1
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to Jacks Drive Time with Ashlyn Sullimsell, John Oshan,

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Brian Sex Changs Drive Time and he starts right now.

3
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: I think that last year's last year, and and we're

4
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: starting we're starting fresh, we're starting new, and we're starting

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: from the ground floor. And that's what I'm excited about it.

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: And that's that's why I think just just moving forward

7
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: a big picture, That's that's the that's the great thing

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: about you know, taking over with what having a quarterback,

9
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: you know, much like what we did in Philly, you know,

10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: with with Carson and how in his second year, you know,

11
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: we saw the growth and and everything in him. And

12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: Trevor's coming into that that second year this year and

13
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: and looking forward to working within this spring. So, um,

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: I think sky's a limit, you know. Obviously We've we've

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: got some work to do. Um nothing, nothing is perfect,

16
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: and we're looking forward to that the start of a

17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: new year. Officially for the Jaguars new head coach dud Peterson.

18
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: In this entire are coaching staff as this is the

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: first event where they are all together here at the

20
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Lie from Radio Roal localmen

21
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: A Jaguars Drive time at Ashland Sullivan and John Ozier

22
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: here for you. Our first day of coverage. And it

23
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: has been a long day, but Tuesday is always the

24
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: longest day because Trump Bulky and Doug Peterson speaks the

25
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: media and it is a big day here in the

26
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: convention Center. Well, it's been a long day and notably

27
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: it's our first time back. It's the NFL's first time

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: back at this event in two years, so there is

29
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: a feeling of you're seeing people around saying hello to

30
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: each other. They haven't seen each other, you know, in

31
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: two years in a lot of cases. So the convention

32
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: of the league, which is what this is, is back.

33
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: And uh, the Jaguars are in business with what we

34
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: now know is the management structure of football side moving forward. Yes,

35
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: absolutely so big news. This Tuesday morning, Jaguars owner Shotcom

36
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: released a statement that the Jaguars will not be hiring

37
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: an executive vice president, which means that Trent Balky and

38
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson will be working even more close so than

39
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: they already are. And Doug Peterson spoke about that today.

40
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: From the day I walked in that door and really

41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: goes all the way back to our interview process. You

42
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: know how collaborative we've been in the questions that we've

43
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: been able to bounce off each other, and and I

44
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: and I want it to be that way. I wanted

45
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: to be transparent. I wanted to be open and honest.

46
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: And we're not always going to agree. I mean, that's

47
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: that's part of this process. But at the same time,

48
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, we can walk out the door and be united.

49
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: And and that's the most important thing that we're We're

50
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: keeping the organization, We're keeping the players first, um and

51
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing that that we've been able to

52
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: do and and and building on that relationship each and

53
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: every day. So Doug Peterson and Trent trump Bulky were

54
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: already working very closely together. Now they will be even

55
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: more so. And a lot of people were questioning when

56
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: are they going to hire an EVP? Why is it

57
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: taking so long? Now a decision comes that they aren't

58
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: going to hire an e v P, and Shot Khan

59
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: said it that he's been in the building these past

60
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: three weeks. He's seen Doug Peterson work, and he has

61
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: the confidence that he doesn't want to add more to

62
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: the mix because he feels like what they have right

63
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: now is working right. There's a strong vibe that dougs

64
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: the right guy and that he's brought the unity, the

65
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, all the things that you expected him to,

66
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: the positive culture, if you will. And my impression, I

67
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: haven't talked to Shot, but I talked to people you

68
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: know around him in the decision a little bit um.

69
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: You know, don't throw something else into the mix yet

70
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: until you know what's needed in that mix. So uh,

71
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: right now, it appears very much that Doug and Trent

72
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: are working well together. They both talked about it a

73
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: lot today. When you listen to Doug Peterson talk about

74
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: the kind of thing, you get the idea that he's

75
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: not gonna say something if he doesn't mean it. There's

76
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: a lot of sincerity there. And Shod used the word

77
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: pause with the executive vice president situation. I don't think

78
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: that kind of thing is off the table in the

79
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: long term. What that will eventually look like, if it happens,

80
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: What an assistant GM could look like, What a VP

81
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: of personnel, which is what Trent Baulk you mentioned today.

82
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: You know, I think there will be the Jaguars overall

83
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: managed instruction on the football side won't look exactly like

84
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: it is now. How it will look, I think is

85
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: something that Shod con wants to determine over the appropriate

86
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: amount of time. As you said, Ashland, not force something

87
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: right now that doesn't need to be forced. Well, it

88
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: also seems like you have to have the perfect ideal

89
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: candidate for that, and you're not going to just fill

90
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: that position. To fill that position and create something like

91
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: this one, there's already so many moving parts, everyone's trying

92
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: to figure each other out, there's so much to do

93
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: this offseason. I just think forcing that right now it

94
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: just it doesn't seem the right fit. So I hear

95
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: what you're saying that we shouldn't say that the e

96
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: VP position is closed forever. It's just not right now,

97
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: and that's okay. And again, what you want to do

98
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: is make sure that if you feel like the direction

99
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: that Doug has got things moving is good, and all

100
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: of a sudden you bring in a VP, you know,

101
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: and it doesn't quite fit, then maybe that runs counter

102
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: to that. You know. Again, at some point, Shod we'll

103
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: talk about the decision publicly and we'll get more of

104
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: his thoughts on that. But it just seemed like right

105
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: now it's not gonna happen in the quote foreseeable future.

106
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: So let's make sure people understand that it's paused for

107
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: right now, so that the questions don't continue every time

108
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: that Doug speaks, every time that Trent speaks. It doesn't

109
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: have to be a topic every time. Now the doors closed,

110
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: just for now, and that is our breaking news of

111
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: the day here at the Scouting comment we come back

112
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: on Jaguars Drive. I'm all about what Trent Balky and

113
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson said at the podium. Coming up, we're back

114
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive time from the NFL Scouting Combine, live in

115
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: Indianapolis from Radio Row. It is Tuesday. It is our

116
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: first day of Combine coverage here on Jaguars dot com,

117
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: and it was a big day because Trent Falky and

118
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson met the media, not for the first time,

119
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: but this is really the first time where the Jaguars

120
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: coaching staff is all together, and it's kind of the

121
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: official first event for the new league year. It's a

122
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: lot of newness going on, and I will say the

123
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: biggest thing that I took from the press conferences in

124
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: the interviews that will be up soon on Jaguars dot

125
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: com it's Doug Peterson and Trent Bulky both said with

126
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: confidence that they're gonna be really aggressive in free agency. Yeah,

127
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: And we asked Doug and Trent on that when about

128
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: that when we had them on, uh, Doug being the

129
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: coach was a little more over the top, he's little wy. Yeah,

130
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna be aggresive. Trent, being the GM said something interesting.

131
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: The most interesting takeaway I had from it was he said, yes,

132
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna be aggressive, and then he talked a little

133
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: bit about wanting to make sure that that that the

134
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: players they got when they introduced them into the locker room.

135
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: We're good enough players that the other players understood why

136
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: they were signed, and it's an important they remember in

137
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: free agency, these players know who's good and who's not good.

138
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: Trent was basically saying, you don't want to sign a

139
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: guy just for the sake of signing them, have him

140
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: come in not be able to play, and then all

141
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, your contracts structure is all out of whack.

142
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: So um. The other interesting thing that I'm not sure

143
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: we were planning to talk about. Trent talked a lot

144
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: about the need to resign the team's own players. Doug

145
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: talked about that as well. Clearly, now it takes a

146
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: while to get to that because you've got to draft

147
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: the right guys. But both of them talked extensively about

148
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: we need to resign our own guys. We need to

149
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: keep guys in the building who are good players. That

150
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: hasn't happened enough. Boy, that is a it's a pretty

151
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: good sum up of the culture and what has gone

152
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: wrong around here for a while that we've gotten to

153
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: that point through various things going wrong. Both of these

154
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: guys know it's imperative that that get fixed and that

155
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: starts to be a thing that they're known for rather

156
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: than known for not doing. Yeah, it's kind of addressing

157
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: what is outside the building. And truthfully, in in my

158
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: five years year, I never heard a GM or coach

159
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: talk about that, talk about what everyone says is why

160
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: don't you keep your own players? And this is the

161
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: first time that both of them said that. And I

162
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't take it as oh, they're absolutely going to resign

163
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson and d J. Chart that's that's what they

164
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: must mean. It was more so saying and starts here.

165
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: It's starting to draft your own players and making sure

166
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: they're the right picks when you draft them, and Coach

167
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: Peterson says, hey, that starts today, right. You can't resign

168
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: DJ Shark necessarily just because we want to sign our

169
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: own guys. But over the long haul they have to

170
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: draft well developed, well get back to that all gms

171
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: want to do. A day called well talked about it.

172
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: Anybody's been a GM talks about doing that. It was

173
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: interesting though to me that they both talked about it

174
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: with such emphasis here at their first combine. They clearly

175
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: know they have to get back to that. They have

176
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: started doing that, right. It's imperative. How that plays out

177
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: in the short term is interesting. How it plays out

178
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: in the long term is imperative for sure. And another

179
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: big talking point I guess she'll say from here is

180
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 1: this room is buzzing about the dumb one overall pick,

181
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: and everyone keeps talking about Evan Neil. So we asked

182
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: Coach Peterson and Trent Bulky, there are you taking? That's

183
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: what you said, right? You got who you got? And

184
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: he said not so fascinating, but the offense of line.

185
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: And I thought it was interesting when Doug Peterson said,

186
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, we don't really know yet because we have

187
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: to see how free agency shakes out. And once we

188
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: know with Cam Robinson and free agency, okay, then we

189
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: know how to place the offensive line right now, we

190
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: kind of gotta wait for that to know what's going

191
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: on with this line. Yeah, and there's there's two weeks

192
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: to go until free agency. And when they were asked

193
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: about this, uh, I'm not sure. We asked some specifical

194
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: about the franchise tags. But when they were asked about

195
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: free agency and the franchise tag in a in a

196
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: local media scrum, if you will, I thought was, they're

197
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: not quite there yet. They're trying to figure it out.

198
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: That's what you would expect them to say. The negotiating

199
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: period for free agency, I believe it starts two weeks

200
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: from today. That's when I think we'll start getting an

201
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: idea of what they're gonna be able to do. It

202
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: sounds to me like they like Cam back. I didn't

203
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: really ask him much about DJ today, but overall, it

204
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: sounds like they would like pieces of the offensive line back.

205
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: They have to figure out what those pieces are gonna

206
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: look like and how realisting is to bring those guys back.

207
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: Unfortunately for us on Jaguars dot Com right it's stay tuned. Yes,

208
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: it's a lot of question marks. It's a lot about

209
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: money and injury status. You know Brandon Linder with his

210
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: injury status the last year. Can he stay healthy to

211
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: come back. There's there's question marks at every single position

212
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: of the offensive line. So it's not as easy as

213
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: saying we'll just draft Evan Neil and it's all fixed,

214
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: no problem. It was interesting. Uh. We asked Doug on

215
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: the air, uh, what positions he liked, and he talked

216
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: a little bit about tight end. Likes the tight end room,

217
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: which was interesting. Likes the running back room. There's concerns

218
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: there with Travis cy Tan and James Robinson, how healthy

219
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 1: they come back. Uh. But obviously when we talked, I

220
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: asked him what he likes about the roster and he

221
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: sort of started to answer, and the first thing he says, well,

222
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: quarterback so well, And that's a good sign, yes, because

223
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: he clearly likes it and he's got a bunch of

224
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: guys to coach. Yes he does. We said he set

225
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: a record for having coaches in the building that have

226
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: quarterback experience, and he left and said, yeah, I know.

227
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: It was at Yah, that's a lot. It was a lot.

228
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: So those are impressions from the coach and gm S

229
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: pressers here at the common week come back. We're looking

230
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: at the prospects and the rest of a busy week

231
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: here for Jaguars dot Com at the Scouting Combine. So

232
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: stay with us. We're about Jaguars Drive Time live from

233
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: the Scouting Combine here in Indianapolis and live on Radio

234
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: Row on a Tuesday where Dud Peterson and Trent Bulky

235
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: met the media today was very much all about the

236
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: coaches in GM the NFL. Yet every coach in this

237
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: building tomorrow really starts the prospects, and it starts at

238
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: the wide receivers that will be at the podium on field.

239
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: Workouts do not start till Thursday. But I'm I'm excited

240
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: to see these wide receivers. And it's interesting because it's

241
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: so obvious. Everyone talks about the Jaguars need for speed

242
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: and you gotta get speed on this roster. But when

243
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: you look at these wide receivers, they're falling the top

244
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: ones at least fifteen twenty. The Jaguars don't sit there obviously,

245
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: they're at thirty three, So does one of them fall?

246
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: That's where, yes, you need speed. But you can't necessarily

247
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: reach for that position in the first round. What certainly

248
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: sounds like, you know, I'd be surprised if they took

249
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: wide receiver now one overall, I think that's a big

250
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: reach at this point. Nobody thinks that will happen. Um

251
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: could one of these receivers are talking about who's rated

252
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: between twelve and twenty slipped to twenty six or twenty seven.

253
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: A lot of the Jaguards to trade up for it.

254
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: Possibly are there enough where they could wait to get

255
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: one at number thirty three. Those are tough things to

256
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: speculate about right now with any sort of certainty, because

257
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: it's so far off and you're talking about thirty three

258
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: picks in front of it. What was interesting today when

259
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: Trent was talking on the podium, you mentioned a couple

260
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: of things that caught my ear. He likes the draft,

261
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: he said, he thinks it is. It is a deep

262
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: draft and very good draft. A lot of different positions.

263
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: That leads me to believe, you know, Trent likes his picks,

264
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: he likes trading, but at leads me at leads me

265
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: to believe that he thinks he's in good shape at

266
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: the top of a lot of rounds to get guys

267
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: that maybe people aren't talking about right now. All people

268
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: really want to talk about the comma is number one overall. Um,

269
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: it sounds like, you know, he was asked on the podium,

270
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: he's not give anything away. He was asked a lot

271
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: of out the difference between offensive line and edge rusher.

272
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: He said, it's a very deep draft for edge rusher.

273
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: Maybe that means you take tackle first edge rather rushing

274
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: in the second round. That's just meat play and not

275
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: draft nick. Uh. But he likes the draft. And he

276
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: was asked about possibly trade in the pick, and he

277
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: was very GM like in it. He said, well, you know,

278
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: you don't say no, but you don't say yes all

279
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: of that. I think it'll be tough to trade that

280
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: pick because I'm not sure that there's the value at

281
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: the top of the draft to entice people to come up.

282
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: But he certainly addressed it. So it's worth uh, somebody

283
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: going on and hearing what he had to say about it.

284
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: Most interesting most interesting takeaway from Trent today the fact

285
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: that he thinks it's a deep draft. I think they're

286
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: optimistic that first, second, third, fourth, fifth round they can

287
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: get value out of all those spots. Um, that's not

288
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: a sexy thing to talk about a combined day, but

289
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: he could impact the franchise for a long time. Yeah.

290
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: And a lot of people are also talking about with

291
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: free agencies. So soon in two weeks we're getting asked, okay,

292
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: well what about free agency? And we asked Trump, Balky, Okay,

293
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: do you add speed and free agency or you had

294
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: speed in the draft and you just look at a

295
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: matter of factly and said both. Yeah. And I think

296
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: the key thing to remember about free agency especially, it's

297
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: what Trent talked about. If you know, if guys go

298
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: off the board at at the premium spots, meaning you

299
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: got three or four wide receivers right that people are

300
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: talking about, if two or three of those guys resign,

301
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: you know they may not necessarily go spend for the

302
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: sake of spending. They need to get faster there. You know,

303
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: I don't speak for Trent. To me, the way you

304
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: get better at wide receiver along run is drafted because

305
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: the premier guys often aren't there. Davante Adams is there. Okay,

306
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: you feel differently about it, but that strikes me. I

307
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: just feel it at the top of the second round

308
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver is where I think they can start making

309
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: hay with it. But Trent certainly didn't tease that in

310
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: any way to us today on Jaguars Out. But the

311
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: key can't really tease anything, especially at the Combine. You've

312
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: got so much going on that you can't give anything

313
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: away right now. And why would he'd be silly too,

314
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: Yes he would. So those are our expectations for free

315
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: agency and draft. We are very far away from that.

316
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: But we are live here at the Scouting Combine and

317
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: we have one more segment here for you on Jaguars

318
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: Drive times to stay with us. We're back Jaguars Drive

319
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: timeline from Indianapolis, live from the Scouting Combine and live

320
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: from Radio ROWA busy Tuesday that we're wrapping up here

321
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot com, and we will be here till

322
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: Friday collecting all kinds of content for you on Jaguars

323
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: dot com. On field workouts start on Thursday and tomorrow

324
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: we have a busy day shooting a lot of behind

325
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: the scenes features and it was interesting. We were asking

326
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: head coach Doug Peterson what was the most impactful thing

327
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: of the combine for him, and he said the interviews

328
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: are crucial and those start tonight at seven o'clock. They're

329
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: only fifteen minutes long. And for trim Bulky, he said really,

330
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: he said all of its impactful, but he mentioned the

331
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: on field workouts and I thought it was really interesting

332
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: what he said where we asked a fan, I guess

333
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: expectations as if a guy who runs an awesome forty,

334
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: it must mean you have to draft him, and he

335
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: said not necessarily, but it forced you to go back

336
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: and watch more tape and say, why do we miss this?

337
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: Why is he testing so well? And what are we

338
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: missing on film? Well, coaches historically and Dougs obviously long

339
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: time coach love the interview process because it gives them

340
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: some insight into what they might be dealing with if

341
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: they get the player, what the guys like to be around.

342
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: Uh So I'm not surprised that Doug loves that. To transpoint,

343
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: and it rings true every GM you talk to. We'll

344
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: tell you the difference between how the combine is perceived

345
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: publicly and how it's perceived within NFL circles is dramatically different.

346
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: NFL people are here for the measurables, for the medicals

347
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: and a little bit for I mean for the interviews.

348
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: Coaches like those a little bit for the on field stuff.

349
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: But teams do not go back Ashland and on Monday

350
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: and Tuesday. They don't go in and start tearing magnets

351
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: off the board and start throwing him and and now

352
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: re rank their board. This is a piece of the puzzle.

353
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: And what Trend said is what I've always heard. It's

354
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: exactly right. If a guy excels here, if there's a standout,

355
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: if there's a red flag in one direction or the other,

356
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: it will cause them to go back, take that magnet

357
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: aside and discuss that player again. And he used the

358
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: phrase that's dead on and find out what did we miss?

359
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: Are we missing something on this guy that we hadn't

360
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: seen before, And they'll check it, and if they're missing

361
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: the miss something, they'll go back and do the research.

362
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: It is another piece of the puzzle that causes these

363
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: teams to go back and make sure that the research

364
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: they've already done is right. But in no way does

365
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: this event. You know, you will hear about rising and

366
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: falling players from now to the draft. It's a vastly

367
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: overrated term. And uh, the combine certainly does not usually

368
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: cause guys to rise and fall, and usually guys only

369
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: rise and fall in one direction. They usually fall down

370
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: if something negative comes up. It's hard to rise significantly

371
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: at the combine. Yeah, and I thought it was interesting.

372
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: I learned this a couple of years ago with the

373
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: medicals and how important it is for someone like Jamison Williams,

374
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: for example, out of Alabama, who unfortunately towards a C

375
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: on the National Championship game. They're gonna be so many

376
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: questions about him, and that was probably the best wide

377
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: receiver in the class until that happened. So for the

378
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: chance for each team to get their hands on this

379
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: guy and really see, Okay, how much has he recovered,

380
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: that's big time, especially for a medical standpoint, And they'll

381
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: certainly look at guys like Williams who hurt last year.

382
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: Where the combine really helps these teams is it's their

383
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: first chance to do a full medical evaluation on players

384
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: that they don't know much about. They sort of know

385
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: that Williams has the A C L right. What they're

386
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: looking for primarily is all the hurts, all the past injuries,

387
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: how it's affected when they do their X rays. They're

388
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: looking to see, Okay, could this crop up at some point,

389
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: how um, how physically able is this player going to

390
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: be to withstand these things? How much wear and tear

391
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: he already has? Uh. Those are the things that aren't

392
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: very exciting for us to talk about, but that once

393
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: they get behind closed doors into our ranking their boards,

394
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: it comes into play. Big dog. Absolutely so very busy
