2
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: writer John Oser and Jaguars Executive producer Dave de Candice.

3
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: We are joined this week by the Jaguars broadcast team.

4
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: It's Frank Frangie, Tony Pistelli, Jeff Logerman. You know what,

5
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: for Jaguars fans, those guys need no introduction, so get

6
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: right to it. Frank, first question for you, out of

7
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: the box. I'm gonna ask Tony how he's feeling in

8
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: a little bit, but I want to know from you,

9
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: what do you think or do we know the setup

10
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: this year in terms of broadcasting these games? Yeah, I think,

11
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: I mean we it's a work in progress John, and

12
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: it's been fluid. We didn't even this morning, we've talked

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: about it. I think home games will be the way

14
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: they've been. We're gonna problem spread out our booths a

15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: little bit more so we're socially distanced, but we'll be

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: in our booth and it will be the three of

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: us that it will be a producer and an engineer,

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: Joe and coach, which we've always done. So I don't

19
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: think home games will look and feel any different from

20
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: the way we do it. And hopefully the way people

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,199
Speaker 1: hear it, the road game we're gonna operate. It looks

22
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: like out of this out of the stadium, John, we're

23
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: probably gonna be in the network TV booths with this,

24
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: which is a very big booth, which gives us again

25
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: a chance to spread out a lot of television monitors.

26
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: That's kind of what the baseball guys are doing. They're

27
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: all going either from their home stadium. I've talked to

28
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: now twenty three of the thirty or the other thirty

29
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: one UH teams that play by play guys, and I

30
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: think most are going from home. Very few are traveling.

31
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: Mark Gaydermer from Houston's gonna travel, gonna fly himself, Mike

32
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: Keith might, but around the league, I think most are

33
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: doing it remotely. So home will found the same, well,

34
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: the hopefully all sound the same. Home will be the

35
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: same for us, and we set it up the road

36
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: will will still be in the stadium and the network

37
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: booths spread out, but we'll be doing the games watching

38
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: a monitor in doing them from home. And Jeff, I

39
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: guess this is just the case where you you play

40
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: the hand that's dealt in this situation. What else you

41
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: gonna do? You know, it kind of is what it is.

42
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: And going all the way back when we first, uh,

43
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: we're kind of getting an understanding of how this this

44
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: virus had impacted everybody. We were sitting there thinking to

45
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: ourselves and I said this, I think in one of

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: our radio broadcasts back in in April May, I said, well,

47
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: if I'm in charge of football, I'm not taking any

48
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: unnecessary personnel now on road trips. I mean, you just

49
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: you just can't risk it. You gotta create the as

50
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: tight of a bubble as you can for the players

51
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: and the staff to be able to have the games

52
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: go on. And why would you risk having Basselli on

53
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: the airplane to give every everybody else a virus or

54
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: me or Frank or Joe or coach. I mean, it's

55
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: just unnecessary. I mean I've been tested, Yes, I've been

56
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: tested multiple times. It's it's superpowers now that they were.

57
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. Everybody's trying to get an understanding

58
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: of what the lands gape is gonna be. And because

59
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: right now a lot of the questions that we have,

60
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: we don't have the answers. You know what Tony is

61
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: talking about. I mean unless he goes and gets tested

62
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: and still has you know, proof of the anybodies in him,

63
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, is he truly safe for out other people?

64
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, so all this stuff we're still

65
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: finding out. But like you said, Johnny, it is what

66
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: it is. And you know, we're we're kind of just

67
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: waiting on what we are being told what we can

68
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: and can't do, and then we'll just adjust. I mean,

69
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: we can still have a great broadcast and and still

70
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,839
Speaker 1: entertain people with the radio call of the game, even

71
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: if we're in Jacksonville. It's not gonna be as easy,

72
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: but we're gonna do the best we can make it entertaining.

73
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: And Tony think most people listening to know that you

74
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: obviously went through this at the very beginning of all this,

75
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: uh thoughts on you know, I guess the necessity of this.

76
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: You're up close to it, so you understand exactly why

77
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: all these things are in place. Oh yeah, A you

78
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: gotta be smart. I mean, here's the good news. I mean,

79
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: just right, we're still learning a lot, but we know

80
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: so much more than we did back when I had it.

81
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean, back when I had it, the fear was

82
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: you get it, You're gonna die. And I mean even

83
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: at the in the i c U at the hospital.

84
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: Some of the best doctors in the country. You know

85
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: that we're in polonologists. We're looking at me like we

86
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: we don't really know where this is going to go

87
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: and what this virus is gonna do it. We're much

88
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 1: further along that better treatments now. I think we're getting

89
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: close to a vaccine. UM. You look at the overall,

90
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: it's still very infectious and people can get it. But

91
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: if you look at the data, you know, people that

92
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: are playing football, these professional football players at that age

93
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: really super super super low risk of anything serious happening.

94
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: It can't happen, but it's very low UM and so

95
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: that's the good news. We know. More. With that said,

96
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: you still have to be smart because from a competitive standpoint,

97
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: you know, because if guys do get it, that means

98
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: they can't play UM and so you have to be

99
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: able to feel the team and have you know, and

100
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: and go back to business of football. And then on

101
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: the other side, you do have to worry about the

102
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: health of these coach is. I mean, we've been around

103
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: these coaches, some of them were older and some are

104
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: the most healthy guys in the whole world. Uh, and

105
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: so you gotta be you gotta be careful, you gotta

106
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: be smart, because that the last thing we want somebody

107
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: who does has some underlying health issues and is an

108
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: older individual. UM that's coach in the NFL to be

109
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: exposed of the virus can get it because it could

110
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: go really bad, really quickly, feels individuals. So I think

111
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: the NFL has done a great job. I really do. UM.

112
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: You know, pe persk go and I've talked about it

113
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: on the Monday Night show for the Jaguars. UM that

114
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: if you look back, you know, and of all the

115
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: professional sports league the NFL had, it is the most

116
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: difficult one to manage the number of players to contact,

117
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: all those things that go on. UM Two, if you

118
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: look at it, the way that the p A in

119
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: the league handled it really well, I mean tough negotiations,

120
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: big economic issues, testing safety, all those things. You compare

121
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: that to what Baseball went through. I mean, these guys

122
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: look like rock stars. And so I take my hat off,

123
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: and then you look at what the owners have invested

124
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: to making sure these players hand be state, you know,

125
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: testing protocols, social distancing within the facilities, figuring out weight rooms,

126
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: night all the logistics really going um to the utmost

127
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: length of making sure we can play football. So I

128
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: think the NFL has done a great job. Um. With

129
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: that said, we have a lot of hills declimbs still

130
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: because right now these teams are isolated. It's only them

131
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: in camp. You know, I think you now expose it

132
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: to more risk when you start traveling, going to other stadiums. Um,

133
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: and then the whole I'll go back to the competitive landscape.

134
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: You know, how do we handle if we have a

135
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: bunch of false positives like we did this past week

136
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: with the lab in New Jersey the night before a game?

137
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: You know, how does that work for a team? What

138
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: do you do? So it's gonna be interesting. I'm hoping

139
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: we get through it because, like Jeff said, it'll be

140
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: fun to call games and watching football. I'll be sad

141
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: that we're not there. I mean, one of my favorite

142
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: things about calling games, whether it's for the Jaguars on

143
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: Thursday night at Westwood One, it's getting on the field

144
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: before the game, talking to players and coaches and getting inside.

145
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: So we won't have that side of it, um, But well, still,

146
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: I think we all to give some good inside of

147
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: what's happening on the field. I want to go around

148
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: the horn on this one, but I'll start with Frank

149
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: because his the radio shows everybody knows, and he follows

150
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: all sports, maybe a little more than the rest of us. Frank,

151
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: don't you get the idea watching the other sports and

152
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: watching the NFL. I have such a much better feeling

153
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: that they're gonna pull this off than I did two

154
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: or three months ago. I do. I said all on

155
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: baseball would be the guinea pig. Baseball be the template.

156
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: Baseball is not in the bubble. Baseball's played outside in

157
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: big stadiums on grass and so for in our country

158
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: the MLS two, but even they were in a bubble,

159
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: all right, Baseball was going to be the most like football,

160
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: and baseball is gonna screw up, and so let the

161
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: baseball folks screw up. And they did. Let the let

162
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: the Marlins and the Cardinals mess up. And we see

163
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: how drastic it is when they do um. But yeah,

164
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: I think I think they. I think the belief is Johnny,

165
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: they gotta move forward. They gotta find a way to

166
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: move forward. And I think that, well, I lose what

167
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: Tony did too. I think the NFL has been all

168
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: over this thing. They always are. They pulled off the

169
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: draft without a game, they pulled off before that free

170
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: agency without a game. They never waiver. They said we're

171
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: gonna play our sixteen games. They may waiver, but how

172
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: many people are gonna watch? And so I think I

173
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: think the NFL has been all over this. But I

174
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: agree with what she said. We've gotta we gotta move on,

175
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: and I think we found a way to move on.

176
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: Baseball was sort of the template for it. I would

177
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: be shocked. It's a That doesn't mean a football team

178
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: couldn't have an outbreak and miss a week. I think

179
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: that could happen college or pro. But I'd be surprised

180
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: if we don't finish the season of some capacity. I

181
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: totally agree with that. You know, look, the NFL and

182
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: NFL p A, they've all done a great job. But

183
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: the reality of the NFL had the most time to

184
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: prepare of any sports, you know, so they didn't have

185
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: to do anything and all the way until they got

186
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: to the point where okay, we didn't start reporting to camp,

187
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: you know, so they had the most time to prepare.

188
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: They had time to learn from the mistakes of the

189
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: other sports. Leagues, and uh, and here's the reality. The

190
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: NFL and played the game yet you know, so let's

191
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: let's not jump on the end wagon and pat everybody

192
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: on the back, because you know, the reality is is

193
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: that even if you do it perfectly, there's still a

194
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: risk that certain things end up coming up that's going

195
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: to interrupt the game. And so so until we get

196
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: to where the games are actually played and things of

197
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: that nature, you know, you've got to kind of hauld

198
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: off judgment because the reality is, this is something we've

199
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: ever dealt with as a as a as a as

200
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: a league, right. I mean, I think what the NFL

201
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: and sports league had to deal with a pandemic years

202
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: and years ago. But I mean we're not talking about

203
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: the sports leagues up today, you know, so this is

204
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: a different landscape. And uh, and hopefully it does go

205
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: off without a hitch, and players are smart, but we

206
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: all know that when you're you're you're a young man

207
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 1: in your early twenties, all of a sudden, once you

208
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: get out of training camp and out of that team

209
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: hotel and the bubble kind of opens up a little bit.

210
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: It's a little different. Yeah, we're gonna get to the

211
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: Jags in a minute. But I want to talk to

212
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: Tony and Jeff about what you just said. Jeff, I

213
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: get the idea that there's maybe a disconnect between fans

214
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: and the reality of players and sort of assume that

215
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: players aren't going to take this seriously. Um. As former players,

216
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: I sort of get the idea that players are going

217
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: to be diligent about it. And maybe I'm naive, But

218
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: what do you guys think You guys played, you were young,

219
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: you're both relatively older players at times. How do you

220
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: think players are gonna protest? And what's your confidence in

221
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: how they're going to approach it? Well, John, I think

222
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: I think this has been such a serious issue. I

223
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of awareness and most people are

224
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: taking it serious today. Um. And and so I would

225
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: hope that I do believe that the majority, the vast

226
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: majority of knives will take this seriously. And I think

227
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: I would have even as a young man, knowing that, um,

228
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: because now you're talking about, you know, me playing football

229
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: and me getting paid. I mean, it's my livelihood. I mean,

230
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: I remember, it's so funny. I talked to my wife

231
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: about this and and and you know, I was having

232
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: young kids back then when and I said, what would

233
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: we have done? I mean having young kids at home

234
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: and everything else like that, Um, would I have opted out?

235
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: You know, you know what would you? How would you handle?

236
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: And she looked at me. She says, you're not opting out.

237
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: You can stay in a hotel for six months and

238
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: take care of you. I mean, this is your job.

239
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what you're supposed to do. And

240
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: I go to work and I and I say that

241
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: you a little tongue in cheek, But but there is

242
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: I sense. And I haven't been around the team obviously

243
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: because we can, but I get a sense of just

244
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: reading and watching and this is the entire NFL. The

245
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: guys are taking this serious and they know they have

246
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: to be smart and if they're not, they're not only

247
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: gonna risk their own health, but they're gonna risk the

248
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: viability of another fifty three to fifty five guys have

249
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: getting paid to do a job, to play football. That

250
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: this is bigger than just them. So I think they'll

251
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: do it. But I also know for a fact there's

252
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: gonna be one or two knuckle heads out there. They're

253
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: gonna go do something stupid. I mean, that's just gonna happen.

254
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: That's gonna happen, you know, Johnny, That's kind of what

255
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: would be blacked them, sir, And is that, you know,

256
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: you can have of the guys all do it the

257
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: right way, and then you have one that doesn't, and

258
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: then it kind of messes it up for everybody else,

259
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: you know. So, I mean, heck, we saw the Seattle

260
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: Seahawks young player that tried to sneak a girl into

261
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: the hotel. I mean, are you kidding me? So, I

262
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: mean there's always gonna be a guy or a couple

263
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: of guys that just that they don't have a clue.

264
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: They're not very mature, they don't understand the gravity of

265
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: the situation or the magnitude of the situation, and certainly

266
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: they don't understand the economics that are at play in

267
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: this whole situation. So, you know, you hope that they

268
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: all take it seriously, and uh and I think most

269
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: of them do. So we'll just see if there's that

270
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: one or two guys that mess it up for the rest.

271
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: We'll go to Frank first on this one, and then Jeff, Frank,

272
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: you've been at a camp in most days. Big impression

273
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: so far, nothing COVID related on the field. Biggest impression

274
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: of JAG boards for a couple of weeks. I think

275
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna be fun. I really like the receiving corps.

276
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: It looks like Look for twenty five years there was

277
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: Jimmy and Keenan out of the gate, and then there

278
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: really hasn't been a very good receiving corps across the board.

279
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: I like these three guys, so you have something that

280
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: jumped off the page for me. John, I think it's

281
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: gonna be Chanal and Shark in Westbrook when he's healthy

282
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: in the spot. I like that group. I think they're

283
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. We'll see. They haven't always been a

284
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: fun team even when they've been good. Other than Jeff

285
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: and Tony's early years, they haven't been fun. The Jack

286
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: Doreal playoff team was a tough, physical team with Henderson

287
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: and and Stroud and might Peep, but they weren't a

288
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: fun team. The seven team team was fun because of defense,

289
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: but they weren't going up and down the field. I

290
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: think the team will throw it around a little bit,

291
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: so I think that that's caught my attention. The other thing,

292
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: John and I worry about the defensive front they've lost

293
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: nine guys nine if you counting Gogays holding out guys

294
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: that either opted out, got hurt, can't play because of

295
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: health reasons. Nine that's a lot of guys that they

296
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: thought would be in the rotation. Now they've replaced him

297
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: with Journey against some other guys, but that's a big number.

298
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: The biggest problem the team Handlins and you couldn't stop

299
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: to run, and I hope they can now. So I

300
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: love watching the receiver's work. I hope manjus as good

301
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: as everybody hopes it will be, because if he is,

302
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a fun offense. I worry about him

303
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: stopping the run, and that's kind of been and I

304
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: can't I'm not smart enough to tell that by watching practice,

305
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: but I know what the roster looks like. I hope

306
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: Devine Hamilton's ready because he's a big, physical catman. I

307
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: hope Shober can help with the run defense. So that's

308
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: kind of a good and a bad from how I

309
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: see it. Jeff, your thoughts in the defense first, Well,

310
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: I kind of chuckling there because Frank used the word hope.

311
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's a lot of I hopes in there,

312
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: and I think that's the reality that is in play

313
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars this year. You know, you hope that

314
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: they can be competitive, You hope that they can improve

315
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: throughout the season to be something because specifically you asked

316
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: about the defensive side of the ball. They lost so

317
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: many key components. You lost your two starting corners from

318
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: last year, guys up front, the linebacking court that played

319
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: very well last year, and now you're looking at some

320
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: of these gaping holes because of an opt out, because

321
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: of a forced retirement medical concern with Rodney Gunter. Uh,

322
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: Josh Morrow looking at a five game suspension. Who a

323
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: guy that might have been in play for having some

324
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: snaps at defensive end. You got a rookie corner on

325
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: one side, Trey Hernon on the other. Who still is

326
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: you know, kind of an unproven commodity. The play of

327
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: the safeties have been just kind of okay, okay. Cholbert's

328
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: coming in. I like him, but at the same token,

329
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: I don't think he had a great year last year.

330
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: And uh, and now Miles Jack is switching positions, which

331
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: you hope you know, there's that word again, hope. You

332
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: know that he's gonna be more comfortable at the week's

333
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: high position. So there's so many questions on defense and

334
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: there's not as many on offense, but there's still questions

335
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: on offense. I mean, is Mitshew capable of being a

336
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: starting caliber quarterback? You know last year he showed some

337
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: flashes and he could have an amazingly successful rookie year,

338
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: but he's got limitations physically with the height, the vision um,

339
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: the arm strength I think is in question. Last year

340
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: at times he left the pocket when he didn't have

341
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: to leave the pocket, but he did do some incredible

342
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: things when when the play broke down. So uh, a

343
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: lot of questions and I'm hopeful, to use that word,

344
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that they can be a competitive football team

345
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: this year. But make no mistake about it, They've never

346
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: used the term rebuild, but if you look at this

347
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: what they've done from the end of last year, with

348
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: the subtractions that they have had and the additions that

349
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: they've had, this is a team in an organization that

350
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: is in rebuild mode and rebuild modes and year one

351
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: typically can be tough. As Tony and Jeff this I've

352
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: been so impressed with the receivers and especially DJ shark Um.

353
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: How much of what you see in camp on that

354
00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: kind of thing can translate and a shark look so

355
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: good and the chemistry looks so good. But are we

356
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: seeing it against you know, coordinators, scheme in form. How

357
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: much can you trust what you're seeing now? I mean

358
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,239
Speaker 1: I think you can. You can trust that you know

359
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: what you see in da chart more than nathing because

360
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: he proved it last year. I mean, it's not like

361
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: because an anomaly. I mean the guy came out and

362
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: wasn't stud last year and he's picking up and have

363
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: a good, good camp. I mean, as I watched the

364
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: practice tape on the iPad, I mean, he's a guy

365
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: that you know, stands out like he looks like a

366
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: professional receiver. I don't know how many often we could

367
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: say that about guys. Um. I mean, I think it's

368
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: a receiving cords that is exciting but still has a

369
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: ton of questions to me. I mean, and I get

370
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: what um Frank can say. It's gonna be fun, but

371
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: like in my history, like I don't count on rookie

372
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: receivers really doing much. It's if you look historically, it's

373
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: a position that doesn't even top guys that have huge

374
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: years year one. I'm hoping to all does. But I

375
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: worry about if we were gonna be counting on him

376
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: as one of our top guys. Like, there's a lot

377
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: of stuff you have to prove there um and so

378
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: I think it means something. But this, I mean, just

379
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: to pick up a little bit on what Jeff said,

380
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: I mean this, if you look at this team, the

381
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: losses that they had and kind of the path they're going,

382
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful and I hope that things work out. But

383
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: let's just talk about the offense. We spent a lot

384
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: of time on the defense. John, We're looking at an

385
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: offensive line that everyone's back from last year, and I

386
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: don't think anyone right now would say that they were

387
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: a great offensive line last year. They struggled around the ball.

388
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: You know. At one point when the team decided to

389
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: go with Gardner Minshew over Nick Foles, the head coach said,

390
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: one of the reasons that they chose Gardner Minshew is

391
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: because he could extend plays and get out of trouble

392
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: they need. They needed somebody who could avoid the rush.

393
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: That's not a resounding like compliment as an offensive linement,

394
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: trust me, and so, but it's the same group. So

395
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: we are counting on that group to have gotten better. Now.

396
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: I think Cam Robinson looks good, looks strong, footworks better

397
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: than I've ever seen. So those are all positives. You

398
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: like the rookie tackle. I mean, so there's bits and

399
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: pieces there, But there are so many questions across the

400
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: board for this team. Um, it's gonna be really interesting.

401
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: And with no preseason, I'll circle all the way back

402
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 1: where you started. You asked about the receivers. I think

403
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: it's hard to tell what you're going to get because

404
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 1: the way they practiced day in the NFL and they

405
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: only have fourteen padded practices, it's limited, limited, limited, limited,

406
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: and guys are getting maintenance days that our second year players,

407
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: so it's limited reption. It's like, like, honestly, when I

408
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: heard that, like Josh Allen's getting in, Gardner Minshew had

409
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: maintenance days, I'm like, have they just been here like

410
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 1: a month? And Gardner Minshew is a guy who's in

411
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: a brand new offense with a brand new coordinator who

412
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: started ten games last year, and somehow we're gonna give

413
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: a day off like when he only has limited reps

414
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: and no preseason, Like I'm given that guy every rep,

415
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: like in the world. It wasn't like I think training

416
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: camp was four months with three days when you guys

417
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: played right based on the maintenance days. I promise you

418
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: we need have maintenance days. What was Conflin's version of

419
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: a maintenance stage? Ye? Uh, day off you have to

420
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: give you got was when you put the fifth on

421
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: the desk card and said you have to give the

422
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: players the day half. That's about it. It's surely people

423
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: will never understand the difference, but it's a It's amazing.

424
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: He spent ten years now and he still don't get

425
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: used to it. Hey, uh, Scar on the horn, I

426
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: want to have two final questions each, Frank, what do

427
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,239
Speaker 1: you need to see from Menshew this year to make

428
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: you nuts? What everybody wants to know? Jeff touched on

429
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: some liabilities. What do you got to see from him?

430
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: For me? Number one? I like a lot when I

431
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: see I think he's got a good arm, not a

432
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 1: great arm. He was very honest. He was on Serious

433
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,959
Speaker 1: NFL or Serious x M, and he said, look, I'm

434
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: never gonna have a plus arm by standards in this league,

435
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: and I agree with that. So he's a guy that's

436
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: gonna have to step into he's gonna have to have

437
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: a clean pocket or a moving one. He's gonna have

438
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: to be able to step into his throws. Um. He

439
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: can't be falling backwards and throw off his back foot

440
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: because he can't make depth through. There's some guys in

441
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 1: the league that can Russell Wilson gonna make depth throw

442
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: John I don't think he can make that, So he's

443
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: got to make the right choices. What I love is

444
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. I think he throws a

445
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: really accurate deep ball when he's got a clean pocket

446
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: and can kind of drop it off the table. So

447
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: he's got to prove to me that he understands those limitations.

448
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: I think he does do twenty one touchdowns only six

449
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: picks last year, but I want to see that he

450
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: can win from the pocket. I want to see that

451
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: they can create a pocket right, that they can be

452
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: a more conventional team. I know the game is different

453
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: now than some RPO and they're moving pockets more, but

454
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: you still gotta win an NFL game from the pocket.

455
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: So I want to see that it can look more traditional,

456
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: that he can be as effective in that pocket as

457
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: he was out of it last year. And I'd like

458
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: to see that earlier. I'm excited about the kid. I

459
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: William John. I know those limitations, but I think he's winner.

460
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: I think as respond to him. I think you can

461
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: sense that one day. I was out of practice last

462
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: week and I thought, uh, Juwan Taylor jumped and Mince

463
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: you really got on him about it been in a

464
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: positive way. Gosh, a year ago, the culture that team

465
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: was such that people be yelling at each other. Nobody.

466
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: He jumped, Michi goes, come on man and and it

467
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: was over. And that's what leaders do. They leave the

468
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: right way. So there's a lot I like about him.

469
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: He's got to play from a clean pocket, improved he

470
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: can win though the pocket. For me, that's Jeff. First,

471
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: tell me what the arm strength means the gardener can't

472
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: do and what I don't watch tape as much as

473
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: you do. What can't he do because of the arm

474
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: that concerns you? And then what do you need to

475
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: see from him this year? Well, I mean the windows

476
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: in the National Football League are small, and so sometimes

477
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: arms strength is gonna open that window up a little

478
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: bit more, you know, throwing and out, you know, So

479
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: arm strength gives you the entire field and it makes

480
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: coordinators play the entire field. Um, not having the arm strength?

481
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: What are my concerned? Well that then you know that

482
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: they don't play the whole field, you know. Can he

483
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: see the middle of the field? Can he throw the

484
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 1: past like Dan Marino would throw? I mean, looked Dan

485
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: Marino had an incredible arm, and not many people had

486
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: an arm like him. But there are certain times where

487
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: the arm strength is needed to where it's gonna squeeze

488
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,239
Speaker 1: that ball in there, you know. But but on the

489
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: other side of that, Johnny, there's been a lot of

490
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks in National Football League that have lived without

491
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: arm strengths, and they've been able to make up the

492
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: lack of arm strengths with the mental cootie. You know,

493
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: whether it been a Joe Montana who had a very

494
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: very average arm, and then you go all the way

495
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: to maybe one of the worst arms of the National

496
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: Football League, which was Chad Pennington. We used to joke

497
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: around that, we used to call lollipop on. I mean,

498
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: he couldn't throw a pass that was anywhere close to

499
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: parallel to the ground. I mean it looked like a

500
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: roller coaster, that big giant hill, you know, So can

501
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: he Gardner minshould do that. Absolutely he can do that,

502
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: but it's gonna take a lot of them, the mental anticipation,

503
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: the understanding of defense, and things of that nature to

504
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: where he's throwing way on time and way before time,

505
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: and hopefully we can see some of that he can

506
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: develop that. Tony, you see more quarterbacks up close than

507
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: any of us because of your Westwood One role. Uh,

508
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: what do you think of his chances compared to the

509
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: rest of these quarterbacks. Is he a guy that can

510
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: do this? Um, it's a great question. I'll be honest,

511
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ride the fence. I think it's too early.

512
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: The sample size is too small. I agree with everything

513
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: that you know. Jeff and Frank said, Um, you can

514
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: find uh, you can find out liars. You can find

515
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: guys that are similar that have had great um careers,

516
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: but they have they do something special that no one

517
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: else did. I mean, you could argue that Drew Brees

518
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: post rotator cuff never had the strongest armies similar size,

519
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: but Drew Brees is one of the greatest cockey at

520
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: little guy quarterbacks who sees things and anticipates things when

521
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't even see him going across the middle. Because

522
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: he knows right where everyone's gonna be. I mean, he

523
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: is uncanny, um. And so I think you to be

524
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: really good, you have to either have a really good

525
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: over the top of like a bunch of things, or

526
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: you have to be super special at something. And the

527
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: question is is what is that thing that Gardner is

528
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: super special? I don't know yet. Um. He's a great competitor.

529
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: I loved, loved what he did last year as a rookie. Um,

530
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: how he came in and just competed day in and

531
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: day out. But let's also not forget he let an

532
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: offense and scored twenty one points over seven games. In

533
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: the first half they were abysmal. Um. And so that

534
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: worries me. Uh And and so you look at the

535
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: whole thing, and the question I always asked, and I

536
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: think this is the question every franchise hasked to ask

537
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: themselves about that position. Is this a guy who will

538
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: help me hold up the Lambardi Trophy? And if he's not,

539
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: then you gotta go find that guy? Um. And right now,

540
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: would I bet everything that Gard's that guy. I don't

541
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: know how much money I put down that bed, um,

542
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: but I'm interested to see I'm not saying he can't

543
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: be because he has some special He has some interesting

544
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: things that I'm intrigued with. But um, as I think

545
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: about last year and is what I want to see,

546
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: and I've watched a little bit on tape. He put

547
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 1: throws a beautiful long ball. It's gorgeous, it's accurate. But

548
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: then times I watched, like the easy throws that they're

549
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: just supposed to be in rhythm across the middle or

550
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: the out I'm like, was the receiver at the wrong

551
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: level or did he just missed that bad um? If

552
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: his feet aren't set perfectly where everything's clean, can he

553
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 1: drive and make the hard throw? Um? You know, can

554
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: he do it on time? I think one of the

555
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: things what made him special last year is it was

556
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 1: the off schedule play. How how often did he sit

557
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: in the pocket, hit his fifth step, take the one

558
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: hitch and drive the ball where we're supposed to go.

559
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: Not a lot of times. There was a lot of

560
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: off schedule like fun things a call, and so I

561
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: think you had to do those things and then the

562
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: off schedule things be come the extra Um. I'm intrigued. Um.

563
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: I think the offensive lines you have to play well,

564
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:06,959
Speaker 1: they need to keep it clean back there for him,

565
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: I think they have to have a running game. Watching

566
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: the tape some practices, it looks like we've got it something,

567
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,719
Speaker 1: don't that's camp that can happen. Um. So those are

568
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: all things that go into it to me right now,

569
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: looking around the league, I just don't know. There's things

570
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: he does that I really like, and other times I'm

571
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: watching him like, huh, is that a guy that's gonna

572
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: help this organization hold up the Lombardi Trophy? And I

573
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: just don't know it. Johnny, can I jump in here

574
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: real quick? I want to make one comment because it

575
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: kind of kind of tails with what Tony is talking

576
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: about right there. The one thing I think that's real

577
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: hard even for me, and maybe it is for Tony

578
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: as well, is that, you know, typically this time of year,

579
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: we've got a couple of preseason games on the rough

580
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: belt to where we're comparing the play of player X

581
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: against other NFL caliber talent, you know, and sometimes when

582
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,479
Speaker 1: you continue to watch a guy and he's going against

583
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: the same guys all the time, it's hard to get

584
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: a gay just to where they're at, you know. So,

585
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: so I think it's a and I think that that

586
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: that's thing that the same exact things falls for the

587
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: people they're gonna be making the decision on the final

588
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: roster and the coaches that are gonna be choosing who's

589
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: going to be getting the most playing time, and that

590
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: a lot of the decisions that they're gonna be making,

591
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: whether it be for rosters or playing time or et cetera,

592
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: are gonna be made based on a lot of faith

593
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: because they haven't seen these players against other NFL caliber competition,

594
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: and it makes it extremely difficult to judge kind of

595
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: where individuals are at, and also in some cases where

596
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: a team is at very quickly. Each one of you

597
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: do we finished the season? And how did the Jaguars do? Frank?

598
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna play all sixteen games. I think

599
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: some teams could miss. But I don't think we're gonna

600
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: shut it down, you know. I think in the upside,

601
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: I think these guys said it it's a rebuilding year.

602
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: I think it's crazy to think they're gonna be a

603
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: tenor leven win team. I also don't think they're gonna

604
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: be as lousy as the Leak, thanks Sean, and gonna

605
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: win three or four games. So yeah, I think they

606
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: can win six having games and the ball bounces right

607
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 1: more than that. But I think it's a rebuild. It's

608
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: a lot there's not a lot of veteran elite players.

609
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: Most teams that have special years, there's some veteran elite

610
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: players on your roster, and when you and when you rebuild,

611
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: and when Boyer's gone and Calais has gone, the next

612
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: guy's gone, you don't have a lot of there's not

613
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: veteran elite players on here. There's young players who might

614
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,719
Speaker 1: become elite. So I think to your question, I think

615
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna finish the season. I think we're gonna get

616
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: them all in. Uh, someone may miss the game along

617
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: the way, but I don't think we're gonna pull the plug.

618
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: And I think the Jags, that the ball bounces right,

619
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: can can be a five dred team. Uh. And you're

620
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: one of what this rebuild is these guys are talking

621
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: about and um, but I don't think they're gonna be

622
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: a great team yet. And I don't think they're gonna

623
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: be as bad as the whole league fixture gonna be.

624
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: Jeff Dee finish and how did the Jags do? Uh? Boy,

625
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: let me let me break up my Johnny Carson crystal

626
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: ball and put on my Sammy hat here right. Uh yeah,

627
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: I think that sixth team will be played, and I've

628
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: say I'm very hopeful with that number. As far as

629
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: uh total wins, I'm probably right around five ish, you know.

630
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,479
Speaker 1: And and my my whole thought is with five is

631
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: is how does the five look? Because five can look

632
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: good and five can look bad. If if a football

633
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: team is looking like a team and rebuild note early

634
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: early in the season, and then all of a sudden

635
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: it starts playing closer football games and then it starts

636
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: winning games late in the season, you feel good about

637
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: five as far as a team that's rebuilding, and then

638
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: if all of a sudden, some way you can find

639
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: a way to get six or holy cow, seven, you'll

640
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 1: be like ecstatic. I mean, in my book, so I'm

641
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to be I don't want to say

642
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm a realist. I just think that boy, with all

643
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: the change that this organizations has gone through and with

644
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: the environment that it's had to function in. As with

645
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: all this change, I think it's an incredibly challenging year.

646
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: And if they can get to five six wins, I

647
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: think that that's a solid season. Seven I think would

648
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: be outstanding on an outstanding job by the coaching staff.

649
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: We'll close it out with the pride of Jaguars. Yeah,

650
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: lots be clear. You know Free keeps on saying those

651
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: guys say rebuilding here. I don't like that terminology because

652
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: that's not what we've heard coming into the season. The

653
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: part of the purpose was that this is a team

654
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: that could compete and win. And it's hard for me

655
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: and I think the fans struggle with that is saying, wait,

656
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: we were we want six games last year? Is how

657
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: do you rebuild on that? I mean, that's the hard

658
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: part where this organization is. And that's why I'm rooting

659
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: so hard for him because you know you want success

660
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: because you know you want it for Sean Kag you

661
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: wanted for Dave and Doug, and we wanted for the

662
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: player at the fans, I mean you want them to

663
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: be have success. Um. So with that said, Um, to

664
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: answer your question, I think we get sixteen in. I'm

665
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: fascinated what it looks like and because it's I don't

666
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: think it's a baseball where a team can miss a week,

667
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: then how do you reschedule? It's not like, hey, we're

668
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: gonna playing a double header next week, you know, and

669
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: figure that out. And so so I think you have

670
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: a regular season, and you're gonna have the playoffs, you

671
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: have a super Bowl. Does every team play fifty sixteen games?

672
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: Who knows? It's gonna be crazy? Um, And as far

673
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: as with the Jaguars schedule or win record record is

674
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: gonna be, I would hate to pick games this year

675
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:21,239
Speaker 1: because what happens week you know, Week one, you know,

676
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: the night before Philip Rivers gets you know, it's like, well,

677
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: I feel better about that game now. I mean, and

678
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: you just kind of go down the path and you

679
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: were counting on so many young players. And I said

680
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: this the other day. I'm like I could see this.

681
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: Soone asked, what's the ceiling for this team? Nine ten wins?

682
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: Like you're crazy, I said, okay, if Gardner Minshew is

683
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: who he showed as a rookie, and now all of

684
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: a sudden goes from one and ten to thirty two

685
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: and ten. And Leonard for Nette runs like his life

686
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: depends on it because he's in a contract here, which

687
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: we see all the time. And Caber obviously plays like

688
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: he's in a contract year and John Taylor takes a

689
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: step up and chart is for real, and you hit

690
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: on Sinalt and Tyler Iford's stays healthy. Oh, I like

691
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: this offense pretty good all of a sudden, And if

692
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is the record that we think he can

693
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: be watching him the practice he's dominant, and the run

694
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: young quarter Miles Jack figures out, you know, to rewind

695
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: the clock a few years. Well, now, all of a sudden,

696
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: this is a different team to me. And then you

697
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: have the wild uncertainty is about who's gonna be playing

698
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: weekend and week out because of COVID and testing everything else.

699
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Um, if you just looked at

700
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: it of their young it's a young team, a lot

701
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: of departures, you know, and holes in the defense. I mean,

702
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: I think like people who say nationally this is a

703
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: you know, three to five win team, I get um,

704
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: But in my gut, I think they find a win

705
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: a way to win six or seven. Here's my solution, Frank,

706
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: And you guys may have played at different ways. That is, Frank,

707
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,239
Speaker 1: maybe we were coming high school sports and they had

708
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: the spring jamber a quarter here, quarter a quarter. That's

709
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: how you all of it. Frank put them all in

710
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: a bubble and play jamble. We'll put them on the

711
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: bubble and floor. We love. One quarter is good. At

712
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: one quarter, I'm ready. I'm ready. It's called one quarter football.

713
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you, Johnny, it's funny, like we talked

714
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: about this, but to think how far we've come. And

715
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: I'll des send with this. I mean the fact that

716
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: thankfully we're talking about pointing football at all, because like

717
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: to your point a few months ago, and I'll say this,

718
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: I was in Tallahassee last week and watch the Florida

719
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: States seven all scrimmage and it was like a normal

720
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,479
Speaker 1: practice sitting the fan, and I'm like, wait a second,

721
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: like this is actually kind of exciting. It looks like,

722
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: you know, people playing football, and like I think we

723
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: can get there, and I'm hoping we do. And again

724
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: I'll just end it with hats off to the Players Association.

725
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: I think the leadership there at the union and the

726
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: UH Commissioner's office and all the owners I mean to

727
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: get give us a chance without making it a complete disaster.

728
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: I think, um, hopefully we'll get to play football this year.

729
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: It's off to all you guys. Tony Jeff Frank, I

730
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: can talk football to day with you. I appreciate you

731
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: joining me and we'll see you guys very soon, hopefully,

732
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: Faith to faith and making hands on debt. It's a

733
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: busy time of year. Everybody's a practice of hot so

734
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: I appreciate the five months that they gave is Dave.

735
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: I thought what was interesting. I think what you can

736
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 1: provide a lot of insight on when Frank and Jeff

737
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: were talking at the top of the podcast about what

738
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: the broadcast is going to sound like and what for

739
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: the people involved that he's yourself, it's gonna look like

740
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: take me to broadcast school, if you will, or engineer school.

741
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: What are you guys going through to get this thing

742
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: set up in a virtual world? Well, I mean it's

743
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: really taking a lot of effort, uh myself. Joe Fortunado,

744
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: who helps edit this podcast, he's also there's also our

745
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: manager of radio, so he's our producer on the radio

746
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: broadcast he's working on on Jason d and one of

747
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: our I T guys. He's also kind of a broadcast engineer.

748
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: Patrick Evanaugh. We're all kind of throwing throwing a lot

749
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: of stuff at the wall to make this happen. But

750
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: you know, the homebrew podcast is gonna be how it

751
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: is if you're not gonna know it's a different the

752
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: road broadcasts, so we're not traveling, so we're getting a

753
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: lot of different feeds from a lot of different places.

754
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: So right now we're working through with the NFL about

755
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: what feeds we get back, whether it's because to call

756
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: a game, you know, there's a lot more nuance, especially

757
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 1: for those analysts like Jeff and Tony about what they see.

758
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 1: So not being able to see the game and watching

759
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: matchups and stuff, it's gonna be tough for them and

760
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to adjust. So we're working on getting

761
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: feeds from those games into the stadium that we can

762
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: they can then watch. We're working through the NFL with that. Um.

763
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: You know, there's some stuff still going through. And then

764
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: the other thing too, something you probably don't think about,

765
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: is what about the crowd mix and what about what

766
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: what's piping through there? Um, So we have to that

767
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 1: has to get sent to us somehow. Um. And we're

768
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,439
Speaker 1: working through all that. And the funny part is is

769
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: the radio booth on road games is gonna move to

770
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 1: the TV booth here in our stadium. We're like Jim

771
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: Nance to Tony Romo would be if they were doing

772
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: a game here, because there's a lot of KM activity

773
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: in that room because they do the TV broadcasting there.

774
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: So we're kind of piggyback and off that room. And

775
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: we're actually this weekend and we're recording this on Friday.

776
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna go through and figure out what everybody wants,

777
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: how the boots gonna be set up, and Joe is

778
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: gonna gonna go through with those guys and and um

779
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: and you know the other part of it too, which

780
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: again it's another thing that Joe's ultimate concern, you know,

781
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: is how we're gonna see to go to commercial because

782
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: we can't just watch the broadcast and go to commercials

783
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: because because because you don't want to, we don't want

784
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: to miss a play. So you need as much time

785
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: to get enough heads up that hey, the broadcast is

786
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 1: going to commercials. So and normally for you this is

787
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: kind of inside football. There's a guy on the field.

788
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: He usually has the big orange gloves. If you ever

789
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: come to a jazz game, you see a guy waving

790
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: his arms across his arms with big orange gloves on. Well,

791
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: he's telling the TVs and the radio is doing the

792
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: broadcast that hey we're going to commercial break. He's kind

793
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 1: of the go between the rest and the TV truck.

794
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's a lot that goes into it and

795
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of time to solve it. And

796
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,959
Speaker 1: luckily for us, are first road game is is week two,

797
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: so it gives us a little extra week two to

798
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 1: figure things out. But it's just kind of a little

799
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: inside football. I think it's all interesting, especially in this

800
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: year of it just seems like I always describe it,

801
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: it's like everything's like hard and it takes time to

802
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: figure out. And the other thing too, is I've been

803
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: kind of saying, is in our broadcast world, it's even

804
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: doing this podcast right, it's we're doing it over zoom.

805
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: We're not doing it in a studio. It'd be a

806
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: lot easier if you and I were both out of

807
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: Mike recording it. We go and edit it real quick.

808
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 1: Now we're doing this over zoom, and it doesn't sound

809
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 1: as good. But it's like the situation, what the world is?

810
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: I think with everything, it's like nothing, no situation is

811
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: gonna be ideal. It's how to make it as good

812
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: as you can, right, I think we talked about this,

813
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: probably after a podcast. I don't know that we actually

814
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: talked about it on the year, so to speak. But

815
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,720
Speaker 1: I recall asking you a few months ago what this

816
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: world would have been like, I mean, what our work

817
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: would have been like. How would have done our jobs?

818
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: You talk about it not being perfect, but it's so

819
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: far ahead of where we would have been ten years ago.

820
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's can you imagine trying to do the

821
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 1: job bringing fans the content? You know, you can make

822
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: an argument that there are a lot of things about

823
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: the NFL that when the fans watch us, the way

824
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: the fans consume the information maybe hasn't changed that much

825
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 1: except they're looking at us in boxes rather than when

826
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: Brian and Ashley and I are doing drivetime. We're in

827
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: boxes now rather than on a desk. But beyond that,

828
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: a lot of coverage, even the draft many camp, what

829
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 1: we bring them hasn't changed. Boy, that wouldn't have been

830
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: the case ten years ago. Dave, No, it would not

831
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: have been. I mean, the skypes and the zooms and

832
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: the you know, everything else that that's at our disposal

833
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: out makes things a lot easier. And the biggest thing

834
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: is like using the best tools you can and then

835
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: figure out how to implement them into what you do.

836
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: It's relatively easy for you and I to get on

837
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: a zoom call or for me to get a player

838
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: on a zoom call and do an interview. But zoom

839
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: calls don't solve broadcast issues. For the most part. This

840
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: is a different game. You guys are playing and trying

841
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: to bring a game live and fans. Yeah, it is.

842
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: It is a much different issue. Um. And also there's

843
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,439
Speaker 1: a little bit of you know, there's the television rights

844
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: deals that you know, the NFL has to figure out

845
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 1: how to give us a secure, um, a secure feed

846
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: of the game. Um. And depending on those views like

847
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: the All twenty two camera, I mean that's for coaches

848
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: and stuff. Um. And they don't want that getting out

849
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: or any way to see that. So you know, that's

850
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: also another hurdle that you have to kind of get over. UM.

851
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: You know. A lot of it too, is is with

852
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,479
Speaker 1: Frank and Jeff and Tony is they got to figure

853
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: out personal preferences, what they want to see, what helps

854
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: them the most, what doesn't work for them. Um. You know,

855
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 1: it's just and also there's no preseason and tested, tested,

856
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: out either. Fans talk about preseason games for players, but

857
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:23,760
Speaker 1: probably preseason might be bigger in terms of preparing for

858
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: the entire NFL infrastructure of fans, broadcasts, et cetera. Players

859
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: and coaches sort of know what they're gonna do and

860
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: they're gonna go out there in the field and do it.

861
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 1: But a preseason for people who are running game experience

862
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 1: for you guys, that's when you figure out the nuts

863
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: and bolts details of it and guess what dave you're

864
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: doing that live this year. No, And that's the other

865
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: thing too, is you know, when we cover a game

866
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: and we shoot a game, we gotta figure out how

867
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: to do it differently because now there's all these protocols

868
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: and rules and we're gonna be shooting from different spots

869
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: and in the stands and and we've never done that,

870
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: and we're trying to figure that out, um, kind of

871
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: in theory, not in practice. And then even same with

872
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: if you take it outside of our world. I mean,

873
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: we have all these new protocols for fans to come

874
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: in the stadium, where it's taking temperatures, questionnaire, wearing masks,

875
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: how we're paying for food. I mean, you know there's

876
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 1: not gonna be cash in the stadium, exchanging hands. So

877
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: it's a new app based system. We're ordering food, You're

878
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: not just you're not coming in, you know, tenements before kickoff,

879
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: running up the ramps and sitting down in your seat anymore.

880
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 1: Fans have to learn that. Events staff has to learn that.

881
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: And that's the one thing where we missed preseason this year,

882
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: especially how the world is different. You know, preseason is

883
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: always the dress rehearsal because there's not as many people here,

884
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: so it's easy to try to work out those kinks.

885
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: So it'll be Week one will be interesting. You know. Again,

886
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be ideal, but we'll get through it. Well,

887
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: history shows us anything, especially the broadcast end out, I

888
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: can speak with confidence it won't be perfect, but it

889
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: will be very very good because the Jaguars broadcasting will

890
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: pull it off. And part of that Jaguars broadcast team.

891
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: Segueing to the end here, Dave is Joe Fortunado, who

892
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: again I want to thank for always making this sound good.

893
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: Daved Campas for making me look better than I actually am.

894
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: It's sound bay than I actually am. I For those

895
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: of you who are interested in how the Jaguars broadcast,

896
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 1: get to the fans and the Jaguars broadcasters feel about

897
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: the team. I don't think this one sucked at all.

898
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: We'll try better next week. Thanks for joining us.
