Speaker 1: It's Thursday, March one. This is Jaguars Happy Hour and
Speaker 1: now you better listen or he could come to your
Speaker 1: house and slap you. J P. Shadrick, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Welcome in Jaguars Happy Hour on a Thursday afternoon. I
Speaker 1: am j P. Shadrick. We've got a busy program is
Speaker 1: always on Thursday. Jaguars analyst Jeff log him and joining us.
Speaker 1: We'll get some highlights from the NFL annual meeting. We'll
Speaker 1: hear from Jags owner's shot con and head coach Doug Peterson.
Speaker 1: Logs has been looking at the film of some of
Speaker 1: these top draft prospects. Will get his results of the
Speaker 1: film session, what he thinks about some of the top
Speaker 1: names will go around the National Football League. A lot
Speaker 1: of news continues free agency, of course, couple of weeks
Speaker 1: in and some changes. A coaching change last night in
Speaker 1: the NFL and the NFC South. All that coming up. Logs,
Speaker 1: good afternoon to you. What's up? Good? It's all good man.
Speaker 1: By the way, you were over here watching some film
Speaker 1: with me today too, A little bit, very little bit,
Speaker 1: not as much as you were, but will let me
Speaker 1: peek over your shoulder, you know, the only reason that
Speaker 1: the JP wanted to watch was, first of all, the
Speaker 1: h when you watch a University of Georgia Alabama game
Speaker 1: and you turn on whether you're Alabama's offensive side of
Speaker 1: their defensive side against Georgia. Okay, the number of prospects
Speaker 1: that are on the tape at one time is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: So you could actually be doing your scouting for the
Speaker 1: current year and your advanced scouting for a future years
Speaker 1: by watching some of the prospects that are that are
Speaker 1: playing for both of those ball clubs. It's incredible. We'll
Speaker 1: get some of your results of that film watching coming up.
Speaker 1: And just a little bit here on Jaguars Happier. We've
Speaker 1: got another Twitter poll today. Logs know this week you
Speaker 1: were enamored by that. That was kind of weak in
Speaker 1: my opinion week week. Okay, this one after player editions
Speaker 1: the past two weeks, what's the greatest area of need
Speaker 1: for the Jags heading into April? Very good question. The
Speaker 1: options were wide receiver, pass rush, offensive line, or other
Speaker 1: pass rush. We've got two two votes so far. This
Speaker 1: came up about midday today. Percent say wide receiver, thirty
Speaker 1: three percent say pass rush eighteen percent, offensive line three
Speaker 1: other I'm a little biased torch show. I would say
Speaker 1: that's at at J P. Shadrick. Yes, Son Twitter there.
Speaker 1: If you have that on your part, I will I'll
Speaker 1: pull up my Twitter account instantly and vote in the
Speaker 1: next break. Well, we'll update that again before the show
Speaker 1: is over today, of course we'll have on tin to
Speaker 1: I am Jaguars dot com, Jaguars Twitter, Facebook, and Jaguars YouTube.
Speaker 1: Let's skip to the NFL Annual Meeting review. This is
Speaker 1: one of the very few times each year the Jaguars
Speaker 1: owners shot con is on the record at certain points.
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com senior writer John Osier had the exclusive
Speaker 1: with the Jags owner this week of the Breakers in
Speaker 1: Palm Beach talking about the workplace environment for the Jaguars
Speaker 1: after the changes. Literally a lot of open discussion on
Speaker 1: where our weaknesses is are, where our opponents weaknesses might be,
Speaker 1: and where the strenths off and how do we develop
Speaker 1: it uh and turn it into really a winning program.
Speaker 1: The full conversation available on Jaguars dot Com and Jags
Speaker 1: social media. And he's he said this a few times
Speaker 1: in the interview logs. He's been here ten years now,
Speaker 1: He's had a few different operating flow charts if you
Speaker 1: will write different iterations of that. And you know, hiring
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson in now at Trent ball Key at least
Speaker 1: said it on the interview. He feels like it's a
Speaker 1: good start in the right direction. You just gotta go
Speaker 1: produced now that's the next I mean, look, everybody feels
Speaker 1: great about where your program is in March, okay, but
Speaker 1: the work has a has only just begun and there's
Speaker 1: a lot of work left to do. So uh, I
Speaker 1: don't think any proclamations need to be made or statements
Speaker 1: made about how great things are now, you know, because
Speaker 1: the results speak for themselves when the games start being played.
Speaker 1: Because oh, by the way, they keep count, you know.
Speaker 1: So this football team's got a long long way to go,
Speaker 1: uh to to getting this program headed in the right directions.
Speaker 1: When I say that, I mean I'm talking about visible
Speaker 1: visible from a from a fan perspective and from a
Speaker 1: perspective that's being viewed from the outside because nobody's seeing
Speaker 1: what's going on in the inside, and nobody cares. People
Speaker 1: care about when it's time to play games and and
Speaker 1: they're they're keeping score and then keeping a record count.
Speaker 1: So the reality is the team is four games in
Speaker 1: two years last time I checked. That's not a lot.
Speaker 1: So you know, a lot of work to do, and uh,
Speaker 1: you like what they've done in free agency, but at
Speaker 1: the same token, you also spend a lot of money
Speaker 1: to get that accomplished, and that's not exactly what you
Speaker 1: wanted to do. You'd like to be able to, uh
Speaker 1: do what Trent Balky talked about what the ultimate goal is,
Speaker 1: which is having a strong roster to where you're working
Speaker 1: on second contracts and then just supplementing your roster with
Speaker 1: a few guys here and there, instead of going out
Speaker 1: and paying top dollar and free agency or overpaying guys
Speaker 1: and free agency to get the productivity that you need
Speaker 1: to be to be a decent football team. And that's
Speaker 1: where this program is at right now, and you hope
Speaker 1: that in the future it gets to the point where
Speaker 1: it's it's self sustainable. When I mean self sustainable is
Speaker 1: that you're just continuing to reload with the draft picks
Speaker 1: that you have. Because even though the Rams want a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, Okay, how many other our teams have been
Speaker 1: able to do what the Rams did and win a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Kind of the first to really go all
Speaker 1: in like that recently. I mean, look at the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Bucks did it because they got the greatest of
Speaker 1: all time playing quarterback. But oh, by the way, that
Speaker 1: was a stacked roster prior to Tom Brady arriving. Tom
Speaker 1: doesn't play defense last night, I mean a stacked ross.
Speaker 1: They're pretty good on defense. So uh yeah, this team
Speaker 1: got some work due to get to that point. So
Speaker 1: the full conversation was shot kind of available on Jaguars
Speaker 1: dot Com from earlier this week. You know who also
Speaker 1: spoke in Palm Beach this week the a f C
Speaker 1: Coaches Breakfast Monday, Doug Peterson met with the media. They're
Speaker 1: plenty to cover. We're gonna start now on the offensive
Speaker 1: line though it's a big focus this week. There's been
Speaker 1: a lot of change since we last spoke logs. Of course,
Speaker 1: Brandon Linder calls it a career after eight seasons. There's
Speaker 1: a question mark there. Now they do have Tyler Shatley.
Speaker 1: There a lot of conversation about right tackle and a
Speaker 1: battle coming up for that position in the offseat some
Speaker 1: program and training camp, but Cam Robinson that story is
Speaker 1: still out there as well. Franchise tagged and Doug Peterson
Speaker 1: asked about the veteran left tackle earlier this week. It's
Speaker 1: hard to find really, really good left tackles in this league. Um,
Speaker 1: and we feel like Cam it's one of those good tackles.
Speaker 1: And Uh, we're just fortunate to be able to, you know,
Speaker 1: franchise him, keep him, keep him here, hopefully work out
Speaker 1: a long term deal with him, so he's around more
Speaker 1: than just a year. Um. But but keeping that and
Speaker 1: knowing his experience and knowing his expertise really made it
Speaker 1: easy for us to keep him around. That's earlier this week.
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson the full conversation, the full press conference on
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com. Also, so, I mean they're working on
Speaker 1: a long term deal with Cam and then as we said,
Speaker 1: there's some other question marks. There's still a lot to
Speaker 1: be determined on this offensive line. The interesting thing is
Speaker 1: that where is that number gonna be at for a
Speaker 1: long term contract, because if you look at the tackle
Speaker 1: that Uh played for the Saints that hit the market, Umstead, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Taron Armstead, Uh, the contract that he got. I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people were surprised that it wasn't higher
Speaker 1: than what it was when you looked at that contract,
Speaker 1: you know, want, wow, if the Jaguars can can do
Speaker 1: the same with Cam Robinson. That may be okay, but
Speaker 1: Armstead has been hurt a lot. Thrown Armstead by the way,
Speaker 1: five years, seventy five million dollars with the Dolphinstree guaranteed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's uh wild if you can get something
Speaker 1: in that range for for Cam Robinson. But I mean
Speaker 1: as Cam Robinson what Tarn Armstad is. But Cam has
Speaker 1: been healthier. I mean, so there's a little bit of
Speaker 1: a debate there. But uh uh, I've said this before
Speaker 1: about I I think it would be awesome if you
Speaker 1: could have had can be a right tackle and you
Speaker 1: can find a way to put somebody at left tackle.
Speaker 1: But look, Cam's a solid left tackle. Is he a
Speaker 1: great left tackle? No? Is he a solid left tackle? Yes?
Speaker 1: Does it prevent you from having to go out maybe
Speaker 1: try to fulfill that that position and free agency or
Speaker 1: with the draft because you'd like to be able to
Speaker 1: create some competition at right tackle. So I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: it solved a lot of the issues. But I think
Speaker 1: the interesting thing the news of the day for me
Speaker 1: was that there's a competition at right tame about that
Speaker 1: right so Juwan Taylor, he spoke highly of Julan, but said, hey,
Speaker 1: Walker is gonna go in there. They're gonna compete in
Speaker 1: the offseason program and in training camp. So get your
Speaker 1: uh you know, get your binoculars ready for Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be fun right now. I think that that's, uh,
Speaker 1: that's needed. I said that before that the right tackle
Speaker 1: position needs competition, and I didn't know that they would
Speaker 1: do that with the draft pick, uh you know, from
Speaker 1: last year. I thought maybe they uh, you know, but
Speaker 1: here's the thing people have to be on board with
Speaker 1: where they're playing at. Jowan Taylor needs competition. You know.
Speaker 1: We were kind of surprised a little bit when we
Speaker 1: had the informal kind of Q and A with a
Speaker 1: coach and general manager with the local media, and when
Speaker 1: the question was asked by John Reed about Juan Taylor,
Speaker 1: kind of very stern response was given about how much
Speaker 1: they liked Joan Taylor, and I was kind of a
Speaker 1: little bit surprised because I mean, look, I know you
Speaker 1: want to back your players, but at the same token,
Speaker 1: Joan Taylor needs to play better. Well. I think that
Speaker 1: message was clearly sent this week at the owner's meeting
Speaker 1: that there's going to be competition at the right tackle
Speaker 1: because there needs to be and then at center, Brandon
Speaker 1: Lender out what happens there. I mean you normally most
Speaker 1: before we start talking about what what's gonna happen. Now,
Speaker 1: I think we gotta congratulate him. Brandon Lender on an
Speaker 1: exceptional career, even though he has had some injury issues
Speaker 1: which prohibited from playing full season for this football team.
Speaker 1: You talk about a really good football player that when
Speaker 1: he was on the field, he was arguably the best
Speaker 1: lineman on the field for the Jaguars, not to mention
Speaker 1: a top quality guy who did things the right way
Speaker 1: and he was a total pro and uh, and I
Speaker 1: got a lot of respect for him because of the
Speaker 1: way he's always gone about his business. Because he played
Speaker 1: in an era that only had one really good season.
Speaker 1: But Brandon Lenner came to work every offseason, came into
Speaker 1: the season and was the best at his best from
Speaker 1: a physical standpoint, and did everything that he needed to
Speaker 1: do to prepare for a season. So I have a
Speaker 1: lot of respect for Brandon Lennter. So congratulations to him.
Speaker 1: But you know you said it too. He missed forty
Speaker 1: one games in eight seasons. That is a lot of
Speaker 1: time off to the side. But and and I think
Speaker 1: that wears on you, obviously physically because you're getting banged up,
Speaker 1: but mentally too. You're trying to go out there. If
Speaker 1: he's that much of a professional, which he is, you
Speaker 1: want to be out there playing and having to rehab
Speaker 1: all the time. And and then you're thinking about the
Speaker 1: future after football too. Well, it's time. And look, I'm
Speaker 1: obviously maybe a little bit slanted in the opinion of
Speaker 1: Brandon Lennard because I mean, I'm a friend, he's a
Speaker 1: friend of and uh, I like Brandon, and and was
Speaker 1: trading text with him after the announcement was made. I
Speaker 1: actually was trading some text with him beforehand, saying, hey,
Speaker 1: did you figure out your football life? And and he
Speaker 1: just said, I'm still working on it. And I said, well,
Speaker 1: if you know, best of luck with it and all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And so anyway, when he even
Speaker 1: made the announcement, I said, you know, congratulations to him.
Speaker 1: You know, he had he's got eight years in Uh,
Speaker 1: he did very well. He made good money playing in
Speaker 1: the National Football League and uh, and I'm sure that
Speaker 1: he saved some of that money. But you know, there
Speaker 1: there comes a point, I think in every player's career
Speaker 1: that when you start having injuries, because I went through
Speaker 1: some of the same things, that when you start having injuries,
Speaker 1: you have to start away what's worth it? Okay you
Speaker 1: because you know, look, the money is always great, I
Speaker 1: mean know, and and if it's just a question about money,
Speaker 1: you're gonna keep playing until you get kicked out because
Speaker 1: the money is incredible in the National Football League. But
Speaker 1: but the the questions and the answers and the solutions
Speaker 1: are always more about money. It's about health. It's about
Speaker 1: a way of life. It's about making sure that there
Speaker 1: are certain components of your physical and mental well being
Speaker 1: that are going to be intact for the remainder of
Speaker 1: your life. And so I think he made the best
Speaker 1: decision for him. I wish him all the best. I
Speaker 1: know he's not going anywhere. He's a huge fan of Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be in Jacksonville for for a long period
Speaker 1: of time. And and I'm looking forward to maybe doing
Speaker 1: some things with Brandon, you know, because he's gonna have
Speaker 1: the time to do it. I was gonna say I
Speaker 1: have a feeling Brandon might make an appearance on The
Speaker 1: Outdoor Show from already been worked on. Yeah, it already is.
Speaker 1: It's already already been worked on exactly. He's gonna become
Speaker 1: a media darling all of a sudden. He wasn't all
Speaker 1: into it all the time here, right, he was. Brandon
Speaker 1: was always very good, you know, but when he was on,
Speaker 1: he was great. He wasn't always on, which is good.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you can't like it too much,
Speaker 1: but yeah, congratulations episode. Where did they go from here?
Speaker 1: First of all, you you have a really good player
Speaker 1: that I've said for the last couple of years that
Speaker 1: somebody needs to realize that Tyler Shatley's a starting center
Speaker 1: in this in this league. You know, then there's other
Speaker 1: options to look. Uh, Iowa has a really good center. Uh.
Speaker 1: His name is linder Ball And he's not a big guy.
Speaker 1: He's a smaller statured center the six to range. And
Speaker 1: so when you watch film on him, like god, the
Speaker 1: guy looks pretty small, but he's a really good football player.
Speaker 1: He's uh, he's nasty, he finishes, he's uh, he's very aware.
Speaker 1: He's a you can tell that when he plays the game.
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy, the guy's he's a football junkie
Speaker 1: the way he plays the game. And so could he
Speaker 1: be a possibility for the Jaguars and around two maybe
Speaker 1: you know, you never know, I mean round one, probably
Speaker 1: not round two, round three. I think he's a strong possibility.
Speaker 1: Question to you don't know where he's gonna end up.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think the one thing about Linderball
Speaker 1: is that you know he's a he's a Since he's
Speaker 1: a six two offensive lineman, I think that's gonna push
Speaker 1: him down a little bit in the draft because you know, look,
Speaker 1: if he's six three, six three and a half six four,
Speaker 1: I mean he's a first round pick lock, you know,
Speaker 1: but six two centers, I mean, look that that that's
Speaker 1: not exactly a lot of people's favorite measurement when it
Speaker 1: comes to height weight. But he's a good football player.
Speaker 1: A little later, we'll hear more from Doug Peterson on
Speaker 1: what he's seen on tape from quarterback Trevor Lawrence so far.
Speaker 1: But up next, Aiden Hutchinson and Evan Neil, we get
Speaker 1: into the film room with you, Jeff, and we'll break
Speaker 1: down some of the top prospects in the draft. In two.
Speaker 1: We're often running at Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars
Speaker 1: Digital Network. Welcome back at Jaguars Happy Hour on a
Speaker 1: Thursday afternoon. Then there's no better time to become a

Speaker 1: wonder if he got an upgraded couch since I think
Speaker 1: if they just recovered it in like a goal Yeah,
Speaker 1: like a gold fabric. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we probably Well, she got three back cushions and and
Speaker 1: they put these big patches on there. They sowed them in,
Speaker 1: you know, on one cushion that says h and the
Speaker 1: next one says oh, and then the next one it
Speaker 1: says f okay, and then on the on the on
Speaker 1: the front down more the seat is at it just
Speaker 1: says bo Smellie seventy one right, perfect, perfect. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: need to make a phone call. We gotta see we
Speaker 1: can you know, get temporary use of it maybe. Right.
Speaker 1: So the first concerts next Friday. That means we're just
Speaker 1: a few weeks away from the NFL Draft starting, which
Speaker 1: is amazing about that. So one to three four weeks
Speaker 1: from tonight is the first round of the NFL Draft. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been watching a little bit of film. You know,
Speaker 1: I try to take, you know, watch a couple of
Speaker 1: guys every day, and and I'm probably about twenty guys
Speaker 1: into the draft, you know, and I'll get to about
Speaker 1: a hundred guys, you know, somewhere that ranged by the
Speaker 1: time the draft rolls around, because I know, we do
Speaker 1: a draft show and and to be a little bit
Speaker 1: conversing on some of these guys. And then after the
Speaker 1: draft and you know, you really start looking at every
Speaker 1: piece of film that there is on the Jaguars draft picks.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna ask you this just kind of big
Speaker 1: picture general about your film watching habits. What do you
Speaker 1: look for? Do you have a checklist of things you
Speaker 1: want to see from a certain position, group or player,
Speaker 1: or do you just look at it in general to
Speaker 1: see if he can move or or do you just
Speaker 1: kind of have a blank slate and say what he
Speaker 1: can do after you watch it? Typically? How I do it?
Speaker 1: I first of all, I have like a website that
Speaker 1: that has an unofficial ranking that you know, that might
Speaker 1: be Sporting News or it might be CBS, or might
Speaker 1: be you know, Draft knicks, you know website or whatever.
Speaker 1: So then I just have that list and so then
Speaker 1: I kind of worked down through the prospects and then
Speaker 1: I also what I do is that when I watch
Speaker 1: a particular game, then you try to watch other prospects
Speaker 1: at the same time. So like when you watch you know,
Speaker 1: I'll bring up the University of Georgia. You know, there's
Speaker 1: there's essentially three or four guys that you can watch
Speaker 1: along the defensive line alone. You know, that's just with
Speaker 1: the defensive line, but you know, that's what you always
Speaker 1: try to focus in because I want to watch the
Speaker 1: end zone copy and you're watching that position group, and
Speaker 1: then if you can watch the the competition on the
Speaker 1: other side, if there's a really good offensive lineman while
Speaker 1: you're watching a Georgia defensive line play against Alabama, then
Speaker 1: obviously you can watch Evan Neil. So there's some advantages
Speaker 1: to kind of getting to know who the prospects are
Speaker 1: first before you start watching film, because then that way
Speaker 1: you can find out who I should be watching when
Speaker 1: the game is up. But but no, I mean there's
Speaker 1: no really, there's not a whole lot of rhymeries. You know,
Speaker 1: you kind of go down the list and maybe you
Speaker 1: might watch a group, you might watch defensive ends one
Speaker 1: day the next day you might watch the quarterback class,
Speaker 1: which I haven't started to get into because they're ranked
Speaker 1: a little bit farther down and the pecking order the
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. I've watched the top four guys, five guys there,
Speaker 1: because that's a pretty good group, and uh, I think
Speaker 1: there's some talent there. I Like I said last week,
Speaker 1: I really liked the guy at NC State. I think
Speaker 1: he's a really good football player, and I think he
Speaker 1: would have some positional flexibility to play at the guard
Speaker 1: spot before eventually maybe in and up a tackle. Let's
Speaker 1: let's you said you watched a good amount so far,
Speaker 1: not the whole list of guys are gonna watch. So
Speaker 1: let's let's start with four today, and these are four
Speaker 1: names that have really been mocked the Jags the most
Speaker 1: of any. We'll start on defense with Aidan Hutchinson from Michigan.
Speaker 1: You might have heard of him. He the Heisman finalist,
Speaker 1: and you know, um, he's the guy that a lot
Speaker 1: of people still feel and even more strongly now after
Speaker 1: the free agency world has happened that the Jags could
Speaker 1: go number one with There's absolutely nothing not to like
Speaker 1: about him. Seriously, I mean, this guy, he does it all.
Speaker 1: He first off, he's got the height, weight, the measurables
Speaker 1: all line up where you want it to be. He
Speaker 1: is as far as a football player goes. He's got
Speaker 1: great motor, I mean a great motor and great conditioning level.
Speaker 1: And so those boxes all kind of check. And now productivity,
Speaker 1: the productivity is off the scal did you have like
Speaker 1: nineteen sacks when he was at Michigan. But when you
Speaker 1: watch him play the game, it's a lot of the
Speaker 1: things that he does when he's not sacking the quarterback
Speaker 1: that make you go wow. He's strong at the point
Speaker 1: of attack. He has a great finish, He plays with
Speaker 1: great leverage. He uh, he finishes with great closing speed.
Speaker 1: One knock that I would say, if you compare him
Speaker 1: to some of the other number one overall picks that
Speaker 1: have happened from that defensive end slash linebacker position, like
Speaker 1: a Clowney or a Miles Garrett, He's not that type
Speaker 1: of athlete, but he's so productive it's hard to to
Speaker 1: to knock him for not being that type of an athlete.
Speaker 1: I mean, but because because I can tell you if
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, if you if if you compared Myles Garrett
Speaker 1: as a prospect when he was coming out and you
Speaker 1: look at Hutchinson, you would take Myles Garrett all day long.
Speaker 1: Sure you would. Yeah, maybe because you superior effic Yeah,
Speaker 1: different superior. He's one of those guys that's just a freak.
Speaker 1: But Aiden Hutchinson is a freak from the standpoint of
Speaker 1: highly productive t J. Watt. You know how t J.
Speaker 1: Watt just finishes that. He's always not always most the
Speaker 1: athletic person, but his moves just work. Kind of that
Speaker 1: kind of a player. But I think he's He's got
Speaker 1: a bigger physical skill set than I think t J.
Speaker 1: Watt so uh So, I think he's a really good
Speaker 1: football player, and I think the Jaguars will not go
Speaker 1: wrong at all picking him first overall. Now, let's move
Speaker 1: along to another player that we were watching earlier today
Speaker 1: before the show, and a name that has popped up
Speaker 1: on some of these mock drafts at number one on
Speaker 1: on defense, and it's Trayvon Walker from Georgia defensive lineman
Speaker 1: who became a full time starter this past season. He
Speaker 1: had some spot starts in in the couple of seasons
Speaker 1: before that, but he worked his way into the regular
Speaker 1: starting lineup last season. On a really good Georgia defensive
Speaker 1: line across the board. Uh, where is this coming from? Walker?
Speaker 1: All of a sudden is moving up boards here and
Speaker 1: he had a great combine. That's part of the reason. Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, he is a good football player from
Speaker 1: the standpoint of he makes plays and he's strong. He
Speaker 1: he has positional flexibility. He weared uh. He wears number
Speaker 1: forty four and at the University of Georgia, he was
Speaker 1: for the most part a three point and a lot
Speaker 1: of time four point because he gets in his four
Speaker 1: point stands when he plays defensive end. But then he
Speaker 1: also kicked down. He played defensive tackle the three technique.
Speaker 1: He also performed as a stand up linebacker. He is strong,
Speaker 1: his hands are extremely powerful. He gets really good leverage.
Speaker 1: The only negative I would say is that if people
Speaker 1: are looking at him to maybe be a stand up
Speaker 1: outside linebacker, I don't really see that in him. I
Speaker 1: think he's a defensive end and a guy that can
Speaker 1: can kick down on the inside and be an inside
Speaker 1: pass rusher as a as a three technique. But I
Speaker 1: really like him. He's not a polished pass rusher like
Speaker 1: Adan Hutchinson, has a lot of really good moves okay,
Speaker 1: And when you watch Trayvon Walker, he's still trying to
Speaker 1: figure that out, but he's still effective because he's big, strong,
Speaker 1: and he's got a great finish to him. That's the
Speaker 1: thing I think that might be one of the most
Speaker 1: impressive things is that he finishes so much better than
Speaker 1: his teammate that we were watching a little bit. Jordan Davis,
Speaker 1: who some people think are he is off the charts
Speaker 1: because he's big and strong and can run fast. But
Speaker 1: when you watch the film, where's the finish? That's what
Speaker 1: I keep saying. I watch Jordan Davis, where's the finish?
Speaker 1: And for those who may not understand what finish actually means,
Speaker 1: what does that mean in layman? It's a good question because,
Speaker 1: for example, when you watch Trayvon Walker, he he he
Speaker 1: engages with the block and then he's got instincts to
Speaker 1: know where the ball is going. So he's getting rid
Speaker 1: of the block and then accelerating towards the ball and
Speaker 1: whether he gets there or not, at least he's going
Speaker 1: he's headed that way. Okay. When you watch Jordan Davis
Speaker 1: sometimes he's a you know, six ft sixty pound man
Speaker 1: that ran an unbelievable Okay, but when you turn on
Speaker 1: the tape, you sit there and you go, well, you
Speaker 1: wouldn't know that he would run fast because he doesn't
Speaker 1: run a lot. When he's on the field. He kind
Speaker 1: of have stalemates on blocks and then he doesn't shut
Speaker 1: the block, and then he's not pursuing whether he gets
Speaker 1: there or not. And I think that's one of the
Speaker 1: things that would prohibit me from sitting there even considering
Speaker 1: him for a top five pick, because where's the finished
Speaker 1: And I made the comment to you, j P. Look,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna pick somebody in the top ten, he
Speaker 1: can't be a guy that the University of Georgia was
Speaker 1: taken off the field on third down. Okay, and that
Speaker 1: and and I don't see him as an every down
Speaker 1: player in the National Football League. And so J Jordan Davis,
Speaker 1: you know, if he was gonna get drafted the top ten,
Speaker 1: he's gotta be one of the best first and second
Speaker 1: down nose tackles in the history of the league for
Speaker 1: him to be drafted in the top ten. I mean,
Speaker 1: because Trayvon Walker, three down guy, plays defensive end, plays
Speaker 1: defensive uh end in a three four, he plays defensive
Speaker 1: end in a four three. He can be a stand
Speaker 1: up rush guy, and then he also can be a
Speaker 1: drop guy. And then if you wanted to, could he
Speaker 1: play as a nose tackle? He he actually physically can
Speaker 1: do that. Okay, Aidan Hutchinson is a guy that can
Speaker 1: play defensive end with his hand in the ground, but
Speaker 1: that's not his strong suit. Okay, I'm gonna go back
Speaker 1: to him a little bit because I think Aidan Hutchinson
Speaker 1: is an all day two feet in the ground, not
Speaker 1: and and as a two point guy. He is a
Speaker 1: stand up outside linebacker. That's where he performs best when
Speaker 1: he gets his hand in the ground. For some reason,
Speaker 1: it doesn't he doesn't play as well from what I've seen,
Speaker 1: and so so interesting. So I think two really good prospects.
Speaker 1: I know, More's Jones drew a kind of mock Trayvon
Speaker 1: Walker first overall of the Jaguars, and you know, he's
Speaker 1: kind of be a little bit shocking. I don't know
Speaker 1: if he would be a first overall pick. I don't
Speaker 1: see that kind of production, but I think he's a
Speaker 1: he's a very interesting prospect and he's gonna he's gonna
Speaker 1: make somebody a really give somebody a really good football player. Well,
Speaker 1: um let's move along to the offensive line. This is
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour on Tinton Excel and Jaguars dot Com.
Speaker 1: J P Shadrick Jeff Lockerman will go around the league
Speaker 1: at four forty five today. Well, Evan Neil did not
Speaker 1: work out at the combine in Indianapolis, the Alabama offensive
Speaker 1: tackle on the left side, but he did yesterday in
Speaker 1: Tuscaloosa at the Alabama prot I think there were about
Speaker 1: eight or nine players that worked out yesterday for a
Speaker 1: few NFL coaches and scouts and everybody, but all eyes
Speaker 1: were on Evan Neil. He had been mocked to the
Speaker 1: Jaguars quite a bit at number one and earlier in
Speaker 1: the process. What you weigh in at that problem? You know,
Speaker 1: I'm just out of curiosity because you know, Waite has
Speaker 1: been a little bit of an issue with Evan Neil
Speaker 1: in his history, so that I think that's a very
Speaker 1: I guarantee you that a lot of Scott scouts that
Speaker 1: was one of the first things that they wanted to
Speaker 1: see was what did he weigh in at? What kind
Speaker 1: of shape did he look to be in? Because he's
Speaker 1: one of those guys that if he doesn't watch it,
Speaker 1: remember the right tackle that played for the Buffalo Bills
Speaker 1: way back in the k gun days when Jim Kelly
Speaker 1: was the quarterback, Howard house Ballard they used to call him.
Speaker 1: He was about three seventy five and if if if Howard,
Speaker 1: I think his name, first name was Howard house Ballard
Speaker 1: how House was his nickname. If he had actually had
Speaker 1: his weight a little bit more are under control, he
Speaker 1: would have been a really good right tackle. So the
Speaker 1: latest I can get is right before the combine, he
Speaker 1: weighed in at three thirty seven and he played heavier
Speaker 1: than that listed at Alabama. Yeah, and then he probably
Speaker 1: ended up weighing about three sixties. You know, because in
Speaker 1: the reason I bring that up is because at times
Speaker 1: Evan Neil doesn't look like a great athlete. Okay, uh,
Speaker 1: He's not put it this way. He is not in
Speaker 1: the Tony Boselli prospect category of potential Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: left type left tackle. I think he's on the ground
Speaker 1: a lot. I think he's extremely powerful, and he's got
Speaker 1: good footwork as far as you can tell that. He's
Speaker 1: been coached very well, very well, and his footwork good.
Speaker 1: His hands are good when he gets his hands on you.
Speaker 1: Typically he's gonna eat guys up. He does a good
Speaker 1: job of driving guys. But when he gets somebody who
Speaker 1: is athletic, that's where I think that he he can
Speaker 1: really struggle and maybe some weight loss would help him
Speaker 1: and will help him in the future. But is he
Speaker 1: a hand down sure fire number one overall. I can't
Speaker 1: say that he is. I just I just don't. I
Speaker 1: don't see that. I think he's on the ground too much,
Speaker 1: and I think he's a little bit limited from the
Speaker 1: athletics standpoint. That would make me a little bit cautious
Speaker 1: about making him the numb over the number one overall pick.
Speaker 1: But I can tell you though, he is a really
Speaker 1: good football player. You know, that's kind of that's being
Speaker 1: a little bit overly critical of him, because the guy
Speaker 1: has taken on taking on some really good football players
Speaker 1: and negate him. You know, when you watch him play
Speaker 1: against the University of George, you want to talk about
Speaker 1: stoning the strong defensive end that we just got done
Speaker 1: talking about Trayvon Walker, And not many people can stone
Speaker 1: a Trayvon Walker. So I think he's a good football player,
Speaker 1: But I like the guy. NC stayed better to be
Speaker 1: honest with you. One more note, never Neil. I think
Speaker 1: he had one penalty all of last season against him,
Speaker 1: and I think six and isn't higher career and moved
Speaker 1: around a few different positions. Played guard one year, played
Speaker 1: right tackle one year. Now of course finished it left.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question of because if somebody
Speaker 1: has moved around a lot in their career, does that
Speaker 1: make him more valuable or does it make you question
Speaker 1: why he played multiple positions because he wasn't good enough
Speaker 1: to be in one position and own it well. I mean,
Speaker 1: it also tells you about all the other guys that
Speaker 1: were playing those positions. Part of that well in Alabama
Speaker 1: is a little bit different, But I still think in
Speaker 1: my mind because if some of that has happened, I
Speaker 1: would sit there and wonder, if he's that good of
Speaker 1: a left tackle, then why didn't the University of Alabama
Speaker 1: left tackle and say you're the man three years? Okay,
Speaker 1: and then find places for other guys? Because you know,
Speaker 1: if I've got a guy who is a dominant best
Speaker 1: left tackle hands down, I'm not moving him. I'm moving
Speaker 1: other guys, you know. So I think that that's maybe
Speaker 1: a little bit of what I'm referring to, and maybe
Speaker 1: some of my hesitation too, and as far as proclaiming him,
Speaker 1: you know this great left tackle, you know, number one
Speaker 1: overall pick. That's what I said. It's not not to
Speaker 1: be confused with Tony Boselli because they had Alex Leatherwood there.
Speaker 1: Jonah Williams was there in eighteen and then was gone
Speaker 1: and then let me let me let me see this. Okay, Leatherwood,
Speaker 1: Jonah Williams. Okay, these guys here were they elite. Les was,
Speaker 1: but that was before before him, so he wasn't even
Speaker 1: but Leatherwood, I mean, Leatherwood was considered to be a
Speaker 1: little bit limited athletically. And where did he play with
Speaker 1: the Raiders right tackle? You know? So that's my point
Speaker 1: is that if he were that good, he would have
Speaker 1: been at left tackle regardless. Uh. And then the final
Speaker 1: thought on Ikeykan your guy got finish? Um? Uh plays
Speaker 1: exceptionally well, he's quickness, he's he got finished. Man, you
Speaker 1: want to talk about powerful finish. I don't know what
Speaker 1: this guy's upper body he is completely made of, but
Speaker 1: it's got a lot of muscle. Because the guy can
Speaker 1: like literally pick guys up and throw him like out
Speaker 1: of the bar and legally not like you know, grabbing
Speaker 1: a guy, and you know, through public he can push
Speaker 1: guys out the bar. I mean that's how big and
Speaker 1: strong he is athletic and uh, you know, but he's
Speaker 1: not perfect. I mean he I think. But the one
Speaker 1: thing I think that's attractive about him with the Jaguars
Speaker 1: potentially is that if you drafted a guy like him,
Speaker 1: he could end up playing guard for you for a while.
Speaker 1: And I think he would be an exceptional guard. Uh,
Speaker 1: And I sink I think he can be a really
Speaker 1: good left tackle. I don't think. Again, he's not Uh,
Speaker 1: he's built a little bit more like a guard, he said,
Speaker 1: not quite you know, he's not six ft six or
Speaker 1: anything like that. But interesting matchup. The guy that really
Speaker 1: kind of gave him a fit was the Florida States
Speaker 1: Jermaine Johnson. And so if people want to watch a
Speaker 1: really good matchup, watch NC State Florida State and Jermaine
Speaker 1: john Upson. Because Jermaine Johnson is a good football player.
Speaker 1: Let's come back in a moment. We'll hear from Doug
Speaker 1: Peterson again from the NFL Annual Meeting on what he
Speaker 1: has seen on tape from Trevor Lawrence and a little
Speaker 1: later around the NFL, A lot of news around the
Speaker 1: league last week or so. This is Jaguars Happy Hour
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Digital Network. Obviously, he throws the ball
Speaker 1: well on the run. That was one thing. Number two,
Speaker 1: he throws the deep ball really well. And and when
Speaker 1: I say the deep ball, particularly the scene throws you know,
Speaker 1: between the number and the hash. And that was something
Speaker 1: that kind of popped out on film as we were
Speaker 1: watching him and studying him, you know, this offseason. So
Speaker 1: those are all things that we can we can try
Speaker 1: to use, you know, as we move forward in developing
Speaker 1: our scheme offensively. That is Doug Peterson from the NFL
Speaker 1: Annual Meeting on the Guess who Trevor Lawrence Jaguars quarterback
Speaker 1: and welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Our J. P. Shadrick,
Speaker 1: Jeff Lagman on Tenton A. M and Jackson Bill Jaguars
Speaker 1: dot com, Jaguars Twitter and Facebook and YouTube the podcast
Speaker 1: on the free I Heart radio app search Jacksonville Jaguars
Speaker 1: Hit us up on Twitter. Also at JP Shadrick at
Speaker 1: logs fifty six. Do you agree with that the deep
Speaker 1: balls the seam throwers a lot more than just that?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it does a lot of That
Speaker 1: was a secondary answer to the second question about Trevor. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he does a lot of things well. I
Speaker 1: think the thing that he does or showed this past
Speaker 1: year that arguably it was his number one strong suit,
Speaker 1: was his maturity. I don't think there's any other young
Speaker 1: quarterback that has come along in recent years that could
Speaker 1: have handled last year with the grace and UH in
Speaker 1: the class that Trevor did, because I don't think that
Speaker 1: was an easy year for anybody to go through, a
Speaker 1: particularly a young rookie quarterback, to have to deal with
Speaker 1: all the crap that happened with urban Meyer and the organization.
Speaker 1: I thought he handled it exceptionally well. So for me,
Speaker 1: that's the number one thing that that he did well
Speaker 1: last year. What do you say that? I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the reality. I mean, look uh that that obviously doesn't
Speaker 1: come out on tape. Are one any other mere mortal
Speaker 1: would have been eaten up by it? I mean, and
Speaker 1: Trevor handled it well, And I thought he was poised
Speaker 1: and showed great leadership UH and backing his teammates the
Speaker 1: way he backed James Robinson after urban Meyer UH handled
Speaker 1: that situation so poorly and then lied about it. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, you couldn't have asked, uh for anything better
Speaker 1: out of your quarterback than to have him support his
Speaker 1: teammate and his team. And I thought that was exceptional.
Speaker 1: You know that some of the physical things that Trevor does,
Speaker 1: I mean looked at there was a reason why he
Speaker 1: was QB number one for many years and thought to
Speaker 1: be the number one prospect and one of the greatest
Speaker 1: prospects to ever come out in recent time. So all
Speaker 1: the physical tools are there. He just needs guidance, and
Speaker 1: he needs better players around him, and he needs experience
Speaker 1: and some of the other things that we're hoping for
Speaker 1: will come eventually. That leads me to my next question
Speaker 1: for your logs and stay with me here. Of course,
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson said that Travis E. T N should be
Speaker 1: good to go here very soon and he'll do some
Speaker 1: football things in the offseason program. It's a good step
Speaker 1: in the right direction, and they're expecting James Robinson closer
Speaker 1: to training camp and in that time frame to to
Speaker 1: be ready to go. That's it. Running back. They've added
Speaker 1: a tight end in free agency. Dan Arno expected to
Speaker 1: be back. They've added two wide receivers and free agency
Speaker 1: to go with Marvin Jones, Leavisca Chouel, just to name
Speaker 1: a couple of guys that are here before. What else
Speaker 1: do you want at least in terms of weapons on
Speaker 1: offense around Trevor uh Well, I want to see young
Speaker 1: weapons that can develop, and that's through the draft. I
Speaker 1: think you've you've got to find a way to add
Speaker 1: to your offensive line a little bit. In the Drac AFT.
Speaker 1: I like the tight end position where they're at. I
Speaker 1: think they're they're really good there because they've got two
Speaker 1: guys that can catch the ball and then they've got
Speaker 1: a really strong blocking tight end returning. I think the
Speaker 1: receiver position you need. You need a dominant guy that
Speaker 1: can play on the outside, that can make plays and
Speaker 1: go deep. I don't think you have one um even
Speaker 1: though that you've signed a couple of guys in free agency.
Speaker 1: I think Za Jones is just a solid guy, and
Speaker 1: in free agency, you you pay solid guys more than
Speaker 1: just solid pay. That's just kind of how it works
Speaker 1: in free agency. And Kirk, I think he's a dynamic,
Speaker 1: explosive player that you can get creative with him and
Speaker 1: doing things with him movement wise. But I don't think
Speaker 1: he's a guy that's gonna just make a living on
Speaker 1: the outside. I think you need to find a guy
Speaker 1: that has a little bit more range. When I say
Speaker 1: range as far as the height, the measurables, but then
Speaker 1: also has the vertical ability. Some that can take the
Speaker 1: top off of a defense. Somebody that can threaten the defense.
Speaker 1: You know, if Jimmy Smith can go back and years
Speaker 1: old again, it'd be fantastic for this. But I mean
Speaker 1: somebody along those lines that can threaten a defense. And
Speaker 1: and if you know, they think, here's the thing. When
Speaker 1: the quarterback comes to the line of scrimmage and he's
Speaker 1: and he's got a guy like Mike Evans or you know,
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, Okay, and you look outside and you see
Speaker 1: one guy covering them, you can make the decision right
Speaker 1: then and there, I'm throwing him the football because my
Speaker 1: guy is better than their guy, and he's always going
Speaker 1: to be better than their guy. Do you have somebody
Speaker 1: on the roster like that right now? You don't, You
Speaker 1: don't know, No, you don't think JP. They don't have
Speaker 1: it right now. Could somebody develop, Well, that'd be great,
Speaker 1: But I just don't see that happening right now. So
Speaker 1: uh look, uh, and I've said this before. Wide receiver,
Speaker 1: I think is always a position and that you can
Speaker 1: find guys and rounds two, rounds three, rounds four that
Speaker 1: can make significant impacts for your football team, and I
Speaker 1: expect the Jaguars to find one. The Jaguars are future
Speaker 1: focused and ready for a new look in join us
Speaker 1: at the bank this season as Doug Peterson and Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence and others of course lead to charge. Walk in

Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. Welcome back
Speaker 1: as Jaguars Happy Hour JP Shadrick Jeff Laga. Thenute. If
Speaker 1: you're watching us on Jaguars dot com, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube,
Speaker 1: you're looking live at the Football Performance Center. The footprint
Speaker 1: is massive. The concrete is starting to be poored. They're
Speaker 1: diging a big hole looks like for maybe a big pool,
Speaker 1: and I don't know what that's for. They're moving a
Speaker 1: lot more dirt. I'm thinking, you know, last week, I
Speaker 1: think I said it looks like a little bit of
Speaker 1: a lanthall. I think now today looks like a motocross park.
Speaker 1: Let's break out the dirt, bikes and a TV. Let's
Speaker 1: get busy, let's do it. Yeah, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: hills of dirt and things in the parking lot. So
Speaker 1: of course that's scheduled to open in three for training
Speaker 1: camp and that we're watching the progress daily and weekly. Here.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of heavy equipment out there. I can
Speaker 1: tell there is, and it's only just become. There's going
Speaker 1: to be more and more as we move along. A
Speaker 1: lot going on construction wise, and and and then the
Speaker 1: at least the sports complex development. The fire museum was
Speaker 1: moved down the road and it now resting on its
Speaker 1: new home about that right by the demolition site for
Speaker 1: the old Berkman to building. I think it's pretty next door,
Speaker 1: pretty impressive, and you can take a structure like that
Speaker 1: and just oh yeah, we're just gonna move it down
Speaker 1: road a little bit, you know, no problem. Pretty cool.
Speaker 1: It's it's like one of those things where when you
Speaker 1: see the like where I was down at the Kennedy
Speaker 1: Space Center back when my daughter had spring break, and
Speaker 1: we go down and you see that that big place
Speaker 1: where they put the rockets together, and then they had
Speaker 1: these like tank track mechanisms that would wield these things
Speaker 1: to the launch pad. You're like, good, lord man, like
Speaker 1: what a third of a mile in an hour or something.
Speaker 1: But it's just hundreds of thousands of tons of this thing.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of weight being moved and to keep
Speaker 1: it intact. And then the roads have been have been
Speaker 1: changed coming off the heart Bridge now there's a new
Speaker 1: pattern there and it's a temporary pattern, I believe. And
Speaker 1: then coming from downtown they've created that new road around
Speaker 1: the flyover. You know there's a lot going on right down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're doing a good door old buildings going up. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's a lot. Is the door in the corner here
Speaker 1: kitty corner from the Ballpark Baseball Stadium. There's a new
Speaker 1: apartment complex going up there with the brand new parking deck.
Speaker 1: There's to be a rooftop pool. I think all that
Speaker 1: stuff there, I mean, it's all kind of happening at
Speaker 1: the same reminds me. And I know you don't travel
Speaker 1: a whole lot, but having a rooftop pool there. There's
Speaker 1: a hotel and Joe will remember this. It's the hotel
Speaker 1: that we stay at in Houston and it has the pool,
Speaker 1: and I remember correctly, he's in the shape of the
Speaker 1: state of Texas. I've seen photos of that. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Yeah, yeah, not that I was ever out
Speaker 1: there hanging out. It's gonna say how many they like
Speaker 1: open to sing up to the public and it turns
Speaker 1: into what looks like spring break MTV action out there.
Speaker 1: You know, that's right if you're alley. No, there's like
Speaker 1: a gym that's right next door to it, and that's
Speaker 1: where I you you am usually at, you are working,
Speaker 1: By the way, you just showed your age. By the way,
Speaker 1: if you mentioned MTV spring Break, I mean, and I
Speaker 1: don't think they have that anymore, right, Come, I grew
Speaker 1: up watching that stuff. That wasn't they used to used
Speaker 1: years ago. That's a long time ago. I mean they
Speaker 1: used to have it a daytona all the time and
Speaker 1: going well, right now, I think there's some bad press
Speaker 1: coming out of South Florida about the spring break stuff.
Speaker 1: So that, but that shows our era watching MTV, like
Speaker 1: PAULI Shore was the host and Julie Downtown Brown was
Speaker 1: always there all that. Yeah I was. I was back
Speaker 1: in early days. Yeah, I don't even like concerts live,
Speaker 1: and you never really saw those anywhere else. The whole
Speaker 1: till remembers the early days of MTV. That's chime in.
Speaker 1: Where are that's Joe Fortunato, who was the first jas
Speaker 1: Mike's not on Joe? Yeah, thank you. I don't know
Speaker 1: what's going on. Maybe we need to go help him
Speaker 1: push the right button. I didn't think I was gonna
Speaker 1: hear the name Paul Shore in today's right now, okay,
Speaker 1: real quick before we go around in the NFL and
Speaker 1: now you want to squeeze that and the the one
Speaker 1: of the original VJs and that did the news for
Speaker 1: MTV kind of a real bland guy's constraight hair. What
Speaker 1: was his name, Joe Alan Hunter. That's a good pool
Speaker 1: right there. Wow, that was quick memory. You must eat blueberries? Wow, Hey,
Speaker 1: let's go around. Oh well we're not going around yet.
Speaker 1: Twitter poll results were talking about that. Earlier. Right, So
Speaker 1: we put the Twitter poll out um today and it
Speaker 1: was after the free agency moves for the Jaguars the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. What is the greatest area of
Speaker 1: need for the Jags heading into April? Wide receiver is
Speaker 1: at scent of the vote, pass rush at offensive line
Speaker 1: at seventeen, and other with two six votes are in.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the contributions today. All right, let's go
Speaker 1: around the National Football League. Last night, Peter King of
Speaker 1: n d C and Sam Farmer of the l A
Speaker 1: Times broke the story together. Bruce Arians is headed to
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers front office. Todd Bowles elevated to head coach
Speaker 1: to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and is a fine coach.
Speaker 1: I think that, uh, he didn't get a very fair
Speaker 1: shake when he was up in New York with a
Speaker 1: with a bad organization that had its own level of dysfunction.
Speaker 1: I thought Todd Todd Bowles handled all of that up
Speaker 1: there exceptionally well. And I'm glad he's getting another shot.
Speaker 1: And kind of curious as to what the reason was
Speaker 1: given as to why Bruce Arians is moving into a
Speaker 1: front office role. Did they explain any of that? I
Speaker 1: change he'd been in football for for something years, and
Speaker 1: I just felt it was time. I think from what
Speaker 1: I read of his statement coming well, I mean the
Speaker 1: reason I kind of asked that, and I'm kind of
Speaker 1: doing it out loud, is uh is that was that
Speaker 1: something Tom Brady wanted to see. I think they were.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like he wasn't aware, I think of what
Speaker 1: was going on, because he retired, came back, and then
Speaker 1: I think he was all kind of in the same
Speaker 1: little time frame there. Interesting and Arian said, Hey, organizations
Speaker 1: in a great place. And this obviously for Todd Bowls,
Speaker 1: you're going into a situation that the team set up
Speaker 1: for success right away too. I wonder if he will
Speaker 1: hire a new name defensive coordinator or will he act
Speaker 1: as head coach last defensive coordinator. That's a good question.
Speaker 1: The offense is gonna be Environ's hands now in its entirety.
Speaker 1: There's no longer gonna be uh this perceptions that that
