0:49:04.480 --> 0:49:07.600 they had two sets of books to to find ways 0:49:07.680 --> 0:49:12.800 to funnel money away from the shared revenue aspect, Daniel 0:49:12.800 --> 0:49:17.320 Snyder's done he has done the big story certainly. Um, 0:49:17.360 --> 0:49:20.239 your dad's here today in town. Good to see you. 0:49:20.360 --> 0:49:23.840 Thank you for joining us and from Texas Lodge Studio audience. 0:49:23.960 --> 0:49:27.440 Mr Logovan in here tonight.
