Speaker 1: It is Thursday, March ninth. This is Jaguars Happy Hour

2
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: and now a guy who needs a near perfect broadcast

3
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: just to make the cut. Jay Peace shad welcome in.

4
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: It's Thursday, It's happy hour. My name is J. P. Shadrick.

5
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: We've got a busy hour ahead as we prepare for

6
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: the final week of the league year. We're inside a

7
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: week away from the twenty twenty three league year begins

8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: Wednesday at four o'clock Eastern time. We've got Jeff Loguman

9
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: standing wide Jaguars analyst. We'll hear from NFL Network analyst

10
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: Brian Baldinger scheduled for four thirty today. We'll get his

11
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: thoughts on Calvin Ridley's reinstatement and what he could bring

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: to this Jaguars offense. Of course, Ridley was in the

13
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: building earlier this week. We'll hear from him coming up.

14
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram tagged franchise tagged by the Jaguars. All that

15
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: in a discussion tonight, Let's start with the biggest news

16
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: of the week. Though wide receiver Calvin Ridley officially reinstated

17
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: by the NFL Commissioner's Office, Elgebert to return to team

18
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: activities immediately so he arrived at Jacksonville Wednesday for a

19
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: stadium tour. He met the brass and got acclimated somewhat here.

20
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: He will really get acclimated when the offseason program begins

21
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: in mid April. He also sat down with Bucky Brooks

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: in an exclusive one on one conversation. A lot of

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: watching from afar of this jag team as they started

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: to win late in the season. I was suspended, and

25
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: they gave me a chance. They took a shot on me.

26
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: I mean I think, you know, I think them so

27
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: much with taking a chance on me early in that situation.

28
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: They made me, you know, it gave me some energy.

29
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: I had a team to watch, I had a reason to,

30
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, want to come back and be a great player.

31
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: And like like like you said, they were, they started

32
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: playing amazing. So it was really fun for me to

33
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: watch them, you know, get better. I'm ready to get

34
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: out there, man, That's all I can do. I don't

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: really like to talk, so he lets about it. I

36
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: didn't want to play. If you followed him on social

37
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: media throughout the fall, there's a lot of fire Emo jeans.

38
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: When the Jaguars were starting to win late in the

39
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: season and now he is a part of it coming

40
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: up very very soon. Jeff Logerman joining me here in

41
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: studio now. And it's been a little bit Jeff. Great

42
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: to see you again. First of all, what's up. It's

43
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: good to be seen. I agree with that. Yeah, that

44
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: means that live and kicking. That's true. So is Calvin

45
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: Ridley out of the league last year with a was

46
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: actually an indefinite suspension with a gambling issue, and then

47
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: now has been reinstated. He's back, he's in the building,

48
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: and he'll be back for the offseason program. He says.

49
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: It's the final year of his five year rookie contracts,

50
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: so he has plenty of motivation to get this thing right. Well,

51
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: I think he probably just wants to get back in

52
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: the locker room setting and be one of the guys,

53
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, kind of get all of his conversation about

54
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: being reinstated and all that kind of behind him, and

55
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: make the conversation about football, because as a football player,

56
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: that's all you want to talk about, that's all you

57
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: want to be. But I'm excited for him. I mean,

58
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: this guy's a fantastic player and very low cost for

59
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: the Jaguars to be able to acquire a player of

60
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: that stature that's got that explosive ability, playmaking ability at

61
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: a position really that they needed. But the great thing

62
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: is is because he's on kind of a proved deal,

63
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: because he's still got one year remaining on his rookie

64
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: year deal. On his rookie deal. If he has a

65
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: great year and he's a fit and he fits the culture,

66
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: then you look at locking him up if it doesn't

67
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: work out. It was a very inexpensive acquisition to be

68
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: able to get essentially what would be a rental for

69
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: one year. But I mean, this guy is a marquee guy,

70
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna fit right in. Everything you

71
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: hear about him is very positive, and that's the best thing,

72
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: because if a guy doesn't fit the locker room, then

73
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: he can't fit your plans. He wrote a letter in

74
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: the Player's Tribune actually yesterday it came out and kind

75
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: of detailed some of the issues he was having. Even

76
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: in the good years in Atlanta when he was playing

77
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: well and playing big and putting up big numbers, he

78
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: had a broken foot. He was playing through it. They

79
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: kept shooting it up and never could really overcome that. Well,

80
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 1: now he's had the surgery. Everything's fine there. His health

81
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: should be after a year and a half away from football,

82
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: should be in tip top shape. And then above the

83
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: shoulders as well, he's got to be bad. Well, that's

84
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: what I was just going to bring up, because he

85
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 1: had some mental health issues that he talked openly about

86
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: that he needed to address. And look, a year off,

87
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: sometimes you can allow the body to heal, but also

88
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: take the necessary steps to allow the mind to heal,

89
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: because this is a it's a tough business. I mean,

90
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: it's a pressure pack business, and it's a performance based business.

91
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: And when you have a year off, you know, hopefully

92
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: he dedicated that year off to something things that were

93
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: productive at making himself better. And but I'm excited to

94
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: see him come out on the field because you know,

95
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: the Jaguars right now have really I think two excellent

96
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: receivers and Zay Jones and Christian Kirk and that's not

97
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: even considering Evan Ingram, who has been tagged, which we'll

98
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: get to in a little bit, who's an excellent player

99
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: as well. But this is a three wide receiver league now,

100
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: and that's really what you have to have if you're

101
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: going to be able to compete and right now in

102
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: this division, you have the quarterback that is by far

103
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the division. Now you give him

104
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: three weapons at wide receiver and a really good weapon

105
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: at tight end. Hold on, you're going to create some

106
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: serious problems for defensive coordinators and stressing them because it's

107
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: very difficult to cover four viable receivers. Yeah, and you

108
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: can move in any different piece of this one. And

109
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: we're not even talking about the running back is well,

110
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: he's a viable option option in the passing here, and

111
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: so is Jamichael Hasty. I mean, which has been he's

112
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: been resigned since the last time, and you talk. You know,

113
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of goings on and everything so

114
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: far has been very positive for the Jaguars. You know.

115
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: The big question mark I think that you look at

116
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: and you think that this may be the one area

117
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: that doesn't get done for the Jaguars or is not

118
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: likely to get done, is right tackle Jawan Taylor. You know,

119
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: every ingram got franchise tag, guess, but the tailor one's

120
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: kind of still out there. The clock's ticking now, you know,

121
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: he'll be a free agent at four o'clock Wednesday, at

122
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: the start of the league year, and he's gonna have

123
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: a big market once he's out there. You just never know,

124
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: right well, it's gonna have a big market. And that's

125
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,239
Speaker 1: just you know, that's why you go to free agency.

126
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: If you're a player, you know you want to go

127
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: to free agency because the money gets bigger when you

128
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: get multiple parties that are essentially bidding on your services.

129
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: And and look at a lot of people say, well

130
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: the Jaguars should resign him. Well yeah, but it takes

131
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: two parties to make a deal. And if I'm in

132
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: the Juan Taylor camp, I've been in that position before.

133
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: You want to get the free agency to see what

134
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: your value really is because your value reaches, I believe,

135
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: the highest possible level when you get to that free

136
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: agent level. And he's got a great opportunity, and you know,

137
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: credit to him. He had an excellent year, excellent year,

138
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: and I think I got I think he got some

139
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: great coaching by offensive line coach Phil Rauscher, and it

140
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: really kind of I think settled Joan Taylor. He had

141
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: his best year by far, especially as a as a

142
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: pass protector. He was just fantastic as a pass protector

143
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: and it was great to see you know, and I

144
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: like Juan guy works hard, plays hard, is all about ball.

145
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: I still believe that he's got another level that he

146
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: can get to as far as finishing plays. I believe

147
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: he's got another level that he can get to in

148
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: run blocking because he plays that so important right tackle

149
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: position where it's needed that he needs to be a

150
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: physical presence in the run game. But look, if it

151
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, you've got a young player that I thought

152
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: really kind of blossomed before our eyes at the end

153
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: of last season with the injury to Cam Robinson. I

154
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: mean Walker Little. Well. With Walker, I mean he can

155
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: he play right tackle. We saw the competition last year

156
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: and I don't think he finished the competition very well.

157
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: But I think he gained confidence playing this past year

158
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: and I think this year will be very different. And

159
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: what did he play fifteen snaps at right tackle during

160
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: that one game and then Cam got hurt in the

161
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: same game he had to go back to last Here

162
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: comes Juan off the bench again to finish the game.

163
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: We didn't get a full sample size at right tackle

164
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: in live games of him, But you have to you

165
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: have to remember this about Walker Little. How many how

166
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: many games of football did he play prior to this

167
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: year in the last three years, and not many, No, really,

168
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: not many at all. He didn't played for two years

169
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: in college. A couple preseason games, yeah, you know where

170
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: he played part of the game. And so I think

171
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: the end of this past season for him, I think

172
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: was a was a big confidence builder and let him know, hey,

173
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: look I just played left tackle against some of the

174
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: best players that the game has to offer. And I

175
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: did it in the playoffs too, by the way, and

176
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: I did okay. So I think this gives him a

177
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: shot of confidence going into this year that look, if

178
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: things don't get done with Joan Taylor, then it will

179
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what happens. You know, it is

180
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: Cam gonna be the left tackle, as Walker little gonna

181
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: be the left tackle, you know, if Juwan is out

182
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: of the picture, I mean, so is somebody's got to

183
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: be right, somebody's got to be left to find another

184
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: one somewhere. I don't know, you know, yeah, but I

185
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: mean I can tell you this, if you don't end

186
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: up getting Joan Taylor, you got to find somebody that

187
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: can be your swing backup. That was obviously the huge

188
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: piece of last year. I mean, those they had injuries. Whatever,

189
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: Walker was that guy, it worked out. But if you're

190
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: one of those guys is gone, you gotta start over again. Well,

191
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: and that's why you always say that the draft is

192
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: lifeblood of every franchise. You know. Now you have to

193
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: go out and find the next Walker Little right, the

194
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: guy that was the backup tackle, swing tackle. And if

195
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: you had somebody get hurt he steps in plays, well, okay,

196
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: can you find that guy in the draft. Probably not

197
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: gonna find that guy. And free agency you just don't.

198
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: You just don't do that. All right. I'm gonna ask

199
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: you this, who had the better sample sized last year

200
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: at left tackle? Cam Robinson or Walker Little Oh. I

201
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: think that's a great question for me. It's Cam. I

202
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: thought Cam was doing really well. But you also have

203
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: to think not so much short term, but you have

204
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: to think long term. And I when I say long term,

205
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about three and four years down the road,

206
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: because three and four years down the road, I mean

207
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: there can be a lot of circumstances the change between

208
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: now and there. But you have to look further down

209
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: the road as to pose as opposed to right now.

210
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: Like right now, Cam's probably your better left tackle and

211
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: low Walker to get comfortable at right. Cam's got a

212
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 1: lot of reps. But the whole goal of the season

213
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 1: is to get better to where you're playing your best

214
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: at the end. Okay, So are you gonna be better

215
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: at the end of next season or this season coming

216
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: up with Walker playing at right tackling and Cam it left,

217
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: or will you be a better offensive line with Walker

218
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: at left Cam at right. I've said this before. I

219
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: think Cam Robinson. Cam Robinson can be one of the

220
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: best right tackles in the game because he plays the

221
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: game like a right tackle. He's physical, he's strong, he finishes,

222
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: he's got a little bit of um, what's the right

223
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: word to say with that's okay to say on the radio.

224
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: He's got a little edge to him. Yes, that's a

225
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: good word. That's a good word. That's fair. He's got

226
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: some edge to him and uh and Walker had just

227
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: started to show a little bit of it at the

228
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: end of the year, but Cam shows it consistently. So

229
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: right tackles, you'd like to have a little bit of edge. Yeah,

230
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: But a left tackle who was drafted as a left tackle,

231
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: who's played every game in his career at left tackle,

232
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: who signed an extension as a left tackle. Probably, I mean,

233
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I'm not gonna speak for him. I'm

234
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: guessing he probably doesn't want to play right tackle. Probably doesn't.

235
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: And I could totally understand that. But you know what,

236
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: right tackles get paid to. Yeah, and uh and I

237
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, and this is maybe a question that you

238
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: could ask or answer. Did Cam Robinson ever play right

239
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: tackle at at Alabama? I don't believe has he ever

240
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: played like a game right tackle? It was so long

241
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: ago though, now right, Yeah, But and here's the thing.

242
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: Some guys can can make that switch. The guy won

243
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: the Outland Trophy to some guys are I don't gonna

244
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: use a term that I played with a guy one time,

245
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: and we had a guy. To give you a funny story,

246
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: we had a guy who's a tight end. And it

247
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: was the draft in which the New York Giants drafted

248
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: a tight end and the New York Jets drafted a

249
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: tight end. And I was with the Jets at the time.

250
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: We drafted Johnny Mitchell and the Giants drafted the tight

251
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: end from Notre Dame who eventually came here and played

252
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: for a number of years. And I'm drawn a blank

253
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: on his name. So anyway, but Johnny Mitchell could throw

254
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: right handed the ball football like fifty yards sixty yards,

255
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: throw the ball with his left hand, left arm fifty

256
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: sixty yards. And so one of the guys on the

257
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: team was watching him do that, and what's the term ambidextrous? Yes, okay,

258
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: one of the guys on the team goes, man, Johnny,

259
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: you're amphibious. So my point of that is is that

260
00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: with a tackle, are they amphibious ambidextrous or are they not?

261
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: Because I've I've seen guys that you put them in

262
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: a right handed stance and that's their natural. You put

263
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: them in a left handed stance and they're awkward. They

264
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: can't do it. It's like a foreign language to them.

265
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: So I think it's going to be interested to see

266
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: how it plays out. But I think, you know, the

267
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: common thought probably is going to be cam it left

268
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: and then let Walker play it right and then you

269
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: see how it goes well. The twenty twenty three season

270
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: is on the horizon and you don't want to miss it.

271

274
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: Renewal's deadlines. By the way, it was earlier this week,

275
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: I believe yesterday. So the next step of the offseason

276
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: is underway for season tickets. Join the Jaguars now and

277

Speaker 1: don't watch the Jags become Kings of the Jungle again

278
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: from your couch. We've got plenty ahead. Bryan Balding, year

279
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: of NFL Networks at four thirty, we'll get his thoughts

280
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: on the Ridley Edition and much more. Franchise tag for

281
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram and a inside a week down to resigned players.

282
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: Before the start of the league year. We are often

283
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: running It's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network,

284
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: the station that the Jaguars listened to ten ten x,

285
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: our home of the Jetsonville Jaguars. You got a window

286
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: huge folk free agency actually opens to try to close

287
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: these deals. You know, Doug and I have talked ownership,

288
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: Shot and the three of us have talked very important

289
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: for us to keep our core players together, but it's

290
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: got to make sense for both signs. It's got to

291
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: be a win win, and we've told that to the players.

292
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: But we strongly believed in keeping our this group together.

293
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: That is Trent Bulky, Jaguars general manager at the combine.

294
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: Last week, John Ozan and I had him on Radio

295
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: Row and welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour, JP Shadrick

296
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: with Jeff Logeman. We're on Jaguars social media, Twitter, Facebook

297
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: and YouTube of course, sinten xl AM and Jaguars dot com.

298
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: Since that conversation, the Jaguars have franchise tagged Evan Ingram

299
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: about eleven million bucks. Well it's just a placehold expensive, yes,

300
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: But Evan Ingram tweeted after the fact, Hey, he's excited

301
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: to be back in Jacksonville, but is looking forward to

302
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: a long term deal with the Jaguars. So it could

303
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: be just a placeholder and that's fine. It could be

304
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: look that the tag is convenient to use at a

305
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: couple of different positions fullback, running back, tight end, guard

306
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: and center. The tag is not very expensive at those positions,

307
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: and kicker and punter. Okay, but I was just focusing

308
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: on offense. Yes, yeah, the premium positions on offense obviously

309
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: our quarterback, wide receiver, tackle, and so the opportunity to

310
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: use the tag to ensure that you're going to keep

311
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: one of your core players and to continue to work

312
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: on a contract extension. I'm not a big fan of

313
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: the tag. I wish the league would do away with it. Why. Well,

314
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: I think it penalizes some players. I mean, why should

315
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram not have the same ability to test the

316
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: market like a Juwan Taylor? Is that fair to Evan Ingram?

317
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: So I think it And when it was originally done,

318
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: it was kind of a give and take obviously in

319
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: the negotiations and collective bargaining, because you wanted to allow

320
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: the owners to be able to keep some of their

321
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: teams together. That was their main concern, and so the

322
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: ability to use the tag was to help them kind

323
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: of keep certain players. Well, it penalizes certain players on

324
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: the opposite spectrum when you look at it from the

325
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: player standpoint. But look, I'm glad that that he's here.

326
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm extremely happy to see his response. Yes, I mean,

327
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: it's that just goes to show you how mature and

328
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: how much of a pro Evan Ingram is, because there's

329
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that could have responded in a

330
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: very derogatory way. And it's been consistent with him that

331
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: the day clean out day, the two days after the

332
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: loss in the divisional round, we were in the locker

333
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: room with him and asked him, Hey, you know what

334
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: if they franchise you, would you be upset. He's like,

335
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, hey, it wouldn't be I want a longer deal.

336
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: But if that's a placeholder for something longer, okay, that's fine.

337
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: So he betted himself with this one year deal to

338
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: come down here and it's worked out, obviously for eleven

339
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: million dollars franchise tag at least. I think it just

340
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: goes to show you that he's the type of person

341
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: that you do that you do want to do a

342
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: long term deal with. Because of the maturity level of

343
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: the response that he had with the tagging, I thought

344
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: that that was tremendous. And when I saw that, I

345
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: was like, you know that, I wasn't surprised because that's

346
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: just how Evan is. I mean, he's a very mature player.

347
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: He works hard and total pro and that's why you

348
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: brought him in here. He's very similar to Zay Jones.

349
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: He's very similar to Christian Kirk, you know last year's

350
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: free agent class. I mean, Trent Balking and look and

351
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: Doug the straight A's on that free agent class, especially

352
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: when it comes to the character category. I mean fantastic. So,

353
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: but you know, listening to the conversation that you guys

354
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: had last Thursday with Trent and also some conversation that

355
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: were had with Doug and from the media podium and

356
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: all that. When you're a team, you want to be

357
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: able to keep your core together. But at the same time,

358
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: you can't be scared of change, because if you're scared

359
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: of change, then sometimes you become stale. And so with

360
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: this football team, I think it's important that you keep

361
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: the core together. But again, you can't be scared of

362
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: the unknown. I mean, look at what Kansas City did

363
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: when they completely revamped their offensive line. I mean they

364
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: basically ousted every body and then did a complete rebuild

365
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: of their offensive line, which most people would have like,

366
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: how can you do that. You've got Patrick Mahomes, right, yeah, right,

367
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: I mean he's the guy. You can't do that, well,

368
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. But they were able to do it, and

369
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: I believe they actually got better up front because they

370
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: had the courage to be able to step into some

371
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: unknown waters. And as a football team, you can't be

372
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: afraid to step into some unknown waters. But you better

373
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: have a plan, and you better be able to execute

374
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: that plan, because if you make a couple of missteps,

375
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: it can go wrong in a hurry. So I'm looking

376
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: forward to seeing what happens once this team gets the

377
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: free agency, and also looking forward to seeing what happens

378
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: with Juwan Taylor. I don't believe he'll be back. I

379
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: think the money's gonna get too big. And but I'm

380
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: most excited with this football team when it comes to

381
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: the draft because that's where that's where this team is

382
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: gonna make. Hey ja, since the combine, or right around

383
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: the combine, move some money around to get underneath the

384
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: cap restructured for you Lewikin's deal, and then move some

385
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: of Sheriff's A Jones and Christian Kirk's money to signing

386
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: bonus money, so kind of moving it around. Yea, it

387
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: basically becomes cash. And you know that you have to

388
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: have an ownership willing to do that too, by the way,

389
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: well yes, and and an owners that has the cash

390
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: to do that and the willingness to do that. And

391
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: the reality is is that you are essentially moving some

392
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: moneys into the future, which at some point you're going

393
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: to have to be able to handle that in the future.

394
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: When the first when when that first started happening, it

395
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: was looked at as like, man, the players really helping

396
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: out the team. And then people really started to understand

397
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: what it was. The players helping the team out to

398
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: get more cap money by taking more upfront money. Players

399
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: not doing that because he's just got a nice kind heart, JP.

400
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: He's doing that because it's putting cash money in his pocket.

401
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: It's essentially getting more guaranteed money because you're getting that

402
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: money now, right now. And so yeah, so when you

403
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 1: some some people fans have had the reaction, Yeah, man,

404
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: it's really good that Sheriff and those guys re restructured

405
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: their deals to help the team out, you know, to

406
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: that way they can keep some guys and still you know,

407
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: be a player in free agency and all that. Can

408
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,239
Speaker 1: you imagine the next day, you know, go to your

409
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: tiaa bank account and looking in there and all of

410
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: a sudden, there's what twenty million extra dollars in there. WHOA, hello,

411
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: who got twenty million dollars? If that's the number, you know,

412
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: just for an example, like if that's the signing bonus.

413
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: I was thinking, like tents, I was like, yeah, I'm

414
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: happy with that. Yeah, that's fine, But I mean that's

415
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: looked that that's that's the world that some of these

416
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: players are in. Though. JP you bring up a great point,

417
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: because I mean, some of these guys, that's the number

418
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: that they may end up getting twenty which is essentially

419
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: an advance on a paragraph five salary that gets fronted

420
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: or becomes a signing bonus, and then that twenty million

421
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: gets spread out over the next three or four years.

422
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 1: That lessens the cap hit in the current here. I

423
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: mean that's you know, we joke around about twenty million

424
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: and thinks, oh, that's just you know, that's a lumber's

425
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: too big. But in reality is in some cases that's

426
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: the number that some teams are fronting certain guys. Let's

427
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: come back in a moment, Brian Balding or standing by

428
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,200

430
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: a film junkie. I like it. There's no doubt he

431

00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,760

459
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: the run game and being blockers. Does Calvin Ridley? Will

460
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: he fit that same that that system where he will

461
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: also be not a great receiver, but also will be

462
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: a good blocker as well. I think this, and I

463
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: think I heard it. I think we all heard it

464
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: in that sound bite. He's very contrite about what he's done.

465
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: He's been humbled and he's missed the game. And I

466
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: think that wide receiver room was pretty good. You know,

467
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk had an amazing year. Nobody thought, you know,

468
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: when they signed him to this time last year that

469
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 1: he was going to be that productive. Zay Jones was

470
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 1: just complete pro mark the whole group. I think he's

471
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: gonna fit in And if they say you know this,

472
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 1: Travis CTN can hit home runs if our wide receivers

473
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: are blocking the way they are capable of downfield. I

474
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: think he'll do whatever it takes to fit in and

475
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: to be a part of the group. And I don't

476
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: think he'll be any kind of an outlier when it

477
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: comes to that. Baldi he told the Players Tribute in

478
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: a letter that he played a lot of those successful

479
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: seasons with a broken foot. I mean they kept shooting

480
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,719
Speaker 1: him up and putting him out there, and then they

481
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: had a change in staffs and they after quickly realized

482
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: that it was broken. So that shouldn't be an issue.

483
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: If you just putting up the numbers in the past

484
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: with a broken foot, I mean, that's a good sign

485
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: for the future ahead. Well, he's such a good player.

486
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: I mean you go back to twenty nineteen, twenty twenty,

487
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: he might even with Julio Jones healthy, he was the

488
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver in Atlanta, and you can see why.

489
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: I mean they put you know, teams put their best

490
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: corner on and he beat the best corner. And that's

491
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: really what it comes down to. If you're gonna be

492
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: a number one wide receiver, you better be able to

493
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: beat number one corners. There's a bunch of good ones

494
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: in this league. We saw a couple of rookies coming

495
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: to this league last year and light it up. They're

496
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: only getting bigger, they're only getting longer, they're only getting faster,

497
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: and you've got to be able to beat him. He

498
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,479
Speaker 1: can beat him with his release, he can beat him

499
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: with his route running, you know, and he can flat

500
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: out run by people. You watch him against Marshawn Lattimore

501
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: and some of the elite corners of this league. I mean,

502
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: he can hold his own I think with anybody, and

503
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: so I think that Jacksonell did their homework. I think

504
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: they got the right type of guy. And I just

505
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: think anybody, especially as young as he is, that's been

506
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: humbled at this point in his career, I don't think

507
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: you're going to see any kind of issues from him. Brian,

508
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: how would you kind of rank this Jaguars receiving group,

509
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: you know, assuming Ridley is the player that we've seen

510
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: in the past with him, Zay Jones, Christian Kirk, if

511
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: you had to rank them somewhere in the league one

512
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: through thirty two, where would you put him at? Well,

513
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, this is all gonna you know, that's all

514
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: in flux right now, Jeff. With free agency in the

515
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: draft coming up, so it's gonna change. But I mean,

516
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: just right now, especially where they played the last you know,

517
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: five six weeks of the season, Evan Ingram just exploded,

518
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: as you saw, you know, week in week out, and

519
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: you got to put him in that group because they

520
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: treat them like a wide receiver. They put them in

521
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: matchups and three by one sets and all that. So

522
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: I have to include Evan in there. And they just

523
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: obviously franchised him and they don't want to lose him,

524
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: and I think he wants to be there. But look,

525
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: it's an elite group. You saw. I mean, the Chargers

526
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,959
Speaker 1: had been playing great past defense up into that playoff game.

527
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: In the second half, they couldn't stop them, and you know,

528
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: sometimes you just need, you know, thirty minutes of great

529
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: football like they showed, you know, to have one of

530
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: the greatest comebacks, you know, that we've ever seen in

531
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs in league history. And so I think they're

532
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: a great group and they have a guy that could

533
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: kind of do just about anything. Yeah, looking at this

534
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: past season, the growth of Trevor Lawrence was just it

535
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: was amazing to watch as the season progressed Brian watching

536
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: his growth as development, as maturity, which we saw a

537
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: lot of that as rookie year, but it was kind

538
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: of hard for people, I think, to focus in on that.

539
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: But watching his game this past year, where do you

540
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: see his ceiling being at I don't think it's in

541
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: sight because the growth that we saw just in the

542
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: course of this season. You know, he when it was

543
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: four thounds in some of these games that they had

544
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: to win to stay in the playoff hunt. I mean,

545
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: it was one stick throw after another. I mean that

546
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: game against Dallas, you know, just one of the more

547
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: thrilling games that anybody in Jackson has ever seen that

548
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: team play that Thursday night against the Jets, against a

549
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: good defense, in their game plan they had in that game,

550
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just off the top of my head,

551
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: just going back. I mean, you saw it all. You

552
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: saw the movement, you saw the play design, how smart

553
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: it was to be able to beat a guy like Sauce,

554
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: and how they beat Sauce in that game against the Jets.

555
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a combination of play design, confidence in

556
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: the staff, the personnel around Trevor, the offensive line was

557
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: excellent all year long. I just think it all came together.

558
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: And if you said, what's the ceiling, I don't know,

559
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: because we just saw a tremendous arca this year, and

560
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: I just think there's a lot more there to it,

561
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: to the point where you know, it's going to be

562
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: difficult to choose between Mahomes, Joe Burrow. You know, you

563
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: know Trevor, I mean he might be in that category.

564
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: Brian Boldinger with us from NFL Network, Fox Sports, Compass Media.

565
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: It's Jaguar's happy hour, and yet you mentioned it that

566
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: he's got to kind of be in that echelon if

567
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: you're going to compete year over here for playoff runs

568
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: and go deep into the playoffs in the ASC especially,

569
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: This is a quarterback group right now, Baldy that I

570
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: don't know if we've seen one like this in a

571
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: long time, and in one conference just dominate well. I mean,

572
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: if you just looked at them the Divisional Championship round,

573
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: the eight teams that were standing, Dak Prescott was the

574
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: oldest quarterback in the group, you know, Josh Allen Patrick

575
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: justin like you know, Trevor, Joe Burrow. I mean, it's

576
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: a Jalen hurts. It's a young group. This is the future,

577
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: and Trevor is right there in there with him. And

578
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: so you saw the confidence just being around in the

579
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: game day and I'm sure Jeff during the week. I

580
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: mean being around the guy, you see a complete difference.

581
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: He's always been. You know, he's always been the best

582
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: everywhere he's ever beenned Cartersville High School, CLEMPS or whatever.

583
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: But now he's in that group, Like, I don't think

584
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a drop off. I think that Larkin

585
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: is only going to go up. And let's face it,

586
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: that group of eight in the Divisional championship round this year,

587
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: they could be seeing each other a bunch in the

588
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: next five years. The way that the teams have been

589
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: building around him, I think they've all got special players.

590
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: I live in Philly. I know Jayalen, I know how

591
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: special he became this year, and I think he's going

592
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: to get better. So, yes, it's the playoffs are going

593
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: to be must CTV for quite a few years with

594
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 1: these young guns playing quarterback. Brian watching this past season,

595
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: you know, we're talking a lot about the Jimmies and Joe's,

596
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: which are the players we always refer to, but coaching

597
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: matters and watching film this year of this Doug Peterson

598
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: offense every week I came away going, wow, look at

599
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: that play design. Yeah, I mean was that as impressive

600
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: to you as well? Yeah? It was, Jeff and I

601
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: saw it. I saw it in Philadelphia when they won

602
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: a championship. And the thing that, you know, just listening

603
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: to wires and get to know Doug, you know as

604
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: a head coach. I knew him as a player and whatnot.

605
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: But like, you know, the great thing about him, Jeff

606
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: is he's a great collaborator. He takes in a lot

607
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: of information. It could be from the offensive line coach.

608
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: It could be from Trevor, it could be from you know,

609
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: it could be Kyl Shatley, it could be from anybody,

610
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: um upstairs, downstairs. Like he just can take in a

611
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: lot of information to come out with the right play,

612
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: the right concept. Um. The way they tweaked things week

613
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: in week out. You saw, you know, some of the

614
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: play designs in the red Zone this year that you know,

615
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: we're just clever and they just worked. I mean you

616
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: could put you know, a highlight reel together just the

617
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: plays of you know, creativity and design and ingenuity and

618
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's about knowing your personnel and what

619
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: you put on tape and what you anticipate a team

620
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: to do against that formation or that motion and then

621
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,959
Speaker 1: tweaking at it and you know, and they and then

622
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: to pull those plays out at the right time. It

623
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: was a combination of all that. Jeff I saw it.

624
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: And if you're a Jacksonville Jaguarfian, if you're Defennie Jacksonville,

625
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: you have to be ready for it. You gotta love

626
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: it as a fan and as an opponent, you gotta

627
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: be ready for what you haven't seen. Boy, you played

628
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: the game a long time. You played in the in

629
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: the trenches his offensive lineman. Looking at the Jaguars offensive line,

630
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: I think if there's one area that this team could

631
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: improve and take a significant step forward, it's it's improving

632
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: the play the physicality that offensive line making it. I

633
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: don't want to say like Philadelphia's offensive line, but that's

634
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: kind of the benchmark in the National Football League. Bad. Yeah,

635
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: I mean, how do they take that next step all

636
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: that offensive line and kind of get that offensive line

637
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: to be one of the top offensive lines to help

638
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: what is gonna be or what we believe is one

639
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: of the top quarterbacks. Yeah. Well, I mean it starts

640
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: with you know, signing Brandon Sheriff last year. I mean,

641
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: you got to have one guy like that up front.

642
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: He's you know, the Sheriff is as tough as they come.

643
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: He's just a grinder. M He's going to try to

644
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: break your sword every Sunday. And that attitude permeates. You know,

645
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: he got, you know, add a rookie in their playing

646
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: center this year. You know, he's only going to get better.

647
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: I think your offensive line is only as good as

648
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: your center. You look at Jason Kelsey in Philadelphia, they're

649
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: not the same without Jason Inner and just you know,

650
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: the protections, just how stable he makes the middle of

651
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: the line, or a quarterback that can step up, it's imperative.

652
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: I think it's important to try to keep Joan, Like

653
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan. I know he's going to be

654
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: coveted in free agency. But if they do lose them

655
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: because they just can't afford him, and that happens because

656
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: I thought Joann played well and I'm a big fan

657
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: of his, but I know other teams that like him

658
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: as well too, So he might get a pay day.

659
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: But if they lose them, they better they better hit

660
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: the draft and find them. You know, whether it's you

661
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: know Darnell right, you know out of Tennessee. You know

662
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: you've got to replace him, and it's imperative that they

663
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: stay strong in the trenches. I know Doug believes in that.

664
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: That was the philosophy in Philadelphia. He knows the value

665
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: that if they lose Joan, I think you better go

666
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: high in the draft, you go try to replace him.

667
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: Brian Boldinger with his final thought with you, Baldi, And

668
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: it goes to the NFL draft. You know, as a

669
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 1: recent history around here, the jackson picked number one overall.

670
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: That is not the case anymore earlier. They have the

671
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: twenty fourth pick in this draft. Kind of hard to

672
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: cherry pick players at that spot. There are some needs

673
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: coming up. Cornerback one of those for the Jags. But

674
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 1: in general, top of the draft, how are you feeling?

675
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: You know, we're a month or so out, a month

676
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: and a half out from this draft and just out

677
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: of the combine. What stands out near the top. What

678
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: can we expect? Well? I think, you know, for Jackville,

679
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: it ties into Jacksonville because I don't think there's any

680
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: chance at these top four quarterbacks, you know, whether you're

681
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: talking about C. J. Stroud, Bryant Youngs, Will Levis, you

682
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: know Anthony Richardson. I believe all four are going to

683
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: the top ten. So it's gonna push a lot of

684
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: really good players. This is a deep draft in corners.

685
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,720
Speaker 1: It's a good draft for offensive lineman, especially interior offensive linemen.

686
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: It's an excellent draft for tight ends. Like it's gonna

687
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: push a good player and maybe a top flight corner

688
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: or tackle down to number twenty four. And you know,

689
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: Shaquille Griffin just got released. He was antic corner to

690
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: might be antic tackle. I think you can get a

691
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: really good player, maybe a plug and play starter at

692
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: twenty four in this draft right now. Baldy, you're the man.

693
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: Give him a follow on Twitter. If you don't, what

694
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: are you doing? You should at Baldy NFL. Brian Baldinger

695
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: always good to visit with you. Thanks for taking the

696
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: time in Yeah, my pleasure of guys. I'll see a

697
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: round Jeff, take care, guys. Thank you, Baldy. Brian Baldinger

698
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: one of the best in the business, one of the best,

699
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: and I got a lot of respect for Baldi just

700
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 1: because I mean, he's a guy that studies the film.

701
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: He knows what he's talking about. He doesn't just read

702
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: clips and then regurgitate information. He finds his own information.

703
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: And I think that's the mark of a true film

704
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: room junkie. And I respect that he's a guy that

705
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: played way back in the nineteen eighties. Been a while

706
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: since he played. He's not that old. Come, I'm skidding,

707
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: of course he's he'd met him about the same era. Yeah,

708
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, yeah, he was a little bit were

709
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: he was a little bit for me, it kind of

710
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: hit tail end to him was the beginning of you

711
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: know me so so we kind of overlapped a little

712
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: bit there. But yeah, he and and here's the other thing.

713
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: He has done a tremendous job as a game analyst,

714
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 1: you know, for years as a TV analyst, And every

715
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: time I had the opportunity to listen to him do

716
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: a broadcast, I always listened intently to him because I

717
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: knew that he he was a guy who studied the

718
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: game and studied the film, and he was going to

719
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: give you the truth back in a moment. A look

720
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: at the Miller Electric Center when we returned, it's Jaguars

721
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. When Jaguars news breaks,

722
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: you will hear about it first on ten ten x

723
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: olt Home of the Checks in Bille Jaguars. You know,

724
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: to be around the type of men that are that

725
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: be assembled as a staff, and you know, working with

726
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: Trent Bulky and obviously they're the team, it just it

727
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: just rejuvenates even more. And you just got a spirit

728
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: that that you just want to keep pouring yourself into

729
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: these players and and and keep watching because I know

730
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: there's more out there for us. And that's what I

731
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: was trying to teach the team. You know, as the

732
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: season progressed, there's more for us. There's bigger and better

733
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: and and um, you know, every every team every year

734
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: is wanting to win a world championship. Only one team

735
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: can do it, and you know, ultimately we want to

736
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: be one of those teams. Stug Peterson at the Combine

737
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: last week in Indianapolis, and if you're watching us on

738
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars social media, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, a

739
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: live look outside at the Miller Electric Center. I had

740
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: a chance logs to take a tour of that yesterday.

741
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: Well good Peterson and Trent Balky and a few of

742
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: the staff on both sides, and it was fantastic. It

743
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: is huge and it's coming along nicely. They are installing

744
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: the irrigation system on the field area at this point

745
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: and all water and all air will be pumped in

746
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: from underneath. Really, there will be no crown on any

747
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: of the field. It will be just a flat surface,

748
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: so they can alternate the where the fields go and

749
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: just not where the field out right, So you could

750
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: you can do what however you want, because there's cameras,

751
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, permanent cameras for the film staff on all

752
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: four sides, so you can you can do it anyway

753
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: you want. Yeah, it's pretty cool. And then the grass

754
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: will go in in April. The drainage system has got

755
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: to be pretty incredible for for a system like that,

756
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: and that I've never heard of that putting the waters

757
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: all pumped pumped in underneath. I've seen where they have

758
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: like drip irrigation underground, so I guess that's kind of

759
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: what it's like. I guess interesting. They had a lot

760
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: of exposed yesterday. They had a big event with the

761
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: construction workers. Doug Peterson spoke to them and they had

762
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: a kind of a there's about four months to go

763
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: before they turn over the keys. The end of June

764
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: is the goal, and as of right now, they got

765
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do, doing some extra work

766
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: to get it done. But as of right now, they're

767
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: on track, and then the JAG should have it by

768
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: July first and then ready for training camp. Yeah, that'll

769
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: be exciting to see all of that, and I'm sure

770
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 1: there will be a little things that they've got to

771
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: kind of work through as they get closer. But man,

772
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 1: the credit to the construction guys that have been putting

773
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: a scene together at an incredibly fast paced I mean

774
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 1: they have been working and intensely. I mean I'm talking

775
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: weekends and I mean working in late of the night.

776
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's been one heck of a job now.

777
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: And it is a stark contrast from the area to

778
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: work in this building as opposed to over there. Well,

779
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: that one has light. It's got windows everywhere, natural light, unbelievable.

780
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: The stadium where most of the offices are at now

781
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: most people don't have never seen them. For the most part.

782
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: I call it the cat cave instead of the bat

783
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: cave because there's there's like no natural light that exists

784
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 1: in the business offices, the coaches offices. So you'll see

785
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: a lot of times coaches when they and players, when

786
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: they have an opportunity, they just literally leave the stadium

787
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: just to go out and see some light, because there

788
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,760
Speaker 1: are times during the season when the time changes or whatever.

789
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: You can if you're in here early enough in the morning,

790
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: the sun's not up yet, and you're inside all day

791
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: for some reason, and then you leave and the sun

792
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: is already set. It's like you're in Alaska or something

793
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: that you don't see the sun. Yeah, that's that's not

794
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: a lot of fun there. No sun's good for you. Apparently,

795
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: that glowing orb in the sky is what they call

796
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: the sun. Oh you get you gotta get your vitamin D. Yeah,

797
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: no doubt. Hey. Concert season is upon us now. There's

798
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: no better time to become a Dailies Place Blue member.

799
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: You can enjoy the best seats at a minute's premium,

Speaker 1: on the schedule, including Kenny Chesney, Old Dominion, Yellow Card

804
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: Concert season. Man, let's go Kenny Chesney. It's a big one.

805
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: That's a big one. What's the date on that? I

806
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: don't know? Soon, very sad. I think it's April. Okay,

807
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: we just to go to a bowl events dot com

808
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: to find out Daily's place dot com. I think yeah,

809
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: they probably both have it on their upcoming shows. This

810
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: is our crack research staff. April fourteenth, Kenny Chesney, nice

811
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: the Friday seven thirty. I'll be a good one, that's right.

812
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: I'll be sold out at some point, if it's not already,

813
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: If it's not already exactly right, Hey, let's go around

814
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: the National Football League. The New York Jets have met

815
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers since he's come out of his darkness retreat.

816
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: Multiple members of the organization attended the meeting in California.

817
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,240
Speaker 1: They went to him, including owner Woodie Johnson, GM Joe Douglas,

818
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:44,479
Speaker 1: head coach Robert Sala, and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. Well,

819
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: just it feels like it's trending the Jets direction with

820
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Well, it's the only direction there could possibly go.

821
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 1: It's either the Jets or Green Bay or Aaron decided

822
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: to retire. I mean, who else is gonna take on

823
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: what is his salary? Fifty million? I think it's something.

824
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a big number, big, it's kind of weird,

825
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: um And I think a lot of it depends on

826
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: your perspective on it. Are you a fan of Aaron

827
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: Rodgers or are you not? And I'm a fan of

828
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: his ability when he plays well? But would what would

829
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: New York do to him? You know, could he make

830
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: that team better? Look, if you're gonna make a team better,

831
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 1: you've got to be willing to commit to that team.

832
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 1: He hasn't committed to the Green Bay Packers over the

833
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: last couple of years for an off season program yet. True.

834
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna go to a new football

835
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: team and have new teammates, I mean, shouldn't you be

836
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: willing to put the time? It's not like invest It's

837
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: not like your teammates had a bunch of veteran receivers

838
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: coming back all the time. They had a bunch of

839
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: rookie guys. Well, there's constant change. I mean, there's constant change.

840
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: And look the all season is It's not like they're

841
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 1: asking you to have fifty practices with your team. Yeah,

842
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: a mini camp and then you got thirteen OTAs, which

843
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: is minimal. The stuff that on the field stuff is

844
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,720
Speaker 1: just so become so minimal now because of the limitations

845
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 1: that the coaches have. And why would you not First

846
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 1: of all, why would you not do that to to

847
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 1: take the opportunity to get better number one, to help

848
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: your teammates get better number two, to create chemistry number three,

849
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: and then also to show your commitment to the organization

850
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: and your teammates. And Aaron Rodgers hasn't done that. As

851
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: you can probably tell, I'm not the biggest Aaron Rodgers family,

852
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: and uh with the Jets. I mean, the reality is

853
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: this big city, big city lights, big city attention. And

854
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: Aaron he's had attention. He's the Packers quarterback. No, I

855
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: get that about I get that. But here's here's the

856
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 1: thing that will not be the same as Green Bay.

857
00:45:54,719 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: If Aaron Rodgers has or says something that's not so

858
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: great in Green Bay, it was kind of handled with

859
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 1: kid gloves because he's Aaron Rodgers. It's Green Bay. In

860
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: New York, dude, they're getting after they buy ink by

861
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: the by the drums. Okay, the sports writers in New York, right, Okay,

862
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: they sharpen their pencils to a very fine point. And look,

863
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: I know a lot of those guys and they're great people.

864
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: But the moment that Aaron Rodgers starts acting like a

865
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: jackass is the moment that Aaron Rodgers starts getting treated

866
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: like a jackass. So I can't wait to see and

867
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: I hope he does go to New York because I

868
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: think it will be nothing but pure entertainment. Sounds fun

869
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,959
Speaker 1: to be. The other team in New York just signed

870
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,919
Speaker 1: their quarterback, by the way, Daniel Jones, a four year deal,

871
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty million dollars. Daniel Jones about that,

872
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: what was guarantee? I don't know what the guarantees are?

873
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: Four years, one hundred and sixty million, forty million a

874
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: year and what what what are? And here's the crazy thing.

875
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: You don't know what's going on in Baltimore because you've

876
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: got a negotiation that's very fragile because Lamar Jackson is

877
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: represented himself. And I'm not saying that Daniel Jones is

878
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: in Lamar Jackson's category, because he's not, because Lamar Jackson

879
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: is a dynamic runner. But they're kind of similar in

880
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, and that Daniel Jones is an

881
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 1: effective runner, still kind of learning how to be more

882
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: of a pocket passer. Lamar Jackson similar in a lot

883
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,439
Speaker 1: of ways, but Lamar Jackson is lights out dynamic. Every

884
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: time he touches the ball, you go, you hold your breath, right.

885
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: You don't do that so much with Daniel Jones, but

886
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: he's been an effective runner. So where's that negotiation at

887
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: in relation to that forty million dollar average Daniel Jones at.

888
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: We don't know because the Ravens don't want to talk

889
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 1: about it because Lamar's handling the negotiations himself. And if

890
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: you end up saying something, you're gonna end up hamper

891
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: in the process, offending your quarterback. That's why I wish

892
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson would get an agent. I mean, there's guys

893
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: that are willing to do it at a much reduced rate,

894
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: and they're professionals. They do that for a living. You

895
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 1: play quarterback for a living, have somebody help you do

896
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: your contract because that's what they do. And there's a

897
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: lot of guys that are out there that are really

898
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: good at it that would be willing to do it

899
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,919
Speaker 1: at a reduced rate because the money's gonna be so big,

900
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, and they'll have you on their roster

901
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: the whole You negotiate the rate, you know what I mean?

902
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: A lot of times, Wow, the agents are expensive. Yeah,

903
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: I get that, but more times than not, ninety nine

904
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: percent of the time the agent pays for his expensive

905
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: because of his expertise. Gino Smith signed a deal today,

906
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 1: actually signed it today, three years, seventy five million, thirty

907
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: million fully guaranteed for him. And what a story for

908
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: Gino Smith. Good for him, I don't. I mean, he's

909
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: been in the league forever and finally got an opportunity

910
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: and cash it in. Good job, Yeah, I mean I

911
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: think up until now he's made like sixteen seventeen million

912
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 1: in his career and then he just you know, he

913
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: just broke the bank and he look, he had a

914
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: great year. He had a great quarterback competition, he earned

Speaker 1: a quarterback who's had multiple chances at different stops it

924
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 1: finally ends up finding a way to have success. And

925
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,480
